After entering the Shicui Pavilion, Lu Zangyong has been trying to gain the right to speak.But after all, his talent and writing skills are no better than Song Zhiwen's, and he has been suppressed so that he has no way to get ahead.

So this time when King Linzi proposed this matter, Lu Zangyong was extremely enthusiastic, not only to attack the mainstream vision, but also to snatch the right to speak in the Shicui Pavilion.

The empress dowager of Dongdu will pass away at any time, and the state funeral will be held at any time. In order not to miss this hot spot, Lu Zangyong is also very attentive. In less than ten days, he sorted out a first draft, and then led several young scholars he admired to pay homage to the residence of the King of Linzi.

Li Longji received everyone in the mansion, not to mention his true mood, but his attitude was polite.They sat down in the middle of the hall, and after some greetings, he was about to read the manuscript that Lu Zangyong had handed in, but a person walked out from the table, raised his hand and pressed the manuscript on the table, looked straight at Li Longji and said, "My lord If you open this volume, don't you fear that Xiang Wang's heroic spirit will be disturbed?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of Li Longji, Lu Zangyong and others in the hall changed suddenly, but the reasons for their shock were different.

"What evil words did Cui Chenglan say! Hurry up and back down..."

Lu Zangyong had personally experienced the years of power struggle between the two capitals, and knew that this remark violated the deepest taboo, after hearing this remark, he was already frightened out of his wits, so he hurriedly stood up and reprimanded him.

However, Li Longji just raised his eyes and looked at him at the same level. After the corner of his mouth trembled, he opened his mouth and said in a calm voice: "Who is under your feet? How dare you discuss my family affairs in person!"

"Cui Shi, Boling, is not a weapon. The rest of the punishment is not worthy of the king's teeth. The heavenly family has private interests? Although the remaining son of the Xing family, he is not a barbarian. His father died from the river east of Yuwang. Suffering the crime of rebellion, according to this story, will the king accept a word?"

The man took a small step back, made a long salute, and then looked up at Li Longji, saying in a tragic tone: "Since you enter this gate today, if you don't come out with high spirits to bring order to the society, you will be the sin of harming the country and plotting chaos." The thieves were slaughtered with their dead bodies! Whether it is punishment or reward, it is only up to the king to read it!"

Although Li Longji had some guesses, but after hearing this, the vigilance on his face eased a little, he raised his hand and knocked on the case table, strong slaves poured out from the left and right sides, and completely surrounded the hall.

Chapter 1047 Seize the river and occupy Shu, advance and retreat with evidence

Seeing that King Linzi waved his hand, so many strong soldiers appeared on the hatchback, everyone in the hall became panicked.

Lu Zangyong lost all his tolerance, he hurriedly knelt down in the hall, kowtowed repeatedly, and shouted: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty... Cui Shizhuzi's crazy talk, we really have nothing to do with it!"

Cui Shi watched the battle, his complexion changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure, and his eyes suddenly brightened, looking straight at King Linzi who was still seated in the seat.

"Kaiyuan seeks to be strong inside and outside the world, and today's saints are the masters of ZTE that are admired by all. What is the difference between good and evil? The civil and military dynasties of the Manchu Dynasty are full of talents, and they all work hard to serve the country. Why bother with wild words and wild words! Cui A certain person knocked on the door for a visit, and I treated him with courtesy, but dared to speak out in anger in my hall, how can the law and justice of the country tolerate you!"

When the crowd poured in, Li Longji stood up and pointed at Cui Shi and said sharply.

"What a family member, what a great king of Linzi! What a pity for Cui's life, he only laughs at the king's self-deception and pretending to be true! Although he is a humble member, he still has the freedom to enjoy the music. The king is a family member. Have you ever seen the spring of the world in the next year? This morning, the willows in Bashang are red or green, can your majesty know and see it?"

Facing King Linzi's reprimand, Cui Shi just sneered, with no fear on his face, but full of sarcasm: "The law of the country governs all people, but the king does not enter into it. If it is not for the support of public opinion and justice in the world, The king is afraid that he has long followed the previous king, so how can he enjoy the charity and keep him in captivity? Good medicine is bitter, and loyal words are hard to hear. Isn't it a blessing that the king can still face the loneliness and anger of the world? Even if he sees his crime because of this , I will not resent the king, just blame me for my short-sightedness and inhumanity after all!"

