Chapter 708 What's More
Yang Xuan felt that the civil unrest in Dengzhou had nothing to do with him, so Han Ji said in a low voice, "Mr. Lang, Dengzhou is more than three hundred miles away from northern Xinjiang."

Yang Xuan's heart was moved, and he thought that once the flag was raised for rebellion, it would be hard to tell who would support it and who would oppose it.

If you can win the hearts of the soldiers and civilians in Dengzhou...

Let's get started on this matter!
"Also, iron ore!"

Han Ji seemed to see his boss's tongue dancing in his throat, and took a step back, very respectful.

The official who sent the order knew that the court was not honest, and was worried that Yang Xuan would flatly refuse, so he said: "The news of the civil disturbance in Dengzhou will only come yesterday, today the court discussed with the central government, and many people suggested that the deputy envoy go."

Many people!

Yang Xuan sneered, "Zheng Qi, that old dog who gave birth to a son without dermatitis!"

Ha ha!

Who said no!
The official felt that this matter had nothing to do with him, so he said with a smile: "Please hurry up, the envoy, it is said that...there is a lot of trouble."

Yang Xuan left with the guards.

Ding Chang quietly came to Huang's blacksmith shop, "Your Majesty, the crown prince... died of illness!"

King Wei raised his head and said, "Go!"

He bowed his head and continued to strike iron.

"My lord, this is an opportunity."

"My lord, don't worry!"

"The king of Yue will be in a hurry!"

"The more anxious he is, the more Aye will want to hit him!"

"The king is here!"

"If he is smart, he should borrow less from Yang Songcheng's influence, otherwise...know why the prince died?"

Ding Chang shook his head, "This old slave doesn't know."

"Just because he is Yang Songcheng's grandson!"

Ding Chang was taken aback.

"Husband!"

Huang Damei's voice came from outside, and Ding Chang hurried out to avoid it.

"Big buttocks make it easy to give birth. Your Majesty has found a good woman this time. However, it would be even better if she was bigger." Ding Chang was wondering where there are women with big buttocks, so he found a concubine for King Wei.

"I'll have Lengtao for lunch, and I'll make you mutton soup..."

"Ok!"

"For dinner, I make pancakes, mutton soup and pickles."

"Ok!"

"I'm going to the kitchen, take a break if you have time."

"Ok!"

Dangdang Dangdang!
The voice in the blacksmith shop remained the same.

After Zhou Qin heard the news of the prince's death at home, he sneered and said, "The emperor killed his own son, which is a must in the history books!"

The old servant said, "Ah Lang, I didn't see it!"

Zhou Qin was holding the birdcage, with one hand behind his back, "A lot of times, you don't need to see, just..." He pointed to his head, "Think for yourself."

"Aon!"

Zhou Xin came in.

"Your brother-in-law is gone?"

"People from the court ordered my brother-in-law to go to Dengzhou, saying that it is a civil disturbance, and let my brother-in-law suppress it!"

Zhou Qin was carrying the birdcage and was about to smash it. The bird probably sensed that something was wrong, so he hurriedly chirped obsequiously.

Zhou Qin held back, but the hand holding the handle of the birdcage was throbbing with veins.

"Zitai will be the deputy envoy of Jiedu. What he should do at this moment is win over the hearts of the soldiers and civilians in northern Xinjiang. This will make him suppress the civil unrest... the more he kills, the worse Zitai's public opinion will be! Gan Niniang !"

……

mirror stage.

Zhao Sanfu and Wang Shou are discussing things.

Today's Zhao Sanfu is no longer that little transparent, almost on an equal footing with Wang Shou.

Wang Shou put down the paper in his hand, "There are a lot of refugees in Dengzhou, but Zhu Nian refused to help them. Some rioters, Lu Er, rose up to rebel. This matter... I'm afraid we have already come out, but Zhu Nian wants to cover it up."

Happy New Year, Governor of Dengzhou.

