The old man burst into tears and pleaded: "Your Majesty, your eldest cousin left early, and the third uncle is such a son, so he should leave a back for my Wu family, beat the board, and teach a lesson." The third uncle swore to heaven that he would be strictly disciplined in the future and would never let him do evil again. ”

Han Zhen asked, "He is my cousin, isn't the merchant who was killed my people?" ”

Seeing his resolute tone, the old man began to play the emotional card: "Second son, you are the emperor, are you so ruthless?" When your mother died, I still organized the funeral for your family! ”

Han Zhen sneered: "And then take advantage of the situation to occupy my family's five acres of land?" ”

He didn't say that it was okay, but when he said it, Han Zhen remembered it.

At that time, Han Zhen was still young and ignorant, and the eldest brother was a sick seedling, and his third uncle deceived five acres of fertile land by helping with the funeral.

The old man's face was stunned, and he was about to quibble, but Han Zhen was too lazy to talk nonsense, and scolded: "Liu Zhixian, what are you waiting for? ”

Liu Yong was suddenly agitated, and immediately ordered the arrester to drag the relatives of the offender out of the hall and take him to prison.

As the relatives of the offender were escorted away, the lobby was a little empty.

The remaining seven aunts and eight aunts all looked at him with fearful eyes.

"After all, it's a relative, I can't bear to let you suffer, but there will be no pie in the sky, don't expect to sit back and enjoy it. This Qi country was defeated by me with one knife and one shot, and if you want to be rich, you also need to fight for it yourself. ”

Han Zhen paused, and said loudly: "If you want to get rich, take a step forward, for the sake of your relatives, I will show you a clear way!" ”

For a while, the clansmen in the lobby had different expressions.

Most of these people are honest people, and now their lives are much better than before, and they don't want to go out, they just want to be honest and farm at home.

However, there are also people who are unwilling to be mediocre and want to fight.

After a while, more than twenty people stepped out, and these people were basically strong men in their teens and twenties.

Young people are strong-blooded and can't stand poverty, and now that they have the opportunity, they naturally have to grasp it.

"Second brother, I want to get rich."

"I want to too!"

Han Zhen Zhengse said: "Let's talk about it first, this road is risky, and if you don't do it well, you will die, but it will be very profitable, and it will be worth the fields you have planted for 30 years!" ”

A young man said in a loud voice: "People die and birds face the sky, and I have enough of these days when I face the loess and turn my back to the sky." ”

"Fourth brother is right!"

"It's done!"

The young people who were still a little hesitant were all excited.

Han Zhen nodded and ordered, "In this case, wait and stay." The rest of the people dispersed, go back and live a good life, if anyone dares to bully the market and bully men and women in the name of me, they will not be spared. But don't worry, no one dares to insult you at will. ”

Soon, all the men, women and children dispersed, leaving only about 20 men.

"Liu Zhixian."

"Wechen is here."

Han Zhen instructed: "Tomorrow, I will send someone to send them to Qingdao Town and hand them over to Dean Yang of the Trade Institute, and I will say that I ordered them to take them to the sea to do business." ”

Liu Yong bowed down and responded: "Weichen takes orders." ”

Hearing that they were going to sea to do business, the eyes of the clansmen lit up.

The young man who spoke earlier smiled bitterly: "Second...... Your Majesty, we don't have the capital to do business. ”

Han Zhen waved his hand: "You don't need to worry about the cost. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Everyone was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked them clumsily.

After dealing with housework, Han Zhen stood up and patted Liu Yong on the shoulder: "I'm leaving, say hello to my sister-in-law on my behalf." ”

Liu Yong said solemnly: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will guard Linzi County well!" ”

……

……

Chukyo.

As we move into November, the weather in the north has begun to turn cold.

In the barracks, the sound of tens of thousands of soldiers' drills gathered together and resounded in the sky.

The fiasco when he went south in the spring made Wanyan Zongwang hurt his muscles and bones, but it was not fatal.

Because the Jin country is fierce and restrained, it is equivalent to a small tribe.

As long as there are Jurchens, they can form a large army in an instant.

As for the Liao people and Han'er, if they die, they will die, and they will be able to recruit a new batch immediately.

In addition, Wanyan Zongwang secretly reached an agreement with some Bohai nobles that as long as he could help him destroy the Qi State and ascend to the throne, he would assign the Hetao Plain south of Yinshan to them.

