Zheng Guo, the national capital Xianyang City, Zuo Xiangfang Xiaoning is reading in the study.

"Report! Lord Zuo Xiang, please take a look at the emergency rush at the border pass for 800 miles. A summoner and knelt on one knee outside the study with the letter in his hands.

Fang Xiaoning took the letter and looked at it, his face suddenly changed greatly, "Housekeeper, go to the sedan chair, I want to enter the palace to meet the emperor, and I will send someone to notify the right minister to enter the palace to discuss the emergency military." ”

Guo Renhe, the lord of Zheng Guo, looked at Fang Xiaoning, the left minister, and Li Kuishou, the right minister, and wondered: "Left minister, I don't know why I entered the palace overnight?"

Fang Xiaoning took out the border pass and hurriedly said: "Our army resisted the attack of the million-strong army of Qi in Liangcheng, Zhuzhou City, Ba County, and FY County, and just yesterday morning, the army of Qi attacked our five cities, who knew that it was a fake siege city, and secretly divided hundreds of cavalry to bypass the border defense, forming a force of 300,000 iron cavalry to go straight to the imperial city. ”

Emperor Guo Renhe slapped the table and said angrily: "Are those generals of the border army all waste!"

300,000, that's a full 300,000 enemy troops, just like that, they broke through the defense line and went straight to the imperial city.

It is conceivable how the emperor is not angry, if the border army generals are around, they have to be dragged out and killed.

After putting away his emotions, Guo Renhe said: "The two prime ministers, you quickly organize an army to stop the 300,000 cavalry." ”

Li Kui, the right prime minister, said with a look of embarrassment: "Your Majesty, there is no army in our country, half a month ago, there were 100,000 guards in the imperial city, and 70,000 were sent to support the front line. ”

Guo Renhe said anxiously: "This, how is this good?" Then he glanced at Zuo Xiang and said, "I don't know how long it will take for the enemy army to arrive in the imperial city?"

"Back to the emperor, the enemy army will arrive in the imperial city in five days at the earliest, and seven days at the latest. Fang Xiaoning pondered for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, there is one more urgent thing now than the arrival of these 300,000 troops in the imperial city. ”

Guo Renhe was a little puzzled: "Prime Minister Zuo, what is more urgent than the enemy army is about to arrive in the imperial city?"

Fang Xiaoning said: "In recent years, the war in our country is unfavorable, many people have been displaced, just in the past few days, there are more than 100,000 refugees who have entered the imperial city, and the minister found some problems a few days ago, and he has never understood why there are so many displaced people, just now the minister suddenly understood. ”

Before Emperor Guo Renhe could ask a question, Li Kuishou, the right minister, suddenly said: "It's not good! There are people from Qi among the refugees, and if there are more than 100,000 refugees in the guise of Qi soldiers, if they disturb the city gate, it will cause a lot of losses, and if 10,000 Qi soldiers disguise themselves as refugees to launch a riot, the imperial city will inevitably be lost." ”

Right Prime Minister Li Kuishou immediately proposed to send troops to kill all the refugees in order to prevent future troubles.

Zuo Xiang thinks that it is not possible, most of these more than 100,000 people are from their own country, and they cannot be killed at will, if the generals and soldiers in the front know about it, they will inevitably mutiny, because no one dares to guarantee that there are no family and friends among these refugees, and they should find out the soldiers of Qi from among the refugees and kill them.

The quarrel between the left and right ministers gave Emperor Guo Renhe a headache, but he felt that what the two prime ministers said was reasonable.

Asked if the two prime ministers had a way to distinguish between the soldiers of Qi and the refugees of their own country, the two prime ministers were silent.

After a while, Emperor Guo Renhe asked the eunuch to inform the civil and military officials above the fourth rank of the imperial city to quickly enter the palace to discuss important matters.

In less than half an hour, all the officials above the fourth rank in the Imperial City of Zheng Guo were concentrated in the Jinluan Palace.

