The text was clutched into a paper ball by Zhang Shucheng, but what was written on it was heart-wrenching:

Strict food has been established for more than 300 years, and the outside cannot revitalize the country's prestige, and the people cannot be rich inside. Dare to ask Zhu Jun, in the seventeen years of his reign, has he ever changed the strict diet?

The world is the world of the people of the world, Zhu Jun is incompetent, and he should abdicate and make way for the virtuous. There are Xiao Shanren in the small city of Guangming, inheriting the fortune of heaven and helping the people of Li, with the strength of one person, in just three years, everyone in the small city of Guangming is rich, there is surplus grain every year, and there are fish and meat in the meals.

Nowadays, a large number of displaced people gather in the small city of Guangming, Xiao Shanren is sad and merciful, and is willing to make a living in the world, enrich the country, and then prosper the righteous teacher. At the beginning of January, the small city of Guangming has gone through eleven cities in six states so far, the righteous teacher has arrived, the people's hearts have returned, more than 3,000 miles, no disaster has been caused by a people and a he, until the capital.

At the beginning of the siege, Zhu Junnuozhi, considering the time in January, Xiao Shanren believed in Buddhism and compassion, and did not want to hurt the people in the city, even if he knew that the opportunity was slim, he still risked his life and besieged but did not attack. Today, it has reached more than a month.

I think I have 10,000 righteous teachers, strong soldiers and strong horses, if I attack the capital of Shanhua, it can be broken overnight, but Xiao Shanren thinks about the people in the city, and endures again and again, I don't know how Zhu Jun in the city thinks about it, and how to explain it to the people. Is it going to be like this for months, years?

Xiao Shanren promised that if he entered the city, he would not disturb the people, and each household would be given 500 taels of silver to reassure the people.

I apologize again for the worries caused to the people of Shanhua City in the past few months!

……

After a long time, Zhu Bangyu recovered from the shock of the artillery, saw the paper ball in Zhang Shucheng's hand, and silently stretched out his hand.

"The emperor's ......" Zhang Shucheng was obviously reluctant to hand over the text, so he had to silently ask for a bow.

"Old Prime Minister, bring it." His hand was not put down, and he took the text that Zhang Shucheng handed over tremblingly, Zhu Bangyu frowned and looked at it, his face became more and more pale, suddenly, he spurted out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the sky, and when he fell, he only had time to say two words in his mouth: "Vertical ......"

Zeng Kui hurriedly supported the emperor, and the group hurried towards the palace.

In the imperial study, Zeng Kui looked at the text angrily, and said angrily in a low voice: "Good calculation, good intentions, good, good ......"

Zhang Shucheng frowned deeply all the way and was silent, only then did he figure out the cause and effect, and echoed: "Yes, what a deep calculation." It turns out that from the very beginning, the anti-thieves have led us to a road, a road of no return. ”

Zeng Kui didn't quite understand, "How can Master Zhang say this?" ”

"Do you remember our conversation more than two months ago?" Zhang Shucheng sighed and said.

Zeng Kui thought for a moment, his face turned pale for a while, sure enough, the most unlikely thing happened, so to speak, the practice of encircling the border of the Three Kingdoms was actually to create opportunities for anti-thieves? beat his chest at the moment, regretted not being at the beginning, and did not listen to the old prime minister's words.

Looking at Zeng Kui, who was pale, Zhang Shucheng said with relief: "Lord Zeng doesn't need to blame himself, it's really that the thief is too cunning, and the depth of planning for this matter makes people sigh." ”

"Lord Zhang? It's just a false text. ”

"Well, don't you understand? Well, let me tell you about it. Zhang Shucheng sighed and said.

"Let's start from the border of the Three Kingdoms, Tai'an Country, Qinghai Country, Liuyun Country, for three hundred years, we have not committed any crimes in autumn, but before March, we suddenly raised the border, this kind of thing is already weird."

"The Three Kingdoms are on the side, and Lord Zeng's response is reasonable, which gives the anti-thieves an opportunity to take advantage of it, and they even count the seasons in it. Suddenly launched more than a month ago, it was the time of deep spring, the light rain was continuous, if the border army wanted to return to the king of Duqin, what should they do? ”

"Regard yourself as a top priority, and take shortcuts day and night." Zeng Kui thought of the three urgent reports.

"Yes, you can think of it, how can more than 10,000 anti-thieves not think of it, but since they can think of it, why did they promise so smoothly?"

Zeng Kui suddenly realized, "They, they create trouble on the road, the spring rain is muddy, the mountain road is difficult to walk, I eat harshly and mostly in the mountains, if you want to stop my border army from returning to the capital, you only need to do some tricks and feet on a road that must be passed." ”

"Then why did they do it?"

