The ideal is very full, but the reality is very skinny.
Yan'an did not expect that the biggest resistance he encountered was not from Zheng Qiao, but from the courtiers around him who were obstructing him in various ways.
The reasons given are even more amusing——
Those who have merit will be rewarded!
He also said that the people did not think about farming and were lazy and slack, resulting in a sharp decline in harvests and insufficient payment of field taxes. It was their own fault that they had no food to survive the winter. When it comes to the real calculation, they have not made any merit and are still guilty! The king is merciful and does not care about them. , Yan'an actually wants to give these lazy things food for the winter? What do the hard-working and self-sufficient people think?
"If you have merit but don't reward it, you won't be kind; if you make mistakes but don't punish them, you won't be afraid of evil!" After hearing Yan'an's suggestion, some courtiers came out. He carefully looked at Zheng Qiao's face from the corner of his eye and saw that Zheng Qiao was not displeased. Continuing to speak plausibly, "Those lazy untouchables have no merits and demerits. What you do will only encourage their evil deeds! In the coming spring plowing, the diligent people will also neglect their farming work!"
He paused: "This is the source of endless trouble!"
Yan'an almost turned pale with anger.
Can this kind of fallacy be explained?
What is the difference between "Why not eat ground meat"?
Go farming when you're hungry?
If there is no food in hand, the people are slacking off in farming?
It would give them fertile land to cultivate!
Looking at the sanctimonious faces in front of him, Yanan felt a cramp in his stomach and almost felt like vomiting.
If he hadn't cultivated his moral character and set a good example for Zheng Qiao, he would have cut this man's tongue with his sword right now!
This tongue can't speak human words, so give it up!
Yan Anxin was like a mirror, and he was sure that there was something wrong with the accounts of the grain depot. Otherwise, why would this group of people have a tacit agreement to stop him?
If the people are pushed to a dead end, can they still survive?
Well, this——
The courtiers each had their own ideas.
Some people know, but knowing doesn't mean they care.
The so-called common people are just a group of ants digging in the mud. No matter how noisy they are, they cannot threaten us.
But when the accounting problem was revealed, Zheng Qiao could prevent them from seeing the sun tomorrow! Even his toes knew what to do! Those untouchables would die, because their lives are worthless anyway.
Yanan's expression turned cold.
The murderous brows and eyes are somewhat similar to Zheng Qiao's.
Yan Xingning insisted on his opinion.
The courtiers who had ulterior motives came out and expressed their opinions. They criticized or ridiculed Yan'an, and they all made their faces red and thick-necked. Zheng Qiao sat at the top with a lazy and comfortable expression, as if he had watched a wonderful show but had seen too much. Another boring monkey show.
How could he not know that the court officials were evil?
I knew it, but I condoned it.
Zheng Qiao was able to defeat the sons of the old leader of the Geng Kingdom and ascend to the throne today. In addition to joining forces with the Queen Mother, he also used this method to recruit talents and benefit his subordinates. These people are better than him. The leech, which is countless times greedier, has to suck enough blood before it will obediently work for him and sacrifice its life for him.
Zheng Qiao had carefully looked at various reform plans in Yan'an. They were all beneficial to the country and the people, but they were only detrimental to them.
It is not only unfavorable but also harmful, damaging their foundation and taking advantage of their pockets. Who doesn’t hate him?
Yan'an also wanted to clear up the trend, get rid of these court officials, and advise Zheng Qiao to stay away from treacherous and sycophantic people, and to be more close to loyal and good people.
Looking at Yan'an who was almost isolated, Zheng Qiao sneered in his heart - his senior brother was taught by his mentor to be too naive and simple, and he did not know the greed and sinisterness of people. He did not look at character or talent when hiring people, he only looked at the person who could do it for him Zheng Qiao
What to do.
