Chapter 1661 Rebellion?(1/2)
The rice prices in Liuzhou City are rising steadily, but the people in the city dare not speak out. Even if they are unwilling to accept the slaughter, they can only accept the slaughter obediently.
At the beginning, several brave people stood up to denounce the rice price. They were arrested and jailed on the same day. One of them became the main culprit of the headless case last year.
It's noon and it's another sunny and beautiful weather.
Han Mansion, the most extensive mansion in Liuzhou City, has as many as twenty acres of back garden alone.
Hanhui is a local official in Liuzhou. He wanted to do something easier than those officials. When those people jumped out to cause trouble, he quickly turned over one of them through his own power.
Come out.
Sure enough, after convicting that person, no one in Liuzhou City dared to talk about the price of rice anymore, but obediently paid for the money to buy grain from him.
"Husband, there are eight sisters in the family now. Why do you still run to the vixen Liu Chunlou?" A beautiful woman handed a knife to Hanhui, but she said with resentment.
"Haha...that's because your husband is capable. Don't say eight, even eight hundred can afford it!" Han Hui took the sword and responded proudly.
As the rice price in Liuzhou City reached 100 cents per kilogram, he made a fortune. Within a month, he would definitely be able to clean up most of the people in Liuzhou City.
The beautiful woman watched Han Hui leave with a swagger, but sighed sadly.
Hanhui now has the identity of Liuzhou Wei Tongzhi, and he needs to report to the Liuzhou Wei Yamen every day, but there is nothing important recently, and he is still a waste of time to go there.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the Liuzhou Yamen, a soldier hurried over to report: "No, Lin Xunzhang led a large group of refugees to ask the door to open at Jingnan Gate. It seemed that he was going to rebel!"
"Rebellion? Is she crazy?" Han Hui didn't expect Lin Pingchang to return, and he didn't expect that she incited the refugees to rebel, so he made a decision and said, "Let's go over and take a look!"
"Open the city gate!"
"Open the city gate!"
"We're going into the city!"
...
At this moment, a tsunami-like sound came from outside the Jingnan Gate of Liuzhou City, which caused an earthquake in the entire Liuzhou City, and the sound waves formed soared into the sky.
This was quite disturbing. The people in Chengnan Street paused and looked around. Many people who liked to join in the fun heard the words there, and ran towards Jingnan Gate.
Gao Yan, the governor of Liuzhou, Qian Huilong, the governor of Liuzhou, and Wei Gangjin, the governor of Maping, were discussing the case of the shopkeeper Chen of the joint restaurant. After learning about the movement of Jingnan Gate, they also headed towards Jingnan Gate.
"The last general will pay homage to the Lord of the Mansion. All the Lords, Lin Xun entered the city as required by the city gate!"
Today, the general who was responsible for guarding Jingnan Gate was the deputy Qianhu Long Boying of Liuzhou. He stepped forward to salute the several adults who came in the official sedan chair.
The Ming Dynasty's use of civil warfare was never empty talk. His deputy Qianhu's commander was at most wearing small shoes, and offending Gao Yan would probably be unsecured.
Qian Huilong felt a little resentment in his heart, and wanted to accuse Long Bo and said, "Didn't we say that we have already ordered: Now the whole city is searching for the official seal of Lord Mansion, can't anyone open the city gate? How can you allow it?
Are they calling out outside the city?”
Since ancient times, people have not fought with officials. No matter how many refugees there are, as long as he shoots arrows and warns, there will be no such big noise, and they don’t need to come over to "put out the fire."
"Reply to Lord Tongzhi's words, I will not open the city gate without making any decisions. They were not calling out outside the city, but public opinion!" Long Bo responded with a look of humility and arrogance.
At the beginning, he might have believed that the Gaozhifu sealed the city gate to lose the official seal, but seeing his subordinates being forced to eat the sky-high rice from the four big rice shops during this period, how could he not know the trick?
He did not regard the sound like a tsunami outside the city gate as a provocation, nor did he find it harsh. He even hoped that he could reach the heavenly hearing and let the court punish these beasts in dress.
