Jian Feiyang has been in the palace for the past few days, listening to the deliberations of Emperor Hongxuan and his ministers in Wenyuan Pavilion.

But although the others are there, their minds have already flown elsewhere.

In his opinion, the matter of raising money is of course very complicated, and it is the reason why those civil officials say all kinds of big and small, and they beat around the bush. But it's simple, and it's simple.

The saint is the king of a country, and he wants to make others give some blood, isn't it easy?

After listening to He Ningxin's question, Jian Feiyang whispered, "It's still arguing." Who knows when they will have an idea? ”

But the sky waits for no one, and it can't be delayed any longer.

He Ningxin smiled and said, "Actually, the officials of the Great Qi Dynasty all have to keep oil." His Majesty's treasury is empty, but the inner treasury of the officials below is not empty. To put it mildly, as if it were a joke.

Jian Feiyang understood, tucked the corner of the quilt for He Ningxin, and said, "Sleep." Ming'er still has to go to court. ”

The next day, Jian Feiyang stepped on the point to go to the Heart Cultivation Hall again, and listened to Emperor Hongxuan and the ministers of Wenyuan Pavilion continue to discuss.

After the ministers of Wenyuan Pavilion left, Emperor Hongxuan saw Jian Feiyang's bored appearance, so he asked him what he had in mind.

Jian Feiyang said bluntly: "Your Majesty was unwilling to increase the endowment before, and he was even more lenient to the officials of Daqi, and Weichen knew that His Majesty wanted to hide the wealth from the people. - Now is the time for the court to use silver, and it is time to take some back from those people. ”

Emperor Hongxuan tilted his head and thought about it, couldn't help laughing, and said: "The ancestor must know what he said, 'Hide the wealth from the people, and you interpret it like this, and you don't know how to jump like thunder underground." ”

Jian Feiyang also laughed.

He is a military general, and he can't compare to the crooked bellies of civilian officials.

"No, you can't take this money from the common people. - You also know that I will never be endowed here, and the lives of the common people below are only barely living. If I add a little here, the people below can double the rise, and the life of the common people will be even more difficult. No, the idea didn't work. Emperor Hongxuan shook his head and looked down at the harvest of this year and the estimated tax money reported by the household.

King Anjun walked in quietly, saluted Emperor Hongxuan, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Feiyang may not say that it is going to raise taxes. ”

Emperor Hongxuan raised his head, greeted King Anjun, and turned around to ask Jian Feiyang, "What do you mean?" Did I misunderstand you? ”

Jian Feiyang slanted like King Anjun, and saw that he was staring at Emperor Hongxuan without squinting, as if he didn't see himself, he muttered a few words in his heart, and boldly said that when he was chatting with He Ningxin at home, He Ningxin had a bad idea: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Your Majesty has been generous and generous for so many years, and he has fattened up those officials under him. It's better for us to let King Anjun's Tiqi come forward and copy the homes of a few corrupt officials, probably. It's enough money to buy grain, and at the same time, you can also rectify the rule of officials by the way, and it won't hurt the people's heads, wouldn't it kill three birds with one stone? - Even the second prince killed a few corrupt officials in the southeast, but he didn't go to rectify the rule of officials, and he lacked confidence, but was countered by those officials. ”

These things are exactly what Emperor Hongxuan is pondering these days. It's just that he is embarrassed to discuss with his subordinates to calculate the property of his courtiers. - Even if the family property is dirty, but there is no evidence, it is always difficult to start. It is also impossible to see which official is the richest, so he will indiscriminately frame him.

Jian Feiyang's words happened to be on the heart of Emperor Hongxuan.

Emperor Hongxuan thought about it indifferently, his face involuntarily lit up, his eyes looked at King Anjun with bright eyes, and said, "King Anjun, what do you say about Feiyang's idea?" A picture of "If you dare to say it badly, I'll be done with you".

King Anjun's ability to slap horses is a little stronger than Jian Feiyang's, and when he heard this, he immediately praised it: "It's really a high opinion!" It's just that what we do can't be put on the table. Such a happy good thing, of course, must give the court a long face, and it will be led by the left inspector of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Yushi He Siping! ”

Kick the ball to Jane Feiyang's father-in-law.

