Chapter 801 Gou Fugui
An hour later.
Liu Ji put down his pen, spread out a detailed list on the table, and motioned for Qin Yao to take a look.
It states the approximate population of Kyoto City, which should be 200,000.
If you want to build a big stage, at least more than half of the people must participate in it to be considered big.
In other words, more than 100,000 people need to be mobilized.
Therefore, after excluding those established aristocratic families who have been opposing the Queen, only 70% of the people left to mobilize are available.
Among these 70%, Liu Ji circled two names in particular.
One is the eldest princess Baili Nihuang.
As long as she is persuaded and the eldest princess speaks down, most of the officials in Kyoto can be mobilized.
Not only that, the eldest princess also has 20,000 palace guards in the suburbs of Beijing who can be mobilized.
This adds up to 50,000 people.
The other is Lu Xiaofeng.
Liu Ji knew that his younger brother also had a group of dandy boys who were watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.
As long as these young men are persuaded to help agitate the people in the city, they can easily recruit 80,000 to 90,000 people.
Coupled with Wang Jin, Qi Yushi, Master Ding and others who were already familiar with each other, the stage was easily set up.
After listening to this, Qin Yao was very satisfied with this action plan.
"Elder Princess, leave it to me. You can take the money and go find Lu Xiaofeng, Wang Jin, and Master Ding."
Liu Ji excitedly picked up the money box and rushed out of the house without delaying for a moment.
If you want to achieve great things, you must seize the opportunity.
If we don't take advantage of the current popularity of these two palace requests, we can quickly set up a stage for the Queen's enthronement.
I'm afraid there will never be such a good opportunity again.
Liu Ji left the house and went straight to the teahouse on the bank of the moat, where he accurately caught Lu Xiaofeng bragging to others.
"Brother, why are you here?" Lu Xiaofeng was very surprised.
Since the last time I played gongs and drums to celebrate Liu Ji's passing the imperial examination, he was beaten up instead.
Lu Xiaofeng has not seen his eldest brother for five months.
But it would be a lie to say that Lu Xiaofeng never wanted to see her eldest brother again.
It's just that he let out all the cruel words, and in order not to make people laugh, he had to hold on.
Seeing Liu Ji actually running to the teahouse to look for her in person, Lu Xiaofeng's hard shell of disguise instantly collapsed.
Before Liu Ji could say anything, he hugged his eldest brother and cried.
Liu Ji was so annoyed that he quickly pushed the person away from him and dragged him to a deserted place.
Liu Ji held Lu Xiaofeng's shoulders tightly and said to him seriously:
"Brother Feng, eldest brother is going to give you a fortune that will bring you great wealth today!"
Lu Xiaofeng, who had finally stopped crying, shed two more moved tears when she heard this.
The young man grabbed his elder brother's arm tightly, and nodded seriously without asking about wealth:
"If the elder brother gives you orders, the younger brother is at your disposal!"
Anyway, he knew that his eldest brother would never harm him.
Liu Ji successfully mobilized the general Lu Xiaofeng with almost no effort.
She took out ten coins from the one hundred thousand taels of silver and bought two meat buns. Each of the two brothers ate one. Lu Xiaofeng couldn't wait to go to the mountains of swords and the sea of fire for her eldest brother.
What?
Brother, are you saying that you want to encourage the people in the city to build a grand stage for the Queen of Heaven to ascend the throne?
Lu Xiaofeng was stunned for only a moment, and then she clasped her fists and said, "Brother, if we want to be rich and noble, don't forget each other!"
Liu Ji replied: "Brother Feng, I will never let you down!"
The two hugged happily, whispered to each other for a while, and then dispersed.
Lu Xiaofeng went to find her gang of friends, intending to use some coercion and inducement to help her elder brother spend all the money in his hands.
Liu Ji, taking advantage of the darkness, dropped notes at the homes of Mr. Ding and Qi Yushi respectively.
