Competing

Chapter 257
The difference between monarch and minister is inevitable. Although Yin Xu is only in his 20s, he is the king of Yue and the lord of Yue.Any king would like to see his subjects respecting himself, but this kind of awe must be limited.

Yin Xu has always believed that transitional awe will cause too much estrangement, especially now that the Yue Kingdom is in its infancy.A harmonious relationship between the monarch and his ministers will be more beneficial to the development of the Yue Kingdom and the future road to competition.

Yin Xu stepped forward quickly, lifted Gao Yi who was kneeling, and said, "It's been more than two years, thank you for your hard work!" Then he stepped forward to hold Lu Ming and Zhou Da, after all, they were brothers who shared weal and woe back then.Yin Xu's actions brought the distance between them much closer in an instant.Zhou Da clearly felt that Yin Xu did not become superior due to the change of status, but was still so approachable.

But although Zhou Da is reckless, he is not stupid. He knows that Yin Xu's behavior is the king's virtuous corporal, which does not mean that you can really be like before.The intimacy is true, but it still has to be properly measured.

Gao Yi shook his head and said: "It's not hard work, but the king has been fighting with swords and swords all the time. It's really not easy to fight with open spears and dark arrows. I am very happy to see the king's achievements today."

Gao Yi's words are not telling the truth. Thinking back to the construction site of the Chi Road in Kuaiji County, Yin Xu and Pu Jun were just small bosses, but Gao Yi was an official overseeing the work, who was taller than them. many.

I have to admit that Gao Yi is a master who knows the hero with his eyesight. He gave up that little official and willingly followed Yin Xu into the deep mountains to become a bandit.Who would have thought that the man in the weak crown would have such a great achievement?The princes and kings who have gone from unknown to powerful in the world?It can be said that Gao Yi's choice is absolutely unprecedented.

Many years later, Ming Yuan Hou Gaoyi, who was the founding hero of the Yue Kingdom, recalled this past event, always tearing up with excitement.He always thinks of the years when he was at the Chidao construction site with Yue Wang Yinxu, and when he moved to Peng Lize. Many memories made him feel lucky. In the past, he was really lucky and made an extremely wise decision, which made him proud all his life.

Yin Xu patted Gao Yi on the shoulder, walked over to see Lu Ming and Zhou Da, and said, "And you, Shanyin has been thanks to you for the past two years!"

Lu Ming and Zhou Da laughed together and said: "It should be done, the king has given you too much praise!"

Yin Xu took a few steps, looked at many soldiers and officers in the distance, and said loudly: "I will remember your contributions to Shanyin and Yue Kingdom in my heart, and I will definitely repay you in the future."

"Thank you, Great King!" Everyone said in unison, seeing this young Yue King for the first time today had already left a good impression on them.The foundation of a good relationship between the monarch and his ministers and between the monarch and the people has been laid, which will be of great benefit to future development.

The effect was really good. After Yin Xu finished speaking, Gao Yi led dozens of big households in Shanyin City to pay a visit.

"Meet the King of Yue!" Stepping forward to wait on him, dozens of people saluted the King of Yue in unison.

Local powerful and wealthy households can be said to be the later Han and Three Kingdoms, the Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties when the Jiupin Zhongzheng system prevailed, and the infinite scenery as far as the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and even the embryonic form of the aristocratic families who controlled the political situation of the court.

Yin Xu is well aware of the influence of aristocratic families on the history of later generations.Especially at the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, the support of the aristocratic family was indispensable for the party who wanted to be in power.These big clans have a lot of influence in the military and politics, and many nephews are quite influential in some important ministries.

Without their cooperation, it would not be easy to control a city smoothly.Throughout history, it is not difficult to find that the owners of many cities, or those in power in the country, are changing, but the local aristocratic families have been thriving.For thousands of years, the aristocratic families developed from powerful families have been enduring and have become a special force in the development of history.

During the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, the aristocratic families developed unprecedentedly. One of the important reasons why the Cao Wei regime was able to replace the Eastern Han Dynasty, which existed in name only, was the Jiupin Zhongzheng System.Cao Pi followed Chen Qun's suggestion and implemented the Nine Ranks of Righteousness.

