When the whole of Shanxi and even the whole of the north was stirred up by him, he disappeared.
Disappeared without a trace.
It was as if he had been snatched away and eaten by a tiger in some ravine, but everyone knew that this was purely a fantasy. Sooner or later, he would appear under Taiyuan City, and the day he appeared under Taiyuan City would be the day when Jin
The day when the king faced the test of life and death.
The best way at this time is to let King Jin go out for a while.
But the King of Jin could not leave Taiyuan City.
Because there is no imperial decree.
The imperial decree given to him by his father was to stay in Taiyuan City and wait for the imperial envoy's investigation.
If he leaves without authorization, he is disobeying the order.
Then his nephew would give him a fatal blow without hesitation. Even at this time, many people were speculating that Yang Feng and Huang Taisun were deliberately forcing him to leave Taiyuan without authorization, and then leaving without authorization.
The charges against him in the feudal city can be justified. After all, it is basically impossible to expect His Majesty the Emperor to punish him for assassinating his brother and nephew. The family scandal cannot be publicized, but if he leaves the feudal city without permission, his nephew can arrest him and exile him.
Okay, this already has an example from the King of Zhou.
This is the rule.
This possibility is still very high.
Of course, no matter what the truth is, and whether Yang Feng appears or not, for Wei Guogong Xu Huizu and the generals of Shanxi, they must make all preparations to protect the King of Jin.
After all, internal fighting within the Zhu family is one thing, but they were unable to protect the vassal king and allowed the vassal king to be beaten to death by Yang Feng. That was a clear death penalty.
At this time, Shanxi's generals could really say that disaster fell from the sky. Although some of them were indeed involved in this struggle, most of them still did not know about it.
He was simply tricked by King Jin.
It is estimated that many people began to secretly scold King Jin for being crazy.
In the end, all the troops that could be mobilized from various parts of Shanxi were gathered in Taiyuan, and two lines of defense were set up at the North and South Passes. The Luzhou Guards came out in full force, and together with the Qinzhou Guard Qianhu Post, prepared to defend the South Pass, the Taiyuan vanguard went south to the North Pass, and the two
One guard plus one to guard Qianhu Station, tens of thousands of troops locked up the North and South Pass. At the same time, Taiyuan's left and right guards, Taiyuan's three guards on the left, middle and right, and five guards were ready to defend Taiyuan City, and all the cavalry in the entire Shanxi guard station were on standby. In case of any situation,
At the same time, Duke Ying, Fu Youde, who was stationed in Peiping, also quickly dispatched elite cavalry to go south to Zhending, preparing to rush to Taiyuan for reinforcements as soon as there was a real need.
Then……
A sunny afternoon.
South of Taiyuan City.
"The world is going to be in chaos again!
The fight for the throne has already led to brother killing brother, uncle killing nephew, is the world still far from chaos?"
Businessman Wang An, who was about to head south to Jiezhou, looked at the cavalry galloping by.
This is patrolling and guarding around Taiyuan.
Until now, Yang Feng has not passed the North and South Passes, so it is very likely that he has bypassed them. Although it is true that he has to pass the North and South Passes to go north from Luzhou, he is a person and not an army. He can easily pass through the mountains and forests.
bypass.
Just walk a few more days.
As a result, the alert level around Taiyuan also suddenly increased.
The cavalry reinforcements from Taiyuan's left and right guards, left center and right guards, Fenyang Guard, Zhenwu Guard and other guards are all patrolling and guarding around Taiyuan. Even yesterday, two hundred cavalry came from the east. I heard that they were sent by Duke Ying. Although
As the military official of the Beiping garrison, his responsibilities are limited to the command of the Beiping capital. It is true that he cannot be transferred across the border, but it is just a different name. For example, he can transport some important materials, such as domestic slaves.
Although he does not have thousands of adopted children like Lan Yu, there are still several hundred.
All in all, this quantity is a good operation.
The King of Jin is his in-laws.
The two are political allies, and he cannot escape even if the King of Jin falls.
In fact, he must have a share.
Maybe he was one of the masterminds. After all, he was very happy sitting in Peiping these years, and he probably didn't really want Zhu Di to go back.
"Freeze said!"
The businessman Cao Yi who was walking beside him immediately reminded him in a low voice.
"What are you afraid of? The Zhu family is allowed to do it, but we ordinary people are not allowed to say it? I thought that the world was finally at peace, but I didn't want to have another troubled world."
Wang An said.
As he spoke, he flicked his whip.
The donkey beside him immediately took a step forward.
But at this moment...
"...There are sun and moon hanging in the morning and evening, there are ghosts and gods who hold the power of life and death, and heaven and earth can only distinguish between pure and dirty, but how can confusion arise and disturb the thieves, Yan Yuan? Those who do good will suffer poverty and their lives will be shortened, and those who do evil will have a short life. Enjoy wealth and longevity..."
