I have a cornucopia

Chapter 64 This is your father’s picturesque country

After the emissary returned, Yang Feng led the unscrupulous people who had gathered in the tens of thousands to continue the carnival.

But there was no disorder.

In fact, it can't be messed up.

Although some of these people came to the city to make a living, the vast majority were actually local military households.

This is a city of military households.

There are only twenty-six guards in the pro-army alone. Including those who are not pro-army, the entire capital theoretically has hundreds of thousands of regular soldiers, and this is just the number of regular soldiers. They have been multiplying for more than two hundred years, and behind every regular soldier are A huge military family, it can be said that 80% of the entire capital has military status.

There are very few nationalities.

In fact, there are only more than 20,000 ethnic minorities in Wanping County.

And only part of it is in the city. After all, Wanping County only has the county government in the city.

It can be said that 80% of the unscrupulous people who follow Yang Feng are organized, and it is impossible for them to cause chaos in the city where their ancestors have lived for generations.

Of course, there will still be trouble.

You would be a fool not to make trouble in front of money. Every piece of silver thrown out by Yang Feng and those girls may be the hope for their family to survive. Spring is usually the hungriest season of the year. After all, the grain reserves in winter are basically exhausted. And the new grain has not arrived yet. In order to survive for one more year for themselves and their families, they not only dared to follow these nobles, but they actually dared to fight tooth and nail if necessary. Many of the young men who joined were armed. They have taken the initiative to form a de facto army according to their original establishment, and with relatives, friends and neighbors they are familiar with, guarding Yang Feng's convoy just like their ancestors did on the battlefield, and their women and children followed to receive money, and some leaders The finished ones have already slipped back.

But that doesn't matter.

Because there are many residents in this city who are suffering from famine.

One group left and another group came.

Just like this, as they moved forward, each of Hou Bo's mansions fell.

Then the rest is urgent...

Dezheng Hall.

It's the small house next to the middle left gate on the east side of Huangji Hall.

"Your Majesty, this traitor's intentions are clearly exposed. If he continues to fail to bring him to justice, he will put the dignity of the imperial court at risk. Where will the laws of the country come from?"

Zhang Guowei, the Minister of War, said angrily.

"There are many traitors in the world, such as Li Zicheng. Have Zhang Xianzhong and others been brought to justice? Have the Jianlu rebels been brought to justice for decades of rebellion? The imperial court is majestic, and the laws of the country are not as good as your majesty's safety? Yang Yang? Feng was brave and proficient in magic, and could get the help of magic weapons from gods. He once used magic weapons to severely injure Abatai in the midst of thousands of armies. It is said that Abatai's face was completely disfigured and he was even blinded. But, I wonder if you have a way to solve it? If there is no way to solve it, if you anger him, wouldn't it put your majesty in danger?"

Zhang Xin said.

"You are also a disciple of a sage and sage. Is this what you learned from me with such strange powers and chaos?"

Xu Shiqi asked.

"You are not saying anything about the strange power and chaotic gods. Is it possible that the strange powers and chaotic gods are gone? There are four hundred and eighty temples in the south of the Yangtze River. I wonder what you are worshiping? Yang Feng's magic has been seen by many people, and there is no doubt about it. If not, how could he be a mere scholar? , Defeated 50,000 built captives?

You don’t admit it, but you want to see it with your own eyes?

It's just that he casts a spell. I wonder how many of you can survive? "

Zhang Xin sneered.

"Your Excellency is exaggerating so much that you want to threaten us?"

Lin Yuji, the Minister of Rites, said angrily.

"Your Majesty, I impeach Zhang Xinxang, the left minister of the Ministry of Justice, for his disloyalty."

Zhang Wei, the left deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, said.

"I will also impeach you."

Li Banghua, the censor of Zuodu, said the same.

Zhang Xin looked at Zhang Fengxiang, his only accomplice in the hall at the moment. The latter had his head lowered, looking old and confused. He smiled coldly, then stepped forward and knelt down.

"Your Majesty, what I say is your Majesty. No matter what Yang Feng has done, at least for now, he should be appeased. Otherwise, if he becomes ferocious and endangers Your Majesty, there will be trouble. Although His Majesty's God-protecting God will certainly not do anything for him. He is disturbing, but if he destroys every brick and tile of the palace, the ministers will be punished by death. What's more, he is the best at coercion. With a scholar, he can command half of Shandong, and everyone from the gentry to the common people can be driven by him. If He is coercing unruly people in the capital, and there may be something unpredictable."

He looked like a loyal minister and said sincerely.

Is he a threat?

He must be a threat.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Xin tried his best to exaggerate Yang Ni, with the intention of threatening Your Majesty. It is disrespectful for me to impeach Zhang Xin."

Zheng Sanjun, the official minister, said.

Well, at this time, almost all the main ministers of the imperial court were southerners.

Six ministers and five southern ministers.

