    "That's right, in the whole world, is it the land of the king, the shore of the land, and the subjects of the king! All the people in the world are the people of the Qing Dynasty, the people of the Holy One, and the people of Yunnan and Guizhou are the people of the Qing Dynasty, the people of the Holy One!"

    Zhou Peigong loudly echoed and emphasized Hu Guozhu's words, and said with a smile: "General Jinwu, since you understand this, why do you force the emperor to sacrifice the people of the Qing Dynasty for the sake of the people of Yunnan and Guizhou?  How much, General Jin Wu and Prince Xi are well aware, and within three months to pay as much as more than 20 million taels of silver and 3.5 million stone grain and grass, how could our Qing emperor and the Qing court get it?  ?¡±

    "Since the emperor and the Qing court can't afford so much money and food, and Prince Pingxi and General Jinwu force us to pay the emperor, what should the emperor do? Isn't it only possible to collect it from the people? At that time, everyone will know that the emperor is because of Pingxi.  If the prince increases taxes and taxes to the people of the world, the people of the world will naturally complain to the prince of Pingxi, and the prince will also bear the eternal infamy of not paying attention to the emperor and trying to force the monarch.

    "But what if Prince Pingxi understands the difficulties of the court, knows the sufferings of the Holy One, and offers to extend the time for paying military salaries and food? What will happen?" Zhou Peigong spoke very quickly, and said incessantly: "First, the people of the Qing Dynasty in Yunnan and Guizhou  Merchants not only will not ask the prince for the money owed, but will praise the prince of Pingxi for his loyalty to the country, Hou Chengzaiwu, and his admiration and love for the prince! Second, the soldiers of Yunnan and Guizhou who are owed military salaries will also understand the prince¡¯s ambition to serve the country and know  It is an act of serving the country and righteousness to follow the prince to fight against traitors. He is more loyal to the prince and more brave and good at fighting! Thirdly, after the people of the Qing Dynasty know about this, they will naturally understand the prince¡¯s intentions.  After a lot of hard work, I am grateful for the favor of the prince, and I am grateful to the prince, and I have received the hearts of the world!"

    Having said this loudly, Zhou Peigong smiled slightly, and asked Hu Guozhu: "General Jinwu, I have a humble opinion, do you think so?"

    Hu Guozhu was tongue-tied, and old traitor Wu was also a little caught off guard. He couldn't think of words to refute Zhou Peigong's words for a while.  Not to be outdone, Wang Shirong stood up and said loudly: "Bold madman, dare to speak rudely in front of the prince? I, Prince Pingxi, is loyal to the emperor and patriotic. Above all, he embodies the sacred will and below responds to the hearts of the people. The Qing emperor raised his troops to kill Oboi for the sake of the country.  I have done my best and done my best! I, the soldiers of Yunnan and Guizhou, were all courageous and took the lead. I finally made great achievements by throwing my head and blood. It can be said that I have recreated the same kindness to the emperor and the Qing court! You madman, how dare you slander me, Prince Pingxi.  Public opinion? He deserves death!"

    "Mr. Liangchen." Zhou Peigong turned to Wang Shirong, cupped his hands, and said with a smile, "Mr. Liangchen has misunderstood. He has the courage to be humble, and he dare not show any disrespect to Prince Pingxi! The humble position is just a bold reminder to the prince, don't let the people of the world  Misunderstand the prince, let alone let the people of Yunnan and Guizhou, where the prince is based, misunderstand the prince, and misunderstand that the prince raised troops not for state affairs, but for his own self-interest."

    "Sophistry!" Wang Shirong said angrily, "Your Majesty raised troops to eradicate traitors for the country. The whole world knows this. How can a despicable villain like you slander and confuse right and wrong with just a few words? For the past year, my Pingxi Palace and the people of Yunnan and Guizhou have worked together for you."  For the sake of the country, how much is the price paid? How many athletes have been sacrificed? You waited for the treacherous villain to come here for personal fame and fortune, and came here to encourage my prince to be ashamed of the soldiers and the people, and shake the foundation of the palace. What is your intention?"

    "It's a piece of trash, easy to deal with." Zhou Peigong secretly smiled, knowing that although Wang Shirong was aggressive, he actually had nothing to say, and he didn't have any arguments, let alone reasons to overthrow his arguments.  At that moment, Zhou Peigong smiled and said: "Mr. Liangchen misunderstood again. I dare not be ashamed of the soldiers and people of Yunnan and Guizhou for personal gain, let alone shake the foundation of Pingxi Palace. I just want to ask the prince to plan for the family and the world, and also for the sake of the prince's personal prestige.  Wouldn¡¯t it be great to extend the period of payment of military salaries and grains promised by the Qing court appropriately, to report to the emperor¡¯s kindness, and to win the hearts of the people?¡±

    After all, Zhou Peigong did not wait for Wang Shirong to continue to get angry, and immediately asked with a smile: "Mr. Liangchen, you have already understood this truth, but you are pressing hard, and you insist on encouraging the prince not to extend the time limit. Could it be that Mr.  Prince Pingxi pushed to the place of unfaithfulness and injustice that oppresses the king and the people?"

    "Who said that I can't extend the time limit after instigating the prince?" Wang Shirong blurted out and asked.

    "Very good." Zhou Peigong applauded loudly, and said with a smile: "It seems that the lowly position has indeed misunderstood Mr. Liangchen. It turns out that Mr. Liangchen did not intend to encourage the prince to refuse to extend the deadline, but to invite the prince to act wisely for his family and the world.  Judging! You deserve to die, and you will accuse Mr. Liangchen."

