The purple gas rises in the Longqing Hall of Shuozhou City, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military Confucianism is dressed in cranes, and the crown is broad, and the majestic and lofty dynastic atmosphere is vividly displayed, sitting on the dragon chair in the hall is the new lord of the sixteen cities of Shuofang, I saw him clear his throat arrogantly, and said: "The Son of Heaven Huaide, Shuo Fang was initially decided, I Huang is really not the master, but the ministers admonished, the people advised, the mandate of heaven is located, it is difficult to disobey, so he boldly obeys the will of the people, casts a golden tripod, holds the king's flag, protects the people of this side, and works with the Qing to seek new governance." ”

As soon as the words fell, the chief of the chamberlain approached and preached: "Wang Yu said, the founding of the Great Qi, change Shuozhou City to Qingyun City, set the capital Qingyun, and restore the Han system. With the eldest son of the Tiger Camp commander Chen Tong garrison Xishan, Gong Wei Beijing Division, the second son of the pioneer general Ji Bulin Dynasty Wang commanded the three armies, and also governed the Yiding Turquoise Cavalry Division, Xiao Cavalry Battalion Commander Yao Yi Wu Fengyong a battle, unfortunately martyred, read its loyalty and bravery, especially chased the founding father, Shenwu General, Yin attack descendants, its Xiao Cavalry Battalion by the third son of the hussar general Yan Qing, the fourth son of the general Bailong took over, garrisoned the Beijing Division, the fifth son of the Long Xiang General Ma Yuanye governed the guards of the army, day and night armed with the king left and right, there must be no mistake, the six sons of the leader Pang Qing stationed in Fengyong, Pang Liang, the protector of the Seven Sons, stationed in Qipan, and Pei Guangyi, the general of the Eight Sons of the Divine Figure, quickly set up the Shenji Battalion, recruited Dao Fa and Immortal Disciples, and thought that the future of the country was planned. ”

When the crowd heard the edict read, they immediately bowed down and gladly received the seal.

The pioneer general Ji Bulin took out a piece of music from his body, and stepped forward and said: "Father is benevolent, according to the people, but when the initial decision is made today, the national strength is still shallow, and more than ten cities in the north are still secretly communicating with Wuhu, which makes people's hearts unstable and the national foundation is difficult to determine. ”

Huang Xi, the female general of the Shendu Heavenly Book, said: "The second brother is reasonable, but there is a way, and it doesn't cost a single soldier to break this chaos." ”

"My son is clever, Bing Xue is smart, and I will rely on you and Kong Qi to govern the country in the future, if there is a judgment, it doesn't hurt to talk about it." Huang Qi said.

Xi'er said: "I thought that the kingdom was originally decided, there should be a new atmosphere, on the third day of the first month of last month, Er Yan invited a monk from the Western Regions, let him deduce the rise and fall of Wang Zuo of my Great Qi, the monk did not dare to slack off, standing on the top of the Red Dragon Mountain in the north of the city to carefully look down on the geography of the mountains and rivers, the appearance of the city, and then sighed badly, the original Qingyun City was built in the gentle slope of the Chilong Mountain Ridge, in the words of the monk, it is the city that suppressed the dragon tail of the Red Dragon Mountain, so that it could not move, it was difficult to make the momentum of the dragon, but it was bitter to hurt each other with the city, and the king's spirit was difficult to survive, Therefore, since the day the city was built, it has been plagued by internal and external troubles, and has changed hands several times, and if it is based on this, it will not last long. ”

"Oh! What the monk said may be true, I checked the historical books here, in the past few decades, there have indeed been seven or eight rebellions, I don't know if the monk can crack it! Huang Qi said with a faint frown.

Xi'er continued: "The monk sat on the top of the red dragon mountain for three days and three nights, meditating day and night, thinking hard, really couldn't find a way to crack it, so in the early morning of the fourth day to go down the mountain, halfway through, suddenly encountered a sweet spring in the mountains, the monk drank a sip, suddenly felt refreshed, and saw that the spring was on the big stone in the mountain stream, so along the stone body to search up, but found a cliff stone carving on the cliff, on the Western Regions Hu script wrote the city to open the dragon four big characters, the monk traveled all over the Western Regions 36 countries, naturally understood, And this meaning carefully pondered, suddenly ecstatic, one by one, to the child said, if Wang Zuo for a long time, must expand the city, should be the southeast and west sides of the city three sides of the thirty miles each re-build the city wall, the current Qingyun City is included, and the Red Dragon Mountain Range is used as the north wall of Qingyun, in this way, the city is open and the dragon rises, and the father and king are just around the corner to achieve hegemony. ”

As soon as the words fell, Huang Zhuo echoed: "My sister is right, but according to Er's opinion, Qingyun City is an important stronghold leading to the Western Regions, connecting the Central Plains and the Western Regions for decades. ”

