Chapter 819 Dragon Boat Festival Asking and Beheading
The next two days were relatively quiet.
The story of Gongsun Yan's arrest spread wildly in Yongding City, and Lu Yuanjin also appeared in Longshou Mountain again. Everything seemed to be developing in the direction that the people of Dahui expected.
The notice about asking Gongsun Yan has not been released yet, so Chu Xianping probably needs to "warm up" it first, hoping to arouse public anger to the maximum extent.
But the news of the entry of 200,000 troops has quietly drifted into Yongding City.
Of course, no matter how severely damaged the country is in the Great Rebellion, the current national strength can still barely cope with these 200,000 people.
But with Wei Changtian, that's not necessarily the case.
Probably because they were afraid of being retaliated by this "Wei Yanluo", the Dahui military still did not make any move, and just watched helplessly as the army crossed the Dahui border and headed straight for Yongding.
From this point of view, the major forces in the Great Return should not be betting, and they are clearly waiting for everything to settle.
Should they continue to serve the "old master" or turn to support the "new king"... These powerful figures did not feel that the situation was very clear.
After all, no matter what, Wei Changtian never left Yongding.
As long as Wei Changtian doesn't leave, the battle for the throne is not over yet.
Everyone understands this truth, but few people know what Wei Changtian is waiting for.
It wasn't until the early morning of April 28th, when a long notice was posted on the notice boards in front of each government office, that someone vaguely thought of something.
...
The notice about asking Gongsun Yan was very long, and different from the cold official language in the past, this time the content was painstaking and sincere.
To put it simply, Lu Yuanjin first carefully "summarized" how much his Lu family had contributed to the development of Dahui and how much achievements they had made.
Then, he deeply mourned his father Lu Hongji, who was killed by Wei Changtian, and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who died on the Xinfeng battlefield.
Oh, there are also his younger brother Lu Yuansong and Kang Wang Lu Xiangshan.
In short, this is not so much a notice as a "letter to the people."
After laying the groundwork, Lu Yuanjin changed his direction and used a lot of pen and ink to accuse Gongsun Yan of his crimes.
Collaborating with the enemy, conspiring to rebel, killing civilians...etc.
Of course, Gongsun Yan did all these things, and Lu Yuanjin was right except for exaggerating.
However, there was no mention of the other "accomplice" Wei Changtian in the second half of the notice.
This is actually not difficult to understand.
After all, Wei Changtian is living openly and openly in Yongding City, but Lu Yuanjin has nothing to do with him, not even sending people to show off.
Therefore, mentioning it would be a slap in the face, and it would be better not to mention it.
But since Gongsun Yan is already in his hands, he can absolutely curse him.
After a lot of scolding, the notice finally read:
[Gongsun Yan’s crime was so heinous that it was not tolerated by the world. Even though he held the title, he could not redeem it. Therefore, at noon on the seventh day of the rebellion, he was taken to the city cao’s office to be executed in public! 】
At this point, the news about Wenzhan Gongsunyan was finally made public.
As luck would have it, the fifth day of May seven days later is the Dragon Boat Festival.
If nothing else, this should be the most impressive Dragon Boat Festival for millions of people in Yongding City.
...
...
Zhuwu Inn.
"Sir, the announcement has been made."
Unlike the suddenly noisy atmosphere outside the inn, the courtyard was still quiet.
Zhang San hurriedly walked into the study to report the news to Wei Changtian, who was writing something at this time without even raising his head.
"Oh, I see."
"Just in time, send this letter back to Shuzhou City."
After writing the last few words vigorously, he folded the letter paper and stuffed it into the envelope and handed it to Zhang San.
After Zhang San took it, he glanced at it and saw that there was no name written on the envelope, so he asked very seriously:
"Sir, which lady is this addressed to?"
"...Lu Jingyao."
"Yes, I will go and do it now."
Zhang San responded and quickly left the room with the letter.
Wei Changtian, on the other hand, shook his wrist in relief, as if writing a letter had exhausted him.
After traveling through time for so long, he is now fully accustomed to daily communication, but he is still not very skilled at writing letters.
Therefore, the reply to Lu Jingyao was delayed for several days, and I finally got through it today.
"Oh, I said before that we would vigorously promote Mandarin..."
Recalling the ambition he had set when he first arrived in Shuzhou and was tortured by writing letters, Wei Changtian muttered in a low voice and threw the brush into the washbasin.
Yang Liushi on the side helped him wash his pen and asked curiously:
"Ms. sir, what is Mandarin?"
"It's just vernacular."
Wei Changtian curled his lips: "Why can't you write in vernacular?"
"Goose goose, that's someone else."
Yang Liushi smiled and said, "Even if my husband writes in vernacular, no one would dare to say anything."
"Too......"
After being reminded by Yangliu Shi, Wei Changtian suddenly realized that with his current status, he seemed to be able to "do whatever he wanted" in many things.
Forget about using vernacular, no one dares to care even if you write a letter in English.
"By the way, where is Li Zimu?"
Shaking his head and no longer thinking about these things, Wei Changtian asked doubtfully: "I haven't seen her all morning. Isn't she going to find Chu Xianping?"
"Keke, if Zimu really went to find Chu Xianping, why wouldn't he tell you?"
Yang Liushi gently shook the washed brush, and her white wrists were like white lotus roots under her rolled-up sleeves.
"She went to learn cooking skills from Miss Qin."
"Learn to cook?"
Wei Changtian was greatly puzzled: "Is she too busy? Why should she learn this if she has nothing to do?"
"Oh, it's not a bad thing that the girl cooks good food."
Yang Liushi smiled and said, "Maybe I can marry into a good family."
"Put it down. Marriage is God's will."
Wei Changtian rolled his eyes: "You, Wan'er, and Qin'er don't know how to cook, so you can't marry well."
"Keke, my husband, you are so shameless."
Yang Liushi smiled even more: "How can anyone praise themselves like this?"
"It's just the truth."
Wei Changtian sighed: "Li Zimu's luck is not as good as yours in this aspect."
"yes."
The smile on his face gradually faded, and Yang Liushi echoed softly: "Actually, the Nu family has always felt that Mr. Tang and Zimu are a good match, but they didn't expect that it would turn out like this in the end."
"Tsk, what happened to Tang Chen was entirely her own fault."
Wei Changtian said disdainfully: "Chu Xianping made it clear that he was not as interested in her as Tang Chen, but she still chose Chu Xianping. Who can blame her?"
"But emotional matters always have to be mutually agreeable."
Yang Liushi shook his head and argued for Li Zimu: "Zimu likes Chu Xianping, so there is nothing we can do about it."
"Okay, okay, I won't argue with you anymore."
Waving his hands and standing up, Wei Changtian stopped arguing with Yang Liushi about Li Zimu's emotional issues, and mumbled about going out to find a notice to read.
But at this moment, Zhang San, who had just left not long ago, appeared in front of him again.
