The Palace of Peach and Plum

Chapter 53:

He solved Li Ying’s troubles by himself, and Ling Wei was not worried at all.

Seriously, it’s really funny.

These people also read too much textbooks, right?

Moreover, there were several calls this day, and it must have not been communicated in advance, right?

What’s even more ridiculous is that when these were ineffective, some people took the risk and actually came to assassinate Li Yin and Ling Wei.

Not to mention how angry the court would be if the imperial servant was really assassinated, and these people could not ask for anything good. Let’s say that the place where Ling Wei and others live is guarded by Li Ying’s soldiers. Who can have that ability to run for the assassination?

So the assassin’s fool was quickly caught.

However, Ling Wei was still a little worried.

He didn’t go out very often, and he brought a large group of people when he went out, which didn’t let people succeed.

If it is shopping under normal circumstances and suddenly comes so all of a sudden, he may not be harmless.

What’s more, a prince was still following him.

Li Yin was very angry, and some people actually dared to rebel (killing the prince and the imperial envoy is no different from rebelling). And this silly lack also made other tycoons complain.

It would have been a good choice to have a back road. In the end, I worked with the imperial commission to measure the land and pay taxes. Maybe not only will not be blamed, but there are rewards to get.

The little tricks before have not touched the bottom line, and everything is negotiable.

But the nature of this assassination was different, and it clearly meant rebellion.

If it is in troubled times, death is dead.

Now that Yan Dynasty’s rule is stable, anyone with his head knows that Ganzhou has been secured by the court. Want to rebel in the heyday? Did your head get kicked by a donkey?

Li Ying was eager to interrogate the prisoner to find the murderer, while Ling Wei took advantage of the psychological panic caused by this incident to the tycoons, tried pressure again, and began to implement a series of policies.

The tycoons who don’t want to be suspected are more honest than one at this moment. Even the land that was originally their own has taken out a part of it to show that they have a red heart for Yan Chao.

Ling Wei’s work progress accelerated a lot in an instant. The tired person who measured the land and made the register turned on their backs, and Ling Wei and the prince were both affected.

The prince said bitterly, “I haven’t eaten a good meal for a long time, and I eat dry food every day.”

“Suffering from bitterness, he is a master.” Ling Wei was very moved. Although the pampered prince complained occasionally, he never expressed resistance or dissatisfaction, which is really rare.

“When I go back, I must have a good meal.” The prince bit a bite of the steamed bun viciously, and then took a sip of cold water.

In fact, I am very hungry, and the dry food is still good. The prince thought.

In fact, Ling Wei didn’t want to do it personally in the first place-these fine work should actually be done by a small official.

Although Ling Wei brought a lot of people, Ganzhou also had a lot of arable land. That’s all, the key is that Ling Wei wants to test and promote new grains in Ganzhou.

It is very difficult for them to grow crops that they have never seen before on the cultivated land near the capital.

But Ganzhou is all “wasteland” here, and there is nothing to grow. Since it is the land distributed by the imperial court, it is acceptable to grow the grains required by the imperial court in the past few years.

And Ling Wei also brought a batch of food to eat, ready to wait until the land was ready, the tax was implemented, and then he used the new grain to feast the guests. Let them eat it in their mouths, knowing that this is a good thing. If the upper-level feudal masters here think that it is a good thing from the capital, then they will be forced to follow the trend in time, and they will also ask for seeds for planting.

But now these things have to be kept secret, and the effect will not be so obvious when they are not launched later. So only a handful of people knew about it.

In addition to Ling Wei and the prince, it is Sinongsi Shaoqing Hu Chen who was demoted from the Qing Dynasty.

The three of them led a team to survey the land separately to see what kind of crops the land is suitable for planting.

This promotion of new crops is not just about distributing the seeds. The artisans they brought will use the conditions of soil quality and water supply to determine which land can be planted with what crops, and during the planting process, the group of people brought by Ling Wei and Hu Chen will also guide the whole process.

This kind of agricultural technical guidance was also adopted by the emperor when Ling Wei once said that he missed his mouth in the “Flicker” to the emperor, and then asked Sinong Temple to try to promote it.

Near the capital, good results have been achieved.

Therefore, this time Hu Chen enthusiastically wanted to show off outside the capital.

Ling Wei respects such officials who do practical things. Perhaps this kind of official does not have the reputation in the history books as the literati minister who finds presence every day, but this kind of official is much more useful to the country and the people than those who do nothing to admonish every day.

And even though it was a meritorious service plus an orthodox imperial examination, Hu Chen was able to go down to the ground with farmers and craftsmen to discuss together. Although he certainly had some prestige, there was absolutely no discrimination.

Such people are really rare.

