Chapter 451: Rebuilding Chen Shui
Speaking is a very learned thing, everyone can speak, but why do some people like people, and some people offend people with one mouth?
Especially in the court, saying the wrong word may lead to death. In the same way, not only can you speak, but you also have to be able to listen, if you can't listen to the strings and know the elegant meaning, then you can only be an ordinary person, and it is definitely not suitable for the development of the officialdom of deceit.
The three royal brothers talked freely in the prince's mansion for a long time, and on the surface, they seemed to be happy, brothers and brothers were harmonious and brotherly, but what was really meant behind it was difficult for outsiders to understand.
After the third prince returned to his mansion, he immediately sent someone to secretly investigate the affairs of the Dongqing Army, Ouyang Yunqing did not tell him the marching route of the Dongqing Army when he came back, of course, out of trust in Ouyang Yunqing, I also did not ask again. If what the second prince said is true, then there is a huge problem in his camp, and in the battle for the throne, he will inevitably be out of the game early!
In the camp of the three princes, Ouyang Yunqing's role is pivotal, and it can even be said that the three princes rely on the most. When he heard that there was something wrong with Ouyang Chen, he was scared into a cold sweat on the spot, and then he thought about whether Ouyang Yunqing was sincere in supporting him, if he had different intentions, the third prince could say that the chess game had not been opened, and he had already lost the whole game!
Seeing off the two imperial brothers, the crown prince Li He sat alone in the pavilion and pondered, and Zhou Sisi came and appeared in front of the prince.
After seeing Zhou Sisi, Li He asked, "Did you hear our conversation?"
Zhou Sisi tapped the head of the mantis.
"What do you think?" asked Li He continued.
"The second prince is very dangerous, and the third prince is not to be worried. Zhou Sisi said lightly.
"Aifei, in your opinion, what should we do next?" Li He asked again.
"Act according to the plan, but there are some places that need to be changed, such as the arrangement of Guping Prefecture and Chen Shui Prefecture. Zhou Sisi replied.
"Oh? ”
"Since you have put these two states in the hands of General Li Quan, you must remove the obstacles for him and let him take full control of them as soon as possible. At present, a large number of troops are hoarded there, and we will find a way to transfer them away to attack Linhan Prefecture or Quanshou Prefecture, and it is best to recover the lost territory, even if we can't recover it, we will weaken the forces that do not belong to us, and we will reap the benefits of the fishermen. Zhou Sisi offered advice.
"It's a good plan, but how can we get those people to listen to us?"
"Ask them to send troops on the grounds of the righteousness of the country and the danger of the nation, these people can help Pingcheng, it means that they are all chivalrous, to deal with this kind of people, then kidnap them with morality, they will naturally go, not only will not doubt our intentions, but will also go to fight hard. Zhou Sisi said with a smile.
"Okay, that's it!But that Ye Heng is really a talent, can you think of a way to pull him into our camp? If it can be used by me, it will be a huge help for us!" Li He said with emotion.
"Then I'll go to Heicheng myself and try to convince him. Let's do this......" Zhou Sisi whispered to the prince in a low voice.
Li He nodded frequently when he listened, and a satisfied smile slowly appeared on his face.
On the morning of the second day, the crown prince announced the decision to send troops to recover Linhanzhou, and in view of the limited number of troops available to the imperial court, the ministers set the number of troops at 20,000 after some discussion in the court, and elected the general Ruan Hongfeng as the marshal.
Ruan Hongfeng was a veteran of the DPRK and China, who had fought all his life and had outstanding military achievements, and had a high prestige in the army of the Shuntian Empire. Moreover, he belongs to the neutral faction in the DPRK, and he will lead the expedition, and the forces of all parties will not be suspicious of each other, so he is a very suitable candidate.
After making a plan to go on the expedition, after retiring from the dynasty, the crown prince Li He and the princess went to the Heroic Martial Academy, and the martial academy was personally received by Elder Wu.
