Mingxi thought about it carefully, smiled and said, "That's what I said." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info you are doing business all over the city, and if you have a little calculation, you should know how much money you have, not to mention that there is only one place for you to get the goods. Since the money is not in your home, then you should start looking for it from you, and you should not use others to tell you so much. So...... You're just waiting for them to come to you, aren't you?"

Liu Quan said: "The third princess is really smart. At that time, I was really tired of being in Lidu, and I would have gone crazy for another day. Especially with the green nightmare in my body, the training day after day was all useless for me, how could I not be annoyed or bored, fortunately, it was not too late for Huang Ji to find me, and all this was obviously the person behind Tan Tou'er had already laid the ground. ”

Mingxi said: "Is the person behind Tan Tou'er the Marquis of Xing or the King of Song?"

Liu Quan shook his head slightly and said, "Neither." Or to put it another way, Tan Touer is both a minion and a leader. ”

"What?" Mingxi heard inexplicably, "That old man who is now drinking wine in Lidu is the head?"

Liu Quan showed a strange smile: "It's not really. But if you want to control such a huge force, it is naturally not a matter of one or two people, and only in this way can you be qualified to let the King of Song be in front of them for them to drive, these people don't even have the blood of the royal family. May I ask the third princess, do you ever know which signboard the Yuansheng is playing to the outside world now?"

Mingxi suddenly said, "Oh, no wonder I always feel that Tan Tou'er is very familiar, and I remember it after you reminded me." I always felt that the King of Song was behind the Yuansheng, and I never paid attention to what was going on on their faces...... The Tan family, they are also the old men in the gold shop. Why, do you mean this head is actually this whole family?"

Liu Quan said: "Exactly. The Tan family is distributed all over the world, there are people who are in the key positions such as Manghou, and there are people who are behind the scenes such as Tan Touer, and there should be people who should come to this Fengzhou City. These people have their own division of labor and cooperate with each other, like people's eyes, ears and siblings, integrated together, this whole family is like one person, can control the situation in the world, even ...... Start a war. ”

Mingxi groaned slightly, and then doubted between his eyebrows: "But I still don't understand...... What good will it do to these people if they start a war? Although they can use war to raise prices, to them this money is nothing more than a small profit. ”

Liu Quan said: "Although the third princess is smart, it's a pity that she is not a businessman in the end, so she can't figure out the truth." Of course, what they want is not petty profits, war is just a means, and the most important thing is that they can't let the imperial capital take real power, otherwise they are afraid that it will not be a matter of profit, but a loss of life. ”

Mingxi thought about it carefully, and secretly thought that according to what Liu Quan said, if these people want to start a war, it is extremely simple, but they don't choose it sooner or later, but at this time...... Naturally, I saw what non-war problems could not solve. Thinking of the various policies that her eldest brother had proposed to her father before, she suddenly realized and said, "I know." Are you saying that the eldest brother wants to re-enforce the tax on the whole day? But this tax has gone into the treasury, and it has nothing to do with them, and besides, the tax has always been strict with businessmen, and the eldest brother also wants to reduce some tax rates, which will only benefit them and do no harm, so why are these people in a hurry?"

Liu Quan waved his hand and said, "The third princess only knows one but doesn't know the other. The tax is indeed harsh on the merchants, but it is the lowest small merchants and hawkers, and it does not include these big families who have the power to reach the sky, on the contrary, their hands and feet have penetrated deep into the imperial court, and they have a thousand ties with the government...... I've heard Xing Hou vaguely mention it, and with my own inference, I can probably understand why they are so impatient...... The first emperor has always let these people go, but the eldest prince knew the stakes since he was a child, and put forward an initiative more than ten years ago to slowly reduce the rights of the family, but unfortunately the eldest prince at that time was too impulsive, and this article was spread, and immediately made him a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of these people. You look at the second prince is such a bastard, but he has always been able to get the support of several ministers of the imperial court to compete for the throne with the eldest prince over the years, how can there be no one behind him to support him? It's just that the second prince is really muddy and can't support the wall, and the king of Song is too deep to control, so it has been delayed until now. ”

He cleared his throat and continued: "The first emperor was quite strong a few years ago, and even the eldest prince himself never thought of rushing to the throne and become emperor. However, he is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and when he saw that there were people behind the second prince, he also secretly cultivated his own henchmen and strength. But how could those people see him growing stronger day by day, and on the one hand preparing to start a war, they sent people to assassinate the great prince. Oh, it's a pity that the eldest prince has capable people and righteous people around him, and the assassination has failed repeatedly, and finally forced the eldest prince to make a decision, poisoned the first emperor, and became the emperor first. He wanted to make a drastic sweep to clean up the government and the opposition, but he didn't expect that this ascension to the throne would give us a great opportunity...... Originally, the rebels did not have much name against the emperor, but he committed the great crime of 'killing his father', and this article alone was enough to block the mouths of the world. ”

Mingxi was secretly sad when he heard this, according to what Liu Quan said, the changes in this palace and the development of the course of the war were exactly the same. In this way, although the eldest brother has done a lot of wrong things, he is forced by the situation and is extremely helpless. It's no wonder that when he returned to the imperial capital from Xuelong Mountain, he was so unusual, although he had been in the camp step by step over the years, but there was also internal and external pressure, so that he felt helpless. Thinking of this, Mingxi sighed secretly, after all, she couldn't forgive him for killing the palace maid and calculating herself, but in the end, she felt a little more sympathy for him, and her heart felt a lot better - in any case, this person was the eldest brother she admired and relied on for more than ten years, and he was not so bad.

Liu Quan observed Mingxi's expression from the side, and said, "Third Princess, if you regret it at this time, and want to go back to the imperial capital to help him, I'm afraid it's too late." Once this Fengzhou city is broken, even if you are not there, the imperial capital will not be able to hold it, and even if you go back, he will not forgive you for betraying him like this. ”

Mingxi couldn't help but sigh lightly and said with a smile: "I thought that Emperor Liu was talking to me for the first time today, but it turned out that he still wanted to sow discord between me and Han Feng. You boast that you can play with the hearts of the whole world, but you don't know that the matter between me and my eldest brother is far from being as simple as not forgiving. I never thought of going back, since I decided to stand by Han Feng's side, I naturally had to stand to the end and never change it. ”
