Wind and rain inside the city, rain outside the city. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Li Shimin sent Feiyunwei to join forces with the yamen of Guangliang Yamen to go to the palace together, preparing to arrest Wang Shiren, but he didn't want the group to rush to the palace after they arrived, except for Wang Shiren's family and servants, Wang Shiren had never seen any trace of Wang Shiren.
Wang Shiren has not yet been convicted, and Feiyunwei naturally cannot seal the royal mansion, so he can only send people to secretly watch outside the palace on the one hand, and send people back to report to Li Shimin.
However, everyone didn't know that at this time, Wang Shiren had already led a group of people to the city gate, and after transferring the gatekeepers for an excuse, he mixed out of the city and went straight to the newly established resettlement site for the victims.
In order to facilitate the soup kitchen, the Yamen placed a gong in the area of the soup soup in the resettlement site, and the gong would be sounded at the time of each meal so that all the victims could come to receive the porridge in time.
This was originally a good thing, but at this time, it became Wang Shiren's accomplice in inciting the victims to make trouble.
With the help of the dog's legs, the short and chubby Wang Shiren occupied the position of the gong, and let his subordinates ring the gong, and the sound of the gong spread throughout the four fields over and over again.
It was already noon, because the granary was burned, and the soup kitchens had not yet received the food to cook the porridge, and all the victims were waiting for it.
However, when they went to the soup kitchen, they found that there was no porridge to give at all, and for a while, all the victims were a little dissatisfied, and they were talking about everything below.
At this moment, several heads suddenly appeared in the flow of people, and the owners of these heads were wearing tattered old clothes that matched the identity of the victims, the only difference was that the skin of these people was very fair, like people who were used to living a comfortable life, but not like the victims who lived a life of displacement.
After these heads popped up, one of them shouted and suddenly said, "Soup porridge, why don't you give porridge, do you want to starve people to death?" ā
Another chimed in: "Well, don't you treat us victims as human beings?" ā
Driven by these two people, the victims gradually had some emotions, but the comfortable life of these few days still allowed the victims to retain the last trace of sanity.
But at this time, suddenly another person pretended to discuss with the victims around him in a seemingly non-existent voice: "Hey, brother, I just heard that a rich son in the city has been kidnapped, and now all the power of the yamen is focused on helping those rich people find their sons, where can anyone remember us poor people?" ā
"Really?" The others replied with some doubt.
The man was anxious, "Of course it's true, otherwise why don't you have porridge pies yet?" ā
After listening to his words, the victims looked at the empty porridge shack, and couldn't help believing a little in their hearts, and asked the man for advice.
The man thought for a moment, and "finally" came up with an idea.
"Everyone, a few days ago, I heard that Master Chen, who was administering medicine, inadvertently mentioned one thing, saying that the imperial court sent a Lord Qincha, who happened to come to Guangliang, if we shouted in unison and spread our will into the city and to the ears of Lord Qincha, then not to mention eating gruel, even rice would have to be eaten." The man shook his head and said very proudly.
There was once a celebrity in history who once said that the common people are the best people to get along with, as long as they can be fed, then they will not hear anything.
However, the celebrity missed a sentence that if the people were not fed, the consequences would be very serious.
The man's words immediately touched the simple victims, and the fragrant rice was more attractive to them than anything at this moment.
So, under the stirring of well-intentioned people, the victims began to petition the heavens, and they all shouted loudly: "Give porridge!" Soup kitchen! We asked for rice, rice ......"
One voice is very weak, but if there are thousands of people shouting the same content, the power is absolutely deafening, which is why Chen Fang, who is in the prison, can hear the noise outside the prison.
After Wang Shiren, who was standing in the porridge shed, saw this scene, he showed a smile similar to that of success.
Seeing that the emotions of the victims were getting higher and higher, Wang Shiren knew that it was time to take action himself.
I saw him pinching two mustaches and appearing in front of the people step by step.
"Guys, listen to me." He made a quiet gesture and said.
Looking at Wang Shiren, who suddenly appeared in front of them, the victims were a little stunned, and couldn't help but quiet down and stared at him curiously.
"Everyone, in Xia Wang Shiren, he is the master of Guangliang County."
As soon as these words came out, the victims immediately reacted, and they shouted and scolded, seeing that everyone's opinions on the yamen were so big, Wang Shiren was very happy, but he showed a calm face.
I saw that he beckoned again, signaling the victims to be quiet again, but the victims were still shouting words such as "release grain, soup porridge", but fortunately, his subordinates in the crowd arranged for him to relieve him in time.
"Don't worry, everyone, listen to what he has to say, if he can't put a good bird out of his mouth, we will not let him go."
"Yes, let him talk about it, and see what else he has to say."
With the support of his subordinates one by one, the victims finally gave Wang Shiren a chance to calm down.
Seeing that everyone was quiet, Wang Shiren immediately put on a distressed expression, pulled the boar's throat, and shouted: "Folks, I'm ashamed of you, when the disaster broke out a few days ago, the county order of this county happened to be not in the city, and all relief matters were implemented and handled by this official." So these days, disaster relief has been going on in an orderly manner. But since the county ordered the lord to return to the city two days ago, she stripped me of my right to disaster relief and took everything over. ā
"Originally, I thought that my lord would carry out everything according to the disaster relief plan that my lord had set up before, but I never thought that yesterday my lord learned from other colleagues that in order to appease the people in the city, my lord decided to stop distributing food and stop giving porridge from today. After hearing the news, the official immediately went to the county order and wanted to fight for everyone, but he didn't want to be an adult, but he refused on the grounds that the victims outside the city were not the people of the county. ā
Having said this, Wang Shiren wiped a handful of tears that were about to come out and was heartbroken, and then said with a loud voice: "But this official thinks that the people of the world are all the people of my Tang Dynasty, and they should not be separated from each other, everyone is right." ā
Hearing Wang Shiren say this, everyone thinks that Tang Yun is the dog official who does not do personnel in Wang Shiren's mouth, and at this moment listened to Wang Shiren's stirring, they all echoed in unison: "Yes, we are all people of the Tang Dynasty, and we should not divide each other!" ā
The victims shouted over and over again, and their voices were so loud that the pores of Wang Shiren's whole body were stretched out.
