"After all, Wu Gongling is your brother-in-law, right? Tsk tsk, the emperor's brother-in-law!"
The news came that Han and Song Zhengfeng had stopped. When they talked about Wu Gongling, Guan Fangyi teased and teased her. Seeing Niu Youdao's weird face, she couldn't help laughing.
Niu Youdao couldn't help but smile, shook his head, and muttered: "The traitor in troubled times!"
Knowing that he was talking about Wu Gongling, Guan Fangyi sneered disdainfully: "He is just a shameless villain with better luck. If the three major sects of the Song Dynasty were not forced to have no choice, the throne of the Song Dynasty would not have fallen to him."
"Luck? Do you think it's the luck of picking up money on the road? In the changing current situation, luck is not something that everyone can easily grasp!" Niu Youdao shook his head slightly again and said slowly: "This person is still somewhat capable..." He was silent for a while.
After a while, he said, "I want to find an opportunity to meet this person! I haven't contacted my sworn sister for a long time, so it's time to contact her. Please help me edit a letter and say hello."
"Sister Queen...Pfft!" Guan Fangyi laughed so hard that her branches trembled with laughter. The elder of the Tiannv Sect became the queen, plus her relationship with Niu Youdao, it's funny to think about it...
In the palace of the Song Dynasty, among the pavilions and pavilions, Hui Qingping, who was gorgeously dressed and wearing a phoenix crown, was leaning on the railing, holding a letter in his hand and looking at it. Niu Youdao's letter arrived.
"Master, His Majesty is back." A disciple dressed as a palace maid warned. They had all betrayed the Celestial Sect, and it was no longer appropriate to wear the Celestial Sect's clothes.
Hui Qingping, who was holding the letter, turned around slightly and looked at Wu Gongling striding in the distance. Seeing his appearance, she couldn't help but frown.
Wu Gongling really didn't look like an emperor. He looked like a rough man. He didn't wear imperial robes, but a battle armor. He was as tanned as black coal.
The whole person has also lost a lot of weight. As a result of the weight loss, his eyes have become a lot bigger and brighter.
The war has just stopped, and the entire Song Dynasty has been completely destroyed. The most important thing now is to appease the refugees and quickly resume farming. They must catch up with the season and replant the next crop of grain as soon as possible. He has been busy with this now, and his job is to lead the
People and horses were running around checking and cursing!
He didn't know much about other things, but there was one thing he paid close attention to: food, food, food!
He was currently busy replanting the land and purchasing grain from Weiguo.
Unlike his predecessor, Mu Zhuozhen, who was hiding in the palace, this emperor rarely stayed in the palace and was always running around outside.
Prime Minister Zi Pingxiu was a little too old to keep up with him, "Your Majesty, you are the emperor, how can you keep running outside? This is against the rules."
Wu Gongling: "Put the rules aside for now. Let me settle the farming matter, and then talk to me about the rules. Thirty miles south of the city, there are thousands of miles of fertile fields. The land is still barren. Why are there no signs of replanting?"
Zi Pingxiu: "Your Majesty, the people are displaced, and it is difficult to find the manpower for farming for a while."
Wu Gongling turned around and shouted to his generals: "Pass my military order to mobilize 100,000 men and horses from the capital to farm the land for me. After seven days, if the land south of the city is still uncultivated, ask the general to come and see me."
"Yes!" the general ordered.
Wu Gongling: "Also, send an order to the troops stationed in various places not to be idle, but to farm the land for me. Tell them that when the time comes to reward them for their merits, the quality of the land will be worth half of the credit."
"Yes!" The general took the order again.
Wu Gongling turned around and said to Zi Pingxiu: "Prime Minister, in the name of the imperial court, I will announce to the world that whoever plants the wasteland within the specified time will own the land."
Zi Pingxiu was not a general under him, and would not do what was ordered. He immediately advised: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid there will be trouble if we do this. Some wastelands have not yet been identified as having owners. Others have rashly
If you go and plant it, it will cause trouble."
Wu Gongling walked into the pavilion and sat down, waving people to serve tea, "I remember Shao Pingbo from Beizhou did such a thing before. He could do it, why can't I do it? I don't care whether those wastelands have owners or not.
That sentence, whoever plants the wasteland within the designated time, the land will belong to whoever, that's it! Whoever dares to cause trouble, ask the sword in my general's hand if he agrees!"
He squinted coldly and said: "During the war, the Song Dynasty has suffered huge losses in manpower. Human beings are the foundation of the Song Dynasty! Prime Minister, this year's chaos has been determined, and I won't say anything. If there is another large-scale starvation to death next year,
The situation has made people in the Song Kingdom panic. I think you, the Prime Minister, have gone too far. Even if the three major sects intercede with you, I will try my best to kill you. It's up to you!"
Is this what an emperor said? Zi Pingxiu looked twitching and cupped his hands and said: "Yes!"
Wu Gongling said again: "We need to hurry up when negotiating with the Wei State to purchase grain. Our Song State's grain will not last long, and it will take a lot of time to transport the grain. Within half a month, the matter of grain purchase will be over."
, I want to see the results. Don't talk to me about the difficulties. You can think of the solution yourself. If the ministers of the court can't even solve this problem, what else do I need them to do? If they can't solve the problem, let me farm the land. Don't occupy it.
No shit in the latrine!"
"Yes!" Zi Pingxiu reluctantly agreed. The man in front of him didn't follow the rules at all. He hadn't gone to court in the past few days. He left the city at dawn and didn't even return to the palace for several days. Except for food, he didn't have anything else.
