Astute Princess: Married to be the Empress Novel - Chapter 170

Chapter 170 Purpose Supposes Foresight
He pleaded anxiously, “Your Highness, Even if I beg you, Just step forward and take care of it, The Crown Princess was trying to force Ye Lan to its death, Now all the ministers are raising money, to buy the goods in her hands for the dowry, “Originally, there was nothing wrong with them buying a dowry for their daughter, but now the price of these goods has increased several times as much as usual. It is obvious that they are asking for money. If this continues, after the Imperial Concubine’s Ceremony, our Ye Lan Kingdom will be really poor. At that time, our days will be even more difficult.”

After listening to him, Huyan Mingshuo’s face did not have too much expression. She slowly poured a cup of tea for Lan Zheng and said, “Lord Lan, please calm down. You don’t have to worry so much. Ying Ran’s temper is clear to this palace. She is not happy. She just wants to find someone to be angry with. Once her anger dissipates, she won’t bother Ye Lan anymore. If you endure it any longer, everything will be fine after the Consort Na ceremony.”

As for what Lan Zheng said, The situation in the imperial capital was indeed not optimistic. He had long heard of this. Although the Nalan Jinhong had not returned to the capital of Ye Lan, the intelligence network in his hands had always been there. Therefore, people would report to him every day what happened in the imperial capital. Therefore, he was still in complete control of the situation in the imperial capital.

As a husband and wife for many years, Fu Yingran’s thoughts were roughly 70-80%. This was an imbalance in her heart and she wanted to find an explosive point. As long as he, Huyan Mingshuo, was still at Yelan, Fu Yingran would not kill Yelan completely. In fact, part of the current situation in the Imperial Capital was secretly controlled by him.

Those officials who would snatch goods were either officials who had women entering the palace, or officials who did not have daughters in their families, thinking about the prominent time to curry favor with them. What qualifications did such a person have to continue to stand on the court and receive the salary of the state and enjoy the support of the people? Since Fu Yingran had also taken action, why didn’t he take this opportunity to suppress these people?

Therefore, he arranged for his own people to secretly and fiercely push the situation to the current situation. This way, he could not only please Fu Yingran and calm her down, but also take the opportunity to deal with these opportunists. Why not?

Thinking about the families with women in the palace, That wasn’t trying to flatter him, Father, Only then did he obtain the imperial edict to bestow marriage, and those aristocratic families that did not have a woman entering the palace but were currying favor everywhere were also a bunch of trash that only knew how to say and not do. If these people continued to stay, the Imperial Court would still have to support them in the future. Even if he found a way to dispose of them, he would still waste his manpower to count their family assets.

Now that Fu Yingran did this, he could make them willingly take out all their possessions, saving him a lot of trouble in the future. As for the money. In any case, they were still husband and wife. Huyan Haze was also his only son. He was the same with her as he was with her.

As long as he kept his promise and didn’t touch those women, one day, his wife and son would return to him. At that time, even the things in his hands would belong to him, so what did he care about now? Moreover, not all of the money was in Fu Yingran’s pocket.

Seeing that he was so calm, Lan Zheng’s heart became even more anxious. He took a sip of the tea in front of him and continued, “Your Highness, that’s not what you said. How can Your Highness guarantee that as long as the Consort Na Fei ceremony is over, the Consort Na Fei will not disturb Ye Lan again?”

Let’s not talk about the future, Just say now, Your Highness, do you know, Now, in order to buy the goods of Tianyi Village and make dowry for his daughter, the officials in the imperial capital, big and small, “I’ve already given all the property of my family to the Crown Princess. If this continues, after the Consort Na ceremony, our imperial capital’s economy will be exhausted. At that time, the situation will probably be worse than three years ago. And now, there is no second Crown Prince in Ye Lan willing to go and seek financial support from other countries.”

Huyan Mingshuo saw how worried he was. He couldn’t bear it. After all, this Yelan was his Huyan Clan’s Yelan. He, Huyan Mingshuo, was the ruler of this Yelan Clan. This was something he should have been worried about, but now, he made a subject work so hard. He really couldn’t bear it. Therefore, he planned to tell him the truth so that he wouldn’t wander around like a headless fly.

After Lan Zheng finished speaking, he smiled and said to him, “Has Lord Lan understood? Who are those people who are desperately trying to rob goods? This palace has found out clearly that these people either only know how to flatter, or they only know how to steal, rape, and play tricks. How can they become pillars of the country?”

What face did he have to continue to stand on the royal court and enjoy the salary of the royal court? The silver coins in their hands were either from stealing people’s lipids and ointments, or from corruption and bribery. Why not take advantage of this opportunity to make them spit it out?

A few more Japanese palaces will ascend to the throne and proclaim themselves emperor. In the court of Ye Lan, this palace should know who can use whom and who can’t. This is also a good opportunity to distinguish right from wrong. Why don’t this palace make good use of it? To tell you the truth, some of the people who are driving up prices this time were actually secretly arranged by this palace. The purpose is to identify who can use who can not. Fortunately, only a small number of such people are here. Most of them are just following the trend and asking for self-protection.

Let me tell you the truth. Actually, every single one of the goods sold by Tian Yizhuang is only twice their original price. The rest of the money is in my hands. Lord Lan, just rest assured. This Ye Lan is my Ye Lan, and this capital is also my imperial capital. This palace will not watch it perish without asking.

Moreover, the Crown Princess was not a willful person, She’s got limits to what she can do, After all, I am still in Ye Lan, The so-called one-day husband and wife are a hundred days old. This palace believes that she is not heartless. Let’s talk about this matter. She knows that this palace is secretly manipulating it, but she silently cooperates with this palace. Moreover, she is very principled. Each item is only sold for at most twice the price. She even deliberately sold it to someone arranged by this palace, so that this palace can earn a sum of money from it.