The sound of singing suddenly reached their ears.
They looked up in shock and looked at a carriage approaching in front of them.
This is a large cart drawn by two horses.
It has four wheels and looks extremely gorgeous. There is a golden thing that looks like half a ridge tile standing on the roof of the car. There is also a pole behind the car, and a young woman is holding a flag and hanging it up. The driver was a young man, and the singing voice came from him, but there was no musician in sight. He was wearing a green shirt and looked quite elegant.
Accompanied by the sound of singing and opera, the carriage stopped in front of their pack team.
At this time, Wang An and others noticed that the singing sound came from his hands.
"Hello everyone, I'm here to redress a grievance. Is this Taiyuan City in front of me?"
The man raised his hands and said.
The woman behind finally hung up the flag. On the flag, which unfolded in the wind, there was the word "Injustice".
"Don't understand?"
The man said.
"Sir, sir, Taiyuan City is in front of you!"
Wang An said tremblingly.
They were not stupid. With this weird outfit put together, the identity of this person was already clear. This was the person who the whole of Shanxi was in a panic, and tens of thousands of troops gathered in Taiyuan to wait for him. Although they were a little surprised by this person's image.
I originally thought it was some green-faced, fanged, three-headed, six-armed monster!
I didn't expect it to be so common.
"Ah, do you want to make money?"
Yang Feng said.
The expressions of Wang An and Wang An changed instantly.
"Sir, the younger ones are businessmen, so naturally they want to make money."
He said carefully.
"So……"
Yang Feng smiled slightly.
Then he turned around and opened the door of the four-wheeler.
Wang An and others immediately exclaimed in surprise.
It was full of banknotes.
"With a hundred thousand guan on his waist, he rode a crane down to Yangzhou. Now Yang is carrying a hundred thousand guan on his car to redress the injustice in Taiyuan City. If you want to make money, then hire people for me. My price is two hundred guan per person per day. You guys No matter how many people you invite, I will give you the money according to the total number of people, and you will be responsible for distributing it to them. As for how much you pay them, I don’t care. In short, if you invite one person to pay, I will calculate it as two hundred yuan a day. I'll give you the wages.
Do it or not!”
Yang Feng said.
"Sir, what are you doing with these people? If it's something illegal, I won't dare to do it."
Wang An asked.
Two hundred coins a day, even if they give 150 coins a day, the common people will still come in droves. After all, they only need four and a half coins a month, and the government's salary for officials working in other places is only three or four coins a month. Just consistent.
And each of them will lose fifty, ten will be five hundred, and one hundred will be five.
One day!
It took two days to catch up with the county magistrate's monthly salary.
They live in the open and work as traders, earning nothing more than a few dozen dollars a year.
Why not?
Of course, if this price is illegal, it’s not worth it.
"Of course I'm not asking you to break the law. Your job is very simple. Go to Chengenmen to wave the flag and shout. It would be best if there are gongs and drums. I'll give you extra money. Those who make their own flags will also get extra money. There are really no gongs and drums. There are other things.
Anything that can make a sound will do."
Yang Feng said.
"Is suona okay?"
Cao Yi said.
"Of course, I'll teach you another song."
Yang Feng said with a smile.
Let them all play the black man outside to carry the coffin.
"Ambassador, can you take care of the food?"
Wang An said with shining eyes.
"Tube!
Three meals a day, one meal with meat, one meal with meat every three days.”
Yang Feng waved his hand and said.
He is not short of money. He only carries the 100,000 yuan in his car. Later, Zhang Ying has started to transfer funds to banks in major cities such as Peking, Xi'an, Kaifeng, Luoyang, etc. It is estimated that within half a month, there will be at least
Three hundred thousand guan arrived, and he planned to mobilize a huge sum of one million guan this time.
The goal is simple.
Smash King Jin to death!
It is definitely not possible to forcefully break into Taiyuan City and kill everyone in a river of blood.
Ambassador Yang is an envoy from a friendly country.
He came to help investigate the case under the imperial decree of the Ming Emperor.
He's not here to rebel.
What's more, the real purpose of this investigation is to create public opinion and spread the truth that King Jin was the mastermind of the assassination of King Yan and the emperor's grandson. At least it will become a fact known to everyone among the people. In this case, let's just have a national carnival!
The King of Jin would definitely not dare to see him. After all, the King of Qi had learned from his mistakes. Whether he was beaten to death or beaten into a fool, the King of Jin could not accept it. If he did not come out to see Ambassador Yang, Ambassador Yang would hire tens of thousands of people to block the door.
