No shortage of walls

There is no hatred between countries, only interests. However, Chen returned to the Song Dynasty, which was also rich in lump salt, but the price of fine salt was low. After the Qi people captured Wu and Yue, they had no neighboring countries, so they could only sell it to Song and Hu. The Hu people are used to eating fine salt, but they are not used to coarse salt. No matter what, coarse salt is not as clean as fine salt. It is slightly lower quality and contains sea mud. How can it be compared to fine salt? There are no grades of fine salt, they are all Grade A quality. Unlike coarse salt, which has to be carefully looked at, Kuang Song's fine salt has never been worried about its quality since its introduction. If the Hu people were poor before, there was nothing they could do about it. Now that they have money, who would buy the poor quality salt? ?

Besides, good quality fine salt is five dollars cheaper than coarse salt.

The quality is good and cheap, to be fair. You won’t even buy poor quality and expensive ones.

Song Xing instructed the Ministry of Rites to negotiate, and Yi Zhouquan was responsible for accepting it in order to slow down the chance of war. However, the price was extremely low, and he wanted to sell rather than sell, so there was no war between Song and Qi for a while. So he called Liu Xiong back and asked them to protect the northern border, that is, Qi people went to war. There is no problem for Long Quan to support the Zhijunzhi.

The second prince of Qi State used the plan of provincial relatives to seize Yue and Wu as Qi. After making great achievements, the prince was deposed again, and he gradually became the heir apparent.

However, the court officials gradually discovered that it seemed easier for the three princes to negotiate and buy things from the Song Dynasty. When selling to the Song Dynasty, no matter what the three princes said to sell, the Song Dynasty was willing to pay more, so naturally they did not know that the Song Dynasty was intentional; gradually Rumors started. He said that the second prince has not yet negotiated the results and is prepared to take kickbacks. At least you should wait until the business is done, and start to be careful while the negotiations are still ongoing. Raise an army privately, seize noble properties, have been married for a long time, have no offspring, suffer from infertility, have some abnormal relationships with nobles in the palace, one thing a day, hundreds of past events, many of which are hurt weathering.

The third prince sent people to investigate and found out a few things that were true.

If, as a prince, you have infertility, which is a terminal illness; if you become emperor but have no descendants, who would dare to support you before you become emperor? It’s not like there’s no one to choose from, so Qi Jun only has this son? Since Qi Jun has more than one son and is suffering from infertility, it is definitely a fatal disease.

What does it mean to raise a private army?

Could it be that since you are terminally ill with infertility, you have already started preparing for your troops? But I’m not dead yet, Qi Jun? What are you going to do?

But the second prince is infertile, even if he mobilizes troops to take the supreme position, what will happen after ten thousand years?

Although the courtiers did not dare to say it openly, they had such thoughts and responded in front of the palace. The second prince had not yet spoken out, and he was a dragon. Although they would not attack the second prince all at once, they certainly would not speak for him. You must know that in the court, no one in the civil and military circles speaks to you. After a long time, Jun's father will inevitably feel strange in his heart.

When the prince becomes a transparent person and no one sees him, the problem is not small. No matter how capable you are, someone must see you while your father is still there. Even the emperor himself and the courtiers dared not see him, and they dared to evade the imperial power, but it would not be of much use.

The noble person in the palace is a concubine!

Every piece of it, just like the real thing.

This is of course Liu Gongquan's plan. He has been keeping an eye on the second prince for a long time and has been planning it from the beginning. Regarding his affairs, of course it is true. As for the secrets in the palace, those unknown things are of course blown out.

Ever since he knew that the second prince of Qi State was unparalleled in resourcefulness, Liu Gongquan kept an eye on him while sending a message to the people from the Ministry of National Security, thinking that he was deposing the crown prince.

At first it was support, but later it was crippled. He helped him kill the prince, and helped the third prince to fight against him. It's just that Liu Gongquan is not a powerful official of Qi State after all. He can only slander him with rumors, find out what good things he has to sell to the third prince, and control the business. Liu Gongquan couldn't use any further skills.

Outsiders really don’t do much. We can only use some means to make the important officials of Qi State stare at the third prince and not see the second prince.

The purpose is to prevent Qi Jun from being busy establishing a crown prince. The crown prince has just been deposed and if he wants to establish a crown prince, he has to wait. Even if he must establish a crown prince, he must also establish a third prince, because the third prince is not as good as the second prince.

Everything he did was mainly to support the third prince.

Just like a person, if he steals a chicken on the first day of junior high school, a dog on the second day of junior high school, and whatever else he steals on the third and fourth day of junior high school, say ten things about him; suddenly you say that he stole a buffalo from your house yesterday, even if it means you have completely wronged him. , if every one of the first ten things can be publicly proven to be stolen by him, as for your buffalo, others will believe it, and no one will believe anything the thief says.

Moreover, the affairs in the palace can only be told lies. The most serious thing is that the second prince has been married for more than a year, and he has concubines, concubines, and the status of prince. There are dozens of women at least, and there is no one yet. Fertility is a big problem.

If the prince cannot have children, it will be a big problem if he becomes the emperor; as long as there is still a choice, no emperor will choose his son who cannot have children to be the prince.

The third prince wanted to go one step further. The prince had been abolished and his father had no future. If he were to establish a prince again, he and his brother should have equal opportunities. Besides, everyone has a confidant. In order to achieve success in the future, of course he hopes that his master will become the emperor and sit on the supreme position. As for the third prince, not to mention that he aspires to the supreme position. Even if he doesn't have this intention, he will inevitably be angered by his subordinates.

As the supreme person in the world, for thousands of years, countless people have died and countless fratricidal incidents have occurred. For the Di family, it is not a strange thing.

After all, if you sit on that chair, you will have the power of life and death in the world. The third prince knew that his elder brother was infinitely more powerful than him, and that he was also older than himself. For the sake of the supreme position, of course he had to seize every opportunity to overthrow the second prince brother, so that he could have a chance to stand out.

This kind of thing, as long as the master gives a little hint, the people under his command will do it. Now that the three princes have made it clear that they want to be emperor, their subordinates must be desperate to help. For his own bright future, of course he can only realize it if his master becomes his father. Other masters only look after their own men. Therefore, of course, if the subordinates obtain evidence that is not conducive to the emperor's brother, they must make full use of it. No thought was given to where the news came from.

What's more, the people who got the good news were people from Song State's National Security Department, so naturally they wouldn't betray Song State. On the contrary, because of their outstanding abilities and the fact that they often found out good news about the second prince, they were reused and rose to prominence. And because the third prince got good news and had good means, his father gradually favored him, and the courtiers came closer, trying to figure out where the news came from.

Although Liu Gongquan did some things too shamelessly, for the sake of the Song Dynasty, no matter how shameless things were, he had to do it.

For the sake of our country, nothing is shameful. As long as it is beneficial to the Song State, so many people from the Ministry of National Security will not even risk their lives. Why would you care if something is ethical?
