People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 488

Inside the state office, Li Xuan stretched his right hand forward, pressed it on the eight-sided Han sword placed on the table, and said directly: "This king told you today that the news is true."

In a word, everyone raised their heads in disbelief, and met Li Xuan's cold and gloomy eyes.

They immediately bowed their heads subconsciously, but at this moment, Li Xuansen's cold voice sounded: "I would like to tell you all, if someone cheats and cheats during the investigation of the fields, don't blame me for the butcher's knife falling on you."

"I don't dare to be an official." Everyone in Muzhou hurriedly bowed in fear.

A sneer flashed across the corner of Li Xuan's mouth, how could these people obediently hand over the land in their hands.

At that time, when the Eight Immortals cross the sea, various means will be used.

For Li Xuan, it was just right.

Because only death and blood can make people truly obedient.

"Okay, everyone, take it easy." Li Xuan suddenly smiled lightly, and everyone immediately felt the pressure on their bodies lighten.

At this time, I heard Li Xuan continue to speak: "This past month, the people's livelihood in Muzhou has been in chaos, and this king has sent a large amount of fruits, vegetables, cattle, sheep, gauze and silk cloth from Wuzhou to ensure that the people meet their needs.

In addition, there are a large number of monks and monks who will also arrive in Muzhou.

Du Canjun, I want you to prepare for the land worship ceremony in Zhoucheng three days later, and at the same time organize the temple fair after the meeting. "

Speaking of this, Li Xuan leaned forward slightly, looked at the crowd and said meaningfully: "The Tianyin Sect has been completely pacified, and Muzhou has returned to peace. This rare and peaceful time, everyone should cherish it!"

"The next official takes orders." There were quite a few people in the hall, and their faces were not very good-looking.

The king of Nanchang talked inside and outside, in the final analysis, there is only one word, kill.

To kill people's hearts.

The common people have fields in their hands, and the common people have surplus food, so naturally they won't be nostalgic for Tianyin Sect.

But if the common people have land and surplus food, it will harm the interests of the aristocratic and powerful families.

Once the aristocratic family is dissatisfied, they will face Li Xuan Chi Guoguo's blade.

While many people bowed their heads, their eyes had quietly communicated.

"Okay, let's talk about other things. There are many streams in Muzhou, and the rivers are being renovated..."

……

A group of people walked out of the state office one after another.

Faintly, everyone subconsciously surrounded the three figures in the center.

"Brother Fang, what do you think of this matter?" Everyone's eyes immediately fell on the forty-year-old man in a black brocade suit, with bright eyes and a short beard. Patriarch Fang Xian.

Fang Xian looked at the two people standing side by side with him, and said with a wry smile: "What else can I do, under the decree of the King of Nanchang, I will act according to the law, Yang Xiandi, Qi Xiandi, don't pretend to be smart at this time, and make mistakes on your own! "

Fang Xian's words seemed to mean something else, and he had already strode away without waiting for others to ask more questions.

Others seemed to have figured it out thoughtfully.

The king of Nanchang, the peace envoy of Muzhou, was here to kill people.

In the state government lobby, watching everyone leave, Li Xuan turned to look at Yu Ze: "Uncle Yu, do you think they will cooperate with us?"

"As long as you are not a stupid person, you will understand that the prince's time in Muzhou will not be long at all. You just need to be patient and wait until the new governor of Muzhou arrives. There is no need to take risks now." Yu Ze pointed out the truth of the matter.

"That's why, before the governor of Muzhou takes office, it is necessary to thoroughly investigate and determine the acres of fields in Muzhou. As long as each family has a field of [-] acres, and each family can have a little surplus food, who would be so boring as hell?" Yin teaches to rebel."

Li Xuan sighed, turned to look at Qiu Zhenmu, and said: "Brother Qiu, let the brothers of Qianniuwei walk around the streets more these days, so that the people of Muzhou can feel the majesty of the court more. "

Without the slightest hesitation, Qiu Zhenmu immediately cupped his hands: "The last general will obey the order."

"After the great chaos, if you want great governance, the right way is to punish the good people with leniency."

Li Xuan looked at Qiu Zhenmu, and said directly: "If there are officials and others who oppress the people, Qianniuwei will arrest them immediately, but if there is resistance, they will be killed first and then played."

"Here!" Qiu Zhenmu immediately bowed his hands solemnly.

Li Xuan nodded, and at this moment, a sound of horseshoes came from outside the government office.

Immediately, a soldier in blue clothes appeared at the door, and in a blink of an eye, he was already running towards Li Xuan quickly.

A short note had already appeared in Li Xuan's hand. Li Xuan took a look at it and handed it to Yu Ze, and at the same time said to everyone: "Over a thousand pioneers of the Tianyin Sect have arrived at the mountain pass of Xishan Mountain. Shoot them all with crossbows."

As soon as the battle report came, everyone present immediately became awestruck.

Xu Jian immediately cupped his hands and said, "My lord, they are using their lives to test the edge of the government soldiers!"

"Yeah!" Li Xuan nodded solemnly, and said, "Tianyin Sect doesn't have many members, and human life is the only weapon they can use."

"Then will they attack frantically next, just like Meiling Pass?" Qi Guang looked at Li Xuan worriedly.

In the Battle of Meiling Pass, the Tianyin sect suffered tens of thousands of casualties.

If they don't learn their lesson this time, there will be a lot of casualties.

Qi Guang himself was from Muzhou, and he moved to Wuzhou later.

