my days with tyrants

Chapter 172 We are innocent!
Kaifeng.

On the city floor.

"Tokyo Menghualu!"

Yang Feng looked at the still dilapidated city in front of him with some emotion...

Of course, this is no longer the city of Kaifeng that year.

The current Kaifeng is newly built, much smaller than the original Kaifeng City, and its area is about one-fifth of the latter, but even after being reduced to this extent, the population in the city is still small, and there are large open spaces everywhere After all, the total population of Henan at this time is about the same as that of Kaifeng in its heyday.

At present, the population of Henan is about two million, and it is like a brother and sister to the chief envoy of Beiping.

However, the latter area is much larger.

Moreover, the population is basically concentrated around Beiping City, so other places are more desolate.

Henan is more balanced.

Guide, Kaifeng, and Luoyang are cities with relatively large populations.

But in any case, this once prosperous and prosperous age has finally become a thing of the past. The war lasted for hundreds of years. The battle between Song and Jin was the frontier, a see-saw battlefield.In the end, Henan was the last place where the Kingdom of Jin resisted, and the bones of the dead were still killed. Then the Mongol rule stabilized slightly and it was the melee at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. Henan was especially the main battlefield.After all, the main control area of ​​Liu Futong and others is Henan and Shandong, and Henan is especially the main battleground. It can be said that this land has been in constant seesaw for hundreds of years.

Coupled with the flooding of the Yellow River.

In the end, the entire Central Plains became like this.

"Recovery after more than [-] years is not bad. It was only when the king became a feudal vassal that the road was in trouble."

Lai Gong said.

Next to him, King Zhou smiled modestly.

His attitude towards Yang Feng was very unusual. It could be said that he was enthusiastic. He even accompanied Ambassador Yang on a tour of the city and discussed medicine with him, as if an old friend was reunited.

"That's why His Highness compiled the Bencao for Rescuing Famines?"

Yang Feng said.

"The land of Henan has been in war for hundreds of years, and the Yellow River has flooded, the land is full of yellow sand, the people are poor, and there is constant famine. The little king is here. After all, he can't just sit back and watch the people starve and cold. Although his ability is limited, he must do something after all. "

King Zhou said.

"Your Highness is truly a virtuous king!"

Yang Feng quickly praised him.

Of course, this guy is not a good bird.

King Zhou was even brought back under house arrest by Zhu Yuanzhang before, but Hong Wu only released him in 24 years because he left the fief privately and went to meet secretly with his father-in-law Feng Sheng.He is the son-in-law, who can make Zhu Yuanzhang, who has always been protective of the calf, angry like this. He and Feng Sheng are definitely not as simple as meeting each other. It is inevitable to form an alliance of common advance and retreat.

But after being taught a lesson by Zhu Yuanzhang, he is very low-key now.

His father-in-law is also very low-key.

Feng Sheng now learns from Tang He in those days, and also claims to take care of the sick at home.

Zhu Yuanzhang has lost interest in killing these veterans now. After all, now that Yang Feng is an actual threat, he needs the sincere unity within the Ming Dynasty. It depends on Yang Wen's level of conquest.

Fu Youde is the only top veteran who is still in charge of the real power.

The latter was very enthusiastic in Peiping.

In fact, it's hard to say whether he has a part in this incident.

After all, he and King Jin are allies.

His daughter married the eldest son of King Jin.

"Ambassador, Xiao Wang would like to ask the ambassador to stay for a few more days, and there are still some things I would like to ask. I wonder if the ambassador would be kind to me?"

Zhou Wang said with a smile.

Yang Feng looked at Gong...

"I'm old, I'm going to walk the mountain road next, I can't walk fast, if the ambassador wants to stay for a few days, the old man will go first, you and I can meet in Zezhou."

Lai Gong said.

He is also telling the truth.

He is so old that he can't compare with Yang Feng who is riding in a four-wheeled carriage. The latter's carriage has shock absorbers and is pulled by two horses. It is easy to run a hundred miles a day. He must keep up with him on horseback. , an old bone can't hold up to toss.

The road ahead is even more difficult, especially the mountain road at Tianjingguan.

So it's a little easier to go a few days in advance.

"In that case, I will bother His Highness for a few days!"

Yang Feng said straightforwardly.

At this moment, his eyes fell on Chun Ji who was waiting under the city wall.

The latter is walking towards a young man.

Yang Feng looked suspiciously, then the young man suddenly turned his head and smiled at him...

"Your Majesty, I want to walk around the city by myself."

Yang Feng said.

"Ambassador please!"

King Zhou said hurriedly.

