Chapter 563: Listen to me

The nomadic tribes in the north of Yanshan mostly regard the Central Plains as orthodox, but in fact they are not obedient, the purpose of the minister is to reap the benefits, and if there is no benefit, they will turn their faces, even during the period of the ministers, they should still rob them, which is called traditional customs;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;. To see the latest chapter of the book, please go here

The countermeasure of the Central Plains Imperial Court was to set up a county in the prefecture, with the tribal leader as the assassin and an empty name to entrap him. In addition to one name, these fetters are actually small kingdoms, and the authority of the dynasty cannot be deepened.

However, this move was not without benefits to the Central Plains Imperial Court, because of the establishment of the Detention Prefecture, the Central Plains Dynasty could have a deeper understanding of these grassland tribes, and exert influence through political and economic means to restrain their violence and minimize the damage.

After the defeat of the Khitan, Li Chun followed the advice of the prime minister Li Jiang and set up three governors in the north of Yanshan, Yanbei, Dongsheng, and Yunxi to govern their land.

The Youzhou Jiedu envoy concurrently served as the governor of Yanbei Prefecture, the Hedong Jiedu envoy concurrently served as the governor of Yunxi Prefecture, and the Yingping Observation Envoy concurrently served as the governor of Dongsheng Prefecture.

In order to appease the commander of the three towns, he added Captain Li Mao and Luo Kete Jin, and the rewards were rich, and the generals of each army also had rewards.

Li Mao had no intention of competing with the imperial court for the three places, but he could not be busy in vain, he took advantage of the chaos at the beginning of the establishment of the three major prefectures, and used his power to maximize the fruits of the war.

According to the Khitan custom of treating the defeated, he punished men as slaves, conscripted the strong into the army, women and children as rewards to meritorious soldiers, and Khitan nobles were all executed.

The Khitans have no opinion on this, they have been doing this for thousands of years, the winner is king, and the loser is slave. The golden family that used to be high above is now a slave, although their hearts are also a little unwilling, but the general trend is so far, they have no choice but to bow down and accept their fate.

However, some people in the court and China were not accustomed to Li Mao's actions, and the young imperial historians of the Imperial Historical Observatory were excited, and they swarmed up to attack Li Mao's brutality and Li Mao's arbitrariness. net

The Huaixi War reached the most critical moment, Li Chun tried his best to avoid extraneous branches, and was very disgusted by the noise of the imperial historians.

This time it scratched the itch of the Qingliu Shilin in the capital, everyone was very excited, jumped up one after another, ran and shouted, crying for the degraded imperial history, and the degraded imperial history was regarded as loyal and courageous, worried about the country and the people, not afraid of power, but was suppressed by the power, and called the evil behavior of the powerful to suppress the Qingliu "Yanshan Prison", and the spearhead was directed at Yanshuai Li Mao.

Chen Muyang knew the danger of this matter, and once it got out of control, it would be very unfavorable to Li Mao, so he secretly bought the head of Shilin, Niu Monk and Child, hoping that the big thing would be small and the small thing would be turned into a small matter, but he didn't want Niu Monk and Child to take Chen Muyang's money in one hand, and turn around and sell him out.

Chen Muyang became a rat crossing the street, besieged by the children of Shilin, and did not even dare to enter the gate of the theater.

Li Mao got the news in Youzhou, but he laughed.

After this battle, the Khitan forces that had been rampant in the grasslands for many years and threatened the borders of Liaodong, Youzhou, Hedong, Zhenwu and other towns completely disappeared, and the remnants migrated to the north, and they no longer dared to go south to graze horses.

With this credit, a few clamours from Qingliu's disciples couldn't move him.

He is not afraid of the clamor of the children of Qingliu, but he is afraid of the words "high merit and shock the master", the Huaixi war presided over by the emperor himself is indecisive, he uses troops to build this feat, but where is the face of the Son of Heaven, if it is used by someone with a heart, there is no place to escape.

In order to protect himself, he can only spend some money to encourage the imperial historians of the Imperial History Observatory to pour some dirty water on him, and the more embarrassed he is, the more relieved he is.

For the courtiers, those who are loyal ministers, and they are helpless to end up like this.

Before the matter in Beijing was over, Caizhou suddenly came with earth-shattering good news, Li Mao vigorously protected the Tang Deng Jiedu so that Li Yuxue attacked Caizhou City at night, captured Wu Yuanji alive, the Huaixi Rebellion subsided, and the strong feudal domain that had been cut off for 50 years returned to the imperial court, and Yuan and Zhongxing took a key step.

And he himself also has a happy event, Xu Ru promised to divorce Tian Qi, the Son of Heaven cherished the old minister I worked hard for the country, and the children were lonely after his death.

As soon as the canonization envoy arrived in Youzhou, Li Mao immediately sent people to Yingzhou to summon Tian Qian back.

