Chapter 2034 Arriving at the Fief

A week passed quickly. During this week, the capital of the Eastern Empire seemed to have become a new capital. The former location of the huge Linghu family has now become a flat land. Yes, His Majesty's anger is very powerful, he directly ordered all the places of the Linghu family to be moved out, and all the signs of the Linghu family in the entire city were removed, and the properties of the Linghu family were also destroyed. The division is over, no matter who the various families of the royal family are, as long as they do it, and then take out enough money, these places that were unthinkable before are yours. It doesn't matter what you use them for, as long as they are with you The original Linghu family has nothing to do with it. The emperor can certainly make himself feel more at ease by doing this, but it will also cause him a lot of losses. If he can manage this place well by himself, he will definitely get better benefits .

Many ministers in the court also told His Majesty the emperor about this matter. If the royal family is allowed to accept the assets of the Linghu family, the royal family will expand by at least 50% in an instant, but His Majesty the Emperor cannot wait so long , This time the rebellion of the Linghu family almost made him unable to step down. This kind of thing must not happen in the future, so he must quickly disintegrate the Linghu family. At the same time, the major families in the capital They have also been affected to a certain extent. If you send troops to help His Majesty the Emperor, then you can get by. At least you will not suffer any losses because of this incident. Those who sit on the wall and want to wait and see will suffer a big loss. Don't you want to wait and see? Don't you want to preserve your strength? Now that the Linghu family has failed, I have freed up millions of troops. If you can't get along with me, your family will disappear immediately.

Under such circumstances, all the ministers and all the noble classes dared not say anything more. His Majesty's imperial edicts were sent out of the capital one by one, and earth-shaking changes took place in various places. After such rectification, His Majesty the Emperor left the capital. Among them, more than 20 million troops have been rectified. These troops are very good, because they are the elite of the major families in the capital. During the last rebellion. Don't you guys help me? Now I let you become soldiers of the empire. Now you are all soldiers of the empire and have nothing to do with your original supervisor. Of course, it is very clear whether you have contacted His Majesty the Emperor secretly. You stay in the capital is a bunch of bombs. But throwing you at the border, you are the cornerstone of helping me defend the border. His Majesty the Emperor directly sent all these troops to the northern battlefield. Although there is no war there, the defense there needs to be strengthened, right?

During the rectification, the major families dared not speak out. Everyone knows that His Majesty the Emperor is like a frog at this time, and it is the kind of angry frog. If you go out again, the anger may be sent to you. This is not something ordinary families can bear, the emperor. His majesty's own decision-making mistakes are unlucky for the following. At the beginning, many people told his majesty to take action against the Linghu family slowly. He must not act too hastily. Things, in his opinion, the Linghu family will never change and rebel, let alone this kind of rebellion. It's a pity that the Linghu family really did that, and at the last day In an instant, His Majesty was almost killed. In the eyes of His Majesty, such a thing is the greatest shame and humiliation in this life? Something that I didn't expect happened at all, how to face all the common people.

How did His Majesty the Emperor explain it to the common people? Could it be that standing in front of the common people and saying that your emperor is a stupid guy, he never thought of these things at all, he knew that they were all things in his mind, these things were completely different from what actually happened, so the common people would What do you think of the emperor? The common people will say that our leader is an idiot, why should we go forward with him? If we follow such an idiot and the prospect of our future life, how miserable it is. Now this matter can be controlled It’s okay to say, what should we do if something out of our control happens in the future? This is a question that many people need to think about. His Majesty the Emperor absolutely cannot tolerate such a thing to continue, so His Majesty the Emperor started a vigorous change in the entire empire, which is also called ZTE restructuring.

Among the four great empires, the Middle East Empire can be said to be the most conventional empire. Except for opening up a large amount of territory on the ocean, the Eastern Empire is studying history in other places. They will not try other changes, because the Eastern Empire Compared with the other three empires, it is a relatively feudal country. It can be said that there is no connection between him and the other three empires. However, when the other three empires come and go with each other, they can communicate with each other. Taking advantage of each other's strengths, it can be calculated that the development of the three major empires is much better than that of the Eastern Empire, but the strength of the Eastern Empire itself is very strong. People continue to develop very slowly. Such things are very confusing. Many people in the Eastern Empire do not understand why they want to reform at this time, but they can only listen to the emperor's challenge. .

