Chapter 503 Not Hypocritical

A thousand heads, in a blink of an eye, dyed the sky of the capital red.

When the new emperor ascended the throne, he was the first to kill, and he actually asked for a thousand heads.

The courtiers were terrified.

Emperor Wende and the previous emperor were indeed father and son.

The difference is that the late emperor's face was fierce, and he was quick to kill.

Emperor Wende looks like he can speak quite well on weekdays, but once he kills someone, his head will be rolled, not inferior to the previous emperor in the slightest.

Is the new emperor's move to kill the chicken and warn the monkey?

In this case, not only a thousand heads were harvested, but a huge number of people were raided and exiled.

The first evil General Cai's family, hundreds of people, were all exiled to Wuzhou.

Yes, it is Wuzhou, where the crime happened.

I don't know what Emperor Wende thought. He even exiled this group of people to Wuzhou. Are you really afraid that there will be another group fight and ten or eight people will die?

Cases are tried slowly and judged quickly.

A few days later, a torrential rain washed away the blood on the ground of Caishikou, and there was no trace of it.

In early June, the exiles set off for Beijing.

Early in the morning, someone stretched their necks and looked towards the city gate, as if they were waiting for someone.

"Let's go, let's go, it won't come."

The Cai family's out-married daughters were all implicated in this case and were not abandoned by their husband's family, which was considered a good luck.

How dare you expect them to come to see each other.

Let's go, let's go, let's go.

At the last moment, I saw no one, so I could only sigh, and dragged heavy steps to leave the capital.

After leaving, is there any hope of returning to Beijing in this life?

Check it out!

Look at this capital city.

Take a look at one less.

Children, especially, will be buried in that remote and poor place in Wuzhou, facing the loess and back to the sky. In a few decades, who will remember the Cai family in the capital.

Cai Shi Erlang,

Only worthy of being a group of country bumpkins, and will never be considered elegant.

"Woooo..."

There were those parents who cried.

In the first half of my life, I have seen Jin Yi and Jade Food, and everyone who should have seen it has seen it.

It's just that the child suffers, and life has not yet begun, and it has been beaten to the dust.

How can I expect to have any knowledge in this life, even eating and drinking.

The ancestors did the wrong, and the descendants took it.

This family is completely over.

At the gate of the city, inside an inconspicuous carriage, Mrs. Cai's eyes were already red from crying.

The maid also suppressed her crying.

When the exiled person was far away and could no longer be seen, the maid persuaded, "Bao Lin, don't cry, be careful that you will break your body. Let's go back to the house."

Mrs Cai nodded and wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, "I am a conscience. I know they are all looking forward to my appearance, so I can give them a little comfort, even if it is only three or five taels of silver.

But I was afraid, I was very flustered. I was afraid that when I got out of the car, the livelihood of these hundreds of people would be on my shoulders and become a burden on me. I can't carry it, and I don't want to carry it. So I run away shamefully. "

"Bao Lin, don't talk about yourself like that. You can't help yourself. If you want to hate all this, you can hate Mama Xu. Has the Cai family treated her badly? After so many years, the hatred in her heart can't be eliminated." When the maid said it to the end, she was already gnashing her teeth.

Cai's dowry all hated Mother Xu.

Just because Madam Xu ruined the Cai family and also ruined their lives.

They are the dowries of the Cai family, and their families are all in the Cai family.

When something happened to the Cai family, all their family members were sold, and I don't know where they were sold. Is there a chance to see each other again in this life.

Cai Shi was tired of crying, and said, "What do you mean by asking her, is it disgusting?"

"Slave should be damned."

"Forget it, don't let me hear about her in the future."

"The servant knows."

The carriage moved forward slowly and arrived at the palace.

Cai avoided people and returned to the third room from the second door.

The third prince is not here.

The servant said that the third prince had entered the palace.

Cai Shi was curious, "His Royal Highness has no errands, why did he enter the palace?"

The servant said, "Although Your Highness has no errands, you should always enter the palace to greet the ladies. Has Baolin forgotten? His Highness has not married yet."

