Chapter 070: The Greedy Wolf Plan begins to expand
But your Tianchu Mansion and Tianchu Kingdom, no matter how independent and independent you are, in the final analysis, you are just a province and a vassal state of the Celestial Empire.
For major events like the funeral of the former emperor and the enthronement of the new emperor, you do whatever you want to do, because you still count on the state's salary and appropriation to support you.
Even Prince Jing and Tianchu Kingdom, who are not very keen to see the sharp edge, should come to watch the ceremony this time. At the very least, they must appoint a second-in-command or third-in-command!
The news of the new emperor's enthronement was indeed sent to Zhenfan City, the capital of Tianchu Kingdom, as soon as possible, and Jingtai did reply. The people in their office in the imperial city even gave the customary reward to the messenger.
, but when the time came, everyone was gone!
Not only did they not come, but all the staff from the Beijing Office ran away overnight, leaving not even a single coin behind.
As soon as the emperor ascended the throne, not a single person from the Tianchu Kingdom showed up. The three major passes of the Great Wall were subordinates of the Tianchu Kingdom. If Jingtai didn't come, let alone others.
When Emperor Shangru ascended the throne, all he wanted was for all nations to come and surrender. At this juncture of dynasty change, Wang Jingtai, the prince of the Tianchu Kingdom, should have gone up to the pole to curry favor with Emperor Shangru. But he didn't come, why?
Emperor Shang Ru, who knows a little bit about the inside story, although he doesn't know the Tianchu Kingdom very well, is much better than these corrupt officials and the prince's party who can't do anything well and don't have enough to eat.
Emperor Shang Ru asked immediately after finishing his business, and then he realized that everything was a great gift left for him in private by his damn brother, or rather by the princelings under the prince!
In fact, it is right or wrong to place the blame on the prince, because all matters related to Tianchu Mansion were done by the prince's family, intentionally or unintentionally, behind the prince's back and secretly working together.
After Emperor Shang Ru deeply understood these dirty details, he understood better why King Jingtai of Tianchu Kingdom did not come. With these mortal enemies around, he would not dare to come even if you asked him to come!
Jingtai was really not afraid of what Emperor Shang Ru would do to him, but because the original prince's party had surrendered to the new emperor, and the King of Hell was so troublesome that he was afraid of these people.
What's even more frightening is that in fact, Emperor Shang Ru will not offend most of the bureaucrats in the court because of Jingtai, especially when he is still not firmly established! And these people really will not let Jingtai come back.
, they will definitely try their best to take down the Jingtai family, even if they are broken into pieces.
The conflict between Jingtai and the court is irreconcilable, because it involves a huge amount of money, an astronomical figure. Even if these bureaucratic parties are killed, they will not be able to fill the gap in the Tianchu Kingdom!
The Shangguo of the Celestial Dynasty was in Dongzhou, and for thousands of years people from all directions came to congratulate him. They were rich from top to bottom. This made people become more and more corrupt, and at the same time, they also became more and more arrogant, extravagant, and arrogant.
The third prince Shang Ru is a master of martial arts. He knows very well that these things are done by the people in front of him, but besides being angry, he really can't take out his anger on these people. Everything is blamed on one word: money! Everything is caused by money.
!
A good thing has turned into shit for these rotten people. Fortunately, this matter is not irreversible, it is money! As long as it can be solved with money, it is not a problem for Emperor Shang Ru. Who is it?
He is rich, really rich, so rich that he doesn’t even know how to spend it!
Instead of 300,000 yuan a year, let’s calculate it as 500,000 yuan, plus the filial piety money offered by Tianchu Kingdom over the years, it’s 1.8 million yuan in three years, which is as good as the emperor’s contribution. Two million yuan is not needed.
Counteroffer!
Thinking of the way Jingtai cried bitterly and showed gratitude after getting the money, Shangru the Great Emperor was elated and full of ambition. He thought to himself that this is the style of an emperor! After writing the imperial edict and arranging everything, Shangru the Great Emperor stood up and said:
"Tell them to get ready, I'm going to fuck ten of them tonight!"
But before Emperor Shang Ru had even left the table, the Chief Sima of the Military Aircraft Department came running over with his white hair and court clothes swung around, regardless of etiquette.
As he ran, the old man held up a military newspaper in his hand and shouted: "The Great Wall is lost, the Great Wall is lost, the Great Wall is lost!"
Emperor Shang Ru was also shocked when he heard this. He turned over the table and jumped over. He immediately grabbed the messy robe and yelled: "Where was it lost? Where? Which level on the Great Wall was it? It couldn't be the third level.
Which one of the big passes?"
"Everything has been lost! Including the three major passes, the entire Great Wall has been lost!" Da Sima took a few breaths, straightened up and continued: "When the Tianchu Kingdom sent this military report, the Savage Iron Cavalry was already approaching Yanfan City."
Da Sima calmed down and said: "If I guessed correctly, the Savage Iron Cavalry has either captured Zhenfan City at this moment, or has bypassed the city and has broken out of the territory of Tianchu Kingdom and entered our interior!
"
"Will they kill us?" Emperor Shang Ru indeed grasped the key point at once, but at the same time it also highlighted his timidity: "Is the Imperial City of God still safe? Do we need soldiers and horses from all over the country to serve the king?
Is it too late for King Qin? Should we consider moving the capital or something—"
Compared to the emperor's panic, Da Sima calmed down. He straightened his back and said calmly: "The wild iron cavalry is suitable for the open plains in the north. Not to mention our prosperous inland, they even have the fortress in the south of Tianchu Kingdom.
It's not easy to ride in Sheung Shui Township.
Besides, even if they rushed into the Great Wall by surprise, I believe that the strength of the Three Great Passes and the defenders of the Great Wall are still there. When these forces come back to deal with them, they should be afraid!"
How pitiful, the big Sima with his fixed mindset was wrong. His mistake was so abnormal and outrageous that he still didn't know the news that even the front, center and junglers were dead.
In fact, everyone has overlooked one of the most important things, that is, the news about the imperial court and Da Sima came from Tianchu Kingdom or Jingtai, and the news was extremely single and closed.
In fact, in addition to the imperial court in the Imperial City of God, many people in many places also received urgent documents from the Tianchu Kingdom.
As long as a caring person looks carefully, he will find that Jingtai has ulterior motives, because he actually took the opportunity to deliberately spread the news, how the Chinese bureaucrats suppressed their Tianchu Kingdom, how those corrupt officials used the funds for the Great Wall, and other messy things to finally bring disaster to the country and the people.
bring about misfortune.
The entire official military of the Shang Kingdom of the Celestial Dynasty was immediately filled with indignation when they learned that it was the imperial court that had driven the Tianchu Kingdom to a dead end, stabbing the Tianchu Kingdom in the back like a knife in the back, forcing the Three Great Passes to fall and the Great Wall to fall.
.
This situation is as dark as crows in the world, and everyone feels the same. Many people sympathize with Tianchu Kingdom, and even want to imitate Jingtai.
