Chapter 646: Deng House
The Qin State in November is destined to be recorded in history and become a rich January that has changed the foundation of Qin State's rule for more than a hundred years.
Deng Hong, the head of the Deng family, was transferred from the border army and returned to Yongdu. At the same time, he was named King of Kaiping. He was far away from Kaiping County and Xu Kaiping County to govern taxes and autonomously, and at the same time led the national army. In other words, Deng Hong replaced Li Zhi's previous position, but had the honor that Li Zhi did not have, which was that he became the first king of different surnames in the history of Qin.
Nearly two years after leaving the army, Deng Pu returned to the border army again and replaced his father Deng Hong's position. In fact, Kaiping County has become the private territory of the Deng family, and all taxes and official appointments are decided by himself.
But corresponding to this is the change in the position of the Bian clan. On the surface, the Bian clan was defeated in this battle in Qin, and his clan was expelled from Yongdu and left the power center of Qin. From the largest Qin clan that had previously surpassed the Deng clan, he fell to the local tyrant. But what we must see was that the Bian clan brought 20,000 Thunder Army to the Qin-Chu border. Bian Wushuang replaced his son Bian Wenzhong and became the commander of the Qin-Chu border army. The 100,000 border troops and 20,000 Thunder Army also fell into the hands of the Bian clan. At the same time, the county magistrate of Qinghe County on the Qin side of the Luoying Mountains was also led by Bian Wushuang.
With such an arrangement, the Qin State actually formed two major military groups. Although the Bian family was defeated in an infighting, they were not defeated and their strength should not be underestimated. In fact, fundamentally speaking, the Qin State changed from the triangular stalemate to the confrontation between the two strong people today. After a incident with the Bian family, they were even more firmly tied together. After losing the ability to threaten the royal family, the Bian family would make the royal family use them more at ease. Although the Deng family won this infighting, from another perspective, they completely embarked on the road of competing with the royal family.
Deng Fang's death made Deng lose his arm. Among the Deng family, although Deng Hong was the head of the family, in fact, Deng Hong led the border army all year round, and Deng Fang was responsible for the operation and planning of the entire family. Moreover, Deng Fang was the leader of the Qin intelligence organization. After Deng Fang's death, the position of supervisory censor he served as did not appoint new personnel to take over, but was personally led by the crown prince Ma Chao. Without strong support in intelligence, Deng family lost his brightest pair of eyes later.
After knowing that he was unable to escape, Li Zhi killed Deng Fang and accurately pinched Deng's seven inches. Both Deng Hong and Deng Pu lacked the ability to control the overall situation in politics.
The Deng Mansion has become the hottest place in Yongdu. Not long ago, this grand mansion was a vast territory in Yongdu. Although the Deng family had great power in the border army, it was suppressed very much in Yongdu. All the people who were involved in the Deng family were suppressed and could not turn over.
Thirty years from Hedong to Hexi, and now, outside the Deng Mansion, there are traffic. Countless officials are rushing in, and everyone wants to come and hug this freshly released thigh.
If Deng Fang was still there, he would definitely open the door to welcome these guys who had avoided Deng's family in the past. Even if he was despised in his heart, he would welcome them into the door with a smile and accept them. But now, Deng Fang has become a corpse in a huge coffin in the Deng family's lobby. Both Deng Hong and Deng Pu are typical soldiers' styles. Even if they can't say they are deeply disgusted with such fence-bearing, they will never want them to appear in the Deng Mansion at this time.
The only ones who could enter the gate of the Deng Mansion to mourn were the frustrated officials of the Deng family who were suppressed by the royal family and the Bian family before. They guarded the clouds and saw the moon brightly. Although their faces were filled with sadness, they were really excited. Everyone knew deeply that their good days were coming.
In the side room next to the mourning hall, Kaiping King Deng Hong took off his armor and put on casual clothes, but he looked even older, with sparse and white hair, wrinkles on his face squeezed on his face, and his sharp eyes, which were now much more turbid.
When he was old, he lost his son and gave him a black-haired man, which made this veteran Qin State a little unable to hold on.
Sitting on the middle chair, holding the back of the chair with both hands, but eyes passed through the open door, looking at the coffin surrounded by cigarettes in the middle of the lobby and Deng Fang's wife and children kneeling on both sides of the coffin.
In his lower head, Deng Pu and Deng clan officials sat on both sides to accompany each other.
"Li Zhi, Li Zhi, you and I have been together for a lifetime. When it comes to the end, you actually killed my son with your own hands. In your heart, is it the root cause of the chaos of Qin?" He whispered angrily. "My Deng just wants to gather the power of the whole country to boost the power of the Great Qin. Why do you think this is the evidence that my Deng wants to rebel? The Great Qin, relying on those who are in corpse and those who are free to eat, can protect the country's fortune forever?"
Everyone in the room was silent.
"Li Shuai, Li Shuai, you are wrong. The chaos has begun and the major changes have come. If you follow your plan and still cannot concentrate the national power together, I, Daqin, will be really finished. Looking at Qi Chuming, that country is not centralized and unified. With one order, the whole country dares to follow each other. Only our Daqin, because of your Li Zhi's shrinking head and tail, has made us like this? Restraint and balance brings internal friction. How can you get things done when you do things? You are about to die, but you still have to put on such a pose, hahaha, it's really ridiculous."
