It was late February, and it was raining outside the imperial tomb.
Director Wang looked solemn and looked at Jianping Mausoleum, which was covered with moss, and remained silent.
The Emperor Dapuyuan (Sima Rui) and the Empress were buried here. It started construction many years ago because the court was short of money, it was not brilliant at all, nor at all, but it was not bad.
Wang Yue held the trunk in front of the tomb with his hand and couldn't help but cough. As he coughed, a hint of redness oozed out between his fingers.
Director Wang came back to his senses and looked at his son, his expression turned sad again.
This is not the first time Wang Yue has coughed up blood. In recent years, his health has been getting worse and he has no medical treatment.
Just a few days ago, Director Wang even dreamed that a god had entered the house and said in front of him that Wang Yue would be ready for a while. Director Wang woke up at that time and recalled the situation in his dream, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
No matter how powerful he is, he is also a father. How can he stand it when he sees the grown-up child leaving before him? Especially this child is very satisfied and very sensible.
"Grandma." Wang Yue quietly wiped the corner of his mouth, hid the silk squid, and said with a reluctant smile: "Why don't you call more people here today?"
"For my father, I don't want to use these means to make people surrender." Director Wang shook his head and said.
This is not a big deal.
In recent years, all the things he wanted to implement in the court have been accomplished. Some have great resistance, and they cleverly use the current situation or simply make private transactions with others, and finally they have been completed, such as "land inspection of households".
thing.
The four things of land cut off, household inspection, recruitment and raising grain are actually one.
Even during the Jingxiang War, the land cuts have not stopped. Over the years, more than 55,000 households have been registered, including many local people in Jiangnan who live in Qiao County.
With these 50,000 or 60,000 households, the court has made much more affordable, and even recruiting troops has become convenient.
You can directly collect training. If these people are in the hands of the rich, it is inconvenient for you to do anything, and the training can only be done by themselves. The quality will be uneven. Some are still able to fight, while others will be in a mess.
Of course, the Jiangdong tycoons have been quite obedient in recent years, and they may have felt the crisis. Not only did they pay money to help the imperial court build Taicheng, Xianyang, but the second palace of Huiyin was under construction, and they also took the initiative to send troops and grain.
Go out of the boat and help the court resist foreign aggression.
At the end of last year, more than 5,000 soldiers from Gu, Qian and Zhang's family followed Liu Kun to the north and stationed in the Huai River.
There were also Zhu, He and Zhou soldiers and 7,000 soldiers and horses to Chengzhao in Hefei, Liyang and Lujiang.
Just this month, more than 10,000 troops from Yu, Kong, Xu, Lu and other tribes went west to Wuchang to build a strong Jingzhou defense line.
These soldiers and horses do not need to be borne by the court. They transport their own supplies and equipment, take the initiative to undertake defense, and their fighting will is stronger than the imperial guards.
To be honest, Director Wang felt that they were much more reliable than the scholars in the South. At least he had a very firm attitude towards defending his country, not like some people.
However, Wang Dao also knew that he was a gentry from the south after all.
He can cooperate with Jiangdong tyrants and even take the initiative to give some benefits. For example, there are now half of Wu people in the court, but most of them are middle and lower-level officials. Director Wang can give more middle and upper-level positions appropriately, but there must be a certain degree.
If you only buy blindly, you will make the Wu people more aggressive, and the Nandu people will be dissatisfied. This scale is still difficult to grasp.
However, if the situation is like this, what is simple?
"Changyu, you can rest well at home these days." Director Wang walked to his son and said softly, "Stay with your mother more. Don't think too much, don't worry too much, just rest."
Wang Yue smiled freely and said, "Life and death are destined to be born. If you can do more for your father and continue your family business and even your country's fortune, isn't it better than spending most of your life in a confused way?"
Director Wang showed sad expression on his face. He could not imagine how sad his wife would be on the day his son died of illness.
Seeing his father like this, Wang Yue sighed a little and said, "Grandma, I know, I will rest after I go back, but one by one."
Speaking of this, he tightened his clothes and said, "Now, this great dynasty is just like a child's body. How many years can it last for resting? Maybe one day it will turn around. But if it is too hard,
Alas, Zhuge Daoming should not move for the time being. Some people in the court were even more nervous to defend against the Wang family of Langya than against the Liang people. If the grandfather joined forces with the Queen of Shan, some people would probably not be able to sit still, which would be unfavorable to the major events that my father wanted to carry out."
Director Wang sighed and shook his head without saying a word.
As my son said, some people were more ruthless in guarding against the Wang family of Langya.
He knew Zhuge Daoming for a long time. Maybe he had some thoughts, but he would not surrender voluntarily. This was not determined by anything else. But after years of observation, he had already understood Zhuge Daoming's character. That is, he would stay.
He would make money for his family, but he was also deeply grateful to the late emperor and was not a person with a heartless heart, so he would do his best to defend Wuchang unless the situation was indeed over.
Such a person is actually very good. Who doesn’t have any thoughts now?
Shiru (Wang Bin) was in Fengkou and commanded tens of thousands of troops in Jiangzhou. What was he doing? He used the navy's ships to trade.
But it is not right for you to say he wants to surrender.
