A Clash of Gods - Chapter 1198

[Chapter 1188 Full of Treasures]

Xianyang is located in the hinterland of Qinchuan, which is eight hundred miles away.

Xianyang is the first city in the northwest and the center of the northwest. At the beginning of the establishment of the Northern Han Dynasty, there were frequent disturbances in the northwest. Kong, and precisely because of this, although the Beitang family took the lead in establishing a country in the north, they were unable to withdraw from the turmoil in the territory and went south to fight. Therefore, the Xiao family had enough time to sweep the south and establish the Great Chu Empire.

More than ten years ago, Qu Yuangu was transferred to the northwest as the general of Zhenxi. Since then, the Qu family has also taken root in the northwest.

Qu Yuangu was able to be transferred to the Northwest. In the final analysis, it was because of nepotism that his younger sister was beautiful. After entering the palace, she was deeply favored by the first emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty, Beitanghuan, and was awarded Jincheng again and again. The prince Beitangfeng, and after the death of the Queen of the Northern Han Dynasty, Beitanghuan canonized Concubine Qu as the empress, and the Qu family immediately became the magnificent relatives of the Northern Han Dynasty.

It is precisely because of Queen Qu that although Qu Yuangu was mediocre and even mediocre, he still made steady progress in his career and rose steadily in his career. In the end, he was even named the General of Zhenxi, and was transferred to the northwest to guard the counties in the northwest.

After Beitanghuan issued the decree, many people filed a petition and asked Beitanghuan to take it back.

In fact, many people know in their hearts that the Beitang family was a foreign relative of the Xianchu Empire back then. They rebelled and usurped the throne, but now they reuse their foreign relatives. It is inevitable that they should be careful about Qu Yuangu.

It’s just that Beitanghuan was originally an authoritarian emperor. I don’t know if it was because he loved Queen Qu so much that he didn’t care about people’s words, or because he felt that Qu Yuangu was mediocre and could not make any big waves. Qu Yuangu went well. He arrived in the northwest, and he stayed there for more than ten years.

The Qu family has been in the northwest for more than ten years, and there has been a lot of tossing. At the beginning, some officials from the northwest secretly courted the Beitang to accuse Qu Yuangu and his son for their misbehavior in the northwest. They not only exploited the people, but also supported the disciples. Without the slightest punishment, officials from Shangzhezi were successively convicted. Since then, the Qu family has been more confident in the northwest. Although they hated the father and son of the Qu family, they were helpless.

Qu Manbao was originally a son of an official family. He had been dressed in fine clothes and food since he was a child. He did things like bullying men and women when he was young, but he still had some restraint. When he arrived in the northwest, he relied on his aunt who was the queen and who was Zhenxi. The general’s father, who was even more unscrupulous, was already notorious in the northwest, and no one dared to provoke him.

Qu Yuangu commanded the troops to enter the pass and took his second son to the army, but left his eldest son, Qu Manbao, to guard in Xianyang.

There are not many people in Qu Manbao’s eyesight that he is afraid of, but the only one who is afraid is Qu Yuangu.

Qu Yuangu was born in the military,

has a rude temperament, and has no way to teach his son. When his temper comes, he is beaten with a horse whip. Although Qu Manbao is arrogant, he is still jealous of Qu Yuangu. He is unscrupulous outside, but he returns to Zhenxi University. The General’s Mansion is still quite restrained.

When Qu Yuangu left, Qu Manbao felt relaxed, his blood was tumbling, and he always wanted to fiddle with something.

He has been tossing around in the northwest for many years, bullying men and women too much, but he has no interest in it, but instead stares at Qu Yuangu’s concubine.

The Qu family father and son have a common hobby, that is, they are full of endless desire for beauty. Although Qu Yuangu is nearly sixty years old, he has more than a dozen concubines, and all of them are charming and charming.

Few of the women Qu Manbao liked in the northwest could escape his grasp. Only the women of Qu Yuangu did not dare to move. He occasionally saw his father’s beautiful concubines in the General’s Mansion in the west of town. , Although Qu Manbao was itching in his heart, he did not dare to get involved. This time Qu Yuangu led the troops to enter the customs. Even if everything went well, it would not be possible to return to the northwest within a few months. Those concubines were also taken care of by Qu Manbao.

For the first two days, Qu Manbao was considered a regular, but on the third night, he sneaked into Qu Yuangu’s most beautiful concubine’s room. Publicity.

After several days in a row, Qu Manbao lost interest, and got into other concubines’ rooms. The concubines in the house knew Qu Manbao’s temperament. , I’m afraid it will die inexplicably.

In less than two months, Qu Yuangu had six concubines who were forced by Qu Manbao, and no one dared to speak out.

Qu Manbao’s long-cherished wish was fulfilled, and he was naturally very excited. He announced his prostitution every day at the General’s Mansion in the west of town, but this person was not of long-term nature. After the exciting things passed, he soon lost interest.

Qu Yuangu has been guarding in the northwest for many years, and the mansion has kept many aides, some of which are taken in by Qu Yuangu himself, but there are also strangers from the rivers and lakes collected by Qu Manbao.

