Chapter 819: The Conflict Between the Prime Minister and the Eldest Princess
Lin Daxin was in the room of the eldest princess Murong Qian early in the morning, regardless of Murong Qian's first experience, and after tossing Murong Qian again, he left satisfied, if it weren't for the biochemical officer to report to Lin Daxin, a huge naval fleet was found in the sea near the coastline of Lichun Province, Lin Daxin might not have left Murong Qian's room. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After Lin Daxin left, Liu Ying, the chief of the guard, hurriedly walked into the room of the eldest princess Murong Qian, "Your Royal Highness, eldest princess, you ...... You don't have anything to do, do you? ”
At this time, Murong Qian had already put on her clothes and leaned against the head of the bed, her face was still a little ruddy, but she said very calmly: "There is nothing to do, I just gave myself to that Lin Daxin first." ”
Seeing that the eldest princess Murong Qian was so calm, Liu Ying, the chief of the guard, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, this ...... This Lin Daxin has not yet led the Free Army to pledge allegiance to the royal family of the Great Chu Empire, what if he repents? ”
The eldest princess Murong Qian understood what Liu Ying, the chief of the guard, meant, if Lin Daxin ate clean and didn't admit it, Murong Qian and they had no choice but to suffer a dumb loss.
The eldest princess Murong Qian sighed and said: "Sister Liu, there is one thing, I have never told you, after the Great Chu Empire formed an alliance with the Great Liang Empire and the Great Wu Empire, my uncles and several important ministers of the court have plotted to marry me to Ouyang Hong, the emperor of the Great Liang Empire!" ”
"What! I also want to marry Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to that bad old man! How could Your Majesty agree! Liu Ying, the chief of the guard, shouted in shock.
Murong Qian smiled bitterly and said: "Sister Liu, it's not that you don't know the character of my father, in the face of my uncles and several important ministers of the court, my father is unwilling, and he can't stop them for long, and they also hold high the so-called righteousness, and use me, the eldest princess, in exchange for the Great Liang Empire's great assistance to the Great Chu Empire!" ”
Liu Ying, the chief of the guard, said indignantly: "This group of bastards, if the Great Chu Empire is not supported by Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, maybe...... How could they ******** want to marry Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and they still have to marry Ouyang Hong, that bad old man! ”
Murong Qian sighed and said, "No matter how difficult the situation is, the right thing is still put first by most people!" ”
Liu Ying, the chief of the guard, continued: "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, with your control of the military of the Great Chu Empire, even if you directly refuse the unreasonable demands of several princes and several important ministers of the imperial court, they have nothing to do with you, I believe that Your Majesty will not exert too much pressure on Her Royal Highness the eldest princess for this matter, you ...... Why make this decision and let that Lin Daxin take advantage of the sky? ”
Murong Qian stroked her hair and said, "The Great Chu Empire can't stand the toss of those people, and now that this princess has become Lin Daxin's woman, I believe those people should be honest!" As for that Lin Daxin Lin Dashuai, hum, although he is still sloppy about his loyalty to the royal family of the Great Chu Empire, he has put this princess in charge of the people's livelihood work in the area controlled by the Free Army, that is, this princess will become the highest administrator in the area controlled by the Free Army! Sister Liu, you have to believe in the charm of this princess! ”
When Liu Ying, the chief of the guard, heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's okay, as long as that Lin Daxin falls under the pomegranate skirt of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, then the Freedom Army will definitely be loyal to the royal family of the Great Chu Empire in the end!" ”
Murong Qian stroked her hair with her hand, and a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in her eyes, but then her eyes returned to calm, "Sister Liu, let people prepare breakfast, I'm a little hungry." ”
In a large-scale mansion in the temporary capital of the Great Chu Empire, the three younger brothers of the Great Chu Empire Emperor Murong Zheng, Murong Ming, King of Fu, Murong Qi, King Gui and Murong Yun, King Kang, as well as Zhao Youzheng, the prime minister of the Great Chu Empire, were discussing things together.
King Fu Murong Ming asked Prime Minister Zhao Youzheng with a gloomy face, "Hasn't Your Majesty agreed to marry the eldest princess to Ouyang Hong, the emperor of the Great Liang Empire?" ”
Prime Minister Zhao Youzheng said in a deep voice: "I didn't agree, Your Majesty's feelings for the eldest princess, several princes know that Your Majesty is very opposed to marrying the eldest princess to Ouyang Hong, the emperor of the Great Liang Empire, and the ministers and other ministers have persuaded Your Majesty for a long time, and they have not changed Your Majesty's mind." ”
King Gui Murong Qi snorted coldly at this time: "Marrying the eldest princess to Ouyang Hong, the emperor of the Great Liang Empire, is a matter related to the life and death of the Great Chu Empire, even if the imperial brother is the king of a country, he can't act arbitrarily at this juncture, we, the princes and the ministers of the imperial court, must continue to put pressure on the imperial brother to let him agree to this matter!" ”
King Kang Murong Yun nodded and said: "What the third brother said is reasonable, we must not make our Great Chu Empire destroyed by the Kasi people because of the personal feelings of our children, and the assistance of the Great Liang Empire is absolutely extremely precious to the Great Chu Empire at this time!" ”
Emperor Murong is the eldest son of the previous emperor of the Great Chu Empire, Murong Ming, the king of Fu, is the second son of the previous emperor of the Great Chu Empire, Murong Qi, the king of Gui, is the third son of the previous emperor of the Great Chu Empire, and Murong Yun, the king of Kang, is the youngest son of the emperor of the previous Great Chu Empire.
