Chapter 189: Unmarried Pregnancy (Happy New Year Wishes Everyone)
As soon as Chu Yun came back, everything was arranged, of course, it was not that he was smarter than others, but that he was the emperor, and other people did not dare to make decisions casually, and the effect of Chu Yun's continuous centralization of power was obvious.
This time the Ming Dynasty defeated Jiuquan, it is likely to have very serious consequences, after all, the relationship between countries is often similar to the relationship between people, two people fight, you are more fierce than others, the other will involuntarily fear, combat effectiveness will be reduced. But if you suddenly become weak, then the opponent will become fierce, and the unlucky one will become yourself.
Da Ming is now equivalent to fighting with several enemies, and the other party's eldest brother has not yet made a move, and he has been cleaned up by the other party's younger brother, so that the other party will definitely continue to clean himself up, and even those neutral people will want to do it to themselves. After all, people can't help but stand on the side of the strong.
If Daming wants to solve this embarrassing situation, he must come up with a big victory in a short period of time to deter all countries.
The country of Qiu Chi appeared in Chu Yun's eyes, speaking of Qiu Chi, people who are not specialized in the history of the Sixteen Kingdoms may not have heard of it, but this country has a long life, and the national fortune is full of three hundred years, you must know that there are not many countries with more than three hundred years of Chinese history.
Of course, in fact, the history of Qiuchi is interrupted, there should be five regimes, but they are all rulers of the same bloodline, so they are all called Qiuchi, they are the former Qiuchi State, the later Qiuchi State, Wudu State, Wuxing State, and Yinping State Five regimes. The Qiuchi State was established in 296 AD, and the Yinping State lasted until 580, and the tenacity of the Hu regime was impressive.
The current Qiu Chi is under the rule of the former Qiu Chi State, in the first year of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (317 years), the former Qiu Chi was divided, and Yang Maosou's eldest son Yang Nandi succeeded to the throne, called Zuo Xian Wang, Tun Xia distinguished. His younger brother Yang Jian's number one right virtuous king, Tunhechi (now Hui County), and most of the present-day Longnan region were within his control. After that, the brothers fought among themselves, and the national strength weakened day by day.
Now Qiu Chi's lord is called Yang Chu, because Qiu Chi is weak, so he has no prestige, but this time he actually sent troops to help Da Liang against the Ming Dynasty, and he won, thus gaining the attention of the world, but unfortunately, this attention will bring him the disaster of destroying the country.
Chu Yun is ready to give this opportunity to Lu Zhong, although Lu Zhong's stupidity has wiped out the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Ming Dynasty, but Lu Zhong is loyal to himself after all, sometimes, an emperor is not unaware of the preciousness of talents, but the reuse is always the most loyal to himself.
Thinking about it from Lu Zhong's point of view, Lu Zhong has been in a stalemate with the enemy over the years, and he has been used by Chu Yun as a general who can't win battles, which is a shame for a soldier. What's more, Lu Zhong is still the general with the highest title (founding county) and the highest position, and his pressure can be imagined. The title of the Ming Dynasty has five levels, and the prince does not count, because the Ming Dynasty stipulates that if you are not a royal family and have made great contributions, you will not be allowed to be crowned king. These five levels are the princes and uncles, each level is three levels, a total of fifteen levels of titles. Of course, each level can also be said to be six levels, for example, the marquis has a county candidate, a township candidate and a pavilion candidate, but these three levels can be added to the word founding, for example, Lu Zhong is the founding county marquis, although it is just to see the king and not worship, but this is a symbol of status. All the founding titles do not need to bow down when they see the king.
This time, Chu Yun was ready to let Lu Zhong lead his troops to break through Qiu Chi and become the first general with the merit of destroying the country, but Dacheng was conquered by Mo Han with a strategy, which is why Chu Yun re-accepted Mo Han. There are only more than 300,000 people in the country, but it is just a land of two counties, and the whole country is 60,000 or 70,000 people, and it only needs to let Lu Zhong lead more than 100,000 people, and it will consume the dead Qiu Chi. Chu Yun was going to send Fu Hong, the deputy privy envoy, to him as his deputy, this Fu Hong himself had good military talents, and his sons were all extraordinary, after all, they were from the emperor's family. But now they have no chance to claim the emperor and build the country, after all, the mountain of Chu Yun is pressing. Chu Yun is not a fool like Fu Jian, and it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to collapse like the Great Qin State. In addition, Chu Yun is also ready to let Cui Cheng participate in this operation, his son needs this credit, and he was originally born in the army.
