Chapter 145 Is This All Just My Own Imagination?
There are currently about 500,000 Dayu survivors in Dayu City in the north. These are the people given to Lu Chen by the system. However, these people have their own ideas. Although they are 100% loyal to him, the King of the North, they may not be willing to Leave the place where they have lived for generations.
After Lu Chen defeated the Sirius King, he immediately told the two black cavalry generals Xuanyuan Chen and Wen Renlie his thoughts, hoping that they would convey their thoughts to the people of Dayu City.
If those 500,000 people are willing to move to Beijun, then it will be relatively easy to develop wasteland in Beijun.
After hearing Lu Chen's question, Xuanyuan Chen stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have conveyed your intention to the people of Dayu City, but as far as I know, most of the people are unwilling to leave Dayu City."
"Furthermore, I believe that there is no need for the prince to move the people of Dayu City into the North County. In the future, the prince's territory will extend to further places in the north, and Dayu City will protect every inch of the land in the north for the prince."
After hearing what Xuanyuan Chen said, Lu Chen thought for a moment.
What Xuanyuan Chen said was correct. He had already planned to include all of the Northland into his own kingdom, and Dayu City would become the frontier city of his kingdom from now on.
Since it is his territory, it naturally needs people to protect it. The terrain of Yan'an Mountain where Dayu City is located is easy to defend but difficult to attack, making it a good terrain for stationing troops.
Think about it, Daxia, with a population of tens of millions, can only train 20,000 heavy cavalry, while Dayu City, with a population of only 500,000, has 50,000 heavy cavalry.
Although Daxia still has hundreds of thousands of ordinary troops, Yucheng cannot compare with Daxia in this regard.
But judging from the fact that Dayu City can train 50,000 heavy cavalry, it can already explain the war potential of Dayu City.
After thinking about it, Lu Chen finally decided not to move the 500,000 people to Beijun, but simply let them stay in Dayu City. Then he would send troops to station in Dayu City and then guard the entire Northland.
Just when Lu Chen was deep in thought, Wen Renlie stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that Your Majesty plans to build a straight road to connect Yancheng with all the counties and cities in Beijun. I believe that Dayu City is now His Majesty's territory. , The people of Dayu City are also the prince’s subjects, and a straight road should be built to connect Dayu City.”
"With this straight road leading to Dayu City, soldiers from Beijun can quickly go to Dayu City. From now on, the entire Northland will be under the control of the prince."
Lu Chen thought for a while, and then said: "General Wenren's suggestion is good, and I have accepted it."
Since Dayu City is to be used as a military fortress, it is definitely necessary to build a road directly to Dayu City. With this road, Lu Chen can quickly transfer soldiers to the north.
The key is that this can promote exchanges between the people of Dayu City and the people of Beijun, and Dayu City will no longer remain closed in the future.
Then Lu Chen said: "Okay, that's the end of this topic. Does anyone else have anything else to do?"
Qin Yushan stood up again at this time, "Your Majesty, now the major dynasties are frequently deploying troops. Dayue is also stationing 200,000 troops at the border of Beijun. However, the intelligence of Jinyiwei has lagged behind and cannot know the major dynasties at the first time. Regarding the specific trends, my subordinates believe that it is time to expand the Jinyiwei. We should recruit more Jinyiwei to lurk in other dynasties to collect intelligence. "
There would be no problem at all if the 5,000-strong Jin Yiwei were only collecting intelligence within Daxia, but it would be a bit difficult to collect intelligence from other dynasties or countries.
The most important point is that the languages of various countries are not necessarily connected yet. If the Jinyiwei in Daxia go directly to other dynasties, they may not be able to understand what others are saying, let alone collect intelligence.
Lu Chen said: "Commander Qin will ask you to stay and discuss this matter with me alone later. We will not discuss this matter for now."
After all, the Jinyiwei is a knife in Lu Chen's hand. Lu Chen has no intention of discussing the Jinyiwei in front of everyone, lest the knife scare others later, especially Li Rui and the others who were not summoned by Lu Chen through the system. .
After hearing what Lu Chen said, Qin Yushan immediately said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
After the words fell, Qin Yushan retreated to his seat.
Lu Chen asked again: "Is there anything else? If not, I'll just stop here today and disperse."
Immediately, everyone said in unison: "I will retire, the prince will live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years!!!"
Then everyone left the study, leaving only Qin Yushan still in the study.
