After I die, my wife becomes a tyrant
Chapter 14
"This is the new magistrate of Juzhang County, Liu Wende."
In the busy Juzhang County Mansion, Liang Nanling raised her head when she heard the sound, and saw Zhang Mingzhong, the governor of Yuezhou, coming in person, and brought a middle-aged man with a big belly.
"New county magistrate? Where's the grand order?" Liang Nanling was puzzled. Could it be that Chang Kao was promoted?But last year Daling had been fighting in Fuzhou and did not go to the regular exam.
"Cough cough," Zhang Mingzhong coughed lightly, avoided the topic, and smiled instead:
"The new magistrate of Liu County took office, and he doesn't know much about sentences. You masters, county magistrates, and ministers of each department should communicate more with Liu County magistrate."
After Zhang Mingzhong finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Liang Nanling hurriedly chased him out: "Where's the Grand Order? It doesn't matter if you don't come to the new county magistrate. The Daling explained it earlier, and I will take over."
"Hey, avoid suspicion, you really are," Zhang Mingzhong lowered his voice mysteriously:
"Xiao Yehou was punished for dereliction of duty and was exiled to southern Xinjiang."
"???" Liang Nanling was greatly frightened.
"Ling draft, it was found that... more than 300 people died."
"???" Liang Nanling was shocked again.
"Hey, I don't know how to say it. The case that Xiao Yehou personally found out has sent him to the sky prison. Even Wan Huhou was sent to the Northwest Xinjiang."
After Zhang Mingzhong briefly explained the brief of the case, he turned to say:
"Magistrate Liu was only temporarily transferred from Keqiao County, but if Xiao Yehou doesn't come back for many years, he may have to continue to do it. He is quite capable. Don't resist. You should manage the place well."
"Also, don't mention Xiaoyehou less, so as not to spread the news even in Yuezhou. I don't want to ruin Xiaoyehou's reputation, and I'm trying to suppress the rumors. After all, you and I know what's going on. It's Weiwei Temple in the West Mansion. I'm afraid the incident wasn't big enough, so there was an uproar that day."
Zhang Mingzhong patted Liang Nanling's shoulder, then left with a sigh.
Liang Nanling has been absent-minded all day, what's the matter?
"Eh? Tax exemption for all? Then how do you pay the taxes that are turned over to the national treasury every year?" Liu Wende asked puzzledly as he flipped through the account books.
"Annual tax, [-] shi for grain tax, and a large decree...then whoever has ten thousand mu of land can pay with that land."
"Oh, oh, what about the money class? 5 taels of gold a year is quite a lot. The whole people are exempted from taxes, so how can they pay so much?"
"Great order... Then whoever has a private business will be taken care of by me and the young order, and the money earned from foreign trade is several times more than this."
"Oh." Liu Wende touched the bridge of his nose in doubt, and asked some more questions.
Liang Nanling couldn't sit still anymore, and after answering several times, she finally stood up in a hurry and galloped towards the West Mansion.
……
"Isn't that Xiao Yehou's concubine? Tsk tsk tsk, shameless."
"???"
"Killing so many people, you still have the face to stand here! Speech! You're so shameless!"
While waiting outside the palace gate for the news of the general, Liang Nanling was scolded by the people onlookers. She looked bewildered and couldn't understand a word.
Some angry people even brought bamboo baskets and hit her with rotten vegetable leaves.
"What's your situation? I've done too much to me!" Liang Nanling had never been wronged before, and she just wanted to yell at her in anger.
Lang Jiang came back very quickly, hurriedly stood in front of her, and dragged her to the palace at a fast pace, that Lang Jiang was also splashed all over by the vegetable leaves, Liang Nanling thought it was her fault.
"Sorry to trouble you." Although angry, Liang Nanling still apologized.
"The magistrate of Juzhang County, you will understand after a while, the reputation of our Yijin Army is completely ruined, and it has nothing to do with you." Lang Jiang said in a low voice.
Sitting in the inner hall, Hua Muyu tried her best to concentrate on handling the affairs. Seeing that Liang Nanling was brought in with her whole body covered in vegetable leaves, she stood up slowly, ready to go to a secluded place to communicate.
"Why did you send Da Ling to southern Xinjiang? What did Da Ling do wrong? Do you know that Da Ling fought alone in order to investigate the case, and he didn't even dare to bring a helper, for fear of hurting others? Do you know that Da Ling was accepted? How many threats? How much suffering?"
In the secluded ear room, Liang Nanling couldn't help but accuse Hua Muyu all the time, and she wasn't afraid of being given to death.
Hua Muyu said in a cold voice, "I thought it was business to come to me, but private matters and complaints can be avoided. I am very busy."
"The case is not official? In that case, on the real case file, it says 'spiritual draft'. The murderer was not one, but a group of addicts who smoked spiritual herbs and were controlled by others. In order to investigate the case, the order also got infected with Lingcao addiction, I finally got rid of it, and it was so painful when I quit..." Still thinking of you.
"It's good for you to be injured again and again, and directly send the order to the southern border. If the order is not pursued, these [-] lives will be in vain!"
"Earlier when I assisted in the investigation of this case, I was also followed by the killer. If it weren't for the protection of Da Ling, I would rather be scolded by Meng Lang and dealt with by your family's law without explaining. I'm afraid it would be..."
The more Liang Nanling thought about it, the angrier she became, why did she treat Da Ling like this.
"It turns out..." It's not because I didn't learn well, but because I wanted to investigate the case, why didn't I explain to me, Hua Muyu was in a complicated mood:
"Understood, is there anything else?"
Liang Nanling was stabbed by her indifference, too, a district magistrate, who deserves to come to see the suzerain of Jian Guo.
"Da Ling is a good person, I hope you can understand it in your life."
She put down these words angrily, then turned and left the inner hall.
"Good man..." In just a few days, after hearing this sentence twice, even Xing'er said it inexplicably before leaving.
Take it easy, she still has a lot of things to deal with, she is so busy that she has no time to think about it.
Dali Temple Minister Li Xu was summoned to report the details of a psychic draft in detail and secretly.
