Rise From the Humble

The sun is bright, pouring out golden brilliance, crowning the world, not favoring one thing, not favoring another, everything is shining.

"You have done a good job. I will ask Duke Wei for you." Zhu Pingan, clad in the golden light of the scorching sun, nodded to the human shield soldiers with a smile, and walked into the commander's tent under their admiring gazes.

"My good nephew is truly a god. In such a crisis, a mutiny and rebellion were actually resolved by you."

"They all brutally killed Huang Shilang, and there was no turning back. Unexpectedly, you were persuaded by your sharp tongue to put down their weapons, disband and go back to their camps. My dear nephew, how did you do it?!"

"Master Xiao Zhu, I really have you! Since ancient times, heroes have emerged from youth, and the Zajia's tricks are indeed right."

As soon as Zhu Pingan walked into the handsome tent, Duke Wei, Marquis of Linhuai and Eunuch He gathered around him excitedly. One rubbed Zhu Pingan's hair, one punched Zhu Pingan on the shoulder, and the other pointed at Zhu Pingan with an orchid in his hand. chest, the faces of the three people were filled with ecstasy, excitement and curiosity, which was difficult to describe.

For a moment, Zhu Ping'an had a sense of seeing Master Yancan being teased by a group of monkeys in front of Mount Emei.

"My nephew, how did you do that?!"

"My nephew, how did you convince them?!"

"Master Xiao Zhu, tell me, what clever method did you use?! You solved more than 3,000 rebel soldiers!"

Wei Guogong and the three of them surrounded Zhu Pingan, with curious faces on their faces, and couldn't help asking Zhu Pingan again and again.

"Actually, it was nothing. I told them five things, and they put down their weapons and dispersed back to the camp."

Zhu Pingan smiled slightly and explained with a relaxed look.

"Five things?! Which five things?! Tell us quickly." Wei Guogong and the others were as curious as a cat scratching their hearts, and they were so itchy that they couldn't help themselves.

"The first thing I want to tell them is that Huang Shilang fell from his horse and died, which has nothing to do with them. I will not accuse them of killing an imperial official, let alone slander them of rebellion."

Zhu Pingan said lightly.

"What?! Minister Huang fell from his horse and died?!"

"My nephew, you are mistaken! Huang Shilang was obviously hacked to death by the rebels, how could he fall from his horse and die?!"

"How is it possible? The Zajia came with Huang Shilang. He didn't even ride a horse. How could he fall from his horse and die? The Zajia saw with his own eyes that he was chopped to pieces by random soldiers. It was so tragic."

After hearing Zhu Ping'an's understatement, Wei Guogong felt as if he was struck by thunder. He was so stunned that he couldn't help but exclaimed.

"No, I'm not mistaken. Mr. Huang fell from his horse and died." Zhu Pingan replied seriously.

"My dear nephew, you are telling lies with your eyes open."

"Master Xiao Zhu, you are talking nonsense. The Za family saw Huang Shilang being hacked to death by the insurrectionary soldiers with their own eyes."

When Wei Guogong and others saw that Zhu Ping'an insisted that Huang Shilang fell from his horse and died, they couldn't help correcting him repeatedly.

"Uncle, Eunuch He. Huang Shilang is, and he can only fall from his horse and die." Zhu Pingan looked at Wei Guogong and the others with a pair of dark eyes, and said meaningfully.

"Um?!"

Wei Guogong and the others were startled for a moment, chewing Zhu Ping'an's words thoughtfully, and suddenly their eyes widened after a moment. They are all old foxes. How could they not understand the deeper meaning after Zhu Pingan reminded them.

"Yeah, yes, hehehe, my nephew is not wrong, we are wrong. Mr. Huang did fall from his horse and died."

"The Zajia family had long warned Huang Shilang to be careful when riding a horse and not to go too fast. He didn't listen, and he fell off his horse and died."

