Fold Keqiu and Fold Yan sit opposite each other, the two Fuzhou Fold families are the most important principals at the moment, and they all have a sad face at the moment.

Zhao Gou Group is in a stage of vigorous development, and all the civil and military ministers under his command are rising steadily, but they have already seen the ceiling above their heads, how is this not a heavy blow to the extreme for the Zhi family?

When the dust settled, the Zhe family faintly felt this fact, and in the next few months, it was just repeatedly confirmed by them.

"The longer it drags on, the more unhappy I will be in the eyes of King Yan. Now that the situation is about to make a decision, what is my uncle's decision? ”

Zhe Yan is the second son of Zhe Keshi, and the nephew of Zhe Keqiu, but he is ten years older than Zhe Keqiu. As the descendant of the Zhe family, relying on the legacy of the father of a generation of famous generals, the status of Zhao Song was far from being limited to Fuzhou.

It's just that things change at any time, and the Great Song Dynasty that Zhe Yanzhi can rely on has undergone drastic changes, but Zhe Keqiu holds the main force of the Zhe family in his hands, and he also has a deep estrangement from King Yan and maintains a certain degree of independence, so this status naturally jumps shoulder to shoulder with Zhe Yanzhi.

Even if the Fuzhou Zhe family is a super family living in groups, in the two hundred years of reproduction, the internal has long been divided into several branches, and the quality of Zheyan and Zhe Keqiu even have to come out of five suits (the ancestor of Zheyan is the great-ancestor of Zhe Keqiu), but because of the 'family style' of the Zhe family, they are still very close to each other.

Both sides are the people in charge of the Zhe family, and they have a huge influence on the Zhe family in Fuzhou, and they both care about the long-term future and interests of the Zhe family.

The longer it drags on, the more unpleasant it will be for King Yan to look at the Fold family, who would dare to say that he will not wear small shoes for the Fold family in the future?

Zhi Keqiu knew very well what Zhi Yan was saying, and more importantly, he returned to Fuzhou this time and brought a piece of news, a news related to the overall situation of the world in the future - King Yan's grand plan.

Why did the mob rise in the Great Song Dynasty during the Xuanhe period? In the past 160 years, why did the Great Song Dynasty frequently break out in peasant uprisings?

This is not something that can be summarized by a corrupt official and the harsh taxes of the imperial court.

Essentially, it is a contradiction between a growing population and the means of subsistence that cannot be increased.

Land, as the basis of an agrarian society, is the means of production, which cannot grow with the growth of population. With the prosperity of the dynasty, the rich have no land and no place for the poor, which is the inevitable result of China's feudal society.

Now it is the Northern Song Dynasty, there are still large tracts of land to be developed in the south, and China's own potential has not yet been tapped to the extreme, but the Ming and Qing dynasties, China, which has not embarked on the road of outward expansion, is really waiting to die.

With the experience of the late Ming Dynasty, Zhao Gou repeated his old skills, not too easy. Draw a big pie in the eyes of the court's civil and military ministers, of course, it will not involve overseas feudalism or the like, now is not the time, and even this policy is not his turn to implement. But Zhao Gou only needs to incorporate the Western Xia and Jin people, as well as the Tubo in the southwest and the Western Regions in the northwest, into his grand cause, which is a shocking cause in the eyes of many civil and military ministers under him.

The earth-shattering thunder is secret and still leaks, which gives Zhao Gou's civil and military ministers great confidence. The Jin people were defeated by the earth-shaking thunder in the flat field battle that they were best at, so it was not easy for King Yan to cut off the Jin Yu and level the party in the future?

As for Tubo and the Western Regions, it is not that Zhao and Song Wenwu look down on them, then Tubo is no longer a great power with hundreds of thousands of armor in the Li and Tang dynasties, and the Western Regions is even more unbearable.

In such a vast grand plan, if you can't get the trust of King Yan, how can you be in the names that will go down in history in the future? How can you fight for glory and wealth in the future?

