Chapter 1000: Sacrifice
readx;
Because of the surrender of Zhan Gong, he was able to quickly occupy Luoyang, which made this thousand-year-old capital not suffer much damage in the war, and now the war has passed for almost a month, Luoyang has quickly recovered from the panic in the war, the most important thing for ordinary people is to live at home, as for who the ruler is, it is not so important, the important thing is that there must be rice in the bowl, there is surplus grain in the tank, and it is good to earn money every day. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info As for the privileged class whose interests have been damaged and have fallen from a high position all of a sudden, the number must be too small, and in Luoyang City, which has a population of hundreds of people, it is almost negligible.
So when Li Qing appeared on the streets of Luoyang accompanied by the guards, he saw a busy scene, if it weren't for the fact that there would be a team of ironclad soldiers patrolling from time to time, it would be hard to believe that the city had just changed owners.
"You often wander outside, tell me, how do the people react to our entry into Luoyang?" Li Qing asked Tie Leopard.
Iron Leopard laughed, "Lord, that's naturally joyful, very welcome!" I heard that you have returned, my lord, and I have been praying day and night that you will enter the city quickly! ”
Li Qing glanced at him and said with a smile: "Iron Leopard, your kung fu is still far behind, in the minds of the people of Luoyang, I, Li Qing, am not a good thing, a traitor, a god-killer, an intruder, don't you say that I know it, do you need to cover it up?" ”
Iron Leopard smiled awkwardly, "That's the case, lord, when we first entered the city, the people of Luoyang were indeed very frightened and afraid, after all, they didn't know us, but since our army entered the city, Qiu has not committed any crimes, and the army has also helped those people who have lost their homes to rebuild their houses." The antipathy was already small when there were alms everywhere in the city, and besides, the lord ordered the granaries to be opened to supply food, and the grain delivery that had been cut off by the war was restored to normal, and the prices in the city were also calmed down. The large-scale entry of the army into the city has provided a great deal of employment, and we have paid according to the price, and we have never been in arrears, and the city is indeed very stable now. ”
Li Qing smiled: "It's about the same. After all, for the citizens of Luoyang, we are unfamiliar and unintelligible, and we can only start from bit by bit, starting from the things that the people are most concerned about, so that they can have food. There is something to do. Don't worry about running out of food and clothing tomorrow, after a long time, they will naturally forget the good of the previous dynasty, you know, but all the emperors, the rulers of the past dynasties are good. To get them to their hearts. It's going to be a long journey. ”
"The lord is wise, and the water drops are worn by stones. Sincerely, the gold and stone are open. I believe that it won't be long before the people here will know that the main guild is a hundred times wiser than the apocalypse, no, a thousand times! ”
Li Qing smiled and patted Iron Leopard's head, "Good boy, you still need to practice to make no traces, it's a little stiff now, but I still like it." ”
Iron Leopard laughed.
"How does it feel to lead troops to fight at a knife?" Li Qing asked.
"It is naturally a pleasure to lead troops to war." Iron Leopard Road.
"Okay, I'm going to transfer you to Chen Zeyue to lead the troops." Li Qingdao.
Iron Leopard was taken aback, "Lord, you don't want me anymore?" ”
Li Qing scolded with a smile: "What kind of is this?" What do you mean I don't want you anymore, but staying by my side for too long, it's not good for your future, putting you in the army of a knife is to let you go through a lot of training, I decided to set the capital of Dingzhou, but Luoyang is after all a thousand-year-old capital, the largest city in the Central Plains, so here we still have to gather heavy troops and strengthen management. I am ready to let Chen Zeyue serve as the supreme administrator of Luoyang, and you will go to his army to assist him in managing the military. ”
Iron Leopard nodded, "The last general understands. ”
Li Qing smiled slightly, "After I return to Dingzhou, King Zhou will also move to Luoyang to live." And Xinyi I will crown her as the princess of Luoyang, let her also move to Luoyang, and after marrying Tang Long in the future, she will live in Luoyang. ”
"There is a Great Zhou Temple here in Luoyang, and there is also a Great Chu Temple, let them take care of it in the future!"
Iron Leopard nodded, "My lord, after King Zhou comes back, let him live in this palace?" ”
Li Qing shook his head, "How is that possible?" King Zhou, I will make him Zhou Hou, and give him the former Xiangping Hou Mansion to live in, but this huge palace building, I have another use. ”
Iron Leopard smiled and asked, "Are you going to use him as your palace?" ”
"Isn't that a waste?" Li Qing said with a smile: "I plan to make him a museum and a park, so that Luoyang locals and people who come to Luoyang from outside can go in and have a look, to see the royal life, the royal living, the royal garden, of course, this is to collect money." Iron Leopard, you say, is a ticket expensive for a tael of silver? ”
The iron leopard stammered: "Lord, do you let the people enter and leave this royal land at will?" ”
"Why not? The common people have always felt that the emperor is very mysterious, and when they come in and take a look, they feel that it is not a big deal, and there is still a lot of silver to collect. ”
Iron Leopard smiled: "If that's the case, don't say it's one tael of silver, it's ten taels of silver, I'm afraid that there will be people who want to come in and take a look and open their eyes." ”
On the street in front, there was a crowd of people, and suddenly there was a sound of mourning music from a house, and from time to time, there were soldiers in long robes and scarves hurrying forward, with sad faces on their faces.
