Jiang Nv is indescribable

Chapter 20
Queen Lian quickly revealed the mystery——

Two days after summoning Luo's mother and daughter, Empress Lian summoned "Jiang Foyin" alone.

Jingling was built in imitation of Luoyi, and the palace city was also imitated of Luoyi's palace.

On the corridor leading to Changqiu Palace, Jiang Fosang wore a veiled cap with light gauze and knees, which completely covered his face. He didn't take it off until he entered the inner hall of Changqiu Palace, which was not considered rude.

"Daughter of the Jiang family in Tianshui, I pay my respects to Your Highness the Empress."

"Please sit down quickly and serve tea."

Empress Lian sat on the table with purple lacquer painted with golden landscape patterns. After Jiang Fosang finished her ceremony, someone from the palace had already led her to the solitary couch where she had laid ivory fine mats.

"Some things must have been told by Aunt Xian. Do you have any objections to this?"

Jiang Fosang lowered his eyes: "Follow Your Highness's orders."

Queen Lian showed a satisfied smile: "You know why Gu chose you?"

Jiang Fosang shook his head, he just didn't know.

"In Yongning Temple that day, did you really think that no one knew what you did?"

Jiang Fosang's eyes flickered slightly, but he was not panicked.

The place where the royal family came was heavily guarded, and it was chosen to be in Yongning Temple. It was indeed not easy to hide the truth from the queen.

What she gambled was that even if she was found out, it would not be known if the conflict between the Lian Xu family was so deep that even the queen would stand by or add fuel to the flames out of various considerations.

As it turned out, she was right.

Jiang Fosang Jishou: "The concubine is guilty, and she is willing to be punished."

"Xu Balang cheated on the marriage first, and then lost his morality. What is your crime? On the contrary, what you have done, I am very appreciative."

It's really rare to be so scheming at such a young age.

It just so happened that she needed a knife—knife, she must pick the right one.

Empress Lian smiled more warmly, and asked her: "How much do you know about the Hu family?"

Jiang Fosang replied: "I would like to hear the details."

_
Empress Lian first told her about the family history of the Hu family, and then briefly mentioned the current situation——

Since the south crossing, the imperial court has been busy gaining a foothold in the south of the Yangtze River. Except for Lian Min's two northern expeditions, the Yan soldiers never crossed the north of Hanshui.More energy is still put on defense to prevent the Northern Liang soldiers from crossing the Hanshui and endangering the Southern Dynasty.

In fact, the imperial court had to deal with far more than Beiliang soldiers.

Xuanhe was in turmoil, the mid-summer was in ruins, and there were not enough books for the commanders of the castle walls. When there were many, there were four to five thousand families, and when there were few, there were thousands of five hundred families.

These fort walls are distributed in the Hanshui River Basin, both in the north and the south.

And as the Yan Dynasty gradually regained its lost ground to the north, it would naturally encounter those dock walls south of Hanshui.

The dock owners at the intersection of the north and the south are very hesitant.

To put it bluntly, they no longer trust Yan Shi, and at the same time they have their own interests to weigh.So even if he accepted the title of the imperial court in name, he did not obey the imperial court's dispatch.

The imperial court must not only unite their forces to fight against Beiliang and defend the Hanshui line of defense, but also constantly fight against these dock masters.

When Lian Hong, the former general, divided these dock masters.Those who are willing to submit to the court will be greatly rewarded, and those who betray the court will be resolutely punished.

After Lian Hong was executed for rebellion, his successor Xu Chao continued this policy.

Over the past few years, except for a few tyrants who have entrenched the place and refused to obey the orders of the Yan Dynasty, the Wubi south of Hanshui has been cleaned up in sevens and eights.

That's why they were able to successfully cross Hanshui during the civil strife in Beiliang, and join forces with the dock masters north of Hanshui to defeat Beiliang's army and horses.

After the Hulu were expelled, seeing that large areas of rivers and mountains had returned to their own hands, the imperial court sent envoys to "appease" the Qiangzong of the Northland.

