Li Longji proclaimed himself emperor in the "Vientiane Shrine" in Luoyang, proclaimed himself the true son of heaven, and rebelled against Li Shouli, who was referred to as Chang'an by the world, as a pseudo-courtier. And named Yao Chong, Liu Youqiu, Jiang Jiao and others as ministers, and built three provinces and six ministries, so that the Chang'an court was called illegal by them.

But most of the local people don't admit it, for example, the people from the Luoyang Military Department took the letter of the military department to Zhichong Mansion to transfer troops, but that thing did not match the voucher in the hands of the Zhichong Commander, and Zhichong Mansion refused to hand over the troops in accordance with the law, and you didn't do anything you wanted. At this time, the military system of the government has been slowly declining, but it has not been completely banned, and there are still some soldiers in the Zhichong government. The Luoyang regime urgently needed to expand its strength, and naturally wanted government soldiers in many places east of the eastern capital. But in order to get these government soldiers, only by first overthrowing the local state government, and then removing the commander of the Zhichong Prefecture, and establishing a new official general school.

After the establishment of Li Longji's regime, he did not rush to conquer the local government that did not want to be controlled by Luoyang, and they first concentrated the Luoyang garrison and the armed forces after the Shi clan responded and besieged the Yellow River Dacang. As Cheng Qianli expected, the capture of the canal warehouse can not only solve military needs, but also make it impossible for most of the grain to be transported to Beijing east of Tongguan.

At the same time, they also sent small envoys and secret envoys to try to contact the Tong Pass guards, trying to plot the most important barrier of the Guannei Road, the gateway to the key of the three passes.

The most obvious impact of various news coming to Chang'an from the west was that the prices of necessities such as grain and salt began to rise. The people in the market didn't understand what the situation was and began to rush to buy money, and there were a lot of people who followed the trend, and they followed everyone when they saw it. The big families living in the city basically have farmland outside the city, and they can be almost self-sufficient in grain, but they don't worry about not being able to buy grain, but they can't make salt, so they start grabbing salt.

The salt of many shops in the eastern and western cities of Chang'an was inexplicably snapped up, and some merchants realized the business opportunity and took the opportunity to raise the salt several times to more than ten times. Even so, many people could not buy salt with silk (textiles could be used as currency...... This matter is also quite nonsense, Li Longji's incident in the Eastern Capital and the price of salt, two things that have nothing to do with each other are actually involved.

Cui Riyong, who was still in Chang'an, came back from Yamen one day, and saw half a room full of salt at home, and immediately became furious, and found his wife Jia Shi and asked her how long and what year and month she would eat when she got so much salt?

Jia said: "Everyone said that they would not be able to buy it with money in two days, and Steward Liang said that he wanted to save more salt in the silver, so I did not object." ”

Cui Riyong frowned and said, "Everyone says that mud can be eaten as food, and you also eat mud?!" He looked left and right and whispered, "You don't want to avenge our Mo'er?" Buy so much salt and plan to stay in Chang'an for ten or eight years? ”

Jia Shi was speechless for a moment.

Cui Riyong asked her to go inside together, while explaining: "Pack up the soft in the evening, don't have too many things, let's go out of the city early tomorrow morning." ”

"Go...... Where to go? Jia Shi felt very sudden.

Cui Riyong glared and said, "Where else can I go?" Go back to Henan and do great things with San Lang! ”

Cui Riyong has already made up his mind after thinking about it for a long time, and only by following Li Longji can he have a way out! Wang Shaoyin, who returned to Jingzhao Mansion last time, leaked the inside story of Cui Mo's case, and this person was unpredictable, so he was afraid that Xue Chongxun would not stop doing it...... Cui Riyong felt that instead of putting his fate in the hands of others, it was better to let go and forget it with Li Longji.

At this time, Jia Shi asked, "Do you want to inform the people from the Jia family?" ”

"Don't leak the news for the time being, let's go back first, so as not to have too many dreams at night."

The two of them didn't sleep well that night, Jia Shi packed a lot of things, all of which were very valuable, she was reluctant to leave them, and as soon as the master left, the people in the house were not allowed to steal everything secretly? On the contrary, Cui Riyong was very neat, so he brought two clothes to change clothes, and then took a sword, even if it was packed.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Cui Ri used it to see that Jia Shi had made a large box in the room, which was full, and he suddenly said angrily: "Who will move such a box?" ”

Jia Shi said: "Isn't there someone in the house?" ”

Cui Riyong scolded: "Woman's opinion! Do you think we are returning to our hometown? In today's situation, the more people you bring, the easier it is to be discovered, just take He San and their father and son to take care of on the road, don't say anything else, they will go out after a while, and they will go out of the city as soon as the city gate is opened! As he spoke, he picked up a bottle from the box and threw it on the ground, which suddenly cracked.

Seeing this, Jia Shi stretched out his hand to protect it, and said painfully: "This bottle is worth two thousand silks!" ”

"It's all lost! Do you have gold jewelry, bring it, and you don't want any silver! Cui Riyong said angrily, "Didn't I buy you a lot of gold jewelry before?" Bring those things with you, you are so busy that the sun has risen, alas, you can't let me save a snack? ”

After tinkering for a while, Cui Riyong called the two henchmen and servants, and finally took the soft from the back door to the Yanxing Gate in the east of Chang'an. Halfway down the road, I heard the rumbling drums, and the gates were open, so it would have been better to get up earlier...... But it's not too late, the streets are still dark, and the sky hasn't let go yet.

