"I really found out that Zixiao never seemed to worry about Beiyuan-"

Toyojin squinted, rubbing the ears of the iron-eating beast with his wide palms, as if casually asking a question.

"Or is it that Zixiao can't pull his hand after eating Dingbeiyuan Yi's family, which is also the result of your stargazing day and night?"

Wei Ci looked up from the pile of books, but the brush in his hand never put down.

Toyojin stared at his face tightly, as if he wouldn't let go of the slightest strangeness.

Wei Ci said calmly, "Zi said, the secret of heaven must not be revealed. ”

Toyojin: "......"

If Confucius were alive, wouldn't he be angry with Wei Ci to death?

"When did the Son say this? Taoism only talks about the Heavenly Machine-"

Feng Zhen couldn't wait to throw the iron-eating beast in his arms in Wei Ci's face, this person was really getting more and more angry.

As everyone knows, Wei Ci can't reveal it at all, he can only be vague.

"Beiyuan is an interesting country. ”

Toyojin looked dazed.

Interesting?

What's interesting?

As everyone knows, Wei Ci's evaluation of Beiyuan is to the point, this country is really too strange.

The destruction of the country in Beiyuan was not tossed by the lord or other princes, they themselves made themselves dead.

In his previous life, Wei Ci lived in seclusion in Zhaobianzhou, but he was in Taoyuan, his heart was in the world, and he could not let go of the general trend of the world.

The five countries in the world, Dongqing, Nansheng, and Zhongzhao, these three kingdoms are in full swing, and the princes from all walks of life will sing and I will appear.

After His Majesty unified the three giants, she cleaned up Beiyuan and Xichang.

It took more than ten years to unify the Three Kingdoms, but it took less than a year to clean up Beiyuan and Xichang.

It's not that His Majesty is too strong, it's just that the internal situation of the two countries is too strange.

Let's talk about Xichang first, Xichang is the weakest army and the smallest land area among the five countries.

Troubled times came, and the Five Kingdoms collapsed.

Xichang, the guy at the bottom of the five countries, has become the country with the most princes and the most tragic sacrifices in wars.

According to incomplete statistics, there were no less than 300 uprisings in Xichang, and there were no less than 100 "princes" with names and surnames.

As for the Xichang royal family?

was so poor that even the emperor wanted to go to the land to farm, the queen farmed and weaved to earn pocket money, and the former concubines were sold into Fireworks Willow Lane to make money.

The most powerful princes in the territory only govern half a state, and the smallest princes only have one village.

That's right-

A village!

With hundreds of people in hand, they dare to call themselves princes!

Xichang died due to the dispersion of forces and the disunity of the people, and His Majesty's iron cavalry went on a rampage, taking the entire territory of Xichang in April.

It's as crisp as papier-mâché –

These words came from the mouth of Fu Wang, the commander of the expedition to Xichang.

What's the best thing about Coke?

After the destruction of Xichang, Fu Wang captured the members of the Xichang royal family, and the emperor actually took the initiative to dedicate his three sons to His Majesty as male favorites.

[The three sons of the guilty minister, although they are not very old, are all knowledgeable. The appearance and temperament dare not be compared with the noble sons of the family, but the ancestors of the guilty ministers were once a member of the Great Xia royal family, and their bloodlines were noble. The three of them fell behind in the family road, and they were also famous in the imperial capital——]

Hmph –

In front of the hundreds of officials in the court, this king of the dead country was servile and sloppy, and he was so angry that Wei Ci couldn't swallow his food for several days.

Your Majesty's dragon body is precious, and such a villain dares to think about it?

The grumpy General Dianyin couldn't bear it, and kicked the man's shoulder and cracked his bone.

If it weren't for Fu Wang, Li Yun and others to stop him, lest Dian Yin kill people in the court, this guy would have gone to see Hades a long time ago.

In the end, His Majesty also smiled and punished Dianyin for half a month's money, and then rewarded a box of gold, silver and jewelry.

