Extraordinary daily life starting from evil spirits

Seeing this secret report, Jia Xu bowed to the emperor again, then exited the emperor's bedroom and returned to his mansion.After returning to the mansion, Jia Xu directly threw the secret report into a pot of flames and turned it into ashes.

"It seems that the emperor is still nostalgic, and he didn't let the lord save him in vain. Forget it... In fact, some things are best dealt with when the lord returns. .”

"But Jin Yiwei and Nishang must all be dispatched. I want to receive all the news from the general as soon as possible." Jia Xu closed his eyes and posted a message to the corner.

Soon there was a sound similar to knocking sticks, but the whole Pingyuan City did not calm down because of the emperor's mobilization of troops, but undercurrents surged.The most important thing among them was the woman, who was very happy to drink some wine to celebrate after learning that the kite was trapped.

"It's time for the emperor to marry me as a concubine... As long as I can successfully give birth to a son and a half daughter for the emperor, I will definitely be the queen." The daughter of the Zhen family is very happy, she has already All industries have been relocated to the plains.

After cheating Yuan Shao, Zhen Ji led people to sneak away long ago, and came to Qingzhou openly and aboveboard.And under Zhen Ji's activities, all the credit for Qingzhou's defeat of Yuan Shao this time was credited to her.

If Zhen Ji hadn't revealed the information, it would be impossible for the general to burn Anping's food and grass.If Zhen Ji hadn't set fire to the food and grass of Yuan Shao's army, the Qingzhou army would not have defeated Yuan Shao so easily.

Anyway, in the current situation, everyone can see that Yuan Shao is definitely doomed. Why doesn't Zhen Ji dare to use this opportunity to create momentum for herself.And because many towns in Jizhou are actually controlled by the Zhen family, it is a bit easier for the Qingzhou army to accept it.

The Zhen family is rich and has one foot in the gentry class, so they have gained some supporters here in Qingzhou.After all, Zhen Ji is also a woman, and the struggle between women is even more terrifying than the court battle.

Especially when Zhen Ji deliberately revealed that she would marry Liu Bian and become a concubine, this won the support of many newcomers in Qingzhou.That Wang Juyi was one of them. He was originally in the labor market, but now he naturally needed to cooperate with a businessman.

And what is the purpose of cooperation?Naturally for a large number of slaves.Although Qingzhou has abolished slaves, even those who serve as servants for others must report.But there are exceptions to everything. For some stubborn captives or foreigners, there are still slaves.

Most of these slaves were used to mine minerals, or to do some manpower and dangerous work.Of course, they are not called slaves, but criminals...Wang Juyi found Zhen Ji, hoping that Zhen Ji could get some criminals over.

After all, criminals have the least human rights, and even some felons can be killed.Although criminals also have records, many systems in Qingzhou are not yet complete, so naturally there are many loopholes that can be used to make small moves.

These criminals/slaves are the best substitutes for those slaves in the past, especially some female criminals... many of them are the direct lineal women after the original gentry family ransacked their homes. The arrangement of these people is just to make them some weavers Atonement.

But when it comes to Wang Juyi, it is naturally different. Now Qingzhou's labor market is monopolized by him. Whether it is servants looking for work, some craftsmen, or even slaves, they are all arranged by him.

There are basically no slaves in Qingzhou, and Wang Juyi dare not touch these people.But Jizhou has just been defeated. Whether it is cleaning up the foundation of the gentry or some war criminals, the number of slaves will definitely not decrease.

So Wang Juyi naturally cooperated with Zhen Ji, and asked Zhen Ji to transport more people from Jizhou, and he would handle the money from the trafficking.Zhen Ji readily agreed... Although she didn't earn much money, she had the support of a high-level executive in Qingzhou.

Of course, Wang Juyi's exchange condition for Zhen Ji is naturally that he helps Zhen Ji become the emperor's concubine as soon as possible, and Zhen Ji will naturally give Wang Juyi benefits after becoming a concubine.

Wang Juyi has also been in Qingzhou for more than ten years. He was originally a poor scholar.After getting up now, I naturally don't want to live the hard life of the past, so now that I have power, I will naturally start to take it back.

