Chapter 171 Tea Party

After Han Yu returned to the mansion, he quickly sent people to contact other allies.What surprised him was that, in addition to Cao Yubian being sentenced to death, Fu Cheng Wei Guangxu was impeached by Mangui for his ineffectiveness in the defense of the capital, and he has been sent to prison to be questioned.

The servant Cheng Qinan participated in the attack on the important court officials before the imperial court. Although he was not dispatched to the army like the leading censors, he was also dismissed from his post at home.

Before he knew it, Han Yu discovered that his side's power had been greatly damaged.He calmed down and thought about it, it seemed that the emperor suddenly changed his temper, making it difficult to grasp, and made a few wrong moves in succession that led to the current situation.

After all, he was the chief assistant, and when he understood the overall situation, he quickly had a countermeasure.

Han Yu knew that he was a little impatient, and looked at people with old eyes, but he didn't expect that the emperor was stimulated by Jianlu's invasion of Gyeonggi this time, and was extremely eager for money, so Wen Tiren's response was in his favor, and now he is very favored , absolutely can't hit the wall again at this time.It is impossible to regain the position of chief assistant in the short term.

However, there are bad and good. After this battle, the emperor seems to have paid more attention to warriors.Not only reused Man Gui, but also spared Zu Dashou who fled the battle.It seems that the emperor knows that the world is a bit chaotic and must rely on warriors.

Luckily, I had saved my hand before, and the emperor ordered the king's army to gather in the capital, just in time for Ma Shilong to bring all the elites here, so that the emperor could see it, and thus get the emperor's reuse.This is the only way to break through the current predicament.

Thinking of this, Han Yu immediately repaired a letter and asked his confidant family to send someone out of the city as soon as possible.He thought about it, wrote another letter, and then sent his confidant to Shanxi.

Of course, such a big movement in the capital does not only affect Han Yu alone.For example, restaurants, brothels and other places used for entertainment in the capital city have all been converted into teahouses.Drinking tea, or a glass of water is always fine.Even so, there are quite a few people for no other reason. People in the capital can't do without gossip.

A well-known restaurant in the capital, the top and bottom floors of the Zhuangyuan Building, are almost full of customers, but the clothes of the guests upstairs are obviously higher than those downstairs.Several clerks were holding teapots and shuttled back and forth between the tables serving tea and water.

On the second floor, a young man in brocade clothes thumped his teacup on the table in dissatisfaction, and complained at the same time: "My mouth is fading out like a bird, buddy, bring me a jug of wine!"

Hearing this, a clerk who just happened to walk beside him hurriedly bowed his head and smiled apologetically, "My guest officer, I'm really sorry, the imperial court has ordered that we cannot provide food and drink during this special period."

"Are you afraid that I won't give you the money?" Mr. Jinyi took out a small piece of broken silver from his pocket, and slapped it on the table with a "slap", "I have money, so I don't steal or grab it. My money Can't spend it yet?"

The waiter gave a wry smile, and when he was about to explain again, one of Mr. Jinyi's companions said, "Forget it, if you bring out the food and wine, the food in the restaurant will be confiscated."

"Damn it, what's the matter? I have money and can't spend it?" Young Master Jin Yi shouted angrily.

As soon as his words fell, an inconspicuous short man at the next table picked up the topic and said: "You can't say that, it's clearly stated on the notice, the court is here to save people, and it has to be temporarily controlled. After a while, it will be fine.”

Hearing this, another young man with the appearance of a scholar shook his head and interjected: "I don't know what happened to the court, but the notice is written like a vernacular, and there is even a sentence in it. Could it be that there is no one in the court? "

"I think this announcement is good, at least I don't seem to be struggling." Someone had a different opinion, obviously a little bit uncomfortable with the arrogance of the scholar just now, and said, "Now in the announcement area, those young talents Everything seems to be missing a lot.”

For ordinary people, what troubles them the most is clauses, which can only be mastered by serious readers.If it's not a notice, there may be some articles, and even serious scholars often make mistakes and sentence sentences, so that the meaning is completely different.How to divide sentences is a university question, which can distinguish the ability of scholars, and it also makes it difficult for many literate ordinary people to understand.

However, the notices these days are not only written in plain language, so that people can understand what's going on when they hear it, they even add a sentence to read, so that many people who can only read a few words can understand the notices by themselves.

The scholar didn't answer the conversation, and drank his tea with a bit of disdain.Seeing this, the man was proud of himself, but he didn't dare to offend the dead scholar. He changed the subject and said, "Have you heard that Jianlu is really ruthless, and even burned all those cities, and only the old man was left behind?" It’s just weak. If it weren’t for this, the capital wouldn’t be able to carry out food control, and it would really be embarrassing for the court!”

Upon hearing this, someone from the other table slapped the table and said in a hateful voice: "These god-killing Jianlu, my mother-in-law's family is in Yongping, so I also suffered."

Upon hearing this, someone said curiously: "By the way, tell me, Yongping is where the prefecture is located. Whether it is military strength or city defense, it should be stronger than that of Changli County, right? Why did Changli County hold on for so many days? When the reinforcements arrived, Yongping City fell into the hands of Jianlu without making a sound?"

"Haven't you heard? Yongping fell because someone secretly opened the city gate in the middle of the night, just like Zunhua. Otherwise, with Jianlu's siege skills, how could it be possible to capture such a big city?" said just now The short man who had spoken immediately expressed his opinion.

The other person nodded and added: "Yes, Jianlu was able to take down those cities in Liaodong, and most of them relied on internal cooperation, internal cooperation and external cooperation to take them down. Or, look at Changli, look at the Jianlu attack a few days ago Jingshi, just like that ball!"

"Why are they so stupid? Strictly check the martial law, and still don't believe that those Jian captives will have the opportunity to engage in internal cooperation!"

Hearing this, the short man shook his head and smiled, "Do you think those Jurchen tartars with money rat tails on their heads came to join forces? Let me tell you, there are Han people cooperating with captives, otherwise you really think those officers and soldiers are blind , still can’t tell the Tartars from the Han people?”

Upon hearing this, several people who are usually well-informed immediately affirmed: "That's right, have you heard of Li Yongfang? This guy is one. Also, then..."

Even if this restaurant has no relatives in the cities that were burned, there are some relatives in the Gyeonggi area, and they were all affected by the war, and all of them immediately cursed those traitors.

When the short man broke the news that this time the Jianlu detoured to invade the capital, and nine out of ten there were Han people who knew the situation in the pass and cooperated with the enemy, more people scolded them.

In this case, many people have already guessed this.In the original history, Yuan Chonghuan became this scapegoat, so that the people in the capital wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood.

However, because of the butterfly effect, the Guan Ning army made great efforts in the Battle of Changli, which also cleared up many suspicions of the Liao soldiers.
