Country and Beauty

Zhuge Mingyue was very clear on the reason why Qigong had come looking for him. It was more accurate to say that the people of Brazil (not the Brazilian Nation, but the Brazilian County in the Sichuan Basin) had come looking for him. Although Xie Ji was still young, she had no choice but to plan for her future. On the surface, Zhuge Mingyue was the noble empress, and according to the principle of being the first one to inherit the position of Qin State. Zhuge Mingyue knew that there was a bit of power behind her limitless glory. Although Yang Susu only had a daughter, who was the Grand Princess of the Qin State, her status was not critical right now.

However, the Yang family controlled a large amount of wealth, controlling at least a third of the monopoly industry in the Qin State. Glass, Xuan paper, printing factories, perfumed soap, these were all windfall businesses. As long as they could control the wealth, they could buy court officials in time, and also gain the authority to speak up in the court. Although Shui Ruyan was born into a despicable family, she would definitely have many loyal family members serving in the navy. Right now, the navy accounted for 30% of the military expenditure. Yang Susu had the money, Shui Ruyan had the military power, but she had nothing. In history, the incident of the crippled crown prince had occurred quite a few times.

Like this, Zhuge Mingyue felt an enormous pressure.

Everything was for Xie Ji's future.

Right now, Xie Fei only had one son, so of course Xie Ji didn't need to worry. However, the war had already ended, and Xie Fei no longer had to run around. The Rebirth Martial Emperor had twenty-five sons, and this caused chaos among the eight kings. In the end, the huge empire collapsed. The fact that he did not appear did not mean that he did not exist. Zhuge Mingyue did not dare to have any trace of carelessness.

The Zhuge Family was not the Stable Young's. They were born into a business, so they could engage in commercial activities. However, the Zhuge family could not engage in this kind of lowly business. Speaking of kindness, the Zhuge Family had zero talent in recent years, so there was no one who could help. This also made Zhuge Mingyue a little troubled. She had meddled with the army, and without even thinking, the army was Xie Fei's life and soul, whoever touched the army would die. It might even bring about a calamity to the Zhuge Family.

However, Zhuge Qiu was Zhuge Jing's grandson. Due to Zhuge Liang's death, Zhuge Qiu was the only member of Zhuge Liang's line. However, Zhuge Qiu only had one son and one daughter, Qingfeng Mingyue. Although Zhuge Xu's surname was Zhuge, he was not from the room, but was Zhuge Qiao's younger brother. According to his seniority, he was Zhuge Mingyue's elder brother, but in reality, he had already submitted five times. Zhuge Qingfeng was only thirteen years old then, with an average aptitude.

However, while Qian was Zhuge Qingyun's foster son, Zhuge Mingyue and Zhuge Qingyun were from the same generation. However, Zhuge Qiu talked for more than two hours, although he did not explicitly mention that he wanted to borrow Zhuge Mingyue's power to become an official, his every sentence carried that meaning. Zhuge Qiu had lived for over half a hundred years. Although he had never been to the imperial court, he was not someone this brat could fool.

Whenever Zhuge Qiuyi brought up a crucial moment, he would purposely change the topic, making him have the urge to smash his head against a wall. In the end, all of Keqian's patience had been grinded away by Zhuge Qiu, so he could only leave in anger.

Zhuge Qingfeng could not help but ask: "Why does Father not help him? After all, they are members of our Zhuge family, furthermore, once they become an official, they can create a huge power in the imperial court to take care of sister!"

"Ha ha!" However, Zhuge Qiu smiled slightly and said, "Although the empress seems to have limitless glory, does my son know how dangerous it is?"

"What danger can big sister be? The emperor dotes on her …"

Halfway through his words, Zhuge Qingfeng suddenly felt a chill. He seemed to understand the real purpose of his father's actions. Zhuge Family had once been the most important official in the Han Dynasty. He would not hesitate to ask the Prime Minister. Although Zhuge Liang did not express his disrespect, he not only got a title, but he was also a powerful official. The Han Dynasty of Shu did not know Liu Ah Dou, but everyone knew the Prime Minister.

was not Liu Ah Dou, so no one could threaten his position. Although Wang Meng held sole authority in the Qin State, he only had the power to remove him. He could remove the officials and officials, but the appointment had to come from the Qin State Academy, which meant that Wang Meng did not have the chance to train his own power. Don't look down on his power for a while, as long as Xie Fei ignored his attitude, he was nothing.

The harem must not interfere with political affairs. Zhuge was in the limelight. If one was not careful, someone would attack. This was the Emperor's Heart Technique.

Xie Fei seemed to not care about anything, but in reality, everything was within his grasp. The Yang family controlled a large portion of the Qin State's wealth, Xie Fei encouraged business, but never raised the position of a merchant.

