"Ambassador Yang, Xu doesn't quite understand."

Xu Huizu said suspiciously.

He really didn't understand.

Commoners?

Is there anything going on with the people here?

"It's very simple, this river god wants to restore the Song Dynasty, and you have to keep Ming, the two sides only have one battle, but the war can start a war and the soldiers will have countless casualties, the river god is naturally compassionate, you and I are kind-hearted, and naturally I don't want to see innocent people shed blood for this.

Whether it is Song or Ming, they all pay those imperial grain and national taxes.

Who is the emperor is not the same?

Why did they shed blood for this Song and Ming dispute?

This is not an alien invasion, nor is it a king who can't live, it's just because of their loyalty, there is no need to implicate innocent people, so the river god proposed this one-on-one challenge. But this heads-up is really unfair to you, after all, he is the river god, you are mortals, but there is nothing wrong with the river god's loyalty to the Great Song, after all, he regards the Zhao family as the master. So let's not bother, let the people be a referee, the people say that they are willing to follow the Great Song, then it is no fun for you to stick to it. The common people said that they were willing to follow the Ming Dynasty, and it was no fun for the river god to entangle it any longer, after all, what if he won the war, the common people no longer wanted the Zhao family.

That way, you don't have to implicate the innocent.

You can all be worthy of your conscience. ”

Yang Feng said.

He's got a big hole.

The real purpose of his play of the river god is to realize a series of plans.

First, of course, revenge.

It is impossible to dare to design a pit for him, without retaliation.

Second, control the Jin Domain.

Then let them go to the Toyoshu River, where he will work on his second big development project, you must know that it is not easy for him to recruit immigrants in the past, but the Jin clan is a forced immigrant at least tens of thousands of people. Even if only one guard is retained, it is more than 5,000 people, not to mention that there are other palaces belonging to the palace, such as craftsmen, doctors, schools, etc., tens of thousands of people are inevitable, and they have to repair the palace, repair the city, and repair the temple, and in this process, the next batch can be coaxed.

All at once.

The original Dong Shengwei will also be included after it is changed to an escort.

This guard was not originally a member of the staff.

This time it had to be filled compulsorily, and finally formed an armed reclamation group of tens of thousands of people, which was much easier than him going to Huiningla, who still had to catch up with those righteous daughters, and had to spend a high salary, and now Zhu Yuanzhang had to give him a ride.

He's a prostitute for nothing!

Third, let Zhu Yuanzhang admit that he took over the country from the Red Turban Army, let him admit that he is a member of the Red Turban Army, and clarify the legitimacy of this rebellion against foreign rule, in fact, it is to give a clear attribution to the theory of destiny and merit in the previous struggle with Confucianism. Recognize the legitimacy of the Red Turban Army's resistance, recognize the Song in the middle, admit that Han Lin'er's dragon and phoenix regime is a continuation of the Song Dynasty, and Zhu Yuanzhang made it clear that he was once a Song minister, and later of course Han Lin'er thanked him for saving his life, and thought that he was not capable of leading the heroes, so he gave him the throne for the sake of a common cause.

History books are easy to do.

Change!

Jiannu is so changed that he can't change it?

Thirty years have passed, and how many people can still remember what it was like back then?

In another twenty years, I am afraid that everyone will believe in the new version of Song Ming Chan.

This is also a good thing for Zhu Yuanzhang.

At the same time, let the emperor grandson come to appease the river god to explain the reason, and then the river god suddenly realized, since then drifted away, and then the emperor will seal him a god in the Yellow River around the temple, the times sacrifice, so as to calm down the matter, and then the emperor grandson to Kaifeng sacrifice to the sky to re-clarify the identity of the prince, so that the people in their hearts, the formation of a clear image of the future emperor.

He is the future emperor.

The common people have recognized him as the new king.

Fourth, turn Shanxi into a fortress area controlled by Yang Feng.

Not overtly controlled, of course.

As long as all the people of Shanxi obey him, listen to his command, and take him as the backbone, even if he leaves Shanxi, as long as he comes back, he can immediately mobilize Shanxi, then this is enough to form a fortress area.

Now he still needs the cooperation of the gentry, and when this time is over, it is estimated that there will be no need for the gentry.

Fifth, that's what he's going to do now.

"Ambassador, aren't you kidding, this kind of big thing is up to the people?

Who is the official?

How can a group of grass people replace the government and the court to make decisions? ”

Xu Huizu was speechless.

"Wei Guogong, isn't Ling Zun just a common people?"

