Chapter 950: Aftermath
In the Yanwang Mansion, Yuchen heard the Lu family's request to see him, frowned and said, "Let's just say that I am not feeling well and it is not suitable to meet guests." "I also know that her younger brother and sister are here for the people of the Lu family. But what Lu Lin committed was too big, and she didn't dare to touch it.
After the maid went out, Yuchen said to Gui Mama: "Jinzhou has fallen, and the mountain city is estimated to be unable to be saved." Yunqing and Yuxi have now occupied nearly half of the country, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that the capital will be in danger. ”
Mama Gui shook her head and said: "Niangniang doesn't have to worry too much, there are 200,000 troops in the capital to guard, and there are more than 600,000 troops in Liaodong, even if the Northwest Army comes, don't worry." ”
Yuchen shook his head and said: "Five years ago, Yunqing raised an army to rebel, and many ministers in the DPRK and China said that they were not worried, but it only took more than two months for Yunqing to occupy the northwest. It's only been a long time, and it occupies half of the country. "Half of the country is a bit exaggerated, but it only accounts for one-third of the world.
Gui Mama said: "The reason why they can develop so smoothly is also because they are lucky not to meet a strong opponent. "Mama Gui means that Yan Wushuang is a very powerful opponent, and Yun Qing and Yan Wushuang may not be able to take advantage of each other.
Yuchen smiled bitterly and said, "I know the prince's ability, but others may not. When the time comes, Yunqing will knock Jiangnan down again, and then we will fall into the disadvantage. "If Jiangnan also falls into the hands of Yunqing, then Yunqing will want money, money, grain, and grain, and the war will be fought with silver money and grain and grass.
Mama Gui was silent and said, "Niangniang, this matter is not something we can control. "Every time Yuchen talks about Yuxi, she is not in a good mood, so Mama Gui tries to avoid mentioning Yuxi now.
Yuchen sighed and said, "It's a pity that I don't have the ability of Yuxi, otherwise I wouldn't be able to do anything else except worry when I face these things." ”
Mama Gui said: "The fourth aunt and grandmother are powerful, but this woman is too powerful, which may not be a good thing." In the future, the husband and wife will separate, and they may end up making wedding clothes for others. "Mama Gui is very sure that Yunqing and Yuxi, a couple, will be centrifugal in the future. There are a few men who can stand their own women being so powerful.
Yuchen smiled bitterly and said, "Mama, Yunqing can have the current achievements, and Yuxi accounts for half of the credit." With this alone, Yuxi's position is as solid as a rock. Moreover, do you think that with Yuxi's scheming methods, those Yingying Yanyan can shake her position?" "In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and trickery are useless.
Of course, if Yuxi didn't have a son, then what she did now might be a wedding dress for her. It's a pity that Yuxi has four sons by her side, and the foundation laid by Yunqing can only be inherited by her son in the future. Even if Yunqing changes his mind in the future, this will not change. Unless Yuxi is absent due to an accident, it is still possible. Now she has been trying her best to please Yan Wushuang, because the qiē she has today was given by Yan Wushuang. Once Yan Wushuang is disgusted with her, all the qiē she has will be in vain. But Yuxi is not, what she has now is earned by her own efforts. So no matter what happens, no one can take away what she has, not even Yunqing.
Mama Gui has been by Yuchen's side for so many years, how can she not know what Yuchen is thinking: "Niangniang, you don't have to worry if you just see that the prince loves the county lord so much." "Not long ago, a concubine added a daughter to Yan Wushuang, but Yan Wushuang had a mediocre attitude and still only loved Bao.
Yuchen was a little melancholy, people are more expensive than their mothers, but she is here upside down, and her mothers are more expensive than their daughters.
"Wow......" Hearing her daughter's cry, Yuchen couldn't care about the melancholy anymore and hurried into the house. Po has a big temper and cries every time he gets up. At this time, Yuchen has to coax it, and the nurse can't coax it.
Regarding Yunqing's capture of Jinzhou, Tie Kui is happy to see it happen. For Tie Kui, the bigger the forces of Yunqing and Yuxi, the better, so that the higher the possibility of winning the world in the future. When Yuxi and Yunqing arrive in the capital, he can also recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors.
Zhong Shantong lowered his voice and said, "Kuizi, now there are only mountain cities left in Shudi. However, the mountain city is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is Zhou Jinpeng's lair, so I am afraid it is not so easy to break. ”
Tiekui smiled and said, "It's not something we should worry about. "This matter should be for Yunqing to worry about.
Zhong Shantong said with some emotion: "The Northwest Army really lives up to its reputation, and it has captured four provinces in more than four months. "This can be described as speed.
Tie Kui shook his head and said: "To achieve such results, first, the Northwest Army is good at fighting; second, they are very well prepared in the early stage; and third, the Shanxi and Henan governments have lost the support of the people because they have not given disaster relief. The integration of the three can make the war so smooth. ”
Zhong Shantong said with a smile: "Hubei and Shu were not severely affected by disasters last year, but the Northwest Army is also overwhelming. ”
Tie Kui looked at Zhong Shantong and said: "The drought in Hubei and Shu last year was not strict, but the taxes of the government were very heavy. In the northwest, only 40 percent of the agricultural tax was levied, and then there was one month of forced labor, while the people of Hubei and Shu had to pay 60 percent of the agricultural tax and heavy forced labor, and there were other miscellaneous taxes. ”
Zhong Shantong was silent and said: "Kuizi, there are millions of soldiers and horses in the northwest now, how can you afford the huge military expenditure with such a low tax?"
