People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 359 Monitor the Quartet and win over the hearts of the people

The morning light is faint, and the corners of the eaves meet.

There are slits in the window, and the spring is revealed.

Li Xuan, who was wearing a white underwear, stood in the middle of the bedroom with her arms outstretched.

Hu Ling'er was wearing a loose white gown, standing beside Li Xuan, draping the crimson official gown on his body with quick hands and feet.

Then he knelt on the ground and carefully hung the blue jade around his waist.

Li Xuan lowered her head slightly, her graceful figure was all in front of her eyes, charming and thin, plump and graceful.

It seems that there is a rolling green mountain in front of you, which looks like a ridge when viewed horizontally and a peak when viewed from the side.

Lifting her pretty face, the charming girl's eyes were full of youthfulness.

Red apricot daisy, truly beautiful.

……

Opening the curtain and walking out from the inner room, Xiong Yan was already standing aside, holding a golden-threaded and black-sheathed Eight-Faced Han Sword in his hand.

Li Xuan held the blade of the sword smoothly, and said casually: "Li Mo and Li Zhu will go eastward with me, and I will leave the city to you. Up and down, inside and out, all movements will be monitored by me. Stop." A stern look flashed in Li Xuan's eyes.

After Fang Yunxiu died, Wuzhou did not immediately enjoy peace.

He Lao, the head of the four elders of Tianyin Sect, kept appearing by his side, and gave Li Xuan a resounding slap in the face.

Even he himself may be assassinated by others at any time, let alone others.

Once all the high-level military and political leaders in Wuzhou were killed, all the situations would be reversed in an instant.

If possible, Li Xuan still hoped to stay in Zhoucheng to stabilize the situation, but it was not possible.

Because for the emperor, the most important thing is not Wuzhou, not the people, but taxes.

Either Li Xuan continued to stay in Daizhou City, allowing the Tianyin Sect to riot in various places, and Xia Harvest was in crisis.

Either he took some risks himself, patrolled the four directions, and stabilized the summer harvest.

Li Xuan could only choose the latter.

Li Xuan didn't want to give Tianyin Sect any chance, once Xia Shou was in crisis, then Tianyin Sect also had the possibility of a complete comeback.

As for the Tianyin Sect and even the assassination of He Lao, Li Xuan was already prepared to deal with it.

The other party appeared in front of him once, and after that, it was even more difficult to succeed than reaching the sky.

Li Xuan toured the counties this time, besides the Tianyin Sect, he also wanted to see the situation of the major families in Wuzhou.

They are the forces that hold the most land in Wuzhou.

"My lord, don't worry, my subordinates know what to do." Xiong Yan nodded seriously, with a serious look on his face.

He can be regarded as half of Li Mo's deputy, and Xiong Yan is also no stranger to Li Mo's subordinate Huibu.

"In case there is any situation that cannot be dealt with, please contact there directly, and the king will come back in time."

Li Xuan glanced at the back subconsciously, and then said: "Since Fang Yunxiu's death, although the power of Wuzhou Tianyin Sect has been severely damaged, his real power is now hidden deeper because of his early withdrawal.

They are the absolute main force to seize Wuzhou City. Only when they are completely cleaned up can Wuzhou be truly peaceful. "

"Yes!" Xiong Yan bowed his head submissively, taking it seriously in his heart.

"There is another place you should pay attention to, and that is the grain depot. Once something happens to the grain depot, no matter what, all our forces will be mobilized to blockade the entire Wuzhou. There is no need to wait for the king's order. But if there are rebels, it will be conspiracy .”

"Here!" Xiong Yan stepped back slightly
Li Xuan strode towards the door.

At this time, the morning light is getting brighter and brighter, but the struggle of all parties has entered a new stage from now on.

The power of Tianyin Sect in Wuzhou is actually divided into three parts.

The first is the elite of the general altar who came down from the mountain; the second is the strength of the Wuzhou Branch Church itself;

Up to now, Li Xuan had only killed the last one.

For the other two aspects, Li Xuan did not do much.

