Lu Bing stood up, and suddenly there was a crumbling feeling in the whirlwind, and it took a while to recover, and then asked, "When is it?" ”

"In the fourteenth year of the new country, the queen thought about the Holy Emperor in the morning and evening, and she was overly sad and had a headache, and she searched for famous doctors in the north, south, east and west, but no one could heal her. &{}. {}.}” The shopkeeper replied: "After the queen died, the country began to gradually divide and form a new country between the north and the south. ”

Lu Bing waved his hand and stopped talking, and tears flowed uncontrollably. He sighed and didn't feel the tears on his chest. Touching the chest is safe, and sorrow starts from it. The eyes of the sleep are still visible, and the last sound is still in the ears. These poems are the most suitable to describe the shape of Lu Bing's feelings at this moment, at this time Lu Bing's thoughts are all gone, Meng Xueqing and himself are together, the smile, the sound and appearance, and the clouds and smoke of the past have emerged in Lu Bing's mind for a while. Lu Bing wiped his tears after a cup of tea, and said to the shopkeeper's fist: "The shopkeeper, I will give you credit today, and I will definitely repay you in the future." ”

"Holy Emperor, the little one doesn't dare. The Holy Emperor can have a meal here with me, and the little one is already fortunate enough for the ancestor to appear for three lives. The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Here to the northwest, is Shanyin County, where lives the former cabinet minister Xu Wei, the Holy Emperor can go there to ask the truth, after all, we are just grass people, maybe it is comprehensive." Although Lord Xu has been sick at home, he still knows more than we know. ”

Lu Bing nodded and left there, heading towards Shanyin County with a strong wind under his feet. As the king of a country, you know the territory of the country by heart, as long as you know where you are. You can basically understand the direction, and these maps Lu Bing had to look at every day when he was in power.

It took Lu Bing two hours to find Xu Wei's residence, and it was already the second half of the night. Lu Bing didn't care so much and knocked on Xu Wei's door. After a long time, the porter opened the door and muttered in the local dialect of Shaoxing: "I still knock on the door so late, is there any education, mourning or begging." ”

"I'm looking for Xu Wei." Lu Bing didn't care and said, after all, it was so late. It's also normal to say a few nasty whining words.

The porter looked at Lu Bing with a lantern, and then asked, "Which one are you, what are you doing with my master?" "The porter didn't dare to despise it. Although this person is a little outdated in dress, he is covered with clothes of good texture, and it is estimated that although he is now down, it is likely to be the former official eunuch's house, and it may also be an old friend of the old man Xu Wei. At that time, the north and the south were divided into dynasties. How many officials have returned home or returned to their hometowns. How many people fell off the horse because they were on the wrong line, so they couldn't be despised so the words softened a little.

"I'm his lord, ask Xu Wei to come out for me." Lu Bing said and pushed open the door and walked in, he was now sad and angry in his heart, but he didn't have the heart to talk nonsense with the porter, so he lost his patience. If it weren't for the fear of scaring their family, they would have climbed over the wall.

Concierge blocking is ineffective. Hurriedly went to report, and the gardeners of the family hurriedly surrounded him. The hall where Xu Wei was located was still lit at this time, Xu Wei opened the door, coughed twice and said, "Who is looking for me?" ”

"Wen Chang, it's me." Lu Bing said.

Xu Wei looked at the lanterns, torches and other objects held by the people around him, and his body trembled. The people around him hurriedly helped, but Xu Wei pushed away the others, took two steps forward, and suddenly burst into tears, fell to his knees and shouted, "Holy Lord, you are back." ”

Wen Chang stood up and spoke. Lu Bing's eyes were suddenly hazy with tears, and he helped Xu Wei up. Xu Wei was a member of the think tank formed by Lu Bing during the White Feather Rebellion, and later found that it was of great use, and gradually promoted, although he was not an important minister of the court, but after Lu Bing became the emperor of a generation, he still let Xu Wei enter the cabinet and jointly govern the government. Xu Wei is not a good player in the world, but he is a famous minister who rules the world. Although he is quite slippery, Lu Bing took a fancy to his talent and let Xu Wei display his ambitions. Therefore, there is not only the love of the monarch and the minister, but also the friendship of Bole.

Xu Wei stood up and said, "Holy Lord, where have you been for so many years?" It's so hard for you to wait. ”

"It's hard to put into words," Lu Bing said, "Let's go into the house and talk." ”

Xu Wei nodded, asked everyone in the family to retreat, and asked everyone not to divulge the matter, and then let Lu Bing into the house. Xu Wei knew everything and told him what had happened to him and the country over the years, and he did not hide it from Lu Bing in the slightest, not only because he was affectionate, but also because he understood that in the face of Lu Bing, a smart person, concealing it would be counterproductive.

It turned out that after Lu Bing's disappearance, the new country began to divide and the struggle for power became increasingly serious, but in general, no matter which force it was, it was still for the good of the country. At the beginning of the fourteenth year of the new country, Meng Xueqing was in poor health and wanted Lu Xun to take the throne, and Lu Yiben agreed, but Meng Xueqing thought that cutting the grass would leave trouble in the future if it was not eradicated, so she wanted to take the opportunity to dispose of Lu Yi and ensure Lu Xun's country.

Unexpectedly, the matter was leaked, Lu Yi fled and immediately turned his face and argued and made a confrontation posture, Meng Xueqing wanted to unite the military and political power to fight back with all his might. But how could the heavens not fulfill people's wishes, Meng Xueqing's body couldn't hold on, she fell ill all of a sudden, and died a few months later. Lu Yi and Lu Xun jointly handled the funeral of Queen Meng Xueqing, and the whole country was in mourning, and at this time, the power of the cabinet had been hollowed out, and Lu Play had also become a marginal role, but the two brothers were very good to Lu Play and Lu Fu and the imperial sister Lu Yin.

