Chapter Eighteen Shu Kingdom
"It is said that the greatest achievement of an official is that he is powerful and prosperous, and his blessings are the eight generations and nine tribes."
Qingyuan smiled a few times and said, "So that's it..."
"That eunuch..."
Mr. Ge snorted and said, "When the Prime Minister was in the past, he was still an unknown little person. Unexpectedly... After the Prime Minister passed away, he was taken advantage of by this person to control his internal affairs."
After Ge Xiang passed away, whether Ge Zhan, Jiang Baijian, or Yan Yu, they were fighting for the military power of Shu. At that time, Hu Hao was trusted by the Emperor of Shu, and took advantage of the situation to control his internal affairs and form a large number of gangs.
Today, the military power is divided into pieces and full of holes, but the internal affairs are still stable, and all of them are controlled by Hu Hao.
Qingyuan pondered for a moment and nodded, "I have heard that he is powerful and powerful, and in the court, he is full of party members and deep-rooted."
After a pause, Qingyuan shook his head and smiled, saying, "At present, even the general of Shu Kingdom, Jiang Baijian, has no choice but to be checked and balanced by him."
The six ministries of the court, including officials, households, rituals, soldiers, punishments and work, all had this person's sect. Except for the Ministry of War, who were only placed in people, almost all the rest of the place were firmly controlled by this person.
The population, military expenditure, food, and other matters were all checked and balanced by this person.
Ge Lao said angrily: "If the Prime Minister had not died, why would Shu Kingdom fall to such a level?"
Qingyuan did not answer the conversation, and his expression remained the same.
Today, he is the person who descended from the Immortal Palace in Heaven and does not belong to any party.
However, in comparison, he often wandered within the territory of Shu, and was more familiar and close to Nanliang and Yuanmeng.
When I heard Mr. Ge’s words, I remembered the book of talismans, Ge Xiang’s handwriting and thoughts he had obtained, and I couldn’t help but sigh.
And the mandrill beside it is ignorant and vague.
But Xiaoyu had some shocked thoughts.
Today, the battles are continuous, Li Village is located in Shu Kingdom, and is located on the southern border. Although it is based on the terrain of deep mountains and forests, it is not at the place of war, but it is not considered a peaceful territory.
Therefore, even the people near Li County, even the woodcutter and fisherman, were very concerned about the situation of the battle.
Although Ge Yuer is a child, she often hears and knows a lot about many things under her influence. In fact, she is quite familiar with the current situation in her heart.
However, most of the situations and figures in her mind were kept in her mind with a relatively easy-to-understand impression.
Now that my husband and grandfather have been told in such clear words, many popular impressions in my heart are strange.
Qingyuan turned his head, looked at the mandrill with confusion, and said, "Since you have followed me into the world, you cannot know nothing. Let's find a place to stay first, and I will tell you in detail on the way."
The mandrill nodded.
...
When the Tang Dynasty ruled the Central Plains, the emperor had nowhere to come out. After his death, there were no descendants to succeed him. Then the kings fought for the throne, which eventually led to the decline of the Tang Dynasty's national strength and collapsed.
There are also people who are not famous for their lives due to war and war, and they rise up from all directions, causing chaos in the world.
After 60 years of war, the general trend was initially decided.
There is the Liang Kingdom in the south, and there is the Shu Kingdom in the middle.
The two countries want to fight for the world together.
However, when the war between Shu and Liang, the northern grassland tribe raised flags to establish a country, named Yuanmeng.
Therefore, the world is divided into three parts.
Because as the future situation today and the situation involves the creation of the gods.
Therefore, this is not only a dispute between the secular courts, but also involves people in practice.
Therefore, Qingyuan tells it in more detail.
...
"The territory under your feet is the territory of Shu."
Qingyuan and Shanzhu were parallel, and because Mr. Ge, who was born in the Shu army and pedestrians around him, his voice was low.
The mandrill listened seriously, lowered his head, and just responded twice.