Cai Shi was immediately stunned.

Yes, His Royal Highness is now a prince, and he must marry a famous and noble girl to be worthy of his status, and give birth to a son early, so as to have the confidence to fight for that position.

Cai Shi laughed at herself, has she been stupid recently? I didn't even remember such an important thing.

"I don't know which girl your Highness wants to marry?"

"I think it's those noble families, or marrying a few elders in the court."

"I heard someone say two days ago that His Highness asked about the Pei family. Could it be that His Highness wants to marry a girl from the Pei family?"

"No way. The Empress will definitely not agree."

Cai Shi was in a daze, and she couldn't afford to provoke Pei's family or another family.

Now, she can only be a man with her tail tucked.

She was exiled after marrying the Third Highness Liu Yan early, so she was freed from the crime.

Cai wanted to cry, but the tears had already dried up.

At this time, she heard another thing mentioned by the next person.

"The Hu family has been very diligent in recent days. I don't know if they are thinking of His Highness's marriage."

Cai Shi suddenly raised his head.

"The Hu family really came?"

"Don't dare to hide it from Baolin, this is absolutely true."

The Hu family is the uncle's house of the Third Highness Liu Yan.

The biological mother of the Third Highness Liu Yan passed away early, and the Hu family had less contact with the palace. Also during the Chinese New Year, someone will be sent to the palace to give the third highness a new year's gift.

Now that Liu Yan is the prince, the Hu family quickly posted it.

Liu Yan needed help and the help of his uncle's family, so he abandoned his previous suspicions and became intimate with the Hu family.

The Cai family has recently been worried about the Cai family, and has ignored such important information.

She suddenly realized that the Third Highness is likely to marry a girl from the Hu family, even if she is not a full wife, she will be given a position.

Cai shi gritted his teeth, "Okay, don't talk about it. No matter who your Highness will marry in the future, everyone just keeps your duty."

The Hu family really wanted to marry their daughter to the Third Highness Liu Yan, but Liu Yan did not object.

However, the Hu family's family background is ordinary, and the girl of the Hu family cannot be his wife.

Liu Yan had already made a plan in his heart. Even if his wife was not from a top family, she should be a famous lady in the circle.

He entered the palace and begged to go to Emperor Wende.

I want Emperor Wende to refer him to marriage as soon as possible.

He was already twenty years old, he didn't even have a child, and he was in a hurry.

However, Emperor Wende thought more.

Arranging the prince's marriage is a huge expense, at least tens of thousands of taels, and a little more directly up to 100,000 taels.

Now let alone tens of thousands of taels, even if it is a few thousand taels, Emperor Wende is not willing to take it out.

So, he said to His Highness Liu Yan, "Your marriage, as well as the marriage of the fifth and sixth, I have already made people pay attention. When there is a suitable candidate, I will give your brothers marriages. What about you, Don't worry. Take good care of your body first, and then you can talk about raising children."

Liu Yan was disappointed, "Whether the royal father can bestow the marriage first, it doesn't matter if the wedding date is set for next year."

"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, don't you understand the truth? Step back, I still have a lot of things to do."

Liu Yan was helpless and could only retreat.

He went to see Empress Dowager Pei.

The Queen Mother Xiao also told him not to worry.

"The late emperor was too much tossing, leaving a pile of messes. Your Majesty is worried about state affairs all day long, and the national treasury is empty, so you can't take care of you for the time being. Your aunt Huyang is still the title of the county master, and your majesty will not grant the title. ,Do you understand?"

The Empress Dowager Xiao implicitly reminded the Third Highness Liu Yan that the treasury was empty and there was no money to arrange the marriage. If you want to get married, just wait.

Liu Yan's face was pale, "Is the imperial court so difficult?"

"Who said no. So many people are counting on the national treasury for food. In addition to the frequent natural disasters in recent years, there is a need for tax reduction and disaster relief everywhere. It is also very difficult for His Majesty to support such a big mess."

