Ji Tang

Chapter 1169: The soil and water support the people——
When Ji Qing and Xu Jingzong saw Pingyang and Chai Shao again, it was an hour later.

Xu Jingzong looked like he had already gotten over the shadow in his heart. For him, there was no psychological burden, it was just the most useless thing!

At this time, he looked back and forth between the two of them with an inquiring look on his face, as if he wanted to see something.In the end, he probably didn't see what he wanted to see, so he shook his head in disappointment.

Pingyang glared at the old Bu Xiu fiercely, while Chai Shao looked confused. Apparently he still didn't know why this guy looked disappointed?
"Qing, meet Duke Jiao!"

Ji Qing was amused, she didn't expect the majestic Jiao Guogong to have such a scene.But he didn't dare to delay his movements at all, and he quickly saluted.

"Xu Jingzong of Anxi Changshi Mansion, pays homage to Duke Jiao!"

I didn't take the excitement into consideration. Although I was a little disappointed, I didn't dare to exceed the etiquette.

"Don't be too polite!"

Chai Shao was very happy when he saw Pingyang. He smiled at everyone he saw and directly supported him.

"Are you Ji Qing?"

When looking at Ji Qing, Chai Shao showed a trace of satisfaction and said with a smile: "The boy back then is now a pillar of the Tang Dynasty. It's good, it's really good."

"I heard about you. You resigned from all official positions, took your own bodyguards and came to the Western Regions. This kind of courage and courage is rare among the younger generation, and it is not in vain for Ziyi's years of teaching!"

"Teacher has been kind to me and reborn. Now he is in danger. How can we just sit idly by and ignore him?"

Ji Qing said indifferently: "Contributions can be made at any time, but if you lose your duty as a human being, what will happen even if you are a minister?"

Chai Shao nodded with satisfaction, patted his shoulder and said, "You have grown up after all!"

Then he ordered the army to set up camp. Both Pingyang and his party, as well as the army brought by Chai Shao, were already exhausted. The sun was about to set. It was just a good time to rest for a night. It would not be too late to set off tomorrow!
-
"Bang~"

In the dead of night, a tent stood upright on the desolate Gobi Desert. In a tent, Chai Shao and Ping Yang hugged each other on the bed.Enjoy the moment of tranquility!

"What are you talking about, why did you come to the Western Regions when you had nothing to do? Someone was plotting against you before you even arrived. If Ziyi hadn't made a decisive decision and sent the man named Xu to delay the situation, how would it have ended?"

"As soon as you arrive at the camp, will this matter be made clear?"

Chai Shao complained, Pingyang did this without considering it, and so did His Majesty. It would have been fine just to send someone else, so why did he let her come?

"Okay, have you finally spoken out what's on your mind?"

Pingyang Liu's eyebrows stood up, and he pinched the soft flesh of Chai Shao's waist, causing him to cry out in pain!

"It hurts, you're crazy!"

Pingyang snorted and said angrily: "If I don't come, who will? We can't let Cheng Qian come, right? I'm afraid it will be even more worrying than me coming. Ziyi and Cheng Qian are both good enough to wear a pair of pants. Once they get together, who can guarantee that nothing will happen?"

"What about King Wei and King Wu? Should they come to the head office?" Chai Shao asked in confusion.

"Ha! What are you thinking about? You don't think it's messy enough to dislike the royal family, right?"

Pingyang kicked him under the quilt, and then said a little depressed: "They are all good boys. In order to prevent the tragedy from happening again, they have not even come to Chang'an these years except for holidays. Isn't it just to not give those people a chance? "

"Now that we finally got out, all they have to do is sneak in. Do you believe they will pounce on you like mad dogs that smell meat?"

"It's difficult for Your Majesty. Ziyi now almost controls the Western Region Army, which is Zhang Datang's most powerful force. Apart from the few trump cards in his hand, which other army can compete?"

"Sixteenth Guards? Or local soldiers?"

"It's true that the Sixteenth Guards are the elite of the Tang Dynasty, but it depends on who they are compared with. They are an army that has not fought in many years. Do you expect them to be compared with the fierce soldiers who fight with foreign races all day long? Those people in the local area do not only suppress some What else can a rebellion hope for?”

Pingyang said irritably: "Now there is a lot of discussion in the court. Even some stupid women dare to openly amuse Zi Yi. I wouldn't believe it if no one was behind it!"

Thinking of Ji's actions when he came, although the methods seemed cruel, maybe she felt uneasy?

