Great Tang Southern Emperor

As for His Highness's reputation, you don't need to worry about it, because Bao Qing and I did this from the beginning to the end, and it has nothing to do with His Highness. Even if the court wants to punish us, it will only punish us, and Your Highness will not be affected at all. . "

"No, you can't do this... I am willing to confess, I can tell everything I know, please don't vent your anger on my family?" Gong Qin was the first to lose his temper and immediately begged.

"Yes, I am willing to explain everything I know. I also know some secrets that you don't know. I am willing to tell all of you. I just ask you to save my family." Lu Fei, the guard of Shi Jian Silver Mine, in charge of the silver mine However, he is not the current guard, but the predecessor. This time, Qin Huaiyu not only arrested the current guard, but also arrested all previous guards—as I said before, the Bohai Navy District has The [-] marines were divided into teams of [-] people, and each team of [-] people was led by a [-]-man general, and the guard of the silver mine looked like a fat job, so for the sake of fairness, Yuchi Baoqing and Qin Huaiyu discussed The defensive order was arranged by drawing lots, and the rounds were held every six months. Now that five years have passed, the first round of the [-]-man team has been completed, and the second round is about to end.

That is to say, the [-] generals and even the officers below were all involved in the mine stealing incident, and no one was innocent, so this time Qin Huaiyu arrested them all and took them to the smelter Here, prepare for unified execution.

Originally, after the incident was leaked, Lu Fei's plan was the same as others', which was to keep silent and resist Qin Huaiyu's interrogation with silence, because only in this way could he save his family, but unfortunately, since Qin Huaiyu came, how could he Not a little ready?It directly broke their plan and forced them to speak.

"Yes, I am willing to tell everything about me, as long as I don't hurt my family."

"I haven't been living for nothing these years. The transactions between me and them have been recorded in the ledger. If you can spare my family, I am willing to hand over the ledger."

"Captain Qin, I'm guilty, I deserve to die, I'm willing to go up the mountain of swords and down the pan of oil, but my family is innocent, I'm willing to be honest with the people behind me..."

"..."

Sure enough, after Gong Qin and the others started, everyone collapsed, unable to hold back the fear in their hearts anymore, and honestly confessed everything about themselves.

however……

"Hehe, you're only confessing now? It's too late!" Qin Huaiyu sternly shouted, "Why did you go early? To tell you the truth, your confession is not as important as you imagined. His Highness has already grasped the secrets behind you. The details of the forces have also discovered the activities of you and the enemies behind you a few years ago. The reason why you stayed for so long before doing it is to lure you into the bait and make you full-hehe, after all, some of these forces are People with official identities, if they can't be saved once and for all, then it will be much more troublesome to deal with them later.

We collected all the real evidence three years ago. What you think is important to you is actually just outdated information for us. It is useless at all. We have much more information than you ...

The reason why I asked you to explain everything just now is that His Royal Highness gave you a chance with kindness, to see if anyone is truly repentant... But it is a pity that you gave up the last chance. Not only did you lose your own life, but you also lost your life. You hurt your own family... Don't resent His Highness, this is your own choice... I'm sorry... Execution! "

"No!"

Everyone uttered a mournful cry, and saw that under the flickering light of the knife, blood spurted out one after another. In an instant, everyone's heads fell to the ground. The strong smell of blood polluted the air, and the blood dyed the entire execution ground. Blood red, all the slave laborers who saw this could no longer bear the churning in their stomachs, and vomited out with a wow, and then smoothly caused a chain reaction, everyone vomited, and the whole execution ground suddenly smelled sour Mixed with the smell of blood, more people vomited out... For a while, the entire execution ground was full of "wow" vomiting sounds, and the situation was quite spectacular.

"Finally it's resolved, let's clean it up, and the corpses are all burned." Qin Huaiyu, who saw more than 1000 heads fall to the ground, felt a little uncomfortable even though he saw them fighting with their own hands. He waved his hands and ordered his subordinates to clean up the mess, while he Take people away from the scene.

"Captain..." A brigade commander next to him suddenly asked: "This subordinate is a little confused... Could it be that all of this is really His Highness's plan? Isn't this a big deal?"

