The ritual of cultivation has existed in ancient times, and as for the Wei and Jin dynasties, the period of purification in March has become a grand event. On this day, men, women and children, high men and women, all congratulate each other, especially for the small people, it is a rare worry-free time all year round.

Although the war in the west was urgent, on the day of Shangsi, there was still a strong festive atmosphere in the entire Kyokou. Since the morning, a large number of people have dressed up and gone out, or driving, or walking as a car, and there are also people in fresh clothes and angry horses swaggering through the market, flocking to the riverside.

Today's Jingkou is not inferior to Jiankang Gyeonggi, and it is one of the few metropolises along the river. In particular, with the rise of war in the west and the fall of Gyeonggi, a large number of people gathered around Gyeongguchi to seek refuge.

In order to make this repair ceremony smooth and not cause chaos, these people in Jingkou also took a lot of effort. A few days earlier, families had been trying to dissuade people from participating in such large gatherings, but to little avail. So next, the Patrol River Governor's Office took the lead in clearing a large area of open space on the bank of the river for the people to gather and celebrate.

In addition, in order to ensure that there are no accidents such as disturbances during this celebration, Yu Tiao also contacted the various families of the Hidden Lord to do their best to build a bamboo building in the venue, in order to be able to stop it as soon as possible in the event of turmoil, and try to avoid the expansion of the situation and erosion.

On the day of Shangsi, Shen Zhezi also got up early to prepare for the celebration later. Lately, he has been busy with the affairs of the state of Huiji, and he had been discussing with people late into the night before, so he couldn't help but feel a little sleepy. Waiting for the family to get ready to go out later, he lay on the bed and fell asleep again.

Princess Xingnan wore a leather armor hunting suit and rushed in from outside the door, and when she saw Shen Zhezi lying on the Hu bed with her eyes closed, she lowered her pace, sat down softly and slowly, and stared at Shen Zhezi with her hands on her cheeks. Because Shen Zhezi has been very busy recently, she only returns to the room late at night every day, and she is really ashamed to get in front of Shen Zhezi again because she has done stupid things earlier, so the husband and wife have rarely been alone recently.

Shen Zhezi slept very lightly, and as soon as the princess sat down, she was already aware of it, and her expression was a little lazy, and she turned to the side to grab the little girl, and said with a smile: "Why is my lady annoyed?" On today's Purification Day, why hasn't the princess changed her shirt and doesn't plan to go with me? ”

The princess sat beside Shen Zhezi, stretched out two fingers and pressed them between his eyebrows, and said in a tone of pity: "You haven't slept well for a few nights, why don't you know how to take a break in your spare time?" I'm not going anywhere today, I'm only at home with you. ”

As she spoke, her face was gloomy again: "Now that Gyeonggi has not been recovered, and the emperor is still in the hands of traitors, it is difficult for these countries to turn a blind eye and oppose a ritual so concerned!" ”

Shen Zhezi pillowed his head on the little girl's slender thighs, but he smiled bitterly when he heard this. If it was in the past, he should be similar to what the princess thought, and now that the country is in trouble, it is really not appropriate to celebrate it again. But recently, if he wants to help Yu Yi stabilize the situation, he has to think more about the overall situation, and his mentality is different than before.

It is true that the counterattack against the rebels and the recovery of Gyeonggi are imminent, and the sooner the army is raised, the better. But the problem now is that with the capture of Gyeonggi by Liyang, the momentum has reached its peak, and a large amount of material subsidies have been obtained in Gyeonggi, and to be honest, no one side can be sure of victory. If the sudden uprising is broken down, the situation will become even worse.

Not long ago, Su Jun's general Zhang Jian went out of the capital to sweep the suburbs of Beijing, and Wang Shubu was forced to engage him in Langya County, but he collapsed at the touch of a button, and more than 1,000 were killed. Now Wang Shu has led the crowd to retreat to the south of Qu'a and is moving to his hometown. And Han Huang, who had besieged Stone City earlier, also went south to sweep Xuancheng, and now Shi Huanyi in Xuancheng can only stick to Guangde and struggle. And Su Jun's main force has been transferred to Gu Xiao and confronted Wenqiao in Jiangzhou.

If the Huaibei Army was not introduced on a large scale, the military strength of Jingkou itself would not be superior. Although there are still Xu Mao and other Liu Yao's old troops left in Beijing, there are more than 20,000 troops, of which the elite is even fewer. Shen Zhezi, a few thousand well-armed soldiers, is already one of the few powerful troops. With these forces, it is still reluctant to hold the entrance of Gyeongguchi, and then counterattack Gyeonggi, which is really not enough.

Therefore, the important thing in counterinsurgency at the moment is not when to raise troops, but to reach a political consensus with all parties. As long as this consensus is reached, the troops are raised together, and the counterinsurgency is not a difficult thing to do.

In such a situation, the significance of being able to maintain the composure of one's side is even more important than winning a few battles that have nothing to do with the overall situation. Therefore, in the past period, in addition to balancing and stabilizing all parties, Shen Zhezi was also organizing people to visit and watch the Great Cause, in order to stabilize people's hearts. As for those voices that are clamoring for troops to be sent to quell the insurgency as soon as possible, in addition to selectively ignoring them, some of them should be suppressed if they are too drastic.

Thinking about it this way, Shen Zhezi's recent actions are indeed no different from the traitors of the last days, cowardly and peaceful, avoiding practical hypocrisy, jealousy and jealousy, forming parties for personal gain, and indulging in pleasure.

