On November 16, King Oghuz Khan Kaya and Huathornzim Baba Khan arrived in Xinjing to meet Zhao Ziliang, who received them at the Wangcheng Hot Spring Palace. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The two were led naked by the eunuchs to the hot spring pool of the Hot Spring Palace, and being naked in front of outsiders made Kaya and Iba Khan very unaccustomed.

"Meet the King!"

Zhao Ziliang, who was sitting in the hot spring pool, raised his hand and greeted: "Come on, come on, although Oghuz and Hua Thorn Zimo are not short of water, it is not easy to take a hot spring, let's wash together, and talk to you about something by the way."

Zhao Ziliang's incomparably strong body made both Baba Khan and Kaya a little ashamed, "Yes, King!" The two bowed their heads and agreed, and lightly went down to the hot spring pool, the temperature of the pool water was just right, a little hot, but they could bear it, and it was this temperature that made it the most comfortable.

After the two of them entered the pool and let go, Zhao Ziliang asked: "This king asked you to notify you to come over to discuss matters, it's only been half a month, why did you come so quickly?" ”

The two said: "The king beckoned, there must be something important, I naturally didn't dare to delay, and rushed over day and night!" ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded with satisfaction and said, "It is indeed an important matter to come to you this time, and it is a major matter for Guanxi Qin, Oghuz and Flower Thorn Zimo. You all know that the northern Silk Road has to pass through Oghuz and Huathornzim, and now the roads in the territory of the West Qinmengchi Duhufu have all been built into cement roads, you have been back and forth many times, you should know how important this road is for business travelers, it can make business travelers rush quickly, even if it is windy, rainy, snowy, business travelers can still pass quickly without muddy, over the years, more and more business travelers on this Silk Road are because this road has been built, but there is no road in the territory of Oghuz and Huathornzimo, Now we have begun to build roads in the Aykdu Protectorate, if the Aykdu Protectorate and the Khazar Protectorate road are completed, there is no decent road in the entire northern Silk Road, only Oghuz and Khwarazm, which is not a good reputation among the outside merchants, and the world still thinks that Oghuz and Khaeuzm are too poor to have money to build roads! The two of you, as the kings of the two khans, will also be looked down upon!"

But anyone in a high position is a person who loves face, I Ba Khan and Kaya don't want to be laughed at, Kaya hugged his fists and said: "King, Xiao Khan wants to build roads, it doesn't matter if you get some money, but no one in Xiao Khan's country can build it, and he can't build such a good road as in Western Qin!" ”

Alba Khan also said: "Yes, how about asking the king to send someone to build roads for our two countries, and we will pay for it?" ”

Zhao Ziliang said; "It's okay to ask this king to build roads for your two countries, but Xiqin doesn't want money! If, after the road is completed, a card is set up in the territory of your two countries to collect business tax from business travel, and you and I will each have half of the tax? ”

Alba Khan was a little reluctant, and said: "The king's abacus is too loud, the road is built in our country, and we pay for it, and the king only contributes some manpower, how can he take half of the commercial tax?" That's too much, right? How about 30%? ”

Zhao Ziliang looked at Kaya, and asked, "Kayahan, what do you say?" ”

Kaya scratched his furry face and said: "If the king doesn't send people to build roads for us, we won't be able to build such good roads ourselves, and the king not only has manpower, but also the skills to build roads, which no other country has, and although taking away half of the commercial tax is a little more, it is also reasonable!" Khan agreed, but Khan had a reluctant request and asked the king to agree."

"You say!"

Khaya said: "The little Khan wants to build a royal palace, and he wants to ask the king to send someone to help!" ”

Zhao Ziliang smiled: "This is easy to say, as long as you pay for it!" Then the matter is settled! My dad Khan, what about you? ”

Seeing that Kaya Khan agreed, Baba Khan also said, "Okay, but the little Khan also wants to build a palace, please ask the king to send someone to help."

"No problem!"

The next detailed road construction plan was discussed by the Government Council with Kaya Khan and Nga Khan, and the construction began after the two sides communicated with each other.

Xiqin encourages industry and commerce, persuades agriculture, builds water conservancy, vigorously plants trees, and controls sandstorms, the results of this year are quite significant, there are more and more business travelers between the east and the west, most of these business travelers like to stay in Xiqin, if they are not in a hurry, they like to stay for a few more days, just because the public security here is good, the business atmosphere is strong, the types and quantities of goods are also extremely rich, many businessmen from various countries like to buy houses and other industries in Xiqin, which greatly stimulates the economy of Xiqin, and makes Xiqin's tax revenue double geometrically every year.

The economic situation was good, which undoubtedly increased employment opportunities, and even so, craftsmen and other workers in Western Qin could not satisfy the growing demand of industry and commerce as long as they were not lazy. During this time, a large number of people from the Central Plains migrated over and filled this demand in a very short period of time.

From the second half of the first year of Baoying to the second year of Baoying, a large number of people from the Central Plains continued to migrate to various parts of Western Qin, which increased the resettlement pressure on the government of Western Qin, but at the same time, these Western Qin people were arranged to areas with thin Han people after migrating over, which greatly strengthened the rule of the Western Qin royal court over various places.

On the eighth day of March in the second year of Baoying, Zhao Ziliang convened the ministers to ask about politics.

