- "Qianyuan Strange Ambitions: Yan Gexing"

Not long after Jin Hong left the imperial study, a middle-aged scribe in a dark purple official robe came to the outside of the imperial study accompanied by the inner attendant, and a lifelike blue water unicorn was embroidered on the official robe.

The official officials of the Yan Empire are divided into seven grades, and the official uniforms of each official are also distinguished by color to distinguish the ranks, just like the military ranks of later generations, the Yan Empire since the establishment of the first emperor of Zhaolie, the imperial court stipulates that non-court officials can only wear clothing other than the color of the official uniforms, but because the social system has just changed from the slave system to the absolute monarchy system, the degree of development of production technology is not high, and the colors that can be produced and used by the major dyeing workshops are few, and black is exclusively used by the royal family, symbolizing the supreme imperial power, and non-members of the royal family cannot be used. Therefore, after removing the color of the official uniform, basically only plain colors are available.

According to the record of "Qianyuan Yizhi • Emperor Zhaolie Benji", once Emperor Zhaolie went out of the palace to inspect, and saw that the people in the city were all dressed in plain clothes and white shirts to greet him, so he looked left and right and said: "Someone in the city is out of the funeral today? Its influence is so great that the people of the city are dressed in linen to send it away, but I have not heard of it! ”

The attendant beside him said in surprise: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is out of the palace to tour the east, blessing all the people, and the mountains and rivers are blessed, how can there be a funeral." ”

"Then why is it that as far as my eyes can see, the people are all plain clothes and white shirts, and this journey is like a city of sacrifices?"

The chamberlain suddenly realized, but he didn't dare to say bluntly that such a look was the fault of the court, and he didn't know how to reply, but at this time, the queen Feng, who had been sitting on the side, somewhat understood the reason, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, of course, many things can't be done with a thin mask, just because at the beginning of this dynasty, in order to divide the difference between the officials of our dynasty and the people to reflect the prestige of our dynasty, the people were forbidden to wear official uniforms, so there is the current situation." ”

When Emperor Zhaolie heard this, he suddenly said: "I see, but there is no other color except the color of the official uniform?" ”

At this time, the waiter continued: "The major dyeing workshops have also tried to configure new colors, but the effects are similar to the color of official uniforms, so it will not be done." ”

So Emperor Zhaolie generously admitted his mistake, and then waved his pen: the people's clothing was no longer limited to colors other than black, and the color grade restrictions were only applicable to the official uniforms of the imperial court. However, from this matter, it can also be seen that Emperor Zhaolie was able to become the first emperor of the ages, and it was not all luck, so open-minded to ask how many monarchs from ancient times to the present have been able to do it.

The official uniforms of all levels set up by the Yan Empire were dark purple, two-pin red, three-pin orange, four-pin yellow, five-pin blue, six-pin brown, and seven-pin green.

The imperial envoy is the head of the imperial history platform, in the Yan Empire, the officials, soldiers, criminals, workers, households, and rites of the six books, the imperial envoy of the imperial history platform, as well as the great Sima in the army, the generals are all the first products of the dynasty, the shepherds of the states, the generals and the heads of the yafu in Beijing are all the second products, and the title of "Jun" is above the first product, Emperor Zhaolie abolished the position of the monarch, and Emperor Hui was reset in his later years to limit the then great Sima Jinhe, but at this time the "Jun" can no longer be the same as the high power of the Warring States Period, just a virtual title symbolizing honor, and no real power, and the official robe of "Junqing" is embroidered with a black four-clawed dragon pattern on a bright red background.

When the imperial envoy of the capital is named House Xuan, it is the eldest son of the Jingyue family Fang, when the Jingyue royal family Gouyue clan intends to return the country to the Yan country with a strong momentum, there is a lot of resistance in the country, many Jingyue clans stand up against it, thinking that Jingyue has strong national strength, abundant armor, and the southwest Dian country formed an alliance of marriage, when it can fight with the momentum of the Yan country, the domestic contradiction once escalated to a small-scale civil strife, in the face of such a situation, as the second largest family of Jingyue, the Fang family no longer maintains neutrality and silence, but decisively stands on the side of the monarch Gouyue, Advocating annexation, for a time the voice of opposition came like a tidal wave, but it was also in a hurry, and in an instant it dissipated without a trace in the country.

