Chapter 70 The Palace of Wei, the Eastern Capital of Wei
In the early days of Xiao Jin, the king of Wei, he seemed to have done many things, but he was actually doing one thing. First of all, the Zhang clan and the Gongsun clan were exterminated, which was not only to establish power, but also to kill chickens and monkeys, so as to suppress the power of the major clans, and then issued an order to abolish the sword, to restrain the monks in the territory by decree, and to eradicate many "thorns", after removing these two major problems, the Wei State was able to smooth the government order.
Since the Taiping ten years, he took the Wei State as the foundation, vigorously developed the sea trade, so that the financial income of the Wei State but the four states can be compared with more than half of the Jiangnan, after the first year of Chengping, Xiao Jin based on the water army left by Yang Bofu that year, with the countless silver money accumulated in the ten years of sea trade as the capital, wantonly cast firearms and warships, and reorganize the naval army.
Now it can be seen that Xiao Jin's plan is roughly divided into three steps, and now he has completed two steps, leaving only the last step.
The development of sea trade is a part of the second step, and the accumulation of sea pirates is a part of the development of sea trade.
Seeing the big from the small, Xiao Jin dared to peek into the Central Plains, not just a fool's dream.
Now that Xu Beiyou has killed Zheng Kuiqi, it will definitely have an impact on Xiao Jin's overall layout, but it will never be too big.
In the blink of an eye, it was already the twilight of spring, the drizzle was fluttering, sprinkled on the "Eastern Capital" of the Wei State, since Xiao Yu renamed the Eastern Capital of Dazheng to the Imperial Capital of Daqi, Xiao Jin took the name "Eastern Capital" for his own use, and called the capital of his Wei State "Eastern Capital" , and looking at the many vassal kings of Daqi, the mansions are all palaces, even if it is the former King Xiao Bai of Qi, and the only one with a different surname Wang Mutangzhi, without exception, only His Royal Highness the Prince can be called the East Palace, and Xiao Jin, the King of Wei, broke this convention at the beginning of this year, and renamed his Wei Wangfu as the Wei Palace, in which the eunuchs and palace maids are all available, only the princess is renamed the queen, and the prince is renamed the crown prince, as if it is to compete with the orthodox Daqi court.
Just after the third watch, the palace has been in charge of the lamp, a white-faced bearded eunuch walked lightly on the corridor, outside the corridor in the dark night is a heavy rain curtain, there is some stagnant water in the corridor, stepping on it, making a crisp sound of crackling.
Slowly through the corridor, towards the main hall of the palace, the man is dressed in a black python robe, among the eunuchs in the world, only the eunuch who holds the seal of the master of ceremonies can wear a black python robe, in fact, his status in Wei is roughly equivalent to Zhang Baisui, and he is the henchman of the emperor's side.
Coming to the door of the dormitory, the eunuch knocked on the door lightly, and after hearing a sound of "come in" from inside the door, he lowered his head and pushed the door in, all the way forward, and finally came to the depths of the palace, only to see a pair of black cloud shoes, except for a slight difference in color, the style is the same as the Daomen Dazhen.
Xiao Jin, who hadn't slept for many days, asked, "What's the matter?"
; The most new* @η« θ1δΈwT
This great eunuch, who can be said to be above 10,000 people under one person in the Wei Palace, bent down and bowed his head, like a bowed shrimp, and said softly: "Your Majesty, Zheng Kuiqi is dead." β
Xiao Jin didn't make a sound, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became solemn, and the eunuch held his breath and stared, not daring to make a sound, he could only hear the rustling rain outside the window.
After a while, Xiao Jin's voice came again, and he said lightly: "Got it." β
The eunuch bent down and whispered, "Shangguan Chao is also dead." β
Xiao Jin didn't continue to be silent this time, he took a few steps forward and walked down the steps, and in the sight of the eunuch, he could already see the corners of the robe embroidered with python patterns, and the voice sounded above his head again, "Arrange the aftermath, especially on the side of Shangguan's family, there is no Shangguan Feng and Shangguan Chaoan one after another, you must appease it well." β
The eunuch replied respectfully: "Someone has been sent to arrange it." β
Xiao Jin snorted.
