217 Ancestor arrived

On the tenth day of the first month of June, Wuchang City is lit up everywhere, and the whole city is filled with a festive atmosphere, because today is the birthday of the great general Wang Dun. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

For the people in Wuchang City, Wang Dun is a good person, because since Wang Dun came here, the originally turbulent Wuchang City has been stabilized.

Since the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, the world is in turmoil, although Wuchang, which is located in the south of the Yangtze River, has not been affected too much, but after the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, the local forces have divided one side and each has its own affairs, resulting in the south has become not very peaceful, and the states and counties attack each other for their own selfish interests, and in the end, it is the common people who suffer.

Later, Wang Dun came with an army, and in the name of the imperial court, turned Wuchang City into his command center, and assigned generals to attack everywhere to fight those who did not obey the orders of the imperial court. For a time, Shi Huayi, the assassin of Jiangzhou, Du Tao, the leader of the exiles in Xiangzhou, and Du Zeng, who occupied northern Hunan, were all defeated by Wang Dun, and these regions were unified under the rule of the new imperial court established by Sima Rui.

Therefore, in the process of the establishment of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Wang Dun can be said to have made great contributions. However, gradually, Wang Dun's desire for power became greater and greater, and he began to appoint cronies and exclude dissidents, becoming more and more emboldened, and even having a heart of disobedience.

However, no matter how Wang Dun is, Wuchang City is always stable, and the people in the city don't care who is the emperor, as long as whoever makes the people live a good life, in the eyes of the people, who is a good person.

It is precisely because of such a foundation that on the tenth day of June every year, the people in Wuchang City will spontaneously put up lanterns to celebrate Wang Dun's birthday like a festival.

Chen, a team of people and horses in the navy governor Guo Shu under the escort, slowly drove into Wuchang City, there have already been officers and soldiers in the city of the main road to martial law, a group of people riding a high-headed horse, proud through the street, the first person is not someone else, it is Yuzhou Thorn Shi Zu.

As soon as Zu Ti entered Wuchang City, he noticed that the shops on both sides of the street were lit up, and he thought about it carefully, as if today was not a festival. Curious, he said to Guo Shu, who accompanied him: "General Guo, what day is today, why are the people in the city putting up lanterns, as if they are celebrating some festival?" ”

Guo Shu said with a smile: "General Zu, don't you know, today is not a festival, but the people in the city are spontaneously congratulating the general on his birthday." Every year on this day, Wuchang City will think about the festival, and it is very lively. In order to have fun with the people, the general deliberately lifted the curfew on this day, so that the people could enjoy the lanterns and go shopping at night. ”

After hearing this, Zu Ti was very unhappy in his heart, and said indignantly: "Hmph! In my opinion, in order to please the general, some people deliberately let every house in the city put up lanterns to celebrate! He celebrates his birthday alone, but he has the people of the whole city to accompany him, which is really unseemly! ”

Guo Shu knew that Zu Ti was not easy to mess with, and he had already had an opinion on Wang Dun, but he didn't expect Zu Ti's temper to be so violent. Fortunately, Guo Shu has already become a member of Gao Fei's faction, and Gao Fei has already greeted Guo Shu, otherwise Guo Shu would really not be able to serve Zu Li.

When he heard Zu Ti say this, he smiled reluctantly, thinking that this matter could pass like this.

Unbeknownst to him, Zu Ti suddenly reined in the horse, and jumped off the horse as soon as he turned over, and before Guo Shu could react, Zu Ti had already walked into a shop on the side of the road.

Guo Shu hurriedly reined in the horse, jumped off the horse quickly, and followed in as fast as possible, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Zu Ti talking to a person in the store, only to hear Zu Ti ask: "Shop, today is not a festival, why are you outside the store with lights?" ”

Zu Ti was dressed in casual clothes, and the shopkeeper only thought he was a foreign tourist, so he said: "I don't know objectively, this is the festival of Wuchang City, and at this time of year, we will put up lights, because this day is the birthday of the general." ”

Zu Ti said: "Shopkeeper, is it an order from the General's Mansion that you put up lights?" ”

"How could the General's Mansion give such an order, it was the people in our city who organized it spontaneously in order to thank the General for his kindness." The shopkeeper replied.

This answer was obviously not what Zu Ti wanted, he frowned, and asked again: "Shopkeeper, there are no outsiders here, you tell me the truth, did someone teach you to say this?" ”

The shopkeeper wrinkled his eyebrows, looked at Zu Ti strangely, and said, "Guest officer, the question you asked is really strange, who would be idle and have nothing to say to me?" If you're all right, just leave, I'm still going to have business. ”

At this time, Guo Shu hurriedly walked over, came to Zu Ti's side, and whispered, "General Zu, let's go." ”

When the shopkeeper saw that Guo Shu was wearing armor and an iron helmet, he looked like a general, but in front of Zu Li, he still had to look humble, and he knew that Zu Li was not an ordinary person.

At this time, Zu Ti asked again: "Shopkeeper, I want to ask you, what do you think of the general in the hearts of the people in your city?" ”

"Guest officer, let me tell you this, if there is no general, there will be no prosperity in our Wuchang City."

Zu Ti got the answer he wanted, he turned around and left, but he was secretly thinking in his heart: "Yes, without Wang Dun, there would be no prosperous Wuchang City now." It can be seen that in the hearts of the common people, what can bring them benefits is what is loved. Wang Dun's merits cannot be denied, but even if he is indispensable, can he overstep the imperial power? ”

After that, Zu Ti didn't speak all the way, but used his sharp eyes to observe everything in Wuchang City. The business here is prosperous, the buildings are clustered, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, which is very different from the desolate scene in Jiangbei. The people in the south of the Yangtze River are more and more comfortable, but the people in the north of the Yangtze River are more and more chilled, and his ancestors want to go on a northern expedition to recover the old mountains and rivers, but the court refuses for various reasons. Even Wang Dun, who had a heavy army, was accustomed to a comfortable life in the south of the Yangtze River, and did not say a word about the Northern Expedition, but always thought about how to seek more benefits.

Comfort makes people degenerate, and the people of Wuchang City live too comfortably, they don't understand the situation in Jiangbei at all, and they only indulge in their own small world.

It seems that it is time for Wuchang City to need a turmoil, and even the entire Jiangnan needs a turmoil, a turmoil that is enough to deter the imperial court, and Wang Dun is the beginning of this turmoil......
