Chapter 1275 Under the violent storm, green seedlings sprout
When Yunchu arrived at the gate of the county government office, he discovered that Baiqisi's people had already left, leaving only six black cannons with green smoke rising from the muzzles.
Yun Chu thought for a moment and then ordered Lu Zhaolin, who had followed him out, and Wu Chengsi: "Place the artillery in the front yard of the county government office, with the muzzle facing the outside world. Anyone who breaks in rudely will be shot."
Lu Zhaolin stuttered and said, "Blast him?"
Yun Chu roared: "Are they only allowed to attack me, but I am not allowed to attack him?"
When Lu Zhaolin saw that the county magistrate was angry, he quickly ordered the government officials to drag the six heavy artillery pieces back to the county government office. Seeing that Wu Chengsi had not left yet, he smiled awkwardly and said, "We are in big trouble."
Wu Chengsi looked at the six cannons and said faintly: "There are no cannonballs...but I am very encouraging. The prince is still one step ahead of me."
Perhaps it was because there were artillery in the county government office. Those who stayed in the county government office seemed to feel a lot more relaxed. The children no longer cried, the women no longer frowned and cried secretly, and even the men's faces looked a little brighter.
Perseverance.
When there is no strength to resist, everyone is just a lamb to be slaughtered. After having a little strength to resist, the desperate person at least knows that he is no longer a lamb to be slaughtered, and at least he still has the ability to bite the enemy.
If you can't live anymore, then kill your mother. This is the common thought of people living in Wannian County Yamen.
Wu Chengsi hugged his son without letting go, and could still flexibly serve Yun Chu. At this moment, he looked more like a virtuous woman than a capable official.
To be honest, the two brothers, Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi, suffered the most losses in this shelling incident, but not the third one.
In addition to the child in his arms, Wu Chengsi's wife, eldest son, and concubine were all killed in the bombing.
He was the only one from Wu Sansi's family who came out.
As for Yong Wangxian's residence and Princess Taiping's mansion, which were blown to the ground by artillery fire, they looked miserable, but there was basically no loss of life. Those who died were either guards, slaves, or eunuchs and maids.
When those high-ranking houses were bombarded by artillery, they were also very smart. When the gates were blocked, the important people had already fled through the tunnels.
It is almost a basic operation for wealthy families to dig tunnels in their homes. Only two outsiders, Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi brothers, were not at all wary of the tragedy that often occurred in Chang'an, so they could not even take shelter during the artillery bombardment.
nothing.
Yun Chu asked Wu Chengsi to sit down and eat with him.
Wu Chengsi did not refuse. He sat down next to the baby with his arms in his arms, feeding the baby millet oil with a small spoon and talking to Yun Chu in a low voice.
"In two days, the artillery incident will be over. Your Majesty, will there be any further investigation afterwards?"
Yun Chu stopped the chopsticks in his hand and said, "Thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness."
Wu Chengsi stopped the spoon in his hand and said, "In other words, does your Majesty really regard himself as a god today? If one person makes a mistake, he will punish the whole world?"
Yun Chu said: "There is a story in the newly published Buddhist scriptures. It is said that the king of a small country got angry because of other things and knocked over the offering table. As a result, the gods in the sky did not eat the offerings. Therefore, the gods did not give
When it rains in that small country, they say that unless a little yellow dog can lick a mountain as big as a mountain, an oil lamp can burn a thick iron lock, and a chicken can peck out a mountain of rice as high as a mountain.
After eating, rain will fall on that small country.
So, emperors are very narrow-minded, especially when the power in their hands is huge. Their method of punishing people is no longer simply killing, but the main purpose is to demonstrate their authority.
This time, you brothers are actually two chess pieces used to frighten the Queen's ambitions. If you survive, you will survive. Your Majesty's goal has been achieved."
Wu Chengsi changed the positions of the dishes for Yun Chu, sat down again and said, "The Lord is so patient this time, is it for the sake of the Steel City, right?"
Yun Chu nodded and said: "If iron farm tools are popularized, even if your Majesty brings another disaster, the people will be able to resist it for a while."
Wu Chengsi took a bite of the dish and said, "Yes, Kua Fu chases the sun and Foolish Old Man moves the mountains. Although they are both actions against Tiangang, they are also the most fierce resistance that we mortals can think of."
Yun Chu smiled and said: "Since you can think of this step, it means that this death is not necessarily a disaster for you personally."
Wu Chengsi wiped away the tears streaming down his face and said, "Your Majesty, my heart aches to the extreme."
Yun Chu looked at Wu Chengsi for a moment and said, "The rice soup is about to get cold..."
After the artillery raged in Chang'an for six days, it finally stopped.
On the second day after the sound of artillery stopped ringing, Yunchu ordered that no firecrackers were allowed to be burned in Chang'an City... no more puppet shows were allowed, and no random beating of drums was allowed!
After the storm, although it cannot be said that the sky has cleared up, at least the monsters hidden in the dark can emerge.
The monsters include but are not limited to Wen Huan, Li Chengxiu, Yao Chong, Zhong Kui...
Compared with them, people like the Wu brothers, Lu Zhaolin, and Yang Jiong were actually people whom Yun Chu used openly to let the emperor vent his anger or to exchange money for his son.
