"According to the request of the empress, we have checked all the corpses that have not been corrupted and can be clearly seen in the mass graves and Yizhuang in the past month or so. The corpses found are about 1,000 in total. The ones that really died of natural causes are about one. One hundred and sixty. The rest of the people, whose identities can be determined and confirmed, are replaced by someone who is still living a normal life, a total of 403 people."
Yun Chang nodded, frowning tightly: "There are four hundred and three out of a thousand people, which is already a huge proportion."
"Yes." Qianyin nodded: "Your Majesty, shall we kill all these people?"
Yun Chang nodded: "Kill, kill them all. Just don't deal with them all in one day, divide them into several days."
After a pause, he instructed again: "After killing the impostor, send a hidden stake to pretend to be a disguise. Choose the nearest hidden stake and be a little familiar with that person."
Qianyin understood Yunshang's meaning: "Your Majesty, do you want to put our hidden stakes in there and do a fine job?"
"This is one of them. It's just that those people Xiahou Jing'an planted may be like our hidden stakes. Every time they come into contact with them, they have specific passwords. It's not easy to pretend to do secret work. More, I want to Give those people, their families, some buffering opportunities."
"Let the hidden piles act as impostors first, and then think of a way to fake death naturally. Don't let the common people notice the clue..."
Qianyin nodded and responded: "I understand, empress, don't worry, leave this matter to me, I know what to do."
Yun Chang naturally has nothing to worry about when she does things.
Yun Shang nodded: "Okay."
This matter was properly explained, and Qianyin thought of another problem: "According to my mother's guess, I asked Luo Yi to find a way to investigate the situation of the hoes, sickles and kitchen knives of the people in the city in the past six months. The consumption of these things in the city has indeed increased."
"But because it is a daily necessities in ordinary people's homes, even if the consumption increases, there is no big clue."
Yun Shang nodded: "This is also within my expectation. There is no need to bother to inquire about these things. You only need to know one thing. Among people like Xia Houjing, they only need to have weapons."
Qianyin nodded lightly, and bit her lips: "Recently, I don't dare to talk to the neighbors around me. When I go out to buy something, I always feel that the person I see is not the original one at all. It's really creepy."
Yun Shang laughed: "There's no need to think too much about it. The matter of Zuo Zuo has not been fully exposed, and Xia Houjing has not made this matter public. Even if those people are not the original body, they will not do anything. Don't worry. .”
Qianyin nodded: "I'm just a little scared, I don't dare to let the nanny take the child out for a walk recently."
"Well, let's stay at home for a while. This city of Jin will soon change."
"The sky is going to change. It's Shen's time now, and it's almost dark." Not long after Qianyin left, Pei Lan took a look at the sky outside, took flints, and lit up all the palace lanterns in the palace.
Yun Shang raised her eyes and looked outside when she heard the words: "It's not dark, it's just dark clouds covering the sun, just a gust of wind will be fine."
As soon as Yun Chang's words fell, there was a sudden wind outside, and the wind was not small.
Pei Lan couldn't help laughing: "Your Majesty's mouth, isn't it open?"
Yun Shang also laughed: "It would be great if it had been opened, and if it had been opened, I would definitely say something good every day, such as the prosperity of the country and the people's safety, and everything goes well."
As Yun Chang said, it wasn't really dark outside, it was just blocked by dark clouds, and after a gust of wind, it really brightened up again.
Yun Shang looked at the brightening sky outside, and was in a daze for a while: "I hope it's just a short period of dark clouds covering the sun."
Pei Lan didn't know the deep meaning of Yun Shang's words, so she just echoed: "Isn't it just a short period of dark clouds covering the sun? Look, ma'am, it's much brighter now."
Yun Shang only smiled with the corners of her mouth pulled, and did not speak again.
In the morning of the second day, just as Yunshang had breakfast, news came from outside the palace: "I heard that early this morning, when it was time to open the city gate, the gate of Jincheng was still closed. A notice was posted, saying that His Majesty is preparing for some ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, and some people with bad intentions intend to sabotage it. In order to prevent the ritual of offering sacrifices to heaven from being destroyed, and to protect the country and the people, His Majesty has decided that from today onwards, only one side of the palace gate of Jincheng will be opened. Everyone can only go out and not in."
Yun Shang was stunned: "Your Majesty is still in the morning court now?"
"It's still early morning." Pei Lan nodded, "I'm afraid the order was already issued last night."
Yun Chang's fingers moved slightly, but she also nodded: "Just going out and not entering will ensure that the number of people in the city will not increase. It is also beneficial to us that Xia Houjing's people cannot come in."
Pei Lan hummed: "Compared with Xia Houjing, our biggest advantage is that we are in Minglu. Your Majesty is the emperor of our Xia Kingdom. If you want to do anything, you can just issue an imperial decree. Xia Houjing can only Do some shady things secretly, like a mouse in the gutter, shady."
Yun Shang couldn't help laughing when she heard her describe it like this: "Well, you are right."
Xia Houjing probably did not only do one thing yesterday.
After a while, Yunshang heard new news: "Your Majesty ordered that in order to enrich the country and strengthen the army, the system of all the people being soldiers will be implemented."
Yun Shang couldn't help raising her eyebrows when she heard the words: "All the people are soldiers?"
The dark guard nodded: "Let all the people in the Xia Kingdom, regardless of gender, enter the military camp to receive serious military training during the slack season. Enter the camp at the end of autumn and go home after the beginning of spring."
"This system is not enforced, but the people who sign up can get a subsidy of five taels of silver every year, and they can sign up from now on."
If Yun Shang was able to guess Luo Qingyan's intentions when he heard the news that the city gate could only exit but not enter in the morning, then Yun Shang would really not understand that the whole people are soldiers.
Yunshang remembered that when she went to the meeting hall yesterday morning, Liu Wen'an said that Luo Qingyan was meeting officials from the Ministry of War, Ministry of Industry and Household Department in the meeting hall, could it be because of this
"After the announcement was sent out, quite a few people supported it." The secret guard seemed to understand what Yunshang cared about, and reported directly to Yunshang: "After all, this system is not enforced. If you don't want to participate, you don't have to. The participating people can also get some subsidies, five taels of silver, which can be regarded as a considerable amount of income to subsidize their families during the slack season."
Yun Shang nodded: "You continue to stare outside to see if there is any other movement, and report to me immediately if there is any news."
The dark guard nodded, but looked at Yun Shang with some doubts.
Aren't Your Majesty and the Empress a husband and wife? It seems that the decision made by His Majesty, the empress does not seem to be aware of it...
