"Okay, well, our purpose of Xingjing is to serve the people, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and what we need is a talent like Lord Wang." Zhou Xian laughed.

After Wang Yongji explained it to Zhou Xian, the whole person also relaxed.

After changing camps, Wang Yongji's vision of things is also different, just now he felt that Zhou Xian was a ruthless person who liked to kill innocents indiscriminately.

But now from Zhou Xian's standpoint, this Liu Zeqing really wants to kill, if he doesn't kill him, more and more Liu Zeqing will stand up.

"Mr. Zhou, what is Zhang Guoji going to do?" Wang Yongji asked.

"Kill!"

Zhou Xian said lightly.

"Killed? If we kill the king, there is no turning back. Wang Yongji was a little worried, after all, it was the national abbot.

"I know that if you don't kill him, it's not enough to establish your authority, and it will make people think that our Zhou family army is weak and bullying." Zhou Xian said in a deep voice.

"I suggested that he be locked up, just say that he wants to kill General Zhou, and let the emperor send someone to negotiate and give us some benefits." As soon as Wang Yongji changed camps, he began to think about Zhou Xian.

Zhou Xian also felt a little reasonable when he thought about it, killing Zhang Guoji himself would not benefit at all, if he was locked up and talked to Chongzhen about the conditions, he might be able to get a little benefit.

When Zhou Xianzheng and Wang Yongji were chatting, Wu Haibin came back.

Seeing that Wu Haibin came back alone, Zhou Xian raised his eyebrows, "Let him run away?" ”

"We went late, Zhang Guoji ran early." Wu Haibin said with some annoyance.

"It seems that this Zhang Guoji is really timid and cautious."

If you don't catch him, forget it, there will be a chance to arrest him in the future, and now it's better to rule Shanxi first.

Su Xiaoxiao and Xiaohong, who lived in Zhou Xian's mansion, slept until midnight and were suddenly awakened by the sound of gunshots, she had never heard this kind of sound louder than firecrackers.

Hurriedly put on his clothes, climbed out of bed and walked outside the room, and as soon as he walked out of the room, he met two soldiers of the Zhou family army standing guard.

Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "May I ask this big brother, what's wrong?" ”

"Miss Su, don't worry, it's just a little bit, and it will soon be wiped out by our Zhou family's army, you go back to your room to rest." A soldier said.

"I see, thank you, big brother." After that, he walked back.

Su Xiaoxiao was a smart woman, and as soon as she heard the soldier's words, she guessed that Zhang Guoji must have sent someone to arrest her.

If she hadn't come to this mansion with Zhou Xian, she might have been arrested, thinking of this, she was scared for a while, and she was even more grateful to Zhou Xian in her heart.

Zhang Guoji was at this time in an inn in a small county twenty miles away from Lishan West City.

Zhang Guoji was suspicious by nature and cautious, after he arranged for Liu Zeqing to sneak attack the Zhou family's army, he was always uneasy, so he escaped from Shanxi City overnight, came to live in this small county, and sent people to inquire about the news in Shanxi City.

Early the next morning, as soon as the gate of the capital city opened, the people sent by Zhang Guoji rode to this small county town.

When the spies came to Zhang Guoji's room to make a report, Zhang Guoji was having breakfast.

Seeing the spies coming, Zhang Guoji opened his mouth and said, "How is Shanxi City?" ”

"Back to China, Liu Zeqing's sneak attack on Zhou's army failed, and he has been killed by Zhou Xian." The spy said respectfully.

"What?"

"Liu Zeqing was killed by Zhou Jiajun?"

Zhang Guoji was shocked.

"Yes, the news of Liu Zeqing's killing is true, and his subordinates dare not lie." The spy was sure.

"This Zhou Xian actually dared to kill a court official, is he going to rebel?" Zhang Guoji said angrily.

The spy knelt there and did not dare to speak.

After a while, Zhang Guoji came back to his senses, and he had better go back to the capital first, it was too dangerous to stay here.

When the time comes, tell the emperor that this Zhou Xian is going to rebel, and let the emperor come to punish this Zhou Xian.

