Chapter 678: Understatement

Liang Yuan's singing and dancing are full of grace, and the wine is like a knife to relieve sorrow. I remember how happy the youth was, and the lights were lit up in the middle of the night.

The prosperity of Biandu in the Northern Song Dynasty can be glimpsed in Liu Zihui's poem "Remembering Fan Lou". Biandu at the time of the child, another late night in the capital of the Song Dynasty. Burst after burst, paragraph after paragraph, the sound of music coming from the mouths of the artists in the restaurant and teahouse, the laughter of the citizens, the tune of the silk and bamboo orchestra, and the sound of drinking freely, the entire Biandu City is a peaceful and prosperous world, singing and dancing.

The night market tile market in the area of Joshubashi in Tokyo is already very lively, but the more prosperous city of Shuqiaowa is the Mahang Street Night Market, which is dozens of miles long, and the street is full of shops and official houses, thus forming a new pattern of organic combination of fangxiang and market. The street lights are bright and bright, enough to illuminate the sky, and can reflect the dozens of miles of horse street as if it were daytime.

The night market along the entire street is crowded with cars and horses, and people can't stop. With a population of more than 1 million people, there are about 100,000 or more people who come here to visit the night market.

At this time, thousands of iron horsemen quickly galloped out of the military camp on the left side of the Biandu Imperial City, and rushed to the gate of the outer city of Biandu, and at the same time, countless soldiers with swords and guns began to rush towards each tile.

The world has been peaceful for a long time, and the Chengmen of Biandu rarely closes, but it is completely closed today.

The people of Biandu, who have not known soldiers for more than 100 years, have never seen such a posture, whether it is a court official or an ordinary person, they are all at home in a panic, trembling and not daring to move, especially those people who were originally playing and walking on the street have to return home as soon as possible, so as not to be implicated and affected.

Emperor Huizong is a good classmate who cherishes life, and after listening to the report of His Royal Highness General Xu and King Yun, he didn't want to transfer Yang Keshi's 5,000 Western Army and the elite of the Biandu Forbidden Army out, and tried his best to cooperate with the Imperial City Division to capture those Xixia Yuxiang hidden in the tiles, or Sanssouci Caves, or other shady places, and even ordered those who dared to resist to be killed.

In order to avoid startling the snake and alarming the remnants of the Western Xia Imperial City who were ambushed in Biandu, and to cover up the true purpose of this use of troops, Huizong Zhao Ji discussed with his son Zhao Kai, and gave an excuse for himself, which was to crack down on scoundrels and rectify public order in Biandu.

Unintentionally, the fake news given by Lotte made the excuse given by Zhao Ji exactly the same as Lotte's real purpose.

And Zhao Ji also needs to cover, the remnants of the Western Xia Dynasty came to assassinate him, this is definitely not a trivial matter, and it will even affect the morale of the army of the Great Song Dynasty, and affect the panic of the officials of the Great Song Dynasty about their own safety, so Huizong Zhao Ji will come up with such an excuse, of course, this move can also show his love for the people like a son and his determination to rectify the public security of Biandu.

In fact, the prosperity of Biandu is only one of the appearances, and the chaos under the prosperity is gradually beginning to emerge, Zhao Ji often goes out of the palace to go to Li Shishi and other tricks to have fun, and how do he not know the chaos that is appearing in Biandu at the moment, so this excuse is also very appropriate.

The elite of the Western Army itself is extremely combative, and under the leadership of the secret agents of the Biandu Imperial City Division, when they capture these forces hidden in the shadows of Biandu, they are like cutting through the chaos with a quick knife.

The scoundrels and ruffians in Biandu City, although many of them are in collusion with the officials, and there are many people who are outlaws, and they are even more disgraceful, but this time they are facing the most elite Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty, and they are the most arrogant, unreasonable and murderous Western Army.

General Xu came out from the arrogant and led the troops to the place where Lotte arrived.

Seeing that the male and female warts, old bustards, and turtle slave thugs here were escorted out, Lotte just said coldly: "How to get rid of things, how to wipe this ass, you don't need to be taught by this official!" ”

"Humble duty understands!" General Xu nodded hurriedly and sent a team of soldiers to escort Lotte and Lingzi home.

If you dare to lie about the military situation, General Xu naturally knows how to do the rest of the things, how to wipe this ass, you just need to find the corpses of a few Xixia people, anyway, now you have not hidden the vultures and have lost contact with your subordinates, and you don't know what your subordinates will do.

*******************

One night, the people of Biandu City trembled and did not sleep well, and the officials frowned, and even sighed, Biandu was at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and there were so many soldiers walking through the city last night, and even closed the gate of Biandu, these officials could not sleep at night, and even suspected that there were people with military power in Biandu who raised troops to rebel, intending to seek the Great Song Dynasty.

In view of the chaotic situation outside, no one dared to come out to inquire about any news, but their hearts were full of long and short sighs, if the Great Song Dynasty fell, how would they deal with their own people, whether to be loyal ministers of the Great Song Dynasty or to follow the trend, the officials were very uncertain.

Fortunately, the soldiers lasted for a few hours, and Biandu returned to its previous appearance again, but the street was much deserted, and seeing that the street had returned to tranquility, the officials of the Great Song Dynasty dared to send people out to inquire about the situation.

Originally, today was not the day of the early dynasty, and the military officials of the entire Biandu gathered in front of the Xuande Gate and asked to meet Zhao Ji of Huizong.

There was such a big disturbance last night, and Emperor Huizong had to summon these ministers, one is to appease the ministers, and the other is to appease the people of the world, so as not to make a big fuss about people with ulterior motives.

