Chapter 592: The Celestial Empire Falls to the Prince
Saying that, the man in the white shirt kicked out with several legs, kicked the soldiers away, and just fell to the ground, only to hear a "whoosh" sound, and an arrow feather went towards the back of his neck.
The onlookers, in the face of this sudden change, were all amazed, and they all covered their mouths, and suddenly cold sweat broke out.
There was a "clang" sound, and he saw a steel knife blocking the arrow feather, and then he flew out in a few circles, and went directly towards the leading soldier, so frightened that he threw down the bow and ran away with his head in his arms.
"Ahh
Seeing this, the other soldiers of this command hurriedly climbed up from the ground, and followed behind them in embarrassment, holding steel knives and spears in their hands.
"Okay" I don't know who in the crowd shouted, and thunderous applause suddenly sounded, and I saw everyone coming over, clasping their fists and saluting, showing respect to this person.
"Who saved me with a steel knife just now, can you show up and see, and when you make a decision, you should prepare water and wine, and we won't get drunk and go home." The man in the white shirt bent down and clenched his fists and spoke into the crowd.
I saw that the crowd turned around, waved his right hand towards the pine and cypress, and the old gentleman stood out of the crowd, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It's this young man, just now he blocked the dark arrow with a dodge, and his body is so fast, he is really a person with high art and courage." ”
"Hahaha! It turned out to be this brother! Xiao Ke has thanked me in advance, come on, come on! Today, if anyone is free, I will be the east of Chunfeng Building, please have a drink, everyone please!" The man in white shirt came over, waved his right hand and led the pine and cypress people to Chunfeng Tower.
When the shopkeeper saw the door, there were people in the vicinity everywhere, and the originally depressed business was surprised and happy to see so many people coming!
"Ladies and gentlemen, this small shop has a small business, this business has been light recently, you can drink wine and eat food, but if you owe it on credit, then please go back!"
"It's okay, it's okay! Today I'm going to entertain these folks, this is ten taels of silver, you see if it's enough, if it's not enough, just ask!" The man in white shirt walked out of the crowd and handed the silver tael in his arms to the little second brother.
"Uncle, please! You are all my own father and mother! I haven't seen any white silver for a long time, you hurry up and sit inside, and the good wine and meat will be served to the big guy immediately. The shopkeeper suddenly turned around, smiled and waved to welcome everyone in.
"Little second brother, good wine and good meat come up, today we are not drunk and do not return, your treasured good wine, hurry up, don't slack off these folks." The man in the white shirt waved his hand and led the pine and cypress, and the two of them headed towards the table next to them.
"Hahaha! The old man is not strong enough to drink, so he replaces wine with tea, seeing that the two of them should not be ordinary people, they will definitely be dragons and phoenixes among people in the future!" The white-haired old man stroked his beard and sat next to the pine and cypress with a smile on his face.
"Okay, good, since the old man is willing to accompany him, then it is so good, listen to your voice, it should be someone nearby, Xiao Ke has something to inquire about, I don't know if you can tell one or two?" The man in the white shirt lifted the teapot, poured the old man a full cup, and handed it over with both hands.
"Hahaha! The little old man is a native of this West Street, when will this child land? When will the doll get married? That is all knowing! Since the son has something to ask, you don't have to be formal, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" The white-haired old man picked up the teacup, but stared at the man in white shirt, and slowly put it off his lips.
"That's the case! Xiaosheng, I passed by your land, I heard that the king of Jinling raised troops to rebel, the army pressed the Jingshi, the general who defended the city opened the city gate, although the outer city was in danger, and then the princes from all walks of life came to King Qin, why did they finally merge into one and ensure that Zhu Zaixiong was the emperor, what is the reason for this?" The man in white shirt lifted the teapot again, poured water for the white-haired old man and asked.
"You don't understand this, right? This rebellion is actually Zhu Zaixiong, the king of Jinling, and the people who came to vote one after another are all small princes from all walks of life, and they are indeed under the banner of King Qin at the beginning, but this king of Jinling has given a lot of silver and grain and grass, so he will naturally be submissive to him, and he is willing to protect him to the fund Luan Yes!" The white-haired old man smiled and squinted his eyes, and kept nodding his head.
"Just two grains of grain and grass, you can buy these princes from all walks of life, this seems to be a bit unreasonable, is there a reason in it?" the man in the white shirt was confused, and continued to ask.
"Hahaha! You may not know that the imperial court has been fighting for gold again and again, and the treasury has long been empty, and the local government has not received the silver taels allocated by the imperial court at all, only to take the silver taels from the inventory to the princes and princes, and the silver taels have not been settled, so they naturally come to the capital to ask for it, this Zhu Zaixiong gave them what they wanted, and they will naturally surrender to him. As soon as the white-haired old man spoke, the two of them were suddenly a little dumbfounded!
"Since this is the case, then this time the emperor returns to Beijing, naturally there is a shortage of silver, and when the time comes, these princes and princes will not get the silver, won't they have to make trouble again!"
"Is this true or true? If the war in the north continues, and the imperial court has to continue to send more soldiers, horses, grain and grass, not to mention the common people, maybe the emperor will not be able to open the pot, then it is not completely impossible?" The white-haired old man let the little second brother who served the dish stand up and said.
"I can't imagine that this form is so severe? This emperor is obsessed with harem women, not to mention the construction of a large number of buildings, and also spreads gold and silver on the ground, this is really asking for hardship?" The man in white shook his head, lifted the wine jug and poured the wine.
"Come on, come on, don't mention these unpleasant things, let's drink happily today, we don't get drunk, I respect your old man, in your opinion, what is the problem?" asked the man in the white shirt, holding the wine glass and handing it to the old man.
"In fact, this problem is very simple, firstly, this war continues, all kinds of taxes and revenues are aggravated, causing endless troubles from all walks of life, first sending troops to encircle and suppress, the result is even worse The treasury is empty, and secondly, there are too many feudal kings, and the income of the local government is less than two-thirds of the money for these princes, and it continues for a long time, and the vassal king will give birth to the prince, and the prince will regenerate the county king, and the treasury will be dragged down alive, and there is no way to make a living. The white-haired old man looked towards the door, smiling all over his face.
I saw that outside this gate, the leader of the soldiers who had been beaten just now was searching around with a large team of men and horses, and someone on the side of the road was pointing out, so he came to this Chunfeng Tower, and blocked several exits outside......
