Happy Little Scholar

General Wei was unwell, so the task of capturing Chen County within half a month fell to Deputy General Chen Qingchen.

General Fan has not been with them for more than a year, and he lags far behind in thinking and cannot keep up with the times. Prime Minister Wang specifically told them that during these half a month, they would have to live and eat together. Wei Liang's mission changed. It helped General Fan improve his ideological quality.

Ordinary soldiers just obey orders and do not have high requirements for this, but as a general, you must not relax mentally.

In the temporarily arranged residence, Yang Liuqing sat at the desk, slowly turning the pages of the book, reading every line of words very carefully.

General Wei, General Fan and others only need to know how to fight, but she is different.

She not only needs to know how to win the first war, but also how to strengthen her team, how to survive in the cracks when the force is still weak, how to start with Cangzhou, and step by step, approach the place that once brought her countless Nightmare place.

Even more, she has to think about some more distant things. One day, if she really takes that position, what should she do and how can she be a good emperor?

She never doubted whether she could do it. If her uncle said yes, then it would be okay.

Prime Minister Wang knocked on the door and walked in from the outside.

"Your Highness." After a slight salute, he said: "Chen Qing has already gone to Chen County. He used to be stationed in Cangzhou. Chen County is his hometown. Our people have infiltrated into the county government. Xu Envoy will also help us. Provide help, and with the help of Miss Bai and the others, they can quietly capture the Chen County government office, so there shouldn’t be much of a problem..."

"knew."

Yang Liuqing nodded. Chen County, including the entire Cangzhou, was almost abandoned by the imperial court. Only a thousand officers and soldiers were stationed in the city of Cangzhou. He only needed fifty elite soldiers to occupy the Chen County government office. Chen Qing had many experts on his trip. So she wasn't too worried.

Prime Minister Wang looked at the open books on his desk and sighed: "Your Highness has worked hard these years..."

Ever since the second prince usurped the throne, he had watched helplessly as the helpless girl took the young Prince Jing to escape from the imperial capital, hid in Tibet, and grew up step by step to become the princess she is today.

He could see how much she suffered along the way.

Yang Liuqing shook her head and said with a smile: "The prime minister is the one who has done the hard work. Even at your age, you still have to run around with us. It's us who have dragged you down..."

Prime Minister Wang waved his hand and said: "I am tired, but I am willing to be tired. If I can see the day when His Highness ascends the throne, I am tired to death, but I am willing to..."

Yang Liuqing smiled, discussed some things with him, and said, "I'll go over and see Master."

Prime Minister Wang watched her walk out and caught a glimpse of the handsome and elegant handwriting on the open pages on his desk, and his eyes paused slightly.

He looked outside the door and saw that Her Royal Highness the Princess two years ago was completely different from today.

Two years ago, although she was fighting hard and working very hard, at that time, she was confused and had no direction.

Nowadays, she no longer shows that confusion and helplessness. There is someone who guides her and all of them.

When Yang Liuqing walked into the next room, Miss Liu Er was looking at Qiushui's background.

"Master." She walked over and said softly.

Miss Liu Er came back to her senses and asked, "Bai Su and the others are gone?"

Yang Liuqing nodded and said, "I just left with General Chen."

She looked at Miss Liu Er and said, "Master, there is nothing going on here for the time being. Why don't you go back to Ruyi City first? Bai Su and the others are here, so nothing will happen."

Miss Liu Er waved her hand and said: "No, there is nothing important to do when we go back. What he asked you to do next, show me the plan..."

…

Not long after, Yang Liuqing walked out of the room and came to the yard, looking at the stretching mountains in the distance.

Although there is nothing important there, there are important people there, but Master is never willing to face it...

It has been five years since the second year of Jinghe. If time goes forward, it will be even longer. For such a long time, even she, as an apprentice, has been worried about her...

…

Cangzhou, Chen County, county government.

It was getting late, and the magistrate of Chen County was still reading files in the front hall of the county government office.