The changes in the Eastern Empire have also attracted the attention of the other three empires. The main source of news for the other three empires is the Cao’s House from Li Cong’s side. The news of the empire is sold to the other three empires, and the news of the other three empires is sold to some people in the Eastern Empire. Both parties can say that they want to know each other, but they don't have any information transmission system now. Cao's House of Commerce has actually done this, and it is their own problem if they don't make such money. Although the Eastern Empire despises Cao's House of Commerce, Cao's House of Commerce still wants to get some superficial news. No problem, these things can be exchanged for gold and silver just by talking. Why not go into such a business? Li Cong is not stupid either, he would be stupid if he didn't earn money, we would not do such a thing, and now our loss is really not small.

Some hidden strongholds of Cao's House of Commerce in the territory of the Eastern Empire were also dug out by the royal family. In the past, people from His Majesty's side knew about these strongholds of Cao's House of Commerce, but most of them turned a blind eye. Just one eye, after all, there is cooperation and confrontation with Cao's Commercial Bank, and you can't do everything too extreme for the side that has cooperation, and sometimes you need to make a detour. But now the Cao family firm has rescued the members of the Linghu family. This is equivalent to planting a huge landmine for the Eastern Empire. I don’t know when this position will explode, and it may pull the Eastern Empire into the abyss of turmoil again. After all, the Linghu family also operates in the whole country. It's been a long time. Their strength is not showing weakness. Sometimes these things can be done directly. But sometimes they haven't discovered it yet, and it's very easy for them to do something, if they don't catch the fat hands of the Linghu family. It is still very difficult to kill them.

In view of this reason, His Majesty the Emperor naturally does not want to have any more cooperation with the Cao's House of Commerce, so with an order, the strongholds of the Cao's House of Trade have been pulled up all over the country. Of course, this is all on the surface, and secretly There are still some, but the proportion of this part is very small, not even 5%. The time Cao's firm entered the Eastern Empire is still too short, and the understanding of the Eastern Empire is too little, especially some islands of the Eastern Empire. In fact, Cao's House of Commerce has not yet figured it out, and is proceeding step by step. Who knows, the Linghu family's rebellion also defeated Li Cong's plan and completely defeated Li Cong's plan. It is really difficult for the Eastern Empire to continue to develop. It is hard to say anything about this time. After all, the Linghu family is like a bereaved dog. What they need is their own help, not their own records. If you throw a stone down, then the Linghu family is really looking for trouble!

The Eastern Empire first carried out reforms, which was the reform of the army. In the past, everyone might have controlled a legion. After this rebellion, His Majesty the Emperor will not let any legion fall into the hands of a family, and let a family control it. An army of tens of millions is really a terrible thing. Although the Linghu family didn't have many armies in the past, one piece here and one piece there, but when to find them, the royal family didn't even get a little struggle. Let these troops arrive in the capital, let them come in as much as possible to cause this rebellion, a large-scale nationwide mobilization has begun, especially the senior officers, and His Majesty the Emperor issued a new order. The army will stay for two years and then be transferred to other places. This has created a situation where the generals do not know the soldiers, and the soldiers do not know the generals. This is a very effective measure for strengthening the central government and can bring There are certain disadvantages.

This shortcoming may not be obvious in a short time, but it is very easy to see it after a long time, especially on the battlefield. It is the decline in the combat effectiveness of the army. Most of the subordinates of some high-ranking military officers are with them. How can there be such so-called feelings in two years?

Many ministers of the Ministry of War and leading generals in various places are very disgusted with this decision. First of all, many people want to protect their own interests. In their opinion, what is the purpose of serving as a soldier for the rest of their lives? It is to keep a brother who will share life and death with him, so that even if he encounters something, he will have a care. With so many troops under his command, His Majesty the Emperor will consider what he thinks when he does things. If he doesn't want to, he won't force himself. Now that he is transferred every two years, His Majesty doesn't have to think too much about himself. He can do whatever he wants. These soldiers will only trust the empire in the end. strength, and their boss is only their boss for two years, fooling around, as long as the face is passable, naturally they don't have much respect in their hearts, such things make these senior generals feel very uncomfortable, they premeditated Mori?

