When there was heavy snow outside the pass, Xiling also snowed twice.
However, the streets and alleys of Fenggan Mansion City have long been free of snow. After the snow fell, they were cleaned up, and only the houses were covered with snow.
Pei Shiqing of the North Campus stood by the window, looking thoughtfully at the small pond covered with snow outside the window.
He was sent to Xiling by the North Court to serve as a supervising army.
But his mission here is not just to supervise the army.
To be more precise, the position of supervising army is of little importance to him. What is important is to collect more money from Xiling and transport it back to Kyoto.
Of course he knew that at this time, even taking a couple of silver from Xiling was a kind of weakening of Xiling's power, but he was just a dog ordered to do the job.
If you finish the errand, there may not be any rewards, but if you can’t do what you should do as the master tells you, then this head will definitely not be able to keep it.
The Yuwen clan has begun to migrate into the Guan.
In addition to the direct lineage of the Yuwen clan, the close relatives of the collateral line will also migrate into the customs. There are more than 400 people, old and young, who enter the customs in three batches.
The first batch of young people in the clan took the lead to prepare for the fief, and the second batch was for the young and old in the clan.
Uncle Meng, who has been in charge of Yuwen's family wealth, is the last batch.
When the old man of Yuwen set out to enter Beijing, Cao, a householder of the Duhu Fuhu, had already started handing over with Yuwen's family. All the assets of Yuwen's family such as fields, buildings, shops, horse farms, mines, etc., will be registered in the account. It is not easy to count these assets when they rush into the household, and full acceptance can not be completed in ten and a half months.
In fact, when the first snow fell in Xiling, only half of the assets were counted.
However, the antique calligraphy and painting gold and silver jewelry in the Hou Mansion were packed and put in the box early. These properties were originally sent directly to Hu Cao, but because of the appearance of Shiqing Pei, these properties were eventually transported to the post house of Fenggan Mansion.
Whether it is General Black Feather or Xiling to protect Yao Mubai, they are dissatisfied with Pei Shiqing's desire to transport Yuwen's family wealth back to Kyoto, but behind Pei Shiqing is Princess Musk Moon, and Princess Musk Moon is the jewel of the saint, who has collected these money. The purpose is also to build a royal temple for the saint. Even General Kuroba can't stop Pei Shiqing's actions.
"My lord, Yao Duhu, please see me!" The voice of his subordinates came from outside the door.
Shiqing Pei turned around and said: "Please!"
Yao Mubai, wearing a cloak, walked into the house, and Shiqing Pei smiled and said: "Master Duhu has worked hard, come here, come for tea!"
Yao Mubai untied the cloak, and a servant came up to take it.
After taking the seat, Yao Mubai said: "I wonder if Master Shiqing has anything to summon?"
"The words are heavy." Pei Shiqing understood Yao Mubai's emotions.
The Hu Cao of the Duhufu has been checking the assets with Yuwen's family in recent times. According to Shiqing Pei's intention, during the inventory process, Yuwen's farmhouses, shops, etc. can be sold as soon as possible, and the sold silver, In name, they will rush to Hu Cao, but secretly they have to go here.
Not only does the Duhufu help the North Court to search for money, but it also carries a big pot for the North Court.
"Master Yao, this time you have made great contributions to the court, and I will definitely show your merits to the princess." Pei Shiqing smiled and said: "I invite you to come today, there is one
One thing I want to understand. "He picked up the two letters prepared in the case and handed them to Yao Mubai: "Has Master Yao read these two letters? "
Yao Mubai took the letter, which had already been opened and read. He took out the letterhead, only glanced at it, his face changed suddenly, and said, "Master Shiqing, is this...?"
"I sent someone to Yuwenhou's mansion a few days ago." Shiqing Pei said with a smile: "These two letters were found in the study of Old Master Yuwen. I heard that many people have seen these two letters. , It turns out that Lord Yao hadn't seen it before."
Yao Mubai said: "When the Xiling family was offering sacrifices to the mountain, the Yuwen family suddenly got into trouble and killed the Zhen family and his son. They were accused of colluding with the Wutuo people of the Zhen family. I also heard that the old Master Yuwen took it out in public. The evidence seems to be the two secret letters, which originally fell into the hands of Master Shiqing."
"Although the old man had acted on the Zhen family without telling the Ming court in advance, it violated the national law, but he was loyal to the country after all." Shiqing Pei said calmly: "I don't know what Master Duhu thinks about these two letters? "
"I don't know what Shiqing-sama mean?" Yao Mubai knew very well that Shiqing Pei suddenly took out these two secret letters today, which must have something to do. He didn't understand Shiqing Pei's intentions for a while, and he didn't easily express his views.
Shiqing Pei smiled and said: "The evidence is solid, and the Zhen family's treason against the enemy is naturally an unforgivable sin."
"Does the court send someone to investigate?" Yao Mubai pondered slightly and said: "The Zhen family and father and son have been killed, and the Zhen family has no leader. It is said that the Zhen family is in panic and do not know what the court will do."
Shiqing Pei smiled and said: "Early this morning, I just received a verbal message from the saint that Master Yao will deal with the matter personally. You are the Xiling Protector and are most familiar with the situation in Xiling. It is up to you to decide how to deal with the Zhen family. It couldn’t be more appropriate."
