Chapter 126: The Sanxiang Rebellion
The carriage was very steady, and although it was driving in the twilight, it was still on the ground. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Because Gong Zuo's technique is not ordinarily good, he does not feel sluggish in the slightest when he controls the horses, and the stability of this special carriage is also amazing. He sat on the frame with a cautious expression, and although he looked no different from usual, he looked particularly energetic with his arm swinging his horsewhip.
The whip whistle crackled, as if to tell the excitement and excitement in the owner's heart.
Quang Ninh City can be said to be the main road into the capital, as an important station, it is actually not big. But because it is already regarded as the outpost of Xingwangfu, in the hands of Emperor Liu Jixing, like other state capitals in the Quartet of Gongwei Xingwangfu, a planned solid city has been built.
Because Quang Ninh has a stream of water passing through, the emperor with advanced consciousness approved the construction of Quang Ninh City near the water. Of course, some people questioned it, but the emperor didn't give much explanation, but just asked people to put a sand table model for everyone to see.
Those officials who only know how to talk on paper clearly understood after reading it, and those who were representatives of the military were naturally amazed. Because such a city has walls on three sides, and one side is a water village built near the water. The water village is stationed close to the water surface, and the retreat is the large camp garrisoned by the infantry army, which perfectly combines the army's water village with the military camp of the infantry army.
Make the three gates of Guangning City today are the city gates, one side is the river market outside the water village, if the foreign enemy wants to enter from the water village, not only to attack the water village, but also to face the rear garrison of the infantry army.
Of course, the market between the water village and the infantry not only greatly promoted the convenience of people's trade and colorful life, but also made the infantry camp near the city more safe. Even the people living between the water village and the Bu military camp also feel safe and secure.
Thanks to this design, Quang Ninh City is not only economically developed, but also has convenient transportation. What's more, with the addition of a convenient waterway, the life and commerce of the people in the city will naturally be on a higher level. Although the city is not large, it also has a sense of prosperity.
As night fell, the carriage drove slowly into the city. There were people from the Juvenile Hall to arrange, and there was also an arrangement where Gong Shu and a few people began to arrive, and the people were not surprised at all by the arrival of several carriages.
Quang Ninh City is actually brightly lit, and Quang Ninh City looks even more beautiful at night.
Silk and bamboo wine is endless, laughter and scolding can be heard everywhere in the streets and alleys, and the people here live very freely. There are not too many worries, everyone's life is vibrant, and I feel that life should be like this.
Liu Jixing sat steadily in the carriage, and the sound outside could naturally be heard. For this kind of happiness of the people, I can already hear and see it in Xingwangfu, which is exactly what I have been pursuing in my heart since I took power.
Several of the most favored concubines around him, Wang Yu is very relieved of himself now, and Xiao Yue's arms and assistants are the happiest for Liu Jixing. In Wang Yu's heart, the strange ideas in her heart have benefited the people of Lingnan, and she feels like an enlightened lover, and now she can be said to support herself 100%, and her heart is full of herself.
At the beginning of the reconstruction of Guangning City, she fully supported her own plan, and even supported her own anti-corruption place, and no one was allowed to take the opportunity to make profits. Now the magistrate of Guangning is a child of the Wang family, a student named Wang Bo, although he has not made any big achievements, but at least he can act completely according to his wishes.
Seeing this situation, we can think of this Wang Bo's political achievements, and he is a good person who stabilizes the situation. Although everyone has shortcomings exposed, Liu Jixing always believes in the saying that people make the best use of their talents. Send these ignorant and fearless young people full of passion to the localities, and they should be more free and unrestrained in the localities, and they will also make greater achievements.
The night in Quang Ninh City is beautiful.
Lifting the curtain slightly, Shi Shiniang turned sideways to the side, so that Liu Jixing could see outside. Liu Jixing didn't care about the carefulness of the two people, after all, he was used to it in the palace. Even if Liu Jixing likes to be simple, it is good to have beautiful women to serve him.
