Chapter 206: Mu Linhan
Before Emperor Wu fell ill, there were only two factions in the court.
The Liu family and the Qin family are represented by Su Zhaoyang and Li Yuntian respectively.
For many people, this is a multiple-choice question, General Qin is far away in Youzhou, and Li Yuntian is still a prince who has not opened a mansion, and it seems that Liu Zhongqing has only one choice at the moment.
Unexpectedly, in just a few months, this Wu Dynasty has changed.
The crown prince Li Yunxing became an upstart, and the Lian family became the prince's father-in-law.
The Su family relied on Liu Zhongqing, but in the end, they got a Su Zhaoyang death, and the Su family ended up in despair.
The most special thing today is Qi Ming, who had just lost his son, his face was pale, as if he had suffered a huge blow, and the whole person was in a trance for a long time.
"Lord Qi, don't make a taboo in this high hall," Liu Zhongqing said coldly.
He was reminding Qi Ming not to be confused for a while to attack the prince.
Now that the house is full, don't let everyone be put on the stage and can't get off.
Qi Ming nodded weakly, he naturally knew that the look in his eyes just looking at Li Yunxing was definitely not friendly.
"Thank you Lord Zaifu for your concern......," Qi Ming paused and continued, "It's just that when I think of my son's tragic death, the initiator can sit back and relax...... The minister is unwilling! ”
Liu Zhongqing sighed lightly and patted him on the shoulder, "Lord Qi's mourning is smooth, and this matter needs to be considered in the long run." ”
Qi Ming didn't deny it, but tried his best to restrain the anger in his heart.
Then he got up, picked up the wine glass on the desk and drank it up.
"The minister is still in the mourning period of his beloved son today, and he only drank a glass of thin wine, please forgive me." Qi Ming arched his hand and said.
Everyone hurriedly stood up and echoed, "Lord Qi, please mourn." ”
Of course, there are also many good deeds who set their eyes on the crown prince Li Yunxing sitting on the upper seat.
According to folk legend, Qi Yuanqing was killed because he robbed a woman with the prince.
It's just that this death is too cruel, so many people dare not speak out.
The name of the prince "evil god" is also louder than before.
Qi Ming shook his head, his expression was very haggard, "The minister will retire first." ”
From beginning to end, Li Yunxing didn't even tilt his head, let alone feel guilty.
Rao is an old fox like Liu Zhongqing didn't understand how Li Yunxing could act so arrogantly this time.
However, it is also in line with Li Yunxing's style that no one has always looked at.
After he left, Liu Zhongqing took a sip of the wine glass, narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes flashed with coldness.
Today's feast is hastily dispersed, and everyone has different moods.
After Princess Chunshan returned to her palace, she smashed everything that could be smashed in the house, and it was a mess.
"The princess is angry, the slaves and maids can't stop it, it's not worth it for you to hurt your body like this." Bizhu was anxious and couldn't help but persuade.
"That willow Rufu, relying on his own good looks, dares to charm his father, how can it be true!"
The more Princess Chunshan thought about it, the more annoyed she became. She has always been proud, how has she ever suffered?
This Liu Ruxu is younger and more beautiful than her, and she has won the favor of her father, and now she is riding on her head.
"You say, how could my father protect her so much?"
Bizhu was stunned, and then returned, "Presumably, the Liu family is still behind the back." ”
"Hmph, if it weren't for Liu Zhongqing, why would Liu Ruxu be pressing on my head!"
"Princess, Liu Ruxu is powerful now, or else, ......" Bizhu whispered a few words in Chunshan's ear, only to see a trace of viciousness flash in Chunshan's eyes.
"Good. Just do as you say, I want her to die without a place to be buried! ”
……
Jingzhou.
The impact of the flood has lasted for more than half a year.
During this period, Jingzhou was in shambles, but fortunately, the summer dry season came to alleviate the spread of the disaster, and all parts of Jingzhou finally had a chance to breathe.
In the rest of the place, there is still no harvest.
And because of the lack of salt, vegetables and other materials, men, women and children are hungry, everyone is so hungry that their faces are yellow and thin, and their clothes are in tatters, as if they are dried corpses.
"Put the grain, put the grain, join us in Qingfeng Village! I promise you have food and clothes to wear! ”
"Yes, Qingfeng Village is our shelter, everyone come with us."
"Joining us is the right choice!"
Tents were set up one by one, and after they robbed Su Zhaoyang's grain truck, there were no more than 1,000 people in Qingfeng Village, and the food was very sufficient.
Mu Linhan arranged to take advantage of this opportunity to absorb more useful newcomers.
The old and weak, women and children do not want it, and the young strong men can be recruited to serve as soldiers in the barracks and serve themselves.
Qingfeng Village expanded several times in just two months, becoming a huge force of three or four thousand people, as if it had become the strongest force in Jingzhou.
Recently, however, Qingfeng Village's solicitation plan has become slow.
Many people just passed by to have a look, but they did not join Qingfeng Village.
The people below wondered what had happened, and why had these people suddenly changed their attitudes.
Mu Linhan couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and sent his brothers to find out the reason.
As a result, he got a piece of heavy news - His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent Gao Changzhuo of Jiangling City to Jingzhou for disaster relief.
Gao Changzhuo ordered that if the people helped the government build the embankment, not only would they have 200 wen per month, but also a free food supply, and after picking bricks and stones, clearing sediment, and weaving bamboo baskets reached a certain amount, they could also be exempted from paying taxes for one year.
Now everyone in the family who has labor is going to help the government build the embankment, and almost all the young and middle-aged people in Jingzhou are involved.
The prince sent Gao Changzhuo to Jingzhou for disaster relief, which invisibly weakened the power of Qingfeng Village.
If there is a way to live, who wants to be a thief?
What's more, Qingfeng Village only accepts strong laborers, and those who have wives and children at home are not allowed to join, so they can only watch their relatives starve and suffer.
The most important thing is to be exempt from paying taxes for one year, so that you don't have to worry about the next year's harvest.
"Owner, what should I do about this?"
Mu Linhan sank, "You go down first, appease the brothers, we are now at a critical juncture, if someone defects, the hearts of the people in the village will inevitably be turbulent, and no one with a different heart will be allowed." ”
"Once verified, kill the chicken and make an example of the monkey!"
Mu Linhan gave the order in a cold voice, he was the head catcher of the yamen before.
It has a murderous atmosphere, and now this remark is even more shocking to everyone present.
"Yes." The commander hurriedly retreated.
The rest of the people also felt at a loss and retreated one after another.
Stay in Mu Linhan and sit alone on the high platform.
He thought about the cause and effect for a while, and finally decided to contact the "military advisor" quickly.
The crown prince was now aware of the rebellion in Jingzhou, but he did not do anything to them.
If it weren't for the fact that there were still thousands of civilians in his hands to threaten, he was really worried that the prince would directly send troops to attack Qingfeng Village.
Now, he must quickly contact the "military advisor" to determine the next step.