"It's been plotting for a long time, my lord." Li Xu said in a low voice.
"The problem is the purpose. There is not much benefit in impeaching Mrs. Yeh. At present, the only one who gets the benefit is the eldest son. He was approved to form the Jiejie Army as he wished."
"It should not be underestimated. I believe that some courtiers are paving the way for the son to succeed to the throne. As for the benefits, the son will definitely get it after he succeeds to the throne."
"Yes," Hua Muyu paused, and ordered:
"The secretary of the Dali Temple ordered that all the commercial coasts of the country strictly check the spiritual grass to prevent it from entering the country. Those who dare to buy or sell it will be imprisoned for ten years. If the amount is huge, they will be beheaded for public display."
"The minister took the order, but if this thing enters the country, it may be impossible to guard against it. Wu Guo also has overseas trade, and some disputes with Wu trade should also be strictly investigated."
"Sure enough, I did nothing wrong to protect you," Hua Muyu thought, Dali Temple had a huge dereliction of duty, taking advantage of the chaos and the blame was all on Mrs. Ye, and fished in troubled waters to let Dali Temple avoid being cleaned. Sure enough, I did nothing wrong:
"In addition, for all addicts, if you meet one, you will take one into custody, and if there is no doubt about it, you will be forced to quit before releasing you."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Hua Muyu returned to the inner hall and called a general to get Xing'er back. She always felt that Xing'er knew something, even Xing'er seemed to know Ye Qiufeng better than her.
She has been looking at the map on the Zhu case for several days. The map not only depicts the Yue Kingdom, but also the surrounding countries, as well as the Central Plains Shang Kingdom. It is based on the intelligence from various countries.
The total strength of the Wu State is at least 50, or has reached 60. Ye Qiufeng led [-] to southern Xinjiang to declare war on Wu, which is tantamount to death.
We must find a way to protect her, at least to reduce the possibility of her and Ye Chen dying in the frontier.
Picking up a pen, Hua Muyu wrote:
[To the lord of the world, His Majesty Chai Zhou Guo, Wu Guo has conquered the north and south for more than [-] years, wantonly encroaching on the surrounding cities, Xu's Qi State is about to be completely swallowed, and our Hua Clan's Yue State has been invaded and occupied seven states one after another. What can be tolerated is unbearable. Today, it has been decided to go on a four-way campaign to recover Fuzhou, Xinzhou, Raozhou, Shezhou, and Yizhou. If it is not restored to its homeland, it will not be returned. A few years ago, Han State was invaded by Wu State. Han State has decided At this time to recover the homeland, the Yingzhou, Suzhou, Xuzhou, and Bozhou under your Majesty's rule were invaded by the Wu Kingdom in the early years. sit back and relax. 】
[To the Lord of the Han Kingdom of the Liu family, our country of Yue of the Hua family was encroached on seven states by the state of Wu one after another. Is it tolerable or unbearable? Today, I have decided to go on a four-way expedition to recover Fuzhou, Xinzhou, Raozhou, Shezhou, and Yizhou. Swearing not to return the homeland, the Central Plains Shangguo has decided to send troops to the south to recover Yingzhou, Suzhou, Xuzhou, Bozhou from Wu, and Qianzhou, which was invaded by Wu in the Han Dynasty. I think this is the time to recover. 】
Hua Muyu frowned tightly, and picked up the pen carefully and carefully. With the strategy of long-distance and short-term attack, Wu Guo was trapped by multiple troops. If it works, it can greatly disperse Wu's troops. At that time, Ye Qiufeng will face up to [-] troops. The enemy army is barely evenly matched to help her improve her chances of winning.
Thinking over and over with my father for a few days, Hua Jingding admired her intelligence, repeatedly praised her for being brave and resourceful, secretly appointed two high-ranking officials from Dali Temple as envoys, and the letter was finally taken away by the envoys. .
Being praised is not what she wants, she just wants Ye Qiufeng to come back alive and kicking.
"What else can I do."
Hua Muyu is still racking her brains, and has no time to deal with Weiwei Temple who is spreading rumors.
……
"Yijinjun and Wanhuhou, no matter how famous they are, it was more than 20 years ago. They were mighty more than 20 years ago, but it doesn't mean they are mighty now."
"It's too scary, so many people died, I dare not go out at night."
"The Yijin army has been assigned to the frontier. If they can win the battlefield, they can earn back some prestige. If they can't earn back, they will die. It's good to reorganize capable pro-army."
"There is also the brave army. The local patrol houses are patrolling. Most of them are brave generals. So many people have died. The brave army is useless. The Yijin army and the brave army are useless. They can't even protect the people. .”
"I still count on the brave army. The brave army was originally the remnants of the enemy bandits that Xiaoyehou recruited and dealt with the refugees everywhere. They should have been dealt with at that time. It was Xiaoyehou who dared to recruit, dare to keep it, and returned it to the relatives of Yue. The name and salary of the army, in fact, should not even be given the title of the wild editor, and should be used as servants."
"You can't say that. In the past ten years or so, the city has not been lost. Marquis Xiaoye recovered Chuzhou, and later recovered Jianzhou and Fuzhou. The brave army is still useful."
"Why can't it protect the people? Why are so many people dead?"
Liang Nanling wanted to know too much inside information, so she pretended to have a cough and covered half of her face with a white cloth, listening to the rumors from the people in the restaurant.
It turned out that this case involved such a huge area, Wan Huhou's reputation was ruined, and the two pro-army troops also ruined their reputations, and they were shouted and beaten by everyone like rats crossing the street.
It turns out that the purpose of manipulating addicts to kill people is so sinister.
……
After three months,
In the Palace of Funing, Hua Jingding tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, his heart was extremely irritable, the courtier proposed to move to another place to stay, but he was not willing to move.
Even around Funing Hall, nearly [-] dead bodies have been buried in the past few years, it's a bit intrusive to think about it.
But Hua Jingding is not afraid of this, and it's not that he has never experienced the battlefield. The world of Yue Kingdom was also defeated by his troops when he was young.
"Father, you're alright." Hua Muyu came to see him and was concerned about his situation.
