Chapter 551 The Pearl of Taizhou's wealthy family seeks an audience
The messenger who was kneeling on the ground took off his veil, revealing a beautiful face, and said softly: "Zhang Qingzi has seen two generals."
Zhao Bing and Zhang Ye looked at each other!
Zhang Qingzi has an outstanding appearance, can be broken by a blow, and has a supple body. It was not visible before taking off the veil. Now except for the veil, he is really beautiful and fragrant.
Zhang Yeye had a ridiculous and weird thought, "Where did you come from as the envoy? It's really interesting that you used a woman as your envoy?"
Zhao Bing smiled and said: "You are very brave when you go on a mission alone!"
Zhang Qingzi said: "I'm from Taizhou."
Zhang Yedao: "I had some guesses, but I didn't expect that he was actually a rebel. Tell me!"
Zhang Ye leaned on the chair, looked at Zhang Qingzi, and his expression became cold: "You want to surrender?"
Zhao Bingdao: "Rebel if you want to rebel, surrender if you want to surrender, that's too good a thought."
Zhang Qingzi cried: "Please save me, General, and ask the imperial court to attack Taizhou Prefecture as soon as possible!"
"That's it?" Zhang Ye said with a smile: "The imperial army has no plans to attack Taizhou for the time being. That is the territory of your rebels. You should occupy it first."
"General, if the imperial court does not attack, the people of Taizhou will have no way to survive. General, please have mercy on the elders of Taizhou!"
"Imperial army, if you say you want to fight, you will fight!" Zhang Ye said, slapping the table.
Zhao Bing helped: "Women just don't understand anything. Do you really think that important national affairs are just a casual joke? You, the daughter of a rebel, dare to dispatch the imperial army and ask, where are you from?"
Zhang Qingzi lay on the ground: "Please see the emperor!"
"Tch, do you think it's possible?"
Zhang Ye sneered: "I know who you are even if you don't tell me. Your name is Zhang. I know that there are many wealthy families in Taizhou with the surname Zhang, and Zhang Qingfu is the most popular among them. You are a woman, and you should be Zhang Qingfu's daughter. I have heard about it a long time ago."
The daughter of Qing Fu, the pearl of a wealthy family, is also a talented girl from the southeast, and has many suitors from aristocratic families!"
Zhang Qingzi said: "I am Zhang Qingfu's daughter. General, are you satisfied?"
"Ha, what am I satisfied with?" Zhang Ye said with a smile: "Your family participated in the rebellion. Now, Taizhou and Wenzhou are besieged by our imperial army. Although I don't know what the situation is in the city, there are 300,000 rebels in the two places. The two places cannot support them at all.
Well, now that winter has passed, I'm afraid the situation will be even worse."
Seeing that Zhang Ye had guessed it, Zhang Qingzi was willing to explain the situation. The two cities simply could not support that many troops. It was fine at first, but as the Daliang army surrounded and refused to fight, the situation began to deteriorate!
The soldiers in the city began to loot, and violence continued. The wealthy families tried to suppress it, killing some people, and finally got the situation under control, but a rift was left between the army and the wealthy families!
When Lao Zhu was engaging in entertainment activities in Hangzhou, a mutiny broke out in Taizhou City. A captain of the rebel army was beaten to death for offending a young man. The captain's boss, Lieutenant General Lingle, led his men to massacre this man at night.
The whole family of the young master was subsequently robbed!
The rebels were already suppressed, but now they found an outlet!
On that day, the rebels rioted, and more than a dozen wealthy families in Taizhou Prefecture were slaughtered in one breath. The Zhang family only managed to survive by giving them a lot of money and food!
Zhang Qingfu saw it and thought that this would not work. Otherwise, if the imperial court did not destroy them, they would be killed by the rebels instead.
The rebels left these local tycoons unkilled, but they were actually raising sheep to extort military pay and food. Sooner or later, they would die when all their wealth was used.
Zhang Qingfu spent money to bribe the soldiers at the city gate and secretly sent Zhang Qingzi out. The purpose was to let Zhu Youde send troops to destroy the rebels!
After all, his daughter is a beautiful and talented woman, and if she is slept with by Lao Zhu, she might forgive the Zhang family for rebelling.
