Chapter 90: Welcome the princess, steal the country's fortune, there are many suspicious cases, all
Make peace.
Yes, the Huns proposed peace.
In the lobby of the Confucius family in Kyoto.
Yang Kai looked at the letter in his hand and fell into silence.
To be honest, what Yang Kai hopes most is that there will be no war between the Daxia Dynasty and the Xiongnu Kingdom.
Now, the Huns had caught the culprit and beheaded the leader of the Great Xia Dynasty.
It can be regarded as the greatest face for the Xia Dynasty, and the murderer is indeed not from the Huns.
Of course, it’s not clear whether this is true or not, at least on the surface they are doing the most benevolent and righteous things.
Between big countries, it all depends on practices. As long as everyone can get by in terms of face, everything is easy to talk about.
After all, no one wants to fight a war. If you give me a step, I will give you a step. Now the Huns have indeed given a step, and the step they have given is very big.
They have killed their own people, and this face is enough to calm all the public complaints in the country.
But the only request made Yang Kai frown a little.
Marriage?
It wasn't that the marriage was embarrassing, but that the Xia Dynasty and the Xiongnu were making peace, which he had never thought about.
Will the people be disgusted with this kind of thing? This is the first thing.
The second thing is that it would be very costly for the Huns to kill their own people. After all, there is a saying that you should help your relatives but not your family. Unless the impact is too great, it is impossible to kill your own people.
Aren’t these soldiers going to be disappointed in the future?
To put it simply, the whole story is that someone pretended to be a Xiongnu, burned and looted, and if someone didn't know about it, it was tentatively assumed that he was not a citizen of Daxia or a Xiongnu people.
Anyway, someone pretended to be one, and then the Daxia people thought it was the Huns. Without any actual evidence, someone in the Daxia Dynasty ignored the order and killed the Huns cavalry, and ended up confessing themselves.
From the perspective of the Xiongnu Kingdom, it is right to kill him. After all, I am not trying to scare you.
But the King of the Xiongnu chose to kill his own people to give the Daxia Dynasty a step forward, and he did not hesitate to offend the entire army. This was a great deal of face, and even surrendering his status was not an exaggeration.
However, all this was done just for the sake of marriage.
Somewhat weird.
If the Huns did this and then asked for some other benefits, he would have no problem with it, but just a marriage would be a bit weird, too weird.
It's not that getting married is difficult, but getting married is very easy.
From Yang Kai's point of view, getting married is nothing more than choosing a princess to send to get married.
Then the two countries are friendly, you are good and I am good, there is no fighting on the border, and we maintain a balance with each other. Even because of the marriage, your people can do business with me, and my people can do business with you.
I need iron ore, and you need firewood, rice, oil, and salt. If this is the case, how much benefit will it bring? How much benefit will it bring?
If a war breaks out and the three armies are not moved, the grain and grass go first, and there are still three to forty million taels of silver in the national treasury. All of this silver must be used as war reserve silver. The three armies will be rewarded first, and then the grain and grass will be purchased, and workers will be hired to build war weapons.
Due to the war in the country, the price of many things will inevitably increase. The noble families will definitely not miss this opportunity. Even the noble families who are not far from the border are expected to purchase iron ore, build weapons and sell them to the Huns.
Then once the war starts, not to mention military supplies and food and grass, each person who dies will have to pay 500 taels of silver, and the family will be exempted from taxes for three years, plus some other benefits, such as if there are male offspring, they can go to private schools.
Appropriations from the imperial court are reduced by half.
This is the welfare of the soldiers of Daxia. In this way, the soldiers can fight with peace of mind. Daxia will take care of everything after death.
It is not an exaggeration to say that tens of thousands of people died after this battle, especially in a siege.
According to His Majesty the Emperor's temper, the fighting will take at least half a year, and the number of casualties is estimated to be 100,000.
The compensation alone is 50 million taels of silver, plus other items, at least 10 million and 50 million taels of silver.
I won’t say anything else.
But if you send a princess to get married, you can directly stop the total loss of 30 to 40 million taels of silver. In addition, it can also promote trade. In ten years, you may earn 30 to 40 million taels of silver. The income will be rounded up.
That's one hundred thousand taels of silver.
The Great Xia Dynasty's treasury cash collection for one year was 20,000 taels of silver, and one woman brought five years of national tax revenue.
Isn't this a good thing?
