When Li Yuanxing took Wu Zhao to rest, it was already three o'clock in the morning according to modern time.
The entire city of Chang'an has fallen silent.
But in the Wang family's mansion in Chang'an, Wang Ba was kneeling in the courtyard, the clothes on his back were completely torn, and there was a pool of blood under his body.
Wang Jishan sat in front of Wang Ba.
Wang Ba's fiancée Yu Zhen'er was running in a pavilion not far away. A lady next to her was urging Yu Zhen'er to get up. The ground was cold at night and it was not worth it if she hurt her body.
Five other men wearing Tang Dynasty military uniforms were kneeling about ten steps away from Wang Ba.
The person on the far left has a bloody whip in front of him, and the person on the second far right is injured more seriously than Wang Ba. If he hadn't been supported by the brothers on both sides, he might have fallen down.
"You are confused!" Wang Jishan scolded Wang Ba with a cold face.
Wang Ba was seriously injured, and the skin and flesh on his back were already torn open, but his expression was as firm as iron. When Wang Jishan scolded him, he did not reply, but said: "After dawn, I will cut off one of my arms."
Please forgive me."
"It's my fault, I'll take it!" The man who was almost fainting suddenly regained his energy and shouted loudly.
"Come here, prepare some tonics! No medicines for trauma!" A voice like a silver bell came from the darkness. First the light of two lanterns appeared, and then Wang Yuyan appeared in a long cloak.
Wang Yuyan did not approach, but he gave a salute when he was about twenty steps away from Wang Jishan, and then said: "I am a junior, I shouldn't come out to speak. It's just a stone, it is a big or small matter. Your Highness, King Qin, is so kind that he will not
If you are held accountable, the punishment will not be severe."
Wang Jishan shook his head gently: "The Wang family has its own family rules!"
"In Prince Qin's Mansion, the seven princesses represent the seven aristocratic families. The position of the principal concubine is absolutely irrelevant to any of the seven of us, and there is no way to argue for a result in the palace, but whoever loses his attention in the eyes of His Highness
, his family will definitely become a second-rate or even third-rate family within ten years!"
Wang Ba looked at Wang Yuyan in surprise.
Wang Yuyan, who was only sixteen years old, really frightened Wang Ba with his words.
Wang Jishan seemed to have thought of something, and his expression became a little unnatural.
"Most of the Cui family's financial resources and manpower in Qinghe began to transfer to the peninsula. Those of the Cui family in the peninsula who had evil thoughts and were disobedient were suppressed. Those who gained power in the Cui family in the peninsula were all those who were willing to return to Qinghe. Long.
Right, the Li family, all financial and human resources have begun to mobilize to the northwest. The four families of the Li family have never been so united as they are now! This is all!"
After Wang Yuyan finished speaking, he turned around and walked back to his house.
She was supposed to go back to Admiral Tiance's Mansion, but she found an excuse to go home and stay one night.
I just wanted to say something important, but something unexpected happened to Wang Ba.
Wang Ba's men took two more stones, one the size of a fist and one the size of an egg. This was too small, and no one knew about it. Only Wang Ba and the other six knew, and it was unknown whether the stone could produce jade.
The king is good at punishing the overlord, according to the family rules of the Wang family.
This gave Wang Yuyan no chance to speak that night, and he originally planned to speak again the next day.
Wang Yuyan had already gone to bed, but after hearing the maid's report, she couldn't help but come out. There were still some things she wanted to say.
"Wait a minute!" Wang Jishan saw Wang Yuyan preparing to leave and asked, "Does His Highness the King of Qin know what you are talking about?"
"Is there anything in the world that His Highness the King of Qin doesn't know? His Highness is the only one who is not interested in knowing, or doesn't want to know!" After Wang Yuyan finished speaking, he gave a salute: "Yu Yan retires!"
According to the words of Wang Yuyan, a good believer in Wang Ji, many things have been proved, and His Highness the King of Qin knew everything beforehand.
But there are also surprises. For example, more than a year ago, the Turkic War ended, and His Highness King Qin wanted to honor the wounded soldiers, but the result was...
No!
Wang Jishan shook his head vigorously. If the King of Qin lost, he lost to the officials and nobles of the Manchu Dynasty. But what did the nobles win? Now look at the sergeants of the Tang Dynasty. These soldiers who were originally the same as slaves, now
It is a doubling of status, whether it is social status or status in the eyes of the people.
In other words, the influence of speaking in court and local areas.
Both are greatly improved.
"The art of war is not about the gains and losses of one city or one pond." Wang Jishan suddenly said something that seemed inexplicable. But in his heart, he understood that in fact, the King of Qin won that battle and gained unlimited support from the entire Tang Dynasty military.
Trust, thinking about it now, Wang Jishan felt a chill in his back.
"You get up first, you all get up first." Wang Jishan helped Wang Ba.
Wang Ba also realized that the matter might not be simple, so he signaled his five men to get up and give the seriously injured one some simple treatment, then gave him some tonics and helped him to the side to rest.
Wang Jishan approached Wang Ba and asked in a low voice: "Tell me, His Highness the King of Qin gave you an explanation about you and the Japanese on the Japanese island. Don't be anxious, drink water and think slowly. Don't miss anything?" Wang Jishan personally served Wang Ba.
A glass of water was given.
