Chapter 100 Houyuan sacrifice, arrangements before returning to Beijing (the first order for support!) )
Daming Palace, brightly lit, looking at the few twists and turns in his hand, a trace of sarcasm floated over the corner of Emperor Ming Kang's mouth.
Those officials whose brains were kicked by a donkey were still alarmist, saying that Jia Chen was holding heavy troops, plotting against him, and threatening the stability of Dakang, he almost laughed angrily.
Heavily? A heavy army of 5,000 men? Bad intentions?? With his own holy decree, Jia Chen stayed in Jiubian for almost three years, and those alien races were repelled before returning to the court.
Even if he says that he is a high-ranking master, he can still accept it, but when he thinks about these people, he doesn't have the courage to say these things, for fear of being angry with himself, saying that those are nothing more than saying that he is narrow-minded and intolerant, but is he that kind of person?
Did he fall out with Xungui because he was intolerant? That's not it, it's that they don't listen to their orders, they can't command, and they form gangs and factions to confront the imperial court, of course, this is what Emperor Ming Kangdi thinks, as for those dark thoughts in his heart, he will not admit it.
For Jia Chen, he doesn't have so much thought, Xungui can't command the vein, the nine sides have been erosive for many years, Jia Chen helped him sweep away the haze, which can be regarded as solving the problem of his henchmen, and then he swept away the Jurchens and opened up the territory, which must be recorded in history, although he is not as angry as the founding emperor of Dakang, but he has the ambition to be a Ming Jun.
Jia Chen has meritorious service to the country, is very measured, and the army in charge is only 5,000 people, and he has not added another person, and he has obeyed the emperor's orders and has not neglected, he has no reason to deal with such a general who obeys orders.
Coupled with the fact that Xungui's vein is still alive and kicking now, how could he cut off his own arm?
"I couldn't get off the stage at the beginning, but now I'm afraid?"
Emperor Ming Kangdi looked at the names of the people who played the music, and showed a look of surprise, these people, without exception, were all Wenchen who followed Fan Yuanhe and coaxed at the beginning, and a group of sour Confucians He was angry when he looked at it, how did the Great Song Dynasty perish in the first place? The emperors of the past dynasties were in a corner of peace, emphasizing literature and suppressing martial arts, and in the end, there was no military general who could take it.
Now he is just using Wenchen to balance the power of the court and suppress those nobles who do not obey the command, but he doesn't really want to be the king of partial peace, otherwise he would not be canonized as the champion of Jia Chen.
The moonlight was hazy, Ming Kangdi threw the fold on the table, left the dragon chair, walked out, and stood at the door of the imperial study, he raised his head, it was another starry night.
Thinking of the content of those twists and turns, Ming Kangdi's mood was a little irritable, and he was always suspicious for the emperor, although from all the previous things, he didn't think that Jia Chen would be the same as those nobles, but he was a little worried, what if?
But after thinking about the current situation in the court, he suppressed those thoughts again, no matter what, in recent years, Jia Chen will not and cannot move, as for the follow-up, he is still more inclined to achieve a good story of harmony between the monarch and the minister, rather than the laughing stock of the monarch and the minister.
Looking at the somewhat dim courtyard below, Emperor Ming Kang sighed leisurely, "I hope you don't disappoint me~"
Ming Kangdi stayed for a while, until he felt a little cold, and then walked back again.
He took the hand stove handed over by Dai Quan, held it in his arms, and asked casually, "What's the reaction from the Taihe Palace?" ”
Dai Quan bent down and replied respectfully: "Back to the emperor, after today's next dynasty, Fan Yuan, Lord Fan and Master Zeng Shutang have all gone to Taihe Palace to ask for peace!" It is not clear what the old man said about the Emperor Taishang, but the subordinates seemed to be very happy when they heard the little Xuanzi who was on duty outside say that the Emperor Taishang and his old man laughed heartily after Lord Fan and Master Zeng left! ”
Emperor Ming Kang smiled, who is not happy about such a grand event, how have those Tartars of the Later Yuan Dynasty served over the years, after the Yuan Dynasty was driven out of the Central Plains by Dakang, he was called the emperor in the north, all these years have been engaged in wind and rain, and the nine sides of the disturbance have never been stable.
