Gao Guangguang used to work as an official in the Rites Department of Yingtian City. He didn't have much contact with Zhu Yunxi in the past few years, so he didn't know much about his temperament and habits.
At this moment, when Gao Gaoguang heard the emperor's grandson saying that he wanted to arouse the anger of the people, he naturally couldn't change his mind.
He frowned and muttered in a low voice: "Let the people vent their anger... How to vent it?"
Obviously, Gao Gaoguang's thinking is still stuck in the inherent mode of the imperial court and the government commanding the people. As for the problem of how to let the people vent their anger, if it were put in the past, I am afraid it would be directly defined as rioters.
What makes good people good?
Be docile and obedient, abide by the court system, and obey local officials. Only in this way can you be a good citizen.
Now Zhu Yunxi keeps asking people to vent their anger.
This is almost tantamount to condoning the common people's behavior.
The accompanying officials who came from Yingtian together with Gao Gaoguang also showed puzzled looks.
Pei Benzhi looked at Prince Yan with an ambiguous expression, obviously reacting and understanding.
Zhu Gaochi rolled his eyes twice and hummed in a low voice.
Based on my understanding of Brother Xi in the past few years, as long as I think about this matter in the most unlikely direction, it must be the most likely outcome.
He just wants to indulge, and even lead the people to do things that ordinary people dare not think of.
Almost instantly, Xiaopang had a premonition that there was a big commotion in the officialdom of Kaifeng Prefecture last night, and there will be a big turmoil outside the city today.
Zhu Yunxi waved his hand, not intending to explain clearly what he wanted to do in public, but waved his hand to indicate that everyone could rest on their own.
Watching the officials disperse one by one, Zhu Yunxi waved to Tian Mai not far away.
Tian Mai stepped forward with a stern face, bowed his hands and said, "Your Highness."
Zhu Yunxi raised his eyes and said: "Send someone back to Kaifeng Mansion and tell Yu Ma and Tang Bi that they will mobilize Yulin Youwei and Henan Dusi to each have a thousand households, with three times the number of swords and guns, and return here at night.
”
People with a background like Tian Mai never think too much about the purpose of Shangyi. They just need to follow orders.
Tian Mai immediately accepted the order and personally led several personal guards out of the camp, mounted his horse and hurried back towards Kaifeng Fucheng.
Watching Tian Mai lead the people away, Zhu Yunxi turned around and entered a tent behind him.
It is better to say that it is a tent than a piece of oilcloth covering a few wooden stakes and branches. Because everyone left the city today and did not want to rest outside the city, so although everything in the entire camp was arranged according to the rules of the march, it looked very...
Simple.
The soldiers brought in the boiled broken tea soup, and only the three brothers Zhu Yunxi were left under the tent.
Zhu Yunxi was holding a tea cup and sitting in this slightly simple tent. He didn't think there was anything wrong with the tea soup being brewed from broken tea. Instead, he smiled and tasted it with great satisfaction.
Zhu Shangbing is still the same. As long as the three of them are together, he doesn't have to use his brain.
Among the three people, Zhu Gaochi seemed the most worried.
"Are you tired of being like this every day?" Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but want to ridicule.
Zhu Gaochi's eyes immediately widened and he said angrily: "If you could let me go back to Peking now, I wouldn't be like this anymore."
Zhu Yunxi shut his mouth and let Xiaopang go back to Peking?
Isn’t this a waste of natural resources?
Waste is the greatest shameful thing in the world.
Zhu Gaochi lamented for a while with some regret and self-pity, and then he said in a low voice: "You asked Yu Ma, Tang Bi and the others to send two thousand households here, but they asked for three times as many weapons. What are you going to do?" Zhu Shangbing felt that this kind of question fell within his current professional scope, so he whispered from the side: "I am prepared to suffer losses."
Zhu Gaochi turned his head and glanced sideways, stared at Zhu Shangbing angrily, and sighed: "This is Henan Road, not Jiubian! Where does the attrition come from in the army!"
After finishing speaking, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but reach out and scratch his head, looking very annoyed.
This teammate cannot be brought along at all!
