Summoning the world to be one

Chapter 148 Murong Enters Beijing
1Chapter 17: Murong enters Beijing
Now that the conditions were negotiated, Cui Hao and Su Hong reported the result to Deng Sheng. Deng Sheng was also very satisfied with the result. It was a little more than expected, and the autumn harvest was coming soon. In addition, the 500 Wanshi's food is enough for Deng Guo to last for a year or two. Wei Guo is anxious to redeem [-] captives, and Deng Guo is also anxious. Deng Guo's grain is already tight, and now there are [-] more mouths. To add insult to injury.

The rise of Deng Guo was too fast, and the background was not strong, which made it weak in the future. Therefore, Deng Sheng decided to rest for a period of time after defeating the Han State, and no longer easily mobilize troops.

The Deng country that Deng Sheng just took over has only two counties, Nanyang and Shangyong. Not to mention Shangyong, it is good to be basically self-sufficient. Deng’s main source of money and food comes from Nanyang. Although Nanyang has a lot of fertile land, it also has a large population. , So Deng Guo has always lived well. If it wasn't for Deng Sheng's accession to the throne, the method of improving farm tools obtained through the system would have increased Deng's arable land. It is impossible for Deng Guo to be able to support so many wars when a major grain-producing country is smuggled in.

As for Jiangxia, Nanjun, and Yingchuan, Nanjun is fine. Thanks to the Jiangling Rebellion, the Jing royal family cleaned up the aristocratic families in Jiangling City, so that all the land that was originally in the hands of the aristocratic families fell into the hands of Deng Sheng. However, Jiangxia and Yingchuan are different. The aristocratic families in the two counties are still very powerful. Since it is a newly merged place, it is not easy for Deng Sheng to deal with the aristocratic families immediately. The middle and lower level officials of the country had to use a large number of children from the family.

Although Deng Sheng has exchanged papermaking and printing technology from the system one after another, the cost of reading for the common people is too high, and there are not so many teachers. As for Deng Sheng's comprehensive popularization of education, this is even more nonsense. Now it is not a unified dynasty. All countries wish to invest all their money and food in the army to fight for world hegemony, so what Deng Sheng can do now is to make a secret layout and spread it out in an all-round way. It is estimated that Deng will have to rule the world, or Deng will gain an absolute advantage in unification just work.

After agreeing on the conditions, Ma Rong immediately left Wancheng and returned to Puyang, and Deng Sheng, the [-] Wei army captive, was also escorted to Yingchuan and handed over to Xue Rengui for temporary custody.

Outside Wancheng, a group of chariots and horses are slowly driving towards Wancheng. In front of them, there is a big flag with the words "Shangyong Murong's" written on it. This is the motorcade of Murong's family. After leaving Fangling City, they passed After more than ten days, Murong Hao and his four sons finally came to Wancheng.

"Father, we have arrived in Wancheng, but our Murong family doesn't have any property in Wancheng. Where do so many people live?" Murong Jun who was riding a horse asked Murong Hao who was sitting in the carriage.

Murong's family has always lived in Shangyong, and in order not to attract people's fear, the power has never dared to go out of Shangyong, so there is no industry in other places, and now they suddenly come to Wancheng, more than 100 people, where to live really is a problem.

Murong Hao in the carriage said: "How about this, you and I, father and son, will go to the posthouse of the Ministry of Rites to stay first, and as for the other families, just find a few inns in Wancheng to stay, and everything will be fine when we meet the king After that, make arrangements."

"Here!" Murong Jun replied.

When the Murong family entered Wancheng, it caused a lot of commotion. The Murong family has kept a low profile for so many years, so among the people, not many people know them, and they all wonder how sacred this Murong family is.

But people in the system, especially the main figures in the court and the army, have basically heard of the Murong family. The Murong family came to Wancheng, and the happiest people were the aristocratic families. A few years ago, Deng Sheng beat him hard , A big cleansing was carried out on the aristocratic families, so that the big aristocratic families did not dare to take the lead. Now that the Murong family has entered Wancheng, it may be a signal sent by Deng Sheng to the aristocratic family. Although the Murong family is the general, it is not strictly speaking. However, the major families regard the Murong family as their own.

And some newly promoted nobles and generals in the army are a little worried. The Murong family is a veteran general, who knows if they can mix with themselves.

Among them, the most affected one was the Li family of Li Tianhu, the general of Hussars and Bolinghou (later named) Li Tianhu. Now the Li family has produced a large number of talents, and it has faintly become the number one general in the country of Deng. Deng Sheng gave birth to a prince, which made the Li family in the limelight for a while. Now that the new general meets the old general, what kind of impact will it bring?

