Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 1044 Prince of Liao Kingdom, Regent of the Supervisory Kingdom

Qingji stayed in Linzi for three days.

During this period, Qingji imprisoned Bao Xi, the prefect of Bohai County, and promoted Yan Hong to become the new prefect.

During Bao Xi's tenure, there were many officials and businessmen involved in the case because of corruption and perversion of the law, forming cliques for private interests.

In view of this, Qingji sent a letter back to Jinling, asking Prince Heng, Wen Zhong and others to select capable officials to take office in Bohai County as soon as possible, and immediately asked Yan Hong to rectify the administration of officials in the county. The government is clear and bright.

Yan Hong lived up to his high expectations. After collecting solid evidence, he arrested more than [-] officials and more than [-] merchants in Linzi city within one day.

However, there are far more people involved in the case, and Yan Hong has a long way to go.

All corrupt officials were either beheaded or sent to border countries.

Profits are treated the same way.

As for their property, it is to be confiscated.

After solving the bureaucratic problem in Bohai County, Qingji's patrol team went all the way north, took a section of the official road, changed to a large ship, and took the Grand Canal to reach the boundary of Ji County.

The North-South Grand Canal in Dawu starts from Qiantang River in the south, reaches Jixian County in the north, reaches Xianyang in the west, and borders the sea in the east, stretching for thousands of miles.

Like the official road extending in all directions, the Grand Canal facilitates the travel of Chinese people and is widely used in various aspects such as military affairs, commerce, and people's livelihood.

Now it is very convenient for Qingji to go on tour.

This time on the tour, Qingji not only toured the mainland of Great Wu, but also visited the kingdoms of the feudal vassals.

……

The capital of the Liao Kingdom, Gaoping.

At this time, as the eldest son of the Liao Kingdom, Wu Di, the eldest son of Wu Zhang, was welcoming the return of the triumphant master.

Wu Di is still a childish boy, but he has the power to oversee the country and regent.

However, a young child is destined to be unconvincing.

Two years ago, Liao King Wu Zhang was ordered to lead the army to the west, and he has not yet returned to his vassal kingdom, and is still stationed in the west, so Wu Di had no choice but to provoke Liang to supervise the country as regent.

Although the Liao Kingdom has been established for more than ten years, the country is still unstable.

Wu Zhang established the country with military force and built the Liao country into a military power, but he neglected governance, so that with his departure, people's hearts fluttered in the country.

Some Hu tribes under the rule of the Liao Kingdom sometimes broke out in rebellion from time to time, which annoyed Wu Di very much.

What's more terrible is that Hu people such as Donghu, Sushen, Huijie, and Yueshi often invaded the Liao Kingdom. Wu Di was difficult to stop before, because some generals were rebellious, and he could not command those tribes.

Under such circumstances, Ning Wang Wu Hong was ordered to lead his troops into the Liao Kingdom to help Wu Di suppress the domestic rebellion and repel the invasion of the Hu people one after another.

Wu Di was also very upbeat. Originally, his power was emptied, but through a series of iron and blood methods, he finally monopolized the power at a young age and established his own prestige.

However, Wu Di always had doubts about Wu Hong.

This time, Wu Hong led the armies of Liao and Ning to quell the Sushen Rebellion for the Liao Kingdom, opened up thousands of miles, and captured more than [-] men, women, children and men of Sushen, and returned in triumph.

This made Wu Hong's prestige in the Liao Kingdom unmatched.

Wu Di was very worried that Wu Hong would take the opportunity to usurp the Liao Kingdom.

At this time, Wu Di led all the civil and military personnel from the Liao Kingdom, and tens of thousands of Lishu from Gaoping City, and they were welcoming Wu Hong who had returned in triumph at the gate of the city.

"King Ning!"

"Sir."

"King Ning has worked very hard to open up the territory of Daliao for us. My nephew has already hosted a banquet in the palace. Please, King Ning, honor him."

"No need."

Wu Hong looked tired, but he still looked at Wu Di with a smile, and said, "I have been away to fight for more than half a year. Fortunately, I did not disgrace my mission, and finally put an end to the Sushen Rebellion for the Liao Kingdom. My son, you can ask the court and ask for help." Your grandpa has won."

Hearing this, Wu Di solemnly bowed to Wu Hong and said, "Prince Ning...no, uncle, please accept my nephew's respect!"

Seeing this, Wu Hong hurriedly helped Wu Di up, and then got into the same carriage with Wu Di.

For such Wu Hong, Wu Di's heart is actually very complicated.

When Wu Di was isolated and almost desperate, it was Wu Hong who led his troops into the Liao Kingdom to help him stabilize the situation, eradicate the rebellion, and wipe out those rebellious officials and thieves with ulterior motives.

It was also Wu Hong who helped him wipe out Sushen, Donghu, Yuezhi and other Hu people who invaded Liao.

Wu Hong, he treated Wu Di with great kindness.

But now Wu Di really felt Wu Hong's great threat to himself and the Liao Kingdom.

If Wu Hong wants to usurp the country and annex the Liao country, can Wu Di stop it?
Can't stop it!

Wu Hong seemed to have guessed what Wu Di was thinking, so he took out the tiger charm from his pocket and handed it to Wu Di.

"Uncle, what are you?"

"This is your military talisman of the Liao Kingdom. In the past two years, there have been constant internal and external troubles in Liao, and the widow has resolved them for you one by one. This military talisman should also be returned to its original owner."

Wu Hong said slowly: "My son, I know that there are many people in this country who speak ill of you around you and maliciously slander you."

"Of course, I have a clear conscience. The reason why I sent troops and went to Liao Kingdom is because of the order of His Majesty the First Emperor, that is, your imperial grandfather."

"For the Liao Kingdom, the widow has no covetous heart."

"Uncle..."

Wu Hong's frank words made Wu Di very ashamed for a moment, and he returned the tiger amulet and said, "Uncle, actually my nephew believes in you."

"My nephew is still young, and it's embarrassing to be in charge. I'd better ask you to be by my side to give advice, otherwise the Liao Kingdom will lose. How can I, Wu Di, explain to my father and king who are stationed in the west?"

"Uncle, how do you explain to the imperial grandfather?"

"This tiger talisman, uncle, you should take it first."

Wu Hong shook his head, put the tiger talisman into Wu Di's hand again, and said earnestly, "Your Majesty, you and I are uncles and nephews, so why be polite?"

"My son, you have established your own prestige in the court. As long as you don't make serious mistakes and maintain the normal operation of the Liao Kingdom, it is enough."

"The threat of the foreign barbarians and the domestic rebellion have been cleared up for you. The widow is the king of Ning. After all, he will go back after enfeoffing the country to Ning."

"The widow has written a letter to His Majesty, and you will supervise the country and regent yourself, and monopolize the power. The widow will return to Ningguo in a few days."

"The emperor is on a northern tour, maybe he will go to Pyongyang later, and the widow is going to pick him up."

"I……"

Wu Di was silent.

Is Wu Hong really not tempted at all?

You know, this tiger talisman in Wu Di's hand can mobilize one hundred thousand soldiers from the Liao Kingdom!

The soldiers of the Liao Kingdom can be compared with the Great Wu Frontier Army.

It can be called the teacher of tigers and wolves.

With such a strong army in hand, coupled with Wu Hong's original prestige, it is not impossible to merge the two countries of Ning and Liao, proclaim the emperor directly, and establish an empire that can stand up to Wu Hong.