After a period of greetings, the prince expressed his intention, he wanted to invite the God of War Regiment of the Heroic Martial Academy to go to Pingcheng with the army of the imperial court, and then unite the armed forces of Pingcheng to jointly attack Linhan Prefecture, help the imperial court recover the lost territory, and relieve the pressure of the Dingjiang garrison.
Elder Wu asked the two to wait for a while, and immediately called a meeting of the high-level officials, and after deliberation, finally agreed to the prince's request. The two sides agreed to send troops in two days, and the prince thanked him repeatedly and left the martial arts.
When the God of War Regiment learned that it was going to Pingcheng to join the regiment commander, the whole regiment was very excited, and immediately prepared to send out the matter.
Just when the imperial court decided to send troops to Pingcheng, Ye Heng convened various forces to discuss major matters in Tiancang City, the state capital of Chen Shuizhou.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now that Chen Shuizhou is under our control, since the Taiyin Sect has taken root here for too long, there will definitely be remnants of evil, and a certain number of troops must be left to garrison here; Ye Heng sat at the head and said.
"It's okay for our Heavenly Thorn Battalion to charge into battle, but it's definitely not okay to do anything else. Besides, this mission has been completed, and we have to return to the imperial capital to restore our lives, and there is nothing we can do about it. Feng Zhenkun showed his attitude and took out the Heavenly Thorn Camp first.
"We don't have enough people in Xuantian Palace to take on this great responsibility. You Yue said slowly, although his words were light, his attitude was very resolute.
"Brother Ye Heng, our beggar gang can help, we have all of them, but we can only maintain order in Chen Shuizhou in secret, and we can't get on the stage. Tie Yangfeng shook his head and said.
The leaders of the other forces spoke one after another, but none of them thought that they could not exercise power on behalf of the government, after all, managing one side of the power and managing a state are two different things, and all the aspects involved are too complicated, even if everyone wants to help, they are powerless to come forward.
Li Quan is now sitting in the ancient city to restore the order of the entire ancient Pingzhou, Gao Lang is presiding over the affairs of Pingcheng instead of Ye Heng, Ye Heng really can't think of who is more suitable to manage Chen Shuizhou.
"Ye Heng, I don't think it's as good as this, how about asking the Northwest Hou to send someone to take over Chen Shuizhou?" said Zhou Wen, the great elder of Xiangyun Village. In fact, many forces from Jinyang Prefecture have this meaning, but after all, Chen Shuizhou was brought down by everyone, so it was sent to the Northwest Hou to take charge, and everyone was afraid that others would feel uncomfortable, so no one took the initiative to make this suggestion. After all, the Great Elder is Ye Heng's elder, and if he makes this suggestion, whether Ye Heng agrees or not, at least he will not have a mustard in his heart.
Ye Heng patted his thigh and said excitedly: "Why didn't I think of it! Well, without further ado, I'll leave to find Master Hou now!"
"Hey, hey, how can you hear that the wind is rain, what should we do if you leave?" the Great Elder stopped.
"Everyone is here for a few days, and I can be back in two days at most. Ye Heng said.
"Alright then, you go early and come back early, and we will continue to discuss the matter of sweeping away the remnants. The Great Elder said.
Ye Heng immediately left the conference hall, unfolded his body and came to the outside of the city, originally wanted to find the Red Wolf Flame King to borrow a giant wolf to travel, but who knew that the wolf king directly turned into his body and personally took Ye Heng to Jinyang Prefecture.
After Ye Heng left, the leaders of all parties worked together to find a way to solve the problems left by the Taiyin Sect. After the meeting, according to the discussed strategy, the forces of all parties divided their men into several squads and scattered them to various places in Chen Shuizhou, disguised as people from various industries, and secretly searched for the remnants of the Taiyin Sect. Although this method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, the effect is surprisingly good. When Ye Heng returned from Jinyang Prefecture, he actually saw Wu Qin, the Taishang Elder of the Taiyin Sect, who was dormant!
