Chapter 663: threaten
Tang Yulan glared at Chu Nanzhi resentfully, and immediately hid the hatred in her eyes. She stepped forward to hold Chu Nanzhi with a smile, and said cordially:
"I've heard the names of my younger siblings for a long time, but I didn't have the chance to meet them. Today I saw my younger sister. It's really extraordinary. I'm afraid that no one in the world can compare to her extraordinary dragon and phoenix appearance. No wonder even Jinshu has to treat her well." My sister sees it differently."
Words that sound like compliments actually harbor evil intentions.
"Sister-in-law Wang's reputation is too high."
Chu Nanzhi smiled but didn't smile, and casually moved his hand out of her palm, which seemed to be a glimpse of how powerful this woman is.
He made countless enemies for himself without making a fuss.
Fortunately, Lin Jinshu didn't mind these things, and said with a smile: "Brother and sister-in-law don't need to be humble, but this princess thinks what Princess Qinghe said is very pertinent. Regardless of other things, let's talk about the matter that my brother and sister-in-law broke up a few months ago." The tax and bank case, let alone us women, I am afraid that the civil and military officials of the court, and even Brother Qinghe who presided over the trial may not be able to find out the truth."
Looking meaningfully at Lin Jinke, who was calm and composed, Lin Jinshu asked coldly, "Brother Wang, are you right?"
She still doesn't know who is behind the tax and silver case. She guessed that she might not be able to break away from King Qinghe, so she deliberately pointed the finger at him.
Lin Jinke didn't realize the deep meaning hidden in her words, but she didn't mind that Princess Shu belittled herself to elevate a rare beauty, so she agreed with a smile: "What sister Shu said is very true, and Brother Yu also thinks that the brothers and sisters are really quite For the sake of it, if it wasn't for the cleverness of the younger siblings, who noticed the tricks, Brother Yu still thinks that someone really robbed the tax money with demon methods."
"Okay, girl Nan Zhi has always been a pragmatic person, why should you compliment her here?"
How could Yin Enci fail to see the mischievous intentions of the couple, as soon as he entered the door, the room smelled of gunpowder, and said displeasedly: "Jin Ke, tell me why you and your wife came to the palace, you can see that Is your mother a queen?"
Lin Jinke and Tang Yulan have long been accustomed to their ancestor's dislike.
Tang Yulan first bowed and replied: "If we go back to our ancestors, we have just met the queen mother, who is worried about the health of the ancestors, and specially asked us and my wife to come and visit."
"yes?"
Yin Enci smiled lightly.
The wicked woman will care about her body?
"The Ai family's crippled body won't bother your mother, but your sister, Jin Ke, your mother has really raised a good daughter. She is not ashamed to speak out, and she will wipe her neck at every turn to threaten the governor of the state. It's just a military order. It's a child's play, desecrating the royal family's majesty."
Yin Enci's face turned sharply, and he said angrily: "If you didn't rely on the Dahe Empire's millions of cavalry to guard the Quartet, how could you have such a comfortable and happy life like this, and how could you have the bargaining chip to intrigue and scheme here? Now that the people are full of resentment, the Ai family wants to see how you end up?"
"Jinqian did mess up a bit this time, but she was also worried about the safety of her son-in-law, so she said such crazy words out of desperation."
Lin Jinke tried her best to defend her, but she saw that Yin Enci seemed unwilling to forgive her sister and brother-in-law, so she said directly:
"If you want to say that the disaster in Pingning Prefecture is not a big deal, in the final analysis, those unruly people think that King Pingning is too weak, so they dare to be so presumptuous. The grandson is not talented. As long as the ancestor gives an order, The 300,000 cavalry of my Qinghe land can take advantage of the trend and go south, helping King Pingning to level the entire south of the Yangtze River in an instant."
Hearing his insincere words, Yin Enci was so angry that he directly pushed the teacup in front of him to the ground:
"Are you going to suppress the rebellion? You are clearly going to seize power, but you are just refugees who have been driven to a dead end. Why do you need the 300,000 cavalry of the Qinghe Army? , let them have no way out, how dare they rise up at the risk of the whole family being punished?"
"Now that things are up to now, it won't help the old ancestors to mention this matter again. After all, the country of Dahe Empire relied on the support of the aristocratic family to achieve its prosperity today. We can't cross the river and tear down the bridge. Now we don't even have a few acres of land. would like to give them a gift.”
Lin Jinke retorted disapprovingly: "In my opinion, these rioters lived too comfortably and comfortably, and were instigated by those Baiyu people to dare to openly rebel. Now they should follow the example of King Pingning and kill others. The punishment of the Kaiyi ten clans has left Changning County without a single blade of grass within a hundred miles, so I don’t think anyone dares to oppose the imperial court.”
"The words of King Qinghe are really inappropriate."
Chu Nanzhi listened for a while, and finally fully understood why the ancestors and most of the courtiers were unwilling to support King Qinghe to take over Jingling City.
This guy moved out the Qinghe Army's 300,000 cavalry without moving, no doubt to threaten the Empress Dowager.
After comforting the frightened little treasures, she got up slowly and said:
"Food is the most important thing for the people. Even though the Dahe Empire relied on the stable status of the great families at the beginning, the merits that should be discussed have also been discussed, and those that should be rewarded should be rewarded. We can't just accommodate them blindly. In the end This world is still the world of the people of the world, leaving the people at the bottom, let me ask everyone here, you all have land and food, if these people at the bottom can't even solve the basic necessities of life, how can they cultivate the land for you, the court tax Where did it come from?"
"of course"
Tang Yulan pinched her chin and thought about it, but finally couldn't think of a reason to refute her.
"I grew up in the village since I was a child, and I know the importance of land to the people. It is their lifeblood. If everyone loses their land, even if King Qinghe has thousands of troops in his hands, he can kill the rebels in Changning County. refugees, can they still kill all the dissatisfied people in the world?"
Chu Nanzhi's eyes gradually darkened, and he said solemnly and solemnly: "This time, the poor man implemented the policy of equalizing land in Pingning Prefecture, exempting and reducing rent, although it hurt the interests of some people, it benefited the majority. The common people were able to wipe out the Yulong gang in just half a month, water can carry a boat, and it can capsize it, if the governor of the Tang Dynasty can understand this, he probably won't lose so many soldiers."
"Siblings really know how to shirk their responsibilities."
Tang Yulan rolled her eyes at her, shook her head in dissatisfaction, and said, "My princess sister's words are not rough, and it is true that some soldiers have been damaged, but this march and battle cannot guarantee victory in every battle."
"Yes, it is true that wars cannot be won in every battle, but if it weren't for the governor of the Tang Dynasty and Jin Qian who accepted bribes against their conscience, shielded corrupt officials and evil gentry, and helped the evil gentry, how could the people's grievances boil over."
Lin Jinshu glanced at Lin Jinke and Tang Yulan with cold eyes: "I think you two should go to Chengqian Palace first to see what is written in the mountains of impeachment papers for the governor. Not too late."
Tang Yulan's expression was reconciled, and Lin Jinke immediately realized that something was wrong, smiled at everyone with a stiff expression, cupped his hands slowly and generously, and pulled Tang Yulan to turn around and leave in a hurry.
