In the southeast of the Great Yan Empire, in Yong'an City, Yuan Yan and his think tank were discussing in the palace built by the regent of the former Chuzhang Empire.

Yong'an City, in fact, even if you only look at the southeast of the empire, it is also a very southern-based city, Yuan Yan was appointed as the Duke of the Southeast after Yuan Zeng ascended the throne, the southeast is sparsely populated, at that time there was only one city in Fuzhou City, located on the edge of the Blue River, so it is said that the Duke of the Southeast Kingdom, in fact, is only the lord of Fuzhou City.

Of course, all this, after the rebellion in the tenth year of Yuan Zeng, has completely changed, the north, which was originally the economic center, has been in chaos, and the people, and even the officials of the Great Yan Empire, have fled to the southeast, because the prequel also said that the southwest is occupied by barbarians, and now there are also people among the barbarians who have joined the Blue Sky Sect and occupied all the cities owned by the empire in the southwest. Therefore, the southeast part developed rapidly, and at that time, the rebels' northward and westward advance were blocked, so they pursued in the southeast direction, and the rest of the story happened in the prequel.

In fact, the most prosperous city in the southeast part is still Fuzhou City, after all, it started early, and the facilities have long been complete, which is faster than starting from scratch, but Yuan Yan and his think tank still chose Yong'an City as his station, the reason is very simple, one is that Yong'an City used to be the residence of a regent of the Chuzhang Empire, and the regent also built a lot of construction in this city, so you know, who wants to live in a luxurious palace, but live in a city close to the Blue River and close to the royal power?

Yuan Yan looked at the map for a long time, and finally asked, "Everyone, what do you think of the current situation of the national capital?" "You Yong spoke first, You Yong has been following Yuan Yan when he first founded the think tank, so he can be regarded as a person with the right to speak in the think tank." I don't think Wang Jing dares to do anything, his army has already offended the saints by breaking into the national capital, and other civil and military officials in the national capital will not sit idly by. ”

"Is the combat effectiveness of the hundred officials in the national capital strong, or is Wang Jing's army strong in combat effectiveness? Whoever dares to oppose Wang Jing, Wang Jing can kill you directly with the army! "Wu Nepo was the first to jump out to oppose it, Wu Nepo has a very straightforward personality, and at the same time he is also very good at leading troops to fight, many times with less to win more, and stubbornly repelled several times the rebels crossed the Blue River offensive, causing heavy losses to the rebels.

"Sometimes, the combat effectiveness of the hundred officials will really be stronger than the army, Wang Jing is from a family of prime ministers, he will not know this, if he really dares to do anything to the emperor, the saliva of the heavenly people will drown him" Although Liu Yuan joined the think tank very late, when it came to eliminating the remnants of the rebels in the southeastern part, his decisions made by several correct judgments laid the foundation for victory.

"That's right, but we must prepare for the worst," said Wu Yong, and Li Jiyun agreed.

At this time, in the palace of the national capital, the palace gate was closed, the emperor was not in the palace for a long time, at first after the emperor's disappearance was discovered, the palace was in chaos, the queen mother knew about it for the first time, but she did not order people to find the emperor, and closed the palace door, strictly prohibiting any news about the emperor's disappearance, perhaps, the queen mother also knew that the emperor at this time could only survive if he left, although the queen mother was also a member of the royal family, but also the emperor's mother, Therefore, this is the last thing a mother can do to the emperor.

At this time, an internal official came in to report to the Queen Mother, saying that the prime minister was already waiting outside the palace gate. "The Prime Minister is very concerned about the emperor's health, and I don't know why the palace gate is closed during this time, and I want to meet the emperor in person." "Let him in." "Yes."

After Wang Jing saluted, he went straight to the topic, "Queen Mother, what happened to the emperor, why is the palace door closed, and he does not go to court, if it is peaceful today, if the emperor is sick, it is really not a good thing." "Do you care about the emperor's body, or do you care about the body of the person who occupies the emperor's status and hinders you from becoming the emperor?" "The Queen Mother laughed, the minister and the Queen Mother are a family, and the minister is naturally loyal to the country." "That's it, the emperor is very good, it's just that the world has just gone through such turmoil, the emperor is physically and mentally exhausted, and the world is too, so let's take it as a rest with the people!" "Then, the minister had no choice but to retire."

The Queen Mother didn't let Wang Jing see the emperor, which made Wang Jing very puzzled, whether something really happened to the emperor, the Queen Mother was deliberately concealing it, but the Queen Mother and Wang Jing are both brothers and sisters, and they will be prosperous for the rest of their lives no matter what, and the Queen Mother really has no need to hide it.

A month has passed, and the emperor still hasn't appeared, and the voices discussing this matter have become more and more numerous, and all kinds of gossip are also full of rumors. At this time, Yuan Zeng finally fled to Yong'an City, in front of the Southeast Mansion.

"I know his purpose, so the last thing I can do is to stop him in this way, and I don't want the Wang family to take away my throne." Although Yuan Yan and Yuan Zeng have different identities, they are also familiar at first sight at this time. Although Yuan Zeng did this mostly for himself, Yuan Yan was very glad that Yuan Zeng could do this, so that Wang Jing could not force Yuan Zeng to take the throne, and if Wang Jing had to ascend the throne, it would only be unsatisfactory.

