"None of the Zhao family has the heart, Zhao Yufeng, like his old man, is all ungrateful white-eyed wolves!

He wants to play, right, I'll send someone to burn down their newspaper now, I see who will dare to do things for them in the future! After reading the latest issue of True Knowledge News, Xie Yukun, the eldest son of An Guogong, was so angry that his blood surged, and he looked like he wanted to eat people.

Xie Yuheng, the second son of Duke An Guo, hurriedly stopped: "Big brother, don't go, as soon as you burn this fire, won't it confirm the rumor that the emperor has broken with our Xie family?" Isn't that just the time to weigh that kid's heart? ”

"Fart, that white-eyed wolf wants to stink the reputation of our Xie family, how can we do nothing."

"But you can't do it now. As soon as they published such a newspaper, and then the newspaper office was burned down, everyone in the capital knew that it was us, and this is not even more unfavorable to us? ”

"So what do you say? Is it just like this to let them continue to publish these newspapers against our Xie family? ”

"This matter needs to be considered in the long run, and it cannot be taken lightly."

At this time, An Guogong, who had been silent, suddenly said in a deep voice: "I agree with the boss's approach, but one thing is different, this is true knowledge and can't be burned, but the people inside must be cleared out for me, and then replaced by our people."

In the future, whether it is the True Knowledge Newspaper or other newspapers, all of them will be supervised by our Xie family.

Whatever I want them to report, they have to report it, and those who violate it will be killed. ”

When Xie Yukun heard this, he was immediately encouraged, and immediately took the order: "Yes, father, I will send someone to do it later, and I will never let go of any fish that slips through the net." ”

"Father, ...... are you" Xie Yuheng looked at An Guogong with some surprise.

An Guogong sneered: "Didn't that kid want to take this opportunity to lure those people to help him deal with our Xie family?"

I will call him what he wants, and let him lead as much as he can.

When he's almost done, we'll serve those people to a pot. ”

"Father, is it really okay to tear your face now?"

An Guogong's eyes showed a heavy murderous intent, "Have you forgotten?" Our Xie family wants to fight for the world, so this reputation must not be allowed to be corrupted by that kid, especially not his reputation among the people.

Although those nobles and officials knew what was going on in their hearts, most of those people were greedy for life and afraid of death, and they would swing to whichever side the wind was strong.

As long as we have the power of the army, those people have nothing to worry about.

But if someone takes the opportunity to instigate a local mutiny or a civil uprising against our Xie family, then the matter can be big or small, especially in this eventful season, and we have to guard against it. ”

"It's just father, wouldn't it be too early to do it now?" Xie Yuheng still has some concerns.

According to the original plan, they wanted to wait for Emperor Shuntian to become a real tyrannical king, and then replace him with the righteousness of Tianxingdao.

However, although Emperor Shuntian made an arrest house to make the capital miserable and everyone was in danger, it had a limited impact on places outside the capital.

Nowadays, Emperor Shuntian is not a tyrant hated by everyone, except for a rumor of unfilial piety suspected of his father's seizure of the throne.

An Guogong sneered: "I didn't want to tear my face with that kid so early, but since he wants to slap me in the face in public, then we don't have to be polite." By the way, use that kid to get rid of dissidents.

After we had killed the people he had lured in a few rounds, the boy would naturally be obedient.

I want him to see how many pounds and taels he has.

If you want to be another Emperor Wu of Wei, is he that material? It's just too much to overpower. ”

Compared with his younger brother Xie Yuheng's caution, Xie Yukun was excited, looking like he was ready to do a big job.

An Guogong glanced at his eldest son and said coldly: "Don't be too concerned about this kind of thing, it's just a problem of ringworm, not enough to worry about." As long as that kid stays in the capital for a day, he will never be able to turn the sky upside down.

In contrast, the Ning family in the northwest and the Hu family in the south are our real henchmen.

I ask you, how is the defense of the south doing now? I don't want to hear about another southern city being taken by the Hu people. ”

Xie Yukun was the first to reply: "Father, don't worry, we have transferred the thirty percent of the soldiers and horses guarding Jiangnan to the south according to your orders. As long as they are there, they will not let the Hu people succeed again. ”

Xie Yuheng also replied: "Father, I plan to go to the south to see in person after a while, and check the local arming situation by the way." ”

"It's good for you to go over and take a look, the Hu people are not only good at fighting, but also good at running long distances, and they must not be careless."

