Quick Wear: The Demon Lord blew up the tomb at the beginning
Chapter 275 I Make Heaven and Earth Godless (3)
Chang'an City.
In the Pepper Room, more than a dozen imperial physicians were kneeling in the hall with sweat on their foreheads. An old imperial physician was holding one end of a silk thread, and the other end was tied to Jiang Nishang behind the curtain.
He is taking the pulse by hanging a thread.
Jiang Nishang looked haggard and depressed. She coughed from time to time and looked very weak. Xie Yuanjing sat beside the bed, looking at her with concern.
Seeing that the old doctor had been examining for a long time without any result, Xie Yuanjing could not help but get angry: "What happened to the queen? Have you figured it out?"
The old doctor was so scared that he knelt down immediately. This man was really a killer. Many doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau had been killed by him.
He had just examined the Queen's pulse and found that she was in good health, but the previous doctors who had said that the Queen was not ill were all dragged away and beaten to death.
He couldn't diagnose the disease either, so he could only examine her face and analyze her condition, so he said, "Your Majesty, can you let me see the Queen's face so I can find the right treatment..."
"How dare you! The queen's body is so precious that you can't just look at it whenever you want."
"A quack doctor, he hasn't even been able to diagnose a disease for such a long time." Xie Yuanjing was furious: "Come here, take this quack doctor away and beat him to death."
"Your Majesty, please spare my life!"
The old doctor kept begging for mercy, but was still dragged away.
The remaining imperial doctors were trembling, their bodies shaking violently with fear. If they had a choice, they would rather treat beggars than come to the palace to be imperial doctors.
Xie Yuanjing looked at the other imperial doctors, who became even more trembling, like turtles, fearing that Xie Yuanjing would ask them to diagnose the queen.
Xie Yuanjing's eyes became more and more impatient. They were all a bunch of quack doctors.
"Your Majesty, I'm here to examine the Queen." A young imperial physician spoke up.
After Xie Yuanjing nodded, he walked out and knelt in front of the queen's bed, holding the silk thread and diagnosing it carefully.
After a while, Xie Yuanjing's tone was full of murderous intent: "Have you found out?"
If you can't diagnose the problem, just have him beaten to death.
Yin Le nodded, and then said: "The queen is overworked, and she has caught a cold, which has caused depression in her heart. I will prescribe a medicine for the queen to take, and it will be effective soon."
He made it up.
He was just an apprentice, and his medical skills were only half-baked. He came here just to make up the numbers. He didn't know how to use the advanced technique of 'diagnosing the pulse with a thread', and couldn't tell what the queen's condition was.
In order to survive, I had to make up stories.
"Then go down and get the medicine. If it doesn't work, I'll have you skinned alive."
"I thank your Majesty." Yin Le breathed a sigh of relief, bowed again, and quickly left the scene, fearing that Xie Yuanjing would drag him down and beat him to death the next moment.
After Yin Le left, Xie Yuanjing looked at the other imperial doctors with a sneer.
"You quacks are eating my salary, but now I ask you to treat the queen and you refuse to do so. I think you have no medical skills at all."
"Come here, take them down and chop them all off."
A few hours later, Yin Le's medicine was ready and the palace servant brought it in, but Jiang Nishang refused to drink it.
"Nichang, you're still angry!" Xie Yuanjing snatched the medicine, sat beside the bed, looked at the haggard Jiang Nichang, put her hair behind her ears with his hands, his eyes full of heartache.
"Look at you, you've lost a lot of weight and made yourself sick. How can you not take medicine? Come, I'll feed you."
Jiang Nishang shook off Xie Yuanjing's hand that was feeding her medicine, snorted coldly, and said, "Then let Wang Huanzhi out."
Wang Huanzhi was the son of a military commander, a modest gentleman, as graceful as an orchid or a jade tree, or as gentle as the breeze and bright moon. He gave people a faint sense of detachment, and his talent and learning were exceptionally outstanding. He had already won six first prizes in the imperial examinations when he was just an adult. If nothing unexpected happened, his future would be limitless.
