Chapter 3 What is peaceful evolution?
"Young Master, do you want the officials to release your family?"
"No need, there is a mess, so let them stay in prison. I don't think they will suffer any grievances."
"Yes, yes, then... should you let your second brother out?" Obviously, I still felt that Zhao Kuangmei was too young and had no hair on her lips, so she wanted to let out a big one be her master.
"Hmm? My second brother? Isn't he accompanies the army?"
"Young Master was joking, and let the second brother become the entrusting official know that this... is not qualified to follow the army."
Zhao Kuangmei was stunned when she heard this, thinking, wasn’t the history books saying that the second brother and the eldest brother went to the army to fight, or was the deputy director behind the scenes who were wearing yellow robe?
It is also said that when the army returned, the second brother deliberately stopped the eldest brother's horse head and urged the eldest brother not to slaughter the people after returning to Kaifeng. It seemed that if he didn't persuade him, the eldest brother would slaughter the city like Guo Wei. Why is this person in prison?
Oh~, his official position is a small official who serves people. His job responsibility is to serve tea and water to the adults in the army to find girls. Chai Rong was rewarded casually for his father and brother's face, and he was not qualified to follow the army at all.
Sima Guang, a bird man! He is so shameless! He doesn’t even want to lick his second brother’s butt!
"No need, my second brother is timid and can't do anything big. Don't let him out and let him stay in prison. By the way, does he have a little girl singing music?"
“Uh…yes.”
"I evacuated and evacuated, and I evacuated. What are the treatments of normal prisoners? What are my second brother's treatments? Don't treat them specially. If you find a girl for my second brother, aren't you afraid that my second sister-in-law will be angry? You might as well not know who my second sister-in-law is? You almost made a big mistake! Do you know the big thing that ruined my eldest brother?"
"Ah... your second sister-in-law is...ah~, villain, villain understands, let's make arrangements, let's make arrangements."
The wife of his second brother is the surname Fu. Fu, the daughter of Empress Dowager Fu is the daughter of Fu Yanqing, the King of Wei and the Queen Mother of the current dynasty. I don’t know what the prison guard understood, but he understood anyway.
At this time, the prisoner in prison asked, "Young Master, then now we are going to kill directly to the Guards to capture Han Tong? But we don't have weapons."
"No, don't go to the Guards directly. You guys, in groups of twenty people, only do one thing, that is, spread rumors everywhere, saying that Han Tong was trying to lead his troops to resist my brother, and ordered all of us and other families to be executed, and repeat the old story of the Later Han and Guo Wei. After Shen Shi today, come to Fanlou to gather for me and follow the instructions."
"Ah...this..."
“Are there any problems?”
"No, no, we know how to do it."
But I couldn't help but report it in my heart, thinking that this third young master Zhao's methods were too ruthless.
The so-called old story of Guo Wei is the case where Emperor Liu Chengyou, the Later Han emperor, killed Guo Wei's family in advance because he was suspicious of Guo Wei's rebellion.
Then Guo Wei took it seriously and rebelled. That is, Taizu of the Later Zhou Dynasty, Chai Rong's adoptive father, passed the throne to his adopted son because his whole family had no biological son at all. After Guo Wei broke through Kaifeng, in order to avenge his family, he ordered the city to be massacred and not to be sealed for three days!
At least in name, Guo Wei's reason for massacre of the city was to take revenge.
This was just a matter of ten years ago.
This incident is undoubtedly the deepest fear in my memory for every adult in the city, so the people naturally don’t have much loyalty to a regime that slaughtered you ten years ago.
This rumor is very terrifying. Ten years ago, Liu Chengyou killed Guo Wei's family, so Guo Wei put on a yellow robe and slaughtered Kaifeng. Now Zhao Kuangyin has also put on a yellow robe. Han Tong actually caught Zhao Kuangyin's family and planned to kill him?
Then would Zhao Kuangyin also massacre the city like Guo Wei?
