"In a few days, someone will naturally come to explain, cousin, we have to go home to see, we have to leave for the time being, the shadow guards have come to help. Li Zhengdao smiled mildly.

Han Pearl and Wen Yu were full of doubts, but seeing that Li Zhengdao was in a hurry, it was not easy to keep them, and they saw the three of them leave, and after a while, the shadow guards poured into the courtyard and protected the two of them.

In the palace, pushing away the concubines beside him, Wen Liang sat up straight, waved his hand with a gloomy face to stop the singing and dancing in front of him, and everyone left.

"Your Majesty, someone threatens Ying Wuxin, if it continues, the other four countries will unite to deal with the Jin country. A hoarse voice said.

"What else?"

"The second prince was assassinated in the outer palace, and a powerful Taoist sect came, and was stopped by Li Zhengdao and others, leaving a three-stage Taoist corpse to leave, and at present, the second prince and the imperial concubine are safe and have been protected by the shadow guard. ”

"It's really going to do everything, and if the order goes down, the king will strengthen his vigilance. "Gentle and good.

"Yes. ”

After a while, Yang Shuyu came in to greet him and said, "Your Majesty, Marshal Long Yuan has arrived." ”

"Let him in. ”

After saluting, Long Yuan got up and said, "I don't know what your majesty summoned you, what are your orders?"

Wen Liang's eyes rolled around, and he said with a serious expression: "If the other four countries alliance attack the Jin country together, can we win?"

"Purely competing in military strength, the four countries together are much more than our Jin country, but our Jin country has a better geographical location, if they want to start a war, they can only attack from the southwest wood country, or the southeast water country, but we and the water country has a dangerous mountain range as a barrier, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the water country is not afraid at all, only the wood country can attack in one direction, we have enough soldiers and horses to establish a defense in the southwest, although the outcome is unknown, it should not be a problem to hold on for a year. Long Yuan said.

"Let's prepare. Wen Liang sighed.

Long Yuan was stunned for a moment, at first he thought that this was a simple assumption, but he didn't expect His Majesty to give an order, thinking of the crisis in the royal capital that he had experienced before, Long Yuan's heart sank, and he also understood why the enemy directly attacked the royal capital.

"The last general understood, and then went down and prepared. ”

"Don't make too much movement, the main thing in the country is to maintain stability. Wen Liang instructed.

"Yes—"

Long Yuan bowed and turned to leave.

Yang Shuyu stepped forward, poured a cup of tea and said, "Your Majesty, please use tea." ”

Wen Liang lay on the chair, looking at the carved roof, his face full of tiredness.

"The crisis in the royal capital can only be passed, there is a bigger storm coming later, and the territory of the Jin Kingdom is still not stable, those people who read still hate me brainlessly, this emperor is really tired!"

Yang Shuyu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, isn't there a Ying Wuxin now, with his clever plan, I believe that soon the second prince will come to surrender, if he can do such a difficult thing, then it should not be difficult to let the scholars support His Majesty later." ”

"I hope so, I always feel that this kid is too slippery, I don't know what he wrote in the edict, and those bachelors in the cabinet are also stupid, I don't know-" Wen Liang scolded, but he couldn't scold anymore.

Seven days later, in Shangyang County, a new announcement was posted, and people who happened to pass by on the street came over to watch curiously, and after a while, they asked with a suspicious face: "Master Bing, is what is written on it true?"

The soldier in charge of guarding the bulletin board said: "Then there can be no fake, this is an edict issued by His Majesty himself, stamped with the seal of His Majesty and the imperial court." ”

"Great, hurry home and bring the baby over to recite it. ”

The onlookers shouted excitedly, turned their heads and ran home.

"What's written on this, what are they excited about?" the soldier leaned over to watch curiously, but unfortunately he didn't know a few words, so he couldn't understand it at all.

After a while, the magistrate came over with a few officials, and the soldiers saluted and said curiously: "My lord, what are you doing here?"

"What else can I do, according to Your Majesty's wishes, send money to the people and bring things over. The magistrate said, waved his hand to the side, and a servant came over with a table, and put a stack of yellow books on the table, as well as a basket of copper coins.

"Really send money, how can you send it?" asked the soldier curiously, his eyes were about to pop out, and he almost suspected that he was dreaming that His Majesty had actually sent money.

The magistrate said: "The announcement is written." ”

"The little ones can't read. ”

"If you don't know how to read, you guarded the bulletin board, how did you send it?" the magistrate raised his eyebrows.

The soldier thief smiled, and a scribe next to him said: "If you want to get money, it's very simple, there are children between the ages of six and twelve in the family, whether male or female, as long as you can memorize the nursery rhymes on the announcement, you can get ten yuan, each child is limited to one time, how many children are in each family, as long as they pass the inspection of recitation, they can receive it, and there is no upper limit." ”

"Ten cents, and this good thing, wouldn't it be that children can also make money. The soldier was surprised, ten cents is already a lot, enough to buy five baked cakes, enough for the family to eat for two days, the most important thing is that children can earn money, it is not difficult, just recite a nursery rhyme.

"Naturally. "Zhixian Road.

The soldier cried and said, "It's a pity that I haven't married a daughter-in-law yet." ”

"My lord, can the country boy receive this money?" asked a soldier next to him.

"As long as you have a household register, you can get it. "Zhixian Road.

Six-year-old children are basically registered, and if they don't, they are all homeless, so there is no need to care at all.

The soldier was overjoyed, his family was in the countryside, and now it seemed that the two children in the family could earn twenty yuan for nothing.

The news spread like a storm in the county, and then spread to the nearby towns and villages, and in less than two days, the whole Shangyang knew the news, and people with household registration flocked to the county with their children, wanting to earn the ten cents.

This ten cents seems to be a lot, but for ordinary people, it is a lot, the key is that it is not difficult to make this money, everyone goes to the county seat, it is considered to be shopping, and by the way, you can also make money, what a good thing.

For a time, Shangyang County became lively, with crowded crowds everywhere and the sound of children reciting nursery rhymes.

It's the same with other counties, and so are county seats.

The royal capital was no exception, people flocked to the front of the county government of the territory, because there was a request, the edict of the royal capital was issued relatively late, and the places near the royal capital were spread, and their edict here was announced.

The moment they saw the edict, many of the children of the official eunuchs widened their eyes in surprise, and they ran home one after another to inform the elders of their families who were officials.

"Nonsense, how did you get this edict?" In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Feng Qinglu scolded angrily.

"Your Majesty, what's going on, how can you make such an edict, isn't this self-destructive future. ”

"Your Majesty is being deceived, this edict, if children recite this ballad today, the second prince is equivalent to having a gold medal for avoiding death, how can Your Majesty let him surrender?"

"What's going on with the cabinet, how can there be such an edict, isn't this a pit for Your Majesty?"

"There must be a traitor, which clearly shows that he is helping the second prince. "In the courtyards of the various official eunuchs in the royal capital, there are indignant criticisms.

Yang Shuyu came back in a panic with the secret report of the shadow guard, entered the imperial study, and knelt down with a pop, "Your Majesty, the old slave should be damned, he was deceived by Ying Wuxin." ”
