Volume Four, Three Southern Counties, Chapter 411, Take a Step by Step
"I'll do it immediately!"
Luo Yidao regretted bringing this up in front of Lu Jiuzhang.
But at that time, the new emperor said that he could treat Lu Jiuzhang as one of his own, and everything after that would be at Lu Jiuzhang's command.
Luo Yidao didn't think much about it!
"Go ahead and wait for your triumphant return!"
Lu Jiuzhang said happily.
After Luo Yidao left, Lu Jiuzhang clenched his hands. What was the new emperor's treasury? That was his Lu Jiuzhang's treasury!
What kind of secret guard of the new emperor!
Those are his secret guards, Lu Jiuzhang!
Sooner or later, they will all be deceived!
Everything is in my own hands, I want to hand it over and dream!
Lu Jiuzhang was sitting in the tent with his legs crossed, thinking constantly in his mind.
"Captain Lu!"
Peng Qiang's voice sounded outside.
"come in!"
Lu Jiuzhang said.
After a while, Peng Qiang walked in exhausted, "Li Zhi from Shuizhou County is coming soon with his army. They are expected to arrive under the city wall of Yiyun County early tomorrow morning at the latest!"
"The other party traveled a long distance, and most of them were stragglers. When they set off from Shuizhou County, they claimed to have an army of 100,000, but now it is estimated that there are less than 80,000 left."
After traveling a long distance, most of the soldiers fled.
Later, it was only after Li engaged in beheading some of the soldiers that the trend of desertion was curbed.
But there are still people who continue to take advantage of the loopholes and escape from the team.
"This 80,000-strong army is easy to deal with. The problem is the relic sect standing behind Li Zhong." Lu Jiuzhang said solemnly, "And there are strong men in the sect. Except for the second uncle Luo Fusheng, there are no very powerful warriors around us.
!”
Luo Fusheng is only at the peak of the second level of martial arts.
If the opponent has a first-level martial arts expert, it will be really difficult to deal with them.
If there are strong men with first-level martial arts on both sides, maybe the strong ones will not take action and will just let the people below fight against each other.
But if there is no strong person on Lu Jiuzhang's side, the other party may not be polite and push him directly.
"Step by step!"
Lu Jiuzhang looked at the Jingzhao Mansion in the north, "The newly enthroned Emperor Chang'an should know what is going on here, but he has not sent any strong men to take charge."
It seems that they think Lu Jiuzhang is the new emperor, and there is some resentment.
Therefore, now Lu Jiuzhang is left to fend for himself, even if he is wiped out by the rebels in Shuizhou County, it doesn't matter.
But Lu Jiuzhang had some doubts. The geographical location of Yiyun County was quite critical.
If Yiyun County is allowed to be occupied, it may not be easy to take it back in the future.
…
Jingzhao Mansion.
Changing dynasties is the most prone to bloodshed.
But this time there wasn’t much movement!
Just to make it clear to the people in the palace, all the eunuchs and maids who used to be around the new emperor Zhou Yao were dismissed.
Some of his personal servants were interrogated and finally sentenced to death.
These people are not suitable to stay in the palace anymore.
Emperor Chang'an moved all the people in his palace here.
The original princess has now transformed into a queen.
"Your Majesty, the ancestor of the Zhao family wants to see you!"
Zhou Qian was sitting on the dragon chair, with the eunuchs reporting below.
"That Zhao family?"
"That Zhao family in Qianji Tower! The ancestor of the Zhao family is very anxious, and he also said that he hopes to see His Majesty tonight and report something important." The eunuch said.
"Call him in, I want to see what he's up to!" Zhou Qian said.
Zhou Qian still had some impression of the Zhao family in Qianjilou.
When Zhou Yao wanted to take back control of Qianji Tower, the Zhao family of Qianji Tower was the first to surrender, and Zhou Yao did control half of the power of Qianji Tower.
If Zhou Yao is given some more time, I'm afraid she can really take all the properties of Qian Ji Tower into her own pocket.
This was the largest industry in the Zhou Dynasty, and its annual net profit was greater than the annual payment of the Zhou Dynasty!
It's just a pity that Zhou Yao hastily stepped down before he could realize his great achievements.
Zhou Qian also wanted to take Qianji Tower into his pocket, but it was too difficult!
They have been sorting things out for the past two days, but the Zhao family has been spared.
In the final analysis, the Zhao family is too small to be worthy of his concern!
After the tea time, the ancestor of the Zhao family walked into the main hall. When he saw Zhou Qian, the ancestor of the Zhao family quickly bowed his head and said, "Greetings to your majesty, I am confused!"
"I did a lot of stupid things before, but it wasn't until these two days that I realized that everything I did was wrong!"
He took refuge in Zhou Yao, but who knew that Zhou Yao was now under house arrest!
The ancestor of the Zhao family did not want to be so groveling, but behind him was the ancestral line of the Zhao family, with hundreds or even thousands of people in the branches.
These people are the foundation of the Zhao family!
Now that Zhou Qian has succeeded to the throne, if things are not handled properly, tens of millions of people may rush to the execution ground tomorrow.
"Oh? You said you were confused?"
Zhou Qian was very interested, "Then what do you think of Zhou Yao? I want to hear it!"
"Back to Your Majesty, in the two years since Zhou Yao took the throne, the people have been devastated, and wars at the border have resumed. There have been many changes in the territory, including natural and man-made disasters! Forgive me for speaking frankly, she is not worthy of being an emperor, and is not one percent as good as you, Your Majesty!"
The ancestor of the Zhao family began to flatter him.
"How dare you slander my imperial sister like this!" Zhou Qian scolded angrily, "Do you know your guilt?"
"Your Majesty, I am guilty, old man. Old man, I am willing to give up all my family wealth, a total of eighty-seven million taels of gold." The ancestor of the Zhao family said, "I hope your majesty will spare my life!"
Instead of confiscating the nearly 90 million taels of gold from the national treasury, the Zhao family's children rushed to the execution ground.
Might as well take it out now!
Hope to win a glimmer of hope.
"Old Ancestor Zhao, I remember that you are at the second level of martial arts, right?"
Zhou Qian was still very satisfied with this move of the ancestor of the Zhao family. He smiled and said, "You still have some strength, and now you are so aware of current affairs, why not serve me?"
Ever since the ancestor of the Zhao family began to slander the previous emperor Zhou Yao, the newly enthroned Emperor Chang'an felt a little happy.
That Zhou Yao is just a prostitute.
How can you compare with yourself?
"Your Majesty, I am already old." The ancestor of the Zhao family wanted to refuse.
He spent so much money just to settle the matter and withdraw from Jingzhao Mansion.
This is a place of right and wrong, and you should not stay for a long time!
"Hahaha, it seems you don't want to anymore?"
Zhou Gan smiled and said, "It's okay, I won't force you!"
The Chang'an Emperor said he was not forcing himself, but the ancestor of the Zhao family was shocked, "No, it would be great if I could get a job from His Majesty."
"You have this consciousness, it is worth all my efforts." Zhou Qian said, "I am also quite interested in the Thousand Machine Tower. From now on, you will be my chess piece in charge of the Thousand Machine Tower."
"I'll finish what Zhou Yao didn't finish!"
"I am determined to bring Qianji Tower under my command. You will be indispensable when the time comes, and I will definitely reward you according to your merits!"
"As for the eighty-seven million taels of gold, since you gave it to me, it would be a bit unkind for me not to accept it. So, I accept the eighty-seven million taels with a smile, and the remaining seven million taels of gold , you take it back!”
