Gongsun Jian nodded with satisfaction, looked up at Qian Yan, who was sitting the farthest away from him, and laughed: "I said uncle, why are you sitting so far away, is it because you are afraid that I will eat you?" And Ma Teng, Lao Ding, how many of you are blind? There was actually a person of five and six sitting in front of the prince. Move me to the back. ”

When Ma Teng and the others heard this, they all stood up with a smile and bowed to Qian Yan to apologize, but they didn't care whether Qian Yan agreed or not, and gave up the position closest to Gongsun Jian.

After Qian Yan was embarrassed, Gongsun Jian personally poured him a cup of tea, and then said slowly: "Uncle, don't have any ideas in your heart, we have made it clear before, I will give preferential treatment to the royal family of Zhou State, and your prince will also be temporarily retained, including the army under your command can also be temporarily not reorganized." So don't have so much burden in your heart, so that my Gongsun Jian is the kind of person who eats dry and wipes clean and doesn't admit it. As he spoke, Gongsun Jian glanced at Qian Yan, who bowed his head and was silent, and then changed his tone and continued: "However, my subordinate army has been fighting fiercely for more than half a year, and if it continues to fight, I am afraid that it will suffer losses in terms of morale and combat effectiveness." Therefore, now those rebellions in the Zhou Kingdom, I want you to be responsible for suppressing and quelling them, brother-in-law. I don't know if you want to? ”

"This ......" Qian Yan didn't expect Gongsun Jian to make such a request to himself. I didn't know how to answer for a while. When he hesitated in his heart, he heard Gongsun Jian speak again: "Actually, I know that it is really difficult to let you go to the other party's original country, but have you ever thought that my Gongsun Jian was also from the Zhou State at the beginning, and there is a Yue character in my name." Maybe I am a traitor in your heart now and in the eyes of many nobles of the Zhou Kingdom, but you don't understand it at all. My heart doesn't care what the nobles and families think of me. I have in mind the poor and suffering people. Only they can represent the Zhou State and represent the world. Uncle, if you feel embarrassed, I won't force it. ”

"Well, I promise you." After hesitating for a long time, and listening to Gongsun Jian's remarks, Qian Yan finally made up his mind to agree to Gongsun Jian's request.

"I'm not going to help you guys, though. I am only responsible for the commander's army to quell the rebellion. Qian Yan added.

Gongsun Jian nodded with a smile and said, "It's okay, someone will naturally do the work of killing." ”

"Your Majesty, I'll do this." Without waiting for Gongsun Jian's words to land, Wei Meng on the side volunteered to stand up.

Gongsun Jian smiled a little helplessly, and said in his heart This is really a fool, I obviously just comforted Qian Yan, do you think he really won't kill people when it comes to the end? If he doesn't kill people, how can he quell the chaos. It can be seen that Wei Meng stood up at this time, and Gongsun Jian could only agree to the other party.

Wei Meng followed Gongsun Jian all the way to the south and later went north, but he didn't participate in the real battle a few times, and he was already panicking. If you don't find a chance to fight, I'm afraid you will have to follow Gongsun Jian's class back to the court.

After saying these two things, Gongsun Jian chatted with a few people for a while before dispersing, and when he parted, he told everyone to maintain the law and order in the capital, and to manage the soldiers under his hands, especially to pay attention to military discipline. In addition, Gongsun Jian muttered a few words to Ma Teng alone, and Ma Teng blushed after hearing it, and knelt down to kowtow to Gongsun Jian three times, which made everyone a little surprised. It wasn't until the next day that everyone knew that in the evening of the same day, Ma Teng took his brothers into Shangjing City and killed a family of more than 300 ministers of the Zhou State. Not even a single pig, dog, cow, sheep and other livestock in the family is alive.

But when a minister impeached Ma Teng, Gongsun Jian said that he agreed. As for the true reason, only a few people know. Many years later, at a banquet, Ma Teng drank too much and cried loudly before he told the reason. I think he was also a good ranger when he was young, and he lived in Shangjing. I met a girl by chance, but before he could go to propose, the girl was kidnapped into a wealthy family. Ma Teng inquired around, only to learn that the family was a minister in the court. But the young Ma Teng rushed into the other party's house with a few younger brothers regardless of it, and rescued the girl who was already dying.

Not long after she came out, the girl died, leaving Ma Teng with only infinite hatred. But this is not over, when Ma Teng came home that night, he found that all his family members had been arrested by the government, and several younger brothers who followed him to save people were also killed. Under grief and anger, Ma Teng was ready to fight with others, but he was quietly taken out of the capital by a friend. And told him that even if he went, he would only die one more person, and the only thing left was to stay alive, and wait for him to come back one day to take revenge.

After listening to the advice of his friends, Ma Teng embarked on the road of hiding and wandering with hatred, and finally joined the northern army under Xu Hu, and met Gongsun Jian many years later. Gongsun Jian, who is also from Shangjing, learned about Ma Teng's secret by chance, and promised him that one day he would help him avenge his hatred and punish the other party. This is also the reason why Ma Teng swore to follow Gongsun Jian to the death. Finally, after breaking through and taking the capital city, Gongsun Jian helped Ma Teng complete his revenge.

