Crown Tang emperor

Wu Youyi rode his horse and walked a few steps. When he realized that the people behind him did not follow, he shook the whip in his hand and continued to snort coldly, his tone already very bad.

As soon as Wu Youyi finished speaking, the soldiers in the rear had already dispersed, vaguely surrounding the crowd.

Seeing this posture, everyone was even more frightened, they could only bow their heads and move towards the military tent step by step.

After entering the military tent, Wu Youyi sat upright without hesitation, and on his case was the information about the millstones set up by the waters outside the city of Xijing that Li Zhan had just sent.

Wu Youyi knew that His Royal Highness King Yong wanted him to squeeze as much money, food and materials from these people as possible, and this was his specialty, so he already had a preliminary plan in mind.

The dozen or so companies in front of me do not belong to the core group of Guan Long's nobles, so the information on Wu Youyi's desk is actually not very relevant to them.After all, being able to intercept and grind water in Xijing City and store water power privately is a manifestation of power in itself.There are not many of these people who are qualified to get involved in this field.

But it doesn't mean that these people have less fat and water, on the contrary, they have more private savings.After all, if a person is in a prominent position in the current situation, there will be many people staring at him, so it is not easy to gather private goods unscrupulously.

These families in front of them are basically no longer in power, but there are still some remnants of their ancestors, or they are not qualified to participate in the competition for the general situation of the dynasty. Instead, they have more time and energy to manage in the countryside.Ordinary wealthy families and common people in the countryside will not be their opponents.

When staying in Xijing before, Wu Youyi also liked to attack these people the most.One is that the buns have meat not on the folds, and all of them are very fat, and the other is that even if there is any trouble, these people will hardly make any noise directly in the court, so as not to make things worse.

According to the popular saying, these people belong to the old nobles and are directly implicated in the situation of court affairs, at least going back decades.It is precisely because of this that they were able to escape His Majesty's suppression of the Guanlong sect, and they were able to live their lives in Xijing with peace of mind.

Wu Youyi knew that the handling of the affairs of the North Dao army was not good, and His Royal Highness King Yong was quite dissatisfied.It is rare that His Highness is willing to give him a chance to bring him to Xijing to put an end to the chaos. If he still stays in Shendu City, he will inevitably be ripped apart by Li Zhaode and other ruthless people.

Therefore, he has to show enough value in order to continue to receive the protection of His Royal Highness King Yong.He knew that he knew nothing about military and political affairs, and if he wanted to show his own value, he still had to start with these Xijing people and do the old business he had done in Xijing City earlier.

"Shocking, really shocking!"

Thinking about it, Wu Youyi was holding the stack of books, while the other hand was slapping the table angrily, staring at the old man with an excited expression: "Tell me, don't you feel any guilt or fear in your heart for doing such evil things!"

Having dealt with many people, Wu Youyi has a deep understanding of this kind of people. They are obsessed with the scenery of their ancestors and have a sense of arrogance in their hearts. At the same time, they are greedy for profits and unwilling to give up.So if you want to engage these guys, you have to turn the trivial matter into a big one, let them be terrified first, and then it's time to negotiate conditions.

Just relying on all the incidents, there is not much direct connection with these people, so Wu Youyi is not in a hurry to show his cards, and intends to link this matter with the turmoil in Xijing City first, and then gradually expand the scope of attack .If you don't dig out more than half of the family assets of these people, it really won't show his ability.

But as soon as Wu Youyi finished speaking, everyone present was already trembling with fright, and several people even lay down on the table directly.

Seeing this scene, Wu Youyi was also a little surprised for a moment, not knowing whether it was because he hadn't seen him for a long time, his intimidation skills were higher, or these people's ability to bear suddenly decreased.I haven't played it seriously yet, and these people have turned into a mess of fright.

But no matter what the reason is, there is nothing wrong with chasing after the situation. Wu Youyi once again shouted angrily: "Since you all know that the crime is serious, then..."

"Dog thief, dog thief! Is that you?"

Before Wu Youyi could finish speaking, someone in the banquet jumped up and rushed towards the terrified Yin Gong, and after throwing him to the ground, he even straddled Yin Gong, and swung his old fist violently: "The dog thief is so cruel!" You want to kill my century-old family business, and protect your family!"

"I, I didn't..."

At this moment, the Yin Gong was also frightened and aphasic, while parrying the man's angry fist, he struggled to get up.However, just as his head was raised, he suddenly felt a sharp pain on the side of his neck!

The old man surnamed Li Yanggong took off the small knife at his waist and directly pierced it into Yingong's neck. He pressed his ear and cried out sadly: "Old people can't revitalize the family business, but they can have the courage to kill the local thieves! It's a big crime!" Everyone is famous, since they are going to die, then all of them will die, how can you allow your country thieves to live!"

