The Western Expedition is a big affair and all things are complicated, and it can be agreed on unless it is a big court meeting, and it can be called a complete merit to set the tone for this major national policy that is destined to rekindle the flames of Zhou Tianfeng. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After a series of dazzling personnel and troop transfers, interspersed with many factions and even battles for succession, the Son of Heaven was pleased with the prosperity of the courtiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the harmony of the clan, and finally gave an eight-character comment of "The son is filial piety and virtuous, and I am very comforted".

Today's court meeting is full of treacherous clouds, endless swords and swords, the princes and ministers will inevitably have to weigh and calculate, it really took a lot of effort, at this time most of them subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and said in their hearts that this seemingly hasty but in fact the great court meeting held by the Son of Heaven is finally coming to an end.

The Son of Heaven stopped talking, and Si Litai supervised his words and looks, and for the first time today, he had the opportunity to shout out that sentence: "If there is something to start, there is no capital to retreat!"

This was originally a formality, and the high-ranking princes and ministers in the palace did not have a few major matters that needed to be decided by the Son of Heaven at hand, but no one would stand up at this time to annoy people.

Who expected that before the eunuch finished speaking, someone replied loudly: "There will be a kick-off at the end!"

This sound was like a flood of bells, and some ministers who had begun to wander into the world woke up in an instant, and their hearts moved according to their reputations.

The voice is the young master of the Luoxia Gongxi clan - Gongxi Xiaobai!

Only then did everyone suddenly remember that the Son of Heaven had chatted with Li Beihai and Dongfang Zhiguo, two important figures in the border towns, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they all talked happily on their faces, but they only snubbed the young master of the Luoxia Gongxi clan.

Under the complicated gaze of countless people, I saw Gongxi Xiaobai, who was dressed in a wolf fur white robe, walking unhurriedly to the center of the main hall, and paused: "Under the command of General Luoxia, the captain of the white wolf Gongxi Xiaobai will meet Your Majesty!"

The Son of Heaven didn't respond, just stared at Gongxi Xiaobai and didn't speak.

This kind of gaze, no matter who you are, will inevitably have a feeling of thorns in your back.

The atmosphere in the Taihe Hall suddenly froze, and everyone had a cultivator, and their breath was as restrained as possible.

Gongxi Xiaobai always maintained his posture of pause, standing still like a mountain rock, without even the slightest trembling, and no one could see his expression.

It seemed like it was just a moment, and it seemed that a long time had passed, and the Son of Heaven finally spoke in silence: "What is the matter with Qing?"

Gongxi Xiaobai moved, straightened his upper body, lowered his head slightly, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Gongxi will not abandon the son of heaven, and take Luoxia a county to Xu Zhi, although there is no name of the king of the county, but there is a fact of ripping the soil, his father has been awarded the position of general, and the whole family is grateful. ”

When the Son of Heaven heard this, he smiled faintly: "I have always known the loyalty of your Gongxi clan. ”

Gongxi Xiaobai hurriedly paused again, and then straightened up again and said: "The former Xirong is rampant, contemptuous of the Son of Heaven, and repeatedly invades, and all those who are loyal and bloody in our clan are all angry, and they have no choice but to go north to meet the enemy. The last general came to Beijing to ask for guilt, and second, he was willing to dedicate these three hundred miles to His Majesty, and implored His Majesty to set up county and county military towns in this place, and stationed officials and border troops, so that the field of the Rong people would always be the land of the Zhou!"

There was a buzz, and the murmur in the hall was endless.

In the eyes of the people of the Central Plains and even the temples, the Gongxi clan is a barbarian who is not much stronger than Rong Di's generation, and his own bloodline is suspicious.

What Gongxi Xiaobai said was too unexpected, Gongxi, who was like a wolf and a tiger, was willing to spit out the fat in his mouth again?

The Son of Heaven was also a little stunned, and said with a smile: "Oh, this is fresh, I heard that the Qushui River Valley is a rare place where water and grass are abundant, and the grassland between Luoxia County is the best place to raise horses, is your Gongxi clan really willing to do it?"

Gongxi Xiaobai raised his head, and the expression on his face was extremely sincere: "Although the last general is a rude person, he also admires the teachings of the sage, and knows the truth that the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, Gongxi's clan is the minister of the Son of Heaven, and the land he has laid is naturally the Son of Heaven, and my clan can get a county of land, and I am already satisfied, and I dare not think about it again!"

The Son of Heaven suffocated, the so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, this young master of Gongxi behaved so deferentially, some words are not easy to say, after all, the credit of expanding the land is really not small, even if you know that the possibility of achieving it is very small, you must show it on your face, otherwise you will not be able to appease the tyrants in the towns of the world.

