Chapter 516 Power comes from fist power
Gao Li thought there would be a big war because the purpose of the Tsinghua Empress was already very obvious and without any concealment. She wanted to regain the power of the empress, and the process of her seizing power would inevitably be accompanied by the weakening of all princes' power. The previous princes were equivalent to emperors on their own territory, and they would do whatever they wanted. Now, once they returned to serve only one master, they would have to pay taxes, and most importantly, they would have to hand over the military power in their hands.
No matter which world or whoever, only force means truth. Just as these princes are so obedient, they are essentially just because they fear Gao Li.
To be honest, Gao Li didn't believe that they would be so obedient. He probably thought some people here were really obedient, but some people must have other plans in their hearts.
The next morning, in the dilapidated palace, Gao Li met members of the royal family. Including Tsinghua herself, there were 31 people in total. Strangely, she did not see her parents, nor did she have direct royal relatives like uncles and aunts. These so-called royal families were very remote.
After asking, I found out that Tsinghua's parents seemed to die of illness. Her immediate family took the lead in becoming princes and divided the territory, while the other princes were military generals and ministers.
"By the way, what's the surname of Her Majesty the Queen?" Gao Li really didn't know, after all, Tsinghua is just a name, not a surname.
"Ruan." Tsinghua said, looking at Ruan Weiwu. Ruan Weiwu looked embarrassed. Ruan Weiwu was a serious royal family member. His father took the lead in dividing a piece of border land, which is now Yong'an.
"Are you Her Majesty's uncle?" Gao Li asked.
"Yes..." said Ruan Weiwu.
"That's right. Uncle assisted Her Majesty the Queen to regain power and assisted Her Majesty in governing the country. Watching Her Majesty grow up, it eventually became a good story and was circulated in history books." Gao Li said with a smile.
"It's just the first half of this historical book, it's not very glorious." Ruan Weiwu smiled awkwardly.
"As the saying goes, a prodigal son will never change his gold. A stained life will not prevent you from becoming a good person now." Gao Li said.
Good man?
Ruan Weiwu smiled and said, "Yes, I've been taught."
In fact, everyone knows that this is just some scenes. How to define good and bad people is actually just a mouth.
In the past few months, these royal members have been obeyed by Chu Miaoyin and are clearly aware that Tsinghua, which was bullied back then, will be back now. According to Chu Miaoyin, because Tsinghua is still young and has basically no ability to work, they basically need to rely on them to support them. As the queen, they have to live up to their face. So although they do not respect the queen, they have not suffered much.
It’s a pity that there are not many people who can use them among these people.
"You go to the city to deliver letters to those with great strength, and you say that Your Majesty will hold a banquet in the palace in ten days to entertain all the princes. Let them have money to pay, and some people to give their strength to give their strength." Gao Li said to those people.
"Those people? Who?" The people who had been demoted to Servants were confused.
"All people are fine, those you don't like, those who are rich at home, or those who are powerful enough to die? Do you still need to say it?" Gao Li said.
After all, it was the royal family, and these servants understood something almost immediately.
The little queen, who was once the least popular, was sitting in the center at this time, with a Central Plains man sitting next to her, and the other three princes sitting on the other side.
No one is an idiot, and anyone can see the status of the Central Plains people at a glance. They knew Prince Ruan Weiwu and knew that he was actually an orthodox royal family. At this time, even he followed Gao Li's instructions, and the situation was already very clear at this time!
This Central Plains man must be the legendary King of Yan Nan Gao Li! And at this time he had already controlled the little queen! He might have to gain power in the name of the queen!
And this is exactly what he wants! After all, they are royal families. If the queen rises, no matter how small the benefits they get, as royal families, they will definitely surpass the current situation thousands of times!
"yes!"
These royal servants ran halfway through the whistle.
Then, Gao Li ordered the remaining people: "You go to the door and take them here when they come back."
The remaining people were very strange. We lived in this imperial city all our lives, and we could find the way back with our eyes closed. Why did we need them to pick them up? However, at this time, they had already been very obedient by Chu Miaoyin and did not dare to have any extra complaints, so they went to the city gate honestly.
The people in front of them communicated with each other while running.
"Where are you going?"
"I'll go to the Gu family! That bastard always looks at me whenever he sees me. Today I will go to his house! Where are you?"
"Hehe, I'll go to the Jin family. His family is a huge wealthy family and has businesses all over Yanan. This time, I have to let them bleed well! Who, what about you? Ah, don't ask you, you must go to your ex-girlfriend's house hahaha!"
"Hmph! That snobbish villain, Xiaoru and I are true love. They actually broke up forcibly. Today I will go to take revenge!"
