Long Chen opened Bai Tingting's belt. Bai Tingting giggled and said, "This is the study room, a place where you read books by sages. How could you do this?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "What kind of study room? In my eyes, every place is a bed, the sky is like a quilt, the ground is like a bed, and everywhere is a place of romance."
The clothes were pulled down and Long Chen pressed on
Coming out of the Imperial Study Room and arriving at the main hall, Wu Jian was dealing with government affairs with Wu Chuchu.
The ancestor of Wu Chu and Chu was a military general and a lady from a famous family. She knew more about government affairs, so she assisted.
"grown ups."
Seeing Long Chen come in, the two of them immediately stood up.
Long Chen sat down and asked: "Have the officials from the Ministry of Personnel not arrived yet?"
Wu Jian shook his head and said: "No, I sent people to urge them again. The officials said that there are too many people needed this time and it will take some time. Please let us bear it first."
Long Chen nodded and said: "This is the truth. Although Xixia is smaller than Zhou Dynasty, it is a country after all. There are too many officials needed to take over."
Fortunately, the cities east of Yangcheng already have officials, otherwise it would be more troublesome to select them at the same time.
"How are Zhu Yong and Hu Jie doing? They've been gone for almost half a month."
Long Chen sent two people out to wipe out the powerful landlords, but they never interfered.
Wu Jian replied: "Every three days, a military report will be sent back. Your Excellency has been reading in the imperial study room, so I didn't say anything."
"The east side is going smoothly, the west side is a little difficult, but the problem is not big, it's just about killing more people."
Many powerful people in the east have been dealt with, so it's easy.
The west side has not been swept, so it is more stubborn.
But the west side is drier and the powerful forces are not strong, so it is easy to deal with it.
"That's good. As long as the powerful landlords are dealt with and the people are given land, they will support us."
"When the time comes, even if the old and young want to cause trouble, they won't be able to find anyone."
Without the common people as the basis, the trouble would be less serious and easily pacified, and Xixia would be permanently merged into the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
Wu Chuchu said: "I found that as long as the people of a country are dealt with, the country will be finished."
When he was in Qianjiang County, Long Chen destroyed the power of the Third Ancestor family in this way, and distributed the Third Ancestor's property to the people in the city, and the people in the city immediately rebelled.
The same goes for Xixia. After giving land to the people, the people immediately turned to support Long Chen.
Long Chen said: "That's why it is said that the one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world!"
The emperor is the head of the people. If the people do not support or agree with him, they are just puppet emperors.
That's why Li Shimin said that the people's hearts are like water. Water can carry a boat but also capsize it.
If the people recognize you and follow you, you will be the emperor!
If the people despise you and hate you, you are a single man!
Saints and light are like dust, who are they the same with? With the common people!
"There is one more thing about Yan Xifeng."
"Originally Yan Xifeng promised to join us, but later his mother Yan Li was killed in the ancestral hall, forcing Yan Xifeng to change his mind anyway."
"That's why there was a siege at the North Gate, and something unexpected happened."
These things were revealed by people in the palace, and Wu Jian now told Long Chen.
"Ms. Yanli is a virtuous mother. Are there any descendants of the Yan family?"
Wu Jian replied: "Yes, Yan Xifeng has two sons."
Long Chen nodded and said: "Be kind to the Yan family, they are loyal ministers of Xixia."
Wu Jian nodded and said: "Yes, all men are men who die for their country."
On the battlefield, strong enemies are respected and traitors are despised.
Yan Xifeng finally died for Xixia, and he died a worthy death. Long Chen expressed his respect, especially for the Yan Li family.
"Is there anything else?"
Long Chen asked.
Wu Jian looked a little embarrassed, Wu Chuchu said for Wu Jian: "It turns out that Gong Zheng Yuyao in the Queen's Palace is not dead, and she wants to see you."
Well
Long Chen was a little surprised: "Yu Yao is not dead? Why are you seeing me?"
