In the room, Bai Jin looked at Su Mei and asked, "With your appearance, what kind of man can't be found, why did you choose him?" ”

The corners of Su Mei's mouth curled a little, and she chuckled: "He is good to me." ”

Bai Jin said: "As long as you are willing, there will be someone who treats you better than him." ”

Su Mei shook her head and said, "But none of them are him." ”

"Love words hurt." Bai Jin looked at her and said: "Your qualifications are a few points better than Gongsun Ying back then, Gongsun Ying was mistaken by love, I hope you don't follow in her footsteps." ”

Su Mei raised her head and looked at her, and said, "I think Uncle Gongsun has a more interesting life than you......"

Bai Jin frowned, and asked rhetorically, "She?" ”

"She at least knows what it means to like." Su Mei looked at her and asked curiously, "Have you ever liked someone in your life?" ”

Bai Jin said indifferently: "No." ”

"A boring woman." Su Mei stood up, waved her hand lazily, and said, "Sleep......"

She kicked off her shoes, didn't bother to take off her clothes, wrapped herself in the quilt, there was no warm quilt tonight, she curled up, closed her eyes, and said, "Remember to bring the door when you go......"

Bai Jin stood up, walked to the door, waved his sleeves, and extinguished the oil lamp on the table.

She closed the door, but didn't leave right away.

She glanced up at the clear moon in the sky, and thinking of Su Mei's question just now, a figure appeared in her mind.

The figure has long been blurred, can't see really, vaguely like a teenager, she doesn't remember what happened to the young man's body, just vaguely remember a bright smile, that is also the smile of decades ago, everything beyond this smile, with those old things, vanished......

……

Su Mei didn't come over last night, and when Tang Ning got up in the morning, he gently pushed away Tang Xiaoxiao, who was holding him with two long legs and one arm on his chest, and got out of bed and walked out of the room.

Chen Zhou had been waiting outside for a long time, handed him a secret letter, and said, "My lord, this is sent back by the senior of Gongsun Kuaima. ”

Gongsun Ying went out on a secret mission, and Tang Ning opened the secret letter, and the content of the letter was not much different from what he expected.

The top general of the Taizhou garrison, as well as several junior generals under his command, were tricked, and there was a force that secretly forced them to obey orders.

Gongsun Ying helped them solve the Gu, and then went to the next state, the prince of Qianwang was so confident in this rebellion, he would definitely not control only one Taizhou.

In addition, there is also some news in Runzhou.

It is rumored that the emperor sent people to Jiangnan this time to seize silver from the wealthy gentry in Jiangnan to fill the empty treasury, as exemplified by the officials and merchants whose homes were raided.

When the treasury ran out of money, it paid attention to the gentry and wealthy families, and then raised the mining tax and commercial tax, etc., and wanted to use Jiangnan to fill the treasury......

As soon as this news came out, Runzhou suddenly panicked.

After enjoying preferential treatment for many years, the local clans and wealthy businessmen are naturally unwilling to suffer losses and suffer losses in vain.

The people are even more panicked, although these measures of the imperial court cannot fall on their heads, but it is obvious that the losses suffered by those wealthy families will be made up from them, in the final analysis, these measures still have the greatest impact on them.

The four major families have been based in Runzhou for many years, and they have long divided this plate of cake cleanly, and the gentry of Runzhou are all looking forward to the four major families, and each of them affects one party, this rumor, first of all, spread from the territory of the Su family, and soon spread to everywhere, in the entire territory of Runzhou, the rumors are boiling.

Outside Runzhou City, in a certain field, two farmers squatted on the ground and chatted after work.

"I heard that the imperial court is going to attack Jiangnan this time, and the future will not be easy......"

"Jiangnan raises the court and supplies the court, it is not enough for them to use our silver and take our food, and now they have to drink our blood and eat our meat, the people in the north are people, and the people in my Jiangnan are not people?"

"If you don't give the people a good life, forget it, and still think about embarrassing us, what's the use of such a court, it's better to forget it the other way around......"

"Hey, you can't talk nonsense......"

"What nonsense, change the court, maybe life will be better......"

……

When they said this, the two couldn't help but lower their voices, and after they couldn't hear what the two said, Tang Ning walked on the field road and got into a carriage on the official road.

The Su family chose to help the prince of Qianwang rebel, using the old routine of inciting public opinion.

The reason why the routine will become a routine is because it works, if the prince of Qianwang rebels, a thousand soldiers and horses can suppress it, and the people of Jiangnan rebel, and ten times the elite soldiers have to fold here.

In the final analysis, it is a matter of public opinion.

Tang Ning was not worried about Jiangnan, everything here was expected and controlled by him, he was worried about the north and the western regions.

The north and the Western Regions are reversed, and Jiangnan is reversed, but it is only worse, Jiangnan is not opposed, Chen Guo still has to face the chaos in the northwest, if he is defenseless against this, he was caught off guard by the two parties, and when the imperial court reacts, I am afraid that the northwest will completely fall into the hands of others.

Calculating the time, the secret letter should also be sent to Jingshi, hoping to attract Emperor Chen's attention and prepare early.

Capital.

Since Feng Xiang resigned and the officials of the Jiangnan family were dismissed, Jingshi was really quiet for a while, and the only thing that was not calm was that some people living along the street were always woken up by abnormal movements outside at night.

The more daring men, looking through the windows and the cracks in the doors, saw only horse-drawn carriages passing through the streets late at night, heading in the direction of the palace......

The people have different opinions about this, some people say that this is the elixir of immortality that His Majesty has refined, and some people say that this is a secret treasure from the Western Regions...... speculation is speculation after all, and what exactly is in those boxes is still a mystery......

In the palace, in the imperial study, Emperor Chen looked at a list in front of him, and the smile on his face couldn't be suppressed.

After arriving in Jiangnan from Tangning, in the past few months, people have successively brought back a total of 18 million taels of gold and silver, and various rare treasures are worth more than 10 million taels.

In other words, Tang Ning alone supported Chen Guo's taxes for three years.

All this silver went into the inner mansion, as the emperor, he has never been so rich, Emperor Chen stood up and said: "His official is not good to be promoted in a short period of time, this time I come back, do I want to give him a knight......

As soon as he finished speaking, a eunuch hurriedly ran in, held up a secret letter, and said, "Your Majesty, Runzhou is eight hundred miles in an emergency!" ”

Emperor Chen sat back in his position and said loudly: "Submit it!" ”

A few days ago, he didn't send a message of the five million taels of silver shipped from Quzhou for 800 miles, but this time it was so solemn, could it be more than 10 million taels?

The eunuch hurriedly handed over the secret letter, and Emperor Chen couldn't wait to tear open the envelope and cast his eyes on it.

"Western Regions, Grassland, Jiangnan ......"

The next moment, he stood up suddenly, looked at the secret letter in his hand, only to feel that his eyes were black, and he couldn't help but feel dizzy for a while, and after taking a few steps back, he fell directly to the ground.

Wei Jian's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said in a focused voice: "Imperial Doctor, quickly pass on Imperial Doctor......