Yao Mubai said in surprise: "The saint let his ministers deal with it? This... Your Majesty, although the Zhen family has surrendered to the enemy and treason, after all, the court has not sent anyone to investigate thoroughly, and there is no will to say that the Zhen family is a traitor. In addition, the Zhen family’s title has not been taken away. According to reason, the Zhen family is still a Marquis of Datang. Although the minister is the protector of Xiling, how can we directly deal with the Marquis of Faluo?"
Pei Shiqing smiled and said: "That's why these two letters will be given to you, and you will thoroughly investigate the Zhen family. Of course, the Zhen family's treason and treason is a fact. The so-called thorough investigation is just a formality. There is no way for the Zhen family to refute the evidence of the crime." After a pause, the Zhen family said: "You are invited today not to determine the Zhen family's crime, but to discuss with you how to deal with the Zhen family. The sage's oral statement is yours. I don’t know what Master Duhu has to deal with the Zhen family?"
"I really don't know what to do about this matter." Yao Mubai sighed, "Can you please give me some advice?"
"Like Master Duhu, I eat the royal salary, and only follow the court's will to do the work." Pei Shiqing calmly said: "But when the saint's verbal order came early today, the princess also sent someone Here comes a letter." This time he took a letter from his sleeve and passed it over: "Master Yao might as well take a look."
Yao Mubai took it with both hands, took out the letterhead carefully, looked at it carefully, and then returned the letterhead to Shiqing Pei, smiling bitterly: "Since the princess has all the methods to deal with, we just follow it."
"My lord is wrong." Pei Shiqing said: "The princess gave only a suggestion, and did not tell us to do this. Since the saint will deal with the rights of the Zhen family
The power is handed over to Master Yao, so everything will be done according to Master Yao's wishes. The princess sent someone to send this letter because she was worried that we might have made a mistake. It’s the best way to deal with it in this way. As for whether or not to do this, it’s up to Master Yao. If Master Yao has a better way, naturally follow Come what you mean. "
Yao Mubai smiled faintly: "The construction of the imperial imperial temple is just to transport the Yuwen family's assets to Kyoto. I am afraid that there is still a gap. If the Zhen family is stolen, the cost of building the imperial imperial temple is more than enough, and perhaps a lot more can be sent in. The treasury can be used to deploy and conquer Murong in southern Xinjiang."
Pei Shiqing smiled and said: "Master Yao is indeed very wise. Yes, the construction of the royal temple requires more than three million taels of silver. If these expenses can be raised in Xiling, there is no need to use the court's silver. It couldn't be better."
"Master Shiqing, it seems that you really want to wipe out Xiling during this trip." Yao Mubai sneered: "The wealth of Yuwen's family and Zhen's family are sent to Kyoto, so do you want to join the Fan family? Copy it?"
Pei Shiqing frowned and said indifferently: "The Fan family is a hero of the court, and they have secretly shown their loyalty to the court many years ago. This time General Black Feather can return to Xiling, and the Fan family has made great contributions. They not only assisted General Black Feather. Returning to Xiling, and voluntarily requesting to move into the customs, that is a great loyal minister, how can he rob the Fan family?"
Someone had already brought tea at this time, Pei Shiqing picked up the teacup and said, "I heard that the Fan family and the Fanjun family donated half a million taels of silver to recruit General Black Feather to buy horses. Did General Er Hei Yu mentioned to Master Yao?"
"There is this matter." Yao Mubai said: "The Fan family wants to move into the customs, but the other families in Fan County still have to stay in Xiling, donating silver to let General Heiyu recruit troops to buy horses, even if they defend Xiling, they are actually protecting Xiling. They." After a pause, suddenly smiled: "Sir Shiqing can receive an invitation from Chang Renhou?"
Shiqing Pei nodded and said: "I just received it two days ago. Mrs. Fan has her 80th birthday, and it happens to be on the 30th day of the New Year. This is a coincidence."
"After the beginning of the new year, the Fan family will relocate and enter the customs. This time, the Chang Renhou will invite us to the 80th birthday of the old lady. It is a farewell banquet." Yao Mubai stroked his beard: "Fan family It is from Xiling’s century-old family. Now that we are about to leave Xiling, I hope to walk more decently. General Black Feather and I have received invitations. He knows that Lord Shiqing has already arrived in Xiling, so he also invited you to the banquet. Before I leave, the wind is beautiful."
"The sky is cold and the ground is freezing, and the weather in Fanjun is even colder." Pei Shiqing sighed: "I am a southerner, and I am most resistant to the cold. Although I received the invitation, I have not decided to go."
Yao Mubai smiled and said: "Master Shiqing is wrong. Aren’t you worrying about the cost of building the royal temple? If you go here in person, you will be able to give you a lot of face, and he will be moved, maybe If you can donate 500,000 taels of silver to build the royal temple, even if you don’t have 500,000 taels, one hundred thousand taels of silver should always be honored to you."
"Oh?" Pei Shiqing naturally heard that Yao Mubai's words were slightly mocking, and didn't care, and smiled: "If you go to the show, you can get one hundred thousand taels of silver, even if you go through fire and water, you have to go. For the saints and princesses, I would not hesitate to be broken into pieces, let alone to attend the birthday of Mrs. Fan."