Subsequently, the news that the emperor had arrived in Yong'an City spread in the territory of the Dayan Empire, which existed in name only, and for a while, in addition to the Wang family, the spearheads of other officials were aimed at Wang Jing, and there was chaos in the national capital, and the people who had offended the Wang family before fled in a hurry as soon as they saw the situation in the national capital become like this, and other people who lived in the Wang family's sphere of influence and offended the Wang family also fled in a hurry, some ran to the northwest, and some fled to the southeast, Wang Jing finally knew what was going on, It's a pity that it's too late. The Yuan monk entrenched in the northwest used this as an excuse to lead an army of 300,000 under the banner of crusading against Wang Jing and went straight to the national capital, at this time the national capital Wang family's troops were only 120,000, and the national capital was in chaos, Wang Jing decided to lead the 120,000 army to leave the national capital and return to the northeast controlled by the Wang family.

So the 300,000 troops of the Yuan monk entered the national capital, and at this time, there were few people in the national capital, like a dead city. The national capital has experienced the construction of several generations of emperors of the Great Yan, the two main streets divide the city into south, east and west, using the fang city system, the imperial palace is located at the intersection of the two main streets, in the middle of the city, the population of the city is even more than 1.5 million at the maximum, but now there are only tens of thousands left. Before, the Queen Mother already knew that her son's relationship with Yuan Seng was irreconcilable, and now the Queen Mother even offended her own family for Yuan Zeng, and Wang Jing did not send anyone to the palace at all when she led the army away. It can be seen that although the Queen Mother is in a high position, she is already alone. In the end, the Queen Mother put on the funeral clothes and told the palace people to hold a funeral for her after her death, and even if she died, she would maintain the dignity of the Queen Mother. The monk was annoyed and angry, and the bamboo basket was empty, and he directly burned the capital, and the once prosperous national capital was destroyed in this way.

Yuan Zeng learned that his mother died, and cried bitterly, because the palace gate was only opened when the Yuan monk entered the national capital, so the news was only spread after the Yuan monk entered the city, Yuan Zeng hated the Yuan monk to the bone, but he was also extremely frightened for a long time, and the grief was affected, and he was sick from then on.

Wang Jing knew that he could no longer justifiably become the emperor, so he simply called Pingcheng, a city that had become more prosperous than the capital of the Great Yan Kingdom because of Chen Guang's great construction, and called it the emperor, the country was called the Great Jin, and the other forces called it the Northern Jin Dynasty. Pingcheng was originally just a small city, a whole circle smaller than the national capital, the largest population during the reign of the Great Yan Empire was 50, and it was similar to the national capital was divided into two main streets, east, west, north and south, and the middle was the official mansion, after Chen Guang's army entered Pingcheng, Chen Guang and the regent overhauled the palace, and finally even turned the entire Pingcheng into a palace complex, and had no choice but to extend the two main streets, so that the length of the two main streets became three times the original, and established a new boundary and rebuilt the city wall, Pingcheng eventually became the largest city in this land, the Northern Jin Dynasty hyped Yuan Zeng's sins, even if he did not accept Yuan Zeng's Zen position, Wang Jing must try his best to maintain the legitimacy of his regime, after all, although on the surface, the Wang family finally turned from the prime minister's family to the royal family, but as long as you are not careful, the entire Wang family will fall into the abyss, even the prime minister's family can not be done, no longer the glory of the past, even worse than the royal family.

The Yuan monk still uses the national name of Dayan, the capital of the country, because its power is in the northwest, other forces call it Xiyan.

Seeing that Dayan was like this, the barbarian national teacher in the southwest also announced that he was the emperor, and the country was called Dajing. The barbarian people have long regarded the national teacher as their leader. Therefore, this change did not bring more bad effects to the newly established Great Jing State. It's just a pity that the barbarian leader who is still in the national capital has completely lost his use value and has become a fish on the chopping board, slaughtered by others, but now it is estimated that no one will care about him, and sometimes, it is not necessarily a bad thing to be forgotten......

At this time, counting the forces of Western Yan, Northern Jin, Dajing, and then Yuanyan, the world of the Great Yan Empire was originally divided, and now it has been divided into four parts, and it is foreseeable that the future turmoil will not stop. But now, due to the long years of conquest and famine, no country can afford to wage war again, and can only be busy restoring the normal order of production and life first, but how long can this short lull last......

The four countries have inherited or imitated the system of the original Dayan Empire, dividing the official ranks into six grades, which is still a kind of scholar politics, and the officials are basically monopolized by the scholars, and the succession of the first three official positions from father to son has become an unwritten rule and is tacitly approved by the emperor, and the social class is divided into the scholar clan, the Qi people's household, the dependent household and the slave and maid. There are also different statuses in the social class, and the highest status in the scholar clan is undoubtedly the Wang family and the Yuan family, which have monopolized the throne and phase for a long time, although now the Great Yan Empire has finally perished, but the world is still occupied by the Yuan family. There are many things left behind by the Dayan Empire that still affect this land, will there be changes in the future......

It seems that no one has done anything wrong, whether it is Chen Guang, Yuan Yan, or Yuan Zeng Yuan monk, or even Wang Jing and Wu Kuo, they are all to live, live a good life, and strive for enough benefits for themselves and future generations, so what is wrong with this, is it this scholar system that is still not extinct, or is it because of people's desire for power and material. This world is surrounded by the vast sea, and no one knows what else is outside the world, and it seems that there is no need to know......
