different devil life

After finishing the painting, Gao Yan suddenly discovered that although the general in this painting was tall, he lacked charm.

"King Yang Chuang is in danger!"

Gao Yan said lightly.

Chapter 648 Gao Yan's Plan

After Gao Yan finished speaking, the sound of messy footsteps came from outside.

Before anyone arrived, Gao Yan said: "Housekeeper, it's slippery outside, walk slowly."

"Master, King Yang Chuang's army was defeated. King Yang Chuang and his generals fled separately, but they were betrayed by his subordinates. In the end, they were arrested in King Yang Chuang's hometown, and King Yang Chuang killed himself on the spot."

The butler finished speaking in one breath, thinking that his young master would be surprised, but Gao Yan smiled lightly: "It's as I expected."

Even though Gao Yan was always at home, he actually had many eyes and ears outside, collecting all kinds of information for him.

Earlier, after learning that King Yang Chuang's subordinates were committing crimes in the city, raping and looting, Gao Yan immediately concluded that King Yang Chuang was in danger.

In fact, it is easy to explain that Yang Yunzhang relied on the support of the people at the bottom to make his fortune.

But after he succeeded for the first time, he broke his promise to the people and lost the support of the people. Naturally, King Yang Chuang was defeated like a mountain.

"It's still the young master who knows things like a god."

"By the way, have you found the person I'm looking for?" Gao Yan asked.

"Brought it."

As the butler said, he hurried out, and soon an old man was helped in by him.

"Master, Mr. Qiu is here." The housekeeper said.

The old man is Qiu Renzhong who escaped from the battlefield.

Even Qiu Renzhong didn't know that the soldier who rescued him was actually Gao Yan's informant.

"Old Qiu, you've worked hard all the way." Gao Yan helped Qiu Renzhong to sit down.

Qiu Renzhong was flattered, he still didn't know what this young man was brought here for.

But from the current point of view, it is not bad that these people did not hand him over to the court.

"Excuse me, why did you bring me here?" Qiu Renzhong was surprised, and said, "You should know that I am a criminal and wanted by the court. It will be very troublesome to keep me here if someone finds out."

"Of course I know, but now that the Dayan Dynasty is about to die, if something happens to someone like Mr. Qiu, wouldn't it be a big loss?"

Gao Yan smiled lightly. Ever since Yang Yunzhang's uprising, Gao Yan had been paying attention to the place. For this reason, he sent several insiders in to investigate the situation.

Judging from the situation obtained from insiders, many things Yang Yunzhang did were suggestions provided by this Qiu Renzhong, so Yang Yunzhang respectfully called him a military adviser.

So Gao Yan told the insider that if Yang Yunzhang was defeated, Qiu Renzhong must be rescued.

"Uh...Master Gao, what do you mean..." Qiu Renzhong seemed to know something.

"Old Qiu also understands, so he should know what I'm talking about. In today's world, the emperor is fatuous and incompetent, and the common people suffer. Hooligans, bandits, and robbers appear frequently. Poor ordinary people are exploited by the court, landlords, and robbers in turn. Suffering from this disaster, there is no way to survive."

"With no way out, people like Yang Yunzhang will naturally appear."

"It's a pity that Yang Yunzhang has a lot of pride, but his character destined him to have too much power, so the army was defeated like a mountain, and the so-called Great Min Dynasty was only a flash in the pan."

"And I, Gao Yan, have already made all kinds of preparations. Now my Gao family has [-] private soldiers. Among them, I have a very good relationship with the major families."

"Nowadays, the imperial court is obviously ruthless to the major landlords. To be honest, I only need to raise my arms, and the major families will definitely support me. At that time, I conservatively estimate that there will be [-] troops and horses to support me."

"Not only that, these years, I have been generous and sympathetic to the suffering of the people every year. I have already gained a high prestige in this area. I believe that many insightful people will join me by then. At that time, I will count as 20 It is not surprising that Wanjunmao."

