Zhi Xuan

The king's decree was delivered to Zhongdu City, and when Marquis Yong saw him, his face paled instantly.In the conversation with the envoy, knowing that the land was distributed to Wang Zihuai, that Wang Ziliang and Wang Zichuan's schemes had all failed, and that Wang Zichuan was displeased, he couldn't help but feel a little happy.

After sending the people away, Marquis Yong locked himself in the room, and he didn't see anyone, and all the clans of the Yong Kingdom who asked to see him also blocked the door.

It was difficult for him to sort out his mood at the moment.

Losing half of the country made him ashamed of his ancestors, and he was relieved to retain the throne.

Zhao Hao fulfilled his promise, and the soil offering did not fall into the hands of the two princes.But from the results, it can be seen that Zhao Hao is not so much helping himself, but using his memorials to eliminate hidden dangers and eliminate the signs of Wang Zichuan and Wang Ziliang intervening in the northern border.

Whether it was a loss or a gain, Yonghou couldn't say for sure.

People are swords and I are fish and meat. He is in the northern capital city, and he has to rely on the protection of the Marquis of Bei'an, so it doesn't make any sense to worry about it.What's more, with his current situation, it is impossible to care about it.For the sake of the future, those who know the current affairs are still heroes, follow the path given by Gongzi Hao, and it is likely that they will end well.

He cooperated honestly before, and the monarch's position was preserved.If he wanted to return to China, the only ones he could count on were Bei'anhou and Gong Zihao.

Zhongducheng could not rely on him, and the attitude of the king made his teeth cold.

After decades of ignorance, after being kicked out of the capital, Yonghou suddenly woke up, his mind was turning faster than ever.

I don't know whether to say luck or misfortune.

Confused when it should be sober, but extraordinarily sober when it should be paralyzed.

Yonghou supported his head and smiled wryly again and again, with tears flowing out of his laughter.Tears slipped into the corners of his mouth, unusually bitter, just like his mood at the moment.

No matter how bitter the taste is, you can only swallow it by yourself.

Yonghou pressed the corners of his eyes, suppressed tears, and made a decision in his heart: Since he is attached, he will simply attach to the end.

He has nothing now, if he can't see the situation clearly and plan a way out, even if half of the country is left, it won't be long before there is nothing left.

After thinking it over, Marquis Yong no longer closed the door, and summoned the clans waiting outside the door together.

"Borrow soldiers from Bei'an Kingdom to send us back to the country. Half of the state treasury's grain depot will be donated to Bei'an Kingdom. I have good seeds in my private treasury, and I will send them along."

Yonghou showed unprecedented boldness, and before the clans could open their mouths, he spoke out his arrangement in one go.

"Half?" The clans were taken aback.

"If it wasn't for Gongzi Hao, neither money nor food could be kept." At this time, Yonghou was extremely sober, sober beyond imagination.

The clans looked at each other, and most of them understood the hints in the words.

The state treasury and grain depots have not been looted, and their own warehouses are safe and sound. It may not be possible to achieve this level only by the moral restraint of the Chinese people.

In the final analysis, it was Gong Zihao who accepted his surrender and gave hope to the people of Yongguo.

Under Zhixuan's proposal, the Yong people who moved away can all get the land and don't have to worry about houses. Compared with the Zhao people, going to the grassland has more benefits in terms of taxes.The combination of various measures relieved everyone's worries, which made everyone cautious in their words and deeds, and did not want to leave a bad name due to looting, so that they would be rejected by the subjects in the relocation area.

With the mass migration of Yongguo people, the capital became empty, and the population of the fiefdom also decreased a lot.In the eyes of outsiders, this is a great loss. For the Yonghou and clan who want to return to the country, they don't need to face the people who participated in the riots. Instead, they can breathe a sigh of relief and feel safer.

After thinking through the above two points, the clans, like Yonghou, feel unspeakable.Ups and downs come together, so complicated that it is difficult to distinguish emotions.

After a brief silence, everyone seriously considered Yonghou's words and found that there was no better way.

They fled the capital in embarrassment and have severed contact with the fief.Without an army or much wealth around him, it is undoubtedly a fantasy to want to return to the country on his own without relying on Bei'an.

If you want to ask someone for help, you will naturally have to pay a price.

Monarchs are willing to contribute their private treasury, so they can't be stingy either.

Seriously speaking, they fled in panic, giving up their property in the capital.It was a pleasant surprise that it was not looted.It is only natural to give some of it as thanks.

"You can't act recklessly, you need to discuss it face-to-face with the Marquis of Bei'an."