Even after cooperating with Zhen Ji again, Wang Juyi felt that Zhen Ji's approach was more in line with his appetite.And the original General Zhi Yuan was too strict with old people like them.

So in Wang Juyi's heart, he wished that in the heart of the emperor, Zhen Ji would quickly replace Zhi Yuan as the new controller.And some other gentry, such as Yang Xiu and others... also began to conspire to support Zhen Ji.

After all, as long as Zhen Ji becomes a concubine and has a crown prince...then the consideration of the emperor Liu Bian will naturally rely on his son. Although the tiger girl is a princess in name, that is, the elder sister of the emperor, but in reality The above two people have no blood relationship at all.

The big man's princess is not worth much, and used to be used for marriage.So these people felt that this was the best way to move the kite, especially after the news that the kite was trapped came.

Move the paper kite down, and then control the court... Isn't this world what my gentry say?

Chapter 510 Nine: Correct Answer

Jia Xu himself is from the intelligence department, and he knows the current situation in Qingzhou clearly.

However, since Zhiyuan might not necessarily be defeated by Cao Cao, Jia Xu still exercised restraint towards those people.

Because even if you do it, you have to do it with Zhiyuan... He, Jia Xu, can control the form and wait for Zhiyuan to come back. Jia Xu doesn't think he has the right to make decisions for Zhiyuan.

But if something happened to the kite, or if the kite was caught by Cao Cao, then Jia Xu wouldn't care.Because he must use the fastest speed to stabilize the form, so as to avoid being calculated by others in the future.

When it comes to self-protection ability, Jia Xu dares to put it first, but no one dares to put it second.And now the situation is still under Jia Xu's control, so he wants to see how far it will go.

Not only Jia Xu didn't care, but even the emperor didn't care.This made Yang Xiu and the others even more arrogant. Although Chen Qun ran away, most of the gentry were still there.

Someone even planned to let Tang Tian and Tang Zhen come back to preside over the overall situation... But this proposal was also rejected by Yang Xiu.Their Yang family can also be considered four generations and three fathers, and it is still time to take the lead.

So Yang Xiu sent people to publicize that the general was defeated and killed by Cao Cao, and on the other hand, he went to make friends with Ping Yuan, the general of the Qingzhou army.

After fighting with Zhiyuan for so many years, Yang Xiu knew clearly that without the support of the generals and the control of the army... he would not be able to do anything he wanted.

Now the main part of Qingzhou's army is in the hands of Zang Ba, the faction of the Son of Heaven. Zang Ba led people to support Xuzhou in the past, but after the crisis in Xuzhou was resolved, he has led people back to the plains.

Xu Huang originally controlled the emperor's forbidden army, but now there are too few talents...so Xu Huang was sent by the emperor to Jingzhou to carry out land reform.On the contrary, here in Qingzhou, there are only two generals directly under the emperor, one is Zang Ba and the other is Gao Shun.

Gao Shun still took refuge with the emperor, and he couldn't go back to Lu Bu's side.But because the power of being trapped in the camp is not small, the emperor asked him to train the imperial army, that is, the army of Habayashi cavalry.

Now the main soldiers in Pingyuan are under the control of Zang Ba and Gao Shun.And the rest... are under the control of the generals of the Yellow Turban Army. Among them, the 5000 people guarding the city gate with the largest official rank are managed by Huanglong.

The name Huang Long was a bit ridiculed by the crowd, so now he changed his name to Huang Yi... Among these people, Zang Ba is closer to the gentry.Because Zang Ba respects the gentry more, and desires to become a member of the gentry himself.

The gentry had tentatively communicated with Zang Ba, and what was surprising was that Zang Ba agreed to support them.In this way, the gentry was very pleasantly surprised. They did not expect to win over a general with real power so easily.

Of course, one of the main reasons why Zang Ba agreed to cooperate with the other party was that he was not on the same side as Zhi Yuan.After Zhi Yuan gave him to Liu Bian, Zang Ba belonged to the emperor's faction.