When Xie Yuanjing was still the prince, Jiang Nishang had not yet married Xie Yuanjing, but she had already been in a tragic love relationship with Xie Yuanjing. Today you abuse me, tomorrow I abuse you. In order to make Xie Yuanjing jealous, Jiang Nishang said good things about Wang Huanzhi in front of Xie Yuanjing and wanted to get close to Wang Huanzhi, but was rejected by him. However, Xie Yuanjing still held a grudge against her and continued to cause trouble for Wang Huanzhi from time to time.
After Xie Yuanjing ascended the throne, it was common sense that he could not stand Wang Huanzhi, so he would either demote him or find a reason to kill him.
But Xie Yuanjing's way of thinking was different from that of normal people, so he kept him by his side and flirted with Jiang Nishang in front of him.
It seems to be saying that Jiang Nishang likes me.
This made Wang Huanzhi dumbfounded. He had no such intention at all. He thought these two people were mentally ill and wanted to resign.
As soon as he resigned, Jiang Nishang became anxious and refused to let him go. She also confronted Xie Yuanjing. Xie Yuanjing also became crazy, thinking that Wang Huanzhi wanted to force him to give in by resigning. The most important thing was that Jiang Nishang actually confronted him for Wang Huanzhi. How could he bear this?
Wang Huan was immediately imprisoned and his entire family was wiped out.
Because of this, Jiang Nishang started a cold war with Xie Yuanjing, and she insisted on asking Xie Yuanjing to release Wang Huanzhi at all costs. The more she did this, the angrier Xie Yuanjing became, and he wished he could cut Wang Huanzhi into pieces.
Look, this is what happened today.
"You still miss him now, but you are my queen."
Jiang Nishang did not give in: "Then let me stay sick."
She felt that Xie Yuanjing's desire for control was too strong, making her feel suffocated, so she fell in love with Wang Huanzhi. Wang Huanzhi was polite and gentlemanly, not only good-looking but also very talented. She used Wang Huanzhi to anger Xie Yuanjing and asked Xie Yuanjing to learn more from Wang Huanzhi.
"Okay, okay, you like him that much, right?" Xie Yuanjing gritted his teeth and said, "I will release him and let him serve you well."
The last few words were emphasized.
A few days later, Wang Huanzhi was released, but he... became a eunuch.
"Xie Yuanjing, is this what you meant by letting him out?"
Jiang Nishang looked at Wang Huanzhi who was kneeling on the ground with his head down, and hurried over to help him up, and said with a worried look on her face: "Are you okay?"
Wang Huanzhi lowered his head and did not stand up. He was less cheerful and confident than before and more forbearing. He said word by word, "Empress, I dare not."
There was no emotion in his words.
"Wang Huanzhi, I was going to kill you." Xie Yuanjing looked down at Wang Huanzhi and said, "It was the Queen who begged for mercy. I only killed your family members and now I am letting you serve as the eunuch commander."
Xie Yuanjing's train of thought was indeed different from that of ordinary people. The Eunuch Ling was an official under the Shaofu in the palace, in charge of the eunuchs in the palace, which was equivalent to the head of the eunuchs.
Although he killed Wang Huanzhi's entire family, he also castrated him.
But he made Wang Huanzhi the eunuch commander.
He is the head of the eunuchs, and can be said to have risen to the top in one step.
The other party has to be grateful.
"I thank your majesty and the queen." Wang Huanzhi suppressed his overwhelming hatred, slowly raised his head, and said respectfully: "Your majesty's great kindness, I will remember it in my heart and will never forget it."
…………
Jiangdong County Governor's Mansion.
After talking with Xie Lang, Lu Dongli summoned all the officials in the county to the county governor's mansion to discuss the rebellion.
Xie Lang was sitting in the first seat below and to the right of Lu Dongli, and was extremely conspicuous.
All the officials present supported the rebellion, even if they didn't, they would have to be.
Those who insisted on working for the emperor had long been dealt with by Du Ling.
Lu Dongli calmed down for a long time, and finally had to agree to treason, but he still couldn't open his mouth. Xie Lang stood up at this time.
"The emperor was stupid and cruel. He treated the people as slaves. Those who obeyed him prospered, and those who disobeyed him perished. In order to build a fairyland on earth, he conscripted tens of thousands of people, and many people died on the way to build the fairyland. Taxes and corvée labor became heavier year by year. The people had no food to collect, so they sold their fields, everything in their homes, and themselves. In the end, they could not even sell themselves, and could only starve to death in the wilderness.