"Yes, why, with the strength they showed that day, it is indeed as they said, I am afraid that they will break through the capital of Shanhua, but it will not happen overnight, but why did they do it? Is it really for the innocent people of the city? ”

Zhang Shucheng shook his head and said helplessly: "They are indeed very good at buying people's hearts, which should be one of the reasons, but I think the main reason is ......" swallowed his saliva, Zhang Shucheng said heavily: "The black-clothed cannon has not been shipped, or it has not been built." "The month they generously gave them was exactly what they really needed. At the beginning, the 10,000 black-clad soldiers suddenly arrived in the capital, and when I looked at their military appearance, they were a little disordered. When he first arrived, although I had the intention to go out of the city to try it, who dared to ignore the emperor's safety and take the initiative to attack more than 10,000 enemy soldiers with only 2,000 guards, no matter what, this matter could not be done. The enemy's grasp of people's hearts is so thorough. It's no wonder that the Strict Food is in crisis now.

Zeng Kui was shocked beyond words, thinking about all the encounters in the past few months, combined with the text he had just seen, he trembled and said: "What is the role of the text? ”

"I'm afraid it's their last resort to force the palace."

"That nonsense, I don't believe that the six states and eleven cities along the way have all descended to the thieves and opened the door to convenience. Also, according to this, the month of time we discussed with him has now become evidence that the court deceived the people, and this is all a lie. Zeng Kui laughed angrily, and even burst out with swear words: "The whole article is a fart!" ”

Zhang Shucheng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's not all, they are from Guangming Town, it may be true, and Xiao Shanren may really have people, over the years, I also know the changes in Guangming City, that remote sea city, now it is extremely prosperous, I am afraid that it will not lose the capital." "Even if what is said in the text is a lie, even if the facts are contrary, if the people believe it, it is enough.

"What are they rebelling for?"

"I don't know, with the livelihood of the people in the world? I don't believe it. Zhang Shucheng shook his head again, secretly thinking that behind this incident, maybe it was the meaning of the three neighboring countries. Hey, I should have paid attention to some clues, three years ago, Tai'an, Qinghai, and Liuyun suddenly rose sharply in food prices, causing a chain reaction, but my strict diet was not affected. Presumably, since then, they have been preparing military rations.

Zhang Shucheng probably never dreamed that Xiao Shanren was for the livelihood of the people in the world, and three years ago, the initiator of the crazy increase in grain prices in the Three Kingdoms was only Xiao Dafu. He used his astonishing wealth to buy hoarded grain, which was a small condition that the Three Kingdoms were now required to send troops.

Since the departure of the ten directions, two years of observation, two years of operation, when the small city of Guangming began to change according to its own will under the massive wealth, a seed has taken root in Xiao Dafu's heart.

A city and a county guard, a captain, a long history, a meritorious ...... All bowed down to money, this is power;

A group of brothers who share life and death, have a deep friendship, but it is difficult to resist the offensive of money, and they fall apart in two years, which is love;

One by one, reckless heroes, before spending a lot of money, obediently formed a military * team that was forbidden by order, this is a force.

Money, but ghosts and gods, what else can't be done? If it doesn't work, it's not enough!

A city has changed its appearance with the support of money, so whether a country can also be rich with its own efforts, so that all the people who are not worried about food and clothing can be willing to take refuge in my Buddha!

Xiao Dafu stared at Shanhua City tightly with fanatical eyes, as if he saw thousands of people who believed in Buddhism reciting Buddhist scriptures and bowing and worshipping.

"My lord, the people in the city have been stirred up, no matter what the result is, then Zhu Bangyu'er will not be comfortable."

"Well, in this case, the wealth we prepared in Shanhua City half a year ago should also shake the eyes of those officials."

"Yes." Feng Haotian bowed and retreated, tonight, it was destined not to be too calm.

The Emperor's Bedchamber.

"W-where is this noise?" Zhu Bangyu's face was still pale, and he asked weakly after drinking the medicine.

"Your Majesty......" Pang Gonggong snorted, but he didn't say anything.

"Say!"

"After reading the inscription, the people thought that you had deceived them, and now they are gathered at the gate of the palace, shouting, shouting......"

"What are you yelling about?"

Gonggong Pang was so frightened that he knelt down, "The slave doesn't dare to say." ”

"Say, I forgive you for your innocence."

"Shout for ...... Let...... Let you abdicate. ”

Zhu Bangyu trembled, and after a long time, he calmed down, and asked quietly: "What about the old prime minister and the military department?" ”

"They went to maintain order outside the palace."

"Tell me the will, don't ask, don't hurt the people, they are all blinded, and in the middle of the night, they will eventually disperse." Zhu Bangyu waved his hand weakly, listening to the noise coming from outside the palace, he was gloomy for a while, could it be that the foundation of my Zhu family for more than 300 years is really going to be lost in my hands?

Retreating from the eunuchs and palace maids serving around him, Zhu Bangyu carefully picked up the pillow and took out a jade box from the secret door on the bed, his eyes flickered, and he didn't move for a long time......

This is destined to be a sleepless night.

Even when the people were tired and dispersed, they still could not sleep. And by the night, there were some uninvited guests outside the doors of dozens of ministers in the court.

The night is deeper......

Bright Town, this remote sea city, as usual, grabbed the tail of the night, sleeping quietly, even if it has a new look now, it has not changed its habits, because the last night is the only one in control at this time.

People should be in a deep sleep at this time, of course, except for some people in Shanhua City, and at this time, outside the small city of Guangming, in a Taoist temple firewood house on a remote mountain peak.
