A Thousand Hills

Chapter 270

Mr. Tang went south with Li Yu. Before going south, he also attended Li Yu's wedding.Speaking of which, Li Yu's wedding is also a great scene in the imperial capital. It's rare for a face-saving person like Princess Wenkang to make such a mess like marrying a deserted relative. Everyone was not mentally prepared, so Li Yu got married quickly.So many people don't have time to carefully prepare a congratulatory gift. Moreover, on the first day of the wedding, Li Yu patted his ass and left on the second day. Even the home of the three dynasties was the natal home where Li Xuan sent his younger siblings back.

Fortunately, Li Yu also went to be loyal to the imperial court. When he got married that day, his wife Tie Shi's order came down. Li Yu has the title of Earl, and Tie Shi is the countess. It's just worse than the sixth concubine's sister.

Li Xuan felt a little sorry for the Tie family, his younger brother's marriage was in a hurry, and it was rare for the Tie family to say nothing.In fact, Princess Wenkang's temper, which is famous even among emperors, even if there is something wrong, the Tie family would not dare to say it.In particular, the marriage was pre-determined, and the eldest princess asked to marry, and the Tie family could not refuse, but the marriage was completed, the daughter was completely married, and the son-in-law went out to fight, the Tie family had to worry more, for fear that the son-in-law would have something bad or bad.After all, in the past, when the daughter was not married, the son-in-law had a good or bad idea, and he could find another marriage for the daughter. Once married, there is no way out.Mrs. Tie was thinking about when she would go to Xishan Temple and burn some incense sticks for her son-in-law.

Tie herself felt okay, although she didn't know her husband very well, mainly because she had never met her husband before, and they had to have a bridal chamber on their wedding day, and they didn't say a few words, but there was one thing that made Tie feel at ease , Li Yu said, "I will leave the affairs of our house to you. If you are not familiar with it, ask Nanny Sun in the inner courtyard, and Manager Shen in the outer courtyard." The complete list of servants in my Earl's Mansion, which also records that the background of each servant is directly called Tie's housekeeper.Another thing is to tell Tie Shi to take care of herself and serve her mother well.

Tie Shi was seventeen years old when she first met Princess Wenkang. After a few years of delay, she is already a twenty-year-old girl.These days, rich families teach girls how to be a housewife, not how to make an oath to their son-in-law, and the requirements for men are also mainstream, that is, self-motivation.It's useless to sing the wind and play the moon or something. If you are really talented, you can get a good name in the exam, and you can also seal your wife and son in the future. This is the ability.Therefore, the lady of Tie's mainstream values ​​felt happy when she saw Li Yu handing over the affairs of the house to herself. Moreover, Li Yu's side was very clean, and there was no maid in the house, and she was very motivated.Such a man is also the best in the imperial capital.Even if Li Yu went to the battlefield the next day, Tie Shi was still very satisfied with Li Yu. Her husband is not a civil servant, and military generals are only used in wars.Of course Tie Shi was worried about her husband, but this was her husband's duty, and Tie Shi wouldn't stop her.Before she got married, she also knew that her husband would leave after marriage, so she prepared some common pills, ointments, old ginseng tablets and so on for her husband when she was at her mother's house, and brought them with her.This move was even more appreciated by her mother-in-law, Princess Wenkang, who felt that Tie was sensible.

What's more, Jian Tieshi has seen his brother-in-law, the sixth prince's bastard, and after comparing them, he feels that Li Yu is a good person.Tie's age is also old, and he has always been straightforward. He smiled and said to his parents, "Uncle is loyal to the court, and I will be filial for him at home, which is also due."

Mrs. Tie smiled reassuringly, "That's very true." Then she asked her daughter if she could still get used to being in the eldest princess's mansion.Although Li Yu has the earl's mansion bestowed by the emperor, he has not lived there for a few days, and he has not been married at first, so it is not a problem to live alone.Now that they are married, and Li Yu has left again, Princess Wenkang is worried that her daughter-in-law will live in the Earl's Mansion alone, so she still asks Tie to live in the Princess's Mansion, so she can take a closer look at her daughter-in-law.

Tie naturally said yes, and she was really good. Although Princess Wenkang has a big temper, she is not an unreasonable person. She has reasonable demands on her children. Eating the reason for asking the daughter-in-law to stand and serve, the daughter-in-law is used to take care of the son and raise the grandchildren, and is not a servant at home. As long as the daughter-in-law can support them, Princess Wenkang is happy to love them, mainly because she has no daughters. Why is her grandson's mother so harsh?

