Kyoto Luoyang is one of the world's most prosperous, needless to say, although there is a curfew at night, but in terms of the liveliness of the day, there is no other city in Mingwu that can be compared.

Someone in the city once joked that as long as there was the sun in the sky, there would be no one on the streets. As soon as this remark came out, no one refuted it, and it gradually became a topic of conversation with foreigners at the wine table, and the person who said this must seem to be inadvertently indifferent in order to win a few heartfelt sighs.

It's just that the streets of the capital are empty today, and the autumn wind sweeps and can't even roll up a few fallen leaves, which highlights the depression, and the fallen leaves seem to have just left home The children still have attachments, or they are scared by today's wonders and dare not go out.

It was midday, and the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded in the silent streets.

Li Congwen, who was wearing a black robe casually, only felt that his body was hot from the sun, but when the autumn wind blew, he felt cold, which made him feel uncomfortable. But this way it is much more sober, so that you will not fall from your horse so sleepily.

When he thought that Uncle Yang was going to scold the ministers outside the city today, he couldn't help but turn up the corners of his mouth, and he waved his horsewhip on the horse's buttocks, and he didn't even notice the strange scene on the street.

When he came to the city gate, he waved the sign in his hand at several guards and walked away.

The wind outside the city was even stronger, and it was even more biting on horseback, and even the sun overhead was a little uncomfortable.

After riding along the pipeline for a while, Li Congwen was thinking about whether to get off the horse and walk, when he faintly heard a commotion in the distance, and then looked at it from a distance, and he could see figures gathered in front of him.

Not long after riding the horse, he saw two rows of guards standing on both sides of the official road, and they didn't look at Li Congwen, they stood motionless, as if they were standing more steadily with the spear in their hands.

Li Congwen scratched his head, dismounted and passed through the guards, walked a hundred steps, and was stopped by a person on the side of the road, looking dressed like a small official.

The man obviously recognized Li Congwen, stepped forward and smiled: "Why did the third prince come?"

"You are?"

"Under is the Ministry of Rites. ”

Li Congwen nodded and pointed to the guards on the side, "Why are there so many?"

The little official of the Ministry of Rites led the horse to another person to take away, and replied while leading the way: "A few days ago, the news that General Yang was going to interrogate outside the city did not know who spread the news, and today there are many people in the city who come to watch, and the guards should be watching the chaos." ”

Li Congwen nodded, Yang Qi's letter a few days ago said that the truth would be made public today, and it was normal for the people to want to come and see it. Thinking of the scene of Uncle Yang's tongue fighting the ministers, he couldn't help but speed up his pace.

The little official led Li Congwen out of the official road, and it didn't take long to see a group of people who were pressed by the black, although they spoke loudly, they were quite orderly under the control of the officials and guards who appeared from time to time.

Li Congwen wanted to turn around and thank him, but the little official had already left at some point, raised his eyebrows and chuckled, and squeezed into the crowd.

The crowd seems crowded, but in fact they gather in twos and threes, whispering, or talking loudly. Walking forward along the gap for a while, Li Congwen was a little disoriented, he was neither tall nor short, and he could only see the head on tiptoe.

He patted the shoulder of the person in front of him, "Borrowed, borrowed." ”

The man was a fat man, short and fat, but the momentum of this turn was like a general, not angry and arrogant, looking at the expression as if he was saying who touched Lao Tzu?

However, as soon as he saw Li Congwen, a smile immediately appeared on his face, "Oh, isn't this the third son?

"Well, let's take a look. Are you the shopkeeper of Tai Fung House......?

Before Li Congwen finished asking, the fat man grabbed Li Congwen's arm, and shouted while squeezing forward: "The third prince is here, everyone let me!"

I don't know if this fat man can squeeze or what, it really opens a way in the crowd. The two of them did not stop until they reached the front of the crowd, and in front of them stood a row of guards, swords and guns, not squinting.

The fat man let go of Li Congwen's arm, touched the sweat on his forehead, and smiled at Li Congwenmei: "It is worthy of being the third son, and his face in the capital is big." ”

Li Congwen walked in a hurry today without a folding fan, so he had to wave his hand and shake his head, "That's it." ”

He looked left and right, and felt that although there were many people, there was no one in the capital, so he pointed to the crowd and asked, "I don't think there are so many people joining in the fun, why is there no one in the city today?"

"The third prince doesn't know, there are rumors in the city that General Yang may be in a bad situation today, and there will be chaos in the city, so the big guys can't hide at home. ”

"What about these people?"

"Alas, General Yang said that there is something to be made public to the world, and if the people don't come, who will the public hear?"

Li Congwen raised his eyebrows, "Oh, so the court forced you to come?"

"That's not true, Your Majesty and General Yang are here, and it is impossible to mess up the city here. ”

In the eyes of the people, the status of the current saint is equal to that of General Yang, if Li Congwen had been in the past, he would definitely worship Uncle Yang more, but now it is inevitable that he is a little worried.

No longer speaking, he looked forward, and at some point a high platform had been built directly to the north, and the high platform was facing a clearing.

The noonday sun failed to leave a shadow on the empty ground, so it instructed the autumn wind to blow the clouds in the sky, and now the shadow was gone, and half of it was gone.

Li Congwen was in a fugue when he suddenly saw a lot of people walking in the distance, who were ministers of the imperial court. After the ministers stood in order, a father-in-law shouted to the crowd: "Your Majesty has arrived!"

Li Congwen couldn't help but look at the father-in-law twice, and didn't know how his duck voice could be pushed out and shouted.

He was still thinking that the people were not as calm as he was, and after a while of the commotion fell silent.

The fat man beside Li Congwen trembled and turned his hands left and right for half a circle, turned his head and bowed again, and when he saw Li Congwen motionless, he asked: "Third son, should I kneel? Where is Your Majesty, why didn't I see it?"

Li Congwen sneered, "I'll bow down to Buxing, just stand." Besides, who cares about you. ”

The fat man nodded abruptly and began to crane his neck to look around.

At this time, the sound of ceremonial music suddenly sounded from nowhere, and then there was a heavy footstep, and I saw the guards hugging a gorgeous frame and walking to the side of the high platform, Zhao Qinian, who was dressed in a dragon robe, was carried to the chair and sat down, and the curtain was pulled up left and right, and only a vague figure could be seen.

Li Congwen saw that it was Ri Ying, who was dressed as a palace maid, and it was Tai Zheng and Luo Li who pulled the tent, and couldn't help laughing.

The fat man next to him was still regretting that he didn't see a few holy faces, and was bowing his head to show respect, when he saw Li Congwen staring at the emperor and laughed, he glanced at the guards facing the people in front of him, and secretly moved a few steps to the side.

After Zhao Qinian sat down, the hundred officials saluted, and one person stood up and shouted: "Pass Yang Qi!"

It wasn't the eunuch who shouted this time, it seemed that it was either an official from the Criminal Department or the Ministry of Rites.

As soon as the official's voice fell, Li Congwen suddenly felt the ground shake, and looked to the right, hundreds of guards seemed to be surging in a black tide, and Yang Qi walked in the middle of the courtyard.

This is a prisoner, more like a large army marching.