Their eyes collided with each other, and after a while, Li Longji sat back in the table, pointed at Cui Shi and said with a smile: "I don't care about my feelings, just because of this bravery, Cui Lang is worthy of my banquet."

"Since someone speaks out, he should make a contribution. If he cannot be appreciated by the king, he will be ashamed and unbearable to be treated with courtesy."

However, Cui Shi did not follow Linzi King's offer to sit down at the table. He still stood in the hall and continued: "I don't take what the king said about Kaiyuan Zhongxing. Every prosperous world must have its original source. Today's income country, Originally, the origin is strange, so it is difficult to follow the integrity of the technique. The reason why Zi wins the red is because of her seductiveness. Kaiyuan politics is no exception. "

Hearing this, Li Longji's curiosity was immediately aroused. With a playful smile on his face, he pointed to Cui Shi and said, "Wild men are used to making wild remarks, but few can make sense. The world criticizes There is no shortage of politicians, but such determination as Cui is an anomaly. It is obvious to all that Kaiyuan prospered, and no matter how critical you are, it will never be wiped out!"

"Your Majesty has this view, but he is only obsessed with superficiality and vulgarity. In my opinion, there are three major mistakes in the use of martial arts today. One is heavy punishment and shames morality, the other is flattering the crowd and losing soldiers, and the third is aggressiveness Irresponsible. Severe punishment makes people fearful, seduces the public to confuse right and wrong, and uses force to waste people's wealth."

Cui Shi also prepared for this opportunity for a long time. At this time, when he heard King Linzi's doubts, he first threw out his own conclusions, and then analyzed them one by one: "Everyone in the dynasty is based on moral education and punishment. Supplemented by decrees, people know honor and shame, and morality is emotional, and criminal litigation is naturally out of order. However, since the Kaiyuan era, the teachings have been destroyed and the law has been destroyed, and only the decrees have been updated year by year. How can we be able to produce with peace of mind if we violate the rules at every turn?

The classics and righteousness, the gentleman's Taoist instrument, the treasure of the famous family, the ancestors poorly analyzed the scriptures, and the later generations strictly followed them. This is why the hometown admires this family style and respects the famous family.In today's world, engraving and obscenity are used to publish and publish indiscriminately. No matter how high or low, everyone loves it. How can you cherish what you find?Treasures passed down from generation to generation by famous families, the rules that gentlemen abide by, so there is no solemnity, those who are clever and flattering sell for glory, and those who defend the way become fools!Scholars have a common way, but escape in the wild.

The major events of the country lie in sacrifice and Rong.In ancient times, the king used martial arts. He first prayed to heaven and earth, then told his ancestors, and then discussed with his subjects, before he could make a decision and be powerful.Since Kaiyuan, conquests have been rampant and labor labor has been frequent. Even if there is no provocative family, they must be armed.In all directions of the world, where are Tang Jia haunted?The people's food and clothing are scarce, and the ancestral temple's income is only a few wild lands and uncultured people.All the obscenity and martial arts in the past dynasties have never surpassed Kaiyuan!

Excuse me, my lord, may I ask you gentlemen, can such Kaiyuan be called Zhongxing?Such a master, can he be called Mingjun?I only see flowers blossoming, fueling the flames, and fishing is exhausted. There will be no fish next year, and the catastrophe of sudden loss is not far away! "

Words are powerful. At the beginning, everyone in the hall had their own scheming plans and just wanted to get away from this frightening scene, but with Cui Shi's generous speech, they gradually showed a thoughtful expression, obviously It was because of Cui Shi's argument that aroused speculation in his heart.

When I started to think in my heart, the uneasiness caused by the current scene was reduced, and there was a somewhat discussion atmosphere instead.

After Cui Shi finished his narration, a young man who came with him couldn't help but said: "Cui Lang's argument, although somewhat reasonable, is by no means in line with the general idea! Since the emperor came to heaven, the country There are many turmoil in the dynasty. Only when the saints rose up in this world and bravely settled the chaos, the Tang family had ten years of stability. The rebuilding of the temple and the revival of the country are such great achievements that can be learned from heaven and man. The talents flow out, the monarch and his ministers work together, and long-term governance can be expected!"

People in the opposition are always somewhat cynical and dissatisfied with the world, but no matter how tricky and harsh the perspective is, they must admit that the merits and demerits of today's saints are at least three to seven, and the merits outweigh the demerits.

