Transmigrated into the book to become the villain prince, the son of the plane to destroy

Changning Palace, Qinzheng Palace.

"Long live, long live, my emperor."

All civil and military officials bowed down together, and the mountain shouted long live.

"Everyone loves to be flat."

Xiao Ji sat on the dragon chair, slowly raised his hand and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

All the officials worshiped again, then got up, left Wen and right Wu divided into two shifts.

Xiao Ji saw his son Xiao Jie in the noble queue again, his face was calm, but his heart was slightly moved.

He also discovered that his son usually doesn't go to court when he has nothing to do, but every time he goes to court, there will always be some disturbances.

He also wanted to know what would happen today.

All civil and military officials also noticed Xiao Jie, and some officials felt a little nervous.

It was the first time that His Royal Highness the King of Qi went to court, and Wang Cheng, the governor of Liangzhou, suffered disaster; the second time to go to court, Huang Yi, the censor Zhongcheng, was dismissed from office.

They were also afraid that it would be their turn to be unlucky this time.

Xiao Jie also found that there was something wrong with the way everyone looked at him, and he couldn't help laughing in his heart. He felt that he was somewhat like the wind vane of the Daning Chaotang, and he would fall wherever he blew.

"If you have something to play, you will retreat."

As usual, Lian Yi, the internal servant, used his sharp voice to question the officials on behalf of the emperor.

Chang Huai, Minister of Honglu Temple, came out and said, "Your Majesty, Huren Prince He Liantai and Prime Minister Ono Tu were ordered by Huren Khan Helianluo to go to Beijing to meet His Majesty. Now they have arrived in the capital and are staying at Honglu Temple. In the post house, waiting to see His Majesty."

Xiao Ji nodded slightly, the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple had reported to him the matter of the Hu people sending envoys to the capital a few days ago, and according to the distance and time, it should be the capital they arrived in the past few days.

"Although there have been many disputes between Hu people and my Daning over the years, those who come are guests. Since they have come from afar, I, Daning, must not lose my courtesy. Tonight, I will hold a banquet to entertain them at the Palace of Qinzheng." , and let these barbarians experience the richness of my Central Plains, and all the noble families will accompany you tonight."

"The ministers obey the order."

All the ministers bowed down and bowed to show their command.

Xiao Ji glanced at Xiao Jie, pondered for a while, and then said to Lian Yi, the internal servant at the side: "My word is that all princes over the age of 16 will attend the dinner tonight. Since Helian Khan sent his My son is coming, how can my son be left behind."

"The slaves obey the order."

Lian Yi bowed his head to accept the order.

"Retreat!"

As soon as Xiao Ji left, all the officials breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Xiao Jie with a lot of kindness.

Xiao Jie is also helpless, because he has something to see his father after the next court, so he came to the court meeting, why are you so frightened and frightened like this!

……

The Hu people are the general name of the Han people for the nomadic peoples in the north, but in fact they are not a unified nation. They are mainly divided into two branches, the Donghu and the Dihu.

Dihu was divided into different tribes. One of them, the Yuwen tribe, once broke into the hinterland of the Central Plains, occupied the entire territory north of the Yangtze River, established its capital in Luoyang, and established the Great Zhou Dynasty. The rule over the Central Plains lasted for more than 80 years.

It wasn't until Ning Taizu Xiao Yan was born in the sky, Ning replaced Liang, sent his army to the Northern Expedition, and broke through Luoyang, and then drove the Yuwen Ministry back to Mobei, ending Dihu's rule over the Central Plains.

Although the Ning Dynasty ended the Yuwen Ministry's rule over the Central Plains, many Dihu tribes still eyeed the Central Plains, especially the Huyan tribe. Serious side trouble.

Until more than 20 years ago, Xiao Ji, who was still King Wuwei at that time, led his army to defeat the Huyan tribe in the land of Hexi.

The Helian tribe learned the lessons of the Yuwen tribe and the Huyan tribe, and realized that a divided Dihu could not compete with a unified Central Plains dynasty.

If you want to take the land of the Central Plains, you must first unify the tribes of the grassland.

Therefore, since the rise of the Helian tribe, apart from occasionally sending a small group of troops to harass the border and loot the people, on the whole they lived in peace with Daning, and no large-scale conflicts or wars broke out between Ninghu and Ninghu.

But this does not mean that the Helian tribe is content with the status quo. On the contrary, the Helian tribe has been frequently using troops against other tribes for many years, and has been committed to integrating the tribes of the grassland and unifying the entire Mobei Dihu.

Today, the Dihuhelian tribe not only occupies the grassland with the most abundant water and grass in the entire Mobei, but also controls the countries in the Western Regions, blocked the Silk Road, and is even more eyeing on the Daning Dynasty.

But Dihu also has a fatal weakness, that is, due to the constraints of the site, production technology and production technology, there is an extreme lack of salt and iron, two important strategic materials. Without salt, their soldiers and horses will be weak, and without refined iron they cannot Forge sharp weapons.

After the Battle of Hexi, in order to eliminate the threat of Dihu to the northern border, the imperial court issued a strict trade ban, prohibiting the flow of salt and iron into Dihu from both the official and the private sector.

Just when Dihu was at a loss, Wang Cheng, the governor of Liangzhou who guarded the northwest, extended an olive branch to the Helian Ministry, and took the initiative to contact Dihu Khan Helianluo, offering to secretly sell salt and iron to Dihu at a high price.

Although Dihu spent a huge amount of money buying salt and iron from Wang Cheng, He Lianluo didn't care at all, because in his opinion, as long as Dihu accumulated enough salt and iron, he would be able to send his troops south. , To wipe out the Central Plains Dynasty in one fell swoop, every tael of silver spent in the end will be returned to his own hands.

It’s just that the good times didn’t last long. It took less than a year for Wang Cheng to smuggle salt and iron from Dihu, and the incident happened. The court also summoned five generals from Liangzhou to Beijing for a joint trial by the three divisions. Two generals went to Beijing, and only two returned to Liangzhou alive. It can be said that Wang Cheng was also cut off with his arms, and his vitality was severely injured, so he did not dare to smuggle salt and iron to the barbarians.

Now that Wang Cheng's source of supply was cut off, Di Hu could only turn his eyes back to the imperial court again. This time, Helian Luo sent his eldest son, Helian Ba, and youngest son, Helian Tuo, to Beijing to meet with the Emperor Xiao Ji of Daning. , I just want to ask the court to reopen the border trade, especially the salt and iron trade.

In order for Ning Chao to agree to their request, He Lianluo was even willing to agree to some harsh conditions, and temporarily swallowed his anger, only waiting to accumulate strength for the future.

As a loyal reader of the original book, Xiao Jie is naturally clear about what Di Huhelian's plan is, and he has also figured out a countermeasure. Today, he is here to vent his father's anger, so as not to blame himself when the time comes Keep it from him, or blame yourself for using him as a gunman.

Companion to the king is like companion to the tiger, this sentence is not only said to the courtiers, but also to the prince.
