Your Majesty the Empress, I am really not a traitor!

He said in that old-fashioned tone, that tone seemed to be teaching a junior.

Consultant Cheng raised his head. He thought of the officials and elders he had known.

They said at the banquet, Advisor Cheng, what you young people have done is over; Advisor Cheng, what you have done is too unreasonable; Advisor Cheng, you are making enemies for yourself; Advisor Cheng, in the officialdom, you just need to pay more attention. Friends, instead of blocking your own way.

"Consultant Cheng, you young man, you are too good at doing things."

When they say these things, they always emphasize that they are experienced people.

They seem to be not emphasizing their own experience, but emphasizing that this pathetic and pathetic environment, which has always been rotten and disgusting, should be "gladly accepted" by young people.In their eyes, they are "experienced people", so those young people, young people with new ideas, should follow the rules of their world and accept the filth of their world.

The funniest joke ever.The most ridiculous thing is that when the emperor wants to change to a slightly better official environment, they will even stubbornly guard their dirty world, trying to get the emperor and those who want to leave this environment The young man pulled back again——

It's not because such filth really has any future, it's just because only when young people believe in their way can they prove that their way of deceiving themselves and others is the absolute "truth".

Therefore, the old general faction was desperate and even prepared to launch a mutiny rather than let new officers enter the army on a large scale. The aristocratic families desperately tried to maintain their influence in the court. To deny Xia Yuxiao's rule.

They will say to young people in a vicissitudes of life: You bunch of stunned youths don't understand the world and the world at all.

This is them.

"Mr. Lu, or Lu Qishan. I got to know you before that. You entered the officialdom through the literary examination. I have read your article. I remember it should be called "Ai Nong Shu". The consultant Cheng walked in front of him and said in a leisurely manner, "In the article, I saw you when you were young, which is not like this."

"Think about it, Governor Lu, think about it, what kind of mood did you have in Wen Kao when you wrote that letter of mourning that you might even commit a capital crime? Why would you rather give up this opportunity to make a fortune?" , to pay homage to the first emperor to pay homage to Nongshu?"

"Now you, why are you like this again?"

Advisor Cheng asked him the last question, and then stopped talking to him: "Send Master Lu back, the result should come out soon, even if you don't tell Master Lu, we already know what we should know , so, I suggest you not to hide it, it is not good for you."

After speaking, he sat back to his original position, and then tasted the simple meal in front of him.

Simple, but very solid to eat.

Governor Lu did not admit his behavior until the end, but it didn't matter whether he admitted it or not, because the investigation should be done, and the consultant Cheng had almost done the investigation. The soldiers who came back also got the evidence, and the granary It has been sealed and no outsiders are allowed to enter. All that remains is to report the situation to the imperial court.

As for the businessmen and officials who partnered with Lu County Sheriff, Advisor Cheng did not intend to let them go. Not many officials in the county government are completely clean, and they all need to be punished to a certain extent.These punishments will be left to the imperial court to decide. The consultant Cheng did a thorough investigation, but this does not mean that he will make punishments casually. He still has to rely on Daxia's laws to act.

Lu's house has also been raided, and the amount of property inside can only be said to have not exceeded the rough estimate of consultant Cheng.As a county guard, after working on these years, he has indeed dug up a considerable amount of money. If he is allowed to dig in this position or even a higher position like this, he does not know that he will eventually get money from the people of Daxia. How much money was poached in the hand.

The rest is to start checking and reorganizing the accounts of the granary and the treasury. After reconciling the accounts with the previous master account, it is necessary to determine which are the fake accounts made under the instruction of the sheriff and which are the real accounts. , and reconciled with the actual quantity, and revised the accounts as much as possible.

In short, when the consultant Cheng dealt with this matter, he hardly had a good rest.

.......................

After receiving the letters from his soldiers, Qin Ji nodded in satisfaction.

Consultant Cheng is still very neat in doing things, and he will not easily feel any compassion, so he will do it as soon as he says it, which is good.But what happened next was beyond his control.

The disposition of Junshou Lu will be dealt with by the Tingwei Mansion. Although the Tingwei Mansion may take a little care of Lu Junshou, an official who has been working for many years, there will not be much difference.

And now, Qin Ji is dealing with the problem of Daxi Kingdom.

Since the previous cooperation with Atlantis to deal with Samanjiang, Atlantis has tasted the sweetness and consolidated the relationship between the two countries. Although there have been some differences between the two sides during the cooperation period, overall, the cooperation between the two parties is still It went well.

Therefore, Daxi Kingdom sent people over this time, hoping to establish a closer relationship with Daxia.

And now, in front of him, Xia Yuxiao is telling him the bottom line in her heart:

"Qin Ji, let me reiterate that our Daxia must stick to one bottom line, that is, to ensure the stability of neighboring countries. No matter what kind of cooperation Daxi wants to do with us, once it involves destabilizing our surroundings, or It may affect the choice of Onishi’s internal political turmoil, so we all need to think about it before giving each other an answer.”