Tie Kui couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and said: "The northwest officials ruled Qingming, and all the taxes collected went into the treasury of the government. Unlike Hubei and other places, most of the taxes collected go into the pockets of corrupt officials. "Although the tax rate is relatively low, as long as it is properly arranged, it can still cover all expenses. In addition, there are gold and silver mines in the northwest.
Hearing this, Zhong Shantong said: "Kuizi, these decrees were all formulated by Princess Pingxi. You say, how does she know so much?"
Tie Kui said with a smile: "It's not that Yuxi knows a lot, but she knows people well, and she can learn with an open mind." "This has the most basic qualities of a superior person.
Zhong Shantong couldn't help but say: "As far as Han Jingyan's cowardice is concerned, he can give birth to a daughter like Princess Pingxi, and it is really a phoenix flying out of the chicken nest." ”
As soon as something happened to the Lu family, Han Jingyan asked his son to divorce his wife. Although Han Jiancheng has no skills, he is not as ruthless and unrighteous as Han Jingyan. No matter how Han Jingyan persecuted, he was unwilling to divorce his wife. Even if Han Jingyan released his words, saying that if he did not divorce his wife, he would take away his position as the son of the world in the name of unfilial piety, Han Jiancheng did not waver. This matter made a big fuss, and the Han family's door was not strict, so this matter spread throughout the capital. People who heard this secretly said that Han Jiancheng was a loving and righteous person, and Han Jingyan was a complete villain.
Hearing the name Han Jingyan, Tie Kui looked disgusted. has a father like Han Jingyan, it is blood mold that has been poured for eight lifetimes. Tie Kui said: "He has nothing to do with Yuxi anymore. "When Yuxi passed on to Dafang, it had nothing to do with Han Jingyan in terms of law. Later, Yuxi was expelled from the clan, and it had nothing to do with the entire Han family.
Zhong Shantong said: "Han Jingyan is the biological father of Princess Pingxi, and this can never be changed. "It may even go down in history in the future.
Tie Kui sneered: "So what? If Yuxi is the kind of person who is bound by the rules and interests of the world, then she would have become a pile of white bones a long time ago, where can she still get to this day." ”
Zhong Shantong nodded and said, "That's right." "Let's not talk about the past for the time being, just talk about how much criticism Princess Pingxi has suffered when she is in power. But now, she is not still in control of the government affairs in the northwest. And those who didn't want to pull her down have been sent to the Hades Palace by her.
Zhong Shantong's call made Tie Kui fall into deep thought. After half a ring, Tie Kui said: "Before the king of Pingxi raised troops, Han Jingyan jumped out, and he won't be able to settle down in the future." As Zhong Shantong said, Han Jingyan's villain is Yuxi's biological father. He jumped out and scolded Yuxi, which always hindered Yuxi's reputation.
Zhong Shantong was shocked and said, "Kuizi, do you want to solve Han Jingyan?" Seeing Tie Kui nodding, Zhong Shantong shook his head and said, "Kuizi, this is not appropriate." Once we are exposed, we will be exposed. "For the sake of a Han Jingyan, it's really not worth it.
Tie Kui said: "Leaving this thing will cause great trouble. "As Yunqing and Yuxi become more and more powerful, more and more people attack them. When the time comes, not to mention the others, Yan Wushuang will definitely use Han Jingyan to attack Yuxi. Although gossip does not affect Yuxi, it is harmful to Yuxi's reputation.
Zhong Shantong is also ashamed of Han Jingyan, but this is not the same thing as killing Han Jingyan: "Kuizi, if Princess Pingxi wants to kill Han Jingyan, she doesn't have to wait now." Let's not meddle in this matter!" "There are many people lurking in the northwest in the capital, if Princess Pingxi had this heart, Han Jingyan would have died a long time ago.
Tie Kui shook his head and said, "That's different. Baishan filial piety comes first, and Han Jingyan is shameless and then he is Yuxi's biological father. Therefore, Yuxi would never give such an order. "If Yuxi gives such an order, it will not only make the people below shocked, but once the matter is leaked, Yuxi will be charged with killing his father, which is infamous for the ages.
Zhong Shantong shook his head and said, "Kuizi, I still think that we should not meddle in this matter. "It's a thankless job.
Tie Kui said in a low voice: "Don't persuade me, I've already decided." If it weren't for her sister's dowry to clear the relationship, he wouldn't have had a chance to survive. So, this time I should repay my sister's kindness!
Hearing this, Zhong Shantong said: "Even if we want to kill Han Jingyan, we can't do it." ”
Tie Kui smiled and said, "Of course. For Han Jingyan to put myself in, it was too worthless. As long as the plan is good, it will not leave a trace. ”
Seeing this, Zhong Shantong stopped persuading.
