Chapter 550 National Events

"The drunkard's intention is not to drink!" Shi Feng repeated it several times in his mouth.

"Commander, could it be that Marquis Yunyang wants to take action against the powerful people in Guandong right now?"

Zhao Chongguo smiled when he heard this: "Ruling a big country is like cooking small delicacies. Marquis Yunyang will not be so impetuous..."

Shi Feng asked doubtfully: "Since Marquis Yunyang doesn't plan to take action against the powerful immediately, why does he act in such a big way?"

Zhao Chongguo said: "Shi Feng, what do you think is the most important?"

Shi Feng said uncertainly: "The sages have said that the important affairs of the country lie in the army and sacrifices, but the officials think that they should be the army and sacrifices!"

Zhao Chongguo said: "Yes, Marquis Yunyang is just grabbing Rong and Si to make a fuss!"

"A few years ago, Marquis Yunyang came up with Taoism when he was in the Western Regions, and it caused a big stir in the Western Regions... Isn't this Taoism just a sacrifice..."

"Now he is using the name of the emperor to launch a large-scale mobilization of the Guandong County. The purpose is naturally the army!"

"As long as he controls Rong and Si, who else in the world can control him... As long as he is willing, I am afraid he will have to change his surname to Zhang..."

Shi Feng was shocked when he heard this: "Could it be that Marquis Yunyang actually wants to..."

Although Shi Feng didn't say it out loud, everyone knew what he meant.

Zhao Chongguo sighed and said: "Perhaps Marquis Yunyang just wants to be the Duke of Zhou. It's not unknown... Marquis Yunyang is much smarter than a rough guy like this. His thoughts are not something that ordinary people can guess..."

When Zhao Chongguo said this, he thought of Zhang Yue's appointment of himself as the Marquis of Xining and the actual seal of three hundred miles of land.

Since Emperor Xiaowen, Chang'an has been continuously strengthening the power of centralization and weakening the vassal kingdoms.

Now Zhang Yue actually did the opposite, which made him confused for a moment.

Shi Feng basically figured it out at this time: "Commander, it seems that Marquis Yunyang wants to reorganize the troops of the Guandong counties!"

Zhao Chongguo said: "It's almost the same, but I don't know how Marquis Yunyang wants to act!"

Shi Feng said: "Aren't Marquis Yunyang afraid of forcing the Guandong counties to rebel by acting like this?"

Zhao Chongguo said: "On the contrary, Marquis Yunyang is probably waiting for the powerful to jump out!"

"Look at the results of the rebellion of Huai Si and Jiangdong powerful people..."

"Now the land in Huaisi and Jiangdong has passed into the hands of Marquis Yunyang... The land of the powerful people has been distributed to the local people by Marquis Xinyang..."

"These people who have obtained the land are all staunch supporters of Marquis Yunyang."

"Nowadays, many people in Guandong are looking forward to dividing the land of the powerful people in Guandong..."

Shi Feng also thought about it at this time: "He is still a wise man, and he is nothing like a tyrant without the support of a large population..."

Zhao Chongguo nodded: "After Marquis Yunyang attacked the Guandong County, I'm afraid he will attack our Shuofang Army!"

Shi Feng was shocked when he heard this. He had just deliberately avoided this question.

Now that Zhao Chongguo is ahead of schedule, he can no longer deceive himself and others.

Zhao Chongguo continued: "This is normal. Even someone in the position of Yunyang Marquis will try his best to unify the military power!"

Shi Feng looked at Zhao Chongguo with a complex expression: "How do you think General Yunyang will treat Shuofang's army?"

Zhao Chongguo smiled bitterly and said: "It's nothing more than reorganizing, replacing officers... taking back the power of governance!"

…

King Liu Qing of Hejian (there is also a King of Liu'an also named Liu Qing) has finally been living a more comfortable life recently.

Ever since the Wang Family Rebellion, Chang'an and Huo Guang have been keeping a close eye on the entire Hejian Kingdom.

There were also spies from the Xiuyi Envoy inside and outside the palace.

Now the emperor was finally beaten to death, and Huo Guang also stepped down.

Since Huo Guang stepped down, Chang'an's monitoring of Hejian Kingdom has also been relaxed a lot.

Liu Qing finally felt a sense of freedom, so he still had some affection for Zhang Yue in his heart.

After receiving the order from Chang'an, Liu Qing reciprocated the favor and immediately mobilized in Hejian Kingdom.