Prime Minister Zhao Youzheng sighed and said: "Although our Great Chu Empire has formed a military alliance with the Great Liang Empire and the Great Wu Empire, but the Great Liang Empire because of the invasion of the Merlin Kingdom, the assistance to our Great Chu Empire is really a drop in the bucket, and the diplomatic ambassador of our imperial court in Bianliang City, the capital of the Great Liang Empire, finally got a promise from Ouyang Hong, the emperor of the Great Liang Empire, as long as our Great Chu Empire sends Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to the palace of Bianliang City and becomes Ouyang Hong's concubine, The Great Liang Empire will multiply the amount of supplies that will be sent to our Great Chu Empire by 5 times, or even more! In this way, at least the 1.8 million army troops of our Great Chu Empire will not go hungry, but it will be difficult for Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess! ”
Fuwang Murong Ming, Guiwang Murong Qi and Kangwang Murong Yun looked at each other and did not speak, but the three of them showed contempt for Prime Minister Zhao Youzheng in their eyes, after all, the contradiction between Prime Minister Zhao Youzheng and the eldest princess Murong Qian is almost to the point that everyone in the court of the Great Chu Empire is well known, if others have some regrets about the eldest princess marrying Ouyang Hong, the emperor of the Great Liang Empire, but Prime Minister Zhao Youzheng must have raised his hands to welcome it.
The situation is indeed as the three princes of the Great Chu Empire thought, don't look at Prime Minister Zhao Youzheng's face at this time, and even with a little regret, but this is Zhao Youzheng's cunning performance, in fact, he has already blossomed in his heart.
The contradiction between Prime Minister Zhao Youzheng and the eldest princess Murong Qian existed before the Kas Kingdom invaded the Great Chu Empire, mainly because of the problem of corrupt officials.
The officialdom of the Great Chu Empire was greedy for ink, and even the military expenses for the military department of the Great Chu Empire, some officials dared to stretch out their hands, so that in the end, even many senior officers of the military of the Great Chu Empire joined the ranks of corrupt officials in this atmosphere of greed for ink.
It can be seen from one thing how rampant the corrupt officials of the Great Chu Empire are, for example, the air force of the Great Chu Empire once imported 200 third-generation fighters for export of the Mistu Empire to the Mistu Empire, the first power on the Blue Water Planet, originally according to the market price at that time, the price of each third-generation fighter should be about 15 million meters, but the Great Chu Empire finally purchased these 200 third-generation fighters for export of the Mistu Empire at a price of 30 million meters each.
As for most of the extra rice yuan, it was in the form of kickbacks and went into the pockets of the officials and senior officers of the Air Force who were responsible for purchasing this batch of fighters in the Great Chu Empire.
At present, 100 meters is equivalent to 1 gram of gold or 20 grams of silver, and 30 million meters is equivalent to 300 kilograms of gold.
Because of its military strength and economic strength, the Mistu Empire is firmly ranked first on the Blue Water Planet, so the Mi Yuan of the Mistu Empire has also become the recognized circulation currency of other countries on the Blue Water Planet, and international transactions are generally settled in the Mi Yuan.
The eldest princess Murong Qian knew that the corruption of the officialdom of the Great Chu Empire had reached the point where it must be cured, otherwise the Great Chu Empire would be ruined by the corrupt officials, so before the invasion of the Great Chu Empire by the Kas Kingdom, the eldest princess Murong Qian began to take the lead in cracking down on the corruption of the officialdom of the Great Chu Empire.
And the biggest corrupt official in the Great Chu Empire should be Zhao Youzheng, who has been in the position of prime minister for more than ten years, the eldest princess Murong Qian hit Prime Minister Zhao Youzheng with the first shot to fight officialdom corruption, but unfortunately the treacherous and cunning Zhao Youzheng has dealt with all the hidden dangers properly, and did not let Murong Qian find any evidence of Zhao Youzheng's greed, so that Murong Qian's first shot against officialdom corruption did not fire, but Murong Qian did not give up, and still chased Prime Minister Zhao Youzheng, A large number of people were dispatched to investigate Zhao Youzheng, but unfortunately, because of the invasion of the Great Chu Empire by the Kas Kingdom, the eldest princess Murong Qian's investigation into the corruption of Prime Minister Zhao Youzheng had to be terminated, and the Liangzi of Prime Minister Zhao Youzheng and the eldest princess Murong Qian was also concluded.
