The Red House starts from Liaodong

Jinzhou.

In a courtyard, dozens of clerks fiddled with the abacus, and the sound of beads colliding was pleasant to the ear.

"Ningyuan distributed grain from Tianjin last year. The total amount for the whole year was [-], beans [-], and cloth [-] dan..."

"Ningyuan was distributed by the capital last year, with a total of [-] for the whole year, [-] beans, and [-] dans of cloth." From time to time someone sang, and the people on the side wrote like nothing.

"Last year, Suizhong distributed grain from Tianjin, totaling 1 for the whole year, [-] beans, and [-] dans of cloth..."

There are ledgers and general ledgers, and the division of labor and cooperation makes the whole yard seem busy, and there are endless people sending in and out of the ledger.

King Zhongshun is leaving Liaoxi.

Before leaving, he ordered his subordinates to make a clear calculation of the huge possessions in Liaoxi, so that they can be handed over to the latecomers.

The handover is meticulous, leaving no excuses for latecomers.

King Zhongshun, who was nearly 70 years old, left quietly without disturbing everyone, feeling a little bit sad and relieved.

When he came to western Liaoning, people in western Liaoning were panicked, military households were displaced, and the chaos became a mess. After several years of hard work, he finally built a stable and stable western Liaoning.

For many years, the army and soldiers who have withheld food and pay for Beizhen are now only on the register, with [-] military households and more than [-] soldiers on the register.

Behind the west of Liaoning is Shanhaiguan, and there are many military forts in the territory, which can be said to be impenetrable. Even if the Jinjiang army comes to attack, Liaoxi has the power to defend.

"My lord."

Commander Liu Ying, Zhao Yong, General Li Jian, Zhu Zhenjie, Ning Longxiong and other dozens of generals stood up to greet King Zhongshun when they saw him coming in.

King Zhongshun, who was nearly 70 years old, finally showed a gentle smile on his usually stern face, and sat straight to the main seat.

"The king will leave Liaoxi in a few days. I hope that all my colleagues will continue to work hard. You will be a saint at the top and the common people at the bottom. Together, we will repay the country's kindness."

"Here."

The crowd shook hands.

No matter who is present, there may be people who are dissatisfied with King Zhongshun, but absolutely no one will be dissatisfied with King Zhongshun's ability.

Liu Ying, as the oldest commander in chief, took the initiative to kowtow to King Zhongshun.

Under his leadership, the house knelt on the ground, showing respect and respect to King Zhongshun.

Back then, Liaoxi suffered successive defeats and the situation was critical. How many people secretly contacted the barbarians, and how many people quietly took refuge in Ping Liaohou.

On the bright side, the Liaoxi of the imperial court has actually been penetrated into a sieve. Anyone can mobilize Liaoxi and influence the generals of Liaoxi.

The imperial court has a lot of money and food, and if one point is used more here, one point is less in another place.

Only King Zhongshun had the ability to ask for money and food from the court, and only he had the ability. At least [-]% of the money and food sent from the capital fell to the west of Liaoning.

Similarly, only under his strong pressure, [-]% of the money and food, at least [-]% fell to the frontline soldiers.

To reverse the decadent atmosphere in western Liaoning, it must be King Zhongshun.

"I know some of you are scolding this king in your heart, wishing that this king would leave Liaoxi as soon as possible, and hope that this king will leave."

King Zhongshun was not polite to the generals.

When he first came to Liaoxi, he was kind to people, but as he gained more control over Liaoxi, his attitude became stricter.

Virtue is the only thing to do, never cronyism.

Even the people brought from China are full of talents, such as Tumen, but his own children were not promoted.

Dedicated to the public, in addition to justice or justice.

No one does not admire King Zhongshun.

King Zhongshun was not a radical person, and he did not do anything wrong in western Liaoning. He not only took care of the real situation, but also promoted government affairs.

The feats of thousands of Liaoxi Army in suppressing bandits in the country also indirectly prove the changes of the Liaoxi Army over the years.

And the Liaoxi Army has never been a weak army.

The army of the Great Zhou spent the most money and food in the nine important towns, where the elite soldiers of the Great Zhou were located, and Liaoxi Town was the first among the nine important towns.