When Cui Shi heard this, he just sneered and said: "Those who are shallow will wait for the future, and those who are ambitious will strive for the present! Is it true that today's political mistakes are just an expedient measure to avoid chaos and seek governance? That's why we need the original version." Tracing back to the source, the source is clear, and only the future can be predicted! The emperor has his own heir, filial piety is premature, Zhang Zong was killed by Shaorui, Luling was destroyed by irritability, and the king was harmed by Renshu, who is the most sympathetic among the heirs? I am king!

Originally, the young treasure of the family was rich and honored, but unfortunately Tang Ye entrusted him with an inhumane person. The demon queen blatantly seized the country, and all the leaders were lost. Only Xiang Wang endured the humiliation to save him.Destiny's pity is also gathered alone as the King of Prime Ministers.Today's superior is not a descendant, nor is he a descendant, relying on evil feelings to advance himself, relying on the demon atmosphere to build momentum, if there is no demon queen to harm the country before, how can there be a chaotic heir?

Who can deny the depths of the Wu family's misfortune to the country?Today, I am lucky to take advantage of the situation. I am called the honorable master of the Tang family, but in fact I am a filial grandson of the demon queen. She was born in a magpie's nest and worshiped as a dove.For the crime of destroying temples in ancient times, how many people were not punished by excision?The demon queen can only rely on this protection, and her life and name are complete, so the people who generously died in order to protect Tang's heirs, what can they ask for and get!

In today's history, there are all kinds of turmoil, but you are independent, and you use branches to seize the ancestors. Sincerely, you are an inexhaustible talent.Therefore, using criminal techniques to reduce virtue and righteousness, pleasing miscellaneous people to drive out famous families, and using martial arts to exhaust the people of the country, it is impossible to distinguish right from wrong, morality cannot be upheld, and internal and external are irresistible. "

Li Longji was just listening to the case at first, but when he heard this, he finally couldn't hold back and stood up, looking at Cui Shi with admiration, and walked into the hall in person, facing Cui Shi with a long bow and a long sigh He said: "People are in turmoil, and it's hard to tell the straight from the right. Even Xiao Wang is confused by it. He only knows that the general trend of the world must be like this. Cui Lang's discussion of the situation is enlightening and deafening. Let me, a lost fool, know the way forward. , the advice is profound, please accept a gift!"

Cui Shi's remarks not only made the king of Linzi very excited, but also the other people present were shocked after listening.In particular, I heard Cui Shi's argument that the saint's emphasis on martial arts is to weaken the people of the country and make it difficult for the country to fight. This kind of view is really amazing, but combined with his remarks, it seems to be true.

Sure enough, when they looked at Kaiyuan politics from this perspective, they immediately had different feelings. They only felt that the so-called Kaiyuan Zhongxing achieved only a sage, and the people were labored by the complicated laws and conscripts, and the aristocratic clan lost their power and authority.

Cui Shi stood upright at the original place, accepted the gift from the King of Linzi safely, and then sat down at the table under the vain support of the King of Linzi, and then said: "Speaking of which, the King still doesn't read this volume of unreasonable anthology. ?”

Li Longji smiled wryly after hearing the words, and sighed again: "Cui Lang's argument is indeed profound, but I'm just a bird and beast trapped in a cage. Although I know what to do, but I can't follow it. I will inevitably succumb in the end!"

Cui Shi's argument is indeed beautiful. After all, people must live in their own sense of justice. Even strong bandits who rob houses and houses must force a so-called robber to have a way.

Although Li Longji has made up his mind to act illegally, he also needs to find a legitimacy for his choice of behavior. Cui Shi's remarks have solved this problem very well. Even if it is just a strong word, it can also be used as a spiritual program .

But no matter how beautiful the plan is, it cannot provide direct human support after all. He still needs a certain amount of time to brew and plan.

Cui Shi also knew that he couldn't get things done with only one evil theory, so he had other preparations.Hearing the complaint from the King of Linzi, he took out another scroll from his side and handed it over, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please read this scroll first."

Li Longji reached out to take it, and after unfolding the volume, he found that it was a Fu text called "Ode to the Dove Bird".The whole article is condemning the evil bird Jiuniao. Although there is no specific personnel involved in the whole article, it is full of accusations between the lines of Wu's demon empress dove occupying the magpie's nest and replacing Zhou Dynasty with Tang Dynasty.

