Dahan, Shenjing City

After hearing the words of the middle-aged emperor behind him, Jia Heng said: "I thought that after this year, I would also finish the naval drill, and install the cannons and blunderbuss on the ships to control the Eastern captives remotely."

"We just experienced a big war this year, so I have to rest for a whole year and a half." Emperor Chongping nodded and said in a light voice.

Jia Heng said: "But the pacification of Liaodong will only take one or two years. Now that the New Deal has been implemented and the military strength is strong, I, the great Han, can pacify Liaodong in one or two years."

Emperor Chongping looked at the resolute young figure and said, "It must have been several years since the duel between you and me in the inner study."

When mentioning old events, Emperor Chongping's eyes were a little dazed, and he had mixed feelings in his mind.

Whether it was the original countermeasures or the later "Ping Lu Strategy", they were all completed, and now the Han Dynasty is already in sight of a revival.

But his body and bones were also exhausted by this national affair.

Jia Heng said: "In the fourteenth year of Chongping, I was lucky enough to meet the Holy Master, and Jian Jian was at the end of his life. It has been more than three years now."

At that time, when the emperor and his ministers were meeting at an important meeting, he earnestly requested Ping to stand by his side and secretly reported all the reform matters. Emperor Chongping happily obeyed.

Then began a legend of a wise king meeting a good minister, conquering the north and south, and reviving the Han Dynasty.

If there was no sweet girl thing, maybe this would be a good story?

Not necessarily, given the emperor's temperament, I am afraid that he would be the best suited to the emperor's wishes, just like the champion Hou Huo Qubing.

The carriage with its high shaft was turning, and after a while, it drove from the gate of Anshun Palace into the palace garden. It was half noon, and the sunlight shone on the glazed tiles of the palace, shining brightly.

Before arriving at the palace garden, Jia Heng said: "Your Majesty, please get out of the car."

Emperor Chongping said: "Ziyu, I heard that you brought back a female emperor from Japan this time."

Jia Heng's expression changed slightly and he said in a clear voice: "Your Majesty, your grace."

There must be the Emperor's spies around him, or in other words, among the guards of the Jinyi Mansion.

"How can a small country dare to claim the title of emperor? It's just that Yelang is arrogant and wants to be crowned emperor." Jia Heng plastic surgery calmed his expression and said loudly: "The sister of the Japanese king was actually temporarily appointed as the emperor during the fight between the Japanese country and the shogunate.

He served as housekeeper for several years, and when the political situation of Japan was stable, he passed the throne to his younger brother."

Taking a queen as a concubine is obviously against the taboo of the heavenly family who is also the emperor, so it needs to be modified in words.

Emperor Chongping looked at the young man with a clear face, with a hint of amusement in his eyes, and said: "You, you really go everywhere..."

If you are so romantic and lustful and don't know how to maintain your health, I'm afraid that in the future, you will really die young.

Jia Heng looked a little uncomfortable and said, "Wei Chen is really ashamed."

Emperor Chongping seemed annoyed and said: "If I make the decision for Xianning, I will not let you go. Look at what I have done."

The young man in front of me is really full of love wherever he goes.

Jia Heng said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. She has always been generous to me in Xianning. I am truly a humble minister who is very lucky."

Emperor Chongping did not continue to hold on to this matter, and asked softly: "It may have been a long time since I came to Xianning. I still want to hold my grandson."

Jia Heng looked a little unnatural and said: "I will do my best."

Secretly, he didn't get his grandson, but his daughter or son... he helped a lot.

However, I don’t know if Tianniuer has given birth.

Counting the days, I should have given birth to a child by now.

In front of the middle-aged emperor, Jia Heng quickly suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his heart, changed the subject, and said softly: "Your Majesty, after I stay in Beijing for two months, I will go to Tianjin, Denglai and other places in November.

, we can first harass Liaodong from the sea and continue to bleed the Jurchen Liaodong."

This is all about repaying the other person with his own way.

Emperor Chongping said: "During this period, there have been frivolous discussions in the court from time to time. It is proposed that we should no longer resort to excessive military force and excessive conscription. I think it is not unreasonable. Although the imperial treasury has abundant funds after the New Deal, it cannot be squandered."