"About Japanese islands, His Highness has three instructions. First, we can do whatever we want. Second, Japanese people can be used, but like kites. Third, let me not be impulsive and protect the lives of my men! Regarding Japanese people, His Highness's explanation is that we must
Give up your bones!"
"Are you willing to give up your bones?" Wang Jishan was stunned for a moment.
Wang Ba nodded very seriously: "Yes, the exact words are, you have to give up your bones!"
Wang Jishan quickly asked: "So, what about me asking you to recognize your ancestors and return to the clan?"
"His Highness said this is a good thing. People need to have a family. I originally had an offensive mission, but I was temporarily dispatched from the island. Originally, I thought that because I belonged to the Wang family, the Wang family was too powerful and would not allow me to return.
I'm in charge of the affairs of the Japanese island. But after bringing those stones back, I understood that His Highness wanted to borrow Yu Zhen'er's ability to use jade. He took me with him just to avoid suspicion. After all, Yu Zhen'er is my wife of the Wang family."
Wang Jishan nodded, Li Yuanxing always handled these details extremely well.
"Also, as soon as the flying boat landed, I received an order from the Ministry of War to pick up the ordnance. I had to board the boat at the Jinghe Pier within five days. And I only had one month to return to the island."
"I can't guess, I can't see clearly. Our Highness the King of Qin is so unpredictable." Wang Jishan sighed with emotion.
"I heard a piece of gossip on the flying boat!"
"Speak quickly!" Wang Jishan grabbed Wang Ba's hand.
"It was a conversation between Qiuxiang, a female official in the Qin Dynasty, and Lu Maofeng, a member of the Guards. After cutting the stone to see the treasure, Qiuxiang said to Lu Maofeng: Please look out for two good pieces. The King of Han will marry the Princess of Silla and marry two equal wives at the same time. Six
Concubine, these stones are a valuable gift for Cui Changshi!"
After Wang Ba finished speaking, he took another sip of water: "I didn't care at first. But now I think about it, it's different, because one of the two wives is the cousin of Princess Ying, and the other is the legitimate daughter of the Cui family of the peninsula.
And each of the two families and the Silla Jin family gave birth to two concubines."
"Hiss..." Wang Jishan shook his head vigorously: "No, this is impossible."
"Nothing is impossible. No one can understand His Highness King Qin's actions. But I also know one thing. The ship that brings us supplies sometimes goes to the north of the island. I heard that there is a port there, Qinghe
The Cui family’s port is known as one of the four major ports in the Tang Dynasty. It’s called Vladivostok Wei Port!”
Wang Jishan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't understand, I really don't understand."
"What's so weird? You asked me so many questions. If you don't tell me anything, don't blame me for scolding a junior!" Wang Ba asked back with a cold face.
"Okay, I'll tell you. But don't talk nonsense!"
"Speak quickly!" Wang Ba's tone was exactly the same as when Wang Jishan urged him just now.
Wang Jishan thought for a while and said slowly: "According to common sense, for the sake of imperial power, aristocratic families must be suppressed. But His Highness the King of Qin did the opposite. The imperial power was weakened in the matter of Tianying Pavilion, and some poor families were allocated to the matter of Jianyuan.
The power of the aristocratic family. But in fact, what is divided is the part given by the imperial power."
"I understand this, and I understand it!"
"Think carefully about the next thing. As long as all the powerful families in the world are supported by the King of Qin, the only requirement is that the family pays taxes. I will give you a number. Our Wang family has paid taxes, but this year
The extra income earned every year is more than twenty times the tax paid. In other words, although the family paid the tax, it still took a huge advantage."
Wang Ba scratched his hair: "His Royal Highness, King Qin, is really hard to understand!"
"If I could figure it out, I wouldn't be the King of Qin!"
After Wang Jishan gave a concluding speech, he said: "You all go to rest and write down a document acknowledging your mistake. I will write another letter to His Highness the King of Qin. For the King of Qin, even if he saw the stone, he would treat it as if he had not seen it.
.However, the rules of the Wang family cannot be messed up, and the rules of the Qin Palace cannot be ignored."
"I understand this!"
"Go to the Ministry of War tomorrow. Your fault lies with the Wang family and the Prince of Qin's Mansion, not with the Ministry of War!" Wang Jishan emphasized.
Wang Ba went down to rest, but Wang Jishan stood alone in the night. The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't understand. Why all this? Doesn't His Highness King Qin know that Li Er is alive and he is alive? These two brothers can rely on their personal prestige
Suppress the world's noble families, but what happens next?
Imperial power will inevitably fall by the wayside!
The Tang Dynasty may become a battleground between various aristocratic families. Even though the royal family can be preserved for a thousand years, the imperial power is likely to disappear in less than a hundred years.
"Why?" Wang Jishan suddenly shouted in a loud voice to vent the depression in his heart.
What is Li Yuanxing thinking?
At this moment, Li Yuanxing was sleeping soundly, while Wu Zhao was playing with his tablet computer. He suddenly said to Li Yuanxing: "The Li family in Zhaojun feels very poor. None of their six branches has become a big success. Not even one person has entered politics.
There is no genuine or third-grade merchant, and there is not even a super big merchant in business. You said..." Wu Zhao shook Li Yuanxing.
"Li what? Stop making trouble and go to sleep!" Li Yuanxing turned over and continued to sleep soundly. Wu Zhao angrily hit Li Yuanxing on the head twice with his tablet computer. Li Yuanxing still had no response, so he had no choice but to turn off the computer and sleep. (
