Chapter 241: Seizure of power

Looking at the tiger talisman, Gu Miaoxuan seemed to remember the words that Lin Yiliu entrusted to herself at that time, "If the Lanling Kingdom is no longer the Lanling Kingdom of the past, then you should stand up and bring the fate of the country back on the right track." ”

Tightening her grip on the talisman in her hand, Gu Miaoxuan was a little helpless, because the people outside the door had already attracted her attention.

When she was sleeping at night, Gu Miaoxuan dreamed that she and Lin Yiliu went back together, and at that time, she handed over the tiger talisman to herself, looking at the other party's expression, that infiltrating look, so that she immediately came over.

At this time, she saw a sighing sound outside, which made her hide immediately.

After a while, the door of the room was slowly opened, and the two of them crept into the room, and when they came to the back of Gu Miaoxuan, they saw Gu Miaoxuan suddenly say something, "Are you looking for me?" ”

As soon as the two turned around, they saw Gu Miaoxuan immediately rush over and knock them unconscious.

When she woke up, Gu Miaoxuan forced them to ask them, only to understand that they were people sent by the King of Lanling, and the purpose was to tie her up and hand her over to Yunnan while Gu Miaoxuan was asleep.

Looking at their appearance, Gu Miaoxuan clenched her fists angrily and asked them to lead her way to the emperor's bedroom.

However, when they came to the room, when the two had not begged for mercy, they saw Gu Miaoxuan knock them unconscious, and then walked into the room by herself.

Of course, the emperor hadn't found out that Gu Miaoxuan had come in at this time, so Gu Miaoxuan began to rummage through the other half's tiger talisman.

At this moment, the door of the room suddenly opened, and a familiar voice came in, which frightened Gu Miao and immediately hid to the side.

After lighting the candle, the emperor looked at the surroundings and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Someone..."

I saw that before the emperor could shout, a knife suddenly hit his neck.

"If you don't want to die, don't talk to me, and obediently hand over the other half of the tiger talisman."

Looking back, it was actually Gu Miaoxuan, and the emperor was a little surprised, "Aren't you already..."

"You've been arrested, haven't you? I have long seen through your tricks, and want to arrest me and hand me over to Yunnan while I am sleeping, Your Majesty, you are forcing me to rebel! Gu Miaoxuan said helplessly.

The emperor saw that Gu Miaoxuan just wanted the tiger talisman, as long as he didn't give it, he probably wouldn't hurt himself, so he said, "I know you won't hurt me, because you still want the tiger talisman..."

"Brush!"

Without waiting for the emperor to finish speaking, Gu Miaoxuan immediately cut a wound on the emperor's arm.

"Ahh

"Your Majesty, I only have one night, and I don't have that much time to wait slowly, but I don't mind killing you and looking for it slowly." After Gu Miaoxuan finished speaking, she slowly put the knife to the emperor's neck.

Seeing the knife slowly approaching, the emperor immediately confessed, "I understand, I will hand over the tiger talisman to you, don't kill me!" ”

Seeing that the emperor was willing to cooperate, Gu Miaoxuan moved away a little, and then asked the emperor to go up and bring the tiger talisman over.

When the emperor handed over the tiger talisman to Gu Miaoxuan, I saw Gu Miaoxuan take out the other half of the tiger talisman, and when the two became one, he couldn't help laughing, "Hahaha... Now the entire Lanling Kingdom is mine! ”

Looking at this scene, the emperor was a little surprised, "Why do you have the other half of the tiger talisman?" ”

Gu Miaoxuan said what happened back then, but what the emperor didn't expect was that the tiger talisman that was handed over to Lin Yiliu back then would now appear in Gu Miaoxuan's hands.

However, now that Gu Miaoxuan has a complete tiger talisman, then Lanling Kingdom is under her rule.

The next day, I saw Gu Miaoxuan come to the main hall, and announced his idea of becoming the emperor on the spot, although many people were unwilling, but when Gu Miaoxuan took out the tiger talisman, everyone had to kneel and worship.

Subsequently, Gu Miaoxuan began to deal with national government affairs, basically in order to form an army, revenge was the first, and even began to adjust the taxes of Lanling State, wanting to put pressure on the surrounding effects.

Two months later, I saw that Gu Miaoxuan's Lanling Kingdom began to improve, but it was very difficult for the people, because the taxes were basically used for military purposes, and the land began to be abandoned due to the frequent conscription, and the grain production began to be a little low.

Although the King of Lanling, who was witnessing something, wanted to persuade Gu Miaoxuan, the person in front of him seemed to just want to organize the army to take revenge, and in the face of such a person who did not agree with his own ideas, no matter who he was, he was imprisoned for treason.

The king of Lanling had no choice but to secretly send a messenger to spread the news here to the kingdom of Yunnan.

A few days later, I saw Mo Xuanyin handling government affairs, and I saw a messenger running in with a anxious face, "His Royal Highness the Prince, there are... There is a reply from Lanlingguo. ”

Hearing that it was Lan Lingguo's reply, Mo Xuanyin thought that they had caught Gu Miaoxuan, and opened the envelope excitedly.

