Chapter 265: The Imperial Decree of the Northern Bohou Audience
Eight hundred miles from outside the Wandering Soul Pass, one of the two messenger teams went straight to Chaoge City all the way north, and the other went straight to Jinji Ridge all the way east.
After killing E Xiao, the strong man led the barbarian warriors into the mountains and forests, and his arrogant and domineering appearance made Dou Rong's teeth itch, but he didn't dare to pursue rashly.
Nan Bohou, it's not a hybrid prince of a cat and a dog.
Although the record of the Hou is not as dazzling as the two of the Northern Xinjiang and the Zhou State, they are also the real overlords of the Southern Xinjiang, what kind of fiasco can make the sons of the Hou die on the way to ask for help?
Dou Rong didn't dare to think that if there was a good thing in Ezhou City, the Wandering Soul Pass would be the first line to resist the Jingchu defense line, and the leisurely days of the past could be said goodbye completely.
The most important thing is that the state of Chu?
The Jing-Chu Alliance, which has not been integrated, has tormented the Great Shang for more than two hundred years, and how powerful should this so-called Chu State be after integration?
Except for the Ehou, who is now facing the barbarians, no one knows.
Anyway, in addition to the king of Shang, no one in the world can call himself a king, there was a king in the ghost side in the past, and Di Xin, who was still a prince at the time, personally led a large army to directly attack the kingdom of the ghost side and slaughtered the so-called ghost royal family.
I don't know when it began, and the barbarians began to claim the throne one after another, but the big merchants gradually became unable to go to the levy one by one.
The king of Inurong, the king of earth, the king of Yiqu, and now there is a king of Chu.
The guards of the border towns in Sijiang silently watched the flowers of the big merchants and the rise of national fortunes, but the situation in Sijiang became more and more turbulent.
The detective messenger galloped all the way, rushing from the south gate into the city of Chaoge, kicking up billowing smoke and dust on the city's already modest galloping road.
The people of Chaoge City are a little noisy, in the early years, there were detectives galloping from the north gate every year, and now the north gate is a little stable, why the east gate and the south gate are frequent.
The people and ministers who migrated from Yin may think it's okay, but the aborigines of the old Mocheng feel that the days are like waves, ups and downs, ups and downs......
Day by day is not as good as day by day.
The messenger traveled unhindered all the way, and the ministers also consciously rushed to the palace of the royal court when they heard the news, and waited quietly for Di Xin to consult with them after learning the news.
Di Xin lay in Hu Ximei's arms gracefully, letting the beauty gently massage her head.
Some time ago, he was taught a lesson by the Taishi, and he also slowed down for a while before he came out of his embarrassment.
But if he really had to ask himself, he didn't feel like he had done anything wrong.
He has been on the throne for nearly six years, and he has been dealing with these ministers every day, he knows too well what the character of these ministers is, and You Cang's matter can be regarded as making him completely understand a truth.
His wealth is everyone's wealth, and everyone's wealth is not necessarily his wealth, unless ...... Raiding the family and exterminating the clan, this money comes quickly.
Whenever they need to contribute, the ministers have to drag their feet, and whenever they want to reform what system to make the big business better, these people will jump out and list all kinds of problems, to put it bluntly, they are afraid of damaging their own interests.
At least Di Xin felt that he was not stupid, sitting high on top of the Ming Hall, like a marionette every day, what others said should be, how others thought it should be, how he did it.
When he wanted to do something himself, those ministers changed, this one was unruly, that one was unreasonable, and he always asked him, the king, to accommodate and understand.
For example, the last time I wanted to go on an expedition to Dongyi, this was the case.
When the detective messenger of the Wandering Soul Pass hurried all the way to the backyard dormitory, Di Xin instantly came to his senses, pushed Hu Ximei away, picked up the Wang Jian hanging on the side of the couch, and walked out of the inner court with great interest.
You Hun, who was following behind the king, made a downward gesture to Hu Ximei, and when he saw that the king was moving in the wrong direction, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
"Where do you want to go, my lord?"
"Hahaha, You Qing, this is a godsend, the widow can finally leave this upsetting place, order troops! Point soldiers! The widow wants to drive the expedition! ”
You Hun was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, isn't it good to be stable? He really didn't understand why he had to fight with those mud-legged people on the battlefield as a king.
likes to fight, it's a big deal to build a gladiatorial arena for the king, you don't necessarily have to run to the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, if the 'Holy Monarch' and 'Ming Jun' in his eyes have a good one, then doesn't he have to re-plan and re-cultivate Yin Jiao?
"The king, go slowly, the ministers are waiting for you in the main hall, if you don't go, if the prime minister doesn't give you baggage and grain, this army will not be able to go far and will have to come back in disgrace."
