Chapter 360: Reduction of military power

This case involves three county lords, and the background involved is too deep, Jing Zhaoyin naturally can't judge, and reported it to Mo Guhan in the early dynasty.

Mo Gu Han Longyan was furious: "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the capital of the legal system, he dared to fight so bravely, and blatantly set fire to the murder, regardless of the safety of the people, and peeped at the leopard in the tube, it can be seen how rampant these county lords are in their fiefdoms!" ”

Mo Guhan responded to the call, and as soon as he opened his mouth, there were naturally people who echoed the hundreds of officials below.

"The emperor's words are by no means alarmist, since ancient times, but all those who are in high positions and powerful, and there are many children who have hakama anointment, all of them have no king's law and bully others."

"The ministers have also heard of it, especially the king of Nanling has heavy troops under him, and in his own fiefdom, he covers the sky with one hand, and the people dare not speak out."

For a time, there were many impeachments against the three vassal kings.

Naturally, there are also people who have friendships with several vassal kings in the courtiers, and when they see that the wind is not in the right direction at this time, where do they dare to intervene? They all stood aside, looking at their noses and noses, and their hearts and minds, checking the signs of development.

Shao Ziqing took a step forward and said leisurely: "The impact of this matter is too bad, I really can't laugh at it, and it will mess up my Chang'an law and discipline." The root of this lies in the fact that several vassal kings have been self-respecting and self-aggrandizing over the years. According to the opinion of Wei Chen, several vassal kings should be summoned to Beijing, and small punishments should be given to set an example. ”

Mo Guhan's anger did not subside, and he turned his head and asked King Chen: "What does King Chen mean?" ”

King Chen just thought about it for a moment: "Shao Xiang's words are reasonable, but the three vassal kings are far away, and if they are summoned to Beijing, there will inevitably be some labor. Moreover, there seems to be some contradictions between the three county lords, the three of them gather in the capital, if they all love their daughters, they will inevitably have quarrels when they meet.

In this matter, according to Xiao Wang, no matter what the cause is, who is right and who is wrong, is guilty. It's better to play fifty boards each, and give each of the three vassal kings a letter of condemnation, reprimanding the three vassal kings for arsoning with their daughters, teaching their daughters not strictly, relying on the soldiers and horses in their hands, and messing with the law and discipline of Chang'an. Let's see how the three vassal kings react.

If you have a good attitude of admitting your guilt, you will change your mistakes, compensate the people for their losses, and eliminate the bad influence. If the three vassal kings argued and refused to admit their mistakes, then it would naturally be a different matter. ”

Mo Guhan had already had a plan in his heart, and naturally knew that he would never let the three vassal kings gather in the capital, so he bowed his head and said: "King Chen is extremely worried, the three vassal kings have worked hard and made great achievements, and I have always been grateful for their contributions. I don't want to pursue this matter too much. According to what King Chen said, he immediately issued an edict and ordered the three vassal kings to reflect on their mistakes in order to see the aftermath. If he is obsessed, his descendants must not be qualified to be hereditary vassal kings. ”

Several vassal kings were still immersed in the shock of the Zhuge Repeater developed by Han Yuchu, and their respective secret reports had already been delivered to their hands.

The person who sent the letter told him the ins and outs, and the three of them were all indignant at first, feeling that the other party was simply too deceitful, and they did whatever it took to choose a concubine, and they ignored the relationship between them in the past.

But when I smacked and touched it, I vaguely felt that it was not right. It's just that the emperor is far away, and he doesn't know what the ins and outs are, and he can't make a decision.

Immediately after, Mo Guhan's edict was quickly whipped and sent to several vassal kings.

The edict is clearly stated, that is, it condemns several vassal kings for supporting their own troops and not strictly disciplining them, causing the princes and county lords to bully others, and now the whole capital is full of resentment, so the emperor decreed that several people should all repent.

The vassal kings spent a lot of money on the messengers who came to give orders, and they entertained them with good wine and food, and inquired about the thoughts of the current emperor.

The messenger impeached the hundreds of officials above the court, and the emperor Long Yan was angry, and several people all had a small calculation in their hearts.

The emperor's decree to let himself introspect is clearly to see how he repents and then decides how to punish the crime.

It doesn't matter how to deal with the daughter who is not successful, and this is just a reason, and this crime can be big or small.

Mo Guhan sent a minister who went to the king of Xi'an to announce the decree, and he secretly had a friendship with the king of Xi'an.

The king of Xi'an asked for guidance.

The minister did not hide it, and told the king of Xi'an bluntly: "Although the emperor has no intention of withdrawing the feudal domain, he has always been afraid of the military power in the hands of the king of Nanling, and has long intended to reduce it." As the saying goes, the tree is big, and that's what it means. The emperor's move should have the intention of reducing military power. ”

The king of Xi'an couldn't help but be stunned: "If I hand over the military power, won't I become a lamb to the slaughter?" ”

The minister snorted disdainfully: "Could it be that you can compete with the imperial court with this little soldier and horse in your hand?" Can you resist General Taiping's 30,000 Taiping troops? Those flesh and blood bodies can resist the power of Zhuge Bow and Crossbow? ”

The King of Xi'an was stunned again, remembering the secret report he received a few days ago: "Is the bow and crossbow that Han Yuchu improved really that exaggerated?" ”

The minister squinted: "Do you know that when the queen was seriously injured this year, the Xiliang people exchanged blood ginseng for Chang'an's three thousand bows and crossbows?" ”

King Xi'an nodded.