But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that this essay cites a large number of current poems and sentences.Although the original poems did not discuss this matter, when the chapters and sentences were intercepted and added to the prose, the meaning of the original chapters and sentences changed, as if it was really scholars who condemned the crimes of the demon queen.

In other words, as long as this prose is circulated, even if the imperial court wants to pursue it, all the scholars involved in the prose will be affected and it will be difficult to defend themselves.People like Song Zhiwen who ignored his summons at all, as well as literary masters like Chen Ziang and Zhang Shuo, were all involved.

Li Longji pondered for a while, then wanted to understand the viciousness of Cui Shi's plan. Although it was just a slander and bluff, the impact on the world would never be small, and it might even directly kill some timid people who are not firm enough in mind. And so on, get on board!

In addition, Cui Shi made further remarks: "Although the expedition in Mobei has inspired the people of the country, Zhang Renyuan appointed by the imperial court is good at attacking but not good at giving compensation, and he is old and short-lived. Potential, unwilling to be gentle. Although silently captured, Hu's power has not dissipated, benevolence is willing to rely on the strong for a short shirt, the short is more than a month, and the long is a season, and the Hu is bound to be irritable again! Although it is difficult for the people who lose their ambitions to be a serious problem, but for us. A person in need is also a help!"

While speaking, Cui Shi also dipped in tea and quickly wrote on the case: "Capture the king of Tong, reject the coffin, seize the river with great power, occupy Shu with weak power, and have evidence to advance and retreat."

If Li Longji had reservations about Cui Shi just now, he was really shocked after seeing the words on the case.Although he was unwilling to stand still, he also knew that the sage was in great danger, and it was by no means that the people he gathered hastily could match it. Therefore, a more core plan was to disrupt Guanzhong and retreat to occupy Shuzhong.

Surrounded by mountains on all sides in central Shu, roads are not smooth, and it has been prone to chaos and stability since ancient times, with stubborn separatist regimes.Moreover, in order to ensure the suppression of local forces, the imperial court never set up heavy troops, which is definitely the best way out.As long as he can coax a group of people to cross the Qinling Mountains, all the plans in the future will be fruitful.

More importantly, Yizhou in the middle of Sichuan also has a Feiqian treasury. If it can be controlled, even if it only has a few weak people, it is enough to negotiate with the imperial court.

Cui Shi's judgment on the general trend has inspired Li Longji a lot, and now he coincides with himself in the core plan. For a while, Li Longji couldn't help but have the idea of ​​using him as a confidant.There are not many people he can trust, and Cui Shi is undoubtedly the best choice in terms of resourcefulness and attitude!

When Li Longji and Cui Shi met each other late in Linzi Wang's mansion and conspired to have a good time together, Jingying Lang Quan Chulin and several colleagues, relatives and friends rode horses outside the city for a leisurely stroll.

Maybe it's because of a change in mood and a bigger plot, Quan Chulin's whole demeanor has changed now, he is no longer the indecisive and sluggish appearance of previous years, there is a sense of heroism in Gu Pan .

"In the past, all the mountains and rivers in the suburbs of Beijing were owned by each family. Who has it belonged to now? The predecessors philosophized that the brilliance of a gentleman will be cut off for five generations. When I was young, I couldn't understand it deeply when I read it. Now that I have encountered difficulties in the world, I know Gu Xiancheng Don’t lie to me! Back then, all the families in the Guanzhong swore to each other, which family didn’t have a son who shed blood and promised a big plan, so that my Guanzhong door can be proud of the world!”

Quan Chu Lin Lema stood on the hillside, overlooking the farmlands and forests below the slope. He couldn't help feeling the past and talking about the present: "The Tang family won the country, but the power of the Li family? The old ones made an agreement to share the country, and now the property has been robbed. The punishment order is pressing, and the old folks' families, how many of them are still able to survive today? Today, the government has won the country by aiding the chaos, and its actions are even more harsh. The Nan Yamen are abolished, the government guards are completely abolished, and they use tricks to bully people, so the old days are uneasy. But I Guan Zhongerlang, what he lacks most is the courage to start all over again, he used to serve Yang Duozhou, and Li replaced Yang, but now he abandons me, I will look forward to another future!"

"The king of Linzi is restless, and wants to discuss the destiny again, but he lost his relatives and the public, so it is doomed to fail. Even so, the world can see the ugly state of his clan and relatives killing each other. It is very difficult for the world to decide to seize the country in chaos. Shaking, using the enemy to occupy the territory is really a bad plan. But its prestige is lost, and Tubo has already made an agreement with me. As long as there is chaos in the pass, the country will send out soldiers to help me. I have Longyou, and I have Qinghai. , to wait for the change of the sky."

