Chapter 1473 Disgusting things before enthronement
King Zhen and King Yong also came to Shu.

The situation of these two former emperors and grandsons who were used to show the benevolence of the false emperor father and son was not good in Shu.

Especially after King Qin revealed his identity, the treatment of the two of them almost took a turn for the worse.

But the strange thing is that since then, no one has come to make trouble.

You must know that even when they were living in Chang'an, those petty officials and even villainous young men dared to come to extort and extort, and if they didn't give them, they made noises, saying that the two wanted to rebel, and the two had no choice but to spend money to eliminate the disaster.

The residences of the two brothers are next to each other, but they are just two ordinary houses.

The place is small, but their wives, children, and children add up to a lot of people. There is no way, but a few people can only squeeze into one room for shelter.

As for money...the two have some in their hands, but they dare not spend it recklessly.

The weather is cold, the house is ventilated everywhere, the children in the family are howling, the woman complains, and there is endless noise.

King Zhen stood under the eaves, looking outside with his hands behind his back, with a gloomy look on his brows.

"Your Majesty, Minister Zheng is here."

"Oh!"

Zheng Yuandong came in quietly through the back door, and even disguised himself.

"Now I don't even have a study room, so I've neglected you."

The two met outside King Zhen's bedroom.

"Your Majesty has suffered."

Zheng Yuandong looked a little sad, "Just now the false emperor said in the court hall that all families can return to Guanzhong."

King Zhen's eyes burst into splendor, "Who is there?"

"Aristocratic families, powerful officials, clan... including the king and others."

King Zhen covered his forehead, "Is he trying to look good to my younger brother?"

"The king is wise...it's a pity."

Zheng Yuandong shook his head, "If it's a day of peace, the king can be the prince!"

"But this is a chaotic world. In a chaotic world, people are not as good as dogs!"

Zheng Yuandong cupped his hands, "Shu is not a place to stay for a long time. Before parting, I have a word..."

"You said."

"Follow the heavens!"

Zheng Yuandong turned around and left, and later appeared in front of King Yong.

"Can you go back?"

King Yong couldn't believe it.

"Yes!"

Zheng Yuandong smiled wryly and said: "In those years when the aristocratic family was in power, the old man thought that only the king's forbearance could pull Datang out of the mud. But who would have thought that time is fate, but the king of Qin suddenly emerged. "

"What was your plan back then?" Yong Wang asked with a smile.

"Back then, the old man was discussing with others. He first recruited some officials and generals who were dissatisfied with the puppet emperor, and waited for an opportunity to launch a palace change."

"This king knows these things. What this king wants to ask is, what are your ambitions?"

Zheng Yuandong was startled, then after thinking about it, he laughed at himself: "I forgot... the old man's ambition..." He raised his head, with some regret in his eyes.

"Open up the territory for the Great Tang!"

……

King Yue is now more and more transparent.

After escaping to Shu, the territory became smaller, the court became smaller, and there were fewer things to do.

Li Mi has the intention of working hard to manage, and often takes care of it with his own hands.After some busy work, my spirit has improved a lot.

Everyone looked at it, well, it seems that the emperor can continue to toss about for a few more years, so the prince is naturally out of the game.

"Your Majesty spends money like water. Most of it is spent in the army, and some of it is used to win over the dignitaries and the big families in Shu. The old man has observed for a long time and found that His Majesty is a little abnormally excited."

Zhao Dongping was very surprised, "Your Majesty is not young..."

In the study, the King of Yue sat by the window, "His woman ran away and lived in the palace, waiting for that scoundrel to favor him. This is a great shame to him. However, if there is no such shame, he will definitely be like a walking dead ..."

"Your Majesty is saying that His Majesty lives on this idea?"

"Yes. Lost the country, what kind of dignity can you hide in the land of Shu? It is said to be a counterattack, but look at that scoundrel, even the Southern Zhou Dynasty was wiped out by him. Just relying on the troops he recruited, relying on the land of Shu A place, just relying on those generals... Do you think you can counterattack successfully?"