After the invasion of the Great Chu Empire by the Kas Kingdom, the eldest princess Murong Qian gradually controlled the military power of the Great Chu Empire's army, which made Prime Minister Zhao Youzheng want to take revenge on Murong Qian and did not dare to act rashly, but now that there is an opportunity to retaliate against Murong Qian, and it can bring benefits to the Great Chu Empire, Zhao Youzheng will of course do his best to promote this matter.
Murong Ming, King Murong Ming, King Gui Murong Qi and King Kang Murong Yun are also full of complaints about the eldest princess Murong Qian, you must know that these three princes have military power in their hands, and the number of troops under their control is not small, but after Murong Qian took control of the military headquarters of the Great Chu Empire, he gradually used his means to weaken the military power in the hands of the three princes step by step, and now the army that these three princes can control together is less than 10,000 people, which is dozens of times smaller than their previous forces. This makes the three princes not have a grudge against the eldest princess Murong Qian!
Previously, the Great Chu Empire had to rely on the eldest princess to lead the army to resist the attack of the Kas, and the three princes also knew how important Murong Qian was to the invaded Great Chu Empire, so they could only endure Murong Qian's weakening of their military power.
But now that the Great Chu Empire only has 5 provinces left, and there are natural dangers in the Hong'e Mountains to protect the remaining 5 provinces, the 3 princes think that Murong Qian's role in the Great Chu Empire has weakened a lot, this time Prime Minister Zhao Youzheng proposed to marry the eldest princess to Ouyang Hong, the emperor of the Great Liang Empire, in exchange for more assistance from the Great Liang Empire, and the 3 princes immediately decided to promote this matter.
If the Great Chu Empire does not have Murong Qian, the eldest princess, the three princes are likely to get most of the control of the army of the Great Chu Empire, which is still very tempting for the three princes.
Fuwang Murong Ming spoke again: "That niece of this king has always talked about the interests of the royal family of the Great Chu Empire, and now it is time for her to sacrifice for the interests of the royal family of the Great Chu Empire. Prime Minister, does she know about marrying her to Ouyang Hong, the emperor of the Great Liang Empire? ”
Prime Minister Zhao Youzheng stroked his beard and said: "Although there was no official telegram to Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, I believe that Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess should have known about this matter, but Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess did not send back any statement." ”
King Gui Murong Qi said hatefully: "At the beginning, Murong Qian used the interests of the royal family of the Great Chu Empire as an excuse to take back the military power of our princes little by little into the hands of the military department, and now it is time for her to pay for the interests of the royal family of the Great Chu Empire, where is she still needed to express her position, she is waiting to be the concubine of Ouyang Hong, the emperor of the Great Liang Empire!" ”
Prime Minister Zhao Youzheng shook his head and said: "His Royal Highness King Gui, things will not be so simple, after all, now those guys in the military department listen to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, if Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is unwilling to marry Ouyang Hong, the emperor of the Great Liang Empire, we have no way, most of the military power can be controlled in the hands of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." ”
When King Gui Murong Qi heard this, he immediately shouted loudly: "She dares!" If she dares to act boldly and recklessly by controlling the military power, this king will dare to raise troops to clear the king's side! ”
"Third child, shut up!" Fuwang Murong Ming immediately said loudly.
King Kang Murong Yun also immediately said: "Third brother, don't talk nonsense! It would not be good if this word reached the ears of the imperial brother. ”
At this time, Prime Minister Zhao Youzheng said with a smile: "Rest assured, Weichen is not a mouthy person!" ”
King Fu Murong Ming continued: "Let's still discuss, how can we get the imperial brother to agree to marry the eldest princess to Ouyang Hong, the emperor of the Great Liang Empire!" ”
King Kang Murong Yun thought for a while and said: "The imperial brother's ears are soft, it is better for a few of our princes, as well as several important ministers of the imperial court, to go to the imperial brother to cry together, and the matter of marrying the eldest princess to Ouyang Hong, the emperor of the Great Liang Empire, has risen to the key to the life and death of the Great Chu Empire, I believe that under such great pressure, even if he loves the eldest princess Murong Qian very much, he has to agree to this matter!" ”
Prime Minister Zhao Youzheng said with a smile: "King Kang's idea coincides with Weichen, I believe that Your Majesty will take care of the overall situation under the persuasion of several princes and so many of our ministers!" (To be continued.) )
