When you wake up, you are given marriage to your nemesis

On the second day after Yuexiu wrote the letter, in Minzhou thousands of miles away, the refugees who had been unable to be appeased finally couldn't hold back.

They caught the master of Fuqu County earlier that day, and under interrogation, they learned that there was indeed news that the imperial court had allocated funds early last year, but the money for the dam repair had never been sent to their county government.The master swore that he had asked people in several neighboring counties, and everyone said they hadn't seen the money.

The imperial court allocated funds, but the county government did not see the money. Where did the money go?

Just when everyone was wondering, a thin young man suddenly stood up and shouted: "The governor must have been greedy for the money! I was chopping firewood in the mountains last March, and I met a group of yamen servants resting on the side of the road. They picked more than a dozen large boxes. I overheard them saying that these are birthday outlines sent to the capital to celebrate Grand Master Chen's birthday!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone discussed it one after another.

"We in Minzhou are poor, where can we get so much money to celebrate birthdays?"

"That's right, there are more than a dozen large boxes!"

The imperial court allocated funds at the beginning of the year, and the birthday plan was transported away in March. It is very likely that the governor of Minzhou embezzled the imperial court's money for building dams to honor Grand Master Chen.

The more you think about it, the more you feel that this must be the case.One of the leaders of this group of refugees was Zhong Xin. His father was a squire in Fuqu County. He was bold and loyal and had a high reputation among the people in this area.In this flood, his father led his family members to cooperate with the officers and soldiers to rescue and rescue. He rushed to the front line and saved many villagers, but he himself was not spared.

Everyone was grateful for Zhong Xin's father's kindness, and unanimously elected Zhong Xin to be their leader.

Zhong Xin's personality is very similar to his father's, and he is quite chivalrous. It is because of his leadership that the group of victims managed to survive for more than a month and built a temporary shelter on the mountain.It's just that there are fewer and fewer edible things in the mountains now, and the above has not distributed the relief food for a long time. He suspects that the governor of Minzhou did not report this matter at all.

But now the master's words confirmed his conjecture.The governor of Minzhou misappropriated the silver that was originally used to build the embankment, because he was afraid that the imperial court would send people to check after the disaster information was uploaded.

"In this way, the government has no hope." Zhong Xin gathered everyone together and said, "The governor first took money for building dams and caused the tragic death of our relatives, and now he conceals the disaster and doesn't care about our lives. This matter We can’t let it go like this! We must kill that dog official to seek justice for our dead relatives!”

"Kill the dog officer! Seek justice! Kill the dog officer! Seek justice!"

The victims were filled with righteous indignation and shouted slogans following Zhong Xin's words.

Zhong Xin raised his hand and pressed the button, and the victims fell silent.

"Everyone pick up some clean clothes and come out. Let's pick a few brothers with good skills to sneak into Qianyang City today and tomorrow to be internal agents. Let's do it tomorrow night!"

Bandits are rampant in Mindi, especially in some villages far away from towns. The government alone is too late to deal with bandits who attack suddenly. Villagers often need to organize militia groups spontaneously.The people in these militia groups are basically veterans with strong bodies and rich combat experience. They are no worse than the regular army of the government in fighting.

Zhong Xin made arrangements for the people, and everyone acted together at night the next day.

People in Mindi fight regardless of gender, age or age. Many women are tougher than men. Even dolls who can't walk are wrapped in cloth by their parents, wrapped around their chests, and brought with them to fight against the enemy.

This is a habit developed from fighting bandits for a long time.The bandits in Mindi are quite cunning, and they often split into two groups, one to engage the militia in front, and the other to go around and steal homes.The militia is short of manpower, and there is no other way to protect everyone except to gather everyone together and participate in combat.

Those who could not be beaten died, and those who remained were fierce and brave.Zhong Xin led such a group of people to the outside of Qianyang City under the cover of night.

He drew his bow fully, and a flaming arrow flew high and pierced the night sky.The soldiers on the tower sensed something was wrong and stretched their necks to check when someone wiped their necks from behind.

The people who had ambushed in the city in advance quietly boarded the city tower, dealt with the night guards neatly, and then opened the city gate.The people outside the city felt that they stood in two rows one by one, and quickly passed the city gate. Their discipline was so strong that it was hard for outsiders to imagine that this was a team composed of ordinary people.