"Originally, Shu Kingdom was unprecedentedly strong, and this was the leader among the Three Kingdoms. Prime Minister Ge Shangming was very smart and had great plans. He not only held internal affairs, but also held military power. He was stable and strong, but he died of illness during the war."
"His only son Ge Zhan inherited military power, attacked Nanliang, and repelled Deng Yin, the general of Nanliang. During the victory, he encountered an outstanding figure in Nanliang who led only 7,000 troops and horses to the Central Camp, defeating the formation of the 200,000 troops in Shu Kingdom."
"Ge Zhan died in battle, his army was defeated, and Shu Kingdom was in a slump, and his troops were weak since then."
"The military power was handed over to Jiang Bojian."
Speaking of this, Qingyuan paused, and then his tone became a little heavier, "Jiang Bojian was originally a general of Liang State. He was born in Tianshui County and had good talents, but he was highly suspicious in Liang State. Later, Ge Xiang defeated Tianshui and transferred Tianshui into Shu State before he subdued it."
"Jiang Bojian?" Shan Mandr noticed that the gentleman's tone became stronger, so he wrote down the name in his heart.
"Ge Xiang valued Jiang Baijian, accepted him as his disciple, handed down military letters, and granted military power."
Qingyuan said slowly: "But after Ge Xiang's death, Jiang Baijian was surrendered to the general after all, and his qualifications were insufficient, so his military power was held by Ge Xiang's son Ge Zhan."
"Ge Zhan has obtained military power, and has always been afraid of Jiang Baijian, and regards him as a great enemy, and has many checks and balances."
"It was not until after his defeat and the Shu Kingdom was defeated that Jiang Baijian took over the defeated Shu Kingdom's remnants."
"But because of this, the country's strength was weak, he had to work diligently and barely control the current situation, without any outstanding achievements."
Qingyuan said: "In the current situation, Jiang Baijian is a general of Shu, who holds most of the military power. As for the other part of the military power, it is in the hands of the right general Yan Yu. In addition, a small part of the military power is relatively scattered and need not be paid attention to."
When Shanwang heard the name Yan Yu, he found that the tone of his husband also changed a little.
Qingyuan thought about it and said, "As for Hu Hao mentioned earlier, he was a eunuch, who was once a member of Liang State, and was later expelled and fell into Shu State."
"When Ge Zhan, Jiang Baijian, Yan Yu and others competed for military power, he took the opportunity to control his internal affairs. Now his foundation is everywhere, and he is considered to be in power."
"This man is very powerful in Shu Kingdom. Even a distant relative of the restaurant owner who delivered vegetables to his mansion could use his name to do whatever he wanted, which shows how arrogant he is."
Qing Yuan warned: "You must remember that he is also one of the Shu Kingdom who cannot be ignored."
The mandrill heard the gentleman talk about it one by one, remembered it for a long time, and then replied.
"I remember."
...
Mr. Ge means that after entering the city, he will first find a place to eat, set a place to stay, and then look for the carriages and horses to Yuanjing City tomorrow.
Qingyuan has no objection.
The group came to the restaurant.
Although the restaurant is not full, it is quite lively.
There is a storyteller above, holding a folding fan in his hand, pointing fingers and talking freely.
Qingyuan and others sat by the window, ordered a few plates of side dishes and a pot of tea, and then listened carefully, but found that what the storyteller said was not someone else, but Yan Yu, the right general of Shu Kingdom.
"How dare you talk about the important generals of the country?"
Qingyuan was a little surprised and looked at Mr. Ge, both of whom were confused.
Yan Yu's ancestor was an important official of Shu, so he was always disliked Jiang Bojian, a foreign surrendered general, and the two often had disagreements.
This is something ordinary people know about.
If the stories and rumors circulating among the people are not conducive to the country, they will be cut off in the bud.
As for those secrets that cannot be spread, even if they are spread, someone will ban them in time and even silence them.
Therefore, the disagreement between the two generals of Shu Kingdom is not a secret.
