Chapter 52 The people are the old man's parents
Xu Jingzong was furious, his face was slightly red, "Even Your Majesty is helpless against those mills, you let the old man speak...... But if the old man can't, those people will say that the old man deceived His Majesty, which is a big crime, and you can only go to Lingnan if you see the old man in the future. β
"Lingnan is good, you can eat lychees." Jia Ping'an thought of Li Longji's favorite wife's daily life in the future, one of which was to transport fresh lychees from the southern fast horse to his concubine.
The air transport of later generations is far worse than this.
Xu Jingzong glared at him, and really wanted to chop this pit with a knife, "Even if it is done, those powerful people will kill the old man!" β
Success or failure is death!
Lao Xu wanted to hide his face and cry, but this was Chang'an City, he couldn't cry, otherwise his reputation would fall.
Lao Xu has improved.
Jia Ping'an was very pleased, "Gong Xu, there is already a plan for this matter......
β¦β¦
Later, Xu Jingzong went to see His Majesty, and Jia Ping'an returned to Baiqi and asked Shao Peng to meet.
"Xiao Jia!" After winning glory for the hundred horses from a red bean, Jia Ping'an's status in the hundred horses has been significantly improved, no, even the title has changed.
"Zhongguan Shao."
Jia Ping'an smiled and said, "There is something here, I want to ask Zhongguan Shao for help......
β¦β¦
After hearing this, Shao Peng's expression changed suddenly, and he said coldly: "This matter is too risky. β
Dog eunuch, what is the one thing you promised?
Jia Ping'an was still smiling, "Shao Zhongguan ......"
"Can't!" Principle is Shao Peng's life.
Is this to give face don't?
After Lao Xu returned to Chang'an, Jia Ping'an also had a backer, and he said seriously: "That day in Wuxianglou, you said that you would do something for a certain ......."
He looked at Shao Peng.
Lao Xu is back! That old thing is His Majesty's henchman, if he slanders us in front of His Majesty...... Shao Peng lowered his head and hid a little guilty, "Let's make a promise......
Scold! Lao Xu is a promise, you are a fool!
Jia Ping'an squeezed out a smile, "Thank you, Lieutenant Shao." β
Shao Peng had a cold face, and his index finger lightly buckled the case, "If we fail, we will also be unlucky." β
"It won't fail." Jia Ping'an is full of confidence.
β¦β¦
ββYongzhou, Jingzhao County in the former Sui Dynasty, Datang was changed to Yongzhou, and Chang'an counties were under its jurisdiction. Later, Li Longji's loser boy was renamed Jingzhao Mansion.
He's coming!
Xu Jingzong entered the state capital, followed by several hundred horsemen, this is the person Li Zhi was worried that he would be killed, so he specially sent to protect him, among which of course Lao Xu's old partner Master Jia was indispensable.
He has a firm step (but his legs are a little weak) and a resolute look (but he is careful that his liver hasn't stopped shaking since he got up this morning). οΌ
"Call someone." Lao Xu's voice was calm.
In a few years, all the officials in Yongzhou who had some face appeared.
The adventure begins...... Xu Jingzong's eyelids jumped, and he said firmly: "Crushing is harmful to the people, and there is even more worry about flooding, now that the old man is in charge of Yongzhou, he will definitely eliminate this great harm for the people!" β
The officials already knew the bold words of the new assassin, and they all thought that he would slowly try to figure it out.
But on the first day of taking office, Lao Xu opened fire.
Jia Ping'an looked at Lao Xu from the side and felt that he had a kind of tragedy of 'killing me'.
"The old man has mobilized more than 1,000 soldiers, and the manpower of the state capital has been exhausted to dismantle all the mills around Chang'an."
it!
The officials' eyes widened, thinking that Lao Xu Mo was not crazy? So many powerful people! Can you afford to be offended?
"All demolished?"
Big brother, just dismantle some errands to deal with, you dismantle them all, is this to be the enemy of those powerful people?
This is everyone's voice, I hope Lao Xu can listen to one or two.
Xu Jingzong looked at this person and said coldly: "The old man needs you to teach him to do things?" β
Belch!
This face is crisp.
