my days with tyrants

Chapter 205

three days later.

night.

Gaogang in the south of Taiyuan City.

In fact, it is the Twin Pagoda Temple, but there is no temple here yet, it was built during the Wanli period, and now it was originally a high hill full of trees...

Of course, there are no more trees.

After all, there are a lot of people picnicking nearby in the past six months, and this is the nearest source of firewood, so the trees have been cut down, and the bareness is like the picture in some environmentalist warning pictures. Relying on this advantage, it was selected for the tripartite talks the venue.

Isn't Ming Xia Song the three parties?

Although Ambassador Yang is alone, he also represents a country, not to mention that he is also the convener of this grand event that will determine the fate of Shanxi.

"Congratulations to Princess Jin, welcome to Prince Jin!"

Under the light of the river god who had been carried to the highest place, Ambassador Yang shouted solemnly.

Drums and music rang around him, and under the gaze of countless eyes, Prince Jin supported his stepmother and aunt, who was only in her 30s, like a filial son. It can only be called Princess Jin.Just because there is no King Jin now, all affairs of the Jin Fan are in the hands of the princess, just like Princess Lu, but Princess Lu is not as happy as her. After all, the actual affairs of the Lu Fan are in the hands of the officials who stay in the palace.

But Jin Fan has the final say.

This woman is very skillful, and now there is no resistance in Jin Fan to Yi Fan.

Even many people are looking forward to being able to move the feudal clan...

Gold mine!
Who doesn't love gold?
What's more, Ambassador Yang is the guarantor. Don't you believe in the princess or him?
A little behind the concubine is Wei Guogong, who is dressed in obedience, and behind him are the main civil officials such as the chief envoy.

And the ugly Wei commanded soldiers in full armor to protect him.

They walked in the crowd like this, with unfriendly eyes on both sides, and under the shroud of the holy light in front, were hundreds of capitals elected by each capital...

After all, there has to be an official title. Since all of them are elected, of course it is the head of the city. Everyone chooses one, and there must be more than one in each county. About ten are medium, and more than twenty cannot be called. Very rare.This thing is actually equivalent to a township. The source of the capital is the capital protection system in the Northern Song Dynasty. Ten households are protected for one, fifty households are protected for one, and ten households are protected for one. The management system is constantly changing, but this stubbornly exists among the people and becomes a geographical division.It even continued until the end of the Qing Dynasty, and finally in the township autonomy movement in the late Qing Dynasty, it became the basis for dividing towns and towns. Those with more than 5 people were counted as towns, and those with less than [-] people were counted as townships.

As for now...

Very confusing.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang's grassroots is Lijia, and the rest are divided by the locality itself.

At present, the township is generally governed by the county, the capital by the township, and the map by the capital, and the map is the li.

However, this is a densely populated place.

In sparsely populated places, many simply call Li the capital. After all, there are places with thousands of households in a county, but as the population multiplies, this becomes bigger.

Although the young and strong gathered under the city of Taiyuan this time mainly come from Taiyuan and Pingyang, the two prefectures together account for more than half of the population of Shanxi. At this time, Taiyuan prefecture has 22 counties in six prefectures, and Pingyang prefecture has 28 six prefectures. Counties, plus some Liaozhou and Qinzhou, which are the nearest Zhili prefectures, are really close to thousands.

And these are all prestige in various places that can be convinced by young adults.

In the words of Song Heizi, he is a hero.

Therefore, for the senior food chiefs in the council, this kind of person is obviously an unstable factor in their own territory.

Belongs to thorns.

Encourage the young and strong to elect them. If they choose Ming, that’s fine. If they choose Song, then they are all rebels.

And if they choose clearly, then if the people are dissatisfied with the imperial court in the future, they can put all the responsibility on them.

They chose it!
It was they who caused us to suffer in Daming.

If they had elected the Song Dynasty back then, everyone might have already enjoyed the food and drink by this time.

In this way, they will be abandoned by the common people, and there is no need to worry about them leading the unreasonable people to fight against the elder grain chiefs. After all, the elder grain chiefs are actually village sages, the main landlords who control the place, and they will always be local controller.

My Ming Dynasty has realized the ideals of many modern experts.

Prosperity of the townspeople!
Earth emperor.

As for Zhu Yuanzhang's restrictive measures, they are useless, especially in Shanxi, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away.

"Cao Min welcomes the prince's son, and welcomes Wei Guogong!"

