In order to reward Jingbian for her efforts to quell the rebellion, the empress was very generous, and all meritorious soldiers were rewarded. or with money and food, or with military honors, or with an increase in office, or with a transfer, or with a knighthood......

Before and after Li Yuanfang's saddle horse, born and died, promoted to the general of Qianniuwei, he was still under Di Fatpang's subordinates, although he did not have real power, he still did the work of guards, but his name was a lot louder, after all, he was also considered to have entered the ranks of relatives and nobles, which was a height that he could not reach in the army alone for a lifetime.

In the matter of Pingzhou, Di Renjie commanded and solved the case, but during his expedition, the position of the internal history was replaced by Wang Heshan, an old minister of the Ti Dynasty recalled by the empress. Therefore, the old fox was transferred from Fengge to Luantai, served as a waiter, Tongping Zhangshi, and added a golden purple Guanglu doctor, or a political affairs hall boss. However, he didn't stay long in the court, and he was sent to Hebei to work with Lou Shide to comfort the people.

As for Yuan Langjun, the title is the Duke of Xunguo, and the general of Huaihua is given a manor in the western suburbs of the god capital, and a number of money and silk. The names of the lords have risen, but they have lost their real positions, Yuan Hui has considered it, and it is estimated that because of the identity of the horse, the samurai side is also indispensable to make a stumbling block.

And Wu Yizong, who made the heavens angry and resentful, the emperor did not punish him, but regarded him as a thousand cavalry generals, and together with Wu Yougui, he commanded the thousand cavalry of the North Gate, which belonged directly to the emperor.

Even Li Kaigu, the Khitan general, was promoted to an official and worshiped as the general of the Right Guard, leading the army to continue to conquer the remnants of the Khitan rebellion and those who were still in rebellion in Anton.

For the appointment of the Khitan general, there was a controversy among the court, naturally Wu Yizong led the miscellaneous fish, in order to target Yuan Langjun, take the matter of Jizhou Khitan surrender and rebellion. Of course, Yuan Hui is striving for it, although he has little right to speak, but he has finally made a voice.

The empress is obviously also suspicious, she really has a good impression of the Khitans. In the end, Di Fat stood up, talked about things, and admonished Wu with "Caring for virtue and virtue, all for my use", and appointed Li Kaigu and Luo Wucheng as generals to conquer the Khitan remnants.

At this point, Yuan Langjun has to accept the love of the old fox, even if Di Renjie is dedicated to the public. At the same time, the Wu family's stirring up also made Li and Luo move closer to Yuan Hui. The bearded Li Kaigu also went to the house to meet once, after all, Wu Yizong's suggestion of "punishing the Khitan and surrendering the pawns" was also heard by him.

However, after a battle with Wu Yizong and others, Yuan Langjun decided to keep his eyes on it. The butt can be crooked to one side, but he does not want to be the vanguard of Li Wu's struggle, which is very dangerous, especially after the empress expressed her intention to establish a prince in the court to consolidate the country.

A big award, the Great Zhou treasury is bleeding again, the treasury is gradually weakening, and the national strength has shown signs of decline.

In fact, with the continuous border troubles in recent years, several expeditions, and several major projects of the Wu Dynasty, the finances of the Great Zhou Dynasty have reached a difficult situation. The empress has worked hard, and the savings she has accumulated in the past few years since she became emperor have been almost consumed.

Up to now, maintaining such a huge empire and controlling a huge territory, the Great Zhou is already a little powerless.

That is, the two great victories against the Turks and the Khitan alleviated the border suffering, and as the Tubo Zanpu Chidu Songzan grew older, the desire to seize power became more and more prosperous, and it was expected that he had the worry of civil strife, which also made the strong Tubo put away its fangs and gave the Great Zhou a relatively peaceful external environment. Of course, the Turkic Mosi is still fighting in the north and south of the desert to expand its strength, and sooner or later there will be a war against the Turks.

People of insight can already see the problem, and it seems that Di Renjie played an admonition, killed soldiers, recruited less, rested with the people, and even suggested abolishing the almost collapsed Andong Protectorate. It's a pity that the empress half listened, even if the imperial court had basically lost control of the Andong region, but still wanted to invest forces to maintain it, how could the emperor give up lightly from the country inherited from Gaozong.

At the same time, in the people, under the prosperous situation, there is also a crisis looming. With the increasing severity of land annexation and the destruction of the equalization system, there is already a trend of collapse. In some localities, they could not afford to respond to frequent wars and had heavy garrisons, but the taxes and conscriptions under the regulation of rents and conscriptions were not reduced, and the phenomenon of government soldiers and peasants under the equalization system of land had already fled.