Di Xin slowly slowed down, and when he thought of his good Uncle Wang, he was afraid that he would not really be able to do such a thing, and his heart felt very bored.
"This is a dispute over the country's capital, the bear is just a child with a horn, how can he have such a ability to dare to go against the widow? This is all caused by the woman of the Su family, when the widow wanted to order her to be killed, it was you and Fei Zhong who repeatedly kept her hand, and insisted on making her a widow's woman, but the person didn't get it, but left this big disaster, You Hun, are you guilty? ”
You Hun was directly frightened, knelt on the ground and trembled: "King, that woman is indeed the best in the world, otherwise how can she stir up the various tribes of Jing and Chu to fight each other, and then rely on the Chu tribe to rise!" Hun was all for the sake of the king, and he was absolutely selfless! ”
Thinking about it carefully, You Hun really had many things for him to consider, and the essence was still intimate with himself, and then his face was much more relaxed.
"You have to make up for it, quickly give the widow an idea, how to persuade the prime minister to let him agree to the widow's personal expedition!"
How to convince the prime minister? How can the prime minister be persuaded in a few words? Don't talk about them, You Hun alone thinks that this kind of thing is so stupid that it hurts the people and money, and the risk factor is extremely great.
Not only will it make Dashang high-risk, but even many of his plans will be covered with risks and become uncontrollable.
It's just that the king's words have been said to this point, as a qualified and responsible minister, how can the king continue to trust him if he doesn't solve problems for the king at this time?
You Hun was thinking a lot in his head, constantly filtering all kinds of thoughts.
It's just that no matter how you think about it, it seems that you are a little stretched to get the prime minister.
Seeing that the king's face was unhappy again, You Hun was also in a hurry, and immediately turned on the mode of throwing the pot and framing.
"Great King, the Taishi is not in Chaoge City now, what else can you be afraid of?"
"Prime Minister Bigan has always been lenient with others and strict with himself, you don't actually need to convince him, the minister has a plan, so that the prime minister can work with you with one heart and one mind, and work together to prepare for the southern expedition."
Di Xin's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help laughing, and immediately stepped forward to help You Hun cordially, and said with a kind face.
"You Qing, will the plan be released?"
"If you want to coerce the prime minister, in fact, you only need to find out his weakness, the prime minister is now old, and he wants to cultivate a suitable successor, under the doctor Yang Ren, Nong Yin Qingshi Jiang Nong, and Zong Ziyan, you only need to pretend to kill them all, and then execute one by the most cruel and tyrannical means, the prime minister will definitely be in a state of confusion and agree to your request."
"Well, the minister recommends Ziyan, the king must still know a little about your royal brother, this son is used to fanning the flames, and he likes to spread rumors in the market to smear others, when you first ascended the throne, he did not smear you."
Murder again? Di Xin hesitated a little, so he killed three old and one young who could command the army, and now he wants to take the three ministers in political affairs as bait, Rao is how he doesn't care about the opinions of the ministers, and he is also a little drumming in his heart.
"You Qing, is there a more gentle way? These people you are talking about are the pillars of my big business! ”
"But Ziyan, this kid is really broken-mouthed, he should deal with one or two, but after all, he is the widow's royal brother, and he has to find a safe way."
“……”
You Hun was silent, maybe he could be more gentle, but it doesn't matter, these three people represent different camp directions, Yang Ren was born in the new aristocracy of Chaoge, and Jiang Nong represents the old aristocracy of Yindi.
Not to mention Ziyan, when he spread rumors several times, it was this kid who got in the way, coaxed him to raise the 'cost of the water army', and even went against the tune, and reversed the dominant style of public opinion.
No matter if you choose one of the three, or two of the three, even if you choose all of them, they are all political enemies anyway, and for You Hun it is just the difference between making a big profit and making a small profit.
The two of them were speechless all the way, and quietly walked to the main hall, looking at You Hun who followed behind the king, the ministers showed disdain, and they couldn't wait to get rid of it quickly.
Di Xin handed the letter he received to Bigan, and then passed it on to the ministers, causing an instant uproar.
After skillfully waiting for the ministers to attack each other, the hall was quiet again, and Di Xin on the main seat said softly to Bigan.
"Since the founding of the Great Shang Dynasty, we have never tolerated the usurpation of the four frontiers, and the southern Xinjiang is a big matter, dare to ask the prime minister who can be the general and send troops to aid southern Xinjiang?"
Fighting must be fought, the prime minister who has always been picking and searching has the same attitude as Di Xin at this time, which is related to the country, once the big business is indifferent to the founding of Jing Chu, there should be countless imitators.
The Ehou of Southern Xinjiang is also equally important, the establishment of the four great marquis is to defend the rule of the Great Shang, once the Ehou is lost, it will be a bad omen unheard of in the five hundred years of Yin Shang Society.
