The news of the capture of Luzon by the army sent by Lü Yan spread like the wind throughout the south of the Yangtze River. △ Top Novel,

Almost all the yamen posted notices at the city gates and major yamen announcing the good news.

At the same time, it was also announced that Lu Yan would reduce 10% of all taxes under his rule to celebrate this great news.

Anyone who wishes to come and live in Luzon, whether men, women, or children, is exempt from all taxes owed to the government, and is entitled to 80 acres of arable land in Luzon free of charge, without paying grain for three years.

As soon as this news came out, there was jubilation almost everywhere, and many people were also talking about it.

A while ago, Lu Yan eliminated the privileges of preferential exemption for officials in the DPRK and China, and reduced all the privileges of jinshi and juren to show talent, which angered many gentry.

But the handle of the knife was held in Lu Yan's hand, and they all dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

However, those gentry are not fuel-efficient lamps, they continue to make small moves in private, spreading bad words about Lu Yan everywhere, thinking that Lu Yan does not respect the scholars and is not the appearance of a Ming monarch.

Even if you win the world, I'm afraid you will die twice.

In many places, especially in the countryside, these scholars have a very good reputation, even if Lu Yan repeatedly reduced taxes, there are still some people who believe their words and feel that Lu Yan is not a master.

Faced with this situation, Lu Yan, who is aspiring to be a generation of Ming Jun, also felt a little helpless, and he realized the embarrassment of being powerful and having nowhere to go.

can't be convicted for words, it is a rule that Lu Yan set for himself.

If he killed them all, wouldn't he be the same virtue as the Manchus.

Daming's atmosphere is extremely open, and it's okay to scold the emperor in private, let alone scold him Lu Yan.

But he wasn't going to let them go. He ordered some of the people who jumped up and down the most happily to be recorded. In the future, if they make any mistakes. He would immediately send them to Nanyang or even Australia with their families.

Although he, Lu Yan, doesn't like to kill, he likes to distribute very much.

If these people are distributed to their families, it can be regarded as killing chickens and monkeys.

Others will have to think about it if they do it again.

However, as soon as this news came out, many people were extremely shocked.

No matter how weak Luzon is, it is still a country.

This is definitely a veritable effort to destroy the country, and the Ming Dynasty has not been so majestic for a long time.

Moreover, this King Wu's martial arts are extremely strong, and he first beat Daming to the point that he had no power to fight back. Then there was the capture of Nurhachi and Daishan, and the destruction of the Jurchens.

The most recent is to destroy Luzon, which is simply an invincible opponent in the world.

Even many people think that after Lu Yan's death in the future, it is not too much to give him the nickname of Emperor Wu.

Since ancient times, Chinese officialdom has been fond of taking sides.

As long as you are on the right team, then it is definitely a winner-takes-all, and all the interests of the losing side will be divided up by the winning side.

And now it is likely to be a big change in the dynasty, although they don't understand why Lu Yan didn't make a death move to the Ming Dynasty, but almost everyone thinks that the Ming Dynasty cannot be Lu Yan's opponent.

Once Lü Yan decided to make a move against the Ming Dynasty. Then it will be a real thunderous blow, and the Ming Dynasty will definitely not have any power to fight back.

And judging from the rumors coming out of the imperial court. The emperor is now reusing Wei Gelding and alienating these righteous gentlemen from the Donglin Party, no matter how you look at it, it is not the appearance of a Ming monarch.

If you follow the dragon at this time, then you will definitely be the founder of the country, and it is not impossible for your own descendants to be the prince of Wandai.

When I thought of this, many of the gentry were extremely eager.

Although Lu Yan violated their interests, how could these interests be compared with the prince Wandai.

And they believed that under the persuasion of some great Confucians, Lu Yan's descendants would definitely give preferential treatment to scholars again.

After all, it is their scholars who want to govern this country, and such a big country cannot be governed by Lu Yan alone.

After careful consideration, some of the gentry decided to change their style.

For the time being, they tolerate Lu Yan's infringement of their interests, and strive to seek benefits for their own family in this great change of dynasty.

****

A restaurant in Jining Province.

Zhu Weiyan, the eldest princess of Ningde, sat on the second floor and watched the flow of people on the street silently, but it could be seen from her frowning eyebrows that her mood was a little heavy.

Some plainclothes guards were scattered all around, and although the entire second floor was covered by them, they were very careful not to hurt the princess.

The princess's marriage this time is very important, and if something goes wrong, they will all have to walk around without food.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, Lord Yang asked me to tell you, let's hurry up and set off, you have been here for ten days. If this continues, even next year it will not be able to reach Hangzhou. ”

Su Xiaolan said with a bitter face.

"I see, don't bother me."

Zhu Weiyan waved his hand impatiently and said.

After speaking, she continued to look at the flow of people outside with a distracted face, she was resistant to this marriage, but what could she do.

