Indeed, in all the stories about coups and treason, money was indispensable.
Whether it was used to reward the soldiers who sacrificed their lives or to bribe the generals, money was the most effective and useful thing.
Therefore, in those stories, once people wanted to stage a coup, for the start, the first thing they do was find someone with a lot of money.
There were many wealthy people in Huaiyang City.
But their wealth was all a far cry from that in the national treasury.
The only person who could draw silver ingots from the treasury in a short period was the old His Excellency Xun Fang, the Minister of Revenue.
Therefore, if Prince of Liang wanted to stage a coup, for a start, he needed His Excellency Xun to draw some money from the treasury.
In the year of Chenghua, one vice minister of the Ministry of Revenue did so by chance. He embezzled 300,000 taels of silver ingots from tho
Obviously, whether people in the Chen or those in the Zhou Kingdom knew that the Zhou Kingdom was in a difficult situation at present.The Chen Kingdom had attacked the Zhou Kingdom by all means with the support of the Yanling Emperor. Although Beiyan County of Zhou was not taken up by the army of the Chen Kingdom, everyone knew that the Zhou Kingdom was indeed in a difficult situation now.“Outside Beiyan County, the fight with the army of the Chen Kingdom had been in a stalemate for more than a year. We had some notable victories in battle. If military strength were well matched, perhaps I would have led my army across the border of the Chen Kingdom and arrived in this land of the Chen Kingdom by now. Perhaps after some time, the Chen Kingdom will only exist in the annals of history by historiographers, and not in the world anymore.”“Unfortunately, the military strengths of the two sides are truly too far away from each other. No matt
Li Fuyao had done what he could do in the current situation in Huaiyang City. He wanted to do something more, but he had to wait until Prince Liang made a move. He had to see what the situation would develop in Huaiyang City before making new plans.Xie Ying, who came to Huaiyang City with his back to the wall, relaxed a lot. The most important general in the army of Zhou Kingdom now felt happy for unexplained reasons when he thought that he was highly possibly going to die in the battlefield.It was a worthy death for an army man to die in the battlefield.Previously, he had a drink together with Li Fuyao, and when he drank to his heart’s content, he told Li Fuyao about the ongoing war of Zhou Kingdom. As an insider, although it was hard for Xie Ying to be defeated outside Beiyan County and his reputation had spread to the places other than Chen Kingdom and Zhou Kingdom, he still didn’t think that their kingdom would go through this cou
Until today, or until the previous moment, no matter the mansion of Prime Minister Luan, the mansion of Prince Liang, or Li Fuyao and Xie Ying, they all ignored one thing on purpose.And Luan Yan figured out the most important part in the entire situation.It was why the Emperor was indifferent when the situation in Huaiyang City was not opaque any more. Apart from summoning the ministers of six ministries and the commanders of Imperial Army, and secretly put Xue Yu, the chief of Imperial Household Department to death, the Emperor took no other actions.It was too flat.In Huaiyang City, Luan Ping was the most prestigious, Prince Liang was the most talented in military and the most ambitious, Prince Qi was the last one to compete, and Li Fuyao was eager to see a messy Huaiyang City.But the owner of Huaiyang City was the Emperor of Chen Kingdom.This point was beyond all doubts.Thus, i
When the Imperial Army of the west camp was going to the Imperial Study, Prince Liang took his time getting to the south gate.Prince Liang was wearing his armor and leading the private soldiers of his mansion. Prince Liang got a huge figure and with his armor on, he looked nothing different from other warriors on the battlefield.However, after Prince Liang passed through the south gate and got to the path of the palace, his face soon turned pale with fear.A head was hung on the overhanging eave of the turret in front of the path.Prince Liang fixed his eyes upon the head and found that it was Chen Yin’s.A member of the royal family, who was supposed to have a bright future, was killed tonight.Prince Liang stopped his horse.Countless generals and soldiers of the Imperial Army appeared on the path with sword in their hands. They stared at Prince Liang who plotted a rebellion.