Since then, the gentry and the common people have been treated differently for hundreds of years, and the gentry have dominated the way of selecting scholars as officials.After the fall of the Western Jin Dynasty, it was with the support of the aristocratic family that Sima Rui was able to stabilize his footsteps in the south and establish the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Since then, the powerful families can be said to have controlled the political power of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, such as the Wang family, the Xie family and the Huan family.That's why there is the saying in the old days that Wang Xietang Qianyan, Huan Xuan in the Eastern Jin Dynasty also replaced the Jin Emperor to stand on his own.Later Song Qiliang and Chen Nanchao still had something to do with this.

Gao Huan, who started with six towns in the north, established the Northern Qi Dynasty because of the support of the northern gentry.The influence of the Guanlong nobles in the subsequent Sui and Tang dynasties was unprecedentedly great. The reason why Li Yuan was able to establish the Tang Dynasty was impossible without the support of the Guanlong nobles.

Since Wu Zetian's period, he deliberately increased the emphasis on imperial examinations, and deliberately supported common landlords to suppress noble landlords, but the results have been minimal.During the Li Tang and late Tang Dynasties, the five surnames and seven sects had prominent positions, and those who served as Zaifu did not know how many.It wasn't until the late Tang Dynasty that the Huangchao Uprising and the subsequent Zhu Wen Changes dealt a huge blow to the aristocratic families.

Because at least during this period, the influence and role of the big clan is still very obvious, which makes any ruler have to weigh and handle this matter carefully.

Yin Xu knew very well that although he was the King of Yue and had the army in his hands, it was very necessary to establish a good relationship with these big families if he wanted to truly control Shanyin and the Yue Kingdom.These big families have many children, and they have lived in Shanyin City for a long time, so they are deeply rooted and intertwined.These people control many materials and land in Shanyin City, or have important influence in certain industries.

To put it bluntly, these people are the local snakes of Shanyin. Although Yin Xu is not afraid of them, he wants them to be used by me.Otherwise, if these people make troubles and make it difficult for the country to be peaceful, how can we settle down and deal with foreign wars wholeheartedly.It's okay to talk about Minyue and Dongou in the south alone, but it will be difficult to participate in the northward competition in the Central Plains at that time.

Now it is just a small mountain, and the land area of ​​the Yue Kingdom is also considered limited. It is conceivable that the land of the Yue Kingdom will become larger and larger in the process of expansion in the future.There will be more and more such things, and Yin Xu's military talent is quite powerful.The internal affairs are relatively weak. After all, there are differences in many situations separated by thousands of years, and they need to study and understand.Today's Yue Country Shanyin is a good opportunity to practice.

You should be familiar with how to be gentle and win people's hearts. Seeing these big families are very polite now, Yin Xu knows that Gao Yi has a lot of credit for this.He glanced approvingly, expressed his thanks, and then stepped forward to meet the rich gentry in Shanyin City.

These people are different from Gao Yi, Zhou Da and others, although they came together, it does not guarantee that the beauties among them have evil intentions.And most of them came here, I'm afraid it was more of a temptation. After all, the king of Yue arrived for the first time, and these people didn't dare to neglect it. It was inevitable to come to greet him.

As for whether to surrender sincerely?That's not necessarily the case, even Gao Yi, who had dealt with him before, couldn't guarantee it, so Su An didn't dare to take it lightly.Fortunately, a few bodyguards with superb swordsmanship and quick responses followed him, so Su An felt relieved.In addition, Yue Wang Yinxu himself is a master, and it is really not easy for ordinary people to succeed in assassination.Even so, it does not mean that Su An can relax his vigilance, and he must be cautious in his duties.

"Okay, everyone, please stand up!" Yin Xu smiled and asked many big families in the mountains to stand up.

"Thank you King Yue!"

Yin Xu immediately said: "The future prosperity of Shanyin and Yue cannot be separated from you, and I hope that the princes will contribute more."

"We must do our best!"

Listening to these people's unanimous answers, Yin Xu couldn't help but feel amused. He didn't know whether these people had a high degree of tacit understanding, or they had discussed and trained first.

Gao Yi stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, let's go into the city!"

Yin Xu nodded slightly, turned around and said: "Pu Jun, Su Jiao's army is entering the city!"

