Zhuge Tianming was mixed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ๏ฝiqugeใ ๏ฝ๏ฝfo
Happily, he became a prince, and in the future, he will have the absolute right to speak in the northwest. You don't have to be like in the past, tied up and unable to perform. The mother concubine is not a princess, so there will not be so many vicious villains or villains with dirty minds who obey her orders and go to harm Yunlan.
At the very least, there are few women who would foolishly want to use the power of the mother concubine to get close to him and harm Yun Lan and his two sons! Because, losing the mother's concubine who was favored by her father, and losing the status of the princess, and offending Yun Lan to death, in the eyes of the world, especially in the eyes of everyone in the palace, such a mother concubine no longer has much value to please her!
Worryingly, his father seems to have misunderstood him.
Sure enough, the secret guard came with the news that his father had misunderstood him and said bad things about his father when he was on the fold, causing the emperor to deprive his father of his status as a prince.
Today's father is hated and annoyed by him.
The mother concubine cried and cried, scolding him for being a white-eyed wolf
Fortunately, the fifth brother Tianliang believed in him.
Otherwise, wouldn't he be too much of a failure?
However, he doesn't have deep feelings for his father, as long as he thinks about the time when he first recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, his father listened to the slander and instigation of Concubine Liu and Zhuge Tianfeng all day long, beat and scolded him in public, all kinds of sarcasm and ridicule, shame, and did not give his mother the respect and decency she deserved, but he actually hated these two people without a bottom line.
At that time, it was not that he didn't think about taking revenge on Concubine Liu and Zhuge Tianfeng, and even the father who made him not see any of his father's love. Fortunately, he is a human being in two lives, and his heart is stronger and more open-minded. Otherwise, maybe he wouldn't be able to control himself a long time ago, and he would have to teach his biological father a hard lesson.
Later, Yun Lan and her two sons appeared, just like the chilling willow wind in winter, soothing his cold heart. Gradually, the ice in his heart melted, and he felt warm. The grass grows in the heart, and gradually calms down, no longer so easily angry and hovering on the verge of losing control.
His relationship with his father is not deep at all.
Don't say anything else, just because he is back, and he is very good, fully capable and courageous, and can inherit everything in the Jin Palace. However, his father still suppressed him wholeheartedly, and resolutely wanted to ask Zhuge Tianfeng to be crowned the son of the world, and his father's so-called fatherly love for him would be greatly discounted. To be precise, that father's love is actually very cheap, almost worthless.
In the past year, because of Yun Lan's help, he has done several major things, and the position of the son of the world has also fallen on his head, so that his father has no choice. Therefore, his father treated him a lot better, paid a lot of attention to him, and was a lot kinder. In addition, it is also because the Liu family, Concubine Liu, and Zhuge Tianfeng continue to die, the father may have woken up, or he may have regretted it, or he may be afraid, and he began to have a little sincerity towards him and his mother.
This father's love, he originally appreciated it very much.
Because, no matter what, the father has a little sincerity towards him, and he has begun to delegate power to him, so that is enough. Between people, there are too many calculations, and they are tired of living by themselves, and there is no meaning. What's more, it was his biological father, and the father and son were reconciled, the relationship was close, and the mother and concubine also benefited. In the past, the father, who was not shy about his mother's concubine, would go to the mother's room several times a month.
I never thought that once the mother concubine was in power, she would be like that to Yun Lan.
Eventually, this led to the situation we are in today.
Zhuge Tianming sighed deeply, and still came to the Jin Palace's Mansion for the first time.
"You rebel, you still have the face to come to me?!" As soon as the newly baked old Jin King saw his son, he was immediately furious and kicked Zhuge Tianming mercilessly.
Zhuge Tianming endured his anger and asked respectfully: "Father, what did the child do wrong to make his father so angry?" โ
The old Jin King was even more angry, and kicked him again: "You don't even know why I'm angry!" It's just, it's me off! โ
These two kicks were not merciless at all, and it is estimated that it took ten percent of their strength to kick Zhuge Tianming's heart. He was also annoyed in his heart, frowning slightly: "Father, if you have something to say, just say it!" Could it be because the emperor let his father abdicate? However, I can't help it, it's a holy decree, could it be that my father wants me to resist the decree?! โ
For a father who doesn't have much sincerity for himself, for a father who has no bottom line for his concubine, who led him to live in exile and has lived a miserable life for more than ten years, he has never thought about such things as risking his head to resist the decree and disrespect him.
