Chapter 228: The Exiled (18)

The general Sun Weijiang looked at Jiang Shengguo and the three of them who were hanging outside, and he really couldn't figure it out. This place is the territory of King Jing Jiang Shengxia, how can the three brothers hang out.

Moreover, what Jiang Shengtang wants to clean up is these three brothers, and now that the three brothers have been hung out, will he attack the city or not?

Sun Weijiang felt that the people in the city who did this were really unreliable. You arrested and hung people, what do you mean, don't go up to the city wall, say clearly?

Or you shout "Long live Your Majesty", and it is also an attitude to take our big team in!

But there was no one inside the walls, and there was no word.

Sun Weijiang had the army stationed outside the city, and then sent a herald to ride a fast horse to report the matter.

The head of the thief was in front of him, but there was no order, and Sun Weijiang could not divide his troops to collect the remaining thirteen cities controlled by the three kings, including Duancheng, Fengqi City, etc.

Sun Weijiang sent people to take turns to check, and found that no one in the city thought of feeding the three kings and their clusters at all.

When the Three Kings woke up, they were silent and confused, as if they couldn't accept the reality of being stuffed into a cage and hanging outside the city.

But the urgency of life events and the increasingly hungry stomach made them let go of their arrogance and roared at Sun Weijiang.

"Why don't you hurry up and let me down!"

"Sun Weijiang, you bastard, Jiang Shengtang doesn't dare to kill Lao Tzu, why don't you hurry up and save me?"

"As long as I haven't been deposed for a day, I'm the prince, why don't you hurry up and put me down?!"

After the three of them found out that it was useless to scold Sun Weijiang, they were forced to urinate so much that they couldn't care about making Jiang Shengtang unlucky, and directly exploded the identities of those people in the city.

"Sun Weijiang, your Lao Tzu, is a lackey of the old dynasty in the city, hurry up and put Lao Tzu down!"

"The people of the old dynasty have occupied a lot of cities, Sun Weijiang, you turtle grandson don't put us down, you won't be able to beat a city when you turn back!" Lao Tzu's Yicheng will also be taken away by them. ”

At this time, another herald shouted as he ran.

"Report, Yicheng has been attacked by the enemy!"

When Sun Weijiang heard this, he immediately dressed up his men and horses, asked the soldiers to put a thick quilt underneath, and then asked the archers to break the ropes.

There was still no movement on the surface of the city, and it was as quiet as a dead city. But Sun Weijiang didn't care to explore the anomalies in this place. Yicheng must not be lost, otherwise he will fight for nothing this time!

The army withdrew, and Li Yingyu walked out of the city wall, watching from a distance, his fists clenched.

"Your Highness, one day we will be able to go back."

Sun Weijiang, the little general of the Sun family. Li Yingyu's father once said that if the Li family could still produce a powerful man, he would marry her to Sun Weijiang, the most talented Sun of the Sun family.

The Sun family is honest and will treat her delicate princess well.

If there is no suitable man, Li Yingyu will become the princess, and in the future, the Sun family can also become Li Yingyu's most loyal courtier, protecting the mountains and rivers.

"Hmm."

The four cities of Yicheng, Kuncheng, Hai'an and Linshan were defended by Sun Weijiang's defense. But the remaining thirteen cities were all in the hands of the people of the old dynasty.

Sun Weijiang, the general of the old dynasty, didn't know what to do. The other party basically didn't show up with people, and he didn't know what kind of attitude it was.

can win peacefully, and he doesn't want to fight for the lives of his brothers.

The concert was sent to Kyoto along with Jiang Shengguo and the three, and it was decided by Jiang Shengtang.

Kyoto

When Zhai Wenying went to Kyoto, she inquired about their attitude towards Jiang Shengtang, the emperor, from the dreams of ordinary people, officials, businessmen, and so on.

To Zhai Wenying's surprise, Jiang Shengtang was not as amazing as he imagined, he was just an ordinary emperor. She could also understand Heavenly Dao's hesitation towards these two sons of luck.

Li Yingyu is not bad to the people under her rule, and she encourages women to go out to earn money. She also said it nicely, although they are orthodox in the old dynasty now, their background is too weak, so they can only think of more ways to develop it.

What about women? They can also cook for the workers and move some stones, which can make their fortifications faster.

Women learn some martial arts, practice their courage, and they will not be afraid to go out to investigate in the future.

Women set up stalls, and the men in the family can also find more profitable jobs to live a better life.

Li Yingyu's status as a woman and the support of her mother's family, everything went smoothly. The government is very strict about bullying women and molesting on the street, and there are officials patrolling every day. After arresting a few typical people and punishing them in front of the whole city, most of the people in the city under Li Yingyu's jurisdiction accepted the fact that women went to the streets to set up stalls and work.

