Chapter Seventy-Five: Gao Shengtian's Explanation
Jian Fan directly handed over a large piece of white paper, on which many small words were written.
"Big brother, look at it, this kind of thing is now plastered all over the street!" Jian Fan said breathlessly.
A few people from the water pavilion came over together, and after seeing the content, they couldn't help but be angry.
"The light cavalry guard led the water pavilion, and openly beat civilians on the street, causing a martial arts to be abolished, and even took a random shot, destroying the pedestrian carriage, not only did not compensate, but also threatened and intimidated. Then his subordinates of the light cavalry guard stole 100,000 taels of merchants' silver tickets in Wanhualou, picking quarrels and provoking trouble, and when the light cavalry guard commander Shui Xie arrived, he not only connived at his subordinates to draw swords and hurt people, but also threatened the victim to destroy his full door. How can such an arrogant and domineering person, with no one in his eyes, and being on top of it, be the pillar of our country?"
"Fuck!" Yin Fei scolded after seeing it, and angrily tore this thing off!
Jian Fan said in a deep voice: "Big brother, now the people in the capital are talking about it, talking about the light cavalry guards, and the more it spreads, the more mysterious it becomes, what killing, more goods, and robbing the people's daughters have been spread, it seems that someone is secretly fanning the flames and stirring up public opinion." ”
Shui Xie smiled, such a move looks familiar, he once used this hand in Guansong Dao to the martial arts Wang Yunhai who chased and killed him, and as a result, he directly borrowed a knife to kill people, causing Wang Yunhai to be beheaded by Guansong Dao to show the public, and now, Yin Xiumei actually used the same move to deal with herself, Shui Xie actually felt a little funny.
After thinking for a while, Shui Xie said: "It seems that this Miss Yin Xiumei is really restless, she is all here for me, reversing black and white, making a fuss about nothing, this woman is really a good hand." ”
Wang Weidong also smiled: "A stupid woman who can't do her best, a woman like her and a man like me will always lose." ”
Shui Xie stood up and said, "It seems that I am going to meet the crown prince Gao Shengtian, I need to know what he thinks, otherwise, we will not find a suitable point of attack, the kind that kills with one blow." ”
"Well, I still have to go to the palace. We can't be so passive all the time. Tang Shance said: "You go, go and touch the prince's meaning, I believe that he will not tolerate such a strong and scheming woman to become his crown princess." ”
It's really a bit of a headache, but just returned from the battlefield, somehow provoked the Qingzhou Yin family, and was targeted by this behemoth, secretly always resorting to some unsightly little tricks, so that Shui Xie and others felt naturally unhappy, but these adventurous guys still felt a little excited, it seems that Tianjing's life will not be too boring!
For these young people, their lives have just begun. For the Water Pavilion, his excitement has only just begun.
Of course, not everyone can enter the palace, and some important ministers cannot see the emperor even if they report it. But the Water Pavilion is different, now he is quite prestigious, as long as he encounters someone who obstructs and asks, he directly shows the gold medal of "I am here in person", and he will go straight to the East Palace all the way unimpeded.
Of course, the water pavilion looked very angry, and the anger on his body was not concealed at all. Everyone who met him looked at this young killing god with trembling all over his body, and rushed to the palace with anger on his face.
Of course, a large part of Shui Pavilion's angry face was pretended, and he had to make a show and show that Yin Xiumei.
Shui Xie knew that now his appearance was estimated to have reached Yin Xiumei's ears.
Gao Shengtian was helping the Qing Emperor to review the folds, and at this time, he had already learned the news that the Water Pavilion was coming with anger, and he smiled bitterly for a while before he said: "You all leave, and after the Shui Commander comes to the East Palace, no one is allowed to disturb." ”
After a while, the figure of the water pavilion had already appeared in front of Gao Shengtian.
"Brother Xie, I haven't seen you for so many days, you are taller and thinner, cough cough. Gao Shengtian coughed twice with some disguise.