Zhao Sanfu picked it up and looked at it, "In recent years, there have been more and more refugees."

Wang Shou smiled, "The imperial court asked Yang Xuan to suppress it. The famous Deputy Envoy Yang killed a lot of people from different races. I don't know how many capitals he will build when he goes to Dengzhou this time."

Zhao Sanfu was silent.

He thought of the oath he and Yang Xuan made when they stood on the top of Chang'an City in the early morning, looking at the smoke from the kitchen.

I want to protect these pyrotechnics, but now, the pyrotechnics are gradually withering.

Zitai, kill less people!

……

Ning Xing, when the emperor's coffin was pulled into the city by the carriage, the emperor's uncle knelt down and cried loudly.

Changling knelt behind him, raised his head, and wept silently.

"Ah!" Uncle Huang howled.

It contrasts sharply with Changling's silence.

Later, everyone welcomed the spirit into the city.

He Lianhong walked to Changling's side, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty knew about his body before he set off..."

"Prince?" Changling asked.

He Lianhong was silent.

Chang Ling put his hand on the carriage, "Father, it's finally gone!"

Tears rolled down his face.

Silent mourning is the most touching. He Lianhong persuaded: "If you want to cry, just cry."

Changling shook his head, "Father once said that I am not in a hurry, and when he goes away, I will definitely cry silently. I also want to cry out loud and tell him that you are wrong. But I... "

She shook her head.

Slowly looked up at the sky.

Open up.

"Father, the soul is back!"

……

Dengzhou.

Dengzhou is mountainous.There are many mountains, but there are few fields. Therefore, Dengzhou has a small population since Chen State.

The land can't support so many people, and those who are left will either become refugees or do other things.

In early spring, the mountains in Dengzhou are still gray, and the trees have not yet sprouted buds.

The same is true for Dingdong, where the state is located.

In the prefecture, Zhu Nian, the governor of Dengzhou, in his 30s and [-]s, was drinking tea, and sitting next to him was Biejia Fangshuo.

Taking a sip of tea, Zhu Nian raised his eyes, and his fair face felt a little more comfortable, "Spring is here, but there is still no food in the mountains, that rebel Lu Er must be starving to death!"

Fang Shuo put down his teacup, wiped his beard, and said, "My lord, it looks like it will rain today. The spring rain is lingering. Once it continues, the life in the mountains will not be better. The cold can kill people. There is no food. Not wearing..."

Zhu Nian sneered, "That dog thief, a hundred deaths will not atone for his crime."

Fang Shuo also gritted his teeth and said, "He was already locked up in the mountain. I didn't expect that dog thief to use a path that we didn't know to go down the mountain and approach Dingdong, causing panic. Otherwise, how could Chang'an know about this!"

Zhu Nian held the teacup's hand, his knuckles turned white, and his eyes became fierce, "In Chang'an, everything that needs to be unblocked has been unblocked."

Fang Shuo put down his teacup, looked outside the door, turned his head, and said softly, "I'm afraid those rich people won't do their best."

"Relax!" Zhu Nian said flatly: "They are also in this whirlpool, saving us is saving themselves."

"If the Zhao family can make a move..." Fang Shuo held the teacup to cover his face, "Look at what the old man said. The Zhao family is a legendary family in the hearts of northern scholars, how could they make a move for us?"

"The Zhao family in Dengzhou is just a branch of the Zhao family, and the main branch is still in Lu County in northern Xinjiang." Zhu Nian said quietly: "Don't worry about this matter. Legends, saints, also want to eat human fireworks!"

Fang Shuo was startled, "You mean..."

"Old man, you didn't say anything." Before the ridicule in Zhu Nian's eyes dissipated, he changed the subject, "I don't know who will come from Chang'an."

"The civil unrest, the military department should dispatch troops to suppress it." Fang Shuo said, "I have an old acquaintance in the military department, and I have already sent a letter to inquire."