In Bolinghou's Mansion, Li Dingguo found Li Tianhu who was no longer the director, and said, "Uncle, now that Murong's family comes to Wancheng, it might affect our Li family."

Li Tianhu sat in the main seat, Li Siye and Li Cunxiao sat on both sides, hearing Li Dingguo's worries, Li Tianhu smiled and said: "What effect can it have, my Li family and his Murong family have always been in the same place."

"Uncle, you can't say that. Over the years, our Li family has faintly become the number one general of Deng Deng. Even the Yue family of the great general Cheqi may not be able to match, but now that the Murong family is here, it is very difficult for our Li family. The status of the family will definitely pose a threat." Li Dingguo worried.

Hearing such words, Li Tianhu's face instantly became serious, and he reprimanded Li Dingguo: "Dingguo, you have passed, what is the gatekeeper or not, you have to remember, everything in our Li family is given by the king, as long as the king Trust our Li family, this false name is the same for us as long as we are loyal to the king and Deng, let alone the Murong family, even if there are more, they will not threaten the status of our Li family."

"Uncle, Dingguo knew it was wrong." Li Dingguo lost his father since he was a child, and was brought up by Li Tianhu, so he was full of awe for Li Tianhu, facing Li Tianhu's reprimand, Li Dingguo said in a cold sweat.

In recent years, the status of the Li family has been rising day by day. The eldest son of Li, Li Xiucheng, sits in Xixian County and has become a local general. Deng Guo's number one warrior, the eldest daughter Li Shishi became Deng Sheng's favorite concubine. All of this made Li Dingguo drift, completely forgetting how it all came about.

Seeing that Li Dingguo made a mistake, Li Tianhu said in a harmonious voice: "I know, our Li family has been too smooth these years, which has given you the illusion that you are still young, so I won't blame you, but the more this is the case, the more cautious we must be. As for the Murong family, the king has not yet made a conclusion, so we don't need to worry too much."

"Yes, father (uncle)!" Several people responded.

In the Wancheng Post House, Murong and his son cleaned up for a long time, and finally settled down.

"Father, just now the Ministry of Rites sent someone to deliver a message that the king will summon us tomorrow." Murong Jun said.

Murong Hao nodded, and then said to Murong Ke: "Ke'er, since my father asked you to investigate the news of Chaozhong Xungui, can you investigate?"

After entering Wancheng, Murong Hao sent Murong Ke to investigate all the forces inside and outside the Deng Guochao Hall, especially the honorable generals who have risen since Deng Sheng ascended the throne.

Murong Ke nodded, and said: "Go back to father, the child has been investigated." It has to be said that Murong Ke's ability is really leveraged, and he investigated all the forces in just half a day.

"The officials in the court are mainly Cui Hao, the order of the Minister, Jiang Wan, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and Su Hong, the Minister of the Ministry of War. As for Deng Yong, the Minister of the Ministry of War, he has basically retreated to the second line now, but there is still one person who needs special attention, and that is the official. Minister Zhang Bin, it is rumored that the next Zhongshu Ling will belong to him, and the old prime minister Cai Feng is completely ignoring the matter now, but the queen of the dynasty is the daughter of Cai Xiang, and there are countless former officials of Cai Xiang's disciples, so her influence is not tolerated Look down." Murong Ke introduced.

After introducing the civil service system, Murong Ke introduced the forces in the general: "In the army, it is mainly divided into four hills. The first one is Yue Fei, the chariot and cavalry general of the dynasty. He is currently the No.1 general of the Great Deng. The second is the Li family known as the number one general of the Great Deng. Its head is Li Tianhu, the Hussar general of the dynasty, and the remaining two are Chang Yuchun, who lives in Nanjun, and Yang Yanzhao, who lives in Jiangxia. These two are ministers of the king's hidden residence , sits in the place all the year round, and is deeply trusted by the king. In addition to these four mountains, there are also clan generals, mainly Yulin General Deng Ai and Cheqi General Deng Qiang, but the power is not great, but as Clan members, if you think about it, your Majesty trusts you very much."

Murong Hao nodded. Murong's family had just entered Wancheng, and they still needed to be cautious. These honorable generals made friends as long as they could make friends.

Murong Hao said: "How about this, after you meet the king tomorrow, you will follow your father to visit Grand Tutor Huangfu Song, General Huang Biao, General Li Tianhu of Hussars, and General Yue Fei of Chariots."

"Here!" The four Murong brothers responded.
