Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty-Four Years of Life Gathering (End of this Volume)
"What does King Yong want to instruct Beiyi to do?"
"Do nothing, just walk around."
The firelight from Bawuling illuminated the night sky, and he sang in the darkness around him with a shrill scream. The cavalry holding weapons roared by. Geng Qing on the other side withdrew his gaze, smiled and made a "please" gesture, inviting Zhao Zhouyi to walk around nearby.
"It's been a long time since I've talked to you. I've always had to talk to you alone when I come back this time. Now I'm just free, so let's talk to you first."
As the situation is complicated today, after Tang Ting abdicated, no one can understand the final belonging of the world. When Li Keyong defeated Luze and Zhu Wen died tragically at the hands of his son, the Khitan looked at the south. What kind of major events will happen in the next moment will no longer be surprising.
Zhao Zhouyi walked on one side, and he turned his head to look at the outline of the whistling and running in the darkness. There were quiet troops behind him, and the Shangshu Ling, who once had only more than one hundred people, was already qualified to compete for the world.
He is not a fool. King Yong was going to talk to him alone at this time, obviously not just chatting. After a moment of silence, he spoke, "King Yong, this time I am back for Fengxiang and Longzhou?"
On the side, Geng Qing did not look at him with his hands in his arms, and looked straight ahead, or smiled and signaled with the soldiers and generals who had crossed over. After a while, he spoke, but said something else.
"I have seen many prosperity in the Central Plains, and compared to this, they are all prosperous. The northwest has a barren land and a sparse population. They also have a unique advantage, that is, the trade routes westward to earn good things that other states cannot earn. Before leaving, I repeatedly reminded me to increase the number of Han people and reduce the Dangxiang people who joined the army, and try to make them magnify their own advantages to graze and hunt. The government also increased its support for them to do these to earn generous rewards. In the years and decades, even dozens of generations, they have been relying on them and will not cause any more trouble. But on the road these days, I found that what I said to you before leaving has not been implemented to the end."
Zhao Zhouyi opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but was interrupted by the figure walking in front of her.
"Listen to me... You all have their own ambitions and have their own ideas. If you want to practice it, there is nothing big mistake. I won't blame you. It's just that the speed of repairing the errors is too slow, which makes a small bag turn into a pustules. Before returning to Chang'an, I had already started to manage the situation in the north and tried my best to curb the Khitans. I may not have enough energy here. King Qi is not healed now and is in bed with his illness."
Geng Qing turned around and showed a familiar smile to Zhao Zhouyi. It was dark, and the fire was filled with a smile like a fox.
"Since I'm sick in bed, I'll have a good time to recuperate. Longzhou needs a new person who can do things."
The meaning of the last sentence was already very obvious. Zhao Zhouyi lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the gaze of the King Yong. Of course, there was an uncontrollable curve on his face and the corners of his mouth. His excited arms were trembling slightly. He raised his hand and held his fists heavily, and whispered:
"King Qi was poisoned and had no improvement in his illness for a month. It's not impossible to take a rest like this."
"We're doing it for his own good."
Geng Qing walked over, held up the other party with both hands, and looked at him calmly and clearly. It seemed that he did not say anything he had just said, but contained darkness.
Geng Qing smiled.
"The northwest has not had a big chaos, which is a good result. However, there are Wang Jian from Shu to the south, Li Keyong survived in the north, and there were a few unjust officials in the south. However, these are not major diseases. The first thing is the Khitan in the north. I will take back my energy and put it there, and clear away the surrounding unjust officials. The northwest is my biggest tax place."
As he spoke, the howling war horses in the distance cheered, and many prisoners of Dangxiang who were guarded by infantry were pulled over with ropes. Geng Qing turned around and looked over there, continuing to say what he had just said.
"After this rebellion in the Party, I have been in the northwest. I have been a great rule for ten years and have been recuperating for ten years. With Chang'an as the center, it radiates to the surrounding prefectures and counties. I talked about doing business with us with the Hu people, and brought them with them to make money, eat, wear, read, and read, gather, unite everything that can unite, and then... destroy the surrounding unjust officials."
"That's what I think, ten years, is it enough?"
The night wind blew on his face, and in a plain voice, Geng Qing turned around, looked at Zhao Zhouyi, and raised his hand to the kneeling prisoner over there.
"They have given it to you, kill all the heads, and select some kind people for them again, and stay with the water, and release horses and shepherds."
After the words fell, he made a "kill" gesture, and Xia Luqi took the order to leave. Soon after, dozens of people were separated from a large number of prisoners and taken to the distant mountains and forests.
The wind whimpered along the hills and the earth ran over. Zhao Zhouyi held his fists in silence, said a simple farewell, and took his Fengxiang army one by one to take over the prisoners of Dangxiang.