What's more, when he sits on the throne of the prince, he has a few more chances of winning if he marries Yun Lan as his wife. In the future, Yun Lan doesn't have to worry about being bullied by her mother, without the status of a princess to rely on, and without her husband's loving mother, Yun Lan will have to deal with it much easier. Perhaps, small losses will still inevitably be eaten, but big losses can definitely be avoided!
The old Jin king glared angrily; "Do you dare to say that you didn't make trouble for the emperor? If you hadn't said bad things about me, the emperor would have taken my throne?! โ
Zhuge Tianming spread his hands helplessly: "I didn't say anything, I just asked to resign from the position of the deceased son and change the title of Tianliang to the son." In this way, the excerpt is very simple, and not a word is written! If you don't believe it, your father can send someone to investigate, and I believe that your father will also have his own eyeliner in the capital! โ
The old Jin King's expression softened a lot, and he waved his hand at him with a tired face: "Okay, I know, I will let people find out about this matter." If you have the slightest concealment, don't blame me for not talking about father-son love, even if you are the prince, I have the ability to make you look good! โ
No matter what, he is also a father, a charge of disobedience and unfilial piety can make this kid embarrassed, and even ruined, and he will no longer be able to sit firmly in the position of King Jin!
Half an hour later, the ten black-clothed men secretly went out of the northwest, divided into ten roads, and went straight to the capital to investigate related matters.
Zhuge Tianming also chased an excerpt and asked to change the title of King Jin to King Qi. And, please ask the emperor to allow him to build another Qi Palace, the original Jin Palace, as a courtyard of the Qi Palace, left to the old Jin King and the old princess to retire, and to place the old Jin King's wife and concubines and concubines.
Yes, Zhuge Tianming only intends to take his younger brother Zhuge Tianliang with him, as well as those servants and guards who are truly loyal to him.
In the days of waiting, the house near the Shazao Guard Station did not stop building. This mansion was originally designed with the specifications of the Shizi Mansion, which is not comparable to the luxury of the palace. The courtyard is at least one-third less than that of the palace, and the houses are only about one-fifth, but there is a small back garden.
Everything takes care of Yun Lan's preferences and children's growth needs, such as baby rooms, small classrooms, toy rooms, swings, children's playgrounds, etc., everything that Yun Lan once inadvertently mentioned. These, in the Jin Palace, but there are none. The baby room, which was later remodeled, has a lot of defects and inconveniences.
Zhuge Tianming really wants to be a good husband and father!
Yun Lan's mood is also much better, and she has more expectations for the future.
Zhuge Tianming is the prince, it must be a good thing for her. At the very least, there is no need to worry about the old prince and the old princess being unhappy, and they will take her and her family's lives.
The days flew by.
The summer harvest season has arrived, and when I walk into Dongfeng Village, the golden wheat waves, with the breeze, are tumbling in a bobo.
The whole Dongfeng Village was beaming, and people couldn't close their mouths happily. The children are naughty and mischievous, and the adults are also very tolerant, and few people beat and scold.
In the sky above the Jin Palace, there was a low pressure hovering all the time, as if it was covered with dark clouds.
From the capital, another eunuch came to herald, accompanied by the waiter of the Ministry of Rites. This time, he actually came to give marriage, and the emperor wanted to give a certain notorious princess to Zhuge Tianming as his wife. Moreover, Yun Lan and Yun Kaiyun will be taken away and secretly executed.
Zhuge Tianming was furious, naturally he flatly refused, the eunuch was also furious, and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites was afraid of the case, and angrily scolded Yunlan for being a fox woman who brought disaster to the country and the people, and scolded Zhuge Tianming for not knowing what to do.
"King Jin, you have thought clearly, if you resist the decree and disrespect, you will be killed! It's just a country woman, for such a woman, do you need to fight against the emperor and the court? As for your son, you are still so young and in good health, how many sons you want you can't have? The princess is not jealous, after getting married, you can take a few more side concubines and concubines, and the lower officials can guarantee that within five years, the prince can have more than ten smart and lovely sons! โ
The waiter of the Ministry of Rites tried hard to persuade again.
The old Jin King was frightened, although he was also reluctant to have two grandchildren, but the future of the palace was more important, without those two grandsons, there were so many sons, and he could have as many grandsons as he wanted!
