Chapter 383: Shimono finally knows that public opinion is expensive

"Count three times, let him leave the bridge, shoot him if he doesn't listen, and use the eight-bull crossbow" Dugu Xinci ordered, and the ranks of dignitaries and nobles on the other side of the bridge are getting more and more, and there are hundreds of people.

The captain of this battalion became excited, and personally ran to shout, "The captain is from the military stronghold of the guard, leave quickly, you must not go to the bridge, a certain number of three times, and those who do not leave will be killed."

"Bold, how can the Duke of Xu's Mansion be intimidated by Captain Ruyi" That person didn't believe that this group of Changcong Su Guards, who had just been in the army for less than a month, would dare to kill people in public, even if their general was the Demon Wolf Tianxing who had made the people of Chang'an shrink their heads.

"One"

"Two"

The lieutenant didn't care about counting them.

The head of the Xu Guogong Mansion on the bridge was smiling, and he looked back at the people behind him, and he was very proud of his bravery.

The captain of the "three" black flag guard shouted three words and waved his hand.

The princess of Xu Guo still had the heart to admire the admiring faces of the people behind her, and suddenly saw that the faces of those people had changed greatly, and she turned back in surprise, but she was pierced through the chest by a four-foot-long iron arrow, and the iron arrow took this person up in the air and took three steps before falling on the bridge.

The crowd on the other side of the bridge was in a commotion, and they all took a few steps back, away from the small bridge, which was only a dozen steps away.

"What? What are you doing? A voice sounded, and Song Jing, whose scarlet robe had turned gray, came over and shouted.

"Military land, idle people are not allowed to enter," the captain continued to shout, he no longer recognized the gray-faced person opposite as Song Jingshangshu, who was left behind in Chang'an.

"Ahem, Song Jing's Shangshu is not idle," Dugu Xinci coughed dryly.

"Well, Song Jing's book is not idle, you can come over" The captain also changed his words.

"Who told you to kill civilians without permission?" Song Jing asked on the bridge.

"Those who trespass on military places are regarded as rebellions, and they should be shot" Dugu Xinci had to answer in person, and the people behind Song Jing gathered more and more, and there were nearly 1,000 people.

"General Tianxing, I asked you to send troops into Chang'an City to quell the chaos, and return a peaceful peace" Song Jing no longer pursued it, but shouted, with a sad voice.

"Those who send troops without a soldier talisman are regarded as Yan Tang rebels, and a certain commander from the guards does not do the rebellion of Yan Tang and the saints, and they dare not send troops without a soldier talisman" Dugu Xinci also shouted loudly.

"There is power to do things, and in the hands of a certain is the military order of the military department, and all the violations of the law are borne by a certain Song and someone," Song Jing hissed, and a group of people behind him clamored and shouted one after another.

Dugu was silent and looked at it with a cold face.

"You once said that being an official is not for the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes, now Chang'an City is full of rebels, the lives of the residents of each square are miserable, you have a male soldier from the guard, when you enter the city to relieve the people in the upside down, but also hope that the general of Tianxing will send troops to think about the people"

"Soldier talisman, you bring the other half of the talisman, and a certain guarantee will send troops immediately," Dugu Xinci roared.

"This is a military order, the soldier will arrive later, you can save a thousand more people by sending troops a moment earlier," Song Jingshangshu's voice choked.

"I don't dare to send troops without soldiers" Dugu Xinci stopped entanglement, turned around and was about to leave, but saw that his black flag guard's face was shocked, and when he turned around again, Song Jingshangshu actually held the military order and prostrate on the ground.

This is the army that wants to be from the Su Wei and so?

Dugu Xinci Huo Ran turned around, took out his sword and thrust it into the ground, and drank: "Changcong Su Guards, a certain is Yan Tang's sword, the saint's guard, no military talisman is Tang Shu's order, Su Wei saint and Tang Ling are a certain vocation, a certain is a Tianxing general, there is no military charm and a certain order, and a long Su guard is not allowed to cross this bridge, if you want to go over, that is, step on a certain body."

