Chapter 191: Out of the Palace

Soon, the news spread in the county, and they were furious, and it was almost impossible for a hundred people to commit suicide at the same time.

This news became known to more and more people, and even spread to the village, and everyone was angry, and there was a lot more dissatisfaction with the imperial court.

In just one day, hundreds of people had gathered, they were planning to revolt, and they were planning to deal with this too corrupt Great Song Dynasty.

However, Song Ci, who was thousands of miles away, didn't know that in the past few days, he had led his subordinates to look for mountains and willows in the mountains and forests, and with the relaxation of his spirit, he gradually recovered in the past two days.

At the same time, Jia Rudao, who was far away, was also playing crazy these days, so unhappy, the soldiers in Jiangzhou were cut down, and there were more than 10,000 people at the moment, and the loss of half of them meant that part of the expenses had been reduced, so he could gamble more.

Lost hundreds of silver almost overnight, Jia seemed to be unconvinced, these days the loss is getting bigger and bigger, and even the old bottom is lost, so in a rage, he came to the other party's house at nightfall, took the silver, and killed more than a dozen people.

This case caused a huge sensation in Jiangzhou, and everyone in the officialdom knew who was so-called, but no one dared to care about this reality, so it had to be stopped.

In just ten days, Jia Rudao became famous in Jiangzhou officialdom, and many prefects came to send gifts to show their loyalty, which made him very happy.

In the past ten days, the entire Lanzhu County has been completely chaotic, and thousands of people have begun to act as anti-thieves, who appear on the streets every day to block the road and rob, rob, and even kill people and set fires, all of which are organized by poor people.

Many wealthy businessmen were targeted, not only robbed of goods, but even lost their lives, and when there were items that could not be taken, they directly set fire to them.

In just a few days, Lanzhu County has changed greatly, the originally prosperous county town has almost become a purgatory on earth, hundreds of houses have been burned, hundreds of dead and injured are also hundreds, the entire county has almost become hell, many people have fled, they don't know what's wrong.

Only this Jiao Zhixian knew something, he had already expected such a scene, but he didn't expect these people to take the initiative to release the news.

Every day, the yamen of the county town will be attacked by anti-thieves, and they don't even dare to go out, which is very chaotic, and at the same time, in the military camp of Lanzhu County, such a scene has aroused the ideas of Lu Sheng and Ren You, and the two sent soldiers to suppress it, and finally there was some improvement, but they were still in a state of confrontation.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the day of the Queen Mother's seventieth birthday has arrived, and Song Ci has recovered well these days, and he came to the city gate on this day, looking forward to Hu Shanhai being able to bring himself in.

Everyone sat outside, waiting for the time to come, and after a while, Hu Zhuangyuan really walked with the team, greeted Song Ci, promised to go to the palace to find Emperor Lizong to give an order, and then left.

On this day, the palace was crowded with people, the queen mother's 70th birthday, invited many people to come, and the people in the entire Lin'an city have arrived.

In the back garden of the palace, there are hundreds of tables, one can seat ten people, that is, there are thousands, the atmosphere is very strong, obviously I don't know that Lanzhu County has become a mess at this moment.

These officials came to congratulate them, just like they did ten years ago, but with a lot of changes.

In the inner room, there are dozens of officials, Emperor Lizong and Jia Guifei are here, and there are some other concubines and princesses of Elder Brother, which is very lively.

An official said: "Weichen congratulates the Queen Mother on her blessings as the East China Sea Shoubi Nanshan."

There are also humanitarians: "Weichen hopes that the Queen Mother can eat whatever she wants, smile often, and live to be 100 years old."

There are also many people who have offered a few treasures, most of which are carefully selected, in order to get a good impression in front of the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother has been locked in the audience, and she has been looking for the backs of two people, such as Lu You and Song Ci, she has always admired these two, and I don't know why she didn't come today.

"Your Majesty, the mourning family wants to ask, Lu You told the old man to return to his hometown, can you send someone to inform him to come? The mourning family is anxious to meet him and Song Ci. ”

Song Lizong said: "The queen mother doesn't know that Lu You has passed away due to illness on August 10 last year, and it has been a whole year."

The Queen Mother's face froze, and she heard a topic that made her sad, and it was very unpleasant at the moment.

"Lord Lu Youlu, this is a great hero of my Great Song Dynasty, Your Majesty, if he hadn't led his troops to cooperate with Mongolia to fight against the Jin people, where would my Great Song Dynasty be today? Where is Lord Lu buried.... The mourning family must take the time to see him. ”

Jia Guifei said: "Back to the Queen Mother, today is the day of your seventieth birthday, I think, I think it's better not to talk about these topics, it's unlucky, what do you say, Queen Mother?"

The officials below also gave their gifts unconsciously to Taotao, but it was a pity that the Queen Mother had no intention of appreciating it, Lu You's death made her very sad, and she couldn't be happy on the big day.

"Lord Lu You has dedicated his life to the Great Song Dynasty and to the imperial court, child, my imperial court can't treat his family badly, you must take care of them, after all, Lord Lu has been an official for so many years, he can always offend people, and when he leaves, the mourning family really can't let go."

