In Nanzhou Fucheng, in the military camp, Luo Daan was fighting one against ten with a wooden gun in his hand to kill ten people who were resisting the siege, and was undergoing actual combat training.
Under a cloth tent outside the venue, Meng Shanming was sitting in a wheelchair and watched, while Lu Zheng, who was wearing a battle armor, stood behind, holding his wheelchair.
Hearing the unusual noise, Lu Zheng looked back and saw Shang Chaozong and Lan Ruoting coming hand in hand. He immediately leaned over and whispered in Meng Shanming's ear: "Shuai Meng, the prince and Mr. Lan are here."
Meng Shanming turned around and saw that someone had arrived. He immediately handed over his hand and said, "Your Majesty."
Shang Chaozong stood by his wheelchair and watched the crackling action in the school field. He saw Luo Daan knocking over one person with a wooden gun in his hand. Someone from outside the field immediately came to fill in, and the ten-man siege continued.
After a brief observation, Shang Chaozong exclaimed: "Da'an's marksmanship is getting better and better, and he has gained the essence of Meng Shuai."
Meng Shanming: "Your Majesty, you are so complimentary. Your Majesty, what's the matter?"
Lan Ruoting said: "Meng Shuai, Taoist Master has replied to the letter. Taoist Master said that he has already taken care of the Zijin Cave side, and there is no problem with Bozhou side. He will fully cooperate with us here, so we must get things done.
Master Dao said that he doesn’t care about the process, he only cares about the results!”
"How could Zijin Cave agree to this?" Meng Shanming was somewhat surprised and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Master Tao is indeed a Master Tao."
Seeing the whole leopard at a glance showed that Niu Youdao was not so weak in Zijin Cave from a certain angle, which made the people here quite happy.
Shang Chaozong: "Yes! It can be seen that Master Tao attaches great importance to this matter. This matter must be done thoroughly to live up to Master Tao's trust."
Meng Shanming stroked his beard and nodded. After thinking for a while, he said in deep thought: "That's it, then I will go to Bozhou in person to dispatch troops and generals to the front line of Bozhou!"
Shang Chaozong and Lan Ruoting looked at each other...
In Tianwei Mansion of the Wei Kingdom, Taiwei Nan Renyu and Imperial Censor Jin Lingzan arrived hand in hand, and someone introduced them into the mansion to see Xuanwei.
The two sat in the pavilion in the lake for a while, and Xuan Wei arrived. Except for Ximen Qingkong who was accompanying them, the three of them did not bring anyone else with them, and they had important matters to discuss.
After being polite, the three of them sat down in order.
"Young master, I don't know what's going on?" Nan Renyu asked.
Xuan Wei: "I heard that Master Jin is discussing some matters with others and wants to strictly control the food export to Qin."
Jin Ling praised: "It is true, and there is a reason for it. When the Qin State was newly established, it needed a lot of money to start a brewing business, and it continued to expand the scale of brewing, which shows that it was very profitable. The brewing in Nanzhou of Yan State has stopped.
, I wonder if Xiaoyue Pavilion used this wine in exchange for raising troops to cooperate with Niu Youdao."
Xuan Wei: "Is this related to what you are planning to do?"
Jin Lingzan: "After observation, it is obvious that the Qin State needs a lot of grain to make wine. However, the Qin State suffered from war and was newly established. It did not have that much grain at all. Because it is adjacent to our country and because our country is rich in grain, it started from it.
How can our country allow the Qin State to increase its financial resources and become stronger when it comes to purchasing within our borders? Naturally, it must be restricted and cut off! In order to prevent someone from selling grain privately, we need the cooperation of the military to strictly control the border. I will draw up detailed regulations and negotiate with the military later.
.”
Xuan Wei: "Let's let this matter go. Don't mention it again."
Jin Lingzan was surprised: "Does your husband want to sit back and watch Qin Guo accumulate financial resources and become powerful?"
