541, people's heart
Unlike the people of the Clan who are in the Clan who are in the Clan, the Clans who are in the Clan should be more cautious and careful. In addition to a few of them who can cling to the Clans who live a good life, most of them have experienced the sufferings of the Clan when they first entered the pass, and now they are just the most in the people living in the Clan. Faced with such news, many people are not excited but worried and afraid.
I was worried that the originally peaceful life would no longer exist, and I was afraid that the people of the Clan would vent their anger on them, making their already hard life even more difficult and even miserable.
Of course, they cannot be blamed. Whether in the Apocalypse or in the Northern Jin Dynasty, they are just the most ordinary people at the bottom. They have no power, no power, no support, and their only request is to live. They work hard to support their families, and then any little storm in this world will make their hard work for half a lifetime of business.
In the past few days, the atmosphere in Shangjing Imperial City has become significantly different.
The originally barely maintained balance between the Clan and the Apocalypse began to gradually tilt. The situations of Clan oppressing the Clan on the streets gradually increased, although it was not too rare. However, in places like Shangjing, it can be restrained. But now, many Clans obviously vent their anger towards the Clan on these humble ordinary people. Some even think that they are spies of the Clan and are ready to plan to subvert the Northern Jin Dynasty at any time.
"These beasts!" In a teahouse on the street, the person sitting by the window looked at the drunken people from the tribe opposite Xie and beat the two Apocalypse people around him, and couldn't help but whisper.
"Speak quietly!" His companions quickly persuaded after hearing this, and looked around carefully and found that no one was paying attention. They whispered in a low voice, "If you hear it by those people in the tribe, you will cause trouble."
The man snorted softly, but lowered his voice and said in a low voice, "I really hope Princess Shenyou and Lord Cangyun City will lead people to kill Shangjing as soon as possible."
"Who said no?" His companions couldn't help but whisper, "I heard that Cangyun Army and Shenyou Army have recaptured Runzhou Xinzhou and Liangzhou, and many people living nearby are fleeing to the south. As long as they escape into Runzhou, it will be safe even if they don't cross the river. Let's prepare early."
"I'm afraid it's not easy now, and the whole north is in chaos. How easy is it to go to Runzhou?"
The man couldn't help but sigh and said, "This is right." These ordinary people, even when they are in peace and prosperity, they must be careful, let alone in such a chaotic world today?
"Forget it, let's bear it. I don't know if we can see that day in our lifetime."
"Shh." Heavy footsteps sounded at the stairs, and the two of them immediately stopped and changed their subjects and started to whisper. On the street opposite, the two Apocalypse people with bruised noses and swollen faces were also carried away. Several drunken people of the tribe scared away the people around them and then left swayingly.
In a magnificent restaurant on the other side of the capital, Tuobaluo and Baili Qinghong sat opposite each other. The places where they came and went, were all from the Clan. Baili Qinghong sat alone in it and seemed to stand out from the crowd. Tuobalu looked at Baili Qinghong and said in a little puzzled manner, "What's the matter that the prince consort can't be discussed in the mansion? Do you want me to come here?"
Baili Qinghong looked out the window with his head and asked, "What did the Regent see?"
Tuoba Luo also looked out the window, frowned slightly and said, "What?"
Baili Qinghong said, "These days, the Shangjing Imperial City has not been very peaceful." Tuoba Luo laughed and said, "It is indeed unfair to the capital. Don't you know why the prince-consort is?" Baili Qinghong said, "I know why, I still know... If I don't stop it, I'm afraid that the backyard will be fired before I can be defeated." Tuoba Luo's face was slightly dark, and he looked at Baili Qinghong coldly and said, "What does the prince-consort mean?"
Baili Qinghong said lightly, "This is different from the past. Does the Regent think that the high-pressure policy is useful to those Apocalypse people?"
Tuoba Luo raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you think it's useless? That's not what the apocalypse people outside said."
Baili Qinghong lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, "In other words, the Regent felt that if Emperor Yongjia had not escaped to the south first, would the people of the Clan be so easy to occupy the entire north?" Tuoba Luo said, "The princess of the princess who is now the Emperor of God is the Emperor of God?" Baili Qinghong said, "The princess who is today is far more terrifying than Emperor Yongjia at that time."
