Chapter 247: Force
The Yamen of Nanfu County, surrounded by people and horses, with swords, guns and banners, creates an atmosphere of slaughter.
Seeing this, Du Wangyun and the others, who rushed to hear the news, their faces tightened one by one, and they felt inexplicable pressure.
They have also heard about the changes in the wind direction of various states in the south of the Yangtze River, and now they have seen hundreds of soldiers and horses entering the city and stationed in the county office, and many rumors have been confirmed at once: The world in the south of the Yangtze River is going to be chaotic......
In the hall, the man who led the men sat at the head, followed by the women, and then it was Chen Tang's turn, as well as the county guards Gu Shan, Du Wangyun, etc.
Chen Tang sat there, his face was silent, and his heart had already made waves. He had learned that the comer was the second son and third daughter of Yang Linhe, the commander of Ningzhou, named "Yang Zichu" and "Yang Qiuxue" respectively.
In the Yin State, the separation of civilian and military officials has always been practiced, thus making the military power independent and forming a trend of mutual restraint, but it has also buried hidden dangers. The person in charge of the army has been in a high position for a long time, and his soldiers have countless armor, so he has developed an unruly temperament. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, he wants to reduce the power of the army, which suddenly stimulates the contradictions.
Panzhou and other places are so chaotic.
As the saying goes, freezing three feet is not a day's cold. The outbreak of many things often has early warnings, but many ordinary people are ignorant - even if they know, they are powerless to change anything. Only to be carried by the general trend, the impact was fragmented and displaced.
Along the way, Chen Tang studied and tested his fame and became an official, just to make the place where he was standing a higher position.
This is an instinctive sense of crisis, just like when a flood hits, everyone will desperately run to a higher place.
It's just helpless, now Chen Tang has stood in the position of the head of a county, but the flood still inevitably flooded up and reached his feet.
On the seat, the third lady of the Yang family stared at Chen Tang with burning eyes, and the more she looked at it, the more happy she became, and she almost drooled down.
She was born in a general, has practiced martial arts since she was a child, and has a pungent personality, but she is not as twisted and pinched as those ladies.
In this situation, in the eyes of Du Wangyun and them, they couldn't help but show a strange look, but they didn't dare to say anything, lowered their heads, and tried their best to hold back.
Yang Zichu smiled: "I already said just now, Nanfu County, from today onwards, will be taken over by General Ben." Everyone, who has an opinion?"
This is said domineeringly, with a look of anticipation, and it is even more arrogant.
Du Wangyun was the first to clapped his palms: "Wow, welcome the general to lead troops to garrison and try to ensure the peace of this county." A while ago, there was a demon cannibalism incident, which made people panic, and I waited for the book to come, and wanted to invite the masters of the nine doors to come. Now that the general has brought people, we can't ask for it. ”
As a county lieutenant, he is only an official with sesame mung beans. 's own background and positioning are destined to be difficult to make a difference in a lifetime. You can mix the scenery on the ground, but out of the territory, no one takes it seriously. In such an environment, he has long raised an old fritter-like temperament, and he is the best at seeing the wind and steering the rudder - before Huang Daozhi left office, Du Wangyun changed his attitude in time and got on the ship of the new county commander Chen Tang. Now that someone has killed him, he immediately changed his face again and fell to Yang Zichu's side.
Yang Zichu raised his eyebrows: "Demons eat people?"
Du Wangyun hurriedly told many murders.
After listening, Yang Zichu remained silent and didn't seem to take it to heart.
From beginning to end, Chen Tang, the original owner of the county government, did not say a word, and when they finished communicating, he slowly spoke: "Dare to ask General Yang, is this what the imperial court means?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was silent.
Yang Zichu looked at him and said slowly: "The imperial court has issued an order, saying that the commanders of each state have the right to restrain the states and counties and act cheaply. Lord Chen, if you want to read the holy decree, I can send someone to the state government to copy a copy and show it to you. ”
Chen Tang understood that the imperial court had lost control over many states and counties below. In the long history of the original time and space, this kind of situation has happened many times: local divisions, war chaos, but not a complete rebellion......
As for the truth of the decree, it has long been irrelevant. Chen Tang is not a foolish and loyal, he wants to work hard for the dynasty to accompany the funeral or something, and sighed at the moment: "I see." ”
At this time, Yang Zichu waved his hand and said loudly: "Everyone, disperse, I have something to say to Master Chen." ”
"Good. ”
Du Wangyun and the others hurriedly left and retreated, and even that Yang Qiuxue got up and went out and went around to the back house.
Yang Zichu looked at Chen Tang: "Lord Chen, General Ben believes that you are a smart person, and he cherishes your personal talent even more, so he must be entrusted with important tasks." ”
Chen Tang said: "General Yang has something to say, please say it clearly." ”
Yang Zichu smiled: "Refreshing, Lord Chen, what do you think of my third sister?"
"Heroic, heroic among women. ”
"So I, as my brother, have betrothed this sister to you. ”
Yang Zichu said straight to the point.
Chen Tang shook his head: "Don't hide it, I already have a sweetheart, so I can't live up to it." ”
Yang Zichu's face suddenly became gloomy: "Can there be a marriage match?"
"Yes or no, what does it matter?"
"It's best if there is no marriage, and even if there is, it's just a matter of one sentence to cancel. Anyway, it's decided, you marry my third sister. What kind of sweetheart of yours, let her find another good match. ”
Yang Zichu ordered without question.
Chen Tang held back his indignation: "General Yang, as the saying goes, a twisted melon is not sweet, why do you have to force me to marry?"
Yang Zichu said indifferently: "It's not that I want to force you, it's my third sister who has taken a fancy to you, this is your blessing." There is nothing that my sister likes that she can't get her hands on. She's pretty and more than enough for you. ”
Chen Tang laughed angrily: "What if I don't follow?"
I want to be in high school, and I returned to my hometown. When he returned to Panzhou, he attracted countless matchmakers to come to the door to say goodbye, and he almost broke the threshold. Even Gu Xuezheng and other families were moved to come to conclude a marriage, and even heard that the widow of Tan Baichuan, the commander of Panzhou, also threw their flattering eyes. However, at that time, the order of this world was quite complete, and many things could still maintain basic decency at least on the surface. Chen Tang's fame status as a first-class jinshi can still be respected, so there is no coercion.
However, unexpectedly, after becoming an official in Nanfu County, he ran into it instead.
Yang Zichu took a sip of tea slightly: "It's okay if Lord Chen doesn't agree, but this yamen, you don't have to stay anymore." It takes time to think about a lifelong event. So be it, make you think for three days. Don't let me down, I forgot to tell you that if my third sister gets angry, she will be unhappy. Even I, who is an elder brother, can't hold it down, so you can do it yourself. ”
At this time, a female soldier in armor hurriedly came in and said, "General, the third lady invited you to the back house of the Yamen, she found a good horse and asked you to go over and have a look." ”
Yang Zichu sighed: "Okay." ”
Get up and go.
Chen Tang's face changed, and he suddenly thought that it was a rouge horse, and immediately followed.
