In the market, some news could not be kept secret after all, and spread through word of mouth among the people.
In Jizhou City, all the men disappeared, and the women in the city continued to disappear in the following days. In the end, the huge Jizhou City became an empty city. Similar things happened many times in other counties in Jizhou, with densely populated villages
The city has become a ghost.
The city of Jizhou was massacred, and the entire city was exterminated, with no chickens or dogs left.
The city of Huozhou was robbed, all the men died, and the women were humiliated.
In the city of Jizhou, there was a rebellion. Zhou Mu raised his flag to rebel and raised troops to attack his neighbors on all sides.
In Mozhou City, there was a rebellion, the state pastor was killed, local wealthy families rose up, and they formed private armies one after another, and the fighting was lively.
…
…
…
Disgusting and bad news keeps coming out from various channels. Inadvertently, there is a sense that the country is in turmoil and the country is about to collapse.
As time goes by, there are more and more such messages, and more and more people are discussing these messages in the streets, and they are becoming more and more courageous.
Even at the end of August, in teahouses and restaurants, those storytellers dared to openly tell the tea guests and diners about the "unique news" they had received from nowhere.
In the past, which city hero or storyteller would dare to say this so grandly?
Is it true that all the officials who guard the palace, patrol the palaces as censors, patrol the streets as Wuhou, and all government officials are vegetarians?
But in August, despite the heroes making up random things, and the storytellers talking nonsense, no one controls these things, whether it is the palace supervisor, the patrol censor, or even other large and small yamen.
If the yamen doesn't care, the people below will be bolder.
Gradually, rumors emerged that the emperor was immoral, the queen mother was immoral, the general was immoral, the prime minister was a traitor who brought disaster to the country and the people, all kinds of wonderfully processed rumors emerged.
And one after another, the imperial troops marched from Dafang City in Haojing to the General's Mansion, which made this precarious feeling of chaos a hundred times stronger out of thin air.
One by one, the Forbidden Army marched into the General's Mansion, but no one was ever seen coming out.
Although the General's Palace is a huge military city that protects the imperial city, and its internal scale is extremely large, how can it accommodate the entire Haojing imperial army?
There are more than 2,000 cities in Haojing, first-, second-, and third-grade cities, and the size of the garrison is in the tens of thousands.
There are nearly 10,000 troops stationed in the third-grade, fourth-grade and fifth-grade city.
Only those seventh-, eighth- and ninth-level markets are small villages that farm, grow vegetables, and cut firewood. The number of troops stationed in such markets ranges from hundreds to thousands.
Even so, the entire Forbidden Army garrison in Haojing is an extremely large number.
How could a mere general's palace accommodate so many people?
For a time, evil spirits spread everywhere, and some scoundrels in the market spread rumors that the general had made a professional mistake and slaughtered countless imperial soldiers and sold their flesh and blood as the meat of various kinds of pigs, horses, cattle and sheep.
The rumors are so ridiculous that no official has stopped them.
An attentive person has only noticed that the distinguished ministers, civil and military officials in Haojing City, big and small, old and new, from well-established families, or from poor families, all go to three places in shifts these days.
General's Mansion, Imperial City and Jiuqu Garden.
When you go to the General's Mansion, you will naturally meet General Yue Wu.
When I go to the Imperial City, I naturally go to see the current Queen Mother Leshi.
Go to Jiuqu Garden... The emperor has an edict, so naturally the ministers go to see the emperor.
However, the ministers went to three places and met with the three most powerful people in Dayin today. No one knew what they said, what they discussed, what they promised, what they promised, or what they asked for!
In addition to these courtiers, the protons in Sijifang also started to move.
The ministers went out brightly and grandly during the day, but the protons appeared furtively at night.
They were also going in and out of the General's Mansion, the Imperial City, and Jiuqu Garden. They all knew that hiding their heads and tail was useless, but they still walked around hiding their heads and tail.
Likewise, outsiders also don't know what they talked about with those three people, what they asked for, and what they promised.
At this point, Lu Qian expressed his calmness.
No matter how noisy the civil and military ministers and nobles of the clan are, he remains calm every day. He goes out early in the morning and takes Qingyou and the three girls to Wuyinfang, the most popular market in Kunpengfang, the imperial city, to buy various snacks.
, food is eaten from the street to the end of the street.
Afterwards, the four of them led a group of guards, followed by one or two carriages, and walked through the streets and alleys, specifically visiting antique shops, medicinal shops, and oddity shops.
Among them, there are also some dim sum shops, rouge shops, etc.
At first glance, it looks like a few young gentlemen who don't know the worries of the world, happily spending a lot of money to buy all kinds of inexplicable gadgets, filling one carriage after another.
Occasionally, when Lu Qian and Qingyou passed by the Imperial College, the Imperial College, or some restaurants or teahouses where scholars gathered, he would put his hands behind his back and listen to the discussions of poems and articles by various scholars for a while, and then calmly pretend to be
To express something inspired, point to a chrysanthemum, a red leaf tree, or even a tea cup or a wine glass, and recite a wonderful poem casually.
Amid the exclamations and admiring gazes of countless scholars, Lu Qian, who made a wonderful speech, was very calm, with a reddish green pomelo, and a green lemon with red cheeks with excitement, green lemon, and Shi Shi.
Then he left with his hands behind his back.
Therefore, what was very different from the storm in Haojing City was that Lu Qian's reputation as the "Sage of Poetry" became more and more intense.
