Eastern Jin Dynasty: My powerful father

Chapter 381 Planning a personal expedition
Of course, Murong Jun wanted to make changes, but he didn't want to leave Murong Ke behind.

Murong Jun's personal expedition was more to boost the morale of the frontline soldiers. He would still rely on Murong Ke's intelligence and obey his words.

"King Shangyong (Murong Ping) and Yang Situ (Yang Qian), when I personally conquer Hedong, all major military and political matters in the country will be entrusted to your two beloved ministers. You two must work together to govern the government and not cause chaos in the country. ”

Murong Jun warned.

Needless to say, Yang Qian served as an official for three generations of monarchs: Murong Xin, Murong Huang, and Murong Jun. Although he was not from Xianbei, his ancestor was Ji Fan, the youngest son of King Ji Gui of Zhou Jing Dynasty. Because Ji Fan was sealed in Yangyi, he was also called Yangfan. , so later generations took Yang as their surname.

But there is no doubt that Yang Zhuang is an important senior official of the Yan Kingdom and is closely related to the Murong family.

As for Murong Ping, the king of Shangyong, he is the son of Murong Xian, the younger brother of Murong Huang, and the uncle of Murong Jun, Murong Ke and others.

Murong Ping was indeed brave and good at fighting. In his early years, he played an important role in the rise of the Murong family. Because of his qualifications, he was also respected by Murong Jun.

But this person has a shortcoming, that is, he is greedy for money and short-sighted.

In the original time and space, there was a great battle between Qin and Yan. Murong Ping, as the general of the Yan army, did not think about how to defend himself against the enemy, but occupied the mountain spring and sold spring water to the army officers. One piece of silk could be exchanged for two stones of water. The soldiers were thirsty, so they had to Buy mountain springs from him.

Murong Jun nodded, but suddenly a sad look appeared on his face:
"I only regret that God is in a hurry to take Ye'er away from me. Otherwise, with the prince supervising the country and supported by two beloved ministers, I would not have anything to worry about."

At that time, Wang Jian was ordered to lead an army to attack Chu. Before leaving, he had to ask Qin Shihuang for land and housing to show that he was short-sighted and had no intention of coveting the throne.

What Murong Jun missed was Murong Ye, the crown prince who died of illness last year. As for the newly established prince, the second son Murong Wei, he was eight years old at the time. Even though he was very intelligent, he was too young to be the supervisor of the country. heavy responsibility.

"That's it, everyone, please step aside."

Murong Jun waved his hands tiredly. He didn't want others to see his weak side, but the longing for his eldest son really made him unable to control himself.

Everyone resigned one after another as they were granted amnesty.

When Murong Jun mentioned his deceased eldest son, tears flowed down uncontrollably.

It’s no wonder that Wang Meng, the commander-in-chief of the Qin Army at the time, ridiculed him after hearing the news: Murong Pingzhen is a slave. Even though there are tens of millions of people, there is nothing to fear. What’s more, there are only two or three hundred thousand. I will definitely defeat the enemy this time. .

In the end, it was with Murong Ping's assistance that Wang Meng destroyed Qian Yan, who occupied the rich land of Guandong, in one fell swoop.

"I will work hard to repay His Majesty's trust."

Although Fang Xuanling gave a mediocre comment to Prince Murong Wei of the Yan Kingdom in "Book of Jin", in fact, Murong Wei still showed his smart side when he was young, but in the end he became a child. One of the great examples of how big is not always better.

Murong Ping and Yang Qian responded, and Murong Ping said loudly:

Now Murong Ping is also focused on making money, which is enough to reassure Murong Jun that his uncle and Yang Qian will be left behind together.

However, in Murong Jun's eyes, Murong Ping was greedy for money, which was the key to his trust in him.

After all, no matter how big-hearted you are, you cannot leave national affairs to a child to make decisions.

Everyone didn't know how to comfort him, they all stood there helpless.

Yang Qian also followed suit.

Murong Jun was the only one in the huge Xianyang Hall, and even the attendants were expelled by him.

Murong Jun took out Murong Ye's relics from his arms and thought about humanity when he saw them:
"Ye'er, if you were still alive, why would you be so anxious as a father?"

Murong Jun was thirty-nine years old at the time. Because he had been injured during his early years leading the army in battles, his health had always been poor and he looked much older than his actual age. No one knows his body better than him, and no one has a greater sense of urgency than Murong Jun.

He didn't want to leave a mess for Murong Wei.

After all, the accession of a young ruler to the throne often means that an enterprising dynasty becomes conservative.

This is because, in order to stabilize the position of the young master, the emperor often does not concentrate power in the hands of a subordinate minister when he is dying, in order to prevent the other party from deposing the throne and occupying the magpie's nest.

However, if multiple auxiliary ministers are arranged, they are destined to fall into internal fighting, because few people can resist the temptation to kill the other auxiliary ministers and take over the power alone.

Internal disunity leads to a struggle for power and profit, leaving no energy for outward expansion.

It was Murong Jun's urgency that two years later in the original time and space, he decided to leave only one person per household and recruit 1.5 million troops to attack the former Qin Dynasty, regardless of the damage to agricultural production. To the extreme.

Even if the minister tried to persuade him, he just changed it to five dings and three draws, hoping to complete the victory in one battle.

Due to the influence of the butterfly effect, even as a time traveler, Huan Xi is actually unable to make an accurate prediction of the direction of the situation without a large amount of intelligence support.

After all, in this time and space, the current situation has changed beyond recognition. The Fu family and the Murong family, who were supposed to be competing for supremacy in the north, now face the power of the Huan family and continue to maintain a joint trend, and Huan Wen is also taking steps towards the throne step by step. A firm and powerful step.

As for Huan Xi himself, he was preparing for the second three-party war that was about to break out in Hedong County.

Hetao area, Houtao Plain.

Tuoba Yan wore mourning clothes and finally got on the carriage going south.

For Tuoba Yan, her life experience is not up to her. From beginning to end, she has only two destinies.

Or, before her dead husband's body is still cold, she can marry a concubine and continue to be her Princess Zuoxian.

Or go to Chang'an, become a gift to Huan Xi, and be his side chamber.

Unfortunately, Tuoba Yan has no choice.

In fact, Liu Xiwuqi did not do the same. In the face of absolute power, even as the next Xiongnu Zuoxian King, he was no different from an ant.

Tuoba Yan was not resentful in her heart. In fact, if she had been given the choice, Tuoba Yan might still have gotten on the carriage heading to Chang'an.

I would rather be a heroic concubine than a mediocre wife.

What's more, a woman looks after someone who pleases her.

Although Huan Xi never said it explicitly, Tuoba Yan could clearly feel his love for her, otherwise Huan Xi would not have gone to all the trouble to do so many things.

In fact, this incident caused a lot of controversy for Huan Xi, but he has already messed up on matters between men and women and no longer pays attention to this aspect of public opinion.

Tuoba Yan was going to remarry anyway, so instead of watching her commit herself to a concubine, it would be better to step forward and bring her into the Weiyang Palace.

While chatting with Quan Yi, Huan Xi sighed:
"In order to change the customs and change their bad habit of step-marriage, I did not hesitate to bear the notoriety. I really paid too much."

Quan Yi looked strange, but he still had to agree against his will.