To put it another way, it doesn’t matter whether it’s a silver tael or not. If you sacrifice one person in exchange for the lives of a hundred thousand soldiers, this business is worth it.
It can be said that the marriage problem is not a big one. All civil and military officials in the dynasty will agree to it, and even the emperor will agree to it.
It's just that he feels that this matter is a little different.
"Master Yang, after thinking about it for so long, do you think it's inappropriate to get married?"
Kong Ping spoke up, looked at Yang Kai, and asked.
As soon as he said this, Yang Kai immediately shook his head.
"There is nothing wrong with getting married. I just feel that the Xiongnu Kingdom behaves like this just for the sake of getting married. I don't understand." Yang Kai replied.
Express your inner doubts.
As soon as he said this, Kong Ping smiled slightly and then replied: "Actually, the intention of the Huns is very obvious."
"Their national destiny was being undermined, so they were naturally on tenterhooks, fearing that the Great Xia Dynasty would declare war."
"That's why I chose to make peace, hoping to ease the relationship between the two countries. Furthermore, although the twelve cities on the border were occupied by the Huns, the Huns were not used to living in the cities and lacked too many supplies. These supplies could only be purchased through Daxia transportation.
.”
"Otherwise, relying on the Fulo Dynasty, the price of the same item would be at least three times more expensive. Mr. Yang did not know that a bronze mirror sold by the Fuluo Dynasty to the Huns cost fifteen taels of silver, while one on the Daxia border
The bronze mirror is only three or four taels of silver."
"In this way, through the intention of peace, the relationship between the two countries can be eased, and then mutual trade can be achieved. This is the intention of the Huns."
"Master Yang, you are worrying too much."
Kong Ping smiled and spoke, and at the same time his analysis was clear and logical, looking extremely confident.
As soon as these words came out, Yang Kai couldn't help but nodded.
What he said was right, the main city on the border of Daxia was only fifty miles away from the Twelve Cities, but there was a huge change in this mere fifty miles.
Trade with the Huns was strictly prohibited on the Daxia border, and anyone caught was punished with death. Although some people took desperate measures, they could not stand up to the strict border control, and there were also many rogue bandits who robbed the country.
As a result, goods from Daxia could not enter the Huns.
Therefore, the Huns could only rely on the Jin Dynasty further north or the Fuluo Dynasty in the south.
The Dajin Dynasty is okay, the price is not too expensive, but the Dajin Dynasty lacks many resources, or the workmanship is not as good as the Daxia Dynasty and Fuluo Dynasty.
But the price of Fuluo Dynasty was three times that of Daxia Dynasty.
As a result, the people naturally cannot afford it, but when they live in the city, they cannot maintain their living habits in the plains, so they can only bite the bullet.
These are all problems.
So what Kong Ping said is indeed reasonable and reasonable.
"In this case, I will go to the palace now and inform Your Majesty of the matter."
Yang Kai nodded.
Although I don’t know what the Xiongnu Kingdom is thinking, no matter what, not starting a war is a good thing for the Daxia Dynasty.
"Master Yang, walk slowly."
Kong Ping stood up and sent Yang Kai away.
After Yang Kai leaves.
The smile on Kong Ping's face became even stronger.
The housekeeper walked in without saying anything, just waiting for Kong Ping to make a sound.
"Tell the clan leader that the matter has been taken care of."
Kong Ping spoke up and asked the housekeeper to make a run.
"yes."
The latter nodded and slowly backed away.
After the housekeeper left, Kong Ping couldn't help but look in the northwest direction. This direction was the Xiongnu Kingdom but also the Zhenguo Palace.
at the same time.
After leaving the Confucius Mansion, Yang Kai did not enter the palace directly, but went to the Ministry of Rites to handle some official documents.
It's not that he doesn't believe the news from the Confucius Mansion, but he believes that the news from the Confucius Mansion must be fine.
It's just that such a huge organization as the Six Departments of Daxia didn't get the latest news. The Kong family actually got the news earlier, which is a problem.
However, it is not without reason for the Confucius family to have such a huge intelligence capability. After all, there are students from the Confucius family all over the world. Even in the Xiongnu country, there are many people who respect the Confucius family and respect the saints as their teachers.
The eldest prince of the Xiongnu Kingdom extremely respected the Eternal Saint, that is, Kong Sheng. He had a very good relationship with the Kong family and wanted to become a disciple of the Kong family many times. However, because his status was too special, the Kong family did not agree for the time being.
Knowing the information in advance is not a big problem.
