The officials and gentry of Bozhou have been kneeling at the gate of the city for nearly two hours. However, Jian Guo and Li Zhongyi's car still did not appear.

Some of the old gentlemen who are old and frail are almost unable to survive. Their knees hurt and their waist was numb, their bodies were shaky, and they really had no ruts, so they simply lay on their stomachs with their hands on the ground, which was a little better.

However, the safety of the loser's family is still hanging in the air and is not stable.

Snatching the country is never a dinner party, it is a top-level political and military struggle with a rolling head, and you are living and dying.

Under the logic of the political struggle of success and defeat, all those who unfortunately stand on the wrong side in the process of chasing the Central Plains are to blame and do not deserve sympathy at all.

Once upon a time, boiling a pot of fragrant tea, putting a few plates of high-quality snacks, and a few erudite Confucians, pointing out the country, inspiring words, and laughing and talking about the wind and moon, this is the treatment that the scholar class should have enjoyed.

However, the privileged treatment that the city sergeants and doctors were once accustomed to, with the rapid fall of Bozhou City into the hands of Li Thief, everything has come to naught, and it has disappeared in an instant!

Before the conquerors officially surrendered, the gentry in the city were all guilty, and the future was still uncertain!

"Coming, coming......" kneeling in the crowd in the front row, suddenly there was an exclamation that deliberately lowered his voice.

For a while, everyone's spirits suddenly lifted and they secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the process of waiting for the verdict of fate is too painful.

Today's unbearable experience will definitely leave a deep memory for many people that will never be forgotten!

The guard of honor of the prison country is extremely prominent, and the knight of the guards who opened the way is holding a large flag with gold characters on a white background in his hand, and a line of big characters is written on it: Edict of the Prison of the Country.

It has been nearly three years since he ascended the throne, and the officials and gentry of Manbozhou City have never heard of any additional edicts left by the first emperor.

However, the kneeling officials and gentry also knew very well that this was just a name for raising troops.

As long as the Li thief defeats the forbidden army of the imperial court and enters Kaifeng City, not to mention the so-called edict that is nothing, even if it is a hundred times more absurd, he must pinch his nose and admit it.

The strong man is the emperor, that is definitely not a joke, but the real truth!

When the jade chariot of the prison state Chai Xi approached, a certain clever ghost in the official gentry pile immediately kowtowed heavily, pulled up a hoarse voice, and shouted loudly: "Unworthy criminal minister Zhang Wenlong, knock on the prison country, and pray for the blessings of the prison country." "The posture is already low into the dust.

Zhang Wenlong, who was captured before being captured, was the current Sima of Bozhou, and his position in the entire Bozhou civil official system was ranked second.

The Zhang family in Bozhou, which is the leading local family, is the home of generations of hairpins. On the genealogy of the Zhang family, from the prime minister, to the various Shangshu and Shilang, down to the history of the assassin and the county order, the number is not clear.

It is conceivable how strong the power of the Zhang family is?

Since the dynasty was first established, the magistrates had to avoid the rule of origin, and the enforcement was not particularly thorough.

Therefore, Zhang Wenlong, as the head of a local noble family, can actually hold the important position of Sima in Benzhou, if it is said that there is no support from the powerful faction in the DPRK and China, it is really a ghost.

Zhang Wenlong shouted very loudly, not only Chai Xirang on the jade chariot in front heard it, but also Du Qinniang on the phoenix chariot behind him heard it very clearly.

Chai Xirang has been repeatedly taught by Du Qinniang many times, in front of the public, he must not steal the limelight of his father-in-law, in addition to "flat" or "just", try to close his mouth and speak less, so as not to say too much and lose.

Because it was an extremely formal public surrender ceremony, it was impossible for Du Qinniang to sit side by side with Chai Xirang on the same jade chariot, so at this time, she could only watch Chai Xirang's on-the-spot performance.

Chai Xirang, who is nominally in charge of the country, firmly remembered Du Qinniang's teachings, and before Li Zhongyi did not express his position, he would never dare to speak indiscriminately, which was tantamount to demolishing Li Zhongyi's platform.

In full view of everyone, Li Zhongyi not only stepped forward with a horse, but deliberately strangled the reins of "blood killing", and fell behind the phoenix chariot that Du Qinniang was riding, not wanting to show up too early.

Chai Xirang kept silent and never asked Zhang Wenlong to calm down, which scared a group of subordinates into a cold sweat.

Zhang Wenlong was even more frightened, his legs, which had lost consciousness because he had been kneeling for a long time, trembled slightly.

You must know that the entire Zhang family is in Bozhou, if Li Zhongyi has a bad opinion of the Zhang family, in the blink of an eye, it will be a disaster of extermination.

Li Zhongyi didn't appear, Chai Xirang didn't dare to speak, Du Qinniang was not the Empress Dowager Fu who hung the curtain, and it was even more impossible for her to risk the world's great influence and make decisions for her son.

In this way, the ministers thought that a catastrophe was coming, and they were all frightened enough, and they kowtowed heavily, sighing and begging for mercy.

Li Zhongyi waited for a while, but never saw Chai Xirang speak, he thought about it a little, and then understood that Du Qinniang must have taught it in private.

In fact, as a hyper-realistic politician, Li Zhongyi doesn't care at all about Chai Xirang's posture of being a prisoner in front of others, which will be very conducive to promoting Li Zhongyi's good reputation of always being loyal to the Zhou family.

Du Qinniang thought too much, obviously too much, Li Zhongyi sighed secretly, but then relieved.

Unlike Empress Dowager Fu, Du Qinniang was born in a small family in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and has been staying in the deep palace compound, she used to think about how to hook Chai Rong's heart all day long, so as not to fall out of favor and be bullied by the palace people unscrupulously.

Now, Du Qinniang is thinking about how to please Li Zhongyi all day long, so as not to make Chai Xilet end well in the future.

However, after Du Qinniang and Li Zhongyi had a personal relationship, in addition to the needs of Ganlin after a long drought, there were a few more complex emotions that were cut and unorganized.

How else can it be said that only after a woman is penetrated will she really include a man in her heart?

As a victorious conqueror, Li Zhongyi can accept the surrender of the entire city of Bozhou, or only some of the gentry, or even slaughter them all, which is not a big deal.

In this way, Chai Xirang did not dare to talk nonsense, but it was likely to have an unexpected and wonderful effect, after Li Zhongyi thought about it, he simply dismounted, sat on the pony, and drank tea while dealing with the urgent military affairs at hand.

"The criminal is innocent of death, but the criminal knows a big secret......"

"Taifu, Taifu, the criminal is wronged......"

"Prison country, criminal minister......"

Husband and wife are originally birds of the same forest, and when the disaster comes, they fly separately, and in this saying, there is indeed an unbreakable human nature of seeking advantage and avoiding harm.

Couples who have shared the same bed for many years and have children will turn against each other when the catastrophe comes. What's more, instead of being related by blood, there are already contradictions between the Bozhou ministers because of differences of interest?

For a time, there were all kinds of unheard of scandals in the heap of subordinates in Bozhou. The seemingly unified front collapsed in an instant, and divided and disintegrated into N camps hostile to each other.

PS: I came back late yesterday and drank too much, so I could only make up for it after I woke up in the early morning. Today is expected to have two to three more, thank you for the support of a monthly pass!
