Chapter 711: Lin Chong has the world in mind and dares to be the first. If he is not a hidden dragon, who can do it?
"Whoop! Whoop!"
"Fortunately, I arrived at the Shangyuan Lantern Festival...otherwise I might not have been able to escape the capture of the Imperial City Division..."
The full moon was shining brightly in the night sky, the lanterns on the surrounding buildings were swaying, and the streets were filled with people. It was actually more lively than during the day. Lan Congxi lowered his head and hid among them, just like an ordinary person in his early forties.
Today is the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, the eve of the Lantern Festival. "The scenery changes, the capital is twelve, the Lantern Festival is thirty-five, and the silver toads are full of light."
Starting from the Sui Dynasty, the display of lanterns has become the main folk activity on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. It flourished in the Tang Dynasty. By the Song Dynasty, the splendor of the Bianjing Lantern Festival has become the most lively festival of the year.
First of all, in terms of time, the states and counties in the Song Dynasty put out lanterns for one to three days, while Bianjing put out lanterns for five days every year, from the fourteenth to the eighteenth day of the first lunar month.
Then in terms of scale, the government supervisors, the mansions of powerful people, the seventy-two main stores and even the shops of major guilds will hire famous craftsmen to tie lanterns and build lantern mountains to compete with each other.
At this time, Lan Congxi saw that not far away from the Zhengdian Huixian Tower, a huge lantern mountain was erected, wrapped in silk brocade and decorated with gold and silver. Hundreds of large and small lanterns were hung together, with colorful clouds.
, the rays of light attract many people to stop and watch.
At this level, it is not the top, and even a little perfunctory. Lan Congxi clearly remembers that the lantern mountain hanging outside the Fan Tower last year was breathtaking and unforgettable at first sight. It was made by hundreds of skilled craftsmen.
The luxurious results of Kung Fu.
After all, whose lantern mountain will win the most applause when it is unveiled, whose face will be shining. For the rich and powerful, what they compete for is face, while for main stores and shops, what they compete for is the value of the brand.
In addition, in the past, officials often went out of the palace to watch lanterns and enjoy themselves with the people. If they could win the emperor's attention, it would be an even greater honor.
"Now this official will not come out. At least until the news of my death is confirmed, I am afraid that I will have trouble sleeping and eating!"
Lan Congxi thought maliciously, without a smile on her face.
If he had a choice, he really didn't want to be angry with the emperor, even if it made the Nine-Fifth Lord unable to sleep, what could he do? These days, the capital's increasingly strict searches and various land and water investigations have forced him into
Desperate situation.
The key is that Lan Congxi can't see hope. If King Jian Zhao Si is still there, he really wants to join him and gain the merit of Conglong. But Zhao Si is missing and the other three princes are either ill or ill.
, or are you cowardly and incapable of doing anything, why should you look for other Zhao clan members?
Obviously it’s even more unreliable!
The most desperate thing is to be full of secrets but not have a suitable master to take refuge in...
"It turns out that this is how Zhao Zhongcheng was killed, and Dong Ping is really a villain!"
"This thief is a subordinate of the eunuchs. He colluded with the Western thief. He deserves to die!"
"Sure enough, there are enemy countries with evil plans, causing trouble and trying to destabilize the peaceful and prosperous age of our Song Dynasty!"
Just as he was frowning, the sound of discussion suddenly came from not far away.
Lan Congxi looked sideways and saw a large group of people surrounding the notice, listening to the yamen officer read out the document. The voices of several scholars among them were particularly loud, which attracted everyone's agreement.
As soon as the word "eunuch" came into his ears, he couldn't help but slow down and listen carefully.
Nowadays, in addition to being known to everyone in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he also has a new name with Yang Jian, Jia Xiang and others, called the Eunuch Party.
In terms of alliances of forces, this title is not wrong. If eunuchs form a party for personal gain, aren't they called eunuchs?
But Lan Congxi knew very well that with such certainty, the person who raised the butcher's knife that night and massacred the servants became a hero.
He didn't quite understand why the scholar-bureaucrats tolerated what Gao Qiu did. Could it be that they chose to put aside their past feud when they saw that Gao Qiu couldn't suppress his momentum?
With the lofty status of the scholar-officials, this is impossible...
"Did Gao Qingtian solve this case?"
"No, no, no, Thief Dong died at the hands of Lin Chong from Sui'an Academy!"
"Does Sui'an Academy know about it? It ranks first in the imperial exam, even Songyang Academy among the eight major academies is ranked lower. That Dean Lin is both civil and military, chivalrous and courageous!"
"It's hard to control eunuchs and eunuchs, but it's all down to the heroes of the academy, who will fight to the death to protect the emperor!"
Soon, when he heard the scholars trying to describe it in words that the common people liked to hear and could understand, Lan Congxi understood and continued to walk forward.
As expected, those group of scholar-bureaucrats did not give in and put all the credit for cleaning up the eunuchs on the head of Lin Erlang.
