Section 71: The Way Out
"Another emperor? Well, this is true. Look at the current appearance of the Empire. His Majesty the Emperor ordered not to leave the capital. Even Jinzhong is in chaos now. The Administration, the General Administration of Military Affairs and the General Administration of the Interior are quarreling every day. The Central Committee of the Imperial Empire cannot control the local situation at all. The General Administration said that the General Administration of the Military Affairs and the General Administration of the Interior was not strong, and bandits were in trouble. The General Administration of the Military Affairs Department said that the Administration of the Administration of the People's Republic of China was in chaos, causing people to stir up trouble everywhere. As for public security issues, it is the power and responsibility of the internal affairs department. The General Administration of the Interior said that the Administration of the Administration of the People's Republic of China was ineffective in suppressing the situation. The General Administration of the Interior said that the Administration of the Administration of the People's Republic of China was in chaos, which led to the public's inflicts on public security issues.
It is said that the local security agencies are on the verge of paralysis and cannot undertake heavy security affairs at all. It is best for the army to take over the security and implement military control. Humph, now we can't even manage a small Jinzhong. I think the empire is terminally ill. No wonder Li Wufeng is so arrogant. In this way, what can the empire use to restrict Li Wufeng?" Shaking his head, the tall young woman was wearing a rust red cloud robe dress, her peaks were angrily bulging, her waist was round buttocks, her slender fingers were like a onion, but her words were as sharp as a knife, and she showed no mercy at all.
"My elder sister is merciless. His Majesty the Emperor is still in power, and my father has been hesitating about it. Isn't your counting add to him? Besides, this is not something that the Emperor can solve. How can the people be calm without food? Li Wufeng sent some food to the imperial capital, but firstly, this batch of food supplies more than 5 million people in the imperial capital. Secondly, if the warehouse is opened in Jinzhong, I am afraid that the refugees from Cangzhou/Heishan/Longquan, which are already very difficult, will flock to him again. At that time, how will the empire deal with it? The food in Western Xinjiang has already made the empire's financial resources empty and complain. "The young woman Huaxin, who looked a little older, did not agree with the tall young woman's opinion.
"Hmph, after all, it's all caused by the food problem. Li Wufeng is the real winner. A big adventure at the beginning of the year made him take advantage. Not only did he earn a lot of money from the empire, but he also made the people from all over the country feel grateful to him. It's really a gain of fame and fortune. Everyone was caught off guard by this sudden drought. Only Li Wufeng has lost his luck. Second sister, do you think Li Wufeng is really the true emperor?" Although the young woman Hongluo is naturally Shi Ya, the eldest daughter of the Shi family, you are the son of Shi.
Yin, although she seemed careless in her words, she was extremely smart in essence, especially at critical moments of political sensibility. Even her father Shi Yunyao had to ask for her opinions on many important issues. Unfortunately, it was a big mistake to marry into Situ Mingzhi's family. Situ Mingzhi's mistake caused his clan to decline rapidly in the imperial capital, causing Shi Yayin's position and weight to fall a lot in the upper class of the empire. In the words of his father Shi Yunyao, if Shi Yayin could marry into the royal family, he would definitely become a qualified queen.
The decline of the husband's family made Shi Yayin lose a stage that could allow her to show her talents, and then developed to be separated from her already very weak and incompetent husband for a long time. She had lived in her parents' family for a long time and had more opportunities to participate in the affairs of the Tingxuexuan faction. The Shi family, who had been the first choice between Situ Lang and Situ Tai, had already betrayed Situ Tai, who had been trying to recruit the Shi family after Situ Lang won the throne and turned to Situ Lang in full. However, the reversal situation now put the Shi family in a dangerous situation immediately.
Situ Tai's character is well known, and the Shi family should know the consequences of betraying him. Once he is allowed to seize the throne, it is conceivable what kind of solution Ting Xuexuan, which is based on the imperial capital, will end up with. Ting Xuexuan is worried about this, but the general trend cannot be controlled by the martial arts sects like the Shi family. The Shi family, including Shi Yayin and Ting Xuexuan, both knew that as long as the conditions between Situ Lang and Situ Tai reached an agreement, I am afraid that the throne will be changed immediately, and the fate of the Shi family is destined. Shi Yayin shuddered when he thinks of this.
If you want to change the current dangerous situation in which the Shi family is in, the only way is to prevent Situ Tai from ascending the throne, or to find a backer who is strong enough to make Situ Tai fear it. Only these two paths can reverse the crisis of the Shi family. It is not possible for the Shi family to prevent Situ Tai from ascending the throne. The feasible way is to find a reliable backer. Now, Situ Biao and Li Wufeng may be afraid of Situ Tai.
