The first thousand two hundred and seventy-four chapters Chang'an to make
A 3,000-stone ship entered the Liaohe River, and then diverted from the Liaohe River to Bailangshui. Pulled by the trackers, the ship sailed along the Bailangshui towards Liucheng.
On the deck of the big ship, Chen Wenxi, the Minister of Rites, stood on the bow, looking at the white clouds in the distance. The weather was getting a bit hot, and the cabin was relatively stuffy. He came out to blow in the wind and take a breath.
"Damn it, the weather here is so hot!"
Zhang Lei appeared behind Chen Wenxi, with his arms open, swinging a cattail leaf fan, and his face covered with sweat. A fat man like him would sweat profusely at every turn.
Chen Wenxi glanced at Zhang Lei, smiled slightly and said: "Proprietor Zhang didn't think of doing anything to prevent heatstroke and cool down, such as making the cabin a mezzanine and putting some ice cubes in it."
"If we set out from Chang'an now, I would definitely place ice cubes. It's just that it was early spring when we went to Japan and it was very cool. I didn't expect that it would be so hot when we came back after a few months."
"How is Japan doing now?"
"Hey! It's a barbarian land with a small population. If gold, copper and sea pearls weren't cheap there, I really wouldn't want to trade there!"
Chen Wenxi suddenly became interested and asked: "What's the price of gold and copper over there?"
"Let's put it this way! The two guan of goods we have here can be exchanged for one tael of gold in Japan. Copper is ten times cheaper than gold and the same price as silver, but what? They don't have that much supply of gold and silver, so go there
On the other hand, I mainly buy expensive corals, tortoise shells and sea pearls.”
After a moment of silence, Chen Wenxi asked worriedly: "Dr. Zhang, we all know that you have a close personal relationship with His Highness King Jin. Do you think His Highness King Jin will return to Chang'an with me?"
Zhang Lei grinned and said, "Don't worry, he will definitely come back to Chang'an. However, my junior brother has been quite pretentious since he was a child. He will pretend to postpone it. Just ignore him and insist on inviting him a few more times."
"
Chen Wenxi also figured it out at this time. Of course His Highness the King of Jin would refuse, so there was no reason why he would agree to him all at once. Seeing that Zhang Lei's words were interesting, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Dr. Zhang, this is not pretentious, this is
It's a gesture, and he definitely won't agree so eagerly. This is the rule, and I completely understand it."
Zhang Lei blinked and whispered: "Let me give you a trick!"
Chen Wenxi smiled and nodded, "I'm all ears!"
"If he refuses, you immediately send people to Youzhou, send an eagle letter from Youzhou to the court, and ask the Zhengshitang to send a prime minister to Jiangnan to invite the King of Jin to return to the capital!"
"Why go to Jiangnan?" Chen Wenxi asked in confusion.
"Because I will advise him to go to Quanzhou, and then after he inspects Quanzhou, he will go back to Jiangnan. I know what he cares about, so don't worry! You will definitely meet him in Jiangnan, Suzhou or Changzhou."
Chen Wenxi was a little helpless and had to smile bitterly: "Okay! I'll give it a try."
At this time, an observer on the mast held up a telescope and shouted: "Liucheng is here ahead!"
.........
When Chen Wenxi arrived at Liucheng, it was the fourth day after the decisive battle between the Jin army and the Khitan army. The Khitan army was almost completely destroyed. Only thousands of young men on horseback from the Yishi tribe escaped from the battlefield and fled back to their hometown in the north. They saw
The situation was not good. Under the leadership of the chief, he escaped from the battlefield first and escaped the pursuit of the Jin cavalry later. Almost all the other 100,000 troops were killed.
Almost all the young and strong men in the Diela tribe were wiped out. Guo Song then brought hundreds of thousands of women and children belonging to the Yelu tribe in the Diela tribe back to Yingzhou. Some of them were given to soldiers as wives, and the other part were given to Yingzhou's people.
A Han man is a wife.
The remaining tribes were handed over to the Yaonan tribe as agreed, and then the 20,000 Han people in Yingzhou were moved to the land of the Diela tribe.
At this point, the Yelu clan completely disappeared in Liaodong.
Guo Song was discussing the strategy of attacking the Mohe people in the official room with the generals. The Mohe people were mainly divided into three groups: Sumo Mohe, Heishui Mohe and Bohai Kingdom. The later Jurchens were Heishui Mohe, so Guo Song was absolutely against the Heishui Mohe.
Will not be soft-hearted.
Sumo Mohe can be solved by migration, but Guo Song mainly considers how to deal with the Bohae Kingdom. It is best to deal with it according to the Silla model. The Bohae King is elevated and becomes a virtual king, living in Chang'an, and then the Bohae Kingdom becomes a state.
Although Guo Song promised not to deal with Bohai Kingdom for the time being, Bohai Kingdom is now extremely weak and has less than 10,000 standing troops. It is a great opportunity to eliminate them. If a woman is kind enough to let Bohai Kingdom go, they will definitely take the opportunity to annex Heilongjiang.
