Chapter Forty-Six: Special Envoys, Five Hundred Veterans
Fang Yun has been by her side day and night since that day, his grandmother in this world is the only person who is good to him except Fang Yi, that kind of care and love without asking for anything in return, this is definitely undoubted, the old man's time is short, he can see it at a glance, I don't know if Fang Yun is here, the old man knows that his grandson is here, and now his spirit is much better. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
But anyone can see that this is a return to the light, the newly exchanged eunuch, the palace maid, Fang Yun has not used it much, almost except for the old man taking a bath, he is all with him, talking, beating his legs, pressing his shoulder, he knows that in the old man's only remaining time, he can only do this.
At night, when Fang Yun couldn't sleep steadily, he would take a blanket and sit on the ground, leaning his head on the side of the old man's bed, and often meditate all night.
But after all, she still couldn't stop the will of heaven, she walked very peacefully at that time, after the old man coughed a few times, Fang Yun heard it, he immediately rushed to the bedside, helped the old man sit up, as if he had sensed, she held Fang Yun's hand tightly: "Grandson, if you really find a daughter-in-law in the future, don't be like your father, remember to be kind to others, don't be so indifferent, you only know how to fight." ”
"I know, grandmother, I'm going to treat her well." Fang Yun nodded, and used his hand to help him smooth his back and smooth his breath.
"That's good, that's good..... grandson, you remember, you can have three wives and six concubines, but your woman can't, she will only have you, don't forget her, don't forget that there is a woman at home who thinks about you, as for your father's bastard, I'...... So go down and wait for him. The old man's voice was originally very kind, but when he thought of Fang Yi, his voice became a lot louder, and as a result, he coughed, no matter how Fang Yun used his true qi, it didn't get better, gradually, the old man lost his breath, his eyes were closed, and the corners of his mouth were a little steady, Fang Yun didn't cry anymore, he just thought about it a lot.
I don't know if the sky feels something, Bianjingcheng, who has been in drought for a long time, lightning and thunder, the originally clear sky, suddenly became cloudy, Fang Yun held the old man's hand, motionless, until the next day, the imperial doctor braved the wind and rain to check by day, only to find that the old man had passed away, Yan Wang Shizi's eyes were bloodshot, just looking back at him, he almost scared him half to death.
When the old man was buried, it was very beautiful, I heard that it was not a few tens of meters away from the old emperor, although Fang Yun didn't have a good impression of this old emperor, that is, his grandfather, but it was still good for his grandmother to live with him, if possible, there would be a care below.
Fang Yun lived in the harem for many days, but no one dared to spread rumors, and the only ones were all let him be killed, as for the outside of the imperial city, there was no rumor, after all, it was the harem of the emperor Lao Tzu, so no one talked nonsense, and no one knew if the saint would be angry because of this.
"Holy Lord, I plan to leave the palace." Fang Yun had the right to enter the palace at will, but when it was time to leave, he still came to the imperial study to say hello to him, because this was etiquette, the etiquette between his nephew and uncle.
Fang Sheng put down the fold in his hand and frowned slightly, this year is another disaster year, the south is flooded and the north is drought, the south of the Yangtze River is rainy and rainy, it lasts for more than half a month, many fields have been soaked in water for I don't know how long, as for the Yangtze .......River, he doesn't want to think about it, he must be fighting floods and disasters again, and here in Bianjing, since Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain came, it rained in the opening of the altar, and then it was yesterday this time, although the rain area was not small, but the time was too short, and the rainfall was not enough.
Silver, silver again, how can there be so much silver in the treasury, the snowflakes are like twists and turns all day long is that there is a shortage of silver here, and silver is also needed everywhere, so that he forgot Fang Yun standing in front of him at this time.
The emperor was a little impatient, and just wanted to wave his hand to let him go, and said in his heart that he should go home quickly, but as soon as his head turned, he came up with a good idea: "You officials, aren't you greedy silver, then I will send Fang Yun to you as a special envoy for disaster relief." ”
As for whether Fang Yun will be greedy for silver, Fang Sheng is not too worried, there is a lot of silver in Yanwangfu, and recently he has controlled one-third of the refined salt sales in Jiangnan, and there are so many twists and turns for silver, there is no Zhejiang fold, although the imperial court should not be in charge of the affairs in the fiefdom, but this is a natural disaster, the Yanwang Mansion seems to have expected it, and has begun to carry out disaster relief operations, porridge shops have opened nearly 100 places outside Hangzhou, and all the refugees have been isolated, and after everyone washes it, they drink a bowl of Chinese medicine to live outside the city. Newly built simple houses, but such an advantage is to avoid contagion and plague.