As long as I don't go too far, using these nobles may be able to improve my status even more.And if he could pry the foundation of the kite, then Zang Ba actually wanted to do it too.

Chaozhong Zhiyuan's subordinates are dominant, and the rest, whether they are nobles or imperial parties, have the same right to speak and control.It was nothing more than that Xu Huang was able to get a Jingzhou Mu, but the rest of the states were not all the people of the General Zhiyuan?

So since he is an imperial party, he naturally has to consider for the emperor.This is also one of the main reasons why they are now cooperating with the gentry. Who made the kite so influential.

Of course, Zang Ba didn't know one thing, that is, those gentry actually wanted to stage a coup.A coup d'état in the palace... wiped out Zhiyuan's camp.Then the gentry controlled the emperor, allowing the gentry to return to the court in the true sense again.

When Zhiyuan was safe, everyone didn't even dare to breathe, but now that Zhiyuan had an accident, they all jumped out one by one.Of course, Zhiyuan is really afraid of this in her heart, she is afraid that her achievements will be destroyed.

The emperor looked at the detailed records of Jinyiwei and Nishang every day, but he didn't care about anything.The intelligence work of these two organizations established by Zhiyuan has already been able to control even villages and towns in the countryside.

After today's emperor read the information and said that there was a secret meeting of the gentry with Zang Ba, he still didn't say anything.On the contrary, Jian Shuo, who was standing next to him, couldn't sit still anymore. The emperor was really not in a hurry and the eunuch said, "Everyone, don't you want to do something? If this goes on, the country will be in turmoil, even if the general has too much power. , and there should be civil unrest at this time."

Liu Bian laughed: "Jian Shuo...how can you be sure that I didn't do anything?"

"My sister...she has great power, but to be honest...I don't think she has any disobedience."

"If my sister really wanted to become the empress, she wouldn't have taken the trouble to lift me out back then. Alas, there are some secrets that only me and her know, and there is another person who doesn't know about you."

"And my sister is well aware of the consequences of a family dominance, which is why there are so many people who oppose her. Otherwise, if the nobles are directly executed, how can there be things like today?"

"If the problem of the gentry can really be solved once and for all, then...there will be imperial power in the future. Why do you think I want to stop my sister?"

Jian Shuo paused for a moment, then sighed again: "Then everyone, what will happen to your sister in the future?"

Liu Bian smiled wryly this time: "I don't know...but I believe that you and Bi Lan are absolutely loyal to me, right?"

Jian Shuo nodded immediately: "I will die for the emperor!"

Liu Bian took a piece of information, and said to Jian Shuo, "Actually, this is what I'm most worried about, because I don't know what to do with him."

Jian Shuo naturally knew the piece of information that Liu Bian took, and then he asked hesitantly, "Didn't this guy say he was going to marry the general, and later he erected a statue for the general?"

"And just based on this information, doesn't it mean that he betrayed the general?"

Liu Bian sighed: "Everyone depends on everyone's position. In fact, what he thinks is not difficult to guess. Even if he didn't tell me about it, I can understand..."

"Because he hopes to kill more people, whether it's from the gentry or from my side. Because he is already a member of the new party supported by my sister, and they naturally hope to control the court forever."

"Those gentry naively thought that their plan was foolproof, but once they acted this time, it would be a catastrophe. This is why I have not expressed my position, because I don't want all the gentry to die."

"Just like when I was young, my relatives and eunuchs were wrong, and they couldn't all be wiped out by the gentry. Otherwise, who can guarantee that he will not be the next Dong Zhuo? One him, one Yuan Shu, the influence of these two people on the court Not a little force."

"Especially this person... Now all the merchants in the whole country have been drawn into the merchant alliance by him. Although I have a [-]% share there, once it loses control, it will be a giant beast."

Jian Shuo really felt that the emperor was thinking more and more, so what should the emperor do after thinking so much?

Liu Bian laughed: "The knife left behind by my sister is coming back soon, how can I end it myself as the emperor?"

Chapter 520: All in layout

The gentry didn't know about Jin Yiwei's abilities at all. Of course, after they did things in secret, they also began to plan against the Zhiyuan faction in the open.

