Anecdotes of Tianyuan: The Long Night is Young

Chapter 103 Head-to-head confrontation

When Zhao Xiyan's letter arrived in Suzhou, Shen Jiyue took it and sighed.Qin Huaian didn't know what was written in the letter, but in short, it's not a good thing.If it's a good thing, Shen Jiyue doesn't have to sigh and frown.Shen's house used to have a big business, but now it has been in decline and there are only a few small shops left. Master Shen was so angry that he was already seriously ill.But the situation of the Shen residence is much better than the decline of the rich merchants in Suzhou and Hangzhou.Now everyone is short of money and wants to revive, but their pockets are shy.The bustling city of Suzhou was gone, many shops were closed, and the price of rice was even higher.If you don't do other business, you won't do it, and you can recover after some time.Only this rice grain, as long as the price is high, as long as it is out of stock, it will cause panic.

Jiangnan, known as the Great Qi Granary, is now in such a shortage of food.Shi Jiang, the magistrate of Suzhou, was in a hurry. Shi Jiang had already received a letter from King Duan, asking him to wait for the merchants from Suzhou and Hangzhou to go to Beijing to file an imperial complaint.But there was no movement at all in the Shen residence. Seeing that the common people were about to have enough food and clothing, Shi Jiang visited the Shen residence every day.Due to the decline of her family business, Shen Jiyue had nothing to do for a long time, and she and Qin Huaian played with cats and dogs at home every day.Qin Huaian knew that she was anxious, but now there was no better way.If Zhao Xiyan hadn't begged, their family wouldn't know if they would be able to live such a complete life.How many big families were assassinated because of money and food.When Shi Jiang came, he was also in a daze, but he didn't mention the business.But now that Zhao Xiyan's letter has arrived again, if he does not agree at this time, it may be difficult for Prince Duan's residence to protect Shen's residence.Shen Jiyue received the letter and was worried all day.

"Send the moon and let's go to Beijing. Zhao Xiyan must have a reason for asking us to do this."

"You don't understand. It's difficult for us to ride a tiger now. King Duan is now fighting for the heir, do you understand? Since ancient times, the loser will not end well when he is fighting for the heir. Shen's mansion is now in such a state of decay. Sister and brother-in-law still have your life to gamble. If the money is gone, you can make it again, I can’t live without you.”

"Jiyue, don't talk stupid things. You helped Zhao Xiyan back then, and we were destined to be unable to get away. If the crown prince ascended the throne and investigated the matter of food and grass back then, would we still be able to survive? Not only us, but the nine clans of the Shen family , my nine clans of the Qin family can't escape the clutches of the prince. You don't know the prince, but I know him too well. He doesn't even care about his brothers and parents, will he forgive us? We are just the lowest businessmen of scholars, farmers, businessmen, and he will trample to death It's too easy for us. Zhao Xiyan is now giving us a way out, and the Shen family will become an imperial merchant for generations. Think about how the crown prince forced me when Zhao Xiyan disappeared for more than a year? I believe Zhao Xiyan will definitely win!"

"You're stupid! It's okay if you don't believe it! The prince has been the prince for more than 20 years, and his power is deeply entrenched. King Duan has only been a few years? No matter how powerful King Duan is, can he compare with the prince? I know that you have a very personal relationship with King Duan. Okay, but is this the time to be friends? He is the prince, and everything is about the overall situation. If necessary, these friendships can be severed, and they are not necessary. "

"You are wrong! Zhao Xiyan is not such a person, you know? How many times he saved me on the battlefield, without him I would die!"

"Without him, you wouldn't have made it to the border!"

"If I didn't go to the border, I would always be just a dandy who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun but doesn't know the sufferings of the people!"

"I wish you would always be a dude!"

"That's your wishful thinking, not what I want! You have stood in front of me and protected me for a long time. Since I was a child, I will also long to stand in front of you to protect you from the wind and rain. You can't be so selfish and want me to live forever I can't do anything, and I just stay by your side. I don't have your business acumen, and I can't study well and practice martial arts. If he didn't take me to the capital and take me to the border, I would never pick up a knife in my life. Then One day the Mobei people raided, if I hadn't picked up the knife and went out, we would all be dead."

"Qin Huaian!"

