Chapter 382: A Twist of Fate
Of course, Ding Qixiang didn't know that he had actually fallen into the net......
He's rejoicing!
Fortunately, he was lucky enough to meet a lucky star who could take him unimpeded, otherwise with Liu Nan's original Beizhili accent, they really wouldn't be able to reach Huoqiu......
That's so eye-catching!
It is true that there are no people from the north in the south, but either they fled south and lived in the south for many years and their accents have long since changed, or they are those who are unlikely to appear in this area, and their resettlement places are definitely not included here. Liu Nan's original Beizhili accent is like a star in the dark no matter where he goes, and if no one is eyeing him, it will be abnormal.
Fortunately, there is Yan Wu.
There should be this road all year round, there are acquaintances everywhere along the way, from the beginning of the Wuguan to Huoqiu, it can be said that the road is unimpeded, and all the cards are directly released without any obstruction.
Of course he didn't know, this was the purpose of Yan Wu following them.
Escort them.
In case they were taken down by any level on the way, they would not be able to continue acting, in order to confirm His Majesty the Emperor's treason, Yang Qing had to send the Jiannu envoy to Huoqiu smoothly. When His Majesty the Emperor had negotiated with the envoy and returned with something like a secret covenant, he would take it down and take it as evidence. At that time, it was impossible for Zhu Cihong to turn over, if he still had room to shirk the Japanese slave incident, then there was no room for shirk in this matter.
Recruiting Jiannu to invade as emperor......
Such an emperor definitely can't want it, let alone now, even in the past, this had to be regarded as a standard dumb monarch.
Huoqiu.
"Lao Yan, don't embarrass your brother!"
Said the officer guarding the door.
This is the city of King Fu's domain, but the officials are definitely not appointed by him, and the peasants around Huoqiu are just tenants of King Fu, and they do not need to pay taxes for farming as the fief of the Fu Domain, but only pay rent to King Fu. But they are still the people of the Ming Dynasty, and the management is still managed by the local officials of the Ming Dynasty, and the same is true of the original feudal fiefdoms of the feudal kings, such as the millions of acres of fertile land in the past of King Fu, which are actually not as good as now. At that time, two million mu were set aside in Henan, Huguang, and Nanzhi provinces as his fiefs, and local officials collected taxes on these fiefs in accordance with legal standards, and then handed over the taxes to him.
But it is usually the province that gives him a rating according to the size of the fief.
It does not mean that the land belongs to him.
There is also land that belongs to him, and he buys it with his own money or forcibly grabs it by other means, and such land belongs to him, which is why there will be a large number of gentry who put the land in the name of the vassal king, but there is no need to worry that the vassal king will directly take their land. These lands are still the gentry's, and they are also theirs in the legal sense, but they pay taxes to King Fu, but King Fu can't even get out of the city, and the taxes are collected by those local officials, as long as they collude with local officials, then these lands can avoid the imperial court tax.
We are giving the tax to the blessed king.
As for the blessed king......
King Fu knew that he was a fart, and he knew that he only received money from local officials every year, and he had no right to care about anything else.
He didn't dare to care.
He is a vassal king except for eating and waiting for death, no matter what he does, he is unlucky, just like the Tang King back then, the latter is because King Qin has been a prisoner for many years, and he has also suffered from the nue treatment of the eunuch during his time as a prisoner.
So King Fu really doesn't hate Yang Qing.
He is tired of cultivating wasteland, but the ownership of this fief is his, as long as he is diligent and good to the tenants, this fief will really be reclaimed and the income will far exceed the past. Relying on the low rent of King Fu over the years, Huoqiu, which had been completely deserted, gradually regained its prosperity, especially after the arrival of the emperor, the garrison and court officials, and the elderly and righteous people also arrived, and this small county town was actually crowded into more than 20,000 people.
It's already comparable to before it was destroyed by war.
"This is the place where the emperor is stationed, and all those who enter the city must be strictly searched to prevent anyone from plotting to kill the holy driver."
The official said.
"Even I have to search for it?"
Yan Wu said with an unhappy face.
The officer nodded awkwardly.
"Search, hurry up and let him search, what else is there to be afraid of your emperor, I really want to kill him At this time, the bones are rotten, no one has seen it when he was in Chang'an!"
Yan Wu waved his hand back dissatisfiedly.
The official hurriedly beckoned the soldiers beside him to come forward and search his body, and Yan Wu sat down on the official's chair with a big grin, picked up the teapot and poured the tea himself, and then watched the soldiers search his entourage. Ding Qixiang and the others were already quietly at the end, their eyes were obviously drifting towards the city, Yan Jun looked there casually, and a Confucian dressed as a Confucian was looking nervously here.
"Lao Wang, you just have to say it, you don't know who we are!"
Yan Wu shouted at the official.
At this time, three searches have been carried out in a row, and of course it is impossible to find anything suspicious on these actual brocade guards, and the official hesitated to look at the back.
Liu Yan looked at him a little nervously.
The soldiers continued to search behind one by one.
