Chapter 870 King Qin's Revenge ([-])

On the first day of the winter month, early morning.

Cao Yuzan took drastic measures to enshrine officials and honor titles, among which the highest ranks were from the second-rank Prince Shaoshi, Prince Shaofu, and Prince Shaobao.These three positions are collectively called "Three Young Masters of the Prince" or "Three Young Masters of the East Palace", and they are often the closest people to the Prince.But how can there be a prince in the Liang Dynasty now?Obviously, these are three vain positions, and it is better to say that they are officials than nobles.They were given to the patriarchs of the Qian, Han, and Fan clans respectively.

Cao Yuzan said that the three families had contributed money, goods, and people to the court in many wars, and they had contributed a lot. Now that the Daliang Dynasty is thriving, the three families should be given some benefits.

But the three chaebols were not happy about getting benefits, because they knew Cao Yuzan, and her benefits were not for nothing.Moreover, the benefits she "gives" cannot be avoided, otherwise it will be against the edict, despise the imperial power, and disrespect the Queen Mother.

Sure enough, at the end of the early court, Cao Yuzan raised his war intention again, pointing directly at Hexi: "Our main throat leading to the Western Regions has been blocked by mere Sangla for more than ten years, and the annual loss is as high as tens of billions."

Cao Yuzan glanced at the ministers: "This year is another bumper harvest year. It coincides with the end of the two tax reforms, and the treasury is full. I should take back my homeland. I don't know if there are any warriors in my dynasty who are worthy of this task?"

An Guogong Tang Zhen responded immediately: "To fight Hexi, I have a duty to fight Hexi, and I must be the vanguard. If anyone helps me, I welcome it naturally; if no one helps me, I will fight by myself. Help, don't share the benefits of Hexi in the future. I want to increase taxes for merchants who pass through Tongguan!"

Everyone knew in their hearts that the Empress Dowager and Tang Zhenyi sang together, and each was in a higher tune than the other.

Seeing Duke An's majestic style, no one can stop him now.At this time, the officials of the Tang family also jumped out one after another, and responded loudly to An Guogong.

Jing Guogong Meng Danqing bowed his head and remained silent.Chu Guogong Ximen Zhensen stroked his beard lightly, squinting at Meng Danqing.The second prince did not raise any objections, and the early court ended. Cao Yuzan declared that King Qin, King Geng, Duke An, Duke Jing, Duke Chu, and the crown prince moved to the back hall to discuss important matters in secret.But Cao Yuzan did not meet the eight at the same time, but first met the prince and the third young master.

The three elders were given seats, and the three elders sat upright, very solemn.

"How much can the three of you pay?"

Sitting behind the curtain, Empress Dowager Cao made no secret of her intentions and asked the three families for money straight to the point.

The three old men had already guessed that Cao Yuzan wanted money, and after a quick discussion on the way to the apse, they decided to pay 50 billion each.

When Cao Yuzan heard this number, his voice was low: "Hexi business is also very important to your three families, right?"

Obviously, Cao Yuzan was not satisfied with this number.

Prince Shao Fu Han Guang stood up and said respectfully: "As the Queen Mother said, the Hexi business road is indeed important to the Han family, but now that the two consecutive tax reforms have caused the Han family to lose more than half of their assets, they really can't afford more money."

At this time, the prince's young teacher Qian Qitong and the prince's young Bao Fan Liang responded one after another, saying that they could not afford more money.

Cao Yuzan snorted coldly: "Well, it turns out that the three of you have had such a hard time. It seems that the Ai family has overlooked it, and I am really sorry for you heroes. I am about to carry out commercial tax reform in Gyeonggi-do, and I am worried about this tax. The three of you can't stand it anymore, and I can't bear to see the hero's family fall. Then forget it, you don't have to donate 50 billion, go to the palace."

Han Qianfan and the three elders secretly looked at each other, sweating profusely.If the three of them really walked out of the apse at this time, it would be bad luck.At the beginning, Cao Yuzan promised the three families that the Gyeonggi-do tax reform would not involve the six families of Tang, Meng, Ximen, Qian, Han, and Fan.But now listening to the tone, it seems that it is about to change.

No matter how it changes, the three families of Tang, Meng and Ximen must be as stable as Mount Tai, but the three families of Qian and Hanfan have no confidence.The three companies are very clear about how severe the commercial tax reform is.Later, the three companies took out a total of 450 billion. At this time, Cao Yuzan sighed and said:
"You guys are crying poor with me. The accounts in Luoyang City are clearly listed by the household department. How can I not know how much money you have? When the West Market was opened, the three of you used all means to earn a lot of money. I turned my eyes and closed my eyes. I think you know the housing prices in Luoyang at that time and how they are now. At that time, your investment was at least tens of billions, and it has doubled now, right? Give part of it to the imperial court to open up the Hexi commercial road. You are also good, what else do you have to feel bad about?"

Cao Yuzan made 450 billion by cheating, but she only used 300 billion for the war. She said that the three companies only used this money.As for where the remaining 150 billion went, she did not say.

This kind of thing can be hidden from the common people, but it cannot be hidden from the powerful.But everyone knew it well, and there was nothing wrong with Cao Yuzan.If she had to get to the bottom of it, she would be able to list a lot of reasons that sound reasonable.Such as repairing the Great Wall, solidifying river embankments, expanding water transportation, and so on.