The Dawu masters headed by Hu and Xiao's family did accept the sincerity of the court. One was appointed as the governor of Chongzhou, and the other was appointed as the governor of Binzhou, bowing their heads to the court.

However, things are far from that simple.

The long-term war has caused the production in the north to be depressed and chaotic, but it has also provided those tyrants with room for wanton development.

After years of deep cultivation, they have taken deep root in the north.

He holds a large number of people in his hands, manages tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dependents, and also controls the local population and taxes.

——Military, political, and economic strengths are all available. On the surface, they are courtiers, but in fact they are no different from the princes of the separatist party.

The imperial court lost control of this land because of its hasty crossing to the south, and now it can no longer shake the foundation of those powerful dock owners.

There is not enough military support to govern the north, and the national strength is not enough to support another expedition.In addition, they have to rely on their rich experience in fighting against the enemy to resist Beiliang, who is undecided and trying to make a comeback, and by the way, wipe out those big and small docks that are unwilling to submit to the Yan Dynasty.

Therefore, if you don’t want to force rebellion against big dock owners like Xiao and Hu, you can only compromise – temporarily admit the fact that they are in control of the north of Hanshui, and adopt a policy of preferential treatment. Figure it out slowly.

In addition to high-ranking officials and generous salaries, marriage is also one of the preferential treatment.

The emperor originally planned to marry the daughters of the clan to show his importance. The Hu family had only seven sons who were suitable for marriage. However, they already had a marriage contract and were unwilling to break the contract.

Even the queen ignored those who could not speak to others, and said with emotion: "Your Majesty attaches great importance to Governor Hu. Your departure not only shoulders the good marriage alliance between the two surnames of Jiang and Hu, but also represents the sincerity of the royal family and the Hu family. Even the rise and fall of our Great Yan Dynasty...there is a long way to go."

If so—

Empress Lian suddenly intervened in Jiang Hu's marriage, and appointed her to marry on her behalf, obviously because she wanted to be an informer in the Hu family.Once the Hu family has disobedience or any disturbances, they will go to heaven to listen in time.

Empress Lian looked at Jiang Fusang meaningfully: "Gu Lian, you are going to marry thousands of miles away at a young age. If you think about your homeland, don't write letters often. Someone will deliver the letters for you at that time."

Jiang Fosang secretly smirked in his heart: Does she have a choice?She has no choice.

Not to mention that even the Empress has her handle, and the matter is confidential, if she dares to say no today, it is to prevent future troubles, and she will not be able to get out of the Changqiu Palace.

"Your respect."
-
After finishing the business, Queen Lian mentioned the Xu family with great interest.

"Then Kuang Bin has been dealt with by the Xu family, and Xu Yan has also been ordered to stay in the mansion. Do you know this?"

"The concubine has no contact with the Xu family, and there is no way to know these news."

"Two days ago, Mrs. Lou entered the Fangde Palace to pay her respects to Concubine Xu Gui. On the way, she met an orphan and mentioned you in her conversation. Mrs. Lou bluntly said that Mrs. Xu's family owed you a lot, and said that she would personally apologize to you someday. "

Jiang Fusang's eyes were lowered, and after hiding the coldness in his eyes, he sighed with condensed eyebrows: "Sister Lou's family may never want to see me again."

Empress Lian was surprised: "Mr. Lou is the most kind to others, what can make her blame you?"

Jiang Fosang was silent, with a look of deep remorse for his slip of the tongue.

However, in front of the queen, how can you have any room for repentance?
"Tell the truth as you know it, and don't hide it."

"This..." Jiang Fusang hesitated for a moment, and said helplessly, "When the sister-in-law of the Lou family was still the eldest sister-in-law of a concubine, she took care of her when she was ill. After she recovered, she wanted to thank her, but she accidentally heard that the eldest sister-in-law's family uncle ...had served at the side of the false emperor."