There is a medicinal herb shop on the back street of Yingzhou Thorn Mansion, a time-honored brand for decades, after changing the owner years ago, the business plummeted, hanging half-dead, the platform shopkeeper is surnamed Jia, known as Jia Ba. People are a kind person, smiling all day long, but the business is average, the old customers do not hold on, the new customers do not admit the account, and the business is cold.

On this day, Jia Ba received a letter from his brother-in-law in Youzhou, and hurriedly returned to the back house to dedicate it to his wife, who was in her twenties, with a long and jade body, a beautiful face, and a strong light in her eyes.

Jia Babi respectfully handed the letter to his wife, turned around and was about to leave.

But his wife stopped him, approved a few words on a manifest, and handed it to him: "Tell them that although we are not serious businessmen, we don't make money by this, but since we have played this guise, we have to maintain it, and we have lost thousands of yuan in less than a year, so how can I explain to you to tell them that if they run the business well with snacks, after deducting the cost, I will not take any of the surplus, and it will be at your disposal, which is also a good welfare." Where to go, you have figured it out and then come back to me. You're good to go. ”

Jia Ba read those words and asked: "Is the authorization too heavy, the monkey cubs will make a mess if they remove the cage." ”

The woman said: "The dignified state manager, there are dozens of people under him, how can he have no power in his hands, everything will be reported to me for layoff, whether he is the manager or I do it"

The steward didn't dare to say any more, his lady has always been the same and very strong.

The woman breathed a sigh of relief and said to him, "I'm going back to Youzhou for a few days, and you can act as your agent for the affairs here." Let it go, and I'll take care of everything that happens. ”

Jia Ba withdrew, his lady brought a letter from Youzhou into the courtyard, stopped in front of a quiet courtyard, coughed, and then began to knock on the door, three hurried and three slow, coughed again, someone inside opened the door, it was a sturdy woman, born dumb.

Jia Ba Niangzi took a piece of candied fruit from her sleeve, put it in her hand, squatted dumb and bent her neck and opened her mouth to pick it up, fed one and fed another, and fed three in a row, Jia Ba Niangzi laughed and walked to the main room of the small courtyard, this room is naturally dark, even if it is lit during the day, it is even cold, and it is just in the autumn on the brazier.

Tian Qian sat facing west, writing at the desk, looking focused.

Jia Ba Niangzi didn't dare to disturb, stood and waited quietly, for a while Tian Qian stopped her pen, read the written letter carefully, put it into a thick confidential envelope, took the fire paint and roasted it on the fire, did not raise her head, only said lightly: "The letter is urgent, I will leave after dealing with the matter at hand, and you will go back with me." ”

"With this title, you have no reason to avoid him anymore, mountain people, mountain people, I didn't think you would have today."

Tian Qian sealed the seal with fire paint, pressed his own seal, and said lightly: "It's not surprising that a man should marry a woman when he marries." No matter how strong a woman is, she is still a woman, and she still has to marry sooner or later. It's you, what should you do, go over to me as a companion, or marry Qin Mo. ”

Qingmo said: "He, doesn't he have a wife?"

Tian Qian said: "Mrs. Qi and Alan still have to keep filial piety, you can take the lead." ”

Qingmo knelt in front of Tian Qian and said, "I chose you to be your companion, but I'm afraid you won't want to." ”

Tian Qian pressed the letter, changed to a more comfortable posture, and said: "What is this willing, is it for the love of men and women that I marry him, you are willing." ”

Qingmo glanced at the envelope, asked a question, picked up a pen and wrote a person's name on the envelope, went out and handed it to the mute, and told her to send it out immediately, and the mute took the order.

Qingmo closed the door, turned around and said: "Actually, I don't feel wronged by being a concubine for him, just thinking about our sisters falling into his hands together, I feel uncomfortable, if one day he comes up crazy and wants the two of us to serve together, then how can I stand it, I can't accept it anyway." ”

Tian Qian said: "You can't help but think too much, he is not that kind of person." ”

Qingmo said: "Knowing people, knowing faces, but not hearts, Qin Mo also looks like a person, as soon as he arrives in front of a woman, he is not as good as a beast, people are divided into groups and things are gathered by like, you can imagine what kind of person he is." ”

Tian Qian said with a smile: "They come from humble backgrounds, and they can have today, they have suffered much more than ordinary people, and people always need a place to solve the suffering, or kill innocents indiscriminately, or become addicted to gambling, or like Qin Mo." Raising your head to ask for life, there is today and tomorrow, and it is inevitable that there will be something out of line. Now that they have made a name for themselves, they will slowly change. Qin Mo, you believe me, his nature is not bad, the prodigal son does not change his money, I think he is almost wasted. ”

Qingmo bit his lip and said, "Unless he breaks off those two women, I will never agree." ”

Tian Qian said: "Yes, if you believe me, it will be." ”
