Men have four irons: they have been through the window together, they have prostituted together, they have carried guns together, and they have shared the spoils together.

This is a romance that belongs to men, in which carrying a gun together represents a life-threatening friendship. Men who have carried guns together can even entrust their wives and children to each other.

For those veterans at the border, the soldiers below are not cannon fodder. Those people are their children, and they are the juniors they have trained themselves. Seeing these juniors give away their lives at a young age, their hearts are like knives.

Are these children dying in vain?

Do you want them to watch these children go to their deaths?

Whether it was General Yang or others, they raised their hands to ask God and the gods and Buddhas, but they always got answers every day. They thought that they shed their blood and sacrificed, and someone should remember them, but the fact is that they will always be military households and inferior people in the eyes of some people. There are even people who think that paying them military salaries is a very luxurious thing.

General Yang didn't want to aim the butcher's knife at his compatriots, he didn't want to use the heads of his compatriots as military merits, and he didn't want to use the flesh and blood of his compatriots to satisfy his hunger. However, the trend of letting them solve the problem on their own is becoming more and more strict.

After being disheartened again and again, they decided to save themselves.

This is not an unintentional decision, but the most helpless decision made after calculation. With their lives, with the lives of the remaining people in northern Xinjiang who are struggling on the death line, in exchange for the imperial court's attention to the military and the army.

If it had been in the past, General Yang would not have made such a decision. Because they were scared without them. Daqi has no defense against the Di people, so once they have an accident, I am afraid that the entire Daqi will fall into the hands of the Di people.

But. From the girl of the Jia family, they saw hope.

It's not that Daqi doesn't have combat power, it's just that these combat powers are hidden and not known to ordinary people. Taking Daomen as an example, Daomen did agree with people not to enter the grassland, but if the Di people went south, Daomen would naturally not sit idly by.

Use the prosperity of Daqi to attract the barbarians on the grassland. Then use the population and hidden strength of Daqi to eliminate these barbarians. also let those guys in the court see their mistakes clearly.

It was a difficult decision.

These heroes intend to use their lives to sound the alarm for Daqi.

I didn't think about it in the depths before, but now that the fog has been revealed, Princess Changle thinks more than Jia Jiu. Compared to Jia Jiu, a child. Princess Changle is more aware of the contrast of strength above the court.

This starts with the founding of the Great Qi State. Like many previous dynasties, the founding emperor of Daqi was grassroots, and he relied on his own little cleverness and luck to pull his friends to become the new masters of this land. For a grassroots. It was totally more than he had expected.

Grassroots and grassroots families think. Since they have become royalty in this land, they can do whatever they want as their masters. As a result, troubles between the royal family and the family erupted.

It was also the original Emperor Taizu who reacted in time and stopped in time, otherwise, I am afraid that this land will usher in a short-lived dynasty again.

After seeing the strength of the family, Emperor Taizu and Emperor Gaozu both chose to woo and elevate the identity of their little partners on the one hand, and increase the bargaining chips for their little friends - the Jia family developed in this background - and on the other hand, to win over second-rate and third-rate families. Let them fight with those first-class families and super families - this is how the Shang Dynasty came to be.

The current Emperor Taishang also continued the political strategy of Emperor Taizu and Emperor Gaozu. It's just that under the magic of time. The intertwining of the various power groups that were originally distinct made even more complicated.

During the reign of Emperor Gaozu, the forces in the court and China can be roughly divided into four categories.

Needless to say, the first category is naturally the Saga Group. Shiqing Shilu is talking about the family. From a long time ago, the Maison controlled most of the resources and power in this land, and even if there were several changes of dynasty, they were firmly entrenched at the top of the food chain, and even the emperor had to look at their faces. During the Taizu period, when it was the strictest, the emperor's orders could not even go out of the city gate, and in remote places, he didn't even know what the national surname was, only who the local big landlords were.

The second category is those grassroots who started with Emperor Taizu. Some of them were small landowners, and some were simply engaged in the despised profession of butcher and pawn. After becoming the upstarts of the new dynasty, they naturally rallied tightly around the emperor. It's like Emperor Gaozu, when he was able to ascend the throne, even when others doubted his identity, he still stayed firmly in the position of the prince, not because his father believed in him, but because his father was overwhelmed by those families, and among the many sons below, except for those who had been clearly raised, the rest were all girls of the family. In order not to change his surname, in order not to make a wedding dress for others after his life's hard work, Emperor Taizu did not move this eldest son.