Seeing this, Shui Xie couldn't hold back his face anymore, smiled slightly, and said, "Prince, you know why I came, you have to give me an explanation!"
"I'm getting married. Gao Shengtian didn't answer the question of the water pavilion, but just said this.
"Why?" Shui Xie smiled bitterly and asked, "Could it be that you really like that eldest lady of the Yin family?"
"No way, this war has really emptied our treasury. Gao Shengtian said helplessly: "In the last years of the Great Chu, although Chu Tianxi can be regarded as a good emperor, but the treasury at that time has been defeated by his predecessor, and then during his tenure, he has repeatedly conscripted troops to resist the Yuangumu of Monro, and the taxes have to be doubled. ”
Therefore, after the father broke and established the Dagao Dynasty, he adopted a policy of recuperation and recuperation, and the people gradually recovered, but they did not expect that Monroe poured 500,000 troops to attack the Central Plains at this time, which was the largest foreign invasion in the history of Monroe. ”
Shui Xie nodded, and said: "This victory is a victory, if the goal is not achieved, it will also deplete the already small national treasury of Dagao, then if the army is revived in a few years, the Central Plains will be vulnerable." ”
Gao Shengtian smiled and said, "But it's okay, because you took the light cavalry guards to make a big fuss in the territory of Monro, which caused the opponent's vitality to be greatly damaged, even if you give Monroe fifty years, it will be difficult to recover to the current level." ”
"Moreover, we took the opportunity to secretly knock Emperor Munro. Gao Shengtian's smile was a little unfathomable.
"Could it be because he is also fighting against the eldest prince?" Shui Xie's eyes lit up.
"You're right, we're going to trade it for a million. "Gao Shengtian Dao.
Shui Xie thought for a moment and said, "Well, this price is just right, if it is too much, I'm afraid Emperor Mengluo won't be able to bear it, maybe he will give up this unsuccessful son." ”
"To be able to get such a result, it's all because of you, Brother Xie. Gao Shengtian said with a smile: "When all the armies on the Western Front are triumphant, my father will give the light cavalry guard a commendation, and you will also have an unexpected joy." ”
Shui Xie also smiled and said: "Prince, you know that I am not interested in official positions, you told me so much just now, is it because our treasury is really dry, and then you want to ask the Yin family for help?"
Gao Shengtian's face was also a little serious: "To some extent, the result is more serious than this. ”
"How?" Shui Xie frowned, and he faintly felt that something was wrong.
"The treasury is really out of money. Gao Shengtian said helplessly: "This war lasted eight months, and if it lasts for another two months, then it will be able to drag down the middle progenitives." Da Gao may also become the shortest-lived dynasty in history. In the war, military salaries, food, supplies, weapons and military supplies, etc., were simply a bottomless pit, and after the establishment of the Great Gao Dynasty, there was not much silver in the treasury at all. Even the military salary this time was issued from the Yin family!"
"Sent by the Yin family?" Shui Xie was finally shocked, "The Yin family actually has such financial resources!"
"What the hell is going on, what is the attitude of His Majesty the Qing Emperor?"
"Although His Majesty the Father Emperor is Shengming, but in the face of this situation of no money, he has not much to do, just at this time, the Yin family took the initiative to send it to the door, regardless of what the other party has to do, we can only solve the problem in front of us first, and take a step at a time. ”
Shui Xie faintly felt a hint of danger, but he couldn't explain it clearly for a while, and just asked: "Brother Shengtian, aren't you afraid of luring the wolf into the room, and this wolf is still the person next to the pillow!"
Gao Shengtian's face revealed a trace of solemnity, and said: "Born as a royal child, I have long had this kind of awareness, but I am just a second-rate wise woman, can I still be afraid of her?"
