Jiangye: I am the immortal of this world

Chapter 260: Li Yang’s plan, King Zhao Kai of Shu, cuts off his retreat!

A long-lasting snowstorm froze to death more than half of the wheat in the north.

As the saying goes: "Auspicious snow heralds a good year," but blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, things must turn to the extreme, and it is not a good thing for a sudden wind and snow to last forever.

The New Year is about to pass, and under the spread of Zhao Gou, a rumor against Bei Ming has been quietly spreading and the layout has been completed.

Moreover, this rumor is not false, it is just exaggerated. As for how much it is exaggerated, only the polisher knows.

In short, people all over Liyang knew that Xu Xiao, the king of Beiming who destroyed the Six Kingdoms in the past, actually raised the Princess of Xichu in his mansion.

At the same time, the identity of the old man who jumped from the top of the city in Mingzhou and Lingzhou was also known to everyone.

The younger generation today may not know who the head of the Great Chu Chongwen Academy is.

But for those officials of the old Western Chu who were still active in Liyang Court, it was difficult to conceal the sadness in their hearts.

The motherland was destroyed, and Master Wenmai died tragically in Mingzhou. The truth is not difficult to guess.

It's just that Jiang Shuilang discovered that Princess Dachu was imprisoned in the Beimu Palace. He went to rescue her alone, but was murdered by Beimu.

Fortunately, Cao Changqing took action and rescued Her Royal Highness the Princess from the Beimu Palace.

In the world, the view of Prince Bei Ming's Mansion is becoming more and more unbearable. He adopts the orphan girl of an enemy general and makes him a dead soldier!

He also imprisoned the old Chu princess, and Xu Xiao's disobedience was clearly exposed.

Tai'an City, the Imperial City, within the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

As the first imperial meeting after the New Year's Day, all Beijing officials of fifth rank and above in Tai'an City had to enter the imperial city two hours in advance.

And they are not allowed to ask for leave. Those officials who are close to the imperial city are fine, but at worst they have to get up early.

But those officials who lived far away had to set off towards the imperial city at the end of the day.

On the central axis of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, on the dragon chair that is extremely carved and symbolizes the supreme power in the world, Liyang Emperor Zhao Dun glanced at the ministers in the palace and said: "Dear ministers, I have been to the north recently. There is heavy snow and the grain harvest is likely to be cut off. Please allocate 170 million dan of grain."

"My ministers, please discuss this matter and see if you can allocate some grain to the people of Beimuo!"

The emperor's words scared the people of Beiliang to death.

Under the whole world, there is no king's land; on the coast of leading the soil, is there no king's ministers.

But this sentence about the people of Beimu undoubtedly brought up Beimu's previous transgressions again.

The emperor's words, "People of Beimu," are undoubtedly heart-wrenching words.

Wang Xionggui, the Minister of Hubu, walked out of his shift and said: "Your Majesty, there are still 230 shi of relief grain in Changpingcang of Hubu, and there are still 530 taels of military rations in Fenwucang of Hubu. stone."

"But in the heavy snowfall at the end of the year, the people of Liyang also suffered heavy losses. Guangling Road and Jiangnan Road also asked for disaster relief food. The border armies of the two Liao Dynasties also need 15 shi of military food every month."

"Today's summer grain will take several months. The Ministry of Revenue can only provide 30 shi of grain."

The situation in the court is unpredictable. It is true that the household department has food, but the food from the household department is used to provide relief to the people of Liyang.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that their Majesty is planning to take action against Bei Ming.

Perhaps the emperor would turn a blind eye to the breach of etiquette, but the adoption of the Princess of Xichu was a real breach of contract. Moreover, a member of the Wenmai clan who had disappeared without a trace in the early years also died in Beimu.

If he dared to say that the Ministry of Revenue had food to supply Bei Ming, then he would be the one whose house was confiscated.

"Wang Shangshu, whether it is Changping Cang, Yong'an Cang or Fenwu Cang, there is a certain amount of grain!"

"They are the people of Liyang, the food and clothing of the border armies of the two Liao Dynasties!"

"Since you have a budget, you can't change it easily, otherwise it will be a waste of food. So what should you eat when the food is gone?"

"Kuai, Beimu Prince's Mansion has seven interiors and four exteriors. It is not inferior to the imperial city in any way. The prince of Beimu visits brothels and spends a lot of money."

"Where did the food and salary allocated by the imperial court to Bei Ming go? A thorough investigation is needed."

"Your Majesty, I think that not even a stone of food and grass can enter Bei Ming!"

Jin Lanting, who was at the end of the civilian class train, walked out of the class train and said energetically.

Cutting down peach trees, killing geese, and having long conversations with his wife and concubine!

It doesn't matter whether anything happened between Prince Beimu and his wife or his concubine.

Because in the eyes of others, there is an inexplicable relationship between Prince Beimu and his wife and concubine.

