Chapter 51: The Lord of Donghai County
When Su Ziheng blurted out that poem, he didn't want to pretend to be anything with Zhong Qinghan, but his actual understanding. No matter what era it is, no matter where it is, it has always been the people who have suffered the most from the bottom of society. The difference is only in the degree of suffering.
Xing, the people suffer; Death, the people suffer!
After Su Ziheng finished saying this, the people in the two carriages suddenly lost their voices, and they only heard the crunching sound of the carriages. Never before had several of them heard such profound and point-to-the-point words.
After a long time, Zhong Qinghan sighed faintly: "I didn't expect Su Gongzi to have such a deep understanding. Okay, Mercy Wind, you go and inform Leng Huo and tell him that this time he will only punish the evil, and the others will be released after a lesson. However, if they are found to gather to make trouble next time, they will be killed. ”
Mercy Feng knelt on one knee, "Yes, Your Highness Princess." ”
Su Ziheng saw a harrier turn over, burst out of the window of the carriage, and landed lightly on the ground, and in a few flashes, he had already disappeared in place.
"What a handsome kung fu." Su Ziheng couldn't help but praise, could it be that the girls in this world are all masters? How can you casually meet several masters who can single-handedly pick up more than a dozen of yourself.
"Wait, I just heard some terrible secret. Just now, Lian Feng seemed to call Zhong Qinghan Her Royal Highness the Princess? Isn't Zhong Qinghan a member of the Zhong family, how can he be named a princess? ”
Su Ziheng turned around and asked the few women in the carriage in a low voice, wanting to hear if they knew anything they didn't know. He didn't have any hope, but Ji Xiaoxiao really knew what was going on.
"I heard that Zhong Qinghan's title is the princess of Donghai County, this is not a false title, but a real title of the lord of Donghai County, a hundred miles of feudal towns, and thousands of households."
Su Ziheng was stunned when he heard it, although the county lord was the lowest title in the title of princess, it was nothing compared to the huge royal family. But it is different to seal the real city for a hundred miles, and eat thousands of households.
Basically, it can be said that Donghai County is Zhong Qinghan's country, and as long as she doesn't want to rebel openly in Donghai County, she can do whatever she wants.
In this era, a government city was not as big as a hundred miles, let alone a county seat. It's just that Su Ziheng is puzzled, since Zhong Qinghan is the county lord of Donghai, why don't he go to the fiefdom and stay in Xining City instead?
Looking at Su Ziheng's puzzled look, Ji Xiaoxiao sneered disdainfully: "Mr. Su, do you really think that Emperor Xia will be so generous and give a county to a daughter with a foreign surname?" ”
"Donghai County is a county, but it's actually just a small fishing village. I'm afraid that the total population of the entire county is only 100 households, even if Zhong Qinghan is a hundred miles away, what can a thousand households eat? ”
"I see, but how can she be named the county lord if she is a woman with a foreign surname?" Su Ziheng still didn't understand a little. In the ancient feudal society, the title of princess was not so easy to obtain.
According to the legal system, "the emperor's daughter is the princess, the prince's daughter is the county lord, and the county king's daughter is the county lord." ”
According to Zhong Qinghan's title of princess of Donghai County, the Zhong family must at least be crowned king, and Zhong Qinghan can be named the county lord. However, as far as Su Ziheng knows, Zhong Gang, the current head of the Zhong family, has only just been named the Duke of Xiliang.
The founding ancestor of Great Xia had an order that a different surname could not be crowned a king, so the duke was the highest title of Zhonggang.
"This is going to talk about Zhong Qinghan's origin, her father is the head of the Zhong family, Xiliang Gong Zhonggang, and her mother heard that she is the cousin of the current Xia Emperor. Therefore, the Zhong family was the most loyal supporter of Emperor Xia before Emperor Xia ascended the throne. ”
"Emperor Xia was able to succeed among several princes and ascend to the supreme throne, it can be said that the Zhong family is indispensable. Originally, I heard that Emperor Xia wanted to crown Zhonggang as the king of Xiliang, but the ancestral precepts could not be violated. had to compensate for Zhong Qinghan. ”
"Speaking of which, this Zhong Qinghan himself also has the ability, three years ago, he became famous in the first war, and burned the 60,000 allied troops of Mengxi, which dashed the hope of the Mengxi coalition army to seize Xiliang, and won time for the Zhongjia army to withdraw from the northern battlefield."
"With this battle alone, even if you are crowned an earl, let alone a county princess, it is not a problem. In addition, Emperor Xia wanted to compensate Zhong Gang and his cousin, so he took this opportunity to compensate Zhong Qinghan as well. ”
Emperor Xia also planned to seal her fief in Xiliang, but all the civil and military officials objected, saying that the princess with a different surname was already overdue, and how could she be sealed in the place of origin. In desperation, in the end, Emperor Xia had to change the seal to Donghai County, so that all the officials of the imperial court agreed. ”
Su Ziheng touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "In this way, this Zhong Qinghan is still a potential stock." If you can make friends with her, and then go back to her back cover, wouldn't you be able to be a free little scholar under 10,000 people. ”
Just now, Su Ziheng and Ji Xiaoxiao were talking in a low voice, except for the people in their carriage, Zhong Qinghan himself couldn't hear clearly.
"But then again, little girl, how do you know all this so well?"
Ji Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that he seemed to be talking too much. Since that battle three years ago, the Mengyuan Empire has listed Zhong Qinghan in the top ten lists of assassinations.
Naturally, she will inquire about all her news clearly, Ji Xiaoxiao is the princess of Yongning of Mengyuan, and she went to Xiliang to carry out a secret mission in person, and it is not surprising that she has read Zhong Qinghan's information.
It's just that what makes her quite depressed is that she has been in Xining for a long time, and she has never found a chance to attack Zhong Qinghan. The main reason is that the guards around Zhong Qinghan are too powerful, especially her personal maid Lianfeng, who is said to have won the true legend of Guigu, and her martial arts are extraordinary, and she can be among the first-class masters in the rivers and lakes.
Ji Xiaoxiao just wanted to find an excuse to explain, but suddenly heard Su Ziheng muttering to himself: "This Qinglou is really a well-informed place, it seems that you can't ignore these places when collecting intelligence in the future." ”
Ji Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded, since Su Ziheng guessed like this, she didn't bother to say more, so as not to arouse his suspicion again.
Su Ziheng leaned out and asked loudly, "Miss Qinghan, do we have to stop and wait for Miss Mercy?" ”
Zhong Qinghan said indifferently: "No need, Lianfeng knows where we are going, and she can catch up on her own later." ”
Su Ziheng nodded and said, "Since this is the case, let's speed up a little faster and strive to go early and return early." ”
"Everything is up to the child."
……
……
On the other side of the hill, in the backdrop of the sun, this is a more hidden valley. A team of 100 men stood silently, led by a general on a tall black horse, dressed in black armor, with a fiery red cloak draped over his shoulders, and a silver spear in his hand.
The sergeants behind him were also black horses under their hips, with black clothes and armor, but there was no cloak behind them, and they held the ring-headed knife in their hands. It is a meter long, and it can be tightly fastened with the ring armor on the arm to form a conjoined body, and it cannot be taken off at all without cutting off the arm of the cavalry.
The atmosphere in the valley was solemn, they were like ghosts in the night, they did not make any sound, even the horses under their crotches were silent and did not make a sound at all.
If there were a sergeant who had joined the Mengxi coalition army three years ago, he would definitely recognize this at a glance as the black crow army that terrified the Mengxi coalition army.
