The Evil Emperor Pursues His Wife: Sheng Chong Shifei

Chapter 298 Chu Qianren's Hope
All the Tianyuan powerhouses received the information, and learned the truth of the plane war from the information released by Tiangong.

To put it bluntly, this is still a war between humans. The earth was destroyed by a nano-catastrophe 50 years ago. In addition to the people who escaped in the sky, some humans who left the earth early survived.

These people have developed different coping strategies, among which two forces are the most powerful, one claims to be the Dragon Clan, and the other claims to be the Son of Gaia.

The Dragon Clan and the Sons of Gaia are two civilized countries that have developed a different-dimensional space. They always want to return to the earth and re-establish their earth civilization. This is the truth of the war that destroyed the ancient civilization.

The three forces all claim to be human orthodox, and all want to gain the dominion of the earth.

War cannot be reconciled, and peace is even more distant.

The Ma family was completely in disarray. The high-level officials held an emergency meeting and decided to send two teams to Chu and Beiman to ask for help. Even if they would be humiliated, they could not give up any hope.

The Ma family has too few resources to survive such a large-scale war.It is precisely because of such a powerful foreign enemy that the local nobles in Chu State recognize the orthodoxy of the royal family and are willing to obey the orders of the imperial court in many matters, because they cannot face the war of planes alone.

Among the missions to the capital of Chu State, two people who have not shown up for a long time are Chu Qianren, the tenth prince of Chu State, and Ma Yuhua, Princess Anyuan, who are married.

The two of them were almost guarded and boarded the carriage, and there were four earth yuan masters accompanying them, and the weapons in Chu Qianren's hands were also confiscated.

Sitting in the swaying carriage, looking at the simple interior decoration, the identity of the prisoner became more certain.

In exchange for the friendship and support of the imperial court, the Ma family has done everything they can. If the living princes were not more valuable, the heads of Chu Qianren and Ma Yuhua would be sent to the capital.

Chu Qianren held his wife tightly in his arms, unwilling to give up a little time.

After a long time, Ma Yuhua said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, it's all for me." Speaking of the reason why the imperial court and the Ma family turned against each other, it started with Ma Yuhua's hostility towards Shangguan Qing. The trivial matter turned into a rebellion by the Northwest Army, and the Ma family proclaimed themselves king.

All of this is now a crime.

"The most important thing is that we are together. Yuhua, do you still remember the summer when you first came to the capital? You were so young at that time, and I didn't look too big." Chu Qianren wanted to ease the atmosphere, but there was no able to succeed.

Ma Yuhua cried, she felt deep despair.

It's all because of Shangguan Qing. If it wasn't for that daughter who opposed her and destroyed the Ma family's business and capital chain everywhere, how could she have come to where she is today step by step? Her father Ma Yuanzheng was also killed by Shangguan Qing, and she became a member of the Ma family. sinner.

"Will Shangguan Qing be very proud if he sees us now?" Ma Yuhua felt hatred in her heart, and felt that others felt the same.

Chu Qianren was reminded by these words that he saw the hope of narrowly dying.

"Yuhua, I may have a way to save the Ma family. As long as I get in touch with them, the Ma family can persist on their own." The more Chu Qianren thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case.

Ma Yuhua asked suspiciously, "Who should I contact?"

Chu Qianren said excitedly: "Chu Qianhan and Shangguan Qing, aren't they in Qiongya? As long as you contact them, the problem can be solved."

"Impossible." Ma Yuhua was in despair.

"If you don't try, how will you know? At least you have to try." Chu Qianren didn't intend to give up, even if death was approaching, he still wanted to grasp the last ray of hope.

Chu Qianren didn't say anything, it was Ma Yuhua who had been targeting Shangguan Qing unilaterally, and Shangguan Qing had always only cared about herself, and Shangguan Qing's way of being hostile to outsiders was to directly fight back. is also like this.

According to Chu Qianren's own intelligence, the Qiongya Arsenal has been selling arms to the imperial court, and Shangguanqing has obtained many privileges as a report.

This is the best example.

As long as there are benefits, Shangguan Qing will not hold grudges, she is a woman who is used to paying attention to reality.

Unlike Ma Yuhua, seeing his wife's desperate expression, Chu Qianren was envious of Chu Qianhan's good luck for the first time, to find a woman whose intellectual achievement is not inferior to that of a man, it is really a blessing for the cold-faced king.

As soon as he thought of it, Chu Qianren began to make a plan in his heart.

The journey is long, I hope that the father will not kill him with a knife, and give him time to contact Qiongya.

At this time, Chu Qianhan and Shangguan Qing, who were missed by Chu Qianren, were busy preparing the army for war. The weapons that were originally planned to be transported to the capital were detained and prepared to be distributed to the troops below.

They are discussing to re-equip that part of the army first.

The Feng family of the Lingnan Road and the Zheng family of the East China Sea have sent important figures, and there are more than 30 wealthy families in other places, and the representatives of the Nanling Mountains are Liu Yu and Guiyan.

These people wanted to get weapons first and equip their troops. According to the long-standing practice, the leaders of the wealthy families obeyed the command of the emperor or the commander-in-chief of the road.

Chu Qianhan originally wanted to make such an arrangement, but Shangguan Qing made a brand new suggestion.

The meeting was chaotic at the beginning. Before Chu Qianhan and Shangguan Qing arrived, the Feng family and the Zheng family began to attack each other. Since Shangguan Qing sold [-] in the port tax department, ship owners under the two names came in droves. If you cannot prevent your opponent from possessing such a terrible weapon, you must possess such a weapon yourself.When they heard that they could only buy [-] after paying taxes three times, those ship owners who often evaded taxes took the initiative to ask for back taxes.

But Shangguanqing had strict orders, and there were lotus leaves watching in the tax department, no one dared to cheat for personal gain and let the shipowners go through the back door.

In the first period of time, some ship owners took [-] and robbed at sea. Many robbed ship owners went to Qiongya Yamen to file a complaint. Upon acceptance, Shangguan Qing said openly: "The navy is supported by the people with tax money. It is the navy's duty to protect taxpayers. Those who do not pay taxes are not eligible for protection."

For this reason, Shangguan Qing ordered people to erect two concrete walls with the height of two people on the pier, with big characters one person high engraved on them, one wall said: "Paying taxes is glorious." For the people, for the people."

From then on, the sea merchants who traveled from Qiongya to the first line of the capital had to pay taxes honestly, and they dared not go to sea without putting two or three [-] on board.

In the past few months, the Feng family and the Zheng family have paid the sum of the past hundred years in terms of taxes alone. There are complaints from inside and outside the family, and they all feel that Shangguan Qing's policies are too black-hearted.

The daily life of not paying taxes is the treatment that a wealthy family deserves.
