Wu Yang looked back at the mansion behind him, and the two big characters "Han Mansion" gilt on a black background on the gate were written by the emperor himself, which looked heavy and unassuming.

The whole Han Mansion is not big, and it is also the appearance of the four entrances, winning in the pavilions and pavilions, there is no shortage of small bridges and flowing water, the things used in daily life are obviously valuable, and the appearance is not luxurious at all, even the servants who serve at home are full of elegance, maybe this is the heritage of the hairpin house for many generations.

Han Jiayan, the commander of the horses, is the sixth son of the late Prime Minister Han Qi, and the third daughter of Emperor Shenzong, with the title of Princess Tang Guochang.

In terms of seniority, Han Jiayan is the uncle of the current emperor Zhao Gou, who is now in his eighties (Note 1), not only is his face covered with age spots, but even his hands are as thin as wood, as if he has no strength to hold the cane in his hand.

But who would have thought that these days in Lin'an City, stirring up wind and rain, and making the situation inside and outside the palace change color, it is precisely the hands that are as thin as firewood.

These days, Wu Yang has been tracking down the mastermind behind the Lin'an riots, and all the clues point to Qingliang Mountain, pointing to the master of the Han Mansion who is about to die!

Before he could get conclusive evidence, the emperor pinned his hopes for solving the Lin'an dilemma on the master of the Han Mansion.

"Go and tell the Captain of the Horse, and ask him to help me get out of trouble! Now the only one I can count on is the Captain of the Pony! ”

Han Jiayan was also looking at this young man who had made a name for himself in Lin'an City, watching him descend the mountain path step by step.

"Wu Lan has a good son! Today's young people are amazing! ”

Wu Yang's black hand behind the investigation of the Lin'an turmoil naturally couldn't be hidden from the Han family, especially since he had already found out about the Han Mansion, but he could still deal with him quietly, talking and acting without leakage, so Han Jiayan couldn't help but look at him with admiration.

Han Rang was also looking at the young man, and there was a layer of worry between his eyebrows: "Old lady, this son has bitten us very hard recently, will it be hindered to let him continue to investigate?" ”

The riots in Lin'an City caused so many civilian deaths and so many houses to be destroyed, which Han Jiayan did not expect at all, although he sent people to the Gushan Camp to transfer the old soldiers when the riots first appeared, and ordered the heads of all walks of life in Lin'an City to try their best to restrain their own people, but the riots have been completed, and these efforts are just a mantis arm as a car.

If the culprit of the Lin'an riot is liquidated afterwards, Han Jiayan will be the first to run away!

Han Jiayan was rarely silent. He did want to coerce the people to achieve the goal of playing with the emperor, but in any case, he would not deliberately create turmoil and use human lives to achieve his goal.

It can only be said that this riot was really an accident!

Han Jiayan has the style of a father, not a swaying character, he commanded: "Since we have come to this point, there is no reason to retreat. If there is really infamy, the old man will bear it! ”

…………

The undercurrent of Lin'an City is surging, and all forces have launched a new round of games. All this has little to do with Wu Yang, he is more concerned about the brothers who were killed in the peace of the war.

In this crisis, which later generations called the "Lin'an Rebellion", 13 people were killed and hundreds were injured in the battle of the relatives and subordinates who followed him to quell the rebellion.

Wu Yang has been sending people to continue to track down the black hands behind the scenes these days, while he is busy pacifying his subordinates.

The emperor is now in a stalemate with hundreds of officials and the people, and it is still unknown how the riots in Lin'an City will be characterized, looking at the men on the hospital bed who have never frowned with swords and bodies, looking at himself with pitiful eyes, Wu Yang suddenly understood why the old pawn of the Yue family army is still dead after eighteen years to wash away the stigma of the old handsome.

The pain of not being recognized is the greatest torture!

On February 21, Lin'an City was like a heavy snowfall, and the tents were full of white flowers, and crying could be heard everywhere in the city.

Today is the day of the funeral of the dead in the Lin'an riots, and a large piece of land is vacant in the middle of the square in front of the palace, and carts of corpses are pulled to the square, neatly placed in rows.

These are all people who died in the Lin'an riots, including ordinary people, middle- and lower-level officials, people, and fangding who rose up to resist, as well as righteous people like the veterans of the Gushan Battalion!

Today is the fifth day of the people besieging the palace gate, and the corpses of relatives and righteous people are gathered in the imperial city square, which is the collective request of the people, they say: "Our relatives are dead, people cannot be resurrected after death, the emperor will not understand the pain of losing his relatives, we want him to see, how many people died in Lin'an City when he hid in the shell of a turtle!" Can he still be at ease! ”

I don't know how long it took, the bodies of all the victims were finally placed neatly, and the entire memorial ceremony was presided over by Yin of Lin'an Mansion himself, led by the left and right ministers, followed by hundreds of civil and military officials, and then the relatives of the deceased, the people of Lin'an.

With the recitation of Lin'an Mansion Yin, the left and right ministers, civil and military officials and the people of Lin'an bowed and saluted, the relatives of the deceased knelt down to answer, the paper money danced on the square, and the cry shook the sky.

A little girl about three or four years old broke free from her mother's hand and ran towards the center of the square where the corpse was placed. ”

Maybe it's because I'm too young to know what death is and I don't know how to be afraid. The little girl ran to the middle of the corpse, looked around blankly, the outstretched little hand did not know who to reach, the corpse under her feet was covered with a white cloth, where could she tell who her father was?

