Chapter 1536 The righteousness of the rivers and lakes
Lu Haosheng finally smiled and said, "Does Lord Chu mean money? Actually, I don't think it's a difficult thing."
"Oh?" Chu Huan smiled and said, "Is Changshi Lu a solution?"
Seeing that Lu Haosheng was quite confident, he was a little strange, but he knew that Lu Haosheng was full of knowledge and perhaps he had a good idea, so he hurriedly asked, "What good way does Lu Changshi have?"
Lu Haosheng smiled and said, "Prince, Lord Chu, you may have forgotten Xiao Huanzhang."
"Xiao Huanzhang?" King Qi frowned.
Lu Haosheng said slowly: "As far as you know, Xiao Huanzhang and his son were corrupt and abused the law in Beishan. In order to rebel, they expanded their military and prepared for war and raised tens of thousands of troops. In addition to the establishment of the court regulations, they had more than tens of thousands of people under the pretext of the bandits in Beishan. If they did not have a rich family background, how could they maintain such a huge army? Xiao Huanzhang was not only corrupt, but also used all the levies to plunder the people's wealth, but also used the excuse of raising soldiers to raise a large amount of military expenditure from the gentry of Beishan. In addition, although he
However, he was an official, but he secretly manipulated merchants in the back and forth. However, there were many ways to make money from the Xiao family. Although the Xiao family had died, those property would not die. The prince also ordered that all the Xiao family's industries be sealed, and no one could do it without any move. He went to Beishan to use the stolen money of Xiao Huanzhang to govern Beishan. The Xiao family's father and son were rich enough to compete with the country, and the soldiers in Beishan naturally had to be cut. In this way, the pressure would be much less. It would be enough to use the money left by the Xiao family's father and son to last for the first half of the year."
King Qi's eyes were slightly bright, but Chu Huan smiled slightly, but he sighed in his heart, afraid that there were many people who were thinking about the property of the Xiao family father and son. But who knew that the Xiao family had already hidden a large amount of property in the secretly built vault. After the death of the Xiao family father and son, only Mrs. Xiao knew the location of the vault in the world. Before Mrs. Xiao died, she told herself about the location of the vault. In other words, now she only knows where the treasure of the Xiao family father and son is.
For both public and private, Chu Huan wanted to send Gongsun Chu to Beishan, just because under the current situation, Gongsun Chu may be the only suitable candidate. This idea was confirmed after defeating Zhu Lingyue. He was still worried about money. After all, Beishan could not get the imperial court to allocate silver. Even if Gongsun Chu is capable, it would be difficult for a good wife to cook without rice. Without silver. It would be difficult to govern in Beishan. Fortunately, Mrs. Xiao finally gave him a big gift and provided the location of the vault. Chu Huan was already preparing to hand over the huge amount of money to Gongsun Chu.
Lu Haosheng's idea was pretty good, but unfortunately, if Chu Huan's permission was not allowed, it would be a fool to find Xiao Huanzhang's treasure.
Chu Huan naturally would not say it out loud, and of course it was impossible to tell the King of Qi and Lu Haosheng about the location of the vault.
Lu Haosheng continued with a smile: "In addition to Xiao Huanzhang, there are many Xiao Huanzhang's followers in Beishan, so they must be cleaned up. When the house is confiscated, you can get another sum of silver. Lord Chu said that the problem of Beishan is actually a problem of silver. I deeply agree. If you raise money like this, I wonder if Lord Chu thinks Lu can go to Beishan?"
Chu Huan laughed and said, "If this is the case, you can go. Prince, since Chief Lu is willing to take on such a heavy responsibility, why not ask Chief Lu to go to Beishan first to take a look?"
The King of Qi hurriedly asked, "Chu Huan, you... did you agree to let Changshi Lu serve as the governor of Beishan?"
"Your Majesty, that's not what you said, it's just a family dinner today. Just say something you shouldn't say. The prince has to decide this matter." Chu Huan smiled and said, "If the prince agrees, you can send Lu Changshi to the place first, and then write a memorial, and report it to the emperor together with Wei Wuji in Tianshan. I wonder what the prince wants?"
The King of Qi looked at Lu Haosheng and nodded, "It's so good." He said to Lu Haosheng, "Lu Changshi, you are the chief of the king. When you go to Beishan, you must be careful and benefit the people."