"What? You have a different opinion?" Qin Huaiyu glanced at him. This person is his guard commander, so he has no chance to participate in this matter. He is one of the few surviving officers in the Bohai Navy District. , the rest of the people who participated in this matter, none of them stayed.

"That's not true, I just feel that His Highness's handwriting is a bit too big." The brigade commander touched his head and said, "We also know the amount of silver mine here, and the annual silver output can reach tens of millions... This is already the tax revenue of the entire Tang Dynasty for a whole year, and His Highness only takes [-]% of it, and the remaining [-]% is taken by the opponent... Although this subordinate knows that His Highness is to catch the enemy, this bait is too much. Is it big? This is almost fattening the enemy."

"Hehe, you are so naive." Qin Huaiyu smiled, how could things be so simple?At present, everything they see is only the surface, and the real truth is still hidden in the dark...

Chapter 1190 Yuchi Baoqing

Chapter 137 Yuchi Baoqing

Everyone who knows the existence of the Iwami Silver Mine thinks that this huge silver mine is in the hands of Li Zhen, and although the Iwami Silver Mine does belong to Li Zhen in name, everyone ignores the other One person, a boss bigger than Li Zhen - the current emperor Li Shimin.

There is no doubt that Li Shimin is a generation of sages, but even a sage would be moved by a silver mine as large as Iwami Silver Mine, right?What's more, as an emperor, how could he let such a large silver mine slip away from him?

In fact, this is indeed the case. Although Li Zhen is the owner of the silver mine in name, it is Li Shimin who really occupies the majority of it - no matter how much Li Shimin believes in Li Zhen, it is absolutely impossible to hand over such a large silver mine to In his hands, he didn't have such courage, and he couldn't suppress the greed in his heart. He was already generous to be able to give Li Zhen two achievements.

What's more, so much silver is inexhaustible in Li Zhen's hands. He is very profitable. Every year, the money he earns from the Chamber of Commerce under his name is too much to spend. The silver mine is just icing on the cake for him. It is a decoration.Only in the hands of Li Shimin can this thing be used to the fullest. After all, an emperor has to take care of things that are far beyond what the prince Li Zhen can compare. Only money can play the greatest role in his hands, and it can even be said that the It will be enough - because after having money, Li Shimin started several big projects, but the money that could not be spent is not enough anymore.

Li Shimin accounts for a full 600% of the silver mine. In the Iwami Silver Mine alone, his annual income has reached [-] million taels of silver, plus [-]% of the interests of Li Zhen and the Bohai Navy District. , and the remaining [-]% is the food for those dark rats to fight for.

It's just that Ishijian Silver Mine is not as open as Silver Island after all, so Li Shimin didn't intervene in the open, but like those dark forces, he cultivated several organizations as his spokespersons to get money for him. They are so secretive that they don't even know each other—in fact, Li Shimin was the first person to intervene in the silver mine, and it was he who made such a bad start that caused all major forces to follow suit , all stretched their hands in, and shared the remaining [-]% of the profits.

But even if it is only 500% of the profit, the annual income is more than [-] million taels. Although there are many forces involved, even if it only accounts for a few tenths of a percent, the money they get every year is enough for all the forces to eat and drink. And these are the baits that Li Zhen really throws out. It is guaranteed that as long as they are found out, even the emperor's own uncle will die. It is inevitable to destroy the nine clans and punish the three clans.

Of course, there is no need for the Taoist Qin Huaiyu to tell a small brigade commander that he just wants to leave this Shura field now, go to the seaside and take a few deep breaths to clean up the bloody smell in his chest and lungs.

"Hahaha... Huaiyu, are you done with your business? I have already finished with it." Just after leaving the bloody execution ground, someone suddenly grabbed her neck and shook her hard. After two clicks, before he could get angry, a hearty voice rang in Qin Huaiyu's ear.

The person who spoke was Yuchi Baoqing, Qin Huaiyu's old partner for many years—a Yuchi Jingde who could be called a smaller one, with that physique, that skin color, that eyebrow...if it wasn't for the absence of wrinkles on his face, he would be Li Shimin I'm afraid I'll have to call him Brother Yuchi Wang (the name in "Shuo Tang" is an honorific name for Yuchi Jingde).