After Jiang Shengtang came to power, he conscientiously governed the fifteen cities he obtained, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the military expenses for the border passes were also sufficient.

But what amazing policy to say?

No!

The biggest thing is this crusade against the Three Kings.

"God, Jiang Shengtang already has a wife, and it will never be possible to fall in love as you said!"

Jiang Shengtang's wife entered the middle palace and had a son. He is not as exaggerated as his father, he was drafted as soon as he ascended the throne, but there are more than a dozen people promoted in his backyard!

And in another year, Jiang Shengtang will also be drafted.

"Li Yingyu's start is not very good, and it is a little difficult to ascend to the throne."

Tiandao originally wanted to rely on Jiang Shengtang to work hard to make a prosperous world, but Li Yingyu was even more talented. She sees people quite accurately, and there are many god-level assistants around her.

When Zhai Wenying shook her head and sighed, she also saw the three kings being escorted into Beijing by soldiers.

The emperor was also surprised when he received Sun Weijiang's recital. Those places were indeed the henchmen of the emperor of the old dynasty. The three kings were really too much for the people, and the attitude of the old courtiers towards them was normal.

Jiang Shengtang was very satisfied with Sun Weijiang's approach. Those courtiers can make the three kings suffer this dumb loss, and the means are clever. He wanted to win over those people, so he sent the original emperor, the current prince and the prince, to be lobbyists.

When the capital was preparing for peace talks, Li Yingyu had already sent troops to garrison six cities, including Duancheng. She also allowed the displaced people who had fled to Fengqi City to return to their hometowns. Vacant houses in the city can also be chosen at will, on a first-come, first-served basis.

Thirteen cities have adopted a uniform lockdown policy. Except for repairing the city defenses and exchanging supplies between the cities, the garrisons in the city did not leave the city at other times, nor did they show their heads outside.

When the crown prince arrived, there was still silence within the city walls.

"The old dynasty is like yesterday's yellow flower, the emperor of the new dynasty is benevolent and righteous, the prince has been established, and the prince is also the face of the Ming monarch. Why don't you let go of the past and seek a good future for yourself? ”

The crown prince counted the good things Jiang Shengtang had done, the decrees he promulgated, and praised the prince's homework and personality, but the city walls were still as quiet as when he first came.

"General Sun, I don't know who is in the city?"

Sun Weijiang shook his head. Before he returned to Kyoto, he had been leading troops to fight at the border passes. By the time I returned to Kyoto, there had already been two emperors on it. As soon as I came here to take four cities, there was such an accident.

"All the time?"

Sun Weijiang nodded. He felt that the turtle shell of the three kings was not wrong. The people here are all turtles, and they are very suffocating.

"Could there be no one in the city?"

Sun Weijiang shook his head, "There are archers inside, we have tried to step forward, and if we exceed a certain range, we will be warned by the archers inside." ”

"Why didn't anyone shoot me?"

The crown prince and the prince found out that Sun Weijiang was quite far away from the city wall before. Sun Weijiang's eyes looked up and down at the crown prince, the words in his mouth rolled and rolled, and finally said, "Maybe respect the literati?" ”

The soldier next to him bowed his head, and the prince and the prince, who was old and pampered, could fight ten of them each. This man went up, let alone the city gate, just the ten bricks near the city gate, can he move it?

"The bow and arrow were made by the government?"

Bows and arrows made by the government will have markings on them. If the government supervises it, then the matter is still under control. If not, there are thieves in the city!

"The Ministry of Industry said that it was indeed supervised by the government."

"At the beginning, the city has already used swords, why don't you just take it?"

The crown prince was hung out of the city and was very angry. He is the previous emperor and the future emperor, and now he is also the head of the world. The people in the city didn't come forward at all, let him be treated with Sun Weijiang, a reckless man!

So rude!

It's time to learn a lesson!

Sun Weijiang secretly rolled his eyes. Didn't you Wenchen say that you would recover these thirteen great cities without spending a single soldier? Now I blame him for not doing it.

"If you don't get the holy order, you don't dare to specialize!"

Sun Weijiang began to doubt Jiang Shengtang's brain at this time. The crown prince and the prince used to be the emperor's teacher, and his own brain and personality are not very good, how good will the disciples he teach be?

The crown prince didn't know that Sun Weijiang was doubting Jiang Shengtang's IQ, so he shouted angrily to return to the capital and let the emperor give the order to attack the city directly.

"Your Majesty, the three kings oppressed the people of the fiefdom with cruel methods, and it was quite common for the old courtiers to resist because of this, and now they should focus on restoring the people's livelihood!"

