Chapter 1294 Jia Heng: The world is not the world of one family and one surname
In Prince Zhou's mansion, in the backyard, in the three-story attic——
The rocks are jagged, and the stone bridge with blue bricks and white walls looks like an arching moon. The mirror-like water surface reflects the lion pattern carved on the stone bridge. Occasionally, the breeze blows, causing the water surface to ripple in circles.
And in a majestic and majestic attic with cornices and hooks, there were bursts of "brushing" sounds and the sound of piano music.
Chen Xiao was wearing a plain white dress and holding a three-foot sheathed sword. She was jumping up and down. Her figure was as graceful as a swimming dragon, and her sword skills were like frost. It was really beautiful.
In the attic, there were also Princess Xianning and Princess Qinghe Li Chanyue and Song Yan.
The three of them were sitting next to a small lacquered wooden table, drinking tea and talking. Li Chanyue was stroking the strings of the piano with her hands and playing with them. The clear and clear sound of the piano was like the tinkling of a mountain spring, pouring down like big beads and small beads.
Falling jade plate.
Song Yan held the petite fair face in her hands and looked at Chen Xiao who was dancing with the sword. Her clear eyes were blank and she didn't know who she was thinking of.
At this time, a nanny almost trotted over from the moon gate in the courtyard, and said with a smile: "Princess, I have learned the latest news about the Duke."
Chen Xiao usually sends people to the Ministry of War to keep an eye on Jia Heng's news.
"clang…"
The sound of the piano couldn't help but be confused, and in Chen Xiao's hand was a long sword with a shark scabbard. The scattered sword light suddenly merged into one, and the beauty with cold eyebrows stood on the spot.
The face as white as jade was dripping with sweat, glistening under the sunlight, and under the two green and curved eyebrows, there was a hint of surprise in the bright eyes.
"The Duke of the country won a great victory in the Japanese country. This time he went to the palace to express his merits and granted marriage to the two girls Xue Lin from the Jia Mansion." The nanny smiled and said.
At this moment, Princess Xianning stood up from her chair, smiled and said, "Is this another marriage gift to your husband? The two of them hadn't gotten married yet last time."
The nanny smiled and said, "Your Highness, that's not all. They say that the daughter of the Qin family, the wife of Duke Wei, will be made the county head."
Princess Xianning was surprised and said: "County Lord is a title that can only be given to the daughter of a county prince. Your husband has made a great contribution to the establishment of the Japanese country this time. Go ask the people in front to ask the Ministry of War and copy a detailed military report."
Come."
When the grandma heard the words, she quickly responded.
Li Chanyue, the princess of Qinghe County, curved her willow-leaf slender eyebrows, and her eyes with stars shining like stars, said: "My two sisters, Xue Lin, have been waiting for two or three years. This marriage is considered a reward."
I wish."
Princess Xianning nodded and said, "I just didn't ask cousin Yan'er to marry me."
Song Yan, who was sitting next to her, her cheeks flushed with shame, lowered her head and held her handkerchief.
Brother Heng bullied her back then, and supposedly he was the one who granted her the marriage. I don’t know when.
Princess Xianning's Qingli eyebrows showed a thoughtful look, and said: "As for being named the county lord, the military merits of the Japanese country are obviously not enough to be granted the title of county king, so I can only be kind to my descendants. It's just a small reward. When I enter the palace tomorrow, I will tell my mother.
With just one click, cousin Yan'er was promised to come over."
Song Yan huffed and said, "Cousin."
Chen Xiao took a towel handed by the maid and wiped his smooth jade forehead. The sweat was crystal clear, and said softly: "The affairs of Japan are over, and he will be back soon."
As this period of time passed, the girl still missed her.
Princess Xianning had a look of sadness on her bright eyebrows and said: "Yes, as we talk, several months have passed, and my husband has not touched the ground every day."
It has been two years since she passed away, and her stomach has not moved.
Chen Xiao said: "I should be back in a month or two."
While the two were talking, Chen Xiao turned to look at them and said, "Okay, I'm going to take a bath. You and Chan Yue don't stay here."
Tonight, she was going to meet her master to discuss what to do next.
After he solved the Japanese and Korean states, it was only a matter of time before Liaodong was pacified. If he didn't prepare as soon as possible, it would be a matter of time before he would be suspected by that person and deal with him.
There is also a beautiful lady in the palace who is pregnant. She may reveal her pregnancy at any time and it will be a disaster.
…
…
Kunning Palace, in the palace
The hustle and bustle of the Shangyuan Festival had just passed, and Empress Song was sitting on a soft couch covered with a mattress with Concubine Duanrong, talking.
