"Northern Xinjiang is aggressive. After conquering Kunzhou, Yang Xuan's ambition can no longer be concealed."
In the duty room, Zheng Qi waved his arms to strengthen his tone, "If he only attacked Neizhou, he could explain it by removing the threat from Bei Liao to Northern Xinjiang. But why did he attack Kunzhou? Neizhou was blocking it.
Kunzhou cannot directly threaten Northern Xinjiang. Therefore, he is ambitious!"
In the duty room, the abbot was reading documents. Several officials listened to Zheng Qi's analysis and nodded frequently.
Outside, several petty officials stood with their hands tied.
This was a meeting, and the discussion was about official matters, but before it even started, Zheng Qi came. He started talking about Northern Xinjiang, but kept quiet about Yang Xuan's ambition.
Outside, a clerk raised his head and whispered: "That's wrong!"
These few petty officials came with the officials.
"Why is it wrong?" asked another clerk.
The clerk said: "Is it wrong to attack Beiliao?"
Several petty officials looked at him, hesitating to speak, and finally fell silent.
yes!
Was it wrong to attack the great enemy of the Tang Dynasty?
"...If we attack Kunzhou today, will we attack Longhuazhou tomorrow? And later on, will we attack Ningxing? The ambition is clear!"
Zheng Qi became more and more excited as he talked.
The father-in-law coughed dryly, interrupted his performance, and pointed to the teacup on the table in front of him.
"Drink some tea!"
"yes!"
Zheng Qi sat down.
Yang Songcheng said: "The Ministry of Revenue should keep a close eye on all places in Chang'an, and those who are trafficking large quantities of grain to Northern Xinjiang should keep this in mind."
"yes!"
Several officials looked at each other.
Today’s issue is actually how to lock down Northern Xinjiang?
But northern Xinjiang and the south are bordered everywhere. Unless millions of troops are mobilized, how can it be locked?
Therefore, the symbolic significance of this move is greater than the practical significance.
Just like when Bei Liao wanted to ban smuggling, the area bordering Bei Liao and Datang was too wide. The defenders were exhausted and still couldn't stop those merchants who took risks for money.
The consequences of banning smuggling will be higher prices for goods and higher profits.
Later, even the defenders were involved in smuggling. When it was discovered that there were nobles in Ningxing who were involved, the blockade operation was stopped.
An official suggested, "The Ministry of Revenue controls the world's money and food. Not only must the food be locked up, but the coins must also be taken care of!"
Even the Northern Liao and Southern Zhou Dynasties liked the copper coins of the Tang Dynasty. Once they were cut off, the consequences of money shortage would be serious.
An official coughed dryly and said, "That's it! Don't talk nonsense!"
The official frowned, "Is what I said wrong?"
The official said: "If the exchange of coins is cut off, will Northern Xinjiang... be able to mint coins on its own due to the money shortage?"
Well!
This problem is very complicated!
Once Northern Xinjiang mints its own coins, it will not be far from breaking away from the Tang Dynasty.
“There is no copper in Northern Xinjiang!”
"Yang Xuan is domineering. Even if there is no copper, why can't he seize the copper mine? Don't forget, the nearest copper mine is only more than three hundred miles away. Once Yang Xuan takes the risk, Chang'an in northern Xinjiang becomes a sign.
He can throw away this sign and stand on his own at any time. Can you afford the consequences?"
"He dares?"
"You've forced people to run out of money, do you think they dare?"
"He said he would live up to the Tang Dynasty in this life!"
"The prerequisite for living up to the Tang Dynasty is that the Tang Dynasty will live up to him!"
"What do you mean by what you said, the Tang Dynasty did not let him down?"
"Do you think everyone is an honest person and can be flattened and rounded by you? There were some old monsters in the palace back then, and their bones were eventually buried in Northern Xinjiang. Do you think Yang Xuan, who dared to kill people in the palace, is easy to talk to?"
A follower appeared outside the door, bowing his head slightly.
Yang Songcheng waved his hand: "Just step back first!"
"yes!"
Yang Songcheng didn't care how much results this meeting could produce, he just took advantage of this meeting to show off.