Yonghou and the clan discussed together and made a plan to borrow troops from Bei'an.If feasible, they would also like to ask troops to be stationed in the city to avoid further incidents.

The memorandum handed over by Yonghou has caused successive consequences, and Wang Ziliang and Wang Zichuan are bound to remember it in their hearts.They didn't get any benefit from this matter, and they were reprimanded by the King of People. They couldn't fight against their own father, and they couldn't do anything about Bei'an. They wanted to let out a sigh of relief, and Yonghou was the best target.

Pick up the persimmon softly.

The Yongguo clan acted absurdly and extravagantly, and they were not stupid to the end.

Thinking clearly about the troubles that might arise after returning to the country, everyone unanimously decided to do everything possible to invite Bei'an to garrison troops.As for the face of the monarch and the clan, their lives can't be saved, so what's the point of raising face!

Yonghou changed his old style and suddenly became a man of action.The clans also seemed to be enlightened and took action one after another.

Soon, the matter of Yonghou borrowing troops and requesting to garrison troops was put on the court, which aroused discussions among the officials.

"What do you think?" The Marquis of Bei'an asked the Qing doctors for their opinions.

"Your Majesty, I think it's okay to borrow troops, but you need to think twice about stationing troops." A senior doctor said.

As soon as the words fell, someone immediately raised a different opinion: "Yonghou is so sincere, I really shouldn't refuse."

"That's wrong." Those who thought it was impossible to garrison troops frowned.

"What's the difference?" Those who held objections stared.

The former believes that the garrison violates the rules, neither is the country's land nor the land seized in the war, and there is no reason to garrison the army.The latter didn't take it seriously. It's really unnecessary for Yonghou to have a clear attitude about what you love and what I want, but he is looking forward and backward.

The two sides were at odds, Bei'an Hou looked at Shi Zizhen, Shi Zizhen spread his hands, expressing that he had nothing to do, and simply turned to look at Gong Zihao.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Hao was distracted, unaffected by the sound in the hall.

"Cough!" Shi Ziyuan coughed, and if it wasn't for the distance, he would have stabbed his brother with his elbow.The hall was full of quarrels, and my brother can still lose his mind, it's amazing!

After coughing twice, Zhao Hao finally came back to his senses, frowned and looked over, and saw Shi Zixuan pursed his lips, first beckoning to Marquis Bei'an, and then pointing to the officials in the hall.

Zhao Hao frowned.

In his view, it is extremely simple, so there is no need for such arguing.

After getting along with Zhixuan for a while, Zhao Hao got used to doing things quickly and neatly, and could break the rules with a single word, and when he looked at the officials of Bei'an Kingdom, he suddenly felt a little bit dissatisfied.

After staying with smart people for a long time, he suddenly fell into the group of reckless people, and the people he worked with changed from brains to muscles. He didn't feel it before, but now it really upsets him.

The crowd couldn't stop arguing, Bei'an Hou got a headache from the quarrel and had to stop on the spot, looked at Zhao Hao, and asked, "What do you think?"

Zhao Hao got up and went out, bowed his hands to the Marquis of Bei'an first, and said, "Your Majesty, I have a few questions and I would like to ask you gentlemen."

"Yun." Hou Bei'an said.

Zhao Hao cupped his hands again, looked at the ministers who opposed the garrison, and said, "The gentlemen don't want to garrison, because they are afraid of Zhongdu City?"

This statement was shocking and straightforward beyond imagination.Not only the officials were shocked, but Bei'an Hou and Shi Ziyuan twitched the corners of their mouths together.

Turning back from the shock, the Qing doctors looked at each other and gave answers one after another: They did have concerns about Zhongducheng, but it was not the main reason.The point is that there is no precedent for this matter, and if you don't know how to handle it, it is likely to violate the clan rules.

Under the special political framework, the big vassal states can contradict the king, or even disobey the king's order.But when it comes to the clan as a group, everyone should think carefully.

After listening to the explanations of the clans, Zhao Hao nodded and said, "Don't worry, gentlemen, it won't take long for anyone to pay attention to Yongguo." No one pays attention to Yongguo, so naturally they won't care whether Bei'an is stationed or not. and how long to stay.

Doctors Qing looked at each other, not understanding why Zhao Hao was so sure.

"The battle will begin." Zhao Hao said three words without further explanation.

There was a moment of silence in the hall, and everyone remembered the news from Xiyuan Kingdom, and couldn't help but look awe-inspiring.

As Gong Zihao pointed out, when the Xiyuan Kingdom launched a national war, the target was still another major vassal state. Indeed, no one would pay attention to the Yong Kingdom any more, and all eyes of the world would be on the battlefield.