Normal people will definitely think about this. Even if everyone knows that Zhao Kuangyin is kind-hearted, who dares to bet that he will be as kind as before after his rebellion?
Although Han Tong didn't dare to kill them at all, if he really issued this order, no one would dare to execute it, but how could ordinary people know the truth?
After saying that, he said to the prisoners: "Brothers, please help me with one thing, that is, to invite wealthy businessmen in Kaifeng. When you heard that anyone with money was rich, you would go to them and say that I would invite everyone to dinner and pick up girls in Fanlou. If you are willing to give me face, please come and ask for anything you don't want to give me face. If you don't want to give me face, don't force me, just make a small notebook and write it down."
"Here."
This is all needless to say. At this time, there were no one in Kaifeng City besides Han Tong himself who dared not to give Zhao Kuangmei face. Soon, all the people he invited sat in his seat.
Zhao Kuangmei was sitting at the top of the house alone, looking at the scene in the distance with her little hand on her back, and sighed for a moment, saying:
"Kaifeng is so noisy today. Look, many people are packing up in big bags. They are going to move. The country changes hands, and the people are not worthy of it. The people in this city are displaced because of this. Han Tong is really a sin."
The wealthy businessmen invited by Zhao Kuangmei were speechless. Who is doing this?
The merchants were confused for a while and really didn't know what to say. The key is that everyone didn't know what Zhao Kuangmei was going to do. She was just a ten-year-old child. Could it be that Zhao Kuangyin stayed in Beijing?
This is too much.
"You are all merchants in Kaifeng City. Only when Kaifeng City is peaceful and prosperous can you continue your business. If Kaifeng City suffers from military disasters, your business will naturally be greatly affected. If the turmoil is too big, like ten years ago, you may be lambs waiting to be slaughtered. Don't you want to be lambs, right?"
"Of course, this rumor has been circulating for many days before. Since you haven't run away early, you naturally believe in my elder brother's character. My elder brother has always been kind and righteous. Now that he is forcibly supported by his subordinates, he will definitely try his best to restrain his troops and not hurt the people in the city, so that you can make money and make a living."
"I just hate Han Tong. I can't stand the prosperity of Kaifeng and insist on hurting the people in the city. Think about it, Han Tong is going to rob your money and your girls now, and maybe even chop your heads. Is he evil? Is he very bad? He wants to be a loyal minister of the Later Zhou Dynasty, but he has implicated you to bury him. Why? Such a person is simply too bad and bad. Are you right?"
For a moment, everyone felt that they were holding a bit of old complaints in their hearts and couldn't speak up.
But they really have to admit that Zhao Kuangmei was right.
At present, Han Tong is almost the only one who is a loyal minister in Kaifeng City. Everyone admires such a person in their hearts, but if Kaifeng suffers military disasters because of his loyalty, then he will naturally be our enemy. What does it have to do with who is the emperor and the common people?
I heard Zhao Kuangmei continue to talk, "Everyone, Kaifeng City is not just my brother's Kaifeng City, it is also Kaifeng City for all of us. It should belong to you, me, and every person living on this land. Han Tong, a bad guy, actually wanted to destroy the prosperity of Kaifeng City with his own selfishness. Do you agree?"
Seeing that everyone was not talking, Zhao Kuangmei simply made a guest appearance and turned around and raised her right fist in the direction she had just now, shouting: "Don't agree!"
Merchants: “…………”
"Very good, so I suggest that we set up a volunteer group to save Kaifeng. Are there people who don't want to participate? Li Mingren, please find a notebook to record it."
“…………”
"Then is gone? Very good, then I will continue to say that, so our goal is to save Kaifeng. Please mobilize your own servants, buddies, workers, and friends, immediately, let us take to the streets, unite as many people as possible in the city, mobilize them one after another, and go to the Guards Office to ask Han Tong to hand over the military power, give up resistance, and also Kaifeng has a prosperous peace. Do you think it's okay? Whoever refuses to go will be Han Tong's lackey!"
