Jin'an Emperor

Chapter 248 Disaster Wall

Tuoba Kui retreated unwillingly again.

Bingzhou is really jubilant this time. For the original military and civilians of Bingzhou, defeating the enemy is secondary. This city, which has been occupied by aliens for nearly 200 years, has finally returned to the embrace of the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains, which is the most exciting.

Although Tuoba Kui retreated, Lu Qiang was not in a hurry to leave.

First, he received the gentry and celebrities in Bingzhou as the emperor of the Han family. He has just taken over here, and his control is not strong, so he should also focus on appeasing these people he didn't like.

After finishing his work in the city, Lu Qiang led his army north to inspect the Xiongguanguan of Yanmen.

Although the towering Yanmen has experienced the flames of war, it still stands upright, just like the will of the Chinese nation. Despite the storm, it has never yielded.

Looking along the closed wall of Yanmen to the Great Wall on both sides, people can't help but feel excited, and a sense of heroism rises. Only the Han people have such a great masterpiece!

After inspecting Yanmen, Lu Qiang sent an order, and the Tan Daoji Legion took Bingzhou as the center and incorporated all the areas west of Taihang Mountain and east of the Yellow River under its control.

Originally, the State of Yan and the State of Qin were bounded by the Yellow River, and the north was bounded by Yanmen Pass, and there was a section of the Great Wall between Yanmen and Zhongshan, which was even a temporary border between the Jin Dynasty and the Feng regime established by the Feng family.

At this time, Gongsun's fifth floor suddenly found that he, the governor of Bingzhou, could not intervene at all in military except for government affairs. To put it well, the governor had the right to transfer troops, but the army in Bingzhou was one of the only three generals in the Jin Dynasty, and he could not command others at all.

So after thinking deeply, Gongsun's fifth floor wisely asked Lu Qiang for an order to go to Luoyang as an official.

Lu Qiang had already moved his heart and did not hesitate to agree with him directly, and immediately appointed him as the servant of the Ministry of Ceremonies. He immediately returned to Luoyang to take office. His brother Gongsun Gui was also sent to the Ministry of Household as an official.

Although the servant of the Ministry of Ceremonies does not have the real power of the governor of Bingzhou, it is far from the meaning of being an official in the center and a local official, so it is not aggrieved their brother.

So far, Lu Qiang took the opportunity of Tuoba to go south and not only took the vast area west of Taihang Mountain, but also replaced local officials at all levels with his own people and completely eliminated the shadow of the State of Yan in these places.

After doing this, Lu Qiangcai returned to the court. At this time, a big event also happened in Jiangling. Several bold Buddhist children tried to assassinate Lu Qiang's wife and children.

Although the guards did not fight back against the assassin, they scared several women very much.

The matter was reported to Lu Qiang on his way back to Luoyang. Lu Qiang couldn't help but be furious when he heard it. It was enough to assassinate himself. How could he attack women and children? It seems that I am too kind to these stubborn Buddhists.

Immediately ordered Liu Sinu to investigate the matter with all his strength. I believe that this matter is by no means so simple, and it is necessary to find the mastermind behind the scenes and bring it to justice. At the same time, it is clearly ordered that from now on, monks will no longer be allowed to travel around and must stay in local monasteries honestly, and those who violate it will be punished for rebellion.

Lu Qiang is really angry. Buddhism is the largest religion in the world. He didn't want to have too much resentment with it, but now they have moved on their families, so there is nothing to discuss.

As early as Guangling, Xie Wangzu almost died under Lu Qiang because of beating Chunlan. Now they want to kill their own women and children. If they don't kill them all, he will not be Lu Qiang.

With the issuance of Lu Qiang's strict order, there was another bloody wind against monasteries in the Jin Dynasty. Under this high pressure, although the monks were in danger, those believers were also honest, at least on the surface.

After this incident, Zhao Lunwen personally led a large army to escort the queen and others to Luoyang and pleaded guilty to Lu Qiang. Since Chen did not protect the queen well.

To talk about this, Lu Qiang also has his own responsibility for this matter. He is usually busy with government affairs and has fewer separations with his wife and children. It can be said that he has not fulfilled the responsibility of his husband and father. So he did not blame Zhao Lunwen. After briefly asking about the situation, he let him go back to Jiangling.

Several women were somewhat frightened, but only Sun Yao was better. After all, she used to do this. Women and children will be raised all the way, and by Luoyang, they have fully recovered.

The thing he is most afraid of is Lu Qiang himself. If something really happens to his wife and children, he is afraid that he will die. So when he returns to Luoyang these days, no matter how busy his official business is, he will take time to accompany his wife and children for a while.

Several little guys are almost one year old. It was the time when they were lively and active, and the playground designed by Lu Qiang in Jiangling naturally moved over.

The situation of Luoyang Palace is not comparable to that of Jiangling Palace. Now Xie Wushuang and each of them have their own independent palace, and there are naturally more eunuchs and so on.

In this way, it seems that there is more room for activities, and all the noble concubines are also majestic, but Lu Qiang always feels that something is missing.

In fact, as far as the ancient emperor is concerned, Lu Qiang is simply an alien, because his harem is really in space, but Lu Qiang doesn't feel anything wrong. After all, a man's energy is limited. If it is all used on women, will he do anything else?

