Domineering in the East Palace: The owl girl takes the crown prince on the bar

Chapter 111

Chang Sunyan sat there, looked up at her, and said with a wry smile: "Even if there is no relationship, why is it so difficult to be friends?"

The corner of Chu Wanyou's mouth twitched, friend?In her definition, as long as it is a friend, for the sake of a friend, if necessary, it can be stabbed with a knife, but no one here can really understand what the word "friend" means?
It's not like she doesn't feel his care and care for her, even his kindness and affection for her, but what's the point of these?When interests conflict, he will sacrifice his friends for the overall situation.

Maybe they are not to be blamed, it is just that this era has endowed them with such thoughts.

An ordinary house in the capital of Fen'an is hidden among many private houses.

In the backyard study, Gu Ye sat in front of the desk, checking the business affairs accumulated in the past month.

Nong Ju stood aside, silent!

Ever since the main courtyard of the Gu family was sealed off, Gu Ye's footsteps have been changed to this ordinary courtyard.

"How's the war between the two countries?" Gu Ye flipped through the volume in his hand, holding a pen to give instructions, and asked without raising his head.

"Since the city gate of Lucheng was captured, Gong Qingpu dispatched [-] troops to reinforce it. Gong Qingpu wanted to attack in an all-round way." Three border gates, except for Shahe, both sides of Lucheng and Jinjiling are at war. If Qing Pu really wants to attack in an all-round way, does that also mean that Xiangyun will have a large-scale increase in troops?

Gu Ye stopped writing slightly, raised his head, and narrowed his deep eyes slightly: "Is there any abnormality in Gong Qingjun?"

Nong Ju shook his head: "I've been staring at it, there's nothing wrong with it."

"Gong Qingjun is by no means an idler, let Nong Lan handle it with caution." Speaking of Gong Qingjun, Gu Ye's eyes were extremely sharp. It's not so much that he minds that Gong Qingjun holds her tightly in his hands. He said that what he really cared about was that she ignored Gong Qingjuan's calculations.

"This subordinate understands." Having said that, Nong Ju's expression became serious.

"Send the order, let people step up the action." He has been preparing for so long, and it is time to start.

Nongju raised his head, looked at Gu Ye and asked hesitantly, "I don't understand why the master brought Chu Wanyou to the Xiantong Kingdom. What if..." The master's victory over the Xiantong Kingdom is almost a sure thing. Well, why do you need to have a side branch?Everything shows that Chu Wanyou is definitely not an incompetent person. Even the master has a hard time controlling her. If something bad happens, the master will not be worth the loss.

Gu Ye half-closed his dark eyes, making Nong Ju even more puzzled.

After a long silence, Gu Ye said lightly: "It's okay, everything will go according to the original plan."

Her arrival will definitely cause changes. According to the current situation, all she can do is to delay the time, and this is exactly what he wants.

"Yes" Nongju looked at the expression of the master, and finally felt a little relieved, turned around and retreated. He was always uneasy when the master confronted Chu Wanyou. If possible, he didn't want the master to meet Chu Wanyou. If there is anything involved in Wanyou, that woman feels too dangerous to him.

After listening to Changsun Yan's words, Feng Xiuchen asked after a while: "Yan, what do you think about her statement?"

Changsun Yan's question to Feng Xiuchen seemed to have been expected. After pondering for a moment, he said, "I suggest that the emperor can give it a try."

"Oh?" Feng Xiuchen raised his eyebrows. Yanke knew that the situation was different. With her current status, what she brought might be help, or it might be the root cause of accelerating the chaos of the Xiantong Kingdom.

She is involved with the Xiangyun Kingdom, and with the Gu Family, and it is not suitable for her to reappear in the Xiantong Kingdom as her, at least not suitable to be by his side.

"For the emperor's concerns, Yan has a solution."

"what way?"

"If she really helps Xiantong Kingdom, she won't mind if she appears in the name of Chu Wanyou." Changsun Yan lowered his eyes and said.

"What if she came here specially to test for Gong Qingjun? Don't forget, even if Gong Qingjun is at war with Ruifeng Kingdom, the border gates will still be heavily guarded." Feng Xiuchen said another doubt of his, although this doubt is in his opinion. Come on, it's very small.

Changsun Yan shook his head: "No."

Feng Xiuchen opened his mouth to refute, but after thinking about it, he still didn't make a sound, no matter, the situation is different now, why should he care about Yan's unusual trust in her, besides, after so many things, Yan and her will not What a chance.

"Then it's as you said, I also want to see how she solves my most troublesome thing at present."

"Yes" Changsun Yan nodded and retreated.

Chu Wanyou dressed as a man and entered Changsun Yan's mansion again.

After entering the study, looking at Feng Xiuchen who was sitting on the main seat, Chu Wanyou did not kneel down to salute, but just nodded as a greeting.

Feng Xiuchen's black eyes flickered slightly, carefully sizing up the stunning woman in front of him who couldn't hide her stunning beauty even in men's clothes, even he who was used to seeing beauties couldn't help feeling amazed.

