Chapter 21 Salute before Soldiers
The target has been determined, everyone ambushed in the hall of the cottage, Gao Yingxiang arranged for Zhao Deliang to invite those people over, and rushed out to kill them after waiting for the order.
After a while, more than 10 people followed Zhao Deliang into the hall, and Gao Yingxiang, who was sitting on the seat, got up and stepped forward to greet him.
"Brother Hui Ze is here."
Gao Yingxiang stepped forward with a smile on his face and gave the leader a hug, and then hugged the man and walked towards the seat, like a friend who had not seen him for many years.
Zhao Huize is a man in his 30s, because he couldn't stand the extortion of the government, so he led the whole village to flee. After meeting Gao Yingxiang's person on the way, under the bewitchment of Gao Yingxiang's words, he joined Gao Yingxiang's team and went to Niutou Mountain together.
Because Zhao Huize's village has a large population, there are relatively many young and middle-aged people. Originally, the young people in the village wanted Zhao Huize to be the big boss, but Zhao Huize was not interested in the position of the big boss at all, and he still wanted to be able to return to the village.
This time, when he heard that the imperial court had issued a tax exemption, he planned to lead his fellow villagers back to the village. originally planned to talk to Gao Yunxiang briefly, and then take people away, but Gao Yunxiang specially sent Zhao Deliang to come, saying that he wanted to see off himself and others, and he was very grateful.
For Zhao Deliang, a scholar, Zhao Huize still has some respect in his heart, after all, in ancient times, scholars were high-ranking people who could be officials. Especially in the cottage, he is the No. 2 person in Gao Yingxiang's small group, and sometimes even Gao Yingxiang has to obey Zhao Deliang's arrangement.
Although some disgusted Gao Yingxiang connived at his subordinates to rob the people's daughters in the cottage, but because he didn't rob the people in his own village in the end, Zhao Zehui also thought about it, and he personally swept the snow in front of the door and took care of the frost on the tiles of others. What's more, those women are already alone, and they may starve to death at any time. Although he was robbed by force, at least he had a bite to eat so that he would not be starved alive.
If Zhao Ze would know that Gao Yingxiang and the others had even killed the officials and would not be able to go back at all, then he would not have thought so in his heart, so it is so terrible to say that the information is not equal.
"The big boss is polite, thanks to the big boss who has been taking care of our brothers these days, but now the brothers are homesick and ......."
Until this time, Zhao Zehui still felt guilty in his heart, thinking that Gao Yingxiang had helped him when he and others were in the most difficult time, but now he wanted to abandon him, which was really immoral.
"Brother Huize is polite, if there is a big drought today, the court has no way to cause disaster victims everywhere, they are already hard-working people, so they naturally want to help each other, not to mention that we are people from the same county."
Gao Yingxiang hugged Zhao Huize and walked to the seat in the middle, pressed him on the seat and sighed, and the rest of the people also sat on the seats on both sides.
If Zhao Huize is careful, he will find that the people he brought are basically surrounded by Gao Yingxiang's people.
At this time, Zhao Deliang, who was the No. 2 person under Gao Yingxiang, stood up.
"Brothers, please listen to me."
The hall that was originally a little noisy quieted down, looking at Zhao Deliang standing in the middle, I don't know what Zhao Deliang wants to say.
A week after Zhao Deliang circled the city hall, he saw that everyone was quiet, and he was also a little excited in his heart.
"You brothers are gathered here for the sake of the common people in the world. Now above the court, officials do nothing but know how to be greedy for power and seize power, and collect the people's fat and people's ointment. The great eunuch Wei Zhongxian even excluded dissidents and killed Zhongliang. The emperor is incompetent, he only knows how to do some carpentry work in the harem every day, and even has affairs with the concubines of the first emperor of the harem, which is not tolerable ...... heaven."
Anyway, Zhao Deliang spoke here for more than 10 minutes, and all the words were scolding the court for being incompetent and the emperor being mediocre.
Gao Yingxiang and his group listened to it with satisfaction, and they couldn't wait to say a few words on the field. But for Zhao Huize and the others, they were dumbfounded, and they couldn't believe that the scholar they respected scolded the court so much. Even hinted many times in his words that he would rebel and enter the capital.
For this group of people who are bent on returning to their hometowns, they have never thought of such a big event as rebellion.
