Xuanmen Xiaoguo Shi is divination again

Chapter 850

Yuan Lingwei's words were full of undisguised speculation and malice, Bai Jingzhen looked at the woman in front of her whose face was becoming more and more crazy, but her heart was surprisingly calm as stagnant water.

At this point, he finally understood the real intention of the late emperor dragging a dying sick body to go to see Mo Junli; he also truly realized his sentence "If Xihua is not useful, you Then just let her go." Under the cover, there was endless sense of loss and sadness.

It is true that he was not very old that day, and he really wanted to meet his nephew who had almost never met before he left.

But when he saw him that day, why didn't he want to take advantage of the little blood relationship between him and His Royal Highness, and use the "homeland" of the deceased Eldest Princess as a guide, to find a man for the thousands of people in Fuli? A wise king who can create a peaceful and prosperous world?

Jingshu is dull and aggressive, Xihua is fatuous and cruel, how can there be parents in this world who don't cherish their children, and how could His Majesty be unwilling to leave all of his thousands of miles of land to his descendants?

It's just that being the emperor and enjoying the world, he has to take on the world's heavy responsibility. Yuan Lingwei can't appease the countless living beings in Fuli, and Yuan Lingzhi is even more incapable of seeking blessings for the people!
They can't sit on this great river and mountain, and they can't stand firmly on the throne on the top of the mountain. Li Bian will immediately become a plate of fat that has almost no owner in this troubled world.

The Wen family has been generals for generations. Although he has been taught by His Majesty since he was a child, he does not have the ability to control and balance the world.

Fuli no longer has the son of an emperor who can afford the country and the country.

But if there is no master, when wars break out everywhere in the future, how many territories and people in the country can he and the general of the town be protected from the swords, spears, swords and halberds of the four kingdoms?
The first emperor... used his life and the love of his old friend to calculate a way out and a stable future for Fuli.

What about him?
What did the former man who was full of desire to avenge the Bai family's grievances, who was once obsessed and half insane, do?

Of course General Zhaowu's mansion was wronged back then, as a descendant he also wanted to vindicate the Bai family.

But he has been waiting for more than ten years to get justice for the Bai family, and he doesn't mind waiting another three or two years at all.

Right now, he just wanted to follow the road that the late emperor had pointed out to them early in the morning, and walk steadily down.

With Fuli's Jiangshan Sheji and tens of thousands of people, I have been looking forward to a lifetime of prosperity and peace for decades.

The young man held the corners of his lips indistinctly, and there was a self-deprecating smile on his face. He was staring at the woman whose eyes were uncontrollable because of his long silence. Blinking slowly: "Your Highness."

"I'm not so cowardly that I forgot how General Zhaowu's mansion was trapped by people and ended up being ransacked."

"This...that's true." Yuan Lingwei was slightly startled when she heard the words, and her brows and eyes suddenly became more uncomfortable.

In the past, she devoted herself to Lu Jinghong and only cared about helping him manage the affairs up and down, so she never realized how many disturbances he caused during the previous years.

Back then, when the "intended rebellion" of General Zhaowu's residence was revealed, she followed Lu Jinghong and slandered Old General Bai as a sycophant in the court. It wasn't until the past six months that she gradually separated from Lu Shi that she finally understood. In that incident back then, there were many unusual flavors.

For example, if the Bai family really intends to rebel, why did the old ministers who were still regarded as the center of the previous dynasty join forces to save Bai Jingzhen, who had passed the mourning period?

For another example, if the Bai family really intended to rebel, how could the emperor half push and half leave the orphan of the Bai family in front of him, and call him into the palace, keep him by his side, and raise him carefully until he reaches adulthood?
Another example... If the Bai family really intends to rebel, how could her sister-in-laws who never like to inquire about the affairs of the court pester her all day long, asking her how far she has gone in the investigation of the General's Mansion?
Yuan Lingwei squeezed her cuffs a little awkwardly. She knew she was not smart, but she was a princess taught by the Tian Family after all, so she was not so stupid as to be incurable.

Once she broke away from the fog and confusion called "love", the countless doubts hidden in the past years immediately collapsed before her eyes.

She...has long since found out that the so-called "rebellion" was just directed and acted by the Lu family in collaboration with several civil servants, in order to seize the opportunity to seize the military power of the Bai family.

"Then... what your lord said just now," Yuan Lingwei calmed down after thinking for a while, and tried to speak calmly, "What do you mean?"

"This is an important matter that I want to report to Your Highness." Bai Jingzhen lowered his eyelashes in response, and unhurriedly mentioned a seemingly unrelated matter, "Your Highness, I don't know if you have heard someone say that Xishang has been very restless these past few months."

"Western business?" Yuan Lingwei frowned upon hearing the sound, she braced her chin and thought for a while, then raised her eyebrows slightly and raised her eyes, "Your Excellency means...the king of Western Shang has recently hoarded food and grass in secret, intending to train his troops About the horse?"

The young man smiled and nodded: "Not bad."

"Master Bai, this palace is naturally clear about what you said." Yuan Lingwei said, while deliberating, she asked the doubts in her heart, "It's just... what does this have to do with Lu Shi?"

"They are training their troops now, because they want to take advantage of the great battle for a share of the pie, and also want to take the opportunity to avenge the 360 million taels of silver that Han Ze and Qian Ping teamed up with... This is not the way to go On Jinghong's head?"

"No." Bai Jingzhen shook his head lightly, with a cool smile in his eyes, "Your Highness, I have the courage to ask you, do you know how many taels of silver we can get into the treasury a year?"

"This... about 800 million taels." Yuan Lingwei pondered, "I remember that the middle school last year had good weather and no major disasters, and the tax revenue was slightly higher than in previous years. There can be more than 900 million taels of silver. .”

"If it is placed in previous years, it is about 800 million or so in the account."

"That's right, the tax that Fuli can pay in a year is almost 800 million taels." Bai Jingzhen nodded, calmly leading Yuan Lingwei's thoughts to go deeper.

"Then, Your Highness, what is the concept of 360 million taels of silver to us Fuli; if we take out these 360 million taels in one go, what effect will it have on Fuli?"

"360 million taels, which is close to the imperial court's tax revenue for half a year." Yuan Lingwei frowned, "Although Fuli can be said to be rich and powerful, if we were to pay so much money all at once, the imperial court would have to severely injure everyone." Tighten your muscles and move your bones."

"——The national treasury has to wait for at least two years to fill up the deficit of more than 300 million taels."

"That's right, even if it is Fuli who suddenly allocated more than 300 million taels of silver, it would still take a toll on his vitality." Bai Jingzhen smiled softly, "Then tell me, Your Highness."

"Western merchants who are so much younger than Fuli, after paying 360 million taels of silver..."

"Where did you get so much money to accumulate food and train soldiers?"
