Chapter six hundred and seventy-two: life is not very kind
Chapter 672: Not very kind
The sound of drums from the Governor's Office came out, and the generals and followers of the battalions in the city felt strange. What should be beaten at this time? Why should the King of Pingxi and the Governor of Taiyuan be involved in life and death?
Later, someone came to report the news that the Taiyuan Grand Governor Wen Xianzhi had all his thirty mouths on his head by King Pingxi, and dozens of heads were hung in front of the Governor's Mansion.
All the generals were shocked. Although they were people from the ranks, killing people was like cutting leeks, and they were all considered cruel people. However, they directly killed a second-rank official's family, but they had never heard of it.
Several generals and followers couldn't sit still at this time and gathered together to ventilate. They said, "Then the King of Pingxi summoned us, should we go?"
Another said: "Killing the governor is a serious crime. If we wait, will the court mistakenly think that we are gang members? It is the same for King Pingxi. If he wants to kill people, we will not hinder him. Just let him go. Now that the governor's family has been killed, we have summoned us to come over. What is this not a cheating person?"
Everyone sighed. When they mentioned this guy, they inevitably showed fear. This guy was simply the lonely star of Tiansha. He went wherever he went. In the past, he even had a reason to kill people. Killing officials and businessmen was the rebellion of officials and businessmen. Killing the Cai family was the crime of deceiving the king, and killing the Jurchen people was the hatred of the country. Today, I didn’t even have a reason. I directly cut off many people’s heads, and even the border army cut hundreds of people down. The border general was always arrogant. Although the officials of the court despised them, they were a little proud on the one-acre and three-point land in the town here. Now I have hit a more ruthless person and have no temper. I have to get out of here. I am summoning them again, and I am wondering whether to go.
Previously, Nadu Si Liang Jian said: "What's the use of saying this now? If we don't go and make the fool of ourselves, we might as well kill you and me next time. So, let's go, let's talk about it. Let's see what he said?"
Everyone felt it was reasonable and said nothing. They held their horses, and they didn't even dare to take their personal guards, for fear that the person surnamed Shen would pick something wrong. Dozens of people bustling together to hit the Grand Governor's Office.
There was a rush of people in front of the Grand Governor's Office, but they were all victims. When the generals saw it, they couldn't help but frown. Fortunately, no one stopped them and gave them a way to let them go. Along the way, there were still a lot of blood on the ground, and the bodies were moved away. Du Si Liang Jian couldn't help but blow his beard and said in his heart that Wen Shang deserved to be a watchdog for the Grand Governor. Fortunately, I did not dispatch troops to stop it, otherwise the blood might have flowed out of my body.
When we arrived at the middle gate, we saw dozens of heads hanging under the eaves, both men and women. Liang Jian felt guilty and looked around and found that the generals and followers were also like this. He couldn't help but wonder, I had seen many dead people in battle on the battlefield, why did my head get cold when I saw a few people today?
They got off the horse outside the door together, saluted to the captain beside the door obediently, and tried to smile as much as possible and said, "Can you inform..."
Before he could finish his words, the captain said to him only: "Your Highness is waiting in the White Tiger Hall for a long time."
Everyone nodded and went in quietly. If it were the past, who would have dared to be so arrogant? There would have been a few who could not help but give them a slap in them. But these people thought that this attitude was really natural and no one said anything.
After walking around the screen wall, there were indifferent lieutenants on both sides, standing straight on the side with a knife, looking at them coldly, Liang Jian and others were very guilty. They finally got to the White Tiger Hall. Then everyone stood up and said outside together: "The prince is here, I will wait for the prince to greet you."
A voice came from inside: "Come in!" and his tone was very rude, as if he was calling his own son and student.
Everyone lowered their heads, went in obediently, and saluted again. Even Chen Ao, who was standing tall in the first place, dared not take a look.
Chen Ao's eyes were calm and said lightly: "Everyone stood up and talked. Now King *** asked you to come. I want to tell you that the Taiyuan Governor Wen Xianzhi condoned the soldiers and killed the people. He was killed today. Taiyuan will not be without a master for a day. Which one is Du Si Liang Jian?"
Liang Jian said, "The last general is."
Chen Aohe nodded and said, "From now on, you will temporarily take up the position of governor and act as military and political leaders. When the imperial court has appointed the governor, you will make a deposit with him."
Liang Jian complained in his heart. He originally served as the governor, but it was definitely not the time. Now that he served as the governor, he would not have to say that there was a King of Pingxi above, but he could only have a puppet. Let’s talk about the imperial envoy who was killed by the governor of Taiyuan and ordered the imperial envoy to punish him. The chief minister said that he would also get the benefit from the King of Pingxi. It is hard to guarantee that no one would suspect that he had an affair with the King of Pingxi. At that time, the Censor impeached him, how could he say that he opened his mouth clearly? This is really a great injustice, and it is simply a life-threatening person.
Liang Jian was not a fool either. After he decided, he knelt on both knees and immediately cried: "Your Highness, please spare me. The last general has an old man and a young man, so he dare not serve as the governor for the time being."
Chen Ao looked at him strangely and said seriously: "You dare not listen to me if I say this? I don't want your life. This is the governor's ministry, you must take the timely reign of you."
The two squads of the captain stood even more straightforward at this time. Liang Jian shouted in his heart: "It's a pity. If you violate the order of King Pingxi today, you may not be able to fall to the ground in an instant. But if you temporarily take over this governor, you will have to involve King Pingxi. At that time, you will be an accomplice. Can you explain the crime of killing Shangguan clearly?"
