You Miao looked up and down at Tu Risheng, and knew that he wanted to avoid death. After all, he brought up this peasant uprising. Throughout the dynasties, the leader of the rebel army could not escape the end of his death. Guess Tu Risheng raised his neck, took a sip of wine, and said softly: "The brothers who came here with me all the way, the family members still haven't had enough to eat. Squire bullying..."
What Tu Risheng said was beyond what You Miao had expected. You Miao couldn't help but admire her secretly in her heart, saying that he was a good man.
However, Youmiao's mouth did not loosen, and he just said lightly: "I can't promise you this, but I will do my best to get relief from the court."
Tu Risheng was displeased and asked: "Jiangnan is only for one bite. Now that it has reached this point, can't you give me a letter?!"
"Do you think the imperial court pretends not to know about this?" You Miao said: "Your Majesty's situation, our situation, is more difficult than yours! The imperial court has become a battlefield now, and His Majesty's life is even frugal. It's useless for you to be in a hurry."
Tu Risheng sighed, and You Miao said lightly: "I will try to relieve the disaster, but the disaster relief is given by the court, not in exchange."
You Miao knew that when negotiating with Tu Risheng, he couldn't talk to death first, otherwise, once he promised him, he would not be able to get food at that time, or if there was not enough to eat, the emperor would be dishonest. On the contrary, it is not good for Jiangnan public opinion.
Tu Risheng had no choice but to say: "Then ask Lord You to declare the decree in public, so that I can explain it to the brothers."
You Miao nodded, knowing that this matter was finally resolved without bloodshed.
At noon that day, Tu Risheng led people to build a high platform by the river, Xie Quan boarded the high platform, and declared an edict to the dark peasant army below. To the north of the empty Qinghe Plain, no one spoke or left.
"Don't be too busy to leave." After Xie Quan announced the decree, You Miao instructed again, "Relief!"
As soon as the news spread, the entire Beihe area became a sensation. Li Zhifeng led the army to transport the grain from the other side. Tu Risheng was stunned, and You Miao explained, "This is the grain that Your Majesty asked me to bring along with the army. It may relieve your hunger for a while."
The first person knelt down, murmured tears, and said "Long live." Then more and more people knelt down, kowtowed to the south, and shouted "Long live my emperor."
The Yangzhou Army began to distribute grain from noon until late at night, each person had a bag of grain, and those who received it went home for the winter. That night, You Miao was pacing by the river and saw Tu Risheng standing among the reeds, wondering what to do.
Tu Risheng had to be brought back. After all, he was the leader of the rebel army. If he didn't bring it back, he couldn't explain it. According to the law, his head should have been chopped off. You Miao watched from the side. After a good deal, he stepped forward and said, "Tu Risheng."
Tu Risheng turned his head and smiled at You Miao.
You Miao said: "Although what you have done is rebellious, I really admire you. You are a man, General Tu."
Tu Risheng has a dark face and simple behavior. With the kindness of the Zhuang family, he also has a well-informed demeanor. He asked, "Is Mr. You afraid that I will be out of my mind?"
You Miao said happily, "You shouldn't. You see that I didn't send someone to keep you and you with me, so you know you're not a self-contemptuous person."
"If I kill myself." Tu Risheng smiled and said, "I can't tell you, it's a good thing for me. With His Majesty's temper, I'm afraid that going back will hurt you."
You Miao understood the meaning of Tu Risheng's words - since he agreed to Tu Risheng, he had to plead for the surrendered rebel leader in front of Zhao Chao. But Tu Risheng shoveled over the whole way, running over two prefectures, and the court civil servants, especially the major nobles, would not spare him. Zhao Chao will not make Tu Risheng any better.
And You Miao, who is begging for mercy, is bound to be in an awkward position.
"Not at all." You Miao smiled lightly.
"What kind of person do you think today is today?" Tu Risheng asked.
You Miao narrowed her eyes and pondered without answering. When she thought about it carefully, it seemed that even he didn't know Zhao Chao very well. What kind of person is Zhao Chao? Maybe no one can answer this question. He always felt that the Zhao Chao he knew was just one of many Zhao Chaos sitting on the throne.
So who knows him? Nie Dan may know him, but he can't say the best. After all, in the whole Apocalypse, the only one who really knows him is You Miao. From the moment You Miao agreed to Tu Risheng, he had already expected a series of reactions after holding him back to court. With his intercession, Zhao Chao will definitely not kill Tu Risheng. His heart is not bad, he is not cruel, and he is not suspicious.
But in order to suppress the public opinion of the court officials, he will put Tu Risheng on death row, and he will be executed next year. After a while, think of a way to release it and let Tu Risheng use it for himself.
"He... love is like life." You Miao said.
"Love talent, or love wealth?" Tu Risheng said.
You Miao knew what Tu Risheng meant, laughed and said, "You don't have to worry, His Majesty won't kill you."
Tu Risheng sighed: "It doesn't matter if I die or not, and it is useless to keep it. If I can save the people of Jiangnan from water and fire, I am willing to die. But no matter how Your Majesty treats me, Lord You, I want to ask you. one's life."
You Miao's heart moved, and for some reason, she remembered what Tu Risheng had said before.
There is an old friend who wants to talk to you about...
Who is it? You Miao became vigilant.
Tu Risheng: "Follow me, Master You."
Tu Risheng didn't wait for You Miao's response, he walked into the reeds and startled a group of birds.
The twilight was dark, the setting sun was like blood, reflecting the early moon in the cold mountain, You Miao did not suspect that Tu Risheng was trying to hold him hostage or wanted to do something. After all, even if he captured him, it would have no effect.
"I already thought about it before the Nanxiang Uprising. As long as the court is willing to open warehouses for disaster relief, I am willing to take away the sins of all the brothers." Tu Risheng said as he walked.
You Miao: "You knew for a long time that you would not win this time when you raise troops?"
Tu Risheng nodded: "Yes, most of the brothers who are close to me also know that after this battle, Master You is willing to hold the rest of the people accountable. I finally feel that I should listen to you. Your Majesty can behead me, but you must keep him, let him fight for the country, and restore my Apocalypse."
Tu Risheng took You Miao to a thatched hut on the wasteland, and said, "I made an appointment with him earlier, and whether it happened or not, I would try to accommodate him. It was he who told me that since you came to announce the decree, the livelihood of the people in Jiangnan would be hopeful. ."