Even Ding Qixiang showed a trace of nervousness, Yan Wu urged dissatisfiedly, the official was still hesitating, the soldiers were still searching one by one, and the search was quite detailed, even the clothes were pinched all over, and even the shoes had to be taken off, and they had to reach out and touch them inside. Looking at the soldiers who were getting closer and closer, Ding Qixiang's faces were getting worse and worse, and Liu Qi had a little cold sweat on his forehead, Ding Qixiang kept signaling to the Confucian student with his eyes, but the latter had nothing to do.
Or maybe they don't dare to step forward.
"Get out of the way!"
Suddenly, a horse-drawn carriage came from behind.
"Stop!"
The official hurriedly shouted.
The soldiers who had been searching immediately gave up the search, quickly lowered the barricades, and raised their guns outside, and the carriage had to stop......
"I can't search it yet!"
Yan Wu shouted with a teacup.
The officer waved his hand impatiently.
"Let's go, it's troublesome!"
Yan Wu said.
Ding Qixiang and the others secretly let out a sigh of relief, with the cold sweat on their bodies, and followed Yan Wu into Huoqiu in this way, and the Confucian who had been watching this scene also breathed a sigh of relief. Of course, they didn't know that this was a pure prank, even if there was no carriage behind, they would have been allowed to go, it was just that Yan Wu and the official were playing tricks on them.
The Confucian looked at their backs, left the hotel as fast as he could, and then walked towards the emperor's palace.
In fact, it is the Fu Wangfu.
Poor King Fu had just spent more than 100,000 yuan to build his own palace, and he had to give it to the emperor after living in less than half a year, and then the whole family moved to the county government to live. And he still has to pay for his nephew and the two thousand Japanese slaves, no wonder he deliberately used Yang Qing's holy decree to anger his nephew, if he continues like this, he should go bankrupt.
An hour later.
A man walked out of the palace and went to the only hotel opened by King Fu in the city, claiming that he was a member of Ding Qixiang's commercial commune in Anqing, and that he was waiting here to take them to Anqing on important matters. So Ding Qixiang and the others broke up with Yan Wu smoothly, followed this person out of the hotel, and then entered the palace smoothly under the help of the people arranged by Ding Kuichu. In front of Ding Kuichu, Liu Nan took out the covenant from the mezzanine of his boots, but then he was taken down alone, and then Mao Qiling and others who knew about it were called to Ding Kuichu's room, and a group of people were entangled in the covenant.
It's embarrassing.
Zhu Cihong didn't know about it at all.
They are white wolves with empty gloves, but now the goal has been achieved, and it has been achieved perfectly, but it is a little too perfect, even the covenant is there, how sincere is this Dolgon!
But they didn't!
We just want to fool you, why are you so serious? We're just playing, but why did you take out all the household registration books and drag us to get the certificate? We didn't even tell the parents here! How do you explain this to His Majesty the Emperor? We concealed it from the emperor, and in your name fornicated with Jiannu and formed an alliance with Jiannu, and now that the covenant has been sent, you can see if you have signed it......
What is the difference between this and Yang Qing?
Yang Qing's fake transmission of the holy decree is also no different from the false transmission of the holy decree, and even worse in nature, after all, Yang Qing's false transmission is internal affairs, which is a private contact with the enemy country.
"Mu Zhaigong, what do you see?"
Ding Kuichu said to Qian Qianyi, who closed his eyes and recuperated.
There were not many participants in the whole plan, as far as they and Mao Qiling, King Qi, that is, the original Qin King Zhu Cunshu, even the other ministers around the emperor such as Wang Yingxiong, the others of the Datong Society such as the actual party leader Huang Zongxi did not know, and even Lu Liuliang, who had the best friendship with the emperor, did not know. At the moment, there are also the four of them, but the original mastermind here is Mao Qiling, the first to support is Ding Kuichu, and Qian Qianyi and King Qi are persuaded by Ding Kuichu. After all, without Qian Qianyi's influence in the southern capital, it is impossible to take the next step, and the king of Qi is the most trusted relative of the emperor, he can influence the emperor, Ding Kuichu is responsible for ordering cooperation to those Japanese slaves, and Mao Qiling is in charge of the Datong Society and the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Once it is really started, it must be jointly acted by the Wenchen Group in Nandu and the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
"King Qi, this matter still has to be King Qi!"
Qian Qianyi said.
He's not stupid, so he won't get out of this kind of thing! Let Zhu Cunshu persuade the emperor, originally in this plan, he persuaded the emperor when necessary.
"This, this is too sudden!"
Zhu Cunshu is also struggling.
"Everyone, we have come to this point, are we cowering? Your Majesty signed this covenant, then a great thing can be accomplished, Your Majesty did not sign everything we did before in vain, this is a turning point in the fate of the Ming Dynasty, don't you feel a heroic righteousness? are still shirking each other here, what else is there to shirk, let's go and meet the emperor together! ”
Mao Qiling picked up the covenant and said righteously.
The water was too cold and Ding Kuichu looked at each other.
"Let's go together!"
Ding Kuichu stood up and said.
