CHAPTER XVIII

In the final analysis, it is still a kind of warlord thinking, the idea of occupying the land as the king is making trouble, and there is also Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Kuangyin is not bad, it was also because Chai Rong died, and he wanted to take Zhou and stand on his behalf, and was quickly surrounded by Baili Wuji, and ended in failure.

In the original history, Zhao Kuangyin also treated the Chai family well. After he usurped the throne, he secretly set up an oath monument with two death oaths on it, which were left to his children and grandchildren.

The first is that future generations are not allowed to kill the descendants of the Chai family without permission, even if the Chai family commits the crime of rebellion, they can only be punished and not offended. Article 2: It is forbidden to kill scholars and doctors or those who have heard about it. And said that those who dare to violate this oath will not die well!

Therefore, usurpation has nothing to do with emotion.

But in the end, judging from the inexplicable causes of death of Chai Rong's sons, Zhao Kuangyin was just talking, not taking it seriously, maybe Zhao Kuangyin was taking it seriously, but his younger brother Zhao Guangyi didn't take it seriously.

Zhao Kuangyin "deceived him as a widow and orphan", which betrayed Chai Rong's trust in him.

However, the struggle for imperial power is always like this, and there is no reason at all.

If there is no Ming Kingdom that is unscrupulous, if God is not a jealous talent, let Chai Rong live for another twenty years, Zhao Kuangyin will just be a festival envoy until he dies, and if he mixes it well, he will be an empty king, and that's it.

But history does not allow the assumption that Chai Rong is dead, can the seven-year-old Chai family child afford the great cause of reunification? Of course, no one dares to say that Chai Zongxun is inferior to his father Chai Rong when he grows up, but such an assumption is meaningless.

As the saying goes, a husband can't be without power for a day, since Chai Rong is dead. You should take your own seat and replace it. Perhaps this was Zhao Kuangyin's most practical idea at that time.

Of course, if Zhao Kuangyin didn't die at the age of forty-nine, let him live for twenty more years. Even if it only takes ten years, maybe Zhao Guangyi will not be able to succeed to the throne, and history will have to be rewritten.

But Li Yun is not as good as Zhao Guangyi, and even less as Zhao Kuangyin, not to mention that Li Yun is old enough to follow Chai Rong away, just say that he really wants to replace him, how can he serve the public with his tens of thousands of miscellaneous troops?

What's more, now Baili Wuji reigns over the world with hundreds of thousands of troops in the Ming Kingdom. Even the ambitious Zhao Kuangyin retreated and went to Luocheng to be his king, how could he fight with the power of Li Yun?

Although Li Yun was captured. But he was not escorted to Jinling Mansion.

Baili Wuji didn't want to face him, because Baili Wuji knew that if he saw Li Yun, maybe he would be soft-hearted again. The iron-blooded indifference of Baili Wuji's appearance. can't hide the kindness in his heart, he always wants to have a way to live with others, and hopes that everyone in the world can have a way to live, and naturally, he can also let himself have a way to live.

Only when he is cornered will Baili Wuji really become indifferent.

And now, Li Yun has obviously offended the reverse scales of Baili Wuji, at this juncture. Li Yun gave a bad start to the various festivals of the original Zhou Kingdom, so. After Baili Wuji received Xu Shouren's battle report, he only had two words - trial and beheading.

The trial is a public trial, and the beheading is a cut-off.

With its head, it deters those who are greedy for the dragon chair.

Li Yun was the first and last relict of the Zhou State who was personally ordered to cut off the head by Baili Wuji, and from then on, Baili Wuji's attitude towards the former ministers of the original Zhou State was mainly Huairou.

Unless he rebelled and plotted rebellion like Li Yun, Baili Wuji had no intention of killing anyone.

Maybe Li Yun's killing deterred a lot of Su Xiao, or maybe the Ming army was too strong and had already taken away the army's various towns, so they should be called governors now, and they didn't have a trace of abnormal behavior, at least, on the surface.

The Ming Kingdom finally showed signs of stability and peace, the people of the north and south were close because of marriage, and became happy because of the improvement of living standards.

It is in this atmosphere of harmony that the giant wheel of the Ming economy is turning forward again, and it is turning faster and faster.

Although the Ming Kingdom is in a period of national treasury exhaustion, just like a person's belly, once it has been stretched, even if it is so hungry that its chest is close to its back, as long as it eats at the beginning, it will quickly recover.

The economy of the Ming Kingdom is exactly like this, once the state of war is switched back to the economy and people's livelihood, and it develops, it will be the effect of twice the result with half the effort.

August of the thirteenth year of the liberation.

When the autumn is crisp, Baili Wuji is finally going to marry his daughter.

Princess Baili Yiyun of Yue Guo has reached the age of twenty, although Baili Wuji still wants to stay with her for a few more years, but according to the practice of this era, Princess Yue Guo is already an older young woman.

After careful selection, Baili Wuji finally set the target of the quasi-colt on the four people.

That is, when Baili Wuji gave a speech at Jinling Academy, the "difficult" students Guo Tingwei and Shen Taowen, as well as the rising stars Jiang Yansi and Zhu Guichao, who became famous in the north of Fuzhou.

Baili Wuji chose these four people as candidates, but the final decision was handed over to his daughter, after all, Baili Wuji had the understanding of the future generations and didn't want his daughter to be wronged.

In fact, according to Baili Wuji's heart, he likes Jiang Yansi more, this person is loyal and righteous, which is very much in line with Baili Wuji's heart.

But in the end, among the four, it was Guo Tingwei who was favored by Baili Yiyun.

This made Baili Wuji couldn't help but be surprised, in the eyes of Baili Wuji, Guo Tingwei is a second goods, dare to contradict the people who are embarrassed by today's saints in the academy, what is it if it is not a second goods?

Although Baili Wuji also appreciated his strategic insights into the Northern Expedition to conquer Liao, he still didn't like this too reckless student in his heart.

But now that her daughter has decided, and the candidate is selected by herself, there is no longer any doubt about Baili Wuji.

So, on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the only princess of the Ming Kingdom, Princess Yue, got married.

In order to show his love for the princess, Baili Wuji specially decreed an amnesty to the world, as long as he was not a death row prisoner or a prisoner for murder and transgression, he would be pardoned.

At the same time, Baili Wuji issued an order, and Guo Tingwei was awarded the title of General Zhaowu, and the Imperial Forest Army was transferred to the commander of the West Chamber, commanding 20,000 Imperial Forest Army.

On the day of the princess's wedding, Bai Liyi, Bai Likang, Xu Shouren and others gathered in Jinling Mansion, and even Sun Shixu, who had been serving filial piety, finally came out of the customs.

On this happy day, when the princess of Yue Guo left in a sedan chair, Baili Wuji was a little uncomfortable.

He was reluctant to marry his daughter, and his heart was filled with sourness, and even his eyes turned red.

Although Gao Rongrong and the other two concubines had already cried into tears, when they saw Baili Wuji's appearance, they couldn't help but secretly laugh and make fun of Baili Wuji in private.

Baili Wuji knew that he was out of shape, but he didn't want to hide it. (To be continued......)
