After rebirth, I tortured the scum and strived to become the empress

Chapter 123 The Situation of the Xiao Family
In fact, in the long run, a rebel leader like Zhang Yuancheng, who knows how to absorb aristocratic families and cares about the power of the people, will be more harmful to the Wei Dynasty because he has the ambition and potential to separate one side.

But what about Shen Qingjun's decision to deal with Liu Jinguang first?Because Liu Jinguang did too much damage to local areas and civilians, wherever his army of locusts walked, corpses littered the fields, and humans and animals were cut off!Not a blade of grass grows!

Although Liu Jinguang was born as a commoner, he regarded the common people as pigs and dogs. During his travels, he constantly attacked and destroyed surrounding towns and villages to expand his ranks...

What this person did was too harmful to the local area. In addition, he had more rebels and a greater momentum. Killing him would deter other people with different aspirations. Shen Qingjun should deal with him first.

And now that Great Wei's national strength is booming, he has no chance of gaining momentum at all!
It has been more than ten years since the Wei Dynasty occupied the north, and it has been almost two years since it unified the north and the south. However, Zhang Yuancheng still plans to follow the previous path of splitting the country. Although Wencheng County where he is entrenched has a favorable geographical location, this path is still not feasible.

After Shen Qingjun introduced the specific situation of the two rebel leaders to Gao Lingying and let the officers in the account know the general military situation, he began to issue military orders and tasks. The pre-military meeting was not considered over until everyone accepted the tasks.

……

Back outside Yanguan, Yelvbulo, the Xian King of Zuo, entered the Chinese army's tent.

"Your Majesty, do you think the Emperor of Wei will let us enter the Pass?"

"Of course, I came with a hundred thousand tribal troops, and I didn't want to fight them. I just wanted to marry a princess and order some food.

As long as the Emperor of Wei has any brains, he will not refuse. "Yelübulo Jin said with all his heart, he wanted to give confidence to the people under his command.

But when everyone retreated, Yelu Buluo walked in and out of the big tent, looking at the majestic Huiyan Pass in the distance, but his face showed a worried look.

Why did he bring out all his tribesmen?Because his tribal territory was the hardest hit!

As the son of Donghu Da Khan, his tribal territory is very good, with flat terrain, fertile water and grass, and no tall mountains in the territory.

But because of this, when the cold north wind blew this time, everyone was affected!
This disaster has done a lot of damage to his power. Once he is weakened to a certain extent, his younger brothers will not be soft on him.
That's why he came up with the idea of ​​marrying the princess of Wei, just to seek help from Wei.

Because although he is the eldest son of Donghu Great Khan, he is also now Donghu Zuoxian King. He seems to be the next generation successor of Donghu Khan?

But according to the rules of the grassland, there is no such thing as a father's death and his son's succession, so naturally there is no such thing as an heir.

Who has the biggest fist, whose tribe is strong, and who can grasp the greatest power the fastest when the old Khan dies...

Who is the next generation of Khan!
His father became the Great Khan of Donghu not because he inherited it, but because he snatched it away and fought it with his sword and arrow.

The power transition in the grassland has always been bloody and cruel. In order to inherit the Donghu tribe, his father not only killed his father, but also killed his three brothers and two uncles!
There is no family affection or order in the grassland, only strength!
And now, his good brother, Yelu Hu Shuji, the Right Xian King of Donghu, is eyeing his position as Zuoxian King.
Not only that, but his other younger brother, who doesn’t want to learn to pay tribute to his ancestors?

That's why he had the idea of ​​​​marrying with Wei after the tribe suffered a disaster, and his father, the Great Khan of Donghu, also supported him.

The Great Khan of Donghu had nothing wrong with his son seeking help from Wei, nor did he think it was a sign of cowardice.

Because the totem of the Donghu tribe is the wolf. In addition to being ferocious, the wolf is also cunning. It can surrender to the strong when it is weak, and it will also show its claws when its claws are sharp.
He is forbearing when he is weak and proud when he is strong. He believes that only such a son has the potential of a wolf king... Moreover, the Wei Dynasty is still a country that can compete with Donghu. Even after unifying the south, the territory of Wei Dynasty exceeded Donghu's, and its population was even larger. Needless to say, it is more than fifty times that of Donghu...

Jade City, Qinghefang

"Brother Qiao, the boss arranged for us to teach this family a profound lesson, what shall we do!"

This was a team under Shen Yan. That night, Shen Qingjun ordered Shen Yan to add some trouble to Xiao Han and the others, and Shen Yan sent three people.Because other people want to follow Shen Qingjun to the north to put down the rebellion!
"This is the Imperial City. Killing and beating people are definitely not allowed. Swearing. I think this family is very shameless. It's useless to be afraid of being scolded!"

"I don't care. The eldest lady personally ordered to cause trouble for them, and Commander Shen personally gave the instructions. No matter how difficult it is, you have to do it for me."

"Boss, I have an idea..."

"San'er, I know you are a ghost, tell me quickly..."

The Xiao family's servant room, Ruan Qingqing was raising a baby, orange peels, hawthorns and other things were piled up on the table in front of her...

The house she lives in is also the best one in the house, because she is pregnant with Xiao Han's first and only child, so even at this point, her life is still good.

Neither Xiao Han nor Xiao's mother had ever shown humiliation in front of her!

Outside, Shuhua was washing clothes for her and Xiao's mother, Shuqi was cooking in the kitchen, and the dog-legged housekeeper Ruan Degui was chopping firewood and carrying water...

Why are Shuqi, calligraphy and painting, and Ruan Degui still in the Xiao family?Why weren't they sold like the other maids and servants in Xiao Mansion?
Ruan Qingqing had all the contracts of selling their lives for these three people, and according to the laws of Wei, a husband would only offend his wife and children if he committed a crime, not his concubine.
Of course, under normal circumstances, concubines are usually sold out like slaves after their master breaks the law, and it doesn't matter whether they are guilty or not...

However, these three people plus Cheng Jingzhong were able to stay thanks to Zhang Zhen, the Minister of Rites.

The eunuchs from the Ministry of Internal Affairs are completely merciless in "ransacking homes". They don't care who holds the deed of sale, as long as they are slaves of the Xiao Mansion, they will sell them!Even Ruan Qingqing was almost taken away and sold.

Zhang Zhen couldn't stand it anymore and said something to let Ruan Qingqing and the four of them stay.

In fact, Zhang Zhen did not sympathize with Xiao Han. He had nothing to sympathize with the unlucky Zhangling county son. After all, from his point of view, Xiao Han had this end, or it could be said that he had brought it all on himself.
Besides, Xiao Han is unlucky, right?He is indeed unlucky!He asked for it, right?He did ask for it!Zhang Zhen didn't know whether to sympathize with him or despise him.

In addition, keeping these four people was just a matter of his words, and there were also some rules in the officialdom.
For example, as long as an official commits a crime, as long as he is not involved in treason and is a member of the officialdom, he must keep a tightrope when doing things!
This rule of keeping a line is not for others, but for yourself!

After all, in the ups and downs of the officialdom, who can guarantee that he will never make mistakes in his life? At that time, he can only hope that his former colleagues will be merciful!

That's why he turned a blind eye, and since the concubine was pregnant, he didn't sell Ruan Qingqing and Ruan Qingqing's people, which was a favor to Xiao Han.
