Text Chapter 166 The True Colors of Heroes
In human feelings, the most touching thing is not the crying of tears, nor the madness of hysteria, but the real telling of sadness.
Lu Jun is just a child less than ten years old, and almost every family has such a child. Whether they are poor or rich, they should have their own happy childhood, and they should not be exposed to the darkness and suffering of this world too early.
However, overnight, he was left with nothing. The two relatives who depended on each other, the old father was buried under the pile of rubble, and they had already been burned to ashes. My sister was lying in the carriage of this carriage, and she was also tortured to death by the demons of this world.
The thousands of people gathered heard the child's complaint. There was irrepressible cursing in the crowd, and some people began to shout, asking Chang'an Mansion to deal with it impartially, and asking to go to Tingwei's Mansion to complain!
Chang'an ordered Wang Fang to let go, and his face was pale, and he asked the people in the government to hurry up and take the child away, and not to deceive people here. However, the chief catcher Yun Meng did not move, the main Bo Yao Shang had a serious face, and all his subordinates seemed to be deaf, and some even had a faint grief and indignation on their faces.
Is this going to be a rebellion? Wang was so angry that he was about to open his mouth to reprimand, but the captain of the patrol guard beside him quietly tugged at his sleeve, winked at him vigorously, and signaled him not to speak again. Wang Fang was stunned for a moment, and when he looked over with the captain's eyes, he saw that not far ahead, the young man in plain clothes was glancing at him intentionally or unintentionally, his eyes were like a sharp sword, cold to the bone, and it was chilling!
As long as the people who know this little marquis and see his face at this time, no one will doubt that if anyone touches the scales at this time and blood is splashed on the spot, it is not a lie.
Most of the people in Chang'an Mansion went to fight the drought outside the city in the spring with Ji Di, and at that critical time, it was the little marquis in front of him who led everyone to dig out the life-saving dragon head canal, and no one did not admire him from the bottom of his heart. In this contest between good and evil, who will help the evil and oppose him!
Even the patrol guards who were present did not act rashly, because they had already received a secret order from Tian Shaozhong, the general of the patrol guards, to wait and see what happened, and they must not act without permission until the matter is clear.
The crowd was furious, like the waves brewing before a tsunami. Yuan Zhao stood up and stood on the carriage, his face was calm at this moment. Someone saw the figure of the young man, and their eyes began to look this way.
Yuan Zhao glanced around, there were many familiar faces in the crowd, people in the government, several ministers who cared about his safety, some of the secret forces led by Zhao Yuan, many unidentified sturdy men, of course, most of them were ordinary people in Chang'an City.
"I think everyone saw what happened last night, someone killed people and set fire to this place in order to vent their personal anger."
The tone was flat, but everyone could hear it clearly. All the voices stopped, and they began to listen to him quietly.
"Everyone is born to their parents, and they come to this world to seek a stable life. We don't live to be killed! No one, high or low, has the right to deprive another of his life. ”
Yuan Zhao suppressed the anger in his heart, trying not to use those sharp words. But just these few words already made the eyes of those who looked up and listened, and there was a light of excitement flickering.
Chang'an Ling Wang Fang's face became more and more ugly, he didn't understand why Yuan Zhao would say such things to these ordinary people. However, he had a faint premonition in his heart that something big might really happen today!
"More than 70 years ago, when Emperor Gaozu pacified the heroes and laid the foundation of my Han Dynasty, he personally issued the first decree: those who kill will die for their crimes! With this alone, the chaotic world was settled in the shortest possible time. Why? Fair and fair! However, how many people still remember this article today? How many people regard human life as an ordinary thing! ”
On the periphery of the crowd, there were several people wearing Confucian clothes nodding slightly, and the man led by him was in his forties, and his eyes showed pity.
Speaking of this, Yuan Zhao looked down at the lifeless body wrapped in white linen, he opened the carriage, and everyone saw the devastated and beautiful face. The boy's flat tone finally began to become agitated.
