Chapter 69: The Age (I)

In late May, Handan City.

The fighting in Handan and nearby counties has completely subsided. Although Handan City is still under military control, the people in the city have also begun to walk out of their homes, and there are gradually more pedestrians on the streets and alleys.

As for how to take over and govern the newly occupied land, the Yan State court has already had relatively mature experience and even systems.

Many of the officials selected by the Ministry of Officials have been stationed in Handan and nearby counties.

The county guards and county orders must be appointed by the Yan State Officials' Department, and the Yan Army's various departments and armies cooperate with the county officials to conduct inspections.

The personnel of the Intelligence Bureau who were originally lurking in Zhao State also changed from dark to light, and most of them were assigned to the Yan State Supervision Bureau, and with Yan State officials and troops, they killed and relocated some of the original royal clans and families in Zhao Land.

Ji Kang did not enter Handan City, but continued to stay in the military camp outside the city.

The old manager Ji Mao and the director of the intelligence bureau Huang Yong came to the Handan military camp from Jinyang City when the Yan army attacked Handan. At this time, standing in the king's tent, he was reporting to Ji Kang about the recent movements in Handan and even nearby counties.

"Your Majesty, the royal clansmen and many families who supported the resistance to our army in the city of Handan and the nearby counties have been exterminated. However, there are still a few clansmen and families who led their families to run away before our army arrived. ”

The old manager Ji Mao bowed down to report to Ji Kang.

Ji Kang laughed: "If you slip through the net, don't worry about it." These escaped clansmen and families will still fall into our hands sooner or later. Whether they run away, the houses and even the fields in their names can be distributed as ownerless things. ”

"Your Majesty, this is Wang Fenghai, the person in charge of Zhao Di of my Intelligence Bureau, who has come to see my king in accordance with the edict of the king." Huang Yong, director of the Intelligence Bureau, pointed to a person beside him and said to Ji Kang.

"The last general, Wang Fenghai, participated in my king. Ten thousand years of my king! Years! 10,000,000 years. Wang Fenghai's body trembled a little, knelt on his knees, and kowtowed to Ji Kang and said loudly.

The official positions of the Intelligence Bureau follow the military system of the Yan State, and the positions are the same as those of the Yan Army, which are divided into four levels: general, colonel, lieutenant, and sergeant. Therefore, Wang Fenghai, who was originally awarded the rank of general, called himself the last general in front of Ji Kang this time.

"General Wang Fenghai, the widow has heard of you in Liaodi. Director Huang Yong has also talked about you many times in front of the widow, whether it is in Qi Di or Zhao Di, you and your subordinates have made great contributions. ”

Ji Kang's words moved Wang Fenghai, who was kneeling on the ground.

I couldn't help but think of the scene of my birth and death for so many years.

"The king praises, and the last general is ashamed." Wang Fenghai's voice was a little choked.

"General Wang, there is no need to say this, you nameless warriors who are fighting in other countries have lived up to the expectations of the widows." Ji Kang stepped forward and helped Wang Fenghai up with his own hands.

"Your Majesty, Your Minister...... Minister's subordinates, so ...... For so many years, he has sacrificed his life for the country...... Those who sacrificed their lives for the country reached ...... Up to one hundred and fifty-six people. They...... They didn't ......," Wang Fenghai and couldn't cry.

Ji Mao, the old manager in the tent, and Huang Yong, the director of the intelligence bureau, both lowered their heads deeply.

Over the years, there have been more than 100 people from the Supervision Yuan and the Intelligence Bureau who have sacrificed their lives for the country!

Ji Kang's eyes were also a little sour, and he looked at the burly man in front of him, crying like a child.

The young king shouted: "General Wang Fenghai! ”

"The last general!" Wang Fenghai came to his senses and replied loudly.

Ji Kang nodded slightly, and said slowly: "Appoint Wang Fenghai as the deputy director of the Intelligence Bureau, and give him a second-class earl." ”

"Thank you for your grace!" Wang Fenghai knelt on the ground and thanked him.

"General Wang, you are more familiar with the situation of Zhao Di, and the widow gave you an edict to lead your troops to uproot Zhao Di, the royal clan and family who are unkind to me in the near future, it may be possible?"

Ji Kang's eyes flashed with coldness.

During this period of time, the intensity of the clean-up operation was very large, but Ji Kang was still not satisfied.

These royal relatives and wealthy nobles of Zhao State have a great influence in Zhao State. In this regard, Ji Kang absolutely can't bear it, and he must uproot these hidden dangers in the future before the queen mother goes to Handan.

"The last general will obey the edict, and he will live up to my king's expectations." Wang Fenghai hugged his fists.

After Wang Fenghai left, Ji Mao and Huang Yong looked at each other and wanted to stop talking.

