Chapter 146 Northwest
Chapter 146 Northwest
In the second year of Yuanhe, on Wushen Day in the month of Guihai, Empress Dayan was buried in heaven, and the emperor pursued her posthumous posthumous title of "virtue" for her loyalty and purity.
Di Nian and Empress Daxing got married as teenagers, and there is no doubt that they are in love. At the empress's funeral, they wept bitterly and mourned.
Li Tao, Li Zhongtao, the concubine of Empress Daxingde, lost his manners after drinking at the funeral, and was joined by the censor. They were outraged at the moment, and they all participated in the performance of Li Zhongtao.Li Zhongtao, the censor, and a certain clan under the deposed prince Zhou Jing were plotting against each other. They also took advantage of his father's power to sell officials and nobles, and regarded the court's famous nobles as their own private possessions. What's more, the bitter master complained that the son of the Li family threatened to persecute the prince in order to seize the merchant's Jingzhong Zhengdian. As a result, the shopkeeper committed suicide.
Taixue Siye Chen Erkun wrote thousands of words during the great dynasty, weeping blood and berating Li's son for disregarding the law and discipline, doing whatever he wanted, for protecting and conniving, the crime is unforgivable.
Li Xiang took off his crown and fell to the ground, weeping and knocking on the front of the hall, regretting that his adopted son had not been taught, wishing to kill relatives with righteousness, rectify the legal code, and beg for bones.
Because of his hard work and meritorious service, the emperor did not give him heavy responsibility, so he allowed him to play, gave him a car, four horses, a hundred catties of gold, and returned to his hometown.
Li Tao's crime is unavoidable, and after the joint trial of the author, he was assigned to the frontier fortress in the north, and he was not pardoned.
In the past, under the power of the emperor, Li Xiang's subordinates were like the first snow meeting the scorching sun, but within a few days they all switched to his family, and those who were stubborn were relegated, relegated, towering trees fell, and Kazuki fell. The hozen wailed ho ho, but they just jumped away without any regrets.
Mr. Li Xiang was the captain of Xiwu School at that time. He went back to Beijing to take the exam that day and lived in Nanyuanzhuang. He was suddenly attacked by bandits at night.The emperor sighed and regretted, and insisted on Jinwu to investigate strictly, vowing to avenge the younger brother of Empress De.In the capital city, Jinwu searched inside and outside for a month, but after all, there was no clue. The captain reprimanded the emperor and replaced him with Liu Qingrong.
The faction of Li Xiang, who had power over the ruling and opposition parties, was overthrown by the emperor's backhand, and his arrogance disappeared instantly.
The whole country has been living for only two months, and the New Year has come.
Relatives or Yu Bei, others have also sang.
After the peaceful and peaceful New Year, the spring is peaceful and the scenery is bright, the flowers are red and the willows are green. Chen Guo is begging for peace, and is willing to make Qin and Jin friendship with Dayan.As soon as this discussion came out, the whole country was in an uproar, but everyone was secretly happy. One must know that Chen Guo and Dayan have been fighting each other for more than a hundred years, and it is difficult to achieve the unification of China and annex Chen Guo with this method without using swords. Everyone is happy.
The two countries negotiated the terms in March, and finally reached a peace agreement.
Xiao's Lizhu married Dayan and became Queen Dayan.In the future, his son will inherit the great rule of the country.The latter one, although not announced to the world, is an iron law tacitly shared by the two countries.
In the golden autumn season, Xiao Lizhu remarried Dayan Yuanhe Emperor with ten miles of red makeup. The Emperor amnesty the world and changed the Yuan to promote peace.
China was unified, and there was no more Chen State. Although there was a lot of fighting in the court to grab the fat and poor land, although the former Chen State was said to be a country, it was beaten to pieces by the Turkic barbarians. After the annexation, the original courtiers naturally put their tails in panic and let the emperor rub them.
The emperor was delighted by such an obedient courtier, and after a dazzling round of adjustments, the key points in the court and the vacancies of Li Xiang's party members were all replaced by people in his pocket, with more power. For a while, it seemed that Han Wu was reborn prestige.
