Chapter 33: The Wind Fills the Building

In the middle of July, it was the funeral of the first emperor.

Of course, this is the biggest event of the day.

As for what happened during this period, the conviction of Cui He, the first councilor, and the summary of the cause of death of Xianchen Wang Qi, are all trivial.

In this day when many things need to be forced to settle and the coffin is closed, countless people are running.

Once again, 127 members of the Sect took off their official robes and robes, took to the streets, bit their fingers with their teeth, and wrote the word "injustice" in blood.

Countless people watched quietly from the houses on both sides of their way to the meeting.

Many people are willing to give support.

But no one dared to support it.

Everyone is against war.

Some people oppose it because their vital interests will be damaged by war.

Some people oppose it simply because they don't think it's right.

Foreign aggression is not right.

It's not right to bully the weak.

It violates the legal system of the saints and the orthodoxy of the ancestors of the Great Cloud Dynasty who rebelled against the previous dynasty.

Others, because others oppose it, so they themselves also oppose it.

Whatever the opposition, the masses are cold and silent at the moment, except for this school of thought that is doomed to die.

The team of filial piety is magnificent.

The flag-raising team looked pitiful.

The people of the school of law blocked the procession of filial piety carrying the coffin of the first emperor.

His Royal Highness the King of Song, who had not been allowed to participate in the sacrifice, stood on the second floor of the teahouse on the street with a gloomy face, overlooking the ranks of scholars and bureaucrats blocking the procession.

"Who are you, and what are you doing, that you dare to prevent the first emperor from being buried? Do you want to rebel? ”

In the middle of the group, a man wearing a monocle of myopic glasses walked out, his face full of anger.

The procession of the school fell to their knees and then split up on both sides of the road.

It's just that their flag is still there.

The flag of injustice with huge blood written on it.

"Tear down the flag." When the man wearing monocles saw the flag, he frowned: "Don't delay the time of the first emperor. ”

The order went down.

But the flag can't be removed.

On weekdays, the bureaucrats who are high above protect the flag with their bodies.

If you don't want to delay the time of the first emperor, unless you let the coffin pass under your banner.

Either......

The king of thunderbolts lifted his glasses: "Kill them." ”

"Take it farther."

"The first emperor was the most taboo to kill his own people during his lifetime."

Qin Zheng and Qin Yi supported Princess Heyang.

This princess, although she had fallen out with the royal family a long time ago because of her insistence on marrying, was to attend the funeral.

doesn't mention the death of her eldest brother on weekdays, and Princess Heyang doesn't feel sad.

Today, when the emperor entered the mausoleum, she cried so much that she couldn't stand still.

Qin Zheng supported his wife, and when he saw that the team had stopped, he turned his head slightly.

Behind him, Yue Shan bowed: "Back to the auxiliary government, the matter has been done." ”

"That's fine." When Qin Zheng heard this reply, he no longer paid attention, but just focused on his wife again.

There are too many variables.

Something to be done in advance.

……

"Master Zhou, why do you have to pay money today?" Zhou Congee's eyes widened.

"That's right, Chu Gong." Master Zhou in the kitchen explained to Chu Tianshu, who was correcting his homework next to him: "This is because when I went to buy vegetables this morning, I found that the price of food on the market had risen, and the usual money was not enough to buy vegetables like us today." ”

"How much has it gone up?" Chu Tianshu didn't care too much, the rise and fall of grain was a common thing: "Zhou porridge, take the money to Master Zhou." ”

"It's up more than half." Master Zhou said.

Chu Tianshu's action of correcting homework stopped.

"What?"

"It's up, more than half." Master Zhou hurriedly said: "Chu Gong, don't get me wrong, although my old Zhou usually occasionally brings some food from the kitchen back to feed my children, but he never has the courage to coax you, but he is really the price of this grain has inexplicably risen so much today!" ”

Chu Tianshu was a little incredulous: "It's really gone up so much?" ”

"yes." Master Zhou sighed: "Who would want to get this?" ”

"It shouldn't be, we've never seen this before."

Chu Tianshu's heart moved slightly: "Is it because there is going to be a war?" ”

"Isn't it?" Zhou Congee said: "Although there was a price increase in food in the past, it definitely didn't go up so much." ”

"Is there anything big going on today?" Chu Tianshu asked.

"Didn't put it...... Oh, by the way, the emperor is going to be buried today. ”

"It's today." Chu Tianshu was stunned, but shook his head again after a moment: "No, the burial of the first emperor will not affect the price of grain." ”

The temple is high, although many things can indeed affect the lowest things in the country.

However, the life and death of an emperor, weddings and funerals, it is unlikely to affect the most basic food prices.

"Somewhere, isn't it?" Chu Tianshu was a little unsure.

"Then who knows?" Master Zhou shook his head: "This is not something I should care about. ”

It's useless for people at the bottom to think so much.

They just think about what to eat today, which is more practical.

Chu Tianshu nodded: "Zhou Congee, give Master Zhou more money." ”

"Master Zhou, the increase in the price of grain today...... Why don't you buy more rice and flour fumes and store them in the factory's warehouse? ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Master Zhou nodded hurriedly: "I almost forgot this, it is said that the price of grain will rise in the future, I was about to say that I would ask Chu Gong to give me more money, so that I can go and stock up on some hard goods, so as not to increase the price of grain again in the future." ”

Zhou Congee looked up at Chu Tianshu.

Chu Tianshu frowned, thought about it again and again, and put down his pen: "Master Zhou, you don't have to cook my meal at noon, I'll go out." ”

"Okay."

……

"Today, the emperor is buried, and many things are inconvenient to do."

"The first emperor was benevolent, benevolent, and in line with the general righteousness."

"It is our great fortune and our misfortune to have such an emperor."

"The brothers are also grateful for the kindness of the first emperor who repeatedly gave porridge and medicine."

"We are not beasts who don't know how to be grateful, today is a big day for the first emperor to enter the earth, and the restlessness on the scene must be stabilized one by one."

"Our great cause will not be in a hurry for today."

Cui Ma arranged the words, and the workers below were all settled, and a few of them were even quietly wiping their tears.

β€”β€”During the reign of the first emperor, he did a lot of practical things and gave the peasants and workers at the bottom a way to live.

Such a person, it's just a pity that he died young.

……

Some people on the street spontaneously mourned for the emperor.

But the atmosphere of sadness is not the main tone.

Nervousness, that is.

The first people who can perceive the abnormal changes in food prices for no reason are always the people at the bottom.

Something that costs four or five cents on weekdays is now half as expensive as ever, so what's the deal?

The change in food prices caused a great panic among the people at the bottom.

Chu Tianshu walked on the streets, and there were people in a hurry everywhere.

They are all scrambling for food.

Judging from this situation and the mood of the masses, tomorrow, most of the grain prices will still rise.

Someone's messing around.

But why?
