Chapter 510: Desire to live and die with evil spirits
"Well, since that's the case, let's get through it for the next few days...... Hey, I remember that the cook was also hired, could it be that lunch is gone today? ”
"For lunch, the villain can still deal with a few burns, but the villain's skills are not very good."
"It's got it, when is it, you don't need to pay attention to the taste, you just need to cook it." When Yuan Highway said this, he suddenly burst out laughing: "Presumably it's not just the hired workers who are on strike, right?" ”
"I heard that all the workers and craftsmen are on strike, and besides, they want to go to Suzaku Street, please give an explanation."
"What, why didn't you say it earlier!" Yuan Highway jumped up with a grunt: "Prepare the car...... Ah, the coachman should have resigned...... I'll go, and I'll go to Suzaku Street right away! ”
"Doctor, ...... lunch"
"When is it, and what lunch is there?"
When Yuan Highway ran out of the mansion, he saw people everywhere on the streets of Chang'an City. Although his butler was a little out of tune, he also knew that there must be a lot of people on the street at this time, so he panted and brought a few people to accompany him.
Out of the square where I lived, when I arrived at the main street, Yuan Highway found that there were more people on the main street. People from all over the square gathered on the main street, forming a river of people, and they all gathered together on Suzaku Street.
"The people of the country rioted, the people of the country rioted!"
The things recorded in the history books appeared in Yuan Highway's mind, and when he thought of this word, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Ye Chang expected all this.
Even if Ye Chang and the Chamber of Commerce are secretly fueling the trouble, the people are not fools, and they will only stand up if they really threaten their interests.
They don't stand up, they are scattered in all corners of Chang'an City on weekdays, and people only know that there are many people in Chang'an, but they have no concept of what kind of Chang'an people are. Now it's different, when the Yuan Highway squeezed into Suzaku Street and saw the surging crowd of people, I realized what the word "crowd of people" really meant.
I'm afraid that hundreds of thousands of people will crowd over, and even if it was lively in the past, there would not be so many people gathering.
"Doctor, doctor, what's written on that?" A strong servant beside him struggled to stand on his feet, protecting him from being squeezed. The strong servant was very curious, and looked at many of the gathered people holding cloth strips, and asked curiously.
Yuan Highway had already seen it, and when he heard the servant ask, he couldn't help but be happy.
In the past, the people gathered to make a commotion, lest they would be detected by the government and settle accounts after the autumn, and they always hid their origins one by one. Today, it's strange that these people are holding signboards one by one, as if they are afraid that the court will not know their origins.
"Hei Cheng Ji Coal Workers Association - this is a coal mine opened by the descendants of Cheng Lu's family, right?"
"Chen Ji Silk Reeling Workers' Association."
"Juchanglong ......"
A large number of signboards of various industrial and mining companies are not like they are here to make trouble, but rather to party.
Yuan Highway knows very well what these signboards mean, representing the workers sent by various factories and mines. These workers may struggle to live in difficult and impoverished circumstances, but they can struggle to make a living, and there is a rush to the top. But if Li Li made it a patent law, they would have to work for the imperial court, which had only heard of looting on the grass people's heads, and had seen them give back to the grass people.
Nowadays, craftsmen do things for the imperial court, and everyone would rather pay for the help and hire someone to serve on their behalf than to be a craftsman, not to mention that after the industrial and mining mines are owned by the Son of Heaven, won't everyone become a "master craftsman"! No, it's not as good as a master, and a master can still find people who want to serve on behalf of him to get paid, but they have nowhere to ask for pay!
Of course, such a conclusion is the result of deliberate misleading people with intentions, in fact, no matter how stupid Li is, he will not dare not pay the workers. It's just that the wages he gives, after being peeled layer by layer, will be in question how much can reach the workers. Counting on the self-supervision of the bureaucracy controlled by the government is a big dream, and it is better for them to supervise others honestly.
As more and more people gathered, there were more and more signboards, and Yuan Highway looked at it with relish, what "Kou's Old Chen Vinegar Workers' Association", "Beijing Flour Association", and "Pingkangli Lichun Courtyard Daughters Shiya Gathering" all have, it is really inclusive of all industries - wait a minute, it seems that something strange has been mixed in, what does this matter have to do with those girls in Pingkangli's Teaching Workshop Division!
Yuan Highway still underestimated these tricks of the Teaching Workshop Division.
It is necessary to know that the more developed the commodity economy, the more developed the tertiary industry will be, although these tricks are reluctant to pick up those rough embryo men, but over the years, the rough embryo men have gradually had a few money in their hands, and the rich is the benefactor uncle, they naturally have to consider for the benefactor uncle.
Moreover, the teachers have always been spicy and bold, and they not only participated, but also squeezed to the front of the line.
