Rebirth of the King of the World

The time for Jun Lu and the others to enter the city is very good, just in time for the busiest time in the city, people on the street are talking about this matter, they don't have to bother to inquire, they can clearly understand the cause and effect , that is, there are many contradictions among the various statements.

Jiang Yuan listened with gusto at first, but later found that all kinds of gossip became more and more mysterious and unreliable, so he was a little speechless.

He touched Jun Lu beside him with his elbow, and asked in a low voice, "Little friend, what do you think? Does it look like someone is playing tricks?"

"Is someone playing tricks? Can't we find out if we go over and have a look?" It is indeed possible for a dead tree to bloom in spring, but the premise is that the tree is not really dead, but the skin is withered, and there is still vitality inside. The climate is likely to re-germinate.

But the news about Langya is a bit mysterious. Everyone is swearing that the tree died three years ago, and the trunk and branches are dry and burn at the touch. Their tone and expression are extremely sincere, as if every Everyone has seen the tree with their own eyes.

Others said that when there was a thunderstorm last summer, half of the tree was ignited by the sky fire, and it burned for half a day before it was extinguished by the downpour.

But just this morning, the dead tree revived, and it re-issued new green shoots, and it was in this untimely season.

Even though it was the first time for both of them to come to Langya, they even had to ask people where the old house of the Jun family was, but they didn't need to ask about the location of the dead tree. People around them were all rushing in that direction. Just move with the flow, there is no need to inquire.

It's just that it's easy to find a dead tree, but it's still difficult to see it specifically, because there are too many people looking at it, and I don't know how many circles it has inside and outside.

Jun Lu and Jiang Yuan moved forward with the current, the closer they got to the target, the slower their progress, until finally they were almost stuck in place.

"It's crowded like this, who can see it clearly? It can be seen that what those people said before is not very reliable..." Jiang Yuan curled his lips, regretting that he came to see this excitement. He went directly to Jun's house, and he could have lunch early.

Jun Lu seemed indifferent, he squeezed Jiang Yuan's hand hard, seemed a little worried that he would be squeezed away by the crowd, so he comforted him: "We are all here, what a pity if we don't see Xiangrui, go outside It’s not easy to squeeze, so don’t waste your energy.”

The "auspiciousness" mentioned by Jun Lv is not just talking about it, but an official in Langya in his previous life, who really reported the withered tree as a rare auspicious auspiciousness.Emperor Shenyou always attached great importance to these nagging things, and he also rewarded the officials of Qingzhou and Langya for this.

Even a year later, when the key position of Zhongshu Ling was vacant, he made an exception and promoted Deng Jiang, the governor of Qingzhou.

According to the usual practice, the official ranks of the Dayan Dynasty are adjusted every three years.

As long as the junior officials of the sixth and seventh ranks perform well, it is possible to be promoted every three years, and some people can even be promoted by leapfrogging.But when it reaches the fifth rank or above, it is common to not move for several years, and it is even more impossible to leapfrog.After all, one radish is one pit, and if the front radish does not make room for it, the rear radish will have no chance.Besides, at the same level, Beijing officials defaulted to being half a level higher than local officials. Many officials in the frontier region would never be able to enter Beijing for a lifetime, and those who could go back were considered the best.

The governor of Qingzhou is the third rank, and the order of Zhongshu is the second rank. There are countless people who can't get past the second rank. Let's not mention the second rank. The key is that Deng Jiang didn't have too outstanding performance in his tenure, so it can only be regarded as a failure. But quite satisfactory, there are not many conspicuous highlights.

If I have to say it, during Deng Jiang's tenure, there are so many auspicious things in Qingzhou that are barely worth mentioning. The dead trees in Langya are a pile, the silkworms in Heyang are a pile of colorful silk, and the two seedlings of Jiahe are beautiful. Caused quite a bit of controversy and sensation.

But Emperor Chengzu said that the so-called auspiciousness is just as good as it is, don’t take it seriously. It’s the best policy to find out that Jiahe is cultivated carefully. What’s the use of making dried seedlings into specimens, except to prove the existence of Jiahe and increase food production. There is no practical significance.

