Chapter 375: New Year, Old Story
Shang Shutai.
Huangfu Jian sat at the bottom of Xun Yu for a long time, sitting upright, not squinting, but actually quietly looking at this room, muttering in his heart: I seem to be here for the first time.
This is the prime minister's duty room, and it stands to reason that as the second son of Huangfu Song, the captain of the Imperial City Mansion, it should not be the first time.
But Huangfu Jian has been adrift for so many years, running around, and Luoyang rarely returns, let alone this Shangshutai.
Present, in addition to Prime Minister Xun Yu, there are also Zhong Xuan, Xun Yu and Yin Chen Palace of Luoyang Mansion.
Xun Yu was not polite, and said directly: "I want the manpower you mobilize, can you arrive tomorrow?" ”
Huangfu nodded decisively, and said with a deep color: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, tomorrow will definitely arrive." ”
Zhong Xuan looked serious and said, "Are you sure they are all fresh faces, and they have nothing to do with Luoyang?" ”
Huangfu Jian was more serious than him, and said: "Zhong Servant Shoot rest assured, these are the secret training of the lower officials in Yanzhou, and they stay at the base all the year round, and rarely contact outsiders. ”
Xun Yu nodded and said, "Secretly summon them to Luoyang, and wait for my order the day after tomorrow." ”
Huangfu Jian raised his hand in response, and then said: "A total of 1,000 people, Prime Minister, is it enough?" The lower officials heard that the five buckets of rice were known as 100,000 people. ”
"No need to worry,"
Xun You was calm and said: "Their main altar is outside the city, and there are only a few hundred people in normal times. Your task is simple, get the roster and books, and don't worry about anything else. ”
Huangfu Jian sighed slightly, and said, "Don't you have any scruples? ”
Xun Yu paused and turned to Xun Yu.
If Zhang Lu and the others resist and make a move, deaths and injuries are inevitable, but hundreds of people will be killed and injured at once, which is enough to shock the government and the opposition.
That's not easy to explain.
"Don't worry."
Xun Yu's eyes were calm, and he said: "But the action must be fast, when necessary, after the end, the guards of the Imperial City Mansion will temporarily live in the Huangyuan, don't show your head, you will give me the roster and account books." ”
"The subordinate officer receives the order!" Huangfu Jian Chang had no scruples, his demeanor was relaxed, and he obviously didn't care much about the rabble of the Five Dou Mi Sect.
Seeing this, Zhong Xuan stiffened his face and said in a deep voice: "Captain Huangfu, the Wudoumi Sect has developed beyond imagination, and there are people in the government and the opposition, even in the Yulin Army and the Forbidden Army, and it involves the palace. I remind you that you must get things neatly and capture the bandit leader, and you can't conflict with the forbidden army and the Yulin army, let alone anger the palace! ”
Huangfu Jian listened to Zhong Xuan's words, and then looked at the others, instantly understood, put away his contempt, and said, "The lower official receives the order." ”
Xun Yu nodded at this time and said to Chen Gong: "Have you figured it out?" ”
Chen Gong said: "I have roughly figured it out, in a halfway mountain in the west of the city, two days later, Zhang Lu will open an altar to preach the Fa, and the sect may have tens of thousands of people. ”
Xun Yu turned to Huangfu Jian Chang again and said, "Forbidden Army, the current situation of the Yulin Army is unknown, and it cannot be called, so we must wait for those sect members to disperse before we make a move, and minimize the impact as much as possible." ”
Huangfu Jian Chang already understood the seriousness of this, and said, "Xia Guan understands. ”
Xun Yu and Xun Yu, Zhong Xuan looked at each other, saw the two nodding, and said to Chen Gong: "Luoyang Mansion has many people, you must be cautious and careful, and don't leak the news!" ”
Chen Gong raised his hand and said: "Prime Minister rest assured, the lower officials have carefully planned and will never leak it!" ”
Xun Yu groaned slightly, and said: "Other things, someone will deal with them, you do your things well, what if...... Ignore as if you haven't seen it. ”
Chen Gong was stunned for a moment, and then realized.
Shang Shutai obviously decided to take action not only because the Wudou Mi Sect was big and infiltrated the imperial court and posed a major threat to the Han Sheji, but also hid other deeper purposes.
Huangfu Jianchang also understood, but pretended not to hear anything, and sat among these big people seriously, secretly feeling sorry for it.
"Prime Minister!"
"Prime Minister!"
Suddenly, there was the sound of eager footsteps outside the door, followed by even more urgent shouts.
Xun Yu was inexplicably stunned in his heart, and said with an unmoving expression: "Come in." ”
The little official pushed the door in, glanced at the people present, and saw that there was a stranger named Huangfu Jianchang, so he stopped talking.
Xun Yu looked at him and said, "Second son of Huangfu, it's okay to be outspoken. ”
When the little official heard this, he hurriedly said, "Prime Minister, the news has leaked." The members of the Wudoumi Sect in Luoyang City were making trouble, and it was rumored that the imperial court was going to arrest them, and they were beating gongs and drums everywhere and shouting. ”
Including Xun Yu, everyone changed color.
