Chapter 364 Wei Zheng's Wrath (Part [-])
Hearing what Yang Ehuang and Fuyi said, Yunniang and Qu Yanran looked at each other, wondering if anyone else knew about this matter.

Yang Ehuang said with a smile: "There have been rumors about this matter for a long time. There are rumors in Dongdu that the people next to His Highness King Qi grabbed a knife and did it."

Yang Ehuang revealed it lightly, and Fuyi knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he immediately kept silent.

Qu Yanran also smiled, leaving aside other topics, the group of four didn't talk much.

Gradually it was getting late, and there were faint sounds of dogs barking and people beside the road.

The carriage stopped, and Yang Ehuang slowly opened his eyes.Fuyi helped Yang Ehuang get out of the car, Qu Yanran said: "My good sister, we are almost arriving in Liyang, the city gate is closed now, we will rest in the village for one night, and enter Liyang City tomorrow."

Yang Ehuang nodded, wondering if Liyang is the land of Li Mi.

Seeing Yang Ehuang's preoccupation, Qu Yanran said: "Sister, I came to Liyang for a temporary stay, and my servant's house is just a homeless person who just wants to eat and drink in peace. The world is in chaos right now, and the eastern capital is in rubble. Hebei can take care of it." There are only Liyang and Youzhou for An Ding. My sister doesn’t dislike her, she will stay with me in Li Yang for the time being, and get well first.”

After hearing this, Yang Ehuang's doubts gradually disappeared, and he said: "My good sister, the Youzhou you mentioned is owned by the champion Hou Li Chongjiu?"

Yun Niang said with a smile: "Li Chongjiu is no longer a champion. Now Li is sealed as Lord Shanggu, Governor of Youzhou, and leads the eight counties of Youzhou. This man is very powerful. The land of Youzhou is governed by him Well-organized, he also subdued the Fanren, even Goguryeo and Khitan were defeated by him."

Yang Ehuang lowered his head, nodded, and touched his waist involuntarily.

Yang Hao just got out of the car, and after listening to this ear, he said: "Oh, Li Chongjiu, this person used to be a commoner, but today he is also called Hou Daogong."

Yang Hao felt unhappy, Yun Niang pretended to be ignorant and said, "Oh, could it be that this young master knows Duke Gu?"

Yang Hao said proudly: "Of course I know him, this person was no better than me... no, he was just walking around in Prince Qi's residence."

Thinking of this, Yang Hao couldn't help sighing, Dongdu was reduced to rubble, and his former Qiwang Mansion in Yirenfang in Dongdu must have been dilapidated long ago.

Yunniang secretly observed her words and guessed that not only King Qi, but also this woman is familiar with Li Chongjiu. She has seen countless people in the brothel. She has long wondered about the identity of this woman, and was about to open her mouth to test it out when she saw Qu Yanran shook her head at her. Stop her now.

After a night of silence, everyone found a home in the village. After resting for one night, they entered Liyang City the next day.

In Liyang City, at Duke Wei's mansion.

Li Mi was dressed in white and sat on the main seat, shaking his feather fan lightly.It was the time when Li Mi led the Wagang Army to break Yuwenhuaji and was full of ambition.After the Wagang Army defeated Yu Wenhua and the 10,000+ elite Xiaoguo army, they also felt that after a big victory, they could rule the world.

The generals sat in the lobby, but they were elated.

"Duke Wei made a big breakthrough in the culture and culture of the universe this time, and won the victory over the emperor. If he takes advantage of the trend to enter the court, the Eastern Capital will rely heavily on him. The glory and wealth of our generals all depend on Duke Wei." Shan Xiongxin said.

Li Mi glanced at Shan Xiongxin and smiled.

Chief Shi Bing Yuanzhen pinched his long beard and said with a smile: "The son of heaven is still young, and the ministers of the court, Yuan Wendu, Lu Chu, and the ministers of Huangfu Wuyi are not ministers of Kuangbi and Sheji. Duke Wei enters the court, and the world looks up to him. Things."

