How could what happened to Duke Cheng escape from Jin Yiwei's eyes?
Even so, it would be better for Lu Yunqi to say it than for them to say it.
The minister sighed with relief and stepped back. From the corner of his eye, he saw Huang Cheng standing next to him.
Like the emperor, his face was gloomy at this time.
But this is wrong, Huang Cheng was still laughing just now.
Huang Cheng never concealed his rift with Cheng Guogong, let alone his joy when he saw Cheng Guogong encountering difficulties.
So he just kept laughing.
It is more appropriate to laugh now. The emperor found out about Duke Cheng, which was very shameful and irritating. He would definitely turn his anger on Duke Cheng. Even if his merits were not praised, he would be questioned.
This is what Huang Cheng wants to see more. Should he laugh? Is it to show that he shares the joys and sorrows of the emperor?
The cheers and noises from the people were still coming. The emperor was sitting on the dragon throne with a serious expression. He did not ask Duke Cheng again and seemed to be in low spirits.
The ministers naturally stopped mentioning it and stood solemnly with their hands down.
Lu Yunqi had already left the imperial city, and Jiang Qianhu, who was waiting, stepped forward with a solemn expression and unable to conceal his uneasiness.
"Because there have been so many people going to the capital recently, you guys have been negligent..." he said in a low voice.
"Nearly ten thousand." Lu Yunqi said.
Jiang Qianhu's face turned red and white and he lowered his head.
There were nearly ten thousand people, living people, who could walk, run, and talk, and needed to eat, drink, and sleep. They were not just three people, nor were they dead things that could be hidden.
It's ridiculous that so many people weren't discovered until this moment
They are known as the omniscient guards. They can find out what a beggar said in the capital. Thousands of refugees from the north came to the capital silently without even noticing.
There is really no reason to shirk this matter.
"I am willing to die to apologize." Jiang Baihu knelt down and said.
Lu Yunqi moved forward past him.
"It's none of your business," he said, "It's not you who sent the person here."
Lu Yunqi is known as the King of Hell, and he can indeed decide life and death in certain people and events.
No one wants to die. Hearing this, Jiang Baihu was ecstatic that he had escaped death, but he was also uneasy. Of course he knew how important this matter was to the emperor.
"Sir." He quickly stood up and followed, "But Your Majesty..."
"Your Majesty didn't ask us to do this." Lu Yunqi said, walking through the ranks of officials.
Is this okay? It seems to be true. Your Majesty only asked them to watch the actions of all parties, and these parties did not include the refugees in the North.
Jiang Qianhu followed Lu Yunqi's footsteps.
"These people are mixed in with the traders and come here by water and land, because there are so many people coming to Beijing recently, whether they are merchants or visiting the Duke, and refugees are more common..." he still explained.
, "It's really negligent."
This is unimaginable at all. There are nearly ten thousand people. Even if Jinyiwei really doesn't care, if they don't deliberately mix and march separately, they will definitely attract attention. Not to mention the elaborate arrangements to conceal their whereabouts, just for the purpose of these ten thousand people
The cost is sky-high.
This is a method that no normal person can think of...
"Only she can do this." Lu Yunqi said and smiled.
She was the only one who could make Lu Yunqi smile.
"But Miss Jun's whereabouts were not found." Jiang Qianhu said, "There is no news about the gopher either. It is probably more serious than bad."
"Although the gopher is powerful, it is still not close to the prince." Lu Yunqi said.
"The last news is that they were traveling together. Even if they got rid of our people, there is no way that the plan of nearly 10,000 refugees would not be exposed at all." Jiang Qianhu said, otherwise it would be impossible not to find out about the refugees. The investigation has already been carried out.
I didn't see Miss Jun after I passed.
Lu Yunqi stood still. At this time, they had already reached the Royal Street, with guards in uniforms standing solemnly on both sides.
"She must be here," he said.
……..
………
The huge crowd came in front of everyone, and the initial silence caused by shock was gone. Even if the people and scribes here remained quiet, how much noise could be caused by tens of thousands of people gathering without saying a word to each person?
Every breath makes this world hot.
The officers and soldiers on duty who had recovered from the shock hurriedly came forward to ask.
"We are here to see Duke Cheng!"
The sound was loud, and those who heard the inquiry in front answered loudly. Those in the back who did not hear the inquiry, but heard the answer from the person in front, also rushed to answer immediately.
The voices of thousands of people were rolling like thunder, causing the people here to become inexplicably frightened.
However, some people who were frightened also noticed that besides Cheng Guogong, there were also some words that they had never heard before in this thunderous shout.
"We are here to see the Qingshan Army."
Qingshan Army?
Although it is a bit unfamiliar, some people still remember that it was the army that aided Duke Cheng Guo in Yizhou.
It's just that everyone thinks that they are all Duke Cheng's men and troops, and they are all the glory of Duke Cheng, so there is no need to specifically point them out.
Come and see, so many people are coming to see, are you going to kill them?
It's a bit weird to see so many people, and they all appear at the same time.
But if you look closely, there seems to be no difference from the people who were watching before. They brought their families to support the old and the young, excited, excited and curious.
Perhaps this is also an arrangement by someone with intentions, just like some people in the crowd at this time.
Only a big shot can mobilize so many people to support and make noise.
