Would the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty allow the princess to marry a mere prince of the Kaiyuan Kingdom? The answer is self-evident. Even if it was true as the rumors said, Princess Dongye of Dazhou was really enamored with Zhao Zongyang, it would be of no use. Even the lower-class nobles pay attention to each other's identity and status when considering marriage, not to mention the marriage between countries. As for whether one likes it or not, that doesn't even matter.
In this kind of marriage, it can be easily seen that the status of both parties is stronger and the status is obviously higher. Therefore, only a Dazhou man can marry a Kaiyuan woman, otherwise it will be regarded as an insult by the Dazhou people.
Kaiyuan¡¯s proposal of marriage to Da Zhou would not only not be approved, but might also anger Da Zhou. Of course, the first person to bear the brunt is the "culprit" Zhao Zongyang.
Zhao Tianyun did this, on the one hand, he made Da Zhou hate Zhao Zongyang deeply, and on the other hand, he could also use it to guide the people who were "blinded" by Zhao Zongyang: Look, this guy is greedy for wealth and colludes with Da Zhou, he is a traitor. ah! You still treat him like a god
With a multi-pronged approach, there is no need to worry about Zhao Zongyang not being completely finished.
"However, when Zhao Zongyang is finished, Yanbei County will probably completely fall into the territory of the Zhou Dynasty. Once this choke point changes hands, the consequences will be disastrous.
To use an inappropriate metaphor, the entire Kaiyuan period was like a promiscuous woman who took off her clothes and took off her belt, opening her mind to the great Zhou Dynasty, allowing others to take whatever they wanted.
In order to gain absolute authority and eliminate any potential threats, Zhao Tianyun really did not hesitate to do anything.
Lin Zhanbo was a little hesitant for a moment: Should he follow His Majesty's footsteps? If you really do this, you will one day become the eternal sinner of Kaiyuan.
But he knew better. Can't stop now. The Lin family's many years of glory cannot be lost in our own generation. Are the interests of Kaiyuan as a whole more important, or the interests of the family?
For these nobles, the answer is self-evident, of course it is the family. The family is their capital in the fight for power, and ordinary people are of no use in this regard.
not to mention. The hatred for Zhao Zongyang was an eternal pain in his heart. After hesitating for a while, the resolute general showed the decisive style of a soldier. He gritted his teeth and said, "But with His Majesty's orders, how dare you not do the hard work of a dog or a horse?"
"I am very touched by Lin Aiqing's patriotism." Zhao Tianyun's face was full of smiles. His eyes were very soft, but after a moment he became a little more passionate: "I will arrange everything as soon as possible. General, please be prepared. Once the situation in Yanbei changes, lead the army to attack and fight against the rebellion!"
"No!" Lin Zhanbo knelt down on one knee and accepted the task. He knew in his heart that from this moment on, the path he had chosen would probably have no end; but now he had no choice. We can only keep walking forward, even if it is a dark and bottomless abyss.
¡¡
Unknowingly, there is a legendary story about how Zhao Zongyang "went to the meeting alone" and created an original demon-slaying array, causing the three elders to kill each other. Half a month has passed. In the past half month, the situation in Yanbei City has not been as chaotic as imagined. Instead, it has been orderly. Many people have rare smiles on their faces.
?Always. The three major families that occupied Yanbei were once regarded as behemoths that would never fall. There were even people who were preaching all day long: the people in Yanbei just needed to be controlled, otherwise there would be chaos. If one day there are no more three major families to maintain order, Yanbei will be in chaos; this is just like Kaiyuan without the current emperor.
As a result, the cruel reality hit them hard in the mouth, and the three major families suddenly collapsed. Yanbei Fei was not in chaos, but instead became more energetic. Under the rule of Shunhou, the people had an unprecedented sense of security and belonging.
This point can be truly felt from the huge crowds of people when Shun Hou recruited troops. Shun Hou's huge reputation in the hearts of the people of Yanbei can be truly felt.
In just half a month, almost all the young adults in Yanbei County came here. However, Cheng Luoyan's requirements were very high. Adhering to the standard of "preferring shortage to excess," he selected a small number of qualified people through extremely strict standards.
His standard is not the current cultivation and level of these people, but the courage, courage, tenacity, and the most important team spirit From an objective point of view, it has to be said that the entire Kaiyuan people, in These aspects are not very prominent, which is a common situation after the lack of faith. Even though Cheng Luoyan was the one who was finally selected, he was actually not very satisfied.
"Master Marquis, I'm sorry to say this bluntly, but it's very difficult to form a well-disciplined, well-trained, and extremely combat-effective army within half a year." In the Marquis Mansion, Cheng Luoyan reported the recruitment plan to Zhao Zongyang. situation, while complaining by the way.
Zhao Zongyang is a man who knows how to delegate power. Since he handed over all the power of conscription to Cheng Luoyan, he has never interfered with the commander and completely let go. The head of a county in Yanbei lived a leisurely life. Cheng Luoyan knew that the Marquis was showing his absolute trust in him.