The Tie family returned home in three dynasties, even though they were not accompanied by their husbands, the Tie family was still lively, especially after a while his sister Tie Wangfei and brother-in-law the sixth prince came, the sixth prince... In fact, it was a long time since the Tie family could not be seen. Regarding the matter of the sixth prince slapping Princess Tie, the Tie family had nothing to do with the royal family, otherwise the Tie family would have to do their best to change their in-laws.

However, since the sixth prince came back from labor reform, he has really improved a lot. Although the Tie family doesn't want to see him, he will not neglect him when he comes with Princess Tie.What's more, the sixth prince was very lucky to meet Li Xuan this time. Li Xuan's good nature is well-known in the imperial capital, and the two of them are cousins, which can also be said.Tie Yushi also sighed in his heart because of the trouble, thinking that if the sixth prince can really improve, he will have to show him some good looks in the future.

Li Yu and Mr. Tang went south with the army. Before Xie Moru left, Mr. Tang asked him to do something. In fact, Mr. Tang also had a whim about this matter. Not in a hurry, but Xiao Tang of the son's generation is more anxious. Xiao Tang is not too old, and he is twenty years old this year, but he is not too young.Originally, Mr. Tang thought that this kid is a dandy, and that he could find a capable daughter from a colleague's family, who is well-matched, and find a marriage for his son.Nowadays, when people get married, one depends on the family background, Mr. Tang's official position is not low, and the other depends on the child's character and ability. In this regard, Xiao Tang is a little bit... At first, Mr. Tang wanted to find a family for his youngest son. It's just a marriage, who knows that stupid people have stupid blessings, luck comes, and it can't be stopped. The stupid boy first got a candidate in Fujian, and you know that Xiao Tang was only seventeen at that time, so he could come up with it very well. hands.Mr. Tang's requirements for the younger son's marriage can't help but be raised by a higher level. Just when he was about to think about the marriage, it's okay to fight in Fujian. Mr. Tang has won a lot of rewards, but it's just a delay. The son's marriage was delayed.This delay is not a bad thing, now the idiot has come to Jiangbeiling's golden brick archway again, and, not just for a name, the idiot is really learning from Jiangbeiling.Master Tang was secretly delighted, feeling that his son's marriage should be raised by another level.It's just that now the old wife is in her hometown, the war is in turmoil, and there are no prominent people in her hometown, so how can she say goodbye to her son.

Moreover, if you go to Jiangnan, how many years will you be able to return?

Master Tang had an idea, and entrusted Princess Xie with the younger son's marriage, and asked Princess Xie to watch over his son's family marriage. Master Tang said, "I don't know when I will return, old minister. Now that his wife is in his hometown, he even told the minister to find a marriage for Ah Jin. The minister was only worried that he would not be able to have this time in recent years, and he did not want to delay Ah Jin's youth. Hearing from Ah Jin, the empress treated him very well, so the minister had the audacity to ask for it. As long as the empress looks suitable, it must be very suitable." Xiao Tang Dahao, Tang Jin.

Princess Xie was asked to be a matchmaker for the first time in her life. She did not reject Mr. Tang outright. She asked, "I know only a few people. Mr. Tang wants me to be a matchmaker for Xiao Tang. I am afraid that I will choose among the people I know." gone."

Master Tang was very happy, what kind of circle is Princess Xie, even if he is looking for a daughter of Xie's family, Master Tang is also very willing.Master Tang immediately said, "Please take care of everything, Your Majesty."

Princess Xie asked Mr. Tang again if he had any requests. Mr. Tang thought for a while and said, "Ah Jin has a temper, and I only hope to have a stable and beautiful woman."

Princess Xie said she knew.

Master Tang thanked you again, and then bid farewell to Princess Xie.

So, without Xiao Tang's knowledge, his marriage affairs were transferred to Concubine Xie's hands. Concubine Xie inevitably wanted to listen to Xiao Tang's opinion. The matter was very traditional, and Xiao Tang said simply, "Just be sensible. A sensible person, even if he is not very capable, will not do bad things." Just when Princess Xie secretly praised Xiao Tang for his insight, Xiao Tang was triumphant Said, "This is what my family's ancestors said. Listen to your ancestors, and you will never be wrong."