Qian Huilong seemed to have been stepped on his tail, and looked furious and asked Long Bo: "Are you a pig's head? Those untouchables represent public opinion?"
"Qian Tongzhi, let's go up the city tower together and see which one Lin Xunzhang wants to sing!" Gao Yan, wearing a patched official uniform, seemed quite cunning and said lightly to Qian Huilong.
"Boy, let's take a look!" Qian Huilong glared at the deputy Qianhu who had a "cornered butt", then responded to Gao Yan, and followed Gao Yan to the city stairs.
Han Hui and others also rushed over at this time, exchanged glances with Qian Huilong, and followed Gao Yan to the city tower together.
In this era, there are two different worlds inside and outside the city.
Thousands of ragged refugees stood in the vast open space under the city. Under the command of a flag, they seemed to be quite neatly shouting to the city heading and demanding to open the city gate.
Gao Yan and others were also quite complicated when they saw a shocking scene under the city.
If these refugees make the ruling, Lin usually must be a white-faced person, while their group of people are a black-faced person. In this secret fight, they have already stood opposite the public.
Lin Pingchang, wearing a kirin suit, led his men to ride on the big red horse. When he saw Gao Yan and other officials appearing on the city tower, he gently patted his horse forward, squinted his face and looked up at Gao Yan on the top of the city.
"Prince Lin, the whereabouts of our government's official seal are still unknown and are still being pursued. Therefore, it is very important. Please be careful not to be impatient. When our government retrieves the official seal, we will definitely go out of the city to respectfully inspect.
Sir!" Gao Yan came to the front of the city and expressed his authenticity to Lin Pingchang.
After so many years in the officialdom, he naturally has this shame, so even though both sides knew that this was an excuse, he said it without blushing or breathing.
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yan seemed sarcastic and said: "I think you are not losing the official seal, but your conscience is lost!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the officials and generals on the city were stunned and looked at Gao Yan carefully. The other party was no longer playing tricks with him.
Gao Yan's face turned cold and he immediately accused him: "Prime Minister Lin, I hope you can restrain your subordinates, so that people will not ruin your reputation, and even make people mistakenly think that Mr. Lin is not strict in managing his family!
”
"My subordinates are a little straightforward, but she knows what right and wrong! Gao Zhifu, are you really not afraid of retribution when you collude with prodigal businessmen to exploit the people?" Lin Pingchang protected Shen Yan, but questioned Gao Yan.
road.
Gao Yan couldn't help but feel a little angry, but he pointed to Lin Pingchang and threatened: "Prince Lin, although you are the Nanyang Inspector granted by the Emperor, you have the right to impeach you in such a way.
?”
"Master Gao, my neck is a little tired. You can open the city gate first!" Lin Pingchang reached out and touched his neck, but responded deafly to him.
Huh?
Qian Huilong and others were stunned when they heard this. Although the position of this Lin Xunguan is not low and has a high-ranking and powerful brother, she has no right to order the city gate to be opened.
Gao Yan sneered in his heart, but reiterated: "I have already said it! The official seal of this mansion is lost and is now searching for the whole city. No one is allowed to open the city gate!"
"Master Gao, are you going to disobey the Holy Will?" Lin Pingchang looked up at Gao Yan on the top of the city, but asked seriously.
As soon as this statement was made, Qian Huilong and others looked at each other, but they didn't know which one Lin Xun was singing. With the position of Wu Guifang, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, was replaced by Tan Lun, no one in the entire Guangxi area could make Gao Gao
Yan opened the city gate.
Lin Pingchang squinted his eyes and looked at the city tower, and then said seriously: "I have been entrusted by the imperial envoy to provide disaster relief for this time. Now this envoy ordered you to open the city gate immediately and welcome the envoy to the city to provide disaster relief.
Otherwise, don’t blame me for punishing you for being ill-fated!"