Zhuge Qingfeng was a child of a Venerable family, and was influenced by these since he was young. Naturally, he would not allow this to happen.

The Yang family could live a rich life, but they couldn't participate in the imperial court. The Zhuge family's name resounded throughout the world, and they also couldn't participate in the imperial court. Once Xie Fei learned that, disaster would befall him.

Zhuge Qiu said, "The Yang family gave the greatest amount of financial support to the Emperor before he started the army. They also gave weapons, armors, money and food to the dragon. What about us, the Zhuge family? In terms of contribution, she is definitely not as much as the Yang family. But, Yang Fei has already become an imperial concubine, and we are the last? "Why?"

"Born."

"That's right, we are of noble birth. That is only one aspect of it!" Zhuge Qiu continued, "On the other hand, our Zhuge Family has no foundation. The Yang family was a tyrant of the northwest, and the soldiers and horses that the Emperor used to fight were all generals of the Yang family, and these people were the ones who created the Qin State. At the same time, the Emperor is also afraid of the Yang family. If they can lift up one Emperor, can't they do the same to the other? "

Zhuge Qingfeng's mouth was wide agape, he was stunned on the spot.

Zhuge Qiu said, "The metallurgical workshop that the Yang family controlled has all been taken away by the emperor. This also includes the intention of controlling the Yang family. Not being behind Yang Fei was to prevent the Yang family from continuing to sit in power. Now, Qimu Xi and his men had brought tens of thousands of men to seek refuge. For a family that could pull up tens of thousands of troops in an instant, would the Emperor allow him to continue growing up? "

Zhuge Qingfeng asked in puzzlement: "Didn't Ke Qian only bring five thousand people?"

"You look down upon Zhuge Qingyun too much. He has tens of thousands of properties in Brazil, hundreds of thousands of tenants. "Do you remember what Shalom said when he first came here?"

"Yes."

"We, the Zhuge family, don't need to do anything. As long as we tightly rely on the Emperor, we will be able to enjoy a lifetime of wealth and prosperity. "Make more mistakes."

In the middle of summer, the sun shone fiercely. Right now, Chang An had long since been swept clean. Aside from the city walls and the ground outside the city, there were only dark red spots left, indicating that an intense battle had occurred here. A group of Qin soldiers that were fully dressed in swords and spears were patrolling the Chang'an City.

Everything seemed quiet here. Xie Fei had already woken up, but he issued an edict: "Three days in the imperial court, grieve for the soldiers and citizens of Chang An!"

The battle of Chang'an had killed more than 70,000 Qin Army, looted 43 counties, and killed more than 140,000 people.

The Minister of Rites, Pei Xian, had written, "Sacred Cloud: Repay with virtue! The heavens are kind, your majesty is merciful, you should pardon the clan leader Pu Hong, the gentle begging of the beans, and the other thirteen lords in order to show the magnanimity of the Great Qin! "

Xie Fei replied: "The tigers of the prairie are as fierce as wolves, they have destroyed our city, massacred our people, and they view the lives of our people as grass. We are merciful, we only care about the head, anyone above the head of the enemy can be killed, regardless of anything else!"

With a single order from Xie Fei, all the officers in the alliance, from the thousand-man commander position to above, were beheaded. More than three thousand people had been cut down outside the gate for a long time.

The citizens all applauded this kill. However, Xie Fei gained another nickname: "Xie Yan Wang!"

The next morning at court, Supervising Censor Shaman wrote to impeach General He Liusheng for being domineering, bloodthirsty and bloodthirsty, and to kill more than eight thousand prisoners.

Xie Fei knew about this matter. Ever since the allied army was defeated, there were a total of 117,000 captives in the entire allied army. These captives were beaten into slaves and were responsible for the renovation of the Eight Waters Embankment and the surrounding towns in Chang An City. Over seventeen thousand of them were in charge of strengthening the Embankment. He Liuseng had made a rule for prisoners: one man to escape, one squad to kill, one squad to flee, one battalion to kill. As a result, there were hundreds of captives in the Left Battalion who refused to flee. As a result, they were exterminated by He Liusheng and his army. Over eight thousand people had been killed in one breath. This was also a great deterrence to the unwilling captives.

He heard Yang Man's impeachment. Xie Fei flew into a rage and reprimanded him harshly, "If anyone is worried, it won't work. General Kishore had been ordered to repair the embankment, and how could the captives be forgiven for not abiding by the law? We are on the same side as General He and his officials. We know each other and believe that those who slander us further will be severely punished! "

Yang Man stubbornly said, "General He's massacre of prisoners is not in line with my heavenly character. He has the status of a gang that lacks etiquette!"