Zheng Sanjun from the Ministry of Personnel, from Chizhou, Ni Yuanlu from the Ministry of Husbandry, from Shaoxing, Lin Yuji from the Ministry of Rites, from Jinjiang, Zhang Guowei from the Ministry of War, from Dongyang, Zhejiang, Xu Shiqi from the Ministry of Punishment, from Jiaxing, Fan Jingwen from the Ministry of Industry, from the north, Li Banghua, the censor of the Zuodu Procuratorate, Jishui The person is Zhang Wei, the left deputy censor of the capital, and a native of Wujin.

Don't talk about these, even at the level of minister, most of them are from the south.

and so……

His Majesty the Emperor really knows how to play.

At this moment, His Majesty the Emperor...

Of course His Majesty the Emperor knew that Zhang Xin was threatening him.

but……

This threat is not exaggerated!

Yang Feng is really capable of threatening his safety!

Although Yang Feng only showed pure force in the palace, the secret notes that Jin Yiwei collected for him were really good at magic, especially the process of seriously injuring Abatai, which could be clearly seen by a lot of people. ah.

Including two general soldiers.

"You are too worried, Zhang Qing is just loyal."

he said angrily.

"Uh?"

Zheng Sanjun and others were stunned for a moment.

Damn it, can you tolerate this?

Is this still the same emperor who used to harass civil servants from time to time?

"Long live my Lord, I will be the Duke of Chengguo. I will see you soon, Duke Ding."

The great eunuch Wang Dehua walked to Chongzhen and whispered.

"Xuan!"

Chongzhen said expressionlessly.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, and Xu Yunzhen, the Duke of Dingguo, were brought in...

Chongzhen is not his grandfather and his brother. He is really as diligent in state affairs as the fourth elder brother. Although the bad thing is here, in fact, in most cases, he convenes ministers here to discuss government affairs. Including the recommendation of the chief minister of the cabinet, these were all summoned to discuss with ministers. He also frequently summoned ministers, and then the monarch and ministers worked together to make Ming Dynasty like this.

Simply speaking from the way he governs the country, he has perfectly met the standards of a holy lord and wise king, and even has a somewhat enlightened taste.

But the results got worse and worse.

sorrow.

How sad.

So he always makes wrong decisions, so he might as well just lie down.

He was indeed responsible for natural disasters.

But the problem is that if he hadn't raised taxes again and again, the world wouldn't have been in chaos.

Of course, facing the rotten war situation in Liaodong, he really had no choice but to raise taxes.

But the situation his brother left behind was not at all corrupting to the level of the war. It was Jianlu who entered the customs for the first time after he reused Yuandudu that made the war situation truly rotten. Although there are different opinions on Yuandudu's personal issues, this time Jianlu The prisoner's entry into the pass did indeed happen when Yuandudu was in charge of the battle, and it really wouldn't have happened if it had been someone else.

sorrow. How sad.

Zhu Chunchen and Xu Yunzhen, who came in next, fell down crying.

"If you become the Duke of the country, you will be the official of the country."

Chongzhen said angrily.

Of course he knows what these two are here for. They are just to blackmail you for some money. Besides, they haven't blackmailed you yet. There are so many nobles in the capital, and with Yang Feng's speed, they probably won't be able to finish all the blackmail today. However, Chongzhen was surprised by their financial resources. An earl raised his hand and took out 50,000 taels. It didn't take even a quarter of an hour for the Xing'an family to pay for the 50,000 taels. At this speed, it is almost like driving the carriage to the bank, and then directly carrying the boxes and dumping them in. Moreover, the amount of each box must have been weighed in advance, so how much money does their bank have to achieve this efficiency?

"Your Majesty, Yang Feng, along with tens of thousands of unruly people, has already robbed three counts and one marquis. Not only did they loot property, but they also killed dozens of people. I sincerely request your Majesty to issue an order to order Xiangcheng Bo to transfer the capital camp into the town to suppress the enemy. , otherwise the capital will be in chaos."

Zhu Chunchen said with a sad face.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask your Majesty to issue an order for Xiangcheng Bo to transfer the capital camp into the city."

Zhang Guowei said immediately.

"I ask for your Majesty's decree."

Other ministers said excitedly.

Li Guozhen's Beijing camp actually still hasn't entered the city...

How could he dare to enter the city without an imperial edict?

He is a member of the Beijing Field Army, stationed in the north camp of the city. He dares to mobilize the field army into the capital without an imperial decree. Do you want to rebel? Therefore, the purpose of these ministers before was to get Chongzhen to issue an order, but Chongzhen knew very well that if he issued an order to mobilize the Beijing camp to enter the town for suppression, it would be okay if he could kill Yang Feng, but if he could not, he would be in trouble. So he just forced these ministers to find a way. Anyway, he just wouldn't issue this imperial edict, but you can think of a way on your own. Zhang Guowei is also the co-manager of the Beijing camp. He can order the Beijing camp to enter the city himself!

Anyway, if it really fails, it will be because he mobilized troops without permission and has nothing to do with His Majesty the Emperor!

but now……

“This matter requires caution.”

He said.

"Your Majesty, if we delay any longer, Yang Ni will destroy the capital."

Xu Yunzhen said.

Chongzhen looked thoughtful.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Eunuch Wang wishes to see Your Majesty."

A young eunuch suddenly ran in.

