At this moment, Tang Tingbai was standing under the big locust tree.

More than ten meters away, hundreds of people from Dayan were standing.

Their skin is dark, and they look tanned.

And on the big locust tree hung two people.

Their bodies were covered with wounds and they were dying.

The people looked at the two people on the big locust tree curiously, and at the same time looked at Tang Tingbai curiously.

"Lao Tian, what you said is true? Is this really the emperor today, the true dragon son? ”

"Yes, the old man never dreamed that the dignified Emperor Yan would come to a poor country like ours."

"Hehe, it's not that you don't know, our emperor is a pure love for the people, he feels sorry for our people, and knows that our people are suffering here, so he appeared."

“……”

The people were talking.

And Tang Tingbai looked at the confession that Shen Quan had just handed over.

The reason why they still collect taxes from the people, and even pay more taxes than before, is the meaning of their county guards.

Tang Tingbai's face was gloomy, and he knew that the county guard could not be the big fish behind the scenes in the end.

However, this kind of scum Tang Tingbai will never let them go.

Tang Tingbai cleared his throat and looked at the people around him.

"Folks, I am the Emperor of Dayan, Tang Tingbai, I have long ordered that all the people of Dayan be exempted from paying taxes for three years."

"But these people actually make their own decisions and continue to collect taxes from the people, damn it."

"Today, I will kill these two dog officials in front of all of you, you remember that Dayan will not collect any taxes in the next three years, and if any gentry or official dares to collect taxes from you, you can pick up the hoe in your hand and injure, maim or even kill the other party, understand?"

Hearing this, the faces of the people were full of emotion.

This is the emperor they should be loyal to.

Those officials who do not take the people seriously and treat the people as mustard do not deserve their respect at all.

For a while, hundreds of men and women, old and young, knelt in front of Tang Tingbai, their voices full of choked voices.

"Emperor Shengming, long live my emperor, long live."

"I ...... I can't speak, the emperor won't say anything, I'll kowtow to you. ”

"Yes, yes, let's kowtow to the emperor together, long live my emperor, long live Dayan!"

“……”

The people talked a lot, and their faces were full of emotion.

Tang Tingbai took a deep breath, and there was a bit of excitement in his voice.

"Get up, these are the things I should do."

Tang Tingbai said what he said from his heart, and he really put the people first in his heart.

And at this moment, hundreds of people appeared not far away.

And basically they are all soldiers, it seems that this group of people is not good.

The first two are also two middle-aged people.

Tang Tingbai saw the person coming, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

He knew that the big fish were coming.

Soon, everyone had come to Tang Tingbai's face.

"Chen Jiannan Governor Sikong Tian, meet the emperor, long live my emperor!"

"Zhong Lihong, the chief soldier of Chen Jiannan, meet the emperor, long live my emperor."

Immediately afterwards, hundreds of soldiers from Jiannan Mansion knelt on one knee in unison, and their voices were neat: "My subordinates meet the emperor." ”

From the voices of these hundreds of people, it can be seen that these are all elites and masters.

Tang Tingbai didn't speak, but looked at the two middle-aged people kneeling in front of him.

Sikong Tian is tall, with a Chinese face, and looks very righteous.

And Zhong Lihong is also tall, with a hideous scar on his face, which looks a little scary.

Tang Tingbai walked to the two of them and looked at Zhong Lihong and Sikong Tian carefully.

He turned around and looked at Shen Quan, the envoy of Jinyi Weizhen: "Why are you still stunned?" Cut it directly. ”

Shen Quan immediately nodded, took out the embroidered spring knife on his waist, and directly stabbed it at the two county officials tied to the locust tree.

Puff –

Puff –

Blood splattered, and the two county officials didn't even have time to scream before they were out of breath.

Tang Tingbai smiled, he looked at Sikong Tian, the prefect of Jiannan: "Lord Sikong, I am very curious, why do you want to make your own decisions and collect taxes from the people?" ”

Tang Tingbai's voice was cold and did not carry any emotion.

Even, in his heart, he was ready to kill these two feudal officials on the spot.

This......

Sikong Tian's face changed, and he hurriedly kowtowed: "Please forgive the emperor, the minister is wronged, everything is this Zhang Fulin's own opinion, and ...... It has nothing to do with the minister. ”

As he spoke, Sikong Tian kowtowed again.

