Chapter 873: I'm not dead?
Chapter 873 Am I not dead?
After leaving the palace, Zhong Sheng returned to his home and started to arrange funeral affairs. All the property was generally given to his wife and children, and the other half was equally distributed to the subordinates who followed him to death.
Then, he shut himself in the room and waited quietly to die.
It is said that once a person completes his obsession, he will leave the world. Isn’t that what the emperor is like?
Opening his eyes again, Zhong Sheng found that he was actually in a place where birds and flowers were fragrant.
"This is the underworld, it's pretty nice."
"Where is Naihe Bridge? I have to ask if I can stop drinking Meng Po soup. I don't want to forget about my father."
"Pfft!" In the pavilion not far away, Tang Guo held his chin in one hand and laughed, "Do you all live like this just to make jokes for others?"
Yan Jinyu fed Tang Guo the fruit with one hand, and the other hand held her hand and refused to let go.
"It made you laugh."
Zhong Sheng was dumbfounded, raised his hand and pinched his face.
"His!"
grinned in pain.
"It hurts, why does it hurt?"
He got up, looked around, found a shadow on the ground, looked up at Yan Jinyu and Tang Guo in the pavilion, "Am I not dead?"
Yan Jinyu raised her hand to support her forehead. He really didn't expect that decades had passed and Zhong Sheng was still such a huh.
"I'm not dead, I'm really not dead, hehehe..." Zhong Sheng was still dumbfounded.
Yan Jinyu's face darkened, "Shut up, come here!"
"Oh."
Zhong Sheng obediently walked over and habitually stood three steps away from Yan Jinyu.
"Tell me about the current situation of the Yan family army."
Zhong Sheng closed his mouth tightly, looked at Yan Jinyu, and didn't say a word for a long time.
Yan Jinyu's eyes sank, "Are you dumb?"
Zhong Sheng pointed to his mouth with an aggrieved expression.
Yan Jinyu frowned, just about to reprimand, Tang Guo patted him on the shoulder, "Didn't you just tell him to shut up?"
After she finished speaking, she narrowed her eyes and looked at Zhong Sheng, "You must answer the next question I ask, and you can't lie to me, otherwise, I will make you unable to speak again in this life, in the next life, in the next life. not him."
Zhong Sheng looked at Yan Jinyu in the direction of Tang Guo's fingers, with a clever look on his body, "You ask, I will tell."
"How many troops does the Yan Family Army have now?"
"Eighty-three thousand seven hundred and twenty-two men and twelve thousand and one hundred horses."
Yan Jinyu frowned deeper, Tang Guo continued to ask, "Where are they stationed?"
"Chuzhou has 20,000 horses, Ningzhou has 10,000 horses, Huizhou has 20,000 horses, and Yanzhou has 30,000 horses."
Yan Jinyu slammed the table, "How long have you been on this defense?"
Zhong Sheng shuddered, "Twenty years."
"The troops have been scattered for 20 years? Hehe, why, are you planning to set up a small group and support yourself to stand up?" Yan Jinyu finally understood that this time when he came back, there were only a handful of old and weak soldiers like Zhong Sheng in the capital.
"I gave Chu Weiran the soldier talisman, so he didn't do anything?"
Zhong Sheng sighed, "Master, about the Yan family army, the late emperor really did his best, but he paid too much attention to the old relationship and believed too much in the soldiers you left behind. When the problem was discovered, it was too late. Several times The courtier's reorganization of the Yan family's army and the removal of the title were all reprimanded by the previous emperor, so..."
"Pedant!"
Yan Jinyu shook her head.
Li Ge, who was on the side, smiled, "Isn't it because you valued him at the beginning and let him inherit the throne because of his loyalty and greed for power? If the title of the Yan family army is removed, the military power will really return to the emperor's hands, The throne is really secure, but he cares about you, and he has been letting some people in the Yan family's army be allowed to raise their ambitions little by little."