"Sister Lu is just like a flower, and she hasn't had time to taste the beauty of life, but she died like this, in the hands of those domineering gentlemen. I'm sure there have been a lot of things like this before, right? Everyone has compassion, but there are no more murderers! They are no longer human, but man-eating demons! ”
Are there still few people who have been bullied in Chang'an City? The answer is, quite a few! And a lot. Many people began to be reminded of old hatred in their hearts, and the sound of crying and cursing came and went.
"There is a saying in the world that says very well, your destiny is in your own hands! Yesterday he was bullied and you didn't say anything. Today, I was bullied, and you didn't speak out. So tomorrow when it's your turn, who's going to speak for you!?"
The crowd began to applaud and shout, "Seek justice, kill the demons!" Seek justice and kill the demon ......! Soon, the mess was shouting.
Yuan Zhao waved his hand and continued to say loudly: "What's the matter with the lamb's mouth, there is no sound of the secret slaughter!" If everyone doesn't want to suffer the same fate tomorrow, then don't be a shut-in-mouthed lamb. Come with me, follow me to seek justice, show the courage in your hearts, so that you and your descendants will not be bullied at will! ”
After Yuan Zhao finished the last sentence, he pulled up the reins, waved his whip in the air, and drove the carriage first, without looking behind him. If there is no such blood, then all people deserve to continue to be humiliated!
Lu Jun sat beside Yuan Zhao, and the blood all over his body was about to burn. He had only one thought echoing in his mind: "After avenging the great revenge, the rest of his life will be this person's!"
Blood, everyone has it, regardless of whether they are strong or weak. It just depends on whether it's worth fighting again.
It was only a moment of hesitation, and when someone began to follow the carriage, the crowd began to move. First the people who lived on this street, then the people who had been bullied by those powerful and wealthy families, and then the people of Chang'an.
The mighty crowd rushed forward, and the surging anger was unstoppable! The guards of the patrol flashed on the side of the street, standing with their hands down, and no one dared to take a step to stop them. Excluding the hidden respect in my heart, whoever goes against the trend at this time may be trampled into powder immediately!
This is the will of the people! Is public opinion the way of heaven? The Confucian who was well versed in ancient and modern learning and wealth sighed silently, and also walked forward with the crowd, and the disciples behind him followed closely.
Chang'an Ling Wang Fang trembled violently, he opened his mouth several times, and wanted to order everyone in the palace to rush forward, arrest that Changle Hou, and disperse the crowd. But when he saw the indifferent expressions of his men, he swallowed back his words.
What bad luck! The official luck is unlucky, just a few days after taking office, I encountered such a thing, it seems that the thousands of taels of gold given to Prime Minister Tian Cheng are going to be lost, and whether this official hat can be kept is still in the second place!
Seeing his gloomy face, Yun Meng and Yao Shang glanced at each other, and the two had the same mind, so they took off their official uniforms and joined the ranks of moving forward. When the government officials heard the speech of the little marquis, many people were already very agitated in their hearts, and when they saw that the chief catcher and the master bookkeeper had done so, what were they afraid of! Let's go, let's all follow, it's also good to cheer for the little marquis.
Go to the west city, look back at the amber color of this life, the north city trick, turn around and be glazed white!
Yuan Zhao's carriage circled one and a half from Xicheng, turned four or five streets, and began to come towards Beicheng, and people continued to join along the way, and the procession behind him became larger and larger.
It turned out that within the time of a meal in the early morning, the streets and alleys of Chang'an City had been plastered all over by someone. In modern parlance, it's a big-character poster written on a cloth.
The person who wrote these contents was obviously a master of writing and ink, and the whole text was like a bloody dagger, rendering those cruelty and crimes to the fullest, and the explanations of the people next to him made everyone indignant and angry, and wept sadly.
In such an atmosphere, when they heard that the little marquis who was famous in Chang'an was going to be single to seek justice, everyone was moved. The legacy of the Spring and Autumn Period, the chivalrous bones are still there, and they lie in the folk!
So, when I was halfway there, there were more than 10,000 people following me. On the carriage at the front, Yuan Zhao's face was calm and unwavering. When he looked to the side casually, nearly a hundred big men were coming out of the restaurant and silently dispersed into the crowd.
