Zhou State, Yanbei Mansion.

Stationed in the suburbs, in the camp.

Commander Zhao Xuanfeng and three deputy commanders sat around the fire, drinking wine and chatting.

"I heard that the Holy Lord recently dismissed several prefects who opposed the new policy, and our Governor Liu of Yanbei Mansion was also among them."

"Hey...... What is so good about this new policy that His Majesty would rather offend the people of the world than insist on going his own way. ”

"I heard that after the implementation of the new policy, the fields belonging to military households will also be cleared again, and the land tax will be paid according to the method of equal tax on square fields and apportionment into mu......

The commander Zhao Xuanfeng sighed and said leisurely: "This is okay, it is nothing more than to pay more land endowments, the problem is that some people say that Your Majesty wants to return the acres of land after the Qing Dynasty to the imperial court and then redistribute it." ”

When the other deputy commanders heard this, they were all taken aback, looked at Zhao Xuanfeng, and asked:

"And that kind of thing?"

Zhao Xuanfeng sighed: "It's just a rumor, it's just a rumor." ”

A burly deputy commander slapped the table and said angrily: "Every acre of Lao Tzu's land is bought with real money!" The emperor said that if he wanted to take it back, he would take it back, how could there be such a truth in the world! ”

The other sturdy deputy commander had an equally angry expression and echoed, "That's it! What is the difference between this and banditry! ”

The burly deputy commander glanced at him, his eyes flickered for a moment, and then he slapped the table and said angrily: "If the emperor dares to touch Lao Tzu's field, Lao Tzu will dare to rebel!" Big scar on the head with a bowl cut! It's better than having lost the foundation you've worked so hard to save! ”

As soon as this remark came out.

The whole tent fell silent.

Both the commander and the three deputy commanders fell silent.

There was no joy or sadness on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Right now.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the tent.

Immediately after, the voice of a soldier sounded.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Lord Liu, the prefect of Yanbei, is here!"

Several commanders glanced at each other, and they could all see surprise in each other's eyes.

"Why is he here!"

Zhao Xuanfeng hesitated, was silent for a while, and said, "Let him in." ”

According to the grade of the court of the Zhou State.

The prefect is the fourth product.

The commander is the third product.

Although there is little difference between the two in terms of status and power, the commander is a whole level higher in rank, and there is nothing wrong with letting the prefect see him.

"Yes, sir!"

A moment later.

The prefect of Yanbei, dressed in a unicorn robe, came to the camp.

This is a thin middle-aged man, looking at the thief's eyebrows, there is a little obscenity.

"Lord Zhao!"

The prefect of Yanbei stood upright and saluted Zhao Xuanfeng.

Zhao Xuanfeng sat on the chair, looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, frowned slightly, and said:

"Lord Liu has not been dismissed and investigated by His Majesty, why can he still wear this official robe to see this official."

The prefect of Yanbei looked at Zhao Xuanfeng and said:

"This official was dismissed from his post and investigated, but there are traitors who are doing it...... Some time ago, His Majesty wanted to use Yanbei Mansion as a pilot to implement a new policy, limiting the official to clear the land within two months, divide the fertile land, and divide the land into acres......

However, in the opinion of the Lord, these measures will not only not reduce the burden of the people, but will lead to changes in the hearts of the people, so he bluntly admonishes His Majesty to abandon the new policy.

But I didn't expect that my heartfelt words would be attacked by traitors in the DPRK and China......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhao Xuanfeng:

"This official doesn't care why you were dismissed and investigated, you just need to say, what are you doing here here."

The prefect of Yanbei hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "This official is here to ask Lord Zhao, but I know that one of the new policies is aimed at the acres of land in the health office. ”

Zhao Xuanfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "You say." ”

The prefect of Yanbei said slowly:

"The acres of the guard, like the people's acres, must be handed over to the government to clear the zhang, and after the clearing is over, it will be registered and presented to the imperial court.

How many fields are there, in whose name, good land or barren land, all remember clearly, Lord Zhao thinks, what is the use of the imperial court asking for these? ”

What else can it do, it is nothing more than to prepare for the future repossession.