"I am his aunt, an elder who has watched him grow up, and I am the eldest princess of the royal family. No one is more suitable than me. What's more, I am here myself."

"Ziyi is disabled, and the entire northwest of the Tang Dynasty is weighing on him. It seems that he took the initiative to come to the Western Regions this time, but who can know the sadness in his heart?"

"The man who was originally a document-taker was first forced by the couple to take the position of No. 1 in the military. Then they pressed him step by step, as if they would not stop until they drained him of all his value."

"But how can it be so easy to straighten out the current affairs of the Tang Dynasty? How many people has he offended while sitting in that position over the years? How many people have he killed? From top to bottom in the army, he helped the couple eliminate internal troubles and establish Supervision system. In the end, such heavy power was given to that old man Li Ji!"

As he spoke, Pingyang lay on Chai Shao's chest and cried.Sobbing, "Do you think he can hold on?"

"The big man-eating man is coming so hard that he basically agreed to come to the Western Region without much thought, but isn't this what he is avoiding!"

"I'm afraid that in his heart, his life or death is uncertain, and he has already been prepared to die in battle!"

Chai Shao looked at his wife in his arms in shock. He couldn't calm down for a long time. After a while, he said in disbelief: "Are you a little bit..."

"A little exaggerated?"

Pingyang took over his words and sneered: "Then what do you think he can do? If he stays in the court, I'm afraid that when Cheng Qianyi succeeds to the throne, he will be dealt with next! I know the ruthlessness of the emperor's family better than you. !”

"He can only hide. Just watch. If he successfully survives the crisis this time, he will definitely try his best to withdraw from the court. If the couple in the palace continues to force him, I really don't think he dares to disappear without a trace. Without a trace?"

"It's so big overseas. I've heard that that kid has a good place for him in Neptune. At worst, he goes overseas. As long as he doesn't die, who dares to touch the Ji family?" Chai Shao looked at his house blankly. The wife murmured: "Thankfully I haven't been in court these past few years, otherwise I don't know how I died!"

"Your Majesty, he treats Ziyi."

Pingyang was stunned, seeing Chai Shao's hesitant expression, and said disdainfully: "While trusting me, I started to be defensive at the same time. It's just the emperor's mind. How can a real emperor be in any mood? He's just weighing the pros and cons!"

"I'm here to control the situation. As long as I'm watching by his side, who in the court would dare to be arrogant? Do they still want to say that I'm going to rebel?"

Then a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said in a cold voice: "In order to plot against Ziyi, they have taken great pains, and they even plotted against me. What a skill, what a skill!"

Chai Shao had a headache and pulled Pingyang down on the bed. He said with a dark face: "Okay, don't think about these things. You are the princess of the Tang Dynasty, and you are my wife, Lingwu, Zhewei." My mother, any woman who dares to bully me is breaking the law."

"Next time, if anyone dares to gossip, I will put him in a dilemma of life and death!"

Looking at the grinning husband, Pingyang felt warm in his heart, and actually comforted him: "Okay, okay, I know the majesty of General Chai. But don't do it, now is the critical time, don't make trouble." Make it difficult for Ziyi to do it."

"As an uncle, please don't cause trouble to your family!"

Chai Shao boasted on his face and said angrily: "Okay, okay, why don't you beat me to death? Grandma, when have I ever been so aggrieved? Don't let me know who it is, otherwise."

It was warm as spring inside the tent, and the cold moonlight outside the tent shone on the earth that had not changed through the ages.I don’t know how many people have been buried on this land for thousands of years, but at least at this moment, she is quiet and gentle.
Poison in the body, Rajagaha!

March has passed in the blink of an eye. At this time, the city of Wangsha has long since settled down. Many of the surrounding separatist forces were beaten by tens of thousands of troops trained by Wang Xuance and Shen Zhen. No matter what, at least they all surrendered.

Although many people could not see the situation clearly and were unwilling to submit to a queen who was supported by Buddhism, in an era where strength determined everything, all their dissatisfaction disappeared after being captured alive.

In just three months, dozens of cities returned to Amelia's command, and even the army expanded to 15 people, which can be said to be a strong force.

Under Shen Zhen's training, although he can't be compared with the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, at least he has the appearance of ordering and prohibiting, and will not be messy and unseemly!
The royal palace in Rajagaha was originally the place where the king handled government affairs, but now it is occupied by Wang Xuance, who handles reports sent from various places!
In order to facilitate management and to be legitimate, Amelia and Master Jiexian discussed and decided to appoint Wang Xuance as the Prime Minister of Magadha, taking charge of all important military and political affairs.

