Jinan County, with a population of over one million, was one of the few counties in the Qian Dynasty that could live and work in peace and contentment, and it was also one of the few counties that was willing to obey the orders of the old emperor. In the Qian Dynasty where the sun was setting in the west, there could still be such a county. But it's all thanks to one person, a person who has been in charge of a thousand-year-old family.
The Nangong family is a family that has been passed down for thousands of years. The Nangong family can be passed down for thousands of years because the Nangong family has established the "three virtues" of wisdom, benevolence and courage in the family motto as the family's moral code.
In recent decades, despite the ups and downs of Daqian, the Nangong family has gone upstream and made Jinan County full of vitality. As long as you set foot on the land of Jinan County, you can see a prosperous scene.
The person in charge of this generation of the Nangong family is Nangong Jingzhi. He is knowledgeable, upright and loves the people like a son. The people in Jinan County call him "Nangong Taishan!" This shows how much the people respect Nangong Jingzhi.
There are three brothers in Nangong Jingzhi's generation, the eldest Nangong Jingzhi, the second brother Nangong Jingren, and the third brother Nangong Jingyong.
Nangong Jingren, currently a bachelor of the Imperial Academy, is a popular figure around the old emperor and the person with the highest official position in the Nangong family.
Nangong Jingyong, although he has no official status, is a master of martial arts. He has been wandering around the world for many years, doing chivalry and righteousness, and is highly respected by heroes in the world.
These three brothers all have a place in the officialdom, the local government, and the world, and the next generation of the Nangong family has a Nangong Shou. It seems that it will be difficult for the Nangong family to decline in the next hundred years.
At this time, Nangong Jingzhi was holding a document from the Ministry of War, looking at his son and saying: "Shou'er, you are already a master of martial arts. Although traveling around the world to help the strong and help the weak can be regarded as sharing the country's worries and resolving the people's problems, after all, the pattern is a bit small. !My father asked your second uncle to get you a job at the Ministry of War, which is the post of governor of Mayi County. I hope you can keep peace for the country."
Nangong Shou straightened up and took the document, and said calmly: "Shou'er will definitely live up to his father's expectations and keep peace in the world!"
I saw Nangong Jingzhi saying worriedly: "My father knows that you have a strong temper and can't tolerate any sand in your eyes! But after taking office, you must act steadily and act in accordance with military regulations and national laws. You must not bring the Jianghu way of doing things into the army." In the middle, Mayi County is only close to the border and has been harassed by Tiemo Le all year round. As a general, you must not act on impulse. Everything must be carefully considered. You must know that every move you make is related to the life and death of the people of Mayi County!"
Nangong Shou knelt down on one knee and said: "Father, don't worry, Shou'er must put the lives of the people and the safety of the country first!"
Nangong Jingzhi nodded and said, "You will go to Mayi County to take up the post in a few days. Don't run out during this period and spend more time with your mother."
Her son is going to the border, so the mother is naturally worried, but no matter how reluctant or worried she is, the mother cannot hold her child back.
The woman pulled Nangong Shou and said, "Shou'er is unfamiliar with the place where you go. It's not like you who travel around the world and make a living with your martial arts skills. You have to rely on money to do things! Mom has been frugal these years. I have saved some money, and I originally planned to take it out when you get a wife, but now it seems that I can't wait until then! Just take it all with you, it will be more convenient to go there."
Nangong Shou didn't say anything, just nodded.
The woman then said: "Mom does not ask you to make any achievements, I only ask you to come back safely!"
Being a mother naturally talks a lot, and even after pulling Nangong Shou to give instructions for a long time, she still seemed to have a lot to say...
In the Imperial Palace of Daxing City, the eunuch Li Fuguo was sitting in the room warming up over the charcoal fire when he saw a carrier pigeon falling outside the wooden window and cooing. Li Fuguo opened the wooden window, took off the small bamboo tube from the pigeon's foot, and crushed the seal.
Beeswax, pull out the secret letter system and it looks...
A light snowfall had just fallen in Daxing City, and it was very dry and cold. Li Fuguo was seen wearing single clothes and hurried to the Dragon Palace.
As soon as Li Fuguo entered the door, he saw Emperor Hongdao sweeping the papers on the case to the ground and yelling: "A group of arrogant people, I must kill them!"
The emperor was angry and laid down millions of corpses. Unfortunately, Emperor Hongdao's thunderous wrath could only hit two dumb thunders in Daxing, and could not reach those officials who were entrusted with the border.
"Your Majesty, calm down, the dragon body is important!" Li Fuguo hurriedly bowed forward to persuade, while winking at the young eunuch.
The little eunuch hurriedly went to pick up the folds on the ground, but Emperor Hongdao kicked him over and cursed: "What a waste! What's the use of these folds? Why don't you just get out of here."
Then Emperor Hongdao looked at Li Fuguo and said: "Fuguo came just in time. Even 30% of this year's tax money has been confiscated! Those despicable people dare to deceive me. It's either a flood in the Yellow River, a plague of insects thousands of miles away, or a banditry that is difficult to get rid of. Change.
The only way to fool me is that I refuse to pay the full amount of taxes. Fu Guo, tell me, is my Great Qian Dynasty so unbearable?"
Li Fuguo knelt down, picked up the folds one by one, and said at the same time: "In the whole world, is it the land of the king? On the shore of the land, is it the ministers of the king? Your Majesty's world is so big, it is inevitable that there will be some natural and man-made disasters, and some taxes will be missing.
Silver is also normal. Your Majesty, please see if Jinan County has paid the tax in full, and it’s even 10% more!"
Emperor Hongdao sighed and said: "You don't need to comfort me. In all the counties and counties in the Qian Dynasty, only the Nangong family is still loyal to me! - By the way, I heard that Nangong Jingren made a plan for his nephew Nangong Shou.
