Chapter 71: Gold Holding (17)

Because the reforms that have benefited the people's livelihood in recent years have achieved remarkable results and have been supported by the people of Great Chu, so no one in the current Great Chu Empire has completely questioned An Sheng's ability as a female emperor, and even those sour literati have set off a wave of praise for An Sheng as a diligent emperor!

Ansheng in Dachu is supported and loved by the people, but in Dachu, this is not the case, there is no female dignity in this continent, it is completely a patriarchal society, macho people abound, and wanton discussions and insults to Ansheng in their country also occur from time to time.

Even when Ansheng feasts envoys from other countries every year, the eyes of those envoys are very obscure, and there are many provocateurs, but they are suppressed to the dust by Ansheng one by one, and they can't afford to stir up wind and waves.

An Sheng turned a blind eye to most of these kinds of things, but he had the idea of conquering by force early in his heart......

Over the years, in addition to gold, Ansheng's other valuable things have been allocated to the treasury, and the recuperation and rapid development and revitalization of the domestic economy in recent years have really increased the economic strength of the Great Chu Empire.

As a result, Ansheng began to expand the size of the army and trained a group of military generals who were good at fighting.

These generals are basically young soldiers from the bottom of the barracks, and after training and training day after day, year after year, they have gradually cultivated several elite troops.

So, when An Sheng was 21 years old, An Sheng gathered an army and ordered Chang Yuan and other generals to set out to conquer Xiliang Kingdom a month after she set off.

And he went to Xiliang Kingdom to explore the way first, An Sheng didn't want to take people, but the queen mother's old mother's heart, An Sheng really couldn't help it.

So he brought the queen mother's right-hand hand man Fu Yue, to say that this rich moon is really capable, every day to make the queen mother happy, the queen mother is like her own daughter, I like it very much.

An Sheng really can't understand what advantages Fuyue can have, such a long-winded minion as Rory, which will make the Queen Mother take a fancy to it, isn't it just a three-legged cat's kung fu?

Along the way, Fu Yue was not idle all the time, and at this time he also said in Rory: "Master, you will cross the border of Dachu before that, and this town is the last place to stay, master, the queen mother said, let the servants take care of you and stay here for the night." ”

An Sheng shielded her all the way, and at this time, Fuyue, the little palace maid, still wanted to command her, so she scolded: "Shut up, and if you are verbose, I will drive you back to the palace." ”

After speaking, he turned around and walked a few steps, as if he thought of something, and added: "Call me Gongzi in the future, it's good if you call yourself Fuyue, don't say leaky!" ”

Fu Yue behind her was aggrieved, and said in her heart: The master is so fierce, she misses the queen mother......

Along the way, there were only An Sheng and Fu Yue on the surface, but in fact, the secret guards of the Zero Pavilion were also following a lot of people, and at this time, An Sheng was slowly watching the information collected by the secret guards in the carriage.

The information says that after the birthday banquet when An Sheng was 16 years old, Fengjingxuan returned to Xiliang Kingdom in a gloomy manner, and now he has become the new emperor of Xiliang Kingdom.

It turned out that after Feng Jingxuan returned to China, the emperor and the crown prince of Xiliang Kingdom had long known about Feng Jingxuan's provocation and troublemaking at Ansheng's birthday banquet and being violently beaten, so they waited for him to treat Feng Jingxuan after returning to China.

The prince of Xiliang Kingdom and Fengjingxuan are old enemies, and the prince refuses to let go of this opportunity, so he has a series of behaviors against him.

After that, the two have been fighting openly and secretly, and finally a year later, the emperor of Xiliang Kingdom died of illness, and the two once fought for the throne.

The prince of Xiliang Kingdom thinks that he is a concubine and an orthodox prince, and it is natural for him to ascend the throne, and Feng Jingxuan, who doesn't know where to get the holy decree, was even certified by the great eunuch and favorite concubine beside the emperor.

In the end, the two met each other, the crown prince was defeated, and died tragically in this battle for the throne, Feng Jingxuan successfully became the emperor of the Xiliang Kingdom he dreamed of......

Fengjingxuan didn't have much power and financial resources, and the battle for the throne was the most expensive and costly, and it was also a big loss of vitality, so it took three years of recuperation before finally sitting on the throne.

It's just that he started to do things when he was well recuperated, and since last year, Fengjingxuan has privately sent people to disguise themselves as bandits, harassing the people in Dachu on a small scale, and creating small riots, An Sheng is very ashamed of this, and he should admit that his skills are not as good as others if he hasn't beaten An Sheng, and it's okay to hold a grudge all the time!

Recalling this, An Sheng took Fuyue to find an inn, planning to stay for one night, replenish some dry food and then set off for Xiliang Kingdom.

After An Sheng entered the store, he casually looked at the layout and environment of the inn, and then immediately retracted his gaze, and said in a light tone: "Xiao Er, please have an upper room, only stay one night." ”

When the shopkeeper saw the customer, he immediately smiled professionally and replied, "Okay, the guest officer, please." ”

The shopkeeper led the way, and while setting up, he instructed: "Guest officer, you are outsiders, you can see it at a glance, hehehe." ”

After the shopkeeper finished smirking, he said in a small and mysterious voice: "Guest officer, you don't know, our border town is very unsafe, you should pay attention to it after dark, but don't go out, no matter what movement there is at night, don't open the door, and don't make a sound." ”

An Sheng glanced at him, and when he saw his expression of asking me why, An Sheng was speechless, and Fuyue next to him was really like meeting a fellow Taoist, and asked very cooperatively: "Why?" ”

Ansheng: One singing and one harmony, with rich expressions, you can play a sketch~

The shopkeeper said mysteriously: "Because it's haunted!" ”

After that, An Sheng ignored the nervous two and went straight into the guest room, while Fuyue and the shopkeeper were muttering outside the door.

