Chapter 297 Suddenly So Tough
Jiang Sheng looked at these people.
Every one of them is a murderer.
Concubine Chun back then, members of the Jiang family, and so many people have died in the palace over the years.
Now it is their turn to be punished.
Jiang Sheng left with a big laugh.
He wanted someone to send the letter to the front line as quickly as possible, and read it out in front of the people of Chu so that everyone would know and see what kind of people the people of Chu were.
The emperor was very busy for the next few days.
There are many things he needs to deal with.
The main focus is on cleaning out the Chu spies and the remnants of the eldest prince.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he finally finished all these things.
However……
"The Princess of Jing is fake?" The emperor felt like he was listening to a fairy tale and looked at Jiang Sheng in disbelief.
Is the Liu family really so bold?
Even if Prince Jing was seriously ill, they could either not marry or marry him obediently. Now that Prince Jing was dead, could the emperor still treat his brother's widow harshly?
But I don’t know if the Liu family has something wrong with their brains to do such a thing.
The emperor said to Jiang Sheng, "I remember that Madam Liu's maiden name is Miao, and she is very powerful in Yongzhou?"
Yongzhou is in the east. The emperor has dealt with the powerful people in the northwest and southwest, and is worried that he has no chance to deal with these people in the east.
I was so sleepy and someone gave me a pillow.
As his cousin's close friend, Jiang Sheng instantly understood what the emperor meant.
He smiled and said, "They are from the east, but they are just a second-rate family."
The emperor narrowed his eyes. It didn’t matter if it was a second-rate family, as long as it could give his people a reason to go to Yongzhou smoothly.
So Yan Wenjie was called into the palace.
He thought that he had made great contributions by catching a spy from the State of Chu not long ago, and the emperor would promote him.
He was extremely excited, and the flowers, plants, and trees around him seemed full of life.
An Jiu just brought in tea and saw Yan Wenjie looking so happy. She wondered if something good had happened to him.
Got promoted?
An Jiu served tea. She turned her back to Yan Wenjie, blocking his sight. The emperor took the opportunity to make a face at her. After An Jiu left, he returned to his serious look, looking superior and imposing. Yan Wenjie was frightened so much that he dared not look directly at his emperor.
"Your humble servant pays respect to His Majesty..."
The emperor drank his tea slowly and said softly, "Get up."
Yan Wenjie got up, but was still reserved.
The emperor said: "Mr. Yan has been doing a good job recently, and I am very pleased."
Yan Wenjie was also very happy. It came, it came. The emperor was going to confer him an official title.
His requirements are not high; the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple will be enough.
Hahaha.
"Yan Qing, I need you to do something." The emperor's voice interrupted Yan Wenjie's thoughts.
Yan Wenjie was stunned for a moment, then quickly expressed his loyalty: "I will do my best."
So the emperor asked him to go to Yongzhou.
"The Miao family is just a trigger..." The emperor said quietly, "What I want... is the entire Yongzhou, do you understand?"
Yan Wenjie was shocked.
Of course he understands.
I have heard for a long time that Your Majesty is going to restart the imperial examination system. The aristocratic families in the capital and the local tyrants are very dissatisfied because the imperial examination system for selecting talents will squeeze their interests.
After the recommendation system was abolished, the younger generations in their family could only take the imperial examinations like everyone else.
Of course, this is the idea of the big families, because they are in high positions and have almost monopolized the upper power of Daxia.
As for the small families, they are certainly willing to take the imperial examinations.
The lower class people couldn’t even get enough food to eat, let alone study.
However, the children in their family are capable of studying, and the imperial examination is a good opportunity for them to climb up the social ladder.
As long as you study hard, you can make a big leap forward.
Yan Wenjie is not stupid. He also heard that the Yun family in the northwest has fallen, and several families in the south have also been dealt with by the emperor. These are all signals that the emperor is dissatisfied with these people and wants to take back power.
To the west, General Zhenyuan has gone, to the south, King Jing has gone, to the east...
The emperor let him go.
Doesn't this mean that in the emperor's heart, he, Prince Jing and General Zhenyuan have the same weight?
This mission is certainly dangerous.
But Yan Wenjie was willing to go, as he felt it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
If he can handle this matter well, Yan Wenjie will have a place in the capital in the future.
Yan Wenjie knelt down and knocked his head to the ground.
"I will definitely complete this mission well..."
The emperor was very satisfied.
Yan Wenjie was given the title of imperial envoy and some other people were given to him, and then he left.
The emperor was in a good mood.
He also asked: "Xiaojiu, how is your brother?"
An Jiu went to see it. An Tai has been following Jiang Sheng recently and has been very lively, but he seems to be in a bad mood.
An Tai was indeed worried.
Firstly, it was because of An Jiu. He was always worried that his sister was deceived by the dog emperor, and his sister seemed to be completely bewitched by the emperor. What did he mean that the emperor was different from others and that he was a good person? Could the emperor be a good person?
He sighed.
Secondly...
What does Jiang Sheng do?
The people in his prison were all spies from the State of Chu.
All of them.
But Jiang Sheng asked him to deliver food to these people.
Can you imagine?
All of these people's anger was directed at him. Everyone who met him would call him a "traitor". Some even spat at him, trying to kill him with their eyes...
Although An Tai hated the Chu people and they were traitors, he couldn't stand it...
He understood what this Jiang was thinking. They just didn't trust him and were afraid that he would harm the emperor, so they wanted him to attract hatred. In the future, anyone who saw him would call him a traitor. The people of Chu hated him to death, and the only one he could rely on was Daxia.
What a cunning scheme.
Descended from the emperor.
Jiang Sheng also asked: "Master An, speaking of which, are you and Xiaojiu from Daxia or Chu?"
An Tai had a blank expression on his face: "What's wrong with me being from Daxia?"
Jiang Sheng just let out a sigh.
An Tai also got angry: "What's wrong? What's wrong with me being from Daxia? Are you trying to accuse me of betraying my country and joining the enemy?"
Jiang Sheng quickly waved his hands: "I didn't say that."
An Tai sneered, "Many years ago, my hometown suffered from a three-year drought. The crops failed and my parents starved to death. I fled with my sister and suffered hardships and insults. We even saw people being eaten on the road. Where was the Great Xia court at that time?"
Jiang Sheng had nothing to say.
The local tyrants are all local tyrants, and the emperor may not be able to reach out to them. The experience of the An brothers and sisters is common.
Now that the emperor is carrying out reforms, he hopes that the people’s lives will be better in the future.
"Mr. An, I'm sorry, that's not what I meant."
An Tai was not a fool. He said coldly, "You are."
That's what the surname Jiang means.
Who knows if it was the emperor's order?
Why are you pretending to be a good person with him?
He was filled with rage. When he was carrying the bucket and returned to the prison again, when someone called him a traitor again, he shouted, "Traitor to your mother's head. I am originally from Daxia, and so are you. Why are you pretending to be from Chu? You are the traitors to Daxia."
The people on the other side had nothing to say.
And the Chu people...
They had nothing to say because An Tai was truly a Daxia person.
Some people still refuse to give up.
"Antai, the people of Chu saved your life, and this is how you repay them?"
An Tai poured a spoonful of vegetable soup into his bowl and said, "I also gave you food to eat. Am I your benefactor? Call me daddy, please."
Chu people "..."
Is this pretty boy crazy?
Why are you so tough all of a sudden?
