The Beginning of Troubled Times Volume 27 The Current Situation in the World

In the 11th year of Tianfu, August 24, Youbei, Yanjing.

The guards at the head of the city saw the mighty procession from a distance, the long dragon that stretched endlessly, to the end of the horizon, and the huge, incomparably striking ...... The yellow dragon wraps around the sun flag.

That is, the symbol of the emperor, the banner of the emperor!

The guard's eyes widened for a few moments before he stumbled to the tower, shouting as he ran, "Emperor...... Your Majesty the Emperor! His Majesty the Emperor is here! ”

An hour later, the gorgeous dragon stopped at the west gate of Yanjing, Yanjing Prefecture Mu Lu Junsheng stood at the gate of the city with a Ganzhou County official, he looked up at Wen Li and a few henchmen beside him, squinting his eyes slightly, "I don't know what Lord Wen means by this?" ”

Wen Li bowed slightly on the horse, and did not dismount, so he let Lu Junsheng look up at him like this, with some unhappiness in his tone, "Lord Lu, what's the problem, can't you go into the city and ask again?" Your Majesty is here, and you are doing this, which is detrimental to the royal prestige. ”

"There are some things that can only be done here, and when you enter the city, it will be late." Lu Junsheng's tone was firm and did not retreat, "Weichen got the news that His Majesty has ......"

"Humph!" Wen Li no longer concealed his unhappiness, he almost roared angrily, "The imperial capital is surrounded, but Lord Lu ignores King Qin's iron coupon and does not move, now His Majesty is here, but Lord Lu is still suspicious?" These few crimes alone are enough to keep Lord Lu's precious head off your neck. ”

"It's useless to talk too much, I will only let him go if I have seen His Majesty with my own eyes." Lu Junsheng still didn't back down.

Wen Li snorted coldly, turned his head and didn't look at this side, Lu Junsheng walked in front of Long Luo with his fists in his hands, opened the curtain of the small window, and then his face suddenly changed, he took two steps back and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, you deserve to die, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive you!" ”

"Okay," said the man in the dragon roll coldly, "If you have anything to say, let's go into the city, Lu Aiqing." ”

"Yes!" Cold sweat soaked Lu Junsheng's underwear in an instant, he knelt on the ground, and waited for Wen Li to enter the city with the dragon roll, "Congratulations to Your Majesty!" It wasn't until Long Ran disappeared at the end of the road that he slowly stood up, looked in the direction Long Ran left and didn't say a word. The eyes of the man inside the dragon roll, the coercion given to him, even his legs couldn't help but tremble.

"That's it...... Is the power of the Son of Heaven? Lu Junsheng muttered.

"Is the power of the Son of Heaven?" A burly man came up and stood beside Lu Junsheng, he was the deputy commander of the three armies in Youbei - Changsun Sheng, he patted Lu Junsheng on the shoulder, "The person who can make people like you can't help but kneel, that's probably the real Son of Heaven." ”

......

"Your Majesty, go out to Yuwenyun, the commander of the three armies in Youbei, and all the officials of Yanjing are here." Lu Junsheng knelt on top of the court with his head down, while the emperor sat on a high place, his eyes still as cold as before.

"Okay, I'm tired," the emperor stood up suddenly, and didn't look at the expressions of the kneeling officials below, he was supported by two palace maids and walked into the inner hall, "Uncle Guo, you will be fully responsible for the rest of the matter." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wen Li bowed to the emperor's figure, then he turned his head to scan the officials prostrate in front of him, and smiled coldly, "Everyone, please get up." ”

"Presumably you already know the news of the fall of the imperial capital."

"We have also received news that His Majesty has ...... Collapsed in the City of the Apocalypse......" A tall and thin official looked at Wen Li and said this heart-pounding sentence.

Wen Li's face was cloudy, he suddenly slapped the table fiercely, and the whole hall echoed with that terrifying sound, Wen Li raised his head to look at the official, and said coldly, "Come on, drag this fool who can't spit out ivory out of his dog mouth and cut it off." ”

The tall and thin official collapsed to the ground all of a sudden, and even forgot to struggle and shout, so he was taken out by the guards next to him, Wen Li glanced at everyone again, and his voice was a little colder, "Your Majesty is still here and talking nonsense, I hope you will take care of your mouth in the future, if there is another situation of criticizing Your Majesty, I will not be soft." ”

"Your Majesty has decided to move the capital to Yanjing, and later I will invite Lord Lu to go and supervise the construction of the palace for Your Majesty's daily life."

"Lord Wen!" Lu Junsheng stood up suddenly, "Yanjing has the palace built by Emperor Wen when he traveled eastward, which should be enough for His Majesty to live." ”

"That's the Imperial Palace, and now it's going to be the next capital, just such a big palace, doesn't Lord Lu feel that it will damage the royal majesty?" Wen Li waved his sleeves, and said, "I also know the difficulties of Lord Lu, Tuoba Yan, a traitor, does not know when he will attack him, and the military budget at this time will inevitably be tight, so I am not embarrassed Lord Lu, Lord Lu only needs to supervise the construction of a big hall like the Taiqing Palace of the Apocalypse, as for the sleeping palace, I can only wronged Your Majesty first." ”

Lu Junsheng held back his anger and bowed to Wen Li, clenched his fists fiercely, and said, "Thank you, Lord Wen." ”

"Lord Lu, remember, this matter is entrusted to you with full responsibility, and if you are on a business trip, Your Majesty is the only one who asks."