When she left Ye Lan, she had already told me that she would only take away everything that belonged to her. She would not kill Ye Lan completely. She would only let Ye Lan return to his original position.

“Although this palace dotes on her, it is not unreasonable. This palace can allow her to make a fuss, but it will definitely not let her endanger the country. Don’t worry, this palace will not let her do whatever she wants.”

After Huyan Mingshuo finished speaking, he smiled softly. Just as he said, Fu Yingran had indeed said earlier that every item was allowed to be sold only once, and that it was for the highest bidder. However, after knowing that he was secretly manipulating all of this, every item was only sold to his subordinates at twice the original price.

He also took this opportunity to earn a lot of money from it. It was indeed a night of gratitude from a husband and wife. Although she had already left and her son had already been taken away by her, she would still cooperate fully with him in this matter. This was a tacit understanding.

After hearing Huyan Mingshuo’s words, Lan Zheng’s heart was hanging in the air. He finally returned to his original position, Only then did he stand up and respectfully salute Huyan Mingshuo, “This lowly subject is stupid. Please forgive me, Your Highness the Crown Prince. Your Highness the Crown Prince is far-sighted. This lowly subject sighs that you are inferior. With Your Highness the Crown Prince personally in control of the situation, then this lowly subject has nothing to worry about. If there is anything you need of this lowly subject, Your Highness the Crown Prince only instructs me to do my best.”

Huyan Mingshuo was not polite to him, Since he was planning to reuse Lan Zheng, Then he’s one of us, Thus, he instructed him as a matter of course, “We really need Lord Lan’s full assistance in this matter. After all, this palace has a special status, and now is a special time. There are many times when this palace is inconvenient for us to appear. In the past, with Prince Bingjian here, he was the one who took care of this palace. But now that he has not returned to the court, this palace feels extremely inconvenient when it comes to handling matters.”

Therefore, before the side-by-side king returns to the court, Lord Lao Lan should temporarily help this palace gather intelligence, and then implement all the arrangements of this palace. This way, this palace will be able to continue not to interfere in the affairs of the world, so that I can secretly control the situation. This palace intends to take advantage of this matter to clean up this Yelan Imperial Palace as well.

Now that even the other vassal states have cleared up the potential threat, We, Yelan, have never cleaned it up in our own country, It used to be my father who ruled, This palace is not easy to interfere. After all, all the people in the court were promoted by father Emperor. If this palace dares to clean up, it is inevitable that there will be suspicions of eliminating dissidents. However, this palace is about to ascend the throne. In the future, this palace must have the final say in this court. This palace will never allow the night lan under this palace’s control to be so desolate and chaotic.

Also, you should immediately start making arrangements to advance this palace’s ascension ceremony by a few days. Don’t reveal this matter to him, not even Father Emperor. If anyone asks, you can only say that this palace ordered you to do so.

Also, the process after ascending to the throne should be changed. Everything is according to the ancestral system. After ascending to the throne is the Empress Ceremony. Although the Crown Princess is not at Yelan, she is still the first wife of the main palace. She has followed this palace to conquer the west for many years. Her position as Empress is justified.

This grand ceremony must be simple. Don’t pay any attention to Father Emperor’s intentions. If he asks, you just need to tell him that the treasury is empty and there is no money. If he forces you, ask him for money.

In addition, the Consort Conferred Ceremony would be postponed until three days after the ascension ceremony, Imperial Father is confused. This palace is not confused. Historically, only the Grand Ceremony of Sealing Empress can be held on the same day as the Grand Ceremony of Emperor’s ascension. The highest number of women who enter the palace is only a noble concubine. No matter how expensive she is, she is still an imperial concubine. How can she act so openly? Isn’t this going to make the other vassal states laugh out loud?

Prepare yourself, At the Consort Sealing Ceremony, This palace will not make an appearance, If nothing unexpected happens, At the time of the Consort Conferred, Ben Gong has already left Ye Lan for Tianshui Country, “So you must take precautions beforehand. You absolutely must not let those people and women get into chaos. At that time, I will send you a guard to help you maintain order. After the ceremony, we will arrange for everyone to go to the West Palace according to the agreement. After that, we will explain the ban of this palace. Anyone who takes half a step into the East Palace privately will be annihilated.”

Lan Zheng heard this, She was secretly shocked. He had no choice but to admire her in his heart. His Highness the Crown Prince was indeed not an ordinary person, He truly deserved the title of Hell Asura, Smart, wise, and decisive. This was the decision that a king of a country should make. The old emperor had been too indecisive these past few years. That was why the two generations of Nanjiang Princesses had turned a good Ye Lan upside down. If the emperor was half as smart and decisive as His Highness the Crown Prince, then it wouldn’t cause a mess to the originally good situation.

He had wasted all these years of his Highness the Crown Prince’s war, It took a lot of effort to unify the world, In the end, he was actually ruined by his father’s Emperor’s Consort Conferred Ceremony. Not only did he waste His Highness the Crown Prince’s efforts, he also caused Yelan to be in deep trouble. And now, he actually ordered the Consort Sealing Ceremony to be held as usual. In fact, only Mu Lian was a noble consort in this so-called Consort Sealing Ceremony. The other women were just madams, so they were simply unable to get on the stage and were qualified to hold the Consort Sealing Ceremony?

But in order not to offend the other ministers, He actually agreed to let all the women enter the palace attend the Consort Sealing Ceremony together. This was something that had never happened in all dynasties. Lan Zheng also had some complaints about this Consort Sealing Ceremony. However, He Huang’s orders could not be disobeyed. He had no choice but to obey the emperor’s orders. Even if he used all the money in the treasury, he had to manage this ancestral Consort Sealing Ceremony well.
