Chapter 119 Prospects for the Turkic Future
The emperor made great efforts to make up his mind, not only the Turkic mission, but also the hearts of Zhao Yanshen and other court officials fell back into their stomachs.
Finally, the emperor did not do anything irrational because of his love for the princess. They were extremely worried that the emperor would not listen to the advice and that the Turkic population was actually accused of being accused of being accused of the Turkic people.
Originally, no matter how much Princess Baoqing is favored, she is still a minister. As a royal family, she should shoulder the responsibilities of the royal family and protect the people.
Now the State Dynasty will have a series of measures, with dozens of large and small prefectures, including Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Youzhou, Yingzhou, Pingzhou, etc., reclaiming wasteland and dividing land. At this time, they were fighting with the pseudo-Zhou, and if the Turks were forced to the opposite side, then all these arrangements would be vain.
At the least, all efforts made before are vain, and at the worst, it will cause the prestige of the court to be greatly damaged and the country will be in turmoil. Nothing will happen at this time!
Nowadays, the court is discussing how to make the marriage ceremony beautiful and beautiful. The Ministry of Revenue, Taichang Temple and the cabinet have joined forces to draft more than a dozen drafts. Without exception, they are discussing how to make this scene live in a glorious and decent manner without spending much money.
So in the morning court these days, Wang Hong, the minister of Taichang Temple, and two ministers of the Ministry of Revenue (the Ministry of Revenue) were quarreling fiercely and debated endlessly. If it weren't for the emperor watching in front, they would have fought in the court.
Taichang Temple chose one of the more than a dozen plans issued by the cabinet and barely passed, and asked the Ministry of Revenue for money, but the Ministry of Revenue was not happy.
The court was using troops to the west, and the north and south were carrying out land reclamation, and there were also arrangements for mutual trading, spending money like flowing water. Even if aristocratic families spontaneously convey money and salary to the court, the court was still struggling.
The Ministry of Revenue was under great pressure. Zheng Yu followed Gao Wei with his account book every day and cried behind him, "Your Majesty, those soldiers still have a large area of land and have no taxes. Why don't you issue an edict to urge him... and drag it? If you drag it, you can really run away the rat!"
The lack of money is so short that he puts his ideas on the nobles. The financial tension can be imagined.
"It's not appropriate. The Ministry of Revenue has collected taxes. Even if the financial situation is still tight, we can't collect them again. Now it's a troublesome situation. It's better to have less than more things..."
Gao Wei was also in a dilemma. He had already imposed a wave of taxes on the nobles. Although most of the output and income were automatically concealed by the nobles, in extraordinary times, Gao Wei was not too forced to do it too much, so he could only pinch his nose and recognize it.
However, when the queen heard that the court was in short supply, she wrote a letter in private and sent it back to her parents' home. So a few days later, the Hulu family pledged 700,000 yuan to the court. The Hulu family had a thousand land and more than ten thousand maids. The Hulu family was originally a tribal chief of the Gaoche clan. They were very rich. It can be said that Gao Wei's father-in-law's family was a real big family.
With the Hulu family taking the lead, other nobles had to express more or less. The nobles participated, and those nobles who had nephews in the court entered the official career would not be willing to be the descendant? So Zheng Yu received more than 1.6 million yuan, which temporarily alleviated the financial crisis.
Even so, Taichang Temple asked him for money, but he was not very happy. After careful calculation of the account book, he reluctantly distributed the money to Taichang Temple, which made Wang Hong call Zheng Yu a stingy old man when he saw people.
Gao Wei read the account book of the Ministry of Revenue and was very careful to calculate every copper plate. However, Taichang Temple has a lot of affairs and it costs more than this. So Gao Wei could only order people to subsidize Taichang Temple from his private warehouse. This was the case.
This year, money is like flowing, and no amount of money can be enough to spend. However, the marriage matters of Taichang Temple must be handled, and it has to be handled in a huge way.
"If you want to deceive others, you have to cheat yourself in..."
Spending this little money is nothing compared to what they have to do.
Seeing that the Qi court was busy with marriage, Ashinakutou's suspicion disappeared without a trace. Finally, he believed that Qi was really sincere in marrying the Turks, and a big stone in his heart fell to the ground.
"It seems that it is necessary for us to give up some of the benefits to the Lord Qi..." Asanakou walked on the thriving streets of Yecheng and said to Qinmizhisili with emotion.
Qinmi Zhisili obviously did not expect that Asanakutou suddenly had this idea, "Why?"
"We have also seen a lot these days. The little emperor of Qi is not ordinary people. Look at the Qi court, it looks a little declining?"
Ashinaku's head was rubbing a jade pendant he had just bought in the palm of his hand behind him, and the colorful silk ribbons slid out from his fingers, swaying.
"...If the Lord Qi is a fool, it doesn't matter if he is a marriage partner... But now it seems that my brother is right. The little emperor of Qi is indeed good, and it's not ordinary..."
