Chapter 264, Northern Expedition

This time, the seven state capitals who were transferred to Seventy Percent of North County were all carefully selected by Rong Qingzhang.

Before leaving, he summoned the seven people to talk and handed over the people of the seven cities of the northern county to them.

The seven felt that they had a great responsibility on their shoulders, and as the second batch of students after the imperial examination, each of them had the ambition to serve the country and the people.

If they can develop the seven cities of Beijun well, they will naturally make a great contribution.

Ying Lili was not lazy in the palace, and often took his son out of the palace to observe the people's feelings.

It's not often that the little ones come to such a lively place.

It didn't take long for the initial estrangement to dissipate, and the mother and son became extremely harmonious and intimate.

followed Ying Lili all day long, and her mother kept shouting.

"Ouch, the mother is here."

Chen Kee Bun Shop.

The boss Lao Chen saw Ying Lili and greeted him with a smile.

Ying Lili led his son forward, and the people next to him knelt and kowtowed.

"Get up, go on patrol." She said: "It's just Lao Chen's sharp eyes." ”

Lao Chen laughed and said: "Niangniang came to the grass people's shop to buy steamed buns when she was a child, can you know it." ”

He packed four buns, "Mother, is it still the same?" ”

"Yes!" Took his son to sit down at the open-air table next to him, "Two bowls of porridge, one plate of side dishes." ”

The little prince's big eyes rolled.

Ying Lili said: "These people will be your people in the future, and your task is to keep them fed and clothed, and to let their children have books to read." ”

When the bun was served, she picked one up, and it was hot.

Then he used his hand to make a fan to dispel heated discussions.

Almost, stuffed into the son's hands.

"My mother's favorite is Lao Chen's buns."

The little prince took a bite, the juice gushed out, and his eyes suddenly widened.

"Mother's ......"

"Take a sip." She squinted her eyes and smiled and teased, "You can't waste it, this is all the food that the people have worked so hard to grow." ”

"Got it, mother." The little prince sucked a mouthful of the gravy, it was really delicious.

A bun went down and was fed a small half bowl of porridge.

"Lao Chen, you're busy, let's go take a look elsewhere." The people who followed him bought a few more and went to the palace while it was hot.

Lao Chen was very busy here, "Hey, Niangniang and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will walk slowly, and come back next time." ”

"Good!"

Kyoto is safe.

With the efforts of the Dingguo Mansion, it has almost reached the point of not closing the door at night.

In addition, in some places, arable land is distributed to the common people.

The tax revenue is also much higher than when the first emperor was alive.

The government also strictly controlled the rise and fall of grain prices in accordance with the will of the imperial court, and with the blessing of the wind and rain, the people of Dazhao in the past two years may have eaten too much, at least less starved to death.

This is already progress.

Wealthy families in other places have also begun to clamp their tails and become people.

Once you make a mistake, the government will really raid your home.

After the cultivated land was returned to the imperial court, it was distributed to the local people.

Especially those big families, the title deeds in their hands are getting smaller and smaller.

The cultivated land in the hands of the people, they did not dare to touch.

If you move, the consequences will be unimaginable.

It is impossible to occupy the people's farmland through bad means.

In Kyoto, school-age children, both men and women, attend the school.

It is extremely difficult to change the status quo, especially if a woman is an official.

Ying Lili did not rush to try.

But it's okay to teach them some crafts, as well as to read and write.

**

Summer.

Ying Lili rushed to the border again.

After half a year of trimming, and devilish training.

The spiritual outlook of the soldiers in the north has reached a higher level.

At the end of the inspection, Ying Lili announced that half a month later, he would launch a war against Beili.

"General."

At night, Ying Lili looked at the starry sky overhead outside.

Zhao Ying and Han Ling stepped forward.

Han Ling said: "The general has something on his mind? ”

Ying Lili shook his head, "I just feel that the war I initiated on my initiative is against my original intention." However, this war had to be fought. ”

Han Ling nodded, "Yes, I have to fight." Once Beili is allowed to breathe, my Dazhao will definitely not be stable, and only by completely defeating Beili can the war end. ”

Zhao Ying pursed his lips and looked disgusted, "General, what do you think, how many wars have Beili launched against us, and the people of the seven cities of Beijun are even more living people, in their eyes, animals are not as good, we are doing the right thing for heaven." ”

Ying Lili chuckled, "Stop the war with war, that's all." ”

A detailed battle plan unfolds.

There are already strategists, and they have entered the north.

This half month is to give time to the counselors.

Half a month has arrived.

The Jokhang Iron Rider left for the north.

When I arrived at the border, I thought I would encounter the most brutal resistance.

Unexpectedly, the other party actually surrendered without a fight.

Ying Lili looked at the coach of Beili in front of him, his eyes calm.

"General Tan, do you know that surrendering without a fight will leave a stain in the history books in the future."

General Tan's face was disgraced.

He didn't know.

"I know."

"But......" Ying Lili said, "I am willing to use you." ”

General Tan looked up sharply, as if he couldn't believe it.

Ying Lili said: "Yes, I am willing to use you." ”

"But General Tan, you should understand that there is a big difference between pretending to surrender and really surrendering."

"There is no more infighting in the royal family in the north, and it is not only the common people who suffer, but also the courtiers who stand in more queues."

"For more than half a year, three generations of emperors have left the throne in the north, which is unheard of."

"General Tan, Beili did not die with weakness, but collapsed because of strength."

"The princes of this generation of Beili, each of them is a strong man in ten thousand, because he is too strong, he is unconvinced, and such a strong infighting is the death knell of Beili."

"Do you think they will be willing to give in?"

General Tan pondered for a long time.

Finally, he shook his head bitterly, "No." ”

Although he has been on the border for a long time, he does not often appear in the court.

However, he still knows a little about the character of this generation of princes such as Bei Limo.

Everyone has to fight.

Even if you know how tragic the end of the infighting is.

But they were very suspicious.

Whoever ascends to the throne will find it difficult for the other brothers to survive.

Those proud princes and princes, who are willing to entrust their lives to the conscience of others.

Conscience, how much is it worth?

Where there is the supreme throne is important.

Let's talk about Dazhao.

If it weren't for the new emperor succeeding to the throne, the emperor would still be there.

The other princes would not be so obedient.

"General Tan is sincere and obedient, and the soldiers behind us will not die."

"But if General Tan pretends to surrender, there will be many innocent people who will die because of your plan."

"If you only protect the Beili Imperial Family, I can spare their lives."

"But General Tan, we are protecting the thousands of people behind us."

"The people are the most important, the monarch is light, and the community is second!"

After that, she patted General Tan on the shoulder, "There are some wars that can be eliminated." There is some blood, which can not be shed. ”

Looking back at the neat Jokhang soldiers.

Ying Lili said loudly: "Follow me into the city, don't disturb the people, don't loot, violators, behead!" ”

"Yes!" Shouted in unison, resounding through the sky.

It also shocked the soldiers of Beili. (End of chapter)