Yang Feng said gloomily.

So I don't agree, you encourage them to rebel like my father, right?

Xu Huizu looked at him resentfully.

"Wei Guogong, don't forget how your Xu family started, isn't your father also a farmer and a common man? Even your emperor is just a tenant, it's only been a few years, and you forgot your origin after eating a few bites of rich food? You can't forget your roots! ”

Yang Feng said.

"Xu has been taught!

But the war is a peace that should be determined by the saint, Xu is a minister who guards the land, do the people choose to return to the Song Dynasty, and Xu will give up Shanxi?

If there is no holy decree, Xu can only fight to the death! ”

Xu Huizu said very simply.

Yang Feng looked at the letter......

"Ambassador, my Xu family is loyal to Your Majesty, but I want to be worthy of my heart."

Xu Huizu said in a posture that he wanted to tell the truth.

It's not that he doesn't know the severity.

Even if the son of Jin Shizi informs and he dies in battle, the Xu family will lose the title of Duke of Wei at most, and will be reduced to a commoner by the sky, which is not a crime to death, but according to what Yang Feng said, it will really betray the Ming Dynasty, which is to connect the three clans. He admitted that in the recent period, because of a series of wrong choices, he did do a lot of things that needed to carry the emperor on his back. But these things are mistakes, mistakes he made out of self-preservation and other psychology, he is stupid, it's not that he is disloyal to the emperor and Daming, but if he does what Yang Feng says, he will be disloyal.

There is an essential difference between stupidity and badness.

It is still your own people who make mistakes out of self-preservation, and they can still be saved, but if they are disloyal, they are hopeless.

"Wei Guogong, I didn't ask you to listen to it at that time?

Even if the people choose to return to the Song Dynasty, you can choose to say no, it is nothing more than a bloody battle, you originally wanted a bloody battle, but after the result came out, it was still a bloody battle, and there was no difference.

But what if the people choose the Ming Dynasty?

Won't you be able to get through this easily?

What's more, your emperor must have been sending troops to reinforce Taiyuan, but it will take time, so you can delay some time. As for letting the people decide, it is just a delaying tactic, even if your emperor knows, you can explain it, in fact, as long as you Shanxi officials don't say it, he won't know the truth. At that time, once the people chose the Ming Dynasty, the river god would naturally retreat, and you would calmly solve this matter without moving a knife or a shot, how capable.

Besides, you just gathered the elders outside and came over to discuss something together.

Your emperor himself consulted with the elders.

You learned this from him.

You're right. ”

Yang Feng said.

Xu Huizu's bureaucratic mind once again gained the upper hand......

There seems to be some truth.

First of all, there is nothing wrong with convening the elders to discuss, because even Zhu Yuanzhang often summons the elders to do things, and Zhu Yuanzhang's grassroots rule is the elders, the grain chief, and the lijia. The identity of the elderly is very special, and even Zhu Yuanzhang will appoint the elderly as his special envoy to purchase grain from various places and transport it to the warehouse for disaster relief.

And often.

Therefore, in the face of the current situation, it is also reasonable for Xu Huizu and the magistrates of Shanxi to summon the elders and grain chiefs from outside to go into the city to understand the situation.

As for letting them choose whether they belong to the Song or the Ming......

We're just asking.

Get informed.

They said they didn't want to be clear, so we listened to them.

Just ask.

But if they say yes, they are ......

The clouds cleared and the fog cleared.

Everything was worked out.

Otherwise, if it really starts, Yang Feng can really kill these civil and military officials in Taiyuan City, in the end, Wei Guogong doesn't want to die, he also wants to live to enjoy the glory and wealth, he didn't commit suicide in the original history, and he wrote very heroically that the prince of Zhongshan would not die, in the end, he still didn't want to die, if he was loyal to Jianwen, he still wrote a hair!

If you like to kill, you can kill!

I am a loyal servant, and I wish you would kill me and fulfill my name.

Now Yang Feng does give him a very attractive choice.

But......

"Wei Guogong, this kind of thing can't be decided by you alone, you might as well gather others to discuss it and make a decision together."

Yang Feng said.

Xu Huizu was obviously moved.

He thought he could be vain, but he didn't know this kind of thing, if he really started, he wouldn't go as he envisioned, he thought he was a delaying tactic, but he didn't know that loyalty is not absolute is absolute disloyalty.

You say that you, out of loyalty, want to solve the problem for the emperor by peaceful means as soon as possible?

