Chapter 275 Defeat Chapter Chapter 62-1 Letter

In the days to come, while I was recuperating, I kept an eye on the situation in the court.The Feng family's rebellion caught the imperial court by surprise. They saw them approaching steadily and occupying Dachengzhou County south of the Huanghe River.The world is in chaos, refugees are everywhere, the Yun family's business is mainly in the south, which is greatly affected, normal traffic and information channels have been cut off, and it is not enough to rely on hidden forces in various places to transmit news.At the same time, news of the defeat of the Northern Xinjiang Army came from North Korea.All of a sudden, the court was in an uproar. The [-] elite soldiers led by King Jing were formerly an elite army under Ji Jingyun. Following Ji Jingyun, they were invincible and invincible. Unexpectedly, after changing the commander, they actually In the fiasco in northern Xinjiang, the commander was killed, and nine out of ten of the [-] elite soldiers were lost.King Jing was under attack from the front and back, with the Feng family's army approaching steadily in front, and the people of Chenxing Kingdom fighting closer and closer behind him. They even hoarded troops on the north bank of Yushui, which was only across the river from the capital, ready to go.And according to the latest battle report, the army of the Chenxing Kingdom is not at all a remnant army that is nothing special as they thought in the past.They are not the army of the Chenxing Kingdom, but a mysterious ethnic group in the hinterland of the glacier to the north of the Chenxing Kingdom. For many years, because of the lack of contact with the outside world, even the Chenxing Kingdom did not know that this ethnic group had grown so large in that desolate land. , is huge enough to have enough power to wipe out and replace the Chenxing Kingdom that has gone through years of war.

Today's Chenxing Country is no longer called Chenxing Country, but was renamed Snow Wolf Country by this tribe.Their king is called the Snow Wolf King, and their army is brave and good at fighting. The reinforcements of Tianzhao Kingdom are in chaos every time of battle, because the Snow Wolf King has a cavalry team that the world has never seen.The cavalry of Tianzhao Kingdom and surrounding countries all use horses as their mounts, while the cavalry of the Snow Wolf Clan use tall and fierce snowfield wolves as their mounts. Their cavalry are called wolf cavalry!Thinking about those war horses seeing the evil wolf, they were already scurrying around in fright, and they dared to charge forward, half of them lost before the battle.As a result, the wolf cavalry was so powerful that they went straight to the vicinity of the capital.

The Feng family army probably also received the news of the wolf cavalry. After seizing the military and political power in the south of the Yangtze River, they no longer went north to attack. , the meaning of reaping the benefits.The situation in the court has changed drastically. The old ministries who supported the Nine Kings asked King Jing to step down one after another, wanting to welcome the Nine Kings back to take over the overall situation; , "To fight against the outside world, we must first settle down at home", King Jing should first seek peace from the Nine Kings, and unite with the Feng family army to fight against foreign enemies; It is better to negotiate a peace with the Snow Wolf King first, cede land and pay compensation, seek peace for a while, and then concentrate on dealing with the Nine Kings; some people were frightened by this unprecedented wolf cavalry, and wrote letters to propose moving the capital to other counties... Outside the hall, the people were instructed by the "oracle" to accuse King Jing of causing the war. Various speculations and rumors became more and more intense. At the same time, a more mysterious and sensational rumor began to spread in the sky. The spread spread throughout Zhao Kingdom, pointing the finger of the emperor's serious illness at King Jing one after another.

Facing the stalemate, King Jing knew very well in his heart that he could not win the battle with Snow Wolf King.Once the fight starts, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose, the Feng family army is waiting for you to finish the fight, so that you can wave the army north to pick up the cheap with the banner of righteousness; The established family business is enough for him to attract even greater criticism, and he has established facts and handles among the royal family; negotiated peace with the Nine Kings?Even more dreaming.He forced the Nine Kings to pretend to be crazy and escape from the capital, and he was giving the Nine Kings a great opportunity to raise their troops. How could he easily negotiate peace with him?The only thing left to do is to negotiate peace with the Snow Wolf King. After all, he has only interests and no personal enmity with the alien race. However, King Jing can keep his current power, which will do him more good than harm.Sure enough, within a few days, King Jing sent envoys across Yushui, demanding peace talks between the two countries.It is estimated that King Jing was also very depressed. If he had known earlier that when he seized power, an inexplicable Snow Wolf King would be thrown out of nowhere, making him flustered. .

