Chapter 36: Thunder Tactics (I)
In the spacious palace signing room on weekdays, it has been crowded at the moment, and hundreds of noble princes have carried embroidered stools around countless circles, according to the distance and proximity, the big guys are roasting the fire, while gossiping casually to pass the boring and sad snowy night. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Duke Qi, before the southern army's battle line is extended, we can let the doctors of the Medicine King Valley support the second line in the northwest first, and when we enter Cangshan and Erhai, we will ask for assistance from Duke Qi!"
Sitting with a few grand dukes and governors, the red stove had already reflected everyone's cheeks, at the request of the elders, Liu Chen once again said everything that happened in Youzhou from beginning to end, in general, the grand dukes were still very satisfied with the performance of the southern army.
"Your Highness, please rest assured!" The gentle and elegant Zhou Mu white lupine scarf, although it was described as tired, could not hide its superb demeanor, hearing Liu Chen's words, he smiled, and immediately raised his eyes and said: "As early as two years ago, the mountain lord had already given the old man a hint, for this protracted war, the Medicine King Valley should do their best!"
"The juniors are here, thank you for the generous help of Duke Qi for the soldiers on the front line!"
Straightening his waist, Liu Chen bowed his hand towards Zhou Mubai with a respectful face, as he grew older, the current King of Canglan already had a trace of the demeanor of the land.
"No, no, no!" This week, Mu Bai is a scholar, so there is naturally no need to say much about the etiquette, I have to admit that just by this stove, the prince of Qi Guo, who is surrounded by a heroic aura, really has a feeling of standing out from the crowd...... "During the period of chaos and national salvation, our holy heirs should be duty-bound!"
"Your Highness, your Grand Dukes, your colleagues!" After a long time, Song Zhong, the faint secretary of the military department in front of him, still couldn't help but interrupt everyone's happiness, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he attracted the attention of the princes of the four directions and the important ministers of the state by the fireplace: "Song Mou exchanged opinions with several other Shangshu, because of the turmoil in the two states, the money and grain in the treasury are no longer enough to support the imperial army to fight for a long time...... When necessary, I would like to ask you to mobilize the gentry and wealthy merchants of the state to make charitable donations...... I just need to get through the first few years!"
"Yes!" As soon as the words fell, it was Ji Wanzhu, the prince of Yueguo, who had been silent, who spoke first: "After the first emperor returns to the mausoleum, Yuezhou will be the first in the world, and in the name of the king of Canglan, he will donate a total of 30 million taels of silver to the various legions of the empire that are fighting on the front line!"
"Hiss......"
Ji Wanzhu's voice was not loud or small, and everyone in the corner of this small signing room could hear it, and in an instant, regardless of their status, everyone was grinning and dumbfounded...... To tell the truth, everyone knows that Yuezhou is rich, but I didn't expect it to be rich to this point!
Thirty million taels of silver, with the purchasing power of the Eastern Continent clans now, it is enough to support the Imperial Three-Way Expeditionary Force to fight with food and drink for five years! This is just Ji Wanzhu wants to buy a good reputation for Liu Chen......
Five years later, the treasury was restocking and officially reaching the wartime balance...... To put it bluntly, with a wave of his hand, Ji Wanzhu solved the worries of sleepless nights for many days in the various ministries! Even the fundraising activity that was just proposed could be suppressed indefinitely......
"Whew!" After a pause, Song Zhong stood up excitedly, and bowed to Ji Wanzhu without hesitation: "Yue Gong's high righteousness is really the world's Meng taste!"
The Ji clan of the human race, the richest man in the Eastern Continent, is rich enough to rival the country...... In this situation, how many nobles and nobles who are the same age as Liu Chen are extremely envious in their hearts that King Canglan can have such a rich mother-in-law......
......
"King!" Just when everyone couldn't hide the shock in their hearts, a little yellow door ran into the signing room with an anxious bow, and with small broken steps, the young little yellow door had a white face, and trembling covered his hands and whispered in Liu Chen's ear: "Kunning Palace...... Something went wrong......"
To tell the truth, Xiao Huangmen's voice was as weak as a mosquito buzzing, but who was there? The moment Liu Chen frowned, the princes and nobles beside the stove lowered their heads in unison, and after exchanging glances, they silenced the fire as if nothing happened...... Kunning Palace is the head of the harem, which involves the emperor's family affairs...... Silence is the right way to respond.
"Uncles, please sit down, the little nephew will take a step back first......" After a long time of uncertainty on his face, Liu Chen took a deep breath, and glanced at Ji Wanzhu not to worry, he slowly got up and nodded at the little yellow door who was already frightened, and the two of them quietly withdrew from the signing room......
In the long and winding deep palace gallery, Liu Chen learned all the beginnings and ends of the Kunning Palace incident in the intermittent narration of the little yellow door......
It stands to reason that Gongsun Wu, the son of Concubine Qian, who was most favored by the emperor, is the first heir to the imperial throne.
Even if Gongsun You was already the regent at that time, the naïve Concubine Hui didn't think that a single woman could affect her son's status, where did she think that when ******** read out the edict of the Emperor of the Apocalypse in front of hundreds of concubines in the Kunning Palace...... Haha, the first female emperor in the history of the human race was born, such news, like the annihilating blow of a legendary master, can make the funeral of the former emperor in Kunning Palace into an absurd farce.
Some people say that Gongsun secretly bought off the palace people and changed the edict of the Emperor of the Apocalypse without authorization......
No matter what it is, their opinions are surprisingly unanimous under the difficulty of reconciling them, anyway, they don't recognize the edict of establishing Gongsun You as the emperor, after all, the Emperor of the Apocalypse is dead, there is no way to prove it, under the excitement of the crowd, no matter how you look at it, Gongsun You is a little dangerous......
"What is the origin of this Concubine Hui?" When Xiao Huangmen calmed down the panic in his heart a little, Liu Chen smiled and asked softly, "Over there in the Zongren Mansion, don't you say a fair word?"
"Back to the king's words!" Tightening the lantern in his hand, Xiao Huangmen bowed to Liu Chen, and slowly replied: "Concubine Hui's biological father is Fufeng County Bo, the secretary of the Qian family for generations, and he is a Confucian family in Zhongzhou...... Several old princes of the Zongren Mansion are also in the Kunning Palace now, and they ...... about the authenticity of the Emperor's decree They are silent......"
"What is the relationship between Qian Yong and Concubine Hui of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies?"
"General Staff Qian is Concubine Hui's brother-in-law......"
"Tonight, which guard is patrolling the Forbidden City?"
"It's the shooting guard where General Staff Qian is!"
"Well, I know!" With a sneer in his heart, Liu Chen took out a projectile from his arms, and poured a breath into it, and the fluorescence on the projectile flashed and fell on Xiao Huangmen's palm, "Go to Kunning Palace by yourself, you go to the Xuanwumen camp now, and hand over this projectile to the Black Eagle, the Hidden Martial Guard......"
"Yes, King!"
Stopping and waiting for the little yellow door to disappear in the snow, Liu Chen's face was suddenly so cold that it was about to drip at any time, the change of imperial power in the past ten thousand years, it is not uncommon for the Emperor of the Apocalypse to force the palace to seize the throne like this, so the Emperor of the Apocalypse will say to Liu Chen before he dies that until he really sits on the throne of the Ganlu Palace, no prince will dare to relax a bit! )