When the bandit general Zhang Shuo went south to attack Hefei, Shiru did his best to dispatch troops and generals. When the military capital was insufficient, he even subsidized some of them himself.
He loves money and is considering his family business, but he has no intention of surrendering.
Loyalty to the court and greed for wealth are not contradictory.
Seeing that his father was silent, Wang Yue thought he would not agree, and was a little anxious, and said, "The court can surrender Zhuge Daoming's official position, but do not take away the actual power. If you change someone, do you know what he is thinking? If you let go of Jiang Fang,
If the Liang army moves south in large numbers, everything will be over. Zhuge Daoming will not be like this after all."
In these days, for various reasons, the generals who left the town must be granted full power to avoid being elbowed and causing major disasters. Once they are given full power, they are prone to rebellion. Therefore, it is very important to select people, and the consequences of improper employment are also unbearable.
Wang Yue felt that it would be better not to touch Zhuge Daoming when there was no suitable candidate, because he had no intention of rebelling.
Just stick to it like this and do not lose the situation in Eastern Wu.
As for what to do in the future? To be honest, Dapu has no initiative, they can only wait for the extremely vague and extravagant hopes. In fact, in Wang Yue's opinion, even if the north is in chaos one day, they will attack and kill each other and eliminate them.
The crisis of the Jin Dynasty may not necessarily recover Henan, which is marked by Luoyang, or even if it is recovered, it will not be able to defend it for a long time.
That's it for this court.
The father and son quickly rode a ox cart and returned home.
There are still many guests outside the palace, as if they are prosperous. However, I don’t know what thoughts are hidden in these people’s hearts.
*******
The fall of the three counties in Badong and the Liangcheng battle ended up like a stone thrown into the lake, splashing a circle of ripples, and soon disappeared intovisible.
This is Jianyou, this is the Great Prefecture Dynasty, which makes people suspect that this court is not only peaceful and self-reliant,
Can you do other things?
The entire Jianyou period may be more than ten people including Wang and others are still trying hard to make up for it.
In late February, all the news was quickly passed to Luoyang. After Shao Xun read it, he did not express too much.
The reaction of the common people was as expected.
Dongpu is now a disabled government, with a confusion in mind, slow reaction, and muscle atrophy. Unless a fierce man comes from the sky and gives him an excellent chance to stand out, it will be difficult to save. One by one, if it really happens.
For a fierce man who has eliminated all kinds of problems, he probably cooked first.
"What did you say to your niece? She reacted so violently? Did she stimulate her?" Shao Xun asked in Hualin Garden.
Yang Xianrong narrowed her eyes, leaned against Shao Xun's arms, basking in the sun comfortably, and said casually: "I can't remember it."
In addition to the letter, he also sent a fox fur to Shan Yinan, which she could use when she came to the north."
Shao Xun was stunned. Isn’t this a naked slap in the face? Was it gone?
"Shan Yinan is your niece." Shao Xun shook the sheep and offered her face and said.
"So what?" Yang Xianrong said disapprovingly: "I still remember asking her in the letter, "The 'mill puppets' in the ancestral temple may protect you?"
Shao Xun was speechless and said after a moment, "Are you the Empress of the Great Jin Dynasty? I was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was
Yang Xianrong gave him a blank look and said disdainfully: "Didn't you always say that the aristocratic families only have private plans? Isn't it normal for me to consider myself? I am now a Shao family wife."
"I owe you this life." Shao Xun whispered: "I will marry you in the next life and you will be my wife."
"Go to Zhaoyang Palace at noon, and you said in front of Yu Wenjun." Yang Xianrong sneered.
Shao Xun Shanshan smiled and began to change the topic, saying, "Yang Pengzu has led 3,000 Yinmi troops to Wudu. "Why are you going from Puguo to Chengguo again?" Yang Xianrong touched Shao Xun's face
, chuckled, "It seems that my niece can be free for several years. But it's hard to say. If you ask me to send someone to Hefei New City to trade, maybe someone will be won over. Shi family or Chen family?"
"In Jianyou, the Shi family is the Chen family." Buxun said, "Dangyi Prefect Chen Yan threw the pole over. Can I still push people out?"
Yang Xianrong felt a little ridiculous when she heard it.
He fought with Li Cheng in Badong and defeated the Shu army. As a result, Chengguo was not doing well yet, and Puguo became shaking.
But their luck is good.
As mentioned just now, Yang volunteered to enter Wudu, and he brought the Yinmi troops he trained, mainly the Xiongnu and Qiang.
Obviously, this is going to attack Li Cheng.
We attacked Hanzhong and Brazil, and the two north and south sides advanced together to attack and destroy Chengguo. We have not completed the war preparations now, otherwise we can start it.
"Your Majesty—" The voice of the Zhongchang Shi Hou San sounded from afar.
"What's the matter?" Shao Xun let go of Yang Xianrong and asked.
"The King of Qi requested to enter the pilgrimage."
Shao Xun thought about it and probably knew what the Golden Knife came for. He immediately became interested and said, "
Let him come here directly.”
Yang Xianrong stood up and left, and glanced at Shao Xun.
Shao Xun nodded, then walked around the garden with his hands on his back.