In such a situation, how could the people not rebel? And how could my father not rebel?
My father started the rebellion not for his own benefit, but for the benefit of all the people in the world."
It is okay to rebel, but you need a name, a banner, a banner that the people can believe in, a slogan that can call on the world.
Xie Lang has already thought of this flag, which is——
"Serve the people and follow the way, punish the unjust and punish the tyrants."
The purpose of defeating tyrants is not to become emperor or for personal gain, but to restore stability to the people.
"The most urgent task is to win the trust of the people." Xie Lang continued, "How to win the trust of the people? The tyrant is in power, and the harsh rule is more ferocious than a tiger. The people can no longer afford it. Father can issue a proclamation to cancel all corvée labor in the areas under his rule and reduce taxes. The people will no longer have to build a paradise on earth, and they will not be crushed by taxes. In this way, the people will naturally come to him."
The people don’t care who is the emperor, but they still know who can make them live a good life.
Xie Yuanjing asked them to leave their homes and homes to cultivate the immortal realm, where they could die at any time. Not only that, they also had to pay a lot of taxes. Now someone else has replaced them, telling them that they don't have to do labor service, and even their taxes have been reduced a lot. Anyone who is not stupid will know the difference between the two.
"Father can recruit soldiers. Anyone who joins the army will be exempted from taxes for three years. The people will also rush to join the army to avoid taxes. As for recruiting soldiers, I will do it."
This is Xie Lang's goal, to seize the military power, to fight a quick battle, and to attack Chang'an as quickly as possible, so the military power must be in his own hands. As for Lu Dongli, he is good at internal affairs, but he is not capable of leading troops to fight.
"This is a very good suggestion, ma'am."
Someone in the crowd clapped and praised. Wen Yi, dressed in scholar's clothes, looked at Xie Lang with a flash of admiration in his eyes, and then regret. Finally, he said: "But the lady is a woman after all. She is not familiar with military affairs and has no experience in leading troops in battle. Recruiting soldiers is not a joke. It is better to leave it to someone who knows military affairs."
I agree with your point of view, but you cannot be allowed to lead the troops. You have proposed it, but if even the recruitment of soldiers is left to a young lady, wouldn't it make them seem useless?
However, he still respected Xie Lang more in his heart.
It is not easy for someone to come up with this point.
Du Ling sat in his seat, squinting his eyes, as if thinking about something.
Xie Lang was not angry at the rebuttal, but asked back: "Who is the person who knows military affairs you are talking about?"
"Naturally..."
Wen Yi was speechless for a moment. Although Lu Dongli, as the county magistrate, had the power to dispatch troops, there had not been a war for a long time and military affairs had been abandoned for a long time. The total number of soldiers in the county was only more than 2,000, and they were scattered. It was not easy to find someone who could command the troops.
"You can't come, either."
Xie Lang didn't continue to look at him, but asked Lu Dongli: "Father, what do you think?"
"My son is as brave and capable as any man."
Lu Dongli thought about the conversation between Xie Lang and him in the study a quarter of an hour ago.
"Father, what you want is to assist a wise ruler, achieve great achievements that will last for generations, and finally leave your name in history. But the emperor today is by no means a wise ruler. If father serves such a ruler, he will be an accomplice to the tiger, and what will be recorded in history books will only be a disgrace for thousands of years."
"I killed the angel, so my father has no choice but to rebel. Rebellion requires soldiers and horses. Only with strong power can we overthrow Xie Yuanjing's tyranny, but the military power must be in our own hands. I am your only daughter, and others will not accept if I inherit your position. If I want to convince others, the best way is to make military achievements and shut up all those who doubt it."
It was these words that moved Lu Dongli. Xie Lang was right. As a woman, if she wanted to convince others, she could only rely on real achievements.
Flowers grown in a greenhouse will fall when the wind blows. If an eagle wants to soar into the sky, it must first learn to fly.
Thinking of this, Lu Dongli made the final decision: "The matter of recruiting soldiers and buying horses will be fully entrusted to Zhao Ping."