"Ha." Tuoba Luo chuckled. He did not mock Baili Qinghong, but he did not agree with it. Because Emperor Yongjia was really not a terrible person.
Baili Qinghong seemed not to hear his laughter and said calmly, "The Princess Shenyou has the identity and prestige of Emperor Yongjia, but it is useless to the cowardice and incompetence of Emperor Yongjia. Emperor Yongjia would retreat without fighting, which made the Heavenly Revelation Imperial Guards follow him. But... The Princess Shenyou will never retreat. As long as she is still there... the Regent, I advise you to be more cautious about the Apocalypse remnants."
Tuoba Luo understood this time, frowned slightly and said, "Do you think Princess Shenyou will become the spiritual sustenance of the apocalypse remnants of the north?"
"She is already." Baili Qinghong said.
Tuoba Luo frowned and said, "The prince-consort wants me to issue an order to treat the people of the Tianqi at this time. How should I explain to my people of the Clan?" After that, he looked at Baili Qinghong and smiled, "It is said that Mr. Baili is cruel and heartless, but it seems that he is a little wronged. Isn't the prince-consort very affectionate about the people of the Tianqi?"
Baili Qinghong lowered his head and drank a sip of tea, and said calmly, "Without the attitude of the people of the Clan, even if there is no princess in God's blessing, you will not be able to truly regain the entire north in twenty years. If you always think of them as pigs and dogs, but you don't know that the dog will bite people if you are anxious."
Tuoba Luo said in a deep voice, "Are we good to them? They will be loyal to the Northern Jin Dynasty? I am afraid that without these deterrences, they will become more aggressive, right?"
Baili Qinghong kept silent. Tuoba Luo said this situation was indeed very likely. After a while, he slowly said, "You are the Regent, so of course you have the final say. I'm just making a suggestion." Tuoba Luo looked at Baili Qinghong and raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't say that, the prince-consort, you are Your Majesty's biological father after all." Tuoba Luo was not unhappy with Baili Qinghong, but he still couldn't help but admire him. The Tuoba family suffered heavy losses before, and it was impossible for him to have no way to do it. Not to mention anything else, the fourth brother almost fell into his hands that night. He could even persuade the nobles of the Bian tribe headed by Yan Tuoyi to stand behind him without his awareness, so that Tuoba Luo now had to endure living peacefully with him.
However, it doesn't matter... the little emperor is just a baby in a cradle. As long as he can get rid of the little emperor before he becomes sensible, the relationship between the emperor's biological father is not enough to make Baili Qinghong do whatever he wants. It is hard to say whether the little emperor can live to adulthood. He doesn't believe that those powerful people of the clan can really tie Baili Qinghong to death on the same boat. If this is not good, he can still support Baili Qinghong's other son!
Before again, the little emperor could let him stay for the time being. After all, a baby who doesn't know anything is much more controllable than anything else.
Baili Qinghong looked up at Tuoba Liang and said, "Prince, we are now people on the same boat."
Tuoba Luo chuckled and nodded, "I know. Then... if the Qiren army is approaching today, I wonder what the prince consort has to offer?"
Baili Qinghong raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't worry about me, Prince?"
Tuoba Luo said, "What's wrong with being worried? Your Majesty is the parent-child of the prince consort. I will not worry that the prince consort will help others steal the throne of his son? What's more, the prince consort holds hundreds of thousands of southern troops, so is he going to watch it? This will make people worry whether the prince consort wants to reap the benefits of the fisherman."
Baili Qinghong said, "I can transfer the Southern Army to help you." The implication is that Baili Qinghong will not leave the battlefield in person.
Tuoba Luo was not surprised by this. Now the little emperor is still a baby, and the princess of Zhao Kingdom has long been separated from Baili Qinghong. It would be strange if Baili Qinghong could leave Shangjing with confidence. She didn't care. Tuoba Luo nodded and said, "thank you, my son-in-law."
Baili Qinghong frowned and said, "The prince plans to let King Shen lead the army?"
"Otherwise?" Tuoba Luo Yangmei looked at him, as if asking the prince-consort what his best ideas were?
Baili Qinghong lowered his eyes and said lightly, "No, the prince is wise."
Chu Ling and his army did not encounter any obstacles when they entered Liangzhou.