Not only that, he also took the initiative to write letters to the kings, urging them to fully support Chang'an's edict.

Sure enough, his choice was correct. This was the time when Zhang Yue wanted to spend a large sum of money to buy horse bones.

After Zhang Yue learned of this, he not only ordered the lifting of the control of the Hejian Palace, but also publicly praised Liu Qing.

The emperor also ordered to reward Liu Qing with 500 gold, and named Liu Qing's second son Liu An as the Marquis of Xinqing, and granted him a land of hundreds of miles.

It's just that this fiefdom is relatively far away, and it turns out that he is poisoned.

When the emperor's canonization edict reached Hejian Kingdom, Liu Qing, who was filled with joy, immediately called his second son Liu An to him.

"You are still so frizzy even though you are such an old man... You are also a queen now..."

Liu Qing cursed at Liu An with a happy face.

Liu An didn't care about this. He accepted his father's criticism like a good baby and asked:

"Father, where is this Xinqing City?"

"It seems that he is poisoned!"

Liu Qing himself was not sure about this, so he answered casually.

Then he asked the official who came to issue the imperial edict.

"Ming Gong, may I ask where this Xinqing City is?"

The poet laughed when he heard this and said, "So that your Majesty and your Majesty will know that this Xinqing is a good place!"

"This city originally belonged to Jibin, and it was one of the five major cities in the Jibin Kingdom... It was the main transportation route of the Jibin Kingdom, and it was also a place of extreme wealth."

"After the great general Zhang Huan captured this city, the great general changed its name to Xinqing..."

"You are so envious of others that you are feudalized here!"

After the poet finished speaking, he took out a map and gave it to Liu An.

"Please see, sir, this place is Xinqing. It originally had a population of nearly 100,000... It is really a rare and good place..."

Liu Qing looked at the map and said, "So this Xinqing must be suffering from body poisoning?"

The poet shook his head and said: "Xinqing has not yet reached the point of being poisoned. His city must be 400 miles south and passes through the Khyberra Pass before he can be poisoned!"

"However, Xinqing is also an important city on the Silk Road. Originally, the wealth of this place was far above the river!"

When Liu An heard this, he couldn't help but look happy on his face.

Liu Qingze frowned unconsciously, but he heard something different from the verse writer's words.

Liu Qing bowed his hands and said, "The poet said that this city was originally rich. Could it be that something has changed now?"

Liu Qing was asking questions, but he thought of what was said in the previous edict that the Han Dynasty was destroyed when Ji Bin committed a crime.

The verse writer said: "After the Anxi Jiedu envoys Zhao Hou and Xinyang Hou broke through the Yibin Kingdom, they slaughtered all Yibing... Xinqing was naturally among the people who were slaughtered!"

Liu Qing nodded when he heard this. He felt relieved after hearing this.

At this moment, Liu An felt a chill in his heart.

He couldn't help but said: "So Xinqing is now an empty city?"

The poet laughed and said: "It's not even an empty city. There are still some Cypriots and Darabidans in the city..."

Liu An wanted to speak, but Liu Qing stopped him.

"Dare to ask the poet, can I help people immigrate to Xinqing?"

When Liu An heard this, his expression suddenly became much better.

If it is possible to immigrate to Xingqing, that would be acceptable.

The entire Western Region capital was built on the basis of immigration.

Young Liu An was still somewhat arrogant at this time.

When he thought about it, if Zhang Yue could succeed, he, a descendant of Emperor Gao, could also succeed.

Sure enough, the verser's answer did not disappoint the father and son.

The verser said: "This is natural. Both the general and your majesty support immigration... But please know, your Majesty and your princes, that our people in the Western Regions are Chinese... our status is equivalent to that of the barbarian nobles..."

Liu Qing nodded and said: "I will naturally know it, but the poet can rest assured..."

Liu An also expressed his position at this time: "A certain Chinese people are born nobles, so they should naturally be higher than the barbarians."

When Liu An said this, he couldn't help but ask: "Does the poet know how many indigenous people there are in Xinqing now, and how many immigrants can be resettled?"

The verse writer said: "The information provided by the general to the court shows that Xinqing now has about 8,000 Cypriots and Dharubida people, and about 300 Han people..."

"As for how many people can be resettled, Xinqing has 900,000 acres of idle land that has been cultivated. There is no problem in resettling 10,000 people!"