First of all, someone suggested in the court that the situation in Jizhou is not clear now, and someone should take the lead in dealing with things there after the general is trapped.

So someone suggested that Xi Zhicai take people to Jizhou to stabilize the situation, because Xi Zhicai is an old man in Qingzhou, so many troops and generals are very easy to manage.

Xi Zhicai is now one of the nine ministers, only one step away from Sangong.In fact, there are now three people in the position of Sangong, one is Master Cai... one is Liu Yu, and the other is Yang Xiu's father Yang Biao.

These three people, Cai Da, naturally represent the family of Zhiyuan, Liu Yu represents the emperor, and Yang Biao represents the gentry.It's just that the three princes are all decorations on weekdays, and Jiuqing is the main means to control the court.

Although Zhiyuan has already done a good job in the reform of the imperial court, after all, this thing is done step by step. The reform of such a huge country cannot be completed in a year or two.

Therefore, in order to ensure the operation of the court, the system of Sangong Jiuqing must continue before the Zhiyuan New Deal is fully implemented.But now, whether it's Xi Zhicai, or Jia Xu, Guo Jia and others, they are actually all within Jiuqing.

Guo Jia has been in Youzhou all year round, but Xi Zhicai and Jia Xu are both in Pingyuan.There is another person who also mixed into Jiuqing because of his great influence, and this person is Zheng De.

Now the gentry intends to transfer Xi Zhicai away, because most of Zhiyuan's power is basically controlled by Xi Zhicai. Once the gentry control the court after Xi Zhicai is transferred, nothing will change even if Xi Zhicai comes back.

After Xi Zhicai heard about Zhiyuan's accident, he nodded and agreed to go to Jizhou to stabilize the situation, and took away another high-level executive, Ruan Yuanyu.

Another proposal of the gentry was also supported by the emperor.That means the Son of Heaven should accept a concubine... Many people know that Liu Bian likes Zhi Yuan's goddaughter, but this does not affect the Son of Heaven from marrying a concubine.

After all, Liu Bian is now in his 20s, and it is very troublesome to have no descendants.Even though the son of heaven is not very old, in this era when the average life expectancy is not high, naturally the more offspring the better.

And that little girl Zhen Luo is just a concubine.In fact, there are quite a few young women in both Zhiyuan's camp and the gentry's camp. Nowadays, marriage is still the fastest way to advance, and there is no one.

Liu Bian had agreed to this matter a long time ago, this time it was just to choose a date.And the time was a little rushed, just five days later...

The gentry couldn't wait any longer, and while Zhiyuan was not in Qingzhou, they wanted to kill Zhiyuan's people directly.Even if that woman Zhiyuan really came back in the future, so what if she didn't have her own power and had to compromise with the gentry in the end.

As for the fear of being slaughtered by the kite?There are also people in the gentry who are not afraid of death. Anyway, the foundation of the kite is destroyed by them, even if you are killed... No one will use your kite in the future.

Therefore, some cannon fodder who took the initiative to come out to die were already preparing to deal with the Zhiyuan people by means of Qing Jun's side.Xi Zhicai is very capable and has no handle, so Xi Zhicai was transferred away from the plain.

The final goal of the gentry is actually Jia Xu and dozens of newly promoted officials.The newly promoted officials suppressed the gentry most strongly, and many of them were students taught by Zhiyuan.

Zhiyuan's school in Qingzhou has been established for more than ten years, and these people are the backbone of Zhiyuan's camp.Because they were all ordinary people or even mud-legged people, these people hated the gentry even more.

So these people were targeted by the gentry. After the atmosphere was found to be wrong, some officials also approached Jia Xu for help.

A civilian official named Wei Xinyu said to Jia Xu: "The former Communist Party sent his men to Penglai to investigate the tax situation, but they were intercepted and killed! Some local officials later reported that bandits did it. Just kidding!"

"It has been many years since there was a bandit profession in Qingzhou, so I was going to investigate the Penglai countryside, but was suppressed by the sheriff of Penglai County."

"Haha, who doesn't know that the governor of Penglai has a good relationship with Yang Xiu, and the eunuch wants to make decisions for us. Now the general is only in danger, and these nobles can't sit still!"