    After all, Zhou Peigong really bent down to salute, and slapped Wang Shirong in a very chic manner.  Wang Shirong was dumbfounded, and wanted to change his words but it was too late to say anything, so he could only stand there blankly, momentarily??!  " Fatty Lu applauded, laughed and said: "Son Zhou Chang, you say that the official has sinister intentions and tried to provoke the war again, so where is your evidence?"  "

    "You object to Prince Pingxi's agreement to extend the payment period for military salaries and grass, and that is evidence!" Zhou Peigong replied loudly, "How could the Qing court pay 24.5 million taels of silver and 3.5 million shi of grain in March?  Can it be taken out? If the court can¡¯t take it out, won¡¯t the flames of war reignite?¡±

    "My son Zhou Chang, you are the secretary of the household department or the head of the House of Internal Affairs. How do you know that the Qing court can't get it out?" Wang Shaobo took up the conversation again, and said: "Besides, the student's boss is loyal to the prince and the Qing court.  Could it be that you and other disloyal and unrighteous youngsters can know about it?"

    "Son Zhou Chang, do you know how much the people in the five southwestern provinces have suffered due to the Obai Rebellion?" Fatty Lu was even more aggressive, asking one after another: "Do you know that because of the Obai Rebellion, the people in the five southwestern provinces have suffered a lot?"  Among the common people, how many people have been unable to open the pot and have no overnight food? Do you know how many people in the five southwestern provinces sold their sons and daughters because of the raging fire? Do you know that in order to put down the traitors of Oboi  In the five southwestern provinces, how many cities were destroyed, how many villages were burned, and how many naked Qing people slept in the snow and ice?"

    "Even if you can't see these things, the ruins of the outer city of Wuchang are withered, you should see them, right? Are you blind or have a dark conscience?!"

    "Boy Zhou Chang, a despicable villain like you will never understand the good intentions of a loyal court official like the Dong family!" Wang Shaobo shouted louder, "Do you know how many fields there are in the five southwestern provinces because of the raging war?  Destroyed by the war, how many people have been displaced, and how many farmers can't even find the grain to grow in the spring? If the master doesn't try to persuade the prince to collect the military pay and food from the court, if the prince doesn't try his best to seek benefits for the five southwestern provinces, how much will there be in the coming year?  The people of the Qing Dynasty froze to death and starved to death? How many hungry people will riot? How many people will be tortured again?!"

    "Son Zhou Chang, as the saying goes, a gentleman only sees his righteousness, and a villain only sees his benefits! A despicable person like you only wants to get promoted and make a fortune, but you don't see the sage and the prince worrying about the people and doing their best! Not to mention the restraint!"  Bilong Ye Zhongtang sacrificed himself for the sake of the long-term peace and stability of the people of the Qing Dynasty, and resolutely agreed to pay 35 million taels of silver and 5 million shi of grain. Do you also think that Ye Zhong Ye Tang is only for personal gain? Then I tell you,  Wrong, Ye Zhongtang is the same as our Prince Pingxi, all for the sake of the Qing Dynasty and the common people in the world!"

    "The student's master understands this very well, so he urged our lord not to listen to the words of you villains and refuse to extend the deadline!" Wang Shaobo jumped out again, waving his arms and shouted: "And you, Zhou Chang,  As a courtier of the Qing Dynasty, he interfered indiscriminately and instigated him with tricks and instigations for his personal promotion and fortune, in an attempt to trap the present Wanzai, Prince Pingxi, and Grand Master Ye Bilong in unrighteousness, which is disloyal!"

    "As a son of man, when you see Oboi's traitors taking power and messing up the government, not only do you not speak up to advise them, but you bow down to serve the thieves, making your parents and ancestors ashamed in Jiuquan, it is unfilial!" Fatty Lu caught it loudly.

    "The people in the five southwestern provinces are suffering from upside down. As an official, you not only do not try to save them." Wang Shaobo took it again, and said loudly: "On the contrary, it is inhumane to prevent others from saving the people from the fire and water!"

    "Tuhai promoted you to Weimo, but you abandoned Tuhai and voted for Oboi." Fatty Lu took it over again, "The traitor Oboi treated you well. After defeat, you not only refused to shed a single tear for him,  Turning around and joining brother Zi Zhuan's command, accusing and insulting Oboi wantonly, it is unrighteous!"

    In the end, Fatty Lu and Wang Shaobo pointed at Zhou Peigong and shouted in unison: "How can you be an unfaithful, unfilial, benevolent and unrighteous beast in clothes, living between heaven and earth, and going to see your parents in your hometown? We  If it were you, you would have slammed your head to death in this hall long ago, and you will never have the face to see the emperor, long live the emperor, the elders of your hometown!"

    "Your father is also ashamed of his family and the world." Fatty Lu added in an extremely vicious way, "In fact, your father should have shot you against the wall back then, and shouldn't have shot you into your mother's stomach!"

    "Hahahahaha!" Amidst the loud laughter from all over the Pingxi Palace, including old traitor Wu, Wang Xu, Kong Sizhen, Xiong Cilu and other people from the Qing court were ashamed and wished to find a crack in the ground.  Zhou Peigong's face turned from red to white, from white to blue, and finally from green to yellow. When he opened his mouth to scold back, suddenly a mouthful of blood spewed out, and he sat down on the ground, clutching his chest and struggling in pain.

    "Is this the end?" Fatty Lu was obviously a little disappointed. He wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and said grandly: "I just started warming up and it's over. It's really useless."

    "That's right." Wang Shaobo echoed, "The last time a student was judged by his appearance by a foolish examiner and his grades in the township examination were erased, he blocked the entrance of the examination room and cursed for three days and three nights. How long has he been scolding? It's really not fun."  To be continued.