In the next half hour, Lu Chen and Qin Yushan discussed the expansion of Jin Yiwei.
at the same time.
In a certain courtyard of Beiwang Mansion.
Two beautiful women were sitting in the pavilion, looking at the people outside the pavilion who were about to leave the North Prince's Mansion.
This place is not part of the inner courtyard, so you can see the officials from Beijun passing by here after coming out of Lu Chen's study.
Xuanyue Palace has no sense of presence in Beijun. Chen Wanrong and Lin Wanyun have been in Beijun for so long, and Chen Wanrong has not been able to place the love poison on Lu Chen.
At this moment, Lin Wanyun said: "Palace Master, King Bei seems to have forgotten us two."
They have all lived in Bei Wang Mansion for such a long time, and as a result, Bei Wang never communicated with them except for talking to them at the beginning.
After this period of lurking in Beiwang Mansion, the two of them basically figured out what Lu Chen did every day.
After Lu Chen got up early in the morning, he would go to the study to do such things, and occasionally he would leave the Beiwang Mansion to go outside to see the construction of the army.
After the daytime was over, Lu Chen would randomly find a wife or concubine's room and go in, and then his day would end.
Lu Chen did this almost every day.
In this way, Chen Wanrong and Lin Wanyun would be even less likely to have any intersection with Lu Chen. Although the two of them were still in the Beiwang Mansion, Lu Chen was either in the study or in the rooms of the wives and concubines in the inner courtyard. The two guests could not go directly to Lu Chen's study.
The key is that they can't find an excuse to get along with Lu Chen.
Of course, the most important point is that the Beiwang has never come to them in person.
It stands to reason that the Beiwang likes beauty very much. From the fact that the Beiwang wants to cultivate feelings with his women every night, it can be seen that the Beiwang cannot do without women, and Chen Wanrong is a woman with a stunning appearance, but the Beiwang is not moved at all?
Chen Wanrong even doubted whether she was still beautiful.
If she had no contact with Lu Chen, how could she use the love poison? Seeing that Daxia was about to fall into civil strife, this was the best time to deal with Emperor Xia. If she didn't quickly refine the Fulong Curse, she would miss the opportunity to kill Emperor Xia.
Chen Wanrong said softly at this time: "We can't wait any longer."
Lin Wanyun instantly understood what Chen Wanrong meant. Chen Wanrong was planning to take the initiative to find Lu Chen, but this was not a good idea. Lin Wanyun then said: "Palace Master, if you go to find the King of the North in person, the King of the North is likely to be on guard against you."
"Why don't I use my relationship with Chu Yuqin to find out what the King of the North has been doing recently. If the King of the North has a problem that he can't solve, our Xuanyue Palace can help him solve it. This may help him get closer to the King of the North."
At this point, both of them knew that although the King of the North was lustful, he was definitely not a brainless person. His lust was based on reason.
If he wanted to touch any beautiful woman, he would never have come to them for so long. It was obvious that the Northern King was guarding against them, so what they had to do next was very simple, that is, to let the Northern King let down his vigilance against them and Xuanyue Palace.
Only in this way could Chen Wanrong have the opportunity to really get close to the Northern King and give him a love poison. Otherwise, even if they stayed in the Northern King's Mansion, they would not be able to play any role.
After hearing Lin Wanyun's proposal, Chen Wanrong thought for a while, and then said, "Okay, then do as Aunt Lin said."
They definitely couldn't wait any longer, they had to take the initiative to find an opportunity to get close to Lu Chen.
...
In the evening.
After finishing a day's work, Lu Chen got up from his chair, stretched his body, and then prepared to go to the main courtyard for dinner.
Just as Lu Chen left the study, he found that under the red light of the sunset, two beautiful women were holding hands and talking and laughing about something.
Seeing Chu Yuqin and Lin Wanyun chatting, Lu Chen's mouth corners slightly raised. It seemed that the two fairies of Xuanyue Palace finally couldn't wait any longer.
Lu Chen then glanced at Lin Wanyun's favorability towards him. The favorability had exceeded 90, and it was basically possible to proceed to the next step.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen walked directly towards Lin Wanyun and Chu Yuqin.
When he was about to come to the two of them, Lu Chen smiled slightly and then asked: "Aunt Lin, Aunt Chu, what are you talking about?"
