On the morning of December 25th, 426, Dajin, the early dynasty in the Taiyuan Hall of the Canglong City Palace had just begun. The emperor of Dajin, Liu Heng, sat on the emperor’s throne and yawned, looking at hundreds of people on both sides of the hall. The senior officials of the Da Jin court, and the Queen Mother Zhou sat behind Liu Heng, separated by a curtain.

An **** standing in front of Liu Heng shouted in a loud voice like a drake: "Something starts to play--nothing happens to retreat--"

Suddenly, Dou Yan, the captain of the Ministry of War, came out loudly and said: "Thanks to the Queen Mother and the emperor, Qianzhou has sent a shocking news that Liu Ji, the prefect of Qian'an County and the guerrilla general of Qianzhou, started a war against Gaochang in the Western Regions without authorization. At the end, now that the two dependent states of Gaochang State, Zhu Qiguo and Xuguguo, have been captured, the minister believes that Liu Ji's behavior of contempt for the court must be severely punished, otherwise officials from all over the country will follow Liu Ji's example, then our big Jin will be messed up! "

Immediately afterwards, Crown Lieutenant Yang Zhong also went out and said: "The minister seconded that the prefect of Qianzhou Daan County and the guerrilla general Liu Ji were bold and reckless. You must know that Gaochang is one of the four powers in the Western Regions, and not only has hundreds of troops. Ten thousand, you can also mobilize millions of soldiers and horses from dozens of vassal states. Liu Ji sent troops to the Western Regions privately, which is tantamount to provoke a powerful enemy to our Great Jin!"

"The minister seconded!" "The minister seconded!"...

After finishing talking about the Taiwei Dou Yan of the Ministry of War and the Taiwei Yang Zhong of the official department, dozens of ministers came out one after another, hoping that the court would severely punish Liu Ji.

The emperor Liu Heng of Da Jin did not sleep well last night. He received a secret report from Liu Chong, Mu Liu Chong of Qianzhou Prefecture yesterday, and the secret report detailed the causes and consequences of Liu Ji’s dispatch to the Western Regions after defeating a Khitan army. And the process of Liu Ji's occupation of Zhuqi and Xuguo is attached.

After reading this secret newsletter, Liu Heng couldn’t calm down for a long time. As an aspiring emperor, Liu Heng hopes that he can become a great emperor and expand his territory. But now he has no pro-government and his powers are very limited, don’t It is said that it was to expand the territory for the Great Jin Dynasty, even the court of the Great Jin Dynasty, Liu Heng could not control it.

And the prefect of Da'an County, who was only two years older than himself, had already led troops to the Western Regions to regain the homeland. This surprised Liu Heng, but he couldn’t help feeling a little envious. Last night, Liu Heng held Qianzhou State Shepherd Liu. After reading Chong's secret report many times, I didn't feel that I was sleeping well.

Hearing that dozens of court ministers, such as Tai Wei Dou Yan of the Ministry of War, Tai Wei Yang Zhong of the official department, participated in Liu Ji's book on the grounds that Liu Ji was arrogant to the Western Regions, Liu Heng's expression suddenly changed and he wanted to speak. To refute these ministers, you must know that more than a hundred years ago, the country of Zhuqi and the country of Sugu were all subjects of the Jin Dynasty. Liu Ji's move was to regain his homeland. Even if the court didn't praise him, how could he be punished?

However, Liu Heng opened his mouth, thinking that he had no right to participate in political affairs at all. He was just a display in the court. The political affairs of the Da Jin court were currently decided by Liu Bu Taiwei and Zhou Tai later. Liu Heng immediately clenched his fists. , Did not speak.

Behind the curtain, the Queen Mother Zhou saw dozens of ministers coming out and demanding severe punishment of Liu Ji. The Queen Mother couldn’t help but frown. Severe punishment is not neglected. The problem is that now that Liu Ji has already laid down Zhu Qiguo and Xuguguo, Gao Changguo will never give up. If Liu Ji is punished, who will resist Gao Changguo’s army? And that Liu Ji’s subordinate has heard that it has been There are hundreds of thousands of troops, what if Liu Ji is forced to turn?"

Taiwei Dou Yan of the Ministry of War, Taiwei Yang Zhong, Taiwei Wang Zhihuan, Taiwei Zhao Boran, Taiwei Sun Mingtao of the Ministry of Industry and Taiwei Zheng Kai of the Ministry of War exchanged glances, and then the Taiwei Dou Yan of the Ministry of War Gongsheng said: " If the Queen Mother and Liu Ji dare to rebel, the minister is willing to lead the imperial army to Qianzhou in person. As for Gaochang, we can send envoys to explain to Gaochang people and return Zhu Qiguo and Xuguguo to Gaochang without any conditions. It is also appropriate. I think Gao Changguo will not be too much to make some compensation."

Many of the thirteen top families in the Jin Dynasty sent people to win over Liu Ji. Unfortunately, Liu Ji didn’t get in. Since he couldn’t get on the same boat, the court officials of the thirteen families naturally wouldn’t. No matter what kindness is to Liu Ji, dozens of ministers have joined Liu Ji's book.

In addition, several important officials from the thirteenth family already had a prying eye on Liu Ji’s army and the entire Da'an County. If the court can convict Liu Ji, then they will use their own methods to fight for Liu Ji’s subordinates. The army and the entire Daan County.

After listening to the words of Emperor Dou Yan of the Ministry of War, the Emperor Liu Heng of the Dajin finally couldn't help it, "Dou Taiwei, I think we should still focus on safety. The example of Zhang Mingqi in Suzhou has already made Dajin a little overwhelmed!"

Liu Heng's words suddenly showed embarrassment on the faces of many ministers below.

Suzhou is located in the southeast of Dajin. It has nine counties and one state capital, Lijiang City. Zhang Mingqi was originally a county magistrate in Suzhou and the son of a powerful local family.

Because Suzhou suffered a once-in-a-hundred-year flood this year, there are many people in Suzhou who are affected by the disaster, and accordingly, it has become a paradise for the gangsters. The gangsters are raging throughout Suzhou, and the number has increased exponentially.

As the county magistrate, Zhang Mingqi responded to the imperial call~lightnovelpub.net~ In his own county, he organized a local army belonging to the county government. Zhang Mingqi himself has a high martial arts skill, and there are several powerful generals under his command, under the leadership of Zhang Mingqi. His army first wiped out the gangsters in the county, and then successively defeated several invading gangsters. Zhang Mingqi also sent troops to nearby counties and counties to help these counties and eliminate local gangsters.

In Zhang Mingqi's battle against the gangsters, every time after the war, he picked out the young and strong men among the gangsters' captives and added them to his army, making the army in Zhang Mingqi's hand, like a snowball, rapidly swelled in a short time. There are more than 40,000 people in it.

At this time, Zhang Mingqi’s army suddenly fell into the eyes of some important officials of the thirteenth family. So he wanted to put this army of more than 40,000 people into some of the important officials, so he gave Zhang Mingqi a fornication. After preparing to convict Zhang Mingqi for the crime of gangsters, he arranged for his family's children to take over the army of more than 40,000 people.

As a result, he did not expect to be self-defeating. That Zhang Mingqi learned that the imperial court wanted to ransack his house and kill him without hesitation. He immediately attacked the surrounding counties and counties, and even Kelianjie, some gangsters in Suzhou. After learning that Zhang Mingqi had turned against the court, one after another took refuge in Zhang Mingqi's command.

Now Zhang Mingqi's army has expanded to hundreds of thousands, and most of Suzhou has fallen into Zhang Mingqi's hands.
