Shangjing, the imperial city, Ming Zhengju.

The winter is long, and the world is getting colder and colder. Even though the imperial city has been designed and transformed by skilled craftsmen, it has the effect of warming in winter and cooling in summer. Instead, it is exhausted, the body organs are aging, and the six major systems are on the verge of collapse, and they can barely maintain their operation.

On the sickbed, Emperor Jingtai's face was blue, with black air in the blue, with big bags under his eyes, his body had shrunk significantly, but he looked obese, very contradictory, it was edema, and there was a faint smell of urine on the bedding. Frequent replacement is also difficult to remove.

Beside the bed, a large and honest figure stood respectfully aside, looking at Emperor Jingtai quietly, with deep worry in his eyes, red eye sockets, full of complexity.

The fourth prince, Yang Mao, is in a heavy heart. On the one hand, Emperor Jingtai is his father. Although he is an incompetent father, the two parties still have an unspeakable father-son relationship. Completed, now it is just a simple transfer of rights, the time is very short, and the rights obtained by Yang Mao have not really been consolidated.

What's more, the current Great Xia is not peaceful. Internal and external troubles are like a powder keg. A little carelessness will be a catastrophe. One can imagine the pressure in Yang Mao's heart to take over such a Great Xia Dynasty.

Outside the north wind howled, making a shrill sound, the water vapor in the sky condensed, turned into ice crystals and floated down, the earth was stained with silver frost, and soon turned white.

In the outer room of Ming Zheng’s residence, the people of Chuzhong added charcoal fires to ensure that the indoor temperature was suitable, and then began to sort out Emperor Jingtai’s belongings on a daily basis. Touching these clothes, the people of Chuzhong sometimes fell into memories, from youth, to middle age, to old age, until Now, Emperor Jingtai is really dying, and will die in old age.

The people in Chuzhong are sad, they want to save but they are unable to do so. Even though the people in Chuzhong are heavenly beings with supreme power beyond ordinary people, they can't beat the iron law of birth, old age, sickness and death in the world. They can only sigh a long sigh, showing their loneliness.

"Crack...crack..."

A burst of hurried footsteps came from outside the door, braving the wind and snow with great strides, the people of Chuzhong were highly cultivated, with sharp ears and eyes, and could clearly hear the small sound of stepping on the snow, as well as the long breathing sound of the visitor, the sound came from afar. Get close, come quickly to your side.

"In a hurry!"

People in Chuzhong knew that if there was nothing important, no one would disturb Emperor Jingtai's cultivation at this time.

Standing up, Chu Zhongren gently opened the door and went out. After a few breaths, a figure covered in wind and snow galloped quickly. After seeing the Chuzhong man, the man knelt down on one knee, took out a hot-stamped envelope with body temperature from his arms and said:

"Governor, this is an urgent request from the Hidden Guard of Northern Xinjiang!"

Hearing that this was an urgent request from Northern Xinjiang, the people from Central Chu reached out to take the envelope and tore off the hot stamp. Seeing this, the messenger of the Hidden Guard retreated slowly. After the letter was delivered, there was no need to stay behind.

For the great victory in Northern Xinjiang, the Chuzhong people had already received letters from the Northern Xinjiang garrison a few days ago, and it was the Heijun who dispatched to sweep the Northern Xinjiang. The Chuzhong people did not doubt this great victory, but for People in Chuzhong did not dare to believe the contents of the letter from the northern Xinjiang garrison, so they used the hidden secret line of the secret guard to understand the situation.

Today, the Stone people and the Tatars have retreated to the extreme north, leaving behind a large area of ​​land, and a large amount of property and supplies that are too late to take away.

How massive is the wealth of a race!

There are countless gold, silver and jewels. These are the treasures that the Stone people and the Tatars have plundered from going south over the years, looting a large number of towns, and their wealth is unimaginable.

There are also weapons, armor, horses, food, mountain goods, and furs. These are the supplies and equipment of millions of people. With these, it is enough to create a strong army.