In an instant, the atmosphere became weird. Prince Qi, who never scrambled for anything in Huaiyang City, opened his mouth just now and his tone was tough.All the master-hands from the Imperial Palace were dumbfounded for a moment.Before they came here, someone had suspected that Prince Qi was in the Xun Mansion, but as a matter of fact, these master-hands who had earned a name in the society of Chen Kingdom had never put Prince Qi in their eyes.In Huaiyang City, even the people from the poorest corners of society knew about Prince Qi’s personality. When they talked about him, they always said that he never strove for anything or he lived a secluded life, while some radical ones would possibly say that he was good-for-nothing or timid.But no one dared to say that they knew exactly what Prince Qi was thinking.Anyway, no one cared.Especially these master-hands form the palace. They never minded
It was full of twists and turns in the Imperial Palace this night, but anyway, the stability here was restored. Prince Liang and his follower were tied up and brought outside the Imperial Study. Among them was the middle-aged scholar who didn’t pass the provincial civil service examination. Compared with Prince Liang, who was driven to distraction, the middle-aged scholar had no emotion on his face. It looked as if he had expected such a result.The Imperial Army of the four camps calmed down too. Li Fulu, the new chief of the Imperial Household Department, was still on his knees outside the Imperial Study. The young eunuch didn’t feel sorry at all, and he was thinking of his master absentmindedly. When it was over this night, he should meet his master in the other world.The Emperor was standing outside the Imperial Study. Around him, eunuchs and maids were holding red lanterns, so it was as bright as day there.He glanced at Prince Lia
A streak of sword Qi dashed toward Prince Qi.Just as Prince Qi was busy with the sword Qi, Li Fuyao passed another move, which cut open the energy again. Taking this chance, he swept over quickly and in the blink of an eye, he was close to Prince Qi with Green Strand in his hand.The sword Qi around him failed to show restraint and Green Strand kept chirping in his hand.The swordsmen in this world could kill enemies with their swords, and they also could deal with the injustices around with their meter-long swords.It was well known that Chao Qingqiu, the only Sword Immortal in human world, had reached the top of swordsmanship, but he didn’t feel like controlling his sword to kill people. In the few battles that he confronted the sages, he used his sword to fight with his opponents. He never applied the remarkable technique of cutting people’s head off with his sword a thousand miles away. Even so, no one dared to say that
At the end of autumn in the sixth year of Shending, a rain fell down in Shaoliang City of Dazhou.It was the last autumn rain before winter fell, because it was the Winter Solstice tomorrow.It would be winter in entire Dazhou.In previous years, the Imperial Household Department would send moderate winter gifts to the mansions of various officials. In the past years, the officials on the court would widen their eyes to see who got the most gifts, who got the most expensive ones and who got the least expensive ones.According to the rules of previous years, the Mansion of the Prime Minister would be in the first place, and then one of the several reputed old scholars would be in the second place.It was not easy to see the Emperor’s attitude to these officials from trivial matters as this, but these old foxes, who had gone through numerous hardships, were reluctant to give up such a chance.The leas
When one makes up one's mind to kill someone, it is actually much easier than even before.You don't have to care about anything else, as long as you give full play to your strongest strength, all you have to do is to kill the other party.Li Fuyang's sword nineteen swept towards Qiushu, buying him little time, so he could only settle the fight with Sheng Yuan in the shortest possible time.That was why Li Fuyang's very first sword was an all-out effort.It's called opening the door.The sword light in the sky went towards Sheng Yuan, the sword qi was like a big net wrapping Sheng Yuan in it, Li Fushang's hand holding the sword didn't tremble at all.It was a matter of life and death, and he seemed calm.It was just that he had still misjudged Sheng Yuan's realm, and killing was not a simple matter.Even if you think it's not hard.Sheng Yuan's sword was a long sword with a ghastly white blade, and there were some weird patterns
Between swordsmen and swordswomen, they should have been divided by their sword cultivation.After Li Fuyang handed out a sword, he immediately handed out a second sword before that one sword qi was about to dissipate.This kind of sword striking before the old qi had been exhausted and the new qi had not yet been born was not something that an ordinary swordsman would be able to do.Fortunately, as early as before, the three master uncles at the foot of the Sword Mountain had taught Li Fushang, so that he could do this, it was not particularly difficult, on the contrary, it was Qiu Su, although there was a master teacher, but that master teacher had not really taught him that seriously.Therefore, in this instant, he was quite a bit worse than Li Fuyang.With this sword, a large gash was torn open in his belly.Only not half a drop of blood came out.The reason was still because there was still a sword qi seeping in there in the small of hi
Autumn is fading away.Demon soil climate than the mountains and rivers, is really much colder, counting the days, it should have been late fall, but Li Fushang this way towards the Qingtian City, has caught up with several small snow.By the time he had traveled a little more than half the distance, at the moment of dusk, he was greeted with his first heavy snowfall in the Demon Lands.The snowflakes drifted down like goose feathers, and soon the shoulders of Li Fuyang, who was reluctant to use his sword qi to drive away the snowflakes, were covered in white snow.As for Feng Lu, there were even snowflakes hanging all over his body.A man and a donkey walked along the riverbank with a calm demeanor.Li Fuyang this time traveled to that Qingtian City where it was expressly forbidden to engage in private fights, he didn't walk fast, in fact, from the words of Qing Tianjun, Li Fuyang knew something, one thing he could be sure of was that before he a
