Fortunate Young Gentleman

Chapter 594 of the main volume of Ruyi Xiaolangjun The emperor is shocked! In the room, Bai Jin looked at Su Mei and asked: "With your appearance, what kind of man can't be found? Why did you choose him?"

The corners of Su Mei's lips curved up, and she chuckled: "He is good to me."

Bai Jin said: "As long as you are willing, there will be someone who treats you better than him."

Su Mei shook her head and said, "But they are not him."

"The word love hurts people." Bai Jin looked at her and said, "Your qualifications are much better than those of Gongsun Ying back then. Gongsun Ying was misled by love. I hope you will not follow in her footsteps."

Su Mei raised her head and looked at her and said, "I think Master Gongsun has a more interesting life than you..."

Bai Jin frowned and asked, "Her?"

"She at least knows what liking means." Su Mei looked at her and asked curiously: "Have you ever liked someone in your life?"

Bai Jin said indifferently: "No."

"Boring woman." Su Mei stood up, waved her hands lazily, and said, "Go to bed..."

She kicked off her shoes, was too lazy to take off her clothes, and wrapped herself in the quilt. There was no warm quilt tonight. She curled up, closed her eyes, and said, "Remember to close the door when you leave..."

Bai Jin stood up, walked to the door, waved his sleeves, and turned off the oil lamp on the table.

She closed the door but did not leave immediately.

She raised her head and glanced at the clear moon in the sky. Thinking of Su Mei's question just now, a figure appeared in her mind.

The figure had long been blurred and could not be seen clearly. It vaguely looked like a young boy. She could no longer remember what happened to that boy. She only vaguely remembered a bright smile. That was also the smile from decades ago. This smile Everything else has long since disappeared along with the past events...

…

Su Mei didn't come over last night. When Tang Ning got up in the morning, she gently pushed away Tang Yaoyao, who was holding him between her two long legs and putting an arm on his chest. She got out of bed and walked out of the room.

Chen Zhou had been waiting outside for a long time. He handed him a secret letter and said, "Sir, this is what Senior Gongsun sent back quickly."

Gongsun Ying went out to perform a secret mission. Tang Ning opened the secret letter and found that the content in the letter was not much different from what he expected.

The top general of the Taizhou garrison and several of his subordinate generals were bewitched, and a force secretly forced them to obey orders.

Gongsun Ying helped them get rid of the poison, and then rushed to the next state. Prince Qian was so confident in this rebellion that he would not only control one Taizhou.

In addition, some news also came from Runzhou.

There are rumors that the emperor sent people to the south of the Yangtze River this time to seize money from the wealthy gentry and wealthy people in the south of the Yangtze River to fill the empty treasury. The officials and businessmen whose homes were ransacked are examples.

The national treasury is out of money, so it will pay attention to the gentry and wealthy people. Later, it will increase mining and commercial taxes, etc., in order to use Jiangnan to replenish the national treasury...

As soon as this news came out, people in Runzhou were suddenly panicked.

After enjoying generous treatment for many years, the local wealthy families and wealthy businessmen naturally do not want to suffer losses and suffer losses for nothing.

The common people were even more panicked. Although these measures taken by the court would not fall on them, it was obvious that the losses suffered by the wealthy families would be made up for by them. In the final analysis, these measures would still have the greatest impact on them.

The four major families have been based in Runzhou for many years and have already divided up the cake. Runzhou's wealthy gentry all follow the four major families. Each of them affects one party. This time, the rumors first came from the Su family's territory. What was spread here quickly spread to other places, spreading throughout Runzhou.

Outside Runzhou City, in a field somewhere, two farmers were squatting on the ground chatting after working.

"I heard that the imperial court is going to attack Jiangnan this time, and the future will not be easy..."

"Jiangnan supports and provides for the imperial court. It's not enough for them to use our money and take our food. Now they want to drink our blood and eat our flesh. The people in the north are human beings, but the people in Jiangnan are not human beings." ?"

"If you don't give the people a good life, they are still trying to make things difficult for us. What's the use of such a court? It's better to do the opposite..."

"Hey, don't say this nonsense..."

"Why are you talking nonsense? If you change the court, maybe life will be easier..."

…

When they said this, the two of them couldn't help lowering their voices. After they couldn't hear what they said, Tangning walked through the path in the fields and got into a carriage on the official road.

The Su family chose to help the Crown Prince of Guizhou to rebel, using the same old trick of inciting public opinion.

The reason why routines become routines is because they work. When the Crown Prince of Guizhou rebels, a thousand soldiers and horses can suppress it. When the people of Jiangnan rebel, ten times as many elite soldiers have to be sent here.

Ultimately, this is a matter of public opinion.

Tangning was not worried about Jiangnan. Everything here was within his expectation and control. What he was worried about was the North and the Western Regions.

The North and the Western Regions rebelled, and Jiangnan rebelled again, which only made matters worse. If Jiangnan did not rebel, Chen State would still face chaos in the northwest. If he was unprepared for this, he would be caught off guard by both sides. By the time the court reacted, the northwest would be The land completely fell into the hands of others.

Calculating the time, the secret letter should be sent to the capital, hoping to attract Emperor Chen's attention and make early preparations.

Capital.

After Prime Minister Feng resigned and a group of Jiangnan officials were dismissed, the capital has been really quiet for a while. The only thing that is not peaceful is that some people living along the street are always awakened by strange movements outside at night.

Those who were more courageous looked through the cracks in windows and doors and saw carriages passing through the streets late at night, heading towards the palace...

The people have different opinions about this. Some people say that this is the elixir of immortality that His Majesty ordered to be refined. Some people say that it is a secret treasure sent as tribute from the Western Regions... After all, guessing is just guessing as to what is in those boxes. , still a mystery...

In the royal study room in the palace, Chen Huang looked at a list in front of him and couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

After Tang Ning arrived in Jiangnan, in the past few months, people had been brought back one after another, totaling 18 million taels of gold and silver, and various rare treasures worth more than 10 million taels.

In other words, Tang Ning alone supported Chen Guo's tax revenue for three years.

All the money went into the inner palace. As an emperor, he has never been so rich. Emperor Chen stood up and said: "It is difficult for him to be promoted in a short time. When he comes back this time, should I give him a title?" Jue’s…”

As soon as he finished speaking, a eunuch hurried in, held up a secret letter, and said: "Your Majesty, Runzhou 800 Li is urgent!"

Chen Huang sat back and said loudly: "Send it up!"

A few days ago, he did not send a message urgently for 800 miles for the five million taels of silver shipped from Quzhou. Is it so solemn this time that it exceeds 10 million taels?

The eunuch hurriedly handed over the secret letter. Emperor Chen couldn't wait to tear open the envelope and cast his eyes on it.

"The Western Regions, the grasslands, the south of the Yangtze River..."

The next moment, he stood up suddenly and looked at the secret message in his hand. His eyesight turned black and he couldn't help but feel dizzy. After taking a few steps back, he fell directly to the ground.

Wei Jian's expression changed drastically, he hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said anxiously: "Imperial Physician, tell the Imperial Physician quickly..."