After Dugu Xinci finished speaking, he stood with his sword in his sword, with his back to the black flag guard, facing Song Jingshangshu, but he smiled slightly, very confident.

There was a dead silence on both sides of the bridge, this Tianxing General was on the same page as Song Jingshangshu?

At this time, I heard a person shouting, "No, according to the general's order, whoever wants to cross the bridge needs to step on a certain body"

Everyone in the Black Flag Army saw that it was Zang Xiye, the commander of Guoyi.

"No, according to the general's order, whoever wants to cross the bridge needs to step on a certain body" In an instant, the three thousand Black Flag troops shouted in unison.

The sound shook all over the wilderness, covering the noise on the other side of the bridge.

Song Jingshangshu continued to crawl on the bridge deck, this was really kneeling and begging.

"Let's go to accompany Song Shangshu together" Someone called, so hundreds of people came to Song Jing and knelt down.

"Military strongholds, no idle people are allowed to enter," the captain of the Black Flag guard continued.

"Don't go up to the bridge" Song Jing straightened up and ordered the people behind him, but his knees still fell on the bridge deck.

So, on August 16 of the second year of the Yan Tang Dynasty, Song Jing, the secretary of the Imperial Ministry of Rites, led 10,000 people to kneel down and ask Dugu Xinci, the general of the Changcong Suwei Tianxing, to send troops to quell the chaos.

The thin Song Jing, with a scarlet robe and gray spots, but his body is as straight as an iron lance, and his gray and white hair is fluttering, like the willow silk in the Mid-Autumn Festival west wind, which seems to be weak, but it is tenacious and indestructible.

This is known as the incident of Baqiao Shangshu kneeling in the second year of Kaiyuan, a moment of divergent opinions.

On the north side of the bridge is the Tianxing General Dugu Xinci, who stands on the sword, dressed in bright armor, even in the dim sunlight, but at this time, he is like a demon possessed in front of the people who went out of the city from the Chunming Gate.

The three thousand black flag guards in the back are little ghosts, acting for the tiger.

Two or three miles later, there was also a flag fluttering, it was Qin Chong's army, which had already set up camp on the hill, but it was also all standing quietly, and did not advance half a step at all.

"The Queen Mother, that Dugu Xinci and Song Jing Shangshu are on the bar, Song Jing Shangshu led the people to kneel down to petition the Tianxing General, the Queen Mother is gracious, for the sake of the people of Chang'an, to persuade the Tianxing General to send troops, right?" Xiao Songshangshu appeared in front of the Empress Dowager in front of the Changcong Guard's tent at this moment.

"What? Song Jingshangshu knelt down to petition Tianxing? The Queen Mother was also stunned.

"It's true, Song Jingshangshu is thinking about the millions of people in Chang'an, and he can't let the heroic city of Chang'an be destroyed in one fell swoop, and he can't let General Tianxing be laughed at and scolded by millions of people?" Xiao Songshangshu was hoarse.

"Let's go, let's take a look," the Queen Mother got up.

"The Queen Mother can't go," Nalan Feiya also knelt down and pulled the sleeve of the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager Dugu paused and looked at Empress Nalan suspiciously.

"This is not asking the chief to send troops from the guard, this is to harm the stars, if the stars send troops, not only disobey the order, but also resist the order, the saint did not hand over the other half of the purple gold fish talisman of the long guards to the military department, it is to temper the stars, if the stars send troops, this group of so-called ministers will not only not keep the stars, but will also take the opportunity to disband the guards, this is the soldiers and horses that the stars have recruited for the saints with great effort, although the army is less than a month, but there are stars in the sky, he will become a strong army one day, the sixteen guards of the forbidden army can no longer be relied on as the pillar of Chang'an defense, The Chang'an military mutiny is an example, Tianxing said to a certain person, the Changcong Su Guard will be the last line of defense in Chang'an, Song Jingshangshu They are going to dismantle the last line of defense of Chang'an and Yan Tang" Empress Nalan said sonorously and looked solemn.