"I said Baoqing, how many times have I told you that you are now the general manager of one side, and you should pay attention to your image, okay? You'd better get rid of this kind of Jianghu habit." Qin Huaiyu said to Yuchi Baoqing The rude behavior was very unpleasant, and he couldn't help scolding, although Yuchi Baoqing's rank is higher than him, at the general level, but in fact Qin Huaiyu is the real helm of the Bohai Navy District, even Yuchi Baoqing has to listen to him .

Because Yuchi Baoqing's personality is impulsive and irritable, he can't hide his true thoughts, he is good at commanding and fighting on the battlefield, but he is far inferior to Qin Huaiyu when it comes to scheming, so Li Zhen asked Qin Huaiyu to partner with Yuchi Baoqing back then. The only thing is to let Qin Huaiyu suppress Yuchi Baoqing.

And the reason why Yuchi Baoqing was promoted to the right position was because there were many clans and rich families in Ludi. Yuchi Baoqing was the best at dealing with them - that's what Xiucai meant when he met soldiers.

The situation in these years also proved that Li Zhen's plan was very appropriate. In the front, Yuchi Baoqing was charging into the battle, and in the back, Qin Huaiyu used remote control commands to subdue the local wealthy families. No one dared to fight against them.

Hearing Qin Huaiyu's warning, Yuchi Baoqing was not angry at all, but touched the back of his head and said: "No way, my father spent more than 20 years developing my temperament, you want me to spend five years Just correct it, how can it be so simple? Besides, what's wrong with being rude? My father, Uncle Cheng, which one is a gentleman? Isn't he still regarded as a confidant by His Majesty the Emperor?

Let me tell you, people have to be a little stupid, only in this way can they live better.The smarter you are, the more uncomfortable you are. If you don’t believe me, look at Uncle Li (referring to Li Jing), Uncle Xu (referring to Li Ji, also called Xu Maogong), these years have been trembling, especially Uncle Li, since the war against the Turks, do you think he has directed any other decent battles?Isn't it because you are afraid of being suspected by His Majesty? "

"I... what you said is so reasonable, but I'm speechless." After hearing Yuchi Baoqing's big reasoning, Qin Huaiyu didn't know what to say, you want to say it's a fallacy?But the few examples he gave are all real.But you want to say that this principle is the truth?Is it better in this world that a fool is better than a wise man?There is no such reason.

"No, I was almost entangled by you... Uncle Cheng and Uncle Yuchi are called Dazhi Ruoyu, they are not the same as real idiots... And..." Qin Huaiyu glanced at Yuchi Baoqing and asked suspiciously : "When did you become so smart? You even learned how to give examples? Who taught you?"

"No one...no one instructed me...this is all my own thinking." Yuchi Baoqing resolutely denied it, but the intermittent tone and gradually turning black and red face were really disappointing to him, This book says it all.

Chapter 1191 Doubt?Anti-question?

Chapter 138 Doubt?Anti-question?

"Forget it..." Qin Huaiyu didn't think too much, and shifted the topic to the past: "The tasks on my side have also been completed, and all the damned people have been executed... Your Highness means that the matter of the silver mine is temporarily closed. I'll leave it to you... But you've seen the fate of these people. Your Highness will never tolerate these people who eat inside and outside... You can take this opportunity to make some money, but you'd better not collude with outsiders. Do it, or His Highness will not spare you."

"Huaiyu, you underestimate me, don't you?" Yuchi Baoqing was not happy when he heard it: "What's the matter? In your eyes, do I have an eye for money? I, Yuchi Baoqing Over the years, have you ever embezzled a penny from the imperial court? Have I ever withheld a penny from the salaries of the soldiers?... I really didn't expect that I would be like this in your eyes. Qin Huaiyu, you are a little too contemptuous of me Bar?"

Yuchi Baoqing couldn't help being angry, the two had been partners for seven or eight years, and although they weren't good enough to wear a pair of trousers during this period, they were considered close, but now Qin Huaiyu actually doubts his personality, which is really hurtful .

"Don't be angry, I didn't mean to look down on you, nor did I doubt you, I just..." Qin Huaiyu knew that Yuchi Baoqing had misunderstood himself, and quickly explained: "It's just that after all, money touches people's hearts. Especially when a lot of money is placed in front of your eyes, no matter how firm the heart is, there will be such a moment of heartbeat-not to mention that people will change, the bottom line is not as guarded as you imagined, you think you You can stick to your heart and not be moved by external objects, but that is because the so-called external objects have not broken through your psychological bottom line...

