Chapter 192 You will soon hear the news of the sudden death of King Bei

early morning.

Xuanzheng Hall.

Officials came here early today. As soon as they arrived at the Xuanzheng Hall, the officials discussed the reform of Beijun, and they didn't even care about the war between Daxia and Dawu.

Although the war between Daxia and Dawu was also related to them, but there were soldiers on the front line, no matter how strong Dawu's military strength was, it was impossible to hit the capital in a short time.

The reform in Beijun is different. The land issue is closely related to each of them. Although Beiwang only carried out reforms in the fiefdom, it seems that it did not affect them, but Beiwang's thinking made them feel very dangerous.

This kind of thought absolutely cannot appear in Great Xia. Once this kind of thought spreads, the interests of each of them will be affected in the future. They will not allow Emperor Xia to have such a thought, so they must give this thought to strangled in the bud.

Seeing the officials in the hall discussing the reform of Beijun in full swing, Lin Gaoyuan's mood was a little complicated.

Only then did he decide to fall to Beiwang and support Beiwang from now on. As a result, Beiwang made such a big commotion in Beijun.

Legislating to stipulate that the ownership of the fief land belongs to the prince. The Northern King dares to do such a thing. Does the Northern King have no officials or counselors to stop the Northern King?

The King of the North is really courageous.

Lin Gaoyuan's heart even began to waver.

He doubted whether Bei Wang would survive next year.

Even if Emperor Xia didn't punish the Northern King, those aristocratic families and the scholar-official class would secretly send people to assassinate the Northern King.

Thinking of this, Lin Gaoyuan sighed.

Originally, he thought that Bei Wang was a person who was good at forbearance, and he would become a great weapon in the future, and he would definitely accomplish a lot.

In the end, he didn't expect Bei Wang to be so reckless.

I don't know if the heavy cavalry in Beijun has really been wiped out. It seems that when his son comes back, he must ask about the situation in Beijun.

Just when Lin Gaoyuan was distracted, the eunuch's voice came from the hall.

"His Majesty is here!"

Hearing this, the main hall, which was like a vegetable market just now, fell silent in an instant.

Soon, Emperor Xia, who was wearing a yellow golden dragon robe, came to the dragon platform.

After sitting on the dragon chair, he said calmly: "What were you Aiqings discussing just now? The discussion was so intense. Could it be that there has been some major change in the frontline battle that I don't know about?"

Seeing that Emperor Xia pretended to be confused while pretending to be confused, the spokesperson of a family couldn't bear it any longer, and directly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I impeach the king of the North without discipline, disrespect the etiquette system, bully the people, and do anything wrong in the fief. It is suggested to abolish the title of King of the North, and send someone to arrest him and bring him back to the capital for punishment."

Hearing this, Emperor Xia showed a confused expression, and then said: "Northern King? Aren't you discussing the frontline war just now? Why did you discuss the Northern King again? Did the Northern King do something? If you know something, Ai Qing will impeach him?"

Seeing that Emperor Xia pretended to be completely ignorant, the ministers in the hall were startled. Could it be that the things that King Bei did in Beijun were really ordered by Emperor Xia?
Could it be that Emperor Xia intends to legislate to take back land ownership?
At this time, Zhao Wenhan stood up, "Your Majesty, I heard that the King of Bei is carrying out reforms in Beijun, and he wants to legislate that the ownership of all the land in Beijun belongs to him alone, and no one can buy and sell at will. Behavior will seriously endanger the Daxia community, so I believe that the Northern King should be stopped immediately from continuing to reform, otherwise the Daxia will be in danger."

Emperor Xia frowned, and then said: "Zhao Aiqing's news is really well-informed, Zhao Aiqing will know about things that I don't even know."

"But having said that, it seems that a feudal lord's reforms and decrees in his own fief have nothing to do with the imperial court."

"If the imperial court interferes with the vassal's fiefdom at will, it may cause dissatisfaction among the vassals."

Zhao Wenhan quickly said: "Your Majesty, the Northern King's reforms have aroused popular anger. Now the people in the streets and alleys are discussing the affairs of Beijun, and not many people even pay attention to the frontline battles."

"If the Northern King's reforms are not stopped and the Northern King is not punished, the common people may think that His Majesty asked the Northern King to do this. It is even possible that His Majesty will legislate to take back all the land in Daxia in the future."

"Nowadays, the battle on the front line is tight. If the soldiers know that the land they exchanged for military merit may be taken back, they still have the heart to fight for Great Xia and fight for His Majesty."