"Whoever dares not to do his best, who dares to report the news, who dares to disobey the yang and the yin, the old man will chop him!"
Choke!
Lao Xu came with a saber today.
The long knife was unsheathed, and Xu Jingzong roared angrily: "Let's go!" β
When a group of people left the state capital, they saw more than a thousand soldiers standing outside.
Jia Ping'an said in a low voice: "Gong Xu, it's time to make some high-profile words." β
If you can do things, you have to be able to publicize, otherwise it won't be in vain.
Xu Jingzong knew it in his heart, and stepped forward and said: "Today, the old man took you and others to dismantle the mill, if there are all kinds of sins, they will all belong to the old man, and they have nothing to do with you." β
Among those powerful people who set up private mills, there are also many bigwigs in the military, so the soldiers are a little weak-minded, and they will take care of it all at once, which makes people secretly admire.
Good man!
More than ten people passing by eating melons were also amazed, "This is Xu Jingzong?" β
"They said it was a traitor, but you see, for the sake of the people, he dared to dismantle those mills."
"Tsk! I'm afraid I'm going to be killed. β
"Let's go!"
More than 1,000 soldiers set off under the leadership of Yongzhou officials.
In the palace, Li Zhi was waiting.
The eldest grandson Wuji and others were also waiting.
"Your Majesty, Xu Yuanjun has set off with his men and horses."
Lao Xu's move can be called a self-detonation, and his courage is slightly amazing, no, no one compares.
Xu Qing is a good person! Li Zhi was a little sentimental, and said for a long time: "Xu Qing...... True blue! β
β¦β¦
In the duty room, the eldest grandson Wuji smiled bitterly: "Xu Jingzong is crazy, such a madman, it's just that." The old man doesn't care about this matter. β
Chu Suiliang also sighed: "The old man never thought that Xu Jingzong would have such a responsibility!" β
Who doesn't know that grinding is harmful to the people, and by the way, it is also harming Chang'an City, but who dares to dismantle those grinding stones?
Everyone pretended to be crazy and stupid, but in the end, it was Xu Jingzong, who they called a traitor, who stood up.
When the officials of the DPRK and China heard the news, they were silent.
Xu Jingzong, for the first time, made them seriously think about what is the way to be an official.
The palace also got the news, and it was reported that the Wang family was surprised, and the Xiao family said that Xu Jingzong was an important minister......
Wei Wushuang, who was hiding in the house, raised his head, tons and tons......
β¦β¦
Zheng Guoqu, the famous pit plan during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, finally completed the project of the hegemony of the Qin State, and is still playing a role for the Tang Dynasty at the moment.
Stream...... It's slow.
And it's shallow.
One foot on the shore, followed by countless pairs of heels.
There was a dam in front of it, and there was a mill in operation.
The canal was intercepted on it.
"Check it out!" Xu Jingzong led people to the field on the left.
"Envoy!"
Those people had already learned the news that Lao Xu was going to blow himself up, and they all gathered together at this moment.
An old farmer took Xu Jingzong to see the crops.
"Envoy, look at the wheat I'm waiting for...... It's out of water! β
Xu Jingzong squatted down and looked at it seriously.
Jia Ping'an's words echoed in his mind: be sincere, and treat the people as their own children.
He said at the time that he couldn't do it, if he treated the people as his own children, he was worried that he would be too deep in the drama and would beat people.
Master Jia looked constipated at the time, and then said: If you can't do it, then fantasize about treating the people as your parents.
Xiao Jia likes to pit old man! Xu Jingzong stretched out his hand and pinched a handful of wheat, gritted his teeth and scolded: "Those cheap dog slaves! β
He got up and asked, "Have you asked those people?" β
The old farmer nodded, "I asked, but those slaves are here, and if I go to release water, I will be beaten back." β
It is one thing for the people to be fierce, and it is another thing for the powerful to be fierce. No matter how many you are, the powerful will shout, and the officials will come to clean you up like wolves.
The people's hearts are like iron, and the official law is like a furnace, and Lao Xu is here to upgrade their hearts, rising to the level of stainless steel with a higher melting point.
Lao Xu had already entered the play, and scolded: "It's all brutes, you don't need to go, just wait for the old man to dismantle the mill, and then you can go and release the water!" β
This was the fear that the people would go to be retaliated against by the slaves.
