Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 481 Terrible Involution
When Qian Hongchu decided to accept the land and surrender, he did not inform Cao Bin immediately, let alone report to the Central Plains. Instead, he sent people to Quanzhou to persuade Liu Cong to contribute to the livelihood of the people of Quanzhang and the Central Plains.

"Snapped!"

Liu Congxiao was so angry that he broke the chair.

Seeing Shen Nian with a kind face in front of him, Liu Cong Xiaoda had the urge to kick him in the face.

Liu Congxiao has been having trouble sleeping and eating recently, and his mind is full of thoughts about how to protect the interests of Liu's family in the future.

Before the Central Plains made any move against the Qingyuan army, Liu Congxiao had already sent people to Beijing with heavy gifts, just to fight for the final benefit of Liu's family.

Like Qian Hongchu, Liu Congxiao had no intention of resisting the Central Plains at all. The gap in strength was too great. He just wanted to leave a piece of land in Quanzhou or Zhangzhou for the descendants of Liu's family.

The road of accepting the soil and returning to obedience has been considered.

But in his mind, it was the worst and final decision, and it was the last way out to resolve territorial disputes peacefully under the last resort.

As a result, Wu Yue voted directly?Not only did he vote, but he also sent someone to ask him to vote together.

what is this?
The future of my Qingyuan Army has nothing to do with you, Wu Yue.

You are a wealthy family, so you don't care about my family affairs?

Liu Congxiao got up with a fire in his heart, stood up abruptly, and said loudly: "That's great... I have this intention for a long time. The emperor Luo of the Central Plains went south to fight with the north, ended the troubled times, and everyone hoped for it. I am in the two states of Quanzhou and Zhangzhou, officials and common people , everyone admires it. If we can stop fighting and promote the great cause of unification, we will not hesitate."

He spoke impassionedly.

Qian Hongchu's submission to the land directly blocked the way to stay home.

In the Jiangnan area, it can be said that the weak have their own weak players.

From the perspective of the Central Plains, apart from the ability of the navy in the Southern Tang Dynasty, the soldiers were like weak chickens.

But if you want to say that Nantang is weak, Wu Yue will definitely be unhappy, who do you look down on!

Wu Yue is weak, but there is still Qingyuan Army below.

Even Wu Yue, a "colossus", surrendered to the soil, what reason did the Qingyuan Army have to support it?
Under such circumstances, it is undoubtedly a way to die.

Wu Yue voted directly with the Qingyuan army, leaving no room for them.

The key to this matter is that Wu Yue took the lead, and half of the credit for this matter is Wu Yue...

Lack of Dade.

Liu Congxiao was stunned to death, how could he have thought that even surrender would involve introversion.

If I had known today, after Cao Bin crossed the river, I should have voted thoroughly.

Why did Wu Yue take advantage of it for nothing?

Liu Congxiao was furious, but he had no choice but to accompany him with a smile: "I'm so excited, I accidentally broke the chair!"

Shen Nian tacitly said, "Tianzi Luo is currently in Bashu, and I don't know when he will return to Beijing. After he returns to Beijing, my family's king plans to choose a date to go to Bianjing to have an audience in person. Why don't King Jinjiang come to Beijing together with my family's king? "

Liu Congxiao looked at Shen Nian's heart but said with a smile, "We should be together."

After warmly entertaining Shen Nian, Liu Congxiao invited his adopted sons Liu Shaoji, Zhang Hansi, and Chen Hongjin to the conference hall that night.

The core members of the Qingyuan Army are headed by Liu Congxiao and Zhang Hansi, who were the founders of the Qingyuan Army back then, and Chen Hongjin is a rising star, but his strength has surpassed Zhang Hansi, and can be compared with Liu Congxiao.

Historically, after Liu Congxiao died of illness, Chen Hongjin took control of the Qingyuan army, but he lacked prestige and qualifications, so he elected Zhang Hansi as his successor.

Within a few years, Zhang Hansi placed Chen Hongjin under house arrest and replaced him.

Liu Congxiao was originally hostile to Chen Hongjin, but now it doesn't matter.