Speaking of this, Quan Chulin looked at several of his comrades and said: "If things are not done right, it will not last long. Hijacking the King of Linzi is the most important thing. After the incident, remember not to be separated from each other. Today, the abuse of famous families Huimin's family, the local conditions in the pass cannot be relied on, only the support of the Hu public can win the battle. Zuo Rong told me that the rest of the Turkic people will still be restless, and then it will be a good opportunity to fight for the future!"

After several people heard the words, they all responded positively, and Quan Chulin couldn't help sighing: "The sage has made great achievements in the country's survival and revitalization, but it is precisely because of this that he underestimates the ambitions of ordinary people. Disharmony between clansmen, Yuan Cong Sad and restless, but he is a little bit slow to show respect to everyone, and kindness comes before prestige, so there is no room for us to use schemes and schemes? Even more than before, the king's kindness is hard to admire, so I can only seek my own future!"

Chapter 1048 Birds hurt the valley, hoarding must be punished

Since Kaiyuan, the daily production and living conditions of Chang'an residents have also undergone great changes.

In previous years, there were not many options for livelihood. Those who had land could cultivate it, while those without land could either be tenants or slaves.Most of the land in the suburbs of Beijing was collected by private households, and the living space for small farmers was extremely small, so a large number of landless people flooded into the city.

However, within the capital city, prosperity and poverty are two different worlds, and the labor positions that can be provided are really limited. Therefore, many unemployed wandering food roam among the squares, causing great security risks.The wealthy squares where some dignitaries live are still down, while the folk squares are a bit chaotic.

Chang'an's city plan is huge, but it is not comprehensive enough to take care of people's livelihood.Some districts in the south of the city are simply deserted and uninhabited. It’s not that the people don’t love the prosperity of Gyeonggi under the feet of the emperor. It’s that they can’t even guarantee the food and clothing supply. In addition to all kinds of official servants, they have to endure the oppression of all kinds of heroes and bullies exploit.

The biggest change after Kaiyuan compared with before is the emergence of a large number of official and private workshops.Sifang materials are gathered in Gyeonggi, and they must be manipulated by craftsmen to become best-selling products in Sifang.

These workshops only need to provide large or small venues, refined or simple tools, and various materials, and they can accommodate a lot of labor in exchange for money.The people no longer need to be tied up in the mulberry fields, but if they have a skill, they can stay all year round and have food and clothing.

This change in the urban dwelling model has also led to a surge in the permanent population in Chang'an City. The originally idle houses are all full of residents, and even seem a bit crowded.

The increase in the population of a large number of cities has brought about a strong demand for daily consumables.Although not everyone may be able to live a rich life of meat, poultry, eggs, and milk, basic daily necessities such as firewood, rice, salt, and cloth are consumed as soon as they open their eyes.The many servants and craftsmen in the city are no longer self-sufficient. After working every day, they exchange wages for basic living materials.

The demand for transactions in the city surged, and the imperial court and state and county governments also had to make corresponding regulatory changes.Originally, the east and west markets would not start until the afternoon, but now the gates of the city and the square are opened together, extending the business hours of the market.

But even this is still insufficient. After all, it is difficult for small households to spare a whole labor force, wasting several hours a day to go to the market to buy.Therefore, in addition to the fixed two cities, various types of grass markets have also sprung up in the countryside and in the suburbs.

Although the city of Chang'an has not been built, many cities have appeared in the surrounding area around the city.Some of these grass markets have grown to a very large scale, not inferior to a small county town.Such as the Nancai market in Duling in the south of the city, and the fruit market in Bashang in the east of the city.

There is still controversy within the imperial court over whether to completely liberalize the control of private transactions, and how to manage it is still under discussion.But the needs of ordinary people can't wait for their living expenses, and these grass markets in the suburbs of Beijing are already quite prosperous.

Every day in the middle of the night, the farmers in the counties on the outskirts of Beijing got up, sorted out all kinds of farm output, and drove the ox carts on the road.All kinds of seasonal products gather in several major grass markets, and the market has become extremely lively before dawn.

With the sound of dawn drums in the city, the city gates, square gates, and city gates were opened one by one, and a large number of traders poured out from the gates and went straight to each grass market. After some bargaining, they returned with a full load before noon, or went to two City, or go straight to Fangqu.

