Fu Song

Chapter 462 Changes
Dong Xian has become extremely irritable and irritable now, and his favorite thing is killing people!
It's a dreaded hobby.

Dong Xian was not like this a year ago.

At that time, Master Dong was approachable, courteous and virtuous, and he was very popular in the imperial court.

The Gao family seeks the country, and Dong Xian fled to Weichu Mansion. It is precisely because he is still extremely popular that he can gather a considerable number of people in Weichu Mansion to fight against Gao Yingde.

At that time, Dong Xian's family was ruined, and all the direct descendants of his family in Shanchan Mansion were slaughtered by the Gao family. Although he was sad, Dong Xian was still a leader who could listen to advice.

The death of Gao Yingde made the anti-Gao forces unprecedentedly swell, and also made Dong Xian's strength rise rapidly.

Under his leadership, Shanchan Mansion was breached.

In turn, the Gao family was completely killed by him, except for one Gao Yingxiang.

Dong Xian, who returned to Shanchan's mansion, suddenly had unparalleled prestige.

Especially under his leadership, Dong Xian's strength reached its peak after the allied forces defeated Gao Yingxiang who had returned with an aggressive army.

Duan Tiande, an offshoot of the Duan family, was re-established as emperor. Duan Xing, who was only twelve years old at the time, was just a puppet sitting on the throne, and all government affairs came from Dong Xian.

Originally, this was nothing, as before when Duan Zhengxing was in power, Gao Yingde took care of all the government affairs, the role of the emperor was only to say the last sentence after Gao Yingde played the last book, or it was a human-shaped stamp , responsible for stamping a stamp on the will drawn up by Gao Yingde.

In fact, this matter was also done by the eunuch.

The emperor just watched the whole time.

At that time, Dong Xian had nothing on the surface, but in his heart, he was extremely envious of Gao Yingde's power.

He also wanted to have such a day.

Now, he has.

However, the allies who helped overthrow the Gao family didn't want to do this.

Everyone finally overthrew the Gao clan that was on their heads, and in the end, your Dong clan wanted to take over from the Gao clan, and you also wanted to suppress us so that we could not stand up?
This doesn't work.

Things are done together by everyone, so now the government naturally has to be managed by everyone.

The Dali Chaotang originally imitated the Song Dynasty, and also set up the Political Affairs Hall and the Privy Council.

In the past, Gao Yingde was the chief assistant of the Political Affairs Hall and the Privy Council's privy councilors, holding the military and political power with one hand.

Now Dong Xian also wants to do the same, so naturally everyone disagrees.

You can only pick one.

Among the coalition forces, the most powerful, and the one who contributed the most in the anti-Gao war was the Mu clan of Tengchong Prefecture. The head of the Mu clan, Mu Zheng, hoped to get one of the two.

The leaders of the other [-] or so ministries were naturally happy to see someone quarreling with Dong Xian, and everyone agreed with it. It seems that decentralization has become an inevitable trend.

However, Dong Xian had a sudden attack on a rainy night.

He led the confidant army to attack the Mu family's army in Tengchong Prefecture. In a panic, Muzheng escaped with only a hundred of his confidantes, but he didn't dare to stay any longer, and fled back to Tengchong in a hurry.

This time, it frightened the other ministries.

Dong Xian grasped the military and political affairs.

As for whether the other ministries are convinced or not, no one knows.

However, at this time, Dong Xian received strong support from Weichu Mansion, Nongdong Mansion, Shicheng County, and Xiushan County, especially the frontier army that he tried every means to reverse during the half-year war, and became his biggest force. rely on.

Dong Xian became the prime minister with great power, and the other ministries and towns who contributed their efforts naturally also received corresponding rewards. Anyway, this time the imperial court went through two major purges in a row, and the number of officials has gone from ten to seven. desire.

As long as your requirements are not excessive, everything can be satisfied.

For the guy who can't fill his desires, you can refer to Mu Zheng who fled in a panic.

Dali seems to have returned to calm again.

But is it really peaceful?

Huichuan is still in the hands of Gao Yingxiang.

Gao Yingxiang still has tens of thousands of troops in his hands.

Gao Yingxiang is known as the number one general in Dali, not only because he was Gao Yingde's son, but also because he has unique military abilities.

It is not an easy task to clean him up.

Of course, in Dong Xian's eyes, no matter how outstanding Gao Yingxiang's ability is, he is doomed to be wiped out as a lonely man with few soldiers and few financial resources.

