King Pingde was one of Chen's princes and the strongest among Chen Huang's brothers.
When Chen Huang was in good health, he was afraid of the prestige that his brother had accumulated over the years. Even if he had soldiers in his hand, he did not dare to make any changes, but he saw Chen Huang lingering on his sickbed, declining, and not showing up in front of others for a long time, Ping De The king's mind became active.
His Majesty the Emperor crossed the line with his fingers and said: "The Emperor Chen entrusted the prince to Di Qing, but King Pingde wants to support the three princes he chose to take the upper position. Our people have already contacted the King Pingde, and I borrowed the soldiers to help. He seized power, and he ceded Fupingzhou and Yupingzhou, which were connected to Mupingzhou, to Qi State."
Yao Yanyan was a little worried and said: "There will be no risk! In case King Pingde does not fulfill his promise after the incident is completed."
His Majesty said with confidence: "It doesn't matter if King Pingde repents. At that time, both he and Di Qing will be hurt and it will be good for our country."
Seeing that her Majesty had plans in her heart, Yao Yanyan breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "Where is Gu Chu? Can you hear from her?"
When Yao Yanyan asked about Gu Chu, the emperor's expression was a little surprised. After thinking about it, he told Di Qing sent someone to send Gu Chu out of Shengjing.
Yao Yanyan's eyes widened, and she almost pulled her chin down to express her surprise. She couldn't help but said, "Why did Di Qing send Gu Chu out?" She opened her mind and guessed, "Could it be that Gu Chu is too attractive? I was fascinated by Di Qing, so Di Qing sent her out?"
One is a killer and spy who pretends to be a humble cook, and the other is a high-ranking prince and general. What kind of sparks will these two people create? Is it to kill and love each other, or to perish together in hatred
Keep your head, keep your head! Yao Yanyan patted her head, trying to take photos of the messy fantasies she had just now. She recovered, but found that her majesty's eyes were empty and his face was strange, and she didn't know what weird thoughts she had fallen into.
Yao Yanyan raised her hand and shook her, and shook him back to her senses, before saying: "Your Majesty, what about now?"
His Majesty finally recovered and said: "This news was sent back by the spies using flying pigeons all the way quickly. Gu Chu and the others are still on the way and didn't come back so soon, but the King of Peace made a deal, and there is something in the Holy Capital. His people, he is willing to send a team of people to escort Gu Chu from Shengjing to Cangpingzhou all the way. When they arrive at Cangpingzhou, the soldiers and horses I lent to King Pingde happen to be there, and we will be there. The person sent Gu Chu back. Don't worry, Gu Chu will be fine."
"That's good, that's good." Yao Yanyan breathed a sigh of relief.
She lowered her head and looked at the map on the table. She couldn't understand, and asked, "Where are Yupingzhou and Fupingzhou?"
His Majesty pointed at the two prefectures near Mupingzhou to show her, and then used his unforgettable ability to tell Yao Yanyan about the two prefectures. After finishing speaking, His Majesty the Emperor looked at Chen Guo on the map with some anxiety in his eyes.
Yao Yanyan asked him why he was suddenly upset. His Majesty the Emperor shook his head and said that he was not upset.
Yao Yanyan didn't believe it. She shook his hand and shook him, acting like a baby, "Your Majesty is a lie, your concubines can see it, Your Majesty, tell your concubines! Please..."
Yao Yanyan hasn't acted like a baby at her for a long time. She thought this trick would be very useful. Who knows this time, she shook her majesty’s arm and said soft words for a while, but her majesty was just looking at her with the old god in her eyes. There was a smile clearly, but he closed his mouth like a clamshell and did not open his mouth. Yao Yanyan was entangled in it, and only said: "I don't say it. After I say it, you will definitely laugh at me."
Yao Yanyan snorted dissatisfiedly. Your Majesty is so gentle and kind, how could he laugh at him. Yao Yanyan looked at her Majesty and said: "Since your Majesty refuses to say it, don't blame your concubines for being polite." Then, she rolled her eyes and moved her hand around her majesty's arm quietly up, while her majesty was not paying attention, one The paw hit his armpit.
Squeaky nest was scratched, the ticklish Majesty suddenly let out a big laugh, he was scratched to dodge around, but Yao Yanyan would not just let him go, she chased Her Majesty all over the house.
But after all, she was negligent to exercise, and her physique was not as good as her majesty. After chasing her for a few laps, she couldn't catch up with him. She stopped panting, and saw her smiling and hiding ten steps away from her. A look of "you can't chase me" triumphantly, it's really ugly.
Yao Yanyan's eyes flashed, she suddenly made a painful look, and fell over her heart.
This shocked His Majesty the Emperor. He ran over a few steps and just helped the person from the ground. The next moment, Yao Yanyan, who had been prepared, fell to the ground.
Yao Yanyan sat on his stomach with her hands on her hips and laughed wildly, "Hahaha, your majesty is in the game!"
His Majesty the Emperor was thrown down, held back his smile, pointed her finger up and complained: "You are deceiving! Don't count!"
Yao Yanyan smiled slyly, and said triumphantly: "Soldiers are not tired of fraud, your Majesty!"
His Majesty the Emperor expressed his dissatisfaction.
"Isn't it?" Yao Yanyan stretched out her hand abruptly and launched a brutal and inhumane attack on his squeaky nest. She smiled so that her Majesty's tears were about to flow out, and then she stopped and said: "Are you not convinced?"
His Majesty, lying under her, was tossed with messy clothes and red eyes. What I didn't know thought Yao Yanyan had strengthened him. Yao Yanyan's hands were still on his squeaky nest, and his eyes fell threateningly on him. , His Majesty did not dare to provoke any more, so he had to admit defeat and said: "I have taken it, I have taken it!"
