Chapter 685: The cocoon opens itself
Chen Xilie's defection to the enemy and suicide were deliberately handled and concealed by the imperial court in a low-key manner, in order not to disturb people's hearts. In Chang'an City at this time, no one of the officials and the people died in the mouth of the traitor?
Because Chen Xilie committed suicide was dug deeply, many dirty things that were colluded with the rebels inside and outside were also dug up one by one.
The most frightening thing about this bottom-up trend is that it is not controlled by any person or government, and the means of dissemination is the diffusion of hand-copied books, which in fact will spread exponentially in a terrifying number as soon as there is the first hand-copied book.
Almost every day, as few as seven or eight, or as many as a dozen officials and nobles are excavated. All the actions and evidence of defection to the enemy were exposed to the public, and after being spread in the circle of officials, they would soon flow to the private market, and the people who were agitated would shout in unison to attack the mansions of the officials involved, and even burn them down clean.
The response of the Left Guards was much more fierce and fierce, no matter which one dared to make trouble, and if he was caught again, he would be severely punished. But even this could not suppress the unquenchable anger of the people. Moreover, this anger has gradually shifted to the Shenwu Army.
Li Yu, the king of Guangping, worriedly went to Cui Jian to discuss, feeling that if he allowed the gaffe to continue, would there be chaos in Chang'an City?
Unexpectedly, Cui Lian was helpless, and only after King Guangping was really pressed to ask him tightly did he have to say:
"Please forgive the old minister for bluntly saying that the chaos today is all due to the selfishness of the Son of Heaven. ”
Li Yu's complexion changed drastically.
"Why is the Son of Heaven selfish?"
In his impression, his father has always been a model of diligence and thrift, and he is simply the embodiment of all wise monarchs in his mind, how can he become favoritism in the mouth of the prime minister?
After a long time, Cui Lian spit out a name.
"Li Fuguo. ”
"Li Fuguo, how could it be ......?"
Li Yu swallowed back half of his words, and he suddenly realized that perhaps the root cause of this matter was the fighting between Li Fuguo and Gao Lishi, which resulted in the injury of the Emperor Taishang, and after all, the Emperor Taishang was the emperor of the world for more than 40 years, how could he endure the humiliation of the former house slaves?
But after thinking about it, I feel plausible, even if Li Fuguo and Gao Lishi fight, how can the Emperor Taishang manipulate this turbulent public opinion?
He was really shocked by this thought, it turned out that it had been a long time, and in the final analysis, it was a contest between the Emperor and the Son of Heaven!
Cui Jian looked at Li Yu, who was stunned, and said with a wry smile:
"If the king of Guangping sees through the reason, he will know why the old man is helpless, as the saying goes, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, some people want to stop the storm, some people hate the wind and waves are too small, you say, what power do we have to stop these boats floating on the waves?"
Li Yu's body suddenly went limp, and he lost his voice:
"How did the situation change like this......"
Cui Lian turned his head to look out of the open window, the sweltering weather was really breathless, but a pair of deep eyes revealed a hint of meaning.
"Sometimes, although the pain of poisonous sores is unbearable, maybe you can save a life, otherwise it will fester, and snakes, insects, rats and ants will take advantage of this to become intertwined, and the whole body will be invaded for a long time, and it will rot to the bones......"
This was inexplicable, Li Yu looked puzzled, and it was really difficult to understand the implication.
……
The huge waves in Chang'an City are surging, but the inside of the Shenwu Army is calm, with this powerful protection, although the outside is fierce, but there is not a single star of wind and waves here.
Huangfu Ke looked at the majestic and faint Daming Palace in the distance, and his eyes did not hide his worries.
"In such a situation, Dr. Qin is like an outsider, watching from the wall, what is the reason?"
At this time, the rebellion of King Yong in the south of the Yangtze River had just been quelled, and Fang Xuan led the army outside to strike a hard blow to the eastern capital Luoyang.
Li Cao also sighed, he didn't understand, how the situation had taken a sharp turn to this point, Cui Xianggong, who was upright in plain life, and Doctor Qin, who didn't rub sand in his eyes, were all silent, and even today he had never commented word by word, and they seemed to have become spectators.
"If there is such a trouble, the so-called 'hoeing and rape' will become a dirty means for people with ulterior motives to attack dissidents!"
In fact, the big guys know that among the so many traitors who are pulled out by hand-copied books every day, there may not be no wronged ones, but they are also speechless under the crowd, and they can only break their teeth and swallow blood in their stomachs.
After complaining, he added:
"Isn't there anyone in the court of Nuoda who dares to stand up and say a fair word?"
At this time, Qingxuzi, who had been smiling and tasting the tea, spit out the tea buds with a slight bitterness in his mouth, and said:
"Not to mention, Dr. Qin's tea without condiments really has a different taste, bitter and astringent, and under the fine aftertaste, it is full of sweetness......
