For the emperor

Sending off the angel, Cang Tiansu looked normal on his face, but he was full of thoughts and annoyed in his heart.

Emperor Cang Jing commanded Zhang San to assassinate the monarchs of other countries by remote control from thousands of miles away, and he was able to escape unscathed afterwards. All the clues Chengguo investigated point to Qi Guo. There is no personal evidence or material evidence to prove the whole thing This matter has something to do with Cangguo.

Crown Prince Chengguo was furious, and at this time when the situation was unclear, he openly declared war on the Qi Kingdom, and when the two countries negotiated peace, they became more confident.Apart from the death of Zhang San, Emperor Jing had no other losses.

Thousands of miles away, Emperor Cang Jing is not a real god, and in fact, this matter may not be so seamless. It is very likely that Prince Chengguo is helping to cover it up.

Prince Chengguo has long wanted to get rid of Emperor Chenglong, who has been sick for several years. People all over the world are watching him. For the sake of "filial piety", it is impossible for him to take the lead. At this time, Emperor Jing's behavior is really dozing off and giving a pillow. Two people tacit understanding of each other.

Emperor Jing gave him a great favor, and the former prince of Chengguo, now the monarch of Chengguo, naturally reciprocated. He followed the clues on the surface all the way to trace, and the target was Qi Guo.

He was just empty talk, lightly followed the public opinion and the petitions of his courtiers, and declared war on the indisputable Qi State. He didn't need to send a single soldier, but only put pressure on Qi State and cheered Cang State in terms of power, and he easily changed the peace agreement between the two countries. The direction of the wind is already repaying seven or eight of this favor.

If it was Cang Tiansu, he would definitely choose to fall to the side of Cang Kingdom.Even though the country of Cang Kingdom is in chaos, it may not be easy to determine who will win and who loses in another war with Qi Kingdom, but in the end, the other party has been beaten and fled.

The national strength is already comparable at this time, but the psychological pressure of the people of the two countries is naturally not the same.What's more, with Emperor Jing playing this trick, the current monarch of Chengguo can naturally see the level of the ruler's ability, so there is no reason not to choose to accept the olive branch extended by the wise man.

Even though Cang Tian always finds that his father is not pleasing to the eye, he has to admit that even if the other party intentionally tricks him from time to time, he is still an almost perfect collaborator. Unfortunately, each other can understand each other's mind, which is really very worry-free and effort-saving.

It was like this even when calculating Cang Tianci this time. Cang Tiansu saw Lin Yaolan's slightly abnormal expression, and then realized that he had unintentionally fought a cooperative battle with Cang Jingdi. It hit it off.

In the end, he was still one step ahead. All the deployments he had made in Chengguo through Zhao Liu and Zhang San's forces in the past few years were meaningless, and he could only make wedding dresses for others.

Cang Tiansu turned over a page of Buddhist scriptures, rubbed his fingertips lightly on "one thought of ignorance is absolute prajna, one thought of wisdom is prajna life", raised his eyes and said with a smile: "I will arrive in Yunzhou in two days, if I think about it, I will hurry up It can also catch up with the envoys of the Qi State to arrive in Beijing."

In the past half month, the advance speed of the army has been very fast. More than [-] evil heads have opened the way ahead. With the joint efforts of the soldiers and careful persuasion and detailed explanations, the momentum of land recovery has become irreversible. The villagers in the occupied area are getting more and more The better to speak.

Especially when they set foot on the land of Jinzhou yesterday, they encountered no resistance at all.When the people of Jinzhou heard that the lord was coming, they all lined the road to welcome them, holding bouquets of flowers in their hands, and cheered loudly.

Cang Tiansu, who had never set foot on his fiefdom before, was taken aback, hurriedly pulled Cang Tianci to the carriage, rode on the tall horse and waved to the crowd, making a splash.