Winner or loser, His Majesty the Emperor can only say what he just held in his heart: "Mr. Feng has calculated that there will be a severe drought in Chen Guonan this year, but there will be floods in the North. Now, with the signs of Chen's domestic chaos, there should be no effort. Pay attention to the disaster."
Yao Yanyan didn't know why and said, "Isn't this greatly beneficial to our Qi country?"
"That's right. But when I thought... because we are going to deal with Chen Guo and stir up the chaos in Chen Guo, those innocent people in Chen Guo don't know how many people are going to die, just..." He stared straight at him. Yao Yanyan on her body, "Yanyan, do you think I pretend to be a posture?"
Yao Yanyan shook her head, she squeezed her majesty's hand, and said: "Do you remember how we perished our country in the previous life?"
In the previous life, they only knew that the people rebelled and Chen Guo took the opportunity to invade, but after a lot of things happened in this life, they gradually figured out, no. The people will not rebel for no reason, unless they are desperate. There were plagues and floods in the country in the previous life, but the hundreds of officials headed by Prime Minister Zhang did not think about governance, and never informed your majesty of the disaster, so until the bandits attacked and entered the imperial city, they did not understand why Qi country fell to that point. .
Later, when they linked the time of the plague and floods in this life, they realized that it was the fault of the court that caused the bandit forces to cause chaos and Chen Guo took advantage of the chaos to attack.
Yao Yanyan smiled and said to Zhu Qiyu: "Your Majesty, don't hesitate. Natural disasters are neither you nor I can stop. The kings of Chen Kingdom are not instigating rebellion while Emperor Chen is weak. Now the upper class of Chen Kingdom has no intention of caring for the people. They are waiting. You go save them."
"It seems that today, it won't rain anymore." A group of farmers in a certain county of Chen Kingdom stood on the ground that was about to crack. After watching the dazzling sun above their heads for a while, they looked disappointedly at the feet below them. land.
It hasn’t rained in their place for more than half a year, and the nearby river is going to dry up. The villagers have to go far away to pick up water every day, but no matter how careful they wait for their fields, it will not help. I can only watch the land crack, and the crops in the ground are dying of thirst and sun, one by one.
A bare-chested, tanned farmer drank the last sip of water he brought. Because it was too hot, the sweat on his body was dried and formed into fine grains of salt sticking to his body. He frowned and looked at himself. Looking at the wilted crops on the dry and cracked land, I almost wanted to kneel down and pray for it to rain.
"If this goes on, what about next month's tax?"
"My family's food has bottomed out, and this year there is no grain, so I can't really pay taxes!"
"Drought has been going on for more than two months. Does the court not give tax cuts?"
"I heard that our majesty is going to do it."
"Who said that? A while ago, King Ji rebelled, wasn't he defeated by his Majesty's generals?"
"Hey, you are also a farmer, how do you know so much?"
"Of course I know a lot, do you remember Shi Zhuang?"
Hearing the name Shi Zhuang, the bare-chested farmer couldn't help but look over. He remembered Shi Zhuang. Before he went to serve in the military service, he was from his village. He used to go to work like him. Later, when he went to serve in the military service, he rebelled and led an army of thousands of people to openly challenge the court.
When I first learned about this, those who knew Shi Zhuang or were more or less involved in Shi Zhuang were all trembling. , Wherever he could think of it, not only did Shi Zhuang not be exterminated, he also put his troops into the Qi country, and now he has been named a general!
"Bah, shameless traitor!" a farmer scolded like this.
But some people couldn't help but show envy, "The general... That's a big noble man, Shi Zhuang must be doing well now!"
"Maybe I can eat three meals a day, each of which is white rice and meat!"
Farmers all talked about how shameless Shi Zhuang was when he became a traitor to his country, to how unrestrained Shi Zhuang was after he became a general in Qi.
"I heard that after Mu Pingzhou lost to Qi, Qi did not kill the people there, but gave them land for farming, and only collected 20% of the tax a year!"
"Really!"
"I heard that Qi State is like this. If only we only collected 20% tax!"
"Hey, don't talk about the 20% tax. If it doesn't rain, you won't even be able to pay the 10% tax."
I don't know who said this, and the farmers on the scene are down again. Chen Guo’s laws are very strict. If they dare to evade taxes, they will be dragged to the yamen, their tongues and ears will be cut off. But if the court really doesn’t give tax cuts, they can only sell their land to pay taxes. . But after selling the land, how can they make a living
The other farmers went back with sorrow, but the naked farmer was still standing there, staring at the dry and cracked field motionless.
What he didn't know was that at this time, on this drought-stricken land in the country of Chen, many farmers, like him, fell into contemplation.
When the day is peaceful and life can go on, even in the face of harsh laws and taxation, these farmers will continue to persuade themselves to endure, but when they are desperate and can't make ends meet, in order to survive, they Can burst out unimaginable resistance...
At the end of July, Emperor Chen died of a serious illness and died.
In the same month, King Pingde led the army to cover Di Qing with the name of murdering Emperor Chen and intending to usurp the throne, and attacked the Holy Capital with all his troops.
The other princes are on the sidelines, seemingly expecting them to fight both sides so that they can follow behind and pick up the bargain. Under such circumstances, the court of Chen Kingdom naturally had no time to take care of the drought in the south and the flood in the north. The natural disasters have not been dealt with, and they have become more and more fierce. The people can't bear it, and there are people everywhere in the country.
The soldier and horse who escorted Gu Chu from Shengjing to Cangpingzhou met Di Qing's soldier and horse on the way. Most of the people who escorted Gu Chu and Aunt Zhou died, and they had to get out of the carriage. Come out, mount a horse and run wildly with the guards. Behind them is a rain of swords, guns and arrows...
