The heroine Chang appears in Taibai

In front of two subordinates, Huaiyu did not rush to deal with it.

After all, without investigation, there is no right to speak.

It is not a trivial matter to deceive the public with evil words. In ancient times, what can be called evil words to deceive the public is not an ordinary rumor. It is definitely not some boring neighborhood gossip among gossips or the exaggeration of idlers.

They often include political or religious incitement, and each of them may cause social panic or even unrest.

Throughout the dynasties, rulers have strictly guarded against this and hated it deeply.

For example, in the Sui Dynasty, the phrase "Peach and plums, conquer the world" is very famous, and there is another sentence after it, "The queen goes around Yangzhou and wanders in the garden, don't talk nonsense, who can say yes?"

At that time, the legend was known all over the world. Later, Yang Guang asked the famous warlock An Jiatuo to interpret it. He interpreted it as saying that Li was the emperor and persuaded Yang Guang to kill Li's minister.

Later, another nursery rhyme came out.

Peach plums, floods circle Yangshan. Peach plums, Mo Langyu, yellow swans fly around the mountain, wandering in the garden.

In ancient times, there was a saying called Yingtu prophecy. Whenever dynasties changed, nursery rhymes and prophecies were spread among the people, often predicting the direction of the dynasty and even hinting at the name of the next ruler.

This kind of nursery rhyme is actually spread intentionally by people.

Just like the most famous saying in the late Han Dynasty, the sky is dead, the yellow sky is standing, and the age of Jiazi will be good for the world.

Another example is Hu Ye, the person who destroyed Qin during the Qin Dynasty.

Of course, closer to home, Taibai sees Qin Fen, and the King of Qin should rule the world.

These prophecies are quite powerful.

At that time, Yang Guang was arrogant at first and did not believe in the so-called nursery rhymes of peaches and plums, but later he spread two songs in succession, which became more and more popular. People all over the world said that Li was going to replace Yang, and that the floods were flooding Yangshan.

Yang Guangdu was made suspicious, and later the Li Hun incident occurred. At that time, the Li Mu family, the most powerful Eight Pillar State Grand Master named Li in the court, was uprooted.

At that time, Li Yuan's power was far less powerful than that of the Li Hun family.

But Yang Guang has always been suspicious of his cousin Li Yuan ever since. Once Li Yuan was ill and could not see him in court, Yang Guang asked his concubine Wang, who was also Li Yuan's sister and daughter, why Li Yuan did not die of illness.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, there was also a Jindao Liu. Liu's prophecies were very popular in Guandong. Liu's prophecies and Li's prophecies were popular in Guandong and Guanzhong respectively at that time.

Later, the powerful men of Wagang Village accepted the prophecy that Li would be prosperous, welcomed Li Mi up the mountain, and accepted his leadership.

In Hebei and Shandong, the heroes in Douzikeng and Gaojibo believed more in Liu's Zhuji, Sun Anzu, Gao Shida, Zhang Jincheng and other rebel leaders. At the beginning, they all wanted to support Liu as their leader.

.

Later, there were many wars, and Dou Jiande came to the upper hand. However, when he established the country, he chose Daxia, which is said to be related to Liu. Helian Bobo founded Daxia. He was originally the descendant of the Xiongnu Liu Yuan, so the Xia Kingdom was also the Liu dynasty.

At that time, in the land of Hebei and Shandong, since the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty, the Hu culture was serious, and the mixed blood between Hu and Han was quite strong, and there were even many Hu people who moved inland.

After Dou Jiande's defeat, Liu Heitai came back to power. Among Dou Jiande's remnant men, who had much higher qualifications and prestige than Liu Heitai, they all supported Liu Heitai because they also liked his surname Liu. They felt that if they supported him, Liu would be destined to do it.

success.

After Liu Heita's uprising, he only changed his name from Duke Dong of Han to King of Han Dong, and the country's title was still Daxia.

Another example is Xu Yuanlang of Shandong. In his early years, he was also affiliated with Gaojibo. Later, he affiliated with Li Mi and Dou Jiande. After that, he repeatedly wanted to support the surname Liu as the main one.

Liu Shiche, Liu Wuzhou and others were also famous heroes with the surname Liu in the late Sui Dynasty.

However, in the end, the Liu family was in charge of the auspiciousness, and they still did not defeat the Li family. However, it was not Li Mi, the leader of the Central Plains Alliance, who was promoted, but Li Yuan, the Duke of the Tang Dynasty.

Before the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Taishi ordered Fu Yimi to report to Li Yuan. Taibai saw that Qin was divided, and the King of Qin should rule the world. Li Yuan's face changed with shock, and he finally made a decision to completely resolve the fight between the prince and the King of Qin. Unfortunately, he was still defeated by Li Shimin

Take a desperate move to seize the opportunity.

Wu Huaiyu did not dare to be careless.

I, Yongzhou Biejia, have just taken office, so I can't let things go wrong. He is a doctor with six doors, so he is very aware of Li Shimin's fear of such prophecies.

When he said that the King of Qin should rule the world, Li Shimin was almost doomed. Although he did not blame him when he summoned the Taoist priest Fu Yi afterwards, he bluntly said that it was indeed his words that almost killed him.

Fu Yi is a relatively cautious person. Although he is familiar with astronomy and astrology, he will never spread the information he deduces from what he sees easily.

