The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 145

After the stone left, Princess Ruyi came to Liu Wei curiously, and said with a smile, "What did the son-in-law say to that stone?"

Liu Wei smiled: "The princess wants to know?"

The princess was slightly annoyed: "If you don't want to say it, the princess will not force you."

Liu Wei shook his head: "Princess wants to know, how can I not tell you, my son-in-law just wants Shi Shi to go back to Xing Wang's mansion first, let him spread the news among the people, just say how this son-in-law saved him, how can I promise to be able to do it?" Let the people of King Xing’s Mansion have enough to eat and live a good life.”

Hearing Liu Wei boasting so much, Princess Ruyi was a little stunned.

"The ancients said that when a gentleman is virtuous but doesn't reveal it, the son-in-law would shout and let the whole world know that he has just done something good. This...is really embarrassing."

After Princess Ruyi finished speaking, she seemed ashamed even herself.

Liu Wei smiled indifferently, and asked, "My lord, what do you think of the people in Xingwang's mansion?"

"I haven't really touched it, how do I know?"

Liu Wei shook his head: "Didn't those beggar princesses have contact with each other just now?"

Princess Ruyi was slightly taken aback, and then she understood Liu Wei's meaning: "They have lived a very hard life, and they are even in danger of being forced into robbers."

Liu Wei nodded: "The princess is right. The people in Xingwang's mansion live very hard and don't have enough to eat. They may do things like killing people at any time, and why would they do such things?"

When Liu Wei said this, he glanced at Princess Ruyi, and seeing that Princess Ruyi was a little confused, Liu Wei continued: "Because they have lost confidence in life and lost hope, they feel that the current situation can only be done against morality. able to eat well.”

Princess Ruyi suddenly realized: "The son-in-law asked Shi Shi to spread the news, so that these people have hope for life, have something to look forward to?"

Liu Wei nodded: "If the people have hope and hope, who would take the risk to do that kind of murder? Speaking of which, these people are very simple people. As long as they have food to eat, they will naturally be at ease. Shitou will definitely publicize this matter after he returns, although the dissemination of these news cannot fundamentally solve the matter, but in a short period of time, it can appease a large number of people, as long as the Xing Palace is stable, we have the opportunity to make a difference."

Now that she understood Liu Wei's intentions, Princess Ruyi felt a little ashamed. She wanted to apologize for what happened just now, but Liu Wei changed the subject, as if he had expected that Princess Ruyi would be ashamed and approached Ruyi. The princess looked embarrassed.

"Zhan Qing, Wei Ping."

"exist!"

"exist!"

After hearing Liu Wei's order, Zhan Qing and Wei Ping came immediately.

"What are your orders?"

"How far is this place from King Xingfu City?"

"About thirty miles."

"It's still possible to arrive before dark, but we don't know the current situation in Xingwangfu City. After advancing ten miles, let's order people to set up camp. Besides, now select ten good people from among the guards to inquire about the news, and let them Quickly sneak into King Xing's Mansion to find out what's going on in King Xing's Mansion."

"Yes!"

Princess Ruyi saw that Liu Wei was so proficient in assigning tasks, and knew that Liu Wei had already thought about these tasks, so she was no longer as afraid of the upcoming dangers as she was when she first came. In her opinion, as long as With willow flavor, all difficulties will not become difficulties.
-
Liu Wei and others set up camp when they were twenty miles away from Xingwangfu City. After resting like this for one night, they continued on their way the next day, and arrived at Xingwangfucheng before noon that day.

As the capital city of the Southern Han Dynasty, the scale of Xingwang Mansion is no less than that of Kaifeng, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, and because the Empress of the Southern Han Dynasty liked to enjoy leisure, the construction of the entire Xingwang Mansion was quite prosperous.

However, at this time, the gates of Prince Xing's Mansion are in ruins, and the city walls are more or less mottled. Even on the high walls, there are still bloodstains left by the soldiers who attacked the city. It is early summer, and flies can be seen flying around indistinctly. .

Liu Wei stood outside the city and let out a long sigh before ordering to enter the city.

At this time, the Xingwang Mansion can be said to be in a state of no one's management. There are only a few old officials guarding the mansion, so there are no guards at the city gate. Liu Wei and others entered the city in a mighty manner. Passing through the city gate, a commoner shouted: "Master Liu Weiliu who rescued us from the sea of ​​suffering is here, hurry, hurry..."

The commoner shouted loudly, and the commoners who were standing on the street suddenly swarmed over, and in front of the crowd, there were actually several drummers beating non-stop.

"Master Liu, Master Liu..."

The enthusiasm of the people was very high, and the one who shouted the most was the stone that Liu Wei saved yesterday. Seeing this, Liu Wei understood that all of this must be due to the stone, but he never expected that this The unremarkable Shishi was able to summon so many people to meet him in a short period of time, it seemed that I really underestimated his ability.