Most of the people were illiterate, so the words on wanted notices and the reading of important documents were all learned through the government officials. The words of the scholars naturally became deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and were passed down from word to mouth.
Public opinion speaks louder than words. It is easy to slander someone, but it is even easier to praise someone.
Especially Lin Erlang, who was originally a celebrity. He wiped out Wuyou Cave, arrested Ming Zunjiao, and now he has eliminated the eunuchs...
As I was walking, I saw Sui'an Academy not far ahead.
Lan Congxi made a special observation and found that there were also lanterns hung in front of the courtyard gate. They were simple and plain, obviously not for comparison, but just for a lively and festive occasion.
There was a group of people surrounding me outside, most of them parents who came here because of their reputation, and many scholars came to visit me with name cards.
"It is rare for Lin Chong to have such achievements and prestige despite his young age and white body..."
"Hey, why don't these talented people outside the temple just rebel?"
Lan Congxi stared at it for a moment, then withdrew his gaze and sighed secretly.
No matter how good the high-sounding reasons are, the prestige of the imperial court is getting lower and lower with the successive murders. It is the time when all the heroes in the world are rising up. He is now desperate. If there is a rebel force that can become a force, it will be just right.
Take refuge in the past and fight with justice.
It is a pity that the Song Dynasty's policy of strong internal suppression caused the insurgent armies in various places to only stir up a trivial splash and then calm down. The two major cults that have caused the biggest disturbance so far are the Ming Zun Sect and the Maitreya Sect.
Organized uprising.
No! There is one more person!
“I don’t know where ‘Zuo Ming’ is and how he can get in touch with this traitor...”
"It is said that the Queen Mother's secret edict is in the hands of this person. If I were there again, wouldn't it be a perfect match? I would be able to use the edict on clothes and belts to punish the thieves immediately, and rebel in a legitimate way!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "No, some officers and soldiers are targeting me!"
Just as he was thinking about whether he might be able to get in touch with the villain, Lan Congxi keenly noticed that several eyes were falling on him not far away.
He remained calm and immediately walked towards the crowd.
When he merged into the turbulent flow of people, the security guards hurriedly chased him, but they could only find that the target who looked like a wanted criminal was nowhere to be found.
Lan Congxi, who turned left and right and easily got rid of the people behind him, breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't realize that there was a cat following him on the wall.
As early as that night in the palace, the Miao Miao Legion had been guarding outside the palace city. Once someone left the city, they immediately started to follow them, so that they could accurately grasp the movements of Lan Congxi and his group. After that, Lan Congxi's men failed, and this person saw
When the situation was bad, he escaped early and was not caught by the Imperial City Division, but he was still under Xiao Hei's control.
At the intersection, the cat on the wall passed by another cat. The first cat changed its route and took a shortcut and ran quickly, while the new cat followed slowly.
This is a lesson learned from Dong Ping. Tracking no longer relies solely on the concealment of civet cats, but selects smart elites to cross-follow and lock the target.
Xiao Hei stood on the corner of the high eaves, overlooking the scene, with a look of satisfaction on his face, but he quickly listened, and then looked up with his golden vertical pupils.
It heard the cry of the eagle, and saw the increasingly majestic figure soaring in the air. It even glanced down, and its cry became more joyful.
Xiao Hei also waved his paw and said hello to his companion who was also sprinting towards the realm of spiritual beasts.
“The condor that ‘serves fate’?”
Also hearing the sound was Lan Congxi below, who was immediately ecstatic and chased forward following Ying'er's voice.
At first, I walked quickly, but when I saw that there were no officers and soldiers patrolling nearby, I just started running.
Finally, the eunuch, who was out of breath from running, looked up and saw several tall and tall figures standing on the eaves.
The most eye-catching leader was none other than the legendary broad-robed man with big sleeves. He swore in front of the palace to change the dynasty, which made the officials hate him, but they had no choice but to "submit their orders."
Compared with when he appeared alone at that time, the great rebel now had four more people under his command. One Taoist and one student were unknown to each other, but the other two were very familiar. Lan Congxi shouted with joy.
: "Judge Gongsun! Judge Ding!"
Gongsun Zhao and Ding Run turned around and looked over with some surprise: "Does the Ministry of Internal Affairs know about Lan Congxi?"
"Come up!"
Dong Yunzi recited a mantra, and a breeze enveloped Lan Congxi, causing him to rise up and come to the front.
Lan Congxi immediately kowtowed down and kowtowed to the figure in broad robes: "I am lucky enough to be able to see the beauty of heaven!"
Li Yan put his hands behind his back and said one word without comment: "Say."
Listening to the plain tone, Lan Congxi did not dare to flatter him any more, and immediately began to tell the serious story: "Zhao Song Hunjun killed his mother, what the old slave said with his own eyes was shocking, that night..."