Different from the blatant grass market outside the city, the business in the workshop still dare not let go of the scale too much, dare not sell it directly on the street, or send it door to door, or take it directly from the house.

Even if Wuhou street gangsters interrogate and arrest them, the ordinary people still have the wisdom of expediency and flexibility. They only want to pay each other money and debts, so naturally it is not a violation of the rules.Of course, this kind of situation is very rare. Those bad people of Marquis Wu are also residents in the workshop.

The imperial court was not completely indifferent to the problems caused by the private market in Fangye.It's just that the new era is changing after all, and what kind of control should be implemented still needs to be further explored.

Officials talk freely about people's livelihood in the yamen, but after all, they can't deeply understand the convenience or trouble of ordinary people's life, and rashly setting up laws and regulations may add cumbersome inconvenience, which is contrary to the initial discussion.

Therefore, there are many courtiers who say that instead of rushing to think about it and hurting the people's livelihood, it is better to let the development go, and wait until the people's livelihood and habits are established, and then make a decree, so as to ensure the convenience of the government and the people.Therefore, these Fangye private markets are still in a state of official promotion of private construction and free development.

On this day, the Grass Market was as busy as usual, and vendors at the gates of the city came in and out in an orderly manner, but some soldiers of the Beijing camp guarding the gates still found something unusual, that is, there were many paper parcels in the packaging of the seasonal agricultural products loaded on the vendors' trucks.

"Niu Wu, it seems that peddlers are making a lot of money! Is this truck full of goods worth wrapping paper money?"

A doorman pointed at the familiar traders and joked. Although the capital is prosperous, not all goods can be expensive or cheap. Paper supplies are insulated from most ordinary people in the workshop.And seeing that the paper is plain white and smooth, it is not cheap to make, and it is not something that can be abused at will.

The peddler bowed his waist and smiled after hearing the words: "Running around in the morning and evening, earning some hard-earned money, how can it compare to droughts and floods in Gongmen! I didn't buy these papers by myself. There are stupid people in the grass market. Fat, I think it’s some examination-crazed literati who want to show off their articles. The free Huili can be easily obtained, and when it enters the market later, the waste paper can always be sold for how much!”

After hearing the words, the guard became even more curious. He went in and opened it to look. Sure enough, he saw that the paper was full of handwriting.

"Since the anomaly is a monster, how can anyone send money in the city! I don't know what kind of document is written, so I dare to carry it into the city!"

With a scolding sound, the doorman tore off some of the paper wrapping the goods on the cart, and threw them into the bamboo basket next to the tower with his backhand.

Seeing this, the peddler cursed inwardly, but he didn't dare to answer back. He could only lead the car in with his head down, and after walking a certain distance, he cursed: "Is there really an evil conspiracy, how dare you play tricks on me? Thief Qiuba is greedy for my paper materials. Fortunately, I am not stupid!"

While talking, he patted a thick pile of waste paper hidden in his clothes. These paper materials are high-grade, and can be recycled into new paper after being pulped. There are often shops in the two cities who buy them. They count the money per catty, and they are very affordable.

After the peddler entered the shop, he delivered the goods that the shoppers entrusted him to buy one by one, and the time passed. Thinking that there would be a high-end business later, he returned to the house, changed into clean clothes, rolled up the pile of waste paper, and headed west to the city.If you plan to enter the market to see if the market price is good, you can go to the grass market outside the city to pick up a wave while the weather is still early.

In front of a large paper store in West Market, many hawkers had gathered at this time, and many of them came to sell waste paper.The peddler Niu Wu approached and found so many colleagues. He raised his eyes and saw that the door of the paper shop was closed, so he couldn't help cursing in a low voice: "A group of dogs walk very fast, and I will be turned away if I slow down a little bit." Outside! Is this closing down the shop and lowering the price, or is the money not being collected at all?"

There were many people who were yelling and asking questions, blocking the door of the paper store and refusing to disperse, but the door was always closed, even if it was knocked loudly, no one responded.

A passer-by came forward to inquire curiously. He took the crumpled waste paper from the peddler and spread it out to read, chanting aloud: "This is a Fu essay! Jiuniao Fu... tsk tsk, the writing is vigorous, not like It's a layman's handwriting, this is Chen Xueshi's grammar... no no no..."

