There is only a population in the entire North County, and the tax revenue in a year is only how much.

And in less than a year, there was no way to breed the horses needed by 50,000 heavy cavalry.

The most important thing is that I don't have any money.

Although the little business in the Northern Palace, it was profitable, but no matter how you calculated it, it couldn't create the armor needed by 50,000 heavy cavalry.

Another thing is that North County doesn't have so many craftsmen either.

In the entire Great Xia, there is only one person who can create 50,000 heavy cavalry, and only he has such resources.

Who is that person?

You can guess it with your toes.

That man was inside the palace.

After Lu Shuyun came back to his senses, he felt very stupid.

He actually thought that the Northern King had suddenly awakened, and he was even so scared that he couldn't sleep for a while, and every time he thought of the bloodbath in his mansion some time ago, he was very panicked in his heart.

Thinking about it now, Lu Shuyun felt that he would be afraid of a mere North King, which was simply a shame.

At this time, Wang Yong next to Lu Shuyun said: "Your Highness, don't worry, in my opinion, Your Majesty doesn't have the idea of letting the Northern King be the crown prince at all, and the Northern King is just a chess piece in the eyes of Your Majesty." ”

"Everyone can see that Your Majesty is now in the prime of life, and there is no intention of establishing a prince, and now the North King has 50,000 heavy cavalry in his hands, and almost all the forces and factions in Great Xia are staring at the North King, if the North King is really so liked by His Majesty, His Majesty will not let the North King become the target of the public."

Hearing Wang Yong's words, the corners of Lu Shuyun's mouth rose slightly, he actually thought the same way, he didn't think that his father really liked his ninth brother so much.

If he really liked him, it would be impossible for him to let the North King come out when he was about to break out in conflict with the family.

The Northern King now has 50,000 heavy cavalry in his hands, and once his father makes a move against the family in Great Xia, these 50,000 heavy cavalry are likely to be a knife, and the situation of the Northern King will be quite dangerous at that time.

His father didn't plan to make a prince so early, how could he let the candidate for the crown prince in his mind be exposed so early, isn't this aimed at the king of the north.

As for whether his father is trying to hone the North King, it is even more impossible, at this time, how can his father choose the crown prince in his heart to be honed.

In today's undercurrent surging, if you are not careful, the king of the north will die.

Therefore, the king of the north can only be a chess piece.

And it's a chess piece used against the family.

The mother family of the Northern King is the Chu family, and pushing the Northern King out is likely to divide the Chu family, which is the first role played.

Secondly, the North King is a dispensable prince, and he will not be sad if the Xia Emperor dies, so he is perfect for being a chess piece.

At this time, Lu Shuyun sneered and said: "This king originally wanted to reconcile with him and conspire with him, but I didn't expect him to reject this king." ”

"It's ridiculous, I think that now I am being reused by my father, and the position of the crown prince is his, I really don't know what to do."

"Since he toasts and doesn't eat and drink, then don't blame this king for being unkind."

Wang Yong said: "Your Highness, in my opinion, now that all the princes are guarding against the North King, it is better for us to take this opportunity to join forces with other princes to get rid of the North King first." ”

Lu Shuyun said lightly: "There is no need, this king wanted to kill him at the beginning, so that the Chu family would completely fall to this king, and now the entire Jiangnan family supports this king, it doesn't matter whether the king of the north dies or not, anyway, he is just a chess piece that my father can discard." ”

Wang Yong said: "But the 50,000 heavy cavalry in Beijun has always been a huge threat to us, if we don't find a way to disintegrate these 50,000 heavy cavalry, I am afraid it will have a great impact on the great cause of His Highness." ”

"The most important thing is that I heard that there are already shadow guards going to North County, and the national teacher and shadow guards appeared in North County at the same time, I am afraid that Your Majesty has already controlled the evidence of our trade with the barbarians, it is estimated that it will not be long before Your Majesty will use the Wang family's collusion with the barbarians as an excuse to use the knife against us."

Hearing Wang Yong's words, Lu Shuyun fell silent.

Originally, he just wanted to fight for the throne by seizing the heir, and he had no intention of rebelling directly.

But his father has a great prejudice against the family, and he is obviously ready to use the knife against the family.

It stands to reason that he should keep a distance from the family at this time to avoid the family from affecting him.

But his mother is the daughter of the Wang family, and if the Wang family rebels, it is impossible that it will not affect him at all, and he will also lose the throne at that time.

And for him, the family is the biggest hole card in his hand, and for now, his interests have been tied to the family.

He had reached the point where he could not cut off from the family.

As long as his father uses a knife against the Jiangnan family, he will inevitably be affected, so in the end, he only has one last way left, which is to rebel.

But then again, if a son rebels against his father, he will eventually be spurned by the world.

