Xian Dynasty Era

Chapter 376 Heavy Resistance
Diqiu Hotel
On the second floor, in a simple and elegant wing room, candles were silently burning. In front of the window, there was a person standing with his hands behind his back, with a silent face and a heavy demeanor, looking at the lights outside the window.

At night, Diqiu City was brightly lit and still noisy. This big city governing millions of people seemed to be unaffected by the cloud of war hanging over the Wei Kingdom.

The sounds of singing, dancing and orchestra are endless.

At this time, it was the third day that the two countries of Su and Wei had stopped fighting to make peace.

"I have seen your lord." Su Xian bowed deeply, and said to the tall and straight boy with a calm demeanor.

"Su Qing, please stand up." Su Zhao turned his head, looked at the old man opposite him with a smile on his face, and said approvingly: "Su Qing was at the court of the Wei Kingdom the day before yesterday, and fought hard according to reason, so as not to fall into the prestige of our country. What a relief."

To be honest, he didn't even intend to scare the monarchs and ministers of the State of Wei by saying that he would unite with the State of Jin and jointly take the land of the State of Wei.

"Your Majesty is absurd. From the perspective of the situation, it is the best choice for the Wei State to strike the army. This minister's visit to Diqiu can be considered to be in line with the intention of the Wei State Monarch and Minister. It has nothing to do with the overall success or failure of the peace talks." Su Xian's face showed no complacency at all, and he did not see the aggression at the court of Wei Guo the day before yesterday.

Su Zhao smiled slightly, and looked at the gentle elder Zong calmly, with a little more appreciation in the depths of his eyes.

Can't help secretly, the spring breeze turns into rain, and the needles are hidden in the cotton.

Among his ministers, there are those who are upright and upright like Chen Shao, those who are cruel and harsh like Chang Miao, and those who are flattering like Fan Yanxu, and there are also such capable ministers who can stand on their own.

Su Zhao said: "After that, I need to trouble Su Qing to preside over the wedding ceremony here."

Because Su Xian is Zongzheng and is also the envoy to welcome the relatives this time, when Wei Jing gets married, Su Xian still needs to welcome Wei Jing back to the country of Su.

Su Xian bowed and said: "It's my duty, I dare not talk about hard work."

"Your Majesty, after all, Diqiu is the capital of the enemy's country, so your Majesty should take the country as your concern." Su Xian pondered for a while, and finally persuaded him: "Before I came, Chen Sikou and Fan Sikong were asking you what to do?" When is it time to leave for the palace?"

As the country of Su is flourishing, no matter if it is the clan, nobles, or ministers of civil and military affairs, they are full of infinite expectations for the future of the country of Su.

In fact, Su Zhao was able to formally accept Wei Jun's sister as a concubine. In the eyes of Su Guogong, this was a happy event that established the country early and stabilized people's hearts.

Well, in this day and age, no matter what Su Zhao is, he is only sixteen years old.

Even at this moment in Su State, a wave of public opinion has begun to brew, mainly county magistrates, nobles and ministers are starting to build momentum, that is, Su Jun is at the age of Chunhua, and he will be selected as a beautiful girl to enrich the harem.

And Wei Jun's sister's entry into the Soviet Union is bound to arouse Su Guogong's imagination about the position of "Madam".

The excuses are all ready-made, if Wei Jun's sister gave birth to the eldest son, how can she be the reserve?

Su Zhao smiled, and said: "It's okay, Gu is not someone who has no strength to restrain a chicken, and he is not greedy for the defense of the country. Su Qing should know that Xianzong Xuanxiu is beneficial to the national power."

Su Xian nodded, and did not continue to persuade.

After pondering for a moment, he changed his face and calmed down, and said in a concentrated voice: "Your Majesty, Xu Zhaoyi personally copied the secret documents of Duke Yan in Dang County, and presented them to Your Majesty for review."

Saying that, he took out a yellow-brown cover notebook from his sleeve.

Surprised expression appeared on Su Zhao's face, he stretched out his hand to take the playbook, and after reading it, his complexion darkened unconsciously.

"How dare you!"

In the memorial table, it is reported that since mid-September, Yan Chang went to Dang County, summoned county officials, assigned tasks, cleared up the farmland, compiled household registration, and implemented innovative policies.

In the early days, the tyrants of Dangjun County and the subordinate officials of Goutong County, the head of Liting, were perfunctory in the local area.

When Yan Chang was furious, he used the officials from the counties transferred from Shanyang to be in charge, and the imperial army to distribute the retinues. This undoubtedly made Wang Xianhao of Dangjun County more resistant and rebellious.

Unexpectedly gathered unruly people to attack the palace of the imperial envoy, provoking troubles and provoking troubles. If it hadn't been for the accompanying imperial army, Si Qukai acted resolutely and resolutely suppressed it, which almost led to a civil uprising.