However, the things inside were beyond his expectations, Gu Miaoxuan not only returned to Lanling Country first, but even used the Tiger Fu to control the government, Lanling Country has become a poor livelihood, and I hope that Yunnan State can send troops to fight and recover Lanling Kingdom.

Looking at such a letter, Mo Xuanyin was a little surprised, he originally expected that King Lanling would help him bring people, but now he had to save them in turn, which made him a little funny.

At this time, Gu Xiqian stewed a tonic over, and after hearing such a thing, he immediately became angry.

"Hmm... Originally, these two were not good things, King Lanling originally wanted to do things, but now that there is a different person, the situation has not changed, so it is up to them to fight to the death, maybe Lanling Kingdom will destroy itself like this. Gu Xiqian said.

Mo Xuanyin also felt that there was some truth, but since Lanling Kingdom was hoarding strength, it was natural that he also needed to keep an eye on it, so he sent spies to Lanling Kingdom to find out the news.

On the other hand, with Gu Miaoxuan's rule, the reputation of Lanling Kingdom began to become bad, and the previous incident made the whole Yunnan Kingdom hate Gu Miaoxuan very much, and Mo Xuanyin at this time felt that this was an opportunity, so he talked about Gu Miaoxuan in front of everyone.

Not only was the king of Yunnan assassinated, but also the queen, blaming Gu Xiqian and sending troops to Yan State, all of which were counted on Gu Miaoxuan's head, and suddenly the ministers seconded the proposal to send troops to Lanling Kingdom to avenge the king of Yunnan.

However, Mo Xuanyin appeased them, he understood that he still had Nanyue to deal with, although the current Lanling Kingdom was already strong and strong, but if it really fought, the other party would not necessarily fight against the water, plus his enemy was only Gu Miaoxuan, if he could make Lanling Kingdom a vassal, it would naturally be a good thing.

Seeing that Yunnan has no internal worries, it is time to fight against foreign enemies together.

Two days later, Mo Xuanyin and Gu Xiqian came to Huzhou non-stop and discussed with Dongfang Yi about sending troops.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Commander Meng, I thought you had no intention of sending troops." Dongfang Yi said with a smile.

Everyone also explained what happened recently, Yan has rebuilt after recovering the territory, and now it is also actively preparing for war, Huzhou has also increased the intensity of conscription, but the grain and grass are indeed a little stretched, but at present, it is still supported by stacked double buildings, which is not a problem for the time being.

However, in Gu Xiqian's opinion, although there is such a solution, it is naturally not a way to go on in the long run, so she met Dongfang Yi.

"County Lord, this is our latest breakdown." Dongfang Yi handed over the roster.

Looking at the records inside, Gu Xiqian couldn't help but sigh, Huzhou was already comparable to a small country under their governance, but it was still insufficient in terms of grain and grass.

"I remember, there are some places in Huzhou that should not be available from time to time, haven't you thought about expanding the border a little?" Gu Xiqian asked, pointing to the border of the map.

Dongfang Yi said with some embarrassment: "County Lord, it is not easy for us to govern Huzhou, and you also know that the result of such forced conscription is naturally that there is no one to farm, and even the land here has not been fully utilized, how can you dare to mention the matter of opening up the territory, and besides, there is still a battle to be fought in Nanyue, right?" ”

Gu Xiqian was also a little helpless, hoarding strength, but it was to let Huzhou slowly show signs of decline, in order to be able to share a piece of the pie with the other two countries, and such a result was inevitable.

"In this way, didn't there be a prisoner of Lanling in the previous war of Yan Kingdom? We can borrow it from her for hard labor, and in time the problem of food and grass will naturally be solved. Gu Xiqian said.

Dongfang Yi also felt that this method was feasible, and then found Meng Qijun, and when he knew that she was holding thousands of Lanling Kingdom captives in her hands, Dongfang Yi immediately asked to take over the captives.

"You mean, you want the captives of the Lanling Kingdom?" Meng Qijun was a little surprised.

"That's right, hasn't Yan Guo already recovered the lost land? In addition, the Lanling Kingdom is already surviving, why keep the captives? Dongfang Yi said.

Meng Qijun also felt that what he said was reasonable, so he arranged for someone to go back and report.

Looking at the thousands of captives, Dongfang Yi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't help but that they would be able to solve the problem of food, and the remaining land in Huzhou would also be fully utilized, and it would not be a problem to open up the border in a few years.

In the evening, the four of them began to discuss the formation of an alliance, but Dongfang Yi acted like a courtier, and when it was his turn to speak, he basically asked Gu Xiqian.

Just when the two of them were also confused, they saw Dongfang Yi stand up.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in fact, the strength of Huzhou was funded by the county lord back then, and she has been funding us, so our Huzhou forces are willing to obey the county lord's will." After saying that, he knelt down on the spot.

Mo Xuanyin and Meng Qijun were stunned for a moment, they didn't expect that such a force was actually established by Gu Xiqian.

At this time, Meng Qijun was already full of admiration for Gu Xiqian, not only assisting Mo Xuanyin, but also secretly cultivating his own power, compared to her, he was simply a reckless man.
