Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The territory of Liao was several times that of Xixia, and the emperor of Xixia could only take one of the princesses of the Liao emperor as his queen.  In the eyes of the people, the prince could defeat the emperor of Liao, let alone the emperor of Xixia.

    But Ren Liang didn¡¯t see it that way. The Liao Kingdom sent only 50,000 troops, but Xixia sent 400,000 troops. It was obvious which of the two was stronger and weaker.

    Of course the people don¡¯t know this, in order to avoid people panic.  The Di newspaper only publicized the prince's defeat of the Liao Kingdom, and did not mention how many soldiers and horses the Liao Kingdom dispatched.

    The people just habitually believed that the Liao Kingdom must have more soldiers and horses than Xixia.

    Chao Yong leads the way on the street, but he is not afraid of assassinations. Even if someone on both sides stabs them with a crossbow, he can dodge them with his reaction speed.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Zhaoye Jade Lion, a majestic weapon, and an extraordinary heroic prince.

    This picture obviously satisfies the curiosity of the people and is also consistent with the description in the newspaper. The reason why the prince is so powerful is because he is a god descended from heaven, not because the prince is one foot tall and eight feet around the waist.

    After the prince passed by, the people on both sides dared to discuss it.

    Chao Yong listened to the praise from the people behind him, and also secretly praised Wu Yong and others' strategy.

    After the capture of Tokyo, Chao Yong no longer deliberately promoted the fact that he was the star who descended to earth and was entrusted by the Nine Heavens Xuannv Empress in his dream, because he knew that smart people would not believe it. If he kept bragging, he might not know how many people would laugh later.  However, Wu Yong and Zhao Mingcheng suggested that Di Bao continue to publicize the matter, saying that it would be easier to conquer the world and appease the people.

    Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty killed the White Snake to revolt, and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty even directly said that he was a descendant of the Taoist god Laozi Li Er. Both of them were considered outstanding men of their generation, but they both talked about these gods and ghosts. It can be seen that there are many things about gods and ghosts.  market.

    Although it cannot fool smart people, it is enough to fool the common people.

    In fact, these things are done by smart people.  Those who can brag about Dharma can directly establish a sect and deceive countless generations of disciples.  For smaller things, occasionally create some auspiciousness, divine punishment, etc., for your own use.

    But Chao Yong¡¯s myth is half true and half fictional. As long as Chao Yong can remain invincible, his reputation as a god descending to earth will not be questioned.

    It¡¯s not that Chao Yong doesn¡¯t know the benefits of deception.  It's just that he's not that thick-skinned and doesn't want to keep pretending when some people don't believe him.  But after Wu Yong and others talked about this, Chao Yong couldn't admit that he was talking nonsense before, so he could only shamelessly continue to conquer the world in the name of a god descending to earth.

    "catch him"

    "catch him"

    "Don't let him run that way."

    When you reach an intersection.  Suddenly there was a shout from the left.

    I saw a few policemen chasing a big man on the road over there. The big man quickly rushed into the crowd of people watching.

    When Ren Liang saw this, he couldn't help but scream in his heart, and hurriedly shouted to the soldiers standing on the street: "Catch him."

    "If someone assassinated the prince under his rule, it would be a crime to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan.  Even though the attacker could not assassinate the prince, he still managed to attack him.  Being impeached by an official is a crime, no matter how big or small.

    People nearby thought there was an assassin, for fear of being accidentally injured, and some cried for father and mother.  Someone squeezed out, and in an instant, there was chaos.

    When Shi Yong and Xue Yong saw him, they hurried forward on horseback.  Protect Chao Yong on both sides.

    Chao Yong, however, showed no trace of panic and pointed at the man squeezing around in the crowd.  Said: "Go get him."

    Ren Liang saw that the man was just moving among the crowd, and he also saw that the man was not an assassin, but was just trying to avoid the police behind him.  Seeing Chao Yong's calm and composed look, he also knew that the prince was probably not only invincible in power, but also had excellent martial arts skills.

    The man came and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape, but Chao Yong stared at him on his horse, leaving him nowhere to hide.

    Under Chao Yong¡¯s guidance, Shi Yong and Xue Yong quickly separated from the crowd and found the man.

    The man refused to escape and did not resist. He allowed Shi Yong and Xue Yong to twist their arms and escort him to the middle of the road.

    When the people on both sides saw that the culprit was caught, they no longer panicked and watched curiously.

    Chao Yong saw that this man didn't look afraid, and he was a little curious. He motioned to Shi Yong and Xue Yong to let go of this man, and said with a smile: "Why are you being arrested and chased after him?"

    The man clasped his fists and said, "Because the villain is selling green salt."

    Chao Yong asked curiously: "Private salt?"

