Chapter 114: The Chu Palace's Comeback, Now It's Different From The Past!
Ah Tai said: "According to our internal intelligence in the DPRK and China, Admiral Tiance went to Chuhe Village, and he was not the only one who went, and Fang Xuanling had all gone. ”
"Oh?" The head of the Li family in Longxi was extremely surprised, and said with a smile: "He is... Went to Chuhe Village to cultivate sex? How? Do you feel that the weather is getting cold, so you go to Chuhe Village to escape the cold? ”
It's summer and it's impossible to be cold.
The head of the Li family in Longxi means that Li Shimin is cold in his heart because he was rebelled by the family.
But...
As soon as these words were spoken.
The head of the Li family in Longxi fell into deep thought.
According to previous information, Quyuan plough and pork were all taken out by Fang Xuanling from Chuhe Village.
He has five surnames and seven disciples, and his intelligence system is also extremely good, so as long as you pay attention, it is easy to know the origin of those divine objects.
Should it be....
At this time, Li Shimin also went to Chuhe Village to look for help, right? However, the books are all controlled by the family, so what can Chuhe Village help?
The head of the Li family in Longxi felt that he had thought too much.
However, Chuhe Village was a product of that man after all.
It's his product....
Suddenly, the eyes of the head of the Li family in Longxi became solemn.
When it comes to the king of Chu, he doesn't dare to be careless, and he can't be careless.
Because half a month ago.
Zheng Jibo, the head of the Zheng family in Xingyang, who had five surnames and seven wangs, personally wrote to him and invited him to help the king of Chu.
Yes, that's right, King Chu!
When the head of the Li family in Longxi heard the news, not to mention how shocked he was, and when he learned that the king of Chu was the mysterious lord of the Great Yan Kingdom, he was even more dumbfounded.
Truly dumbfounded!
People are old.
He has been raising his temperament for more than ten years, and there are few things that can make him feel emotional, and this incident makes him unable to eat for a day.
Why?
What is the basis for this?
How incredible it is that a proton sent to the Turks not only escaped from the Turks, but also became the head of a country.
The historical Yue King Goujian is not so outrageous!
This thing.
The head of the Li family in Longxi couldn't figure it out after thinking about it for a few days, but what he could be sure of was that the king of Chu would make a comeback, have a battle with Li Shimin, and avenge the revenge of the year!
As the head of the five-surnamed Qiwang family, it is also time for him to choose a side.
Originally, the head of the Li family in Longxi chose Li Shimin, mainly because Li Shimin had black spots for them to catch, and they could be coerced.
And that man, the king of Chu ....
He can go from a medium to the establishment of a country, is such a person they can control?
Moreover, the news of the Great Yan Kingdom from outside shocked their family.
Over there.
It is gathering a group of losers, slaves captured by the Turks, refugees who starved to death last year, slaves for many years, displaced people, etc.
The people who formed it were all those who hated their family to the core, just because their family made them like this.
Most of them are not direct impacts, but they are mostly indirect.
Those people are the people their family looks down on, but they are....the core people of the Great Yan Empire!
Those people have already gained power, if they make a comeback, how can they easily let go of their family?
This is the main reason.
There are other reasons, such as the news that Cheng Yanjin sent back, what men and women study together, land distribution, etc., isn't every measure of Dayan unfavorable to their family?
So.
really wants to stand on the side of Li Shimin and Li Kuan, he firmly chooses Li Shimin.
But recently, Li Shimin has become more and more out of control, he seems...more and more want to get rid of their family, not in his mind, if he thinks in his mind, it doesn't matter, after all, which emperor in history doesn't want to get rid of the family?
But have the emperors been removed?
No!
Just think, and only dare to think!
That's why it has created a thousand-year-old family and a century-old court.
And Li Shimin is different, he has been....in all aspects of the action, there is a move to get rid of them....
