Chapter 204: What is the King (Part II)
"Master Hou, hey... I won't call you Master Hou, how do you feel like you have suddenly changed as a person? Pei Xing laughed at his hesitation about the Yue Clan's trade, and then asked. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Really? Led 800 warriors to sweep the two countries in the Western Regions, did the joy of success make me doubly energetic? "Still talking about the pretense of seriousness.
"From a frozen iron plate, I suddenly became able to speak human words, and there are many words." Seeing that he was still polite, he praised himself for being so unrestrained, and Pei Xing also teased him.
Ha! Still Shu laughed: "I only praise me for you." ”
Minsa also smiled, still Shu did change, from the fact that they discussed the strategy of how to take down the Wusun Kingdom in the still Shu room, still Shu changed, regained his self-confidence, and found his own cynicism.
"Actually, I've always been so witty and humorous, what you saw before wasn't the real me." Still raised his eyebrows and said to Pei Xing.
"Really?" Pei Xing turned his head as he spoke, looked at Minsa, and asked what Mingsa was still talking about before.
"Don't look at me, I don't know." Minsa said with a smile.
Still Shu glanced at Minsa's expression, and when he saw that she was smiling, he was relieved, for fear that Pei Xing's sudden question would make Mingsa sad again.
"Then could it be that you were not in the right state a few days ago, as bitter and bitter as carrying a lot of debts, and you were frightened by this time to lead troops to the Western Regions again? Now that you've succeeded, you're all right. ”
After Pei Xing finished speaking, he laughed, completely ignoring his still angry expression.
However, ridicule is ridicule, and it is still said that it has really become free and easy. One of them is because the little devil talked to him, which can be regarded as an icebreaker in the relationship, although the two of them can't communicate without barriers because of the matter of Chiyan, but it's much happier than her not looking at herself.
Another point is that it has been a while now, and I still haven't received any orders from the master. This rare freedom made him a little uncomfortable, as if his soul had finally found an outlet to breathe and blow the wind.
So he wanted to be himself and be brave in this beautiful Western Regions world far away from Yunling and away from those forces.
……
Similarly, this night is the only few hours left for Pei Xing to breathe, from tomorrow, whether he adapts to it or not, he will become different, maybe there will be no chance to relax, no more chance to be himself.
The three young people, from discussing the plan for recovering the country, to discussing the detailed plan of enriching the country and strengthening the army, and then to getting drunk without alcohol, leaned on the desk table easily, talking about each other's feelings.
There is no feast here, there is no silk and bamboo, but they talk about the world, crisscrossing the four wildernesses, Woran has gains, Yixing is turbulent, the heart is relaxed, and the favor and humiliation are forgotten.
……
……
At the end of the next day, Pei Xing appeared in the main hall of the main palace wearing the robe of the lord of the country and the crown of the customs of the Western Regions, standing in front of the high seat of the lord of the country, and under the stage were two columns of civil and military officials.
Still Shu and Mingsa also stood behind the throne of the country in Chinese clothes, as Pei Xing's right-hand man.
Pei Xing stroked his clothes, looked at eye level, and straightened his body up, it could be seen that he seemed to be a little excited, or a little nervous, and he was in the spotlight for the first time as the lord of the country.
The first thing Pei Xing said was to announce that before the Yue Clan Kingdom gained a firm foothold in the Western Regions, he would not sit down for the position of the lord of the country, nor would he hold the founding ceremony.
Still Shu and Mingsa glanced at each other in the back, I didn't think that Pei Xing's idea was bloody enough, the three of them talked so much last night, but he didn't even talk about his plan, it seems that he is really buried deep in his heart and has made up his mind.
When Pei Xing said this, the civil and military officials suddenly raised their spirits, it seems that this Prince Pei Xing really lived up to the trust of the old lord and was a person who achieved great things.
However, on the first day of Pei Xing's status as a non-high-ranking lord, his subjects unsurprisingly brought him some tricky emotions.
When the courtiers in the audience reported on the national situation, they clearly showed the momentum of the split between the two factions.
One faction is the courtiers who have always been loyal to the Yue Clan, these people are more than loyal, but they lack talent and status. The other faction is also old ministers, but they were also mixed up during the reign of Wusun State, and these people are more than talented, but they are not loyal enough.
And whenever Pei Xing gave the latter a positive look and reply to what he had reported, the courtiers of the die-hard faction were all on fire one by one, eager to throw off their robes and leave.
Pei Xing, who got out of the court, took off the crown, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead.
Becoming the lord of a country for the first time in his life must have been a little nervous, so his role model is the Lord of Wanfu. Now it seems that the role model is really a role model, the Lord of Wanfu succeeded to the throne in a hurry, and the situation in the country and abroad is not better than the current Yue's situation, but he will face more conspiracy shadows, but he is more orderly than himself.
Pei Xing discussed to Minsa and still about the disposal of those non-Yue clan loyal old ministers, many of these courtiers are highly regarded and famous marquis, they were born in the original Yue family, and in their generation, they have carried forward their family and have no shortage of wisdom, but they lack some courage and loyalty.
After the Wusun Kingdom divided the Yueshi Kingdom, they actually served the Wusun Kingdom, and now Pei Xing recaptured the Yueshi with the help of Yunling, and these people came from the whole crown, standing in front of the hundred officials, flattering and loyal, such an act made the rest of the loyal ministers very angry. Therefore, there have been many people who have jointly signed a petition for the new lord to dispose of.
Pei Xing was a little embarrassed, because these people were contemporaries of his father, and they had also made outstanding contributions to the prosperity of the Yue Clan together with his father, and some of them did have excellent talents.
But thinking about the sworn and resentful situation in the audience, Pei Xing knew that he had to give everyone an explanation, maybe he had a decision in his heart, but he still hesitated and wanted to discuss it with Minsa and still state.
"Lord of the country, you must know that raising cats may not be able to catch mice, but raising tigers can be troublesome. Although some of these people have impressive talents, the Yue Clan Kingdom is at this time when it needs to kill the tiger and establish its might. Now the rest of the officials have a lot of complaints about them, if they are reused with him, in the future, the ministers and him will not be able to discuss things in the court, and they will not be able to sympathize with each other if they are anxious with the outside world, and it is better for the lord of the country to make a decision as soon as possible. "Again.
Pei Xing looked at Minsa again, and Minsa also nodded in agreement with the suggestion he had just made.
Keeping him may be a small profit for a while, but it may also be at the risk of losing a permanent righteousness. Using him as a trustee may be a temporary joy, but it may also ruin the future foundation. ”
Listening to the words of Still Shu and Mingsa, Pei Xing frowned and nodded.
Soon after, the order was given to expel all these unfaithful and unrighteous people to the desolate countryside, where they were to be placed under the jurisdiction of local officials, not to leave the country, and never to be reused.
As a result, the crowd was excited, and they called for the new lord's wise decision.
Sure enough, life and death are kings, and he must do a good job in every duty of prohibiting, promoting profits and eliminating harms, and monopolizing power. (To be continued.) )
