Chapter 18: The Princes Contradict Each Other
Zhou Gao went down to the city, greeted everyone, and saw An Lehou and the others looking around, with a slightly vigilant look, and said with a smile, "Hou Ye can rest assured, if Hou Ye can't trust the last general, wait to see King Liang, and then transfer back to the original guard."
Hearing Zhou Gao say this, An Lehou smiled and said, "That's not necessary, since it is the arrangement of King Liang and the marquis, it naturally makes sense, but I don't know the general, what changes can happen in the city in the near future?" ”
Zhou Gao smiled and said, "There are no big things, but there are a lot of small things?" ”
"Oh?" An Lehou was suspicious for a while, trying to understand some information from Zhou Gao's mouth, "What are the interesting things, can the general tell Ben Hou something?" ”
"It's "Zhou Gao hugging his fist" In the past few days, the subordinates of various marquis have bullied the people in the city, occupied the people's daughters, and did not give money for food and housing, and hundreds of people were trying to survive in the cracks, and finally they couldn't bear it anymore, so most of them were forced to leave Jeju."
"Damn, what kind of blind subordinate of the Hou Ye actually did such an ugly thing! Bully the good people, see if grandpa doesn't hammer him to death! Pang Gu was furious, and there was anger in his eyes.
He is rough by nature, fierce in fighting, but kind-hearted, and hates this kind of national disaster the most in his life, who does not want to serve the country, but oppresses the people.
An Lehou also had a twitch in his heart, this Jeju has been his family's territory since ancient times, and the people here have inexplicable feelings with themselves, he loves the people like a son, and is also called a great good man by the people, but now he actually lures the wolf into the house, summons the princes of Bailu, and displaces the people.
It's just that now that Zhou Gao is here, he held back his anger and shouted, "General Pang Hugh wants to say more!" ”
After that, he turned his head and said calmly to Zhou Gao, "General, please continue."
"King Liang learned that he ordered all soldiers to be forbidden to oppress the people, but who knew that these subordinates would become even more violent?"
"Don't those princes care?!" Pang Gu couldn't help but shout
"All the princes have power, which one is willing to submit? Showing respect and respect, who knows what to do behind his back, King Liang's admonition is useless and ignores it, but fortunately, my King Chu is quite prestigious, and his words shocked the crowd, so it stopped for a few days"
For the King of Chu, An Lehou does not go to the court, and he doesn't understand, so he guesses according to Zhou Gao's words, the King of Chu should not be a bad person, but it is not easy to speculate about why, An Lehou is not easy to speculate, after all, Zhou Gao is a subordinate of the King of Chu, and it is not impossible to fake and elevate the King of Chu.
A few people quickly walked into the city, and as soon as they entered the street, they obviously found that there were fewer pedestrians and vendors, and when they saw this, An Lehou sighed and suddenly felt powerless, thinking that his Jeju might not be guaranteed now, and he still had the energy to take care of the people.
Pang Gu glared and wanted to open his mouth to scold, An Lehou felt something, turned his head and glared at Pang Gu, and he held back his words.
Guo Wei originally had very few words, but after entering the city, he just sighed and did not say much.
Xu Wen has rarely spoken since he captured Fengyang that day, and at this moment, he looked around and did not speak.
…
An Lehou Mansion
At this moment, all the marquis gathered together, are drinking and having fun, An Le Hou and others smelled a strong smell of wine and meat from afar, after entering the door, what came into the eyes was a table full of dishes, and then there was a thick smile on the faces of the princes and nobles, but it was just drinking, and there were no maiko dancing in the hall.
An Lehou's face darkened when he saw this, and Pang Gu was also holding back his anger.
The king of Chu was the first to see An Lehou coming, and took the lead in greeting him, and said with a smile, "Master Hou, please!" ”
The king of Chu was tall and burly, his eyes were very bright, his nose and mouth were full of beards, and he had a fierce appearance.
