On the official road, a group of people rode horses and galloped.

As May approaches, the weather in the Northland begins to get hotter, and the midday sun shines a faintly like the illusion of midsummer.

After a few moments, the group slowed down and stopped in a forest.

Zhe Keqiu found a piece of grass and sat down, and the rest of the guards began to feed the war horses.

"Father, why do we have to put a hot face on a cold ass? I have broken my family to guard the border pass for generations and guard the gate for the Central Plains, can he be an exception for the Qi country? ”

Zhi Yanwen took off the kettle on his waist and complained in his mouth.

In his opinion, although the Zhe family only occupies the land of the three mansions, it is indispensable, and no matter who is in charge of the Central Plains, the Zhi family needs to guard the gate for the Central Plains to defend against foreigners.

Guo Que'er is like this, and so is Zhao Kuangyin, why did he get to Han Zhen, so did he have to fold the pole and beg the other party?

Zhe Keqiu sighed slightly: "Times have changed. ”

Qi's Northern Expedition frightened many people.

It took less than two months to recover Xijing Road, and every battle was won, and Yan Zonghan and the hundreds of thousands of Xilu troops under his command were defeated, and finally fled to Zhongjing Road in a panic.

This is Wanyan Zonghan.

The fierce generals of the Western Route Army under his command are like clouds, and it is not an exaggeration to call them the most elite army in the Jin Kingdom.

Conquer Liao, attack Song, Pingxi Xia, and never lose.

As a result, he was beaten and had no power to fight back, who was not scared?

Previously, Han Zhen promised the Western Xia that as long as the troops did not move, he would cede the Tiande Army, Yunnei, and Dongsheng to the Western Xia.

Now does Li Qianshun dare to mention the affairs of these three states?

I don't even dare to put a fart.

I was afraid that Han Zhen would lead a large army to enter from Dongshengzhou, unite with the Western Army of the Northwest Fifth Road, and destroy Western Xia with ease.

Even the Western Xia clamped his tail and behaved, let alone this feudal town.

Zhe Yanwen is just inexperienced, not stupid.

Previously, the second uncle was captured and surrendered to the Jin Kingdom, and his father was extremely calm, but now his face was full of sadness, which made his heart tighten: "Father, let's break the family to guard the border for generations, shouldn't the Emperor of Qi take us to the knife?" ”

Zhe Keqiu said in a deep voice: "Judging from the Emperor of Qi's wanton appointment of Yelu Yujian and Gao Qingyi, these former ministers of the Liao State, it is quite a heroic atmosphere, such a person will never be satisfied with only taking back the sixteen states of Yanyun, and now he needs to clean up Zhao and Song, so he will not move the Jin State, Western Xia or even Dali for the time being, but in another three or five years, when the country is stable and the warehouse is abundant, you can look at it, and the Qi State will inevitably launch a war to destroy the country." As for who will be destroyed first, it is impossible to say. ”

"Even these three kingdoms are still like this, how can he tolerate such a hereditary vassal town as our family?"

Zhi Yanwen was shocked: "Father is saying that Qi Guo wants to eradicate my Zhen family?" ”

Zhi Keqiu smiled bitterly: "Some time ago, I sent you to Yunzhong just to test the reaction of the Qi Kingdom. When I learned that the emperor of Qi had been talking about him left and right, and did not talk about the matter of returning, he knew bad things for his father, and this trip to Taiyuan was my last chance to break the family, and I did my best to obey the destiny of heaven. ”

After resting for half an hour, the group set off again.

……

Following.

Early in the morning, Han Zhen was sitting in the backyard, practicing breathing.

Lao Jiu stood silently aside, guarding left and right.

Wei Da also taught him the breathing method back then, but he couldn't calm down, and after practicing for a while, he saw that it was useless, so he simply stopped practicing.

Taoist things are like this, pay attention to a step-by-step, better than persistence.

