While camping at night, Qin Hao came to Cheng Shi's tent. Cheng Shi didn't pay attention at first, just thinking that Qin Hao came to talk to him about his parents.
"Father-in-law, this trip is dangerous, remember not to trust anyone." Qin Hao warned in a deep voice.
Cheng Shi was slightly stunned, glanced outside the camp, and whispered, "You mean, Tongniu County is going to rebel."
Qin Hao explained, "Beware of others." It is essential that Ling Buyi and I go to Shouchun this time to change our defenses, just to deter the Wang family. Tongniu County is so close to Shouchun, so there is no guarantee that they will not be bribed. Two thousand kilograms of fine copper is not a single person. "It's a small amount."
Cheng Shi's heart tightened, "Well, you are right, don't worry, I will be careful."
Qin Hao suddenly thought of a key figure, Lou Niu. , all of this is ultimately the plan of Lou Niu, the eldest son of the second wife of the Lou family, who is also very resourceful. Unfortunately, he has been suppressed by Taifu Lou and cannot be reused, so he came up with this strategy.
After all, the fifth prince has a shallow foundation. It is still difficult to push the fifth prince to the throne with the power of the Qin family alone. If he can regain Lou Niu, it will be a good helper.
After returning to his camp, Qin Hao wrote a letter and found a confidant to ask him to go to Tongniu County first.
Marching along the way, Qin Hao and Ling Buyi successfully arrived at two small counties twenty miles outside Shouchun City to station themselves. The two armies were at odds with each other. Once there was a change in Shouchun, they could Quickly lay siege to the city and bring the situation under control.
On the day Qin Hao stationed his troops, the Shouchun Wang family sent someone to invite Qin Hao and Ling Buyi to the city for a banquet.
Qin Hao and Ling Buyi both refused because they were busy with military affairs, which also made the Wang family very scared, especially since there were rumors in the court that Emperor Wen was conducting a thorough investigation of bad coins, which was undoubtedly hanging over the Wang family. A sword, no one knows when it will fall.
Humans are very insecure animals, and any danger will be magnified infinitely, not to mention the survival of the family. Who knows whether the Wang family will do something crazy.
"General, bring Lou Niu." The guard bowed and walked into the military tent.
Qin Hao waved his hand and said, "Bring him in."
"No."
Soon a man dressed as a scholar walked in. Qin Hao had only seen The first time Lou Niu was at Tai Fu Lou's fiftieth birthday party, Lou Niu still looked complacent and ambitious at that time, but now he has long lost the high spirits of the past.
"General Qin." Lou Niu looked at Qin Hao anxiously. Seven days ago, a mysterious sergeant came to Tongniu County to find him and said something that scared him to death.
Qin Hao said lightly, "Sit down."
Lou Niu sat down and said nothing, quietly waiting for Qin Hao's next words. In his hand, he had no choice but to take action. However, after waiting for a long time, Qin Hao kept checking the official documents on the eucalyptus table, paying no attention to what he meant.
As time passed by, Lou Niu finally lost his temper and asked in a cold voice, "General Qin?"Since Lou's plan has been thwarted, you might as well just say what you want. "
Qin Haodan glanced at him, "You think too highly of yourself. You are just a white body now. What is there for me to worry about?"
Lou Niu's face turned red for a while. After a while, he could only endure it. This was also where he was confused. With the gap in status between the two, he had Qin Hao at his fingertips. It seemed to be more in Qin Hao's interests to directly expose his conspiracy. p>
Qin Hao put down the bamboo slip in his hand at this time, and then slammed the table: "You are conceited. You feel that your ambitions are suppressed by Taifu Lou and you can't be an official. You have nowhere to display your talents. But if you are really capable, why not If you let the county magistrate go alone, you can at least benefit the other party. Now His Majesty is very thirsty for talents. If you make some achievements, you will definitely win His Majesty's favor. Why waste such time?"
Lou Niu There is no way to refute it. As a person, Lou Niu could have ridiculed him for not knowing the hardships of the world and only talking about empty talk, but Qin Hao was different. He really developed a small remote county into what is now Yizhou within three years. The most prosperous county, this alone makes him feel inferior.
"Idiots like you who think you can rule the country and bring peace to the world after reading a few books, if you are allowed to reach a high position in the future, Empty talk will only harm the country and harm the people."