With the tireless efforts of Wen Huan, Li Chengxiu, Yao Chong, and Zhong Kui, Yun Chu finally completed the overall layout of Chang'an.
??????????.??????
The 481 li long and branch heads of Chang'an are all controlled by the Yun family, the Wen family, the Di family, and the Li family. The nearly 1,400 treasuries in Chang'an are basically controlled by them.
People from the four families came to serve, and even the tax collectors responsible for collecting taxes came from the four families in Chang'an.
During a catastrophic disaster, it is difficult for people to pay attention to what the ants on the ground will look like. When the thunder clouds released by Li Zhi gradually disperse, people's focus is still on whether the thunder clouds will reunite. No
People should pay attention to some new faces appearing in the yamen.
Yun Chu allowed Chang'an and Wannian counties to have a large number of people who were not under his command, and he would never allow those in positions of responsibility to disobey him at important times.
After completely completing the layout, Yun Chu no longer looked down upon the new positions that appeared after the bombardment.
He honestly reported the vacancy in Chang'an to the emperor, and he was not prepared to place anyone there.
However, with his current status, even if he doesn't want it, the emperor will still leave a large number of positions for him in accordance with the principle of division of fruits, so as to appease his disturbed heart during this period.
The emperor's things have always had a principle - I can give it, but you can't steal it.
This applies especially to the Li and Tang royal families.
Therefore, when the emperor's secretary, Yun Jin, came to Li Zhi holding his father's memorial, he seemed particularly frightened.
Li Zhi glanced at Yun Jin and said, "Your father has always been a very unreasonable person. He behaved so humbly this time. Tell me, why?"
Yun Jin placed the memorial on the emperor's desk, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Your Majesty, please step aside."
Li Zhi glanced at Yun Jin who was sweating profusely and said, "It seems that the matter is very serious."
As he spoke, he waved the eunuch Gong E beside him to retreat, leaving only the eunuch Pingchun. After everyone left and closed the door, Li Zhi leaned over and looked at Yun Jin and said, "Tell me, your father did it."
Those things that cannot be justified by nature.”
Yun Jin wiped away the sweat and said: "When His Majesty was punishing those guys who were spying on the important weapons of the country, in order to avoid suspicion, I deliberately reduced the number of guards around me, so that others took advantage of me while taking a bath."
Li Zhi said in surprise: "Beauty trap? However, this strategy should be of no use to your father, right?"
Yun Jin knelt on the ground and said: "The beauty trap is a joke to my father. The problem lies in the beauty who appears this time..."
A fire seemed to appear in Li Zhi's deep eyes. He looked at Yun Jin and said, "The beauty is that old woman?"
Yun Jin said tremblingly: "It's Taiping. However, when my father saw her, he immediately wrapped her in a big towel. He also said that he had swaddled Li Si, swaddled Yun Jin, and swaddled Taiping.
first."
When Li Zhi heard this, he immediately stood up, took off the jade belt from his waist and slapped Yun Jin all over the head and face. While being beaten, Yun Jin defended himself and said: "My father is really unjust..."
Li Zhi slapped Yun Jin on the shoulder with his belt and roared: "Yunchu, a 250-year-old man, doesn't know that Taiping broke into his bathhouse? Even if there are no guards around, with his ability, he can't find Taiping hiding in the bathhouse?
This bastard just wants to see my jokes, I will let you see my jokes..."
Seeing Li Zhi's beating becoming more and more vigorous, Yun Jin raised his hand to resist and said: "My father only has the love and affection of his father for Taiping. Where does the love between men and women come from? Your Majesty knows it clearly."
Li Zhi beat him more vigorously, and even felt that beating him with his belt was not enough to vent his anger, so he kicked him.
"How could I not know that this is the Queen's plan? I know that how could Yunchu, a local snake in Chang'an, not know that he could clearly avoid it, but he allowed Taiping to enter his bathhouse just to see my jokes and laugh at me?
If the family is not run strictly, the children will not be educated.
If I don’t beat you to death today, you won’t be able to vent your anger.”
Yun Jin saw that the emperor knew everything and was clear about everything, so he stopped defending. Anyway, he had soft armor underneath his official uniform and soft armor on his arms. In addition, he was physically strong, so he could be beaten by the old and frail emperor.
It’s okay to vent your anger a few times.
Therefore, he only protected his head and face with his hands and allowed the emperor to beat him violently.
Sure enough, after a while, the emperor couldn't hold on any longer, threw away his belt, panted and fell on the soft couch, letting the eunuch Pingchun hold his chest to calm his breath.
Seeing that the emperor was about to breathe to death, Yun Jin quickly said: "My father has no intention of laughing at your majesty."
Li Zhi gasped and said: "He...is not smiling on the surface, but in his heart...he is laughing so hard that he is almost...dying."
"My father doesn't dare."
"Don't you dare? He laughed at Princess Tang's promiscuity in front of me back then, and said that it was a pity that he had never seen Princess Tang in this life!"
When Yun Jin heard what the emperor said, she immediately covered her ears and said, "A son will not listen to his father's fault."
Li Zhi stood up panting and kicked Yun Jin again: "He even discussed my sexual relationship with the queen with others. This kind of thing is disrespectful and disrespectful. I will never forgive him.
