Wu Tie stood in front of Princess Jingsheng and talked.
"Your Highness Jingsheng, I have two things that I must explain to you."
"First, Dawu's army is approaching, and Dajin is facing an all-out war. As a princess of Dajin, a large army is hidden in Yuzhou, which is so close to the imperial capital of Jin... I dare to ask the princess, do you want to replace her and become the God Emperor? "
Princess Jingsheng's face turned pale.
The faces of Ma Xiangru and others suddenly changed, and a man behind Ma Xiangru shouted sternly: "Nonsense, those private armies... no, guards... they are just the bodyguards used by wealthy families in Yuzhou to guard their own territories and escort their own chamber of commerce caravans."
This man, Jun Song, was wearing a lavender robe. He was obviously a second-rank minister. Judging from the patterns on the jade belt around his waist, he was the deputy head of the Dajin Hall of Punishment. The Dajin Hall of Punishment has the authority to arrest bandits and pacify the area. The private military guards of many wealthy nobles in the Dajin area are also under their jurisdiction.
"The guards of each household in Yuzhou are registered with our Ministry of Punishment and are legitimate and legal guards." Du Song said coldly: "Young Master Yuzhou should not just talk about the crime of 'hiding an army' and other decapitations."
Wu Tie said coldly: "Whether you talk nonsense depends on what your majesty thinks today, and what the ministers in the court think. Haha, one hundred and seven thousand warships, even if they are the guards of each household... His Highness Jing Sheng said it lightly. , they gathered together and attacked the city..."
Wu Tie stared at Princess Jing Sheng: "How is this kind of behavior different from treason?"
Wu Tie looked at Du Song again: "Is this sir a member of the Palace of Punishment? Can you ensure that these guards will really not suddenly gather together one day to attack Anyang City? Can you do anything for them? As guarantee?"
Juniper shut her mouth tightly.
They are all Princess Jingsheng's people, and they all colluded with a group of wealthy families in Yuzhou to seek benefits for themselves.
They really didn't expect that they just called for these wealthy families to join forces to deal with Duke Yuzhou to protect their interests... But they really didn't expect that things would become so big.
One hundred and seventy thousand battleships!
Even if they are not military-standard warships, but privately modified warships for civilian use... the number is too terrifying.
What's even worse is that Yuzhou is so close to Anyang City. Even if they don't pass through the space gate, it only takes half a day for a large fleet of flying boats to arrive at a distance of only 80,000 miles. This force indeed poses a huge threat to Anyang City!
How many regular troops are stationed in Anyang City on weekdays
It’s scary to think about it!
Jun Song's body was trembling slightly, and cold sweat oozed out from the back of his heart, quickly soaking the clothes on his back completely. He took two steps back, not daring to face Wu Tie's eyes. He suddenly felt extremely regretful - how could he be dragged into this pirate ship by Princess Jing Sheng
Then, Jun Song saw that the backs of Ma Xiangru and several other people standing in front of him were also wet with sweat.
There are more than a dozen young elites from the Jin Dynasty present. On weekdays, each of them only hangs out with three to five or seventy-eight wealthy families in Yuzhou. They have some understanding of the background of the wealthy families they are close to. .
They estimated that each of the wealthy families they had colluded with could produce dozens of flying warships at a time, which was already a big deal.
Together, more than a dozen of them and the wealthy families who colluded with each other could gather tens of thousands of warships, and they were able to clean up all the subordinates of Duke Yuzhou.
They didn't expect that those wealthy nobles would lay ambushes in every household, and that each of their warships was more than what they thought they would. They didn't expect that Princess Jingsheng would collude with more wealthy families than all of them combined. More.
Four hundred and twenty-five wealthy families gathered together a total of 107,000 warships!
It's terrible!
Princess Jingsheng looked livid and remained silent.
Ma Xiangru and others were covered in sweat and couldn't speak.
They suddenly realized that they seemed to have taken things too seriously.
"Everyone agrees on the first thing, then we have room to discuss the second thing." Wu Tie looked at Princess Jingsheng with a smile: "I don't have to care about what your Highness and your lords have done. After all, Well... good wealth is hard to give away, you all have a huge interest in Yuzhou, and I want to take it back, so it is natural for you to join forces to fight back."
"So, I can pretend that what happened in Yuzhou never happened... I can even submit a memorial to His Majesty, talking about the 107,000 battleships and the countless 'guards' on the battleships... Everyone knows it well. In fact, they are private armies!”
"On those battleships and the escorts on the battleships, I can announce to the outside world that I ordered them to be recruited to form the new Yuzhou State Army." Wu Tie said with a smile: "From now on, the illegal becomes legal. , your biggest sin will be wiped out... It’s just that they will all be my father’s people from now on, do you think that’s okay?”