Lou Niu clenched his hands into fists, and finally couldn't help but retort, "You have been the legitimate son of the Qin family since you were a child, and you grew up in a noble family. You don’t know the hardships of our second room in the building. You don’t understand the frustration of watching your loved ones suffer so much, but you can only break your teeth and swallow it in your stomach.”
“My uncle is obviously qualified. Not good. Just because he is the eldest son, all the resources of the Lou family are tilted towards him. However, my father, who is extremely intelligent and brave, can only work as a small official and die in depression. Is this fair?"
Qin Hao stared at him coldly, "Taifu Lou is indeed hypocritical, stupid, and narrow-minded, but he is just a mediocre person. Even if he holds a high position in the future, he will soon be defeated. But now you are just a mediocre person." With one white body, you can manipulate tens of thousands of people in Tongniu County and even the princes in the court, and you are the real disaster."
"What do you think I should do with you"
Lou Niu's heart skipped a beat, but now that everyone is a slave to me, I have no choice but to appoint him.
"Based on General Qin's failure, all this was done by myself, my second brother. Lou Yao knows nothing about this and asks the general not to involve him."
Qin Hao snorted coldly, "You have a deep love for brothers, but you don't know about your married wife."
< p> Lou Niu fell to his knees with a plop, "This matter is none of Yanji's business, please give me some mercy, general." "Qin Hao sneered, "You have to protect your younger brother, and you have to protect your wife. Are you overestimating yourself?"
"As long as the general doesn't hurt them, Lou Niu This life was sold to the general, even if he went up to the sword mountain or went to the oil pan without hesitation." Lou Niu was not stupid. If Qin Hao really wanted to kill him, he would have done it long ago. There was no need to waste such words.
QinHao glanced noncommittally, "Sure enough, bad guys are all smart people, but I still want to give you a piece of advice. Don't be smart and be fooled by your cleverness. It will bring disaster to your family."
Finished , Qin Hao waved his hand, "You can follow me as a staff member from now on."
"Thank you, General for your cultivation." Lou Niu knocked his forehead heavily to the ground, and then withdrew.
Putting such an ambitious person next to you will naturally entail some risks. However, Qin Hao is confident enough to be able to suppress Lou Niu and is not afraid of him turning the world upside down. As for loyalty, Qin Hao does not need Lou Niu. Niu's loyalty only depends on his ability to do things and the resources of the entire Lou family behind him in the future.
The aristocratic family has always been the most aware of current affairs. As long as Taifu Lou collapses, the Lou family's few wine bags and rice bags in the main room will not be qualified to compete with Lou Niu for resources. In order to ensure that the family does not decline, the Lou family finally He will definitely stand on Lou Niu's side, which means he will stand on Qin Hao's side.
In Shouchun City, the Wang family is already an ant in the hot pot. Wang Chun seems to be a very cowardly person to the outside world, but in fact, this old guy has a very accurate vision.
At that time, King Lao Qian'an actually wanted to marry his daughter Wen Xiujun to Emperor Wen. It was only because Emperor Wen and Wen Xiujun were cousins that he married his niece to Emperor Wen, who is now Empress Xuan. .
It is a pity that King Lao Qianan later wanted to "start his own business" and become the emperor after the world was peaceful.
Wang Chun knew in advance and informed Emperor Wen of the matter, allowing Emperor Wen to easily put out the rebellion of King Lao Qianan. This shows that Wang Chun is a very independent person.
The culprit of this bad money incident is actually Wen Xiujun. She is focused on her parents' family and wants to restore the glory of the time when King Lao Qianan was alive, but she does not want to think about the serious crime of treason. Emperor Wen did not implicate her and gave her many preferential treatment, which was already a great courtesy.
"Father, why did you imprison your mother?" Wang Yao asked aggressively.
Wang Chun drank one glass after another. He felt uncomfortable after being an old couple for decades, but for the sake of the Wang family's foundation, he could only hand over Wen Xiujun.
"Do you know what crime your mother has committed?"
Wang Jian was still kept in the dark and defended her mother, "Could it be that my father has abandoned us mother and daughter and wants to establish a separate family?" "New love"
Pa, Wang Chun looked at his obsessive daughter in front of him, couldn't help it anymore, slapped her in the face, and cursed angrily.
“You idiot, your mother is planning to rebel. She is going to drag our Wang family into an abyss of eternal destruction, and use the lives of our entire Wang family to fulfill her ambitions. Ling Buyi and Qin Hao are waiting outside Shouchun City The army is just outside Shouchun City. Do you think this is a house between you little girls? If you are not careful, all of us will be buried with your mother."
