0754 Within the power, there is no mercy
Since the New Year, the city of Shendu has been deeply troubled by various internal and external troubles. Neither the high-ranking officials nor the people of Fangqu were spared, which made the entire city feel a solemn atmosphere of a storm that was about to come and wind filled the building, making people feel uneasy.
But not everyone is worried about this. At least one person is not troubled by the outside world, and the personnel and affairs he manages have been improved qualitatively, that is, Princess Taiping.
Today, Princess Taiping did not stay in Shangyang Palace. She entered the opera house from Tianjie to the opera house in the west of Luoyang City. She summoned all the officials and gave instructions: "The opera house will stop doing everything recently. Now there are frequent troubles. The imperial military camp is open. It is really not appropriate to do any more entertainment."
After several years of operation, this opera house under Princess Taiping's name has long become a beautiful place in Duji. Various kinds of entertainment have made people linger. When it comes to prosperity, it is almost second only to Shendu Nan City. The income this opera house brings to Princess Taiping is also very amazing, even exceeding that of the vassal state.
Therefore, when he heard that His Highness the Princess decided to temporarily close the opera house for business, the retainers in charge were also surprised and couldn't help but advise: "Your Highness the Princess, the noble royal relative, the saint's sister, he is afraid of the disturbances of the humanity in Fangqu. At present, the opera house is engaged in thousands of livelihoods, and once the store is closed, the losses will be huge. Now, the materials in Dujiu are inflated, and once the livelihood of thousands of livelihoods is broken, it is also a big worry..."
"What do you want to do, do it immediately! What are the calculations of your own industry? Who should I explain it to?"
After hearing this, Princess Taiping snorted coldly with some displeasure, and after thinking for a while, she said again: "If you are really lonely and helpless, donate yourself to me, prepare a batch of materials to help them live. But if you just take advantage of the power to seek personal gain and drive them away directly, you don't have to pay attention."
When the retainers respectfully accepted the order, Princess Taiping said again: "This pavilion and courtyard house should be cleaned out as soon as possible and temporarily used for storage."
Although the human relationship in the Kinai was restless, it did not affect the business of the theater. On the contrary, due to the overall suppression of the situation in the Duini, many times needed more comfort. There were naturally other places for voice and sex in the huge capital of God, but when it comes to the backstage, who can compare with Princess Taiping? Therefore, some places of voice and sex have been closed one after another, making this place more prosperous, and its revenue is several times higher than in previous years. It is not enough to describe the daily money-making.
But as the situation becomes more and more serious, Princess Taiping has to worry about some influence. Even if she doesn't care about the attacks of the Censor of the Court, the place of voice and sex itself is complicated and easy to breed spirit. In such a sensitive time, Princess Taiping does not want to get involved in trouble because of some profit.
For example, some noble families who had previously robbed Lidefang's official warehouse, many people explained during the interrogation that they were planning and planning at Taiping Opera House. After learning about this situation from some prison officials, Princess Taiping felt at ease.
Of course, in addition to some considerations to avoid political risks, there is another more important factor that prompted Princess Taiping to make this decision, that is, Shendufei Money has a strong development momentum.
Last year, the new progress of Feiqian business was still in a state of insufficient income. Princess Taiping even had to temporarily borrow funds from various companies in the court as capital for account capital. However, with the invasion of the Turks, the wealthy and noble families of Shendu began to send a large amount of money to issue Feiqian. The consideration behind it was nothing more than lack of confidence in the court and wanted to use Feiqian to transfer property to Xijing.
After the New Year, although the Turks retreated, the momentum continued to increase, so that the money and goods were full, and Princess Taiping had to find a new storage location quickly.
Among them, there are many warehouse residences near Xintan, Lidefang, which is undoubtedly the best choice in terms of infrastructure construction.
However, Lidefang is close to Qinghuafang and is within the radiation range of the Nanya. Although Princess Taiping has a lot of personnel relations in the Nanya, the Nanya itself is complicated and no one dares to boast about being able to control it completely. There was even a vicious incident in which the nobles robbed the official warehouse not long ago, so there was a suspicion of the Nanya indulgence.