"When it was time, the women of that generation, holding the banner, stood in front of the crowd. Jingzhao was a servant, stepped forward to scold, but criticized him and left in shame. And the wicked eagles and dogs came forward and beat them, so that their clothes were untidy, and their faces were full of blood. However, the other generation still did not retreat, bloody flags, shouting hard, sad and sad, moving the whole city. The people were angry, avenged it, and struck with stones and sticks, and the eagle dog retreated into the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion. The women said angrily: "This matter has come to this, my generation is humble, when the **** dies, death is death, must leave a reputation in the world, willing to be the first to break the door, attack Jingzhao, and die with the evil spirit'! Yan Yan stepped forward and wanted to break into the door, and the surrounding people also rushed to it, which was to break the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion. ”
After this day, Yuan Highway recorded what he saw in his notes, and he was not the only one who recorded the same scene. Therefore, after a few years, there are people who integrate Eastern and Western painting skills, read the history so far, the inspiration is opened, is to draw a painting, the first is a Tang Dynasty woman with half of her chest, holding a banner high in one hand, writing "Jiaofang Division" three big characters, the other hand holding a lance, stepping on the corpse of the eagle dog, shouting with a side face. Behind it, a newsboy holds a short crossbow in his hand, and he draws one by one. Behind him on the right, a merchant holds a spear, and another miner wears a military hat from the Tang Dynasty, indicating that he was a soldier who was conscripted into the army during the pacification of the An Lushan Rebellion. This painter named the painting "Teaching Workshop Division Guiding the People", which became a sensation. This is a matter for the future, so let's not mention it.
As seen by Yuan Highway, the Yin Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion was breached after a slight bloody conflict, and the reason why it was said to be slight was that except for the girls of the Teaching Workshop Division who were slightly injured, it was just that Yuan Zai's men were beaten to death by someone in the chaos.
After breaking down the door and entering, everyone first rushed to the place where the prisoners were detained, and released all the students of the Guozi Prison who were detained yesterday, as well as the heads of the chambers of commerce. After that, I don't know who shouted: "The Son of Heaven is the new king, he doesn't know the sufferings of the people, and everything he does is instigated by treacherous villains." This Yuan Zai, who temporarily signed Jingzhao, is the villain among the villains - since the yamen has been broken today, this villain should be captured to tell the world! ”
At this time, the crowd was raging, no character who could shock the scene came out, and the people's excess enthusiasm and energy were not vented, so they were provoked, and suddenly became popular, and everyone was full of yamen looking for Yuan Zai. It was only Yuan Zaifang who saw that the situation was not good, and ran away over the wall, and someone saw him fleeing in the direction of the palace, and immediately everyone rushed towards the palace.
The temples and temples of Chang'an are now also bells, and more and more people gather on the streets, and Suzaku Street is blocked. Everyone poured to the palace gate, and at this time, the forbidden army in front of the palace gate was lined up, one by one fully armed and murderous.
Yuan Zai fled into it, and before he could catch his breath, he shouted: "These Diao people are reversed, these Diao people are reversed, and they will be suppressed quickly!" ”
But no one in the Praetorian Army paid any attention to him.
Yuan Zai knew that he had no influence on the forbidden army, and the only one who could make the forbidden army do it was Emperor Li Li. When he ran into the palace, Li Li had already heard the news, and when he saw him, he split his head and covered his face and said, "Why did you make things like this!" ”
Yuan Zai was stunned.
In Li Li's view, things have come to this point, it should really be Yuan Zai's doing, just before yesterday, the situation was fine, his plan to seize power was very stable, but today it made hundreds of thousands of people crowd the streets, and all blame Yuan Zai for arresting those people in the country.
At this time, he completely forgot that Yuan Jae was the one who was arrested with his permission.
"Your Majesty, although the minister is incompetent, but he is loyal to His Majesty, this is Ye Chang's conspiracy, do you still remember Your Majesty, the people's newspaper actually scolded Your Majesty for being King Zhou Li, King Zhou Li has a riot, and now ...... Now it's a riot of the people! ”
Yuan Zai was still a little anxious, and seeing that Li Li deliberately threw him to calm the anger of the people, he knelt down and cried at the moment.
Li Li was stunned.
The Chinese riot, how he didn't know what to do, now think about it carefully, the current situation, it can really be said that the Chinese riot.
"Your Majesty, when you continue to break off, you will be blamed, if you don't be ruthless at this time, fight to break the net, Your Majesty will be imprisoned, even if you want to be exiled like King Zhou Li, you can't get it!" Yuan Zai said again.
In any case, he didn't want to be thrown out as a sacrifice, but he saw the fate of his cronies in the yamen. There were so many people outside, if he was really pushed out of the gang and used as a punching bag, he was afraid that he would be torn to pieces by the angry people in an instant.
"You say...... When is it good? Li Liqi was originally indecisive, but he was frightened by Yuan Zai at this time, so he forgot Fang Cai's plan and asked in a trembling voice.