As he told the story, Dong Yunzi, Gongsun Zhao, Zhu Wu and Ding Run all became more and more angry.
Especially Gongsun Zhao. Apart from arranging formations, he also took out the files of the Bloody Eagle case from time to time. When he heard the specific details, he clenched his fists and his face was as heavy as water: "Zhao Song Wudao.
, when we build a new dynasty!"
Hearing that this cold-faced judge who was originally loyal to the court had such a firm will to rebel, Lan Congxi hurriedly kowtowed to the ground: "This old slave is about to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side. I hope your majesty will take him in!"
The air became quiet, and people looked at him with half-smiling eyes. Gongsun Zhao even said coldly: "How can we accept all evil people just for the sake of rebellion?"
Ding Run even laughed and said: "And your title is wrong. It's too early to please the new king!"
Lan Congxi was confused, and then he saw the cuffs of "Zuoming" raised slightly, and a strong wind blew over. He fell softly and fell unconscious immediately.
Li Yan concluded calmly: "The Empress Dowager's clothing edict was used as physical evidence. Everyone knows that Lan Congxi's witness can be used to convict the emperor of patricide. However, this method of prosecution is not to change the dynasty, but to force the emperor Zhao Ji to abdicate. In addition,
If you choose the emperor of Zhao and Song, I won’t take it!”
Dong Yunzi, Gongsun Zhao and Zhu Wu nodded one after another, while Ding Run rolled his eyes and said: "This person mistakenly thought that the senior was the new king, so he would like to please him like that. Please forgive Ding for being rude. I don't know the Qianlong that the senior has decided. But
Do you have any clues?"
Li Yan turned around and looked at everyone with his shining eyes: "Don't be restrained, Qianlong's recommendation is of great importance. Do you have anyone to choose?"
Dong Yunzi raised his palms in salute: "Senior, you know Xiaodao well, but Xiaodao is not good at this aspect of things."
Zhu Wu moved his lips slightly, but after thinking for a while he still made no suggestion. Gongsun Zhao also remained silent.
Ding Run saw that none of the three people said anything. Although he came last, he felt he had to do his part: "I think the Qianlong who can change the dynasty and establish a new dynasty is none other than Mr. Lin Chong, the dean of Sui'an Academy where Master Zhu is!
"
Zhu Wu's eyes were greatly moved, and Gongsun Zhao also raised his eyebrows: "Brother, this matter is of great importance and cannot be decided rashly."
Ding Run curled his lips: "Is it difficult to choose Qianlong? I don't think it is difficult at all. Not everyone can be the emperor. Many people can be generals, great Confucians, and prime ministers, but they just can't be the emperor, let alone
Founder of the country!"
"I know that many people are willing to follow the dragon's merits, but they dare not fight for the throne. This is because if they lose, they will have no way out. They will die without a burial place and the whole family will be wiped out. But you can't choose people randomly just because of this, right?"
"You are too cautious, looking forward and backward. As far as I can see now, Lin Chong is both civil and military, and has a broad mind to lead talents. The people in the academy have been taught so well by him. These are all the team members who will succeed in the future. With someone like him
Is this what you want to see if you don't follow a capable person and choose someone else to be the founding monarch, causing chaos and disintegration in the world and making the people miserable?"
After Zhu Wu heard this, he was silent for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he nodded heavily: "Brother Ding's words awakened the dreamer. I second President Lin to be Qianlong!"
Dong Yunzi said: "Xiao Dao has not had much contact with this person. In terms of force alone, this person is extremely tyrannical. Recently, his reputation has been widely spread in the capital. Even states and counties have heard about it. Such a heroic figure is indeed worthy of following!"
Gongsun Zhao naturally knew how many things his brother had done, but he still had some scruples: "As far as I am concerned, I hope that my brother can take on this important responsibility, but I will never do anything about my brother teaching and educating people, being indifferent to fame and fortune, and forcing others to rebel.
Won’t do it!”
Ding Run snorted: "I don't think Mr. Lin is indifferent at all, he just doesn't bother to achieve ordinary achievements!"
"Don't believe it. If it weren't for Mr. Lin, how could Brother Gao get the name of Qingtian? After the chaos in the capital, there wouldn't be such peace as the Shangyuan Lantern Festival. He really serves the country and the people, and has the world in mind. He is the only one.
The only drawback is that I haven’t married yet, so being childless is a big problem!”
"Given Mr. Lin's talent, there should be many matchmakers coming to propose marriage. Doesn't he look down on it? I've been quite anxious thinking about this these past few days..."
The other three fell silent. The topic seemed a bit off-topic, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was not off-topic. They couldn't help but look at the figure in the broad robe and long sleeves.
I saw senior "Zuoming" raising his head and looking at the bright full moon in the distance. After a while, he said calmly:
"If Lin Chong is as you say, with the world in mind and the courage to be the first, as Judge Ding said, if he is not a hidden dragon, who can be?"