"My son, I'm fine."
Hua Jingding sat up, sat on the edge of the bed with his head down, still thinking about something.
The two father and daughter were silent for a long time.
"Father..."
"My son..."
Suddenly speaking in unison, Hua Jingding raised his head to look at her, paused and said:
"My son, tell me first."
"Well," Hua Muyu organized his words and said:
"Shangguo has replied to accept it, and the same is true for Hanguo."
"The reputation of the Yijin Army and the Brave Army will be damaged, and their morale will definitely be affected. Moreover, the two have been assigned for more than three months. If there is no movement in the court, the generals of the two pro-army may think wildly, and even more Depressing morale, I hope my father can personally patrol the border and inform the army of the overall situation to boost morale, so that the army will not think that he is an abandoned son."
She wanted to say that she would go by herself, because... she wanted to see Ye Qiufeng.
But the more deliberate approach is for the head of the country to go, after all, the head of the country and the suzerain are not at the same level.
After Hua Jingding listened, he inexplicably snorted and chuckled.
"My son, I think the same thing, but I have another idea," while speaking, he stood up, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back:
"The generals guarding the palace have all been replaced by the Xiaojie army. I don't feel at ease, and I don't feel safe."
"It's better for you to patrol the border. The people know that you are in charge of the country and handle state affairs. They all know that I, the king of the country, prefers to sleep. It is more suitable for you to go than me."
"Just set a time and go, there is one more thing, you tell Wan Huhou, and tell him to finish it."
……
Ye Chen stationed [-] Yijin troops in Muzhou, and another [-] in the westernmost border of Hangzhou, at the junction with Muzhou.
Although he was condemned and assigned, he was worried that he would be too far away from the West Mansion. He was not a fool for such an obvious target.
He didn't blame Hua Jing Dingzhen for sending him away, he had to deal with the courtier's forced palace, so he understood.
The person with the vested interest is the crown prince, which means that the crown prince has moved his mind to succeed to the throne. He is the only son, and the throne will be his sooner or later. , using "daughter-in-law" Hua Muyu as an imaginary enemy. It is normal for the "daughter-in-law" to be feared by the Ye family who holds the military power at his back.
"No."
Ye Chen hastily called Lu Rong, General of the Yijin Army, and whispered secretly in a secluded place:
"Taking advantage of the reputation of the Yijin Army to be ruined, he led two thousand men to pretend to be retired from the army, pretend to join the Xiaojie Army, break into the palace, and secretly protect the lord and the mansion."
"Why didn't you say it earlier." Lu Rong was a little embarrassed.
"Why, didn't I just remember this." Ye Chen also knew that he was old and his brain was not as good as when he was young.
"The Xiaojie army has completely replaced the general guarding the palace, so it's... difficult."
"Oh, think of a way." Ye Chen hurriedly circled back and forth:
"I stayed in the western border of Hangzhou. I was already disobeying orders. I'm afraid I will be punished again after a long time."
"I will try my best, at least put a thousand in, is it feasible?" Lu Rong scratched his head, thinking about how to deal with this matter.
"Okay, okay, it's all up to you, you must strictly keep this secret, and you must not leak the rumors. By the way, if something really serious happens, and you need to reveal your identity, all my clothes and brocade soldiers will wear red scarves on their foreheads and commit suicide." Zuoxiu, the king understands, so he can feel more at ease."
"Okay, I understand."
Half a month after this arrangement was finalized, Hua Jingding entrusted Hua Muyu to deliver the secret edict when he was patrolling the border, and it was long overdue, and the content was consistent with his concerns.
Ye Chen gave a wry smile. It is widely rumored that I am your sense of security, so it is true.
……
The Fuzhou city tower in front of me is as solid as a rock, and the siege of the brave army seems to be scratching the itch of this fortified city.
After scratching for three months, there was no breach. On the contrary, when the counterattack was launched, the city of Jianzhou was bombarded by siege engines and was crumbling.
Wu Guo didn't pay attention to the mere Yue State at all. When attacking the city, Wu Guoyiwei's arrows, after a round of arrows, would hurt a lot of her subordinates.
"Your envoy, you have faith."
"Ah."
In the tent, Ye Qiufeng opened the letter, which was secretly delivered by Deputy General Xiao Yongchang.
Earlier, she was worried about leaving the West Mansion like this, so she asked the two brothers of the Xiao family to take Er Bailang to join the Xiaojie Army in a false manner, but they were demoted too quickly, so she couldn't arrange more for a while, otherwise she could send the guards of the palace 1 people are arranged to form their own brave army.
In case of emergency, she will wear the red robe of the brave army, so that Hua Muyu can rest assured that someone is secretly protecting her.
[Envoy: One thousand, well. 】
Burn after reading, Ye Qiufeng felt a little relieved——
A thousand brave troops have been arranged to guard the palace in secret, and Hua Muyu is safe.
Four months after the war against Fuzhou, Hua Muyu came to Jianzhou to patrol the border in person.
I heard that the Wu Kingdom was being attacked by troops sent by the Three Kingdoms and many other routes, and its military power was greatly dispersed. That's why the brave army was sent to recover the homeland, not to abandon the brave army.
The morale of the army was really boosted, and it was no longer like in the past four months, when every time they attacked the city, they were terrified of being retaliated by the state of Wu.
That day, Ye Qiufeng was sitting on the back of the city tower, with his head held high, looking at Hua Muyu from a distance. Domineering and handsome, she only has a nympho face.
It was an honor to be her mattress a few times.
Ye Qiufeng repeatedly tasted the honor of being a mattress twice, and the other time, holding her on his back for the whole night, tsk, the self that day was really bold.
……
Three years later, Baozheng is 26 years old.
The great victories of Fuzhou and Xinzhou made the West Mansion seething with excitement.
But the brave army is still in the border town, battered and battered to fight everywhere.
"My lord, Wu Guo Yizhou dispatched 30 troops to attack Huzhou. The Marquis of Wanhu asked for [-] brave troops to assist in the counterattack. Half of the Vanguard Battalion has been lost, and the Yijin Army has less than [-], which is not enough to compete."
