Chapter two thousand and thirty(1/2)

Logis City.

"Brother, brother, good news, great news!"

Qin Ling strode to his elder brother Zan Siruo's room, shouting to Zan Siruo with an excited expression.

Zan Siruo asked, "What good news?"

Qinling said: "I just got the news that Li Jinzhong, the commander of the Khitan Alliance in the northeast, raised an army to rebel against the Tang Dynasty."

When Zan Xiruo heard this, he couldn't help but suddenly stood up and said happily: "Is this true?"

Qin Ling said: "But it was suppressed not long ago, and it only took two months to fight."

Zan Siruo was stunned, sat down, and said with a puzzled look: "This is good news, but it's only two months, I'm afraid that even the Tang Dynasty's fur has not been hurt. Moreover, it can be seen that the Tang army is still very powerful, so we should not be careless."

Qin Ling smiled and said, "Do you know why the Khitan Alliance Commander rebelled?"

Zan Siruo asked, "Why?"

“Because of the businessman.”

"merchant?"

Qin Ling immediately told Zan Siruo what he knew.

When Zan Siruo heard this, he was even more puzzled: "What does this have to do with us?"

Qin Ling smiled and said, "If the Khitan was suppressed, it has nothing to do with us, but if we want to trace the root cause, it will have a lot to do with our plan."

Zan Siruo blinked and suddenly said excitedly: "What do you mean?"

"Don't you think this is a gift from God to us? No, it should be a gift from Han Yi. With this battle, how can our plan fail?" Qin Ling nodded excitedly and said, "This time I must destroy the Tang Dynasty in one fell swoop. We Tubo not only have to rule the entire plateau, but also enter the Central Plains and become the master of the Central Plains."

...

...

Chang'an Yang Mansion.

"Grandma, be careful."

"Haha! Grandma won't be able to move her legs."

Han Yi and Yang Feixue were supporting Mrs. Yang for a walk in the garden.

Because Yang Feixue has been living in the Yang Mansion recently, Han Yi also expressed his support, so he came to the Yang Mansion from time to time to stay for two days these days.

"Xue'er, go and look at my precious grandson. Just have Han Yi accompany me here." Old Mrs. Yang suddenly said.

Yang Feixue was stunned, then reacted and said, "Han Yi, you have to take good care of grandma."

Han Yi smiled and said, "Don't you worry about this, don't I take care of you too?"

Yang Feixue gave him a smile in her eyes, then turned around and left.

Mrs. Yang smiled and said, "This Xueer is really a married woman. She doesn't even call her husband. She even calls you by your name. She will help you talk to her well another day."

Han Yi smiled and said, "This can better reflect that Feixue and I are young children and childhood sweethearts!"

Mrs. Yang was amused and laughed. After a while, she sighed again: "Old man has done many confused things in his life and said many confused words. He is far less virtuous and capable than Mrs. Fang and others. But there is one thing that Lao man has always been proud of, but he is attracted to you. Do you know, what is Lao Man admired you the most?"

Han Yi said: "I think it's not like my son-in-law."

"Of course not!"

As Mrs. Yang said, she laughed happily, pointed to Han Yi, and continued, "What I admire most is that you value love and friendship. I still remember that in order to owe Feixue a favor, you repeatedly helped our Yang family and even saved our Yang family. After suffering such great grievances, she safely escorted Feixue to Chang'an. At that time, she was both moved and guilty!

This person has a great ability, but secondly, I have seen too many capable and extremely smart people, and ended up in a miserable end. However, some dull people live well. There is a heaven outside of this world, and there are people outside of you. No matter how cunning the fox is, it can only be eaten to fill the stomach when encountering a tiger. However, the nature is difficult to change. A person who values ​​love and righteousness will not be bad, and will never let Xueer suffer any grievance. This is enough."

Han Yi said: "The old lady praised her son-in-law and blushed."

Mrs. Yang said: "I can blush even if I have such a thick skin."

Han Yi laughed.

