Chapter 435 I want to see!
"No." Yinzhe shook his head.
"Just planning how to take down the four great families has already consumed a great deal of your Majesty's energy, and this matter has not yet been thoroughly explored."
Qin Zhaoyue touched his chin with his free hand and pondered:
“In that case, let’s just delay it for now.
After all, completely eliminating the influence of the aristocratic families in the local area will not be achieved overnight."
"Since the autumn harvest is almost over, perhaps we can ask Third Sister to consider the situation.
An appropriate decree was issued to reduce the share of harvest that the tenants in the four areas who were attached to the aristocratic lands were required to pay this year.
Let Third Sister discuss the specific implementation with Prime Minister Pei."
Qin Zhaoyue understood very clearly that such policies concerning people's livelihood and economy could not be forcibly promoted by her by using the power of Xuanji Guards. That would be overstepping her authority.
If the Queen Mother can wake up safely, she will naturally continue to make plans. Who knows how many plans she has hidden in her heart that have not yet been implemented.
If the worst comes to the worst, such policies should be promoted and implemented by the third sister who is the regent.
"Returning land to the people" and "reducing taxes and rents" can be made the basic national policy in the future, just like the Empress Dowager who overcame all objections and established the new imperial examination policy.
Then, the popularity and ruling foundation needed by the third sister can be established.
"Yes." Yinzhe wrote down her instructions.
"Also, have them search thoroughly, digging deep into the ground to uncover all the hidden treasures of the noble families.
Bury it underground, build it into a wall, or hide it in some other secret place. Don't waste all the time spent preparing it. Don't miss a single thing."
"Even if we allow them to move a group of them ahead of time, there will definitely be a large amount of real estate and wealth that is difficult to move left behind.
Don't waste it! Take down the door frame and search it thoroughly. Don't leave even a single inch!"
Yinzhe nodded,
“The property that will be counted later will be sent to Fengjing one after another.
If there is a real war in the north, these may be able to alleviate the immediate crisis."
"Well, remember to let me take a look when the time comes."
Qin Zhaoyue responded subconsciously, then saw the look in Yinzhe's eyes and immediately raised his eyebrows.
"Hey, what's that look in your eyes?"
Yin Zhe: “…”
Aren't the eyes obvious enough?
It is clearly an undisguised distrust and a warning not to have such ideas.
Qin Zhaoyue suddenly felt that his noble sentiments were offended.
Although she felt a little more alert after receiving the new news, she deliberately pretended to yawn loudly.
His mouth was wide open, and even two sleepy tears squeezed out of the corners of his eyes.
Then she blinked and looked at Yinzhe, and her tone became a little... flattering?
"Aunt Thirteen, can you please discuss something?"
The call of "Auntie Thirteen" sounded sweet and sticky, but it instantly made Yinzhe alert.
My body subconsciously tensed slightly and entered a state of alert.
"What is it?" The voice was cautious.
"Can you show me what you look like under your veil?"
Qin Zhaoyue's eyes were sparkling with excitement.
The face in my memory is already very vague, it has been fourteen years.
"I promise, if you show me this, I won't sleep tonight and will stare until dawn!"
Hidden:???
What kind of condition is this?
Seeing that she was silent, Qin Zhaoyue immediately dragged out his tone, with a bit of rogue threat:
"Otherwise... once I get sleepy, I fall asleep instantly and I can't stop myself.
You don’t want the Queen Mother to get into any accidents because I accidentally fell asleep, right?”
Yinzhe:!!!
The fist is hard, really hard.
Her hands hanging by her side were clenched tightly and trembling slightly.
The entire side hall of the imperial study fell into dead silence.
Even Sui Mo and the entire Mo Group subconsciously held their breath, not daring to breathe.
But each pair of eyes was filled with an extremely bright and expectant light.
Want to see!
After a long silence, under Qin Zhaoyue's shameless gaze of "If you don't show me, I will really sleep in front of you", Yinzhe's body was tense like a fully drawn bow.
Her fingers trembled almost imperceptibly as she slowly raised them.
As if weighing a thousand pounds, it slowly touched the edge of the cold veil that had obscured her face for many years.
Then……
Wow!
The sound of the bell rang at the hour of Yin, and the wind lanterns under the palace eaves swayed in the night wind.
In the imperial study, candlelight flickered gently in the jade lamp.
Qin Zhaoyue's figure was stretched and shortened, and cast on the cold golden brick ground.
She no longer felt sleepy, but instead had an almost rebellious clarity of mind, as if she wanted to get through this long, dark night.
In the complete silence, the only sound was the regular and heavy footsteps of the patrolling guards outside the palace, as if knocking on people's hearts.
It was in this silence that Yinzhe appeared silently again.
This time, she brought an urgent military report from the North.
Sure enough, the beacon fire has been lit.
The second-grade master suddenly launched an attack, smashing the solid walls of the Zhenbei Pass city wall with the force of thunder.
The cavalry came like a tide, taking advantage of the broken gap and pressing forward.
At this critical moment, the eldest princess personally led the newly formed Fengling Light Cavalry and brazenly charged into the enemy's left wing.
Afterwards, the Shen Ce Black Armored Heavy Cavalry, who had been waiting for an opportunity, advanced with tremendous force and completely tore apart the Shu Feng army's formation.
Zhenbei City opened its gates on its own initiative, trapping the Shufeng vanguard army in the city wall and strangling them.
The vanguard suffered heavy casualties, the left wing was crippled, and the right wing of the central army was routed.
A great victory that will go down in history was thus secured.
Qin Zhaoyue's heart tightened when he heard this, and he blurted out, "How is my elder sister?"
Hearing Liu Yan's secret report that his elder sister was not seriously injured, he felt relieved.
But then, a deeper sense of uneasiness rose in my heart.
wrong!
If the northern border is safe, or even a great victory has been achieved, why is the "peace and prosperity" that is crucial to the country's destiny still stagnant?
When two countries are at war, the atmosphere is turbulent and stagnation is understandable.
However, after the great victory, why did it not usher in the expected vigorous growth?
Alternatively, the crisis in the north has not been completely eliminated with this victory, and there are deeper disasters lurking.
Or... there is a key secret that she has not yet discovered.
However, the four words "peace and prosperity for the country" are too broad and profound.
It was like looking at flowers in the fog, and for a moment I had no idea what to do.
Second-grade masters seem to appear too frequently recently, like worthless white radishes, popping up one after another.
The timing is so precise that one cannot help but wonder:
Is there a pair of bottomless hands hidden behind the thick fog, changing the situation?
Could the person behind the scenes really be the long-deceased former crown prince?
Qin Zhaoyue suppressed his chaotic thoughts and asked Yinzhe to probe again, then added a bit of teasing.
"Auntie, are you knowledgeable about military affairs? What is the purpose of the Shuofeng Dynasty mobilizing its troops?"
Yinzhe was silent for a moment, and finally squeezed out two stiff words from between his teeth.
"don't know."
OK~
Qin Zhaoyue did not delve into it further. Such military and national affairs should be dealt with by the ministers of the previous dynasty.
Seeing Yinzhe still standing aside, he urged:
"Okay, since there's nothing important to do right now, go and have a rest.
Do you really have to be as miserable as me?"
These were clearly words of concern, but when spoken by her, they carried a certain irritating force.
Yinzhe's breath became slightly heavier, and he finally snorted coldly.
He turned and disappeared into the shadows, leaving cleanly and decisively.
