Datang first village

When Li Yuanxing took Wu Zhao to rest, it was already three in the morning in modern time.

The entire city of Chang'an has become quiet.

But in the Wang family's mansion in Chang'an, Wang Ba was kneeling in the courtyard, the clothes on his back were completely torn, and a puddle of blood had already accumulated under his body.

Wang Jishan sat in front of Wang Ba.

Wang Ba's fiancée, Yu Zhen'er, was running in a pavilion not far away, and a lady next to her was trying to persuade Yu Zhen'er to get up, because it was cold at night, if she hurt herself, it wouldn't be worth it.

Five other men in Tang-style military uniforms were kneeling about ten steps away from Wang Ba.

The person on the far left had a bloody whip in front of him, and the person on the second on the far right was more seriously injured than Wang Ba. If it wasn't for being supported by the brothers on both sides, he might have fallen down.

"You are confused!" Wang Jishan scolded Wang Ba with a cold face.

Wang Ba was seriously injured, his back was already covered with flesh and blood, but his expression was as determined as iron.When Wang Jishan scolded him, he didn't even reply, but said: "After dawn, I will cut off my own arm to apologize."

"My fault, I will recite it!" The man who had almost fainted suddenly regained his energy and shouted loudly.

"Come here, prepare some tonics! Medicines that don't cause trauma!" A voice like a silver bell came from the darkness. First, the light of two lanterns appeared, and then Wang Yuyan in a long cloak appeared.

Wang Yuyan did not approach, and gave a salute when he was about twenty steps away from Wang Jishan, and then said, "I am a junior, and I shouldn't have come out to speak. It is just a stone, and it is a big or small matter. His Royal Highness Qin is kind and will not The punishment will not be severe.”

Wang Jishan shook his head lightly: "The Wang family has its own family rules!"

"In Prince Qin's Mansion, the seven concubines represent the Seventh Family. The position of the main concubine is absolutely irrelevant to any of the seven of us, and there is no result in the mansion, but once anyone loses importance from His Highness's eyes , his family will become a second-rate or even third-rate family within ten years!"

Wang Ba looked at Wang Yuyan in surprise.

Wang Yuyan, who is only 16 years old, really frightened Wang Ba by turning his words.

Wang Jishan seemed to have thought of something, and his expression became a little unnatural.

"Most of the Qinghe Cui family's financial resources and manpower began to transfer to the Peninsula. Those of the Peninsula Cui family who had bad intentions and were disobedient were suppressed. Those who gained power and took power in the Peninsula Cui family were without exception those who were willing to return to Qinghe. Long Right Li Shi, all the financial resources and manpower have begun to be mobilized to the northwest, and the Li family has never been united like this before! This is all I can say!"

After Wang Yuyan finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards her own house.

She was supposed to go back to Admiral Tiance's Mansion, but she found an excuse to stay home for one night.

In order to say some important words, but it was an accident on Wang Ba's side.

Wang Ba's men took two extra stones, one the size of a fist and the other the size of an egg.This matter is too small, and no one knows.Only Wang Ba and other six people know, and it is even more unknown whether the stone can produce emerald.

Wang Jishan punished Wang Ba according to the family rules of the Wang family.

This made Wang Yuyan no chance to speak that night, and originally planned to speak the next day.

Wang Yuyan had already fallen asleep, but after hearing the maid's report, she couldn't help coming out, and she still had to say something.

"Wait a minute!" Seeing that Wang Yuyan was about to leave, Wang Jishan asked, "Does His Highness King Qin know what you're talking about?"

"Is there anything His Royal Highness King Qin doesn't know about the affairs of the world? Only His Highness is not interested in knowing, or doesn't want to know!" After Wang Yuyan finished speaking, he saluted: "Yuyan will leave!"

Many things have been proved by the words of the king and his good believer Wang Yuyan, and His Royal Highness King Qin is ahead of the curve.

But there are also accidents. For example, more than a year ago, the Turkic War ended, and His Royal Highness King Qin wanted to return for the wounded soldiers, and the result was...

Do not!

Wang Jishan shook his head vigorously. If King Qin lost, he lost to Manchu officials and gentry.What did the Keshi clan win?Looking at the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty at this time, these soldiers who used to have the same status as slaves now have double status, whether it is social status or status in the eyes of the people.

Or the influence of speaking in court and place.

Both are greatly improved.

"The law of war is not about the gain or loss of a city or a pond." Wang Jishan suddenly said something that seemed inexplicable.But he knew in his heart that in fact, King Qin won that fight.Having gained the unlimited trust of the entire Datang military, thinking about it now, Wang Jishan felt a chill down his back.

"You get up first, you all get up first." Wang Jishan helped Wang Ba.

Wang Ba also realized that the matter might not be simple, so he signaled his five subordinates to stand up, give the seriously injured one a brief treatment, then feed some tonics, and help him to rest.

Wang Jishan approached Wang Ba and asked in a low voice: "Tell me, what does His Highness King Qin tell you about you and the Japanese people on Wa Island? Don't worry, drink your saliva and think slowly. Don't miss anything?" A glass of water was served.

"About the Wa Island, His Highness has three instructions. One is that we can do whatever we want. The second is that the Japanese are available, but they must be like kites. The third is that I should not be impulsive and protect the lives of my subordinates! Regarding the Japanese, His Highness's confession is Be willing to give up your bones!"

