Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 788

After the news of the great victory in Huainan came back to Jiankang, the atmosphere in the capital became more and more enthusiastic day by day, which happened to be in stark contrast to the increasingly cold weather.

Originally, there were celebrations about Wang Shi's great victory, but they were only concentrated on the level of ordinary people.No matter how rejoicing the people are, they don't have many ways to entertain themselves. It's great to sing in the market, and after a moment of forgetfulness, they will always return to their own lives.

However, as the news gradually spread and various information about Huainan became more and more abundant, more and more people joined the carnival.Many people from the suburbs of Kinki gathered to enter the capital, or wandered in Shenyuan, or directly outside Wuyi Lane, singing praises of Shenhou and Huainan Wangshi.

So much so that Taichung could no longer remain indifferent, and sent many subordinates and guards in Taichung to receive those high-ranking and elderly people in the village.You must know that these people are the main force of the township theory. If they neglect or criticize the Taifu administration with material opinions, it will be a big trouble.

And as Taichung expressed its position, more and more people joined in this national carnival.Before the current war, the trend of gatherings of descendants of the aristocratic families has also been greatly restrained, but now many of them have returned to their old ways.During the day and night, there are many pleasure boats on the Qinhuai River. The boats are either made of silk and bamboo, or built with percussion.

Such as "Don't laugh at me when you play the clip and sing loudly, and serve the king with all your heart and soul", or "Drive three thousand miles long, catch the thief and share the roast", these poems originally did not fit the meaning of the time, because they were in the name of Marquis Shen. , only a small-scale spread.But today, if any young people in the capital don't recite a few lines on weekdays, they will be looked down upon in terms of personality.

And the wind of wearing swords and armors was also very popular for a while. Looking at the streets, it is rare to see large collared shirts. Young people who are keen to catch up with the trend all wear different styles of lacquered bamboo armors, and their palms are pressed on the The sword hanging from the waist, so that the price of bamboo will soar in the short term.Even if you can't afford an iron sword, you have to carve a hilt and scabbard from wood, wrap it in silk cloth, and each one is heroic. Even if you don't have horses to roam around, you still have to roam the city.If you see any young people riding a slow and steady bullock cart on the street, you will go up to point and laugh at them.

Because this kind of atmosphere intensified, every day the county government and the guards only arrested young people carrying bows, crossbows and other controlled ordnance in the downtown area, and there were hundreds of them at most.Those who can afford these items are naturally not from poor families. If they commit a crime, they can only pay the crime, otherwise they will be imprisoned.For a while, the income of the guards' mansion and the county mansion soared dozens of times, but people still enjoyed it.

In such a warm atmosphere, there are actually many hidden dangers.Some young people were eager to see Marquis Shen because they admired Shenhou too much, and even directly attacked Princess Danyang's mansion, so that the family members in the mansion did not dare to stay in the city anymore. In the garden, temporarily avoid these over-enthusiastic people.

In addition, there is no shortage of miscellaneous servants such as Jie slaves in the family's family.This group of people also live in fear every day, and dare not leave the house at all.Those young people who had nowhere to vent their enthusiasm focused on the Hus, and there were even several cases where the Hus were directly beaten to death on the street!
If these are just pressures on law and order, then the ministers soon saw how enthusiastic these young people were.

After October, it was already a cold winter, and the Qinhuai River was gradually covered with ice floes.But the cold wind was not enough to dampen the enthusiasm of young people in Duxia. There were still many pleasure boats gathering on the Qinhuai waterway, and young people sang and echoed.Suddenly a young man on a boat shouted: "Half a month has passed since the great victory in Huainan, Master Shen Houjie made this great achievement, which has never been done since ZTE! But to this day, there is still no order from Taiwan Province to award books Okay, is this a sign of dereliction of duty in governance and treating great achievements lightly?"

As soon as this remark came out, the tourists on the Zuojin boat immediately talked about it, and they all felt aggrieved that Taichung could not award the reward in time.

"Marquis Shen defeated the Jie slaves and contributed to the country. How can such a great achievement be underestimated! It is a great pity in my life that I cannot succeed in defeating the enemy from Marquis Shen. Now that there is such an injustice, how can I look on peacefully! I I will go straight to the audience and order the admonishment assistant to pay generously to the scholars of the country, who is willing to go with me?"

Someone looked so broadly, and there was a thunderous response immediately.So those pleasure boats docked one after another, and soon hundreds of people gathered in the south of Dazheng, and more and more young people flocked here, joining them, the team gradually expanded, and went straight to Suzaku Dazheng .

The large truss connects the north and south of the Qinhuai River, and directly faces the Xuanyang Gate of Taicheng. Ordinary people are never allowed to pass even in the daytime. As for night, even the envoys of the Taige Pavilion are not allowed to pass without an urgent warrant.

So when these young people gathered and approached the big beam, the guards guarding the big beam were already alarmed. They lined up in the south of the big beam, set up torches and headlights, and illuminated the place like daylight, and the atmosphere suddenly changed. Chill up.At the same time, the general of the old guard also sent someone to report the situation here to Taicheng.

Seeing that the old guards were at war with their swords and ready to fight, those young people who were originally full of fighting spirit and enthusiasm gradually became hesitant, and some even retreated faintly to the rear.

"Visitors quickly withdraw from the restricted area of ​​Daheng. If they violate the restricted area, they will live or die!"

