Chapter 104: King Yan enters the palace, and the empress is wooed
Summoning King Yan into the palace late at night is not good news, especially at this juncture.
Great Wei Kyoto, Liufu.
Many officials gathered in the Liufu for the treasure money.
Now, with the news coming, the scene instantly fell silent.
"Your Majesty summoned King Yan late at night, will this be the same as last time, dragging King Yan into the water?"
"Yes, at this juncture, what does it mean to summon King Yan? The Great Wei treasure banknote is something that we have been planning hard for a long time, if the fruit is picked by the Yang Party, then wouldn't we be busy in vain? ”
"It's not just a busy job, don't you know what the big Wei treasure banknote means? This matter is different, change rice to mulberry. ”
"Changing rice to mulberry is just a dispute between the government, and the Great Wei Bao banknote involves the interests of all of us."
"What's more important is that if it is robbed by the Yang Party, within three years, the Yang Party's power will inevitably become the first in the DPRK."
A few voices sounded, and their attitude was extremely resolute, because the Great Wei Bao Banknote did have a great impact on them.
"Don't worry."
At this moment, Liu Yanming's voice sounded, he sat on the Taishi chair, and after getting the news, he did not panic at all.
"What does the elder mean?"
Everyone was a little curious, after all, when King Yan entered the palace, if the empress handed over the right to issue the Great Wei treasure banknotes to King Yan, wouldn't it be troublesome for them?
"Your Majesty will not hand over the right to issue treasure banknotes to King Yan, even if it is, there is no need to worry."
"We have done enough work to ensure that even if the Yang Party robs the right to issue, the old man can guarantee that they will not be able to carry out this treasure banknote, and it will be in vain at that time."
Liu Yan was obviously very confident, after all, the matter of the Great Wei Bao Banknote, their household department had been preparing for 20 years.
How could it be that Yang Dang said that he could snatch it? Isn't that ridiculous?
"My lord, if we change rice to mulberry, we will lose all the games because we despise the enemy, this big Wei treasure banknote is so involved, we should be cautious."
An official spoke up and reminded the other party a little.
It's not anything else, it's mainly because I'm afraid of what happens, I just suffered this loss a few days ago, if I'm still arrogant, isn't this asking for hardship?
However, Liu Yanming shook his head.
"It's different."
"The mistake of changing rice to mulberry is that we laid out in advance, bought a large amount of fields, and were stuck in the quagmire and couldn't extricate ourselves."
"But Dawei Baoyuan, we have laid out in advance, but there is no investment, and now the eight major chambers of commerce of Dawei, the first three of which have negotiated terms with us."
"The other five, originally thought that they would have a good talk after it was confirmed, but now we only need to send someone to talk, and there will be no change in these five families."
"As long as the eight major chambers of commerce are firmly grasped by us, it is up to us to decide whether this treasure can be successfully promoted."
"When the Yang Party really snatched it, within two months, it will make them suffer."
Liu Yanming is extraordinarily confident.
The Great Wei treasure banknotes can bring huge benefits to the imperial court, which is something that everyone knows, but the most difficult trouble to solve is the major money bank chambers of commerce.
They had a large amount of silver bills on hand, and they almost monopolized the treasure money trade everywhere.
The Great Wei Bao banknote is intended to harvest the silver taels in the hands of the people, and the silver ticket is a large-scale transaction in various places, so the silver ticket business is basically done separately.
If these people are appeased, it is absolutely impossible for the Great Wei Bao Bank to succeed.
So the key point is not who the empress assists, but these chambers of commerce.
Liu Yanming is so confident, and the officials here don't have much to say, after all, Liu Yanming is the first assistant of the Great Wei.
seems to feel the emotions of everyone, and Liu Yanming also knows deeply that changing rice to mulberry has affected his status and authority.
So Liu Yanming relieved his breath and continued.
"However, the big Wei treasure banknote is very important, and it really needs to be seriously prepared."
"Lord Zhou, Lord Wu, the two of you go to contact the rest of the chambers of commerce, Your Majesty here, in a few days, the old man will personally ask Your Majesty to implement the Great Wei Bao Bank."
"That way, you won't be passive."
Liu Yanming spoke up, in fact, it is not a good thing to take the initiative to propose the Da Wei treasure banknote, which will put himself into passivity.
Their own request and the emperor's request for themselves are completely two different concepts, but unfortunately, these officials can't understand it at all, or rather, the matter of changing rice to mulberry makes them afraid.
Partisan battles are in themselves winners and losers, and one victory or defeat cannot determine everything, and it is not a crucial battle.
