Above the court, all the officials were indignant.

"The barbarians of Beiliang deceive people too much."

"Let the emperor apologize to them, phew, don't think about it!!"

"Tuoba Yuan doesn't want to think about it, if there is no Your Majesty, where will he come to the position of emperor, such as a person like him who will take revenge, will be retributed."

......

Hundreds of officials, every word you say and I say, they are all insulting Tuoba Yuan, but in the face of Beiliang's provocation, Xiao Wuxin is very calm.

"Zhongqing, don't quarrel anymore, if the quarrel is useful, I would have drenched the dog scolded by Tuoba Yuan in my heart," Xiao Wuxin motioned for everyone to be quiet.

Xiao Wuxin gave Tuoba Yuan half a year to return to the Sixteen Northern Counties, while Tuoba Yuan gave Xiao Wuxin three months to apologize.

This is clearly a temptation on both sides.

Even if the Zhou Dynasty had just experienced civil strife for a short time, but the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and the Northern Liangye definitely did not dare to start a large-scale war easily.

That's why they're just making a little noise on the border.

Similarly, Beiliang also understood that the Zhou Dynasty did not dare to provoke a war at this moment, so Tuoba Yuan dared to humiliate Xiao Wuxin so fearlessly.

After Xiao Wuxin said the results of the analysis, everyone also felt that it was reasonable, who wouldn't say cruel things, and they didn't want money anyway.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Everyone admired Xiao Wuxin's intelligence, and he broke through the sky in one word.

Xiao Wuxin said: "Now that I am waiting for a hundred industries, the top priority is to recuperate and recuperate. ”

Prime Minister Wei Zheng asked, "What should the people on the border do?" ”

Xiao Wuxin pondered for a long time, and finally made a bold decision, saying: "Move the border and ban business." ”

Although there was constant friction between the Great Zhou and the Northern Liang, the people on the border of the two countries had a lot of trade contacts in private.

There were many cattle and sheep in Beiliang, and their beef and mutton and wool were sold to the Zhou Dynasty.

The Zhou Dynasty has a lot of land, occupies the right time and place, the Central Plains of the bucks, silk brocade, tea and fruits, and daily necessities, etc., these are all in demand for Beiliang.

On the contrary, there was a shortage of beef, mutton and wool, and the Zhou Dynasty could find other substitutes.

Because of this, Beiliang's eyes were red, and he was always the main reason for plundering the borders of the Zhou Dynasty.

Once the "relocation ban on business" is implemented, it will be a major blow to the barren North Liang.

Of course, this kind of thing of killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred is also a big blow to the Zhou Dynasty.

As for Xiao Wuxin's strategy, some people raised objections, saying: "Your Majesty! The minister thought that it was inappropriate, and once the border was moved and the ban on commerce was imposed, it would inevitably cause major disturbances. ”

Yes, doing so is indeed cutting off the financial route of Beiliang, but what about those who trade with Beiliang?!

"Have you ever heard the saying that war is not just about soldiers, but about finance?"

Throughout the ages, war has been the most fundamental manifestation of national strength; But financial warfare is the key to winning a thousand miles.

Today's Zhou Dynasty is unable to fight large-scale battles at every turn, but there is still capital to launch financial trade.

What Xiao Wuxin wanted to do was to start a financial and trade war to leave enough time for the rise of the empire.

The Great Zhou Dynasty was tossed by Xiao Yuanshan and was already full of holes, and a hundred ruins were waiting to be revived.

If you want to revitalize the empire, it will take time, but now that Beiliang is putting pressure everywhere, the troops dare not fight, so they will fight a trade war.

If someone opposes it, some agree with it, and it is a strategy to cut through the mess quickly.

As a result, there were two different chatters in the court, and they were inextricably noisy.

Xiao Wuxin acquiesced to their quarrel, and the imperial court could only go far with the existence of multiple voices.

......

Just as they were arguing fiercely, the envoy came to the Xuanzheng Hall and interrupted everyone.

Zhao Ci looked a little flustered: "Your Majesty! The culprit behind the recent murder of the Hongchen woman has been caught. ”

"Who is it!!" Xiao Wuxin asked.

"Hundred households Li Sanpao!!"

After Zhao Ci summarized all the clues, he pointed the finger at Li Sanpao, and learned from the Lang who treated him that he was indeed suffering from white erosion.

After several days of squatting, he was finally caught.

"It's him!"

Now it seems that the three suspects arrested by Zhao Ci at the beginning were all murderers, which no one expected.

Zhao Si, Zhou Ye, and Li Sanpao, the three of them are the murderers in all cases.

Li Sanpao is the buyer behind the scenes, Zhao Si is responsible for killing, and Zhou Ye is responsible for leading the way.

The three of them cooperated tacitly and deceived everyone, making people feel that the murderer was just one person, who would have thought that it would be three?

"Zhao Ci, do you have anything else to say?" If he just caught Li Sanpao, he would not be so flustered, and he must have made other discoveries.

Zhao Ci looked around left and right, as if he had some scruples, Xiao Wuxin understood, so he withdrew the ministers from the left and right, and asked them to move to the side hall and wait.

After everyone left, Zhao Ci dared to take out the things.

"Your Majesty, the minister found these letters when he searched Li Sanpao's house."

After opening, the letter recorded the intelligence collected by Li Sanpao as an spy of the Northern Liang Dynasty for a long time as a spy in the Northern Liang Dynasty.

It included the secrets of most of the important officials of the imperial court, as well as evidence that those officials accepted secret bribes from the Northern Liang.

Xiao Wuxin looked at the letters, and his spine became more and more cold, he couldn't have imagined that Beiliang's penetration into Jinling had been so deep.

"Tuoba Yuan, it's really yours."

Xiao Wuxin muttered to himself.

"Your Majesty, the minister is most worried about Lord Su Wu, he was ordered to send an envoy to the wolf clan, but I am afraid that this news has been known to Beiliang."

Xiao Wuxin's expression was gloomy to the extreme, not surprisingly, Su Wu had already had an accident.

"Tuoba Yuan, count you ruthless."

The apprentice taught by Xiao Wuxin himself eventually became his biggest enemy, and it was really a good reincarnation in heaven.

As the saying goes, blessings are not double, and disasters are not alone.

At this time, a major incident happened, and the patrol battalion reported urgently.

"King Zhao is assassinated!!"

When Xiao Wuxin learned of this, Long Yan was furious in an instant,