The two women are not too surprising in the eyes of others, but they are a little excited in the eyes of Liu Jixing. Because Wang Ying used to be fatter and more beautiful in the palace, but she was not conspicuous and outstanding in the palace where there were many beautiful women. But after coming out of the palace and joining the secret people, it is naturally inevitable to practice hard work, and it can be said that the body is well-proportioned and sexy.
Even if Shi Shiniang can't catch up with Wang Ying's beauty, it is a rare beauty. In this era, it is clear at a glance that he is a person with a good education and background. Although Liu Jixing is not extraordinary, but after all, he is deep in the palace, and his thinking has long been not like in his own era, and he has accepted Shi Zhenren's marrow, and his body is naturally abnormal.
I just saw the stamen I had been fascinated for a long time, and I was really detached from ordinary people. Liu Jixing was a little excited in his heart, but he also knew that if he was too anxious, he would definitely not refuse. But there was no meaning after that, so he didn't find out his identity.
But the hidden desires in his body were provoked, and there was no need for him to hide himself, he sat there silently, but looked at Wang Ying and Shi Shiniang from time to time.
With the comprehension of the meridian true qi cultivation taught by Shi Zhenren, and the double cultivation path of several people from the Yin Lihua Master's Sect, it is a great help for cultivation. Therefore, Liu Jixing has been cultivating with several concubines, and the true qi in his body has already reached a relatively high level.
When I came to Quang Ninh this time, I actually heard that the stamen had arrived in Lingnan, and I couldn't help but want to come and see it. Now that his heart is calm and natural, seeing the two beauties beside him, Liu Jixing actually felt a little commotion in his heart.
With Liu Jixing's current skills, it doesn't take half a day to ride a fast horse to rush from Xingwangfu to Guangning, but there is no need to worry about anything in the capital. Although he ran out secretly, as his own guard, Yang Jiong left because of something, and Shi Wu also accepted an important task. Nature is inseparable by his side, and only Xia Qinghou is the one who protects his safety.
In fact, when Liu Jixing came out, although he personally went to the palace where he practiced, he did not see his people. But Liu Jixing left a mark where he paid attention, and hurried out to Guangning. No matter how stable Dahan is now, Liu Jixing's identity is still extremely sensitive.
However, Liu Jixing came to see Hua Rui alone just now, and a few close attendants of the Juvenile Hall around him knew that there was no danger in Guangning City for the time being, so he was ordered by Liu Jixing to stay in Guangning City and did not follow him.
Liu Jixing saw the scene outside, and thought of the feeling in his heart, so he said that he wanted to get out of the car and take a walk.
Wang Ying and Shi Shiniang naturally saw Liu Jixing's reaction, but as a woman facing the most powerful person in Lingnan, both of them were worried and secretly happy, but they didn't dare to squeak.
Seeing Liu Jixing say this, the two of them were relieved, although their faces were still red, they still excitedly accompanied Liu Jixing to get out of the car.

Chu Di,
Langzhou Governor's Mansion.
The main hall of the Grand Governor's Palace,
This used to be the main living room of the Ma family's successive envoys, and it was also the living room of the inner mansion of the envoys.
Nowadays, it is the most authoritative place in Chudi, and it is also the place where various policies are released and decision-made, and it is also the place where the people's livelihood plans in Chudi will go in the future.
After Zhou Xingfeng was welcomed to Langzhou by the general Pan Shuhei, he did not build his own mansion or expand the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, so he lived in the original mansion. His pragmatism and frugality enabled him to win a lot of popular support in a short period of time.
Although his wife Yan always said that he was too extravagant, and even did not want to enter the Governor's Mansion at first, he later moved out of the Governor's Mansion and lived in the courtyard of the Zhou family in the countryside. But as Zhou Xingfeng, everyone around him knows that Zhou Xingfeng, as the governor of a feudal town, has been very frugal.
Sitting quietly on the Taishi chair, Zhou Xingfeng frowned at a pair of thick eyebrows, there were too many things he faced every day, and he was used to thinking independently. The military reports in front of him are from Shaozhou and Hengzhou, as well as Yongzhou, which has fallen, and the original military reports have already arrived late.
