There was a solemn atmosphere inside and outside the city.
Many people in the city looked confused.
The whole city is under martial law, and soldiers can be seen running everywhere. Such a formation has not been seen for many years. The last time was when the Turks came to the city in the ninth year of Wude.
Could it be that the Tubo people came over?
Many people began to pack up their belongings and prepare to run away!
For a time, people were panicked.
No one knows what happened!
…
In the imperial study room, the atmosphere was silent.
His Majesty Li Er is angry.
No one dared to speak.
Du He was bored, but he pulled Hou Junji and whispered: "Master Hou, you don't look good. Have you been angry recently?"
Hou Junji said speechlessly: "Don't you know whether I look good or not?"
"I do not know!"
"...Forget it, let's talk about it later. This is the royal study, and it is the important place of the royal family. How can we whisper in front of His Majesty? How can it be decent?" Hou Junji hurriedly turned his head.
"Master Hou, Master Hou, Lao Hou..."
Alas, it’s so lonely with no one to talk to!
At this moment, Li Er looked towards Du He and asked: "Du He, what are you talking about?"
ah?
Du He was stunned and quickly smiled: "Your Majesty, I am saying that I am afraid that the people from all over the country who are asking for life for the people will not come today!"
"Oh? Why?"
"My lord, go by your intuition!" Du He said with a smile.
Everyone: "..."
Everyone cursed in their hearts: "Du He, this bitch, is here again to confuse the public with his lies."
"Du Hexiu is talking nonsense!"
"This information comes from all over the country, how can it be false!"
"You are the cause of this matter. Your Majesty and I are just wiping your butt. It's fine if you are not grateful. It's really unreasonable for you to talk nonsense here!"
Many people scolded in low voices.
"hehe!"
Du He sneered, crossed his hands, and stopped talking.
Li Er stood up and said: "Okay, dear friends, this is a troubled time, so we must not mess with people's hearts."
Du He turned around and looked at Li Er: "Your Majesty, you summoned the ministers to the palace. Apart from this, is there anything else?"
"I'm looking for you just for this reason!"
Du He yawned and felt sleepy: "Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I will leave. I went to bed at midnight last night and was very tired. Early this morning, I was woken up from the bed by the manager Ximen. It's really
I am listless, please forgive me!"
Everyone's eyes widened.
Du He, this bitch, is dying?
No, this guy must have known that this matter was causing a big fuss and was involved, so he was planning to run away.
A censor suddenly grabbed Du He's sleeve: "Huyi County Lord, you can't leave!"
"Why?" Du He turned his head and glared at the other party.
"This trouble is about to happen. You are running away now, but you want to avoid responsibility. Don't forget that you are the cause of such a big trouble. If you hadn't promoted pork in Hu County, how could there be so many people who were against pork?
The person... Your Majesty, I want to impeach the Duke of Huyi County. As the magistrate of Huxian County, the Duke of Huyi County does not care about serving the people, but he flatters the public and wants the people to eat pork, causing people to be panicked and unable to live all day long. Tens of thousands of people
There is no telling what disaster will happen when we enter Chang'an. Now, these tens of thousands of people have not yet entered the city. I sincerely request your majesty to send Du He to justice, so as to inform the world and calm people's hearts!" The censor said loudly, raising his head and chest, very proud.
"I second the proposal!"
"Your Majesty, Mr. Yang is right. If Du He is punished as soon as possible and told to the world, people can be calmed down!"
Immediately, many people agreed.
It is unclear whether the seconders were trying to calm the people's minds or retaliate against Du He.
Du He was so happy that he turned around and looked at the censor: "My lord, may I ask your surname?"
"In a certain business, I don't change my name, I don't change my surname, my surname is Yang, I dare to take it, and my courtesy name is Yuanyuan. Mr. Huyi County, do you want to take revenge on me? I am an official in the imperial court, so I speak uprightly and fearlessly!" Yang Gandang patted his chest.
, saying that he is not afraid of Du He.
"Oh, it turns out to be Yushi Yang!" Du He exclaimed, "Mr. Yang keeps saying that he wants His Majesty to punish me. I don't know what the crime is?"
"Of course it was you who promoted pork, confusing people's hearts, and causing tens of thousands of people to come to Beijing to cause trouble. There will definitely be a big mess! All the troubles are caused by you. Don't you know your guilt?" Yang Gandang said loudly.
Du He smiled slightly: "Mr. Yang's eloquence is really good, but you said tens of thousands of people came to Beijing to cause trouble. Where are they?"
"It'll be there soon!"
"How long will it be soon?"
"How do I know how long it will take? It will be soon anyway!"
"How long is it soon?"
Being pressed by Du He one after another, Yang Gandang became angry and said: "Why do you have so many questions? This matter needs to be asked to His Majesty!"
"Why, Mr. Yang, are you afraid? You don't want to talk to me?"
"no!"
"Then why don't you dare to look me in the eyes?"
"I……"
"Look, your hands are trembling, your eyes are evading, and the corners of your mouth are twitching... Mr. Yang, you are very panicked inside, right?"
Du He approached step by step, and Yang Gandang stepped back step by step. A layer of fine beads of sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead, and his back was covered with cold sweat.
"ah……"
Yang Gandang was almost driven crazy and roared. Then he turned around and lay on the ground: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Huyi County has gone too far to bully others. Please make the decision for me!"
Li Er just wanted to scold Du He, but saw Li Junxian hurriedly coming from outside.
Everyone hurriedly asked questions.
"General Li, how is the situation?"
"Where are those people? Have they entered the city?"
Li Er also asked: "Langji, where are the people gathering? How many people are there?"
Li Junxian looked at Li Er and said, "Your Majesty, there is no one!"
no one?
Everyone was stunned.
Many people even suspect that there is something wrong with their ears.
How could there be no one?
Li Er was confused: "Have you not arrived in Chang'an yet?"
Li Junxian shook his head: "Your Majesty, no one will come to Chang'an. Secret reports have just been sent from various places and no one is against pork."
ah?
Everyone was even more puzzled by Monk Zhang Er.
Didn’t it mean that tens of thousands of people are against pork?
Why is there no more?
"General Li, is the information wrong?"
"Yes, we still need to verify it!"
Everyone said it one after another.
Li Junxian shook his head, took out a secret report and handed it to Li Er.
Li Er glanced at it and was stunned.
He waved his hand.
Zhao Yang hurriedly stepped forward to receive the secret report and read it in front of everyone: "On the 29th, the great scholar Zhou Bin of Lantian County led thousands of people to oppose pork. When the momentum was huge, countless people suddenly came out and beat Zhou Bin to death.
Half dead... On the same day, the Liyang nobles Huang Zuzhou led the Liyang nobles to prepare to oppose pork. When the news leaked out, local people rushed into Huang Zuzhou's house angrily and beat Huang Zuzhou to death. When the Yueyang County magistrate arrived with people, the people dispersed and the murderer could not
The arrest has become an unresolved case... Yunyang..."
Quiet.
There was silence in the entire imperial study, and everyone was stunned and speechless.