Jia Xu sighed: "I got the news, and I have sent people to investigate. Don't worry... I will give them justice for your subordinates' affairs."

Wei Xinyu nodded, and then said to Jia Xu: "Private servant...the gentry have been active recently, and I always feel that they want to make trouble. Now that the general is away, the servant must pay attention to safety. Biting."

Jia Xu smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I also have arrangements. In the past few days, you have asked everyone to be careful, and I will send someone to protect you."

Some civil servants told Jia Xu about their recent work and other things, and then they all quit.But Jia Xu said to the position of his bed, behind the wall: "Divide out a few waves of manpower, and protect these officials from now on."

"Those nobles do have the possibility of doing something. I can't let the Lord's men die."

There was the sound of wooden sticks hitting from the position in the wall, and then calm was restored.Then Jia Xu frowned, and glanced at a secret letter again.

"Pass my order. Tomorrow, [-] troops from the military workshop on Erlong Mountain outside the city will be quietly transferred to Pingyuan City. Enter through the secret road at night and second watch, and deploy to the inner city barracks...don't let anyone find out. "

"Where is Huang Yi responsible for the arrangements in the military camp? In the past few days, I have been eating and drinking in the military camp, waiting for my orders. I am ordering someone to pay close attention to the woman in the Zhen family and see who she has contacted recently."

"Zheng De should also be careful, I always feel that he and we are not of the same mind." There was another series of wooden sticks hitting, and then Jia Xu left the bedroom and went outside.

There is some mist in the sky, and there are some halos around the moon. "It looks like it's going to snow... the emperor will take a concubine in three days, are they going to do it on this day?"

"Great Cold... It seems that this is still an uneasy day." Jia Xu was thoughtful.

At this moment, a person suddenly jumped in from the top of the wall.This person actually avoided the guards of the Taifu Mansion and ran in, which made Jia Xu a little nervous.

But soon Jia Xu calmed down, because he was very familiar with this person. "I'm relieved when you come..." Jia Xu smiled lightly at the visitor.

Chapter 520: Snowy Night ([-])

The time for the emperor to take concubines has come, but the weather doesn't seem to be too good. There have been a lot of snowflakes since the morning.But fortunately, the wind is not strong enough, and the snowy day will not be too cold.

Although it is not to marry a regular wife, there are still necessary ceremonies.Therefore, the entire Chang'an City is also decorated with lights and festoons. The common people here are very happy, leading their children to buy things in some planned shopping malls in the plain, or directly waiting for the team to welcome their relatives.

Those women are all outside the city, even if they are going to marry, they have to be outside the city.Liu Bian's reputation here in Qingzhou is still very good, and Liu Bian is really good at treating the common people, so the common people naturally support the new emperor's rule.

Now the population in Pingyuan has reached more than 8000 households, and the population is close to 20... This is just the population of Pingyuan City, not counting the entire Pingyuan County.If the entire Pingyuan County is included, the population is no less than 80.

So even if Liu Bian didn't marry his regular wife, the whole plain was boiling.But Liu Bian in the palace sighed: "Bi Lan, let the magistrate take control during the day."

"At night...today's curfew. And in the afternoon, you inform Habayashi to get ready."

Bi Lan nodded, then retreated silently.Liu Bianze's eyes were slightly red, and he sighed: "Ten years ago... when I was only 13 years old, I experienced this kind of coup."

"At that time, if it wasn't for my sister, I'm afraid I would have died a long time ago... I really didn't expect that after so many years, I would have to go through it again..." Liu Bian complained to himself.

But speaking of it, no matter who wins tonight, he has nothing to do.The loss of people tonight will definitely affect the running of this new big man.It's a pity that the emperor has no ability to stop it, or Liu Bian stopped it once, twice, can he continue to stop it?

Even Liu Bian complained about Zhi Yuan in his heart, knowing that she and the gentry were irreconcilable, but she wanted to merge with each other.Although there were indeed some gentry who took refuge in Zhiyuan, more gentry still paid attention to their own status.
