News of the victory at Heifengkou finally reached Chang'an. Facing this incredible victory, Liu Qi could hardly believe his eyes.
"What a Mo Daojun, what a Liu Deng! Hahahaha, after this battle, my man will never be short of horses again!"
The horses captured in this battle alone were enough to fill the newly built horse farm of the imperial court. In three to five years, it can be expected that a powerful cavalry force will rise.
"Where is Liu Deng's boy? Let him rush back to Chang'an at night!"
Now that the war is over, although the entire Beidi County is now crippled, in any case, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages for the Han Dynasty.
The lack of war horses is one of the main reasons that restricts the development of cavalry. This problem has been completely solved this time.
"Your Highness, I heard some news..."
Chao Cuo did not answer his question, but hesitated to speak.
"What's the news? Master, tell me what you have to say!"
Liu Qi still had great trust in Chao Cuo. Basically, the entire East Palace's external relations depended on Chao Cuo.
"Your Highness, someone has begun to secretly conspire to impeach Acting King Liu Deng for sending troops across the border and leaving his post without authorization..."
When Chao Cuo finished speaking, his voice had become inaudible, and Liu Qi's face had become extremely ugly.
Although Liu Deng did commit a major taboo this time, if he had not committed a taboo this time, only God knows how the current situation would have deteriorated.
Just imagine, after the Huns came out of Fushi City, they headed west or south, and hundreds of thousands of Huns cavalry were galloping in Beidi County. Once they broke through Xiao Pass and swept into Guanzhong, the entire Han Dynasty would probably be in danger... …
"Your Highness, you'd better prepare early. They heard that the commotion this time was not ordinary. Even, I'm afraid, even Prince Wu was involved..."
"Who asked him to come to Chang'an? It's not enough to act arrogantly in Guangling City, why should he go to Chang'an City to cause trouble?"
As soon as he heard that Liu Xian was involved, Liu Qi's face turned ugly. This was really a new and old grudge.
What happened last time allowed him to escape by chance. This guy actually didn't know whether to live or die. Now he dares to go to Chang'an City to make trouble. Do you really think that Chang'an City is also their Guangling City? Let them do whatever they want here.
"This...this is Mrs. Shen..."
When it came to this point, Chao Cuo couldn't continue talking. After all, it involved the palace, and it was not convenient for him, a foreign minister, to say more.
"You mean, the stepson chosen by Mrs. Shen is related to him?"
Hearing what Chao Cuo said, Liu Qi naturally knew the elegant meaning of Xiange from hearing it.
"This is not yet certain, it is just one of the options..."
Chao Cuo gritted his teeth and glanced around to make sure there was no one around before speaking.
"I really didn't expect that the hands of the father and son are really long enough. They dare to interfere in the affairs of the palace? Do you really think that I don't dare to kill people?"
When Liu Qi said the last part, the murderous look on his face had already made Chao Cuo secretly frightened...
Liu Qi could tolerate other things, but this was the only thing he couldn't tolerate.
According to how favored Mrs. Shen is now, her stepson, at least a prince, cannot run away. If this woman uses some tricks secretly, she might cause another disturbance!
What made him even more angry was that Liu Bi and Liu Xian, father and son, stretched their hands a little too long.
If you don't give them a little bit of strength, they may really think that their prince is made of clay and let them rub it here.
"Where is Liu Xian now?"
After pacing back and forth in the palace for a long time, Liu Qi finally asked.
"It is said that he is already on the road. It is estimated that he will be able to reach Chang'an City in three to five days. I heard that he brought a large amount of copper coins with him this time. There were two thousand soldiers escorting him along the way alone. !”
It seemed that he had come to Chang'an City to spread money. Now Liu Qi's face became even more ugly.
"Before I arrived in Chang'an, I had already started to work up and down. It seems that this Prince Wu is really not that diligent! Send the order and send someone to guard me at the gate of the city. Once he arrives in Chang'an City, Just invite me to the prince's residence, I want to treat him to dinner!"
When Liu Qi said these last words, he was already filled with murderous intent.
Under normal circumstances, when encountering such a thing, the princes and kings should naturally hide as far away as possible, not only to avoid suspicion, but also to avoid arousing the suspicion of Liu Qi, the real prince.
But Prince Wu and his son were too conceited, and they clearly didn't take Liu Qi seriously.
The emperor's health was getting worse day by day. At this time, they were actually thinking of getting an adopted son for Mrs. Shen, and they even ended up doing it themselves. Isn't this obviously giving Liu Qi eye drops?
Although the emperor's love for Mrs. Shen was not known to the common people, who among the dignitaries in Chang'an City did not know it. If Liu Deng had not stopped the emperor's thoughts last time, at this time, it would be impossible to say He must be sitting on the position of queen now!
In the harem, mother is always more important than son. Once this woman really takes the position of queen, then his position as prince will be a bit embarrassing...
When it comes to the change of imperial power, Liu Qi has no choice but to murder...
"promise!"
Chao Cuo responded quickly, then turned around and went out.
After such a small turmoil, Liu Qi suddenly felt that the good news in his hand was not good for him?
"Your Highness, if we transport so many copper coins this time with such a big waist, wouldn't it be too ostentatious..."
On the official road to Chang'an, Liu Xian had just received his counselor Li Haomin and whispered to Liu Xian.
"Sir, don't you think that the more publicized we are, the less likely no one will doubt the authenticity of the money?"
Liu Xian had a cunning smile on his face. The money they brought this time was all minted by themselves.
On the one hand, he came to Beijing this time to recommend the youngest son of King Chu Liu Wu to Mrs. Shen as his stepson. On the other hand, he also wanted to spend the money in his hands.
If you want to spend a lot of copper money quickly, what better place than Chang'an? On the one hand, you can directly purchase shops and land in Chang'an City, and on the other hand, you can directly use it to offset Wu's expenses this year. of taxes.
Once copper coins enter the treasury, who else can know where that copper coin came from?
Isn't this money laundering process completed silently?
