Chapter 32: Jibei Yellow Cloud is full of sorrow Nine
That day was the autumn of the first year of Changqing. The autumn wind is tight, the autumn mood is very strong, and the autumn leaves fall into piles.
The crisp autumn season is the season of galloping horses, especially in Youzhou.
At this moment, a horse was sweeping through the streets of Youzhou, like the wind.
Not far around the corner, Wei Yong and his leading guards were scurrying down the street.
Neither of them saw each other.
Wei Yong and his leading guards swaggered to the crossroads, only to suddenly notice the horses flying in the air.
In an instant, in an instant, everyone was stunned. In their view, a tragedy, a tragedy of the horse joint venture, will inevitably be tragic.
The tragedy did not take place, because the cooperation between the rider and the horse had reached the highest level of legend: the unity of man and horse.
It was very late, it was very fast, and at that moment, in a flash of lightning, the rider lifted the reins, and the horse's front hooves leaped high and made a perfect arc in the air, while the hind hooves were nailed to the ground without moving. It wasn't until the soldiers in danger scattered that the horse's front hooves hit the ground hard.
From beginning to end, the rider is like growing on horseback, not to mention that the butt never leaves the saddle, and there is not even a single superfluous movement.
Silence, silence all around.
A moment later, applause, cheers, and cheers thundered.
Wei Yong, who was frightened, turned pale, and angrily ordered his subordinates to take down the perpetrator, immediately.
The perpetrator was a small soldier in Youzhou, who knew that he had caused a big disaster, and without the slightest struggle and resistance, he let Wei Yong's men tie him into a zongzi and press him down in the dirt.
Although the onlookers felt sorry, they were helpless. After all, it is not a trivial matter to collide with the judge of the festival, and punishment is inevitable.
Two fierce gods, holding basswood sticks, stood in front of the perpetrators.
It seems that Wei Yong is going to be tortured in the street, and it is a rod punishment.
In Chang'an, cane punishment was popular. However, in Youzhou, the cane punishment is an indescribable pain. Because, back then, the former Jiedu envoy Mr. Liu used the rod to execute his brother and his own brother. Since then, Mr. Liu, who is ashamed of the gods, has had a fear and disgust for the cane punishment that cannot be declared. The entire Youzhou was also punished with canes because of it.
Onlookers began to whisper. Youzhou likes horses, likes the feeling of galloping, and worships heroes with superb equestrian skills. The Youzhou soldier who caused the accident won the love and reverence of onlookers with his superior horse control skills. They can't bear to see the heroes in their hearts, not only to be tortured in the street, but also to be humiliated in the street.
Soon, several Youzhou generals who rushed to hear the news walked in front of Wei Yong and pleaded for the perpetrator. They told Wei Yong that Youzhou hated cane punishment and hoped that he would be punished in another way.
The plea did not have the slightest effect. On the contrary, it also attracted Wei Yong's harsh rebuke and scolding. Wei Yong doesn't care about Youzhou, let alone the customs of Youzhou. The only thing he cares about is Chang'an. He still clearly remembers that in Chang'an, there is a story, a story about cane punishment, and a story that has become a beautiful story.
The protagonist of the story is Liu Gongqiu.
Liu Gongxuan is a literati, but he is a different literati. As a literati, he is not very good at poetry, but he writes well, not ordinarily good, but first-class good. At that time, there was probably only one person who could write better than him, and this person was none other than his younger brother, his own brother, Liu Gongquan.
However, this is not the point, the point is Liu Gongxuan's style of acting, which is quite characteristic of a military general. Back then, when Huaixi rebelled, as a civil official, Liu Gongxuan took the initiative to ask for help, and Wu Yuanji tossed a nervous breakdown. After this battle, Liu Gong's prestige spread far and wide, and he became a feared white-faced judge of Huaixi soldiers.
Soon, Liu Gongfeng was transferred back to Beijing, and his official fortune was prosperous, very prosperous.
