Although everyone in the Chu family was unwilling, they were forced by Wei Feng's obscenity, so they had to follow the order, fortunately, the next wine orders were relatively simple, and they could barely catch it with a little bit of Wenmo, and Wei Feng did not act excessively, except for the small episode of gambling with Chu Lingyuan, at least the superficial harmony was maintained during the banquet.

Finally, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, which made everyone in Chu Mansion unbearable, finally came to an end, and after leaving a night's dinner, it dispersed in a hurry like Montahe.

In the following days, Wei Feng was busy training troops, while sending people to fight the bandits east of Pingyang Xian, as the cottages were wiped out, the army under his command also increased to 3,500 troops, and in this way, the time came to March.

This day is March 15 of the third year of Long An, the sun is shining, the world is lush, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, because Chu Shuang announced a tax cut for one year, the fields are also more busy, and the whole territory of Yixing presents a vibrant scene.

Under the sun, the Chu family sat on the grass by an artificial lake, admiring the boundless spring, since the twilight of the year, Wei Feng did not interact with the Chu people, so they gradually got used to this kind of day, they should eat, drink when they should drink, in addition to not being able to go out of the city at will, do not take the initiative to provoke Wei Feng, it seems that there is nothing wrong with being a puppet, at least don't worry about it, Wei Feng takes care of military affairs in an orderly manner, whenever they see the majestic soldiers, they will have an illusion, and they have a sense of security in their hearts.

Chu Shuang's second son, Chu Yanzhi, couldn't help but say: "Father, my son occasionally went out of the city two days ago, only to see that the fields were busy, this is a scene that has not been seen for several years, and I owe you to the tax exemption!" ”

Chu Shuang's old face just showed a hint of bitterness, and Chu Xiuzhi had already taken it over and snorted coldly: "Second brother, do you know, the tax reduction is a promise made by the surnamed Wei on the day he took over the military power, forcing his father to make a promise in front of others, and if the tax is not paid, who will pay the salaries of the county government officials and the soldiers in the county?" What about court demands? Don't we have to pay for it ourselves? This is the fact that he is generous to others to buy people's hearts, which is really calculating! ”

Chu Yanzhi showed a clear look, nodded and said: "I see, brother understands, although General Wei is mainly to satisfy selfishness, but in fact, it is quite beneficial to the people, think that although I Xingyi was not rich a few years ago, the people can basically live and work in peace and contentment, but the king of Huiji is greedy and promiscuous, after Emperor Xiaowu met Shi, he monopolized the court, and the court is getting darker and darker, and the tax is heavier than a year. The younger brother thought that if General Wei had the opportunity to take charge of the center in a few years, he might be stronger than King Huiji! ”

"Humph!" Chu Shuang's third son, Chu Yuzhi, said disdainfully: "The thief surnamed Wei was born, and his methods are despicable and cruel, so he also wants to be in charge of the center?" I'm afraid that the important ministers of the court will die, and he won't be able to take his turn! This guy is just a momentary pride, and sooner or later he will be punished! As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, and turned his suspicious gaze to Chu Yanzhi, and asked for a long time: "Second brother, he hijacked his father, humiliated his younger sister, and had a deep hatred with my Chu family, should you have a good impression of him?" ”

"This" Chu Yanzhi showed a look of contempt, obviously thinking about it.

Chu Xiuzhi's face changed, and he was about to reprimand, Mrs. Chu had already preemptively started the round: "If you throw away the bad feelings for this person, General Wei is both civil and military, acts boldly, and is clean and self-disciplined, if Sanwu really has an accident, with his means, it is likely to take the opportunity to be stubborn, since Yonghe, the scholars are indulged in pleasure, and regard the army as a cheap job, so that the actual position in the army is gradually controlled by the cold family, but forget that the reason why the Langya Wang clan, Yingchuan Yu clan, and Long Kanghuan clan can be prominent for a while is because of the heavy army in hand, General Wei chose to join the army as a bandit, It's a smart move. ”

"Hey~~" After sighing, Mrs. Chu smiled bitterly and said: "Let's talk about the Beifu Army, because of the rebellion of Su Jun and Zuyue, and because the brothers Yu Liang and Yu Bing occupied the upper reaches of the river in order to control the court remotely, so Xi Jian created it, and later became famous all over the world because of the great victory in the river, but now?" The military power has fallen into the hands of Liu Gaozhi, He Wuji, Sun Wuzhong and other broken scholars, and they are big enough to control the court situation, if it goes on like this, I am afraid that the world will be turned upside down, and General Amu Guanwei is quite ambitious, most likely he wants to create another Beifu and Jingkou to compete for control of the court, and even have the opportunity, it is not impossible for Xingwang Dun to watch the supreme story! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed drastically, and a thief dared to touch the world? It's incredible, isn't it? The world is the world of scholars, why should he? But Mrs. Chu is still very prestigious at home, even Chu Shuang is not good at losing face in public.

They exchanged incredible looks, "Not good! Chu Shuang suddenly slapped his thigh and screamed!

Mrs. Chu was also frightened, and hurriedly asked, "Chu Lang, what's wrong with you?" ”

Chu Shuang looked a little depressed, and after being stunned for a while, he said weakly: "A while ago, there were scholars in the territory who came to the county and told them that there was a family surnamed Shi in Yongshi County who was missing, and whether it was men and women, servants and tenants, there was no one in the family, and all the grain, grass, money, and silk were gone, I didn't care too much about it at the time, but now that I think about it, it must have been wiped out by the surnamed Wei, otherwise, where did he get the armor bow and crossbow of a group of bandits?" ”

Chu Yuzhi's face also froze, and then he suddenly realized: "Yes, his thousands of people don't have to worry about eating and drinking, where do they get the money and food?" It seems that not only killed people and exterminated the clan, but also ransacked the Qian family, what kind of grudge does the Qian family have against him, what a vicious heart! ”

For a while, everyone felt that their scalps were numb, and they didn't know what to say, for a long time, Chu Yuzhi shook his head, and said: "As the saying goes, those who become big things are unrestrained, and the emperors and famous generals have always been bloody and tired, although this surnamed Wei is cruel, but it can be barely regarded as a wish, but mother, you praise him for being clean and self-disciplined, please forgive me for not agreeing, he has repeatedly humiliated his sister, how can he be called clean and self-disciplined?" ”

Mrs. Chu explained: "You only saw the appearance, General Wei is indeed killing people outside, that's his business, it has nothing to do with us, and in the house, in fact, in addition to his light demeanor, he didn't really take Lingyuan how, and he didn't violate the female relatives in the house, as far as I know, because the girl of the Wang family has to mourn for three years, General Yiwei has not had a round with her so far, isn't this clean and self-disciplined?" In my opinion, General Wei's humiliation of Lingyuan is related to his character, secondly, first of all, Lingyuan's disrespectful remarks provoked him, thirdly, to warn me that Chu's family should not give birth to right and wrong, and fourth, it is very likely that he has fallen in love with Lingyuan, but he does not dare to compliment him! ”

Chu Lingyuan's pretty face suddenly showed a look of horror, and Mrs. Chu hurriedly put her little hand into her palm, and then continued: "If it weren't for General Wei's family ranking being too low, and marrying the daughter of the Taiyuan Wang family as his wife, my mother would really like to observe him for a while, if he can really show the momentum of Tengda in a year or two, what does it matter if Lingyuan is allowed to him?" ”