Yang Feng immediately went down the city wall, as if he really admired the city of Kaifeng, he strolled leisurely with his hands behind his back, after making sure that the view from the tower was blocked, he entered the side alley without hesitation, and then caught up with Chun Ji who was also inside And that man, directly pressing the back of his head against the wall...

"Where's the princess?"

Yang Feng said angrily.

"Why, can't I come by myself?"

Zhang Ying, who was dressed in men's clothes, leaned on the wall and said with a smile.

"Really?"

Yang Feng said.

"The princess gave me an excuse to go back to Beiping to visit my mother, so I came to watch you, lest you get into trouble on the way, the embassy is already crowded enough, you go out and bring back at least one, she doesn't want you to wait for you Becoming a son-in-law is already a crowd of beauties."

Zhang Ying said.

Yang Feng was speechless, then let go of his hand, but slapped her casually.

"Did you go to the bank?"

he asked.

Of course there is a bank in Kaifeng, and the bank is the little princess's intelligence network, but Zhang Ying mainly works for her, just like the little princess's spy chief, so Zhang Ying came to complete the intelligence network for him, after all, the little princess also knows, Yang Feng said Line is a war.

"I went, but it's useless, the news from Taiyuan hasn't come yet.

Our message delivery is too slow.

You have to find a way to make our news delivery faster, not only for the current use, but also for many things in the bank that need to be delivered in a timely manner in the future. Several places, it took several days to spread the news from Taiyuan, and it took half a month to reach the headquarters in Beijing. "

Zhang Ying said.

"What else do you want, I'll make you a wireless telegraph?"

Yang Feng said.

Of course, wireless telegraphy is too difficult.

Although Sister Liu can indeed help him with the design and even the manufacturing method, given the current level of technology, it is unlikely that he can create a practical telegram.

At most you can experiment later.

cable telegraph...

Then he has to solve the problem of being cut wires first.

So there is really no good way to do this, at most it is to repair the communication tower. This is indeed possible, but it will definitely be prostituted by Zhu Yuanzhang, but it is also okay to be prostituted by him. It will be difficult to keep Zhu Yuanzhang's secrets.

"Hurry up and change into women's clothes, and then go directly to Zhou Wang's mansion to find me. Now Zhou Wang is delaying time."

He said.

King Zhou was indeed stalling for time.

Including the friendly attitude towards him is also pretended.

Probably he was afraid that his third brother did not make enough preparations, so he delayed here for a few days, and Lai Gong and Yang Feng were traveling together. If Lai Gong was killed together, other things would easily happen. history.So King Zhou dragged Yang Feng away from Yang Feng and Lai Gong at the same time for a few days, and the rest was left to his third brother to arrange an ambush. The most suitable place should be Tianjing Pass, and it might also be the Yellow River Ferry.In short, to separate Yang Feng and Lai Gong, the rest is to arrange an ambush, even if Yang Feng cannot be killed once, at worst, continue to kill.

Bandits chant!
Isn't it reasonable for some bandits to appear in the Taihang Mountains?
And not just the Taihang Mountains.

From Tianjing Pass to the north until the South and North Passes, the entire route is hundreds of miles, and all mountain bandits are infested, so any mountain road can be an ambush battlefield.

"Then what should I do with you?"

Zhang Ying said.

"You go to see me. I heard that you are going back to Beiping to visit your mother. Based on our relationship, shouldn't we go to your house together?"

Yang Feng said with a smile.

He won't follow the opponent's train of thought!

"Hey, who has anything to do with you?"

Zhang Ying spat at him and said.

"It's not too late to happen now!"

Yang Feng said.

As he said that, he pushed him against the wall again...

the next day.

"What, the ambassador is going to Peking?"

King Zhou said in astonishment.

"Your Highness, I'm really sorry. I didn't expect that she insisted on letting me go to Peiping together. You also know that we are in love with each other. There have been many rumors about us outside. Why is she escaping marriage? I am fighting for a woman with King Yan." Kind, although these are all nonsense, but we are indeed in love with each other, and now she has this rare opportunity to go to Peking to meet her mother together.

Maybe it will be fulfilled. "

Yang Feng said shamelessly.

Zhang Ying came to look for him this morning. As the princess's trusted female official, she is being warmly welcomed by Princess Zhou. After all, the little princess, a super rich woman, is now the darling of the aristocratic inner house.

Follow her to get rich!

Then of course her number one confidant is also the darling of the aristocratic inner house.

"Uh, the ambassador and the fourteenth sister?"

King Zhou said in astonishment.

"Princess? She is only fifteen, what can there be between us, we are actually like brothers and sisters, please don't misunderstand, Your Highness, we are innocent."