"What's more, my family has many advisors. With your support this time, Mr. Qiu, I, Gao Yan, will definitely be able to conquer the Great Yan Dynasty!"

Gao Yan never said so much in one breath.

Because in his opinion, most of the people around him are too stupid, and he doesn't like to talk to stupid people.

Qiu Renzhong was one of the few people he felt qualified to let him talk so much.

Qiu Renzhong nodded slightly: "Okay, I didn't expect that Young Master Gao had planned such a detailed plan. I, Qiu, really underestimated you."

"Then Mr. Qiu agreed to assist me?"

Qiu Renzhong sighed: "Of course I agreed, but now I suspect that there are capable people in the court."

"I guess so too."

Gao Yan frowned. Although the Great Yan Dynasty was precarious recently, a series of policies seemed to be chaotic.

For example, when many corrupt officials were killed, some people estimated that there would be chaos in the world. The emperor was forcing those ministers to rebel.

Unexpectedly, those ministers were suppressed in the end.

After that, the landlords were beaten and the local tyrants were killed, which made people panic, but even so, they were all suppressed in the end.

Not only was there no chaos, but it became more stable.

Recently, the emperor also started overseas trade, and actually did business with those barbarians.

What kind of foreign affairs department has been established, and many huge houses have been built during the floods. I simply don't know what the hell the emperor is doing.

But Gao Yan felt that the emperor should have done nothing wrong, he must have intentions.

This series of operations is not quite like what the emperor did before, so Gao Yan doubts whether there are talents like Qiu Renzhong appearing around the emperor.

"So, the future emperor should not be treated with common sense, we should wait and see." Qiu Renzhong said.

"Old Qiu shares the same opinion as me, but in my opinion, even if there are capable people around the emperor, it will not be able to change the fate of the Great Yan Dynasty's collapse."

"Master Gao seems very confident." Qiu Renzhong was suspicious.

"Hehe, the barbarians on the frontier are staring at each other, and Xu Luye of Haiyan City has his own soldiers. No matter which opponent, it's hard to deal with. The current emperor wants to deal with them, and it can't be solved simply by having money, food and soldiers. , but also need... people's hearts."

"So Young Master Gao is now gathering people's hearts."

"That's right. Originally, Yang Yunzhang could do a good job, but it's a pity that he put too much emphasis on friendship and was killed by a group of his subordinates..."

Gao Yan sighed, and looked at Qiu Renzhong solemnly: "I will never make his mistakes again. This young master will be the next son of destiny. The current emperor is just a stepping stone for this young master to ascend the throne. I will take his The body is buried in the ground of the Golden Luang Hall!"

Looking at Gao Yan who is full of pride, Qiu Renzhong was also ignited with ambition: "I, Qiu Renzhong, will definitely support Young Master Gao with all my strength."

After speaking, he knelt down.

"Old Qiu, what are you doing, get up quickly."

Gao Yan is quite good at using people's hearts, and he doesn't like this kind of empty-headed things, so he quickly helped Qiu Renzhong up.

"Housekeeper, give me tea, today I want to have a good chat with Mr. Qiu."

Gao Yan said.

"Ok."

The housekeeper went down to prepare tea, Gao Yan asked: "Old Qiu, now that Yang Yunzhang's troops have perished and the Yan Dynasty has consolidated its position, next step, when do you think the Yan Dynasty will be in crisis?"

Qiu Renzhong replied: "This winter."

"Oh? Why?" Gao Yan asked.

"This winter is full of floods, and autumn is ahead of schedule. According to my observation of the sky at night, there may be a severe cold snap. When the time comes, the mountains will be covered by heavy snow and the victims will be everywhere. It is very likely that it will be the worst natural disaster in the history of the Great Yan Dynasty... "

"At that time, the entire Great Yan Dynasty will be shrouded in disaster victims, and people's grievances will be boiling. Even if the emperor has capable people around him, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with this situation..."

