In the ninth year of the Marquis of Zhao (480 BC), during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhao Wuxian returned to Yecheng. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, it has been almost four months since he went north to sweep away the trouble of Donghu.

During the months of his expedition, the Minister of State Zhang Mengtan managed everything in good order, except for a few small rebellions and rebellions among the remnants of Zhongshan in Zhending County, everything was fine.

Now, the tens of thousands of troops and 200,000 people who have been conscripted have been rewarded, and they have happily returned home for the winter with the money and silk given by the prince and the land vouchers distributed according to merit. The prince also promised that in the spring ploughing next year, he would give them some preferential treatment: the crusade against Donghu and other things did not seize much, but the more than 300,000 cattle and sheep were enough to increase the livestock of Zhao County, and they could work in the fields instead of manpower, liberating some people to do labor, build roads, and open ditches.

After Zhao Hou returned to Yecheng Weiyang Palace, the government affairs that had to wait for him to come back were also sorted out one by one, and all the files on the case were removed before the winter solstice.

Then it was a more important event, after studying in the Linzhang School Palace for five years, Zhao Hou's eldest son Zhao Cao finally came out as scheduled. Zhao Wuxian held a grand crown ceremony for him in the Zhao Clan Temple in Weiyang Palace.

At this time, it has been twenty-five years since Zhao Hou's own crown ceremony...... On top of the crown ceremony, Zhao Cao did not enjoy the treatment of Zhao Wuxian standing on the east step during the crown ceremony, which means that in Zhao Hou's heart, he still insisted on the original choice of the prince candidate.

But Zhao Cao's mother, Bo Mi, was not disappointed, but breathed a sigh of relief, and after coming down, she instructed her son to let him be a feudal monarch in peace, and not to think about anything wrong.

The laws of Zhao State strictly stipulate that Feng Jun is not allowed to stay in the country after he becomes an adult, and Zhao Cao immediately got into a carriage after the crown ceremony, and rushed to Langya in the East to serve as "Langya Jun".

He, who is not a prince, is a feudal monarch who is better than a prince, owns a county and several counties along the coast of Langya, and will guard the seashore for Zhao Wuxian, and at the same time monitor the three princes of Zichuan, Jiaodong, and Jiaoxi.

As far as Zhao Wuxian knew, when Zhao Cao left, he also brought a young man named Zeng Shen with him and appointed him to work in the Langyajun shogunate.

It's also annoying, the legal atmosphere of Yecheng and the pragmatic spirit of Linzhang Academy, Zhao Cao has learned a lot in the past five years, but the good Confucianism in his bones has not given up. After the Battle of Donghu, Zhao Wuxian was a little disappointed in this eldest son, although he was the same age as Zhao Jia, he basically did not suffer any setbacks, and he was still very simple and naïve when he thought about things.

But after all, it is Zhao Wuxian's biological bones, he can only think about the benefits, and the doctrine of Confucius is not all pedantic, and some of Zeng Shen's ideas are mixed with some things proposed by Zhao Wuxian. What's more, Wu Xian had already assigned Cheng Xuan, who was a good spell a few years ago, to serve as Langya Ling, and he might be able to correct Zhao Cao. I only hope that Zhao Cao can listen to his own words and be able to "Confucianism and internal law".

Even if he wants to go back and want to promote benevolence and righteousness, he has limited influence on the local area, and the power of the feudal monarch of Zhao State can be large or small, like Zhong Wujun Zhao Guangde and Shangjun Zhao Yi, they have real power, but Zhao Cao, a yellow-haired son who has no experience in governance, let Langya Ling Yue serve for a few years, no matter what the personal preferences of the feudal monarch are, they must obey the national policy, otherwise they will tie up their hands and be an idle feudal monarch.

As for Zhao Wuxian's crown prince Zhao Heng, he is now almost fifteen years old, with a bowed hair and a jade face, and he is more and more similar to his mother Le Lingzi. Zhao Wuxian was much more concerned about his education, and asked Zhang Mengtan, Zixia, Deng Xi and others to take turns to teach and be Zhao Heng's master, hoping that he would accept the influence of different doctrines while attaching importance to the law.

Zhao Wuxian's harem is still like that, Le Lingzi and Ji Huan maintain the balance in the palace, and they didn't cause any waves after Kongtong Mingzhu entered, but this grassland woman seems to be very good at giving birth, Zhao Wuxian was fortunate to be there once or twice, and at the beginning of December, she was actually diagnosed as pregnant.

On the eighth day of the lunar month, when the snow fell again, Zhao Wuxian had just finished the wax sacrifice and returned to Ji Huan's Changqiu Palace to rest, but received a letter, a letter from the grassland......

