Chapter 134
Know the current affairs
Nalan Jing's touch was touched that he could not calm down for a long time, so he returned the account book to him, while speaking: "They have greedy for so much money and have made weapons privately, I'm afraid..."
She didn't say the rest, and Gu Bai and Rong Xuan knew what it was.
Hoarding troops!
Unlike the private army that Zhao An and Suzhi in Youzhou, the stockpiling of troops is really planning to rebel.
Rong Xuan has already thought further. The money for flood relief is not much, but the money for the construction of the dike has almost emptied the entire national treasury. Where did so much money go?
Over the past decade, Jiulong Mountain has built so many weapons, and where have they all gone?
What do you need so many weapons?
If it is used as a hoarding army, how many teams will it be?
In other words, he had already thought of the most serious consequences - Liu Xiang planned to usurp the throne, privately build weapons, and perhaps privately hoarded troops. That team was definitely no less than 100,000 troops, otherwise it would not require huge manpower and financial resources to build weapons for more than ten years!
For a moment, no one in the room made a sound.
After a long time, Nalan Jing suddenly thought of a question: "Liu Xiang has been going to Beijing. If he really hoarded troops, who would do these things in the dark?"
As soon as Nalan Jing said this, Gu Bai couldn't help but look at her.
Nalanjing frowned: "Who did you guess?"
Gu Bai withdrew his gaze and said a man with a cold face, "Zhenbei Hou!"
Zhenbei Hou?
When Nalan Jing remembered, it seemed that Mrs. Liu's legitimate brother, surnamed Wei, was one of the best military generals in the Southern Chu Kingdom, but he had been stationed in northern Xinjiang for many years and had not returned to Beijing.
She also heard from those Hua Niangs that Zhenbei Hou held 100,000 soldiers and horses. If he was still secretly hoarding soldiers, the number might be no less than the Su family army stationed on the border, and the Su family army would have only 200,000 soldiers and horses.
Only this time did Nalanjing truly understand the situation in the court.
The Southern Chu State is now suffering from internal and external troubles. It is impossible for the Su family army to return to the court in multiple ways. There are only 50,000 soldiers and horses in the capital. If the Marquis of Zhenbei raises a flag to rush to the capital tomorrow, the 50,000 soldiers and horses will be vulnerable in front of the 200,000 army.
After thinking it through, Nalan Jing sat on the chair, and was a little unwilling to move.
Gu Bai looked at her coldly again.
Nalan Jing: "Sir, you really can't arrest Fang Wenjing this time."
Jiulong Mountain is now a time bomb. Once Liu Xiang notices that his conspiracy is exposed, it will be not far from rebellion.
Gu Bai snorted coldly. She didn't say that when she drew cakes for him.
Nalan Jing wanted to say something, and something flashed through her mind. She looked at Rong Xuan: "If they did have more than 200,000 soldiers in their hands, why didn't they rebel?"
Gu Bai also looked at Rong Xuan. He started hoarding soldiers more than ten years ago, but he was slow to rebel. He must be afraid of something. What are they afraid of?
Rong Xuan might have guessed it a long time ago. At this moment, he said calmly: "It is rumored that the late emperor had secretly raised the army of dead soldiers when he was alive. When the late emperor was seriously ill, the emperor was young and the army of dead soldiers was handed over to the eldest princess. As for how many people there were in that army of dead soldiers and where it was, no one knew."
I see……
Nalan Jing and Gu Bai suddenly realized their thoughts.
Nalanjing also eased a bit. The situation was not too bad, but there was still room for improvement.
She sat up again, looked at Gu Bai and Rong Xuan, and said seriously: "Next, let's discuss how to defeat Liu Xiang and Zhenbeihou..."
Gu Bai: "..."
He thought that this woman could go to preach. Why did he believe it at the beginning?
Now that I have boarded the pirate ship, is it still time to get off the ship?
Just as he was in a daze, he suddenly heard Nalan Jing say in a shocking voice: "Why should we find an opportunity to be Liu Xiang first?"
Zhenbei Hou was in charge of the army, how could Liu Xiang be completely relieved? There must be his own confidants in the army. Once Liu Xiang dies, who will benefit the most? Of course, Zhenbei Hou.
Once they set up an inner bar, they have the opportunity to take advantage of it.
“…”
There are many masters around Liu Xiang, who can kill if you want, and the late emperor will not find another way to train the army of dead soldiers.
"Or, kill Mrs. Liu, Master Liu?" Nalan Jing thought of another way.
The more Nalan Jing thought about it, the more he felt that the plan was good, and he said with great enthusiasm: "Think about Liu Xiang and Zhenbei Hou are uncles. The one who can stabilize this relationship is Mrs. Liu who is firmly sitting in the back house of Liu Mansion, and the unshakable Master Liu. Once something happens to them, Zhenbei Hou will definitely be dissatisfied, and Liu Xiang will definitely be prepared. How can they rebel in this situation?"
After hearing this, Gu Bai moved his mind and stretched out his flawless hand to touch his chin, falling into deep thoughts.
Rong Xuan, who had been calm in his face, nodded: "It's feasible!"
Seeing that he agreed, Nalan Jing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and patted Gu Bai's shoulder hard.
Gu Bai was shocked, and Nalan Jing almost sent him away with this palm.
"What are you thinking about? Return to your soul, let you do something." Nalan Jing.
"..." Gu Bai clenched his fist with one hand, held the knife with the other hand, feeling a line of sight...
His clenched fists loosened, and the knife returned to the scabbard, looking at Nalan Jing with a blank expression: "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"...", Nalan Jing: It turns out that he was the first person in the court to identify current affairs, commander and commander.
After Nalan Jing and Rong Xuan discussed, they returned to Princess Street and it was almost dawn.
Back in the house of the two, Nalan Jing could no longer hold on to sleep and fell into Rong Xuan's arms and fell asleep.
Rong Xuan put his waist on her waist, fell down a kiss, and carefully covered her with the other hand, and then he fell asleep with peace of mind.
Both of them woke up at noon, and when the people in the mansion saw that they woke up, they served food.
The two of them had a simple lunch. Just as they were about to go out, Aunt Lin came over.
It turned out that the eldest princess had a cold recently and an imperial physician came to the palace, but she had not recovered for a long time. She wanted to ask Nalan Jing to take a look.
Nalan Jing would refuse. After understanding the situation in the Southern Chu Dynasty, the mighty Hou Hou was 200,000 soldiers, the King of Xinyang went to Jing for 50,000 soldiers, and the army of dead soldiers were all in the hands of the eldest princess. Who else was thicker than her thighs?
Without Aunt Lin’s reminder, Rong Xuan followed him consciously.
Although he lives next door, it was Rong Xuan and Nalan Jing's first time in Princess Nanwu's Mansion.
The Princess Nanwu Palace was built by the late emperor, and the specifications were for the best prince. However, its style was not a magnificent luxury, but a natural scenery like a fairyland. The water and smoke were flowing under the small bridge; the pines in Huangshan Mountain were lush and their branches grew winding like dragons, with majestic charm and simple and vigorous; the fairy danced in the green jade mural, with graceful dances between her fingers, and there was a lively spring under her fingers, with dingdong and dingdong sounds, and the beautiful scenes were overwhelming.
Aunt Lin took them directly to the eldest princess' courtyard.
When they arrived, the eldest princess was reading a book. When she saw them coming in, she asked them to sit down on the side.
