MTL - All Over the World To Save My Wife-Chapter 20 The Emperor and the Concubine (19)
============================
.
Gu Zhong received daily reports from all over the world, all complaining about the difficulty of implementing the New Deal. Seeing her heart ignite, she slapped the table and immediately decided to inspect and monitor in person.
That morning was like chicken flying and dogs jumping around. This group of noble families had never dealt with the king who wanted to go out in a car without a word.
The emperor has always been concerned about safety, especially now that the new dynasty is still short-lived, and the former dynasty has frequent chaos.
It stands to reason that the average person was assassinated not long ago, and he should have cherished his life, but he is not afraid of these.
Let her stay motionless in the capital, blindfolded, unable to see the real situation of the whole country, which is even more unbearable.
The old pedants who followed the etiquette system desperately opposed it according to what the family had envisaged, and said that their mouths were dry, and they did not care about oil and salt.
The people who had nothing to do had to focus on Ling Yan, the emperor, the emperor should listen to his teacher, right?
Unexpectedly, Ling Yan continued to follow and care about Zhong, and they suddenly realized, but just forgot, this is the emperor's loyal supporter, and also the New Deal proposer, and they can't count on it at all.
In the midst of unwillingness, the emperor's tour was settled in this way.
This time, Gu Zhong did not forget to take Ling Yan with him.
As for the court, Gu Zhong left Gu Yang in the capital to supervise the country, which made everyone amazed at her trust in her sister.
Among the counties, Qinghe County is the most troubled. Because it belongs to the prince's fief, he is self-righteous, and Gu Yang is not there. Those noble families are even more arrogant, but Qinghe is the Guanzhong Tianfu. Nearly a quarter of the national treasury's annual tax revenue comes from this.
Gu Zhong's first place to go is here. It's early summer, and from Xijing down the waterway, the water is fast, and within ten days, you can reach the Qinghe Wharf.
.
Attitude, those chaotic parties who want to secretly attack, but have to weigh a thing or two.
The journey was safe and sound. When we arrived in Qinghe County, the county governor of Qinghe County had led the nobles and nobles of the county to wait together at the dock. Sweaty, wet towel.
Gu Zhong has always disliked such a useless form, so he reprimanded him for a while, and then recounted his hard work to appease him, and he gave both kindness and kindness.
As a rogue king who has always been good at taking an inch and taking "advice", Gu Zhong took off his official hat and placed Ling Yan in the position of Qinghe County Governor temporarily. , to investigate and rectify the implementation of the New Deal.
If you still want to fool yourself later, you have to weigh it, whether the official hat on your head is worth it.
For a while, the Qinghe County was in a state of turmoil, and various institutions were operating efficiently. The emperor personally supervised them, and no one wanted to lose their office due to poor performance.
Several small nobles were pushed out as shields to test Gu Zhong's attitude, and they were directly cut from the title and reduced to white.
Although for an aristocratic family like the Yuan clan, it does not involve a major crime of treason, and even the emperor cannot easily attack it, but it is still feasible to cut some branches and leaves and beat it.
to civilians.
Those aristocratic families instantly lost half of their real estate, even if there is still room for maneuvering, such as throwing away those useless wasteland, it still feels a lot of pain.
The New Deal was launched in Qinghe County with unprecedented smoothness. According to the land-equalization system, every household in Qinghe has farmland, and the prohibition of large clan enclosures is a major event that is beneficial to people's livelihood. .
, is really bullying the soft and afraid of the hard.
Seeing that the situation in the first tour is very good, Gu Zhong is very happy. A few years ago, the depression that I couldn't get used to seeing the family has disappeared a lot. Now the world is up to her to write at will, The decline of the aristocratic family has become a general trend, and it is also a concern for her.
Coinciding with the day of the summer festival in Qinghe County, there was a lot of excitement. Gu Zhong thought that he should have fun with the people, and happily called a few close people to go to the street with him.
She has always had a fun-loving temperament, and she has suppressed herself a lot in the past two years, so Ling Yan might as well be the disgusting old pedant to dissuade her.
What's more, the law and order in Qinghe County has always been excellent, and it is expected that there will be no major incident.
"Today's scene reminds me of two years ago when I traveled with Ayan and my husband. Now it's not Xijing, and Ayan is not here. It's really uncomfortable."
Looking at the dazzling fireworks blooming in the night sky, Gu Zhong sighed in disappointment.
Looking at the splendid sky together, Ling Yan recalled the years, the young people traveled together, the intimate fellowship, and the intimacy. Inevitably, there was also a sense of disappointment in what was right and wrong, and my heart was sour.
"Why should you care, son? Different scenes, different people, but the same prosperous age."
Hiding her sadness, she lightly raised the folding fan in her hand and lit the crowd cheering for the celebration in front of her.