An Sheng has been repairing for a long time, and they are going to have dinner, they are still chatting, and they are still talking, and they say in their hearts: Niu Pi, you can really say, as soon as you say it, it will start in half an hour, amazing, amazing!

An Sheng bypassed them to dine downstairs, at this time, Fu Yue followed An Sheng's footsteps as if he had mastered some great secret, and thought behind him: "Childe, slave, and Fu Yue have already inquired, saying that it is the daughter of Liu Yuanwai, the richest in this border town, because she was deceived by a passing merchant, and then it is said that the merchant is very graceful, and he is still very young, it is said that he is very rich and has ...... bearing."

The more Fuyue said, the more biased she became, not only did she not sympathize with the victim, but she actually treated the perpetrator instead, and she really responded to that sentence: the villain's facial features determine the three views of the girl!

An Sheng interrupted angrily and said, "I was deceived, and then what?" ”

Fu Yue had an embarrassed expression on her face, and continued: "That Liu Yuanwai's daughter was confused by the businessman, and she was physically and mentally handsome, at first Liu Yuanwai saw that the businessman was very rich and handsome, and he also agreed to marry his daughter to the businessman, but then before he went to discuss the marriage, the daughter of Liu Yuanwai was abducted by the businessman. ”

"It wasn't until a month later that Liu Yuanwai's daughter returned to Liu's house crying, Liu Yuanwai, who was already distressed about his daughter, was reluctant to scold his daughter, but the good times didn't last long, no one thought that the daughter of the Liu family was pregnant, and the most important thing was to hide it from her parents for five months, it is said that it was not exposed until her belly was too big."

"At that time, the Liu family was really chickens and dogs, and the daughter of the Liu family said that she would give birth to a child, no matter how much she was persuaded, she couldn't be fooled, and then she gave birth to the child!"

An Sheng listened to the story while eating, but he didn't hear the point after listening to it for a long time, so he asked even more angrily: "Then does this have anything to do with not being allowed to go out at night and not being able to respond when I hear movement outside?" ”

Fuyue also knew that she had gone astray again, but she had been serving by An Sheng's side for half a month, she knew that An Sheng was actually very generous to her subordinates, and she had the support of the queen mother, so she became more and more bold, and said coquettishly: "Oh, master, don't worry, ah, no, don't worry~"

"Later, the daughter of the Liu family died of dystocia during childbirth, and it was said that she was very terrible before she died, like a crazy woman, crazy and crazy, and it was because of this that she had a difficult birth. That crazy look, the midwife was scared, since then, the whole town can hear the mournful cry of the daughter of the Liu family, as long as the cry is together, someone answers, then the next day you will find that the daughter of that family has either disappeared without a trace, or everyone in that family has died, choose one of the two! ”

An Sheng absolutely didn't believe in these strange powers, but he didn't want to continue to listen to Fuyue's storytelling, because Fuyue's storytelling was colorful, and the tourists passing by in the inn, although they were also told the same thing by the shopkeeper, were not as clear as Fuyue, so Fuyue was like a storyteller from just now, with her as the center, and a circle of passers-by quickly gathered around.

Ansheng: Headache!

An Sheng returned to the guest room, pondered this matter carefully, and thought that in fact, the whole thing was very easy to analyze, it was absolutely impossible for the daughter of the Liu family to turn into a ghost, and the woman went crazy during childbirth and frightened the midwife, but it was possible that it was true.

It's just that there is a great possibility that the daughter of the Liu family has gone crazy a long time ago, otherwise how could she be pregnant for 5 months before she was found to be pregnant?

An Sheng didn't think that the Liu family girl could hide such a big news.

You must know that in ancient times, women's chastity was more important than anything else, and the education of men and women in ancient times was absolutely conservative, plus the eldest lady who had been missing for a month, Liu Yuanwai would only send more servants to guard it, so many pairs of eyes of caring people, the eldest lady of a rich businessman who had little insight was not able to hide such a big thing!

As for other families who hear the sound of women crying, either the family is dead or the daughter is missing, this is obviously man-made.

There must be someone who took advantage of Liu Yuanwai's daughter to wantonly commit murder, abduct and sell people, kill people and cross goods, plus this boundary belongs to the junction of the two countries, and there are mixed fish and dragons, and someone has committed a crime, and it is also far away from the emperor of Tiangao, and no one cares.

An Sheng touched his chin, after all, this is the border of Dachu, and it is better to manage it, so he called the secret guard and ordered: "Send someone to find out what is going on with Liu Yuanwai's daughter, and secretly monitor the town, and be sure to arrest the criminals who caused trouble in the town." ”

In fact, Fuyue is a person who knows some three-legged cat kung fu and has no social experience, so he is still relatively bold, and sometimes his bearing does not look like a palace maid at all, and the most important point is that before leaving, the queen mother told her to protect her, so she is usually more indulgent to her.

But as soon as she indulged, she had to make inches, and at this time she said indifferently: Master, don't worry, Fuyue will sleep in the outhouse today to protect the master's safety!

An Sheng ignored her, and said in his heart, can he use you? I sleep on a pillow on weekdays, like a pig, I can't wake up no matter how I scream, and my heart is boundless.
