Chapter 217: There Is Only One Truth
Liu Jian finally decided to take a day off before going back......
This bastard has such a free life, even Emperor Ji can hug left and right, and pull one by one to the bed, but he is tired like a dog in the summer, and there is a serious imbalance in his heart, and the left and right have been determined to be resolved peacefully, so it will not be a day or two.
Eventually, he decided to take a day off at Julu.
However, he didn't know that it was because of his laziness that day that the Great Song Dynasty fell into a serious political crisis.
Kaifeng.
Former Guozijian, now Kaifeng Commune Council.
A new four-wheeled carriage stopped outside the gate, then the door opened, the pedals were lowered, Huahua shook the fan in her hand and walked out of it, walked in proudly in the greetings of pedestrians entering and leaving, and then went straight to her office, the aura was as strong as a strong woman in a certain workplace.
"Director!"
The female secretary saluted and welcomed in.
This is the director of Kaifeng Commune, the theoretical leader, although in practice he is not very in charge, but as a symbol of the highest power here, when Wang Yue is not in Kaifeng, her identity is supreme, and because of her other identity, there are still many believers among the people. Although Wang Yue forbade her to spread those nonsense, it was enough to change the magic, such as mythologizing Wang Yue, he was originally mythologized anyway, and then this woman gave full play to her family's ancestral skills and fabricated a system with Wang Yue as the core.
She's good at doing this.
Although Wang Dashuai himself does not advocate this kind of feudal superstition, since everyone likes it, there is no need for him to interfere.
As for the real management of Kaifeng Commune, there is a general manager elected by Kaifeng Commune!
In the past six months, these people in the inner city have lived extremely happily, almost stepping into free capitalism.
The various prohibitions of the imperial court are completely absent here.
Private smelting, private brewing, private printing, private salt, private tea, private grinding, and even private casting are complete, and they are even openly manufacturing munitions, and even the primary version of the plate armor forged by water hammer has appeared, that is, the kind worn by Wang Yue, as for the three-eyed gun that Wang Yue envisioned at the beginning, it is not uncommon at this time, and even some people take this to Jinmingchi and other places to fight wild ducks.
Liberal capitalism inevitably brought about the brutal development of industry and commerce.
This can be said to be no suspense, originally Kaifeng, which had a strong industrial and commercial atmosphere, after completely lifting all kinds of restrictions, has rushed to the free city of the European Renaissance, and even many merchants in the inner city have moved to the outer city to operate, so as to avoid various prohibitions of the imperial court. And the profiteers, smugglers, and people defined by the imperial court around Kaifeng regard this place as their holy place, and the illegal salt is sold in a grand manner.
Kaifeng Mansion is still helpless.
After all, according to the previous agreement, Kaifeng Mansion has no law enforcement power in the outer city.
And it is useless to negotiate with the Kaifeng Commune, people said that they would strictly investigate, as for how to strictly investigate, when to find out, this has nothing to do with Kaifeng Mansion, even if these transactions are in the public, the result will definitely not be found out in the end.
It fattened the Kaifeng Commune.
After all, these are real taxes.
Therefore, at present, the Kaifeng Commune has sufficient financial resources, not only all employees are highly paid, but even the vast majority of the patrol police have put on new armor and carry three-eyed guns and the like to swagger through the city every day, in the name of maintaining law and order, but in fact, to prevent Kaifeng Prefecture from crossing the border to enforce the law
Of course, in fact, it is Wang Yue who is really fat.
The Kaifeng Commune knew very well who to protect the good life, so those taxes deducted various expenses, and all the rest were deposited in the bank opened by Wang Yue, which was used by Yan Gong, and the Kaifeng Commune only allowed this bank, and finally Wang Yue actually became the mastermind behind the economy of the Kaifeng Commune. In short, this freak of this era is rapidly showing the power of the new system, and even the right to speak has begun to be controlled, and those tabloids that were originally gray in nature have begun to mock the emperor and criticize the government at this time.
Because the efficiency of stereotyping is too low, movable type printing, which has not been promoted, has become sought after by those private printing workshops.
After all, this is fast.
Perfect for those newspapers that need a fast pace.
"Director, this is all the new newspapers published today, and the intelligence compiled by the intelligence team, which one do you read first?"
The female secretary said respectfully.
"Is there any news of the Yan Gong army?"
Flowey said.
As she spoke, she also picked up a crystal monocle myopia glass.
It is said that she has a little mild myopia, so she found a craftsman who grinds a magnifying glass, and specially grinds the myopia glass, the Great Song Dynasty already had a magnifying glass, and the earliest recorded user was the official Shi Xin of Zhezong, and reading glasses were not uncommon in the Ming Dynasty.