Situ Biao is now in control of the entire Five Lakes, and his strength is expanding very quickly, which has already posed a challenge to Situ Tai's path to ascending the throne. However, Situ Biao's power in the imperial capital is quite weak now, and his effectiveness is welcome to the Shi family, but at this time he joins Situ Biao's command. Once Situ Tai and Situ Biao turn against the throne, it is very likely that Situ Tai, who entered the imperial capital first, will immediately uproot the Ting Xuexuan's power, and the Shi family will also suffer a catastrophe.
Disaster. But now the Shi family is going to plan ahead and evacuate the imperial capital first. Not to mention that the sects will not agree, even Shi Yayin felt that it would be a pity that Tingxuexuan's century-old foundation in the imperial capital would be destroyed like this. After leaving the imperial capital, Tingxuexuan lost the foundation for his survival. How valuable is such an ordinary sect in the martial arts world? This is also what Shi Yayin's three sisters and his father Shi Yunyao have been hesitating.
Although Shi Yayin's words lowered his voice, they still surprised her sister Shi Yafu, who was standing beside her. Fortunately, the two girls deliberately retreated to the corner of no one while talking. Although many male guests kept looking at the place, they saw the two sisters talking in secret, and no one came to disturb them.
"Sister, you can't say this nonsense. Although the dispute over the throne has gradually surfaced, it was carried out among the Situ family's own family. This is a tacit matter inside and outside the imperial capital. Although Li Wufeng has some strength, how can he make the people in the empire obey? The Situ family has inherited the throne of the Tanghe Empire for hundreds of years, and his orthodox blood ties have been deeply rooted in the people of the empire. As the saying goes, those who win the hearts of the people will win the world, and even the people will not agree with it. How can you dare to imagine the nineteenth Five? In my opinion, even if Li Wufeng has this heart, he is afraid that he will not have the courage."
Compared to his elder sister, Shi Yafu, married into the Miao family, was a pawn that Shi Yunyao intended to arrange among the upper nobles and industrial and commercial forces of the imperial capital. The Miao family was not only one of the five major families of the empire when it was founded, but also gradually changed its work style to industrial and commercial families from the later stages. However, the aristocratic habits were still much stronger than those emerging industrial and commercial forces in the East China Sea. However, relying on the support of the central government of the empire, the Miao family used the privileges of aristocratic almost occupied all iron ore and copper mines in the north of the empire, except for Guanyou Iron Mine. Not only did it become the imperial leading mining merchant, but it was also one of the most smelting merchants in the empire. The imperial military weapons, armor and weapons were controlled by the Miao family, making the Miao family a well-deserved first family among the five major families of the empire.
However, the power of the Miao family has been greatly weakened since the rise of Taiping Cult. Most of the Miao family's main mines and smelting bases are in Beiyuan, Heshuo and Yanyun areas. Among them, Lulong/Qingheyun Zhong and Hejian are not only the main mines of the Miao family, but also the Miao family's mining and smelting bases. After Taiping Cult succeeded, the assets of the Miao family in these three places were immediately confiscated. After Li Wufeng took over Lulong and Hejian, he also adopted the so-called Taiping Party Asset Nationalization Act to reclaim all the public and private mines and smelting plants in Lulong and Hejian that were once mastered by the Taiping Cult to the Xijiang Great Protectorate. Except for a few mines with low reserves and
In addition to the small-scale smelting farm being handled by the local government, all the Miao family's huge assets in the two places were gone, while the assets of Qinghe Mansion were taken for themselves by the Kaman people. The mines and smelting foundry in Yunzhong Mansion were also looted by the Taiping Cult and the Puer people and were left with only broken walls. At this time, the Miao family was in great dilemma. All the four major bases changed hands or were destroyed. The Miao family, who had lost the mines and smelting foundry bases, had only the Jingjia Workshop in the Imperial Capital City, but there was no source of raw materials and rough blanks. The Jingjia Workshop was only closed. The Miao family, who had lost the privileges and relied on it, seemed to have only faced the ending of sitting in a waste of money.
The Miao family was naturally helpless, but the Miao family who implemented the so-called nationalization bill was hated but had a glimmer of hope, because when Xijiang implemented the so-called nationalization bill, she did not shut the door to death. She only said that if there was definite evidence, small and medium-sized mines were privately owned, they could be resolved through legal litigation channels. Such ambiguous and tail left the Miao family, who was already in desperate situation, saw a glimmer of hope of survival like a drowning person. The Western Xinjiang Legal Affairs Office and the Judicial Court immediately became the key targets of the Miao family.
Due to the rapid decline of the Miao family's strength, Situ Tai, who had always been incompatible with the Miao family, became cold and his relationship with the Miao family. After seeing that he could not extract more economic benefits, Situ Tai gradually shifted his attention from the Miao family, which made the Miao family feel the coldness of the world for the first time. Shi Yafu, who has become a member of the Miao family, could naturally experience the huge changes in this.