However, since the establishment of the Liu Party, there has been a regent of King Qin, which is particularly arrogant and domineering, especially after the empress ascended the throne, the Liu Party officials did not take the empress in their eyes at all.
Now that the rice has been changed to mulberry has failed, these officials have begun to think about the west, if it were not for the pressure of themselves and the king of Qin, they are afraid that something would have happened.
At the moment, the Great Wei Treasure Money still needs to use them, Liu Yanming didn't say anything, but when the Great Wei Treasure Money is over, he will beat these people well.
It's also time for a new batch of people to come up.
And at the same time.
Inside the Great Wei Palace.
King Yan was dressed in a python robe and came to the outside of the Heart Cultivation Palace, his expression was calm, but he was still a little curious in his heart, and he didn't understand why the empress summoned him to come.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is invited."
Chu Yunrou walked out and invited King Yan into the palace.
King Yan was silent, and walked directly into the Heart Cultivation Palace, and then saw the empress in front of the jade case, that is, his niece.
To be honest, he has always been optimistic about his niece, and he doesn't understand why his eldest brother passed the throne to her.
Although she is her own descendant, the question is, how can a woman be the lord of the Great Wei River?
But on the other hand, choosing the empress is also what he is happy to see, after all, if his eldest brother gives the throne to King Qin, that is, his second brother.
That would be even more troublesome, and it would be even more impossible for him to compete for the throne.
"Minister Jiang Yue, I have seen Your Majesty."
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
Although he despises his niece in his heart, he still has to be polite on the surface, especially for someone like him who wants to become an emperor.
Stick to the etiquette law even more, otherwise after you ascend the throne, this etiquette will be chaotic.
"Uncle Huang is exempt."
Jiang Ling got up from the front of the jade case and looked at the latter with a smile in his eyes.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
King Yan got up and immediately spoke directly: "Your Majesty, summoning ministers into the palace late at night, what is the so-called matter?" ”
King Yan was very direct, he wanted to know what he was doing when he was summoned for no reason, since he ascended the throne, he had never entered the palace, it was really strange.
"Uncle Huang, the imperial court urgently needs a large amount of silver taels, but the treasury is empty, I really have no way, I don't know if Uncle Huang has a way to solve it?"
The empress opened her mouth and explained the situation directly.
As soon as these words came out, King Yan was a little surprised in his heart, he knew better than anyone else about the matter of the Great Wei Baoban, after all, his biggest competitive enemy was King Qin.
So what King Qin wants to do, he can know clearly.
As for the Great Wei Treasure Banknote, King Yan has actually been in a state of indecision, and Yang Ning personally came to him, hoping that he could assist Yang Ning and win the right to issue the Great Wei Treasure Banknote.
But King Yan knew very well that most of the eight major chambers of commerce were people from King Qin, and if they couldn't control this group of people, it would be absolutely impossible to get the right to issue.
Otherwise, what if you get it? The people below are disobedient and will cause trouble for you, and when the time comes, the treasure money will not be able to be implemented, and you will have to cause a commotion.
It's just that King Yan also knows what the Great Wei Bao banknote means, if it is obtained by his second brother, his power will increase unprecedentedly.
When the time comes, it will not be good for you.
It's just that what I didn't expect was that the empress would take the initiative to ask herself this question.
He could understand the meaning of the words, but King Yan still spoke calmly: "Your Majesty, the treasury is empty, it is indeed troublesome, although the minister has the heart, but there is nothing he can do." ”
King Yan replied safely, it was not that he was unwilling to participate, but the current situation, unable to participate, and the most important thing was that he suspected that the empress was digging a pit and letting himself in.
Otherwise, the treasury is empty and asks yourself what to do? Why don't you ask King Qin? He's the regent.
As soon as these words came out, the empress was not surprised, and looked at the other party and said.
"Why is Uncle Wang like this, when my father told me on his deathbed, saying that Third Uncle, you are unparalleled in intelligence, if the court is in trouble, let me come to you, now that the treasury is empty, Uncle Wang really has no other way?"
The empress's words were very direct, and she almost didn't say the Da Wei treasure directly.
In the face of the empress's praise, King Yan was not fooled, and even the more so, the more King Yan felt that there was fraud in it.
"The minister has lived up to the expectations of the emperor, please forgive your majesty."
King Yan is very direct, anyway, no matter what the empress says, he doesn't want to take it, the current situation is not clear, whatever he agrees to at will, or what he says, will have a certain impact on himself.
Jiang Ling was a little silent when she heard this, she didn't expect King Yan to be so cautious.
It's just that Jiang Ling's intention is very clear, that is, to pull King Yan into the water, since the other party does not accept the offer, then make it clear.
If you don't want to, then there's no way.