Xun Yu just repeatedly emphasized that he wanted to keep it secret, and this has already been leaked out?
"Who leaked it!?" Xun You's face was cold, and his tone was full of anger.
The little official said: "I don't know for the time being, but it's already a mess outside." ”
Xun Yu took a deep breath and said: "Zhong Xuan, you go to the Three Law Divisions and ask them to help control the situation, Chen Gong, you go back immediately, all the six captains are mobilized, if anyone dares to mess around at this time, they will be thrown directly into the prison and punished severely!" ”
"Yes." Zhong Xuan, Chen Gong raised his hand, knowing that the matter was serious, he didn't dare to delay more, and left in a hurry.
Xun Yu looked at Xun Yu again and said, "Gongda, you go to the Liucao Nine Temples and appease them, no matter whether any of them have joined the Wudou Rice Sect or who has joined, they must not be allowed to mess around at such a time!" ”
Xun Yu nodded heavily, got up and left.
There was only one emperor left, and he quietly showed his desire for Xun Yu to assign tasks.
"Second son, please transfer people immediately, as many as you want, and wait for my order at any time!" Xun Yu and Huangfu said in a long and deep voice.
"The subordinate officer receives the order!" Huangfu Jian didn't say a word, raised his hand in response, got up and walked away.
He didn't have many guards in Luoyang City, and he had to mobilize them from everywhere.
Xun Yu sat in place, groaned slightly, and then got up and left.
He walked out of Shangshutai, walked through the corridor in front of the Jiade Palace, and came to the Great Sima Mansion.
Liu Yu was still writing something, and he was not polite to Xun Yu's arrival, and said without raising his head: "The prime minister is free, the old man has finished writing this." ”
Xun Yu was not surprised, sat down opposite him, and said, "The news of the disposal of the Wudou Mi Sect has leaked, and there is a mess outside." ”
Liu Yu raised his head fiercely, his sunken eyes were like sharp swords, cold and piercing, staring at Xun Yu and said, "Isn't it your Shangshutai who knows?" Why is it leaking? ”
Xun Yu said: "Now is not the time to pursue these, in order to prevent the five buckets of rice from jumping over the wall in a hurry, there must be some countermeasures, especially the forbidden army, the Yulin Army." ”
Liu Yu came to his senses, was silent for a moment, and said, "Come on, go and pass on Zhao Yun, Zhang Yang will come to see me." Also, please come over. ”
"Yes." A small official not far away got up and left in a hurry.
"The news has leaked, what are you going to do next?" There was no expression on Liu Yu's withered face.
Xun Yu was also quite depressed in his heart, and said: "They made trouble publicly, but they gave the court a reason to deal with them. The plan remains the same, but it needs to be pressed by large soldiers to ensure that Luoyang is safe. ”
Liu Yu looked at him for a moment and said, "You can't make trouble, but you must move quickly and don't let the situation burn." ”
Xun Yu nodded and said, "There is Lao Da Sima." ”
Liu Yu didn't speak anymore and continued to write.
Xun Yu raised his hand, and then said goodbye silently.
When Xun Yu's footsteps disappeared, Liu Yu opened his eyes wide, let out a long breath, looked at the somewhat gloomy sky outside the house, and sighed: "Your Majesty still hasn't changed, you always like to fatten fish and then kill them." ”
Maybe it's because people are dying, Liu Yu has a strange onlooker's clear perspective, and he suddenly understands and sees clearly the things that were puzzled and difficult to understand in the past.
For example, in front of him, why has the Five Doumi Sect been able to develop and sit so big?
Similarly, he also guessed why the palace would cultivate the Five Dou Rice Sect.
"Liu Gong,"
From inside the side door, Gongsun Du walked out, as respectful as ever, and said, "What is this Shangshutai going to do?" Such a big movement reminds me of Luoyang City five years ago. ”
Five years ago, it was the period before and after Liu Wei succeeded to the throne.
The city of Luoyang set off a non-stop slaughter, first the palace was washed in blood, then outside the city, in that short period of time, tens of thousands of people died under the bright butcher's knife.
Liu Yu also remembered, his expression was a little trance-like, and his eyes flashed.
At that time, everyone in Luoyang City seemed to have become the same, under the butcher's knife, they could die at any time.
The Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, the great general of Xuanhe for a while, He Jin, and the twelve permanent servants of the world, even if it is the supreme emperor, the soldiers are also approaching.
"It's the third snow of the year, and it's a little different from that year." Liu Yu looked out the door, stunned.
In that year, His Majesty, who had just succeeded to the throne in the palace, was walking on thin ice, and he had no choice but to bite the bullet, suppress people with the general momentum, and treat He Jin as a snake.
Next, Yuan Shu's slaughter of Luoyang, the beacon fire illuminated the entire Luoyang City, and His Majesty in the palace hid in the palace, trembling and trembling, and could only sit and watch everything happen.