Jian Feiyang's scalp was numb, and he couldn't help but glare at King Anjun.

Since He Siping came back from Jiangnan, he has been recuperating at home. Although Jian Feiyang knew that He Siping was not seriously ill, this kind of thing of raiding the house has always been the most offensive thing. He didn't want his father-in-law, whom he respected most, to do such a thankless task.

Jian Feiyang hurriedly said: "The Metropolitan Procuratorate supervises hundreds of officials, of course it is the duty to help you pick a few targets. However, if you really want to come to the door to get people, you have to count the family property, and it is impossible to come forward without Tiqi. Besides," Jian Feiyang looked at Emperor Hongxuan and said, "Your Majesty, you must know that wealth is moving.

Those officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and even the fans of the Shuntian Mansion and the Criminal Department, when they saw those huge amounts of wealth, they might not be able to bear it, and of course they were not as determined as the fans of Tiqi, and they never stretched out their hands when they didn't take anything for themselves. - Your Majesty wants to let most of the confiscated family wealth go into the treasury, so you can only let Ti ride out of the horse, so that you can rest assured. ”

A tall hat was worn by the king of Anjun and smiled, and he said continuously: "It's not that I praise my subordinates. Since the last rectification of our Tiqi, the order has been forbidden, and all of us are good at doing things first-class······"

"That's good. This matter was led by He Siping and came forward. Then Ti rode and went to those mansions to look for evidence. Emperor Hongxuan made a final decision, and looked at the two henchmen in front of him with a smile.

King Anjun suddenly realized that he had fallen into Jian Feiyang's trap, and glared at him hatefully: This kind of person who seems to be loyal and good, but in fact, Jiān is the most difficult to deal with! I don't know when I'm going to go around in circles······

Not to be outdone, Jian Feiyang raised his eyebrows at King Anjun: Put my father-in-law #>ah into the water, do you still want to be alone?!

Emperor Hongxuan ignored the appearance of the two people under his command who were "not in harmony with their faces and hearts", waved his hand, and said, "Go down." ——Someone, Xuanzuo Inspector Yu Shi He Siping entered the palace to meet him. ”

King Anjun and Jian Feiyang saluted separately and walked backwards out of the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Coming to the outside of the palace, Jian Feiyang got on his horse and walked with the king of Anjun.

The two came to the wide white stone road outside the palace, and they were silent for a while, and Jian Feiyang asked quietly: "Last time you went to the Marquis of Ningyuan Mansion in disguise, did you find anything?" "It is said that Ti rode to pretend to be a monk and followed the abbot of Dajue Temple to Ningyuan Marquis Mansion to do things.

King Anjun shook his head: "No." He was a little distressed: "Then Pei Shufen doesn't know where to hide." Our Tiqi can be regarded as laying a net of heaven and earth, but we can't catch her. Looking left and right, and seeing that the entourage was far behind, King Anjun said in a low voice: "Our people in the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion said that Pei Shufen still appeared in the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion in a trance. She was still in the city and didn't go far. ”

Jian Feiyang sighed and said, "Aunt Qi of the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion has already asked this Aunt Fen to really underestimate her. ”

King Anjun sneered: "The person who dares to play with our horses has never seen it!" - Wait and see! ”

While the two of them were talking, they had already come to the front of King Anjun's palace.

Jian Feiyang was about to say goodbye and leave, when a small servant came out of the Anjun Palace, hurriedly ran over, and whispered a few words to the Anjun King.

King Anjun's face changed from calm to stunned, and he laughed slowly, and said softly: "This kid, I thought he was pretending to be Sven all day long, and he was going to pretend to be old!" ”

Jian Yang knew that King Anjun was talking about his only son, so he smiled and left.

At this time, in the hall of the upper room of the inner courtyard of the Pei family, Pei Qianqian was wearing a one-piece dress embroidered with orange and yellow round satin embroidered with rich peonies, and a smock with a pine color halo green cicada wing yarn on the outside, sitting in the first position of the next head, with a smile on his face, and the color of the glamorous and elegant was three points more than the previous color.

