Chapter 32: Your Seal Hall Is Black
"How can this be good?" Wang Lin looked worried.
Happy but said with a smile: "Uncle doesn't need to worry too much, the little nephew had expected it before he came, and he also had some plans in his heart, but he still needs his uncle's help!" β
When Wang Lin heard this, his spirits perked up, and he looked at him sincerely and firmly, and said in a deep voice: "Just say it, Wang Lin will definitely help you!" β
happily said: "According to the little nephew, my father's official of Xuyi's internal history has not been done for a long time, and the title of the marquis is also a disaster. β
"Thisβ" Wang Lin hesitated, his face full of surprise and regret. Although he also has a prince and a high-ranking official, he can't get the emperor's trust and is depressed, but his situation is much better than Gao Changgong's. Wang Lin is an outsider, for the imperial power of the Northern Qi Dynasty, he can't shake the foundation of the regime, but Gao Changgong is different, as a royal family, he is not only quite talented but also famous, and he is a great threat to Gao Wei.
Happy sighed helplessly, and said: "There is no other way to do this, unless ......" Happy self-deprecating smiled and said: "Don't say that my father has no intention, even if we have a heart, we are powerless!" β
Wang Lin was suddenly startled, looked out of the door vigilantly, and was relieved when he didn't see the hearts of his people, although he didn't say it, but Wang Lin has been rolling in the political circle for so many years, how can he still not hear the meaning behind the word "unless" in happiness.
In today's era of the supremacy of imperial power, when the monarch wants his ministers to die and the ministers have to die, if Gao Changgong wants to completely get rid of the knife hanging above Gao Wei's head at all times, he can only kill Gao Wei and become the emperor himself, which is a rebellion.
After Xing Xing finished speaking, he looked at Wang Lin quietly, and after the latter's face changed for a while, he regained his composure and looked at Xing Xing quietly.
Wang Lin wanted to see something from the happy eyes, but to his regret, the happy eyes were as calm as water, as deep as a cold pool, and those dark and bright eyes revealed the vicissitudes of countless ups and downs, which was quite incommensurate with his young face.
The two looked at each other quietly for a moment, then suddenly smiled strangely, turned their heads to the outside of the court, looked at the starry night sky, and said: "My father has always loved the people, and it is the hundreds of thousands of people in Xuyi who can't rest assured. If my father leaves Xuyi, the people of Xuyi will bother my uncle to take care of it! β
Wang Lin assured: "The virtuous nephew can rest assured. After speaking, Wang Lin smiled again and said: "The virtuous nephew also has a lot of hearts, and the court may reward the prince for this!" β
Happy tugging at the corners of his mouth, there were no words, Wang Lin himself knew that this possibility was extremely small.
sighed and said happily: "Uncle, it's not too early, and the little nephew should go back, thank you for your hospitality!" After happily clasping his fists and saluting goodbye, he slowly walked out of the hall.
As soon as he went out, he suddenly stopped happily, turned to Wang Lin and said, "Uncle, if one day, there is an opportunity to attack Jiankang City, I hope you don't miss it!" β
Wang Lin was stunned for a moment, but he was happy but he had already strode away, but his meaningful smile and eyes were deeply imprinted in Wang Lin's mind.
Early the next morning, he said goodbye to Wang Lin happily, and the class teacher returned to Xuyi City. The people in Yangping City were sent to each other by the road until several miles outside the city.
The Battle of Yangping, which lasted for three months, ended in the defeat of Huang Fa's army. Although Qi won in the end, it was only a miserable victory. The Qi army that followed Wei Pohu to aid Qinzhou was almost completely lost, and Qinzhou was not able to be retained, and was included in the territory of Chen State. Yangping City was even more destroyed, more than two-thirds of the city's supplies were consumed, half of the buildings were destroyed because of the war, and more than 50,000 soldiers and civilians were killed and wounded.
At noon on the second day after the siege of Yangping was lifted, the king of Huaizhou led 10,000 soldiers to arrive belatedly, with great fanfare, intending to help Yangping. At this time, Huang Fayan had already been defeated and fled south, and Wang Xiangui came just to steal the fruits of victory. Wang Xiangui stopped in Yangping City for half a moon with high spirits, showing off his martial arts everywhere, which made Wang Lin very uncomfortable.