Finally, this day.
On September 1, the 19th year of Jiayou's reign, an imperial edict was sent from Jiuqu Garden to the Imperial City, requesting the Queen Mother to use the seal.
The Queen Mother rejected the edict, and with Yu Sandou, the chief eunuch at her side, personally sealed the edict back to Jiuquyuan.
What happened next brought the turmoil in Haojing City to an abrupt end and discussions among all parties.
The emperor did not ask the queen mother to use the empress dowager's seal and the emperor's seal in the edict. As mentioned before, the emperor's seal in Yinyuan and the imperial seal of Dayin were a whole set of seals, seals, etc.
, all kept in the hands of the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother refused to use the seal, but the Emperor actually stamped his own personal seal on the edict. This seal was usually used by the Emperor to stamp on these collections when he was reading, appreciating paintings, and appreciating various collections.
The seal could only represent the emperor's personal identity and had no official power.
In short, the emperor used his personal seal on the edict to make it known to the world.
The general idea of the edict is that because Lu Cai, Lu Qian, Lu Jun, Lu Yi and others have distinguished themselves in the country, they will be specially rewarded:
Lu Gao was given the title of "Tian Enjun", and he responded to the ceremonial ceremony and spent the same amount as a royal prince.
Lu Qian was given the title of "Tianyang Lord", and the ceremony and expenses were equivalent to those of a prince in the clan.
Lu Jun and Lu Yi both received the title of "Marquis" and the military rank of Yulin Zhonglang.
Those who were forcibly recruited by Lu Yi were almost shackled and rushed to quell the rebellion. Mrs. Hu's three younger brothers, namely Lu Jun and Lu Yi's three uncles, also had "outstanding meritorious service".
According to the merits stated in the book, the three men were awarded the titles of Wuzhou Mu, Wuzhou Comfort Envoy, and Wuzhou Envoy to Conquer.
Inexplicably, the three of them suddenly became the second-rank officials of the country and the second-rank officials!
In addition to these three 'uncles' who were inexplicably high-ranking officials, Lu Yi, Lu Qian's confidants, including A Hu who had never set foot in Wuzhou, and the core tiger masters of Baihu Hall, all because of their resumes
Military merit', one after another received various honors and military positions.
Just like Ahu, he transformed from a gangster leader in street fights to a baron of the Imperial Dynasty and captain of Habayashi.
The last article of the edict was to praise Lu Qian's "noble temperament" and "astonishing literary talents". In the official name and in the name of the emperor, Lu Qian was named the "Poetry Sage", "Wen Zong", and the deputy Imperial College.
Shanchang', the actual position of Taixue's deputy Xuezheng.
As soon as the edict came out, Haojing was in an uproar.
For Lu Yi, Lu Qian and others, it was just a reward for their military achievements. The emperor could give Dayin his official position as he wished.
But there is no serious seal of the emperor in the edict, and the consequences of this matter...
Countless people's eyes have been cast on the Imperial City.
And the emperor's last reward to Lu Qian, such as the 'Poetry Saint', the 'Wen Zong', the Imperial College, and the real power of the Imperial College, stunned the cultural and educational disciples in Haojing City, and immediately made countless
Huge divisions and antagonisms arose within the cultural and educational disciples.
Some of the cultural and educational disciples who were amazed by the poems and articles that Lu Qian had thrown out before applauded and cheered in unison, saying that Lu Qian was well-deserved and cheering for this edict.
Those cultural and religious disciples who opposed Lu Qian, especially those direct disciples of Bai Changkong, yelled and cursed without regard for dignity, and some even contacted him privately, preparing to go to the Imperial City and Jiuquyuan Fuque to "death remonstrance".
It is said that even Zhu Chong and other cultural and educational leaders were furious at the emperor's edict.
The 'Poet Sage' can tolerate it, but the 'Wen Zong' cannot tolerate it!
What is ‘Wenzong’?
In today’s world, the leader of culture and education is the ‘Wen Zong’!
If Lu Qian is the "leader of culture and education," then what have become of Zhu Chong and other great sages who came from a family of cultural and educational saints?
In particular, the emperor personally canonized and declared the world's 'Wenzong'. Since the establishment of Wenjiao, there is only one 'Zhu Sheng'!
This edict from the emperor is equivalent to finding another ‘living ancestor’ for Zhu Chong and others!
The cultural and educational leaders in Haojing City suddenly became upset.
On the night when the edict was issued, in the imperial city, in the Fuyao Hall, under dim candlelight, behind the curtains where the emperor listened to the government, the Queen Mother sat expressionlessly on the throne, looking through the pearl curtains at Le Wu who was prostrate on the ground.
"Then the emperor really issued the edict like this?" The Queen Mother's voice was very cold: "How dare he?"
Le Wu said in a low voice: "But sister, he really did this!"
The Queen Mother was silent for a long time and sighed: "This matter is very difficult for me to handle."
Le Wu suddenly raised his head and said urgently: "Sister, he is just one of your sons...and I am your biological brother!"
The Queen Mother's eyes suddenly widened.
She looked down at Le Wu who was kneeling on the ground and said in a deep voice: "You have been mobilizing troops frequently these days...how confident are you?"
Le Wu grinned, his lips were as white as paper, and his eyes were slightly red.
"Sister, don't worry, I'm 100% sure." Lewu smiled: "The emperor may have invited a few strangers to help, but the situation is in my hands and in your hands!"
