Chapter 87: Conspiracy to seize Zhenyuan after the discussion

Ay! It's just a few daughters-in-law in some places, but I feel that I already have the taste of palace fighting. I wonder what will happen to those people under my command in the future. Will it also be more or less involved in these so-called heir-grabbing incidents? Fortunately, I don't have a son for the time being, so I don't need to rush to think about these issues. The question at hand is how to make one, and none of the four daughters-in-law seems to have moved.

Gongsun Jian, who was finally idle, began his great cause of making people. But this is also a hard job, and within a few days, Gongsun Jian felt that he was about to be exhausted to death. So he had to take refuge in Xie Wu's special operations brigade.

Today's special operations brigade is more powerful and elite than before, and there are very few personnel left behind in the station, and they are basically exercising in the field. Knowing the arrival of Gongsun Jian, Xie Wu specially came back to report on the training situation and progress during this period of time, and specially asked people to give Gongsun Jian a drill. Seeing that these warriors were fierce one by one, Gongsun Jian nodded with satisfaction and encouraged Xie Wu that they must adhere to this style and continue to strengthen their training. Strive to become the ace of the armies in the future.

After staying for three days, Gongsun Jian then went to inspect various other troops, and on the whole he was still very satisfied. In particular, Ding Feng's amphibious combat division is very strong, and I heard that this is because Ding Feng secretly learned a lot of training methods from Xie Wu, and used these soldiers under his command as a special operations brigade to train and train. Such a result was something that Gongsun Jian did not expect in advance, for which he praised Ding Feng. He also instructed the Logistics Department to strengthen the logistical support of the amphibious warfare division to meet the needs of the soldiers for their daily training.

After doing this, Gongsun Jian returned home. But before Gongsun Jian could rest, Hu Tianyi, Shi Fangheng and several cabinet ministers all arrived. Seeing this, Gongsun Jian knew that something must have happened. So he let everyone be taken to the study where he worked.

When Gongsun Jian had just sat down, before he had time to be polite to everyone, Hu Tianyi hurriedly reported: "Lord Wang, those damned people from the noble family are secretly organizing unwilling wealthy families in various places to prepare riots, attack yamen and institutions in various places, and destroy public facilities such as hospitals and schools. It is said that there are also people who have prepared a group of dead soldiers who want to assassinate you, the prince. ”

"Hehe, what a bold man. Haven't we just been waiting for this opportunity? Gongsun Jian smiled contemptuously, he didn't take it seriously at all. After all, these people have long been mastered by Hu Tianyi and his security department.

"Lord Wang, behind this key matter, there is the Zhou Imperial Court secretly supporting these people." Feng Huaidao reminded in a low voice.

"Oh? Do you mean that my old father-in-law, the Emperor Tai, is now colluding with the nobles to attack me? Gongsun Jian asked with a smile. Feng Huaidao nodded and looked at Hu Tianyi. So Hu Tianyi continued: "Lord Wang, according to the investigation of the Security Division, there have been shadow guards of the Yue Emperor secretly infiltrating Linshui County in the past few days. The target of our analysis and estimation may be you, the prince. So my lord, I don't think we should wait any longer. Just go ahead and slaughter all these bastards directly. ”

Gongsun Jian shook his head after thinking for a moment when he heard this, "Don't worry, you have to wait for them to do it." Otherwise, we won't have a good excuse, didn't everyone say that the Seven Prefectures of Central and South China were good? But at that time, we didn't have a chance to take it, and now our opponents have sent this opportunity to us. As long as these nobles make a move, I will just take this opportunity to attack the Seven Prefectures of Central and South China, which is where their foundation lies. ”

Fortunately, these noble sons did not disappoint Gongsun Jian and did not let him wait for a long time. Only ten years later, the county governments in various regions within the territory of Gongsun Jian began to act.

It's a pity that what they don't know is that their plans are all in the hands of the Security Division, and they are surrounded by a large number of soldiers and militias before they can shout the slogans. And then...... And then there was no then.

What happened next was interesting, as Gongsun Jian ordered a public trial of these hostile lunatics who dared to openly start a riot. In each place, a special person erected a high platform in the local grain field or in the open space near the county office. They were interrogated by officials from the local prison and the officers of the Security Division in front of all the local people. The crucial question is, why are you ruining everyone's good days?

This is a question that will kill these people. All the people know very well that every family can live a different and happy life than before, and that is brought to them by His Royal Highness King Zhou. Now these people want to wreak havoc and get them back to their old poor days. How can this be done, fight, these bad guys must be killed.

Fortunately, there were soldiers responsible for maintaining order at the scene, so these noble sons and those rich families who colluded with the local people were not beaten to death on the spot. But even this awaits them with nothing good.

Like a public trial, the next step is to admit guilt and parade through the streets, so that all the people can come to see the faces of these people. So that everyone can raise their awareness, and once they find out that someone is going to do such a bad thing in the future, they must go to the yamen to report and expose it.

These are all propaganda works carried out by Gongsun Jian and Huang Wenyuan, not to mention that the results are unexpectedly good. Invisibly, Gongsun Jian's prestige has risen to a higher level again, and he has been more widely supported and respected.

After all these scenes were performed, Gongsun Jian was not so kind, but raised the butcher's knife. Not only did I cut down these guys, but I also sent all their heads to the capital and sent a letter to the imperial court, and these people tried to sabotage and take the opportunity to sow discord between me and the royal family. In particular, there are testimonies that can prove that people from the seven central and southern prefectures were also involved in this matter. Therefore, I hope that the imperial court can give an explanation, if the imperial court has nothing to say, then my Gongsun Jian will do it himself.

