"This Chu country will be mine in the future, and I naturally know it in my heart. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Li Chuyuan glanced at Wang Cheng, and his words were full of meaning.
Wang Cheng immediately arched his body when he heard this, Li Chuyuan was obviously reminding him to pay attention to proportion, even if he was a proton, he was not something that a courtier could accuse.
Picking up the chopsticks, Li Chuyuan held a piece of braised pork and said: "Since the elder Feige is invited, I will take a look, after all, this knife is not cut on my body." “
……
In the princess's mansion, Princess Pingyang was reading "Qingzhou Daily", and she frowned when she saw the news that King Zhao was about to be beheaded for public display, and then she suddenly sighed.
"Hey, I thought that there was a disturbance in Chang'an City back then, and the palace could know it for the first time, but now the palace can only see it from this newspaper."
Today's guest in the princess's mansion was Song Guogong's wife Liu, she said: "Who said no, the emperor is keeping an eye on us royal relatives, and no one dares to take a step beyond Lei Chi." ”
Princess Pingyang pursed her lips and laughed, after the imperial relatives of Chang'an fled to Qingzhou, Xiao Ming did not distinguish between the land and the imperial relatives, and the second did not give the imperial relatives every month of silver, which made many royal relatives dissatisfied, and privately criticized Xiao Ming.
"This thunder pool naturally can't be crossed, otherwise I'm afraid that I will fall to pieces, let's walk safely on the shore safely, after all, this emperor is different from the previous emperor, this vassal king dares to kill, who else does he dare not kill." Princess Pingyang laughed intentionally or unintentionally.
Liu's face was red and white, and she could understand the secret words, among the royal relatives in Qingzhou, only Princess Pingyang had the highest prestige, so they would come to Princess Pingyang to complain if they were unhappy.
This Liu family is no exception, although Xiao Ming did not issue regular silver to these royal clansmen, but Xiao Ming once gave a large sum of silver to these royal clansmen according to their titles to let them do business.
He also instructed Li Kaiyuan to set up a special team of imperial businessmen for these royal relatives, as long as these royal relatives are willing to do business, the chamber of commerce will open the door to convenience.
It's just that some royal relatives think it's a shame and refuse to do business, such as this Song Guogong.
took the eight thousand taels given by Xiao Ming to gamble, but lost everything, if it weren't for Princess Pingyang's relief, this Song Guogong would not be able to eat.
was secretly accused by Princess Pingyang, this Liu can only bear it, she said: "What the princess said makes sense, but not everyone has the business talent of Her Royal Highness the Princess, it is said that now the princess earns tens of thousands of taels of silver a month, and I hope that Her Royal Highness the princess can mention something." ”
"Song Guogong asked you to come again." Princess Pingyang snorted lightly, "No wonder the emperor is angry, one is more unsuccessful than the other, how does this make the emperor trust you." ”
Liu stopped talking, and she could only complain and complain.
Sighing slightly, she said to Liu: "Even so, the emperor is too negligent to the royal family now, and it can't go on like this, if these people stabbed Lou Zi that day, it would be an excuse for him Pang Yukun and other officials to accuse us." “
After that, she asked Ouyang Mu to take fifty taels of silver for the Liu family, and now Xiao Ming has to take care of her regardless of her, these people really give her a little headache.
The Liu family left with great gratitude, and Ouyang Mu said at this time: "Your Royal Highness the Princess, it is not a way to go on like this, although the business of the Princess's Mansion is quite profitable, but this Song Guogong and tomorrow Tang Guogong will have to hollow them out sooner or later, not to mention that they are generous one by one, and there are many people in the family, and no amount of silver is enough." ”
"I don't know this palace, because of this, the emperor will give a sum of silver to send us royal relatives, when the emperor was there, it was only this case of silver that accounted for the majority of the treasury expenditure, this emperor can be fine, but the emperor has some wishful thinking on this matter, and he is afraid that there will be chaos if he doesn't let it go, today this Liu's words are full of dissatisfaction with the emperor, and he is quite resentful, this is no accident, presumably they often discuss."
After a pause, she said: "It seems that it is necessary for this palace to go to the palace to meet the emperor, and by the way, ask about this change. “
Ouyang Mu smiled bitterly, although this princess of Pingyang took good care of these royal relatives, she was not going to the palace to find the emperor.
Her real intention is to change the law, Princess Pingyang is extremely smart, and she has been prepared after this change has shown signs.
Let Ouyang Mu prepare, she went directly to Xingyuan, and after some reporting, she saw Xiao Ming who was correcting the folds in the Zhengyu study.
"Your Majesty, it's right to be diligent in government affairs, but you can't get tired." Princess Pingyang said a little affectionately.
Xiao Ming smiled, I have to say that Princess Pingyang is very good at being a person, and it is no wonder that Xiao Wenxuan loves this sister very much.
After she lived in Qingzhou, the princess of Pingyang would come here from time to time to chat with the queen mother and Fei Yue'er, and at the same time would send him some strange things.
It can be said that he can see Princess Pingyang every once in a while.
However, there are not many cases where Princess Pingyang comes to him directly, so he said: "The eldest princess must not have come here to care about my body." ”
In the past, when Xiao Ming was still the king of Qi, he could call Princess Pingyang's aunt, but after ascending the throne, he could only call her the eldest princess.
Pingyang has long been accustomed to Xiao Ming's straightforward way of speaking, in her opinion, her prince and nephew don't like cumbersome, just like simplicity.
So she said: "Don't hide it from the emperor, I came this time for the royal family, and the emperor must know about this Song Guogong." ”
"I know that not only Song Guogong, but also many princes and children are very dissatisfied with me." Xiao Ming said lightly.
Princess Pingyang said: "Why should the emperor bother with them, as long as it is beneficial to the Great Chongqing Kingdom, why should he care about them, if the royal family is gone, they will not starve to death one by one." ”
"The eldest princess is righteous." Xiao Ming laughed, "It's not appropriate to just let them keep looking for the eldest prince to ask for silver, doesn't this mean that I am unkind?" ”
Princess Pingyang's face did not change, she said: "The emperor is too worried, my silver is also given by the emperor, this is a thousand words, they are still grateful to the emperor." “
In fact, there is no need for Princess Pingyang to say this, he is also ready to deal with these royal relatives, because these royal children who are used to being domineering in Chang'an have already caused a lot of trouble for him in Qingzhou.
If this goes on for a long time, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the people, because these people represent the royal family.
So he said, "I can give them another chance, this time I have decided to encourage private businesses and workshops, if they actively participate in it, they will be able to eat and drink, if they still follow the rules and complain about me when they run out of money, don't blame me for being ruthless." ”