He also has a few senators and clerks around him, but Zhou Xingfeng has always disliked having literati around him, except for usually drafting some political affairs, Zhou Xingfeng himself can't write these things, and he has to let them complete them, and he thinks that they are not enough to discuss problems with him.
It's not that Zhou Xingfeng is too proud, it's that these people really don't have a broad vision, and the angle from which they discuss problems is completely different. It's not that Zhou Xingfeng looks down on them, they can only help themselves make up for the omissions after they have conceived their own ideas.
This is an ebony carved dragon chair, sitting on it steadily, Zhou Xingfeng feels much more comfortable than sitting cross-legged and kneeling on the couch before.
The chair was still a rarity in this era, and few people sat on this kind of chair, and the Hu stool from Hudi. In addition to the emperor's dragon chair, which is usually common, it is generally a couch, a maza, and a stool, and ordinary people gather and receive guests to kneel or sit on various couches.
This chair is said to be called the Taishi Chair, which means that it is for people with status like the Taishi to sit on. Although it is not carved with nine dragons like the dragon chair, it also uses ebony to carve a dragon pattern with teeth and claws on the backrest. Originally, this pattern seemed to be a kind of transcendence, but in this troubled world, no one would care, looking at whose fists were hard.
The more ebony is used, the more precious it becomes, and the luster naturally looks better. The chair that Zhou Xingfeng is sitting on is made of ebony from Jiaozhou in the south, and the handles on both sides are more than 100 years old. The more precious is the eyeball on the back of the dragon, it is said that it is the best Yazhou water agarwood inlay, which can be condensed and calmed, and the value is naturally very expensive.
Zhou Xingfeng undoubtedly liked this chair very much, because the ebony and water agarwood both exuded a faint fragrance, but they did not compete for their respective fragrances at all, but mixed together to calm his mind.
When he got this chair, Zhou Xingfeng showed great love, not only because of the preciousness of this chair, but also because of the unique shape of this chair and the good craftsmanship that is not similar to contemporary times. Because before Zhou Xingfeng made a fortune, when he rose in the local folk, he was a craftsman who inherited carpentry.
Zhou Xingfeng did not become a good craftsman, but he became a world-famous general. Although I haven't done it again for many years, I still have this eyesight, and when I saw this chair, I liked it deeply.
I usually put it in my living room, and I work here most of the time, and it is comfortable and atmospheric to sit on, and it seems to relieve fatigue and calm my mind. Zhou Xingfeng still felt a little proud in his heart, of course, it was the dragon on the backrest.
Although it is not a nine-dragon chair, the one who can sit on the dragon chair in this era is either a king or an emperor. The people who can enter the hall here in Chu Di now are naturally the clear-eyed people who are now in power in Chu Di, and they all know that although Zhou Xingfeng is not like Ma Yin, the predecessor of Chu Di, he has the ambition and publicity to be called the king and emperor. But at least he is already the soil emperor of Chudi, as for whether he has this mentality, I am afraid that only he knows.
I'm afraid that there is no one in this world who doesn't want to be an emperor, but it depends on whether he has the ability to be an emperor.
The emperor will have a kind of Xiangning!
People in the world who have ideas will sigh this way, what Zhou Xingfeng thinks in his heart, many people know it, that is, he still has this idea in his heart.
Although a chair can't represent anything, it is still a bit shocking in this era, let alone a chair carved with a dragon. If it is placed in the Tang Dynasty in the previous dynasty, this is a typical rebellion.
Since taking power in Chudi, Zhou Xingfeng, who has practiced frugality, has set an example and never wasted himself in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, which is obvious to everyone. This backrest Taishi chair was sent by Zhang Wenbiao, the assassin of Hengzhou, and it is said that it was purchased from the hands of the seafarers on the Lingnan side, the materials came from Jiaozhou, but the workmanship was from the overseas seafarers.
Zhou Xingfeng didn't believe this kind of nonsense, but he never showed it in front of people, let alone be stupid enough to mention it himself. Not to mention that overseas places are out of reach, it is the Lingnan Han Kingdom separated by a ridge, which is also the place where the barbarians of Huawai Wuling live, how many civilizations and skills can there be?