"There was an urgent report to the Privy Council this morning, our people couldn't copy it, but memorized the content, this is what he sent, the army arrived in Julu yesterday, Yan Gong garrisoned the mainland, and Julu Zhixian sent a five-hundred-mile rush before abandoning the city and fleeing."
The female secretary said.
"Hmph, this conscienceless man is finally willing to give up his women!"
The director said in a resentful manner.
The female secretary quickly bowed her head......
"When was this?"
Then the director picked up an inconspicuous piece of information and said.
"Back to the director, this is the list of those officials and eunuchs in the inner city who have hired ships to prepare to go south in the past two days."
The female secretary said.
"Why are there so many, I remember that the previous one was not even half of these two days, how did it suddenly double in just two days?"
The director said suspiciously.
"I think it's the army approaching day by day, and these people are in a hurry."
The female secretary said cautiously.
In fact, these days, the wealthy dignitaries in the city are transferring their property, and even transferring their families, and there are many who simply abandon their officials and run away. After all, everyone can see that the current situation is not good, Wang Yue, the demon, is obviously unstoppable, if he comes to sweep again, then everyone will really vomit blood.
As for these people, Huahua has daily records here, whether they run away or transfer their property, they finally have to walk through the gate controlled by the Feng Commune.
Blocking is indeed unruly.
But taking advantage of the opportunity to extort is essential.
or even simply arrange for people to rob outside......
Well, that's totally fine.
But in the past two days, the number of hired ships has suddenly skyrocketed, and the rise is certain, after all, Wang Yue is getting closer and closer, but the overturning surge is unreasonable, after all, the number of dignitaries and nobles in the city is limited, such a surge is obviously abnormal, and the only explanation is that someone needs a lot of boats, or there is a person who needs a lot of boats and wants to escape......
"Director."
A female secretary suddenly ran in.
"What?"
The superintendent said.
"Director, the palace maid we bought in Huayang Palace sent a letter, saying that someone has been secretly loading countless large boxes on Jinglongjiang's painting boat these nights, and she found an opportunity to peek at a box last night, which was full of gold and silver money. And some of the emperor's favorite calligraphy and paintings these days have also been removed from the places where they were originally hung, and they should have been packed into these boats, and it can be said that almost all the ships that can be used in Jinglongjiang are loaded with things.
The person presiding over this matter was Deng Shanxun, the emperor's closest confidant, and an old palace maid who was suddenly favored in the past half a year.
This person hardly saw anyone except the emperor.
But it doesn't look like a woman, but it is quite similar to the missing Cai You. ”
The female secretary said.
Huahua has long been buying palace maids and eunuchs in Genyue, in fact, not only Genyue, but also the palace, those palaces and other ministers' mansions, there are insider lines that have been bought, of course, in this council, there are also secret agents who have been bribed by the imperial court, and there are even double agents who collect money at both ends. After all, in a city, there is no way to avoid this kind of thing, Huahua and the imperial court have been playing spy games like this for most of the year, and even her main job is this, Director Dai, who is already like Wang Yue.
"Jinglongjiang?"
Flowey suddenly laughed.
Jinglongjiang is the moat of the inner city, but when the Genyue is repaired, that is, when the Huayang Palace, this moat is encircled in it, and it is expanded to the lake in the Genyue, so the painting boat of the Jinglongjiang River can directly enter the moat of the inner city, and the moat of the inner city is connected with the Bianhe River.
"Where are all these hired ships docked?"
She asked suddenly.
"Kannon-in Bridge."
The female secretary said.
That is, inside the Bianhe Water Gate in the southeast corner of the inner city.
The painting boat that came out of the Jinglong River could directly meet there, and then transfer the people and things above to these boats, and go straight down the river out of the water gate of the outer city and go straight to Nanjing.
"Ha, there's only one truth.
Our Emperor is about to escape, but why is he so mysterious?
Ah, he was afraid that the official family would stop him, he was afraid that the official family would not let him escape, and the game of father-son filial piety between father and son would not be able to continue.
Immediately send this news to the inner line of Geng Nanzhong's family, and let him find a way to let Geng Nanzhong know that there is another good show in Kaifeng City, but I am very curious, he still has to be known by the official family sooner or later, at that time, the official family directly ordered to stop it, how could he rush away from the official family's soldiers and horses?
Is it just relying on his old face? ”
Huahua said excitedly.
Indeed, no matter how hidden the great painter is, at most he can only achieve suddenness, but it is impossible to escape from the city quietly, it is said that the last gate is under the control of the Kaifeng Commune, and as soon as he leaves Genyue, he will be discovered by his son immediately, so how can he face his son's interception at that time? Is it just because of their father-son affection? Obviously, this is not possible.
"This is a big conspiracy, our official family seems to have been tricked by his father."
Flowey said.
