Chapter 20 Finalization of Candidates

The Southern Imperial Kingdom has gone through three generations of emperors, and it will soon usher in its fourth generation of emperors.

Gaozu Sima Shun compared himself to the first emperor of the ages, opened up the territory, fought a large war, and established the Southern Imperial Dynasty from the war. At this time, the Southern Imperial Kingdom was strong, everyone had a lot of enthusiasm, everyone was the son of destiny, the savior of the world, and relying on this Lingyun momentum, he gnawed down many hard bones from the long-standing Northern Proud Country, and became a piece of my Southern Imperial Kingdom.

However, it is useless to have only the country, and the economic development of the southern imperial country at this time is almost at a standstill, and the people and the people's livelihood and agricultural production in various places are almost none.

As a result, Nangoku soon fell into famine and poverty, and rebellion broke out again and again.

After Emperor Sima Yuan ascended the throne, he first sent envoys to the eastern country to borrow grain, and after signing a series of grains, he distributed them in the south and the country, and first appeased the people everywhere.

Subsequently, special personnel were sent to go deep into various places to reclaim wasteland, and give the farmers advanced planting experience, so that they could be self-sufficient and self-reliant.

At this time, Emperor Cheng did not ignore the armed forces, established a relatively complete system for the selection and appointment of military generals, and also strengthened the local garrison and overhauled the law, so that the crime rate in various places plummeted, and the people's holy orders and property safety were fully guaranteed.

Under the leadership of Emperor Cheng, the Southern Imperial Kingdom also entered a period of prosperity and development.

And when the Southern Imperial Kingdom reached its peak stage and gradually began to decline, revealing hidden dangers, it was the time when Emperor Jing Sima Huan, the father of Princess Anning, succeeded to the throne.

On the basis of Emperor Cheng's development of agriculture, Emperor Jing vigorously encouraged and supported the development of handicrafts and commerce, and gradually strengthened commercial exchanges with various countries, making the national strength more and more prosperous.

The system of selecting and appointing military generals has been improved, so that the rights and treatment of military generals have been more fully guaranteed.

From Sima and Sikong, the new battalion soldiers were co-ordinated, and the left and right attendants were set up; The original "four soldiers" were expanded to "five soldiers", and the five soldiers were set up, so that the classification and management of the arms were more specific and reasonable.

Under the various measures of Emperor Jing, the development of the national strength of the Southern Imperial Kingdom reached its peak.

The army was prosperous, the treasury was abundant, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, which made the surrounding countries come to the court for a while.

Some small countries such as the Tianyun Kingdom and the Liuhua Kingdom have also become vassal states of the Southern Imperial Kingdom.

It seems that everything is going in a good direction, but hidden dangers are also coming.

Because of the irrationality of the official recruitment system and the rapid development of commerce, the phenomenon of buying and bribing officials has become the norm.

In particular, the four families of Wang, Gu, Ning, and Xie developed in Beijing, although they were not powerful ministers, they were better than powerful ministers, and they reached their peak with the four women who entered the palace as concubines.

The four were in the limelight for a while.

Emperor Jing's original intention was to let these four families contain each other and check and balance each other, but in fact, the open and secret battles between these four families have already made a mess of the court of the Southern Imperial Kingdom.

Princess Anning's brother-in-law, the former crown prince Sima Qian, is the result of the struggle between these four families.

Emperor Jing has become more and more powerless in the later period, if it weren't for the fact that there were still Dazai, Taifu, and Taiwei on top, I am afraid that the world would be in chaos.

But the current situation will not be very good.

Therefore, in view of the current situation of Nan Yuguo, although Princess Anning's idea is bold, it is inevitably not a good way.

"Leave to die and be born".

Since this sentence was proposed, it has been transmitted by people, especially when used in military battles, and has repeatedly achieved miraculous results.

Now it is very appropriate to use it in the situation that the building is about to collapse.

Dazai and the lieutenant nodded, very satisfied with Princess An Ning.

In fact, they already had an idea in their hearts, but they just wanted to test Princess An Ning again.

Dazai said with emotion: "Xiao Ling'er's vision and strategy have never lost to men, but I can't wait to be a man." ”

"An Ning never wanted to be a man." Princess An Ning shook her head, as if she was a little emotional and a little sad, "If you can, An Ning would rather not be a member of this royal family."

The turmoil and power struggle in this world are nothing but the selfish desires of the human heart. If you can live a plain and ordinary life, it is not a real happiness. ”

When Dazai and Taifu heard this, they both glanced at Emperor Jing on the sickbed, and let out a sigh at the same time.

They all know that the source of all this lies in the Sima Qian case back then. At that time, the one who contributed the most and benefited the most in this case was none other than the Wang family.

"To destroy them is to make them mad." Princess An Ning understated the fate of the Wang family, "The Wang family wants their crown prince to succeed to the throne, so let's let the prince succeed to the throne." The prince is kind-hearted and looks very good, and the power of the Wang family is indeed unmatched for a while.

But as the saying goes, 'people must rebel, dogs jump over the wall in a hurry', once the prince sits on this throne, under the pressure of the Wang family step by step, will he really not bite the Wang family? What's more, there is also our promotion in this. ”

Dazai and Taifu glanced at Emperor Jing, and the matter was settled.

Dazai and Taifu drafted the decree on the spot, and then the Nakatsune servant took out the jade seal and stamped it with this seal.

The decree took effect on the spot.

Dazai and Taifu took the holy decree and waited for a suitable time to read it, and this suitable time was in the Ah Pu brought by Princess An Ning.

Ah Pu stood outside the temple gate and was not quiet for long, and before the time of tea, someone couldn't help but come over to ask Ah Pu for some inside information.

In fact, at the beginning, these people were not so blatant, after all, there were indeed some soldiers and horses guarding this Ah Gou. However, after several temptations, they found that as long as they did not pose a threat to the safety of the people, the soldiers would not care about them, and they became emboldened.

In the face of these temptations in the open and in the dark, Ah Pu responded without leakage, and vividly interpreted the identity of a face who only knew that he was having fun with Princess Anning, no matter how he looked at it, he was a subordinate who could not be on the stage who would only please him.

The faces of the crowd were a little ugly.

They can't get any benefit from Agui, so they naturally have to invite others to start from other angles.

So a very loud scolding sound reached the ears of Princess An Ning and several people through the palace gate-

"Sima Jingling, you shameless woman, get out of here!"
