Each of these three had different words.

Xu Shiming refers to the essence of being the emperor, but in fact, it is a false name.

Sun Guangxian also has the heart of the dragon in his heart, but he keenly feels that now is not the time to become emperor.

Xu Shouren still unconditionally obeyed his Dalang's wishes.

Baili Wuji said: "This matter is over, don't mention it again." ”

But the excerpts that support Baili Wuji as the emperor are still being presented in a steady stream.

After the last, Baili Wuji was angry.

The edict, "Chu is a vassal state of Shu, vainly claiming that the emperor has no king and no father, and has messed up the routine. ”

As soon as this order came out, the territory of Chu State was instantly calmed down, and no one dared to say a word nonsense.

At this time, Princess Meng Yanyi of the West gave birth to a daughter, diverting the attention of Baili Wuji and the officials of Chu State. Meng Yanyi didn't know the mystery and accepted it gladly, but although Gao Rongrong knew the reason, how could she break it.

And so, everyone rejoiced.

……。

Baili Wuji didn't expect that the news of this edict deeply moved Meng Chang.

A month later, the envoy of Shu arrived.

The emperor's holy decree is to worship Baili Wuji as the captain of Shu.

The position of Tai Lieutenant is a positive product, which was originally the highest military governor of a country, but now it has become a fictitious title or an additional official.

But it is undeniable that in the whole country of Shu, except for Meng Chang, there is no second person who can compare with Baili Wuji.

December 16.

It's the end of the year in the blink of an eye.

This year, the state of Chu experienced another war.

But this war was different from usual, and the flames of war did not burn in the territory of Chu.

Although a huge amount of materials and food reserves have been lost, judging from the amount of gold and silver brought back by Bailikang, it can also be achieved without losing a small profit.

The most important thing is to incorporate the Wu Dynasty and the city of Zhancheng into the territory of the Chu State, and obtain a perfect port for the concept of the Maritime Silk Road in Baili Wuji's mind.

Xu Shiming and Sun Guangxian reported this year's income to Baili Wuji.

The total annual income of the state of Chu this year was 21.8 million taels, an increase of 30 percent over the previous year. Among them, the agricultural tax is 11 million taels, the commercial tax is 9 million taels, the salt tax is 400,000 taels, the iron tax is 400,000 taels, and the rest miscellaneous taxes are 1 million taels. The main growth came from commercial taxes. The increase in agricultural taxes was mainly due to the increase in the land of the former Southern Han Dynasty.

Because of the occupation of Jiaozhou and the resettlement of refugees, the grain collected this year just covered the expenditure, and the grain in the official warehouses of the prefectures was basically the same as last year.

This Spring Festival, Baili Wuji has been locking himself in the study and has not seen anyone.

No one knows what Lu Dao Baili Wuji is thinking, not even Xu Shiming and Sun Guangxian.

Even Gao Rongrong and Meng Yanyi didn't know what to do.

But there are also happy events, on the fifth day of the first month, Xu Shouren, the governor of Chu State, married Lu Xiaocui, the commander of the Tanzhou Medical Bureau, and gave Xu Shouren the word, saying Dinghe.

This marriage was given by the king of Chu Baili Wuji, and he personally officiated the marriage, which was extremely glorious.

As soon as the Spring Festival passes.

Baili Wuji summoned the commander of the Seventh Army of the Black Flag Army to make Sun Shixu come to Tanzhou.

Xu Shouren was ordered to accompany him again.

The three of them had a secret discussion in the palace study for three days. The outside of the study was guarded by the personal guards of the King of Chu, and no one was allowed to approach. Even the guards were guarded a foot away from the study.

No one knows what it is.

But according to Xu Shiming forced one of the guards to learn, during the three days in the study, there were often quarrels and angry shouts.

In the past few days, Tanzhou Mansion has made Wu Bin have a headache, a very headache.

There have been several cases of disappearances of Fuso traders in the city.

The number of missing persons reached twenty-six.

After several days of investigation, the case still could not be solved.

In desperation, he had to report to the Chu Palace.

But there was not the slightest response.

The matter is closed.

