Shaoxing 30 years of the Lantern Festival, Lin'an City is still so lively, even more lively than in previous years, has not yet set into night, more than ten miles long on the street has been lit up all kinds of lamp mountain, the source of the long lamp river is in the palace, the end of the lamp river is almost to the foot of the small lonely mountain.

The flickering candle flame is like the starlight in the sky, if you look down from the sky above Lin'an City, it is like the Milky Way in the sky falling into Lin'an City, and the capital of the Great Song Dynasty is reflected as if the fairy gate in the sky.

There was a lot of laughter in the goulan, the sky was covered with fine snow, and the dancers from foreign countries were still bare and slender waists, dancing their gorgeous skirts into blooming flowers in the dense beat of the drums.

Everyone was happy, and everyone seemed to squander all the happiness of the rest of their lives tonight.

Lin'an City has been peaceful for 20 years, and everyone from the emperor to the people firmly believes that such a peaceful life can go on forever.

The Emperor of Jin didn't think so.

Last year, Emperor Wanyan Liang of the Jin Kingdom enacted the "Law on Crossing the Border with Private Interests", and those who dared to cross the border between the Song and Jin Dynasties without permission, whether you were a hawker engaged in smuggling business, a merchant who traded between the border between the two countries, or an ordinary person who coveted the convenience of visiting relatives and friends, once caught, there would be no life.

Subsequently, the Jin State unilaterally closed more than 10 vertebral fields between the Song and Jin countries, and the trade between the two countries could only be carried out by relying on the Sizhou vertebral fields on both sides of the Huai River. If you want to do business or sell goods, you must obtain a temporary license issued by the government, and you can only be released if you have to check your identity correctly. For those who operate without a license, or dare to pass the test in confusion, once caught, they will be punished with details, and there is only one end, "Die!" ”

At first, there were really people who were not afraid of death, but a row of wooden stakes were erected on the other side of the Huai River, and they were filled with severed human heads.

For a time, many small merchants and traders who did border trade in the Great Song Dynasty abandoned their goods and fled, and these people had no livelihood and no money to return to their hometowns, so they fell into the grass one after another, which made the border areas of the Great Song Dynasty very headache for a while.

Emperor Jin has done much more than that, according to the information sent back by the spies who are undercover in the Jin country, and there are also some businessmen who still trade with the Jin country, the emperor of the Jin country is building ships and weapons, and the convoy transporting grain and grass is not visible on the avenue -

Everything shows that the iron cavalry of the Jin people is coming again, and the Song and Jin countries are going to war again!

The people of Lin'an and the emperor have similar thoughts, they don't want him to come, he just wants to come, so he can only have fun in time!

As the night deepened, the glitz and glamour of Lin'an City also reached the extreme, and at this moment, a sharp warning tore apart the night-

"There is a curfew in the whole city, and all idlers and miscellaneous people are allowed to return home, and they are not allowed to stay on the streets.

The drums of the curfew sounded suddenly and dullly in Lin'an City, shaking people's hearts again and again, and the people who were still talking and laughing suddenly became like panicked quails, plunging into the night on both sides of the heavenly street, panicked to find their way home.

The sound of cheering and cheering can no longer be heard in the big and small tiles, only the anxious parents are calling for their children; The sound of singing in the hook bar, the sound of guests and girls laughing and playing, came to an abrupt end; The beautiful ladies on the long street could no longer care about the embroidered shoes that had been stepped on and the beads that had fallen off, and hurried towards the direction of home, and some people who had not had time to go home simply hid in the nearest store and endured the long night.

The people were panicked and frightened, whispering and speculating.

"Oh my God, the Jin soldiers came over so quickly, what about the forbidden army? What about the princesses? It's a good block! ”

"God, my mother is about to give birth, what is this, my old Liu family has three generations of only seedlings, and I am counting on this baby to get a male ...... in one fell swoop"

"My mother is still at home, I have to go back and take her with me to escape......"

