Atmosphere.
Surprisingly weird.
Only the burning farm behind him was still burning. The people in the fire couldn't even shout at this time. The intense suffocation and burning left their bodies with only the struggle before dying.
then.
Just those hundreds of thousands of people.
The hundreds of thousands of people who were so arrogant just now turned into black coke and fell one after another.
In the fire.
Chen Ran has gone crazy.
He clawed at the ground frantically.
Maybe when he planned to use poppies to control Liangshan, he never thought that such a day would come.
The fire was about to engulf him.
His distorted face made it impossible to discern his appearance at all.
After a night of yelling, his voice had lost its voice.
finally.
A fire came mercilessly.
It completely overwhelmed him.
…
It's also very quiet here.
Xie Zhen looked at Liu Zheng with a gloomy face.
Others also looked at it.
The torches were still roaring in the light rain, echoing the distant sounds of the farms over there.
Everyone was looking at Liu Zheng at this time, waiting for him to speak.
Xie Zhen was even more curious.
Why would he see through his almost seamless plan?
Liu Zheng chuckled: "Brother, the matter is actually very simple. Let's put aside everything and all the complicated factors..."
He looked at Xie Zhen quietly and said calmly: "Who is the only beneficiary of the entire Nanman invasion?"
The air at the scene condensed instantly.
Xie Zhen's expression changed slightly.
Nanman invasion...
Ever since Liu Zheng entered Shu, the whole thing had indeed been heading in the direction of Xie Zhen... At a glance, it seemed that everything was a coincidence. But when all coincidences come together, it is no longer a coincidence.
From the beginning, who introduced this Nanman?
At this time, there must be a question mark.
Is it Xie Yang?
In fact, at that time, Xie Yang was more vocal than Xie Zhen in Sichuan and Shu to inherit the throne. As long as this situation continues to develop slowly, Xie Zhen's position will be in jeopardy. How could Xie Yang take the initiative to lure the southern barbarians into Sichuan and Shu?
Of course, Nanman is indeed related to him.
But this must be a game designed by Xie Zhen for him!
Xie Zhen has been pretending to be honest and benevolent...
In contrast, Xie Yang became a treacherous person.
In fact, it was Xie Zhen who had everyone under control.
Liu Zheng chuckled: "So I'm also curious, how did you let Xie Yang become the knife in your hand, leading the southern barbarians to kill your father?"
Xie Zhen was silent for a moment.
The matter had reached this point, and he had nothing to show off, so he laughed loudly: "The Grand Canal..."
Liu Zheng nodded.
Ever since he knew that Xie Zhen was the mastermind behind the scenes, he had considered this. The Grand Canal had a great impact on all the vassals of the Longyan Dynasty. Various interest relationships, various interest impacts... Xie Zhen only needs to exaggerate the threat of Liangzhou to Sichuan and Shu in the Grand Canal in Sichuan and Shu. Naturally, some people can't sit still.
The first person to bear the brunt was Xie Yang - because at that time, Xie Yang was the easiest to inherit the throne.
Xie Yang must have remonstrated with the old King of Shu because of this matter.
The old King of Shu still had some affection and understanding for Liu Zheng. In other words, the old King of Shu had his own considerations, and he definitely did not follow Xie Yang's wishes on this matter.
Under such circumstances, Xie Zhen stood up, added fuel and jealousy, supported the Grand Canal, and praised Liu Zhizhou's talents and strategies...
then.
Everything happened next.
Xie Yang felt that if he continued like this, he would definitely sit back and wait for death. He gritted his teeth and led the southern barbarians to invade, and everything fell into place. The old King of Shu was injured by a poisonous arrow and died suddenly.
Then, Xie Zhen asked for reinforcements from the Liangzhou Army.
Liu Zheng led his army south and easily captured his rival.
sworn sworn...
Liu Zheng asked again: "You have always been the one who has contact with Xie Ling, right?"
Xie Zhen chuckled: "Otherwise, why would I lead the Liangzhou army into Shu?"
Liu Zheng nodded: "So when we were in Dingding in Sichuan and Shu, you deliberately encouraged me to garrison Liangshan, just because you wanted me to die in Liangshan... So, you have always known about the existence of this poppy, that is, smoke and soil? "
After saying this, his eyes became extremely sharp.
opium!
This existence has caused the Chinese nation to suffer humiliation for many years!
Xie Ling and Xie Zhen have been working to enter the Longyan Dynasty!
wild ambition!
How vicious his heart is!
Xie Zhen smiled: "Second brother, the situation in Sichuan and Shu is complicated. Brother Yu wants to save his family wealth to be prepared, right? Xie Yang, Xie Chen, are eyeing the throne. If I don't have anything in my hand, how can I fight for the throne? When the time comes, , I am the one who dies, I am the one who dies!”
His expression became ferocious and terrifying: "The fight for the right to inherit the throne has always been like this. Either you die or I die!"
"What do you want me to do?"
"What should I do if I leave you alone?"
"I have been living in this kind of family since I was a child, what do you want me to do!"
His roar rang out across the plains of western Vietnam.
Excited, angry, excited, complicated...
His fists were clenched tightly and then separated, and his whole body was shaking with emotion.
This argument is naturally not enough to make people cry. But the helplessness is also empathetic.
Xie Zhen stared at Liu Zheng closely, with a self-deprecating smile flashing in his eyes: "Second brother, do you know? Brother Yu introduced you to Liangshan. Brother Yu's heart is so painful, so painful... If we can always be brothers in this life, then How nice it would be.”
"pity……"
He looked up to the sky and laughed: "Xie Ling is the third prince, he is the prince!"
"you……"
"He's just the son of a merchant, a mere state magistrate!"
"So what if you are famous all over the world?"
"So what if you have great talent and great strategy?"
"So what if you become famous all over the world?"
"Yes, you are a talent. To be precise, you should be a genius. But you are destined to only shine for a short time in the long river of history. Sometimes, I really envy you... No, sometimes, I even think Be you!”
Xie Zhen's eyes were sharp: "If your talent matches my status, what can you do to Xie Ling?"
"I just want to thank Fang, so what?"
"so……"
He smiled softly: "So, Brother Yu wants to be you... Brother Yu has been becoming you... I promote the imperial examination in Sichuan and Sichuan, I create factories in Sichuan and Sichuan, I use the points system in Sichuan and Sichuan, and I build production teams in Sichuan and Sichuan , I am in Sichuan and Sichuan, working on the cabinet, public education, public medical care..."
"I'm imitating you..."
"I am imitating you..."
The more Xie Zhen talked, the more excited he became: "You know? As soon as these things came, the whole of Sichuan and Shu came to life! Yes, it came to life, more alive than ever before!"
The entire audience heard silence.
Liu Zheng didn't expect it either.
I have brought such a big change to Xie Zhen...
imitate……
It can even be said to be a copy.
He didn't even know whether to be grateful or depressed.
Sichuan and Shu have natural advantages and geographical conditions. If Liangzhou's development model is followed, over time, the power of Sichuan and Shu will shock the entire Longyan.
Liu Zheng took a sip of wine and smiled miserably: "So, after imitating for a long time, my brother also thinks that I am getting more and more, damn it?"
"That way, you can really become me..."
"Is it?"
He lowered his head and looked at his feet.
Xie Zhen nodded.
The rain started to fall heavily again at this time.
The sky is also bright.
Liu Zheng slowly raised his head, his eyes already bloodshot...
"You shouldn't touch opium..."
