Zhao Shan saw Tuoba Yanran retching, made a judgment in his mind, and immediately ordered someone to call a doctor. He patted Tuoba Yanran's back and asked with concern: "When did this situation occur? Have you asked a doctor to diagnose it?"
Tuoba Yanran shook his head and said: "I suddenly felt vomiting today, maybe it was because of the fatigue of traveling."
"Don't be careless."
Zhao Shan helped Tuoba Yanran sit down.
After a while, the doctor entered the room and quickly diagnosed Tuoba Yanran. After a moment, the doctor looked joyful and said with cupped hands: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty, Madam is pregnant."
Zhao Shan was also happy in his heart. After asking the doctor to step away, he said, "Yanran, you shouldn't work too hard when you're pregnant with the child. You should pay attention to your health."
Tuoba Yanran also smiled.
Have a child.
She also had the continuation of her life and spiritual sustenance.
Tuoba Yanran couldn't feel the movement in her belly for the time being because she had just become pregnant. But in her heart, she seemed to feel the throbbing of life, and that feeling of blood connection made her extremely happy.
Tuoba Yanran said softly: "Your Majesty, I will take care of my health. It's just that I'm pregnant, so I can no longer serve Your Majesty."
Zhao Shan shook his head and said: "Children are the most important thing, we can't be careless in the slightest."
Tuoba Yanran leaned beside Zhao Shan happily and talked to Zhao Shan about the child. Because she was pregnant, her mental state changed and she was in excellent spirits.
Zhao Shan comforted Tuoba Yanran before letting him take Tuoba Yanran to rest.
Towards evening, Wang Chengzhong came to the study to meet him.
Wang Chengzhong seemed very excited and high-spirited. But when he saw Zhao Shanhou, he suppressed all emotions and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, I am here to pay my respects."
Zhao Shan asked: "Has the matter in Jizhou been handled properly?"
"It's been taken care of!"
Wang Chengzhong responded quickly, handed over a thick book, and then reported: "Reporting to Your Majesty, after the traitor Zhao Fan was executed, all his direct descendants were killed, leaving no trace of trouble."
"Extending from the Zhao thief outwards, 168 close officials of the Zhao thief were eradicated and more than 16,000 people were exiled."
"Because the involvement was extensive and many official positions were vacant, I promoted talented people from Jizhou to take office quickly. Jizhou is currently stable."
"After Zhao Fan's remnants have been cleaned up, we can continue to clean up some fish that slipped through the net."
"After killing Zhao Fan this time, we captured tens of thousands of weapons, more than 30,000 sets of armor, 460,000 taels of gold, 8 million taels of silver, and countless copper coins."
Wang Chengzhong said solemnly: "During the period when the Zhao thieves controlled Jizhou, they squeezed the people, which made the people miserable. The Zhao thieves and their party were enriched, but the people were the only ones who suffered."
Zhao Shan nodded and said: "Kill more than 160 people from Zhao Fan's remaining party. How about capturing them?"
Wang Chengzhong continued: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the remaining members of the Zhao bandit gang are also extremely rich. They have 880,000 taels of gold, more than 6.3 million taels of silver, and countless copper coins."
"There are countless lands and houses that have been cleared, covering all parts of Jizhou."
"The killing of these traitors has released countless people who were hidden by them, and also freed up countless lands and official positions. I have promoted officials and redistributed land to appease the people. At present, people's hearts are stable."
Wang Chengzhong said: "After Zhao Fan was killed, 1.34 million taels of gold and more than 14.3 million taels of silver were collected. There is countless money."
hiss!
Zhao Shan was extremely shocked when he heard this.
Too much money.
It can be called a sudden fortune.
It is said that a gold belt is used for murder and arson, and it is indeed true. This time, Zhao Fan's home was ransacked, Zhao Fan's remaining members were executed, and countless money was collected. With so much money, the national treasury is not so rich.
Simply appalling.
Zhao Shan also knew that Jizhou's geographical location was very important, as it could connect Youzhou and the Northern Wei Dynasty to the north, and Jizhou was rich.
If it were Youzhou, it would be impossible.
Coupled with Zhao Fan's blind plundering, regardless of the life and death of the people, otherwise it would be impossible to have so much money.
Zhao Shan said in a deep voice: "How much money is needed to govern Jizhou?"
Wang Chengzhong understood in an instant and said without hesitation: "Reporting to your majesty, Jizhou has sufficient food and prosperous commerce. To continue to maintain it, only one hundred thousand taels of silver are enough to operate normally. All other gold and silver money will be shipped to Luoyang Send it to the treasury.”
Zhao Shan praised and said: "You govern Jizhou. I hope that Jizhou will be prosperous and you will be able to serve as an official in Luoyang by then. I am in Luoyang, waiting for your good news."
Wang Chengzhong's eyes lit up.
