At the beginning, the eloquent emperor of the Northern Liang Dynasty first painstakingly instigated the Dongfang Ping Rebellion, and then asked Xue Wenlu to lead the delegation to the Southern Dynasty to exert pressure, taking advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was focused on the Swift Prefecture and the mission, he ordered the king of Zhennan to attack Qingchuan Pass and Yanhui Pass, intending to reverse the general trend of the north and south.

If it weren't for Jiang Yuhu's divine soldiers descending from the sky, such as killing the gods, then the Northern Liang might really be able to play a prestige for decades and take an important step to dominate the world.

Although it was a failure in the end, it also left a deep impression on Yelushi, who had experienced the whole process.

This time, Yelushi did the same, he used his own son as bait to send a mission to the Southern Dynasty, which was also a realistic trick.

He is now in charge of Northern Liang, and the war situation east of Swift Prefecture is no secret to him.

With his ability and strategic pattern, after reading the draft agreement given to him by Xia Jingyun, combined with the current situation, he has already recognized the feasibility of Xia Jingyun's layout this time.

In this case, he naturally wants to go out to grab the territory.

Because it is said that the business will be managed in a unified manner at that time, but the business management will be managed, if this land is mine, the business will not give me some additional benefits if it is used?

The so-called dividends are also the red of profits, right?

It's like the territory east of Swift State, and now that the Southern Dynasty has seized the opportunity, will he not take some benefits?

They sent troops and money to fight hard, could it be that they could really allocate half of it to the beam?

This is all something that can be understood after a little pondering, and when the powerful ministers are in power, foreign conquest is one of the best ways to centralize power.

Nanyang is indeed beyond the reach of the whip, but this is the vast territory of the Western Regions that he is already familiar with, and he is about to seize the absolute opportunity.

He stood with his hands in his hands and turned his head to look at his right-hand side, which was the so-called Western Regions of the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

Yeluxiu, this time, I hope you can shine and let the world know that the Yelu family also has the Dinghai God Needle!

——

Great Xia, Zhongjing.

The morning sun is rising, the sky and the earth are gradually warm, but it is not dry, and the early morning wind is still a little cool, blowing into the main hall.

It approached curiously, observing everyone's expressions, and then rose away, circling the beams and columns, quietly watching their movements.

The voice of the Queen Mother was as pleasant as the melodious sound of the collision of bead curtains.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the court and the central government have accumulated deep evils, if you don't make up your mind, don't take drastic medicine, the Great Xia Guozuo, the glory of hundreds of officials, and the livelihood of all people are all problems. At this time, there is a risk of overturning the society, and we must always have the will to recover. In this new policy, since the hundred officials have discussed it collegially, there must be no slander, ridicule, obstruction, or disobedience. ”

She paused, "As for the big clans in the country, they have the merit of reassuring the people and maintaining stability in the local area, and the mourning family and His Majesty also see it, Xia Aiqing, what are the regulations, you can say it!" ”

Xia Jingyun was stunned for a moment, according to his original plan, he originally wanted his sister to say this matter herself, in order to show grace to the ministers, but he didn't expect her to give him a sudden change of hexagram at this time.

But among the good intentions, Xia Jingyun naturally knew it, and after being moved, he stepped out of the ranks and spoke loudly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this time the imperial court opened up trade routes, which is to gather the strength of the two dynasties and strengthen the strings of momentum, in order to eliminate military disasters, open up territories, and feed back to the dynasty. When designing the general firm to manage this matter, the prime minister, in accordance with the intention of the Queen Mother, specially reserved 10% of the share capital for the officials of the DPRK and China and the major clans. Although this percentage of share capital does not seem to be much, you must know that the Northern Liang Imperial Court is only thirty percent. Moreover, this is a private property, which can be passed on to future generations, and the existence of the dynasty will be eternal. ”

"Naturally, this share will not be directly rewarded or distributed, but will be agreed upon by the council, and after the central committee has consulted, it will be divided into many shares, and the articles of subscription will be promulgated, so you can rest assured."

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, and the New Deal would inevitably cause them to suffer heavy losses, which is why they tried their best to obstruct the New Deal.

But now that the obstruction of the offensive has been dismantled, it was enough to overjoyed them that they were not held accountable, but they did not expect that there would be an unexpected surprise.

