In December of the Yonghan Dynasty, Dong Zhuo played, abolished the previous Zhaoning, Yonghan and other era names, and restored the Zhongping era of the former Ling Emperor, and the Han Xian Emperor was approved.

I don't know if it's almost winter, and the role of the edict is restored, the Han at the end of the sixth year of Zhongping suddenly calmed down.

The Northern Regions, which originally planned to fight against Bai Fluctuation before the winter, had to stop temporarily under the edict of Dong Zhuo Fenggong. And regardless of the heroic and loyal ministers who fled from doubts and were forced to leave Luoyang, after accepting Dong Zhuo's appointment, they also let go of their imminent ambitions and quieted down. After Dong Zhuo worshiped Xiangguo, his power in Luoyang City and Weiyang Palace was like the sky, and no one dared to touch his tiger whiskers.

"Driving..."In Luoyang City, the streets where riding was originally prohibited have been full of Xiliang Iron riding everywhere in recent days. At first, the people thought that there was a military emergency report from the Han Court, but later they learned that it was Dong Zhuo's closest Xiliang Tieqi who was doing evil in Luoyang City. After the sound of the horse, the people of Luoyang heard the woman's screams again.

"Woooooo Shameless! The woman who was casually pressed on horseback by the Xiliang soldiers was separated and struggling, and she also knew that if she was brought into the Xiliang barracks, her innocence would be ruined.

"Hahaha, lady, don't struggle!" The soldier on horseback laughed with a lewd face (forbidden word, can't be typed): "Later, my brother will take the lady to live a good life!" "Xiliang Iron Cavalry is extremely fast, and before the people can see the appearance of the soldiers and the people's daughters, they disappear in front of everyone. Not long after the woman's fart left, he followed the old man and shouted miserably: "Whore, let go of my granddaughter, let go of my granddaughter!" However, the old man was too old, and chased a few steps in the direction where Xiliang Tieqi was leaving, and then stopped panting.

The old man who stopped, staring blankly ahead, squatted on the ground suddenly, and cried: "My poor granddaughter, I just got married this year!" Woo..."

"Uncle, go and report to the official!" The people on the side reminded.

"What's the use of reporting to the police? Xiliang soldiers are the soldiers of Xiangguo, who can manage it! The old man cried out, "God, save my granddaughter!" ”

When the people on the side heard the word Xiangguo, their faces were frightened, and they no longer dared to say more, so they had to look at the old man with pity, sighed and left, leaving the old man to cry alone.

Not only robbed beauties, but in the past few days, Dong Zhuo's subordinates have burned, killed, and plundered, not to mention ordinary people, even ordinary families have not been spared. However, at this time, Dong Zhuo was already immersed in the harem that made people linger, and he didn't care about such a situation.

The slight changes in Luoyang City did not make too many people care, but many ministers began to worry. Originally, if Dong Zhuo was a little different from his former relatives and could assist His Majesty in revitalizing the Han Dynasty, even if Dong Zhuo temporarily monopolized power, the ministers loyal to the Han Dynasty in the DPRK could turn a blind eye to some things. But in the past few days, Dong Zhuo's performance has worried many ministers.

Whether the changes in Luoyang City are reversible or not, no one knows. But the title of 'Zhenguo Gong' around Xiang Ao's head made Xiang Ao feel deep pressure.

A few days ago, Xi Zhong had to analyze this matter a little, but the results of the analysis made Xiang Ao and others at a loss. In the past few days, many political affairs in the Northern Regions have been delayed a lot, and every time they talk about it, they return to the matter of Xiang Ao Fenggong.

"My lord, Zhao suggests that we talk about the matter of sealing the prince clearly before talking about anything else!" Hu Zhao was also helpless, most of the political affairs in the past could be concluded after he discussed them with Xiang Ao. But the trouble of sealing the public, not to mention the two of them, even if they add Xi Zhong, Xu Shu and others, they can't sort out many political affairs in the Northern Regions. It's not that the talent is not enough, it's that the mind is completely unfocused.

