Chapter 16 The Officials Coerce the People to Rebel
When Wu Qing returned home, it was still early, Xu Xiaoying and Wang Xiu were playing in the backyard, and Aunt Wu and Aunt Xu went out to buy food. Since there was an ox cart, it has been much easier for Aunt Wu to go out. But it will take some time for that cow to produce milk. I looked around the front and back yards, and found that I was really bored, and I didn't dare to go to school, I didn't dare to wander the streets, and there was really nothing to play with those two little kids. As for Go, I can play two hands, but unfortunately my chess skills are not high, and no one plays with them. As for playing home or something, it doesn't seem to be very suitable for you.
Thinking about it, it's really boring, and suddenly remembered, why not make up some stories to make a little money and spend it, this era seems to be only what legendary books, folk vulgar literature has not appeared on a large scale, teahouse storytelling and other entertainment has not appeared, the most in this period is some Hu people in the wine shop Hu Niang dancing or something, compared to the richness of entertainment in later generations, it is simply incomparable. If you can really make a few copies, does that mean that the originator of vulgar literature is down!
After a period of obscenity, Wu Qing finally made up his mind that he wanted to be the most shameless, only more shameless!
What Wu Qing thought in his heart, he immediately started to do it, because there was really no entertainment in the Tang Dynasty, and it is said that the games played by the emperor were all mentally retarded games such as pitching pots, and the bigger entertainment was to watch dances and listen to songs, and cockfights and horse walks were also things that were hated by the scholars.
As for Keju polo or something, for the generation of ** silk who was once disappointed in the national football team, it must be practiced, and the Tang Dynasty people are very strong in this regard, even crazy, it is said that there are two polo fields and two Keju fields in Chang'an, and the state capitals are not the same, but every year the imperial court will hold a Keju and polo game to highlight the prosperity of the Tang Empire.
He took the four treasures of the study, pretended to study the ink, and then took the pen and wrote the four big characters of "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness" on the bamboo paper. This is a book that Wu Qing wants to plagiarize.,This book was once in junior high school.,Plus a TV series or something.,The memory is relatively deep.,Although it can't be plagiarized in the original.,But the general plot and content can be restored.。 It's just that the background of the story can only be placed in the previous dynasty, anyway, the Li family is defiling and smearing the previous dynasty to death, and they are not afraid that their "tanuki for the prince" has no source.
Of course, this novel still needs to be polished more, some bad things must be removed, and the main thing is to highlight the chivalrous tenderness in it, which is also something that ordinary people like to listen to and some chivalrous people like to read.
Of course, this novel can't be completed overnight, maybe it will take a few years to finish, because it uses a brush, and it can't be as fast as you want, but as long as you write it slowly, it will always succeed.
It took most of the time to have an idea, and Xu Xiaoying and Wang Xiu, who were tired of playing, finally stopped, and at this time, Aunt Wu and Aunt Xu had also come back and were cooking porridge and pancakes.
Originally, Wu Qing wanted to teach Xu Xiaoying and Wang Xiu some business methods in the future, but the two little children really didn't understand Wu Qing's mind, and Wu Qing completely lost interest after taking the school examination, so he had to wait until they grew up.
After lunch, the porridge tent was set up in front of the Wu family again, and the porridge bucket and bean cake were placed, this time there was no need to publicize, and soon the refugees were gathered, Wu Qing still let these refugees line up, of course, he did not forget to sell popsicles, and continued to promote the benefits of popsicles.
Half an hour later, suddenly a team of heavily armed servants rushed away from the refugees, stood in front of Wu Qing and others, and a catcher dressed in soap clothes quickly took out a piece of paper and read: "Ziben County investigated the Wu family's fornication bandits, and won fame with soup porridge, Wu Qing, the son of the Wu family, talked about rebellion in the school again, and the county ordered Zhang Yuan. Took! ”
In Wu Qing's momentary astonishment, several officials arrested Wu Qing and Aunt Wu, smashed the porridge bucket by the way, overturned the basket, and for a time the rice porridge splashed everywhere, the bean cakes were scattered, and the refugees' eyes showed unbearable.
