Little Zhuangtou and the Great General

065

"What should I do next?" After finishing the business, Shen Miao lay comfortably on Wu Liu's body and began to ask questions.

Zhedong Road was already empty under Dong Chang's rule. If it wasn't for the support of Qian Liu's faction, it would have been captured by Yang Xingmi and his like. It has only been a few months since Qian Liu was ordered to raise troops, and Dong Chang's support has been weak.

"The capture of Yuezhou is just around the corner, and Dong Chang will not live for a few more days. Now my father and Mr. Luo are not focusing on Dong Chang, but on the people's livelihood in East Zhejiang Province." Wu Liudao.

Mentioning the people's livelihood in East Zhejiang Province, Shen Miao sighed. After returning to Yuezhou, Dong Chang asked Shen Miao to choose the man in charge. Shen Miao thought about the foundation of the future, so she chose the agriculture.It was only when I took over that I realized that East Zhejiang Road was riddled with holes. The previous salt tax policy and the subsequent wanton tax collection had already forced many people to flee to the land of southern Fujian. They were extremely distressed, but the war broke out again in the east of Zhejiang Province. The food and grass were not enough and they could only be forced to requisition, and the people had no way to survive.

"Although I am in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs, I dare not make drastic changes. One is that there is no foundation, and the management is too annoying; the other is that I can't take the lead, so that the diehard loyalists around Dong Chang will sprout. Dong Chang is dead, and his son One side's expectations can be resisted. Don't change it, the life of the people is really sad, I can only ease it a little bit, and at the same time hope that you will attack the city as soon as possible." Shen Miao said.

Wu Liu lowered his head and stared at Shen Miao. He looked at Shen Miao with admiration.Back then, he was a guy who was stubborn in judging people by reason, stubborn in not listening to others, and stubborn in not being malicious.Now, I finally know that there are some things in this world that cannot be solved by reason, and you have to use big evil to solve big troubles in order to earn a living.Sui said, "You really have changed a lot."

Shen Miao smiled wryly: "In this situation, if I continue to be as careless as before, I will definitely be gnawed to the bone by them."

Wu Liu's heart moved, and he felt a little regretful: "I won't let you worry about it after this matter is over."

"After the matter here is over, I don't want to worry about it." Shen Miao said with a smile, "I really didn't get this kind of trickery, I just want to let me go to the fields, so that everyone in Eastern Zhejiang Province has enough food and clothing. .”

"Are you rushing to do this kind of hard work? You can't do it if you don't want to." Wu Liu smiled and continued to talk about the siege, "It will take some time to officially siege the city. King of Pengcheng County, before attacking the city, you must first focus on persuasion. You need to do two things. One is to summarize the farming and folk conditions of East Zhedong Road at hand to ensure that they are correct and as detailed as possible. When my father takes over the East Zhedong Road You can start working on it right away.”

"Don't worry about this, I've been doing it for a long time. I have taken care to protect those officials who are able to work hard and have plans for the future of Zhedong Road." Shen Miao said.

Wu Liu patted Shen Miao on the back to show his approval, and then said solemnly: "The second is more difficult. Seeing that my father is about to take charge of Zhedong Dao, although Yang Xingmi has the imperial court's decree not to interfere, he will never be reconciled to Zhedong. The road is so sideways. Because my fifth uncle is sitting at the intersection of the east and west of Zhejiang, Yang Xingmi's army can't get through, so he has to find another way. The best way at the moment is to use his sister, that is, Yang Xingwan's safety as an excuse , send troops to welcome back."

"This excuse is not bad. Yang Xingwan has refused to accept the successor since Dong Chang established himself. Yang Xingmi really came here against the imperial court's will. The imperial court regards Yang Xingwan's loyalty and will definitely not blame Yang Xingmi deeply." Shen Miao commented.

Wu Liu continued: "Although it's good, but after all, my father's territory in East Zhejiang Road is strong enough to compete with Yang Xingmi. If he wants to get East Zhejiang Road, he must come with heavy troops. If there are heavy troops, my father will write to the court, and the court will definitely criticize him and welcome him back. Why does my younger sister need a heavy army? So he has to adopt another method at the same time: Let Yang Xingwan cooperate with the outside. Let Yang Xingwan control Yuezhou City, lead people to open the city gate to respond to the army, so that all the credit will be attributed to the Yang family."