Call him, Ambassador Yang is an envoy from a friendly country and will not use force to break into Taiyuan. But since he is an envoy from a friendly country, isn't it illegal for him to hire someone to call the King of Jin to come out to see him?
Totally legal!
It is legal to shout as long as you want.
As for these ordinary people, of course they are not breaking the law.
As long as it is a hundred miles around Taiyuan, there is no need for road guidance, and everything is free to move. Road guidance means that there is no need to go within a hundred miles, and Ming law does not prohibit hiring workers. Ambassador Yang paid to hire them, and they
Willing to accept employment.
Consensus.
Reasonable and legal.
They are all rural residents outside the city, and they don't need to pay attention to the curfew. Even if they work in two shifts during the day and night, it will be fine. Since Yang Feng is in charge of the food, the villagers from hundreds of miles around can come here every morning to have three meals a day.
There is no need to shout, just shout a few times occasionally. The main thing is to make noise, beat gongs, drums and suonas. Even if there is nothing, just make a few whistles and blow them.
And then it goes on like this.
The longer it takes, the greater the scale of the hype surrounding this matter. If it really takes a month, it is estimated that most of the Ming Dynasty will be known to everyone.
Such a spectacle can easily spread.
If the King of Jin dares to use force...
Then his nephew would give him a fatal blow without hesitation.
What reason do you have for using force?
It's your fault for refusing to see Ambassador Yang. Ambassador Yang hired a few people to call you outside to see you. What's wrong with that? Those ordinary people were just hired to shout for you. What's wrong with them? You mobilized troops to kill innocent people without authorization.
What qualifications does the feudal king have to sit down?
You are the one who is guilty!
Of course, Ambassador Yang may have hired tens of thousands of people to shout out this message and just ignore it.
Tens of thousands of people also shouted.
The nature has not changed.
"Then hurry up and take action!"
Yang Feng took out a wad of banknotes and waved them in his hand.
"Quickly, call for people. Lao Cao, you go and buy food, pots, bowls, and firewood. Your noble ambassador, how dare you trouble the ambassador with such trivial matters."
Wang An said without hesitation.
He was quite thoughtful, so that he could make a lot of money by taking care of daily meals. After all, Yang Feng was unfamiliar with the place, so whether he was buying grain or other things, he needed compradors like them. But he
What they don't know is that the bank manager in Taiyuan has already been notified, so soon the latter will take the bank's clerk out of the city to serve their big boss.
"Brother, are we offending King Jin?"
One of his men said cautiously.
"Idiot, you have made thousands of dollars, why do you care about King Jin? The worst is, we will move. Besides, we are working for the ambassador, and we are not guilty. What else can King Jin do to us?
If you really dare to deal with us, the worst we can do is go to Beijing under the imperial edict.
The brave ones will be starved to death, and the timid ones will be starved to death.
Just make money!"
Wang An said.
Then he turned to Yang Feng and put on a flattering smile.
I have to say that he is a qualified businessman.
With such a good thing, who will care about the future, and the King of Jin will be a thorn in the side of money.
This group of businessmen immediately took action. As for the rest, Yang Feng really didn't need to worry about it, because as long as the news spread, the local snakes in various villages would join the ranks of the contractors. This kind of thing is not such a complicated operation. This kind of thing in Shanxi
Everyone knows about places with a strong business atmosphere.
As for worrying about anything...
As long as you make money, who cares about anything else?
King of Jin?
He is a blood sucker in Shanxi. Shanxi's fiscal revenue must first pay him a salary. Yang Feng is a boy who distributes money, and Ambassador Yang gives money to the people of Shanxi. Who do the people of Shanxi support? What's more, the title does not come to the people.
He is the King of Jin, but his power is limited to managing his guards, and he has no power to control the people. On the contrary, if he disturbs the people, the people can directly sue him.
Even local officials would impeach him.
So as long as it's legal, you don't have to worry about him at all.
If you are really in a hurry, then go to Beijing with the imperial edict!
And Yang Feng's price is enough to make these people ignore other things...
Two hundred texts.
It's been consistent for five days.
The current price of grain in Shanxi is indeed not comparable to that in the south, but it is still not as high as one stone of millet.
It's enough to make the villagers in their spare time go crazy.
However, Yang Feng still had to go through the procedure. He had to go and formally request to see the King of Jin, so he immediately drove the carriage to the Chengen Gate in front.
There are two city gates in the south of Taiyuan. One, Yingze Gate, leads to the civilian area, while Cheng'en Gate leads directly to the main entrance of Prince Jin's Mansion. It is not far after entering, so Yang Feng went straight to Cheng'en Gate. But before he reached the city gate, he encountered
The cavalry on alert had no power to intercept him and could only quickly warn the city. Then all the originally open city gates of Taiyuan were closed as quickly as possible...