"Liu Qing, how is the resettlement of immigrants from the Central Plains?"

Liu Wei stood up and replied: "Back to the king, in the past five months, the people of Western Qin have resettled more than 5,677,200 people, a total of more than 1,63,400 households. At present, the relocation of the people in the Central Plains is still going on, and according to the current migration situation, I am afraid that by the end of this year, there will be about 3 million people who will migrate over! ”

"Well, the resettlement of the immigrants has been carried out well, and the relevant responsible officials deserve to be commended! The migration will not go on forever, and the Central Plains will not let the people move over endlessly, and at a certain time, when the Central Plains court feels that the fields are short of people to cultivate, it will naturally order the government to prohibit the people from moving again! You must also worry that the resettlement of immigrants will continue! ”

Liu Wei arched his hand and said, "Yes!" ”

Dugu Jun, the chief supervisor of the Judicial Temple, stood up and presented the recital and said: "King Qiyu, after nearly half a year of revision, the legal provisions on determining the heir to the throne by law have been completed after careful consideration and many revisions, and we have revised it on the basis of the "Tang Law", removed some extremely cruel punishments, and refined many criminal punishment regulations, and the general revision of the situation Weichen has been written into a transcript, and there is also a newly revised "Western Qin Law", please take a look!" ”

A eunuch came over and took away the transcript and the revised version of the "Western Qin Law" and presented it to Zhao Ziliang, who took it and put it on the imperial case, and said, "Okay, this king will take a look and talk about it!" ”

After Zhao Ziliang finished speaking, Jinyi Wei commanded Huang Fuxian to stand up and arch his hand: "King, Weichen has something to do!" ”

According to the establishment, Jinyiwei should command one envoy and two deputy envoys, command and manage the overall situation, be in charge of the northern ya, and be in charge of the investigation, arrest and interrogation; The left envoy is in charge of the Nanya, in charge of the prison and the special armed forces; The right envoy was in charge of the internal guard and was in charge of the counter-espionage affairs in the Western Qin.

Now the position of Jinyi Wei commander is temporarily vacant, Huang Fuxian was originally the left envoy in charge of the South Ya, but recently Zhao Ziliang appointed Zhou Shan as the left envoy of the Jinyi Guard, in charge of the South Ya, Zhou Shan turned out to be the old man who followed Zhao Ziliang, and has been serving in the Broken Leaf Governor's Mansion, after Zhao Ziliang presided over the affairs of the North Court, he was transferred to the North Court to assist Gong Ren in charge of military discipline. Huang Fuxian was promoted to acting commander, which was not an official position, but a transitional position, and he was temporarily in charge of the overall affairs of Jinyiwei.

Zhao Ziliang raised his hand and said, "Accurate!" ”

"My lord, someone recently reported in his real name that Liu Cong, the son of Prime Minister Liu Xiang, used his father's authority to buy and sell officials and sell military titles under the banner of his father. Because the identity of the reported person is too high, and the matter may involve Liu Xiang, if it is an anonymous report, Wechen does not dare to file a case for investigation, after all, this is related to the reputation of a country's important ministers, but this matter is a real-name report, and there are a number of evidence, for the West Qin Jiangshan Society, Wechen did not dare to slack off, and immediately arranged for people to conduct a secret investigation, which not only confirmed that several pieces of evidence of the whistleblower were true, but also found that Liu Cong's other criminal behaviors, such as robbing people's daughters, bullying and dominating the market, and secretly instructing family thugs to kill three people and injure five people! This is a detailed investigation record, please look at it, because the identity of the person under investigation is quite high, Wechen has not yet ordered him to be formally arrested for interrogation."

After Huang Fuxian's words came out, more than a dozen important ministers in the hall changed their faces, this can be said to be the first major case since the founding of the country, and the person involved is the son of the prime minister, the younger brother of the crown princess, and the future uncle of the country!

According to the practice of the court meeting, before the king convenes the ministers to ask questions or discuss military and political affairs, if the minister has an important suggestion or important matter to report, he must communicate with the king separately in advance, so that the king has a psychological preparation, if the king thinks it is feasible, then in the subsequent court meeting, the minister will put it forward, but if the king thinks that the proposal is too abrupt, inappropriate, and not allowed to be mentioned, then the minister cannot put forward it in public at the subsequent court meeting!

Although it is a common practice, there is no explicit provision for this, so there are also ministers who will not follow the rules, especially when the political struggle is at its most intense, some ministers do not communicate with the king in advance in order to achieve the purpose of a surprise attack, and directly propose it in public at the court meeting, making it clear that they want to hit the other party by surprise, and at the same time force the king to deal with it in public.

The ministers don't know whether Huang Fuxian reported this matter to Zhao Ziliang in advance, but this matter was raised in public, so Zhao Ziliang must express his position here in public How to deal with it, because if the evidence is conclusive, it will obviously be suspected of favoritism if you want to postpone and postpone the decision.

Not only did the faces of all the ministers change, but Prime Minister Liu Wei's face changed greatly, he didn't know that there was such a thing, Huang Fuxian suddenly came to such a hand, making him chaotic and ownerless.

Zhao Ziliang was also caught off guard by Huang Fuxian, this matter is too big, the matter involves the prime minister, and he is now riding a tiger, so he has to ask the eunuch on duty to bring the investigation records.
