Under normal circumstances, those who oppose the rulers of the feudal era will never end well. Although Ye An did not oppose the regime of the Song Dynasty, he could not hide the disgust radiating from his body.
His behavior of turning over the table is difficult for most people in the Song Dynasty to understand. With Ye An's status today, it is not bad to hang around in the court.
, with his shamelessness, he shouldn’t care, so why did he choose the most drastic way to leave?
Ye An chose to hang up his crown and leave when Liu E was in power, but at that time he had no trump cards and no power to make the ruler fearful.
It doesn't work anymore. He has a huge industry in the northwest, and countless people depend on him for their lives. Once he fails, everything he and Qin Mumu have fought for will disappear, and those who follow them to make a living will disappear.
People will be destitute or even liquidated.
Although it has been stored for many years, Xie Lingjun and Qin Mumu have always maintained the car well. Although the engine is a bit noisy, there is no problem with its operation, and the same is true for the tires. This is thanks to the couple who are constantly on the car when nothing happens.
Apply grease and isolate air to prevent oxidation.
The car was very comfortable to drive on the cement road. Even if it encountered potholes crushed by horses' hooves, it was just a bump. The shock-absorbing suspension system could still operate, which meant that the car had not reached the end of its life. Ye An was glad that he
I chose this solid domestic car, otherwise I don’t know what kind of accidents might happen.
After leaving Tokyo City, all worries and troubles were over. Even if Zhao Zhen sent cavalry to pursue him, it would not help. It was difficult for cavalry to fly in the dark night, but Zhao Hu, Tieniu and others were exceptions, because
There were two bright headlights guiding their way.
There is no full moon tonight, and everything around us became pitch black after leaving Tokyo City. Even if Tokyo City's imperial army pursued them with open fire, it would be almost impossible to overtake the Marquis' team.
Neither Ye An nor Qin Mumu had any plans to go to Zhuangzi outside the city. For them, it had been abandoned. All the people related to the Hou Mansion either went to Ganliang or were dismissed on the spot. They only stayed there.
It was just an empty shell. Before leaving, the people in Zhuangzi tried their best to take away or destroy valuable things. People who lived there all year round could do better than Ye An.
In this era, it is very easy to catch someone, because a person has his network of friends, relatives, teachers, classmates, etc., but it is very difficult to catch someone who has no heels. Ye An and Qin
Mu Mu was such a person. The couple had almost no friends in the Song Dynasty, let alone relatives. As for their teachers, classmates, etc., they were all deceased.
This is also the reason why Ye An left so simply. None of the civil servants and generals in the court wanted to see him. Zhao Zhen couldn't implicate anyone even if he wanted to. The only Cao family he was close to was the queen's relatives. How to deal with it?
It is not difficult for Ye An and Qin Mumu to rush on the road. Tieniu and Zhao Hu have already prepared rations with their soldiers. This team of more than 60 people is so powerful that it may be difficult for all the people along the way to the west.
Even the state capital could not intercept it, and they had to receive the news from the imperial court first. When the local state capital received the news, the Marquis's team rushed to an unknown distance.
The people of Tokyo City were destined to be unable to sleep. What they saw was too unbelievable, and the officials of Tokyo City exploded. The civil servants did not expect that Ye An would hang up his title and leave Tokyo City in such a most violent way.
They can't understand this behavior.
As for the generals, they were collectively silent. They didn't know what the armored monster was, but they knew that once that thing appeared on the battlefield, any army would probably face the greatest blow to morale.
Liu Zhong found Chen Lin who was very drunk in the Hou Mansion. At this time, he still had the appearance of a high-ranking official. His whole body was like old mud. He was sleeping soundly and couldn't wake up, even a basin of cold water.
After pouring it on, the old guy also blew the fountain and refused to wake up.
The subordinate Yu Hou suggested: "Should we use some means?"
With a helpless sigh, Liu Zhong waved his hand to repel his subordinates and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? We can't pry anything out of his mouth, leave it to the officials! Maybe the officials can ask something. After all, it's
The old slave who has been with the Tian family for many years can hide it from us, but he cannot hide it from the official family."