After a few months passed, the beauty's belly bulged like a ball, and her beautiful face was plump, white, and covered with bright red clouds. With her gorgeous and spacious palace clothes, she became more dignified and brighter.
A few months had passed since she was pregnant with Liujia. Now her belly was getting bigger, and her face was plump and mature.
Concubine Duanrong asked: "How are you feeling, sister, lately?"
Queen Song said: "I'm just a little sleepy, but otherwise I'm fine."
After all, she has given birth to two sons, so this beauty has rich experience in raising babies.
Concubine Duanrong said casually: "Prince Liang has been in the south for so long and he hasn't come back yet."
Empress Song said softly: "Your Majesty has stolen your love this time. The third and fourth brothers should come back during this time. Wei'er should be back by then."
At this moment, the eunuch came quickly and said, "Your Majesty has arrived."
While speaking, Emperor Chongping walked into the palace, stared into Empress Song's beautiful eyes, and said with a smile: "Zitong, have you had lunch now?"
Empress Song caught the joy between Emperor Chongping's brows and said, "Your Majesty, why are you so happy?"
Emperor Chongping smiled and said: "Ziyu defeated the Jurchen soldiers under Azig in the Japanese country, and annihilated 40,000 Eastern captive soldiers and horses. North Korea and the Japanese country surrendered to my great Han Dynasty. I am very happy."
Under the slender eyebrows of Empress Song, her charming eyes could not hide her joy, and she said softly: "This..."
The little fox won another battle? This time the teacher should be back.
Concubine Duanrong said softly: "It seems that it has been over for half a year, and we have won the battle again."
For the beauty, it was not a big surprise. If one day Jia Heng was defeated, it would be a shock to the beauty.
Emperor Chongping said: "Yes, we won the battle, and today I will talk about the merits of the New Deal. As the person who first advocated the New Deal, Ziyu was busy with it. Because I had said before, I will grant marriage to Xue and Lin.
Give him the title of first-class imperial concubine, and as for the merits of establishing the Japanese kingdom and Korea, I will send it to him for the time being, so that his daughter will be the county head."
Concubine Duanrong condensed her slender eyebrows, her jade face was gorgeous, her beautiful eyes were as moist as water, and she said: "Your Majesty, the county owner is the title of the daughter of the county king, right? Ziyu, he is not the prefect of Jin yet.
King?"
Emperor Chongping smiled and said, "Not yet. If Ziyu pacifies Liaodong, he will definitely be granted the title of Prince."
As for princes with different surnames, that is simply impossible. Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, there have been no princes with different surnames. This is an iron rule.
Empress Song said softly: "Actually, I was thinking of marrying my natal niece to Zi Yu."
Emperor Chongping asked: "Your niece? Song Yan?"
Empress Song's beautiful face smiled sweetly and said: "Yan'er has been running to Jia's house for a while, and Ziyu is so provocative, so it is inevitable that she will fall in love with him."
Emperor Chongping was silent for a moment, sighed, and said with emotion: "He is really romantic and passionate. My daughter and niece are all devoted to him. I don't know what the world thinks of him."
When the fair-skinned beauty heard this, her heart skipped a beat.
This is not just a daughter and niece...
Thinking of those past events, there was an inexplicable throbbing deep in the beauty's heart, and she reached out her hand to caress her swollen belly.
Emperor Chongping said: "There is no rush now. When Jia Ziyu comes back, there will be no rush to marry him."
After saying that, he added: "Today Ziyu mentioned the fundamental strategy that will never change the country, which has answered my long-standing doubts."
If customs trade profits can be used to replace agricultural taxes, then it will basically solve the cycle of chaos in ancient dynasties, that is, land annexation, peasant bankruptcy, and the cyclical law of ancient dynasties.
But the cyclical law of human nature exists in another way.
However, Emperor Chongping never thought that the prosperity of this kind of commodity economy would give birth to a monster, which would then destroy the feudal monarchy.
Empress Song was in a trance, and she seemed to be a little distracted and said: "He has more fantastic ideas."
It's not just a whimsy, but something else...
Emperor Chongping looked at the charming beauty and said warmly: "Zitong, King Wei is following Ziyu on the expedition this time. He has been busy back and forth, and it has been quite hard."
Empress Song's fair-skinned face smiled sweetly, and said softly: "It is right for him to share your Majesty's worries."
Emperor Chongping nodded and said nothing else.
The King of Chu also contributed a lot to the supply of military supplies for the frontline army, so the two vassals should conduct further inspections.
…
…
Japan, Edo
At this moment, it is already the February season of the 18th year of Chongping. The willows are new and the vegetation is lingering. When they rise with the wind, the silk willows are caressing, like a beautiful woman waving, lush and beautiful.