He was excessively indulgent, but one of the staff was a Taoist child who was proficient in alchemy. A few years ago, he secretly offered a medicinal pill to Qu Manbao. After he was exhausted, this aide also became a confidant around him. He was doing nonsense in the mansion, and others didn’t know it, but this aide who was a Taoist was very clear.

Qu Manbao continuously occupied his father’s concubines in the mansion, and he was naturally proud in his heart, but he did not dare to speak out about this matter, and it was extremely uncomfortable to hold it in his heart.

It rained in Xianyang, the rain was not heavy, but it was rainy.

Although Qu Manbao was left behind to guard Xianyang, the yamen in Xianyang had their own officials to maintain them. Qu Manbao didn’t need to do anything at all, and everything was running in an orderly manner.

He was bored and lazy, lying on a bench with a stove beside him. It was already winter. In the bitterly cold northwest, the weather was harsh. Even in the daytime, it was chilly, but the inside of the house was slightly warm like spring.

The table was full of melons, fruits, wines and vegetables, but Qu Manbao was not at all interested.

There was a knock on the door, and a voice came from outside the door: “Eldest son, there is a battle report from the front.”

“Come in!” Qu Manbao went into his father’s concubine’s house day and night, overindulgence. Although he took the medicine pill, he still felt that his body had no strength. He sat up slightly and saw the door of the house being pushed open. Come, turn around and close the door.

“Daosheng, where did the army go?”

The aide named Daosheng was the one who presented the medicinal pill to Qu Manbao. With a smile on his face, he came over with a military report in his hand and said, “Eldest son, here comes the good news!” When the newspaper was handed over, Qu Manbao stretched out his hand, but instead of picking up the military newspaper, he picked up the wine jug on the table, took a sip from the mouth of the jug, and said, “I’m the most annoying to see things, what is the situation, just tell me ”

After the army entered the customs, even the two cities of Baiyang and Shaofu were conquered.” Daosheng sat down on the chair next to him: “And these two cities were captured by the young master himself, and now our army is in good spirits. Sheng, if things go on like this, it will be a matter of time to conquer Luoyang.”

Qu Manbao grinned and said, “Okay, Man Ying will give us the face of Qu’s family.”

Daosheng said with a half-smile, “The eldest son seems very happy.”

“Of course I’m happy.” Qu Manbao said: “The army is invincible, and Man Ying has made military exploits. I’m naturally happy… Daosheng, you seem to have something to say, shouldn’t I be happy?

” The son should naturally be happy, and his subordinates are also happy.” Daosheng sighed: “But… the eldest son, please forgive the subordinates, the subordinates feel that if this continues, it may not be of any benefit to the eldest son.

” The benefits?” Qu Manbao frowned and said, “After the Northwest Army took Luoyang, they supported Beitangfeng to ascend to the throne. At that time, our Qu family would have made a great contribution, and Beitangfeng would not dare not to reward us. When my father was about to leave, he said When he comes back, he will definitely be crowned the king and the prime minister.”

Daosheng nodded and said, “This subordinate actually thinks the same as the eldest son. If Luoyang is successfully captured, the third prince will surely ascend to the throne and become the emperor. The lord is nothing.”

Qu Manbao said with a smile: “Yes, yes, I heard that Beitanghao’s boy is very beautiful and has a few beautiful women. I have already explained to Man Ying. When Luoyang is captured, I don’t want gold and silver jewelry. Bring all those women back to me. Daosheng, unfortunately you don’t like women, otherwise I’ll give you one.”

“The eldest son can get beautiful women, but what will the little son get?” Daosheng smiled and said with deep meaning.

Qu Manbao was stunned for a moment, his smile gradually disappeared, Daosheng leaned closer and said in a low voice: “Eldest son, once Luoyang is captured, no one in the world will be able to compare the merits of the great general, and after the third prince ascends the throne, he will recruit the emperor and the courtiers. The general will definitely be reused, and he will even be left in Luoyang to assist in the affairs of the state.” He raised his hand to stroke his beard and said with a light smile, “The third prince is young, and the eldest son also knows that he has a rumor in the court. It’s not very good, I can only rely on the prestige of the general and the troops to intimidate the ministers. At that time, although the general is only a minister, he can completely decide the government.”

Qu Manbao smiled and said: “I told my father. , if everything goes well and they control Luoyang, they may not be able to replace him. Their Beitang family is a foreign relative, and they also usurped the throne at the beginning. Since the Beitang family can be the emperor, why can’t our Qu family be?” Daosheng gave

a thumbs up and said.

: “The eldest son is ambitious, and he is a truly peerless hero. There are few people in the world with such audacity.”

“Don’t talk nonsense.” Qu Manbao said: “Daosheng, what are you worried about, even if you say it clearly.”

“This… …!” Daosheng hesitated for a moment before saying, “Eldest son, no matter whether the general is a king or a chancellor, or he is truly an emperor, there is always a need for an heir.”

Qu Manbao frowned and said harshly: ” I am the eldest son, no matter if my father is a king or a self-proclaimed emperor, of course I will inherit it, is there any doubt about this?”
