Chapter 650: Discontent
It didn't take long for Liang Ye to be brought in.
"Untie his shackles. β
Liang Ye glanced at Qu Boyin, and then at Xufeng Chenhui, who was in a wheelchair, and immediately knelt on the ground: "The grass people meet the emperor." β
"Have you seen me?" Xufeng Chenhui did not let him get up.
Liang Ye lowered his head and knelt on the ground: "The grass people have never seen the emperor." β
"You haven't seen me, and you want to rebel against me?"
"The emperor is clear, we are really provoked by traitors-so the grass people bind themselves and ask for guilt-"
"It's one thing to stir up, but it's another thing for you to rebel, tell me if the purpose of your rebellion is to replace me?"
"The grass people don't dare! The grass people don't dare! The grass people and those brothers just want to be able to have enough food and clothing without worrying about starvation......
Xufeng Chenhui saw that Liang Ye was trembling violently, so he smiled and said: "Since I have already recruited An, I have not thought about pursuing the crimes you committed before, but dare to bear it, you are commendable, get up." β
"Thank you...... Emperor Xie. β
"Bo Yin said a lot of good things about you in front of me, saying that you managed a group of rabble in an orderly manner, which can be regarded as your ability," Xufeng Chenhui said, "Now that I am employing people, you have a heart of obedience, so I will give you a chance." β
For Liang Ye, coming to the capital was just for the opportunity, and he did not hesitate at all: "Thank the emperor for his grace, and the grass people will go to the soup and die." β
"Okay, with this determination, I dare to give you a chance with confidence......" The emperor did not shy away from Qu Boyin, and said directly, "I asked you a word, and you answered truthfully, those people under your command are as willing to do things for the court as you do?"
"The grass people dare not deceive, and not all of them are like the grass people. Liang Ye replied.
"You know, I don't have any useful talents, but only if they're loyal enough," said the Emperor, "and not everyone agrees with your strategy, right?"
Liang Ye estimated that the emperor was going to kill someone by asking this, although he wanted to be partial, but at this moment he did not have any position to protect everyone: "Yes...... But ......"
"I won't let you kill them, but you have to make it clear to them that I can give them a chance to choose, and those who don't want to serve me and the court will break up and go back to their hometowns," the emperor emphasized, "only this is the chance." β
Liang Ye quickly knocked: "Thank you for your kindness." β
"And the restβthose you can trust, I will put you in the army, and then go to the Western Forest," the Emperor said earnestly, "of course, you are in charge of this army. β
"How can grass people ...... by virtue?"
"Rest assured, I will send someone to assist you, and I will also draw veterans from other armies to help you better understand military discipline. β
Although the emperor did not say it explicitly, Liang Ye understood what it meant.
"Grass People...... Minister...... Yes!"
The emperor nodded approvingly: "You go down, someone will lead you to the ministry." β
Although Liang Ye has not really gotten used to the change of his identity in his heart, he is already imitating the etiquette with his memory in his body.
After Liang Ye left, Qu Boyin took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, the minister has a problem. β
"Boyin, please speak. β
"Although the minister chose to bring Liangye back to the capital, he has no confidence in his loyalty to the imperial court," Qu Boyin said, "Why does the emperor trust him so much?"
"Like you, I don't have the slightest confidence in them, so that's why I put them on the side of the Xilin Kingdom first," said the Emperor, "let them keep an eye on each other, but I am glad that you can take the initiative to ask me, and well, you can go back to the house first." β
"If the emperor plans to go to see the people of Tianluozhuang in the future, please be careful," Qu Boyin reminded, "Although it is in the prison cell of Xuanshi, it is inevitable that some people will want to burn the jade." β
"I'm not going to see them, so let's go down and rest. β
"Yes, then the minister will retire. β
After the emperor waited for Qu Boyin to leave, his face sank.
Half an hour later, he summoned the guards outside the door.
**
Liang Ye was worried when he entered Beijing, although the emperor agreed to Zhao'an, and they also arrested the people of Tianluozhuang as requested, but no matter what, he was a rebel leader.
Now he was sitting in a carriage specially prepared for him, escorted by a team of soldiers, back to Shanghu City, and his heart was too steady.
Staying with the thieves who seized the city inevitably made the original soldiers of Shanghu City unhappy.
However, because of the recruitment in front, they also had to suppress their dissatisfaction.
However, some of the people under Liang Ye's command were extremely dissatisfied and were 'house arrested' in the barracks, and there were many soldiers outside who were 'guarding' them - even if they did not face each other with swords - but the hostility could not be concealed.
So after seeing that Liang Ye didn't return for a long time, someone deliberately provoked something - saying something like 'Liang Ye was deceived into going to the capital to kill us, and the next thing is to kill us'.
However, the first few days did not make much of a wave, but as time went on, more and more people began to resent their situation.
Although food was brought in every day, and no one was hungry or injured, they were confined to a specially enclosed 'barracks'.
This resistance soon spread through the crowd like a flood that broke the embankment.