After everyone left, the entourage came in.
Yang Songcheng took a sip of tea and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Zhang Jiao Lin was assassinated!"
Yang Songcheng's hand holding the tea cup tightened slightly, and then asked: "How long did it take?"
"Just before, Jiao Lin died at the hands of a female assassin. At this moment, it is estimated that more than ten people were dispatched in Northern Xinjiang."
Yang Songcheng took another sip of tea, his expression calm with a touch of coldness, "It seems that this guy has a good face!"
An aide came in and said, "My lord, Jiao Lin has been assassinated. The Jinwu Guards have surrounded the Beijiang Guild Hall and are ready to take action!"
"idiot!"
Yang Songcheng sneered: "There is no evidence, how can we take action? Once we take action, Yang Xuan will find an excuse to attack us. If they take down the Beijiang Guild Hall today, are they not worried about Beijiang taking down their people?"
Northern Xinjiang is now prosperous in commerce, and many powerful and powerful merchants in Guanzhong have business there. After angering Yang Xuan, one guy confiscated them all. How many people can hate Jin Wuwei and Yang Songcheng to death?
"Let them go!"
"yes!"
The entourage went out and came back not long after, "The father-in-law of the country, Jiao Lin's family came to ask for an audience. They were crying and said that they wanted to ask the father-in-law to take care of the children..."
Yang Songcheng said calmly: "Don't Jin Wuwei have any pension?"
"have!"
The follower lowered his head and said, "I understand, the villain."
This matter has nothing to do with the father-in-law!
There are many kinds of dogs, and domestic dogs should be treated kindly and comforted.
But wild dogs are different and it's best to stay away.
In the eyes of the state leader, Jiao Lin is just a wild dog!
If you die, you will die!
…
In the palace, the emperor also received the same news.
"Retribution is bound to happen, and the means are as sharp as thunder."
The emperor waved his hand and resigned from the stage.
Han Shitou said: "The Jinwu Guards can take action at any time."
The emperor sarcastically said: "There is no evidence, how can we take action? Once we take action, the traitor will be called Qu. It is useless for others to call him Qu, but if he calls him Qu, the soldiers and civilians in northern Xinjiang will roar with filial piety. A dog has a group of obedient cattle and sheep.
Hey! Cows and sheep!”
Han Shitou said: "The King of Yue previously asked for an audience..."
"he?"
The emperor said: "Are you here to denounce Northern Xinjiang? Let the second son come too. I want to hear his opinion."
Later, King Wei entered the palace.
"Second brother, do you know that I have been waiting for you for half an hour?"
The king of Yue had a weak way.
King Wei ignored him at all.
"Yang Xuan killed Jiao Lin of Jinwu Guard!"
The King of Yue said with a smile.
"That's fine!"
King Wei didn't react at all.
When he saw the emperor, he was listening to King Jing's endorsement.
Tsk tsk!
This scene has not been seen for almost decades... When the prince was a few years old, Li Mi once asked him about his homework.
While King Jing was endorsing the letter, he looked at his two brothers with unconcealable envy in his eyes.
He will leave the palace in two years, but his mother's family is powerless, and he will be just an idle prince when he leaves the palace.
"Go for it!"
The emperor waved his hand as if chasing away a dog.
King Jing salivated, "Aye, it's rare for the two brothers to come here. I want to ask them for lessons."
The emperor glanced at him, as if he could see through his thoughts at a glance, and said calmly: "When you leave the palace, there will be many opportunities."
hehe!
Once out of the palace, who will recognize whom?
After King Jing left, the emperor looked at the two brothers and said, "Jinwu Guard Jiao Lin was assassinated, do you two know?"
The two nodded.
"Talk about it!"
The emperor said seemingly casually.
The King of Yue glanced at King Wei and said, "Aye, this must have been done by Northern Xinjiang. To assassinate the general in Chang'an is a provocation..."
The emperor listened very casually. When King Yue finished speaking, he pointed to King Wei and said, "Second brother, tell me."
King Wei said: "This matter originated from the father-in-law's bad mouth..."
