Chapter 9 Black Clouds Press City

Beizhou Chaoyang City is the second largest city in Beizhou. The prosperity here is completely different from that of Lin'an and the south. If the south is the elegant and dignified literati, Lin'an is luxurious and popular, and Beizhou is the solation of the desert. Because Beizhou is located in the north and close to the wilderness, people here basically practice martial arts, and some poor families hope that their children can join the army.

Since ancient times, the saying that the North has been famous for the South has been a bachelor for 500 years in the Song Dynasty, and the most important thing is that Emperor Taizu was the voice of Beizhou, so Beizhou is of great significance to the Song Dynasty.

The eldest prince in the logistics office of Guyan City, the central city of Yunzhou, stood in the courtyard and looked at the sky. Mr. Lin was still drinking good tea like that.

"Your Highness, what else to worry about," Lin Lao said with a smile.

The eldest prince still looked at the sky without saying a word. Although he had approved the secret of sending his own people to visit his father, he always felt a little restless.

"The northern war door wanted to cut off my logistics in the Song Dynasty by despicable means. Although the Supervision Institute stopped it, I always felt that there was something uneasy," the eldest prince said, looking at the sky.

After hearing this, Mr. Lin was stunned and then put down the teacup in his hand and looked at the eldest prince in silence, because it was impossible for the Taoist sect to give up the death of five adjudicators and countless ordinary Taoist priests in blue and robes.

"Your Highness, I think I asked the Maple King," Mr. Lin said.

The eldest prince nodded after hearing this. After all, the Maple King and the Supervision Institute are the best institutions to contain the Qingtian God practitioners of the Song Dynasty, and the most important thing is that the logistics of the Song Dynasty cannot be interrupted. If the wilderness tribe counterattack is broken and the bloody plain Song Dynasty is broken, the Song Dynasty will no longer be able to step into the wilderness.

....

.........

Although autumn has arrived, the heat has not decreased, and the autumn tiger continues to cover the world like a nightmare.

In Chaoyang City, there are countless small families in Beizhou or it is more appropriate to become a Wang clan. Naturally, these families cannot be compared with the Yunzhou family in those years. In particular, after the failure of the Yunzhou family mutiny and the Song Dynasty showed their fangs, these Beizhou families were even more cautious, and both the Beizhou family and the other weeks would send their disciples to the academy to study and practice.

Although the Bingjia Academy and Confucian Academy in the Song Dynasty, they are still not as influential as the Academy in the Song Dynasty. The influence of the Academy is to deter the existence of Daomen and other forces.

Chaoyang City is not big, but it is not under the central square. After that, it is the Chaoyang government, and on both sides of the square are the mansions of countless families. Although the land in Chaoyang City is not the existence of an inch of gold, the families who can buy mansions around the square can be said to be extremely rich.

On the right side of the square is the Xia Mansion, which has the first family in Beizhou, so the Xia family can be the first family in Beizhou because the ancestor of the Xia family was the most important general of Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty. Although the eight famous generals of the founding of the Song Dynasty, the Xia family ranked fifth, their reputation still does not need to be the same as the top four famous generals.

The Xia Mansion covers an extremely large area and is extremely luxuriously decorated. Although the Xia family has been appointed as officials in the court now, it is far from as brilliant as before, but the hereditary position of the Marquis is extremely precious. Except for the children of the royal family, the prince of the Song Dynasty can basically get the hereditary title if he is the founder of the country.

The backyard of Xiafu is like spring in the south, all the flowers and trees are the most precious, and the construction of the courtyard stream has been built by famous craftsmen in the south.

In the courtyard in the center of the backyard, a middle-aged man and a young man are playing chess. The middle-aged man holds the black man and the young man holds the white man on the chessboard and the black man occupies the general trend. The white man struggles in the end.

Finally, after a long time, the young man voted Baizi to admit defeat, and the middle-aged man was happy that he did not win the chess game.

"You didn't do well this time," the middle-aged man said majestically. The middle-aged identity is Xia Yi, who is now the head of the Xia mansion and inherits the position of the marquis.

The young man was speechless, but his face showed an extremely respectful look, and his body trembled slightly when he heard Xia Yi's words, and the identity of the young man was the young head of Xia Yi's eldest son Xia Yu.

Xia Yi got up and did not look at Xia Yu, but looked at the sky and said, "My Xia family has been loyal for generations, but this time you want to humiliate the Xia family"

The majesty revealed by Xia Yi's words is not like that of the emperor, but it stops in Xia Yu's ears like thunder. Xia Yi is the most outstanding head of the Xia family and always has a look of self-righteousness. Even the old people in the Xia family are a little afraid of Xia Yi.