"cannot!"

"He is more afraid of death than anyone else, but he is willing to take risks. It is because there are not many ideas to support his life. One is the country, and the other is a woman. In the corner of the country, the woman falls..."

King Yue said mockingly: "Now there is no need for him to counterattack. That scoundrel has returned to Chang'an, and it won't be long before he leads an army to cover up and kill him."

……

Zhou Zun hurried home.

"Aye, Zitai destroyed Nan Zhou!"

"The old man already knows."

Zhou Qin carried the bird cage and whistled at the old dog.

"This country is finally settled."

Zhou's residence in Sichuan is very spacious. Zhou Qin's residence has a big yard, not to mention small bridges and flowing water, but there are also many flowers and trees.

The father and son walked slowly on the path.

"Southern Monday was destroyed, and the Central Plains was unified except for the land of Shu and the western border. And the territory was unprecedented and unprecedented. The old man thinks that Zitai must have an ancestor from now on."

The so-called ancestors are generally the founding emperors, such as Gaozu, Taizu.

Zhou Qin spoke highly of his grandson-in-law.

"The false emperor ordered all the families who followed into Shu to go back."

The servant brought tea, Zhou Zun took a sip, and said comfortably, "This is to make trouble for Zitai."

"Guanzhong is the territory of these people. The local snakes have gone back. Guanzhong and Chang'an are probably very lively!"

"Actually, as long as Zitai doesn't change those rules, these people will definitely choose to surrender."

"Look, old man, it's difficult!"

From the beginning to the end, neither father nor son mentioned Zhou's whereabouts.

No matter how stupid Li Mi was, he would hold Zhou and Huang Chunhui as two hostages.

"King Zhen and King Yong will definitely go back, right?"

"Yes, on the way home, I saw the two of them packing up."

"Crazy with joy!" Zhou Qin sighed, "I don't know if the old man may return to his hometown."

"Definitely!"

……

King Qin and his party returned to Chang'an on a cold afternoon.

"I have seen Your Highness!"

Returning to the palace again, King Qin felt less strange, and said to Zhou Ning, "It's more like home."

"There are too many people." Li Er Er felt that there were too many people.

"It's more."

King Qin said casually.

Weary from the journey, the whole family took a bath and took a nap.

King Qin woke up in the middle of the night, dressed himself and went out.

The maids who were on duty outside panicked, King Qin waved his hand, "Don't disturb the princess."

It was cold, he rubbed his hands, and a court lady opened his skirt...

"This is?"

The King of Qin was puzzled, and the maid said, "This slave warms His Majesty's hands."

"absurd!"

The king of Qin had a serious face, and the maid hurriedly knelt down.

"It's not you that Gu is talking about, it's the rules! Get up!"

King Qin paced outside for a long time, and went to practice later on.

During breakfast, he said to Zhou Ning: "There are many rules in the palace that need to be changed."

"What rules?" Zhou Ning asked.

"For example, if you warm your hands and feet with your chest and abdomen, if your children and grandchildren get used to this kind of enjoyment, they will regard people as humble dogs."

"I'll look for someone to ask later."

King Qin stared, "It's a big deal."

"I know." Zhou Ning said with a smile: "It's a major event for the long-term stability of the children and grandchildren."

"As long as you know."

King Qin ate breakfast in a hurry, "Go ahead alone, by the way, I guess the next step is persuasion, you take care of the palace, don't follow along."

"understood."

Zhou Ning watched him go out, and suddenly asked: "Your Highness is nagging more and more?"

Hua Hong smiled and said, "Your Highness doesn't chatter with others."

Zhou Ning smiled, "Your Highness wants to ascend the throne. If I'm the only woman in the harem, it's not appropriate."

