Chapter 1385 Betting Around
"Anyone who is willing to quit their citizenship can sign up."

Several sergeants escorted a small official into the village.

The villagers looked at them numbly, a few young people were eager to try, and someone raised their hands, "The villain is willing."

"Come on." The little official waved, and the sergeant behind him said, "Your Highness said, anyone who escapes is His Highness's subjects. Whoever dares to touch His Highness's subjects, let's try."

"What can His Highness do?" the woman asked.

The sergeant said: "Will you know about Jingguan?"

These villagers have never even been to the county seat on weekdays, so how do they know.

"I don't know."

"Jingguan is the mountain of corpses!" The sergeant said, "The tallest one is comparable to mountains."

"Mountain of corpses? God!"

The crowd exclaimed.

"To be the enemy of His Highness, you must have the consciousness to lie in the mountain of corpses!"

"Then...that slave may be exiled?"

the woman asked.

The husband beside him whispered, "A mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood! What a ruthless King Qin!"

"That's cruel to the enemy, but it's good to us." The woman raised her hand, "I like it."

"Come." The little official waved.

The woman went out and turned around, "Husband, Da Lang, eldest lady, second lady, come here."

The man hesitated for a moment, but the three children went out, he gritted his teeth, "That's all."

Gradually, more people signed up.

Someone asked: "My lord, after I quit my citizenship, I don't know how to make a living."

"Yes! We have been farming for our family all our lives, and we have never been out of the house a few times."

The little official smiled and said, "Your Highness has already made preparations. Outside the customs, there are large tracts of unowned fertile land in both the north and the south. You can choose where you want to move."

"That villain is willing to quit his citizenship."

After the end, about [-]% of the people are willing to quit their citizenship, and less than [-]% of the people choose to stay.

Their ancestors were all slaves of the master's family, and they have long been used to being cattle and horses.

Looking at those numb people, the little official shook his head, "This is fate!"

Cao Ying personally manipulated the situation, Zhang Xu led the army to suppress it, and the remaining big clans in Guanzhong did not move.

In a restaurant in Chang'an.

A group of men were sitting in the lobby, the man at the top stroked his beard and said in a deep voice:

"The Prince of Qin slapped me from across the air before entering Chang'an."

"How am I supposed to wait?"

"Go!"

"Idiot! Your Majesty is far away in Sichuan, how can we fight those tiger and wolf masters?"

"We have been in Guanzhong for hundreds of years. When did we ever make a move? Besides, in many cases, people who don't know what it means can be chilled in their hearts without doing it."

"Yes, we must not give that person a handle."

The man at the head said: "Most of the aristocratic families, the powerful and powerful are in the Shu region. Write to them immediately and ask them to come back. Just say... If you don't come back...their roots will be gone."

……

"21."

Here are the final numbers.

Cao Ying held the brochure and asked, "How many people are willing to quit their citizenship?"

"More than [-]%."

The official looked up, "Most people dare not leave their citizenship."

"Man!"

Cao Ying sighed, "This is His Highness's first attack on the big clan in Guanzhong, and it is also a test. Unfortunately, there are fewer people."

"How about..." the official said, "Agitate again?"

"It's too late." Cao Ying said: "After all, in this world, those people are still powerful."

He took the document and said, "Report to His Highness right away."

……

"There are problems in the whole Tang Dynasty."

In Yuezhou, Li Xuangang came back from inspecting the army and drank tea with Cao Ying and He Lianrong.

Li Xuan took a sip of his tea and said, "Local officials and magnates colluded with each other to slaughter the common people. The imperial power does not go to the countryside."

"Your Highness, this is the structure for many years." Han Ji said: "The location is so convenient."

"When you get to the top, you will be the powerful families and powerful families. These forces are extremely huge. They join hands with each other to compete with the emperor. If the emperor is tyrannical, he will become a puppet if he fails, and his will will not be able to leave the imperial city."

Li Xuan thought of another world, and said with a sneer, "If you don't move, it won't be long before Datang will be on the verge of death again. If you move, those people will rebound..."

"Knowing that there is no doubt that he will die, but he can only drink poison to quench his thirst and choose to cooperate with these forces." He Lianrong said: "This is the emperor's helplessness. His Highness took action this time, and the poor monk thought that those people would rebound."

"I don't understand, Your Highness could have waited until the south to defeat Shi Zhongtang, why..."