The general of the old guard made people shout and said that he was in a bad mood.In fact, Jiankang City had maintained a curfew earlier, but due to the excitement of the Huainan victory, the curfew gradually became untenable.In places like the Qinhuai River, which are not easy to defend, the curfew is also useless.If the guards still strictly enforced the curfew, they would have to be busy until dawn just to arrest people every day.

"Marquis Shen led the troops to the Huai River, fought fiercely to defeat Jiehu, and countless righteous men shed their blood! We will all inherit the blessing of this blessing in the future, and now it is only for righteousness, how can we retreat!"

A lot of roars erupted from the crowd, and a group of young people gathered together to rejuvenate their courage. Although they didn't dare to go directly past the guard's defense, they all gathered near the big beam and did not retreat.

Some people even shouted directly to the guards: "Your guards are also under the armor. If you can't follow the meritorious deeds of Marquis Shen, you have failed in your duty. Do you want to force the people to speak out? People can't bear it!"

When the generals of the old guard heard the roar, they were speechless for a while, they could only order people to guard here, and sent people into the stage again for emergency.

Not long after, more guards came from the north of Dazheng, and there were even some guards who crossed the Qinhuai River by boat and surrounded the people gathered here.

After nearly an hour of this stalemate, the Xuanyang Gate of Taicheng City opened, and Yutan, the Army Guard Mansion, surrounded by elite soldiers of the old guards, climbed onto the big beam and reached the front line of the confrontation.Seeing nearly a thousand people sniping here, Yu Tan also had a headache for a while. If this kind of thing is not handled properly, it will be a big deal.Originally, the great victory in Huainan was a joyous event for both inside and outside, but it would be really embarrassing if it cast a cloud of gloom over it.

"You people, ignoring the curfew laws and gathering and wandering at night, do you know it is illegal?"

Although he had a headache, Yu Tan still asked people to come forward and shout.

At this time, the young people gathered here are many descendants of aristocratic families, so they naturally recognized Yu Tan, and immediately responded: "We are by no means thieves who ignore the laws of the country. We really want to complain to the princes of Taiwan Province if we have any grievances. Huainan Shen Hou, defeated the thieves and slaves, protected the people living in the east of the Yangtze River from war disasters, and made great efforts to save the country from peril. Great achievements were crowned at the time, and everyone admired them! However, Huainan was successful, and Taichung was delayed. Yu Gong can care about human feelings. If the meritorious ones can be treated fairly, we will be punished today, and we will be imprisoned to accept the crime in the future, and we will have no complaints!"

"Shen Weizhou bears the grace of the country and the love of the ancestors. When the country is in trouble, it is his duty to do so! Even if things are done, he only wants to live up to the favor and the popularity of the people! Reward according to merit, and reward according to the situation. The court has its own opinions and rules of etiquette. You have your own custom, this cannot be decided by local theory! When you gather here at night, your words are righteous, but in fact you are deeply against the law of the country, and your personal feelings are above the ethics! The Huainan righteous men fought and killed the enemy, is it just to cover up your willful absurdity? If it is a clean discussion, where will Shen Weizhou be placed if you act recklessly today? Could it be that the righteous act of serving the country and the king has become an evil act of coercing merit and inviting favor?"

Hearing the yelling of those young people, Yu Tan stepped forward with a straight face and shouted sharply.These young people are either righteously angry or have different views, which cannot be carefully identified at the moment, but such behaviors really bring a lot of political risks to Shen Zhezi.So he learned about this in his sleep, and rushed out of Taicheng regardless of his old age and mental fatigue, in order to control the situation as soon as possible.

Hearing Yu Tan's yelling, the confusion in the crowd calmed down a bit, and many young people who were originally hot-blooded gradually felt that something was wrong. Began to show the intention to incite public sentiment.

Yu Tan's gray beard and hair fluttered in the night wind, his eyebrows furrowed even more, he waved his hand and ordered the guards to draw their bows, and then he shouted: "From now on, within three drums, I can self-examine my gaffes, and I don't want to be self-willed. And those who harmed Shen Weizhou's reputation will retreat on their own, and today's ban will not be counted. After three drums, if they still stay here to harm the virtuous, they will be directly reported to the supervisor and severely punished for their crimes! Beat the drum!"

The low-pitched drums sounded in the guard formation, and with the sound of the drums, the expressions of the young people present also changed. Many of them left the crowd directly and walked quietly in the night.But there are still people clamoring for grievances and trying to maintain the confrontation.But after Yu Tan finished shouting, he had already retreated to the Suwei army formation, ignoring those shouts.

At the same time, Yu Tan also summoned the officials of the Guarding Army Mansion, ordered in a low voice to immediately patrol the various ministries of the lower guards at night, and strictly ordered all the guards who had made any changes in the defense, to arrest the officers immediately in front of the army!

After three drums, the young people who gathered in front of the big beam dispersed.But although the people dispersed, the riots caused spread, and it is conceivable that the entire Taicheng will be a sleepless night again.

After properly handling this emergency, Yu Tan was not in a relaxed mood. On the way back to Taicheng, he called Su Weizhong's trusted nephew, and told them in a low voice to come out quickly and report the matter to Shen Chong of the capital. place.

　Finally finished writing this chapter, so sleepy. . .By the way, I would like to ask for a guaranteed monthly pass.
