When it's almost ugly.

The second small court meeting of the imperial study of the Zichen Palace was over.

King Xu Zhen of the Jin Dynasty, Shangguan Lu, the first assistant of the cabinet, Yao Yanjin, a scholar of the Jinshen Palace, and other civil and military officials, meritorious dignitaries.

Once again, he followed in the footsteps of the eunuch Chen Gonggong.

Wordlessly, he walked through the magnificent palaces to the noon gate of the palace.

"Slow down, everyone."

"There's Lao Chen's father-in-law."

After a brief greeting, a group of civil and military officials and meritorious dignitaries all silently left the noon gate of the palace.

The figure Fang Yi completely disappeared from the sight of the Mingguang armor warrior at the noon gate.

In the past, a group of civil and military officials and meritorious dignitaries who have always been light and majestic.

At this time, they all silently quickened their pace and walked straight towards the bolted horse.

Not much.

Horse-drawn carriages, which were either calm and rustic, or antique, rushed out of the imperial city one after another.

"Chang'an City tonight."

"I'm afraid it's going to be a lot of fun."

Xu Zhen stood beside the three-yuan green canopy carriage of the Jin Palace, looking at the departing carriage with a solemn look on his face, and muttered in a low voice in his heart.

"Lord?"

After setting up the stool, the coachman of the Jin Wangfu bent down and asked for instructions.

"Ugh."

Xu Zhen's heart was full of mixed feelings, and he sighed deeply.

Immediately, with the support of the palace coachman, he boarded the three-yuan green caravan.

"Let's go."

"Go to Soshoji Temple."

After sitting down in the carriage completely, Xu Zhen immediately commanded.

"Yes, Lord."

The coachman agreed, and then gently whipped and drove away from the imperial city.

Inside the carriage of the three-wheel green canopy.

Xu Zhen leaned on the soft couch of the carriage, his eyes were full of complexity, and he quietly looked out the window at the night of Chang'an through the half-opened curtain.

At this time, the streets and alleys of Chang'an City were less crowded with pedestrians, and there was less noise and excitement with people.

But there is a quiet and peaceful atmosphere that has been precipitated for nearly a thousand years.

However, no matter how quiet and peaceful the night of Chang'an City is at this time.

It couldn't soothe the bitterness in Xu Zhen's heart.

"Lone has already cut off one of his legs."

I don't know how long it took.

Leaning on the soft collapse of the three-way green canopy carriage, he quietly looked out the window at Xu Zhen in the night of Chang'an through the half-lifted curtain.

The corners of his mouth suddenly appeared with a bitter smile full of sadness, and two more tears appeared at the corners of his eyes unconsciously.

God knows that since he learned that the Xiongnu Shan Yu Yizhi and the Xiongnu Zuoxian Prince led the army to the Western Regions and the Western Regions were besieged.

Xu Zhen was so anxious in his heart.

Soon after the end of the small court meeting of the imperial study room of the Zichen Palace.

Xu Zhen even asked to fight in the Western Regions several times.

But they were always blocked by the princelings and the so-called imperialists.

In the end, Emperor Zhengde personally refused on the grounds that "the King of Jin is old and his legs are inconvenient" and "Zongzheng Temple cannot be without a head for a day".

Xu Zhen didn't understand what Emperor Zhengde and the crown prince Xu Yong were worried about.

But.

Don't forget.

He Xu Zhen is the king of the Great Zhou! He is the king who has been in the Western Regions for more than 20 years!

If you talk about the familiarity with the Western Regions.

Who can compare the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty to him in Jinwang Town?!

What's more!

Now sitting in the protector of the Western Regions is his eldest son Xu Jie and second son Xu Ying of King Jinzhen!

And today's Western Regions capital has tens of thousands of Xiongnu, Yanqi, and Gumo allied troops outside the city.

Even in the near future, it is very likely that the Xiongnu Shan Yu Yizhi and the Xiongnu Zuoxian King Wu Wei will personally lead the army to besiege the Western Regions to protect the city.