But if I really go to His Majesty with this news, I am afraid that His Majesty will be disgusted.
The Kong family can get the news, so it won't be long before news from the border reaches the Ministry of Rites.
When the news comes to the Ministry of Rites, then go to the palace, and you won't cause any trouble.
However, at this moment, a voice sounded outside.
"Mr. Yang, your granddaughter is outside asking to see you."
As the sound rang out, Yang Kai was a little surprised in the room. He never thought about how his granddaughter was here so well?
"Let her in."
Yang Kai spoke up. Although he was a little curious, he spoke immediately.
Soon, two figures appeared, one was Yang Hanrou and the other was Fairy Yaochi.
"grandfather."
Entering the minister's study room, Yang Hanrou immediately shouted.
Looking at his granddaughter, Yang Kai felt a little gentler, but after taking a look at Yaochi, Yang Kai couldn't help but say.
"Is this a disciple of Linglong Immortal Palace?"
Yang Kai spoke, he didn't show off, but he didn't look special either, he just asked.
"Junior Yaochi, my master, Palace Master Linglong, has met my senior."
Fairy Yaochi still acted like a person in the immortal way, and bowed to Yang Kai.
Yang Kai nodded and then looked at his granddaughter.
"Why did you come here suddenly? Shouldn't we be in class at this hour?"
Yang Kai was curious and looked at Yang Hanrou and asked.
"Master has given us new lessons."
"My granddaughter doesn't understand, so she came to ask you."
Yang Hanrou had a smile on her face. After all, he was his grandfather, so he seemed very casual.
"What can make you so anxious?"
Yang Kai spoke up and asked about his granddaughter.
"Grandpa, do you know about Zhang Ming's case in Bailu Mansion?"
Yang Hanrou spoke up and asked directly.
"The Zhang Ming case?"
Yang Kai didn't know, and frowned a little at the same time, why was his granddaughter involved in a case like this?
Yang Hanrou didn't waste any time and directly informed Yang Kai of the cause and effect.
After he made it clear, Yang Kai couldn't help but frown.
"The decision will be made in eleven days?"
Yang Kai frowned, and after hearing this, he also felt that there was a problem. The criminal case could not be concluded in eleven days anyway, and he was killed directly.
This is a big problem.
But very quickly, Yang Kai couldn't help but make a sound.
"Is it the tenth year of Yongsheng?"
Yang Kai seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but say this.
"Yes, grandpa, it took ten years."
Yang Hanrou nodded.
"Then Grandpa knows that the Ministry of Punishment was restructured and human trafficking occurred in Baiqiu Mansion. Two hundred girls crossed the river and drowned. The Lord of Baiqiu Mansion deceived the superiors and subordinates and used the regulations of the Ministry of Punishment to deceive them for half a year. As a result, there was widespread resentment among the people of Baiqiu Mansion. In the end,
It has caused a terrible disaster, so His Majesty requires the Ministry of Punishment to be restructured, and any case must be dealt with severely and quickly."
"If there are no problems, a direct verdict, eleven days is indeed a bit fast, but His Majesty Long Yan was furious at that time, and it is normal for the Ministry of Punishment to give special approval. It is not strange."
"What does Mr. Wenjing mean by giving this to you as your homework?"
Yang Kai thought about it. If it were any other day, he would have felt there was something wrong. There was obviously something wrong with the eleven-day execution.
But it would not have been a big problem in the ten years of Yongsheng. Two hundred girls drowned, causing public resentment and shock to the government and the public. Dozens of officials from the Ministry of Punishment were directly confiscated and beheaded. As a result, the Ministry of Punishment was forced to amend some regulations. Criminal cases must be strictly investigated and
Must check quickly.
Don't drag your feet to avoid a similar situation happening again.
Therefore, the execution of the decision in eleven days was soon, but at that time, it was also a reasonable thing.
"So that's what it is."
"Grandpa, Rou'er understands, Rou'er will leave first."
Yang Hanrou didn't answer Yang Kai's question, and she didn't know why Su Wenjing did this. After getting the answer, she left directly.
"kindness."
"Be careful when you return to the academy."
"By the way, Hanrou, no matter whether there is anything fishy about this matter, you must be cautious. As a daughter, you must not get involved in anything."
Yang Kai reminded me.
Although I don't know what Su Wenjing means, he obviously has other purposes for taking the files from the Ministry of Punishment for no reason and giving them to these students as homework.
