A thousand-year-old family that began with the Battle of Makino

Chapter 383: There is a puppet on the throne of the palace, and the Bai Kingdom is famous all over the world.

Since Emperor Wu, the world has been divided into one region, one region and twelve states.

The first one is the Sili Xiaowei Department, which includes Sanfu (You Fufeng, Zuo Fengxu, Jingzhao Yin), Sanhe (Henan Yin, Hedong County, Hanoi County) and Hongnong County.

The first region is the chief historian of the Western Regions, which evolved from the Western Regions Protectorate in the former Han Dynasty, and the chief officer is the chief historian of the Western Regions.

The twelve states were divided on the basis of the nine states divided by Xia Yu. Because of the terrain and other factors at this time, the boundaries of the twelve states of the Han Dynasty were very different from those of the ancient Jiuzhou.

The twelve states of the Han Dynasty from north to south are Youzhou, Bingzhou, Liangzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yizhou and Jiaozhou.

Since the Allied Forces in Guandong to fight against Dong split and Dong Zhuo escaped into Guanzhong, the world situation at this time has undergone great changes.

Nowadays, all the governors, governors or state pastors in the world, except for a few, are generally under the leadership of the emperor Liu Xie in name, but in fact they all have their own affairs.

Because at this time, Liu Xie no longer had his own imperial army, only a few hundred palace guards, and the power in his hands was no different from that of Emperor Zhou in the last years of the Zhou Dynasty.

Dong Zhuo controls Guanzhong because he holds Liu Xie's trump card and the entire central imperial army before the Luoyang coup. He is now the largest prince in the world.

Secondly, Yuan Shao, the shepherd of Jizhou, who occupied Jizhou; Yuan Shu, the rear general who occupied Yuzhou; Gongsun Zan, the general of Liao Dynasty who occupied Youzhou, one county in Jizhou (Bohai County), and one county in Qingzhou (Pingyuan Kingdom).

These three families are the second-tier princes after Dong Zhuo. Among them, Jizhou and Yuzhou are the richest places in the world, so Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are extremely powerful.

Although Gongsun Zan occupies one state and two counties, Youzhou is too poor. If it were not supported by the two counties of Bohai and Pingyuan, it would not be ranked in the second echelon.

Further down are Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao who occupied Yanzhou; Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian who occupied Xuzhou, Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, and Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao.

Because Liu Yan was located in the closed-off Shu region, he received little attention from outsiders. He closed the door and dreamed of his dream of being an earth emperor. The world was in turmoil, but he never made a sound.

Tao Qian is a low-key person. If it were not for the purpose of wiping out the Xuzhou Yellow Turbans, he would have been serving as the governor of Xuzhou in Xuzhou. He has never had any ambitions, and his actions only benefit one party. He is a standard Hanchen. Similar to Youzhou Mu Liu Yu.

Compared with Liu Yan, another Han clan clan member Liu Biao is more eye-catching.

Because the territories of Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, and Liu Biao were distributed like a thousand-layer cake.

Therefore, in order to fight against Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan formed an alliance with Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shao formed an alliance with Cao Cao and Liu Biao. Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan, Cao Cao and Yuan Shu, Liu Biao and Yuan Shu began to attack each other.

The last echelon is the states that have not decided on the final winner, or that do not want to participate in the world hegemony due to various reasons.

They are Liangzhou, which is caught in internal strife, Bingzhou, which is barren, Yangzhou, which is blocked in development, Jiaozhou, which is far away from the Central Plains, and Qingzhou, which is caught in the Yellow Turban craze.

From the turmoil in the world, the Yellow Turbans were pacified, to the current chaos in the world, with the princes attacking, it was only a year after Liu Hong's death.

In this year, Liu Bian, He Jin, Shi Changshi, Queen Mother He died, and almost the entire upper class of the Han Dynasty died of strife with each other.

This has to make people sigh.

But there is one place, no matter how turbulent the outside is, and the characters change like flowing water across the bank, what it was like a year ago will still be the same a year later, he is Bai Guo.

Under the power of King Bai and the Bai clan of the past dynasties, whether it was Yuan Shao or Dong Zhuo, they seemed to have subconsciously ignored the Bai Kingdom, even though it was located in the Sili Xiaowei Department and was only separated from Luoyang by a river.