"Yes, father."

……………………

"Old thief Xie deceives people too much! It's too much of a deception! In the imperial study, Emperor Shuntian Zhao Yufeng was extremely angry and slammed his fist on the table, and the bruises on his face were exposed.

Seeing the furious Emperor Shuntian, Xu Yuchu, who was the new champion of the Hanlin Academy, couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

As a monarch, how can he easily expose his thoughts and emotions in front of his subordinates.

If it was Zhao Yuyu, the eldest prince who was known for his elegance and calmness, I believe that he would never be so out of shape.

However, the person who finally sat on this dragon chair was not that person, which is indeed a pity.

After retracting these somewhat disrespectful thoughts, Xu Yuchu began to think about the current situation.

When he heard that the True Knowledge Daily, including the owner, the printer, and even the subordinates in charge of sweeping the floor, had all disappeared, Xu Yuchu's heart suddenly cooled.

He knew that those people must have been cleaned up by the Xie family, and now all the people in the newspaper hall have been replaced by the Xie family.

In other words, the Xie family has already snatched the true knowledge report.

This is not as simple as not giving the emperor a son, it is simply to tear his face with the emperor.

An Guogong's bold and arrogant reaction was really unexpected by Xu Yuchu.

He originally thought that a high-ranking and powerful person like An Guogong would definitely not dare to act rashly at this time because of his reputation.

But he didn't expect An Guogong to really dare to make a move at this extremely sensitive juncture, and as soon as he made a move, he would kill them all, and the means were ruthless.

It seems that he still underestimated the determination of An Guogong, the old fox.

"Xu Qingjia, what do you think should be done now?" After a round of venting, Zhao Yufeng finally regained his composure a little.

Xu Yuchu said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter is not all bad. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"The Xie family is doing this, which is equivalent to a blatant break with the emperor.

Perhaps the common people did not know about it, but it was impossible for the nobles and officials not to know about it.

After the matter gradually spreads, more and more people will naturally know that the emperor and the Xie family are not all the way.

It can be said that the emperor's goal has been preliminarily achieved.

Next, as long as the emperor expresses his dissatisfaction with the Xie family from time to time in the court, it will deepen this impression of others.

The minister believed that in the near future, a large number of loyal and righteous people would come to the emperor. ”

Zhao Yufeng frowned and said, "But I'm worried that if I push the Xie family too hard, those annihilators will be detrimental to me."

After all, I have no available soldiers around me except for an investigation office that can't be put on the stage. How good is that? ”

"Please rest assured that although the Xie family nominally holds the military power in the world, in fact, except for the Southwest Army, the newly formed Forbidden Army, and the five military camps, most of the commanders of the guards scattered around the country are not their henchmen.

Those commanders were willing to obey the orders of the Xie family, but they were just following the orders of the imperial court.

For more than 200 years since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, both the military and the people have great prestige, and everyone regards themselves as the people of the Great Wei.

And the lord of Great Wei is none other than the emperor.

Once the Xie family plots against it and wants to replace it, there will never be many people in the local health centers who are willing to rebel with the Xie family.

At that time, as long as there are loyal ministers and famous generals who are willing to stand up to drive away evil and help the right, they will naturally gather soldiers and horses from all over the world to come to the capital to serve the king.

In addition, the emperor should not forget that there is also a Zhenguo Duke in the northwest who claims to be an orphan of a loyal minister, and the Xie family will never dare to give the northwest general such a convenient excuse to send troops.

Therefore, the emperor does not have to worry, the emperor is the only bloodline of the Great Wei Heavenly Family. No matter how bold those people are, they don't dare to be unfavorable to the emperor.

This is equivalent to setting fire to self-immolation, and the Xie family will never dare to act rashly. ”

After listening to Xu Yuchu's analysis, Zhao Yufeng was a little relieved.

He couldn't help but rejoice that when he mutinied, he easily dealt with his younger brothers. Otherwise, if there are a few more Heavenly Family bloodlines, it will be difficult to say.

Who knows if the old thief Xie will directly abandon him and instead support other younger brothers who are easier to control to be the puppet emperor, this possibility is too great.

……………………

In the middle of the night, Xu Yuchu still didn't fall asleep, just sitting alone in the study and pondering.

Recently, he obviously felt that the palace's eyeliner had increased a lot, so that he didn't dare to have too much contact with the emperor, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the Xie family.