    Ren Liang saw that Chao Yong didn't know, so he rode forward and explained: "Green salt is salt produced in Xixia. Most of Xixia's fiscal revenue comes from the sale of salt. After the invasion of Xixia, the lower officials banned the sale of green salt."

    When Chao Yong heard this, he said to the man: "You look like you are also from Guanzhong."Han people, since green salt is produced in Xixia, and now the two countries are at war, wouldn't you be supporting the enemy by selling green salt?  "

    "The villain doesn't want to sell green salt, but before the Xixia invasion, the villain bought a lot of green salt and prepared to sell it. Unexpectedly, the villain just bought the goods, the damn Xixia people invaded, and the government also ordered a ban on the sale of green salt  , this batch of goods is in the hands of the villain. The villain originally did not dare to break the law, but during this period, the remaining money in his hands was spent, and there was still a mother waiting for dinner at home. Today I heard that the officers and soldiers were here.  , then I wanted to secretly sell some green salt and get some money for my mother to eat. "

    Ren Liang scolded: "It's full of nonsense. It used to be illegal to smuggle green salt, but you said you didn't dare to break the law."

    The man argued: "In peacetime, there are so many green salt sellers. The policemen turn a blind eye, and the villains are just trying to make ends meet. If the arrests are strict, the villains and I will also be caught."  Filial piety would never do such a thing.¡±

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "How many days will it take for your green salt to be sold out?"

    The man thought for a while and said: "Green salt is easy to sell, but the court has not allowed it to be sold during this period. The salt in people's homes should have been used up. If the court doesn't catch it, it will be sold out in two or three days."

    Chao Yong turned to Ren Liang and said: "These salts are now in the hands of my people. Let's see if Mr. Ren can be accommodating for a few days and let them sell the salt. Anyway, the money will not go to Xixia.  "

    Ren Liang nodded and said: "The official also considered this issue at the beginning and allowed them to sell it for three days before banning it. It seems that this man sold a lot of green salt."

    The man yelled at Qu and said: "After the adults posted the list, everyone was rushing to buy it, and the people were also thinking of fleeing. No one was willing to buy more, and the villain couldn't sell it even if he wanted to. A few merchants collected salt, but they raised the price  It¡¯s so low that if you sell it to them, you might as well scatter it in the river.¡±

    Ren Liang said helplessly: "There is nothing I can do about it. If we let them sell it slowly, those unscrupulous businessmen will sell more salt from Xixia."

    Chao Yong nodded and said: "Ren Gong allowed them to sell for three days, which is already good. But I didn't expect that there are still businessmen who are preparing to make a fortune from the national crisis. They must be thinking about selling at a high price in the future, or transporting it to the inland. Let me check later.  Let¡¯s look at some merchants who lowered the price to collect salt. The government confiscated all the salt and distributed it to the people in the city. "

    Ren Liang didn't pay attention to the salt collector at first. After hearing the prince's instructions, he hurriedly said: "This official has neglected his duty. Please punish me."

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "In those days, Mr. Ren must have been busy appeasing the people. Those businessmen did not affect the people. It is normal that Mr. Ren did not pay attention. What crime is there? Mr. Ren, what does this person do?"

    Ren Liang was not stubborn. He nodded and said: "After the government publishes the list, no one should go to Xixia to sell green salt. You can let them sell the salt in their hands for another three days. But how to punish this person for attacking the prince?  Please give me your instructions.¡±

    Chao Yong also knew that Ren Lianggen did not want to punish this person, otherwise there would be no need to ask him how to punish him.  In full view of the public, he could not punish this man. If Ren Liang really wanted to punish this man, he would definitely not mention this.  After he leaves, if Ren Liang punishes this person again, then some people will talk about it, and they will only say that Ren Liang killed him in order to please the prince, and the prince had no idea about it.

    The way to be an official is to have the courage to take the blame for your boss.  Of course, you can't take the blame that can crush someone to death. You have to rush to take the blame that is insignificant but can please your boss.

    Is this person guilty?

    Yes, no matter what the reason is, it is a sin to bump into the prince.

    Chao Yong thought for a while and said: "Since your original intention was to support my mother, I will pardon your innocence and go back."

    When the man heard Chao Yong saying that he was not guilty, he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, Prince, for your great kindness."

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "Daliang only kneels to his ancestors and parents. Get up, sell salt, and support my mother well."

    The man kowtowed three times, got up and stepped aside.

    Chao Yong nodded to the man and rode off to the government office.

    When the man saw Chao Yong leaving, he couldn't help shouting excitedly: "The prince is a thousand years old."

    Seeing that the prince was so considerate of the people, the people on both sides also started shouting, and the sound shocked the whole city.