With such a big temptation, the Bohai nobles almost did not hesitate, and immediately agreed.

It is said that the Jurchens can fight, but in fact, the Bohai people are not bad.

The Jin people can reverse the Liao State, and the Bohai people occupy at least three successful labors.

It is precisely because the Bohai people are brave and good at fighting that the Jurchens will be afraid of them, not only to use them, but also to be on guard at all times.

So, in just a few months, Wanyan Zongwang gathered an army of 100,000 again.

Among them, 15,000 Jurchens, 30,000 Bohai people, and the rest are carefully selected Liao people and Han'er.

Even if it was built for a few months, its combat power was extremely strong.

Liu Yanzong stepped to Wanyan Zongwang's side and said softly: "Du Shuai, the grain and grass from Huining Mansion have been sent, but it is only 150,000 stones, which is half less. ”

"Humph!"

Wanyan Zongwang snorted coldly: "Your Majesty really learned everything from the Song people." ”

Liu Yanzong's face was worried: "150,000 stone grain and grass, even if you save a little, it is only enough for the soldiers to eat until February and March of the next year, not to mention the reserve of grain to start a big war." ”

Although Wanyan Wu begged to buy no military power, he was in charge of the treasury and grain.

Now, he is clearly using grain to jam the necks of Yan Zonghan and Zong Wang, in an attempt to sabotage their plan to attack Qi in the Song Dynasty.

After all, soldiers always have to eat.

The country of Qi is not destroyed, and Han Zhen is not dead, but in fact, Wanyan Wu begs to buy and does not care.

What he cares about is that after destroying the Qi State, the power and prestige of Wanyan Zonghan and Zongwang will completely override the imperial power, and at that time, he will be a complete puppet at the mercy of others.

"It doesn't matter."

Wanyan Zongwang waved his hand and sneered: "After a while, I will contact Sticky Han and ask him to mobilize several Bo Ji Lie to put pressure on His Majesty." At that time, His Majesty will have to agree if he doesn't agree, and he can't help it! ”

Wanyan Zonghan is the Xiangguo faction, he is the prince's faction, the two parties are united, what about the emperor?

In the final analysis, this Jin country is still a tribal council system, and there is not much imperial power.

During this time, in addition to recruiting and training the army, he focused more on discussing the division of the Qi country.

With the participation of the Quartet, the interests of all parties need to be balanced.

At present, it is almost finished, and only some minor details remain.

……

Sure enough.

Wanyan Zonghan and the two joined forces to exert pressure, and even if Wanyan Wu begged to buy reluctantly, he could only pinch his nose and admit it, and agreed to unite the Song State and the Western Xia State to conquer the Qi State.

Grain trucks were transported from Huining Mansion to Xijing and Zhongjing.

……

……

After going out on tour to Kaifeng, Han Zhen lived in a simple place, focusing on handling government affairs and preparing for war.

With the end of the summer harvest and the autumn harvest, after realizing the benefits of spreading the land into the mu, the people under the rule have completely stabilized, and the various ministries and courtyards have operated in an orderly manner.

Time flies by and comes to the end of the year.

During this period, Wanyan Zonghan did not send troops to harass and plunder, and the southern Song Kingdom was also silent.

Even, even Western Xia chose to hibernate.

Everyone enjoys a rare peace, but they don't know that the surface is calm, but behind the scenes, there is an undercurrent, and a shocking war is brewing.

Wait for the right moment to burst out completely.

December 28.

As the New Year approaches, the city of Tokyo is in a celebratory atmosphere.

The streets and alleys are red and colorful, and they are very lively.

As the emperor, Han Zhen ushered in the busiest days of the year.

The major affairs of the country are in worship and Rong.

Every year, it is necessary to worship heaven and earth, Taimiao, three emperors and five emperors.

In addition, Han Zhen also had to prepare for the big court meeting in a few days.

After a busy day, it was evening, and he could finally rest.

Lean on a chair in the arched hall and sip hot tea.

At this moment, Lao Jiu hurriedly entered the main hall and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, General Xiaozhong sent a secret performance. ”

"Bring it in."

Han Zhen put down the teacup and ordered.

After taking over the secret music, I first checked it and confirmed that it was correct, and then I opened it for inspection.

