Chapter 921 A Conspiracy

Today's Dugu Clan has just started not long ago, and their foundation is not stable in Dazhou, so they are still unable to send troops.Moreover, Duguhuang also abides by the will of his ancestors, and the Dugu Clan must not compete for hegemony in the world.But now that the Dugu Clan's foundation in the Southern Tang Dynasty has been destroyed, there is no need for Duguhuang to abide by it. He can finally win over troops and strive for hegemony in the world.

But this matter must be done slowly. Although the current Dugu Clan is making a lot of money, part of it must be given to Lei Hong.But Zong Xin is dead at this time, is there any need for them to abide by this matter?
Dugu Huang asked curiously: "Princess, now that Zong Xin is dead, should the money earned by the Dugu Clan be distributed to the Lei Wang Mansion? The princess event is very helpful."

"I just wanted to talk about this when I came back. Although Zong Xin died, he made a good promise before he died. He let me run the Dugu Clan. There is no need for us to distribute the money to the Leiwang Mansion. Lei Hong is very rich, even if it is less The income from our side has no effect on him. Moreover, this is something Zong Xin gave me, and Lei Hong will not object. How much money does our Dugu Clan have now?"

Duguhuang said: "Returning to the princess, the Dugu Clan now has at least 200 million taels of silver available, but 50 taels of which will be used for daily circulation, so there is still 150 million taels available."

"You won't need so much. Prepare 50 taels of silver and [-] jars of shochu. After a while, I will personally send them to the front line to find Zhao Kuangyin and give them all to him as a gift for cooperation. Zhao Kuangyin cannot refuse these things. He will definitely cooperate with him. I will cooperate. In my capacity, no one will suspect that I am sending these things to Zhao Kuangyin. People like Lei Hong and Chai Rong will only think that this is Zong Xin’s order, so I can safely and boldly discuss cooperation with Zhao Kuangyin. We want Qi King Gao Xingzhou ’s territory, and then tightly control Fu Yanqing, we must reach the point where there would be no Cangzhou without us, the Dugu Clan, and then slowly take over the protection of Cangzhou affairs. At that time, no one would dare to mess with the Dugu Clan. As for Zong Xin’s talk about announcing the soju brewing process, Don't worry about it, let the Dugu clan be the only one in the world who can brew shochu. Without the support of the Dugu clan, Chai Rong would not dare to raise an army, and then slowly erode the power of the Zhou Dynasty."

"The princess is wise." X3
In fact, the three members of the Dugu Clan have always admired Dugu Xingyue. She was originally orthodox in the previous dynasty, but it was a pity that the prosperous Tang Dynasty perished and let him go into exile.In fact, Dugu Xingyue is a true talent for governing the country. When she was there, the Dugu clan ran smoothly, but it was really difficult to restore the prosperous Tang Dynasty, especially for a woman.

If Dugu Xingyue was a man, she might really be able to succeed on her own.But even if she was born as a daughter, the plans she made every time were perfect.But this time the plan is a bit strange, why did the princess cooperate with Zhao Kuangyin?Although Zhao Kuangyin is the kind of person who is open-eyed when he sees money, he is also the kind of person who is ruthless and ungrateful. Maybe Zhao Kuangyin has a lot of affection for Zong Xin, but he may not give this face to Dugu Xingyue.

"His Royal Highness, are you sure that Zhao Kuangyin will discuss cooperation? Zhao Kuangyin's reputation is very bad. According to our investigations over the years, people like Zhao Kuangyin will not care about anything as long as they have money. Even if the princess finishes the cooperation with him, maybe Zhao Kuangyin Nor will those promises be kept."

Dugu Xingyue said: "Your investigation is indeed correct, but there is one thing you didn't expect. Zhao Kuangyin's greatest wish in this life is not to ascend the throne and become emperor, he just wants to win Zong Xin, and he will be very happy if he wins Zong Xin in any way." Happy, he was so happy that he won Zong Xin last time in chess. Now that Zong Xin is dead, Zhao Kuangyin will never have this chance again. If I give him a chance to beat Zong Xin in a certain way, and it is The direction that a man cares most about, he will agree to anything."

Without too much explanation, Duguhuang understands that what men care about the most is not the things on the bed?This is the source of all a man's self-confidence.If Dugu Xingyue is willing to condescend to seduce, and keep saying that Zhao Kuangyin is stronger than Zong Xin, then he might be so happy.Coupled with the frequent wars during this period, Zhao Kuangyin broke with He Meiyu again, if Dugu Xingyue seduced her at this time, Zhao Kuangyin would definitely fall for it.

Dugu Xingyue's plan was not top-notch, it could even be said to be shameless.But as a woman, that's all she can do.Duguhuang naturally didn't dare to flatter her, but simply nodded.

"By the way, father-in-law, during this period of time, the Dugu Clan should stop doing business. Everyone will wear hemp filial piety and hold a funeral for Zong Xin. Although our important event is more important, we must do enough superficial work so that we cannot be seen by others. There is a flaw. What's more... I am also very sad about Zong Xin's death, and I can still set up a ranking for him and a piece of incense sooner or later."

Duguhuang nodded and said: "This has been done a long time ago. On the day the princess got married, she ordered her servants to prepare a spiritual tablet for Zong Xin, and to keep an incense stick for him in the morning and evening. As the saying goes, living people do not receive incense. Looking forward to the day of Zong Xin's death, Zong Xin's life is really tough, it took him so long to die..."