He is a father.

Aiko is in danger and can't

Help.

You can imagine what it feels like in the heart!

"It's useless for my father."

"It's useless for my father!"

"Jie'er, Ying'er, hold on......"

"You must hold on......

"Yes...... It's going to be fine......

"One ...... It's going to be fine.......

Before he knew it, Xu Zhen's eyes were completely blurred.

Faintly.

Xu Zhen seemed to see an extremely familiar figure.

The figure was extremely tall and tall, dressed in a black robe, with a knife, a seal and a card hanging from his waist, his face was slightly haggard, and his chin was full of messy beard.

"My nephew never wanted to take the title of Chenliujun."

"Second Uncle has ever seen a three-hundred-year-old dynasty?"

"Second uncle, there is no root of a three-hundred-year-old dynasty in the world, it lies in the class solidification in the middle and late dynasties."

"The consolidation of class has directly led to the family becoming more and more powerful."

"And if the family is strong, the people are weak, and if the people are weak, the country is weak."

"If the country is weak, the family is strong, this is a cycle, an extremely bad cycle."

「......」

「.......」

"If you want to continue the national ancestry, in my nephew's opinion."

"There are only two paths."

"One, change the law."

"Through change, we will reopen an upward channel for people with lofty ideals in the world, so as to break the class monopoly of the family."

"Second, the country will die first, and then the country will be restored."

"Eliminate most of the family gate valves by external force, so as to return all the wealth such as land and property that the family gate valve has encroached upon to the people of the world."

"Although this road is destined to be a river of blood, if it is successful, it will definitely be able to renew the Great Zhou Dynasty for another 300 years!"

Xu Yi's voice kept echoing in Xu Zhen's mind.

In a trance, Xu Zhen seemed to return to the day when Xu Yi returned to Beijing for disaster relief.

Xu Yi on that day.

Although his face is tired.

But his eyes are extraordinarily bright.

It was that day.

The uncle and nephew sat opposite each other and talked about the general trend of the world.

It was that day.

Xu Yi pointed out the fact that the Great Zhou Guozuo was about to die.

And pointed out two clear paths for the already decaying Great Zhou Dynasty.

One is change, and the other is the first to die and then to recover.

However.

Limited by various factors such as the current situation in the court and the general trend of the world.

Xu Yi didn't have enough conditions at all, and he didn't have enough time to slowly plot the court and Xu Yong to compete for the throne.

Thus completely dominating the Great Zhou Dynasty to a more gentle path of reform than the second way.

So.

Xu Yi did not hesitate to abandon the prince of Chenliujun in the rich land, and chose the prince of Yan in the bitter cold land of the border pass.

"Yi'er."

"Second Uncle...... Second uncle is useless."

"Second Uncle can't even protect Jie'er and Ying'er now."

"Again....... How can I help you.......

"Two...... Second uncle is useless.......

Thinking of this, Xu Zhen's eyes couldn't help but become more and more blurred.

Even the leg, which had been healed for several years, was in a dull pain again.

.......

.......

Unconsciously.

The three-yuan green canopy carriage of the Jin Wangfu is already close to the Zongzheng Temple.

"Lord Wang."

"I've arrived at Soshoji Temple."

When the carriage had come to a complete stop, the coachman jumped out of the carriage and immediately handed over the report

。

"Okay."

Inside the three-yuan green canopy carriage of the Jin Palace.

Xu Zhen gradually came back to his senses, and after responding lightly, he immediately washed away the tears on his face with tea.

Dozens of breaths later.

Xu Zhen stepped off the three-yuan green canopy carriage with the support of the coachman, and then walked straight towards the Zongzheng Temple.

"My subordinates meet Da Zongzheng."

"My subordinates meet Da Zongzheng."

Seeing this, the messenger who was on duty in front of the main gate of Zongzheng Temple hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.

"A lone lantern."

