Luoyang Imperial Palace

"My minister Liu Zhang bowed to Your Majesty."

Ye Qing looked at the young man lying under the palace and looked a little dazed.

Shu surrendered, and Shu surrendered for the past years of rent, exempted from taxes in summer and autumn this year, and reduced salt prices. These people naturally wanted to come to Beijing.

It was summer when it was surrendering. In a blink of an eye, the sun faded away and the heat was hot. Autumn came. The later lord Liu Zhang led his entire clan to Luoyang to apologize to the emperor of the new dynasty and express his surrender.

Is this Liu Zhang?

He looked pretty and had a thorough manner when he met him, and he had no ruthlessness. This was a noble family. He had been trained since childhood and had long washed away the aura of the wildness. However, depending on the situation, he was still a little frightened. He was obviously a person who was the king and was afraid that the emperor would be suspicious.

Ye Qing looked at the young man, and his fearful expression seemed to have completely eliminated his royal aura, leaving only a little noble and destiny.

Ye Qing just smiled and was not suspicious of Liu Zhang and Ye Qing. Historical books clearly recorded it. He was a mediocre lord with a bit of a woman's kindness, that's all.

"Get up, give me a seat"

"Thank you Your Majesty" Liu Zhang bowed and sat down. Seeing Ye Qing tracing on the imperial throne, he was suspicious, but he did not dare to disturb him.

"Well, your father has done it, but the Your clan is a descendant of Liu Yu, the King of Lu Gong of the Western Han Dynasty. He has committed some invasion and is not a major rebellion."

"If Marquis Anle can follow the heavens and respond to people, and offer land to surrender, he will be able to punish his merits. I know in my heart, so there is no need to be too frightened."

Ye Qing came to his senses and saw that Liu Zhang was still waiting for him to speak tremblingly. He comforted him with a gentle voice and then ordered his side: "Speaking of it, you and I are both the same clan, and I will give you a family banquet."

With this order, Liu Zhang had to thank him.

At one moment, the eunuch held a box of imperial meals on the table, with seven or eight dishes, neither pretentious nor extravagant, it was indeed a family banquet.

But Liu Zhang's identity was different at this time, so he couldn't enjoy himself. He also paid attention to "no words to eat", so he used a little. Seeing Ye Qing put on the chopsticks, he stood up and thanked him for his gratitude. Ye Qing might have.

After the banquet, Liu Zhang withdrew from the palace and looked at the scenery inside as if disappointed. He was worried. After a long time, he let out a deep breath. He looked at the follower and sighed and said, "Your Majesty is such a generous person. As the saying goes, a benevolent person is invincible, how can he not win the world?"

At this moment, the sky was cloudy and the slightly cool autumn wind swept by. The followers looked at each other, not knowing whether what the master said was true or not, but they all agreed: "This is well-known in the world, and today is indeed generous."

After saying a few words, I felt that the topic could not be in depth, so someone boldly said: "Mr. Marquis, where are you going to play tonight?"

"Oh, where is there fun?" Liu Zhang made an inquiry.

"I heard that Royal Xiyuan has opened a garden to the public and built many restaurants. It's very good. Well, you are the marquis. You could have a 30% discount in the past. It is said that this is the system set by Xiyuan."

"Just go there." Liu Zhang nodded and showed a satisfied expression, with a slight ridiculous smile on his face. He is a royal family, and no matter how mediocre he is, he has basic political common sense.

I am a king who has broken the earth and claimed to be king. Even if I have been surrendered for a few years, I have to show that I am wise to surrender at all times. I am very satisfied with all kinds of enjoyment and treatment. I am happy here, and I am not thinking about Shu.

If you are wise and powerful, good at studying, and good at meeting scholars, you may be "ill" and die of illness.

Just as there was a burst of laughter, a carriage drove into the palace in a low profile.

The autumn wind blows the curtains, showing the woman inside, who is twenty years old, has a beautiful face and simple clothes, and cannot hide her nobleness in her figure.

In the eyes of several female sorcerers who were guarding the side, this woman had a little phoenix style and was far from being formed. But this point shows that her qualifications are good. No wonder Your Majesty is interested...

Liu Zhang could not see his luck, but his familiar and beautiful face shocked him. He recognized his widowed sister-in-law Wu, whom he had admired since childhood. At this time, he could not think of "here is joy here, I don't want to think about Shu". He couldn't help but chase after him for two steps and said in surprise: "Sister-in-law, why..."