Originally, I wanted the remnants of the Xichang royal family to be a wealthy ordinary person, but after this happened, they were all cleaned up.

Beiyuan's national strength is only stronger than Xichang, but His Majesty's time to recover Beiyuan is shorter than Xichang's.

This has to mention that Beiyuan, which is famous for "doing death", can really be described as a "wonderful" among the five countries in the world.

Before the collapse of the Five Kingdoms, the Beiyuan royal family had declined, and basically several major clans took turns to govern, competing with each other for power.

After the collapse, the struggle for power became more frequent.

In one year, there were no less than 20 coups d'état, and the shortest lasted only half a day.

Yi had the last laugh, destroyed the royal family, and ascended the throne as the emperor with the dragon robe.

Almost every descendant of the Yi family has been crowned a prince, and according to the highest rank, he is prominent for a while, which cannot be described as imposing.

However, this situation did not last long, and Beiyuan soon became chaotic.

As Toyojin mentioned earlier, Beiyuan is on the northerly side, and only a few months of the year are warm, and the rest of the days are cold.

The environment is harsh, and crops are not easy to survive.

The land produces less food, and in order to stabilize the national situation, the agricultural tax in Beiyuan is naturally the lowest among the five countries, and the government only collects two percent!

In this era, the agricultural tax is already very low, but the people are still hovering at the subsistence line.

Turning his head and talking about the Yi family, the emperor ascended the throne and sealed dozens of princes and dukes, and the expenditure was extremely terrifying.

When the treasury could not support it, the phenomenon of arrears began to appear, and the princes and dukes made trouble!

In order to appease the people, they had to raise agricultural taxes and set up redundant tax collection projects to increase the revenue of the national treasury and distribute the prince's money.

When the tax was at its heaviest, it even reached the point where the government collected ninety percent of the agricultural tax, and the remaining one percent of the grain tax had to be exploited layer by layer.

In the territory of Beiyuan, countless people froze to death and starved to death.

Hearing that His Majesty's iron hooves were about to enter the country, the people everywhere actually started to open and close the passes, open the city gates, and the soldiers who defended the border fortresses ran away. If Xichang is as brittle as paper paste, then Beiyuan is probably air, right?

Calculating the time, the Yi clan is now fighting for power with several other clans.

The change of regime is like the change of the sun and the moon, and the coups are so frequent that they seem to be a joke.

The Yi clan coveted the Cangzhou Horse Farm, but if they kicked the iron plate, they would not really be able to send heavy troops to suppress the territory.

Wei Ci knew this, but he didn't dare to bet.

After all, now Beiyuan's national strength is still quite strong, and it has not been brittle as air by Yi's Huohuo.

At first glance, when he heard that the envoy of the Beiyuan Yi clan had been summoned back when he arrived at Yumen Pass, Wei Ci was not surprised at all.

Wei Ci's calmness provoked Feng Zhen's side eyes, so there was the temptation just now.

As everyone knows, Wei Ci is an old cucumber with green paint.

An old driver who has been driving with a license for decades, where will he be tricked?

I heard the lord privately reveal that she wanted to do something to Xu Pei next. Zixiao, don't you think this is too aggressive?"

"Where?"

Feng Zhen said while petting the cat, "Xu Pei has some kindness to the lord, if he doesn't handle it well, I'm afraid he will be criticized." ”

If Jiang Pengji really accepts Xu Fei's request for help, and uses this reason to confront Xu Pei's two armies, he will definitely be sprayed, right?

Huangshui Alliance, Xu Pei once supported Jiang Pengji, and this bond is much deeper than Xu Fei's.

Wei Ci smiled in his eyes, "If Xu Pei can't hold it down first, then it can't be blamed on the lord for not remembering the old feelings." ”

Toyojin's expression froze.

How did he forget?

What is your father-in-law best at?

Trouble!

Even if the teacher is unknown, she also has the ability to make "nameless" become "famous".