The [-] army made a loud hacking sound, and followed Yue Wang Yin Xu into the city with the most orderly military appearance and momentum.Seeing the scene in front of him, Gao Yi couldn't help being shocked, Zhou Da leaned over and said, "It seems...the surprise we prepared for the king seems to be nothing more than it is!"

Gao Yi sighed lightly, and said: "Indeed, but the plan is to come as usual, we have done our best, and we will let King Yue see it later!"

The formation of the [-] Yue army entering the city was shocking. The current defenders of Shanyin who came to the city, as well as the many gentry and bureaucrats who came to welcome the King of Yue, were all amazed. fear.

Some of the big households who were a bit rebellious at first and came here with the intention of probing saw this scene, and they all showed serious expressions.I am glad that I am not reckless, otherwise my little guards could be the opponents of Yue Kingdom's elite?In particular, I heard that the king of Yue himself has made great achievements in battle, and he is a general who has killed many people on the battlefield, so he dare not plunder his tiger whiskers easily.The early rafters are broken first, and if you want to be the unlucky ghost of the king of Yue who kills chickens and monkeys, wouldn't it be very uneconomical.These people are old fritters who have been traveling for many years. They are experts in all aspects, and they are all shrewd.

The army guarded the king of Yue and entered the city, and the people of the country of Yue lined up to welcome him. Of course, many of them wanted to see the king of Yue.This time, Su An suffered a lot, and dispatched many smart and capable guards under his command, not daring to relax in the slightest, lest something might go wrong.

The people in Shanyin City couldn't help being surprised when they saw that King Yue was so young.But this made the Yue girls in Shanyin city very excited. The king of Yue is young and promising, handsome and elegant. If this can be favored by the king of Yue, then... If the figures of the concubines of Yue Wang could win the favor of Yue Wang, wouldn't they immediately fly up to the branches and become phoenixes...

The mountains and rivers of the country of Yue are dynamic. It is said that one side of the country nourishes the other side, especially for women.The beautiful mountains and rivers of the country of Yue bring up the Yue girls who are even more moist and agile. The beauty of the Yue girls has always been well-known.Think about Xi Shi, the head of the four beauties, who came from Zhuluo Village in Yue State. At the beginning, Goujian was able to captivate King Fu Chai of Wu with Xi Shi and Zheng Dan, which shows that the beauty of Yue women is true.

Nowadays, many pretty women look at Yue Wang Yin Xu, and unconsciously have dreams that are not realistic.Presumably for some time to come, there will be scenes of beautiful women posing at the gate of the Yue Palace.It can only be said that Yue Wang Yinxu is very lucky this time!

Walking through the streets of Shanyin all the way, being welcomed by the people of Yue Kingdom, Yin Xu felt infinitely honored while riding a horse.After all, as a prince, he controls everything on the vast land. This feeling of satisfaction makes people a little excited.Of course, in addition to this, Yin Xu also felt the great responsibility. Now that these people are all the people under his rule, the responsibility on his shoulders is much heavier.

I have the responsibility and obligation to encircle the security of the Yue country, provide a peaceful living environment for my people, and protect their lives from foreign enemies and wars.At the same time, we should try our best to let the Yue Kingdom develop well, so that they can live and work in peace and contentment.At this moment, Yin Xu has made up his mind that he will do all these things well in the future.

Kuaiji County is in Jiangdong, which belonged to the southern region that had not yet been fully developed at that time.Moreover, the Qin Dynasty implemented the mode of division of Weisuo to Kuaiji County, that is, Yin Tong, the prefect of Kuaiji, was in Wuzhong, and Zhou Kang, the right school captain, led his army to station in Shanyin.

As an important military town, Sanyin's city is not very big, so it didn't take long for it to enter the loyal area of ​​Shanyin City.This is the current Yue Palace. Back then, Qin Shihuang used to go out often, and Qin Ershi Hu Hai also had a hobby.

Because there is Dayu Mountain near Shanyin, and it is also an important garrison, so the Emperor Qin once visited this place, so it is natural to build a palace here.After the anti-Qin uprising broke out, the palace fell into disuse.Gao Yi was responsible for taking care of the big and small matters in Shanyin, and when he learned that Yin Xu had been named King of Yue, he immediately sent people to repair and clean the former palace.This place is about to become the future palace of Yue King, the residence of Yue King Yin Xu.

