Chapter 174: Loyal Ministers and Rebels
Gao Yuanfeng's claim is indeed naΓ―ve. In this era, the people in power do not consider the people's will at all, and the people are only the 'cattle and sheep' they shepherd in the hearts of the people. The people did not dare to fight for their own rights and interests, because the force of the cultivators was too different from the force of the ordinary people to be surmounted.
Supermen who are high up, where do they care about the wishes of the people. Ordinary grass people, how dare they disobey the superior who is regarded as an immortal god by them.
Huangfu Ying and Gao Cheng also disagreed with Gao Yuanfeng's ideas, even though Gao Cheng was originally born in poverty. However, they spoiled Gao Yuanfeng excessively and let him 'do whatever he wanted'.
Gao Yuanfeng was because he had seen the misery of the people of Yanhu County, and the hard work of Yang Kaibu, and then Zhou Zhi looted Chen Di in order to attack Gao Yuanfeng's Chen Ruoxu Lei Qianjun Department, causing Chen Di to rise up in the opposite direction; Gao Yuanfeng felt that he had the spare strength to do something for the people and add a little heart-warming smile to the world, so he had the leisure to consider the grass people.
If you already have a heart, you will naturally stick to it.
Gao Yuanfeng changed his angle, "Uncle and grandfather, the Song family has been ambushed, and this place is already a territory directly under the imperial dynasty. I don't think Your Majesty wants to see the people in the territory miserable. The taxes paid here will be paid directly to the imperial court. Isn't it true that the richer the people, the more taxes they pay? In any case, it is better to remain stable than to be turbulent. β
Huang Furen still said the same thing, "That's the matter of the Heavenly Official Mansion and the Diguan Mansion." β
"Okay, I admit that it's a matter of the Heavenly Official Mansion and the Diguan Mansion. But they haven't had time to care about it yet. As a courtier of the imperial court, shouldn't he do something for the country and the king?" Gao Yuanfeng insisted: "I am going to send someone to pick up this place for the time being, and when the Tianguan Mansion and the Diguan Mansion send someone to accept it, I will transfer it to them." It's a good city, why bother to let it become a mess and clean it up?
In addition, if the army of Matsukawa Castle is forcibly disbanded, the soldiers will lose the salary they rely on to support their families, and they will have no means to make a living in their desperation, which will eventually be a disaster.
I'm ready to be accepted, adapted. Some people retained, and they may not be a new force of the dynasty in the future. Some are dismissed, but they are given a grace period until they find a way to support their families. β
Huang Furen knew that he couldn't stop the stubborn Gao Yuanfeng, and reminded: "Do you know that you are committing a taboo? His Majesty will not care about the taboo things you did in the Zhou State before, because that was what Guo Libin tricked you into doing. Now that he is in the imperial dynasty, there are some things that cannot be done casually.
It is your business to get into trouble, and I suggest that you write a letter at the same time, stating to Your Majesty that everything you have done is for the country and the king.
There is also the matter of Jiang Yifan. Do you know Jiang Yifan's identity? The third son of Jiang Renjie, the leader of the Fish and Dragon Gang, is the most talented hero of the Jiang family. You let him go, I hope it doesn't go back to the mountains. You also have to make this matter clear, otherwise when the Fish Dragon Gang becomes an enemy of Lifeng again in the future, you will not be able to escape the suspicion of conniving with the enemy. β
Gao Yuanfeng is humbly taught. After the meal, he immediately got up and went to the city to deal with the remaining matters of Matsukawa Castle.
Gao Yuanfeng summoned Guo Yehe and Guo Jiafeng, who joined the pro-guard team, and explained his plans to them clearly, and asked them to pick some people to stay together to support Songhe City. The middle and high-ranking officials of Songhe City were killed by Huang Furen
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
clean, I had to keep more generals to serve in various positions.
Guo Yehe was overjoyed, Songhe City originally belonged to the sixth order, even if it was downgraded, it was at least equivalent to the fifth order, the county level. The presiding officer of Songhe is equivalent to a county guard. This is higher than his old father's position.
Guo Jiafeng refused to stay and insisted on staying in the pro-guards.
Gao Yuanfeng had no choice but to summon Gao Kaishan and order him to stay and be responsible for changing the Songhe army. Guo Yehe is in charge of government affairs.
I don't know how Gao Yuanfeng's conversation with Huang Furen in the cabin spread, and the whole city knows about it. So much so that when Guo Yehe basically grasped the situation in Gao Kaishan and set sail in the high wind, the people in the north and south cities of Songhe and the north and south spontaneously went to the river to see off the army and loudly praised the merits of the high and distant wind.
It is inevitable to be grateful to Gao Yuanfeng, Gao Yuanfeng did not plunder a single meter and a drop in Songhe City, and the replenishment of military supplies was paid. Moreover, the taxes of Songhe City were reduced, because without the exploitation of the Song family, in addition to the tribute paid to the imperial dynasty, only the officials of the city and the reduced army were needed.
Some villagers brought an empty plaque, and they had to ask Gao Yuanfeng to write the words 'Immortal Temple' by hand. The people of Songhe City insisted on building an immortal shrine for Gao Yuanfeng.
Gao Yuanfeng was not complacent because of the praise of the people, the change in Songhe City was related to his own passing, and he didn't spend too much energy, and he didn't have to pay for it, he just did it.
Gao Yuanfeng took the big hair handed over by the white-haired villager, dipped it in thick ink, and wrote the words 'Holy Grace Temple' in a dance. He said to the surprised villagers, "This is the grace of Your Majesty, and I pity the sufferings of the common people." Only then did he behead the Song family, pay taxes lightly, and benefit all the people. I am a courtier of His Majesty, and I am on the orders of you. It is not me who you want to thank, but Your Majesty.
