Chapter 1004: The Current Situation
The time has come to the scene and July of the fifth year.
After King Jing, who was extremely powerful and trusted by His Majesty, left Beijing, although the pressure in the hearts of the hundreds of officials in the court and central government decreased a lot, the physical pressure increased.
Because Her Royal Highness the princess ordered that all departments of the court should only submit one piece of music every day.
This means that, from now on, they will not be able to present the problems they have encountered, they will need to solve most of the problems themselves, and after discussion, leave the most difficult and important problems to the princess to decide.
This is not a good thing for officials in the DPRK and China, who are accustomed to sitting back and enjoying their success.
Those corpses of the vegetarian people suddenly felt the pressure, once a month performance evaluation, determines whether their promotion road is smooth, now the Pearl Academy has officially opened, which means that there will be a large number of talents into the court in the future, in the court, it is like a boat against the current, do not advance or retreat......
However, in comparison, their luck is good.
The guy who had just been deposed to Shuzhou as the assassin of Shuzhou was really unlucky.
Although it is a degraded official, Shuzhou is also relatively remote, poor, rampant with bandits, and extremely poor public security, but in addition ......to these, there are no other shortcomings.
It's a state assassin history, at least in the Shuzhou territory, and it is a stable leader.
But His Majesty took Shuzhou as the fief of King Jing this time, and Shuzhou's finances, military and political, and large and small affairs were all handed over.
Speaking of which, although the princes of the imperial court, although they all have fiefs, but they are only honorable, they can only enjoy a part of the taxes of their fiefs, and they have no right to participate in the governance of the fiefs------.
But when His Majesty announced the matter two months ago, few people in the court objected.
When I came to Shuzhou, the location was really special, it was located in a remote area, not to mention the border with Qi State, and the local wandering bandits and bandits made the government extremely headache.
Poor mountains, bad waters, and the people ......, one will only drag its feet and create no value for the country, and the place with the same chicken ribs will be sealed if it is sealed, as long as it can send away that great god, even if it is sent to another state, it doesn't hurt.
At the beginning of July, the wind was gentle and the sky was clear, and when the hundred officials walked out of the palace gate, the red sun in the sky only rose halfway.
Although these days are tiring, their hearts are full of passion and drive.
The border is stable, the court is harmonious, and today's Jingguo can be regarded as truly free of internal and external troubles, and this great river and mountain is still waiting for them to govern......
……
On the palace wall, for two months, the girls who stood here every day and watched stood there as always.
"Princess, those female gentlemen, have all moved into the academy, many powerful officials in the capital are willing to send their daughters to the academy, and we have selected some smart and beautiful women in the people, and now the academy has more than 100 students......"
"It's all ready...... the girl muttered, her gaze retracted from a distance, and nodded, "The hospital will open tomorrow." ”
In the Morning Dew Palace, Her Royal Highness the Princess danced drunk, and she couldn't see the sword in her hand clearly, only a white shadow could be seen.
At the entrance of the hall, an old woman looked at it for a long time, then turned her head and asked Chang Dedao: "How long is it before Your Highness takes that step?" ”
Chang De looked at the figure and said slowly: "As soon as you have a thought, you will enter immediately, and your heart will be sad, and you will waste your life......"
The old woman glared at him, "Talking about people!" ”
"Look at the ...... chance"
In the Qinzheng Palace, Li Xuan finished approving a piece of music, looked at the thick pile next to him, picked up a long letter, read it several times, his face showed a look of yearning, and after a while, he shook his head, and scolded angrily: "The guy who has no righteousness ......"
After scolding a few words, he reluctantly picked up another note.
The emperor of Qi was seriously ill and could not come to the court, the crown prince was in charge of the country, and more than half of the officials of the court supported the third prince Zhao Yi......
Qi withdrew its troops, and Zhao was unable to support it alone, so he also withdrew on the second day......
Within half a year, there were dozens of rebellions in Wuguo, and the imperial court could not cope with them, and the rebels were already in a stalemate......
……
Qi country.
East Palace.
The angry young man swept all the notebooks on the table to the ground and scolded angrily: "What do they want to do, the crown prince of this king is sealed by his father, they don't recognize it, why don't they recognize it, do they want to rebel!" ”
A strategist immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, calm your anger, calm your anger, the three princes have not yet reached the point of covering the sky with one hand in the capital, and many adults in the court are already fighting for your highness......"
"Fight?" A sneer appeared on the young man's face, and he said: "The names of those people, this king will remember them one by one, this king's east palace, how can they come when they want to, and leave when they want......
Fengwang Mansion.
A young man was engrossed in copying a post, someone knocked on the door, walked in from the outside, and waited for him to put down the pen before bowing down and saying: "Your Highness, the prince's side, it seems that he is in a hurry, in the past two days, many adults have been visited by them......"