"Run? Where to flee? There is only such a big place left in the Great Song Dynasty, the Jin people really called, let's wait for death together! ”

One hundred and eight all-night forbidden drums have not been beaten, the crowded Lin'an City suddenly became empty, from the palace to the small lonely mountain more than ten miles of long streets, the forbidden army five steps and one post, ten steps and one sentry, according to those who did not have time to go home afterwards recalled, the sound of horses' hooves on the heavenly street "da-da" echoed back and forth all night.

Half an hour ago, Yang Yizhong, the "Sanya" management army, knocked on the door of the palace that had been locked, and reported a horrific incident to Zhao Gou, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.

It is also strange to say that most of the battalion roars occur in wartime, and the soldiers either have too much training intensity, or the combat pressure is too great, and some people are terrified at night, and suddenly shouting and causing riots, and if one is not handled properly or not handled in time, it may trigger a chaotic fight that affects the whole battalion or even the whole army, causing immeasurable casualties and losses.

The old camp in Gushan is all veterans of forty or fifty years old, the Great Song Dynasty has not fought for many years, the military equipment is lax, and the military discipline is lax, for these veterans who have retired from the battlefield for nearly 20 years, staying in the military camp is just to receive a share of the salary, how can there be a camp roar?

In any case, since the matter has happened, Yang Yizhong does not dare to slack off, and must report to the emperor as soon as possible, asking the emperor to order the implementation of a city-wide curfew, and the forbidden army will take over the defense of the whole city.

That's why the people of Lin'an City turned their horses on their backs.

The veteran ministers who had just returned home from the Lantern Festival Palace banquet were invited back into the palace, and they were all people who had experienced strong winds and waves, and after an initial shock, they quickly settled down.

Zhang Tao, the secretary of the ministry, glanced around, but didn't see Yang Chun, the secretary of the military department, and immediately asked, "What caused the camp to roar?" Can someone be sent to appease and persuade on the spot? What is the current situation? ”

Although Yang Yizhong's official rank was higher than Zhang Tao's, he knew that there was a ruthless man opposite who even the emperor dared to point his nose and scold, so he immediately replied: "Lao Yang of the military department has rushed over, and it is not clear what caused the camp roar at present. As a precaution, the palace gate has been re-locked, and the city gate and Ouchi have been heavily guarded, and Lin'an Castle has become like an iron bucket, so please rest assured that Your Majesty and your lordships will be relieved. ”

Now that the situation is unclear, Zhang Tao didn't say anything, and the other ministers are all looking at their noses and noses, and their noses are looking at their hearts, like an old monk entering the country, and the needles in the Dongnuan Pavilion can be heard for a while.

The candle flame made Zhao Go's face darken.

Eighteen years ago, on Chinese New Year's Eve, Qin Huan hammered Yue Fei to death in Dali Temple Prison on "trumped-up" charges, and the remaining three "Jing Martyrdom Four Generals", Liu Guangshi died of illness that year, the living Zhang Jun ran all the way on the road of luxury, and Han Shizhong led the fashion trend of Lin'an City with unusualness. Now, the four generals have died one after another, and the forces in the army attached to them have all collapsed, and only Wu Lan and Wutai Junjiedu in Xingzhou are struggling to support Liu Qi.

Seeing that the martial artists of the entire Great Song Dynasty were trembling again under the imperial power and the relative power, Zhao Gou finally found his place after the fright and humiliation he received in the "Miao Liu Change".

In order to appease the sensitive and fragile heart in his chest, Zhao Gou didn't mind crushing a nest of ants at his feet, even if the ants didn't cause him substantial damage.

Time passed minute by minute while waiting, Zhao Gou Junchen waited for about a meal, and the eunuch in charge of communication ran to the emperor with small steps, and bowed down to report: "Qi Qi Guan, good news." Lord Yang of the military department has successfully entered the old camp of Gushan and controlled the situation. The old camp in the lonely mountain is not a howling camp, but a crying camp—"

It was rumored that the eunuch said that he presented the secret report he had just received, and Zhao Gou and the important ministers took turns to read it, and Tang Siwei, the left minister, couldn't help but get angry: "Nonsense! What do you cry under the big festival? It has caused panic in the hearts of the people, and the people are in turmoil! ”