The Liaoxi Army, which consumes the most money and food, should have the strongest combat effectiveness.

The four thousand Liaoxi iron cavalry played the prestige of the Liaoxi military town in the country, and let the court officials know that the money and food that poured into the sky were not wasted.

King Zhongshun was reluctant to part with Liaoxi.

It's not because he is reluctant to bear power, if it was for self-interest, he would have promoted his own children.

It is precisely because of his justice that the suspicious nephew, the emperor, did not suspect him too much.

Liaoxi has been his painstaking effort for many years, and he finally achieved what he has achieved today. He hopes that the latecomers can maintain it.

same.

He sternly warned everyone.

"Even if this king leaves Liaoxi, he will still pay attention to Liaoxi. Whoever dares to do evil, be harsh on the sergeant, and destroy the situation in Liaoxi, this king will never let him go."

"The end will not dare."

The crowd replied.

soon.

King Zhongshun drove out of Shanhaiguan and returned to the capital to face the saint.

……

Beijing.

The eunuch Xia Shouzhong, the chief inspector of ceremonies, Qiu Shian, the eunuch inspected by the prime minister, Bo Niu Jizong, the first-class son Hou Liufang, the third-rank Weizhen general Chen Ruiwen, the third-rank Weiyuan general Ma Shang, the first-class son Hou Xiaokang, the concubine Lu Zhongheng...

A group of civil and military honorable eunuchs, by the order of the emperor, went out of the city for twenty miles to meet King Zhongshun.

King Zhongshun, who is nearly 70 years old, has a sword that is not old, and his voice is loud and deafening, which makes people amazed.

"Today's situation in western Liaoning is due to the merits of King Loyalty and Obedience."

Xia Shouzhong became more and more powerful, but he didn't dare to offend King Zhongshun. Instead, he flattered him with a flattering face.

King Zhongshun hurriedly shirked the blame.

"It's not the work of this king alone, but thanks to the support of the court officials, this king has the confidence to do whatever he wants. It's the emperor's sage and the court's contribution."

"Even so, only the lord can bring Liaoxi into order."

The first class Bo Niu Jizong said disapprovingly, and tried his best to elevate King Zhongshun in front of the civil servants.

King Zhongshun didn't get involved.

Over the past hundred years, the Zhou Dynasty has experienced ups and downs in its development process.

At the beginning of the big week.

The commander-in-chief was appointed as Wujue, who commanded and controlled the troops of the capital guards in the area, and had the duties of supervising the settlement, managing the horse administration, rectifying the city defense equipment, participating in civil and military officials, and interfering with the military justice, etc., with extensive and noble powers.

For example, the Jia Mansion served as the Beijing Camp Jiedu Envoy.

After the Supreme Emperor ascended the throne, the power of the general army was gradually broken down by civil officials such as governors, inspectors, censors, officials, and doctors.

After the Supreme Emperor abdicated and took control of the court behind the scenes, the remaining duty of the commander-in-chief was mainly to lead the troops in combat.

It is clearly stipulated that "if you manage the border affairs, dispatch the generals and officers of the towns as appropriate, and take care of them, this is the duty of the governor; prepare the wounded soldiers, train the soldiers and horses, supervise the grain and grass, and comfort the soldiers, this is the duty of the governor; Military preparations, strict orders, invigorating the army, and defending with cameras, this is the duty of the commander-in-chief" and is subject to restraint and supervision by the governor.

When the emperor was in charge, he was even stricter on the honors, and the civil servants completely seized power from the honors, and there were very few honors with real power.

The exile of Lin Ruhai, the censor of Yanyan, the idleness of Wang Ziteng, etc.

It's a pity that time is also fate.

As the domestic wars became more frequent, the power of the nobles was gradually restored, and some generals did not listen to the restraint of civil servants.

For example, Beizhen Jiedushi of Jinxiang Houfu.

What's more, King Zhongshun was the leader of the nobles, but he took back the post of Liaodong Economic Strategy from the civil servants.

The civil servants and military generals competed for power more and more fiercely.

King Zhongshun chose to back down.

His successor, the new Liaodong economic strategist, was born as a civil servant. The reason why he made such a concession was to ease the civil and military dispute.

At the same time, I was also worried.

