All the guards of the Cui family were wiped out. The veterans of Zhechongfu camp in Zhengzhou did not need the help of the imperial army at all. They were either killed by the recruits who had deep grudges against the Cui family, or they knelt down and surrendered!
All reactionary forces in Guancheng County have been wiped out!
The clan members of the Cui family in Qinghe, all the officials and generals of the Governor's Mansion, as well as the magistrate, chief secretary and others of Guancheng County were all arrested and imprisoned in the prison of the Governor's Mansion!
Li Jing directly took over the Governor's Mansion, hundreds of thousands of troops from outside the city entered the city directly, and Guancheng County changed hands overnight!
"Ye Minglei, you will temporarily take over the position of magistrate of Guancheng County. Before dawn tomorrow, draft a notice to calm the people and submit it to Wei Zuocheng for review. If it is correct, print it quickly and post it throughout the city early tomorrow morning. Make sure that the people can see it clearly. The face of the Cui family made them understand that the Holy One truly loves the people as his own children, and the Cui family is just a wealthy wolf cloaked in hypocrisy and intent on killing the master!"
Although it was late at night in the Governor's Mansion, the lights were still brightly lit. Li Jing was sitting at the head of the table, making arrangements for people's livelihood after the war!
In the early years, he followed Li Er in the north and south campaigns. Every time he captured a city, the first thing he did was to calm the people. After great chaos, there must be great governance. This sentence applies not only to the change of dynasties, but also to the "post-war reconstruction of the city". "!
People who have just been freed from the war have no bottom in their hearts and are restless. If they are not comforted in time, once someone is instigated, there will be another turmoil!
Li Jing has been on the battlefield for a long time, and it is precisely because he knows this very well that he explained it to Ye Minglei so solemnly.
"I would like to thank you, Chief Manager, for your trust. Chief Manager, please rest assured that the true face of the Cui family and what they have done in the past few months are all clear to me. Tomorrow's announcement will surely enable the people to distinguish right from wrong, good from evil, and start anew." My heart goes to the imperial court!"
Ye Minglei didn't expect that this time he would be a blessing in disguise and become the acting magistrate of Guancheng County. Although it was only a temporary one, if he did it well, it would be very likely that the word "temporary" would be removed later and he would directly become the official county magistrate. Got it!
He cupped his hands and took the order and left!
There were less than two hours until dawn. Ye Minglei guessed that he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight, but what did it matter? Now he is full of energy!
"Wei Zuocheng, please give Ye Minglei more control when the time comes!"
After Ye Minglei left, Li Jing looked at Wei Zheng again, cupped his hands and said, "Please."
There is no way, who asked Wei Zheng to write the best article here? Otherwise, Li Jing would definitely not want to trouble Wei Zheng, because this old troll often likes to cause trouble!
Wei Zheng did not shirk, and agreed generously, "This is my duty as an officer, why bother? The chief manager can just rest assured!"
Ye Minglei had stayed with him in the tunnel for many days. Strictly speaking, they could be considered friends in times of need. Of course he would not refuse such a small matter!
Li Jing felt relieved. He looked at Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong and others who were sitting below, and said: "This siege of Guancheng, you are all doing your best. When the master returns to the court, I will definitely give a memorial to the emperor. Rewards based on merit!"
Everyone stood up and clasped their fists and said, "Thank you so much, Chief Manager!"
Li Jing nodded and said: "It's getting late now. You have been working very hard these days. Go and have a rest! Tomorrow, the generals in each department will count the casualties and submit battle reports to me, so that I can send a victory report to the Holy One!"
"Here~!"
Everyone responded and said goodbye.
The incident happened suddenly, and it was so ugly now. There was no place to provide accommodation for them in the city, so tonight they stayed in the guest room of the Governor's Mansion. Who allowed Pan Zhenyue to have more rooms in the Governor's Mansion!
………………………
"Wen Hao, I really didn't expect you to come all the way to Guancheng to save me at first. You know that there is a war here, aren't you afraid?"
In a garden in the west courtyard of the Governor's Mansion, Xiao Yu'er and Meng Wenhao were sitting on a stone bench, using the faint light from the lantern next to them to express their joy of reuniting in a different place!
What girl is not pregnant? Girls of this age group are all infatuated. In order to save himself, a young man traveled hundreds of miles without any regrets and came to a dangerous battlefield. How could Xiao Yuer not be moved? How could you not be emotional?
Meng Wenhao smiled and said: "Xiao Yu'er, you are a girl and you are not afraid of being in the enemy camp. What should I be afraid of? Besides, the first person you met when you came to Chang'an City was me. You If you are in trouble, who will help you if I don’t help you?”
Hearing this, Li Yu felt warm in her heart. She didn't know why. She had always been open-minded and forthright, but she didn't know what to say at this moment. After a moment of silence, Xiao Yu'er raised her head and scolded:
"Fool, I... I came to manage the city to eliminate violence and save Wei Zuocheng. As long as I can achieve my goal, even if I die, I think it's worth it. Anyway, I'm just an insignificant person to everyone! But You are different, you have parents and a sister, if something happens to you here, what will they do?"
