The canal construction site is all flat land, suitable for cavalry to run. The Imperial Guards abandoned their helmets and armor and fled in all directions, but how could two legs outrun four legs? Many Imperial Guards were caught up from behind by the Han King's guards. The skilled knights
He didn't even need to swing the knife, he tilted his body, raised the scimitar straight, and used his speed to directly cut off the fleeing enemy's head.
Some people thought it was troublesome to use a sword, so they took out their riding bows and shot an arrow. The arrows were all empty. The Imperial Guards fell down in response. The five hundred light cavalry were like five hundred tigers, driving the three thousand Imperial Guards across the mountains and plains. Before the cavalry,
Under the intense pursuit, interception and threat of force, the frightened Imperial Guards knelt down and surrendered one after another.
The knights drove the captives back like a flock of sheep. At this time, Yuan Feng was comforting the people who had escaped. Elders weeping with joy surrounded the King of Han, shouting "Long Live the Mountain". The scene was warm and touching.
The prisoners were escorted. According to the Han army's policy, those who were willing to surrender were incorporated into the army. Those who were unwilling to surrender?
Once they reach Xuzhou, they have no way out.\
The Han army was already very familiar with collecting prisoners, and they immediately began to collect them in an orderly manner. The general who led the team walked out of the prisoners, knelt down with a plop, and said that the King of Han was a thousand years old, and he was willing to surrender. His abacus was actually good, and the Han Dynasty
The army treated prisoners preferentially, and officers who were willing to surrender were usually admitted with the same rank. As long as he changed his identity, he could become an officer of the Han army, and he would still be superior to these mud-legged commoners.
The people recognized him as the culprit who massacred the common people. For a time, the crowd was excited and surged forward. The general turned pale with fright, kowtowed like garlic and said: "Grandpa, King of Han, I have been serving in the Forbidden Army for many years, and I have some problems."
If you leave a small life behind because of your connections, I am willing to tie a knot of grass and a ring to repay you!"
Yuan Feng frowned and was about to speak when Liu Ying'er behind him quietly pulled down his sleeve. Yuan Feng turned around and saw Liu Ying'er extending his palm to make a melon-cutting gesture. He understood in his heart and said loudly:
"The killing of innocent people is an unforgivable crime. Come on, drag me down and behead me!"
The general was so frightened that he cried loudly: "Grandpa, King of Han, please spare your life. The Han army will never surrender!"
Yuan Feng waved his hand, and two soldiers had already come forward, dragging the man to the hill next to him like a dead dog. In full view of everyone, he raised his knife and dropped it, picking up a good man's head with his eight-foot-long sword.
Show it to the people below.
Suddenly there were thunderous cheers and shouts of long live resounded through the sky.\
There were still tens of thousands of civilians at the river construction site, and the large, dark area was filled with excited people. Yuan Feng was infected and wanted to go up to the mountain to say a few words. Liu Ying'er followed him closely and asked nervously: "Yuan Feng
Feng, what do you want to talk about? Do you want to? *She Caijun?br/>
Yuan Feng stopped suddenly, turned around, looked into Liu Ying'er's eyes and asked, "How do you know?"
Liu Ying'er pursed her lips and smiled proudly, and said: "It's too easy to guess this, but I advise you not to send these people away yet. When people's hearts are ready, it's better to continue digging the canal."
Yuan Feng said: "The tyranny of Emperor Zhou made the people miserable. The canal is one of the tyranny. I continue to build the canal. How am I different from the Emperor of Zhou?"
Liu Ying'er said seriously: "The fault is not the matter of digging the canal, but the people who implemented it. Building the north-south canal is a major event that benefits the country and the people. No matter who is in charge of the country, it must be built. The common people built the canal for the imperial court.
Those who work are corvees, who do not receive wages, and their rations are deducted by corrupt officials, so the public resentment boils. We can abolish corvees, pay them to work, and provide food and drink, and then the people will not complain.
.\”
Yuan Fengdao: "That makes sense. I have considered it before. But now is the wrong time. Fighting for the world is the time to spend money. The cost of the North-South Canal is huge, and it is unaffordable even in normal times, let alone now."
Liu Ying'er smiled and said: "It's not like I'm asking you to build it now. We just need to spend some money to support a hundred workers and keep the project going. When the farmers are idle, the people will be idle, so we just need to give them a little bit.
Money will naturally come to work."
Yuan Feng suddenly realized, and Hermione secretly marveled that Liu Ying'er was really a talented woman.
The King of Han climbed up Tushan Mountain and announced that the river work would continue. The people were in an uproar. However, Yuan Feng changed his subject and announced that corvee labor would be abolished. River work would only be carried out during the slack season, and food and wages would be controlled. The disappointed people's mood rose from the bottom of the valley.
When we reached the peak, it was a great thing to do some work during the off-season to earn extra money and take care of food and shelter. No one needed to guide us, and the people knelt down like a tide, kowtowed and saluted, and shouted long live the mountain.
…
The Han army stationed in Xuzhou and occupied this thoroughfare of five provinces. The Zhou Dynasty was cut into two sections. The connection between Yanzhao and Jiangnan was basically interrupted. Yuanfeng's sphere of influence was greatly expanded. Both the population and the population of the area under its jurisdiction were
The grain and mineral resources are enough to compete with Jiangnan.
The capital is still a prosperous and prosperous scene. It seems that war is still far away for them. The most popular topic in the capital now is the power struggle between Academicians Yang and Academicians Meng.\
In accordance with the emperor's consistent approach to balance, the responsibility of staying behind was given to Yang Feng and Meng Zhiqiu at the same time. Hu Weiyong, who was older than them and had a higher official position, was in a state of semi-retirement.