Mrs. Yang laughed a few times and said, "This person will die. Old Man is already satisfied with his life to this age, and he doesn't dare to ask for too much." Speaking of this, she sighed and said, "Our Man is the only one who can't rest assured of the Yang family! Now the prince's wedding is approaching, and the new crown prince's concubine is the granddaughter of our Yang family. The status of our Yang family has also increased. My sons and nephews are very happy. But Old Man is worried about this!"

Han Yi said: "Why?"

"You don't know?" Old Mrs. Yang glanced at Han Yi.

Han Yi said: "The son-in-law doesn't know if he knows it, because the son-in-law doesn't understand what grandma, what are you referring to?"

Mrs. Yang sighed and said, "After Li Yi's mansion was executed, the empress's power in the court was almost wiped out. Those who stayed in the court at that time were opposed to her. Therefore, it was very difficult for her to win over those ministers again. Only by relying on our relatives could she quickly establish her own power in the court. The Yang family, the Helan family, and the Guo family are all things she can rely on, especially our Yang family. Since the Northern Wei Dynasty, our Yang family has always been a noble family and has marriages with many families, and even the royal family. It can be said that her family has a prominent family background. If she uses our Yang family's relationship, she can quickly establish a powerful force in the court."

When Han Yi heard this, he couldn't help but think to himself that this old lady is not usually visible and she would never have seen the situation in the court so thoroughly. It's really amazing!

After the fall of Li Yifu and his family, coupled with the temporary agreement, it was difficult for Wu Meiniang to build her own power in the court like before. Without relying on him, she could only rely on her relatives to break through this point, use the network of relationships between the Yang family, the Helan family, and the Guo family, and then build her own power.

The temporary agreement was made that I was not allowed to meet the ministers in private, and I could not see them, but you could not allow me to go back to my parents' home, nor to see my relatives. Wu Meiniang's parents' home was the Yang family, the royal family in the previous dynasty, and the family background was prominent. At present, they can be regarded as the first family besides the royal family, because the Yang family is about to become the crown princess, and they are also married to the youngest Shangshuling in the court today.

Almost everyone in the family served as officials in the court and had marriages with the great nobles.

Wu Meiniang would never be willing to be Han Yi's pawn. She was not born like this. She has the imperial genes and she must have started over. Although it is more difficult, she will never give up.

Of course, Han Yi understood this and had thought of it for a long time. Working with Wu Meiniang, a woman with such a strong desire for power, must first think of this. Since he can accept it, it proves that he doesn't care. But he didn't expect that Mrs. Yang would see through this.

Mrs. Yang glanced at Han Yi with a squint eyes, smiled slightly, and continued, "But this is what Lao Shi is most worried about. You should have heard Lao Shi nag before. Although my husband was the prime minister and was even more favored in his later years, he was humble and respectful to the corporals and never got into evil with others. He was afraid of getting involved in these struggles. After his husband passed away, Lao Shi kept reminding me of his sons that he would not allow them to form cliques in the court.

Don’t be greedy for fame and fortune, just do your part. I don’t care how big the officials they are, nor do I care about people saying that my son has no future. Sometimes he can live long after being confused. But now, this situation is no longer something that old man can control. Our queen has a very close ambition, and she has a very close relationship with my Yang family. She can’t even kill him. Old man is really afraid that one day she will bring our Yang family into that irreparable place."

Speaking of this, he looked at Han Yi with a meaningful meaning, patted his hands and said, "Han Yi, I hope that if one day the situation that Lao Shi didn't want to see happened, you can save our Yang family's life."

Han Yi immediately said: "Grandma, you're just talking about it. I can't make Feixue sad. I won't let the Yang family suffer a great disaster, this is something I don't need to consider."

Mrs. Yang nodded and smiled, "With your words, I will feel relieved."

Little do you know that the culprit of everything is not Wu Meiniang, but Han Yi

The prince's wedding was finally held in the cold winter. This is because the prince is not young, and whether it is the emperor or the minister, they all want to complete the matter as soon as possible. In addition, the prince himself does not want to disturb the people's livelihood. If it is arranged in the spring and autumn, he is afraid that it will interfere with the people's livelihood, so he finally chose to get married in winter.

