After transmigrating into a faint king, I had sex with the villain general

Although Xiao Fang had already imagined how many people he would face, he was still extremely shocked when he saw the black crowd in front of him that could hardly be seen.

Standing in front of so many people for the first time, a thin layer of sweat seeped uncontrollably, but he caught a glimpse of the accompanying figure beside him from the corner of his eye, and forced himself to calm down slowly.

His eyes slowly swept across the crowd, and fell on Fan Shengyu, and asked in a deep voice: "Fan Shangshu, what's going on? Get up and talk."

"Your Majesty is very aware," Fan Shengyu looked up again, but refused to get up: "The Emperor lives deep in the palace, I don't know that the rumors in Beijing have disturbed people's hearts, so don't underestimate it."

Xiao Fang frowned: "What rumors?"

"Rumors say that since the Battle of Xiezhou, the emperor has also made a private agreement with Xirong to hand over two ounces of silver from the treasury to Xirong every year."

"Presumptuous!" Xiao Fang said angrily, "It's nothing but nonsense, but you are in an important position, yet you actually believe in these rumors?"

Fan Shengyu refused to evade the question: "Your Majesty, although I have not been in Beijing for a few years, I still care about the court. After the Xiezhou War, although there was compensation, but now the tax is not low, and the people of Datan are all diligent. , the treasury should also be filled day by day.”

He pressed on: "I have the audacity to ask the emperor, where have all the treasury expenditures gone in recent years? Is it true, as the rumors say, that the barbarian state is rich, but the big sandalwood is in poverty?"

Everyone's eyes were on Xiao Fang, and he only looked down at Fan Shengyu: "Since Fan Shangshu cares about the imperial court, he should know that there are troubles everywhere, such as heavy snow in the south, building mountains and building roads, encircling and suppressing bandits, all need money from people." repair."

"I know that, but I know even more that there are natural disasters and bandits almost every year. In the past few years, the tax has been higher, but the people's livelihood has been more miserable."

Fan Shengyu looked around, and asked again: "I just ask the emperor to answer, where exactly did the silver go, whether it went to Xirong, and whether the person arrested a few days ago was the one who came to join Xirong."

This question hit the point, and there was a complete silence all around, and everyone held their breath.

Xiao Fang raised his eyes to look at the crowd, remained silent for a long time, and then said: "It's my fault that the people are suffering."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the crowd below, but before there was any shouting, he said again: "Since that's the case, I will give you an explanation."

He turned his head and whispered some instructions to Madoka next to him.

Seeing Xiaoyuan lead the order to leave in a hurry, Fan Shengyu cupped his hands again. As soon as he spoke, those who wanted to speak behind him shut their mouths tactfully.

"Your Majesty, the rumors continue to say that it is the Queen Mother's intention to connect with Xirong, may I ask if it is true or not?"

Xiao Fang yelled: "Fan Shengyu! You are so bold!"

"The minister is here." Fan Shengyu was not frightened by the cessation of drinking, raised his voice and asked again: "Dare to ask the emperor, is there such a thing?"

"Okay," Xiao Fang looked up at the crowd, and raised his voice: "Listen up! I will give you an explanation today of where the taxes and money are spent, but I, Da Tan, live or die, no matter what. Whoever it is, will never do such dirty things as secretly colluding with barbarians!"

His words were sonorous, and everyone was silenced for a while.

"Come on! Go invite the Queen Mother!"

As soon as these words came out, there was no room for everyone to say more.

The news flew all over the capital as if it had grown wings. During the waiting process, countless people came from all directions. At the same time, the patrol battalion was also in place urgently, just in case.

Xiao Fang stood still on the Yushi Bridge with his hands behind his back, and neither did the people below.

It's just that standing still like this seems to give people a reassurance invisibly. Everyone knows that the people affected by the rumors will be there soon, and it is impossible to be ambiguous today.

About half an hour later, there was a noise from the other side of the street, and the crowded crowd dispersed to both sides, diverging a road.

More than a dozen fast horses slowed down at the end of the road and came straight to the palace gate.

The Empress Dowager threw the rein of the horse and jumped off, walked towards Xiao Fang, looked around: "Your Majesty, what's going on?"