Ling Wei watched the prince’s attitude towards Hu Chen getting better and better, and gradually became more respectful from incomprehension, and he was very happy.

The prince should have more contact with officials like Hu Chen. The so-called major national events are to start from bit by bit. The prince is in a solid position anyway, so instead of talking to the conspirators about governing the country, it is better to learn how to do things practically.

Yan Chao is already stable. With the age and motivation of the emperor, during his tenure, Yan Chao’s hidden worries will be removed. The prince is the ruler of the country, and the most important thing is to be willing to do practical things.

Although Hu Chen had not seen the prince up close, his eyesight was not bad, and he could see that the prince was definitely not a child of the ruined clan. The royal people are confirmed, but it is not clear which prince’s son is. But this person must have a high status.

Hu Chen saw that Ling Wei intends to let the prince contact him, and signaled himself to teach the prince more. He did not hesitate to tell all his experiences and ideas. The prince’s learning ability is very strong. At first, he may have been a little flamboyant and impetuous, but now he is at ease. Hu Chen was very pleased to do things more and more neatly, and to ask questions more and more meaningful.

If this is really a useful prince and grandson, then its growth will definitely be of great use to the country and the people.

Of course, when he later learned that this was the prince, it was not a surprise but a fright, and he walked around Ling Wei from then on.

It can be seen that not everyone is the same as Ling Wei, dragging the prince around, still very calm.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Ling Wei has made great progress here, and Li Ying has also found out the clues there.

Just as Li Yin closed the net, Ling Wei and others were attacked again.

The attack was open and honest, and some people used bows and arrows.

Ling Wei faced death for the first time.

But he didn’t have any fear at this time—maybe he was too scared and nervous, but he couldn’t feel any emotions, so he thought about how to protect the prince and protect himself.

He first regretted how he was with the prince today and let the prince be attacked. Later, I was fortunate that these people could not be killed separately. The prince was by his side, and he could at least look after him.

Although Ling Wei was a scholar who had no power to restrain the chicken before, after the careful guidance of the master riding and shooting master in the palace and later Li Ying, he had made a lot of hard work because he wanted to be a role model for the prince. There is no problem with shooting arrows with a bow or slashing with a knife.

It’s just that facing the target and facing the person are two different things, and his hand shakes unconsciously. Even if someone cuts a knife on his side, he can’t make up his mind to cut it back.

Normal people will be melancholy about hacking people.

But when the guard who he knew or even knew the name fell down in front of him, and blood sprayed on his face, the timidity and melancholy suddenly evaporated. Ling Wei talked about the knife and cut one by one with red eyes. The fierceness was no less than that of the surrounding guards and the assassins who flew up.

The prince was guarded by Ling Wei, and he was shocked at the very beginning – at this point, Ling Wei’s psychological quality was better, at least he was sober. But when Ling Wei started to hack people without hesitation, the prince also came to his senses.

He knows that although his martial arts is good, but his small body is definitely useless to fight against people. After all, he is not his uncle Wang, he was eleven or twelve years old

Can lead soldiers to fight and win again and again. But being small also has small benefits. Although they can’t bring bows and arrows when they come out, but…

The prince took out a slingshot from his arms, a bag full of iron balls, and hit!

Then the man who was attacking Ling Wei was hit in the nose, wailed, and was cut straight by Ling Wei.

Ling Wei turned his head and looked at the prince who was still holding a slingshot, although his face was horrified, wiped his face when the guards called to protect “Little Master” and let “Little Master” hide. On the blood, he said with a smile: “Father Tiger has no dogs, he is worthy of being the son of Uncle! Follow me behind my back, give me a cover, and I’ll be hit!”

The prince was affirmed by Ling Wei, and his panic disappeared a bit: “Okay! Together!”

After all, one person supports with a slingshot and iron ball, and one person hacks people with a big knife. In addition, the surrounding guards are not vegetarian. Although the number is smaller than the assassins, they really can’t help them for a while.

After insisting on about a stick of incense, many people on both sides died. Ling Wei and the prince were surrounded by the guards. Except for the defense of bows and arrows, there was basically no danger. They had already begun to enter the tug of war. , I suddenly remembered the neighing of horses’ hoofs and horses.

As soon as Ling Wei raised his head, his heart finally fell to the real point: “Yingfei!”

Li Yin was full of sullen expression. The cavalry he led quickly rushed to disperse the assassin. He rushed to the front, rolled over and dismounted, and took the blood-stained Ling Wei and the prince in his arms.

“It’s okay, Chang Geng and I are okay.” Ling Wei felt Li Ying’s trembling and hurriedly comforted, “This is not my blood, I am not injured.”