He felt that his father's happiness may not be the same as his own, Jia Chen's sudden rise swept away most of the pressure from the nobles above the court, and the border came one after another good news, and his control over the court became stronger and stronger, and what Emperor Taikang said, maybe it was just simple happiness! After all, at that time, Sabhutan was still making a lot of nonsense in front of him, saying that they were the people of the Immortal Heaven and the wolves that crisscrossed the grassland, and Dakang was just a group of sheep, and they could eat whenever they wanted.
Now that this wolf king has been directly brought back to Dakang Capital, for Taikangdi, it is a beautiful counterattack, which can make him unhappy.
"Tell Xu Yuantu to come over, I have something to ask him!"
Emperor Ming Kangdi waved his hand and asked Dai Quan to call someone, and after a while, a man dressed in black walked in.
"Chen Xu traveled far to meet the emperor! Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live~"
Emperor Ming Kangdi sat in front of the imperial eucalyptus and began to look through other twists and turns, most of them were the annual summaries submitted by the cabinet, which expenditure of each ministry this year, how much tax revenue, what problems were there in that place, how was the solution done, and how much silver taels would be roughly spent next year, and a general budget was made.
Emperor Ming Kangdi didn't look up, and replied while continuing to look at the recital, "Okay, long live what, don't be ashamed to shout, I was panicked when I heard it, what I told you to do, how is the progress?" ”
Xu Yuantu stood up straight, his eyes lowered, and after sorting out his thoughts a little, he began to reply, "Emperor Qi, according to the secret report obtained by his subordinates, Niu Jizong, Liu Fang and others gathered for a while in the Zhenguo Mansion, but in the end they broke up unhappily, because there were their people guarding the door, and the specific things they talked about had not yet been known. Jia Chen's children dig their own graves and other words! The subordinates speculated that they were talking about the champion Hou Guijing in the Zhenguo Mansion before, and Wu Xun was not in the same vein, some people wanted to be close, and some people didn't treat him very well. ”
Hearing this, Emperor Ming Kangdi nodded slightly, what Jia Chen did touched the interests of the Xungui family to a large extent, and it was not surprising that there were still people with different opinions, which made him a little interested.
"How many families are close to Jia Chen??"
Xu Yuantu pondered for a moment, and said again: "People's hearts are unpredictable, and the subordinates are not sure, but on the surface, Niu Jizong and Liu Fang don't seem to be disgusted with Jia Chen, the two old princes retreated into the background, and they didn't ask about the government, and the subordinates didn't know if it was the meaning of these two, and the Weiyuan Marquis Hou Xiwu seemed to have a little importance to the champion Hou, as for the others, it was another attitude!" ”
Emperor Ming Kangdi snorted lightly, Xungui's vein is not all straw bales who walk dogs and fight cocks, and fight for the wind and jealousy, and there are also many hard-working people, for those gentlemen, he naturally looks down on them, and most of the time he sneers at them.
And most of the people who showed closeness to Jia Chen were those who were really powerful figures in the noble lineage, who could fight and make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, how could they be the same as the remaining few people who only knew how to rely on the shadow of their ancestors.
And the most difficult thing to deal with in the Xungui vein is not those who only know how to rely on the shadow of their ancestors, but these hard-working military cadres, Ming Kangdi's eyes narrowed, as early as when he rewarded Jia Chen before, Hou Xiwu seemed to be dissatisfied with Fan Yuanhe's performance, maybe he could really take advantage of this matter and pull out the two nails that Emperor Taikang put on the court.
......
Liaodong Town, a team of about four or five thousand cavalry quickly walked on the official road, these people are all blood-stained armor, with a killing intent in their eyes that seems to be indissolvable, their expressions are extremely cold, and the interesting thing is that they accidentally saw this team of cavalry, but the people were not afraid, but there was a trace of longing in their eyes, looking at the young general at the front of the team, they were even very excited.