Never mind?

Tang Tingbai sneered: "I have already ordered Jinyi Wei to secretly investigate other counties in Jiannan, if I find out something, I will punish your nine clans, is it okay?" ”

I......

Sikong Tian smiled helplessly, he knew that he was in a catastrophe this time.

Moreover, what Tang Tingbai said is obvious.

If he admits it, then he is the one who dies.

If they refuse to admit it, when the evidence is conclusive, it will be their entire family that will die.

But he didn't want to die.

Sikong Tian raised his head and looked at Tang Tingbai: "Your Majesty, do you really want to tear your face?" Do you have to get to the bottom of it? ”

At this moment, Sikong Tian's voice was already full of murderous aura.

At the same time, Zhong Lihong also stood up and pulled out the steel knife on his waist: "Your Majesty, we do collect taxes without authorization, but this is not a big deal, the crime is not death, if the emperor must kill us, then we can only fight back." ”

Oh???

Tang Tingbai smiled disdainfully, he touched his chin: "So, are you preparing to rebel?" You must know that the rebellion is not the Nine Clans but the Ten Clans. ”

As he spoke, Tang Tingbai took a few steps back directly.

The five good generals roared angrily, brandished their spears and rushed out.

Puff –

Puff –

Puff –

Almost instantly, Zhong Lihong, the chief soldier of Jiannan, had been stabbed into a sieve, and blood was splattered.

At the same time, General Wuziliang rushed out again, towards the hundreds of Jiannan Mansion soldiers.

Ping Pong –

Ping Pong –

Ping Pong –

The fight is almost one-sided and there is no suspense.

Tang Tingbai walked to Sikong Tian's side with a smile on his face: "Hehe, you brought these rabble, and you want to kill me, what do you want?" ”

As he spoke, Tang Tingbai directly pulled out the serrated knife on his waist and cut the other party's throat.

Now that the other party has admitted to collecting taxes privately.

Then damn these people, for whatever purpose!

Soon, General Goziliang had already ended the battle.

The prefect of Jiannan, Sikong Tian, the general soldier of Jiannan, Zhong Lihong, and hundreds of soldiers of Jiannan were all killed.

"Shen Quan, bury all these people." Tang Tingbai spoke calmly.

In his heart, although the prefect of Jiannan and the general soldiers are all feudal officials, the most important thing in Dayan is to read.

When a position becomes vacant, there will be thousands of people competing for that position.

As for the surrounding people, they didn't dare to speak.

They all know that the emperor is good to them.

But I never expected that the emperor really did not hesitate to kill people.

The dignified three-grade members are simply as unattainable as heavenly officials in the hearts of the people.

It may not even be possible to reach it for a lifetime.

Two days later, the affairs of Jiannan Mansion were basically dealt with.

And all the grain that was collected from the people without permission was returned to the people.

It can be regarded as Tang Tingbai, the Emperor of Dayan, doing something practical for the people.

"Let's go, let's go to Lingnan Mansion and have a look!" Tang Tingbai said lightly.

This......

Jin Yiwei calmed Shen Quan a little embarrassed, and he took out a copy of the information that Jin Yiwei had just sent from his arms.

"Your Majesty, the envoys from the four northern islands have arrived in Dayan Kyoto."

"Before, the Ministry of Rites asked the four northern islands to become a vassal state of Dayan, and it is estimated that this time the delegation of the four northern islands came to our Dayan for this matter."

Oh?

Hearing this, Tang Tingbai's eyes lit up.

Although the four northern islands are barren and the quality of the people is relatively low, their strategic location is very important.

Now if Tang Tingbai leads his troops to the battle, what he is most worried about is a sneak attack from behind the four northern islands.

"Let's go back to Kyoto." Tang Tingbai smiled faintly: "I want to see if the four northern islands will surrender to Dayan, if they dare not surrender, I will fight them and surrender!" ”

In fact, just now, Tang Tingbai already had an imperfect plan in his heart.

There are still more than 20 days before the attack on Tibet, and he can take advantage of this time to lead his troops to attack the four northern islands.

For more than twenty days, it seemed to Tang Tingbai that it was enough to lay down there.

You can train troops and occupy territory, so why not?
