The Golden Age Chapter 83: Reuse

Wei Wuya looked solemnly and said: "The saint is going to let Qin Xiao control the military power in Jiangnan?"

"The three states in the south of the Yangtze River are headed by Hangzhou." The sage said calmly: "Qin Xiao reversed the case in Hangzhou this time, and it was very satisfying. If he came forward, the Hangzhou clan would naturally be willing to send military funds. These years, the court has also been from the south of the Yangtze River. They have collected a lot of money. If the court continues to collect money from them, it will make the whole Jiangnan family resentful, and even make people all over the world feel that the court is exhausted, which is not good for the court."

Although Wei Wuya has been in the palace, he knows everything about the world and knows that what the saint said is not unreasonable.

Jiangnan has always been a rich place for Datang. After the saint became the throne, the exploitation of Jiangnan has become even more serious.

The Jiangnan aristocratic family not only had to bear heavy taxes, but also often volunteered to donate a large amount of property at the imperial cue. However, for many years, the imperial court would not directly reach out to the Jiangnan family. The saint had always used Princess Musk to draw from Jiangnan. blood.

The Jiangnan family may not be willing, but they are helpless.

After all, the knife is in the hands of the court.

Although the Jiangnan aristocratic family is the richest group of people in the entire Tang Dynasty, it is also the group that faces the greatest pressure from the court. The Jiangnan aristocratic family naturally understands the truth of their crimes. Since they are in the richest place in the Tang Dynasty, It was a matter of course for the court to **** blood from them.

For so many years, the princess has been standing in the front and has become a tool for the saint to ask for from Jiangnan.

However, the turmoil in Suzhou has clearly made the saint aware of the princess's threat to himself. Once the banner of the Datang princess is raised, it does pose a huge threat to the court. In this case, the saint naturally needs to remove the princess. Xue was hidden, at least no longer allowing the princess to hold a big cake like Jiangnan in her hands.

Princess Xue Zang, but it does not mean that the request for Jiangnan has been interrupted.

"I seem to have despised the Jiangnan sect." The sage has a sharp gaze and slowly said: "In recent years, Jiangnan has paid a lot of taxes and donated money, but the rebellion in Suzhou made me discover that, even so, those families It is still a wealthy country. How can the Qian family make trouble in Suzhou if they don’t have a wealth of tens of millions?"

"So An Xinghou launched a mass murder in Hangzhou, but the saint didn't stop it?"

"I don't want the wealth of those families in the south of the Yangtze River to be on par with the imperial court." The saint sighed softly: "There are two sharpest weapons in the world, one is silver, and the other is a knife. Xia Houning went to Hangzhou to arrest the family and confiscate them. I actually don’t like this method of family wealth. This method is too direct. Although it will rob a lot of money, it will also cause serious damage to Jiangnan. It is not a last resort. I don’t want to use this method to clean up the situation in Jiangnan." After a pause, I continued: "It's just that I really don't want the Jiangnan family to continue to have the wealth of an enemy country. So although Xiahouning's methods are a bit too much, I did not stop it."

Wei Wuya nodded slightly, understanding the saint's intentions.

Using Xiahouning to plunder large sums of wealth from the south of the Yangtze River is certainly one of the saint’s purposes, but this is not the main purpose. The Jiangnan chaos made the saint truly fearful of the wealthy Jiangnan chaebols, so she The Jiangnan family must be severely suppressed.

It’s just that the saint also understands in his heart, Xiahou

Ning's methods will inevitably cause severe damage to Jiangnan.

If you have gains, you will lose. Jiangnan is the empire's treasury. The sage does not want Jiangnan to be truly depressed, but compared to the threat to the empire, the sage is still willing to choose Jiangnan to suffer destruction.

If after the rebellion, let Princess Musk Moon regain the situation in the south of the Yangtze River, or even collect money from Jiangnan by means of relaxation, it would naturally be a way, but the saint has become wary of Princess Musk Moon, and obviously does not want Princess Musk Moon Continue to blend Jiangnan affairs.

"Although Qin Xiao was sent to Hangzhou by She Yue, his methods have made me very pleased." The saint sighed quietly: "Compared to Xia Houning, Qin Xiao buying the hearts of Hangzhou family members is more beneficial to the court. These days Every day, Hangzhou papers are presented. I did not send anyone to prevent Qin Xiao from reversing the case for the Hangzhou family. Do you know why?"

Wei Wuya said: "The sage has a long-term vision and has been paying attention to the movement over there, hoping to see which method of handling An Xinghou and Qin Xiao is more beneficial to the court."

"Yes." The sage nodded slightly: "Qin Xiao did not disappoint me. The notes sent from Hangzhou also made it very clear that Qin Xiao not only made Hangzhou officials back home, but also the Hangzhou family and even the people saved him. With gratitude, this is not something everyone can do. I even think that the Hangzhou family’s gratitude to Qin Xiao may have exceeded their awe for Musk Moon."

Wei Wuya whispered: "So the saint is going to reuse Qin Xiao?"

"It depends on whether An Xinghou's assassination has anything to do with him." The saint said calmly: "If there is really nothing to do with him, I will satisfy his wish and let him raise funds to build a new army in Jiangnan. It’s better to let the Jiangnan family take the initiative to send money up than to grab it."

There are some things the saint doesn't need to say too clearly, Wei Wuya also knows it well.

