  Chapter 775 Langzhou Gamble

Tan Qing clasped his fists and replied: "My city of Langzhou is a thousand-year-old city with countless hidden ancient tombs. The officials know very well that tomb robbers are hateful, but right now, Your Highness's Northern Expedition is the most important thing, and there are no less than tens of thousands of people in Langzhou who make a living by robbing tombs. I also ask the princess to be lenient and only punish the thieves involved in this incident, so as to make a warning to others."

"What Master Chang Shi said just now is true. When the dynasties had no choice but to set up the tomb of the Mojin school lieutenant to steal people to make up for the military salary, but after all, it was when the court was in chaos. Could it be that our court has reached such a critical moment? ?”

  Chu Nanzhi stared at him sharply: "If you indulge this unhealthy trend, and the mausoleums of the former emperors in central Beijing are excavated, what does Master Chang Shi think?"

"This"

  Tan Qing was immediately speechless after being refuted by her words.

   "According to my Dahe law, privately digging someone's grave should be punished with capital punishment. Now that the empire is experiencing storms, if you want to help the government, you should be strict with the law. How can you govern the country with leniency?"

  Looking at Tan Qing with a serious face, Chu Nanzhi pretended to be: "Master Chang Shi protects the gang of tomb robbers in such a way, is it because they have benefited from them, or does your lord also have this experience?"

   "The lower officials have absolutely no selfish intentions."

Tan Qing was so frightened that she quickly knelt down on the ground, and replied earnestly: "Your Highness and Princess Wang, please learn from me. I just hope that Your Highness will complete the Northern Expedition as soon as possible, and I don't want to cause more troubles at this time, and put Langzhou City in a precarious state." middle."

  Chang Yanjue, who is in charge of the Langzhou Mansion these days, has a good understanding of Tan Qing's behavior. He is diligent in government affairs, cares about the people everywhere, loves the people like a child, and handles them with the most lenient attitude even if someone breaks the law.

   I never want to hurt people's lives unless it is absolutely necessary, but I have no selfish intentions.

   It is indeed as he said, tomb robbery has become popular in Langzhou, and there are not a few people who make a living from it. If they are all caught at this juncture, it will inevitably cause panic.

After deliberating for a while, I had to bite the bullet and intercede for him: "Princess, please calm down. Although what Tan Changshi said violates the laws of our dynasty, we should adopt extraordinary measures in extraordinary times, just like the princess treats Yang's one-party matter. , and please Your Highness and Wangfei handle it according to their own circumstances, and only kill one as an example."

   Today's plan is related to military affairs, Chu Nanzhi would rather be misunderstood than speak out to everyone, lest the success be in vain.

Slowly got up and walked towards Tan Qing, helped him up, and said earnestly: "Tan Changshi is kind-hearted and considerate of the people, I admire him very much in my heart, but the law is merciless, even if Chang Lao pleads for mercy, I still have to implore His Highness To maintain the previous decision, we must capture all the tomb robbers in Langzhou City."

  Looking around at the crowd, she suddenly showed a faint smile: "However, I can assure you that I will never kill anyone indiscriminately."

Seeing that everyone was pointing their fingers at Chu Nanzhi, Ji Huaishu was also feeling distressed at this time, so he could only subtly persuade: "Everyone, don't question the princess, the princess always keeps what she says, she won't kill innocent people indiscriminately, and she will naturally keep her safe." The lives of those grave robbers."

  Tan Qing listened to Lao Shangshu's persuasion, and then gave up.

  Chu Nanzhi continued: "As for the purchase of farm cattle in Langzhou City, this palace has its own use."

Glancing at Tan Qing who was still worried, she first asked: "It's really not easy for Tan Changshi and Chang Lao to raise military rations. I would like to ask Mr. Chang Shi, how long do you think His Highness will be able to go north smoothly during this trip? Entering Yizhou, how long will you have to prepare for the military rations?"

  Bringing this matter up, not only Tan Qing, everyone was helpless.

   "Okay, then let Ben Gong do the math for you."