Concubine Xie nodded her head, thinking that it is true that the family of the eunuchs, if their children and grandchildren are willing to escape, if they follow the precepts of their ancestors, they will be able to live a good life.

Concubine Xie was about to win over the Tang family, so she took Xiao Tang's matter to heart.Then, the next day, she received the news of the great victory in the south of the Yangtze River. The memorial of the fifth prince's victory came later than the memorial of Yong'an Hou, but it was a real joy to recover Jiangxi. Everyone in the Min Palace was overjoyed. .

Xie Moru also received the fifth prince's family letter, the fifth prince's family wrote very detailed, first he said that he had obtained a lot of food and grass from Shu at the beginning of the year, and the logistics were extremely capable, and that it was not the fifth prince Liu who took back Jiangxi this time. Fufeng uses soldiers like gods. In fact, Jiangxi itself started the chaos first. Since King Jingjiang adopted the policy of destroying your family and dividing your land if you don’t surrender, the big and wealthy families in Jiangnan have been hit hard. Moreover, King Jingjiang wanted to buy people’s hearts. , is to distribute the land of the rich and powerful to the common people.Here I would like to introduce King Jingjiang's policy. In fact, when dealing with big households who refuse to surrender, King Jingjiang belongs to the attacking side. You really don't have to be too polite. I even hacked in with a knife, and you still don't surrender?If you don't surrender, you will naturally be hacked to death.As for the matter of dividing the land, everyone was hacked to death, and the inheritance behind him was naturally taken over by King Jingjiang. Out of consideration for winning people's hearts, King Jingjiang distributed it to the people according to the size of each household. The people were so happy that they died, but what you need to know is , The land that has been divided up is a lot of tax collectors.

King Jingjiang's move not only wins the hearts of the people, but also curbs land annexation.

But, there has to be a limit to everything.

The dead big households who refused to surrender were all hacked to death, and the gentry who were willing to surrender, you can’t just hack to death and confiscate their property, otherwise, you won’t give them any way of life, and they would rather die than surrender .

Here lies the problem. King Jingjiang's policy is actually not a problem at all, but there is a problem with the propaganda orientation. Of course, even if Jingjiang's propaganda orientation is okay, the fifth prince will have to let him have some problems.Seeing that killing a gentry would give them land, the common people demanded that two more gentry be killed to share their land.Don't think that mentioning the common people means being docile like lambs. In fact, lambs will not hesitate to evolve into carnivorous creatures in the face of interests.At first, some common people reported that the gentry had colluded with the imperial court, and then the common people were rewarded for reporting.After that, more reports were reported, so that everyone in the wealthy family in Jiangxi was in danger.When the safety of life cannot be guaranteed, often the safety of society cannot be guaranteed either.It was a turbulent era, the land that was just laid down was not very secure, and the fifth prince who was next to him was always looking at it and making trouble. Didn’t King Jingjiang just give us some land? The banner played by this group of people is not to divide the land.People said, follow the rebellion, and be king in the future.

The fifth prince also emphasized in his letter that this is a group of bandits taking advantage of the situation to raise troops. In fact, they don't have much organization and equipment, but they are very familiar with the local routes and can easily add chaos to the Jingjiang garrison.The fifth prince sent a lot of secret agents to Jiangxi. You must know that the fifth prince is very experienced in cooperating with bandits and sea bandits.Besides, among the bandits in the world, Duan Sihai is the only one who is good at Taoism. This nest of bandits is obviously not good enough. The Fifth Prince sent a spy to join the gang. The fifth prince responded internally, and afterwards asked the fifth prince to send the bandit leader back to the west after he was unfortunately injured by "random arrows" in the rebellion.Then, the fifth prince also confiscated them, but continued to let his family lead the rest of the bandits and the people, all the way to Anhui with a hoe on their shoulders.

As soon as the fifth prince arrived in Gandi, the gentry in Gandi were so excited to see him as if they were seeing rain, and they brought out good wine and food to entertain the laborers.At that time, most of the officials in Jiangxi had died for their country, so the fifth prince simply asked the generals stationed in Jiangxi to take charge of government affairs temporarily. Of course, generals may not be good at government affairs, and that's okay. When the Regulations on Fumin come, recruit a few local celebrities to help.Yes, although Jingjiang has killed many wealthy families, he is still very polite to the well-known Confucian scholars. These people are not rich in wealth, but their reputation is very loud. So the soldiers under his command also endured them.Now that the fifth prince came, he immediately asked them to come forward to help. These people were very welcome when they heard that the fifth prince was here to set things right.In the past, they didn't feel that the imperial court was good, but with Jingjiang's comparison, these people immediately felt that the imperial court was a good person.