After entering the city, the group went straight to the governor's mansion. On the way, they encountered soldiers who were watching the night. Some of them stayed behind to stop these officers and soldiers from calling for reinforcements. Governor's House.

In the Yu Dynasty, in order to prevent local officials from supporting their own troops, except for those prefectures where the prince is also in charge of the governor, the garrisons of the other prefectures are rotated every three years. In principle, soldiers recruited locally are not allowed to garrison the local area.The guards in Qianyang City, including the Governor's Mansion, were not locals, and coupled with the sudden attack in the middle of the night, they couldn't beat Zhong Xin's group for a while.

The gate of the governor's mansion was breached, and the mansion was full of screams from servants and maidservants and the governor's family members.Governor Liu Chengye hid under the rockery and shivered. There were people running around on the edge of the rockery, and he was almost spotted several times.

"Master, I have been looking for you everywhere, so you are here!"

Liu Chengye was startled by the sudden voice behind him, turned his head tremblingly, and recognized the person as a guard in his house named Wang Yuan.

"Oh, it's you, you scared me to death." Liu Chengye wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"I just took advantage of the chaos and hid two horses at the back door. You go first, and I will come after I find my wife and miss." Wang Yuan said and handed his dagger to Liu Chengye, "Take this well, if If you see thieves on the road, kill them!"

Liu Chengye was relieved when he heard that he could escape for his life, but he became nervous again when he heard Wang Yuan said that he should go by himself first.

What good is a dagger for this rascal all over the place!

"Don't go!" Liu Chengye hastily pulled Wang Yuan back.Wang Yuan looked back at him with some embarrassment and asked, "Why don't Master go back with me to find Madam?"

The lack of people here scared Liu Chengye enough, he had managed to hide here, how could it be possible to let him go back to the inner house full of unscrupulous people!

"Hey, what do you care about Madam at this time! You take me away first, and we will call reinforcements later to rescue them!" Seeing that Wang Yuan was still hesitant, Liu Chengye took out his master's airs and scolded: "Are you an officer or me?" Is it the officer? What else is there to think about at this juncture!"

Seeing that Liu Chengye was so persistent, Wang Yuan had no choice but to agree.He took Liu Chengye all the way around the people who were coming and going, and successfully rode away with Liu Chengye, leaving the burning governor's mansion behind.

As the sky was getting brighter, the angry victims finally won the scuffle.The governor's mansion was littered with corpses, and the surviving victims took out the corpses one by one and piled them together to burn them to prevent the plague from rotting.

"This man is so strange, why isn't he wearing a coat?" The person in charge of carrying the corpse said to his companion who was working with him.

"We rushed in in the middle of the night. It's not normal for people to sleep and don't have time to wear it." Another person said nonchalantly.

"That's right." The man stopped struggling and threw the corpse onto the pile of corpses.

Half a day later, when all the corpses were collected, Zhong Xin lit the fire himself.In the flames, the naked corpse had the exact same face as Wang Yuan who escorted Liu Chengye away last night.

……

The news that the disaster victims in Minzhou rushed into Qianyang City and captured the governor's mansion spread to the capital, and the ruling and opposition parties were greatly shaken.

In the morning, Luo Jinhe took the memorial and sent a lot of fire.

"What are these officials doing for food! It's been more than two months since the Cangjiang River broke its embankment, and I just got the report last night, so what are you doing?"

Needle dropping could be heard quietly in the hall, no one dared to answer.

Luo Jinhe walked back and forth angrily on the steps: "The imperial court just appropriated the money for the dam repair last year, but this year the Cangjiang River broke its embankment! Where did the money for the dam repair go? The newly built embankment can't be managed for a year. ?!"

"This... this may be because the disaster is too serious, even a dam can't prevent it..." An old minister tentatively replied.

"Since the disaster is so serious, why didn't you report it! Where is the governor of Minzhou? Where is he now?" Luo Jinhe asked the man kneeling in the hall. That man joined the army in Minzhou, and he was the one who heard the news that Qianyang City was destroyed last night. reported.

He ran for three days and three nights, but the bloody clothes on his body had not been changed.

"Returning to His Majesty, I really don't know. The rebel army entered the Governor's Mansion that night, and someone saw Governor Liu and a guard running away through the back door. After Qianyang City was broken, the people in many counties also rebelled. Now Minzhou is in chaos, many officials have been killed, even if Governor Liu escaped from Qianyang City, he may not be alive..."