Under such circumstances, Princess Taiping naturally did not dare to take the risk of storing the stored goods in Lidefang. After thinking about it, only the opera house in Yueyan, the west of the city is the best choice. Although the revenue of the opera house is also good, compared with the huge amount of money, it can be described as a small profit for the fly head.
After explaining the relevant matters, Princess Taiping was still about to make careful arrangements. Suddenly, a palace official who stayed in Shangyang Palace hurriedly came and brought a shocking news: The Northern Ya suddenly added 500 troops to the Ganlu Hall where the Empress Dowager lived!
After learning the news, Princess Taiping's face changed suddenly. She no longer cared about patrolling the venue and immediately ordered Yijia to go to Da'ai.
In the Dawen Taoguang Garden, there is a depressing winter scene. Emperor Li Dan sat deep in a pavilion. The objects in the pavilion were simply furnished, with only a few plain screens dividing the inside and outside, and there was no curtain covering it, which made the wind blow from all sides, so that the pavilion was even colder than the outside.
Princess Taiping walked in under the guidance of the Zhongguan. Her eyes fell on Li Dan, whose face was already a little white with a cold face, and she asked, "What do you want to do?"
Li Dan glanced at Princess Taiping with a bad expression, pointed to the empty seat on one side and said, "Taiping and take it first. I have no ill intentions towards my mother, so you don't have to rush to hold you accountable."
Along the way, Princess Taiping had already thought of the emperor's sudden actions. After entering the table, she just sighed: "God's will is unpredictable, and I have learned something today. I dare not hold the saint accountable. But the saint has his own destiny. As long as I can do it, I will not refuse. However, my mother is old and has been isolated from the outside for a long time. It is useless to cause trouble, and it will only make people feel even more distant."
The emperor did not answer Princess Taiping in a direct manner, but looked around the slightly empty hall, and then said: "I also had such a hall in the old days. Whenever I was angry in the middle of winter, I sat alone in the middle of winter, and the wind came from all sides. I endured the cold and bitterness, but I just thought about what my relationship was with the world? In the past, it was the emperor or the imperial heir, and the words were respected. No matter what people and affairs were, I did not have, but the biting cold wind and the coldness of my body, treat me the most sincerely..."
"That old pavilion is still in the old pavilion. The old pavilion is deep, and I suddenly took my mother to take care of her. I thought that Taiping would not come deep, so I arranged a new work in this Taoguang Garden, and I would like to share my mood with you at that time."
When the emperor spoke this, his expression was quite remembrance: "When I sat alone in a single clothes, it was already deep in the night without realizing it. Now, the weather has changed, and Diao Qiu Jiapian still feels cold and miserable..."
"If my brother just wants to share with me the hard work of the past year, but the different circumstances of the past year, it is really hard for me to understand. All the hardships of life may not be pitiful. But if you have the ability to succeed, you just need to move forward bravely! What kind of sadness in the past year is useless to the current situation. If my brother has any orders, I might as well say bluntly. If I can do it, I will do my best. But if I can't do it, I can only let it go."
Princess Taiping's face was still gloomy, and her tone became even colder and harder: "My mother's old story should not be praised for being kind. Now the situation is different. Mother is living deep and waiting for death, and Brother, you are no longer the one who is helpless in the old year. I don't know if my brother wants to be considerate of this behavior, but I can only tell my brother one thing. Apart from this, it is not a child, my mother still relies on this world!"
Hearing Princess Taiping say this, Li Dan's face suddenly changed. He clenched his fists on his knees and silent for a long time. He raised his head again and said sadly: "I talked about this story with A Mei-chan. I am not to complain to you, but to tell you that people are in trouble in the world. Only by suffering from the sweet and bitterness of this body can I truly keep it. I feel that kind of feeling deeply. I am not a fierce person by nature, but I have room for decentness and I will never bear to hand over this biting cold and bitterness to my relatives. However, you also want to give me room to mediate!"
When Princess Taiping heard these words, her face froze and she no longer rushes to speak. She just frowned and stared at the brother who had become somewhat strange.