Fortunately, as a writer of the Hanlin Academy, he has the authority to revise the history of the country, record the emperor's words and deeds, lecture on the history, and draft the manuscript of the ceremony, so it is natural that he can usually have contact with the emperor, which is the best cover identity.

This gave him a chance to act as a member of the new emperor's staff.

Because the emperor's previous staff has been almost cleaned up by An Guogong, the emperor also urgently needs talents like him to help him give advice.

He did not regret taking the boat of the new emperor, because the new emperor, unlike the eldest prince, did not attach much importance to civil officials, and it can even be said that he was obviously hostile to civil officials. This is related to the fact that the eldest prince was supported by many civil officials before.

is also a civil official, if he doesn't want to stand out from the crowd, he can only fight for a dragon to get ahead among the hundred officials.

Although the entire government and the opposition are now controlled by the Xie family headed by An Guogong, he believes that sooner or later the situation will change.

In history, how many rebellious ministers and thieves who leaned towards the government and the opposition did not end up in the end of raiding their families and exterminating their clans, and the Xie family would definitely not be able to escape this result.

He was waiting, waiting for the opportunity to come.

……………………

Just as the monarchs and ministers in the capital were fighting, the New Year was finally quietly approaching.

Because his father-in-law Ning Zhiyuan wanted to stay in the northwest and sit in the border pass, Chi Fei took Ah Zhi back to the northwest for the New Year.

went back with him, as well as Ning Yabai and Ning Yafeng.

The family set off together, and when the group passed by Zhangzhou and Linqi, they also deliberately went in to see the terraced fields of the two places.

It was the first time for Ning Yafeng and Ah Zhi to see the terraced rice fields, and when they looked at the neat and orderly and endless terraced rice fields on the mountain that were separated like steps, they suddenly felt an eye-opener.

These terraces are scattered on numerous hills, each with a reservoir at the foot of the mountain, where water is brought in through a series of ditches that resemble a spider's web.

When they arrived, it was exactly two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and they saw countless homeless people working the terraces, making the final preparations for spring ploughing.

Because the harvest of these terraces involved their food rations for the coming year, no farmer dared to ignore it.

For some townspeople who originally lived in towns and could not farm, the government will also send experienced old farmers to guide them, so that they will not miss the spring ploughing.

Seeing this spectacular scene in front of him, Ning Yabai couldn't help but be amazed.

The last time he came, there wasn't even a fifth of the number of terraces. I didn't expect that after only a few months, the terraces had reached such a huge scale.

With so many fields, as long as there are no natural disasters in the coming year, the lives of these displaced people should be saved.

As the person in charge of the terrace project, Chi Fei naturally needs to understand the progress of various places.

After inquiring with the local magistrate, when he learned that there were not enough tools for farming for the displaced people, Chi Fei ordered Nazhi County: "Farming tools are being ordered to be built in workshops around the country, and people have been sent to Jiangnan and other places to buy them secretly. Tomorrow it should be all together before spring ploughing.

During this period, you can adopt a separate farming system, that is, divide the work into two shifts in the morning and evening.

Starting from the morning hour and ending in the afternoon, it is considered the morning shift.

Then it starts from the beginning of time and ends at night at the end of the night, which is considered the evening shift.

In this way, it is possible to ensure that every household has tools to use.

Of course, this is only a temporary emergency method, and when the tools are in place, there is no need to be so troublesome. ”

"Yes, my lord, the lower officials will do it."

"That's hard work, everyone."

"Your Excellency is polite, this is what the lower officials should do."

After explaining the matter, Chi Fei returned to Ning Yabai and the others to prepare to leave, only to find that the three brothers and sisters were looking at him with a strange smile.

"What, there's something on my face?" Chi Fei subconsciously touched his face.

Ning Yafeng laughed and said, "You guy used to say that he was not suitable for being an official, isn't this quite decent?" ”

Ning Yabai also smiled and said: "I can see that Ah Zhen is not unsuitable for being an official, but not suitable for being a petty official." He's not used to being managed. ”

Ah Zhi ran over and hugged her sweetheart's arm with starry eyes, she felt that her brother was really powerful, as if he knew everything. Especially after seeing the incomparably magnificent terraced rice fields in front of me, my admiration for him couldn't help but deepen in my heart.

"Okay, okay, you talk a lot. If I had a choice, I just wanted to be an idler, and I didn't want to care about so many things. Alright, let's go. ”

The group then began to set off again with a smile and went straight to the northwest.
