The largest and most luxurious mansion in Jingzhou City, in the Xu Mansion. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the back garden, Old Man Xu was carefully fiddling with a few pots of flowers and plants, originally he didn't like these, but since those things in May, he has fallen in love with these flowers and plants. In the eyes of the sons of Jingzhou City, the old man is about to start his old age.

In fact, he just wants to cultivate his temperament by serving these flowers and plants, and he doesn't see the juniors stirring up the beams, so how can he rest. Hearing the faint sound of quarrels outside, Xu Beiqing sighed lightly, he knew that he had given the position of the Standing Committee of the Fuxing Yamen to the eldest grandson Xu Qianshan, which made several unsuccessful sons very dissatisfied, and they didn't dare to make trouble in front of him, so they made things difficult for Qianshan all day long for no reason.

In order to let his eldest grandson grow up as soon as possible and take over the burden of the Xu family, the old man hardened his heart, hid in the flowers and plants, and coldly watched the clown-like performances of several sons. What made him happy was that although Qianshan was young, he was young and old, not arrogant or impatient, and did not quarrel with a few bastard uncles, which ruined the face of the Xu family. He never gave in to their unreasonable demands, harming the interests of the public school, and indeed had a bit of a foreign and authoritative bearing, even Xu Tancheng did not do this step when he was twenty years old.

But today he heard Xu Qianshan's angry voice: "No, absolutely not!" I won't agree to anything! ”

The old man chuckled silently, whether he was angry or angry, he was tepid at only twenty, like a little old man. Although Xu Beiqing hid himself in the flowers and plants, he did not relax his attention to the outside world for a moment, but because he jumped out of the complicated daily affairs, he had more time to think and see things more transparently.

Everything has to start with the prince who is calling for wind and rain in the south, since he led the troops to the north to quell the chaos, the good news is one after another, today to recover Yiling Mansion, tomorrow to recover Dangyang Mansion, and in a blink of an eye, the siege of Xiangyang Lake Water Division has been relieved, and in a few days, the Maitreya rebels will be surrounded in the Xiangfan area, and the rebellion is just around the corner.

Those days were indeed like a dream, with good news one after another, often just pasted here, and arrived there, and the entire Jingzhou Mansion was immersed in a festive and exciting atmosphere. Under the financing of the revival yamen, those who have money have donated money and materials, and those who have no money have made efforts to join the people's team and transport grain and materials to the front line, but they want to let the soldiers of the Zhennan Army eat well and recover the whole territory as soon as possible.

There was a sense of hope, an unprecedented hope, and as the war progressed, people were talking loudly about what would happen after the war and what the future would be, and as the war went on, this expectation became even more urgent.

And all this is because that man painted an infinitely beautiful future for everyone. He said that by that time, the rich south would be a voice, and no one would dare to bully her again, and at that time, all the gate valve families would be able to raise their heads in Great Qin, and they would not have to feel inferior to the north, and they would not have to worry about their things being robbed.

He said that at that time, the beautiful south will be a paradise for the people, and as long as you work hard, you will definitely have clothing, food, and shelter, and then you will no longer have to worry about robbers breaking into your home and taking away everything you have pitied.

He also said that by that time, the south will go out of the south under his leadership and go to Shenzhou, and even places outside Shenzhou; At that time, the gentry of the south will have attained supreme glory, endless wealth, and a higher status, and the common people of the south will be able to live a better life and even become the gentry of the future.

Everyone was intoxicated by the dreams he had compiled, and everyone was enthusiastic and eager to do it immediately. Therefore, the revival yamen said, let's go home, go to harvest summer grain, grab summer ploughing,

Although it is not peaceful there, only when you go back will it not become a banditry. The refugees packed up their few belongings and followed the gentry of their respective prefectures and counties back.

Therefore, the revival yamen said that the people needed to recuperate, and asked all the gentry to be free of rent this year, and when it was halved in the next two years, the gentry agreed after being silent. Although originally they wanted to collect more rent to make up for some losses.

