Records of the King of Xin'an County

Although the results were far less than expected, the sage did not seem to be disappointed.He put all the important officials back in the political affairs hall and their respective official offices, and let them continue to handle government affairs, leaving only his nephew Li Hui, the king of Xin'an County, and the prince of the supervisory censor to accompany him.As for how these important ministers feel about the matter just now, only they themselves know.

After glancing at the silk with Li Huiji's name on it, the sage ordered him to take it to the third division as a witness: "Let the Dali Temple examine it carefully, and compare it with the statements of those people before, to see if there is anything slipping through the net. If they should If they are really accomplices, they will be dealt with according to the law, and they will all be exiled to a wild land—" Since none of the chief rebels was executed, the accomplices can also be forgiven.However, for many people who grew up in rich and noble towns, going to a barren land to seek a living is no different from death, and it may even be a bit more miserable than death.

"Then... what about Princess Anxing? Uncle really wants to let her go?" Li Hui couldn't help asking.It is clear that the previous plan was to get news of another mastermind through the confession of Princess Anxing.But she always denied it, and she completely shirked the charges of treason and treason, and just threw out some pawns as a price.

If you are so stubborn, how can you talk about regret?How can I change it?What about understanding?The tearful appearance just now was nothing more than she used her womanly weakness to win the sympathy of the sage and all the ministers, just pretending to be a play!Perhaps, when she turned around, she had already started thinking about how to set off another storm!It would be too dangerous to let her go like this.

"I have promised her." The saint smiled lightly, "Although the title is retained, it is considered a severe punishment to take back the food town." Every eldest princess has a full six hundred titles, just like a county king.Saving these sealed households can also enrich the treasury and do some practical things, which is not completely useless.

"She has quite a few other courtyards, manors and shops, and there are mountains of gold, silver and jewelry in the warehouse. There is no shortage of such sealed households." Li Hui frowned, "It's better to follow her real seals and the prospects of the manor and shops. Calculate the income, and count those gold, silver and jewels with 'unknown sources' as bribes to enrich the treasury?"

He always felt that the punishment given to Princess Anxing was too light, no matter what, she had to have a taste of "flesh pain"!People can't be punished, can't property be punished?If she doesn't have enough money, how can she continue to live the life she wants?Gather contacts by squandering money?

The prince raised his brows and continued: "Sage, according to my estimate, these 'bribes' jewels alone are worth hundreds of millions of dollars. In addition, King Peng should have given her a lot of other houses and manors. Since even King Lu, who has always loved money, was willing to take these things out, so how can she continue to occupy those other businesses with confidence? If you add up the two and put them into Taifu Temple, it must be a lot of money."

"..." The sage looked at the two young men with a smile, and sighed, "I really shouldn't have sent you to Dali Temple and Yushitai, but should have sent you to the Hubu and Taifu Temples." Taifu Temple is in charge of the taxation, property, revenue and expenditure of the Tang treasury, and what is needed most is the keen eye for finding money to enrich the treasury anytime and anywhere.

"If I can share my uncle's worries, my nephew can go no matter where I am." Li Hui said, and by the way, he also expressed his loyalty for the prince. If you have the opportunity to go to the Ministry of Households or Taifu Temple, you should be like a fish in water."

"The people I value, naturally can go anywhere!" The saint couldn't help laughing, and also put them all back.

However, even though Princess Anxing's personal wealth was almost emptied openly, the Prince of Xin'an County was still a little unhappy.In his opinion, King Peng is completely inferior to Princess Anxing, and the various actions after jumping out can be called digging his own grave.This case only involved him and the Prince of Langling, but Princess Anxing was unscathed, which really disappointed him.

He will never forget that Princess Anxing is the one who is the first to sue the Yue Palace, and the main messenger who has been secretly fueling the flames and sowing dissension among the royal brothers.If she is not dealt with cleanly, how can it be regarded as revenge for King Yue's lineage?How can the father and brother who are far away in Luoyang and the lineage of King Chu in Jingzhou be completely at ease?

That night, in the sleeping hall on the West Road of Prince Pu's Mansion, accompanied by the sporadic sound of water, the sigh of Prince Xin'an resounded: "Uncle unexpectedly let Princess Anxing go so easily... Even if she denies it, so what? So what if the evidence is insufficient? Right now, everything is under control, and as much evidence as you want can be produced! Perhaps, uncle still feels that it is not scary to let her torment alone, it is better to let her continue to be a bait."

Li Hui leaned on the edge of the Yuhu, while Prince Ren rolled up his sleeves and wiped his back, immersed in his own thoughts.Both of them don't like to be close to their servants, so many things to serve the county king fall on Wang Yushi, and he has always been happy.However, at this moment, Wang Yushi, who is still a little bit young, always has to exert all his strength to forcefully suppress some of his thoughts that are just about to move, but his eyes can't stop lingering on his back.