"That's why I implore Your Majesty to punish Bei Wang severely!"

Having said that, Zhao Wenhan directly knelt down.

Seeing that Zhao Wenhan had knelt down, officials from Zhao Wenhan's faction knelt down one after another, and said in unison: "Please punish the Northern King severely, Your Majesty!"

Seeing more than half of the officials in the court kneeling, Emperor Xia didn't feel the slightest fluctuation in his heart. He had expected the court to be like this yesterday.

In fact, what these ministers were most afraid of was taking back the ownership of the land by themselves. What Zhao Wenhan said just now was testing himself, and at the same time reminding him not to have such thoughts, otherwise he would be the emperor to the end.

At this time, Emperor Xia said calmly: "If it is true as you said, the King of the North will take back the ownership of the land in the North County legislation, then he has indeed gone too far."

"Although the land I rewarded him should belong to him, if the land is taken back, how will the common people live?"

"Well, it should be punished!"

Having said that, Emperor Xia's eyes fell on Lin Gaoyuan.

Emperor Xia asked: "Lin Aiqing, how do you think the king of the North should be punished, whether to cut off his throne, or what to do?"

Lin Gaoyuan was stunned.

This is a hot question, if you don't answer it, you will not only offend Emperor Xia, but also offend the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

After Lin Gaoyuan thought for a while, he finally said: "The people of Beiwang Yurou don't deserve the life and death of the people. Naturally, they should be punished, but..."

"The battle between Daxia and Dawu is not over yet. If one loses the title of vassal king at this time, it is very likely that the Northern King will be directly forced to rebel."

"Although I heard that the heavy cavalry in Beijun has been destroyed, we can't forget that King Bei led the soldiers of Beijun to destroy the tribe of Sirius King. This is enough to show that Beijun has a lot of martial arts."

"Even without the heavy cavalry, the King of the North can still quickly recruit a group of soldiers with extremely strong combat effectiveness. Once the King of the North rebels, Da Xia will be caught in a situation of two sides attacking."

Before Lin Gaoyuan finished speaking, he was about to continue when Emperor Xia interrupted him.

"What Lin Aiqing said is very reasonable. The war ahead is not over yet. It is extremely unwise to abolish the title of a vassal king at this time."

"However, it is not possible to completely ignore the punishment. I should give an explanation to the people of Daxia. If this is the case, then I will transfer all the soldiers from the imperial court to support Beijun, and no longer help Beijun to guard Tianguang City."

"From today, the imperial court will no longer support Beijun. Even if the barbarians go south, Beijun will alone resist the barbarian attack."

Hearing Emperor Xia's words, Zhao Wenhan frowned.

What kind of punishment is this?
This punishment is probably not painful to King Bei.

But having said that, the selection of the reform period of the northern king is really good. Now it is a time of war. From the perspective of the overall situation, the court really cannot abolish a vassal at will.

If the Northern King is forced to turn against him at that time, whoever takes the lead in saying that he wants to abolish the Northern King will bear the blame.

At this moment, Emperor Xia said: "Okay, all lovers get up, I understand what you are worried about."

"But you can rest assured that all this is Xiaojiu's messing around in Beijun, and has nothing to do with me, and it is impossible for me to legislate to take back all the land in the world."

"Although the Great Xia Dynasty was brought down by Taizu, all the land in the Great Xia Dynasty belongs to the royal family and belongs to me in name, but I have already rewarded these lands, so how can I take them back?"

Hearing Emperor Xia's words, the ministers in the court always felt weird, as if Emperor Xia was reminding them that this Great Xia belonged to him, and told them to be more honest.

Zhao Wenhan felt that it was useless to continue kneeling, so he stood up anyway. After Zhao Wenhan got up, other officials of the court also got up one after another.

At this time, Zhao Wenhan said: "What Lin Xianghe said is reasonable, but the minister is too reckless, and he didn't think about the harm that the abolition of the vassal king may bring to Great Xia at this time."

Seeing that Zhao Wenhan did not continue to persevere, most of the officials in the court felt very uncomfortable. Of course, they were not dissatisfied with Zhao Wenhan, but they felt that it was a pity that the Northern King escaped like this.

If the two dynasties were not still at war, the king of the north would definitely be punished severely for his actions. His thoughts were too dangerous, and no minister in the court would allow him to have such thoughts.

Even if the Northern King's actions might have been ordered by Emperor Xia, it's still not acceptable.

At this moment, the voice of Hong Ling's messenger came from outside the hall.

"Urgent report from Wuxi County! Dawu assembled an army of one million and launched a full-scale attack!"

