Qihou pestle has always been famous for "good governance of the palace, gathering dogs and horses, luxury, and heavy punishment". Therefore, the main hall of Qi Palace is magnificent, the outer eaves of Zhu Linghe are Shuguang, and the interior is also very gorgeous, there are the winding of the pan and the winding of the cockroach, and the flying beam of the Chengxiong rainbow, which is not known to be many times more gorgeous than Zhao Wuxian's Xiaoyi Temple in Yuncheng.

But since Sima Sui Tho and Yan Ying died one after another, there has been a withered fault line among the talents who filled it, and it is even inferior to the talents gathered in Xilu. Chen Qi is stationed in the west of the river, Bao Mu and Gao Zhangkong are old but knowledgeable, the young Guoxia leads the troops outside all the year round, and the rest are martial artists, and the Liangqiu is a minister, and now the only one who can be called resourceful is Chen Heng, the son of the Chen family.

Chen Heng's suggestion was: "Your Majesty, since the three roads have been blocked, why don't you first open up a new trade route from Xinzheng and Diqiu to Yiyi and Gaotang while recovering them!" ”

"Great river shipping, new trade routes?"

Qi Hou and the princes suddenly lit up.

At this time, the water of the Yellow River is still clear, known as the big river, the river, the poem has a saying: Pan Pi Bai boat, in the middle of the river. From the north bank of the river to the south bank of the river, from antiquity to spring and autumn, it is not too difficult. But long-distance transportation along the river was not possible until the spring and autumn seasons when boat production progressed.

For example, more than 100 years ago, the famous Qin and Jin Dynasty boating battles were long-distance shipping in which the Qin State transported corn to the old Jiang of the Jin Kingdom through Weishui, Dahe and Fenshui.

That is the situation in the middle and upper reaches of the river, the whole process of shipping can not be done, the waterfall of Longmen, and the danger of the pillar of the land, are all the dangers of nine deaths and one life. Even Dayu can't help it. But the downstream is different, the river is wide here. The flow of water has also eased considerably, and there is no such thing as the decay of shipping due to sediment blockage in later generations. Therefore, Chen Heng's idea is very feasible!

Qi Hou thought about it carefully, indeed, after the fall of Yiyi, the Jin people's barrier between Qi and Wei, the great river waterway became unimpeded, and the boats and boats were less sailing before only because it was more convenient to help water and Pushui. Although the products located in the south of Qi had to be transported to Zheng and Wei first, and then eastward into Qi, a large circle in the Central Plains, and a lot of transportation costs were added to it, but it could avoid the looting of thieves and the heavy punitive taxes of Xilu. Why not?

Pestle would rather throw the money into the river to feed the turtles than cheapen the Zhao kid!

"Yes! Just do what Zichang (Chen Heng's words) said! Immediately dispatch boats into the river to Zheng and Wei for transshipment. ”

After solving the big stone pressed in his heart, Qi Hou became confident again: Qi is a great country with a population of two or three million, and Lu and Cao cannot be compared with each other.

"It doesn't matter if the noon road is blocked, and it doesn't matter if the water is restricted. These creatures, though important, are not at stake. The country of Qi is a country of mountains and seas full of mountains, forests and lakes, and even if the whole territory is cut off, we can hold out for several years. But Siru is different! ”

With a thud, the sword in his hand was unsheathed.

Salt, there is no salt in Silu. It costs more to buy elsewhere! In Qi Hou's imagination, wait until the salt hoarded in the treasury is used up. The price of salt in Cao and Lu will soar, and it will be impossible for them to hold out for three months!

Until this time. Qi Hou and Chen Heng still didn't know Zigong's plan to buy salt and the method of "porcelain introduction".

At the same time as the privateering order was issued, Zhao Wuxian sent three salt-producing areas of Anyi, Juguo, and Huaihai to seek trade, and the messengers who spread the news also arrived at their destinations......

……

In the spring of March, the yang energy is flourishing, the young shoots of the millet seedlings of the fist have grown, and the upright buds have also broken through the soil.

And in the Jin Kingdom, the huge shock brought back from the Eastern Kingdom by the Chinese army Zuo Zhao Meng had just stopped.