……

Beside the courtyard gate, Li Zhu followed Li Xuan silently.

At the same time, a note was handed to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan took the note, opened it, glanced at it, and immediately a sneer appeared on his face.

"Qian Qilang secretly meets Chen Ming."

There are not many words, but the matter is definitely not small.

Qian Zhuo and Tianyin Sect had a secret connection, and now, Qian Zhuo and Chen Ming were connected with each other again.

Qian Zhuo is one of the four great aristocratic families in Wuzhou, while Chen Ming is the head of the headhunters in Wuzhou.

The two of them had colluded for a long time.

If one falls, both of them will fall, and even countless people will be involved...

Putting away the note, Li Xuan strode out.

Qianniuwei, who was more than ten meters long in red and gold armor, was riding on a tall horse, while Li Xuan got directly into the large black-framed carriage.

There was Elder He who would spy on him at any time, so he didn't dare to be careless.

The carriage wobbled towards the state government, but Li Xuan gently closed her eyes at this time.

He needs to think carefully about the chain reaction that may occur if there is a problem with Chen Ming's headhunter.

Suddenly, Li Xuan's eyes snapped open, and a stern look flashed in his eyes.

No, Qin Ming is in danger.

Last night, Chen Ming's deputy Xiang Xiang was arrested, and now it has been confirmed that Chen Ming himself has huge problems.

Chen Ming and Fang Xiang are both subordinates of Facao. In this way, it would be immediately dangerous for Wuzhou Facao to join the army, and Qin Ming, who was with Facao to join the army, would also be directly affected.

Or, Fa Cao's joining the army itself is really problematic.

In this way, Qin Ming will immediately fall into crisis.

A note came out of the carriage immediately, and soon disappeared completely.

……

The main gate of Wuzhou Yamen.

Nearly a thousand people stood in front of the gate, and under the attention of the surrounding guards and soldiers, almost no sound came out.

The black carriage slowly passed by, and then stopped at the gate of the State Yamen.

Wearing a crimson official fifth-rank official uniform, Li Xuan slowly stepped down from the carriage.

Looking around, Li Xuan finally walked to the steps of the state government gate, stood still, and faced everyone.

Thousands of people lined up neatly in twenty rows, all of them looked serious, and even looked at Li Xuan with hope.

Li Xuan nodded slightly to Qi Guang who was standing on the side, then looked at the crowd with a dignified look, and said sincerely: "Everyone, this time you are forcibly recruited to serve, so that this summer harvest can end as soon as possible.

The sooner the summer harvest ends, the sooner Hucao can gather his manpower, and then he will go to the fields in person to divide the fields for you.

There are so many people here today, I think it will not be too long to come that day. "

"Thank you, my lord, for your generosity." Many strong men present clapped their hands and saluted at the same time, their voices resounding.

Li Xuan smiled slightly, and then continued: "Although you are in corvee this time, but this time you are away, all the food and tools are provided by the state government. The sooner the harvest is completed, the faster the field will be obtained, the sooner the field will be obtained. , the faster you can plant in autumn, the faster you can plant in autumn, the faster you can stabilize.”

Almost everyone present had longing in their eyes.

Having said that, looking at the look in everyone's eyes, Li Xuan couldn't help but add another sentence: "This king is not very capable, what I can do is to let the people under your rule live a stable life without being exploited. Everyone can get a few more rations and no longer worry about survival.

Fu is God, Fu is the lords, and this king Ben Mian. "

"Wish to encourage Qianqiu with the county king!" All the people present shouted at the same time, and then bowed down and bowed.

The feeling of gratitude is beyond words.

"Okay, everyone, the time has come, let's go!" Li Xuan sighed, waved his hands, and looked to the side.

Sergeant Cao Canjun Feng Hua immediately stood up, cupped his hands at Li Xuan, then turned and walked outside.

He walked first among the crowd, wearing a light green official robe, leading the way and walking towards the city gate.

Behind them were two huge carriages. The carriages were covered with dark green felt cloth, so it was impossible to see what was inside.

After that came the servants of the brigade, and a group of people appeared on the street very quickly.