Therefore, the Fuxing Yamen said that we will provide the people of the whole province with farm tools, seeds, and 500,000 ploughing cattle free of charge......

This kind of scene that has never been seen before in history is played out in the hot land of the south, and everyone is immersed in it, willing to eat, and fascinated.

This kind of hope and confidence reached its peak at the moment when Qin Lei Immortal possessed his body, triggered the Heavenly Thunder and Heavenly Fire, broke Xiangyang City, and thus recovered the entire southern territory. People's confidence in the future is unprecedentedly high, and it is said that there is a door valve that has not caught up with the bidding meeting, and it is said that there are still discussions. You must know that at the original bidding meeting, 17,500 taels had one right to speak, and five rights to speak, that is, 87,500 taels, was a deliberative qualification. In less than two months, the price has risen more than ten times, and there is still no market.

If it was in the past, Old Man Xu would only be amazed by the spells of this young prince, but would not delve into the inside. But now he understands that there is no other reason than the word 'hope'. King Long appeared when everyone was disappointed and helpless, and he drew a blueprint on which everyone could find their hope. The powerful vitality that burst out from the south was not given by this prince, but was originally contained in the body of this sick tiger in the south, and he just guided it out.

No one realized the crisis behind this, or even if they did, they were forcibly suppressed by the powerful prince. The South does not exist in isolation, but the war has made it so for the time being, it is still a part of Great Qin, and Great Qin is led by a group of northerners, can they tolerate the emergence of a new force that can challenge authority? It was obviously impossible, so they assassinated Qin Lei. On his way to the east, he dispatched the notorious bloody killing, and cooperated with some military forces to brazenly attack......

This was already ten days ago, and the prince still had no news, and Jiucheng was killed. So the blueprint became a cake, the future disappeared into nothing, everyone lost their support, and even the yamen of the two provinces had no confidence to speak, and they realized that everything they did had to be supported by the hands of the young prince who was less than twenty years old. Now that he's gone, everything is in the air, and everything makes no sense.

The northern response was swift, and on the second day of the assassination of King Longjun, the new Qincha arrived in Tangzhou and Jingzhou respectively, announcing that they would take over the power and responsibility of the military and political Qincha of Jiangbei and Shannan. People have to admire the eating appearance of the north, which is so undisguised!

These two Qincha are a scholar and a martial artist, Wen's surname is Wen, called Wenmingyi, and he is the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and he is famous for coming to appease the hearts of the people. Wu's surname is Li, his name is Li Yijiang, and he is the left attendant of the military department, and it is reasonable to come to inspect the military affairs. But one of these two is the eldest son of Prime Minister Wen, and the other is the eldest son of Taiwei Li, and the blind man can also see the covetousness of the two bigwigs for the south.

This kind of covetousness was obviously planned for a long time, and after the two governors arrived, they first sent the governors of the two provinces home on the grounds that they had neglected to supervise the civil unrest in the south, suspended them from their posts for reflection, and temporarily took over the military and political power of the two provinces. Then he arbitrarily and unreasonably removed the standing committee representing the government of the two provinces, arranged for his own people to enter the Fuxing Yamen Council, and proposed to convene a general meeting at the first meeting he attended. The ambition to deal with the southern nobles through the revival of the Yamen was clearly revealed.

Fortunately, according to the procedure of the revival of the yamen, it takes a month from the submission to the convening, even if most of the deliberations have not left the house, it is not said that it will be opened, and the two sides have been arguing for a while.

The final date was set for the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15.

Article 10 of Paragraph 7 of the General Provisions of the Statutes of the General Assembly stipulates that no matter to be discussed or voted on at the General Assembly shall be proposed or voted on without prior notice to all matters on the agenda, and the General Assembly shall only discuss or vote on all matters on which the General Assembly has been notified of all matters for consideration more than half a month in advance, unless more than seventy percent of the proceedings deem it necessary.