Although it is the Qin Emperor's palace, it has been idle for a long time after all, and the damage is not small.After the repairs, there are still some flaws in the ointment. Although it is not resplendent and magnificent, it is decent. When seeing the palace, Yin Xu was very satisfied.He is also more satisfied and fond of Gao Yi. He has arranged many things well before he arrives. This kind of subordinate is really satisfying.I was not surprised enough in terms of internal affairs, now that Chen Ping has not arrived, if Gao Yi was not by his side, he would really be in a hurry.

Sometimes Yin Xu often sighs how lucky he is, and Pu Jun and Su Jiao hold heavy soldiers without any disagreement.Bringing the army back to him through untold hardships, and handing over his injury personally, is still that kind of loyalty.Not seeing each other for two years, Gao Yi, Lu Ming, and Zhou Da are here alone, helping themselves to take care of the Shanyin fiefdom.

After entering the city, Yin Xu observed carefully. Everything in Shanyin City seemed to be in order, and the formation and scale to welcome him were not small.Everything is due to the three of Gao Yi and the others, if they hadn't come here to take care of it in advance, I don't know how Shanyin would be today.What will you face when you come here?Now at least you don't need to spend too much time cleaning up the mess, you can directly and quickly get to the point and do big things.The gratitude in my heart has increased, and some people have added a strong stroke to the credit book.

But the credit is more than just a little bit?Thinking that Gao Yi and the other three still have a big surprise waiting for him, when the time comes, Yin Xu's excitement will not know how high it will be?

Arriving at the foot of the royal palace, looking at the majestic palace, Yin Xu nodded lightly, everything is in order.Although I don't really care about it, but having a royal palace is so much more grand, everything looks formal and smooth, and everything I have done can go smoothly, after all, everything must have a certain appearance.

Before entering the palace, Gao Yi came on his horse, approached Yin Xu and said, "Your Majesty, if you are not in a hurry to rest, can you go to the school yard in the west of the city first?"

Uh?Which song is this sung?Could it be that Gao Yi has already arranged the residence of the army in advance?
Seeing this, Zhou Da stepped forward with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, let's go, I guarantee you won't regret it, maybe there will be surprises?"

The school ground is a military place, Yin Xu had a thought, although he didn't care about the medicine sold in the gourds of Gao Yi and Zhou Da, he was willing to go and find out.So he said: "Okay, then go and have a look and see what surprises you guys have? If not, the widow will try to ask you?"

Yin Xu smiled and pointed at Zhou Da to make fun of him. Zhou Da suddenly felt the kindness from before, he laughed and said: "Okay, if you disappoint the king, the general will be punished himself!"

Yin Xu smiled lightly, turned the horse's head, and walked towards the west city, wanting to see what surprise Gao Yi and Zhou Da were talking about.

After arriving at the Xicheng school grounds, Gao Yi led Yin Xu and the others to wait on a high platform, but Zhou Da and Lu Ming were nowhere to be seen.Pu Jun and Su Jiao were still looking at each other, and when they were curious, the drums had already sounded.

Immediately, they remembered the shocking shouts of killing, and everyone couldn't help being startled. Su An was just as shocked, as if the long sword had been unsheathed.The bodyguards who followed were even more focused.Gao Yi said with a smile: "Bozhou don't need to be nervous, let's see and talk."

Su An glanced at Yin Xu's calm and composed demeanor, and put his sword back into its sheath, only to see a large number of soldiers running under the high platform, gathering quickly.The two troops came on horseback and commanded the crowd to line up. They saw that it was Lu Ming and Zhou Da.

Gao Yi turned around and said, "Your Majesty, this is the surprise that I have given you. When I was ordered to come to Shanyin, I knew that your future development, Your Majesty, would require the support of the army. So he secretly recruited soldiers, and now there are 5000 troops. [-] people. Lu Ming and Zhou Da are in charge of the training, and now they have achieved a small amount. Today, the king is specially invited to inspect and take over!"

Yin Xu looked at Gao Yi, then at the numerous soldiers under the high platform, his eyes flickered, revealing many surprises.

If it was as Zhou Da said, what a surprise!