Xiang Ao put down the documents submitted from all over the place, and also sighed and shook his head.

"I had some thoughts yesterday, I don't know if it's right or wrong!" Xu Shu seemed to be much more relaxed today than a few days ago, and everyone saw this and also came to their minds.

"I heard that there are no well-known celebrities under Dong Zhuo's command, so I have to be assisted by a doctor from the DPRK in the past, named Li Ru!" Xu Shu said: "This person was born in poverty, and he was looked down upon by the officials of the family as an official in the court, so he was extremely resentful of the family. However, this person is very intelligent, and his heart is even more ruthless. I expected that since Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, many strategies should have been made by this person. For example, the recent edict that rewarded the world. ”

"On that day, Dong Zhuo worshiped the prime minister and discussed the same matter with the lord and the lord, coupled with the news fed back by the DPRK and the central government, it was expected that Dong Zhuo was just taking advantage of Yuan's resistance to the lord to magnify the matter of the lord and the lord to force the ministers of the DPRK to recognize his position as the prime minister." Xu Shu said with great confidence: "As for what the lord is worried about, maybe it's just our imagination!" ”

Xu Shu said, and everyone in the hall suddenly realized. In fact, it's not that Xu Shu is smarter than Xiang Ao, Xi Zhong and others, it's just that Xu Shu and Jia Xu have a little connection, and the Tao here must be better understood than Xiang Ao and others.

"Even if Yuan Zhi's guess is correct, Zhao is worried that the speaker is unintentional, and the listener is intentional!" Even so, Hu Zhao still reminded everyone worriedly.

Xiang Ao pondered for a moment and said: "What Kong Ming said is not unreasonable, we have to guard against it!" Xiang Ao picked up the detailed report that was sent back last night with 800 urgently: "Dong Zhuo's actions since today have shown his true nature, not only conniving at the soldiers to rob the people and families, but also having bad intentions towards the first emperor's harem!" ”

Hearing this, Xi Zhong and others circulated the intelligence books handed out by Xiang Ao one by one.

"Lord!" Gao Shun, who had never said much, stood up: "People in the world don't know the relationship between the lord and Dong Zhuo, if Dong Zhuo is in trouble in the government and the opposition, it will definitely affect the reputation of the lord, and please make a clear statement to show that the posture is!" ”

Xiang Ao glanced at Gao Shun in a slightly surprised way, but he didn't expect Gao Shun, who was usually not good at speaking. Xiang Ao nodded and said, "Yes!" I have not refused to seal the public, if I no longer show my posture at this time, I am afraid that I will become the enemy of the world! ”

"Kong Ming, immediately play the imperial court and impeach Dong Zhuo!"

"Lord, at this time, I am afraid that I will have a bad relationship with Dong Zhuo, I'm afraid..." Seeing that Xiang Ao was so resolute, Xu Shu was a little worried. Compared with Hu Zhao's loyalty to the Han family, Xu Shu attached more importance to the development of Xiang Ao's forces. Moreover, Xu Shu knew what Jia Xu did in Luoyang, and knew that the world would be in chaos, and he considered more about the interests of Xiang Ao's forces.

Hu Zhao heard the words on the side, and the eyebrows were a little unnatural, and Xu Shu's words seemed to mean something else.

"It's okay!" Xiang Ao didn't feel anything wrong and said: "I, Xiang Ao, am an important minister of the first emperor and an ambassador of the frontier, if I can't come forward at this time and impeach Dong Zhuo, I'm afraid I will lose people's hearts!" ”

When Xu Shu heard this, he also felt so. Besides, impeaching Dong Zhuo is not necessarily a bad thing, after all, Xu Shu also understands that in troubled times, people's hearts are important.

Compared with the worries of Xiang Ao and the others, the people of the Northern Regions were overjoyed.

