The Emperor Reigns Them All

Chapter 578: Go through fire and water for His Highness

Views:

After Chen Yuanqing killed Yuan Lang with one punch, Chengde's military commander Chen Yuanqing didn't look much better, and the fear in his eyes was still as strong as the essence.

He hurriedly walked up to the indifferent Li Ye, and knelt down when Wei Bojun's black-faced general knelt down, grabbing the ground with his head.

"The general under his command charged His Highness. It was because of his ineffectiveness in governing the army. Please punish him!" Chen Yuanqing's voice trembled and he did not dare to raise his head.

The Jiedu Envoy of Wei Bojun and the Jiedu Envoy of Yiwu Army also bowed down one after another, and followed Chen Yuanqing to plead guilty.

Needless to say the former, some generals under his command were also involved in this turmoil; although the latter was secretly thankful, he did not dare to be careless in the face of Li Ye, who had hidden anger in his eyebrows.

His general did not cause any trouble today, and he was not idle in the past, that is to say, he was not caught by Li Ye. But who knows if Li Ye will thoroughly investigate the behavior of the generals of the three armies fighting for military supplies in the past few days because of what they saw today

Zhang Wence is now following Li Ye, and no one knows whether Zhang Wence said something he shouldn't have said to Li Ye before Li Ye appeared here.

The rest of the generals, officials, and soldiers saw the three Jiedu envoys bowing down in front of Li Ye, and heard them shouting "Your Highness", the eyes of Li Ye immediately became full of surprise, fear and reverence.

Who wouldn't know now that this imposing young man in front of him is King An

"Greetings to His Highness King An!" The generals behind the three Jiedu envoys hurriedly saluted together. They were dressed in armor and couldn't bow down to the ground, but their upper bodies bowed very low during the military salute.

"Greetings to His Highness King An!" The surrounding officials and soldiers followed suit and bowed down.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness King An!" The nearby soldiers and civilian husbands huffed and knelt down. In the blink of an eye, the people around were bowed down, and no one stood upright within a hundred steps.

Soldiers in the military camp a hundred paces away are fine, after all, they cannot leave their posts without authorization, but the officials, petty officials, civilian husbands, and passers-by in front of Wei County exploded when they heard the crowd shouting in unison, and surrounded them one after another. He stretched his neck and looked this way.

From a distance, I saw the only tall figure standing in the crowd. First, the officials and petty officials bowed down one after another, and then the peasants and passers-by next to them were also infected and fell to the ground one after another.

The imperial decree did not stipulate that these people must kneel down to the ground, and they were too far away.

However, because of Zhang Wence's affairs, these officials of Wei County had long respected An Wang Xinyue's surrender, and now that they finally saw him, they wanted to express their respect from the bottom of their hearts.

And those common people usually praised King An because of Wei County's good governance and were loyal. Now seeing that Wei County officials all bowed down, they also bowed down logically.

Not long after, the large area in front of Wei County was full of soldiers and civilians bowing down to the center of the circle.

Li Ye in the crowd was expressionless.

The dignity and majesty of the king are fully revealed.

From this, it can also be seen how popular Li Ye is in the territory under his jurisdiction.

If Guo Pu and Zhang Zhongsheng saw this scene, I don't know what expressions they would have.

Accepting everyone's worship, Li Ye couldn't see any joy on his face. He didn't even let the people in front of him stand up. He looked at Chen Yuanqing and other three Jiedu envoys indifferently, and his voice was not a little warm when he spoke.

He said: "Gu Wang heard that the three towns in Hebei have always been rebellious, and there are many arrogant soldiers in the three armies. In the past, the Gu Wang didn't believe it, but when he went to Chengde and Yiwu towns after Pinghe River, the Gu Wang also thought you were still Even if he is loyal to the imperial dynasty, everyone has the idea of serving the country. However, looking at it today, the lonely king is very disappointed."

With a sneer, Li Ye continued: "I haven't seen you go out before, and I don't know. Now that you are on the battlefield, you dare to beat the local officials and rob the military supplies! What do you mean by such behavior? When it comes to the battlefield, don't you Said that I hope you will fight the enemy bravely, if the enemy general throws a few copper coins on the ground, you will fight for blood!"

Chen Yuanqing, envoy of Chengde Jiedu, and Wang Rong, envoy of Yiwu Jiedu, were sweating profusely when they heard the words, lying on the ground and not daring to move. The generals and soldiers of the two nearby towns also trembled and their faces were pale.

When Li Ye was speaking, he released a coercive air.

Although this coercive aura is only one of the three thousand weak waters compared to Li Ye's cultivation base, but placed on these people, it makes them feel like a small boat facing the tide, and they may be aboard at any time. Destruction. At this time, everyone knew that Wang An was really angry.