"The weasel gave the chicken a New Year's greeting, but he didn't have a good heart"
When An Lehou saw King Chu coming, he thought secretly, but he didn't turn his face at the moment, and walked up too.
At this time, the other Hou Ye realized the arrival of An Lehou and gave up their seats one after another.
According to the hierarchy of the Liang Dynasty, first the emperor, the prince, the prince, then the foreign surname Wang, then the descendant Hou Ye, and then the foreign surname Hou Ye.
An Le Hou belongs to the Hou Ye of the lineage, although the King of Chu is a foreign surname king, but he is also one level older than An Le Hou, as for Liang Mudan, the king of Liao, Liang He is a prince, two levels older than An Le Hou.
Zhongjin Hou Liang Qun, Baichuan Hou Liang Zhi and dozens of others are all at the same level as An Le Hou.
Baishi Hou Wang Chong, Bayu Hou Guo Jian, Sanyi Hou Kangxian, etc. are all third-class marquis, slightly lower than An Lehou.
In the past, An Le Hou belonged to the Hou of the lineage, and if he encountered an emergency, he could also compete with the prince with a foreign surname, but now, the Liang Dynasty was already in chaos, and no one cared about the size of the official position, and everyone only cared about the sphere of influence, grain and grass, and soldiers and horses.
An Lehou's innate arrogance prompted him to ignore the crowd, just said hello to a few princes, and then found a lower position and sat down, with Pang Gu and the others standing behind him.
In fact, An Le Hou has 200,000 soldiers and horses, and half of the marquis present is not as young as him, and he does have proud capital.
If he fights alone, An Lehou is naturally not afraid of these people, but he is worried that these little marquis have a very small sphere of influence, and in order to survive in troubled times, or those who have some ideas, they will form gangs and find a big tree to enjoy the shade.
Nowadays, the most powerful princes must have a lot of Hou Ye attached, but he has not found out until now.
An Lehou picked up the wine glass, took a deep sip, and then said to the first King of Chu, "Lord Chu, I don't know where King Liang is?" ”
He had a lot of worries in his heart, and wanted to ask King Liang the reason. But now I found out that King Liang was not in the hall.
At first, he noticed something unusual, and felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.
The king of Chu smiled, as if he remembered something, and said, "King Liang doesn't like to drink, so he went back first."
"Oh?" An Lehou was quite puzzled, on such an important occasion, King Liang was the leader of the Bailu Princes, even if he didn't drink, he should be there.
"King Liang is a woman, how can he understand my thoughts?" At this time, a marquis below took advantage of the wine to speak, the voice was not very loud, but everyone present heard it clearly.
"What did you say?!" There is no shortage of loyal and righteous people among the many marquis, and one of them stood up at that moment, glared angrily, and snorted coldly.
The man may be because of the drunkenness, but he did not shy away from it, and said, "King Liang is indecisive, and the kindness of a woman is not a big responsibility, just in time for today's chaos, it is the time for my generation to rise!" ”
Saying that, the man showed a look of looking at the world, spoke proudly, and said that his blood was boiling.
If everyone didn't understand what he was talking about before, now they have a deep understanding.
The princes present were all shocked and terrified.
This is a blatant rebellion!
Although they all have this ambition in their hearts, they have never told anyone about it, for fear of being suppressed by the world.
Now that it has been said, most of the princes choose to wait and see what happens, all of them are holding a good attitude and letting things develop.
Of course, there are also many marquis who are loyal to the Liang Dynasty, and there is one person who shouts "dog thief!" After eating a full meal, I don't know that the emperor's grace is vast! You kind of crumb, you should be cut with a thousand cuts! ”
"Hugh is full of nonsense, the princes of the hundred roads present, which one doesn't have my mind? It's just that I'm just helping you figure it out, and if I should cut it with a thousand cuts, what should they do?! Which marquis opened his mouth again, and his eyes swept over everyone.