Ma Xiangru and others exhaled at the same time. Ma Xiangru took a step forward, bowed deeply to Wu Tie and saluted: "Young Master Yuzhou, this matter is okay."
All the servants of Princess Jingsheng exhaled and bowed deeply to Wu Tie.
If Wu Tie is really big-mouthed and the whole city of Anyang is clamoring, saying that Princess Jingsheng colluded with a group of courtiers to plot evil, to raise a private army in Yuzhou in an attempt to raid Anyang City... and even accuse them of colluding with Dawu and attempting to overthrow the Jin Dynasty, They all must die!
Wu Tie promised to change his words and suppress and smooth this matter out. There is no doubt that this saved everyone's lives.
Not to mention saving lives, it at least saved the future of Ma Xiangru and others.
"I have paid so much, so now we can talk about the second matter." Wu Tie murmured: "The four hundred and twenty-five wealthy families, all their servants, guards, maids, etc., will naturally He is my father’s son.”
"All their property, their land, whether it is mountains, forests, farmland, pastures, mines, fisheries, meadows, or even their manors, mansions, chambers of commerce, and shops, all belong to me. Do you agree? ?”
Princess Jingsheng's eyes flashed with crazy light, and she screamed hysterically: "Impossible! That's all my money!"
Wu Tie shook the God-Emperor Order in his hand: "Then, I will arrest His Highness for conspiracy and rebellion, okay?"
Princess Jingsheng's roar suddenly stopped. She stared at Wu Tie blankly, and her body began to tremble violently. Her eyes quickly became bloodshot and turned red, like a crazy she-wolf, staring at Wu Tie extremely fiercely.
"I accept their property with a smile." Wu Tie said calmly: "But their people, the four hundred and twenty-five wealthy families, I don't want."
"Those servants, maids, and guards can serve as my servants, maids, and guards, but those wealthy people... I have thought about it for a while, and I really don't need them."
"Those who can be stupid will follow your orders and gather a large group of private troops to besiege Yuzhou City... Such a stupid family, I don't want any of their clansmen. Therefore, I will clearly mark the price, please His Highness Jing Sheng and all of you Sir, will you buy them back?"
Wu Tie looked at Princess Jingsheng with a smile, and then at Ma Xiangru and others: "There are four hundred and twenty-five wealthy families, with nearly 1.2 million people in their direct and collateral clans... Let us calculate the general ledger. You can take it. One hundred and twenty Heavenly Dao Divine Weapons, and they are corresponding to different Heavenly Dao Divine Weapons with different laws... They will be yours."
Wu Tie said calmly: "Otherwise, if they stay in my hands and are tortured and tortured, and they reveal some unkind confessions towards His Highness and your lords, then don't blame me..."
Wu Tie shook the God Emperor's Order in his hand again.
The order of the God Emperor is as if I were here in person.
With Wu Tie holding the God Emperor's Order, he could capture and kill Ma Xiangru and others on the spot.
Of course, after capturing and killing Ma Xiangru and others, whether Wu Tie can withstand the counterattack of Gongyang Sanli and the Jin civil servant system is another matter. But at least from a legal perspective, Wu Tie could do something against Ma Xiangru and others.
From a legal point of view, it is reasonable and legal, Wu Tie can definitely do this.
Especially if Wu Tie obtains some unfavorable confessions and evidence from those 425 wealthy families... This is obvious. Princess Jingchen, Ma Xiangru and others cannot fail to do so. Some shady things.
Some things cannot withstand investigation.
It was just that no one checked before.
But Wu Tie, who holds the God Emperor's Order, can investigate legitimately.
Once it is found out... Ma Xiangru and others all come from poor families. They are young talents, so their foundation is not deep. They cannot withstand too dangerous storms.
Ma Xiangru and others looked at Princess Jingsheng pitifully.
The handle has been pinched.
They could only ask Princess Jingsheng to make the decision.
In particular, Yuzhou is only one of the hundreds of core states surrounding Anyang City... Their interests are not only in Yuzhou, they also have huge interests of their own in other states.
There is no need to fight Wu Tieyu to the death for a Yuzhou.
Princess Jingsheng suddenly laughed, and she responded as she should. She was as enchanting as a big red peony. She smiled and leaned gently on the soft couch: "What Mr. Yuzhou said is reasonable and well-founded." , taking advantage of the truth, what else can I say?"
"Everything is in compliance with Duke Yuzhou?"
"Hey, this matter is just a small misunderstanding. Mr. Yuzhou won't take it to heart, right?"
"From now on, if Mr. Yuzhou has nothing to do, you can go to my place to sit and come and go often... I, please sweep the couch and wait for him."
Princess Jingsheng winked at Wu Tie.
Wu Tiexiao looked at Princess Jingsheng and did not take her flirtatious look seriously. Compared to Princess Jingsheng, who exudes mature and even mature charm, Wu Tie still appreciates the budding temperament of Pei Feng, Bai Yao, Scarlet Ibis, and Xiaolong.