Even just a few days ago, Hao Qiang colluded with bandits and tried to kidnap Yan Chang's granddaughter—Yan Rou. Fortunately, he was investigating for the officials of the Tianting Division, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Of course, this may also be the temptation of those prefects and tyrants.

But after this incident, Yan Chang was frightened into a cold sweat, somewhat depressed, and while reporting to the Su Guozhong, and again dispatching manpower, he also asked Su Zhao.

"The people of Dang County are tough, and they are far away from Wendu. The county is powerful. It is not surprising that there is such a reaction."

Su Zhao frowned and sighed.

Su Xian pondered for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, Duke Yan's innovation strategy, enriching the country and strengthening the army, benefiting the country, has a lot of resistance in Dang County, and you still need to take action on this matter."

Su Zhao nodded, and said: "When the peace talks are settled, I will go to Dang County alone."

In fact, he didn't find it surprising that Yan Chang's strategy in Dang County was blocked.

No matter whether Yan Chang is in Qi State or Chu State, the starting point is very high from the beginning, and he goes straight to the center without going to the local area. Although many political policies are strategically planned, he is still a little uncomfortable when he really has to face the intricate counties and places. of.

The prestige of these local counties is powerful, in order to keep their extravagant life, there must be all kinds of open and dark methods, and there are endless methods. Yan Chang lacks experience in local struggle, so he is naturally tired of coping.

And at the time when the monarch and ministers of the Su Kingdom were discussing the follow-up matters of the Soviet and Wei countries' peace talks.

At this moment, in the posthouse——

Guo Hong, Grand Minister of the State of Lu, was sitting opposite Prince Huan of the State of Qi, and Sima Xu, the general of the State of Lu, accompanied him.

Young Master Huan Zheng was sitting in front of his chest. Although this man was short in stature and ugly in face, under his short eyebrows, his eyes were sharp, and he said calmly, "Mr. Guo, what do you want me to do?"

Guo Hong sized up the wretched young master Huan on the opposite side, twisted his beard under his chin, smiled and said, "Mr. Wei promised his sister to the state of Su, is Mr. Huan willing?"

Gong Zihuan pretended to be surprised and said: "Mr. Guo's words are strange. What does it have to do with me when Mr. Wei marries his sister?"

My heart was slightly displeased.

The young man not far behind, Liang Jie snorted coldly, looking at Guo Hong with a murderous look.

Guo Hong glanced at Liang Jie, with a smile on his face, looked at Young Master Huan, and said, "I just heard someone say that Young Master Huan also has a crush on Wei Jun's sister."

"This son's nonsense, I intend to marry Wei Jun, and Wei Jun has promised the day before yesterday that his cousin will stay in his boudoir. She doesn't think I am ugly, and I am willing to match her." As well as his own appearance, he also dealt with it calmly, without any surlyness or taboo.

Guo Hong took another look at him and thought to himself, this person is really a character.

"Then congratulations to Mr. Huan." Guo Hong said with a smile.

Young Master Huan nodded, and then said: "Guo Gong, I just got a piece of news that the Jin State is attacking the guards in the north and the northern border counties, and Du Ling can't last long."

"The old man also got a piece of news." Guo Hong smiled slightly and said, "Qian Wei Jun Wei Pan has arrived in Long Shuo, and he issued his order to call on the county magistrates of the Wei State to attack rebellious officials!"

Young Master Huan changed his color and said in shock: "Mr. Qianwei went to Longshuo?"

"This matter will soon be reported to Emperor Qiu, but I don't know if Mr. Wei will block the news, haha." Guo Hong smiled, and the old eyes sparkled with inexplicable meaning.

Since Mr. Xiaowei is not allowed to cede the land, let's do this business with Mr. Qianwei.

It's just that it might not sound good if this matter gets out, so Lu Jun should not know about it.

At this moment, Gong Zihuan was also thinking about the pros and cons, and which side he should stand on, but after a while, he made up his mind, saying: "The northern border counties are gaining momentum, and it is urgent to send troops."

Guo Hong frowned, and said, "Mr. Huan, do you really want to continue to stand by Jun Xiaowei?"

Young Master Huan smiled, because of his ugly and wretched face, he looked terrible, but his voice was as clear as gold and stone, "The avant-garde king colluded with Jin to enter the game, and we, Qi and Lu, led the troops to help the guards, in order to prevent Jin from getting involved in Zhongzhou. Tongda, don’t forget this trick! On the contrary, if you are blinded by petty gains for a while, so that you lose big because of small losses, and Jin becomes powerful. At that time, Lord Lu doesn’t like it, and political opponents criticize me. Nah."

Guo Hong was silent for a while, he had to say that he was terrified by what Gongzi Huan said, but he couldn't see the slightest thing on his face.