Although he doesn't have much faith in Tianyin Sect, but the local nostalgia still makes him a little unbearable.

"No, after several fights, even a stupid pig should learn to be more cautious." Li Xuan flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked towards the state office, and said indifferently: "Go to work, the matter of Xishan will not happen today. As a result, the most important thing for us now is to clear up the fields and calm people's hearts..."

"Here!" Everyone present bowed slightly.

Although Li Xuan didn't say much, his judgment on the battle situation can be seen clearly from his attitude.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Li Xuan was wearing a gold silk robe with a black background, standing on the pier at the south gate of Muzhou, surrounded by Qianniuwei guards.

The boats on the Xin'an River in front of him kept going back and forth, and there were many city chiefs and square chiefs standing behind them, and there were not many other high-ranking officials.

Under the city gate in the distance, the people came and went, looking at this side with a trace of fear in their eyes.

In just one day and night, Li Xuan's name as a murderer has been completely resounded.

Everyone looked at Li Xuan with a tinge of hatred and a tinge of helplessness.

After all, according to the rumors, the demon king who slaughtered millions of people day and night has never been a good person.

This kind of news even overwhelmed the news that Li Xuan wanted to check the fields and give each young man a hundred acres of land.

Li Xuan stood at the front of the pier with an indifferent face, and he ignored all the strange gazes behind him.

At this time, a tall three-masted sailboat suddenly appeared in the lower reaches of the river.

Driven by the strong wind, they quickly came towards the city of Muzhou.

Immediately afterwards, more large ships appeared and lined up towards the pier where Li Xuan was.

Under the strong wind, the boat moved very fast, and the whole fleet stopped in front of Li Xuan very quickly.

The deck was put on the pier, and immediately, Sicheng Henghan, the capital of Wuzhou, stepped off the boat, and then cupped his hands to Li Xuan: "Your Majesty, by order of the envoy, the grain and grass to support Muzhou have arrived."

"Clean up for a while, unload and store." Li Xuan waved his hands, looked to the rear, and asked: "The people are here too, let them disembark."

"Here!" Heng Han backed off immediately, followed closely by a group of gray-clothed soldiers, with a calm expression, stepping off the boat neatly one after another.

A total of four ships, a total of more than 2000 people and more than 2000 Muzhou soldiers descended from the ships.

These were all the people of Muzhou who were captured and surrendered on Sanhe Pass and Wujiang River. At this moment, they all returned to Muzhou.

Those village chiefs and square chiefs in the rear were extremely surprised to see these people.

They thought that these people were all dead, but they didn't expect that they were still alive.

Li Xuan walked up to the crowd, looked at them, and said with a solemn expression: "The king once promised you to send you back to your hometown, granting each family a hundred acres of land, and now you have returned to your hometown, and the Facao is renovating the household register. , to grant the land again, and in a few days, you will arrive at your home. After you return home, remember to treat your parents well, work hard, and enjoy the rest of your life in peace."

Li Xuan pointed sideways at the village chiefs behind him, and said coldly: "If anyone insults you, you can sue this king, and this king is your master."

Ah!
Hearing what Li Xuan said, the village chiefs behind him were very embarrassed for a moment.

However, those soldiers in front of Li Xuan showed joy in their eyes, and hurriedly cupped their hands and said, "Thank you, my lord!"

"You go home." Li Xuan turned her head to the side and shouted in a low voice, "Qi Guang!"

"I'm here." Qi Guang stood up immediately.

"You lead the people yourself, protect those village chiefs, and send all these people home."

"The next official takes orders." Qi Guang immediately bowed his hands to Zhuang Su.

"En!" Li Xuan nodded, looked at the city gate not far away, and said to everyone in a deep voice: "Recently, I heard that there are rumors in Muzhou that the king killed a million people, and you all came back from Wuzhou. Yes, how about the details, go and explain to your family and friends."

"Little people take orders!" Many Muzhou soldiers present immediately bowed their hands.

Some of them were captured by Li Xuan at Sanhe Pass, and some of them surrendered themselves on the Wujiang River.

Whether they had seen the huge fire in Guancheng, or the storm on the Wujiang River, these people were full of awe towards Li Xuan.

The moment they go back, related things spread, which will immediately break the previous rumors that Li Xuan killed the Demon King.

But it is precisely because the rumors about the murderous demon king spread too widely before, this reversal, the impression of Li Xuan calling the wind and rain can be deeply imprinted in people's hearts immediately.

……

"My lord is brilliant. It's so easy to grasp the hearts and minds of the people of Muzhou. In this way, the people of Muzhou can be at ease."

Du Bixing looked at the soldiers in the distance and the head of the village, disappeared into the city gate, stepped forward and cupped his hands at Li Xuan: "I admire you."

Li Xuan smiled lightly, then waved her hands and said, "Let Mr. Du take care of the remaining details. I have to wait here for the battle report from the front line."

"The next officer takes orders." Du Bixing looked serious, then turned around and chased after the people in front of him.

"My lord wants Du Jiyan to stay in Muzhou as Sima?" Yu Ze watched Du Bixing go away curiously, then looked at Li Xuan with his hands folded.

Wang Bo and others on the side were also surprised when they heard this.

"It's just a little bit of exercise." Li Xuan shook her head slightly, looked at the crowd and said, "Mr. Du is very close to everyone in the Governor's Mansion, so it's more convenient for him to handle these matters."

Hearing what Li Xuan said, everyone present understood.

"Let's go, I'll go to the city gate first, the military newspaper from the front line should arrive soon."