"Mother's Queen," Xiao Fang bowed solemnly, "Fan Shangshu brought the people to ask for orders in front of the palace gate, saying that there are rumors in Beijing about Mother's Queen."

"Me?" The queen mother was stunned: "What did you say?"

"The empress told me to contact Xirong secretly and send the silver to Xirong in order to achieve peace."

"What nonsense!"

Behind the Empress Dowager were several women, dressed in bright red clothes covered with black armor, they were the girls from the Liehong Camp.

Before the Empress Dowager could speak, there was already a girl who lashed out angrily.

"I've only had a full meal for a few days, and I have the time to ask questions? Today, someone said that the empress is collaborating with the enemy, so you believe it? Tomorrow, everyone who has a bad mouth will frame it, and you will believe it all? On the neck Is it the head or the flesh?"

"Didn't you see what the empress did? When you beat Dengwen drum, you had great strength, why did you forget it when you turned your head?"

There was even a girl pointing to the crowd to name her name: "Chen San, your pancake stand was overturned by Mr. Zhao, what the hell did you cry when you went to beat the drums, did you lose your eyes or your brain? "

"And you, you lost the gamble, and took your own wife and children to pay the bill. If the empress hadn't taken him in, what kind of life would they be living today? You have the face, don't hide behind others!"

Everyone looked at each other.

There are so many people in Beijing, even though the Queen Mother has only helped so many people by meddling in her business, but she has spread the word to hundreds of people, which gives people a lot of confidence, and feels that they are no longer helpless when things happen.

Even in the teahouses in the old days, there were quite a few jokes about how the girls from the Liehongying beat up those rascals to the ground, making people applaud.

The queen mother raised her hand to tell the girls to shut up, and then sneered: "It's all arranged here. If you want an answer, then I'll just say it - this is disgusting. Whoever you like to do, you can do it here." Don't let me know who is on the head, otherwise I can't guarantee that he can keep the whole body!"

The crowd fell silent.

"The girls are right about one thing," she glanced over one by one: "Today, when I heard that someone was collaborating with the enemy, they ganged up in front of the palace gate and insisted on the emperor's coming forward. Tomorrow, it will be even more serious. Yes, aren't you going to force the palace?"

"The empress dowager is serious." This time it was Fan Shengyu who spoke, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief with someone who took the lead.

"This matter is of great importance. I only ask the treasury where the two banks are going to reassure the people. What's more, there was a death in the downtown area today. It is said that it was a soldier from the patrol battalion. Moreover, the child was sick and even had no money to treat him. Presumably the emperor He and the Queen Mother don't want to see the people living here."

"Human life..." Xiao Fang pondered for a moment, and ordered: "General Ji, order the Jingzhao Mansion to thoroughly investigate this matter, and the murderer must be severely punished."

He paused for a while: "But if someone uses gossip to deliberately cause trouble, he will not be lightly forgiven!"

Ji Yunqi stood in the back and answered: "Yes!"

Everyone was shocked, and some people who understood slowly came to their senses.

Even when they were really poor, no one in Beijing had cried like this. Now that Beijing is prosperous, it is really strange that this person suddenly appeared when the rumors were in full swing.

There are even people looking for someone who just met the dead man in the crowd, where can they find it?

But doubts are doubts, I just heard the emperor say "it's my fault".

Amidst the low whispers, the sound of wood being rolled over the ground came from outside the crowd. Under the protection of a team of imperial guards, Qin Huai pushed Xiang Yu and walked slowly towards this side.

Seeing Xiao Fang nodding his head slightly, the Queen Mother took the girls back to one side, Xiang Yu bowed to this side first, coughed a few times, and then called out: "Qin Huai." Qin Huai took the scroll from the attendant, unfolded it, He read aloud: "Chili pepper, one tael from Persia, five thousand silver. Carrot, one tael from Ireland, three thousand five hundred silver. Eggplant, one tael from Great Britain, five thousand five thousand silver..."

If in the past, this strange name was unknown, everyone would not feel that much, but now these things are placed on every dining table, and listening to the silver bills behind it, one can't help but feel horrified.