You don't need to open it, just look at the handwriting on the sheepskin cover that looks like Chishan Leshi, Zhao Wuxian knows that this is written by Zhao Jia......

……

"My brother, on the top, my sister is annoying the school captain Jia to say goodbye again."

"Farewell in early autumn, it's been three months, like a three-year-old ......"

This letter should have been written last month, that is, the month of the winter solstice, and it took more than a month on the road to Yecheng, which shows the difficulty of detaining and traveling along the way in this cold winter season.

But this letter was full of summer-like enthusiasm, which made Zhao Wuxian feel a trace of warmth in his heart after reading it, driving away the coldness of the wax moon.

The letter is very long, and there is not much to spit out thoughts, but to focus on the narrative. Zhao Jia used a somewhat messy tone to tell what she did there after Zhao Wuxian left Daibei......

As Zhao opened up the situation in northern Xinjiang, the territory under its control was naturally no longer limited to Daijun, but began to expand outward. In September, when the autumn was high and the horse was fat, Zhao Jia led the first batch of military troops into the area of Yinshan and the southern foot of Daqing Mountain north of Daijun, hoping to colonize here and establish a stronghold.

In the letter, she recounted the process of establishing the stronghold, which was so tortuous that Zhao Wuxian didn't know if it was a real thing or if the girl had added an element of imagination.

"The sun of Yin Mountain, and there are mountains, because of its green cedar green, so it is called Daqing Mountain. In the south of Daqing Mountain, there are hundreds of miles of plains and vast fields, barren in the water, Wuquan water flows through it, the land is fertile, the water and grass are abundant, and it is suitable for agriculture and animal husbandry. Sister listened to the words of the indigenous Xiongnu township guide, and built a city in the west of the barren water......"

However, as soon as an earthen wall was built, the new city collapsed for unknown reasons, and the local Huns were very afraid, and even some people in the Zhao army were terrified, thinking that this was offending the local ghosts? They persuaded Zhao Jia to give up his plan to establish a stronghold in this area.

However, who is Zhao Jia, how can he easily admit defeat? She drove all the local indigenous wizards away, and found Lu Ban's disciples from Daijun, the construction craftsmen trained in the Linzhang School Palace, and found that the previous city site was indeed not selected, the ground was humble and wet, and the foundation was difficult to lay firmly, and the village guides of those tribes deliberately led them here......

At the same time, Zhao Jia also sensed that this small tribe called the "Xiongnu" was full of hostility to the arrival of the Zhao army, and in addition to sending village guides to deceive them, they also tried to loot the grain of the Zhao army, so that the sorcerers could cast a spell on the rivers and wells along the way to poison the Zhao people, and they returned in spite of the difficulties.

Zhao Jia was furious, this is the first time that a tribe has violated Zhao Guoyang, if this grass is not pulled out, I am afraid that it will set off a huge rebellion in the grassland.

So she continued to deal with this small tribe called "Xiongnu", with more than 1,000 people, on the other hand, secretly recruited reinforcements from Longcheng, and jointly launched a surprise attack on Lou Fu and Kong Tongren one night, destroying the Xiongnu. As with the Donghu people, they burned their tents, killed all their men, and gave their women to the Kongtong and Lou annoys who submitted to Zhao, and the Xiongnu tribe perished......

After using the blood sacrifice of the Xiongnu Ministry, Zhao Jia asked the craftsmen to go to the east of the barren water to find a new city site.

The legend begins here.

Zhao Jia said that the craftsmen saw a flock of swans flying in the clouds during the day, hovering back and forth in the same place at the southern foot of Daqing Mountain all day long, and the ground below the flock of birds also radiated dazzling brilliance...... After seeing this scene, the craftsman thought it was an auspicious omen, and when he saw that the land was compacted and there was a water source nearby, he decided to build a castle here.

"Jia Nai changed the Yin Mountains and rivers and prayed for them, and saw the flocks of hooves swimming in the clouds during the day, and built a city there...... The name of the city says: In the clouds! ”

……

"Huns, ...... in the clouds"

After Zhao Wuxian read this, he was already embarrassed, he didn't know that Zhao Jia actually wanted to say a lot in the letter, she wanted to tell Zhao Wuxian what she had seen and heard, and her whole world.

But immediately I felt like I could tell him, what could I tell him? What's the point? In the end, it can only be hastily ended after the narrative is completed, with "Today attached mink fur, fox skin and other small things, all are hunted by my sister's own hands, for the road is far away, not more attached, but also ask my brother to accept it." Midwinter is cold, Daibei is like this, and Yecheng is the same, I hope that my brother and sister, and nephews will use the skin of the mink fox as their clothes, and cherish the ...... as the end.

After reading the whole article, Zhao Wuxian suddenly burst out laughing.