But at the same time, Wang Chengen staggered in behind him. Lao Wang had been injured a lot in the past two days. After being carried back by the Jin Yiwei, he finally recovered. He rushed in with eyes that were obviously abnormal. Then he fell to the ground.

"Long live my lord, please ask Princess Kunxing to come out of the palace and inform Yang Feng."

After he finished speaking, he coughed violently.

"What are you saying, Eunuch Wang? Do you think I, the Ming Dynasty, still want to marry me as a princess?"

Zhou Yanru said.

Chongzhen's expression changed, he grabbed the paperweight on the table and threw it at it.

"Have you lost your mind? Drag him out!"

he shouted angrily.

"Long live my lord, I have asked the princess to go out and give Yang Feng a message."

Wang Chengen lay on the ground and said slowly.

Chongzhen looked at him in astonishment...

At this time, at Dong'an Gate, Princess Kunxing, who was guarded by the Jinyi Guards, was sitting in a sedan with the curtain open, looking at the outside world curiously.

It's not like Wang Cheng'en didn't know Chongzhen's temper. It was impossible for His Majesty the Emperor to agree to such a thing, so he immediately went to coax Princess Kunxing when he woke up, saying that Chongzhen asked her to go out and tell Yang Feng. The queen was actually a sensible person. She already knew everything that happened at Yuntai Gate yesterday, so she easily agreed, and then she ordered the royal guards to escort the princess out. At this time, several major eunuchs in the palace were very busy. Lao Wang's identity was there. He asked the princess to go out and tell Yang Feng on the order of the queen. The Jin Yiwei had nothing to do. Of course, he would do whatever he said. They were also escorted by Jinyi guards, and with the Queen's warrant, Donghua and Dong'an gates were also released. Lao Wang didn't come here to report to Chongzhen until they left Donghua gate.

Cut first and then play.

At worst, Chongzhen will grant him death.

"Princess, that's Yang Feng over there!"

The Jin Yiwei officer pointed at the end of their sight.

There was a dense crowd of unscrupulous people, and a carriage was passing by. On the carriage was a figure of Her Royal Highness that she has not forgotten to this day. Then he held up a huge silver ingot, like a noodle master, and was peeling it while the surrounding people cheered. .

Suddenly Yang Feng turned around.

Then he also froze.

"stop!"

he shouted.

Then he jumped from the carriage.

The Jinyiwei officer signaled, and the bearer carrying the sedan immediately moved forward.

Meet Yang Feng soon.

"Your Highness, what are you doing?"

Yang Feng said.

"Yang Sheng, Kun Xing is here on the orders of his father and his mother. Please invite Yang Sheng into the palace. My father will clear your grievances."

Her Royal Highness the Princess said with a little panic.

"Ah, Wang Chengen told you that it was His Majesty who asked you to leave the palace, right?"

Yang Feng said.

Her Highness the Princess nodded blankly.

"I know this is not your Majesty's style. Since you are here, please invite Your Highness the Princess to come with me. I will show you your father's picturesque country and his prosperous Ming Dynasty."

Yang Feng said with a smile.

Then he stepped forward and reached for the princess.

The Jin Yiwei officer was horrified and hurriedly drew his sword to stop him. The next moment, he was grabbed by Yang Feng and thrown out. The other Jin Yiwei officers moved forward in confusion. Yang Feng kept grabbing them with one hand and throwing them away, while the other hand reached towards the princess. The latter raised her hand in panic. Yang Feng took her and took her out of the sedan, and then walked towards those who were still waiting in front. Her Royal Highness followed blankly. As soon as she walked not far away, she screamed in fright... …

"Starving to death, more than fifty of them were thrown out this morning. Then I started making a fuss, and the people who collected the corpses all went to share a piece of silver with them, so they couldn't care less."

Yang Feng looked at the dead bodies on the roadside and said calmly.

"Why did she starve to death?"

Her Royal Highness looked at the dead body of this skinny little girl.

"Of course, if you don't have food, you will starve to death. Dozens of people starve to death in the capital every day, and tens of thousands of people starve to death outside. A soldier under my command in northern Shaanxi said that they can throw away the children who starve to death like this." Full of ravines.”

Yang Feng held her hand and said as he walked like a parent walking his children.

Considering the current age gap between the two, this is actually a bit exaggerated. Theoretically, Yang Feng is only eighteen years old at this time. Normally, he should get married at fifteen. However, his father died in Shaanxi, and he was delayed in returning from supporting the deceased. As a result, they just got married. Not a year after returning, his mother fell ill and died again. So in fact, he had to observe filial piety for four years. Fortunately, his fiancée was younger than him, and they were just engaged. Princess Kunxing was thirteen, so she was fourteen, so there was a five-year age difference between them.

The eldest brother leads the little sister.

While he was talking, the unscrupulous people were already coming to greet him.

They were all in rags, with patches piled on top of each other, and all of them were sallow and thin. Although they were not starved to death, they were almost skinny and bones.

It was like a surging living dead.

The little princess was so frightened that she hugged Yang Feng's arm and looked at her father's subjects with horrified eyes...