"A blood ginseng can bring the dead back to life, but the lord of Xiliang is old and frail, but he is willing to give up the blood ginseng and change the bow and crossbow, do you know why?"

The King of Xi'an shook his head.

"Xiliang also has its own civil strife, and the old emperor has gradually become uncontrollable, and he sees that the country is not guaranteed. In exchange for 3,000 bows and crossbows, he showed his earth-shattering power in front of those county kings who were eyeing the throne, and he turned his power around and set the day. That was the first batch of developments. Now after the improvement, the power can be imagined. ”

The king of Xi'an was jealous and was silent for a long time.

"The emperor didn't say that it would be easy to reduce military power, even if it was to withdraw the feudal domain. Since he is willing to preserve the power and wealth of your king of Xi'an, why don't you do it? What's the use of you raising so many soldiers and horses, isn't it just for the sake of the wealth of your descendants? This is the same path. The emperor gives you power, even if you don't have a single soldier, then the people of your fiefdom are also happy and convinced. Contrarily...... Uh-huh, that's all there is to it. ”

This official was even coaxed and frightened, and with his three-inch tongue, he said that the king of Xi'an was stunned.

After thinking about it carefully, it is indeed such a truth, even if you raise a few thousand more soldiers and horses, what is the use? Besides, he is not an opponent of the imperial court, so he can't follow the ass of King Nanling and snort blindly.

The king of Xi'an knew the current affairs, and the first one set an example: the children are arrogant, and it is indeed their own lax discipline, in the final analysis, the disaster of military power, therefore, he is willing to reduce the soldiers and horses under his rule, only half of them are left, and maintain long-term law and order under his rule.

The minister was full of food and drink, took the gold, silver and jewelry bribed by the king of Xi'an, and returned to Beijing to pay his business with satisfaction.

Mo Guhan received the letter of sin from the King of Xi'an, and he was even more happy, and immediately released Dongfang Ying'er to return to the fiefdom, and ordered the soldiers and horses that exceeded the old rules of the ancestors to be incorporated into the imperial army. The king of Xi'an should take this disaster as a lesson, introspect himself every day, and must not disobey again.

When the king of Mobei, who was undecided, heard the news, he naturally understood that his arm could not twist his thigh, and he obediently handed over the military power in order to protect himself.

Only King Nanling was left, who was already isolated at this time, afraid of Chu Mubai's strength, knowing that he was not an opponent, and he could only take the initiative to beg for mercy in order to protect himself, just like the other two vassal kings.

The three county lords all returned to their respective palaces in embarrassment, and carefully explained the cause and effect, the more the vassal kings touched it, the more it was not a taste, and they suddenly felt that something was wrong, and it was clearly someone else's plan to discord. Now that he is ruined, he has lost his wife and broken his soldiers, and he is self-inflicted, and he can't publicize it, so he can only knock out his teeth and swallow blood, and swallow it raw.

In the Qingqiu Palace, Yuehua was leaning on Mo Guhan's body, squinting her eyes, lazy like the fatter and fatter white cat in the arms of the Queen Mother.

Mo Guhan hugged her, picked up the grapes taken from the cellar on the side, carefully peeled the skin, removed the seeds with a toothpick, and stuffed them into her cherry mouth.

Yuehua chewed twice and swallowed, consciously opened her mouth, and waited for Mo Guhan to feed.

The two cherries are delicate and shiny, and when you touch your fingertips, you feel as delicate as petals.

Mo Guhan paused, picked up a little of the grapes in his hand, and Yuehua's lips grew wider, revealing a playful lilac tongue.

Suddenly, there was a blazing heat on his lips, and Mo Guhan's lips had been suppressed.

Yuehua snorted dissatisfiedly, opened his eyes, and stared at the grape in his hand.

For her non-devotion, Mo Guhan's punishment generally increased the force, tossing and turning, and conquering the city.

Yuehua had to succumb to his obscenity, her eyelashes trembled twice, and then closed reluctantly, still thinking about the grape that had not reached her mouth.

Mo Guhan's big slender hands twisted lightly, and the grape that Yuehua was worried about in his hand was gone, and he didn't know where it had rolled down. The lotus root arms like mutton fat and white jade were entwined, and his body was arched, panting.

Mo Guhan originally just wanted to taste it, but a teasing made him want to stop.

With a reversal, he pressed Yuehua under his body, trying to avoid her bulging lower abdomen.

Yuehua's watery eyes were already confused, confused and helpless.

"Leprechaun." Mo Guhan snorted lightly: "Not only can you calculate people, but you can also seduce people." ”

Yuehua's slippery little hand slipped into his open neckline and wrung heavily around his waist.

"Did I drive away the three county lords who were like flowers and jade, and you were unwilling?"

Mo Guhan suddenly felt pain, lowered his head and gnawed on her collarbone in punishment, leaving her with two obvious tooth marks, which made Yuehua can't help but exhale in pain.

"What if you are unwilling? The soldiers have reduced the military power of the three vassal kings without blood, and divided the relationship between them, I can't be provoked, I'm afraid that your little head will turn around and what will I do? ”

Yuehua got up: "If you are unwilling, I will find the three beauties back for you, and I will do more than this with the help of beautiful men." ”

Mo Guhan's big hand pressed her to death: "I just want to know if this beautiful man's plan will work for you?" ”

Yuehua blushed and shook her head categorically: "I face it every day, I'm tired of seeing it for a long time, where is it rare?" ”