"Then...do you want to choose a concubine?" Hua Hong asked.

Zhou Ning shook his head, "By the way, how are Wu Luo and others doing?"

"Very honest."

"We're all waiting!"

……

Today's court meeting, Liu Qing was the first to leave the class.

"Your Highness, except for the land of Shu and the western borders, the world is now unified. Your Highness has established martial virtues and made the world obey. I think that Your Highness will be the emperor immediately!"

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

One by one, the courtiers came out to second the proposal.

Qin Wang pondered.

It stands to reason that I have to be persuaded to come in again.

So Liu Qing is ready to go to the table... In fact, most of the people are ready.

This is an investment.

But anyone in the above table can get some benefits more or less.

The biggest benefit is naturally Liu Qing and others.

People say that there is nothing better than Conglong's skill. Right now, these few people are about to make a fortune.

"According to the rules, Gu should decline, right?"

King Qin's question made everyone startled.

"Then you wait for the table to persuade you to come in. This is a routine." Qin Wang sighed: "Since ancient times, affection cannot be retained, only routines can win people's hearts. But this rule has a drawback."

"Your Highness, please clarify." Luo Cai said.

"Waste of paper!"

Everyone: "..."

King Qin nodded, "Get ready for the enthronement ceremony! By the way, keep it simple. Do you understand simplicity? Don't waste too much money, especially manpower. Don't recruit tens of thousands of civilians to build a high platform. It's unnecessary."

The official from the Ministry of Industry was stunned, "Your Highness, where can I go to pray to heaven and earth then?"

The new emperor's ascension to the throne, especially the king of Qin who overthrew the existence of the previous emperor, should be even more solemn in offering sacrifices to heaven and earth.

"The platform is too high for the common people to see." King Qin said, "Just look at it, the tower of the imperial city is not bad, it is facing Zhuque Avenue, it is bright and bright!"

Everyone: "..."

Everyone was very helpless to have such a preparatory emperor who refused to follow the rules.

If it were a prince who grew up in a deep palace, these officials would make him suspicious of life.But when facing the King of Qin, these officials can only calm down.

……

"It is said that His Highness is about to ascend the throne."

In Lin's dim sum shop, a shopkeeper and two shop assistants were talking about this matter.

"Aniang, what is enthronement?" Wang Qin asked while sitting behind the counter.

"Just to be the emperor, hey! Yang Qi is here."

A Liang came in in a hurry, "Get a few catties of snacks, I have to go back."

"So urgent!"

"Well! Aye is not happy today, I will bring some snacks back to coax him."

"Yo! It's a dutiful one!"

Amid a burst of compliments, A Liang put the money on the counter and said to Wang Qin, "My jerky is delicious. I'll bring you some later."

"Oh!"

Watching him running wildly, Wang Qin shouted, "Slow down!"

But how could A Liang dare to be slow, he ran very fast.

After passing here, a guard led the horse over, and Ah Liang got on the horse and left.

King Qin was furious in the palace.

"A group of old dogs deliberately did such disgusting things before Gu wanted to take the throne."

Just before, Jin Yiwei came to report that a group of common people knelt outside the county hall in Chang'an County, begging to return to slavery.

Those people were servants of the big clan that the King of Qin rescued at the beginning. Among those people, there were tens of thousands of men who joined the army. Although the Southern Expedition did not perform any meritorious service, it was hard work to defend the place.

Now that he made such a move, it was clearly a slap in the face.

Helianyan is here.

"Your Highness, those people look at... they are all ignorant people."

"How can you be deceived if you are not ignorant?" King Qin sneered, "How dare a smart person get involved in such a thing. Can you ask?"

"After asking, each family will give [-] yuan."

"With a thousand dollars, you will be willing to be a slave!" Qin Wang's eyes darkened, "Aye failed in this matter back then!"

"Yes." Han Ji accompanied him, "Your Majesty also made a move back then, but it's a pity..."
