There are four gates in Huayang City, the three gates of the east, west and north are all open for twelve hours, but the south gate is closed all the year round, not open to the people, only open to the people of the government. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Rong Tieyi and Wei Shen sat outside a tavern at the east entrance, ordered a table of fish and meat, and ate happily.

Wei Shen smashed the duck to him, and Rong Tieyi didn't blame him much, because he was already planning to leave Huangyang Town, and this time he just ordered a few more good dishes, regardless of whether Wei Shen was distressed or not, he could afford to eat.

Although this tavern is located at the gate of the city, this location is a bit too partial, and people who enter the city generally can't see this place, and the wine in this tavern is not an authentic good wine, but an extremely spicy spirit, which no one likes, so it is no wonder that the business of the tavern at noon is also deserted.

The shopkeeper of the tavern is an old couple, who have no children and no daughters, and fortunately the business in the tavern is light, otherwise there are too many people to be busy.

Wei Shen is the only one who likes the wine here, the reason is because he quarreled with his father in the city last year, and then he bumped into the city, and when he was hungry on the road, he found this tavern, ordered food and wine, and that was the first time he drank, and he fell in love with the taste of this spicy wine in his throat.

After Wei Shen drank a glass of wine, he shook his head comfortably, and he said to Rong Tieyi, "The Black Tiger Iron Riders who came in from the city gate before, do you know who they brought back?"

Rong Tieyi raised his eyes lightly, thinking to himself that I watched the one who took him down the mountain with my own eyes, I still don't know who it is? Suddenly interested again, he asked Wei Shen, "Then you know again?"

Wei Shen said with a smug face, "Of course I know. ”

Rong Tieyi picked up a large piece of duck meat with chopsticks, stuffed it into his mouth and muttered, "Then you should talk about it." ”

Wei Shen poured himself another glass unhurriedly, and only after drinking it did he say, "You guess first." ”

Rong Tieyi looked impatient, "Don't guess, you say." ”

Wei Shen felt a little disappointed, and waved his hand, "Cut, it is this daughter of King Qiyang, Zhao Ying, who is sitting in that carriage." ”

Rong Tieyi raised his head suddenly, and said in surprise, "How do you know?"

This Rong Tieyi knew that Zhao Ying was sitting in the carriage, and that was because he saw it with his own eyes, so how did Wei Shen know?

Wei Shen's face was slightly red, as if he was a little drunk, Rong Tieyi took a sip, he was about to drink a glass, this was not good for drinking, and at this moment, even the reaction became a little sluggish.

He said unhurriedly, "Just you stupid spores, how many things can you know about the things in the city?" Then Zhao Ying was forced to marry by King Qiyang, and she ran outside in the past three days, I have seen it a few times, who else can make this black tiger iron ride out to find someone." ”

Rong Tieyi almost choked on a sip of wine and didn't spray it on Wei Shen's face.

"Forced marriage?"

"That's right, let me tell you, this court has already had a plan to cut the domain, and now it is the second time to reduce the fief of King Qiyang, and it is clearly to attack Zhao Heng, King of Qiyang. ”

Rong Tieyi frowned slightly, and looked around, Rong Tieyi never thought that they could discuss this kind of thing.

Who knew that Wei Shen waved his hand, "Cut, look at you like that, who doesn't know this Huayang City now, King Qiyang wants to marry his beautiful daughter Zhao Ying to the stupid son of King Liushan, isn't it just to rely on the status of King Liushan in the court and keep his position as a king with a different surname? Hey, in the final analysis, this King of Qiyang is just a bad seed, not to mention that the court is not afraid of him, even if it is us little people." ”

Suddenly, Wei Shen paused, looked ahead, and saw a group of patrolling officers and soldiers coming from the side of the city wall at this moment, Wei Shen immediately closed his mouth, smashed his eyes twice, and said, "This, let's talk about this later." ”

Rong Tieyi smiled disdainfully, glanced at the old couple in the tavern in the house, and then looked back at the officers and soldiers in the city who slowly walked outside the door.

Now the most lively thing in the city is the reduction of the fiefdom of King Qiyang by the imperial court.

The world of the Xinyan Dynasty was divided into four parts, Qingniu Prefecture in Kyoto, Huangzhou in the Western Regions, Liangzhou in Beiping, and then Liuli Prefecture where the King of Qiyang was located.

The four vassal kings of the dynasty each occupy a place in the four states, among which the only one with a different surname, Qiyang King Zhao Heng, is the weakest, although the imperial court initially limited its strength to no more than 250,000, but now this Qiyang King has been doing it for almost 20 years, and there are still only 200,000 troops, and half of them are miscellaneous soldiers.

Although the Black Tiger Iron Cavalry is brave and good at fighting, and its fame is far and wide, it is only 50,000 after all, and the grasshopper can shake the tree once, then there will be no second time, and the threat to the Qinling Dynasty is greatly reduced.

For the first time, the imperial court reduced the land of King Qiyang by one million mu, and this time it directly reduced the land of King Qiyang by five million mu, which directly reduced the boundary of King Qiyang by thirty percent.

In this way, the next step is to take off the hat of King Qiyang.

The king with a different surname has always been the most criticized high position in the dynasty, and the king of Qiyang has been scolded for a lifetime in the court for his life.

Besides, the power of the other three vassal kings is getting stronger and stronger, and the move against King Qiyang is actually to prevent the actions of the other three vassal kings.

Among the other three vassal kings, the strongest is the Liushan King of Liangzhou in Beiping, with nearly 800,000 troops, as the vassal king guarding the border pass, his subordinates have countless fierce generals, and the soldiers are brave and easy to kill, which is the first in the dynasty, and the strength has reached the point where he is not afraid of the imperial court.

King Liushan was brutal by nature and had always been at odds with the imperial court and several other vassal kings, and with a large amount of military power in his hands, if something went wrong, it would have a great impact on the entire Xinyan Dynasty.

And King Qiyang was cowardly by nature, and he was worried that his status would not be guaranteed, so he tried every means to climb into a big relationship with King Liushan.

King Liushan has a total of three sons, the boss is amazingly powerful, often shuttles through the chaos on the battlefield to take the head of the enemy general, and has made countless achievements.

The second child is resourceful, follows the eldest brother to the frontier of the border, fights wits and courage with the forces of the Qinling Dynasty, and is also a generation of heroes.

However, the third brother is no different from the two brothers, he is idle all day long, and he does all kinds of evil in Tianxiang City, Liangzhou, Beiping, and he is a complete and famous person.

And the family affair that this King of Qiyang climbed up to was married to the youngest son of the King of Liushan.

Zhao Ying is not only beautiful, but also quick-witted, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is a rare talented girl.

King Liushan hoped that his youngest son would be sensible as soon as possible, and he was very happy to agree to this family business.

And what is even happier is naturally this King of Qiyang, once he has the backer of King Liushan, presumably even if the court wants to fight his idea again, it will have to be weighed more.

It's just that King Qiyang, who has been criticized by the people a lot, is now scolded even worse among the people, and most of the people are also lamenting for this Zhao Ying.

The three sons of the King of Liushan, the eldest and the second are all the proud sons of heaven respected by the people, but the third is the only one who is seven points similar to the King of Liushan, and they all occupy this temper and character, and their minds do not score a single point.

According to legend, the women who died in his bed all had a hand, and the people shook their heads and sighed, afraid that Zhao Ying was also going to become the crotch plaything of the youngest son of the King of Liushan.