No matter what, leave it to the court officials to deal with.
After Zi Pingxiu left, Hui Qingping came over, sat aside, and snorted: "Mud can't hold up a wall, and you don't look like an emperor at all. Is there an emperor like you who doesn't go to court?"
Wu Gongling asked back: "What does it mean to be like an emperor? The emperor has countless concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards. Do I have the appearance of an emperor? Are you willing?"
Hui Qingping curled her lips, changed the subject, and reminded: "What the Prime Minister just said is right. Those wastelands are not all ownerless lands. To put it bluntly, I'm afraid many wastelands are those.
The ministers of the court, who don’t know that they are the biggest landowners in the world, it’s strange that the courtiers have no objection if you do this.”
Wu Gongling: "Opinions? I am not Mu Zhuozhen, Mu Zhuozhen has been killed by their opinions! I have a knife on their necks, their opinions are not important."
Hui Qingping: "Whoever cultivates the land belongs to whom? Those refugees can't even get grain, and in the end it's the big households that are cheaper. In the future, a large number of people in the Song Dynasty will have no cultivated land. I wonder what you will do."
"We'll talk about the future later. If we don't allow it to be beneficial, how can we work hard? Stabilize the situation first, and when the situation is stabilized, it won't be too late to deal with them." Wu Gongling waved his hands and stopped talking nonsense to this woman. He stared at it.
The letter in her hand asked: "Whose letter is it from, the Heavenly Lady Sect?"
Hui Qingping threw the letter on the table and said, "Niu Youdao."
"Niu Youdao? That sworn brother of yours? Why did he write to you?" Wu Gongling was surprised. He immediately reached for the letter and looked at it with his big, thin eyes. He saw that there was something written in the letter recalling the past.
Friendship things, and then some nice words of congratulations, saying that I could meet Hui Qingping when I had time to reminisce about old friendships.
Hui Qingping sneered: "What do you mean by sworn brothers? I was just used by him at first. I needed my eldest sister, but I didn't need it. No matter how much I begged him, it was useless. Now I guess it's because I have gained the upper hand. What kind of old relationship has come out? He is a complete villain, don’t care what he does."
Wu Gongling looked solemn and said in deep thought: "Back then, Cangzhou was controlled by Zijindong. Everyone in Cangzhou looked at Zijindong's face. Now he seems to be the elder of Zijindong."
Hui Qingping often saw his boss being rude and arrogant, but rarely saw him with such a solemn look on his face, "Why do you feel that you are a little afraid of him? You are not in Yan State or Cangzhou now, what are you afraid of him doing?"
Wu Gongling took the letter and considered it and shook his head: "According to my understanding, this person is very extraordinary. He came out of the mountain at a young age and overcame obstacles all the way. He has been able to support the Shang Dynasty all the way to this day, and has the power of the Shang clan firmly in his hands. Lian Meng Shan Ming also bowed his head and obeyed his orders, this man is very dangerous!"
Hui Qingping: "Why, are you giving in? You went from being a rebel all the way to being the emperor of the Song Dynasty, and you still think you can't be as good as him?"
Wu Gongling waved his hand, "It's different. He almost started from scratch, and it was not easy to rise from all kinds of constraints. But I led hundreds of thousands of people to rebel. I had already gained momentum, and I also used them to defeat the Song Dynasty. , and then they had no time to take care of Song State, which is why I am where I am today!"
Hui Qingping: "If you enhance the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige, why should you belittle yourself?"
Wu Gongling put down the letter in his hand, "It's not to belittle oneself, but this person really makes me feel a little dangerous. So many people can't control him and let him break through many obstacles and rise. This already explains the problem. When you persuaded him to Nanzhou I only raised troops to rebel, but I was tricked by him and almost got killed by him. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and escaped the disaster... I have been a soldier for half my life, so I am still a little alert to danger."
"He is now the elder of Zijin Cave. He has the most elite troops of Yan State in his hands. His influence on Yan State's military is very important. Even the three major factions of Yan State look at his face and dare not act rashly. Zhao Guo How he died has something to do with this guy. Not long ago, I just received news that he seemed to be working with the three major parties of Yan State again, bloodbathed Beizhou, and completely controlled Beizhou. This person is now in a high and powerful position, and our Song State is on the border of the Yan State, so we have to guard against him!"
Hui Qingping pointed to the letter, "Then what do you mean?"
Wu Gongling: "This kind of person is very dangerous. If you are targeted, you must be careful. There is no need to offend, but you must exercise appropriate control. Don't be easily entangled by him. If he suddenly shows his kindness to you, you don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd." , you should date him first and see what he wants to do."
…
Amidst the sea of clouds and waves, under the ancient pine trees on the top of the mountain, Yu Wenyan stood with his hands behind his back, and the Kunlin tree came to salute.
"Here we come." Yu Wenyan turned around, looked at him with a smile, and sighed in his heart. He actually practiced the "Sky Fire Wuji Technique" that no one has mastered since the third generation of the Sky Fire Sect. Unfortunately, he is not his direct disciple.
But then again, if he is his direct disciple, I am afraid that he will not have the opportunity to practice the supreme secret technique. If he is not at the level of an elder, he will not have the opportunity to touch the secret technique. With his master as the head master, he can retreat for ten It is unlikely that he will take risks to practice secret arts.
In this regard, he can only sigh, time is fate!
Kunlinshu said respectfully: "I wonder if the master has summoned me, what are your orders?"
"Some time ago, Piaomiao Pavilion summoned the heads of various factions..." Yu Wenyan told the story about the Holy Realm without any delay.
