Chapter 64 The Only Chance

Under the attention of all the sects in the world, the Luofu Sect, Tang Sect, Qingcheng Sect, Huaixian Pavilion and Lishui Sect jointly sent an official letter to the Chongxuan Bureau, which was archived by the Chongxuan Bureau without giving any opinions.

This incident had a huge impact on the imperial court. It is said that Prime Minister Yang, General Gao Da and others went to Zhongnan Mountain in person, but they only discussed the essence of calligraphy and painting with Master Daoxuan who stayed at Zhen Lou Guantai, but returned without success.

.

Entering March, it was time for the prefectures and counties all over the world to pay spring taxes. An official letter signed by the Yizhou Trusteeship Committee was submitted to the Ministry of Household Affairs, claiming that in order to make up for the shortfall in the treasury, appease people's hearts, relieve the victims, and deal with the aftermath of the war, the Trusteeship Committee exempted the sword.

Last year's autumn tax and this year's spring tax for Nandao and Nanliuzhao. This year's autumn tax depends on the aftermath. Please ask the Ministry of Household Affairs for approval.

This official letter has attracted worldwide attention. As soon as it arrived in Chang'an, it was spread by gossip. Hundreds of officials looked at it with special attention. Everyone was paying close attention to the political affairs hall's handling strategy.

After Li Linfu died of illness and Chen Xilie resigned as prime minister, the current political affairs hall is controlled by Yang Guozhong, the Minister of the Ministry of War, Tong Zhongshu Menxia Ping Zhangshi Wei Jiansu, and the Ministry of Official Affairs @ vinegar Liu Wen-xue first post @ Shangshu, Tong Ping Zhang Shi Fang Guan jointly consulted

.

The political affairs hall convened for days to discuss countermeasures, but they could never come up with an effective solution. It is easy to issue an edict and rebuke, but if the five sects do not accept the edict issued, their prestige will be ruined, so it is better not to issue it.

Fang Guan followed Yang Guozhong's wishes and proposed to mobilize troops for the expedition, but there were many difficulties. Especially after Yang Guozhong came back from his visit to Zhongnan Mountain, he had serious doubts about the feasibility of this proposal.

Wei Jiansu's opinion was to send people to Yizhou for peace talks, but this move obviously hurt Yang Guozhong's face and made it difficult for him to make a decision.

Since Yang Guozhong was hesitant, he had no choice but to go to the emperor and ask him to make a decision.

The emperor has been staying on the Penglai Fairy Mountain in Taiye Lake for seven full days and has not shown up yet. Yang Guozhong asked Gao Lishi: "General, can you urge me? I have something important to report to your majesty."

Gao Lishi lazily said: "His Majesty has ordered that nothing should be disturbed. Even our family cannot go to the island. Yang Xiang should wait patiently. Of course, Yang Xiang can also go to see the empress. Only the empress can go to see your majesty."

Yang Guozhong could only bear to leave and go directly to Qinghui Pavilion. Since what happened in Huaqing Pool last summer, Yang Guozhong was not very willing to come to see the imperial concubine because he felt that the Yang family had been completely embarrassed, but

The matter is of great importance, but at this moment, I can only endure the discomfort and come to see the noble concubine.

After simply explaining his intention, Yang Guozhong stopped talking and waited for the imperial concubine to go and report to the emperor. However, the imperial concubine did not go immediately. Instead, she sat behind the curtain and remained silent.

Yang Guozhong didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere in the palace was very awkward.

After a long time, the imperial concubine said: "No matter what, brother, I have to remember one thing. Without my Yuhuan, there would be no Yang family today."

Yang Guozhong lowered his head and responded: "Yes."

The imperial concubine took a deep breath and added: "It is a custom in my hometown of Hu'er that my mother should bathe her when she celebrates her birthday..."

Yang Guozhong interrupted: "It's not my fault, I know!"

The imperial concubine's face turned pale, and she gritted her teeth and said, "What do you know? Then why haven't you, Third Sister, and the others come to the palace to talk to me in the past six months?"

Yang Guozhong said: "I am the Prime Minister of the country..."

