Chapter 559

    Among the thousands of cities in Da Zhou, two cities are the most important.


    The most important city in the northern part of the great Zhou Dynasty is, of course, Heyang.


    As the heart of northern China, Heyang city is not only the political, economic and cultural center of northern China, but also the transportation hub of northern China.


    The huge city with a population of one million is almost nourished by the blood and flesh of the whole North.


    In contrast, Jinling, the capital city in the south, naturally has the same treatment as Heyang.


    However, the south of the great Zhou Dynasty has always been much richer than the north, so Jinling City is far ahead of Heyang in terms of material abundance.


    For a long time, people in Jinling City don''t think much of Heyang city people.


    In the eyes of the people in Jinling City, the people in Heyang city are like a group of woodlouse that are not courtesy. Even though Heyang is already the second richest city in the big week, Jinling people still think that Heyang is a country.


    However, this situation is undergoing fundamental changes in the recent period.


    At first, a kind of wine, a specialty of Heyang, was brought into Jinling by business trips.


    As soon as this wine named immortal drunk appeared in Jinling City, it immediately caused an uproar and was quickly praised by all who had drunk it, which led to a large number of dignitaries in Jinling City.


    Originally, before the immortal drunk appeared, the most famous and strongest wine in the whole week was always the cold pool fragrance of Jinling.


    This means that the output is small and the price is high. Basically, it is only sold on the ground in Jinling.


    People from other places want to drink. In most cases, they have to come to Jinling to buy it. It is the most proud specialty of Jinling people.


    But with the immortal''s drunken birth, the fragrance of the cold pool in Jinling was knocked down in an instant.


    At the beginning, there were Jinling dignitaries, trying to make business trips and bring some immortals back from Heyang city as drunk as possible.


    However, because the output of immortal drunk is too scarce, it is difficult to meet the needs of Heyang City, and even limited sales, so that there are few business trips that can really bring immortal drunk to Jinling.


    Hope is the most expensive thing, which leads to the immortals who sell for only three Guan and one Jin in Heyang city getting drunk. When they arrive at Jinling, they directly soar to ten Guan and one jin!


    That''s it. There''s no market for the price!


    Don''t want to buy it without enough contacts!


    In addition to the immortal drunk, some people from Heyang have come to Jinling in recent months.


    Or visiting relatives and friends, or doing business. Although the flow of people in different regions within the Zhou Dynasty is almost completely solidified, the interaction between Jinling and Heyang is quite frequent.


    During this period, more and more Heyang people appeared in Jinling. Jinling people found that they couldn''t understand what Heyang people were saying.


    Walking on the right side of the street and waiting in line in public are barely understandable.


    But what are garbage cans and public toilets?


    It''s just that you don''t know. No one can guarantee that you know everything, can''t you?


    But those people from Heyang, looking at them, the eyes of Jinling people, are full of contempt and disdain. Why!


    They have always been the only people in Jinling who despise the people in Heyang. When is it the turn of the people in Heyang to despise the people in Jinling?!


    It happened that the other party looked down on them, and they were so righteous. In the end, Jinling people learned from the mouth of Heyang people that there were more and more changes in Heyang city. On the contrary, they understood why Heyang people looked down on them.


    Soon, there was a Heyang fever in Jinling.


    From the dignitaries to the people, they began to be proud of imitating the way of life of Heyang.


    And such changes naturally quickly spread into the palace.


    King Zhou Xiangang had just returned to the palace for a few days.


    The great defeat of the eastern expedition made him feel very bad.


    Although the troops arrived in time so that he did not encounter any danger, this failure could basically nail him to the pillar of shame in history.


    Every time I think about this, Zhou Xian has an uncontrollable mania.


    Since returning to the palace, in just a few days, there have been more than double-digit eunuchs and palace maids who have been ordered to fight and kill on the spot because they accidentally angered Zhou Xian.


    There was a nervous mood in the palace. No one dared to touch Zhou Xian''s eyebrows at this time.


    At this time, in the imperial study, Zhou Xian was listening to some new things told by his eunuch.


    The emperor of the great Zhou Dynasty was pretty handsome, but the haze in his eyebrows made his facial features look cruel.


    "Heyang City, the change is really so huge?"


    After listening to the eunuch, Zhou Xian asked coldly.


    "Well... Your majesty, the slave doesn''t know, but it''s said in the public. It''s said that a caravan in Jinling went to Heyang and came back. It''s also praising the Heyang city to the sky. I think... There should be no fake."


    The eunuch hunched down and said.


    "Well... If I remember correctly, should Jiang Fan be recommended by King Wu?"


    "Your Majesty is wise. It was recommended by his highness King Wu."


    "Speaking of knowing people clearly, King Wu is still very capable. Unfortunately... Gu Yan killed him! It''s unreasonable!"


    Zhou Xian said so, but he didn''t see much anger on his face.


    The eunuch thought about it and carefully answered, "Your Majesty, the evidence of his highness King Wu''s rebellion is conclusive. He should die..."


    "That''s right, but King Wu is a royal family after all. Can Gu Yan kill him? He plans to take his post, remove Gu Yan''s position as the guard of Heyang city and transfer him back to Jinling for trial. This Jiang Fan will temporarily take the place of the guard of Heyang city. The remains of King Wu and his descendants will be transported to Jinling. Although King Wu rebelled, it''s my royal descendants after all, and they have to be buried in the imperial mausoleum."


    Zhou Xian said.


    "The slave obeyed."


    "In addition, the rebellious mobs in the north, the prime minister and the people in the assembly hall have not discussed how to deal with them?"


    Zhou Xian continued to ask.


    "This... Has not been handed over yet. I heard that... It''s because no one is willing to lead troops to suppress bandits. It seems that most of the troops still stationed in the local area are private troops of aristocratic family leaders, so those aristocratic family leaders don''t want their private troops to be lost."


    The eunuch leaned over and said.


    "Bastard! What private army! It''s all the troops of Da Zhou! These bastards! I''m still not the emperor of Da Zhou! They don''t even want to send troops to suppress bandits! Do you want me to send out all the last 200000 Imperial troops outside Jinling City! Can anyone replace the Imperial troops to garrison Jinling if they have an idea?"


    Zhou Xian said in a very dangerous tone.


    The eunuch shivered and lowered his head. He didn''t dare to take this stubble.


    Zhou Xian gasped hard. After a few times, he said in a cold voice, "go and summon the Grand Marshal to see me!"


    "Yes, your majesty!"