"Go! Go!!"
At this moment, these people had the confidence and motivation to shuttle through the streets and alleys of the imperial city.
However, half an hour later.
These people were piled up at the gate of the palace. The servants who were originally waiting at the gate of the palace immediately understood Gao Li's intention. They quickly attracted a cart and pulled the people back.
"Three fainted, two of their legs broke, five of their arms broke, and almost everyone was injured." One person said carefully.
At this time, those people no longer had the courage to be arrogant and were depressed. They went there with great confidence, but the wealthy servants didn't know what happened in the palace. Seeing that these people were conveying the news inexplicably, their first reaction was to bombard them away. As a result, these royal servants were still immersed in the great joy of "We have the strength", and their tone naturally became heavier, and the result was that.
Gao Li had guessed this long ago.
Gao Li looked at the row of pitiful people, although they were injured, but there was no fatal injury. Those so-called fainting should just feel too embarrassing and they didn't want to look up.
Gao Li said, "Thank you all for your hard work. You have opened up the situation for Her Majesty the Queen with your own body. Her Majesty the Queen will definitely not forget your good things in the future. Now, you will go back to recuperate for the time being, and just leave the rest to us."
As he said that, Gao Li looked at Ruan Weiwu, He Chai, and the three princes Du Miao, and said, "Three, it's time for you to appear."
Nguyen Weiwu said: "Two, let's go."
Of course, none of the three princes came empty-handed. Ruan Weiwu's five hundred elite soldiers have been by their side. Although Du Miao is not as many as Ruan Weiwu, there are still 100 people. He Chai has brought more than a thousand people and is also in the city at this time. The imperial city was very prosperous and there were many buildings. Now there are many empty outsides, which is the best place for the soldiers to camp.
The three princes have a total of more than 1,600 people, which is the army currently in the hands of the Queen.
Gao Li's plan is very clear. The queen needs to establish her authority and let those people see a brand new queen. But at any time, in any world, power cannot come out of thin air, and a battle is needed. And how should this battle begin? It is most appropriate to use the traditional powerful people in the imperial city to start the attack.
Although the imperial city has declined now, the imperial city is an imperial city after all. Many wealthy nobles regard it as their foundation. They work hard outside and hide their wealth here. Because they all know that the queen today is just a decoration. They put their wealth in their homes and then defend them with heavy troops, which is safer than putting it in any money house.
However, what they call heavy troops can only be a joke in front of the real army.
Disobeying the emperor's orders and beating the emperor's messenger is a serious crime. For this reason, Gao Li went to check the Yanan Code.
It was also an imperial system, but Yanan was completely different from the current Central Plains. Although the current Emperor of Wu Kingdom is the first ruler of Wu Kingdom, no matter if he wants to implement any government order, he must discuss with the cabinet composed of ministers before he can pass it. During this period, the Censorate was always watching. As long as the Censorate thought that the emperor was inappropriate, he would propose it in a routine morning court, which would make the emperor unable to come to Taiwan.
Yanan is different. At that time, Yanan's emperor's order was absolute. No matter how absurd this order was, it must be executed below. It is precisely because of this that a lot of dissatisfaction has accumulated. Therefore, after the original emperor fell, the entire Yanan immediately fell apart and became a situation where the princes are separatist.
However, when those princes came to the place and became local emperors, they almost completely inherited the laws promulgated by the emperor. The good news is that there are many places where these laws can be used to make a fuss.
For example, now.
Jin Family.
Jin Rongwu piled up the money he earned in his life in his mansion. For this reason, he specially built an extremely luxurious basement, putting his valuable treasures and all gold and silver below and sorting them out. According to legend, he did not let anyone touch his treasures. After the local warehouse was built, he arranged them all by himself. In order to arrange these treasures, he spent a whole five years squatting in the treasure house every day. When the treasure house was completely arranged, he invited some nobles and gentry to visit. According to the memories of those nobles and gentry, it was not a treasure house, it was clearly a garden made of gold, silver and treasures!
Jin Rongwu has now distributed his business to his sons, who are doing business everywhere in Yanan, and as long as he lies at home and looks at the account book that can make money, he is already satisfied.
Not long ago, there was chaos in front of me. I heard that someone from the palace came here to speak loudly, saying that the little queen asked them to pay?
Interesting kid, is this playing house?
This was Jin Rongwu's first reaction, but just a moment later, his heart suddenly stumbled.
King Gao Li of Yannan has entered the city. Prince Ruan Weiwu has also entered the city, and Du Miao and He Chai have also arrived.
Tsinghua, who never dared to speak, suddenly became tough.
Could it be...