"I only wish that this prosperous world is prosperous, and the world's seas and rivers are clear. Even if the road is long and long, I will go there, and I will not regret it."
Seeing such a peaceful scene under the rule, Gu Zhong smiled softly, and his words were firm.
Ling Yan closed the folding fan fold by fold, listening to the people around her make great wishes.
—This prosperous world will be as you wish.
After all, Ling Yan placed too much trust in Qinghe's security, and she underestimated the madness of chaotic ministers and thieves.
—Next time, Gu Zhong will not be allowed to leave Beijing.
When a cannon barrel disguised as fireworks rolled down at their feet, Ling Yan pushed Gu Zhong away, thinking this.
The deafening explosion sounded in sync with the fireworks in the sky. The crowd who could dodge in the future became **** in the explosion, and the panicked crowd began to push and stamp.
Under the bright moonlight, a flash of cold light flashed to Ling Yan's eyes, and dozens of masked men in black jumped out of the surrounding restaurants and cafes. Ignoring the frightened people around me, I attacked them directly.
The city guards that should have appeared in time have not arrived yet. Even though Ling Yan is highly skilled in martial arts, he was dragged by a fighting formation. Gradually push away.
Ling Yan was anxious, and did not want to keep alive any more, so she relaxed the protection around her body, threw the folding fan and flew straight towards Gu Zhong, letting the blade slash on her body, using her hands as the The sword, the footwork became more and more treacherous, and the point was towards the assassin's throat. In an instant, the assassin fell most of the time and was killed by one move.
Seeing that the battle was about to end, another group of men in black jumped onto the roof, armed with rockets, and ignoring the enemy and me, they bent their bows and shot.
The assassins who were fighting with them hurriedly raised their swords to dodge.
—It doesn’t look like a group?
Finding a gap, Ling Yan led the remaining guards to protect Gu Zhong and moved quickly, trying to rush out of the ambush street, but was blocked by another team of assassins at the crossing.
Ling Yan passed a few tricks with the leader, and when he looked at the pair of fiercely bright eyes for the third time, a light flashed in his mind.
"In the cloud?"
The masked man took a bite, Ling Yan knew that he had not guessed wrong.
I just didn't expect Chen Moxian to have a share in today's assassination, why did he do this?
Or something went wrong?
The person who is loyal to the cloud is not Chen Moxian?
"Chen Moxian lied to you, maybe you should go back to Xijing and visit your mother at Mozi Lane in the east of the city."
Thousands of thoughts passed by, Ling Yan opened her mouth and said tentatively.
The eyes of hatred widened instantly, full of disbelief.
Seeing this reaction, Ling Yan knew that the deeds had not changed, so she felt relieved.
Chen Moxian still replaced Yunzhong halfway, but the news he got of Yunzhong's mother's death was Ling Yan's blinding trick, just to change to Yunzhong to kill.
“How can I trust you?”
The cloud spoke, and the hoarse voice was extremely harsh.
"If your Majesty and I die here today, you will never see your mother again."
Ling Yan sneered, she is not a kind person, she has already left behind.
At this time, the sound of neat running is getting closer, presumably the city guards are late, but I don't know if they are here to rescue or collect the corpse.
Yunzhong's subordinates kept attacking, but with a lot of strength, she was silent for a moment, then glanced coldly at Gu Zhong who was on the side, let out a whistle, and retreated abruptly.
This team of well-trained assassins disappeared into the vast night in an instant, everyone was exhausted, they dared not chase, and could only watch helplessly.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being late!"
"I don't even know, what is more important than the security in the city? How long has it been since the incident? There are countless people killed and injured, so you are protecting Qinghe?"
Gu Zhong gritted his teeth, rushed up and kicked the county captain to the ground.
"The minister is convicted."
That Jun Weifu got up again and knelt down at Gu Zhong's feet.
Ling Yan couldn't see his expression, but an alarm bell sounded in her heart, something was wrong! Intuition that there is something wrong with this person.
"Be careful!" She quickly rushed to Gu Zhong's body, pushed her away, unfolded the folding fan, blocked the fiercely slashing blade, and let go of the force.
However, this knife can be said to have tried his best. If an ordinary person had been split in half, Ling Yan would have to suffer this knife on his left shoulder in the end, and the wound was deeply visible.
No one could have imagined that the commander of a city would jump up and assassinate the emperor in public.
"The sins of the ministers were carefully planned today, and they failed to kill your Gu clan's thieves."
After saying this, before the frightened county chief could take him down, the county chief stabbed himself.
"Sir!"
Assassin was slaughtered, Ling Yan, who had lost too much blood, could no longer support it.
Before she fell down, Gu Zhong's panic and worry were reflected in her eyes, and she was also mixed with deep panic and remorse.
—What are you regretting? take care of...
