Chapter Forty-Nine: Internal and External Troubles

Gu Guifei stood still, and saw that the little history was none other than Xiao Xizi, and immediately asked, "What are you rushing to catch up so much?" ”

"Mother, why are you here?" Xiao Xizi was also stunned, kowtowed, and said, "Your Majesty is looking for you everywhere, and you are waiting in your Huayang Palace now!" ”

"I'm going back!" Gu Guifei said, busily sat down, and rushed back to Huayang Palace.

"What is Your Majesty looking for a concubine to do at this time?" As soon as Gu Guifei rushed back to Huayang Palace, she saw Yang Xi sitting on the chair she usually sat on weekdays, busy smiling and saluting.

"Where have you been?" Yang Xi's face remained unswerving and asked.

"The concubine dropped a golden hairpin a few days ago, and she happened to be idle today, so go look for it!" Gu Guifei hurriedly explained, "The concubine thought that it was lost in His Majesty's Jingyang Palace, but she didn't find it. ”

"Do you suspect I'm a thief?" Obviously, Yang Xi was in a very bad mood early this morning.

"What's wrong with Your Majesty?" Gu Guifei was stunned, and only said after a while, "The concubine is just looking around!" ”

"See for yourself!" As Yang Xi spoke, he threw a piece of music at Gu Guifei's feet, and said angrily, "Can't you earn some anger for me?" ”

Gu Guifei was full of grievances, bent down to pick up the piece from the ground, opened it and took a look, but it was impeachment of her father for being arrogant and domineering, rampaging through Kyoto, seizing fertile land outside, disobeying the king's orders inside, and so on......

Needless to say, this kind of twist and turn is naturally the handiwork of that kind of official.

"I beg Your Majesty to see clearly, my father is wronged!" Gu Guifei was busy squatting down and saluting.

"Wronged?" Yang Xi sneered, "I'm not afraid of shadows, Gu Aiqing's personality, I naturally know it, it's just that your brother, what he has done recently, is really a bastard." ”

"What's wrong with the concubine brother?" Gu Guifei asked puzzled.

"Your brother Gu Kai, the prefect of Yangzhou who was appointed at the beginning of this spring, Yangzhou is the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, and now he has made the people miserable!" Yang Xi snorted, in such a rich place, and there are no natural and man-made disasters, he actually caused the homeless people to flee in all directions, and even had to sell their sons and daughters to make a living? Today he received the report and almost fainted.

This is not counting, the Jiangnan salt tax and the Jiangxi grain road are the key collection items of the national tax, but unexpectedly, the Jiangxi grain road is just there, there is nothing unusual, but the tax of the Jiangnan salt tax is less than in previous years. And Gu Zhen is even more scuffle, the border passes are frequently urgent, his 100,000 troops are stationed in the Qingzhou area, under the pretext that there is no military salary, he is stunned, and he wants to fight him?

Thinking of this, Yang Xi held back a wave of anger in his heart.

"Your Majesty, how did the concubine know about such a thing?" Gu Guifei wanted to distinguish a few words for her brother, but she didn't know where to start, so she could only laugh and say, "Besides, those words of the officials are exaggerated, and if you want to come to the concubine brother, it will not be so unbearable, and please let Your Majesty know it." ”

"I'll find out!" Yang Xi said, sneering, "Gu Aiqing is stationed in Qingzhou, and he frequently sends Tang newspapers, urging me to subsidize military salaries, but I want to pay military salaries, but where does this money come from?" I was expecting Qiu Fu to come up, but it turned out to-"

"What happened to Qiu Fu?" Gu Guifei asked.

"God knows!" Yang Xi said, turned around and left.

"Your Majesty, Your Majestyβ€”" Gu Guifei followed behind him and called twice, but Yang Xi didn't even look back.

"Where is Your Majesty going?" Zhang Derong watched Yang Xi sit on the jade bowl, and then asked with a smile.

Yang Xi closed his eyes and muttered for a moment, where to go? The border is in an emergency, but he has no money in his hand and can't pay his military salary, and Gu Zhen, that bastard, actually used the excuse of garrisoning Qingzhou and didn't move the army? What kind of wishful thinking Gu Dawang bastard, he naturally knows.

Thinking of this, Yang Xi was infinitely upset and sighed: "Go to the Qinghe Palace." ”

"Miss, Your Majesty is here!" Yuehe opened the curtain and reported to Chen Qingxuan at the same time.

"Your Majesty!" Chen Qingxuan could only get up and greet Yang Xi.

"Love the concubine and excuse me!" Yang Xi waved her hand, took advantage of the situation and sat down on the soft couch where Chen Qingxuan was sitting just now, flipped over the book she had just put aside, an ordinary poetry book, immediately put it aside, and sighed, "Concubine Ai is so idle." ”

Bamboo brought the tea and retreated.

Chen Qingxuan looked at him with a depressed face, sighed again, and immediately asked with a smile: "The concubine is naturally leisurely, and she is not as good as Your Majesty." ”

"Ai Concubine, this is ironic!" As he spoke, Yang Xi picked up the teacup, took a sip, frowned and asked, "Concubine Ai has something to ask for?" ”

Chen Qingxuan was stunned, looked at him puzzled, and asked for something, what do you mean?

"I want to discuss something with my concubine!" Yang Xi stared at her and said bluntly, "So, if the concubine asks for something, you might as well exchange it!" ”

"Your Majesty is not joking?" Chen Qingxuan asked with a tentative smile, "The whole world is owned by Your Majesty, what is Your Majesty going to discuss with your concubines?" Besides, what does a concubine know about a boudoir woman? ”

"This year's autumn Fu has not come up yet, the border is in an emergency, my treasury is empty, and I can't pay enough military salaries, Gu Zhen is a bastard, the garrison Qingzhou is not moving, urging me to ......" Yang Xi said in a low voice, "Concubine Ai should know ......"

"Such important military and political matters, the concubines don't know!" Chen Qingxuan shook her head, she was able to pretend to be confused, she was happy to pretend to be confused, "Besides, the Great Zhou Kingdom has been smooth in the past few years, how can the treasury be empty?" ”

Why is the treasury empty? The prince is dead, he is still playing such a hand when he is dying, God knows where the silver went?

The person who can empty the inner mansion overnight is definitely someone who knows the details, and it is a combination of inside and outside, but Yang Xi has never understood that he had ordered the city gate to be closed and searched at the first time, and so much silver could never be transported out of the city.

Because of this, the first emperor was so angry that he vomited blood, and died of a serious illness not long after, and although he ascended the throne as the emperor, he was connected to an empty shell, these messy governments outside, plus an empty treasury.

The point is - he is dumb and eats coptis, and he can't tell if he suffers. The treasury was stolen, and this should be spread, so how can he save his heavenly face? This is definitely a major event that is enough to shake the country's society.

This incident happened after Lu Zhan's death, and someone else should have done it...... Thinking of this, Yang Xi sighed, the first emperor didn't know why, so he was determined to kill Lu Zhan, and even did not hesitate to pay such a big price, now, the first emperor went like this, but what should he do?

Originally, the treasury was stolen, and it was not a big deal, the sages at the beginning of the founding of the country, created the Xuanji Mansion, which brought the most heyday moment to the Great Zhou Dynasty, as long as the Xuanji Mansion was in his hands, the wealth of the world could be called, but at present, the Xuanji Mansion did not obey the king's orders at all.