Lu Fei used to be your direct subordinate, a dignified general of ten thousand people, he is upright, upright, law enforcement like a mountain, and has a noble heart... No matter how you look at it, he is a very qualified general and is deeply loved by his subordinates. His character has even been praised face to face by His Highness...but what is his fate now?I just chopped off his head, and now his body may not have been cleaned up... The reason why I said so much is just to give you an advice, I don't want to meet you on the execution ground in the future. "

Qin Huaiyu said it very clearly, but Yuchi Baoqing was so upright at the moment, he didn't listen to it at all, he just waved his hand and said: "To put it bluntly, you still don't trust me. Since you don't believe what I say, then go ahead and stay. Looking at the silver mine here, I will go back to the base to deal with those old foxes, anyway, they don't dare to fight me hard, so I shouldn't suffer much."

"No...forget it, I believe you are." Qin Huaiyu couldn't say anything when he saw this, and he had partnered with Yuchi Baoqing for seven or eight years, so he knew his character well. I mentioned something casually, but I didn't expect to be misunderstood by Yuchi Baoqing, so I quickly explained, but the more I explained, the more I couldn't explain clearly, so I could only quickly end this topic. In the future, Yuchi Baoqing should be able to figure it out after the cold of.

As for exchanging positions, that is definitely not possible. He is fine in guarding the mines. The problem is with the Bohai Base. Although they have made the Ludi clan into grandchildren over the years, it does not mean that they can sit back and relax. Yes, in fact, they have never stopped their confrontation with the enemies in the dark all these years. After all, the Bohai Naval District is one of the largest naval bases in the Tang Dynasty. People often try to sabotage them, especially Silla and Japanese spies. Lord, not a hundred spies a year is not normal.

Although Wa and Silla are small countries, they still have capable people. For example, the former sister Ono was a smart person, but she was unlucky and fell into the hands of Li Zhen.Once these smart people make a move, even Qin Huaiyu will find it difficult to deal with it, let alone Yuchi Baoqing, a big fool. If they really try to pinch them, I am afraid that they will fall into the enemy's trap in less than three moves, and then be killed by the opponent. Got it.

This is Yuchi Baoqing's personality flaw, which cannot be changed, so that he can be alone in other places, but he still can't do without Qin Huaiyu. This is the main reason-but even if he can't do without, After all, it is impossible for Qin Huaiyu to be his deputy for the rest of his life. Seven or eight years have passed, and Qin Huaiyu has already experienced and trained, so he can be on his own. Li Zhen originally planned to take advantage of this change of defense to promote him to the first-line position up.

As for the lack of Qin Huaiyu on Yuchi Baoqing's side, it's nothing. Anyway, Datang doesn't have many other things, but there are a lot of smart people. The big deal is to assign him a new one. I believe that no one will refuse such a big temptation from the Deputy Chief of the Navy District. of.

"Okay, since there is nothing else to do, let's start the second phase of the operation." Yuchi Baoqing no longer entangled with this issue, but said: "I still need to be responsible for guarding the mine, so the command of this operation will be I'll leave it to you—His Highness said that the enemy facing the Bohai Navy District this time is definitely not simple. They are more cunning than foxes and more ferocious than wolves. You must be careful and careful...Once this operation fails, let the enemy Not only will you be implicated, but it will also have a profound impact on His Highness's future plans."

"You don't need to say more about this, of course I know it." Qin Huaiyu waved his hand and said: "We have made so much preparation in the early stage, and it was unexpected, the enemy is absolutely impossible to succeed, we will definitely be able to completely take down the opponent ..."

"That's not necessarily the case." This time it was Yuchi Baoqing's turn to pour cold water on him: "This is the enemy that His Highness emphasized on. If you still have this mentality, you might really fail."

"You doubt my ability?" Qin Huaiyu was a little angry: "I have made special preparations, and with the help of the forces under His Highness, we have already figured out their details, and it is absolutely impossible to fail."

"Don't be angry, I didn't mean to doubt your ability, I just think it's understandable no matter how seriously you treat this kind of thing..."
