Astral Apostle Chapter 230: Rules and Shakes
Huyang, Yueshan Lake, Longwang Village.
It's been a while since the army's triumph, and all the trivialities have been properly arranged. Now the Huyang family is the dominant one, and it's finally time for the official seat.
But I saw warships scattered all over the lake, lined up in arrays, facing the direction of the stockade, and big flags fluttered and danced in the wind.
Dongdongdong——
The crowd gathered with drums, the sound was like thunder, and soon a sea of people gathered on the beach, surrounding a high wooden platform on the shore.
On the high platform, there are incense burners and candles, as well as dozens of bowls of wine.
When the commotion subsided, Zhou Jing and a group of leaders stepped up the steps, went to the high platform, and stood in front of the fragrance.
Zhou Jing looked around, taking a panoramic view of the faces. Then he used his inner strength to speak loudly, and the sound came out like a loudspeaker far away:
"We are waiting for Juyi Huyang, and we don't want to rot with the grass and trees. We just want to make a career. Today, my brothers and I swear to the Tianmeng that from now on, we should work together, share weal and woe, and live and die. Xiangtuo... This world is drowsy, full of corrupt officials, landlords and tyrants, I will act for the heavens, and the heaven and earth will learn from it!"
"I am willing to lead the horse and whip for the owner of the village!"
Everyone responded with a bang, each picked up incense sticks, put a bow before their foreheads, then burned yellow paper, made blood as an alliance, drank strong wine, threw bowls and shouted.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Jing began to read aloud the seats and positions of the people, and discussed the merits and deeds.
Guo Haishen is a well-deserved second leader, the third leader Duan Yunfeng, the fourth leader Du Ying, the fifth leader Hong Dingxian, the sixth leader Fang Zhen and so on.
With one set, there are now 96 chiefs in the stockade, most of whom were later employed, and some of them are quite useful.
After arranging the seats, Zhou Jing's eyes were sharp, he looked around the crowd, and said solemnly:
"All the brothers know about my deeds. I used to travel between townships and counties, seeking out evildoers, and doing justice for the heavens. Now I have a great foundation, occupying Huyang and serving as a shelter for the township.
After today, there will be a court for redress of grievances. The poor people in the Huyang realm can come forward if they have grievances. There is revenge for injustice, revenge for revenge!
At the same time, a martial arts hall is set up to teach martial arts to the people every day. No matter the poor or the lowly, as long as they want to learn martial arts as the foundation of their lives, they will not refuse. "
"Zhaizhu is high righteousness!"
The voice fell, and many children shouted.
Zhou Jing looked at the excited crowd and nodded secretly.
Now it is necessary to accumulate grain and build high walls. It is not time to rise up, so he did not shout slogans of subverting the imperial court, nor did he immediately set up new laws independent of the imperial court.
It's just beating the drums in such a way as to avenge the people's grievances, in order to have a lasting impact on the people.
'It doesn't directly touch the bottom line of the court, it is still the category of bandits, they will calculate the cost of suppressing bandits, and the local officers and soldiers have been maimed by me, not a threat, I can develop in Huyang for some years...'
Zhou Jing thought to himself.
The ceremony was completed quickly. Witnessed by many minions, the group officially finished the seat and set the rules, and then they held a banquet in the stockade for three days in a row, drinking and resting.
……
The news spread everywhere, not only in the boundary of Huyang, but also in all parts of Longwangzhai's rules of avenging the people's grievances and spreading martial arts to the people, causing a lot of discussion.
Some people praised this as a kind deed for the people and for the heaven, and some people scolded it as an evil deed that is selfish and lawless.
The people in the Huyang realm rejoiced and cheered, and the lords and dignitaries here were all stunned, shouting for sins, and frightened.
This Chen Feng has picked up his old job again!
Isn't it okay to be your king of the mountain!
We're not in your way. We can give you money and food, so why don't you have to live with us? !
According to this **** rule, doesn't it mean that any beggar whose life is like a must have to seek justice, and someone will come to take their life? What kind of reasoning is this!
Huyang can't wait anymore!
For a while, panic filled the landlords and gentry, and they were all so frightened that they sold their properties to other sellers, sought another way out, and fled to other realms.
In the past, when Chen Feng's gang committed crimes, they at most went out to avoid the limelight, but now Chen Feng wants to stay in Huyang for a long time. In their eyes, this area has become a dragon pool and a tiger's den, and they have no plans to come back.
They don't expect the government to suppress the bandits at all. The local officers and soldiers in Huyang were beaten and disabled, and Chen Feng could not be cured at all.
On the other side, the prefectures in Huyang were equally angry, but there was nothing they could do about Chen Feng.
The imperial court did not send a large army to suppress the bandits. In addition to being incompetent and furious, the officials of various states were frightened every day. Every night when they slept with their concubines, they were afraid that someone would sneak in and cut their heads, making the bed no fun.
And some well-connected officials in Huyang are secretly working, trying to get transferred to other regions to become officials.
With such a plague on the side, it's a life-threatening stay here!
……
The capital, the imperial palace, and the Purple Palace.
The emperor sits on the dragon chair, and the ministers will meet in the following court.
"...Then Chen Feng's rebellion in Huyang has become more and more rampant. Now there are tens of thousands of people, and one family is the only one. It is difficult for the court to suppress the bandits.
A minister opened his mouth to play.
The emperor's face was sinking, and he said slowly: "Last year, I traveled to Ningtian, where the prince was in charge of the country. The officials in Huyang had already reported the case of bandit troubles. Deteriorated to this point?"
Because he was assassinated by Duan Yunfeng in Ningtian Mansion last year, the emperor has no plans to travel this year and has been staying in the capital.
Prince Wang Jing heard the words, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to confess the crime: "My son knows I'm wrong."
