Afterwards, Wei Yunyi chatted with Empress Dowager Sun and Sun Kejian for a while.
During this period, he also hinted from time to time about the King of Yan.
After all, this was his main purpose for coming to the Cining Palace.
Sun Kejian spoke directly and bluntly about this, saying that the Prince of Yan was training the army and purchasing a horse farm.
Empress Dowager Sun was a little frightened when she heard this. If she didn't know what her son was thinking, she would have fainted.
But I didn't explain anything, I just thought to myself.
The emperor is the Son of Heaven. He must take responsibility for the country and must be careful.
But it's normal. After all, he is a vassal king in Yan area, so he chooses to speak less.
In the future, Yuanchuan will truly dominate Yan and serve the country.
These precautions naturally disappeared.
The more Wei Yunyi listened, the happier he became. He was sure that the other party had lived up to his expectations. It seemed that if he had bad luck in the future, he would still have to rely on his dear brother.
After understanding these, I felt relieved and very happy.
Until it was almost noon.
Empress Dowager Sun invited him to stay for lunch.
Wei Yunyi naturally chose to refuse. Although he was a little hungry, when it came to delicious food, the Queen's was still the best.
Therefore, not long after, I chose to leave.
Sun Kejian looked at Wei Yunyi's departing figure and couldn't help but sigh. He continued, "You can even let a merchant like me go without any consideration and let me serve in the court. Your Majesty, you are truly a wise ruler!"
Hearing this, Empress Dowager Sun was in a state of great headache. She didn't know how to start, so she could only say: "In the future, please speak less about Yuanchuan's affairs. Even if His Majesty doesn't think too much about it, what about the ministers in the court?"
"After all, Yan is located in the northern border. The ministers are very concerned about this. You should know what I mean."
"This..." Sun Kejian wanted to refute, but looking at the empress dowager's solemn tone, he nodded.
Then, as if he had thought of something, he said, "Queen Dowager, speaking of the northern border, before I left, I heard something big was going to happen. Those barbarians on the grasslands are restless."
Empress Dowager Sun frowned immediately, but simply said, "This is something the previous dynasty should be concerned about. Besides, the Northern Territory has the General Zhenbei, who is the eldest son of the Marquis of Shenwu, so I don't think anything will happen."
Marquis Shenwu spent his entire life in military service and was a renowned general of his time. His eldest son, General Zhenbei, also defended the northern border for many years.
Despite casualties, they repeatedly stopped the grassland tribes from moving south.
In everyone's mind.
Even if the barbarians on the grassland have ideas, it is useless.
Sun Kejian thought so too, but soon he suddenly said, "Oh no, I forgot to ask Your Majesty something, Queen Mother. I am now an official in the court. Is it not possible for me to go to places like Hongxiu Tower?"
Empress Dowager Sun was speechless. She suppressed the urge to take action and said directly, "You still have to believe in how to be a good Minister of Revenue!"
After saying that, he turned around and asked the old nanny to send the other person out of the palace.
She was afraid to continue this conversation.
I really can't stand it anymore.
As for Sun Kejian, he opened his mouth but said nothing. He bowed and followed the old nanny away.
In his heart, he began to think about what Empress Dowager Sun said and how to be a good Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
Also, when will the Minister of Revenue come back?
It has to be done as soon as possible.
I really want to show off my skills!
at the same time.
In the suburbs of Longyang Prefecture, thousands of miles away from the capital.
Song Gongwen, dressed in casual attire, stood beside the carriage with a smile on his face. He said, "Brother Shouyuan, the land tax and the Longyang New Law are now proceeding smoothly as planned. I have completed the instructions of His Majesty. Everything that follows is now in your hands!"
Across from him, Wang Shouyuan nodded immediately and said, "Brother Gongwen, don't worry about that. Leave everything to me. I just didn't expect that the four major families would actually collude with the White Clothes Sect. They are truly audacious!"
Having said that, he narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes, and continued:
I originally thought that the four major families were just arrogant and domineering, but later, I found out that they were colluding with rebels.
If he had not relied on their power to continue climbing up, Wang Shouyuan would have immediately dealt with the four major families.
The White Robe Gate, they are the traitors designated by the imperial court.
The Longyang nobles actually dared to secretly collude with these people!
"I have already informed Eunuch Wang of these circumstances."
Upon hearing this, Song Gongwen continued, "Eunuch Wang told us not to worry about anything, so as not to alert the enemy. He has already figured out how to deal with the White Clothes Sect, so the four major families should just be patient for now!"
Wang Shouyuan was naturally aware of all this and knew that he couldn't act rashly now, so he could only continue to wait.
Furthermore, since it involves the White Robe Sect, it is no longer something that civil officials can handle.
The East Factory or other institutions must be sent.
Understanding this, he didn't say much, but opened his mouth and talked about another matter: "But Brother Gongwen, I have a good friend in the North who recently brought me some bad news."
The North? Bad news?
Song Gongwen was immediately startled and asked, "Could it be that there's movement among the tribes on the grassland?"
"Indeed, my good friend serves as a lieutenant general under the General Zhenbei." At this moment, Wang Shouyuan's expression was extremely serious. He continued, "Although he didn't say it explicitly in his letter because it involves military secrets, I suspect that the smoke of war will rise in the northern border soon!"
