The news that Cheng Qian died under Ding Chunqiu's poisonous power spread throughout all the sects in the world in less than three days.
While everyone was feeling pity, they were even more worried about whether the orphaned and widowed Murong family would be able to support such a huge family property in the same way as Cheng Qian.
As expected, less than seven days after the news of Cheng Qian's death came out, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty personally issued an order to inform the world.
The content is to express gratitude for the contribution made by the Murong family to the Song Dynasty. The deceased Cheng Qian was specially named the founding baron. In consideration of the young age of his eldest son, his properties were specially included in the internal treasury. When the eldest son came of age, the properties would be transferred to the internal treasury. Returned to Murong's family.
After receiving this imperial edict, all the sects knew that the imperial court was personally taking action to seize the Murong family's property.
Not to mention that the title granted by the imperial court was the lowest among the twelve levels, but when the eldest son reaches adulthood and then returns the property to the Murong family, there are many tricks that can be done.
It would take at least seven or eight years for the eldest son to reach adulthood, and within this period of time, it would be enough for the Song Dynasty royal family to swallow up the Murong family's property. As long as the Murong family accepts it, giving him an empty shell will make the Murong family unable to tell the story of their suffering.
Not to mention that he could use the Murong family's hen to lay eggs and steal the family's property under the name of the Song Dynasty royal family.
Just when everyone in the court felt that God's power was unpredictable, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty was furious in his study.
It turned out that the eunuch who delivered the decree came to report. When they took people to announce the decree and prepare to take over the Murong family's property, they found that the Murong family and the Wang family had already left the building empty, and the people who took over the property also came to report that their warehouses were empty. , factories, and businesses have already been evacuated.
I only found a few pieces of paper on the table in the hall, on which were written the secret recipes for making glass, soap, and sucrose. The ink on the paper was still fresh, as if it had just been written.
When they reacted, they followed the traces and sent people to chase them, but there was no trace when they reached the coast.
After asking local fishermen, I learned that the Murong family had begun to send fleets out to sea one after another as early as six months ago. The boats had a deep draft and seemed to be transporting valuables.
Just because the Murong family's fleet goes to sea all year round to trade in Fusang, Korea, Liaodong, Siam and other places, and the taxes and fees paid for going to sea are sufficient, the local officials did not inspect and report it, and just regarded this as ordinary maritime trade. .
Along with the eunuch's report, there were also memorials from officials from all over the south of the Yangtze River. These memorials all told the Song Emperor one thing in the same way. Due to the cessation of operations of the Murong family in various places in the south of the Yangtze River, many people have no work to do and no food to eat. The places can no longer be pacified, and large-scale civil unrest will occur in various places in the south of the Yangtze River.
Looking at these reports, Emperor Song didn't know that Cheng Qian had been prepared. He had planned his escape long before he was ready to take action. If he hadn't expected that he would suddenly encounter an unexpected incident, which prompted him to take action in advance, he might have even moved the entire Yanziwu.
Wanting to understand the key, Emperor Song angrily shouted that Murong Fu was a thief who stole the country, and then he vomited blood and fainted.
Cheng Qian, who was cherished by the Song Emperor, not only did not die, but appeared on the Murong family's ship to Yizhou overseas. Standing next to him was the murderer of "Nan Murong", "Xingxiu" who had been widely rumored in the world. "Old Weird" Ding Chunqiu.
I just heard Ding Chunqiu smile at Cheng Qian and say: "My grandson-in-law, you are really a good trick! Not only did you relieve me of a serious problem this time, but you also caused chaos in the entire Song Dynasty by feigning death. I guess the Song court now The little emperor is so angry that he is vomiting blood."
Cheng Qian also smiled and replied: "It is also thanks to the help of grandpa (that should be the name) that the plan can be so successful. In other words, it is also thanks to your help to me over the years that I can achieve the success of today's situation."
Ding Chunqiu waved his hand and said: "Where is it? If it weren't for your deep layout, how could I have known that Wu Yazi was not dead? Thanks to your help, I was able to understand Xiao Wu Xiang Kung Fu, and my skill greatly improved." Ah. I just don’t know what my grandson-in-law wants to do in the future?”