Xie Yi, the governor of Wei Bo, was an old general of Wei Bo's army. At that time, after Li Ye pacified Wei Bo, he was promoted to take care of the hearts of the local army and the people. He was very grateful for Li Ye's kindness, and he had tried his best to run errands since he took office, but he didn't expect to be involved in this turmoil this time, and felt very bitter and wronged in his heart.

Although Wei Bojun's black-faced general did not go too far in this matter, after all, he had a conflict with the other party. Even if Xie Yi felt aggrieved at this time, how could he dare to be aggrieved in front of the king's anger

Li Ye's eyes fell on Chen Yuanqing, "I expect you to kill the enemy and serve the country? Are you afraid that you are going to mess up the three armies! Today you can fight against your comrades for a little rations, and when you come to the battlefield in the future, if the enemy commander offers a reward for the head of the lonely king , are you going to fight back and shoot the lonely king?"

After saying this, Chen Yuanqing trembled all over, frightened out of his wits.

He hurriedly shouted: "Your Highness, calm down, I dare not! This official is loyal to His Highness, even if I borrow a hundred courage from this official, I will never dare to disrespect Your Highness! Your Highness, I know my mistake, please Your Highness Give the subordinate a chance to prove his loyalty, and let Cheng Dejun kill the enemy for His Highness!"

Wang Rong and Xie Yi also quickly responded.

Li Ye smirked: "Red mouth and white teeth, how can the lonely king believe your words?"

Chen Yuanqing felt that the coercion on his body was getting heavier and heavier, and it was about to crush his bones, and the fear in his heart was almost uncontrollable.

Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and is an artifact that supports offline reading. huanyuanapp.org

He knew earlier that even killing the general Yuan Lang might not be able to extinguish Li Ye's anger, but he didn't expect that Li Ye's anger would be so great that his life might be in danger.

Chen Yuanqing's teeth were trembling, he didn't know what to say, he could only keep grabbing the ground with his head, and kept showing his loyalty. After all, he has the cultivation base of a real person, and the ground shook like a tinkling sound.

The Jiedushi of a town with one hundred thousand soldiers in his hand is usually majestic and majestic, but when he is in front of the real big shots, he is no different from the appearance of the common people when they see them.

If Xue Wei were here, seeing Chen Yuanqing's appearance like this, I'm afraid he wouldn't feel how desolate he was when he was terrified by the soldiers.

When Chen Yuanqing had kowtowed almost, Li Ye said calmly: "You said that you have the loyalty to kill the enemy and serve the country, so the lonely king will believe you for once. But the big battle is coming, and the military law of the army is unknown, but the lonely king can't just sit idly by. Within three days, there will be a supervising army to assist you in clearing up the military law. Are you not convinced?"

Supervisor, Chen Yuanqing and others were startled when they heard these two words.

Li Ye sent people to various military towns to supervise the army, which would undoubtedly greatly strengthen the control over the various armies.

The supervising army has great power, and there are even cases where the supervising army's status is superior to that of the Jiedushi.

In fact, the imperial court had been sending eunuchs to the town to supervise the army before.

It's just that they are all for those vassals and towns that are of average strength and obey the imperial court, not including Hebei's strong vassals.

The three towns in Hebei made their own decisions even when the Jiedu envoys alternated. The court could only admit that there was such a thing as a supervising army

But at this moment they were facing Li Ye.

Chen Yuanqing, Wang Rong, Xie Yi and others hurriedly said: "Respect Your Highness's military order!"

Even though they knew that Li Ye was going to seize power, Chen Yuanqing and Wang Rong didn't dare to object. Now they are all guilty. Xie Yi is fine, he himself is extremely loyal to Li Ye, so he doesn't feel much about it.

However, Li Ye hadn't finished speaking.

He continued: "Since you are fighting for military rations here, it means that there is a lack of food in the camp, and the food supplies in the respective towns are insufficient and cannot be allocated effectively. The lonely king led you to the expedition to let you make contributions and not let you be short of supplies. "

Chen Yuanqing, Wang Rong and others were overjoyed when they heard the words, thinking that Li Ye was going to allocate more supplies.

Li Ye, the clinker, changed the subject, "The ineffective governance of the feudal towns led to a shortage of supplies, which affected the army's campaign, and almost caused a bloody fight between the two armies. Is this okay? The lonely king is duty-bound to do this, but sending food is worse than sending seeds. Help Your self-sufficiency is the best policy."