Wu Xian was also surprised to see this uncle, and couldn't help but cover his face with his sleeves. He felt ashamed and whispered: "But the emperor has his life and wants me, an ominous person."

Although the beauty was ashamed, she did not resist. She was very calm and she wanted him to calm down. She was not as good as her widow sister-in-law in her impression as chaste and virtuous as she was.

Liu Zhang stood there for a long time, and the young man's feelings were shattered. No matter how rich he was, he still had no strength, and he could not even keep the woman who was eager to keep...

"Go back," he said sadly, the young face could not maintain this "peace", just said.

The attendants looked at each other and said, "Where are you going back? Your Majesty has given you several mansions."

"..." Liu Zhang suppressed his anger and waved his hand. Regardless of whether the person understood it or not, he got into the carriage. At this time, he didn't think about anything, just wanted to be alone and quiet.

The news of "Ha" was quickly passed to Ye Qing's ears, and Ye Qing just smiled.

Wu was originally Liu Bei's wife. If you don't accept her, can you be a big-eared person?

At this point, I have to accept it. Besides, when I go back, Liu Bei will have to give birth to a child. It is impossible for him to have no children. Qianqian and Cao Baijing are inappropriate, and now they have the right person.

As for the fact that Anle Hou came to surrender, it was exaggerated in the newspaper. It has to be said that watching a trick-taking show by the second generation of Wang has been something that the common people have been happy to see since ancient times.

Deprivation of political rights for life is inevitable.

However, due to the face of the Liu family, the court still gave enough respect for etiquette and treatment. This is also a tradition since Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty. As long as Ye Qing did not think about overthrowing the centralized system and establishing a democratic republic, he must respect this tradition.

In fact, Ye Qing is in the path of immortality. As long as social promotion provides sufficient resources, he will not be able to care about these details.

Besides, Democratic Republic is a pretentious thing, what does it mean to him Ye Qing?

The first five-year plan of the New Han Dynasty is about to end this winter. The farming is about to restore its prosperity to the Eastern Han Dynasty. The task taken by the court is to dig out the hidden population from local tyrants, which means to rely on the family. It is useless to force the collection. In order to evade labor and taxes, many people would rather be slaves of high-ranking families so that they can survive better.

But the times are changing, and the progress of the Taoist industry will bring great population demand. With the second five-year plan to build railway transportation and the associated fire spirit steam engine workshop, a torrent of labor demand will eventually be formed, and these populations can be excavated, because it will be more beneficial to work as a slave.

In the past five years, the population has not yet recovered its prosperity. The overall fortune has surpassed the Eastern Han Dynasty in the old days, and a light green color appears in the national atmosphere. Although only a little bit, Ye Qing knew that this was the beginning of the Taoist industrial revolution... This was just the beginning, so if it was not solid, it would probably take three hundred years to truly solidify.

This is just Ye Qing’s expectation, and it may not be so smooth in reality.

Once the torrent of the times is opened, it will be difficult for anyone to stop it. Some people must have felt this pressure. What will they choose?

"I heard Nuwa's meaning recently. Because of the great social potential, the original saints gradually looked at each other. But if you don't say it directly, there is clearly another level, and you are all sitting there watching the result of the confrontation between me and the grassland."

The final showdown is coming

In recent years, the conflict between the north and south of the border has gradually expanded, and both sides are grazing grass valleys. By the beginning of spring this year, the strange calm has come, and the little bit of abnormal movements on the grassland has spread to Luoyang.

The fact that the establishment of the country was called "Northern Wei" was accompanied by the warnings of Guo Jia from Jizhou and Zhuge Liang from Liaodong that they believed that the establishment of the country was a big problem.

Ye Qing agreed with this very much. After several meetings were held in the palace all night, he converted the order.

"I ordered Chen Deng to join Shu as the governor of Yizhou and the prefect of Ba County. He was appointed for five years and was responsible for the management and restoration of agriculture that had been damaged by war for several years..."

"Transfer Zhao Yun, Lu Xun, Lu Meng, Wei Yan's generals, and most of the Northern Army..."

Looking back to the north, the clear and spacious sky made Ye Qing feel cheerful and calm.

Autumn is coming, the cold wind on the ice field is about to move south, and horses on the grassland have gained weight, so as to cool weather. The high autumn is the time when the Hu cavalry gallops around.