In a person who really thinks about the empire, everyone knows that a powerful general and his army will call him by his name, this is a screaming army. This is an army that can make great achievements on the battlefield, but now, His Majesty the Emperor has broken everything. In two years, a legion commander is familiar with tens of millions of people in the entire legion. Is two years enough? , Even if it is ten years, I dare not say that it is an iron bucket. Two years is too little. These generals have no selfish considerations in their hearts, and they are all considered by the empire. They all hope that His Majesty the Emperor can take back this order. These issues can be considered with the actual situation in the army, but unfortunately, His Majesty the Emperor did not adopt their opinions. His Majesty the Emperor is now thinking about how to consolidate his rule. It’s what you said in the future, so think about it later!

Other than that, it's a big family thing. Everyone is not only in the army but also in the central government. Every locality has its own influence, which is absolutely impossible for the royal family. Now it is completely different from before. In the past, His Majesty the Emperor could turn a blind eye, but after this rebellion, all the major families must reveal all their affairs. Of course, these big families The family was also lucky, and two of them were ranked among the top 20 in the entire empire. They ushered in the power of their own family, but only confessed some of the superficially exposed ones, and the rest They didn't explain anything, and now they are out of luck. His Majesty the Emperor is afraid that the big families will treat him like this. In the past, this was considered a government decree of the court, but no one took it as a secret. It was just perfunctory. His Majesty the Emperor wants Kill the chicken and respect the monkey.

I was worried that I couldn't find a person who came out to be a mop. Your two families have done such a thing. His Majesty the Emperor has his own secret surveillance system. Yes, it is placed on the table of His Majesty the Emperor, and there is a great way to report to them. What they report is that they understand less than 50% of them. This can be said to be hidden. Most of the strength, Under the anger of the emperor, more than 300,000 troops directly surrounded the lairs of these two big families. What are they going to do with them? Many people in the capital think that the emperor is just doing it for other people. Look, these two families have been passed down for over a hundred years, and it is impossible to destroy them directly, but when they woke up the next day, something that surprised them happened, His Majesty the Emperor directly wiped out these two families Yes, all the men were arrested, and all the women were sold.

Although this is not the most serious way of punishing the nine clans, it has also aroused a little discussion within the entire empire. Everyone has seen the sincerity of His Majesty the Emperor. It seems that these big families are really going to be rectified. It is absolutely impossible to appear. In the past, these people had their own manors and their own army. It can be said that it is not far from a country within a country, right? Even so, His Majesty the Emperor did not pursue you, so that when the entire empire was in danger, you could contribute your own strength. Unfortunately, you did not do that. When the empire was in danger, the life of His Majesty the Emperor was in danger When it was dangerous, you didn't take photos of your own army. You just wanted to preserve your strength and wealth. Your Majesty the emperor doesn't need ministers like this. These two big families are the beginning, and the rest may be There will be many, several big families who want to unite.

Now that His Majesty the Emperor has already planned to do something, will he still let you unite? Then if this can unite you, the IQ of His Majesty the Emperor is about the same as that of a five-year-old child. After His Majesty moved these two families, he immediately set up the time for the court meeting again and took the elders of the other major families It’s all under control, and the name is to stay and chat with His Majesty the Emperor. As long as you leaders can’t go back and stay in the palace, the next generation of your family will not dare to rise up to resist no matter how good they are. Hundreds of thousands of high-headed horses with the imperial army flag shuttled back and forth in the capital. Their purpose was only one, to fight a few big families hard, and to destroy all the strengths of the eight big families that were not on the surface. After two days and two nights of struggle, hundreds of thousands of corpses appeared in the capital, not even the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled were spared.