"What rebels! Those are disaster victims!" Luo Jinhe gave these people a headache, "If you report it earlier and the court sends relief money and food earlier, will they rebel! And the governor of Minzhou, named Liu Chengye? The people and officers and soldiers in the next city escaped first?! He had better be dead, otherwise I will punish him for deceiving the emperor!"

"Your Majesty, it's too late to say these things now." Grand Master Chen stood up and said, "For the present plan, it's better to find a way to remedy it."

Luo Jinhe walked back and forth two more times, sat back on the dragon chair, calmed down, and then said again: "The Grand Master is right. Only the post of governor of Minzhou is vacant now, and I don't know how many other official positions are still vacant." It will take time for the imperial court to appoint new officials. Besides, the public opinion in Minzhou is now boiling, and there must be strong resistance to the new officials. I plan to send an imperial envoy to bring relief food first, and gradually appoint others after the people's emotions are appeased. official."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at the officials present and asked, "Who volunteered to go to the disaster relief?"

As soon as these words came out, most of the people present lowered their heads a little lower.Min area thieves are so fierce that they even dare to seize the governor's mansion. Wouldn't it be death to be this imperial envoy when they are most angry!

Luo Jinhe looked at Grand Master Chen: "Grand Master Chen? The late Emperor always trusted you the most, and so do I. How about entrusting you to solve this problem for me?"

Chen Taishi remained silent, and the old official who spoke for the Minzhou officials stood up again and said: "The Taishi is the pillar of our court, and he needs to stay in the capital. If anything happens, he can advise His Majesty."

Luo Jinhe sneered: "Then, does Quan Zhongshu want to share the worries of Grand Master Chen?"

Generally speaking, it is said to share the worries of the emperor, Luo Jin and this "share the worries for Grand Master Chen", the meaning of ridicule is already obvious.

The old Quan Zhongshu blushed, and mumbled: "The old minister is old and his legs and feet are inconvenient. Although a mere life is not a pity, it is the old minister's sin to delay His Majesty's errand. Let the young people do this... ..."

"Hmph!" Luo Jin turned to the next person in displeasure. That person was the new inspector of the right after Yushitai was divided into two, and he also got the official position by bribing Taishi Chen.

When he heard that he was asked to go to Minzhou for disaster relief, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

"It is your duty to inspect the states and counties. If you don't dare to do it, you are still the right inspector!" Luo Jinhe shouted, "Come here, take off his official hat, and order the censor Shi Quchang to replace Xu Shu as the right inspector , Immediately go to Minzhou for disaster relief, there must be no mistakes!"

After the dynasty was over, a group of officials went to Jing'an Palace where Empress Dowager Chen was located.

Xu Shu knelt on the ground crying and begged the Empress Dowager Chen to make the decision for him, and the rest of them also echoed. They were not sympathetic to Xu Shu, but mainly because Luo Jinhe's unusual strength in the court today made them feel threatened , always worried that the next person to be dismissed on the spot will be their turn.

"The Ai family understands what you mean." Empress Dowager Chen sat on the main seat, and said to everyone in a gentle voice: "Everyone go back first, don't worry about this matter, it will be dealt with after the Ai family discusses it with Grand Master Chen."

As soon as everyone left, Empress Dowager Chen immediately changed her face, pointed at Grand Master Chen and cursed: "Look who you are looking for? First it was that bastard Zheng Wei, and now there is a useless person like Xu Shu! Isn't it just to help someone?" Disaster, why don’t you dare to go? People want to survive, he goes to distribute food, and when he gets there, he throws food away, and people don’t have time to grab the food, so who cares about killing him!”

"Sister, calm down." Grand Master Chen said, "This happened too suddenly, everyone was unprepared. Besides, if Luo Fengxin hadn't taken charge of the imperial army, the emperor might not have dared to be so stubborn."

"What do you mean by that? Are you blaming me for not stopping the emperor that day?" Empress Dowager Chen sullenly said, "Could you stop it if it was you?"

The next day after that night, Empress Dowager Chen recruited her younger brother to discuss how to get back the position of Commander of the Imperial Army, but it is a pity that she has not come up with a solution until today.

Grand Master Chen kept silent, Empress Dowager Chen asked after feeling sullen, "Is there anything else you need?"

"The silver taels for building the embankment in Minzhou..."

As soon as Grand Master Chen started, he was interrupted angrily by Empress Dowager Chen.