By the window facing the street of the Moon Man Building, a man named Ji Ying arched his hand to Yuan Zhao and smiled kindly. The Ji family finally made their choice!
Yuan Zhao took a deep breath and turned another intersection, and it was Xuanwu Street!
And just half an hour ago, Xincheng Houfu, like many wealthy families living here, had learned the latest developments in advance.
Since Yuan Zhao left, Li Ji still paid some attention to what he said. After all, he has been through the wind and rain for a long time, and he is more sensitive to danger than others. Hearing that the kid was very skilled, he instructed the sons who went home to bring a message to their Lao Tzu and strengthen the vigilance in the house. On the other side, the leaders of the Li family's stewards and guards were summoned and made some arrangements, after all, they were prepared, just in case.
But he actually doesn't care a little too much in his heart, if it is a heavy general with military power and a threat to the family, it is worth paying serious attention to. But Yuan Zhao is an idle marquis, what else can you do? Kill people by breaking into the house with personal bravery? That's really a big offense.
Think about how powerful King Liang was back then! The only younger brother of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, the youngest son of Empress Dowager Dou, and the greatest contributor to the pacification of the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion. Just because he was not satisfied with the minister's refutation of his proposal, he sent assassins to assassinate Yuan An, what was the result? All the henchmen who participated in his plot were wiped out, and since then, the brothers have turned against each other, their glory and favor have declined, and they finally died of depression.
And what basis does Yuan Zhao have? Would he dare to risk his life to do such a thing? It would be good if he really did this, there would be no place for him in the world!
Other than that, he couldn't think of any other way to confront a huge group unless he used the army. Speaking of the army, Riji laughed silently.
There are only a few military forces near Chang'an. The Royal Yulin Army was tasked with guarding the two palaces, and no one could move except the emperor. The patrol guards stationed near the south gate of the three thousand cavalry, responsible for the safety of the ground in the capital, to prevent emergencies, the leader of the Zhonglang will be Wu'an Hou Tian Jue's eldest son Tian Shaozhong, is also an unruly guy, I heard that he has a deep holiday with Yuan Zhao.
And the garrison outside the city, there are two places. One is the North Camp, and the other is the Northwest Willow Camp. Both of these places were the elite of the Han army. The Xiliu battalion was stationed here to prevent the surprise attack of the Huns, and the generals in the army only obeyed the dispatch of the emperor Hufu. And the Beida camp is not to mention, that is the base camp of these generals, and there are many children in the family who serve in the army, and once there is a stir, they will already know about it.
Therefore, Li Ji is very relieved, the cruel words that kid said should be regarded as an ignorant child's words! Hum! Dare to be so rude at a young age, and when he has kung fu in a few days, he has to clean him up.
However, he made thousands of calculations, but he missed two points, that is, the emperor's will and Yuan Zhao's appeal. The consequence of this fatal omission will be the collapse of the entire elite group and the landing of tens of millions of heads!
In the early days of the Hanyuan Hall of Weiyang Palace, all the ministers saw that the emperor was different today. Although he was still dressed in plain clothes, he was rarely equipped with a sword today.
Liu Che was in his youth, walking like a tiger, changing the decadence and helplessness of the previous days, sitting on the throne, and before waiting for the ministers to do something, he first issued his first imperial decree today.
Hearing the content of the imperial decree, the officials who didn't know the details were taken aback, this is too abnormal! Unless something major happens, the Son of Heaven will make such a decision, what's wrong with it today?
Because, the emperor's order is: due to the emergency military situation, Dou Ying, who is idle at home, is specially ordered to rush to the northern army camp immediately with the emperor's tiger talisman!
It is no wonder that the courtiers were horrified in their hearts, the elite of the Northern Army has always been the most important military force to deter Chang'an City, and whoever controls this army is equivalent to holding most of Chang'an City in the palm of his hand. What is the Emperor going to do? actually reactivated Dou Ying, who had great prestige in the army!
