Chapter seven hundred and forty second: reformed
Chapter 742: Change your mind
Longxing Mansion is decorated with lights and colorful colors, and it is full of joy from top to bottom. Xixia is actually not a big country. It has always survived in the cracks. By counting it down, there is nothing to be proud of.
But now the Regent wiped out all the enemies attacked by the Jurchens in one fell swoop, which really made them proud.
The Regent led a team of vanguards back to the palace seven or eight days ago. Early in the morning today, many people discovered that a storm suddenly appeared on this street, with the heroic lieutenant, warrior, imperial guards and Song army. The front team was a team of cavalry, and the middle team was a string of Jurchen prisoners tied into strings of scattered ropes, and the back team was guarded by infantrymen. This long dragon was several miles long. It was estimated that at least 30,000 to 40,000 prisoners tied up by the ropes.
It is said that the Jurchen warriors captured it. The Regent also personally led the cavalry out of the border, attacked and killed the herdsmen outside the pass, and rushed out of the city, killed dozens of Jurchen princes and princes, captured the Jurchen empress dowager, brought back countless cattle and sheep, and there were as many as 70,000 horses in a single horse.
Those arrogant Jurchens who are usually arrogant now have their heads shook and can no longer see any pride. They all look haggard and tired, and even walk a little swaying. When the people along the street saw it, they couldn't help laughing, and a *** screamed: "Juchen dog." So many children patted their hands and followed behind the team and jumped and yelled: "Juchen dog, Jurchen dog..."
There was also a discussion in the teahouse. The Western Xia was mainly composed of the Western Qiang and the Han people. Needless to say, the Western Qiang people were no different from the Han people hundreds of years ago. When the founding of the Song Dynasty, the Li family was also the chieftain under the Song Dynasty. Except for some ethnic characteristics, the rest were mostly Chinese, whether it was language, writing, clothing, or customs. For example, this teahouse was also the place where the nation liked to visit the most.
Normally, the nation does not drink tea with the Han people. They often have one upstairs and one downstairs, but now they are different. In the hearts of the nation, whether they like or dislike the regent, they still have one thing in common and convinced!
If you don’t accept it, killing the Jurchens is like cutting melons. The Jurchens chased the Khitans and beat them up. The Khitans have always been suppressing the Dangxiang people and beat them up. The Regent jumped out and directly dealt with the Jurchens. Who dared not accept it?
For example, in this Qingtai Teahouse facing the street, there were many people on the second floor early in the morning, including Han and Dangxiang people, and occasionally Tubo people came up. When the team entered the city, at first, the races were clearly distinguished and had no connections, but now they were squeezing towards the window. Many eyes looked at the burly generals below, and then the ragged Jurchens, and they couldn't help but talk.
Someone with well-informed news also revealed: "After returning to the palace, His Highness the Regent said that he was discussing with the Supreme Emperor about the handling of these Jurchens. His Highness proposed that the nation set up a labor camp to specialize in managing these Jurchen slaves. In the future, it would be exempted from labor service. The Jurchen slaves would be allowed to do all the matters of water and road construction in the future."
Some people in the country's eyes lit up after hearing this. To say something rebellious, since Shen Ao's country's low position has plummeted, and many privileges have long been unworthy of their reputations. Many countries have even made much worse than the Han people. Han people can study and earn fame. If they really can't do it, they can still do business and earn wealth. Even if they are not good, they can always find something to do. However, the country has been lazy over the years. Without this privilege, life will become more and more difficult. Some ancestors who have kept their family business and are not happy.
Now that letting the nation manage Jurchen slaves is a way to lose a privilege, but also gain a privilege. They cannot bully others. At least this Jurchen slave can still bully him. Several national people who were looking out of the teahouse had already shown joy on their faces and couldn't help but say viciously: "If I were to take care of these Jurchen slaves, they would definitely not be able to survive or die."
At this moment, someone in the back team suddenly let the horse go over quickly, and everyone couldn't help but feel suspicious. Someone said, "It's six hundred miles to speed up. Could it be that something happened again? This is not good. Could it be that the Jurchen king was so angry that he was so embarrassed that he was coming to fight?"
The person who spoke showed a hint of fear on his face; but most people sneered, and some people said disdainfully: "With His Highness here, why are the Jurchen kings doing? Even if he attacks the country, his Highness can make them unable to bear it."
If Chen Ao heard these words, he had to go crazy and let him face the 300,000 Jurchen cavalry. He immediately took a bag and ran away and never stayed. Be kind, you should be kind. This is pushing the rich man Shen into the fire pit. It is not easy to make a fortune after finally making a fortune. If you don’t live a good life, will the birthday boy want to hang himself?
Everyone had different opinions and watched the expedited fast horse head towards the Xixia Palace.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Now Manjushri Pavilion has become the place for Chen Ao's study and office work. When he returned to Longxing Mansion, he suddenly became idle and could hand over many official duties to his subordinates. It was not that he suddenly became lazy, but that in the past, his prestige had not been established and the forces in various places were ready to move, and he had to deal with various affairs in every detail. But now, everyone knows that the status of the Regent's regent has been stable enough to be stable. Some people are raising trouble and rebelling, which is no different from dying.