Cheng Qian looked solemn and said: "Now that the plan has been completed, the next step is to follow the original agreement with Yelu Chongyuan. He will take Daliao and become the emperor of Daliao, while I will go south directly after acquiring the sixteen states of Yanyun. Destroy the Song Dynasty. When the time comes, he and I will complement each other and interfere, each getting what he needs."
Ding Chunqiu asked doubtfully: "Isn't my grandson-in-law afraid that Yelu Zhongyuan will regret it after conquering the Liao Dynasty and attack you from behind while you are attacking the Song Dynasty?"
But Cheng Qian laughed and said: "I don't think Yelu Chongyuan can achieve great things and will be destroyed by Yelu Hongji. My move is just to take back the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun and delay the speed of Liao's counterattack. Only When I capture the sixteen states of Yanyun and use the people of these sixteen states for my own use, no one in the world will be able to stop me."
After hearing this, Ding Chunqiu also knew that Cheng Qian had his own plan, so he said no more, "In that case, I won't ask any more questions. Speaking of which, I haven't seen A Luo (Mrs. Wang) and A Luo (Mrs. Wang) for a long time." Yu Yan, it just so happens that I can go over and spend some family time with them, and I will also enjoy the perks of being the father-in-law of the Grand Kingdom."
"Of course I should. I have worked hard for my grandfather to help me over the years. Now it is time for me to return to Liaodong and enjoy the happiness."
It turned out that Cheng Qian had gone to Xingxiu Sea in person as early as the year he married Wang Yuyan, and through Mrs. Wang's connection with Ding Chunqiu (actually because Ding Chunqiu was the wife of his master Wu Yazi, Li Qiu Shui, later Ding Chunqiu also... Li Qiu Shui secretly attacked Wu Yazi, causing him to be seriously injured and paralyzed. Ding Chunqiu also fell in love with Li Qiu Shui and raised Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang called Ding Chunqiu daddy every time. It was really~~!~~! A bloody drama), accepted (bao) and conquered (da) him.
In the following time, under Cheng Qian's guidance, Ding Chunqiu successfully practiced the "Small Wuxiang Gong" and became more sophisticated in his poison skills. He also reciprocated and helped Cheng Qian to deal with some competitors and sects privately.
Time flies, and three months have passed since Chengqian faked his death and escaped.
In these three months, the Jiangnan area of the Song Dynasty was first in chaos due to the evacuation of the Murong family, and uprisings continued. The Emperor of the Song Dynasty was very busy trying to solve the problem.
As his brother, the Liao Kingdom was even more uncomfortable. Yelu Hongji was also troubled by his uncle, the Emperor Taishu of Daliao and the King of Nanyuan, Yelu Chongyuan, and his nearly 600,000 troops.
Yelu Chongyuan, who was supposed to confront the Miao army on the front line, suddenly turned around and attacked Shangjing Mansion where Yelu Hongji was located, and at the same time issued the slogan "Qing Jun's Side".
And Yelu Hongji, the king of the Liao Kingdom, tried his best to mobilize some surrounding tribal armies and Jingzhou armies from the surrounding areas. After unifying his own palace army, the number was only about 100,000.
As a result, he did not care about the capture of the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun by the Miao Army, and tried his best to defend against the attack from Yelu Chongyuan, hoping that things would turn around.
The Miao army also appeased the local people after conquering the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, and arranged for a steady stream of talents to be transported from Yizhou to serve as officials in various places, divide the fields, and build factories. In less than a month, Yanyun was conquered. The Sixteen States were completely digested and incorporated into the machine of Miao, constantly injecting fresh blood into it.
After that, Cheng Qian first ordered to expand the army by another 100,000 from the local area based on his 100,000 Miao army. Later he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, changed the country's name to "Miaojiang", proclaimed himself the emperor of Miaojiang, created his own surname "Gu Ming", and changed his name to "Cang Yue", which is "Cang Yue Gu Ming".
Wang Yuyan was canonized as the Queen of Miaojiang, and her eldest son Murong Sheng was made the prince. Together with his son Murong Xing and his daughter Murong Ziling, they all changed their names to "Gu Ming".
After appointing Deng Baichuan as prime minister, he led Gong Yeqian and other remaining ministers to handle internal affairs and conscription matters.
He personally led an army of more than 100,000 from the Miao territory and attacked Yanmen Pass.
