Chapter 623: Restoring Order 32

Qiuqiu: "Let's build roads. All the ill-gotten gains, apart from the start-up capital needed to open the factory, will be used to build bridges and roads.

When the factories and workshops are operating normally in the future, this money will be returned and used to build bridges and roads or to help orphans.

Anyway, use it for charity. Don't think that the stolen money is yours. This way you can minimize the risk of karma."

Qiuqiu threw out a map with seven roads and two waterways drawn on it.

"Just build it according to the map. Use the money you stole to buy food. All those who work on the road will be provided with three meals a day. Men will be paid ten copper coins a day. Women, eight copper coins a day. Distribution will be based on work."

Han Chou failed to demonstrate his value to Han Xue, so he returned to Kyoto and found Gu Zhao. He told him about his plan to build roads and bridges, and he also borrowed the idle Gu Hong to start the national road construction project.

Han Chou deceived Gu Zhao like this: The country is in chaos now, and you have to deal with the aristocratic families. The hired farmers and poor peasants below will inevitably cause chaos without the work hired by these aristocratic families!

I gathered them together, gave them food to eat, and asked them to build roads, which also laid a solid foundation for future economic development.

"Oh, that eldest prince, he doesn't have anything to do anyway, it's a waste to keep him by your side. To prevent local people from flattering the powerful and bullying the weak, and pretending to obey but actually disobeying, I have little influence, so I'll ask him to help build the road."

When Gu Hong was taken away, he was confused all the way. He didn't know why Gu Zhao let him leave the capital without hesitation.

Not long ago, Gu Zhao, who was sitting at his desk handling official business, heard Han Chou's suggestion to build a road. He was hesitating whether to let Gu Hong leave Beijing, when he suddenly heard a vague female voice ringing in his mind:

"Your mother's death was orchestrated by Wang Chenxi, the second daughter of the Wang family. She also proposed the sorcery technique. Gu Hong was unaware of this. He was merely a pawn of the Wang family. He has no right to know. Wang Chenxi is currently hiding in the Fourth Prince's mansion."

Gu Zhao agreed to let Gu Hong help build the road. After dismissing his two uncles, he immediately stood up and asked, "Who are you and where are you?"

Qiuqiu: Trouble, I just want to use your help to get rid of Wang Chenxi, the anomaly.

Qiuqiu casually weaved an illusion and displayed it in Gu Zhao's mind.

Then, Gu Zhao yawned and fell asleep on the table. In his dream, he saw that the one communicating with him was the guardian spirit of the dragon vein of the Dayong Dynasty, that is, the gentle female voice.

In the dream, he ascended the throne smoothly, had the support of the Han family army, reformed the civil service, and promoted officials from humble backgrounds.

Actually, the main reason why he did this was that he did not want to take a concubine. He did not want girls from aristocratic families to enter the harem and give birth to children under the control of the aristocratic families.

So he selected officials from humble backgrounds and gradually curbed the power of the aristocratic families.

Han Hen was in charge of the Han family army at the border, Han Chou helped him govern the country in the court, and Han Yuan used his pen to publicize the emperor's benevolent policies and stabilize the hearts of the people at the bottom.

Therefore, the monarch and his ministers were in harmony for only a dozen years, and he held almost all the power in the court in his hands.

The Han family also has a far-sighted Han Xue in charge of the harem. Her son Gu Ting has been smart and clever since childhood and is a natural emperor.

After the Yong Dynasty stabilized, Han Hen was seriously injured and handed over the power of the Han family army to the prince Ku Ku, who was Gu Ting.

Han Chou's story was even more outrageous. When he was controlling floods in the south, he was washed away by the flood. He was then rescued by a herbalist in the mountains and became the herbalist's son-in-law.

Only Han Yuan was relatively normal. He married the ninth princess of the royal family. The two of them stirred up waves in the literary world, controlled public opinion, and lived a prosperous life.