Lu Haosheng stood up and bowed, "The prince will definitely live up to the prince's high hopes." He picked up the wine glass and said to King Qi and Chu Huan, "Prince, Lord Chu, the northwest revitalization is imperative. Bei Zheng is willing to work with Lord Chu to assist the prince, work hard to govern, enter the pass as soon as possible, drive away the traitors, and revitalize the Qin Dynasty!"
The King of Qi looked very excited, and raised his cup and said, "Chu Huan, Lu Changshi, you are both loyal ministers of the empire. I have to rely on you loyal ministers to assist you. I respect you."
Chu Huan smiled and stood up. The three of them drank all the wine glasses. Lu Haosheng asked, "Mr. Chu, you seem to have some worries just now. I don't know what it is. I can give me some advice."
Chu Huan knew that he remembered half of his words before, and smiled and said, "I'm afraid I'm too worried, but... Lu Changshi, I am worried that there are Xiao Huanzhang's remnants in Beishan. These people are thieves. Xiao Huanzhang is for us to wipe out. These remnants may have resentment towards us. Lu Changshi went to Beishan and must pay more attention to safety. When I came to the northwest to take office, I almost got killed halfway through the road. As a lesson, I hope that Lu Changshi would be more careful... it's just to be more careful."
The corners of Lu Changshi's eyes were slightly beating. When the King of Qi saw Lu Haosheng's expression, he knew that Lu Haosheng must still be a little scared in his heart. He said to Chu Huan: "Chu Huan, the northern mountain is in turmoil. What you are worried about is indeed reasonable. Can you transfer some people to protect Lu Changshi Zhou Quan?"
Chu Huan laughed and said, "If the prince doesn't say it, I will be ready. Both the prince and Lu Changshi know Qiu Ruxue. I sent Qiu Ruxue to take some people to Beishan with Lu Changshi. Qiu Ruxue is very connected in the world and has friends all over the world. There are also some friends in Beishan. At that time, Qiu Ruxue will introduce him to him, and Lu Changshi will take out some money to recruit a group of warriors there as guards. I wonder if this is appropriate?"
Lu Haosheng bowed and said, "Mr. Chu is fully prepared, and Lu is very grateful."
Chu Huan laughed and said, "You and I are both the prince's ministers, so we naturally have to work together. I don't know when Chief Lu will set off? I think the faster the better. After all, the government affairs in Beishan are already messy, and someone needs to go quickly to sort out and adjust. Chief Lu determines the good life, so I can arrange Qiu Ruxue to prepare."
Lu Haosheng looked at King Qi, and King Qi had already said, "Chu Huan said very well, it will take a long time to delay, but there will be trouble. Lu Changshi, you prepare for it, the sooner you set out, the better."
Lu Haosheng said: "Since that's the case, I will prepare for it tomorrow and I will set off in the future."
"In this way, I will let Qiu Ruxue and the others come here the day after tomorrow." Chu Huan laughed: "I wish Lu Changshi a smooth journey here and a smooth journey to Beishan, and benefit the people."
After that, Lu Haosheng showed great enthusiasm and toasted Chu Huan repeatedly. Chu Huan and his men ate for a while, and had enough wine and had enough food to say goodbye. The King of Qi asked Lu Haosheng to send Chu Huan to the door, and Ling Shuang also followed him to the gate. Seeing Ling Shuang looking at him, Chu Huan walked over and smiled and said, "Ling Shuang, if you are free here, go to the Governor's Mansion... Take care of yourself. Since I am your elder brother Chu, remember to find me no matter what you have."
When Ling Shuang saw Lu Haosheng beside him, she was not easy to say something. She nodded gently. When she saw Chu Huan leaving, she said softly: "Brother Chu, you... take care of yourself."
Chu Huan smiled gently before saying goodbye.
Lu Haosheng bid farewell to Chu Huan and then returned to the hall. Seeing the King of Qi smiling, he stepped forward and bowed and smiled, "Prince, our first step is done."
"Changshi Lu, do you think... Chu Huan has any thoughts in his heart?" King Qi became worried again, "He seems to have someone else to choose, but he just didn't say it."
"Prince, no matter what, Beishan is in our hands." Lu Haosheng said softly: "This is what the prince means, and Chu Huan naturally doesn't have a good time to fight with him. After all, he is the prince's subject. We want to take advantage of this to strengthen ourselves as much as possible. No matter whether Chu Huan has any other intentions, we can only be at the mercy of Chu Huan when we pretend to be big."