"Since Yang Xingwan rejected Dong Chang, Dong Chang has been imprisoned in another courtyard, and I always pay attention, so far there is no movement in the other courtyard." Shen Miao said.

"There's no movement because she's waiting for someone. Just because she's alone in this city won't cause too much trouble." Wu Liu suddenly laughed and said, "Guess who Yang Xingmi sent to help this time?"

Shen Miao shook her head: "I'm not familiar with Yang Xingmi, so I can't guess it, but this matter is so important, he won't send Yang Xingfeng here."

Wu Liu shook his head back.

Shen Miao was dumbfounded: "No way!"

Wu Liuyi smiled: "Of course it's not Yang Xingfeng who is the main one, but he did follow. Last time I broke his arm, he must be extremely angry and want to get it back. You can't take it lightly, and don't be too afraid of him."

Upon hearing this, Shen Miao asked a question that she had always wanted to ask: "Why did you only break his arm last time?"

"What happened last time, firstly, the timing was wrong. If Yang Xingfeng died at that time, Yang Xingmi would have an excuse to interfere with the East Zhejiang Road, and it would not be my father's turn to ask for it; secondly, Yang Xingfeng, this person, let you do it yourself It's better." Wu Liu said.

Shen Miao was stunned, he never thought that Wu Liu would save such a trick for him.Yang Xingfeng was the person he hated the most after he came to this world. Even Dong Chang, who dealt with him cruelly at the beginning, was better than this person. He could do it for himself, for Duo'er, for those innocent people who died in Huangjian'ao Village, and for Liu Nianlang. There is nothing better than revenge.

Wu Liuzi knew Shen Miao's thoughts, and said with a smile: "This result is in line with Yang Xingfeng. You don't have to pay too much attention to this matter. It's all up to me. You just need to pay attention to it on weekdays. Focus on Dong Chang, and don't let him be Yang Xingwan was bewitched and agreed to ask the Yang family for help."

"As soon as you reminded me, I remembered that Dong Chang has been a little strange recently. Since January ago, due to the lack of success, he has gradually become addicted to drinking and sex. Go, he still sees, but he doesn't see anyone else, so he just drinks with those beauties."

"Are those beauties newcomers?" Wu Liu asked.

Shen Miao said: "Some are, some are not. One of them is very favored. I observed for a few days and found that she has no strong points, not even her appearance. She is much more naive, she believes what Dong Chang says, never contradicts, just believes."

"This is strange. It is reasonable to say that such an innocent person is not suitable to hide any identity, but it is better to be cautious at this time. I will check her identity tomorrow, and you should give her more advice." Wu Liudao.

Shen Miao nodded, Wu Liusui helped Shen Miao change to a comfortable position, put his arms around him and coaxed him: "Go to sleep, I will leave after you sleep peacefully."

Shen Miao knew that this place was his bedroom after all, and there were heavy soldiers outside, and it was not easy for Wu Liuneng to sneak in and get along with him so well, so she obediently obeyed, and fell asleep leaning against Wu Liushen.

Early the next morning, Shen Miao, who had not had time to freshen up, was surrounded by a group of ministers, who stood in the main hall anxiously, urging her from time to time.Shen Miao had no choice but to order the maid to quickly dress him neatly, and then walked out.

As soon as the ministers saw him, they started to talk about it, but there were still a few things, one was the successive defeats in various places, the other was to urge food, and the third was to return to Dong Chang, and Dong Chang scolded them out angrily. , Then close the door of the temple and never come out again.The ultimate goal is naturally to let Shen Miao go in and take a look at Dong Chang, after all, only he can enter that place.

Shen Miao knew that it was useless for her to go in. Dong Chang was unwilling to deal with it, and he was unwilling to face it. The ministers also knew that each of them had their own thoughts on the dead horse as a living horse doctor.So the farce that has been staged every day is staged again.

Shen Miao pushed the door and entered, the inside was full of Yingge's laughter, seeing Shen Miao entering, everyone paused for a while, after Shen Miao smiled kindly, everyone laughed and talked again.