But the emperor is not a roundworm in your stomach, how can he understand you so well?

All he sees is that you have done something obviously unfaithful without his knowledge, and then you will always be branded as unfaithful in his heart. If you don't have a chance, the emperor may slowly clean you up, and if you have a chance, you will kill you with a thunderbolt, you are already disloyal, what do you want to do alive?

Of course, Wei Guogong was very happy to summon the civil and military officials in Taiyuan and make everyone uncomfortable together, so soon the political envoys were called.

And then......

Everyone said that Wei Guogong had the final say in this kind of thing.

Everyone is not stupid, of course Wei Guogong has the final say in this kind of matter, and this is the first offense if something happens, but for Ambassador Yang's proposal, there is no need to tell His Majesty the Emperor about this kind of trivial matter, but everyone agrees.

There really is no need to tell the emperor.

Outside the city of Taiyuan.

Under the greeting of the people, Ambassador Yang walked straight to the front of the river god, and then saluted the river god, the river god nodded slightly, but at this time, the river god was on his special shrine, that is, the thirty-two sedan chairs, and a high platform was specially set up below, so that he could be high, like an altar for worshipping the gods.

The river god has been on this since he arrived in Taiyuan.

No eating, no drinking.

Of course, he is a god and will definitely not eat or drink.

The same is certainly not the case......

Bigu!

Immortals are like this.

During the day, you have to cultivate, so you put down the curtains all around, and at night you will shine the earth with divine light.

So every night, there was a sea of people around like a pilgrimage, and the foolish people and foolish women knelt around and worshipped, begging for good weather, for the sick to recover, for children, in short, for everything. And part of the Ming army to reinforce Taiyuan has arrived, Pingyang Weizhen Xiwei and so on, but because Wei has an order, and there are too many people here, these Ming troops did not dare to attack.

Anyway, they are just besieging Taiyuan, not prohibiting people from entering and leaving Taiyuan City.

Just keep an eye on it.

"Folks, Yang has already entered the city and told Wei Guogong.

Wei Guogong did not dare to disobey the river god.

But after all, he is the minister of the Ming Dynasty, if there is no holy decree, he cannot let the river god enter the city, so Yang proposed that it is better for the people to decide, the river god wants to restore the Great Song Dynasty, but now it is the Ming Dynasty, and it is the Zhu family. The river god was a loyal minister of the Great Song Dynasty, and he was loyal to the Great Song Dynasty back then, and his ambition cannot be changed, so do you like the Great Song Dynasty or the Great Ming Dynasty? If most of the people like the Great Song Dynasty, then Yang has already negotiated with Wei Guogong that he will lead the army to withdraw from Shanxi, and will not let Shanxi be poisoned by war again. If most of the people like the Ming Dynasty, then the river god also promised that he would not dwell on this matter in the future, and would return to the god's mansion to bless the wind and rain along the Yellow River in the future.

In short, the matter was left to the people to decide. ”

Yang Feng shouted.

The people in front of him looked at each other, one by one showing obvious surprise.

And this kind of good thing?

They really didn't expect it!

Although they followed the river god, in fact, the real purpose was to force the imperial court to agree to move the domain, and they didn't think about going further.

It is said that it belongs to the time of the Great Song Dynasty, or more than 200 years ago!

Who remembers Da Song!

But to say how much they like Da Ming, this is definitely not enough.

They are grass people.

What can weeds think about this kind of thing?

Whoever is the emperor is the same for them, even if the emperor is better, after going through so many middlemen, they can't feel it here, as long as it's not the kind of harsh taxes that ruin their family, they are very satisfied, when are they qualified to express their opinions on this kind of thing?

But now it's up to them to decide who owns the land beneath their feet?

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are the masters of this land, you have lived here for generations, starting from your ancestors, every city, every fertile land, every road here has been built by your ancestors for generations. Only you can decide where this land belongs, and I can guarantee that whatever choice you make, as long as I, the intermediary, remain, I will vouch for you. If someone repents and doesn't accept your choice, then I'll put a gun to his head to make him accept, even if it's the river god, I dare to stand up for you, so you don't need to worry about this, you just need to figure out whether you like Song or Ming.

Then make a choice.

From now on, be your own masters! ”

Yang Feng shouted.

Then he raised his gun and deliberately pulled the bolt to aim it at the river god.

"A certain is loyal to his ministers, righteous for his friends, and his life is bright and fair, Your Excellency does not need to worry, if the people do not want to be Song people, they should leave."

Then the river god said very ethereally.
