This is the information on Prince Qi’s Mansion collected by the Bad People.
However, the most important thing is not this, but the part of the file about Qi Wang Li Maozhen and the place of ascetic practice.
It can be said that if Li Shouxi really wanted to harm the Qi Wang Mansion, he only needed to send people to get rid of Li Maozhen and expose the identity of the empress, and everything would go smoothly and the Qi Wang's land would be recovered.
After all, the empress is only the empress of Huanyinfang, just like the title of Queen Yin.
Once the people in Prince Qi's Palace know the identity of the empress, they will certainly not be willing to be led by a woman.
"Your Highness, what do you mean?"
“The Prince Qi’s Mansion is still the Prince Qi’s Mansion, but the imperial court will definitely take back the military power.
Otherwise, what is the difference between this and the separatist regimes among the aristocratic families? "
"What about the Song clan?"
There was a gleam of brilliance in the empress's beautiful eyes. Compared with the weak Qi Palace, the Song family was a truly old-fashioned family.
"The Song clan is also like this, but I am not in a position to speak up, so the Qi Palace will take the lead and set an example!"
Li Shouxi believes that Song Que will understand what he is talking about.
Even when the empress heard this, she couldn't help but look thoughtful in her beautiful eyes.
Cross the river and demolish the bridge?
In fact, the empress had anticipated that once Li Shouxi unified the Tang Dynasty, the aristocratic families would no longer exist.
"If Prince Qi's Mansion gives up military power, what can 2.4 gain?"
"Yuzhou's taxes!"
Li Shouxi didn't give anything, but it seemed like he gave something that made the empress's pupils shrink.
Compared with the gains and losses of Qi Wang Mansion, Li Shouxi did not give much to Qi Wang Mansion, but the taxes of a city were definitely a huge sum of money.
After all, Yuzhou City is the hub for entering and exiting Baling, and the core of Qi Wang Mansion.
"Military power is a big taboo, while the taxation of a place is a small matter.
At least the future emperors will not be too afraid of the Qi Wang Mansion. If the military power is in hand, even if this king allows it, the future emperors will not allow anyone to hold military power and threaten the imperial court. "
After hearing this, the empress gradually made a decision.
What he was afraid of was not the future emperor, but Li Shouxi.
On the contrary, Li Shouxi's ability to make money, a mere city tax, is insignificant.
Chapter 372: Peaceful Return
The Qi Palace was granted financial power and the tax of one city; the Song clan retained some military power, about 30,000 or so.
This is Li Shouxi's way of adapting to local conditions!
After all, there are no major enemies around Prince Qi's mansion, so it is convenient to enter and exit.
However, Lingnan was a remote area and needed a strong clan to suppress it, so the Song clan became the key.
Therefore, Li Shouxi gave the empress the tax revenue of a city and the Song clan the power of 30,000 elite soldiers as the final bottom line.
And it is rationed according to the treatment of garrison troops.
Li Shouxi was not worried about Song Que becoming more powerful, and the only gift he would give to him might be the 50,000 sets of armor.
This is another reason why Li Shouxi conquered the Dongming Sect.
With a shelf life of several decades, Li Shouxi can completely suppress the Song clan and prevent them from making any moves.
Moreover, Li Shouxi's navy on the sea had more than 100,000 soldiers, so he was not worried about the 30,000 elite troops of the Song clan.
However, the final decision can only be made after Song Que comes to Beijing.
When the empress heard this, she was very dissatisfied.
Why can't the Qi Wangfu retain military power, but the Song clan can?
"Changan is finally back!"
Princess Taiping returned to Chang'an with a group of royal relatives, along with the large army that was transporting grain and migrating from the three major districts.
Looking at the Chang'an City which had now returned to its original state, Princess Taiping's excitement was self-evident.
Being a stranger in a foreign land!
Even in the princess's mansion in Liaodong, Princess Taiping still felt extremely uncomfortable.
Because of the Liaodong area, Li Shouxi's reputation was even greater than that of the Tang Emperor.
It can be said that she does not have any power at all and is only a princess!
Only in Chang'an was she a princess of the Tang Dynasty.
"You all go back to the palace first and settle down. I and my child will go to Daming Palace to meet my brother first!"
At this time Princess Taiping knew that Li Shouxi was preparing to move to Luoyi.
The city of Chang'an was the prison that imprisoned their clan members, but this was more in line with their wishes.
Li Shouxi's sense of oppression was too strong, and his subordinates were countless capable people and strong men. In contrast, she could call the shots in Chang'an, gather the royal family, and even form another small court.
She was the most favored princess in the old Tang Dynasty, and was loved by everyone.
Even Li Shouxi cared about her very much. As long as she didn't do anything that violated the taboos of power, she believed that Li Shouxi would not care about her.
Walking on Central Avenue, I glanced at the shops that had reopened on both sides of the street.
Under Shen Luoyan's coordination, Chang'an gradually regained its prosperity, and the wealthy families even put forth sufficient resources to collect supplies.
After all, they were severely plundered by Zhu Wen last time.
Especially in terms of public security, although it is not that no one steals on the road, there are few people who break the law.
The soldiers patrol, no matter whose son or daughter you are.
Anyone who breaks the law will be punished according to the law, and the law is merciless.
Gradually, the prosperity of the market not only returned to its original state, but was even better than before.
After all, many aristocratic families’ shops were almost robbed and plundered in the past.
