Chapter 375: Means (8)
"How to do it, in fact, is to do nothing, and everything is fine." Yang Chengzu thought about it for a long time, but still made up his mind.
"In this game, I lost the right time and place, I didn't even occupy the people, and I also lost the first move, which was very difficult to fight. At least the offense can't be played, so you have to defend. Rather than falling for the other party's tricks after doing it, it is better to do nothing and respond to all changes without change. Iron always has to be hard, and her goal should be the palace. β
Yang Chengzu compared and drew on the table with his hand, thinking about the situation of the entire An Lu in his mind, and the goal worthy of the White Lotus Sect seemed to be only one place in the Xingwang Mansion. Now the front line needs military rations, and there is not much grain in the treasury of Anlu Mansion, and a large amount of grain has been sent to the front line. As for the money, there are some money, but since the formation of the Anlu Battalion, the silver has been used like flowing water, and the treasury is not abundant.
When the rebels revolted, all they wanted was money and food, and there was not much in the treasury that was worth their deal. It is worth doing it, that is, the local gentry and the landlord is strong. If you want to say that Anlu is the largest landowner, it has to be said that it is King Xing, as long as the palace is broken, the money, food and materials are enough for the rebels to spend for several months.
He is the palace guard of honor, as long as he leaves his post, the palace guard group has no leader, and if he attacks the palace again, he will save energy. Since this is the case, then go the opposite way and get the defense of the palace up. Anyway, he is the palace guard, as long as there is no problem in the palace, even if An Lu becomes hell, it is none of his business.
In addition to this, you still have to visit the local gentry, and if you can save a few more, you can save a few more. He shook his head, "I really don't want to have anything to do with the Sun family, but there is no way, except for Sun Jiao, I am afraid that no one else can do anything about this matter." β
But before you can do all this, you still have to report to the princess first, and get an endorsement from above. Whether it is a joint clan or preparing for defense, it is not a trivial matter, and besides, An Lu is really in chaos, I don't know how many people will suffer.
You can ignore the harm of others, but if you let the relatives of the palace also suffer, it is a dereliction of duty. In Fengxiang Palace, after listening to Yang Chengzu's report, Jiang's complexion also changed a few times. "Is the situation already so critical? This...... Is this Anlu going to be in chaos? What can be done, but what can be done? β
After all, she is a kind and somewhat cowardly woman, and when she encounters this kind of thing, she doesn't know what to do. What she can rely on is the officials and soldiers of the imperial court, but now that she has heard the introduction, she also knows that the officials and soldiers of the imperial court are the most likely to have problems, and she is suddenly at a loss.
"Niangniang doesn't have to worry, there are micro-ministers, at least we can ensure that there are no problems in the palace. But at the moment, we can't get too involved in Anlu's general affairs, so we have to do our own thing first and keep as many people as possible. The minister wondered if he could contact the local gentry chiefs, and who should be allowed into the palace......"
"Yes, yes, you're right, it's time to contact the local village gentry, they always have a way." Concubine Jiang seemed to grasp the straw that saved her life, so she stood up, came directly to Yang Chengzu, and took his hand.
"Yizheng, the only person the mourning family can rely on now is you. You let go and do it, no matter what you do, the mourning family will support you. How much money you use, how many things you use, the mourning family will allocate it to you. As for who to let into the house to hide, naturally the more the better, and if you can save more people, save more. β
Yang Chengzu was caught by her like this, and the two were a little close, and now there were only two of them and two palace maids in the room. It's a little embarrassing to hold hands with such a woman who is not too old, but he tries to pretend that nothing happened
"As long as you support Niangniang, the minister's side will be easy to do, with the shade of the old Chitose, our palace will definitely be able to pass this pass. As for the personnel, it is better for Niangniang to draw up a list, the people who enter the mansion should be controlled, there are too many people who enter, and it is useless to the palace. And when there are many people, it is easy to make trouble, and I don't know if there will be spies mixed in, so we still have to control the scale. β
"Oh, oh, you're right. If you are mixed in by that thief, then something big will happen, and this person will have to limit it well. The mourning family really has to discuss it with people and make a list. All the good martial artists and dart heads of Anlu are all hired back, don't be afraid to spend money, you must keep the son. β
No matter what, at least with Concubine Jiang's endorsement, it will be convenient for Yang Chengzu to do things. Draw up a list and allow people to take refuge in the mansion, these things, he doesn't have to worry about these things, all he has to do is to contact the local clan and minimize the damage as much as possible. Sun Jiao, as the top figure among the local heroes, cannot be avoided in any case.
The Sun family is a good family, far away from home, I saw that the refugees lined up, and they couldn't even cross the horse, so they had to get off the horse and walk. After walking a short distance, he listened to the wind in the back of his head, and he didn't know who it was, so he picked a stone from the ground and threw it at Yang Chengzu. Some people also discussed: "It's him, it's him who injured many of our fellow villagers that day." β
"It turned out to be this dog thief, what did he do?"
"I heard that the palace was going to release rice, but he stopped it, so the rice couldn't be sent. The money and food in the middle were swallowed up by him. What we drink now is porridge, he eats steamed buns, and there is meat every day, all of which are taken out of our mouths. It's a black-hearted demon, why didn't God accept him. If the old mother had a spirit, she should have sent a thunderbolt down and killed him. β
"Yes, if An Luying's brother is here, I must give him some good looks, let him know that we are not easy to bully."
Some people who are very good at incitement are spreading hatred among refugees, and more and more people are looking at Yang Chengzu's eyes full of hatred and anger. There were also a few more people who threw stones, but soon, the Sun family had a family member come over, and the situation did not deteriorate further. When he arrived at the mansion, after hearing about what was going on outside, Sun Jiao's face also changed.
"It's not like words, it's just too bad words. Give them food to eat, they still dare to be so presumptuous, is there still the word Wang Fa in their eyes? Come, tell me to go out, and let them hand over the man who threw the stone, and the old man will escort him to the office. If you can't hand over someone, then there will be no porridge here in the Sun family today. β
Sun Jiao is a person who has served as a governor at the border pass and has also led soldiers to fight, and is not much different from a literati in the ordinary sense, who dares to do things and kill. The Sun family has to maintain a good reputation in his hometown, such as opening a porridge field and administering medicine, and he can't lag behind in these things. But at the same time, he doesn't really care about the life and death of those refugees, in other words, these refugees are a faΓ§ade to him, not a life.
When the refugees wanted to lose his face, he didn't mind letting a few of them starve to death. With his attitude, Yang Chengzu's heart was a little calmer, and he waited until he retreated to tell Sun Jiao what Hao Qingqing said.
Sun Jiao didn't show any fuss about Yang Chengzu having a thief concubine, but just asked: "Do others know about this except for the old man?" β