This group of people is none other than the Great Snow Dragoons who have returned from the expedition.
Mobei was besieged and killed, after Jia Chen broke through the siege, he once again set off a bloody storm on the wasteland, and launched a crazy attack with a big snow dragoon, and the Wuliangha was beaten the worst, losing nearly 100,000 people, not to mention, Sabtan was also captured by him.
Small kiosk app
With Jia Chen's exaggerated vision, in the middle of the battle, the Snow Dragoon is like installing a radar, and many of the enemy's strategies have become empty talk, just like an empty city plan, even if it looks like it, it can't escape Jia Chen's perception, whether there is anyone in this city, he can know at a glance. There is also that kind of encirclement, if Jia Chen didn't expect the other party to be like this at the beginning, he wouldn't have been hit, and if he wanted to come a second time, he would definitely not work again.
Therefore, the coalition army of the Later Yuan Dynasty was miserable, and they couldn't catch up if they wanted to pursue it, and once they divided their troops, they would be beaten by Jia Chen, and they had to retreat after leaving more than 100,000 people.
Liaodong Town, the General Military Officer's Mansion, Jia Chen's expression was a little serious, looking at the white mist rising from the empty birds above the teacups on the table, his thoughts rewind to a few days ago.
In the north, Maham was crisscrossing and besieging the tribes, and the real reason why he did not leave all the 300,000 people in the Later Yuan was not that they retreated, but the three people he met on the way.
It was three very strange people, with wild retro clothes on their bodies, with feathers on their heads or canes hanging on their skulls, and they felt quite old in age, but they did not have the feeling of a candle in the wind like an old man, but they showed the anger of a young man.
He still remembered the first words of the three of them, "Heaven has the virtue of a good life, can Master Hou wait for me to give me a face, forgive these people of Immortal Heaven, I promise that they will not be enemies of you again~"
For the three people who suddenly appeared, although Jia Chen was vigilant, but he would not stop chasing and killing because of the other party's words, for foreign races, Jia Chen has always been a man of action, there is a way that there are thousands of cups of wine for a confidant, and he does not speculate for more than half a sentence, he wants to snatch people from him, and he will talk about it after fighting, so Jia Chen will shoot directly after that.
The sword qi was rolling like a tide, the color of the heavens and the earth changed, the light waves were uncertain, the wind was roaring, the earth was shaking, and the land within a radius of two or three miles was almost beaten into ruins by the four of them.
That battle can be described as hearty, Jia Chen has the upper hand with one enemy and three enemies, but these three people are as if they are immortal, they were hammered half to death by Jia Chen, and in the end they can stand up, after two attempts, Jia Chen knew that he could not kill them, so he died down.
It's just that at that time, the northern coalition army had already retreated dozens of miles, and it was a great luck.
After that, Jia Chen also knew some things from them, they were the high priests of the three major tribes of the Later Yuan, for some reason, they couldn't make a move on weekdays, if it weren't for the disaster of the Later Yuan tribes today, they would never have made a move.
Speaking of these, there was an unconcealable envy between their words, Jia Chen, who was still watching at the time, was a little stunned, and then they also talked about the rules of this heaven and earth, the cultivation ranks they belong to, they are limited by the rules on weekdays, and they can't act at will, unless they encounter the disaster of extermination, otherwise they will only look on coldly.
After that, Jia Chen asked if there were still people like them in this world, and the answer was yes, but they also said that those people were like them, and if it wasn't for something big, they wouldn't do anything at all.
Later, when Jia Chen asked about the location of Beibi Mountain, the three of them were stunned, and they all shook their heads, saying that they had not heard of this place.
However, the three of them told him another thing, the matter of the Jianzhou Jurchen, Jia Chen destroyed the Jianzhou Jurchen, and the person standing behind the Jurchen would definitely not give up.
