Hee Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 92 Internal Worry (fourth update, addition completed)

Tian Feng shook his head, took a closer look at Yuan Xi, and found that the ferocious and ferocious blood dragon had disappeared, and only a face full of cold came into view, he was relieved immediately, and then some Worried, he cupped his fists and persuaded: "Master, you must calm down. Although Xianbei's strength is far inferior to that of the Huns, you must not underestimate it. You need to be cautious. After all, the battle of the Central Plains is the key to your son."

Yuan Xi's expression froze, and he tried his best to suppress the killing intent and anger in his heart, and said softly, "Uncle Tian, ​​don't worry, Xi will not act impulsively."

"That's good." Tian Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Uncle Tian, ​​what you said today has been firmly in mind, but these are all external troubles, are there any internal worries?" Yuan Xi knew very well that if Xianbei dared to call, with his character, he would definitely fight immediately Yes, and don't kill him for tens of thousands of miles, and vow not to give up, but if the internal troubles are not eliminated, how can we calm the external troubles.

Tian Feng was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head helplessly. From this sentence, he knew that Yuan Xi probably still wanted to touch Xianbei, otherwise he would not have asked this question. Endless troubles.

"Internal worries mainly lie in two aspects. One is the powerful clan in Youzhou. Among them, the strength of the three major families is the most astonishing. They are the Cui family in Zhujun County, the Yu family in Guangyang County, and the Hong family in Shanggu County. These three families are all noble families. The heirs of the family are either merchants or officials, and they are extremely powerful. They are like emperors in various counties, controlling the political power. I once told the lord to take measures against them and limit their rights. At that time, I made a little effort, so the lord couldn't bear it, and the lord has always adopted a tolerant policy towards the powerful gentry in each state, which led to them gradually monopolizing important positions at all levels in Youzhou, gaining power politically, and economically, they They wantonly annexed land and managed manors. Since the gentry did not need to pay taxes, the treasury was empty and gradually became a separate regime, making it impossible to effectively implement the state government's decrees. If things go on like this, it will become a huge disaster." Tian Feng is serious and worried Said.

"Is Cui Yu from the Cui family?" Yuan Xi asked suddenly. Wasn't this the guy who robbed the property of the Shen family in Yi County a while ago?

"Yes, the Cui family is in Zhuo County, which is in the county. He is the eldest son of the Cui family, but his talent is very average, and he is double-faced. The lord has just set off for Youzhou. He has already led his troops to betray Gongsun before the war begins. Praise, I surrendered to my lord," Tian Feng said with some disdain.

Yuan Xi smiled coldly, "The gentry is the foundation of the great cause, and it should be given some preferential treatment. Xi has no objection, but if you can't keep your own place, then don't blame Xi."

Yuan Xi has already reserved these words, because the privileges of the gentry cannot be revoked now. In this era, there is no such thing as an imperial examination. The selection of talents depends on family background and talent. Without the help of these gentry, it is only by recruiting From a poor family, where did he find so many talents to manage the counties? Now it is not a nine-year compulsory education, and there are very few people who can read and write, so if they don't block Yuan Xi's certificate issuance, Yuan Xi will not move them.

"My lord is wise, as long as they don't hinder your ruling, and can help you with all your heart, you can let them continue to be peaceful. When you rule the world, you can really start. No one can stop you at that time," Tian Feng praised.

Yuan Xi smiled slightly, "Although these three families are powerful, he is not a problem. Although they are arrogant, they can still compare with my Yuan Xi and my Yuan family. Uncle Tian, ​​let's talk about the second one!"

"Yes, the second one is the Black Mountain Army, but Feng is not completely sure. Although they have been defeated by the lord, they have already dispersed, but they may have fled to Youzhou, or they may be in Bingzhou, or they are hiding in In the mountains of Jizhou, silently accumulate strength," Tian Feng said with some hesitation.

"Black Mountain Army" Yuan Xi frowned, and said in a deep voice, "I remember the Black Mountain Army, they seem to have helped Gongsun Zan deal with his father!"

"Yes, the Black Mountain Army is active in the valleys of the Taihang Mountains in Zhongshan, Changshan, Zhaojun, Shangdang, Hanoi and other places. Because it started the Heishan uprising at the southern end of the Taihang Mountains, it was called the Black Mountain Army. The Black Mountain Army was originally very Strong, otherwise they would not be cited by Gongsun Zan as an arm. They stand together in the valley, the big ones are [-] to [-], and the small ones are [-] to [-]. At their peak, they were even known as the "Millions of Black Mountain Army". Huge, but fortunately they are independent and not unified, so the threat is much smaller, but their whereabouts are secretive, and it is difficult to destroy, and the Lord often has a headache for them," Tian Feng said seriously.

"The Black Mountain Army has a million." Yuan Xi shrank his pupils. Although the area of ​​the Black Mountain Army was not within Youzhou, it was indeed adjacent. This number made him vigilant.

"Young master, don't worry, a million is an imaginary number. Few of them can really fight. Their leader is called Zhang Yan. Because this person is as light as a swallow, but also brave and good at fighting, everyone calls him "Feiyan". Zhang Yan is brave. In addition, there is no lack of knowledge. In his hands, the Black Mountain Army continued to grow, and communicated with the rebels in Changshan, Zhaojun, Zhongshan, Shangdang, Hanoi and other places. Many rebels brought their troops to join Zhang Yan. Later, he was unable to send troops to encircle and suppress the imperial court, so he took the initiative to write a letter to the imperial court requesting surrender. The emperor then appointed Zhang Yan as the general of the middle man in peace, changing from a bandit to an official. Once defeated, the Black Mountain Army under his command suffered heavy losses, and now they have broken up and fled around to avoid being hunted down. Feng was worried that they would flee from Changshan and Zhongshan to Youzhou, because it had just been pacified and was still a little unstable. If you find the Black Mountain Army in Youzhou in the future, you should pay attention, Zhang Yan hates the lord and the entire Yuan family extremely, and there is basically no possibility of receiving or paying it," Tian Feng said seriously.

"Zhang Yan..." An inexplicable chill appeared in Yuan Xi's eyes.

Boom!

It was a light knock on the door, and Yuan Xi frowned, "What's the matter?"

"Young Master, someone from the General's Mansion said that Madam asked you to go over immediately." Liu Quan's voice came in.

"Mother" Yuan Xi frowned, looked at Tian Feng, and said respectfully: "Uncle Tian, ​​it looks like I'm going to go there, Xie has remembered all the things you said, don't worry, Xie won't let you disappointment"

Tian Feng nodded, and finally said seriously: "My lord, you have to keep in mind that what Feng said is what you need to beware of, but the real key to everything lies in the increase of your own strength. If you have any ideas, just do it. Here in Yecheng and the lord, Fenghui will contact you through the black demon at any time in order to thwart all conspiracies and schemes."

"Xi understands, thank you, Uncle Tian." Yuan Xi once again gave Tian Feng a junior gift deeply, expressing his deep gratitude in his heart.

Tian Feng smiled gratifiedly, and after gently lifting Yuan Xi up, he said softly, "My lord, go quickly! It seems that something happened in the inner courtyard again."

Yuan Xi nodded and walked outside.