Zhu Shangbing said sheepishly, then lowered his head and clasped his hands.
Zhu Gaochi probably wouldn't live long if he was directly in front of these two people.
Turning to look at Zhu Yunxi who was still drinking tea, he said: "You don't want to distribute those things to the people here, do you?"
As soon as he said these words, Zhu Gaochi burped and said quickly: "You'd better not have such thoughts!"
The tone was full of warning.
Zhu Yunxi looked at Xiaopang slowly: "Since Brother Chi has such a suggestion, I will naturally do it according to Brother Chi's method."
Zhu Gaochi paused, his eyes widened, and his mouth opened wide: "That's not what I said!"
"This method is obviously what you just said."
Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Yunxi, who had a calm face, as if nothing was wrong, took a few deep breaths, and let out a long sigh: "Even if two more thousand households come, once the situation gets out of control, these two thousand people can't suppress the common people!
When the time comes, Henan Province will really turn into a mess. In the end, you will not be able to reap the benefits."
Zhu Gaochi's face was full of warning, and his eyebrows were about to be crushed by him.
Zhu Yunxi reached out and patted Xiaopang on the shoulder, and whispered: "This idea was inspired by those people outside Kaifeng today."
"Since they can use public opinion to try to intimidate us and coerce public opinion to coerce the court. Why can't we use this method to retaliate against them?"
Zhu Gaochi's eyes dimmed: "Do you really want to follow their example and take the lead in mobilizing the people to turn their heads against them? But... unarmed people and people armed with weapons are not the same thing."<
/p>
Only now did Zhu Shangbing, who had not been evaded, finally understand what the two of them were going to do.
He opened his mouth and said with a shocked look on his face: "You two are going to distribute weapons to the people here?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Zhu Gaochi hurriedly puffed up his chest and explained, "It's brother He who wants to do this, not me who has such ideas and plans."
"Hmm." Zhu Shangbing nodded: "Since Brother Xi thinks so, nothing will happen. Even if something does happen, he will naturally be there to support it..."
Zhu Shangbing shrank his head and muttered, and looked carefully at Zhu Gaochi, who had an unkind expression.
Zhu Shangbing curled his lips: "I don't understand. But I know that I, the Ming Dynasty, have been kind to the people in these years. How can the people of the Central Plains rebel now? In addition, Brother Xi still wants to help them vent their anger. Could it be that they
Can you still turn around and help those people deal with us?"
Zhu Shangbing was stunned for a while when he told Zhu Gaochi, his eyes were a little straight, but after thinking about it several times, he couldn't find anything wrong.
In the end, Zhu Gaochi could only drink twice in a sulky voice.
Zhu Yunxi was quite surprised that Zhu Shangbing suddenly spoke at this time. He said softly: "Don't worry, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty said that people are like water. Water can carry a boat and capsize it. But now, I, the Ming Dynasty, have begun to make that bundle of water.
It’s a matter of sand washing, isn’t the direction of public opinion something that can be guided?”
"As long as we stick to our true intentions and always stand together with the people, the rest of the things we have to do will naturally be successful."
Zhu Gaochi sighed softly, knowing that he could not change the other person's mind at this moment, so he could only shake his head and whisper: "What are you going to do? There are still things to do now, I will help you check the missing items and make up for it...
…”
A smile appeared on Zhu Yunxi's face, and he stretched out his hand to hook Xiaopang's neck. After the two of them got close, they began to murmur.
……
Next to the silted-up river connecting Yanming Lake and the Yellow River in Zhongmu County, the people who were full after eating a meal of pickles and fat meat today have begun to return to the river one after another under the reminder of the stewards.
On, dredging and work began.
The officers and stewards who were blocked from the camp took advantage of the opportunity for the crowd to disperse and carefully gathered in the corner, looking at the location of the camp with restrained eyes.
"What kind of fuss is going on? People just come when they come, take a look, say a few words, and then hide away without seeing anyone?"
A county government official frowned and muttered in a low voice.
Everyone else gathered together shook their heads in confusion.
Someone suggested in a low voice: "Should we inform the county officials?"
"You haven't gone to report to the county magistrate yet? Go quickly!"
