retaliate

Chapter 45 The Tears of Nanzhou and Chang'an
Southern Zhou.

Yang Lue stood in the yard with Nan He by his side.

"Lang Jun agreed to rebel, no, it's to retaliate." Nan He couldn't hide his joy, "General, when can we return to the Tang Dynasty?"

Yang Lue clenched his right fist, "Wait for the time when Lord Lang shouts."

Nan He raised his head and stretched out his hand.

Hayabusa fell from the sky like lightning and grabbed his arm wrapped in animal skin.

Unfasten the small tube, open it, take out the note and hand it to Yang Lue.

Nan He settled the Hayabusa, and when he came back to see Yang Lue's rare bafflement, he asked, "General, is it wrong?"

"No." Yang Lue said, "Lang Jun has already become a bad handsome."

"So fast?" Nan He couldn't help but be overjoyed, "But who did you ask for help... Mrs. Wang?"

"Lang Jun broke the trap of the Southern Zhou spy and got promoted."

Yang Lue turned around and said, "The deputy general of Jinwuwei, Zhou Yan, failed to grab the credit, so he dispatched sergeants to inspect Chang'an City. As a result... Lang Jun led the people of Guozijian to set up an ambush, killed more than [-] secret spies at the north gate, and intercepted a large amount of gold and silver."

Nan He was stunned, "This..." He immediately jumped for joy, and then felt a little childish, and gave Yang Lue an embarrassed look.

"General..."

He had never seen Yang Lue weak before, but at this moment, the tough general had tears in his eyes.

Yang Lue knelt down at Chang'an, kowtow, kowtow, kowtow...

"Your Majesty, my minister... I live up to my trust!"

……

The grand palace will not make people feel depressing. When you stand outside the palace, a majestic feeling arises spontaneously.

Han Shitou respectfully stood behind the emperor and said in a low voice, "Yancheng's family helped the coffin back to their hometown today, and He Huan of He's family was still lying on the bed... Wannian County and Guozijian joined forces to intercept Nanmen at the north gate. A careful spy, killed more than [-] people, and intercepted a large amount of gold and silver."

The emperor looked at the palace with his hands behind his back, and said indifferently, "He Huan? Yang's dog bites people sharply."

Han Shitou lowered his head slightly and looked at his toes.

"Nanzhou spies come to Chang'an every year... From this point of view, there are probably more than one treasures. They must have succeeded in the past."

The emperor's voice was a little careless, as if those belongings were just a string of copper coins.

"Yes, the bad handsome Yang Xuan of Wannian County..."

Han Shitou's report was interrupted by the emperor's humming.

"Is there any fruit that the imperial concubine said last time?"

Han Shitou replied, "The slaves have been asked to ask, yes, but in the south, it's too far, and I'm afraid it will be broken on the road."

The emperor snorted softly, "Is the inn a decoration?"

Datang post stations are all over the main traffic roads. Each post station has horses and provides messengers to transfer. News from thousands of miles away can quickly reach Chang'an.But there is no precedent for using a post station to deliver fruit.

Han Shitou couldn't help but be stunned, and then responded, "Yes, the slave will go to the Ministry of War later."

"The Ministry of War... Song Zhen is a strong general, a strong general, and a stubborn person. Shade two of Song Zhen's descendants."

"Yes."

A waiter trotted over.

"His Majesty."

The emperor asked, "But is there something wrong with your concubine?"

The maid stood with her hands tied, "The imperial concubine said that the weather is a little hot today, and I am worried that your majesty will be exposed to the sun."

The emperor laughed, "Hahahaha!"

After laughing, the emperor nodded, "Go and see what the imperial concubine is doing!"

Han Shitou said softly, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has come down."

The emperor frowned slightly, turned around, and saw several servants surrounded by the prince Li Jing slowly.

Li Jing was slightly fat, and always had a smile like a spring breeze on his face.

Leaning forward, Li Jing said, "Aye looks a lot more energetic today."

- Aye: Father.

The emperor nodded slightly, looked at him, and asked casually, "What have you been busy with recently?"

Li Jing smiled, "I recently discussed knowledge with several great scholars at home. I was fortunate to be reminded today, otherwise I almost forgot to come and say hello to Aye."

Han Shitou glanced at the prince.

These words imply that he has recently become addicted to learning and cannot extricate himself.

The emperor snorted and said lightly: "Learning can't be wasted in one day. If you have any doubts, you can also go to the Guozijian to ask for advice. That Ning Yayun... I remember being an elegant person."