"Come on, come on! These people are crazy, all crazy... Kill me, kill them!"

Blood flashed in the tent, and Wu Youyi panicked for a moment when he saw that someone was killed, and hurriedly pushed the case back.He didn't understand it, he just wanted to extort some money and things, and setting up a wrench for himself was really not a serious crime, why did these people react so violently?

However, Wu Youyi personally killed Xue Huaiyi in the Daibei Dao camp before, and since then he has been afraid of the military tent, so in the military tent, there is never lack of personal protection around him.

So when these people violently killed them, the sergeants standing around in the tent also reacted immediately, first drew out their sabers and chopped down a few of the most violent ones, and then restrained the remaining few.

"Although we have committed a serious crime, we will not die... If our family members hadn't guarded the official treasury in the city, they would have been looted by the rioters! His Royal Highness King Yong went to the city to ask for military use, but it was really difficult to collect exports in a hurry, so he had to borrow officials The storehouse, but I dare not keep everything... This time I came to the camp to worship, and it was originally to present the remaining goods... I beg the king and Lord Pingyang not to listen to the evil words of the old villain of the Yin family..."

The rest of them were subdued to the ground, and while struggling, they screamed and begged loudly.

"You, you stole the official treasury..."

Hearing this, Wu Youyi was a little dumbfounded for a while, but after a while, she realized that she was still in the posture of turning over and leaning backwards, which was really indecent, so she stood up quickly, patted the dust on her body, and ordered: : "Leave these thieves alive for the time being! Send someone to inform His Royal Highness King Yong of the incident here!"

He really didn't expect that he would cheat out such a secret by playing tricks on himself.The scale of riots in Xijing is not small, and the robbery of the official treasury is not a strange thing, but it is not those rioters who looted the official treasury, but these old noble families in front of us, which is really shocking!

But no matter what, this incident obviously went beyond Wu Youyi's job of blackmailing people in Xijing, so he didn't dare to neglect, and quickly asked someone to inform His Royal Highness King Yong outside the camp about this matter.

After those people noticed Wu Youyi's reaction, they were a little dumbfounded for a while. Could it be that they were wrong? Could it be that what Wu Youyi said was not the same as what they were terrified of?Could it be that besides stealing the official treasury, they have caused other catastrophes unknowingly?

Wu Youyi walked into the account without blushing, and picked up the books he threw out in a panic just now. When he saw the suspicious eyes of those people, he suddenly sighed: "Look at the trouble, I Originally, I just wanted to ask you about the interception and private establishment of the tunnel."

Hearing this, those people trembled with anger, and glared at Wu Youyi: "Youyi is a dog thief, what a serious crime it is to set up a private kiln! If you are asking for goods, why don't you just say it..."

Chapter 0534 organizes our military administration, the sword is not forgiving

Li Tong went around the city for a while, and when he arrived at Yanping Gate in the west of the city, he secretly gave instructions to the accompanying team.

Soon after, the rhythm of the drums outside the Yanping Gate to drive the rioters out suddenly changed.At the same time, the sparse crowd at the city gate suddenly increased, and soon became a long queue.

This is naturally the step he agreed with the Old Clothes Club in the city. The reason why he didn't do it right away is that the atmosphere still needs to be created, and the other is what he told Guo Da and others, hoping to select some who can Those who are the first to go out of the city hope to find a group of usable talents among them.

The subsequent relief and resettlement also need to make certain differentiated arrangements.If everyone is treated equally, people will not be in awe.Moreover, the materials from the Kanto also need to be gradually transported into the pass, and the extraction of the nobles from Xijing also needs to be carried out in a rhythmic manner.

With the members of the old clothing community at Yanping Gate setting an example, the effect is immediate.After all, it is inevitable for people to follow the herd mentality. When most people make this choice, I follow. Even if I can't get a good result, it will definitely not be too bad.

Seeing that there were more and more people leaving the city, and some of the camps had already been filled, Song Jing, who followed His Royal Highness King Yong to inspect the gates of the cities, was also smiling, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Please forgive me for not being able to stay with you for a long time. thing!"

"Go ahead, don't worry about it!"

Seeing that the young man is full of energy, Li Tong is also in a very good mood.If talents can be digitized, Song Jing is now a talent in the first echelon under his command. It is rare that this young man's thinking is quite in sync with his own. Of course, he is also happy to see Song Jing can grow up quickly and become a real prime minister.