At this time, the fairness and justice brought by Li Shouxi instantly reached the peak of market competitiveness. In particular, most of the shops seized by the wealthy families in Chang'an or by Zhu Wen's men were taken back by Li Shouxi, centralized and reformed, and promoted commercial prosperity.
As for making amends?
Ha ha ha
Li Shouxi did not get along with most of the Chang'an families.
Who made him not a legitimate son? Even if he was more powerful than his master, he still could not twist his thigh - etiquette and law!
Therefore, he was directly humanely destroyed and reborn in destruction.
"Taiping greets the eldest brother, and greets the brother Prince Qi!"
Taiping bowed deeply and her beautiful face broke into a stunning smile.
However, everyone present nodded and smiled without any reaction.
"No need to be polite, Imperial Sister Taiping, please sit down!
"Little brother and sister, please sit down and have dinner together later. Especially sister Taiping, please come back to the palace after dinner, and let King Qi take you there!"
"Thank you, my dear brother!"
The empress looked at Princess Taiping with her eyes flickering, and thought of a possibility.
Perhaps Princess Taiping could marry into the Qi Wang Mansion and become the principal wife of her brother Li Maozhen. In this way, even if Li Shouxi wanted to deal with the Qi Wang Mansion, he would have to consider Princess Taiping, his sister.
During the banquet, the empress raised this question implicitly.
Li Shouxi did not answer, but looked at Princess Taiping.
Although the eldest brother is like a father, there is no family affection between the royal family, and Li Shouxi does not want to be known as someone who sold his sister for marriage.
At least he didn't think he needed to do things that would tarnish his reputation, such as marriage alliance, payment of indemnity, or cession of territory.
Under Li Shouxi's gaze, Princess Taiping chose to politely refuse.
Princess Taiping felt strange when she saw King Qi for the first time.
It is even more impossible to be a princess who stays at home.
The most important thing is that Li Shouxi did not make the decision for him, which made Princess Taiping grateful, but also made her know that Prince Qi was not her first choice.
Otherwise, Li Shouxi would not have remained silent and not even shown any intention of matchmaking.
Although the empress felt sorry, she had also expected Princess Taiping to refuse.
After all, the Princess Taiping she knew was an ambitious person, and the power under her was no less than that of her Huanyinfang, and might even be stronger.
Huanyinfang is a gangster force, similar to Tongwenguan and Youmingjiao.
The Snake Spirit Organization under Princess Taiping is a secret organization rooted in the 317th Department of the Imperial Court.
However, with the fall of the Old Tang Dynasty, the Snake Spirit Organization also suffered serious damage!
What's more, the real intelligence system of the Tang Dynasty - the Bad People, is what the empress really fears.
Snake Spirit may have been doing well before, but things may not be so smooth afterwards.
“By the way, before my father committed suicide, he left behind a Longquan sword that was related to the treasure of the Tang Dynasty.
The treasure is located in the imperial tombs of successive dynasties. Once I move the capital to Luoyi, it will inevitably attract those peeping eyes.
Therefore, I left behind the Jinwu Guards as a protective force, and together with the Snake Spirit Organization under the command of the Imperial Sister Taiping, the Imperial Sister had to work hard before the Longquan Sword was recovered."
"Don't worry, my dear brother. Taiping will definitely live up to your expectations!"
Longquan treasure?
Princess Taiping naturally knew about this, but she didn't expect that Li Shouxi would actually set his sights on this treasure.
At least the Empress and Princess Taiping did not believe that Li Shouxi retrieved the Longquan Sword just to protect the imperial tomb, not to take out the treasure inside.
But Princess Taiping could never have imagined it.
Inside the Longquan treasure, there would be bronze artifacts, magatama and other items left behind by Li Shouxi's previous counterfeiting.
These high-quality imitations, which have been buried for ten years, are absolutely indistinguishable from the real things.
However, Li Shouxi's real purpose was to get Huanyinfang and Sheling to participate in the fight for the Longquan Sword in order to consume their strength.
Chapter 273 Niuhuang Angong Pills
"Your Majesty, this is a gift from His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan to Your Majesty, a longevity elixir!
This is the nine pills made by our Great Tang Imperial Master, General Buliang, using the Shennong Ding as the vessel, the thousand-year-old peaches as the main ingredient, and supplemented with blood magnolia, ten-thousand-year-old ginseng, and thousand-year-old snow ganoderma.
In addition to being tribute to the royal family, this is a gem that His Highness treasures, which can extend his life by sixty years and increase his merits by a hundred years.
Your Highness, I heard that His Majesty is ill. This pill can extend your life by at least ten years!"
fizz
In the spacious and majestic Qin Palace, everyone stared at the pill bottle in the messenger's hand in disbelief.
This is actually the elixir of longevity!
Prolong your life by sixty years and increase your merits by a hundred years!
In particular, it could extend the life of the terminally ill Qin Emperor by ten years. Even Li Si and Zhao Gao could not help but flash a gleam of light in their eyes.
If the Qin Emperor had not died, their little tricks in private would have stopped.
"Extend my life for sixty years? Why can I only extend my life for ten years?"
"Your Majesty, His Highness once said:
Three-drug.
His Majesty the Qin Emperor has been taking elixirs for many years, and his body has long developed a strong drug resistance. Therefore, ten years is the result of His Majesty's first time taking the elixir of longevity.
If one is a master and has never taken any golden elixir, it is not impossible for him to extend his life by a hundred years.