When Ye Qiufeng received his father's request for help, he had just finished a round of Raozhou's counterattack against the Xinzhou city tower. He had [-] troops under his command, and even those who were only slightly injured could make up less than [-]. How could he transfer [-]?
"My lord, I am in a hurry. If Huzhou is conquered, the state of Wu will send troops to suppress the Xifu!"
"Your mother's maidservant! Can't go to Suzhou to call the Xiaojie Army? I'm disabled!" Ye Qiufeng burst into foul language.
"Wan Huhou sent a letter a long time ago! The Xiaojie Army said that Suzhou is located in the east of Huzhou. If Suzhou falls, Huzhou will be attacked by two forces, so they refused!"
"Why did Wu suddenly have troops attacking Huzhou? Your mother and maidservant, it's not good for the country's capital to be on the border. It's always a fire."
"Wu Guoming intends to put our country of Yue to death. Occupying Xifu is equivalent to occupying the entire country of Yue. Losing Huzhou and having no troops to defend the country will make our country more valuable than any city. Strategy value."
Ye Qiufeng turned back and forth anxiously, thinking about how to deal with it.
"Can it last for five days?" Ye Qiufeng asked.
"..."
Ye Qiufeng mobilized troops urgently, [-] wounded remained in Shouxin Prefecture, using the city tower as defense, only defending and not fighting, [-] brave soldiers rushed to Muzhou to raid Shezhou.
Shezhou is located in the north of Yizhou, and the fire in Yizhou's backyard may relieve the pressure on my father, allowing the Wu army in Yizhou to waste time on the way to support Shezhou.
In an emergency, she couldn't think of any other way, so this was the only way.
……
Xie House.
Xie Wang invited friends from the DPRK and China to be guests at home, but everyone is worried.
"Xiao Yehou is really lucky, this can take down two states, and it belongs to Wu!" Jiang Zhengqing, the servant of the Ministry of war, got angry and smashed the wine glass to pieces angrily.
"Wanhuhou is an old fox, and Xiaoyehou is a little fox. They were all dispatched to the frontiers. The Wanhuhou still left [-] troops in Hangzhou, and he refused to leave. Really, for three years, he has been impeached several times, and the king will not deal with it. "
Xie Wang was also very angry, the [-] troops were not dispatched, and the [-] soldiers who had just been formed in just a few years were no match for the Yijin Army with rich actual combat experience.
"My country of Yue has established its own imperial court, but it does not set up a magistrate. It tells me and other veterans to act like slaves all day long. Although we are in a high position, we nod and bow like slaves. We can only listen to the orders of the lord and suzerain."
"Don't panic, once you support your son to ascend to the throne, we will all be ministers of power. With the power of minister, you will be above ten thousand people. The prince relies so much on the spiritual grass, and only we have the spiritual grass. Then the prince will ascend to the throne. It's just a puppet, I'm the lord of the country, take your time, don't rush." Sun Yuanrui was much calmer than them, sipping his wine leisurely.
"As long as the [-] troops are dispatched, the trip can be made. We have to find a way." Jiang Zhengqing thought about it.
Xie Wang's eldest son, Xie Tingyuan, was also present. He silently listened to the elders chatting, and was also thinking in his mind:
"Lingcao is becoming more and more difficult to obtain, everyone should hurry up. For the past three years of the ban on lingcao, sea routes have been blocked, and land routes have also been sealed. Only Taihu Lake is left to trade with merchants from Wu Kingdom in the name of swimming in the lake. In the middle of Taihu Lake, it is secretly purchased and sold more and more expensively, the prince has to smoke more than ten times a day, one time is worth ten taels of gold, and one day is more than 100 taels, and the family's family will be emptied."
Hearing the sound, several people sighed heavily.
The financial power is also in Hua Muyu's hands. In the name of public affairs, they can't get much money. Moreover, Hua Muyu will even check the financial report carefully. Whenever there is a problem, he will ask all kinds of questions. Being a minister in the Yue Kingdom is really a slave .
"By the way, Li Xu of Dali Temple is leading the ban on spirit grasses. It's strange. This guy hits the king's court stick on his calf as soon as he goes to court, and he still works so hard. Is he out of his mind?"
"Hmph, it's stupid. I have been an official in the court for twenty years, and I have never been slapped once." Xie Wang raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was a little proud.
Jiang Zhengqing glanced at Xie Wang strangely:
"Have you ever thought that it is because you are a loyal minister recognized by the king that you are punished by the imperial staff?"
As soon as these words came out, several people fell into deep thinking.
"Wanhuhou and Xiaoyehou also often suffer from the court stick. Xiaoyehou would rather run to the local county magistrate after being whipped. Hearing what you said, it seems to be true..."
"Who else often suffers from the court rod?" Xie Wang asked.
"The old man from Dushuijian, the old number one scholar from Taifu Temple, the ministers from Guozijian, Military Weapons Supervision, Housekeeping Department, and Industry Department have also been imprisoned by the court for several years."
Xie Tingyuan smiled without a trace, and said:
"My elders, I have an idea in my younger generation."
"tell me the story."
"At present, the Marquis of Wanhu is conquering Yizhou, and the battle is at a stalemate. He tried to force Wu Guo to pour more troops into the border, forcing him to transfer [-] troops from Hangzhou..."
"No! You must not betray the country! Besides, what if it really falls? The Yue Kingdom is gone, so what's the use of having such power!" Xie Wang reprimanded.
Xie Tingyuan thought for a while calmly:
"It won't fall. Suzhou is guarded by the Xiaojie army. If the Xiaojie army leaves and the state of Wu knows about it, father, tell me, should the state of Wu continue to stalemate with Marquis Wanhu in Yizhou, or come to the backyard to harvest Suzhou?" ?”
"As a result, the Marquis of Wanhu had to mobilize [-] troops to go north to Suzhou. At this time, he used [-] troops to force the palace and asked the king to pass on the throne to his son. The pass on the throne is very simple, hand over the king's seal and announce it to the world. It only takes an hour to read the book, so why delay it any longer.”
"Is it a little too fast..." Several people looked at each other, still a little hesitant.