He sat on the horse for a long time before he realized what was going on, thinking that since he went to Yulan, he had naturally left this land behind, and even the manpower was managed by people sent by Emperor Jing. At the beginning of the year, I reported the harvest to him, and even the proceeds were sent directly to the treasury in Kyoto, without letting him look at it, and without touching a single coin.

Cang Tiansu deliberately let go of the fiefdom, preferring to suffer losses for a few years, and did not let Zhao Liu take over when the funds were most tight, in order to prevent the robber family from becoming bigger.

The plan of the great prince of the Cang Kingdom is very clear. The Duan family power represented by Duan Yu is his hand, the Northwest Army power represented by Li Renqiang and Xu Xian is his foot, and the Bandit Sect power represented by Zhao Liu is his own. As for the ears, as for the eyes and mouth, and even the brain, he couldn't let any one of these three factions intervene.

The power of the three parties is far from enough. In the past few years after returning to Beijing, he needs to quickly develop another wave of power.

As the saying goes, you can't put eggs in one basket, but in the eyes of the cautious and prudent First Prince, even three baskets are far from enough.

Jinzhou is Cangtiansu's future source of income and financial resources. As long as it is controlled properly, it can play a role comparable to the current Northwest Army. Since there is no suitable candidate, he would rather this treasure be abandoned here, and it will be cheap for nothing. Father Liang's private treasury will never allow Pirate Sect to take one step forward.

He has to take a long-term view. Breaking the balance of his own forces for the sake of huge benefits in a short period of time is really a foolish thing to miss the watermelon.

Because he deliberately left it behind, Cang Tiansu really didn't have much sense of belonging to this fief, so much so that he hadn't expected such a big scene before.

But in his heart, the eldest prince who has not brought Jinzhou into his sphere of influence doesn't care, and the people of Jinzhou can't help but care.

Even if the Lord himself doesn't want to see this place, his name is still hanging here.Cang Tiansu has been away in the past few years. Whether he wins or loses in the war, apart from the imperial capital, what he cares most about is the people of Jinzhou.

The feudal lord has done meritorious service. According to the tradition, only the small head is used to increase the rank and rank, and the big head of the reward falls on the fief, which is closely related to the vital interests of each fief citizen.

For farmers who face the loess and back to the blue sky, their sons and daughters have to farm for a living for generations. They have no money to let their children and grandchildren study and read to get fame.And having a good lord on the stall is a good way to easily change the standard of living, and it is something that makes people extremely jealous.

In less than two years, the Northwest Army reported success again and again, and Jinzhou's treatment was raised again and again. Because the per capita arable land area stipulated by the imperial court has continued to expand, the land area of ​​Jinzhou has quadrupled accordingly, and the people's treatment has faintly surpassed that of the imperial capital. trend.

If there is such a good thing, the credit must be put on the head of the feudal lord, and the people of Jinzhou know it well.The sky has made great achievements, and these people are full of confidence and honor, and they all praise him higher than the sky in their hearts.

The land policy announced by Prince Cheng when he rebelled was envied by others, but it was not enough in the eyes of the people of Jinzhou. On the contrary, because they had to share the land equally with the people in the surrounding counties, each of them actually controlled a lot less land.

After Cang Jingcheng struggled, the one who rebounded the most was himself, his old neighbor. Due to the resistance of the people of Jinzhou from time to time, the towns and cities of Jinzhou suffered the least damage.

Prince Cheng, who dared to encourage farmers to burn down buildings in other places, did not even dare to risk his head in Jinzhou.

This time when Cang Tiansu arrived, the people of Jinzhou still had the rewards on their heads, and they could still enjoy the previous highest-level preferential treatment. Naturally, everyone was elated and elated.

It's a pity that the emperor's life was in the body, the car didn't stop, and he didn't even take a look at the Lord's Mansion. The brigade passed across Jinzhou, and went directly to Yunzhou. Embarrassing for the blind to see.

As soon as the Jinzhou incident happened, Cang Tianci keenly felt that the attitude of the people in the carriage towards his eldest brother became more respectful and docile, and there was even a hint of fanaticism flickering in their eyes looking at Cang Tiansu.