Jia Heng said: "What the Holy One said is true. After Liaodong is annihilated, the heavy troops in the border towns can be appropriately dismantled. At that time, the general's expenses will be on the sea, and I, the great Han, can still support the people of the world with sea trade tariffs, and the burden on the people will also be reduced."

It will be much lighter.”

Emperor Chongping pondered for a moment and said: "I have read the previous memorial. It is from a high level and hits the point of Xuken. It makes people enlightened."

As he said that, he raised his eyes and looked at the young man's expression.

Jia Heng said: "Your Majesty has over-honored me, and I also thought for a moment. If the customs tariff can be increased to 20 million taels in recent years, maybe I, a big man, can do less tax and less tax, so that the people will not suffer from the exploitation of local officials.

At that time, there were no more civil unrest, and civil unrest occurred again and again.”

Emperor Chongping thought for a while and said: "I have also thought about this matter, but it will take more than twenty or thirty years to complete the work. It can only be left to the successors for implementation."

At the end of the sentence, the middle-aged emperor looked quite disappointed.

Fortunately, when he came to dominate the world, the Han Dynasty should have pacified Liaodong.

The monarch and his ministers talked and walked towards Xihe Palace.

The kings of Chu and Wei talked with Li Zan and Gao Zhongping respectively.

The King of Chu worked with Li Zan a lot, and even treated him as a teacher. He said softly: "Mr. Li Ge, after this year is over, Liaodong should be pacified next year."

Li Zan asked: "This depends on the military aircraft meeting in the past two days. What is Duke Wei's opinion of Liaodong?"

The King of Chu said warmly: "What Zi Yu means is that these two years of northern expedition against the captives are also for fear that if the nights are long and there are many dreams, things will change if it is too late."

Li Zan said: "We probably won't be able to use troops this year. It should be next year."

On the other side, King Wei was talking to Gao Zhongping and said: "The implementation of the New Deal this year has been in full swing in the northern and southern provinces of the Han Dynasty. I see that in the past three or two years, the national treasury will be extremely rich."

Gao Zhongping nodded and said: "The New Deal is still counting acres of land in some places, and in some places it is still hiding grain fields to fight against the government's inspection of Dingkou. It will take another one or two years for the New Deal to be fully implemented."

In other words, the New Deal still has certain potential that can be unleashed.

Wei Wang Chen Ran said: "Lao Gao Ge, the New Deal has been on trial for more than a year, but there is still resistance."

"There has always been resistance, but now it is just suppressed temporarily. If we want to prevent changes, we still have to persist in the implementation." The sadness on Gao Zhongping's face did not diminish at all, and he said softly: "In addition, there is also the matter of dealing with Huo Hao's return to the public, and

The Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Internal Affairs are short of manpower, and are dispatching manpower to local areas to take charge of preparations for the establishment of the Royal Bank."

Since the eldest princess of Jinyang had a child, she has indeed focused on the child, especially when she is stationed in Jinling all year round. Although Fu Qiufang and Yuan Chun are good helpers, the eldest princess of Jinyang has not been able to take care of her own property, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will inevitably

Something was omitted.

King Wei's heart moved and he said: "Aunt Jinyang has been working in Tirenyuan in the south, managing the sea trade of the three major weaving bureaus. It is indeed a bit harder."

Although my uncle said that he had stopped observing filial piety for three years in order to win the love of his father, he also had no director after returning to the capital and was still idle in the palace. If he could be transferred to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he would be considered to have control of the Tian family's money bag.

As they talked, they walked quickly towards the palace garden.

Xihe Palace

Jia Heng and Emperor Chongping entered the palace along the palace road and helped Emperor Chongping sit on the dragon chair. Not long after, Dai Quan also ran over panting and reported: "Your Majesty, all the ministers are still behind."

Emperor Chongping said: "Let the imperial kitchen prepare meals."

Then, Emperor Chongping turned to look at Jia Heng and said: "Zi Yu just mentioned that the Navy, North Korea, and the Japanese jointly attacked the Liaodong Jurchens. What if the Liaodong Jurchens invaded again from Shanhaiguan and Xuanda?"