If Zhu Youxiao is here, he will definitely cry out for wrongdoing. I agree with all the crimes you said, but I have never done anything about fornication with the concubine of the former emperor. Especially when he was still guarding the queen Zhang Yan, who was known as the queen of Cleopatra.
Cleopatra here is not a derogatory term, but a positive term.
There are many queens in Chinese history, but there are only five in total who can be called "Yan", namely Xia Ji in the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhen Shi, the concubine of Emperor Wen of Wei, Li Zu'e, the concubine of Emperor Wenxuan of Northern Qi, Xiao Shi, the concubine of Emperor Yang of Sui, and Zhang Yan, the concubine of Emperor Tianqi of the Ming Dynasty.
Among them, except for Empress Zhang of the Ming Dynasty, there are many peachy news without exception, or forced to be helpless or amorous by nature, leaving a period of red face in history! The only exception, why can Queen Zhang be called "gorgeous"? That's definitely a high evaluation of beauty!
Zhang Yan entered the palace as the first beauty in the first year of the Apocalypse through layers of selection, and was canonized as the queen in April of that year!
When the history books recorded Zhang Yan's appearance, he described that "she is beautiful and plump, her face is like Guanyin, her eyes are like autumn waves, her mouth is like a cherry blossom, her nose is like a hanging gall, and her teeth are fine". Perhaps the demure and elegant, motherly temperament of the ancients is well reflected in Zhang Yan, so Zhang Yan's beauty is respected by many people.
In addition to impressing the world with her beauty, Zhang Yan is also deeply loved by later generations, especially the Han people in the early Qing Dynasty, because of her loyalty, righteousness, and jealousy! Zhang Yan, who became the empress, hated Wei Zhongxian very much, and repeatedly beat him and Emperor Tianqi's nurse Keshi, and she promoted the succession of Zhu Youzhen, the younger brother of Tianqi, to prevent Wei Zhongxian from further controlling the government! After Li Zicheng invaded Beijing, Empress Zhang resolutely hanged herself to death, which can be described as a chastity!
After Zhao Deliang finished speaking, Gao Yingxiang looked at Zhao Huize with a smile on his face.
"Brother Hui Ze, Mr. Zhao's words must have been understood by Brother Hui Ze, brother here swears that if Brother Hui Ze is willing to revolt with me, if he wins the world in the future, he will definitely share the world equally with his brother."
Zhao Huize listened to Gao Yingxiang's words, and there was a throbbing in his heart, but he thought about the fact that there were still thousands of fellow villagers behind him who depended on him for their lives, if he really wanted to rebel, these people didn't know how many people would survive in the end. Although the benefits of sharing the world equally are very exciting, but in the end I shook my head.
"The big boss, although I really want to go down with the big boss, but there are thousands of fellow villagers behind me, and I really can't ......."
"I hope you can understand."
"Since Hui Ze doesn't have such great ambitions, alas, it's just that he blames his brother for being too amorous." Gao Yingxiang looked at Zhao Huize with a disappointed expression and sighed softly.
But soon Gao Yingxiang swept away his disappointment, and instead picked up a glass of water from the small table next to his seat.
"Brother Huize, brother replaces wine with tea, I wish my brother a glorious return to his hometown and a safe journey."
"Thank you, big boss".
Zhao Huize was already guilty, but now when he saw that Gao Yingxiang didn't care about his refusal, his face was also full of excitement, and he reached out to pick up the teacup in Gao Yingxiang's hand.
It's just that the teacup didn't catch it, and it fell to the ground with a snap. When Zhao Huize was surprised, he saw a bright knife directly inserted into his chest.
Zhao Huize suddenly felt a pain coming from his heart, and pointed at Gao Yingxiang.
"You ......".
Before he finished his sentence, he put down his hand weakly.
The sudden occurrence of the incident made the people brought by Zhao Huize not react at all. And Gao Yingxiang's people were already secretly preparing to do it after hearing that Zhao Huize clearly rejected Gao Yingxiang's proposal, and by the time they reacted, they had already been captured by Gao Yingxiang's subordinates who were around them before.
"Gao Yingxiang, you bastard, my brother ......."
Zhao Huimin and Zhao Huize saw that their eldest brother was killed by Gao Yingxiang, and he was also captured, so he couldn't help but scold, but before he finished speaking, he was cut off by Gao Yingxiang's subordinates.