In the battle in the wine shop, before the woman selling wine said those words, the situation was tilted towards Qiu Feng Man and Sheng Liang, but after the woman selling wine came in and said those words, the situation started to tilt towards Chen Sheng.Sheng Liang's sword began to slow down, while Qiu Feng Man's sword was as it always was.The two senior brothers were both geniuses on Sword Mountain back then, their natural talent needs no introduction, if it wasn't enough, it wouldn't be enough to let Old Ancestor Xu Silence personally take in a disciple.One must know that at that time, Xu Silence was still the one considered by the world to be the most likely to become a Sword Immortal.Qinghuai didn't let Chen Sheng die because he didn't want to make Li Fuyang sad.Sheng Liang wanted Chen Sheng to die in order to live a more comfortable life.Once he realized that killing Chen Sheng himself would most likely kill him, he developed other emo
There was destined to be a big battle in the wine shop, three Chao Mu Realm swordsmen combined, even a Spring and Autumn Realm cultivator wouldn't dare to mess with them at will, if it wasn't for that talisman, I think the battle would have been even more noticeable.It's just that the striking consequence is also death.If you move your weapon in Qingtian City and are so blatant, you will naturally die.Qing Tian Jun's temperament was like the thick fog in this Qing Tian City, it was impossible to see.But since it was his word, it was the biggest rule in this Qingtian City.Qinghuai stood at the entrance of the liquor store. After hesitating for a long time, he finally didn't walk in, even though he knew that the young man he cared about was being counted on. Even knowing that there would be two Tai Qing Realm cultivators who were going to take his life.Her man, who was supposed to have the ability to eliminate all difficulties, was supposed to
The sword light was the sword handed out by Chen Sheng.Even though he had been drinking for days and reeked of alcohol, the moment he picked up his sword, he was a proud and powerful swordsman.His realm had long been on the verge of leaving the morning and evening and moving towards spring and autumn, only that it had never been revealed.At least no matter how you looked at it, he was in a much higher realm than this tall man in front of him.Besides, he was only standing within a foot of him.Within a foot in front of the swordsman is dead ground.Thus, when that sword light was born, Chen Sheng saw the fear in that tall man's eyes.He was amazed at Chen Sheng's kendo cultivation, and he hadn't thought that Chen Sheng would really draw his sword.This is Green Sky City, not some other place.It was a good thing that the sword light was heading towards his neck, but it ended up falling to be stopped by another sword.The
Qingtian City's autumn, the climate is strange, obviously before a few days are still high sunshine, these two days will be the autumn wind whistling, the temperature plummeted.Even yesterday night, there was a modest snowfall, only the snow is too small, has not yet paved the streets with snow, wait until after the light of day gradually rise, raise your eyes, you can only see the slightly wet ground.There is no other special light.Qingtian City, which entered the autumn light, was the foggiest time of the year, and before noon, the whole city would be covered with a large rainy fog.The city is not without realm cultivation not bad cultivators, not can not dispel this layer of rain and fog, but the fog covers the Qingtian City, who do not know if it is the Qingtian Jun deliberately, who dares to arbitrarily dispel this city full of fog?Located in the city of that restaurant, originally not many drinkers, now Qingtian City more so many people, thin
In the city of Luoyang, the fall rains continue.This is already do not know is Cheng Yusheng the first time to sit on the threshold of their own home to watch the autumn rain, in the beginning back to Luoyang City in those days, this Cheng family young master because like a certain woman, but not the other party to like, to be dazed will take a string of sugar gourds to a certain little girl's home, in her home on the threshold of the seat, the two people, eating sugar gourds.The little girl Li Xiaoxue will not think of anything big, but it is he Cheng Yusheng will be for his favorite girl despondent and lost in thought.Now that some years had passed, although he had always still thought about that girl, and from time to time he would still go to that mansion to look at the peach blossom tree that she had planted back then, he hadn't actually fallen that deeply into it.Besides, he, the knife hugger, really didn't have much time to spare.Ever since
Re-carrying the sword box out of the already devastated Green Rune City, Li Fuyang, soon returned to the city outside the boulder before the previous stone on the Green Rune City three words, before Li Fuyang into the city, the stone on the green word as ink, Fu character half ink, half green, the city word is already completely changed into green.Now out of the city and look again, the three words on the boulder, the color of all faded, leaving only the stone itself traces, looks unusually depressed.As for the two burly men who were guarding the city before, they had already disappeared.In just half a day, the Qing Fu City had a series of great battles, completely changing the appearance of this Qing Fu City, which was built on the banks of the Sang River, and Li Fushang felt a little sigh of relief when he even thought about the time spent on the establishment of this city at the very beginning.More still confused and unaware.Arriving at the dens