After destroying Qiu Chi, Chu Yun will mobilize Lu Zhong to guard Si Lizhou and replace Wang Jie. Sili Prefecture has a tiger prison, so there is no danger, if Lu Zhong is allowed to replace Xie Ai in the state, he will not have that ability.
Chu Yun was ready to let Wang Jie lead the army to attack the Great Liang Kingdom for the second time, completely capture Zhangye County and Jiuquan County, and let the people of the world see the fate of opposing the Ming Dynasty. Without the entire Hexi Corridor, there is no threat to the Great Liang Kingdom, only need to support Zhang Jun's eldest son Zhang Zuo and his son Zhang Chonghua to fight inwardly, and when the time is ripe, it will be enough to completely occupy the Great Liang.
Chu Yun was not ready to make a big show, so he would mobilize Lu Zhong to come back, after all, the defeat of the Great Liang Kingdom made Chu Yun see clearly that the Supervision Division and the Jinyi Guard were not invincible, otherwise how could Da Ming be ambushed this time.
Chu Yun was ready to mobilize a large army to support the Western Front with great fanfare, so that everyone thought that he was going to attack Da Liang for the second time, and then suddenly let Lu Zhong lead his troops to attack Qiu Chi, completely occupying this little guy who was against him, and it could be regarded as an important helper in cutting off the Great Liang Kingdom.
After dealing with some important things, Chu Yun chose to retreat, this time his mental power was drained out of his own energy still had a great impact on himself, at least mentally, Chu Yun didn't feel it for months without rest, but now Chu Yun was tired after only a day or two without rest.
After a simple tidying up of his body, Chu Yun went to rest, he put his arms around Liu Mei and slept well, and his spirit felt much better. This Xiongnu princess is also almost thirty years old, which happens to be the most beautiful age for women, and I don't know what these Hu women think, Chu Yun killed all the men in their family, she didn't hold grudges, but was glad that she was with the most powerful man in the world, and she loved Chu Yun to death, and Chu Yun was embarrassed to alienate her.
After a good night's sleep, Chu Yun was refreshed, and Chu Yun couldn't retreat again, after all, he only dealt with some major matters that day, and he had a lot of things to deal with, although Chu Yun was already able to push and push, but as an emperor, three hundred and sixty-five days a year, he still had to take out a third of it to deal with various things, which made Chu Yun firm in cultivating Cui Cheng as soon as possible. This kid did a good job in Ba County, he fought wits and courage with the natives of Ba County to suppress the scene, but now he has only been in office for a year, and he was transferred to Jiuquan County by Chu Yun, it is really Chu Yun who has no better manpower, and it is easier for him to make meritorious contributions in Jiuquan County.
Chu Yun is going to train him to become a state assassin within two years, and the Ming Dynasty has a total of six major assassins, and becoming a assassin is a feudal official, which is an excellent springboard to enter the cabinet. Chu Yun had already ordered that Wenchen, who had never served as an assassin, was not allowed to enter the cabinet, and Chu Yun didn't want to make some guys who didn't understand anything about people's livelihood, so he just knew how to play tricks and become cabinet ministers.
Of course, there is an essential difference between the history of the Ming Dynasty and the history of the Han Dynasty, the history of the Ming Dynasty has no military power, and this alone limits the power of the locality, and it is impossible to compete with the central government. However, this is already the top high position of civil officials, and the Yizhou Assassin History and the Six Shangshu are all second-rank members at the same level, you must know that unless it is authorized by Chu Yun's holy decree, the peak of civil officials is from the first rank, and it is still a false position. The arrangement of the cabinet elder Chu Yun is the same as that of the Ming Dynasty in history, they are all minor officials of the sixth grade, and they are nominally Chu Yun, the emperor's secretary.
After Cui Cheng worked in the county guard position for two years, and then let Cui Cheng serve as the assassin for a few more years, he was transferred to the official position of the Six Shangshu, and after a few more years, Chu Yun openly announced that Cui Cheng was the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and he gave him a two-year stake, and then abdicated to become the emperor, and Chu Yun could have countless conditions for retreat and cultivation. This cultivation will take more than ten years, which is actually fast, after all, it is to train an emperor for an empire.