Since he can be lazy, why not steal? This is Chen Ao's way of dealing with the world. He would rather sit in this Manjushri Pavilion and brew a pot of hot tea, hum a little song and read a book, and be dazed, than touching the things on the desk. He was quite at ease with Yang Zhen. Anyway, there was a minister of the Ministry of Personnel and the Minister of the Secretariat to show him. It really didn't work. He fucked the guy and fed the dog, and the world would be pure. Anyway, no matter what, rebellion would never happen in Xixia. As for Yang Zhen, if he dared to fool him, he would not even think about it. In Xixia, many people have been staring at Yang Zhen's position for a long time, waiting to make mistakes and replace him. There is never a shortage of people who make small reports. Chen Ao has to do just to distinguish the authenticity of the small reports.
So when he returned to the palace, Chen Ao teased Chen Qi, talked to Miaoer, and sat here. He wanted to think, he felt that there were many meaningful things in this world that he needed to plan. The most important thing was that he now had a lot of money and had to calculate the accounts clearly.
Holding a book in my hand, I read it absent-mindedly for a while, and was just bored. I knew that today was the day for the army to return, and wanted to take the time to go outside the palace to see Gui Zhihuan, and the sound of rapid footsteps came from outside.
"Your Highness, six hundred miles of speed up, the latest news from Bianjing."
A secret report was handed to Chen Ao's hand. Chen Ao took it and looked at it. His face suddenly changed and he said, "Where is the person who sent the message? Please come in and speak."
After a while, a burly general came in. Chen Ao wiped his eyes and couldn't help but rush up and gave the person a bear hug: "Haha... it turns out that he is my brother-in-law. ***, I look forward to seeing you."
"Preface...ah, Your Highness..." The person came was Zhou Heng. Zhou Heng was reborn from the image of a fat man. His clear face was slightly vicissitudes, with a tiger's back and bear's waist, and the leather belt around his waist was tightly tied, making him look more and more heroic. Seeing Chen Ao rushing over without any brains, he immediately took a step back and shouted: "Your Highness... don't... there is a difference between high and low... Your Highness..."
The words afterwards were too late. When Chen Ao hugged him, he hugged Chen Ao fiercely and couldn't help but say, "Cousin, why haven't you been in Xixia for so long? When I came, my sister came to ask, are you fascinated by a vixen again and did something to be sorry for her?"
Chen Ao let him go. Although the lieutenant rushed to Xixia this time, Zhou Heng was not among the selection. After all, the martial arts school still had to leave some backbones to help train the freshmen. Now when he suddenly saw this guy, Chen Ao's reaction was inevitable. He smiled and patted Zhou Heng, who was a little higher than him, and said, "My cousin has grown up, haha, he looks more and more like a man."
Zhou Heng smiled bitterly and said, "It's a pity that my cousin's beautiful wife is like clouds, but I can't even find a single wife."
Chen Ao said in surprise: "What? Lord Taishan didn't give you a marriage?"
Zhou Heng shook his head and said, "Dad said, start a career first and then start a family, and this matter will be delayed." Then he smiled and said, "It's better to delay some time, but in fact, I am different from my cousin." He raised his chin slightly, and said in a tone of arrogance, with a little contempt and arrogance: "I, Zhou Heng, are no longer the Zhou Heng we used to be."
Chen Ao felt his words a little harsh and couldn't help but say, "Did Ruoer say something to you?"
Zhou Heng spread his hands and said, "It's nothing, it's just that my cousin is too fickle and loves the other..."
Chen Ao said shamelessly: "To raise love, to raise love, actually, my cousin can do today, is Ruoer's cultivation of cultivation."
Chen Ao remembered what was in the letter just now, and couldn't help but frown and said, "When was the news of the Taiyuan earthquake? Has the court issued an order to provide relief to the disaster?"
Zhou Hengsurong said: "Your Majesty has already made an order, and asked my father to be the imperial envoy to provide relief to Taiyuan on behalf of heaven. My father has set off and asked me to inform my cousin again."
Chen Ao sighed and said, "So many people died, and there may be trouble. Xixia cannot stand by and watch. It is better to do this. I immediately allocated 500,000 guan to transport some herbs and grain nearby. Now I have become the regent of the Western Xia and a minister of the Song Dynasty. Xixia and the Song Dynasty are a family, and they are not distinguished from each other. Relief is the most important thing at the moment. Let's put aside other things for the time being."
Zhou Henghe nodded and said, "It would be great if this could be done."
Chen Ao continued, "It's not easy for you to come here, just stay in this palace. You are my brother-in-law and cousin, and it's irrelevant, but..." He said seriously, "After that, brothers are brothers, women in this palace cannot be watched randomly. Forget it, my cousin is too worried about you. It's better to ask two eunuchs to follow you day and night, so that you can't be mad and do anything."
Zhou Heng was stunned for a moment and said, "Cousin, I really changed!"
Chen Ao curled his lips and said, "Then I changed it too, do you believe it?"
Zhou Heng shook his head like a rattle: "Don't believe it."
