Chapter 112: Sacrifice
The crowd was in a state of extreme excitement, and even if someone shouted "there is a treasure hidden in the water", everyone would not hesitate to rush to the river and rush to jump in, of course, if they found nothing in the water, they would be unusually angry when they came out.
The queen was a "treasure" that everyone could see, and the call of the donkey child was immediately approved by everyone, and the cry was rather chaotic at first, but soon became neat and unanimous - "Queen Mother! Queen Mother! ”
Han Ruzi couldn't "wait and see" anymore, and loudly told everyone that Jin Chuiduo was not the "queen", but his voice was drowned out, in the palace, the emperor's eyes were concerned, in the fishing village, unless the voice can surpass everyone, otherwise even the gods can't make everyone obedient.
Lin Kunshan in the crowd smiled and waved his hand gently, Han Ruzi had to shut up, these people supported him and knelt down to him, but they were far from being used by him.
The screams finally worked, and the dragonfly burst out of the room, shouting a loud order to shut up, only adding a sharp background to the screams. The dragonfly walked up to the tired marquis and glared at him angrily, and Han Ruzi smiled helplessly.
Several women in the fishing village are usually very timid, and when they bring food to the "emperor" and "empress", they have to push me to let them, but at this time, they are instigated by everyone, and they are actually bold, and five or six people squeeze into the house, and soon put the golden hanging flowers out.
The cry of "Queen Mother" became louder, and the crowd knelt down again.
Jin Chuiduo was ashamed and angry, but she was restrained by a few pairs of thick palms, and she was powerless to resist at all, until the village women also knelt down, she was a little free, and she also glared angrily at the tired marquis.
Han Ruzi could only smile helplessly, and even such an expression couldn't be done for too long. He must show majesty and mystery in front of everyone, and be under the shroud of "Tianzi Qi" at all times.
The enthusiasm of the crowd is getting higher and higher, and there is no sign of the end, I don't know who proposed, someone removed a door panel, and I can't help but say. Pushing the emperor and the queen up, a group of people carried the door panel and paraded around, while others crowded around, taking turns to compete for the glory of carrying.
The lifter was already unsteady, and each scramble led to more violent rocking and undulation, and the two people sitting on it clung to the edge of the door, so focused on keeping their bodies balanced, that they no longer had the energy to object.
Jin Chunzhong and Dragonfly were blocked by the crowd at the outermost level, watching all this in amazement. At first, I was a little anxious and angry, but slowly I was only surprised.
The people first came to the courtyard where they had gathered, where the bonfire had not yet been extinguished, and some people threw more wood into it to make the fire burn more vigorously, and then the man who carried the door turned and stood in front of the bonfire, and the others knelt before the emperor and the queen with the flames, and muttered everything and so on.
Han Ruzi and Jin Chuiduo only felt that their backs were extremely hot. I didn't dare to make a mess of it, for fear that these people would throw them into the fire to worship the gods when they were disappointed.
Then. The team was discharged from the hospital and came to the water's edge, where there was another round of kneeling, and many people walked to the water's edge and even entered the lake to drink water. Then pour on top of your head.
The old fisherman Chao Yongsi and an old woman used clay pots to hold water and gave them to the "emperor" and "empress" respectively.
Under the gaze of many expectant eyes, Han Ruzi took the clay pot, brought it to his mouth and took a sip, scooping out a little water from it with his hands. poured on top of his head, causing bursts of cheers.
Jin Chuiduo bit her lip and thought for a while, then looked up at the second brother and Yahuan, who were waving at her with their backs to the firelight, with a smile on their faces. Jin Chuduo was furious, but she didn't dare to show it, the longbow was not at hand, and she was just an ordinary girl.
She could only do so, and when she finally poured water on her head, she scooped out a little water and wiped it on her forehead.
This was enough, and the cheers of the crowd to the "Queen Mother" were even louder.
After more than half an hour of commotion, the enthusiasm of the whole fishing village finally faded, and the most urgent and practical problem had to be considered: how to exterminate the rebellious ministers and thieves and send the "emperor" and "empress" back to the palace.
But they didn't plan to let the people concerned come up with ideas, and sent the first emperor and one queen back to the Chao family's house, closed the door, and Jin Chunzhong and Dragonfly were also stopped outside.
Everyone was discussing outside, shouting constantly, listening to their meaning, it seemed that they were going to rush into the capital overnight, but this plan was too loophole, except for people like Donkey Xiaoer, no one refused to support it, and it was soon abandoned, and the voice of the controversy became weaker and weaker, but the content of the discussion became more and more pragmatic.
Han Ruzi had been standing at the door and listening, and found that these people were not all reckless, he breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to Jin Chuiduo, who was sitting on the low kang, and said: "Lin Kunshan really has some ability, he doesn't talk much, but every time it is appropriate, he can change the topic and lead to the aspect he wants, it is not blunt at all, it seems that the ideas are all thought up by others." ”
There was no sound on the kang, and the vague figure was motionless, as if it had really become a clay puppet.
The discussion outside was so small that it was hard to hear, Han Ruzi straightened up, looked towards Jin Chuiduo, and said sincerely: "Miss Wang, forgive me, you have also seen it, this is really not my idea, and they will not listen to my words." ”
After a while, there was a snort from the kang.
"After a while, I think I can control these people, and when the time comes, you can leave or stay, you can do whatever you want, I won't force ......"
Han Ruzi took a step forward, and Jin Chuiduo immediately said, "Don't come over." ”
"Okay, I'm not going to go." Han Ruzi stopped, the room was not very big, the earthen kang was diagonally opposite the door, and the two of them thought that they were no more than seven or eight steps apart.