"Uncle Wang, have you heard of the matter of the Great Wei Bao Banknote?"
Jiang Ling spoke, and this sentence made the latter silent slightly.
Sure enough, this was the case, King Yan looked at Jiang Ling, and he didn't expect Jiang Ling to say it directly, after all, today in the court, all the officials asked for money, and Jiang Ling didn't say a word about the big Wei treasure banknote.
I didn't expect to mention this matter to myself in private.
King Yan naturally understood that the empress wanted to cooperate with him, but what he couldn't figure out was, why should he find himself?
"I know partially, this is a policy proposed by the Ministry of Households, do you have any opinions?"
King Yan asked.
"I don't have any opinions, but I just think that the Great Wei treasure banknotes are very important, and I am afraid that someone will make a profit from them, so I want Uncle Wang to control the issuance of treasure banknotes, so I don't know if Uncle Wang is willing?"
The empress opened her mouth and said it clearly, and it was up to King Yan to accept it.
Sure enough, when the empress made it clear directly, King Yan became even more silent, did he really not expect that Jiang Ling intended to win him over? That's weird.
But it is impossible to say that there is not the slightest interest.
In the end, King Yan couldn't help but ask.
"Your Majesty, after all, the Great Wei treasure banknote was proposed by the Ministry of Households, even if these courtiers will do evil, why doesn't Your Majesty look for King Qin, with King Qin pressing, things are relatively simple."
"It's hard for a minister to be a regent after all."
King Yan opened his mouth and expressed his doubts, it is actually better and more convenient to find King Qin than to find himself, what is the point of winning himself over?
If he didn't make it clear, he wouldn't just do it.
"Although Uncle Wang can't regent at will, if this matter is opened by me, it will be justified if I think about it."
"As for why you didn't look for King Qin, I don't think Uncle Wang should know that someone reported to me that King Qin colluded with the Liu Party with the intention of corrupting the law on the Great Wei Bao banknotes."
"Now above the court, King Qin's voice is slightly louder than mine, and he speaks flatly, I can accept it, after all, I am still young, and there are many places where I need to learn from Uncle Wang."
"It's just that I don't want to see such a scene, and I don't want to see it, I don't know if Uncle Wang can understand the meaning of my words."
Now that the showdown is over, Jiang Ling simply made it clear.
When Jiang Ling's words came to this, King Yan could understand the meaning even if he was a fool.
The niece in front of him didn't want King Qin to be too strong, and would rather cooperate with him than want King Qin to become more and more powerful.
This reason is perfect, and King Yan does not question it at all, because in fact it is so.
The King of Qin was very powerful, and many officials of the Great Wei were his party, so if the Great Wei treasure was still controlled by him, he would earn a lot of silver from it.
It only takes three or five years for King Qin's power to reach its peak, and at that time, the person who was most worried about King Qin was either himself, or the empress in front of him.
If it is your own, you will be powerful and rich, and you will inevitably train a large number of soldiers.
It's just that, even so, King Yan doesn't want to enter the game for the time being, and only getting the support of the empress doesn't have much effect.
Because to put it mildly, the empress is not qualified to trade with him, and this kind of teammate can't bring much benefit to herself.
Why did he enter the game by changing rice to mulberry, to put it bluntly, he was sabotage, and if he could sabotage, he would sabotage, but Da Wei Baoqian was different, if he didn't enter the game, King Qin would share a little bit of himself.
It's just that you get very little, but if you fight, once you lose, you have nothing.
When he turned around, he had to be targeted by his second brother for liquidation.
There is no cost to changing rice to mulberry itself, and it is also going along with the situation, simply looking for trouble, rather than fighting on the surface.
To put it simply, if you go to fight with King Qin on the bright side, you will lose too much.
Seeing that King Yan had been silent, Jiang Ling spoke again.
"Since Uncle Wang has no intention of participating in political affairs, then forget it, after thinking about it, although Uncle Qin is powerful, he is for the good of Great Wei after all."
"I am also his niece, even if Uncle Qin is in power, it will definitely be for my good."
"Sometimes you can't listen to the words of the people below."
"Uncle Wang, go back and rest early, come here, spread the King of Qin into the palace."
Jiang Ling is very direct, although it seems that I begged you, but in fact it should be you begging me, you are just worried that I will dig a pit.
But to make it clear, who asks for whom, should know.
If King Qin takes power and ascends the throne, he will definitely kill me, and after killing me, how good can you King Yan be?
My brother and orphans have all been killed, and you are afraid of killing one more brother? A brother in a competitive relationship?
Sure enough, as soon as he said this, King Yan couldn't sit still.
"Your Majesty, wait a minute."
