Tang's dining table

Chapter 1277 A poisonous heart

The Queen is a qualified politician, so naturally she will not put her wealth and life on the relationship between husband and wife, mother and child. She knows very well how fragile this thing is, especially the relationship between the royal family. It's not as good as raising money.

One moment, the husband and wife are sharing life and death, and the next moment, they hang each other. This is the basic operation of the royal family. One moment, they are loving mothers and filial piety, and the next moment, many are fighting each other.

Therefore, the power held in the hand is the real power.

The queen's power is in Luoyang, Hebei, and Shandong.

Originally, the transfer of troops and people should be carried out secretly, which is in line with the Queen's consistent position. However, this time, the Queen openly gathered her men towards Jiucheng Palace.

The reason why Li Zhi chose to stay in Jiucheng Palace instead of Ziwei Palace in Luoyang was because in Luoyang, he could easily be suppressed by the queen. Even if he caused a murder in Luoyang, the result did not seem to have changed. His secretary still went to work for the queen. Dedicate yourself.

Just one or two. When his secretaries died for the queen one after another, it was so terrible that the emperor didn't know who else in the secretary's prison could be trusted.

If there was a choice, the emperor wouldn't even want to use Yun Jin, so the secretary should be his own. As the eldest son of the Yun family, Yun Jin was born to be loyal to no one.

Therefore, Yun Jin's beating was not unjust at all. It was a complete vent for the emperor's resentment and disappointment that had reached its peak over the years.

After Shangguan Yi's death in the streets, the Luoyang massacre, and the bombardment of Chang'an, the emperor had fewer and fewer people available. Therefore, more and more eunuchs named various springs around him appeared on the political stage of the Tang Dynasty.

The emperor is paying for his previous wanton behavior.

Some people are optimistic about the queen, some are optimistic about the prince, but few people are optimistic about him, the emperor who is declining and not emotionally stable at all.

When the prince stayed out of the matter, Yunchu stayed out of the matter, and the civil and military officials of the court stayed out of the matter to watch the fight between the emperor and the queen, there were really too few people available around Li Zhi.

Fortunately, Yun Chu and Xue Rengui could still give the emperor a minimum sense of security. Otherwise, God knows what a crazy emperor would do.

The weather in Jiuchenggong has been bad recently. It doesn’t rain and you can’t see the sun. There is even no wind. There are always clouds in the sky. The sun cooks the earth through the clouds, which turns Jiuchenggong Canyon into a huge canyon. steamer.

The world is as unchanged as death.

Chang'an is not like this. It has undergone a lot of changes recently. For example, the delinquent people who love their jobs have discovered that there are a lot of farmers entering Chang'an with weapons. In the past, they all got kicked and they didn't dare to fart. Now things have changed. , after being kicked by a bad person, he dared to hold the ax handle behind his waist and look like he was going to resist.

They not only have axes, but also sharp steel sickles. The more exaggerated guys will even carry a short-handled shovel on their backs. This thing is edged. The oval wide-edged shovel is thin and sharp, although it is not as sharp as a horizontal knife. Weapons of this type are inferior in comparison, but after being equipped with a long handle, they are very powerful whether it is cutting, chopping or chopping. Compared with a man holding a horizontal knife, a farmer holding this shovel has more power in terms of force. No less generous than above.

There are also some strong farmers who will bring pickaxes into the city, with a pointed end and a flat blade. As long as the farmer is willing to use strength after attaching the handle, the pointed end can cut through the armor. Even if it does not cut through, the heavy The striking power is not inferior to heavy weapons such as hammers and maces.

This look looks really stupid, even stupid, but in the extremely martial environment of Guanzhong, there is no problem.

When the children in Guanzhong were no longer as tall as a broom, they knew how to kill everyone with a broom. Now that we have steel farm tools, why not use them for self-defense?

Once the bad guy started asking, the answer was very reasonable - a farmer carrying farm tools, a scholar carrying a pen and ink, and a scholar carrying a sword are all normal things.

"This is not normal!"

When Lu Zhaolin talked about the incident of farmers bringing farm tools into the city, his voice became very sharp.

"The shovel in their hand is more like a beheading tool than a farm tool. The pickaxe is more like a heavy weapon such as an armor-piercing awl. One or two are enough. The farmers go to the city to sell what they have in the fields. Output, is it necessary to bring these things?”

Wu Chengsi chuckled and said, "That's it, you can take care of it."

Lu Zhaolin shook his head and said: "One million steel farm tools have been scattered around Chang'an. How can we stop them? Not to mention they have a huge number of bows and arrows. If such farmers gather together, it is not an exaggeration to call them an army."

Yang Jiong, who came in with the documents in his arms, heard what Lu Zhaolin said, and explained helplessly: "How many times have I told you, that's a hunting bow."

Lu Zhaolin sneered: "A hunting bow eliminated by the army?"

Yang Jiong put the document on Yun Chu's desk, opened the part that required Yun Chu's signature, and continued to say to Lu Zhaolin: "Yes, you, the Lu family, are also from a wealthy family. You did a lot of bad things in your early years. Now you see that the farmer has changed." When you are strong, it is human nature to be afraid.”

Lu Zhaolin looked at Yun Chu who was signing expressionlessly and said: "The king and the weak people are the way to govern."