Xia Huning led the troops to Hangzhou. He was carrying a knife to rob the family’s wealth, no doubt with the robbers, but Qin Xiao bought people’s hearts in Jiangnan and asked the Jiangnan family to take the initiative to hand in the money in the name of preparing for the establishment of a new army. These two methods Of course, Qin Xiao's skills are superior.

Once it is successfully implemented, not only can Qin Xiao be used to **** blood from the Jiangnan family and weaken the financial resources of the Jiangnan family, but it can indeed recruit a soldier for the court.

This soldier and horse can let Qin Xiao go to make preparations, but the court still has the final say in whose hands the military power will fall.

Xiling was lost, and the court did not move. Of course, it was not that the saint did not want to send troops. It was forced by the situation to make the saints have no soldiers. Once there is a soldier and horse, there is no need to spend a couple of silver from the court, and one day it may even be able to recover Xiling. For Datang and the saints, of course it is something to be desired.

Xiling is regained, and the saint will definitely keep his name in the history books. This will also become a great achievement praised by the saint. The aspiring emperors from all over the ages naturally hope to have great achievements and great achievements to be praised by future generations.

"The saint ordered Qin Xiao to build a new army in the south of the Yangtze River. This is naturally not a bad thing. It is just that the entire military power of the south of the Yangtze River will be handed over to Qin Xiao. Will there be any hidden dangers?" Wei Wuya pondered slightly before whispering. : "This foreign country should also oppose such a decision."

The saint sneered and said, “I’m up to him to oppose the matter that I decide?” After a short pause, he said: “However, after the assassination case of An Xinghou has been investigated, we must confirm Qin Xiao. With

This matter has nothing to do with it. In this way, there is no reason for the Prime Minister to object. But your worries are not wrong. The preparation of the new army is certainly not a bad thing, but it can't all be left to Qin Xiao. You should consider it and choose a competent person, and then go to Jiangnan to supervise the army. "

Wei Wuya bowed and said: "The old slave abides by the decree."

"On the other side of Hangzhou, they immediately delivered an order to **** An Xinghou's body back to Beijing." The saint thought for a while: "You also immediately send Xiao Jianzhi to take people to Hangzhou. Be sure to rush to Anxing. Before the wound is damaged, check the remains carefully. The assassin is a master of the great heaven realm, I really want to know, who is going to be my enemy?"

"The old slave has previously explained Xiao Jianzhi and asked him to select the manpower and prepare to set off for Hangzhou." Wei Wuya respectfully said: "The old slave immediately let the flying pigeon pass the book to the south of the Yangtze River, and let them **** An Xinghou. Back to Beijing, Xiao Jianzhi will leave overnight tonight. He should be able to meet him halfway, and he can be examined immediately."

"Whether I met on the way or not, after examining the corpse, let Xiao Jianzhi go to Jiangnan." The saint said lightly: "Let him bring Musk back to Beijing, let him tell Musk, I am very worried about her, and I want to see him as soon as possible. When it comes to her, Jiangnan affairs, she doesn't have to worry about it anymore."

Wei Wuya bowed his head and said nothing.

The saint’s decree has not yet arrived in Hangzhou, but Zhonglang General Qiao Ruixin has led his troops to **** An Xinghou's body back to Kyoto.

He also knew in his heart that An Xinghou’s death was a terrifying event, and the court must trace the real murderer, and An Xinghou’s body must also be checked. If he stays still, in this hot summer day, An Xinghou's body is really going to be damaged, and I really can't bear the responsibility.

But Zuo Xuanji, the great general of the Shence Army, did not make him withdraw, and the court had no other will. After thinking and thinking, he finally made a decision. The five thousand Shence Army, he led two thousand soldiers and horses to personally **** An Xinghou. His body returned to Beijing, and the remaining three thousand people were handed over to the commander of the Lang general Zhou Xing, who continued to stay in Hangzhou City.

He knows that the Shence Army will continue to stay in Hangzhou and will definitely encounter a lot of troubles. After all, Qin Xiao’s living person is embarrassed by the Shence Army at all times. Even if he stays in Hangzhou, he can’t ask for anything from Qin Xiao. Benefits, not to mention Zhou Xing under his own hands.

But at this time, you must bite the bullet and hold on, unless you wait for Zuo Xuanji or even the court's order to withdraw troops.

He was afraid that Zhou Xing would be arrogant and cause trouble in Hangzhou, so he told him repeatedly that no matter what happened, he must bear the humiliation and one day, he would repay the humiliation ten times to Qin Xiao.

After the arrangements were made, Qiao Ruixin chose to guard Xiahouning's coffin out of the city overnight.

After Xia Houning was assassinated, the news has been kept secret and he dared not publicize it, so not many people knew about it. Even the two thousand soldiers and horses who escorted the coffin back to Beijing this time almost did not know, Qiao Ruixin specially asked I found a large carriage, a double horse-drawn carriage, and placed the coffin on the carriage. It was guarded by the three personal guards who followed Xia Huning to Hangzhou day and night. From the outside, there was no coffin in the car.

Ice cubes were naturally placed in the coffin to keep the corpse intact. In addition, a lot of ice cubes were specially found for storage. He had to add ice cubes to the coffin on the way. He knew that if the corpse was transported to Kyoto, it would be hot. Corruption is unnatural, and the first person the minister wants to kill is himself.