Speaking of which, Chu Yun's father is also really careless, Cui Cheng is twenty-six years old this year, and his marriage has not been resolved, but he has privately reconciled with Wen Qiao's granddaughter, and he will make an order for them to marry when he has time, Wen Qiao is a good helper, but as a relative, the strength of their Wen family is average, ten years later, Chu Yun estimates that Wen Qiao is gone, and the Wen family is just a second-rate family at that time. This relative will not affect the imperial power, it just meets Chu Yun's requirements, otherwise no matter how willing Cui Cheng and Wen Qiao's granddaughter are, Chu Yun will also beat the mandarin duck.
On a carriage leading to Chang'an, a young man was writing something, the bumps of the carriage made his writing intermittent, but this was already the best official road in the Ming Dynasty. No matter how bumpy it is compared to the most ordinary cement road in later generations, this is not something that Chu Yun can change, and the traverser is not omnipotent, if you ask Chu Yun how to make cement and asphalt? Chu Yun just wanted to say: Haha, the weather is good today.
There was also a beautiful woman in the middle of the carriage, but the woman's belly was a little bulging, and it seemed that she was pregnant.
"Husband, we already have flesh and blood, will we get married immediately after we go back? The concubine is afraid of becoming the laughing stock of Chang'an City. Wen Huailei cried quietly, he and Cui Cheng were not married, and having a child out of wedlock was a crime in ancient times, even if the child she conceived was her fiancé's. But every time she asked Cui Cheng, Cui Cheng would refuse, which made Wen Huailei, a girl who was only seventeen years old, nervous, she thought that Cui Cheng looked down on her and didn't want herself. In fact, how did Wen Huailei know, Cui Cheng was also very rare, how could he not like Wen Huailei, the two of them got along day and night, dry wood and fire, but they didn't expect to be pregnant. Although the two of them were married under Wen Qiao's strong auspices, his father Chu Yun never spoke, he was even more worried than Wen Huailei, he didn't know that Chu Yun had agreed to their marriage in his heart.
However, he has already made a decision, this time he must go to his father to confess, he came to Chang'an this time to report on his work is the best opportunity, otherwise once the official department gets the official seal document, he will have to go to Wuwei County to take up his post. Cui Cheng couldn't tell his fiancée about these things, he comforted him a few words, and then got out of the carriage, and the staff You Liangchen rode a horse to Cui Cheng's side, You Liangchen and Cui Cheng stayed for a year, for Cui Cheng, You Liangchen is very optimistic, this time he was transferred to Wuwei County It is a good sign, which shows that Cui Cheng Jian is in the emperor's heart. But for him, he was a little upset about Wen Huailei, after all, he had been with Cui Cheng for a year, and he had known the girl of the Wen family for a long time, and now that he has children, Cui Cheng didn't even mention marriage, this is a bit of a jerk, where does Wen Ge go?
"Brother Cui, it's not for your brother to say you, you really should marry your brother and sister as soon as possible. You Liangchen still couldn't help but say it, and Cui Cheng's face was gloomy for a while.
It took a long time for him to raise his head, "Brother You, you don't know, I can't sit on my own marriage by myself, I can only try my best not to disappoint Lei'er." ”
Hearing Cui Cheng's uncertain words, You Liangchen was a little angry, what does it mean that you can't be the master?
Cui Cheng knew what he was thinking when he saw You Liangchen's face, he was very optimistic about You Liangchen, and he had always regarded him as his best helper, and he couldn't let him chill, so he decided to reveal a little: "Brother You, I have something to tell you, but you have to promise me that I can't tell anyone, not even a teacher, can you do it?"
Cui Cheng's words swallowed back the angry words that You Liangchen was about to blurt out, he nodded solemnly at Cui Cheng, Cui Cheng knew You Liangchen's character, he said yes, he said that he would definitely be able to do it if he didn't tell others.
"Brother You, I actually have my father alive. You Liangchen's head buzzed when he heard this, his grandfather You Ziyuan said that Cui Cheng's life experience definitely has a great background, but he only heard that Cui Cheng lived with a mother, and there were no other relatives, so he really couldn't see the background. Now that I hear that Cui Cheng has a father, and I have never heard Cui Cheng say it, the kind of admiration that leaks from Cui Cheng's eyes when I see Cui Cheng say the words of his father will never be fake. Cui Cheng was once the commander of the forbidden army in the rear camp at a young age, and then transferred to a civilian official, becoming a county guard, so that Cui Cheng could be so respected, wouldn't his father have a higher position? Is it Ma Liang, Mo Han, Lu Zhong, or who? Cui Cheng became even more mysterious in You Liangchen's heart.
