Chapter 416: Internal and External Troubles
Shu and the capital are separated by more than 1,300 miles, and even if they are fast, it will take seven days to arrive at the earliest, let alone be responsible for escorting 200,000 stone of grain and grass.
Moreover, the king of Shu has not entered Beijing for many years, and the emperor is far away, and the emperor's ability to manage Shu is very limited.
Fortunately, the evil intentions of the King of Shu have not yet been revealed from the surface, and Shu is the most special place in the entire Xingzhao Kingdom, and until today, the King of Shu has not joined the game between the emperor and the five princes.
The emperor raised his head and looked at the flowers in the entire imperial garden, and a lonely look flashed in his eyes, thinking about how brilliant the exploits of the emperors before the Zhao Kingdom were?
As a result, when it came to him, he was already in turmoil, and it is undoubtedly the most reasonable to describe the current Xing Zhaoguo with internal and external troubles.
According to Xing Tianze, who can't bear the emperor's heart, the Qingcang Kingdom has now turned against the Fuyang Kingdom, the Qianli Shu Land that is not under the control of the Holy Saint, and Liu Jin, who governs alone in the west, and the Wang family, who holds the five princes who occupy Dongzhou and Jiangnan.
As long as every time he thought of this, the emperor's heart was like a knife.
I don't know how many late nights, he was awakened by his nightmare, as the lord of the people, he couldn't control the ministers, Wen couldn't give a strategy for governing the world and prosperity, and he couldn't command the three armies to expand the territory.
The emperor sometimes really felt that his emperor was really too much of a failure, and the loss of one son after another made the situation what it is today.
At the same time, the owners of more than a dozen grain stores in the Five Kings' Mansion all knelt on the ground, and Xing Tianze stood in place with his hands in his hands, coldly glancing at these people, and a cold look appeared in his eyes from time to time.
He sent Wuxian to call a lot of people, who were all standing in the courtyard at the door of the front hall at this time, and scolded these bosses who earned the ill-gotten wealth of the national disaster.
In the end, Xing Tianze pulled out the sword on the waist of one of the guards and plunged it into the courtyard of the palace, so that after the owners of these grain stores returned, each store handed over 2,000 stone of grain and grass for the army to go to the front.
And the price of grain will be adjusted back to the original way, if anyone dares to disobey the yang, then the five princes will definitely report the emperor to the crime of the nine clans.
"Please rest assured that the fifth prince will follow the prince's orders." A cadre of people agreed in unison.
Xing Tianze's hand directly got the center of many people, and the reputation of the five princes who were worried about the people suddenly penetrated into the hearts of the people.
After the news came out, Xue Yin angrily smashed everything in it to pieces, Xing Tianze was really too deceitful, and he actually did such a thing to cut off people's wealth when there was no one in his eyes.
"What a good pillar of the country for the fifth prince!" Xue Yin's heart was already full of tyranny.
At this time, there were several people kneeling in front of him, they were all the shadows of the Xue family on the market, although their family did not do business on the surface and did not buy real estate, but there were still a lot of archways in the secret.
It's just that it is not directly in the name of the Xue family, but handed over to Xue Yin's mother's clansmen to take care of.
But what Xing Tianze did today was nothing more than slapping them in the face of Xue, the fifth prince guessed well, the current disaster situation and the situation of the grain market had long been under the conjecture of the Xue family, in order to achieve the goal they expected, Xue Yin and Xue Dinger also secretly did a lot of things to add fuel to the fire.
"You shitty people are embarrassed to come to me and beg for mercy?" Xue Yin's chest kept rising and falling.
"The young master spares his life, the young master spares his life, the villains are all doing their best for the family, but we really can't stand the majesty of the five princes." One of them, kneeling on the ground, retorted.
Xue Yin didn't answer his words for the first time, the expression in his eyes had already become solemn, in his opinion, Xing Tianze only had two purposes for doing this.
The first is to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger to network the hearts of the people, and the other is to want to raise more food for military rations, one store is 2,000 stone of grain, and ten stores are 20,000 stone of grain.
The total number of people in this army was as high as 450,000, so the grain and grass that Xing Tianze wanted must be far higher than this.
Xue Yin suddenly thought of a way to crack it, didn't Xing Tianze just want grain and grass? What the Xue family has in their hands today is grain.
As long as Xing Tianze is given enough food, he will definitely lead the army to the front line, and how the price of food will rise at that time does not depend on his mood?
"Listen to me, tonight send someone to the north gate in the mountains and forests of ten miles to get grain, didn't the fifth prince ask each of you to give out 2,000 stones? This son thought about it for you, and gave him 20,000 stone of grain each. Xue Yin's tone was extremely relaxed.
The reason why he did this must have a calculation in his heart, as long as Xing Tianze can leave the capital early, then he can do more things in the future.
Moreover, although he Xue Yin is a person who loves money, he is also a patriotic person, and he understands what it means for Xing Tianze to go to the front line this time, so he will not have any distress if he sends out 200,000 stones of grain and grass directly.
Two hours passed quickly, and Yin Pingzhen suddenly came to the Five Princes' Mansion alone, and fighting side by side with Xing Tianze had always been what he had hoped for.
It's a pity that the relationship between them is no longer comparable to what it used to be, and all the mistakes were caused by his father, plus Xing Tianze finally let Yin Tianhu go, so Yin Pingzhen's heart has always been guilty of the five princes.
It was not Yin Tianhu's intention to hand over the military power, but what he proposed, it was just to help Xing Tianze as much as possible and make the strength in his hands more stable by half a point.
"Marquis Yin came to this king's mansion at night, shouldn't he come for a cup of tea?" After Xing Tianze came to the front hall, he sat down directly on the first place.
"The prince laughed, I just came here for the march, and as a deputy marshal, I should also be qualified to know the future marching plan, right?" Yin Pingzhen slowly put down the teacup in his hand.
"What Marquis Yin said is that you naturally have the right to know the strategic deployment in the future, but this king doesn't plan to send troops so soon." Xing Tianze only said this, and did not continue to speak.
Yin Pingzhen immediately frowned, the time of departure was stipulated by the emperor, could it be that something happened to Xing Tianze?
Xing Tianze couldn't intend to hide it, and directly said that the art of war Yun soldiers and horses had not moved grain and grass first, and this time they led an army of 450,000 people, and it was impossible to stay on the front line for a long time without grain and grass.
"As for the cattiness in it, I think it's better for you to go back and ask your father." Xing Tianze stood up from the chair, and after making a gesture of invitation to Yin Pingzhen, he said that there were still trivial matters in the house, so I would not be far away.
When he returned to his study, he sighed deeply.