Huang Qi smiled and said: "Zhuo'er is so young, but she knows the way of economy, which is really rare, but if this city is built like this, how can I survive so many years." ”

Xi'er said: "Father doesn't need to worry too much, this is also my strategy, the second brother just said that more than ten cities in the north of Qi have a secret communication with the Hu people, as soon as this city is built, I will requisition 100,000 people in the north of the Qi country, and the city will be completed within one year. ”

Kong Qi said unhappily: "Although the generals are reasonable, but the people are the foundation of the country, and the foundation of the country is not stable, so they requisitioned 100,000 people to build a new city, in my opinion, it is really inappropriate." ”

Huang Qi said: "If the city of Longsheng can really be exchanged for a long time of national fortune, I would rather be tired of the people for a while, and not ignore the Great Qi Guozuo, only covet the peace in front of me, and have made up my mind, and I will crown the righteous daughter Huang Xi as the Grand Sikong of Qi State, and from now on, I will be fully responsible for the expansion of Qingyun City, and levy 100,000 people, and complete it within a year, there must be no mistake." ”

Xi'er gladly received the royal order and slowly retreated.

On the second day, the sons set up wine outside the south gate, which should be practiced for the eldest brother Chen Tong, the sixth son Pang Qing, the seventh son Pang Liang and the ninth son Huang Zhuo. All the generals gathered at the imperial wine table, Chen Tong said: "Today's farewell, I don't know when we can meet, as a big brother, I can't take care of your brothers, and I ask you to take care of it, do your filial piety, and live up to my father's hard work for us." Then he drank three bottles of the wine, and then he said goodbye.

Ji Bulin and his brothers were reluctant, and they saluted the royal wine one after another, but they drank twenty or thirty bowls in a row, and they were a little drunk. Everyone helped them on the horse, and they were about to say goodbye in tears, but Ji Bulin stepped forward and insisted on leading the horse for the eldest brother for fifteen miles, so he said goodbye to everyone and hit the horse on the road.

Chen Tong crossed the horse and saw that the second brother had been leading the horse for several miles, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, and persuaded him to go back several times, but Ji Bulin only pushed it back.

Ji Bulin said with a smile: "No matter how close Xishan is, it is also two days away from Qingyun City, I accompany my brother to walk a few more miles, and I will lose a few miles of loneliness, even if I go back now, my heart is still empty, it is better to talk to my brother more." ”

Chen Tong said: "Let a general who commands the three armies lead the horse and fall into the stirrups for me Chen, how can I be useful." ”

"Where did my brother say, I Ji Bulin was originally a savage on the grassland, it is an honor to be able to lead a horse and fall into stirrups for a person like my brother, how dare I make a mistake, my brother is going, it seems that I will not be able to see each other for some time." Gibelin Road.

Chen Tong said: "It seems that this is indeed the case. ”

"I think that among the nine sons and one daughter, I have the most compatible relationship with my brother, although Ji Bulin has some military exploits, but he is a person who does not understand the way of power and strategy, now that the country is initially decided, there will be another bloody storm inside and outside the palace, as soon as my brother leaves, the backbone of the main heart will be gone, I really don't know how to mix in the clouds in the future." Gibrin sighed.

Chen Tong laughed a few times and replied: "It turns out that I really despise you as a savage on the grassland, I didn't expect the second brother to have so many thoughts, I told you the truth, my father asked me to guard the West Mountain, in fact, I have a lot of suspicion of me, and now I should not go into Beijing from time to time, but in my opinion, he is the most important is Yan Qing, Bai Long and Ma Yuanye, although Yan Qing and Bai Long are brave generals, but they are too narrow-minded, and they will be revenged, and there will be an internal fight among the three of them, and they need to wait and see. My father asked you to command the three armies, and I wanted to quickly form a cavalry unit of the Hu people, and my intention was this, and now you are still a neutral party in my father's opinion, so you must keep your neutral position and stay neutral to gain a foothold. ”

Ji Bulin said: "My brother is right, but even if he can maintain a neutral position, palace battles, overt and conspiracy are common, and they will definitely provoke the forces of various factions. ”

Chen Tongdao: "I secretly have another meaning, that is, to establish your own basis as soon as possible, it is better to take the opportunity of your father to let you train the Hu cavalry, and ask your father for an order, explaining that you want to go to more than ten cities in the north to recruit strong men, and use this as an excuse to build more troops in the north, reorganize the army, and install cronies, in fact, control most of the cities in the north, in this way, you can protect the position of Lu if you advance, and there is a base for retreat, isn't it a perfect strategy." ”

Ji Bulin was enlightened, only to say yes, led the horse to send Chen Tong out of fifteen miles in one go, and was reluctant, choked up before returning to Beijing.
