Chapter 1620: Sold the Emperor for a good price
Min Ruoxi's words have been made very clear. The idea of these families to become a special existence and retain the land they own should not exist at all, but the Ming Dynasty is willing to give them other compensation.
For example, His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty accepted a concubine.
If this matter can be accomplished, then everyone will become royal relatives of the Ming Empire. Not to mention anything else, at least the family's continuous inheritance of dozens or hundreds of years will be a natural thing.
Everyone was in a state of great excitement and did not notice that Eunuch Le walked to the door of the hall, took something from a person, and handed it to Min Ruoxi after coming back.
Min Ruoxi opened the military newspaper sent by Tian Kang, glanced at him a few times, couldn't help but chuckled, and threw the military newspaper at Xie Cheng: "You can take a look at this!"
Xie Cheng took the military newspaper, opened it and looked at it for only a few seconds. His hands couldn't help but tremble again. He handed the general newspaper to another person beside him. The next moment, the person's body also trembled.
When they came out, there were still tens of thousands of troops in Nandaying, Feng Dao's army was ready to go to rescue, and Yanglingyi, which was an army of 60,000 to 70,000. How long has it been since the 60,000 troops disappeared?
Feng Dao was defeated, and Lan Sixin not only failed to defend Nandaying, but also lost his life. Yanglingyi was surrounded like an iron barrel. After this battle, one of his arms had been broken in the capital.
"Everyone, you can't do anything to help you in time. The rest is just to add icing on the cake. If you can't do it well, and it will eventually become a temporary change of Buddha's feet. Then Buddha will not be happy because he is not sincere!" Min Ruoxi said with a smile.
Xie Cheng suddenly stood up and bowed to Min Ruoxi: "Empress, Caomin said goodbye. After returning, he would report all this to his brother. Caomin thought that his brother would definitely think that he would return to the Daming Sun and Moon as soon as possible."
After reading this military newspaper, the other people also expressed their opinions. Min Ruoxi's last words undoubtedly told them that this was the last chance. If they didn't grasp it, they were afraid that everything they had now would turn into a moon in the water and a flower in the mirror.
Xie Cheng and his friends hurriedly said goodbye. Min Ruoxi touched Xiao Wu's head beside him and asked with a smile: "Xiao Wu, come here today, do you see something?"
"Mother, these people are not loyal to the Ming Dynasty. They only value their own interests." Xiao Wu thought for a while and said.
"Yes, what should we do? Can we kill them?" Min Ruoxi asked,
"Of course not!" Xiao Wu shook his head repeatedly, "The father told me that loyalty and unfaithfulness are not the most important thing. The important thing is to make the interests of everyone in one direction. As long as everyone's interests are consistent, they can cooperate. These people are not loyal to the Ming Dynasty, but they are useful to us. Therefore, as long as we tie their interests together, we are not afraid that they will not be honest in doing things for us."
Min Ruoxi's eyes glowed when she heard this, while Eunuch Le was amazed.
"When did your father tell you these things? When did the queen mother talk about him and she would have more fights when she saw him being with you on weekdays?" Min Ruoxi asked curiously.
"That's what I said at these times, but when my father talks about these things, they are all full of hammers and sticks. But Xiao Wu will summarize it himself after hearing it!" Xiao Wu said with his head raised.
"Xiao Wu is so smart!" Min Ruoxi said happily.
"Congratulations to Empress Wu, His Highness Wu's natural and intelligent nature is amazing." Eunuch Le also said with interest.
"I can't see anything now. I'm just picking up his father's Yahui. Xiao Wu, what if one day the interests of these people are inconsistent with ours?" Min Ruoxi continued to ask.
Xiao Wu smiled, and two neat rows of white teeth shone: "Mother, I am the knife and the fish. If they cannot always keep the same interests as ours, then will they still be necessary? Even the five great men of Shayang are desperately trying to keep up with our dynasty and entangle themselves with the interests of the court more and more closely, forming a situation where one prospers and one loss and one loss, what do they count as?"
"But have you ever thought about it? If such an entanglement is too deep, it will make the court afraid of it?" Min Ruoxi asked.
Xiao Wu was stunned: "This, this, mother, I haven't thought so deeply."
"It's already good." Min Ruoxi smiled and said, "This is such a big article. Don't talk about you. Even your father must handle these things carefully. Looking back, I will tell your father that in addition to studying every day, you will go to your father's study and listen to your father's discussions with the ministers."
"Yes." Xiao Wu nodded.
Min Ruoxi led Xiaowu and stood up and walked outward. Eunuch Le followed suit.
"Mr. Le, what do you think of these Chu families?"
"Empress, I have to say that they are far behind those big families in Qi State." Eunuch Le said justice.
