King Wei's life was very monotonous, consisting of eating, sleeping and drinking, and occasionally going to the state house to talk to Liu Qing and others who were facing formidable enemies.
There are many versions of the story of the emperor and the prince. For example, the prince begged the emperor to accept his mother-in-law. He said that the mother-in-law had all kinds of interesting things that his son did not dare to enjoy exclusively, so he asked Aye to taste them... and so on. There are different rumors.
And enough.
But everyone knows one thing: the prince is an unlucky man, and the emperor is shameless.
The shameless emperor naturally looked down on his concubine King Wei, so among the three sons, King Wei had the lowest possibility of counterattack.
The people of Northern Xinjiang are always self-aware and know that they are fools in the eyes of the nobles in Chang'an. Therefore, when it comes to wooing from nobles, unless they are not clear-headed, or motivated by profit, or they are frustrated and want to use the nobles to make a comeback.
Otherwise, no one would dare to accept King Wei's solicitation.
If the civil servants are out of luck, what about the generals?
People in northern Xinjiang admire a good man. If he can show his talents, he will probably be able to make friends with some generals.
But the opposite side is Northern Liao, and Northern Xinjiang cannot take the initiative to attack.
So all his cultivation was in vain.
The King of Yue is his legitimate son, and everyone knows that the prince is a loser. This is the advantage of the King of Yue. Secondly, the Tang Dynasty has the advantage in southern Xinjiang, and you can often hear news about southern Xinjiang beating foreigners severely.
Therefore, after comparing everyone, everyone felt that King Wei had no chance.
There were few cars and horses in front of Prince Wei's palace, and no one came to get close to him on weekdays, let alone give gifts to beauties.
King Wei traveled alone.
He went out for a walk, and when he came back, he ordered people to serve wine.
Just after I had a drink, Li Han came.
“Good wine!”
Li Han unceremoniously placed a jar of wine beside him, and when he raised his head, he took a bowl.
"No cup?"
"Need not."
King Wei was carrying a jar of wine and drinking wine.
"Hey!" Li Han said, "Someone intercepted me today and suddenly took action."
"Yeah!" King Wei raised his head and mouthed a few more words.
"That man was a little careless, and I stabbed him in the thigh, and then he ran away."
"Um!"
"That person's cultivation is much higher than mine."
"Um!"
"What else can you do besides hmm?"
"You've been talking for a long time, don't you just want to say that he is from the King of Yue?"
Li Han: "..."
The two of them drank wine to each other.
Li Han burped and said, "You are an unlucky guy. Look at the King of Yue. Even if he goes to southern Xinjiang, there are always good people around him. Your people... Huang Ping looks wretched, and the cultivation of those guards is only
That's the same thing."
King Wei's eyes turned red as he drank, "My mother-in-law has no backer, so she has to fight for everything on her own. My mother-in-law doesn't like to fight, and she has been bullied by those bitches since she entered the palace. Later, I grew up.
We started to fight, but we could only use our fists."
"You are only one person with your fists, but there are countless others." Li Han drank a bowl of wine. "Once people get together, they will find that they can compete for many benefits, so they will win over others. Even if you are a prince, you are alone.
How can we win against them?"
King Wei let out a wine belch and placed the giant knife on the table, with a cold look in his eyes.
"Fight or die!"
Li Han put down the bowl, "Like me, that bitch was extremely domineering back then. My mother said she was mad to death, but I always suspected she was poisoned. That bitch covered up all the traces."
"Aye?"
"Um!"
"My Aye robbed his daughter-in-law. Your Aye indulged his concubine and killed his wife. He almost beat you to death. The Li family is really interesting." King Wei laughed.
"Yes, interesting." Li Han turned blue after drinking.
"The king of Yue still cannot escape from such obscene patterns in his actions." King Wei said disdainfully: "If you want to investigate and test, just send people here, but using the name of giving gifts, this is like becoming a female prostitute. I also want to put on a coat called a chaste woman's coat. If he becomes an emperor, he will be no different from what he is now."