I am not in a hurry to kill him, but I also want to use this common enemy to stabilize the court first.

As long as Gao Yingxiang is still alive, most of the more than [-] leaders in Dali will undoubtedly stand on his side, because their knives were also stained with blood when they entered the Shanchan Mansion.

Even those who didn't want to be stained with blood had no choice but to get Gao's and Sheng's blood on their knives in the end. This was an unsolved blood feud.

Even if Gao Yingxiang generously stated that he would not pursue the matter, people must believe it!

Gao Yingxiang is a cancer, which needs to be solved next.

The second mutual tumor is naturally Muzheng who fled back.

The Mu family who controls Tengchong Mansion, Tiangao Emperoryuan, was not very convinced of Gao Yingde before, and Dong Xian was even less convinced.This time Muzheng made great efforts to overthrow the Gao clan's forces, but Dong Xian almost took his head. Naturally, he was extremely angry. After returning, he gathered forces and claimed that he would send troops to the Qing Dynasty again to punish traitors.

It's just that for a while, not many people are willing to talk to him.

After all, at this time, Dong Xian was in the limelight.

If you talk about these things, Dong Xian doesn't care too much, and thinks that they can all be solved, but how to appease the world, how to make the people return to their hometowns and return to the previous track is not an easy task.

A year of melee has plunged the entire territory of Dali into the flames of war.

Last year, spring plowing was basically abandoned, and as a result, the whole country has fallen into a food shortage.

With no food in hand, I panicked.

The war was devastated, the soldiers were turned into bandits, the taxes were increased, the officials were exploited, and the people who destroyed their families were countless.

You only need to stand on the city wall of Shanchan Mansion, take a look outside, and see the number of simple shacks erected by the densely packed fleeing people, and you can imagine the seriousness of the matter.

This is still in the capital, Shanchan Mansion in the first good place, the situation in other places is probably worse.

Conquering the world is easy, but ruling the world is difficult.

When he really sat in this position and faced countless problems that came up, Dong Xian suddenly realized that Gao Yingde, the prime minister, did not seem to be easy.

And now, it was his turn to have a headache.

Not in his position, not looking for his own politics, he used to be able to sneer at Gao Yingde in the court, but now when it was his turn, he realized that there were some problems that really couldn't be solved.

It's not that others can do it, you can do it yourself.

After being in power for several months, Dong Xian suddenly realized a problem, that is, Gao Yingde's ability to deal with political affairs is really beyond his own reach.

This realization annoyed him.

When one's ability is insufficient and one cannot properly think of other effective ways to solve the problem, killing seems to be the easiest way.

So Dong Xian sacrificed this sharp weapon, and killed people's heads rolling, killing people in panic.

Amidst the blood, the imperial court completely fell silent.

Dong Xian thinks that he has controlled the entire country, and the next step is to plan to eliminate Gao Yingxiang, the trouble in his heart.

It won't work this winter.

Next spring, we must finish the spring planting first.

After the spring sowing, it's time to send troops.

After taking down Gao Yingxiang, he turned around and settled accounts with Muzheng.

But as for Muzheng, it's better to discuss the solution.

After all, the place in Tengchong has been operated for hundreds of years. If they really want to fight, the chances of winning are not great.Unlike the overthrow of the Gao family, if you want to destroy the Tengchong Mansion and the Thirty-seven Departments of Dali, I am afraid that not many people will support you.

In Dong Xian's view, Gao Yingxiang is at the end of his rope.

It's just that he never thought about it, or he didn't want to think about it, what would Gao Yingxiang do after he pushed Gao Yingxiang to a dead end?
But when he was eager to seize power and suppress other government ministries, things had quietly changed.

Xiao Cheng has always looked down on a person who is unwilling to look at the external situation when he is fighting for power and profit in the country.

If Dong Xian hadn't been eager to integrate the internal affairs but mustered up Yu Yong to go after Gao Yingxiang desperately first, Xiao Cheng would still think highly of him.

Because if this is the case, Xiao Cheng has no choice but to go into battle shirtless.

But this creates a new problem.

That is, the Song Army on Guizhou Road is likely to make all the ministries of Dali unite to fight.

In the eyes of these people, Song Jun is the invader.

But it's different now.

Under Dong Xian's round of operations, everyone's hearts were scattered.