"How could Song Jing Shangshu break up the Changcong Su Guard? A certain class will be responsible for the Tianxing General" Xiao Song Shangshu defended himself.

"There is more than one army around Chang'an, right? Right Weiwei has just asked for 30,000 people from Tianxing, and General Yan Junluan is outside the Jinguang Gate, why don't you go to find her to send troops? Empress Nalan asked.

"Jinguangmen has been occupied by rebels," Xiao Song explained.

"Occupied by rebels? Where did the 5,000 right guards who guarded the prince come from? Or did they rebel too? Song Jingshangshu was in Kunming Pool two days ago, where the camp of Right Weiwei was located, you don't tell a certain that Song Jingshangshu didn't know about the rebels in advance, if he really didn't know, then he would be too incompetent in the prison country, he knew it three months ago, how many times did Tianxing warn you? You have turned a deaf ear, aren't you just waiting for this opportunity to use it to harm the stars? ”

Empress Nalan's words made Xiao Songshang speechless.

"If Tianxing does not send troops, it is the people who will be offended, even if the saint protects him afterwards, but everyone is golden, one day Tianxing will also become a scapegoat to appease the public opinion of Chang'an, if he sends troops, it is better, do not obey Tang orders, send troops without authorization, what is the difference with the rebels? You don't have to do it yourself, the saint will also put the celestial star in the prison, you are so calculating? The star has offended you, and you are going to calculate him like this? Unwilling to put it to death? Empress Nalan continued to grit her teeth and ask.

Xiao Songshangshu was suspicious, and he couldn't speak.

"Are you serious?" The Queen Mother asked Nalan Feiya.

"Two days ago, I was discussing with Yao Chongshaobao who is going to deal with whom this time? Song Jing knelt down, and finally knew that the last unlucky person to mutiniate in Chang'an City this time was Tianxing, a poor worm who wanted Yan Tang to become stronger" Nalan Feiya said with a gloomy voice.

"Yao Shaobao, you said that Song Jing really has this intention?" The Empress Dowager asked Yao Chong.

"It's not that I have this intention, it's that the matter has been formed, and I talked with the Marquis of Far East in detail on the eve of a certain night, and I thought that this time it was a saint who wanted to return to Beijing, and I needed to promote the emperor's grace, clean up the personnel of Chang'an, and knock on Song Shangshu and the military gate, and even the prince was calculated, but I didn't count Song Jing's kneeling, I am afraid that I will really kneel down a future prime minister of Yantang and leave" Yao Chong shook his head and sighed, his expression was quite gloomy.

"How dare Song Jingpifu do this?" The Queen Mother scolded.

"It can't be like this?" Xiao Song was also dumbfounded.

"Then you said that the saint's talisman is already on the way, Song Jing, he really can't wait for these hours?" Yao Chong sneered.

"Song Shangshu is to rescue the people of Chang'an as soon as possible," Xiao Song's defense this time even he didn't believe it.

"Song Jing has the left guard and the right guard in his hand, he doesn't go to find the left guard and the right guard, why is he entangled with the long cong guard who has been in the army for less than a month? I suspect that the 5,000 Youwei guards and horses were transferred into the city, and it was also his plan to coerce the prince to leave the capital in the end," Yao Chong asked coldly.

"Song Jingshangshu only has Jin Wuwei's talisman in his hand," Xiao Song shook his head.

"Whose hands are the left guard and right guard's talismans?" Yao Chong asked.

"The left guard is in the hands of the prince, and the right guard is in the hands of the queen," Xiao Song said the answer.

Yao Chong stopped talking, raised his eyes to the sky, the situation was a little chaotic.

"So what should be done with so-and-so? Just like that? In front, there are more and more civilians kneeling with Song Jing, I am afraid that there are tens of thousands at this moment," Nalan Feiya asked.

"It depends on when the sage's talisman is delivered, the Marquis of Far East has already ridden the tiger and is difficult, if the sage's talisman does not come, then there is only hope that Dugu Xinci will have control over the Changcong guard, in the face of so many civilians kneeling and begging, it will be easy to shake without an iron heart" Yao Chong said coldly.

