Shao Fang finally ascended to the coveted throne of King Mo, and Tang Yin had already learned that Jiaxi and other twenty secret arrow personnel were all killed in action. While feeling sad in his heart, he sent an order to build a Loyalty Hall in Yancheng to collect those warriors.
All the tablets of our own generals who died on the battlefield are enshrined inside, including Jiaxi's spiritual tablet.
Of course, it is impossible to state in Jiaxi's life story that he died by assassinating King Mo, but it only vaguely states that he died in the Battle of Hedong.
Shao Ting was assassinated, and the second prince Shao Fang succeeded to the throne of Mo. This was a turning point in the relationship between Feng and Mo.
Originally, the diplomacy between Feng State and Mo State was very subtle. They seemed like enemies but not enemies, and seemed like friends but not friends. However, with Shao Fang's rise to power, the relationship between the two countries began to gradually become clearer and transformed into a comprehensive alliance.
The first thing Shao Fang did after he came to the throne was to completely eradicate Shao Bo's influence. Those civil servants and military generals who were originally good friends with Shao Bo were either kicked out of the court or removed from the army. First, they isolated Shao Bo.
The thing is to send envoys to visit Feng Country and sign an alliance agreement with Feng Country.
At the same time, Shao Fang also sent his half-sister Shao Xuan to Feng Country to marry Tang Yin in accordance with the original agreement with Tang Yin.
As the relationship between the two countries improved, the border between the two countries was also fully opened. The fortresses stationed by the Mozambican border were dismantled one after another, and 200,000 border troops moved westward towards the Monin border. Similarly, the Feng country also made
In a sign of great trust in the Mo Kingdom, all the 100,000 Chifeng troops outside Baguan City were withdrawn to Yancheng, and the more than 60,000 defenders of Baguan were reduced to 20,000.
However, the reduced 40,000 soldiers were not disbanded, but continued to stay in Baguan as reserves. They still trained as usual, but they had one more job than before, farming.
The most important thing for Tang Yin is food, and the food problem of Feng State has always been the biggest trouble for Feng Army. More than 60,000 Baguan troops have to eat and drink every day. The food consumed over time has become a heavy burden for Yancheng. Now with the help of
Seeing no chance of improving relations between the two countries, Tang Yin happened to order the Baguan Army to garrison the fields. On the surface, it seemed that the Baguan Army had been reduced by more than half, but in fact, its combat power had not been reduced at all, and it was still able to be self-sufficient.
After the Feng Mo Alliance was formed, the focus of both sides shifted westward, and the war against Ning was put on the agenda.
There are domestic voices of opposition in both countries on the issue of war against Ning.
There were originally a number of ministers in the Mo Dynasty who were pro-Ning, and the relationship between Mo and Ning had always been good, with frequent trade and constant people-to-people exchanges. Although Shao Fang was the monarch, there were many obstacles to mobilizing troops against Ning.
The situation in Feng Country is not much better than that in Mo Country. Now that the Hedong area has been recaptured and the two countries have signed a peace treaty, many people in Feng Country and the ministers of North Korea and China are satisfied with the status quo and do not want to fight or fight again.
, the views of the Zhuhe sect on self-cultivation and self-cultivation account for the vast majority.
Tang Yin sneered at the idea of self-cultivation and self-cultivation. The environment of Feng Country was harsh, its foundation was weak, and its national strength was weak. Ten years of self-cultivation and self-cultivation may not be as good as one year of other countries. If you don’t get close, you will retreat. If you don’t rely on war to plunder, Feng will
The gap in strength between China and other countries will only widen.
Tang Yin planned to take tough measures against those who advocated peace. Whoever advocated peace would be dismissed from office, and whoever took the lead in resisting the war would have their heads killed.
That night, Tang Yin was thinking about this matter in his study. A guard came in, stepped in and saluted, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister, Mr. Shi Gao, wants to see you!"
Highlighting the festival? Tang Yin was slightly startled, nodded and replied: "Please come near!"
"yes!"
It didn't take long, and the Highlight Festival came closer from outside.
Today's Gao Liang Festival is the Prime Minister of the third rank, Chang Shi, wearing a majestic and elegant official uniform. However, the official uniform looks awkward when it is worn on him. It is not that his image is too bad, but that the official uniform is too dirty.
Especially the cuffs, Tang Yin saw that they were dirty and had a sheen of oil on them.
He didn't have mysophobia, but he really couldn't stand the informality of Gao Liang Festival. Every time he saw him, Tang Yin had to stand as far away as possible. The strange smell on his body gave him a headache, as if he hadn't taken a shower in a month or two.
Similar.
After Gao Liangjie entered the study, Tang Yin's eyes wandered over him. He had been upset for the past two days, but seeing Gao Liangjie like this made him even more upset.
"I am here to meet you, your Majesty!"
On Gao Liangjie, he specially adjusted his official uniform in front of Tang Yin, then knelt down and kowtowed.
Tang Yin did not ask him to get up immediately, but deliberately asked sarcastically: "Master Gao, is there only one set of official uniforms issued by the imperial court?"
Not understanding why he asked this, Gao Liangjie replied inexplicably: "Your Majesty, there is another set, there are two sets in total."
Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why don't you wear the other official uniform?"
Gao Liangjie was even more confused when he heard this. He couldn't understand why the king suddenly cared about what he was wearing. He replied truthfully: "Your Majesty, that official uniform is dirty. I will wear it when I come to see the king."
A little more decent."