"Within ten days, the lonely king will send a group of officials into the feudal town to help you collect food and supplies and ensure the supplies of the army. At the same time, they will also help you get rid of the current disadvantages of the feudal town, implement Pinglu's civil policy, and make your feudal town truly prosperous. There is another shortage of supplies.”

After he finished speaking, Chen Yuanqing and the others were dumbfounded. They now understand that Li Ye not only wants to deprive them of military power, but also civil power!

The civil servants under Li Ye's command entered various feudal towns, and of course they had to take up official positions if they wanted to do things. When they finish their work and their official positions are secured, will they leave obediently

Since these officials, including the supervising army, will be sent out by Li Ye, they are of course his confidantes. In the eyes of them, there will be no Jiedu envoys, only King An!

Li Ye glanced at them coldly, "The lonely king has finished speaking, who wants to object?"

Chen Yuanqing and the others couldn't express their hardships, so they could only bow their heads and listen to orders: "Your Majesty will obey Your Highness's orders!"

Chen Yuanqing was already thinking in his heart that when he returned to Chengde, the first thing he would do was to arrest and kill all three clans of the general Yuan Lang.

The incident caused by the other party today gave Li Ye a handle and an excuse to cut power and seize power in the name of truth, but it hurt him badly!

Then Chen Yuanqing noticed that Wang Rong was secretly staring at him. Chen Yuanqing's heart trembled when he met the other party's eyes. What is that look? The city wants to eat people's eyes!

So Chen Yuanqing knew that what he thought of Yuan Lang just now was probably what Wang Rong thought of him now!

Chen Yuanqing felt like crying.

But he is not afraid of Wang Rong, everyone is Jiedushi, what can the other party do to him? Besides, with King An on top, would the other party really dare to provoke trouble in the future? If today's situation happened again, Wang Rong's head would probably be picked off by King An.

Taking everyone's reactions into his eyes, Li Ye was quite satisfied.

Today's incident was an accident, but I want to take advantage of this opportunity to mobilize troops and horses from various feudal towns to conquer the Central Plains, and deprive some of the power of the feudal towns, so as to thoroughly implement Pinglu's military and political policies in each town, and speed up the progress of the people's loyalty to him , it was Li Ye's long-awaited plan.

The Chengde and Yiwu armies have never fought against him before, they are relatively unruly, and they are the most likely to cause problems. The battle is imminent, and Li Ye came to patrol this time because he liked this and wanted to beat them.

I didn't expect such a thing as a scramble for military rations to happen, it was a surprise.

Of course, in Li Ye's plan, taking away the military and political power of Chen Yuanqing and Wang Rong was only the beginning.

There are also Henghai Jiedushi, Tianping Jiedushi, Zhaoyi Jiedushi, Lulong Jiedushi...

But there is no need to worry about these feudal towns. It's not good if things go too far and everyone is in danger. After all, Li Ye wants them to be willing to follow him to fight Zhu Wen, and he doesn't want people's hearts to be unstable at this time.

At the later stage of the war, when the general situation has been settled and the towns are not afraid of making troubles, it is the time for Li Ye to "do something" with these Jiedu envoys.

"Okay, let's all get up." Li Ye put away his coercion, and finally said something that made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

In the midst of everyone's thanks, Li Ye threw it away, and Chen Yuanqing, Wang Rong, and Xie Yi each had an extra magic weapon in their hands.

Not a magic weapon, but a magic weapon.

There is still a lot of magic weapons Li Ye got from Yaozu.

Seeing the magic weapons in their hands and feeling the huge aura hidden in them, Chen Yuanqing and others' eyes popped out, and the surprise was beyond words.

If their own magic weapon is a dagger, then the magic weapon given by Li Ye is equivalent to a cannon.

With such a sharp weapon in hand, the improvement of strength is not only one or two steps

The coercive and cold look on Li Ye's face was gone, replaced by a warm smile: "Follow the lonely king to fight, and the lonely king will naturally not treat you badly. Take these magic weapons and use them first. If you make meritorious service on the battlefield in the future Alright, the lonely king has some good things to reward you."

After a pause, Li Ye said meaningfully: "We are all monks in the realm of real people, and we can go further on the road of cultivation. The lonely king can give you the magic weapon used in the fairyland, and I hope you can think about it. Compared with achieving the Immortal Realm, what is a mere feudal town?"

Chen Yuanqing, Wang Rong and the others looked at each other.

Both of them saw the bitterness and sadness in each other's eyes swept away, and now they are full of unspeakable excitement and excitement.

A bright and sacred door is slowly opening in front of them.

That was the grand avenue that they could only look up to but dare not imagine before, but now, they see the hope of stepping into this door!

They prostrated themselves to the ground with joyful submission, saluted Li Ye, and shouted: "Will go through fire and water for His Highness!"
