Chapter 80: The Crisis of Shenwuhou Mansion



Zhao Lingying felt.

If you handle it yourself.

We will consider the impact of this matter and choose to postpone it.

But Your Majesty struck while the iron was hot and let Song Gongwen do it boldly.

And with the emperor's support.

It's different.

Um.

I learned it. I learned it.

Zhao Lingying thought about it in her heart and memorized it.

The two chatted for a while afterwards.

But most of them were issues reported in memorials.

Wei Yunyi was overwhelmed.

Feeling bored, I decided to go back.

Because he knew very well that the Tyrant Value could be exchanged for many things in the system mall.

But to improve our strength, we still need to take a two-pronged approach.

Alchemy is essential.

After all, it’s been less than ten years since the immortal came to the world.

It just so happens that I have now reached the eighth level of martial arts, so I can try to refine the upgraded version of Xiaohuandan, Dahuandan.

That thing can help improve one's cultivation faster, but it is also more difficult to refine.

In particular, the medicinal materials required are more numerous and more precious.

You have to prepare it in advance.

Of course, before leaving.

He hasn't forgotten to tell Concubine Ying.

He said that he has had new insights into practicing martial arts recently.

So I would come to Jingde Palace in the evening to discuss things with him.

Then, the other person's face turned red with embarrassment.

He walked out of the bedroom with a smile.

"My Lady."

After Wei Yunyi left, the young palace maid Cuiguo came forward and asked with some concern, "Will the policy of equalizing the land tax implemented by Your Majesty affect the Marquis's Mansion?"

She knew that successive emperors had rewarded the Marquisate with a lot of land because of its achievements.

Once the land tax is fully implemented, the marquisate will have to pay a lot of land tax.

“It will naturally have an impact.”

Zhao Lingying nodded and continued, "But it's nothing. As father said before, the glory of the Marquisate today all comes from the grace of the court and the previous emperors. If the court can use it and it is beneficial to the country, there will be no harm in giving it away."

"Besides, my family has been abiding by our duties for generations and has never done anything to encroach on farmland. The worst that can happen is that we have to pay a little more money every year."

"I've also read many memorials recently and understand that although the national treasury appears to be full, in recent years, there has been a shortage of income."

"If at this time, my father is still stingy and unwilling to do anything."

"Then I will go to the Marquis' Mansion in person!"

Speaking of this.

Zhao Lingying's eyes were firm.

She has the goal of governing the country and benefiting the people.

I also want to do my best to assist Your Majesty.

Taxation is of paramount importance and cannot be taken lightly.

Only when the court has money can it do more things.

At the same time, Zhao Lingying also felt that

My father has fought for the country for so many years, it is impossible for him not to know this truth, and he will definitely support my actions.

But next to her, Cuiguo looked at her own queen with a somewhat resentful look in her eyes.

Forcing her family to pay money to the court.

The daughter of the Marquis gave birth to...

The needle does not poke.

They all started calling themselves "Ben Gong".

But soon, the mention of the Marquis' Mansion suddenly reminded her of something, and she couldn't help but say, "My Lady, the last time you asked me to visit you at the Marquis' Mansion, Madam first asked about your situation and also mentioned that the General had sent a letter home a few days ago."

Under normal circumstances, the concubines in the harem, and even the queen.

Without the permission of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.

You are not allowed to step out of the harem.

It is within the permitted range to let people around you leave the palace to go to your parents' home.

A few days ago, Zhao Lingying also asked Cuiguo to return to the Marquis' Mansion to visit.

certainly.

She noticed the key point in that sentence and said, "Brother has sent a letter home. Do you know what it says?"

His elder brother was the General Zhenbei, responsible for guarding the northern border and preventing invasions from grassland tribes.

So every time the other party writes home, it also contains other things, besides reporting that he is safe.

He also talked about the situation in the army and the grassland tribes.

As for why we do this.

The reason is very simple.

The northern defense line is long, and there are many grassland tribes.

In addition, although his elder brother was the General Zhenbei, his defensive ability was not very good. Most of the time, when he wrote home, he was asking his father for advice on military matters.

Originally, Zhao Lingying was not very concerned about this, but she remembered it some time ago.

The grassland tribes suddenly moved south, causing some casualties.

All of them were discussed at the imperial conference by the Minister of War.

So this time I’m writing a letter home.

She felt something was wrong.

"I don't know about this." Cuiguo recalled and continued.

"But when talking about letters home, the Marquis frowned and signaled his wife not to say too much."

Don’t talk too much?

Hearing this, Zhao Lingying's eyes changed slightly.

Earlier, my brother wrote home asking for advice on how to defend the northern border.

Although my father was also very serious, most of the time he didn't show any other expression except for a little disappointment.

After all, she knew that her father had guarded the northern border for many years, had made outstanding contributions, and was very familiar with the various tribes on the grassland.

But according to Cuiguo, the other party seemed very serious this time.

So, things must not be simple.

Could it be?

Is the grassland going to move south in large numbers?

However, when Zhao Lingying thought of this, she shook her head.

If this omen really existed, my brother would not have written a letter home, but would have written a letter to the Ministry of War and Your Majesty.

But in this way, I have to review memorials every day.

You can also see it.

so.

This shouldn't be the reason.

"In recent years, the grassland tribes have been restless, and my brother's defense has become increasingly unfavorable. He has suffered losses several times. The ministers in the court are quite dissatisfied with this. Especially last time, it was brought to the attention of His Majesty. The Minister of War even brought it up directly. If it happens again..."
