Shu Blossoms

Chapter 92
Emperor Zhou suddenly thought of something, looked at the ministers and said: "Those children in the capital, those who have military positions, must participate in the defense of the city. Wang Qing and the generals can watch and arrange for them. Those kids have been training for a while, and tomorrow all those over the age of 15 will go to the army to report.”

As soon as these words came out, the courtroom suddenly churned like boiling water, especially the elders of Liu Erlang's group of sons and brothers, they were simply terrified.

Liu Shilang first stepped forward and cried, "Report to Your Majesty, although the child is stubborn, he is not guilty of death, and since His Majesty's reprimand, he has changed his ways."

Zhou Di's face became more gloomy when he heard the words, and he interrupted Liu Shilang's cry loudly: "When did I say that I want to let him die!"

"Your Majesty, they are all still children, so don't they join the army to fight?"

Although Liu Shilang was captured by Emperor Zhou's power, his beloved son's heart was so strong that he had the courage to refute it.

Although the other named ministers did not agree, the expressions on their faces agreed.

"According to Liu Qing's opinion, all those who have just turned fifteen in the military camp are still children. They join the army to die?"

Emperor Zhou stood up and asked sternly, "My nephew is only fifteen, and now he is serving in the Guards. He has experienced life and death on the battlefield several times, and this time he will also participate in the defense of the city. Children are precious, and other people's families are born to work for you!"

"Why does Dawei have strong soldiers and strong horses, because they all grew up on horseback, regardless of gender, age, and child, and Erlang joined the army at a very young age. Let's look at Jiankang today, what are those talented people who are smeared and pouted to be romantic!"

"Today I tell you that Jiankang will win this battle, but none of the people here can enjoy the victory of the soldiers' bloody battle with peace of mind!"

"Today, I can promise you and all the people of Jiankang City that as long as someone makes a contribution to defending the city, they will be rewarded regardless of their status! In Qin Dynasty, there were princes and generals Xiangning and seeds, and today there is General Han, Sun Xicheng, one of them was a pig butcher and the other was a dung picker, but at this time you can only enjoy wealth and wealth here because of this butcher. Today's opportunity to make a fortune is in front of you, as long as you have the courage, you can become them !"

There was silence in the main hall of Xianyang Palace at this time, and all the ministers looked at each other in dismay.
Although the first emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty started at the end of the world, and even promoted a large number of children from the poor family, most of the courtiers in the court were still from the gentry.

In the past, Emperor Zhou had well concealed his attitude towards the nobility for the sake of the balance of the court. Today, he appointed Wang Can, who was born in the Wang clan of Langya, as the defender of the city. Why did he suddenly say these words excitedly? Cause Wang Can's dissatisfaction?

Everyone couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Wang Can, but saw that he was not only not dissatisfied at this time, but had a faint smile on his face.

Then everyone saw Wang Can standing straight in front of the hall and solemnly bowing to Emperor Zhou: "I thank your Majesty for the people of Jiankang City, and this minister will surely pass on His Majesty's love for the people in the world to Jiankang and even Da Zhou. all the people."

Some sly and cunning old ministers heard what Wang Can said and vaguely understood the meaning of it. The Zhou Emperor was simply teaching his ministers because of his anger.
As long as Wang Can promotes this special holy purpose in Jiankang City, the people of Jiankang City will rush to join the army to serve the country and make contributions.

Jiankang City is full of gentry, and there are many people. It would not be an exaggeration to say that all the people ran into the streets.

As long as all children over the age of 15 join the army according to Emperor Zhou's request just now, it will not be a problem to increase the number of defenders in Jiankang City by tens of thousands.

Not to mention the hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Jiankang City, what many people lack is the opportunity to stand out, and even the people who are helpless can defend the city for a few more days.

For a while, the ministers exchanged glances again, each with a deep meaning.

Zhou Di ignored what these old foxes thought, Gao Han hurried back from the outside, looked solemn, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Because Zhou Di has always had a solemn expression, except for the barely noticeable pupil shrinkage, he can't see any other changes.

But obviously he didn't have the patience to deal with all the ministers here, and said: "The next thing, Wang Qing will arrange it properly, and report it directly to me!"

Then left Xianyang Palace directly.

After leaving the Xianyang Palace, Zhou Di asked, "Where did you find it?"

"It's in Qixia Temple, and it's next to the courtyard the county master said. Obviously, the county master heard someone talking, and one of them was Xie Sheng."

Zhou Di nodded, no wonder the girl was brooding about the name Mingzhi. The girl had seen Xie Sheng before and heard him speak. Naturally, she felt that the person who spoke that day was both familiar and unfamiliar, so she kept thinking about it.

"Have you seen the Mingzhi that the county master said? Is it him?"

Zhou Di asked again, obviously he was more interested in this Mingzhi.

Gao Han shook his head, "The person sent has already interrogated the monks in the temple. There was a man who lived in the temple for a few days, but he didn't stay for a long time and left after a few days. And that person obviously didn't want to be taken People can recognize it, and the beard on the face is obviously covered."

After listening to this, Emperor Zhou thought for a moment, and then instructed Gao Han: "The people in Qixia Temple should take care of them, but don't cause panic. Xie Sheng brought him back to the capital to look like he didn't want to let him die and run away. Don't worry about the rest!"

When Gao Han heard the words, he bent down to lead the order and left again in a hurry, and Zhou Emperor was only accompanied by a small servant.

Although there are still many things that have not been settled clearly, Emperor Zhou felt very tired at this time, and after thinking about it, he went straight to the Queen's Palace.

After a day of arguing endlessly, Emperor Zhou gave a quick order, and the palace was temporarily stabilized.

But with this extremely provocative oral decree of Zhou Emperor, the whole Jiankang City boiled!
The people of Jiankang rushed out of their homes and came to the streets to tell their stories. They even forgot their panic when they heard that the rebels were about to attack Jiankang this morning. People who had already planned to sell their money and flee to Yangzhou also hesitated. stand up.

His Majesty said that Jiankang City would win, and His Majesty said that whoever made meritorious deeds in the battle of defending the city would be rewarded on merit, and His Majesty specially sent people to supervise this matter.

Even slaves, as long as their credit is great enough, His Majesty can forgive their slave status, and their children and grandchildren can also be innocent people!

The happiest are those young men who are not afraid of tigers. They even see themselves who will be promoted to rank, honor their ancestors and honor their ancestors in the future.

Everyone subconsciously forgets that war will bleed and sacrifice.

Many old gentry in Jiankang City didn't realize it either. They ran to Wang Can and asked him if he was crazy!
