Chapter 709: Preparing to go south
Liu Yuanqiao is a truly powerful character. No matter from any aspect, others will evaluate it as a real strongman.
When he was a young man, he was a famous hero. After returning to inherit his family business, he quickly expanded the power of the Liu family to all Shandong and became a famous family.
Before Liu Yuanqiao, people only knew that the Liu family in the Linqing was rich, and there was never a saying that the Liu family in the Linqing was richest. When he took this position, he became the Liu family in the Linqing, and was richest all over the world.
Moreover, their relationship with the court was handled very well. His position has always been on the inner court route, and he transported enough silver to the inner court every year, continuously transporting it to the inner court, so that everyone can get along well.
It was not until the Chongzhen Dynasty that the emperor did not trust eunuchs, did not trust the harem, and restricted his rights in this regard, which weakened him. However, this was not without such a thing. Liu Yuanqiao changed his course and did not make money in the officialdom, but instead used his privileges to do business and make money, but instead made more money.
The Liu family army is now so powerful that everyone knows that he is the master of the Liu family army. There is no doubt about this. Now that the Liu family army is sweeping the world and sweeping all directions, it is time for him to go to Nanjing.
On the way, he and his son Liu Bu passed on letters from each other, and they also exchanged opinions. They decided that after he went there, he would ascend the throne and become emperor. When he was the emperor, he even thought about the title of the country, which was the Chinese Empire and the Chinese Empire.
Liu Yuanqiao will be the world-famous Emperor Taizu of the Chinese Empire. At this point, this is the most glorious and proudest moment in his life.
When Liu Yuanqiao passed by Dengzhou, he invited many of his friends, old friends and fellow servants to Nanjing together to witness this glorious moment.
He had a plan. When he arrived in Nanjing and built the palace, he would officially ascend the throne and become emperor. Liu Yuanqiao never thought that one thing he would become emperor one day, but from this moment on, he would have to be properly not, and there was no other choice.
If he had so many friends and old friends around him when he ascended the throne, shaking flags and shouting and blessings for him, he would be happier and more fulfilled, like returning home from a rich hometown.
In fact, what he hopes most is that Jingyun Gong, whom he regards as his teacher, is next to him, helping him to ascend the throne with his help. If the other party is willing to do this, it doesn't matter that even if he is granted the position of national teacher.
But he knew Jingyun Gong's loyalty and ruthlessness, and he would have been fine if he didn't scold you for your eighteen generations of ancestors, and he also hoped that he would congratulate you and wish you blessings. This was impossible.
As expected, Jingyun Gong really wanted to be a monster at a critical moment. Fortunately, the intelligence department responded quickly. His grandson Wang Gengdu was very clear about the righteousness, which made a disaster disappear invisible. So this shocked Liu Yuanqiao and he was sweating in a cold sweat. Therefore, he decided to reward Wang Gengdu with great rewards, making him a vain and disabled person, serving as the county magistrate of the place.
This is the benefit of being superior and taking over power. If he was an official in the Ming Dynasty, if he wanted to appoint an official, he had to go through many processes and had to go through the Ministry of Personnel, and all of this was established and approved before allowing it.
The court always has the rules of the court when employed people. This means that one must have a fame and fortune to be awarded a good official. If not, it is quite difficult. If he does not have it, it is impossible to get the appointment of the court like him.
But now it is different. He doesn't miss the court and works alone. With a command, people around him will naturally serve and arrange for him. Wang Gengdu immediately changed from a white dick to a magistrate of Linzi County.
Liu Yuanqiao passed Dengzhou and did not enter his governor's yamen, but went straight to the wharf, where a warship had already been moored, responsible for picking them up here.
In addition to Liu Yuanqiao, his mother, Lord Lao Fo, and his wife, Kong, and their two daughters-in-law and granddaughter were also among them.
The so-called granddaughter was naturally born to Liu Bu's second wife Chen Yuanyuan. When Liu Bu conquered Nanjing, Chen Yuanyuan was pregnant for ten months and finally gave birth to a daughter, which was Liu Bu's eldest daughter.
It is also considered to be the fourth generation of the Liu family. The Liu family is now known as a prosperous population. Unlike his ancestors, they are all not connected. Liu Yuanqiao's wife Kong is pregnant, and now his eldest daughter-in-law Zheng is also pregnant. If he can give birth to a male, that would be great.
In fact, Chen Yuanyuan was still very nervous when she was pregnant for ten months. Riyue was worried and afraid. She knew that Zheng Zining, the eldest wife, was a powerful character, completely crushing him from all aspects.