What a good envoy!
The old farmer couldn't help but cry, knelt down and cried: "No one has ever made decisions for us, we think this is God's punishment, who knows that today there is a Xu envoy, I will wait...... Appreciate. β
The black pressed and knelt down.
These are the old man's parents! Xu Jingzong, who had been too deep in the play, turned pale, quickly knelt down and returned the salute, and then nodded and said, "The old man knows." β
He rushed over with someone.
"Where did it come from?"
A slave came out with a stick, and when he saw hundreds of people rushing over, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and shouted: "Someone! β
Several slaves rushed out with sticks, and they were dumbfounded when they saw the officials and soldiers.
Xu Jingzong said that he would dismantle the mill, but who would have thought that he would take over and do it.
These are the three fires of the new official!
Xu Jingzong hesitated for a moment.
Jia Ping'an's words came to mind: Xu Gong, if you want to do it, you have to be decisive, and you must not hesitate at all.
Xu Jingzong pulled out his long knife and shouted: "Who dares to stop the old man from dismantling the mill today, and he is not guilty of killing!" β
"Do it!" Jia Ping'an felt that Lao Xu was really handsome, so he shouted.
The crowd swarmed up, and the slaves immediately discarded their sticks, knelt there, and did not dare to move.
"Demolished! It's all demolished! Xu Jingzong brandished a long knife and shouted out of breath.
Along the Zhengguo Canal, the group demolished the mill when they saw it, and destroyed the embankment by the way, until there were no more fields on either side.
This operation lasted more than 10 days.
It was a sensation.
Wherever Lao Xu took people to go, the people everywhere spontaneously brought water and food to comfort them.
That's not the right rhythm, right?
When Jia Ping'an saw Lao Xu's righteous face, he knew that he was trembling in his heart at the moment.
But this is a food pot of rice slurry!
At this time, such scenes only occur when facing foreign enemies.
But are those powerful enemies?
Lao Xu, don't be shy.
Perhaps feeling Jia Ping'an's gaze, Lao Xu said lightly: "It's not easy for the people, let's bring dry food and drinking water, and don't take anything!" β
But don't take anything, what does that mean?
Don't take a stitch from the people?
Nima!
Jia Ping'an felt numb.
He didn't expect the people to be so enthusiastic.
The group completed their merits and turned around and went home.
The green water on the side of Zhengguo Canal is leisurely, and the group walked to the narrow part of the road, with flowing water on the left and mountains on the right. Xu Jingzong walked slowly first, with Jia Ping'an beside him, and several hundred horsemen behind him. Farther afield were the soldiers and officials.
"Have you arrived?" Lao Xu looked serious, but a pair of eyes were glancing around, nervous and confused.
"It's not there yet, don't worry, calm down! Calm! Jia Ping'an was comforting him, but his eyes were wandering on the mountain on the right.
When he saw a 'message tree' slowly falling, Jia Ping'an stepped back, exposing Xu Jingzong on the left, and then said in a low voice: "Xu Gong......"
Xu Jingzong turned sideways to Jia Ping'an, that is, to the mountain, and said with a smile: "Where would the old man worry about this, the old man is arrogant...... It's just Xiao Jia, you don't want to pit the old man again......"
Before the words fell, an arrow flew and hit Xu Jingzong's chest.
In an instant, Jia Ping'an knocked down Xu Jingzong.
"Someone stabbed him."
Jia Ping'an held the headless arrow, and several hundred horsemen blocked the view from behind, and quickly handed over an arrow to exchange with him.
Xu Jingzong was lying on the ground, and when he was pushed down by Jia Ping'an just now, he fell to the back and it hurt. He endured the pain and opened his eyes a little nervously.
Jia Ping'an lifted the complete arrow and stabbed it into his chest.
Burst!
A stream of blood slowly flowed out.
"The king has been hit by an arrow!"
Xu Jingzong trembled a few times, and then remained silent.
"Xu Gong!"
The cry of sorrow echoed between the mountains and rivers......
β¦β¦
Lao Xu lay down, his eyes opened a slit, "There is no recommendation ticket, the old man can't get up......"