??????????.??????

Yun Chu raised his head and said, "Fart!"

Lu Zhaolin sighed and said: "One million steel farm tools falling into the hands of the people is a source of trouble."

Yang Jiong said: "It's really strange that your servants of the Lu family are allowed to carry knives and guns, but the common people are not allowed to hold farm tools. Didn't you agree with this at the beginning?"

Lu Zhaolin smiled bitterly and said: "I thought that when farmers got farm tools, they would use them to dig the ground. Unexpectedly, they sharpened the shovels as if they were meant to chop off people's heads."

Yun Chu smiled and said: "Get two million more steel farm tools for the people of Guanzhong, and there will be no more bandits in Guanzhong from now on, Qiang Liang."

Lu Zhaolin said: "It's not just bandits who are afraid of the powerful people. Nowadays, officials who go to the countryside are also afraid."

Yun Chu handed the signed document to Yang Jiong and said: "The new township rules and regulations must be implemented in accordance with the specific items formulated by the county government. No changes are allowed. It is best not to change a word."

Yang Jiong agreed and went out with the documents.

Yunchu said to Wu Chengsi, who was sitting opposite him at work: "The matter has been settled. When will you return to your official residence?"

Wu Chengsi said without raising his head: "The county has good feng shui here."

Yun Chu smiled and said, "Okay, if you like it here, I'll move somewhere else."

Wu Chengsi looked up at Yun Chu and said, "Sansi is still on the Steel City construction site. Things haven't been finished yet. Are you planning to kill the donkey now?"

Yun Chu said: "I'm just impatient to see your bitter face."

Wu Chengsi said: "No matter who it is, who has just experienced the disaster of annihilating their family, there will be no smile on their face."

Yun Chu waved his hands impatiently and left the mansion.

Lu Zhaolin came out and said, "Your Majesty, your majesty and the queen are getting more and more tense now. What should we do?"

Yun Chu said coldly: "What do you want to do?"

Lu Zhaolin said with an embarrassed look, "Just asking casually."

Yun Chu said: "What your Majesty wants to do has nothing to do with us, what the Queen wants to do has nothing to do with us, and even what the Prince wants to do has nothing to do with us. Now, it is a rare window period for Chang'an to put his own It will be good if things are done well.”

After that, he walked away.

Lu Zhaolin looked at Yun Chu's back and said to himself: "Can't we take chestnuts from the fire?"

People who live a smooth life usually don't lack ambition, and Lu Zhaolin is such a person.

Compared with Lu Zhaolin, who likes to be brave and enterprising, gentleness is really gentle. In just a few years, his gentleness has turned into a puddle of mud.

The ancestors of the Wen family finally did not survive this bitter summer, nor did they send themselves to the shrine of a hundred-year-old auspicious man.

At ninety-seven years old, if he lives for another half year, he will be able to enter the ranks of centenarians according to his imaginary age. Once he reaches this rank, the emperor will send gifts to his family every year and greet him personally every year.

Wen Wen didn't seem to care at all about the death of his ancestor. He was slumped on an armchair, as if he had no bones.

"Since you are attending a funeral, don't stay in Pingkangfang without coming out." Yun Chu couldn't stand his rogue appearance and couldn't help but open his mouth to admonish him.

Wen Wen looked at Yun Chu lazily and said, "It's so fake, as if someone will impeach me if I go in and out of a brothel during my mourning period."

Yun Chu said: "Don't your brothers and sisters talk about you?"

She smiled softly and said, "Nowadays, they all look at my face. Who cares?"

Yun Chu laughed, threw himself into an armchair, sat down, leaned his head on the backrest and swayed with his feet, saying: "You are so comfortable in Luoyang -"

Wen Wen shook his head and said: "You won't be able to relax for much longer. The Queen's people are rapidly advancing towards Jiucheng Palace. I'm very worried that the male and female pair will completely fight each other."

Yun Chu said: "It's impossible, the queen just wants to drive the emperor crazy."

Wen Wenwen said with some confusion: "You mean those people were sent by the Queen to be killed by Your Majesty?"

Yun Chu said softly: "Ten days ago, the emperor beat Yun Jin severely in anger. He told the prince that it was to avenge the prince."

Wen Wen frowned and said, "Is the emperor beginning to doubt everyone?"

Yun Chu added: "A month and a half ago, the emperor inexplicably slashed the giant bear seven or eight times with the back of his sword because the giant bear knocked over his tea cup."

Wen Wen's brows furrowed even more tightly and she whispered, "Is the emperor's mood broken?"

Yun Chu continued: "Yun Jin said that the emperor was weak when he beat him, but his expression was very vicious."

Gentle sighed and said: "If you have more than enough heart but not enough strength, then you are finished. Once a man starts to feel this way, he is about to die."

Yun Chu gently hit the back of the chair with the back of his head and said: "The queen presented the "Chen Qing Biao" to the emperor, saying that as a woman of the Li family, she had no intention of coveting the artifact, and was just doing the best for a woman of the Li family. Duty, since the emperor begins to doubt her, she is ready to send all her subordinates to Jiucheng Palace and let the emperor do whatever he wants. "

Wen Wen gritted her teeth and said, "What a poisonous heart."