"Lord, there are too many people in front, let's change places!" Iron Leopard Road.
Li Qingqi said: "Who died here?" Why are they all readers, huh? He looked up at the surrounding corners, and suddenly a familiar feeling arose in his heart, "Iron Leopard, send someone to ask, is it the Lin Mansion who is doing the funeral in front?" ”
Iron Leopard was stunned, there was only one Lin Mansion in the entire Luoyang that could be remembered by Li Qing, he nodded, stretched out his hand to summon a guard, and whispered a few words, and the guard turned around and squeezed over with the soldiers who were rushing in that direction.
Standing under a big tree, Li Qing looked at the surging crowd, and couldn't help but recall the scene when he came with a breeze late at night.
After a while, the guard hurriedly turned back, "Lord, it's the Lin family, the old man of the Lin family passed away this morning." These gentlemen have come to mourn. ”
Li Qing was silent for a moment, that old stubborn, he shook his head, but he didn't expect to die at this time. "Iron Leopard, when you go back, give Qingfeng a letter and tell him the news."
Iron Leopard nodded. "Yes, my lord, but with the strength of the Supervision Yuan, I believe that this news is already on the way at this time." Although Qingfeng said that he broke with the Lin Mansion, it must be for the Lin Mansion. Nor will it be indifferent.
Li Qing glared at him, "What do you want to say?" ”
Iron Leopard immediately lowered his head.
Li Qing, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped again, "How can I say that I am also a junior, although this old man is stubborn, but in the end he is the grandfather of Qingfeng Jiyue." It is the prince of An Min. Let's go, I'll go and pay a respect. ”
Iron Leopard was shocked, "Lord, there are too many people there, and it's too complicated, even if you want to go." I'll have to wait until I've mobilized all the guards before I can go. You have to inform them first, so you can break in. I'm afraid I'm going to frighten them. ”
Li Qing snorted coldly: "What if there are too many people, what can these powerless scholars do to us?" Let's go! "Just take a step without question.
Beads of sweat appeared on the iron leopard's head, and he quickly called a guard to whisper a few words, and watched the guard go away in a smoke, so he quickly ran a few steps and caught up with Li Qing.
Several powerful men squeezed through the surging crowd and escorted Li Qing to the front, these people were all good in the army, extremely athletic, and they forcibly opened a way in the crowd, of course, they also summoned a lot of curses.
Finally squeezed to the front of the gate, looking up at the two big characters of Lin Mansion, Li Qing couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and in a flash, ten years had passed.
"These guests, please stay, this is to entertain the old man's friends and all the powerful people, there is really no place left!" Old Man Lin is the leader of the Qingliu and the power of Confucianism, and when he died, he naturally brought together celebrities from all over the world.
The iron leopard took a step forward and whispered a few words in the ear of the steward dressed in filial piety, the steward's face couldn't help but turn pale, and he glanced at Li Qing, who was still looking at the two words of Lin Mansion in a daze, with a look of fear on his face, "I, I'll go to report immediately, the head of the family, the head of the family will come out to greet him immediately!" ”
Li Qing waved his hand, "No need, I'll go in!" He raised his leg and stepped into the gate of the Lin Mansion, ten years ago, he tried his best, but he finally did not let Qingfeng step into this gate.
The guards lined up in two rows, unceremoniously pulling out the crowd in front of them one by one, escorting Li Qing towards the mourning hall.
"Oh my God, it's Li Dashuai!" There was no shortage of well-informed people in the courtyard, and there were even some officials from the former Great Chu, who couldn't help but cry out in horror when they saw Li Qing appear.
In the courtyard where there was originally a mourning, the mourning hall was silent for a moment.
Li Qing walked to the front of the mourning hall, looked at the huge coffin, and Lin Haitao, who was kneeling on the ground and was full of filial piety, raised his eyes to look at Li Qing, and the whole person was stupid.
Iron Leopard handed Li Qing a pillar of incense.
Holding incense in his hand, Li Qing walked to the spiritual position, turned his hands over his head, waved towards the spiritual position, and inserted the incense into the incense burner, "It's a pity, it's a pity!" Li Qing's unclear meaning is a pity, but these three words made all the Lin clan people in the mourning hall frightened and shocked.
Outsiders may not know, but the Lin Mansion itself knows about the grievances and entanglements between them and Li Qing.
"Filial piety and filial piety!" I don't know if I was scared or what, the master of ceremonies suddenly said in a voice that had changed his tone. It startled everyone inside and outside the house and woke up from their sluggishness.
Who's coming? That was Dingzhou Li Dashuai, the ruler of this continent and the new emperor soon after.
There was a sound of kneeling on the ground, and everyone touched the ground with their heads, not daring to raise their heads.
"Thank you, thank you!" Lin Haitao kowtowed again and again, his voice whimpered, speaking of which, the person in front of him should be his son-in-law, but now, how awkward and awkward the relationship between them is.
Li Qing picked up Lin Haitao and said in a low voice: "The past is over, the old man has gone, if you are willing to go to Dingzhou, move to Dingzhou, Yunxi Yunrong misses you very much, and An Min is almost ten years old, and he hasn't seen his grandfather yet!" ”
The sound of horses' hooves and the shouts of soldiers sounded outside, and it was obvious that the guards who got the news rushed over, Li Qing nodded at Lin Haitao, turned around and walked out.