The second prince sat opposite her, looking at her delicate little face, and couldn't take his eyes off it.

Wang Shizi of Anjun sat in the position next to Pei Qianqian, saw the appearance of the second prince, frowned, and said, "The second cousin came here today, do you have something important?" ”

The second prince moved his eyes to the prince of Anjun, who was sitting next to Pei Qianqian, sneered, and said, "This is not your home, do you want to be the master here?" ”

The corners of Anjun's Wang Shizi hooked the corners of his lips and said, "Of course this is not my home. But Qianqian is my wife who has not yet passed through the door, and it is reasonable for me to come and accompany her if she wants to see a foreigner. It is implied that the second prince made an appointment with Pei Qianqian alone, which is not etiquette.

The second prince has waited for so long, and he has something to say. But when he came to Pei's house, he hadn't sat down yet, and even Pei Qianqian hadn't come from his courtyard, and the prince of Anjun had already gotten the news from nowhere, so he rushed over in a hurry and sat with him here.

When Pei Qianqian walked halfway through, he heard that the prince of Anjun was also here, and he was also waiting in the hall. Pei Qianqian's originally frowning brows immediately relaxed, and his mood was much more relaxed.

The second prince took the liberty to come today, which made the people of the Pei family and Pei Qianqian very embarrassed. But he is the prince, he made it clear that he wanted to say a few words to Pei Qianqian, although the eldest lady of the Pei family, Shen, could accompany Pei Qianqian to meet the guests, but in the end she was a little embarrassed, and she was worried that it would spread to the Anjun palace and discredit Pei Qianqian.

Fortunately, the prince of Anjun came and relieved the siege of Shen and Pei Qianqian.

Shen immediately ordered someone to serve tea, leaving two maids and two mothers-in-law to wait in the hall, and went to the council by himself, only letting the two wait, saying that Pei Qianqian would come over in a while.

After Pei Qianqian came, the prince of Anjun sat beside her with a vigilant face, and the second prince couldn't say a word if he had a full stomach.

Pei Qianqian ordered someone to serve tea again, and also served a few plates of snacks, and slowly introduced to the second prince and the prince of Anjun: "This is mung bean paste matcha glutinous rice cake, which is a recipe left by General Song, I replaced the flour with glutinous rice flour, which is also delicious." ”

Wang Shizi of Anjun hurriedly tasted a piece and praised it repeatedly.

The second lady had to take a piece and eat it, and said with some bitterness: "Sticky teeth...... What children love to eat. ”

Pei Qianqian said with a smile: "Naturally, we are still children, so we love to eat glutinous rice cakes like this. His Royal Highness the Second Prince is an adult, so naturally he will not be as concerned as us children. "It was said that the second prince seemed to be seventy or eighty, choking on a mouthful of glutinous rice cakes in his chest, and he almost didn't get angry.

Wang Shizi of Anjun heard this, but it was as sweet as drinking honey, and said to Pei Qianqian's old man, "The second cousin is in the prime of life, he has just turned twenty years old, and he is not old. It's just more than us. When we are twenty years old, the second cousin will be almost thirty, and then we can be compared. He deliberately asked the second prince: "Second cousin, what gifts did you bring to your concubines when you came back from the southeast this time?" - I've heard that they have been planning to wait for you to come back, saying that you promised to bring them some fresh jewelry and clothing from the southeast. ”

The second prince was so angry that his face turned red, and he stood up and said, "Enough!" - Don't spew blood! ”

Wang Shizi of Anjun also made a straight face and stood up.

Princess Anjun is tall, although the prince of Anjun is only fifteen or sixteen years old now, he is almost as tall as the second prince, but he is thinner than him, and he is still a young man.

"Do you want to listen to which of your concubines speaks? When and where was it said? - If you don't believe me, you can go back and ask His Majesty's secret guard. The prince of Anjun continued to sprinkle salt on the wounds of the second prince.

The second prince now knows that the fēng'liú rhyme, who thought it was pity for the fragrance and cherished the jade, would become the biggest obstacle to his own beauty.