Let's not talk about whether he can succeed or not, even if he succeeds, I am afraid that he will be scolded by the world for thousands of years.

Even if he managed Great Xia very well in the end, the rebellion would always be a stain on him.

If he could, Lu Shuyun still didn't want to rebel directly, but through pressure from all sides, his father had to give up the idea of using a knife against the family.

After being silent for a while, Lu Shuyun said: "If the 50,000 heavy cavalry of Beijun are dismantled, will my father and emperor give up attacking the family?" ”

Hearing this question, Wang Yong said: "Your Highness, there is indeed this possibility, Your Majesty has been planning to eradicate our thousand-year-old ancient families very early, but considering the power and influence of the family, at most he can only suppress the family in the court, and he has never dared to directly do anything to any of our ancient families." ”

"Even if His Majesty has withdrawn his military power, he still hasn't taken action against the family for a long time."

"But with the 50,000 heavy cavalry of Beijun, it is different, these 50,000 heavy cavalry completely belong to Your Majesty, and none of our families can interfere in the affairs of this heavy cavalry, not even a spy can be inserted, it can be said that this is Your Majesty's biggest hole card, and it is also Your Majesty's greatest confidence in the family."

"If there is no hole card, Your Majesty will have no confidence, if at this time our family unites other dynasties to put pressure on Your Majesty, Your Majesty will only have to compromise in the end."

Hearing Wang Yong's analysis, Lu Shuyun pondered for a moment, and then said: "Since this is the case, then we will unite with the other brothers of this king to find a way to disintegrate the 50,000 heavy cavalry in Beijun, and it is best to force my father to give up his original idea." ”

"Raising troops is always the best policy, and this king believes that those brothers of this king are now very jealous of the 50,000 heavy cavalry."

Wang Yong echoed and said, "What His Highness said is true. ”

Then they gathered together to discuss something about how to break up the 50,000 heavy cavalry of the North County.

Meanwhile.

Palace.

Imperial.

Xia Huang, dressed in a yellow dragon robe, stood by the lotus pond and watched the fish swim around in the lotus pond, while Situ Ce was in the pavilion on the edge of the lotus pond at this time.

Emperor Xia opened his mouth and asked, "You went to see Xiao Jiu this time, what do you think of Xiao Jiu?" ”

Situ Ce replied with one sentence: "There is the ambition of Taizu." ”

Hearing this, Emperor Xia's face instantly darkened, he naturally didn't want to hear Situ Ce praise Lu Chen, after all, Lu Chen was his least favorite child.

However, Emperor Xia didn't dig deeper, he laughed and said, "I didn't expect the national teacher to have such a high evaluation of Xiao Jiu. ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Xia continued to ask: "The national teacher has been in Beijun for so long, he should have also learned some things about Beijun, I have a few more confused places, and I want to ask the national teacher to solve my doubts." ”

Situ Ce said, "Your Majesty, please speak." ”

Emperor Xia asked directly: "According to the intelligence of all parties, I already have a general understanding of the battle in the Wanning River Valley, but I still don't understand, even with those 50,000 heavy cavalry, Xiao Jiu can't eat the 300,000 army of the barbarians so easily." ”

"And according to General Lin's battle report, Beijun only lost twenty or thirty thousand soldiers, and throughout the history of the major dynasties, it cannot reach such an exaggerated battle loss ratio, but the battlefield is indeed cleaned by the imperial army, and the number of corpses is also counted by the imperial army, and the authenticity is beyond doubt."

"I am very curious, what kind of army does Xiao Jiu have in his hands, so that he can defeat the 300,000 cavalry of the barbarians with a loss of 20,000 or 30,000 people, and it is still in the Wanning River Valley, which is difficult to pull and can only fight head-on."

"The national teacher has been in Beijun for so long, and he must have seen the cavalry in Xiao Jiu's hand, so he should know something about their situation."

Emperor Xia asked Situ Ce to go to Beijun, obviously it was not as simple as just to bring a sentence to Lu Chen and draw a cake for Lu Chen, he just asked Situ Ce to go to Beijun to see what kind of demons and monsters there were in Beijun, so that Beiwang could build 50,000 heavy cavalry in such a short time.

Moreover, Situ Ce is a great grandmaster, it is relatively easy for a great grandmaster to sneak into any place, even if someone finds Situ Ce, Situ Ce can easily leave.

After hearing Emperor Xia's words, Situ Ce smiled slightly, he naturally knew what Emperor Xia wanted to know, so he said directly: "Your Majesty, the old minister did see the heavy cavalry in the hands of the North King, and according to the old minister's observation, most of the soldiers of that heavy cavalry are above the fifth grade. ”

Hearing Situ Ce say this, Emperor Xia's brows suddenly wrinkled into the word "Sichuan", about 50,000 Wupin soldiers, where did his son get so many warriors.

