Chapter 13 Murder (1)(1/2)
Chapter 113 Killing (Part 1)
Zhu Tong only stayed in Luoyang for one night and left the next day.
There is no need to stay in Luoyang anymore. After receiving a reply from Wei, he also expressed his actions of "Love the Story" Princess, achieving his goal.
Many people wanted to make friends, and some people were watching, unlike Lingzhou, which was under the emperor's nose, so they hesitated for a moment. When they heard Zhu Tong leave immediately, they were very shocked.
But this added another bucket of oil to the fierce battle in the court.
Not many people can detect that there will be major changes in the country. Apart from some sincere confidants, there will be no more than five people who are intuitive.
It’s not that the ministers have no wisdom, but that the empress who dared to murder the emperor has been searching through history books and has not been found since ancient times.
Emperor Hui of Jin was like this, and Jia Nanfeng only killed the prince and did not dare to kill her husband.
It was Li Zhi's death, and there were rumors outside. But these ministers clearly knew in their hearts that someone deliberately slandered Wu Zetian. In fact, Li Zhi died of illness. After more than ten years of illness, Wu Zetian almost covered the sky in the court. Moreover, she was cruel and decisive, even worse than Wei's, and she didn't dare to attack the Taifu. Besides, Wei's.
Therefore, seeing the emperor begin to "awaken", one by one, one cheers up and starts to fight against the Wei Party. This was originally good, but the Wei Party may not be without talent, and Qingliu may not be talented. The same quality is not the same. Some have a longer vision and can see more things. Some are purely following behind to join in the fun.
Anyone who agrees with the Wei Party immediately opposes. Anyone who opposes the Wei Party immediately agrees.
As a result, the court affairs were even more unable to be judged, and the official documents of the three provinces and six ministries were piled up, and the situation worsened.
On the third day, when the ministers began to quarrel again, Zhang Jiuling and Yan Tingzhi looked at each other.
They were thinking about what Zhu Tong and they said the night before yesterday: "Zhang Langjun, Yan Langjun, you don't believe what I said. Mr. Wang is your uncle, nor do you believe it. This doesn't matter. The Zhuge brothers each plotted three masters, and it was said to be historical. But you remember what Mr. Wang said, "Great loyalty is like a treacherous, and a treacherous is like a loyalty. After you arrive in the court, open your eyes wide and see if the so-called Qingliu is cheering his master, seeking promotion and wealth, or are you really thinking about the country and doing practical things?"
Seeing this in the court situation, both of them were a little dim.
However, because of Wang Hua, they didn't dare to interrupt, and this time they didn't want to participate.
At this moment, Dou Congyi stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have a memorial."
"Come on," Li Xian said weakly.
"The day before yesterday, Wang Hua sent his aide Zhu Tong to Luoyang with a grand gift to offer his Majesty and propose to the princess. Now Wang Hua has nearly 100,000 soldiers in Lingzhou and more than one million people in the twenty-three states. It seems to be a serious illness of the country. According to the opinions of the ministers, it is better to let him get what he wants and marry the princess to seek the court's recruitment, so that he and his elite soldiers and generals will return to the court's embrace. This is the most urgent task."
It should be seen from the appearance that Wang Hua is sincere this time. Ninety-nine exquisite inkstones represent the meaning of eternity. These inkstones are of no ordinary quality. The lowest one on the market is worth nearly a hundred guan, and the highest one is nearly a thousand guan. Even if such a high price is worth ten gold (about eighty guan), the price is still unchanged.
The total price of these boxes of inkstones is more than 10,000 yuan.
What other perfumes do not take up much volume, and the price may be above the inkstone.