If you get involved in something that shouldn't be involved, you will get into trouble. However, the students of Daxia Academy are either powerful or famous. If they really get involved, no one will dare to touch them.
"I understand, grandpa, let's go first."
Yang Hanrou nodded and left quickly, returning to Daxia Academy to join everyone.
After they leave.
A secret report was also sent quickly.
"Lord Shangshu, a secret report from the border."
As the officials entered, Yang Kai immediately received the secret report and after reading it, a look of determination appeared on his face.
Indeed, as the Kong family said, the Xiongnu king killed those generals, released more than a hundred prisoners, sent envoys to negotiate with Daxia, and at the same time wanted to make peace.
After receiving the secret report, Yang Kai rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion without further ado.
We need to discuss something with Li Shan.
Two quarters of an hour later.
Yang Kai was in a hurry all the way, and after arriving at the Prime Minister's Mansion, he handed the secret report to Li Shan without any hesitation.
The latter watched carefully and then fell silent.
"Master Xiang, what do you think about this matter?"
Looking at the other party's silent expression, Yang Kai couldn't help but ask aloud to see what the other party's attitude and thoughts were.
"If it's just a marriage, it's not a big deal. It's a good thing."
"It's just that the Xiongnu Kingdom's intention is definitely not as simple as marriage. When you report this matter, you must be careful in your words and deeds. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, we will be the unlucky ones."
Li Shan spoke, but he couldn't understand it, but he supported the marriage. It was a good thing to sacrifice a woman in exchange for the stability of Daxia.
It’s just that the Huns went through a lot of trouble and paid so much just to marry a princess?
This is somewhat unreasonable.
But the problem is that if you don't think about what others will calculate, you can only agree to it first, but you still have to be careful. If something really happens, and your relatives have contributed to it, you will definitely be in trouble when you go back to settle the matter.
"I understand."
Yang Kai nodded, he knew it in his heart, but he knew more clearly that Daxia must not start a war.
Absolutely not.
With Li Shan's consent, Yang Kai stopped talking nonsense and rushed directly towards the palace.
He didn't hesitate at all.
Take the secret report and go to the Daxia Palace.
And at this time.
Inside the palace.
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
Wei Xian stood aside and talked about some things in Kyoto.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Wenjing has assigned homework, and many dignitaries have begun investigating the case files."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to the Ministry of Justice, and the granddaughter of Yang Shangshu also went to the Ministry of Rites."
Wei Xian opened his mouth and spoke seriously.
"kindness."
Emperor Yongsheng nodded.
And in front of him, there were five identical dossiers.
It is the dossier selected by Su Wenjing.
At this time, Wei Xian on the side couldn't help but speak.
"Your Majesty, ask the Crown Prince and others to investigate this matter. Is there anything wrong?"
Wei Xian spoke up.
He is a close confidant of the emperor and knows a lot of things. He also has some memories of the Zhang Ming case. This case may involve a big thing, but he doesn't know what it is specifically.
But there are some problems if Gu Jinnian and others are asked to investigate this matter.
"It's a good thing to let them suffer."
"Whether it's Jin Nian or Daxia students, they need training."
"Furthermore, even if a group of underachieving children do cause some trouble, what will happen?"
"My intention is to make them suffer. Otherwise, if they are protected by the clan, something will happen sooner or later."
Emperor Yongsheng spoke calmly.
This matter was indeed very suspicious. He wanted to borrow the help of Gu Jinnian and others to investigate this matter, because there were many forces involved behind this matter, including civil servants, military generals, and famous families.
Even as the emperor, he could not investigate this matter, but Gu Jinnian and others were different. They were descendants of powerful people.
It's a good thing to let them break the gap.
Just break the gap and he will take care of the rest. Of course, if conditions permit, Emperor Yongsheng hopes that these people will suffer a loss.
A big loss.
How can one become talented without suffering?
"Your Majesty, what if the Duke of Zhen Guo happens?"
Wei Xian continued to speak and said this.
"The Duke of Zhen has already agreed. He is happy to see this scene."
"No one doesn't want his descendants to become talented. Jin Nian has been surrounded by fine clothes and fine food since he was a child, and has enjoyed the treatment of a prince."
"It was a good thing to redress the grievances of the people some time ago, but he still broke the rules. The imperial court has its own rules, and the world has its own rules."
"He has done a good thing. Otherwise, for his behavior, the civil servants of the entire dynasty would have impeached him long ago."
"He needs training, let me train him well."