The guard at the head had a look of disbelief on his face, and he felt a wave of irritation in his heart.
Two people immediately stood up and left in the direction of Zhongmu County.
A steward on the river looked away uneasily from the direction of the camp, lowered his head and guessed: "Do you think the Emperor Taisun saw something by doing this? Is he giving us a chance? So that we can learn from it.
Just like the ancients, you went to him with a thorn in your back to plead guilty?"
As soon as the steward finished speaking, he was slapped hard on the head by the leading servant.
The officer gritted his teeth and scolded in a low voice: "Are you out of your mind? Please excuse me? Didn't you hear about what happened in Kaifeng Mansion last night? The Fang Bo of the two divisions, Xantai, is still detained in the prison. What do you think?
Is it because the county official is so powerful, or are we just hard-headed enough?"
"Then what should we do now? The Emperor Taisun's western tour this time is on behalf of the imperial court and His Majesty. He was able to make such a big splash in Kaifeng City last night. As long as he catches us, we can still escape.
?"
The officer held his fist and smashed it on the ground in front of him a few times. He gritted his teeth and said, "As long as we don't tell anyone and keep an eye on these idiots, everything will be fine. The emperor's grandson can win two battles."
When a big shot is being held accountable, how can we, ordinary people without official status or rank, be held accountable?"
Several people discussed for a while, but in the end they couldn't escape the method of tightly binding these people.
After discussing for a while, the leading officer ordered a few people.
"You first go to the several houses in East Lake and let them take a good look at the people in other places. Don't make any mistakes at this time."
"Tell them that if they want to live forever, they must know what to do and what to say."
……
It's after dusk.
The last touch of orange light on the horizon was finally pulled and dragged below the horizon.
The sky also became dark in the blink of an eye.
Outside the camp, the guards and stewards from Zhongmu County finally paid a visit.
This group of people stayed far away and called into the camp.
Today, the work on the river is over, and the people have gone back to their homes, asking the emperor to move here to a kind family.
After a while, word came out from the camp that His Highness the Emperor Taisun had fallen asleep, and he asked all these people to retreat.
Outside the camp, it became completely deserted, and not a single person could be seen in the dark wilderness.
At the edge of the camp, Zhu Yunxi looked around at the silent night with faint eyes.
Zhu Shangbing tapped several places under the night, with a sarcastic smile on his face: "There are people hiding in these places, and they are watching us."
Zhu Gaochi opened his eyes and looked over following Zhu Shangbing's instructions, but he couldn't see any difference for a long time.
Zhu Shangbing raised his chin: "Can't you see the problem? You don't understand either."
I just said this to him during the day, and this kid is back now.
Zhu Gaochi snorted and clasped his hands together, but Zhu Shangbing ignored him and tried to show off.
This move directly blocked Zhu Shangbing.
Just when Zhu Shangbing wanted to continue teasing Zhu Gaochi.
Zhu Yunxi coughed slightly: "You and others should catch these voles, so as not to delay the subsequent matters."
Hearing this, Zhu Shangbing frowned, his face became stern, and his eyes instantly became sharp.
He remained silent, just waved his hand gently, and there were several groups of soldiers and horses hiding in the camp, always walking in the darkness. Zhu Shangbing personally led the people and disappeared into the night. p>
Zhu Yunxi crossed his arms and stood side by side with Zhu Gaochi.
"I have a hunch that if I continue to investigate this incident in Henan Province, I may have to take the time to return to Yingtian."
Zhu Gaochi was still searching in the night for Zhu Shangbing, who suddenly disappeared with his people. When he heard Zhu Yunxi next to him say these words, his brows jumped.
"What do you want to do?"
Zhu Yunxi shrugged: "It depends on what those people will choose after tonight's incident."
Zhu Gaochi frowned, he couldn't understand.
However, a few muffled sounds suddenly came from the distant night, which woke him up from his thoughts.
Zhu Gaochi turned his head and looked at the locations that Zhu Shangbing had just pointed out, and saw the officers and soldiers who quietly walked over under the night sky. They were already carrying many people who had hidden themselves and were rushing towards the camp. p>
Bang bang bang.
