Jiang Xian raised his eyebrows.

Zuo Yiming's voice was lowered a few degrees and said, "The emperor means that the prince is to let the prince keep King Jian, Han Zhong and others in the capital. Now that the empress dowager has gone, the emperor is very sad, afraid that no one will take care of the empress dowager's incense and candle, but it is not convenient for him to stay in the capital for a long time, so he can only ask Prince Jian and the Han family to take care of him." As he said that, he smiled at Jiang Xian.

Zhao Xi clearly disliked King Jian and the Han family's people, and wanted to throw away the person like he was throwing his burden.

Jiang Xian smiled with a smile: "Why should our family's clan power take the blame for the emperor?"

Zuo Yiming smiled and said, "The emperor doesn't understand the worldly ways. However, after discussing with Lord Li, I felt that it would be a very troublesome thing for King Jian and the Han family to stay in the capital. If the prince agrees to keep the person in the capital, the taxes in the north will allow the prince to keep 20%, do you think it's okay?"

Jiang Xian was delighted when he heard this.

Based on her understanding of Li Qian, he must have secretly intercepted part of the taxes in the north, but according to the court's regulations, he had no right to do so. Now he has the opportunity to go from secret to light, which means that Li Qian can intercept more part of it.

It costs too much money to raise soldiers in war.

Li Qian's life has not been very easy in recent years.

If you can get more money, just get more money!

But Zuo Yiming did not tell Li Qian directly, but told her specifically, what was the purpose?

Jiang Xian looked at Zuo Yiming's kind-hearted face, but he said tentatively: "20% of the tax? Is it too little? How can I get 30%? All the taxes in the world go to Jiangnan. There are not many taxes in the north, and even if they are 30%, they will not increase much. Maybe it is not as good as the taxes in Jiaxing, Huzhou and other places for half a year. When Lord Zuo was a Shujishi, he once observed the politics of the Ministry of Revenue, so he should be very clear."

"I think the princess is very reasonable." Zuo Yiming smiled, "so this matter can only be discussed with the princess."

Because she is a female, can she make unreasonable trouble?

Or does Zuo Yiming think she has more influence on Zhao Xi?

Jiang Xian smiled meaningfully and said tactfully: "Thank you, Lord Zuo. Relatives are different. They will try their best to take care of them when they can. Leave the affairs of King Jian and the Han family to me."

Without the suppression of King Jian and the Han family, not only will Zhao Xi jump around and be happier, but even Wang Jidao and Zhao Xiao will probably be proud.

If they no longer restrain their emotions, they will easily have conflicts. If there are conflicts, they will easily cause trouble. If there are too many things, the court will become in chaos. If the court is in chaos, the situation in Jiangnan will also become in chaos. If the situation in Jiangnan is in chaos, it will be beneficial to the situation in the north.

Jiang Xian and Zuo Yiming looked at each other and laughed, then parted ways.

The Empress Dowager directly left King Jian in the capital and said, "The Empress Dowager is gone, and the emperor is going to get married again in a few days. Back then, when the late emperor ascended the throne, the Queen Enbo Mansion not only gave up the title, but also stopped walking in the court from now on. I did that at that time, to set an example for you. You are not only the father of Princess Dongyang, but also the emperor's great-uncle, and you should have a broad mind and demeanor. I think you should stay in the capital. After you leave, I am also very lonely. When Dongyang is fine, I often go to the palace to talk to me. It just so happens that Jianan is also in the capital. We don't have to call Meng Fangling to make up the numbers when we play the Ye Zi card."

King Jian's expression changed slightly.

If it weren't for the white-haired man from Dongyang's princess who was so sad that he lost his innocence, Zhao Xi turned his back on his face and found many excuses that he was unwilling to support Han Tongxin's coffin. There was no one in charge of the Han family, and he suspected Han Tongxin's death. If he had any questions, he would ask Li Qian for help. How could he return to the capital?

Now the Empress Dowager suddenly kept him. If it weren't for Li Qian's intention, just Jiang Xian's intention, but whether it was the former or the latter, someone must have hooked up with them.

This made King Jian very angry.

He said solemnly: "Does the Empress Dowager know why the Empress Dowager was gone?"

The Empress Dowager has heard of it, but compared to Han Tongxin, she cares more about the future of Jiang Xian and Li Qian. For Jiang Xian and Li Qian, she can be deaf and dumb. Moreover, in the Empress Dowager's opinion, she is old and has neither power nor treacherous ministers. The only thing she can use is her identity. But identity is nothing, it is nothing. If others take you seriously, it is nothing. She can be respected now, and a large part of it is because of the face of Li Qian and Jiang Xian. If she is in charge of the matter, the matter will eventually fall on Li Qian and Jiang Xian. She doesn't want to cause trouble for these two children, so it's better not to meddle in other people's business!

"I heard it." The Empress Dowager refused to talk to King Jian in depth and said bluntly, "You think it was Zhao Xiao who harmed Tongxin. You have to come up with evidence. If you weren't Zhao Xiao who harmed Tongxin, wouldn't it make your relatives hurt and the enemy happy? If Zhao Xiao was harmed, you can't come up with evidence, so don't you just watch it? According to me, there is never any right or wrong in this temple. There is only winning or losing. If you lose, you will leave. You can still maintain the family's decency. Why bother causing more trouble for a moment of anger!"

King Jian was furious and did not dare to make too much noise in front of the Empress Dowager. He got up and turned around the room for two or three times. His anger dissipated slightly. He then evened his breath and said in a deep voice: "I still expect Li Qian to help me. According to what you said, if Tongxin is fine? If something happened to your Jiang Xian, can you downplay it like this? We Tongxin and Jiang Xian were also the ones you watched as growing up together. Now she is not clear about it. How can I feel at ease if my grandfather, I, don't find the murderer for her?"

The Empress Dowager was speechless for a while.

King Jian guessed that the Empress Dowager didn't want Li Qian to make things difficult for him, so he said, "I don't want you to come forward in this matter. I just hope you don't stop me. I'll go find Li Qian and ask him to help me check. If he doesn't agree, then say it."

The implication is that the Empress Dowager should not interfere in this matter.

Jiang Xian and Li Qian asked her to help keep King Jian and the Han family in the capital. Since that's the case, she didn't say anything, so it would be nice for the couple to deal with it.

The Empress Dowager sighed and said, "Then you can see what Li Qian means!"

King Jian immediately said goodbye, left the Forbidden City, and headed straight for the Princess's Mansion where Li Qian lived.

Li Qian happened to be at home.

There was news from Jinling that Zhao Xi decided to marry the second lady of the Liu family within 100 days, so the wedding date was set on November 10th.

All the governors and the inspectors had to prepare gifts for Zhao Xi in advance. It is said that the things in the antique shops in Beijing have increased by 10%.

Li Qian was going to give Zhao Xi a pair of jade insect bird ornaments. This was originally given to Jiang Xian by Zhao Yi back then. Jiang Xian liked it very much and took it out from time to time to fiddle with it. Li Qian had long disliked the pair of ornaments, but this ornaments were precious and difficult to give them out at will.

It just so happened that Zhao Xi was married, so I gave it to Zhao Xi.

It also has unusual significance to Zhao Xi.

As for Jiang Xian, he had already found a pair of cloisonné enamel-burned blue glass plum vases. They were placed on the kang table in winter and were very beautiful. He compensated Jiang Xian, and Jiang Xian would definitely like it.