Xiao Lizhu has married the emperor twice, so she naturally knows that words cannot be trusted, only the strength in hands can be trusted.Chen Guo's elite army is in the hands of Zhuge Cheng, who is stationed in Chen Guo's old place. She holds the order of the tiger talisman in her hand, and the original Chen Guo's forbidden army is stationed in the north of the capital, and only obeys the orders of Empress Xiao.
So far, in the hands of Emperor Dayan, during the Shengping period, there was a rare scene of singing and dancing, celebrating with each other in Chinese and Chinese martial arts. Could it be the "Rule of Shengping"?
This prosperous and peaceful year did not make Dayan people rejoice for a long time. In the second year of Shengping, the East and West Turks fought for more than a year, and finally unified. God Khan.
In the spring of that year, [-] Turkic cavalry rushed down from the northern border of the former Chen Kingdom like a mudslide. The defenders stationed by the emperor in the northern border were defeated before being touched. Ask for reinforcements.Zhuge Cheng also guarded the city to the death, not daring to leave the city for half a step.
Dayan had just swallowed the territory of Chen State for a few days, before he had a taste of it, most of it was handed over to Manhu in an instant.
The 30 Great Yan frontier army huddled in the front line of the original Chen State Jintang Pass and the Dayan Frontier Fortress. Relying on the natural dangers of the mountains and mountains, they allowed the Turkic cavalry to ravage the hinterland of the original Chen State, hoping to guard the dangerous pass outside the Great Yanjing City.
Wars and natural disasters continued, spring famines spread, and the peaceful years were just a bubble in the water. The barbarians took a breath, and the "rule of peace" was shattered into powder.
Hundreds of thousands of ants-like victims were suffering in dire straits, and the common people had no way to survive. At some point, a word was quietly spread among the victims: "If you want to survive, go to the northwest."
Emperor Dayan was in a state of desperation, wishing to use these ants to drag Manhu to death, how could he have the energy and thought to save his people?
Fleeing in all directions, seeing the victims of the frontier fortress who were about to sweep across the Central Plains like locusts, they gradually gathered together, were guided by people, and flowed northwestward, like a bowl of muddy water poured into the cracked dry soil. During the month, it infiltrated into the northwest land silently, and there were no more refugees.
"Where did the people go? With these 10 people, you wouldn't say that they were flying to the sky, would you?!" Zhou Dun asked with a gloomy expression, staring at Liu Qingrong, the captain of Jinwu.
Liu Qingrong buried his head almost into his chest, and said in a low voice, "Northwest."
A green look appeared on Zhou Dun's face, and he sneered, "Northwest... king?!"
Liu Qingrong knelt down on the ground, not daring to raise his head, only to hear the crackling sound of broken porcelain, a few pieces splashed, drawing a long bloodstain on his face, but he didn't even dare to hum speak out.

"My lord, this northwest border seems to be more peaceful than the land of Gyeonggi?" The young servant Chunqiu opened the curtain of the carriage curiously, and whispered to his lord.
"Hmm." Zhang Bing narrowed his eyes, letting his body sway with the carriages and horses, his gray hair was a little messy, and only an old wooden hairpin was stuck on it.
"My lord, my lord! Look there!" Chunqiu's eyes widened suddenly, and he pointed at the cavalry passing in front of him, speechless, "Here, this is my Dayan's pawn? I'm afraid even the Jinwu in the capital can't help it." Such a prestige. Oh! They are still wearing armor, so beautiful. That knife is shining—"
Zhang Bing opened his eyes, glanced at the child lightly, Chunqiu quietly stuck out his tongue, not daring to yell anymore.
My master was relegated to the northwest, and he was appointed as the governor of the upper county. This poor place is also a frontier fortress. Where should a literati like the master come here.It's disgusting that the emperor listened to the villain's words, saying that the master and the former prime minister had an old relationship with the same party, and actually demoted the dignified Guozijian's sacrificial wine to such a place where no shit. It's really annoying.
It's strange to say that this northwest land has held many officials over the past few years, but when they came, they all seemed to be thrown into a lake, without a splash, they disappeared without a trace.Thinking of this incident, Chunqiu felt a little frightened, and most of those fresh thoughts disappeared.
"My lord, those officials are all missing, are they dead?" After holding back for a while, Chunqiu's face turned pale, and he still couldn't help asking.What if my master was "disappeared" like this? !