Jia Heng said: "Your Majesty, when the soldiers come, we will block it, and when the water comes, the soil will flood it. Now, I am no longer a big man who allowed the cavalry to come and go freely. The Jiuguan border towns have been gradually reorganized, and the Jurchen soldiers and horses can only be frustrated."

Under the fortified city, but..."

Emperor Chongping said: "But what?"

Jia Heng pondered for a moment and said: "Wei Chen thinks that the Jurchens will contact the Dzungars and the Heshuote people to make an appointment to invade the border. The three parties will communicate with each other so that my big man will not be able to care about the head and tail."

When Emperor Chongping heard this, he was not surprised, but his face fell into thinking.

Jia Heng said loudly: "In the northwest, the King of Xining County is in charge, and in the land of Duogansi, King Meng is also in charge. It's not a big deal. I, the big man, should take advantage of the weakness of the Yi Di from all directions to give them a fatal blow."

It can be said that today's Han Dynasty is in the best historical window period.

Therefore, what a pity it would be if internal strife and even suspicion between the emperor and his ministers ruined this opportunity to bring peace to Liao Dynasty?

When he came back this time, in addition to getting married, he also tried his best to use later generations' understanding of firearms in the weapons supervisor to guide the weapons supervisor to develop some firearms.

Then he couldn't wait much longer and immediately went to Tianjin Wei, Laizhou and other places to prepare and train elite troops to attack Liaodong.

Emperor Chongping nodded and said in a low voice: "What Zi Yu said is true. We cannot delay it any longer. The Liaodong issue should be completely resolved in one or two years."

Jia Heng said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. This time we advance by land and water. After recapturing Liaodong, the Heshuote people in all directions, such as Junggar, will send troops to expel them one after another. From now on, the four barbarians will be stable and the sea will be peaceful."

Emperor Chongping seemed to be immersed in the blueprint outlined by Jia Heng.

Perhaps Ziyu never had any ambitions, he just wanted to fight and hang out among flowers.

On the day when the world is truly prosperous and the world is at peace, will he and the kings of future generations not be able to accommodate a prince Xiaoyao?

With this thought, the fear and coldness deep in the emperor seemed to gradually dissipate.

Jia Heng stared at the emperor whose eyes were blank for a moment, feeling a little frightened and inexplicable in his heart.

After returning this time, I clearly felt an indescribable and unclear meaning, like an invisible barrier between the two of them.

After a while, many civil and military officials were seen coming quickly, and then led by the eunuchs and eunuchs, they entered the palace.

"We have met Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty." The civil and military officials of the Han Dynasty saluted the middle-aged emperor who was sitting on the golden armchair.

"Your Majesty, come to peace." Emperor Chongping calmly glanced at the people present and said.

At this moment, all the civil and military ministers sat down in the palace and finished.

Emperor Chongping couldn't hide the joy on his face and said: "Today is the day when Jia Ziyu returned from the war. Since last year, the Jurchen Tatars have suffered setbacks in their relations with our Han Dynasty. They have turned to seek to annex the Japanese country, hoping to increase their national strength and compete with our Han Dynasty.

Duke Wei led his troops to the Japanese country and defeated the Jurchen Tatars. After this battle, the situation between our Han Dynasty and the Donglu people could be said to be an exchange of offense and defense. It was completely new. The opportunity for counterattack was coming! In these years, the situation has changed so much, and Jia Ziyu took the most credit.

Great."

Although it was said that Jia Heng's daughter Jia Fu had been rewarded as the head of the county before, the reward was actually a bit small for her contribution. However, it was sent for the time being in preparation for the day when Liaodong was pacified and the reward was given to the county king.

When the civil and military ministers present heard the words "the greatest merit is the greatest," the expressions on their faces were somewhat complicated.

Do these evaluations all attribute the credit of the New Deal and the reversal of the Han Dynasty situation to Duke Wei?

Jia Heng stood up quickly, with a solemn expression on his face, cupped his hands and said: "I don't deserve the praise of the Holy One. I just do my duty. If there is no Holy One, the king will strategize in the center, the chief minister will assist the butt in the temple, and the soldiers will fight on the battlefield."

, the situation will never be as good as it is now.”