The imperial concubine shed two tears and said: "Do you think I want this? Fatty An donated two billion yuan. He made a request. Your Majesty got the money and left, leaving me behind. He is a great cultivator of void refining, and I

What can be done?”

Yang Guozhong's eyes were tightly closed, veins popped up on his forehead, and he said slowly: "I have transferred Changjiang to visit Hexi. Gao Xianzhi is the deputy envoy and is stationed in Tongguan."

The imperial concubine wiped her tears and was a little frightened: "You want to use troops against Anhu'er?"

Yang Guozhong gritted his teeth and said: "If we don't take precautions, it will be difficult in the future."

The imperial concubine advised: "Don't act recklessly. Many people say that Anhur wants to rebel, but Your Majesty is unwilling to listen. Last year, Anhur promised to pay one billion to the palace every year. Your Majesty is very satisfied with him."

Yang Guozhong was quite angry for a moment: "Your Majesty, this is... alas!"

The imperial concubine rolled her eyes at him: "Didn't you come up like this back then?"

With such a communication, the gap between the brother and sister was eliminated. Yang Guozhong said: "Wait a moment, Madam, I will kill Fatty An to take out this bad breath for you!"

The imperial concubine nodded, asked her brother to wait for the message, and went to the Penglai Fairy Mountain in the Taiye Pool.

Penglai Fairy Mountain is actually a small island in Taiye Pond. On the island, there is a rockery built with lake stones. There is a Taoist temple in the mountain. It is only a yard several feet long. There is only a small hall in the yard, and the Taoist temple is enshrined in it.

Altar Marshal Zhao Gongming.

The incense of smoke curled up around the altar. The emperor bowed three times and kowtowed nine times, and then produced a talisman. The talisman burned slowly in the air, and the ash fell to the ground, where a thick layer had accumulated.

The full cauldron of copper coins on the offering table gradually disappeared, leaving nothing behind. So the emperor stretched out his sleeves, and poured out copper coins until the large, simple-looking cauldron was full and presented it to the table.

Continue to pray according to the ritual just now.

Over the past year, he has paid three billion coins in worship, and he still tirelessly repeats this worship every day, with sincerity in his heart. It can be said that the exchange ratio of spiritual stones and copper coins can be maintained at the current level of eight coins to one.

, the emperor has made outstanding contributions, otherwise it would have exceeded ten to one.

But it’s not enough, you can’t relax, otherwise you will fall short!

After paying respects several more times, the emperor stood up, smiled warmly at the imperial concubine who had been waiting behind him for a long time, and said, "You're here?"

The imperial concubine sighed: "Let's rest for a while. The loyalist of the country is here, and there are important military and state affairs waiting for His Majesty's decision."

The emperor asked: "What happened in Yizhou?"

The imperial concubine nodded: "Your majesty is wise and wise."

The emperor thought for a while and said: "Since I gave him the political affairs hall, he will take care of it. Is there anything that I have to worry about? Just let him discuss it with Wei Jiansu and Fang Guan. I am now

Don’t waste a moment!”

The imperial concubine was silent for a while, then asked: "Is there hope?"

The emperor smiled and tightened her bun: "This is the only hope."

The imperial concubine sighed softly, and when she turned around, the emperor grabbed her again, and touched her lips lightly. The imperial concubine said shyly: "Sanlang!"

The emperor laughed, and then said seriously: "Believe me, you will definitely find a way out!"

The imperial concubine nodded and responded: "Yes."

The emperor said again: "By the way, send a message to Guozhong. No matter what Yizhou does, Xian Yuxiang cannot be killed. He just donated 100 million yuan from his own money yesterday. I know his situation. It is already his entire net worth now. This time

As a meritorious official, we cannot let him feel cold. In addition, let the loyalist of the country send another billion in money for a period of half a year."

The imperial concubine conveyed the emperor's will to Yang Guozhong. At this moment, Yang Guozhong felt a lot of pressure. When he was not the right prime minister, he didn't have to worry so much. Now that he sat in this position, he felt what Li Linfu felt back then.

In today's court, every penny is of great use. How can we get the money to send it to the palace?

Foolish king!