"They are all good at manipulating power, hahahaha!" Li Han couldn't help laughing.
The emperor was a master of political power, and the King of Yue seemed to be no less good now.
"He gave birth to several sons, but now it seems that it is the King of Yue who has inherited his mantle."
King Wei put down the wine jar, burped, and held the handle of his sword, "Do you know what I like to do when I drink too much?"
Li Han shook his head, "I don't know."
"kill!"
The giant sword suddenly unsheathed and then swung.
And he came for Li Han.
Shit!
Are you trying to kill me after drinking too much?
Li Han lay down subconsciously!
clang!
He lay on the ground, watching the giant knife pass over his body, and then sudden sparks splashed in the void, and a long knife painted gray flashed among the sparks.
The long knife shattered.
Blood spurted from the air, and a human head fell down, rolling to Li Han's ear, with his torso on the other side.
King Wei struck back with a sword.
Boom!
Blood spurts out in the void.
King Wei took a step forward, held the knife in both hands, and slashed forward.
clang!
A person suddenly appeared in the void. This person held a half-cut knife in his right hand and looked at King Wei intently. Gradually, tiny blood beads secreted from his forehead, and the blood beads continued to spread downwards.
The clothes were torn, and blood beads on the chest and extended downwards on the lower abdomen...
puff!
This man was separated from his head to the left and right, and was cut off from the middle of his body with a knife.
The guards swarmed over.
Sitting on the wall next door was Wang Laoer, who shouted at the top of his lungs: "Mr. Lang asked, do you want help?"
"Yes, come and drink!"
Wang Laoer muttered and shouted: "Lang Jun said that drinking wine is not as good as sleeping with a woman."
King Wei: "..."
Li Han: "..."
Wang Laoer scratched his head, "I remembered it wrong, it was the old thief who said it."
Yang Xuan wants to kill someone!
The old thief squatted in the corner and rolled his eyes wildly.
King Wei's backyard is like a slaughterhouse, there's no way he can stay there.
The two of them changed their clothes, and King Wei carried two jars of wine and prepared to go to the next door.
"You don't want to bring drinks?" King Wei said dissatisfied: "You drink harder than anyone else, but you never buy drinks."
Li Han said lazily: "You are strong and Zitai can make money, so I will wait to drink."
Damn it!
King Wei cursed and walked out of the door.
A black shadow suddenly rushed over.
He was holding the wine jar with both hands and was reluctant to smash it over.
Li Han stretched out his hand and patted it.
Meow!
A cat flew over and landed, its tail straight up, meowing at King Wei.
"It was caused by the smell of blood on your body."
"Shoot to death!"
"Cats are interesting, why should they be shot to death?"
"The poor raise dogs, the rich raise cats. A cat appears here, or is it a black cat? Don't you think it's weird?"
"There is a beauty over there." Li Han pointed to the opposite side.
King Wei raised his head and said expressionlessly: "When did this woman get a cat?"
Li Han wondered, "Do you know him?"
"That is my king's concubine..."
"Then you chat first, I'll go next door." Li Han heard about Princess Wei's reputation for being tough and prepared to avoid her.
"It's the woman next to the princess."
The woman looked quite majestic, looking close to her body.
"I have met the king."
"Talking about things."
"Yes." The woman said, "The King of Yue sent some gifts to the palace. The princess said that the King of Yue was a feminine person and she didn't like it, so she threw all the things out and said that the king was not here and she would not accept gifts from anyone."
"here you go."
"Slave, please retire."
"Go away."
"yes!"
Is this how King Wei and the princess get along?
Li Han thought back to his Prince Liang's Mansion, and it didn't seem that weird.
The two entered the next door.
"drink wine!"
After another fierce feeding, Yang Xuan's mouth twisted and his eyes squinted before he gave up.
