Chapter 86: Killing Monkeys and Chickens
King Qi went to Ji Qiao to discuss.
Ji Qiao said directly: "Your Majesty, you give two thousand cavalry, and I will take it to a family to clean up." ”
"Okay." King Qi nodded without hesitation and agreed, thinking that this matter had to be something hard, and just reasoning would not work.
However, he also advised: "Master Qiao, don't make trouble!" ”
"Your Majesty, rest assured! I know the right thing. ”
Then, Ji Qiao found Lin Shi, Ji Ling, and the princess, and explained: "You and I will take two thousand cavalry to do something." ”
"Good!" The three of them agreed very happily, knowing that Ji Qiao was going to take the troops out, there must be something exciting to do!
The four of them took 2,000 cavalry and went to a princes' fiefdom closest to Linzi City.
This candidate is called Zhenguo Hou, and when he saw Ji Qiao and the princess coming with two thousand cavalry, he was really frightened! Busy out to greet.
Ji Qiao was not polite, and asked directly: "Zhen Guohou, can you receive the reform document issued by the imperial court?" ”
Zhen Guohou replied: "Received." ”
Ji Qiao asked again, "Do the people and slaves know?" ”
Zhen Guohou nodded and said, "I know, but I don't want to take the land." ”
"I don't believe it, you called the people and slaves of the fiefdom, and I asked them one by one." Ji Qiao said unceremoniously.
"I'm all busy with farm work now, and I won't be able to call for a while." Zhen Guohou found a reason to shirk.
"Then I'll go to the field and ask one by one."
After Ji Qiao finished speaking, he directly took people to the crop field.
Zhen Guohou immediately followed nervously.
......
Ji Qiao asked the busy people and slaves to be gathered together.
Then he asked directly: "The imperial court has issued a decree to distribute land to all households, are you all unwilling to receive it?" ”
But no one answered.
Ji Qiao knew very well that it must be Zhen Guohou here, and they didn't dare to speak.
So he encouraged: "Don't be afraid, if you have something to say, I'm Ji Qiao, and the one next to me is a princess, no one dares to do anything to you!" ”
But still no one answered.
Ji Qiao looked at Zhen Guohou: "You make a statement to everyone, tell the truth, otherwise we will directly take your fief." ”
Zhenguo was intimidated by the power of the princess and Ji Qiao, so he had to say to everyone: "What Gongzi Qiao said is true, don't worry about it." ”
When the people and slaves saw that the town and the country were in front of Ji Qiao, behaving submissively, and that the princess was there, they began to speak boldly:
"No one told me, there is such a good thing, we rush to ask for it!"
"Yes, I didn't know about it, we have been slaves for generations, and we never dared to think about it!"
"I've heard from relatives in the city about it, but the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion said it was a rumor."
"Yes, I also asked the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion, but he said it was nonsense."
......
Zhen Guohou is panicked! Hurriedly explained: "Princess, Gongzi Qiao, this is not my intention alone, I have discussed this matter with the princes." ”
"What is the outcome of the discussion?" Ji Qiao asked loudly.
Zhen Guohou hurriedly replied: "There is no result, and in the end, everyone asked the housekeeper of Xuanwu Houfu, how to deal with it?" But he said: My lord is not here, I dare not make decisions on this matter! If someone takes the lead, Xuanwu Houfu will respond.
Therefore, we are reluctant to take the lead and do our best to block the news. ”
Ji Qiao thought to himself, it seems that he still has to get the Xuanwu Houfu first, so he said to Zhenguo Hou: "Quickly notify the reform decree, let everyone in your fiefdom know, and don't embarrass these people today, we will go to Xuanwu Houfu now." ”
Zhen Guohou hurriedly replied: "Okay, I'll let the housekeeper do it immediately, and I won't dare to embarrass these people." ”
Ji Qiao was still not at ease, so he left some people here to help, so as not to make ghosts behind his back.
Then he took two thousand people to Xuanwu Houfu.
......
After the housekeeper of Xuanwu Houfu saw Ji Qiao, he immediately felt that something was wrong, this must be to make trouble for himself!
But he still pretended to ask: "Princess, Gongzi Qiao, what is the important thing that you brought so many people here?" ”
Ji Qiao didn't bother to beat around the bush, and asked directly: "Are you behind the agricultural reform?" ”
Xuanwu Hou butler replied: "Young Master Qiao, wronged! I'm just a housekeeper, but I don't have the ability, and I don't dare to call the shots, I'm just waiting for others to take the lead, and I've sent someone to the front line to inform the master. ”
"Okay, I'll take the lead for you. From today onwards, the Xuanwu fiefdom will be taken over by us, and we will return it to you when the agricultural reform is completed. Ji Qiao has a very tough attitude and does not show any mercy.
The Xuanwu waiter was on fire, but he didn't dare to attack. knew that Ji Qiao was not easy to deal with, not to mention that the princess was next to her, and her master was not there.
scolded in his heart: You fucking you, you deliberately took advantage of the master's absence to come over and bully people!
However, the psychology is also clear that Ji Qiao defeated 15,000 people of the Sanjin coalition army with 500 cavalry last time. This time, he brought 2,000 cavalry, while his Hou Mansion only had 8,000 soldiers, and the cavalry was less than 500, so it was impossible to fight hard with Ji Qiao!
In fact, even if you can win, you don't dare to fight! Ji Qiao came on behalf of the king, so it became a rebellion!
Ji Qiao said again: "Although your government has not explicitly opposed the reform, it has not played a good role. As the saying goes, killing chickens makes an example of monkeys, and I want to kill monkeys and chickens, and I want to kill the biggest monkey. ”
Ji Qiao didn't talk to the housekeeper anymore, and directly asked people to call the people and slaves of the Xuanwu Hou fiefdom over, and then announced the reform policy.