None of them are stupid, if one thing is so big that the imperial courts of the two countries can only occupy three or four percent of the share capital, even if they take a percent, it is enough to be rich enough to flow oil.

The sequence of this is very delicate, and it is also a test of the ability to execute, but fortunately, everything is developing as Xia Jingyun expected, and it has finally played the expected role at this moment.

After receiving a sturdy stick, this date really made the representatives of these big clans feel the refreshing sweetness.

Looking at the irrepressible excitement on everyone's faces, Xia Jingyun paused, "Ladies and gentlemen, in front of the Queen Mother and Your Majesty today, I want to take the liberty of saying one more sentence and say two things that should not be said in front of you." The dynasty is the foundation of all our people in Bactria and without it, our current interests and glory will be gone. The Queen Mother and Her Majesty know that under the new policy, you will inevitably have some losses, so in the Western Regions, in the Eastern Regions, and in the South Seas, they have given everyone a vast space and huge benefits. ”

Everyone hurriedly shouted in unison, "Empress Dowager Xie, Your Majesty Longen!" ”

Xia Jingyun continued: "Now, the direction is clear, the imperial court is leading the way in front and overcoming obstacles for everyone, and the imperial court is also supporting behind the back and being a strong backing for everyone!" If you want policy for policy, you want money and grain for money and food, the soldiers accompany you, the army is strong, your fields are even strange, your servants are like clouds, and your rich and rival countries are all there, and that is what the country allows you, how much success you have, depends on how much ability you have, how determined you are! ”

His words changed sharply, and his tone sank, "As for the country, you should order your family members to abide by the decree and not do that thing that is beyond remorse. If in such a situation, it is still stubborn, then don't blame the court for not teaching and punishing, you must know that there are Bodhisattvas who lower their eyebrows, and there are also King Kong angry eyes! ”

Everyone's expressions were solemn, "Obey Xia Xiang's words." ”

After the bead curtain, the Queen Mother spoke again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the country is the foundation. All the people support Fang Youer and wait for today's glory, Xia Aiqing has a word, and she has won the heart of mourning. Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat. Consider the commandment. ”

Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat

Many people's hearts shook suddenly.

And at this moment, the guards outside the hall who had stopped for a while came again.

"The Queen Mother, Your Majesty, there are hundreds of students of the Guozijian wearing school robes and meditating outside the palace gate, demanding the dismissal of the traitorous minister, the abolition of the new policy, and the kindness of the gentry to the peace of the country."

As soon as these words came out, many people in the hall were instantly struck by lightning, and hurriedly knelt down in the gloating eyes of the surrounding people, "Queen Mother."

The overall situation has been decided, Concubine De couldn't help but feel a little funny, and after taking two deep breaths behind the bead curtain, she calmed down her tone and said: "Give them half an hour to leave, and if they don't leave after half an hour, that's another rhetoric." It's okay, let's retreat. ”

Everyone hurriedly knelt down and bowed, and then Xia Jingyun slowly turned around and walked, but a few calls sounded behind him, "Xia Xiang."

Xia Jingyun turned his head, looked at the anxious and undaring appearance of the person behind him, and smiled dumbly, "Go, don't miss the Queen Mother's orders, I won't talk about etiquette today." ”

"Thank you, Xia Xiang."

Saying that, more than a dozen court officials hurriedly crossed them and ran in the direction of the palace gate, which looked funny and ridiculous.

A courtier looked at a familiar figure and teased: "Lord Cheng's pace is so fast, I remember that I wasn't in such a hurry when I greeted my relatives." ”

Bai Yunbian snorted softly on the side, "That's to make a son, this is to save a son, can it be the same?" ”

Everyone was stunned, Xia Jingyun turned his head and glanced at him, "Lord Bai, don't lose the dignity of the center." ”

Bai Yunbian snorted, obviously unconvinced.

Outside the palace, there were already many people around, looking at each other with great interest.

Those eyes lit up and they couldn't take their eyes off it, and it seemed that most of them had already figured out how to brag in front of their neighbors next.

At the core of their gaze, more than 100 young students wearing the robes of the national superintendent were sitting quietly in the wide square in front of the palace gate.

