In the autumn and September of the first year of Jingde in the Song Dynasty, Zhao Yuanfen, the king of Eyong who was ordered to stay in Bianliang, contracted a serious illness. After hearing the news, the officials suspended their personal expedition and rushed back to Huazhou day and night. Before entering the city, King Yong had died. The officials were in mourning and dismissed the court.
On the third day, immediately after Princess Yong murdered her maid during her mourning period, her title was deprived of her title, and she and her son were resettled in Qingzhou...
When the series of lightning-like actions ended, peace returned to Bianliang. Even though the people knew that it would take a day and a night to return to Bianliang from Huazhou, no one openly questioned the official rhetoric.
As the people at the feet of the emperor, Li Shu, the people of Bianliang, the most virtuous place, have never seen any battles? Looking far away, there was the Chenqiao mutiny, and the yellow robes were added. Looking closer, there was the "Zhu" in the ninth year of Kaibao.
"Shadow ax sound", which one was not louder than this time? (Note: Candle shadow ax sound. Zhao Kuangyin was seriously ill, so he summoned Zhao Guangyi. Someone heard the ax falling to the ground. That night, Zhao Kuangyin died, and it was passed to Zhao Guangyi.)
And after the "turmoil" is over, the people's lives are still going on as usual? How can they not worry about labor such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea? How can they have time to take care of the "fighting between gods"?
As for "violent death", it was even more common in the imperial city of the Song Dynasty and near the roots of the imperial city.
The two sons of the former emperor Chai Rong both contracted serious diseases and died suddenly when they were approaching adulthood. The youngest son of Emperor Taizu, Zhao Defang, also died of the same "evil disease" in the middle of the night.
Nowadays, the "evil disease" has fallen on the four famous kings all over the world. Of course, it is "normal"!
What's more, the "liveliness" that night and the next morning all took place in the inner city, especially the inner city near the root of the imperial city. Originally, it was out of reach of most Bianliang people.
These days, without 300,000 to 50,000 yuan of money at your side, and without the title of a seventh- or eighth-rank official, who has the nerve to live in the inner city?
Ordinary people have long moved to the outer city to live. Even for business, they rarely go to the inner city.
In the inner city, the closer the houses were to the roots of the imperial city, the further away they were from ordinary people.
Ordinary people would not go in and take a look at the mansions near Donghua Gate. Even if they were tired from walking and sat on the stone steps at the gate, they would be chased away by evil servants with whips like wild dogs. Nowadays, these
Whether the mansion was demolished or burned down is none of the ordinary people's business!
Therefore, the turmoil about the "violent death of King Yong" was quickly forgotten. The streets were still peaceful, and Bianliang City was still full of music and singing at night.
Qin Tower and Chu House are still full of patrons.
As for a certain benefactor who once spent a lot of money, he has disappeared since the day when "King Yong died violently". A certain popular shopkeeper who has passed his prime is suddenly sought after by a strange official from another country. He is reborn and belongs to Bianliang.
Daily life in the city.
The people of the Song Dynasty living in Bianliang were the happiest and lucky group in the world.
A population of one million means countless business opportunities. The emperor's feet mean that officials dare not scratch the ground easily.
Therefore, as long as you are diligent with your hands and feet and can control your eyes and mouths, you don't have to worry about tomorrow's rations.
Of course, it would be even better if there were no warning messages coming from other places every day.
Most people in Bianliang can "live a carefree life without knowing the rise and fall of heaven and earth." Unfortunately, nine out of ten things in the world are not as they wish.
On the sixth day after the officials returned to Bianliang, a messenger sent a warning that the Liao army captured Xingzhou and Cizhou. Immediately afterwards, Xiangzhou and Puzhou also fell into the hands of the Queen Mother Xiao Chuo.
In mid-September, Zhe Weichang and his Yong'an Army officers who came all the way from Fuzhou to King Qin were ambushed by heavy Khitan troops and defeated. Zhe Weichang himself was shot by an arrow and fell from his horse, but was rescued by his own soldiers desperately. His life and death were uncertain.
Once Xiangzhou and Puzhou were lost, the Khitan soldiers and horses formed a pincer attack on Chanzhou. Among the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty who came from the northwest to serve as kings, the most powerful one was Zhe Jiaerlang.