The third and fourth categories are military generals from the military and scholars from the imperial examination, respectively. However, as a dirt bun, when they climb to a high position, while serving the royal family, they often learn from the family's style. Even the scholars who came up from the imperial examination were many of them children of families.

Time is the most terrible sorcerer.

In the past, these four were distinct, but now, with various reasons such as marriage, they have now become a mess.

The Maisons are no longer united. Some insisted on their original position, some sided with the royal family because of interests, and some continued to be detached for historical reasons.

The House of the Lords and magnates is no longer a hardcore emperor's party. Some of them had the prototype of the family because of marriage and transformation, some were hidden by the new emperor because of political reasons, and some of them completely sank.

The circle of Jingshi is so big, there are more people who come and go, and in the end, those who can stay are all washed pebbles.

When the current emperor ascends the throne, the power is in the hands of the emperor, and the power is also in the hands of the emperor. In order to sit on the throne, the emperor must not only be respectful to the emperor, but also survive between the emperor and the family.

There are not many people he can use, there are few resources, the strength of the mother and wife clan is not strong, plus other reasons, the people who can finally reach him are really limited.

But, after all, he is a righteous king, will he be willing to be a puppet?

The result of the three-party competition is that the family is still a family, but there are many villains around the emperor and today. These people have the ability, but their conduct is not very good, and flattery is not only their daily life, but also their main way to ascend to the sky. At the beginning, most of the people around today, except for the current emperor's companion during the prince's reign, were mostly this kind of speculation. Nowadays, there are more and more villains around the emperor. And the villains around the emperor today have not decreased. They occupy a high position next to the current emperor by virtue of their qualifications, and they don't think about doing anything, but the intrigue is more powerful than the other.

Princess Changle knows very well that the court is not clean now, and some officials even oppose it for the sake of opposition, and these people are either his father's henchmen or the people around his imperial grandfather. Princess Changle can't afford to offend at all.

Princess Changle is also very sure that most of the family has remained silent about her own relationship, and those who insist on being close to me are either the people around his father or the people around his imperial grandfather.

This is the saddest thing about Princess Changle.

The lifelong happiness of his biological daughter and granddaughter is not comparable to the mouth of a few villains!

After settling down, Princess Changle said: "In the future, how will the situation between the DPRK and China change?" ”

Jia Jiu said: "The princess should know better than me. ”

How is it not clear?! The northern Xinjiang was defeated, and the imperial court finally couldn't hide the fact that the military salary had been withheld for many years, and the suspected officials who were lucky enough to be able to go home to farm, and those who were unlucky could only go to the vegetable market. There will be a large number of vacancies in the imperial court, and a considerable number of Emperor Taishang and his subordinates will step down, and the officials who come up basically belong to the family forces. The imperial power will be further weakened, and the family will rise again.

Princess Changle said, "Why did General Yang make such a choice? The concubine is the only one in the palace to ...... with the queen mother"

Jia Jiu said: "A daughter who has already gone out of the house is comparable to a son? Princess, you should know better than me that if it weren't for the millions of money and food that General Zhang got this time, if it wasn't for the proper operation, if this behavior of deducting military salaries continued, even without us, the soldiers would have had an accident. Once the limit of what the soldiers can endure is exceeded, only Daqi will bear the consequences. At that time, the Great Qi would fall into the miserable situation of endless civil war, and the Di people would take the opportunity to go south. Princess, what happens to you will be a misfortune for every woman in Kyoshi. ”

Princess Changle said, "I know. I know. This kind of thing is written in the history books. As long as we are united, those barbarians will only be far away from the end of the world; But if we are in a civil war of our own, the barbarians will definitely take advantage of the opportunity. In history, those barbarians would enter the Central Plains, because of the internal fighting in the Central Plains, and someone made them guides. ”

Jia Jiu said: "Since you know, you should also know how great the generals are to make such a decision. This is also for the long-term peace and stability of Daqi in the future. On the one hand, the Di people were closed and beaten by dogs, and on the other hand, it was to integrate the forces of the imperial court and combat those unhealthy tendencies. ”

Princess Changle said: "I know, I know. But why? You should have the ability to save General Yang, right? ”

Jia Jiu shook his head and said, "Only when General Yang is dead can I deter those people." And for General Yang himself, dying on the battlefield is a good ending for him. ”

Princess Changle turned her gaze to Shang Qingyi and said, "What about you?" Why didn't you save General Yang? Isn't the Yang family a lifelong friendship with the businessman? ”

Shang Qingyi said: "Because the merchant is the first in Yuhang, and it is also a Jiangnan family. (To be continued......)