Now everyone is excited! The scene also became lively.
Ji Qiao saw that there were many people and slaves in the Xuanwu Hou fiefdom, and the matter of dividing the land could not be done in a day or two, so he decided to send two hundred people every day in the future to deal with this matter directly.
Then he took the soldiers back to the city, and said proudly: "I have to come hard!" ”
"You're a bully!" All three women were not convinced.
Ji Qiao sighed: "Hey! I had planned to let you take 2,000 men and horses every day from tomorrow onwards and go door-to-door to bully, but since you don't approve of this, forget it. ”
The three of them immediately changed their attitudes, and said with a hippie smile: "We just made an evaluation of this matter, and we didn't say that you did something wrong, and we still like this practice very much." ”
Ji Qiao pretended to be and said: "Oh, it seems that I have a problem with my comprehension ability, so from tomorrow onwards, you will go door-to-door to bully." Don't beat people, be polite to the people and slaves, and don't scold like people. ”
Lin Shi smiled: "We will only scold you." ”
The princess suddenly became worried: "The Marquis of Xuanwu is now leading troops to fight on the front line, but we are fighting his life in the rear, not afraid of his rebellion?" ”
Ji Qiao replied very calmly: "He doesn't dare!" ”
"Why?" The princess asked curiously.
Ji Qiao analyzed: "If Xuanwu Hou wants to rebel, there are only two ways to go:
One is to lead troops to other countries, but the homes of those soldiers are all in Qi country, and Qi country is not dead, and it is relatively strong, so it is impossible for the soldiers to go with him, at most only some cronies follow him, so it can't be a climate;
The second is to directly lead troops to attack the capital Linzi, but with my 500 cavalry, Xuanwu Hou has no bottom in his heart, so he doesn't dare. ”
The princess thinks it makes sense! If that's the case, my father will have nothing more than a trouble!
......
Starting the next day, Lin Shi, the princess, and Ji Ling happily took 2,000 cavalry out every day to bully them.
Those princes and princes and nobles didn't expect that Ji Qiao would pull his face like this and directly lead troops to forcibly change the land!
But they all dared to be angry with Ji Qiao and the princess, and knew that it was unreasonable to talk to them, so they made an appointment to go to the king together to ask for an explanation.
Who knows, King Qi's attitude is also very tough: "This matter has already been ordered, but you have to deceive the superiors and subordinates, and now you are here to ask for some explanation!" It's not that I didn't compensate you. ”
Someone said: "Your Majesty, Ji Qiao does not respect the etiquette system, has no elders, and does not distinguish between dignity and inferiority. ”
King Qi actually replied: "People who have the ability to do things are not informal!" Qiao Gongzi also called Lone an old man, and Lone didn't care, so just bear with it. ”
Now, everyone stopped squeaking, knowing that it was useless to talk more, the king was already iron-hearted!
Therefore, Lin Shi and the princess are even more unscrupulous!
With 2,000 cavalry all day long!
.....
One afternoon, Lin Shi, the princess, and Ji Ling still led the troops out to fight and bully.
Lin Qing suddenly called Ji Qiao over mysteriously.
After Ji Qiao arrived, he saw that Lin Yan was also there, and he was very puzzled, what are these father and son going to do? Why don't you dare to talk to Mrs. Dongfang in person!
However, Lin Qing immediately asked someone to bring a woman, who looked to be in her twenties.
But she is a stunning beauty!
Mature and charming, seductive, and unstoppable!
Ji Qiao got a little carried away!
Lin Qing smiled and said, "Young Master Qiao, after looking at this woman, is it a little confusing!" ”
Ji Qiao was a little embarrassed: "Let you see the smile." ”
Lin Qing said, "I just saw this woman, and her expression is the same as yours!" She was given to my father by the King of Wei, and my father asked me to call you. ”
Ji Qiao thought to himself that he was very puzzled: King Wei didn't need to talk to the Hou Ye at all! What is the purpose of sending beautiful women over?
Then he asked, "Childe, didn't the person sent by King Wei say anything?" ”
Lin Qing replied: "The people of the King of Wei said: The Marquis of An Bang is an important minister of the Qi State, and the King of Wei specially offered this daughter to show friendship. ”
Ji Qiao thought to himself: It must be that King Wei heard about the power of Qiao Jockey, and thought that those weapons and equipment were created by Lin Yan, and deliberately sent beautiful women to be spies in order to steal technology.
But it doesn't feel right, this intention is too obvious, you can guess with a little brain, King Wei won't be so stupid!
At the same time, my heart is ten thousand Chu Wei kings! Such a beauty, why did she give it to Hou Ye!
I had to ask him for it right away, but I endured it.
However, I was unwilling, I had been worried to death for nearly a year, such a stunning beauty, but Lin Yan picked up a big bargain!
But he didn't bother to think about it, so he smiled against his will: "Master Hou, since it was given to you, take it!" ”
Lin Yan sighed: "Young Master Qiao, I can't be blessed, just look at it and be satisfied!" In front of women, I can't turn over in my life. ”
However, he also reminded: "This King of Wei also used his scheming to send a woman, he didn't give it to me directly, but gave it to Qing'er, and then asked him to transfer it to me, obviously thinking that my father and son would quarrel over women." ”
Ji Qiao's mind was all about the beauty just now, and she didn't think about it so much, but now she finds that Lin Yan's analysis is very reasonable!
He said reluctantly: "It's still Hou Ye who is mature and steady, and sees things thoroughly!" Since you don't want it, then the son will take it. ”