When these old guys chatting with His Majesty the Emperor came out of the capital, they were followed by 50% of their family members, and the remaining 50% were all killed by His Majesty because they did not report last time. Well, it turns out that the top 20 families in the entire empire, if they add up to 100% strength, now he can't reach 40% every year, and the remaining 60% are all killed by His Majesty the Emperor. This move of His Majesty the Emperor can be said to be very huge. I didn't expect this guy to take the risk and succeed. He felt that he was too kind in the past. If you can't move here, you can't mess around. Everyone saved enough face. If you give them face, they will give themselves face. This rebellion gave His Majesty the emperor a beating. They didn't give themselves face, and they didn't even give them any face. Now they don't have to give it.

The big families were driven out of the capital, and except for some necessary people, all the others had to go back to their fief, which was inside their fief before. Just set up a few officials. He is completely different from before now. As many troops as your own in the fief, you must have as many troops from the imperial court. Before entering, 100% of the tax revenue was all yours. Now 40% of the tax revenue has to be handed over to the central government for 20% Taxes to attack to take your fiefs to protect your head flat the remaining 40 percent. It is still your own. Income was cut by more than half at once. This big family is really very dissatisfied, but even if they are dissatisfied, they dare not stand up and say the fault of His Majesty the Emperor at this time, of course they dare not. Everyone watched their own family suffer a disastrous defeat, and if they resisted now, it would simply be courting death and giving other families a chance!

His Majesty the Emperor is not a fool, and neither are the other big families. Whoever dares to go out and stand out will definitely be beaten by His Majesty the Emperor, so what they can do now is to bite their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs , other than this method, there is no other way, the capital seems to be quiet all of a sudden, there are so many people, not so many dudes and not so many big scenes, His Majesty the Emperor also feels a certain degree of security , These people are in the fief, my own army, I will take good care of them, and they will also take care of the place for themselves, they are all smart people, they should understand what His Majesty needs now, as long as it is After you can manage your fiefs well, His Majesty the Emperor may allow you to return to the capital. The first batch of big families who took action have just left the capital in an all-round way, and went to the local area to enrich the local power.

There are also comments on His Majesty the Emperor in the world. This central restructuring has also brought the entire empire into a new stage of development. Some youngsters who were driven back to the fief by His Majesty the Emperor are very talented. Give them a platform, and they will Create many miracles for you. In the past, they were in the capital on this platform. There are too many dignitaries in the capital, and they can't show it. It is a very painful life for these people to come to the capital. All their abilities have been wiped out, and there is no place for them to express their talents in any restaurants other than drinking and fighting for wealth. Even if they are given a county magistrate in the local area, they will try their best to return to the capital. This place has been developed with brainpower. One or several other places are completely different. A little increase will greatly increase the strength of the entire Eastern Empire. His Majesty the Emperor has taken the right step.

Regarding the forces within the royal family, His Majesty the Emperor also has his own reforms. In the past, he always believed that his uncles and brothers could be trusted, but now after this rebellion, His Majesty the Emperor has also seen it. I don't even believe in more than 20% of the people, and the remaining 80% are a group of idiots, a group of timid and fearful people. These people are basically useless to the entire empire, and it is useless to have these royal family members , so His Majesty the Emperor also gave them some small places one after another. When the empire was established, the enfeoffment system was eliminated, but now His Majesty the Emperor has started this again because these royal children continue to rot in the capital, and the entire royal family may be defeated. , something that must never happen must let them go.

His Majesty the Emperor issued another decree. Members of the royal family who are still under the age of 40 must leave the capital to go to any place in the country. Treat it as your fief, of course, this is only temporary, not to say that it belongs to you forever, as long as you make some achievements, this place will belong to you forever, but after you go, you will only fish and eat the common people You didn’t do anything, it should be said that you didn’t do any decent things, then you can cut off your head and hang it in your fief. The hundreds of millions of royal children in the entire empire can say that you are one more than you. Not a lot. Even if you are really killed, under His Majesty's wrath, no one will stand up and say something for you? The children of the royal family were immediately dumbfounded. Originally, they felt that the children of the ministers had left and they would be lonely, but they didn't expect that they would also leave now.

