Vol 2 Chapter 964: Infamy

Pei Meng, the day when Mr. Dou set off to return to the northwest, the capital was a little boiling.
Because the whole house of Luhou and Pingxibo will leave the capital together to the northwest.
In order to move this time, the two mansions, except for the houses that cannot be moved, all others that can be moved.
Pack large items for shipment by Sanhe Express.
Obviously, after this trip, I will never come back.
For this reason, during this period of time, the two mansions have been buying heavily. It seems to be a posture of spending many years of accumulation, and not only will not leave.
As small as a needle and a hemp rope, as large as a carriage, various ironware, seeds, books, and even carts of food...
All things that can be bought with money, except for houses, the attitude is to buy, buy, buy...
I bought everything and packed it to the northwest.
Regardless of filial piety, Pei Yun came to Luhou Mansion to see him off.
"Farewell, I am afraid I will never see it again in this life." She wept bitterly.
On the contrary, Mrs. Luhou looked very energetic, except for the panic in the first few days, she accepted the fate's arrangement very calmly.
Determined to go to the northwest, she would have no chance to return to the capital, so she decided to vacate the mansion.
Purchasing aggressively and turning money into materials as much as possible was also the decision she made after discussing with Pei Meng.
The Pei family has a lot of money. The trade with Xiliang for many years has allowed Luhou and his son to accumulate a lot of money.
What they are lacking now is the materials, the materials used to seal the king. And the population, a large population.
Pei Meng couldn't keep Mrs. Luhou from cracking the earth and confessing to the king.
Therefore, Mrs. Luhou made the decision very simply, "All the subordinates shall be taken away. If they can be born and raised, they are the seed of the population."
At the same time, they bought a large number of male and female servants through Ren Yazi.
The palace did not stop them from buying people.
Even if they were not allowed to buy or sell people in the capital, they would do it in the northwest, and they would do it even crazily.
Gu Jiu and Liu Zhao also hope that the Northwest Army can successfully take root in Xiliang, where population is the key.
"As long as they can afford these people, I will not interfere!"
This is Liu Zhao's attitude.
In Gu Jiu's words, the diversity of the population structure is conducive to avoiding population risks.
Of course, Mrs. Luhou is very measured. Although she buys male and female servants through Renyazi, she does not buy them on a large scale to avoid criticism.
But even so, the courtiers turned upside down.
"Your Majesty actually let Luhou and Pei Meng's family members leave the capital and go to the northwest? This is Zonghu's return to the mountain!"
"Your Majesty is confused! Don't let Luhou's family members out of the capital!"
"Without these family members, what would the court do to contain Luhou and his son?"
"Fun Jun!"
Civil servants and military commanders, filled with righteous indignation, his eyes flushed with anger.
If no one of the royal family members can restrain Liu Zhao, the courtiers will definitely come to the side of the Qing Dynasty.
Liu Zhao's plan to move westward, and his plan to split the earth and conquer the king, cannot be disclosed at this moment.
He bears the infamous name of the uncle and scolded him angrily: "I reunited my uncle's family, this is filial piety, what's wrong."
"Your Majesty is the Majesty of the people of the world, how can you ignore the safety of the court for the happiness of a family?"
"The ambitions of Luhou and his sons have long been disobedience. If they let their family members leave Beijing, your majesty will surely suffer the consequences one day. If there is an unspeakable disaster in the Great Zhou Dynasty, your majesty will be the culprit."
"Presumptuous! The Northwest Army is actively preparing for the war and wanting to capture Xiliang in one fell swoop. I expressed my heart, but I was so insulted by the short-sighted people like you, I really thought I would not dare to kill you!"
"Your Majesty, please wait for the minister to be put to death in the prison, but the minister still shouldn't care."
"It is true that the Northwest Army is actively preparing for war, and it is probably false to attack Xiliang."
"Ridiculous! Are you vegetarian in the Northwestern Metropolitan Government? Or are you two of them with wine bags and rice bags, thinking that you can't beat the Luhou father and son? It is a good example to blindly grow other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige!"
Liu Zhao even mocked and mocked, not at all polite.
Although he can't quarrel, he is very powerful!
"The Northwest Army has been entrenched in the northwest for nearly a hundred years. It has been passed on for several generations. Its fighting style is unmatched. It is especially good at charging in the field. It is not that the ministers and others have the ambition to destroy their prestige, but they have self-knowledge. Effective, but against the Northwest Army, the chances of winning are not great! Leaving the family of Luhou in the capital is also a means of containment. Now even this containment has been let go by His Majesty. What is the difference between this and the prodigal?"
Liu Zhao sneered: "Do you really think that if you leave Lu Hou's family in the capital, he will be a rat? You might underestimate him."
How can a man in the world care about the love of his children?
The family members died when they died.
Besides Luhou and his sons, Luhou's other sons and several grandsons were all trained in the Northwest Army. Are you still afraid of Pei’s queen?
This is truly absurd.
Liu Zhao pointed to the civil servants and military commanders, "You have taken Luhou's family too much and me too lightly. It is too early to make a conclusion whether I am a stunned monarch or not. And wait for him three to five years. It's not too late to draw conclusions. Retreat!"
Liu Zhao walked away with an angry expression.
Today, wealthy and rich as a errand, he closely follows Liu Zhao.