Han Ruzi leaned at the door again to listen, only a vague buzzing sound came into his ears, and he said: "It is definitely not possible to rely on these people alone, I don't know how many righteous people can gather, but there are many people who move and there is a lot of movement, once the court is alert, the rabble is still vulnerable." The Qi Seekers have been in contact with the Cui family, and they must have a plan, but Lin Kunshan refused to disclose it, saying that the time was not ripe......"
There was a strange sound coming from the kang, like a sigh, and like a sob.
Han Ruzi was embarrassed all of a sudden, "I'm really sorry, as long as I can give an order, I will let you go immediately, and if possible, I will send someone to send you to the grassland." Da Chu and the Xiongnu want to decide the winner on the battlefield, and they will not embarrass your Jin family. ”
The other side was silent for a while, and Jin Chuiduo spoke, still so cold, not at all like he had cried, "It's not you who I'm complaining about." ”
"Not me? Those people didn't mean to, they didn't see the queen, they saw you...... I thought ......"
"I don't blame them, I only blame the second brother and the dragonfly, they see jokes and don't come to help me......" There was a little cry in Jin Chuiduo's voice.
Han Ruzi breathed a sigh of relief, not only that, but also spit out this breath out of his mouth, his voice was too obvious, and immediately attracted a reprimand from the other side: "You also laughed at me, I knew that you had bad intentions." ”
"No, no, you misunderstood, I just ...... I have a wife, we are very affectionate, she was the queen before, and if I have a chance to regain the throne, she will still be the queen. ”
There was no sound on the other side, and Han Ruzi was glad that she had persuaded her, but she was not sure in her heart, and she always felt that she had said something wrong.
Han Ruzi jumped to the side of the kang in two steps, Jin Chuiduo was just about to scold angrily, Han Ruzi said in a low voice: "Someone is coming." ”
As soon as the words fell, the door opened, and the old fisherman Chao Yongsi stood at the door and said respectfully: "Please ask Your Majesty to make a plan." ”
"Okay." Han Ruzi said, got up and walked out of the room, the dragonfly that had been waiting outside for a long time ran into the house, Jin Chunzhong glared at him and said, "You didn't ......"
"I didn't." Han Ruzi immediately said, anyway, no matter what the other party wanted to ask, he would answer the same way.
Jin Chunzhong also ran into the house, the door was closed, how Jin Chuiduo lost his temper with the second brother and Yahuan, Han Ruzi didn't know, and he didn't want to eavesdrop.
Hundreds of people stood outside, and compared with the previous mixture, there was already a little rule: people from different villages stood together, scattered in groups, a total of more than a dozen teams, each team of as little as five or six people, as many as thirty people, most of them only had weapons such as wooden sticks, but the expressions on their faces were about to fight a battle that was sure to be won.
Chao Yongsi said: "We have made two plans, please choose one for Your Majesty." ”
"Please." Han Ruzi had to be polite and dignified, so he tried to speak as short as possible.
"The first plan, let's find some more people, try to get together enough three thousand, and then find a way to get some weapons, sneak into the capital quietly, suddenly raise troops, send Your Majesty into the palace, order the ministers, and those who do not obey will be beheaded."
Dozens of people cheered, and it was clearly a plan they supported, simple and straightforward, and the results were immediate.
Han Ruzi immediately rejected this plan in his heart, but he still nodded and asked Chao Yongsi to continue.
"The second plan, the soldiers are divided into two routes, one goes to Jingbei, joins up with the volunteers there, provokes trouble, and leads out the northern army and the army in the city, and the other way stays in Jingnan to protect His Majesty to join forces with the southern army. I heard that Cui Hong, the chief secretary of the Southern Army, is the maternal uncle of the King of the East China Sea, and the King of the East China Sea is the half-brother of His Majesty, will they support His Majesty? ”
As soon as Han Ruzi heard it, he knew that this was Lin Kunshan's plan, and it was also the agreement reached between the Qi Seeker and the Cui family, so he pretended to think for a while and said, "The second plan is safer, but don't worry, I want to contact the Great Sima of the Southern Army and the King of the East China Sea first to find out their tone." ”
Lin Kunshan nodded slightly to Han Ruzi in agreement.
Ordinary people have no way of understanding the infighting in the palace, and they think that the brothers will support each other, and Han Ruzi will not say anything, the Cui family wants to use him to finally win the throne, and he will also use the Cui family to break through the first difficulty in the capital.
The "Emperor" made a decision, and everyone was happy, only people like Donkey Xiao'er were disappointed, feeling that it was not as enjoyable as the first plan, and their fighting spirit had been aroused, and they eagerly awaited the taste of blood.
"Since you have made a big plan, please ask the emperor to sacrifice the flag!" Someone shouted.
Without waiting for Han Ruzi to understand the meaning of "sacrificial flag", Chao Hua came over and gave him a quick knife, and several people escorted the traitor who was deceived outside.
The mole was tied up, stuffed with something in his mouth, kneeling on the ground and whining, begging for mercy from everyone.
Han Ruzi was a little unbearable, but the matter had come to this point, and he couldn't show mercy, so he walked towards the man with a knife, and several big men found a piece of cloth from nowhere, and opened a corner of each, ready to receive blood.
Han Ruzi had inadvertently caused the death of others, had ordered the death of certain people, and now he had to do it himself.
He suddenly remembered Yang Feng, and wondered if the eunuch agreed with his current approach. But Yang Feng is at most a teacher and a strategist, and the emperor has to make his own decisions after all, and Han Ruzi will not hesitate.
