Chapter 231: 230 Rules And Shakes
Chapter 231 Rules and Shaking
Huyang, Yueshan Lake, Longwang Village.
It has been some time since the army triumphed, and all the trivialities have been properly arranged. Now the Huyang family is the dominant one, and it is finally time for the official seat.
But I saw warships scattered all over the lake, lined up in arrays, facing the direction of the stockade, and big flags were fluttering and dancing in the wind.
dong dong dong—
Drums rang out to gather the crowd, the sound was like thunder, and soon a sea of people gathered by the river beach, surrounding a high wooden platform on the shore.
On the high platform, there are incense burners, candles, and dozens of bowls of wine.
When the commotion subsided, Zhou Jing and a group of leaders stepped up the steps, went to the high platform, and stood in front of the incense table.
Zhou Jing looked around, taking a panoramic view of the faces, and then using his inner strength, he spoke aloud, and the sound came out like a loudspeaker far away:
“I am waiting for Juyi Huyang, and I don’t want to rot with the grass and trees, just to make a career. Today, my brothers and I swear to the Tianmeng that from now on, we should work together, share weal and woe, and support each other in life and death… This world is drowsy, full of corrupt officials, landlords and gentry, I will act for the heaven, and the heaven and earth will learn from it!”
“I am willing to lead the horse and whip for the owner of the village!”
The crowd responded with a loud bang, each picked up incense sticks, placed a bow before their foreheads, then burned yellow paper, made blood as an alliance, drank strong wine, threw bowls and shouted.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Jing began to read aloud the seats and positions of the people, and discussed the merits and deeds.
Guo Haishen is a well-deserved second leader, the third leader Duan Yunfeng, the fourth leader Du Ying, the fifth leader Hong Dingxian, the sixth leader Fang Zhen and so on.
Counting down one set, there are now 96 chiefs in the stockade, most of whom were later employed, and some of them are quite useful.
After arranging the seats, Zhou Jing’s eyes were sharp as he looked around the crowd and said solemnly:
“All the brothers know my deeds. I used to travel between the villages and counties, seeking out evildoers and exorcising evil, and doing justice for the heavens. Now I have a great foundation, occupying Huyang, and serving as a shelter for the village.
After today, there will be a court for redress of grievances. If the poor people in the Huyang realm have grievances, they can report grievances. No one should neglect them. If they prove correct, I will call the shots for them. Injustice, revenge!
At the same time, a martial arts hall was set up to teach martial arts to the people every day. No matter the poor or the lowly, as long as they wanted to learn martial arts as their foundation, they would not refuse. ”
“The Zhaizhu is arrogant!”
The voice of fell, and many children shouted.
Zhou Jing looked at the excited crowd and nodded secretly.
Now it is necessary to accumulate grain and build high walls, and it is not time to rise up, so he did not shout the slogan of subverting the imperial court, nor did he immediately set up new laws independent of the imperial court.
is just beating the side drums in such a way as to avenge the people’s grievances, in order to have a lasting impact on the people.
‘It doesn’t directly touch the bottom line of the court, it is still the category of bandits, they will calculate the cost of suppressing bandits, and the local officers and soldiers have been maimed by me, not a threat, I can develop in Huyang for some years…’
Zhou Jing thought to himself.
The ceremony was completed quickly. Witnessed by many minions, the group officially finished the seating arrangement and set rules, and then they held a banquet in the stockade for three days in a row.
…
The news of spread everywhere, not only in the Huyang area, but soon all over the country knew about the rules of Longwangzhai to avenge the people and spread martial arts to the people, which caused a lot of discussion.
Some people praised this as a good deed for the people and for the heaven, and some people scolded it as an evil deed that is self-contained and lawless.
The people in the Huyang realm were full of joy and cheer, while the lords and dignitaries here were all in a daze, shouting for sins, and being frightened and frightened.
This Chen Feng has picked up his old business again!
Go be your king of the mountain, can’t you!
We are not in your way, we can give you money and food, why do you have to live with us? !
According to this **** rule, wouldn’t it mean that any beggar whose life is like a waste will seek justice, and someone will come to take their life? What kind of reasoning is this!
Huyang can’t stay anymore!
For a while, panic filled the landlords and gentry, and they were all so frightened that they sold their properties to other sellers, sought another way out, and fled to other realms.
In the past, when Chen Feng’s gang committed crimes, they would go out to avoid the limelight, but now Chen Feng will be entrenched in Huyang for a long time. In their eyes, this land has become a dragon pool and a tiger’s den, and they have no plans to come back at all.
They didn’t expect the government to suppress the bandits at all. The local officers and soldiers in Huyang were beaten and disabled, and Chen Feng could not be cured at all.
On the other side, the prefectures in Huyang were equally angry, but there was nothing they could do about Chen Feng.
The imperial court did not send a large army to suppress bandits, and the officials of the states were incompetent and furious, but they were frightened every day. Every night when they slept with their concubines, they were afraid that someone would sneak in and cut their heads, making the bed no fun.
And some well-connected officials in Huyang are working secretly, trying to get transferred to other regions to become officials.
With such a **** of plague on his side, it would be a life-threatening stay to stay here!
…
The capital, the imperial palace, and the Purple Palace.
The emperor sits on the dragon chair, and the ministers meet in the following court.
“…The rebellion of Chen Feng in Huyang has become more and more rampant. Now there are tens of thousands of people, and one family is the only one. It is difficult for the court to suppress the bandits.
A minister opened his mouth to play.
The emperor’s face was sinking like water, and he said slowly: “Last year, I traveled to Ningtian, where the prince was in charge of the country. The officials in Huyang had already reported the incident of bandits. Planting level?”
Because he was assassinated by Duan Yunfeng in Ningtianfu last year, the emperor has no plans to travel this year and has been staying in the capital.
