Chapter 181: King of Diligence?

In private, Wu Qiu, the princess who had just returned from the county office, comforted his wife and children. The family thought that yin and yang were separated, but they never expected that they could be reunited. It was a moment of sadness and joy, and only sighed that the world was impermanent.

Wu Qiu had followed the army to Xuanhu to quell the chaos, but he was caught in a hiding halfway through the road. Arrows on both sides of the road were raining. He fell off his horse and fell to death on the spot, and was then captured by the other party.

I thought my life would be lost, but the other party took him back to Xuanhu. Not only did he say he had good food, drinks and entertainment, he also asked him to go to the General Administration Office for a walk. This turn was amazing, and he was so shocked that he had not yet fully recovered.

"Okay, okay, don't cry, am I okay?"

"I think I think I think I think... Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo..."

The family only said that Wu Qiu was dead, but he appeared at the door just now. Wu's wife was so scared that she almost fainted. Wu Qiugang said a few words to his wife and children and was interrupted by the housekeeper, saying that a guest was visiting.

The Wu family is a local big family in Ruyang, otherwise he would not have been appointed as the princess's clerk by the county magistrate. He has many relatives and friends in the local area, which means he has a wide connection and many friends.

Wu Qiu, who was either killed in battle or captured, could actually come back with all his strength. Of course, relatives and friends would come to visit him as soon as possible. As for what the other party actually wanted to do, Wu Qiu knew it very well.

After he returned to the city, he immediately went to the county magistrate and told him about his experience in Xuanhu. After all, this was also what the "over there" requested. As for how the county magistrate would decide, it has nothing to do with him.

As a local wealthy family in Ruyang, even if the county magistrate dares to kill someone to silence the guard, he has to consider the consequences. He has many relatives and many relatives in-laws in the Wu Qiu family, which is not easy to bully!

so...

"Brother Wu, what happened to Xuanhu?"

"What do you think?"

In the study, Wu Qiuzheng had a close conversation with several friends that everyone was their own, so the key news at critical moments must be shared, otherwise one wrong step would be a complete loss.

"Brother Wu, those cavalrymen with unknown origins have spread their proclamations everywhere these days. It's true and false, it's really at a loss... What happened to Xuanhu?"

"The chief supervisor is finished, and the few assistants are finished. The one who leads the troops to steal the city is the one-legged bronze man from Huangzhou."

"It's him! Why...why..." Those people were shocked by the news and couldn't even close their mouths.

Xiyang's increasingly prosperous industries have attracted merchants from all over the world. They have spread the story of the one-legged bronze man fighting the top of Xiyang to all places. The wealthy families in Ruyang have heard people mention this ridiculous story.

Although they laughed it off after hearing it, the name of the one-legged bronze man left a deep impression on them.

"What? Guangcheng is over, Song An is over, Xuanhu is over, Guess what else I saw in the General Administration Office? It is the head of the governor of Shenzhou!"

As soon as Wu Qiu finished speaking, everyone present took a breath. The rumors of something happening in Guangcheng and Song An have reached Ruyang, and what the local wealthy people are worried about is how the situation will develop in the future.

The Huangzhou General Manager is a one-legged bronze man, whose name is Yuwen... cold or hot or warm? The wealthy people don't care or want to know, but they know that the court is going to eradicate the Yuwen family. The official army was dying in a fierce manner, so why was this person who took the lead?

"I don't know how he copied it. Do you know who else I saw in the official office?"

"who?"

"Be today!"

"Ah? Xinjun isn't Gangji... Wait, are you talking about the dead emperor?"

"That's right!"

"No, you haven't been to Yecheng yet, how do you know the emperor's appearance?"

Faced with doubts, Wu Qiu's answer was shocking news: "I have never seen it before, but I have seen it as the chief executive of the General Administration. He was by the emperor at that time, and he was very respectful!"

"You probably know that the temper of the Gu Cao official is not a person who is afraid of death, nor is he a flatterer. If that person is fake, he will not recognize him even if he dies!"

This news is amazing. The court has announced that the emperor is seriously injured and cannot be cured. The new emperor succeeded to the throne, fearing that the people in the world will not know it, so he made announcements everywhere. At that time, the governor of Ruyang specially summoned wealthy families to the county office and read out the imperial edict in public.