After Emperor Zhaolie ruled the world, he not only gave the Jingyue royal family great preferential treatment, but also gave the Fang family extremely generous remuneration, and many of the children of the Fang family also entered the central system of the empire to hold important positions, after all, the Yan State was able to take the land of Jingyue without blood, and the Fang family made great achievements, if the Fang family did not come forward, the Yan Kingdom wanted to destroy Jingyue in addition to the power of the country, it would take several years, so that the history of Emperor Zhaolie becoming the first emperor of the ages may have to be rewritten.

The house is the imperial envoy of the imperial history platform, and the imperial history platform is the place where the hundred officials are supervised, from the princes and ministers, down to the sesame officials, all under its supervision, the promotion of the officials who control the officials, and the imperial history platform is in a sense to control the debasement of officials, and is in charge of the system and institutions that tens of thousands of officials in the empire fear, and the power is not small.

At the same time, he also has another identity, that is, the teacher of Emperor Yan Shuyi today, Emperor Jin has a total of four teachers, Kong Wensheng taught him poetry and etiquette, Jin Ran taught him the emperor's majesty, Dugu Jiu taught him martial arts and self-defense, and finally the house Xuan taught him to govern the country and the country. Kong Wensheng is detached from the ordinary, Dugu Jiu has a cold personality, although Jin Ran is mellow, but because of his high merit, Yan Shu has been afraid of him since he was a child, and he has more respect for him, and only the serious but free and easy house Xuan finally became Yan Shu's friend who can put his heart into his heart, so later Yan Shu consulted him more when he encountered something difficult to decide.

Although Yan Shuyi no longer teaches Yan Shuyi, Yan Shuyi still treats each other as a teacher and student, and leads the house to sit down, Yan Shu can say with a straight face: "Mr. I know that Mr. has been busy with business recently, and the governor of Yinzhou County and his officials are still in a party for personal gain, please take a lot of trouble with Mr. How to deal with it, no need to scruples, and no compassion." ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, such an evil official should be severely punished, and the micro-ministers should handle it impartially."

After a long silence, Fang Xuan arched his hand again: "Your Majesty summoned Weichen to come for Prince Humeng?" ”

Yan Shuyi's eyes flashed a look of surprise, but it also disappeared in an instant, all said that Fang Xuan has a delicate heart, everything can see the first opportunity, so it seems that this statement is true: "But this person is calm but tactful, humble but not humble, more importantly, this person is extremely ambitious, and now he has not ascended to the throne of Khan, and there is not much threat to my Dayan, but with his prestige in Humeng, it is only a matter of time before Khan is in him, and at that time this person will be a big trouble in my Dayan." ”

Saying that, Yan Shuyi set his eyes on the side to listen quietly to the house Xuan, under the four eyes, of course the house Xuan saw the murderous intent in Yan Shuyi's eyes, and also understood that what Yan Shuyi said was not alarmist, but if this matter was directly intervened by the imperial court, it was not a good way to send troops to arrest or assassinate Kelie, and the two armies were still at war, not to mention that his prince was a friendly envoy to his country. If such an act is made, it may not only make Hu Meng angry and pour the strength of the whole country to invade the south, but also lose his trust and lose his heart to the people of the world and shake the foundation of Dayan.

Therefore, Kelie must die, but it cannot be done by the Great Yan Imperial Court or there can be a good reason.

Fang Xuan pondered for a while and replied: "Your Majesty, Weichen also has Your Majesty's concerns, but it is the trouble of my Dayan's henchmen, but if you want to eradicate this scourge, you need a righteous and bright reason to block the mouths of Youyou." ”

Yan Shuyi must have thought about this matter carefully, and also understood that it was extremely inappropriate for Dayan to directly participate, so it was not strange to Fang Xuan, but how to act was a problem that he was worried about.

Fang Xuan continued: "Although the imperial court can't do it personally, we can do it by pretending to be someone else's hand. There are three hands of others, one is the people in the rivers and lakes, but the people in the rivers and lakes are also my people of Dayan, although they have nothing to do with the court, but it is difficult for my Dayan to get out, this is the next policy; The second is poisoning, Weichen has seen a strange poison, can be latent in the human body for several months, but once the attack, this person will be like crazy, crazy, until exhaustion, convulsions and death, although this policy is hidden, but it is also easy to arouse the suspicion of others, it is inevitable to expose under the root cause, and this policy is too cruel and vicious, detrimental to yin morality, this is the middle policy. ”