If Wang Zhong was here, he would be greatly surprised after hearing these words.

Because what Qiu Renzhong said was exactly what Wang Zhong was worried about before.

At the end of this year, the world was in chaos, and the emperor and concubines were burned alive in the palace.

"Old Qiu's words are very true. Now, let's wait for winter to come!"

Gao Yan said indifferently: "When I became emperor, it was the day when the emperor and his harem were burned to death by me..."

..............................

"Ah Choo, Ah Choo..."

"Who the hell is thinking about me behind my back?"

Wang Zhong muttered, and continued to correct the memorial in the hall.

"Your Majesty, it's cold, you have to take care of your dragon body and put on more clothes." He Taigao brought the clothes and said.

"It's okay."

Wang Zhong waved his hand, "I didn't sneeze because of the cold, it should be because someone said something about me behind my back."

"The emperor is really good at joking. Everyone in the world doesn't know the goodness of the emperor. Almost every day, someone praises the emperor behind his back for his love for the people."

"You are the only one who can flatter." Wang Zhong said helplessly.

"Heck, my lord, what this old slave is telling is the truth."

"Big companion, do you feel that the cold weather came earlier this year?"

"It seems so. The old slave got up in the morning and put on an extra coat to keep out the cold, but he was still shivering."

"Hey, the people are going to suffer again."

Wang Zhong shook his head: "Forget it, let's go to the Jinluan Palace first."

"Yes."

Come to the Golden Luan Hall, civil and military officials have been waiting for a long time.

Now a lot of fresh blood has been added to the civil and military officials. It is no longer the group of pedantic old men before, and there are some young reformers.

"Let's play something!" He Taigao shouted.

After the words fell, many ministers announced some things.

Because the matter of the flood and Yang Yunzhang's uprising army have been resolved, now it is mainly trivial matters.

It was almost done, and Wang Zhongcai looked at the two officials in charge of building big houses: "Master He, Lord Li, this year's flood, I arranged for you to build big houses in various places, how is it going?"

"Returning to the emperor, according to your instructions, two-thirds of a big house in each town has been built."

"Well, speed up. In addition, this kind of house must be warm, wind-resistant, and strong. If there is a slight mistake, you all have to peel it off and apologize."

Wang Zhong's tone was unquestionable, and the two adults were so frightened that they knelt down quickly with bitter expressions on their faces.

"Your Majesty, I have been personally supervising the work in the north, and I dare not neglect."

"My minister is also personally supervising the work in the south, and even sent his wife and children to supervise the work, in order to complete the task assigned by the emperor. Please check it out."

"So good."

Wang Zhong was happy in his heart, he didn't expect that he would frighten them casually and scare them like this. It seems that he has really become a tyrant in the minds of these ministers.

Just as he was talking, suddenly, Wang Zhong noticed that a snowflake drifted in from outside.

"Snowing…………"

Chapter 649 Blizzard is Coming

"Snowing…………"

No one expected that the heavy snow this year came so early that many people were not ready for the winter.

"Everywhere prepare food quickly. If something goes wrong in any place, you must report it as soon as possible. You must not hide the disaster. Anyone who hides the disaster will have their homes ransacked!"

Looking at the heavy snow outside the door, Wang Zhong gave the order mercilessly.

The officials went down in an orderly manner and hurriedly prepared. No one dared to neglect, because they all knew that what the emperor said was true.

Now they have figured out the emperor's temper, well done, the emperor's grievances and grievances are clear, and they will definitely reward them.

If it is not done well, if it is really due to external reasons, the emperor will not care about it.

But if the trouble is caused by your own reasons, once a big incident happens, you will never let it go lightly.

Therefore, no one dared to be negligent, especially the two ministers who were in charge of building the house. When they left the palace, one faced south and the other faced north. They rushed to prepare for Wang Zhong's order.

In the sky, there is heavy snow falling.
