Chapter 733

Thousands of miles away, the end of the vast Gobi has changed its face and become the North County under the jurisdiction of the Western Chu state.

Because the war was effectively controlled and there were no evil acts such as burning, killing and looting, Beijun basically did not receive damage. Except for a few forces trying to resist, they basically remained the same. Every city is still prosperous, engraved with the charm of the years, and countless foreign caravans have been added, making Beijun more rich and lively.

In order to prevent the resurgence of the forces of the former dynasty, Nangong Qing, the emperor of the Western Chu Dynasty, completely and strictly controlled the troops in the cities of the North County, in addition to the necessary City patrol defense, government yamen military service and so on, so as to prevent chaos and trouble. Under the command of the governor of Beijun County, there are 100000 troops, all of whom have served in the Western Chu for more than three years. They are loyal and ready to suppress at any time.

The capital, once the capital of North Vietnam, has been renamed Lingxi. Because it was temporarily established, it is urgent to exercise power. Instead of building the city master's house, it directly removed the taboo representing the emperor's power from the original imperial palace and temporarily used for office.

Guan Hou had a strange feeling on the first day he transferred from the Western Chu Dynasty.

Such majestic temples, gorgeous buildings and countless palaces, is this his jurisdiction? The governor of Western Chu takes the exam every three years. He is raised or demoted according to his political achievements, but if he is operated properly, he will sit in place for decades.

How good would it be if he would always be the Sheriff of North County?

There are millions of people in Beijun, almost 80% of the total population of Western Chu. So many people, including farmers, merchants, squires, rich families, scholars and even declining nobles... Now they are all his people!

Guan Hou takes it for granted that he is the parent official of Beijun, and the people of Beijun are naturally his children.

With such thoughts, his thoughts began to change day by day. When he woke up from a midnight nightmare and dreamed that he was demoted by the emperor of Western Chu and left Beijun, his mind changed completely. Before and after, only a month.

How can you give up your glory and power?

Now, isn't he the same as his majesty, the disguised northern princess? It's just a lack of a name.

On a rainy night, he gathered several of his most trusted confidants to plot. His impassioned words and commitments unexpectedly moved several hearts who were ready to move. In the following month, Guan Hou eradicated dissidents and bribed collaborators. Under the threat of huge interest offensive and troops, he completely took control of Beijun.

Want to get North County completely and become a generation. The founding emperor, Guan Hou, had a lot to do.

But the most important thing is to find a partner in the capital of Western Chu. It is not easy to find such a candidate who should not only make him honest afterwards, but also can not arouse the ideas of others.

The first person Guan Hou thought of was Nangong Yu.

The second prince of Western Chu had a good reputation. He was always trusted by the emperor of Western Chu and had a good business mind. He earned 80% of the internal treasury of the whole royal family. If such a person cooperates with him, will he not only be able to find out the secrets of the Western Chu and make him ready at any time, but also give him the best name afterwards and become the legitimate founder of the country!

Unfortunately, someone soon gave up the idea of governing Hou.

Nangong Yu was good, but he never rebelled and was loyal to the emperor of Western Chu. If we want him to take part in this kind of rebellion, let alone success, I'm afraid he will report it as soon as it is revealed.

Nangong Waner was the second candidate recommended by her confidants.

"Sir, this is a secret letter just delivered from the capital." In the city Lord's house, he Hai, a confidant official, held a box in his hand and sent it respectfully.

The secret letter was so big that Guan Hou frowned and opened it. There was a picture inside.

Actually

Guan Hou picked up the scroll and unfolded it. He saw that there was a living beauty in the picture. When he was young, Emei was light, dignified and beautiful. He lay lazily on the imperial concubine's couch, revealing half of his snow-white jade feet, which was very tempting.

A lust Read spontaneously, Guan Hou laughed: "wonderful, really wonderful!"

Unexpectedly, Nangong Waner sent him a portrait of herself, and she was so charming and seductive. Isn't that a hint to him? The only time, he secretly returned to the capital of Western Chu and met Nangong Waner in person at the princess's house, just before the news of marriage.

That night, he left the princess's boudoir for an hour, and the best partner had been determined.

If he succeeds in winning Beijun, he will take charge of the Marquis as the emperor and Nangong Waner as the empress, so as to share the prosperity and supreme honor. He was in charge of recruiting troops and horses in Beijun and started an affair secretly, while Nangong Waner paid attention to the trend in the capital of Western Chu, muddy the pool water, and bite all the charges on Nalan, king of Chu at night.

If you don't eradicate Nalan night, Guan Hou is absolutely not confident of success.

Nalan night's reputation has awed the world. Not to mention his little sheriff, even the powerful Dongwan dare not compete. Therefore, Guan Hou and Nangong Waner decided to create a discord between Nalan night and the Western Chu emperor, secretly adding fuel to the flames, confiscate his military power, and make the situation in the Western Chu as chaotic as possible.

