"Don't worry, if Shopkeeper Gu comes back, I will send someone to Yuzhang County to inform the prince as soon as possible.

Mrs. Gu, what about Shun'er and others, King Yuzhang is leaving, and he hasn't come out to send off the prince.

I'm really sorry, I apologize for Gu Shun's child first, and I hope that the prince will forgive me. ”

"Uncle Tartar is worried. Young Master Gu chatted with me quite speculatively last night, and now I should go to sleep, so don't bother him. ”

With that, Tuoba Han got up and was about to take his leave.

"Weichen sends off the prince."

"The little girl sends off the prince."

As soon as Tuoba Han left the mansion, the officers and soldiers outside had already prepared a carriage to Yuzhang, ready to personally escort the prince to Yuzhang's fiefdom.

But Tuoba Han did not get into the car, but asked the officers and soldiers to escort him to the inn where he had stayed the day before, and led his horse out of the stable.

The shopkeeper saw that his inn was surrounded by a large number of officers and soldiers from Jiangnan City, and everyone was so frightened that they knelt on the ground and didn't dare to move.

Tuoba Han retreated from the crowd, did not take a single soldier with him, and rode away.

He didn't go to Yuzhang County temporarily, but to cut off his retreat.

Tuoba Han rushed from the capital to Jiangnan this time, and what he saw and felt along the way strengthened his idea that he must win the crown prince.

Otherwise, the edifice of Daqi, which was already almost decaying, would collapse in a few years.

The Xianbei people are arrogant and lascivious, and they have been suffering from natural disasters for many years, but the government has done nothing, and more and more people have become victims and bandits fleeing from the famine because of lack of food and clothing.

Under the influence of his mother, Tuoba Han was far more friendly to Hermes-Epitek than other brothers since he was a child, and he had half of the Han family blood flowing in his body, and his mother told him a lot of stories about the Han family since he was a child, which made him still have a trace of reverence and sigh for the extinct Han.

Seeing so many Han people displaced and oppressed under the rule of the Great Qi, if this problem is not alleviated, the collapse of the Great Qi will be rapid and irreversible.

As long as there are victims who raise their arms and shout, riots and uprisings, the victims who have been unbearable everywhere will rise up, so that Daqi will die without a place to be buried.

Taking 10,000 steps back, even if he is not thinking about the people of the world, he must also consider his mother and his own safety.

Once the Great Qi is overthrown, these princes will definitely die a miserable death.

He didn't want to follow Daqi to ruin, he wanted to turn the tide, go against Daqi's fate, and continue the changes that his grandfather had promoted all his life.

Therefore, Tuoba Han went to Yuzhang County this time to sell the palace built by the imperial court. Only by fighting against the odds can we have the courage to break through the cauldron and the determination to move forward.

Thinking of this, Tuoba Han tightened the reins, kicked his feet on the horse's belly, and the horse's hooves staggered, and his back disappeared on the horizon of the official road in the face of the fine rain.

At this moment, in the Gu Mansion, a subordinate reported to Tuoba Tartar: "Report to my lord, the prince has left Jiangnan City alone on horseback. His subordinates had already sent plainclothes guards to secretly follow him to protect the safety of the prince. ”

The Tartar prefect beckoned, signaling that he understood.

The subordinate immediately clenched his fists and stepped aside.

The Tartar prefect said to Chu Xiuru who was sitting on the side: "Mrs. Gu, what do you think of the prince's words today?" ”

Chu Xiuru frowned slightly and said: "The prince is trying to win over the Tartar prefect and the Gu family, as for his friendship with Shun'er, I think it should be used more." ”

The Tartar prefect also said with a solemn face: "King Yuzhang came to find the shopkeeper Gu, he must have come to seek the cooperation of the Gu family.

Now the reputation of Shunfeng Dart Bureau in the Jiangnan area has already spread all over the capital, and some fake Shunfeng Dart Bureau branches have appeared in various places, so it can be said that the Gu family is now a piece of fragrant bait.

To put it irreverently, I don't want the Gu family to be involved in the dispute for the throne in the imperial court, when there is no absolute powerhouse, we should always remain vague and neutral, once we become the power of a certain prince, we will be suppressed by other competitors.

Now you and I are grasshoppers on the same rope, and the choice of the Gu family is my position.