After dismissing Song Jing, Li Tong raised his hand and pointed to Li Yi who was behind him, and said, "It's better to practice it than to be familiar with thousands of words. You will also go with Song Canjun."

After Li Yi heard the words, his expression was bitter. He still felt that following His Highness to inspect the camp was more majestic, but he also knew that His Highness King Yong was cultivating him, so he didn't dare to object, so he could only ride his horse to catch up with Song Jing.

Looking at Li Yi's leaving back, a slight smile appeared on the corner of Li Tong's mouth.In Shendu City, his fourth uncle and her aunt were trying their best to bring their Li Tang clan, who had been silent for a long time, back into the current situation, in order to strengthen their influence.

However, among the recent generations of clans, he has already acquired the most reliable one, although he is still only a half-year-old at the moment, so it is not very useful.But as long as he grows up, he is far better than those blandishments, at least he is a handsome talent who can be used in many ways.

The recruitment of surrender at each city gate was proceeding in an orderly manner, and after Li Tong inspected for a while, he went to Bashang Daying with satisfaction.The turmoil in Xijing was not a serious problem because the people lacked organization.These honorable families in Xijing are the focus of his next efforts.

When they were at least near Mausoleum, the sergeants who stayed at the Bashang camp came galloping forward and quickly reported what happened in the camp.

"There is such a thing?"

After listening to the sergeant's report, Li Tong was slightly astonished at first, and then sneered after a while: "These poor people are afraid that their death will not be happy enough!"

Saying this in his mouth, he raised his hand and called Li Ge, who was also in the personal guard team, and ordered in a low voice: "Order the brave fighters to gather in the west of Beijing temporarily, and wait for the later order."

After Li Ge heard the words, he took the order and left.

The reason for secretly gathering brave fighters is also to be prepared.At this moment, there are only more than [-] Wang Shi's army assembled outside Chang'an City. After guarding the various city gates and the riot camps outside the city, there are not many mobile forces in Li Tong's hands.

Although there are still some defenders between the two major eunuchs in the city, it doesn't take much to know that this army is permanently stationed in Xijing, and must have been heavily infiltrated by the noble families of Xijing, so Li Tong doesn't plan to use it for the time being.

Even for the people from all walks of life in the pass, he only mobilized the people from the three states, and the rest ordered them to keep their own territory and not to go out without authorization.One is to prevent the turmoil from continuing to expand to states outside Beijing, and the other is not to want the people gathered near Chang'an to be too complicated.

So right now, if all the families in Xijing can concentrate and riot, it's really hard to say whether Li Tong's current strength can be fully suppressed.But he didn't underestimate these families in Xijing. If they could be fully integrated, they wouldn't be so close to being craped by his grandma Wu Zetian in Wu Zhou Dynasty.

Gathering brave fighters is mainly to be prepared.And since most of the people gathered in the west of the city are members of the old clothing society, the military forces stationed in the west of the city can be mobilized.

"Order Master Cao Ren to lead [-] riders into the city from the Jinguangmen Gate, and patrol the city. Anyone who has a private collection in the square will be killed!"

After giving the order again, Li Tong rode his horse straight to the Bashang camp, and entered the camp not long after.Not long after entering the camp, Wu Youyi rushed up from the opposite side, laughing loudly as he walked, "I tell Your Highness, those thieves have all confessed, and they are so daring, how dare..."

Seeing Wu Youyi showing off his great achievements, Li Tong raised his hand to stop him from continuing, got off his horse and entered the account, a bloody smell rushed to his face.

He raised his hand and slapped his nose. In a blink of an eye, he saw those people who were tightly bound in the corner of the tent, his eyes flickered, and he turned to look at Wu Youyi and said in a deep voice, "The things here have not been leaked, have they?" ?”

"No, absolutely not! As soon as I got the news, I immediately asked someone to notify His Highness, and after the interrogation, no one else was allowed to peep."

Wu Youyi hurriedly said after hearing the words, although he can't deal with such a big deal, he still has a bit of wisdom in his hands when dealing with these Xijing nobles. Knowing that these people can actually do that kind of thing in the turbulent Xijing City, naturally there is a reason for that. Once the news is leaked to the city, there will inevitably be some turmoil.

"well done!"

Li Tong nodded after hearing this, and then ordered: "Transport a batch of bows, crossbows and arrows to Yanxing Gate. After the vehicles are vacated, immediately enter the workshop and carry out the forbidden items. Don't do more for the rest. That's right." , Ask clearly if they have any secret agreement with the relatives in the city before they leave the city?"

After hearing this, Wu Youyi's expression froze, obviously he didn't ask this question, so he walked quickly to the corner, raised his leg and kicked one of them and said angrily, "His Highness asked, did you hear me?"