"Don't laugh at me. You're still young now, and when you're a few years older in the future, you'll be indispensable to these people in your room@. The second prince turned his back and sneered while peeking at Pei Qianqian's reaction. sell

The prince of Anjun laughed and said, "Second cousin, don't say that I won't remind you." People say, ' The nephew is more like an uncle.

You have an uncle who has many wives and concubines in Marquis Ningyuan, so it's no wonder you have many concubines. When you're my age, you've already taken your most painful ...... right now."

"Shut up!" The second prince listened to the more the prince of Anjun said, the more outrageous it became, and he couldn't help but interrupt his words.

Wang Shizi of Anjun also knew that he was speechless, and hurriedly glanced at Pei Qianqian, and saw her sitting there with a cup of tea, smelling the fragrance of tea carefully to the words of the two of them, as if they hadn't heard it.

"So I'm not going to be like you. My father didn't have a concubine, only my mother. And we have never had the rule of taking concubines in the Anjun Palace. It's hard for you to say, there are so many now, and if you become a relative in the future, you won't refuse to come yet? Wang Shizi of Anjun summed up, then Shi Shiran sat down, also took the teacup, followed Pei Qianqian's appearance, and smelled the tea carefully.

The second prince looked at the prince of Anjun, and then at Pei Qianqian's posture of the two people, and even the momentum revealed was a perfect match. —

The second prince pursed his lips, knowing that if he continued to entangle, he could only make himself even more faceless in front of Pei.

Forget it, they weren't all the way in the first place.

The second prince was completely disheartened, stood up and made a long bow to Pei Qianqian and the prince of Anjun, and said, "Farewell." As he spoke, he walked out of the upper room of the inner courtyard of the Pei family with fluttering sleeves.

Pei Qianqian raised his head, glanced at the back of the second prince, shook his head slightly, and breathed a sigh of relief, and asked the prince of Anjun, who was sitting beside him: "Why did you come suddenly?" But what's the matter? ”

The prince of Anjun has always been very polite. Every time I go to Pei's house, I will send a post in advance, asking to see the elders, and they generally have some small things, not like the second prince, come when you want to, and when you come, you have to pull Pei Qianqian to talk......

Wang Shizi of Anjun listened to Pei Qianqian's question, and did not tell him frankly for the first time, but tilted his head slightly, looked at the sky outside the house, blushed, and said a few times: "······ I just want to come and see you all of a sudden. It made Pei Qianqian blush.

The two whispered a few more words in the house, and the prince of Anjun got up to sue him, and when he left, he whispered to Pei Qianqian: "Look at the appearance of the second cousin, he won't come in the future." Don't worry, don't be afraid of him, he's not an unreasonable person, it's just that the lard is clouded with drunk...

Pei Qianqian burst out laughing and said angrily: "His Royal Highness the Second Prince is a king, how can you talk to him like this?" Be careful to let the Holy One know that he is unhappy. ”

Seeing that Pei Qianqian cared about him, Wang Shizi of Anjun smiled and arched his hand: "I'm leaving." ”

Pei Qianqian nodded: "I'll send you." And he sent him to the second gate.

The prince of Anjun didn't allow her to send it again, so he watched her turn around and go back to the inner courtyard, and then left Pei's house and returned to his own house.

King Anjun sat in the house of the prince of Anjun and waited for a long time until his son walked in with an excited face and humming a little song.

"Hmph, I'm so good at you, and I can sing little songs!" King Anjun snorted lightly and looked up at the prince of Anjun.

The prince of Anjun stumbled, saw the king of Anjun sitting in his room, and said with a smile: "Daddy is here?" What about the mother? ”

Anjun Wang Mu said with a wooden face: "Your mother wants to eat sea bass soup." - Would you like to have a bowl too? ”

The prince of Anjun was a little embarrassed, walked to the side of King Anjun, and said, "Dad knows everything?" ”

"Of course I do." King Anjun stood up and pointed his finger at his son's forehead, "You're really out of luck!" I also secretly use my horseman to help you keep an eye on your rival! ”

The prince of Anjun did not pay attention to the fact that this matter was known to the king of Anjun, pursed his lips, and said: "Dad said that Tiqi will be in my charge in the future, and I should let them do something for me now!" ”

"Yo? Will you talk back?! King Anjun was a little angry, "You call it a public weapon for private use, do you know?!" - What does Tiqi do? How can it be such a child's play?! ”

The prince of Anjun tied his hands, looked at his nose, and stood on the side with his nose and heart, and waited for King Anjun to finish speaking, before he said intentionally or unintentionally: "Dad is right." However, the son wants to ask his mother what is meant by 'public and private use, ······" He glanced at King Anjun from under his nose.