Zhang Qingzi shed tears and cried in a leisurely tone, which made me feel pity for him.
Zhao Bing suddenly felt a little soft-hearted. Zhang Ye looked at it and shook his head quickly. Zhao Bing didn't say anything.
After waiting for a while, Zhang Qingzi stopped crying. When he looked up, he saw Zhang Ye's face was cold. He was really calm about her reaction, and he felt nervous at that moment.
"General, I know that my Zhang family has committed a serious crime, and the imperial court has its own laws, but the people of Taizhou are also the common people of Liang. Doesn't the imperial court care about them? The rebels have now committed many crimes, and the imperial court is watching from the side. How can the common people deserve this?
"
Zhang Yedao: "I am a general. The army is dispatched to fight. I dare to take action only if the emperor orders it. It is useless if you say it, and it is useless if I say it. Your Majesty ordered the attack to be suspended until the spring of next year!"
"At that time, the people in the city had been brutalized to death by the rebels!"
"Whose fault is this?"
Zhang Yedao: "The southeast is a prosperous place in the world. The imperial court attaches great importance to it and His Majesty favors it. However, the wealthy people in the southeast are greedy and demanding. They regard the people as pigs and dogs, and the imperial decrees as nothing. If they move, they will rebel, and the world is uneasy!"
"Your Majesty is sending a large army to garrison in Hangzhou to give the wealthy families in the southeast a last chance. When you surrender voluntarily, you and others will resist the imperial soldiers, collude with East Vietnam, and plot the southeast!"
Zhang Ye stood up and looked at Zhang Qingzi: "I know what you are thinking. Your Majesty is lustful. If a beauty like you is seen by His Majesty, he will definitely feel pity for you. When the time comes, you will be the royal concubine, and your Zhang family will be the emperor."
My dear, the rebellion can also be wiped out!"
Zhang Qingzi felt something was wrong, and Zhang Ye had already sneered: "Do you know that others call me the Living King of Hell? Since I came south to the south of the Yangtze River, I have killed people without any calculation, but I have never killed a beauty like you. I want to try it this time!"
Zhang Qingzi suddenly sat paralyzed on the ground. Zhao Bing quickly said: "Old Zhang, let the emperor handle this!"
Zhang Ye smiled bitterly and said: "How could I not know that such matters should be handled by Your Majesty? But who is Your Majesty? We don't know yet. How can Your Majesty still walk after seeing her?"
The emperor's daughter-in-law was all in the capital, and although it was said that Princess Xiao Jing of the Southern Tang Dynasty had been ordered to come to Hangzhou to accompany her, she hadn't arrived yet after all.
What if the emperor is obsessed with lust now?
Zhang Ye looked at Zhang Qingzi and felt that the emperor would never let this woman go if he saw her. We are all men and we don't know who she is.
Zhao Bing smiled bitterly and said: "You are right, but she is also a messenger after all. The two armies are fighting and will not kill the messenger. Besides, what they want to see is the emperor. Things related to the emperor are not something you and I can interfere with. If you don't want to
When she sees the emperor, let her stay in the military camp and we will report it."
Zhao Bing whispered: "You can't make mistakes. We will have to fight in the future. Because of a small mistake, you will lose the credit of destroying the country. It's not worth it!"
Zhang Ye thought for a while, his face turned foul, and he asked someone to take Zhang Qingzi down, and then wrote a letter to the emperor.
Lao Zhu received Zhang Ye's memorial the next night. After reading it, he turned around and asked Wang Zhonghou: "Is the Zhang family beautiful? Why didn't you report before that there are other beauties among the wealthy families in the southeast?"
Wang Zhonghou suddenly turned pale and knelt down quickly: "Your Majesty, it's not that the old slave didn't report back. When leaving the palace, the Queen Mother told the old slave to take care of yourself!"
Zhu Youde's face twitched. It turned out to be the Queen's intention. He smiled and said: "I'm just asking, I must have other ideas!"
That’s what I say, but others don’t know what kind of person you are, and I don’t know yet.
Seeing Wang Zhonghou looking at him innocently, Zhu Youde said angrily: "Old man, what do you mean? You are despising the king and want to behead!"