Of course, the crisis is only a little beginning, and it is still far from being out of control, and the collapse of the system that maintained the strength of the Tang and Zhou dynasties is not an overnight thing.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the struggle between Li and Wu, which had spread from the struggle for the succession to the imperial throne, was still the main contradiction. At the same time, the older the emperor gets, the more he has the intention of neglecting his government, which makes the government more and more chaotic......

Of course, for the time being, Yuan Langjun is still sitting and watching the development of all this as a semi-outsider. Sometimes, in order to make a sense of presence, they will kick down and then quickly retract, making self-preservation the first priority. As for when to actually enter, it depends on the changes in the situation.

"Colt."

"Colt."

In the morning, from the couch of Taiping, strolling between the zigzag pavilions and corridors, all the way to see, the servants and maids, all saluted to Yuan Langjun.

Although he is already the Duke of Xunguo, in the princess's mansion, all the attendants still habitually call him "concubine". Although Yuan Hui didn't care, he always had a feeling of "door-to-door son-in-law" in his heart, and he was a little obstructed.

These days, Yuan Langjun has lived in the princess's mansion, staying at home, controlling contacts, and doing obscure things. Fall in love with the noble lady and princess every day, you and I are nong, and occasionally do some indescribable things carefully, and the days are quite leisurely.

The flower garden of the princess's mansion is very large, a lake pond covers an area of several acres, it is the height of summer, the lake is full of lotus leaves, blooming with various colors of lotus. The spirit is very good, all of a sudden came to the interest, Yuan Hui flew up, showed a wave of light skills, stepped on the waves, lightly swept a rockery in the center of the lake, stood at the highest place, opened his hands in the wind, closed his eyes slightly, and installed a "law of nature" X.

"Yuan Hui!" Soon, a very unceremonious cheer interrupted Yuan Langjun.

However, hearing his voice, Yuan Langjun's face was not unhappy, but showed a little playfulness. Relaxed his body, opened his eyes and looked at the voice, on a large lawn on the other side of Yuan Lake, Xue Chongxun was looking at him indifferently.

Xue Chongxun is a lot longer and stronger, at this time, he is dressed in a strong suit and holding a sword, but he is a heroic young man. There was another weapon rack on the grass, and a few servants were waiting next to it, and it seemed that this kid was doing morning exercises.

jumped out, swinging his legs easily, stepping on a lush summer willow on the shore of the lake, and falling in front of Xue Chongxun in an elegant posture, holding his hands in his arms, glancing at this kid: "You, what do you call me?" ”

Seeing Yuan Langjun's skills, Xue Chongxun's eyes narrowed, he couldn't get used to his tone, and he didn't speak, Xue Chongxun threw the sword in his hand in front of Yuan Langjun with the scabbard. From this hand, it can be seen that this kid's martial arts have indeed improved.

Then, Xue Chongxun pulled out a sword from the weapon rack, stared at Yuan Langjun deadly, and almost said: Draw the sword.

Seeing this, Yuan Langjun pulled out the sword in front of him, the movement was very slow, and the sound of the sword and the scabbard rubbing was a little harsh. After dancing a sword flower, Yuan Langjun looked at Xue Chongxun and said indifferently: "It's not big or small, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll teach you." What is the Father, what is the Son! ”

"Humph!" Yuan Hui's words seemed to touch Xue Chongxun's sensitive place, only to see his cold face, his eyes showing a fierce light, and he stabbed at Yuan Langjun with his sword.

Yuan Hui raised his sword to meet him, and with a blow, the two of them staggered. Soon, the sound of the two fighting was heard on the shore of the lake. Xue Chongxun, this kid, is playing with Yuan Langjun seriously, and he has invaded several times, leaving no room for it, as if he expected Yuan Langjun not to dare to hurt him. The danger between the hands made the servants next to him tremble.

However, with his humble martial arts, Yuan Hui dealt with it with ease, but after more than ten moves, he was angry in his heart, and took advantage of the change of a move to use a heavy hand......

"Uh......" With a muffled snort, Xue Chongxun fell heavily to the ground, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, and a shallow sword wound appeared between his neck. He couldn't climb up, and as for his sword, it had been knocked into the lake by Yuan Langjun.

Several servants called out "Da Lang" and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.

Yuan Langjun looked at Xue Chongxun, his expression was indifferent, his fingers gently brushed the slight blood marks on the blade of the sword, and said coldly: "Remind you for my father, my patience is limited. Also, before doing something, it's best to think about it and don't overdo it! ”

After speaking, Yuan Langjun broke the sword in his hand, put it in front of Xue Chongxun, and turned to go.

As for Xue Chongxun, his eyes breathed fire, looking at Yuan Langjun's back, he couldn't speak, and after spitting blood, he fainted directly.

"Da Lang...... Da Lang ......"