"..." Tang Yin was speechless. Looking at Gao Liangjie's dirty shiny official uniform, he couldn't laugh or cry. He shook his head, changed the subject, and asked, "Master Gao, what's the matter with coming here?"
"Is the king ready to use troops against Ning?" Gao Liangjie stopped thinking about other things and got to the point.
Although this man was a bit sloppy, he was indeed very smart. Tang Yin nodded with a smile, waved his hand and said, "Get up!"
After receiving his instruction, Gao Liangjie stood up from the ground and sat down across from Tang Yin.
Tang Yin didn't say anything, but he still moved the mat under his buttocks back. He said, "Yes, I intend to use troops against Ning!"
Gao Liangjie smiled and said: "However, looking at the ministers in the DPRK, they all seem to want to make peace!"
"Hmph!" Tang Yin sneered and curled his lips and said: "The ministers of the Lord and He are all short-sighted people, so it's okay not to do it."
Gao Liangjie understood what he meant and couldn't help but frown secretly. After a moment of silence, he said: "There are many ministers in charge of peace. If the king can remove one or two people, how can he remove them all? He only follows his own rules.
If you insist on going your own way and don't listen to any objections, I'm afraid that your Majesty will be called a tyrant!"
Tang Yin narrowed his eyes at him and asked: "I don't care what others think of me. What? Sir Gao is here today to persuade me to give up using troops against Ning?"
Gao Liangjie waved his hand and smiled and said: "I'm here to give you some advice. Your Majesty, think about it, the relationship between our country and Ning State is so bad, and there are so many people seeking peace, wouldn't it be true that there are people in Mo State who have always been on good terms with Ning State?
More anti-war people? Even if the king can suppress the peace faction in the country, he cannot suppress the peace faction in Mo country!"
"Well..." Tang Yin frowned and responded quietly, but did not answer immediately.
Gao Liangjie continued: "I have a plan that will allow the two countries to send troops to Ning in a legitimate and legitimate manner. It will not be true to the facts and will not be obstructed by the peace faction!"
"Oh?" Tang Yin's eyes lit up, he looked at the highlighted section and said, "Tell me quickly!"
"Does your Majesty still remember the advice I gave your Majesty?"
"This..." Tang Yin was a little confused by his sudden question.
Gao Liangjie didn't care whether Tang Yin remembered it or not, and said: "In my message to the king, I have already predicted that Feng and Ning cannot coexist, and there will be a life and death war. The king can take advantage of the opportunity of the emperor in our country.
, to create a reason to send troops." After a pause, he took a breath and said: "The king asked the emperor to send an edict to King Ning and King Mo respectively, summoning them to Yancheng to meet the emperor to show their loyalty, and summoned King Mo to come
Coming, of course, is just a pretense. The key is to summon King Ning. If Yan Chu dares to come, the king will detain him and demand gold and silver from Ning Guo on the pretext of paying tribute to the emperor. The bigger the amount, the better. It will be big enough to let Ning Guo
Unable to accept it and unable to hand it over, the king can use it to accuse Ning Guo of being disloyal, and join forces with Mo State to use troops against Ning. If Yan Chu did not dare to come to Yancheng after receiving the emperor's edict, then the matter would be even simpler. The king could
The imperial edict is telling the world that if Yan Chu disobeys the imperial decree and has a disobedient heart, our country and the Mo country can also send out troops to fight against the rebellion and attack the Ning country."
After Gao Liangjie's analysis, Tang Yin suddenly felt enlightened. If he hadn't said it, he would have almost forgotten the contents of his previous article.
Tang Yin stood up straight, looked up, smiled, nodded and said, "Gao Liangjie, your idea is a good one, I will consider it carefully."
Gao Liangjie said confidently: "Wei Chen can assert that there is no other way."
Tang Yin stopped laughing, looked at Gao Liangjie strangely, and said nothing. Although the latter's arrogance made him feel very uncomfortable, Tang Yin had to admit that Gao Liangjie's plan was indeed the best policy.
"Okay, I'm a little tired too. You should go back first!" Tang Yin sat down again and waved his hand at the same time.
"Your Majesty, I have one more thing to do."
"What's the matter?" Tang Yin looked at him curiously.
Gao Liangjie paused for a moment, then Fang Gan said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I want to bring my parents back to Yancheng."
Well? What is this? Tang Yin said absently: "Okay, this is a good thing. Since you have filial piety, you should bring your parents to the capital."
"But... I have not been in office for a long time, and I am short of money. I have no money to buy a house in the capital. Your Majesty, you see..." He was embarrassed to say the rest of the words, but his meaning was already obvious, and he wanted Tang Yin to pay for him.
Settled down in Yancheng.
In other countries, it would be normal for the monarch to provide homes and properties for the talented ministers in the court. However, the Feng Kingdom's treasury was empty and there really was no spare money to settle the ministers. Moreover, Tang Yin had already issued an order that the ministers in the court should stay there.
You have to deal with all the houses in the capital by yourself. If you can buy it, buy it. If you can build it, build it. If you can't buy it or build it, just rent it.
Bringing this up now during the Highlights Festival is a bit of a request for credit.
Tang Yin is not a stingy person, but he can give things to others, but if others take the initiative to ask for it from him, this will make Tang Yin very uncomfortable.
He looked at Gao Liangjie deeply for a long time. For so long, Gao Liangjie thought that Tang Yin was angry and wanted to back down. The latter smiled lightly and said: "It's just a house, it doesn't matter, it's accurate!"