More importantly, the biggest reason why the Zhe family was able to rule Fuzhou for 160 years after entering the Song Dynasty was not the agreement between the ancestors and the imperial court when they descended to the Song Dynasty, but that Fuzhou was on the front line and fought endlessly year after year. This is one side state. But if the Jin people and the party items are all Yan Wang Dangping, Fuzhou will change from a side state to a hinterland, and the imperial court can tolerate the Zhe family to continue to be so 'independent'?

Neither Zhi Keqiu nor Zhi Yan are very peerless generals, and neither of them has great merit. It is their fathers who can sit in their current position, one fold can be suitable for the other fold, that is the real celebrity.

The real capital of Zhe Keqiu and Zhe Yan is the name that the Zhe family has made in the northwest territory for more than 200 years, that is, the 10,000 or 20,000 Zhejia troops in the two prefectures of Fulin.

This is the foundation of the Zhi family, and it is the endless inheritance of the Fuzhou Zhi family for more than 200 years, but now it has also become a roadblock that prevents them from moving forward.

Zhe Keqiu's face was gloomy, the Zhe family had served the Great Song Dynasty for more than 100 years, and they had already left a deep imprint on themselves. Although in a sense, they are similar to feudal towns, but the Great Song Dynasty has long trusted them, which has been done in Hedong first from Zheyan to do official business in Hedong and is Li Gang's deputy in the Battle of Taiyuan. After the defeat of the Battle of Taiyuan, he was not questioned, but was promoted to the deputy envoy of Xuanfu in Hedong, Hebei, which can be seen. Later, he led 120,000 troops to guard the Yellow River with Li Hui, a member of the Privy Council. It can really be said that Hong En is mighty.

It's just that the results aren't pretty. The 120,000 army collapsed without a fight, and the Jin people drove straight into the city of Bianliang, and then he was demoted to the deputy envoy of the Haizhou regiment and went to Yongzhou to settle down.

It can be said that if it weren't for the fact that the two ends of the first rat in the Battle of Taiyuan were not contained, and even since the Battle of Taiyuan, King Yan would not have been so suspicious of the Folded family. According to Zhi Yanzhen's exploits in the First Battle of Chenliu, as well as the hard work all the way to the north, how could he only end up with a deputy marshal in name only? And he is also confined to Fuzhou by death?

It can be said that this is all a bargaining fault!

Although he didn't think so, he was lazy and slippery in the Battle of Taiyuan, and after the Battle of Taiyuan, he always kept the two states of Fulin and the foundation of the Zhejia army.

Otherwise, if they fight to the death with the Jin people, even if they can hold Fuzhou, I am afraid that their vitality will be greatly damaged.

"Can the Ori family make a second choice now?" Fold Keqiu smiled bitterly.

When the ancestors surrendered to Zhao and Song, the biggest reason for the fact that the family had such an unusual status was the geographical location of Fulin Erzhou.

The two states are located on the border of the Liao and Song dynasties, and the Fuzhou Zhejia still had the Linzhou Yang family as an ally of the in-laws at that time, but now?

The Yang clan in Linzhou has long since declined. The Yang family, who chose a completely different route from the Zhi family, only lasted for four generations. Born in a big house, he is a branch of Yang Ye, and he has been unknown since Yang Wenguang. And the second room Yang Chongxun's branch (Yang Ye's own brother) fell faster. Yang Chongxun is located in the second son Yang Guangran, Yang Guangyan once broke the Liao army in Fengzhou with Zhe Yuqing, but unfortunately died young at the age of 31. At that time, his eldest son Yang Qi was only seven years old, and the Yang family did not specialize in the land of Linzhou.

Therefore, even if they hold the two prefectures of Fulin, but have no allies outside, the situation today is more than ten times more difficult than back then.

What's more, that King Yan is ambitious and has the intention of swallowing Jinxia, how can he let Fuzhou go?

"Naturally, I am not willing to let go of my ancestral business." Zhe Keqiu has been the governor of Fuzhou for many years, and his official position is lower than that of Zheyan, but he has soldiers and horses in his hands, like a small prince, of course, he is more comfortable. "But today, what if you are unwilling?"

Perhaps, it's not a bad thing to stop now. It's better than being besieged by King Yan's army one day and then 'stopping'!
