Planting a fairy in ancient times

Chapter 369. 395. Loyalty
On the originally crowded streets of Pingjiang Fucheng, there were not many people seen in the past two days.

Some people hid in their homes and burned incense and worshiped Buddha, begging the Bodhisattva to bless the army against the king not to come to Pingjiang Mansion.

There are also some people who burn incense and pray to heaven, hoping that the world will be peaceful as soon as possible and give the people a way out.

This day, at noon.

On the outskirts of Pingjiang Mansion, the Huwei army camp.

The daylight was just right, and Qiao Dabiao sat on a stool covered with tiger skin and fell asleep in the bright sunshine.

This tiger skin was obtained by Qiao Dabiao from hunting when he was in Beiyan Mansion.

During that hunt, Qiao Dabiao escaped death.

Because of this, whenever Qiao Dabiao encountered any embarrassment, he would close his eyes and half lean on the tiger leather stool to think hard.

The skylight at the top of the tent was open, and the warm sun shone on him. Qiao Dabiao almost fell asleep comfortably.

"Report~!" From outside the tent, came the voice of the school lieutenant Chen Xiaoyi.

Qiao Dabiao sat up, wiped the suspicious liquid from the corner of his mouth, and said in a deep voice, "Come in."

After Chen Xiaoyi got the money, he knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists at Qiao Dabiao who was at the top, and reported: "Master Guard, Pingjiang Prefecture Zhizhou Zou Mingtao is asking to see you at the gate of Daying."

"Prefect of Pingjiang Prefecture?" Qiao Dabiao frowned.

Lessons from the past are still here!
The last time Wu Zhiyuan, the magistrate of Pingjiang Prefecture, came to the barracks to look for Qiao Dabiao, Qiao Dabiao almost lost his life in it.

What Qiao Dabiao is most afraid of hearing now is the words "Lord Zhizhou".

Once bitten by a snake, I am afraid of the rope for ten years!

This time Master Zhizhou came to look for him, wouldn't he be unlucky again?
Thinking of this, Qiao Dabiao cleared his throat and said, "Chen Xiaoyi, go and tell Zou Zhizhou that I am busy with military affairs and don't have time to see him. If there is anything you need, just communicate in official documents."

After finishing speaking, Qiao Dabiao waved his hand, signaling Chen Xiaoyi to go out and answer quickly.

Chen Xiaoyi originally wanted to say something, but seeing Qiao Dabiao's impatient expression, he had no choice but to say "yes", then turned around and strode out the door.

Zou Mingtao paced back and forth anxiously outside the barracks.

After waiting for more than a quarter of an hour, but still did not see Qiao Dabiao appearing, Zou Mingtao couldn't help standing still, craned his neck and looked into the camp.

Really anxious to death.

Qiao Dabiao, why hasn't he come yet?

Recently, rumors have been flying in the city of Pingjiang Mansion. Many people say that the troops of King Cheng and King Wu are coming to attack Pingjiang Mansion.

The wealthy households in the city fled and fled, and the rest either had nowhere to go, or had confidence in Zou Mingtao and the Huwei army on the outskirts of the city.

Zou Mingtao, the leader of the prefecture, has been so busy these days that he doesn't touch the ground in order to live up to the expectations of the people.

The official warehouse in Ping'an Town is the most important thing.

If the food in the official storehouse was robbed by the rebels, the people of Pingjiang Mansion would starve.

With only a hundred or so yamen servants in Zou Mingtao's hands, it is impossible to keep the official position.

Because of this, Zou Mingtao is standing here today.

Zou Mingtao came to Qiao Dabiao, firstly for the official warehouse in Pingan Town, and secondly to test Qiao Dabiao.

Qiao Dabiao is the direct descendant of Mrs. Dingbei Hou.

In recent years, the Northern Wei Dynasty did not make any major moves. Emperor Tianjing also guarded against the fact that Dingbeihou was too powerful, so he used an excuse to switch defenses, and transferred the two armies, the Huwei Army and the Weiwu Army, from Dingbeihou to Pingjiang Mansion and Xingbei. Yifu is stationed.

Zou Mingtao remembered that Mrs. Dingbeihou was Princess Rui's foster brother.Prince Rui's ascension to the throne, it stands to reason that Beihou should be happy to see his success.

