Chaoyang City in Beizhou is the second largest city in Beizhou, the prosperity here is completely different from Lin'an and the south, if the south is the kind of literati, elegant and dignified, then Lin'an is extravagant, popular, and Beizhou is the desolation of the desert and lonely smoke. Because Beizhou is located in the north and close to the wilderness, the people here basically practice martial arts, and some poor families want their children to enlist in the army and achieve military achievements.

Since ancient times, the saying that the north is famous and the south is a bachelor has lasted for 500 years in the Great Song Dynasty, and the most important thing is that Emperor Taizu was the voice of Beizhou, so Beizhou is of great significance to the Great Song Dynasty.

In the logistics official mansion of Guyan City, the central city of Yunzhou, the eldest prince stood in the courtyard and looked at the sky, and Lin Lao was still drinking the best tea.

"Your Highness, what else are you worried about?" said Lin Lao with a smile.

The eldest prince was silent, still looking at the sky, although he had approved the secret sending of his own people to visit his father, but he always felt a little uneasy in his heart.

"The Northern War Daomen used despicable means to cut off the logistics of my Great Song Dynasty, although the Supervision Yuan stopped it, but I always felt that there was something uneasy," the eldest prince looked at the sky and said.

Lin Lao was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then put down the teacup in his hand and looked at the eldest prince and was silent, because it was impossible for the Dao Sect to give up like this, and the five adjudicating priests died, as well as countless ordinary Qingyi Dao robe cultivators.

"Your Highness, I think I'm asking the Feng King," Lin Lao said.

After hearing this, the eldest prince nodded, after all, King Feng and the Supervision Yuan are the best to contain the Qingtian Divine Sect cultivators, and the most important thing is that the logistics of the Great Song Dynasty cannot be broken, if the wilderness tribe counterattacks and recaptures the bloodstained plain, the Great Song will no longer be able to step into the wilderness for half a step.

....

.........

Although autumn has arrived, the heat has not abated, and the autumn tiger continues to envelop the world like a nightmare.

It is more appropriate to have countless small families in Chaoyang City in Beizhou or to become a prominent family, and these families naturally cannot be compared with the Yunzhou family back then. Especially after the failure of the Yunzhou family's rebellion and the Great Song Dynasty showed their fangs, these Beizhou families were even more cautious, and whether it was the Beizhou family or the other few weeks, the family would send their disciples to the academy to study and practice.

Although the Great Song Dynasty and the Confucian Academy were still not as influential as the academy in the Great Song Dynasty, the influence of the academy was to deter the existence of forces such as Daomen.

Chaoyang City is not big, but it is not lower than the central square, and behind it is the Chaoyang Mansion, and on the left and right sides of the square are the mansions of countless families. Although the land in Chaoyang City is not a valuable land, the family that can buy a mansion around the square can be said to be extremely wealthy.

The right side of the square is the Xia Mansion with the first family in Beizhou, so the Xia family can be called the first family in Beizhou, because the ancestor of the Xia family was the most important general of the Emperor Taizu of the Great Song Dynasty, and although the eight famous generals of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the Xia family is ranked fifth, but the prestige is still not necessarily bad for the top four famous generals.

Xia Mansion covers an extremely wide area, the decoration is extremely luxurious, although now the Xia family has someone in the court, but it is far from as brilliant as it was back then, but the hereditary position of the marquis is extremely precious, the princes of the Great Song Dynasty can get the hereditary title except for the children of the royal family, and the other side is the founder of the country.

The backyard of the summer mansion is like the spring in the south, and the sky is full of flowers and trees, all of which are the most precious existences, and the construction of the courtyard stream is to invite the famous craftsmen of the south to repair.

In the courtyard in the center of the backyard, a middle-aged man and a young man are playing a game of chess, the middle-aged man holds the black child, the young man holds the white child, and on the chessboard, the black child occupies the general trend, and the white child struggles at the end.

Finally, after a long time, the young man threw a white son to admit defeat, and the middle-aged man was happy that he did not win the chess game.

"You didn't do well this time," the middle-aged man said majestically, and the middle-aged identity was Xia Yi, who was now the head of the Xia Mansion and the hereditary marquis.

The young man was silent, but his face showed an extremely respectful look, and his body trembled slightly when he heard Xia Yi's words, and the identity of the young man was Xia Yi's eldest son, Xia Xuan, the young head of the Xia family.

Xia Yi got up and didn't look at Xia Xuan, but looked at the sky and said, "My Xia family has been loyal and good for generations, but this time you want to disgrace the Xia family."

Xia Yi's words revealed a coercion, this majesty is not like the emperor, but it stopped in Xia Yi's ears like a thunderbolt, Xia Yi is the most outstanding head of the Xia family, and there is always a look of self-esteem, even those old people of the Xia family are a little afraid of Xia Yi.