Han Ji didn't understand what Li Xuan was anxious about.

"False emperor and his son entered the land of Shu, followed by aristocratic families, powerful and powerful, with great momentum, the officials and people of Shu land dare not slack off." Li Xuan said calmly: "But what if those people come back?"

"The false emperor and his son will be alone." Han Ji said with a smile, "Your Highness's move is wonderful. It can not only test the big families in Guanzhong, but also weaken the false emperor. It kills two birds with one stone!"

If it weren't for this, Li Xuan would enter the customs with a full stomach.

He looked at the map, "Be prepared, as soon as the rain stops, you must prepare to go south."

……

The false emperor has already entered the land of Shu.

The officials along the way immediately knelt down when they saw the mighty people behind him.

"I have seen Your Majesty."

"Prepare food and grass."

"Yes."

The emperor is still the majestic emperor, and no one in Shu dares to slack off.

Sitting on the horseback, Li Mi looked quite majestic.

Looking at those respectful soldiers, civilians and officials, he said to Han Shitou smugly: "This is a beginning. I will train soldiers in Shu, and wait for the opportunity to destroy that evil seed."

"Your Majesty is wise." Han Shitou praised.He looked at the back of the false emperor's neck for a long time.

Later, the emperor went to find Yang Songcheng to discuss matters, and Han Shitou got off his horse to rest when he was free.

Second Sun came to him, "Hey! Why did you look at the back of the old dog's neck earlier?"

"We were wondering how we could cut off his head with one knife."

……

Second Sun was taken aback. "That's something His Highness can do."

Who doesn't want to be happy and enmity?

But the master is not here.

"Yes!" Han Shitou felt a little regretful, "We have been enduring, and sometimes we can't bear it anymore, so we pinch our palms."

He opened his hand, and there were deep nail prints on the palm.

Second Sun shook his head, "I'm afraid it would be unbearable if we were by the old dog's side. By the way, is there any news from His Highness?"

"It is said that it is preparing to go south." Han Shitou said: "If His Highness can destroy Shi Ni, it will be the hope of all, and the revival of the Tang Dynasty."

"Emperor Zhongxing, that is second only to the founding emperor!" Sun Lao Er was very happy.

……

"Can the head of the state get some of the manpower in Guanzhong to come to Shu?"

The emperor and Yang Songcheng drink tea together.

Yang Songcheng's face was calm, "Your Majesty doesn't know, after those evil people entered Guanzhong, they guarded it very strictly. Especially in the direction of Shu..."

The emperor said a few words casually, and then got tired of talking.

"My minister retire."

After leaving the emperor's residence, Chun Yushan and others were waiting outside.

"But something?"

Yang Songcheng sneered and said, "He wants Yang's manpower, does he really think that this old man is a fool?"

Zheng Qi said: "Then I won't give it."

"No." Yang Songcheng shook his head, "I will."

Zheng Qi: "..."

"Everyone can go back to Guanzhong, only the old man can't." Yang Songcheng said: "The old man has fought against that scoundrel many times, and the hatred between each other can't be solved. If this is the case, at any rate, we must gather popularity for His Majesty."

"But I won't give it to him at this moment." Yang Songcheng said: "If there is...the Yang family for a thousand years, it cannot be destroyed in the hands of the old man."

He glanced at Chun Yushan, both of them had grudges with Li Xuan.

"I won't go to Guanzhong," Chun Yushan said.

"Okay." Yang Songcheng said: "The old man has already gone to Xin's home, so that Dalang will take over the Yang family."

This is the way the aristocratic families deal with the crisis.

Chun Yushan said: "It's the same with the old man."

Yang Songcheng's eldest son was Yang Xinxiang, but his second son died at the hands of King Wei.

Chunyushan's eldest son is Chunyudian, who is in Guanzhong at the moment.

……

"Mr. Cao, Mrs. Yang is here."

Cao Ying was confused when she received the news, and led her out of the imperial city.

outside the imperial city,
Yang Xinxiang saluted respectfully, "Your Majesty is very grateful to learn that His Highness will lead an army to the south to suppress the rebellion. This old man is incompetent and cannot fight for His Highness, that's all I have."

He pointed behind him.

The motorcade is mighty.

The cart is full of food.

Cao Ying narrowed her eyes, "I need to ask His Highness for instructions."

"There's another convoy coming."

This time it was Chunyu's team, led by the new Patriarch Chunyudian.