Liu Yan said with guilt: "I just hate that I don't have the ability to take care of the father and the emperor."

"It's just that you are a filial person. For your father's words, take good care of your body. Only when your body is nourished can you take care of your children."

The third highness, Liu Yan, left the palace in disappointment.

After returning to the palace, he found the housekeeper and asked how much property Gongzhong has now and how much balance he has.

The housekeeper naturally refused to tell him, "Your Highness, don't make it difficult."

Liu Yan was displeased, "Just ask how many properties there are in the mansion, and see how embarrassed you are."

The housekeeper was aggrieved, "His Royal Highness should also know that today's property in the palace is nominally hanging in the palace, but in reality, the young palace is sending people to take care of it. The specific profit situation, the small really doesn't know."

"Don't you even know the account?"

"The accountant is only responsible for asking for money from the Shaofu and making a running account."

Liu Yan frowned, "Why let the young mansion take care of the royal mansion's property?"

"The property of the royal palace was originally purchased by your majesty. Everything under your majesty is taken care of by the young palace. Those properties should also be taken care of by the young palace. Even the queen concubine also handed over the dowry to the young palace. Niangniang's companions have all taken errands in the Shaofu and have official status."

"really?"

"Of course this is true. Hasn't your Highness heard of it before?"

The Third Highness Liu Yan shook his head, there were too few people around him, and the information was not well-informed.

He didn't know the news that everyone else knew, and he was suffocated in his heart.

His face was not good-looking, and his attitude was a little tough to send the housekeeper.

After thinking about it, he still went to the Second Highness.

Both are descendants, and in a sense, the interests of the two are the same.

Several brothers in this mansion are about to form gangs and divide into small groups to fight in secret.

Emperor Wende did not care about his sons at all.

Even if he knew in advance that several sons would fight, Emperor Wende guessed that it would not matter.

He has always supported his sons fighting each other, as long as they don't fight with their lives.

What brothers and sisters, that's all bullshit.

Knowing that it was fake, Emperor Wende did not ask his sons to act in front of him.

Emperor Wende is stronger than the previous emperor in this respect, and he is not hypocritical.

What he cannot do himself, he will not force his sons to do.

For example, brother and brother Gong, he can't do it.

So the sons can fight if they want.

Wenditt thought about it.

It is also the most thoughtful person among the emperors.

His harem is also in this style.

He didn't expect the women in the harem to be kind, so he didn't force the family to act in front of him.

Queen Pei complained about his woman, and he listened cheerfully.

Empress Dowager Xiao complained about his daughter-in-law, and he listened happily.

But the concubines, who dares to complain about the queen and the queen mother in his face, I'm sorry, everything follows the rules.

Emperor Wende did not ask the women to be kind, but he also did not allow anyone to break the rules.

He has the same requirements for his sons. It's okay to fight, but don't break the rules.

Whoever dares to break the rules, he will use the rules to teach others.

...

Midsummer, dawn early.

Jingcheng woke up early from his sleep.

Deng Cunli took someone to check the inside and outside of the courtyard to ensure that today's tea party can be held smoothly.

He glanced at the sky, "Prepare a hundred more umbrellas, it might rain today. Ask the kitchen to prepare enough ingredients. The lady said that today's buffet must impress all the guests. More Bring some drinks.

In short, prepare as much as possible. In case of rain, guests will stay longer. Don't make a little preparation, don't even have nothing to eat or drink in the end, and your wife's face will be disgraced by you. "

The people took orders and acted quickly.

This other courtyard is the property of the owner of Huyang County.

Last time, in order to repair the three halls, Gu Jiu held the first ever bidding meeting here.

Those who were fortunate enough to have seen the grand occasion at the beginning will not forget it.

This time, it is still in this other courtyard, but the decoration of the other courtyard has already changed its style.

Bai Zhong came to Deng Cunli and asked, "Will Madam come today?"

"Brother Yu catches a cold, and Madam is afraid that she won't be able to walk away."

Bai Zhong suddenly panicked, "It's up to us to hold this tender tea party, can it be done?"