"At an extraordinary time, since it is an extraordinary means, at this time, the rebels besieged the palace, alarmed the royal driver, and it was like chaos! What is the purpose of the imperial court to raise the forbidden army, isn't it to defend the Son of Heaven? Yuan Zai shouted: "Your Majesty should summon the generals of the forbidden army and order them to quell the chaos!" ”
Hearing the voices of people outside the palace, even through the palace, Li Li only felt that his throat was dry. He went through the An Lushan Rebellion, thinking that he had escaped by luck at that time, and he was facing this situation at this time, he finally made up his mind at the moment: "Forbidden army, yes, use the forbidden army...... An Yuanguang, where is An Yuanguang! ”
Today's General Longwu is no longer Chen Xuanli, but An Yuanguang. He was in the palace at this time, how could he not come to protect the palace with such a big movement. was summoned to Li Li's side, and when he heard that Li Li had calmed him down, he was surprised and said, "Your Majesty is serious? ”
"Yes, there are all chaotic people outside, An Yuanguang, as long as this chaos is calmed down, I will not hesitate to reward the lord, and it will be the king of the county, and it will not be a problem!"
An Yuanguang had a bitter face: "Your Majesty's Shengming, protecting Your Majesty's Majesty, was originally the duty of a minister, but the forbidden army in the palace all adds up to only a thousand, and there are hundreds of thousands of people outside...... Now that they are outside, they are just clamoring, and there has been no other movement, and the minister is only afraid that the minister will order a fight, which will anger them and storm the palace gate, and the consequences will be unimaginable! ”
"You...... Don't you know how to transfer troops, there are tens of thousands of forbidden troops in Chang'an City, you should send people to transfer them! ”
"It's good that Your Majesty doesn't say this, but if you say this...... To tell the truth, in the past few days, many forbidden soldiers have also resigned from their humble posts......"
An Yuanguang is not telling lies, in fact, many people surrounding the palace outside are the forbidden army who resigned.
Li Li only stared at official positions and financial power, but he never noticed that in recent years, with Liaodong Lushun Iron and Steel Plant as the core, a military interest group has been formed. And the forbidden army and the border armies of various towns have a lot to do with this military-industrial interest group. In the past five years, except for the An Lushan Rebellion, which thwarted the small temptation of foreign captives on the border at the beginning, the Datang frontier was generally relatively peaceful, but the entire military industry interest group still relied on Ye Chang's strategy of managing the frontier and reaped a lot of benefits.
Ye Chang's influence in the army can be proved just by looking at An Yuanguang's ability to catch up and climb to the position of General Longwu at a young age.
"An Yuanguang, are you an official for the Son of Heaven or an official for Ye Chang?" Hearing this, Yuan Zai was anxious, jumped out and pointed at An Yuanguang and scolded.
"I'll be an official for Datang, but I'm not going to be an official for you Yuanzai!" Although An Yuanguang is a martial artist, he is very witty, and sneered: "Hundreds of thousands of people outside accuse you of being treacherous, is it for no reason? ”
"General An, just say it directly, what do you want to do before you are willing to send troops to quell the foreign strife?" Li Li said with a glare.
"Your Majesty listens to Yuan Zai in everything, why don't you let Yuan Zai calm the chaos?" An Yuanguang sneered: "If the people really attack the palace, the ministers will protect His Majesty, but now that the people are outside the palace, how can the ministers do it?" The minister in front of him cut down the people, and in addition to Yuan Zai, the traitor in the back will have to add a minister! ”
He also let him go out of his way, and at this time, let him take the forbidden army to pacify the people, clearly to put him on the fire and roast him!
"What is the use of the state raising you?" Yuan Jae couldn't help but exclaim.
"It's useful to raise you, and in just a few months, you will stir up state affairs like this!"
Li Li trembled a few times, and he suddenly remembered Ma Weipo.
When Ma Weipo was at the beginning, the forbidden army shouted one after another, but Chen Xuanli refused to press it, for the reason that he was afraid that it was the same as An Yuanguang today. Li Longji's helplessness and desolation at the beginning, but now Li Li has also tasted it. It's just that Li Longji still had a Ye Chang to rely on at that time, and now, who can he rely on?
glanced back at Yuan Zai, and Yuan Zai was already bloodless.
"It's up to you to make trouble." Li Li suddenly felt disheartened, he still thought that he was very strong, but he never thought that when the matter came, he didn't even have anyone to rely on.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty's ......" Yuan Zai hurriedly followed.
Li Li took a few steps, suddenly stopped again, turned his face, and looked at An Yuanguang: "Anyway, Yuan Zai, I am Baoding!" ”
His tone was categorical, and there was no room for backing down.
An Yuanguang smiled bitterly: "The minister can only do his best, why don't your majesty summon hundreds of officials to discuss matters?" ”