"Since the Princess Anxing can be used to fish out King Peng, maybe other people can be caught after a while. The saint should have a plan. Moreover, he removed all the chess pieces on her bright side, in order to keep the dark Chess, what else can she do? Even for the sake of acting, she has to take a step back and pretend to be a reformed person."

"Even if she hibernates for a period of time, she will live peacefully from now on. Just seeing her is enough to make people unhappy. What's more, I always feel that I can't judge her with common sense. If I underestimate her, I don't know when Then she will find an opportunity to stir up troubles. Speaking of which, the other mastermind hidden in the dark is really straightforward and has no compassion for King Peng and King Langling. Killed—why is she not worried about this person attacking her at all?"

"Perhaps it's just a retreat. If she doesn't confess, she can just use this secret to continue dealing with that person and gain the upper hand. Even if that person intends to kill him, she is in Chang'an, guarding all around. With the bodyguard trilogy, there are Jinwu guards patrolling near the Princess Mansion, so it is difficult to break through the siege. And if he misses a hit, that person will be extremely dangerous, and he will be betrayed by her in an instant, so naturally he dare not act rashly."

"...Heh, hatchbacks are vain and submissive, making use of each other." Li Hui narrowed his eyes, "Then what benefits will she get from cooperating with this person? Could it be that the death of Duke Huai has made her angry with all her brothers and sisters, so she wants to use it as her own?" Can she be satisfied if the royal family is wiped out?" In fact, Princess Anxing has never lost her mind, but according to her actions, it seems that she has never considered leaving a way out for herself, and her thoughts are always irritating. Elusive.

"No matter what benefits she wants, it will not change the fact that she conspired with this person." The prince offered, "Perhaps King Peng's defeat is tantamount to cutting off his right arm and losing his ally, but This is the best opportunity for her. In my opinion, she has always been King Peng’s think tank. Although important, she has never been the one who makes decisions. In the future, she will not have to be controlled by King Peng, and she can fulfill herself as she pleases. target."

"So, the death of King Peng is actually good news for her?" Li Hui looked cold, "...And one of her goals is Prince Pu's Mansion. I will definitely not allow her to get what she wants!!"

"Don't worry, among the pawns she throws, there are a few high-ranking officials who are not low in rank. Unexpectedly, these people are very likely to know more than she expected. As long as these pieces of information are combined, perhaps Then we can gradually find out the identity of the other mastermind." The prince offered, "What the saint wants is nothing more than the details of the conspirator. At that time, she will no longer be useful, and she will be eliminated naturally."

"Did you forget that she still holds the remnants of the family when she abolished the crown prince's conspiracy?"

"Speaking of these people..." the prince took off his clothes calmly and stepped into the Yuhu, "They haven't appeared for a long time, maybe there has been internal strife, or something went wrong. Otherwise, why should Princess Anxing Send other people to assassinate the King of Yue? There are at least hundreds of remnants of those aristocratic families entrenched in Lingnan, and Huan He also has a group of Nanman who are very familiar with the terrain of Lingnan. If they are sent, everyone in the Yue Palace may not be unscathed."

"You mean, the second father and the others are very likely to be assassinated again? Maybe there is no peace from Shaozhou to Guangzhou? Or, there is actually someone else who can instruct the remnants of the family?" Li Hui pondered for a while, but did not realize The person behind him has quietly approached him, "This person doesn't listen to Princess Anxing's order, does he only obey the orders of King Peng or another mastermind? Who took in the remnants of these aristocratic families back then?"

It is clear that the hot body is already close to each other, and the posture couldn't be more intimate, but the person under him is still immersed in thoughts, completely unaware of the current state, Wang Zixian couldn't help sighing: "Xuan Qi..."

"...Maybe Huan He is no longer in Lingnan? His goal is always to abolish the crown prince. Well, I have to write a letter quickly to get Cousin Jueqing to pay more attention. Who is it that can control the remnants of so many aristocratic families? What are your plans? In the future, if Princess Anxing has no one to use, will she start using them again?"

"Xuan Qi..."

"What do you think? Should we carefully investigate who was taken in by Prince Peng?"

"I think, since I have no clue for now, there is no need to think about it." Wang Zixian smiled helplessly.

Li Hui frowned: "This matter is very important, we have to think it through—well..." The rest of the words were blocked by a sudden and bullying kiss.Then someone said in a hoarse voice: "It's never too late to think about it another day. I've spent so much time today, so let's give it up for now, how about it?"

"..." Even if he wanted to continue to oppose, Prince Xin'an had no time left.