Li Mi laughed and said: "Bing Changshi, it is not bad to enter the court, but it is not for Wang Mang and Dong Zhuo to take advantage of the danger to seek profit, but for Yi Yin and Huo Guang to continue to help the country and help the country. This is the original intention of this secret. "

Bing Yuanzhen said with a smile: "With Wei Gong's contribution to helping the country today, Yi Yin and Huo Guang can only be willing to follow after their resurrection."

Li Mi couldn't help laughing loudly when he heard this, and all the generals were also joking around.Li Mi looked left and right in the hall, only general Xu Shiji drank alone.

Li Mi had a grudge against Xu Shiji from the bottom of his heart, when Zhai Rang was killed that day, both Xu Shiji and Shan Xiongxin were present.When they saw that Zhai Rang was dead and they were about to be killed by the sword and axe, they knelt down and begged for mercy.Li Minian and Li Minian were brave enough to fight, so they were both spared the death penalty.

Although Li Mi trusted the two of them superficially, he was quite defensive and alienated in his heart. Seeing Xu Shiji drinking alone, he couldn't help frowning.

Xu Shiji was also drinking, when he suddenly saw Li Mi looking at him, he dropped his chopsticks to the ground in a little panic, and quickly toasted.Li Mi smiled and raised his glass, taking a small peck.

Li Mi smiled slightly, thinking Shan Xiongxin, so what if Xu Shiji and Xu Shiji have a grudge, the general trend of the world is already under my control, this time I defeated Yu Wenhuaji, and won the trust of the Emperor Taizhu. After entering the Eastern Capital, he took the emperor with him to make the ambitions of the princes.

When all the generals in Wagang were having a banquet, someone suddenly came to report: "Wei Gong, news came from Dongdu. A few days ago, Wang Shichong led an army to attack the palace at night. , Minister of Internal History. Guo Wenyi, Minister of Huangmen Zhao Changwen were all killed."

"What?" One of the generals dropped his wine glass, and Li Mi angrily reprimanded, "What are you panicking about, keep talking."

"Yes, now Wang Shichong has mastered the overall situation of the Eastern Capital. With his elder brother Wang Shiyun as the internal history order, he entered the ban, and all political affairs and soldiers are controlled by his party members. The emperor has been emptied."

Li Mi looked up to the sky and sighed: "This is the misfortune of the country!"

At that moment Li Mi stood up, holding the wine glass and spilling it to the ground.When the generals saw it, they followed Li Mi's lead and spilled the wine in their cups on the ground.

Li Mi burst into tears, and sighed: "I have been friends with several ministers of Yuanwendu, Lu and Chu for a long time. They are all good ministers who are loyal to the country. Unexpectedly, today they were killed by traitors. The Sui ruler Youguo suspected, But today, the son is in trouble again, and he secretly wants to show his ambitions, but he can't do anything, so what is a minister?"

Seeing Li Mi like this, all the generals came forward to persuade him one after another, and the crowd was excited.

All the generals said one after another: "I implore Duke Wei to order to attack the Eastern Capital, kill the treacherous ministers, and save the emperor!"

"That's right, kill the traitor and save the emperor!"

All the generals raised their arms and shouted.

Seeing this, Li Mi said solemnly: "Wang Shichong is a traitor who steals the country, and he must not be divorced from him. Now I have the same order with all the generals, and tell the world that I will not destroy the Eastern Capital, and I swear not to return to Liyang!"

The battle between the Wagang Army and Yu Wenhuaji had just come to an end less than a month ago, and the monstrous battle drums were beating again. Li Mi led 20 Wagang Army to the south to attack the Eastern Capital again.

Youzhou.

Although it was night, the city was brightly lit.Every household lights up lights, and under the lights of thousands of families, there is a warm warmth.

When the world is in chaos, Youzhou has become one of the few pure lands in Hebei, where the people live and work in peace.