At this time, another person who had been arranged by Wang Shiren spoke in advance. "Then Lord Wang, what are we doing now, there is no food in this city, are we all going to starve to death?"
Hearing this, Wang Shiren looked distressed again: "Everyone, you and I are both people of the Tang Dynasty, how can this official watch you being starved to death?" ā
"But now that there is no food in the city, what else can we do?" That's what a worried victim asked.
Wang Shiren pondered for a moment and sighed: "This matter has already been decided in the official's heart, but this is too dangerous, and the official doesn't know whether to use it?" ā
"My lord, compared to life, we are willing to take risks." One of the chess pieces said.
Wang Shiren straightened his face and said resolutely: "Okay, since you are willing to take risks, then the official has fought to lose his official position and fight for his life, and he must win a ration for everyone." ā
"Good!"
When the victims in the audience heard this, they all applauded.
Wang Shiren made another silent gesture, and after a round of brainwashing, the victims already trusted Wang Shiren, and immediately quieted down.
"Everyone, I took the opportunity to sneak out of the city this time, and I already have a plan in mind, but this plan needs everyone's cooperation. I will send a signal to my colleagues in the city to open the city gate, and then everyone can enter the city with the official to petition, and ask the adults to be kind and release the grain, but the official hopes that after everyone enters the city, they must not break around, so as not to disturb the people in the city and anger the county commander, I don't know if you can cooperate with the official? ā
As soon as they heard that there was a way to raise rations, everyone agreed to it, and seeing this, Wang Shiren's heart was like a flower, and he was very happy. However, he usually continued to worry about the country and the people, bowed his hand to all the victims, and said loudly: "In this way, please come with this official and go with this official to ask for food." ā
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and turned around and walked in the direction of the city gate. Seeing this, the victims shouted "begging for food" and "begging for food", followed in Wang Shiren's footsteps, and the wave of chanting overshadowed wave after wave and soared into the sky.
"Strange, the sound seems to be coming from outside the city, it's too bad, the granary has been burned, and there is no soup soup today, so it's hard that the victims outside the city have a different voice?"
Tang Yun, who was in the prison, heard the direction of the voice clearly, and couldn't help but worry, Chen Fang was also a little relieved, but thinking that Li Shimin would become a famous monarch in the future, I believed that he would be able to handle this matter, so he didn't take it too seriously, but whispered relief to Tang Yun, but neither the two of them nor Li Shimin and the others who were collecting evidence next door never thought that things would develop to the point where they couldn't control it.
At this time, Wang Shiren had already led people to the city gate.
Wang Shiren knocked on the city gate with three long and two short buttons, and the group entered the city like a swarm of bees and walked to the crowded streets.
At first, everyone was very peaceful, following Wang Shiren's footsteps, and walked in the direction of the yamen step by step. The people of the city were shocked when they saw the victims walking in the middle of the streets, but when they saw that they did not disturb themselves, they did not take it to heart.
Everything seems to be developing normally in the direction of petitioning for food, but when a dry victim exposed a steamed bun stall, everything changed in a reversal, and I don't know which one of the victims suddenly shouted, "Buns, there are buns, everyone grab buns." ā
I haven't eaten for half a day, and I can only eat half full, which will suddenly be so stirred, and another person rushed to the bun stall first, and the hungry victims couldn't control themselves anymore for a while.
Seeing this, Wang Shiren shouted, "Don't, don't." But the smug look on his face betrayed his heart, and it all went smoothly according to his plan.
People's hearts can't help but be tempted (confused) to see that someone grabbed the bun, and the hungry insects of others couldn't be controlled, and they rushed to the food stalls of the shops on both sides of the street, for fear that they would not be able to grab good things if they were one step late, and the people of Guangliang who were shopping were so frightened that they fled.
For a while, the whole scene was chaotic.
Since ancient times, riots have mostly killed people, and this one is no exception.
One side is desperately guarding their own interests of the people of Guangliang, and the other side is the victims who desperately want to keep themselves alive, the two sides are like the two sides of the soldiers wrestling on the battlefield, but the morale of the victims is like a lion of wolves and tigers, the number is dominating, and the people of Guangliang, who are weak and weak, are quickly pushed aside. An old man making noodle soup was first pushed to the ground by the victims, and then trampled under the feet of the victims who came to grab food.
However, these victims did not realize it, and after sweeping the stalls, they continued to take bloody steps, running away step by step.
With the spread of the scope of the riot, all parts of Guangliang City were scattered, and black smoke was even ignited in many places, and the situation was deteriorating step by step, but everyone did not notice that Wang Shiren did not know when he had disappeared and disappeared.
The turmoil of the victims spread everywhere and soon spread to the Yamen. When Li Shimin and others, who were collecting evidence in the prison, got the news, some of the victims had even seized the yamen, and Li Shimin originally wanted to break out to see what was going on, but when they walked to the door of the prison and saw a large number of victims wandering outside, Wei Chigong and others hurriedly stopped him.
He was a golden man, but no one dared to let him go on an adventure.
Fearing that their whereabouts would be discovered, they quietly retreated from the door of the prison and locked the door of the prison with chains to prevent other useful victims from breaking in.