Wu Chuchu shook her head and said: "I don't know. All the maids in the palace who were willing to leave have been dismissed. She stayed here and refused to leave."
Long Chen asked: "Where is the person?"
Wu Chuchu said: "Still in the Queen's Palace."
Long Chen left the main hall and walked to the palace in the palace alone.
The eunuchs are still in the palace. They are disabled people and cannot live without the palace.
The maids in the palace are different. The maids in the palace are all good-looking and can marry into good families after leaving the palace, so most of them left.
Walking into the middle palace, it was deserted and deserted.
Entering the bedroom, I saw Yuyao in mourning clothes, kneeling in front of the Queen's memorial tablet in a daze. There was a brazier in front of her with burned paper money in it.
"aunt"
Long Chen walked in, Yu Yao heard the sound, turned around suddenly, and looked at Long Chen with a complicated expression.
After a long time, Yu Yao slowly bowed down and said: "The people who have subjugated their country pay homage to King Wu."
Long Chen sat down next to him and asked, "You want to see me?"
Yuyao stood and said, "Yes, I want to meet King Wu."
Long Chen looked at Yu Yao and said, "I'm here."
Yuyao sighed and said, "Actually, I am unwilling."
Long Chen asked: "Why are you unwilling?"
Yuyao looked at Long Chen and said: "I was originally a slave of the Lu family. I followed the queen into the palace and served the queen all her life. The queen is dead, but I can't do anything."
Long Chen said calmly: "The building is about to collapse and the country is about to perish. What can you do?"
Yuyao looked at Long Chen and said calmly: "I want to avenge the queen."
Long Chen nodded slightly and said, "Okay, come on."
Yuyao took out a dagger from her sleeve, held it tightly with both hands, and stabbed Long Chen.
The dagger pierced Yuyao's heart, and Yuyao fell into Long Chen's arms, her body twitching continuously and then softened.
Long Chen sighed: "Xixia can be considered to have loyal ministers."
After picking up Yuyao and putting her on the couch, Long Chen left the bedroom.
When they got outside, Long Chen ordered Yuyao to be buried generously.
Half a month later.
Zhu Yong and Hu Jie led their troops back to the city. The powerful landlords in Xixia were wiped out and the land was distributed to the people.
Officials from the Ministry of Personnel finally arrived.
Baili Bing, the Minister of Civil Affairs, brought more than 300 officials to Dingxi.
Long Chen took Wu Jian and others to greet him outside the city.
"Shang Shu Baili, I have been waiting for you day and night, and finally you are here."
Long Chen shook his head and sighed, Wu Jian behind him smiled and said: "King Wu talks about you every day, and you are all in his dreams."
Baili Bing smiled and said: "General Wu, please don't say that. I am an old woman. Will King Wu dream of me?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "This is true. I think about Master Shangshu day and night, and I can't sleep at night."
Baili Bing chuckled and said, "Generals, aren't you angry that King Wu has moved on to someone else?"
Zhang Qian smiled and said: "Don't talk about King Wu, we are thinking about it day and night."
The officials behind him laughed.
"Please enter the city, Lord Shangshu."
Long Chen took Baili Bing into the city.
Looking at the thick and solid city wall, Baili Bing exclaimed: "I've heard that Xingqing City is impregnable, but I just got to see it today!"
The officials behind him also praised: "King Wu conquered such a strong city in one day, he is really a god!"
Gongsun Linglong heard these people exclaimed in the team and said, "Do you know who broke through the city gate?"
The official asked: "Please give me some advice, general."
Gongsun Linglong smiled proudly and said: "Of course I am!"
The officials were surprised and said: "General Gongsun is brave!"
Gongsun Linglong asked again: "Do you know who was the first to rush into the city?"
The official was surprised and said: "Could it be that he is also General Gongsun?"
Gongsun Linglong laughed and said, "It feels good to talk to smart people!"
The officials praised: "As expected of the general of the Gongsun family, he is very powerful!"