Smiling slightly, Wu Tie said calmly: "Then, let's make an agreement. Well, I have already drafted a contract on the way here. Come on, let's sign the contract quickly to save us from trouble later!"
"Princess Jingsheng, from now on, Yuzhou will be my private territory... Please don't reach out again." Wu Tie smiled meaningfully at Princess Jingsheng, Ma Xiangru and others.
Princess Jingsheng smiled like a flower.
Ma Xiangru and others were all smiles.
Wu Tie also smiled brightly.
After the group of people signed the contract drawn up by Wu Tie, Wu Tie left Jiuquxi Hall with the Five Elements Elves satisfied.
A long time after Wu Tie left, Princess Jing Sheng suddenly got angry and slapped Ma Xiangru on the face, then kicked him off the platform and fell into the Jiuqu River.
Princess Jingsheng had a gloomy face, and slapped Du Song and others into the Jiuqu River. Then she smiled brightly, with an extremely charming smile, and slowly walked out with a group of silent little eunuchs and maids. go.
"This time, I have learned a lesson... Hee, Ma Xiangru, Jun Song, you must also remember how I and you suffered such shame and humiliation today!" Princess Jingsheng said leisurely: "This account … Let’s do the math slowly. One hundred and twenty pieces of heavenly weapons must be sent to Duke Yuzhou immediately. There must be no delay.”
Ma Xiangru and the others had a gloomy expression and said nothing.
One hundred and twenty pieces of heavenly weapons... and one hundred and twenty pieces of heavenly weapons with different laws of heaven.
From Princess Jingsheng, to the dozen or so high officials in the court, to the many wealthy families they colluded with, their vitality was severely damaged, their vitality was greatly damaged!
Wu Tie's rip-off was too harsh, too harsh.
But if you don’t give it, it really won’t work!
Those four hundred and twenty-five wealthy families, if Princess Jingsheng really doesn't 'redeemed' them, Wu Tie will just get a confession from them that is unfavorable to Princess Jingsheng... If Princess Jingsheng doesn't rescue them, What will happen to them if they are really captured by Wu Tie? How will Princess Jingsheng win over newcomers in the future
Not to mention that there are so many wealthy families and so many civil and military officials around Princess Jingsheng now... If Princess Jingsheng doesn't care about the life and death of the 425 wealthy families in Yuzhou, the people around her will inevitably be miserable. With such a feeling, it is inevitable that she will be alienated from Princess Jingsheng.
"This Duke of Yuzhou..." Ma Xiangru was silent for a long time, slowly climbed onto the platform, and said coldly: "We have a long way to go."
Princess Jing Sheng's phoenix chariot inlaid with gold and jade came out of Jiuquxi Hall. Dozens of guards rode on their mounts and quickly surrounded the phoenix chariot.
Princess Jingsheng was in a bad mood. She glanced at the impenetrable guards around her, scolded them, and drove the guards away, leaving them to follow the phoenix chariot more than a hundred feet away.
This is Anyang City, the imperial capital of the Jin Dynasty. Is it possible that someone would dare to attack her, the most favored princess today, in public
Only Duke Huo Xiong of Yuzhou dares to treat Princess Jing Sheng like this, right
Thinking of 'Huo Xiong's' unsightly face, Princess Jingsheng gritted her teeth with hatred. Her body was trembling slightly, and she stared fiercely at the few little eunuchs and maids serving in the phoenix chariot, scaring them. Everyone was trembling on their knees in the carriage, not daring to move.
"You..." Princess Jingsheng was about to reprimand, when suddenly there was a loud noise, and a carriage rushed out of a street in Xianshan and hit Princess Jingsheng's phoenix chariot.
The phoenix chariot is extremely strong and protected by formations, so it is not damaged at all.
But the pent-up anger in Princess Jingsheng's heart suddenly burst out. With her eyes blazing, she raised the curtains and glared at the ordinary varnished pony carriage that hit her.
In the carriage compartment, two girls were screaming in panic.
From behind, the guards of Princess Jingsheng's Mansion rushed up like wolves and tigers. The leader of the guards grabbed the two girls by their long hair and dragged them out of the carriage.
The driver was apparently a middle-aged servant woman.
Her face was stiff when she got into trouble, and she kept mumbling over and over: "We are people from Guyueju, we are people from Guyueju... Our boss is the director of the Chao Li Temple Jiaofang..."
Princess Jing Sheng pursed her lips and smiled: "Hey, the Supervisor of the Hall of Ceremonies, what a big official... I, I'm so scared!"
"Hit, beat to death!"
Princess Jingsheng glanced at the two girls who were dragged out of the carriage with a complicated expression, and slowly pointed out: "I hate their dirty eyes... Give them to me, dig them out!"
