V2.Chapter 350

"The second thing is a happy event." Tang Yin stood up, walked slowly in front of Shangguan Yuanji with her hands on her back, and said with a smile: "I helped you find a lady! She is very beautiful, beautiful as a flower, outstanding temperament, good family background, noble birth and respected..."

"Wait, wait!" Shangguan Yuanji was more and more confused. He asked uncertainly, "the king said he had found a lady for me? What does the king mean..."

"I mean to marry you." Tang Yin said with a smile, "Yuanji, I heard that you haven't got a wife in the main room until now. That's not good. The woman I'm looking for for for you is Liang Yanqiu, the daughter of Liang Feiyun, the chief uncle of the state of Zhen. It's a match with you. I think you two are just right."

It turns out that the king wants to marry Liang Feiyun himself! Shangguan Yuanji was so clever that after listening to Tang Yin, he understood what he meant. It is impossible to make accurate statistics on the specific number of Zhen people who have moved to the wind country, but more than 8 million have been recorded alone. So many Zhen people suddenly came to the wind country. Once there was chaos, the consequences would be unimaginable. As a great Pope, Liang Feiyun is highly respected among Zhen people. He can be described as the spiritual leader of Zhen people. His attitude towards the wind country will also directly affect Zhen people's attitude towards the wind country. If the king wants to marry Liang Feiyun himself, he is bound to the wind country. As long as he stands on the side of the wind country, millions of Zhen people will not be in chaos.

Intellectually speaking, Shangguan Yuanji doesn't think there is anything wrong with the king's doing this, but from a personal emotional point of view, the major event of marriage should be controlled by others, and he will be a little unhappy.

He smiled bitterly and said, "when did the king begin to like being a matchmaker?"

Tang Yin raised her eyebrows, He said solemnly: "Why? Yuanji, you're not satisfied with my arrangement? I'm also doing it for your own good. Liang's parents' daughter has the appearance of sinking fish and falling geese, closing the moon and ashamed of flowers, which others can't think of! Do you think people have to marry you? Do you think I have to marry for you? I don't know how many ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are eyeing aunt Liang, such as Jiang Fan, Wu Guang, Yuan Wu and Yuan Biao, who are unmarried Many ministers have gone. If you don't agree, I'll find someone else in Lima. "

Seeing that things couldn't be discussed, ah Si wisely interrupted: "the Prime Minister of Shangguan, the king didn't exaggerate. Miss Liang is really beautiful and can be called one in a million. It's better not to rush to object. Go to see Miss Liang first. Maybe Miss Liang may not be able to see the Prime Minister of Shangguan!"

"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded his head and said, "Zhen people are martial arts. Women always like Kong Wu's majestic men. Yuanji, tell me about you. You can't lift your hands or resist your shoulders. Why can people look up to you? I think ah Si is right. I'll arrange for you to meet first, see if it fits your eyes, and talk about the marriage slowly!"

Listening to Tang Yin and ah Siyi sing and make peace, Shangguan Yuanji reluctantly shakes his head. It seems that it is impossible for him to refuse. He is silent for a moment, nods and says, "OK! Please ask the king to arrange a meeting between Weichen and Miss Liang first."

"Well, that's right!" Tang Yin smiled and patted Shangguan Yuanji on the shoulder.

Leaving the palace, Captain Yuanji went to the Lieutenant's house to pick up people. Although there is an army in the Lieutenant's house, it is not under the control of Zuo Xiang Qiu Zhen. Captain Yuan Ji is the immediate boss of the Lieutenant's house. It is naturally easy for him to mention people. Without much talking, he brought Xia fan out. But he didn't leave immediately. He talked with Gu Chen for a long time and understood the whole story. Then he returned to the palace and replied to Tang Yin. As for Xia fan, after taking him out of the Lieutenant's house, he put him directly home.

After arriving at the palace and meeting Tang Yin, Shangguan Yuanji told Tang Yin about Xia fan's injury.

The thing is very simple, that is, Xia fan and the businessman who was killed had dinner in the same restaurant. Because of a small matter, there was friction, verbal disagreement and a big fight. At that time, both of them had servants around, and the scene of the fight was chaotic. The merchant's domestic servant was not the opponent of Xia fan's servant, and all of them were injured. As for the merchant, unfortunately, he was hit hard on the head and internal organs in a row in the scuffle, so he couldn't do it on the spot.

There are no twists and turns in the whole thing. It is clear at a glance. Although there are mistakes on both sides, Xia fan killed someone here after all. He can't escape the blame. It's reasonable for the Lieutenant's house to arrest him.

After reporting everything to Tang Yin, Shangguan Yuanji wanted to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back and stopped talking.

Tang Yin smiled and asked, "Yuanji, what else do you want to say?"

Shangguan Yuanji frowned and said, "when I talked to general Gu Chen, he mentioned that it seemed nothing on the surface, but in fact there was something wrong."

