Seeing that Qin Yining didn't come up to talk to her at the first time, and then looked at the palace people behind her, he knew that it was inconvenient now, so he only squeezed out a smile and said, "The emperor personally ordered the Xuansu Concept, and the incense will definitely be very good." ”

The news of the emperor's obedience to public opinion is believed to be known to the whole world in less than half a day.

At that time, the people will inevitably feel a great sense of stability in their hearts, and they will be more appreciative of the emperor and more convinced of this metaphysical concept.

As long as he thought of Qin Huai's analysis at home from afar, the emperor not only used this matter to earn fame, but also was able to detain Qin Yining in this golden wire cage and be ready to be near the water at any time, and the Sun family was not worth it for his daughter.

Qin Yining had already ordered Xingyu and Snow at this time.

"My handmaidens have come, and have brought all my things, so that they will serve here for the rest of the year. You can go back to the palace now. ”

Xingyu, Fuxue, Xiao Ningzi, and Xiao Yangzi all showed expressions of disbelief.

I haven't seen anyone who can directly drive away the people sent by the emperor's orders!

"If you go back to Xuansu Zhenren, the emperor means to let the slaves and maids serve the real people."

A sneer bloomed on Qin Yining's lips: "The emperor asked me to lead the practice, and I still have palace people by my side to serve, is this like words?" Now that I have sent someone to accompany me, I don't need the people in the palace to serve me. I'm going to do it here, and I can't use it to have so many people waiting for me. If you are afraid that the emperor will blame you, you can tell the emperor that this is my order. ”

She was already forced to live here, and it would be too embarrassing for her to keep her cronies with her, but to take these outsiders with her.

The four of them have all seen the emperor's love for Qin Yining, and they have also seen how much ability this person has, so that the emperor can punish Concubine Lin Shufei, who has served for many years, in person, and can also make the emperor angry like thunder, but they are reluctant to move a finger of her, such a character, they can't afford to offend.

Thinking of this, the four of them saluted Qin Huaiyuan, Sun and Qin Yining and retreated.

Qin Yining smiled and handed Erbai to Qiu Lu, and said with a smile: "You are here, I can live comfortably, you go to settle the luggage first, and I will talk to my father and mother." ”

"Yes."

Autumn Dew, Jiyun and Rock Candy all entered the house with their baggage.

Qin Yining invited Qin Huaiyuan and Sun to sit down and have tea in the main hall on the first floor of the attic.

Seeing that there was no one else, Sun held Qin Yining's hand and tears fell uncontrollably, and kept saying: "I have wronged you, I have wronged you." ”

Qin Yining had been suffering in the palace for a few days, but his body was not only not better, but it was even more serious, plus he had to deal with the emperor and those people in the palace, he had long been exhausted, and now listening to Sun's words, his heart was sour, and tears almost fell.

She blinked, forcibly held back her tears, and then smiled: "Mother, don't feel sorry for me, there's nothing to be wronged about." Now the situation is like this, the emperor didn't kill me in a rage, it is already the best ending, I can save my life, and the rest can be considered in the long run. ”

Seeing that Qin Yining's expression was as calm and calm as Qin Huaiyuan, Sun nodded very movingly.

Qin Yining looked left and right, and then instructed Jiyun and a few people who had just sorted out their luggage and went downstairs, "You go outside and keep an eye on the surroundings." ”

Jiyun, Bingtang, and Qiu Lu knew that Qin Yining had something important to say to Qin Huaiyuan and the Sun family, so they nodded and retreated.

Qin Yining made sure that no one was eavesdropping, so he said in a low voice: "Father, I have heard some things in the palace in the past two days, I don't know if you have heard anything outside." ”

"What's the matter?" Qin Huaiyuan thought about it carefully, but didn't think of anything.

Qin Yining said: "I heard from the emperor's nurse Mama Jiao, this year, the grain taxed in various places was ordered by the emperor to be sold halfway, and the grain was not transported into Kyoto City at all, but is there such a thing?" ”

Because Emperor Taizong implemented treasure banknotes to replace the circulation of large amounts of gold and silver when the country was founded, and used to reduce the loss of gold and silver when they were circulated, so over the years, treasure banknotes were the most common currency.

However, due to the depreciation of the treasure banknotes, and the new and old color of the treasure banknotes, the value of the same denomination of the treasure banknotes was directly affected, and the taxes of the imperial court were carried out in the form of collecting grain.

As the Great Yan Dynasty lived in the rich land of the south, every time it was time for taxes, the cargo ships carrying tax grain would crowd the port, and the horse-drawn carriages would crowd Kyoto.

This year's tax collection time has not yet arrived, and grain has not yet been harvested in many areas. However, before the Emperor Taishang had not yet taken the throne, he added several taxes, which not only stripped all the people and merchants near the capital, but also increased the taxes of the common people across the country.

It is conceivable that this year's taxes are so heavy, and the taxes and grain will definitely be more than before, and the people will only be more dire when they catch up with this year's natural and man-made disasters.

And Qin Yining heard Mama Jiao talk to Xingyu in private.

The Emperor Taishang collected taxes in advance and raised taxes, and the collected grain was sold for money.

Qin Huaiyuan was dumbfounded, shocked and frightened.

"Sister Yi'er, is your news true?"

"Eight or nine times out of ten is true, I listened to the emperor's nurse. It is said that the emperor quarreled with the emperor that day, and some people heard that the grain from this year's tax was not delivered. ”

Qin Huaiyuan frowned and said, "But the people from the household department said that they would be able to wait for half a month for the tax grain." When my father heard the news before, he wanted to dissuade the emperor, how could he do this kind of exploitation of the people's fat and people's ointment? You must know that after the emperor increased taxes, if the grain of this year's tax is hoarded in Kyoto City, it can be enough for the soldiers and ordinary people in the city to eat for three years in a state of siege. ”

"Three years?" Qin Yining said in surprise: "So much! If there is this food, Kyoto will definitely be able to hold on, although the 100,000 people of the Tiger Ben army are Xiao Yong, but their military supply line is too long, and the Zhou Dynasty opened the country at the beginning of the country, and what was inherited was the mess of the Northern Hebei State, and the treasury had long been empty under the years of war. If we have food that we can eat for three years, we don't have to worry about the Great Zhou people not retiring from the army. ”

"yes. But if what you say is true, then things are not good. ”

Qin Huaiyuan buckled the table with his index finger, and said after a while: "I know about this matter." When I go back and ask the emperor for permission to send a guard to protect you, I will definitely make this matter clear. ”

Qin Yining said worriedly, "I feel strange that the Emperor Taishang has that temperament, so easily agreeing to the Zen position. When he wantonly exploited the people's fat and people's ointment, I also thought, as an emperor, this is too ugly. Now it seems that he actually sold all the tax grain for money, I am afraid that it is still to leave a way out for himself. ”