Continuing on and irritating these courtiers, Zheng Qiao was not surprised that one day he would receive bad news about this senior brother, such as drowning in a well in the middle of the night, falling into the water after losing his footing, and being accidentally killed by a burglar... In short, he died in an "accident"
"!
When Zheng Qiao saw that the quarrel was about to begin, he interrupted and turned the topic to the alliance army that had repelled the rebels in Sibao County. When the national seal was born, he had been sending people to pay attention to the battle situation there. To be honest, King Sheng's troops were still a bit weak.
Beyond his expectations.
Especially the fierce general Gong Xiqiu.
Even Zheng Qiao was a little afraid, but it was just fear. As long as the King of Pig did not get the national seal, he had nothing to fear.
so--
Whose hands did the national seal that suddenly appeared fall into?
Where was it hidden?
To feel at ease, he decided to meet the so-called alliance army. If any of these people could threaten him, he would kill them! The leader was Wu Xian, followed by Gu Ren.
After that, Zheng Qiao had no intention of paying attention.
After scanning around, no suspicious smells were found on them. Zheng Qiao felt a little disappointed, but still cheered up.
Reward according to military merit.
Wu Xian took the first place, Gu Ren came second, and the rest followed suit. Although he did not have the "crack the earth to be crowned king" that everyone expected, he was promoted to various positions and received generous rewards, so it was not in vain. Some people are wondering, so
Easy to talk to, is this still Zheng Qiao?
At this time, Gu Ren came forward to recommend Shen Tang as the governor of Heyin County - it was said to be a county, but because there were many small countries in the northwest continent, each country was divided up, and the overall area was not large.
It's just that the names are carefully divided, and the title sounds very bluffing.
Ha Yin is really a small place.
In addition to Gu Ren, several other people also came forward to recommend. Wu Xian was the only one who did not move. Not only did he not move, but his eyes widened with a shocked face as if someone had stabbed him in the back. His heart was full of "kindness" towards Gu Ren.
"Greetings", I have no idea what he is going to do!
He Yin "lent" it to Shen Tang for free.
Gu Ren recommended Shen Tang to be the governor of Heyin County?
Then borrow your own shit!
But Zheng Qiao was right above him, so he could only hold back his greetings, which made his face look ugly.
Zheng Qiao frowned slightly: "Shen Tang? This person didn't come?"
Regarding Shen Tang, the spies sent back news early in the morning.
It is said that this person can fight hundreds of rounds with Gongxi, a fifteenth-level junior high school student. He is also a bad guy. He is extremely poor and has taken in more than 1,800 refugees. He also borrowed 1,000 people from Wu Xian.
, slowly went to Heyin.
Zheng Qiao received the news and thought the information was wrong.
How did Shen Tang get back and forth with the fifteenth-level junior high school? Later, I learned that Gong Xiqiu and Shen Tang had a personal relationship, and they communicated frequently on the battlefield. I'm afraid it was a fake match. In addition, Gong Xiqiu's surname , and it is indeed possible to release the pig king in the puddle.
Zheng Qiao understood.
Shen Tang is capable, but not as scary as the outside world spreads. In addition, he is a good old man with bad intentions, and with more than 1,800 old, weak, women and children holding him back, Zheng Qiao does not have much wariness. However - there is still a question that should be asked. clear.
Gu Ren's answer was pretty much what he thought - the reason why Shen Tang didn't come was simply because it was difficult to move with more than 1,800 people. These people couldn't keep up with the rapid march of the army, and they wanted to catch up with the next spring plowing. Thinking After much deliberation, I went to Heyin first.
Zheng Qiao glanced at Wu Xian's ugly face.
Yes!
Although the Alliance Army is a mob in his eyes, the ants gather together too much, and their bites will hurt. It is better to let them have discord and alienate each other. Just looking at Wu Xian's out-of-control expression, he also knows that he should do this. have no idea.
hehe--
Zheng Qiao praised him a few times and ordered a banquet to be held.
Yan'an was particularly concerned about Shen Tang's absence.