Then when it comes to shuizhu, the technicians are exquisite, and the big food is the most powerful. The first is Liangzhou in the Tang Dynasty, and the second is Taiyuan. However, after Wang Hua's skillful hand, the shuizhu technology is now slimly similar to the big food. Of course, it is not that the big food shuizhu has no market. This is an exotic style, just like the big food pottery, which is obviously not as good as the Tang Dynasty porcelain, but the Tang Dynasty people also spent money to buy it back to enjoy it. Later, Wang Hua went to the northwest, Huizhou, Shanzhou and Lanzhou were not far from Liangzhou. There was originally a foundation for making shuizhu, so Wang Hua pointed out again. Lingzhou shuizhu later came from above, and now it is similar to Taiyuan Liangzhou, and it is also a key profit-making project for the twenty-three states.
This time, Wang Hua brought dozens of caravans, all of which were fine products, and the total price would reach tens of thousands of dollars.
However, this time Wang Hua had his intention, and this move was advertised. The wool came from the sheep.
When it comes to horses, the price of two thousand excellent war horses is not mentioned. Even these old horses and injured horses are not less than a dozen pieces in Luoyang, and the total price reaches more than 200,000 pieces.
But compared with dozens of cars of gem coral and high-end glass products, it may be far inferior, especially the two cars of gems, which are precious rubies, sapphires and emeralds, as well as brightly colored colored gems (opal), and even a few large pieces of chalcedony were seen.
This is asking Li Guer. If you are asking for others, whether it is Guanzhong Siwang or the seven surnames and ten families, you can send these betrothal gifts to the door, and the patriarchs of these families can shout out all the girls who have not been settled in the family and let them choose.
This time, the total cost is nearly 800,000 yuan.
Li Hong once complained to Wang Hua for this, and Wang Hua said: "If you don't value such a respect, Wei will doubt it."
Although he spent a lot of money, it was still insignificant compared to the "pension" of the imperial court. Besides, Wang Hua is not short of money now, and the finances of the twenty-three states have gradually become balanced. Wang Hua dared not say the benefits brought by Oceania, for fear of jealousy.
It only costs a lot of money, which is not much more than it affects the country's destiny.
In fact, Li Hong has not yet understood that although Oceania is developing rapidly, its main export target is the Tang Dynasty. It has not yet been independent yet, and it is also a dodder.
Dou Chong finished saying one by one, and the court calmed down.
No matter how much you fight, Wang Hua's placement has become a taboo in the heart of the clear and turbid flow.
Even Qingliu didn't dare to do two things like before. After all, the reason why Wang Hua fled to the northwest was mainly caused by Wei's killing him. But there was another reason, because Wu Zetian's three-year agreement had never married Li Guer. Otherwise, once he became Li Guer's real husband, Wei would have some reluctance. That is, when Zong Chuke and the Wei family wanted to frame Wang Hua, they had their same concerns, and things would not evolve to the worst.
It turns out that the objection was because of the face of the court. The alliance under the city did not count. If the princess was married, the face of the country would be thrown into Java.
Now that the peace agreement is completed, Wang Hua accepted the order from the court, handed over the horse farm, and the officials also successfully entered the Twenty-Three Prefectures. With the cooperation of Zhang Shuo and others, they took office one by one, and even Zhang Shuo even passed on the message back that if the court "subsidizes" the cost, Wang Hua would hand over some of the weapons and cannons to the court. It was just because the craftsmanship was not mature, and the number of the Twenty-Three Prefectures itself was insufficient, and it would be the year after year. In short, this was a development on the positive side. Otherwise, Wang Hua would definitely firmly disagree to give up part of the weapons to the court.
Besides, he had reason. The Tubo people have not yet been defeated and the princess has not brought it back. She himself needs a large number of weapons.
Therefore, at this time, the conditions for marrying the princess are ripe, and even if you want to oppose it, you have no way to oppose it.
Besides, even Qingliu knew that he could not afford to offend Wang Hua at this time. With such a powerful force, he is now standing by and watching, but if he turns to that side, that side will immediately add a very heavy weight. Even if Wang Hua is interested and supports Li Chongfu, he can make Li Chongfu have the ability to join this competition and become a powerful character.