While speaking, he signaled the sergeant to untie the cloth strips that bound his tongue.

After regaining the ability to speak, the man knocked his head on the ground repeatedly, and screamed: "We did not intend to commit a crime, because His Royal Highness King Yong ordered..."

"Whatever your Highness asks, you can answer! Don't talk nonsense!"

Wu Youyi kicked the man down, and said to Li Tong with a flattering smile: "I have experience in dealing with these thieves, and I have experience in dealing with these thieves. If your highness is short-tempered, I will definitely reveal the secrets."

"You dog thief! Don't even think about using the flesh and blood of my countrymen as the capital of your life!"

After the man was kicked to the ground, he was filled with shame and anger for a while. After scolding Wu Youyi, he looked at Li Tong again: "Is your Highness completely irresponsible for the crimes we committed? Chang'an is my ancestral land, who can endure it?" This harm? Knowing that His Highness is asking for nothing, but in order to allow the army to arrive as soon as possible..."

Damn, are you thieves or am I forcing you?

When Li Tong heard this reason, he was immediately happy, and raised his hand to signal: "There is no need for another trial. Anyone who dares to resist from the involved families will be killed directly!"

After finishing speaking, he retreated from the tent, and soon the man roared from behind: "I say, I say! I just ask His Highness to be kind and forgive me, so that I can leave a trace of blood to pass on..."

After a while, Wu Youyi came out from the tent, clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, we have all recruited, but we don't know the authenticity. In fact, there are few people hidden in these families in the capital, and there are many gardens in the suburbs, so they are the big heads." !"

"Search their family members, and there will be Lord Lao Pingyang."

Seeing Wu Youyi nodding with a smile on his face, Li Tong smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'm new to a major task, and I only want to be considerate, tough and unreasonable. Mr. Pingyang, you have merit, so don't try punishment lightly." !"

After Wu Youyi heard the words, she hurriedly knelt down and clasped her fists, saying: "Being educated in a humble position, I will never dare to live up to His Highness's trust!"

Li Tong nodded after hearing this, and summoned Li Zhan again, and continued to order: "Enter the city in the afternoon, summon the officials of the two counties, and separately tell all the Lords in the city to come out of the city early tomorrow morning to see them, and they will not pass the time." waiting!"

Then Li Tong returned to the camp of the Chinese army, holding the confession presented by Wu Youyi, the more he looked at it, the more happy his face became, but at the same time he couldn't help sighing: "Being greedy is not enough, it's killing your life!"

This incident was a surprise for him.He also didn't expect that these people in Xijing were so greedy and stingy with money and goods that they became lawless.

Guan Long Xungui is actually a huge concept, and it has been developed for more than a hundred years, and its penetration has been very deep.Even his grandma Wu Zetian suppressed him for decades, but still failed to completely wipe out Guan Longxungui.

Li Tong also didn't want to completely wipe out Guan Long Xungui, so his plan was also gradual.The families that Li Zhan was asked to visit before basically belonged to the Guanlong Moliu, with low status but rich village resources.

It is natural to do things from the shallower to the deeper.After all, he will develop in Xijing for a long time in the future, Guanzhong has not yet gained a firm foothold here, and the court of the gods will quarrel because of his behavior, it is inevitable that he will lose sight of the other.

But I didn't expect that even these Guan Long Moliu would dare to play these tricks with him, and I really don't know how to write dead words.

He was worrying that he didn't have a suitable reason to kill, so these people took the initiative to send them a handle, just to establish their own rules by the way.Even if the methods are more radical, it is difficult for the court to say no.

Time soon came to the next day, when dawn broke in the east, the Bashang camp became lively again.Most of the rioters had already left the city and entered the camp yesterday. In addition to defending the camps, some troops distributed in the outskirts of the city were also transferred back to the camp, making the camp no longer as empty as yesterday.

Li Tong ate some breakfast casually, and then gathered in the big tent of the Chinese army to discuss matters.The riots in the city have basically been resolved, so most of the magistrates from the Liushou Mansion and the two counties also joined the camp as counselors.

After the generals reported the basic military situation, Li Tong pointed to Wei Suyue of Wannian County and asked, "Have you done what you ordered yesterday?"

Su Yue got up quickly and said: "Three thousand and nine hundred people were registered by the lords of Xijing, and this was recorded in the old year of Yongchang. Among the three people who lived in the city for 900 people, 860 people were confirmed to be the messengers, and 760 people entered the camp in the early morning. six people……"

This number sounds like a lot, but the Great Tang Awards have long been flooded, and most of them must be honored.From this point of view, the number is actually not many, but it reflects the fact that the Guanzhong government soldiers collapsed.