But the situation was like this, and he had to do it again. If the envoys from Jiangzhou and Jingzhou arrive in the future, they will see that Jingkou is already in a mess, and they may not breed other thoughts. So even if it's just for an illusion, many things have to be done.

Today's Shangsi Day repair, in addition to the people's celebrations, there is also no lack of political intentions, mainly for the Huaibei Army across the river.

After the Empress Dowager arrived at Jingkou, Xi Jian sent people to greet and ask for instructions to cross the river as soon as possible, but after being refused, her attitude turned ambiguous, either in order to avoid suspicion or pretend to be a gesture, and many military construction and patrolling troops on the other side of the river were all withdrawn, which inevitably made people think deeply about the thoughts and intentions behind it.

Regardless of whether he was loyal or not, it was impossible for Shen Zhezi to allow Xi Jian to lead the crowd across the river to usurp the dominant power, and in this regard, the interests of his family and the Yu family were completely consistent. The Empress Dowager ordered Xi Jian to enter the lawsuit and supervise the military of the five states of Yanqing and Xu, but did not mention the matter of calling him to cross the river. And recently, inspired by Shen Zhezi, Yu Yi is also letting Yu Tiao's activities divide Xuzhou and separate Jingkou into Southern Xuzhou.

Shen Zhezi also understands that now is not a good time to divide the power, but once this rare opportunity is missed, it will be more difficult to do it in the future, and there will be more resistance. Therefore, he made two preparations, if Jingjiang was too resistant to this, he was willing to contact Liyang, shake hands and make peace, and recognize the legitimacy of Liyang's military actions, so as to attack Jingjiang.

Once there is no righteousness granted by the imperial court, Jiangzhou will not care, and the situation in Jingzhou will inevitably collapse. Nowadays, although Jingzhou is the most powerful in all parties, Tao Kan in Jingzhou is the most unaffordable, and he is not even as good as Liyang has a group of soldiers who can follow his uprising and attack the center, and he is not from a family background. Jingzhou has many heroes and strong, and there are also Nanban, and they have to face the Hou Zhao and Yizhou Cheng Han, once the righteousness is lost, Tao Kan cannot suppress the situation.

This is also one of the reasons why Shen Zhezi dared to take power, and now the most important forces, Jingzhou and Jiangzhou, do not have the qualifications to stand on their own, and they can only rely on righteousness to ensure their power. Yuzhou Qiaomen Yu Liang has died, Qingxu Qiaomen Wang Dao is detained in Taicheng without having to think about it, Wang Shu even has to be overbearing, to barely maintain the situation. As long as Xi Jian can be handled, Zhongfen Yangzhou will have no problems at all.

As long as Huiji can gain self-reliance, the Shen family can be called a complete success, and no one in the current situation can obtain such a calm status as his family. Although it is still difficult to compare with the Langya Wang clan at the beginning of the founding of the country, but think about the Shen family is the face of the southern martial arts sect to step into the current situation, and it has been listed in the political high-ranking gate in less than ten years, which is also an unprecedented achievement since the Chinese and Korean dynasties!

Jingkou has no soldiers to boast of, and if he wants to make Xi Jian in Huaibei feel the pressure and then accept this fact, Shen Zhezi can only show the prosperity unique to Jingkou and his family's control over the situation in Jingkou. How do you have control? Even if the west is in an emergency, Jingkou is still not chaotic!

Therefore, today's Shangsi Day Purification is to reflect the confidence of Jingkou. As long as an atmosphere is set off, it will be much easier to directly contact Xi Jian in the future, or to win over many homeless people in Huaibei.

Of course, Shen Zhezi can talk to Yu Yi eloquently about these thoughts, but it is still a little difficult to talk about in front of Princess Xingnan after all. Hearing this girl's complaint, Shen Zhezi pondered for a while before saying: "The small people are in trouble and state affairs, and they are not guilty and suffer, and they really can't be blamed too much. Shishu can be happy together, and the future can be shared with sorrow. ”

"Or that's the reason, but when I think of Aliu in the capital, I don't know how to live a frightened and frightened life, I really can't be happy."

Unable to rescue the emperor that day, Princess Xingnan always felt guilty, and as time went by, this guilt became deeper and deeper.

"Everything is man-made, and the lady doesn't have to worry deeply. His Majesty the Emperor is an auspicious person and has a heavenly appearance, no matter whether it is morning or evening, I will definitely help my lady to rescue people, so as to be full of hands and feet. ”

Although Shen Zhezi has been gaining a lot of power recently, his main purpose is, of course, to consider his own future fortune. But the premise of doing all this is also based on being able to successfully put down the rebellion and rescue the emperor. Otherwise, the final effect of this series of efforts will be greatly reduced.

"Shen Zhezi, you are so good."

The princess bent down and pressed her forehead against Shen Zhezi's forehead, so tired that she was very crooked.

Shen Zhezi smiled after hearing this, he knew that he had never intended to be a submissive minister, especially for a major event like the Northern Expedition, he must have the complete initiative to increase the possibility of success. The words that the princess said earlier when she thought she was dying may not be the true confession of her heart. If the future reaches the end of the journey, he also hopes that this girl will give him full understanding.

Gua'er, the little maid of the Shen family, walked in with Shen Zhezi's spring coat, and when she saw the scene in front of her, she immediately exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly retreated.

After hearing this, the princess hurriedly raised her head, her cheeks were already flushed, and Shen Zhezi got up and patted the little girl on the shoulder: "Go and change your shirt, I'll wait for you." ”
