I am the Tao of bad people

The core point of the theory of the development of things is that no matter what happens in this world, it will eventually be resolved.

In the autumn of the twelfth year of Datong, in the case of Chu, maritime trade was officially nationalized. The gentry and nobles only had a participating stake and could share profits and dividends every year, but were prohibited from operating the business. The operating rights were reserved for the emperor to designate specific persons and were handled on a special basis.

Not only that, from this moment on, the Jinyiwei of the Tang Dynasty officially appeared and became the supervisory department of the Tang Dynasty together with the Bad People of the Tang Dynasty.

All of a sudden, the dirty and evil trends within the Bad People were cleared up, and everyone was cautious and serious about their work. Shen Feng's catfish effect made the government, which had gradually become stagnant, come alive again.

Everything that rises must fall, and this is also the inevitable path of the development of things.

As the emperor, what Shen Feng has to do is to continuously break this cycle of cause and effect.

the following year.

In the autumn of the 13th year of Datong, just one year after the nationalization of maritime trade, the national finances of the Tang Dynasty experienced explosive growth. At the same time, after more than ten years of painstaking efforts, the Tang Dynasty navy finally had its first formal navy - the Hangzhou First Fleet.

In the spring of the 14th year of Datong, Emperor Wuzong issued an order, appointing Zhou Dewei as the chief general, to once again raise an army in Yanyun. An army of 250,000 marched north, including civilians who transported grain, and falsely claimed that they had 500,000 soldiers of the Great Tang, and marched north to attack the Jurchen tribes in the northeast.

The beautiful map of autumn-leaf begonias is the eternal desire of my heart.

Zhou Dewei had defended the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun for decades and had experienced many wars, so he was already familiar with the nomadic warfare tactics.

He was the main general, and the Tang army was full of fighting spirit. In just one and a half years, the three Jurchen tribes were swept away by the Tang army led by Zhou Dewei, and the northeastern tribes were incorporated into the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

In the autumn of the 15th year of Datong, Zhou Dewei led his army back to Beijing. Halfway through the journey, he unfortunately fell ill in the Liaohe River due to his old age and frailty. He was unable to get up for several days. He had to hand over the army to his deputy generals and ordered them to return to Beijing first, while he himself led a small team and marched slowly behind.

Unexpectedly, when Zhou Dewei reached Shuozhou in Shanxi, he had a high fever again. This veteran who had fought on many battlefields for half his life finally returned to his hometown after a year of seeking spiritual guidance.

He was born in Yanyun, raised in Yanyun, and guarded Yanyun. At the last moment of his life, he returned to Yanyun.

"Your Majesty, I can't walk any more."

Looking back on his life, he has a clear conscience.

Winter of the fifteenth year of Datong.

Zhou Dewei died of illness in his hometown of Shuozhou.

When Wuzong heard the question, he sighed deeply and said, "I have lost another arm."

The court then suspended court for three days, posthumously conferred the title of Liehou on Zhou Dewei, and conferred the title on three generations of Zhou Dewei to show the court's respect.

The eunuchs recorded Wuzong's words, and later historians believed that Wuzong was commemorating Gao Siji, because Zhuanghou Gao Siji was older and had died of illness seven years earlier.

……

Spring of the seventeenth year of Datong.

The prosperous Tang Dynasty has reappeared, and Wuzong personally led an army of 200,000 to the east to attack Goguryeo.

During the war-torn years of the Tang Dynasty, Goguryeo, ruled by the Silla people, had long since returned and rebelled again. Now that the Tang Dynasty has recovered, it is time to deal with this disobedient dog.

This hard bone that even Emperor Taizong couldn't chew was chewed by Shen Feng using the Tiangang Jue.

In this battle, Wuzong personally took part in the battle, using his Tiangang internal force to kill people in all directions and intimidate disobedient people. Crown Prince Li Sheng supervised the country in the rear and transported food and grass. The Queen's second son, Prince Ning Shen Kuo, also rode on a horse to kill the enemy and enhance the prestige of the Tang Dynasty.

In just less than a year, the entire Liaodong Peninsula was incorporated into the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

However, it was this exceptionally successful foreign war that caused a strange atmosphere within the Tang Dynasty.

Autumn of the eighteenth year of Datong.

Yunnan.