"Tianming, don't be rash, just listen to my advice and bear with it! The consequences of disrespecting the will are very serious! โ
Zhuge Tianming sneered: "They have all been forced to this part, my wife and children are going to be secretly executed, whether they resist the decree or not, what does it matter?" I'm sure I'm going to resist this bullshit decree! โ
After speaking, he waved his big knife and pointed at the arrogant eunuch: "Hurry up, otherwise, you won't want to leave the northwest alive!" Go back and tell your master that from today onwards, the Jin Mansion will cease to exist! โ
The eunuch was so frightened that he was so frightened that several people who were obviously meticulous were intercepted and put in prison to await trial. In the northwest, there must still be a lot of fine works of the imperial court, and through interrogation, you must be able to pull out the radish and bring out the mud.
The old king of Jin wanted to say something, but he was taken aback by the coldness in his son's eyes, and closed his mouth very interestingly.
This time is different from the past, not to mention, today this kid is enraged, and he is about to go crazy, which cannot be provoked. The Holy Decree dares to openly resist, who knows, will he kill his father?!
In the heart of the old Jin King, he couldn't help but shudder, and his face was as white as paper. Of course, if his mental activities were known by Zhuge Tianming, he would definitely spit on him: The heart of a villain, I, Zhuge Tianming, how can I be such a cruel person?!
The news, in the shortest possible time, quickly reached Yun Lan's ears through Zhuge Tianming's heralds.
Yun Lan hurriedly went to Zhuge Tianming and proposed to him: "Lord, in extraordinary times, you must drive extraordinary means!" โ
Zhuge Tianming: "What is an extraordinary measure?" On the first day of junior high school, you can just say it! โ
Yun Lan: "The northwest is vast and sparsely populated, and there are many places that are not in danger to defend, and the enemy is easy to infiltrate, so I suggest that it is better to implement the practice of all soldiers!" โ
"All soldiers? What do you mean by that? Zhuge Tianming's eyes lit up, but for a while, he couldn't understand.
Yun Lan's face was full of firmness: "Yes, all the people are soldiers!" That is to say, a new census is carried out for all the population of the northwest, so that we can know what may be done and clean up the potential for small work and hostile forces! With the census brochure, young men were called on to join the army, and young women married into military farms.
The rest, the elderly who are in good health, are assigned to nursing camps to assist the military doctors in caring for the sick and wounded and drying herbs, etc.; The women were assigned to the logistics battalion, washed and cooked, sewed and repaired for the army, made clothes, shoes, socks and bedding, and were responsible for taking care of the elderly and children who could not take care of themselves, raising pigs, chickens, fish, vegetables, etc.; The little ones are placed in the children's camp and the half-grown children are placed in the junior camp.
Scholars also gathered together to open a three-month compulsory education school, so that all school-age children in the northwest can read and write. It doesn't matter if you don't have money to buy the four treasures of the study, you can use tree branches or even stones to write and draw on the ground according to local conditions. I don't want everyone to become a pillar of talent, but I want the next generation in the northwest to be able to write their own names, understand simple contracts, and write simple letters, so as not to be blind! โ
After a pause, he hurriedly said: "In the busy farming season, no matter which battalion the people are, some people must be selected to plant crops or harvest, etc. โ
Zhuge Tianming's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he couldn't help but say: "But, three months, will the time be too short?" โ
Yun Lan: "Three months, the time is indeed a little shorter, but now the northwest is not rich, just do your best!" Moreover, in three months, if a child has a talent for reading, he can learn three basic enlightenment books. Particularly outstanding students can get together again and continue their studies in one school. In the future, many of these children will be the hope of the Northwest. โ
Having said that, after Yun Lan finished speaking, she hesitated a little: "All the people are soldiers, and it is naturally good for the overall situation in the northwest." However, this is inevitably suspected of coercing the people. Seemingly, one thing is not so good. โ
Zhuge Tianming didn't think so, and made a final decision: "Don't think like this, you can't talk about coercion, when the northwest is stable, the people can have a good life!" Otherwise, there are fierce Hu people in the front, a wolf-like court in the back, and the already barren northwest, if it is destroyed, how can the people have the capital to live in peace? Besides, the northwest is the northwest of the palace, and the people of the entire northwest are my people. The people obey me, and it is a matter of course, and there will be nothing wrong with it! โ
This is called domineering, and it is also called being justified.
Yun Lan was speechless and knelt down in her heart.
Yes, this is in ancient society, and the royal power was in the northwest land, which was supreme and unquestionable. Except for those rebellious ministers and thieves, the common people in the northwest should willingly obey the instructions of the palace.
"Water can carry a boat and can also overturn a boat, I hope that the prince will strictly urge officials and soldiers from all over the country to treat the people well!" Yun Lan still couldn't help it and said what was in her heart.
