In the days that followed, the Jinyiwei policemen were circling the streets like crazy, arresting anyone they didn't like. Jinyiwei's jail cells were already insufficient, and even the cells in Shuntian Prefecture and Wanping Daxing County were also packed.
It was full. In the end, I had no choice but to send it to the barracks of the Fu army's vanguard. Fortunately, the Fu army's vanguard had not yet recovered its strength. The number of soldiers was less than half, and some of them had rooms filled with prisoners...
As for why he was not sent to the largest prison of the Ministry of Justice, the reason is also very simple - anyone with a discerning eye can see that Wang Xian is openly going against the emperor's wishes. If it weren't for the emphasis on not punishing him in the first month, Uncle Zhongyong's black gauze hat might have been destroyed.
It has to be picked off.
Fortunately, Shuntian Prefecture Yin Li Pan was quite sensible and knew that he and Wang Xian were a grasshopper on the same rope. To put it bluntly, Wang Xian was helping him to carry out severe beatings, and he was carrying out them with an intensity that was completely unimaginable.
It is said that there are hundreds or even thousands of local gangsters, kidnappers and troublemakers who have been arrested! The public security in the capital is very good these days. It is an exaggeration to say that people do not pick up things on the road, but it is definitely not closed at night.
There is no way, criminals are human beings too! Seeing those heavily armed guards in uniform arresting people on the streets like crazy, some extremely vicious people who dared to resist arrest were shot into a hornet's nest by bows, arrows and muskets! Not to mention being arrested, they even ran away.
Maybe he's being shot! It's really scary! Those big brothers and bosses were so scared that they all stayed at home and didn't dare to go out. They were roaming the streets extorting money, extorting money, and abducting people, and they all disappeared.
Densely packed, there is no one left! Youdao means that in the face of dictatorship, all reactionaries are paper tigers, that’s what it means!
As a result, the public security in the capital has improved, and people are more daring to go out. In addition, the Lantern Festival is coming soon, and colorful buildings on Dengshan Mountain have also been put up. Every household comes out to celebrate the Lantern Festival. The streets are crowded, and the population is much denser than before the crackdown.
...Wang Xian, who wanted to create an atmosphere of terror and scare the people away from home, almost became so angry that he was so angry...
There is no way, this is the city of Beijing, and the people only recognize Zhu Di. Since the emperor has spoken and said that he will have a carnival and celebrate the Yuan Dynasty, the people will celebrate and stay up all night. How can they care about what Wang Xian is? The city of Beijing supports the Holy Emperor.
When he was in the cavalry, he didn’t know where to feed him!
Seeing that he could not stop this Shangyuan carnival, Wang Xian had no choice but to change his strategy from containment to protection and prevention. He ordered his soldiers to divide into areas, register all participating lantern festivals and theater troupes, and register them.
They were allowed to appear at the Lantern Festival carnival only after all props and materials were inspected and found to be safe.
At dusk, many fireworks were eagerly lit in the capital. Wang Xian and others standing on the top of Chongwenmen City could smell the clear smell of gunpowder smoke.
"The smell of fireworks is the smell of the Spring Festival." Looking at the magnificent city of Beijing, which has been set up and waiting for dark, hundreds of lanterns, large and small, and thousands of colorful doors, Li Pan raised his hair
The pride of being the governor of Sunchon!
"But I smell the flames of war." Wang Xian's face showed no trace of expression, and his pupils were reflected red by the setting sun.
"Uncle, you are worrying too much," Li Pan said with a smile: "After such a long period of time and such high-intensity security, I believe that this Lantern Festival will be safe and perfect."
"No, there are too many people." Wang Xian shook his head and said: "We can still control the situation before the event starts, but when it gets dark and the event begins, the gods have no choice but to leave it to fate..."
"It'll be okay." Li Pan smiled to relieve Wang Xian's pressure, and then left. As the governor of Shuntian and the highest local governor in the capital, he has to light the lights for tonight's event! This is his honor.
He cannot refuse and will not refuse.
After Li Pan left, Wang Xian said to Wu Weidao: "You know my intuition, it's always very accurate..."
"Yes." Wu Wei nodded. How could he not know that he had followed Wang Xian for many years? With this intuition, Wang Xian led them to escape countless dangers! He sighed: "But this time,
It is indeed beyond our control. Just like Mr. Yan said, do your best and let fate dictate."
"Hey..." Wang Xian exhaled a breath of thick air and looked towards Houhai in the distance. He felt a burst of guilt in his heart. He worked hard and finally let Baoyin and Ah Heng stay with him to celebrate the New Year, but he spent the whole day
They were not allowed to go out to enjoy the lanterns tonight... Baoyin was reasonable and knew that Wang Xian was worried about their safety, so she said nothing. But the more this happened, the more apologetic Wang Xian felt...
The first month of the lunar month was short, and the sky was full of western ocean just now. At this time, the sky was already dark. Wang Xian tightened his cloak and said to the brothers on the side: "Let's all go..." He knew that there would be nothing to say tonight.
It was useless, because there was nothing that thousands of guards in uniform could do in the sea of people. Anyway, what should be said had been said long ago, so there was no nonsense at all. Wang Xian waved his hand and let the generals go their separate ways.
He himself was surrounded by Wu Wei, Zhou Yong, Lingxiao and Xiaolian who were disguised as men, Xinning Xinyuan who was disguised as a Jin Yiwei and others. When he got off the city, Wang Xian saw an army rumbling.