The King of Qi sighed, "Chu Huan has feelings for me and will not be merciless at me. He did not object to this day. What he said was also worried that something would happen if you went to Beishan. It was all a matter of making plans. In the end, he agreed to let you go to Beishan, which was worthy of me. I just wanted you and Chu Huan to do their best to assist me."
Lu Haosheng said solemnly: "Your Majesty, when you arrive at Beishan, you will definitely do your best to stabilize Beishan. At that time, the prince can go to Beishan to live. After we gain a foothold in Beishan, we can allow the three northwest roads to send troops into the pass. The prince has his own strength to truly revitalize the Qin Dynasty. Moreover, after the prince grows in Beishan, the three northwest roads will definitely follow the prince's leader. Even Chu Huan dares not have any inappropriate thoughts."
The King of Qi thought and didn't say anything. After a long time, he said, "Changshi Lu, you go down first. I want to be quiet."
"The prince should take care of his health." Lu Haosheng bowed and said, "Go back first, prepare for it, and it's better to set off tomorrow."
After the King of Qi retreated, Ling Shuang brought a glass of sobering soup and said softly: "Prince, you can drink a few more cups tonight and drink a bowl of sucking soup to feel more comfortable."
King Qi smiled and nodded, picked up the bowl, drank half of the bowl, then put it down, and asked, "Ling Shuang, are you happy to see Chu Huan?" He blurted out, and as soon as he said, he knew that he had said the wrong thing. Sure enough, when Ling Shuang heard this, her delicate body trembled slightly, her eyebrows frowned slightly, but she instantly returned to calm, and she said softly: "I treat him as my elder brother, and when I see him, I am naturally happy."
"Ling Shuang, I...I don't mean anything else, don't think too much." King Qi hurriedly said, "You...hey, I'm talking nonsense and can't speak, don't blame me."
"The prince didn't say anything." Ling Shuang said softly, "I asked someone to come over to clean up. It's too late, and it's time for the prince to rest."
Seeing Ling Shuang's expression calm, the more he was, the more uneasy he felt. However, he didn't know what to say, and he was wrong, so he could only sigh. Ling Shuang took a few steps, stopped, frowned, he hesitated for a moment, turned around, seemed to want to say something, but it was hard to say it. When the King of Qi saw it, he hurriedly said, "Ling Shuang, what do you want to say?"
Ling Shuang hesitated for a moment, moved her lotus step over, thought for a while, and then asked softly: "Prince, do you... do you have any opinions about Brother Chu?"
"Ah?" King Qi was stunned, then shook his head and said, "No, Ling Shuang, why did you ask like this?"
Ling Shuang sighed quietly, "Prince, actually...!" He stopped talking, but finally sighed softly, and said, "Nothing, I'll ask someone to clean up."
The King of Qi had already grabbed her arm and said, "Ling Shuang, are you still going to get along with me? What else can I say to you?"
"Prince, I'm just worried..." Ling Shuang smiled bitterly and said, "Prince, maybe I shouldn't talk too much, but... I don't want to see you get along with Brother Chu. What kind of person do you think Brother Chu is?"
King Qi hesitated for a moment before sighing: "In terms of talent, I am a world of difference from him. He treats me well. I... I have always regarded him as my most trustworthy person."
"Prince, in fact, Brother Chu is a person who values love and friendship and has a clear distinction between grudges and grudges." Ling Shuang whispered: "He has always been kind to his friends, but he has never been ruthless to the enemy. He values love and friendship. If you treat him well, he will repay him ten times. If... if someone wants to harm him, he... will not be ruthless."
King Qi frowned and said, "Ling Shuang, what do you want to say?"
"Prince, I...!" Ling Shuang hesitated for a moment and finally said softly: "Although Changshi Lu is dedicated to the prince, what he said is not right... He is loyal to the prince. In fact, Brother Chu is also affectionate and interested in the prince. Prince, you... you don't need to doubt Brother Chu, and...!" Finally, he shook his head and said, "Prince, I'm talking nonsense, you...you think about it yourself." He held the bowl, without saying much, and left quickly.
King Qi looked at Ling Shuang's shadow leaving, his lips moved slightly, his eyes were complicated, and then he reached out to pick up the wine pot on the table, pointed to the spout, and drank all the remaining wine in the wine pot in one breath.
Chu Huan left the Qi Prince's Mansion, but on the way, he asked Qi Hong to send two people to the Yuezhou Prefecture Prefecture, summoning Yuezhou Prefecture Gongsun Chu to the Governor's Mansion overnight, instructing him to act secretly and not let too many people know about it.