Again, Wei Ju, who had grown a light beard, sat in the carriage from Xintian to Anyi, and he was sullenly thinking about something.

His "Wei Wushu" has been in the army for a year, and this brigade of "Zhao Wushu", which is completely in the small Sikou of Shanzhai Lu State from selection and training to equipment, participated in the border conflict between the Jin State and the Qin State in the autumn and winter of last year, and made miraculous achievements as the left wing of the Wei division in the battle, beheading dozens and killing more than 100 wounds, but his own losses were only in double digits.

Afterwards, Wei Ju was praised by his father and gave him wine, and he was known as the most outstanding young generation in China except for Zhiyao.

However, just when Wei Ju was rejoicing in his first achievement, he learned in vain that Zhao Wuxian, the deceased of the Zhao family, who had always been regarded as his opponent, actually made one big news after another in the East!

Every time, Wei Ju was shocked.

"What! He lured the enemy deep and defeated the Onozawa thieves? ”

"What! He is the head of the Doctor League, the head of Xilu? ”

"What! He swept through Punan and captured five cities in a row? ”

"What! He assaulted with thousands of horsemen and captured Qi Gongzi Yangsheng? ”

When the last news came, he was speechless and sat down in his seat in a daze, and the confidence he had just built up melted away like a salt flower in water.

"The snow field is rushing, capturing the nine banners of Hou Long, and five thousand Qi people are tied up!"

Wei Ju muttered to himself: "Zhao Zitai's merits can be compared with my great-grandfather Wei Zhuangzi and great-grandfather Wei Xianzi!" ”

From that day on, Wei Ju began to become sullen, and his management and training of "Wei Wushu" were also relaxed, after all, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't surpass Zhao Wuxian.

But as a son, there are too many things to bear, personal, clan, and state, he can't give up on himself, so he still fights his spirit and stays in Xintian to participate in the Chinese Army's Zuo Zhao Ying's return to China.

He wanted to see what kind of people Zhao Bing was who defeated the Qi State with the power of Yiqing.

However, Wei Ju's wish was not fulfilled, because most of the Zhao soldiers were disbanded and returned to their hometowns, and only Zhao Ying returned under the elite escort of the first division, and he had just arrived ten miles outside Xintian City, and he was met with a grand welcome!

……

On that day, Xintian 10,000 people were empty, looking at Zhao Qing on the road, and when the Xuanniao banner with a fiery red edge appeared, all the people of 10,000 households looked sideways.

The old overlord attacked the challenger head-on, and the Jin State won a rare big victory after seventy years after the Battle of Yanling. The doctors of Qi Guoshi lined up at the ceremony of presenting prisoners, the authenticity of the nine banners of Qi Hou Long. There is also Yangsheng, the prince of Qi who was forcibly brought back to the Jin Kingdom......

Everything is enough to make the people of Xintian cheer and drink for several days and nights.

One is said to be nearly 100 years old. After witnessing the Battle of Yanling, the Jin army returned with Chu prisoners, and the old man was in tears.

"Woohoo, I never thought that after mourning the father, I could see the majesty of the hegemon again!"

Even the Marquis of Jin, who had just hugged his son, was intoxicated by the glory of imprisoning the prince of Qi and returning to hegemony.

But all of this is enough to make the rest of the five secretaries have their own thoughts.

The Fan clan and the Zhongxing clan were still dealing with Xianyu Baidi's endless attacks east of Taihang, using this as an excuse not to return to Xintian, but Wei Ju guessed that they probably wanted to avoid Zhao Meng's edge.

With the complete victory of the Zhao-led alignment war, Zhao was in the limelight in the Jin State for a while.

Han is fine. As die-hard loyalists of the Zhao clan, they also provided Zhao soldiers with baggage, ships, and even crossbows that are no longer mysterious, and they are honored in this victory.

Wei Ju also had a smile on his face when he greeted Zhao Ying, but Wei Ju also found that his father was smiling a little reluctantly. And since this day, the contact with the Zhao family has become a little closer, which is the instinct of the weak to move closer to the strong......