The leftovers will move to other places for development, and the two states of Quanzhang and Zhangzhou are no longer within their control.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to offer your soil to surrender?"

Chen Hongjin asked first, with a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

In the Qingyuan Army, he is No. [-] in name, besides Liu Congxiao, he also has his successor, Liu Shaoji, and the senior Zhang Hansi.

No matter how it is settled, it will not be his turn. On the contrary, after leaving the family to move away from Quanzhang, Chen Hongjin has the final say on Quanzhang.

At that time, their Chen family can completely control the Quanzhou maritime business and become the uncrowned king.

Chen Hongjin's Chen family is the biggest beneficiary of Quanzhou's maritime trade business, and the core members of the Chen family are all aware of the huge potential and prospects of maritime business.

As long as they control the sea merchants, their Chen family will have a brilliant future.

Liu Congxiao said: "Today, we can't allow us to choose. The king intends to go to Bianjing tomorrow. After I leave, Shaoji will be in charge of the Qingyuan army, and my virtuous brother and Chen Tongjun will assist."

When Liu Congxiao said this, all three of them were stunned.

Shen Nian is Wu Yue's assistant prime minister, with a very high status, he shows prudence by following his example, when hosting a banquet, he specially invites all the senior officials of the Qingyuan army to accompany the guests.

Therefore, everyone knows that Liu Congxiao has agreed to go to Bianjing with Qian Hongchu.

But Liu Congxiao let out a "hum": "That's what I lied to, how can it be unreasonable, how can our Qingyuan army lag behind Wu Yue in every way?"

Lao Tzu will leave tomorrow, personally waiting for the emperor of the Central Plains in Bianjing to return to his class teacher, and presenting the two prefectures of Quanzhou and Zhangzhou as a triumphant gift.

No matter what, you have to be ahead of the curve.

Liu Congxiao muttered swearingly.

Chen Hongjin thought for a moment, then said: "Your Majesty is right. How can it be Wu Yue's turn to determine the ownership of the Qingyuan Army? The subordinates support Your Majesty to enter the capital as soon as possible..."

Staying from the effect and calling a few people is a notice, not a discussion, and the matter is decided.

Several people discussed the matter of entering Beijing. Chen Hongjin said at the end: "Your Majesty, my brother has a son who is going to study in the north. Originally, he planned to go to Jinling to find famous teachers, but it is difficult for Jinling to restore stability in the short term. Besides, there are many scholars in Jinling. He will go to Bianjing to develop, so he intends to let him go to Bianjing to study."

"It's a long journey from Quanzhou to Bianjing, and it's mostly inconvenient. I wonder if Your Majesty can take him to Bianjing to see the world?"

Chen Hongjin is the best at speculating, and he is already thinking of sending his nephew to Bianjing to manage things.

As far as the Chen family's status in Quanzhang and Zhangzhou is concerned, it can thrive even without management.

But Chen Hongjin wanted to go one step further and earn an official position in Quanzhou.

It is best to be the governor of Quanzhou, no matter how bad it is, it is the second and third in command like Changshi and judge.

With the status and connections of the Chen family in Quanzhou, it is completely possible to take over the immediate boss and control the state's voice.

Liu Congxiao knew that Chen Hongjin must have a conspiracy in this move, but he didn't care about it. At this point, he was more open-minded.

Whatever you love, you can’t eat meat from Quanzhang at home, and you can’t do without princely soup.

Chen Hongjin left the government office, and immediately found his elder brother Chen Hongqian.

Chen Hongqian was the head of the Chen family in Quanzhou and inherited the Chen family business.

Chen Hongjin, on the other hand, worked hard as a separate family and made achievements. The two sides, one in politics and one in business, helped each other and gathered a lot of strength.

Chen Hongjin explained his thoughts to his elder brother Chen Hongqian in detail.

Chen Hongqian was also a decisive person, and said: "Maritime merchants have great potential, and their development is even worse than that of western commercial routes. In the future, the imperial court will inevitably interfere. Our Chen family can enjoy this benefit exclusively before the imperial court interferes."
