A strange scene appeared. King Lu was afraid that the silly princess in front of him would react, so he quickly added: "I am willing to hand over the original land and properties of Prince Lu's Mansion to the princess. As long as the princess gives me some additional land in Qufu, I can barely survive." Just one day.”
Qianxue shook her head: "King Lu can keep the original land for himself. Anyway, Yanzhou and Qufu are not far apart, so it is easy to manage."
King Lu was surprised when he heard this. It turned out that the princess knew everything in her heart. It's just that the princess doesn't accept gifts from him, and he doesn't feel at ease.
So King Lu looked up and saw the two little princesses looking out the window. King Lu also followed the princess' gaze and saw the Wanshou Mountain and Kunming Lake outside the window. The lotus flowers in the lake created a picturesque scene.
Just when King Lu looked back, he suddenly noticed the window of Qingyun Pavilion. These windows are not made of paper, but are inlaid with whole pieces of blue colored glass. These colored glasses are not ordinary and precious.
King Lu was so blessed that he had everything figured out. When he was outside Ganquan Gate, Wang Xian mentioned that the princesses only love jade, colored glaze, and porcelain.
Knowing the princess's preferences, it would be easy to handle. King Lu quickly smiled and said: "Qingzhou Prefecture Yanshen Town is rich in porcelain and colored glaze. Qingzhou was originally the fiefdom of King Qi, but the previous King of Qi was deposed and no one was in charge of Qingzhou. So some properties were built in Qingzhou. Several large furnaces and factories producing porcelain and colored glaze on Xiye Street in Yanshen Town were all owned by the Lu government.
Now that Qingzhou has an owner, I am willing to return it to Qi Mansion, and I hope the princess will accept it. "
As expected, Qianxue showed a rare smile: "The elders gave it to me, but I dare not refuse it. My great-uncle gave it to me, and my grand-nephew and grand-niece accept it on behalf of your majesty."
When King Lu heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. What kind of thing is this? I was crying and shouting to give away my family property, but in the end I was able to give it away, but I was secretly grateful.
Unexpectedly, Qianxue continued to laugh and said: "Although Qingzhou belongs to the fiefdom of Prince Qi's palace, my niece-in-law does not dare to ask for her uncle's property in vain.
Let's do this. Within three years, half of the land of Duke Yan Sheng's Mansion in Qufu will be allocated to the Lu Mansion, and the Lu Mansion will be allowed to manage it on its own. "
King Lu was shocked when he heard this: "Half of the land of Duke Yansheng's Mansion in Qufu? That belongs to the Kong family, how can it be allocated to the Lu Mansion?"
Qianxue corrected: "My uncle was wrong. Those lands belong to the Zhu family, not the Kong family. Your Majesty said that there is no need for a family that has descended from the world to own so much land.
Ten hectares of thin farmland is already His Majesty's greatest kindness. "
King Lu was speechless repeatedly. The emperor was crazy and wanted to move even Yan Shenggong's family. Looking at this attitude, he also wanted to confiscate the family and destroy the family.
"But Duke Yansheng is the direct descendant of a saint, so your Majesty should be cautious."
Qianxue smiled and said: "Your Majesty said that the people in the Kong family are all miscellaneous, and Nan Kong is the direct lineage. It's just a dove occupying the magpie's nest. Returning to the world to practice surrender is really a sin of your own doing."
Hearing this, King Lu was so frightened that he almost sat on the ground. Isn't this an allusion to the Sun family and Emperor Gongrang? Sun family just confused the direct lineage and occupied the magpie's nest, while Emperor Gongrang also carried out the civil fortress incident , causing the emperor to lose his master and humiliate the country, is he really doing his own evil?
The co-authored emperor also wanted to kill Sun and Emperor Gongrang?
King Lu glanced at Qianxue, and Qianxue responded with an affirmative look.
After checking his eyes, it seemed that he did not understand correctly. King Lu ignored his manners and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.
Qianxue looked at Tang Jie again: "Young Master, Your Majesty has already heard of your petition. Your Majesty really wants to return the title to you, but the emperor has made it clear before that you believe that the title of the Duke of Guo has been separated. It has not been attacked for more than 40 years and should be abolished.
So you have to understand, Your Majesty, that the relationship between the two brothers was so tense because of the throne.
If His Majesty jumps out again and openly opposes Emperor Gongrang’s clear approval, what will the people of the world think?
However, the Duke of Xinguo did not make any mistakes, nor was he demoted, and he had an ironclad certificate in hand, so he should be hereditary.
If it doesn't take more than a few years, let's wait until the limelight passes and we can discuss it again. "
Tang Jie is not stupid either. Wang Xian used the title of Young Master, and the princess also used the title of Young Master. This means that there is a drama, and it depends on how she behaves.
Tang Jie didn't sleep all night yesterday, and suddenly he was so blessed that he suddenly figured it out: throughout the ages, there are three great merits: the first is the merit of creation, the second is the merit of following the dragon, and the third is the merit of persuading progress.
The merit of creation is the credit of the founding nobles and the nobles of Jingnan who then conquered the world.
Conglongzhigong is like his great ancestor Tang He, who followed Emperor Taizu to conquer the world from the very beginning.
My great ancestor had both the merit of founding the country and the merit of following the dragon. As a result, the orthodox emperor disowned him, and Emperor Jingtai was torn between wanting to acknowledge him and not wanting to acknowledge him.