Cui's Mansion is in the north of Chang'an, and it was originally much closer to the Chunming Gate from the east to the city, because the Chunming Gate is next to the north of Xingqingfang; And Yanxing Gate is in the south, a long way away. But Xingqingfang now lives the two sons of Princess Taiping, the martial brothers, and Cui Riyong, who is full of people, is afraid that he will be recognized by acquaintances, so he would rather take a detour to Yanxing Gate.

Cui Riyong had an official body, no one stopped him from going anywhere, and he walked out of the city gate very smoothly, he didn't feel a long sigh of relief, and shouted to the slave to whip and hurry.

At this moment, the carriage did not speed up, but stopped, and Cui Riyong scolded: "Hurry up, why do you stop?" ”

The slave's voice was a little strange: "Ah Lang can see for himself......"

When Cui Ri stretched out his head to look at it with a curtain, he was suddenly taken aback, only to see seven or eight big men on horseback standing in the middle of the road, and the person in the middle was Xue Chongxun!

Xue Chongxun saw Cui Riyong sticking out his head, so he hugged his fists on the horse and said, "Early in the morning, where is Cui Shilang going?" ”

Cui Riyong's cold sweat directly wet his clothes, and he calmed down and said: "Recently, the government has been nervous, and the old man went to Yongye Tian to see the business." ”

Xue Chongxun said coldly: "Recently, there are so many official affairs to be done in Beijing, Cui Shilang has the heart to take care of his own one-third of an acre?" Today is not a New Year's holiday, don't you need to be on duty in the yamen?

His tone was not good, and Cui Riyong also lowered his face: "These things shouldn't be asked by the king of Hedong?" ”

Xue Chongxun was too lazy to talk nonsense, and immediately said: "I think you took the fine soft and wanted to go back to Henan Province to rebel with Li Sanlang, right?" ”

When it came to the end, Cui Riyong's heart had fallen into the ice cellar, but he would not admit it until the last moment, "King Hedong, you can eat as much as you want, and you can't talk nonsense!" What do you mean? Bloody mouth! ”

"Just check your luggage and know that it is impossible to bring a lot of belongings when you go to see Zhuangtian or visit relatives and friends." Xue Chongxun snorted, "Come on, search for me!" ”

Cui Riyong hurriedly said: "King Hedong, don't forget, the old man is a dignified Tang Huangmen waiter, who has the right to search the old man's body?" What do you want! ”

Xue Chongxun waved his hand and said, "I have the right." Cui Riyong scolded: "The old man is still the Tang Dynasty Huangmen squire, what power do you have, why?" Xue Chongxun said coldly: "With the fact that I am seven or eight young and strong now, you can't resist." ”

All the men rushed up, drove the groom down, and then opened the car door and roughly pulled Cui Riyong down, and then went to pull his inner family Jia Shi. Seeing this, Cui Riyong scolded angrily: "The old man will definitely write a letter of impeachment, lawlessness, except for today's decree, who can search Cui's car, light and thin female dependents?" ”

A strong man snatched a large wooden box from Jia's arms, and after opening it, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, only to see that it was full of gold, pearls, and gemstones. Fang Yuzhong took the box and presented it to Xue Chongxun, Xue Chongxun grabbed a large handful and stuffed it into Fang Yuzhong's arms: "Split it with everyone." ”

Jia Shi was stunned: "Why do you share our things, your king of Hedong is a bandit and robber?" She was stunned just now, and she had the courage to speak when she saw that her property was robbed like this, but when she spoke, Cui Riyong was already silent with her head down, looking at the current situation, it was useless to say anything.

Xue Chongxun said: "Fortunately, my people have their eyes on Cui Shilang, otherwise you will be released from Beijing and return to Henan, how powerful your Cui family is in the local area, isn't it adding firewood to Li Sanlang's fire?" ”

Cui Riyong said: "How do you like to say it, hand me over to Yu Shitai, I have nothing to say about how to convict." ”

Xue Chongxun groaned: "I just searched your belongings, but these jewels, gold and silver are your own things, and they can't be used as evidence, how can you be convicted?" Once it is made public, it will not be easy for Yushitai to treat you with trumped-up charges, otherwise it will not make people panic? It seems that I am the only one who will be the wicked person and keep you in custody for the rest of your life. ”

Cui Riyong glanced at the saber that was still in the car, Xue Chongxun followed his gaze, and couldn't help but smile: "What?" And use force in front of me? ”

Xue Chongxun is so tall that he is already very stressed to ride on a tall horse, and everyone who knows him in Beijing knows that he is a martial artist, and it is really useless for Cui Ri to play with him with knives and guns.

"Tie up!" As soon as Xue Chongxun gave the order, the Han people pounced on it, tied Cui Riyong and his wife and the two slaves to the carriage with a rope, and blocked their mouths. Then they turned around in the carriage and went to the city gate. At this moment, Cui Riyong is afraid that the only thing worth celebrating is to send his children out of Chang'an in advance, otherwise it will be difficult to live in this chaotic situation. Q