Her little sister, she didn't know, she did something amazing quietly. The Xiongnu were just a small tribe in the Spring and Autumn Period, nomadic in the Yinshan Mountains and Daqing Mountains, so small that Zhao Wuxian didn't notice them, but in later generations they became famous and established the first grassland empire, which had a far-reaching impact.

Does this mean that in the future, the Touman, Maoton, and Yizhixian, those righteous "plows and lonely solitudes", should have crisscrossed the Eurasian steppes and made the white people frightened, and the whips of God directly had no chance to appear? And Li Mu, a famous general of Zhao in the Warring States, did not have the opportunity to be stationed in Yunzhong and brush up on the merits of the Huns who had just started.

How the history will change a few centuries later, Zhao Wuxian does not know, he only knows that after Zhao Jia's toss, the large grassland outside the Dai County will completely fall under the actual control of the Zhao State this time. It was located in the area of Hohhot in later generations, and had better pastures than Daijun, which could graze horses on a large scale, train cavalry, and the fertile land near the banks of the Yellow River could open up arable land and feed a large population.

It can be said that Cloud City is a nail that Zhao Guo nailed into the grassland and established its rule in Saibei!

"Edict." Zhao Wuxian read the letter twice, and asked the attendant to record it in the fine brocade book:

"North of the city of Dragon, the county of Essai; south of Yinshan Mountain and Daqing Mountain; To the east of the Yellow River, Yunzhong County is set up, and the county governs Yunzhong City. “

"The princess Zhao Jia, the wise and promising, retreated with three arrows, Leshi Chishan, personally held the golden drum, destroyed the Huns, had the heart to worry about the king, and set the honor of the frontier. The woman of the former Yin is good, listed in the high temple, and now the princess and the woman are not allowed to have eyebrows, and they should be rewarded for being the king of the clouds and leading the military affairs in the clouds! ”

What, to make a princess with a princess!?

The attendant almost bit his tongue, this matter must have caused controversy in the court, but he didn't dare to do anything beyond his authority, and still trembled his hands to record it.

Zhao Wuxian didn't care what others thought, he picked up the jade seal and was silent in front of the brocade book for a long time, his heart was full of pity and helplessness.

Who in the clouds sent the brocade book? When the word goose returned, the moon was full in the West Building, and the moon in Weiyang Palace was very round tonight, but Zhao Jia had to endure the cold winter alone in the simple walled city of the grassland outside the Saiwai. After Zhao Wuxian came back, he and Ji Huan wrote to persuade her a few times, hoping that she could come back, but Zhao Jia's personality is exactly the same as Zhao Ying, and this stubborn silver horse is determined to stay in Daibei......

Zhao Wuxian silently told his apologies in his heart: "Little sister, a comfortable life, delicious food, clothes and silk are not enough to call you back, even so, this can be regarded as a little compensation for your brother......

He sighed on the jade seal and stamped the red seal on the edict that had just dried in ink!

Yun Zhongjun, the fifth Fengjun of Zhao State with the same surname, is a woman!

……

PS: What, let's say a few words, Zhao Jia's plot has been in my mind since about a year and a half ago, and I started to draw up a detailed outline a few months ago, and it has never changed since then. In the process of writing, there were really ups and downs in the book review area, from scolding her at the beginning and saying that she wanted her to die, and then pitying her for feeling that the author was ruthless, this reversal is quite interesting. Of course, some reviews of pirated web pages are unanimous in their belief that the book has collapsed.

However, two years ago, when I first started writing this book, someone said to me, if you can't control the Spring and Autumn Period, it will definitely collapse; A year and a half ago, when the plot entered the unsympathetic Benlu, some people said that the book had collapsed; When it comes to Confucius, some people say that books have collapsed; When Nanzi was written, some people said that the book had collapsed; When writing Ji Ying's chapter, someone said that the book collapsed, so you should finish it......

It's been two years, five volumes, one thousand one hundred and fifty-three chapters, three million six hundred and fifty thousand words, has the book collapsed? Is it rotten? The boutique has been entered, the copyright has been sold, and the long-term contract has been signed, what more can the husband ask for?

"Book friends' opinions" I will read, think, and revise inappropriate and insignificant details, but I will never change my outline because of anyone. He boasted by him, and the bright moon shone on the river. Anyway, this character has been imprinted in your hearts, at least in the hearts of most people, you can't forget her within a year, you can't forget the feeling of a little regret when you part, her existence is a success. Except for a few people, every important character, their ending has been predestined by their character at the moment of appearance, and even I can't reverse it. The above is purely a disease-free moan.,If you support it, vote.,This chapter is sent in advance tomorrow.,There's another chapter in the evening.。