"Does that mean that the camp of the chief guard here is also unstable?" Nalan Feiya asked.

"Yes, after all, the army is too short, the sergeants are ordinary people, they have just entered the army, they have not gone through blood and fire, they are most afraid of bloodshed and murder at this stage, but they have not erased the hearts of civilians, it is easy to be moved, and it is easy to be enthusiastic, a few people kneeling may not care, but the scene of tens of millions of people kneeling? I'm afraid that someone will also be moved," Yao Chong still shook his head and sighed.

"If there are 100,000 pairs of eyes staring in front of the star today, and 100,000 pairs of legs kneeling, and 100,000 pairs of eyes staring at the back, and 100,000 knives and guns facing each other, the Queen Mother, what should I do?" is as strong as the Empress Nalan, and she can't help choking at this moment.

"At this moment, it can only be carried by it, any movement is adding chaos to it, and any wind and grass may become the last straw, the last straw that crushes the camel," Yao Chong said word by word.

"What about Guo Zhiyun? What about Wei Humility? The Queen Mother asked.

"Guo Changshi is sitting in the back camp, leading the military discipline team to guard the camp gate, and Wei Jianjun is distributing food to the battalions," Empress Nalan asked the sergeant.

"This is the best way to deal with it, wait for so-and-so, don't show up until the most critical time," Yao Chong said in a deep voice.

"Then let's just wait here, I just hope that the saint's talisman will arrive sooner, right?" The Queen Mother sighed and paused for crutches.

"What about so-and-so?" Xiao Songshang suddenly asked.

"Where should you go, where should you go," Yao Chong said angrily.

"I really don't know so many tricks, and I really want to take responsibility for General Tianxing," Xiao Song smiled bitterly.

"Na Ru is also a poor worm who has been beaten in this incident," Yao Chong said unceremoniously.

"Then so-and-so can only wait?" Xiao Song asked.

"You go and pick up the talisman, let Guo Zhiyun send a few people to protect you, I'm afraid that someone will deliberately block the talisman," Yao Chong ordered.

Xiao Song nodded and left.

Time passed little by little, and the two hours were like white clouds and dogs, not for Yao to stop or to die.

Almost noon, a small bridge by the Baqiao Bridge became the focus of attention of 200,000 people, and the thin Song Jing seemed to be almost unable to support it, trembling all over, and his body was slightly rickety.

Dugu Xinci on the opposite side was still smiling, holding the big sword and looking at the kneeling crowd, when someone couldn't help but scold this Tianxing general, Song Jingjun waved his arm to stop it, and the scene immediately became silent.

The faces of the Black Flag Guards of the Long Cong Guards became more and more ugly, but they covered their faces with black scarves and could not detect it, Guo Ziyi felt for the first time that Zang Xiye's decision to use a black scarf to cover his face as the logo of the Guards was correct, if someone could not bear it at this moment, it would be contagious, when half of the three thousand people were inclined to the people who knelt down opposite because they couldn't bear it, then there was a chance that this Black Flag Army would mutiny.

The 100,000 people kneeling in the black press opposite were too spectacular, and the 3,000 people here were as straight as ants standing against a buffalo.

Of course, the one who bears the most pressure is their boss, the Heavenly Star General Dugu Xinci, who stands at the front of the Black Flag Guard, blocking all the resentment of 100,000 people.

What does it feel like to stare at 100,000 pairs of living resentful eyes? The Black Flag Army was only affected by the afterglow, and General Celestial Star was the focus.

I heard that there is a kind of glass in the laboratory of Qingchuan Hua Normal University that can concentrate light, and the autumn sun can also ignite a pile of wood, can the focus of these 100,000 pairs of eyes burn the Tianxing General into ashes?

The Qiong Pavilion of the Immortal Palace was drunk and hazy, and he couldn't understand the sound of mortal suffering. Shimono finally learned that public opinion was expensive, and the phoenix was reborn
