On 1 February, the Celebrant Supervisor, the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and the Military Department sent officials to inspect the head of the Liukou.

When they heard that this was the second room of Rongguo Mansion, a boy under the age of sixteen did it, they all didn't believe it.

After all, it is not uncommon for the Great Zhou Dynasty to kill good people and pave the way for future generations.

Maybe Wang Ziteng killed the common people, and then pretended to be a rogue, wanting to promote his nephew to the throne.

But after checking, it's all real heads!

"Oh, Lord Wang, these heads were cut off by your nephew?" The eunuch Fang Zhenghua asked.

Wang Ziteng Zhengse said: "This is my nephew Jia Baoyu led the black soil villagers, working together and bravely killing the enemy, my nephew is Rong Guogong, a meritorious family, often thinking about serving the country, because of the gratitude of heaven, sacrificing life and forgetting death, only today's great victory!"

Don't hide it from my father-in-law, after the old man heard about it, he couldn't believe it, and he made a special trip to Heitu Village, and when he saw the Tuan Yong of those Heitu Village, he confirmed that it was true. ”

After Fang Zhenghua confirmed that it was correct, he led Wang Ziteng to meet Emperor Longqian in Xinuan Pavilion.

As soon as Wang Ziteng entered the door, he knelt on his knees and fell to the ground: "Long live my emperor!" ”

"Aiqing, please get up." Emperor Longqian was in a good mood and had a gentle voice.

Wang Ziteng stood up cautiously, his eyebrows lowered and pleasing to his eyes.

Emperor Longqian had already learned of this news, and said with a smile: "Wang Aiqing, you have a good nephew, according to the inspection of the Imperial Horse Supervisor and the Ministry of War, all of them are the heads of the real Liukou, which shows that your nephew is a sincere person and lives up to my trust." ”

Wang Ziteng said loudly: "It is all thanks to the emperor's great fortune and kindness, and ordinary people can also fight bravely to kill the enemy and serve the court." ”

Emperor Longqian smiled and said: "Jia Baoyu has meritorious, you are also indispensable, where is Jia Baoyu now, send him to see me." ”

Wang Chengen immediately trotted to pass on.

Jia Baoyu was one step slower than the prince because he had to arrange some things, and he had just arrived at Rongguo Mansion at this moment, and before he could enter the door, he was stopped by Wang Chengen with a few little eunuchs and quickly taught him the etiquette of facing the saint.

Poor Jia Baoyu was dusty, and he didn't have time to change his clothes, so he was dragged away by Wang Chengen while riding a horse.

"What a brave and combative Jia Zhong'an!" Wang Chengen did not hesitate to praise.

Jia Baoyu arched his hand and said: "The prince has a good reputation, and the grass people are just reporting the grace of heaven and serving the country loyally, but the prince is the prince, I see that you have been a little angry recently." ”

The corners of Wang Chengen's mouth were blistered several times, and his mental state was not very good.

Wang Chengen sighed and said, "It's not a rogue!" Li Zicheng of Henan, Zhang Xianzhong of Huguang, which does not make people worry, the Ministry of War came to report, in the first month of this year, Li Zicheng, who has been besieged in Fengjie Yubelly Mountain, broke through and transferred into Henan, and captured Luoyang, and executed Chen Changxun, the king of Fu.

The emperor was furious about this, and the inkstone fell several times. ”

Jia Baoyu shook his head secretly when he heard this, Fu Wang Chen Changxun was innocent, he relied on his Laozi is the emperor, when he was in Luoyang, he occupied all the property of Zhang Juzheng for private ownership, and allocated all kinds of miscellaneous taxes along the river from Yangzhou to Taiping in Anhui Province to himself, and also divided 40,000 hectares of farmland from Henan, divided 1,300 yuan of Huai salt (520,000 catties), and took part of the income of Sichuan Yanjing as his own.

It can be said that Chen Changxun is a leech adsorbed on the body of the Great Zhou Dynasty, constantly sucking blood, he sucks the blood of the people of Henan, Henan natural disasters continue, the people are displaced, and they sell their sons and daughters.

However, King Fu did not restrain himself, but became more and more rampant, taking advantage of the fact that the people could not pay the rent, and wantonly seized the land at a low price, forcing many people to flee.

Henan, as the hinterland of the Central Plains, has seven vassal kings in a big place.

These seven vassal kings occupy nearly half of the land in Henan, and all of them do not have to pay taxes, with the power of Henan, to support the seven vassal kings, but also to pay taxes to the imperial court, the people of the entire Henan are living in dire straits.

In the eyes of the imperial court, Li Zicheng is extremely evil, but for the people of Henan, Li Zicheng is their great savior!

The common people can't wait for him to kill all these vassal kings!

By the way, overthrow the Great Zhou Dynasty again!