Emperor Chengzu valued reality, and he hated people playing false tricks with him the most, so in the two dynasties of Chengzu Ruizong, the term auspiciousness was rare.

The first emperor did care about this, but it was only in words, at most, it was to reward some money, and it would not be related to the government affairs of the court.

Even if the emperor was blessed by God, Jun Lu didn't think that the only reason for him to appoint Deng Jiang was auspiciousness. That's just people's guess.

The real reason should be that the princes fought too hard, they dared not directly aim at such an important position as Zhongshuling, but the vacancy of Zhongshuling is not as simple as one position, whoever gets promoted, the vacancy left by him People need to make up for it, and the whole thing is a chain reaction.

The emperor didn't want to fulfill the wishes of his sons, he wanted to tell them that the world belongs to me, and you can't decide what I want to do.

That's why Deng Jiang's airborne, he has nothing to do with any prince, and just meets all the emperor's requirements.

If Deng Jiang's performance is strong enough and his performance is good enough, even if the emperor's behavior is a little out of line, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are acceptable.However, Deng Jiang is not such a person. His performance is so mediocre that the emperor can't find too many words to praise him if he wants to be promoted.

In this way, Yushitai's gang of doctors who have been spoiled by the past generations of emperors will find a place to use their skills, and every day the book is opposed to this matter.

Yushitai was established when the Dayan Dynasty was founded, and its rank has never been low, and its real power has never been high.It was Emperor Chengzu who allowed them to speak freely and exercise the responsibility of supervision, and the subsequent Emperor Ruizong and the first emperor have continued this tradition to this day.

However, both Emperor Chengzu and Emperor Ruizong were very self-disciplined emperors, so they didn't mind too many things, and they even found someone to supervise themselves, and they would speak up if they made mistakes, and they would not be punished if they made mistakes.The first emperor belonged to the continuation of the practice and did not change his father's way. Although he didn't like it very much, he didn't make any changes.

The God Blessed Emperor was not the case. The longer he took the throne, the more he disliked the officials at Yushitai, who made them babble all day long.What's even more hateful is that those people moved Emperor Chengzu out every now and then, as if the old man could really come out to support them,

In the past, the emperor would probably tolerate trivial matters that were harmless, but this time, he was in a fight with the imperial censor.

What the emperor was dissatisfied with was not an official at Yushitai, but that he wanted to be the emperor who was truly the only one who respected me, and he didn't want anyone to restrain his words and deeds.

Deng Jiang was regarded as one of the emperor's pawns. It was very effective in combating the ambitions of the princes, but he was a bit lacking in ability to deal with Yushitai.

Jun Lu remembers very clearly that the most important reason against the emperor's appointment of Deng Jiang as Zhongshu Ling is that the performance is too poor to make up for the auspiciousness.

The emperor was very angry, but he couldn't refute, and finally used all the imperial staff that existed in name only.

The court stick was a favorite tactic of the Yuanzheng Dynasty. In less than a hundred years, the court was full of blood and no elegance.The Dayan Dynasty has always claimed to be orthodox. Although it has not completely abolished the law of the court staff, since Emperor Taizu until now, no emperor has used it in court.

This incident caused an uproar at the time. Jun Lan once said that God Bless the Emperor actually wanted to further centralize the imperial power.

For the first time with the imperial staff, the emperor took a few thorns from Yushitai and opened the knife. Although the attack was not serious, at least no one was killed, but it still scared many people away, and the voice of opposing him to use Deng Jiang was also quiet. Not a lot.

But Ji Shi'an was stubborn, and he gave the emperor a new book before his injury healed.Emperor Shenyou was so angry that he went crazy, and in spite of everyone's objections, he slapped Ji Shi'an with the imperial staff for the second time.He is the emperor, the son of heaven, why should he be told what to do.

It may be that the old injury has not healed and a new injury has been added, or it may be that the emperor did not want to see Ji Shi'an anymore, so he made people deal with it severely. Anyway, Ji Shi'an passed away three days after the second imperial scepter.

To some extent, this incident prompted the Jun family to stand in line with Wei Ying, because they felt that God Blessed the Emperor was hopeless.