When the story happened, Liu Gongxuan had just obtained an official position, a very high and powerful official position, and an official position that Han Yu had also gotten, Jing Zhaoyin.
Back then, Jia Island collided with the lead of Jingzhao Yin Hanyu, but it left a good story, a good story about elegance. Now, someone has also collided with the lead of Jingzhao Yin Liugong, and also left a beautiful talk, but it was a bit bloody.
There are three tyrants on the streets of Chang'an: the lieutenant envoy, the idle man and the Shence army. The envoy is the eunuch, the eunuch is the eunuch, and the eunuch is the man who has been cut off from the root of right and wrong. As for the reason why these people can run rampant on the streets of Chang'an and no one dares to provoke them, everyone on the earth knows it, so I won't talk about it. As for the idlers, in fact, they are scoundrels, and they have one life, but seven are not satisfied, eight are not angry, and one hundred and twenty are not ambiguous. If anyone provokes them, they will naturally be in constant trouble and annoyed. The master of the Shence Army is a eunuch, the master of the small eunuch is the big eunuch, and the master of the big eunuch is the emperor. If you provoke the Shence Army, the eunuch will be very unhappy. If the eunuch is not happy, the emperor is not at ease. The emperor is not at ease, and your life will definitely not be easy.
There are many smart people in Datang, and one of the characteristics of smart people is to protect themselves and not cause trouble. If trouble comes, you can also walk around. Therefore, if the three tyrants of Chang'an commit something, as long as it is not a big crime, the officials will often turn a blind eye and not let it go.
It was a young general of the Shence Army who collided with Liu Gongxuan, one of the three tyrants of Chang'an. Like others, Liu Gongxuan also has one eye open; Unlike others, Liu Gongqiu's other eye was also open, and it was bigger than the first eye. Therefore, despite the repeated dissuasion of his subordinates, Liu Gongqiu resolutely killed the young general of the Shence Army who hit the muzzle of the gun with a street stick.
This incident caused a sensation in Chang'an, and Liu Gongxuan became a man of the year in Chang'an again.
However, some people are worried: Liu Gongxuan, you have a big problem, you have a big problem.
Sure enough, this incident made the emperor very unhappy, very unhappy.
The emperor at that time was Li Chun, a generation of British lord Li Chun.
Afterwards, Li Chun asked Liu Gongxuan aggressively, how dare you kill the people of the Shence Army.
Long Yan is furious! But Liu Gongxuan was not flustered, not panicked at all, but replied calmly: That person, who was rampage on the street, insulted me by no means, but His Majesty's law. I killed him with a rod just to uphold the dignity of His Majesty's law, not to target the Divine Army.
Liu Gongyu's words are reasonable, neither humble nor arrogant, and there is no gap at all.
Li Chun was very helpless, so he had to ask stupidly: Since you killed it, why didn't you play?
Liu Gongqiu is very innocent: decision-making is my right; It's not my obligation. I only exercise what I have to do, and I will never overstep my bounds. Your Majesty, you should ask the ministers who should be played!
Things have evolved into the way they are now, and Li Chun is helpless. Liu Gongxuan escaped.
It seems that Liu Gongxuan is not not unintelligent, but, at some point, he does not want to be smart, as smart as most people.
This incident is boiling in Chang'an, and it can be said that it is a household name, and Wei Yong is also familiar with this allusion.
Back then, Liu Gong killed the general of the Shence Army with a cane, and the emperor couldn't do anything about him. Today, I'm just a small soldier in Youzhou, what's wrong?
"Pounce" and "pounce", the basswood stick flew up and down, opening the skin and flesh of the perpetrator, and blood splashed.
Psychologically satisfied, Wei Yong left, staggering away. With his intelligence and vision, of course, he would not see that the blood splashed everywhere had turned into flames, flames of anger.
Bundles of angry small flames flew into the hearts of every Youzhou soldier and lit firecrackers.
The mutiny was about to take place, in the middle of the night when there were no stars and no moon.