After hearing the words of the red silk messenger, the ministers had no choice but to turn the topic to the frontline war, and then they began to discuss how to deal with Dawu's all-out attack.

At this time, Chu Qinwu, Minister of the Ministry of War, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, we have already sent envoys to Dawu to express our thoughts on peace talks, but Dawu still mobilized a large army to attack Xiwu County. This proves that in Dawu's view, Daxia's strength It has been greatly attenuated, so the idea of ​​​​peace talks was proposed."

"I believe that if we want peace talks, we must first repel Dawu's attack, and counterattack to a certain extent. Only in this way can we deter Dawu and let Dawu know that Daxia is not weak and bully."

"In order to boost the morale of the frontline soldiers, I suggest that the Eighth Prince be in command and lead the three armies to counterattack Dawu."

Hearing Chu Qinwu's words, Emperor Xia narrowed his eyes slightly.

He has basically guessed the meaning of the Jiangnan family, which is to let the eighth prince make military achievements, so as to pave the way for his crown prince.

But since he had already planned to compromise, he had no choice but to comply with their wishes. As for commanding the three armies, it was definitely impossible.

Xia Huang then said: "Although the king of Qi is capable of writing and martial arts, he has no experience in commanding an army. You can let him go to the front to encourage the soldiers, but he is not allowed to interfere with the decisions of the commanders at the front."

What Emperor Xia valued most was military power, how could he hand it over to others casually, if the Eighth Prince were to lead the three armies, it might be easy to hand over military power, but it would not be so easy to take it back.

Hearing Emperor Xia's words, the Eighth Prince immediately stood up and said, "Thank you, Father, for giving this opportunity to my son!"

Seeing that Emperor Xia agreed so easily for the eighth prince to go to the front line, the other princes quit immediately.

The eight princes were all able to go to the front line, so they naturally had the qualifications. Immediately, all the princes stood up and asked Emperor Xia to allow them to go to the front line to fight against Da Wu.

However, Emperor Xia did not agree. The war is likely to end, and it is impossible for Emperor Xia to let other princes go to the front to make trouble.

Emperor Xia gave the eighth prince a chance to convey his goodwill to the Jiangnan family, how could it be possible for other princes to follow to the front to stir up trouble.

Afterwards, the court was full of wrangling among various factions. Originally, they wanted to trouble the King of the North today, but now all the ministers turned their attention to the frontline war.

This is basically exactly the same as what Lu Chen expected. Even if the ministers of the imperial court knew about the reforms he made in Beijun, because of the war between Dawu and Daxia, the imperial court would not be able to allocate extra energy to trouble him. .

Moreover, the imperial court did not dare to find trouble with a vassal king at this time, and the foreign enemies had not yet been repelled. If civil strife was provoked at this time, Great Xia would become even more dangerous.

Of course, this made the ministers of the imperial court very uncomfortable. Now there is no way to move the Northern King, and there is no way to prevent him from carrying out reforms in the fief. Could it be that he can only watch him mess around in Beijun?
This is definitely not possible.

Since Beijun's land reform measures were obviously proposed by Beiwang, the person who proposed Beiwang should be dealt with. In this way, Beijun's reforms will naturally stop.

at the same time.

In a certain attic selling weapons, Wang Yong was discussing something with a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man's body is full of strong muscles, each of which looks very distinct, and there is a long scar on his face. He looks fierce and fierce, and he looks like a warrior.

After hearing Wang Yong's words, the middle-aged man burst out laughing, and then he said, "Brother Wang, if you had come to us earlier, I'm afraid the scourge in the north would not have caused these things!"

"Hmph, the Blood Moon Building is really trash, it will fall into the hands of King Bei!"

Wang Yong smiled and said: "What Pavilion Master Su said is that this matter will trouble you Lingwu Pavilion. After the matter is completed, 500 million taels of silver will be offered."

Su Teng said confidently: "Brother Wang, don't worry, you will soon hear the news of King Bei's sudden death."

"Except for the one in the palace, no one in Lingwu Pavilion can protect the person we want to kill, not even the grand master."

Seeing Su Teng so confident, Wang Yong felt relieved.

Lingwu Pavilion is not a professional killer organization, but the dirty work they do is no less than that of a professional killer organization like Blood Moon Building.

The most important point is that the Lingwu Pavilion is not as notorious as the Blood Moon Building. On the surface, the Lingwu Pavilion is just a shop selling weapons, but in fact they have many ways to make money, including taking orders to kill people.