Seeing that it was Lu Chen, Lin Wanyun was immediately happy. Finally, she had a chance to talk to the King of the North.
Lin Wanyun said quickly: "Greetings, Prince!"
Lu Chen said immediately: "Hey, Aunt Lin, I already call you Aunt, you don't have to bow to me in the palace, the Northern Prince's Palace doesn't have so many rules."
Lin Wanyun said: "How can this be done? Etiquette cannot be abolished. You are the prince, and I have to bow when I should."
Lu Chen said: "Aunt Lin, what you said is a bit hurtful. You are my mother's sworn sister. I treat you as an aunt, but you think I have nothing to do with you. Am I just being sentimental?"
This...
Lin Wanyun was slightly stunned.
She didn't expect the Northern Prince to say such a thing.
At this time, Chu Yuqin glanced at Lu Chen dimly. What Aunt Lin is not Aunt Lin? She didn't believe that Lu Chen really treated Lin Wanyun as an aunt.
Just think about what Lu Chen did with his Aunt Chu, and you will know. This little bad guy always touches her at every turn, and he never treated her as an aunt.
Even she, a woman who has lived with Lu Chen for so many years, is like this, how can Lu Chen really treat Lin Wanyun as an aunt.
But Chu Yuqin did not interrupt at this time.
After coming to her senses, Lin Wanyun said: "It is the common girl who is ignorant and has failed the prince's kindness. Then the common girl will no longer pay respect to the prince in the palace in the future."
Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled and said: "That's right, and don't call yourself a common girl in the future, just call yourself aunt."
This...
Lin Wanyun felt a little at a loss. She was different from Chu Yuqin. Although she was also a good sister of Lu Chen's mother, she and Lu Chen had not lived together for decades. She was embarrassed to call herself aunt in front of Lu Chen.
But since Lu Chen said so, she had to bite the bullet and said: "Okay, auntie knows."
Lu Chen continued to ask: "By the way, Aunt Lin, are you and Miss Chen used to living in the palace? Is there anything missing? If there is anything missing, you can tell the servants in the palace."
Lin Wanyun replied: "Thank you for your concern, the prince. The palace master and I are used to living in the Northern Palace. The servants and maids in the Northern Palace are also very good to us. There is nothing missing."
Lu Chen said: "That's good."
At this time, Chu Yuqin said on the side: "Chen'er, I just discussed with your Aunt Lin to let her become a guard in the inner courtyard."
Hearing this, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lin Wanyun and smiled and said: "Aunt Lin, you are from Xuanyue Palace. Will being my inner courtyard guard affect you?"
Lu Chen also saw that this was the second time Xuanyue Palace tested him. If he allowed Lin Wanyun, an elder of Xuanyue Palace, to become his inner courtyard guard, it meant that he had accepted Xuanyue Palace. After all, this is the inner courtyard of the palace, his closest person and the place where he lives.
Once she accepted the request to let the people of Xuanyue Palace move into the inner courtyard of the Northern Prince's Mansion, then their cooperation with Xuanyue Palace could be fully launched.
Lin Wanyun hurriedly said, "No impact, no impact."
"The Palace Master has discovered that many uninvited guests have come to Yancheng recently, and most of them are coming for the Northern Prince's Mansion and you, the Prince. Since we live in the Northern Prince's Mansion, we should also contribute to the safety of the Northern Prince's Mansion."
Lu Chen showed a harmless smile, "I am very happy that Miss Chen has such an idea. Well, the safety of the Northern Prince's Mansion will be handed over to Aunt Lin and Aunt Chu in the future."
Seeing that Lu Chen agreed, Lin Wanyun was a little excited. Finally, it was a step further.
In this way, it will be easier for them to contact the Northern King in the future.
Moreover, the Northern King asked her to be the inner courtyard guard, which also means that the Northern King has accepted the help of Xuanyue Palace. It seems that their Palace Master will soon have the opportunity to connect with Lu Chen.
Lu Chen said at this time: "Okay, I won't disturb you guys to chat, I'm going to eat."
Lin Wanyun said quickly: "Okay, Prince, take care."
Lu Chen then went directly to the main courtyard.
At this time, Mu Zixuan and Da Zhou and Xiao Zhou were already holding their children waiting for Lu Chen to arrive.
Seeing his three beautiful wives and the children in their arms, Lu Chen smiled again.
After a tiring day, it feels really good to have someone waiting at home, and they are three beautiful wives.