Going to Luoyang to be an official means that he will be promoted to the central government. This is an opportunity. Wang Chengzhong also knew that the premise was that he could govern Jizhou well, otherwise nothing would be discussed.
Wang Chengzhong promised: "Your Majesty, please rest assured and promise to complete the mission."
Zhao Shan nodded and ordered: "Tomorrow morning, I will take the people away and return to Luoyang."
After Wang Chengzhong agreed, he got up and prepared.
Zhao Shan summoned Yue Feipeng and asked Yue Feipeng to guard Jizhou. He also summoned Zhou Huhou alone to arrange the departure tomorrow. After everything was arranged, Zhao Shan and Tuoba Yanran stayed in Jizhou for a day.
The next morning, the army set out to return.
When Zhao Shan returned home in triumph, Hulao was closed.
Wei Fengqing was wearing armor and was fighting with his soldiers to resist the invading Jingzhou army outside the pass.
Previously, Wei Fengqing garrisoned Hulao Pass and was not attacked.
Yesterday morning, 40,000 Jingzhou troops came to attack, and the offensive was like a wave. Wei Fengqing took advantage of Hulao Pass to defend very steadily. After fighting for a while, three thousand Jingzhou soldiers suddenly appeared in Hulao Pass, attacking from both sides.
Wei Fengqing faced the crisis, but he was not afraid in the face of danger. He mobilized his army to destroy the three thousand enemy troops in the city, but suffered huge losses because he blocked the Jingzhou army.
The Jingzhou Army failed yesterday and attacked again today.
Its offensive is even more fierce.
After fighting to this day, Wei Fengqing was covered in blood and very tired, but Wei Fengqing still persevered. She had learned about the battle situation in Youzhou before. Zhao Shan had defeated the Northern Wei Dynasty and was fighting Zhao Fan, the king of Wei in Jizhou.
She believed that Zhao Shan would win.
No matter how difficult it was, Wei Fengqing persisted and guarded Zhao Shan's rear.
The leader of the Jingzhou Army is named Han Qianshan, who is Zhao Rui's brave general. When Han Qianshan came to attack Hulao Pass, he came quietly without any fanfare. He also arranged for three thousand people to break into pieces and sneak into the pass, so as to attack from both inside and outside.
Han Qianshan thought it was a sure win, but he lost.
Han Qianshan watched the army slowly gain the upper hand and shouted: "Wei Fengqing, you are a weak woman, it is not easy for you to delay until today. You can't stop it."
"Switch surrenders. I will recommend you to the King of Chu and let you lead the troops under the King of Chu. Moreover, the King of Chu likes brave women. After you submit, you will have the opportunity to become the King of Chu's woman."
The soldiers followed the shouting, and the news reached the tower. Wei Fengqing was even more furious when he heard it.
Be the woman of Chu King Zhao Rui?
It's like a dog can't spit out ivory from its mouth.
Zhao Shanfeng's handsome face suddenly appeared in Wei Fengqing's mind, and he felt dazed for a moment.
The next moment, Wei Fengqing regained her composure and ordered: "Kill, behead the Jingzhou rebels."
The soldiers were still fighting, and half an hour passed in the blink of an eye. Wei Fengqing's defense at Hulao Gate became increasingly weak, and more and more Jingzhou troops rushed to the tower.
"General Wei, I can't bear it anymore."
"General, let's withdraw. First, withdraw from Hulao Pass and return to Luoyang Imperial City to defend it."
"General Wei, withdraw."
More and more soldiers looked worried.
Because of the fighting in the pass yesterday, Wei Fengqing's generals suffered a lot of losses, otherwise they wouldn't be in such a mess.
Wei Fengqing said loudly: "If we withdraw from Hulao Pass now and wait for your majesty to destroy Zhao Fan, as the defeated generals, how can we go to see your majesty? Today we can only fight to the death. Even if it means death, our Luoyang garrison will never die." Don’t take a step back.”
The soldiers no longer asked for retreat and continued to resist Han Qianshan's attack.
Han Qianshan noticed the fatigue of Hulao Pass, looked quite proud, and ordered: "Hulao Pass is about to be breached, the whole army attacks, rush into Hulao Pass, rush into Luoyang, capture Zhao Shan's woman alive, and capture the civil and military hundred official."
"Boom!"
Just at this moment, the sound of horse hooves rolled like thunder, coming from far to near.
Zhao Shan led three thousand Xuanjia troops and had already returned first. When he saw the Jingzhou army swarming in attack outside Hulao Pass, he shouted: "Emperor Zhao Shan of Daqian ordered the whole army to counterattack and kill the thieves!"
"Emperor Zhao Shan of Daqian ordered the whole army to counterattack and kill the thieves!"
The shouts of the three thousand Xuanjia troops echoed in the air and clearly reached the ears of Wei Fengqing on the tower.
Wei Fengqing suddenly became ecstatic.
His Majesty is back!