The eunuch still maintained a posture of bending over and hanging his hands, and slowly retreated backwards.
Midnight...... Fourth...... Five more.
The drums of the fifth watch sounded, and it was dawn.
The rain gradually stopped, and a deep blue color appeared on the sky.
The palace of the king of Wei, which had been silent all night, suddenly became noisy, the palace maids and eunuchs went back and forth, and after a while, there began to be officials and generals entering the palace to meet the king of Wei, and there was also no shortage of female relatives to meet the princess of Wei.
Princess Wei has the surname Wanyan, and her double name is Yingzhu, and she is the sister of Wanyan Beiyue. The reason why she married Xiao Jin was because of the original Liang Alliance.
In the third year of Da Zheng Jianwen, Xiao Yu sent troops to help Wanyan Beiyue and his son quell the rebellion of the Five Kings, Xiao Yu, Wanyan Beiyue, Lan Yu, Murong Yan, and Wanyan De and other Houjian Five Kings officially made a covenant in the Houjian Palace.
After the succession of Wanyan Beiyue, the throne was established, and the two sides formed a brotherly alliance.
With Julu City as the boundary, the five kings of Houjian withdrew their troops, and Xiao Yu also withdrew his troops from Chaozhou and Gaozhou. Thereafter, no one shall hide from one another if there are fugitives from thieves who have crossed the border. The two sides are along the border cities, everything is as usual, no city gods are allowed to be built, and no more encroachments are allowed.
Hou Jian had to provide Xiao Yu with military expenses for pacification and mediation, 100,000 taels of gold, 11.2 million taels of silver, 500,000 stones of grain, and 200,000 horses of silk, which were delivered to Julu City.
Hou Jian was not allowed to enter the customs and go south, but he could send troops at Xiao Yuzhi's request if necessary.
The two sides trade with each other at the border.
The five kings of Houjian had to pay tribute to the emperor Wanyan Beiyue every year with 10,000 taels of silver and 10,000 horses of silk to show their submission.
After the conclusion of the covenant, there shall be no further fighting, and if there is any violation, they will be revenated.
Diao Yin, Li Xu, Sun Ping, Xie Xian, Feng Yi and other five elders of the Later Jianxuan Sect as witnesses.
This treaty was signed in Daliang City, also known as the "Alliance of Daliang".
After the alliance of the Great Liang, Xiao Yu married his sister Xiao Yue to Wanyan Beiyue, and Wanyan Beiyue married his sister Wanyan Yingzhu to Xiao Jin, the two families are not only brothers, but also Qin and Jin.
The two were married in the third year of Jianwen, and Jianwen was married in four years, and after Xiao Jin was crowned King of Wei, Wanyan Yingzhu followed him to the Wei State.
Today, Wanyan Yingzhu is already in her prime, but she still looks like a woman in her forties, radiant.
At this time, Wanyan Yingzhu was meeting a junior from Houjian, who was also surnamed Wanyan and had two names as Concubine Yu.
Maybe it's because of her age, every time she sees a young girl, she can't help but feel close to her new life, and she is willing to help with a little favor, just take some time ago, this girl opened her mouth to ask for 10,000 birds, although she refused, but in the end she still gave 5,000.
This has to mention her husband Xiao Jin, although his temperament is not like his half-brother, but he is very similar, he is a person who respects his wife, Xiao Yu dares to give power to Lin Yinping, so Xiao Jin will not care about this little thing, even if he knows that these five thousand bird guns finally arrived in Xu Beiyou's hands, he still laughs at it.
However, Xiao Jin can not care, but Wanyan Yingzhu can't not care, after all, marrying and following her husband has no reason to help her mother's family calculate her husband. So when we met today, she nodded a few words to this junior in her words, and Concubine Wanyan naturally responded.
Of course, Wanyan Yingzhu looked at Wanyan Beiyue and Murong Xuanyin's face, and it was only to the point.
Then, Concubine Wanyan Yu told her a piece of news, which surprised the princess of Wei that Xu Beiyou, the young master of the Sword Sect, had left Jiangdu and his whereabouts were unknown.
At this time, Xu Beiyou arrived by boat at the largest port in Wei State, Chunshan Port.