Chen County has been a bit uneasy recently. Of course, there has never been peace in Chen County. When the Wu Kingdom was still peaceful, there were bandits here. Now that the Wu Kingdom is in chaos, there are not so many bandits here, and there are rebellions again.

Those bastards who gave birth to sons without PY could not defeat the regular army of the imperial court, and they did not dare to provoke the prefecture where soldiers were stationed, so they only picked on soft persimmons like the county government.

His predecessors, including his predecessors, were all hacked to death by rebels who stormed into the county government office.

Since the country was in chaos, people have rebelled in every state and government. A place like Cangzhou, which was already in chaos, has naturally become even more chaotic.

Every once in a while, dozens or nearly a hundred thugs would rush into the county government office, cut down the county magistrate and several petty officials, proclaim themselves "Emperor XXX", and declare their right to rule Chen County, followed by rewards based on merit. , made an official or a marquis...

This is how his former county magistrate died.

By the time the state city got the news and sent troops to exterminate the rebels, the county magistrate had already passed the first seven days.

Although some people would attack the county government, they would only fight but not occupy it. They would rob food, weapons and horses. In short, they would rob whatever they saw, and then leave. They would also chop down the county magistrate and several petty officials. This was how his predecessor died.

In short, if someone in Chen County rebelled, the first one to suffer would be the county magistrate.

The damn governor withdrew all the troops to the state capital. The small county governments in these places had to live with their heads tied to their belts. If they were not careful, they would become the target of others' rebellion.

He was able to live until now, not because there were fewer people rebelling now, but because he was careful enough. Once he found any clues, he immediately took his family to avoid disaster. Recently, some villages in Chen County often held illegal gatherings, with dozens or even hundreds of people gathering together. In troubled times, as long as more than ten people gathered together, there would be no good. This was an iron rule, and it was also a bloody lesson he summed up through the deaths of his predecessor, predecessor, and predecessor.

If they were discussing rebellion, he was sure that Chen County's government office would be their primary target!

You can give up your position, but you can't give up your life. This is the life principle he always follows.

Bang!

Just as he was carefully reading the files, trying to find some clues from them, there were suddenly several muffled sounds outside the front hall. The magistrate of Chen County was startled and blurted out, "Who?"

No one answered him, and no one from the yamen guarding outside on weekdays came in.

He almost subconsciously ran to the back, where there was a secret passage he had dug in advance. No matter what happened outside, he could run outside through that secret passage.

He was not curious about what happened outside. He knew that the most curious people often died the fastest.

But he had just run two steps when a black shadow blocked his way.

The shadow looked at him and asked, "Are you the County Magistrate of Chen County?"

"I'm not." He shook his head violently and said, "This warrior may have recognized the wrong person. The County Magistrate is now in the inner house. How about I take you there?"

As he spoke, he walked out of the door, thinking that he would be out of danger once he alerted the yamen runners.

In the yard outside the front hall, a yamen runner had a knife on his neck. When he saw him coming out, his eyes lit up, pointed at him, and said, "Hero, this is our County Magistrate."

The County Magistrate of Chen County had already greeted the yamen runner's eighteen generations of ancestors in his heart, turned his head to look at the shadow, knelt down with a plop, and shouted, "Please spare my life, my dear, I am not the dog official you are looking for. I have not done anything to harm the world. The bad things are all done by the county magistrate, and it has nothing to do with me..., I surrender, I surrender!"

The shadow looked at him and stood there, not knowing what to do for a while.

He had already thought about what methods he would use to force the magistrate of Chen County to surrender if he resisted strongly. He had thought of several methods, but he did not expect that the other party would surrender before they said a word.

This feeling of punching the air with a fist after holding back all the strength was particularly uncomfortable.

He looked back at the other person and asked, "Sister Bai, what should we do? Do we still need to use the bone-breaking hand, or poison?"

Bone-breaking, poison...

The magistrate of Chen County heard this and his eyes suddenly turned black...
