Thousands of miles away, the end of the vast Gobi has now been transformed into a northern county under the jurisdiction of Western Chu.

Because the war was effectively controlled, there were no evil acts such as burning, killing, looting, etc., and the northern county was basically not damaged, except for a few forces that tried to resist, it basically remained the same. Each city is still prosperous, imprinted with the elegance of the years, and countless exotic caravans have been added, making the northern county more rich and lively.

In order to prevent the resurgence of the forces of the previous dynasty, Emperor Nangong Qing of Western Chu completely and strictly controlled the strength of the cities in the northern county, except for the necessary patrol city defense, military service of the government and so on, to prevent chaos. Under the command of the Hou of Beijun County, there are 100,000 troops, all of whom are soldiers who have served in Western Chu for more than three years, loyal and ready to suppress at any time.

The capital city that used to be North Vietnam has been renamed Lingxi, because it was temporarily established, and the city lord's mansion was not built again, but directly the original imperial palace, removing the name of representing the imperial power of the Son of Heaven, and temporarily used it for office purposes.

On the first day he was transferred here from Xichu, Guan Hou had a strange feeling.

With such majestic palaces, gorgeous buildings, and countless palaces, is this the place where he governs? Xichu County guards the annual examination, which is adjusted up or down according to political performance, but if it is operated properly, there are also those who sit in place for decades.

How nice would it be if he would always be the warden of Northshire?

The people of the entire Beijun are millions, almost eighty percent of the entire population of Western Chu. There were so many people, peasants, merchants, squires, wealthy families, scholars, and even declining aristocrats...... Now they are all his people!

Guan Hou thought of it, he was the parent official of Beijun, and the people of Beijun were naturally his people.

With this in mind, his thoughts began to change day by day, and when he woke up from a midnight nightmare and dreamed that he was demoted by Emperor Xichu and left the downfall of Beijun, his mind changed completely. Before and after, it's only a month.

How can you give up the glory and power in your hands?

Isn't he the same as His Majesty now, the king of Beijun in disguise? It's just that it lacks a name.

On a rainy night, he gathered a few of his most trusted henchmen to conspire, and his impassioned words and promises unexpectedly touched several hearts that had been ready to move for a long time. In the following month, Guan Hou eliminated dissidents and bribed collaborators, and under the huge profit offensive and the threat of troops, he completely controlled Beijun.

I want to get Kita-gun completely and become a generation. The founding ancestor of the country, Guan Hou has a lot to do.

But the most important thing is to find a collaborator in the capital of Western Chu. It is not easy to find such a candidate if he wants to be justified afterwards without arousing the ideas of others.

The first person Guan Hou thought of was Nangong Yu.

This second prince of Western Chu has a good reputation, has always won the trust of Emperor Western Chu, and is very business-minded, and eighty percent of the inner treasury of the entire royal family is earned back by him. If such a person cooperates with him, wouldn't he not only be able to discover the secrets of Xichu, let him be ready at any time, but also give him the best name afterwards and become the rightful ancestor of the founding of the country!

It's a pity that someone quickly dispelled Guan Hou's thoughts.

Nangong Yu is good, but he has never rebelled, and he is loyal to Emperor Xichu. If you want him to participate in this kind of rebellion and killing, let alone succeed, I am afraid that as soon as it is revealed, he will denounce it.

And Nangong Wan'er is the second candidate recommended by her confidants.

"My lord, this is a secret letter that has just been delivered from the capital." In the city lord's mansion, the confidant He Hai held a box in his hand and sent it up respectfully.

Seeing that this secret letter was so big, Guan Hou frowned, took it and opened it, and it turned out to be a picture scroll inside.

Actually......

Guan Hou picked up the picture scroll, unfolded it and took a look, only to see that the painting was a beautiful woman with a vivid color, just at the prime age, Emei was lightly swept, dignified and beautiful, lazily lying on the chaise longue, revealing half of the snow-white jade feet, extremely tempting.

A lust. Thinking spontaneously, Guan Hou laughed: "Wonderful, it's really wonderful!" ”

Unexpectedly, Nangong Wan'er actually sent him a portrait of herself, and she was so charming and seductive in the painting, isn't this hinting at him something? The only time he secretly returned to the capital of Western Chu and personally met Nangong Wan'er in the princess's mansion, just before he was rumored to be married.

That night, he left the princess's boudoir for a full hour, and the best collaborator had already been decided.

If he succeeds in winning Beijun, he will be the emperor and Nangong Wan'er will be the queen, sharing the prosperity of the world and the supreme honor. He was responsible for recruiting troops and horses in Beijun and secretly causing trouble, while Nangong Wan'er was keeping an eye on the movements in the capital of Western Chu, muddying the pond waters, and biting all the charges on the head of Nalan Ye, the king of Chu.

If Nalan Ye is not eradicated, Guan Hou will definitely not have the confidence to succeed.

Nalan Ye's prestige has shocked the world, not to mention that he is a small county guard, and even the powerful Dongwan no one dares to contend with it. Therefore, Guan Hou and Nangong Wan'er decided to create discord between Nalan Ye and Emperor Western Chu first, secretly add fuel to the fire, confiscate his military power, and make the situation in Western Chu as chaotic as possible.