Xu Zhen nodded slightly, and then opened his mouth to command.

"Yes."

Hearing this, the chief officer hurriedly saluted again, and then quickly took a lantern.

"Good students on duty."

"Don't disturb others' rest."

After Xu Zhen took the lantern and gave a brief advice, he immediately walked towards the Zongzheng Temple.

"Yes."

Hearing this, the officer on duty hurriedly saluted again.

Xu Zhen held the lantern and walked straight past the duty officer, and then walked in the huge Zongzheng Temple without delay.

Two or three quarters of an hour later.

Xu Zhen stopped in front of the main gate of a small courtyard.

Leaned over and pried open a bluestone slab in front of the door, and took out several keys from it.

Then he opened the courtyard door and walked straight towards the small courtyard study.

Not much.

Xu Zhen gently pushed open the door of the study in the small courtyard, and then stepped in with a lantern in his hand.

Dozens of breaths later.

Several warm yellow candles gradually illuminated the entire courtyard study.

Xu Zhen extinguished the candle in his hand and returned it to the lantern.

Then he walked to the bookcase, and finally sat down on the Taishi chair.

"Now."

"It seems that there is only so much that the second uncle can do for you."

Xu Zhen leaned back on the Taishi chair in the study, and looked at the treasures placed on the bookshelf on one side of the study with extremely complicated eyes.

Without exception.

The treasures on the bookshelves in this study are all from the Yanwang Mansion.

Since accidentally learning that Xu Yi has become a seller.

Xu Zhen secretly ordered someone to buy it back.

All the treasures purchased are stored in this study.

In order to wait for the day when Xu Yi returns to Chang'an, Beijing.

Able to give it an unexpected surprise.

And this small courtyard is the Youning Courtyard of Zongzheng Temple where Xu Yi has lived for eight years.

"Ugh."

I don't know how long it took.

Xu Zhen, who was leaning back on the Taishi chair in the study, suddenly sighed heavily.

Then slowly straighten his body, take some water and place it in the dry inkstone of the bookcase.

Then take an ink ingot and grind it finely.

After the ink was thick and appropriate, Xu Zhen immediately laid a piece of paper.

Pick up the pen on the white rice paper and write a letter in secret language without delay.

In the first half of the secret letter.

Xu Zhen focused on the two small court meetings in the imperial study room of the Zichen Palace today.

Such as the Huns negotiated peace.

The Xiongnu opened his mouth to the imperial court to ask for the land of Shuofang, Wuyuan, and Yunzhong counties.

and asking for a princess, and pointing out a large number of dowries.

For example, the situation in the Western Regions has changed greatly.

The Xiongnu Shan Yu Yizhi and the Xiongnu Zuoxian King Wu Wei personally led a large army to the Western Regions.

He is now Chen Bing Qiuzi abroad.

and Yanqi and Gumo rebelled against Zhou and returned to Hungary, and besieged the capital of the Western Regions with the Hun cavalry.

And the second half of MeSign.

Xu Zhen focused on the policies discussed by the imperial court against the enemy.

For example, Peng Jianfeng, the governor of the five armies, and the right governor of the Central Army, is the general of Anxi.

He led 30,000 troops to reinforce the Western Regions to protect the city.

Such as worshipping the front army of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies

Chu Xingyong, the governor of the left capital, was the general of Zhenbei.

He led 30,000 troops to reinforce Mobei.

For example, the five kings of the border pass were ordered to send 5,000 troops to Mobei again.

For example, in order to raise money and grain, the imperial court will collect taxes in advance in the autumn and taxes in the first half of next year.

For example, Emperor Zhengde ordered the crown prince Xu Yong, the first assistant of the cabinet, Shangguan Lu, and the governor of the five armies, Shao Xuanda, the left governor of the central army.

Following the shame monument of disaster relief merits he erected earlier, he set up a three-sided merit monument for the clan, the civil and military families.

Two or three quarters of an hour later.

The pen stops the book.