Emperor Guo Renhe sat above, the left minister led the military generals to stand on the left side, and the right minister led the Wenchen to stand on the right side.

Zuo Xiangfang Xiaoning did not say anything about the 300,000 cavalry, but told the fact that there were Qi State spies among the displaced people, so that everyone could find a way to catch the people of Qi State.

The result of the discussion was exactly the same as that of the left and right phases, with some people supporting the right phase and some people supporting the left phase.

Zuo Xiangfang Xiaoning suddenly remembered a person at this time, "Your Majesty, the minister knows one person, and there may be a way to resolve this problem." ”

When Emperor Guo Renhe heard that someone could solve it, he hurriedly said, "Who?"

Fang Xiaoning took a step forward, bowed down and said, "This person is Viscount Chu Nan Chu God of Wealth." ”

"It's him!" Of course, Chu Nan, the emperor, knew that he had personally canonized the position of baron.

Chu Nan is known as the God of Chu Wealth in Zheng State.

Zheng Guo's army had no money and couldn't pay food, so he went to the virgin to raise funds.

The army ran out of food and grass to fight, so they asked Chu Nan to raise funds.

The soldier was injured and had no medicinal materials, so he asked Chu Nan to raise funds.

The displaced people had no food, and Chu Nan provided food relief.

The soldiers who were far away on the front line, as well as ordinary people, there was no one in Zheng Guo who didn't know Chu Nan.

The last businessman came to interfere in internal affairs, many officials tried their best to resist the left minister Fang Xiaoning, no matter who this person was, they could not take their place, what did the official do, the official was the person who made the emperor's ideas.

The right prime minister, Li Kui, led the civil officials to denounce the left minister.

The generals wanted to help Zuo Xiang speak, but found that helping Zuo Xiang proved that they were not even as good as a businessman, so they did not support it.

Emperor Guo Renhe had a good relationship with Chu Nan in private, and he also agreed to let Chu Nan come over to see if he paid attention to distinguishing between refugees and people from Qi State.

Guo Renhe immediately became furious, and scolded the ministers for a while, and he couldn't even think of a way, so he asked the eunuch to pass it to Baron Xuan Chu Nan.

。。。

A moment later.

Chu Nan entered the Jinluan Hall with a sigh of anger, looked at the emperor above, and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and did not kneel down to salute, but bowed down, expressed respect, and said lazily: "Minister, I have seen the emperor, I don't know what to do with looking for ministers in the middle of the night." ”

Chu Nan's appearance, except for the emperor and Zuo Xiang, everyone else frowned.

Such a person is also worthy of being called a minister, if it weren't for his money, how could he be qualified to be a baron.

The emperor immediately told the fact that there were Qi soldiers hidden among more than 100,000 displaced people, and also said the opinions and methods of the left and right phases.

Chu Nan said indifferently: "I thought there were many things, just this little thing, it is not easy to solve, as long as the emperor promises me two things." ”

Guo Renhe was immediately overjoyed, "As long as you can find out those Qi people who are mixed in it, don't say two things, it's a hundred things, and I will promise you." ”

Chu Nan stretched out a finger, "First, give me the right to mobilize everyone in the imperial city, whether it is the army or civil and military officials." He stretched out a second finger and said: "For those who disobey the order, I want to have the right to cut first and then play, even if I kill the wrong person, I am not allowed to settle accounts after the autumn." ”

Li Kui snorted coldly: "Bold! The emperor gave you the opportunity to say a way to solve the problem, that is the honor of your ancestors, you still want the right to cut first and then play, and you also want to mobilize everyone's rights." ”

"That's it!"

"Yes, yes. ”

"Your Majesty, don't do it! This Chu Nanzhi is a businessman, where will there be a way. ”

"Your Majesty, this Chu Nan may be a spy sent into my Zheng State by the Qi State in the early years, if this is given to him, he will not be far from destroying the country. ”

"Snap" slapped the dragon table, Emperor Guo Renhe stood up and said angrily: "You group of waste, when are you still noisy." ”

As soon as the emperor got angry, everyone, shut up.