Don't ask the friendly army to give more strength, just ask the friendly army not to disturb the situation, this is what Xia Yuxiao needs now.

Chapter 2 Unusual transfers

The northern border, Hanyin City.

Since the previous battle, Hanyin City has now been directly taken over and garrisoned by the imperial army, and the entire Hanyin City is no longer a relatively independent city.

And King Dingbei was also protected along with Hanyin City, and lived a peaceful life.

Originally, he used to live quite comfortably, but later because he made great contributions in the war in Hanyin City and provided sufficient logistical support for the troops going to the north, he was rewarded by Xia Yuxiao, and his life was quite good. I am happy, I just fish every day, and then I have a hot bed with my family, wife and children.

But soon, Da Xia's dispatch made his happy little days become a little more frightening.

Although he doesn't have much real power, he still holds the leadership of several cities in the north. The reason why these cities can be managed by him is because Xia Yuxiao still trusts his old brother.

In fact, King Dingbei did not live up to this trust. During his management of these cities, the order of these cities was very good, the treasury was sufficient, and the city defenses were also strong.

But he gradually discovered that more and more foreigners were pouring into the city.

If these people were all from Daxia, he still thought this was a normal population migration, but the key point was that many of the people who came were from Saar.

This made him restless.

On the other side of Hanyin City, the number of troops has also gradually increased. Since the end of the battle in the west, the number of troops here has continued to increase. With such a mobilization, it is difficult for people to feel that there is nothing wrong here.

In order to ensure everything was safe, King Dingbei sent someone to pass a booklet to Xia Yuxiao to inquire about the specific situation.

Xia Yuxiao didn't answer what exactly the court was doing, she just said that everything should go on as usual on King Dingbei's side, and those Saar people who could be received in the city could continue to send them south.

He didn't say anything, but in King Dingbei's view, this was basically acknowledging that the imperial court had indeed made major adjustments to the strategy in the north.He didn't intend to get to the bottom of it either, he knew that the court had done this, and Xia Yuxiao's authorization was enough.

"Your Highness, since the situation here is not very stable, is it more appropriate for you to live in the former mansion south?"

A follower beside him asked.

"No, I can't move now. If my side moves, the whole northern border will be in chaos."

King Dingbei resolutely rejected this suggestion.

Xia Yuxiao had a purpose in arranging him to come to the northern border. The northern border is an important place for border defense. No matter how the defense of the north is, and whose troops are transferred, there must be a royal prince to sit in charge. Always perform part of the emperor's duties.If he ran away at this time, let's not talk about the chaos in the hearts of the people and officials in the north. I am afraid that my sister will not easily forgive me.

Besides, it's not really messy yet.

If it was really chaotic, the Taiwei people would have moved to the north long ago, or at least they would have to be ready to dispatch at the central time.But now, Qin Ji is going to Jiangning County. It doesn't look like there will be a large-scale war. It is probably to stabilize the military pressure on the border.

............................

On the court hall of the Thrall Kingdom, the chaos has become a mess.

Wuheya had just returned to the royal family, and her elder brother Ban Ge personally greeted her, rewarded her with a lot of money, and set up a banquet to welcome her.

Originally, Wuheya thought it was just the tranquility before the storm. After all, whether it was a reward, a welcome, or even a banquet, her father did not show up in person. There is no doubt that it is an act of not taking oneself seriously at all.

However, the royal court was in chaos before she waited for the exclusion of her fellow clansmen who came to the royal court.

First, all the tribes in the southwest rejected the olive branch of tribal union offered by the Saar Dynasty, and then, at the southern border and Kara Shige, a large number of Great Xia troops were mobilized and assembled.

Brother Ban had expected that Daxia would mobilize the army to put pressure on him because of his contemptuous actions.He also thought about countermeasures.But at this moment, when Daxia really mobilized the army, increased sentry posts can be seen everywhere on the border between the two countries, and after the surrounding tribes began to show their loyalty to Daxia, Ban Ge really realized that Daxia's influence really surpassed him. imagination.

In fact, if it weren't for the previous war, the surrounding tribes might still be on the side of the Thrall Dynasty.

However, through the small-scale northern war in Daxia, coupled with the hard-nosed church in the west and the war against Samanjan in a medium-sized country, those tribes realized that this country has always maintained the ability to attack foreign countries at any time. Destroy the combat power of a country.

Moreover, many of Daxia's troops are at the border.Being a vassal state of Great Xia is beneficial and has business. After weighing it in this way, as long as the tribe with a normal IQ knows who they should stand on.

The tribes stood happily in line, but the Saar Dynasty was numb.