Xuan Wei: "I've got the details of Qin's brewing business. The profits are indeed huge, huge profits. But I have my arrangements. You don't have to worry about Qin's side. I've got the food supply situation related to brewing."
It’s very clear that I have my own sense of proportion.”
Hearing what he said, Jin Lingzan and Nan Renyu looked at each other and smiled. Even the information provided by Wu Mansion was unclear about this matter, but Xuan Wei said that she had a very clear grasp of it. What does this mean?
Before, the two of them thought that Xuan Wei had really handed over the entire Wu Mansion intelligence agency to His Majesty, but now it seems that this is not the case.
To put it another way, the two of them felt that Emperor Xuan Chengtian was not capable enough to shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending the country. They were not happy to see Xuan Chengtian take full power, and they still hoped that Xuan Wei could control it. From Xuan Wei just now
If so, the two of them thought that what they saw were appearances and that Xuan Wei had not really handed over Wu Mansion.
The woman was attentive. Xuan Wei saw the clues in the two people's reactions and explained, "Don't misunderstand me. The new establishment of the Qin State caused a stir. I was a little worried, so I handed it over to His Majesty before the Wu Mansion.
, specially and secretly arranged a group of people to go deep into the relevant aspects of the Qin State to deal with this matter. Fortunately, the Qin State was newly established, and the relevant defenses were not perfect enough, allowing these people to take advantage of the loophole. When this matter is stabilized, I will still pay attention to it.
Your Majesty is not what you think."
The two of them were silent for a while, their hearts sinking. Jin Lingzan couldn't help but advise, "Mr. Sir, think twice about some things!"
Xuan Wei waved her hand, not wanting to mention this matter.
In fact, she had some doubts about some things, but she promised Ximen Qingkong that she would let go, and she also made up her mind to escape. It would be better to hand over the power later than to hand it over early. First, it would allow the emperor to familiarize himself with the situation as soon as possible, and she could also help him.
He mounted his horse and sent him off for another ride. The second reason was that he did not want to cause his brother to misunderstand because of his love for power.
She had vaguely noticed the emperor's removal of Nan Renyu's military power last time after he stopped him, and it seemed that her brother the emperor was dissatisfied.
Xuan Wei returned to the previous topic, "As I said, put the things you are planning to do on hold, don't mention it again for the time being, and stop before making a fuss!"
Nan Renyu and Jin Lingzan looked at each other helplessly, and Jin Lingzan said: "My husband did this, can I ask why?"
"It is precisely because the situation I have learned is huge profits and people's greed. When the matter reaches a certain point, it will be difficult for the Qin State to stop..." Xuan Wei said and stood up, wandering back and forth under the attention of the two, "Remember, control it.
The price of food in Weiguo must not rise due to Qin's massive purchases. It must be strictly controlled! If anyone disobeys, he will be killed for "disturbing people's livelihood"! I have only one purpose, to let everyone in Qin know how to grow grain.
The cost is not as good as buying food!”
Nan Renyu and Jin Lingzan were both stunned, as if they understood her intention.
Xuan Wei suddenly stopped and turned around, clasping her hands behind her back, looking down at the two of them with a breathtaking aura, "In these troubled times, money is money when it is useful, and it is scrap metal when it is useless. I don't care how rich the Qin State is, mine is
I mean, do you understand?"
Ximen Qingkong on the side smiled slightly. At this time, Xuanwei's momentum and demeanor were very different.
Nan and Jin both stood up, cupped their hands and said with a smile, "Yes!"
With nothing else to do, when the two left the pavilion in the lake and walked on the bridge, Jin Lingzan couldn't help but sigh, "With one hand, Jin is poor, and with the other, Qin is rich. Your Majesty is far inferior to your husband!"
Nan Renyu said melancholy: "It is not a good thing for my husband to retire!"
Standing on the railing of the pavilion, Xuan Wei watched the two ministers go away, but she muttered thoughtfully, "Niu Youdao actually wants to go to the Holy Realm to practice..."