Zhe Weichang was injured in an ambush, and his life or death was unknown. The morale of the other soldiers and horses of the King of Qin was greatly affected. They immediately stopped and did not dare to move closer to Chanzhou, lest they make the same mistake as Zhe Weichang.
As a result, the only ones left who can continue to support the Chanzhou front line are the Song armies south of the Yellow River.
However, Li Jihe, the governor of the Zhenrong Army, was poisoned by the gangsters and died. At the Henan camp in Gucheng, the old general Han Chonggui led another group of soldiers who had been patched together and stayed on the south bank of the Yellow River to defend themselves.
If you have more than enough, taking the initiative to cross the river and carry it on your back is tantamount to committing suicide.
Therefore, after staying in the imperial city for seven days and hastily reorganizing the official order after the death of King Yong, Zhao Heng, an official of the Song Dynasty, had no choice but to lead various forbidden troops and rush to Huazhou at night and under the stars.
The important task of staying in Bianliang naturally fell on the head of the new Kaifeng governor Wang Shu.
Wang Shu worked steadily and had no ambitions. He also performed his duty as a loyal minister during the recent turmoil. Therefore, both Zhao Heng himself and all the forces in the court believed that Bianliang would be defeated.
Leave it to him so that everyone has no worries.
However, Wang Shu himself was not as confident in himself as Zhao Heng and other forces. On the first day after the official left, he picked up the curfew order again.
Except for the most prosperous streets in the Imperial City, Kaifeng Prefecture and the inner city, no people, cars or horses are allowed to pass through at will from Hai hour (9 p.m.) to Yin hour of the next day every night.
All city gates in the inner city of Bianliang are also completely closed during this period, and no entry or exit is allowed unless there is an emergency military situation.
Now, many people are complaining.
However, Wang Shu was still not satisfied, and soon issued a second strict order to interrogate the three religions, nine streams, and wealthy guests in the two cities inside and outside Bianliang. Anyone whose official official document (Song Dynasty ID card) description did not match his or her appearance or accent.
, arrest them all and interrogate them strictly.
This time, it completely stirred up a hornet's nest.
Bianliang City has a population of one million, how could it be possible that all of them were born and raised in the local area? Many people in the world have committed crimes in their hometown, and their first choice to make a living and hide is Bianliang.
The secret agents of Goryeo, Dali, Daliao and other countries also like to hide in Bianliang City. While enjoying the feasting and feasting in the city, they can get close to dignitaries and spy on information useful to their country.
Wang Shu commanded the officers of Kaifeng Prefecture, and launched a large-scale screening like a dragnet. Not only the elites from various countries were frightened, but also the people in the world who were hiding and making a living in Bianliang were also complaining.
These people had a wide network of contacts and immediately sent messages through various channels to the deep mansion compound near the imperial city, requesting influential nobles in the court to come forward to prevent Wang Shu from "chaos".
The nobles all knew what had happened in the imperial city recently, so they did not dare to come forward easily. However, they could not lose face and refused directly. So, they pushed each other away, you pushed me, I pushed you, and finally pushed.
Pushing him away, he entrusted the favor to the eunuchs in the palace.
It happened that the old eunuch Huang Hao, who had just been promoted to the right class, thought he had some friendship with Wang Shu. So he accepted the generous gifts from outside and went to convey his "lower feelings" to Wang Shu in a big way.
"Huang Du knows something, and I have no choice but to do this." Wang Shu was already prepared in his heart. After hearing Huang Hao's roundabout request, he immediately smiled bitterly and handed over his hand, "Half a month ago, here in Kaifeng Mansion, Bei Division
With Zhe Weizhong and Han Jiajun in the Southern Division, naturally there is no need for soldiers. But now, Zhe Weizhong asked for leave to visit his brother Zhe Weichang in the Yong'an Army, but Han Jiajun left with his seal and disappeared. If I don't guard against Wei Du Jian,
If there are gangsters who attack the imperial city like they did a few days ago, then where can I find the second person and risk my life to stand in front of the imperial concubine and the eldest son of the emperor!"