"It doesn't matter." Zhao Yi shook his head, did not follow his words, but looked out the window and muttered: "King Jing......, Li Xuan, Li Xuan, should I say that you are smart, or should I say that you are stupid......"
He turned around and asked, "Is there any news from Shuzhou?" ”
The man shook his head and said, "It's been closely watched, and there is still no news about King Jing." ”
Zhao Yi looked out the window, a smile appeared on his face, "Brother Li, Brother Li, I believe that we will meet again......"
Qi Guojing Division, a shop somewhere.
A big man came out of the shop, pointed to a few guys, and said, "It's all valuables, be careful to move them, if they break, you can't afford to lose ...... if you sell them."
After telling him so, he ran back to the shop and said flatteringly to a woman: "Miss, this batch of new goods from Kyoto was booked out last month......
The woman didn't care about the goods at all, looked at him, and asked, "Is it just the goods?" ”
Dahan was stunned, then patted his head and said, "I almost forgot, this is Brother Li's letter......"
With that, he took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to her.
The woman opened the envelope, and the big man immediately poked his head to look at it, and after glancing at him, the woman took the letter and walked into the room......
Lin Yong pursed his lips and muttered, "Isn't it just a letter, and it's not something unsightly, as for it......"
A state in Wuguo.
A general rushed into the camp tent in a hurry, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, urgent battle report, the Lingzhou we just captured has been broken by the imperial court, General Fan ......, and General Fan has been captured......"
The woman wearing armor and a little immature on her face stood up and said in a deep voice: "Leave Lingzhou for the time being, defend Yanzhou, I will immediately send General Zheng to reinforce ......"
After she made some arrangements, inside the tent, a one-eyed general stood up and said, "Your Highness don't worry, now that there is a rebellion in many states, the imperial court is scattered, and it is mainly defensive, and it will not take the initiative to attack......
The woman pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Even so, you have to guard against it." ”
After a short time she stepped out of the tent and walked to another tent.
When he walked to the tent door, he heard a commotion coming from inside.
"I don't care, I don't care, I have a headache when I read a book, I don't read anymore, I want to go out and play......"
It was a slightly childish voice.
The other voice was a little old, and at this moment, he said a little anxiously: "Your Highness, no, you are going to inherit the great unification in the future, how can you be discouraged, do you know that the King of Jin in Jingguo is younger than you, and he can already run a courtyard alone, and he is already the pillar of the Jingguo court, you have to learn from the King of Jin......"
The immature voice stubbornly said: "I don't care about the king of Jin, I want to play ......"
The woman lifted the curtain, walked in, and said with a sinking face: "Yang Fu! ”
When the young man in the tent saw her come in, his face changed, and he immediately hid behind an old man.
"The old minister has seen His Highness." The old man bowed to the woman.
"The prime minister doesn't have to be polite." The woman hurriedly helped him up, glanced at the young man again, and said, "If he is disobedient, the prime minister can punish him severely, don't get used to him every time." ”
"Blind punishment is not the right way, it should be based on persuasion, besides, His Royal Highness is young, it doesn't hurt to be playful......" The old man shook his head and said: "It's just that now there are three princes in the Qi Kingdom, and the royal family of Jingguo is even more talented, and even women can preside over the government, let alone the young King of Jin......"
"His Royal Highness has been in Jingguo for so long, this point is clearer than the old minister......" He sighed and said: "The old man is just worried, my Wuguo ......, and there is no successor!" ”
The woman lowered her head and said no more.
Jingguo royal family talents, the eldest princess to a woman's body, showing the statecraft of the world, the King of Jin was only 12 or 10 years old, he was able to support the first academy of arithmetic, their current emperor, is the creation of the Academy of Sciences, greatly improved the people's livelihood, so that Jingguo's military strength has also undergone earth-shaking changes, deterring the country......
The most important thing is, and most importantly......
A familiar face appeared in her mind, and then her face darkened slightly.
When the young man saw her, he lowered his head, walked out from behind the old man, shook her arm, and said, "Sister, don't be angry, I will listen to the prime minister, I will study hard......"
The woman touched his head and said, "If you want to play, go play......"
"Thank you, sister!" The young man said happily and ran out of the tent as fast as he could.
The old man looked outside the tent, shook his head, and sighed: "God does not bless my martial country, let us have so many disasters, expel the rebellion, and restore the ...... of the country."
He faced the woman, knelt down slowly, and said in a loud voice: "It's up to Her Royal Highness the Princess!" ”
Yang Liuqing leaned down and helped him up, a trace of determination appeared on his face, and said: "Prime Minister rest assured, I will definitely avenge the revenge of my father, queen and mother, and I will not let the people of Li in my martial country continue to suffer from this......"