As for those who flattered Jingjiang when Jingjiang occupied Jiangxi, the fifth prince was not polite, and took away the family wealth, half for military use and half for civilian use.

The fifth prince regained Gan land in this way.

Here, of course, there is the luck of the fifth prince, but it is obvious that the fifth prince's ability to make the most of the situation is also first-class.Emperor Mu Yuan was overjoyed to receive the good news that his five sons had regained Jiangxi, and he ate an extra bowl for lunch that day.When the prince heard about this, he also greatly praised the fifth prince's ability.

The morale of both civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty was greatly boosted by this memorial.

At this time, the court didn't know that the five princes had just taken over Jiangxi and received a frantic counterattack from Jingjiang, especially Feng Wan and Feng Feiyu, the generals of Jingjiang, who really hated the five princes. During the winter solstice, the fifth prince was driven out of Jiangxi twice, and this was still with Li Yu's reinforcements.

In the end, the five princes took control of Jiangxi, not because they killed Feng Feiyu, but because an earth-shattering event happened in Jingjiang Palace. .

Prince Jingjiang died.

To be honest, if King Jingjiang had died, there might not be such a shock. After all, King Jingjiang was old, so even if he died now, his life would not be short lived.But Prince Jingjiang is different, Prince Jingjiang is in his prime, just in his forties, he is usually safe and healthy, why did he die?
This is too sudden.

Anyone with a little imagination knows that this is not a good death.

It is true that Jingjiang Shizi did not die well, he was poisoned to death at his third brother's family banquet.

How on earth was it poisoned to death?

Uh--

Not sure yet.

Yes, it's not clear yet.

It stands to reason that at least Mu Sanlang couldn't get away with the poisoning of his son at Mu Sanlang's house. Even King Jingjiang immediately interrogated Mu Sanlang himself. Mu Sanlang wanted to drink poisoned wine when he was wronged. , Holding the old man's thigh and screaming for grievances, crying, "I dare not have such a heart! If you take a step back, who would poison your own home?"

In addition, Mu Sanmu's mother, Concubine Qiu, is King Jingjiang's favorite, and she interceded for her son, "Even a fool would not be able to do such a thing."

But you said it wasn't Mu Sanlang who did it. King Jingjiang has always favored this son, and Mu Sanlang is so powerful that he can stand up to his son.Once the son dies, he benefits the most.According to the logical inference that the victim is the murderer, it must be Mu Sanlang!What's more, the matter was caused by Mu Sanlang's residence.

Even with eight hundred mouths, Mu Sanlang couldn't speak clearly!

Who is Feng Feiyu? Feng Feiyu is the confidant of Prince Jingjiang.

Because Feng Feiyu fought on the front line, the political status of Prince Jingjiang was further consolidated, and the direct line faction was happy about it, but boom, the prince died.It's really heartbreaking!
Others have already started to think about the political situation after the death of the son. Feng Feiyu is really heartbroken. You must know that being able to become a confidant depends not only on benefits, but also on feelings.

Feng Feiyu was a poor young man, and all he got along the way was the favor of his son.Now the great kindness has not been repaid, and the benefactor is dead.

Feng Feiyu didn't give up.

As a result, the general stopped fighting, and only stared at the criminal department in Jingjiang to investigate the case.

Didn't the fifth prince and his gang take advantage of this? The main reason is that Feng Feiyu is too cruel in battle. Although Liu Fufeng is not a good guy, the fifth prince can tell when he enters and exits from Jiangxi. Feng Feiyu's fighting skills are not inferior to Liu Fufeng's.

Of course, Feng Feiyu went back to investigate the case, and the fighting couldn't stop. King Jingjiang sent Zhao Yang, a general who was close to Mu San.With that ferocious guy Feng Feiyu in front, although Zhao Yang used his troops steadily, he really lacked a sense of sharpness, and he was not as good as Liu Fufeng. That's it, the fifth prince has secured the ground.