"This is Chunyu's wish."

Everyone in Chang'an saw it and were amazed.

"It turned out that they were enemies with the King of Qin, and the Yingchuan Yang family was even humiliated by His Highness. This is... a reversal."

"He who knows current affairs is a hero!"

"So much food."

……

"Your Highness, there are 4 horses in Guanzhong."

Zhang Xu moved very quickly. He recruited [-] warriors from those who had escaped from citizenship, and they are now practicing.

"it is good!"

This is not only the benefit of 4 more horses, but also symbolic.Li Xuan was very happy, "Praise Cao Ying. Also, spread the news everywhere."

This is a weather vane, telling the world: Guanzhong surrendered.

Bao Dong is best at fooling around like this, so he immediately set off with people.

"Your Highness, please see someone from Chang'an."

Cao Ying's envoy has arrived.

"Your Highness, the heads of the Yang family and the Chunyu family have both changed."

"Oh!" Li Xuan said sarcastically, "Where did you have the guts back then?"

"The Yang family and the Chunyu family donated a large amount of grain and grass, and many big families followed suit. Now Chang'an has a lot of grain and grass."

The envoy said: "Mr. Cao dare not make a claim, so he ordered the officials to come and ask Your Highness for instructions."

"If the False Emperor had food and grass back then, he would not have forced Dou Chong to go out to fight Shi Ni. The lack of food caused Dou Chong to be defeated, and the False Emperor fled. Now, these people volunteered to donate food. It is really embarrassing! "

Han Ji sighed.

He Lianrong said: "At this moment, at that moment. At this moment, His Highness is mighty, like an unstoppable tide. Aristocratic families can survive for hundreds of years, or even thousands of years, not only relying on money, but brains and choices."

Han Ji nodded, "Change the head of the family first, and then donate food. This is not only a sign of weakness, but also a gesture of submission. Presumably, the people who donate food are the most crowded before the imperial city."

The messenger said, "Exactly."

This is mobilizing public opinion.

Behold!

The Yang family and the Chunyu family admitted their failure, and were willing to submit to the King of Qin, and offered to donate food.

Reach out and don't hit the smiling face!

He Lianrong asked: "Do you want to accept this batch of money and food?"

Accepting it means acknowledging the support of Yang and Chunyu.

"I just thought of a story."

Li Xuan put down the document in his hand and told the story.

When the boss tells stories, everyone naturally listens carefully.

The envoy was overjoyed to see that King Qin did not avoid him.

"In ancient times, there was the Han Dynasty. Hundreds of years later, the Han Dynasty declined, and three forces rose up, Wei, Shu and Wu. Zhuge was melancholy and didn't know which side to take refuge in. Later, he thought of a good way...to make the three sons One person goes to vote for one side."

——Li Xuan changed the story of the Zhuge family, for example, said that Zhuge Dan, the younger brother of the clan in Cao Wei, was a real brother, but the general pattern was still maintained.

"Good method!" Han Jizan said: "This is such a good arrangement, but these three sons must be outstanding."

Not really.

The three sons of the Zhuge family are all great.

"Yang's and Chunyu's playing with Gu..."

Be punished!

The messenger almost wanted to say this.

But desperately held back.

"If the Gu is not accepted, wouldn't he be ashamed of Yang Songcheng and Chun Yushan?" Li Xuan said with a smile, "Tell Cao Ying that I will accept it."

"Yes!"

The messenger leaves.

Han Ji said: "If you don't accept it, the public opinion will be bad, saying that His Highness can't tolerate people."

Li Xuan shook his head, "Why did Gu care about this?"

"Then..." Han Ji was puzzled.

Li Xuan didn't explain either.

Later, after finishing his business, he got up and moved his body.

"Your Highness." Jiang He'er was full of curiosity and couldn't help asking: "What happened to the third son of the Zhuge family?"

"You are the smartest!" Li Xuan laughed.

"The Kingdom of Shu is destroyed."

"The state of Wu is destroyed."

"Then there is another one in Wei!" Jiang He'er praised, "Zhuge is really smart."

"Yeah! There's also one from Wei Guo."

People always like a happy ending.If you can't have a happy reunion, it's okay to settle for the second best... Jiang He'er was overjoyed.

Li Xuan shook his head, breaking her fantasy.

"The minister Sima who revolted against power in Wei State was executed!"
