"Sister, what are you talking about? How can I accept other people's things? I just feel that the prince and Li Yi'an have the upper hand, so I feel
Lu Shang looked at the confused look in the eyes of the disheartened younger brother, and immediately angrily said, "don't lie to me. I don't know your character. You never care about things in the court. Why do you suddenly care about it this time?"
Lu Niucheng was suddenly speechless and hesitated.
"Lv Niucheng, if you don't tell the truth, I'll tell your father!" Wang Zhong frowned and said.
"Ah, no, no..."
The main reason why Lu Niucheng can be taught to be so timid is that his father Lu Bai is strict.
Lu Bai's educational method is to be strict, not obedient, not learning to fight, in short, fight if it's wrong.
As a result, LV Niucheng was afraid of hands and feet when doing anything. For LV Shang, LV Bai was not so strict. In his words, his daughter learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, could read and read, and didn't need to be too excellent.
From childhood to childhood, Lu Niucheng was most afraid of his father, Lu Bai. When he heard what his sister said and told his father about it, he was in a hurry.
"Then you are not honest." Lu Shang's impatience defeated the evil way.
"This... OK."
LV Niucheng had no choice but to tell the truth.
Sure enough, LV Niucheng took advantage of the prince.
Just recently, someone gave him a whole box of gold and silver, plus two women specially trained in the palace to serve men.
Lu Niu didn't care much about this box of gold and silver, but after seeing two women, he was suddenly excited.
So in a moment of confusion, he accepted these gifts.
"Hey, you... What do you want me to say!" Hearing what his brother said, LV Shang was so angry that his face turned red.
"What do you want me to say about you? It's not easy to stand in line for such a thing, but you actually......"
"Sister, brother-in-law, in fact, the prince is originally the first heir. Moreover, the most powerful eunuch Li Yi'an still helps him. The prince is sure to win. We can help him in advance and get benefits at that time!" Lu Niu became anxious and hurriedly explained.
After the explanation, Lu Niucheng was even a little complacent.
What he thought was really right. Although standing in line slowly can better see which of the two factions is stronger and which is weaker, standing in line in advance, as long as the crown prince wins, they are great heroes, and they all have more benefits.
He used to think that his brother-in-law Su San was very powerful and capable, but how could he be so timid in this matter?
Wang Chong listened and sneered: "at this time, you still want to be greedy! Yes, when the former Emperor was still alive, Li Yi'an was indeed very powerful and solved many enemies, but he also made many enemies. At this time, the two factions were fighting, and it seemed that the two factions were evenly matched, but Li Yi'an's enemies would certainly kill him while he was ill. Have you thought about this?"
Wang Chong's words cooled LV Niucheng's heart.
Yes, the world knows that Li Yi'an, relying on the favor of the former Emperor, unscrupulously plundered the wealth of the people, attacked dissidents, and harmed many people, many of whom hated him to the bone.
Now, the first emperor died, and no one covered him.
Most of the power is concentrated on the queen. If those opponents of Li Yi'an don't support the queen at this time, they don't have to mix up. They just go home and farm.
"Sister... Brother in law, what should I do now?"
LV Niucheng, who figured it out, was terrified.
"Don't worry. Fortunately, the mountains here are high and the emperor is far away. They can't manage here for the time being, and they can't order us. But Li Yi'an will certainly publicize with them in order to show that there are many people who support them. At that time, we will be the enemy with the queen, so we will also take the things from the queen."
"Er... Take it at both ends?" LV Niucheng was stunned.
"Yes, after taking it, we directly publicize it to thank them for giving gifts, and use the same specifications to return gifts."
"The husband's method is really good. In this way, we can clearly tell them that we won't help each other or take advantage of them. No matter who succeeds at that time, it's hard to say anything."
LV Shang suddenly figured this out and said in surprise.
"Well, but we should also be careful that the personnel in the imperial court will get in trouble with us, so the top priority is to strengthen our own strength."
Wang Zhong said lightly. It can be said that he now has absolute capital to start a rebellion.
He had guns, cannons and a lot of silver in his hand. Although there were not many soldiers, he had hot weapons in his hand. The number of troops was never a problem.
It can be said that once he started a rebellion, there was no pressure.
But he didn't want to.
Now their family's life has been very good. There is no need to compete for power and profit. It's better to spend more time with their family.
Later, under the arrangement of Wang Zhong, he received gifts from the queen.
After a day, Wang Zhong prepared a heavy gift in return.
The forces on both sides have their own eyeliner. Knowing that both sides of Wang Chong responded, they all analyzed that Wang Chong didn't want to stand in line.
In that case, they agreed that it was not good to force, so as not to force the king into an enemy again.
A month later, Li Yi'an was killed by a killer when he was outside.
