Chapter 211: The Gate of Desire—The Gate of Sound
No matter how fierce the battle between Da Ming, Da Yan and Da Jin is, Chu Yun in Chang'an Daming Palace has no influence at all, Wang Jie, Xie Ai, Ran Min, Lu Zhong, Ran Liang, these generals who specialize in leading troops have all been sent out, Chu Yun believes that when it comes to leading troops to fight, this group of people is much more powerful than themselves, they can't win, even if they lead the troops in person, it is useless, it is better to do what they should do.
Chu Yun spent two months consolidating the use of the first layer of the Gate of Desire, during these days, the group of concubines in the harem was simply more lively than the New Year, it was really physically and mentally comfortable, Chu Yun's technique of playing with women was estimated to be that those flower thieves could not compare. But soon Chu Yun changed his interests and hobbies, and Chu Yun seemed to have lost interest in women all of a sudden, and his hobbies became vocal music.
No matter what kind of music master he was, Chu Yun summoned a large number of them, and even some famous prostitutes who were famous for their music were also recruited by Chu Yun to the harem, which scared Cui Cheng and the others to think that Chu Yun didn't like women from good families and was ready to harm the women of the Qinglou. However, Chu Yun brought them here to really study music, song and dance, and did not do anything that insulted the royal prestige, so no one said anything, after all, Chu Yun is the emperor, and he has a little hobby and others can't care about it, of course, those famous prostitutes in Qinglou who flew up the branches and turned into phoenixes were very disappointed.
Chu Yun's learning ability is very fast, whether it is the qin, se, sheng, zhu, or flute, flute, pipe, chi, Chu Yun has mastered it quickly, and he is more proficient than his teacher in a few days, Chu Yun is honestly not a person who likes music very much, and he only occasionally listened to those divine comedies on the earth before, and he was not interested in ancient musical instruments. But if you really get in touch with it, you will find that it is not for nothing that these instruments can be passed down for thousands of years, and many times, music can give Chu Yun a better state of mind. Even some famous songs can also arouse Chu Yun's mental power cultivation, and the melody of some music can actually make his mental power fluctuate, and even Chu Yun can feel that his mental power is cultivated according to this rhythm or against the enemy, which can produce miraculous effects.
Chu Yun fell into the embrace of music even more and couldn't extricate himself, Chu Yun searched for famous musicians and some lost famous songs, and even wrote a letter to the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, asking him to send some of the famous musicians he had been famous for a long time. Liu Kun was a world-famous musician back then, but unfortunately he died early, but there are still many people at the same level as Liu Kun in Dajin.
Knowing that the Ming Emperor went to study the music again, the Great Jin did not dare to slack off, although the two countries were at war, but they did not dare to offend the Ming Emperor, after all, although this time the Ming and the Great Jin actually had a war, but the two sides did not declare war on each other, and Chu Yun has always considered himself to be the elder of the Jin Mu Emperor Sima Dan, and he has given him a lot of things every year, just like the Great Jin is the younger brother of the Ming Dynasty, but even if it is so insulting, the Great Jin has not resisted, of course, they are also used to it. They endured it when the Xiongnu and Han were strong, they endured it when the former Zhao and later Zhao were strong, and now the Ming Dynasty is stronger than the previous ones, so there is no other way but to endure it.
Therefore, after the Great Jin Dynasty gave Chu Yun a beauty pageant, he continued to mobilize the power of the whole country to find music for Chu Yun, and I have to say that the emperor should be like this, it is better to die. Huan Wen and Daming fought in the front, and you collaborated with the enemy in the back, is this really good?
The war is still in full swing, although there are four fronts in the east, west, north and south, but everyone knows that as long as Xie Ai on the eastern front completely captures Qingzhou, the war will end, although the Ming Dynasty occupies a large piece of territory in Jingzhou under the command of Ran Liang, but both the Ming and the Jin Dynasty know that the other party does not have the idea of a thorough decisive battle, and the Ming Dynasty is to contain the Great Jin, and the Great Jin is only a passive defense.