If your ancestors cannot be relied upon, you can only rely on yourself. Now it is too late to achieve the merit of pioneering and following the dragon, and there will definitely be no chance.
But it seems that no one has publicly persuaded him to join. If others don't take this great credit, why don't he be the first to advocate for loyalty?
If you don’t take what God has given you, you will suffer the consequences.
So at dawn, Tang Jie got up from the bed and drafted an affectionate memorial.
Now seeing the Queen Concubine asking a question, Tang Jie quickly held up the memorial, knelt on the ground, and replied loudly: "Your Majesty, I have something important to report to you.
The emperor Gongrang and the empress dowager went against the will of heaven and launched a mutiny with the intention of killing the king. I thought that their crimes would not be forgiven.
The Empress Dowager should be deposed, Emperor Gongrang, Empress Qian, and Empress Zhou should be deposed.
The Empress Dowager committed seven major crimes, plus conspiracy. Therefore, the crown prince she established was illegal and should also be deposed.
The Holy One has his eldest son, so he should be established as the prince to rectify the foundation of the country and calm the hearts of all the people. "
Hearing this, Su Xi took the memorial and read it carefully with Qianxue. Then the two of them looked at each other and started to argue.
Qianxue smiled and said: "The prince has no fault, how can he be deposed for no reason. The eldest son of the Holy Emperor has no merit in the country, how can he accept the destiny without authorization.
This matter is definitely not feasible, but other things that Duke Xin Guo said can be discussed. It is better to submit the memorial of Duke Xin to the court for discussion, and let the civil and military officials and the royal relatives discuss it together. "
When Tang Jie heard this, he quickly thanked him, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: A sage never deceives anyone, and this method of persuading people to advance was surprisingly effective. The title that could not be returned no matter how hard you begged before, as long as you take the initiative to persuade him to enter, the title will be returned immediately.
Tang Jie was distracted when he heard Qianxue continue to say: "The Duke of Cheng, Zhu Yi, took the lead in the rebellion and is dead. If Duke Xin doesn't dislike it, I will give you the Duke Cheng's mansion as Duke Xin." Mansion, how about it?
Even Duke Cheng’s family property will be given to you. "
After hearing this, Tang Jie quickly knelt down to thank him again. As expected, these two little princesses were deeply loved by the emperor. Not only could they decide on the dukedom of the country casually, but they could also give them millions of dollars of property without blinking an eye.
But Tang Jie also understood that although this reward was heavy, it would completely offend Emperor Gongrang's side. From now on, there would be no turning back.
This is also the reason why others did not write a letter asking for the crown prince to be changed.
Everyone was waiting and watching, but Tang Jie took the lead. This is what suffocates the brave to death and starves the timid to death.
At this time, King Lu asked again: "Princess, you just said that the Lu Mansion can manage the properties we received from the Kong family on our own?"
King Lu was afraid that the princesses would not know what it meant to manage their own business, and they would make blind promises now, but then turn their backs and refuse to admit their promises.
Qianxue smiled and said: "That's true. Uncle only needs to pay taxes, and don't treat tenants harshly. As for the land rent, you can just collect it yourself."
King Lu confirmed again: "Isn't half of the Kong family's land holdings tens of thousands of hectares?"
Qianxue smiled and said: "Don't worry, uncle. Since we dare to say it, we will definitely honor it. There is absolutely no reason to entertain uncle for fun."
When King Lu heard this, he felt relieved.
The matter was settled. Although the two princesses were still deserted, they politely sent everyone outside the Ganquan gate. They watched King Lu and others get into the carriage before going back.
However, as soon as Qianxue and Su Xi returned to Lingyu Palace, their appearance changed immediately. They held hands and jumped around to ask for Zhu Qiyu's reward.
If outsiders knew the contrast between the two princesses, they would be shocked.
By the Yuquan Lake, Zhu Qiyu was grilling fish with Lin Xiangyu and Ningxiang, and then he saw his two little concubines jumping back.
Qianxue and Su Xi sat down in Zhu Qiyu's arms and laughed in unison: "I am hungry, who will serve me for dinner?"
"Is it done so quickly?"
Qianxue showed off and said: "The Nu family must be great, King Lu has agreed to move the vassal state to Qufu to fall in love with and kill the worldly cultivators.
Liulichang, Yanshen Town, Qingzhou, which your husband wanted, has also been blackmailed back for you.
The old lawsuits between the Tang family and the Tang family have also been settled, because Tang Jie initiated the change of crown prince, and the Nu family has agreed to return the dukedom of Xinguo to him.
Anyway, we have to give it to him sooner or later. If there is a step, we will just go down the slope and give it back to him immediately, so that he can remember us better. "
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Okay, you did a good job. Come, let me serve the two ladies for dinner."
Su Xi took out a memorial and handed it over: "Husband, when we came back, what we picked up from Feng Pavilion was Chen Xun's letter requesting to be appointed as an official, and proposing to depose the Emperor Gongrang, the Empress Dowager, and the two empresses. You see How should I respond?”
"Even if he knows the situation, it is not in vain that I spared him his life. Let the memorial be submitted to the court for discussion, and the request to become an official will be rejected. Wait until he resigns for the fourth time before approving him.
Give him enough dignity and let him go home and retire.
You guys say, should I depose the emperor now and give way to him? If he is not deposed this time, will there be another chance to depose him in the future? "