But all the spirit is still deep in the bones. If it was proposed by them, they would naturally support it. Dou Congyi proposed it, these people were not happy. For a few people, there is another reason, that is, Li Chiying now heard that the Blood Camp in Lingzhou intends to promote her as her mistress. Once Li Guer and Wang Hua get married, this has become a variable that cannot be scrambled.
Still support it, why not? I immediately sent an imperial envoy to inquire. If Wang Hua agrees, most of the mansion in Luoyang belongs to a princess. The court will take out money to renovate it and become the son-in-law's mansion, so that Wang Hua can go to Beijing to get married.
Dou Congyi thought it was nonsense. Don’t look at Wang Hua, now the king of the Northwest, and someone has weapons in his hand, that’s the king. When he arrived in Luoyang, he was nothing. It could become the fish on the chopping board and be slaughtered. Can he return to Luoyang to get married?
But according to the rules, this must be done. Dou Congyi had nothing to say.
He sat down and said nothing, so the matter was as effective as before, and it ended in fruitlessness.
Later, when Li Dan learned about this, he regretted it.
Li Longji found two good helpers, Wang Maozhong and Li Yide, Gong, and Xue Chongxun and Princess Taiping's two sons, Xue Chongxun and Xue Chongxun, secretly formed a bridge between Gao Lishi, re-connected with a group of low-level generals of the Yulin Army.
But this time I did it very secretly, and I met tacitly, and then I drank and sensation together, or competed for my skills.
Wang Maozhong and Li Yide are both enemies of hundreds of people. According to Wang Hua's words, they are just martial arts masters, and their skills are no less than those who are killed by Wang Hua. The skills of the two immediately aroused the admiration of these generals. However, these two people are very good at being human. For example, when they make an appointment to shoot archery, they deliberately shoot with these people in a tie. Everyone lifts the flower sedan chair, and after comparing their skills, they go to drink, and then whisper around. You are Li Guang, and I am Ma Chao, but no one has the ability to know them, so they are buried.
The girl who was blowing and drinking was blushing.
Then pay for them generously.
Because these two people have very strange faces, although they are guarding against Princess Taiping, they have not been guarding against Li Dan and his son seriously. They all think that Wang and Li are the disciples of Princess Taiping. In addition, they are all ridiculous, and they are all playing tricks one by one. Although some people pay attention, they can immediately let them go.
As a result, some grassroots generals were gradually brought to their hands.
This gave Li Dan and Princess Taiping a glimmer of hope, but their original strength was weak, and their power in the Yulin Army was still very weak. Moreover, these people may not be reliable. They are willing to accompany them when drinking flowers, wine, and they may not be able to work hard to make great achievements with them.
Of course, as long as Wang Hua intervenes and has confidence in his heart, these Yulin Army generals will immediately change their attitude.
So Li Dan needs time.
He could see at a glance what kind of play Wei was singing, and he took advantage of the conflicts in the court, making the princess unable to marry her successfully, and showed her attitude to Wang Hua.
If I had known this, I would have instructed everyone to agree together to see what my sister-in-law would do and whether she would marry Li Guer to Lingzhou.
Wei Shi got this effect and got what he wanted.
She immediately sent someone to Lingzhou to tell Wang Hua about this matter, and promised again that by the end of this year, she would overcome the opposition of the ministers and marry Guer to him. Then she said more explicitly: "Not only will you marry, but Gu and Your Majesty will hand over the country to Guer's governance a hundred years later. With the great talent of Jun, you will be Guer's capable arm. After these things, Jun still misses Guer, which made Guer very regretful and moved. The happiest thing is that Guer feels relieved when he sees this."
Wang Hua still said the same thing, come politely, you said you want to discuss marriage, I have sent so many things over, and now it’s up to you, I will believe it only after marrying Guer.
After receiving Wang Hua's reply, Wei did not get angry because Wang Hua was tough, but instead found Li Xian. The two sat down to talk about Li Guer. Li Xian agreed with Li Guer's marriage to Wang Hua. Since Wang Hua so valued his daughter, he could tie Wang Hua's fierce horse a little through his daughter, so he could not let him run too far.