A wolf-like cunning flashed in Ashinakutou's eyes, but there was no sense of incongruity with his straightforward and angry rough appearance. Qinmizhili then realized that Ashinakutou was also a smart and deep-minded person, otherwise he would not have been appointed as the next Khan by Muka Khan. If he didn't understand him, he would be deceived by his arrogant and domineering appearance. How many such men are there in the Ashina family?
"I tried to anger him many times that day but failed. Later, he gave me a trick to remove the firewood from the cauldron, which forced me to retreat. Not only did I not take much advantage, I also took a daughter..."
A Shin-ku's face looked unspeakable, and he looked a little hideous, and he snorted, "But nothing, as long as this matter can be accomplished, then it's no big deal to have a daughter. Besides, it's not a bad thing to form an alliance with Qi State..."
"In recent years, Zhou Guo has become more and more disobedient... I have to give them some color..." Ashinakutou's words shocked Qinmi's thoughts and could not keep up with Ashinakutou's thinking.
"Yes, but Zhou State and our Turks are in marriage..." Qinmizhi hesitated for a moment and said carefully.
Asanaku sneered disdainfully and said, "Marriage? So what about marriage? From now on, we Turks and Qi are also in-laws. Isn't it more important to marry Daluobi, a person whom the emperor of Qi is the most beloved girl whom he has given up?"
"What's more, A Song has been married to Zhou State for two years. I thought that with us behind the scenes, Yuwen Yong should be able to deal with Yuwen Hu quickly, but now, Yuwen Hu still controls the government affairs. He doesn't even dare to give up one of his farts. It's useless!"
Mugan Khan's daughter married the Zhou emperor Yuwen Yong in the third year of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Although Mugan Khan knew that this son-in-law actually had no power at all, she married her daughter to him in order to have an alliance with the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
Ashin Kutou originally thought that Yuwen Hu would be afraid of having a niece backing him, and Yuwen Yong could be more tough and compete with Yuwen Hu. Although Yuwen Yong was slightly inferior and had less control over the court than Yuwen Hu, he was still Yuwen Tai's real heir and still had a chance to win.
At that time, my niece will be a legitimate queen and can earn some more benefits for the Turks. If I have a son and a half daughter, I will find a way to become the crown prince... Then the Northern Zhou Dynasty will be more controlled from now on.
But Yuwen Yong's performance disappointed Ashinakutou, and he was timid. Yuwen Hu said whatever he said was. This soft-hearted temperament made Ashinakutou look down on him. Yuwen Yong, a child with yellow mouth, even if he performed extraordinaryly in his early years, what kind of atmosphere can he become under the shadow of Yuwen Hu?
So in this way, it is inevitable that Yuwen Tai's lineage will be squeezed out by Yuwen Hu's lineage... Then, the niece is useless...
In recent years, the Northern Zhou Dynasty has been continuously building military towns in the northern border, which has made the Turks feel an unwelcome atmosphere
It was not his sudden idea to marry his daughter to the Emperor of Qi. He had already planned to force the people of Qi to accept the Turkic conditions, and then he would take the opportunity to marry his smartest and most beautiful daughter to the Lord of Qi. His idea was just like marrying his niece to Yuwen Yong. At that time, the Turks were arrogant and had the upper hand, and maybe they could even abdicate the Empress of the Central Palace of Qi to give way to the wise.
Two birds with one stone.
But now his plan made a small mistake, and the Emperor of Qi did not follow his ideas at all, making him marrying his daughter and asking for him... This... really made him very depressed...
However, compared with the two, the negotiations between the two are more important, and he can only keep them in his heart if he is angry. Anyway, as long as there is nothing wrong with this time, my brother's position will be his own sooner or later. When he controls the Turks, it doesn't matter if his daughter is not the queen.
With the Lord of Qi as his son-in-law, the Turks had a relationship with Qi and Zhou. Even if one day Zhou State and the Turks rebelled against each other, they could still let Qi and Zhou fight each other, and the Turks would always be the one who sat firmly on Diaoyutai.
"I heard that some of our subordinates deliberately cause trouble in Yecheng these days?"
Ashinakutou looked over coldly, which made Qinmi Zhisi feel cold. He pondered for a while and said, "It seems that there is something happening..., the following grooms..." He was interrupted by Ashinakutou before he finished speaking.
"—I don't want to hear this, it means that it's true, right?"
“…Yes, yes…”
"That's good. Send them to the officials in Yecheng and ask what to do..." Asanaku said with a smile.
Qinmi Zhili was stunned, "…ah?"
"We naturally have to give some face to the Emperor of Qi to put forward this formation, so that he can feel the Turks attach importance to the alliance with the Great Qi. The Central Plains said, this is... this is... what to submit?
Qinmi Zhili added a sentence, "Repay for your kindness..."
"Yes, repay the favor." Asinaku waved his head and was full of enthusiasm. "At that time, when Qi and the Turks become in-laws, they will be completely open for mutual exchanges, and have common interests, then this alliance will be unbreakable!"
He laughed heroically, while Qin Mizhi's thoughts showed a pleasing and admiring expression, while secretly guessing in his heart, [I'm afraid it may not be?]
