Chapter 24: Knocking (I)
Wu Yang rushed to the imperial city, the palace gate was already surrounded by people on the inside and outside of the three layers, and the people of Lin'an continued to pour in from all directions, the Lin'an Mansion was almost out of the nest, and was doing its best to maintain order, and the forbidden army with spears on the walls of the imperial city was standing all over the wall, bringing an invisible pressure.
"Good boy!" Changji stammered, "Is this all the people of Lin'an City here?" ”
Wu Yang's face was solemn, he jumped off the horse and threw the reins of the horse to Changji: "I will enter the palace immediately, you take the horse back and settle down and come back, find a safe place to guard, I will naturally look for you if I have something!" Remember, be smart! ”
After Wu Yang finished speaking, he didn't wait for Changji to answer, and walked towards the palace gate by himself, most of the people in Lin'an knew this little Wu commander, and they all made way for him, and Wu Yang came to the palace gate smoothly.
In front of the palace gate, two teams of forbidden troops, each team of ten people, guarded in front of the palace gate, saw Wu Yang coming, the two soldiers in front of the spear pointed to Wu Yang's chest.
"Stop coming, report your name!"
Wu Yang immediately announced his name loudly: "The five-fingered commander of the Imperial City Division has made Wu Yang enter the palace on duty!" ”
Immediately, two forbidden soldiers came over, one took his waist card and sent it to the captain on duty for inspection, the other removed his waist knife, and searched Wu Yang's whole body, and after signaling that it was okay, the captain on duty trotted over and nodded to Wu Yang and was careful: "Commander Wu, forgive me, during the special period, please stay by the side for a while, I ordered someone to ask the upper five-fingered brother on duty today to come and pick you up!" ”
Wu Yang put on the waist knife again, nodded and said, "It's okay." ”
The captain ordered a forbidden army to run into the palace to find Li Nanfeng, the deputy commander of the upper five fingers on duty today, and he himself led Wu Yang to wait behind the deer.
Wu Yang asked casually, "What happened?" Why did you block the palace gates? Didn't the adults come forward to appease the people? ”
The captain glanced at Wu Yang a little strangely, "How could Commander Wu not know about such a big matter?" ”
Wu Yang said: "Don't hide it from my brother, I stayed with the people of the Secret Spy Division for a while today, and I didn't have this kind of thing when I left the palace. No, as soon as I got the news, I rushed over immediately! ”
The lieutenant looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "I shouldn't say this reasonably, since Lord Wu asked, he had the courage to say it." The cause of this matter has nothing to do with the Imperial City Division where Lord Wu is located! ”
The captain "horn" explained, and what he said was roughly the same as what Bai Yu said.
"Now, the old master Yan Mo and a group of people from Taixue are holding Xiaolong's sentence 'Lin'an City, I am the king's law', and they don't want Your Majesty to give an explanation, and the people who are unhappy with Wang Ergou's family are also here, saying that they are afraid that the people of the Imperial City Division will retaliate afterwards, and they also want Your Majesty to give an explanation - no, the more people gather, the King of Enping County has already gone to His Majesty to ask for guilt, it's been almost an hour, and he hasn't come out yet, and I don't know how this matter ended today? Now it is the people of Lin'an Mansion Yin and the government who are appeasing the people, but how can Dr. Yan Yan listen to him? Old Master Yan and the people of Taixue will not retreat, and the people will not retreat! The brothers had to stay with them here. ”
Wu Yang pouted to the periphery of the crowd, "What's going on with those people?" ”
The lieutenant looked at the place where Wu Yang was pouting, and on the periphery of the crowd, in the northwest direction, there was a group of five big and three rough men, although they were old, their eyes were sharp, and they were obviously different from ordinary people.
"They-" the captain pouted, "they are all some of the big-headed soldiers who have retired from the army, and somehow they know the news that the old soldiers of the Gushan Battalion were tortured to death after being arrested and put in prison, no, the rabbit died and the fox was sad, and they all took this opportunity to cry out in front of Your Majesty, and begged Your Majesty to let those old soldiers go!" However, they also knew that His Majesty did not want to see the warriors, so they did not dare to step forward. ”
Wu Yang figured out the situation, and chatted with the captain without being salty, and Li Nanfeng, who was fully armored, trotted over all the way with his waist knife: "Ancestor, why did you come?" Come in with me! ”
Wu Yang thanked the lieutenant, and followed Li Nanfeng as he walked: "You still say that I, such a big matter, why don't you see you throw me a letter?" Fortunately, I was wearing armor when I entered the palace yesterday, otherwise it would have been too late! ”
Li Nanfeng stood up suddenly, "You don't know about such a big thing?" You're not in the Imperial City Division? He patted his forehead and said, "Blame me, blame me!" I thought you must know, and I thought you deliberately wanted to hide, how could my brother come and tear you down? That's not misleading, is it? ”
Wu Yang didn't have time to pay attention to this anymore, and asked, "How is the situation in the palace?" Is Your Majesty well? ”
"Your Majesty and the Empress are all well, but they are annoyed by the noise of these people! You don't know, this morning His Majesty was surrounded by a bunch of big turbans and asked him to set up a prince, and he didn't say it clearly, and he didn't leave, and his Majesty was angry, and he went back to the palace and sent a big fire, and it was easy for His Majesty to figure it out, no, Taixue and the people of Lin'an came out like this again! Tell me, does Xiaolong have no brains, what's 'Lin'an City, I'm the king', this kind of thing is also true? Even if you can say that it won't be his turn! Zhao Xuan was hurt by him, and knelt in the imperial study for half an hour, but His Majesty didn't wake up, or Wang Daban'er couldn't bear to look at it, and reminded His Majesty, so he let him get up, good guy, his legs were numb on his knees, and he almost fell to the ground...... At that time, I was guarding the door of the imperial study, and I saw it with my own eyes, tsk, during this time, the knees of the king of Pu'an and the king of Enping can suffer an old sin! ”
Li Nanfeng is good at everything, but he is famous for his broken mouth, and Wu Yang's heart when he heard him say that the emperor and queen are all safe and sound suddenly settled.
