The blood of the wild river Styx

Chapter 167 Two Years Jiang Huanchu

In Xiqi City, above the court hall, as soon as Ji Chang was sent away, Jiang Ziya and the others returned to the main hall of the palace. At this moment, the eldest son Bo Yikao was sitting on the first seat, while the officials below stood respectfully, Jiang Ziya also fell silent. Ji Fa's heart was full of jealousy and hatred, but he didn't dare to attack?
Bo Yikao looked around the group of officials, showed a serious expression, and asked: "Now that my father is going to Chaoge, the fate and fortune are unpredictable, and life and death are unknown, what should Xiqi do?

Today is Bo Yi Kao's first time presiding over the overall situation of the court. All the ministers, what can you teach me?King Zhou is fatuous and the world will be in chaos. How can Xiqi manage and protect himself? "

"Reporting to my son, Lord Hou has just left, and the ministers have no good plans for a while. However, Jiang Ziya, a great talent passed down from generation to generation, has now entered our Xiqi. He has not made an inch of merit, so he was appointed as a marquis and worshiped as a prime minister. At this time, the prime minister must have a good idea. What do you guys think?" Suddenly an official asked.

"Well, what Dr. Zhong said is absolutely true!" All the officials nodded.

Jiang Ziya became a marquis and worshiped the prime minister, and when he first entered Xiqi, he was suddenly under one person, above ten thousand, and held great power. Naturally, all the officials in Xiqi were jealous and wanted to make him look ugly.

Of course, some upright ministers like San Yifu, , and others really wanted to hear Jiang Ziya's opinion, and hoped that Jiang Ziya could really lead Xiqi farther and farther?

"Bo Yikao is stupid, please Xiangguo teach me...?" Boyi Kao asked respectfully.

"Yeah!" Jiang Ziya narrowed his eyes, waved his hand, and a gentle force helped Bo Yikao up, and said solemnly: "The troubled times are about to start, what Xiqi will do first is to strengthen the army!
Xibo Houxian's name has been passed down to the world, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the treasury can be said to be abundant. However, this alone is not enough for Xiqi to protect itself and rise.

At present, the world is not completely in chaos, and the princes from all walks of life are still jealous of Xibohou's reputation for virtue and benevolence, but if one day, there are disputes and killings, and swords are raised, will they really care about so much?No, in this world, strength is the last word.

Therefore, the truth is that if Xiqi wants to strengthen the country, he must reform, enrich the people, and strengthen the army! "

"Huh! This...?" Hearing Jiang Ziya's opinion, the officials narrowed their eyes.

"Xiangguo thinks that the world will be in chaos?" Bo Yikao frowned, and a look of disbelief flashed in his eyes. From his point of view, it was obvious that the four princes had been arrested into Chaoge.

The subordinates of the four major vassals must not dare to act rashly, and their subordinates will not move. How can the other small and medium-sized princes dare to raise troops?Most officials think so too!

"Ji Fa thinks that Xiangguo's words are reasonable, and we, Xiqi, must make preparations before they happen!" Suddenly, just as everyone was about to refute Jiang Ziya, Ji Fa stood up and said.

"Hmm!" Bo Yikao squinted his eyes, took a deep look at Ji Fa, then looked at Jiang Ziya, and asked again, "I don't know how Xiangguo plans to implement the reform?"

"The truth has its own way. Could it be that the prince still can't believe it?" Jiang Ziya asked.

After hearing this, Bo Yikao hurriedly said that he didn't dare. In desperation, he had to hand over the tasks of political reform, military training and strengthening the country to Jiang Ziya, but Jiang Ziya said: "My son is busy with government affairs, reforms and strengthening the army. How about Second Young Master to assist the minister?"

"Ji Fa is willing to help Xiangguo..." Ji Fa also immediately respected.

The two sang together, what else could Bo Yikao do?Even though he cared about his brotherhood, he would not think that his own younger brother Ji Fa would harm him or Xi Qi.

"In this way, there will be Lao Xiangguo and Ji Fa!" Bo Yikao finally said in a deep voice.

So, starting from the second day, Jiang Ziya held the power in his hands, and within the scope of Xibohou's territory, he launched a reform. This was a profound change. Like the disciples of the family, strict laws were enacted. The new law encouraged farming and joined the army.