In the shogunate's residence, in the study——
Jia Heng still didn't know that Emperor Chongping had already given Chai Dai to him in marriage because of his achievements in the New Deal and the Japanese country. At this moment, Mu Sheng, the crown prince of Dongping County, was invited to discuss the strategy of the Han army to stay in the Japanese country.
"Young Prince Mu, the name of the feudal lord of the Japanese country, wants more from my firearms. I, a big man, cannot leak the firearm-related manufacturing techniques to the Japanese country, in case they steal the knowledge and use it to deal with us one day." Jia Heng looked at him under his sharp eyebrows.
The cold light flashed in his heart and he said.
In fact, mainly because of the craftsmen, and simply relying on the explosion of production capacity, the Japanese country could not compete with the Han Dynasty.
Mu Sheng pondered: "When the garrison generals and soldiers live on the island, they will inevitably come into contact with the Japanese, and some firearms-making skills will be learned from them. It is only a matter of time."
Jia Heng warned and continued: "I will send the Jinyi Mansion's personal guards to set up a mansion here to conduct extensive inspections and help the army to spy on intelligence and investigate spies."
Mu Sheng nodded and said: "With Jinyi Mansion watching, the leak can be delayed."
Then, he looked at Jia Heng and asked, "When does Duke Wei plan to return to Beijing?"
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "After this month, it is time to set off. After the Denglai Navy is transferred to Edo, it is necessary to prepare a new naval division to guard our East China Sea. I am planning to build a new naval division in Denglai and Weihai.
, Tianjin and other places to prepare for the establishment of an East China Sea naval division and integrate coastal garrison posts in order to conquer Liaodong."
The Han Dynasty should have the East China Sea Navy, Nanhai Navy, Jiangnan Navy and Beihai Navy. After the Jurchens are pacified, the Nine Borders can be abolished. It is only right to transfer the huge military expenditures to the Navy.
This idea of opening up territory for China and seeking greater living space for future generations may not be accepted by the descendants of the Chen and Han Dynasties.
Thinking about it this way, it seems difficult for him to realize his ambitions if he is not in power.
The world is not the world of one family and one surname, but the world of billions of people.
And what will he do after all when he comes to this world?
It can be said that this is the pursuit of the highest value of self-realization after people get rid of low-level survival, safety and sexual needs.
Mu Sheng pondered for a moment and said: "If we can send ships from Tianjin, Weihai and other places directly to Liaodong, and attack Liaodong together with the soldiers and horses in the pass, it won't be long before the Jurchens in Shengjing become the turtle in the urn."
Jia Heng nodded and said: "The pacification of Liaodong is not far away. Last year, the New Deal was greatly promoted. The weather in the Han Dynasty was good and the national treasury was prosperous. There will be another year this year. The opportunity to use troops is ready, and it is time to wait for the right time."
Now we are about to enter February of the 18th year of Chongping. It will probably be the 19th year of Chongping next year, when we can launch a large-scale army to conquer Liaodong.
During this period, preparations were made for building up a naval force and accumulating provisions.
Mu Sheng's face paused slightly, and he nodded and said: "Duke Wei, if Liaodong can be pacified, Duke Wei will definitely be famous in history, and he will be crowned the king of the county."
Jia Heng said: "Promoting to be promoted to a higher position, fame and wealth are not what I have in mind. I just want to repay the favor of the Holy Master."
Mu Sheng asked: "After Liaodong is pacified, it seems that Duke Wei will lead the navy to expand the sea frontier?"
Jia Heng pondered for a moment and said: "If there is peace in the world, horses are released in Nanshan, and swords and guns are put into storage, within ten or twenty years, the world's soldiers will not experience war, corruption will be rampant in generals and schools, civil war will be rampant, and internal and external troubles will occur frequently. We need
Find something for the people of the world to do. Once the Jurchens are destroyed, we will disband millions of troops from all nine sides and put them into the sea."
This is the true law of dynastic cycles, and land annexation is just a form of people's desire for comfort and material desires.
In other words, even if one day mankind enters the age of the universe and galaxies, such as Asimov's Galactic Empire, land will no longer be the main source of wealth, and there will be abandoned planets everywhere for farming.
This cyclical law of rebellion at the bottom is also inevitable.
"If you go out, you will be invincible against foreign threats; if you go in, you will be unable to control your troops, and your country will be permanently destroyed." Mu Sheng said with an aggressive look under his sword-shaped brows and a nod.
Jia Heng said: "Besides, I, a big man, also need to trade with foreign countries to support the people of the world, and do light corvee and low taxes in the interior. Otherwise, I will spend extravagantly and exploit the people."