But at this time, he did not dare to say anything, so he had to say, "The last general will obey the order, and only the leader of the King Pingxi will follow the horse, and he will not dare to violate it."
Chen Ao nodded and smiled, "That's just like that. With Liangdusi helping me, it will be much easier for me to do things in Taiyuan." He looked stern and said, "Liang Jian, since you are the acting governor, I want to ask you, there is no food in the city at the moment, and the people are hungry and cold, what should I do?"
Liang Jian said in his heart that he came, but as expected, he had just been pulled off the pirate ship and was about to take charge of the King of Pingxi.
Liang Jianqi said ai: "This... I thought... I thought..." He could not tell me that I was Chou Yin and Mao. Usually, others gave him some advice. Shangguan gave him an order and he did it. Now he asked him to come and make an idea, which really made it difficult for him.
Chen Ao's face immediately sank and said, "Why, you can't tell me?"
Liang Jian was almost scared to death. This temporary governor was even worse than Governor Wen. The surname Wen died and he died. But I, the old man, could not even die. He had to bite the bullet and said, "I would like to advise you."
Chen Ao smiled lightly and said, "This is interesting. You are the temporary governor, but you are asking about this king."
Liang Jian smiled bitterly and said, "The last general is just a rough man, and he is really unable to bear the heavy responsibility. Why would you better choose another wise man?"
Chen Ao's face became stern again and said, "It's you, why are you shirking? Come out with your ideas, but I can't think of them. All the people of tens of thousands of people are on you. If one of them is frozen to death and starved to death..." Chen Ao slapped the table fiercely and said, "Do you still remember the fate of Wen Xianzhi?"
Liang Jian trembled and said in his heart that King Pingxi really wanted to push me into the fire pit. He had to say timidly: "My general dares not, and My general dares not." As he said that, he knelt obediently on the ground and did not move. Wen Xianzhi was the governor, with great power. Liang Jian was temporarily the governor, and he had to kneel here obediently before his butt was hot. Where did he see any majesty? He was only full of grievances.
Chen Ao asked someone to serve tea, while raising his legs and drinking tea, and then someone brought a book. It was obvious that he wanted to spend money with Liang Jian. Liang Jian deserved to be unlucky, and he was full of thoughts. He wanted to help the victims and had no money and food. Even the emperor, he couldn't come up with his ideas, but he was afraid that he would not have it for a year or two.
Every once incense stick, Chen Ao put down the tea or the book, and asked Liang Jian with a kind look: "Have Governor Liang ever thought of a good plan?"
Liang Jian always wiped his cold sweat and said, "That...that will think about it again."
After spending two hours, Liang Jian was already kneeling so hard that his knees were sore that even the generals around him couldn't bear to see it. Lao Liang was also an experienced border general, and many of them were brought out by him. On the side of the civil servant, even if he was a disciple, he felt wronged for him when he saw him suffering, but no one dared to speak for him. He had to stand like a wood and didn't dare to move for a moment.
Seeing that it was already late, Chen Ao's stomach was empty, Liang Jian was not angry, but instead he became angry, and angrily scolded: "How do you act like a governor? More than 100,000 disaster victims are hungry, just waiting for you to make a decision, but you are so negligent. What is the reason? Could it be that you and Wen Xianzhi are all the same thing, regardless of the life or death of the disaster victims?"
What Liang Jian was most afraid of was that Chen Ao connected him and Wen Xianzhi. At this time, he couldn't care about any face and cried loudly: "The general was incompetent and delayed the prince's affairs. I really couldn't come up with an idea. Please deal with your highness!"
Chen Ao snorted coldly: "Bold, since you have no idea, why do you take a high position and eat a simple meal?"
Liang Jian shouted in his heart, "This high position was the King of Pingxi, you asked me to sit on it, and the corpse position was also His Highness. You must put it on my head. At this time, I blamed me for it. I felt a lot of grievances in my heart, but I still didn't dare to say it, so I had to say, "Give me your life, let me go!"
Chen Ao said with a gloomy face: "After a stick of incense is delayed, many victims are hungry and cold, not to mention that they have been delayed for two hours? If you become an official, you will have a trace of the people in your heart? Come on, take it down, behead your head and show it to the public to serve as a warning!"
After hearing this, Liang Jian was completely dead and shouted loudly: "I will be wronged."
All the generals couldn't bear to see it anymore. This was clearly a scam, so they stood up and said, "Your Highness, Liangdusi has always been law-abiding and a veteran on the battlefield. They have made countless contributions, so why not give him a chance to make up for the merits?" Someone said, "Liangdusi is old and it is common for him to think of it for the time being, so please give him some more time."
Chen Ao's face eased for a moment, and he said lightly: "That's right, Liang Jian, I have heard of you. Although I have made no achievements, I have served the country for the rest of my life. I can't bear to punish you. But now things are urgent, so you have to make an idea."
Liang Jian said in tears: "I really don't know what to do."
Chen Ao sighed and said, "Since that's the case, then I have a suggestion. I wonder if Governor Liang is willing to adopt it?"
Liang Jian lived for most of his life, and had never seen any storms, but he was not as dangerous as today. He just felt that his head was just placed on his neck and was in danger every day. It would be fine if he died. Who would know if Chen Ao would go crazy again and take all his family to settle the accounts. At this time, he felt that he seemed to have been fooled by King Pingxi. King Pingxi said it was a suggestion, but how dare he not follow it? It was obvious that he was asking himself to follow his "suggestions".
He hesitated for a moment and said, "Please tell me!"