Driving over, I took a closer look and saw that there were five thousand fully armed Shenji Battalion soldiers, all with muskets in hand and bows and crossbows cocked. The leader, an old general riding a yellow steed and wearing red armor, was none other than Anyuan Hou Liu Sheng!
"Master Hou!" Upon seeing Liu Sheng, Wang Xian beamed with joy and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
Liu Sheng had a very good impression of Wang Xian. He sat on the horse, twitching his beard and laughed loudly: "Boy Wang, are you relieved now? Your Majesty is not as careless as you think. In fact, he has already made arrangements! I just don't want to ruin the holiday.
Because, it’s just loose on the outside and tight on the inside!”
"Why, besides the Shenji Camp, does the Emperor have other arrangements?" Wang Xian asked.
"Of course, Duke Cheng and Eunuch Zhao are in the palace, patrolling everywhere with the whole team!" Liu Sheng said with a smile: "Don't worry, if the gangsters don't cause trouble tonight, that's all. If they do, they will be killed."
No burial place!”
"Haha, okay..." Wang Xian smiled, but his smile was a bit forced.
"Why, are you still worried?" Liu Sheng glared at him and scolded with a smile: "I wonder if your boy is nervous and has something wrong? He has also seen strong winds and waves. What is this!"
"Hey, it's different." Wang Xian shook his head and sighed: "That's fighting. You have to use ten percent of your strength. This is security. If you have ten percent of strength, it's good to use one point..."
"It's done, I won't talk to you anymore." Seeing the troops walking away, Liu Sheng waved to Wang Xian and laughed loudly: "The village sent some game to me the day before yesterday, go back to my place to have a drink!"
Seeing Anyuanhou's back becoming increasingly blurry, Wang Xian was about to say something when he suddenly heard a bang, an earth-shattering noise! The guards quickly drew their swords to protect him. However, they saw Lingxiao pointing at the night sky and blooming.
The huge fireworks jumped happily: "It's started! It's started!"
The first grand gathering of the Yuan Dynasty after the Ming Dynasty moved its capital to Beijing, it really started at the moment when the curtain was hung on that day! The passion that had been brewing for many days burst out at this moment, bursting out with a scorching heat wave like volcanic lava! This heat wave was caused by
Dengshan is composed of fragrant mist, beauties, billions of lanterns, and millions of brocade tents! It is composed of cars like flowing water and horses like swimming dragons!
There are hundreds of fireworks blooming in the sky all the time, and the gorgeous and colorful fireworks completely cover the stars! On the ground are countless high floats, land boats, acrobats, and floats, surrounded by dazzling large floats in various shapes.
It swaggered through the market, attracting the crowds of people to stare at it!
The sound of firecrackers, strings and bamboos, gongs and drums, and shouts have all merged into one pot of porridge. Even if you are whispering to each other, you have to try your best to hear what the other person is saying. As long as the distance is slightly further, no one can hear anything!
Of course, in the Lantern Festival, the leading role is naturally the lanterns! All kinds of lanterns are so bright that it is dizzying, just like the Milky Way in the sky falling on the chessboard streets of the capital, with thousands of lanterns twinkling.
It's so beautiful and beautiful! The people in the capital, immersed in the ocean of joy, are bringing their families, calling friends, or holding hands as lovers. They wear garlands on their heads and hold rich and attractive gifts in their hands.
Snacks, enjoy wandering in this galaxy of lanterns, admiring and commenting on the exquisite lanterns that have been made with great effort and cost!
The lanterns that are made entirely of white jade and look like palace lanterns from the Heavenly Palace are Fuzhou lanterns!
The person who uses silk bags to store millet as a embryo, winds it around, and removes the millet to make it look like a glass ball is Xin'an Deng!
The expensive lantern made of five-color colored glaze, with a diameter of three or four feet, is a Su lantern!
It uses five-color beads as the outline, hanging tassels, and the lanterns are painted with dragon boats, phoenix chariots, and stories on the terraces. What attracts the most attention to young men and women is the bead lantern!
The exquisite carving, five-color makeup and shadow play style are the most popular sheepskin lamps for children!
The weak bones are bound with thousands of silk threads, and are decorated with light balls and colorful brocades. The pieces are red and white, and have hundreds of flowers and thousands of eyes. At first glance, it looks like colorful clouds covering the moon and pearls surrounding the stars. It is a ten thousand-eyed lantern!
There is also the kind of horse-riding lantern that rides on wheels and spins like flying, with war scenes painted on the lampshade. Everyone loves to see it, and there are a lot of spectators!
But the most noticeable thing is the huge lantern mountains that are several feet high, or even more than ten feet high on the imperial street! Those are the capital-moving gifts that provinces and places spent countless people's money on to the emperor! That's why King Zhao wanted to do those things.
Deng Xing came forward to suppress the "ignorant" Wang Xian... He could not only please the emperor, but also show favor to local officials. The favor was free of charge, so why not do it?
Those lantern mountains are really like hills, two to three hundred paces wide, built with hundreds of wooden beams as a skeleton, and then decorated with various lanterns, colored silks, colored glazes, and flowers. When the lantern mountains are illuminated by thousands of palace lanterns,
Light up, all kinds of fireworks and gunpowder are ignited, the entire Dengshan Mountain is filled with fragrance and mist, and the lights are brilliant, just like fairy mountains!