Two months after Meng Xueqing's death, Lu Yi went to Nanjing, and the earth was king, also known as Xinguo. From the 11th to the 14th year of the new country, the fate of many people has changed. For example, Qi Shuhai in Shandong was directly transferred to the northern Xinjiang garrison by Meng Xueqing to weaken Lu Yi's strength, and the cabinet ministers were also divided. The cabinet ministers were regarded as people who were divided from the government because they supported and supported Lu Wan according to Lu Bing's original idea, and their rights were naturally inferior to those feudal officials and generals with troops, and they were quickly emptied if the court did not recognize them, and even if Lu Xun, who was relatively lenient, returned to power, they did not restore their power.

Xia Yan Zhishi returned to his hometown, so did Xu Jie, Yan Song and Yan Shifan's father and son occupied Lu Yi's side, while Yang Shen was more inclined to Meng Xueqing. In short, the ministers of all sides are also attached to the struggle between the two forces. If you don't stand in line, you will be isolated, or even demoted and released, while Xu Wei saw that Queen Meng Xueqing's health was worried. felt that Lu Yi had more potential, so he stood on Lu Yi's side, but his health was not good, after the division of the north and the south, Xu Wei could only return to his hometown.

In short, the imperial court is no longer the previous imperial court, after Meng Xueqing's death, Lu Xun and Lu deduced the north-south system. But there is still a deep brotherhood, and there has never been any major conflict, but Lu Yi is tough. Aggressively marching into the southwest, northwest, and northeast, surrounding Lu Xun's territory as if it could be swallowed at any time. Lu Yi's governance was more authoritarian, and the wind of freedom was weakening, and he still respected the supremacy of imperial power. But the people were stable, and the country was rich. However, the technological and military strength of the new country is still much higher than that of other countries. Therefore, no one dared to intrude, not to mention that most of the domestic disputes were contests of strength and political struggles, rather than the outbreak of civil wars, and there were many fewer opportunities for foreign countries.

After Lu Yi annexed these lands, Lu Xun did not say anything about it, although Lu Xun's wisdom can be reflected in major matters, but most of the usual affairs are handled by the cabinet ministers of the Northern New Kingdom, in short, they do not belong to the faint monarch but are definitely not a diligent king. About the Xiliang aspect. The reason why Lu Yi is so strong is not only because of his high prestige in the army. He has a lot of power, not only because there are many people in the DPRK who are optimistic about him and his political strength is strong, but also because he has the help of Xiliang. No one knows how Lu Yi and Xia Dade talked about it, but Xiliang contributed to Lu Yi's work, and Lu Yi was recognized by Xia Dade's regime and supported by all sides without much effort. Although Xia Dade and Meng Xueqing have different friendships, firstly, Meng Xueqing is dead, and on the other hand, as the king of a country, sometimes it is normal for such people to be indifferent and ignore profit, and it is even more understandable.

However, Xia Dade ate himself and raised tigers, and after Lu Yi got a large piece of land, he immediately launched a war against Xiliang. Xiliang naturally couldn't resist, so Xiliang decided to gather the strength of the whole country and fight to the death with Lu Yi, not to win the enemy, only to hit the enemy hard is victory.

Lu Yi's troops were divided into nine routes, advancing layer by layer, one party arrived first, and the camp house was empty, leaving eight roads and eight ambushes on all sides. Xia Dade thought that it was a godsend, so he personally led his troops to come, and then waved his troops to rob the camp, and used reincarnation tactics to keep camping. Lu Yi effortlessly gathered the main forces of the whole country in Xiliang together, so a one-sided war of annihilation began, Xia Dade died in the war, Lu Yi waved his army westward, and the momentum along the way was unstoppable, and Xiliang had no strong troops available. The mother of Xiliang Kingdom took the prince to personally ask for peace, signed dozens of treaties for the loss of power and humiliation of the country, and tossed the land compensation, and Lu Yi agreed to withdraw from the army.

Under the centralized governance of Lu Yi, although the people were no longer free and it was quite difficult to defend their rights, fortunately, the official system was okay, and there was no collusion between officials and businessmen to oppress the people, so there were no riots and riots. At the same time, it is precisely because of Lu Yi's centralization and strengthening of management that although the territory is large, it can be regarded as peaceful, and in troubled times, Lu Yi not only has a tough internal and external policy, but also tends to be strict in the legal system, and even how the people speak and do things are controlled, and the national etiquette is also standardized, and the kneeling salute is implemented again, which is contrary to Lu Bing's policy of governing the country and the regime of the new country in the north, in sharp contrast.

That's all for the basic state affairs, Lu Bing shook his head and sighed after hearing this, and then asked: "Xu Wei, if you are asked to accompany me to enter politics, can your body still hold up?" ”

Xu Wei was stunned for a long time after hearing this, then stood up and bowed to the end and said: "For the sake of the saint, Xu Wei will swear allegiance to the death when he is crushed to pieces." ”

"Good!" Lu Bing praised.

In the early morning of the second day, Lu Bing set off and went back to Beijing first. Although the north and south regimes have been divided, the boundaries between the two countries are not clear, and trade between the two countries has not been hindered unless there is even no one guarding the vicinity of the important towns. Lu Bing returned to Beijing without much trouble, and saw his son, Lu Xun, the current emperor of the Northern New Kingdom, the father and son hugged their heads and cried, although Lu Bing felt that Lu Xun was not successful, he only thought that he was not suitable to be a monarch. Everyone has their own ambitions and strengths, and Lu Xun's nature is not bad. At this moment, the father and son couldn't say anything, and for a while, they couldn't say anything except tears.