However, there were rumors a few years ago that Dingbei Hou had a great opinion on Prince Rui because of the death of Princess Rui.

Now that the three kings are vying for the throne, I don't know where the Marquis of Dingbei will go?

Zou Mingtao wanted to find out about Dingbeihou's attitude from Qiao Dabiao.

Dingbei Hou is the "Military God" of the Xuanyuan Dynasty. As long as he supports Xuanyuan Chaoyang, no matter how much King Cheng and King Wu do, Xuanyuan Chaoyang will definitely take the throne in the end.

If not, Zou Mingtao would have to make plans early.

That's right, Zou Mingtao is a royalist.To be correct, the entire Zou family is a royalist.

Zou Mingtao's uncle, Zou Lide, was a well-known Confucian in the Xuanyuan Dynasty, and was a companion to Emperor Tianjing.

Ten years ago, Zou Lide resigned from office and went into seclusion, and went to Changzhou County to become the dean of Mingzheng Academy.

Zou Lide has always advocated orthodoxy.

Before, no matter how fierce the battle between the princes was, Zou Lide had always stood firmly on the side of Emperor Tianjing.

Today, Emperor Tianjing died.

In the imperial edict left by Emperor Tianjing, it was stated that the throne would be inherited by Prince Rui.

The only emperor identified by Zou Lide is Prince Rui Xuanyuan Chaoyang.

There are many old friends and disciples of Zou Lide in the court.

Zou Lide learned of the news of King Cheng and King Wu's rebellion a few days faster than the court reported it.

Zou Mingtao's side was the first to respond to the closure of the city.

Otherwise, the Pingjiang Mansion would be ruined if two anti-king men sneaked into the city in disguise.

After finally looking forward to Chen Xiaoyi, Zou Mingtao asked repeatedly: "Brother Chen, hurry up, take me quickly to see you guarding adults."

"Report to Lord Zhizhou, our garrison is busy with business and has no time to see you, you should go back first! The garrison said that if there is something urgent, please contact us with official documents." Chen Xiaoyi lowered his head, not daring to look at Zou Mingtao's face.

Chen Xiaoyi knew that Zou Mingtao was a good official.

Before, after Liu Di was beheaded for "treason", Chen Xiaotao and her two sons were in a difficult situation.

People often threw vegetable leaves and rotten eggs on the door of Chen's house. What's more, they would throw feces and other filthy things in front of Chen's house.

As long as Chen Xiaotao and her children go out, people will spit on Chen Xiaotao and them.Some people even called Chen Xiaotao a "poisonous woman" and Liu Hou and Liu Jia's brother and sister "bitch of spies".

Chen Xiaotao was filled with grief and indignation, and took her two children to the magistrate's house to beat the drums to express their grievances.

After Zou Mingtao understood the cause and effect, he asked someone to make a "loyal to the emperor and love the country" pennant, and announced it to Chen Xiaotao.

In front of the hearing people, Zou Mingtao praised Chen Xiaotao for being witty and brave, she is a role model for the world.

That's right, the reason why Liu Di was arrested was thanks to the report from Chen Xiaotao and Chen Xiaoyi.

In the end, Zou Mingtao and the people said: Liu Di's fault should not be blamed on Chen Xiaotao's mother and son.Liu Di betrayed his family and country and committed suicide.

Before Liu Di committed the crime, Chen Xiaotao had already reconciled with Liu Di.

In the future, if anyone makes things difficult for Chen Xiaotao's mother and son, they will be dealt with according to Liu's party.

With Zou Mingtao's kindness and force, Chen Xiaotao's mother and son and the Chen family finally lived a peaceful life.

Chen Xiaoyi's family is very grateful to Zou Mingtao.

Today, Chen Xiaoyi wanted to help Zou Mingtao speak in front of Qiao Dabiao.

It's a pity that Qiao Dabiao is in a bad mood today, even if Chen Xiaoyi wanted to help, he was powerless.

"Qiao Shoubei doesn't want to see me?" Zou Mingtao was stunned.

Before coming to the barracks, Zou Mingtao was thinking all the way, how to negotiate with Qiao Dabiao after arriving in the barracks, and how to make demands with Qiao Dabiao.

But who knows, Qiao Dabiao doesn't even want to see him.
