Text Chapter 383 Chang'an Night Turmoil

Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang, founded the country, because he learned the lesson of the Qin Dynasty's harsh and violent laws and caused chaos in the world, in order to support the people's livelihood and quickly restore the social situation, he listened to the suggestions of Prime Minister Xiao He and others, and adopted a relatively loose legal model to govern the world.

The first few articles of the Han Dynasty code were very simple, that is, Emperor Gaozu put forward after Dingding Guanzhong, "the murderer dies, and the thief and injury are punished." Later, the two emperors Wen and Jing also sought leniency, and reduced the criminal law several times, so that the population grew and the world prospered.

Such an approach, in serious terms, has both advantages and disadvantages. The biggest drawback is that because of the reduction of punishment, the subject's reverence for the laws of the court is weakened, and the personal arrogance is increasing, so that they have the courage to fight privately, disrupt the social order, and cause a lot of harm.

Since today's son succeeded to the throne, he has long recognized such drawbacks, and has also carried out several key crackdowns on gang figures such as Jianghu heroes, and has achieved certain results. But at the level of society as a whole, there has been no comprehensive improvement. The phenomenon of private fights inherited from the Spring and Autumn Period still occurs from time to time, although the scale is not large, but it is also a headache.

The current law does not have a clear provision to stop such private fights for some reason, which makes many people fearless and rely on their own power or force to do whatever they want.

Just like Liu Fei, the king of Jiangdu, who dared to openly rob people in the Chang'an Street Market, on the one hand, in addition to his own arrogance, there is also a reason that once the matter is big, they can completely attribute such a matter to personal grievances caused by jealousy in private, and even if it is to the court at that time, I am afraid that there will be no result.

What's more, King Jiangdu also had some other purposes, so he was so unwilling to give up, and chased him all the way to the door of the Marquis of Changle's mansion. In his mind, even if the mother and daughter of the Su family hid here, would the Changle Marquis Mansion, where Yuan Zhao was not there, still have the ability to shelter them?

However, he was a little wrong, even if Yuan Zhao was not there, the power of the Changle Marquis Mansion should not be underestimated. What King Jiangdu and a group of Chang'an disciples didn't expect was that the guards of the Marquis of Changle Mansion would be so violent, they didn't even ask the identity of the other party, and they killed them directly.

The two sides had a scuffle on the street, although the number of guards in the Hou Mansion was small, but they were all brave, especially the two chicks who rushed out of the mansion later, the two of them looked exactly the same, two people with two swords, they looked extremely handsome, but they were extremely ruthless, almost bloody. In less than a moment, the king of Jiangdu couldn't stand it, and the hero didn't eat the loss in front of him, and when he saw that the situation was not good, everyone fled in embarrassment.

Yuan accepted it as soon as he saw it, and when he saw that they had run away, he beckoned his brothers not to chase after them. He knew the identities of these people, and he had already told him not to kill people when the fight started just now, so they all showed mercy. Pack up your things and go home at the moment, and go to Mrs. Su to learn the details.

Jiangdu King Liu Fei's heart is not to mention, leading a large group of people, running through two streets before stopping. When he looked back, he saw that no one was chasing him, and he couldn't help but be angry and stop everyone's footsteps. After examination, many people were injured, although not too serious, they were also bloodstained and very embarrassed.

I didn't expect the dragon and crouching tiger to be hidden in the mansion of the Marquis of Changle! It is impossible to do it with these horses under his own command. These Chang'an gentlemen are even more bluffing, and if they want to compete with real swords and guns, it won't play a big role.

King Jiangdu thought about it, and secretly had a plan in his heart. Since this matter has already begun, it must not be abandoned halfway. Looks like it's time to hire some help. Thinking of this, seeing that twilight was coming, he quietly dismissed everyone and asked them to go home to treat their wounds. Only a few close confidants were left behind, and they returned to their palace in Chang'an with Li Yannian to secretly discuss countermeasures.

Chang'an, the imperial capital of this glorious dynasty, after nightfall, the lights of thousands of homes are lit up one after another, and they become a galaxy in the world. Under this prosperous scene, there are many joys and sorrows in the world.

The fight on the street in front of the Changle Marquis Mansion took place for a short time, and it was in the twilight, so it has not spread yet, and not many people know about it. Although Yuan Zhao is already a figure who shakes the government and the opposition, he is not in Chang'an now, no matter what purpose he has, his eyes at this moment are only in the far north of Xinjiang, and the Hou Mansion where he is not there is no longer the focus of attention.

The people in the Changle Marquis's Mansion actually didn't take the fight that happened just now seriously, it was just a good fight in Chang'an. They have already written down this account, and when the little marquis comes back, the people involved in this matter will naturally get the punishment they deserve.

What makes everyone sad now is the sadness of Ganoderma lucidum. Although Mrs. Su is also sad, she has experienced a lot of things after all, but she is not like this simple girl, and she can't help herself from being sad. Since the evening, Lingzhi has not even eaten food, and the tears have always been unstoppable. The sisters who accompanied her tried their best to persuade her, but they couldn't let go of her after all.