Huan Wen showed combat effectiveness that was completely inconsistent with his reputation, and under Lu Zhong's defense, Huan Wen's army of more than 100,000 did not take a step forward in Xuzhou. Huan Wen in history is also so disappointing, in addition to the battle that destroyed Cheng Han, he failed in the three Northern Expeditions in his life, whether it was facing Hou Zhao or Qianyan, he was the kind of representative whose heart was higher than the sky and whose fate was thinner than paper.
On the northern front, Murong Ke and Wang Jie had their own victories and defeats, although both sides fought real fire, with more than 50,000 casualties, they still couldn't break through Wang Jie's defense. Murong Ke even sent his only naval army to bypass Wang Jie's direction, attack from the back of the Ming army, and annihilate hundreds of thousands of Ming troops. But the idea is good, Murong Ke's military talent is really extraordinary, but not to mention whether Dayan's few broken ships can complete the task of bypassing the direction of Da Ming for the time being, even if you ask for Da Yan, you have already lost. With the help of Murong Yun, Dayan's number one "Xianbei traitor", Dayan has been infiltrated by the Supervision Department as if it were his own backyard, so Murong Ke's counterattack plan failed without the slightest surprise.
Wang Jie had already gotten the news and arranged a defense along the coast, but without Da Ming's strength, the sea had already been hit the heaviest blow by Dayan. The 40,000 troops of Dayan had just walked more than 100 miles on the sea in a boat when they encountered a storm, and half of the hundreds of ships sank, and when the remaining ships finally came ashore, what was waiting for them was the tens of thousands of troops who had already been ambushed. The 40,000 troops of the Great Yan Kingdom were basically wiped out, except for the extremely lucky, more than 2,000 people who saw that the situation was not right and fled on the boat. But only about 2,000 of the 40,000 people remained, which was almost like the total annihilation of the army.
Because of the failure of this plan, the position of Xianbei Coach Murong Ke was almost lost, but Murong Jun finally withstood the pressure and did not change the general, otherwise with Wang Jie's ability, if someone else commanded for Murong Ke, the army of more than 300,000 people in the Great Yan Kingdom would be really dangerous. The Dayan army is in the hands of Murong Ke, Wang Jie really didn't take much advantage, Murong Ke's military talent is except for Murong Chui, who was killed by his own people, the world is that Wang Jie and Xie Ai can compete with it.
After Wang Jie withstood Murong Ke's pressure, Xie Ai did not disappoint. Xie Ai learned the same, after receiving the intelligence of the Supervision Department, he praised Murong Ke's genius, he directly copied Murong Ke's tactics, he mobilized all the naval troops of the Ming Dynasty from the Yangtze River to Xuzhou, directly from Xuzhou to the ship, around the back of the Jiaozhou Peninsula, the Ming army came to a two-way pincer, in one fell swoop broke through the strong defense line built by the Great Yan Army and the Qingzhou family.
When the Ming army surrounded Yangqi and the only remaining 100,000 legions of the Qingzhou family in Donglai City, it meant that the battle of Qingzhou was about to end.
However, Yang Qi is Yang Qi, he led 100,000 lonely troops to resist for more than three months, and after Daming paid more than 40,000 losses, Donglai City finally fell, which was not directly captured by Xie Ai, but because of civil strife in Donglai City. Yang Qi saw that the situation was not good, so he wanted to send some people on the boat to let them leave by boat, but the result was publicized by the supervision department and Jinyi Wei in the city, in order to compete for the quota on the ship, the army of the Great Yan Kingdom of Donglai City and the army of Qingzhou Haoqiang clashed, and the last few Haoqiang who saw that there was no hope of victory opened the city gate, and the Ming army swarmed in. Yang Qi finally resisted to the end, he took his own soldiers to kill hundreds of Ming soldiers and then committed suicide, Murong Ba took the direct children of several big families in Qingzhou and 5,000 remnants of soldiers, and left Qingzhou by boat. However, they deviated from the course, and by the time they reappeared in the eyes of the world, it was already a few years later, and they went to Dongying in a leisurely manner.
With the end of the Battle of Qingzhou, Dayan and Dajin each slowly withdrew their troops, and Da Ming achieved great results after more than half a year's efforts. Half of the territory of Qingzhou and Yanzhou was taken, not only did they get the territory of one and a half states, but the Ming Dynasty also completely annihilated the 200,000 Qingzhou troops of the Great Yan Kingdom. In addition, at least 100,000 troops of the Great Yan Kingdom were consumed in Yanzhou. In addition, it also annihilated tens of thousands of Jin troops, and turned Nanjingzhou into ruins.
