"Yu'er is benevolent and has a weak personality, the queen must grasp the court, jointly assist, and reorganize the dynasty."

The emperor half sat on the bed, and said slowly to Empress Jiang, his tone was gentle, and Empress Jiang in front of him was also pear blossoms with rain, and nodded in agreement.

Then, the emperor looked sideways at the crown prince and said, "Yu'er, you have to remember that although Empress Jiang is not your biological mother, you must serve respectfully and cannot be neglected." ”

"Today, the court is worried about internal and external troubles, everything needs to be carefully considered, after I leave, the mountains and rivers of this Great Xia can be entrusted to you."

The emperor said it sincerely, and he couldn't help crying, but when he saw the restrained prince in front of him, he suddenly worried that his favorite son couldn't control the chaotic court, and couldn't help but sigh.

At this time, the emperor was just a terminally ill ordinary person, without the vigor he had when he ascended the throne, like an old man in his last years, who only hoped that his descendants could grow up safely, but he was born in the emperor's garden, and how could he have the right to choose?

With that sigh, the emperor seemed to have exhausted his strength, and lay down on the dragon bed again.

That night, the most powerful emperor of Great Xia was killed, setting off a shocking wave in the court.

No one dared to hide the news of the emperor's death, and there was no need to hide it, before he died, the emperor had already made an edict and arranged the afterlife, at this time, just wait for the mourning period to pass, that is, the crown prince ascended the throne and opened a new dynasty.

After the emperor's death, all parties were ready to move, and the news soon spread to Qingzhou.

In Qingzhou Mansion, Li Li frowned and finished reading the letter in his hand, raised his head and sighed, but a middle-aged man about forty years old next to him stepped forward and said.

"Now that the new dynasty has been established, His Majesty has entrusted the teacher with a heavy responsibility, and he also asks the teacher not to hurt his mind and take care of his body."

Li Li came back to his senses, looked at his student, who was already a member of the imperial court, shook his head and said slowly: "Yaoliang, I have no intention of the temple, I just want to be a scattered person with idle clouds and wild cranes. ”

Qingzhou Governor Lu Yaoliang took a step forward at this time and directly bent down to make a big salute.

"The teacher has no intention of the court disputes, and the students know about it, but the students are now shallow and incompetent to serve in Kyoto's political affairs."

"Even if it's not for the students, let's just say that the officials of the Qingzhou lineage and the people of Qingzhou still need a teacher at the helm."

Seeing this, Li Li sighed again, he also knew that what Li Yaoliang said was the truth, now there are many factions in the court, and the officials of the Qingzhou line have never had much right to speak, and he really doesn't know what the future form will be when he returns.

Now that Empress Jiang's elder brother has been named the Marquis of Zhenwu and the Governor of Qingzhou Military, if Li Yaoliang, the governor of Qingzhou, does not have a backbone in the court who can speak, it is false to say that he is not worried.

Regardless of Li Li's final decision, Xiao Jiu in Lingshui County looked at the notice sent from the capital and pondered expressionlessly.

Nearly the end of the year, before the first New Year when I came to this world, I experienced this kind of major event of changing the dynasty.

The current Xiao Jiu was trapped by the small Lingshui County after all, and he couldn't see the direction of the Great Xia Dynasty after the establishment of the New Dynasty, but he understood that when the new emperor ascended the throne, it was a critical moment for the change of power.

And this era is different from those dynasties with stable regimes that I know, the border defenders have heavy troops and are not restrained by the imperial court.

The dead old emperor was only in his forties, and it stands to reason that he was in the prime of life, and he also had two brushes to govern the government, but he suddenly died at this time, and the situation in the world is really uncertain where it will go.

The new emperor Qin Yu, whose name is Zhengjie, this young man who is less than 20 years old has no power of his own, no army of his own, and has been divided between the power of Empress Jiang's relatives and a group of ministers in the court, and he has to beware of uncles and uncles who are far away on the border, and it is also difficult.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jiu could only shake his head, unable to see whether all this was a blessing or a curse for him.

Now some of his plans are just on the right track, and at the same time, they have been reused by the county shou Wenjie, but when the war comes, his little shrimp will definitely not be able to keep the existing wealth.

"You still have to have your own army." , Xiao Jiu touched his chin and secretly made up his mind in his heart to speed up the pace of recruitment.

Xiao Jiu, who has been a man in two lifetimes, knows that in the real troubled times, only those who have force will have the right to speak, but if they are rich, they are tantamount to a fat sheep to be slaughtered.

But in this era, the common people have a natural resistance to enlisting in the army, and they can only change their thinking to see if they can change from recruiting professional soldiers to training guards similar to militia.

The cost of forming such a militia force will be much lower than that of training professional soldiers, and as long as a certain amount of food is distributed to them on a regular basis, they will be embraced.

Although he can't follow him to fight in the north and south like the army, it is still feasible to defend his small home in Lingshui County, and Xiao Jiu believes that as long as he does not raise the flag to rebel for a day, these people will absolutely support him.

As Xiao Jiu's order was conveyed in various towns and villages in Lingshui County, the landlords and old wealthymen who had been extorted a large amount of grain suddenly panicked.

Proletarian guilds? Monthly food per human hair? Training in the slack time? Slogan to defend Lingshui County?

Is this to train this group of lowly peasants to become bandits to rob themselves? The point is that this broken guild itself can't join yet, and only recruits the poor.

Besides, now that the four seas are peaceful, and there is no war, he Xiao Jiu is sending food and training to this group of peasants, who can he fight, can he rebel?

After that, this group of landlords who cried for their fathers and mothers rushed to the county government and went together to sue the emperor.

The county commander Liu Hong saw that all these landlords had sued him, but who did he go to to talk about his grievances, but he couldn't really ignore it, so he had to send the officials from the county government to Hare Mountain to prepare for an interview with Xiao Jiu.

But Xiao Jiu would not go down the mountain easily, and in the face of the people from the county government, he gave an answer lightly.

He is the army of Zhao'an ordered by the county guard, and Liu Hong, the county commander, has no right to intervene, and the food distributed to the people is to use his own military rations, which has nothing to do with the county government.

As for the proletarian guild, it can't be defined by forming a party and rebelling, because first, he didn't let them kill people, and second, he didn't let them cross the border, but only let them defend their villages, which is completely legal and reasonable.

When Liu Hong listened to the report of the subordinates sent by the county government, the mustache rose and fell angrily, and then repaired a letter and sent it to the county guard, but at this time, the situation in the entire officialdom was very complicated, how could he have the time to take care of this small Lingshui County.

The current Xiao Jiu can pull up a team of hundreds of people in Lingshui County in an instant, and the county makes Liu Hong and many landlords afraid, but there is no way but to let Xiao Jiu continue to grow.