It is the place where the hundred officials are waiting, and it is also the place where many of them will stand in the future, but today they are willing to gamble on the possibility of standing here in the future to make their voices heard.

The door of Miyagi opened silently.

The priest of the country rushed out in a hurry, shouting out breathlessly, "What are you doing! You're looking for death! Get up for the old man! ”

But he tugged and kicked, but no one got up.

"It's against you! I tell you! Whoever can't afford it, don't want to graduate from the national prison! You can't finish your studies, I see how you can participate in the imperial examination! ”

Under the murderous words of the sacrificial wine, there were still some people who were instigated and instigated, and they couldn't help but hesitate, but at this moment, the leading students looked directly at the sacrificial wine and said angrily, "Hu sacrificial wine!" You don't need to intimidate and oppress us with such powerful words! We are here today because we are ready to gamble on the future of our lives, and we are going to challenge the authoritarian power! We just want to show the world what is the unyielding arrogance of readers! ”

"I'll fuck you!"

A loud shout sounded behind him, and the student who opened his mouth glared angrily, "Who dares to slander the world to study. Father? ”

"Proud of your mother's bones! How did Lao Tzu educate you since you were a child! You've grown a few hairs, and you're here to talk about politics! ”

In a hurry, the official directly ripped off his belt, split his head and covered his face, and pumped it towards this "unlucky" son.

"Dad, what are you doing, Dad. You didn't call me."

"I will teach you to be loyal and patriotic!" The official hurriedly interrupted and said sharply: "I didn't teach you to commit such a disobedient crime!! ”

Immediately afterwards, more courtiers rushed over, accurately grabbed their sons, nephews, and juniors in the crowd, and reciprocated with an old fist.

"What kind of thing are you, you dare to talk about the affairs of the imperial court!"

"We and other great clans have always been loyal to the king, and the king has a will, even if life and death are out of the way! You're crazy! ”

"Don't be a traitor, I think you're like a traitor! No, how can you be a prime minister in a dog day! ”

"The New Deal is a great benefit to the country, and your elm head can understand a fart! Lao Tzu beat you to death as a rebellious son! ”

A group of people behind the secret instigation of this event violently beat up the open-faced principals of this event on the spot, which not only made the other party hug their heads, but also made this event completely become a farce.

Only these fathers, uncles, and elders can be so unscrupulous and logical to settle this matter without causing excessive discussion in the government and the opposition.

The onlookers watched this miraculous turn of events in amazement, and they couldn't close their jaws for a long time, and it took a long time for the chatter to start.

"Tsk, I used to think that these big clans were moths of the country, but I didn't expect them to be so aware of the righteousness and willing to support the new policy, it seems that I still live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain."

"What! It must have been cleaned up by Xia Xiang, haven't you seen the movement in the city in the past few days! is also well aware of righteousness, do you believe what people play for you? ”

"I don't believe what you say, I don't believe what I've seen with my own eyes, I want to believe your nonsense speculation?"

"Don't fight, no matter what, this new deal seems to be unstoppable!"

"yes, I don't know if it's good or bad."

"How much does it matter to us whether it is good or bad, under the roots of the imperial city, can it still be messed up? Let's go, drink and go! ”

With the complete end of this huge court battle, some decrees that should have been issued a long time ago have finally come.

Former Prime Minister Wan Wenbi and former Imperial Historian Yan Songwen, two important ministers, were directly sentenced to death for committing many major crimes such as rebellion, corruption, and selling official positions.

This was an expected result, but it was a little unexpected that among their relatives, except for those core clansmen who could not escape death, they were all the same as the Jiuhe Wang family and others, but they were only sentenced to exile.

However, for them, there was no choice in this place of exile, and they were all taken to Nanyang by Xia Jingyun.

The Nanyang side was still waiting for the explorers sent by the Qin family in the early stage to return, so these people were slowly driven to the port along the coast of Guangling Prefecture to wait.

Just when some people felt that these people were guilty of rebellion after all, and the court seemed a little benevolent this time, another piece of news came out.

Xuanhu, the former leader of the Black Ice Terrace, committed the crime of conspiracy and rebellion, and will be late in the court tomorrow.

As soon as the news came out, everyone was solemn.

Ling Chi, how many years haven't passed.

There is grace and authority, this court seems to be not only not weak, but also very exquisite!