Zhang Bing shook his head and said, "Stop talking nonsense."
He closed his eyes, but his mind was full of thoughts.
In the past few years, the officials sent by the capital to the northwest have not disappeared, and it is nonsense to say that they are dead. They are just "entangled" and cannot return once they enter the northwest.At the beginning, there were letters and letters, and some officials sent their family members there. Gradually, the court realized that something was wrong. Several county magistrates in the northwest had come to the examination period, and none of them returned to Beijing!
Waiting for the emperor to send three or four times to check, those who checked were also meat buns and dogs and never returned.
After Li Xian disappeared that year, the emperor couldn't wait to order Lu Tao, the magistrate of Pinglu County, to also take charge of the land of Diqiu in the northwest, and bring it under his rule, and he contentedly swallowed up this fat and oily New Jiangnan in the northwest.
In the first one or two years, Pinglu County often reported a bumper harvest of grain, which was used as rations for the Northwest Frontier Fortress nearby. There were also various whimsical gadgets, winter wheat and millet, and other fine varieties presented in large quantities, and a lot of them were obtained. The strange blueprints of strange things were sent to the capital together. Unfortunately, it is said that only Li Xian and his few knowledgeable stewards know the secrets of these blueprints, and others are so dizzy that they don't know what it means.
The emperor wanted to dismantle those "treasures" such as blast furnaces and transport them to Beijing, but he was afraid that no one would be able to install these utensils, and they would be useless, so he had to order Pinglu County to guard them and find another skilled craftsman to restore them. A good thing that produces a thousand catties of molten iron per day.According to the report from Pinglu County, Diqiu, officials, craftsmen and technicians all dispersed after Li Xian disappeared.
When the Turkic barbarians re-entered the border of the Chen State, the world was in chaos, and the Dayan Chen Bing frontier fortress could no longer care about this small corner of the northwest, the weird blast furnace began to emit black smoke at some point, and the officials in the northwest have since No one can return to Beijing.Even Diqiu's "treasure species" planted on Huangzhuang, in the second year, the yield was reduced by more than half, and the grains were shriveled. It doesn't seem to be auspicious, it is simply a "bad omen"!
The emperor was angry and wanted to send troops, but he was pushed close to the frontier fortress by the Turks, so he couldn't sleep at night, so he didn't care about the affairs of the northwest.
They had to send batch after batch of spies into the Northwest, but they hadn't found out yet, but heard a name getting louder and louder-Northwest King.
It is said that this person is the envoy of Qianghu, who lives in the Chihe Fort built for the god Mudus in the Gehele Grassland.
Some people say that he is a Qiang barbarian, but others say that the envoy is a Han, or a Yan who has long since disappeared—the former Prince Li, the captain of the Great Yan Xiwu, and Li Xian.
Hearing this news, the emperor was furious, and asked Li Zhao, who lived in seclusion in the countryside, to go to Beijing, but he and his family had disappeared long ago.Li Tao, who was in the northern frontier fortress, was checked again, but he fell into the water and disappeared during the distribution.
Li Xian's roots and feet in Dayan's hinterland were actually pulled out completely in the past two years without knowing it.
If the Northwest Land sent a large army to conquer it when it was rising, it might be able to eliminate the disaster in its infancy, but now there is no way to do it, so I can only watch this unruly land, the cancerous tumor on the big swallow, grow wildly, there is no other way stop.
Perhaps it was related to the legend that the king of the Northwest was born in Yan. He did not rise up, cause trouble, or even merchants. He just ruled in the northwest, silently devouring the people and officials of Dayan. Incomparable.
Such non-routine actions caused great headaches to the whole court of Dayan, but they also felt relieved for a while, and waited for appeasement, despite the brutal offensive of the Turkic barbarians, they only pretended not to see the northwest corner.
Zhang Bing was not only the Imperial College Jijiu, but also the emperor's teacher, and Li Xian's teacher when he was in Taixue. This trip to the northwest was certainly the emperor's order, and it was his heart's wish.
In the northwest land, people can live.
He wants to see whether this Northwest where people can live, this Northwest that has swallowed hundreds of thousands of people without a single drop of water, is "Yao and Shun led the world with benevolence, and the people followed it;" or "Jie and Zhou led the world with violence, and the people followed it" Follow it."