King Yue: "..."
The corners of the emperor's mouth twitched, but were slightly raised.
"Then the people of the country's father took action first. To be honest, Northern Xinjiang was responsible. It was just because this was Chang'an that they acted unscrupulously.
If the good news comes and still doesn't let him go, then I can still take a high look at the abbot.
Letting people go seems to be adaptable, but it lacks blood.
Secondly, letting Jiao Lin wander around outside as a target seems to be a superb method, but in fact it is still a calculation.
I remember that the Yang family in Yingchuan required their children and grandchildren to act with dignity and dignity. But today, what I see is that they are just like flies and dogs, and they have secret plans."
The King of Yue noticed that the Emperor's expression was more focused, and he realized clearly in his heart that he and King Wei were asked to come today because he wanted to hear King Wei's opinion.
The father-in-law and the emperor decided to join forces to deal with Northern Xinjiang, but the emperor habitually thought of checks and balances, so he thought of his second son who was blacksmithing in the alley.
Whether this judgment is correct or not depends on the emperor's explanation.
"Second brother, come to the court when you have nothing to do." The emperor said earnestly: "When you get money and food every year, you must serve the country. You can't hide in the alley and be lazy."
King Wei was silent and did not say whether he would agree or not.
If it were the king of Yue, he would probably be secretly overjoyed.
The two resigned and left.
"Second brother, Aye will definitely use you in the future!" King Yue said with a smile.
"Can I give it to you?" King Wei said.
"But you can't give it!"
"That's it if I don't come."
The King of Yue looked carefully and found that King Wei was serious.
"Don't hurt me!"
The King of Yue smiled bitterly, "If Aye thinks that I forced you to leave, and turns around, he will deal with me!"
"Your princess looks good, be careful!"
King Wei left behind a word and walked away.
The King of Yue stood there and cursed for a long time: "Cao Te Niang!"
No one knew who he was criticizing.
Presumably, he himself doesn't know.
The news of Jiao Lin's assassination shocked the city of Chang'an.
"Princess!"
Zhang Jing hurried in.
Nian Ziyue is reading a book in the room.
There were many novels written in Chang'an, but compared with those of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, they pale into insignificance.
Every time a caravan or envoy came to Chang'an, they would bring many novels to Nian Ziyue for her entertainment.
She put down the book, looked at Zhang Jing with her smart eyes, and opened her red lips slightly, "Can it be confirmed?"
Zhang Jing nodded. "It's confirmed. The merchants in Bei Liao are quite frustrated, saying that once Kunzhou is lost, the host and guest will change positions. Princess, Bei Liao is unreliable."
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Tang Dynasty has been eyeing the Southern Zhou Dynasty. Fortunately, the Northern Liao Dynasty has been watching from the north. Once the Tang Dynasty moved south, it would raise troops to contain it, and this was how the Southern Zhou Dynasty enjoyed hundreds of years of peace.
Therefore, every year the Southern Zhou Dynasty would pay tribute to the Northern Liao Dynasty, including gold, silver, jewelry, and various specialties. It looked like a tribute from a vassal state to the heavenly kingdom.
All this is for peace.
Someone in the Northern Liao Dynasty joked that the Northern Liao Dynasty was like a father to his son to the Southern Zhou Dynasty.
Without the father of Bei Liao, Southern Zhou would have been wiped out long ago.
Southern Zhou acquiesced in this humiliating statement.
But now this father is beaten all over his head...
"In other words, if the Tang Dynasty goes south, it is impossible for the Northern Liao Dynasty to send troops?" Nian Ziyue couldn't hide his disappointment.
"The follow-up depends on whether Beiliao can successfully counterattack." Zhang Jing discussed this matter with the accompanying generals. "If it can succeed, then there is still something to be done...princess!"
Zhang Jing was a little puzzled when she saw Nian Ziyue shaking his head.
"Can't!"
Nian Ziyue sighed, "That man never acts impulsively. Since he has captured Kunzhou, he is sure to be able to block Beiliao's counterattack. Zhang Jing, prepare your car!"
"Where to go?"
"Beijiang Guild Hall!"