He swept Cao Xianzhi with his eyes, since it was related to the four towns in the northwest, this wicked man naturally wanted Cao Hutou to be the leader.

Cao Xian, who had just been beaten, comprehended, and immediately went out of work and said sharply to Gongxi Xiaobai: "Young Master Gongxi, as far as I know, the wolf of the Gongxi clan rode south without an edict, not only occupied Tianshui County, but also set fire to the army, robbed property and food, and so far has not left, Liang Teng, the chief soldier of Ganzhou, has been impeached many times, and you actually led the troops to Qingyang City, and only withdrew after showing off your might, how do you explain these things?"

Gongxi Xiaobai turned his head to look at Cao Xianzhi, bowed his hand, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The last general will also congratulate your lord on opening the mansion and building teeth, Gongxi Clan, as one of the four towns in the northwest, will definitely respect Cao Shuai's shogunate military orders in the future, and will never dare to disobey in the slightest!"

He turned around and also saluted the Son of Heaven: "Your Majesty, although Qingyang is the capital of Ganzhou, it is located in Gannan, separated from Ganzhong by a Qingping Mountain, and the exchange of information is inconvenient, even if there is an accident at the northern foot of Qingping Mountain, which is also Qingyang County, Qingyang City may not have Tianshui or even Luoxia County when it gets the news." ”

"The reason why the last general led his troops south was because the son of the county guard of Tianshui County killed his father and rebelled, not only framed and intercepted the last general, but also ordered his bandits to take advantage of the Qingping Mountain deer owner to go out, occupy a large area of mountains and forests, and set up bandit villages and intrude places. After the last general escaped with his life, because the military situation was like fire, he did not have time to report to the state capital, let alone reach the heavens, so he had to go south without edicts, and after several bloody battles, he cut down the rebellious army in Tianshui County. ”

However, after all, there were many fish caught in the net, and in order to prevent these bandits from poisoning Ganzhou, they had to divide troops and garrison the counties near Zuo to assist the local officers and soldiers in suppressing the bandits. As for Qingyang City, it is the state capital, and it has a major stake, and the last general is also on the way to Qingping Mountain to marry the clumsy Jing, I heard that there are chaotic troops who have crossed Qingping Mountain and are going south, intending to sneak attack Qingyang City, I am afraid that Liang General Soldier will not notice the road for a while, so he will not avoid suspicion, and only bring a team of personal guards to help prevent and suppress, I don't want to let Liang Zongbing have a misunderstanding, but this is not the last general!"

Gongxi Xiaobai looked at Cao Xianzhi again: "As for what Cao Shuai said about killing people, setting fires, and robbing property, they were all done by the bandits, and the last general would never dare to admit it. ”

Cao Xianzhi smiled angrily, pointed at Gongxi Xiaobai and said, "What a sharp mouth that reverses black and white!"

He arched his hand towards the Son of Heaven: "That Liang General Soldier is a general personally promoted by the Son of Heaven, where is the need for the protection of your Gongxi clan? Since you call me Cao Shuai, Ben Shuai only asks you, when will your Gongxi clan retire?"

Gongxi Xiaobai smiled slightly, and said unhurriedly: "As long as Cao Shuai gives an order, the Gongxi clan will immediately withdraw its troops! ”

Hearing this, the Son of Heaven, who had not spoken for a long time, asked, "What's the matter?"

"Fang Cai will mention the geography of Qingyang City, it can be seen that although this city has the name of the state capital, but there is no state capital, once there is something, can not control the whole state, put it on weekdays, and now His Majesty is determined to go west, there are many inconveniences, I implore Your Majesty to move the Ganzhou state capital to Tianshui, so that once the state capital has a police, my father-in-law wolf can ride overnight, it is a foolproof strategy. In addition, Tianshui suffered a great turmoil, and the people's hearts were uncertain, and generals such as General Liang were needed to sit in charge to calm the people's hearts. It is the last general who has the courage to ask for the life of Li Shu, the people of Ganzhou, and beg His Majesty for permission!"

"What you say, what Qing said is not unreasonable, the Tianshui County Guard and the County Army were all killed in the chaos, I wonder if Qing has a candidate in his heart who can calm the hearts of the people of Tianshui?"

Gongxi Xiaobai groaned slightly, and replied: "The candidate for the feudal official is the dictatorship of the Son of Heaven, but today he actually asked His Majesty to inquire, if the general does not follow the truth, it will also be a bully, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive the crime of vain words!"

There was a hint of coldness in the solemn expression of the Son of Heaven, and he waved his hand: "It's okay to say it." ”

"Since it is a change of state capital, Yuan Honglie, the original commander of Qingyang County, and Yuan Honglie, the commander of Qingyang County, are the most suitable candidates!"

"Who are the two positions in Qingyang County?"

