Chapter 431: Emperor Wenjia's Daily Life
On the second day of Li Chengqian's arrest, news came from Song County. Cai Wenying went against the grain and forced the people of Song County to join the anti-thieves, and the people who did not obey were skinned and cramped and boiled for oil and lit the lamp.
The news spread like the wind throughout Luoyang City and the surrounding prefectures and counties, and the people everywhere were very panicked when they heard about it, hoping that the imperial court would send troops to quell the rebellion as soon as possible.
The Eight Winds Hall of the East Palace also publicized everywhere, and the scholars from all over the country supported the rebellion of the demon girl Cai Wenying in order not to reduce the tenant rent, and the children of the scholars sent money and food to Cai Wenying. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is considering the matter, and he cannot easily send troops until all the spies in the clan are cleared.
For a while, the fear in the hearts of the people in Luoyang turned into anger against the scholars, who usually bullied people, but they were careful not to commit public anger. In addition, the common people have always admired people who are stronger than themselves and can pretend to be pretentious, so the scholars have a benefit, and they can spread ten points after propaganda from the mouths of the people.
Therefore, the people everywhere believe in and respect these scholars very much on weekdays.
Just like some businessmen and celebrities in later generations, through various publicity, the characters are very perfect, lecturing everywhere and doing charity pretending to be like saviors, but once the characters collapse, they often smash the original people's noses and faces are swollen.
Now the scholars around Luoyang have collapsed, and countless curses and attacks have come one after another, and the families who were brutalized by these scholars in the past have also won the sympathy of the people at this time, as long as they go to the official office to complain, there are a large number of neighbors and witnesses who are willing to come forward for them to gualate.
Officials from all over the country looked up at Li Chengqian's stern gaze above, and looked down at the angry faces of the people below, as long as they were not fools at this time, they knew what to do.
Li Chengqian's side is taking advantage of Cai Wenying's rebellion to clear out the Luozhou scholars, and he is very busy.
------------------------
And Cai Wenying, who has been the "emperor" for almost a month, is becoming more and more emperor-like.
Cai Wenying has lived in the manor where King Dao lived since she ascended the throne, and used this place as her palace, and the original main altar of the Sanming Immortal Sect was used by her as a place to worship the heavens.
On this day, Cai Wenying summoned all her ten heavenly kings to her palace to discuss matters.
After everyone arrived, Cai Wenying slowly came to the front hall with a stiff face around several relatives.
"See His Majesty the Emperor."
The Ten Heavenly Kings greeted Cai Wenying at the door, and Cai Wenying saw that her brother-in-law Ma Jiudaochang, Master Chen Pingping, and her mother Lu Maolian, who had always been at odds with her, bowed down to her, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
didn't care about letting everyone be flat, hurriedly raised his hand to cover his face, and hurriedly walked in with his head down.
The people who bowed couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and got up and walked in.
After they walked in and hurriedly saluted, Li Dinghui, one of the Ten Heavenly Kings, took the lead in standing up and said: "Your Majesty, this place in Song County is too close to Luoyang, I still want us to leave Song County as soon as possible and go to Nanyang to establish the Sanming Immortal Dynasty." ”
When he came out to speak, Cai Wenying and the other nine heavenly kings all frowned.
Li Dinghui is over forty years old, and he turned out to be a monk of Shaolin Temple, and after learning all the work of Shaolin Temple, he went down the mountain and wandered around.
When Li Dinghui came to Song County, it happened that Huang Feibee was not by Cai Wenying's side, so he took advantage of the situation to enter, because he was very trusted by Cai Wenying, and Cai Wenying made him the king of the road after he became the emperor.
Li Dinghui has suggested to Cai Wenying several times recently to flee to Nanyang, but the other local kings do not agree, and Cai Wenying himself does not want to leave the nest of Song County, but he can't bear to refute Li Dinghui's face in public.
