Chapter 486(1/2)

"Will the emperor get better?"

"I have no idea!"

Xiao Yi shook his head.

He continued: "Since he ascended the throne, the emperor has suffered severe damage and stimulation. With his personality, he can hold on until now, and to be honest, it is indeed impressive. However, no one can tell whether he can continue to hold on next."

Yan Yunge opened the car window and had some breathability.

She asked casually: "Is there really a saying of fate? Could it be that the emperor is really a lonely star?"

"You believe that rumor, too?"

Yan Yunge laughed at himself, "I just feel that the emperor's luck is too bad. If you say that he is not capable enough, he will not be so unlucky, everything will not go well, and everything will not go well. If you think about it carefully, most of the problems and the responsibility is not on him, but it happened.

No wonder some people think randomly, so sometimes I can’t help but be influenced by rumors and can’t help but guess if the person sitting on the dragon throne changes, will the situation be different?”

"Even if you think so, the emperor is in danger!"

Xiao Yi's expression became solemn.

Yan Yunge asked him, "Do you think the emperor is in danger?"

Xiao Yi lowered his head and hesitated: "Empress Dowager Tao asked the monk to pray for blessings, but I'm afraid it won't do much."

Yan Yunge frowned slightly, "If the emperor had three or two shorts, what would happen next? Directly enthrone the eldest prince to inherit the throne?"

"I don't know! The emperor may be able to hold on." Xiao Yi hesitated.

...

The convoy continued to move south and finally reached the turning point of fate.

A three-way road.

Keep walking on the right road, and I believe I will soon be able to catch up with the emperor and officials.

Walking on the strange road to the left and going east is a different situation and a different destiny.

The future in Yan Yunge's planned is at the end of the road on his left.

The place she was going to is Pingyang County.

A place where the land is fertile and the place is not big, but because of frequent floods, natural and man-made disasters are caused all year round, and the people are poor.

It is precisely because of natural disasters and man-made disasters that Pingyang County began to riots several years ago.

When the quarrel was the most serious, officials were killed, families fled, and the people were entangled by rebels.

Pingyang County has become a land of abandonment.

It is precisely because of the rebels that the entire county has caused a sharp decline in assets.

Land depreciation, houses were destroyed, and the government had no officials all year round...

So, a family took the opportunity to purchase land in Pingyang County.

This family is the Ling family in Hongnong County.

At the beginning, before leaving Beijing, Ling Changzhi asked Yan Yunge for a map, and she offered two conditions.

The first condition is to require fifty blank documents stamped with official seals.

The second condition is a land deed.

It is the land deed of Pingyang County.

In the entire Pingyang County, 90% of the land in the five counties under it, fell into the hands of the Ling family.

Nowadays, 90% of the land is in the hands of Yan Yunge.

Yan Yunge is the largest landlord in Pingyang County.

Pingyang County will also become the most solid foundation of her huge career.

...

Xiao Yi and Princess Zhuyang Xiao went to the court one after another to ask for an appointment document and an imperial edict.

Xiao Yi asked the court to appoint him as the governor of Pingyang County.

As the saying goes, if the name is not correct, the words are not smooth; if the name is not correct, the words are not smooth.

Yan Yunge needs to manage Pingyang County legitimately in case someone picks peaches halfway through.

The land, population and military strength of Pingyang County are all in the hands of Yan Yunge.

Only the government and government power are not in her hands.

This is the deadliest point.

Don't wait for her to manage Pingyang County well, and suddenly a county magistrate will pick peaches. She will be angry to death.

Therefore, the position of the county magistrate of Pingyang County must be firmly held in his hands.

Who is more suitable to serve as the governor of Pingyang County than Xiao Yi?

No!

No one is more suitable than Xiao Yi.

...

The lord of Zhuyang County, Xiao, wanted to ask for an imperial edict.

She hopes that the court can change her fiefdom from Zhuyang to Pingyang.

And he made it clear that Yan Yunge would inherit her title.

In fact, when the late emperor was alive, she had already handed over the fief to the court.

The title of princess was only status and title. All the rest were gone and they were handed over to the court.

But, one time and another.

The country was broken and the mountains and rivers were broken, and even the emperor had to flee.

The imperial court's control over the local area was greatly reduced.

The court needs proper people to guard all places to ensure that taxes can be collected smoothly.

Princess Zhuyang promised in the memorial that if the court agreed to her request, she would be willing to pay taxes to the court as in previous years.

This was a temptation for the court.

Because of the treason in Pingyang County and frequent floods, it has been idle for several years, without officials or taxes.

Over the years, the imperial court's income in Pingyang County was zero.

No official is willing to come here to be an official.

Not only is it poor, but the population is still small, and it is also a rebel.

After the rioters and bandits, they became a scattered area.

As early as when the rebels were at their worst, the local wealthy families were either killed or fled.

Nowadays, someone is willing to take over Pingyang County, and he doesn't want a penny from the court, and is willing to pay taxes according to the convention. It is a cost-effective transaction no matter how you look at it.

If it were before, when the emperor and officials were still in the capital, the ministers of the court would have thrown away such memorials directly, and they would not be willing to take a look at them.

I also want a fiefdom and an official position, so I dreamed.

Even if it is a land of heaven, it is also the land of the court. If it is not given or given, no request will be agreed.

However, one time and another, the current court is obviously not as tough and stubborn as before.

When Xiao Yi and Princess Zhuyang were sent to the mobile court, the court officials were obviously divided into two factions.

Many people are willing to sell Xiao Yi for a favor and are willing to give Princess Zhuyang a sweet spot.

Just think it is to add a tax to the court.

After all, someone took over the place of Pingyang County, and it was nominally the territory of the court.

However, some court officials insisted on a tough and stubborn attitude, believing that the land of the court could not be given to others at will.

Xiao Yi wanted an official position, so he gave him an official position.

In the future, others will come to ask for an official position, will they give it to you?

This head cannot be opened.

What's even more excessive is that Princess Zhuyang actually wanted to change her fiefdom.

On the surface, they changed their fiefdoms, but in fact they wanted to break the rules of the former emperor's acceptance of the fiefdoms of the royal family.

This requirement is too bad and you must not agree.

What's even more excessive is that he actually let his daughter inherit the title of princess. What a joke.

There was no such precedent in the court.

I have never heard of any princess' daughter inherited the title of princess.
To be continued...