Xia Xuan still didn't speak, but his body trembled more and more, and his father's words hit his heart like a heavenly might.

"Your second brother entered the military family and is now on the northern front, your third brother entered the Confucian academy to study with a patriarch of the Senate, and your fourth brother has the best talent to be admitted to the front yard of the academy, I think you should know this," Xia Yi said.

After hearing this, the sweat on Xia Xuan's forehead wet the white robe on his body like a pulp, and his body trembled, his father's arrangement for his brothers can be said to have started a long time ago, and now although the Xia family is not as good as the ancestor back then, it is still brilliant, but his father's ambition is to let the Xia family take a step forward.

In addition to the prince, the princes of the Great Song Dynasty are dukes, marquises, viscounts, and barons, and the princes are only three hereditary princes with foreign surnames in addition to the royal children. And they were all great contributors to the founding of the country with Emperor Taizu, and my father wanted to make the Xia family title a duke so that he could be closer to the high-level power of the Great Song Dynasty.

Although the position of the marquis is also extremely prominent, there is still no way for these to enter the highest level of power in the Great Song Dynasty, because there are countless dukes in Lin'an City, not to mention the marquis's carp that crosses the river.

"Father, I was wrong," Xia Xuan said as he knelt on the ground with his head down, his voice revealing fear and helplessness.

Xia Yi looked at the sky, sighed slightly, and said, "You are the next head of the Xia family, how can you only care about the immediate interests, I will give you time to deal with it, if you don't handle it well, you can leave the Xia family by yourself" After speaking, he left the courtyard and left the backyard.

Xia Xuan straightened his father's footsteps and left the backyard before raising his head, and then his whole body lost his strength and leaned on the stone pier, Xia Xuan looked at the sky, and his heart was extremely complicated, but he didn't expect that since the matter had been revealed.

All the noble families in Beizhou are teaching their children a lesson, of course, some of them are expelling the disciples who participated in the incident, the children of the Beizhou family colluded with the government to make a lot of war money, and some people bullied other people's fields, and some officials who were greedy and perverted the law in the past were even more afraid.

"It's going to change the sky," Liaoyang City Taishou Wu Shuo said as he looked at the sky.

Wu Shuo, as the only Confucian who served today, knew that the children of the Yunzhou family had colluded with some officials in the past hundred years, but he could not say that it was not because of his official position but because of the stability of the Great Song Dynasty.

It is impossible for the Great Song Dynasty to be corrupt and pervert the law for a hundred years, just because the Great Song Dynasty Imperial Court and the Supervision Yuan are simply unable to make a more detailed investigation, and the other reason is that the existence of forces such as the Qingtian Divine Sect has restrained most of the energy of the Great Song Dynasty. And now, with the outbreak of northern warriors, the Great Song Dynasty court and the Supervision Yuan have finally strengthened the investigation of some things in Beizhou, and the collusion between the children of the family and the government, and the corruption of some officials have finally been exposed.

Even if things are hidden, there are flaws, and the existence of the Great Song Supervision Institute is to see this flaw.

When wave after wave of investigation teams composed of young officials from the logistics government in Liaoyang City went to various government offices in Yunzhou to collude with the children of the family, at the same time, a group of cronies of the eldest prince led by Fan Yao also quietly left Liaoyang City.

At the same time, the Daomen powerhouse of Jintong County in the south temporarily left because of the failure of the attack on the second prince, and the battle between Zhao Feng and Ye Wudao ended in a sloppy moment after only fighting.

The second prince sat in the official mansion of Jintong City and took over the position of Taishou and controlled the entire Jintong County, and the young man of the sixth realm beside the second prince was also in the main hall at this time. Although the attack of the Daomen gave the second prince great fear, these still could not shake the heart of the second prince, and the young man's injuries had healed, and he was almost bored looking at the sky.

"What are these young officials going to do," the young man asked boredly, looking at the sky.

The second prince smiled and said, "Purple, what do you think?"

Zi looked back at the second prince and smiled slightly and said, "I don't understand this, I only protect the safety of His Highness."

The second prince smiled and did not speak, and continued to look at the paper in his hand, although Jintong County is now under the Great Song Dynasty, there is still a shortage of officials. Moreover, after the rebellion of the southern countries, the population was sparse and unable to form a regular army, so the royal family sent some new generals and some new Confucian promotions.

The second prince even saw some information given by the imperial court, and selected his cronies to cultivate.

Before the main gate of the Buddha Capital, the main road leading to the palace has been cleared, and the carriage of the Seven Princes is parked at the main gate and quietly waits for the arrival of the Prime Minister of the Buddha Kingdom.