And the third snow of the year came from inside the palace, not from outside.
For more than five years, the situation has changed, and His Majesty is no longer what he was back then.
Gongsun Du looked at Da Sima, who was in a trance, and couldn't understand his words at all, so he didn't ask, so he pretended to hesitate and said: "Da Sima, Liaodong has been quite restless recently, please take office as soon as possible." ”
Liu Yu quickly came back to his senses, his cloudy eyes flashed, and said, "I'm going to die, why are you so impatient?" ”
Gongsun Du bowed more, raised his hand and said: "Gong Liu, the lower officials are worried, if they don't leave, something big will happen in Liaodong." ”
Liu Yu slowly retracted his gaze, as usual, and said lightly: "What will happen to you in the future, I can't see it, I hope you can do it yourself." ”
Gongsun Du breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, raised his hand and bowed: "Thank you, Da Sima." ”
Gongsun Du slowly retreated and walked towards the outside of the palace, and unconsciously, his steps were a little fast.
When he heard it in the Great Sima Mansion, he saw too many things that he couldn't touch before, or even think about, and he was afraid in his heart, he was worried that if he didn't leave, he might not be able to leave!
Not long after Gongsun Du left, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and Zhang Yang entered the Great Sima Mansion one after another, and left in a hurry not long after.
In the small palace, there is a quiet atmosphere of slaughter, and naturally, someone has indeed died.
Outside the palace, it is even more lively.
"Five Thunder True Gods, Subdue Demons and Eliminate Demons!"
The members of the Wudoumi Sect, both men and women, young and old, dressed in black and playing white sails, walked in groups, shouting loudly, beating gongs and drums, shocking the neighbors.
"What's the matter, why did so many people suddenly appear in the Wudou Rice Sect?"
"Yes, I also saw it in the west of the city, back and forth, all of them were fresh faces, all over Luoyang."
"Luoyang City doesn't seem to be big, but it's everywhere, and a few have tens of thousands of people, right?"
"Five Bucket Rice Sect, are there so many?"
"They, what are they going to do?"
Ordinary people can feel that when they become officials, they are more sensitive, and they are unconsciously afraid in their hearts, as if they recall something.
The official position is better, and those who know some inside information are more afraid.
"Let's go, let's go!"
Li Cao Langzhong was a white-haired old man, trembling and skipping work returned to the house, found his old wife who had fallen out of favor for many years, and said urgently: "Quick, pack up your things and get out of the city immediately." ”
Although the old woman fell out of favor, as a wife, she still held the money in the house, and when she heard the words, she just mocked without saltiness: "Didn't you say that I will always be the wife?" Which little lady is this, let our new official lose his soul and divorce his wife? ”
The old man jumped to his feet in a hurry and said, "Nonsense! Something is going to happen, we all have to go, clean up the soft, bury the others in the dry well in the backyard, we will go out of the city today, and go to Jizhou to hide for a year and a half. ”
"Oh, is this messing with the big guys? Is it his wife or concubine? The old woman sat unmoved, still sneering.
The old man was anxious and said, "Do you remember what happened five years ago?" Your brothers have been killed, do you still want to take me and your children? ”
The old woman's eyes widened, she stood up in panic, and said, "Someone is going to slaughter the city again?" ”
Lao Langzhong has always been calm, but his face was full of panic at this time, and he said in a trembling voice: "Almost, almost, hurry up and clean up, it's too late to go!" ”
The old woman was just about to answer, and the old servant who had followed her for many years staggered over and said, "Master, master, it's not good, Yulin Army, the city is closed." ”
The old man sat down on the ground, and muttered to himself in distraction......
Although Lao Langzhong has never been a high-ranking official, he shuttles around the officialdom and can see clearly what high-ranking officials still can't understand.
From this series of things, it is obvious that someone is sharpening their knives and preparing to kill!
"But what can I do?" The old woman and the old man have been fighting all their lives, and they can only hug each other for a while, crying and shouting.
"Yes, yes, yes,"
The old man suddenly got up and said to the old woman: "Hurry up, burn all the things about the Five Bucket Rice Sect in the house, and also, those letters, all of them must be burned clean......
The old woman listened to 'those letters,' and suddenly reacted, and with a whoop, got up and left.
Lao Langzhong sat on the ground, stood up at all, looked up at the rather tall old servant, he was a good old man, his eyes were fierce, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Go, give them a large sum of money to know those things, and let them disappear." ”
The word 'disappear' has a particularly strong bite.
The old servant didn't seem to understand, and was stunned for a while, then he realized and said urgently: "Yes, yes, the villain will do it." ”
The old man looked at his back, and then a spirit.
Outside the courtyard, I remembered the gongs and drums of 'Five Thunder True Gods, Conquer Demons and Eliminate Demons', and the shouts that used to make him refreshed were like a talisman, which made his mouth dry and his heart beat.
