"Please also ask the Captain to speak for me."

Wang Kuang perked up and asked.

Gu Qinggang got up from his seat and said with a wat arch:

"Your Majesty, Qiyang Mansion of Chu State is located in a remote area, with many mountains, and the terrain is three points worse than that of southern Xinjiang. Among them, the Taihe Ridge is the most precipitous, and there are many barbarians living on it. During the reign of Chu, in order to accumulate wealth and dominate the world, Chu Taizu imposed heavy taxes on Qiyang Mansion and its surrounding prefectures. The people could not afford to pay their taxes, so they had to abandon their family property and flee into the mountains and forests, where they lived with the barbarians of the mountains. ”

"They cultivated land in the flat areas of the mountains, planted grains, and were self-sufficient, and because of the abundant copper and iron in the Taihe Mountains, they often forged their own armor in order to resist the encirclement and suppression of the imperial court. Over time, relying on mountain insurance, a small group of at least 1,000 people was formed, which is the origin of Shanyue. ”

When Wang Kuang finished digesting his words, Gu Qinggang continued:

"Your Majesty, there is no incompatibility between Shanyue and Chu. The emperors of the Chu State all wanted to eliminate these Shanyue commanders who were standing in the mountains, first, most of the Shanyue people were brave and good at fighting, which could be used as a good source of soldiers, and second, they were turned into households and collected taxes. It's just because of the low combat strength of the Chu army that it often can't succeed. ”

"The state of Chu is located in the south of the Yangtze River, humid and rainy, and every summer, there will be floods. The minister's intention was to ask His Majesty to send someone to secretly contact the Shanyue clan, and when the summer floods came, while the monarchs and ministers of Chu were focusing most of their attention on disaster relief, they instigated Shanyue to go down the mountain and plunder. The court of Chu must be unprepared for this, and there is a chance that it will succeed. ”

Wang Kuang couldn't help but nod again and again.

"Captain, this plan is a brilliant plan! What about Haikou? ”

"For Haikou, I am no stranger to His Majesty. The coastal provinces of our country were often plundered by pirates, and the Shangtai Prefecture was the most serious. There are several bandits in the East China Sea, and they are invincible, and the two largest forces are the Huangmei Kou based on Fanwan Island and the Fang family thieves entrenched in the southern islands. ”

Hearing the three words Huang Meikou, Wang Kuang's face showed a trace of unnaturalness.

Because this Huangmei Kou was made by their Qi country.

Huangmeikou was originally a Taoist force in the Qi State, but because he was persecuted by Buddhism, Ren Qingbiao, the real person of Huangmei at that time, had to lead the sect members into exile. After that, in order to take revenge on the Qi State, this Huang Zhenren began to attack the coastal areas of the Qi State again and again, turning the coastal areas upside down, and even hit a place less than two hundred miles away from the eastern capital after landing.

Wherever Huang Meikou went, he burned, killed and looted a large number of people, and successively captured more than 100,000 people, and escorted them to Fanwan Island to serve as his own forces against the Qi State.

Although the original Huangmei Zhenren Ren Qingbiao has been dead for many years, his successor is as always looking for trouble with the Qi State.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the progress of the water division of Qi was forced out by Huang Meikou.

As for the Fang family thief, it was the trouble caused by the Chu State.

During the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Chu State, natural disasters continued, and the coastal provinces were even more severely affected.

During this period, a wealthy businessman named Fang Boren was falsely accused by the enemy, saying that he had fornicated with Haikou and bribed the government, and was ready to execute Fang Fu Renming as an example.

In a fit of rage, Fang Furen escaped from prison, and after stabbing the enemy, he and his brother died at sea, and in a few decades, it developed into a Haikou group with thousands of people.

However, Fang Furen knew the benefits of the sailors of the Chu State, and unless he had to do so, he would never trouble the Chu State, but only plundered ships and levy tolls along the southeast coast.

The court of Chu also sent troops to encircle and suppress it several times, but it spent a lot of money and food at sea, and in the end it was impossible to find the lair of the Fang family thief, so he had no choice but to turn a blind eye.

As long as the Fang family thief didn't go too far, he would ignore it.

