Chapter 186: End of the Year
The next day, Li Xin and Peng Lin led the army back to Guanzhong.
"The place in the North Luoshui River Valley, so the three counties of Xiangluo, Zhilu, and Qianshui can recover first! Those places, if we don't grasp them, others will not be polite. The most important thing is that the big ~ piece of land has been wasted in vain, not to mention, the 1,000 army in the east of the Fuyuan Pass is also lonely and has no place to rely on! After returning to Chang'an, there was no time to rest, so Li Xin called Wang Meng over.
"If you want to recover, you can restore the county government for the time being! However, there are not many people left in those places, and there are quite a few Hu people mixed in with them. In particular, this Zhilu County used to belong to the Beidi County of the Han Dynasty, while the two counties of Xiangluo and Qianshui belonged to the Shang County. Wang Meng listened, thought for a while, and frowned.
"I intend to restore the upper counties first, and then I will use these three counties as my subordinates, and with them, the defensive forces in the north can be relied upon. Whether it is military rations or security, it is easier to get guarantees. As for the different problems, this is also easy to solve, I have already thought about it, the original overseas Chinese ruled in the west of Fengyi County Beidi County was withdrawn, and the two counties of Niyang and Fuping were unified under the rule of Xinping County. As a result, there will be five counties under Xinpingzhi Taishou Lu's hands. As for the restoration of Xiangluo and other three counties, you can check it out after the year, and the site will be restored. In short, first of all, do a good job of selecting officials! ”
"Well, when the weather improves, I'll go and check it out. In the North Luoshui River Valley, although it is mountainous, there is also quite a lot of fertile land, and after we restore it, the defense of Guanzhong will be more complete! Wang Meng agreed with this proposal.
The two discussed the details for a while, and then they went their separate ways.
Li Xin only stayed in Chang'an for one night, and early the next morning, he went with his own soldiers again, this time, he went to the east side of the river. Now, except for the guards there who have not yet gone to see it, he has already inspected the defenders in other places.
You can't favor one over the other and ignore Liu Xiaohai and them! More than a month has been spent like this. Even Li Xin himself is not sure where to settle down during the Chinese New Year this year.
Last year, when the Chinese New Year was celebrated, he spent it at Zhou's house. This year, it may or may not be possible to spend it with the soldiers stationed at Yiguan. After all, the road from Chang'an to Yiguan is really not close.
On the territory of the Huashan Army today, Li Xin is most worried about the problem in Hedong, and in other places, he feels that there is basically no problem. Even if there is a certain problem, it can be easily solved!
Only this land east of the river, except for the west near Guanzhong, which is considered safe, the other three directions are basically under threat.
And just when he went to Hedong to inspect, in the land of Longxi at this time, Fu Sheng, who had just made Xiangwu County the new capital, had just moved here with the ministers of civil and military affairs a few days ago.
However, Fu Sheng is obviously not satisfied with this place! Because in his opinion, this place was not at all worthy of the majesty of his emperor.
So, he decided to do something, and that was to build a new palace to serve as the emperor's daily residence.
"The official office of Xiangwu County is shabby, how can it be used as the emperor's residence? The new palace must be built as soon as possible, and this matter will be handed over to Dong Rong to be responsible! Among the officials of Longxi County, Fu Sheng had a calm face and said to the ministers below.
Dong Rong was the one who followed Fu Sheng in the past, and he can be regarded as his confidant. As the saying goes, if a person attains the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven. Dong Rong, who was originally just a small person, is now a scholar.
"Your Majesty, please be relieved, the minister will immediately go and mobilize manpower to build a brand new palace for Your Majesty to show the majesty of our emperor!" When Dong Rong heard this, he immediately stood up and replied.
When Fu Sheng heard this, his face finally looked better.
"Your Majesty, please think twice about the new palace!" However, Fu Sheng was not happy for long, and Taifu Wang fell and stood up.
"What do you mean, Taifu? Isn't it because I am not allowed to build a palace? Fu Sheng said unhappily.
"Your Majesty, if it is freezing today, the people are displaced. At this time, it is time to appease the people and relax the administration. If you send a large number of troops and build a palace, I am afraid that it will be harmful and unprofitable! Wang Fall's temperament is relatively strong, even if he was unhappy when he saw Fu Sheng, he didn't shy away from it at all, and said directly.
"Then according to Taifu's meaning, I don't deserve a palace? The dignified emperor, there is not even a palace, but your face is very bright? Fu Sheng stared at him and said coldly.
"Your Majesty, Taifu doesn't mean to say that you don't want a palace, but that you won't do it until after the spring of next year. After all, now that the snow is covered and not up to people's knees, I am afraid that it will not succeed if the construction starts at this time. Once the foundation is unstable, the palace will be safe, and please consider your own safety, and wait until the division has surveyed, and then carry out this matter! Seeing that the atmosphere seemed to be getting more and more stiff, Shang Shuling Zhao Ju hurriedly stood up and said.