"Hehe, Li Shimin, I hope you don't force our family to death, otherwise, we still have the option of taking a step back, choosing Li Kuan, and helping him overthrow you."
"Just like Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty back then, he wanted to get rid of us through the imperial examination, and our family directly supported your Li family to usurp the throne."
"The Li family can be beautiful today, but it can't be separated from the help of our clan, I hope you....can remember the lessons of your predecessor."
The face of the head of the Li family in Longxi was gloomy.
Although he doesn't want to vote for Li Kuan, at least he votes for Li Kuan, Li Kuan will not be as extreme as Li Shimin, and his family will not be uprooted, at most he is not as powerful as before.
The contrast between the two is that everyone knows how to choose.
Just when the head of the Li family in Longxi was thinking about it, a guard hurriedly walked in.
"Master, big deal! Something big has happened!! ”
The head of the Li family in Longxi looked back, snorted coldly, and said, "Panic, what kind of system!" ”
The guard was immediately frightened.
The head of the Li family in Longxi glanced at him, and he taught him a lesson, after all, the guards are carefully selected, not a particularly big thing, and it will not be so outrageous.
"Tell me, what happened to make you so flustered."
"Yes..Yes." Jiawei was kneeling, bowing his head and saying, "It's the emperor's list!" Li Shimin issued the emperor list! said that it was twelve o'clock at noon tomorrow, and he would show up at the gate of the imperial city, and the content of what he said was said to be related to the imperial examination! ”
"What!" The head of the Li family in Longxi stared wide-eyed.
Stunned, shocked!
He couldn't believe it was true.
This, this, this, how long has it been since the imperial examination was promulgated?
Few days? Ten days? Hold him to death for ten days!
Li Shimin is going to publicly explain the matter of the imperial examination?
And now, the whole city of books is banned from the United States, there are no books to circulate in the market, Li Shimin's intention to summon the people at this time is obvious, don't think about it, it must be to announce the suspension of the imperial examination.
"This! Hahaha, Li Jiaerlang, he is really bent and stretched. ”
"I knew that if I continued, I wouldn't be able to help those scholars get books, so I broke my wrist and announced the suspension of the imperial examination on the spot without hesitation."
"Tut-tut, the national policy of the imperial examination has lasted for a maximum of ten days, this time....it's really long enough."
"The imperial court, the order is changed day and night, I don't know what the people think of the court, and what they think of you Li Jiaerlang."
The head of the Li family in Longxi was amazed.
The more I thought about it, the more comfortable I felt.
Comfortable!
It's so comfortable!
It's been a long time since he saw Li Shimin admit it so quickly.
After all, that's Admiral Tiance! The god of war on the horse of his life!
Now it seems that Li Shimin is also fighting a lot of wars, and he is still far from governing the country.
At this moment.
There is a story about Li Shimin going to dedicate himself at the gate of the imperial city at 12 o'clock at noon tomorrow, as if he was plugged in his wings, and passed crazy in Chang'an City.
Suzaku Street.
It has been about ten days since the bookstores in the city closed.
Today's Suzaku Street is full of people with stray eyes.
Many people who had just arrived in Chang'an and did not know the truth also learned through inquiries that the imperial examination had just been announced some time ago, but the bookstores in the city were closed.
It's the whole city's families, and they're bullying them!
I feel the same way, and I am extremely angry!
"What's more, these sons of bitches of the family, as well as those who are old and immortal, rely on the little power in their hands to bully us scholars with no background! Even, oppress us!! ”
"Yes, this is special....none of these officials have a good thing, the last time I passed by and heard an official say that they wrote a letter to His Majesty, saying that farming makes the people very happy, I special... I really want to slap him, I've been reduced to the bottom of farming, and I'm still happy? ”
"I can't say that, there are a lot of bad officials, but there are also good ones, I have internal intelligence, the last time the locust plague families refused to give food, it was His Majesty who opened the treasury to distribute food, and only then did he rescue the victims in the north, I think this must be a waste of effort for His Majesty, with Your Majesty here, we Datang, there is no chaos!"