On both sides of the long street, those who knew it and those who didn't know it followed suit.

Li Xuan did not forbid others to talk, so many strong men would chat with acquaintances on the street from time to time.

Li Xuan originally thought that they would talk to other people about conscripts, fast harvesting, dividing fields, and the government being responsible for drinking water. Exploitation, everyone can get a few more rations, and no longer worry about survival."

On the carriage, behind the shaking curtain.

Li Xuan withdrew his gaze, looked at Yu Ze and Wang Bo with some surprise: "This king just came here with emotion, I couldn't help but say a word, why is this so?"

"This is the sincerity of the prince." Yu Ze also sighed with emotion, and said, "Because no one has ever said that, and no one has done it before."

Wang Bo nodded in agreement, and said: "Indeed, from the first prohibition order to the later land grant order, everything the prince has done is to benefit the people. The people really see it in their eyes. in the heart.

Of course, this may have hurt the interests of the officials and the family, but under the background of the Tianyin Sect's uprising, the officials and the family had to shut up temporarily. "

"But in the future, they will definitely not be reconciled to this. If the prince does not have a good solution, then the benefits brought by the prince will disappear soon." Yu Ze added immediately.

"It doesn't matter." Li Xuan's expression was very flat, and she said softly: "Wei Xiang once said: Water can carry a boat or overturn it; also."

Li Xuan looked out of the window, and said softly: "Under the current, there are always people who have to be eliminated. Such corrupt people, every few years, a batch of them will be dealt with, and then a group of new ones will be promoted to replace them; observations over the years have made, Didn’t the imperial examinations over the years all do these things?”

"Young people are always full of awe at the beginning; greed is also cultivated step by step. The time in between is the time for the people to benefit." Li Xuan summed up these words softly: " In the end it’s just back and forth.”

Wang Bo and Yu Ze looked at each other, then clasped their hands together and said, "My lord is wise."

"This king is not wise, but he is a bit sympathetic to the common people." Li Xuan's expression was very light.

……

Watching groups of muscular men walk out of the city gate, among the crowd in the distance, a heroic woman in amber men's robes stood in the center.

No one in the surroundings gave her a second look. Even though her overly heroic appearance made it obvious that she was a woman at a glance, none of the people around looked back at her, as if they didn't see her in their eyes. Same.

"He Lao, you said that these people were taught by me before." The heroic woman turned her head and looked at He Lao who was beside her.

When turning sideways, the slender jade neck, the cold eyebrows slanted into the temples, and the bright and sharp eyes looked directly into the old He's eyes beside him,
Zhang Wanyu, head of Yuhang Hall of Tianyin Sect.

She had already arrived in Wuzhou before she knew it.

Elder He bowed slightly, then nodded with a heavy expression on his face, and said: "That's right, before these people, or they are themselves, or there are relatives in their families who are all my disciples, the most important thing is that they all came from Migrated from Muzhou.

It's just that when the king of Nanchang granted the land order, they won all their hearts. "

Zhang Wanyu raised her eyebrows, and said displeasedly: "From my point of view, the problem doesn't seem to be with them, but with us. There must be a huge problem with the preaching in Wuzhou these years. There are so many potential teachers. The crowd, even the high-quality soldiers, seem to have been ignored all the time, Elder He, what is the reason for this?"

"I don't know, Fang Yunxiu is dead, maybe he has other plans in the dark." He Lao shook his head slightly.

He Lao has also heard about the secrets of Wuzhou Hall, but he has been suppressing it very well before.

After Fang Yunxiu's death, everything exploded suddenly.

"If I remember correctly, Fang Yunxiu's subordinates should have two deputy hall masters?"

"Yes, now one is imprisoned Jiaofangsi, and the other is hiding in the mountains of Wuyi. It is difficult to contact in a short time." He Lao frowned.

Zhang Wanyu shook her head indifferently: "I don't care, I find the person and bring him in front of me... Also, this King of Nanchang also needs to get to know him again, his style of doing things, his habits of doing things, and lastly, there is It is his weakness, all must be found."

take them all.
