Chapter 189 The Abnormal King Zheng

"Common people? The common people want peace, and it is the common people who will suffer from the changes in the world!" Zheng Xiang had a serious face, and his heart was full of the people who had suffered so much.

Ye Yan's eyes full of deep meaning are pressing on Zheng Xiang, why can't this dead-headed man turn the corner?The people were born in a bad era, even if there was no war, they would still be exploited.

A calculation came up in his head, Ye Yan hesitated to speak, and made the calculation at a fast speed. After a few seconds, he said confidently: "In this way, I will not lose to your people, and I will be exempted from three-year Taxes will not increase from the fourth year on.”

Zheng Xiang looked at Ye Yan's relaxed words, how dare the current monarch say such words?It would be nice to keep the intensified exploitation, but he dared to promise this. If he really did, it would be a boon for the people.

"If you dare to sign a contract with me, I will agree. I will be the prime minister and be in charge of the country's affairs. It belongs to you. If you can't do what you promised, don't blame me for setting up my own business." Zheng Xiang said sonorously, but there was no water in his words. His identity should also be a test for Ye Yan.

The two signed the contract, discussed the countermeasures for the next day, watched Zheng Xiang leaving from afar, and Ye Yan let go of his worries.

The next day, Zheng Xiang and Ye Yan staged a scene of annihilation of the entire army. This seemingly empty city allowed everyone to walk in without leaving. The vigorous battle ended, and under the leadership of Zheng Xiang, the people inside were replaced by Clothes, and went to Ye Yan's command.

Annexing the city step by step, with a burst of energy, and with the help of Zheng Xiang, the people retreated safely, and also distributed compensation, Ye Yan easily won the hearts of the people.

"Zheng Xiang, after this is done, what plan do you have?" Chi Zhan discussed secretly with Zheng Xiang in the big tent, and Zheng Xiangneng's agreement was entirely out of protecting the soldiers and the people.

Zheng Xiang sighed, picked up the wine in the bowl, and drank it in one sip. He worked hard all his life, he was loyal, and never thought of rebelling, but now it seems that what Ye Yan did was to protect the overall situation.

He patted Chi Zhan on the shoulder with emotion: "When the soldiers come, we will cover up the water and the earth! Let's protect the people here and prevent them from losing their lives. Who cares who will be the king? Living and working in peace and contentment is better than anything else! If Ye Yan dares to bully My people, we are not easy to mess with!"

The two were driven to a dead end, and there was no other way to choose except rebellion, and now it was just an expedient measure to protect the people and soldiers.

But Dazhu's side is not so relaxed. Being locked up in this mysterious place, since he has been here for a day and a night, apart from finding a string of burning oil lamps, how can there be anything else?
Qi Benge was groping around, seeing Da Zhu's cautious look, his hands moved a little slower.

"There is an oil lamp in this place, which means it is in circulation. Otherwise, not only the lamp would go out, but we would all be suffocated." The sweat oozing from the big stigma was particularly conspicuous under the haste of the oil lamp.

Suddenly, one of the oil lamps was touched by Dazhu and moved. Dazhu hurriedly hugged it and rotated it. The stone wall next to it slowly cracked a hole, and the inside was magnificent. Dazhu and the other two people hurriedly walked inside, and they had just entered. , the stone wall returned to its original state, and even if you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to notice a single crack.

Just leaving the Longtan and entering the tiger's lair, a lot of time has passed, although there are countless gold and silver treasures here, but the water bladder is already in emergency, living in the desert, the confined space and weather, the three of them are almost boiled.

Ye Yan was wearing coarse linen clothes and inspecting the farmland. The local people were poor and the crops were growing very well in the farmland, but he saw hungry, skinny women working, and even babies who were just over one year old were allowed to starve. wailing.

Unable to see it, Ye Yan knelt down and took dry food from his arms, and gave it to the child to chew on.

The little baby teeth were grinding on the pancakes. Seeing this, the woman hurried over to thank her. After being interrogated several times, the woman sighed: "You don't know, the government has arrested all the men within a hundred miles to fill them up There is a war, and my family has no food. I also want to feed my children, but the crops are not enough to pay taxes..."