It is like an island in the middle of a river. No matter how rough the water below is, it is there, just like it was there before.

Birds fly in the bamboo forest, sometimes standing on the top of the bamboo, bending the green bamboo, sometimes spreading their wings and flying, causing the bamboo leaves to swing continuously.

There is a lake-like pond in the middle, with lotus flowers living in half of the pond, fish and shrimps playing underneath, pavilions and pavilions beside the pond, especially a house-sized "Lake Center Pavilion" deep into the pond.

People who know how to cultivate their sentiments can spot this place at a glance, because this is definitely the best place to look around the scenery along the entire pond.

There are mostly bamboos on the north side of the pond, flower beds on the east side, willow trees on the west side, and houses on the south side, with various flowers and plants mixed in between.

This is the only garden in the Bai Mansion of the Bai Kingdom. It is called the Garden of Appreciation. It is the favorite place for the white kings in the past. Staying here can relieve the fatigue of the day.

Baifu is the abbreviation of Baiwang Palace. It is located in the north of Chaoge and occupies half of the north city. It is not only the residence of Baiwang, but also the location of various government offices of Baiguo.

The Bai Mansion is divided into front and rear parts. The front part is where various government offices are located, and the back part is where King Bai lives and where the Bai family's sons live. The layout is similar to that of the Nangong Palace in Luoyang and the Weiyang Palace in Chang'an.

However, in the emperor's palace of the Han Dynasty, the inner palace occupied a much larger area than the outer palace, while in the White Palace, the outer palace occupied a larger area than the apse.

The eighty-eight-year-old Bai Wang Bai Ke is standing upright in the "Youxin Pavilion". Although he is old, his hand holding the brush is still as steady as a mountain pine, writing on bamboo paper.

At a time when paper is more expensive than gold, bamboo paper is more precious than straw paper, because no matter how the straw paper is made, the finished product will eventually turn yellow, but bamboo paper is not the same, because it is made from the heart of bamboo, and the finished product is as white as snow, which is the best in the world. The finest paper.

However, because the production is too time-consuming, very little is produced in a year, making this kind of paper more valuable than jewelry, gold and jade, and it is called "gold paper" in the eyes of scholars.

Because of the cost, today's scholars rarely use paper and mostly use bamboo slips. Even today, even the richest King Bai in the world can only use straw paper occasionally.

Therefore, bamboo paper has always been the carrier for Confucian scholars to write poems. If a famous scholar wrote a famous poem in the world, he would always spend a lot of money to buy bamboo paper and write it down. Such a famous poem is worth thousands of gold and is difficult to buy.

After writing the last word, Bai Ke stopped writing and stood up. He took the seal on the side and stamped it with "Bai Shike Seal".

"Take care of it and put it away."

After Bai Ke finished his instructions, the attendant on the side carefully put away the post and stepped back respectfully. Because Bai Ke is a rare calligrapher in the world. In today's situation where paper is more expensive than gold, Bai Ke, because of his family relationship, has good calligraphy skills. His pen is famous for its straightness and straightness.

As a result, most scholars in the world know that there was a man named Ke in the Bai family who was a great writer, but few know that this great calligrapher is the current King Bai.

After doing all this, Bai Ke looked up at his great-grandchildren standing in a row.

Yes, it was the great-grandson. Because the White King generally lived a long life, the Crown Prince succeeded to the throne by more than sixty years. Now he needs to find some young, energetic, and not too eye-catching tribesmen. He can only go from the great-grandson. try to find.

These are the Bai family's sons who are over twenty years old, and he is going to let them do something unprecedented.

"Boys, do you know what I want you to do?"

Bai Ke slowly sat on the couch by the lake and asked testily.

There are a total of nine Bai family members here, and all of them have divine seals between their eyebrows, and they all behave in the same manner as everyone else, but their expressions and personalities are different.

But no matter what their usual state was, when facing the head of the Bai family, they all showed a respectful attitude of being trained.

"Grandpa, my grandson may know." A Bai family member said.

"Jiu'er, let's talk about it."

In order to distinguish seniority and age, each generation of Bai's children will be ranked by the family after birth. The first born in this generation will be ranked accordingly.