But as soon as his wife spoke, Li Xian was suspicious and didn't know what his wife was planning, so she didn't say anything.
So Wei sent someone to Lingzhou and told Wang Hua that he had talked with His Majesty and advised him, but His Majesty did not speak. Or do you have any good solutions?
These two times, Wei's calculations were very accurate, and his understanding of people's hearts reached the extreme. In this way, Wang Hua would blame him, and he could blame Li Dan and others for his subordinates, or Li Xian. This also laid the foundation for the next plan.
But her fate was not good, but Wang Hua knew how Li Xian died in history, and she knew that she ignored the country's betrayal of the blood camp. She also heard her tell herself that the knife and arrow on the Tianjin Bridge was sent by someone to teach her.
So no matter how Wang Hua arranged it, she was a dead figure. All of her clevernesses played the piano against cows.
Wang Hua continued to pretend to be stupid and said, "What are the good ways for me? Could it be that I will be able to come to Luoyang? Don't tell me that I will be safe after I arrive in Luoyang."
After saying that, he took out the two gold medals of avoiding death and placed them in front of the eunuch.
The eunuch had to leave again. Although Wei sent people to come here, although he did not hear Wang Hua's accurate reply, unlike the first time, he did very high-profile these two times, and almost everyone knew about this.
Similarly, Wei Shi also achieved her goal, that is, Wang Hua did not support her. Because of these two visits and recurrences, others would also think that Wang Hua and Wei Shi had made a deal. At least this potential influence made her grasp it.
At the end of winter, when the second group of people returned to Luoyang, another person also arrived in the capital.
Song Jing had just arrived in Qinzhou, and many people were very suspicious.
Of course, the ability to make money in the Song Dynasty was definitely not as good as that of Wang Hua. Wang Hua was not only making money, but mainly open source. These two things were combined, and then money was turned into a snowball. With money in your hands, it was easy to do things.
However, the Song Dynasty had the specialties of the Song Dynasty. He was honest and loved the people. He could not make money, so he protected Wang Hua's wealth. That is, after Wang Hua appeared in Lingzhou, the court went to check the assets, joined forces with the Wang family in Taiyuan and other families, and sent the people from the court away.
Another thing is that under his rule, officials are more honest and government agencies are more effective.
The two people have different ways of governing, just like Bao Zheng treats Kaifeng with strictness and Ouyang Xiu treats Kaifeng with quietness, both of which have achieved good results.
It didn't take three years. After only three months, the people of Qinzhou finally felt what it means to have a good time.
In recent years, the tax paid in Qinzhou Dazhi last year reached more than two million yuan, almost twice that of Guangzhou. It is not that Qinzhou has more money than Guangzhou, but that it has been embezzled.
But Song was also very worried. Too many things happened in the court. First, the death of the five kings, and even if Old Wei had not been given advice from Wang Hua, he would have forced him to death. Later, Wang Hua returned to the capital and almost said nothing. However, it was like this, forced him to leave the palace.
Wang Hua has the ability to fight out of the palace, can he do it? I guess a soldier would catch his little arms and legs when he came up (Song Jing is very thin).
But he did not doubt Wang Hua, but knew that Wang Hua did not show any respect for the court. Even when Wang Hua sent troops to Chang'an, he still did not doubt. Later, he wrote a letter mainly because Wang Hua extorted the imperial court too much.
No matter what, he is now happy in Qinzhou, and the people love him, and is far away from the court, so he understands what a wonderful path Wang Hua arranged for himself.
But all this was broken by an imperial edict from the court.
He didn't dare to disobey the imperial edict, so he had to start moving forward slowly.
The people of Qinzhou were displeased when they heard this.
It turned out that Qinzhou was very backward. Now that there were ports, merchants from all directions lived here, and they were very informed. Only then did they know that there were not many good officials like Xiang Wanghua and the Song Dynasty, and there were almost few in the Tang Dynasty. Not only did they meet two in a row, but it was a rare thing for hundreds of years.
To be continued...