Yunnan King Shen He had been wild since she was a child. She had bid farewell to Shen Feng and Chi Meng long ago and went to her fiefdom in Yunnan. The emperor was far away, and she didn't have to look at her parents' faces to do anything she wanted. She was so happy.

But late at night on that day, the palace guards brought her a letter.

Shen He looked at the letter embroidered with gold edges, and she couldn't help but frowned her beautiful and heroic brows.

"It even has a gold tattoo, which is very showy... Where does this belief come from?"

"Your Majesty, I am from Chang'an."

Shen He's confidants continued to call him "Prince", and his subordinates had followed him for many years. Shen Feng never cared about the gender of his children and raised them equally. Later, Shen He made a career in her fiefdom, so that no one regarded her as a lady.

Even now, no one dares to ask about my marriage.

In Yunnan, she is an absolute king. "Chang'an... Oh, after so many years, who else would think of me except my father and mother?"

Shen He chuckled and waved his hand casually, and his subordinates tactfully withdrew quietly.

She moved her slender hands slightly and gently opened the envelope, trying her best to keep the appearance of the letter intact.

Letter paper open.

"A letter is as good as a face to face. King Yunnan has lived in southern Xinjiang for a long time. How have you been?"

"I heard that the prince's swordsmanship has improved greatly recently, and he almost cut off all his marriage ties? That's a wonderful thing! Haha, I won't joke with you anymore."

"I wonder how much the King of Yunnan knows about the recent events in Chang'an? You may have been negligent, but you should understand the important things of humanity. My father was thirty when he ascended the throne. It is the end of the eighteenth year of Datong. My father is nearly fifty, and the dragon is getting old."

"I have already sent you this letter, so I will not beat around the bush. Last year, my father went on an expedition to Goguryeo. It was my army that led the army forward and it was me who broke through the enemy's formation and slew the enemy. I am much more like my father than he is like Li Sheng!"

"We all have different surnames, and even if we have the same parents, we won't have the same mind."

"State affairs are state affairs, they are important matters! The future crown prince is the state affair! Sister, just tell me, why should we, the Shens, listen to that Li?"

"To be frank, there are many ministers in the court who are willing to lead me to plan great things! Of course, we are not rebellious people, how dare we offend the emperor? We have only one goal, and that is Li Sheng!"

"But the garrison in Chang'an is composed entirely of my father's direct lineage, and this is also the headquarters of the Jinyiwei and the Bad People, who monitor all directions. I have no one to use, and even if I had soldiers, I would not be able to enter Chang'an."

“But opportunities are created.”

"It is almost the beginning of the year, and the King of Yunnan will come to Beijing to meet the emperor. With your status, you can legally return to Beijing from your fiefdom in Yunnan and bring 500 elite frontier soldiers with you!"

"Five hundred is enough!"

"I would like to take this opportunity to go first and directly attack the Prince's Mansion, and decide the outcome with one strike!"

"If I am lucky enough to ascend to the throne, I will give you half of the southeastern country. You and I will never doubt each other and share wealth and honor!"

"You are the second Wu Zetian. History books will record you!"

"Sister, we are the closest."

"Sister, you have to help me!"

"Ah……"

Shen He laughed inexplicably and shook his head helplessly.

"I dare not offend my father... I think you are afraid of being beaten to death by Tiangang's internal force?"

"You are quite cautious, calling me brother and sister all the time. You don't even dare to write your own name. How can I know which king you are? What do you think, Shen Kuo?"

Even though the letter stated that Goguryeo was the first to arrive...but he was not the only prince who followed the army to attack Goguryeo.

Jiangchen, Yinggou, Xuanjingtian, Miaochengtian, my father has so many concubines, so naturally he has more children.

But the only one who had the courage to write a letter was Shen Kuo.

After all, this is the confidence of a legitimate son. Even if he is the second son, he dares to do things that illegitimate sons dare not do.

Shen He sighed, she carefully put the letter back into the envelope, and then she carefully re-sealed the letter with wax along the traces of opening.

Silent night.

She fell into a long period of contemplation.

The night ends and the day dawns.

A red light was faintly visible in front of the mountain.

The purple eyes in her eyes were as bright as Chi Meng's.

"Someone is coming."

"Organize the army and march into the capital!"