Privacy envoy Pang Hong was outstanding and said: "At that time, Prime Minister Qin offered a plan to drive away tigers and swallow wolves, and recruited An Huyang pirates to deal with Chen Feng, but now it seems to be useless, but instead he taught Chen Feng to swallow and make his head bigger. I wonder if Prime Minister Qin still has a good plan?"
Qin Song didn't change his face, and said with a bow: "Reporting to the sage, the Huyang bandits who recruited Anlai are so bad, it is true that the old minister did not notice."
The emperor shook his head, without blaming, and asked:
"This Chen Feng has no court, it's really abominable, I don't know what plan the Aiqings have to exterminate this person?"
Pang Hong immediately opened his mouth and said solemnly: "This Chen Feng is good at opening court, tying people's hearts, and has a lot of plots of rebellion. According to the minister's opinion, he should send a large army to destroy!"
"Treachery?" The emperor frowned.
Although he doesn't want to spend the money on military expenses, if he is a rebel who rebels, he will have to deal with it even with all his blood.
After all, bandits and rebels are two different concepts, and the court cannot sit back and watch the latter act recklessly.
At this time, a minister came out and said:
"Pang Shu's secret statement was exaggerated. Although Chen Feng was arrogant, arrogant, lawless, and committed riots, he did not rise up, nor did he claim that he wanted to rebel. He was just a group of bandits. All right, no need to fight."
When Qin Song saw this, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, in the opinion of the old minister, dispatching a large army is a waste of money and half the effort. As long as this Chen Feng does not intensify his attack on the prefecture, it is better to wait for Tianwangzhai to pacify Yanbei and Yanbei. If there are bandits in Taidong, if you send them to deal with Chen Feng, no matter how bad it is, you will lose both, and it will not be too late for the imperial court to send troops."
The emperor heard the words, pondered for a while, and nodded:
"Qin Aiqing's words are not unreasonable, so I will do as they are."
As long as he's not a rebel, his principle is to spend as little as he can.
Besides, the place in Huyang has always been noisy with water bandits, but now it's just a change of leader, it doesn't seem to make a difference.
Seeing that the abacus failed again, Pang Hong gritted his teeth secretly and sulked.
With a few words, everyone quickly dealt with the problem and talked about other things.
At this time, a rumor-clearing official said:
"The minister wants to impeach the real God Xiao Fengling of Sitianjian! This man used the method of alchemy to deceive Sheng Ting. Although he was on duty in Sitianjian, he was idle all day. Disciple, is a demon with bad intentions, I hope the Holy One can see it clearly!"
The voice fell, and many courtiers present showed disgust, only to feel that their ears were cocooned.
Since the emperor brought back the real Yufeng, these gossip officials have been eyeing him, chasing and scolding him for more than half a year, and impeaching him every day.
This seems to have become a trend. If you don't scold Lingfengzi and confuse the public with a few words, you can't show that they are pure streamers.
"Aiqing's remarks are bad. The real alchemy method is genuine and beneficial to the body. I often take it, and my spirit is much healthier than before..."
The emperor was also tired of hearing it, but he couldn't have a seizure, so he had to appease him once and return to impeachment.
Although the real Yufeng is always targeted, the emperor has obviously felt that his body has become better after taking the other party's medicinal pills in the past few months. Ye Yushu Concubine once again experienced the joy of the joy of fish and water.
This made him more and more favored by the real Yufeng... He gained real benefits, and he would not be shaken by the impeachment of others.
……
Yanbei, somewhere in the plain.
The Tianwangzhai army is stationed here, and the tents are endless, with almost no end in sight.
Huyang is lively fighting, and Yanbei and Taidong are also fighting. Since being recruited, Lu Longchuan and other leaders have led the army to expedition to suppress bandits and deal with local bandits~IndoMTL.com~ It is noon at this time At that time, the camp buried the pot to make rice, and the leaders such as Lu Longchuan sat by the camp tent, chatting while eating, and unknowingly talked about the situation on the Huyang side.
"I didn't expect that Chen Feng could solve the Three Flood Dragons so easily and dominate Huyang. He is the leader of the green forest in the south."
"Yeah, it's really not easy to compare his Dragon King Village with my Tianwang Village."
The leaders sighed.
It took them many years to lay the foundation of Tianwangzhai. I didn't expect Chen Feng to become a giant in the green forest in just one year, almost on an equal footing with them.
Every time they think about the rapid rise of the other party, everyone has a feeling of being slapped on the beach by the back waves, and secretly lamented that they are getting old.
One of the leaders sighed: "Oh, after we recruited security, we have received mixed reputations in the green forest, and we are no longer the leader of the green forest. I am afraid that the position of the overlord of the green forest will fall on Longwangzhai in the future."
Lu Longchuan comforted when he heard the words:
"Brothers, don't be discouraged, we are on the right path, we will serve the country in the future, and the reputation of Lulin is useless to us. We are no longer characters of this level. We just need to pacify the bandits in Yanbei and Taidong, everyone. The children will be able to judge the merits and deeds.”
Everyone had different expressions and nodded.
Xiang Tianjie hesitated, but in the end he didn't speak.
This transaction of Zhao'an is to become the sword in the hands of the imperial court, and to sacrifice one's life in exchange for official position, fame and fortune.
The imperial court recruited them to pacify the bandits in the world. Even if Yanbei and Taidong were settled, they might even be sent to conquer Huyang.
Thinking of Chen Feng's appalling deeds, Xiang Tianjie couldn't help but worry.
To fight against such a ruthless character, even if you win, how much will it cost, how many brothers will be killed and injured?
For a while, Xiang Tianjie gradually felt shaken by the decision of the village owner to be recruited.