As the Wufu's power grows stronger, the control over the army becomes stronger, and if it is not restrained, it will not be conducive to the court in the long run.

With a Marquis of Ping Liao, he didn't want to see the appearance of a second Marquis of Ping Liao.

Back then, it was because Jinzhou was not under the control of the governor that Ping Liaohou became more and more domineering, and the imperial court raised tigers, which made it difficult today.

If it wasn't for the honorable Shi Nai's laissez-faire, but Wei Yi, a civil official in Liaodong Jinglue, would never let Tang Qing'an take charge of Jinjiang Town.

Tang Qing'an was able to become the only husband of Jinzhou, thanks to the honorable Shi Nai.

The nobles hoped that King Zhongshun would favor them, and the civil servants looked on coldly. Finally, seeing that King Zhongshun was lukewarm and did not respond to the attitude of the nobles, some officials relaxed their attitude towards King Zhongshun.

King Zhongshun sighed inwardly.

The state affairs are in such a situation, and the party struggle is becoming more and more fierce. The state affairs are not important, and the power struggle is the most important. The Zhongshun King, who has been away from the court for a long time, only feels worried.

King Zhongshun went to Beijing for one thing only.

rule Liao.

rule Liao.

rule Liao.

"Marquis Ping Liao has ten crimes."

King Zhongshun said firmly in front of the emperor.

"One crime and one crime"

"Two crimes of empty soldiers and risking their fullness"

"Three crimes appoint private individuals."

"The four crimes are bribing the dignitaries and colluding with officials."

"Five crimes against North Korea."

"The six crimes arbitrarily open frontier quarrels."

"The seven crimes threaten endlessly, and they are rare goods in Liaodong."

"Eight crimes secretly linked overseas."

"The Nine Sins of Deceiving the King"

"Ten crimes to create a counter-rebellion"

The emperor looked at the white-haired uncle, and before he could express his emotions, he heard the impeachment of the uncle, and was at a loss for a while.

Marquis Ping Liao hangs alone overseas, and it is a tacit understanding between the two sides to listen to the tune and not to listen to the announcement.

Some people in the court opposed Ping Liaohou, while others supported Ping Liaohou.

He thinks that today's domestic situation is full of rebellion, and instead of inciting Ping Liaohou, he should be drawn in, and Ping Liaohou has never corrupted the border.

If it was a one-sided opposition to Marquis Ping Liao, the imperial court had already set the tone, but because many people denied it, the imperial court has never had a unified statement on Jinjiang Town.

When the barbarians were powerful, some people believed that the old slaves should be ordered to An, and gained a lot of support.

Compared with the barbarians, there are more people who support Ping Liaohou.

The nobles and ministers in the capital don't mention it, but the voices of Ping and Liaohou in the localities are not small, especially in Jianghuai and Jinling.

However, the imperial court lacked skills and weak national power, so they adopted a tacit attitude, as long as Marquis Ping and Liao did not make trouble, they would ignore him for the time being.

Leaving the next generation to solve the problem, Marquis Ping Liao has high talent and high prestige, but the next generation may not be able to maintain Jinjiang Town.

After all, the root cause is the inability to deal with it, and a compromise is adopted.

King Zhongshun pierced the illusion in front of the emperor.

"Jinjiang Town controls the grasslands in the north, and it is difficult to coerce North Korea. It controls Nuergan in the east, with more than [-] soldiers under its command. Everyone in Liaodong only knows the Marquis of Ping Liao, but not the court."

"If you don't rebel today, you will rebel in the future. When Tang Qing'an rebels, it will be too late to regret."

King Zhongshun said firmly.

He only knows Ping Liaohou, but not the imperial court.King Zhongshun's words hurt the emperor.

"When Mr. Feng Ge left his post, he once told me that to govern the Liao Dynasty, the internal affairs should be governed first. If the refugees are not dealt with first, the Liao Dynasty cannot be governed."

The emperor sighed.

"The riots are endless. Whenever I receive good news and think that the riots will be quelled, within a few months, new troubles will arise."

"Last year, I was one year old, and I am sincerely looking forward to it. The most important thing in everything is to suppress the thieves. More than a hundred thousand elite soldiers have surrounded Sichuan. The achievements of one year have paid off. The emperor's uncle has made great achievements in rectifying the west of Liaoxi. Today, the three major battalions will be continued. When the emperor's uncle has succeeded The day is the time to govern Liao."