The prince patted his forehead and said happily: "Aye didn't say that I still forgot, there are quite a few things in metaphysics that are quite enlightening, I will go and see tomorrow, thank you Aye for waking up..."

The emperor turned around, "Go to the imperial concubine."

"Yes." There was a maid leading the way, and Han Shitou followed, inadvertently glanced at the prince.

The prince smiled so joyfully, the gratitude and admiration in his eyes coexisted.

But the concubine Liang Gui, who was favored by the emperor, was the concubine of the prince when he was the king.

Han Shitou turned around and saw a touch of green.

The prince bowed his head, still smiling.

His smile has been maintained to the East Palace.

……

"All right?"

Yancheng's old wife Zhang Shi turned around and asked.

Two sons, two daughters-in-law, and five grandchildren were standing by the carriage.

On the carriage, a thin coffin.

The eldest son said, "Mother, it's alright."

Mrs. Zhang walked to the coffin and gently stroked it. After a long time, she said softly, "Go, I'll accompany you home."

The door opened, and the carriage slowly came out.

The alley is empty, and under the sun, it seems that even the moss in the corner is more nostalgic.

A few grandchildren followed their mother behind, and the two sons guarded the coffin on one side.

The carriage roared, and the footsteps of the family were very light.

The carriage came out of the alley.

The eldest son came over, "Mother, get in the car and sit."

"You, Aye, like to take a walk in the workshop after dinner. Looking at the smoke and people, you feel that this is happiness." Mr. Zhang shook his head, "I'm going up, I'm afraid it will block his sight."

A woman came forward, looked up and saw the family, she was stunned at first, and then shouted at the top of her voice.

"Yan Gong is going home."

The family was stunned, and the eldest daughter-in-law was a little flustered, "Where's the portrait of Aye? Hurry up and take it out, it's said to be helping Ling go home, hurry up..."

She frantically looked for the portrait...

The footsteps came hurriedly from all sides, then slowed down.

As if afraid of waking up.

A man came out of the alley on the side, and behind him, one after another.

There were gradually many people around, a large area of ​​darkness.

The crowd walked slowly and silently.

The eldest daughter-in-law held up a piece of drawing paper in a panic and shouted, "We're just going back to our hometown..."

The front is too crowded, and many people are blocked in the alley.

"It is said that someone smashed the door of Yan's house at night, let's see what it scares the family."

Ahead, Yang Xuan listened silently.

At the entrance of the alley diagonally opposite, Zhao Sanfu was also listening.

"Yan Gong left a suicide note and mentioned a few things... First, farmers who lost their land can be exempted from taxes for five years..."

Land acquisition has become more and more serious, and the population is increasing, so that there is not enough land.More and more people lost their land and fell into extreme poverty.But even so, you still have to pay taxes.So there are more and more escapees.

Why escape?After losing their land and bearing the burden of taxation, they fled to the missing family.

"Second, allow business in the workshop..."

Although many walls of the workshop were torn down and many businesses appeared in the workshop, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, it was illegal to do business in the workshop.Those subordinate officials and evil young masters like to use this reason to extort people who do business in the workshop, and they go to the two counties to file a complaint without giving money.

"Third, the tax on coarse cloth is reduced or exempted."

Who uses coarse cloth?people.Taxes on coarse cloth are reduced or exempted, and it will be cheaper for the common people to buy clothes.

Three seemingly simple suggestions, but all of them are considered for the people.

"There is a censor kneeling outside the palace gate, kowtowing and bleeding. I implore your majesty and the court to do the same...success."

"This Great Tang!" The old man's choking came from behind, "No matter when, someone will always stand up and speak for me."

At this time, Yancheng's eldest daughter-in-law got into the carriage, held up the drawing paper, and shouted, "We're just going home..."

On the drawing paper, Yan Cheng frowned slightly as he looked at these people, as if he hated them and seemed to pity their hardships.

"Yan Gong!"

An old man knelt down.

Yang Xuan patted his chest heavily and lowered his head.

This is the etiquette of seeing off fellow robes in the military.

Diagonally opposite, Zhao Sanfu put his hands together and raised them high.

The crowded crowd slowly knelt down.

"Yan Gong, go all the way!"

The sound was like a tsunami.

Zhang Shi's body swayed, she turned around and slapped the coffin, and said with tears: "They remember you, they still remember you!"