Shui Mohe and Sumo Mohe have become another serious problem in Liaodong.
So after repeated consideration, Guo Song finally decided to destroy the Bohai Kingdom together, and then expelled the Shiwei people to the grasslands and let the nomads destroy them.
At this time, a soldier reported at the door: "Your Highness, Chen Wenxi, the Minister of Rites, has arrived in Liucheng and asks to see His Highness!"
Guo Song nodded, "Ask him to wait in the hall, I'll be right away!"
Of course Guo Song knew what Chen Wenxi was doing. He had received an express message from the inner guard. The overall situation was now decided, but he couldn't just go back. He had to refuse to ascend the throne. This was a rule. It didn't matter if he refused once or twice.
The key is that he must have this kind of humility.
Guo Song told his subordinates a few words, got up and went to the back hall. Before he reached the back hall, he unexpectedly heard the voice of his senior brother Zhang Lei, speaking of his grandmother's voice, which made Guo Song feel more cordial.
As soon as Guo Song walked into the courtyard, Zhang Lei jumped up and ran over like a gust of wind, "Junior brother, let me declare first that I am escorting Chen Shilang to Liaodong. I met him in Dengzhou."
Guo Song smiled slightly and said: "I won't be angry if you come to Liaodong. It's not too late for me to be happy when I learn that you are back safely."
"That's good, you guys talk first, I'll avoid it for a while."
"No need to avoid it, just sit aside and keep quiet."
At this time, Chen Wenxi walked forward quickly, bowed and saluted, "I am here to see you, Your Highness!"
Guo Song smiled and nodded, "It is gratifying to meet ministers from Chang'an in Liaodong. I am short of manpower here!"
Follow the public account: Book Friends Base Camp, follow and you will get cash and coins!
"Of course Wei Chen must serve His Highness, but Wei Chen shoulders the important responsibility of the political hall and must complete his mission first!"
After speaking, Chen Wenxi took out the joint letter from the six prime ministers and presented it to Guo Song.
Guo Song took the letter and said, "Let's talk about it in the hall!"
He walked up to the inner hall and sat down. Chen Wenxi did not dare to sit down and stood aside with his hands down. Guo Song took a sip of tea and then opened the joint letter. It was a letter of persuasion. On behalf of the officials, the Zhengshitang implored His Highness the King of Jin to return to the capital and ascend the throne.
Emperor, protect the world and the country.
After Guo Song read the letter, he asked: "The Queen Mother also issued an edict?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, the local government voting has also ended. More than 95% of the local officials support His Highness's ascension to the throne, as well as the court officials and the army. His Highness's enthronement is widely expected. I sincerely request Your Highness to return to Beijing as soon as possible."
Guo Song shook his head, "The emperor is still young. Although there are some problems with his mind at the moment, it does not mean that he will always be like this. I suggest that when he grows up, if he really can't do it, he can make his son the emperor. I will serve as regent.
King, you should assist him with all your strength."
Just when Chen Wenxi was about to speak, Guo Song waved his hand, "This is my attitude. Shilang Chen doesn't need to persuade me anymore. You can go back and report it to the Political Affairs Hall!"
Guo Song made a pun. This was just his attitude, not his decision. Chen Wenxi understood immediately. He sighed and said: "The humble minister will go back immediately, but there are too many things in the court and a lot of important affairs have accumulated. I am willing to
Your Highness, please go back and deal with it as soon as possible."
"I know, I won't delay too long, I will go back as soon as possible."
Chen Wenxi was restless, so he stood up and retired. He wanted to rush to Youzhou and report the attitude of His Highness the King of Jin to the court in an eagle letter.
...........
After Chen Wenxi resigned, Zhang Lei stepped forward and said with a smile: "Do you want me to give my junior brother some advice?"
"Tell me! What's your suggestion?"
"I would like to ask my junior brother to go to Quanzhou to see the condition of the Linyi rice seeds sown two years ago."
One sentence reminded Guo Song, and he almost forgot about this important event. He quickly asked: "How is the rice situation?"
"I don't know much about it either. I have never been to Quanzhou. I am traveling on the Japanese route."
Guo Song nodded, "You are not young anymore. It's time to calm down. Senior sister is busy with such a big industry in Chang'an alone. How can you bear it?"
"I understand. I won't go to sea in the future. I will leave the Japanese line to Xiao Wu and I won't care about it."
"How is the child?" Guo Songxiao asked.
"Exactly like his father, he can never sit still and always wants to run outside. His father wants to be an assassin, and he wants to be a maritime merchant. He will go to the Lion Kingdom next year. Now he is completely able to stand alone and has prestige among the crew.
Extremely high, I’m not worried at all.”
Guo Song pondered for a moment. He really didn't need himself to fight the war against Mohe and Shiwei. He didn't even need Li Bing and Pei Xin. It was enough to leave it to Yao Jin alone. He had to ask the court to send more officials. There was a serious shortage of officials here.
He has used all the civilian officers in the army, but there is still a big gap.
"You have a good rest for a few days, I will make arrangements, and then I will go to Quanzhou with you."