Errand?"
Li Fuguo bowed and said: "The post of governor of Mayi County, I feel that it is overqualified and underused!"
Emperor Hongdao thought for a while and said: "It's a bit unfair. Let Nangong Shou stay in Mayi County for a year first, and then transfer him back in the spring of next year."
Li Fuguo muttered in his heart, "It's the end of the year soon, and that guy hasn't taken office yet. He will be transferred back in the spring of next year. It will take less than half a year!" and said in his mouth: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Emperor Hongdao smiled and said: "Many people have heard of me, Nangong Shou. He is a good man who is loyal to the country! Please remind me from the help of the country. In the spring of next year, I will appoint Nangong Shou as the general of Guide and the governor of Henan County.
Job."
After hearing Emperor Hongdao's words, Li Fuguo's heart skipped a beat. He frowned and removed the eunuchs and maids, and whispered: "Your Majesty plans to attack the Wang family!"
"It's time to take action. Otherwise, all over the country, we only know that there are aristocratic families but not the True Dragon Emperor!" Emperor Hongdao said, patting the fold that had just been picked up by Li Fuguo.
Emperor Hongdao was stubborn and it was difficult to change his decision. Li Fuguo bowed and said, "Do you need me to talk to that guy?"
"The God of War is getting older, so don't bother him with everything! I can handle the royal family of the Eastern Capital even before I'm old."
Li Fuguo hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, in his great prosperity in the Spring and Autumn Period, will surely be able to sweep away Xiaoxiao."
Emperor Hongdao smiled and said, "It's so late to assist the country. Is there something urgent?"
"Replying to Your Majesty, there is a letter from the south. The strong autumn mood has cut through the Qinhuai River, and Yuchi's treasure has sunk to the bottom of the water forever." Li Fuguo handed over the secret letter and said.
After hearing the good news, Emperor Hongdao was in a good mood. After laughing several times, he suddenly asked: "Where is the little girl from the Mu family?"
"Back to Your Majesty, that little girl went back to the mountain to celebrate Zhang Yajiu's birthday a month ago."
Emperor Hongdao thought for a while and said: "I remember that there is a thousand-year-old ginseng tree in the inner treasury. If you ordered someone to send it to Zhujian Mountain, just say it was sent by the queen. Do you understand what I mean?"
Li Fuguo had been trying to figure out Emperor Hongdao's thoughts all his life. How could he not know the old emperor's thoughts? He couldn't help but bowed and said: "I understand, I will definitely find someone smarter to do it beautifully for your majesty."
Emperor Hongdao nodded, looked at Li Fuguo and said: "The King of Qi has been very troublesome recently. He almost reached out to the Jinwu Guards and asked Zu Buqi to come back to me day and night. Also, doesn't the prince have a warrior under his command?
When Zu Buqi comes back, you can find someone to recommend the warrior to Jinwu Guard. Oh, by the way, inform Liu Cairen that I will spend the night at her place tonight."
"Old slave, I have taken note of it." Li Fuguo bowed and resigned.
Li Fuguo knew the old emperor's thoughts very well. This Liu Cairen was a woman that Li Fuguo ordered to find among the people based on Mu Pinshan's portrait. Since Li Fuguo couldn't get Mu Pinshan into the palace, he had to find a substitute first and coax him.
The old emperor was happy.
After Emperor Hongdao saw Li Fuguo leaving, he did not go directly to Liu Cairen's place. Instead, he picked up the folders on the case. Emperor Hongdao read every folder carefully until he had read all the folders.
, and divided into two parts, one part is very thin and the top one is from Jinan County, while the other part is very thick.
Emperor Hongdao had no expression on his face, tapping the thick fold with his fingers, not knowing what he was thinking...
Emperor Hongdao was not yet in his sixtieth year, and he was not yet old enough to be frail, and he did not want to give up the power in his hands to others. Emperor Hongdao had tried his best to govern the country over the years, but he had no great talent and was stubborn.
Every year in his hands is getting worse.
During the years when Emperor Hongdao was in power, the Daqian Dynasty also produced several capable people and offered many good strategies. However, those people and those strategies were all kicked out by Emperor Hongdao. It was not that Emperor Hongdao was blind, nor was it those strategies.
Clumsy, but inconsistent with Hongdao's thoughts.
In the eyes of Emperor Hongdao, the strategies of these talented people all have a common problem, that is, if you want to pull Daqian out of the quagmire, you must plan it slowly, and it will take several generations to eradicate the stubborn disease. This is not easy.
Emperor Hongdao didn't want to wait. He wanted to cut through the mess quickly and eradicate the warlords of the aristocratic family once and for all.
How beautiful the idea is, how cruel the reality is. Emperor Hongdao stumbled all the way, but in the end he failed to turn the tide and help the building to collapse. Emperor Hongdao was about to enter his sixtieth year, but he didn't want to give up yet.
I want to give it a try one last time. In recent years, Emperor Hongdao, through the hands of Li Fuguo, has placed people in major aristocratic families and the military, just to have a final say.
The appointment of Nangong Shou as General of Guide and Governor of Henan County was not an impromptu decision by Emperor Hongdao. It was just that Nangong Shou happened to hit this juncture. In fact, if Nangong Shou had not been there, Emperor Hongdao would have arranged for someone else.
Emperor Hongdao just wants to see how your Dongdu Wang family reacts. If you rebel, he will directly send troops to destroy your Wang family to scare the monkeys. If you don't rebel and your Wang family loses military power, it will be a fish on the chopping board and can only be slaughtered by others.
share.
Emperor Hongdao walked out of the Dragon Palace and looked at the palace dyed white with a confident smile on his lips...