"The methods the king mentioned are not like those of the Tang Dynasty, but more like the secret spies of the Southern Zhou Dynasty." Yang Xuan was not drunk at all, and analyzed with a belch.
"Southern Zhou, could it be that the King of Yue and the Southern Zhou colluded together?" King Wei's eyes were not kind. Yang Xuan dared to bet that if this matter was confirmed, the best way for the King of Yue would be to run all the way back to Chang'an, hide behind the emperor and shout
Dad help.
Yang Xuan pointed at Li Han, took the sobering soup from Zhang Siniang and drank it in a binge.
Damn it! It’s really unlucky to meet two wine jars.
Li Han took the hangover soup reservedly and nodded politely, "Thank you."
Damn your noble manners!
Yang Xuan's eyesight is not good.
King Wei was impatient and wanted to take action.
Li Han then said: "If the King of Yue colluded with the Southern Zhou Dynasty, he would not take action now. You must know that the prince is still there. If the assassination of the king is successful and only the prince and the King of Yue are left, what will happen to the prince?"
King Wei knew his brother's urine, "The prince will find a way to kill the king of Yue, and vice versa."
"So, this must be the method of Southern Zhou." Li Han said lazily: "The method is a bit rough, more like a hookup. I seem to see the lover of Southern Zhou ogling the King of Yue.
.”
King Wei looked at Yang Xuan.
Yang Xuan nodded, "If you use the lives of several secret spies to give the King of Yue a hint, this is something Qingsi can do."
Huang Ping finally couldn't help it anymore and interjected: "May I ask Yang Sima, why are you so sure?"
Yang Xuan put the bowl down.
The old thief said from the side: "Back then, Lang Jun killed dozens of secret spies from the Lovers' Division of the Southern Zhou Dynasty in Chang'an."
As if I haven't asked... Huang Ping shut up.
Yang Xuan closed his eyes, feeling that this situation was becoming more and more interesting.
It is inevitable that King Wei will not be able to open up a new situation in northern Xinjiang.
But the King of Yue seems to be a little at home in southern Xinjiang, like an old prostitute breaking into his daughter's kingdom.
…
Southern Xinjiang.
evening.
The King of Yue was reading in his study.
"Your Majesty." A maid came.
"What's the matter?"
"Shi Zhongtang asks to see you."
The corners of Yue Wang's mouth were slightly raised, and a coldness flashed in his eyes.
Later, he met Shi Zhongtang elsewhere.
"I have met the king."
Shi Zhongtang held a few books in his hand and said honestly: "I have read these books, but I still have a lot of doubts. I am brave enough to ask your Majesty for some advice."
There was a smile on King Yue's lips, which made people think of Mr. "What's wrong?"
"Here, and here..."
On the wall, the candlelight gradually illuminated the two figures together, making them look like a bloated person.
…
Military drills are in full swing.
Yang Xuan would stay there for half a day every day. After the drill, he would have a meal with the soldiers and then go to Zhouxi.
As soon as I entered Zhoushe, someone came to deliver a letter, "Yang Sima, I have your letter."
Yang Xuan asked eagerly: "Whose?"
"I don't know, I don't even dare to look at it."
The person who delivered the letter was a well-behaved person.
Yang Xuan took the letter, but it was not from Zhou Ning, but from Cao Ying.
The mark on the edge of the envelope was intact, indicating that it had not been peeped.
Entering the state house, Yang Xuan met Han Li.
The two happened to pass through the same passage. Yang Xuan glanced at him, then lowered his head to read the letter.
Han Li felt aggrieved, but he had to give it up and said, "I've seen Sima."
Yang Xuan raised his head, "Yeah!"
Han Li turned sideways and Yang Xuan walked by calmly.
Cao Ying mentioned in her letter the recent population expansion in Taiping.