It's just that Cai Wenying can tolerate Li Dinghui but others don't want to, Ma Jiudao didn't wait for Cai Wenying to open his mouth and directly scolded Li Dinghui and said: "Li Tianwang, this time we are discussing the matter of requisitioning people to build the city wall, and don't mention the matter of moving the capital." ”
Li Dinghui was furious when he heard this, his fists clenched, and the big eyes like two cows stared fiercely at Ma Jiudaochang, as if he was going to smash his huge fist on Ma Jiudaochang's face in the next moment.
Ma Jiu and Li Dinghui were both recruited by Cai Wenying, and Chen Pingping and other old men of the Sanming Immortal Sect all looked at the two of them unpleasantly, and at this time, they all looked at them with a smile when they saw that the two were going to fight.
Cai Wenying saw the big urgency and said: "You two don't have to fight, I have already decided that I will continue to stay in Song County." ”
Li Dinghui said anxiously when he heard this: "Song County is too close to Luoyang, we can't fight the Li family now, it's better to go to Nanyang." ”
Cai Wenying smiled slightly when she heard this, and said very confidently: "Li Tianwang, don't you always grow the ambition of others, I think that the Dao King Li Yuanqing still wanted to use me as a chess piece, but now he has become a prisoner."
Why is that?
Because the destiny is on my side!
Now I have more than 100,000 people, tens of thousands of strong soldiers, and most importantly, you Ten Heavenly Kings, how can I be qualified to fight with him Li Clan.
Li Chengqian's children only had a few thousand soldiers around him, and he didn't dare to confront my Immortal Sect strong army until now in Yichuan County.
Li Shimin's old son was also dying of illness in Luoyang, and Li Chengqian's children couldn't transfer the army, so Li Tang's qi was obviously over.
What are we afraid of now?
When our strength is enough, we will directly march to Luoyang, and my palace will be built in Luoyang City.
When the time comes, you will all be the founding heroes, and the highest title given by Li Tang to the heroes is a duke.
I have now made you the king of heaven, and when you protect me and enter Luoyang, I will give you the treatment of the prince, and after the world is pacified, I will let you guard one side and be a real king.
What we have to do now is march into Luoyang. ”
Cai Wenying boasted, making the eight Heavenly Kings from the Sanming Immortal Sect in the hall look pale one by one, as if they would soon be able to enter Luoyang City, be the founding heroes, and defend one side. It's going to be windy, it's going to rain, it's going to rain.
"Your Majesty the Emperor!" The white-haired Chen Ping took the lead in getting up and saluting.
Several others also shouted, "Your Majesty the Emperor, Shengming! ”
The crowd shouted slogans.
Ma Jiudao got up again and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, does the city wall of Song County still need to be repaired?"
Cai Wenying immediately said: "Repair, must repair, this is our Longxing land, and it must be built in a grand way to meet my identity." ”
Chen Pingping and the others also nodded triumphantly and said, "Exactly, exactly." ”
Cai Wenying was even more proud when she saw that everyone echoed her, and said directly: "Spread my holy decree, send people out to recruit people to build the city wall, and we must build the city wall of Song County." ”
"Your Majesty the Emperor, in addition to using people to repair the city wall, you also need a lot of earth and stones, and the matter of digging soil and stones will be handed over to the old ministers!" Chen Pingping waited for Cai Wenying to finish speaking, and hurriedly took over the conversation and snatched away the excavation of soil and rocks.
"The minister is responsible for building the tools used to repair the city wall." Su Zhenjiao, another Heavenly King of the Sanming Immortal Sect, also snatched the same thing.
"The minister is willing to supervise the construction of the southern city!"
"The minister wants to supervise the construction of the North City!"
……
……
After a while, the eight Heavenly Kings of the Three Ming Immortal Sect snatched away all the errands they could think of to repair the city wall.
"Good, good! All right, go and build a wall for me! Cai Wenying hurriedly agreed to them.
"Ahem!"