Things got to this point, and the nobles began to panic a little. So many people went to the public house to ask to see Gong Mohan, hoping to say some good things and calm things down. And Gong Mohan said that he was sick, and everyone did not see it. Nai's play, playing with the slippery head has hit the head of my father-in-law's family, and you still expect me to say good things for you, but there is no door.

Gongsun Jian naturally didn't care how the imperial court and those nobles prepared to deal with this matter, his preparations had already been made. The army rushed into the Seven Prefectures of Central and South China like a wolf with an order. But all the nobles who participated in this matter have all the forces in this place been uprooted, and the destruction of the family can be regarded as polite to you. For a time, the land of the seven central and southern provinces was in chaos.

At this time, Qian Tuan, the king of Chu, who had seized the land of the three provinces and occupied the territory of the two provinces of the Southern Han Dynasty, also raised troops to govern, how to say that he is now also the father-in-law of Gongsun Jian, how can his son-in-law not come out to help if he is pitted.

It took almost no effort, and in less than a month, the remaining four of the seven mansions in Central and South China were also occupied by Gongsun Jian. Subsequently, Gongsun Jian showed no signs of stopping, and the four prefectures were merged and renamed Zhongping Province, and the new policy was fully implemented. All the wealthy families who are unwilling to hand over their land are all killed. There's nothing polite to be polite about, so you don't have to spend any more money to redeem it. In short, the scene that happened in Dingnan Province before was staged again. Those who are easy to talk to and who have realized Gongsun Jian's methods will obediently hand over the excess land in their hands, then everything will be easy to do. Stubbornness is a dead end.

The simplest and most effective way is the best way. It is in the fundamental interests of Gongsun Jian to overturn everything and start over. However, he also had to take care of the ideas of some of the children of the family who were officials under him, so he tried not to use drastic measures many times. It's a pity that this time it was the people themselves who handed the knife to Gongsun Jian's hand, so what else is polite?

To say that Gongsun Jian's action this time can be regarded as a complete tear with Xungui's family, and many people's ancestral graves have been dug up by him. Therefore, the two sides no longer have any scruples. Almost all of the court members of the Zhou State were suggesting that the imperial court send troops to severely punish Gongsun Jian. If this son is not suppressed and allowed to continue, then everyone will have no way to survive in the future.

But at this time, the old Yue Emperor Qian Hong didn't say a word. It took several days to suppress the performance of everyone sending troops to attack Gongsun Jian before he said such a thing in the court. It's okay to fight, but now there are no soldiers, and there is no money. If you don't have some money, I'll give it to the eldest prince to see if he's willing to send troops."

Everyone was dumbfounded. Qian Hong was obviously throwing the pot, deliberately looking at Xungui and his foreign appearance. But Qian Hong's words are not unreasonable. The Zhou State has been fighting again and again in recent years, and the treasury has long been empty. It is not easy to maintain the current situation, and there is still extra money and food to fight with Gongsun Jian with the soldiers. But even if it's just that, those nobles really can't swallow this breath.

Thinking about it, many people pointed the finger at the public. Gong Mohan is quite single, although that kid is my grandson, but he is now the king of Zhou, and his title is higher than mine. I can't handle it. However, if everyone is not happy, then simply raise money together, recruit troops and horses to fight him. If you will, my father-in-law will give you a million taels of silver. What's the matter, my father-in-law means it, and I never favor my own family.

Qian Hong, who learned the news, smashed his beloved teapot in the palace.

"The old male dog thinks that my Da Zhou died not fast enough!" After scolding, Qian Hong gasped and hated the old eunuch next to him and said, "Those damned nobles also deserve it." It's okay why are you going to provoke that madman. If there is turmoil today, Da Zhou can finally have the current situation, cultivate for a few years, and then unite the Wu State, it is not without a little hope. But now that I have to fight with Gongsun Jian again, I don't estimate that the Zhou Kingdom will really be over in three years. ”

After listening to Qian Hong's words, the old eunuch frowned and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, is there really no hope for our Great Zhou?" ”

Qian Hong sat down dejectedly when he heard this, and after thinking hard for a long time, he shook his head a little helplessly and said, "Now Qian Tuan's guy is also on the side of Gongsun Jian." After the seven mansions of Central and South China were lost, Gongsun Jian's kid had fifteen mansions in his hands, plus the three mansions of Qian Tuan and the two mansions that occupied the Southern Han Dynasty, adding up to twenty mansions. That's more than a third of my Zhou Kingdom. Especially that kid is not only a good hand at leading troops to fight, but also has a set of governance for people's livelihood. According to the news that the shadow guard came back from, Gongsun Jian's popularity in his territory was very high. And even Mingyue is now quite loved. It is said that Mingyue came forward to set up a women's federation to speak for women and children. ”

"Your Majesty, does the shadow guard have any news that Princess Ning Guo is pregnant?" The old eunuch asked again. And Qian Hong instantly understood what the other party meant. Then he smiled strangely and said, "That kid is good at everything." It's a pity that I married four daughters-in-law, and so far none of them have been pregnant. I'm afraid it's ...... Hehe, I hope that Mingyue will give birth to a boy, and then it's a big deal for me to give the little six Zen positions to that grandson. At least it can ensure that the bloodline of my Qian family will be passed on. ”

"Your Majesty, anything is possible, and we haven't gotten that far. Maybe there will be a turnaround sometime. ”