After Wu Qin found out that the general trend of the Taiyin Sect had gone, he immediately led the surviving disciples to leave Tiancang City, and in order to hide their identities and for the convenience of their disciples' cultivation, they opened a brothel in a small city, intending to secretly accumulate strength, and then make a comeback. Wu Qin thought that what he was doing was seamless, but where could he have thought that in any small place, a new thing suddenly appeared, and it would inevitably be noticed and discussed by the people around him. Those who talk about it will guess what your origin is based on some clues and wild imagination.
Because ordinary life is boring, especially some idle and boring women, who like to talk behind their backs. Wu Qin's brothel had just opened, and naturally he couldn't escape the women's discussions on the streets, so it naturally attracted the attention of those who were secretly looking for the Taiyin Sect. So the brothel that Wu Qin had just opened was taken care of, and in the case of dispatching a group of masters, he wiped out the remnants of the Taiyin Sect!
With the help of the Red Flame Wolf King, Ye Heng rushed to Jinyang Prefecture that night, and after meeting the Northwest Marquis, Ye Heng reported to him the situation in Chen Shuizhou. The Marquis of Northwest asked him to rest for one night, and gathered the staff of the palace overnight to discuss the matter.
Early the next morning, the Northwest Marquis brought hundreds of men and horses that had been prepared to Ye Heng, and they took over the management of Chen Shuizhou. The Northwest Hou also told Ye Heng to organize an army to help garrison Chen Shuizhou, so that Chen Shuizhou actually formed a situation in which the Northwest Hou and Ye Heng were jointly in charge, the Northwest Hou was responsible for the political economy, and Ye Heng organized people to be responsible for military order.
Ye Heng led hundreds of people to set off immediately, day and night, and finally rushed back to Chenshuizhou after a day and a night. The men sent by the Northwest Hou immediately took up their posts and took over the management of the entire Chenshui Prefecture. The first thing they did when they took office was to issue various decrees on tax reductions and exemptions, to reward farming, to encourage production, and to severely crack down on individuals and forces who dared to disrupt the new order!
The people of Chenshui Prefecture have been living under the oppression of the Taiyin Sect for a long time, but when have they ever enjoyed such treatment? The people were ecstatic and rushed to tell each other. Of course, there are also those who do not believe that these decrees will be implemented smoothly. Some people have a fluke mentality to report to the government the bastards who used to work for the Taiyin Sect, although these people did not directly mutilate those poor women, but they attracted the people of the Taiyin Sect to harm these women from good families.
These people usually fly high, bully men and women, and with the support of the Taiyin Sect, they are even more unscrupulous, and the people hate them so much, but there is no way to take them. Even if it is sent to the government, the government and the Taiyin Sect collude with each other, not only will they not punish their crimes, but they will also bite the complainant, and the complainant will end up miserable. In the long run, the common people dare not speak out, and they can only consider themselves unlucky when they encounter injustices.
After receiving the complaint from the people, the new ruler immediately reported the matter to Ye Heng, and Ye Heng sent someone to arrest them in prison pending trial. The new ruler issued a proclamation to the whole city that the bastard scoundrels would be tried publicly on the second day.
The people who got the news came to the court early the next day, wanting to see how the current government was different from the past. Due to the large number of people who came to watch the trial, Ye Heng consulted with the rulers sent by the Northwest Hou and decided to try it in public on the main street of Tiancang City.
This kind of trial method is unprecedented for Chen Shuizhou, and the person who sued is a young man who wants to sue Wu San, a famous bastard in Tiancang City. How could the young man have ever seen such a scene? But thinking of the wrongs he had suffered, he turned his heart on his face and trembled to make public the evil deeds of the defendant Wu San one by one.
It turned out that this Wu San was a distant relative of an elder of the Taiyin Sect, his parents had been married for several years and had not given birth, so the two of them had no hope of having children, and they had no choice but to adopt an adopted daughter. It's strange to say, when the adopted daughter was five years old, Wu San's mother was actually pregnant, and successfully gave birth to a big fat boy, Wu San's parents were ecstatic and regarded it as a treasure.
