When Zhao Yanxun entered Bei'an Mansion, the news that he wanted to summon officers from a thousand households and above had spread to all departments in Beidi County.
The Forbidden Army was the first to receive the news, after all, they were the closest.
They had no choice, so they simply asked the surrendered "hundred households" to find out the specific time to arrive in Bei'an Prefecture and what they needed to prepare.
In Zhuangzi where the Huben Guards were stationed, looking at Wang Zhiping and others with normal expressions, Yang Qing couldn't help but ask: "You don't seem to be worried at all?"
Wang Zhiping said indifferently: "What are you worried about? What is there to worry about?"
"If His Highness King Yong wants to kill us, we won't be able to escape. If he doesn't kill us, there's no need to be afraid!"
Yang Qing smiled and said: "Since you are still alive, the prince will not kill you, so you can rest assured!"
Speaking of this, Yang Qing sighed: "Your Majesty was ordered by heaven, and he only wants to save the common people. He will not be like you!"
"For the prince, how to keep the surrendered 100,000 troops alive and how to get Beidi County to resume production as soon as possible is his top priority!"
"So I guess that the main reason for calling you here this time is to reassure you and help you return to normalcy as soon as possible, so that you can carry out the royal decree!"
Hearing what Yang Qing said, Wang Zhiping couldn't help but be stunned.
He was talking about his own life and death just now. Although he seemed very calm, it also showed that he cared about life and death and thought that Zhao Yanxun wanted to manipulate their lives and deaths.
But after hearing Yang Qing's words, Wang Zhiping really felt that King Yong's heart was completely different from that of a mortal like him.
King Yong is definitely incomparable, but Wang Zhiping, who has thousands of households in the imperial army, cannot even compare to Yang Qing, who has a hundred households.
"Anyway, you'll know when you go there!" Wang Zhiping said with a smile.
After hearing Yang Qing's words, he felt much relieved.
In fact, this is also a common phenomenon among the Forbidden Army. They have no choice, so they have to go. They can only think about it with an open mind.
The senior officers of the Beidi Dusi had already arrived at Bei'an Fucheng in advance, and they could only wait for their fate to come with a resigned attitude.
But fortunately, with Yan Jianzhang to calm everyone down, their mentality is not that bad.
Those who are really confused are the senior officials staying in Longwei Mansion and Fengsui Mansion.
They had the least contact with Prince Yong's Mansion, and faced the sudden summons, these people felt uneasy.
What if I go and be beheaded by King Yong?
At this time, these senior officials were still staying in Longwei Mansion, and they were all in Wu Jianqing's yamen.
"What does King Yong mean when he calls us over? Do we want to go?"
"Or, let's only go with half of the people, and the rest will stay to see the situation..."
At this time, someone asked: "If some people are left behind, it would be against King Yong's edict. Wouldn't that offend King Yong?"
Everyone was under the roof, either everyone would go or none of them would go, there was no middle ground.
At this moment, a voice sounded outside the room: "Master Dudu, Dudu Ding is here!"
"Why is he here?"
"Could it be that Lord Wu invited him?"
Ding Hong surrendered in advance and had a closer relationship with Prince Yong's Mansion, so he was not invited to this meeting.
In the main seat, Wu Jianqing replied: "He found it himself and has nothing to do with me!"
This is indeed none of his business, it was entirely brought about by Ding Hong himself.
It is not difficult to find these things when the commanders and envoys gather together. It is even easier to find them.
At this moment, footsteps could be heard outside, and soon everyone saw Ding Hong pushing the door open and entering.
Standing at the door, Ding Hong said loudly: "I knew you were hiding here one by one..."
Seeing everyone looking at him with displeasure, Ding Hong didn't feel panic at all.
"Let me tell you, where will your food come from in two or three months?"
"Either you rob me now, or I rob you, maybe I can survive for a few more months..."
"Either we work together to rob Bei'an Mansion or Longyou... In that case, why bother returning to Prince Yong's Mansion? Wouldn't it be better to fight there now?"
"Either be honest, follow His Royal Highness King Yong's order, and take people to Bei'an Mansion!"
"There are only three choices. Is it really that difficult to choose? How many hours do you need to discuss it here together?"
Having said this, Ding Hong spoke faster and faster: "I really don't know what you are thinking in your heads!"
"Everyone is coquettish and has no masculinity at all. It's really embarrassing to be with you!"
With a "pop" sound, a bearded man stood up and roared angrily: "Ding Hong, don't pretend to be so big here, who do you think you are...why are you lecturing us?"
Ding Hong was not afraid at all and sneered: "Zhou Lixing, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the brothers of Hengshan Dusi, right?"
"Having blocked your brothers' way of survival, don't forget the fate of those people from the Forbidden Army. The heads of people like Xu Longsheng, Liu Shili, and Zhu Jihong are still hanging on the tower of Bei'an Mansion!"
This sentence alone made Zhou Lixing, the envoy of Hengshan, lose his temper.
People like Xu Longsheng and Liu Shili were all killed by their brothers.
The reason is, as Ding Hong said, just because they blocked the way of life for the people below.
Now that all the governors have surrendered to the palace, all the soldiers are looking forward to the arrival of good times. If a few of them do something wrong, they will directly offend the brothers below to death.
What will happen then is really hard to describe...
After hearing these words, everyone at the scene was silent, and they all thought of the terrible consequences.
Walking to one of the empty seats, Ding Hong sat down on his own, and then poured himself a cup of tea.
"Everyone... don't make a wrong step and you will regret it for the rest of your life!"
Everyone wanted to say something, but at this moment they couldn't say a word.
After a few breaths, Wu Jianqing spoke again: "No matter what your plans are, I will follow the prince's order and lead thousands of households to Bei'an Mansion!"
Seeing Wu Jianqing speaking resolutely, everyone present was shocked. That was not your attitude just now.
"I will also follow His Highness's order and lead people to Bei'an Mansion!" Song Guoguo, the envoy of Nanyang, said.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Haiqing, the governor of Hexi Province, and Li Xun, the governor of Gyeonggi Province, both expressed their stance. Each of them changed their faces faster than turning the page of a book.
Only Zhou Lixing, the commander of Hengshan Capital, looked extremely ugly when he was being held up. After all, he had just said those words and needed a step up at this moment.
At this time Ding Hong said: "I said, Lao Zhou, are you mute? Everyone has spoken, but you are the only one who doesn't fit in?"
"Everyone, I think Lao Zhou doesn't want to be our brother anymore!"
On the surface, he was teasing Zhou Lixing, but in fact, Ding Hong was actually setting him up.
"Who said I don't want to be brothers with you? Why don't we just go to Bei'an Mansion? I will take my brothers there too!"
Having said this, Zhou Lixing sat back on his chair and said very forcefully: "Anyway, I, Old Zhou, have surrendered. It is up to him to deal with it as His Highness King Yong wants to do!"
Ding Hong laughed and said slowly: "Don't worry, His Highness King Yong has always been benevolent and will not harm us!"
"I advise you to think more about how you can be loyal to His Highness and help His Highness clear up troubled times after surrendering to the palace!"
"Maybe we need to kill this monster in Beidi County!"
After hearing this, Wu Jianqing couldn't help but ask: "Do you really want to be clean?"
Ding Hong nodded and said: "I heard Gao Yongfa say that all the prefectures in the North must be cleaned up, all the cities must be restored, and the fields must be cultivated again... everything is on par with Longyou!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Restoring the Northland was a huge project in their hearts.