After Qin Huai finished reading one volume, he took another volume: "Jasmine Xinzhan, two taels, three thousand eight hundred silver. Guangling Xiangjing, two taels, four thousand silver. Yue Nuo No. 2, two tael, three thousand silver five hundred……"

These names became unfamiliar, and everyone was wondering, Qin Huai closed the booklet, and said loudly: "The rice in this book is still trying to sow, and it will be on the market this autumn. The yield of this kind of rice per mu is about Fifteen hundred catties."

This time, everyone gasped.

When it comes to the harvest of farming, everyone knows what a terrible harvest is [-] catties per mu, which means that the once unattainable white rice can finally open its stomach to eat.

Qin Huai retreated behind Xiang Yu, and Xiao Fang took a step forward. The people below were eagerly waiting for this dream to be promised to come true, and there was no sound.

Only then did he calmly say: "After the first battle in Xiezhou, I was more anxious than you all, but with the current harvest of Da Tan, if I want to recover my vitality, I don't know how many years will pass and how many people will starve to death. I can only take the risk. "

Everyone gradually understood what the phrase "My fault" was talking about just now.

"I have sent many envoys to farther places, spending a lot of money to find rice seeds that can yield more crops," he sighed softly: "It's a pity that many of the seeds are not suitable for the soil of the big sandalwood, so we have to wait a few years Improvements have cost a lot of money in vain."

There was a silence below, and suddenly someone shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, this money is not in vain, and the peasants also grow potatoes and eggplants in their homes, so they can have enough food every day! This money is not in vain!"

As soon as he made a sound, more people also shouted: "It's worth the money! Caomin bought a couple of radish seeds at Daji, and it only cost twenty copper coins! Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"It's the same with our family. The cabbage we planted was taken to the market, and it was quickly sold. We finally got new clothes at home!"

"My steamed stuffed bun shop has several kinds of fillings, and they are selling well, and my baby has enough money to go to school!"

Many people here saw the emperor for the first time. They did not expect the emperor to be so gentle and kind. After talking about these things, they suddenly realized that they followed him like this in a flash of brain today, making a big noise outside the palace gate, as if they were being attacked. It's like a voodoo.

Although Xiao Fang had practiced repeatedly in the palace many times before today, but seeing the boiling crowd in front of him, his throat still seemed to be choked by something, and his eye sockets were slightly wet and red.

He even wanted to drag out the little emperor who no longer knew where his soul was, pointing at the person in front of him and cursing—look at what you did!Look what you did!What they want is so little!What have you done!

He bit his lower lip slightly, and didn't have time to say anything, but suddenly another voice in the crowd asked loudly: "Your Majesty! Where is Xiezhou!"

These two words were like ice water, extinguishing the boiling heat wave.

Xiezhou is a hurdle that everyone can't get past.

The man stopped kneeling and stood up abruptly, his voice choked with sobs: "Your Majesty, we have clearly won! Why did you cede Xiezhou! We have clearly won!"

Xiao Fang was taken aback for a moment - Xiezhou was not included in the rehearsal they had considered before.

"Your Majesty." Someone behind him called him softly.

Xiao Fang turned sideways, Ji Yunqi took a step forward in his gaze, bowed his hands to everyone, and said only one sentence: "I am Ji Yunqi."

Those who knew him and those who didn't know him had heard his name, and they held their breath at the sound.

As the coach of the Battle of Xiezhou, no one has more say in this than Ji Yunqi.

"The Battle of Xiezhou..." Ji Yunqi's voice was calm, with internal strength, and it spread far away: "We have indeed won, but after seven months of fighting, the army and supplies in the rear cannot be supplied, and the soldiers can only starve Stomach, use flesh and blood to fight the enemy recklessly."

He lowered his eyes and knelt down on one knee: "The war exhausted the sandalwood. I wrote to the emperor requesting the withdrawal of troops to negotiate a peace. If you have any resentment, Ji Yunqi alone should bear it. You shouldn't resent the emperor."

Xiao Fang looked at him with his eyes wide open, and tears rolled down his eyes a few times.

The author has something to say: I came from Baidu about the yield per mu. Grandpa Yuan said there are so many, so there are so many, cough cough