The most important thing is that at this time in previous years, when many merchants made money, they raised the price of grain, and each load of grain directly increased by four or five times, or even more times, but under the order of King Yan, many Yanyun soldiers rushed directly into the homes of these merchants, without saying a word of discussion, they killed seven in a row, and hundreds of heads fell to the ground, they are all the most ruthless grain merchants, and some of them are century-old merchants.
This frightened the grain merchants in Hangzhou.
But those who were not killed, there are also some people who are not used to seeing King Yan so tough, and plan to secretly publicize how cruel King Yan is, as a result, a large number of storytellers, street vendors have helped King Yan to do publicity, peddlers and pawns, everything, this routine makes people a little confused, as a result, the wealth of the seven families was confiscated, and there was no splash in Hangzhou City, this method is too weird, how dare anyone talk nonsense, the whole Zhejiang is like this, falling back to the former grain price, I have to say that Yan Wangfu has control over Zhejiang, It's much stronger than him, the emperor.
These methods are not secretive, but they have not spread, Fang Sheng can easily know, but if there is a disaster year near Bianjing, the food in the city will rise uncontrollably, but Fang Sheng is really powerless, for these big grain merchants, some of them are even related to the royal family, they really don't know how to start, and they don't dare to kill people indiscriminately.
In the past, King Yan just kept killing and killing in Yanyun, and when he came to Hangzhou, Zhejiang, he suddenly had a big change, and many people couldn't understand it, did he feel that there were too many sins on his body, and he planned to save more mud legs? Accumulate virtue for children and grandchildren? This is what the vast majority of people think.
No one knew that it was Fang Yun who had made a set of plans early because of Fahai's reminder, and before leaving, he also told Fang Yi that there was always a possibility that there would always be, and Fang Yun had also said about the method of killing people and reducing prices, but he didn't expect Fang Yi to do it so thoroughly, but although it was not good-looking, after all, he stopped the rise in food prices, and he could still receive a lot of silver, thinking that his father would laugh for a long time.
The various practices of the Yan Wangfu made the emperor feel that the Yan King really no longer looked forward to the throne, after all, his killing method definitely offended a lot of families, the emperor was right, but what Fang Yun thought was that he won the hearts of many people, water can carry a boat and also overturn a boat, every force that wanted to rise in ancient times always thought about the need for the support of the family, this is true, but the most fundamental thing is that there are thousands of ordinary people, the reason why they need the family, one is silver, and the other is the need for management personnel, but the interesting thing is that Yan Wangfu is the most lacking now, These are the two.
In the past, there was no shortage of people in Yanwangfu, but there was always not enough silver, and so were resources, but when I came to Zhejiang, it seemed that everything was not a problem, so I was short of manpower.
"Yun'er is going to leave the palace?" The Emperor feigned surprise.
Fang Yun was stunned for a moment, but still nodded.
"It's okay to go home, but I have a holy decree that I want to give to you, do you want to do this on my behalf?" Fang Sheng had a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Although he didn't know what this holy decree was, Fang Yun could only agree when he bent down.
Fang Sheng waved his hand to let him get up: "You are my nephew, there are not so many courtesies, the rain in Jiangnan this year is too big, there are hundreds of thousands of refugees, Zhejiang Hangzhou is doing well, your father, is really calming down and doing things for the people, but what I am most afraid of is the north of Hangzhou, near Jiangning by the Yangtze River, if the disaster relief there is not good enough, too many people will die after all, I want you to be a special envoy and take the silver to the disaster relief, do you understand?" ”
Fang Yun instinctively frowned, but the emperor was not unhappy, everyone knew this job, it was not flattering at all, the emperor asked him to go, that is, let these officials not be deducted layer by layer, otherwise when they arrived in Jiangning, there would be nothing left.
Although Fang Yun wanted to do these things from the bottom of his heart, he was really a little embarrassed, it wasn't that he was afraid of causing trouble, after all, he was in a lot of trouble, and he wasn't afraid of lining up, but he didn't have anyone in his hands now, how could he dare to go to it.
"Say what you think." Fang Sheng was a little impatient after all, this nephew killed a bunch of them yesterday, the gossip eunuch palace maid, she was so bold, she angered many harem concubines, and she even ran to him to complain, she didn't care about this, why is she so timid now.
"The nephew only wants to know what rights the saint can give to the nephew, after all, only by virtue of the nephew's identity, in front of a lot of silver, he can't scare anyone, but if the nephew has the power in his hands, and there are people below, I dare to promise that all the silver will be exchanged for food and put it into the hands of the people." Fang Yun raised his head, either Lao Tzu was afraid, or he was afraid that you would not give power, and you would have a nephew, would you be embarrassed not to give it?
Fang Sheng was stunned, then shook his head and smiled: "What do you think you are afraid of, you don't have to report to the court for officials below the third grade, you can kill them directly, but everyone you kill must have evidence and physical evidence to ensure that he has enough evidence for the death penalty." ”
"That's a damn lot...."His Royal Highness, who lowered his head, couldn't help but mutter.
