The emperor's determination was made quickly, and not only on the side of the Turkic mission, but also on the side of Zhao Yanshen and other courtiers, the hearts fell back into their stomachs.

Finally, the emperor did not do irrational things because he loved the princess. Originally, they were extremely worried that the emperor would not listen to the persuasion and fall into the Turkic mouth.

Originally, no matter how favored Princess Baoqing is, she is also a minister, and as a royal family, she should take on the responsibility of the royal family and protect the people.

Now there will be a series of measures in the national dynasty, and dozens of large and small prefectures and counties such as Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Youzhou, Yingzhou, and Pingzhou are reclaiming land and dividing land. At this time, it was already fighting with the puppet Zhou, and if the Turks were forced to the opposite side, then all these arrangements would come to naught.

At best, all the efforts made before will be in vain, and at worst, the prestige of the imperial court will be greatly lost, and the country will be in turmoil.

Nowadays, the whole court is discussing how to make this harmony ceremony look good, and the household department, Taichang Temple and the cabinet have joined forces on this matter to draft a dozen drafts, without exception, all of them are discussing how to make this scene beautiful and decent without spending much money.

So in the past few days, Wang Hong, the secretary of Taichang Temple, and the two attendants of the household department (the Ministry of Civil Affairs listened to the mouth, or called the household department) were arguing fiercely and debating endlessly, if it weren't for the emperor watching in front, they would have been able to fight in the court.

Taichang Temple chose one of the more than a dozen plans issued by the cabinet to barely get by, and asked the household department for money, but the household department was not happy.

The imperial court is using troops to the west, and both the north and the south are carrying out reclamation, as well as arranging mutual market matters, and spending money like flowing water. Even if some wealthy families spontaneously sent money and salaries to the imperial court, the imperial court was still overstretched.

There was a lot of pressure up and down the household department, Zheng Yu picked the account book every day and followed Gao Wei to cry poor, "Your Majesty, that group of soldiers still has a large piece of land and property that has not been taxed, why don't you send an edict to urge it...... Still dragging? If you drag the treasury any longer, you can really run a mouse! ”

The lack of money was so short that he put the idea on the head of the noble, and the degree of financial tension can be imagined.

"No, the household department has already collected taxes, even if the finances are still tight, we can't collect it a second time, now it's an eventful season, more things are better than less things......"

Gao Wei is also very embarrassed, he has already levied a wave of taxes on Xungui, although most of the output and income are automatically concealed by Xungui, but in extraordinary times, Gao Wei is not too tight, so he can only pinch his nose and admit it.

However, the queen heard that the court was nervous, so she wrote a letter in private and sent it back to her mother's house, so a few days later, Hu Lu's family pledged to donate 700,000 yuan to the court. The Hu Lu family has thousands of land, more than 10,000 servants and maids, and the Hu Lu family was originally the tribal chief of the Gaoche family, and they are very rich, so it can be said that Gao Wei's old father-in-law's family is a real big family.

With the Hu Lu family taking the lead, other nobles also expressed a little bit that the nobles participated, and those wealthy families who had sons and nephews in the court were not willing to be the queen? As a result, Zheng Yu received more than 1.6 million yuan, which temporarily alleviated the financial crisis.

Even so, Taichang Temple asked him for money, but he was not very happy, and after careful and repeated accounting of the account book, he reluctantly paid the money to Taichang Temple, which provoked Wang Hong to scold Zheng Yu for being an old man who picked the door when he saw people in the future.

Gao Wei has read the account book of the household department, and it is really carefully calculated to every copper plate. However, Taichang Temple has a lot of affairs, and it costs more than that. So Gao Wei could only cry and laugh and ordered someone to subsidize Taichang Temple from his own private treasury a little more, which was the problem.

This year, the money is like flowing water, and no amount of money is enough for Gao Wei's expenses, but the marriage of Taichang Temple must be done, and it has to be done with great momentum.

"If you want to deceive others, you have to deceive yourself......"

Spending that money is nothing compared to what they're going to do.

Seeing that the court of Qi was busy with the matter of harmony, the slightest doubt in Ashinaku's heart disappeared without a trace, and finally believed that Qi was really sincere and friendly with the Turks, and a big stone in his heart fell to the ground.

"It seems that it is necessary for us to cede some of our interests to the Qi Lord......" Ashina Kutou walked on the thriving Yecheng Street, and said to Qin Mi Zhisi with emotion.

Qin Mizhi Sili obviously didn't expect Ashina Kutou to suddenly have this kind of thought, "Why? ”

"We've seen a lot of it in the past few days, the little emperor of Qi is not mortal, look at the court of Qi country, there is a little decay?"

Ashinaku rubbed a jade pendant he had just bought in the palm of his hand behind his back, and the colored silk silk slid out from between his fingers and swayed.

“…… If Lord Qi is a dumb person, it doesn't matter if this is the same as kissing...... But now it seems that my brother is right, the little emperor of Qi does have a hand, and it is not ordinary......"

Ashinaku's eyes flashed with wolf-like cunning, but there was no sense of disobedience with his straightforward and irritable rough appearance, and it disappeared in a flash. Qin Mizhi Sili was shocked to realize that Ashina Kutou was also a quick-witted and deep-minded person, otherwise he would not have been designated as the next khan candidate by the wooden pole khan. If you don't understand him, you will be deceived by his arrogant and domineering appearance, how many men are like this in the Ashina family?