Chu Ling's speculation was not wrong. Cangyun City itself had limited military strength. Last year, the entire Qinglong Camp and the chief general Bai Xing were sent to the west. Now, except for the few remaining soldiers, all the rest followed Jun Wuhuan to the front line. If the army of the Clan came from the flanks at this time, it would be very likely that Liangzhou would be recaptured or Cangyun's army, which had already arrived at the Ningzhou border, would be forced to transfer troops to rescue Liangzhou.
This was originally something that was left for Chu Ling to recover. They had already communicated before Jun Wuhuan's troops left Liangzhou.
Chu Ling and his troops entered Liangcheng, the capital of Liangzhou without hesitation.
Compared to Runzhou, Liangzhou is closer to the west and appears more desolate and barren. Even Liangzhou’s prefecture is far less prosperous than Runzhou Xinzhou. On the other hand, Liangzhou’s people are tough and have not been a good place since ancient times. Even if they were occupied by the Bian people for many years, ordinary people naturally dare not provoke the Bian people, but those bandits and bandits are still rampant. Over time, the soldiers stationed in Liangzhou, whether they are the Bian or the Southern Army, will not easily provoke these bandits casually. Unless they are too excessive and do not have any eyes to provoke the court. In many places, even generals in the army collude with the bandits to cause trouble in the countryside.
The Cangyun Army drove away the Northern Jin people, and many of the Bian people who originally lived in Liangzhou ran away when they saw that the situation was not good. So the entire Liangcheng seemed to be quieter.
When Chu Ling and his group entered the city, there were almost no figures on the street, which made people wonder if this was an empty city. However, during the operation, they could still keenly detect the inquiring eyes in the houses on both sides of the street. Zhu Yaohong followed Chu Ling and whispered, "Princess, can the people in this city hide at home during the day?"
Chu Ling chuckled softly and said, "No wonder, once the soldiers of the Clan, the Southern Army and those Clan members go, there are probably not many people left in Liangcheng. There are probably not many of these people who dare to join in the fun." People living in such places know what Mingzhe is to protect themselves, which is completely different from those of Pingjing, who want to join in the fun.
Zhu Yaohong nodded and sighed softly, "It seems that this is true. The place in Liangzhou has been harmed by the people of the Cangzhou for so many years." Chu Ling said, "Where is not?" Although there are many people in Runzhou and Xinzhou now, Cangyun City is even more crowded, but most of them are people who escaped from all over the north. If one day they can recover the north, they will probably face the situation of vast land and sparsely populated people. Maybe they will migrate some people from the south to the north.
While the two were talking, Feng Sibei, who was walking in front, came over and sat on the horse's back and bowed, "Princess, Chen Gong, the captain of the White Tiger Camp in Cangyun City, and Qiu Pingjiang, the governor of the Liangzhou Prefecture, were waiting for the princess in front."
Chu Ling raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "There is only one governor?"
Feng Sibei smiled helplessly and said, "The rest have run away." After the Cangyun Army sent a small number of troops to guard the city and ignored the officials and people in the city. Naturally, they gave them enough time to escape.
Chu Ling raised his eyebrows and said, "All ran away? Is it because the Northern Jin Dynasty finally refused to surrender, or did nothing good, are you afraid?"
Feng Sibei smiled and didn't say anything, but Chu Ling understood what he meant. He nodded and said, "Okay, let's go. It's better to find a local snake to ask about the situation first."
As he spoke, he had already arrived at the yamen gate. Sure enough, he saw several people standing on the side of the road outside the gate waiting. Chu Ling raised his hand to signal the troops behind him to stop, and the few people on the side of the road came up to meet him.
"I finally saw the princess of the White Tiger Camp!" A general in his early thirties bowed.
"The servant Qiu Pingjiang has seen the princess." The middle-aged man who stood behind the general also hurried forward and said tremblingly.
Chu Ling looked at the man. He was a middle-aged man in his early forties. He looked a little thin and his skin was also darker than the people of Xinzhou, Runzhou. He looked like he was dark and short, not very much like a tall and big Liangzhou man. Chu Ling nodded and said, "No need to be polite, thank you for your hard work in Master Chen."
Chen Gong bowed and said, "It's all the matters that last general is responsible, and the princess is so serious."
