Chapter 253 Coercing Public Opinion to Order the King of Wei [II]

"So what do you mean, sir?" Zhao Yu lowered his head and asked in a complicated tone.

Gongsun Xuan smiled and said, "The prince should not think that the poor Dao will suggest that the prince will kill the ring, right?" Although the people are like this, the princes in the court will not let go of the prince! And it's not easy to deal with these big households! ”

"How easy is it?" Zhao Yu asked suspiciously, "What could be more important than dealing with this king?" ”

"Anhua Barbarian Dragon Water City!" Gongsun Xuan's eyes were cold, and he said indifferently. "In this way, these big families don't dare to make trouble, after all, no matter how much the prince makes trouble, he won't kill anyone, but those Anhua people will do this! And giving up Longshui City is actually a means of advancing and retreating. Occupying Longshui City, which is like a world of flowers and flowers for Anhuaman, are they still willing to return to live in the original deep mountains and old forests? When the time comes, as soon as the army surrounds Longshui City, it is not a matter of time before the pacification and pacification are barbaric! ”

Zhao Yu was silent, and after half a sound, he shook his head and said: "Sir, go down, let this king alone, quietly, well, and think about this strategy." ”

Gongsun Xuanxu didn't force each other, nodded, and said, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, the poor Dao has retired first!" ”

Although Gongsun Xuanxu was gone, Zhao Yu, who stayed in Jingde Hall, was restless, and reason told him that although Gongsun Xuanxu was a little cruel in doing so, sacrificing Longshui City and the people inside who had no time to evacuate. In exchange for the war, transfer the current contradictions on Guangnan West Road, and wait for their own victory, even if those big families have grievances, they have to suppress them, and great things can be done!

Is it just that I can pass the level of conscience?

Zhao Yu let out a long breath. Walk out of Jingde Hall. It didn't take long to run into Feng Shenji, who was working. Zhao Yu's heart moved. shouted to Feng Shenji: "Qi Xian, come out!" ”

The benefactor has a life, Feng Shenji naturally left all official duties, walked up in a hurry, and asked, "Lord Wang, I don't know what your subordinates have to order?" ”

Zhao Yu smiled: "I want to ask you about something, come!" Go to a quieter place, just go to the pavilion on the side! ”

The pavilion was built to allow officials to rest on their idle business. But now the entire yamen, probably Zhao Yu, is still free. Everyone else was so busy that their feet barely touched the ground, and they couldn't wait to learn Sun Wukong's doppelganger technique, so there were no idlers in the pavilion this time.

The cool breeze blows, and in this late autumn day, it is drowsy.

"It's a good day!" A faint smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Yu's mouth, and he leaned on the railing.

Feng Shenji echoed with a smile: "What the prince said is that if there is a pot of fragrant tea and a long rattan chair at this time, it is really a happy thing for the gods!" ”

Zhao Yu said with regret: "It's a pity that too many things have to happen in these days!" ”

There was a pause. Zhao Yu smiled: "Sentimental! Isn't this autumn eventful? It's normal to have something going on now! ”

Feng Shenji said: "Lord Wang." Although it is an eventful season, it is also because of the prince's great strength! This autumn, it's really smooth and steady, I'm afraid that the prince is not down-to-earth in his heart! ”

Stunned, Zhao Yu smiled dumbly and said, "There is still your set!" ”

Feng Shenji said confidently: "That's nature!" ”

Zhao Yu nodded thoughtfully, thought for a while, and said: "The big households in Guizhou, Xiangzhou, Yizhou and other seven states are preparing to make a petition for the people and send the letter to the people. Have you heard of this, Qi Xian? ”

"I've heard a little about it today, but I don't know that these big households will be so united, and they actually mobilized the big households in seven states, which is amazing!" Feng Shenji's face became a little solemn.

"Lord Wang!" A greeting rang out from outside the pavilion.

Zhao Yu turned his head to look over, it was Liu Changan.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Yu turned around, looked at Liu Changan, and asked from afar.

Liu Changan obviously ran a short distance and was a little out of breath. walked up to Zhao Yu, lowered his voice and said: "It's a matter of big families in tandem, didn't the prince ask the lower officials to find out how many people went to Guizhou to petition?" ”

Zhao Yu glanced at Feng Shenji, who was pretending to look at the scenery from the side, and said, "Say it!" There are no distrustful people here either! ”

When Feng Shenji heard Zhao Yu's words, he was overjoyed, and immediately turned around and stood with a smile.

Liu Changan lowered his head, his eyes revealing a bit of jealousy. "Yes, my lord! At present, the people who have signed in various prefectures and counties and said that although the number of people who have gone to Guizhou to petition has not yet stabilized, it is estimated that there are no less than 4,000 people, and there will certainly be no less than 10,000 people who will eventually come to Guizhou to petition. Some officials boldly estimated that 30,000 people would come to petition! ”

Feng Shenji listened to it on the side, and couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise, and his mouth opened slightly. The population of the entire Guangnan West Road is only 200,000 households! A family is about four, which means that the total population of Quang Nam West Road is only 800,000! Nearly half of the people came to petition!