"Your Majesty, this Shanyue and Haikou, only with a two-pronged approach can it be possible to inflict a heavy blow on the Chu State." Gu Qinggang explained his strategy to Wang Kuang, "Only when Shanyue makes the first move and attracts the elite troops of the Chu State to the mountainous areas, those Haikou who are unprofitable and can't afford to do it early will think that the time is ripe and decide to make a move." However, the two forces need to cooperate and coordinate, and it is not easy for our Qi country to come forward, so as not to be criticized in the future. ”

If it is rumored that the Great Qi is colluding with the Haikou barbarians, then the face of the monarchs and ministers of the Qi State will be lost.

So, this white glove is still needed.

After listening to Gu Qinggang's strategy, Wang Kuangxi smiled, nodded again and again:

"The captain's concerns are not unreasonable. Anyway, I will follow what the captain said. The money and food spent this time will come from my inner treasury. However, the person who came forward for the imperial court was the top priority, and it still needed to be discussed by the secretaries, and finally there were people who did not have much to do with the imperial court. ”

"The ministers obey."

Gu Qinggang and the others said in unison.

Not long ago, the naval division of the Qi State was defeated on the Canglong River, which made the monarchs and ministers of the Qi State feel disgraced.

Now they are very willing to use Shanyue and Haikou, two forces that can't get on the table, to secretly disturb the situation in Chu and drag the monarchs and ministers of Chu State.

To dominate the world, it is necessary to do everything, whether it is a conspiracy or a conspiracy, which one is easy to use.

Regarding the plans of the monarchs and ministers of the Qi State, Zhao Yu, as the emperor of the Chu State, did not know at this time.

He was in the Funing Palace, looking at the newly drawn card in a daze.

[(White) Tseka: Peach Plum]

[Card description: He Bi Xuan, Hua is like a peach and plum. If you are cloudy, how can it be beautiful. The peach is dying, scorching its glory. IKEA room, repair and Luan has been. 】

[Card Effect: (Permanently) Slightly increases the probability of officials/concubines from "relatives" and "clans" recommending famous ministers and concubines. Each time you get a famous concubine, if the famous concubine is born in a "family", "scholar family", or "royal family", you can get the charm of the famous concubine*2W two silver; If it is anything else, you will get a random star treasure. Negative: The influence of the person who recommends the famous concubine will increase by 100 points, and the probability of the famous concubine being happy will be reduced by 10%. 】

Looking at the introduction on the face of Xiao Taojiao Li Ka, Zhao Yu was a little stunned.

Is this to encourage yourself to open a harem and eat soft rice?

However, he was preparing to make Da Chu great again, and he didn't have much time and energy to take a concubine.

What's more, a few months ago, he just ordered the draft and included the Zhou family sisters in the palace, if this is for a little silver taels, and he announced that he was going to draft a concubine again, wouldn't he be sprayed by the imperial historians represented by Yu Fu?

Thinking about the growing combat effectiveness of these imperial histories, Zhao Yu was a little worried.

In my previous life, there was a famous saying on the Internet that the boomerang that I threw out would one day hit myself.

This sentence is similar to Zhao Yu today.

After grasping the power of the court, in order to put a sword hanging in the hearts of hundreds of officials, and in order to repay the support of Chu Ziwen, the imperial historian at the beginning, Zhao Yu deliberately promoted the status of the Supervision Yuan, encouraged the officials to speak out, and made it clear that "not to be punished for words".

With the support of imperial power, the crows of the Supervision Yuan are even more bold.

Even on a whim, even Zhao Yu, the son of heaven, dared to spray a few words.

Who told His Majesty to say that he would not be guilty of his words?

The Son of Heaven said that horses are difficult to chase, and Your Majesty must not go back on his word.

Among them, especially Yu translated.

Although Zhao Yu was tired of these crows' repeated outspokenness, he finally endured it for the sake of the political ecology of the Chu State.

With people as a mirror, you can see the gains and losses.

At least these crows are not spraying indiscriminately, they are still sprayed to the point, and they are sprayed to the point.

Putting away the thought of drafting the concubine again, Zhao Yu suddenly thought of a certain princess who was kissed by Qi for some reason.

Could it be that the effect of this [Peach Plum] should not be applied to the other party?

That's fine, anyway, this money was sent by the Son of Qi State, and he, the emperor of Chu State, didn't feel distressed at all when he spent it!

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

At this moment, an attendant broke into the Funing Hall in a panic.

Seeing this, Gao Lishi reprimanded in a low voice: "In front of Your Majesty, you are a little yellow door, and you are so rude!" Could it be that you want to go to the Criminal Division? ”

The Department of Punishment is the institution that punishes eunuchs in the palace.