Before leaving, the imperial brother repeatedly told him that he must try his best to persuade Lu Yan not to start a war against the Ming Dynasty, and at least try his best to delay the time of attacking the Ming Dynasty, otherwise the entire Ming Dynasty will be over.

But she was just a fifteen-year-old girl, and suddenly put the safety of the entire Ming Dynasty on her shoulders, how could she bear it.

And she is not a fool, the royal brother said this, it must be to buy more time to make Da Ming stronger.

Once Da Ming eases up, it will be a matter of time before he starts a war with Lu Yan.

Lu Yan is her husband, if Lu Yan is defeated, how can he have any good end.

She also understands the principle of marrying and obeying her husband, if she does this, she will definitely harm her husband, and it will also violate the three obedience and four virtues she has accepted since childhood.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Weiyan felt a headache and didn't know how to deal with himself.

Therefore, whenever she went to a place, she would ask to stay for a few days, which made the journey of the whole wedding party very slow.

Seeing the princess like this, Su Xiaolan had no choice, it seemed that she could only find Lord Yang Lian to persuade her.

It was at this time. Zhu Weiyan suddenly noticed that there was a quarrel not far below.

Zhu Weiyan looked in the direction of the quarrel. An old man in shabby clothes and a young girl are found pulling and pulling with a group of people.

"What are you doing? I'd rather die than be your concubine. ”

The girl struggled desperately.

"You two guys. I have lived in my inn for more than a month, and I have provided you with food and drink. If you owe me 20 taels of silver, and you don't plan to make me a concubine, what are you going to pay back? ”

A middle-aged fat man with a fat head and big ears and a mole on his right cheek said angrily.

"I beg the shopkeeper to do well, and if we have some more time, we will definitely find a way to repay the money."

The girl pleaded bitterly.

"Pay it back? Hahaha, what do you take to pay back? That's twenty taels of silver, are you going to sell yourself in a brothel to pay back? Instead of doing those goods ridden by 10,000 people, how can it be better to be my concubine. ”

The middle-aged fat man laughed.

She has coveted this bright girl for a long time. If it weren't for that, how could he be willing to let them stay in his inn for so long in vain.

The old man was so angry that he couldn't speak, and the girl was also pale, not knowing what to do.

Seeing this, Zhu Weiyan couldn't help but be furious, and then said: "This damn scumbag dares to rob a people's daughter as a concubine, it's really hateful. Come, call me all these people. ”

"Yes, Your Highness the Eldest Princess."

The guards hurriedly said when they heard this.

The girl saw that the fat man was willing to agree no matter what. He hesitated, as if he had made up his mind. Finally said to the middle-aged fat man: "We know King Wu, as long as you can escort us to Hangzhou, I dare to guarantee that King Wu will definitely repay you." ”

Hearing this, everyone was first stunned, and then there was an uproar.

This person was so crazy that he dared to say that she knew King Wu.

She is something, and she deserves to know King Wu.

If it is exposed in Hangzhou, it will not be forced to be a concubine, but to be beheaded.

But some people are skeptical, because the father and daughter both have Liaodong accents.

As we all know, Lu Yan is a native of Shenyang.

I'm not afraid of 10,000 for this kind of thing, just in case.

Zhu Weiyan's face changed even more, they actually knew Lu Yan, how could this be possible.

Even the guards who walked nearby stopped, startled by her words.

"Hahaha! Hahaha! If you know King Wu, then I still know the Holy One! It is really an unforgivable sin to dare to deceive me with such words, but for the sake of the little lady's beauty, I will spare you this time regardless of the villain. As long as you agree to be my concubine, I promise not to blame the past. ”

The middle-aged fat man first looked up to the sky and laughed, and then said unknowingly.

At that moment, the guards shouted, "Get out of the way!" Move! ”

Seeing that these people were holding weapons, and they didn't look like ordinary people, the onlookers got out of the way one after another.

Seeing these few people who were not easy to provoke at first glance, the middle-aged fat man said cautiously: "Who are you?" ”

One of the guards took out his waist card, and then said to them: "Our palace guards, Elder Duke Ningde, want to see you, come with us." ”

Hearing this, the middle-aged fat man couldn't help but be frightened.

He knew that the marriage team of the imperial court was in Jining, and it was the eldest princess of Ningde who was married, but he didn't expect to be bumped into by himself.

"Ladies and gentlemen, spare your lives, they don't owe me any money, please let me go."

The middle-aged fat man knelt on the ground and kowtowed again and again with a handful of snot and tears.

He knew that the eldest princess of Ningde would definitely not do anything good to find him, after all, what he did just now could almost be called a robbery of the people's daughter.

The guards didn't bother to pay attention to the fat man, and directly set him up and dragged him upstairs.

The guards were a little jealous of the girl and the old man, but politely invited them upstairs.

The girl looked upstairs and found a fairy-like girl staring at her coldly with a pair of phoenix eyes. (To be continued......)