Let's put aside this section of the public case, and in the next few days, Gongsun Jian lived in a farm outside the city and met different guests every day. Most of these people are former ministers of the Zhou State or some nobles who have a close relationship with the government, and even some are disciples of the old man's father.

Of course, Gongsun Jian didn't have much time to meet so many people. Except for some of the more important people, most of the others were handed over to Shi Fangheng to be responsible for the reception. If Shi Fangheng felt that this person was talented, Gongsun Jian might arrange a moment of reception later. After all, the current Gongsun Jian is not the original, and now he is the emperor who officially sits in the palace and is called a lonely widow, how can anyone who wants to see it be able to see it.

However, on this day, Gongsun Jian personally went out to greet a distinguished guest. This person is none other than Gongsun Jian, the concubine of the former Emperor of Zhou. Whether in terms of seniority or personal feelings, Gongsun Jian must come to greet him in person, who rescued him from the palace when he was persecuted by King Wei after he succeeded to the throne, and his concubine Qian Mingyue, the princess of Ningguo, was also raised by her since childhood.

Gong Miao was followed by a young man about twenty years old, and he didn't need to ask Gongsun Jian to know that the other party must be his cousin, Qian Wei, the sixth prince. Without waiting for Gongsun Jian to speak, Qian Wei took the initiative to step forward and salute and said Long live Gongsun Jian. It made Gongsun Jian feel a little funny. stepped forward and grabbed the other party's hand, patted the other party's shoulder with a smile and said, "Cousin, without your help, it wouldn't be so easy for me to enter the capital, brother." Come, everyone is their own family, so you don't have to be so angry. My aunt and cousin, speaking of which, this is the Zhuangzi of the public family, what is the difference between going back to my own home. ”

Gong Miao on the side stretched out his hand and pulled his son, and said: "Do you see it, this is the gap, and it is not a truth that can be learned by studying hard." In the past, your cousin Yue was also a dead nerd. But then I went to the border pass, and after surviving the battle of nine deaths, I was flexible. Not only is the poetry and literary talent more powerful than before, but also leading troops to fight wars and govern places is not bad. Now it is even more enthroned and sitting in the palace. So in the future, you need to walk around more with your cousin and learn more. ”

"Yes, mother, my son-in-law understands." Qian Wei respectfully saluted Gongmiao, and then saluted Gongsun Jian again, but this time it was a peer salute. After saluting, he hid behind his mother's back and quietly naughtily gave Gongsun Jian a look. Only then did Gongsun Jian understand that his cousin had pretended to show his mother before.

Hehe, this is really a smart and naughty guy. But in the end, it helped me a lot and saved a lot of thought. Recently, I came with my aunt, I guess it may be for the future arrangement.

Entering the house, Gongsun Jian and Gongmiao's mother and son sat together, and this time everyone was not so restrained. After a servant brought tea and fruit snacks, Gongsun Jian looked at his aunt with a smile and asked, "I wonder if my aunt came with her cousin today just to visit me, or is there something wrong?" ”

Gong Miao didn't say anything, picked up the tea cup and tasted it lightly. Qian Wei, who was sitting next to her, replied for her: "Cousin, my mother and I came here today mainly to ask how you will deal with us royal family members of the Zhou Kingdom. ”

"Hahaha......" Hearing Qian Wei's question, Gongsun Jian Angtian laughed, and then replied slowly: "Cousin, haven't you seen how I dealt with the royal family of the Southern Han Kingdom?" Also, you are different from those people, after all, we are relatives. If you look at your own eldest brother, you may understand, and your imperial uncle Qian Tuan, although he is also my father-in-law, but he was also the royal family of the Zhou State, but now he is in charge of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under me. ”

"But......" Qian Wei's face turned a little red, but he was embarrassed to say the words when he said them. And Gongsun Jian immediately understood the meaning with his expression. smiled and said, "Cousin and aunt, don't worry." As I said, you're different, so I can keep you. As for the others, they were treated the same as the Southern Han royal family, and they did it themselves to support themselves. Those who can't feed deserve to starve. ”

"If that's the case, then Your Majesty might as well kill them with one sword. Headquarters is so insulted and secretly born stronger. Gong Miao, who hadn't spoken for a long time, finally couldn't help but speak, and his tone was clearly very displeased.

Gongsun Jian didn't answer, but still looked at his aunt with a smile on his face. And Gong Miao put down the tea cup in his hand and continued: "Although I am your aunt, I am also the daughter-in-law of the Qian family. Although the Zhou Kingdom is gone, after all, these people are all from the royal family, even if they can't give them brocade clothes and food, they can't ignore it. If your own house is gone, and even your property will be confiscated, then how will you tell them to live in the future? If that's the case, you might as well just kill them. ”

"Hehe, if I kill them, they will thank me instead?" Gongsun Jian teased, but there was also something unkind in his tone.

"Auntie, there is no one in the world who is superior to the other. What penny of their extravagant life was not exploited by the people, and did they earn it themselves? I don't want to pursue their past things, but I just let them try to earn a living like ordinary people from now on, am I still wrong? Besides, considering that they may not be able to adapt for a while, no one can leave them enough for a year's living expenses. Moreover, the government will also provide them with cheap housing to live in. From now on, they are no longer nobles, and it is not impossible to be noble in front of people, so show your real skills to everyone, if they can do something, then they will still have a rich and happy life. ”