"Quick, how nice."
In the busy Juzhang County Mansion, Liang Nanling raised her head when she heard the sound, and saw Zhang Mingzhong, the governor of Yuezhou, coming in person, and brought a middle-aged man with a big belly.
"New county magistrate? Where's the grand order?" Liang Nanling was puzzled. Could it be that Chang Kao was promoted?But last year Daling had been fighting in Fuzhou and did not go to the regular exam.
"Cough cough," Zhang Mingzhong coughed lightly, avoided the topic, and smiled instead:
"The new magistrate of Liu County took office, and he doesn't know much about sentences. You masters, county magistrates, and ministers of each department should communicate more with Liu County magistrate."
After Zhang Mingzhong finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Liang Nanling hurriedly chased him out: "Where's the Grand Order? It doesn't matter if you don't come to the new county magistrate. The Daling explained it earlier, and I will take over."
"Hey, avoid suspicion, you really are," Zhang Mingzhong lowered his voice mysteriously:
"Xiao Yehou was punished for dereliction of duty and was exiled to southern Xinjiang."
"???" Liang Nanling was greatly frightened.
"Ling draft, it was found that... more than 300 people died."
"???" Liang Nanling was shocked again.
"Hey, I don't know how to say it. The case that Xiao Yehou personally found out has sent him to the sky prison. Even Wan Huhou was sent to the Northwest Xinjiang."
After Zhang Mingzhong briefly explained the brief of the case, he turned to say:
"Magistrate Liu was only temporarily transferred from Keqiao County, but if Xiao Yehou doesn't come back for many years, he may have to continue to do it. He is quite capable. Don't resist. You should manage the place well."
"Also, don't mention Xiaoyehou less, so as not to spread the news even in Yuezhou. I don't want to ruin Xiaoyehou's reputation, and I'm trying to suppress the rumors. After all, you and I know what's going on. It's Weiwei Temple in the West Mansion. I'm afraid the incident wasn't big enough, so there was an uproar that day."
Zhang Mingzhong patted Liang Nanling's shoulder, then left with a sigh.
Liang Nanling has been absent-minded all day, what's the matter?
"Eh? Tax exemption for all? Then how do you pay the taxes that are turned over to the national treasury every year?" Liu Wende asked puzzledly as he flipped through the account books.
"Annual tax, [-] shi for grain tax, and a large decree...then whoever has ten thousand mu of land can pay with that land."
"Oh, oh, what about the money class? 5 taels of gold a year is quite a lot. The whole people are exempted from taxes, so how can they pay so much?"
"Great order... Then whoever has a private business will be taken care of by me and the young order, and the money earned from foreign trade is several times more than this."
"Oh." Liu Wende touched the bridge of his nose in doubt, and asked some more questions.
Liang Nanling couldn't sit still anymore, and after answering several times, she finally stood up in a hurry and galloped towards the West Mansion.
……
"Isn't that Xiao Yehou's concubine? Tsk tsk tsk, shameless."
"???"
"Killing so many people, you still have the face to stand here! Speech! You're so shameless!"
While waiting outside the palace gate for the news of the general, Liang Nanling was scolded by the people onlookers. She looked bewildered and couldn't understand a word.
Some angry people even brought bamboo baskets and hit her with rotten vegetable leaves.
"What's your situation? I've done too much to me!" Liang Nanling had never been wronged before, and she just wanted to yell at her in anger.
Lang Jiang came back very quickly, hurriedly stood in front of her, and dragged her to the palace at a fast pace, that Lang Jiang was also splashed all over by the vegetable leaves, Liang Nanling thought it was her fault.
"Sorry to trouble you." Although angry, Liang Nanling still apologized.
"The magistrate of Juzhang County, you will understand after a while, the reputation of our Yijin Army is completely ruined, and it has nothing to do with you." Lang Jiang said in a low voice.
Sitting in the inner hall, Hua Muyu tried her best to concentrate on handling the affairs. Seeing that Liang Nanling was brought in with her whole body covered in vegetable leaves, she stood up slowly, ready to go to a secluded place to communicate.
"Why did you send Da Ling to southern Xinjiang? What did Da Ling do wrong? Do you know that Da Ling fought alone in order to investigate the case, and he didn't even dare to bring a helper, for fear of hurting others? Do you know that Da Ling was accepted? How many threats? How much suffering?"
In the secluded ear room, Liang Nanling couldn't help but accuse Hua Muyu all the time, and she wasn't afraid of being given to death.
Hua Muyu said in a cold voice, "I thought it was business to come to me, but private matters and complaints can be avoided. I am very busy."
"The case is not official? In that case, on the real case file, it says 'spiritual draft'. The murderer was not one, but a group of addicts who smoked spiritual herbs and were controlled by others. In order to investigate the case, the order also got infected with Lingcao addiction, I finally got rid of it, and it was so painful when I quit..." Still thinking of you.
"It's good for you to be injured again and again, and directly send the order to the southern border. If the order is not pursued, these [-] lives will be in vain!"
"Earlier when I assisted in the investigation of this case, I was also followed by the killer. If it weren't for the protection of Da Ling, I would rather be scolded by Meng Lang and dealt with by your family's law without explaining. I'm afraid it would be..."
The more Liang Nanling thought about it, the angrier she became, why did she treat Da Ling like this.
"It turns out..." It's not because I didn't learn well, but because I wanted to investigate the case, why didn't I explain to me, Hua Muyu was in a complicated mood:
"Understood, is there anything else?"
Liang Nanling was stabbed by her indifference, too, a district magistrate, who deserves to come to see the suzerain of Jian Guo.
"Da Ling is a good person, I hope you can understand it in your life."
She put down these words angrily, then turned and left the inner hall.
"Good man..." In just a few days, after hearing this sentence twice, even Xing'er said it inexplicably before leaving.
Take it easy, she still has a lot of things to deal with, she is so busy that she has no time to think about it.
Dali Temple Minister Li Xu was summoned to report the details of a psychic draft in detail and secretly.
"It's been plotting for a long time, my lord." Li Xu said in a low voice.