Chu Ling set his eyes on Qiu Pingjiang, raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Mr. Qiu?"
"Don't dare, don't dare." Qiu Pingjiang said repeatedly.
Chu Ling asked, "Everyone else ran away, why don't you run?"
Qiu Pingjiang was stunned for a moment, and calmed down before saying, "The villain did not do anything against his conscience, so naturally... he doesn't have to run away."
"Oh?" Chu Ling nodded and smiled, "I will wait and see."
Qiu Pingjiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He heard that Princess Shenyou meant that she was willing to give him a chance. He quickly turned sideways and said, "The backyard of the government office has been cleaned up. Please come in and rest first."
"It's a labor." Chu Ling nodded and walked towards the government office.
Zhu Yaohong followed Chu Ling and looked at Qiu Pingjiang with interest when she passed by Qiu Pingjiang. Qiu Pingjiang was a little scared. He looked at the group of young women following Princess Shenyou. Although they were all young and had outstanding appearance, they all looked at him with swords and looked at him with a look of pickiness and murder. Qiu Pingjiang was so scared that he was so scared that he didn't even dare to float around the corners of his eyes.
Although Liangzhou is barren, the interior decoration of the government office is quite magnificent. Chu Ling sat in the lobby of the yamen, and Zhu Yaohong and Feng Sibei and other generals sat down one after another. Xiao Yan'er followed Xiao Xi and set up camp outside the city. It was not convenient for more than 200,000 troops to settle in Liangcheng at once. Xiao Xi and Chu Ling both thought it would be better to station outside the city first.
Qiu Pingjiang followed Chen Gong in, and Chu Ling smiled and said to Chen Gong, "Prince Chen, sit down and talk."
Chen Gong bowed and thanked him, walked to the side and sat down. So Qiu Pingjiang was the only one left in the lobby. He was obviously a little nervous and didn't even dare to look up at Chu Ling.
Chu Ling slightly eased his voice and said, "Mr. Qiu, don't be nervous. As long as you have never done anything you shouldn't do, I'm not an unreasonable person." Hearing this, Qiu Pingjiang was obviously relieved and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Princess." Obviously, he was still a little afraid that other officials would run away. Princess Shenyou used her as a number to stand up for him to establish his authority or sacrifice flags.
In this regard, Chu Ling said that he was thinking too much. Even if he really wanted to kill a few people to establish his authority, a small governor would obviously be useless.
Qiu Pingjiang took a reassurance and hurriedly said, "What does the princess want to know? Anyone who knows will know everything."
Chu Ling nodded, very satisfied with his tactfulness. After pondering for a moment, he asked, "The officials of Liangcheng, except Lord Qiu... have they really escaped? Where did they escape?"
Qiu Pingjiang said, "Go back to the princess, the garrison generals and commanders of the Southern Army who guarded Liangzhou were killed by the generals of Cangyun City a few days ago. Most of the officials of the Cangyun City fled. They must have gone to a safe place near Liangzhou or returned to Shangjing? As for the prefect..." Qiu Pingjiang looked at Chu Ling and hesitated, and Chu Ling asked, "What's wrong with the prefect?"
Qiu Pingjiang whispered, "The previous Liangzhou magistrate was killed half a year ago, and the current magistrate has only been in office for less than half a year. He is from Liangzhou, so..."
"So he is still in Liangzhou now?"
Qiu Pingjiang nodded.
Chu Ling was a little curious, "Although Liangzhou is barren, it is a medium-sized state after all, and it is not small. Shouldn't an official as big as a prefect assigned by Shangjing? It happened to be from Liangzhou?" The people of the Clan put the Tianqi people on the ground. There is no possibility of local promotion for officials of the rank of the prefect, and they must have been transferred from other places.
Qiu Pingjiang shook his head and whispered, "This prefect named Huang Jian. He is the brother-in-law of the newly-dead Liangzhou garrison general. He doesn't know where he originally served as a villain, but I heard that he has some friendship with several bandits in Liangzhou."
Chu Ling was a little surprised and raised her eyebrows and said, "The prefect has a friendship with the bandit, or is it the brother-in-law of the guard general? This person is a bit interesting."
Qiu Pingjiang laughed dryly, "The princess is right."