Of course, the Ming Dynasty was not without losses, not to mention that more than 150,000 people were killed and wounded in the war, that is, Xuzhou was all lost, and the Great Jin Dynasty occupied the entire Xuzhou, that is, the Soviet Province in later generations. Of course, this is not because of the sudden outbreak of Huan Wen, but the strategic retreat of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty is ready to let the Jin army go north in order to defend the newly acquired Xuzhou, so that the Ming army does not need to cross the Yangtze River, and the Ming army can have a decisive battle with the Jin army north of the Yangtze River, so that the Ming cavalry advantage can be maximized.
In any case, the Ming Dynasty did lose the entire Xuzhou, and this war almost wiped out the treasury of the Ming Dynasty, the three countries were desperate, the army mobilized by the Ming Dynasty exceeded one million people, and the grain and grass consumed were gone, and the Ming Dynasty could not launch such a big campaign for at least two years. But overall, Daming still made a lot of money.
In addition, Daming's good friend Murong Yun lost the news, Daming's Supervision Department contacted Murong Yun in a single line, and Murong Yun had to contact the Supervision Department every once in a while, and this time he didn't contact Murong Yun for two months. When the news reached Chu Yun's ears, Chu Yun immediately ordered the Supervision Department to immediately cut off the contact point on the surface, turning from light to dark, although Cheng Yang thought that Murong Yun might be in retreat, or something was delayed, so as not to give up the contact point that Yan Jing had built with great difficulty, but in the end, he couldn't twist his arm and thigh, so he still obeyed Chu Yun's order. But it was too late, and the Great Yan Emperor Murong Jun's personal troops made a big move and destroyed most of the contact points of the Supervision Department in Yanjing in one fell swoop, and the entire Yanjing Supervision Department was almost paralyzed. Only then did Cheng Yang know that His Majesty was unfathomable, and he asked to make meritorious service and personally go to Yanjing to rebuild the contact point, but Chu Yun was noncommittal.
After Chu Yun saw the problem, he had already sent Jin Yiwei to take over the work of the Supervision Department in Dayan, and Zhou Yan acted more at ease than Cheng Yang to make Chu Yun feel more at ease. Chu Yun felt that Murong Yun had planted nine times out of ten, and the person behind the scenes must be Su Jin. Chu Yun didn't have any mood swings because of Murong Yun's disappearance, this old guy was too arrogant, especially after killing Murong Chui, he thought that he was the emperor of Yan Kingdom, and Chu Yun had long been mentally prepared for his accident. It was originally an old dog who was used by himself, and it was nothing if he died. However, when Chu Yun thought of Su Jin, he unconsciously became angry in his heart.
"Xianbei, you dare to hit my attention and take away what belongs to me, I will repay you well. If you suffer in the world, let me send you to heaven to enjoy yourself. Now the bald Xianbei and the begging Xianbei have been wiped out by Liu Dongyong, and the Duan Xianbei has been killed by you to kill each other. There are still Murong Xianbei, Tuoba Xianbei and Yuwen Xianbei left, if Yuwen Xianbei is obedient, I will raise you as a dog, as for the other two, enjoy your last time, everyone will die. Su Jin, haven't you become the protector of the Xianbei people? I want to destroy them all, and I'll see who you can protect. Hahaha. Chu Yun laughed wildly in a cold tone.
Two years have passed in a flash, and nothing major has happened in the whole world, if it has to be said to be a major event, then it is the Ming Dynasty that finally established the crown prince, not the Murong family or the Chen family, it turned out to be the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, Cui Cheng, which made everyone's jaws drop. However, no one dared to object, not to mention Chu Yun's prestige, Cui Cheng had been the first assistant for several years, and he had also formed an extremely large force, and his hair was both in the army and in politics, and they all grew into a force that could not be ignored in the Ming Dynasty. Chu Yun's explicit or covert instigation is also the reason for their growth, and everyone knows why Chu Yun treats Cui Cheng like a son, and he became a big man in his forties, so he is really a son. No one doubted that Chu Cheng was not Chu Yun's own son, but the two of them originally looked alike, and their temperament became more and more like Chu Yun, so there were many people who doubted it.