As a result, the emperor is not dead yet!

Then what? Everyone goes to Xuanhu to conquer the king?

Is your brain burned? What does it matter if you are a human or a dog sitting on the throne?

The world has been quarreled for hundreds of years, with the Yellow River and the Huai River in Henan and the Huai River in Henan. It is the front line of confrontation between the north and the south. There are surnames, wealthy families and wealthy families in various places have suffered heavy casualties in the hundreds of years of tug-of-war. Even if those who survived were stupid at the time, they are now smart.

Everything is fake, but how to continue the family bloodline is the real one!

Betting on both sides, betting on the snake, the head and rat are both ends, and the fence-headed grass falls. After all, it is just one or three words: know the current affairs.

Wu Qiu and a few friends are most concerned about now, but how their families survived this storm. The emperor is real, and the Yuchi family is powerful, so it is real. Which side does it take to choose?

Prime Minister Yuchi just made a beggar the emperor, and everyone had to pinch his nose and recognize him!

"In my opinion, let's watch it on the wall. Sooner or later, the court sent a large army to attack Xuanhu. Who wouldn't be too eye-catching and run to Xuanhu to serve the king? But before that, don't go out of the city to die, don't you?"

"Brother Wu is talking about...I wonder how powerful Xuan Hu is there?"

"Where can I see the truth in the city? But the one-legged bronze man actually came. Don't you find it strange?"

"How do you say this?"

Although Wu Qiu was just a little princess, he had more official documents in hand. He was naturally not inferior to his knowledge when it came to being well-informed. He began to give a reminder:

"This person should be in Lingbiao. Not long ago, the official army was still attacking the Five Passes of Dabie Mountains in Guangzhou. What's the result?"

"You mean, the one-legged bronze man defeated the government army in Guangzhou? How is this possible? The government army's strength is probably no less than 10,000!"

"Everyone has fallen into Xuanhu! Guangzhou is over, Xizhou is over, Shenzhou is over, I think Yongzhou is over, and the troops in the south of the mountain climb over Tongbai Mountain and Dabie Mountain. The territory has been connected to Xuanhu. Only the one-legged bronze man dares to scramble with the emperor on Xuanhu!"

"Then us?"

"Watch the show. Before the main force of the government army comes to Yuzhou, everyone stays in Ruyang City and don't run around. If Xuanhu sends troops to attack, surrender if it should be. Don't be foolish! At worst, it's okay after the government army comes!"

Wu Qiusheng was afraid that everyone would not understand, so he could not help reminding again: "This time I was in Xuanhu. Some of the officials from several other counties were arrested and some were earned. I thought they were summoned by the emperor and then sent back to spread the news. Other counties and counties would definitely pretend to be crazy and stupid, so we should not make the heads."

"If the county magistrate can't figure it out, he will organize troops to help the suppression. As long as everyone deals with the situation, if the situation is not good, surrender. If there are old and young people at home, why should you follow outsiders to fight for your life?"

"If he wins a battle, he will make great achievements. But Ruyang's fellow villagers suffer heavy casualties, so what can he get!"

In this era, in the local officialdom, except for the chief officials and the superior officials, most of the other assistant officials were held by local officials, such as the governor of the state, the chief officials, and the Sima were appointed by the court. However, the chief officials were generally appointed by the other officials, and the governors were generally appointed. The locals were appointed, and the county officials were also appointed.

This is the result of a compromise between the central court and the local tribes. Especially for the county magistrates, the opinions of local tribes can greatly influence the final decision.

If it is on weekdays, the big families dare not fight against the county magistrate unless they have to. But at the critical moment, the county magistrate must consider the opinions of the big families, otherwise they will not know when they will be sold.

The wealthy families have tenant farmers, farmers, and even troops, private soldiers. If several wealthy families collude, the number of private soldiers on hand is at least not inferior to that of the county magistrates. If the enemy is in front of the enemy, the county magistrate will not receive the support of the local wealthy families, and they will either abandon the city and flee, or be offered to the city in the middle of the night, and the whole family will die.

Wu Qiu and others are big families in Ruyang. They cannot accomplish things but can ruin things, so the county magistrates dare not threaten too much. Of course, if the imperial army comes, it would be different, but now, self-protection is important.