Fang Sheng's face remained a little unchanged, but he was still embarrassed in his heart: "As for the people you want, recently a lot of elites from Yanyun Iron Cavalry were added to the Imperial City Forbidden Army, but they didn't obey the discipline and had a very stiff quarrel with the Imperial City Forbidden Army, so you can take them away." ”
"Give it to me? Or borrow mine? Fang Yun's eyes lit up, although he had the three thousand guards of the White Horse Yunqi, it was a pity that he didn't have any command, and it was all in his hands.
"If you do well, I will give it to you, and if you do badly, I will lend you."
"Deal, Shengshang is waiting for the good news from his nephew, but there must be a lot of heads under his nephew."
"Don't kill indiscriminately, it's not easy for me to sit in this position, there are too many aspects, I need to take care of them, you go, put away the holy decree, go and meet those Yanyun veterans, it shouldn't be too difficult for them to listen to you, right? Then you have been living in Hua Yunfei's house recently, and a eunuch will contact you in a few days, and then you will go with Wang Qiming, the household servant. The Emperor pressed his temples and thought about them all day, and his brain cells did not know how many had died.
"Minister, obey the order." Fang Yun accepted the holy decree and left with a smile.
Fang Sheng squinted his eyes and watched this nephew walk away, Tong Song walked out from behind him again, serving tea and pouring water.
Fang Yun, who had a cheerful expression on his face, his eyes were cold at this time, he could accept this holy decree or not, and the emperor would not embarrass him, but if he didn't accept it, the emperor would definitely think that King Yan was not really doing things for the royal family at this moment, and he was afraid of making enemies everywhere, so he didn't do this kind of drudgery.
But Fang Yun thought about it for a long time, this enemy is nothing, basically they are all Qianyang officials, the civil official system is rotten to the root, not to mention whether Yan Wangfu is afraid or not, he himself doesn't care about this enemy.
Although I don't know what his father thinks, whether he has the intention of mutiny, but he can't be so fucked up, he is afraid of the enemy, so he will disrupt the whole plan of his family, if so, when the time comes, there will be no place to cry.
In the southeast of the imperial city, there is a martial arts field, but there is a military camp next to it, and many forbidden troops in the imperial city live here day and night, fortunately, the place is large enough, at least it is enough to place the forbidden troops in the imperial city.
The Imperial City Forbidden Army in Qianyang can have 10,000 people, distributed throughout the city wall, ensuring that no martial arts master can turn it over, and it also guards the current day.
His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, who was dressed in a python robe, walked over, and after all, he still attracted the attention of many forbidden soldiers.
Before he could get too close, a lieutenant ran over, his eyes lit up: "Is Your Highness looking for someone?" ”
"Well, that's the will of God." Fang Yun gave it to him, how dare the captain accept it, but he still took it to the barracks, and soon after, a partial general came, looked at the holy decree in Fang Yun's hand, nodded, and led him away with a look of surprise.
To say that the forbidden army in Qianyang is not useless, at least the forbidden army in the imperial city, Fang Yun looks quite good, not so lazy, the overall image is quite standard, but he has never seen blood, and the murderous spirit is too little.
When he arrived at the second barracks, Fang Yun felt the breath of Yanyun's veterans, he took a closer look, there were many soldiers, there were hundreds of people in the camp, and there were still people who were bare and broke their wrists, fortunately, although it was an imperial city, there were no women in this barracks who could come here, so there was no need to worry too much.
"That's it, Your Highness, you take them away, I can be considered worry-free, it stands to reason that five hundred people came here, it should be me with me, but it's a pity that these people are extremely grouped, and I am reluctant to separate them, otherwise the combat power will definitely be reduced a lot, but if you don't disassemble them, one by one will not obey the discipline, there is really nothing to do." With this sad face, Fang Yun couldn't help but laugh.
Finding that there were people here, the veterans of Yanyun, who were extremely grouped, stood up and looked here, there were not many of them, and if they didn't hold a group, they would have to let the forbidden army bully them to death.
"Your Highness?" Someone wiped their eyes and found that it was right!
"Damn, this little bastard is scary in this dress." I don't know who scolded loudly, and some people laughed, but the voice quickly drowned out in the sea of people.
"Will Your Highness take us home?" Many people shouted, don't care if Fang Yun is the little overlord of Yanyun's sixteen states, at least he has never bullied these veterans, and he has never used the power in his hands to scare anyone, at this moment, they are inside the imperial city, and they have met the former prince of Yanwang, not to mention how happy they are.
Fang Yun didn't expect so many people to see him, but think about it, after defeating Yanjing, he also held a celebration meeting, as a prince, he also participated, not to mention that he had been to the military camp a few times when he had nothing to do, he looked so handsome, and he had such a status, and anyone who used a little bit of snacks would remember his appearance.