Then he can take advantage of the chaos and seize the North County.

At that time, he will not only sit on the mountains and rivers, but also Nangong Waner, the real Royal Princess, which is the real goal of his management.

Holding the portrait, Guan Hou was eager to see it. He wanted Nangong Waner to be right in front of him in order to have a good kiss. After a cup of tea, he put the painting away and asked his confidant about the recent trend in the city.

"Since adults lowered the business tax, there have been many more businessmen in various cities, which seems to be more prosperous than the former North Vietnam." He Hai lowered his voice and said, "therefore, all kinds of materials needed by adults have been brought in by the caravan. Absolutely people don't know it."

"Well, that's good. There are too many things you need. You must keep them strictly confidential."

Guan Hou nodded and said carelessly, "what about the disposal of those intercepted things?"

He Hailian hurriedly said: "Sir, the first batch was handled ten days ago and raised 1.3 million liang of military pay. The second batch was just handled yesterday. At present, a total of 3.1 million Liang has been collected. It should be almost three or five times..."

"What?" Guan Hou's face sank. He didn't expect this batch of treasures to be processed so slowly.

"Yes, sir, these treasures left by the former dynasty are all royal treasures with great value. My subordinates know that if you didn't need to raise military pay, you wouldn't sell them at such a low price. Although the squires, rich families, dignitaries and nobles in various cities have bought a lot, after all, the price is high and can't be disposed of for a while and a half. It's estimated that those who obey you can't squeeze out oil and water, and that's it There are still eight million of these treasures left... "

"There are so many?"

Guan Hou frowned and was upset about too many treasures for the first time.

Now that we are ready to rebel and stand on our own feet, we must first raise enough military salaries and armaments without moving food and grass. When the emperor of Western Chu ordered all the Royal treasures left over from the previous dynasty to be escorted to Beijing, he came up with the idea of these treasures.

It's clearly his stuff. How can it be given to the Western Chu royal family for nothing?

It is planned to use these ownerless things to plot major events. It is preliminarily estimated that the military pay will be at least 3 million Liang in advance. If the war lasts a long time, more will be needed. As for the money needed to buy food, grass and armaments, the plan is no less than five million. If accidents and damage are included, at least one million more will be needed.

It is preliminarily estimated that if you want to become an emperor, you need to prepare at least 10 million yuan. After all, this is not to kill the emperor directly and sit on the throne. He needs to make all preparations to meet the storm and bloodthirsty killing of King Nalan of Chu, otherwise he will fall short of success.

This man is really terrible. He is not only popular, but also has the support of the whole western Chu, including the emperor. While he was in charge of the Marquis, he was just a small state official in charge of a county. Although he had 100000 troops, he was a soldier of the Western Chu Dynasty. He didn't dare to move at all.

Looking at Guan Hou's face becoming more and more gloomy, he Hai turned his head and said tentatively: "Sir, according to the guess of his subordinates, how can those rich families in the city only have this money? It's just that they are reluctant to give full support to adults. Since they don't know the current affairs and still look forward and backward, it's better for adults to..."

Get close to Guan Hou's ear. He whispered a few words. Guan Hou heard sneers, "OK, ok..."

After that, he Hai thought hard: "but adults, if you want to get these people together, you have to think of a name first, otherwise they are afraid of many excuses."

Name?

It's really not easy to gather all these rich people together. After all, there are at least hundreds of people in the five cities under Beijun. If it wasn't a big deal, how could they come all the way to Lingxi city?

How about dinner? Guan Hou thought about it.

His birthday? No, there are five months left. This excuse can only be abandoned. Or... Which of his children got married? But on a little calculation, his eldest daughter has already been married, his youngest daughter is only 11 years old, his eldest son has married two wives, and his youngest son just got married last year. This method will not work.

Suddenly, he suddenly thought of something.

"When the news came out, it said that the old lady was seriously ill. Please come and have a look." Guan Hou said faintly, and there was no expression on his face.

"What, old lady..."

He Hai wondered: "but the old lady is healthy and well. Why is she seriously ill?"

Guan Hou's face sank: "I said seriously ill, you don't understand?"

Only then did he understand what he meant. He Hai held back his heartbeat and quickly said respectfully, "yes, sir, my subordinates will do it now. However, in order not to make people suspicious, I'm afraid we still have to get a medical notice to show adults' kindness and filial piety."

"Well, that's good. I'll leave it to you. Go and do it quickly."

That afternoon, an emergency notice was posted at the gate of the city Lord's house: the city Lord's loving mother had a strange disease and did not enter the medicine stone. He asked for a famous doctor all over the world. As long as he could cure the old lady, the city Lord would thank him.