"There are both a lower and a middle policy, and I guess Mr. has his own best policy in his heart." Yan Shuyi listened to the words of the house Xuan, and he was not in a hurry, smiling and listening to the best policy that the house Xuan was about to say.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Fang Xuan continued: "Wechen heard that although Hu Meng's prestige is high, not everyone is willing to bow to him, not all other princes have no idea about the throne, and it is not that no one has the strength to compete with him. ”

When Fang Xuan saw Yan Shu's eyes brightened in an instant, he was now waiting for his next step, so he sat up slightly straighter and said: "The Jilie Khan has five sons and three daughters, and the eldest Prince Kelie is the successor of the Jilie Khan's key training; The second child has a cowardly personality, although he has some knowledge, but in the fierce Humeng, he is mostly disliked by people; The third child was too reckless, and with brute force in everything, he was a rare brave general, but he was not fit to be a qualified leader, and his relationship with Corlie was the best among the brothers; The fifth is completely a second ancestor, and there is nothing to say. “

After a pause, Fang Xuan seemed to be trying to organize language to accurately express the point that was about to be said: "Our protagonist is the fourth child, the fourth prince of this fierce khan is named Duoduo, although the prestige power is far less than that of Kelie, if you talk about strategy alone, he even surpasses Kelie, it is said that Duoduo and Kelie are brothers of the same father and mother, and their mother Yehe is also Kelie's biological mother, although on the surface Duoduo is respectful to Kelie, and he is also quite close, but in his heart he has long hated his brother. ”

"Oh? Why is that? “

"Your Majesty doesn't know, Kelie and Duoduo are both born to the Khan and Yeh Kedun, because Kelie has been smart since he was a child, the eldest son of the Khan of Jilie, so he is deeply loved by the two, and all the attention is focused on Kelie, and the status of the prince born to the other side concubines is naturally not as good as Kelie, and there are not too many complaints about the preference of Khan and Kedun, when Kcan was ten years old, Kedun accidentally became pregnant, and then gave birth to Dord, Kedun had a difficult birth in that birth, and almost took her life, it is said that after giving birth to Dord, Kedun directly asked Wen Po to take Dordor away, without even looking at it, presumably this is also the reason why Dordor is not treated by his parents, so far Dordor has been living not like a prince, but like a servant, living can only rely on himself, until after the death of Kedun ten years ago, the Khan may also feel that it is too unfair to treat Dordor in this way, so that he is worthy of the name of the prince, but he does not know that the root of hatred has been deeply rooted in Dord's heart, he hates Jilie, hates Yehe, and hates Kelie even more. “

Yan Shu pulled out an arc from the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Don't look at the appearance of that Hu Meng barbarian who is very manly in front of people, I am afraid that this fierce man is a master who is afraid of his wife, this pillow is blown by the wind, this Ye He is also a ruthless horn, it is estimated that if this Duoduo was not her own child, she would have been thrown to the grassland to feed the wolves a long time ago." “

In fact, what Yan Shu said was good, when Duoduo came out of the production point and caused Ye He's dystocia and died, so afterwards Ye He's was very unkind to see his own son, Duoduo was sensible and came to her many times to ask for peace, she was able to avoid it, and in the formal clan ceremony, it was also as if she hadn't seen it, but she loved her eldest son Kelie, which also caused Duoduo to slowly turn into hostility towards Kelie from jealousy, and then to deep hatred, but all this was well hidden by himself, humble and polite in daily life, and had an excellent reputation, Politically, he also pretends to have no interest in power, never participates in anything that involves political overtones, and is extremely deferential to the list, which makes him unwary of his brother.

However, he had forgotten a popular truth in the grasslands, that the more ferocious the wolf, the more stealthy it would be before attacking.

House Xuan understood this, with the wisdom of His Majesty in front of him, of course he knew what to do, so he simply concluded: "Duoduo is also secretly accumulating his own strength in private, just wanting to compete with Kelie, it is still far away, if there is a strong force to support him now, I don't think he has any reason to refuse, the so-called Weichen's third strategy is the strategy to drive the tiger and devour the wolf." ”

"How did Sir learn such secrets, and if Dodor is as Sir says, then only a handful of people should know about these things."

House Xuan stroked the long hair on his chest and said with a smile: "Don't hide it from Your Majesty, Duoduo's secret envoy has been looking for someone who can introduce him to His Majesty, and it happened that Wei Chen was very favored by His Majesty, so he had these news."

Yan Shu supported his head with his left hand, and the five fingers of his right hand were lightly clasped on the table: "Drive the tiger and devour the wolf...... I want to meet the secret envoy tomorrow." ”

The arc at the corner of his mouth became more obvious.