At this time, the king of Chu Baili Wuji ordered Sun Shixu and Xu Shouren to select 200 outstanding students who had been studying in the Ming Arithmetic Department of the Bo College for two years to gather in a place in the Tanzhou Mansion and start surprise training.

The content is in the native language of Fuso, and the Arabic numeral counting taught by Baili Wuji himself.

……。

In the first month.

The Southern Tang Emperor Li Jing wrote to the Fujian Emperor Xi because of the proximity of the Southern Tang Dynasty to Min and Yin, and the Yin lord Wang Yanzheng blamed the two brothers for asking each other and wanted to be a peacemaker. I never thought that Wang Xi cited stories such as Tang Taizong's punishment of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's brothers to compare themselves. Wang Yanzheng replied to the book to reprimand the Southern Tang Dynasty for usurping Wu. Li Jing was furious, and the Southern Tang Dynasty broke off relations with Yin and prepared to destroy Yin.

And the war of the Jin Kingdom in the north has been ignited.

Taiyuan reported that the Khitan entered the Yanmen Pass. Hengzhou, Xingzhou, and Cangzhou all reported that the Khitan came to invade.

In order to stabilize the country, Shi Chonggui asked Chengde Jiedu to send his staff Cao Guangyi to Yang Guangyuan and explain to him the blessings of obedience or disobedience to the imperial court, Yang Guangyuan sent Cao Guangyi to the imperial court, saying: "Yang Chengzuo fled to Qingzhou because his mother was sick. Since they have received the court's grace and forgiveness, the He clan is grateful for the court's favor. The court said that it believed his words, and sent an envoy to appease him again with Cao Guangyi.

At the same time, Shi Chonggui appointed the guard Ma Budu to command Jing Yanguang as the imperial envoy, and the former Jing Nanjie made Li Zhou stay in Tokyo. On this day, Gao Xingzhou led the front army to set off first. At that time, the strategy and orders for the use of troops were all from Jing Yanguang, and from the prime minister down, they could not participate in the forecast. Shi Chonggui didn't expect that Jing Yanguang would use his power to be willful and insult the generals, even the Son of Heaven couldn't stop him.

At this time, the Khitan lord Yelu Deguang was stationed in Yuancheng, Zhao Yanshou was stationed in Nanle, and the Khitan appointed Zhao Yanshou as the envoy of Wei Bojie and the king of Wei.

On the sixteenth day of the first month, the Khitan invaded Taiyuan, and Liu Zhiyuan and Bai Chengfu united 20,000 soldiers to meet it. On the 21st, the Later Jin Dynasty appointed Liu Zhiyuan as the envoy of the Youzhou Daoxing camp, Du Wei as the deputy envoy, and Ma Quanjie as the Du Yuhou. On the 23rd, Zhang Yanze, the general of the Right Military Guard, and other commanders were dispatched to resist the Khitan in Liyang.

Although Shi Chonggui's tone was very hard, he was still scared after all, and sent the envoy Meng Shouzhong to send a letter to the Khitan again, asking for a restoration of the old good. Jerod replied: "This is the end of the situation, and the situation that has been formed cannot be changed. ”

Just when Shi Chonggui was frightened, Taiyuan reported that he defeated the Khitan Wei King in Xiurong in Xinzhou and beheaded the enemy with three thousand. The Khitan soldiers fled from the Valley of Crowming. This made Shi Chonggui rekindle his confidence.

On the first day of the second month, Shi Chonggui ordered the former Baoyi Jiedu to make Shi guard Majiakou, the former Weisheng Jiedu to make He Jianjian guard Yang Liu Town, the protector of the Holy Capital commanded Bai Zairong to guard Majiakou, and Xijing stayed behind An Yanwei to guard Heyang. Soon, Zhou Ru led the Khitan general Ma to cross the Yellow River from Majiakou, set up camp on the east bank, and attacked Beijin, Yunzhou, to meet Yang Guangyuan.

On the second day of the first month, Shi Chonggui sent the commander of the guard Ma Jundu, Li Shouzhen, the envoy of Yicheng Jiedu, the emperor Fuyu of the Shenwu army, Liang Hanzhang, the defense envoy of Chenzhou, and Xue Huairang, the assassin of Huaizhou, to command 10,000 troops along the Yellow River.