The workmanship of this backrest Taishi chair is delicate and exquisite, the material is either ebony or pear, and as for the decoration of other things on the chair, it will not be cumbersome one by one. Zhou Xingfeng was born as a carpenter, and at a glance he knew that it was not the current craft, and he guessed that he was only born in the palace before he was born. Although there are few patterns on the chair, only the decoration is made on the backrest, but it is powerful and atmospheric, and Zhou Xingfeng does not believe that overseas people can do it.
The previous dynasty was destroyed by Zhu Wen, and all kinds of treasures in the palaces of the east and west capitals can be said to have been lost with the clearance. These things are naturally lost everywhere, even among the people. Many were certainly destroyed in the war, but many others naturally found their way into private pockets.
Zhang Wenbiao was kind, Zhou Xingfeng accepted it calmly and didn't care, and thanked him privately, after all, there are too many things in it. Although he didn't say it explicitly, Zhou Xingfeng felt that this was a good hint that he had gotten.
Since he took charge of Chudi, it can be said that almost all the territory in the south has been entrusted to him, and it is reasonable for him to support his own ideas.
Although the Lingnan Han Kingdom is insignificant, after all, the Liu family, which is now in power, also migrated from the Central Plains at the beginning, and there are really many talents exiled from the previous dynasties, and there are even many old people.
In the last years of the Ma family's control, Chu Di saw the southern states with his own eyes, and was successively occupied by the Tang State and was unable to do anything, and later the Tang State was taken by the Han State to seize the territory. Now Chenzhou, Guiyang, Lingxi and even Jinghai have become the territory of Lingnan, and it is natural to see how many benefits you get.
The importance of the southern gateway is naturally self-evident to the Chu land in the transition of the Central Plains. No matter how much momentum Lingnan has, the conflict on the turf cannot exceed Hengzhou at worst, which is Zhou Xingfeng's bottom line for the south, so Zhou Xingfeng can only send heavy troops in Hengzhou.
For Zhang Wenbiao, Zhou Xingfeng can be said to know a lot.
Although they both belong to the brothers who swore back then, among the ten brothers, Zhang Wenbiao belongs to the kind of unknown generation, and has always been overshadowed by himself and Wang Jinkui. It's not that Zhang Wen's appearance is clumsy, but although he has a clumsy heart in his heart, the things in his stomach are limited.
It's not that Zhou Xingfeng is too proud, since he met Zhang Wenbiao, he didn't take him too seriously, in his own eyes, he was just a little brother who grew up by himself, and he was a master of marksmanship, most of which he taught.
In Zhou Xingfeng's heart, he feels that he and himself are not a level of character at all, but since the worship, the brothers of the year have slowly ceased to exist, and now there is Liu Ming who is left with Yuezhou, and Zhou Xingfeng has a little bit of fulfillment.
As long as he keeps following him, Zhou Xingfeng will never treat him badly, so it can be said that he usually responds to Zhang Wenbiao's needs. However, Zhou Xingfeng thinks he is smart, so he is a little more defensive of others.
Therefore, since taking power, although there is a bit of a mentality to reorganize the mountains and rivers, it is a pity that there are not many people around him. And in Zhou Xingfeng's heart, with the increase in power in recent years, and the increasing importance of identity, this Zhang Wenbiao seems to be a little arrogant, but under his own power, he has always behaved obediently.
looked coldly at the urgent report in front of him, this is Zhang Wenbiao's quick report, describing the situation crisis in several places in Hengzhou today. Of course, there is also Pan Song, who was personally dispatched to Shaozhou, and he doesn't seem to have achieved the effect he wants.
and the fall of Yongzhou City, which is the hottest thing in Zhou Xingfeng's heart. He even wondered if Zhang Wenbiao was deliberately playing ghosts, Yongzhou City was located at a critical point and had always been an important place. He sent many of his cronies there, but now he didn't hear any news, and he actually fell.