After practicing for three years, Han Zhen no longer cares about whether he can increase his strength, and only regards it as a method of calming his mind and calming his breath.

Practice every morning to refresh.

After Han Zhen exhaled a breath of turbid breath and slowly opened his eyes, Lao Jiu spoke: "Your Majesty, you can ask for it, and now you are kneeling outside the Marshal's Mansion to ask for guilt." ”

Han Zhen laughed and said, "I guessed right, this old fox really played a bitter trick. ”

Lao Jiu asked, "Then Your Majesty will see it or not?" ”

"Let him wait for me in the study."

Han Zhen gave an order, and immediately changed into a regular suit and enjoyed breakfast.

Outside the marshal's mansion, Zhe Keqiu and Zhe Yanwen couldn't kneel, which attracted many officials and ordinary people to watch.

"Who are these two?"

"I don't recognize it."

"Xu is Qiu Ba who committed a crime in the army."

“……”

Listening to the whispers of the onlookers, Zhi Yanwen looked embarrassed, but he always maintained a sad look on the side.

Just then, there was the sound of heavy footsteps.

Lao Jiu walked out of the door and said loudly: "Your Majesty can ask for the father and son to see you." ”

Crash!

As soon as these words came out, the onlookers suddenly exploded.

Fold!

These two people turned out to be the heads of the folded family.

Taiyuan is close to Fuzhou, so the name of the general, almost everyone in Taiyuan knows, no one knows.

"There are Lauro are handsome."

Zhe Keqiu stood up and arched his hand towards Lao Jiu with a smile.

Lao Jiu led the two into the marshal's mansion and went straight to the study.

"Fold the prefect and sit down, Your Majesty will come later."

"Just stand still."

I asked for it, but I didn't sit down.

Seeing that he insisted, Lao Jiu didn't say much.

If you want to stand, then let him stand.

A quarter of an hour later, Han Zhen stepped into the study and sat down at the back of the desk.

Zhe Ke begged for a bow in his heart, and hurriedly knelt on the ground to pay respects: "The guilty minister greets Your Majesty." ”

Seeing this, Han Zhen smiled and said, "What is the crime of the prefect?" ”

Zhe Keqiu said sincerely: "The criminal minister saw that he was late, and he should have entered Beijing to meet His Majesty at the beginning of the year, but unfortunately he was ill, and the Western Xia and Jin Kingdom were ready to move, so it has been delayed until today, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me." ”

Take a look.

What is an old fox?

In contrast, Zheyanwen is as simple as a blank sheet of paper.

Han Zhen said softly: "The prefect of Zhefu has guarded the border for many years, fought with the Western Xia every year, worked hard and made great achievements, and was tired and injured. ”

Zhe Keqiu looked grateful: "Thank you for Your Majesty's concern, Weichen is grateful." ”

Han Zhen smiled slightly, and ordered: "Hurry up and invite the prefect of Zhefu, come here, watch the seat, and serve tea." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhi Ke begged to thank him and led Zhi Yanwen to sit down.

After a few words of greeting, he begged for a reason: "Your Majesty, Weichen has something to ask for, and I hope that Your Majesty will fulfill it." ”

"What?"

Han Zhen asked quietly.

Zhe Keqiu arched his hand and said: "Although the dog has reached the crown, but the inferiority has not changed, the Guozijian is the place where Wenhua is prosperous, Weichen wants to let the dog enter the Guozijian, seek learning, and get rid of the bad habits." ”

Scold!

The fox's tail is finally revealed.

It's just that if you send a proton to Bianjing, you want to protect your family?

There is no such cheap thing in the world.

Han Zhen smiled slightly: "I have agreed to this matter." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhe Ke asked for a joy in his heart, and hurriedly got up to thank him.

It's just that Han Zhen's next words made his heart completely hang.

