Chapter 868: The forces behind it
"To tell you the truth, I want to take advantage of Your Majesty's busy business and go south to Hejian Mansion."
Yang Chengying only needed to mention it, he believed that Cao Huachun understood the meaning of his words.
Sure enough, Cao Huachun understood: "Your Highness, just go, Your Majesty, our family has our own words to cover it for you." It's just that...... I wonder how long you'll be there?"
"The long is three or five days, and the short is one or two days."
"Okay. Our house will be counted as seven days, and after seven days, Your Majesty will see you."
"Thank you so much."
Yang Chengying got up and clenched his fists.
"Don't dare to be." Cao Huachun replied, took the box, put on his hat, and said goodbye and left.
Yang Chengying watched him go away.
After waiting for a while, Yang Chengying got up and went to Wanfu.
At this time, it was late at night, and Zhu Huixian didn't ask Yang Chengying why he came back so late, but just said one thing:
"Empress Yi'an sent Cao Huachun to summon me to the palace tomorrow, which is the emperor's idea. The purpose is to win you over through me."
"Oh, if the queen rewards you with money, accept them all. If difficulties are revealed, the proceeds of the estate are given to the queen."
Yang Chengying said, "As for other matters, you shirk this is a major matter of the country, and you need to ask me."
"Empress Yi'an asked about this, of course I have to answer like this."
Zhu Huixian thought for a while, and suddenly asked with a serious face, "General, you really don't give up if you don't overthrow the imperial court."
"Why did the princess say that?" Yang Chengying pretended to be stupid.
"Let's not talk about what you do on a daily basis, just say that the thieves and the thieves have fallen into the two cities, and you will personally supervise the dressing and training of the various armies, and take inventory of the warehouses with the ministers every day, all of which are in your eyes."
"I'm doing it just in case."
"I'm afraid that's not the case, Hong Chengchou, a dignified supervisor, actually entered Beijing with you. It means that you are already making all kinds of preparations, but the time has not yet come."
"The princess misunderstood."
"You and I have also been husband and wife for several years, you have always planned and then acted, and you will never make a move if you are not ready."
Yang Chengying was silent.
It's hard to say too clearly.
But his silence also confirmed what Zhu Huixian thought in his heart.
Zhu Huixian sat across from him and asked, "Why do you have to overthrow the imperial court? Can't you change it? Overthrowing a court means a mountain of bones.
The emperor is still good today, but the courtiers below have done things badly, and the emperor is not bad for you, so why can't you give him a chance?"
Speaking of which, Yang Chengying also had to tell the truth:
"I'm not very interested in anyone's world. But the forces behind this world must be eradicated."
"What do you mean by that?"
"I'll give you an example, a few years ago, His Majesty was shy in his pocket, suggesting that hundreds of officials donate money. Zhou Kui, the ruler of the country, donated 10,000 taels, of which 5,000 taels were given by Empress Zhou."
"I've heard a little about this."
"Then do you know that Zhou Kuiguang's cellar in Jingshi has as many as 700,000 taels of silver."
"This ...... So much!"
"It's not just him, but the ten thousand horses have as much as 560,000 taels of silver in their homes. The rest, such as Gongshun Hou Wu Weiying, etc., all have a lot of silver hidden."
It was Zhu Huixian's turn to be silent.
"Where does their money come from? It hasn't grown out of the land yet. Squeeze the Beijing camp, squeeze the local people, and use the money to invest in smuggling merchant ships."
Yang Chengying continued, "Then hide the silver you earn in the silver cellar, and don't show it easily. In that year, Huang Taiji invaded Beijing, and the emperor ordered the local people to clear the wilderness.
But when it was the turn of these magnates, in order to show their integrity, they all said that they had moved, but in fact, they were all hidden in the manor and served by Huang Taiji.
After I conquered Shenyang, all the silver I gave to the whole army came from here, so you can see how much silver I robbed back then."
"There's something wrong with them, but they can fix it. Send someone to clean them up, and the court has money." Zhu Huixian said.
"If that's the case, then the first one to change is the Zhu family." Yang Chengying said solemnly.
"What!"
"The slain King Fu and King Xiang, which one did not own tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in the cellar. It's really the Zhu family that falls, and the people are full."
"Hey! How did the country get to this point?"
"It's not your fault. In the final analysis, unless the emperor has the determination to kill himself, the situation will be irreversible."
Zhu Huixian heard this and sighed heavily.
After calming down for a while, she suddenly thought of a little and asked in surprise, "That ***, how did you transform it?" Their land has been confiscated by you for all sorts of reasons, and the former servants have become ordinary tenants."
"The vanquished have no status to speak of, I fought with *** for more than ten years, and finally wiped out their country."
Yang Chengying said: "Giving them status is just to calm the situation. And their living leader is good at advancing and retreating, otherwise the end will be just as miserable."
"Do you think the emperor will allow me to force the royal family and spit out all the land?"
After Yang Chengying finished speaking, he asked this sentence rhetorically.
Zhu Huixian shook her head: "No."
"Go to bed early, tomorrow you will enter the palace, and I will go to Hejian Mansion."
It was late at night, and Yang Chengying and Zhu Huixian rested.
The oil lamp was blown out, and the house was pitch black.
Yang Chengying's eyes widened, looking at the dark roof, and he couldn't sleep all night.
If you don't have a broom, the dust won't go away on its own.
Politically and economically, the feudal landlord class, which is linked by blood and based on patriarchy, is a cancer that blocks the blood vessels of the entire social development.
The Civil War in the beautiful country was the flow of funds from the southern plantation owners into the land and slaves, completely separated from the economic operation of the beautiful country, production, trade, and consumption were bound to Western Europe, and the demand for products, capital and raw materials in the northern industrial market was rejected.
Considering that the Westphalian system was established in 1648, and that the British empire of globalization would never set, and that the first partition of the world was in 1493, Yang Chengying felt that the speed should be faster.
But another, more rational voice told him that haste is not enough.
"Slower, steady."
Yang Chengying read silently in his heart and slowly fell asleep.
Zhu Huixian didn't fall asleep either, she turned her head to look at Yang Chengying, her heart was very complicated.
If you use the words of the past, Yang Cheng should be a standard "chaotic minister and thief".
This rebellious minister, without a trace of arrogance, is full of only the future of the world.
The future of the world is not the world of the Zhu family.
Go?
You can only take one step at a time.
The next morning, Yang Chengying said goodbye to the princess and went south with Hong Chengchou and Wan Hongzuo.
The guards protected them.
The princess entered the palace and met the widow of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Empress Zhang.
Hajian Province, which leads ten counties, is all south of Gyeonggi.
Along the Tongzhou Canal, arrive at Tianjin Wei.
Then go south from Tianjin Wei, it is the land of Hejian Province.
Shortly after their departure, the situation of the peasant army to the south changed abruptly.