"My lord, since Daxia is putting pressure on our borders, we can only use the same means to fight back. Our army is certainly not as large as Daxia's army, but we can give up some natural dangerous areas and pour all our money into the border areas where the two sides can have close contact. The main force. In addition, we can send more Chinese men. You don’t need to actually join the army. You can wander around the border with weapons, and you can also increase your momentum. Moreover, at critical moments, if the enemy really breaks in, we can also temporarily let these people assist us military."

In this regard, a veteran put forward his own ideas.

After hearing this idea, many elders agreed with it. Anyway, now that those people in the south have shown their knives, they naturally cannot be defeated in terms of momentum.

"Your Majesty, I have temporarily stayed in Daxia for a while, may I have a word?"

Wuheya shook her head helplessly, then asked.

"Let's talk." Brother Ban nodded to allow her to speak.

"It's no problem to give up the natural dangerous areas and inject the main force in the areas where the two sides can contact on a large scale," she looked at the old guys around, and then continued, "However, sending more Chinese men to patrol later is really superfluous .”

"Is it superfluous?"

"In other words, it's superfluous." Wuheya was tired of having to explain Daxia's vocabulary incidentally, "Elders, what Daxia implemented was military deterrence, in order to impress the people of our country. Show its military background with the soldiers. If our country wants to fight against it, it must also come up with an army of the corresponding level."

"Let our country's men patrol with weapons, what is this? It makes half of the border troops regular and half chaotic, and their momentum is a head shorter than others. Not only will it not have the effect of deterring the enemy, but it will make the border people look at our army. lost even more confidence."

To be honest, Wuheya's main task when she came back was to find a way to seize power. In theory, she didn't need to start to become famous immediately after she came back.

But you can't stand the brains of these old bastards on your side.

The border between the two countries is confronted, and they put out an armed force with strict military discipline to exert pressure. The guards and civilians at the border where the team goes to the border have already begun to think about how to block the attack. What about your side?In order to make up the number, a bunch of stragglers with no armor were stuffed in?

You are afraid that the enemy will not know that our country has no people, right?

Chapter 3 new job

Brother Ban frowned, thinking about his sister's suggestion.

What she said is indeed correct. In the current situation, forcing some ordinary strongmen from the Thrall Dynasty did not have much effect in the past, but now it is impossible for her to do nothing at all. Once the deterrence is strengthened, it is a question of whether the situation can be stabilized internally.

"Then according to your idea, how to deal with it is the best?"

"This..." Wuheya looked around and smiled wryly, "I'm just a girl, and my king's will is my idea."

"You are my younger sister, we are all father's children," Ban Ge said with a smile, "In this way, there is no difference between us, just say it boldly."

"Okay," since the other party had already said so, Wuheya followed suit, "My suggestion is that it is okay to send troops, or to recruit strong men, but the current soldiers should be transferred to important places instead of Scatter. At the same time, there is no need for those strong men to appear on the bright side, but to let them receive basic training in the rear to form a future combat force."

"Major mobilization and deterrence are carried out in areas where the enemy is easy to invade. The defense of other areas can be weakened or even cancelled. According to my observations during this period of time in Daxia, although Daxia's troops are strong, most of them are extremely dependent on logistics. Supply, they don't move fast like our Thrall army on horseback with dry provisions."

"Therefore, in the mountains, forests, hills and valleys, the troops can be appropriately reduced, because in these places, it is often difficult for Daxia to organize a large-scale offensive force. Even if an attack is really launched, we still have enough time to react."

Wuheya spoke clearly and clearly.After this analysis, the surrounding elders began to discuss the feasibility of this plan.

"Well, this plan seems more feasible. By the way, Wuheya, now you are the minister between the two countries. If so, can you talk to Daxia?"

"of course can."

"Then, we can take a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, we can exert pressure on the border, and on the other hand, let Her Royal Highness communicate with Daxia, and try to buy enough time..." an elder stood up and said, " Anyway, now that Her Highness the Princess has returned to the territory of our Thrall Dynasty, even if Daxia finds out that she has been tricked, it will not have much impact on Her Highness the Princess."

Then when it really collapses, you can sell me directly, right?

Wuheya murmured in her heart, but she didn't express the slightest dissatisfaction: "Of course, but considering that the main high-level officials in Daxia are not very talkative, my suggestion is that at least the troops should be mobilized first, and then Negotiate with them, in this way, it can also add some leverage to future negotiations."

"Okay, let's do as you said about this matter," Ban Ge decided, "Sister, I remember that when you came out, you brought a map of the Daxia border with you, right?"

"Exactly."

Wuheya gave an affirmative answer.This map of the border area involves the main garrison map on the border in Daxia.In fact, it is not a confidential document within Daxia. After all, Daxia's garrison at the border can also be seen by the Saar people next door, which is tantamount to a half-clear card.

But Wuheya still brought out this picture.The reason is very simple, with this picture in hand, it is equivalent to confirming the design of Daxia's defense, even if Daxia's defense is adjusted now, it will basically remain the same.