"I tried to provoke him repeatedly that day but failed, but then he gave me a trick to draw salary, which directly forced me to retreat, not only did I not take much advantage, but also took a daughter ......"

An indescribable smile appeared on Ashinaku's face, he looked a little hideous, and snorted, "But nothing, as long as this matter can be achieved, then it is not a big deal to take a daughter, not to mention, it is not a bad thing to conclude an alliance with the Qi State......"

"In recent years, Zhou Guo has become more and more disobedient...... I have to give them some color and look at it......" Ashina Kutou's words made Qin Mizhi Sili startled, and he couldn't keep up with Ashina Kutou's thinking.

"But, but the Zhou Kingdom is a marriage with our Turks...... Qin Mi Zhili hesitated for a moment and said carefully.

Ashinaku sneered disdainfully and said, "Marriage? What about marriages? From now on, our Turks and Qi are also in-laws, and the emperor's favorite sister of the Qi State is married to Da Luobian, isn't it more important than a useless daughter who is abandoned? ”

"What's more, Ah Song has been married to Zhou Guo for two years, I thought that with our support behind us, Yuwen Yong should be able to solve Yuwen Hu quickly, but now, Yu Wen Hu is still in control of the government, he doesn't even dare to fart, it's really useless!"

The daughter of the Muzhu Khan married the Zhou Emperor Yuwen Yong in the third year of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and although the Muzhu Khan knew that this son-in-law actually had no power at all, he still married his daughter to him for the sake of the alliance with the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

Ashina Kutou originally thought that with his niece and nephew behind him, Yuwen Hu would be jealous, and Yuwen Yong would be able to fight with Yuwen Hu a little harder. Although Yuwen Yong's strength is slightly inferior, and his control over the imperial court is not as good as Yuwen Hu, he is also the real heir of Yuwentai, and there is still a chance to win.

At that time, the niece and nephew will be the justifiable queen, and she can more or less fight for a little more benefit for the Turks. If you have a son and a half daughter, you will find a way to become the prince...... After that, the Northern Zhou was better controlled.

But Yuwen Yong's performance disappointed Ashina Kutou, but he only promised, Yuwen Hu said that what he was was what he was, and this kind of soft egg made Ashina Kutou look down on him. Yuwen Yong, Huangkou Xiaoer, even if he performed extraordinary in the early years, what kind of atmosphere can he become under the shadow of Yuwen Hu?

So from this point of view, it is inevitable that Yuwentai's vein will eventually be squeezed out by Yuwenhu's vein...... Well, there is no use for nieces and nephews......

In recent years, the Northern Zhou Dynasty continued to build military towns in northern Xinjiang, which made the Turks feel an unwelcome atmosphere

Marrying his daughter to the emperor of Qi was not his sudden idea, he had already planned that after pressing the Qi country to accept the Turkic conditions, he would propose to marry his most intelligent and beautiful daughter to the lord of Qi, and the idea was the same as marrying his niece to Yuwen Yong. At that time, the Turks were domineering and had the upper hand, and maybe they could make the Empress of the Middle Palace of Qi abdicate and make way for Xian.

Kill two birds with one stone.

It's just that now there is a little flaw in his plan, and the Emperor of Qi has not followed his idea at all, so that he has to go up the pole to ask for his daughter to marry him...... This...... It really made him depressed......

However, compared with the two, the negotiation of the mutual market is more important, and he can only hold it in his heart if he is angry. Anyway, as long as nothing goes wrong this time, my brother's throne will be his own sooner or later, and when he controls the Turks, then it doesn't matter if his daughter is not the queen.

With the Lord of Qi as a son-in-law, then the Turks have a relationship with Qi Zhou, even if one day the Zhou State and the Turks turn against each other, they can still let Qi Zhou fight each other, and the Turks will always be the one who sits firmly in the Diaoyutai.

"I heard that someone under our command has been deliberately making trouble in Yecheng in the past few days?"

Ashina Kutou looked at him coldly, which made Qin Mi Zhisili feel cold in his heart. He pondered for a while, and said, "It seems that there is a ...... about this, and the following horsemen ......" Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Ashinakutou.

"I don't want to hear that, which means, it's true, right?"

“…… Yes, yes......"

"That's good, send them to the officials in Yecheng and ask what to do with them...... "Ashinakutou said with a smile.

Qin Mizhisi was dumbfounded, "...... Yes? ”

"The Emperor of Qi put on this posture, and we naturally have to give some face, so that he can feel the importance that the Turks attach to the alliance with the Great Qi. According to the Central Plains, this is called ...... It's called ...... What do you vote for? ”

Qin Mi Zhisi Li added, "Repay the ...... with a peach"

"Yes, reciprocate." Ashinaku waved his head and was full of pride, "When the time comes, when the Qi State and the Turks become in-laws, completely open the mutual market, and have common interests, then this alliance will be unbreakable!" ”

He laughed heroically, and while showing a flattering and admiring expression, he secretly speculated in his heart, "I'm afraid it may not be, right? 】

However, Ashina Kutou is the next Great Khan, and when he talks about things, Qin Mi will not intervene, and if something goes wrong at that time, no one can blame him.