The terms of the peace talks offered by the Snow Wolf King have no choice for the Tianzhao Kingdom at all. This unequal treaty requires the Tianzhao Kingdom to cede the sixteen prefectures in northern Xinjiang to the Snow Wolf Kingdom, compensate the military expenses of [-] million taels of silver, and recognize The Xuelang Kingdom is the suzerain of the Tianzhao Kingdom, and the harsh conditions of the peace talks caused the court to dispute again.Land cession and indemnity are negotiable. Tianzhao Kingdom, which has always claimed to be the supreme kingdom of heaven, would have no face if it recognized a barbaric tribe as the suzerain country?But he didn't want to be beaten to the point where he had to cede land and pay compensation, and the face of the Heavenly Dynasty was long gone.The court officials were further divided into two factions, one faction was fighting for the sake of saving the face of the Tianzhao Kingdom, and the other was for peace, thinking that recognizing the Xuelang Kingdom as the suzerain was a temporary measure of interests.Forced by the situation, King Jing went to the north bank of Yushui to negotiate in person, but the Snow Wolf King would not give in, and performed a horror game in front of King Jing in which wolf cavalry used captured corpses to feed wolves.King Jing returned home in fear, tried his best to reject all the opinions of the court, agreed to the terms of the peace talks with the Snow Wolf King, and set a date for signing a peace agreement with the Snow Wolf King on the Yushui River three days later.

Due to the chaos of the battle between the Snow Wolf King and the Feng family army, the first scientific examination of Tianzhao Kingdom, which was originally scheduled to be held at this time, had to be postponed temporarily. Bustling, restaurants and teahouses are not depressed at all due to the tense situation, on the contrary, there are scenes of celebrities and romantics everywhere.Since the emperor gave the idea of ​​selecting officials through the imperial examination the year before last, the emperor's mind has moved.He planned for almost two years. At the beginning of the year, he suppressed the opposition of the famous family, and the scientific examination system was implemented in full swing.In order to test the effect of the imperial examination, the emperor of the first scientific examination did not take the examination step by step according to the courtyard examination, rural examination, general examination and palace examination, and slowly selected. Tong Sheng went to Beijing to take part in the general examination and palace examination in batches.After the imperial decree was announced to the world, the poor family's children were very excited, and they wanted to take advantage of this god-given opportunity to "become famous in one fell swoop", and then make it to the top and show off their talents.The previous recommendation system made it impossible for most poor students to become officials. For the emperor's "wise and benevolent" decision-making, they are grateful, praised, and flattering. The emperor's prestige reached an unprecedented peak among folk students for a time, a rare and comparable to the "sage of Zeng Sheng".A large number of students from all over the country poured into the capital, and among them there were even some descendants of famous families. Apart from having a great idea of ​​trying this novel scientific examination, there were probably some born proud of the descendants of the noble families, that is, even if the descendants of the noble families did not With a illustrious family background, it may not be impossible to fight for a scholar with tens of thousands of households.

If in normal times, so many students stayed in the capital, it would be fine. After the exams, they would brag and compete with each other, and then have sex with prostitutes in brothels, nothing big would happen.But facing the national crisis is different. These guys usually have to do something when they have nothing to do. Now that the country is in chaos, this group of people gathers together all day long, talking and expressing their opinions on the country's situation. If they are in the court As an official, what else does it mean to be unfair.I can quite understand the sour mentality of scholars. I remember that I read an article called "Chinese Scholars" in my previous life, which satirized Chinese scholars extremely bitterly, saying, "Chinese people have always exaggerated the importance of reading But in fact, what they pay attention to is not reading itself, but the benefits that reading can bring. Once reading does not bring benefits, they despise reading and scholars, and the most common thing is to ridicule them as poor scholars. It is very annoying to the scholars themselves to say that they "have studied but cannot be officials and are often poor. Therefore, they are often dissatisfied, often self-proclaimed, often speak strangely, and often disobey the leadership. It can be seen that scholars They are not as lofty as they think they are.” He also said that “Chinese scholars cannot escape the trap of studying and becoming officials, which is why they especially like to care about national affairs. Concerned about the country and the people, the talents are high, and there is no way to serve the country. It seems that the country will perish without them, and the earth will not turn around without them..."

This author's thoughts are extreme, his diction is harsh, and his words are extremely bitter. Although I don't completely agree with his remarks, some of his views do hit the nail on the head with some ugly habits of Chinese scholars that have lasted for thousands of years.Tianzhao Kingdom is a farming nation with a culture similar to that of China. In addition to the recommendation system that has been implemented in the past, when they suddenly have a chance to enter the officialdom they dream of, they will definitely show their magical powers like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea. Concentrate on it.When the country is in trouble, it is time for them to "worry about the country and the people, and comment on the world".