The fact that the Bohou was devoured by the barbarians was bound to shock the four fields and cause an uproar among the other princes.
It's just how to fight, so that Bigan is difficult, if Chao Tian and Huang Feihu are here, why are they so stretched, and there is not even a person to transfer troops to spare.
Looking around at the generals who served the royal court, none of them could satisfy Bigan.
When his eyes turned to the king, Bigan looked at the king with a gleam in his eyes and felt a headache.
You don't have to guess to know that the king wants to drive the expedition again.
If it is said that an ordinary general goes out with an army of 100,000 and consumes 500,000 carts of grain and baggage, then the king's personal expedition, putting aside the trouble of not being able to understand government affairs, the consumption of his 100,000 army is at least 800,000 carts.
In addition to the more material consumption, the purpose of the war is easily deflected, and the most disgusting thing is that the pro-conquest is a thing that can only be won and cannot be defeated.
Winning is nothing more than increasing the prestige of the king, where does the king need to increase his prestige today, who doesn't know his courage and good fighting?
However, once you lose, the negative effects are difficult for the monarch to bear, and the small ones will lose their teachers and land, and the big ones will ruin the country and family.
The king of Dashang was defeated with the elite royal division, which is very easy to cause an avalanche-like chain reaction, and the king did not see the Wuding period, but the defeat of a war against Dongyi caused the dog Rong and Jing Chu to be the same Koubian, if it were not for the fact that the woman was as good as the gods of heaven and went down to the earth to fight and win, the royal court at this time did not know where the capital had gone.
"The king, Kong Xuan, the main general of Jinji Ridge, Yu Hualong, the main general of Panlong Ridge, and Zhang Guifang, the general of Qinglong Pass, can lead the troops to fight!"
Di Xin was furious: "Do you think that the widow is old and frail, and he is no longer brave in the past? ”
The ministers were silent, quietly watching Di Xin get angry.
The king became familiar with the ministers, and the ministers were also familiar with the king, and everyone would be sincerely afraid when they were angry, but as the king became angry and reached a compromise more often, everyone began to get used to it, and there was no original accommodation.
"King, it's really not good, it's also great to transfer the Taishi back with a letter and solve the problem in southern Xinjiang first!"
Seeing that the topic was biased to the selection of generals, You Hun could only sigh that his good brother Fei Zhong was no longer there, and in the end he could only stand up by himself, speak up for the angry king, and angrily scold the ministers.
"Taishi, Taishi! Every time something goes wrong with you, all you think of is the Taishi, who is already over 90 years old, do you want to use the Taishi as a cow and a horse? ”
"The huge internal service of the royal court, I can't find a general who can take the king to the battle, the king, the minister You Hun wants to risk his life to impeach the officials in the royal court who are responsible for selecting talents and soldiers, dare to ask your colleagues, who is responsible for this matter at the moment?"
The ministers looked at You Hun angrily, what is the impeachment of officials who are selected to be appointed as scholars, why are there no generals in Chaoge City, don't you You Hun know?
If it weren't for you ministers who used tricks, killed three generals in anger, and forced the generals away, how could the internal service be so lacking in the talent of the generals?
Are all generals really turnips in the ground, one plucked at a time?
And Bigan's gaze at You Hun was particularly dangerous, almost to the point where he wanted to kill him as quickly as possible.
"Why don't you speak? If Hun remembers correctly, the person in charge, Dr. Shang Rong, has returned to his hometown some time ago with advanced age and lack of energy, and the current person in charge should be His Royal Highness Ziyan, and the adjutant is Dr. Yang! ”
As soon as You Hun finished speaking, Bigan grabbed Ziyan and Yang Ren, and motioned for the two to step back and not get involved in this matter.
"The king, Bigan is willing to help you drive the expedition, but there are two conditions, I hope the king will agree."
Di Xin was stunned at first, and then ecstatic, You Qing's strategy really worked, this was all before the issue of killing people was discussed, and the prime minister actually took the initiative to retreat and agreed to his request.
"Uncle Wang, although he said it, no one should allow it."
"The king, there are two things that Bigan asks, one is to please punish Youhun, and return me to the peace of the court, and the other is to ask the king to recruit the Northern Bohou Meng to taste the song of the court, if these two things are agreed, the minister is willing to collect millions of grain for the king to help the southern Xinjiang army."
“……”
You Hun was shocked, was the prime minister moved from his shell? How did he begin to learn not to talk about martial arts, and he actually had to use the tactic of exchanging houses with him, pointing to the core of his problem.
"The king, the death of Weichen is a small matter, and the matter of recruiting the Northern Bohou must not be!!"