Therefore, the councilors all knew about the proposal put forward by the yamen of the two provinces, or the northern scholars: dissolve and revive the yamen.

The councillors were not afraid, because His Royal Highness the King of Longjun, who was eloquent and strategic, but died young, had already thought of this situation, and stipulated in the charter that more than half of the councillors believed that the yamen had no need to exist, and the yamen could liquidate its assets and liabilities and dissolve it. This makes it impossible for either side to dissolve the yamen alone, unless several forces unite, for example, there are 20% of the royal government and 40% of the two provincial governments, or the royal family and the southern gentry who occupy 40% of the total are united, this is to avoid the dissolution of the yamen due to the dissatisfaction of one party.

Therefore, if the northern Yankees want to dissolve and revive the yamen, they must unite one party, or more than one percent of the power to speak. But it seems that this is an unsolvable task, because King Longjun has signed an agreement with the three families, as long as the three families do not violate the interests of Great Qin, the interests of the royal family, and Qin Lei's personal wishes, his two-percent right to speak cannot contradict the opinions of the three families. Qin Lei is not in the same sky as the northern Yankees, so the two can only listen to the three masters.

As long as the southern scholars are united, their forty percent plus the two achievements of the late King Longjun are sixty percent, which is as stable as Mount Tai.

These things in black and white, the northern Yankees will not be inquired about, so they must have a countermeasure, so since the day before yesterday, there have been rumors in Jingzhou City that the Xu family wants to invest their power to speak on the side of the yamen of the two provinces, in exchange for Xu Tancheng's official reinstatement.

At first, people didn't believe that the Xu family dared to take the risk of disapproval and collude with the north, but this matter was rumored to have noses and eyes, and some people saw the second and third children of the Xu family and the Qincha Lord eating in Wanlilou, which made people even more suspicious. This matter has been boiling in Jingzhou Mansion, and yesterday a few old men came to visit Old Man Xu to inquire about his true intentions.

Xu Beiqing naturally denied it, but listening to the noise outside the courtyard today, it seems that there is no wind and no waves. Thinking of this, Xu Beiqing couldn't sit still anymore, washed the soil in his hands in the white porcelain basin on the side, and the old family gave him a towel to wipe his hands.

Before he could get up, the noise outside grew louder and louder, and those disobedient things actually broke in. Xu Beiqing was angry in his heart, sat back in his chair, closed his eyes and recuperated.

The voice was already clearly audible, "You can't go in, grandpa said you weren't allowed to disturb his old man's house." This is Xu Qianshan's anxious voice. It seems that this kid still knows that he feels sorry for his grandfather, and he didn't hurt him in vain, the old man thought.

"Shit, look at what our family has made you a little brat? It's smoky, those of us who are uncles don't care anymore, I'm afraid you're going to kick your nose in the face! "This is the voice of the second child. This remark caused a chorus, "That is, your kid even dares to withhold the money that his uncles can support the family, what else would you not dare?" If you don't have an even back, you hide how many bad things the old man has done, and how much black money you have made. ”

These words seemed to arouse the anger of the people again, one by one they broke the roof and scolded in their broken throats, and even greeted the secret organs of Xu Qianshan's two generations of female immediate family members from time to time, and the vulgarity of the words made the old man dumbfounded, and his blood was churning, and finally he couldn't pretend to be deep anymore, he slapped the table fiercely, and shouted with a bruised face: "Enough, you brutes, get me in!" The sound was so loud that it had never been seen in 70 years, and it even shook the beams of the house.

This sound immediately stopped the sons who were abusing outside, these guys were all beaten by Xu Beiqing and grew up, so they were naturally afraid of the old man, but Xu Qianshan was the kid in charge for the past two months, so that they forgot the cruelty of the old man. At this time, the tiger in the house was powerful, and several guys immediately lost their arrogance, obediently slipped into the house, knelt in a row according to the elders and young, and their movements were extremely skillful.

