Chapter Twenty-Four: The Storm in Chang'an (1)

The next day, on the streets of Chang'an.

A group of farmers were digging a well, and after digging for a while, suddenly a man said, "I've found a treasure." ”

"What is it? It looks hard, hurry up and get it out, isn't it jade? The other said nervously.

Everyone worked together, three or two to dig out this thing, after wiping the soil clean, found that this is a bronze tripod, it exudes an ancient atmosphere around it, the trace of patina is quite heavy historical vicissitudes, people know at a glance that this is not a vulgar thing.

"What is this?"

"It's a baby, and there's a pattern on it."

Everyone looked over carefully, and saw an eagle engraved on the bronze tripod, which was being divided and eaten by the green dragon, the blue wolf, and the white tiger, so it was not miserable.

"Look, there's a line of small print underneath, which of you know? It's like ancient writing. The first to dig up led the crowd to the past.

At this time, a man dressed as a Confucian on the street came over and said, "I know, I have studied ancient Chinese for a few days, let me take a look." ”

The people gave way to him and looked at him with respect.

"Emperor Dalie is mediocre and has been offended! Now the heavens are wrathed, and they will send down punishment, destroy their national fortunes, cut off their dragon veins, and make them immortal and eternal to be pressurized by the rest of the great powers! And the people of the great martyrs are the people of the sinful country! If you don't come to your senses, you will be damned! There is no place to die! However, God has the virtue of a good life, and now as long as you betray the sinful country, expose the uprising, and do the right thing for heaven, you will gain the favor of God, and the future can be expected! ”

This person slowly read out these words, and the people around him were stunned, this is a big crime to kill the head! However, this bronze tripod is too weird, and they have a sense of fear in their bones.

Just as they wanted to bury this tripod in the ground again and hide this secret, a pair of guards came around and they took it away.

At the same time, such bronze tripods have also been dug up near the lively Chenghua Avenue and Erxian Bridge.

For a time, Chang'an was turbulent, rumors were spreading, and the people were in fear and fear, and the whole Kyoto was boiling in an instant.

——

Temple of Light.

Three newly unearthed bronze tripods were impressively presented in the center of the main hall, and all the ministers frowned and were silent.

"Humph! What a guts! How dare you spread rumors like this! If I catch him, I'll behead him! Liuchuan Xinghe was half angry and lost his temper at the ministers.

"Your Majesty, the minister suggests that all those who create and spread rumors be arrested, and those who are serious should be beheaded in public to deter others." Taibao Hu Yanzhuo said murderously.

"Your Majesty, why did this bronze tripod appear in Chang'an for no reason? This is strange, there must be traitors who are demons, they just want us to mess up, and they want us to suppress the people, so that we will be a 'sin country'! Let's not be fooled, so-called, the rumors stop at the wise. If we are angry and suppress the people with thunder, I am afraid that it will be counterproductive, and even if the people do not say it in their mouths, it is easier to believe in their hearts that the unstable factors are too great. ”

Liu Jing came out to raise objections and calmly analyzed the pros and cons.

"Lord Liu, then tell me what to do, and we will let it go? Now all kinds of words are circulating in the streets and alleys, and people are panicking, and if they don't get it right, something will happen! He Fang came out and said gloomily.

"The motif is clearly recently inscribed, and the meaning is obvious, and the three beasts represent our three powerful neighbors, and I conclude that one of them must have done it deliberately." Zhang Buxian said affirmatively.

"So what? The common people are ignorant, how can they understand this? Now they are all in fear, and if they do not respond in time, they may cause trouble. Li Dongsheng said.

There was a lot of quarrel in the court, and it was roughly divided into two opinions, one was to suppress it strongly, and see a rumor-monger kill the other!

The other is to ignore it and let them say it, but increase the patrol of the guards in the city, and strictly guard the people in the city to prevent the people from revolting.

In the end, there was no result, and Liuchuan Xinghe had a headache, and at this time, a word came from outside.

