Jiang Zhao and Du Sili escorted them back to Yanlou. Xie Boting held Su Tang on horseback and said to them, "Thank you for your hospitality today. When we get to Kyoto, I will treat you to dinner."
"Farewell."
"Goodbye."
Xie Boting clamped his horse's belly and rode away.
Jiang Zhao waved his hand, and Du Sili held his forehead, "You don't even know who he is, how can you meet again?"
Just as Chen Qing was passing by before leaving, Du Sili stopped him and said, "I wonder who is in your master's house?"
Chen Qing didn't hide anything and replied, "Prince Jingnan's Mansion."
Jiang Zhao, "...!!!"
Du Si Li, "...!!!"
By the time Chen Qingdu caught up with Xie Boting on horseback, the two of them had not yet recovered from the shock.
Are they the prince and concubine of Prince Jingnan?
He was sent to Wangzhou by the emperor to look for the eldest son of Prince Xin’s Palace, but he took the wrong route to Suizhou. By mistake, he found the eldest son of Prince Xin’s Palace in Suizhou, the crown prince’s concubine, the crown prince of Jingnan?!
They actually had a meal with the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Jingnan, and he paid the bill?!
Prince Jingnan said that snow salt would replace coarse salt within half a year, so he was absolutely right. Such a noble status would not allow him to make irresponsible remarks.
As for Xie Boting, he led Su Tang forward. Su Tang clearly felt that Xie Boting was riding much faster. She said, "Are you really going back to Kyoto?"
Xie Boting hugged Su Tang and said, "It's better to go back. I'm worried that if the real reason for the collapse of the Bilateral Salt Negotiation Negotiation fails to reach the emperor's ears in time, the emperor will seize the Zhongyong Hou Mansion in a fit of rage."
Su Tang, "..."
"It's not that serious, right?" Su Tang's voice was starting to waver.
Xie Boting said, "There are too many things you don't know about the salt trial. In the past few years, the people who went to the border to negotiate and buy salt were all Prince Ning's people. The court gave in step by step. In the past, the price of salt increased by 10% a year. Last year, it was directly
He has grown 20%, and it is highly recommended by my father and Prince Xin that Marquis Zhongyong go to the border to discuss this matter this year."
It was a coincidence that Xie Boting knew about this. The emperor sent them out to look for Yun Yi. The prince asked Xie Boting to be his secret guard. When Xie Boting went there, he happened to hear the prince mention the salt trial. Only then did he know that Marquis Zhongyong was responsible for this matter this year.
As soon as he knew that coarse salt could be turned into snow salt, he asked Prince Zhongyong to go to the border to stop it.
Originally, Marquis Zhongyong was sent, but Prince Ning was dissatisfied. However, the emperor was also very dissatisfied with the price increase in Northern Xinjiang every year. This year, he wanted to change someone to go. Prince Ning felt that Marquis Zhongyong was not good at bargaining, so he really sent Marquis Zhongyong.
Beijiang will either increase prices even more or the talks will collapse.
Prince Ning had given up his words long ago, and now news of the collapse of the talks has really come from the border. Prince Ning and his party will definitely take the opportunity to add insult to injury and add fuel to the fire. They will ask the emperor to punish Zhongyong Hou severely, and then send people to remedy the situation.
Salt is a big deal, and there is no guarantee that the emperor will not severely punish Marquis Zhongyong without knowing it. Even the prince and the old prince Xin will have to bear the charge of poor recommendation.
They were the ones who asked Prince Zhongyong to rush to the border in the rain. They wanted Prince Zhongyong to know that they were traveling all the way and delayed their return to Beijing. They wanted the emperor to have their Zhongyong Prince's mansion searched and their family members imprisoned. Even if the truth was revealed.
Afterwards, the imperial court will release the person and return all the seized items, but the cold heart will not warm up so easily.
The incident happened because of them, not to mention it was a good thing. If a good thing could not turn into a bad thing in the end, we could only give up the plan and return to Beijing first.
Knowing that Su Tang liked to travel, Xie Boting bit Su Tang's neck and said, "I have wronged you this time. From now on, I will accompany you to travel throughout our Ning Dynasty." This chapter has been completed!