Prince Wang Jing heard the words, and hurried forward, bowed to confess the crime: “My son knows it’s wrong.”
The privy envoy Pang Hong was outstanding and said: “At that time, Prime Minister Qin offered a plan to drive away the tiger and swallow the wolf, recruiting An Huyang pirate to deal with Chen Feng, but now it seems to be useless. Is there any better way now?”
Qin Song didn’t change his face, and said with a bow: “Report to the sage, that the Huyang bandits who recruited Anlai are so bad, it is true that the old minister did not notice.”
The emperor shook his head, without blaming, and asked:
“This Chen Feng has no court, it’s really hateful, I don’t know what plan the Aiqings have to destroy this person?”
Pang Hong immediately opened his mouth and said solemnly: “This Chen Feng is good at opening court, tying people’s hearts, and has a lot of plots of rebellion. According to the minister’s opinion, he should send a large army to destroy it!”
“Treachery?” The emperor frowned.
Although he doesn’t want to spend money on military expenses, if he is a traitor who rebels, he will be killed even if he spends all his money.
After all, bandits and rebels are two concepts, and the imperial court could not sit back and watch the latter act recklessly.
At this time, a minister came out and said:
“Pang Shu’s secret statement is exaggerated. Although Chen Feng is arrogant, arrogant, lawless, and committed riots, he did not rise up, nor did he claim to rebel. He was just a group of bandits. Make a big deal.”
Seeing this, Qin Song immediately said: “Your Majesty, according to the opinion of the old minister, dispatching a large army is a waste of money and half the effort. As long as this Chen Feng does not intensify his attack on the prefecture, it is better to wait for Tianwangzhai to pacify the bandits in Yanbei and Taidong. , and then send them to deal with Chen Feng, no matter how bad it is, they will lose both, and it will not be too late for the imperial court to send troops.”
The emperor heard the words, pondered for a while, and nodded:
“Qin Aiqing’s words are not unreasonable, so I will do as they are.”
As long as he is not a rebel, his principle is to spend as little as possible.
Besides, the place in Huyang has always been troubled by water bandits, but now there is a new leader, and it doesn’t seem to make any difference.
Pang Hong saw that the abacus had failed again, and secretly gritted his teeth and sulked.
After a few words, everyone quickly dealt with this issue and talked about other things.
At this time, a rumor-clearing official said:
“This minister wants to impeach the real Sitianjian Shenxiao Fengling! This man used the method of alchemy to deceive Sheng Ting. Although he was on duty in Sitianjian, he was idle all day. Demons with bad intentions, look to the sage to see clearly!”
The voice of fell, and many courtiers present showed disgust, only to feel that their ears were cocooned.
Since the emperor brought back the real Yufeng, these rumor-clearing officials have been eyeing him, chasing and scolding him for more than half a year, and impeaching him every day.
This seems to have become a trend. If you don’t scold the Lingfengzi and confuse the public with a few words, you can’t show that they are pure streamers.
“Aiqing’s remarks are not good. The real alchemy method is genuine and beneficial to the body. I often take it, and my spirit is much more vigorous than before…”
The emperor was also tired of hearing it, but he couldn’t have a seizure, so he had to appease him once and return to impeachment.
Although the real Yufeng is always targeted, the emperor has obviously felt that his body has become better after taking the other party’s medicinal pills in the past few months. Concubine, re-experienced the joy of fish and water.
This made him more and more fond of Yufeng Zhenren… He gained real benefits, and he would not be shaken by the impeachment of others.
…
Yanbei, somewhere in the plain.
The Tianwangzhai army is stationed here, and the tents are endless, and there is almost no end in sight.
Huyang was very lively, and Yanbei Taidong was also fighting. Since being recruited, Lu Longchuan and other leaders have led the army to expedition to suppress bandits and deal with local bandits.
It was noon at this time, and the camp was burying pots to make rice. Lu Longchuan and other leaders sat by the camp, chatting while eating, and unknowingly talked about the situation on the Huyang side.
“I didn’t expect that Chen Feng could solve the Three Floods so easily and dominate Huyang. He is the leader of the green forest in the south.”
“Yeah, it’s really not easy to compare his Dragon King Village with my Tianwang Village.”
The leaders sighed.
It took them many years to lay the foundation of Tianwangzhai. I didn’t expect that Chen Feng would become a giant in the green forest in just one year, almost on an equal footing with them.
Every time they think about the rapid rise of the other party, everyone has a feeling of being slapped on the beach by the waves behind them, and secretly sighs that they are getting old.
A leader sighed: “Alas, after we recruited security, we have received mixed reputations in the green forest, and we are no longer the leader of the green forest. I am afraid that the position of the overlord of the green forest will fall on Longwangzhai in the future.”
Lu Longchuan heard the words and comforted:
“Brothers, don’t be discouraged, we are on the right track, we will serve the country in the future, and the reputation of Lulin is useless to us. We are no longer characters of this level. As long as the bandits in Yanbei and Taidong are pacified, everyone will be able to Rewards for meritorious deeds.”
Everyone nodded with different expressions.
Xiang Tianjie was hesitant to speak, but in the end he didn’t speak.
Zhao’an’s business is to become a knife in the hands of the imperial court, working hard in exchange for official fame and fortune.
The imperial court recruited them to pacify the bandits in the world. Even if Yanbei and Taidong were settled, they might even be sent to conquer Huyang.
Thinking of Chen Feng’s appalling deeds, Xiang Tianjie couldn’t help but worry.
To fight against such a ruthless character, even if you win, how much will you have to pay, how many brothers will be killed and injured?
For a while, Xiang Tianjie was gradually shaken by the decision of the village owner to be recruited.