The prince also muttered: “Uncle Wang, I’m fine, Jintang protects me. But Jintang has something to do, he was cut off.”

Ling Wei: “…”

bad boy! Is it time to say such things! Do you think your uncle Wang was not stimulated enough?

Sure enough, when Li Ying heard it, his eyes were immediately bloodshot. In that way, he almost wanted to smash the assassins around him: “Where did it hurt?!”

Ling Wei smiled dryly: “A cut was made in his left arm, it’s not a cut, it has been tied tightly with cloth, and there is no bleeding.”

The prince was depressed: “It’s all too useless for me.”

Ling Wei said: “If there is no Chang Geng to support me, I will definitely suffer more than this kind of injury. Chang Geng does not blame me for making you scared.”

The prince shook his head hurriedly: “I want to go to the battlefield too, what is this.”

Without saying a word, Li Ying pulled Ling Wei’s left arm wrapped in rags to look closely.

In order to treat the wounded as soon as possible, there were doctors who followed, and the soldiers led by Li Ying also knew how to bandage the wounds. It was safe now, and someone immediately fetched the wound medicine and water bladder to re-dress the wound for Ling Wei.

Li Ying took the wound medicine and the water bag and carefully cleaned the wound for Ling Wei.

Ling Wei kept frowning. Just too nervous, I haven’t felt it yet. Why does it hurt so much now.

“You’re light…ah, don’t cry.” Ling Wei watched as Li Ying was applying medicine to his wound, but he started to weep. He hurriedly said, “Isn’t I okay? Just a small wound.”

“I didn’t cry, sand got into my eyes.” Li Yin rubbed his eyes and said in a deep voice.

Ling Wei closed his mouth. Well, let the sand get in the sand.

Just as Li Ying stopped here, the crown prince looked at Ling Wei’s incredibly hideous wound from the outside, and began to shed tears.

“It’s all my fault.” The prince blamed himself very much. If it wasn’t for that he didn’t react and paused for a while, Ling Wei wouldn’t use his arm to block the knife.

If he is not so weak that he can only use a slingshot to hit people, if he can also use a knife and spear to fight alongside Ling Wei, it will not become a burden to Ling Wei.

“Chang Geng has guarded me so many times, but once I have guarded Chang Geng, how come I can’t be called bad?” Ling Wei now tried his best to pull out a peaceful smile, not even daring to frown his brows. This man, both young and old, actually started to lose golden beans. He felt that he was guilty.

“Yeah.” The prince rubbed his eyes, then rubbed his nose, and began to beat his Uncle Wang.

When Qian Jie and Hu Chen arrived anxiously, it was this warm picture that didn’t match the **** background.

“I have seen the prince.” When Qian Jie heard the news, he almost fainted in no hurry. Anyway, he is still a politician now, and there is such an arrogant thing on his territory, let alone the black hat, can his head be kept!

And this gangster has been cleansed up, where did such an arrogant group of people come from?

“It’s a Turk.” Li Yin’s face was pale, “Some people have taken refuge in the Turk…or rather, they have always been Turkic traitors.”

Qian Jie staggered and almost fell over.

Before Ling Wei said the charge of “treason”, Qian Jie knew that it was frightening people. As a result, there really appeared a true traitor to the enemy. Qian Jie felt that his heart was almost stopped.

“Xiaguan…Xiaguan…” Qian Jie hesitated for a long time, but couldn’t say a complete sentence.

His head was blank now, and the brilliance he was proud of before seemed to fly away.

“This matter has nothing to do with Qian Cishi, Qian Cishi does not have to blame himself.” Seeing Li Yin’s face and not speaking, Ling Wei had to make a round of it by himself, “Next, Qian Cishi needs to cooperate with him, so that this group of traitors can be wiped out in one fell swoop. ”

“That’s natural!” Qian Jie breathed a sigh of relief. With Ling Wei’s words, he should… still be fine, “The lower officials must try their best to assist!”

“The Turks haven’t been beaten enough yet.” Li Yin looked fierce.

“Calm, calm, go back and talk.” Ling Wei retracted the wound that had been re-bandaged, looked around the injured…even dead guards and ordinary craftsmen, feeling very sad and indignant.

He felt that he didn’t feel afraid now, it must be because of hatred and sadness.

“…Well…convergence, whether you are going home or where you are, you will have to bury it.” Ling Wei choked and couldn’t continue.

Whether it is a generous burial or a pension, can these lives be worth it?

Ling Wei has a good memory, and he can recall the face of everyone who died. What he has seen, the bits and pieces of these people’s lives can be recalled.

Just like the guard who sprayed blood all over him at the beginning, he remembered that just a few days ago, he was still showing off his son who was just born before leaving Beijing.