Anjun Wang Junyi's face suddenly became a little uncomfortable, coughed twice, and said, "Ah, that's what I said." You don't have to do that in the future. By the way, you're so old #keto familiar with Tiqi, I have a matter here, you went and transferred someone to do it. "Quietly lying on the topic.

Wang Shizi of Anjun knew that his father had also chased his mother for him with a ride back then, and now he was gagged by himself, so he had to talk about him left and right, and he was secretly funny in his heart, but he still kept his mouth shut and stopped mentioning his father's troubles back then.

"Daddy, please tell me something. Now that his son is older, it is time to share his father's worries. The prince of Anjun made a respectful appearance.

King Anjun nodded, called the prince of Anjun over, and whispered something in his ear.

Wang Shizi of Anjun pouted while listening, and said, "Let me do this kind of thing without a beginning or an end." When the time comes, if you can't copy anything, you will put the blame on me, saying that I am a child, ignorant and ignorant, and have done the wrong thing, and copied the wrong home, right? ”

King Anjun couldn't help laughing, raised his hand and patted the back of his son's head, and said, "Good, so smart!" ”

It was arranged for Wang Shizi of Anjun to take the lead and go to copy the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion.

This time, the Holy Lord and the King of Anjun asked He Siping to come forward, and it took a lot of effort to find the obvious fault of the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion. Old Fish

I don't know if Pei Shufan was too powerful back then to clean up everything left by the old Marquis Ning Yuan, or the people that Chu Hua brought back from the southwest were able to sort out those accounts clearly, so that the saint couldn't catch the corruption of the Marquis Ningyuan's mansion.

However, the recent expenses of the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion, they can also see it clearly, and it is definitely not supported by the industry on the surface of the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion and the wealth of the Marquis of Ningyuan. - There must be something in this that they don't know.

At the moment, they have little other way to find evidence than to raid their homes on the grounds of corruption. Besides, there is also a dragon Pei Shufen who has no end in sight······

And the cleaner the account of the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion, the more restless Emperor Hongxuan became. ——I was worried that the old Marquis Ning Yuan really left someone capable for Chu Huajin, and he could do it so well, and even concealed the secret agents that King Anjun had placed in the Marquis of Ning Yuan's mansion.

By this time, it was no longer the Marquis of Ningyuan Mansion and Chu Huajin who were in danger, but the people who stood behind him who did not show up, and the resources they had in their hands.

Emperor Hongxuan fully understands that a capable person, whether a man or a woman, can do earth-shattering things. — He never dared to underestimate these people.

Therefore, the king of Anjun proposed to let his son, the prince of Anjun, come to the field and take Tiqi to the mansion of the Marquis of Ningyuan. If the evidence can be copied, the entire Ningyuan Marquis Mansion will be imprisoned - naturally it is foolproof. But if the evidence can't be copied, then the prince of Anjun will be asked to forget it, and he will say that he was derelict in his duties and copied the wrong house.

As for planting false accusations when raiding the house, Emperor Hongxuan and King Anjun didn't think about it, but when they thought of the extra people in the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion now, they still didn't dare to act rashly, for fear of being beaten up by others, which would affect the effect of their current anti-corruption. Let the prince of Anjun go to fight a small lot, and deter those behind him.

Emperor Hongxuan was very moved by the behavior of King Anjun, so he responded to him and would definitely compensate the prince of Anjun.

King Anjun smiled and refused the kindness of the saint, and said that they didn't need to have a good reputation as tiqi. In this way, Emperor Hongxuan was appeased.