A few little guys are also very clingy. They often cry because Lu Qiang hugged for a while.

Although it's a little annoying for children to cry, Lu Qiang is the happiest only at this time every day.

Although Luoyang has a saying in the world, it is close to the north. The temperature is very different from that of Jiangling. Fortunately, it is only autumn now, and the temperature is relatively cool. In winter, I'm afraid these women who have lived in the south since childhood will not adapt to it.

So Lu Qiang came to Xiao Yuanchang and asked him to study the heating methods in the north to avoid the cold of his wife and children in winter.

As soon as Xiao Yuanchang left, Wu Yinzhi, the minister of the household department, rushed to see him.

With the return of the court to Luoyang, officials at all levels of the Jiangling court also moved here and quickly entered the role.

Lu Qiang was bowing his head to criticize the memorial. After ordering Wu Yinzhi to come in, he did not raise his head and said, "Come on, show Lord Wu a seat. Lord Wu is the leader, and I will soon finish it."

"Hehe! No hurry"

Wu Yinzhi still held a plate covered with red cloth in his hand and took a few steps back to sit on the low pier moved by the servant.

After the instructions on the last memorial, Lu Qiang raised his head and smiled, "Wu Da is very popular, but what's the happy event?"

Wu Yinzhi stood up, picked up the plate in his hand, and smiled, "Excuse me for being unreasonable. Your Majesty may guess what is in this plate?"

Lu Qiang is very friendly to his subordinates. As long as he doesn't offend him too much, he usually doesn't lose his temper. In this way, the ministers are closer to Lu Qiang.

"Hehe! I'm not a fairy. How can I know what's inside if I don't see it?

Wu Yinzhi no longer played dumb riddles, reached out to lift the red cloth, then handed the plate to the attendant beside him, and said, "Your Majesty must be happy to see it"

Lu Qiang approached the waiter and looked into the plate, but saw several yellow copper coins on the plate.

"Ah! Did you make it so soon?"

Seeing copper coins, Lu Qiang couldn't help but be overjoyed. In this era, there have been copper coins inside the outer circle, but most of them are rough, and there are few copper components. In some places, there are even cloth money, so Lu Qiang has long been interested in making unified copper coins.

You should know that money can not only bring benefits to the country from circulation, but also be a symbol of national strength.

As the control area becomes larger and larger, retreats and apprentices have successively discovered several copper and iron mines. The copper coins cast this time have extremely high copper content, which has not been found in previous dynasties.

The front and back of the copper money are all four words "Xinqi Tongbao" which were also added by Lu Qiang Mingren. Xinqi is the year number, and so on. In the future, the copper money minted that year will be written with the words "Xiantongbao".

With the smooth and round copper money in his hand, Lu Qiang couldn't help saying, "Okay, okay, this is it"

Seeing the emperor's happy, Wu Yinzhi's smile on his face was also more, smiling and said, "According to Your Majesty's will, these treasures will circulate to Qin and Yan in various forms. At that time, they are afraid that they will use our money."

Lu Qiang nodded with a smile. This is actually an economic aggression, but it is silent. When Qin and Yan reacted, it was too late.

"While circulating copper money, we should also prevent people from making fake money. Later, I will only ask the Ministry of Criminal Justice to pay more attention to this matter. Once they are found to have counterfeiters, they will be killed without mercy."

"Your Majesty is very worried, but I'm afraid that the counterfeiters are not so powerful. After all, copper money as high as the copper issued by the imperial court is very expensive."

"That said, but I have to prevent it. By the way, I want the Ministry of Household Affairs to investigate the population of the old Yan land. How are you doing?"

"It is already in progress, but Bingzhou, Hexi, Shangdang and other places have just been attached, and it may be difficult to find out for a while."

"Hmm! I'm anxious. On the side of the party, you want the paragraph leader to help you, and send Gongsun back to Bingzhou and Hexi."

"Yes, I wrote it down. If there is no other order, I will leave first."

Lu Qiang nodded and signaled that Wu Yinzhi could leave. He looked up inadvertently and suddenly saw that Liu Sinu had been outside the hall.

Because of the assassination of the Empress and Noble Concubine by Buddhist believers, Liu Sinu has been staying in Jiangling for a while. At this time, there should be a result when she comes back.

Lu Qiang waved to Liu Si's daughter, and then ordered Zhao Yong to drive out the other close attendants. When he and Liu Sinu were talking about things, they were generally not heard by others.

After Liu Si's daughter entered the hall to bow and salute, she whispered, "Your Majesty, those monks are fake"

"Fake?"

After listening to Liu Sinu's words, Lu Qiang's eyes immediately narrowed and said, "Go on"

"Those murderers were all dead. After the failure, all of them committed suicide except those who were killed on the spot. However, after careful investigation, I still found their clues. This group of people obviously wanted to take advantage of Your Majesty's liquidation of Buddhism and divert His Majesty's attention."

Speaking of this, Liu Sinu paused for a moment and continued to say, "I suspect that this matter may have something to do with the people around your majesty." After saying this, he closed his mouth tightly.

"Does it have anything to do with the people around me?"

Lu Qiang's eyes stared again...