"Wake up, just guarding this little thing, others can easily take it away. If we win, Zhao Xiyan will not treat us badly. I am such a person who can't do anything. He can promote me like this and save me many times, how can he ignore us. We will follow Shi Jiang all the way to sue the imperial court, and only a few lives will be left and right, which is better than the death of both Shen and Qin families and nine clans. We have no choice , How long can we protect the Shen and Qin families? Don't forget, Emperor Shaoyuan will not live for a few years."

Qin Huaian hugged Shen Jiyue tightly, the decision of the two of them was related to the lives of the eighteen clans of Shen and Qin's family.They burst into tears, and their hearts were ashamed, so what if the heart hurts?Under the imperial power, merchants and common people are nothing but ants.Look twice when you are needed, and if you are not needed, it is like stepping on ants.The royals can crush these businessmen to pieces with a slight lift of their feet.Shen Jiyue talked with Qin Huaian all night, and finally made up her mind to follow Duan Wang's method.The Shen family is willing to lead the wealthy businessmen from Suzhou and Hangzhou to Beijing to sue the imperial court.Seeing that they agreed, Shi Jiang's heart dropped.Soon, Shen Jiyue followed Shi Jiang to contact all the big merchants in the south of the Yangtze River who were in distress, inciting them to write a joint letter, and went to Beijing to sue the prince for ill-gotten gains, killing merchants, and robbing food and grass.Regardless of previous suspicions, Shen's House even contacted those merchants who had followed the prince's minions to attack Shen's House.The merchants suffered heavy losses, and they didn't even have the bottom line to start a business.What's more, so many people died, how can we swallow this breath if we don't report here.As soon as this situation came out, there was almost a riot in the Jiangnan area.The people learned that food and grass are hard to buy nowadays, and the price is so high that it is the prince's fault, which arouses public resentment.Not only the merchants signed the letter together, but the common people also signed the letter together.

Zhao Xiyan sent secret guards overnight to secretly send Shen Jiyue and his party of merchants to the capital, where they sued the present prince outside the city gate with great fanfare.As soon as he arrived in the capital, Shi Jiang led many merchants in shackles, holding imperial certificates in their hands, and inciting the people along the way.Affected by the south of the Yangtze River, the price of rice in Beijing has also risen.Food is the most important thing for the people. If the people do not have enough to eat, they will attack in groups.The prince received the news immediately and sent people to suppress and arrest this group of lowly businessmen.However, everyone knows that the people in the city are protecting them, and the prince's hidden guards cannot get close to them, and there is no way to rob so many people in broad daylight.This trip brought more than 30 people, and the imperial court ordered officials to take the lead, which made the momentum huge.Shi Jiang led the merchants to the gate of the imperial palace and knelt down and begged Emperor Shaoyuan to receive him.The magistrate took the victim businessman and knelt outside the palace gate to sue the imperial court, which was unprecedented, so it was not shocking.No matter who it is, the Imperial Forest Army must arrest them if they gather a crowd to make trouble outside the palace gate.However, the people's grievances were boiling, and the Imperial Forest Army had to inform the prince, who hated him even more.If these unruly people were arrested, they would lose their tongues. If they were not arrested, they would be allowed to make trouble, which would be detrimental to his reputation.If it got to the main hall, it would be even more embarrassing for him, and it would also reveal his intention to force the palace.The prince hastily grabbed Hubu Shangshu and Jia Yuting over, and they knelt on the ground shivering, not daring to speak.

"Tell me! What's going on! These troublemakers have all run into the capital. Are you dead for such a big commotion? Why didn't you report it? Why didn't you solve them on the way?"

"His Royal Highness, the ministers don't know about it at all. If they had known earlier, they wouldn't have been allowed to enter the capital."

"Is this palace raising you for nothing? Such a big group of people and such a big commotion, you don't know? Now that you have run into the capital, everyone knows about it. If this palace's major event is ruined, your nine clans will , I'm afraid I'll live a long time!"

"The minister's eyeliner didn't see them coming all the way from Jiangnan, so, so..."

"Didn't you mention the matter of Jiangnan's money and food, they must not be able to find out, and they must be safe? Now these unscrupulous people are here to sue me. Are you trying to kill me!"

"Your Highness, now is not the time to be angry. We should quickly think of a countermeasure. If there is such a big disturbance, the Holy Majesty will definitely summon these untouchables to appease the people's grievances."