Inside the Sheriff's Mansion, the lights are brightly lit. The officials of the Sheriff's Mansion have long known the Sheriff's habits, and the lights in this house will never go out before three o'clock every day.

Under an oil lamp, Wei Zheng was correcting the official documents. Now that Zhuo County is dependent on refugees, the population is increasing, and there are more and more busy things under the rule.

Near the end of the year, the number of households in Ji County has exceeded [-], and the city feels overcrowded.

This is not counting the grass market in the north of Ji County.

Although entry and exit taxes are exempted for entering the city, transaction tax is required to be paid for the proceeds from sales in markets outside the city. Smart Hu merchants and Han merchants built a grass market outside Jixian County to sell.

The officials in the county have a lot of complaints about the grass market, thinking that this is an act of tax evasion, and it needs to be banned and the grass market should be closed.

After Wei Zheng heard about it, he went to inspect the grass market in person, and saw that the shops and shops outside the city were very prosperous, and the prosperity was not inferior to the market in the city. curfew.

Many people looking for fun can stay here all night long. Of course, this place is also a place where fish and dragons are mixed together and the law and order are extremely poor.

After reading it, Wei Zheng decided to write a statement to set up a school lieutenant's office in Caoshi, and the city department ordered it.The school captain patrols the city to maintain law and order in the grass market, while the city administration order is to collect taxes in the grass market to expand financial resources.

With the prosperity of the grass market, after the establishment of a municipal government order, the monthly income will be more than a thousand guan, so that it can give Youzhou's financial constraints and loosen the reins around its neck a little.

It was almost three o'clock after Wei Zheng finished writing the report.

Wei Zheng put down his pen and was about to rest, but happened to see an official document that had just been delivered on the case, and couldn't help picking it up to read it.For Wei Zheng, it is his usual practice not to rest until the work is done.

Unexpectedly, Wei Zheng stood up angrily after reading the official document, threw the official document directly on the table, and shouted: "It's unreasonable."

This time he woke up immediately. He was a drowsy scribe who was rubbing ink beside him. It was rare for scribes to see Wei Zheng so furious.

Wei Zheng took a deep breath and said, "Get your horse ready, I'm going to the Governor's Mansion!"

"Now?"

"Is it possible to return to dawn?"

After Wei Zheng gave the order, the soldiers and horsemen immediately woke up from their sleep and put on the chariots and horses for Wei Junshou.

On the main street, Wei Zheng went straight to the governor's mansion in a car, and the patrol riders who patrolled the city at night saw someone hurrying, and immediately came up to question them dutifully, and when they saw that it was Wei Junshou's chariot and horses, they immediately retreated to one side.

A patrol rider watched Wei Zheng's chariot and horses pass by, and said to others: "Wei Junshou went out in the middle of the night, someone must be unlucky again."

"Oh, that's not the case. Our captain, we are trembling all day long. We used to have a couple of sips of wine, but now we don't dare to drink it when we are on duty at night. It's not because we are afraid of Wei Junshou. Go, go, harm others, don't look for it. We'll be fine."

After chatting a few words, the cavalry patrolling the city rode away again.

In the governor's residence of Youzhou.

Li Chongjiu rubbed Shi Deyun and was dreaming, when suddenly he heard someone knocking on the door.

Li Chongjiu woke up unhappily, and even Shi Deyun rubbed his eyes.

"What's the matter?"

The voice of my personal guard came from outside the door: "Send a message to Lord Shanggu, and Governor Wei is asking to see you."

When Li Chongjiu heard that he was completely sleepless, he immediately got out of bed and quickly said, "Let's say I'm already asleep."

"No, that's what the humble official said, but Wei Junshou said that he was in a hurry and must see Lord Shanggu tonight."

"I won't even let me sleep." Li Chongjiu stayed on the bed and put on his shoes indiscriminately. Wei Zheng came all night, and he knew why.

But thinking of the other party's pig liver face and stubborn temper, Li Chongjiu couldn't help feeling dizzy.