Both Yang Feng and Meng Zhiqiu were born in the imperial examination and were favored by the emperor. They were in high positions at a young age and were extremely powerful. They were both single and unmarried men. They were very popular in the social circles of the capital and had many fans, including ladies and ladies.
Everyone flocked to them like ducks, and men also bowed to their power. It is said that the two of them should cherish each other and feel like brothers, but the fact is that the two of them are completely different.
In the past, when the emperor was here, the two of them seemed to be getting along fine for the sake of face. But after the emperor personally went on the expedition, they officially started to quarrel with each other, determined to have you without me, and me without you.\
Meng Yeluosheng is handsome and handsome, with a tall and tall figure, and a jade tree facing the wind. He is very generous in dealing with others. He has a very high status in the hearts of all the ladies in the capital. However, because of his special status and unknown origin, he has worked in Jinyiwei and Neifactory, so
Many officials were very afraid of him and secretly called him a smiling tiger, a ghost who sees sorrow. Some people also spread rumors that his title of No. 1 Scholar was obtained through cheating.
Yang Feng was completely different. He came from a poor student background and had nothing to do with the Jinyiwei inner factory. Although in the eyes of outsiders, the emperor treated Yang Feng and Meng Yeluo equally, those who had spent their entire lives in officialdom could.
It can be seen from the clues that the emperor's favorite is actually Yang Feng, and he almost became the prince's consort. Is that a joke?\
As for Meng Yeluo, he only climbed so fast and high with the help of Eunuch Cao. The emperor was willing to promote him probably just to be a sharpening stone for Yang Feng, just like when he made the prince a sharpening stone for his other sons.
Like stone.
After careful analysis, it is believed that Meng Yeluo's official career has come to an end. Unless Cao Eunuch dies and Meng Yeluo himself is willing to enter the palace to take over Lao Cao's position, it is possible to compete with Yang Feng. In fact, that possibility is
Doesn't exist.
After a period of training, Yang Feng is no longer the high-spirited and hateful young scholar he used to be. He has honed his skills in a high position and has a good way of dealing with people. He knows who should be wined over and who should be attacked. He has a very strong heart.
He is measured and respects the unspoken rules prevailing in the officialdom. He does not damage people's financial resources or embarrass people. Sometimes he even helps to prevent the petty officials under him from running into trouble.
Arrested by the internal factory.
Who wouldn't like such a Shangguan? Therefore, Yang Feng's connections in the officialdom are slightly better than Meng Yeluo's, but it is not that easy to bring down Meng Yeluo, who was born in an internal factory. The two of them fought openly and secretly, and I don't know how many times they fought.
At this time, even the cabinet was divided into two factions, ignoring each other. The official documents issued by the cabinet often contained two completely opposite contents, which made the officials below miserable.
At noon that day, two bachelors accidentally bumped into each other. The cars and guards collided with each other, crowding the originally narrow road. They refused to give way to each other. The guards on both sides pushed and yelled, and then moved away.
The knife struck someone, but the two bachelors sat in the sedan chair and pretended not to hear. At this time, no one could relax, otherwise their face would be on the ground, and the next day it would definitely be known as the after-dinner pastime of the people in the capital:
Yesterday, so-and-so didn’t fight so-and-so.\
On both sides of the road, in the crowd of common people, a low-level Jin Yiwei was also watching the fun with his arms folded. Behind him was a short-handed man with a wretched face. He was holding an embroidered spring knife and nodded and bowed. He was obviously a helper who was not worthy of being on the stage.
This Jinyiwei is Mu Linfeng, the deputy head of the Flying Eagle Hall who used to hang out in Taihu Water Village. Since the last time he reported Zhuo Ligetu, his situation has become worse and worse, and he was almost fired by the Jinyiwei. Fortunately, Wenhai misses him.
Thanks to his achievements, he was only downgraded to the lowest level of street patrol guards.
Even the lowest-ranking Jin Yiwei has some people who fawn over him. The follower behind him is this kind of person. He follows him like a follower, eats and drinks, shouts and drinks, and is very majestic. I heard that this guy was also a rich man in Chang'an back then.
, Mu Linfeng is satisfied with having such a follower.
The confrontation on the street was still escalating. Low-level officials like Mu Linfeng had no chance to join in the fun and could only watch the excitement from a distance. When he saw the famous Bachelor Yang Feng coming out of the sedan first, Mu Linfeng laughed and said
: "Master Yang still can't hold on any longer."
The helper behind him followed up and said: "Master Yang is very clever. His move is to retreat in order to advance. It is very clever. If University Scholar Meng does not get off the sedan chair, he will look inferior."
Mu Linfeng patted Bang Xian on the head and scolded with a smile: "After all, he is the third young master of Fenyang Hou family. You know the official business very well. It would be a pity not to be an official."
This helper was none other than Lu Shubao, the third young master of the Fenyang Hou Mansion who once ran rampant in Chang'an.
Lu Shubao said with a smile: "Brother Feng, thank you very much. Back then we..." Before he could finish his words, he froze and stared straight into the distance.
Mu Linfeng followed Lu Shubao's gaze and saw that Academician Meng Yeluo had indeed come out of the sedan chair and was facing Yang Feng with a big smile.
"What's wrong?" Mu Linfeng pushed Lu Shubao.
"This... this person... I know this person." Lu Shubao stuttered.
