It's no wonder that Feng Ji is making a fuss, it's just that the scene inside and outside Handan City is really too weird. Let's say they didn't fight, there were really hundreds of corpses outside the south city gate, and the houses and shops in the city were more or less implicated by siege stones; It can be said that they fought, and all the soldiers under them were full of energy, full of red light, and they didn't even have any colors, and they didn't look like they had experienced a bloody battle at all......

However, Zhang Lang, who had just made a great achievement, also stuffed a ball of paste in his head, and of course he didn't know how to explain it to his old brother; In desperation, he could only laugh a few times in a tricky way, and he changed the conversation left and right:

"Hey, don't ask how this battle is fought, anyway, Handan City has fallen into the hands of Lao Tzu, this big mansion, this official seal, it must not be fake! I said Feng Haozi, don't say that I, as a brother, don't take care of you! Starting tomorrow, I will take my brothers to begin clearing the official roads in the nearby villages and counties, so as to give you plenty of time; But three days later, if your people can't pass Shimen City, then my brother will lead the army north to grab credit from you! ”

Feng Ji looked at his villainous appearance, and his heart was naturally greasy; But because of the uselessness in his hands, he really couldn't say anything hard, so he could only give him a vicious look, put a chopsticks and crispy fish in his mouth, and used the wine and food.

However, the clay figure still has three points of earthiness, not to mention a veteran who has been carrying his head to the battlefield to kill the enemy for many years! Feng Ji listened to the other party's wordless ridicule of "coughing and wheezing", and even these delicacies, which were extremely rare in the troubled times, felt that they were not tasty the more he chewed them......

With a "snap", Feng Ji smashed his chopsticks, patted his chest fiercely, and stared at the old brother as if fighting cocks and said:

"Zhang Huazi! You kid just became a general, and you dare to go crazy with Lao Tzu? The little ability in your hand is all taught by Lao Tzu, how many catties and taels do I know? Since you can defeat Handan City in one battle, I, Feng Ji, will be able to fight Shimen and draw Baozhou again! Five days later, Lao Tzu prepared donkey meat in Baozhou City to wash the dust for you and your brothers! Leave! ”

After finishing speaking, Feng Ji turned around and left the main hall of the Huang Mansion; And the chief of the guard, who was teasing the maid of the Huang Mansion outside the door, saw his general walking out of the gate angrily, and hurriedly followed forward to ask:

"Didn't you just start the banquet, where are you going in such a hurry? All of our brethren are ......"

"Hugh Hugh, are you dogs so tired? Spread my general's order, and the whole army immediately pulled out the camp and went straight to Shimen City! ”

"General, are you competing with "Zhang Huazi" again? That Shimen City is not as good as Handan, that is the capital of Jizhou Road! Besides, even if we have to fight, it will be too late tomorrow, and now it is already dark......"

"What? Are you afraid of seeing the moon? Hurry up, if you take a break, Yanjing City has been taken down, and the brothers can't even smell a fart! ”

In fact, Feng Ji was in such a hurry to march, not just to compete with Zhang Lang.

Now the city of Handan is broken, and the gateway of Jizhou Road is open. The Qin army marched in three directions and went straight to Yanjing City at the same time. It's clear to count on your fingers, I'm afraid there are few battles to fight in this war. Once the King of Qin enters the Zijin Palace in the future, the Huayu Continent will return to the prosperous era of Qingping; Then they have no family background and no connections, and if they want to be promoted and make a fortune, it will be more difficult than ascending to the sky!

How good is the situation of the Qin army, then the situation of the Northern Yan Dynasty has been so difficult. In today's Yanjing City, except for the three old men standing at the top, everyone is calm on the surface, and their hearts are turbulent, panicked and unstoppable.

The people of the capital were afraid of the war, and they were even more afraid of the tigers and wolves of the Qin army that burned and looted in Sanjin and Zhongzhou; But now that Yanjing City is surrounded by war on all sides, they have no way to escape, so they can only entrust their heads to Emperor Tianyou and the Northern Yan Dynasty.

But in fact, the day when the imperial power of Northern Yan changed hands was the end of the battle of Qin Yan; So who the emperor will do, at least for the people of Yanjing City, there will be no change; However, for those of high and powerful courtiers, the results were very different.

Zhou Changfeng, the king of Qin, was not a tyrannical king, and he had no reason to massacre Beijing officials; It's just that Zhou Changfeng's father and son have been in the Three Qin Dynasty for many years, and they have already secretly cultivated a mature team from the Qin Palace. Especially after the Qin army uprising, after the initial period of adaptation, the trajectory of military and civil affairs became more and more mellow.

Everyone is an expert in governing the country, and it is not a clever skill to deduce the stability of the structure of the court from the way the land of Sanqin operates.

To put it simply, on the land north of the Huajiang River today, there are "two sets of imperial court structures in the east and west" at the same time; When the world is peaceful in the future, when Zhou Changfeng is in the ninth five-year plan, then which team he will choose to enter the Purple Gold Palace to assist in the governance of the country is not a question at all.

