Chapter 173 The big pit dug by the eldest nephew (I want to live for decades 1)(1/2)
The hotter the weather, the more stressful life in Chenzhou becomes.
At this time, the three major ministries would mobilize their troops and go south to plunder.
This year, the Jibo Department was slapped, so it should be quieter. Only the Vashe Department and the Tiger Control Department are left.
Liu Qing sent a messenger to order the five county magistrates to alert the three major troops to go south to repair the city and train the army.
This is normal, so the military and civilians should do whatever they are supposed to do.
Liu Qing went to inspect the crops, and when he came back satisfied, he received a letter from Yang Xuan.
"Retaliation against the Kibo Department?"
In his letter, Yang Xuan passionately expressed his sympathy for Zhangyu County and his hatred for the Jibo Department.
"The Jibo tribe attacked our Zhangyu County seat. Naturally, they wanted to retaliate, but the timing was not right." Lu Qiang analyzed: "If we send troops to retaliate at this moment, the three major tribes will just be idle. Once the war starts, the outcome will be decided.
What is going to happen to us is our crops?"
The so-called people who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes. The grassland tribes wander around, but the Central Plains people are settled.
Once you settle down, you will have fixed assets, such as a city, a house, fields and crops... you can't bear to part with any of them.
Liu Qing pondered.
"It's best to do it after the autumn harvest, but that's when the pasture is plentiful and the horses are majestic. This matter needs to be considered in the long run."
Liu Qing convened a discussion with the officials, and they all felt that it would be pleasant to send troops to retaliate at this moment, but the subsequent retaliation from the three major ministries would make Chenzhou lose nothing this year.
"They raise the horses well, let's plant the land well, and wait until the harvest is harvested." Han Li's words won the hearts of the people.
Lu Qiang added: "But we must not let the Jibo tribe be proud. I think we should continue to send rangers deep into the Jibo tribe and make them panic. Otherwise, who will take me, Chenzhou, and the Tang Dynasty seriously in the future?"
"
"Good!" Liu Qing nodded.
Immediately, the knights set off, with the belief of revenge, and continued to harass the Kibo tribe.
Yang Xuan's reputation as a jealous enemy also came to fruition as expected.
"Yang Ming's house hates evil as much as hatred!"
Even the officials from Zhangyu County who came to deliver beef jerky gratefully presented rainbow farts.
"Lang Jun's prestige has been raised to a higher level." Cao Ying said with a smile.
"It's still far from enough." Yang Xuan said humbly.
The two bickered for a while until the scouts arrived.
"Mingfu, we met a man from the west today. He is from the Tang Dynasty. He claims to be some kind of noble man."
"I'll go and ask." The old thief went out to ask.
He came back later and whispered: "Someone from Prince Liang's house."
"Prince Liang?" Yang Xuan covered his forehead and recalled.
Cao Ying said: "The King of Liang is the elder of the clan and has great prestige. Even the emperor is quite afraid of him."
Liang Wang Li Zhong was the younger brother of Emperor Xuande and the ancestor of the current emperor. He was of very high seniority. It is said that the emperor once scolded him for being too old to die, but Liang Wang was quite happy and felt that it was a pleasure to cause trouble for the emperor.
"The King of Liang also had ambitions for that position, but Emperor Xuande was so outstanding that he had no choice but to give up. Emperor Xuande showed great concern for him, and King Liang took this opportunity to greatly increase his prestige in the clan."
Yi Niang frowned, "The clan has always been dissatisfied with the emperor, and Prince Liang is the leader. It is said that Prince Liang and his family have four surnames... which means they are closer to the queen."
You won't cuckold the false emperor, right?
Yang Xuan thought of this almost subconsciously.
Cao Ying was obviously the same, with a strange look on her face. Yi Niang glared and slapped the table, "That's the bitch!"
Not sure!
Ever since he learned that the pseudo-emperor and his son were in the same camp, Yang Xuan had given up hope on the integrity of the royal family.
As for being filial to the emperor, I think that person is a unique member of the royal family. Otherwise, how could he hold a good hand of cards and end up playing badly?
