Chapter 383: Thousand-Year-Old King and Eighty-Thousand-Year-Old Turtle (3)

Author: Fast Traveling Maniac

As soon as Qu Jie woke up early the next morning, she immediately climbed out of the Yukun Cave and recalled the particle robots.

Start sorting through the information they collect.

The reason for seeking judgment is, of course, because Qu Jie cannot guarantee that the information they collect is absolutely correct, so they have to have some judgment of their own.

Loud plots and rumors spread.

It is certainly different from the accuracy of private planning.

So it was only after more than an hour that Qu Jie roughly understood what exactly happened, and whether Marquis Wan Qu had done those evil things, and was he unjustly accused?

How to describe it? It involved a very wide range of things.

The origin of the matter can be traced back ten years ago.

Ten years ago, Emperor Taikang, who ascended the throne at the age of nine and had the Empress Dowager Zhang in charge of the government for twelve years, finally succeeded in taking over the power personally because of the death of the Empress Dowager Zhang.

Another person who had a similar experience was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

He quickly established himself after taking office.

But Emperor Taikang obviously did not disapprove of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He hoped that if he had the strength of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he would not have a lot of bad things later. As soon as he came into power, Emperor Taikang began to promote people he trusted, such as his personal

The eunuch Wang Zhen, for example, flatters a flatterer.

Especially as several veterans of the three dynasties passed away one by one, he became more and more unscrupulous, and the entire government was in chaos under the management of him and his cronies.

Among them, the great eunuch Wang Zhen, whom he called his teacher, was the most domineering and his evil deeds were too numerous to describe.

For example, all the officials in the entire imperial court must give gifts if they want to do something, and if they want to be promoted, they must give gifts. Those who give gifts and the number of gifts are enough can get things done, and their official positions can be promoted.

Giving a small amount of gifts is not what he wants.

Otherwise, he will be demoted, or beheaded in prison.

When officials saw him, they had to kneel down and salute, and those who failed to do so would be treated with hostility by him. He considered those who were dissatisfied with him. The imperial censor did not worship him, Baochao was sent to serve in exile, and the young minister of Dali Temple did not worship him, and he secretly resented him.

When the wrong party tried the case of his godson raping a girl, he framed him and sentenced him to death. Later, because there were so many rebels in the capital, it almost triggered a riot among the people, so he was exiled.

Through these operations, Wang Zhenfou vigorously promoted those who were flattering and flattering, and brutally suppressed those who opposed his own power and disrespected his own country, thus achieving the goal of quickly forming a party for personal gain.

As a result, most of the people in the imperial court in the east are their own people.

But it turns out that if the entire government is in a state of chaos, only those who are willing to grovel, flatter others, and flatter others can stay in the East. Those who are upright and honest will be killed, exiled, and demoted, and they will have no place to stand.

Did Emperor Taikang know that, or maybe he wasn't that clear, but that person was indeed his, and he was indeed indulged by him. Can you please tell me that he doesn't take responsibility?

The fourteenth year of Taikang, that is, the fourteenth year that Emperor Taikang ascended the throne and took charge of the throne for two years. To be more precise, it means that eight years ago, Wang Zhen withheld the tea and salt that the Northern Barbarians deserved in the tea-horse trade.

Iron and other materials.

This caused dissatisfaction among the officials of the Northern Barbarian Mutual Market.

Then he killed someone when the Northern Barbarian officials questioned him.

This directly caused the Northern Barbarians to become furious and invade the pass to plunder.

Although they fought a long war with the Northern Barbarians at the beginning of the founding of the country, starting from Emperor Taikang's father Xuanzong, both sides entered a period of peaceful development.

Although there were some minor border conflicts, there were no major wars anymore. A tea and horse trade was opened on the border with each other. The Northern Barbarians used livestock such as cattle, horses and sheep to exchange their scarce tea, salt, and iron in the tea and horse trade.

They can share what they have with each other, and everyone can get what they need. You can also buy food and the like. Except for the iron restrictions, other good things are unlimited. If you want to satisfy the northern barbarians, you can exchange them for more expensive ones.

The prices of things, cattle, horses and sheep are not low. Because of this, the Northern Barbarians are willing to maintain peace for the time being and not enter the border to rob.

Can Wang Zhen be really used to being arrogant and domineering in the court? No matter what money he asks for, he has to withhold half of the disaster relief money first. Then he thinks that the Northern Barbarians are as easy to bully as the officials in the court.

Half of the trade payment was directly deducted.

This means that half of the tea salt iron is deducted.

When the Northern Barbarian officials came to question him, did Wang Zhen also feel that the officials in his family had to kneel down and salute when they saw him? The Northern Barbarian officials not only bowed down and saluted him, but also dared to question and scold him loudly. It was really

It was so outrageous that he killed the person.

After receiving the news, the northern barbarians were of course furious. Good guys, they are willing to participate in the tea-horse trade, just because they don’t want to kill more people. They are not afraid of us. What we are doing now is just because we want to.

If you want to start a war with them, don't be the first to provoke them.

If we are unkind, then don't blame them for being unjust.

If you don’t trade in the future, just grab it.

Immediately afterwards, the Northern Barbarians invaded and plundered the people as a matter of course. The Min Kingdom's army and defense, which had not had any major wars for decades, could be described as fragile. They were rampaged by the Northern Barbarians and swept away.

Urgent reports came in from all directions.

After that, Emperor Taikang became angry and eager to try after hearing the news. He wanted to learn how to stir up his grandfather and his great-great-grandfather in the Northern Expedition, drink from the vast sea of ​​horses, and seal the wolf to live in Xu. After his death, he might also be able to live as a low-level nunnery of Emperor Wu.

In addition, Wang Zhen's beard-beating horse was said to have the qualifications of a military god and the talent of a military saint, so he asked for a horse. If he was wrong, he could kick Wei Huo and overwhelm the likes of Han Xin, who was famous.

Believe in the real Taikang Emperor.

Isn't it natural to declare that I want the imperial commander to conquer personally?

The most outrageous thing is that not only did he request to mobilize an army of 500,000 people to go on an expedition within three days, he also asked hundreds of officials and nobles to witness his illustrious military exploits.

Most of them were brought with them, and even several historians were brought with them.

It is convenient to record his military exploits in a timely manner.

It only took five days for Emperor Taikang to go out with an army of 500,000 and more than half of the civil and military nobles. Of course, his most trusted eunuch Wang Zhen and other cronies were also brought with him. As for the government affairs, his mother was responsible for the affairs of the country.

Empress Dowager Sun cooperated with her half-brother, King Xiang, to oversee the administration of the country. To be precise, it was King Xiang who oversaw the country.

Empress Dowager Sun supervises King Xiang.

Prevent him from having any alien thoughts.

It turns out that in a random operation without any rules, Emperor Taikang and Wang Zhen could easily kill an army of 500,000 people, as well as more than half of the civil and military officials and nobles.

One hundred thousand troops were directly cut off from water and food by the Northern Barbarians, and were besieged and destroyed.

Most of the ideas were not those of Wang Zhen.

When the city was destroyed, Wang Zhen was beaten to death with a mace by a general who knew he would die.

The idea of ​​being loyal to the emperor and ruthless to the country is very much there.

It is estimated that Emperor Taikang could not escape the blow.

In the original war, the entire army of 500,000 was basically wiped out, 90% of the civil and military officials brought there died, and Emperor Taikang was captured by the Northern Barbarians.