"The Qi family has been passed down for thousands of years, and many of them were inherited from the time when the Tang Dynasty was first established. Even the Xie family is only two hundred years old." Min Ruoxi nodded: "It is indeed impossible to compare. Compared with the Qi family, they are really some children. By the way, have the arrangements of the Qi family arranged corresponding solutions?"
"Your Majesty said, just wait and see. If these people want to make a comeback, they must make a career in the Ming Dynasty. If you want to say that these people are smart and talented, they are indeed the best choice. Your Majesty means that since these people will definitely work hard to fight for the Ming Dynasty at this stage, what reason is there not to be?" Eunuch Le said justice.
Min Ruoxi nodded and stopped talking. The group walked towards Huanhua Creek in the peach forest.
Hearing the laughter of Qin Feng and his daughter from afar, the fragrance even thrusts into his nose. Xiao Wu gusted and swallowed.
Turning over a dense peach blossom forest, I saw Qin Feng and Xiao Wen grilling fish happily in front of a barbecue grill. The fish were already roasted to brown, and the aroma was emitted from these grilled fish.
"Are you finished talking?" Qin Feng looked up at Min Ruoxi, "I must be hungry after talking for so long. Let's grill the fish together!"
"Good!" Xiao Wu ran over excitedly. Murong Hai in front of the barbecue grill made a fish in a timely manner with an iron tag and handed it to Xiao Wu.
Xiaowen, who was on the side, took a bite with the grilled fish.
"Sister, give me a bite!" Xiao Wu swallowed.
"No, I caught this fish myself, and I also roasted it myself." Xiao Wen immediately took his own grilled fish and ran away from a distance.
"So stingy!" Xiao Wu rolled his eyes and put down the fish in his hand. "General Murong, I want to roast the fish I caught."
"Okay, Your Highness Wu, please!" Mu Ronghai smiled and picked up the fishing rod on the side, accompanied Xiao Wu towards Huanhua Creek.
However, Qin Feng and his wife ignored the two little guys' affairs and handed the roasted golden fish to Min Ruoxi. Qin Feng asked, "The talk went smoothly?"
"Of course!" Min Ruoxi said with a smile: "Sell you for a good price?"
"What?" Qin Feng widened his eyes, looked at Min Ruoxi just caring about eating fish and ignoring him, and then turned his eyes to Eunuch Le.
Eunuch Le smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, the Empress told them that you are going to take a concubine, and she also praised the girls in their families for their good looks, so after these people go back, they will definitely send the best ladies in the family."
Qin Feng was furious: "Who said I wanted to take a concubine?"
"I'm talking about it!" Min Ruoxi flicked her slender finger, and a fishbone flew out, nailing a flying peach blossom onto the trunk. "The male protagonist outside and the female protagonist inside, I naturally have the final say in the inner palace. Outsiders say that I am a tigress and you are not allowed to take concubines. You and your ministers don't know how bad things have you said behind your back. This time I will show them that it is not only from Chu, but also from the west, and from Qi in the future."
Qin Feng stared at Min Ruoxi with wide eyes.
"What do I do when I look at it like this? Marriage has always been a good way to connect with all forces and a good symbol of stabilizing the place, especially the royal marriage. Besides, our family is too thin, and it is time to spread the branches and leaves. Xiao Wu will have more helpers in the future."
"I'm not a stallion!" Qin Feng said angrily.
"Don't behave yourself when you get a cheaper one!" Min Ruoxi snorted, gnawed a few bites of fish and said, "Yanglingyi is about to be caught, I'm going to go there."
Qin Feng nodded: "How about I go with you?"
Min Ruoxi shook her head: "You are the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, how can you go to Yangling County?"
Min Ruoxi's father and mother were buried in Yangling City. Min Ruoxi was supposed to go there to pay tribute, but it was not appropriate for Qin Feng to pass.
Yanglingyi was already surrounded by iron barrels. Except for the Kaiguan Ning and Han Huafeng troops who were still stationed in Bowangpo, the rest of the troops were all concentrated here.
Lu Wenpei was sitting on the top of the city with a blood-stained sword. The once strong city wall was now full of holes, and there were broken walls and ruins everywhere after the collapse.
He knew that Yangling City could no longer be defended. Almost all the long-range weapons in the city had been destroyed by the enemy. After a day of fighting with the enemy, less than half of the remaining seven thousand brave soldiers in the city were left. The next enemy attack was the end of his own.
Looking at the thunder fires slowly moving forward, Lu Wenpei closed his eyes.
The drums were heard again, and the rumbling sounds continued. Countless stone bullets and iron bullets fell from the sky with huge wind. Teams of Ming soldiers held large shields and advanced step by step.
The remaining soldiers of the Fire Phoenix Army were avoiding stone bullets falling from the sky in some cramped places. It was not until the Ming soldiers began to climb the city and began to pour in from some gaps that bursts of shouts broke out in the city. The soldiers of the Fire Phoenix Army held up their swords and guns and killed them from their hiding place.