"Yes, Wechen understands, Wechen will do it." Lu Junsheng bowed again, turned around and withdrew from the court.

Wen Li frowned, but didn't say anything, lowered his head and began to speak official words to the officials standing in front of him, probably condolences, requirements for the future, and some special rules.

Lu Junsheng pulled his face, the expression on his face was gloomy and scary, and a man suddenly jumped down from the eaves silently and walked side by side with Lu Junsheng, "My lord, what do you think?" ”

"What?" Lu Junsheng raised his head and looked at this man, he was a staff member in his own house, Jin Xiaozhi, Lu Junsheng only heard that this man had a skill, but he had never seen him perform, he was usually used to being casual, so he liked to fly the eaves and walk the walls in various places in the city, listen to the gossip news everywhere, and then say it to the maids in the house, making them giggle.

In short, no matter how you look at it, Lu Junsheng feels that he is just a disciple with a little ability, so he has never liked this person very much.

"Wen Li took the emperor to Yanjing." Jin Xiaozhi put his hands behind his head and held his head, and said casually.

"What else can you see? When the Apocalypse City was broken, Wen Li led the Tiger Ben of the Imperial City, and the forbidden army escorted His Majesty out of the city, and then came to Yanjing, which is relatively safe in Zhongzhou and relatively close to the Apocalypse. ”

Jin Xiaozhi was stunned and said, "Maybe?" But I always felt that there must be a lot of writing behind it. ”

"What else can I say?" Lu Junsheng said angrily, "Could it be that the emperor is still a fake?" ”

"I can't say for sure." After Jin Xiaozhi finished speaking, he jumped on the eaves again and disappeared.

Lu Junsheng looked at the direction of Jin Xiaozhi and frowned, looking thoughtful, suddenly, his face changed, as if he remembered something, his walking steps unconsciously accelerated, he returned to the state pastor's mansion, walked into the study and closed the door, picked up the pen and wrote a letter, the letter was only a few words, but he wrote for a long time. Finally, after the time of a stick of incense, he pushed the door and walked out, and then called the housekeeper and whispered a few words to him, the housekeeper nodded, trotted away, and Lu Junsheng left the state pastor's mansion, ready to do some work for the construction of the new Taiqing Palace.

......

Imperial capital, Apocalypse City.

The fire of Tianming Palace burned for a day and a night, the smoke covered the entire imperial city, and when it finally collapsed, it was like a dragon falling into the sky, and most of the treasures collected by the emperor were also burned and smashed, Tuoba Yan stood in front of the ruins of Tianming Palace and was silent for a long time, until the soldiers dug out a burned inhuman-shaped corpse from the ruins, and the intact dragon robe on the corpse formed a sharp contrast with it, the dragon robe was only stained with some dust, and some places were blackened.

"Take him to his ancestral grave and bury him." Tuoba Yan glanced at the ugly corpse, unwilling to look at it any more, and turned to leave.

"General," the soldier behind him suddenly called him, "where is his ancestral grave?" ”

"What do you say about the emperor's ancestral tomb?" Tuoba Yan glanced at the soldier, "In addition, take off the dragon robe on his body for me, I will be useful in the future, remember to get him some funeral goods when you bury him, otherwise how shabby is an emperor?" ”

"Where can I find the funeral goods for the emperor?" The soldier wept and mourned.

"Look in the ruins behind you, there's a lot of them," Tuoba Yan laughed, "just find some rags, and bring me the good ones!" Lao Tzu still has to pay you military salaries with those things. ”

......

In the 11th year of Thien Phuoc, September, Si Chau, Hanoi County.

"Xianggong, tomorrow is the day to pay taxes, what should I do." In front of the dim candlelight, the thin-skinned woman had a sad face, she stared at the candle flame for a while, and then turned her head to look at her husband, and so on and so on, her hands were clenched tightly, nervous like a child who had done something wrong.

The dark-skinned man sat in the corner, the woman couldn't see his face clearly, the man spoke, and comforted softly, "It's okay, I'm ready, you just have a good rest." ”

The man sat in his place until the woman was asleep, then he got up, gently pushed the door open and went out, not forgetting to close the door before leaving.

There were already a few dark-skinned crop men waiting outside the door, and when he saw the man come out, the burliest of the few handed him a hoe, "It's here." ”

"Well, here we are." The man took the hoe and said coldly.

"Let's go." The leading man turned and walked out of the small courtyard wall, outside which there were thousands of crop men like them waiting for them with all kinds of "weapons" in their hands.

"Let's go." Again, the man in the lead, he was facing everyone around him.

