Chapter 1094: The Emperor's Elephant
It is not only Li Yi and Li Duan who came to Cangzhou, in order to enhance the cohesion of the Holy Sect, Ruoqing, as the incarnation of the Queen of Heaven, cannot always exist in the portrait, but also has to show up in front of the believers.
This time, Ruyi and Zuimmo did not follow, Ruyi wanted to stay in Ruyi City to preside over the overall situation, Li Mu was still young, and he had not yet been weaned, so Zuimo could not leave.
Without the Grandmaster to follow, there is no way to guarantee safety in extreme situations, even if Elder Xu is no longer willing to come to Wuguo, this time he will go to Cangzhou with them.
"What are you doing here?" Miss Liu Er looked at him and asked, with her understanding of Duan'er, it was impossible for him to think of himself.
"Duan'er said that he misses you, of course, this is only one of the reasons......" Li Yi looked at Li Duan, who was hiding far away after calling "Auntie", and said: "There is nothing to do in the mountains, I will take him out to see the world, and by the way, see your progress, Cangzhou has not been captured yet?" ”
Miss Liu Er said: "Take the city in three days." ”
"There are still three days, don't worry......" Li Yi nodded, thought about it, and said: "Duan'er just said that he was hungry, why don't you cook a bowl of noodles for him to eat first...... if it's convenient, cook a bowl for me too, put more vegetables and more noodles......"
Regardless of whether Li Duan wanted to come to see Ruyi, whether it was to eat the food she cooked, as a father, Li Yi could not refuse a child's reasonable request.
By the way, he also wanted to see with his own eyes what kind of situation Cangzhou was now.
After dinner, walking in the village with them, Yang Liuqing introduced him: "Seven county county officials, these days, we have taken it one after another, and the officials in the county government have also used some means to control it, and some of the people can be used by us in a short time, and now only the state city ......is left."
It has been several months since they broke into pieces and quietly came to Cangzhou.
In addition, before this, Xu Zheng had already brought people here to develop believers, and in the end, their progress was not fast.
However, this is also what Li Yi deliberately did, Cangzhou is a remote and remote place for Wuguo, but Cangzhou and the land of chaos are closely adjacent, as long as Cangzhou is held, no matter how powerful the foreign enemy is, you can get a steady stream of support from the land of chaos.
This piece of contention must be firmly and thoroughly grasped in their hands, rather than simply occupying the official office, which will easily end up with them two years ago.
The snow has not disappeared, and walking on the road, you can see that many villagers in the village are busy, building some strangely shaped buildings.
This is a fence that is about to be built, but all the people in the vicinity, who can't get by, come here to do a job, even if it is just sweeping the floor and moving wood, they can get two meals a day, and they can eat enough.
The one-eyed General Fan followed behind a few people, looked at the busy people in the distance, and wondered: "Your Highness, we give porridge to the people, why do we let them do these jobs, what is the use of building these extra houses, just give them food?" ”
Prime Minister Wang shook his head and explained: "Because we want to let the people know that their porridge and rice are all exchanged for by their labor, and not rely on us to give alms, promote rice and fight rice hatred, and people's hearts are unpredictable, and the more they give, the more counterproductive it will be in the end......
After he finished speaking, he looked at the one-eyed general and said: "Even if you are a military general, you can't stop studying, after General Fan goes back, you have to read more books, what the old man just said, there are ...... written in the books."
General Fan secretly said that he really shouldn't talk too much just now, so he could only nod his head and say yes, even if he still had doubts in his heart, he didn't dare to ask any more.
At this time, two men carrying a log walked past several people.
One of them sighed and said, "You say, when will the person of destiny come when will the queen of heaven come and when will this hard day end?" ”
The other person pursed his lips and said, "You can be content, move wood for a day, and the family will have food for several days, what kind of hard life is it?" ”
"Who doesn't want a better day?" The man paused, and suddenly said, "Have you heard that the person who can save the people's destiny said by the Queen of Heaven is actually Princess Duanrong......"