"Are you willing to give up your bones?" Wang Jishan was taken aback for a moment.

Wang Ba nodded very seriously: "Yes, the original words are, you have to be willing to give up your bones!"

Wang Jishan hurriedly asked: "Then, what about the fact that I asked you to recognize your ancestors?"

"Your Highness said that this is a good thing. People need a family. Originally, I had an offensive mission, but I was temporarily dispatched to leave Wa Island. Originally, I thought that because I belonged to the royal family, I was afraid that the royal family was too powerful and would not let me go again. Take care of the Japanese Island. But after bringing those stones back, I understand that His Highness wants to use Yu Zhen'er's ability to deal with jade. He brought me along to avoid suspicion, after all, Yu Zhen'er is the daughter-in-law of my royal family."

Wang Jishan nodded, Li Yuanxing always handles these details very well.

"Also, as soon as the flying boat landed, I received an order from the Ministry of War to take the ordnance. I must board the boat at the Jinghe Wharf within five days. And I only have one month to go back to Wa Island."

"I can't guess it, I can't see it clearly. Our Highness King Qin is so unpredictable." Wang Jishan sighed with emotion.

"I heard a gossip on the flying boat!"

"Quick talk!" Wang Jishan grabbed Wang Ba's hand.

"It was a conversation between Qiu Xiang, a female official of the Qin Palace, and Lu Maofeng of the Guards. After cutting open the stone to see the treasure, Qiu Xiang said to Lu Maofeng: Please pay attention to two good ones. The king of Han and the princess of Silla are married. Concubine. These stones are an extra precious gift for Cui Changshi!"

After Wang Ba finished speaking, he took another sip of water: "I didn't care about it at first. Now that I think about it, it's different, because the two wives, one is the cousin of Princess Ying, and the other is the daughter-in-law of the current Peninsula Cui family. And the two families and the Jin family of Silla each have two concubines."

"Hiss..." Wang Jishan shook his head vigorously: "No, it's impossible."

"Nothing is impossible. No one understands His Royal Highness King Qin's actions. But I know one more thing. Sometimes the ship that sends us supplies will go to the north of Wa Island. I heard that there is a port there, which is Qinghe River. The Cui family’s is known as one of the four great ports of the Tang Dynasty. It’s called Vladivostok Weigang!”

Wang Jishan shook his head with a wry smile: "I don't understand, I really don't understand."

"What's so strange, you asked me so much, if you don't tell me anything, don't blame me as a junior for cursing!" Wang Ba asked back with a cold face.

"Okay, I'll tell you. But don't talk nonsense!"

"Speak quickly!" Wang Ba's tone was exactly the same as when Wang Jishan urged him just now.

Wang Jishan thought for a while, and then slowly said: "According to common sense, for the sake of imperial power, the aristocratic family must be suppressed. However, His Royal Highness King Qin did the opposite. The matter of Tianying Pavilion weakened the imperial power, and the matter of admonishing the court gave the poor family some The power of the aristocratic family. But in fact, it is still the part given up by the imperial power."

"I understand this, and I understand it!"

"Think about it carefully. As long as some powerful families in the world are being supported by King Qin, the only requirement is that the family pay taxes. Let me give you a number. Our Wang family has paid taxes, but in the past year What you earn every year is more than 20 times the tax you pay. That is to say, although the aristocratic family has paid taxes, they still take advantage of it.”

Wang Ba scratched his hair: "His Royal Highness Qin Wang is really incomprehensible!"

"If you can figure it out, you won't be the King of Qin!"

After Wang Jishan gave a concluding speech, he said: "You guys go to rest and write down the confession document. I will write another letter to His Highness Qin Wang. For Qin Wang, even if he saw the stone, he would treat it as if he hadn't seen it. .But the rules of the royal family cannot be messed up, and the rules of the Prince Qin's mansion cannot be underestimated."

"I understand that!"

"Go to the Ministry of War tomorrow. Your fault lies with Wang's family, Prince Qin's mansion, not the Ministry of War!" Wang Jishan emphasized.

Wang Ba went down to rest, but Wang Jishan stood alone in the night, the more he thought about it, the more he didn't understand.Why all this?Doesn't His Royal Highness King Qin know that Li Er is alive, he is alive.These two brothers can suppress the world's aristocratic families with their personal prestige, but after that.

The imperial power must fall aside!

The Tang Dynasty may become a place where various families compete. Even if the royal family can be preserved for a thousand years, the imperial power is likely to disappear in less than a hundred years.

"Why?" Wang Jishan suddenly yelled in a loud voice to relieve the depression in his heart.

What is Li Yuanxing thinking?

Li Yuanxing was fast asleep, while Wu Zhao was fiddling with the tablet.He suddenly said to Li Yuanxing: "The Li family in Zhao County feels very poor. None of their six branches has become a big one. They don't even have a third-rank official in politics, and they don't even have a super big business in business. You say... "Wu Zhao shook Li Yuanxing.

"Li what? Don't make trouble, go to sleep!" Li Yuanxing turned over and continued to sleep soundly. Wu Zhao angrily tapped Li Yuanxing's head twice with the tablet computer. Li Yuanxing still didn't respond, so he had no choice but to turn off the computer and sleep. (To be continued.)