When he returned to the mansion, it was already late at night. Most of the mansions had already fallen asleep. Qiu Ruxue was still patrolling around the Governor's Office at night. He happened to meet Chu Huan coming back. Chu Huan didn't talk nonsense and said directly: "Brother Qiu, you will take someone to escort Lu Haosheng to Beishan to take office in Beishan the next day, and protect him to arrive in Beishan."
Qiu Ruxue was a little surprised and frowned and said, "Duke Chu, are you talking about the chief minister next to King Qi?"
"Yes, you went to the capital to save him and knew him well. I worked hard this time and escorted him to Beishan."
Qiu Ruxueqi said, "Director Chu said he was going to Beishan to become an official? Could it be that he wanted to go to Beishan to be the governor?"
Chu Huan nodded slightly, Qiu Ruxue locked his eyebrows, "Director Chu, you have many talents, and this Governor of Beishan is not his turn. I think Gongsun Chu is much better than him."
Chu Huan laughed and said, "Do you think Gongsun Chu is suitable for going to Beishan?"
"Gongsun Chu is from the northwest, and has a good official reputation, an honest and upright person, and has outstanding talents. When implementing the Juntian Order, he didn't care that Wei Wuji was younger than him and had less qualifications. He has always assisted Wei Wuji in implementing the Juntian Order. This man is sincerely doing things for the people. Although his martial arts are not very good, his character is good. His reputation and Wei Wuji are already out of the world and are very respected and loved by the people." Qiu Ruxu smiled and said, "He has already gained prestige in the Northwest officialdom, and everyone knows that he is the governor of Chu.
The man sent him to Beishan for his own official reputation and prestige, and Chu Du supported him behind him, so he could naturally be able to subdue Beishan. Such a person is not suitable, who else can be suitable? Why did he let Lu Haosheng go? Lu Haosheng has read a lot of books and is also quite scheming, but he has been an official in the capital, and he has mostly been a civil servant, and has never been to the local area to handle work. He suddenly asked him to go to Beishan. I am afraid that he would not be able to subdue it and would make Beishan a mess."
Chu Huan took two steps back and looked at Qiu Ruxue up and down. Qiu Ruxue was unclear, so he couldn't help looking up and down at himself, and said strangely: "Duke Chu, what's wrong?"
"Brother Qiu, this person who is close to the ink is black, and the person who is close to the vermilion is indeed a famous saying." Chu Huan laughed and said, "You are by my side and have become quick-witted now. I only think you have great sword skills. I didn't expect that you have already understood the way of using people now."
Qiu Ruxue couldn't help but smile and said, "Duke Chu, why don't you give me an official too?"
"I'm just thinking." Chu Huan said seriously.
Qiu Ruxue said casually and was joking. Seeing Chu Huan say this, he hurriedly said, "Forget it, I'm joking, don't take it seriously, Duke Chu, I followed you at the beginning, didn't think about getting promoted or becoming an official, and you have to abide by various rules when you become an official. I'm used to being a casual person. If you really want to be an official, I won't do it even if I beat you to death."
Chu Huan came up, patted Qiu Ruxue's shoulder, and said sincerely: "Brother Qiu, we met in Anyi and walked side by side until today. You helped me too much, and I owe you too much...!"
"Duke Chu, don't do this." Qiu Ruxue smiled freely and said: "We are not old ladies, why do we do this. To be honest, I never thought of following you to this day. I just met you and met you. Chu Huan treats me as my brother and never treats me badly. Naturally, I can't let you down. Besides, following you, you have food and drink, and sometimes you can still be glorious. I was a employed swordsman in the world, and now I can become brothers with the chief officials in the border area. This descendant is also their glory." A hint of warmth appeared in my eyes, "No matter what, being a brother, there will be no future in this life. I am a man from the world, and I have the righteousness of the world. Since you and I have been together, I will live up to this relationship."
Chu Huan nodded, then smiled and said, "Yes, it's hard to ask you, does Brother Qiu still have family?"
"I wandered around the world, alone." Qiu Ruxue sighed: "But I am going to find a wife, but I licked blood on the edge of the knife for half of my life. Maybe one day it will be gone, which will affect my wife, children and young people...!"
Chu Huan said, "I'll leave this matter to me. I'll turn around and ask Su Niang to find you a big butt and marry you. If you want future generations to spread your reputation, you must give birth to ten or eight."—