Duke Wei, Marquis of Linhuai and Eunuch He nodded vigorously, patted their mouths with their hands, and said haha.

The prerequisite for quelling this mutiny is that Huang Shilang fell from his horse and died and had nothing to do with the rebels. Only in this way can the rebels have a way to retreat and survive, and only then can the mutiny be quelled. Anyway, Huang Shilang committed suicide and deserved it! Being killed by the rebels is still death, falling off a horse is still death, but waiting to die is nothing else.

Zhu Ping'an shone in their eyes. He was worthy of being the number one scholar. No wonder he was valued by the saints and awarded the secret honor. This kind of thinking was like an antelope hanging its horns. It was beyond the reach of others. He could think of using this method to break the situation!

"But, nephew, can they believe it?! After all, it's them." Wei Guogong raised a question.

Huang Shilang was killed by the rebels himself. We said that Huang Shilang fell from his horse and died. Although it was beneficial to them, wouldn't they suspect that this was our delaying strategy? ! Can you believe us? !

Linhuai Marquis and Eunuch He also looked at Zhu Pingan, waiting for Zhu Pingan's answer. They also thought about this question.

"They didn't believe it, but they still believed it." Zhu Pingan's words were a bit confusing.

"What do you mean?" Wei Guogong was suddenly confused.

"This is about the second thing. The second thing I told them was to give them death-free certificates." Zhu Pingan explained softly, "Uncle and Eunuch He, you wrote the death-free certificates. With the death-free certificates, If you die, they will believe it.”

Wei Guogong and the others thought about it for a moment and immediately understood. If the first thing they said is unfounded and they are worried about being liquidated in the future, then the death-free scroll is genuine. It was written by us with our own hands and stamped with a bright red seal. With this death-free scroll, they dare to believe it. , also believed Zhu Pingan's words.

"But my dear nephew, even though Mr. Huang's death has nothing to do with them, this alone cannot make them lay down their weapons and disband and return to the camp."

Wei Guogong raised another question.

"The reason why they rebelled was ultimately due to the issue of silver, food for wives, and military pay."

Zhu Pingan said softly.

"Well, yes." Linhuai Marquis and Eunuch He nodded vigorously, knowing this well.

"How to solve this problem?!" Wei Guogong and the others looked at Zhu Pingan.

"Simple. I told them that the discounted silver and wife's grain will be restored as before, and an additional one or two taels of discounted silver will be given, and the military pay will be paid tomorrow." Zhu Pingan smiled slightly and replied with an understatement.

"What?! The discounted silver and wife's food are back to the same as before?! An extra one or two taels of discounted silver will be given, and the military pay will be paid tomorrow?! My nephew, are you crazy? You can only pay back the military pay. We work hard and can still make up for it! It's not a big problem to send an extra tael of discounted silver to make up for it! But how can we make the decision to restore the discounted silver and wife's food to the same level as before? This requires the Ministry of War to issue a document! The Ministry of War has not said anything, how can you, Zihou? You made the decision without permission and made promises to them?! My nephew, my nephew, you were smart and confused for a while. Now you have deceived them. After a few days, they found something was wrong. The silver and wife's grain were not restored to the same as before. They will definitely rebel again, and even the gods will not be able to stop them when they come. My dear nephew, my dear nephew, what should I do?"

When Wei Guogong heard this, he was so frightened that he trembled all over. A layer of cold sweat broke out on his back. He patted his thigh hard and complained.

When the Marquis of Linhuai and Eunuch He heard this, they were also frightened and worried. They had already stepped into this muddy water. If Zhenwu Camp rebelled again in two days, they would not be able to eat and walk around.

"Uncle, Eunuch He, there is no need to worry at all. If the Ministry of War is quick, it may be tomorrow, or it may be three to five days later. The money will be reduced and the wife's food will be restored as before."

Zhu Pingan looked at Wei Guogong and the three of them calmly, smiled slightly, and said with determination.