Many prisoners from Northern Xinjiang were sent to Taiping. With the development of Taiping's trade, merchants from all over the place flocked to the city. They brought many people with them, so that the housing prices in Taiping City skyrocketed.
Cao Ying had a headache and asked Yang Xuan if he could submit a letter requesting the expansion of Taiping City.
Yang Xuan thought for a while and went to find Liu Qing.
"Expanding Taiping City is too expensive. I am too poor to have overnight food. If you can find money and food, expand it."
The old man was acting hooligan, and Lu Qiang was laughing beside him.
The dog said it!
It’s so hard to do things these days!
Yang Xuan sat in the check-in room without moving, and Liu Qing ignored him.
After a while, Yang Xuan thought of a way.
"Your Majesty, what if some people are relocated to Lin'an?"
Liu Qing said casually: "Taiping is now prosperous, who wants to come to peace?"
"Your Majesty agreed?"
"Well!" Liu Qing was thinking about something.
"Lu Biejia testified."
"Easy to say."
Yang Xuan got up and left.
Later, Liu Qing finished handling the matters in his hands and stretched himself, "What did the talented Zitai say just now?"
"There are too many people in Taiping, so we should move to Lin'an."
Liu Qing was startled, "Taiping..."
Lu Qiang said: "Your Majesty, Taiping are both good people."
"Mother Dute's are criminals. A group of them came to Lin'an. I was afraid that I would go crazy, so I went to look for him!" The old man realized that he had made a big mistake.
The clerk went to look for it, and when he came back he said: "Your Majesty, Yang Sima said that your Majesty is Yaliang, and he has sent people to Taiping to deliver a message."
Liu Qing covered his forehead and said angrily: "You kid, you tricked me."
Lu Qiang smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you can either expand Taiping City or relocate the excess people. There is no third way."
Liu Qing scratched his head, "I can't act arbitrarily on this matter, so I summoned them."
Later, the officials from the state gathered together.
"What? The people who migrated to Lin'an are coming to Lin'an?!" He Yi, who joined the army of Si Gong, opened his eyes wide. "Your Majesty, the people of Lin'an are simple and honest. When the Taiping people come, they just take it easy. The lower officials are worried... The city will be afraid from now on.
There is no peace anymore."
Lin Sen, a member of the judicial army, coughed dryly and said, "Yes! Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is inappropriate."
Liu Qing said with a cold face, "Should we let the extra people live outside the city? I asked you to wait, just to inform you."
The old man is too domineering.
Everyone dared to be angry but dared not speak out.
Han Li smiled and said: "Actually... I heard that Taiping is quite prosperous, and those people are afraid that they won't come to An'an."
Everyone was startled, and they all felt like they were in a daze.
yes!
The life of the Taiping people is now prosperous. How can you make them reluctant to leave?
hehe!
"Make you wise."
"This matter will be decided by the official."
Liu Qing, who was flattered for a while, looked gloomy and uncertain.
No one is stupid, and they all know that making a decision is one thing, but executing it is another.
But Yang Xuan didn't seem to take it seriously.
So much so that He Yihao, who was a member of the army and had joined the army, reminded Yang Xuan with a smile.
"Sima, this person is in the same group as Han Li." Zhen Siwen hung out in the prefecture for a while and basically found out the details of the officials.
"Good manners."
Yang Xuan nodded, and Zhen Siwen was overjoyed.
Yang Xuan found Liu Qing.
"Your Majesty, yesterday I met a foreigner from outside the country. I asked for advice. He said that Lin'an is not well-educated."
Liu Qing said with a cold face, "So."
"There is a prefectural school in Lin'an, but no county school. The lower officials are anxious."
"So." The little fox showed its tail, and Liu Qing had a headache.
"Xia Guan has nothing to do recently, so I asked you to organize the Lin'an County School."
"No money or food." The old man sneered, as if he saw the little cub's fox tail wagging desperately.
"Is your current official the kind of person who would cause trouble for your superior?"