"Don't you say that the money is also related to you?! How did I tell you? You can get money if you want, get what you can, don't make a lot of troubles and let me wipe your ass!"

Grand Master Chen said: "I was really wronged this time. Last year on my fiftieth birthday, many people gave presents, and so did the governor of Minzhou. At that time, I was thinking that such a poor place in Minzhou could have something good. I didn’t care. Last night when I heard that the Cangjiang River broke its embankment, I went to the warehouse again, only to find that what he sent was all the money allocated by the court last year! How could I have imagined that he would be so bold when I received the gift! "

Empress Dowager Chen almost made her younger brother faint with anger: "What about the silver? How is it now?"

"I've already had the silver melted. It's just..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that the governor of Minzhou ran away, and now his life and death are uncertain. I am worried that he will come to the capital to find me. There is also a letter in the things he sent, saying that he wants me to transfer him to another place as an official." .”

"Then why are you still standing there?" Empress Dowager Chen said angrily, "Hurry up and let someone look for you!"

"Yes, yes." Grand Master Chen said repeatedly.The current status of the Chen family is inseparable from the Queen Mother Chen's advice behind the scenes. Although the Grand Master Chen is now in a high position, he still dare not refute his elder sister.

He walked to the door, turned back again, and said hesitantly, "There is one more thing..."

"What else did you do?" Empress Dowager Chen looked surprised, she was afraid to hear that something was wrong now.

"Sister, don't get me wrong, it's not a bad thing." Grand Master Chen said, "Just in the past few days, King Zhengxi's son has come to see me several times, but I have been rejected by my servants..."

These kings with different surnames in the Yu Dynasty had sons who were officials in the capital. They said they were officials, but they were actually hostages, and the situation was usually a bit embarrassing.

"Well, well done." Hearing about this matter, Empress Dowager Chen finally calmed down a little, and told Grand Master Chen, "King Zhengxi will rebel sooner or later, so don't get involved."

Taishi Chen should come down, salute and leave.The Empress Dowager Chen thought for a while, then suddenly called him back: "Wait a minute, it's okay to meet up again. If he makes any request, you can play Tai Chi with him, don't agree, and don't refuse too hard, let's wait again Wait and see how the situation develops."

On the other side, in Qiankun Hall, Qiao Wan has been kneeling here since last night, and has been kneeling all night.

"Others have gone to court, you get up." Luo Fengxin said with a frown.

Luo Jinhe got the news from Minzhou last night, and after being startled and angry, he quickly realized that Qiao Wan probably knew about it a long time ago.

Now that Luo Fengxin is in charge of all the guards in the palace, Luo Jin and the eyeliners around him are much less.He called Qiao Wan into the palace overnight to question her. Qiao Wan knew that she couldn't hide it, so she had to tell him everything she knew.

"He's right. I'm no different from those corrupt officials who hide and don't report." Qiao Wan really felt guilty about this matter. She knew about the disaster in Minzhou long ago. In order to make the plan go smoothly, Like those people, she kept this matter a secret and did not tell Luo Jinhe about it.If the government's relief food is not available for one day, the victims in Minzhou will be in danger of starving to death for one more day.

"You... I even burned that wooden signboard of yours, why do you always take the blame on yourself." Luo Fengxin felt very uncomfortable seeing her like this.

She had heard about Qiao Wan when she was in the north, if Qiao Wan had been clean like Jin Yushi, Luo Jinhe would not be sitting on the throne now.She thought that Qiao Wan wouldn't get used to it at first, and she should become numb after a long time, just like she didn't get used to killing people on the battlefield at first, but if you don't kill the enemy, the enemy will kill you, so there is no choice if you take this path up.

However, it now seems that although Qiao Wan should be ruthless and not procrastinating when doing things, it is still difficult to get over this hurdle in her heart.

"Okay." Seeing that Qiao Wan was silent, Luo Fengxin bent down to help Qiao Wan, but Qiao Wan refused to get up, Luo Fengxin put on a straight face and looked impatient: "Do you want me to hug you?"

Qiao Wan still didn't speak, but Luo Fengxin couldn't pretend anymore when she saw her grievance.

It seems that it is useless, you can only do it.Luo Fengxin went to hug Qiao Wan, but Qiao Wan struggled non-stop. Luo Fengxin didn't dare to use too much strength for fear of hurting her, and was stepped on by Qiao Wan's clothes, and fell to the ground with Qiao Wan.