Xu Zhen put down the wolf pen in his hand and carefully reviewed the secret letter in front of him with a solemn face.

After making sure that it is correct.

Xu Zhen immediately put it away, put it in an envelope, and completely sealed it with fire paint and other materials.

"Smack. Smack".

After the secret letter was thoroughly handled, Xu Zhen immediately slapped his palm.

Dozens of breaths later.

Suddenly, there was a faint sound of footsteps outside the closed study door.

"Knock knock."

In the candlelight, a black figure knocked softly on the closed study door.

"Enter."

"Yes."

After hearing Xu Zhen's answer, the black figure gently pushed open the door and stepped in.

"A, meet the master."

The black figure walked three steps away from the bookcase, then stopped and bowed deeply.

"Send these secret letters to the Yan Palace."

"Be sure to hand it over to Yi'er yourself."

Xu Zhen stood up from the Taishi chair, and then picked up the secret letter and walked towards the armor of the Ten Heavenly Dry Secret Guard.

"Obey!"

Hearing this, A immediately leaned over again and bowed his hand, and then took the secret letter from Xu Zhen's hand with both hands.

"This time when you go to Yandi, you must be cautious and cautious."

"If you can't do anything, you must destroy the secret letter as soon as possible."

"Do not let it fall into the hands of another."

Xu Zhen patted the shoulder of the dark guard with a solemn face, and then solemnly commanded.

"Obey!"

Hearing this, the Dark Guard immediately bowed again.

Not much.

The Darkguard retreated with the secret message.

After the figure of the dark guard completely disappeared in the study of the small courtyard.

Xu Zhen sighed wordlessly again in his heart.

Then extinguish the candle in the study room of the small courtyard.

Walked away from the study in the small courtyard.

.......

.......

Nothing was said all night.

Around noon the next day.

Prince Xu Yong ordered people to erect a monument of merit in front of Zongzheng Temple.

And set an example by taking out 10,000 taels of silver and being honored at the head of the clan merit monument.

Prince Xu Yong's move undoubtedly set the tone for this merit monument.

Subsequently.

As the only existing prince of Qizhu in Zongzheng Temple and the Great Zhou Dynasty, King Xu Zhen of Jin.

He then took out nine thousand taels of silver.

In the days that followed.

All the Zhou clans in Beijing have successively brought silver money to Zongzheng Temple.

Meanwhile.

Shangguan Lu, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Shao Xuanda, the governor of the Central Army of the Fifth Army, successively erected two merit monuments of the following and Wu.

And set an example by taking out 8,000 taels of silver to top the list of two merit monuments of Wen and Wu.

In the days that followed.

None of the Chinese military officials were spared, and all of them were involved in the merit monument incident.

Where is the fifth grade or above Beijing officials.

More than 1,000 taels of silver were donated, and less than 1,000 taels of silver.

Where is the fifth grade below the Beijing official.

More donated nearly 1,000 taels of silver, and less donated dozens of taels of silver.

Time.

The people of the capital talked about it after tea and dinner

It's a monument of merit.

And all those who are officials in Beijing are full of complaints in private.

Among them, low-grade officials are the most.

Be in the most prosperous place in a country.

It is not easy to live with low power and low power.

How many people are willing to donate?

But what ......

After all, it is the trend of the times.......

How can you resist and dare to resist?

This time, the clan, literature, and martial arts monuments.

It seems that the treasury of the Great Zhou is full of a lot.

But in fact, blessings and misfortunes depend on them, and disasters and blessings depend on them.

At the same time as the treasury of the Great Zhou was full.

The national fortunes of the Great Zhou Dynasty are also correspondingly decreasing.

Decameron.

One after another, the holy decrees left Beijing at the same time.

Quickly rushed to the counties of the Great Zhou in an expedited way of eight hundred miles.

And the final five decrees of the weight.

The five eunuchs in the palace carried the royal honor guard.

They went to the places where the five kings of Yan, Liao, and Dai were located.