Guo Renhe took the Son of Heaven Sword on the table and came to Chu Nan and said, "The Son of Heaven Sword is for you, and those who don't listen to orders can be cut first and then played." He took out a piece of jade pendant from his waist and said: "This is a tiger talisman, which can dispatch all the troops in the imperial city." ”

Li Kui, the right prime minister, saw Chu Nan and said with the sword and tiger talisman of the Son of Heaven: "I don't know Baron Chu, when you can catch the people of Qi State, there must be a time! “

"Hahaha, why do you need three days, you can catch the people of Qi before noon the day after tomorrow. ”

"Okay! This is what you said, you know, if you can't catch the people of the country in three days, it is the crime of bullying the king, and then you will have to move your head. "The right minister is very proud.

"Okay, I won't be able to catch the people of Qi before noon the day after tomorrow, so I'll hand over my head to you. "You old and immortal Li Kuishou, always against Lao Tzu, you are good-looking.

Chu Nan took the sword of the Son of Heaven and looked at the group on the right: "You stand in a row." ”

No one paid attention to Chu Nan.

"Your Majesty, this Tianzi sword doesn't work, you see that they don't listen to the right minister at all, how can I distinguish between the exiles and the people of Qi. ”

Guo Renhe's eyes glared at each other and said, "Don't do it yet." ”

The right minister reluctantly came out first, and many civil officials followed.

Chu Nan issued another order: "Form a circle." ”

The right minister led the officials to besiege the city in a circle, and some officials felt that this was humiliation, a great shame, if the eyes could kill people, Chu Nan would be on death row and executed.

Chu Nan looked at an official with a very bad expression on his face, "You, say you, you stand behind the right prime minister." ”

The official reluctantly stood behind the right prime minister.

Chu Nan said: "Stretch out your right hand, grab the ear of the person in front of you, give me a hard pull, and sore the person in front of you."

This can stab the hornet's nest, many officials quit, and knelt on the ground one after another, asking the emperor to punish Chu Nan, saying that he was an imperial spy.

Others don't know Chu Nan's background, Emperor Guo Renhe is until, Chu Nan can be regarded as half of his teacher, if there is no Chu Nan, he may not be the current emperor of Zheng Guo.

Guo Renhe said: "Do it." ”

The first thing to do was Li Kuishou, the right minister, he was the first to pull the ears of the person in front of him, there was the prime minister at the beginning, and the other officials also started, but the official standing behind the prime minister didn't dare to start.

"You. Say you, and pull his ears with both hands. ”

The official behind the prime minister looked at the emperor and pulled the prime minister's ears helplessly.

Chu Nan's little game ended in a while, and when he left, the right prime minister asked him why he did this, and Chu Nan replied: "It's not good to try the Son of Heaven Sword," the angry right prime minister gritted his teeth.

Zuo Xiang asked Chu Nan if there was any way to catch the people of Qi State, but Chu Nan did not say.

Zuo Xiang asked Chu Nan what he was going to do now, and Chu Nan replied to sleep.

This sentence not only stunned Zuo Xiang, but also a group of generals who accompanied Zuo Xiang.

Chu Nan hurried all the way, returned to Chu Mansion, took a hot bath, and fell asleep.

Since Chu Nan separated from Xue Zhigui, he began to travel all over the world, and after coming to Zheng Guo, he wanted to live a luxurious life, began to do business, and with his means, he soon became the richest man in Zheng State, spending 10,000 catties a day and ten carriages to open the road. More than 200 maids are casual, and 500 families are guarded and protected, and they are more than the emperor when they go out.

How did he come to be extravagant, Chu Nan also offended a large number of officials and businessmen because of his business, and the one who offended him the most was Li Kui, the right minister of the court.

Chu Nan is now in a hurry, returned to Chu Mansion, took a bath, and went to sleep in the quilt.

What kind of outcasts, spies of the Qi country, let's wake up tomorrow!