Xie Fei said: "There are no limits to the rules, captives do not follow the rules, if killed, they should be killed. What are these people? They killed our people, burned our homes, and even ate our people. There was no need to be polite to these animals. Although I have never shown mercy when killing people. But all the people killed had a purpose. If these beasts are not killed, the people will not agree. This revenge and taking away the hearts of the people is a necessary means. "

Yang Man did not dare to say anything more when Xie Fei raised the level of the people's hearts. Everyone knew that Xie Fei was someone who would not take advantage of others. As long as you decide something, don't expect him to change it.

Xie Fei ordered the coachman to deliver the decree and at the same time, announced to the world, "This time, the various tribes of the prairie have invaded the Qin State, their troops have encircled the, and more than seventy thousand soldiers have been killed. Eight hundred miles of Qin Creek, millions of acres of fertile land had been destroyed without leaving a single grain behind. [I don't know anything about this, but there is nothing to regret!] All sorts of things have happened to me, and I shall remain in seclusion within Tai Chi Palace for thirty days! "

The meaning of "hidden foot" was the meaning of "restricted foot", upon hearing Xie Fei's words, the officials were all shocked. They all understood that Xie Fei's crime had been proven. The Emperor was an untouchable existence, and he could not afford to make a mistake. This matter should be shouldered by Prime Minister Wang Meng, now that Xie Fei had issued the edict in place of what Wang Meng had done, Wang Meng was grateful for his kindness. Wang Meng bowed his head as he sobbed, "Your Majesty has done well. This subject shall do as he pleases. I ask that Your Majesty retract your sincere orders!"

"Your Majesty, please take back your sincerity!" Xie Fei's sudden order of sin left the officials helpless, causing them to be greatly shocked and fell to their knees.

Xie Fei said: "A human is not a saint, who can? If it weren't for the fact that I had decided to go south, I wouldn't have let the tigers of the prairie take advantage of me. In addition, I hereby declare that all 43 cities in the world that have suffered from the calamities shall be exempt from taxes for five years. After the great chaos, we shall rest and restore peace. "Esteemed officials, don't disappoint us!"

Wang Meng then stood up and said, "Receiving the imperial guards's secret report, this time, the Plains' Hu invade the Qin State, Taiyuan Xie Family, Western River Zhong Family, River Qu Fan Family, Yanzhou Zheng Family, Lu Yang Lu Family will give the allied forces four hundred thousand yuan of fodder, close to a hundred thousand sets of knives, spears, and armor, and over four hundred pieces of catapult."

Xie Fei said: "We asked them to provide food for the citizens, but they refused. They claimed that they have no food. I believe it, yet they betrayed their ancestors. This is an irredeemable sin! Pass on my word. Thank you, Zhong, Fan, Zheng, Lu Wu surnamed traitor. To exterminate the entire family, to exterminate the nine families. "The family's wealth will be confiscated."

Xie Kun said, "Your Majesty, you absolutely cannot? The five families were all hereditary valve s, each clan had more than a thousand people, adding the fact that there were more than two thousand people from the branch family, if they wanted to kill the entire nine clans, they would need more than ten thousand people to do so. I'm afraid that would cause a commotion. "

Xie Fei replied: "Such a traitor, not killing is not enough for the law, not killing is not enough to pacify the people. Since they were willing to follow and betray their ancestors, they had to bear the consequences. In troubled times, severe punishment will be meted out. The Five Great Clans shall be used as a model to deter the Wealthy Classes! "

"Your majesty, there is a law that does not punish the people, please enlighten your majesty."

Lu Li's wife is the first daughter of the Zhong family. If this happens, Lu will also face a situation where his wife is separated from his family.

Xie Kun did not think much about Xie Kun pleading for mercy, but now that Lu Jiuchen had pleaded for mercy, Xie Fei had finally calmed down. The hereditary valve s were closely related, and the relationship between them was even more complicated. Not only that, most of the officials in the imperial court were related by marriage to some of the other five races.

Xie Fei reprimanded angrily: "Is it because they have so many people that they can challenge our authority? Is the title of Demon King for nothing? "

Xun Chuo and Pei Xian looked at each other, it seemed that the emperor was really angry. Although Xie Fei had always suppressed his clan, his methods were not that fierce. Fortunately, the Chang'an City did not destroy it, otherwise blood would have flowed like a river and Chang An would have been reduced to ruins. They wanted to protect their families, but they couldn't.

Xie Fei was also not an unreasonable person, even killing nine families did not change, but the court officials who were directly connected to the five families, like Lu Jia's wife, had already taken the measure of amnesty. Xie Fei released nineteen pieces of Alchemy Book iron scrolls, each one allowing three people to be spared.

After this event, Xie Fei decided to increase his suppressing of the hereditary valve, or else there would be endless trouble in the future.