In the night, this group of crop men, and most of the people who did not have enough to eat, began to march silently, and with each step, they stomped on the ground fiercely, as if this would completely destroy the shackles in their hearts. No one knows how many days and nights they have endured in their hearts in order to do this tonight, but it doesn't matter now, they can't turn back when they embark on this road.

The vast sea of people, their destination is only one, that is the county guard's mansion, the leading man still remembers, the scumbag county guard, because others can't hand over enough food, beat the man of that family to death, the man's daughter is holding her father's corpse crying to death, the county guard saw that she was still a little beautiful, and was forcibly arrested into the county guard's mansion to be the so-called maid.

The front is the county guard's house, and these have already figured out the rules of the county guard's house at night, changing every night, two people outside the door and two people inside the door. At this moment, the housekeeper on night duty outside the door was dozing off the pillars on both sides, and the saliva of one of them hung a foot long on his mouth. Several people around the leading man rushed up, pressed the two family members to the ground, covered their mouths and prevented them from talking, the leading man went straight to the gate of the county guard's mansion, and forcefully buckled the copper ring on the door, and buckled it several times before someone opened the door a crack, and the family who opened the door yawned and asked, "Who?" ”

After saying this, the family who opened the door raised his head impatiently, and when his eyes touched the pair of black eyes standing outside the door, he was suddenly stunned, and then subconsciously wanted to close the door, but it was still a step too late, someone used a hoe to hold the door against it, several people forcibly pushed the door open, pressed the door to the ground and beat it, and the other family shook his head, obviously just woke up by the abnormal movement around him, he just opened his eyes, and before he could speak, he was knocked unconscious by a punch from the leading man.

The entire county guard was in a state of sleep, and no one was aware of the danger.

The county guard had just been in the clouds and rain with his concubine, and he was sleeping like a dead pig at the moment, and he didn't even know that the door of the bedroom was knocked open, but his concubine grabbed the quilt and covered her chest, while trying hard to wake up the county guard.

"Ouch, what are you doing? You abrasive little goblin, do you want to do it all over again? The county guard was sleepy-eyed, and he stretched out his hand to hug the concubine.

"Master, look at the door......" The concubine's voice was crying.

"What's wrong? Is there still a ghost? The county guard turned over and sat up from the bed at once, he looked at the people standing in his bedroom, his voice trembled, "Heroes, if you want money, I will go and give it to you, I understand the truth of breaking wealth and eliminating disasters, I just ask you heroes to spare my life." ”

There was dead silence, no one spoke, only the low whimper of the county guard's concubine.

But the county guard suddenly laughed, he grabbed the concubine's hand and pulled her off, "If you like this little slut, just take it, this little slut's bed work is amazing, and the uncles are comfortable." ”

The concubine's face suddenly changed when she heard this, she hugged the hand of the county guard and lay down, begging: "Master, please, don't, please, for the sake of me serving you for so many years!" ”

The county guard snorted coldly, broke free of the concubine's hand, slapped it hard, and said viciously, "Is Lao Tzu's life important, or is your cheap life important?" ”

This slap concubine completely understood, it turned out that she was just an item in the eyes of this county guard, an item that could be traded, and she no longer begged for mercy, slowly lowered her body, and cried in a low voice.

The county guard turned his face to look at the group of people again, lowered his eyebrows and said, "Just fight more of this cheap bone......

As soon as the words fell, the man closest to the county guard suddenly smashed his fist, and the county guard was beaten back and hit the bedpost, and his head bounced back, and the county guard covered his left eye that was beaten into a panda eye, and was angry, "You! Do you know who I am?! ”

"I'm the warden of Hanoi! I am the parent of the people of Hanoi! How dare you hit me! ”

"I know." The man who hit him said lightly.

Someone lit an oil lamp and held it up, illuminating the face of the leading man, and the county guard's face suddenly turned pale, "Yes...... It's you? ”

"Well, it's me, so, you can go and die." The man waved his hand and said coldly.

As if he had suddenly untied the shackles on his body, the people behind the man could no longer suppress the anger in their hearts, and the screams of the county guard who rushed up with sickles, hoes, and sticks were like frightened pigs, and they chopped the county guard into meat puree with a stick and a stick, a kick and a hoe, and the county guard's mediocre-looking but plump and enchanting concubine had already fainted with fright, and was left to hang aside and no one cared about it.

In September of the 11th year of Tianfu, a peasant uprising broke out in Hanoi County, Sizhou, angry peasants rushed into the county guard with farm tools and sticks in their hands and killed the county guard, and captured Hanoi County before dawn, the well-equipped garrison army was defeated in the face of the loose peasant army, because most of them were the sons of peasants, and their parents' experience of being oppressed by the government made them really unable to do it, and most of them put down their weapons before the peasant army rushed up.

The uprising in Hanoi was like a spark on fire, and more and more counties broke out peasant uprisings, although most of these uprisings came from rural counties that were slightly remote and relatively low-garrisoned, and the uprisings were not necessarily successful, but there is no doubt that the impact of the uprising was increasing.

This turbulent pattern of the world is becoming more and more incomprehensible.