"The problem is the purpose. There is not much benefit in impeaching Mrs. Yeh. At present, the only one who gets the benefit is the eldest son. He was approved to form the Jiejie Army as he wished."
"It should not be underestimated. I believe that some courtiers are paving the way for the son to succeed to the throne. As for the benefits, the son will definitely get it after he succeeds to the throne."
"Yes," Hua Muyu paused, and ordered:
"The secretary of the Dali Temple ordered that all the commercial coasts of the country strictly check the spiritual grass to prevent it from entering the country. Those who dare to buy or sell it will be imprisoned for ten years. If the amount is huge, they will be beheaded for public display."
"The minister took the order, but if this thing enters the country, it may be impossible to guard against it. Wu Guo also has overseas trade, and some disputes with Wu trade should also be strictly investigated."
"Sure enough, I did nothing wrong to protect you," Hua Muyu thought, Dali Temple had a huge dereliction of duty, taking advantage of the chaos and the blame was all on Mrs. Ye, and fished in troubled waters to let Dali Temple avoid being cleaned. Sure enough, I did nothing wrong:
"In addition, for all addicts, if you meet one, you will take one into custody, and if there is no doubt about it, you will be forced to quit before releasing you."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Hua Muyu returned to the inner hall and called a general to get Xing'er back. She always felt that Xing'er knew something, even Xing'er seemed to know Ye Qiufeng better than her.
She has been looking at the map on the Zhu case for several days. The map not only depicts the Yue Kingdom, but also the surrounding countries, as well as the Central Plains Shang Kingdom. It is based on the intelligence from various countries.
The total strength of the Wu State is at least 50, or has reached 60. Ye Qiufeng led [-] to southern Xinjiang to declare war on Wu, which is tantamount to death.
We must find a way to protect her, at least to reduce the possibility of her and Ye Chen dying in the frontier.
Picking up a pen, Hua Muyu wrote:
[To the lord of the world, His Majesty Chai Zhou Guo, Wu Guo has conquered the north and south for more than [-] years, wantonly encroaching on the surrounding cities, Xu's Qi State is about to be completely swallowed, and our Hua Clan's Yue State has been invaded and occupied seven states one after another. What can be tolerated is unbearable. Today, it has been decided to go on a four-way campaign to recover Fuzhou, Xinzhou, Raozhou, Shezhou, and Yizhou. If it is not restored to its homeland, it will not be returned. A few years ago, Han State was invaded by Wu State. Han State has decided At this time to recover the homeland, the Yingzhou, Suzhou, Xuzhou, and Bozhou under your Majesty's rule were invaded by the Wu Kingdom in the early years. sit back and relax. 】
[To the Lord of the Han Kingdom of the Liu family, our country of Yue of the Hua family was encroached on seven states by the state of Wu one after another. Is it tolerable or unbearable? Today, I have decided to go on a four-way expedition to recover Fuzhou, Xinzhou, Raozhou, Shezhou, and Yizhou. Swearing not to return the homeland, the Central Plains Shangguo has decided to send troops to the south to recover Yingzhou, Suzhou, Xuzhou, Bozhou from Wu, and Qianzhou, which was invaded by Wu in the Han Dynasty. I think this is the time to recover. 】
Hua Muyu frowned tightly, and picked up the pen carefully and carefully. With the strategy of long-distance and short-term attack, Wu Guo was trapped by multiple troops. If it works, it can greatly disperse Wu's troops. At that time, Ye Qiufeng will face up to [-] troops. The enemy army is barely evenly matched to help her improve her chances of winning.
Thinking over and over with my father for a few days, Hua Jingding admired her intelligence, repeatedly praised her for being brave and resourceful, secretly appointed two high-ranking officials from Dali Temple as envoys, and the letter was finally taken away by the envoys. .
Being praised is not what she wants, she just wants Ye Qiufeng to come back alive and kicking.
"What else can I do."
Hua Muyu is still racking her brains, and has no time to deal with Weiwei Temple who is spreading rumors.
……
"Yijinjun and Wanhuhou, no matter how famous they are, it was more than 20 years ago. They were mighty more than 20 years ago, but it doesn't mean they are mighty now."
"It's too scary, so many people died, I dare not go out at night."
"The Yijin army has been assigned to the frontier. If they can win the battlefield, they can earn back some prestige. If they can't earn back, they will die. It's good to reorganize capable pro-army."
"There is also the brave army. The local patrol houses are patrolling. Most of them are brave generals. So many people have died. The brave army is useless. The Yijin army and the brave army are useless. They can't even protect the people. .”
"I still count on the brave army. The brave army was originally the remnants of the enemy bandits that Xiaoyehou recruited and dealt with the refugees everywhere. They should have been dealt with at that time. It was Xiaoyehou who dared to recruit, dare to keep it, and returned it to the relatives of Yue. The name and salary of the army, in fact, should not even be given the title of the wild editor, and should be used as servants."
"You can't say that. In the past ten years or so, the city has not been lost. Marquis Xiaoye recovered Chuzhou, and later recovered Jianzhou and Fuzhou. The brave army is still useful."
"Why can't it protect the people? Why are so many people dead?"
Liang Nanling wanted to know too much inside information, so she pretended to have a cough and covered half of her face with a white cloth, listening to the rumors from the people in the restaurant.
It turned out that this case involved such a huge area, Wan Huhou's reputation was ruined, and the two pro-army troops also ruined their reputations, and they were shouted and beaten by everyone like rats crossing the street.
It turns out that the purpose of manipulating addicts to kill people is so sinister.
……
After three months,
In the Palace of Funing, Hua Jingding tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, his heart was extremely irritable, the courtier proposed to move to another place to stay, but he was not willing to move.
Even around Funing Hall, nearly [-] dead bodies have been buried in the past few years, it's a bit intrusive to think about it.
But Hua Jingding is not afraid of this, and it's not that he has never experienced the battlefield. The world of Yue Kingdom was also defeated by his troops when he was young.
"Father, you're alright." Hua Muyu came to see him and was concerned about his situation.
"My son, I'm fine."
