Some people are even worried that if his body and bones continue to be tortured like this, he won't be able to last long. Although this Lord was surrounded by his confidants, outsiders did not know that he took tiger and wolf medicine to enhance his happiness and visited several women every night. But after all, everyone is not stupid. Among those civil servants who have reached a certain level, who is not a top person? No matter how well concealed some things are.
When he was seen in person, he couldn't hide the tiredness on his face and the look of being hollowed out by women. If some people make careful inquiries, they won't be able to find out anything. Even if his methods are vicious, he is now in the palace, and the people in the palace may not be truly monolithic. His brothers are more or less confidants in the mansion.
As long as you are careful, you may not be able to detect any clues. On the surface, he still seems to have great ambitions, but deep down and in some of his actual practices, he looks increasingly decadent. The thoughts of those who submitted to him as civil servants and generals, as long as they did not have the blood of their former colleagues in their hands, became somewhat uncertain. Many people are trying their best to show their favor to the court.
Those local officials were better off and didn't know the actual situation in Jingjiang Mansion. But the officials who were appointed as central officials by him either emphasized or threatened them. Faced with this situation, all of them became worried. But because of this Lord’s behavior, almost no one dared to persuade him. Although he has received a large reward, his national title has not been established yet, and this man's heart has already become somewhat scattered.
After all, in the eyes of the world, the founding king of that dynasty was either a resolute person, or someone who would not give up easily no matter how many setbacks he encountered? He is obsessed with beauty all day long and does not care about his own body and bones. How can this be anything like the founding king of the country? Those actions were as absurd as those of Qin II, Huan and Ling of Han, Emperor Yang of Sui, and Xizong of Tang.
Nowadays, tens of thousands of the elites of the imperial court are stationed in the heart of Guangnan East and West Road, but Ganzhou and Nan'an are separated by Meiguan, and they will fight each other if they speak. The 200,000 troops you worked so hard on here have been wiped out. A slightly capable general would either die on the battlefield or be captured by the court. At this time, I don't think about the strategy of resisting the enemy, and behave like a drunken woman all day long.
And where can we really capture the loyalty of those officials who rely on money to buy their loyalty? People follow you in rebellion because they are smart and capable in the past. In the future, they can become ministers of Conglong, be crowned kings and marquises, and by the way, they can also get a lot of money. Nowadays, the decline is becoming more and more obvious, and it is doomed to be in vain. Who will work hard for you honestly? Moreover, the loyalty bought with money is inherently limited.
But in fact, how could the King of Han really not understand this truth if he was so shrewd? He could see more clearly into the thoughts of his officials. But it has been painstakingly planned over the years, from instigating the princes to seize the legitimate heirs to fighting with each other, to paying heavy sums of money to bribe civil and military officials at all levels. General trend bribes martial arts people to work for him, to serve as spying minions, and assassins of those officials and nobles who refuse to bribe.
In addition, you can cast cannons and manufacture gunpowder, forge ordnance, and purchase armor and weapons from Dali. Large quantities of military horses were purchased from overseas, Khitan, Jurchen, and Goryeo. The 200,000 troops trained in the 100,000-strong mountain require a large amount of food and wages. Over the years, the money and silk have been spent like water. If all were converted into coins, tens of millions of coins would have been filled in.
The most important thing is that he has officially launched a rebellion. Anyone of his subordinates can surrender, but he can never surrender. But now that the elite soldiers in hand have been exhausted, there are not many generals left who can fight. Even those tribes of barbarians who had always been honest and docile to me and allowed themselves to be manipulated by them had been experiencing frequent changes in these days, but I was unable to take care of them at all.
Ascending the throne as emperor now is what he has to do in order to maintain the last trace of dignity of the century-old Guilin County Prince's Mansion. It is also a deterrent to some people with evil intentions. As for the real thoughts of those officials who are just like wallflowers, he actually doesn't care much. His actual deployment on the East and West Second Road in Guangnan was left to Lu Wentao to make arrangements in secret.
He indulged in beauty all day long, and of course he wanted to vent the nameless irritability and even frustration in his heart. But isn't he trying to confuse the court and prepare for his secret arrangements? He knew that some of his uncles and brothers were secretly having an affair with the imperial court. The more messed up I am now, the more time I can buy for my deployment.
Therefore, he basically didn't pay much attention to the reports from those who secretly monitored those officials. Because he knew that in the eyes of those people, as long as he gave them glory and wealth, it would be the same no matter who he kowtowed to. What he really relies on are those officials whose hands were stained with the blood of their colleagues and who had no way out. Those officials had already been transferred out in advance by themselves.
For the remaining officials, if he were not short of manpower now, he would still need them to work for him. He also wanted to set an example for others, as he had already stewed them in a spoonful. They played double-dealing with themselves, took their own money, and secretly had an affair with the imperial court. Who gave them such courage? When I first played this trick, they were still at home and ignored what was going on outside the window.