"You take these dry food, the baby is still young." Ye Yan put down the food, and walked into the distance without looking back.

Along the way, my head was full of women's words, and when I returned to the barracks, I saw Zheng Xiang distributing dry food to the soldiers.

"Everyone listen to me, when the city is brought down, we will help the people to cultivate land. Everyone has a family and children. I, Ye Yan, promise that when peace comes, we will all be dismissed and return to the fields! Enjoy family happiness, with me here , no famine is allowed!" Ye Yan's impassioned speech gave the soldiers who hadn't eaten their meals an instant boost of motivation.

They are all old and young, and they all want to live peacefully. How have they ever thought about this kind of life where the tip of a knife licks blood?
"I thank you for them." Hearing this, Xiang Zheng felt a little more at ease, and secretly went to meet the generals in the city overnight. Here, he still has some prestige.

With the help of Zheng Xiang from the bottom of his heart, Ye Yan and his party attacked the capital in just three days. The city gate was wide open, and a group of people had already been waiting in front of the city gate. The leader was King Zheng, sitting on the Zijin Throne, He put on the nine-claw embroidered cloud dragon robe that he hadn't worn for many years, and placed the Jade Seal of Chuanguo beside him.

"Your Majesty King Ye is here, and you are welcome!" King Zheng got up and bowed.

There was no excitement in the hearts of the people, but they were all surprised and uncertain.

"What does King Zheng intend to do with this gesture?" Ye Yan asked stepping forward.

"Easy to the throne! After so many years, I'm already tired. I ask Mr. Ye to attack those small countries in the west with all his strength. The little king will not cause trouble for King Ye. If he survives, King Ye will reward him with a room and spend the rest of his life in peace." Yes." King Zheng stepped down from the purple-gold throne, took off the purple-gold crown, took off the dragon robe, and handed the Chuanguo Yuxi to the eunuch beside him.

"Pass down the king's will! There is great chaos today, and this king is powerless to protect him. It is not because this king is disrespectful to his ancestors, but because the ancestors have wronged this king. From now on, Zheng Guo will be destroyed! Incorporate into Nanli, and change the world to Ye!"

Ye Yan did not expect such an ending, and shook his head helplessly: "King Zheng, the people from the Holy Land have left?"

"I have already left. My ancestors have a legacy. The king of the world will come out. If you step aside, you can protect the people. I am powerless to protect the people. I hope the king can protect the people."

Ye Yan took over the imperial seal, ordered the army to occupy the capital, and divided the army to garrison the exit of the holy land. Before attacking the holy land and getting the soul back, he could only garrison first.

Zheng Xiang stood beside Ye Yan and asked, "What's next?"

"Distribute the food from the national treasury to everyone. To implement it to every household, the soldiers will go home to do farm work first. I hope that one day when we are needed, we can fight against foreign enemies together." Ye Yanyun said to the generals calmly. , Words must be faithful and deeds must be resolute, and his actions have made everyone awe-inspiring.

Everyone received their rations and set foot on the way home. Zheng Xiang set up a table of wine and food, and sat down with several generals frankly, while Ye Yan sat in the center, discussing countermeasures with everyone.

Zheng's trust in Ye Yan has increased several times, and he has been relieved of Ye Yan's behavior after getting along for half a month.

"Zheng Xiang, I will leave this to you. If you need to send a letter in time, I will help you immediately. Also, three years of tax exemption, as promised." Ye Yan decided to set off. There are still many things to do, so it is not suitable to stay for a long time. .

Chi Zhan accompanied Zheng Xiang from the top of the city tower and watched Ye Yan and the others set off overnight. He had mixed feelings in his heart. The world had changed drastically. They knew some secret things. Not only did they not relax, but their burdens became heavier and their power increased. In just a few days, the changes have taken him by surprise. The only thing that is right is that they took refuge in Ye Yan.

"Notice, tax exemption for three years! People's good days are coming! And some officials are recruited, and those who are capable can come to unveil the list." Zheng Xiang said confidently to Chi Zhan beside him, and the two wrote in a good mood Notice.