Originally, I thought this was just an event with a lot of thunder and rain, that is, to let some children of the clan with low titles go out, and some children of the rich and powerful would never go out. They are used to living in the capital. Over the years, they They have already developed a pampered living habit, but they don't have that heart or idea when they go outside to fight hard. One by one, what I think about is how to be comfortable and how to live in the future? And the family has enough money to keep them going. Going to the bottom to fight has never appeared in their minds. When His Majesty's will has not come down, they thought it was better than those outside, but it was the stipulated day. His Majesty's army has arrived. Those who were waiting for them were pulled out of their house instead of coming to discuss with them. The carriages sent outside ran towards the places they prescribed. On the road, some of them had to travel for several months to get there.

Many rich and powerful children did not expect that they would also be on the list. They all thought that this house was a royal residence, but it was different from those earls and marquises. Although those were also nobles, they could only be regarded as very good nobles in the local area, and they didn't have their own in the court at all. What they all think is to show those people. We are real nobles. The royal family will not let us go to the fiefdom and leave the capital. Everyone knows that the children of the clan belong to the entire dynasty. The cornerstone, if there is a second heart among the clan's children, this dynasty will not last long. They will continue to live in their own homes like before, and there will be no change at all. This is a thought in my heart The things we are all afraid of, what will happen when that day really comes? Would the royal family really send someone to capture them to their fiefdom?

Naturally, the children of the royal family who disobeyed orders each had their own ideas. They were indeed somewhat different from the children of other clans. Their fathers or grandfathers were princes, and there were more than a dozen of them in the entire Eastern Empire. There are dozens of county palaces in the Prince's Mansion. These people can be regarded as relatively high-ranking people in the royal family. They can't be the same as those earls and marquises for the time being. Ordinary people are no different, they don't even have the qualifications to go to the pilgrimage, and they only have one chance to enter the palace every year, but these children of the royal family are different from them. On top of them, the emperor's son and grandson are compared to them It is a little lower, and the others are simply not at the same level compared with them, especially those royal palaces are capital, and the status of the emperor's sons who generally have no inheritance rights is not as good as theirs. Their status is indeed very high.

It was the day of the deadline again, these dudes continued to live that kind of life in this house, but their housekeeper ran back directly, saying that the imperial army had arrived, and the carriage was ready for them, and they had to go to their fief Go, this is an order from His Majesty the Emperor. No one can disobey it. It is indeed an order from the Emperor of the Empire. In the future, it can be remembered that all of them will go to the fief, so who will the royal family in the capital keep? This is the brilliance of His Majesty the Emperor. The future of your empire, if you believe in people like this, will also be the cornerstone of the future of the empire, but what are you all now? Apart from eating, drinking and having fun, you can do nothing. If the future of the empire depends on you, you must be trained to become the cornerstone of the empire? Apart from eating, drinking and having fun, you don’t know anything. If the future of the empire is in your hands, then the entire empire will not be far away. You must go out and exercise yourself before you can return to the capital. .

But those princes were also dumbfounded. To be selected as the heir to the palace, they naturally knew that they were capable. Although the weight in the prince's heart was very important, they never thought that their sons would go to those remote places. The dozen or so princes of the good guy didn't care about how early in the morning, and all of them were ready to see the emperor, but when they arrived at the palace, they found that the doors of the palace were closed tightly, and they didn't want to see them at all. It means that there is an imperial decree coming out of it. Let them go back by themselves. If they don’t care about their son’s future, they will continue to wait at the gate of the palace. If they want their son to have a future and serve the entire empire, then go home and pack their son well. That's it, His Majesty's words are very vicious, if you continue to make trouble here regardless of your son's future, if you still have scruples, just go home honestly, these princes also know the depth Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to go home honestly after the imperial decree came down.

The princes all returned to their homes dejectedly, and told their housekeepers and insiders to accompany their son to prepare things properly, and not to have other ideas. This can be regarded as one aspect of His Majesty's test of them. Give them a chance, if they can do well, let alone return to the capital, even if they come back, it is a very normal thing to be promoted, if he can't do well, it will prove that you are incompetent. All fathers also hope that their sons can be the capable ones. So they also called their sons to the study and gave them good instructions. These princes have bought princes for decades or even hundreds of years, and they suddenly have a little certainty in their minds, and now they can't wait to give these things to their sons. Some palaces sent out dozens of sons and hundreds of good grandchildren at once. These people are very important people in the local area. They are different from the capital city. They have to discipline their children and grandchildren well.