Now they basically went back to their respective homes, each looking for their own mothers, Dong Xian wanted to bring them together again, but it was difficult.

And because things dragged on, the consequences of the one-year chaos in Dali have slowly manifested everywhere.

People are not living.

This made it easy for people in many places to miss the good days when Gao Yingde was in power, when everyone had food, clothes, and houses to live in.

Whether Gao Yingde rebelled or became emperor is too far away from these little people. They only know that when Gao was in power, everyone had food to eat, but now that Dong is in power, everyone has nothing to eat.

There is no harm without comparison.

Coupled with the manipulative manipulation by those with a heart, this world is actually not what it used to be.

With a bang, a pair of bare feet stepped into the mud, splashing countless yellow muddy water, and a pair of big hands pulled open a fence in front of the shack, and the big man saw a woman and two children shivering together inside. trembling.

It has been more than ten days since I escaped, and the two children are skinny, while the woman has begun to swell.

The man took out a few small bright red things from his arms and handed them to the woman. They were a few newly born little mice.

"I didn't catch the big one!" The big man said apologetically, "You can fiddle with this one, just use it."

The woman took the gadgets tremblingly, the stomachs of the two children gurgled and the sound of swallowing saliva made the big man upset.

He didn't enter the shack, but closed the fence door again, and squatted in front of the shack.

If it goes on like this, they will all die.

After thinking for a long time, he suddenly got up, went to a tree next to the shack, and dug vigorously. After a while, a saber with a sheath appeared in his hand. He continued to dig, and another bundle came out. leather, which contained several pieces of armor.

He used to be a defeated soldier who fled back to his hometown after being defeated.

He took off his armor and put down his knife. He originally wanted to spend time farming with his wife.

He took a deep breath, and then walked towards another shack not far away.

After a while, a similarly thin man came out, holding a thick stick in his hand.

When night fell, behind the man, hundreds of such men had already followed.

It was night, they climbed over the city wall and entered the city.

By the time the officers and soldiers arrived, these people had already fled into the deep mountains with the things they robbed.

All that was left to the officers and soldiers was blood, corpses and the panicked city people.

All the food that could be eaten at home and the clothes that could keep out the cold were all taken away.

The home of a rich gentry in the city was ransacked and even everyone was killed.

This is not an exception.

In Dali, such things happen almost all the time.

Reports of banditry from all over the place flooded into Shanchan's mansion and onto Dong Xian's desk like a tide.

Spring is here, and spring plowing has begun.

The busy spring plowing started in Jianchang Mansion. The Song army stationed there put down their weapons, rolled up their sleeves and rolled up their trouser legs in units of battalions. This made the people of Jianchang Mansion who had just joined Guizhou Road panic.

They have not seen such formation.

Huichuan Mansion also started spring plowing, and the people had a difficult winter. They thought that spring would come, and the spring famine would be more sad, but they found out that the government actually distributed food to everyone.

Although it is a loan, the loan with only one cent interest makes everyone feel like they are in a dream.

Borrow a bucket of grain in spring, and return a bucket of grain in autumn. This is the price of conscience and kindness that everyone has never seen before!
Not only are rations borrowed, seeds can also be borrowed on credit, and livestock can be rented.

Anyway, after one winter, the people in the countryside of Huichuan Prefecture found that all the officials who were in charge of them had changed, and those who came were people they didn’t know. next to the person who came.

The new officials are very fierce to these old officials, but they are smiling when they treat the common people like them.

These good deeds were all done by these new officials. All of a sudden, everyone's favorability for these people rose.

The hope planted in spring,

What is harvested in autumn is the fruit.

Everyone seems to have an inexhaustible energy. The despair in winter last year feels like a lifetime away now.

Days seem to be getting better!

The change in Huichuan Mansion is naturally because the current Huichuan is no longer the Huichuan of Dali, but has become the Huichuan of the Song Dynasty.

Officials from Guizhou Road took over the grassroots government affairs in Huichuan.

The original officials were demoted to the next level and served as deputy first. What will happen in the future will naturally depend on their performance during this period of time.

If they perform well, Xiao Cheng has plenty of places to put them.

Now the right is to train them. When the army moves and sweeps Dali, these trained officials will naturally be reused one by one.

Of course, this also depends on the nature of the individual.

For example, there have been people who were resentful and refused to work because they were downgraded to a level and lost their positions for no reason. Now they have been stripped clean and gone home to play in the mud.