Li Dinghui, who had not spoken, coughed twice with an ugly face.
When Cai Wenying saw it, he hurriedly looked at Ma Jiudao and asked, "Ma Tianwang doesn't know about this city wall, but what else is there to do?"
"Isn't it all left to me to wait, what else does the emperor ask?" Chen Ping's wife, Lu Maolian, heard the words and said in a weird way.
As soon as Cai Wenying heard Lu Maolian's words, she was furious, and said angrily: "I asked Ma Tianwang, it is better for Lu to speak less if he doesn't understand the engineering matters." ”
Lu Maolian turned out to be a famous witch in Song County, the most able to see people and talk about people, and bewitched a large number of dead-hearted followers, and was a powerful faction in the Sanming Immortal Sect.
Cai Wenying became a female emperor, and Lu Maolian became a female king.
Lu Maolian felt that Cai Wenying was a vixen since Cai Wenying worshiped under Chen Pingmen, and the two have never dealt with each other, and now seeing Cai Wenying as the emperor is even more envious, jealous and hateful.
"Ahem!"
Seeing that the two of them were about to cough twice, Chen Ping turned his head to look at Ma Jiudao, so he gestured and said: "Ma Tianwang doesn't know what else to do, if there is, I will divide one piece for Li Tianwang to do." ”
Seeing them making a pot of porridge, Ma Jiudao smiled in his heart, and said with a straight face, "There is indeed one more thing, that is, the matter of levying rations, I don't know if Li Tianwang is willing to bear it?"
Are you willing to work hard?
Is this fat poor good?
……
……
As soon as Ma Jiudao finished speaking, Chen Pingping and his group all scolded in their hearts.
Li Dinghui was about to say a word or two of resignation with a gesture, when he heard Lu Maolian say: "If King Li is tired, this King will change with you, and you will supervise the repair of the city gate." ”
Hearing this, Li Dinghui hurriedly said: "No! This Heavenly King will serve His Majesty the Emperor. ”
Seeing that things were arranged, Cai Wenying and Ma Jiudao breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
"Since Your Majesty has decreed the construction of the city wall, the minister will go to the decree to recruit the people!" Ma Jiudao got up and retired.
When the other heavenly kings saw that there was nothing to do, they also got up and retreated.
------------------------
In the evening, Li Dinghui came to serve Cai Wenying.
Cai Wenying was dressed in a white gauze robe, and her plump body loomed under the red candles, her face was spring-colored, and she looked at Li Dinghui who walked in with silky eyes.
But seeing Li Dinghui walking into the bedroom with a gloomy face and not taking off his clothes, he thought that Li Dinghui was still angry about moving the capital to Nanyang, so he couldn't help but panic, and hurriedly sat up and whispered: "Li Tianwang, sit next to me." ”
Li Dinghui sat down reluctantly, Cai Wenying gently pressed Li Dinghui's shoulders with both hands, and whispered softly: "But you are angry about not being able to move to Nanyang?"
Li Dinghui was silent.
Cai Wenying gently shook Li Dinghui's shoulder, and begged softly: "Li Tianwang, don't be angry, your anger hurts your body......"
Li Dinghui couldn't be pestered by her, and sighed and said, "I'm not angry about moving to Nanyang.
It's just my Imperial Majesty, do you know how much money Chen Pingping's gang can embezzle when building the city wall?"
Thinking of the money that Chen Ping and they might be greedy for, Li Dinghui felt distressed.
Cai Wenying chuckled when she heard this, and said with a look of seeing through everything: "What kind of big deal is this?"
Who is not an official for the sake of greed for money?
I don't let them be greedy for money, they will recognize me as an emperor?
Who is willing to do things for me without a little benefit?
Isn't it just that you are put in charge of the food collection so that you have the opportunity to be greedy for money?"
Saying that, Cai Wenying lay down lightly again, and only rubbed Li Dinghui's arm with her feet.