That’s it, life is gone, it’s all gone.

Ling Wei felt that he couldn’t just let it go.

In time, he couldn’t lead the army to fight like Li Ying, and for those people, he would never forget that.

Ling Wei had been living in a peaceful environment before, and he had seen it in history books and heard it in other people’s mouths. The aggression surrounding Yan Chao

And harassment, but after all, there is no real feeling.

After seeing it with his own eyes, he knew how unforgettable this hatred was.

He decided that even if he disrupted his future plans, he would even go against his original intention to live a stable life. This matter, this hatred, would definitely not be forgotten.

Otherwise, those vivid faces in his memory will become his lifelong nightmare.

“Go back.” Li Ying knew that people who faced such a tragic scene for the first time would feel more or less uncomfortable. Ling Wei and the prince have survived so far, it has not been easy.

Ling Wei nodded, took the crown prince, and got on the horse.

Before leaving, the prince looked back and said, “I…this is the first time I have seen a dead person.”

Although some palace members were punished and died before, they would not be in front of him. It was the first time he saw so much blood.

“Is it scary?” Ling Wei asked.

“Horrible.” The prince lowered his head, “I hate this feeling.”

“In the north, southeast, southwest, and west, there are people everywhere looking at us Yan Chao, and people are always invading our Yan Chao’s land.” Ling Wei raised his whip, “The soldiers are fighting **** battles all the time.”

“I know… the North has been beaten by Uncle Wang to be honest, and the war in the southeast has not yet settled.” The prince frowned.

Ling Wei raised his eyebrows: “I can’t say that. There are good people who are not of my race. People who just dare to offend us can’t tolerate it.”

“Look, I teach you to read history books. For those dynasties that wanted the so-called peaceful settlement, and gave gifts to their relatives, which one of the dynasties solved the problem and stopped the aggression of the foreigners? Only when they are scared can there be peace on the frontier. , Guotai Min’an.” Ling Wei sighed, “I really want those scums who are clamoring to give money to women to other races and don’t fight, come to the frontier to take a look.”

The prince murmured: “Jintang, the scum you are talking about are important officials in the court…but I think so too.”

“With your majesty and you, everything will be fine.” Ling Wei said.

Li Ying rode up to follow him, his face very ugly.

He wanted to ride Ling Wei with him. As for the prince… he was not injured, so he rode himself.

But Ling Wei pulled the prince to ride with him, so he could only follow behind, in a very bad mood, especially bad.

“Uncle Wang, isn’t the Turk already afraid of being beaten?” Probably because of today’s excitement, the prince was not too afraid of Li Yin, and dared to talk to Li Yin who was facing the stinky face.

Li Ying said coldly: “I’m afraid of being beaten, but it’s not being beaten to death. It’s because I’m afraid of being beaten that I will make small moves.”

It’s just that this time, the prince was hit and hit by mistake, and it almost really hurt the prince.

If it was not determined after the interrogation that those people really only wanted to deal with Ling Wei, he would have thought that the identity of the prince had been exposed.

It just so happened to take this opportunity to drive the prince back. Li Yin thought.

The prince did not know that Li Ying had made up his mind to send him away.

After Ling Wei and the prince went back, they washed off the blood on their bodies and slept for a day and night before getting up.

This battle still cast a big shadow in their hearts.

Fortunately, both of them had good psychological qualities, supported by hatred, and soon walked out of the shadows and began gearing up to retaliate.

The crown prince was stimulated by this incident to become a firm main fighter, and after he became the throne, he was even more fierce towards aliens who dared to invade and make trouble.

And Ling Wei had already begun to draw a map, planning how to dig a hole for the foreign race, and used his profit to persuade the minister of the DPRK to follow him in digging the hole.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

When Hu Chen arrived at the scene of the battle, as a literati, although not very weak, he was frightened and speechless for a while.

Fortunately, he adjusted it soon afterwards. When Ling Wei and the prince were resting, he summoned the staff to continue their work, and asked the emperor to send more staff.

Li Yin must have the final say on the compensation. Hu Chen was inconvenient to intervene. He also believed that Li Yin would not treat those people wrongly.

However, the work of Sinong Temple must continue, and it must continue to send farmers and craftsmen. This is his business.

He was also agitated.

Help the locals to eat and wear warmly, but they were assassinated. How can they bear it? After knowing that he was an alien, Hu Chen gritted his teeth. No wonder, this kind of not seeing Yan Chao is good, isn’t it a foreign race?

Those rotten confucians who clamored to “convince people with virtue” and use benevolence and righteousness to influence the Turks should all come to the frontier, and when they see the ferocity of the foreign race, let’s talk about how to convince people with virtue!