"I have ordered someone to hang up your value card, now you can go with me to guard the door of the imperial study with peace of mind, Your Majesty will be happy to see it, how about it, I am a friend enough, right?"
The closer you get to the imperial study, the more forbidden troops on both sides of the road, and when you arrive at the door of the imperial study, you can see the five-fingered officials densely surrounding in a circle, firmly protecting the imperial study inside, Li Nanfeng said proudly: "This idea was thought up by me, right?" Whoever wants to harm His Majesty must first step over the corpse of our Upper Five-Fingered Brother! ”
Wu Yang gave a thumbs up and praised: "This idea is absolutely amazing, it has to be you, others don't dare to do this!" ”
Hearing Wu Yang's praise, Li Nanfeng's jaw was about to rise to the sky, which was called an eyebrow dance!
Wu Yang and Li Nanfeng entered the human wall, and the two of them guarded the door of the imperial study left and right, Li Nanfeng straightened his face, and looked at death as if he were at home, and he was not chaotic in the face of danger, and he did have a bit of a loyal posture to protect the lord!
In the imperial study, Zhao Gou was pacing back and forth, he walked to the king of Enping County, who bowed down and listened to the training, and reprimanded: "Tell me about you, I handed over the Imperial City Division to you, originally I wanted you to share my worries, but it turned out that you were good, and connived at your subordinates to make such a big trouble, and the doctors of Taixue and the people of Lin'an came to block the gate of my palace, so how can I live in peace?" How to deal with the aftermath now, do you have a plan in your heart? ”
Zhao Xuan bowed deeply and said: "It's all up to Your Majesty's orders!" ”
Zhao Gou was almost angry by his reply, pointed his finger at him and said, "Okay, okay, what is all up to Your Majesty's orders, if something happens, push it on me, what do I want you to do?" ”
Outside the palace gate, Yan Mo and the people were impatient without waiting for a result, the crowd was restless, and someone shouted: "We want Your Majesty to give an explanation!" We're going to beat the drums! We will punish the murderers! Wang Ergou's family can't die in vain! Xie Taixue and Liu Taixue can't be beaten for no reason! ”
"Yes, beat the drum and let the emperor come out to answer!"
In the ancestral system of the Great Song Dynasty, once the drums were beaten, the emperor must immediately listen to the government and resolve disputes no matter what he was busy with. Later, in the Zhenzong Dynasty, there was a farce of two prime ministers competing to marry widows and beating the drums three times, and the emperor immediately ordered to arrange a small official to be responsible for guarding the drums, and they were not allowed to beat the drums unless necessary, which made the people who beat the drums less.
The little official who guarded the imperial city saw that something was wrong, so he hid the drum and hid it himself. Hearing that the people were going to beat the drums, they hurriedly came forward to stop them, but the crowd was angry, who would listen to the greeting of a small official? Someone grabbed him and forced him to hand over the drum, and when he landed, a powerful man stepped forward and beat the drums loudly with a loud bang.
As soon as the drums sounded, the front of the palace gate suddenly became quiet, and the dull drum sound seemed to knock on people's hearts, making people's heartstrings tremble.
As soon as the drums stopped, the people immediately shouted in unison: "Dengwen drums, please come out and answer!" ”
The voices of thousands of people gathered together, like thunder in the flat ground, resounding inside and outside the palace!
Zhao Gou also heard the huge shout, he motioned to Wang Muen to go out to see what was going on, and after a while, Wang Muen came in with a white face, "poof" knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "It's a big deal, Your Majesty, the people are beating the drums, and you want Your Majesty to come forward to answer, Your Majesty will not go out and the people will attack the imperial city, and the matter of 'knocking' is only afraid that it will be repeated!" ”
In the first year of Jingkang, Bianliang in Tokyo of the Great Song Dynasty was besieged by Jin soldiers, and Li Gang and Chongshidao were framed by the surrender faction. ‘
This provoked the Tai students Chen Dong and Gao Deng and others who were concerned about the society, they held the book and attracted tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians to support, and finally Emperor Qinzong ordered Li Gang and the Taoist officials to be reinstated, which was the famous "knocking" incident in the first year of Jingkang. Unexpectedly, more than 30 years have passed, and the "knocking" incident will be staged again in Lin'an, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty.
Zhao Gou didn't even have the strength to be angry at Zhao Xuan at this time, and the top priority was to calm down the anger of the people first.
How similar is today's Lin'an to the original Bianliang, there are Jin people eyeing each other outside, and the main battle and the main peace faction are incompatible, and the emperor is caught in the middle and is angry inside and out!
Zhao Gou secretly slandered in his heart, but he forgot that it was his own hesitation that caused today's turbulent situation!
"What about Lin'an Mansion Yin? Hasn't he been placating the people? How is the situation getting out of control? Is he a dead man? ”
Zhao Gou was angry, and there was an inner servant outside the door preaching: "The left and right phases, the six Shangshu and the Imperial History ask to see——"