Most of the peddlers are not proficient in writing and ink, and the waste paper can’t be sold at the moment, so they simply come up to greet each other and ask: "My lord, what is written on the paper? If it is really a high-quality essay, I will not sell it at all. I will collect more for myself." Gentle!"

"This prose is an ugly and evil bird. The diction is indeed spicy and powerful. You don't think you don't know the allusion of the dove occupying the magpie's nest. Let's put it this way, the nest that I worked so hard to build was originally for breeding children and grandchildren, but in the end it was invaded by villains. I made my own home..."

The passer-by was quite pleased with being surrounded and asked for advice, so he explained it sentence by sentence.

"Bah bah! It's such a beautiful thing. Such an evil bird, the way of the road is so deaf, it's worth wasting paper and ink materials to write!"

The people in the village may not understand the philosophy and scriptures, but they also have a simple view of good and evil that distinguishes the straight from the wrong. After hearing this narration, there are many people who curse, and feel that it is a waste of material to describe such ugly acts.

"Don't say things like that. Evil doesn't happen, and people don't police! If justice can't be raised, such evil deeds in the world will inevitably happen again and again! Such as the early years..."

The discussion in the city was chaotic, and more and more passers-by and spectators joined the discussion, and the topic gradually became sensitive.

In an inconspicuous corner outside the crowd, several young people were looking towards the meeting place of the crowd. Among them was a handsome young man, Cui Shi's brother Cui Ye who had made a decision at the Linzi King's residence a few days ago.And the "Ode to the Dove Bird", which is widely circulated among the masses, was written by him.

"People in the workshop are short-witted after all, and ordinary people can't express their meaning with a thousand mouths!"

Cui Ye couldn't help being a little displeased when he heard the people in Shizhongfang's chaotic discussions, and many explanations and arguments couldn't directly cut to the essence of his meaning.

After hearing the words, the fellow travelers laughed and comforted him: "Hai Zixiong's wonderful pen has already caught up with everyone. How can the miscellaneous people in the city understand the essence? If it weren't for the stubborn demon atmosphere and the world's troubles, he would speak straightforwardly, even if the world's famous pen is also You need to avoid a seat! At least for now, you can see the people's sentiments, and things will come true in the future, so why worry about the pearl being dusted!"

Not to mention the murmured discussions of a few people, suddenly a group of soldiers came galloping from the gate of the West Market, and the leader of the group came here to make a move, and said sharply: "Everyone who holds the demon book will be killed. Get arrested, don't leak a single person!"

The armored soldiers rushed over on their horses, and the scene became chaotic for a while.

Cui Ye and others who were hiding in the dark hurriedly got away after seeing this, and some people said worriedly: "These officials and slaves are quick to react, and they have already felt the incident within a day..."

"What we want is that they are all soldiers and have a great momentum! Small people like mobs can speak whatever they want, and it is absolutely impossible to expect them to fight for righteousness. But now that the government is vigilant and intensively searched and arrested, it is natural that the crowd is restless and everyone is timid. It's a pain in the skin, so naturally I believe it!"

Cui Ye didn't feel flustered because of the quick response of the government, because this was part of the plan.

Not to mention the chaos in the city, when the Jin Wuwei sent out the whole city to arrest those who spread the demonic literature, a large number of grievance complaints also flooded the government offices of the prefectures and counties.

Wang Fangqing, governor of Yongzhou, saw many similar memorials, and he felt a warning sign in his heart. At the same time, he was a little dissatisfied with the Jinwu Guard's arbitrariness, so he hurriedly left the yamen hall and went straight to the left-behind mansion in the northern imperial city.

When Wang Fangqing arrived at the Foreign Affairs Hall, which was temporarily used as the left-behind mansion, Chen Mingzhen, the general of the Jinwu Guard, was also wandering in front of the Yamen. Seeing Wang Fangqing's arrival, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "Mr. There is an urgent need for interrogation and trial. I am waiting for the arrest, but I have no right to interrogate, and the state and county need to take over as soon as possible!"

"How many have been arrested?"

After Wang Fangqing heard this, he didn't have time to reprimand Chen Mingzhen for his sloppy behavior, so he just asked in a deep voice.

"Already close to a thousand people. The incident happened in the grass market outside the city. When the Jinwu Guards were alerted, the relevant personnel had already spread among the people!"

Hearing this answer, Wang Fangqing's expression darkened again. Before he had time to say anything, another left guard Li Zhaode also hurried over from outside the yamen. catch!"