Xia Yu still didn't say anything, but his body trembled more and more, and his father's words hit his heart like Tianwei.

"Your second brother entered the military family and is now on the northern front. Your third brother entered the Confucian school to study with a senior in the Senate. Your fourth brother's talent is best to be admitted to the front yard of the college. I think you should know this," Xia Yi said.

After hearing this, Xia Yu's forehead sweat wet the white robe on his body like pulp, and his body trembled even more. It can be said that his father's arrangement for his brothers began a long time ago. Now although the Xia family is not as brilliant as the ancestors, it is only his father's ambition is to let the Xia family take a step forward.

In addition to the prince, the princes of the Song Dynasty are dukes, marquises, viscounts and barons. In addition to the royal children of the royal family, there are only three hereditary princes. And they were all great meritorious officials who followed the founding of the Taizu Emperor in those years, and their father wanted the title of the Xia family to become more duke, so that they could be closer to the high-level power of the Song Dynasty.

Although the position of the marquis is also extremely prominent, there is still no way to enter the highest level of power in the Song Dynasty, because there are countless dukes in Lin'an City, not to mention the crucian carp of the marquis crossing the river.

"Father, I'm wrong." Xia Yu lowered his head and knelt on the ground and said that his voice revealed fear and helplessness.

Xia Yi looked at the sky and sighed slightly and said, "You are the next head of the Xia family. How can you only care about the immediate interests? I'll give you time to deal with it. If you can't handle it well, you can leave the Xia family by yourself." After that, he left the courtyard and left the backyard.

Xia Yu's father's footsteps left the backyard before he raised his head and then lost his strength and leaned on the stone pier. Xia Yu looked at the sky and didn't expect that things had been revealed.

All the families in Beizhou are teaching their children a lesson. Of course, some of them have expelled the disciples who participated in the incident. The children of the Beizhou family colluded with the government to make a lot of money in war. Some people bullied other people's fields, and some officials who were greedy in the past were even more afraid.

"The weather is going to change," Wu Shuo, the governor of Liaoyang City, looked at the sky and said.

Wu Shuo, as the only Confucian in the world today, knows that the children of the Yunzhou family have colluded with some officials for a hundred years, but he can't say that it is not because of his official position but because of the stability of the Song Dynasty.

It is impossible for the Song Dynasty to be greedy for a hundred years to exist just because the Song Dynasty and the Supervisory Court could not make a more detailed investigation at all, and the other reason was that the existence of the Qingtian God Religion and other forces constrained most of the energy of the Song Dynasty. Now, with the outbreak of northern soldiers, the Song Dynasty and the Supervision Institute have finally strengthened the investigation of some things in Beizhou, and the collusion between the children of the family and the government and the corruption of some officials have finally been exposed.

Even if it is secret, there is a flaw, and the existence of the Song Dynasty Supervisory Institute is to see this flaw.

When there were waves of investigation groups composed of young officials from the logistics government in Liaoyang City went to the government in various parts of Yunzhou to collude with the children of the family, a big prince's cronies led by Fan Yao also quietly left Liaoyang City.

At the same time, the strong man of Daomen in Jintong County in the south temporarily left because of the failure to kill the second prince. The battle between Zhao Feng and Ye Wudao only ended in an instant.

The second prince sat in the official government of Jintong City and took over the position of Taishou to control the whole Jintong County, and the young man in the sixth realm beside the second prince was also in the hall at this time. Although the attack of Daomen gave the second prince great fear, these still could not shake the heart of the second prince. The young man's injury had recovered and was almost looking at the sky bored.

"What are these young officials going to do?" The young man looked at the sky and asked boredly.

The second prince smiled and said, "Purple, what do you think"

Zi looked back at the second prince and said, "I don't understand this. I only protect your highness"

The second prince smiled and continued to look at the paper in his hand without saying anything. Although Jintong County has now returned to the Song Dynasty, there is still a shortage of officials. Moreover, after the rebellion of the southern countries, there were few people who could not form a regular army, so the royal family sent some new generals and some new Confucian promotions.

The second prince saw some information given by the imperial court and selected his cronies to cultivate.

Before the main gate of the Buddha's capital, the main road leading to the palace has been cleared, and the carriage of the seventh prince stopped at the main gate quietly waiting for the arrival of the prime minister of the Buddha.