Chen Lin sobered up after entering the palace. She was so familiar with this place that she could walk from Donghua Gate to Gyeongbokgung Palace with her eyes closed, and she could find Liushangju by smell.
It's a pity that this time he didn't want to look at everything here, especially the face he had seen since childhood. He couldn't tell whether it was guilt or timidity, so he could only see Zhao Zhen like a decrepit old dog.
"Tell me why he wants to leave! Also tell me, this Tokyo city is really not as good as Liangzhou Prefecture, there is no place for him to miss... Or does it mean that he and I have no friendship at all?"
Chen Lin raised her eyelids and wondered when the official family had become like this. Ye An has never changed, the only one who has changed is the person in front of him!
"He does not want to stay in this place that is destined to decay. The old slave is an old man from the late emperor's dynasty. His lifelong wish is to enter the Yongding Mausoleum and continue to serve the late emperor. I hope your majesty will agree."
"I can change the law! I can change the ancestral system! I can help the Song Dynasty!"
Chen Lin once again raised her triangular eyes that had become old and said: "Guan Jia, you are the best, the most outstanding monarch who maintains the status quo, but you are not the hero of pioneering. Reform is too difficult for you, too difficult.
It's too tricky. We need to use thunderous means to cleanse most of the court and local prefectural and county governments. We need to take down the powerful people, beat the families, relatives, and clan members one by one, break the bones, and bruise the skin and flesh. We also need to be careful about their attacks.
Assassin the king and kills the driver... there will be a bloody storm in the entire Song Dynasty. There will be fierce fighting from top to bottom. Officials, censors, and bachelors will take sides... Can you do it? "
Zhao Zhen stopped talking in vain. He found that he could not do what Chen Lin said at all, so he could only speak stubbornly again: "I can slowly figure it out, I can slowly change the method, I can..."
Old Chen Lin shook her head: "What the officials said is true, but there is no time. The longer the delay, the deeper the country will be exhausted. This is what Ye An calculated based on empirical evidence. The land loss is too great, and the factory will
The oppression of the people is getting deeper and deeper. At first, they were still fighting for workers, but now that there are more workers, they are no longer valuable. With the land lost, even the last labor force is being squeezed continuously. It is only a matter of time before the country is in turmoil.
No one can change it."
"Then he, Ye An, just walked away like this? He didn't create these things! Otherwise... even if the land annexation is more severe, it is not so intense!"
"Your Majesty is right! He allowed the disaster to come early. At least it should be left to his descendants to deal with, but he left it to you..."
"Presumptuous!"
"Be bold!"
"Ye An Ye Changsheng!"
Zhao Zhen was like a wounded lion, roaring constantly... I don't know if he was scolding Chen Lin or Ye An, who had already left...
He knew that everything Chen Lin said was true, and he also knew that he could not clean up the mess in the Song Dynasty. Under the appearance of flowers and brocade, it was already burning with fire!
Others may not be able to see it, but Ye An has been a bachelor for many years, and Zhao Zhen’s understanding of society is better than that of many courtiers. He can see everything Ye An said through Chen Lin, but his self-esteem does not allow him to admit it.
.
"I'm afraid Ganliang will no longer be my Ganliang!"
Chen Lin trembled, and moved her lips for a long time without saying a word. Zhao Zhen glanced at him and couldn't help but kicked him: "Go away, go and keep vigil for Emperor Zhenzong, I never want to see you again!"
After all, he was an old chamberlain who had grown up with the emperor. Zhao Zhen was extremely angry but did not kill him. Instead, he gave him the last dignity. Chen Lin kowtowed at Zhao Zhen's back and did not get up for a long time.
At this time, Zhao Zhen felt that he was suddenly relieved. Ye An's departure made him shocked, angry, and at the same time a little lucky. For some reason, deep down in his heart, he hoped that this man from Yunzhong County who was once a teacher and friend would be better.