The couple hid the truth from each other and secretly published articles under pseudonyms to curse each other, causing paper to become expensive in the capital.

As for Wang Chenxi, she married into the second-class family, the Xie family. She looks glamorous on the outside, but she is vicious on the inside and always makes things difficult for Xue'er.

The concubines' daughters or the legitimate daughters of the side branches of the Xie and Wang families are beautiful in appearance and scheming, and they are repeatedly planned to be sent to the palace.

When Gu Zhao saw that himself, he thought that as long as the Wang and Xie families gave someone, he would give a concubine to Wang Chenxi's husband, and let his fourth brother's wife, Wang Chenxi's biological sister, educate her.

Wang Chenxi died in a fight with her half-sister. This half-sister was the scheming concubine whom Wang Chenxi wanted to send to the palace, but was instead sent to her husband by Gu Zhaofan.

After Wang Chenxi's death, she was reborn before her coming of age. She murdered her concubine's younger sister, seduced the Fourth Prince, and ruined her elder sister's marriage. She orchestrated a witchcraft incident, murdered the Empress, and forced Gu Zhao to visit the imperial mausoleum. Most despicable of all, she repeatedly obstructed the distribution of rations to the Han army, spread kerosene throughout Yangcheng, and assisted the Tatars in burning Yangcheng, indirectly contributing to the fall of the imperial city.

Wang Chenxi is truly deeply sinful!

In his dream, Gu Zhao watched Wang Chenxi seduce the fourth prince, kill his legitimate sister, catch his concubine sister in bed with a servant, bury a voodoo doll in the Queen's Kunning Palace through the secret passage of the palace, set up a fortune-changing formation, push the eldest prince to the throne, force his mother to death, poison himself many times, and give his father a chronic hallucinogenic poison.

The most trusted female official around her mother turned out to be a thorn planted by the Xie family. Wang Chenxi married into the Xie family in her previous life, learned the identity of the female official, and used this female official to lead and complete this witchcraft disaster.

The Queen Mother's personal female official handed over the evidence in person, but without leaving a single word, she directly hit her head against the pillar and died, leaving the Queen Mother speechless.

After the so-called witchcraft disaster was resolved, the administration of hallucinogenic poisons to my father stopped, proving that my mother had bewitched my father.

The witchcraft disaster implicated nine clans. In order to protect her clan and herself, the queen mother died by hitting her head against a pillar.

Gu Zhao, who was in a coma, had tears in his eyes and was calling out, "Mother."

The dream ended and Gu Zhao woke up, covered in sweat. Following the instructions in the dream, he first walked to the bottom of his father's original bed and found the culprit that had caused him to fall into a nightmare - the juice of the Datura flower.

What he saw in his dream was confirmed, and Wang Chenxi deserved to die.

As for the fourth prince who protected Wang Chenxi, his mother was from the aristocratic Chen family, and she always had to maintain the demeanor of a noble lady. She was somewhat insolent, and even her fourth brother looked down on others and was extremely arrogant.

If you want to ask him directly for someone, there will definitely be a commotion.

He is no longer the gentle prince he used to be. After his mother's death, he guarded the imperial mausoleum and crossed the border to kill the Tatars. In the past year, he has grown a lot and has become a decisive emperor.

Gu Zhao brought his guards and secretly came to the Fourth Prince's Mansion. He put the remaining datura flower juice into Wang Chenxi's tea and asked her to drink it.

She also ordered the accompanying female secret guards to pretend to be her elder sister and her half-sister to intimidate and threaten them.

Gu Zhao held the still struggling Fourth Prince and watched a big drama outside the window.

Wang Chenxi, who fell into a semi-crazy state, revealed many secrets.

The secret guard who played Wang Chenxi's elder sister received the instruction and pressed the question: "The Fourth Prince is my destined husband. Since you want to support the First Prince, why are you trying to take my position as the Fourth Prince's Consort?"

Wang Chenxi, who was originally in a state of shock, suddenly looked towards the window with hatred and a ferocious expression:
