Your Majesty invites you?

Right Minister Feng Yuning's thoughts froze for a moment. He didn't know why, but everything was clearly under control. Even if King Qin suddenly came, he could retreat step by step according to his own arrangements.

Finally, I left calmly and gained a reputation for boating on the lake.

Everything is arranged, everything is under control,

But, you, you all!

His sleeves were rolled up, and his palms were pressed firmly. He felt an irritating feeling in his heart that he had everything ready, but was being torn apart. This irritating feeling came from the confidant butler, from his nephew, from

Every inch of land in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Those people who used to call each other back and forth, but now they became part of the force that restrained him, just like the flesh and blood on his body, they dared to rebel against him.

This irritability comes from the King of Qin who suddenly tore apart this troubled world.

It came from His Majesty Chen Huang’s invitation at this critical moment.

These people, these people!

Why are they not willing to be used as pawns one by one? Why are these so-called heroes, heroes, common people, and lackeys all having their own ideas? Why are they not willing to obey?!

The so-called human heart is like this. At this time, Feng Yuning felt like resisting, but he raised his head and saw the gentle and tranquil gaze in the eyes of the eunuch. The latter took half a step forward and said in a low voice: "The rebels surround me.

Capital City, Your Majesty is a little worried about state affairs."

"We really need the help of the Gonggun princes and loyal ministers and righteous men."

"Right now, General Zhao, Lord Liu, and Minister Wu are all here————·

Feng Yuning's tense mind relaxed.

He subconsciously chose the possibility that he hoped for in his heart, that is to say, when the country's capital city was besieged and there were wars on all four borders, the emperor was still flustered and finally became afraid.

These kings usually pretend to be so-called lofty ideals and so-called heroic heroes, but there are many records in the history of Qing Dynasty. Before the fall of the country, they were not as good as those ordinary people, let alone the great scholars with great righteousness.

But it's just an act.

It was probably at this time that I was extremely scared.

Therefore, it is necessary for them, loyal gentlemen, to come and crowd around him. Feng Yuning feels at ease in his heart. He has read a lot.

Knowing that such things happened in ancient dynasties, even the so-called emperor was afraid at this time.

The kings of the Manchu dynasty could escape, surrender, and even remain prosperous and wealthy after surrendering. The so-called aristocratic families had money and land, and if they knew how to stand in line and support them, they could also have a future. This is the case with the so-called thousand-year-old family.

Even those mud-legged people who lowered their heads into the dust and had their hands and feet in the mud could survive.

But, only the king.

There is no way you can survive after surrendering.

What's more, someone like Chen Huang?

But you are also a coward. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, just go to hell alone. With the help of your death, I will gain a firm foothold in the new era and gain glory and wealth. By then, you will be under the Nine Springs.

I will also burn some incense sticks for you.

So he calmed down, swept his sleeves and robes to calm down his nephew, pointed at the two dead bodies, and said: "These two slaves, eating the country's salary, are working together inside and outside to inform the King of Qin.

.”

"I was anxious and resentful in my heart. After knowing the news in advance, I dealt with the two of them according to family law. I was about to take them to the government office to surrender, but the army was approaching the city and the country was in turmoil. Even if His Majesty did not come to call,

I have to go too."

The eunuch in charge of ceremony said gently: "King Qin?"

Feng Yuning's thoughts froze slightly.

He felt an aura about this very feminine, non-male and non-female person that could not be put into words but made his heart palpitate, so his expression remained unchanged, with sadness and resentment on his face, and he sighed:

"No matter what, after all, it is the title given by His Majesty the Red Emperor himself."

"The hatred of the country and the family is here. What can we do about it?"

The eunuch in charge of the ceremony said: "Your Majesty is so loyal that it touches heaven and earth. I know this too. Your Majesty is anxious and hopes to see you all there immediately. Please follow me into the palace as soon as possible."

"good."

Feng Yuning felt more and more at ease in her heart, and had no more doubts. She ordered her family, pointed her finger at the two corpses that he had beaten to death, and cursed: "These traitors are really abominable.

, have you all remembered what I just told you?"

His nephew said respectfully: "Yes."

"Everything will be done according to uncle's instructions. It will be done properly and there won't be any mistakes again."