As for Shun'er, let's keep him away from the court dispute, he is too young to understand these things, and it is easy to be taken advantage of. ”

Of course, Chu Xiuru would not let Gu Shun easily become a tool of others, as the future leader of the Ancient God Sect, he would always have to summon others.

As the sect leader, she had also used the intelligence network of the Qinglong Division of the Ancient God Sect to collect a lot of news about the current competition for the position of the crown prince within the Great Qi Court.

Today's emperor has not yet appointed a crown prince, according to Xianbei's past practice, often the eldest son is appointed as the crown prince, but the eldest son of Qi-related Daqi died early.

The loss of the eldest son means that the rest of the princes have the opportunity to compete for the throne.

Who doesn't want to win the unification and reign over the world. In the midst of countless interests and entanglements, the various factions within the Great Qi court have stood in line with the prince they have chosen, hoping to assist him in seizing the throne, and he will be an important minister of the Great Qi in the future.

And now in the court, there are a total of five princes who hope to win the crown prince's position, and there is no matter of Tuoba Han, but he suddenly ran out of the capital and showed favor to the Gu family and the Tartar prefect, and the meaning is already obvious.

He also wanted to compete for the throne.

plus the previous five, now it is the sixth son.

For a country, this kind of situation is naturally shaken in its national foundation, and its internal friction is empty, which is extremely dangerous.

But as far as Chu Xiuru's plan is concerned, she can't ask for it.

As long as she muddies the waters inside the Great Qi court, the fiercer the struggle between the princes for the throne will be, and the more the Ancient God Sect will be able to take the opportunity to expand its territory in a big way.

Chu Xiuru's plan is not just one Jingzhou, what she wants is to make all the world surrender to the Ancient God Sect.

"Thank you to the Tartar prefect for reminding me, when my husband comes back, I will mention this matter to him immediately, and then I will invite the Tartar prefect to come over and discuss countermeasures together."

The Tartar prefect snorted, then took a sip of the tea on the table, and then asked, "I heard that Mrs. Gu, you sent someone to cancel Shun'er's marriage contract yesterday, what is going on?" ”

"The Tartar prefect doesn't know anything, it's like this, Shun'er ...... yesterday"

Chu Xiuru told what happened yesterday.

Halfway through hearing this, the Tartar prefect couldn't help it, and scolded: "It's really unreasonable, their little Zhang family is really a wolf ambition, I saw that he Zhang Peien is quite upright and gentlemanly, but I didn't expect that he was also a hypocritical guy with a beast's heart, and he actually attacked Shun'er, a child."

It's okay if this marriage contract is withdrawn, our Shun'er is so well-behaved and cute, and some women like it in the future, and there is no shortage of animals raised by his Zhang family.

As for the Zhang family, I have to give them some color to see, he dared to calculate Shun'er, but he didn't take me seriously at all. ”

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he slammed the table.

"Governor of Tatar, you dissipate your anger first, since the marriage certificate has been returned, Shunfeng Dart Bureau and Yunda Commercial Bank have also severed all cooperation with the Zhang family. That's it. Chu Xiuru persuaded.

"That's not good, when the head of the Gu family agreed to the marriage contract between Shun'er and the Zhang family at the Tommy banquet, he also wanted to bring the Zhang family along, but I didn't expect this Zhang family not only didn't know gratitude, but also dared to move such a rebellious mind to Shun'er, it was really an unforgivable sin, and the Zhang family had to pay the price."

After speaking, the Tartar prefect immediately instructed his subordinates standing aside: "You guys immediately check it, and all the cooperation projects related to the Zhang family in the government will be stopped."

At the same time, all the unpaid land and assets of the Zhang family were confiscated, and people were sent to ask them to hand over the Zhu family's real estate title deeds.

In the name of the Jiangnan City Government, a statement was issued to sever all contact with the Zhang family, and it was posted at the city gate, immediately calling on all merchants and families to stop all cooperation with the Zhang family. Families and chambers of commerce that have always maintained a cooperative relationship with the Zhang family will impose heavy taxes. ”

"The subordinates will do it immediately."

"This is a private matter between the Zhang family and the Gu family, and the Tartar prefect should not interfere, so as not to affect the reputation of the government.

In addition, this matter is just the calculation of the head of the Zhang family and his wife, is it too harsh for the children and subordinates of the Zhang family to do this. Chu Xiuru said softly and gently.

"Mrs. Gu is still kind-hearted. But the affairs of the Zhang family, I will take care of it today. Those who dare to attack Gu Shun must pay the price. ”