In the end, it was the old manager Ji Mao who stepped forward and bowed to Ji Kang and said:

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Zou Yan is seriously ill and I am afraid that he will ...... I'm afraid it's going to be ...... Going. ”

"Ahh Ji Kang couldn't help but exclaim.

And then he stood dumbfounded in the king's tent.

Liaodi, Xiangping City, Zou Yanfu, night.

Zou Yan, who was lying on the couch, had a smile on his face after listening to the news that his disciple Xu Fu had read to him.

"Kang'er...... Kang Er led the army to break through Handan, which Zhao ...... This Zhao State also died. Today, Kang'er ...... The Yan Kingdom under the leadership of Kang'er is like a ...... It has risen like the rising sun, and the momentum is ...... Overwhelming. ”

"Old man...... The old man didn't ...... There is nothing to regret, should ...... Should I meet ...... I met King Zhaoxian. Old man...... The old man lived up to his ...... Live up to the expectations of the previous king, Yan Guo ...... The country of Yan will surely ...... It will be unified...... Eminence. ”

Speaking of this, Zou Yan didn't know what to think, and a smile appeared on his face.

What came to mind was the king of the pink jade.

"Gentlemen, why are you here now? I've been waiting for you for a year. Do you know, gentlemen? I've been waiting for you for a year. ”

"Childe, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Lao Chen...... The old minister is late. ”

"Old Dean, the kid won't take any of these elixirs, it's all poison. But this alchemy, these are all chemistry, they are science! This can greatly promote the development of productive forces, and it can also play a greater role in the military aspect......"

"Good, good, this is science, this is productivity ......"

Zou Yan muttered, "Wang ...... Your Majesty, the old minister...... The old minister went, really...... Really want to see it again...... Look at the king. Illustrious...... King Zhaoxian, an old minister...... The old minister came to chase ...... Followed you......"

After that, Zou Yan slowly closed his eyes and never opened them again.

A meteor swept across the inky black night sky and disappeared into the sky.

In the fourth year of Yan Wangkang (251 B.C.), the seventy-five-year-old minister of Yan Guoge, Zou Yan, who was in Shangqing, died of illness in the mansion in Xiangping City.

Zou Yan, a native of Qidi.

The founder of the Yin-Yang Theory and the founder of the Five Elements School. The great geographer, agronomist, and educator of China.

During the period of Ji Kang's great-grandfather King Yan Zhao, King Yan Zhao recruited talents, and Zou Yan heard about it and returned to Yan from Qi.

When Zou Yan arrived in Yan Kingdom, King Yan Zhao personally swept the floor for him with a broom, afraid that the dust would fall on him.

The history books recorded: "(Zou Yan) Ruyan, King Zhao supported the pioneers, invited the disciples to sit and receive employment, built a stone palace, and went to the teacher in person." It can be seen that King Yan Zhao attaches great importance to Zou Yan.

Zou Yan is mainly engaged in the development of agriculture and production, and has made significant contributions to the agriculture of Yanguo.

"The Biography of Fang Shi" said: "Zou Yan is in Yan, Yan has a valley, the land is beautiful and cold, and there are no five hubs." Zou Zi dwells in it, blows the rhythm and warms the air, and is born, now known as the valley. Wang Chong also said in "On Heng: Cold and Warm Chapter": "Yan has a cold valley, not five kinds, Zou Yan blows the law, and the cold valley can be planted." Among them, the Yan people are called millet valleys. ”

After the death of King Yan Zhao, he was succeeded by Ji Kang's great-grandfather, King Yan Hui. King Hui was different from King Zhao, he did not trust the old ministers of the previous dynasty, and at this time, the situation in Yan and Qi reversed, and Zou Yan was a Qi person, so he listened to the rumors and arrested Zou Yan and imprisoned.

"Huainanzi" said: "Zou Yan is the king of Yanhui, and he is loyal." Left and right, the king, (Zou Yan) looked up to the sky and cried, and May was the frost. Zou Yan, who had suffered a great change, returned to Qidi after being released from prison.

When Yan Wangkang was the king of Liaocheng, Zou Yan and Lu Zhonglian came to Liaodi and served as the dean of Xiangping College.

After Zou Yan came to Liaodi, he further perfected his doctrine.

The theory of nine continents in geography, the theory of yin and yang in philosophical thought, and the theory of five elements have provided a solid theoretical foundation for the fields of geography, philosophy, medicine, calendar, and architecture in China, and their influence is extremely significant.

After Zou Yan came to Liao, he assisted Ji Kang wholeheartedly.

After Ji Kang became the king, Zou Yan guarded Liaodong and dutifully guarded the "backyard" for Ji Kang.

The period when Zou Yan was seriously ill coincided with the critical period of Yan Guo's war against Zhao. In order not to distract Ji Kang, he instructed everyone not to reveal the news of his serious illness to Ji Kang.

Since Ji Kang returned to Jidu from Liaodi, until he died of illness. Zou Yan has never seen him again, and he has never been relieved of the young king.