He felt relieved and understood what his uncle meant. He was the one who went to deal with Emperor Chen. The matters here involved his family and life, so he had to do it carefully. He respectfully watched the eunuch Si Li take his right minister Feng Yuning.

Went out.

When Feng Yuning walked out, her sleeves and robe were shaking slightly.

Jiangzhou City was uncharacteristically quiet, yet noisy at the same time.

There were no people on the road, and the dull sound of swords could be heard outside. On the wide road, people used to come and go, and the sedan chair was not allowed to move forward. When he went out, he had to sit in the sedan chair, which had three front and rear carriages.

There are sons from families who have practiced martial arts ahead of them to drive the way forward.

There are still young men from aristocratic families and scholars who have been studying poetry here for twenty years. They squeeze out from the crowd like moths to a flame, resist the violent urging of the servants, and then have to squeeze into the sedan chair.

next to.

Go and put in the land deed, the banknote, and the verses that you have worked so hard on.

Inside the sedan there is a carved silver stove.

It is quite elegant to stuff it with beautiful articles and light a fire to warm yourself up.

But looking around today, there was no one there, and there were no gorgeous sedans like in the past. Only then did Feng Yuning suddenly realize that the streets of Jiangzhou City were so wide.

Wide and empty.

In the past, the servants always complained that the front door of the Prime Minister's Mansion was too busy, with people coming and going, and the floor at the door made of fine stone could not be swept clean no matter how hard it was. But now there is no one in front, and the floor is spotless and gray.

Empty, like transparent ice.

When the wind blows past, there is an inexplicable feeling of desolation.

Feng Yuning looked distracted.

The eunuch in charge of the ceremony smiled and said: "Sir, please."

Feng Yuning turned around and saw two white stone lions in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Inside the gate, the family members were looking at him. Feng Yuning turned around, nodded to the eunuch, and said, "I'd like to help you, sir, to lead the way."

The carriage started driving.

Feng Yuning closed her eyes in the sedan chair, sorting out her thoughts and thinking about what she would do in the future. Gradually, as her thoughts became clearer, his spirit calmed down.

Over the decades, the officialdom has experienced ups and downs, and many emperors have passed through it.

I also saw the bravery of the regent Chen Fubi.

At this moment, Emperor Chen, a mere king who has subjugated his country, can he surpass the courage and courage of the previous emperors? Could it be said that Chen Dingye still has the courage and means at the level of Chen Fubi's brothers?

There is absolutely no such possibility.

There was actually quite a long distance between the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Imperial Palace. In the past, it was too early to go to court. He could still close his eyes in this sedan chair, rest a little, take a nap, and when he woke up, he arrived just in time.

But this time, the journey was so short and the time was so fast.

Already arrived.

He got off the sedan and saw that many sedans had stopped around him. The palace gate in front of him was open, but there were no arrangements. So he straightened his clothes and used the action of arranging his clothes to calm down his mood.

Immediately he followed the eunuch of the ceremony and went to the main hall. He vaguely heard the people coming. It was Shilang Wu who said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty!!! Now, the country is in a moment of crisis.

You don’t think about the affairs of the country, and you brought the generals and ministers here just for such a ridiculous thing?!"

"Your Majesty, where are the instructions of the saints?"

"Your Majesty, where is the dignity of these ancestors? Our ancestors are leading the army to fight with their guns, but you are here doing such a ridiculous thing.

Wouldn't it bring shame to our ancestors and make Emperor Wu angry?"

"Your behavior is extremely ridiculous. You are simply not worthy of being a king!!!"

This angry shout was righteous and stern, and it could be said that it was an awe-inspiring righteousness.

The weight of this sentence was also extremely heavy. It was so heavy that Right Minister Feng Yuning raised the corners of his eyes, and then lowered his eyebrows. He knew that this old minister was a talented and capable person. When he was young,

Chen Guotaiping.

However, aristocratic families are running rampant. In the files submitted, there are too many omissions of household registrations and fraudulent registrations of young and old. These omitted young and strong men are all used by this large and small aristocratic family. This kind of thing has been a routine thing in all dynasties.

The Wu Shilang ordered a re-examination of the household registration. If one person was false, he would be dismissed. He also allowed people to report. If there was one more man reported, the family who was reported would be ordered to pay taxes and levies on their behalf.

It has great insight into people's hearts.

That year, the counties accounted for 243,000 young men and 641,500 new households.