"The duty of the county guard, the prestige of the deer in the county of Qingping Mountain is not a second person, and it can stabilize the people. As for the capital, the elite of the Qingyang County Army all belong to the Yuan family, and I am afraid that they will have to go to Tianshui with them, and they will have to fill the vacancy in a short time, and the Lu family will have to do it. ”

This is even more explicit, and when the Son of Heaven heard this, he chuckled lightly and was noncommittal.

Cao Xianzhi was furious: "The wolf's ambition is obvious! Who doesn't know that Yuan Honglie fought a big battle with you, and the two families have already had a grudge, and Lu Yuanshen is your father-in-law! Do you really regard the great Ganzhou as a meal on your plate?"

Gongxi Xiaobai was stunned and said: "My Gongxi clan has just dedicated three hundred miles of land to the Son of Heaven, Geng Geng is loyal, but the sun and the moon can be revealed!

He thought for a while, and then said: "The last general has had a conflict with Yuan Dutong, so he doesn't know each other, and knows that Yuan Dutong is a rare fierce general, since Cao Shuai feels that the last general's suggestion is inappropriate, then it is better to ask Yuan Dutong to garrison the Qushui River Valley, then my Gongxi's every move is in the eyes, presumably Cao Shuai can rest assured? As for the owner of the deer village, he is a famous family, and he is famous and famous, and the last will be a talent for the country.

Okay, this young master of Gongxi wants to put Yuan Honglie under his claws to facilitate the venting of his personal anger, and he wants him to go to the north to block the knife of the Gongxi clan, so shameless, but he still speaks so high-sounding and righteous words.

Between a few words of answering, the people in the palace all looked sideways at Gongxi Xiaobai, this young master of the wolf rider who is said to be a killing man, not only is he extremely handsome and weak, but also has such an eloquent talent, and his face is surprisingly thick, which is really an anomaly.

Of course, the reason why Gongxi Xiaobai has no fear, in addition to the amazing combat power of Gongxi Wolf Rider and his wife's grandfather, that is, the powerful Lu Gong who does not know life and death as the confidence, the ruling Ao Mang is his biggest reliance in the court.

Seeing Ao Mang laughing, he went out of the class to play a round and said: "Cao Shuai is angry! Gongxi's rebellion is not a day, just because of its loyalty, the emperor and the present have always shown leniency, although this time it is a little out of line, but the young master of Gongxi personally entered Beijing to ask for the sacrifice of the land, which shows that he is obedient, not to mention that the western expedition is imminent, it is the time to employ people, so that he can wear the crime and make meritorious service." If Cao Shuai is still angry, Ao Mang is here to accompany you for the Gongxi clan!"

As he spoke, he was about to make a gesture to Cao Xianzhi, but Cao Xianzhi hurriedly avoided it, shook his head and said: "That's it, since Ao is in power, Ben Shuai will spare him once! It's just that the eldest princess is there, hey!"

This last sentence, Cao Xianzhi secretly transmitted the voice, but did not announce it.

It is true that the alliance between the Gongxi clan and Ao Mang is true, but Wu Sushen and Yuan Honglie are both the disciples of the eldest princess, and Gongxi Xiaobai is so at the mercy of others, even if it is just talking, His Majesty will never listen, but after all, it is said on such an occasion as the Great Dynasty Meeting, it will definitely evil the eldest princess's big Buddha and cause a lot of trouble to Ao Mang, not to mention His Royal Highness the King of Runan who is standing behind the Tianshui County incident.

But then again, King Runan has suppressed Buddhism in the south, and the relationship between the two sides is by no means harmonious, and now Ao Mang cooperates with the Son of Heaven to support Buddhism, and the three highnesses can't pee in a pot.

Ao Mang heard Cao Xianzhi's transmission, his face was silent, but he sneered in his heart, although Wu Sushen and Yuan Honglie both started by relying on the recommendation of the eldest princess, but Yuan Honglie was born in the local scholar clan of Qingyang, and has always been close to the Lu family. Cao Hutou, who has just taken over the four towns in the northwest, is afraid that these inside facts are still unclear.

He no longer paid attention to Cao Xianzhi, and on the way back to the shift, he glanced at the king of Runan, and saw that this third highness looked like he had nothing to do with himself, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This is the dog that bites people and doesn't bark." ”

The eyes of the Son of Heaven turned around in the hall, and he had already made a decision in his heart about the so-called sacrifice of the land that the Gongxi clan had in front of him.

He said with Tianxian in his mouth, and decided in one word: "The sacrifice of the land of the Gongxi clan is enough to atone for the crime, and the matter of raising troops without edicts has been revealed since then." As for the three hundred miles of grassland, according to what Qing said, he set up a horse breeding ground in the north of Luoxia County, and ordered Yuan Honglie to be the commander of the horse supervisor, garrison the Qushui River Valley, and be controlled by the Ouchi Imperial Horse Supervisor!"

