"Your Majesty, others can be defeated, but Your Majesty cannot be defeated, not once." In the Xia Inner Palace, the right servant of Shangshu Province shot Hong Wuji and said to Yang Yuan.

At the Xia Dynasty meeting, Zheng Yixin, the sacrificial wine of the East Pavilion, proposed that he would take advantage of the civil strife in Yan to march into the Northern Expedition on a large scale, recover the Central Plains, and restore the ancestors of Jiangshan Sheji, but the high-ranking and powerful Hong Wuji reprimanded him, and the matter was "discussed again", and it can be said that it is over.

After the court meeting, Hong Wuji was afraid that Emperor Xia Yang Yuan would have doubts again, for fear that this matter would make waves again, so he met Yang Yuan overnight.

In fact, Hong Wuji didn't want to go on the Northern Expedition, recover the Central Plains, and restore his ancestors, Hong Wuji's whole family was killed by the Yan army, and this revenge has not yet been avenged. But revenge is less important than the struggle for power and profit.

At this time, the Xia court was basically two factions or two parties contending, that is, the Beigui Party and the Jiangdong Party.

Of course, the Jiangdong Party is a big family living in the land of Jiangdong, and the Beigui Party is the northern family.

There were no eggs under the nest, Luoyang fell, and the dynasty overturned. In order to save their lives and protect their families, they left their hometowns and moved their families south, and most of them came to the rich and stable land of Jiangdong.

The northern clans have accumulated strength and regained the glory of the family, of course, there is an irreconcilable contradiction with the "land snakes", the southern clans who have worked and operated in the land of Jiangdong for many years.

The cake is so big, the northern clan will share more, and the southern clan will of course share less. Why do the southern clans who keep their families and are unemployed want to give you a piece of the pie to the northern clans?

At the beginning of the Xia court, the Jiangdong court moved to Jiangdong, and in order to resist the invasion of Hu Di in the north, the two sides could also unite and jointly resist the enemy. Hu Di in the north is eyeing the tiger and may go south at any time. The blind confrontation and struggle between the northern and southern clans, and the incessant war in the Jiangdong region, have done all kinds of harm to both sides.

But at this time, Xia and Yan made peace, and the war rested for a while, and the two sides began to fight again.

The focus of breaking free is the interests of land and other aspects, and those in high positions and positions of power can of course grab more land and interests.

Emperor Yang Yuan of Xia adopted a strategy of both wooing and suppressing the Jiangdong clan, but he adopted a strategy of support for the northern clan. The reason is that the Jiangdong clan has deep roots and has threatened the throne, and there was once a Jiangdong clan that raised troops in the name of "Qingjun Side", almost subverting Yang Yuan's throne, Yang Yuan was naturally deeply afraid, and it could even be said that he was afraid of the power of the Jiangdong clan.

There are constant internal disputes in Yan, why is this not the case in Xia?

The northern clans continued to erode the interests of the Jiangdong clans in terms of land and other aspects, making the Jiangdong clans hate them like enemies.

The unwillingness and unwillingness of the Huo family of the Jiangdong clan to marry their daughter Huo Wanrou to Hong Wuji is a concentrated embodiment of this contradiction.

The Jiangdong clan re-mentioned the Northern Expedition and regained their homeland, which was nothing more than to take the opportunity to reshuffle the cards, strengthen their power, and seize power.

Aren't you northern tribes going to restore your homeland? It's best that you all go to the Northern Expedition, and it's best that you all die under Hu Di's iron cavalry, and you don't have to rob us of our land.

Yang Yuan nodded when he heard this.

Hong Wuji's words are very reasonable, and he basically thinks about Yang Yuan, at least Yang Yuan thinks so.

Those people can be officials no matter whether they are victorious or defeated, the difference is whether they are officials in Yan or Xia, and once Yang Yuan is defeated, does his emperor still have to be an official? When the time comes, I am afraid that the throne will not be guaranteed, and my life will be in danger.

"Your Majesty, recuperate and recuperate, in order to move forward, this is a long-term plan, and you need to plan it slowly." Hong Wuji said again: "And if the emperor's heir does not succeed, it will be a major matter for the country!"

Yang Yuan is not infertile, but quite fertile, but he gave birth to seven or eight princesses in one go, but there is no prince, and the throne is not inherited, in this dynasty, it is indeed a big deal.

"Hey, Hong Qing, this matter... There's nothing to be done." Yang Yuan was told by Hong Wuji that his heart hurt, and he couldn't help but sigh.

For this matter, Yang Yuan has even said that whoever can give birth to a prince will be appointed as a concubine, or even become a queen. But the concubines in the harem are connected

Even gave birth to a princess, but no one could give birth to a prince.

"Your Majesty, don't worry!" Hearing this, Hong Wuji said, "Pick! His Majesty may appoint the children of the ministers and below to prepare for the six palaces. Before the choice is completed, the right to break the marriage is forbidden."

The concubines in the palace could not give birth to a prince, so they could choose the daughters of the ministers as concubines, and the daughters of the common people as palace maids. Spread the net, there is always one who can give birth to a prince, right?

Hong Wuji's words also have the intention of revenge on the Huo family and Huo Wanrou.

Aren't you unwilling to marry me? Then let you enter the palace, as for the fate after entering the palace, it depends on your own creation.

There are tens of thousands of palace maids, among which there are very few who are prosperous or have a good death.

