Volume 1 The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss Chapter 85 The Situation in the Western Continent
The capital of Liangguo.
The crown prince Gu Cang was in the mansion outside the palace.
The maid Ningshuang held a delicate wooden tray, pushed open the door, stepped on a chic and delicate little step, walked into the room, and then pursed her lips and knelt on the ground, picked up the bound files from the tray and put them on the desk full of papers.
In addition to Gu Cang's personal maid, she is also the largest intelligence agency in the Liangguo Imperial Court, and has been renamed a member of Tianluo after being taken over by the crown prince Gu Cang himself.
This is where Gu Cang's confidence lies as the prince of the East Palace, this one is lurking in the dark, silently supervising hundreds of officials and even the whole country, and even the entire Western Continent's Secret Espionage Department, which is the real real power department within the imperial court, and it is a mysterious institution that Gu Li and other princes have only heard of.
Since the last time the merman doctor came, the father and son had spoken out, Gu Yi had completely delegated power to this son who made him extremely relieved, this kind of thing is unique in the history of all the clans in the Canghai Realm, after all, this kind of sharp knife that hides in the shadows and hurts others and oneself if it is not done well, the person in power should be caught in his hand no matter what.
Gu Cang stretched out his hand and grabbed a file from the desk, on which he wrote a small word 'Xuan' with a pen, this is a piece of information that he specially asked to follow up with the fifth prince Gu Xuan's recent situation at any time, Gu Cang has divided the level of information into five levels of heaven, earth, people, gods and ghosts since he took over Tianluo, and all the information about Gu Xuan was specially marked at the prefecture level, which shows that he attaches great importance to Gu Xuan.
"Beheading Xu Sanjin on the street, it's too bloody, and it lacks some imperial demeanor, even if it's so direct, the people won't accept your affection, but this kind of thunder method is also a bit useful, but it's not beautiful after all, and it needs to be polished. Gu Cang lowered his head and looked at the text on the file, and commented casually: "Maybe it has been suppressed in the capital for a long time, and it is understandable." ”
"Well, Zhu Dachun, Feng Tiesheng, these are all available talents, worthy of courtesy, leaving Chen Anmin's life to manage the county government, not bad. Gu Cang took a sip of tea and moistened his throat before continuing, "Corporal Lixian, know people and make good use of them, these are all qualities that superiors must have, and they must be treated especially in special periods, although Chen Anmin is a straw bag, but it is not useless, now is the time for a shortage of people, so you have to rely on him to go up." ”
Ning Shuang in front of him lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, and whispered: "The fifth prince is in the north, he is helpless, and he has no capital to do anything, is it too much for you to persecute him like this." ”
That is, Gu Cang has a good temperament, and he has been with these two personal maids for more than ten years, and the relationship between them is very close, even if Ning Shuang is actually a cautious and disciplined character, but he also dares to make suggestions to Gu Cang in private, which is also Gu Cang's own request, if you have any suggestions or feel that you have done something bad, you might as well put it forward, after all, people are not sages, who can do nothing, no one can do everything perfectly, sometimes you have to rely on outsiders to point it out.
Gu Cang raised his head and glanced at Ning Shuang on the other side, smiled slightly, and explained: "Don't treat me or him, if you don't hurry up, how can you compete for the other few? ”
"However, Gongzi himself can lead me to fight for hegemony in the atrium, why bother to fake others?" Ning Shuang's face was full of incomprehension, it was said that with her temperament, she should never ask such a question, this was really because she cared too much about Gu Cang, she had not yet known that Gu Cang had refused to go to the shark clan for treatment.
Gu Cang shook his head, sighed softly, didn't explain directly, just turned his head and said lazily: "Because your son-in-law is lazy, okay, I just want to be a hands-off shopkeeper, sit at home and collect money, let them do the troublesome things, the sooner they become talents, I can rest early, and when the time comes, I can accompany the two of you more, isn't it better?"
Ning Shuang lowered her head with a red face, her eyes were full of sweet happiness, but she didn't dare to let Gu Cang find out, she just muttered in a soft voice.
"Childe's talent and open-mindedness are unparalleled, and Ning Shuang is willing to follow Childe all the time. ”
Gu Cang stroked Ning Shuang's fingers that had been calloused because of years of hard work, full of distress.
"Frost, protect yourself, no matter what, you have to live well. ”
Ning Shuang's kneeling body trembled slightly, she didn't know why Gu Cang would suddenly say such a thing, but she instinctively felt a trace of unease.
Just now, he was just feeling, and seeing that his little maid, who had been with him for more than ten years, had already noticed it, Gu Cang quickly changed the topic, handed over a file, and said with a smile.