Wang Yao was fooled. Looking at his father in disbelief, "It's impossible, how could it be possible?"
Wang Chun saw that she still didn't give up, gritted his teeth and said, "You know what your mother is planning. She wants to marry you to General Shouchun." Peng Kun, in exchange for Peng Kun rebelling with her, you are so stupidI still think she is planning for you."
"How could it be possible? It's impossible. "Wang Jian has been pampered since she was a child, and she cannot accept this bloody reality.
Wang Chun escorted Wen Xiujun to Ling Buyi's military camp. At the same time, Peng Kun was relieved Shouchun's defense invited Ling Buyi to take over Shouchun's defense.
Ling Buyi sent someone to discuss with Qin Hao. Qin Hao directly led the army to join forces with Ling Buyi.
p>
"General Wang pushed it clean. "Ling Buyi didn't believe that Wen Xiujun had done so many things in the name of the Wang family, and even involved the third princess. Wang Chun, as the head of the Wang family, didn't know anything about it.
Wang Chun could only hand it over in embarrassment. Apologize "General Ling should know that the relationship between Wen Xiujun and Empress Xuan, she never does anything through me. I have her correspondence here as proof. ”
Qin Hao actually doesn’t believe that Wang Chun knows nothing about Wen Xiujun. He will most likely turn a blind eye. If Wen Xiujun succeeds, he can pick peaches. , if it fails, you can also blame Wen Xiujun. This old fox is so cunning that he can betray his own father-in-law, so it is not surprising that he betrayed his wife.
But the facts are no longer true. It's important. After all, the third princess is also involved. If a thorough investigation is to be carried out, the status of the Yue Concubine will definitely be shaken. This is something Emperor Wen does not want to see. There is a high probability that this incident will not involve the Wang family.
Qin Hao couldn't help but frown slightly as he read a letter between Feng Wenxiujun and Empress Xuan's brother. This would undoubtedly severely damage Empress Xuan's status. Before the third prince was brought down, if the prince fell, It was not a good thing for him.
However, after seeing that the third princess was also involved with the bad money, Qin Hao was relieved. Emperor Wen would probably give him fifty points in this matter. , and then live in peace, with the empress in the palace on one side and childhood sweethearts on the other, let's leave it to Emperor Wen to have a headache.
After Qin Hao and Ling Buyi took over Shouchun's defense, this matter can be regarded as nothing. The impact was kept to a minimum, and even the people of Shouchun did not notice it and only thought it was a normal army change of defense.
However, after Qin Hao and Ling Buyi took inventory of Shouchun's armory, I couldn't help but be secretly surprised. Shouchun's ordnance was abundant and sophisticated, even surpassing that of many frontier troops. Obviously, these were the capital Wen Xiujun collected through various channels to rebel. If Shouchun really rebelled, these ordnance would be enough. Equipped with tens of thousands of soldiers, it is definitely a big force.
Qin Hao asked Lou Niu to continue to lead the team to inventory the grain and grass warehouse, and the final inspection results surprised Lou Niu.
Ling Buyi broke out in a cold sweat after seeing the specific figures, and quickly sent Babaili to inform Emperor Wen of the situation.
I have to admit that counterfeiting of coins is really profitable. Wen Xiujun actually Being able to obtain so much weapons and supplies quietly
Qin Hao and Ling Buyi stayed until close to early summer before re-taking over the defense of Shouchun and returning to the capital, but Lord Wen Xiu had already been captured.The death penalty was carried out secretly, and it is said that it was Wang Chun himself who carried out the execution. Wang Jian was also married off to a remote small county. It is estimated that it will be difficult for her to return to the capital again in this life.
The third princess was punished to stay at home for a year and fined her a lot of property. Emperor Wen actually knew his daughter very well. He knew that the fine was worse for the third princess than not being allowed to go out. Be uncomfortable.
Qin Hao’s return also made Cheng Shaoshang and the Qin Yuan family relieved. Finally, the war did not start. The Qin Yuan family also complained about Emperor Wen. His son was a doctor from the Taiyuan Academy. Why? He was also allowed to continue leading troops to fight.
However, when Qin Hao returned to the capital this time, the court had been quarreling for several months over bad coins. The most quarrelsome issue was how to carry out coinage reform.