The elder food chiefs of the council first stepped forward to meet the current actual rulers of Shanxi.

"Elders, please be free from courtesy. You are dying and doing your best for Ming Dynasty. After this matter is over, I will report to His Majesty Ming in old age."

The concubine, who was still alive on Yang Feng last night, said as if she was going to follow her husband soon.

The elders got up quickly.

"princess!"

Then it was Yang Feng's turn to step forward and salute.

"I'm here to thank the ambassador. I'm so tired of running around for my affairs in the Jin Dynasty. I will thank you in the future."

The princess said very gracefully.

"Princess, the grassroots have the courage to ask you something. If we choose to return to the Song Dynasty, will the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty really withdraw from Shanxi, so that Shanxi will return to the Song Dynasty?"

All of them suddenly asked.

"You are so rude!"

An old man immediately accused him very loyally.

"Liu Taigong, you told us to come here to talk. If we are not allowed to talk, then why are we here?"

The other said with a dissatisfied head.

"That's right, asking us to come is to let us make a decision. Don't you even ask us what to say? We have to ask clearly, otherwise we made a choice, and in the end we were happy for nothing. The court didn't follow suit, but put us When the rebels are encircling and suppressing, then what choice should we choose here? We have to make it clear. At this time, the son has not succeeded to the throne, and this Shanxi is the princess. We naturally have to ask the princess for clarification, and the princess has to swear an oath with Wei Guogong , otherwise we should not choose."

Another head came out and said.

"The more you talk, the more shameful you become. Are you trying to coerce the princess?"

An old man said angrily.

"I'm just waiting to ask, how did it become coercion? Could it be that if everyone knelt down, kowtowed, and begged the princess for a word of permission, wouldn't that be considered coercion?"

"That's right, we're just asking how it becomes coercion?"

……

Those all shouted.

"You bastards are so bold, be careful that I will cut off your heads!"

Wei Shan drew his sword and shouted.

Those are all laughing...

"Brothers, let's just ask a question. Commander Wei is going to chop off our heads. They want us to choose, but now they don't allow us to speak. What do you think is the reason? Could it be that we are going to be puppets? , Wherever they tell them to swing, they can swing it still?"

All of them shouted at the young adults below.

"Commander Wei, there are 30 brothers here, young ones, and they all want to ask the concubine for an accurate answer, so come here and cut them down!"

"Yes, brothers promise not to fight back!"

……

There was laughter below.

And behind them, there is a seemingly endless torch light. Although more than 30 people are indeed not all gathered, there are still 10,000+ young and strong in the south of Taiyuan City, and they have all been mobilized. They are waiting for the result around them, like a vast ocean There is generally no end in sight.

Wei Shan stood there awkwardly holding the knife.

"Princess, I think this is reasonable. Besides, this is already decided. Why don't you obey the people's request and make an oath with Duke Wei?"

Ambassador Yang stepped forward immediately.

The princess turned her head and looked at Wei Guogong indifferently.

"Wei Guogong is only a survivor and has no right to manage the affairs of the court. The Jin Fan has already submitted the memorial to ask for the transfer of the domain. If the people don't want me to stay here, the world is so big, there will always be a place. Can accommodate us orphans and widowed mothers. I can swear to the sky, if the people refuse to tolerate, we Jinfan will leave. As for the court, that is the responsibility of Wei Guogong, and it has nothing to do with my Jinfan. A group of orphans and widows don’t need to guard the land for His Majesty.”

She said.

Wei Guogong looked at her deeply...

This woman is very bad, Jin Wang is dead, and the new Jin Wang has not yet been crowned, she can indeed say that there are only a group of orphans and widows left in Jin Fan.

Therefore, they cannot be blamed for losing Shanxi.

But the problem is, he can't!
Xu Huizu looked at Yang Feng, and suddenly realized that he might have been fooled again.

"Wei Guogong, we have agreed. Besides, it is just an oath. It doesn't mean that the people will choose the Song Dynasty. They just want a guarantee. It is also very reasonable. Otherwise, please ask the God of the River to swear an oath with you?"

Yang Feng said.

"Yes, if the people choose Daming, a certain person will return to the Yellow River, and if he violates this oath, he will be destroyed physically and spiritually."

The ethereal voice of the River God sounded.

and so……

"Duke Wei please swear!"

There was a tsunami-like roar all around.

"Wei Guogong?"