Just when the master looked at the changes in the officials reporting below, a cold smile appeared on his lips. One of his confidants hurried over to report, and he is now under house arrest in the palace's own courtyard. The ninth brother who was appointed by the court to succeed him as the Duke of Guilin after he raised an army seems to have gone crazy. Banging his head against the wall and threatening to see him.
After hearing this report, he waved to the reporter to get down, but without any hesitation, he walked to the ninth brother's yard. This person has always relied on his identity as his legitimate son, but he always wants to fight with himself for something he doesn't know what he is capable of. As a guy who has always been obsessed with the throne, it’s time for him to go take a look. The feud between the two people for so many years has finally come to an end.
However, when he walked outside the door, before entering, he cruelly ordered people to bring the two concubines of his ninth brother, who were often picked up by his lucky concubines these days. Since he wanted to make a final decision, wouldn't it be better if he let him be more desperate before he died? It's just a pity that the ninth younger brother and sister who haven't enjoyed enough are too strong-tempered.
Isn't it much better to follow him than to follow that loser? It was just a night of playing with me, so why did it end with death? Now, haven't you been left to feed the dogs? If what he did to the ninth brother and sister that night was repeated in front of the ninth brother, who had always been deeply in love with his wife, that would be called a real fatal blow.
However, he did not wait to bring the two concubines, but walked in first. Entering the room where the ninth brother was imprisoned, he looked at the ninth brother who had become haggard and emaciated after these days. He took the tea handed over by the guard's confidant and took a pleasant sip. After waving his hand to indicate that the confidant could withdraw temporarily, he said slowly: "I wonder why the ninth brother met with me?"
"We are all brothers. If Ninth Brother wants to see me, just send someone a message. Why bother here again hitting the wall and going on hunger strike? Although I have a lot of things to do now, if Ninth Brother summons me, , I have to find time to come here, right? Who makes the ninth brother the most beloved son of the father? Who makes the ninth brother always say the same thing in this palace? "
Hearing the sarcasm in his brother's words coupled with a seemingly enthusiastic tone, it was actually quite cold. Since he started the rebellion, he has been under house arrest in his own yard, and all his confidants and servants have been transferred away. After he was defeated and retreated to Guangnan West Road, even his wife and concubine were taken away from him. Under constant torture, the ninth brother was already haggard.
Suddenly he knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to him: "Fifth brother, I will never fight with you for anything. I just beg you to return Yun Niang to me. As long as you can return Yun Niang to me, I am willing Become an idle cloud and a wild crane, and never set foot in the palace of the Guilin County Prince again. If fifth brother is worried if we stay on Guangnan West Road, we can be exiled to Annan or Dali."
Seeing that Zeng had always been arrogant and arrogant, after he was appointed as the crown prince, he had to compete with himself for everything. Even twice, the ninth brother who almost made him unable to inherit the throne is now kneeling in front of him like a dog and begging for his beloved wife. But this master didn't move even a little bit, and he didn't even want to raise his eyebrows.
Until the person in front of him and the two concubines were sent in. In front of his ninth rank, he held the two concubines in his arms who had been ruined enough by him. He tore open the clothes of the two of them, and the situation became frivolous for a while. Ignoring the person kneeling in front of him, he said with red eyes: "Speaking of the nine younger brothers and sisters, they are very lively and fragrant, and they are also rare women in this world."
"It's a pity that the blessing source is a little thin. He only served me for one night, and then he committed suicide with scissors. You said Ninth Brother, she is a woman, who is not accompanying her? Why can't she think about it so much? What a pity, then A charming and charming woman, but so unlucky. I haven’t enjoyed her enough yet. You said that you have been married for so many years, but you still haven’t been able to discipline her docilely.”
Hearing that his beloved wife had been insulted by her, he committed suicide with scissors without saying anything. In front of him, he held his two concubines in his arms and kept raising and lowering his hands. They were looking at him with sad eyes, hoping that he could rescue them from the clutches of the devil. His ninth brother's eyes couldn't help but burst. Suddenly he got up like crazy and wanted to fight for his life.
Just as he was waiting for him to get closer, his fifth brother and the guards who sent the two concubines in were pinned to the ground and could only roar like wild beasts. But when he saw his ninth brother, who had a lot of support from Wang Zong in the palace and was constantly causing trouble for him, he could only protest against him with a roar. This Lord, who does not need medicine, is actually beyond his power.
Dang even felt extremely excited. Regardless of the two women's struggles, he pressed forward. Perhaps it was in front of his ninth brother that he acted very bravely without using any medicine. After being satisfied. Facing the few confidant guards who were just in front of him.
After tying his belt, he enthusiastically ordered: "I have graciously rewarded these two women to you. You can do whatever you want with them. Remember this, I will torment them later." At that time, you are not allowed to leave this room, and you must do it in front of your ninth master. Let your ninth master have the honor to cheer for you personally. Now, these two are yours."