As a prince, he intimidates his subordinates and invites his wife to make amends. Is this considered a kindness?
Jin Lanting's words caused an uproar in the entire Hall of Supreme Harmony. Those officials who hated the Bei Ming Palace did not expect that such a humble official could be so stubborn.

Don't you know that Xu Xiao, the king of Beiyu, is on his way to Beijing?
The officials of the old Chu were already dissatisfied with Xu Xiao. After hearing that Jiang Shuilang was being persecuted by Bei Ming and that the Princess of Da Chu was working as a slave in Bei Ming's palace, they did not add insult to injury in this calamity year. Not bad.

"I also believe that the imperial court's grain should not go into Beimu. The palace of Beimu is as rich as the country. Millions of stones of grain and grass have gone into Beimu. How many disaster victims can get the court's relief food?"

"How much food and grass will be lost to Bei Ming's generals?"

"The Ministry of Punishment has a history of accusing many of Bei Ming's generals and disciples of being scheming and doing evil things."

"For the sake of the people of the world, I think we should send disaster relief envoys to personally escort the grain and grass to the disaster relief!"

"20 stones is enough!"

The imperial censor looked at the officials who were interested in Beiliang and said with an unkind expression.

The people of Beimu are human beings, but aren’t the people of Liyang not human beings?
Now is the year of famine. In Beimu, a poor place, there is the extremely wealthy Beimu Prince's Palace.

Moreover, even if disaster relief food is allocated, the people in the three states of Beimu will not be grateful to the imperial court. They will only be grateful to the Prince's Palace of Beimu.

Asking the imperial court to use its own food to win people's hearts for Bei Ming, is there such a good thing in the world?

"I also believe that not even a stone of food and grass should enter Bei Ming, otherwise the people of Liyang will poke our spines!"

"I think that Bei Ming is arrogant and cruel. If the adults who go to relieve the disaster are killed by Bei Ming, wouldn't it mean that the imperial court loses their humerus? I think that if I give in, Bei Ming can buy the grain from the people with his own money!"

For a time, in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the officials of the imperial court were chasing Beimu fiercely, and they would not stop until the Prince's Palace of Beimu was overthrown today.

Seeing that the ministers were arguing endlessly, Shangshu ordered Zhang Julu to say: "Your Majesty, I think that the people of Beimu are also the people of Liyang. We should allocate some food for disaster relief. Otherwise, Beimang will not be stable, and Beimang will definitely be ready to move."

"With the 30 stone grain, we can first go to Changpingcang and enter Beimu to appease the people of Beimu."

As the chief minister of the dynasty, he knew very well that Bei Ming could never fall, at least not now.

But we cannot let Bei Ming grow bigger. Once Bei Ming grows big, it will be a disaster for the entire world.

It is true that Prince Beiming's actions have gone too far. As for the incident at Jinlan Pavilion, he has also heard about it.He acts shamelessly and unscrupulously, bullies his subordinates' wives and concubines, and even saying that he has done no evil is considered a compliment.

In the eyes of Xu Xiao and Xu Fengnian, the people of Beiming were nothing more than chess pieces, used in exchange for hereditary and irreplaceable chess pieces.

On the dragon chair, Emperor Zhao Dun spoke up and said: "Qin Tianjian predicts that this year will be a year of famine. The people of Beimu are common people. Could it be that the people of Liyang are not common people?"

"30 stone is too much, 20 stone is enough!"

Giving food and grass to Bei Ming is undoubtedly like a meat bun beating a dog. Once you go, you will never come back!

The three states of Beizhou would only be grateful to Xu Laizi, but they would not think about where the food and grass provided by Xu Laizi for disaster relief came from.

After Zhang Julu heard this, he didn't say anything and just silently returned to the train.

And Han Diao Temple, which stood beside Emperor Zhao Dun, also took out the edict that had been drafted long ago.

Emperor Zhao Dun said: "I still have a son who is wandering around. Now I will split the earth and divide him, and canonize him as a prince to bring peace to the world!"

"Han Diao Si, read it!"

Han Diao Temple opened the imperial edict and read: "Under the sect, the edict says!"

"Prince Zhao Kai, accepted by Qingshe! I inherited the ancestral Kao, Weiji established the country of Er in ancient times, granted it to Shu, and was the king of Shu. He was Liyang Huifu for the rest of his life. He was also the commander-in-chief of the march in Jiannan Road, and the commander-in-chief of the military in Shu. Everything in Shu and the Western Regions."

"Allow him to recruit [-] troops to protect the peace of Shu!"

"Kin this!"

An imperial edict, no more than a few words long, changed the entire world.

The prince Zhao Kai first entered the Liangchan Temple, and now he was granted the title of King of Shu. The situation in the Beimu Palace became increasingly serious.

Some Liyang officials, whose hearts were drawn to Beiliang and who had collected the yellow and white things from Prince Beimu's palace, also felt that things were getting tricky at this moment.