Situ Ce continued: "Of course, the minister thinks that His Majesty doesn't care too much about this heavy cavalry now, and what Your Majesty really cares about should be the fact that there is a suspected great master in Beijun. ”

Indeed, what Emperor Xia really wants to know is whether there is a great grandmaster in Beijun, Lin Xiuming's memora mentions that there is suspected of a great grandmaster appearing on the battlefield, but Lin Xiuming can't confirm it.

If there really is a great grandmaster, then it is not very strange that this war has been won, but the great grandmaster is not a cabbage, how can there be a great grandmaster in Beijun?

This made Xia Huang unable to figure it out.

Moreover, Emperor Xia had already asked the shadow guard to investigate, and according to the information he obtained, Xuanyue Palace seemed to have only begun to contact his son, and did not provide any help to Beijun at all.

It can be said that Xuanyue Palace chose to invest in him because of the great potential of the North King, not because the Xuanyue Palace helped the North King, so the North King has the strength he has now.

Then the question comes, since it is not Xuanyue Palace that helps Lu Chen, what kind of force is secretly helping Lu Chen, so that Lu Chen has 50,000 heavy cavalry at once, and there are traces of suspected great masters in Beijun.

Emperor Xia asked at this time: "So does the national teacher think that there is really a great grandmaster in Beijun?" ”

Situ Ce replied, "The minister is not sure, but judging from the situation on the battlefield, it is indeed possible that a great grandmaster participated in the battle of the Wanning River Valley. ”

Hearing Situ Ce's answer, Emperor Xia fell into deep thought.

How does he feel that this waste son of his is becoming more and more mysterious now?

Could it be that he is really not his own child?

Thinking of this, Emperor Xia's face suddenly became very ugly.

When Lu Chen was born, he was doubting that Lu Chen was not his own child, after all, he had never had sex with Chu Yue soberly, and he was with Chu Yue in a daze every time, who knew if Chu Yue was pregnant with his own species.

If it weren't for the support of the Chu family, he would not have been able to marry Chu Yue, he had no feelings for Chu Yue at all.

And he could also feel that Chu Yue didn't want to serve him at all, the number of times they were together was very rare, and the possibility of Chu Yue being pregnant with his own child was also very low, which made Emperor Xia always feel that Chu Yue was having an affair with other men, and Lu Chen was also a man's child.

It's just that he hasn't been able to find evidence, and he has been haunted by this matter over the years, even after Chu Yue's death, he asked Ying Wei to continue to investigate the man who had a good relationship with Chu Yue, trying to find Lu Chen's biological father, but after so many years, there has been no result.

Fortunately, Lu Chen has always been a waste, and Emperor Xia simply divided him to Beijun, but he didn't expect Lu Chen to rise when he arrived in Beijun, and even grew up to the point where he could threaten the existence of Great Xia.

This further deepened the conjecture in Xia Huang's heart, Lu Chen may really not be his species, the reason why Lu Chen can rise so fast now, maybe it is Lu Chen's biological father who is helping Lu Chen, which makes Xia Huang's heart feel as uncomfortable as eating.

Even though Chu Yue was dead, he still felt very ashamed of it.

Thinking that he was forced to marry a woman he didn't like because of the reality back then, and even had to accept the children of other men in her belly, and finally this woman killed the woman he liked, all of which were connected in tandem, which made Emperor Xia very uncomfortable.

It's uncomfortable, but now is not the time to move the king of the north, he has been uncomfortable for so many years, and it will not be bad for the next few years.

After solving the family's problems first, he will deal with Lu Chen's affairs.

Now he also needs to use Lu Chen's 50,000 heavy cavalry to deter those families.

Since the explosion of 50,000 heavy cavalry in Beijun, almost all the families have thought that these 50,000 heavy cavalry belong to his Xia Emperor, and they have suddenly become extremely honest.

With the deterrence of these 50,000 heavy cavalry, when he cleaned up a certain family, if other families wanted to rebel, they had to weigh their strength.

That's a good thing for him.

As soon as he thought of this, Emperor Xia snorted, "I didn't expect that I would actually fall to the point of using the power in my son's hands to deter the family, and I am really enough to be the emperor." ”

Hearing that Emperor Xia suddenly stopped mentioning the matter of the Great Grandmaster, Situ Ce asked curiously, "Isn't Your Majesty curious about where the Great Grandmaster of Beijun came from?" ”

Emperor Xia said lightly: "The matter of Beijun will be put aside for the time being, and the shadow guard has collected enough evidence about the Wang family's collusion with the barbarians. ”

"I've been in the mood for so many years, it's time to put an end to this!"