Wei Ju was ashamed, but helpless. In the years when his great-grandfather Wei Xianzi was in power, who were the princes fighting for?

He is not the only one who regards this as a great shame, and the most embarrassing person in the Jin Kingdom at this moment is the ruling secretary Zhisong.

"The main secretary is like the second secretary. "......This is a popular nursery rhyme around Xintian recently, and it is sung by young people.

At least on the bright side, in the war against the country. Zhi, who has always adhered to the principle of goodness and never came out, basically did nothing. But the Zhao family threw his head in front and spilled blood for the country. In the end, who is loyal to state affairs, the people of the country do not dare to say. But in nursery rhymes, you can sing your own opinions.

Even if he is heard by the government, he can only laugh, the mouth of the people is more than the defense of Sichuan, who can not get along with a young boy of a few years old!

During the whole drinking ceremony, Zhisong kept smiling, looking quite urban.

But no one knew that for a whole day, Zhizi had been silently reciting Lao Tzu's "The husband is indisputable, so there is no worries." The husband is not fighting, so the world can not fight with it" to endure it.

However, Zhao Ying didn't let the Zhishi stop the meeting, he always came back with a heart of contention, especially like to fight for his son!

The next day, with the power of great merit, Zhao Ying wrote a letter to accuse the Fan family and the Zhongxing family, and turned over the Taoqiu assassination case that was interrupted by the war last year, and added a lot of new content.

In the war in the autumn and winter of last year, the Zhongxing clan lost its division and lost ground, and the reactions of the Fan clan and Handan were unsatisfactory. What's more, Zhao Ying also broke out a big scandal of Fan's and Handan's collusion with the enemy!

The people of Xintian were in an uproar, and Fan Jiji, Zhongxingyin, and Handanwu, who were far east of Taihang, were passive for a while, and they did not dare to enter Xintian to confront each other, but they wrote to ask for guilt, and took the small mistakes, but denied the big crimes.

Public opinion was turbulent, and they all supported Zhao Ying and demanded that the second secretary and the first doctor be punished, and the Marquis of Jin was at a loss for this.

At this point, the Zhishi, who had been sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight in last year's lawsuit, finally couldn't sit still, and the old fox, who had always been unhelpful, actually came forward in person and spoke for Fan and BOC!

……

"The battle of Liangtang, the Chu division won a big victory, the Jin army was defeated, the ancestor Wuzi was captured, the Jin people crossed the river to fight for the boat, and the finger in the boat can be touched. After the return of the Jin army, the Bank of China Huan Zi (Xun Lin's father) asked for death, and the first monarch Jinggong wanted to allow it. From time to time, Shi Zhenzi admonished Chu Zi to kill Ziyu in the Battle of Chengpu, but he stopped and restored his position. Bank of China Huan Zi felt the grace of the ancestors not to kill, three years later he led the division to destroy the Chidi Luzi country, in addition to a major disaster for the Jin country, hundreds of miles wide, won the Di Nu family, the Jin country was strong, twenty years later Yan Ling regained hegemony! ”

The Marquis of Jin was stunned.

Zhiqing continued: "From the perspective of the following ministers, the same is true of today's affairs. Although the state of Qi was defeated slightly, the country was still strong, and Yiyi was unable to recapture it. Fan Bo, Zhongxing Bo, and Handan Doctor are the pillars of the country, how can they ask for their crimes based on one-sided words? Cutting one point, it is two points stronger, and when the time comes, I am afraid that more than Yiyi, Qi Hou will ascend to Taihang again! In the eyes of the old minister, who is not guilty? The mistakes they have committed are like the eclipse of the sun and the moon, and they do not damage the light of the day, so it is better to ignore them for the time being, let them retreat and make up for their mistakes, calm the chaos in Dongyang, and ...... the society to defend the society."

In the end, he also ignored Zhao Ying's angry gaze, and raised his head and said: "As for Tao Qiu's assassination, and even the matter of conniving with the enemy, it is really impossible to prove. ”

After the excitement of the big victory, the Marquis of Jin also calmed down, he was quite balanced, and when the Zhao family was in the limelight, he couldn't wait to use the hands of the rest of the princes to suppress it.