At that time, Wang Xuance and others were shocked. How could they still play like this?
But under the persuasion of Jiexian, others and the queen, Wang Xuance took the courage.Facts have proved that their decision was right.Neither Queen Amelia nor Jiexian and others had experience in governing the country. After the initial confusion, they had to ask Wang Xuance for help.

This means that Datang knows that it is impossible to take action against Shendu now, otherwise no matter how hard it is, he will not be asked to be the prime minister of the country.

You must know that the entire army of Magadha is now under the control of the Tang army. Once Wang Xuance and others get hot-headed and come to occupy the magpie's nest, they will have no place to cry!
And for the sake of the future, Amelia spent this time beside Wang Xuance, serving tea and water, and asking for some advice on how to govern the country.

In name, he was taking care of the noble envoy. When Wang Xuance heard this, he just laughed and did not refuse!
"You see, the area here is flat, the land is fertile, and there are many rivers passing through it. It is simply a natural granary. As long as good fields are cultivated here, within three years, it will be a land of abundance. In ten years, even if it can feed millions No one is bothered!”

"And here, this bay is a good port, and it is located in the Bay of Bengal and close to the city of Rajagaha. Once a port is established here and maritime trade is developed, prosperity will surely flourish, and it will be difficult to become rich!"

"And whether it is going south to trade with the southern countries, or going east to trade with the Tang Dynasty and many island countries in the southeast, it is extremely convenient."

Wang Xuance pointed out the country on the map with great interest. At this time, the map was like a blank piece of paper. It was clearly located in a moderate zone with no shortage of land and water, but it could not develop.If this had been the case, the Tang Dynasty would have been destroyed countless times. Letting them survive for one more day would be a blasphemy to this place!
He hated iron and said: "You remember, once you take control of the royal power, you must immediately restrict Buddhism and all religions. You can preach, but if you dare to get involved in politics, you would rather kill a thousand people than let one go!"

Amelia stared blankly at Wang Xuance, who was full of energy and giving guidance. She didn't know what she thought of, but suddenly her face turned red!
"Eh? Is it hot? Why are you blushing? Are you sick?"

Wang Xuance was talking and found that Amelia had not spoken, so he turned to look.

"No, no, I'm just a little uncomfortable!"

After this period of getting along, Amelia can also speak some simple Chinese.She is very smart, at least smarter than most people, which makes Wang Xuance extremely comfortable when explaining.

No teacher is willing to teach a student. If this student is still the head of a country, it will give him an overwhelming sense of accomplishment!
"But it's okay, keep talking!"

Seeing that Wang Xuance still wanted to ask, Amelia said quickly.

"Forget it, that's it for today!"

Putting away the map, Wang Xuance said with some pity: "To be honest, your land is too fertile and the climate is mild. There is basically no cold winter, which is extremely beneficial to the growth of crops. Once you settle down and develop, decades later, it will inevitably Another big, powerful country.”

"It's just a pity!"

"What's a pity?" Amelia asked curiously.

Wang Xuance glanced at him. Originally, he was not prepared to say these things.But in the end, for some unknown reason, he sighed: "It's a pity that no one will cherish the things that are readily available. It is precisely the mild environment that makes the people living here lose their enterprising spirit."

"This can be seen from Brahmanism and Buddhism!"

"One is a noble of the eternal lineage, and the other is Buddhism who pursues the afterlife. I do not deny that Sakyamuni was a great man, even better than the great sages of the Central Plains."

"We in the Central Plains have told future generations very early on that man can conquer nature. Whether it was Dayu who controlled the floods or the earlier Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, they all took the lead and led their ancestors to defeat everything step by step in the barbaric era where wild beasts roamed. This is Only then have we won valuable wealth for future generations of China.”

"They don't seek the afterlife, they only seek this life. They seek to leave a name in history and benefit the world. This may be the difference between Divine Poison and the Central Plains!"

"But it is undeniable that I see your open-mindedness and optimism here, as if nothing can make you lose, and you are good at singing and dancing."

Amelia thoughtfully asked, "Which of these two methods is better?"

Wang Xuance was stunned. He was suddenly asked.

Yes, life is hard, but it benefits future generations.Once you are happy and safe, you will have hope despite the hardships, believing that as long as you are good in this life, you will be able to live a good life in the next life.

He smiled bitterly: "I don't know either, maybe time will give the answer."