Yang Feng said.

Zhou Wang was depressed for a while.

You are so innocent!
The whole world knows that you share the same car when you go out, and share the same room when you enter, that there is a table for each person upstairs in the embassy, ​​and the news that the princess often dresses up in strange clothes has long been known by the whole world.But no one dared to say anything, after all, she was a princess, and His Majesty the Emperor is very sensitive to this issue, although he also knew it, but if you insist on exposing it, it will easily turn into anger.

So even if the little princess is wearing a small skirt and acting as a sign girl, everyone is still praising Princess Hanshan for being virtuous and virtuous.

what?
She hugged Yang Feng?

Nonsense, who saw it, and which eyes were not able to see it?
If your eyes are not working well, just dig it out!
I don't want to dig, should I ask Jin Yiwei for help?
In this situation, now you actually say that there is nothing between you?

After all, I'm still her brother!
"Since that's the case, it's inconvenient for Xiao Wang to stay longer."

He said.

There's no point in procrastinating now.

Because if Yang Feng goes to Beiping, he doesn’t need to take the post road west to Guangwu to cross the river. He just crosses the river north of Kaifeng and then goes north.In the final analysis, King Zhou was not involved in it, and he can't do too much, at least not so much as to involve himself.

"Your Highness, don't you think that your position is not suitable for a prince?

Henan!

Zhongzhou!
Is there anyone who regards the Central Plains as a vassal king? "

Yang Feng said.

You don't want to get involved?
That forces you to get involved!
Anyway, King Zhou's fiefdom must be taken away in the future.

"What does the ambassador want to say?"

Zhou Wang said very deeply.

"It's nothing, I just think it's unreasonable for His Highness to be a fief. After all, since ancient times, those who own the Central Plains have won the world, and His Highness has ruled the Central Plains alone. Even if the emperor of your country trusts His Highness because his father and son are close relatives, he won't doubt His Highness. Wouldn't it be right for someone who can succeed you?" His Highness is so trusting? Since Yang and His Highness feel like old friends at first sight, he should be open and honest. Does His Highness live in a place of great appearance and heart, so doesn't he have a little self-knowledge?
If I were His Royal Highness, then I would simply go up and ask to transfer the feudal domain.

Return this fief to the imperial court.

Please His Majesty the Emperor of your country set aside another fief for you. "

Yang Feng said.

The king of Zhou almost forcibly controlled his anger, and then he silently listened to his provocation...

It is provocative.

Even if Yang Feng puts on a posture of confiding his heart, it can't change the fact that this is a provocation. How can it be you, an outsider, to interfere in the matter of the emperor's father, son, brother, uncle, and nephew?If it was a minister of the Ming Dynasty, that one person who divorced his close relatives would be enough to confiscate his family and exterminate his family.

Of course, King Zhou also knew very well that Yang Feng was behind the emperor's grandson. Yang Feng's words were actually a warning from the emperor's grandson, telling him that Zhou Fan, the feudal lord, would definitely withdraw in the future.If he was sensible, he would honestly ask himself to withdraw from the feudal clan, lest the emperor's grandson be violent to him.

"What the ambassador taught, always remember!"

King Zhou said slowly.

"Yes, Your Highness must think about it. It's best to move the feudal clan as soon as possible. In fact, I don't think it's necessary to move the feudal clan. I just hand over the fiefdom and withdraw the feudal clan. I'll keep my status as a feudal lord. When the time comes, I'll take the salary I deserve to go to the capital." How nice to be a Prince of Peace.

You don't have to worry about anything in the future.

Not to mention having to lead troops to the battlefield to enjoy the glory and wealth happily. "

Yang Feng said.

To be precise, they are raised happily as pigs.

"see a visitor out!"

Zhu Xi almost gritted his teeth and said.

He can't accept being raised as a pig. Now Yang Feng's threat is what Zhu Yunxi will do to him after he succeeds to the throne in the future, so he must find a way to protect himself next.If he could continue to sit back and watch this struggle in the past, then he won't be able to in the future. If he doesn't want to be withdrawn in the future, he must stand by his third brother and Zhu Yunqi.

As for his fourth brother...

His fourth brother is too strong, he doesn't want to live under the shadow of his fourth brother.

It belonged to his own brother, a compatriot from the same mother.

Yang Feng walked away satisfied as if he didn't see his ashen face.

It's the result that I want.

Zhu Wei has to get involved if he doesn't want to!

If you want to cooperate with his third brother secretly, but you don't want to be involved in it and be affected later, how can there be such a good thing in this world, you can either be honest, or join the battlefield, if you don't join, you will be kicked in.