No matter how flattered these few people were on weekdays, they had never experienced a scene where millions of people cheered together.It is the biggest dream in every young man's heart to become famous and return to his hometown.The elder brother's love in Jinzhou surpassed everyone's imagination, which was naturally a great stimulus to Yao Lan and the others.

In life, who wouldn't want to live such a vigorous and joyful life?

Regarding this point, the second prince did not feel any surprise at all.What puzzled Cang Tianci was that his elder brother was not at all happy about it.

Even when Cang Tiansu pulled him on the horse and waved to the people on both sides with a smile on his face, from his angle, he could see the slight shaking of the elder brother's left leg—Cang Tianci lost his mind for a moment, he hadn't seen it for many years, Is this a small gesture that symbolizes that the eldest brother is in an extremely bad mood?

Before he could figure it out, Cang Tiansu had ordered the convoy to speed up and change the original plan. Banzhuxiang didn't have time to stay, and left Jinzhou overnight, and several people even slept in the carriage to make do.

And the first thing Cang Tiansu did when he got off his horse and returned to the carriage was to spread out the memorial of the king of the county, and wrote a nearly [-]-character confession to the "comatose" Emperor Jing who was far away in the capital. Send it to the capital with a high profile.

Cang Tiansu didn't deliberately hide the matter of making an apology from the people in the car, so Cang Tianci went up to have a look cheekily, and was a little surprised to find that his elder brother had revealed all about Chen Guzi's rotten sesame seeds.

Even Pingye Tucheng and Juerda's leak of secrets, the so-called "crimes" that can't be blamed on him, can make Cang Tiansu feel heartbroken and blame himself, give full play to the spirit of being taken advantage of, and make the Northwest Army's actions in the past few years not so appropriate The matter, including all the responsibilities, was taken on his own head.

No matter how many younger brothers were born in the palace, just like a few years ago, Cang Tianci was still the only one who won the love of his father who was biased towards the sea. They will reveal it to him with ulterior motives, and naturally know that many things here have nothing to do with Cang Tiansu.Seeing that his elder brother took the scapegoat without complaining, and even seemed a little happy, he couldn't help but start to twitch the corners of his eyes.

Seeing that he directly asked to take off the county king's hat on his head at the end, the second prince of Cang Kingdom was even more frightened, and really couldn't understand what was going on.

Cang Tianci had doubts in his heart, and he wanted to make insinuations many times, but was diverted by Cang Tiansu's calm words. Although he was disappointed, he was really relieved.

——In any aspect, my ability is far from that of my elder brother. In addition to my own initiative to give in, shouldn't my elder brother have loosened his defense against him?

What Cang Tianci didn't know was that his good elder brother was not afraid of him from the beginning to the end, but Emperor Cang Jing who stood behind the second prince of Cang Kingdom.

With Cang Tiansu's current ability, it would not take too much effort if he really made up his mind to crush any prince to death, but the author gave Cang Tian a golden finger.

Behind him, Emperor Jing was so mighty and full of majestic aura, needless to say a word, when Shi Shi ran a wink at him, Cang Tiansu immediately went limp, and didn't dare to make a sound.

In order to let the favored son take the throne, kill all the other sons who are capable of competing for the throne, and then circle the sons who are not capable of competing for the throne-Cang Tiansu never thought that Emperor Jing would fail to do such a good thing.

When the old emperor left, he left a dozen or so princes to the world, and within a few years of the new emperor's succession, the Cang family would become a single line again.People from the Cang family have played this routine for more than 20 generations, and there has never been an exception for hundreds of years.

Even if Cang Jinglan himself couldn't withstand the pressure from the Queen Mother, and reluctantly spared Cang Jingcheng's life, and made Chengjun King, wouldn't he be completely obliterated by this excuse?

For that seat, killing his son, his brother, and even his father is not an uncommon thing in the Cang family.Cang Tiansu must be more cautious when it comes to his incomprehensible old man, not to act hastily.