"You put it nicely. These untouchables brought a joint letter to sue me. They open their mouths so much to sue the current prince. Are you a vegetarian? I want them to come again. Back! It’s just right to come this time, and kill them all at once.”

The crown prince kicked Jia Yuting and Hubu Shangshu several times, and then walked away.Just when the deployment was almost in place, something went wrong, and the prince could resist the impulse not to kill them, and they all felt lucky.The two wiped off their sweat, still trembling all over.Emperor Shaoyuan got the notification and didn't meet these merchants directly, but told them to continue kneeling.No matter what the prince is, suing the current prince in public is a challenge to the royal authority.The crown prince is not virtuous, just slaps the emperor in the face, how could he not be angry.Emperor Shaoyuan calmed down and thought, this may be made by the old eleven.But he was really unhappy, and the city was full of disturbances. How could those lowly scumbags like ants deserve to sue the prince!No matter how bad the crown prince is, the emperor will punish him. These unscrupulous people dare to think about committing crimes.Emperor Shaoyuan made people stare at them kneeling outside the palace gate until they were summoned.Shen Jiyue just knelt like this all the time, not allowed to rest without eating or drinking.No one could understand Emperor Shaoyuan's mind, the crown prince had already thought up his speech, and insisted that it was a fraudulent accusation.Of course, Duan Wangdang would not miss such an excellent opportunity to bring down the prince, Su Xiang put Wanminshu in his arms.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Xiyan arrived early on a rare occasion. As soon as he entered the side hall, he saw the prince's face full of clouds.Of course Zhao Xiyan knew why the crown prince was so clouded, he pretended not to see him, and sat in his old position, waiting for the noble father-in-law to call him up.The crown prince stared at Zhao Xiyan, the hatred in his eyes seemed to tear him apart.There was no disturbance in Zhao Xiyan's heart at all. What the prince didn't know was that the princess had already given him a green hat at that time.A Xiao, who was sent by Zhao Xiyan, has already impressed the crown princess with his talent and gentlemanly demeanor.The two of them have already been in secret, and they have a skin-to-skin relationship.However, the crown prince has neglected the crown princess for a long time, and the crown princess seized the opportunity to spend a good night with A Xiao in the meditation room of Huangjue Temple during the day.A Xiao had already figured out the cause of death of the previous two princesses from the mouth of the crown prince, and even more so, the work and rest of the prince, the master of the Jiang family.But this made Zhao Xiyan even more confused. Jiang Yuanci was already in his thirties this year, but the Crown Princess was only in her early twenties.Zhao Xiyan also learned why the prince was so cold to the princess, and it turned out that he was no good Longyang.He has that kind of relationship with Na Jiang Yuanci, and it has been more than ten years.Zhao Xiyan was not surprised when he heard the news, he finally had a similarity with the crown prince, and even smiled lightly.It turned out that the prince also secretly sent someone to dress him up as a little eunuch and send him to the East Palace because of lovesickness.The prince was drunk at that time, and he didn't care about the princess, and he was doing things in the prince's room.There was too much movement, and the Crown Princess naturally knew about it.

Ah Xiao is really good at deceiving the trust of the princess who grew up in the family in such a short period of time.Climb onto the bed of the concubine who is a self-proclaimed aloof, and serve her every day until the prince is almost forgotten.Zhao Xiyan occasionally felt that the two of them went too far, tossing and tossing like this every day, it really was a dirty meditation room.The Crown Princess just had a crush on A Xiao. A Xiao was only eighteen years old, and she was already twenty-five. Such a young boy had long been fascinated by him.But the aristocratic family's chastity teachings are still in my ears, and I won't just give in like this, I always want to refuse to pay back.Zhao Xiyan then ordered to send some aphrodisiac incense that the crown prince had ordered for him back then. It was normal to burn incense in the meditation room, but who knew that, the crown prince rushed forward by herself.The princess is so good-looking, no one can resist it.Just one wrong step and one wrong step, and they are all wrong anyway, so make one mistake to the end.Zhao Xiyan returned the hat to the crown prince, feeling extremely happy.Occasionally, he would think of some worse ideas. If the prince's male favorite, Jiang Yuanci, was hanging out with the princess and let the prince catch him, the scene would be even more ridiculous.
