Emperor Tianqing really wanted to say "no" very readily.

If those two bastard princes had the ability to kill each other, not only would the court be able to save a lot of money every year, but they would also be able to take back their fiefdoms.

They are all popular places with abundant people and abundant products, and there are many people who covet them.

The most important thing is that there are two less people to worry about. It's like killing three birds with one stone.

It's a pity that the person he is facing now is his queen, and he cannot be fooled casually.

Emperor Tianqing squeezed Xiao Heng's hand and looked at her with a look as if water was dripping from his eyes: "Since Ah Heng wants to say something, I might as well listen to it."

If it were any other concubine, they would have forgotten how much they weighed if they were looked at by His Majesty the Emperor's watery eyes and listened to his gentle voice.

Xiao Heng just curled his lips symbolically: "There is a small village at the junction of Guangling and Lujiang counties called Mo Village. Have your Majesty ever heard of it?"

Emperor Tianqing felt a little frustrated. It was not easy to please his queen.

He shook his head: "I am far less knowledgeable and knowledgeable than Ah Heng. Could it be that King Guangling and King Lujiang started fighting over a small village?"

Xiao Heng said: "Your Majesty is overly modest. None of my officials and concubines have ever been to Guangling and Lujiang. The situation there is far less familiar to you."

The reason why I know there is such a small village is because Xiaojiu's fiefdom is also nearby."

"Oh?" Emperor Tianqing finally became interested after hearing that this matter could be related to Xiao Bi.

Xiao Bi was granted the title Yiyang, but the fiefdom was not near the county seat of Yiyang County, but adjacent to Lujiang and Guangling counties.

Although Emperor Tianqing had already passed away, he had left the capital only a handful of times. It was impossible for him to have heard of this little-known village.

But I heard Xiao Heng say again: "Because the terrain of Mo Village is steep and the land is barren, no one paid attention to it in the past dynasties, so the population is very sparse.

After the founding of the Wei Dynasty, the areas under the jurisdiction of various counties and counties were re-divided, and Mo Village was omitted and became a complete no-no zone.

It wasn't until mid-September last year that someone discovered ore on the mountain next to Mo Village, and the place became lively."

Emperor Tianqing became more and more interested: "Iron ore or copper ore?"

Xiao Heng said: "Both types of ores are available. According to experienced masters, the reserves are quite large."

Emperor Tianqing sarcastically said: "What do Wei Chuo and Wei Qi want to do? As vassal kings, they don't understand the laws of the Wei Dynasty?"

Xiao Heng pursed his lips and did not answer his words.

The laws of the Wei Dynasty clearly stipulate that private mining of minerals is not allowed.

But in fact, the mineral deposits are basically contained in remote mountains, and it is very difficult for the court to supervise them.

Of course King Guangling and King Lujiang knew the law, but the sky was high and the emperor was far away, so the vassal kings all became local emperors.

Not to mention private mining, how many illegal things are done?

Emperor Tianqing sneered: "The two of them have really big appetites. They can obviously cooperate but they insist on monopolizing it.

Now that things are getting serious, I want to see how they end it."

Xiao Heng said: "Although the two of them are not very talented, they are not so stupid.

According to Uncle Nie, this matter was caused by the collusion between the eldest concubine brother of King Guangling and a concubine brother of King Lujiang, which disrupted their cooperation.

The two sides fought fiercely in Mo Village. King Lujiang had practiced for several days when he was young, but King Guangling had never fought with anyone, so he was beaten by King Lujiang.

After the incident got serious, the two regretted it so much that they found an excuse to fight over women and tried to suppress the truth."

Emperor Tianqing tapped his fingers on the table: "They are indeed not stupid, but they are very proud at heart. After this incident, they will definitely not be willing to continue to cooperate."

Xiao Heng said with a smile: "How can a child of the royal family not be proud? The two of them are unwilling to continue to cooperate, but they are not willing to give up the fat in their mouths.

Although the concubine was not at the scene, with King Lujiang's skill, King Guangling would have suffered some superficial injuries at most.

He was so anxious that he pretended that he was too injured and could not move, and asked the concubine and his brother-in-law to go to Qiaojun to welcome the bride in his stead.

I thought that the Xiao family would put this debt on the head of King Lujiang and help him capture Mo Village.

If the Xiao family is willing to protect him, he can swallow this wealth.

If the Xiao family is unwilling to cover up, he can also donate the mineral deposits to His Majesty, no matter what, he will not suffer any loss.

It’s a pity that he miscalculated the Xiao family’s temperament and underestimated my little aunt, and in the end he lost all his personal wealth!”

Emperor Tianqing chuckled and said: "After all these years, I haven't noticed that Wei Chuo still has such a chance."

Xiao Heng sneered: "There are still many things you haven't seen!"

She then recounted all the scandalous things Wei Chuo had done during his filial piety.

Emperor Tianqing was speechless.

What I just said is absolutely correct, what that guy Wei Chuo did was all bad things!

When the old King Guangling died, he was only fifteen years old.

Even if he is not sad at all about his father's passing, he can still take this opportunity to read some books. Even if he doesn't like reading, he can also learn to take care of household chores.

But this guy

I didn’t learn well at a young age, so I only focused on that kind of thing!

Xiao Heng said calmly: "Now that the matter has come to this, what do you think your Majesty should do with the two princes?"

Emperor Tianqing's eyes as calm as water gradually became troubled: "Don't worry, I will never allow King Yong's old story to happen again."

Upon hearing the word "Eternal King", Xiao Heng's eyes revealed deep sadness, and his body began to tremble slightly.

Emperor Tianqing took her into his arms and choked with sobs: "Ah Heng, I'm sorry."

Xiao Heng took a deep breath and gently rubbed his back: "Fifteen years have passed. Your Majesty, there is no need to blame yourself too much, not to mention that this is not your fault."

Emperor Tianqing said: "According to my opinion, their royal titles should be reduced. But during the Yongwang Rebellion, their fathers both made great contributions.

Especially the old King Guangling, if he had not been seriously injured that time, he would not have died young."

A trace of ridicule flashed in Xiao Heng's eyes, and he said softly: "The two princes did make mistakes, but after all, they did not really break the law. The reduction of titles is indeed too much."

Emperor Tianqing said: "Aren't they concerned about the ore in Mo Village? I simply ordered the two of them to retreat ten miles each and transfer those lands to Xiao Jiu along with Mo Village."

Xiao Heng, who was always calm and calm, almost choked on his saliva.

Your Majesty, is he confused?

It was the two princes who committed the crime, and it was the little aunt who ruined her reputation by regretting her marriage.

What's going on with my own Xiaojiu here?

Why did all the benefits fall on her head?!

Emperor Tianqing smiled and said: "For a girl as gentle as my aunt, the piece of land given to her is of no use.

Xiaojiu is not a picky eater, so let her play with it!"

Then he added: "When my little aunt finds her husband's family again, I will reward her twice as much and I will never treat her badly."

Xiao Heng said: "This is all for later, I still know a little bit about Mrs. Hu.

If the marriage between the two families fails, she will definitely not be able to swallow it. If the Xiao family does anything to offend their mother and son, Your Majesty will have to pay for it with a bowl of water."