What's more, the threat brought by the Xianyu people has gradually become a big Qi people, and they are trying to restore the rule of the Drum, Fei, and Bai people, and re-establish the great tribal alliance of Baidi. It is said that Xian Yuzi called himself "Gong" in the country, and because there were mountains in the city of the people in the capital, he took a new country name of "Zhongshan", which was determined to confront the Jin State to the end.

So he wanted to push the boat down the river and agreed.

"What the ruling says is reasonable, this time I can only wronged Zhao Qing......"

In the main hall of the Qiqi Palace, after saying all this, Zhizi wanted to see the scene of Zhao Ying's anger, when Fan Ying was in power, he had already watched the reckless Zhao Meng do this many times, but in the court of deceit, this was meaningless.

Lao Tzu once said to Zhisong that those who are good at fighting are not martial, and those who are good at fighting are not angry!

Angry, not knowing how to advance or retreat, not knowing how to lift, this will only make the Marquis of Jin disgusted and jealous, but he can't hurt his political enemies at all. So he never gets angry with his face, and revenge is always launched in the shadows by the hand hidden behind his back.

When encountering this kind of progress and too much resistance, it is necessary to make appropriate concessions, retreat and keep soft, and be the female of the world, so that we can not dare to stand and set up in can't!

There was a slight sneer in his heart, but it froze for a moment.

"Grievance? If the king wants to do this, then the subordinates will swallow this grievance. ”

To Zhisong's surprise, this time, Zhao Ying did not step into the trap as before, and had a meaningless rage, throwing down a cruel sentence and waving away.

He glanced at Zhiqing, and seemed to be holding back his dissatisfaction and said: "The war has not been extinguished, and it is okay to let Erqing wear the guilt and make meritorious service for the time being, but Handan is a small sect of the Zhao family, and it is okay for the Zhao family to ask for guilt, right?" In addition, in the future, there will be something going on in the eastern country, and the ministers will have to send troops to fight for the king, since the Fan royal is incompetent, but he occupies the pass and ferry, and even obstructs our army from crossing the river. The hundreds of households in Jianjin and the surrounding areas were handed over to the Zhao family to guard the monarchy, what is it! ”

Zhisong was stunned, and the Marquis of Jin felt that this was a small price that had to be paid in order to make Zhao Ying give in, and he also agreed......

When he stepped out of the Qiqi Palace, Zhao Ying's face was filled with a smile of victory.

He was rewarded with flags, cars, and golden drums, and he was given the qualifications to enter the Qiqi Palace at night without being notified, and he could take the car to the palace gate, which was enough to be comparable to Zhengqing Zhisong.

Regardless of these vanities for the time being, he also took back the patriarchal power that the Marquis of Jin recognized again, and the Handan clan was summoned and left immediately!

Even if he kills Handan Wu, no one can say half a wrong word in etiquette!

He also won an extremely important river crossing for the Zhao clan, and the fragile connection between Wendi and Xilu added a few more guarantees.

All this is still the idea that Yang Hu gave him: "The sovereign first creates momentum, reopens the lawsuit with the power of the great victory, and sues Fan and the second secretary of the Bank of China." However, at this time, Xian Yu is strong, and if he wants to immediately denounce Fan and Zhongxing, the Marquis of Jin and Zhibo will definitely not allow it, and the lord can take the opportunity to ask for compensation! ”

The exchange of interests in politics is as simple as that, and the Yang Tiger, who incarnates Mr. Wuyou, can be regarded as seeing it clearly.

Zhao Ying looked at the bright spring sun and remembered Zhao Wuxian's evaluation of Yang Hu: "If you know the lord with good deeds, you will be strong, but as for the tyrant!" ”

But, for him, this way is still too aggrieved!

Zhao Ying quickened his pace, now he just wants to tie up Handan Wu, who dared to betray the clan, to ask for the guilt, and beat dozens of whips to vent his anger!

……

And after learning about the blatant disagreement between the Zhi clan and the Zhao clan from his father's mouth, Wei Ju was also sensitively aware of it.

In the Jin Kingdom, the time for the princes to stand in line has arrived! (To be continued.) )