"Princess!" Zhang Jing was stunned, "What are you going to do there?"
Nian Ziyue stood up and said, "Bei Liao will be unreliable from now on. If Dazhou wants peace, it must find another strong backer."
"Then it's better to show goodwill to Chang'an!" Zhang Jing felt that Nian Ziyue had put the cart before the horse.
"Showing favor to Chang'an? Once Da Zhou shows favor to Chang'an, it is showing weakness. I have seen a lot of people like these in Chang'an, and they are good at bullying the weak and fearing the strong. If you show weakness, they will become more vicious."
Nian Ziyue walked out, "I'm afraid this world is about to change."
The carriage went all the way to Beijiang Guild Hall.
Zhang Jing went to negotiate.
"Princess Nanyang? Wait a moment!"
Menzi was a little surprised, glanced at the carriage, and turned around to go in.
"Princess Nanyang?"
Jiang Xing could already sit up and laughed when he heard this, "This woman is called the treasure of Southern Zhou! Do you understand what it means?"
Zhang Ba nodded, "This kind of woman is a scourge, and only a king can bear it. She had a relationship with the Duke in the past, and she is here now probably because of the conquest of Kunzhou."
"You are smarter." Jiang Xing was very pleased, "Let's meet her! The Duke of the country has made an explanation, so he should also talk to her."
Nian Ziyue was invited to the lobby and found that there was a screen in the lobby.
"Princess, please!"
Zhang Ba lowered his eyes slightly and did not look at her.
But in Chang'an, every man wanted to have his eyes glued to the princess, but this man avoided her, as if the princess was a nuisance.
No, with a little respect.
Why?
Zhang Jing was puzzled.
Nian Ziyue felt that this was a sign of respect.
She walked behind the screen and sat down, "I came here to ask how Northern Xinjiang views the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Sure enough, I came here for this matter.
However, this woman is able to get straight to the point and is very impressive.
It’s not bad to be a concubine for a generous woman!
Warm the quilt for the Duke and give birth to a few children...
What do I think?
Zhang Ba said: "The Duke once mentioned the Southern Zhou Dynasty."
"Oh! I would like to hear the details."
"The Duke of the State said that the general trend of the world will be united if it is divided for a long time, and it will be divided if it is united for a long time. This is the trend, which is like a great tide. Those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish."
This means that the Southern Zhou Dynasty will not last long. If given the chance, Yang Xuan will definitely destroy the Southern Zhou Dynasty.
Nianzi was angry, got up and came out, "There are millions of lions in Zhou Dynasty, are you afraid of him?"
Zhang Jing sneered, feeling that the timing of the princess's arrival today was wrong. Instead, Northern Xinjiang saw through Southern Zhou's weak posture. If the Duke of Qin knew about this... However, he was far away in Northern Xinjiang, and the Northern Xinjiang army could not cross the Tang Dynasty. !
So, this time it’s just a trial!
Now that I know Yang Xuan's thoughts, I will be on guard in the future.
"It's just a group of sheep." Zhang Ba said solemnly.
"Let's go!"
Nian Ziyue originally wanted to test his attitude, but his attitude was very tough.
Zhang Ba said: "The Duke said that he still remembers that girl. If anything happens to her, I will take care of it!"
Nian Ziyue stopped, and the young man holding him in the alley flashed through his mind.
The stars were brilliant that night. When she looked up at the starry sky, she also looked at the boy's eyes that seemed to be shining. Unlike those men who looked at her greedily, the boy was joking, as if to say: You are the one. What a disaster! Stop running around!
I want you to take care of it!
Nian Ziyue stamped his feet, "Go back!"
She hurriedly got into the carriage and lowered the curtain.
Outside the car, Zhang Jing sighed, "Princess, forget about him!"
As someone close to her, she silently watched as Nian Ziyue became excited when she heard the news about Beijiang, but became calm when she heard the news about Yang Xuan.

This is a cover-up! Princess!
That young man has already become a ferocious tiger, and he wants to destroy the ferocious tiger in Dazhou!
In the car, someone murmured: "But I can't forget him!"