Deng Pu said in a deep voice: "Father, the emperor has given you the honor of King Kaiping. It seems to be the first king of Qin in more than a hundred years, but it really contains evil intentions. Kaiping is the territory we stolen in the past, and now it is clearer. Qin Feng, the Ming Dynasty, will inevitably think about taking back this land. Now he has not yet achieved his strength, but it does not mean that he will not do this in the future. Once he quells the domestic chaos and consolidates domestic rule, once the national strength is strengthened, his vision will inevitably be on us. This King Kaiping is a medicine introduction."
"Yes, this eye drop is very light. All the officials are controlled by the taxes, King Kaiping, who is my private territory of Deng. This arrangement is to destroy the current cooperation with Ming, which makes us feel rifty, and thus pull the Ming country over. But this is an open conspiracy, and it is clear that it is like this, but can I not want Kaiping County? If I don't want it, how can I support the army? How to strengthen the army?" Deng Hong sighed. "The current plan is to make us stronger, so strong that Ming country dares not easily provoke. If you go to Kaiping County, you should follow this strategy and give everything you should give, and you can't give up any of it."
Deng Pu nodded.
"In one or two years, the Ming Kingdom will not attack us. It depends on our own situation." Deng Hong continued: "If we cannot solve the problem of internal friction for a long time, then it may be possible."
"The first thing to eliminate internal friction is to consolidate and strengthen our own strength. Father, His Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to Hulao Pass to see Xiao Qiang." Deng Pu said.
Deng Hong sneered, "He made the wrong plan. Xiao Qiang is the general promoted by me, Deng Hong. Although he has established his own business now, it is a matter of no way to think about it if he betrayed me. When I left Kaiping County, Xiao Qiang sent someone to see me with his son."
"What did he say?" Deng Pu asked.
"He asked me for marriage for his son." Deng Hong's eyes passed through the gate and looked at a young woman kneeling beside the coffin.
"Shu'er?" Deng Pu was shocked.
"That's right!" Deng Hong nodded.
"Father, there is a lot of mystery here. Shu'er is the eldest brother's real daughter. Now that the eldest brother has gone, Shu'er should have a three-year filial piety period. Xiao Qiang's move has given him a three-year buffer period." Deng Pu frowned.
"All I want is his attitude." Deng Hong said: "You can get engaged first, and let the Qin Dynasty look at it. The Qin border army is still firmly controlled by my Deng family. As long as we handle the affairs of the court as soon as possible, Xiao Qiang will not repeat it."
"That 100,000 border troops in Luoying Mountains?" Deng Puxin was unwilling to accept it. That was because he had led the troops for many years and devoted half of his life to it.
Deng Hong shook his head: "Then don't think about it. Bian Wushuang is not Bian Wenzhong. Bian Wushuang's parents go. It's only a matter of time before these 100,000 border troops were turned into Bian's private army. Don't forget that in order to help Bian Wushuang hold the 100,000 border troops, Li Zhi brought him 20,000 Thunder Army to help Bian Wushuang take over the 100,000 border troops."
"Old man Li Zhi!" Deng Pu punched the table with a bang. This was the first time he spoke ill of Li Zhi.
"Everyone is about to die, what else can I say!" Deng Hong sighed, "I don't even have a partner to seek revenge on him. However, we Deng family will not give them the 100,000 border troops to them quickly and quickly. Didn't Bian Wushuang take away 20,000 Thunder Army? Then we will draw some elite troops from the 100,000 border troops in Chu to make up for the gap. If anyone wants to do not want to, you can pick it and go to the roster of the Ministry of War. As long as you pick it, you have to come back. Our Deng family took out 100,000 border troops, and the Thunder Army will also give us half. If this transaction is not agreed, then it might as well make the situation a little more chaotic."
Deng Pu nodded slowly, "What my father said is."
"Dai Shulun!" Deng Hong turned his head and looked at a middle-aged man with a dark face on the other side. His status was not low, so he sat on the second chair to Deng Hong's right hand. The first chair was empty. It should have been Deng Fang's, but Deng Fang was already lying in the coffin. Dai Shulun was sitting in a very interesting position. His chair leaned back a lot, hiding himself in a shadow. Hearing Deng Hong's name, he stood up silently and lowered his head slightly.
"You have always been the deputy of the uncle and the person you trust the most. Now that the uncle has left, the sand ant will be taken away by the royal family. You will definitely not be retained. You have to get out of it immediately, otherwise you may not be able to live a life. How many people can you pull out from it?"
"The uncle left suddenly, and we were completely unprepared. Now we can only pull away the most trustworthy person. Other candidates who cannot be determined cannot be pulled even if they can." The voice was low, as if they had deliberately changed their voice.
"Li Zhi is about to die, your time is limited. Once Li Zhi dies, the crown prince will take action as soon as the funeral is over, so hurry up." Deng Hong ordered: "Deng's family will never trust the sand ant again. We want to build another intelligence system."