This kind of emotion also infected everyone, although everyone didn't know much about the dead man, but they all had an admiration from the bottom of their hearts. Those who can sacrifice themselves to protect the Lord at critical moments are enough to be worthy of the word "loyalty".

When Yuan Yi took the arrow pulled out of Ma Qi's body, and when he looked carefully, he saw that the word "Jiangdu" was engraved on this weighty iron arrow, and he thought of Mrs. Su's statement, and his attitude was a little silent. The rest of the people looked at each other, and they also felt heavy in their hearts.

These people from the palace know some of the secrets of the battles between the palaces, and they have also heard about the actions of several princes. And they have been following Yuan Zhao for a long time, and it is extremely clear what kind of short-term protection this little marquis of their own family is. If the little marquis comes back, the contradictions will become ossified, and it will be impossible to end when the time comes, but it is also very worrying.

After a moment of discussion, everyone decided to ignore these things that had not yet happened. The current task is to protect the safety of Mrs. Su and Lingzhi first, wait and see what happens, if the situation is calm, there is no need to do much, everything will be dealt with after Yuan Zhao returns. If something happens again, then of course they will not stand idly by, even if they sacrifice their lives, they must be left unscathed.

Of course, Fan Xuelou can't go back for the time being, and Changle Hou's mansion has its own residence for Su Hongyun and Lingzhi. They used to live here occasionally, but at this time, the Ling sisters packed everything for them and accompanied and persuaded them.

When the night was darker, Yuan Yi arranged the vigilance in the house. When something like this happens, there is always some inexplicable uneasiness in my heart. Just in case, it's better to be vigilant these days.

The people on duty in the first half of the night were Yuan 18 and Yuan 9. After a few rounds of the tour, the two jumped onto the roof of the backyard, where they could see most of the mansion. When it was nearly three watches, the night was cold, Yuan Jiu took out a pot of wine from his arms and handed it to the eighteenth, the youngest guard in the Hou Mansion stood up with his head raised and drank a big sip of cold, a sip of wine into his throat has not been swallowed, in the light and shadow of the lantern at the foot of the building, the shadows of several night walkers suddenly swept past the corners of his eyes.

Yuan Eighteen was shocked, the wine jug was thrown out casually, and the reflex was generally probed and pulled out the knife. Although Yuan Jiu hadn't seen anything unusual yet, the two had the same mind, and he immediately realized that something had happened. At the same time as he drew his sword, he issued a sharp whistle from his mouth, reminding the people in the house that there was an enemy attack!

At this moment, I saw that from the area of the courtyard wall, waves of black shadows began to appear in large numbers, swords and swords, murderous, after careful planning, hundreds of night walkers who were instructed by others poured into the mansion of the Marquis of Changle. Then the fire suddenly rose, the sound of killing suddenly rose, and the turbulent night began to ......!

Chang'an is in turmoil, and it has not stopped for the time being, and the grassland at this moment has long been extinguished. When another night came, the area seemed somewhat peaceful. After Yuan Zhao led the Black Eagle Army to defeat the army of King Youxian, he set a fire and completely burned down Longcheng, and then led all his men and horses to retreat to the south of the Yellow River, guarding the Hetao grassland, waiting for the arrival of the follow-up Han army support.

Yuan Zhao knew very well in his heart the current situation between Han and Hungary, if his appetite was too great, with the current strength of the Han army, he would not be able to eat it at all. This time, after the victory of the Henan Campaign, as long as the Hetao grassland was recaptured, the set operational objectives had already been accomplished. The power of the Huns should not be underestimated, and it is unrealistic to try to destroy them or bring them to their knees by winning one or two wars.

The great victory of Yanmen Pass, Yuan Zhao has already received the battle report. The victory made him very pleased. Although the defenders of Yanmen paid great sacrifices, the 100,000 Hun cavalry were basically wiped out, which can be regarded as the biggest victory since the Han-Hungarian War.

After this battle, from the Hetao grassland under his feet to Yanmen Pass, this land with a radius of more than 300 miles, there was no longer the existence of the Huns. The armies of Yanmen, Yunzhong, and Shanggu have already drawn a large number of military forces and begun to gather in this direction, and they will be able to arrive by tomorrow afternoon at the latest. Advancing the battle line here, bounded by the Yellow River, the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu temporarily confronted each other, and this was the latest situation that was about to take shape in the coming years.

The moon is bright in the sky, the grassland is vast, and the rolling water of the Yellow River rushes to the east from not far away. Blazing bonfires lit everywhere, and the Black Hawks finally got a relaxing rest after the victory.

He led his 100 cavalry to pursue the remnants of the enemy until Huo Quai, who got here, was as excited as all the soldiers. They were all waiting and looking forward to it, because Master Yuanzhao said that he was going to make something delicious to treat everyone.