Chu Cheng's titular mother, Cui Jian of the Cui family of Qinghe, was posthumously named Empress Xiaojing, as for Cui Ning died a few months ago, more than half of the officials in the entire Ming Dynasty attended Cui Ning's funeral, after all, Cui Ning is nominally Cui Cheng's adoptive mother, and the future emperor's adoptive mother died, no matter what you think, there is no need to offend Cui Cheng.
Chu Yun did not attend Cui Ning's funeral, even if Chu Cheng, who had restored his original name, knelt in front of Chu Yun and begged, Chu Yun did not go. Cui Ning fell into a coma before he died, and the name Cui Ning called the most during the coma was not his son Chu Cheng and several little grandsons, but Chu Yun's name. When Chu Yun heard Cui Cheng's words, he still didn't agree, but just ordered to posthumously crown Cui Ning as Mrs. Yipin, not to mention that the names of the queen's two concubines were not mixed, and Chu Yun did not forgive her until Cui Ning died.
"It's all in the past. Chu Yun muttered to himself, Cui Ning's death was caused by Chu Yun, and in the face of this woman's death, Chu Yun felt a big burden in his heart and a little heartache at the same time.
In the first month of the twenty-seventh year of Shengwu, Chu Yun ordered the capital to be moved, Chang'an was remote and could not take care of the whole world at the same time, so he ordered the capital to be moved to Luoyang, and Chang'an was still the western capital of the Ming Dynasty. Chu Yun's relocation was prepared to deal with the Ming Dynasty nearly 30 years after the founding of the country, and the remnants of the wealthy families in Chang'an, they were either suspicious or ambitious, hidden in the prosperous Chang'an City, connected with each other, and became a great tumor. Chu Yun eradicated this internal trouble for his son before completely relinquishing his power.
The Ming Dynasty opened the school and implemented the imperial examination system, which caused the impact of the Wei and Jin Dynasty's nine products in the positive system, and the territory occupied by the Ming Dynasty severely cracked down on this big family, but only Chang'an still has a lot of remnants. They were hostile to the Ming system, lying on the Ming Dynasty to suck blood, relying on the fact that their family had many scholars, and blended into the Ming system. Chu Yun had already asked the Supervision Department and Jinyiwei to find out, and he just took this opportunity to eradicate it in one fell swoop. That is to say, as the founding emperor, he has great prestige and can subdue the ministers, and it is not necessary to replace Chu Cheng on the throne. In history, Tang Taizong was so eloquent and strategic, didn't he have to compromise with the family? It wasn't until Wu Zetian ascended the throne that he raised the butcher's knife and killed these families?
In the twenty-seventh year of Shengwu, Chu Yun officially moved the capital, and with the departure of the first batch of lords who shared the honor and disgrace with the Ming Dynasty, Chu Yun finally showed his fangs. More than 70 large and small families were raided, hundreds of heads fell to the ground, as many as tens of thousands of people were exiled, and one-third of the officials in the entire Ming officialdom disappeared. But such a huge change, did not cause any fluctuations in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has been established for more than 20 years, the imperial examination has been held for nearly 20 years, there is no shortage of officials, the cold scholars of Daliang entered the imperial court, with the entry of this batch of fresh blood, the entire Ming officialdom on one side, more clear and fast than before.
Anyway, there are many officials who are sincere in serving the people, Daming has a high salary and is honest, and the money is enough for the family, and corruption is a serious crime, on the one hand, you can support yourself without corruption, and on the other hand, you can rob your family and exterminate the clan, Chu Yun believes that there are only a few people who dare to die for money.
After the Ming Dynasty moved the capital to Luoyang, Chu Yun ordered Chu Cheng to officially serve as the prince of the prison state, and Chu Yun retreated into the background, but the princelings could not monopolize power, not to mention the royalists all over the army, even among the civil ministers, there were also several parties to fight against the princelings, so Chu Yun wanted to take back power, and it was just a matter of one sentence. If Chu Cheng wants to take over, he needs to continue to work hard.