Su Yu was very busy this morning, first went to court early, then went to the apse, and then went to ask for the palace of the virtuous king.Because when he was in the apse, Su Yu could not take the lead in sending troops for the King Xian.

……

Su Yu returned to Qinghuafang and went straight to the Duke's Hall, when Tang Zhen was dispatching troops.

"Jingfeng come and sit down."

Tang Zhen invited Su Yu to stay with him and watch him dispatch troops and generals.

Su Yu didn't intend to participate in it, but he couldn't resist Tang Zhen's enthusiasm, so he sat down.

There are many powerful generals in the Tang family, and people with qualifications like Dian Feng have a profile as high as one person.This kind of soldiers who have just stayed behind after a long war are the best at fighting.Referring to the peninsula war in later generations, even though the equipment was outdated, the people from China still fought vigorously.

In the Hexi Corridor, Tang Zhen is sure to win, and all the best soldiers and strong generals will come out.

After Tang Zhen finished his work, the two moved to the study.

"What did the virtuous king say?" Tang Zhen asked straight to the point.

"Zhao Qiang took the seventh and No.19 divisions there." Su Yu said.

Tang Zhen was not very happy, but he still nodded: "It's good if you can send troops."

Tang Zhen hoped that Zhang Yunlong or Su Yu would lead the team to Hexi, but Tang Zhen understood the King Xian's intentions, knowing that King Xian would not change, so don't complain.

Su Yu lowered his voice and said, "King Xian doesn't want Min Yue to come back."

Tang Zhen glanced at Su Yu, smiled and said, "What benefits can he give me?"

Su Yu asked back: "How much can Cao Yuzan give?"

Tang Zhen said bluntly: "After two tax reforms and opening up the Hexi Corridor, our Tang family's economy will be guaranteed. It will only be a matter of time before the debts are filled, so money is not as important to me as before. Cao Yuzhan agreed, Daxing The queen belongs to the Tang family. At first I was a little worried that Tang Yuan was too old, but now the problem has been resolved."

In front of Su Yu, Tang Zhen didn't hesitate to smile, and didn't hide this little secret. An Jing was pregnant again.And Tranquil's identity has also changed.Although a grand wedding is not planned, the tea ceremony is still to be held.

Su Yudao: "Even if Min Yue passes through Chang'an, the sage King Kang will not allow Min Yue to pass through Tongguan. If Min Yue forces his way in, Cao Yuzan will be in danger."

Tang Zhen nodded: "That's true. But at this stage, it's not the time to think about Min Yue."

Seeing Tang Zhen's attitude, Hexi must fight, but the queen's business is just to beat the rabbit.

In other words, he didn't reject King Hyun, but he didn't set conditions either.

It is estimated that he will not put forward too high a condition, because at this time the virtuous king Kang Wang has a backup, and he does not completely expect Tang Zhen to stop Min Yue.

……

The women in the Duke's mansion suddenly disappeared, leaving a large area, which seemed deserted.It is said that Concubine Fan and Tang Linger are considering choosing a concubine for Tang Zhen again.

Presumably at this time, Concubine Fan must be unhappy, but Tang Linger is very happy to choose for her brother.

Women are all like this, and it feels awkward to choose a concubine for their own husband, but it is better to choose a concubine for an elder brother or son.Serious double standard.

Seeing her aggressiveness, Zhao Zhen was not yet one year old, she started looking for a daughter-in-law, and she was extremely picky.The general situation of the three generations of the woman, parental status, appearance, personality, and children's eyebrows, eyes, nose, ears and lips must be carefully checked.If you don't like it, you will reject it.But she didn't care what her son looked like.

Whenever someone said that her child was not good-looking, her face sank at that time, and the boss was not happy.She often said that there is no ugly face in a man, and her son's heaven is full and round.It's just a little dark, but what's wrong with being black?Black is healthier.

Speaking of which, she can't be entirely blamed, those people took the initiative to bring their children to the Prince of Qin's mansion to marry their babies, Tang Linger was a little picky.

Recently, Tang Ling'er is also very busy. Together with Concubine Fan, she sorted out the remaining 50 women.

In fact, after killing those old women, the rest are no more than 25 years old, and they look good.Most of them were rewarded to the generals of the Shence Army.In the end, only six young women under the age of 20 were left.Among them is Nalanci, a male Jiamei.

Now there are Concubine Fan, Concubine Fan, Concubine Ouyang, and seven beauties including Tian Jing Na Lanci in the Duke's Mansion.Tang Ling'er said that this is too little, not worthy of the status of Duke.She didn't even look at Concubine Fan's face, and began to choose beauties for Tang Zhen with great fanfare.At this time, Wang Xun had an idea, leaned over and said:

"Why does the princess have to pick everywhere? Isn't there a suitable one in front of me? Regardless of status or appearance, any place is suitable."

Tang Ling'er was slightly stunned: "Who is it?"

Wang Xun pointed to the east: "Nalan Xi."

"Her?" Tang Linger hesitated.

It has been some time since Nalanxi was given to King Qin by the Queen Mother, but Tang Linger has been refusing to accept her.If she was transferred to Tang Zhen, it would be all over, but would it offend King Qin if he did things like this?

King Qin is usually very easy-going, but he also has a temper.This kind of person is actually quite scary, because you don't know when he will make a big fire, and it will never be extinguished.

Seeing Tang Linger's hesitation, Wang Xun said again: "If the princess is in charge of this matter, it would be difficult for King Qin to blame her. It's better to let Ximen Wanting deliver it, then we won't have any worries."
