The Evil Emperor Pursues His Wife: Sheng Chong Shifei

Chapter 310
Chu Qianhan came out of the palace and saw many courtiers waiting onlookers, he did not go up to greet them, but sent someone to invite Shangguan Wenhe to go over, and the two returned to the vacant house together.

This is the classic building left by Shangguan Qing to the capital.

There are already many buildings in the capital that are similar to the big house, but in terms of classics, it is difficult to surpass the second big house of the Shangguan family. One is the problem of cost, and the other is that the Chen family deliberately avoided building such a style of building.

The picture scrolls and secretaries in the big house were sent back, and everything was restored to its original state as much as possible.

These are only superficial. The manuscripts and notes in Shangguan Qing's study have been copied and pirated into many editions, which circulated in the market and also spread Shangguan Qing's academics.

Chu Qianhan invited Shangguan Wenhe to take a seat in the study, and he made tea for the old man himself.

Shangguan Wenhe sat down after thanking him, and after drinking a cup of tea, Chu Qianhan briefly introduced Qiongya's situation, without asking whether Shangguan Wenhe was going to Qiongya.

At the beginning, the Senate decided to send Shangguan's family to Qiongya, but Shangguan Wenhe insisted on not going, and the whole family stayed in Qiongya.

"Father-in-law, Qing'er still hopes that you can go there."

Shangguan Wenhe shook his head and said, "If I go, there is really no way to get back."

"Let father-in-law bother." Chu Qianhan understood Shangguan Wenhe's judgment. Shangguan Wenhe still valued the strength of the capital, and he didn't want the two sides to become stalemate, so they had room to maneuver.

What Shangguan Wenhe really didn't want to give up was his power in the imperial court. He and Shangguan Qing were not that close. Everything he did was for the Shangguan family, and the married daughter was not considered the Shangguan family's recognition.

The eldest daughter of Shangguan Wenhe, Shangguan Xiao, was handed over to a military general from the northwest, and now life has become difficult. An Ronghou Ma Tao was left at home, and he dared not go out to drink and banquet on weekdays, for fear of being caught by the officials. What to talk about.

A few days ago, Ma Tao was having a barbecue at home, and he could see some flames, so some officials impeached Ma Tao for having strange lights at night in his home, and his intentions were wrong.

The reason is nonsense to a certain level.

If Shangguan Wenhe was still in the capital and firmly occupied the important position of Pingzhang's military and state affairs, Ma Tao's family would have been ransacked and exterminated long ago.

Shangguan Wenhe changed the subject and asked about today's affairs.

Chu Qianhan did not hide anything, and revealed the decision of the Senate, including the deal with Chu Qianren.

"My lord, is this really appropriate?" Shangguan Wenhe felt that he should not deal with the Ma family.

"It's just a business. Qiongya Armory needs to increase production, and all resources must be utilized." Chu Qianhan didn't care, and all available resources must be utilized.

"If the Ma family's military becomes stronger, it may pose a threat to the imperial court."

"I will not provide the Ma family with enough military resources, let alone the best ammunition." Chu Qianhan had already calculated that it would be impossible to satisfy all the trade requirements of the Ma family.

Speaking of this, Shangguan Wenhe let go of his heart, and explained: "The west of Beijing was defeated, and some remnant soldiers have returned in the past few days. Some people from Yushitai want to jointly impeach the prince, and the sixteenth prince may take some actions. "

"Let him go." Chu Qianhan sat firmly on the Diaoyu Island, turning a blind eye to the chaos outside.

"The sixteenth prince is in charge of the Merchant's Study Room of the Ministry of Accounts. Recently, a municipal benefit law was issued to increase the operating tax of merchants in the capital. The Shangshu of the Ministry of Accounts, Wang Qiushan, opposed it, but it was useless. The court was short of money."

"It's not the first day that I'm short of money." Chu Qianhan frowned slightly.

Shangguan Qing’s layout in the capital has already provided the imperial court with more taxes than in the past, but the money is still not enough to spend. Chu Qianping raised the business tax again. Although the merchants can bear it, once there will be a second time. If this continues, the capital will surely fall into depression and chaos.

"It's just nonsense." Shangguan Wenhe also understood.

"With my current status, I can't talk about this with my father, so I can only let him go." Chu Qianhan was also in a dilemma. He took the initiative to tear himself apart from the capital and could not interfere in the affairs of the capital at will.

Not wanting to talk about these things anymore, Chu Qianhan took out a script for Shangguan Wenhe to read. This is a casual book that Shangguan Qing copied when he had nothing to do, and it was called "The Scholars".

Shangguan Wenhe picked it up and read a few pages, then laughed angrily at the content inside.

"Qing'er is still the same, not forgiving with her mouth, nor with her pen."

"The Scholars" has been regarded as an ancient satirical realistic novel, and some of the historical settings were changed by Shangguan Qing to the state of Chu, but it is still embarrassing to read it out.

This is the lazy rascal in the official's bones.

Chu Qianhan was chatting with Shangguanwen and reading books, but inside and outside the court were busy. All the weapons of the Imperial City Imperial Army were transferred away, and the Imperial Army who replaced them with swords and spears almost mutinied.Knowing the benefits of muskets, who is willing to fight with people with big knives and spears? This is tantamount to letting them go to death.

The imperial court managed to suppress the backlash of the imperial army, and when collecting the trading materials, some troubles were created. The cruel officials below were simply robbing when collecting the materials, and the cases in the middle were more and more excessive. Countless family bankruptcy.

Neither Chu Qianhan nor Shangguan Qing expected such a situation to happen.

They all took the morality of court officials too high. Although they had already drawn the moral standards of officials on their heels, they didn't expect that there was a basement below.

On the second day after Chu Qianhan returned to the capital, Chu Qianren, who was imprisoned, asked himself to be demoted to a commoner. Emperor Chu Huaitian granted the matter, and Chu Qianren could no longer be named Chu, but changed his surname to Luo, and from then on he changed his name to Luo. Loren.

The identity of Luoren's wife, Anyuan Princess Ma Yuhua, was not deprived, and Luoren moved to live in Wujiangkou in the south of Beijing as Anyuan's son-in-law.

This is the tacit consent of the secret transaction between Qiongya and Northwest.

At this time, the Ma family in the northwest was completely in disarray, and a large group of dog-shaped monsters rushed out of the plane crack that appeared in the galloping horse city, causing a large number of casualties in the galloping horse city.

Benma City is located in the hinterland of the Ma family territory. The defenders in the city are very outdated in equipment. In order to prevent the food in the city from catching fire, they are not equipped with fire gas. The defenders fought against the dog-shaped monsters with knives and guns, and were quickly defeated.

The masters of the Ma family dispatched urgently to repel the dog-shaped monster, and rescued part of the food stored in the city of Benma with space equipment.

"Is there no news from the capital yet?" The only thing the Ma family can count on now is the support from the capital of Chu State, and the northern barbarians are totally unreliable.

Now the Ma family is extremely regretful. Why did they raise the rebellion flag? It is simply a death.

The anti-war faction took the opportunity to seize power and suppressed the main station faction. Ma Sanguan, the new head of the Ma family, once again sent envoys to the capital to discuss surrender with the royal family.

Chu Huaitian sent the envoy to Wujiangkou, and asked him to discuss with Luo Ren in private. As for the surrender, Chu Huaitian had no intention of taking over the mess of the Ma family.