The Zhongmu County officers and stewards, with rags stuffed in their mouths and their hands and feet tied, were thrown into the open space in the middle of the camp.
No one cares what the fate of these people will be next.
Because in the distance, from the direction of Kaifeng Mansion, there was already a team, with their feet wrapped in cloth, taking advantage of the darkness and not lighting a torch, rushing over.
Zhu Yunxi patted and seemed to be still thinking about why Zhu Shangbing could really see Zhu Gaochi's shoulders where those people were hiding.
"Let's get started. This time we can break the situation with the help of the common people. Even if we go to the court afterwards and in front of the people of the world, we will be able to deal with it calmly."
Zhu Gaochi curled his lips: "You should show some propriety and rules, although the method used is still the same..."
"Unreasonable?"
Zhu Yunxi laughed at himself.
Zhu Gaochi spread his hands, greeted Gao Guang, Pei Benzhi and others, and greeted the two groups of officers and soldiers from Qianhu Station who came from Kaifeng Fucheng.
Beside the East Lake swamp, the singing and dancing that used to last day and night finally stopped temporarily due to the arrival of the emperor's grandson.
The bright lights make the entire East Lake illuminated in the dark.
In the darkness, people seem to have had omens and are waiting for something that is still unknown to happen.
Suddenly.
Under the night in the distance, there was a big movement.
It's an angry roar.
There is anger burning in the dark night.
Any slight movement will be infinitely magnified in the dark night.
The sudden movement from the darkness made the entire East Lake tremble violently.
"What happened?"
"What's happening outside?"
In this area of East Lake, in a family where one of the family's children is expected to become a scholar in the next high school, the middle-aged man rushed out of the house wearing a coat and shoes.
The stewards and servants outside the mansion had already rushed outside the master's house after hearing the commotion.
"Master...Master..."
"Something bad is going to happen..."
Bang bang.
The man gritted his teeth and stepped forward with an unkind expression. He raised his hand and slapped the steward who came over hard several times.
"Trash, tell me clearly what happened outside!"
The steward's legs went weak and he knelt on the ground: "Master, it's those mud-legged people! It's the mud-legged people who are rushing over! They are rushing towards the East Lake!"
"The mud-legged guy is rushing over?"
The man frowned and murmured something in a low voice. Then his shoulders suddenly trembled and he stared at the servants coming over with his eyes wide open.
"The Mud Legs are coming!"
The man's hands trembled, and he waved and hurriedly stepped towards the outside of the house: "Let's go! Go and take a look in front. Let everyone in the house get up, and everything is in hand. You guys want to take a look at these mud-legged people today.
I really can’t let this man ransack his house!”
The servants were panic-stricken, fearing that they and others would eventually become scapegoats.
But now that they saw the master's family, everyone started to become cruel, so these people could only follow and rush forward. When they arrived outside the mansion, all the family members and servants in the mansion were already holding sticks in their hands, and some even had sticks in their hands.
The one holding the knife.
Outside the East Lake Shuize.
Under the entire dark night, countless torches were lit.
The firelight illuminated the night and obscured the people under the torch.
"Smashed the East Lake Village!"
"Smashed the East Lake Village!"
"Stand up and take charge!"
"Stand up and take charge!"
"Smash Donghu Village, plant your own fields, and harvest your own grain!"
"Smashed the East Lake Village, made a full stomach, and married a mother-in-law!"
In the dark night, countless people shouted hard.
The momentum is huge and can be described as surging like a tide.
Under the distant night, Zhu Gaochi clenched his hands tightly and kept staring at the torches rushing towards Donghu Village.
"There are still too few people. They are basically our people."
"This still won't work."
Zhu Yunxi faced the night wind and gently stretched out his hands in front of him.
"The people are waiting, they are waiting for us."
"Their anger is hidden deep, and their anger must be brought out!"
After finishing speaking, Zhu Yunxi nodded to Zhu Shangbing on the other side.
Zhu Shangbing immediately grabbed a horn from the guard.
Under the night, a horn sounded on the plain of Kaifeng Mansion.
