Since the day of the sudden arrival of the imperial study in the imperial palace, the people of the capital and the surrounding states and counties have come to worship the miracle given to Daqin by Haotian God.

Noon Gate, each gate of the palace is closest to a portal of the imperial study, standing here, if you have good eyesight, you can have a panoramic view of the imperial study, and the people who come here every day to worship are endless.

Early this morning, the people saw a team of palace guards carrying a log three feet long and placing it at the noon gate, and a notice was posted next to the wood.

"Whoever can carry this piece of wood from the noon gate to the door of the Jingzhao Yin Yamen will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver. ”

Looking at the content of the notice, the onlookers gasped one after another, what is the concept of a thousand taels, a family of three spends no more than a few taels of silver a year, and a thousand taels is enough for a family to turn from a commoner to a small rich man in an instant.

"It's fake, isn't it?"

"It doesn't look like it's real, this piece of wood is a lot of work, a thousand taels of silver?

"Indeed, starting from here to Jingzhao Yin Yamen is only five miles, this wood is three zhang long, and it weighs no more than 100 catties, and the market price of carrying this kind of wood is three cents of silver. ”

"That's right, no more than five cents of silver, and a thousand taels must be a joke with everyone. ”

"I also think so, which noble person in the palace should have fooled us. ”

"Guys, don't be fooled, it's nothing to move wood, make a big joke but you won't see anyone in the capital. ”

"But this is a notice posted in the palace, if other people joke with us, it is still possible, I don't think our Majesty will joke with our people. ”

"You don't think it's a joke, you carry it?"

"I'm not going to join in the fun, I've never liked to join in the fun. ”

"Huh. ”

Before the notice at the gate at noon, a large group of people were talking, you look at me, I look at you, but no one is willing to carry wood, and everyone thinks that this is impossible.

But the people of Daqin like to join in the excitement the most in their lives, so there are more and more people gathered in front of the noon gate, and more and more people participate in the discussion.

In the end, Jingzhao Yin Lin Guodong also rushed over, he was also sitting at home, and things fell from the sky, because the wood was carried from the noon gate to Jingzhao Yin, then Jingzhao Yin Yamen must have known, the people did not dare to break into the palace indiscriminately, but Jingzhao Yin Yamen still dared to break through, so Lin Guodong, who was sitting in the house, was shouted by the people.

Looking at the notice, Lin Guodong's eyelids jumped, just looking at this notice, he felt that this matter was probably true, it must be something that the emperor came up with while sitting in the study and patting his head.

But Lin Guodong didn't understand the emperor's intentions, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he had to comfort the people and say: "This thing should be true, if the big guy has the strength, he will move down and try it." ”

Although Lin Guodong is very prestigious among the people in the capital, his statement is a bit suspicious of wanting to cover up, and many "smart" people immediately feel that Lord Lin is talking back, which is definitely not true.

Looking at the people who thought they were smart, Lin Guodong smiled dumbly, and didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to order Jing Zhaoyin to send a team of officials to come over to maintain law and order.

At this moment, Lin Guodong's eyes lit up, and he suddenly shouted to a person who walked out of the noon gate: "Lord Shang, what do you think is going on?"

Lin Guodong had never met Shang Yang before, but as Jing Zhaoyin, he had his own way, and he had already made people figure out what Shang Yang looked like, and when he saw Shang Yang at this moment, he shouted with joy.

Shang Yang has never seen Lin Guodong, but for a person who is determined to change the law, the officials of the main yamen of the Great Qin State have long been remembered for their interests, hobbies and official style, and when they look at Lin Guodong, they know that this is Jing Zhaoyin.

"Lord Lin. Shang Yang arched.

Lin Guodong looked stunned, and he couldn't figure out how Shang Yang knew his name, but then said indifferently: "Lord Shang just came out of the palace, do you know what's going on?"

Lin Guodong's movements here have already been surrounded by a group of people, the so-called law does not blame the public, they don't care who comes out of the palace, and what kind of high-ranking officials are speaking in front of the palace gate.

Shang Yang glanced at the people around him, and arched his hand: "Fellow villagers, this official Shang Yang, and the minister of the imperial court, what can you say to me." ”

"My lord, may I ask if this notice is true?"

"Nature is true. Shang Yang said: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, every word is true, it is difficult to chase the horse, if you say it, it is a sure thing." ”

Although Shang Yang said it well, the people around him looked at each other, Shang Yang had never heard of it, what was the Minister of Law Change, Shang Yang's words not only did not dispel the doubts of the people, but on the contrary, made more people even more disbelieving the content of the notice.

For a while, the atmosphere in front of the noon gate was a little awkward.

"I'll come. ”

Just when everyone was looking at me and I was looking at you, a mighty man suddenly walked out of the crowd, this big man was more than eight feet long, with short black hair, and a strong man.

As soon as the man stood up, some people recognized him and shouted, "Isn't this Zhang Fei who chops wood at the west gate?"

"Zhang Fei, is that Zhang Fei who can cut 1,000 catties of wood a day and lift 300 catties of heavy objects at a time?"

"But it wasn't him, I didn't expect this poor boy to stand up. ”

"Anyway, he was originally a woodcutter and firewood, and he couldn't afford to suffer a big loss by carrying this hundred pounds of wood. ”

Zhang Fei turned a deaf ear to the surrounding discussions, walked up to Shang Yang, and said loudly: "This lord, is it really as the notice said, as long as you send this wood to Jing Zhaoyin, you can receive a thousand taels of silver." ”

"That's right. Shang Yang nodded.

"Who are you looking for?" Zhang Fei said again.

"Find this official leader. Shang Yang pointed to himself.

"Good. ”

Zhang Fei answered, walked to the side of the wood, rolled up his sleeves, picked up the wood and strode in the direction of Jing Zhaoyin, and the people in front of the noon gate followed Zhang Fei all the way, waiting to see Zhang Fei's liveliness.

Shang Yang stood in place, squinting his eyes, and there was a hint of a smile in his heart, thanks to this big man standing up, otherwise he wouldn't know how long he would sing this play.

From the noon gate road Jing Zhaoyin is only five miles in total, with Zhang Fei's footsteps, but a stick of incense, this strong man ran back with a large group of people.

As soon as Zhang Fei came back, he stretched out his hand to Shang Yang and said, "My lord, the wood has been delivered, they can all testify, now you can give money." ”

In front of the noon gate, hundreds of people threw wood at Shang Yang for a while, Shang Yang smiled slightly, clapped his hands, and a guard walked in front of Zhang Fei with a tray, the tray was shining with silver light, and the onlookers were dazzled.

Zhang Fei looked at the silver on the tray, his body trembled a little, he was also joking, he never thought that there was really silver, but at this time, looking at the silver in front of him, he was a little afraid to take it.

Shang Yang took out a silver ingot from the tray, stuffed it into Zhang Fei's hand, and then said loudly to the people around: "This notice is posted at the noon gate, and the content of the notice is Your Majesty's will, Your Majesty is the son of Heaven, and what Your Majesty says, it is a sure thing." ”

"A promise of gold, Your Majesty is really the Holy Son of Heaven!"

At that time, some people shouted, and then hundreds of people knelt in front of the noon gate in an uproar.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Looking at the people kneeling at the noon gate, on the palace wall, Wang Mang, who had been staring at the noon gate, couldn't help but smile.