This appointment was really incredible, and the princes and ministers were silent for a while, and even Ao Mang, Cao Hutou, and Gongxi Xiaobai, who made this ridiculous suggestion, were stunned.

After several people were stunned, they quickly reacted, the Son of Heaven would rather regard Yuan Honglie, who was still obedient but not very clear, as an outcast, and would never allow the Gongxi clan to comfortably obtain that horse farm as the foundation of hegemony, and did not hesitate to invest in the power of the royal horse supervisor as a descendant.

I listened to the Son of Heaven continued: "The northern foot of Qingping Mountain was merged into Tianshui County, and Ganzhou Mu Zheng Kui was negligent in governing the government, which caused the rebellious thieves to swarm. At this extraordinary time, extraordinary things must be done, and I specially ordered to promote the Qingping Mountain cloth cloth deer Yuan Shen as the commander of the Tianshui County Army. ”

This appointment was also unexpected, as it was tantamount to acquiescing in the fact that Tianshui County had become the sphere of influence of the Gongxi clan.

However, the Son of Heaven seems to have made up his mind, and his words are not shocking: "Change Qingyang County to a military town, Liang Teng to be the general of Qingyang, and the prime minister of all military and political affairs." The former Qingyang County Shouwu Su Shen was the commander of the Qingyang Water Division, and he prepared the River Water Division east of Erlong Gorge, which was directly controlled by General Qingyang!"

At this point, the Son of Heaven finally tried to see the dagger!

In the hinterland of the Great Zhou, only Dongping, West ~ An, South ~ Ning, and Beiding have forbidden troops stationed, which can be called military towns, and the rest are feudal counties.

Wu and Yuan, one of them is reused, and the other is an abandoned son who has been reused, the eldest princess should be reasonable, even if it is Yuan Honglie, between sitting in Tianshui Chou City and going to Qushui River Valley to block the knife, which is more dangerous It is difficult to say, but the latter undoubtedly has more room for maneuver, not to mention that there is a royal horse supervisor and among them, and the clan is pinched in the hands of Liang Teng, even if Yuan Honglie wants to fall to the Lu clan and the Gongxi clan, I am afraid it will not be easy.

As for Lu Yuanshen, although he has made Tianshui and connected with his son-in-law, the old nest of Qingping Mountain is threatened by Liang Teng from time to time, which is not too comfortable.

Zheng Kui's demotion is undoubtedly a blow to Ao Mang by the Son of Heaven, but the new Tianshui County accounts for almost half of Ganzhou, and it is barely acceptable.

The only thing that suffered heavy losses was the king of Runan, Ji Tian, who stole chickens and raised rice.

The prince, who had barely landed in the northwest, was silent, only sneering in his heart.

Ji Tianxing, who was newly promoted to the position of prince, was wary of the so-called Qingyang Sailor who only had a name at this time, and this sailor controlled Erlong Gorge, which threatened Ganzhou in the north, Hejian and Qinghe in the south, and even Yunzhou in the west.

He muttered to himself: "Wu Su Shen, it seems that when the imperial sister comes back, she will definitely go to visit one or two, and build a good relationship...... Alas, the father's method of quietly turning the clouds and rain is really unpredictable!"

He looked at Gongxi Xiaobai again: "With a corner and the father and emperor who is sitting in the Great Zhou, he can still play with ease, even if he is beaten to lose his temper, it is also a crime of non-war, it is rumored that he has a great friendship with Liu Tugou......?

In any case, as the first daimyo in this dynasty to successfully break through the restrictions of a county, the weight of the Gongxi clan in the eyes of many forces in the court is completely different.

The Son of Heaven smiled gently: "Qing Fang just said that he wanted to ask for his life for Li Shu in Ganzhou, can my arrangement be appropriate?"

"Shengming has no fault with Your Majesty! The last general has the courage to thank His Majesty Longen on behalf of the people of Ganzhou!"

When Gongxi Xiaobai bowed to the Son of Heaven for the third time, there was already a little more real fear and respect in his heart.

At this point, this unexpected strange performance was over, and this time the eunuch did not inquire again, but shouted directly: "Retreat...... Towards !"

Finally, the song ended, and when the Son of Heaven and all the officials left the Taihe Palace, Gongxi Xiaobai slowly got up.

He lowered his head and was silent for a long time, then chuckled softly, then turned around and walked out of the hall.

On this day, in the square outside the Taihe Palace, many people remembered the figure of this young man in a wolf fur and a white robe.

How many young people can do this in front of the Son of Heaven?

Although the figure is a little lonely and embarrassed, it falls in the eyes of everyone, but it is indescribably freehand.