Shui Xie shook his head and said: "Second-rate wisdom is not terrible, I'm afraid that this person only has second-rate wisdom, but he thinks that he is extremely smart, and always plays some games that can only be played by first-class wisdom. ”
Gao Shengtian laughed and said, "You can be regarded as to the point, this is a classic." ”
"But then again, Brother Shengtian, this eldest lady of the Yin family is also a rare beauty, to be honest, are you tempted?"
Gao Shengtian patted Shui Xue's chest and shook his head with a wry smile.
"Brother Shengtian, can you tell me in detail about the ins and outs, what is going on?" Shui Xie and Gao Shengtian stood side by side in the hall, and there was no smile in their eyes.
Gao Shengtian pondered for a while and said: "When the soldiers went to Qinhe to fight, the imperial treasury had been exhausted, and the military salaries had become a problem. Faced with such a situation, his father used his connections before he ascended the throne to raise money and food everywhere to supplement the front line, but Rao was still far from enough. ”
"At this time, the Yin family in Qingzhou suddenly came to Tianjing and came to express their willingness to pay for the army, but there was only one condition, that is, to let Yin Xiumei, the eldest lady of the Yin family, marry me and become the crown princess. Gao Shengtian paused and said, "And the most important thing is that the Yin family directly took out five million taels of silver! This is simply life-saving money for today's imperial court!"
Shui Xue's eyes narrowed: "Five million taels spent money to buy a position as a crown princess, this Yin family is really generous." ”
"Of course, it is not surprising that the crown princess is determined to become the queen, and the business done by the Yin family is not a loss. ”
"To be honest, this is a condition that the royal family cannot refuse. We can only agree for the time being. "Gao Shengtian Dao.
Shui Xie slandered in his heart, five million taels, for a family, if he said to donate, he would donate, such a rich family was really too jealous of the royal family! I hope the Yin family will ...... Don't just think about making a one-shot deal. Although the Qing Emperor is a little constrained now, he is the kind of person who can never be provoked. Yin Xiumei, let's be smarter!
"Brother Shengtian, do you know why Yin Xiumei targeted me everywhere today, and even insulted the head of the light cavalry?"
Gao Shengtian pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know much about this matter. I've seen Yin Xiumei a few times, to be honest, she looks knowledgeable and generous, and my impression is really good. But today, she is unusual, and she has done these things, there must be some deep-seated reasons. Brother Xie, don't worry, with me here, I will naturally press her, this is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, how can she be allowed to behave indiscriminately?"
Shui Xie also smiled and said: "Brother Shengtian, with your words, I am relieved." ”
"Well, you go back first, I'll let you know when there's news. Gao Shengtian said with a smile.
"Okay, then it's going to be troublesome Brother Shengtian. The water pavilion saluted, then turned to leave.
Looking at the back of the water pavilion leaving, Gao Shengtian's eyes revealed a touch of complexity.
............
Shui Xue's steps were hurried, his brows furrowed, obviously very dissatisfied with his entry into the palace this time.
Now that Yin Xiumei must live in the palace, it is inconvenient for her to look for it, but Shui Xie still faintly feels that there is a trace of wrongness, she has no grievances with the other party, but the other party has been targeting herself, and she is despicable under the means, such a woman, if she becomes the crown princess, then she will be the queen of the mother world in the future!
Shui Xie let out cruel words in front of Yin Xiumei: You must not be the crown princess!
Now, the Water Pavilion is going to take some action for what he said! No matter who provokes the head of the light cavalry guard, the Water Pavilion will not let him have a good time!
Yin family, what kind of conspiracy and tricks do you have, just let the horse come!
There was a coldness in Shui Xie's eyes, and the heart-shaking aura emanated from his body without reservation, and the palace maids avoided it one after another.
............
"Zilong, I have encountered the Water Pavilion and provoked it, hoping to mess with his Dao heart and make his martial arts not progress. Or let them be distracted by worldly things and have no intention of cultivating. I'm in Tianjing, and I'm willing to take care of everything for you, and I just hope that you will succeed in getting up and bring me back as soon as possible. ”
Yin Xiumei was sitting upright at the desk at this time, blowing the ink that had not yet dried, and a trace of warmth flashed over her cold face. If the water pavilion is here, she will definitely rub her eyes, and this seemingly cold and ruthless woman will show such an expression!