When the time comes, he will be able to take advantage of the chaos and take the northern county.

At that time, not only will he have the country, but also Nangong Wan'er, the real royal princess, which is the real goal of his manager.

Holding the portrait, Guan Hou looked eagerly, and longed for Nangong Wan'er to be in front of him, so that he could have a good kiss with Fangze. After a cup of tea, he put the painting away and asked him to put it away, and then asked his henchmen about the recent movements in the city.

"Since the adults lowered the commercial tax, there have been a lot more merchants in the cities, and it seems to be more prosperous than in North Vietnam in the past." He Hai lowered his voice and said, "Therefore, all kinds of materials that adults need have been brought in in the caravan, and they are absolutely unaware." ”

"Well, that's good, there's so much you need to keep it a secret."

Guan Hou nodded, and said casually: "How did you dispose of the intercepted things?" ”

He Hai hurriedly said: "My lord, the first batch was processed ten days ago, and 1.3 million taels of military salaries were raised, and the second batch was just processed yesterday, and a total of 3 million taels has been collected so far, and it will take about three or five more times, so it should be about the same......"

"What?" Guan Hou's face sank, he didn't expect this batch of treasures to be processed so slowly.

"My lord, that's right, these treasures left over from the previous dynasty are all royal things, and they are priceless, and my subordinates know that if it weren't for the need to raise military salaries, my lord wouldn't have sold them so cheaply. Although the squires, wealthy households, and nobles in various cities have bought a lot of them, after all, the price is high, and they will not be able to dispose of it for a while. Those who returned to Lord Shun were estimated to be unable to squeeze out oil and water, and there were still eight million treasures left in those treasures......"

"There are so many?"

Guan Hou's brows furrowed, and for the first time, he was irritable that there were too many treasures.

Since they are already preparing to rebel and stand on their own, it is natural that the soldiers and horses will go ahead before they move the grain and grass, and they must first raise enough salaries and armaments. When Emperor Xichu ordered all the royal treasures left over from the previous dynasty to be escorted into Beijing, he started the idea of these treasures.

It's obviously his thing, how can it be given to the Western Chu royal family for nothing?

Intending to use these ownerless things to plot a major event, it is preliminarily estimated that the military salary will be at least three million taels, and if the war drags on, more will be needed. As for the money needed to purchase food, grass, armaments, etc., the plan is not less than five million, and if accidents and damages are counted, at least another million more.

It is preliminarily estimated that if you want to become an emperor by yourself, you need to prepare at least 10 million yuan, after all, this is not to kill the emperor directly, and it will be over if you sit on the throne. He needs to make all preparations to meet the stormy and bloodthirsty kills of Nalan Night, the king of Chu, otherwise he will fall short.

This man is really terrifying, not only popular with the people, but also with a martial arts strategy, and has won the support of the entire Western Chu, including the emperor. And he is in charge of the marquis, but he is just a small state official, in charge of a county, although he has an army of 100,000, but he is a Western Chu soldier, he does not dare to move at all.

Seeing Guan Hou's face becoming more and more gloomy, He Hai's mind turned and said tentatively: "My lord, according to the speculation of his subordinates, how can those rich families in the city have this little silver?" It's just that they are reluctant to fully support adults, since they don't know the current affairs, and they are looking ahead, it is better for adults to ......"

Leaning into Guan Hou's ear, he whispered a few words, and Guan Hou sneered when he heard it, "Okay, good ......"

After finishing speaking, He Hai pondered again: "But my lord, if you want to bring these people together, you have to think of a name first, otherwise they will not dare to come for many excuses." ”

Name?

It is indeed not easy to put together all these rich people, after all, there are at least hundreds of people in the five cities under the North County. If it wasn't a big deal, how could they come all the way to Lingxi City?

How was the banquet? Guan Hou thought about it.

His birthday? No, there are still five months left, and this excuse can only be used. Or...... Which of his children was married? can be calculated a little, his eldest daughter has already been married, the younger daughter is only eleven years old, the eldest son has already married two houses, and the younger son just got married last year, this method will not work.

Suddenly, something suddenly occurred to him.

"When the news goes out, it says that the old lady is seriously ill, and everyone is invited to take a look." Guan Hou said lightly, without any expression on his face.

"What, old lady......"

He Hai was very puzzled: "But the old lady is healthy and well, why is she seriously ill?" ”

Guan Hou's face sank: "I said that if I am seriously ill, I will be seriously ill, don't you understand?" ”

Only then did he understand the meaning, He Hai held back his heartbeat, and hurriedly said respectfully: "Yes, my lord, my subordinates will do it." However, in order not to make everyone suspicious, I am afraid that I still have to get a medical notice, which shows the kindness and filial piety of adults. ”

"Well, yes, I'll leave this matter to you, let's do it quickly."

In the afternoon of the same day, an urgent notice was posted at the gate of the city lord's mansion: The city lord's loving mother suddenly fell ill, and the medicine stone did not enter, so she asked for a famous doctor all over the world, as long as the old lady could be cured, the city lord would be grateful.