And keep everything simple and don’t waste it. Li Hong and Li Zhi are quite similar to this. They don’t like luxury life very much and think simplicity is a virtue.

This is also the reason why Li Zhi likes Li Hong very much. He is not like Li Shimin, and Li Shimin made Li Chengqian the crown prince, but likes Li Tai.

Therefore, Li Zhi announced a general amnesty on the day of his wedding.

Those who have not committed serious crimes will be pardoned. If there are criminals from parents in the family, even if they are slightly more serious, as long as they are not the kind of person who commits the ten evil sins, they will be pardoned, and they will be given the status of good people, which will reduce the number of slaves in the country again.

However, it is usually the emperor who ascended the throne and pardoned the world. Now it is only the crown prince who gets married and pardoned the world. It shows how much Li Zhi likes Li Hong.

This is actually Li Zhi to show Li Hong's kindness and filial piety.

This did add a lot of points to Li Hong, and the people also liked the prince very much.

Han Yi was also involved in the royal family's festiveness and quickly took a long vacation and ran to the hot spring manor with his three beautiful wives for vacation.

In the kitchen of the hot spring manor, the picture is still the same. Han Yi is busy washing and cutting fruits, while his three beautiful wives are sitting by the side and eating while chatting.

"Husband, how much does this prince spend on his wedding?"

Xiao Wuyi asked with a gossip on his face.

Han Yi asked, "What are you asking about this?"

Xiao Wuyi said: "I don't think it's very grand. It's much smaller than I thought. Now, the civil and military officials in the court are cursing the prince."

Han Yi said: "It's true that it didn't cost much money. This is what the prince asked for. Everything is simple. Your Majesty and the Queen also agree very much."

Xiao Wuyi smiled and said, "The prince really looks like my emperor's uncle."

Han Yi smiled and said, "This is a blessing for the people."

Yuan Mudan nodded and said, "That's true. The people have benefited a lot from the prince's wedding. This amnesty has released many people and provided us businessmen with a lot of manpower."

Xiao Wuyi said, "That's why you businessmen benefit, what does it have to do with the people."

"You can't say that." Han Yi said: "The first thing these people come out is to find a livelihood. They ask for less and work hard, which leads to low costs for merchants. Then the price of goods is cheap, and the people still benefit from it."

"You just know how to help her." Xiao Wuyi snorted.

Yuan Mudan shook her head with a wry smile, and asked Yang Feixue again: "Feixue, how is your fairy tale in white clothes selling?"

Yang Feixue nodded and said, "It's pretty good."

"It's not just good. Now even the Analects of Confucius cannot compare with the fairy tale of white clothes." Xiao Wuyi said excitedly: "This book alone is about to become the largest donor of our Women's College. Now it has more than 5,000 guan, which is not the money earned by a certain profiteer."

As he said that, he glanced at Han Yi.

Han Yi said: "Don't look at me, the profiteer is Sang Mu, and I don't even care."

Although the book was written by Yang Feixue, it was distributed by Fengfeilou's printing factory, so of course they also make money.

Yuan Mudan said in surprise: "So many sold!"

Yang Feixue said shyly: "I don't know either. This book seems to be selling very well."

Han Yi smiled and said, "First of all, of course, you wrote wonderfully, and made great progress. Secondly, there are more rich people nowadays, and more people who recognize words. Moreover, the fairy tale books now have pinyin and can help children learn, so of course there are more people who buy them. In addition, in terms of copyright, Zhaoyi Academy and the gentry Academy have adopted your fairy tale, but they also have to pay for it."

Xiao Wuyi said: "In this way, the money is all in your hands."

Han Yi said: "Don't it all flow into you in the end? But I'm curious if you women's colleges need to spend so much money to build?"

Xiao Wuyi said: "Is there a part that does not exist in your Jinxing? Don't you know?"