After making a decision, Zhang Guoji no longer hesitated, and hurriedly led people to the capital.

Three days later, Zhou Xianzheng was sitting on the main seat of the government, Wang Yongji was sitting at the bottom, and there were officials in the hall who hurried from various provinces in Shanxi.

These officials received Wang Yongji's order, and although they didn't know why, they still rushed to the scene.

When they came to the mansion, they saw a strange young man sitting on the throne, and they all showed surprise, but they didn't dare to say anything, but silently found a place and sat down.

After seeing that everyone was here, Wang Yongji stood up, "Let me introduce to you, this is Zhou Xian, the new Shanxi commander-in-chief." ”

When the officials heard that this strange young man was Zhou Xian, the recently famous head of the Zhou family, they all looked surprised.

"I've seen the chief soldier!"

The officials stood up and saluted Zhou Xian.

"You're welcome, let's take a seat!"

Zhou Xian looked at the more than 20 officials below and said lightly.

"Mr. Xie, Mr. Xie!"

The officials sat down resignedly.

"I came to you today to issue some decrees, and I hope you will carry them out." Zhou Xian said straight to the point.

"Decree?"

"Shouldn't this be the governor's business?"

"When is it the turn of the general army to issue an order?"

The officials immediately began to discuss it.

"Quiet!"

Wang Yongji scolded loudly.

The officials fell silent.

"What do you look like like this, now that General Zhou has the final say in Shanxi, you just have to act according to the order, don't care too much." Wang Yongji said unhappily.

When the officials heard Wang Yongji's words, they immediately understood, it seemed that Wang Yongji had already submitted to Zhou Xian, so he had such a look of being the horse's head.

It's just that everyone didn't understand why Wang Yongji wanted to submit to Zhou Xian, the chief soldier, but it didn't take long for them to know the reason.

I saw Zhou Xian continue: "If anyone dares to disobey in front of me, Liu Zeqing will be his end." ”

The officials didn't understand why Zhou Xian said Liu Zeqing, Liu Zeqing was in their impression the second-in-command in Shanxi, and he had always occupied military power.

"Liu Zeqing actually attacked the Zhou family army last night and was killed by General Zhou!" Wang Yongji added.

"What Liu Shen is going to die?"

"Why did General Liu attack the Zhou family's army?"

The officials finally understood why Wang Yongji surrendered to Zhou Xian, this Zhou general soldier killed a general when he said he would kill him, which was really unscrupulous.

Everyone looked at Zhou Xian in awe, and they no longer dared to take what Zhou Xian said as wind in their ears.

"We must act in accordance with the instructions of the chief soldier, and we dare not have any negligence."

All the officials hurriedly expressed their positions.

"Very good, I will issue the first decree below, that is, the people in Shanxi will be exempted from land tax for one year!"

Zhou Xian announced lightly.

"Exempt the people's land tax for one year, so what will we give to the imperial court?"

Li Ming, the prefect of Shanxi, asked.

"We don't pay taxes to the imperial court!" Zhou Xian's words were amazing.

"What? Don't pay taxes? ”

"Aren't you afraid of the imperial court's punishment?"

The officials looked horrified.

"Now that the imperial court is so incompetent, it is better for us to pay taxes to the imperial court to recruit troops and horses, develop the economy and ensure the safety of our Shanxi side!"

When Zhou Xian explained, he used a mysterious ball of light to influence their thoughts.

The officials were affected by the mysterious ball of light, and they no longer felt rebellious about what Zhou Xian said, but on the contrary, they felt that it was very reasonable, which made people unconsciously trust Zhou Xian.

This is a very strange feeling, Li Ming was still a little dissatisfied with Zhou Xian before, but just now, he was suddenly full of awe and admiration for Zhou Xian.

Could it be that this is the spirit of the legendary king? Li Ming thought so in his heart.

Only this kind of domineering spirit can make people full of awe and worship as soon as they come into contact with it, and the more Li Ming thinks about it, the more sure he is of his guess.