Hua Jingding sat up, sat on the edge of the bed with his head down, still thinking about something.
The two father and daughter were silent for a long time.
"Father..."
"My son..."
Suddenly speaking in unison, Hua Jingding raised his head to look at her, paused and said:
"My son, tell me first."
"Well," Hua Muyu organized his words and said:
"Shangguo has replied to accept it, and the same is true for Hanguo."
"The reputation of the Yijin Army and the Brave Army will be damaged, and their morale will definitely be affected. Moreover, the two have been assigned for more than three months. If there is no movement in the court, the generals of the two pro-army may think wildly, and even more Depressing morale, I hope my father can personally patrol the border and inform the army of the overall situation to boost morale, so that the army will not think that he is an abandoned son."
She wanted to say that she would go by herself, because... she wanted to see Ye Qiufeng.
But the more deliberate approach is for the head of the country to go, after all, the head of the country and the suzerain are not at the same level.
After Hua Jingding listened, he inexplicably snorted and chuckled.
"My son, I think the same thing, but I have another idea," while speaking, he stood up, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back:
"The generals guarding the palace have all been replaced by the Xiaojie army. I don't feel at ease, and I don't feel safe."
"It's better for you to patrol the border. The people know that you are in charge of the country and handle state affairs. They all know that I, the king of the country, prefers to sleep. It is more suitable for you to go than me."
"Just set a time and go, there is one more thing, you tell Wan Huhou, and tell him to finish it."
……
Ye Chen stationed [-] Yijin troops in Muzhou, and another [-] in the westernmost border of Hangzhou, at the junction with Muzhou.
Although he was condemned and assigned, he was worried that he would be too far away from the West Mansion. He was not a fool for such an obvious target.
He didn't blame Hua Jing Dingzhen for sending him away, he had to deal with the courtier's forced palace, so he understood.
The person with the vested interest is the crown prince, which means that the crown prince has moved his mind to succeed to the throne. He is the only son, and the throne will be his sooner or later. , using "daughter-in-law" Hua Muyu as an imaginary enemy. It is normal for the "daughter-in-law" to be feared by the Ye family who holds the military power at his back.
"No."
Ye Chen hastily called Lu Rong, General of the Yijin Army, and whispered secretly in a secluded place:
"Taking advantage of the reputation of the Yijin Army to be ruined, he led two thousand men to pretend to be retired from the army, pretend to join the Xiaojie Army, break into the palace, and secretly protect the lord and the mansion."
"Why didn't you say it earlier." Lu Rong was a little embarrassed.
"Why, didn't I just remember this." Ye Chen also knew that he was old and his brain was not as good as when he was young.
"The Xiaojie army has completely replaced the general guarding the palace, so it's... difficult."
"Oh, think of a way." Ye Chen hurriedly circled back and forth:
"I stayed in the western border of Hangzhou. I was already disobeying orders. I'm afraid I will be punished again after a long time."
"I will try my best, at least put a thousand in, is it feasible?" Lu Rong scratched his head, thinking about how to deal with this matter.
"Okay, okay, it's all up to you, you must strictly keep this secret, and you must not leak the rumors. By the way, if something really serious happens, and you need to reveal your identity, all my clothes and brocade soldiers will wear red scarves on their foreheads and commit suicide." Zuoxiu, the king understands, so he can feel more at ease."
"Okay, I understand."
Half a month after this arrangement was finalized, Hua Jingding entrusted Hua Muyu to deliver the secret edict when he was patrolling the border, and it was long overdue, and the content was consistent with his concerns.
Ye Chen gave a wry smile. It is widely rumored that I am your sense of security, so it is true.
……
The Fuzhou city tower in front of me is as solid as a rock, and the siege of the brave army seems to be scratching the itch of this fortified city.
After scratching for three months, there was no breach. On the contrary, when the counterattack was launched, the city of Jianzhou was bombarded by siege engines and was crumbling.
Wu Guo didn't pay attention to the mere Yue State at all. When attacking the city, Wu Guoyiwei's arrows, after a round of arrows, would hurt a lot of her subordinates.
"Your envoy, you have faith."
"Ah."
In the tent, Ye Qiufeng opened the letter, which was secretly delivered by Deputy General Xiao Yongchang.
Earlier, she was worried about leaving the West Mansion like this, so she asked the two brothers of the Xiao family to take Er Bailang to join the Xiaojie Army in a false manner, but they were demoted too quickly, so she couldn't arrange more for a while, otherwise she could send the guards of the palace 1 people are arranged to form their own brave army.
In case of emergency, she will wear the red robe of the brave army, so that Hua Muyu can rest assured that someone is secretly protecting her.
[Envoy: One thousand, well. 】
Burn after reading, Ye Qiufeng felt a little relieved——
A thousand brave troops have been arranged to guard the palace in secret, and Hua Muyu is safe.
Four months after the war against Fuzhou, Hua Muyu came to Jianzhou to patrol the border in person.
I heard that the Wu Kingdom was being attacked by troops sent by the Three Kingdoms and many other routes, and its military power was greatly dispersed. That's why the brave army was sent to recover the homeland, not to abandon the brave army.
The morale of the army was really boosted, and it was no longer like in the past four months, when every time they attacked the city, they were terrified of being retaliated by the state of Wu.
That day, Ye Qiufeng was sitting on the back of the city tower, with his head held high, looking at Hua Muyu from a distance. Domineering and handsome, she only has a nympho face.
It was an honor to be her mattress a few times.
Ye Qiufeng repeatedly tasted the honor of being a mattress twice, and the other time, holding her on his back for the whole night, tsk, the self that day was really bold.
……
Three years later, Baozheng is 26 years old.
The great victories of Fuzhou and Xinzhou made the West Mansion seething with excitement.
But the brave army is still in the border town, battered and battered to fight everywhere.
"My lord, Wu Guo Yizhou dispatched 30 troops to attack Huzhou. The Marquis of Wanhu asked for [-] brave troops to assist in the counterattack. Half of the Vanguard Battalion has been lost, and the Yijin Army has less than [-], which is not enough to compete."