Emperor Yongsheng stood up.
What Gu Jinnian did was a good thing from the perspective of the common people, and it was also a good thing from the perspective of scholars.
But the problem is that he is too unscrupulous. It is a good thing for young people to be arrogant, but it would be better if they could be more diplomatic and smarter.
Hiding the blade where the enemy cannot see it and delivering a fatal blow at the critical moment is a smart person.
But Gu Jinnian kept the blade in front of him at all times.
So he needed to personally teach Gu Jinnian some principles.
Carve the rough jade of Gu Jinnian, otherwise if you continue with this attitude, something big will happen sooner or later.
Duke Zhen Guo also had the same idea, and Su Wenjing also had the same idea, so the three parties reached a consensus.
Set up this plan.
"Your Majesty is Holy Ming."
"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince solves this case, it would be a great blessing."
Wei Xian spoke up and praised.
"It can't be broken."
Emperor Yongsheng shook his head and said firmly.
But at the end, he said one more thing.
"If this case is solved, I will really be made a marquis."
This sentence was a bit muttered, but Wei Xian on the side heard it, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
At this moment, Liu Yan's voice sounded outside.
"His Majesty."
"Yang Kai, Minister of Rites, asked for an audience and said that a secret report was sent from the border."
As the sound rang out.
Emperor Yongsheng walked out of the jade case, and Wei Xian immediately put away the files on the table and put them aside.
"Xuan."
Emperor Yongsheng spoke calmly.
Soon, Yang Kai's figure appeared.
He quickly walked into the hall and directly handed over the secret report.
"Your Majesty, Yang Kai, pays homage to your Majesty."
"A secret report has been sent from the border. I hope Your Majesty will read it."
Yang Kai spoke without saying anything.
At that moment, Liu Yan took the secret report and handed it to Emperor Yongsheng.
After opening the secret report, Emperor Yongsheng read the contents of the secret report with just one glance.
"Marriage?"
In the Yangxin Hall, Emperor Yongsheng was also a little curious. To be honest, if this secret report did not come from Yang Kai, he would really think it was a fake.
Although Daxia is unparalleled in bravery, if it really goes to war with the Xiongnu, neither side will gain much.
It's just that this time it's completely imminent. The Huns are forcing Daxia to go to war. As an emperor on horseback, Emperor Yongsheng will naturally not be weak.
But what I didn't expect was that the Xiongnu Kingdom actually made peace. Not only did they make peace, they should compensate and apologize. This was very abnormal, and the purpose of all this was just for peace.
"His Majesty."
"I think there is something fishy about this matter."
Yang Kai spoke out, although he wanted to just stop the war, but there was indeed something fishy about this matter. If he didn't say it, if something happened later, he would be the unlucky one.
So whether you agree or not depends on what the emperor wants.
After all, the Xiongnu Kingdom has a very low profile. To put it bluntly, they are extremely benevolent and righteous. For any purpose of the imperial court, this war is a big deal.
"Weird?"
"What's so strange about this?"
Emperor Yongsheng looked at Yang Kai and asked lightly.
"I think it's a bit weird for the Huns to lower their profile so lowly just for the sake of peace. It's just that I thought about it for a long time and can't figure out the reason. I hope your majesty will forgive me for being stupid."
Yang Kai is a thief, whether he knows it or not, he just doesn’t know it, so let the emperor figure it out for himself.
You can't take the blame anyway.
"In this case, let's discuss it at the DPRK meeting tomorrow."
Emperor Yongsheng spoke calmly.
Since there is nothing to say, there is no need to say anything. We will discuss it tomorrow.
"His Majesty."
"I believe that no matter what the other party's intentions are, it is actually best to stop the war and allow the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War to have peace for a period of time."
"After all, if you just want to get married, I don't think it's a big problem. After all, marrying a princess outside is nothing."
Yang Kai spoke out, although he knew that these words could not be said, but seeing that His Majesty did not agree directly, he couldn't help but mention it.
Now, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Ministry of Industry have all started to work. Stopping early can save a lot of unnecessary expenses and can also calm down the two countries.
To avoid unnecessary branches.
"Let's talk about it tomorrow morning."
Emperor Yongsheng spoke out.
He didn't say anything. Such a big matter would have to wait until the court meeting to discuss it.
"According to the decree."
Seeing Emperor Yongsheng acting like this, Yang Kai didn't have anything to say.
"Send people to the border to negotiate with the Huns and find out what they mean."