But now he can't interject, he is a cousin, breaking bones and tendons, outsiders better not meddle.

Following Wang Chengen to Xinuan Pavilion, Jia Baoyu saw Wang Ziteng sitting on a small bench, Wang Ziteng at this moment was solemn and solemn, not smiling, just like a primary school student who listened attentively in class.

Emperor Long Qian, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was wearing a dragon brocade robe, which was bright and dangling, compared with the last time they met, it seemed that there were a few more white hairs, Jia Baoyu bowed down and said: "See Your Majesty!" ”

Wang Ziteng was in a hurry in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Why don't you kneel when you see Your Majesty!" ”

Who knew that Emperor Long Qian waved his hand and said: "It's okay, this kid is like this when he sees me for the first time, come, come forward, let me take a good look at our little hero." ”

Jia Baoyu hurriedly walked to Emperor Longqian's side, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Zhong'an, the military department said that this time to kill the enemy, you and a strong man named Zhao Yun? How can the two of you face more than a thousand rogues and not be defeated, but instead behead hundreds of thieves? Emperor Longqian smiled.

Jia Baoyu said: "Your Majesty Mingjian, what two people have killed hundreds of enemies, this is all an exaggeration, this time the most contributed is the people of my Great Zhou Dynasty, the villagers of Heitu Village."

In the face of the ferocious rogue, the village chief Li Fugui and his son Li Gui led the villagers Li Daniu and others to kill the enemy bravely.

Of course, there are still a few bandits on Tianmen Mountain among the villagers, that is the bandits recruited by me and Zhao Yun a few days ago.

It is precisely because of the persistence of the villagers' group training that we can support the arrival of Zhao Yun and me. ”

Emperor Long Qian listened very carefully, and asked a few questions from time to time: "What is Zhao Yun's background?" ”

"If you go back to the emperor, Zhao Yun is a person from Hejian Zhending Mansion, and he has practiced martial arts in the mountains since he was a child, and he is still a white body."

White body?

Emperor Longqian slapped the table and said: "It seems that I still have loyal and righteous people in Da Zhou, who can sacrifice their lives and forget their deaths, and be loyal to the monarch to serve the country, but I hate Li Chuang and Zhang Xianzhong, who have no son and no father, I am dedicated to the country, for the people of the world, I have food and clothing, diligence and thrift, but they still want to rebel against me!" ”

Emperor Longqian poured bitter water, I don't know why, when he saw Jia Baoyu, he wanted to talk about his heart.

Jia Baoyu fully plays the role of a listener, does not interject, does not refute, just nods and says yes at the appropriate time.

Emperor Longqian said to Wang Chengen: "For the ministers and ministers to discuss the industry, Jia Zhong'an, Zhao Yun and others must be rewarded, and we can't let my warriors chill!" ”

Wang Chengen hurriedly responded: "Yes! ”

Emperor Long Qian suddenly turned his head to look at Jia Baoyu and said, "I remember, you still have to take this year's college exam?" ”

"Emperor Meng is worried about it, and the grass people have been preparing, just waiting for the exam in a month." Jia Baoyu's face was not red and his heart was not beating, "There is also this year's autumn festival, and the grass people should also give it a try." ”

Emperor Longqian laughed, stretched out his hand and patted Jia Baoyu on the shoulder twice: "Yes, yes, after being worthy of being the Duke of the Kingdom, I have thought about it, I will first crown you as a hundred households of Jinyi Wei, and when you are in high school, you will be rewarded separately!" ”

Jia Baoyu was overjoyed, he didn't expect to get an official so easily.

Although the official position of the hundred households of Jinyi Wei is not large, it is also in the establishment, and the descendants of ordinary nobles want to find an official and a half position, and they all need to spend silver.

Now that it doesn't cost a tael of silver, he has won the position of a hundred households, Jia Baoyu hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Long Qian laughed heartily, and he smiled at Jia Baoyu and asked, "You have fought with the Liukou, in your opinion, what is the combat effectiveness of these Liukou?" ”

Jia Baoyu just wanted to say that it was just a group of local chickens and dogs, but when the words came to his lips, he immediately changed his words: "Your Majesty, according to the ministers, although the Liukou are just a group of peasants who have just put down their hoes, their leaders should not be underestimated.

The ministers saw that they were organized in a lawful manner, and they advanced and retreated to a certain extent, not like peasants fighting, but like a group of regular troops, and after interrogation, the leader of this group of rogues was only a small hundred households, and many of them were border troops who fled from Xuanfu, Datong, and Liaodong.

Your Majesty, you think, these border troops fight against Warat, Tatar, and Jiannu every day, and in terms of experience, they are much stronger than the three major battalions that have never fought in their lives, so it is understandable that this Shenji battalion was defeated so quickly. ”