In the same autumn, crops are harvested from south to north, with abundant storage and farmers getting rest. It is the day to sharpen their guns and learn to bow.

Nature has formed a wonderful balance that has made countless people unable to struggle through the ages and cannot be promoted.

But there are always people who seek to go further to the next level, and few people can be promoted individually from society, so they have to carry on the world, grasp the general trend, and have a momentum of rise and fall.

"...It's time to meet Nuwa, and she will show off to the saints."

Western Paradise Cave

The hall emits thousands of auspicious lights, but they cannot block the huge golden body on the platform. The soft golden light shines down, and it complements the thousands of auspicious lights, and it is indescribable holy.

A light golden disciple bowed and reported: "The Northern Wei mobilized a large army of 400,000. The letter of the country was passed on to Luoyang and asked for tribute to surrender."

Speaking of this, the disciple looked at the saint's face above: "After the messenger conveyed the letter of war, he had to say more, and was interrupted by the Emperor of Han."

"The Emperor of Han said, let's fight."

After hearing this, everyone in the hall looked at each other and was silent. After a long time, another person said, "I have to admit that Emperor Han Yan Yi was determined and extremely wise."

"In just six years, the Han Dynasty's energy has increased by a certain amount. Judging from its policies, it seems that the leaders of the Han and Yi families were constantly attacking the frontiers. A small group of tribes have surrendered and paid tribute. How can the Northern Wei compare to it? It's just that the southern invaders are not allowed to have a chance. Time is on the Han court."

Among the people, the public opinion of the world's determination has not lasted. The Han court's policies are precipitating and gathering. Just like the army needs fresh prey, the people are thriving and need to continuously expand new areas, either land, industry, and infrastructure construction for labor-for-relief.

They are all disciples of saints, and they also have this objective perspective. They all clearly realize that the Northern Wei Dynasty's move was a forced one.

"After the order of Emperor Han, the newspapers and the government were mobilizing quickly. It seemed that they had the experience last time. This mobilization period was lengthened and divided into mobilization preparation and formal mobilization, which may minimize the pressure on people's livelihood." A disciple bowed and said again.

"If this continues, the endurance will be very long. Although Murong Zheng officially formed the Black Dragon, his time is still short, and his essence is empty but not real."

"Master, the Han Dynasty has pacified Shu, and its momentum is as strong as the sun. Seeing that the war is good at bleeding, if you continue to confront each other for a long time, you are afraid that the grassland will not be able to hold on first."

After the discussion, the disciples put together: "The situation is like this, where can we go? It is up to the master to decide.

In the golden body, he emitted billions of golden light, with great tranquility and great silence. At this time, he was silent for a long time and finally spoke.

"No need to worry, it's best to hold on, it's better not to hold on. Murong Zheng is just a chess piece."

The Western saint said calmly: "A supportive attitude, using Murong Zheng to build the line of the Northern Wei Dynasty on the ground, and using this matter to be accepted by the golden vein is the goal. And taking advantage of the decline of the Cai Dynasty's earth vein, we can still compete for sovereignty on the earth. This is all opportunity."

"For the Blood Wolf Army, it can be clearly stated that these people cannot go back to the ground and can only live in this life on the ground. Whether they die in battle or beds when they are old, they will be on the list in the end."

"Each saints have a tacit understanding of this, and Murong Zheng also knows this."

"Murong is going to compete with the Emperor of Han, and I have already obtained what I want."

"This is the limitation of Ye Qing and Murong Zheng. Although they are heroes or heroes, they are not destiny, but just playful."

"But there are risks in this fun. Ye Qing applied for a truce order in the Heavenly Court on the ground, and the truce for half a year to ensure safety. The time to go down to the ground is more than twenty years."

"When the time comes, you have to return to the ground, otherwise it will be difficult to ensure that the foundation is not being watched. This deadline is Ye Qing's weakness in the soil. Murong Zheng only needs to last twenty years, or have a chance."

"Sometimes, some failures, and I will sit and watch it, collect it and take it."

"The saints also made this view."

The disciples suddenly realized that the Emperor of Han was so wise and magical, and with the will of heaven, the saints dared not extend their hands for a while, but Ye Qing would eventually return to the ground. For the rest of the year, are you still afraid that there will be no chance?

From this perspective, Western saints are not in a hurry, and all saints are not in a hurry.

There is no need to bet the fundamental life-and-death bet on Murong Zheng.