In this process, it is natural to encounter huge help. However, whether it is the dissatisfaction of civil and military officials or ordinary people, can't influence Jiang Ziya's will?

For those who stand in his way, he mercilessly wields a butcher's knife!

Slowly, over time, the views of the people of Xiqi seemed to have been changed by Jiang Ziya. Facing the strict laws, they had to be cautious?

"Although Xiangguo's law is not in line with Xiqi's policy of governing the country, it has indeed achieved great results in just half a year, and the country's strength has become stronger. Moreover, the people have slowly begun to accept the new law, because they understand that it is impossible to accept it. If you accept it, you must change the law?

Well, and the general situation in the world, as Jiang Ziya expected, became more and more turbulent. If the four princes were not suppressing Chaoge, there would probably be chaos already. "After half a year passed, with Jiang Ziya's iron fist, he had already gained a firm foothold in Xiqi.

Gradually, many officials could no longer be jealous of him. After seeing the effect of strengthening the army and enriching the people, the son Bo Yikao also fully supported Jiang Ziya?
On the other side, they talked about Chaoge, and the four great princes came here under the imperial edict. King Zhou indeed detained him and locked him in Chaoge City. , as time went by, Daji became more and more serious.

She was ruthless, bewitched the emperor, built deer towers, wine ponds and meat forests, pestered King Zhou to have fun in the harem day and night, and did not go to the morning court for ten and a half months. , Bigan, , , and other veterans supported it strongly, and Wucheng King Huang Feihu led the troops to guard Chaoge to deter foreign enemies.

However, all this is not over yet. Daji is a nine-tailed fox, and the nine-tailed fox is a demon sent by the Nuwa Empress. She has no feelings for Chaoge City, and she only knows how to complete the task?
In this way, as time passed, among the four great princes, Dong Bohou Jiang Huanchu finally learned about his daughter Queen Jiang on the third day of entering Chaoge?
It is said that in the Hall of Longde, in front of the Manchu officials and the other three princes including Ji Chang, Jiang Huanchu spat out a mouthful of old blood on the spot, scolded King Zhou, and cursed Daji.

"Bold Jiang Huanchu, the king wanted his ministers to die, and the ministers had to die. Queen Jiang committed a serious crime by assassinating the widow, and the widow only pursued her alone. It is already tolerant if she is not involved in the crime.

Unexpectedly, you don't know good from bad, and you have resentment in your heart, and confront you face-to-face, you are so angry..." King Zhou was furious on the spot, and he threw the table over.

"A foolish king has no way, how can he rule the world, hahahaha." Jiang Huanchu laughed angrily.

He was indeed scheming and scheming, and it wasn't that he didn't know what the current situation was like. However, the death of Queen Jiang made him unacceptable. Even calling the four princes to enter Chaoge this time is to arrest and kill him.

How could Jiang Huanchu's wisdom fail to understand this point?This time, I will probably die but not live. In this case, why not die after suffering more humiliation than living?If he scolded King Zhou for being a fool and was brutally executed, could he still arouse his son's desire for revenge?

"Your Majesty, Jiang Huanchu dared to insult you. He is really brave. Why don't you let him try the torture of cannon fire?" Daji suddenly said as if he was listening to the government behind a curtain.

So without hesitation, King Zhou ordered Jiang Huanchu to be burned in disregard of the dissuasion of all officials!
Dong Bohou, die!Ji Chang and other three major princes were also imprisoned, and Ji Chang was especially unlucky because Xiqi took Jiang Ziya in, so he would have been fired. Save Ji Chang's life.

Ji Chang was imprisoned by Yuri, lonely and old, studying gossip day and night without mentioning it, but he said that Jiang Huanchu was burned, the news could not be blocked for too long, and soon the two hundred princes in the east were in chaos.

Shang Rong, Bigan, , and others were worried that Dong Bohou's subordinates would send troops to Chaoge for revenge, so King Wu Cheng should pay more attention to it... Unexpectedly, within a few days, news would come back, Dongbohou three A son, for the position of Lord Marquis, caused Xiao Qiang internal strife?

When they were fighting each other, because of Jiang Huanchu's death, the two hundred princes in the east were also ready to move. I don't know which country started the sword first. Of course, at the beginning, they didn't dare to attack Dongbohou's territory. small kingdoms.