This made him feel even more responsible.
"Zhao Tianyun's propaganda and brainwashing has been going on for so many years, how could it have no effect? ??It may take thousands of years to establish faith, but the loss of faith sometimes only takes a quarter of an hour." Zhao Zongyang looked very open-minded. He said to Cheng Luoyan in a hurry: "In the entire Kaiyuan, the loss of faith does not happen in a day or two. We have been struggling in the darkness for more than ten years. How can we get used to it when we see the light at first glance? ?Don¡¯t be anxious, take your time and things will get better.¡±
Cheng Luoyan suddenly felt a little ashamed: he could be said to have been through a lot of hardships and had seen everything in the world, so he thought he had become calm a long time ago; and the Marquis was a young man and the master of Yanbei, and now he was facing Considering Bo Yun's strange situation, he should be unable to eat or sleep, but why is he so calm, which makes him look more like a fool
"Speaking of which, we can't blame them. The imperial court has blocked all news and is only allowed to praise virtues. Even if they suffer disasters, they must turn bad things into good things. The common people know nothing about the truth and live in a world of lies all day long. Over time, , and lose the ability to think independently." Zhao Zongyang sighed with emotion: "Hey, I, the Marquis, am also unqualified."
"How can you blame the Marquis?" Cheng Luoyan sincerely admired: "I have never seen a nobleman like the Marquis. To be disrespectful, even the late emperor loved his people like his own son. , but no one can put himself in the shoes of ordinary people and think from the perspective of ordinary people like the Marquis. If the Marquis can ascend the throne, he will definitely be a saint king and a blessing to all people."
"As I said before, you can't place your hopes on a so-called holy king or a wise king. Such a country is too dangerous. If you meet a wise king, you will be strong, if you meet a regular king, you will be weak, and if you meet a faint king, you will perish. I'm afraid it won't last a few generations. , it¡¯s gone. We must establish a consciousness among the people that they cannot rely on others to give them, but must control their destiny in their own hands." Zhao Zongyang said seriously:
"To be honest, I don't pay much attention to the position of the Ninth Five Lords at all. The unparalleled privilege of life and death in the eyes of others is nothing compared to the transcendence of reincarnation that I pursue. But this country was created by my late father, and I cannot let me watch Kaiyuan be destroyed in the hands of those morons. As long as Kaiyuan can be strong, and once it is on the right track, I will immediately delegate power without any nostalgia."
Cheng Luoyan's old face suddenly became a little moved. He has seen so many heroes, emperors, generals and ministers in this world. In the final analysis, what is pursued is just the word "power", and no one is exception, even the famous late emperor. It wasn't until now that he saw an alternative like Zhao Zongyang. How broad-minded does one have to be to be so open-minded?
As for what he said about "transcending reincarnation," I couldn't understand it at all. I just thought it was very mysterious.
"Master Marquis, please don't give up, the people are still counting on you." Cheng Luoyan said sincerely: "Now the enemy is facing us, Zhou Dynasty has sent more troops here, and the situation is getting more and more tense. "
"The Zhou people are really insatiable wolves. Zhao Tianyun gave them so many years of annual tribute in the past, which was enough for them to spend a lifetime. If I don't pay this time, they won't be able to bear it." Zhao Zongyang teased: "But It¡¯s nothing. They keep bluffing but haven¡¯t made any substantive action yet, which shows that they are also hesitating. It¡¯s been half a month, and there should be some response from Emperor Zhou.¡±
It¡¯s okay that Zhao Zongyang didn¡¯t mention this. Once he mentioned it, Cheng Luoyan¡¯s anger couldn¡¯t help but burst out.
"Zhao Tianyun is so shameless! He actually sent people to Dazhou to propose marriage under your banner, and caused a storm in the city, and the entire Kaiyuan Kingdom knew about it."
Zhao Zongyang also didn¡¯t expect that Zhao Tianyun would be so ¡°enthusiastic¡± about his marriage, tmd, when the Lin family wanted to cheat and break off the engagement, they didn¡¯t see this ¡°uncle¡± being so active
"Speaking of which, Princess Dongye has not been here for some time. Could it be that she was imprisoned by the emperor of Zhou Dynasty?" Cheng Luoyan suddenly asked this question for no reason.
"Master Hou, the envoy from the Great Zhou Dynasty is outside the gate of the mansion and wants Master Hou to go out. He said that there is important news that needs to be announced in public." At this time, a guard came to inform.
The envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty? Ran Dongye went back to Dazhou for half a month and didn't come back. It seemed that he was grounded just as Cheng Luoyan thought.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? was the reigning event's golden branch's? jade leaf's?? unexpectedly got mixed up with a mere prince of Kaiyuan, which is really embarrassing; now it's even more troublesomeWhen it comes to proposing marriage, this is equivalent to announcing it to the whole world. This is not only a loss of face for the Zhou royal family, it is simply an insult to the country!
Princess Dong Ye, who has always been doted on and pampered by the emperor, may be in an unprecedented sad situation this time (To be continued)
