State-owned emperor Ji grows up
Nangongda finally smiled: "Little sister Gao Yi, what do you brothers think?"
The three princes, who were older than Nangongda, chose to remain silent. The sixth prince, Nangong Lie, seemed to have nothing to do with him. The seventh prince, Nangongli said in a very low voice: "Fifth brother, you know... No savings."
Qi Yan looked at Nangong Li, the other party's slightly frightened and innocent expression was just right.
She couldn't help raising the corners of her mouth, and seeing this scene, Nangong Li's face turned red.
Nangongda never expected that the good start would be broken by a younger brother who had always been taciturn. With Nangongli's words, the other older princes seemed to have found a way to prevaricate, and the old gods sat silently there. .
Nangong Jingnu was about to say something, but Qi Yan held the back of her hand.
She turned her head in surprise and saw Qi Yan staring at her calmly, forgetting her words for a while.
Nangongda's hand pressed the cane again, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Qi Yan originally thought that Nangong Jingnu would listen to her this time, but she felt that the other party pulled out her hand and sat up straight.
Qi Yan let out a weak sigh in her heart, and said before Nangong Jingnu said, "Since Your Majesty has appointed His Royal Highness to take on the important task of supervising the country, these memorials... I should ask His Highness to make a decision."
Nangong Wang nodded: "That's right, although this world belongs to our Nangong family, it has always been a taboo for a prince to engage in government affairs. In the future, his father, Huanglongti Kangtai, will be blamed."
Nangong Jingnu couldn't help frowning, she could feel Qi Yan preventing her from helping Fifth Brother, but she couldn't understand why he did it!
Seeing Nangongda clenching his fist to his lips and holding a cane in the other, he felt more and more pity: Fifth brother's body is not good, and his temperament is also the most gentle of all princes.
Nangong Jingnu: "The third brother is wrong."
Qi Yan raised her eyebrows and pursed her lips.
Hearing the words, the second prince and the third prince both asked inversely, "What do you mean by this little sister?"
Nangong Jingnv straightened her waist, her beautiful eyes swept away, and her daughter's aura was full: "Since the father has ordered the fifth brother to supervise the country, his words are equal to the father's words. If the father is calling you to discuss matters today, will you be? Dare to take the attitude that it's none of your business?"
One sentence choked everyone present at a loss for words. Nangong Jingnu smiled and said to Nangong Da, "What do you want to say, fifth brother?"
A smile appeared on Nangongda's slightly pale face, and he cleared his throat and said cautiously: "The imperial treasury is empty, and the top priority is to increase income and reduce expenditure. These four words... It's simple to say, but it's a long-term plan. I think hard about these six points. On three days, the priorities were roughly divided. Spring plowing is the top priority for farmers, and the treasury for grain and seeds must be released. Mausoleum... The father emperor has been on the throne for more than ten years and has been conscientious and dedicated to the country and the people. This matter cannot be stopped, let alone wait... Next to it, it can be temporarily slowed down. Just like the younger sister said that the unknown palace can be put aside for a while. , and then the chief examiner of the scientific examination, the repair of the examination institute. Cao Gong, the update of the weapons of the officials and the local troops is not at this time, what do you think?"
Qi Yan listened to Nangongda's words quietly, and what the other party said was justified...
Nangong Jingnv: "The fifth brother is right. You can tell us what to do."
Nangongda: "It's just the source of income and expenditure... I would like to ask you all to generously donate some amount of money to help farmers overcome difficulties. Of course, this money can be recorded in the national treasury... I will pay you back when the tax revenue is considerable in the coming year. The father was ill, and he told him not to disturb him to recover if there was no important matter. I checked the expenses of the harem yesterday, and I spent thousands of taels of silver every day. "Second brother, Concubine Hui has a noble background, if she can lead the way..."
Nangong Wei snorted coldly, "It's not a problem for the fifth brother to squeeze out our peers, and he's going to stretch his hands into the harem?"
The fourth prince, Nangong Zhen, expressed his reconsideration, and the third prince, Nangong Wang, snorted coldly: "It's really hard for us to come forward about the elders, so the fifth brother should go to the father and ask for a decree."
Nangong Shunv, who had been silent all the time, said, "How much does the fifth brother need us to pledge? You can tell us the number, and we have a good heart."
Nangong Da saw that the reduction of the cost of the harem might not be able to be negotiated today, so he went down this slope.
"According to the statistics of the Ministry of Household, at least 500,000 taels of silver are needed for farming this time, half of which can be squeezed out of the treasury, and the remaining 250,000 taels will be claimed by our brothers and sisters..."
Qi Yan remained calm, she was still clear about the situation of the Wei Kingdom's court: let alone 500,000 taels, even a few million taels of silver... Then, what did he mean when he started to sing the crowd
Nangong Jingnv also had the same confusion, but before she could speak again, Qi Yan had already made a decision for her: "In this case, our Princess Zhen Zhen's residence has pledged 50,000 taels, but there is no cash... You can choose from the treasury. Some things were sold and handed over."
There was a gap between what Qi Yan said and Nangong Jingnu's estimate, but she had no objection to Qi Yan's serious expression and serious eyes.
