Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 540 Huang Zongxi (V)
a few days later
Everyone gathered in the meeting room again. When they saw Yan Ji's new plan for the reform of the parliamentary system, many representatives had already approved it in their hearts, and only a few extremely tough people still refused to agree.

"Yan's parliament can be divided into the noble council and the common people's council. The noble council remains the same, and the common people's council elects a representative for each city. All affairs of the country need to be jointly ruled by the two councils. Every commoner The term of office of representatives shall be ten years."

Yan Ji's plan can be said to take care of not only the nobles who want to be hereditary, but also the guilds who want to enter the ruling class.

Although it is said that each city can elect a representative, the ones who can be elected are naturally the spokespersons of the wealthy businessmen of the guild. Ordinary people do not have this energy.

"I think this proposal is acceptable, what do you think?" A representative asked Huang Zongxi.

"What belongs to us has already been won. Next, the butcher should be expelled. We can't let the butcher hurt our country anymore." Huang Zongxi nodded and replied.

It was another heated debate. After the two sides argued with each other, those representatives who disagreed with life and death found that those other representatives who originally supported them no longer supported them today.

With the consent of the vast majority, the reform plan was passed, and then submitted to the various nobles.

During this period, Yan Ji did not forget to remind the nobles about the information on the front line, so that they would stop stalking them in order to keep the power in their hands.

"Are we going to be like King Zhou of Shang, who would rather be destroyed by foreign enemies than give up the power in our hands?"

"Compromise is not shameful, why not lose some power in order to win?"

"Only winners are qualified to continue to enjoy life. Losers have become urns. Should we be a winner who gives up part of his power, or a loser who refuses to give up his power?"

"To lose melons for the sake of sesame seeds is not what a rational person should do."

"The ancestors taught us that in order to win the final victory, our royal family can marry the most beautiful woman in the family, and we can also submit to the emperor of the Central Plains, serve as dogs for the Central Plains dynasty for hundreds of years, and even help the victims of disasters in Liaodong. In this way, he won the hearts of the people and thus stabilized his rule in Liaodong."

"Marriage, proclaiming ministers, loving the people, etc., etc., these are just means, and the ultimate victory is everything!"

"When our ancestors were just a powerful landlord in Liaodong, they were so flexible and enlightened. Now that we have a vast number of subjects and land, are we going to become pedantic instead?"

Yan Ji took the trouble to explain to the nobles that he would never follow Wang Ting's example. He was always for the benefit of the whole family and would never bend his elbows.

In this way, he had just finished arguing with the representatives of the guild, and was busy arguing with various nobles. He even swore in public at the temporary aristocratic meeting on Penglai Island that he would never become the second Wang Ting.

Another three months passed, and the time came to the winter of the eighth year of Yan State 330. (548 years)
During the more than a year when the various forces in the Yan State fought each other, Hou Jing had captured more than half of Liaodong.

The Shanhaiguan guard sent envoys across the sea to Penglai Island many times to ask Yan Ji for support, but in the end nothing came of it.

Goguryeo took the opportunity to annex Fuyu and Wuji, which had not been restored for a long time, and annexed many Sushen tribes to the north.

But in the Central Plains, Gao Cheng's servants beat the emperor, and he himself scolded the emperor Yuan Shanjian with a "dog's feet", which completely tore up the little face between the monarch and his ministers, and the usurpation of the throne was imminent.

On Yuwen Wei's side, taking advantage of Gao Huan's death, Yuwentai finally drew his hand to occupy the Longxi area, and began to attack many forces in Liangzhou.

As for the Liang Kingdom on Jiangzuo, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Lingnan nobles' uprising, they annexed the Lingnan religious country, re-secularized the Lingnan area, and enshrined Mrs. Xian, who was born in a local wealthy family, for indirect rule.

Not long after Madam Xian came to power, she took her followers and entered Danzhou Island (Hainan Island) in a canoe, subdued the leaders of various indigenous tribes on the island, and incorporated Danzhou Island into the nominal territory of Liang State. .

Danzhou Island was included under the rule of the Han Dynasty during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. However, in the later period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, due to frequent uprisings, Danzhou Island became independent. It was not until the period of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty that Danzhou Island was regained by virtue of its strong national power, but it was not until Emperor Han Yuan During the period, the great Han Dynasty began to decline, and Danzhou Island became independent again. Since then, it has never returned to the ruling system of the Central Plains, until the present Mrs. Xian went ashore to conquer.

The Liang State implemented self-government in the southwest region and the Danzhou Island region, that is, the local aborigines only had to pay tribute to the Daliang court on a regular basis, and the Daliang court would not send officials to actually manage the people there.

The control is not even as strong as the rule of Yan State on Phi Mao Island (Sakhalin Island). Yan State’s rule on Phi Mao Island is the chieftain. The chieftain not only has to pay tribute regularly, but also obeys the conscripts of the Yan State court to conquer the south for Yan State North War.

In the grassland, Rouran has turned from prosperity to decline, and has lost the short-lived glory that appeared when the Six Towns Uprising broke out in the Central Plains. With the internal stability of the Gao family and Yuwen family, Rouran can no longer go south at will like 20 years ago. Looting and absorbing talents.

Moreover, those nomadic tribes in the west who had originally surrendered to Rouran gradually took the opportunity to grow, such as the Turks.

The Turks are to Rouran, just like Xianbei is to the Xiongnu. In the past, they professed their vassals to you, but today they kill you!
In this era of ever-changing world conditions, the internal strife in the Kingdom of Yan has finally come to an end for the time being. Nobles, guilds, citizens, all strata, and forces from all walks of life, they formed a mighty coalition force, and finally decided to counterattack Hou Jinghe who launched the rebellion. Entered Goguryeo.

Yan Ji commanded an army of 3000, including: 6000 temporary recruits, 6000 noble soldiers, 3000 guild soldiers, 1000 Heishui Chieftain soldiers, 1000 Fuyu Fuguo soldiers, and [-] Wuji Fuguo soldiers.

Hou Jing had a total of 3000 troops, composed as follows: 3000 soldiers from Wei State in Shandong Province, 2000 soldiers from Jin State in Shandong Province, 2000 soldiers from Jiedu Army in Shandong Province, 40000 Yan soldiers who surrendered in Liaodong, and [-] Goguryeo infantry.

Yan Palace
Hou Jing, who claimed to be the emperor of the Yan Kingdom, was drinking and having fun with a group of officers and generals.

Some aristocratic ladies of the Yan Kingdom were also forced to become dancers, and were sexually entertained in the court.

Hou Jing even asked people to dig up Yan Lian's tomb and put her body on his bed to fulfill his dream of marrying a female monarch for many years.

At this moment, a trusted aide came to him, first he bowed respectfully, and after the two maids searched and confirmed that he was not carrying an assassination weapon, the trusted aide walked to Hou Jing's side and handed over the front-line information to Hou Jing.

"I have [-] people, but only [-] thieves, what is there to be afraid of?" After reading the information, Hou Jing knew that the nobles and guilds of the Yan Kingdom who were hiding in the peninsula and overseas finally stopped their infighting and started fighting. When they united against him, he was not panicked at all, but very confident.