Deng Cunli went to one of the chairs, and no one dared to underestimate him as soon as his aura came out.

"Why can't we do it? We do millions of dollars in business every year. What's the matter, are you still afraid of those rich people?"

Bai Zhong waved his hand, "Naturally, I am not afraid of rich people. But I heard that some of the people who came back this time are from local prominent families in Luozhou, as well as a few aristocratic families. In addition, here in the capital, the family members of several adults are also will attend.

These people who came here were inconspicuous, but they couldn't stand the big man standing behind them. Madam does not show up, what if others treat us neglected? "

Deng Cunli laughed, "Don't worry, even if Madam doesn't show up, Huyang County Master will definitely attend. Madam has already greeted Huyang County Master and asked her to help support the scene."

"really?"

"This is absolutely true."

But Bai Zhong said, "I'm even more nervous. It's good that the Huyang County Master doesn't come. When she comes, I really don't know what the tea party will be like today. What if I can't complete the task given by the lady?"

Gu Jiu's mission goal for the two was to use the tea party to raise funds of one million taels of silver.

Raising funds towards a specific target is the hardest part.

The road from Beijing to Luozhou passes through more than a dozen counties.

In these counties, all those who were famous and had the right to speak locally were invited to the capital.

In addition to the large households in Luozhou and the capital, Gu Jiu made a death rule that he must raise funds from these people.

These people, even if they are kidnapped, must be tied to the road-building pirate ship.

Road construction involves all aspects, and coordination with local officials and people is required wherever the road passes.

This requires well-known local people to come forward to help resolve various conflicts of interest and disputes.

In the construction of roads in modern society, various disputes and conflicts are inevitable, not to mention the construction of roads in ancient times.

Gu Jiu knew how much he weighed.

In the capital, if there is a problem, she can solve it by herself.

But in the local area, the locals still speak well.

Therefore, in every county that this road passes through, at least two well-known local families must be attracted to invest.

This ensures the smooth progress of the project.

This task is not easy to accomplish.

So Bai Zhong was very worried, he was afraid that he would not be able to complete the task.

"What are you worried about?"

Princess Fuya's youngest son, Huang Qubing, walked in with a fan, dressed as a romantic boy.

Bai Zhong was familiar with him and jumped up, "Why are you here today?"

"My sister-in-law asked me to come forward to support the show, and I naturally want to come. And I also invested money in this cement road."

Bai Zhong asked curiously, "How much did you invest?"

Huang Qubing grinned, "Not much, maybe a hundred thousand."

Bai Zhong smiled and said, "We also invested money."

"I know! You have made a lot of money with your sister-in-law over the years. Eunuch Deng, you are rich now."

Deng Cunli's face was serious, "Young Master Huang, don't joke around. What kind of wealth is our family?"

Bai Zhong toppled, "Eunuch Deng is the richest man among us."

That's because Deng Cunli has a lot of money and courage.

When he started the Yuhua Alley project, no one was optimistic, but he invested 3,000 taels in one breath and took out the coffin book.

The best way to make money in the world is to make money.

As a result, Deng Cunli became the richest among all the people under Gu Jiu's name.

Deng Cunli asked curiously, "Young Master Huang invested 100,000 taels in one breath, so you're not afraid that you won't be able to get your money back?"

Huang Qubing laughed, "What are you afraid of, my son. There is a toll station in fifty miles, and there is no toll for pedestrians. When passing a horse, it costs three cents for a car, three cents for a horse, and three cents for a donkey.

Sanwen money is indeed small, but it can't stand to gather less into more. I am very optimistic about the prospects of this cement road. After it is repaired, there will definitely be cars coming and going, and pedestrians will be in an endless stream. That little bit of capital can be recovered in a few years. After that, every penny is earned.

I have sent people south to Los Angeles to buy property. When this road is repaired, the land prices in Luozhou will rise a bit. If you have money, hurry up and buy some property. Next year, the road is repaired, and if you sell it, you can make a fortune. "