Ladies and gentlemen, Yuanfeng has taken his leave. Let us wish the Songhe River a smooth wind and rain, and eternal peace. β
The words Gao Yuanfeng wrote and said made Huang Furen breathe a sigh of relief. If Gao Yuanfeng really wrote down the three words of the Immortal Temple, it would be a big sin when Gao Yuanfeng fell out of favor in the future. At the moment, Gao Yuanfeng is not necessarily favored, the commander of the Zhennan Army and the Duke of Lu Yi are just expedient measures of the dynasty.
However, after this incident, it is not necessary for the emperor to sing praises for His Majesty, and the emperor may not look at it differently.
The fleet of the Ichthyosaurus Gang set off in a mighty way, stretching for several miles. The boat was not hung with the dragon flag of the Fish and Dragon Gang, but the flag of the tiger roaring in the sky, which surprised the officials and people along the way. How could the Ichthyosaurus, who have always been arrogant and domineering, be so easy to talk and pay homage to Gao Yuanfeng, the upstart of the dynasty? Huang Furen and his superhuman and criminal department officials returned to Beijing with the fleet. Gao Yuanfeng asked the Fish and Dragon Gang to prepare a separate building boat for them.
Not on the same ship, not worried about Huang Furen and other courtiers eavesdropping, Huang Fuying couldn't help but call Gao Yuanfeng into the cabin, "I didn't want to interfere with your actions, but I really don't feel at ease." Tell me honestly, how you talked to Jiang Yifan. The seventh-order forces are all masters who eat people without blinking, you don't want to be sold by them and help them count the money. β
Gao Yuanfeng smiled: "Grandma, I'm not a three-year-old child. Tell me first, do you think it's possible for the Ichthyosaurus Gang to turn into an official government and fight for the world?"
Huangfu Ying groaned, "Maybe."
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Not very sexual. β
"That's right. Gao Yuanfeng said: "I think so too." Gao Yuanfeng has this judgment, not because he has foresight, nor because his experience can be compared with Huangfu Ying, but because the Changfeng Pavilion of the Ancient Eighteenth has basically taken shape, and it has been able to provide him with some well-informed information about the whole Yan Domain.
As a seventh-order force under the Nine Star Sect, the Fish Dragon Gang is naturally one of the key targets of Changfeng Pavilion. According to the intelligence of Changfeng Pavilion, Gao Yuanfeng had a certain understanding of the composition of the Ichthyosaurus Gang, and then analyzed some of their behaviors, and basically determined that the Ichthyosaurus Gang did not have the ambition to compete in the world.
So why did the Ichthyosaurus Gang take the lead in setting a trap for themselves here to attack the Lifeng Dynasty? Gao Yuanfeng came to the conclusion that there were no more than two points: first, he was worried that after Lifeng grew stronger, its national policy would not be conducive to the Ichthyosaurus Gang; second, it might be that Lifeng's hostile forces entrusted the Ichthyosaurus Gang to take action. These two points can be combined into one, that is, the entrusting party promises to implement policies that are beneficial to the Fish and Dragon Gang in the future.
Changfeng Pavilion couldn't tell Huang Fu Ying that it involved the Demon Gate, and he was worried that Huang Fu Ying would be scared out of his illness, so the above analysis became Gao Yuanfeng's 'foresight', "In this case, I have seriously discussed their request with Jiang Yifan. The analysis of the forces entrusted to them may not be using them, and they may not be able to tear down bridges in the future. And that force may not necessarily win, so the Ichthyosaurus Gang's offense to Lifeng's death is really worth the loss.
I promised that if the Ichthyosaurus Gang was willing to cooperate with me, I would try my best to influence the Lifeng government and favor the Ichthyosaurus Gang. Even if I can't change the government, in the area under my own control, I will definitely cooperate with the Fish and Dragon Gang. β
Huangfu Ying was taken aback, she faintly heard the implied meaning of Gao Yuanfeng's words, "Aren't you going to be a loyal minister of Lifeng?
Gao Yuanfeng smiled, "Grandma, don't be nervous, things haven't come to that far." Whether it's a loyal minister or an emperor, I don't know what I want, and my philosophy is to have the ability to protect the peace and dignity of myself and my relatives in these troubled times.
If you are not a loyal minister of Lifeng, it depends on whether Lifeng treats me and my relatives well. One thing is clear, I have never been anyone's retainer, I will not be killed, that is not in line with my philosophy.
When I left Changshan, I said to Shi Mingyang, 'The king regards his ministers as his siblings, and the ministers as his heart, and the ministers as grass mustard, and the ministers as enemies. 'Compare your heart to your heart, if Emperor Lifeng is worthy of me, I am naturally a loyal minister. If she is just using and even calculating against me, using me as a flag, as a lackey, and as cannon fodder, then where does her loyalty come from?"
Huangfu was stunned, and said in his heart, your mentality is already a big rebel, and no emperor can tolerate it. can think of what happened to him, and feel that Gao Yuanfeng is not wrong in what he thinks.
With a long sigh, "Grandma is old and can't keep up with the changes of the times." Maybe you're right. But you must be cautious, don't mention your thoughts to others casually. β
Gao Yuanfeng seriously agreed.
"Go ahead. This journey is a bit long, you should cultivate, you should read books, remember to take a little time to come to me every day to deduce the formation. In the future, grandma can't help you. Huang Fuying's mood was a little heavy, and he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse for Gao Yuanfeng to enter Beijing.