This is not the end, after Dou Ying stepped forward to bow down and receive the order, he solemnly took the emperor's tiger talisman. Liu Che stood up, bypassed the imperial case, walked down the ninth-level golden steps, and came to the old minister of the three dynasties, took off the matching sword between his hands, and stared at Dou Ying's eyes, with an extremely solemn expression.
"Today's matter, there is Lao Douqing, the responsibility is heavy, and Fei Qing can't do it! I give you this sword, there are those who disobey the control in the army, below the general, you don't have to reciprocate, you can cut them! ”
Dou Ying raised his hands above the top, took the sword of the Son of Heaven, and said in a loud voice: "The old minister is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses, and he will live up to His Majesty's trust!"
Then one, two, and three...... Energetic, he got on his horse and went out of the palace surrounded by a team of fierce horsemen.
There was silence in the Hanyuan Palace, except for a very few who knew the inside story. From Prime Minister Tian Ying and Imperial Doctor Gongsun Hong to the next, there are those who are shocked, those who change color in shock, those who are excited, and those who are excited and inspired. Liu Che looked at everyone's expressions and was very satisfied, this is what he wanted!
No one thought that on this ordinary day, a major political event that swept the government and the opposition and shocked the world suddenly broke out.
When Li Ji heard the stewards come in in a panic to report the latest news, he was drinking milk, yes, it was human milk, this was the secret recipe he had obtained from the immortal master, and he had insisted on it for several years.
For this purpose, the house specially raises several nurses, just to supply the freshest milk to the lord to ensure longevity. The effect is still obvious, the old thief, who is already in his seventies, shows a mouthful of white Sensen's teeth, and drinks it carefully, his lips and teeth are fragrant, and he is full of energy.
What the! The city is plastered with dew cloths that expose the crimes of several of their families? There are still a large number of people making trouble, and they are already coming this way?
Accustomed to intrigue for a long time, Riji immediately sensed that something was wrong. He kicked over the nurse who was kneeling in front of him, and when Huo stood up, he happened to see the Li brothers also running in from outside.
"Dad (second uncle), it's not good! That kid from Yuanzhao actually encouraged the people of Chang'an, all the way to the momentum, and he was about to come here! What to do, Dad? ”
Seeing the panicked appearance of the brothers, Li Ji felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart, he was old and had a son, he was too doting, and he hadn't seen a little wind and waves, but it was just some flat-headed people making trouble, so he was scared like this, how could this work? Thinking that thousands of troops and horses fought on the battlefield back then, they didn't frown a single brow, would they retreat today!
"Panic what! That kid was dizzy, and in broad daylight, he dared to gather the crowd to attack the mansion of the noble hero, which in itself was a capital crime! The tiger has been sleeping for too long, and it is regarded as a sick cat, right? This is a good opportunity to stand up, immediately gather people, and let all those guys in the mansion go out. Also, send for your uncles and uncles, and send them out of their respective families, and go to the streets, and keep me on guard. Those who dare to cross the line will be killed immediately! ”
Li Ji was also the general of the unified army back then, and at this time he raised his eyebrows, his face was full of evil spirit, and he was majestic. Li Ping'an and Li Shizong immediately increased their confidence, agreed, and went to make separate arrangements.
"The kid has some means, and he knows how to use his strength. Hum! Unfortunately, you're looking for the wrong person. You must not be left today, lest you become a great calamity for another day! ”
Li Ji has always been a ruthless person, and if he finds a sign of a threat to him, he will quickly extinguish it, which is why he has lived for so long!
Xuanwu Street, finally arrived! Yuanzhao's carriage did not stop, rushing straight forward. It had been two hours since he had come for the first time. If the previous time he came to save people, then this time, he led the wrath of the people behind him to send some of the demons here back to hell!
The horse neighed softly, and its footsteps stopped for a moment. Yuan Zhao glanced disdainfully at the front, the samurai in strong armor with swords, guns, swords, halberds and various blades in their hands lined up the entire street, murderous!
"If your souls are still lingering around here, just watch them well, they will all be your burial companions!"
The heavens and the earth are dark, and the wind is blowing, as if there is a mournful sigh. His voice was low and soft, as if he was afraid of waking up some sleeping soul and that she would not be ......so peaceful.