Dong Chang was lying on the lap of one person. It was the woman Shen Miao and Wu Liu mentioned last night. The woman's surname was Si.Si's expression today was a little different from usual. When she saw Shen Miao, she no longer smiled innocently, but put on a trace of wariness.

Just yesterday, she suddenly felt very dizzy and had no appetite. A close friend of hers saw her and helped her secretly invite an imperial physician, but when she checked the pulse, it was a happy pulse, and she was pregnant.Si was very happy. It is natural for a woman to like children, but her close friends hurriedly warned her not to let others know about it, especially the mistress Yang and Dong Chang's son Liu Nianlang.

The former has been married to Dong Chang for many years and has not conceived. He hates those women who were pregnant before her, and tortures them in every possible way, causing them to miscarry or die; the latter is now the prince, and the child in Si's womb is a threat to him.

Si didn't have much scheming at first, but when she heard what her close friend said was correct, she started to be wary.

Shen Miao didn't know about this matter yet, so she was naturally puzzled. Dong Chang's cervical spine is not very good recently, and it is difficult to see Si's face while leaning on Si's lap, so he just smiled and said to Shen Miao: "It's better for my son, come in Knowing makes me happy, unlike them who know everything and make me troubled."

"Father, don't say that about them. It's a good thing for them to say a few more words, which shows that they care about our country." Shen Miao said.

Dong Chang then smiled: "I heard you say that, and it's true. Spread the word for me and reward all the ministers."

What is the use of the reward at this time?Being able to decide something is what those people outside want, but it's a pity that Dong Chang can't see through it, and Shen Miao can't point it out. After receiving Dong Chang's words, he left to spread the word.Before leaving, he also took a look at Si Shi's face, the man's eyes clearly showed distrust towards Shen Miao, Shen Miao was even more surprised, what does it mean to show hostility for no reason?

The strange look in Shen Miao's eyes made Si feel more threatened, so she discussed with her close friend again that night.

The close friend immediately said: "The prince's eyes are not friendly, he knows about you on the eighth floor, and he is going to kill you."

Si's face turned pale with shock: "What should I do?"

"It's not easy to handle! Now Yuezhou City is in charge of the prince, and your every move is under his supervision, unless..." The close friend deliberately paused.

Si hurriedly asked: "Unless what?" Seeing that her close friend dared not speak, she hurriedly begged, "My dear sister, please help me."

The close friend could only sigh: "This is an impossible solution. Since the city is not safe, you have to find a way to run outside the city."

"But there is chaos outside the city." Si said hurriedly.

"Chaos is good!" my close friend explained, "Chaos will make the prince's hands unable to take care of it, but as long as you hide well and come back after everything is over, everything will be yours."

"Really?" Si hesitated a little, "What if I come back to be His Majesty's guest, and the Crown Prince is in power?"

"It depends on your means." The close friend smiled, "You can leave a letter before you leave, saying that you are being persecuted by the crown prince and you can't leave. With His Majesty's love for you, he will be furious and deal with the crown prince. How could it be that the prince is in power?"

"That makes sense." Shi Shi nodded slowly.

Seeing the success of the scheme, the close friend hurriedly said: "Now you need His Majesty's seal to go out of the city, do you know where it is? If you know it, find a way to find it, and if you don't know it, find out as soon as possible."

"I know where the seal is. Your Majesty may have been wary of the crown prince. He didn't give the seal to the crown prince. Instead, he kept it in a secret place." Si said with a smile.

The close friend also laughed and said: "It's so good, you should go quickly."

Si hurriedly thanked her close friend for their help, and left in a hurry.

After Si Shi walked away, her close friend shook her head and sneered: "Idiot." She is Yang Xingwan's subordinate, and she lurks beside Dong Chang as a concubine. The way is to get Dong Changzhi's seal to open the city gate.Dong Chang seemed sluggish, but Shen Miao's defense was still there, she couldn't find a chance to strike, she never thought that Si's matter would hit her.As long as she coaxes the Si family to seal her, she doesn't care what happens to the Si family after that. The left and right cities are broken, and Dong Chang's world will no longer exist.