But she didn't know whether it was his brother who tried his best or the court knew how to use his power, but she had just been appointed by the court as the deputy envoy of the imperial envoy for this disaster relief. It was precisely because of this that her identity had been raised and she became the superior deputy envoy of the imperial envoy.
make.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked, and Gao Yan's eyes glared hard.
If this is true, then Lin Pingchang's identity is resolutely above him, and there is a good reason to order him to open the city gate to welcome her in.
Gao Yan's big chest buzzed, and he immediately reflected: "No! I... I have only one disaster relief envoy ever set up a deputy disaster relief envoy?"
When Qian Huilong and others heard this, they looked at Lin Pingchang under the city as if they had caught a life-saving straw.
But at this moment, a father-in-law with white hair behind him immediately stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "This imperial edict was brought by me. Do you suspect that I forged the imperial edict or want to disobey the imperial edict?"
"This...this is Eunuch Liu!"
Han Hui looked at the eunuch and had already recognized the other party's identity.
Lin usually didn't want to talk too much, but raised an imperial edict and said loudly: "Then you just follow the edict!"
"Open the city gate and welcome the deputy envoy!"
The eyes of the Liuzhou Prefecture General Qin Di immediately lit up. He did not seek the advice of the Lord Zun, but issued instructions directly to the general next to him.
At other times, Gao Yan was naturally the highest commander.
However, now Lin Pingchang has been appointed as the deputy envoy of disaster relief by the court, and his status is above Gao Yan, so it is naturally impossible to keep Lin Pingchang out of the door.
What's more, Lin Pingchang now shows the imperial edict in his hand. If they don't open the city gate, they will be disrespectful. This crime is much more serious than disrespectful to Shangguan.
The person in charge of guarding the city gate was Long Bo, the deputy deputy Qianhu of Liuzhou Guard, thought that when things had developed to this point, he would naturally not pay attention to Gao Yan's previous orders, so he turned around and took his men down to open the city gate.
"Master Master, will she forge the imperial edict and use money to bribe Eunuch Liu?" Hanhui swallowed and spitted, looking at Gao Yan with the last glimmer of hope and asked.
Qian Huilong immediately agreed, but he swallowed it back when he said that. Not to mention that Lin usually could not do such a thing, and Eunuch Liu could not commit such a family search and extermination because of some money.
This possibility is slim.
"Let's go down to check her imperial edict, and you'll know it once you test it!" Gao Yan responded bitterly.
Eunuch Liu volunteered to pass the imperial edict, and started the imperial edict and recited in a unique voice: "The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun, the imperial edict said: Guangxi suffered a drought that had not been encountered for decades, and many of the palaces had no harvest. I am deeply worried that I will be specially enthroned for the Nanyang patrol.
According to Lin Pingchang, he was the deputy envoy of the imperial envoy to supervise local government disaster relief matters, so I admire this!"
"Long live my emperor!" Gao Yan and others felt mixed feelings when they heard the content of the imperial edict, so they knelt respectfully and bowed respectfully.
"If you don't believe it, please check it!" After Eunuch Liu read out the content of the imperial edict, he made an initiative to hand the imperial edict to Gao Yan.
After hearing the content of the imperial edict and seeing the style of the imperial edict, Gao Yan knew that this imperial edict could not be forged, and this Lin Xunzhang was even more unlikely to do such stupid things that would bring about his own destruction.
Han Hui stepped forward without hesitation, but when he saw that the content of the imperial edict was indeed like this, he immediately looked like an eggplant beaten by frost. Whether he believed it or not, the person in front of him had already become the deputy disaster relief envoy.
Gao Yan sighed in his heart, took the initiative to step forward and kneeled down respectfully at Lin Pingchang, who was riding on the horse, and said, "Goodbye to the deputy envoy!"
"Major Gou, do you want this deputy envoy to help you find an official seal?" Lin Pingchang looked at Gao Yan kneeling on the ground, but asked with a stern face.
Gao Yan knew it was a sarcasm, but he ruled: "The subordinates dare not bother the deputy envoy!"