"Hong Qing..." Yang Yuan asked with some hesitation when he heard this, "This move... Will it arouse the criticism of the courtiers?"

The selection is also the draft, which will inevitably cause a lot of chickens and dogs to jump in the Great Xia Kingdom.

All the ministers or folk women are selected to enter the palace, and beautiful and high-quality women are selected to serve the emperor in the palace, whether they are selected or not, the fate of their women is bound to be extremely bleak.

In the process of selection, there will inevitably be incidents such as robbery and bribery.

"Your Majesty, there are critics of all ages, but my holy dynasty cannot be without an heir for a day." Hong Wuji replied.

"Qing's words are great, Qing's loyalty, I know." Yang Yuan nodded when he heard this.

So the Great Xia Kingdom selected 3,000 beauties from Wuzhong as a harem.

．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．

"Your Majesty, there is one more important matter." Hong Wuji seemed to be a little hesitant and a little apprehensive, and finally said to Yang Yuan.

"What?" Yang Yuan asked when he heard this.

"Do you still have soldiers in your Majesty's hands?" Hong Wuji asked.

Hearing this, Yang Yuan's face first showed a hint of horror, and then he sighed helplessly.

The soldiers and horses of the Great Xia Kingdom were mainly composed of the soldiers of the feudal towns and the private soldiers of the major families. In the event of war, they will send troops together.

What Hong Wuji said about no soldiers does not mean that Yang Yuan has no emperor's personal army in his hands, but the Imperial Forest Army is only tens of thousands, which is nothing compared with the soldiers of various feudal towns and the private soldiers of major families.

Hong Wuji's meaning is to first collect the military power of each feudal town, and then collect the military power of the major families, but this matter is a dangerous matter, and it needs to be cautious.

．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．．

Sanssouci Valley is located in the depths of Xiangfan East Mountain, the whole East Mountain, towering and splendid, Bixi clear spring, bright and quiet, and the altitude of Qingyuan Mountain is not high, the highest place is more than 200 zhang.

Sanssouci Valley, which is located in the East Mountain, is covered tightly by dense green bamboo, which covers the sky, and the wind roars like a piano, which is cool and elegant.

Sitting on the stone bench in the Sanssouci Valley, listening to the sound of the gurgling stream, looking at the lush green bamboo, it seems to be a fairyland on earth, so as to forget the troubles of the world.

The fairy air in the fairy cave is surrounding, and the ordinary dust is forgotten in the worry-free valley.

"Whoa!" With a bang, an old man sitting by the stream in the valley, wearing a coarse cloth robe, held a fishing rod, pulled a fat fish out of the water and threw it on the grass, and the fat fish fluttered on the grass.

"Tap... Tap... Tap..."

As he stretched out his hand to catch the fish, the sound of horses' hooves broke the silence of the valley.

Lao Su looked at Taniguchi in annoyance, only to see a young Xia general who was not yet thirty years old galloping towards with a few followers.

"Min Dudu, why are you here again?" The uninvited guest was the governor of Xia Xiangfan, the fake Jieyue, the general of Zhenwei Min Wuyan, and the old man was Zhang Huchen, who had already returned to seclusion, Zhang Huchen asked.

"I haven't been here a few times, and the old general is bored?" Min Wuyan turned over and dismounted, threw the horsewhip to his entourage, and said with a smile.

"Hehe, it's just in time, let's try the old man's craftsmanship." Zhang Huchen glared at Min Wuyan, shook the fish basket and said.

"Old general, I'm not in the mood to eat fish down here." Min Wuyan smiled bitterly when he heard this.

"What happened

Finish? So distress you, the mighty Metropolitan Governor?" Zhang Huchen asked.

"Hey, it's not..." Min Wuyan pointed to the sky and sighed, "The Northern Expedition will be discussed again, and the old general should know what it means, right?" Why is the sky so eyeless? Don't they really care about their ancestors' society?"

Min Wuyan's words were quite complaining.

Since Min Wuyan became the governor of Xiangfan, he has been preparing for war, always looking forward to the stars and the moon, looking forward to the imperial court issuing an order, waving his army to the north, and recovering his homeland.

But Min Wuyan looked forward to coming and going, and he was disappointed again and again.

At present, the civil strife in Yan is a good opportunity for the Northern Expedition, but the news Min Wuyan got is "renegotiate", and according to past experience, "renegotiate" is not over, so Min Wuyan is quite disappointed.

"I see..." Zhang Huchen waved his hand, let Min Wuyan sit by the stream and said, "When the old man was an official, he didn't know the suffering of the world. There are frequent wars, but the most bitter people are ordinary people, and when the war starts, it is still ordinary people who are killed and injured."

"The old general doesn't want to go north anymore?" Min Wuyan said in surprise when he heard this: "Okay, I also know that restarting the war is not beneficial to the country and the people, but is it just a matter of retreating in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River, waiting for Hu Di to go south to invade the border? Wait for Hu Diping's civil strife, repair the army, and then go south with a large army? Old general, I am afraid that by that time, the mountains and rivers will be broken, and it will still be ordinary people who will suffer."

"The old man hasn't finished speaking, why are you so restless? Takehiko, as a general, when Mount Tai collapses in front of him and his color does not change, and the elk is on the left and his eyes are not instantaneous." Zhang Huchen shook his head slightly and said.