Before the Western Han Dynasty, the five-baht coin was used. Later, Emperor Wu abolished the five-baht coin and issued a new currency. As a result, due to immature coinage technology, bad coins were everywhere and the economic order was chaotic, which caused unrest. Small riots, coupled with some natural disasters and wrong tax policies, made it difficult for the people to survive. Various aristocratic families raised armies one after another to overthrow the tyranny of Emperor Ru.
So after Emperor Wen ascended the throne, he took the lead in restoring the five-baht coin and still adopted the coinage policy of the Western Han Dynasty. However, there was a drawback in this, that is, the casting technology of the five-baht coin had long been spread. , many feudal kings have this technology in their hands, which is why Wen Xiujun is able to produce a large number of bad coins.
Of course, there was a lot of quarrel in the court. In fact, it can be summed up as nothing more than two issues. One is whether new coinage technology should be adopted, and the other is who should take the lead if new coinage technology is adopted.
To put it bluntly, it is still a struggle for power. All the wealthy families want to gain political capital from this matter. Emperor Wen now goes to court every day and is troubled by this issue alone.
Qin Hao stayed at Taiyuan University and did not participate in the dispute. He still helped Emperor Wen organize the memorials all day long.
On this day, Emperor Wen looked at the pile of memorials in front of him that needed urgent instructions. He opened one and saw that it was about coinage reform. He opened it again and saw that it was still about coinage reform. He was so angry that he threw the bamboo slips on the ground.
"What's going on with this Zihan? Do you still think I'm not annoying enough? Call him over"
The eunuch soon arrived at Taiyuan.
Qin Hao calmly adjusted his clothes and then came to Emperor Wen.
Emperor Wen threw the bamboo slips one by one at Qin Hao's feet. "Look, they are all about coinage reform. Can you be a little fresh every day? We have been arguing all day long about this trivial matter. Other government affairs Do you still want to do it?"
Qin Hao silently picked up the bamboo slips, and then bowed slightly to Emperor Wen, "Your Majesty, minting coins is a national policy, related to the livelihood of millions of people. The day bad coins are rampant, the number of people will increase. One day's loss cannot be delayed."
Emperor Wen sighed after hearing this, and said irritably, "I don't know, but look at these memorials, either the prince was elected to take charge of this coinage reform, or he was the one who recommended the prince. branchThose who hold the third prince, are they doing it for the common people? They are all doing it for their own selfish desires."
In fact, Emperor Wen still preferred the prince when it came to heirs to the throne. After all, he was the eldest son, and it was logical to inherit the throne.
Although the third prince is shrewd and capable, after all, the legitimate eldest brother has neither. The prince has no major fault and it is impossible for him to let the third prince inherit the throne. If his name is not justified, there will be big problems in the future.
However, Emperor Wen was in his prime years. Seeing so many ministers supporting the prince, he was somewhat wary of the prince. He did not want to see the prince have too high a reputation. He could pass the throne to the prince, but the prince could not snatch it< /p>
"Come here, Zihan, sit down. Today we are not kings and ministers. You have been watched by me since childhood. What do you think I should do?"
Qin Hao did not shirk and bowed slightly. He sat down and said casually, "This coinage reform must have a prince in charge to show the importance of the court, but in the final analysis, it only needs a prince."
As soon as he clicked, Emperor Wen suddenly realized, Yes, just any prince will do, and he doesn't have only two sons.
In the court, Emperor Wen issued an order to let the fifth prince take the lead in this coinage reform. In an instant, the government and the public were alarmed. The fifth prince, who had always had no sense of presence, was actually pushed out. It was difficult for people to speculate on Emperor Wen's thoughts.
However, the fifth prince looked depressed about this good job. , and even complained to Emperor Wen that he didn't like handling government affairs and wanted Emperor Wen to take back his life, but he was naturally scolded by Emperor Wen.
On the other side, the Qin Mansion. p> Lou Niu held a bamboo slip in his hand and was fascinated by it. After a long time, he slowly put it down and asked with a frown, "The Qin family wants to put their chips on the fifth prince."
Qin Hao shouted After taking a sip of tea, he said lightly, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. You can memorize the things here clearly tonight. Just go and serve the Fifth Prince tomorrow. I've pointed out the way for you. Let's see next." Why are you leaving? "
Lou Niu hesitated for a moment and bowed, "No. "
Then he quit.