Yang Feng said.

Wei Guogong quickly searched for the scapegoat, but only then did he realize that the chief envoy and others who were following him had all hidden ten steps away...

"So what if someone refuses to swear?"

he said angrily.

"Wei Guogong, you only summoned them after you agreed. Now that they have been summoned, you refuse to make an oath. Are you kidding me? I can clearly say that if they do something at this time, I will not stop them. If He God wants to use force to restore the rule of the Song Dynasty in Shanxi. I will support it. I use the ambassador of the Great Xia Kingdom as a middleman. In order not to let the people suffer from the flames of war, I can say that I will put up my face to mediate. You promised to let the people choose, I I just came forward, I know the people trust me, and now you want to break your promise, it is not only a humiliation to me, but also to Daxia, and the God of the River has made an oath, and he has fulfilled his promise, so at least on the issue of Shanxi , I have to help the river god.

He wants to lead the people of Shanxi to expel your army by force, and I will support them. "

Yang Feng put on an obviously indignant look and said.

Xu Huizu looked at him sadly and angrily.

He can already be sure that he was played by Yang Feng. This bastard deliberately drove him to a dead end, leaving him no other choice. He must swear an oath on behalf of the Ming Emperor in front of these unscrupulous people. Once they choose Da Song, they will lead the army Exit Shanxi.

He has no other choice.

Otherwise, Daming would lose Shanxi as well.

If the common people choose, it is still possible to keep Shanxi. After all, it is impossible for the common people to really miss the shitty Song Dynasty. It was almost 300 years ago. Since Jingkang, Shanxi has never been associated with the Song Dynasty. How could it be possible to miss it for almost 300 years? The dynasty years ago, and it was so shameful to die.But if Yang Feng really wants to make a move, then these ordinary people are very willing to follow him to rebel. After all, the benefits given by this bastard are real. It can be said that as long as he says to rebel and separate Shanxi, then the people of Shanxi will definitely follow.

But the current Daming has absolutely no ability to deal with him.

Raising tigers is a problem!
If when he first appeared back then, His Majesty the Emperor could have killed thousands of soldiers and piled him up in the capital. Now that he has become powerful, his ambitions have begun to be exposed.

His Majesty the Emperor has always missed plans to kiss jackals!

He swore that half of Shanxi might be saved, but Wei Guogong himself might have to risk his life, because the emperor might ask him to settle accounts afterwards. This kind of thing can be promised in private, but not in front of tens of thousands of people...

You are so audacious that you even dare to give away the emperor's territory.

But only possible.

It is also possible that he will not settle accounts with him because he kept Shanxi.

Not sure anyway.

But if you don't swear, there is no hope, and you will definitely die, and the family is hard to say. After all, if you can't beat Shanxi, you have to bear the responsibility.

It can be said that Yang Feng was just waiting for him not to swear.

As long as he doesn't swear, he will directly anger these troublemakers. At that time, even those who have a little affection for Daming will join the ranks of anti-Da Ming because of his treachery. They were all angry and realized their rebellious ambitions.

and so……

"Xu is willing to swear."

He almost gritted his teeth and said.

"Please!"

Yang Feng immediately made a gesture of invitation.

Xu Huizu looked around, looking at these traitors...

What a traitor!
Princess Jin must know that she is only cooperating with Yang Feng to pit herself. After all, she and Yang Feng obviously colluded. Yang Feng rebelled and won Shanxi, and her happy life is indispensable.Some of those officials must know that Lai Gong has been colluding deeply with Yang Feng. At least some of the northern officials must have Yang Feng's internal support.And those troublemakers who took the lead must have been arranged by Yang Feng. They just picked the leader on purpose to make matters worse. He even suspected that Wei Shan was not clean. Tendency to surrender.

He deliberately stimulated the emotions of the troublemakers first.

Not a single good thing!
"Wei Guogong?"

Yang Feng said.

"So, Xu Huizu, Duke of the State of Wei, Xu Huizu, the Zuo Dudu of the Commander's Mansion of the Central Army of the Ming Dynasty, hereby swear to heaven that if the people of Shanxi choose to return to the Song Dynasty, they shall lead their troops to withdraw from Shanxi. If they violate this oath, they shall die by the sword."

Xu Huizu continued to speak.

No matter what happens to him in the future, let's get past this level first.

Poor Wei Guogong was still led by the nose by Yang Feng after all.