Today's court ginseng does not have to come, so the hundred officials do not need to follow any rules, only need to line up according to the official rank and grade to enter the vertical arch hall, so a series of complicated mattresses such as whipping, crossing the river, saluting and so on are all abandoned, and it seems that today's court participation action has been much more neat in the past.

It's just that there are really more people in today's court, one to three rank ministers, four to seven rank court members of the normal court, these are all teams within the regulations of the court staff, but there are obviously a lot more officials who come to the court today, and those who don't have to come only during the New Year's festival and the eight and nine grade officials who will appear in the Daqing Hall during the big ceremony are also in the court at this moment.

What happened yesterday, these ministers also didn't know the bottom, but seeing that the guards at the palace gate were still the former generals, and the people who came out to guide the hundred officials were still the former eunuchs, Liang Shicheng and Tan Zhi still appeared in the vertical arch hall, so that the hundred officials relaxed a little.

Lotte also appeared at this moment under the vertical arch palace, although Huizong gave him a vacation, but after yesterday's events, today Lotte also came to the hall without knowing it.

Xu Jiang obeyed Lotte's orders, it was just a dark matter, and even Xu Jiang still got Zhao Kai's orders to secretly monitor Lotte, so the relationship between the two could not be exposed, so on the surface, Xu Jiang was solely responsible for yesterday's incident, and Lotte had nothing to do with this matter.

Standing in a group of officials in their seventies and eighties wearing purple official robes and gray beards, Lotte is very different and unique, and even some stand out from the crowd, which makes the officials in crimson official robes behind him envious.

Officials like Lotte who wear purple official robes at this age, in fact, there are many in the Great Song Dynasty, of course, such officials are basically in-laws or royal family figures, but such characters are in the same column as the nobles, and although Lotte is also a new noble, but it is a noble with a position, and it is completely different from those who are just vain names.

It's too young, don't say it's those four- to six-grade officials who are still struggling in scarlet robes between forty and fifty years old, and the green-robed officials who are the same age as Lotte Standing in the back row, looking at Lotte's purple figure standing in a group of rickety bodies that look extremely straight, and sigh like this.

Promoted to the marquis of Sanpin, the night before yesterday slept almost a day and a night, last night and found the Lingzi, Lotte's interest is very high, a radiant appearance, but a group of courtiers because of last night's incident, the expression is very sluggish, here I only see Liang Shicheng as the former official into the palace, Huizong Zhao Ji is coming.

Zhao Ji walked into the main hall, his expression was very normal, seeing that Zhao Ji was fine, many people understood that it seemed that last night's worries were superfluous, and immediately swallowed many of the words he originally wanted to say back into his stomach, and the expression on his face also calmed down.

As long as everything in the court is running normally, don't ask about things that are not related to you, after all, there are too many demons in this dynasty now, and if you accidentally say the wrong thing, you will provoke which god to offend, it is Cai Jing Zhishi, and there are still many gods who cannot be moved.

So it's better to have more than less.

Ascend to the seat, salute, return to the position, the vertical arch hall will be quiet, silent, as if everyone is studying the quality of the floor tiles of the vertical arch hall, whether the firing process is exquisite, whether the placement is orderly.

Looking at the group of ministers and generals, Zhao Ji smiled and said: "I didn't expect that all Aiqing would be so diligent in their official duties today, and they would not come to see me on the day of the Great Dynasty!" ”

Seeing that no one spoke, Zhao Ji began to talk to himself: "In the past few years, there have been many cases of lost population, and there have been many illegal cases such as fraud and deception......

"Your Majesty thinks about the people, and the luck of the people of the Great Song Dynasty is also ......"

Huizong Zhao Ji's words had not yet fallen, and the sound of hundreds of officials clapping on the back was endless.

"Your Majesty, the chaos of Biandu is all wrong, and it is ......" After the voice of the hundred officials just fell, a purple-robed minister standing in front of Lotte was busy on the ground, and said: "Chen Shengzhang, bathing in the grace of heaven, is sorry for Kaifeng Yin, but neglected to govern, it is really worthy of Your Majesty's kindness......"

It turned out that he was Sheng Zhang, Lotte looked at this person's figure, but there was only one back, and he really couldn't see Sheng Zhang's face.

"Your Majesty!" At this time, a minister who was also a purple robe came out and said: "Under the rule of Biandu, there are no auspicious charms, Chen Liu's two counties, and there are more than 1.5 million people, and the floating population is also under 500,000 all year round, and Biandu can accommodate 2 million people in one city. ”

Huizong didn't want to reprimand more, but nodded and said, "Sheng Qing should be diligent in the future!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your innocence!" Sheng Zhang thanked him and got up, and said: "Your Majesty, Biandu has a large population, and the land can be described as an inch of land, so there are often poor people who have nothing to live in and live on the streets, in order to prevent the recurrence of this evil, Emperor Zhenzong of the Great Song Dynasty in the seventh year of Xianping, has issued a decree to 'ban the official field house of the inner and outer ministers', and the Emperor of the Renzong Dynasty has been in the seventh year of the Sheng, 'the edict of the current close ministers in addition to the residence, there is no place to buy a house in Beijing', but this wind has been repeatedly banned, and there are more new nobles to buy a house recently, and I regard the law of the Great Song Dynasty as nothing. ”

The first is to prohibit the official field of the inner and outer ministers. This means that neither the central government nor local officials can buy public housing; In addition to the residence, the current ministers of the edict did not have to buy a house in Beijing. This means that the current Beijing officials serving in Biandu can only own one house at most, and it is forbidden to buy a second house in Biandu.

What is Sheng Zhang's sudden move out of these two laws of Chen Sesame and Rotten Grain? And as he said, he said that he was a new nobleman who bought a house with a lot of profits, which was very profound.