"This person may be in serious trouble."
Zheng Qiao sneered: "A big problem? Because you didn't come?"
Yan'an frowned and said: "If there are other circumstances, it doesn't matter whether you come or not, but if there is a national seal in Xiaocheng and it disappears inexplicably, and if you don't come for another reason, it would be suspicious. This son has taken in more than 1,800 old, weak, women and children. For mercy, or for something else?"
Or maybe they are using these refugees as an excuse.
A hint of sarcasm appeared on Zheng Qiao's handsome and feminine face: "Senior brother, what do you mean, this twelve-year-old boy has obtained the national seal?"
Yan'an said: "It's not impossible."
Zheng Qiao smiled.
He laughed at Yanan for not understanding the national seal.
The banquet was peaceful, but Zheng Qiao was worried about being conceited.
No matter what, Shen Tang's status has been decided.
Except for the alliance leader Wu Xian, no one was injured!
Bang bang bang bang, Wu Xian slapped the desk table loudly, giving up years of self-cultivation, roaring and spitting fire: "Gu Ziyi is really hateful! Why did he cut off mine when he returned his favor?"
Qin Li was not surprised when he heard the news, and even felt that it should be like this - there was an "evil plot" under Shen Tang's tent, Qi Yuanliang, backstabbing, etc., this guy was the best at it!
He said: "It may not be Gu Ziyi who is causing trouble."
Wu Xian said angrily: "Who else could it be if he wasn't him?"
Qin Li: "Pray for Yuanliang."
It must be Qi Yuanliang’s evil idea!
While talking about "renting" Heyin, he deceived people from Wu Xian and colluded with Gu Ren to recommend Shen Tang as the governor of Heyin County. When Wu Xian asked again, Shen Tang could make a recommendation. 256, I will never admit it!
Wu Xian could only suffer the loss of being dumb.
Because Gu Ren recommended it, Shen Tang "didn't know", so don't expect Shen Tang to move out when the "lease period" is up.
Wu Xian smacked it carefully, waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No, no, no, this must be a good thing Gu Ren did!"
He believes in Mr. Shen’s character!
Qin Li: "..."
My Lord doesn’t know how to pray for Yuanliang!
A few days later, there was a bandit camp in Heyin territory.
With a wave of the sword light, the head was rushed up by the blood flow, and then rolled to the ground. The deceased's eyes were wide open, and he died with no eyes open. The young man backhand sent the blood-stained sword into the chests of several others, and followed the corpses. There was silence in the village.
"Who else is dissatisfied?"
"Kill this little bitch to avenge the boss!"
A strong man with a scarred face came up to kill him with a knife.
Before he even got close, the young man cut off his arms with two swords.
The strong man's body fell forward according to the inertia, and hit the young man's sword accurately. The sword cut iron like mud, and it cut the strong man's neck smoothly without any stagnation. The young man stepped on the warm feet under his feet. Xue sneered: "Is there anyone still dissatisfied?"
A group of bandits saw two groups fighting.
Some even swallowed nervously and loudly.
From the mountainside to the bandit village, there were corpses covered with blood all the way. This handsome young man was killed all the way up. A group of brothers rushed towards him, and without even looking at him, their heads fell to the ground. They fought all the way to the main hall of the bandit village. Behead the bandit's head.
"I allow you to say 'no' to me now, and I will give you a happy death. If you submit to me and say 'no' again, the consequences will be worse than death!" The young man raised his chin slightly. Although he was not tall, his eyes were bright. With a condescending look.
"Oh? There's no one left? That's good!"
At this time, among the bandits and robbers, there was a man named Zhang who suddenly raised his arms and shouted: "Master!"
"The boss!"
"The boss!"
The others were stunned and hesitated for a few breaths.
He also raised his arms and shouted "big boss"!
The sound went from a rustling sound at the beginning to a continuous sound at the end, which was deafening and resounded throughout the entire bandit village.