"Damn! Damn it! These families are damned! ”
"yes, they're all vampires! Suck the blood of our people and the scholars! ”
"Your Majesty can promulgate the imperial examination policy at this time, which shows that it is for us ordinary people and scholars, and finally there is a fair competition for the imperial examination, so that people like us can also become officials, but they are all broken! Damn, damn it! Now I only hope that His Majesty can find a solution. ”
"I'm waiting for a lowly status, a humble family, a meaningless life day after day, really....with a lifetime?!"
The people were talking.
Negative rhetoric is everywhere.
The family and the people are two groups that can never be reconciled.
It's like.
The children of the family are in the palace, not exposed to the wind and sun, and enjoy the usual offerings from the poor people outside, so that they can move out of the palace to live a poor life, no one can stand it.
And the people have been working as cattle and horses outside the palace, and they are very envious of the palace life inside, and they are extremely eager to enter the palace life.
But resources are always limited.
If you are out of class and enjoy a better life, it means that someone will be pulled down by you and live a poor life.
As a result, the people in the palace are always increasing the city defense to protect their existing lives, while the people outside are also desperate and trying all kinds of ways to live inside.
Therefore, the family and the people can never be reconciled.
From the Warring States period to the present, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign.
The same is true.
The only lesson that mankind has learned from history is that mankind has not learned any lessons from history and will always repeat the mistakes of the past, because human nature has not changed since ancient times.
Negative emotions spread among the common people and readers.
And the children of the family who are fortunate enough to be in the nearby restaurant, or other nearby places, can't help but smile when they see the complaining people and scholars.
At the same time, rejoice,
I come from a family, not these humble families in front of me.
Nothing has changed.
The negativity persists.
It wasn't until it was close to the afternoon [3-4 p.m.] that a team of Jin Wuwei armor walked from far and near, and the military posture was solemn and neat into Suzaku Street.
Everyone looked at them, wondering why Jin Wuwei, who was in the palace, appeared outside the imperial city.
"Your Majesty has an order! Knowing the changes in the bookstores in Chang'an City today, His Majesty has already understood it, and will give an explanation to all the readers in the world at noon tomorrow! ”
The leader of Jin Wuwei held the imperial list high in the sky, spoke loudly, and after finishing speaking, he posted the imperial list at the door of the Chu River Restaurant.
The voice fell.
In a split second.
Startled!
Astound!
Agitated!
There are even people who laugh heroically!
When all the people and scholars heard that the Son of Heaven knew about the bookstore, they were so excited that they danced.
"Hahaha, Your Majesty knows! Your Majesty, he knows that we don't have any books for sale in the city! ”
"Yes, yes, that means that those traitors did not deceive Your Majesty, or......they could not deceive Your Majesty so sage!"
"Your Majesty will explain to us, and with Your Majesty's attitude towards us, you can definitely give a solution! We're going to have a book to read! ”
"Hahaha, celebrate all over the world, celebrate all over the world!"
The people were excited.
Although they are in a lowly position, they have eyes to see what those in power do.
Just like the emperor Yang Guang of the previous dynasty, the people did not see each other with their own eyes, but they can know from their decrees that they were cruel and unkind.
And Li Shimin, all kinds of government decrees are biased towards the people, and at this time they speak out about the imperial examination, how can they be unhappy?
But....
They are indeed bright-eyed, but at the same time, there are more things they don't know, such as the Quyuan plough and pork are all from the hands of the King of Chu, and it was Admiral Tiance who stole his fruits and distributed them to the people of the world.
Admiral Tiance ....
He is so powerful in their hearts, and he thinks about them, but who can really know that he is a thief?
This is a complex person, perhaps everyone is complex, and it is never as simple as it seems.
"Hmph, bunch of idiots."
"I live in my own fantasy world."
At the same time, the children of the family in the restaurant snorted coldly with disdain, very disdainful.