"Your Majesty forgives your sins!"

The panting little yellow door realized how much of a mistake he had made, and his face turned pale in an instant, and he knelt on the ground with a "plop" and kowtowed to Zhao Yu repeatedly.

"Get up, look at you like this, it seems that there is something urgent to report. I forgive you for your innocence, but you must be punished by a month's penalty. ”

Zhao Yu motioned for the other party to get up.

Hearing Zhao Yu raise it high like this and put it down gently, the little yellow door suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and after kowtowing to Zhao Yu three times in a row, he whispered from the ground and said:

"The slave and maid have thanked Your Majesty."

He said as he took out a secret letter from his bosom.

"Your Majesty, this is the Falcon Transmission that I received a quarter of an hour ago, because the letter is marked with a black mark, Cao Du does not dare to slack off, and let the slave maid be sent to Your Majesty immediately."

Falcon Transmission refers to the use of the Wind Breaker Falcon to deliver letters.

In non-war times, the Falcon Biography indicates that the situation is extremely urgent.

At the same time, Zhao Yu divided the degree of urgency into four levels: black, red, orange, and blue, and marked them with different colors to show the difference, among which black represented that the situation had reached the most serious level and needed to be dealt with immediately by the Son of Heaven and the imperial court.

The black and red levels can be directly sent to Zhao Yu without the hands of the imperial court.

Black level, what's wrong?

Zhao Yu's heart couldn't help but tighten.

This was the first time he had seen a black-graded secret letter since the grading system was implemented.

After stabilizing his mind, Zhao Yu opened the secret letter with a solemn face, and after a quick glance, his complexion instantly became difficult to see.

This natural disaster has finally come......

Zhao Yu sighed lightly in his heart, and instructed Gao Lishi on the side:

"The letter came up to report that there were droughts in Qingtan, Ningyuan, Huangzhou, Nantong, Qiyang, and Zhenjiang, and there was a tendency to expand and spread. Mr. Han's prophecy came true. Without further ado, immediately send someone to summon the king's privy envoy and the chief officials of various ministries into the palace to discuss the countermeasures. I am waiting for them in the Purple Circle. 1”

When Colliers heard that the drought had occurred, his face couldn't help but change.

Although he was a eunuch, he also knew government affairs and understood that the drought at this time would undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the court and the people of Chu State.

"Slave and maid, go now!"

After that, he saluted Zhao Yu, hurriedly left Funing Palace, and sent someone to inform the ministers of the congregation.

Zhao Yu glanced at Xiao Huangmen, who came to report the news, and said lightly:

"Go back and tell your family Lord Cao, and let him go to the Zihuan Hall to guard with Yuhuatian."

"Slave obeys!"

Xiao Huangmen looked happy, and after kowtowing to Zhao Yu, he turned around and went out like a gust of wind.

The Lord Cao in Zhao Yu's mouth is Cao Zhengchun, who was promoted by Zhao Yu along with Yuhuatian.

…………

Zhao Yu didn't wait too long in the Zihuan Palace, Wang Pu, Chu Ziwen and other important ministers hurried to the Zihuan Palace.

"Your Majesty!"

"Excuse me."

Zhao Yu bowed slightly, saw the ministers sitting down, and said:

"I urgently summoned you to the palace at this time because of the great drought in the Qiyang Prefecture. I need to consult with you and come up with a plan as soon as possible. ”

As he spoke, Zhao Yu handed the opened secret letter to Gao Lishi, who was standing aside.

"Let everyone take a look."

After Wang Pu and the others browsed one by one, their faces became more serious than the other.

Zhou Rui took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, in the summer and autumn of last year, only the two prefectures of Huangzhou Mansion and Lingchuan Mansion suffered from drought, but this year it is the Six Mansions, which is really a bit of a big pressure on the imperial court. ”

He is the secretary of the household department, and he is in charge of the money bags of the imperial court.

Now the court has to use money in all aspects, and this drought has come again, which really makes him a little anxious.

Zhao Yu shook his head and said:

"Zhou Qing, there are indeed difficulties, but it is impossible for the affected people in these six prefectures to turn a blind eye. If so, what kind of face do I have to be this monarch? I understand the difficulties of the household, but if there are difficulties, we must go up, and if there are no difficulties, otherwise, what is the use of waiting for me? ”

This is the first time Zhao Yu has been so angry with Zhou Rui. (End of chapter)