Luo Jinhe saw this scene when he entered the door. His sister was lying on top of him, and asked him nervously if it hurt.

"Cough!" Luo Jinhe cleared his throat.

Luo Fengxin didn't panic when her brother bumped into her, she pulled Qiao Wan to sit up, forced her to bury her face on her shoulder with one hand, and rubbed her back with one hand while not allowing her to see Luo Jinhe.

"You've been kneeling for a whole night. Is there no end to it? She is doing something for you. If it wasn't for helping you, why would she suffer this?"

Luo Jinhe had lost his temper at the top, and now his anger has dissipated. He said that Qiao Wan had been kneeling all the time. He was angry. He thought that with Luo Fengxin here, Qiao Wan would naturally get up when he left. Unexpectedly Qiao Wan is so brain-dead on this matter.

"Okay, okay, it's all my fault." Luo Jinhe waved his hand, thinking that the two hugging each other was an eyesore, "You're just like this before you get married, so go back and rest."

On the way back, Qiao Wan leaned against the carriage wall and glanced at Luo Fengxin.

Luo Fengxin was puzzled by her: "What are you doing?"

"Why don't you scold me today..." Qiao Wan's voice was small.

Luo Fengxin made Qiao Wan laugh angrily: "You still like to scold me, don't you? You don't feel comfortable if you don't scold me?"

"Of course not..."

Finally sitting on the blanket again, Qiao Wan put her hands behind her back and grabbed Maomao one after another, saying in a muffled voice, "But you would scold me if I confronted you before."

She let Luo Jinhe scold her head and face today, and what she said was exactly the pain point in her heart that she always wanted to ignore but couldn't ignore, and she was very depressed.When people are vulnerable, they are likely to be particularly prone to relying on emotions. For example, when she looks at Luo Fengxin now, she really wants to hug and please her.

The idea is horrible!

While Qiao Wan was holding Maomao to suppress her shock, she couldn't help but look at Luo Fengxin. It took a long time before she realized that the road the carriage was taking was not going in the direction of her house.

"I want to get out of the car!" Qiao Wan wanted to get up to pull the coachman, but she just tried a little harder, but the pain from her knee made her fall back down again.

Ahhh!She didn't want to continue to be alone with Luo Fengxin at this moment!

Luo Fengxin has been very strange recently, and I don't know why she doesn't scold her anymore, and sometimes she will show a little tenderness, for example, when she was suppressed by Luo Fengxin just now in the Qiankun Palace, her mind went blank, and she didn't even feel any pain. I feel that it's not like I didn't hug him when I was acting before, but I didn't feel this way at all at that time.

Qiao Wan knew that her current state of mind was not right, if she continued to stay with Luo Fengxin in this state of mind, she was afraid that she would not be able to restrain her soaring attachment to Luo Fengxin.

But Luo Fengxin refused to let her go, he insisted on taking her back to the princess's mansion to apply the medicine, and even threatened her that if she refused to sit down and lift up her clothes, she would take off her clothes and give her the medicine.

Hmph, it's still so fierce...

While Qiao Wan was sullen in her heart, she also felt that this sulk was a little sweet.

It's over!Luo Fengxin is really abominable, actually taking advantage of the fire to rob her!Don't talk to her again, woo woo woo!

The author has something to say: Princess: If you grab my Mao Mao, you will be mine, and you are not allowed to leave!

Qiao Wan: Return Maomao to you, let me go...

Princess: Do you really want to go?Come and hug!

Qiao Wan hugged her uncontrollably, shedding unbearable tears.tt

The little cutie who still remembers the previous article should remember that the prefect was mentioned in the previous article, and it was changed to the governor here.

Because the custom system in this article actually refers to the Tang Dynasty, but there are many personal changes.The magistrate was called this way in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. I didn’t pay attention to it when I wrote it before. Later, I found out that being caught in the middle was almost killing the obsessive-compulsive disorder, so I changed it.

In addition, princes generally have two characters, such as Han Wang, Zhou Wang, and county kings are three characters.Sometimes the state county was abolished, but because I have already written it is the state, so it is not easy to use the county king, or the prince, but because if I change the titles of the kings I have already written, I am afraid that everyone will get it It's a mess, so the title will not be changed, and everyone will treat it as a private setting.

I am sorry to have made so many bugs. I will send 20 red envelopes in the comments of this chapter. I hope everyone will forgive me qaq
