Chapter 894: Another Incident
Since the incident with the Seventh Princess, since he couldn't step into the City Lord's Mansion anymore, he was worried all day long, but he didn't worry about his white head.
According to the agreement between the town border marquis and him, he wrote a letter every ten days to report the situation in the city, not that the town border marquis could not write a letter to Wan Taishou, but that the large army should know the situation in the city, so as to decide whether the 200,000 or so people should return to the city partially, or find danger to set up camp in the terrain.
It would be best if you could enter the city safely, after all, if you leave the people, you must leave soldiers to protect you.
Originally, it was 100,000 Northern Xinjiang troops against 200,000 Hu troops, and if they were divided again, their chances of winning this battle would be even less.
can relocate all the people in the border and Taiwan cities, not to mention Wan Taishou, even if the town is sitting in the two cities, he is not sure enough, who is willing to give up the industry and go away.
Today's letter is the second after King Zhou came to Northern Xinjiang.
Wan Tai's heart is like a cat scratching, the pen that is lifted is put down, put down and lifted.
He didn't tell the truth in his last letter, he thought about the difficulty of his father and brother in transferring the people, and the letter he wrote made him throw it into the charcoal basin, and the letter sent to the town border Hou only said that everything was fine, and the people in the city had cooperated with the southward migration.
He's irritable, he can't write this letter like that!
He put pen to paper and said, "Why don't you tell the truth?" Then he shook his head, how could he write? Write that the people in the city are ten out of ten and nine empty, and now the border and Taiwan have become empty cities?
But if he really wrote like this, he would definitely ask him what he did? How did he do it? How would he go back then? Could it be that the two cities of Huibian and Taiwan were taken by the king of Zhou, and the people in the city could not believe the king of Zhou, so they took the initiative to leave?
Wan Taishou sighed heavily, he could think of his father's and brother's anxiety when he learned the truth at this moment, and his elderly father would definitely rush back day and night. And the elder brother will be under more pressure because of his father's departure.
Not to mention anything else, when it is said that the city is now fine, there is really no need for him to toss his father and brother so much.
He took up his pen and wrote, "All is well in the city, the people have gone to one or two...... and he changed one to two or three, and when he felt that the whole letter was the same, he copied it again.
He pretended to be a letter and sat down in his chair as if relieved, his face sad, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, why did you send such a person?"
"It's too guarding, it's too guarding. The voice of the general came from outside the door.
Wan Taishou stood up suddenly, he walked out in three steps and two steps, and when he opened the door of the house, he saw the general of the Hou Mansion on the edge of the town running and shouting, "Taishou, something is wrong." ”
Wan Taishou said nervously: "But the Hu people called?"
When the general heard Wan Taishou's words, his expression froze instantly, and he hurriedly said, "No, no." It was that King Zhou who had an accident again. ”
Wan Taishou stumbled, "What good did she do?"
The general gasped and said: "She posted a notice at the city gate, saying that Dong Shijie, the son of the Hubu Shangshu, and Xiao Ruide, the son of King Qing, have carried out good deeds in the two cities of Bian and Tai for two days, and the results have been fruitful. In order to publicize such good deeds, the imperial court informed the people of the city. He also let people shout at the city gate, saying that the good hall is on the East Street, and the people who have no food can go over to buy grain, two pieces of bread, ten pieces of cotton clothes, and a doctor for free consultation. ”
Wan Taishou is full of black lines, who is a good person with such fanfare, saying that it is the imperial court that promotes good people and good deeds, but they are insiders, who don't know what King Zhou's idea is.
He said with a clear conscience: "What they have done is indeed a good deed, and now the two cities of Bian and Taiwan are about to become empty cities, and the three of them have made great contributions." ”
The corners of the general's mouth twitched slightly, and he continued: "Not only this, but also ......"
Wan Taishou was shocked: "What else did she do?"
The family general said: "King Zhou also asked people to raid the two big households in the city, saying that all the money and grain confiscated to help the people, but our people came back and said that the antiques, calligraphy and paintings of the two families were all taken to the city lord's mansion." ”
Wan Taishou said excitedly: "How dare she, she is not afraid of arousing the anger of the people?"
The general stood on the spot, and then said: "She estimated that she didn't beat many people in the city, and she couldn't arouse the anger of the people." ”
Wan Tai Shou ......
He turned and walked back into the house.
The general followed him inexplicably.
I saw Wan Taishou angrily pick up the letter that had just been written on the table and threw it directly into the charcoal basin.
The family will be confused by Wan Taishou's actions.
Wan Taishou shouted: "Come on, prepare the horse." If the king of Zhou does not see him again, then he will simply come truthfully and ask his father to go back to the city first.
The general followed behind Wan Taishou and said in a low voice: "Taishou, can't we write a letter to ask the old marquis to go back to the city first?"
Wan Taishou gritted his teeth, "Later, if she can't give a reasonable explanation, just tell the truth!"
The family general looked happy and said in his heart: "When the old marquis comes back, see how your ignorant child can regenerate the incident." ”
Wan Taishou took his generals to the City Lord's Mansion together.
This time, the gatekeeper did not stop again.
In the hall, Dong Shijie said: "Ruyi, are you going to see them?"
Dong Ruyi said with a smile: "This rabbit is in a hurry and bites, I won't see him again, wouldn't it be a big deal for me to stab me at the old marquis." ”
The corners of Xiao Ruide's mouth twitched, "How are you going to talk about copying those two families?"
Dong Ruyi smiled and said, "Come truthfully." ”
Lilac's voice sounded: "Lord Wang, Wan Taishou asks to see you." ”
Dong Ruyi laughed, "This person came really fast, it seems that he doesn't agree with my approach!"
Her people have been monitoring the every move of the Zhenbian Hou Mansion and the Taicheng Prefect, and someone just rushed to the Zhenbian Hou Mansion from the city gate, even if she was at this time, but she didn't think that Wan Taishou would come without even thinking about it.
If it is said that Dong Ruyi has made a merit in moving away the people of northern Xinjiang, but she not only seized the city silently, but also ignored the goods of the merchants; if it is said that she opened grain to help the people, but she also made a list of good people, and besides, the money and grain were originally provided by the imperial court to help northern Xinjiang.
Where has Wan Taishou seen someone who embezzled and accepted bribes while using the greedy money to help the people. Isn't this sick, thinking that life is too leisurely?
Lilac looked at the two people in front of her, and Lilac said, "Wan Tai please, but others are not allowed to enter." ”
After she finished speaking, she also explained: "Our prince is not greedy for power, he doesn't value gold and silver, and now he is afraid that the city will come to thank him, so except for the people who the prince has explained, no one else is allowed to enter." ”
Wan Tai Shou ......
When the general heard this, he almost jumped to his feet, if he was not greedy for power, he would take over the city? If he didn't value gold and silver, he would accept bribes? What else is thanking, when did he say that he was going to thank him?
Wan Taishou walked straight in, but his steps were not as neat as when he first came in. He stepped into the lobby and stopped in an instant, he looked at the originally empty lobby of the City Lord's Mansion, and almost thought that he was in the wrong place.