"Before, Zhuxun Sect received national favors, not only did not care about rewards, but instead made a fuss about the law. My emperor promised that in the eyes of Zhuliu, it was not as good as some materials. It can be seen that the power of the emperor's destiny has disappeared. At this point, it is just a matter of my thoughts, so I dare not blame others. But, sister, ask yourself, are you completely innocent in this matter?"
After hearing this, Princess Taiping's face turned pale again, her momentum was no longer as strong as the first one. She turned her face and said in a stern voice: "I originally introduced Wei Chengqing, but it was just..."
"Today, brothers and sisters meet each other, but they are open and honest. Now the situation in the capital is already as dangerous as it is, and I have no time to pursue the old crime. If I really want to pursue it, I and Amei are both frivolous and confused, and underestimate the sins of the world."
Speaking of this, Li Dan laughed at himself: "In recent years, he has been obsessed with disputes and has lost his original intentions when dealing with people and things. King Yong is indeed the humble man of the Zong family and is young and strong. If the Western Army had not had a great power, the evil things in the past might have occurred at the North Gate..."
"Brother, you..."
Li Dan looked at Princess Taiping with a shocked face and sighed again: "I have sent the Northern Yamen to add troops to Ganlu Hall, and there is no coercion to interfere with Amu Rongyang's idea. I am just worried that Duji will be out of control in the future and that my mother will not be able to protect her. This is already a little left to me. I am demented to raise disasters, and I can't bear to blame them all, but the upstarts often say that they will definitely cause disasters, but the Western Army can still restrain themselves and do not leave Tongguan. Instead, Duji will be in chaos first. Can't I tell who is helpful and who is a disaster?"
"Now that internal and external affairs are in trouble, the emperor's order is not good. I know that you still have profound negotiations with Xijing, so you dare to scare me. But now, the situation in Duji is no longer the direction of me or not. Once I go east, Duji will be in chaos. Previously, the people in Guanxi have driven eastward for their authority. Now they are gathering in Duji, so how can they resist without fear?"
When Princess Taiping heard this, she couldn't help but say in a stern voice: "At that time, my mother asked for the King of Lu to serve in Shaanxi, so she said that she was the one who set up a road for my brother and sister..."
"But my mother didn't expect that the Turks suddenly invaded the southern army, and a large number of imperial guards called Hedong. Now the Beiya... Alas, I just regret that I was shocked and afraid, it was too late. There was another big problem. I sued Ah Mei again. Previously, the troops of the Nanya army were escorted to the state, and the time was lost, and there were more than a thousand missing people!"
Li Dan moved his seat and approached Princess Taiping and whispered, while his eyes were fixed on Princess Taiping's face.
"So, is this happening?"
Princess Taiping's face suddenly changed, and even a layer of fine cold sweat emerged from her forehead that could be seen from the naked eye. The number of people in the southern yamen guards was missing, and the biggest possibility was that they had already gone to Shannan! Princess Taiping was confused and ignorant about this, so she was naturally extremely frightened.
Li Dan looked at Princess Taiping a few more times, then waved to the hall and shouted: "Bring the person up!"
After a sudden turn, a middle-aged official came to the hall and took a bruised eunuch into the hall. Princess Taiping was still digesting the amazing news that the emperor had just revealed to her, and looked down casually. Her face changed suddenly. She pointed at the eunuch and said in surprise: "This palace slave, this..."
"I was troubled by the evil things in Lidefang a few days ago. This slave told me that Duji was suffering from a shortage of money. He actually asked me to take it from Amei! Not to mention that the current affairs of the court are not only troubled by money, but just this slave used this evil plan to discord my brother and sister. It is obvious that he has ulterior motives! Now there is only one place where money and goods are gathered in Duji, and it is in your warehouse residence in Taiping..."
"This slave has such an evil plan, so he deserves to be killed!"
Princess Taiping felt awe-inspiring when she heard this, and her eyes became ferocious when she looked at the eunuch.