It must be known that after signing, they still came to petition, that is to say, the number of people who signed is afraid that the number of people who came to petition is doubled! I'm afraid it's not the book of the people, it's possible for 100,000 people!

When Zhao Yu heard the news, he was not frightened, but frowned slightly, and said, "Well, this king knows, you go down!" ”

"Yes!" Liu Changan promised and retreated.

Zhao Yu looked at Feng Shenji, Feng Shenji was quite clever, and hurriedly cleaned up his stunned expression. "What does Qi Xian think about this?"

"Send someone to post the list immediately, all these people want is to rescue these officials, and we can display the evidence of these officials." Feng Shenji said.

Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's useless!" ”

Feng Shenji nodded strangely: "Indeed! ”

Zhao Yu glanced at Feng Shenji in surprise and said, "What is the purpose of Qi Xian's words just now?" ”

Feng Shenji said confidently: "The government can't do nothing, send troops to disperse, then it's even worse!" Just like King Zhou Li in the Western Zhou Dynasty, extravagance and debauchery caused the resentment of the people to boil. King Zhou Li did not want to improve, but forbade the people to discuss, sent people to monitor the people, and once there was a discussion, they were arrested and killed, causing the people to dare not greet each other even if they met, but only signaled with their eyes. This eventually led to the later Chinese riots. King Li of Zhou fled to a remote city, died of poverty and illness, and the crown prince was almost killed by the countrymen. With this lesson from the past, how can the prince do this thing that the enemy is quick and the relatives are painful? ”

After a pause, Feng Shenji continued: "And posting the list is undoubtedly the best choice, although it has no effect, it can be used as a foreshadowing, and secondly, it will not arouse too much public anger." ”

Speaking of this, Feng Shenji smiled bitterly: "Actually, Lord Wang, the people may not know what these corrupt officials do, but sometimes, they are helpless!" ”

Zhao Yu was surprised: "Why is it helpless? ”

Feng Shenji showed a hesitant look on his face, and after half a sound, he gritted his teeth and said: "This is a matter of Guangnan West Road that Xia Guan has heard of, so let the prince listen to it as a story!" ”

Zhao Yu glanced at Feng Shenji deeply and bowed slightly.

Feng Shenji walked to the railing, took a deep breath, and said: "This is a matter that happened in a remote small county, where there is a well-known greedy official who serves as the head of the local household case, but because he knows the trust of the county very well, he is also known as Xiaozhi County. The local people said that mosquitoes could give the greedy man three points of meat. The bark of the tree can be squeezed out of three coins of oil. ”

And the reason why this greedy official was able to become a clerk was because he spent thousands of dollars, so he naturally wanted to find this money from the people, and even make a large profit. The local people were overwhelmed, and a young man risked his life to collect evidence of the corruption of this corrupt official, and after going through many hardships, he came to Bianliang City alone! ”

"What a strong man!" Zhao Yu couldn't help but praise. Speaking of ancient times, even in modern times, it is not 100% safe to travel alone, not to mention that the power of the Song Dynasty government is basically in the county seat, and there are no known number of cut path bandits in the wild.

Feng Shenji smiled bitterly and said, "The matter is ...... That's it! The prince listens to what the lower officials say! ”

Zhao Yu asked: "But there are people in the DPRK who do not distinguish between right and wrong, black and white?" ”

Feng Shenji shook his head and said, "After the young man arrived in Bianliang, he immediately succeeded in suing, and the official was demoted because he didn't know anyone, embezzled and took bribes, and the official was also ordered to be demoted to Qiongzhou. But what you didn't expect was that the local people were all out of the city to keep this official and official! To leave their boots behind! ”

Leave the boots, this is the level of the Blue Sky Lord.

Zhao Yu was surprised: "How can this be? ”

Feng Shenji let out a long sigh and said with difficulty: "Because the new magistrate has sold the head of the household case again, and the new official is naturally indispensable to send all kinds of gifts, which is much worse than the former magistrate who has already had such a county!" ”

Zhao Yu didn't know what to say.

Feng Shenji said with melancholy: "The young man is also scared and has left his hometown. ”

"Is it there?" Zhao Yu gritted his teeth with hatred, looked at Feng Shenji and said.

Feng Shenji shook his head and said, "I don't know, I just heard about it, maybe there are a lot of exaggerations!" ”

Although Feng Shenji said this, Zhao Yu understood what Feng Shenji meant, such things are everywhere on Guangnan West Road, but more or less!

Just thinking about it carefully, Zhao Yu understood a little. The officials who came to Guangnan West Road were either degraded or had no backers behind them. The former will inevitably give up on themselves, and the latter will either make a fortune for the elderly, or pay tribute to the officials in order to make a fortune, so that they can be transferred to a good place.

At the same time, as the southernmost and closed place of the Northern Song Dynasty, it is difficult for such a thing to spread to the imperial court, and perhaps the ministers in the imperial court also know something, but they don't have the heart to pay attention to it. After all, Hangzhou and other rich areas in the south of the Yangtze River have not yet been fully developed! With this energy, it is better to develop some of the rich places in the south of the Yangtze River in Hangzhou.

"What a desperate story!" Zhao Yu looked into the distance with deep eyes and was silent for a long time. (To be continued......)