"The Zhejia has guarded the border for more than 200 years, and several generations have died on the battlefield in order to protect the family and country, and they have worked hard and made great achievements. Now I know that the prefect of Zhefu is in poor health, but he is still struggling in the bitter cold place, I can't bear it, and I want to crown Aiqing as the king of Zhelan and crown prince Shaobao. ”

King Zhelan was originally the king of the Xiongnu tribe in the Han Dynasty and one of the gold tribes.

The Zhe family is a descendant of Xianbei, tracing back to the origin, and the ancestors are the descendants of the Zhelan clan.

Han Zhen named him the king of Zhelan, which is also in line with his identity.

In addition, the last generation of the Xiongnu Zhelan King was killed by the champion Hou Huo, which is self-evident.

King Zhelan, the prince is young!

In an instant, the heart of Zhe Keqiu stirred up turbulent waves.

Han Zhen's methods are not clever, they are just a plan to ascend and descend secretly, but this is a brilliant plan.

If you can ask for it, then you have to go to Beijing honestly and be an idle prince.

If you don't accept it, it is disrespectful.

This Zhelan King, whether he accepts it or not, the foundation of the Zhe family in Sanfu cannot be kept.

Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Han Zhen gradually restrained his smile and frowned: "Could it be that the prefect of Zhe is still interested in the pseudo-Song Dynasty and is unwilling to accept my reward?" ”

He begged for a spirit, and hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty misunderstood, this is not the case. ”

"What does that mean?"

Han Zhen asked.

There was no way to retreat when he was forced to retreat, he laughed miserably, and pleaded in a pleading tone: "Your Majesty, please leave a trace of affection for the sake of my folding family for more than 200 years, guarding the gate for the Central Plains." ”

Han Zhen said coldly: "It is precisely because of the fact that you have broken your family for so many years and several generations have died on the battlefield that I have allowed Ling, the king of Zhelan, otherwise the tens of thousands of Qingzhou troops under my command, as well as the western army of the Northwest Fifth Road, have already arrived in the city of Fuzhou!" ”

He begged or didn't give up, and begged: "Your Majesty, have I ever done anything out of the ordinary in the past 200 years of guarding the border?" Over the years, they have been conscientious and conscientious, and there are hundreds of children of the family who have died on the battlefield. Your Majesty is broad-minded and swallows all over the world, why can't he tolerate a small land of three mansions? ”

Han Zhen's sharp eyes stared at him, exuding a stunning momentum all over his body, and said word by word: "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and under my rule, no country and China are allowed!" ”

“……”

It is possible to be silent.

Han Zhen's resoluteness towards the Zhenjia Domain made him unexpected.

The point is, there is no way back.

At this time, Han Zhen promised: "You have worked hard and made great achievements, and I see it in my eyes, and I will allow you to be the heir of King Lan, the heir, and retire with the country." ”

The title of Qi inherited from the Tang and Song dynasties, and was twelve, from high to low, they were princes, heirs, county kings, princes, county princes, founding princes, founding county dukes, founding county dukes, founding marquis, founding uncles, founding sons, and founding men.

The title decreases with each generation.

For example, the children of the clan are named princes, and the children are reduced to heirs, and the grandchildren are reduced to the kings of the county...... And so on.

Hereditary recklessness and retirement with the country are not among them, and their children and grandchildren are all heirs.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhe Keqiu sighed and bowed his head to thank him.

With the eight generations of the Zhe family's family business and the land of the three mansions, in exchange for a hereditary Zhelan King, this transaction will definitely be a loss, but at least it will make Zhe Keqiu feel better.

Seeing this, Han Zhen restrained his evil anger and said with a smile: "King Zhelan understands the general situation and takes care of the overall situation, I am very pleased. ”

"Your Majesty, now under the rule of Lin, Fu, and Feng, there are 30,000 Han troops and 8,000 Fan troops, and I ask Your Majesty to send someone to receive them."

Now that the ending has been decided, instead of covering it up and causing the disaster of killing, it is better to let it out generously, and it can also appear to be upright and please His Majesty.

"There's no hurry."

Han Zhen waved his hand.