"Well, don't worry, the child will not forget."

Below, Hu Shanhai came to kneel and said: "Queen Mother, Weichen Hu Shanhai has something to ask the Queen Mother, please ask the Queen Mother for permission."

"Hu Shanhai? You're the handpick? Well, yes, yes, if you have anything that needs the permission of the mourning family, just say it, the mourning family will definitely not refuse. ”

On the side, many unkind eyes looked over, Hu Shanhai ignored it, and continued: "It's too good to go back, when Weichen entered the Xuande Hall half a month ago, he once saw Song Ci and Song ........."

"Song Ci, what's wrong with him?" The Queen Mother was shocked, Lu You died and it was just that, Song Ci must not be fine.

Hu Shanhai said: "Back to the Empress Dowager, Weichen saw that Song Ci was blocked outside the city gate, and wondered why Emperor Lizong did not let him enter Lin'an City, could it be that Lord Song made some big mistake?"

When the Queen Mother heard this, she looked over, "Your Majesty, can you come up with an explanation for this matter?" Song Ci is the criminal officer of our court, you have to stop him for no reason, there must be a reason, right?"

Song Lizong said: "After returning to his mother, this Song Ci is actually infected with a serious illness, you said that he is going to come to celebrate your birthday, what if the disease is transmitted to you?" The queen mother, that's why the child has this practice.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she sighed, "Child, you are really confused, Song Ci has been in Lanzhu County for ten years, it has been very difficult, he has already arrived in Lin'an City in advance, I think it is not as simple as wishing the mourning family a birthday, there may be something important to report to me, how do you..

"Hey, I don't know what happened to you in the last ten years? Why... You, you, you.."

Prime Minister Liu said at this moment: "Back to the Queen Mother, in fact, you don't have to blame the emperor for this matter, this Song Ci is sick, if the disease is really transmitted to you, how can you be good?" The Queen Mother is the backing of the country, you can't have anything, and Emperor Lizong can't have anything to do.

Hundreds of civil and military officials have echoed and have completely stood on Prime Minister Liu's side.

Zheng Dadao: "Prime Minister Liu's words are wrong, assuming that Song Ci has an infectious disease, then why are the people next to him okay?" Besides, Song Ci is also a sensible person, and it is impossible for him to come to Lin'an when he learns that he is seriously ill. ”

"Yes, Queen Mother, Weichen thinks that Lord Zheng's words are very reasonable, Song Ci traveled thousands of miles to Lin'an in advance, maybe something happened in Lanzhu County.

The battle has become white-hot, and it is clear that two factions have been formed, one faction led by Prime Minister Liu, who still resists Song Ci's entry into the palace.

The other faction, headed by Hu Shanhai, asked Song Ci to enter the palace to participate in the 70th birthday of the Queen Mother.

"The Emperor and the Queen Mother, ten days ago, Weichen saw Song Ci as a dying person, and today, ten days later, I saw that Song Ci has recovered a lot, Weichen thought, if Song Ci is really sick, how can this be? Therefore, Weichen hopes that the Queen Mother can issue an order for Song Ci to enter the palace. ”

Jia Guifei also spoke at this moment.

"Queen Mother, I think what Hu Zhuangyuan said is reasonable, a dying person may not get better, it is possible that he is not a disease.

The Queen Mother slapped the table, "Song Ci has made great contributions to my Great Song Dynasty, today the mourning family will go to the city gate to greet him in person, regardless of whether he is sick or not, in the eyes of the mourning family, even if he is sick, I have to meet him in person, Hu Zhuangyuan, the mourning family hopes that you can lead the way, okay?"

"It's the Queen Mother."

"The Queen Mother can't help it, she can't help it, even if Song Ci is not sick, but as the Queen Mother's honorable status, how can she greet it?"

"Yes, yes, the Queen Mother, it's a big deal that Weichen will take Song Ci for the Queen Mother."

"Yes, Queen Mother, how can Song Ci actually let you go and take over the car in person? With micro .....

"Queen Mother, why don't you let the child lead the team in person, today is your 70th birthday, how can you...

"Seventy birthdays? Even if it's 80 years old, what's the matter? The mourning family has made up their minds.

She departed from the main seat, and soon walked out of the house, followed by a large number of people, including civil and military officials and various guards.

When the Queen Mother left the palace, everyone was afraid that something dangerous would happen, and it would be difficult to solve it when the time came.

At the same time, Song Ci was still waiting anxiously at the gate of the city, as time went by, his patience became smaller and smaller, and the expectation in his heart disappeared little by little.

Many people have already moved in and out of the city, and some of them live outside the city, and it is not enough to buy necessities when they enter or leave the city.

The whole street was full of people, and the news of the Queen Mother's 70th birthday had spread, so these people were full of smiles.

Hundreds of people sat on the side of the road, and Qin Xiaoyue said: "My lord, it seems that we can't enter this Lin'an City today, Emperor Lizong seems to have an opinion on you, what kind of serious illness is simply an excuse."