Although the killer was caught, it is said that Zhongliang, who was murdered by Li Yi'an before, came to him for revenge.
Once Li Yi'an died, the prince lost his right-hand man, and his power was greatly reduced. Ten days later, the prince was given poisonous wine by the queen, and died suddenly.
As for the queen mother of the crown prince, she was also put in the cold palace, and finally allegedly hanged to death.
When the news reached Micheng, Lu Niucheng was scared and tossed all night.
At the beginning, if it weren't for Wang Zhong, he would have received the heavy gift from the prince and become the running dog of the prince, right?
Now that the prince's strength has collapsed, he must not escape the end of liquidation.
Fortunately, Wang Zhong ended the trouble for him, and he was afraid to think about it.
Subconsciously, he hugged the two girls sent by the Prince: "don't be afraid, I'll protect you later."
"Well, thank you, Lord Lu."
Two girls Jiao didi said.
LV Niucheng felt refreshed. From then on, he didn't care about things in the city and lived with a beautiful woman in his arms.
…………………………
The happy days didn't last long. Unexpectedly, the new Emperor didn't get a firm foothold. There were harassment from neighboring countries at the border, and two cities were suddenly occupied.
As a result, the imperial court can only call up soldiers and go to support.
Wang Chong was too far away from that illness, which had no impact for the time being, but in case, Wang Chong began to expand his army.
Now, based on Micheng, he recruited people from surrounding cities to work. In just a few years, Micheng has become the top three big city in the country, with a development momentum that faintly surpasses that of the imperial capital.
However, at the moment, it is obviously too late for the imperial court to take into account Wang Zhong, and it is trying its best to eliminate the border problems.
Three years later, the imperial court is still going all out to fight against the enemy country, and on the side of Micheng, LV Bai is no longer able to do so.
"Dad, Dad..."
Lu Shang and Lu Niucheng knelt on the bed, crying bitterly.
"I can't do it anymore. You remember, this rice city is the root of our Lu family. We should manage it well, especially you Niu Cheng. Listen to your brother-in-law......"
Lu Bai spoke hard, and then looked at Wang Chong on the side.
"Father in law." Wang Chong came over.
"Su San..."
Lu Bai looked at Wang Zhong complicatedly and whispered, "you've worked hard."
"You're welcome." Wang Zhong sighed.
"My son Niu Cheng, please take care of him. What's wrong with him? You must educate him well."
LV Bai is a smart man. He knows that his son is useless. He will cause big trouble sooner or later when he manages the city of rice.
Now Wang Chong is the king here. If Lu Niucheng offends Wang Chong, he is looking for death.
Even if Lu Shang is Wang Zhong's wife, in Lu Bai's view, compared with women, normal people will choose rights, right?
"I know, you have a good rest."
Wang Zhong nodded silently. At the moment, he couldn't say anything.
LV Bai gave up his mind, and his arm slowly dropped.
LV Bai left.
After Lu Bai left, today's Saint came to mourn in person.
Originally, it was not qualified to be LV Bai, but who makes Micheng so powerful now?
And there is also an important thing to talk about.
After finishing the funeral, the emperor sun CE found Wang Zhong and sought financial support.
In recent years, years of war, the National Treasury is empty and internal friction is serious, which can not be supported for a long time.
... he has removed two marshals. If he continues, he is worried about instability.
Once people are unstable, I'm afraid they will continue to lose the city.
So this time, he wanted to seek the support of Wang Chong. He knew that the rice city led by Wang Chong was now very strong.
"Su Aiqing, I became the king of a country. I originally wanted to make a good life for the country and the people, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thorny thing as soon as I took over. Su Aiqing, I know you have a strong army under your hand, and I hope you can help me..."
As the king of a country, being able to speak to Wang Chong in such a low voice also shows that the emperor has no confidence.
"Yes."
Wang Zhong promised sun CE's request without nonsense.
Sun CE lives in the city master's mansion these days. Secretly, the king rearranged the rats to monitor him.
First, I want to see what sun CE is up to. If sun CE is on guard against him, he can consider rebellion. Anyway, he is qualified.
The second is to see whether sun CE is a fool or an ambitious person.
If you are confused, Wang Chong doesn't intend to keep him.
Fortunately, under his observation, sun CE is also an ambitious person. Although he is worried about him, he still hopes to get along harmoniously.
After knowing sun CE's general character, Wang Zhong decided to help him.
So Wang Chong donated a large sum of money and worked out several ways for sun.
When neighboring countries come to fight, it will be a long way, and the consumption must be great.
Therefore, in the case of the opponent's momentum, it is not appropriate to fight head-on, but to cut off his food and grass.
Reminded by Wang Zhong, sun CE shouted that this method was good.
Wang Zhong was also a little speechless. They didn't expect such a simple way. It seems that those Grand Marshals of the unified army before were really not very good.