Wu Yang hurriedly ran over and took the girl out and handed it to her mother: "Sister-in-law, please mourn!" ”

The girl's father was one of the family officials who followed Wu Yang to quell the rebellion, he was ordered to lead people to support Ping Yaocang, and fought with the bandits who came to set fire to the warehouse many times, and finally died of siege because of exhaustion!

Wu Yang had seen his corpse, there were traces of sword splitting and slashing on it, not to mention forty or fifty places, and a face that was originally quite handsome was cut to pieces, if it wasn't for the nameplate on his body, he would almost not recognize his identity!

The young woman took her daughter and held her tightly in her arms, and the little girl seemed to feel that something was wrong, because there were so many people, but her father never appeared, and she began to struggle and cry in her mother's arms, and kept asking, "Mother, where is Daddy?" I want Daddy! ”

While comforting her daughter, the woman tried her best to suppress her grief and said: "The soldiers in charge of the family eat food, and when they encounter danger, they should naturally be the first to step forward, that is, even if they die, I will not complain." It is his duty to protect His Majesty and protect the people! ”

She took a deep breath: "I just want to ask, isn't there only these soldiers in the huge Lin'an City that I am in charge of?" Or everyone else has gone to protect the emperor, and we, the little people, can only let the thugs kill at will! The emperor's life is life, but our life is not life? ”

The little girl ran out to find her father, everyone in the square fell silent, the woman's voice was very clear in the quiet square, and as the wind spread far away, it seemed that countless people were questioning, shouting: "Our life is not life-"

Zhao Gou was on the palace wall at this time, the torch burned and made a slight "crackling" sound, so that his heart couldn't help but "bang" beating, with the woman's scream, Zhao Gou was like a man's back, and he felt that the forbidden army around him looked at him meaningfully.

He didn't want to come to today's situation, and he didn't want to put the bodies of the victims at the gate of the palace, who had ever seen a corpse at the gate of the palace? Such a ridiculous thing has never been done before!

The two prime ministers repeatedly apologized to the people, claiming that it was their own dereliction of duty that caused the riots in Lin'an City, causing innocent people to die, their wives and children to be humiliated, and their homes to be destroyed.

"Gestures, invite people's hearts!"

Zhao Gou scolded secretly in his heart, he was very angry, and a little aggrieved, if it weren't for you stirring up the wind and rain behind your back, how could Lin'an City suffer from this strange disaster, and how could I be criticized by the people!

The square was quiet for a while, and suddenly someone shouted: "Punish yourself!" ”

"The emperor's virtue and politics are not cultivated, and he angers the heavens, and the heavens send a warning! It's a pity that the innocent people of Lin'an have to bear the consequences for the emperor's failure to cultivate morality! ”

"Do your own sins, carry them yourself! The emperor should still issue an edict to ask for mercy from heaven! Don't bother innocent people anymore! ”

The voices of discussion in the square grew louder and louder, and finally converged into one sentence—

"Please ask the emperor to make an edict!"

The emperor came down from the palace wall and found Empress Wu with a very bad face: "What did the Captain of the Horse say over there?" Is there really no room for turnaround? ”

Empress Wu squatted down and pleaded: "The general trend is irreversible!" ”

Before the memorial ceremony was over, the left and right ministers and the important ministers of the court were invited into the palace by the emperor, and the monarchs and ministers talked for a long time.

Immediately, there was a decree in the palace, and the incident in Lin'an City was officially characterized as a "riot", and all meritorious personnel who participated in the suppression of the rebellion were rewarded; The old soldiers of the Gushan Camp made meritorious contributions to quelling the chaos, and renamed the Gushan Camp as the "Loyalty and Righteousness Camp", and the salary and daily expenses were increased. Officials who died in the line of duty during the rebellion were posthumously awarded two grades, and the dead were buried with mercy and compassion for their families.

The Imperial City Division mentioned that Wu Yang was young and promising, loyal and brave, and gave him a silver fish bag, which could walk in the palace with weapons.

In addition, Lin'an Prefecture and Qiantang and Renhe counties will make every effort to carry out reconstruction work, so that the people who have lost their homes can return to their homes as soon as possible.

One after another will came out in the palace, and a lot of gold and silver were sprinkled out, which finally covered some of the bloody atmosphere of Lin'an City.

During this period, there was a small episode, the surviving old soldiers of the Gushan Camp heard that the emperor had renamed the Gushan Camp as "Zhongyi Camp", and raised the salary and daily treatment of the big guys, and they immediately thundered with joy, but they made a request, they were willing not to have these rewards, and only asked the emperor to re-investigate Marshal Yue's case and correct Yue Shuai's name!

After Zhao Gou heard this, he ordered the lieutenant to go to the "Loyalty Battalion" and reprimand the old soldiers, to the effect that the thunder, rain and dew are all from the will, how can you allow you big-headed soldiers to want to push, push if you want? You take what the emperor gives you, and you can't force what you don't give you!

The emperor did not mention the stubble of Yue Fei's name, but only ordered people to go to various places and lifted the detention of Yue Fei's sons, which can be regarded as justifying Yue Fei's name in disguise!

Note 1: Han Jiayan (1067-1129), Jianyan has passed away in the third year, and the date of his birth and death has been changed here, which is purely for the needs of the novel, and experts do not like it.
