Although the Izumo Kingdom is the supremacy of imperial power, in fact, the lords of each castle are hereditary, and their descendants take over, consolidating the strength of the family in a region from generation to generation.

In this way, for hundreds of years, those city lords are similar to the earth emperors.

The so-called imperial power is only a nominal title.

If you look at it according to the history of China, it is almost a copy of Zhou Tianzi and the princes.

It's just that here the princes have been replaced by the lords of the cities.

Among them, the city lords are divided into factions, and the relationship between them is extremely complicated, even if the emperor of Izumo Kingdom has the intention to change, it is difficult to start.

But now, the life of the castle lords of Izumo Province who were originally powerful and blessed is extremely difficult.

Especially in the cities on the front line of the Great Yao Army, most of the original owners in the cities now don't know where the bones are thrown in.

There are also a very small number of people who throw everything away and run away in time when the situation is not good, and only then escaped with their lives.

Now the erosion of the war situation has made everyone frightened.

The officials of the rest of the cities were also terrified.

Especially the city lords who almost faced the Dayao soldiers, two of them ran away when they saw that the situation was not good, and the rest also sent their family heirs away.

However, the city lord who lost the city can be said to be no different from the water dog, who just ran back to Wangjing with a glimmer of hope, and was beheaded by Prime Minister Zheng Chengmian for a reason.

There is a strong army outside, but there is such a prime minister who is eyeing many city lords inside.

Even if Zheng Chengmian finally believed that Dayao was preparing to destroy Izumo recently, and was ready to fight to the death with the last of his troops, he still had no mercy on the city lord who abandoned the city and fled.

Running back is death.

If you don't run, you will also die.

Of the two hundred cities, nearly half of them are now in the hands of Da Yao.

Even the most optimistic people have an extremely sad attitude towards this war.

Not to mention these city lords who know the military strength of both sides.

Now that some of the city lords had begun to drink and drink every day, unscrupulously preparing to enjoy their last days, the cities were covered with dark clouds, and an atmosphere of despair was pervading at will.

It was at this time that a man appeared.

Lin Mengsheng, a young scribe in his thirties.

Skillfully persuaded many city lords to surrender to Da Yao.

There are forty-seven cities in total, all of which are in the middle of Dayao Bingfeng and Wangjing.

It can be said that as soon as these forty-seven cities are opened, Wangjing will have no barriers except for the three acropolis.

With the comparison of Daiyao and Izumo's forces and the current situation, surrender seems like a wise choice, but in reality it is not.

I don't know how many people have had such an idea, but in the end they didn't implement it.

For one thing, the reputation of the ancient clan is really not good in Izumo Province.

Second, surrendering to a foreign race is a thing that has been stinking for thousands of years, and children and grandchildren will not be able to raise their heads in the future.

Second, someone wanted to surrender before the battle, but at that time, the soldiers were in the city, how could Zi Donglai accept it, and he was directly beheaded.

Fourth, even if they can really surrender, they still have to consider those domestic masters.

Now that there is a war, those people don't know where to hide.

But if you surrender and carry a body of infamy, those masters may come out of nowhere to kill the city lord's mansion, and they can also spread the chivalrous name among the people.

In this way, the idea of surrender can only be thought of in the minds of some people.

However, this Lin Mengsheng didn't know where to get some information about Da Yao's current prisoner of war camp, so he deduced the changes in the ancient clan and persuaded dozens of city lords to go to the front of the battle in person to ask to see Zidong.

After listening to what the empress said, Ren Baqian asked, "What is his purpose?"

Hearing Ren Baqian's inquiry, the empress's expression immediately became strange: "It is said that his teacher and several classmates were assassinated by Zheng Chengmian on the way to Beijing......"

Ren 8000: ......

If I'm not mistaken, that thing was done by someone from the Governor's Mansion, right?

If that's the case, then the people of the Governor's Mansion have really done a great job.

It doesn't matter if this person's words are true or not, as long as these people's surrender is true.

Even if this person wants to use this credit as a way to make progress, so what? Dayao really lacks such talents.

The empress had similar thoughts about this: "I'm afraid this person has other plans, but I don't like such a person." ”

Regarding the empress's preferences, Ren Baqian thinks it's normal.

No one likes traitors.

"An official who is loyal but can't bring benefits to the people, and an official who has his own careful thoughts but can do things, which one does Your Majesty want to use?" Ren Baqian asked this question.

In fact, this is a problem that the empress will have to face sooner or later.

In the past, there were only Gu people in the court, and there was no one else to use, but the empress didn't think about this problem.

said that the ancient people were simple, on the one hand, because the ancient people were straight, and on the other hand, Dayao was really poor, and there were not too many colorful things for them to be baptized.

But people always change.

The same is true of the ancient people.

With Da Yao's little bit of transformation, every Gu clan official will also have to accept the test of this baptism.

Not to mention the Izumo and Jing people, the empress will use it sooner or later.

It is not a good thing for one ancient race to stand above the others.

Ren Baqian simply took this opportunity to raise this issue.

The empress was thoughtful when she heard Ren Baqian's question.

"Naturally, I like to be faithful. But if I can't do both, I'll have to use the second one. You mean that, don't you?" said the empress after thinking about it.

Ren Baqian applauded: "It is worthy of Your Majesty, you can understand it at one point." ”

"You seem to like using these people very much, and that's been the case since the Jing Clan!" the Empress looked at him.

"Your Majesty, although the Gu clan is loyal, it is indeed powerless in many things. Moreover, we don't have any superfluous officials who are powerless! We can't send ordinary people over to become officials, right? That would have to make a mess. Your Majesty must use these people, whether it's for Da Yao or for the people!" Ren Baqian said immediately.

In all fairness, he does like to use people outside of the ancient clan.

Although the ancient people are indeed very powerful.

But this kind of power has nothing to do with construction!

What he wants to do is build. Those who are not strong, but have good brains, make many people of the Jing clan and Izumo country more useful.

But in this way, there will inevitably be non-ancient people gradually entering the court, and they will definitely form a group when facing the powerful ancient tribe.

Such a result makes him easy to be suspicious, because he is not from the ancient tribe, and that situation is caused by him.

This is something he has long figured out.

"I understand that I will not doubt you. The Empress sighed.

She didn't understand.

It's just that Da Yao has always been the Da Yao of the ancient people.

Days like these seem to be about to change.

Ren Baqian held the empress's palm and passed his temperature over.

The empress's palm is not large, and it is very soft, which makes him feel comfortable every time he holds it.