As soon as this remark came out.

Zhao Xuanfeng and several deputy commanders fell silent.

I don't know how long it took.

Zhao Xuanfeng looked at the prefect of Yanbei and said coldly: "What do you want to say!" ”

The prefect of Yanbei took a deep breath, his expression was serious, and he slowly spit out a sentence:

"It is difficult to control the traitors in the court, so this official invites you to ...... Qingjun side! ”

As soon as this remark came out.

The whole tent fell into a deathly silence.

Unexpectedly, none of the few people present refuted, let alone stood up and angrily reprimanded the prefect of Yanbei.

It seems that they are also like the prefect of Yanbei, who has the idea of Qingjun's side.

As the minutes ticked by, no one in the tent spoke.

In the end, it was the burly deputy commander who broke the silence and said in a deep voice:

"The entire Yanbei Wei Office is combined, but there are more than 6,000 people, and the imperial court can easily exterminate us without even using the Tiger Ben Army.

The prefect of Yanbei looked at him and said: "Don't worry about this, as long as you play the name of the Qing monarch, it will definitely cause a response from all the prefectures and guards, and when the time comes, many forces will gather together, and there will be more than six thousand people." ”

Zhao Xuanfeng looked at the prefect of Yanbei and said coldly: "Why are you so sure that someone will respond?" You must know that the Qingjun side is a big sin for the nine clans! ”

The prefect of Yanbei looked solemn and replied: "This official is sure, please rest assured that Lord Zhao is here!" ”

Zhao Xuanfeng snorted coldly and said, "You just say a word casually, and you want me to wait for me to take the risk of punishing the Nine Clans and accompany you to rebel?" ”

When the prefect of Yanbei heard this, he opened his mouth and wanted to say something.

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded in the tent.

"Noise!"

The voice is heard.

Everyone in the camp was shocked, and subconsciously looked at the corner on the southwest side of the camp.

There stood a woman in a strong suit with a graceful posture, holding a long sword in her arms, leaving only a figure of their backs.

See this back.

Zhao Xuanfeng, the prefect of Yanbei, and several deputy commanders all seemed to think of something, their eyes flickered, and they fell into silence.

That's when it happened.

The woman's cold voice rang out again.

"Give you a day to discuss the eucalyptus on the side of the Qing monarch and send it to the old locust tree in the Zhao Mansion in the south of the city, and this woman will go to pick it up."

As soon as this remark came out.

The atmosphere in the tent instantly became a little delicate.

Zhao Xuanfeng and the five looked at the woman's back, and then looked at each other, and the expressions on their faces gradually froze.

"Could it be...... They were also fed poison? ”

The prefect of Yanbei looked at these commanders, and his expression became extremely strange.

Before coming here, he had made all kinds of preparations.

racked his brains, thinking about how to persuade them to agree to Qingjun's side.

Outcome......

Like themselves, they have become puppets controlled by others!

"Don't think about playing tricks, otherwise no matter how big the world is, this woman will be able to find and kill you!"

After Tang Rou finished speaking the lines in the script, she was about to leave.

This time.

The commander Zhao Xuanfeng suddenly spoke: "The heroine stays!" ”

Tang Rou's original intention to step out of the foot was forcibly retracted.

Zhao Xuanfeng saw that Tang Rou didn't leave, and said busily:

"Regarding the Qingjun side, the official has a doubt, and I ask the woman to answer it for the official."

Tang Rou said coldly: "Speak." ”

Zhao Xuanfeng looked at her back, his expression was serious, and he said in a deep voice:

"There are only more than 6,000 people in the Yanbei Guard, although it is close to the border pass, the training is strict on weekdays, and it can be used on the side of the Qing monarch, which is really not enough, the imperial court is afraid that there is no need to dispatch the Tiger Ben Army, and a few guards can be exterminated by recruiting a few guards at will......

In this way, what is the significance of the Qingjun side?

If the woman doesn't give me a suitable reason to wait, how can I wait and send the family to death? ”

didn't wait for Tang Rou to speak.