However, Emperor Yongsheng still spoke like this.
"I accept the decree."
Hearing this, Yang Kai's eyes flashed with joy, and it was obvious that Emperor Yongsheng agreed to this matter.
After all, just making a marriage can resolve the war between the two countries and get a lot of benefits. This is not a loss-making deal in any way.
Emperor Yongsheng was naturally moved, but he just felt that it was unnecessary for the Huns to do this.
Soon, Yang Kai exited the hall.
Emperor Yongsheng didn't do anything. He returned to the jade case and asked Wei Xian to get the memorial and start approving it.
It's just that this first memorial is about matters in the southeastern island area, pirates, trade and other matters.
in this way.
Until Haishi.
The sky has already become dark.
Court of the King of the Huns.
Two figures stood in the royal court.
The King of the Huns and a middle-aged Confucian scholar.
"Your Majesty, there is news that the Minister of Rites has met with the Emperor of Daxia. It is reliable information that Daxia intends to make a marriage."
The middle-aged Confucian scholar looked at the Hun King with a smile on his face.
After hearing this, the Hun King did not change much, but looked at the middle-aged Confucian scholar and said.
"Confucius."
"By marrying the princess of Daxia, can you really borrow the fortune of Daxia?"
The King of the Huns looked at the middle-aged Confucian scholar and asked.
Yes.
The person in front of the Xiongnu King was none other than a great Confucian scholar.
But this is not a very strange thing. The disciples of the Kong family are all over the world, including the Xiongnu Kingdom, the Fuluo Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty, the Zhongzhou Dynasty, and almost all the forces have the shadow of the Kong family.
The descendants of saints are extremely large.
Although orthodoxy is in Daxia, as the Kong family has gone through countless years, they have long understood that eggs cannot be put in one basket.
The orthodox descendants of the Kong family have also gradually gone to various countries to develop. If the Emperor of Daxia is really cruel and slaughters all the Kong family, then the Kong family with the most orthodox bloodline will open a new orthodox mansion.
It's nothing more than changing places, as long as the bloodline is orthodox.
At that time, Daxia would also face overwhelming criticism. It was precisely for this reason that the Daxia Dynasty did not take action against the Kong family. This was one of the fundamental problems.
"Your Majesty, as long as I marry the princess into the Xiongnu Kingdom, I will have a way to borrow the national fortune. Not only can it make up for the national fortune that was cut off a few days ago, but it can even be enhanced a lot."
"The Great Xia Dynasty has nine destiny destiny, and three of them are integrated into the national destiny. If you marry the princess, you can borrow the secrets of heaven and earth to borrow the national destiny of the Great Xia."
The Confucian scholar spoke with determination and confidence on his face.
As soon as this was said, the latter nodded, looking very satisfied.
"If you can do this, sir, you should be my Huns national advisor."
The Hun King said with great joy.
The fate of the country was undermined, and a lot of things happened. First, meteorites fell from the sky, killing the Huns, and scattering their cattle and sheep. Then, for no reason, a powerful demonic man came to attack the Huns.
We have already suffered heavy losses. This is the disadvantage of the decline in national fortunes.
It also gave him constant headaches and sleepless nights.
Now that he can make up for the national destiny, or even enhance the national destiny, he is naturally happy, and he only needs to get married to improve the national destiny.
This is not a difficult task for him.
"The king still has the courage to kill two hundred cavalry."
The Confucian scholar slowly opened his mouth and said this.
"No."
"Without the plan of Confucius and Confucianism, I would not have thought of this method."
"Now that people have been killed and gifts have been lost, it is impossible for Daxia not to agree to my king's request."
"Once the fortunes of the country improve and we recuperate, in ten years' time, I will set foot on Daxia and conquer the entire northwest. At that time, the Xiongnu Kingdom can be renamed as a dynasty."
The Hun King clenched his fists, this was his biggest dream.
It is impossible to occupy Daxia, it is completely unrealistic, but the possibility of regaining the entire northwest is not small.
Once he succeeds, he will become the strongest king on the grassland, King Khan.
"I would like to congratulate you in advance on your achievement of dominance."
The Confucian scholar was all smiles.
in this way.
Among the Daxia Academy.
Gu Jinnian and others were gathering in the pavilion, everyone looked calm.
Gu Jinnian, Yang Hanrou, and Li Ji received the same information.
The Ministry of Punishment was restructured, so this case was specially approved and sentenced to eleven days.
There is no problem.