Dugu Xingyue also couldn't kill Zong Xin, that's why she came up with this method.It is just a folklore that living people are not incensed, but after he got to know Zong Xin, he believed in this kind of thing more and more.At the beginning, Qin Qiong, the great general of the Tang Dynasty, saved the lives of Li Yuan's family by saving the lives of Li Yuan's family. Li Yuan was so grateful that he could not repay him, so he set up a memorial tablet for him to enshrine in the morning and evening. As a result, Qin Qiong was forced to sell his horses and weapons because of Qin Qiong's high martial arts. , and finally almost starved to death on the streets...

At the beginning, Li Yuan thought of this method because he was kind but unable to repay his kindness, but at that time he didn't pay much attention to this kind of thing.It's just that Li Yuan's fate is the Ninth Five-Year King, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Shimin is the Mingjun of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. This family kowtows to one person every day, and Qin Qiong, an ordinary person, can't bear such worship.

Dugu Xingyue saw that Zong Xin had no intention of fighting for world hegemony, but she couldn't take action against Zong Xin. There were many reasons for this, one was reluctance and the other was unable to fight.Therefore, Dugu Xingyue hopes to imitate the method of his ancestors who almost killed Qin Qiong by accident and worship Zong Xin every day, hoping that he will die unexpectedly one day.

I don't know whether Zong Xin should have died in Zhao Jing's hands, or Dugu Xingyue's plan succeeded, anyway Zong Xin died.Dugu Xingyue didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, but she could only move forward.However, after following Zong Xin for so many years, she has no regrets at all, but the cause of restoring the prosperous Tang Dynasty must be done, which is almost the only purpose of her life.

For a certain period of time, Dugu Xingyue really forgot about her responsibilities, and she didn't remember until after Zong Xin's death.In her heart, Dugu Xingyue still didn't want Zong Xin to die like this, but since the matter had come to this point, Dugu Xingyue didn't want to delay her major event because of a dead person.

........................

After Zong Xin and his party finished eavesdropping, they immediately left the range of the Dugu Clan and returned to the inn where they stayed.At this time, Zong Xin was dressed up as a businessman in his 50s, and Yaoyao and Baiyu were dressed up as his buddies, helping with the moving, and Zong Xin was very stingy, and the three of them lived in the same room.But there are many such bosses, but no one cares.

After returning to the room, Zong Xin looked at Yaoyao and Bai Yu with his mouth curled. Sure enough, Zong Xin's feelings over the years were not wrong. Dugu Xingyue did have other intentions when he came to him, and Dugu Xingyue was the same as Zhao Kuangyin. to die.

Yaoyao said depressedly: "Sister Xingyue turned out to be a former princess? The bloodline is not surprising. It doesn’t matter if this identity is real or not, but sister Xingyue wants to seduce Zhao Kuangyin? And I guess she will say that Zhao Kuangyin is better than her husband in bed. This is the most unacceptable thing for me Things, you have to find a good subject to lie, how could Zhao Kuangyin be better than our husband?"

"Have you tried?"

"Bah~" Yaoyao said: "I am wholehearted towards my husband. If any other man dares to touch my hand, I will cut off that hand. Sister Xingyue is not a thing. I used to keep her As a sister, she has been looking forward to the death of her husband."

Zongdao: "Actually, I have had this feeling for a long time. It's just that Sister Xingyue hid it too well. I haven't seen anything wrong. I just feel that she is a little strange. But what I'm surprised about is another thing. Why is she acting like this?" Princess? Is there any evidence? I have never heard of such a thing as a princess in the prosperous Tang Dynasty living among the people. Besides, every emperor in the Tang Dynasty had more than a dozen children, and a princess is worthless? Is it necessary for her to do this? ?”

Yaoyao and Baiyu also have nothing to say, but what Zong Xin said is quite right, the Tang Dynasty has gone through 21 emperors, and each emperor has more than a dozen children, and these children have their own children, if there are more than a dozen... The number is so large that it is impossible to calculate, anyone may be directly related to Datang, and she is a princess?What's more, why is she a princess, even if he is a princess, so what?
"There is something strange." Zong Dao said, "I don't care about Sister Xingyue's identity. Maybe eight out of ten people caught anywhere are of the blood of emperors. There are hundreds of thousands, and the number of children born to these emperors is even more numerous, so identity and bloodlines don't matter. The most important thing is... Sister Xingyue is a little girl, why should she restore the prosperous Tang Dynasty? What if she restores the prosperous Tang Dynasty? Who will be the emperor in the end? Dugu Xingye or Dugu Xingchen?"

"There is a conspiracy..." X2
Although Bai Yu and Yaoyao's brains were not as good as Zong Xin's, they could see clearly when they jumped out of Dugu Xingyue's situation. This matter was originally very strange.Since the former princess can be found, why find a former prince to train him?Why do you have to find a princess?
Zong Xin's last sentence did remind Bai Yu and Yao Yao that maybe all of this is just a conspiracy by Dugu Huang.He deliberately cultivated a princess, even if the uprising was successful, the princess would not be able to be the emperor, and finally found a chance to kill her, and the throne would fall into his hands.