When Mu Sheng heard this, he looked at the young man and felt shocked in his heart.
This man is truly unparalleled in his country and rare in the world.
After sending away Mu Sheng, the crown prince of Dongping County, Jia Heng summoned Jinyi's personal guard Qianhu Li Shu and said: "You leave Jinyi Mansion and establish a branch of Jinyi Mansion in Edo to cooperate with Prince Mu.
, I have been writing a memorial in the past few days to recommend you to the palace as the governor."
In fact, Liu Jixian has the strongest ability, but because he is still in the capital, he cannot be transferred here.
When Li Shu heard this, his cheeks turned red, he cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Governor."
"When things are done in the future, I will recommend you as my commander." Jia Heng said loudly.
Li Shu looked solemn and raised his hands.
After Li Shu left, Jia Heng turned his calm gaze to the majestic city shrouded in hazy mist and rain.
The Shimazu clan of the Japanese country will also have to deal with it in the future, but that will only happen after he takes full control of the national affairs of the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, if he loses power, it is inevitable that he will die and his government will cease to exist. Even from this point of view, history has chosen him.
…
…
While Jia Heng was conversing with the King of Wei, on the official road outside Edo City, the sharp spring breeze was blowing the withered branches beside the road.
After a month of traveling, Emperor Meisho arrived at this city that had just been baptized by the flames of war in a chariot pulled by four horses with maroon manes.
Then the Emperor of Light, Shao Ren, was dressed in the uniform of a young warrior. He was handsome and walked out of the city quickly. He raised his eyes to look at the quiet woman and said with a smile: "Sister, you are here."
Emperor Meisho opened the curtain on the carriage, and under his lush hair tied up in a beautiful bun, his sweet and lovely face was as plump as clouds, and his pink lips were slightly gleaming with crystal luster.
At this moment, the sun was shining down, and that pink and plump face was white and rosy, bright and charming, just like a blooming azalea.
Emperor Gomitsu was riding on the side, pulling the reins, and walking together, saying: "Sister, this city just fought a battle before, and it is still being repaired. The imperial palace is also being rebuilt at the moment. My sister is temporarily living in the Tokugawa Shogunate's house.
Mansion."
Emperor Meisho nodded and said: "The construction of the Imperial Palace is not in a hurry. Now that the country is experiencing war, it is not appropriate to carry out such a large-scale construction project."
"The Duke of Wei is currently in the shogunate's residence. He said he wanted to see his sister." Emperor Goguang said with a smile.
Emperor Meisho's beautiful eyes were shining softly under his curved eyebrows, and he said softly: "It's a little inconvenient right now."
Emperor Gomitsu said softly: "My sister was once the emperor, so it doesn't matter if she represents our country."
Entering the shogunate's residence, we came to the temporary imperial palace on the southwest side to stay.
Emperor Hou Guangming said: "Sister, I have held a small banquet in the house to welcome my sister and wash away the dust. Later, the Duke of Wei will also come to the table to talk."
Emperor Meisho nodded, his pink lips slightly parted, and he spoke in a clear Chinese tone and said: "Brother, go over first. I will change my clothes and go over later."
Jia Heng was currently in the study room where successive Tokugawa family heads lived, holding a volume of Tokugawa Ieyasu's notes in his hand and looking at it.
It was already evening, the sky and the earth were changing, the vision was dim, and the slanting wind and drizzle could be seen falling on the lush vegetation.
Since February has entered, the spring rain has also fallen, the buds have emerged, and the mood of spring is full.
Jia Heng put down the book in his hand, but he was thinking about the matter in Shenjing.
Speaking of which, it has been half a year since I came from Shenjing City. Whether it is Zhen Qing and Zhen Xue from Jiangnan or Jinyang, I can't help but miss them a little.
At this time, the guards outside reported that Emperor Gomitsu was asking for an audience in the corridor.
Jia Heng stood up and quickly came under the eaves of the corridor. He raised his eyes and looked at the Emperor Hou Guangming who came from the Moon Gate.
Jia Heng asked: "What's the matter with the Emperor?"
At this moment, the domestic edict had not yet reached the Japanese country, so Jia Heng showed some respect for Shao Ren.
Emperor Hou Guangming smiled and said: "Duke Wei, my sister has arrived from Kyoto and is resting in the palace. If Duke Wei doesn't abandon her, she can go to her villa and have a dinner together."
Jia Heng was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said: "This..."
After thinking for a while, he stretched out his hand and said, "Lead the way."
In fact, I am also a little curious about what this Japanese female emperor looks like.
Following the emperor Shao Ren of the Later Light, he came to a house along the corridor. At this moment, the lights in the house were on, and a group of nuns and servants were busy inside and outside.