Ximen Qingkong laughed and said, "Why are you still obsessed with Niu Youdao?"
The words sounded ambiguous, and Xuan Wei couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, showing off her daughter's attitude, which made Ximen Qingkong have the urge to hug her, but she restrained herself from doing so in full view of the public.
Xuanwei, who calmed down her emotions, looked back at the lotus flowers in the lake, and sighed with emotion: "I am just sighing because I found out the profit situation of Qin State's wine making. To be able to make such huge profits, Niu Youdao had mastered the secret brewing recipe before.
But he has been making small fuss, making huge profits but not planning. On the other hand, Xiaoyue Pavilion is ecstatic. The two are very different. People who can control their desires are scary. Now I really realize that Niu has
Know how scary this person is!"
…
After Jinzhou, Nanzhou, Beizhou, Bozhou, and other people under the control of Zijindong took action, the movement was immediately discovered by the Yan State Intelligence Department.
The imperial court of Yan State became nervous, Xiaoyao Palace and Lingjian Mountain also became nervous, and people from all over the country also mobilized to prepare for the battle.
Emperor Yan Shang Jianxiong immediately went to the elder of Zijindong who was in charge of the palace to declare spring and asked him what was going on.
Declaring spring as if nothing happened, saying it was nothing, saying it was just an exercise.
What do you mean it's nothing? There is such a big movement, and it is clear that they are going to attack and fight, but you still say it's nothing?
So a distinguished guest came to Zijin Cave, and Long Xiu, the head of Xiaoyao Palace, and Meng Xuan, the head of Lingjian Mountain, arrived together.
As soon as the guests and hosts met, Long Xiu warned: "Brother Gong, don't think that just because there are strong soldiers and horses under Zijin Cave, you dare to act recklessly. If you break up, no one will be able to think about it. It will be no good to everyone."
Speaking of this, it really reflects the benefits that Niu Youdao has brought to Zijindong by joining Zijindong. If a fight really breaks out in the entire Yan Kingdom, no one on the battlefield can be Zijindong's opponent. Zijindong has mastered a huge
The right to speak, now Xiaoyao Palace and Lingjian Mountain must join forces to contend.
But the one who is really nervous is the Song Dynasty.
Niu Youdao warned the important people, but Wu Gongling ignored it, and Bozhou, which bordered the Song Dynasty, clearly launched an offensive against the Song Dynasty.
The various situations that followed showed that the forces related to Niu Youdao were urgently mobilizing troops and raising various supplies for combat.
Under the clever maneuvers of Shang Chaozong and Meng Shanming, the troops of Zijin Cave were so frightened that the entire Yan Kingdom took action to take precautions. They must be on guard. Do they have to wait for someone to hit them on the head before they can prepare?
In the imperial study, Wu Gongling summoned the ministers of civil and military affairs for an urgent discussion to discuss whether Yan State should fight for real or fake it.
They had different opinions. Listening to the argument between the two groups, Wu Gongling walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, feeling anxious in his heart. He didn't expect that Niu Youdao actually came here for Hui Qingping, and he didn't expect that Niu Youdao had such a big interest in Zijin Cave.
Influence.
"Your Majesty, a report from Bozhou!" A eunuch came in and presented the military situation of Yan State.
Wu Gongling took the information and checked it, but he didn't look at it. When he saw it, he was frightened.
The spies learned the news that Meng Shanming had arrived in Bozhou, took charge of the entire Bozhou people, and was patrolling and dispatching people from all over Bozhou.
One wave after another erupted, and suddenly another eunuch came running outside to report, "Your Majesty, a message has been sent from Mengshan Mountain in the State of Yan!"
Wu Gongling quickly grabbed it and checked it. After looking at it, he realized that it was not a letter, but a message.
Meng Shanming said that he had led the Eastern Conquest as the commander-in-chief of the Song Dynasty, and warned this side that the deadline was three days. If Hui Qingping was not handed over within three days, the Yan army would immediately attack the Song Dynasty!