Just listen to Liu Zhao's instructions, "The person who scolded me to faint the king, let Jin Wuwei investigate secretly. If there is any corruption of ink, he will go to prison directly."
Qian Fu bowed to his orders.
Secretly vomiting, Your Majesty is really a mean.
That's how Liu Zhao kept his grudges.
He was upset and unintentionally reviewed the memorial, so he simply asked Gu Jiu for comfort and kisses.
Gu Jiu slapped him away, "Don't disturb me, I'm busy now."
"What are you up to?" Liu Zhao was wronged.
Gu Jiu immersed himself in the account book, "Busy accounting for the material consumption of the Northwest Army. This is a huge expense. How are you going to explain to courtiers?"
Liu Zhao went back to collapse, "Don't mention it! This morning, two of them are saying that I will let the tiger go back to the mountain, and I am a sinner of Da Zhou, pointing at my nose and cursing the monarch. If I tell them, the next few years, the court If you want to spend millions of liang of money to help the Northwest Army attack Xiliang, I am afraid that those civil servants will be pressed into a hurry, and there will really be a Qingjun side."
Gu Jiu laughed, "Don't worry, I will find a way for you."
Liu Zhao's eyes turned, "I told Jin Wuwei to investigate the who was scolding me. I found the black material, and ordered Zhaoyi."
Gu Jiu touched his face indifferently, and while reading the account book, he said: "Don't be so stingy. Someone scolds you to faint, and you slap your face and hit it back tomorrow.
"I can't wait that long."
Liu Zhao was furious.
This is the first year of Jingming, less than a year after he ascended the throne and proclaimed the emperor, he has been scolded countless times by courtiers pointing his nose to the king.
In the palace, he was scolded at Hunjun, sent courtiers to imprison and scolded at Hunjun, and was scolded at Hunjun for not following the ancestral system. This time he was scolded at Hunjun again...
Liu Zhao said: "Soon there will be articles in the newspapers that refer to Sang Huai and insult me. It is necessary for me to ask the Press Department to investigate this matter."
"Don’t worry, the Wenqing Bookstore will publish a book called "Journey to the West" in the future. Both Sanyuangong and Zhou Shian have lived in the northwest for many years. They both made a preface and recommended this book. It’s hard not to be popular."
Liu Zhao hugged her, "Has it started?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "Start with public opinion, let the world know the dangers of the Northwest and the wealth of the Northwest. Let the adventurous people go to the Northwest, open up commerce and rob wealth. Let the world know the importance of navigating the Northwest. Then you will announce the dispatch of troops. In Xiliang, the imperial court will be much less opposed."
Liu Zhao squeezed his chin, "We have to let the Northwestern Governor's Mansion cooperate!"
"Naturally need the cooperation of the Metropolitan Government. When can the Metropolitan Government rush Bei Rong to Xiliang?"
It is in Da Zhou's interest to rush Bei Rong to Xiliang and let Bei Rong fight with Xiliang.
The prairie does not need a powerful nation, let alone a powerful royal family.
Bei Rong cannot be destroyed for the time being, but can only survive. Forced to become a sharp sword in the hands of the Great Zhou, muddling the boundaries of the Western Regions and breaking into the Western Regions.
Go all the way to the west and count as far as there is.
If Bei Rong has the ability to find a site in the Western Regions to survive, it is also their ability.
The water in the Western Regions was already muddy. Others can stir, why can't Da Zhou be stirred.
Regardless of your army or fanatical warrior, Gu Jiu and Liu Zhao are ready to eat the Western Regions dish.
Liu Zhao whispered: "Beijing sent people to contact. They need weapons."
Gu Jiu laughed out loud, "My Majesty, are you interested in being a weapon dealer?"
Liu Zhao frowned, "I really want to sell the eliminated weapons to Bei Rong."
Gu Jiu smiled, "Fighting to fight against each other can neither give Bei Rong a chance to breathe nor let Bei Rong die completely. Cultivate a fighter and train several opponents at the same time. You must give It’s not easy to find a beater like Beirong. If you miss Beirong, in the next ten, twenty, or even fifty years, you may not be able to find a second Bibei. Rong is a more suitable thug."
"Are you not afraid that Bei Rong and Xi Liang will unite to beat us?"
Gu Jiu laughed, "Beijing's group of beggars come to Xiliang Huahua World, the first thing is definitely not cooperation but looting. Xiliang will cooperate with a group of bandit beggars unless he is crazy."
Liu Zhao nodded.
This is in line with the characteristics of a horseback nation.
No money, grab it!
Hungry, grab it!
Slave, grab!
Woman, grab it!
All things are grabbed, and there is no concept of fair trade in my mind.
That is a group of uncivilized wild people, just put on clothes.
"What if Xiliang cannot withstand Beirong's attack?"
"So we need the cooperation of the Northwestern Metropolitan Government. Only Beirong is allowed to fight with Xiliang, but Beirong is not allowed to occupy Xiliang. We have to find a way to let them continue westward, like a sharp knife to penetrate the western countries. The timing of this incident It must be handled well, and it must be completed just before the Northwest Army begins to pull out."
Liu Zhao pondered the matter, "I will give a secret order to the Northwestern Metropolitan Government, and the transaction with Beirong can be agreed, but it must be postponed. Let Beirong survive another winter, more dead people, and weaken their strength as much as possible. It will not be annihilated."