"You see, you always say that I pushed the fifth brother too hard, and the fifth brother immediately gave me a surprise. ”
"Promote the goodness of being a Liangguo person, and distribute money to people with Liangguo household registration, well, good. Gu Cang nodded and praised, "Although the technique is immature, a little eager for quick success, and the investment is too large, it is also time-pressed, and once it works, it is very good to solve his urgent need." ”
"You see, people have to be under pressure to make progress,"
Ning Shuang's mind was clear, and after seeing the things recorded in the dossier, and hearing Gu Cang's praise, he naturally thought of one thing, and also covered his mouth and smiled.
"The same thing, Childe can do much more skillfully, at least the one who defends the country has not been aware of your intentions until now. ”
Weiguo is adjacent to Yanzhou, which sits on the land of two states, and the Jin State next to it has become a corner, defending each other, and firmly restraining the intention of Liangguo to go north from Yanzhou.
The surname of the country is Duanmu, the current monarch is nearly sixty years old, for the monarch of a country, it is a real longevity, in recent years, he has already ignored the government and politics, and he has been recuperating with peace of mind, but he is still greedy for power, and has not abdicated, and he has given birth to several adult princes and princesses, but there is only one who can really get Gu Cangfa's eyes, Duanmu Shuofeng.
Gu Cang shook his head, did not belittle the other party, but said modestly: "I have too many rights and resources at my disposal, and I have seen and heard too much, they are all very good, but they are just poor in vision, this is also what I want to teach the fifth child." ”
His eyes span thousands of years, he sees things from a high vantage point, and his views on external objects and ways of doing things are very different from others, which is where he is really stronger than these proud sons of heaven born with the times.
"Swap identities with each other, I won't do better than them, especially Duanmu Shuofeng, who should soon be aware of my intentions, but it's a pity that Da Liang's iron hooves have become a fixed situation to go north, and they don't have to be afraid of defending the country. ”
"The four major forces around, the Shu Kingdom in the west is located in the mountains, although it can rely on the mountain defense, it seems to be reliable, in fact, it has long lost its enterprising spirit, it is difficult to succeed, and it can be ignored completely, as for the children in the desert who have played with their families, they can also be broken with a snap of their fingers, and only Yanzhou is still in some trouble. ”
"Especially the Shangguan family and the Duanmu family of the Jin Kingdom have intermarried for generations, helping each other, like a country, it is still a little difficult to divide and rule, but people's hearts are the most difficult to guess, the person who can block the knife for you one moment may be able to wave the knife to kill you the next moment, the world is bustling, all for profit, the people of the Shangguan family's generation are just some high-minded straw bales, which is quite similar to the fourth child, and when the time comes, when Duanmu Shuofeng takes the position, he will know that it will be difficult. ”
Ning Shuang asked with some concern: "Tianluo has also fought with them many times, this Duan Mu Shuofeng is indeed a rare talent, and now the situation within the Wei Kingdom has become clear, the rest of the princes have been suppressed by him, and those people we support have been arrested and eliminated by him, now that Emperor Wei is not out, he is the biggest, with the resources of the two states, can the fifth prince be able to defeat him?"
Gu Cang took a sip of tea, smiled confidently at Ning Shuang: "Isn't there still me behind the fifth brother, not to mention that it's still early, Duanmu Shuofeng is estimated to be the only one in his eyes, and the fifth brother can't be on the stage now, only when he completely stabilizes Huangsha County and can stretch his claws out, can he be regarded as a real talent." ”
"Okay, let's not talk about the fifth brother, he behaved very well this time, bring me the files of the countries in the atrium. ”
The atrium is the place where the desert is passed, after crossing the two countries of Wei and Jin, there is the real center of the entire Western Continent, and even the entire human race, and that is where Gu Cang's eyes go.
The dossier on the information of the atrium is naturally the highest level of 'heaven'.
Gu Cang silently browsed the dossier handed over by Ning Shuang, only his eyes rolled slightly, and his head did not shake, this was all for the sake of reading faster.
After a while, he put away the file in his hand and thought silently for a long time before he suddenly spoke.
"How many days did it take for the dossier to come back?"
Ning Shuang thought for a moment and replied, "Hui Gongzi, I used the best cloud wings, and it should have taken a full seven days. ”
If you want to transmit the news, no matter how fast the horse is, it can't compare to the birds flying in the sky, the cloud wing is a kind of bird specially bred in the house to transmit the message, it is very rare, the speed is extremely fast, from its seven days can cross the entire vast western continent can be seen, this level of letter bird is generally only used to transmit very urgent and important information.
Gu Cang took a deep breath, and there was a hint of eagerness in his eyes that his dream was about to be realized, and he said excitedly.
"It seems that the great era is coming, you go and prepare the horse, I want to enter the palace to meet my father!"