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Rukawa Kaede, his confidant Gan Lin, came to see him and said that there is a way to solve this matter."

"Let her in."

"Yes."

"You're Ganlin? Do you know what our current problem is? What can you do? If you can solve this problem, it will be a great achievement. "The emperor didn't care that she was a woman, and it was a series of questions.

"Wechen has seen Your Majesty," Gan Lin first made a courtesy, and then continued, "It's my family that has a way, he told me." ”

"Oh? Ah Feng is known to be talented, and he can also share worries for the country during his recuperation, which is really a rare talent, you can talk about it quickly. ”

"This is obviously a conspiracy of the enemy in the shadows, in order to make a great deal of chaos with me, to make the people of our imperial capital besieged by fear all the time, if we suppress it, it will trigger their resistance, and they will really act against the imperial court at that time, so this will not work."

"Look, although the people now want to do something, they are our people after all, and they are still a little jealous and worried, but if we kill them, then they will have no worries, this is the last straw on their backs, the last bottom line in their hearts......" Liu Jing added.

"Shut up, Master Gan, you go on." The emperor unceremoniously interrupted Liu Jing.

"The second is, regardless of them, although this can ensure safety for a short time, but the night is long and dreamy, if the enemy continues to use any tricks, the people's spirit is very likely to collapse, and it will be a very big trouble at that time, so this record will not work."

"So what's going to happen?"

"We also follow the enemy's methods, quietly bury some ancient and sacred things on the streets or at the foot of the mountain, and then write some words on them to praise our great martyrdom and praise our great martyrs, and mark how God loves us, etc., remember to engrave it in ancient Chinese, and then send guards to pretend to be farmers and workers, dig them out when there are many people, and show them to the public!"

"Okay, great idea." The emperor was overjoyed.

"Yes, Lord Feng really has a world in his chest and abdomen, so that I am safe and sound." Liu Jing admired.

"Ministry of Industry, this matter will be left to you, and there must be no mistakes." The Emperor commanded.

"Yes." The right attendant of the Ministry of Works said.

"How is Ah Feng's body recovering?" After making up his mind, the emperor asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, Lord Feng is in strong health, and now he is fine, but he can't get out of bed and walk." Gan Lin replied without humility or arrogance.

"Well, tell him to recuperate from his injuries and not worry too much about the government."

"Yes."

Another day passed, under the careful operation of the skilled craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry, this more authentic "artifact" was born, and the people really believed it to be true, and no longer trusted the false rumors before, and Chang'an returned to stability again after a day of turmoil.

"Bang"

A sword smashed a large stone more than a person high, and Murong Feng roared: "Liuchuan Feng, Liuchuan Feng!" It's you damn thing again! Why do you want to oppose me at every turn? Sooner or later, one day, I will let you die at my hands! Ahhh......h

Then he chopped down many trees in the woods, Hu Lai watched silently from the sidelines, did not speak, he wondered, if one day, he really had the opportunity to kill the former general, would he be able to do it? This question was a headache for him, and he never had an answer.

As for the assassination of the big people in Chang'an, there is naturally no progress, with the experience of Liuchuan Feng, those powerful guys all protect themselves like hedgehogs, and there are heavy guards when they go out, and it is difficult to start, and for those innocent poor people, Hu Lai did not do it, he can't bear it, and even if he kills a few, it is useless, some of those ordinary people are hovering between life and death all day long, and no one cares about them when they die.

The days passed in peace, Rukawa Kaede was still lying on the bed, but his complexion was very good, and Lechuan Eve did not come back to accompany him, although he was a little disappointed, and some blamed himself for not being so fierce to her last time, but he was not a sentimental and intoxicated person after all, and he still had a lot of affairs to deal with.

He also began to take care of Jinyiwei's affairs again, but for now, he could only look at the archives at home and put forward some suggestions or schemes, so he also knew a lot about the current affairs of the empire.