"That's what Taifu meant?" But Fu Sheng obviously didn't intend to let this matter go, so he looked at Wang Cheng and asked.
Originally, Zhao Ju was looking for a step for both sides, but what he didn't expect was that these two people were bull tempers, and they didn't have the slightest intention of compromise.
"The minister's words mean that Your Majesty should not work hard and waste money, just to build a palace for himself. Not only should it not be built this year, but it should not be built even in the future. Now the imperial court is in crisis, with Huashan anti-thieves in the east, and Liangzhou Zhang's in the west fighting against us, which is the time to walk on thin ice. Your Majesty does this~ thing, the first emperor doesn't know when the foundation will be restored! Wang Luo looked directly at Fu Sheng without fear and said slowly.
"Bastard thing, what bastard are you talking about? Could it be that if I build a palace, the country will be destroyed? It's just sensational, nonsense! Come on, quickly drag this old puppet out and beat me to death with a stick! Fu Sheng was completely enraged, and suddenly stood up from his seat, swept the things on the table in front of him to the ground, and then cursed.
The guards outside the door immediately ran in and tried to get the king out. But at this time, the surrounding ministers realized that something was wrong and immediately came out to intercede for Wang Yuan.
"Your Majesty, Wang Taifu is an old minister of the Three Dynasties, and he has made great contributions to Great Qin! If there is anything inappropriate in speaking now, please forgive your Majesty! Forgive him. Prime Minister Lei Xiao'er knelt on the ground and said loudly.
"Please take back your Majesty's order and forgive the Taifu!" Other civil and military ministers, such as Liang Su, Liang An, Zhao Ju, Duan Chun, etc., also knelt on the ground and pleaded for Wang Yuan.
"What are you doing? Drag this old puppet out! Whoever dares to intercede with him again will be doomed to him. Dong Rong, didn't he say that labor costs money? When I built my palace, I sent the old man and his family to the construction site, day and night, so that they could taste what it was like to work hard and lose money! Fu Sheng's temper was very hot, and when he saw so many people pleading for Wang Cheng at this time, he was even more angry, and it was directly the sin and the whole family.
As soon as these words came out, the people below were silent, and everyone could see that the emperor in front of him was not the previous Fu Jian and Fu Chang, this was an unreasonable person at all! If he continues to plead, I'm afraid that he will really end up with the king.
Soon, there was the sound of crackling sticks outside the official office. After all, Wang Fall was an elderly person, and after more than a dozen strokes, he was directly beaten to death.
The ministers who came out of the official office~ couldn't help but be silent when they saw the fallen body of the king who had no one to clean up on the ground. There is a color of grief on everyone's face, as if there is a sense of sadness for the death of a rabbit and a fox!
"The old man and Mrs. Wang have been friends for many years, and I can't bear to see his body exposed here!" Prime Minister Lei Xiao'er looked at it for a while, couldn't help but look up to the sky and sighed, and then said to himself.
With that, he walked up to the body of the king, lifted his body to the ground, and prepared to carry him on his back. Seeing this, the surrounding ministers came to help, and Fu Qin's civil and military ministers, except for a few people, lined up in two columns, surrounded Lei Qiao'er, and escorted the king's fallen body to his home.
Not long after Wang Fall's death, Dong Rong led a group of soldiers to rush towards Wang Fall's house with a fierce look. At the same time, he also issued a notice to the local governments, asking them to recruit the people and rush to the county town of Xiangwu to prepare for the construction of the imperial palace.
The entire county town of Xiangwu soon fell into an atmosphere of panic. The joy that was approaching the New Year was completely dissipated at this time. If anyone dares to disobey, he will be beaten severely and killed on the spot.
For the sake of a palace, near the end of the year, the entire land of Qinzhou in Longxi has become a chicken. And what happened here was quickly passed back by the Ministry Division, and then, through the hands of Tu Qi, it was rushed to Li Xin, who was still in Hedong.
When Li Xin received this news, it was Chinese New Year's Eve, but he was still in Hedong, gathering in Yuan County with Liu Xiaohai and Liao Chuan, and several other generals, preparing to celebrate the New Year simply.
"It seems that Fu Sheng has finally started his career as an emperor, but I don't know how long he can be in office!" After receiving the secret letter, Li Xin was silent for a long time, and then said lightly.
"General, but something happened over there in Longxi!?" Liu Xiaohai and Liao Chuan were on the side, and they couldn't help but ask at this time.
"See for yourselves!" Li Xin handed them the secret letter in his hand.
The two of them took it and looked at it suspiciously, and soon showed a look of surprise, Liao Chuan said: "Just because of the advice, the important ministers will be killed, and the family will be harmed." This is too brutal! ”
"This is just the beginning, and you will know in the future that in Fu Sheng's body, there is no most brutal, only more brutal!" Li Xin shook his head and said. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Eastern Jin Dynasty Tang Wang's Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