This is also the main reason why the capital, which was originally scattered and independent, suddenly spontaneously hugged together and worked together to defend the territory and resist the enemy after the Qin army uprising. As the saying goes, once the son of heaven is a courtier, only when the emperor is in the world, the court clothes and official positions of these people have practical value.

However, as the battle gradually fell to the side of the Qin army, Zhu Yuntao of Bashu Dao also pressed the last hand of bets before sealing the plate; Those Northern Yan courtiers who originally remembered the truth of "lips and teeth are cold" also dispelled their luck one after another.

Husband and wife are originally birds of the same forest, and they have to fly separately when disaster comes, not to mention a crumbling Northern Yan Dynasty and a Daoless son of heaven who is about to be ousted from the imperial throne?

Therefore, since the defeat of Hedong City, some well-informed officials in the capital began to secretly prepare their own "retreat". This group of people has been in control of the government for a long time, and after years of personal contacts, they have naturally woven a network of human relations that extends in all directions. Those who had left a "doorway" in Chang'an City had already secretly written to the King of Qin and swore that they would try to open a certain city gate on the day the king arrived in Beijing, in order to show their sincerity.

As for those courtiers who did not have a strong way, they began to sell off their private property and seek opportunities to transfer all their floating wealth to the beautiful scenery and spring of the four seasons of the Nankang Dynasty. For them, it is unrealistic to continue to be officials, and it is nothing more than to leave the "Northern Qin" with their families and live a comfortable and prosperous old age in Nankang after a change of days.

Anyone who is condescending will naturally have a very clear line of sight, and the way to get information is far from being comparable to these mediocre people. However, in this tacit undercurrent, only the two old ministers who have controlled the government for decades and are enough to restrain the Son of Heaven did not participate in it.

Mubei Gongwang Fang, who is a martial artist, has never been a big thing; In addition, he has been entangled in military affairs, and he has to take care of Chiwu for the fourth prince Zhou Chang'an, so he has long been lacking in skills and has no time to take care of him; Therefore, what really baffles the hundred officials in Beijing is the great butler of the Northern Yan Dynasty, Cai Youxiang, who has already been brilliant in financial skills!

The market of the black market in the capital naturally fell to the freezing point on the day when Xiang Qing, the governor of Bashu Road, appeared, forced Luojing Chen Shijie to surrender the city, and the queen hanged herself. At that day's court meeting, there were more than 20 court officials above the fourth rank who were absent from work for no reason!

On that day, Cai Xi himself presided over the court meeting in the Zijin Palace, but his family members poured out; There is also the manager sent by Lu Dong's hometown, who entered Beijing with all the title deeds and village tickets, and also "secretly" joined the queue of the big selling.

But in the early morning of the next day, Zhu Yuntao was ready to lead the army to leave Shu, and the two gossip news that the four princes wanted to take the Three Jin Dynasty as the basic plate and support the army to stand on their own two sides spread in Yanjing City at the same time. Although the Purple Gold Palace's routine court meeting was still grinding over how to resist the enemy; But in private, there is a group of unidentified guys, waving countless silver tickets, and they have collected more than eighty percent of the grange title deeds on the market in a gesture of refusal......

Until the early morning of the next day, some court ministers with a particularly keen sense of smell successfully guessed the identity of the person who "wantonly received goods" from this obviously personal financial skill, and also captured the prediction of the right minister Xianyang Gong for the direction of Qin Yan's battle in the secret business behavior of Cai Mansion......

Cai Xi, who is especially good at "standing in line" in his life, thinks that Emperor Tianyou is the real dragon son who has the last laugh!

As a result, these wise men with foresight and foresight immediately changed their whole plan; Of course, they also uphold good habits and do not confide in others. Among these people, there is also a third-rank member who has just been promoted to Jing Zhaoyin - Luo Yuan Luo Qianxi.

After the market closed that day, Emperor Zhou Yuanqing and Prime Minister Wang Fang were sitting opposite each other in the imperial study and drinking tea; And Cai Xi and Song Hanqing, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, led people to carry twelve large wooden boxes and quietly walked into the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has been ordered to collect more than eighty percent of the land deeds on the market; And the people who participated in the selling and taking over, the old ministers also compiled a book, and asked His Majesty to review it. ”

When he had finished speaking, he pulled out a book and waved his hand back; Song Hanqing ordered people to put down the twelve large boxes, and immediately led people out of the imperial study.

Zhou Yuanqing held the roster account book in his hand, and did not open it in a hurry, but walked forward slowly, opened the first wooden box, and stroked the title deeds of the Zhuang tickets with a complicated expression, and did not speak for a long time......

"Your Majesty...... This account book is sorted out, which really shocks the old minister! Think about these ......"

Cai Xi just said this, only to hear a "bang", after Emperor Tianyou closed the lid of the box, he used the oil lamp in front of Wang Fang to light the account book in his hand. From beginning to end, Zhou Yuanqing didn't look at the account books.

Although Cai Xi and Wang Fang looked a little stunned, they thought about it and understood it in their hearts. Zhou Yuanqing is not hateful, but he does not dare!