The Yongzhou Yamen gets off work very early. They attend to matters at sunrise and leave at noon.

I come to work in the morning and get off work not long after lunch. Some officials are assigned to work the afternoon shift and evening shift every day, and the rest only work half a day.

It's indeed very comfortable.

Of course, working a half-day shift is a benefit for officials. Yongzhou Yamen actually belongs to local government agencies and cannot be compared with central government agencies. Except for major officials like Huaiyu and others who work half-day shifts, the rest of the officials actually have to work two shifts.

As soon as the drum sounds in the morning, it is time for the morning shift to go to the office. Being late will also be punished.

Starting from the morning, you can go to the dining hall, which is a free lunch, which is the morning shift.

The evening shift is from afternoon to dusk.

There is a long lunch break between lunch and the evening shift, and then the office is closed until dusk.

But there is a group of people in the yamen who actually work harder, going to work in the morning and returning home at night.

They are members of the shogunate, such as Wu Huaiyu. As a senior official who founded the shogunate, he had two private shogunate teams, one was the daily assistant and the official staff, and the other was the working secretary and the government official assistant.

These officials were Huaiyu's personal shogunate staff, but they were not entirely the officials' personal masters. They also enjoyed the imperial establishment and were judged on their merit. In the future, they could also be selected and recruited as officials based on their shogunate resumes as qualifications.

Most of Wu Huaiyu's work can be handed over to these assistants to help handle it. He only needs to make decisions and approve them. This saves a lot of energy and does not have to detail everything.

Especially since Wu Huaiyu now has multiple jobs, he really has to do everything personally, even if he is tired of vomiting blood, he is too busy.

However, although the shogunate staff work long hours, Wu Huaiyu provides better welfare benefits. Generally, officials have one day off every ten days and one day off every nine days. Huaiyu's shogunate has one day off every five days and one day off every four days after working.

.

If you have something to do, you can directly ask for leave, and it's not as strict as officials.

In the imperial government system, if internal and external officials are absent from work without excuse, they will be given twenty small strokes for each day of absence, and one grade will be added for every three days they are absent. After twenty-five days, they will be given one hundred big strokes with the cane. After thirty-five days, they will be sentenced to one year in prison.

.

The situation of not working for many years was not allowed in the Tang Dynasty. Not only would one be beaten, but one would also be sentenced to forced labor.

And if you are an important frontier official in a military town or a border area, you will even be punished with an additional penalty.

The attendance law of the Tang Dynasty was also quite strict. Officials inside and outside had to take a roll call to check the actual number of people present. Sometimes the roll call was more than once a day. As long as the roll call was not present, twenty small plates would be printed for each missed roll call.

When the time comes, the number of days will be calculated and the penalties will be accumulated.

In contrast, Huaiyu's shogunate staff were not so strict. If they were always absent from work, they would be dismissed directly. Anyway, Wu Huaiyu hired and reported them himself, and was not selected by the imperial court.

Of course, no shogunate staff would dawdle under Wu Huaiyu. After all, it is not easy to enter the shogunate of a popular minister like Wu Huaiyu. Most of them are younger and unqualified, especially those from poor families who come from ordinary backgrounds to serve as shogunate.

I want to accumulate some qualifications, especially with the help of Wu Huaiyu’s relationship, to pave the way for myself in the future.

After a few years of entering the industry, when Wu Huaiyu recommends him, he can officially enter the official career. If he is taken seriously, he may even rise to the top. Who will hang around here with Wu Huaiyu? If he is driven away, no one will want to go anywhere else in the future.

.

After leaving Yongzhou Yamen in Guangdefang, Huaiyu went directly to the south of the city.

The six gates have been enclosed in the ghost market in the south of the city and construction has begun.

After walking around the Huaiyu construction site, the Doulu family was indeed very efficient. A large amount of money and food had been received, and many craftsmen were even hired to assist.

The progress is quite fast.

Huaiyu inspected around and then went to find An Yuanshou.

"I heard that a Yuan family appeared in Chang'an recently. She confuses the public with her evil words and has been reported by many people. I wonder if Brother An knows about this Yuan family. What kind of evil words did she say?"

Yang Zuan has no evidence, but An Yuanshou must know more inside information.

"Are you also eyeing this Yuan family?" An Yuanshou said with a smile, "We are also eyeing her."

Yuan is similar to Li Wujie before, and her experience is also very complicated, but she actually has some followers in Chang'an. She has been spreading a prophecy recently.

"What prophecy?"

"The heroine Chang."

Just three words,

But Wu Huaiyu was secretly frightened when he heard this. These three words were very powerful to him.

"Did these three words first come from the Yuan family?"

"no."

An Yuanshou did not hide anything from Wu Huaiyu. After all, Wu Huaiyu was now a doctor in the Six Sects and was his direct superior.

"After we heard the rumors, we sent a lot of people to keep an eye on the Yuan family. We were not in a hurry to arrest anyone. After these days of surveillance, we finally found the source of the rumors.

The three characters for the heroine Chang come from Li Chunfeng, a doctor from the Taishi Bureau.

That Yuan family often visited the homes of powerful officials. She accidentally heard this sentence from the maid of Li Chunfeng's family, so she spread it everywhere."

"Coincidentally, Taibai has appeared frequently during the day recently. Many people are worried about this phenomenon, so Yuan spread the prophecy that Taibai will appear during the day and the heroine will be happy."

"Why did she do this?"