The emperor sighed again: "Ah Mei's plan for life, I have heard a little about it. I know that the money and goods gathered in this place are deeply involved and cannot be used easily. Even if this is the case, the people should not ask for their relatives' private families. What's more, if real money and food can be achieved, there will be more than one place where the capital is rich and the capital is full of storage? There are countless cemeteries in Beim, and the income from the Fuqiu can also make up for human affairs."
"The situation is really so critical? If you secretly order Shaanxi to send troops today..."
When Princess Taiping heard that the emperor had already had the idea of Beimian Mingcai, she couldn't help but feel even more panicked. Not to mention the Mingcai in Beimian Mountain, if the situation in the capital really collapsed in a moment, her family's wealth would probably become Mingcai in a blink of an eye.
"There are many ears and eyes between the two capitals. Once the Western Army moves, the capital will be in chaos!"
The emperor said with a firm tone: "Now the Western Army is a prestigious army to control the country. Because it does not move, all kinds of dangers are still dark and unrestrained..."
"There are no more heavenly soldiers and soldiers..."
Princess Taiping pondered for a moment and then said again.
"The new Hedong Sutra has been swept away, and the materials have been in urgent need. It is difficult for the heavenly soldiers to advance and retreat, not to mention the troubles of border troubles..."
The emperor sighed again and shook his head to indicate that it was not easy to recall the army of Heavenly Soldiers.
Hearing this, Princess Taiping felt a long silence. After a while, she said again: "Brother, I can borrow a batch of money and grain to temporarily suspend the situation in Duji. But you have to give me an imperial edict to summon King Yong to return to the court. I am not inclined to be cautious, but the current people in Duji are really moving to Xijing, which shows the people's desire. If the third brother really lurks into the court, my brother and sister will definitely become lambs, be weighed by others, and be held hostage..."
"I can give the imperial edict, but even if I have money and stuff to fill this desire, the feelings of the masses can only be comforted for a short time. If Shenzhi hesitates a little, he may miss the opportunity. After all, in the past few years, Shenzhi and I have been forced by the times and have a deep gap between us. Even if I have written it, he may not believe it. But if my mother issues the order, then..."
Li Dan said dejectedly: "The army of the court is stranded in Hedong. Only the Western Army can be determined to intimidate the court. Be careful when you return to the court, I should avoid my position and wait for him."
"Brother, you won't lie to me?"
After such a big plan, Princess Taiping could not help but hesitate and stared at her brother and asked in a deep voice.
"Apart from this measurement, do I have any other way? I am so in a state of danger that I only have my life. How dare I focus on my power?"
When Li Dan talked about this, he wrote a letter at his desk and recorded all the plans to summon King Yong to return to the court. He raised his hand to push Princess Taiping: "I am not sorry for this piece of words, but I don't follow the Secretariat. Why do I enforce the words? A piece of waste paper, because love is the most important thing, can I win faith and be cautious?"
Princess Taiping looked down at the emperor's handwritten writing, pondered for a moment, and then said, "If I only say it because of love, there is no need for my mother to say it, I will write for myself."
After hearing this, the emperor's eyes flashed and he nodded, "Okay, Taiping, please put away my book properly, and this will be proved later."
"It's not necessary. The daughter who surrendered should not be involved in housework. If you are lucky enough to survive this disaster, your uncle and nephew will have a dispute in the future. If I leave this book, it will become a way to die. Brother, do you think so?"
After hearing this, the emperor smiled embarrassedly, shook his head repeatedly and said, "Things will never end here."
When Princess Taiping left the palace, she followed her in the middle official of Da Nei. She did not return to Shangyang Palace, but returned to the princess's mansion in Shangshanfang. After entering the palace, she began to deal with the dispatch of wealth and goods, and transferred the wealth stored in several warehouses to the middle official who followed from Da Nei, and personally picked up a letter to King Yong.
When the letter was finished, the Zhongguan was impatient to take the case. Princess Taiping was not surprised by this action.
If she was shocked and confused by her brother's behavior at the beginning, then when the emperor proposed to ask the Empress Dowager to write a letter to Queen Yong, he knew that her brother was greedy for the wealth she had accumulated, it was unstoppable.