In the end, the three of them drifted away, Jia Chen had a preliminary understanding of the cultivators of this heaven and earth, they were different from himself, they couldn't make a casual move, and they were suppressed by heaven and earth.
In other words, his existence is unique in the whole world, and after that, he led his troops back to Liaodong.
"If it is according to what the three old guys said, Dakang should also have this kind of person, and it is better to be careful. There is also the old guy from the Jianzhou Jurchen, after all, he is a disaster, and he has to find a way to get rid of him as soon as possible! ”
The door was suddenly pushed open, and a big man with a beard walked in, he arched his hand, and said to Jia Chen: "My lord, this time I returned to Beijing, did you bring all the five thousand snow dragon cavalry with you?" ”
From his point of view, since ancient times, for the general's high merit, few can get a good death, Jia Chen's three years, large and small battles have fought dozens of battles, and the credit is very great, it is inevitable that he will not be hated by people with intentions, and will even be attacked by some officials of the imperial court.
So he was thinking that he didn't need to bring a few more people back, so as to deter the court and make them dare not act rashly.
Jia Chen waved his hand, "It's good to bring only a thousand people!" ”
Hearing this, Guo Yingjing couldn't help but be stunned, thought about it, and hurriedly said: "My lord, this time you have crisscrossed the northern border and made great contributions, and it is inevitable that there will be villains in the court, so let's bring a little more!" It can also deter those villains and make them dare not act rashly! ”
Jia Chen raised his eyebrows, for those things, he had already thought about them, it was enough to bring a thousand people, he was not without the power to protect himself now, even if Ming Kangdi really wanted to move himself, he could go, there was no need to bring more people back, that would only intensify the suspicion of Ming Kangdi and Tai Kangdi, and even be self-defeating.
Seeing what Guo Yingjing wanted to say, Jia Chen waved his hand, interrupted the other party's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "You haven't considered that if you go back this time, I will bring more people, will it make the emperor jealous?" I destroyed the Jianzhou Jurchens and opened up the territory for Dakang, which can be described as a great achievement, plus the pacification of the northern border, the name of the world, if the emperor wants to deal with me, will it not make the people of the world chill, besides, my champion Hou is personally sealed by him, above the court, he can't command the noble lineage, and the military is only a newcomer to me, and he won't do that kind of stupid thing! ”
"If you bring too many people, it will easily cause unnecessary suspicion, and then it will be troublesome, a thousand people are enough!"
Of course, there are some things that he didn't say, in fact, no one can stop him unless he doesn't want to leave now, and there is not much difference between bringing a thousand people and five thousand.
In addition, when he passed through the nine sides, every time he went to a place, he would have a small gathering with the local generals, and what happened during the period was only known to those who participated in the meeting, so he was confident that at least within three years, the nine sides would always be in his own hands, as for the three years later, it was a big deal for him to run again, with Da Bai and Xiao Bai, his travel was unexpectedly convenient, and he also went back to Jinling and Yangzhou in the past two years, but in recent years, the Zhen family has been very honest, and the salt gang has also been hidden, so he has nothing to do.
Hearing Jia Chen's words, Guo Yingjing thought about it and felt that it was also, he had seen Jia Chen's skills, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, if Jia Chen really wanted to leave, it was estimated that those soldiers in the capital would not be able to stop him, so he didn't say more.
"If the lord has an order, you can use the carrier pigeon to pass the book, and the 250,000 soldiers in Liaodong will obey the order of the adult!"
After thinking about it, Guo Yingjing hugged his fists and said to Jia Chen.
Jia Chen smiled softly, "Okay, the capital is like some kind of snake's nest, I came out of there, can I still not know the severity?" If I'm not sure, I won't go back! ”
"As for the remaining four thousand snow dragon riders, let's guard Liaodong for the time being! The Haixi Jurchens in the north have no choice, if I take them all, with your temperament, I'm afraid that the walls will be clear again! ”
Hearing Jia Chen's words, Guo Yingjing's face turned embarrassed, maybe this matter is really like this, without the ace force of the Great Snow Dragon Rider, with his degree of prudence, maybe he will really continue to clear the wilderness.