Put the letterhead into the bamboo tube, tied it tightly to the pigeon's leg, and was about to release the pigeon, when suddenly a dark voice sounded behind him: "Miss, the patriarch once said that you are not allowed to communicate with the young master of the Xu family in the form of words, so as not to leave any handles, hehe, have you forgotten?"
Hearing this gloomy voice, a trace of undisguised disgust flashed across Yin Xiumei's face, and she said, "Big butler, there are many things that are private matters for me and Zilong, so you and your father don't have to interfere with them!"
"Miss, this is Tianjing, it is in the deep palace, the master is like a cloud, for the sake of safety, the old slave still can't allow you to communicate with the young master of the Xu family, if the letter falls into the hands of others, then the only way to wait for the family is to destroy. ”
Yin Xiumei turned her face, glared coldly at the elusive butler, and said, "Chief butler, did you stop the letters I wrote before?"
The big housekeeper looked quite old, thin, wrinkled with an old face like orange peel, and said with a smile: "The eldest lady arrived in Beijing for twenty-three days, and sent a total of fourteen letters, nine carrier pigeons, and five fast horses, all of which have been destroyed by the old slave, and now this one, hehe, is still ruined!"
Anyway, regardless of whether Yin Xiumei agreed or not, the old butler who was about to enter the coffin gently stretched out his thin fingers, and after a little space, the whole carrier pigeon was suddenly shrouded in flames! Before even screaming, the pigeon and the letterhead on his leg turned into charcoal!
Yin Xiumei's eyes lit up, obviously extremely dissatisfied, and said angrily: "Big butler, you were sent by your father to assist me, not to spy on me! Don't forget your identity! It's just an old slave of our Yin family!"
The big butler was not angry at all, and said with a smile: "Miss, the old slave is assisting you! There are some things that the young lady can't be ruthless, and the old slave may be able to save a lot of unnecessary things." ”
"Hmph!" Yin Xiumei was already furious, but she understood how her father trusted the old housekeeper in front of her, so she just snorted heavily, sat down at the desk, and said no more.
"Miss, you have to believe that the old slave is all for your own good!" said the old fellow with a smile.
"You can step down. Yin Xiumei said coldly, her charming eyes were full of coldness.
"Yes, the old slave obeys Miss's order. The old butler said slowly, and his figure shook three times in the corner of the room like a ghost, and then disappeared!
Yin Xiumei looked at the garden outside the window with a gloomy face, and didn't say a word for a long time.
............
Shui Xie walked slowly on the road, still thinking about the affairs of the Yin family, how can she make this Yin Xiumei not become the crown princess? This question seems so tricky! It seems that we are going to find an opportunity to search this woman's soul, and we must carefully search what is in this woman's mind!
No matter what the other party's motives are, the Yin family in Qingzhou has become a thorn in the side of the water pavilion.
The existence of a rich family in any country is definitely not a good thing for that country. I'm afraid that Emperor Qing wouldn't have thought that the Yin family would not make a move, and once they made a move, it would be so earth-shattering, I am afraid that its ambition is not small.
When I think of Yin Xiumei, Shui Xie feels a little funny, this woman always thinks that she is very wise, and uses some painless means to provoke herself, which can not see the effect, but also makes her get into trouble by herself, it is really stupid to make people speechless, is it that beautiful women are always brainless? No, seeing that Dabu Tianyi is much more beautiful than this Yin Xiumei, and people are also kind and smart, as well as Wan Junyao and Gao Shenghan, plus Zheng Xuanyan, which is not much stronger than the eldest lady in front of her.
is also a woman, why is the gap so big!
Shui Xie shook his head and smiled bitterly, suddenly at this moment, he began to feel a little sorry for Gao Shengtian, this prince is really not very easy to be!