Of course, Emperor Hongxuan was even more sorry for King Anjun, and when he went back, he drafted a decree, first pointed out a marriage to the second prince, and gave Pei Qianqian more fiefs, and asked the imperial concubine to prepare some makeup, and ordered Princess Hexi to send Pei Qianqian in person.

Princess Hexi was originally friendly with Pei Qianqian, but later because of the matter of the second prince, the two were quite embarrassed. Now Pei Qianqian is married to the prince of Anjun, and Princess Hexi is still a relative, and the second prince has also left his hand, and his father has made a marriage to the second prince, Princess Hexi gave up her previous suspicions, brought the makeup given by the palace, came to Pei's house, and talked to Pei Qianqian for a day. The two reconciled as before.

Emperor Hongxuan and King Anjun's side, after everything was arranged. Inspector Zuo Yu Cui He Siping picked a few of the most greedy and bribe-taking nobles and civil servants who had several lives on their hands, dàn'hé They were corrupt and bent the law, and also threw out evidence.

Although Emperor Hongxuan had long known that these people were inappropriate, but at this time, when he saw the evidence, it was even worse than he knew before, so naturally Long Yan was furious, and immediately sent someone to lock them up and hand them over to Dali Temple for consideration. He also ordered Tiqi to raid these mansions and turn over the stolen money and property to the state treasury.

The nobles who were dàn'hé were all deprived of their knighthood and condemned. The men, women, and young masters in the house were all imprisoned. And those subordinates, who were slaves, were resold by the official teeth.

The civil officials who were dàn'hé were also cut down from their posts and sent to prison. The man in the family was exiled to the army. The women of the family were sold into slavery.

With this disposition, the common people who were hurt by these nobles and civil servants naturally celebrated with their crowns and shouted "Holy Wisdom".

And those who have unclean hands when they see this scene, they are naturally panicked, for fear of finding out their heads, and they secretly go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to return the stolen money for a while.

On this day, the prince of Anjun also came to Ningyuan Hou Ding with a group of officials, and arrogantly said that he wanted to raid his house.

The people in Ning Yuanhou's mansion were startled. A few days ago, among the nobles of dàn'hé, there is no Ningyuan Marquis Mansion? Am you mistaken?

Wang Shizi of Anjun didn't listen to persuasion at all, and took the fan of Tiqi to control the gates of Ningyuan's Marquis Mansion, and personally led people to copy one courtyard after another.

Ningyuan Hou Chuhua was talking to Pei Shufen in his study, and when he heard someone outside the study report in a hurry, saying that Tiqi had come to raid the house, he was startled, opened the door and looked, just in time to see the prince of Anjun Wang Shizi coming to his courtyard with people menacingly.

Chu Huajin hurriedly closed the door, rushed into the compartment inside, and took out some important things, including the box containing the jade seal, the roster, and the deed paper of various industries, and the silver ticket of the silver building, all of which were put into Pei Shufen's arms, and said, "Hurry up and take it away and hide it!" ”

Pei Shufen wanted to ask again, but the sound of the door knocking outside had already been remembered, and Pei Shufen immediately flashed into the Langjing Cave.

Chu Huajin blinked, and saw Pei Shufen disappear on the spot, and the door of his outer study was also knocked open, and the prince of Anjun broke in with the fan of Tiqi.

Chu Hua calmed down and stood aside to watch them dig three feet into the ground.

Pei Shufen returned to Langjin Cave Heaven and read all the things that Chu Huajin gave her, and the more she looked at it, the more excited she became.

No wonder Liu Menghan is so arrogant and has so many people in his hands. - If you have these industries, you can be rich and rival the country, and you can also turn the clouds and rain yourself!

Putting these things down, Pei Shufen came to the first floor and bowed to the three sticks of incense.

When he looked down and looked up, Pei Shufen caught a glimpse of the dead branches inserted in the blue and white porcelain flower bottle on the right side of the incense burner, which were just clusters of green shoots a few days ago, but now they are about to grow thin branches and green leaves.

Pei Shufen frowned and thought about it, took out the dead branch, took it to the open space outside the small building and planted it, and poured it with the little water left in the crystal tray.