Those people don't know the truth, they know, all the books in Chang'an City are in the hands of major families, where did Li Shimin get the books? Even if the sky falls, there must be a sound! But now there is no sound!
And Li Shimin promulgated the imperial list, and he will give an explanation tomorrow, and the only possibility is to cancel the imperial examination.
This is the difference in information gaps.
The people don't know the truth, they don't know that the books in Chang'an City are controlled by the family, and they only know that His Majesty speaks, and that is a good policy for them, because it was like this before.
And the children of the family know that the books are in the hands of the major families, and it will take time for Li Shimin to get books from other cities, and it is impossible to get them tomorrow, the only possibility is to make fun of the imperial examination.
Different information differences, different ideas.
But the two waves of people were all smiling.
"Hehe, I really want to see these stupid people, tomorrow I hear Li Shimin, whom they have the most high hopes on, say the expression after the cancellation of the imperial examination."
Some children of the family smiled happily, their eyes narrowed slightly, and continued: "What kind of expression will you have when the time comes, disappointed?" Helpless? Frustrate? Hehe, that's a really interesting picture. ”
"Yes, yes, these Diao people still want to be on an equal footing with our family elders by virtue of a broken imperial examination, let's dream! Our major families, such as the five surnames and seven wangs for a long time, have existed for thousands of years, and the shorter ones have several generations. ”
There are also children of the family who speak out, believing that their family's current status is the efforts of their ancestors, and it is reasonable and reasonable that they cannot be defeated by a paper answer.
The uproar and turmoil continued.
At this time, there were people everywhere who were happy and weeping with joy.
General Jin Wuwei looked at these people and couldn't help but smile.
At this time, a subordinate came up to remind him.
"General, it's time for us to go to the next location to post the Emperor's List."
General Jin Wuwei regained his serious expression, took a deep breath, and said loudly: "Go!" ”
Wave your hand and lead the team away.
Only two Jin Wuwei were left to maintain order and protect the imperial list from being torn apart by those who wished to do so.
After they left, the people completely let go of their hands and feet, and they were extremely excited, and people they didn't know each other hugged each other and danced hand in hand.
Tianlin Restaurant, second floor.
A silver-haired woman watched this scene in front of the window, and sighed: "How could the imperial list of the imperial court be posted in our restaurant?" It's really scared to death. ”
This silver-haired woman, if there are high-level officials of the Chu Palace, they will definitely recognize her as one of the twelve nights, noon horse!
Wuma still has a stunning face like that, but there is a big difference between her appearance and before, mainly because she has changed her appearance.
Look at the people around her, the green mule and the remnants of the Chu Wangfu are all among them, this restaurant is opened by the Chu Wang's department!!
Back then, the chief asked everyone to withdraw from Chang'an City as quickly as possible, and now they are turning back, mainly because the intelligence network has been restored.
Back then, the Chu King lost the King of Chu, and the dragons had no leader, resulting in a crippled body, and at the same time losing the intelligence network, just like this crippled body had no eyes, how could it not gather strength back?
And now that it has returned, it is already the intelligence network that has almost recovered with the help of the Zheng family.
As soon as there is a stir, the intelligence agencies will pass on information to them and let them retreat safely.
Therefore.
Chang'an City regained the eyes of the Chu Wangbu.
At this time.
An elegant woman, holding a guqin, walked over, and said with a smile: "Wuma, Admiral Tiance's move has brought popularity to my Tianlin Restaurant, and now it is Shen Shi, I just saw that there are not many customers in the restaurant, but at this time a swarm of people came in." ”
Although the woman's demeanor is elegant, if you look closely, it will give people a sense of both good and evil, as if she is a two-faced person written on her face.
And she is one of the new twelve-night people who have been in office for nearly three months, codename, Youji!
And before she became a rooster, she also had a reputation in the rivers and lakes, and was called a half-evil piano by the people in the rivers and lakes.