Xu Beiqing looked at the few unfinished things on the ground, and found that he didn't even have the interest to be angry, and he didn't know whether he was raised by flowers and plants and lost his temper, or if he was so disappointed in these bastards, he just felt too lazy to pay attention. The rebuke that had reached the lips turned into a cold sentence: "What are you arguing about?" ”

Several sons saw that the old man was unprecedentedly not angry, and mistakenly thought that the old man was not satisfied with Xu Qianshan, so they began to count the number of your eldest nephews. The one who said that Xu Qianshan nominally clutched the money bag, but in fact it was to hold the money for himself, and it was also said that Xu Qianshan used the money from the public to raise a little wife outside, anyway, he was dissatisfied with Xu Qianshan's accounting.

The old man smiled contemptuously, he heard that when they were in the distance, it was not a question of arguing at all, and he only temporarily changed it when he arrived at the door. These dog things will actually take a detour, knowing that no matter what the method, as long as they can achieve the goal, the old man has a moment of relief.

But don't use your eyes on your own people! Xu Tancheng said in a deep voice with a sarcastic face: "Shut up, you bunch of rice worms, what else will you do besides eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling?" ”

As soon as the sons were about to plead their grievances, Xu Beiqing slammed the table and said angrily: "Since you were three years old, I have asked the best gentleman in Jiangbei to teach you to read; As soon as you become an adult, you will have to make a living, and your family is a mess, and you will also experience it. But what about you? Deliberately messed things up again and again, lest he contribute more to his family, for fear of tiring his precious body...... "Originally, he wanted to continue, 'You can't be a hero in a woman.'" Suddenly realizing that he was facing his own son, he had to swallow it hard.

Xu Beiqing trembled and pointed at his sons, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, only to feel that the bitterness and difficulty of raising children for decades came to his heart, his voice became higher and higher, and his tone became more and more sharp: "You people who eat and wait for death, you don't deserve to complain to Lao Tzu!" Tell you, it's my idea to halve your monthly income, and you don't look at it, who is not in a hurry to live now! It's good that you still complain about the lack of money, when the old man doesn't know what you are doing with the money? You go to gamble and prostitute ......" Xu Beiqing coughed violently, and his old face turned red, as if he would turn his back on his breath at any time.

Xu Qianshan hurriedly went up to beat the old man's back and deliver water, and it took a long time for the old man to recover his strength. The old man looked at his sons blankly, and gasped violently, "If you are here for this, then get out." ”

The sons glanced at each other, and finally looked at the second child on the far left, and the second child was helpless, so he had to whisper: "There is another matter, Lord Qin Chawen said, as long as our family can transfer the power of the matter to the Wen family, they will give us the position of governor and governor of Jiangbei, and let the eldest brother reinstate the official, father, one door and three governors, what a good thing, after this village, there will be no such shop." "It's not been a day or two since these people covet their eldest brother's position.

"Shit! If the South really lets the Northerners take control, when that puppet-like governor has a fart, only you idiots with straw stuffed in their heads will agree! I don't care about you! Disappear from Lao Tzu immediately, get out! "Xu Beiqing is angry, these brutes are just for a few empty official titles, and they want to push the Xu family into the fire pit! Spurned by the Southern Fathers!

The sons were annoyed by the old man's scolding, and the third said in a rough voice: "It's useless for you to say anything, we have already signed and drawn with others......"

"Dream! Without the seal of the head of the house, the broken things you signed are not as good as waste paper! The old man's face was bruised, his whole body trembled violently, and his voice changed tone.

The third child sneered: "What if you have the seal of the head of the family? Listening to what he meant, they really had the seal that represented the interests of the family.

Hearing this, Xu Qianshan reflexively touched his arms, he acted as the head of the family, and the seal naturally belonged to him. As a result, he didn't touch anything, his face suddenly turned pale, and he lost his voice: "The seal is missing......

When Xu Beiqing heard this, he only felt that the world was spinning, his eyes were dark, and he turned his back on it.
