Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Gentleman's Dispute
Lian Jirou noticed Li Yunxing's gaze, turned around and winked at him.
Suddenly, in the crowd, an old man rushed out and grabbed Li Yunxing with excitement.
"His Royal Highness the Prince! It's really you! ”
That old man was Deng Laoweng, who was sent to the hospital for treatment after fainting in the court before.
Later, when he heard that the prince angrily beheaded corrupt officials above the court and returned the people to a bright and prosperous life, Deng Laoweng was excited and burst into tears.
He knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Grass people, meet His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Deng Laoweng's actions shocked the onlookers.
Li Yunxing wanted to help him up, but Deng Laoweng was full of gratitude and resolutely refused.
Li Yunxing had no choice but to stand still and let him kneel and kowtow.
Everyone else also reacted, and they only thought that Li Yunxing was the attendant next to Lian Jirou.
Looking at it now, although Li Yunxing is wearing regular clothes, the royal aura on his body is indeed unique.
Immediately everyone in the street knelt down.
"Prince, Chitose Chitose Chitose!"
"Prince, Chitose Chitose Chitose!"
"Prince, Chitose Chitose Chitose!"
These three chitose voices are different from the routine greetings of the powerful ministers in the court, they are really looking forward to the prince Chitose from the bottom of their hearts.
The crown prince beheaded the corrupt officials in Jingzhou, and he was also the nephew of Liu Zaifu in the current dynasty.
What courage and justice this is.
The people were full of reverence for Li Yunxing in their hearts, and they hated to enshrine this benevolent prince.
Seeing this, Li Yunxing suddenly felt a warm current in his heart.
He raised his hand and motioned for the people to get up, and said, "Everyone, please get up, this palace is the eldest son of heaven, and I can't afford this thousand-year-old gift." ”
When everyone heard this, they got up one after another, looking at Li Yunxing's eyes were still full of eagerness, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, we believe in you!" Corrupt officials in Jingzhou have been purged. In the future, our days will only get better and better, and I believe that the crown prince will definitely be able to bring prosperity to the Wu Dynasty. ”
Hearing these words, Li Yunxing's eyes flashed brightly.
This time, he was really happy for the people of Jingzhou, and at the same time proud of himself.
If it weren't for this flood, he probably wouldn't have been able to experience this unity of unity!
This feeling made him feel even more that the people should not kneel.
If these inside stories had been discovered earlier, perhaps Deng Laoweng's grandson and thousands of victims would not have been displaced.
Lian Jirou hurriedly stepped forward to stop everyone's bowing: "My father once said that the prince is a generation of Ming monarchs, and he never wants to see the people suffer. You don't have to kneel anymore, please get up. ”
"Yes, everyone, please get up, today the palace is not wearing official uniforms, it is an ordinary person, you don't have to be like this."
But no matter how much they were advised, they refused to get up.
Li Yunxing felt a little guilty in his heart, he followed Lian Jirou to the people this time, not to accept the worship of the victims.
On the contrary, he wanted to know more about the suffering of the people, so that he could do his best to solve the problems.
But the people expressed their enthusiasm in another way, and they were willing to use what little strength they had to support the prince.
The people remained stubbornly on their knees, unwilling to get up.
"Listen to me, the prince is out on patrol this time, if you continue to kneel here, then those who have a heart will find out the whereabouts of the prince, and it will bring danger when the time comes." Lian Jirou changed her way of persuasion.
Sure enough, at the mention of the danger that might bring to the crown prince, everyone was worried and raised their heads.
Seeing that the prince's expression seemed to really don't want them to worship anymore, he got up from the ground one after another.
But in his words, he was still grateful to Li Yunxing.
Suddenly, the sound of an explosion sounded overhead.
"Prince!" Lian Jirou was worried that someone had assassinated her, so she immediately pulled Li Yunxing to hide under the eaves.
Li Yunxing raised his head sharply and looked at the sky.
I saw a flying arrow pass through, just hitting the ceramic wine jug, and the explosion sound was caused by the explosion of the wine jug.
Then several flasks flew by, spilling a lot of water stains.
There was a faint aroma of wine in the air, Li Yunxing took a breath, this smell was familiar to him, it was an extremely expensive Jiuyu Spring Wine.
There are clouds in ancient poems, and I am willing to hold nine wines and make a spring.
It is about this Jiuyu spring wine, its body is full and transparent, and there is a faint floral and fruity aroma in it, and a bottle is worth five hundred taels of silver.
Lian Jirou didn't understand the subtlety of this wine, and now she is all about Li Yunxing.
"Is the prince hurt?"
Li Yunxing shook his head, it didn't seem to be coming for him.
The other people were angry and anxious, and some couldn't help but scold, "It's that group of dogs again!" ”
"It's just madness, the prince dares to play this flying arrow drama here!"
"If something happens to the prince, Lao Tzu must kill them!"
Seeing this, Li Yunxing didn't seem to have happened for the first time.
He hurriedly stopped everyone's roar, "Everyone, don't be impatient, what's going on?" ”
At this moment, a lame man walked out of the crowd, and he had the most say in this matter.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you have to be the master for us!"
Li Yunxing frowned, "What's the matter?" Let's start with the details. ”
It was then that the lame man told him about the origin of the arrow.
Originally, the east and west of the city were heaven and earth, but recently a new high-rise building was erected at the junction of the two cities, which was specially prepared for the performance of a hundred operas.
Usually, the flag hanging on the top of the high-rise building is embroidered with a scimitar in the shape of a crescent, and the name of this high-rise building is "Hundred Opera Building".
But the people who went to watch the play were not satisfied with just watching the play.
Nowadays, on the high-rise buildings, there is a popular archery game called "gentlemen's dispute".
If a gentleman has nothing to fight, he will also shoot, and he will rise and drink, and his contention will also be a gentleman.
Archery became their new form of comparison, first as a still life, then as an animal, and then as a live target such as a wine jug.
The flask is thrown into the air, and the two of them release arrows at the same time, and whoever shoots down the most wins.
At first, everyone was a little scrupled, but slowly someone learned and began to participate in such activities.
However, because the Baijulou is at the junction of the east and west of the city, it is naturally impossible for this wine pot to be thrown to the east of the city, so it is thrown to the west of the city like this today.
After that, there was no peace for the people in the west of the city, and there was often the sound of wine jugs falling in the middle of the night.
The sound of "bang-bang-bang" explosions made many people unable to sleep at night.
After listening to this story, Li Yunxing's eyebrows frowned slightly.
Isn't this just seeing that the west of the city is full of poor people, and even if they are not afraid to sue the officials, they act like this?
The lame man continued, "My mother is crazy herself, and it is even more difficult to calm down when they are so frightened. I went to Baixilou to ask them for an explanation. ”
"Unexpectedly, not only did they have no intention of repenting, but they also laughed at me for being just an inferior pariah."
"In a hurry...... I got into a fight with them, and they broke a leg. ”