This time I joined the Chu King Department....
Or is it because that man, the personality charm of the King of Chu is too great, there are too many people, they want to follow him under his command, accompany him to conquer the world, and accompany him....willing to die!
That is a legendary man, as if there are still people in later generations who are celebrity fans such as Huo Quzhi and Qin Shi Huang, and they can't bear to see their idols humiliated, and the King of Chu is also among them, and he is also a celebrity.
And the difference is that he is.... A living legend!
The green mule came over at this time, touched his head, and said with emotion: "Rooster, it's because there are more guests, so I'm worried, I haven't rested for long, and I have to be busy again, and I'm tired to death." ”
The rooster's beautiful eyes flickered, and he asked tentatively, "Then, do you need my help?" ”
The green mule shook his head with a smile and said, "No need, I'm just complaining and complaining, you have a good rest today, keep your spirits up, maybe tomorrow or the next few days, it's time for you to play." ”
The rooster pursed his red lips, lowered his chin and said, "Okay, I know." ”
………………
Changsun Mansion.
Since the matter of the imperial examination was tied by the world.
The eldest grandson Wuji summoned Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui and many pro-Li faction officials, and discussed the way to break the situation from that day until now, but there has been no result.
One word, sorrowful.
Their own interests can be said to be tied to His Majesty, and they will prosper and lose both.
If the imperial examination cannot be carried out, it will be a failure for them and His Majesty.
"Damn, really, is there nothing you can do?"
"Yes....there is no way, all the books are controlled by the family, it's all the books, we, how to turn the tables?"
"Indeed, there is a need to pay attention to the possibility of turning the tables, in our hands, in addition to the books at home, and some books from some people outside, where else can we get books? And with the existing stock of books in our hands, we can't supply the readers in Chang'an City at all, and even scrape together thousands of books and give them out, those readers will still think that our court is choked by the throat of the family, and we can only get these thousands of books, and those families will make fun of us endlessly, so it is better not to send them. ”
"Anyway, for the sake of today's plan, it seems to....maybe, only the only thing left is to cancel the imperial examination, although we are very unwilling, but we....really failed."
Looking at the officials who were not optimistic, the eldest grandson Wuji didn't know what to say.
After all.
Even he himself was already thinking about persuading His Majesty to cancel the imperial examination.
Right now.
An eldest grandson servant walked in the door and leaned into the ear of the eldest grandson Wuji and whispered a few words.
Eldest Sun Wuji's eyes widened instantly, and he hurriedly said, "Quick, quickly invite Commander Li in." ”
"Yes, sir."
The servant hurriedly bowed and retired.
At this time, many officials were surprised.
Wei Zheng asked, "Eldest grandson, what's wrong?" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head and said, "The old man doesn't know, he only knows that Li Junxian is coming." ”
Li Junxian!
Although the official position is not big, he is the commander of Jin Wuwei!
The arrival of his Li Junxian often represents His Majesty's orders.
All the officials' eyes twinkled.
Soon.
Li Junxian, who was dressed in elite armor, walked in the door, and when he saw that there were many officials here, he was slightly stunned, and immediately laughed.
"Eldest grandson, I really didn't expect there to be so many officials in your house, so it also saves Li from running around."
The eldest grandson Wuji was a little surprised.
"Oh? Your Majesty is not only looking for an old man?! ”
Li Junxian nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty wants to find all the officials present, all the officials of the family, and even more so all the people of Chang'an City!" ”
"Your Majesty, I will inform you about the results of this imperial examination at noon tomorrow!"
The voice fell.
The eyes of all the officials widened instantly.
Unwilling!
Helpless!
Impotence!
Should it come, or did it come?
They didn't find a solution to the matter of promulgating the imperial examination at this juncture, and the only way His Majesty could find it was to cancel it.
so
It's good, it's good!
The province is constantly interrupted, but it is chaotic.
This imperial examination, it is not like that if it has been dragged on, it is time to end.
