The rise of the prince

Chapter 703 Reduction Policy
Wei Chaoren took his son and hurried down the city wall, and in the main hall of the government office, he saw the officials of the Guanbei House of the Privy Council who delivered the letter.

He has been appointed as the magistrate of Yanshan Prefecture by the imperial court, and he is also in charge of the military of Yanshan Prefecture. At this time, the government office of Yanshan Prefecture is also his office.

He also knew the person who came, and it was Shi Guanbei, the head of the Privy Council, and he was also an old friend. He had been in Guanbei for so many years, and it was logical that the two met.

"What's the news this time?" Wei Chaoren came in, sat down politely, and Wei Xingping also sat down by himself.

Chang Shi smiled and said: "Good news, news from the Privy Council wants to call you to Beijing, but I'm afraid that you will leave, and there will be no one to guard Yanshan Mansion, so the Privy Council ordered your son to bring a battalion of troops as guards to protect you. You go to Beijing to face the saint."

When Wei Xingping heard the news, he jumped up excitedly: "Uncle, it's true!"

"Hahaha, of course, I will still be wrong."

Wei Chaoren saw that his son was so happy, but he was mixed with happiness and worry. He grinned and said nothing, "After General Zhong was relegated, hasn't there been a vacancy for the secret envoy of the court?"

"Oh, that's right, you don't know yet, the Privy Envoy has been appointed by Prince Jin." Chang Shi said: "We also received the document of change notification two days ago. The emperor first ordered that King Jin be the Empress Dowager." Sun, now let him serve as a privy envoy, in charge of military affairs, I am afraid that the holy will has been decided!"

Wei Xingping opened his mouth wide: "The king of Jin is going to be the emperor!"

"You!" Wei Chaoren immediately glared at his son, "What are you talking about!"

Seeing that his son quickly covered his mouth, he didn't bother to pursue it. His son didn't hide his words.

"Hahaha." Chang Shi laughed loudly, and then said in a low voice: "Although not, but it will be in the future. This is already a certainty, and you all have to be prepared in your heart."

Wei Chaoren nodded. He expected it this day, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.

"Speaking of which, I really envy you. You have a daughter who is by King Jin's side. In the future, she will surely ascend to heaven alone. I would like to congratulate you here! Please support me in the future." Chang Shi smiled and cupped his hands.

"Where are you talking?" Wei Chaoren said with a smile, and he understood why Chang Shi came in person this time.

"I've finished speaking, and the old man will stay soon, so I'm leaving."

"Master Changshi stay and have dinner before leaving." Wei Chaoren hastily persuaded him to stay
"No, I still have official duties, so it's not suitable to stay for a long time, so I'm leaving." He said farewell with cupped hands.

Wei Chaoren got up, walked him to the door with his son, then boarded the carriage, and walked away slowly.

As soon as the people left, Wei Chaoren caught a glimpse of his son who was about to jump up in excitement, and stomped his feet excitedly.

"Alas" Wei Chaoren sighed.

"Father, this is a great thing, why are you sighing?"

Seeing his son's puzzled question, he said in a low voice, "Go in and talk." Then he turned and walked inside, crossed the courtyard, and sat down in the main hall.

"Father, what's the matter with you? Don't worry about me, I've been to the capital a long time ago." Wei Xingping said excitedly, and sat down as well.

Seeing his son's appearance, Wei Chaoren couldn't help sighing, "If you have half the brains of your sister, I'm relieved!" Seeing his son scratching his head in confusion, he shook his head and said, "You just think that letting you come to Beijing is a favor? "

"Is not it?"

Wei Chaoren shook his head: "Have you never thought about other possibilities?"

Wei Xingping shook his head again.

"You..." Wei Chaoren waved his hand helplessly: "Forget it, let me tell you straight. Now I am in charge of Zhending Mansion, Yanshan Mansion, Lingguan North Jiedushi, Yanshan Mansion Prefect and other important positions, throughout the north, from the east of Taihang Mountain to the The sea is under the jurisdiction of this old man, I am afraid that the imperial court is not at ease, so letting you come to Beijing is not only a favor, but also may be that the imperial court wants to use you as a hostage, so that this old man dare not have second thoughts!"

"Father, do you have second thoughts?" Wei Xingping asked.

"You rebellious son, of course not!" Wei Chaoren blushed with anger, "I'm afraid you don't know why you came to Beijing and cause trouble!"

"But it was Jin Wang who gave the order. Jin Wang and his sister have such a good relationship, and they saved your life, so it's not possible."

Seeing that his son still didn't believe him, Wei Chaoren knocked on the table next to him: "It's not the best of nature, but what the old man said is if it is true! King Jin was only the eldest son at the beginning, but now he is the prince, and in the future he will be the grandson of the emperor, the emperor, so naturally There are means and strategies.

What the old man said is that if it is true, if it is true, you must understand your identity, and you must not cause trouble in the capital, you know! "

"understood"

"Also, when you arrive in the capital, you should keep a low profile. There are many rich and powerful children in the capital, unlike in the border." Wei Chaoren ordered one after another, but he was actually worried.

Just like what he said, the current King Jin is no longer the unknown son of the past. He is in control of the military and political power, and he is also the crown prince. He is also afraid that his unlucky and careless son will continue to be the same as before and cause trouble.

This is a good thing, a happy event, even if the son is allowed to live in the capital, it shows that the emperor has put down his mind and handed over the land of the two prefectures to him, but he is worried about his son.

In the end, he had no choice but to choose five hundred capable and smart people from the camp to accompany him to the south.

All the ministries of the grassland must hand in money to the Kingdom of Jin every year in exchange for peace.

The reason for this is that a few years ago, the coalition forces of the Eastern Ministries were defeated by the Kingdom of Jin, and the former suzerain country was wiped out by the Kingdom of Jin. In the Jin Kingdom, the grassland tribes dared not resist even more.

So every year, I go to Shangjing to pay money to keep my tribe safe. Facing the powerful and unified Jin Kingdom, the scattered Mongolian tribes are powerless to resist.

At the same time, in the past few years, the Jin people have also implemented a terrifying policy of reducing the number of tribes on the grasslands. It is probably because the high-level officials of the Jin country have vaguely sensed the threat from the north. (For the purpose of arranging the protagonists, things are squeezed together, these things should be separated by several generations)

The so-called reduction policy is that the Jin army in the neighboring areas of the prairie mopped up the tribes of the prairie in the name of suppressing bandits, killing any men they saw, and snatching women back as slaves. This policy was implemented out of the will of the Jin people. Desire and greed, but also out of fear of grassland people.

The Jin people must have seen that many tribal men on the prairie were warriors who were skilled at bowing horses since childhood. The difficult living conditions made them brave and fearless, and they were very fierce and good at fighting.

Fortunately, they are in a state of disunity and cannot become a climate, and cannot pose a threat to Dajin, but if there are too many people, the Jin people will be very disturbed, so there is such a cruel policy.

It's just that they don't know that the so-called blocking is worse than sparse, only violence will never solve the problem. They can suppress the Mongols for a while, but they can't suppress them for a lifetime. The hatred of the Jin Kingdom brought about by this kind of blood also accelerates the unification of the Mongolian tribes .

And once the grassland is no longer a plate of loose sand, it will become unstoppable!
Liu Xu walked into the big tent, and the tent was filled with a mixed smell of cattle, sheep and human body, which made him feel a little uncomfortable, but he quickly covered it up.

He understood why. Many Mongolians believed in eternal life, so they could not wash their clothes in the river or urinate on the fire.

In front of him was a very lucky middle-aged man, much younger than Jin Zhuang.

"You are Borjijin Temujin." He asked.