The man was stunned and asked, "Where did you hear that?" ”
"Everyone is saying, saying that when the queen gave birth to Princess Duanrong, a phoenix fell on the palace and hovered for three days before flying away, and some people said that Princess Duanrong was born to speak, when she was born, there was a strange fragrance wafting out of ten miles, and most of the emperor could smell it, mortals smelled it, and their hearts were relaxed, and all diseases were eliminated......"
Someone came up to them, heard their conversation, and said in surprise: "True and fake, born with a mouth and a strange fragrance, that is the image of the saint in the world......
The man carrying the wood shook his head and said, "I don't know if it's true or not, but I also heard that this is the image of the emperor, and those who had these signs in ancient times eventually became emperors!" ”
The passer-by said disdainfully: "You can pull it down, Princess Duanrong is a woman, can a woman be an emperor?" ”
The man carrying the wood looked even more disdainful, and said: "You still don't believe it if you say that you are lonely and unheard, don't say it far away, just say that it is close, then Emperor Jingguo is a woman, and he governs the country better than men, why can't my Emperor Wuguo be a woman?" ”
The passer-by was stunned and surprised: "Is this really the case?" ”
"How else can I lie to you?" The man who looked at the wood pretended to be profound, and said: "One person says it's fake, and a hundred people and a thousand people say, can it still be fake, I have to give you a good ......."
Not far away, a steward looked over here and shouted, "You two, what are you doing, have you finished moving the wood, do you want to eat, don't you want to move and others!" ”
The man shuddered, and immediately said: "Come on, don't move, don't touch my wood, whoever touches my wood I ...... anxious."
The passer-by froze in place for a long time, looked at a young man passing by him, and asked, "What he just said is true?" ”
Li Yi nodded and said: "What's more, when Princess Duanrong was born, Jingxing came out, Qingyun appeared, Fengming Imperial Capital, and the emperor was angry, and a traveling Taoist priest who passed by the palace at that time said, this is the emperor's life, and people with this kind of life must be the emperor's ...... in the future."
It wasn't until the passer-by left in a daze that General Fan touched his head and said with some surprise: "When His Royal Highness was born, I was on duty at the city gate, there was no phoenix at that time, and there was no fragrance, as for those Jingxing Qingyun, it was even more nonsense, who spread the rumor, and actually dared to spread rumors about the princess, see if I didn't pick his skin!" ”
Wei Liang, who had just come back, looked at him, and finally couldn't help but speak, and said: "Lao Fan, otherwise, don't lead the troops, or supervise those people to move wood, that life is leisurely, and you don't need to use your brains, it's very suitable for you......"
The one-eyed general was stunned and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Yang Liuqing blushed a little, although she knew what the purpose of Goolan's words was, she was still a little embarrassed in front of so many people......
Li Yi looked at her and comforted: "These are nothing, there used to be a shameless guy who said that he was not a human being, and he turned into a dragon when he encountered a storm......
Those who have become big things, informal, did not say that when she was born, the word "empress" was written on the palm of her hand, which is already very restrained.
To be an emperor, you must first learn to be shameless.
She didn't know how shameless Li Xuan, the emperor, was, and even the country had to be helped to manage it......
"Don't think about it yet." He looked at Yang Liuqing and said, "When you take Cangzhou, you will have to be busy for a while......"
Cangzhou Prefecture City.
Cangzhou Thorn Shi sneezed, rubbed his nose, and asked, "Have you found out everything you want to investigate?" ”
Below, a small official nodded and said: "Lord Hui, it's all clear, that holy sect is nothing more than a group of self-proclaimed chivalrous people, helping the people to suppress bandits everywhere and release food, saying that it is to punish the strong and eliminate the evil, help the world and save the people......"
In the troubled times, there are not many chivalrous people with less brains, as long as it is not a rebellion, Cangzhou Thorn Shi put his heart down and said: "The official knows, you go down." ”
"The next official retired."
The little official bowed and withdrew, Cangzhou Thorn Shi couldn't help but sneeze again, he touched his nose and muttered, "I didn't catch a cold last night......"
He stood up, and for some reason, there was always a sense of foreboding in his heart......
The little official walked out of the door and into the courtyard, and when he passed by the two officials, he raised his hand slightly and stretched out three fingers......