Compared with Zheng Zining, Chen Yuanyuan and Zheng Zining had nothing but beauty and Liu Bu's favor, but she also knew that Liu Bu was not raising his head in front of Zheng. It is said that he often obeyed orders and had a low attitude, because the Zheng family's strength was too strong and helped the Liu family too much. He had always been worried that he would threaten the other party and choked to death in the cesspool by the other party.
If you gave birth to a son, it would be good. I am afraid that the other party would be regarded as a thorn in the eyes. Both mother and son would not have a good ending. Fortunately, the Bodhisattva responded to her prayer. After giving birth to a daughter, he would not have any threat to the eldest son.
Chen Yuanyuan is also a smart person. She knew that if she wanted to live in the backyard of the Liu family, she had to keep a low profile and not argue with the eldest son. If the other party was unhappy and wanted to mess with her, it was just a matter of one word. It was not difficult to kill the mother and son. Giving a daughter was a real good thing for her. He was very happy, but he was worried that Liu Bu would not like it.
These days, people generally prefer boys over girls. When everyone goes to temples to worship gods and Buddhas, they always seek to have a son, but they will not seek to have a daughter. She gave birth to a daughter with her first child, and I wonder if she will be disliked by Liu Bu.
It is hard to say whether Liu Bu is disgusted or not, but Lord Lafayette really does not disgusted. Since Chen Yuanyuan gave birth to a daughter, Lord Lafayette has been very happy and sent a large number of gifts to her room.
As the first child of the fourth generation of the Liu family, this is full of love. Lao Fu personally ordered people to keep the child next to her and take care of and raise him.
I guess Mr. Lao Fu was also worried about this, just because he was afraid that this powerful house would be unhappy and unhappy, so he would choke the child to death in the cesspool.
After hearing that Liu Bu successfully conquered Nanjing, the Liu family jumped into the royal family. They went south without stopping, preparing to enter Nanjing and enter the palace.
Even if Chen Yuanyuan is sitting in confinement now, she has to go south with everyone, because this is the most glorious and glorious moment for the Liu family. If she doesn't go with her, she will probably be squeezed out.
Of course, she didn't have to rush on her own, but sat in a carriage equipped with a stove and a warm spring. There were army guarding her along the way and countless servants were taking care of her, so she was quite safe.
After Liu Yuanqiao entered Dengzhou Pier, he immediately began to meet these local officials and powerful people, making an appointment to not forget each other if they are rich and noble! He also invited these people to go south together to witness the highlight of his ascension to the throne.
This place in Shandong is a bit special. He can produce sages like Confucius and Saint Meng, but it seems that there has never been an emperor in Shandong. If this trip can be accomplished, Liu Yuanqiao will become the first emperor in Shandong, which is of great significance.
The local officials and powerful people were basically tied to Liu Yuanqiao. Both sides were prospering and losing. The Liu family took Nanjing. This was a great thing. Liu Yuanqiao invited them to go south and ascend the throne together. These people were also happy and very happy, and immediately agreed to accompany them.
Because they knew that if they followed, they would be the Dragon Minister. Even if they couldn't make a job, the reward would be inevitable. They would pack their luggage immediately and start boarding the ship.
The person in charge of this escort operation was Li Tangde, one of the three powerful generals under Zheng Zining. He was originally responsible for escorting the south. After taking down Nanjing City, he was quickly ordered to take a boat north and prepare to escort the old master's family south. Even if the old master decided not to take a boat south, he could transport a batch of supplies here to go south.
Li Tangde is Zheng Zining's subordinate and has always been following Zheng Zining. However, after Zheng Zining became pregnant, he basically ignored the matter of the fleet. He divided his fleet into three parts, which were controlled by the three fierce generals. Among the three fierce generals, another female general Ziqing, and Liu Bu's third wife, are now commanding the fleet, advancing west along the Yangtze River and harassing all parts of the Yangtze River.
Zheng Zining couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when she saw that she had missed so many good shows when she was pregnant. She touched her stomach and said, "You'd better be a son. If you're a daughter, let's see how my mother dealt with you."
Chen Yuanyuan is under pressure, Zheng Zining is under pressure, and even Zheng Zining is under pressure. As the eldest daughter-in-law of the Liu family, if she can no longer give birth to a man and half a woman for the Liu family, the pressure on her body will be just as great, and her status cannot be guaranteed.
Originally, I only thought that the Liu family was a local tyrant, but eventually it would become a giant clan. Who knew that it would become a royal clan. This pressure was even greater. Since ancient times, it was the most ruthless imperial family. If I wanted to gain a foothold in the imperial family without descendants, it would be impossible. No one could win the battle for the emperor's harem without descendants.