When Ye Qiufeng received his father's request for help, he had just finished a round of Raozhou's counterattack against the Xinzhou city tower. He had [-] troops under his command, and even those who were only slightly injured could make up less than [-]. How could he transfer [-]?
"My lord, I am in a hurry. If Huzhou is conquered, the state of Wu will send troops to suppress the Xifu!"
"Your mother's maidservant! Can't go to Suzhou to call the Xiaojie Army? I'm disabled!" Ye Qiufeng burst into foul language.
"Wan Huhou sent a letter a long time ago! The Xiaojie Army said that Suzhou is located in the east of Huzhou. If Suzhou falls, Huzhou will be attacked by two forces, so they refused!"
"Why did Wu suddenly have troops attacking Huzhou? Your mother and maidservant, it's not good for the country's capital to be on the border. It's always a fire."
"Wu Guoming intends to put our country of Yue to death. Occupying Xifu is equivalent to occupying the entire country of Yue. Losing Huzhou and having no troops to defend the country will make our country more valuable than any city. Strategy value."
Ye Qiufeng turned back and forth anxiously, thinking about how to deal with it.
"Can it last for five days?" Ye Qiufeng asked.
"..."
Ye Qiufeng mobilized troops urgently, [-] wounded remained in Shouxin Prefecture, using the city tower as defense, only defending and not fighting, [-] brave soldiers rushed to Muzhou to raid Shezhou.
Shezhou is located in the north of Yizhou, and the fire in Yizhou's backyard may relieve the pressure on my father, allowing the Wu army in Yizhou to waste time on the way to support Shezhou.
In an emergency, she couldn't think of any other way, so this was the only way.
……
Xie House.
Xie Wang invited friends from the DPRK and China to be guests at home, but everyone is worried.
"Xiao Yehou is really lucky, this can take down two states, and it belongs to Wu!" Jiang Zhengqing, the servant of the Ministry of war, got angry and smashed the wine glass to pieces angrily.
"Wanhuhou is an old fox, and Xiaoyehou is a little fox. They were all dispatched to the frontiers. The Wanhuhou still left [-] troops in Hangzhou, and he refused to leave. Really, for three years, he has been impeached several times, and the king will not deal with it. "
Xie Wang was also very angry, the [-] troops were not dispatched, and the [-] soldiers who had just been formed in just a few years were no match for the Yijin Army with rich actual combat experience.
"My country of Yue has established its own imperial court, but it does not set up a magistrate. It tells me and other veterans to act like slaves all day long. Although we are in a high position, we nod and bow like slaves. We can only listen to the orders of the lord and suzerain."
"Don't panic, once you support your son to ascend to the throne, we will all be ministers of power. With the power of minister, you will be above ten thousand people. The prince relies so much on the spiritual grass, and only we have the spiritual grass. Then the prince will ascend to the throne. It's just a puppet, I'm the lord of the country, take your time, don't rush." Sun Yuanrui was much calmer than them, sipping his wine leisurely.
"As long as the [-] troops are dispatched, the trip can be made. We have to find a way." Jiang Zhengqing thought about it.
Xie Wang's eldest son, Xie Tingyuan, was also present. He silently listened to the elders chatting, and was also thinking in his mind:
"Lingcao is becoming more and more difficult to obtain, everyone should hurry up. For the past three years of the ban on lingcao, sea routes have been blocked, and land routes have also been sealed. Only Taihu Lake is left to trade with merchants from Wu Kingdom in the name of swimming in the lake. In the middle of Taihu Lake, it is secretly purchased and sold more and more expensively, the prince has to smoke more than ten times a day, one time is worth ten taels of gold, and one day is more than 100 taels, and the family's family will be emptied."
Hearing the sound, several people sighed heavily.
The financial power is also in Hua Muyu's hands. In the name of public affairs, they can't get much money. Moreover, Hua Muyu will even check the financial report carefully. Whenever there is a problem, he will ask all kinds of questions. Being a minister in the Yue Kingdom is really a slave .
"By the way, Li Xu of Dali Temple is leading the ban on spirit grasses. It's strange. This guy hits the king's court stick on his calf as soon as he goes to court, and he still works so hard. Is he out of his mind?"
"Hmph, it's stupid. I have been an official in the court for twenty years, and I have never been slapped once." Xie Wang raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was a little proud.
Jiang Zhengqing glanced at Xie Wang strangely:
"Have you ever thought that it is because you are a loyal minister recognized by the king that you are punished by the imperial staff?"
As soon as these words came out, several people fell into deep thinking.
"Wanhuhou and Xiaoyehou also often suffer from the court stick. Xiaoyehou would rather run to the local county magistrate after being whipped. Hearing what you said, it seems to be true..."
"Who else often suffers from the court rod?" Xie Wang asked.
"The old man from Dushuijian, the old number one scholar from Taifu Temple, the ministers from Guozijian, Military Weapons Supervision, Housekeeping Department, and Industry Department have also been imprisoned by the court for several years."
Xie Tingyuan smiled without a trace, and said:
"My elders, I have an idea in my younger generation."
"tell me the story."
"At present, the Marquis of Wanhu is conquering Yizhou, and the battle is at a stalemate. He tried to force Wu Guo to pour more troops into the border, forcing him to transfer [-] troops from Hangzhou..."
"No! You must not betray the country! Besides, what if it really falls? The Yue Kingdom is gone, so what's the use of having such power!" Xie Wang reprimanded.
Xie Tingyuan thought for a while calmly:
"It won't fall. Suzhou is guarded by the Xiaojie army. If the Xiaojie army leaves and the state of Wu knows about it, father, tell me, should the state of Wu continue to stalemate with Marquis Wanhu in Yizhou, or come to the backyard to harvest Suzhou?" ?”
"As a result, the Marquis of Wanhu had to mobilize [-] troops to go north to Suzhou. At this time, he used [-] troops to force the palace and asked the king to pass on the throne to his son. The pass on the throne is very simple, hand over the king's seal and announce it to the world. It only takes an hour to read the book, so why delay it any longer.”
"Is it a little too fast..." Several people looked at each other, still a little hesitant.
"Quick, how nice."