"I have thought about all the generals that Chang'an can mobilize." Zhu Younian said with a smile, "Here we come, good wine and good food."

"Good wine and good food are not enough." Fang Shuo felt that he was too optimistic.

"It's not a beggar, Chang'an came with high vision! The old man knows." Zhu Nian said indifferently: "When the time comes, please invite Zhao Li, the Patriarch of the Zhao Clan, to accompany you. Who doesn't respect the Patriarch of the Zhao Clan?"

Shijun has friendship with Mrs. Zhao, but keeps it from the old man... Fang Shuo smiled a little reluctantly, "That's it, worry-free!"

Zhu Nian smiled and said: "The Zhao family is a big family in the north with an outstanding reputation. Such a big family cherishes feathers the most. The old man has friendship with the Zhao family. It's hard to say, you can't say it. Lao Fang."

Fang Shuo's eyelids twitched a few times, suppressing his jealousy, "Mr.

"Such things require stability." Zhu Nianyu said earnestly: "You, you can't grasp it!"

Fang Shuo's heart became more and more sour, Zhu Nian couldn't help smiling when he saw his uncomfortable expression, "Zhao Lixi talks about poetry, but you are not good at it."

Fang Shuo took a deep breath, "What the Shijun said is true."

"We are all on the same line, we share weal and woe." Zhu Nian comforted, "If it wasn't for this, how could the old man tell you about his friendship with Mrs. Zhao?"

——Don't be so shameless, if you beep again, the old man will turn his back on you!
Fang Shuodui said with a smile: "You are so talented, I admire you so much, I admire you from the bottom of my heart!"

A small official appeared outside the door, "Master, the person who inquired about the news has returned."

"Let him come."

Zhu Nian and Fang Shuo looked at each other and smiled.

A dusty man entered the duty room and saluted.

Fang Shuo said impatiently: "Don't mess with these red tapes, say, who did Chang'an send, but a famous general?"

The man looked up, "It's Yang Xuan."

"Who?"

Fang Shuo exclaimed.

"Yang Xuan."

Fang Shuo's expression turned ugly, "It turned out to be this vicious dog. The terrible thing is...we don't have friendship with him. He's here, what should we do?"

"Calm down!" Zhu Nian glanced at the little official, who bowed his hands and resigned.

"Idiot!" Zhu Nian scolded with an ugly face: "There are people around, and you dare to talk about it!"

Fang Shuo did not say that he was frightened just now, "He is also one of us, what are you afraid of?"

"Many things, the less people know, the better." Zhu Nian asked the man, "How far is Yang Xuan from Dengzhou?"

The man said, "Thirty miles."

"Slave dog!" Fang Shuo's face flushed, "He must have rushed here as soon as he got the order. We have no grievances or enmities with him, why are you so aggressive?"

"Shut up!" Zhu Nian pointed at him, and then asked, "How many troops did he bring?"

"It's less than two hundred rides."

Fang Shuo felt relieved, "It's okay, it's okay!"

"What did the old man say? Calm down!" Zhu Nian said calmly: "So what if he comes? Could it be a world-shattering thing? There is no evidence for those things, what are we afraid of? Huh?"

"The old man was frightened by his reputation." Fang Shuo said frankly, "In the Northern Xinjiang War, he led the Chenzhou Army to defeat the Northern Liao Linya Army, and the Chenzhou Army was also known as the number one force in Northern Xinjiang. The name of a person, tree shadow!"

"That's a fight, just hack and kill. But the Dengzhou incident is a cobweb with intertwined roots. Even if the masters from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment come together, I won't be afraid. Not to mention Yang Gou!"

Zhu Nian raised his water glass and took a sip, "If he is polite, then there will be exchanges."

"What if he's rude!?"

Zhu Nian smiled reservedly, "This is not northern Xinjiang."

The man slapped his forehead, "I forgot to mention that Yang Xuan is now the deputy envoy of Beijiang Jiedu."