It says exactly the same thing: The queen has ascended to the big stage. If you want to make progress, come here!
Master Ding was stunned, holding the note, and suffered all night.
Qi Yushi was so angry that he wanted to smash the wall next door, and cursed in his heart: This is another way of forcing people to make things difficult, cutting first and then showing off.
There was no chance for him to refuse.
Once you get on the pirate ship, don't get off again.
Liu Ji had a busy day, hiding his merit and fame. He got into a dog hole in the middle of the night to avoid curfew inspections, and then returned home.
When I came to the door of my wife's room, I saw no one in the house.
Liu Ji wasn't worried either, thinking that the lady would stay at the eldest princess's mansion tonight.
Oh no, she should be called Princess Zhenguo now.
The title given by the new emperor after he ascends the throne.
Liu Ji was very assured of his wife's strength.
He gestured towards the empty bedroom as he had accidentally seen Qin Yao do to his children - a heart-to-heart gesture.
She shook her bangs off her forehead and went back to the house to sleep.
at the same time.
Over there at the Princess's Mansion.
The eldest princess, who had just finished her official duties, washed herself and went to bed to rest, waved her hand to dismiss the palace attendants, and walked into the inner hall in a relaxed manner.
The prince-in-law took the children back to his hometown in Longyang to accompany his grandparents. The housekeeper Jin Yuanniang was worried that the eldest princess would be lonely at night, so she specially arranged for a piano player to come and accompany her.
The faint sound of the piano comes from the inner hall, a song about a lover who wants to see but cannot.
The eldest princess stopped outside the screen and listened for a while, reflecting on whether she was a neglected violinist recently, so she could play such a piece of music.
But as I listened, the plaintive music suddenly contained a bit of sadness and panic.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but the eldest princess's ears twitched slightly, and she heard the lingering sound of the trembling strings.
I was tired after a busy day with official duties.
After finally getting ready to relax and go to bed, I still have to listen to this sad and sad music.
The interest that had just risen in the princess' heart disappeared in an instant.
She strode over the screen and was about to shout the zither player away.
Suddenly she caught a glimpse of a person wearing a long veil sitting on the soft couch in front of the zither player.
In her hand was a golden bronze sword that she had collected, the tip of the sword pointed at the zither player, and it was cold.
The princess' heart beat wildly for a moment, but she quickly calmed down.
"Who is coming?" she asked angrily.
The corner of her eye was already looking for an exit to escape.
The sound of the zither stopped suddenly.
The zither player trembled and exclaimed: "Your Highness, save me."
At this time, the sword pointed at him was suddenly put away.
A chuckle came from under the long veil, "I came at an inopportune time and disturbed Your Highness's interest."
The princess' eyes became sharp, "Qin Yao, it's you?"
The veil on her head was taken off, revealing Qin Yao's smiling face.
She glanced at the beautiful musician and apologized, "I just wanted to wait for His Highness here. I didn't expect him to come in, and I accidentally scared him."
The eldest princess was obviously relieved and waved her hand, signaling the musician to leave.
The musician was still confused, "Your Highness?"
The eldest princess's tone was cold, "Leave!"
But seeing the musician's aggrieved expression, the eldest princess held her forehead in annoyance again.
Her expression softened a little, and she said in a gentle voice:
"Go back first, remember not to say anything you shouldn't say."
The musician looked at Qin Yao, who scared herself half to death, and then looked at the eldest princess, whose tone was soft but her eyes were particularly cold, took a deep breath, and suppressed all emotions.
Calm down, take the zither, and leave.
Qin Yao teased: "Your Highness, you are a very gentle person."
The princess was very unhappy with her sudden behavior, and she restrained her gentleness and asked unhappily:
"What do you want to do?"
Qin Yao smiled slightly, and under the princess's vigilant eyes, she approached her and whispered for a while.
After a while, the princess was full of amazement.
How did Qin Yao and Liu Ji, the couple, come up with this operation?
