What is this scepter? That is the representative of imperial power!
Zhou Yi had the audacity to throw away the scepter in his hand. Isn't this a sign of disrespect?
Wei Zhongxian looked around and saw that there were no outsiders around, so he quickly picked up the scepter thrown by Zhou Yi.
"Lord Zhou, to be honest, our family hates that damn Yan Song. It was all that old thief Yan Song's idea to send you as an envoy. Our family was almost attacked by Huns and Khitan thieves on the way here. Damn, fortunately your soldiers showed up in time and saved my life, speaking of which, our family owes you two lives, Mr. Zhou!"
"You broke the scepter, which is a treasonous crime. Fortunately, we are all our own people and will not spread this matter! But if you don't accept the order, Mr. Zhou, our family really doesn't know what to do!" "
If Emperor Chen had asked him to negotiate peace, maybe Zhou Yi would directly accept the order.
But they should never write the words "Measure the material resources of the Chen country and make the country happy".
This is a perfect traitorous quote!
The cession of Yongzhou territory, such a humiliating and humiliating regulation, can be signed by whoever wants to sign it. Anyway, Zhou Yi will not accept the order to send envoys to the Xiongnu and Khitan.
Suddenly Zhou Yi thought of something, and his face that was angry and cold because of hearing the imperial edict instantly relaxed.
"Eunuch Wei, you have already said that we are one of our own. I have never put you in trouble, and of course this time is no exception!"
Wei Zhongxian was overjoyed and quickly handed over the scepter in his hand.
But Zhou Yi still didn't take it, and instead said to Qian Yong: "Bring me that guy's dog head and give it to Eunuch Wei!"
Qian Yong understood immediately and went to the backyard warehouse to bring a box.
When Qian Yong came with a large mahogany box, Wei Zhongxian asked with some fear: "Mr. Zhou, whose head is in this box?"
Zhou Yi smiled slightly and said: "Who else could it be? It is naturally the head of Zhang Biao, the traitor and betrayer."
"Take back Zhang Biao's head and say that Pingliang County Magistrate Li Feiyu mobilized the people of the county to defend Pingliang County to the death. Not only did Pingjiang County remain intact, the people of the city also killed nearly 100,000 Xiongnu and Khitan people. In addition to the coalition forces, Li Feiyu also took advantage of the enemy's retreat, led his troops to attack the enemy, chopped off the head of the dog thief Zhang Biao, and then returned to the city in style."
After hearing this, Wei Zhongxian said with a troubled face: "Master Zhou... But... But this decree is given to you!"
"Eunuch Wei, you have also seen that Pingjiang County has been completely surrounded. Those Huns are extremely cruel. You can't even get in. How can you carry out the decree for me if you can't see me?"
Wei Zhongxian was also a smart man and understood immediately. Although he hesitated, he decided to do as Zhou Yi asked.
Yongzhou is now in critical danger, and Wei Zhongxian doesn't want to stay for another quarter of an hour.
After confirming the details of the report with Zhou Yi, Wei Zhongxian set off back to the capital under the escort of fifty soldiers sent by Zhou Yi.
After Wei Zhongxian left, news spread like wildfire that the emperor wanted to cede Yongzhou to the Xiongnu and Khitan.
After hearing this, all the people in Pingliang County were furious.
If the entire Yongzhou comes under the rule of the Khitan and the Huns, the fate of the Chen people in Yongzhou will be dark.
"Have you heard that the Dog Emperor wants to cede our entire Yongzhou land to the Khitan and the Xiongnu? He also talks about measuring the material resources of the Chen State and marrying the country's favor!"
"I heard! All the eunuchs who were sent by the Dog Emperor came to our Pingliang County. Yesterday I saw the dead eunuch when I was transporting the body outside the city!"
"It is said that the Dog Emperor's imperial edict also asked our eldest master to be the sinner for ceding territory and seeking peace. But who is our eldest master? We would rather die standing than live on our knees. We directly refused the Dog Emperor's order!"
"Isn't that right? I heard that the Huns and Khitan thieves were so hungry that they even ate people, and they especially liked to make the skulls of beautiful women and strong men into wine glasses."
This group of people who were chatting while working were all frightened after hearing such news.
"It's okay, okay, our eldest master didn't agree, otherwise we might one day become the food of the Xiongnu and Khitan!"
Liang Shanbo, who was also trapped in Pingliang County, also helped with whatever work he could.
When he heard the people around him say the imperial court's saying, "Measure the material resources of the Chen country, and the happiness of the country," he felt like a lump in his throat.
Liang Shanbo did not expect that the current Chen court would be so corrupt.
Cutting off a state's land today might help you get a good night's sleep.
But the Xiongnu and Khitan were ambitious and determined to destroy our country, Chen.
What will happen if we fight again tomorrow?
Should we continue to cede territory and seek peace?
However, the land of Chen State was limited, and the Xiongnu and Khitan were greedy, and their encroachment became more and more urgent.
Treating the Xiongnu and Khitan with the land is like holding firewood to put out a fire. If the firewood is not used up, the fire will never be extinguished.
Could it be that all the civil and military officials in this court couldn't understand such a simple truth?
Or is it that the Chen State has reached a point of incompetence and lack of governance, and it is time for it to perish?
Just when Liang Shanbo was heartbroken, someone suddenly called his name.
"Liang Shanbo, Liang Shanbo, the county magistrate is looking for you!"
The call temporarily pulled Liang Shanbo out of his sorrow.
As soon as he heard that it was the magistrate of Pingliang County who was looking for him, Liang Shanbo immediately straightened up his appearance and walked towards the call.
When Liang Shanbo saw Qian Yong, who was wearing the official uniform of Pingliang County Magistrate, he immediately saluted him. Zhou Yi Liang Shanbo, who was standing next to him, thought he was the military advisor of "Li Feiyu".
The next second, Liang Shanbo saw "Li Feiyu" saying respectfully to Zhou Yi: "Master Zhou, this Liang Shanbo is a talent I discovered in the city before. When the Xiongnu and Khitan besieged the city, whether it was organizing Whether the people collected feces to make golden soup or organized people to cook and distribute meals to the frontline soldiers, they were all handled in an orderly manner."
Liang Shanbo was a little confused. He asked tentatively: "Master Zhou? Are you Zhou Yi Zhou Xingjian?"
Zhou Yi did not deny it, and admitted openly: "Yes, I am Zhou Yi! To be honest, in addition to Zhou Yi, I also have another identity - Li Feiyu, and Li Feiyu is only me from beginning to end."
"The man you just met is named Qian Yong. He was originally a police officer in Pingliang County. He was the official I appointed to temporarily take charge of Pingliang County."
After Liang Shanbo heard the news, his mind exploded as if the world was new.
"How is it possible? The notorious bandit is actually Tan Hwa Lang himself!"
Tanhualang forged the identity of a bandit, Li Feiyu, and defrauded a county of land. This is a crime of deceiving the emperor and will cost you your head!
Just introduce it! Why would you tell yourself such a secret?
"Could it be that...he wants to get me to join him?" Liang Shanbo thought to himself.
Liang Shanbo's guess was good. Zhou Yi was really short of talents now. The reason Zhou Yi told him straight to the point about his identity as "Li Feiyu" was to get him to join the gang.
As for whether to agree or not, Liang Shanbo, who knew the identity of Zhou Yi's "Li Feiyu", had to weigh it carefully!