"My lord, I'm here~"
Seeing Guo Yingjing like this, Jia Chen waved his hand, "One person and one character, there is nothing wrong with clearing the wall, it is better than Datong Town, rashly attacking, not only losing troops, but also causing the emperor to be angry, and the gains outweigh the losses!" ”
Hearing Jia Chen's words, Guo Yingjing nodded curtly, and then he listened to Jia Chen's words: "By the way, after that, you will send someone to pay attention to the appearance of any special people in the Jianzhou territory?" Strangely dressed savages, or some old men of Shinto, if you find out, don't alarm him, just fly the pigeon and report it to me immediately, and I will have my own plans when the time comes! ”
Guo Yingjing was slightly stunned, although it was strange, but he didn't continue to ask, he was used to it in the past two years, Jia Chen rarely told them the reason, but every time the result was good, and gradually no one asked why.
In the past two years, many people have moved from the Central Plains to the Jianzhou territory, most of them are those villagers whose lives are unsustainable, and after the efforts of these people, the side has gradually regained its vitality, but there has been no movement on the imperial court, so that Liaodong Town temporarily governs Jianzhou, and he feels that there is no problem with this matter, after all, it is within his own jurisdiction.
In a courtyard, there are two red-crowned cranes here, speaking of these two guys, it was Jia Chen who accidentally met and got them back, and they were still chicks when they got them, but looking at this size, Jia Chen's credit should be indispensable.
With the experience of raising withering, this time he is familiar with the road, he originally thought that since he can resist withering, of course he can also drive cranes, for him, he just wants to get two more cars, after all, flying in the sky is always faster than running on the ground.
Inside the house, Cailuan shrank into the quilt again, although she is not so afraid of the cold now, but here, she still likes to drill into the quilt, after all, the quilt is warmer.
Seeing Jia Chen push the door in, Cailuan moved twice on the couch and said to Jia Chen: "Hey~ Do you want to come to warm up, the ghost weather here in Liaodong doesn't feel anything in summer, but in winter, even if it doesn't snow, people don't want to get out of the bed!" ”
Jia Chen couldn't help laughing when she saw that she had wrapped herself in a caterpillar again.
"I'm leaving for Beijing tomorrow, and your things are ready??"
Cailuan shook his head, "What do I have, it's all in the cloth bag!" It's you, a big cart and a small cart pulling a bunch, and you're not afraid that your Emperor Majesty will cut off your head!
”
Jia Chen raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Really? Who went to the money bank to redeem the silver ticket before! ”
Cailuan's face was embarrassed, and the whole person retracted into the quilt, and refused to admit it, "How do I know, I just came back~"
Jia Chen smiled when he saw this, no longer joking with her, but came to the window, looking at the quiet sky, a little distracted, three years is not long, not short, he walked over step by step, facing this world, he was a little more calm.
It is said that the hometown is more timid, and he hasn't left yet! Xinhu was a little ripple at first glance, and he didn't know how his little girl was, and the little girl who was coaxed by himself, and now I don't know how tall it was, and that Sister Lin, but it was a little unexpected by himself, through the spies he sent back, he accidentally learned that Daiyu actually played with Xichun, and he often went to his small courtyard to read books before.
Besides, the situation in the capital is even more chaotic than when he left three years ago, not only Tai Kangdi, Ming Kangdi, the nobles and the two ministers of the Tai Kangdi lineage also seem to be unhappy, plus the civil official line supported by the Ming Kangdi is already chaotic enough, but the Ming Kangdi let several of his princes start to participate in political affairs, so the situation in the entire court is almost a mess, sometimes he is also wondering, is it not that the nine sides have their own reasons, these two saints just let go, Instead, infighting began.
What our ancestors said was sometimes really good, in ancient times! Many regimes are really "insiders and outsiders~"
He had a feeling that when he returned to Beijing this time, the pool of water in the imperial court would definitely be completely muddyed.