……
Shuzhou.
As the most remote state in Jingguo, the imperial court has always taken a laissez-faire attitude towards this place.
It is precisely because of the remoteness of Shuzhou and the chaotic place that the three neighbors do not care about, bandits are ......rampant, and when the king of Shu was in the first two years, he searched everywhere for the people's fat and ointment, and the life of the people of Shuzhou was even more difficult.
Now that the King of Shu is gone, there is another King Jing......
The Jingwang Mansion is already under construction, although the people of Shuzhou are not asked to donate silver in the name of this, and it seems that they are not the same kind of people as the King of Shu, but the people are still very apprehensive when they mention His Royal Highness King Jing, who has heard of it for the first time.
In the past two years, there have been fewer bandits who have come out of the land of chaos to plague the people, and their lives have finally been better, but don't send away the jackals and the tigers and leopards again......
Strange to say, the situation in the Land of Chaos has been mixed in the past two years.
Some people say that they are extremely vicious, burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil.
Some people say that the bandits are also kind, as long as they pay a certain fee, they will escort the caravan out of the chaotic place, which is tantamount to hiring a reliable guard, in terms of cost, it is cheaper than hiring a real guard......
And when encountering bandits, the way to tell whether to resist or not is to see if the person they lead has hair on their head......
At this time, in the chaotic land, in an unknown mountain, a bald man rushed into a room with a piece of paper, and said loudly: "Nerd, nerd, quick, the prince has sent a letter, read it to me, see what the prince said!" ”
"What's the hurry, what's the hurry...... a young man with a pale face and a somewhat weak body glanced at him, took the letter, looked at it, and said with a smile: "The prince said that they are about to arrive in Shuzhou, let's go over first......"
Dahan slapped his thigh and laughed: "The prince is here, and the brothers in the alliance are also here, now it's okay, those bastards, see that Lao Tzu misbehaved their nest this time, let those little rabbits know who is covering this chaotic place!" ”
Dahan walked out of the door, and a group of people who came to him immediately saluted respectfully, "Hello big brother!" ”
This group of people stood together with the bald man, looking extraordinarily harmonious, as if the world around them had brightened up a little.
The bald man waved his hand to the row of bald heads in front of him and said, "The prince is coming, cheer me up, don't lose my face......"
A group of people answered and scattered.
You can see that this is a flattened hill, the area is huge, the ground is all paved with bluestone slabs, the houses are scattered, you will find along a street to the front, there are shops, there are hooks, there are hospitals, there are ......restaurants, there are outside, there is everything here, it is simply a shrunken city in the mountains.
In the past two years, a lot of people have been captured, and if they have nothing to do, let them build bridges, pave roads and build houses, and now they have finally made some achievements, and when the prince comes, he should be satisfied......
The big man touched his shiny head and smiled on his face.
Dozens of miles away, someone's face was very ugly.
The man's face was gloomy and he asked, "What did those people say?" ”
A young man glanced up and said, "They said that the other party has a lot of good players and good strength, unless their mother comes out, it will be difficult for even the two of us to take advantage of it, so it is recommended that we do not act rashly......"
The man pursed his lips disdainfully, "What kind of bullshit Holy Sect, it's just like that......"
"Your Highness, then we ......"
The man waved his hand, "Let them run rampant for a few more days......
At the same time, on the hill adjacent to this place, a purple-clothed man walked into the room, looked at the young man in the room, and asked, "Lord Messenger, what did Niangniang say over there?" ”
"On the Qi side, the overall situation is undecided, and Niangniang has no time to take care of it for the time being." The young man waved his hand and said, "Don't get into a conflict with them yet." ”
The man in purple nodded, and asked again, "How do you explain to that person......
"It's just a waste, if it weren't for the fact that he would be of some use in the future, how could he have been kept until now?" The young man said casually, got up and walked out of the door, out of the yard.
In the open space in front of him, a man in yellow took a bite of the bun, frowned, and said, "Who steamed the bun today, and killed the salt seller......
He took a few sips, tossed the bun in the corner, and when he turned his head, he found a gaze looking at him.
"Protecting ...... Dharma Protector! ”
Sensing the coldness in his gaze, he shuddered, ran over quickly, swallowed the dust-stained bun, and said in a trembling voice: "This bun is good, delicious......
The only decree of the Holy Religion is to obey the orders of the mother.
The Holy Church also has an invisible fatwa.
You can't waste food------ especially not in front of the Right Protector.
Disobedience to the mother is a dead end.
Wasting food in front of the Right Protector is worse than death.
……
In the past two years, the security of Shuzhou has been slightly improved, although it is not the credit of the government, but the caravans willing to pass through here have also increased.
At this moment, several carriages are slowly driving into the boundary of Shuzhou along the official road.
