Zhao Ming was frightened by Yunzhou County's background, and he returned to his position blankly without saying a word.
After Ye Yin discussed the matter of defending the city with a group of senior officials, everyone immediately took the order and dispersed to arrange the tasks they had received.
When everyone left, only Ye Yin, Zhao Ming and their attendants were left in the ceremony hall.
Zhao Ming suddenly looked up at his younger sibling and asked, "Yunzhou County is strong enough for Lao Liu to return to the capital. Why does he want to guard Yunzhou County?"
Ye Yin is not stupid, and naturally understands what the prince really means is that the strength of Yunzhou County is completely enough for Zhao Jun to return to the capital to compete for the position of crown prince. Why is he still guarding his one-third of an acre of land without revealing it? Do you have any intention of competing with him?
Ye Yin was also confused at first. When she got married and gradually understood the strength of Yunzhou County, he also asked Zhao Jun, with such strength, why didn't he return to Beijing to compete for the position of heir apparent?
As a prince, it's okay if he doesn't have any strength, but since he has the corresponding strength, isn't it natural to win the throne?
As for Zhao Jun having been granted the title of king and vassalage, this is not a problem at all.
Rules are always made for the weak. If you are worse than the officials and emperors who uphold the rules, then you will naturally have no choice but to accept their requests, their rules, and go step by step to seize the treasure according to their ideas.
But if your own strength far exceeds theirs, then at this time, you don't have to take into account anyone's rules at all, and your own ideas will dominate.
This is the difference between having strength and not having strength. If you have the ability to flip the table, then you have privileges on the card table!
But the answer Zhao Jun gave her surprised her.
First of all, I am tired!
According to Zhao Jun, yes.
I am just a prince and there are so many troubles that bother me every day. Millions of people under my command open their mouths and wait for me to feed them like baby birds waiting for food.
If he really became a prince and an emperor, he would have to face hundreds of millions of people!
Don't do it! Don't do it!
In Zhao Jun’s opinion, the prince? emperor?
Those are two social animals who wake up earlier than chickens and go to bed later than dogs every day!
Although I am not the emperor now, but we have the strength, who can control me?
Not an emperor, but better than an emperor, and you don’t have to do 996 every day, aren’t you happy?
Another main reason is that he was raised by the queen. Although the queen did not show any love to him, most of the time she just let him do nothing.
But at least they didn't starve him, didn't treat him coldly, and didn't deliberately target him. He also received the princely education he deserved!
For a child who was not born by herself, it is very rare for the queen to be able to do these things!
This is a kind of nurturing grace for yourself.
Zai Ze said that it was the prince's care when he was a child that allowed him to grow up safely in the cruel palace. No one really thought that a prince who lost his mother at birth could grow up safely without any illness or disaster. Bullying is a normal thing, right?
There are some things that even if Zhao Jun is a time traveler, he is still helpless when faced with such a small situation. He only relied on the help of the prince to survive the dangers one after another.
How could I compete with the prince for that position?
This is also the reason why Zhao Jun's power has never expanded into the pass, because in his subconscious, it is the place of the prince.
You can’t steal it yourself!
Although it is said that because of his death in his previous life, Zhao Jun is a bit ruthless in his actions now.
But he can still do it if his grudges are clear.
Of these two reasons, Ye Yin naturally knew which one she should say, and replied with a smile: "Because His Highness is the Crown Prince."
Zhao Ming was stunned, and his expression became complicated.
After answering this question, Ye Yin didn't say anything more and turned around and left the meeting hall.
…
Yumen Pass, as the first great pass of the Song Dynasty in the northwest, was the gateway of the Song Dynasty in the northwest. It not only played an important role in defending against the Xiongnu attack, but also played an important role in connecting the Western Regions for the Central Plains dynasty during the previous dynasty.
Generally, there are few changes in the officials here. For such an important level, the court prefers to keep it stable.
But just half a month ago, suddenly there was an order from above that the former guard general of Yumen Gate was transferred to the capital, and they welcomed a new guard general.
A fat general who has difficulty walking!
Ding Changchun!
On the first day after he took office, Quan Yu couldn't help but feel a sudden change in his heart when he closed the door. He saw that he was the master with great authority in the local government.
What they mean is that they are not good people, let alone a good official!
Sure enough, on the first day that Ding Changchun took office, everyone's military pay was inexplicably delayed.
Originally, Yumenguan only had to pay the imperial tax. The tax rate also increased from one to seven types!
What is the road wear and tear tax, what is the city entry tax, and if something exceeds the amount, you will be charged an extra tax.
There are also road cleaning taxes, opening taxes, etc.
In short, there is only one purpose!
"Search for money!"
Yumen was complaining endlessly when he closed the door, but there was nothing he could do about it.
But on this day, the originally peaceful Yumen Pass began to shake slightly. A familiar veteran immediately judged that this was the news that a large-scale cavalry was coming, and he immediately passed the news on.
But the result is that the guard drank wine last night and is still asleep now, unable to get up at all!
When I wanted to go forward to report, what I got was the raised chins and two dark nostrils of the soldiers.
What is your identity? Do you deserve to see the Lord Guard?
Watchdog, just watch your door honestly and don't do anything beyond your status!
In an instant, his fists clenched loudly, but when he thought of his family, he weakly let go.
Okay, what more can you say?
People call them watchdogs, so just go back and watch the door. What else can little people like them do?
In this way, one hundred thousand Huns cavalry passed by Yumen Pass in a mighty manner and headed towards the Tatar grassland. The entire Yumen Pass seemed to be blind. No one reported the matter, or there was no way to report it.
When Yunzhou County received the news, the Xiongnu were less than three hundred miles away from Dingyang City, which was closest to the Xiongnu grassland.
It was because the secret guards stationed at Yumen Pass used flying eagles to send messages that they were able to get the news back before the Xiongnu did.
After receiving the news, Yunzhou County immediately ordered that the three cities of Dingyang, Yunzhong and Yunzhou enter a state of emergency from now on. The city gates are only accessible and cannot be exited, and all unidentified persons in the city are strictly investigated.
Anyone without an identity card will be strictly controlled by the government during the state of emergency until the state of emergency is lifted.
All production in the three cities, except for necessary livelihood facilities, was stopped. Civilian use was converted to military use. The workshops in each city began to produce all kinds of military supplies to cope with the upcoming war!
Princess Yun even stepped forward personally and gave the latest instructions in an interview with Yunzhou Daily.
The three cities of Yunzhou need to unite to tide over the difficulties during the war. The governments of each city must control the prices of people's livelihood supplies and other supplies at reasonable prices. If anyone dares to make war fortune at this time, the Yun Palace will personally take action without mercy. We will handle such incidents mercilessly. Prince Yun’s Mansion will uphold a zero-tolerance attitude towards such incidents!
As soon as this news came out, some cautious merchants immediately restrained themselves.
During the days when Zhao Jun was away, Princess Ye Yin showed the entire Yunzhou City her skills as the daughter of a general.
No one would doubt Princess Yun's execution of what she said!
All those who suspected were either dead or dragged away to build roads.
The infrastructure industry in Yunzhou County has always been short of manpower...
