"Since your Majesty has already made a plan in his mind, I won't say much more, but perhaps I can do a good job for King Qi regarding the communication with Marquis Guangyuan."

you?

King Qi raised his eyebrows, but there was a smile on his face.

"This matter does not concern King Changshan, but if those sect kings have communication with you, it would be nice if they could share the list with me."

Changshan King Sima Yi's eyes flashed, and finally he nodded slightly.

"promise."

After speaking, Changshan King Sima Yi slowly retreated.

King Sima Ji of Qi looked at the back of King Sima Yi of Changshan and snorted coldly. His eyes narrowed and his eyes became very dangerous.

"This King of Changshan is quite cunning, but now that he has military power, it's hard for him to take action easily..."

King Changshan naturally understands King Qi's thoughts.

Of course, I just know a little bit.

....

The winter snow is disturbing.

This year's snow is much lighter than last year's.

There is little snow, but the weather is very cold.

Tomorrow's millet and wheat may not grow well, and many people who have been devastated by war may not be able to survive this winter.

"If the snow is thick, let the patrol officers search and patrol the boundaries of Xingyang. If you find anyone who can't survive the winter, bring them to the city. Of course... as long as they are young and strong, or young people."

Although Wang Sheng has some compassion in his heart, there are times when this compassion cannot overflow.

Not to mention the people of the world, just certain people in Xingyang, he cannot afford to greet them.

Besides...

These refugees who were born from the war knew that Marquis Guangyuan was helping refugees in Xingyang. I am afraid that refugees from Yuzhou will come over...

By that time, no matter how much food and grass Wang Sheng has at his disposal, it may not be enough.

"My lord's move can be called a saint's move, and the people will definitely be grateful."

Wang Sheng shook his head gently.

"I don't want them to be grateful, as long as they don't resent me."

The so-called prosperity of the people is suffering, and the destruction of the people is suffering.

The war between the emperor and the king of Qi was, in the final analysis, a struggle for power.

This is a battle of orthodoxy, a battle of life and death.

However...

The sufferings are all suffered by the common people.

No matter whether the emperor wins or the King of Qi wins.

The loser only dies.

But the people in this world want to eat chaffy vegetables and change their sons to eat.

The world is like this. With Wang Sheng's current energy, if he wants to change it, he doesn't have the ability.

Only when he has the ability to change the world will he change it.

After all, although Wang Sheng wants to help more people, he is still a human being.

If you don't even solve your own survival problem and then want to help others, this is not Wang Sheng's style.

Wang Sheng probably has not yet reached the level of a saint.

"The people are in poverty. After King Qi, there will be Li Xiong. After Li Xiong, there will probably be King Hejian. After King Hejian, with your majesty's current temperament, you may still be an enemy of the grassland. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has great talents but few achievements.

No one can compare, but... all the savings accumulated since Wenjing were wiped out by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Today's world does not have the foundation accumulated during Wenjing's rule. If Your Majesty wants to learn from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, I'm afraid

The whole world will not be able to bear it."

actually...

The world can no longer bear it.

Especially Yuzhou, Sili and other places.

When war breaks out, civilians need to be recruited and taxes need to be levied.

The higher-ups may have levied an additional 100 yen, but when the order reached the lower levels, an additional 1,000 yen was levied. After layers of exploitation, the 1,000 yen finally reached the hands of the emperor and turned into 100 yen.

And after this hundred yuan was exploited layer by layer, when it reached the army, there might only be fifty yuan left, or even less.

And when there was a lack of money and food, the emperor had to impose taxes again.

One tax after another, the people had no money to pay, so they had to pawn off their fields, their ancestral homes, and some even sold their wives, daughters, and even themselves to the landlords.

This is how land annexation came about.

The war accelerated this process.

After Qi Wannian defeated Wei Jun, Wei Jun defeated Qi Wang.

But the King of Qi fought for a whole year and still didn't win.

All the costs involved are borne by the people of the world.

"No matter what, just do your own thing well."

Zhang Bin looked at Wang Sheng and nodded lightly.

But he also understood it very well.

My lord probably not only did his own thing well, he also did other things, many other things.

.......

Winter is extremely cold, and there was never much to do in winter in ancient times.

The emperor issued an edict to recall Wang Sheng to Luoyang, but did not mention the change of commander. Instead, he rewarded Marquis Guangyuan heavily and sealed everyone around him.

For a time, the reputation of Marquis Guangyuan was unparalleled.

After that, Marquis Guangyuan stayed in Luoyang for a few days and then hurried back to the commander's mansion in Xingyang.

certainly...

This time when he came to the Xingyang Commandery, he was not alone.

Hongxiu was brought over by him, and she was responsible for taking care of his food and daily life.

As for whether there are other deeper meanings.

Of course there is.

Princess Guangping was pregnant, and even Mrs. Zhang was pregnant with Wang Sheng's blood, but there was still no movement in Hongxiu's belly.

As someone close to Wang Sheng, Wang Sheng naturally has to take more care of him.

After all, in this era, mother is still more valuable than son.

When Wang Sheng was alive, he might be able to protect her, but if he died in front of Hongxiu, someone would need to protect her.

And the heirs are undoubtedly the best.

in addition...

Wang Sheng really needs to have more sons.

He now has cronies under his command, but there are very few cronies like his son.

In troubled times, talent is the most important.

What he is giving birth to now is not a son, but a helper for the future.

In this era, people with status and status have many wives and concubines. On the one hand, it is indeed for enjoyment. On the other hand, it is also necessary to have many heirs to inherit such a large family property.

Wang Sheng paid for himself and the family fortune he left behind in the future was not small.

Therefore, this heir must be carefully arranged.

My days in Xingyang...

Then it started to get boring.

The secret chess he laid on the side of King Qi will take effect slowly, or in other words, it will not take effect until the beginning of the next spring.

But the attack cannot be done in winter.

He doesn't want to move around much now.

I just go to the barracks occasionally to see how the soldiers are training.

Ever since Wang Sheng wiped out the Huns in Bingzhou, his assassins have been coming one after another.

If it weren't for the tight guards around Wang Sheng, I'm afraid he would have lost several lives.

As for what he said to the emperor when he returned to Luoyang this time.

The ministers don’t know, let alone the people in the world.

Perhaps the only two people who knew about this were Wang Sheng and the Emperor.

certainly...

Maybe a big internal official would be added, but that would be it.

The emperor called him over and said only one thing.

Kill the King of Qi.

in addition...
