Chapter 38 Undercurrent

Bonan County is an extremely special existence in Jiangguo. It is the only county town located on the south bank of Taijiang. It is a military city where Jiangguo attacks the hinterland of Wanshan or defends against invasion of the demon clan.

Bonan County has always fulfilled the responsibilities given to it by the Jiang Kingdom very well, and has continuously driven the demon clan away from the south bank of the Taijiang River. When protecting the Jiang Kingdom, it also protects the Taijiang River channel of the Jiang Kingdom.

Because of the special nature of Bonan County, Jiang Guo spared no effort to support this county. He couldn't help but avoid the taxes of Bonan County, and he also allocated a large amount of military expenditure and materials to Bonan County every year.

The policy is even more inclined. The appointment and removal of officials in Bonan County is decided by Gao Bu's case, and the army also belongs to his private soldiers...

There was no Bonan County in Jiang Kingdom.

That was a piece of territory that the ancestors of the Gaobu Case led their army across the river to snatch from the demon clan. At that time, Jiang Kingdom had no intention of defending this territory. After all, it was separated from Jiang Kingdom by a Taijiang River but was close to Wanshan Mountains, under the eyes of the demon clan.

But the ancestor of the Gao family insisted on guarding Bonan.

So the King of Jiang at that time appointed the ancestor of the Gao clan as the hereditary Marquis of Zhennan, whose fief was Bonan County... and promised that the Marquis of Zhennan, that all the territory he had built on the south bank of Taijiang were his.

At that time, no one expected that Zhennan Hou would defend Bonan and build a strong city firmly nailed to the south bank of Taijiang.

The existence of Bonan County forced the demon clan to retreat significantly on the south bank of the Taijiang River Section. It not only made it difficult for the demon clan to directly threaten the hinterland of the Jiang Kingdom, but also protected the safety of Shangjiangyun in the Jiang Kingdom.

On the other hand, the Liang Kingdom, which is also next door, is deeply affected by the demon clan.

In order to prevent the demon clan from crossing the river quietly, Liang State had to maintain a large number of troops on the north bank of the Taijiang River, and the river ships had to always worry about the attacks of the demon clan and water bandits.

The national strength is constantly consumed in the security war in Taijiang, so in the border dispute with Jiangguo, Liang State has always been in a passive defense position. The interests of Taijiang water transportation are also given up again and again under the pressure of Jiangguo.

In short, Bonan County is very important to the Jiang Kingdom.

"However, Bonan County has always been a major hidden danger to Jiangguo." After introducing the overview of Bonan County, Chunyu Jin sighed and exchanged a cup of tea for Wang Fang and said: "The rank of Zhennan Marquis is hereditary. The fief of Bonan County has no boundaries. Zhennan Marquis has been committed to the expansion of Bonan County in all dynasties. The area of ​​Bonan County is now one-fifth of that of Jiangguo, which is larger than Ze County.

In the continuous battle against the demon race, Bonan County developed a strong folk custom. In terms of combat power, Bonan soldiers were the best in Jiang Kingdom; even if they were compared with the entire Great Wei Empire, Bonan Army was also the top elite.

In addition, Bonan County has its own port, river ferry, maritime merchants, and river transportation system. Not only does it use all the money and grains you earn for your own use, but it also asks Ze County for military expenses to defend the border every year.

More and more years have become a big burden for Jiangguo's finances.

But I have to give...

A few years ago, when the king was in good health, someone once proposed that Bonan County was too big and should be divided into two or three counties. But after several murder cases of demon clans crossing the river, this proposal was not settled..."

Wang Jian asked at this moment: "Those demon murder cases are related to Zhennan Hou?"

Chunyu Jin shook his head and smiled, "No one knows whether it has anything to do with him. But Zhennan Hou has operated for so many generations in Bonan County and said that they have no contact with the demon clan, no one believes it.

A large number of demons cross the river, and the first thing they have to do is to pass Bonan County.

Moreover, in recent years, especially in the past few years when the king was in ill health, the Gao Bu Case began to make friends with court officials. Even I... had received several coral screens he gave him.

Bonan County is really rich and soldiers, and it is also a big heart disease of the king. Zhenxihou commanded the Xidianwei and the Nandianwei at the same time, so as to beware of the Gaobu case.

The Minister of State Zhendong Hou Li Yao controlled the Dongdian Guard and the Imperial Guard and the Condor He also restrained the Zhenxi Hou.

My help to the eldest prince manage the Beidian Guard is another check and balance against Li Yao.

This link is tied up and the last rope is in the hands of the king, maintaining the balance of power among all parties in Jiang. But if any of these links has problems, it will be a disaster in Jiang."

Wang Fang didn't expect that the scene of singing and dancing was as peaceful as the scene of prosperity in Zejun, which was filled with undercurrents. He stepped in in a daze, and he really felt like a stunning swaying a big tree.

It is impossible to retreat at this time.

After recalling Chunyu Jin's account of the power dispute between Jiangguo, Wang Fang suddenly discovered...

The power of the eldest prince seems to be the weakest!

Now that I have followed Chunyu Jin to handle the case, I have become the chief clerk of the Beidian Guard, it is like boarding a ship that will capsize at any time.

This time I played a bit big...

"Sir, where should this case be investigated?"

Chunyu Jin drank tea and said, "If there is no sufficient benefit, no one will do it. And there are even fewer people who have the ability to hide the demon clan in Ze County.

The Prime Minister Li Yao held great power, but the second prince was young and was not the eldest son. The king refused to make the second prince the crown prince for a long time, so it was hard to guarantee that he would not use extraordinary means to seize the throne.

And you just arrived in Zejun yesterday morning, and the Prime Minister's Mansion sent someone to tell me at night... You are at Sanwen Medical Center.

It is obvious that someone is staring at you...he is the most suspicious.

The discussion on the division of Bonan County in the past few years was actually a reaction from the king's instructed public opinion to look at the Gao Bu case. In the end, because Bonan County had too much resistance, it was left unresolved.

But it also made the king even more afraid of Bonan County. There are rumors... The king did not want to leave the trouble of Bonan County to the new king. Recently, Jiang and Liang Kingdom have negotiated peace, and Zhenxihou will be freed soon.

The case of the Marquis of Zhennan, Gaobu, may not take risks for Bonan County.

His suspicion is second.

As for Zhenxihou... he has no father and no dog son, he himself is the 15th-level painting master, the eldest son is the 14th-level painting master, the second son and the third son are all great painters of the 13th-level painting master, and the grandson is also very talented.

On the other hand, the second prince is less than ten years old and the eldest prince has no offspring. The population is really too thin. The royal power is in front of you, and your brothers have to be careful.

However, Zhenxi Hou did not show any ambitions in normal times, so his suspicion was the lowest."

Chunyu Jin stopped analyzing this time. Wang Fang stared at her eyes and waited for a while. After realizing that she was really saying it, he asked, "Is that big prince? Is he suspicious?"

When Chunyu Jin heard that Wang Fang dared to suspect the eldest prince, he frowned and said dissatisfied: "The great prince has the weakest power among these four directions, and only a group of old ministers support him. Once the king makes any mistakes, it will be the most unfavorable to the eldest prince.

How could we do something to kill the lord and rebel ministers?”

Wang Fang knew some of the surface disputes in Jiang Kingdom, but they were all the same words of Chunyu Jin, and he didn't know whether the eldest prince should be suspected. However, since Chunyu Jin said that these monsters had nothing to do with the eldest prince, it would be fine.