"I heard that Tang Qing'an has an army of more than 50. I will gather [-] elite soldiers from all over the country to enter Liao to see if I can rule Liao."

King Zhongshun was overjoyed.

Although the nephew has a weak personality, he has not become a king of enjoyment. In the eyes of King Zhongshun, he is already a wise king.

There are more than 13 elite soldiers in western Liaoning, [-] elite soldiers in the three major battalions, and [-] Zhejiang soldiers and Sichuan soldiers in Shanhaiguan, a total of [-].

There are more than [-] elite soldiers in Gyeonggi, Shaanxi, Ningxia, Guyuan, and other places in Sichuan, and more than [-] local braves are being recruited.

50 soldiers flattened Jinjiang Town. Since then, the whole country has stopped fighting, and they have cultivated their health and rest for ten years, and won a peaceful and prosperous age.

"Your majesty is wise, and my subjects will die without hesitation."

King Zhongshun was moved.

After leaving the palace, King Zhongshun hosted a banquet for nobles from all walks of life and civil servants from all walks of life, trying his best to ease the conflict between the two sides.

I don't mention the results, but everyone can see King Zhongshun's intentions.

virtuous king.

King Zhongshun went to Tianjin to take up his post with his great reputation.

Longshan Day Camp, Laishan Day Camp, Tianjin Day Camp, and various guard forts.

Zhou Chuyuan, Zuo Lixian, Wu Zhaoyuan, Zhao Hongfan, Wang and his wife, dozens of generals, have already arrived at the Governor's Yamen in Tianjin to meet them.

The entire courtyard was crowded with people, not only generals, but also officials from the governor's office, and Tumen was among them.

King Zhongshun was wearing a royal robe, and slowly walked out of the room.

"See Your Majesty."

Everyone knelt on the ground.

"My king, I am ordered to supervise the three battalions and investigate military affairs in Tianjin and Shandong."

King Zhongshun is full of aura, people only hear his voice, his mind is in a trance, pressure rises, no one dares to speak out.

Today's prestige is not only because King Zhongshun is the emperor's uncle.

One step at a time, doing things in every detail, has achieved today's achievements, which is admired by thousands of people, and his identity is the icing on the cake.

King Zhongshun arrived at the Three Great Battalions, representing the center of gravity of the imperial court, and also transferred to the Three Great Battalions.

"The military affairs of the three battalions have not been cleared for a day, and this king will not leave the three battalions for a day. He vows to stay with the military affairs forever, and there is no reason to stop."

To govern politics, govern people first, and to govern people, govern people first.

King Yu Zhongshun knew all the cumbersome matters of the army's long-standing malpractices, and he was able to grasp them with his profound experience.

Such is the atmosphere that no one is willing to voluntarily give up the benefits they have obtained.

Everyone does this, why don't you take it yourself.

If you don't take it yourself, everyone will take it. Not only will you make people laugh, you will suffer alone, but you will also offend your superiors and colleagues, making it difficult to move forward.

This is the evil of evil wind.

If you don't get rid of evils, it's hard to correct people's hearts, and if people's hearts are not right, everything will be empty.

In the courtyard, a group of people in official uniforms were overwhelmed and did not dare to come out.

Everyone has a clue, but if they have a clue, they will not have enough confidence in their hearts. Facing the upright and powerful King Zhongshun, it is like a mouse seeing a cat, and it is naturally shorter.

That being the case, you will feel fear in your heart, and when you have fear, you will not dare to resist, and you will be obedient and have no courage to answer.

The old and energetic King Zhongshun looked at his subordinates firmly.

If he can cure Liaoxi, he can cure the three camps.

Tumen was very excited.

Just like the principles of Confucianism, people have spiritual pursuits, and spiritual satisfaction is more self-forgetful than material satisfaction.

Didn't I just worship King Zhongshun's charisma and have worked hard for many years to serve King Zhongshun.

"Whether it is to honor the ancestors, or to hope that the lights of the people's families will always be bright, you should work together with this king and live up to the country's grace."

King Zhongshun said.

"Here."

Everyone agreed in unison.