An inconspicuous man standing in the crowd squinted his eyes, his expression changed for a moment, and nodded to a few of the scholars with some understanding.
The scribes and scholars came back to their senses, stopped looking at these new people, and looked at the military formation in front of them again and took a step forward.
"Mr. Cheng Guo dismounts."
"Gong Cheng Guo takes off his armor."
They shouted sharply, pointing their hands at the soldiers in front of them again.
The soldiers were also in panic again, and the horses neighed uneasily.
The people watching were also attentive again and a little nervous, because many people came and were afraid that their seats would be snatched away, so they also surged one after another.
The officers and soldiers on duty became even more nervous, yelling and trying their best to stop the people from coming forward with sticks and swords.
But they also know that being in front of these thousands of people is futile. If these people swarm up, they will be vulnerable.
Fortunately, these newcomers were very honest. When they heard the scolding that they were not allowed to come forward, they did not come forward. Instead, they looked towards the venue with excitement.
"Is Duke Cheng Guo coming out?"
Hearing the shouts of the scholars, many of them asked.
“The people in Beijing are so welcoming.”
Then there were chaotic shouts.
"Dong Chengguo!"
"Dong Chengguo!"
Even if not everyone is shouting, just a little movement among tens of thousands of people is enough to be scary.
Chen Qi, who was sitting on the roof of the car, turned pale. He couldn't help but hold on to the car board tightly and looked at the people around him.
Now his carriage has been surrounded by the crowd, like a boat in the ocean.
"Good fellow, Duke Cheng has come out, and one person can drown him with just a spit of spit." Chen Qi murmured.
"Not necessarily." Shopkeeper Liu, who was still standing, suddenly said. He also looked at the people around him, "They have a Northern accent."
What's wrong with the Beidi accent? Chen Qi was stunned for a moment, and then a thought popped up, like a fire being lit, and he jumped up.
No way...
Looking at the densely packed crowd and listening to the even more deafening shouts of Duke Cheng, the faces of the people in the military formation became even more ugly.
"What have we done, why are people so angry?" Li Guorui, who came to Beijing for the first time, has long since lost his high spirits, his face is pale and his eyes are confused, "How come we are guilty of killing the enemy bravely but without merit?"
As he spoke, he turned to look beside him. What surprised him was that Xia Yong and Yang Jing looked calm. They were not afraid, uneasy, or angry, but their expressions were more dull than usual.
"What's there to be angry about?" Yang Jing said lightly, "It's not the first time we've met."
What do you mean it's not the first time they meet? Have they been treated like this before? Li Guorui was confused.
Xia Yong and Yang Jing did not speak anymore, but remained motionless, with deep sadness still flashing in their eyes.
So this time it will be the same result.
The generals in the military formation could not hide their horror. The current scene was beyond their imagination. They had actually incited and organized so many people. Looking at Duke Cheng Guo who was about to go out again, they stopped him again.
"My lord, I cannot go," they said. "If I go out, I will have to admit my guilt."
These are the people who have been incited. They cannot be beaten or scolded, nor can they explain clearly. When the time comes, they will not be able to advance or retreat, and they will have to be at the mercy of these people.
"It's okay, let's talk about it." Cheng Guogong said with a calm and gentle expression.
At this time, listening to the louder echoes from all around, the literati students looked even more determined, with no hesitation as if they were sure of victory.
"Chengguo admits his guilt!"
"The rebels get out of the capital!"
After shouting these two sentences, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
This kind of silence does not mean that no one is echoing, but compared to the number of people gathered around now. The echoing people are still the same people from before, while the new people are looking at the scene with strange expressions.
"Is Cheng Guogong guilty?"
"What is Duke Cheng Guo's biggest crime?"
"Did you make a mistake?"
These voices immediately rose up, drowning out the shouts of the scholars and the people before.
This is a troublesome thing when new people come, and they have to explain it again, the literati students in the field thought to themselves.
Although they were impatient, they were happy to declare Duke Cheng's sins again, so someone recounted the previously listed sins again.
Their heavy and passionate voices fell, and the crowd around them became excited and noisy again, but the new arrivals remained silent, seemingly frightened.
There seemed to be two worlds formed on the road, one was noisy and the other was quiet, which looked very strange.
Scholars are not dissatisfied with these silences. The people are stupid, so let them be wise.
"Mr. Cheng Guo, dismount your horse, take off your armor, bear the thorn bush and plead guilty." they shouted, waving the banners of the soldiers of the country's subjugation in their hands.
Before he finished speaking, a loud shout suddenly sounded.
"I'll fuck your grandma."
Accompanied by this loud shout, something hit him and hit a student who was waving a banner on the head.
The student was caught off guard and was hit, staggering a few steps and feeling dizzy. Before he could recover, a roaring and tsunami of curses erupted from all around.
"I'll fuck your grandma."
The sound was like thunder and people were like the tide, overwhelming and surging.
The people in Beijing who wanted to squeeze in the best seats fell and staggered as if they were pushed by a mountain.
The officers and soldiers on duty who wanted to maintain order dropped their clubs, waist knives, and retreated blankly.
Thousands of people immediately surrounded these people.
Chen Qi's scalp felt numb when he saw it.
"I'm going to fuck your grandma." He murmured, clenching his fists and shaking them fiercely.