The prefect of Yanbei on the side explained:

"This point, this official has just said, and the prefects of the surrounding prefectures have already hinted to this official, as long as you put up the big banner on the side of the Qing monarch, they will respond."

Zhao Xuanfeng was still a little skeptical, and said in a deep voice: "Qing Jun's side said it well, but it is actually a rebellion, this is a big crime of the Nine Clans, and we don't dare to make a decision easily, let alone them." ”

The prefect of Yanbei said: "The imperial court has designated this area as a pilot area for the new policy, and if they don't rebel, the ancestral foundation will be destroyed!" ”

Zhao Xuanfeng said: "It's just a matter of handing over more fields, so it won't reach the point of rebellion." ”

When the prefect of Yanbei heard this, he opened his mouth and wanted to refute it, but he couldn't find a suitable reason.

The reason why he agreed to rebel was because he was from a poor family and his family was weak.

There was only one son who could make him care.

And the Tang shopkeeper promised that as long as he agreed to rebel, he would send his son to Qianguo to ensure that he would be prosperous and wealthy for the rest of his life.

That's why he agreed without hesitation.

But he really didn't know what the situation was with the prefects of the other prefectures.

Zhao Xuanfeng saw that the prefect of Yanbei was silent, his eyes flashed, he looked at Tang Rou, and said in a deep voice:

"If the heroine can't give a suitable reason, it is equivalent to dragging the family I am waiting for to die! In that case, it would be better to die alone! ”

The other three deputy commanders glanced at each other, and they all had the same thoughts.

Even if the liver and intestines are broken and he dies, it is stronger than being punished by the Nine Clans!

Right now.

Tang Rou's cold voice sounded again.

"They are all poisoned by it, just like you."

As soon as this remark came out.

Zhao Xuanfeng and the others were all stunned.

"So, the prefects of the nearby prefectures and the commanders of the guards are actually the puppets of the girl?"

Tang Rou snorted coldly and did not answer.

Zhao Xuanfeng hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Even so, if you want to clear the monarch's side, I'm afraid it's still not enough." ”

The prefect of Yanbei on the side interjected:

"We are on the side of the Qing monarch, and we are not rebelling!"

"As long as Your Majesty agrees to behead Wei Dongzheng, that traitor, and no longer implements the new policy, we will achieve our goal!"

Zhao Xuanfeng looked at the prefect of Yanbei and hesitated: "But ......"

The prefect of Yanbei said: "No, the world has been suffering for a long time, the banner of the Qing monarch is erected, and the princes of the court will definitely put pressure on Your Majesty, and when the Wei Party collapses and Your Majesty's mind is reversed, we will withdraw our troops, and negotiate the conditions with the princes before withdrawing the troops, there will be no big problem."

Even if Your Majesty settles accounts after the autumn, Yanbei Mansion is only three hundred miles away from Qianguo, so let's just flee to Qianguo. ”

The voice fell.

Zhao Xuanfeng fell into deep thought.

I don't know how long it took.

He slowly raised his head, looked at Tang Rou, and said in a deep voice, "Okay!" Listen to the heroine in the next place, and three days later, raise troops...... Qingjun side! ”

Tang Rou said "um" and was about to leave.

Seeing this, Zhao Xuanfeng couldn't help but speak: "Heroine stay!" ”

Tang Rou stopped in place, her brows furrowed slightly, and she snorted coldly.

"What else?"

Zhao Xuanfeng hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm really curious, why did the woman turn her back on me, because she was afraid that we would see her true face?" Or is there another reason? ”

As soon as this remark came out.

The rest of the people all looked at Tang Rou with bright eyes, hoping to get an answer.

Obviously, they have been entangled in this question for a long time, but they have never dared to ask.

Hear the question.

Tang Rou was silent for a while, and after a while, she said slowly in a voice like the vicissitudes of life: "This woman has acted all her life, why do I need to explain it to you!" ”

The voice fell.

The whole person disappeared with a swoop.

Only Zhao Xuanfeng, Yanbei Prefect and others were left looking at each other and were speechless for a long time......