Zhuge Tianming solemnly responded: "Okay, I know, don't worry!" โ
Yun Lan said again: "Now that the Yan State is in power, the emperor is unscrupulous, bandits and bullies are rampant, and natural disasters are everywhere. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a troubled time. In troubled times, people are not as good as dogs! The prince might as well send more people out, secretly recruit more people to come back, regardless of men, women, old and young, the family will come over together, the more the merrier! โ
Zhuge Tianming actually had this idea for a long time, and over the years, he has successively recruited many young adults from outside the northwest. However, now the situation is different, can those people of Yan Country make up their minds to come to Qi Kingdom?
He spoke out of his doubts.
Yun Lan smiled slightly: "This is not a big problem......
Zhuge Tianming frowned when he heard this, and his smile was bright.
Soon an order was issued, and a pair of the most elite scouts were sent to chase back the eunuchs and the group that had just been released. Since they are going to Yan Country to recruit talents, those people can't be let go for the time being, so as not to leak the news. If the government and army of Yan State knew about his disrespect for the decree and the recruitment of talents, there would be many more dangers and variables.
It's a little late. The rumor still spread, but it was also controlled within a certain range, and a lot of losses and resistance were avoided for the next action.
Zhuge Tianming declared the autonomy of the northwest within a small range, and the founding name of the country was Qi State.
Two days later, ten recruitment teams totaling more than 1,000 people stood at the entrance of some relatively poor and remote villages in the Yan Kingdom, and locked down the recruitment targets. The selected destinations were all no more than a hundred miles away from the fiefdom of the King of Jin. The people here also know the country best, and many families have relatives and friends in the northwest.
For example, in a village of about 200 people about 100 miles away from the Qi country, Shi waved his right hand vigorously and shouted loudly to the dense crowd in front of him: "Fellow villagers, do you want to live a good life where everyone has food, everyone has clothes to wear, and the children in the family can read and write?" โ
This kind of good thing, a fool doesn't want to!
But will pie fall from the sky? The young man who stood on the millstone and said this was not bragging, was he?
"You, you're not trying to make us happy, are you? How can there be such good things in this world? If you have a pie in the sky, you can't grab it if it's not early in the morning! In the crowd, some people couldn't hold back their temperament and rushed out.
Shi nodded and smiled affirmatively: "As long as you move to the northwest and you are diligent and duty-bound, the prince will give you enough land to live, and you can also give you the silver, grain and seeds of my family, and help you build a house for free!" โ
It's not easy in troubled times, and if you continue to stay, you won't have a way to survive at all. It's better to simply defect to King Jin. What homeland is difficult to leave, it is all empty, people live, there is hope.
The most important thing is that the army cultivated by Zhuge Tianming himself is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness. It is said that basically no one will offend the common people, and if anyone dares to attack the common people, they will inevitably be severely punished by military law.
Since Zhuge Tianming inherited the throne in the northwest, he has formulated strict laws, strictly ordering soldiers not to offend the people. Violators will be severely punished, even killed. The future princess of Jin, I heard that she is also an excellent woman, both kind and wise, and has the ability to govern the barren and desolate northwest to an oasis full of trees.
After thinking about this, the determination to defect to the northwest was firm and unshakable. Especially those who have a deep hatred for the government and court of Yan State, as well as those orphans who have no wives and children to worry about, are even full of infinite yearning and longing for the northwest.
That's how things are in this world. There are a lot of difficulties at the beginning, but as soon as someone starts, those who follow will flock to it.
Of course, at this moment, the people in these remote places have not heard of Zhuge Tianming's blatant disrespect. Otherwise, there should be many people who dare not agree to immigrate to the northwest.
As for security, it's not a big deal.
Before the team set off, Yun Lan gave each team leader a grenade. If you encounter the army of Yan Kingdom, throw a grenade, and you will definitely be able to scare the other party to the point of urine.
After ten days of hard work, the people of the team brought more than 10,000 people back to Qi safely. On the way back, I naturally encountered a lot of resistance, but fortunately, there was no danger and I survived safely.
A grenade was thrown over and exploded in the crowd, and sure enough, the army of the Yan Kingdom fled in all directions. Not to mention the servants and catchers in the yamen, as if everyone is a scud.
Yun Lan felt that there was a broad avenue that continued to stretch in front of her. The future is promising and worth looking forward to, which makes her see light and hope.
With her insight and space beyond this era, as well as Zhuge Tianming's outstanding talent and extraordinary martial arts, the two of them are perfectly combined, and they can create a rich country and a strong Qi country.
The day of the completion of the Qi Wangfu was the wedding period of Yun Lan and Zhuge Tianming.
The wedding was grand and grand, very lively and joyful.