But everyone felt that the timing was wrong.

The national wars of the vassal states generally avoid autumn in order to ensure food production.If the Xiyuan Kingdom sends troops at this time, will the domestic food still be grown?Aren't you afraid of causing public grievances by delaying the harvest for a year?

Everyone was puzzled and looked at Gongzi Hao one after another.The latter did not speak again, letting everyone guess.When the national war starts, they will understand that Zhi Xuan cannot be measured and guessed by common sense, otherwise they will definitely suffer a big loss.

The Dongliang Kingdom will not ignore the news that the Bei'an Kingdom clan can get.

The Marquis of Dongliang knew that Xiyuan Kingdom was preparing for war without specifically inquiring.There was so much commotion, and the clan troops gathered outside the city of Xidu, it was hard to know.

He thought the same as the Bei'an Guo clan, Zhixuan's move was probably a bluff, and he might not really send troops immediately.

Food and population are the foundation of a vassal state. To start a war in the autumn, or to devote all the power of the whole country, is simply crazy!

"Who said you can't go to war in autumn?"

Compared with others who are limited by their vision, Xiyuan Kingdom has no burden at all.

Long before the spring plowing, Zhi Xuan started to solve related problems.The clans worked together, and under a series of actions, even if more than half of the young and middle-aged people in the country were pulled out, the grain harvest would not be affected.

The new agricultural tools are simple, light, easy to use, and can be operated by the elderly and children.

The use of a large number of cattle and horses further liberated the labor force.

The slaves brought back from the grasslands could not do delicate work, and there was no problem in doing hard work.The most critical problem of escape was easily solved after the monarch brushed his face.

Things that cause headaches for other vassal states will never happen in Xiyuan Kingdom.Even if there were, they were nipped in the bud.

With Zhixuan's order, tens of thousands of troops gathered outside the western capital.The vanguard has already set off, ready to join the new army and head to the border together.

Food and medicines have been in place one after another, enough to supply [-] troops.

In order to enhance combat effectiveness, Zhixuan specially provided horses, weapons and leather armor for the small clan.Things will not be given in vain, and the other party will not take in vain.For the small clan, the price of the transaction is a bit painful, but compared with the military exploits and spoils, it is insignificant.

The Xiyuan Kingdom mobilized the army with great fanfare, which naturally attracted the attention of all parties.

Except for Zhao Hao and the Bei'an clan who had heard the news in advance, no one thought that Zhi Xuan would really send troops in the autumn.Most people think the same as Dong Lianghou, thinking that he is using this to exert pressure and deter Dong Liang.

However, things were unexpected.

When the first autumn wind blew and the millet and wheat in the fields were covered with golden color, Marquis Xiyuan suddenly wrote a letter to the capital, denouncing the shameless behavior of Dongliang Kingdom.

At the same time, the call to action written by Fan Xu himself and polished by Luan Hui was widely spread all over the world.

The proclamation is not long, but the words are like knives. Counting the grievances and grievances between the two countries, pointing at Dongliang's hatred of seizing the city, exposing Dongliang's methods, as a majestic big country, they dare not confront each other head-on. Send someone to assassinate the monarch of Xiyuan Kingdom.

"The former monarch was seriously injured when he was assassinated, and now he has been assassinated many times. His behavior is unbearable, and the world casts aside!"

The assassination of Zhixuan was indeed done by the Dongliang Kingdom, and the behind-the-scenes instigation is currently in the Western capital.

What happened to Yuan Cheng's assassination, Su Hu and others are well aware of it.But it doesn't prevent it from being written in the call to action, and it will be a big pot for Dongliang.

False and true, false and true, what happened many years ago, the parties involved have passed away, and they can't be found out even if they want to check, so naturally there is no way to refute it.

The Dongliang Kingdom seized the five cities by force, and Yuan had remembered it all his life. Before he died, he still told Zhixuan to let him remember this matter, so that the shame must be washed away.From this point of view, it is not too wronged for Dongliang to take the blame.

After the proclamation was issued, the eldest son of Dongliang Kingdom appeared to speak out, confirming that every sentence in the proclamation was true.

The Marquis of Dongliang was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, and scolded Xiyuan for being despicable.

There was no turning back the appeal, and the opponent's army was marching to the border, so it was useless for him to swear for days and nights.The only thing that can be done is to fight in accordance with the rules between countries and immediately increase troops to the border cities.

"Arrogant Lizi, since you are going to die, I will fulfill you!"

The Marquis of Dongliang was furious, he drew out his sword and slashed it down, the table case which was two fingers thick split open and split in two on the spot.