About a quarter of an hour later.
Two figures appeared quickly, the leader was Wang Fugui, and the one behind him was Jiang Yezhou.
The two of them appeared, somewhat out of breath.
"Any news?"
Seeing the person coming, Yang Hanrou stood up directly and asked Wang Fugui.
"call."
"call."
Wang Fugui took a deep breath, then shook his head, with beads of sweat on his forehead.
"I've already asked someone to check it, and they're rushing for information all the way. There's really something wrong with this matter."
Wang Fugui spoke.
At that moment, Gu Jinnian couldn't help but get up.
Sure enough, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. This is Daxia Kyoto. Although it controls the whole country, it is impossible to be too careful about what happens three thousand miles away.
"what is the problem?"
Gu Jinnian spoke up and asked Wang Fugui.
"Someone from my clan is doing business in Bailu Mansion. I have interrogated many people and found out that this Zhang Ming was not addicted to gambling from the beginning, and he has a daughter, not a son."
"And he didn't sell his wife or daughter. Instead, he said that his daughter seemed to have disappeared, and then his wife also disappeared."
"That's why Zhang Ming became addicted to gambling. As for selling his son and daughter, I don't know. Anyway, after his wife and daughter disappeared, he drank all day long, so he must be addicted to alcohol. My tribe is in the wine-making business."
"But it has been a year or two since the incident, and Zhang Ming is not an important person. In addition, he just killed a servant of a wealthy family. It did not cause any waves, and we know very little information."
Wang Fugui said, this is the news from Bailu Mansion.
"daughter?"
"My wife and daughter are missing? Is she addicted to alcohol?"
Gu Jinnian frowned, these were things that were not written in the file.
"Is there a mistake in the file?"
Yang Hanrou frowned and couldn't help but speak, looking a little confused.
"It's not necessarily a flaw."
"After all, what you know is what others say, so it may not be true."
"The Ministry of Punishment should conduct an investigation and write it down in the file. There won't be any big mistakes. Otherwise, it's not a trivial matter."
Su Huaiyu spoke up.
He was very calm and did not think there was anything wrong with the file. Instead, he thought the information was inaccurate.
"Brother Gu, what news did you get?"
"Is there a problem?"
Jiang Yezhou spoke up, looked at Gu Jinnian and asked.
"Restructuring of the Ministry of Punishments and special approval of cases."
Gu Jinnian replied calmly, but at the same time he couldn't help frowning and looking at the files on the stone table.
All of a sudden.
Everyone fell silent.
Everyone was silent.
"Actually, according to my point of view, we can just summarize it directly. I also thought there was a problem at first, but later I asked people, and they made it very clear that the case files were specially approved. Maybe we really thought too much."
Li Ji spoke.
He was indeed very interested at first, thinking he was going to solve some big case and show off his skills.
But what I didn't expect was that the result was the restructuring of the Ministry of Punishments. For a moment, I lost interest in it.
"If it is true that the Ministry of Justice is being restructured, then there really is nothing much to say. Maybe we are overthinking it."
Jiang Yezhou also spoke and said so.
"Actually, I think there should be nothing wrong with this file. If it really involves something, Mr. Wenjing wouldn't be able to let us handle it."
"After all, we are all students, and it is not our turn to check the Ministry of Criminal Justice files."
Yang Hanrou also spoke.
There is nothing wrong with the logic.
"Maybe we really think too much."
"Okay, let's put this matter aside for now. It's still early anyway. If it's true that I'm overthinking it, then I'll summarize it and hand it in at the end of the month."
"Everyone, go and have a rest."
Seeing everyone like this, Gu Jinnian also nodded.
This matter is definitely not as simple as imagined.
There must be another secret hidden behind it.
However, everyone has received too little information, and it is inevitable that they will be somewhat clueless.
After saying this, Gu Jinnian left directly.
No matter what, there are still more than twenty days left, so this kind of thing cannot be rushed.
Gu Jinnian left.
Su Huaiyu followed behind him with the file.
The others looked at me and I looked at you. After thinking about it, they didn’t know what to say, but in the end they went back.
On the way back.
Su Huaiyu's voice couldn't help but ring out.
"Actually, there is a way to find out the truth."
Su Huaiyu spoke up to remind Gu Jinnian.
"any solution?"
Gu Jinnian was a little curious.
“It’s quite simple, seeing is believing.”
Su Huaiyu spoke calmly and told him the only way to solve the case.
seeing is believing.