"I know, my father is alive, and you really can't sit on the throne when it comes to marriage. You Liangchen no longer talked about this topic, but he decided in his heart that when he returned to Chang'an, he must inquire from his grandfather, who can make his grandfather stutter, You Liangchen is still very curious. After all, his grandfather threw himself next to Cui Cheng as a staff member, which is a typical stammer.
You Liangchen chatted with Cui Cheng about the scenery on the road, they are all famous teachers, so they can talk about going together, and chatting about the arrival of Chang'an soon. Cui Cheng is not ready to send Wen Huailei back to the Wen family, he is going to take her back to his own house first, he only has his mother in his family, who can hide people's eyes and ears, but if he is sent to the Wen family, then the Wen family will be shameless, he can only go alone to explain to his master Wen Qiao, as for whether to kill or kill Cui Cheng confessed.
When Cui Ning saw Cui Cheng, although it was only one year, she felt that her son had left her for a long time, and the rest of her life was for her son to live, and her high-ranking husband no longer wanted her. Cui Ning took Cui Cheng's hand and kept asking for warmth, Cui Cheng didn't even have time to interject, You Liangchen and Wen Huailei stood awkwardly together, Cui Ning really cared about his son too much.
"Mother, this is You Liangchen, I wrote to tell you that he is the grandson of my teacher Qin Guogong, and he is helping me in Ba County, and we have married Jin Lan. Cui Cheng saw that his mother finally saw the two people behind him, and hurriedly introduced them. After all, Cui Ning was a person from the Cui family in Qinghe, and he had also commanded Chu Yun's harem during the Iron and Blood Army, so he did not lose his courtesy, and hurriedly said a few words to You Liangchen, without any rudeness. You Liangchen was a little surprised in his heart, he could see that the kind of temperament on Cui Ning's body would never be something that a small family could cultivate, and he was even more curious about the life experience of destruction.
You Liangchen didn't stay long, and soon said goodbye and left. Cui Ning sent You Liangchen away, only then did she look at Wen Huailei, she walked over and took Wen Huailei's hand, "This is Miss Wen, I will mention you every time I write a letter, and the old body will thank you for taking care of Xi'er." It can be seen that Cui Ning likes Wen Huailei very much, which makes Cui Cheng and Wen Huailei both breathe a sigh of relief, seeing that their family is talking, You Liangchen consciously said goodbye.
Cui Cheng saw that his mother was in a good mood, so he spoke carefully: "Mother, Lei'er is pregnant." Cui Ning looked at Wen Huailei's belly in disbelief, and sure enough, she looked a little nostalgic, her face was full of excitement, after all, this was her grandson, her son's child, her son was twenty-six years old, and he was already married and childbearing late. But suddenly she remembered Chu Yun, she didn't know what Chu Yun would think, whether she would be dissatisfied with her son because of this, which would affect her son's position in Chu Yun's heart, if Chu Yun was dissatisfied with her son because of this, what should she do? The smile on Cui Ning's face quickly condensed, which made Cui Cheng and Wen Huailei feel worried.
She will never forget the eyes that Chu Yun looked at her after killing her own brother Cui Zhen, there was no attachment at all, only cold killing intent. She knew that she was sorry for Chu Yun, although it was not out of her own will, but betrayal was betrayal, she didn't ask Chu Yun for forgiveness, and she never had the idea of renewing her relationship with Chu Yun, she was not worthy.
The only thing she can do is to raise her son well, in fact, she pinned all her guilt for Chu Yun on her son, as long as she takes care of her son wholeheartedly, it is to repay her husband, this is the most simple idea in her heart. But now that her son is engaged and has a child without Chu Yun's consent, what will Chu Yun think? Will she be disappointed, or even give up her son? She didn't dare to think about it, and her eyes when she looked at Wen Huailei again already had a trace of madness and determination.
"Confess, kill this woman. Cui Ning's eyes were full of madness, she was weak, and her heart was also very soft, no one who knew her did not say that Cui Ning was good. However, when it comes to his son, Cui Ning has never been so hard-hearted.