The auspiciousness of the dead wood and spring is just an introduction. Even if there is no such thing, the emperor still wants to use Deng Jiang, and no one can change it.

Jun Lu felt inexplicably sad when he thought of this, the emperor and his son ran towards the end, it seemed that they could not be held back.

If Emperor Ruizong had chosen Juncheng instead of Emperor Xian, everything would have been different.

Just when Jun Lu was thinking wildly and recalling the past, there was a sudden chaos ahead, and before he could recover, Jiang Yuan grabbed him by force.Jiang Yuan hugged Jun Lu tightly, and his voice was a little nervous: "Little friend, there seems to be something wrong."

"What's going on?" Jun Lu raised his head and looked towards the place not far ahead where the voice suddenly became louder.

"It seems that people from the government came forward and said that they are not allowed to get closer, but there are too many people around, those in front are not allowed to move, and those behind are pushing forward again, I am worried..." Jiang Yuan frowned deeply. Brow, the situation here is too chaotic, maybe something will happen.

Before Jiang Yuan finished speaking, what he was worried about happened, and it was the worst kind.

In the chaos, someone was pushed down, but the people next to him either didn't know it, or were powerless...

Jiang Yuan and Jun Lu's martial arts are considered very good, but it is not easy for them to stand firm in the crowd.

"Mother, woo woo..." Not far in front of Jiang Yuan, a five or six-year-old girl fell down, and when the people behind pushed her forward, she couldn't get up at all, and then she was overwhelmed by the crowd .

"Don't squeeze, don't step on my daughter!" The little girl's mother was right next to her, but she not only failed to pull the little girl up, but even fell down with her.

In an instant, cries and exclamations joined together, and these voices further exacerbated the panic and confusion of the people.

Jiang Yuan and Jun Lu really wanted to save the little girl, but they couldn't squeeze through, and they couldn't even stand firmly on their own.

"Ah Yuan, let's go, this place is out of control." Jun Lu grabbed Jiang Yuan who was almost knocked down, and then immediately picked up the startled and groggy little baby in the arms of the sister-in-law next to him and flew to the room top.

Jiang Yuan did the same, and carried the child closest to him to the roof.The scene here is too chaotic, people will definitely be killed in the chaotic stampede, children are weak, as long as they fall and are pinned down, they will have no chance of being saved.

After telling the two little dolls to sit down and not to move, Jun Lu and Jiang Yuan went down again.

With the ancient tree not far away as the center, tens of thousands of people gathered nearby. No matter how high the martial arts of Jun Lu and Jiang Yuan were, no matter how high the martial arts of Jun Lu and Jiang Yuan were, they could not stop them. The child was rescued.

The chaotic situation lasted for nearly half an hour. When the government finally came forward to disperse the crowded crowd, Jun Lu saw at least dozens of people lying down on the ground, including the mother and daughter they had seen before.

"Brother, brother..." The rescued children were very quiet before, and most of them were still immersed in panic.

But suddenly, a little girl burst into tears, obviously she saw her brother among those people.Under her influence, other children also started crying, crying to find their families, and some wanted to go down from the roof.

The roof is not a particularly safe place. It's fine for the children to sit still. Once they move, the two of them can't watch them at all.

And the yamen servants below heard the cry and followed the prestige, Jiang Yuan hurriedly waved at them and said: "Come here and help."

After sending the children back to the ground and handing them over to the family who came to look for them, Jun Lu looked at Jiang Yuan, who was also in a daze, with a blank face.

Why did he never know that such a tragedy happened in Langya, what kind of auspiciousness is this...

Jiang Yuan also couldn't figure it out, he just came to see the fun, how did it end up like this, he couldn't forget the terrified look in the little girl's eyes.

"Who are you? What are you here for?" Just when Jiang Yuan and Jun Lu looked at each other, and no one knew what to say, a slightly arrogant voice came over, which made people feel inexplicably uncomfortable. Comfortable.

The author has something to say:

I'm sorry, I suffered from insomnia last night, and I fell asleep almost at dawn. I'm not in a good state today, and I couldn't make up for the double watch. I will make up for it tomorrow~