Tang Yin blinked, picked up the file brought by Shangguan Yuanji, read it from beginning to end, and didn't feel anything wrong. He asked suspiciously, "what did Gu Chen say?"

Shangguan Yuanji Road: "General Gu Chen said that Xia fan is the real brother of the empress. Although he is a little pretentious, he is not bad in nature. He has never done anything to bully others and harm nature. Even if there have been fights before, he is the son of powerful people and has never involved ordinary people. But this time, he is because of a trivial and trivial matter , killing a businessman alive is really unusual and makes people feel that there is something strange. "

The speaker is careless and the listener is intentional. Tang Yin knows Gu Chen very well. He is a native of Yancheng and now the deputy commander of the Lieutenant's residence. He knows the situation in the capital like the back of his hand. He doesn't know anything.

It sounds that he thinks highly of Xia fan, but it doesn't agree with the Queen's words. In Ya Tong's mouth, Xia fan is nothing and knows to make trouble.

Compared with Ya Tong, Tang Yin naturally believes Gu Chen's words more. However, why does Ya Tong lie? Is it intended to belittle his brother and lower his posture, so as to beg himself to let Xia fan go?

Tang Yin was really hard to understand. He asked, "did you find out the identity of the businessman?"

"General Gu Chen has found out. He is indeed a businessman who came to the capital from Ningdi to do business. His family is innocent and very rich. He has no problem doing business for generations. Moreover, he has nothing to do with Xia fan and Xia family." Shangguan Yuanji replied.

"That's strange." Tang Yin couldn't help laughing, picked up the file again, looked at it and muttered: "according to Gu Chen's meaning, Xia fan should deliberately kill each other, but the other party is innocent and still lives in Ningdi. He is a peaceful person. He can't fight with Xia fan at all... Why deliberately kill each other?"

"Wei Chen also feels strange!" Shangguan Yuanji said: "there is only one explanation. General Gu Chen overestimates Xia fan. Maybe he is a dandy. He is used to bullying others. He thinks he is the Queen's brother and the national uncle. No one will pay attention to him."

Tang Yin shrugged and casually said, "maybe!"

As he spoke, he closed the file and handed it to captain Yuanji. He said, "anyway, this matter is over. There is no need to check it again. As for the claim, you can tell the Lieutenant's house to deal with it. The Xia family is very rich. The Lieutenant's house can also take the opportunity to blackmail!"

Shangguan Yuanji said: "extortion comes and goes, in fact, it's all our own money. Most of the money of the Xia family is given by the queen. The Queen's money comes from the palace, and the money of the palace is given by the king."

Tang Yin picked up the cup, blew the tea foam on it, took a sip, and asked, "are you complaining that I shouldn't pay tribute to the palace and cut off the food of the palace?"

Shangguan Yuanji said, "China's National Treasury has been difficult to be rich. Just because the burden is too heavy, China has to pay for the maintenance of such a large palace and the ministers of the imperial court. Over time, it costs a lot."

Tang Yin sighed, took another sip of tea and said, "there's no way. There's no free dinner in the world, and the pie won't fall in vain. If the emperor can be used by us, we have to pay a considerable price! The world is fair."

Shangguan Yuanji smiled and said, "the king can see."

"What else can we do? We can't really let the emperor starve to death in the wind country!" Tang Yin tapped the cup with her fingers.

"There's a way." Shangguan Yuanji said, "move the imperial palace to the palace in Wancheng. If the place is small, there will be fewer people. In addition, the ministers of the imperial court can also be appropriately dismissed. They can eat salaries every month without doing anything. It's too cheap for these people."

If you do so, don't say that the people will be dissatisfied. You can't even pass Yin rou. He waved his hand and said, "we'll talk about it later. Now, we have to focus on the war against Mozambique."

Hearing this, Shangguan Yuanji understood that the king did not intend to reduce the expenses of the Imperial Palace and the imperial court. Since the king didn't want to, he nodded and said, "yes, king!"

Tang Yin asked, "how much money is in the Treasury now?"

"This minister is not clear. I want to ask Lord Zhang." The Treasury has always been managed by Zhang Zhe, the imperial historian. In this regard, even Shangguan Yuanji, the head of civil servants, has no right to intervene.

Tang Yin youyou said, "the war against Mozambique is another huge expense. Now my biggest worry is that once the war breaks out, the Treasury is difficult to support."

Shangguan Yuanji smiled and said, "Lord Zhang has always been the most straightforward. As long as Lord Zhang hasn't complained, it shows that the money of the State Treasury can cope with the war."

Tang Yin stood up, walked back and forth, and said, "China's central army has already exceeded one million, and this time there are 400000 more Zhenren. Just thinking about the monthly military pay, it's frightening. It's not the consumption of food, grass and military funds. The war against Mozambique must be fast. Over time, I'm very worried that our country will be dragged and boasted by so many troops."

Shangguan Yuanji looked positive and hurriedly said, "what the king said is exactly what the micro minister is worried about. Since the king already knows the interests, the micro minister is relieved."