Meng Wenhao frowned and said: "Who said you are just an insignificant person? Although you have lost your parents, in Yunshan, you have the mountain chief who cares about you, your master wife who loves you, and Mr. Ma who usually takes good care of you. Why? Have you become an irrelevant person?"
After that, Meng Wenhao hesitated for a long time, as if he thought it was not enough, and added: "Also, I also care about you! So, you are definitely not an insignificant person. In Chang'an, you have friends and elders. Something happened here in the city and county, and everyone is worried about you~!"
Sometimes, the more ordinary the words are, the more they can touch people's hearts. At this moment, in Xiao Yu'er's mind, the scene of Meng Wenhao coming forward when he encountered bandits in Chang'an at the beginning of the year, less than a year passed. , a child without her parents, not only established herself in Chang'an, but also made many friends and met many elders who cared about her!
Li Zexuan is like her father and brother. He took her in and helped her when she was in the most difficult time; Ma Zhou is like her teacher. During her time in the editorial department of "Datang Daily", she learned from the talented Ma Zhou. She got a lot of useful things; Fu Bo was like her grandfather, allowing her to run rampant in the workshop!
And Meng Wenhao, to her, is her first friend, and also a very good friend!
"Xiao Yu'er, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying~?"
Li Yu was silent for a long time without speaking. Meng Wenhao was feeling strange in his heart when he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a sparkle flashing in the corner of Li Yu's eyes. He quickly stepped forward and expressed concern.
"It's okay~! It's just that a gust of wind blew sand into my eyes~!"
Li Yu suddenly woke up from her memories. She rubbed her eyes, pretending to be nonchalant, and said, "Wen Hao, it's getting late. You've been working so hard with the army these days, so you'd better rest early~!"
Meng Wenhao felt a little strange in his heart, but he didn't know where to start, so he had to say: "Well! Then Xiao Yu'er, you should go to bed early and we can talk tomorrow!"
"Uh-huh!"
Xiao Yu'er nodded, Meng Wenhao turned around and left. When he was about to reach the corridor under the eaves, Li Yu suddenly shouted: "Meng Wenhao~!"
Meng Wenhao couldn't help but pause and turned around, only to hear Li Yu continue: "It is the greatest honor of my life to know you! Thank you for coming to save me. You will be Xiao Yu'er's best friend for life!"
After saying that, Xiao Yu'er's face turned red inexplicably, turned around hurriedly, and ran back to his room!
Meng Wenhao looked stunned. After a long time, he shook his head and smiled, then walked towards the room.
………………………
"Let Old Mrs. Cui go, let the Cui family go! The Cui family are all good people~!"
"Let Grandpa Cui go now! He is a good man!"
"That's right! Today's Holy Emperor kills his brother and imprisons his father, which is a treasonous act. We need a wise master like Old Mrs. Cui to come to power to help the country!"
"Li Jing, Grandpa Cui is just for me to help the country of Tang Dynasty. What's wrong with that? Why do you want to arrest him? Let Grandpa Cui go!"
The next day, after the people woke up, they discovered that Guancheng County had changed to a new owner overnight. Most of the people were very happy. After all, when Guancheng was besieged two days ago, the Cui family had already Their ugly faces were shown, and the people knew in their hearts that as long as the Cui family was in power, they would most likely be arrested to defend the city and die!
Therefore, early in the morning of the next day, after the people learned that Wang Shi had entered the city and the Cui family was destroyed, they all rushed to tell each other. The city was very lively!
However, there was a group of people who became indignant after learning that the Cui family had been destroyed and Cui Junchuo was arrested. They went to the Governor's Mansion together, completely blocked the door of the Governor's Mansion, and stood in front of the door and shouted loudly Shouted and protested.
These are all Confucian scholars in Guancheng County. They have been attached to the Cui family before, hoping that with the Cui family's connections in the court, they can one day become officials in the court. Some of them have been dreaming of helping the Cui family to rebel recently. He succeeded and became a founding hero in one fell swoop.
But now, Li Jing has destroyed the aloof and sacred Cui family in their minds, and at the same time extinguished the dreams in their hearts. So, these greedy Confucian scholars came to make trouble in front of the Governor's Mansion!
On the other hand, this also shows that the previous "Zhengzhou Daily" was very successful in "brainwashing" these people!
Li Jing, who came after hearing the sound, couldn't help but feel angry when he heard the words shouted by the Confucian scholars at the door. He turned to one of his guards and said, "beat them all away with sticks!"
"yes!"
After a while, a group of armored sergeants rushed out from the gate of the Governor's Mansion, holding wooden sticks and attacking the crowd!
"Ouch~! My legs!"
"Ouch~! My head!"
"Li Jing, you are so bold! We are the disciples of a saint, but you dare to use weapons recklessly. You are going against the scholars in the world! It turns out that there is a foolish king above and a treacherous minister below. After your death, you will be infamy for thousands of years!"
The leading scholar shouted loudly at the top of his voice.
Li Jing, who was about to enter the house, changed his expression at this moment, and said in a deep voice: "Catch them all and put them in prison!"
Confucian scholars have misled the country! Li Zexuan's engineering studies are more useful!
When he thought of the key roles played by Meng Wenhao and Tiedan in this war, and then looked at these Confucian scholars who did not distinguish between good and evil, Li Jing couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