The relationship between the three of them has been very fast in the past few days, and Huangfu Ke and Li Cao's attitude towards Qing Xuzi has also changed from mysterious to close.
"When has it been, and you still only care about enjoying the desire of your tongue?"
Li Cao was young and quick-tempered, so he complained. Qingxuzi has always not lagged behind others in terms of tongue, so he retorted:
"The Son of Heaven is not in a hurry, the Prime Minister is not in a hurry, Doctor Qin is not in a hurry, and Chang Shijun is in a hurry?"
"You ......"
Looking at Qing Xuzi's indifferent face and hippie smile, Li Cao was angry, and with the deepening of his understanding, the "real person" of Zhongnan Mountain, who had always been respected, also revealed his true face.
It's just that Qingxuzi didn't wait for Li Cao to answer, but lowered his voice and said:
"Just one question, what do you say when you let the Son of Heaven and the Prime Minister stand up? Do you point to those loyal ministers and tell them not to find out the traitors who defected to the enemy, and that the court should settle affairs?"
"This, can this be the same!"
Li Cao admitted that what the imperial court really needs now is to calm things down and get everything back on track, but he feels that Qing Xuzi's words also have some truth, whoever stands up and speaks at this time is equivalent to setting himself up as a target, I'm afraid even the Son of Heaven will be unbearable.
Qingxuzi's smile turned cold.
"Why is it different? Public opinion has always been a brainless thing, a tendon, either right or wrong, black and white, the trend of the times and the mud and sand, if anyone dares to use their bodies, no matter how crushed you are crushed!"
Li Cao snorted and stopped talking, while Huangfu Ke pondered for a while before sighing:
"This has to have a head, right? If this goes on like this, the court will not be completely chaotic?"
Qingxuzi said again:
"It's messy, it's messy, and it's naturally quiet!"
For some reason, Li Cao suddenly sighed, as if he had understood.
"We were so thin that day, the emperor was thin, maybe we had today's situation by mistake, I knew it was ......."
Huangfu Ke reprimanded:
"Nonsense, the Emperor Taishang has bad intentions, let's take precautions for Doctor Qin, what's wrong?"
Huangfu hated Li Longji for killing his whole family, and at this time, he had no scruples about mentioning the emperor, which was right for Qingxuzi's temper, and he smiled:
"General Huangfu is right, we are not wrong, the fault is that Doctor Qin should not have nothing to do......"
Huangfu Ke and Li Cao were stunned, why did they withdraw to Doctor Qin again?
"Think about it, Doctor Qin disappeared innocently for most of the day that day, did it really have no effect? Although the soldiers and horses inside and outside the city were silent, the defense of the Imperial City Forbidden Palace was changed from the inside to the outside, and the clear-eyed person who couldn't see it was the one who responded to the mutiny!"
At this time, most people ignored the half-day scene of Qin Jin's disappearance, as well as the tense atmosphere in the forbidden palace of Chang'an Imperial City after Qin Jin's disappearance.
"Could it be that there is something else hidden in the half-day effort of Dr. Qin's disappearance?"
Qing Xuzi only nodded and shook his head and said:
"Is there a hidden poor way, where is it clear, but the chain reaction brought about by it, the impact on people's hearts, do you still use the poor road to all?"
As soon as Qing Xuzi's words were finished, the three of them were silent, Huangfu Ke and Li Cao were really unimaginable, if the current situation was due to Qin Jin's guidance, then all the vague and messy events might be strung together into a line, but there was still a question that made them puzzled.
What is the motive? What is the motive for doing this? The two of them really couldn't figure it out.
Qingxuzi coughed dryly.
"Don't think nonsense, this is all the speculation of the poor road, and it may not be done accurately, such as its purpose, and the poor road is also hard to understand. If one of the two can't stand the curiosity, you can go to Doctor Qin and ask in person......"
Suddenly, Li Cao looked at Qingxuzi who seemed to be smiling and had the urge to smash it with a punch, obviously it was this curiosity that caused the itching and unbearable, but he wanted to let them touch the moldy head, it was really cunning and tight.
Huangfu Ke seemed to have come to his senses.
"If this matter is really guided by Doctor Qin, then with the doctor's temperament of planning and then acting, he must have thought of a solution early on, let's guess nonsense here!"
Qingxuzi high-fived and smiled:
"In the words of the old general Huangfu, it seems to be a doctor's mind, how can we ordinary people like us speculate on everything, it is better to hold our breath and wait for the show to appear!"
Speaking of watching a good show, Li Cao's heart moved, and said:
"Seeing that it is the day of the wedding of Doctor Qin and Princess Shou'an, there is so much chaos in the city, maybe it will be postponed......"
A family in the Shenwu army has always opposed this marriage, especially Huangfu Ke, and Li Cao's words made him frown, but he quickly shook his head.
"No, there will be no changes to the wedding date!"
