(It is indeed difficult for everyone to take the initiative to speak. So let me simply ask, are there any problems with writing this book in the way it is now? If so, what are the problems?)
Next, Zhao Yanxun stayed behind the scenes and asked Yang Qi to gather everyone in Zhuangzi and announce the new rules in Zhuangzi.
"Everyone in the village, young and old, from today on, we are the subjects of His Highness King Yong!"
This was the first sentence Yang Qi told everyone, and then he described the next arrangements, and everyone in Zhuangzi would be mobilized.
All rules are in accordance with the royal palace system.
The changes in Zhuangzi have not had much impact on ordinary people. They were initially instigated by Yang He, but now they can be easily subdued by Zhao Yanxun.
Even the members of the Yang family are not monolithic in nature. Some people are happy and some are sad at the moment.
But again, it's not that important to Zhao Yanxun, because the lion doesn't care what the ant thinks.
Yang Qi was speaking outside, with the palace guards watching behind him, while Zhao Yanxun was resting at Yang's house.
In the main hall of the Yang family, Zhang Meng stood in front of Zhao Yanxun. He looked extremely restrained at this moment.
"In a few days, the palace's army will be here. Then you and your mother will ride on the palace's grain truck to Yuanyang!"
Hearing Zhao Yanxun's arrangement, Zhang Meng nodded excitedly. There was finally hope that my mother's illness could be cured.
I heard Zhao Yanxun say again: "I see that you are loyal and honest, and I want you to stay in the palace and serve as a guard in front of the palace... Are you willing?"
The word "loyalty" is very superficial. Those who were left by Zhao Yanxun were all stupid and straightforward people. Lin Dagui and Zhang Meng were both such people.
Such a person does not have too many thoughts and ideas, and will resolutely carry out the emperor's orders, so Zhao Yanxun can stay by his side with peace of mind.
"I am willing!" Zhang Meng knelt down and kowtowed.
After waving his hand, Zhao Yanxun said bluntly: "Okay... Lin Dagui, take him out and tell him everything you need to explain!"
"As you command!"
Under the leadership of Lin Dagui, Zhang Meng followed all the way out.
As soon as he walked out of the hall, Lin Dagui couldn't help but said: "Boy, the front guard of the hall is a full-time guard for the prince, and he will not leave for a moment!"
"You are a wild and wild man, but if you are so valued by the prince, please don't betray the prince's trust!"
When Lin Dagui said this, his tone was vaguely threatening, which made Zhang Meng extremely unhappy.
"Your Majesty has been kind to me and my mother, how could I let him down?" Zhang Meng glared at Lin Dagui.
"Whoever dares to disrespect the prince in the future, I will be the first to chop off his head!"
Zhang Meng's rough words were directly transmitted to the lobby, and Zhao Yanxun smiled. He wanted such a talent.
Besides, outside, Lin Dagui saw Zhang Meng's loyalty. The two of them were the same kind of people, and Zhang Meng was relatively "stupid".
So next, Lin Dagui introduced some things about the palace guard to Zhang Meng, and Zhang Meng also took the initiative to talk about his own situation.
Only then did Lin Dagui find out that Zhang Meng was originally a guard soldier and was stationed in Hecheng County. He was scattered by zombies and fled to Yangjiazhuang with his mother.
…………
As for the other half, Yang Qi spent a lot of time explaining the rules to the people in the village.
He is over sixty years old and is considered to be on his deathbed in this era. The speech just now made him extremely tired.
The villagers slowly dispersed, and the guards at the front of the palace also left. Yang Ancai quickly stepped forward and helped his old father slowly leave.
Most of the Yang family members had already left, so Yang Qi and his son were the only ones on the way back, making them look quite lonely as the sun set.
"Dad, you have to have a good rest when you go back. You are tired today too!" Yang An persuaded.
Yang Qi walked forward tremblingly, saying slowly: "I can't rest, I can't rest!"
After saying this, Yang Qi stopped, looked at Yang An and said: "Not only can I not rest as a father, but you can't rest either, otherwise a disaster may be imminent!"
"Is this? Could it be that King Yong wants to kill the donkey?"
Yang Qi shook his head, and then said: "I want to kill the donkey, but it is not King Yong, but our tribesmen!"
"this……"
Yang An was a little confused, and Yang Qi didn't have time to test him, so he said bluntly: "Those people in the clan pushed my father out as a scapegoat, not because they wanted my father to be the head of the family!"
"Now things have changed. Not only did my father not die, but he was rewarded by the prince with a job. What do you think the people in the clan will think?"
The human heart is the most sinister. Yang An had no doubts about this, so he revealed it at this moment.
"So what my father is saying is that these people are causing trouble behind your back?"
Yang Qi nodded and continued: "When your grandfather passed away, the position of the head of the family fell into the hands of Yang He's son, who was not a direct descendant. Over the years, he suppressed and ostracized his father in the clan, and many people in the clan became adulterers.
Let’s settle this matter!”
The reason why Yang He was able to become the head of the family was very clear to Yang An. It was just because he passed the imperial examination.
"Now that our father and son are on the rise, are they willing to accept it?"
When Yang Qi talked about this, it reminded Yang An of the grievances he had suffered over the years, and he strongly agreed with his old father's words.
"Father, since they are going to cause trouble, why don't we inform the prince and catch them all?" Yang An suggested a way.
"Where's the evidence? They're not going to defend themselves?"
Yang Qi blocked Yang An back with just one word.
"Before the royal army arrives, we, father and son, must keep a close eye and make sure nothing goes wrong!"
Speaking of this, Yang Qi said in a more solemn tone: "This matter is not only about the pride of my father and son, but also about our lives and fortunes!"
Yang An nodded. He couldn't help but think of the heads of Yang He and his son, which were hanging on the big locust tree in the center of Zhuangzi.
"This is an opportunity. You must practice more. You may have great potential in the future!" Yang Qi squeezed the back of his son's hand and said.
Yang An shook his head and said helplessly: "Relying on others and relying on others, how can you do so much!"
After he finished speaking, Yang Qi scolded: "Short-sighted, you have read so many books, but you are still short-sighted!"
"I see that His Highness King Yong has great ambitions. He is the most heroic person in these troubled times. If you follow him... you may not be able to make some achievements!"
"Father, do you also believe in this King Yong? Why?" Yang An asked more and more humbly.
"Your Highness has a calm demeanor, which shows that he has confidence and strength. You don't understand this?"
"As soon as he opened his mouth, he said he wanted to eliminate the monsters in Hecheng. But he just ignored such a big event. Doesn't that explain the problem?"
Being watched repeatedly by his father, Yang An was immediately ashamed. At this moment, he just felt that he was too useless.
"Father, my son is stupid..."
Yang Qi did not agree, but said: "If you don't think much about these things, you are naturally not very good at them!"
"In the future, you will have to bear more burdens!"
Yang An nodded and replied: "Yes, son, remember it!"
Over the years, in order to keep the family alive, his father must have endured a lot silently... Yang An thought to himself.
Just listen to Yang Qi continue to say: "To suppress those people, we can't do it alone, we need to find some helpers!"
"Who are you looking for?"
"There are many frustrated people in the clan, as well as those young people in the village who are capable of causing trouble. They can all be our helpers!"