No one who can become an official in the imperial court is a fool. Zhao Kai was named King of Shu.

It was the King of Shu who was leading the army again. This was undoubtedly a direct kick in the butt of the Bei Ming Palace.

But if Xu Xiao brazenly intercepts and kills him, and the court canonize him as the new king of Shu, then the court may directly attack Bei Ming regardless of the thought of disaster.

The prince Zhao Kai, who was at the end of the military attache list, also walked out of his shift, knelt down in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and said: "My son, take the order!"

He was granted the title of king, and he thought that it would take a lot of trouble to achieve the position of king of vassals.

Unexpectedly, the current situation was unpredictable, and King Bei Ming would actually overstep his bounds to such an extent.

However, the banished immortal is too mysterious and unpredictable. He dare not mention Xu Weixiong's name now, for fear that the banished immortal will chop him down with a sword.

He missed his mother, and I'm afraid it would be difficult to come back to Tai'an City without the emperor's edict.

Emperor Zhao Dun looked at his illegitimate son and said: "We are going to Western Shu. The mountains are high and the roads are dangerous. The imperial court has arranged for you to have seven thousand cavalry to accompany you."

"When you arrive in Shu, don't be like Bei Ming and treat the people of Shu kindly!"

It can be said that from the moment we learned that the Beichun Palace hid the Princess of Western Chu, the head of the Chongwen Academy of the old Chu, and died in Beichulingzhou City.

Li Yang broke up with Bei Ming, but there are still some superficial differences.

Zhao Kai spoke eloquently: "My sons, I will obey your father's teachings!"

When all the officials saw this scene, they were deeply aware of the changes in the current situation. It was still rumored a few days ago that His Majesty was going to canonize Chen Zhibao as the King of Shu. Unexpectedly, he actually canonized the illegitimate son Zhao Kai as the King of Shu.

Now General Gu has the two border counties of Liao, the navy of King Jingan Zhao Heng, and the Shu army of King Zhao Kai of Shu.

It can be said that the Beimu Palace was basically surrounded by the imperial court. Once Beimu moved, the imperial court could calmly deploy troops to encircle and suppress Beimu.

Bei Ming's good days are finally coming to an end. There are too many people in the court who want Bei Ming dead.

And those officials who want to speak for Beimu have to take into account their own families. They are not the old brothers of King Beimu.

Jin Lanting walked out of the train again and said: "Your Majesty, please send someone to rebuke Xu Fengnian, the eldest son of Prince Beiming."

"It can be said that the generals and sects of Beimu are full of bad deeds, and the people of Beimu's three states have suffered greatly."

"Bei Mingdu protects Chu Lushan. He also sings and sings day and night, and robs women of the people. He does not take the court's laws into consideration at all."

"The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people when he breaks the law, let alone the Protector of Bei Ming?"

"The people in the three states of Beimu have been suffering from Beimu for a long time. I am willing to ask for orders to thoroughly investigate the case of embezzlement of grain and salary in Beimu. I am willing to redress the grievances of the people in the three states of Beimu!"

"Fuck, Your Majesty, Holy Judge!"

Are the people in the three states of Beizhou feeling grievances?Of course there is injustice!

In other words, there are too many grievances in the world to be counted, but grievances are different from injustices.

Even if he dies, Xu Fengnian must be made a prisoner!

Emperor Zhao Dun also looked at the stubborn Jin Lanting and said: "Oh, since you are willing to investigate the matter thoroughly, I will give you the title of imperial censor, lead five hundred horses into Beimu, and conduct a thorough investigation of the generals of Beimu." Greedy."

"Send, escort from Longhu Mountain!"

This Jin Lanting is a wonderful man. This time, Xu Laizi can be said to have misjudged the wrong person. After all, Fan Fan is a brave husband.

I can't stand it. The wives and concubines have long conversations with others. It's all the fault of Prince Beimu's palace. It's their own fault!
It is simply a delusion for the dandy children with such bad morals and the prevalence of indolence to think of hereditary neglect!

It's just that now, the imperial court still needs Beimu, and he can be replaced hereditary, but he must be inherited at a reduced level until he is the Marquis of Beimu.

Jin Lanting also knelt down in the Hall of Supreme Harmony to accept the order and thank him. He didn't care what kind of disaster he would encounter when he returned to Beiming.

The reason he went to Beiming was to plead for the people. Could it be that to plead for the people, would Xu Xiao and Xu Fengnian still want to kill themselves?

This ended a court meeting that made many officials frightened.

It's just that the residual power brought by this court meeting has a profound impact on the entire human world.

The imperial court picked a good time, and now Xu Xiao, the king of Beiming, was on his way to Beijing.

The person who temporarily takes over the power of Bei Ming's army is Chen Zhibao, and there are many people in Bei Ming's army who are dissatisfied with Chen Zhibao.

By the time Xu Xiao learned about this, the dust had already settled, and the most dangerous time was approaching for the Bei Ming Palace.