The tantric music is very long, but the meaning expressed is only two words, ask for food!

There is no food on the Northwest Five Road!

Zhao Ji obviously didn't want to be the boss anymore, and as early as two months ago, he stopped the food supply to the Northwest Fifth Road and Hedong Road.

It is all supported by the tax grain of the summer harvest and two seasons.

But the northwest is a bitter cold land, the land is barren, and the grain production is scarce, so it can't last long.

Putting down the secret music, Han Zhen shook his head and smiled: "Zhao Ji is decisive enough. ”

He thought that Zhao Ji would send someone to the northwest to take away the military power of Liu, Yao, and Chong and replace it with his own.

As a result, I didn't expect this guy to be so decisive, and he directly abandoned the Northwest Fifth Road without blinking an eye.

It has to be said that this decision was the right one.

With the influence of these three families in the northwest, it is useless to change generals, and the prestige accumulated over several generations can be wiped out in a short period of time?

At that time, these three families raised their arms and shouted, and the soldiers of the Western Army still killed the officials and opened the door to welcome the king into the city.

Thinking of this, Han Zhen wrote, Long Fei Feng Wu wrote a handwritten edict, and called the chamberlain: "Send it to the cabinet and let the household approve the grain." ”

There is no way, Zhao Ji doesn't care, but he can't stand by.

Otherwise, how did the seed master and Yao Gu think of him, and how did the soldiers of the Western Army view him?

Lao Jiu proposed: "Your Majesty, there has been no movement on the Zhi family's side, and I don't know what the idea is, do you want to send someone to test it?" ”

"No need."

Han Zhen waved his hand and sneered: "The Zhe family, this sitting tiger, obviously wants to wait and see, who wins and who will help whom!" ”

From the perspective of the folders, who wins is in their best interests.

After all, the Zhe family has been running Sanzhou for hundreds of years, earlier than the founding of the Zhao and Song dynasties.

And these three states are the gateways to the northwest, no matter how the Central Plains regime changes, they need to be co-opted and guard the gateway for themselves.

This was the case at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Later Zhou Dynasty, and the Zhao and Song dynasties.

Therefore, in the eyes of the Zhe family, the same is true of the Qi State.

But he underestimated Han Zhen's ambitions, under his rule, he couldn't even accommodate a small black mountain village, how could he tolerate a country China?

If the folded family is interested, Han Zhen will also make him decent.

If you don't know how to be interested, you can help the family be decent!

Hearing this, Lao Jiu showed indignation: "It turns out that this old fox wants to be a grass on the wall, but I used to think that the children of the Zhe family were iron-clad men." ”

Han Zhen smiled slightly, but didn't say much.

The ass determines the mind.

At the beginning, Lao Jiu was just a big soldier in the Western Army, and the Zhejia had guarded the northwest for many years, and he had fought hundreds of battles with Western Xia, of course, he admired.

But now, Lao Jiu is the capital of Qi State, and his perspective on things has naturally changed.

At this time, Han Zhen suddenly asked, "By the way, Siniang is pregnant?" ”

This sudden question made Lao Jiu stunned.

After a few moments, he replied, "It's still ...... Not yet. ”

Han Zhen instructed: "From today on, you are allowed to take a month's rest, go home and make people, when your mother-in-law is pregnant, when will you come back to duty." ”

"This ......"

Lao Jiu couldn't laugh or cry.

Han Zhen waved his hand: "What is this, hurry up." ”

"The last will be retired."

After hesitating for a moment, Lao Jiu arched his hand and turned to leave.

Seeing his back disappear from view, Han Zhen couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Lao Jiu's guy can be regarded as starting from the end of Weiwei with him, and he has always been loyal.

The big war is coming, he will definitely drive the personal expedition, as the commander of the guard, Lao Jiu will naturally have to guard the whole process.

On the battlefield, no one can say whether it is life or death, and after staying, the incense can always be continued.

There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great.

In the future generations when the average person is seventy or eighty years old, this sentence is obviously a bit outdated, but in today's era when the average life expectancy is only more than thirty years old, and the sacrifice is greater than the sky, it is intolerable to have no queen.

Sacrificing ancestors has been engraved in the genes of Chinese people.

Even in the future generations, if you dig someone else's ancestral grave or ancestral hall, people will find you desperately with a knife, let alone at this time.