After all, it is too easy to get a honor after participating in several battles.Like in the old days of Yongchang, Wu Chengsi frequently organized tens of thousands of people to petition in order to persuade them to advance, and these people were often rewarded.So gradually, the government didn't bother to record these orders anymore, it was really not enough waste paper.

However, Xijing has not been used as a political center for many years, so there have not been many awards in recent years.Li Tong took the list and looked it over, and found that among the 500 people who entered the camp, more than 400 were honored, and the remaining 100 were all honored.The remaining more than 100 people are the real upper class figures in Chang'an City.

Of course, these noble titles do not necessarily mean the corresponding number of families. After all, some families have multiple nobles, and no one makes them have a solid foundation.

Even if Wu Zetian suppressed Guan Long, it was concentrated on a certain level. As long as she didn't provoke her or was not qualified to provoke her, she also had a magnanimous side. There was no need to force a family to the opposite of her for a mere title.Therefore, the retention of the titles of these Guanlong families is quite considerable.

"Since we've arrived, let's call into the camp."

Li Tong casually threw the list aside, and then said again.

Not long after, led by the sergeant, a group of nobles from Guan Long filed in.Although the large tent of the Chinese army is quite large, there are many generals present, surrounded by soldiers on the left and right, and hundreds of people poured in, which still makes the space a little cramped.

The overcrowded space couldn't accommodate everyone taking turns to pay respects, so everyone just bowed together.

Li Tongduan looked at the people present expressionlessly after sitting in the handsome case. After they finished the ceremony, he didn't intend to let them take their seats, and there were no seats prepared in the tent at all.

"I have met you all again, or met for the first time, but it is not a good time to talk about love. I have summoned you in the camp today. I think you are full of doubts, right?"

Hearing King Yong's words, the people present couldn't help whispering.Not only doubts, but shame and anger!They also admitted that King Yong is in a difficult situation now, but they should be at least polite to them in Xijing, right?

Like the few old men standing in the front, they are all old ministers who have gone through several dynasties. There are many old ministers of Emperor Gaozong.Now that he was summoned by a decree of King Yong, and now there is no tea and rice, and even the basic seating is not set up, who can feel comfortable?

In fact, some of them did not want to come.But after the rioters left the city yesterday, Master Wang suddenly rushed into the workshop and directly arrested more than a dozen families. It is said that even young children were not spared, which is really too shocking.

As soon as King Yong's words fell, an old man in front of him said in a concentrated voice: "Your Highness, you are serious. Your Highness's Dian army entered the pass to stop the turmoil, and also led the people to rule the people. The ministers and others are all in charge of the people. The people who teach orders will be fulfilled, and life and death will be obeyed. How dare you not!"

Li Tong naturally heard the ridicule in the old man's words, raised his hand and asked, "Who is this?"

"His Royal Highness, this is Duan Shaoqing, Duke of Beiping County. Shaoqing's eldest son has been tabooed to prolong the life, and he was ordered by the same team as the humble one."

Qi Biming, who was sitting on the side seat, said after hearing the words.

It's impolite to directly discuss his family background in front of others, but Li Tong really doesn't know this old man, and he can't remember all of them.However, hearing that the old man's son was named Duan Yanshi touched his knowledge point. That Duan Yanshi was one of the generals who went to Shendu to serve as the general of Nanya on behalf of the Beidao army.

No wonder the old man dared to speak first, it turned out that there were people in the court.

"This Duke of Beiping, although his words are simple, his meaning is deep. Teaching orders is fulfilled, and life and death are obeyed. Do you deserve my private orders? After all, it is the emperor's order. Before leaving the capital, His Highness the Emperor's Royal Highness gave me the axe. Kansai pays me, lest it will be difficult to take on a big responsibility, so after entering the country, I just act cautiously."

While speaking, Li Tong stood up from the table, but he did not pay the bill, but put his foot on the table, holding his sword in one hand and looked at the audience coldly: "But there are some people who deceive me, benevolent, and disrupt my rules. Lighten my magic sword! Life and death are submissive, if it ends with words, my army is mighty, is it just for the loyalty of you and other tongues!"

"Your Highness, be careful! Although we and the people of Xijing were trapped in chaos, we did not dare to lose our guard in the slightest. It is by no means empty words! This life is not for nothing, or it cannot be used for a while, but the emperor Fate is a sign, and everything is obeyed!"

Of course, there are many people present who are experienced and experienced. Although they are in the big tent and King Yong's posture is aggressive, they are not intimidated by this and lose their response. As soon as King Yong finished speaking, someone retorted. .