However, Liu Wei is also very clear that the power of words is terrifying. If these people who are in the midst of a crisis know that someone is coming to save them, then they will have a somewhat trusting attitude no matter what?
After all, they had no choice but to pin their hopes on the officials.

And this made Liu Wei feel that if an official failed the trust of these people, he might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes.

After the people gathered around, they all knelt down for Liu Wei.

"Also ask the adults to save us."

"…………"

The voices of the people pleaded one after another, Liu Wei waved his hand to silence everyone, and then said: "The empress of the Southern Han Dynasty was fatuous, causing the people to live in dire straits. My Song emperor, Weijia, sent troops to conquer the world, but we are not conquering the common people, we are conquering It's the licentious and immoral Southern Han empress, now that the Southern Han Dynasty is dead, you people of the Southern Han Dynasty are the people of our Great Song Dynasty, how can I ignore you?"

When Liu Wei said this, the people kneeling on the ground were already sobbing with excitement.

"Please believe in me. Within a year, I will surely let you live comfortably. If I fail to achieve the situation I said today, I will voluntarily resign and return to my hometown. One step from the palace."

Hearing Liu Wei's sudden promise, the people of King Xing's Mansion were even more excited, but Princess Ruyi frowned slightly. The situation in King Xing's Mansion is very complicated. How could Liu Wei make a promise as soon as he arrived here?Isn't this forcing yourself to die?

However, Princess Ruyi soon understood that Liu Wei wanted to stabilize these people and prevent them from making trouble, so how could they believe it if they didn't make a big promise?

After such words, the people of King Xing's Mansion have become more dependent on Liu Wei, and on the long street, all the people joined hands to welcome Liu Wei and others into the city.

After Liu Wei and the others got into the carriage again, Princess Ruyi was moved to tears, but at this moment, Qin Yun had a lingering sorrow on his brow.
-
But when Liu Wei and his party rushed to the government office.

In the city of Xingwangfu, Pengfu.

A servant hurriedly ran to Peng's mansion, shouting as he ran: "Master, master is not good, it is not good, the prefect's ceremonial guard has entered the city."

The boy shouted and ran into the living room. At this time, there were two middle-aged men sitting in the living room. One of the men was slightly fat, but he was very dignified. After seeing the boy, his expression turned slightly cold: "Master Zhifu is entering the city!" Just enter the city, why make such a fuss, how decent is it in front of the guests?"

The boy knew he was wrong, and quickly lowered his head.

"Okay, let's talk about the situation on the street."

The young servant took the order, and then explained what happened after Liu Wei entered the city. This young servant is a good eloquent, and he described how the common people bowed down and how Liu Wei subdued the hearts of the people, as if he was there in person. Only then did he receive the reward and leave.

After the boy left, another man who was slightly thinner and had smaller eyes said, "Brother Peng, it seems that Liu Wei is really capable. Brother, I received the news earlier today. Said that Liu Wei saved a few beggars along the way, who would have thought that these few beggars could cause such a big wave in Xingwang's mansion."

The man called Brother Peng is the owner of this mansion, named Peng Jiu. After hearing what the skinny man said, he snorted coldly: "Brother Jiang, don't let others be ambitious. Those people are just hungry. People who rely on Liu Wei, they can only beg Liu Wei now, they are like a group of ants in Xingwangfu City, what is Liu Wei's ability to subdue a group of ants?"

The thin man's name is Jiang Jie, and like Peng Jiu, he is the head of a rich family in Xingwangfu City. Because of their close relationship, they got together to discuss how to deal with Liu Wei's matter.

After Peng Jiu finished speaking, Jiang Jie did not refute, but only smiled slightly: "Brother Peng's words are good, but judging by Liu Wei's methods, we can know that he is by no means easy to get along with. Better to be prepared."

Peng Jiu also knew what Jiang Jie said was right, so he said: "It's okay, Brother Jiang should be very clear about the situation in Xingwang's mansion. The king is still alive and can't do anything to us big families. Now the Great Song Dynasty just sent a yellow-haired man. Boy, can he still go to heaven? He can't move the foundation of our big clan. If he dares to move, we can make the whole Xingwang Mansion restless if we make a fuss. Brother Jiang, tell me, Liu Wei dare Against us?"

"How dare he? Is it possible that we can still fight him to the death? Now this is not the Southern Han Dynasty, this is the land of the Great Song Dynasty."

"No, no, now that thieves are everywhere, Liu Wei would not dare to waste energy with us. Brother Jiang, think back to Pan Mei, the great general of the Song Dynasty. After he captured the city, he could confiscate our property. At that time, the army was overwhelming. Our resistance can be described as very feeble, but he did not do so, do you know why?"

Jiang Jie shook his head: "Why?"