When Huang Guihua didn't go out of the capital these days, they would find that they were just ordinary people, and on the way, they saw the map and knew where they were going? The places I'm going to are all places where the Linghu family's influence is very serious. His Majesty the Emperor sent these royal children to these places to tell the people here that you are also the people of the Eastern Empire, and we will not treat you differently. Of course, if you are the only one among you who wants to have an affair with the Linghu family, these royal children will never be soft-hearted. Parents have taught these children since childhood that the lives of ordinary people are worthless. To sacrifice some ordinary people for the prosperity of the entire empire That's a very normal thing. As long as the empire is safe, it's up to you how to do it. His Majesty the Emperor allows it.

After more than a week, the Linghu family and Li Congxue have arrived at the fief of the Linghu family. In the fief of the Linghu family, preparations have already begun. On the surface, the Linghu family is also the fief of this province. We are about to attack here, and tens of millions of troops outside have already sealed off the entire province. This time, the imperial court has made a serious move. They will definitely not let it go, mainly because of what the Linghu family did this time. It's really too serious. If there is any special plane, His Majesty's face will be lost.

The riots started when they stepped off the airship. More than 3,000 troops belonging to the Eastern Empire rebelled. They demanded to return to the territory of the Eastern Empire, not on the territory of the Linghu family. The elders of the Linghu family released The measure to go on is to violently suppress them, directly surround them and kill them all. It can be said that after the news of the death of these 3,000 people spread, the hundreds of millions of troops also began to riot, and there were more than hundreds of millions of imperial courts. What about these people in the Chinese army? Are you going to kill them all? After the news of the death of these 3,000 people came out, the hundreds of millions of troops also started to mobilize Old Dong. Although they hadn't flagrantly raised the banner of rebellion, each of them felt restless in their hearts. Thinking about my future, I used to be a serious imperial army, but now they are under control, and they have all become rebels. This reputation is easier said than done, but it is very difficult. Their families are all in On the territory of the Eastern Empire, what should we do?

Then you said that the most important thing for the Linghu family now is to solve these problems properly, and see how to stabilize the imperial army, even if they don't let them go back, even if they don't provide some combat power These people should be turned into ordinary people. They are all young and middle-aged. If they leave, it will be a very big loss for the Linghu family, but the older generation of the Linghu family no longer want to listen to Linghu. What the young master said, they think that the young master Linghu is appeasing the adulterers now, if they don't kill these people now, they will work together inside and outside to bring a large number of ordinary people to the Eastern Empire, and these old guys are already in their hearts. They have made up their minds, they don't want young master Linghu to continue to lead the Linghu family. Under his leadership, the entire Linghu family can be said to have suffered a complete defeat, and now they want to take back the leadership.

Young master Linghu and Li Cong had already fully anticipated all these changes, so the two of them did not panic about such a thing. The soldiers are on full alert, and their fighting power is still very strong. The background of the old guys of the Linghu family in the fief is not comparable to that of the young master Linghu. The main forces of the young master Linghu are all in the capital. After a rebellion, his own direct line troops were completely gone. Although many people in the fief recognized him as the leader, most of them still acted according to the winks of those old men, so his life was also very difficult. He has reached the limit of his patience for more than a week. He must quickly put all these old guys under house arrest, otherwise an internal rebellion will start. His Majesty has nothing to do with himself. Get messed up first.

Whenever a group starts to change from within, external things will also cause some changes to occur, but generally speaking, external changes are not too severe, only some internal changes are the most important This is why Young Master Linghu is so scared.

Now that His Majesty's army has arrived outside, there is not much time left for the Linghu family. There are still many people in the family who think that they and the royal family are actually of the same ancestor. If they can tell the royal family well Said, it is estimated that there may be room for redemption, Li Cong really doesn't know what to say about these people, such a thing is impossible, these people are really a little too naive. Among the royal family and nobles, there are many people who have relatives, but when will these relatives have a real effect? ​​These relationships are indeed very useful in times of peace, but in critical junctures, bullshit is not enough , no one would say that these relations are useful. (To be continued..)