He somewhat understood why Yan was tempted by her at the beginning. It is indeed rare in the world for such a woman to abandon her background.

But he will never forget the way she went mad because of Li Fu's death in Gushan that day.

This woman is as beautiful as she is beautiful, but she is too dangerous and not suitable for Yan!
"Miss Chu, is there any way to solve my current embarrassment?" Although he was dissatisfied with her arrogance in his heart, but thinking about it, he also felt relieved. Strictly speaking, maybe his thinking is too old-fashioned, otherwise, she would not have left Xiantong that day, but, until now, he has no regrets, no matter how capable she is, she is not suitable to be Yan's wife Candidates.

While Chu Wanyou was looking at her at Feng Xiuchen, she was also looking at him. This was not the first time she saw Feng Xiuchen, but it was the first time she looked at him.

"Young Master Yan also informed me of the current situation. With all due respect, the Gu family's wings in the Xiantong Kingdom are nearly full. The only thing we can do now is to quell the internal chaos as soon as possible."

"It's easy to say, how to calm down this chaos?" Feng Xiuchen questioned, he has already ordered the closure of the ancient family compound, and it is impossible to take it back. If he really does this, Xiantong Kingdom is really going to perish .

Chu Wanyou pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "I have a method for reference."

When Feng Xiuchen heard this, he was refreshed, and hurriedly said: "What method?"

Chu Wanyou went to the chair and sat down, saying: "Use the emperor's imperial power to win the trust of the people, but this means that the treasury will suffer huge losses."

"What do you say?"

"From the princes and nobles, down to the common people, the overwhelming factor of panic is that their interests are threatened, and their interests are that the major banks that have been seized have their belongings. People die for money, and birds die for food. Secondly, the seized industries of all walks of life involve the interests of businessmen, dignitaries, and officials from the DPRK and China, and these two main lines are the basis for the chaos."

Feng Xiuchen was silent, of course he knew about this, but it was also mixed with Gu Ye's connections and influence.

"The emperor treats the people with sincerity, has he ever thought about distributing the money of the common people according to the account books of the bank?"

"Even if we do this to appease the common people, wouldn't it be unfair to other people?" Changsun Yan looked at Feng Xiuchen, who was lost in thought, and questioned. Don't quasi-businessmen and noble officials have more excuses to make trouble?And the most important thing is that the people occupy a very small part of the silver, and most of it is merchants.

Chu Wan cast a cold glance at the silent Feng Xiuchen and Changsun Yan, and said slowly: "The country is based on the people, and the most basic thing is to appease the people." As long as the people don't rebel, even if the businessman wants to , but also within our means.

"How should the businessman appease? How can the treasury be damaged?"

"It's very simple, double the loan, and the emperor will personally pay the IOU."

"What?" Feng Xiuchen and Changsun Yan both exclaimed.

"You are crazy. Do you know how much money was seized this time? If you double borrow it, even my treasury can't handle it."

Compared to Feng Xiuchen's excitement, Changsun Yan began to think seriously!

"You mean, a strategy to slow down the army?" Changsun Yan's eyes lit up, but then he frowned: "Then if these merchants want to withdraw the silver taels by then, the treasury will not be able to handle it at all."

Chu Wanyou cast a sidelong glance at Feng Xiuchen, and said with deep meaning: "Your majesty is the king of a country, and he values ​​the treasury so much, how can those businessmen be willing?"

Feng Xiuchen squinted his eyes, looked closely at Chu Wanyou, a flash of light flashed across his eyes, and said slowly: "If I do this, it will be equivalent to putting them under house arrest, and I will pay the price in the future."

Chu Wanyou smiled playfully: "If you withhold this batch of wealth, it is equivalent to holding the throats of these businessmen."

"No matter how dissatisfied those who are interested, because of my promise of double repayment, they dare not be dissatisfied again. In this way, a killing can be resolved without a single soldier."

Feng Xiuchen stood up excitedly, paced back and forth in the study, his mind spinning desperately, this could indeed calm down the current chaos temporarily, but at that time, double the refund... The loss of the national treasury is really not a little bit, when the time comes , within three to five years, the national treasury will be close to empty, and the country will be poor and the people will be rich...

But in general, the method is very dangerous, but as she said, it is indeed a method, at least it can solve the urgent need.

Chu Wanyou looked at Feng Xiuchen's deep thinking, and smiled slightly. Although this method is very dangerous, it is still possible to solve the urgent need. It depends on whether Feng Xiuchen dares to do so.

"Your Majesty, I just said the method. As for whether to use this method, it is not something I can decide. I will take my leave first. If there is anything, just let Mr. Yan inform you." Chu Wanyou got up and looked Seeing Feng Xiuchen said lightly.

"Why don't Wanyou just stay here?" Changsun Yan said expectantly.

"No, it's just as convenient to live outside. It seems that Emperor Feng needs time to think it through, so I'll take my leave first."

Changsun Yan's expression was a little disappointed, but he returned to normal in an instant, and stretched out his hand to her and said: "In that case, I will send you out of the house."