The territory is expanding, and the battles are repeated, and Chaoge is in the east, and it seems to be chaotic!
"Hmm! The two hundred princes under Dong Bohou's command are in great chaos..." All the forces in the world were shocked when they heard the news, which forced Shang Rong and others to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Hahaha, Dong Bohou is rebellious in his heart, this is the best end!" It is said that when King Zhou heard the news, he looked up to the sky and laughed, very proud, and praised Daji.

Shang Rong, Bigan, and other ministers shook their heads and sighed, and Shang Rong said: "Your Majesty, don't take it lightly. The two hundred vassal states in the east are fighting together, and there has been great chaos. No matter whether the Jiang family can keep the position of Dong Bohou or not, or Usurped by other princes?

With the expansion of strength, the ambitions of the victorious princes swelled, how could they safely stay in the east, I fear that before long, there will be princes in the south who will send troops to Chaoge.

At this time, His Majesty should promulgate the emperor's decree to persuade all the southern princes to make peace! "

"Your Majesty, the old prime minister's words are justified. Don't let their ambition continue to expand, otherwise, it will be a serious problem for my Yin Shang..." All the officials bowed down.

"Bastard!" King Zhou was furious, and roared, "Shang Rong, are you a fool? It's their job for the feudal princes in the East to fight each other. It's nothing to let them consume their troops, as long as they don't break into Chaoge. , what is the widow afraid of? Hmph, relying on the old to sell the old!"

"Here, Your Majesty, you!! Pfft..." Shang Rong's face turned red, and he spit out a mouthful of blood. He laughed, laughing miserably, showing sadness: "Yes!

That's right, I'm old and useless, alas, that's how it is, I'm old, since this is the case, His Majesty doesn't want to use me, an old guy, as an assistant, so Shang Rong resigned. "

After speaking, he bowed deeply to King Zhou, and left disheartened. Bigan and other civil and military officials' faces changed wildly, and they hurriedly persuaded: "Old Prime Minister, you can't, absolutely not?"

This is the first year after Jiang Ziya became Prime Minister of Xiqi, two earth-shattering events happened, Jiang Huanchu died, the two hundred princes in the east conquered chaos, and Shang Rong resigned?
At this time, Jiang Ziya had already mastered too much energy of Xiqi under the iron fist in a year, and a group of key ministers who followed his reform slowly began to replace the elder faction in the Xiqi court and became the leader of Xiqi. Xikinai, the new backbone.

At the same time, a massive land enclosure movement in Nanbohou's territory, and the two hundred princes under his command, started directly, spread and swept the land, not just a wealthy businessman, but many, more and more , scholar-officials and aristocrats, suddenly found that they could not afford to buy food?What should I do if there is no food? What do I eat?
Some princes had evil thoughts and wanted to rob the grain merchants, and the largest grain merchants were naturally the Zhong family. However, at that time, Zhong Shan's dark forces showed the tip of the iceberg for the first time, and they wanted to rob the Zhong family. In the vassal state of Liangpu, in just three months, all members of the royal family were slaughtered, and their heads were hung on the city gate. It was extremely bloody and terrifying.

"The princes are like this, how is it different from robbers? They should be killed..." Zhong Shan said.

This is to kill a hundred. Sure enough, it made the southern princes a lot more peaceful. Although there are more nobles and princes secretly forming alliances and alliances, and wanting to grab food, but before they take action, they can only accept the enclosure and use the land. , to buy food.

It's just, wait a year later, when dozens of vassal states finally can't stand it anymore and decide to fight to the death, even if they bear the infamy of the world, they want to rob food?

The power of Zhong Shan and the major grain merchants has already expanded. On the blood-stained land, private soldiers were trained to expand their power. Under Zhong Shan's call, the major grain merchants united and defeated the princes in one fell swoop. The coalition forces of the country even disrupted the economy of the dozens of vassal states and blocked their grain purchase channels. As a result, the nobles of the dozens of vassal states had to starve to death... Slowly, they could no longer eat. How can the full soldiers obey the orders of the princes and nobles? Too many people take off their armor and join the ranks of ordinary people, and go to the porridge shop set up by the Zhong family to get porridge?