Recently, Princess Taiping has been busy with matters related to flying money. She really has no accurate judgment on whether the situation in Duji is as critical as the emperor said. But she knows that once the emperor uses generous means to encroach on the flying money storage and money, no matter what the situation in Duji, there will be riots.
"The money involved in flying money is huge, but I only issue a few warehouses of people and affairs. The sage is trapped in money, so I think it can alleviate the trouble. But if I force it, I will definitely sway it!"
Seeing that the Zhongguan carefully put away her handwritten letter, Princess Taiping reminded him again.
After hearing this, the middle-aged official was slightly surprised. After a moment, he leaned down on the ground and bowed to his feet and said, "Everyone has difficulties. I hope His Highness can understand. I will set up defenses in the residence later. They are all trusted soldiers of the Northern Office. I will never dare to harm His Highness!"
After saying that, the middle-aged official did not dare to stop anymore and hurriedly asked to leave the mansion. Then, a elite soldier from the Northern Yaya entered the yard and surrounded Princess Taiping's mansion.
When the Zhongguan returned to the revenge, the emperor returned to the Zhenguan Hall of Danei. When the Zhongguan reiterated what Princess Taiping said, a trace of guilt flashed in the emperor's eyes, but was soon replaced by anger: "Since she has seen through this plan, she still dares to follow the plan, and she is fearless. In her heart, she has already looked down on my brother..."
Putting aside all kinds of miscellaneous plans, now I have obtained a handwritten letter from Princess Taiping to collude with King Yong, which is more important to the emperor than the money involved in flying money.
Although the main purpose of the various difficulties he and Princess Taiping mentioned before was to attract this girl to the temple, it was not all false statements. The nobles robbed the official treasury and ignored the law and regulations, which was no longer simple money and supplies to resolve it. It is also a fact that the Nanya Army lacked personnel. Now the undercurrents are surging in the capital, and the situation is indeed extremely dangerous.
Previously, the emperor was worried that the army of Taiwan would go east, but now the army of Taiwan would have a taste of watching the fire from the other side of the river. Of course, the emperor did not want King Yong to come east, but he also needed to take advantage of the situation to go east to deter the court that was about to lose control.
Now that Princess Taiping colluded with King Yong, she should be able to shock a considerable number of Guanxi portals with deep grudges with Xingtai: Don’t think that the soldiers in Xingtai are not as strong as Tongguan, you will be safe. The power of King Yong is mixed and penetrates the personnel of Shendu. Only by carefully maintaining the situation in Shendu can everyone stay together to keep warm.
Of course, doing so undoubtedly intensifies the conflict between Xingtai and the court. King Yong may really send troops with anger, but the emperor is not without a plan.
"So quickly surrender the government and use Di Renjie as the pacification ambassador of Hedong Road. Without resigning, he will leave and go to Taiyuan today. He will transport a batch of stolen money from Taiping to Jinzhou for King Yu to reward the soldiers and return the army to the capital. After Renjie entered the state, the Turks' request for surrender was entrusted to him."
Perhaps there is really a desperate situation, and the will of heaven is in the face of great prosperity. Just when Li Dan was in trouble with internal and external affairs, he suddenly received a secret message from Hedong. The Turkic Mochu, who had just robbed Hedong and returned to the south of the desert, actually offered a letter to surrender!
Although the barbarians were cunning and could not be trusted, this news was no different from a life-saving straw for Li Dan, who was already in a hurry. Whether it was true or false, it could be negotiated. The 100,000 Tianjiandao army that stagnated in the Hedong prefectures gained strategic calmness, so Li Dan dared to risk the intensification of the contradictions with Xingtai to frame and seize Princess Taiping's accumulation of goods, and use it as military resources for the army to withdraw.
The news is still top secret. With the collusion between Princess Taiping and King Yong, the Chaoxiang will be shocked first, and use some of the wealth to stabilize the hearts of the sleepy people. When the King of Yu's army returns to Duji, the emperor will be able to take the initiative again.