Hearing this, Gu Jinnian frowned a little.
"You mean, go to Bailu Mansion? Investigate it yourself?"
Gu Jinnian asked.
"The most direct way for the Criminal Department to investigate a case is to go there in person."
"There is not much information in the file, and not much information has been obtained. If someone wants to deliberately conceal it, they are in Kyoto, let alone want to know the inside story."
"Although Bailu Mansion is three thousand miles away, if we hurry up, we can get there in two days."
Su Huaiyu gave the answer.
What he said is correct.
If you really want to investigate this case, you will definitely gain something by going there.
In fact, Gu Jinnian also had this idea, but it was a little easier for him to leave Kyoto.
After all, with my identity, what should I do if someone plots against me after I go out?
"No rush, we'll talk about it later."
Gu Jinnian spoke.
"You're afraid you'll be plotted if you go out, right?"
Su Huaiyu saw through Gu Jinnian's scruples at a glance.
"not completely."
Gu Jinnian did not deny it, but he also did not admit it. It was true that he was afraid of death, but the more important reason was that he was not well prepared.
If you really want to go, you have to discuss it with your family, otherwise if something goes wrong, you will at least have someone to take care of you.
Another point is that you have to make use of the ancient trees.
See if there is any information.
And counting the time, the people from the Fuluo Dynasty and the Dajin Dynasty are probably leaving soon.
The assassination is probably going to happen soon. After this incident is over, I will have no problem leaving Kyoto. No one will dare to mess around at that time.
It happened once, it won't happen again.
at the moment.
These are troubled times.
I can't go there myself, I'll just wait and see what happens.
Without saying anything more, Gu Jinnian returned to his dormitory to rest.
The next day.
It's just dawn.
Bactrian Palace.
In the main hall.
A fierce quarrel broke out.
It was Yang Kai who took the lead in telling the story of the peace between the Xiongnu and the Xiongnu.
It is hoped that the two countries will be friendly and turn hostilities into friendship.
However, as soon as this statement came out, the civil servants and Confucian officials all agreed, but most of the military officers quit.
No one knows what is going on in this matter, and no one knows what conspiracy is involved.
But the problem is, Daxia has suffered a loss, and now he actually wants to get married?
In exchange for not declaring war?
None of these generals can stand it.
Although the Xiongnu Kingdom explained clearly that this was a misunderstanding and took the initiative to apologize, many generals refused to agree to the word "marriage".
If you want to say that the Xiongnu sent women over for marriage, can they still accept it and let Daxia women go to the Xiongnu country?
They didn't agree.
The quarrel was very fierce and lasted for a whole day from Mao Shi to Wei Shi.
Each has its own reasons.
But in the end, the matter was settled.
Agree to the marriage.
However, he did not actually send a princess, but instead appointed a minister's daughter, named her a princess, and married her off to the Huns.
Candidates are selected by the Ministry of Rites.
This is the final answer.
Because no matter whose perspective you look at this matter, except that it sounds a bit disgusting.
A woman, in exchange for national peace and economic prosperity, is not a loss-making business in any case.
Even if the generals were dissatisfied, in the end, they could not defeat this group of civil servants and this group of Confucian officials.
It's just that if you don't accept it, you just don't accept it.
The most intense one was Marquis Changyang, who refused from beginning to end.
But there was no other way, Emperor Yongsheng spoke.
And although the generals didn't agree, they were probably angry. Besides, war was a good thing for them. They hadn't fought in more than ten years, and they wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to exert their last remaining energy.
But war is not a battle of spirits.
The more important consideration is economic issues.
Therefore, no matter how the court quarrels today, as long as it cannot be proved that the Huns have evil intentions, the result will definitely be an agreement to make peace.
The meeting is over.
The Ministry of Rites immediately began to select the daughter of the minister.
At the same time, the news was also spread to the Huns.
Let him prepare to send people over to marry the princess.
Of course, prepare some betrothal gifts, these are indispensable.
And after the news of the marriage spread in Kyoto, it also caused huge controversy in an instant——
Brothers, I went to take pictures today. I spent an entire afternoon taking pictures. My hair was mostly bald and the pictures looked weird.
The photographer couldn't help but complain, "Brother, what do you do? Why are you bald at such a young age?"
In the end, it took me several hours of work to get the photos ready, so I updated them late today.
I don't have anything to do tomorrow, so I'll update more.
Then ask for a monthly ticket at the beginning of the month!