The last is the land, the vast northern grassland. This is a natural horse farm, and it can also raise a large number of cattle and sheep. If the generals stationed on the frontier have a different heart, they can immediately separate themselves and become kings, replacing the original Tatars. position, leaving endless disasters.

Money is the courage of a hero, how many heroes are difficult for it, and a penny of money is difficult for a hero, telling the helplessness and bitterness of it.

On the contrary, endless wealth can breed unparalleled courage, and the inner ambition grows like weeds on the wasteland.

In modern society, after the barbaric and wealthy businessmen of big capitalists own wealth that can rival the country, their ambitions further expand, and then they want to seek political discourse and control. They publish books, give speeches everywhere, manipulate the media as their mouthpieces, and publicize public opinion. Overwhelm the sky and cover the sky, trying to deify it, so as to brainwash the masses, kidnap the government, and pave the way for their own political plots.

But because of its ugly, bloody nature of exploitation is not based on righteousness, once the people wake up, these big capitalist businessmen will naturally be knocked down from the altar.

These big capitalist businessmen without guns and artillery have such ambitions, let alone those generals with strong troops.

Originally, the Great Xia court controlled the logistics supplies and could restrict the northern garrison, but at this moment, the northern garrison seized a large amount of food, money and other materials, and also occupied northern Xinjiang. At this time, the northern garrison had people, money, and food. There is also land, which has formed a de facto separatist regime.

Holding the letter in his hand, the Chuzhong man glanced at ten lines, his original serious expression gradually turned livid, and anger surged in his heart.

In the letter, the hidden line of the Hidden Guard made an estimate of the seizures in Beijiang, which far exceeded the number of seizures mentioned by the Beijiang garrison.

Corruption and corruption can be tolerated by Chuzhong people, but when the water is clear, there will be no fish. If these wealth can fill the appetite of the troops stationed in northern Xinjiang, why not give up some money?

But this time there were too many seizures. In addition, it was mentioned in the letter that the noble generals stationed in the northern border began to transfer their family power, build cities, and divide their own interests.

Of course, the people of Chuzhong understand that there is a high probability that these honorable families who have lived with the country will not rebel, but just hope to protect themselves and preserve and continue their own power to the maximum extent.

In history, how many honorable families lost power due to power struggles and went into decline, and even extreme ones were deliberately killed by the emperor. Ordinary people know that all eggs cannot be put in one basket, so these honorable families do not understand this truth!

It's just that this kind of suspicion and precaution is very hurtful. Isn't this just telling everyone that they don't trust the emperor, the court, and nobles?

Of course, this is also related to the catastrophe decades ago, no one would feel at ease to hand over his wealth and life to others.

"Hey! The power of the royal family has declined. If it was before, how dare they act like this!"

The people in Chuzhong looked gloomy and sighed. As the great companion of Emperor Jingtai, they have been hand in hand with each other for decades, and the emotions between the two can be imagined.

People in Chuzhong are heavenly beings with supreme power. Although they call themselves servants on weekdays, as a real strong man, people in Chuzhong are equal to Emperor Jingtai. If there is oppression and disharmony, people in Chuzhong will naturally abandon it. go.

How many childhood partners, there will be no intersection at a certain moment, barriers will be born in the mind to isolate each other, just like two crossed lines, only intersect each other at a certain moment, and then they will never intersect again.

People in Chuzhong have been able to have acquaintance with Emperor Jingtai for dozens of years, and there is no embarrassment in their hearts, because the two are people of the same path and have similar values. Be friends with each other, and your partner is a true confidant.

Saying that, the Chuzhong people looked into the house, one was the aging emperor, and the other was the immature new king, it was the weak period of the alternation of the old and the new, and the Chuzhong people understood that at this time, everything should be based on maintaining stability, Xiang Xun It's really inappropriate to shoot expensively, so we can only compromise.