"Jun Hou is a duke, Jun is waiting for a duke!" In Wuyuan City, many children are running and playing on the street, but their mouths are shouting about the happy events of Xiang Ao Fenggong.

Even though the news of the closure has arrived in Wuyuan for a few days, there are still many people gathered in the vast school field in the center of Wuyuan City.

"Haha... Jun Hou's benevolence and virtue have finally been recognized by the imperial court! The old decay lives up to this life, and he can see the king waiting for the title! “

"Old Wu, why are you so confused today? It's a loss that Wu Lao is still the master of the Mansion Academy! On the side, Wu Lao's colleagues despised my old man, but this person did not teach knowledge such as the Four Books and Five Classics, but carpentry.

"What does Old Zhang mean?" Wu Lao was a little displeased and said: "Although the old man is old, he is not confused!" ”

"Engong has been named 'Zhenguo Gong' by the imperial court, and we need to call Engong Xiang!" Although they are both masters of the government school, the hundreds of years of class rule of Han court Confucianism 'Shinong and industrial and commercial' make Zhang Lao still feel inferior to Wu Lao on weekdays. Today, he can 'teach a lesson' to Wu Lao, and Zhang Lao is extremely complacent.

"Uh..." When Wu Lao heard this, he suddenly said with a little shame: "Old and confused, old and confused!" ”

In the Northern Regions before, most people still called Xiang Ao Junhou, but many people who used to only know a little manual work and those who were rescued by the Northern Regions called Xiang Ao as a benevolent duke, no matter what official position Xiang Ao was, whether he was a marquis or not, in their hearts, Xiang Ao was their savior. Coupled with the deliberate guidance of Hu Zhao and others, most of the achievements in the Northern Regions were blamed on Dao Xiang Ao, which made the people more and more grateful to Xiang Ao.

Not only Wuyuan, but also most of the people in Shuofang, Yunzhong, Yanmen, Daijun and other places are like this. As for the other states and counties that were incorporated into Xiang Ao's rule not long ago, the way of governance has not changed much, and the local people cannot understand why the people of the Northern Regions respected Xiang Ao so much in the past. Under Xiang Ao's deliberate dilution, there are very few ethnic distinctions between Han, Xiongnu, and Xianbei in the counties in the Northern Regions.

Although there is still a hierarchy between people, there is only one criterion for distinguishing them, and that is the degree of contribution to the Northern Regions. Now the hierarchy of the people in the Northern Regions has matured, and under the rule of Xiang Ao, the people's lives have become better and better, and the people have very much agreement with such a system. Many people with extraordinary achievements wear medals issued by the General's Office on their chests every day that can indicate the merit level of the people.

Although the state can be fully recovered for the time being, there are now half of the upper counties, Xihe counties, and all the counties of Dingxiang and Yanmen under the rule of Xiang Ao. Although the population change is not too large, it is only about 200,000. However, the expansion of the territory has enriched the Northern Regions a lot. Besides, today's Northern Regions don't have too many advantages, just a lot of money and a lot of people!

When Emperor Ling was alive, the hundreds of thousands of people who migrated to the northern regions had already settled down, and together with the nomadic herds such as the Southern Xiongnu and Xianbei who had subdued them, it was now nearly three million under Xiang Ao's rule. Although it is not as large as the population of Nanyang County in Jingzhou, and there is no need to go to Jizhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou and other rich places, there must be a lot more in Youzhou, Yangzhou and other places today, and even the population of the subordinate places is not as much as that in the northern region.

After several years of operation, the Northern Regions have become more and more prosperous. Even if millions of people in the Northern Regions stopped farming, the annual agricultural output of the Hetao Plain alone could feed the huge population of the Northern Regions for more than a year. What's more, with the strong support of Xiang Ao, the cultivated land in the northern region has radiated to the Yunzhong area. Moreover, after the Daijun is merged into the Northern Regions, it is also possible to open up wasteland treasures.