The next day, Zhongjing City, West City.

A clearing here is the place where Great Xia is executed all year round.

The cracks in the bluestone slabs are oozing with black-brown that has accumulated for years.

The flies that don't go all day are like messengers on the Yellow Springs Road, calling for the next loser in this Vanity Fair.

Groups of prisoners were brought up.

Crying, cursing, trembling, and incontinence, staging the various states of life before death.

And their life-ending performance has become an enduring talk of onlookers.

The executioners, accustomed to seeing this, calmly picked up the wine bowl and spewed a mouthful of wine mist on the shiny chopping knife.

The fog dispersed, the knife rose, and the head fell to the ground.

round after round, finally, when Wan Wenbi and Yan Songwen were escorted up alone, everyone watched with bated breath.

It is not uncommon for two central ministers to be beheaded.

Both of them were wearing shabby prison clothes, and their beards were messy, and they couldn't see any of the original scenery and glory.

The clotted blood in front of him gradually turned brown, and swarms of flies swirled and flew on it.

They buzzed and fanned their wings, shouting that the blood was not fresh, hurry up!

The executioner threw out the execution warrants, and the executioner slowly pulled out the wooden plaque behind them indicating their identity.

Under the shadow of death, Yan Songwen's legs suddenly weakened, and his whole person trembled like chaff.

Wan Wenbi took a deep breath and roared towards the opposite street: "Xia Jingyun! I'm not convinced! You don't keep your promises! Steal the power! You forced me! Listen, I'm not convinced! I know you must be watching, under the Nine Springs, I'm waiting for you! ”

Hearing that he had insulted the prime minister of the dynasty, the executioner was so frightened that he hurriedly shouted, "Execute quickly!" ”

Two rays of light flashed, and two heads fell to the ground.

The hot blood made the flies flutter their wings, and on a carriage at the entrance of the alley in the distance, Xia Jingyun slowly lowered the curtain.

Dongfang Bai sat across from him, his face a little worried, "Uncle."

Xia Jingyun shook his head with a smile, signaling that Wan Wenbi's angry scolding and curse were not worth mentioning at all, and said softly: "Life and death are so cruel, if it was us who lost at the beginning, maybe at this moment, we are not as decent as him." ”

Dongfang Bai nodded, "I will be cautious, and then study carefully." ”

Xia Jingyun smiled and rubbed his head, "In fact, being an emperor is also a truth, only after you understand the essence of the operation of the world, can you govern the world well, why are many deep palace emperors not good emperors in the eyes of the world, because he only understands the essence of power operation in this court, but lacks knowledge of this world." ”

"Do you know what a joke I heard say before?"

"Uncle, please speak."

"It is said that there was a peasant who was digging in the field, and he was so tired that he rested with a hoe, and then he thought, you said that this emperor is so rich, I am afraid that he uses a gold hoe to dig the ground, right? When eating, it must be enough for white flour buns. ”

Dongfang Bai couldn't help laughing.

"Uncle used to read a joke in a miscellaneous book, saying that there was a great drought in the world, and many people had no harvest and were displaced, so the ministers told the emperor about it, saying that they wanted disaster relief, and the victims could not afford to eat, and many died of hunger. The emperor himself is a little stupid, so he said that if there is no rice to eat, he will eat broth, can't the broth also satisfy his stomach? ”

Dongfang Bai couldn't laugh at this moment.

Xia Jingyun said slowly: "The peasants don't understand the life of the emperor, but how can many emperors know the real hardship of the people. Uncle hopes that you will take this trip, take a good look at the great rivers and mountains under your governance, take a look at the people of the world that your words and deeds will affect, truly understand the lives of the common people, and then think about your future life path. ”

He smiled slightly, "Let's go, Uncle will send you out of the city." ”

In the first year of Yongping in Great Xia, in the summer of May.

Emperor Yongping Dongfang Bai inspected the world, and the Empress Dowager in Beijing listened to the government and appointed his infant brother Dongfang Hong as the emperor's younger brother.

——

In Beiliang, in the camp of Yelu Eight Crane Control, Yelu Xiu slowly put away the secret letter in his hand, solemnly put it into his arms, looked at the generals sitting below, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the order of the prince has arrived, immediately reorganize the army, with 20,000 elite horses, and march west!"