"Your Majesty, among the four big cities, there is not much grain in stock, and the people are afraid that they will not be able to survive!"

"Your Majesty, the treasury of various places is a little tight, and it is not easy to fight!"

"Foolish, adults! The old courtiers control the city, if one day they wave their troops north and attack the court, what should you do? Do you have to fight in person? ”

"Your Majesty, cut the grass and eradicate the roots!"

……

The two factions quarreled over the matter. The civil officials headed by the crown prince and the prince got the letter of the angry prince and the prince, and the main station. The crown prince and the prince strongly requested in the letter that Sun Weijiang should find him a place to return. He wanted to make these turtles unable to speak.

And a group of civil and military officials are the main peace. The old courtiers have not done anything to threaten the imperial court at present. At that time, they belonged to the fiefdom of the Three Kings, and the payment of taxes was also given to the Three Kings. Now that the four big cities under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court have no way to pay taxes, they even have to open warehouses to release grain, and move a group of people to continue farming.

If the regional treasury controlled by the old courtiers is full, it can also add some income to the imperial court. If they were all the same as those four big cities, the cost of attacking the army and filling the rest of the thirteen cities until next year would be able to bring down the imperial court!

They simply don't have that much food!

Zhai Wenying was stealth in the court eavesdropping. Jiang Shengtang wanted to fight. But he wrinkled his eyebrows and looked at the grain urging chapter and the disaster relief plan of the four big cities, and he didn't dare to fight.

If nothing else, to have four more such big cities would directly hollow out the entire country. Clothing, medicinal herbs, food, etc., all add up to an astronomical amount.

Jiang Shengtang wants a good reputation now, and he can't ignore those who have suffered. If he manages it, he will be asked for money and things from top to bottom.

In the end, Jiang Shengtang still recalled Sun Weijiang to the imperial city under the pretext of being good for the people and the soldiers in the army. And the army he brought with him also returned to Kyoto. Those who did not make meritorious contributions were sent home, and the remaining excellent ones were disrupted and incorporated into the city defense and royal forest army.

"It's a little ugly."

Zhai Wenying watched Sun Weijiang become a bare-bones commander as soon as he returned to Kyoto, and was a little dissatisfied with Jiang Shengtang's approach.

didn't let Sun Weijiang go to defend the frontier, and didn't let him lead troops in the city, just like a disobedient animal in a zoo.

Zhai Wenying watched a lot of things in the city, and then told Li Yingyu all this.

Li Yingyu chuckled, "That fool can be honest, is he beaten honestly?" Maybe if he gets married and leaves his wife and children in the imperial city, he can go to the border. ”

Li Yingyu went to know Sun Weijiang, not really honest, but really simple.

Jiang Shengtang's methods were very low-level in Li Yingyu's eyes, and they also hurt the hearts of his courtiers.

Zhai Wenying didn't speak, she didn't understand. She just told her what she saw in full.

Whether it is Li Yingyu or Jiang Shengtang, they have been recuperating for the next year. Jiang Shengtang owned seventeen big cities, and he was still the emperor on the surface, and he had the upper hand.

Li Yingyu owns thirteen big cities, and he is still the lord of the old dynasty and the future empress, who cannot be said for the time being, and is at a disadvantage.

There were transactions between the large cities under the jurisdiction of both sides. Li Yingyu did not send anyone into the seventeen cities to spy on the news, but simply exchanged goods or made purchases with money. And Jiang Shengtang always coveted the thirteen big cities, and kept sending "news" to Li Yingyu.

After Zhai Wenying's condition stabilized, she went back to the store from time to time, continued to work on the things of changing memories, and also saw if there were any problems with other souls.

The Heavenly Dao over there obviously hasn't come up with a result yet, and the chips on both sides are about the same.

But when Zhai Wenying came back again, what she saw was Li Yingyu paying tribute to her father and smiling happily.

Li Yingyu used the dark line in the palace to calculate Jiang Shengtang's calculation of his favorite concubine, so that the favorite concubine slipped one after another, until she could no longer have children, and secretly leaked clues to the favorite concubine and the favorite concubine's family. As an insider, the queen was also hated by the favored concubine.

In the current imperial city, Jiang Shengtang's harem is unstable, and the court is divided into four factions. The prince and the princess, the queen, the concubine and the neutral.

The head of the neutral faction is already Li Yingyu's person.

"You're in luck!"

"Yes, children are always the weakness of parents!"

Li Yingyu found the man's long-lost wife and son, and now has a grandson.

Zhai Wenying didn't answer, what she really wanted to say was that Tiandao had already made a choice.