Bai Lu respectfully replied: "Nowadays, the world is falling into internal strife and attacks. The royal family has become the object of the world's princes and has lost the ability to suppress the world.

The situation at this time was just like that of the late Han Dynasty. As the vassal kings of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty collapsed, and the Bai Kingdom could not escape the turmoil. In the early years of the Han Dynasty, the family supported Emperor Guangwu, and thus restored the unification of the world at an extremely fast speed.

Now that the scene of the former Han Dynasty is reappearing, it must be necessary to support a Ming Dynasty to save the division of the Xia and restore the glory of the empire.

Previously, we were all sent to learn the art of recognizing people from Mr. Xu Shao and Mr. Xu You, the masters of the academy. Now, those here are all the most proud disciples of these two gentlemen.

Based on the summary, Sun Er believes that the family needs us to go out and find the next Emperor Guangwu. "

The rest of the Bai family also agreed with Bai Lu's views and expressed support.

Bai Ke was very satisfied with the accurate vision of his descendants: "Very good. You can think what others think and see things that have never happened before. This shows that you have not wasted your time and have lived up to the family's efforts to cultivate you." .

Yes, I am going to send you out to search for the next enlightened master who can unify the world.

However, I still have requirements here. In the past, I had no choice, so Ying Zheng came out, which made the world exhausted and nine houses out of ten.

Later, we became capable, so we supported Liu Xiu and preserved the sacred place of Jizhou, which also enabled the Han Dynasty to defeat the Xiongnu in one fell swoop after decades of recovery.

There is no need to learn from the previous Han Dynasty, it needs to be restored for hundreds of years, so that the Siege of Baideng happened.

Now our goal is to preserve the entire Hebei land. Your clan uncles have already told you everything about the current situation in the world before coming here, and it should be clear now.

Although Yuan Shao has seized control of Jizhou now, he is not a wise ruler, but a timid and scheming person who cherishes his life when doing big things and forgets his life when he sees small gains.

Although Gongsun Zan was brave, marched and fought like a famous general, he could only be a general, not a master. It was not a good thing to live in Youzhou for a long time.

Bingzhou is barren and ownerless, but I see that the world is in chaos now, and many people have fled to Bingzhou, especially in Taiyuan and Shangdang counties, where many refugees have come. However, Zhenbei Prefecture is here, which can protect it for a short time, but not for a long time.

There are only three states in Hebei, and the Bai family in Henan is beyond our reach. We can only gather the general momentum of the three states in Hebei, and hope to occupy Henan, so as to return to the situation of great unification.

Although the family has its own evaluation of the world's heroes, it is not appropriate to not see it with your own eyes as to what this person is and whether he is a deceitful person. That's why we have planned to gather you all together.

There are three Ming masters supported by the Bai family: virtue, talent, and prudence. If you support someone without virtue, you may bring disaster to Hebei; if you support someone without talent, you may be destroyed by the heroes of Henan; if you support someone without prudence, you may cause disaster to the family. These three are not the same.

There is great chaos today, which is caused by the imbalance between man and earth, so there is chaos, but chaos cannot be constant. Prolonged chaos will lead to the alienation of alien tribes, which will be detrimental to all Xia.

Therefore, you have five years to find a lord of Hebei, then five years to unify Hebei, and ten years to pacify the world.

At that time, after years of war, the relationship between man and earth is complicated, and people's hearts and minds can be reconciled, they will be reunited. "

"I will obey the order of the master!"

Bai Ke looked at the nine Bai clans in front of him and said lovingly: "It's better to go back home than to go here. The situation outside is extremely complicated and anything can happen. The main thing is to save lives.

I will create a special talisman for you, which is for the Bai Kingdom. Holding this talisman can mobilize all the power of the local Bai Kingdom and the Bai family.

In addition, the family has reorganized the White Guards in recent years. Each of you will lead five White Guards to protect yourself. Remember that as long as people are around, everything can be done again. If the person is gone, everything is in vain. "

The nine Bai family members felt the family's concern and said respectfully: "Master, please rest assured that we will not lose the name of the Bai family."

Bai Ke showed a rare smile: "Go and see for the family who is the next destined son."