Fang Shuo: "..."

Zhu Nian was also stunned for a moment, "Calm down, the old man said, this is not northern Xinjiang, not his territory. To put it bluntly, when a dragon comes, he has to coil up. When a tiger comes, he has to lie down. Not to mention a dog. !"

……

The next morning.

Yang Xuan walked slowly along the official road with more than a hundred riders.

After entering the boundary of Dengzhou, the group slowed down.

Dengzhou is mountainous, and beasts can be seen passing through the road from time to time along the way. Some small beasts are bold enough to stop in front of them and look at the group of people curiously.

"It's a rabbit!"

Uda shot an arrow and knocked the rabbit to the ground.

A guard galloped forward and bent over to pick up the hare.

"Baked and eaten!" Wang Lao Er was hungry.

The old thief shook his head, "No, it's better to stew it."

"It's stewed with a strong smell!"

The two argued endlessly.

A few people carried farm tools and hid from the side, lowering their heads in fear.

Yang Xuan reined in his horse suddenly, "Ask."

Han Ji got off his horse and went over to find an older man, "Old man is going to the field!"

The old man raised his head and said with an apologetic smile, "Yes, yes!"

Han Ji asked with a smile, "Is there enough food in the house to feed the crops that are so scarce this season?"

"Enough to eat!" The old man laughed anxiously.

Yang Xuan got off his horse and came over, Han Ji hurriedly introduced, "My lord, Yang Xuan, deputy envoy of Northern Xinjiang Jiedu, was ordered to deal with the civil unrest in Dengzhou this time."

The old man bent down to salute, and was supported by Yang Xuan, "Don't break my life!"

The old man stood up, "Don't dare!"

Yang Xuan got straight to the point, "I just wanted to ask how the people in Dengzhou are doing. You said it, and I'll leave after hearing it. By the way, old thief."

Yang Xuan stretched out his hand, and the old thief came out with a piece of silver, Yang Xuan shook his head, "This is a disaster, I want copper coins."

The old thief took out a bunch of copper coins and handed them over. The old man glanced at it, his eyes were eager to try, but he didn't dare to take it in the end.

"You take it and go, and I will go too. The road is facing the sky, and each side will go half way." Yang Xuan took the copper coin and handed it to the old man.

The old man gave way a few times, and handed the copper coin to the young man behind him: "The third one hasten to go to the field first."

The young man glanced at him and refused to leave, but the old man kicked him away, "Xiong, get out!"

When the young people are gone, the old people are willing to say, "It's hard!"

"How hard?" Yang Xuan knelt down, motioning for the old man to do the same.

The old man looked ahead and said worriedly: "Every day at this time, the officials in the city will come out to investigate."

"People are not afraid of ghosts, they are afraid of officials. This place in Dengzhou is evil!" Yang Xuan pointed to the front, "Official roads are blocked."

"Leader!"

Zhang Xu took his men and beat the horses away.

The old man was taken aback, and after a while, he continued: "The taxes collected are ruthless! If you don't pay them, then..."

Later, Yang Xuan helped the old man get up, "You go, I will go too, don't worry, I won't come looking for you again!"

The old man bowed gratefully, and then went south with a few farmers.

Yang Xuan and the others went all the way to Dingdong City, and it didn't take long to see several officials arguing with Zhang Xu and the others.

"Where are you waiting? Get off your horse and stand still, with your hands raised!" The following servant was holding a ruler, with a look of madness that the emperor would have to kneel even when the emperor came.

Zhang Xu just blocked the official way and said nothing.

Yang Xuanze came over.

An official looked up, "Where did it come from?"

With a movement of Yang Xuan's hand, the whip flashed.

The rampant little official covered his face and howled miserably.

"Bold!"

Several officials immediately became furious.

Yang Xuan held the whip, "Yeah Yang Xuan, tell Zhu Nian that Yeye will see him here within half an hour.

He doesn't have to come! "