Yi Niang said seriously: "Your Majesty is a good man with great talent and great strategy."
Naturally, this His Majesty cannot be Li Mi and his son, which refers to filial piety to the emperor.
Cao Ying also nodded, "Yes."
So Yang Xuan completed a self-salvation in his heart: Most of the royal family are not good people, but my father is born out of filth. I inherited my father's blood and I am also a good person.
"Why is he here?" Cao Ying straightened out the relationship, "The man is named as the imperial concubine. Prince Liang and his family have four surnames, which means they are the same as the queen. He shouldn't come."
"We'll see you later." Yang Xuan was also curious about the purpose of this messenger's visit.
Especially since this messenger came from the grassland.
Then the envoy was brought in. He looked like a man in his twenties, with a gray face, and the clothes on his body were similar to those of a beggar, with an angry look on his face.
"Sun Jian has seen Yang Ming's Mansion and asked Yang Ming's Mansion to retreat."
The old thief sneered.
Wang Laoer looked at his palms.
"Say it." Yang Xuan was annoyed by such nagging people the most, "If nothing happens, go away."
He was going to visit the Rejuvenation Pill workshop.
The emperor's uncle was recently entangled with him about the deposit issue. Yang Xuan insisted on a deposit, otherwise he would not produce it. The emperor's uncle said that I want as much as you can produce, but whether the payment can be owed.
hehe!
Thinking of this, Yang Xuan wanted to laugh.
Yang Xuan might have believed it on another person, but Helianchun Grassland was known as a bully and was shameless. Who would dare to do credit business with him?
Besides, that’s not how you do business.
Sun Jian looked at the old thieves and the others, "My young husband is in the Jibo Department."
"Who?" Cao Ying frowned.
Sun Jian looked at the old thief and the others again.
"They are all my confidants." Yang Xuan said.
Sun Jian shook his head, "It's a very important matter."
"Even if I go to assassinate Helian Feng, I will take them with me."
Sun Jian took a deep breath, looked back, and saw Zhen Siwen outside the door decisively avoiding him.
Nice manner.
Yang Xuan nodded secretly.
Sun Jian turned around and whispered: "My young master is Li Han from Prince Liang's palace."
Cao Ying's right hand on the water glass moved slightly, and then she said calmly: "We don't know this person."
Li Han is the beloved grandson of Li Zhong, the king of Liang.
He knows.
Yi Niang also knew.
But now I can only act stupid.
"My young man is the most beloved junior of King Liang. He wants the stars but not the moon."
"oh!"
Yang Xuan took the lead, and a group of people yelled in surprise.
It seemed that he was surprised that the old man, King Liang, still loved his grandson.
Sun Jian hid the disdain in his eyes, "Just a while ago, the young man went to the north to pray for King Liang..."
Yang Xuan and the old ghost looked at each other, and both recalled their experience of going to the grassland to touch bones not long after arriving in Taiping, and the excuse was to pray for God's blessings.
hehe!
There are countless gods worshiped in the Tang Dynasty. What gods can there be outside the northern border?
See through, don’t tell.
"This trip was quite successful. Maybe it was the promise made by the gods, but it required mortals to pay the price. On the way back, we encountered the Kibo tribe's riders and were subsequently captured."
The story is very touching.
Yang Xuan's face was expressionless.
Cao Ying even sarcastically said: "Taiping is too weak to rescue the young man."
Since the King of Liang was on good terms with the four surnames of the family, it was natural that Yang Xuan, the concubine's licking dog, could not flatter him.
Sun Jian's cheeks trembled slightly, "The young man said that he was willing to pay for redemption. So letters were exchanged between Chang'an and the Jibo Department. Seeing that the matter was taking shape, the Yangming Mansion tried its best to propose revenge against the Jibo Department. News, then the Chenzhou Rangers continued to penetrate deeper into the grassland, and everyone in the Jibo Department was panicked..."
Yang Xuan: "..."
Cao Ying, "..."
Yi Niang: "???"
Old thief: "!!!"
A group of people were dumbfounded.
"You mean, when Wynn heard the news, he was going to kill your young man!?" Cao Ying asked.
To be continued...