Wu Qing shouted: "The Zhang family bullied people and deliberately raised the price of rice, the county commander is a parent official but does not open a righteous warehouse for relief, my Wu family is grateful for the suffering of the people, and the soup is not reciprocated, but I don't want Zhang County to make a personal vendetta."
The official quickly plugged Wu Qing's mouth with a rag, and then pushed Wu Qing and Aunt Wu towards the county office. Many beggars snatched the bean cakes, devoured them, and some even scraped a layer of rice porridge and mud soup on the ground with broken bowls, and ate them with relish.
I don't know who shouted, "Brothers, sisters, we fled here, originally thought that the court and the government would give us a way to live here, but I didn't expect that the government not only did not open the righteous warehouse, but also united with profiteers to raise the price of rice, and the benefactor of the martial arts family gave grace and porridge, but I didn't want to be framed, and now I am in the prison of the dog official, and I don't know if there is a way to live." ”
"Since everyone has no way to live, it's better to do the opposite!"
"It's the other way around!"
"Fuck it, kill the dog officer!"
For a time, four or five hundred refugees were excited and began to take action. A beggar hurriedly united several men and galloped out of the city. Because outside Wenshui County, there are still tens of thousands of refugees.
Soon, refugees poured into the city, almost smashing and looting everywhere they passed. The first to be attacked was the grain market, Zhang Ji Rice Store was directly smashed open, robbed of rice, killed the shopkeeper and his associates, and then the refugees began to storm the county government.
More and more refugees joined the rebellion and rushed towards the county office.
In the county office, the county commander Zhang Yuanzheng was in a hurry with a group of government officials, and he had already received the news that the refugees were gathering towards the county office. If this matter is known to the governor of Taiyuan Prefecture, his official fortune will also come to an end, and maybe his head will fall to the ground. Moreover, the imperial court's decree to let the local government give relief has already been issued, if it weren't for the Zhang family wanting to make more money, he would have ordered the opening of the warehouse to release grain.
"Report to your lordship, the rebels have gathered enough 100,000 people to surround the county government." A servant's report.
Zhang Yuan was instantly frightened into a cold sweat, how could there be so many, trembling and didn't know what to do, fortunately, the county king was a calm person, and immediately said: "The county order, at this time, the people's anger should be calmed, this matter is all because of the mother and son of the martial family, I think let them go first, and then the county order can go out to comfort them, and when the people's anger subsides, then go to the court, and say that the Yicang is short of food, and there are refugees making trouble." ”
Zhang Xianling seemed to grasp the life-saving straw, and hurriedly said: "This plan is very good, thanks to the county Cheng, you have come, let the mother and son of the martial arts family go, and so on, let them leave the county and not come back!" ”
The county was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't help but despise Zhang County's approach in his heart.
However, the refugees have already stormed the county office, a group of shops were injured and disabled, surrendered early, and in less than a stick of incense, the county government was broken and completely occupied by the refugees. Several refugees opened the cell and released the criminals, but Wu Qing did not leave, and said sternly: "Since I have violated the laws of the imperial court, it should be dealt with by the imperial court. ”
The refugees had no choice but to let Wuqing's mother and son stay in the cell. Wuqing has the truth of Wuqing, no peasant rebellion in history has ever succeeded, or it has not lasted long, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, which was powerful in later generations, has not been completely wiped out after 13 years. If he was really rescued by the refugees, he would definitely be charged with rebellion in the future, and Wu Zetian would not hesitate to kill himself. This kind of thing must be done with caution!
The refugees completely occupied Wenshui County, Yicang was opened, and the rich families were robbed. The county commander who got out of the dog hole and fled in the chaos fled to Taiyuan City.