Chu Nanzhi smiled calmly and said in detail: "Rush from Langzhou City to the border of Yizhou. It takes two days to march quickly. When we arrive there, His Highness should send someone to Yizhou to report and discuss with Tang Yi about escorting Tang Ru and Kang. Xiu and others committed the crime of entering the capital, but I guess Tang Yi will definitely not agree to the Langzhou army's entry. It will take three or two days before and after. After that, His Highness will need to prepare the army for ten days and wait for the reinforcements to arrive before they can take it all at once. Yizhou."

  Paused, her eyes became more determined, and she made a vow: "It will take a day to capture Yizhou. After all this, Mr. Chang Shi only needs to prepare half a month's rations for the army."

   "Half moon? Why is the princess so determined?"

   Tan Qing was confused.

   Not to mention that there are 100,000 Dahe elite stationed in Yizhou City, it is impossible to break through the iron wall and iron wall in half a month.

   Isn't this clearly a big talk?

  Tan Qing sighed bitterly and asked quickly: "Besides, now that the states in the south of the Yangtze River have transferred all available troops to Langzhou, where will the reinforcements come from?"

   "I've been in Beijing for a while, so naturally I still have some useful connections. Lord Changshi and you don't need to ask too many questions. At that time, there will be magic soldiers from heaven to help you conquer Yizhou."

  Chu Nanzhi's confident aura caused everyone to be surprised, and they all felt that she was playing tricks.

   "If Master Chang Shi doesn't believe it, how about we make a bet, on May 20, if His Highness fails to lead everyone into Yizhou City, I am willing to kneel down in the street to apologize to Master Chang Shi for what happened today."

  Chu Nanzhi's eyebrows flashed, and a sinister smile filled the corners of her lips.

   "Okay, if I wronged the concubine, I would like to plead guilty to the concubine for today's recklessness."

  Tan Qing thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and replied resolutely: "The official is willing to resign from the post of Langzhou Governor Shi, and from then on he will lead the horse and do the work of a dog and horse for the princess."

  The rest of the people were a little confused when they heard the bet between the two. I really don't know where the princess got the courage. Even the day when the Langzhou army conquered Yizhou was so accurately calculated.

  Old Chang and Old Nie were also completely uncertain, and they all looked at the silent Lin Jinxiao with bitter faces.

  Although Lin Jinxiao still couldn't figure out what the lady was up to, but combined with her past behavior, she felt that she was not exaggerating.

When everyone was skeptical, he immediately strengthened his determination and replied resolutely: "This king believes that the princess has a strategy to defeat the enemy. Elder Chang and Lord Chang Shi only need to act according to the order of the princess." .”

  Seeing that King Pingning had spoken, no one dared to doubt it anymore, they could only quietly wait half a month later to see Princess Pingning's joke.

  After that, everyone had a peaceful feast, and decided not to mention Yizhou's military again.

  After the banquet was over, Lin Jinxiao and Chu Nanzhi led the little treasures back to the backyard to rest. The little ones were worried that their mother would lose the bet, and became unhappy.

  Sambo Lin Ruichong asked anxiously: "Mother, if Dad can't enter Yizhou on May 20, do you really want to kneel down in the street to apologize for that Master Changshi?"

  Chu Nanzhi smiled faintly: "There won't be that day."

  Lin Jinxiao had been thinking hard about how the lady planned to enter Yizhou, combined with the things arranged by Chu Nanzhi, he finally figured it out.

  Looking at her silently, he couldn't help sighing inwardly: "It seems that Tan Changshi is going to ask for trouble."

  Seeing that the little treasures were depressed, he also comforted him: "Don't worry, Dad will definitely take Yizhou before May 20."

   It's just that Tan Qing is always an official who can do practical things for the people, and he believes that the lady will not embarrass this person when the time comes.

  After comforting the little treasures to sleep, the couple returned to the room. Lin Jinxiao didn't bother with anything else, and fell asleep quietly with his arms around her.

   Calculating that there are still a few months before she gives birth, he now only hopes that the disaster can be put down before she gives birth.