The hills were still burning. In the flames, Li Cunxiao got off his horse and leaned on the ground with a King of Yu on his spear. He stood beside his brother, watched the count of the prisoners, and slowly retreated from the Fengxiang army in the distant mountain camp.
Geng Qing was also watching with her. The majesty on her face was swept away, and then she changed into a relief expression, and he let out a breath.
"It's a bit difficult and uncomfortable to pretend to be in control of the world."
"Because my brother has not reached that level." Li Cunxiao hugged the soldiers, "Just about to reach that point, there will be some brothers without pretending. But just now, I heard from my brother's words that I won't fight for ten years?"
"Is it possible for ten years not to fight...?"
Geng Qing smiled, the entire hill burning in his eyes, and murmured softly: "Ten years...it's really good if there are ten years."
.........
Time gradually passed, the sky gradually became brighter, the sun shone down from the sky clouds to the east, the burning wildfires had been extinguished, the rich black smoke was still rising in the sky, the fighting army evacuated in an orderly manner, drove the camp south, gathered the Longzhou cavalry, and headed to the city.
At the end of October, King Qi, who was ill in bed, and the governor of Longyou, Li Jiji, temporarily withdrew from the power center and handed over the power of Longyou to King Geng Qing. Judging from the current situation, it has been peacefully transferred.
There was no objection to this point in Longyou. After all, the King Yong was familiar with the government affairs of Longzhou. After the transfer of authority, although there were still rebellions in the territory, as the Tuoba tribe of Qingzhou moved south to Long, it gradually stabilized. The new leader of the Tuoba tribe accepted the title of the Daliang government and served as the governor of Jingyuan. The King of Qi, who was recuperating, was also the envoy of Xuanfu Dangxiang, and married the daughter of Tuoba Chaoxin, the leader of the Dangxiang.
At this point, the Dangxiang Rebellion in Longzhou was quelled.
Such news spread. In the early November of the same year, Geng Qing returned to Longzhou to quell the Dangxiang turmoil, and set up a strategy for recuperation in Longzhou. He sent envoys to Zhangjia, Tuyuhun, Tubo, and Uighurs in Guiyizhou to start trade on the border.
To the south, cross the Shannan West Road and enter Shu, Wang Jian from western Sichuan and eastern Sichuan had no concern about the situation in the Central Plains or the north. During this year, when Zhu Wen deposed the Tang Dynasty and became emperor, he also worked hard to organize some things.
On the third day of November, the northwest was still quelling the Dangxiang Rebellion. King Shu Wang Jian issued an edict to the world, refuting Liang and abolishing Tang, and pursuing the act of rebellion. He sacrificed to heaven in the southern suburbs of Chengdu. Then he was amnesty in the territory and changed the reign to Wucheng, and named Emperor Yingwu Ruisheng of Dashu, and appointed his second son Wang Zongyi as the crown prince.
After Zhu Wen deposed the Tang Dynasty and became emperor, the news that King Shu Wang Jian of King Wang was promoted to himself spread throughout the world in the winter of this year. Many people who were deeply loved by Tang were deeply mourned and scolded Zhu Wen and Wang Jian. The former was dead, while the latter was carved into a spiritual position and was slapped with stones every day.
However, among the people, such news is just a topic of discussion and there is not much trouble.
When he left Luoyang, the white winter snow was about to melt. Zhu Youzhen received the news, but after a few words of cursing, he continued to summon all the ministers to discuss the move to Kaifeng.
The wind and snow were swaying, and there were still snowflakes falling in Taiyuan. In the warm palace hall, Li Ke was spotted with white hair and thin body lying on the couch, trying to support his tired body and prevent himself from falling down. Looking out the window, the supported arms were unbalanced, and he lay down and knocked over the stove. This was the third time he fainted.
The palace was in chaos, and the snowflakes were blowing with the wind. On the road to the east and north, an old horse and a lonely shadow, Qin Huaimian carried a sword around his waist, hung wine in his hand, walked slowly through the vast snow, stopped the horse in front of a yard of someone else, shook off the snowflakes accumulated in his robes, sat under the eaves, thinking about the future path.
The white color extended infinitely from the bottom of his eyes. In the farther north, the convoy that was staying due to heavy snow was temporarily sitting in a nearby small county. Zhao Hongjun took his wife and children to admire the snow scene that he had not seen for a long time.
After turning around this year, they will stay in a place called Khitan for a long time......
Occasionally I think of someone, and my fat figure picked up the hot drink and toasted a glass of wine towards Chang'an. I saw you again later. I don't know which year or month it has been.
Alas, this world...