However, Wang Xiangui is not in vain, after all, Yangping City has been dilapidated, if Chen * army quickly reorganized the army to attack, I am afraid that it can be taken, with Wang Xiangui's 10,000 soldiers to deter, Wang Lin can rest the city wall quickly with peace of mind, and recruit good training soldiers. Because of this, Wang Lin didn't say much.
It took only two days for Gao Xing and his entourage to return to Xuyi City, and after instructing Shang Bu to arrange for the soldiers to rest, Xing Xing hurried home.
After three months of development, Xuyi City has become much more lively. Although Chen's army was close at hand, the people did not have much to worry about, and with the brave and powerful King Lanling in charge, they did not need to worry at all.
What's more, the king of Lanling is generous and benevolent, and loves the people like a son. Xuyi County is taxed according to the field, and the tax is very low in the country. The unscrupulous landlords and squires in the city did not dare to cause more trouble since they were severely oppressed and beaten by Gao Changgong, which made all the poor people applaud. There are now many handicraft workshops in the city, and where there is little land, women can go and help with the work, and the wages are reasonable enough to support the family.
In three months, Xuyi City's exquisite and comfortable wooden furniture was sold all over the country. Countless palace nobles, wealthy merchants and magnates are vying to buy. With the happy improvement of the loom, the output of Xuyi cloth has doubled and the quality is high, which has also attracted countless merchants to come to Xuyi, making this small city on the front line very prosperous.
Happy walking on the street, looking at the curling smoke in the sunset, the satisfied smiles of passers-by, and the innocent laughter of children, my heart is full of joy and warmth. This is the result of his three months of hard work with Gao Changgong, and he hopes that such laughter will appear on the faces of everyone in the land of China, and hopes that this era of suffering will end sooner.
It's just that Yangping's victory inevitably touched Gao Wei's sensitive nerves, and I don't know what kind of disaster awaits that peerless beautiful man with a tragic and tragic fate.
He sighed happily and continued to walk home, suddenly feeling a little heavy in his heart.
"This little brother, please stay!" The voice of a middle-aged man with a gentle and magnetic surname sounded.
Happy stopped, turned his head, and looked at the person who spoke in surprise.
This person was about forty years old, and he was dressed in a wide and simple cyan robe, which made his long figure more and more erect. This person has sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a wide mouth and a nose, a white skin, warm as a cloud, and a warm smile on his face, which makes people feel close. His three-foot long beard under his chin is black and shiny, fluttering, with a floating dust in his right hand, and the Taoist bun on his head is quite a bit of a fairy wind and bones.
happily clenched his fists and said suspiciously: "Sir, but you called me?" β
He smiled and nodded, "You can hear it, it's you." β
Xing Xing frowned and said, "I don't know what Mr. has to say?" β
The Taoist priest stepped forward, shook the dust in his hand, looked up and down with joy, and muttered to himself while having a large number of them, but his keen six senses could not hear what he was saying.
After a while, the Taoist priest stopped talking to himself, straightened his body suddenly, and exclaimed: "It's broken!" β
Joy was inexplicable to him, and at this time he was taken aback by his sudden change. Just as he was about to open his mouth to inquire, the Taoist priest said: "Little brother, the poor Taoist temple is blackened, it seems that it is bad luck, and I am afraid that there will be a bloody disaster!" Thankfully, you've met the poor ......."
When I heard this, I felt a little angry in my heart, and directly interrupted him: "Do you want to say that I am fortunate to have met you to resolve my bad luck?" β
The Taoist priest looked at him happily in surprise and exclaimed: "The little brother is really smart, the poor Taoist just understands you when he says it, and he is really not an ordinary person!" β
Happy waved his hand impatiently and said: "Okay, your tricks of deception have long been outdated, remember to innovate next time." I don't have time to ink with you, so I'm going home! "I was happy to finish talking and left, but I didn't expect that the street fortune-telling tricks in later generations were passed down from this time.
"Little brother stays!" The Taoist priest was confused and called out behind him.
"Here you go, take it!" Happy didn't look back, and gently threw a silver ingot back.