That's a little too abnormal! After years of fighting in the army, he has long been accustomed to these so-called battles.
However, for the lack of pan-talents around him, and the help of real helpers, he can only feel deep powerlessness. Talent is naturally not something that can be obtained quickly and overnight. But if you cultivate slowly, this era does not have the time to prepare for yourself.
If Zhang Wenbiao wasn't helpless and in crisis, he wouldn't have wanted to beg himself! If it was a normal brother, Zhou Xingfeng believed Zhang Wenbiao's words very much, but when he saw Pan Song's report coming at the same time, Zhou Xingfeng couldn't help but feel hazy in his heart.
The first one was presented by Pan Song after he arrived in Shaozhou, which was an untargeted report, just telling himself that he had successfully controlled the situation in Shaozhou. But he also said one thing, that is, Zhang Wenbiao, who reported that the state had fallen, did not let Pan Song send troops to support.
Originally, there was no problem with this, maybe Zhang Wenbiao didn't have much of a crisis, and he felt that there was no need to find Pan Song. But then there was an urgent report from Zhou Dunqi, the assassin of Yongzhou, but Zhou Xingfeng, who was suspicious by nature, weighed it in his heart. It turned out that several good horses had died for this urgent report, and it was said that the spy who delivered the letter escaped from Yongzhou City alone.
Why didn't Zhang Wenbiao send people to support Yongzhou? Although Yongzhou is an independent state, he has always been assigned to Zhang Wenbiao's Hengzhou checks and balances. Moreover, Yongzhou City is the gate of Daozhou City into Chu, and it is one of the two major towns that he contacted Wuxi, so Zhang Wenbiao didn't take it to heart?
It's not that he didn't take it to heart! I haven't gotten the true situation of the fall of Daozhou City now, but I just know about this matter, and it's just Zhang Wenbiao's report. After the fall of Daozhou City, it was impossible for him not to pay attention to Yongzhou City! And now that Yongzhou City is in crisis, he did not let Pan Song respond positively.
There are only two possibilities, then either Yongzhou City is really dangerous, or Daozhou City has not fallen at all, Zhang Wenbiao falsely reported the military situation, and asked him to mobilize the troops of several states to gather around Yongzhou City.
Zhou Xingfeng's face was gloomy and he could drip water, although he knew that Zhang Wenbiao could not be so bold, but if Yongzhou City was also in his hands, then one-third of his territory, the lord of Chu Land, would be his.
The second report from Shaozhou is that Pan Song received Zhang Wenbiao's support, which means that Pan Song should go directly to the vicinity of Yongzhou to support. Pan Song said that in order to calm the turmoil in the whole territory, after dispersing his forces, he was attacked by some fierce attacks, and he could only send 6,000 troops to Yongzhou.
There is also a report that I got by luck, which came from Yongzhou, which had fallen, but was sent by Ma Huateng, the Yongzhou water and land support envoy personally appointed by himself. It is said that Yongzhou City was attacked by armed forces of unknown origin, and Zhou Dunqi was trapped in Yongzhou City, and his own water village was counterattacked by Neiying, and the entire Xiangjiang River waterway was destroyed. In order to repay the appreciation of Zhou Xingfeng, he will definitely repay it with his body.
Seeing this, Zhou Xingfeng sighed even more, but there was a little more anger in his heart. It turned out that there was another report on the table, but Zhang Wenbiao said that on the way to Yongzhou City, he was ambushed by the generals from Lingnan, and Yongzhou City was already in danger, hoping that Zhou Xingfeng could order him to join forces in several states and go to besiege Yongzhou City.
"Ninth brother, ninth brother! You can't wait! With a palm slammed on the desk, Zhou Xingfeng's face turned pale, and the report on the stage was smashed. It turns out that Zhou Xingfeng, who has always been regarded as just a general of the unified army, is actually a master with deep internal strength.
The desk is in a safe state, and the confetti is flying, it can be seen that he is at least a master of the innate realm. It is really not to be underestimated, Zhou Xingfeng is really hidden very deeply, how can outsiders know his skills.