The next thing was a lot easier. The 250,000 taels of silver was just a drop in the bucket for the few sitting there. After easily claiming the share and having a few words of gossip, they went their separate ways.
Sitting on the carriage back to the residence, Qi Yan's brain was running fast...
Why did Nangongda do this? Did he want to use the remaining money for other purposes, or did he say...
Suddenly, Qi Yan thought of a possibility!
Nangongda is trying to make this kind of pledge become the norm, or he is just passing on the contradiction!
In the future, there may be more and more donations, and the amount will become larger and larger... Then another leader who is actively advocating today will gradually become the target of public criticism!
Fortunately, fortunately, I stopped Nangong Jingnu, and fortunately Nangong Shunv also appeared at the critical moment, otherwise...
When everyone's attention or anger is focused on the Princess Mansion, is Nangongda planning to do something else secretly for Chen Cang
"Qi Yan!"
Nangong Jingnu's call pulled Qi Yan back from her thoughts. She turned her head and saw a trace of anger hidden in the other's beautiful eyebrows.
"Your Highness?"
Nangong Jingnu's brows furrowed, and she thought about her words and asked, "Why did you stop me just now?"
Qi Yan blurted out without thinking, "Why did Your Highness say this?" Over the past two years, she has become accustomed to using Tai Chi to deal with Nangong Jingnu.
Nangong Jingnu was slightly disappointed, she sighed and cast her eyes out of the car window. After a long time, she said leisurely, "The fifth brother can completely stay out of it..." If it weren't for him, the fifth brother would not face so much pressure.
Nangong Jingnv believes that she is the one who pushed Nangongda to the cusp, so before the situation stabilizes, she has the obligation and responsibility to help Nangongda share the pressure, and she has the money and the strength to contribute.
Qi Yan looked at Nangong Jingnu's profile, and for the first time felt at a loss.
There was silence in the carriage, Nangong Jingnv seemed to have been waiting for Qi Yan to say something, but it was the coachman who was waiting to tell them: The Concubine's House has arrived.
Nangong Jingnu glanced at Qi Yan lightly: "Go back."
"Yes."
Qi Yan stood in front of the mansion and watched the carriage go away, went back and changed into a suit and went straight to Xie An's mansion.
Originally, Nangongda was not in Qi Yan's near-term plan, so he can only blame him for stretching his hand too long...
Didn't he want to use Nangong Jingnu to divert his attention
Didn't he want to use Nangong Jingnu as his shield
She just wouldn't let him do it! The only person in this world who can use Nangong Jingnu is himself.
Qi Yanmi met with Nangong Wang, told the other party that Nangongda might have been keeping a low profile, and explained to the other party that it was appropriate to "ventilate" with the second prince so that the forces in their hands would be inactive.
On the other side, before the carriage reached the entrance of the Princess Mansion, Nangong Jingnu turned around...
She thinks that Nangongda's idea of reducing the cost of the harem is very meaningful, but it is indeed inconvenient for the prince to come forward in this matter...
Although Concubine Liang is not as high as Concubine Hui, she still has a decisive voice in the harem. As long as she persuades her, and then asks the second sister to persuade Ya Fei, the possibility of success is very high.
This is the first time that Nangong Jingnu has crossed Qi Yan and made a major decision, and it has also made Qi Yan's subsequent efforts all in vain.
Jingjia ten years, in April.
The entire territory of the Wei Kingdom has returned to spring. The upper reaches of the Tianguluo River have become enlightened, coupled with the heavy rains that have fallen for several days, an urgent report has been sent to the capital-Luo River in many places along the banks of the dykes, which have affected more than 30 counties in six prefectures...
Nangong Da begged to see Nangong Rang, who had been in bed all night, with an imperial decree: order the emperor's third son, Nangong Wang, to be the imperial commissioner, go to the affected counties and counties to deal with the floods, supervise the relief and pensions of the people, and give Yu Jian;
Many courtiers saw the signs: the second prince was sent to Luobei for training before, and now the fifth prince has sent the third prince out to supervise the country. His Majesty may be investigating the candidate for the state heir.
Nangong Wang attached great importance to this, and asked Nangong Da to ask for many officials to accompany him.
The Minister of the Household: Lu Zhongxing, the eldest son of the Taiwei's Mansion, and the Minister of Industry: Princess Zhen Zhen and the consort Qi Yan are all on the list.
According to Tiansi Guan's calculations, three days later will be an auspicious day for travel, and Qi Yan returned to the Princess Mansion as a matter of course.
Nangong Jingnv crossed Qi Yan to persuade the concubine of the harem to decide the rules, and the two of them had a very unpleasant quarrel. Qi Yan has not returned to the princess' residence for more than a month.
Before leaving, the two tacitly suppressed the unhappiness in their hearts, had dinner together, and played chess in the room.
The red light was hung up in front of the dormitory without any instructions. The palace lantern was placed on the small table at the head of the bed.
No one mentioned the matter of the court, as if everything had returned to the past.
Nangong Jingnu suddenly sat up, clutching her stomach with a weird expression!
Qi Yan: "Your Highness?"
Nangong Jingnu's expression changed a bit, and she looked down...
In the middle of the white trousers, a plum blossom bloomed.
