Chapter 188?

The imperial envoy saw Zhang Xiaowu pretending to cry and felt helpless. He said to himself that the Mucheng guard was really rude and couldn't even act. The emperor is dead, so you have to pretend to be sad. What's the point of crying in mourning?

? As the saying goes, once the emperor is the king, the minister will soon be released to serve as an official. Now he needs to establish a good relationship with the local officials, so he turns a blind eye and pretends not to have seen it.

"Ah...ah...ah..." Zhang Xiaowu stood up and called the envoy after crying like a donkey.

The imperial envoy was also tired all the way, especially the unlucky one who was sent to the most dangerous wooden city. He planned to leave today after a night's rest and return to Longdu as soon as possible. However, the weather was not good, and it snowed heavily outside again.

So I had to say that I had no choice but to bother me for a few more days.

Zhang Xiaowu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are very polite. It is a deserted city on the border. It is particularly joyful to have the Royal Envoy here. The dinner has been arranged. Please do not despise our desolate place." The Imperial Envoy kept saying that he was polite, but he also

Without being too polite, Zhang Xiaowu, Guan Xiang, Ruan Qingwen, Hu Sanwan and others accompanied the imperial envoy to drink and have fun, and to inquire about the situation in Beijing.

Hu Sanwan searched for the best cooks in the city and found some of the most beautiful singers in the city. Unfortunately, there were not many beauties in Mucheng. The imperial envoy who was used to seeing the most beautiful singers in the world looked at Mucheng again.

The crooked melons and cracked jujubes suddenly made her lose her appetite, and she waved her hand to let the singer go out.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiaowu did a good job in keeping warm when building the wooden city, especially the geothermal system, which made the imperial envoy envious. He touched the warm ground and asked: "Is there a volcano underground?"

Zhang Xiaowu laughed loudly and winked, and Hu Sanwan immediately stuffed five hundred taels of silver over.

The imperial envoy pretended to give in, but he also wanted to make friends with local generals like Zhang Xiaowu, so he smiled and reluctantly accepted it. He was in a really good mood and said: "I thought Mucheng was in poverty, but I didn't expect that there is such a fairy mansion. In the cold day,

It’s also as warm as spring.”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Master Ji, if you like, you can come often."

Ji Yushi shook his head and said: "No blessing to endure, no blessing to endure."

Everyone laughed, and Zhang Xiaowu asked someone to bring the roasted whole lamb over. Ji Yushi was very surprised. Zhang Xiaowu handed the cutting knife and fork to Ji Yushi, and taught him how to cut the meat. Ji Yushi

Eating roasted whole lamb, drinking strong wine, and guarding the money

, I felt very happy and said with emotion: "If this method is used in Longdu, business will definitely be prosperous." After everyone had a few drinks, they started chatting. Yushi Ji also talked more and said: "General Zhang is stationed in Mucheng.

It is indeed very dangerous.”

"No, no, I'm used to the hard life, and I don't feel like it's hard anymore." Zhang Xiaowu said with a smile.

Ruan Qingwen said: "I wonder how long Yu Shi Ji has been in the imperial study?"

Ji Yushi said: "I ranked seventh on the imperial examination list in the 24th year of Taiqian. I have not achieved anything for a few years. I am really ashamed and dare not speak out. I am ashamed and dare not speak out."

Ruan Qingwen hurriedly bowed and said: "It turns out that he is Tanhua Lang. I am disrespectful. Tanhua Lang has lived in Longdu for a long time and has been the editor of the imperial study for many years. He is actually the late emperor's confidant and has received the emperor's favor. However, your majesty has always been in good health. Why is it so sudden now?

? Makes me so sad." (The number one scholar is the first on the list, the number two is the second and third on the list, the third is the fourth to tenth, and the eleventh to thirtieth is the Jinshi.)

"Alas..." Ji Yushi drank a glass of wine and looked at the civil and military officials at the frontier fortress. He couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart. How could they talk about what happened in the capital so casually?

"Come on, come on," Zhang Xiaowu raised his glass and said, "Mr. Ji has something to say and it's inconvenient to say more. Let's just drink to welcome him today."

Hu Sanwan hurriedly stuffed the silver into it, and Ji Yushang took it with his hand. It was very heavy, and he put it in his arms. He drank another glass of wine with everyone. It was silver, strong liquor, and everyone's praise and innuendo.

Fight, Ji Yushi finally

He relaxed and said: "Longdu is in chaos, chaos. Last month, thieves rioted in Longdu. Tens of thousands of civilians were killed and injured, and hundreds of officials were killed. If Du Shanbo hadn't rescued him in time, I'm afraid that Longdu City would have been destroyed by thieves."

It’s ruined.”

"Ah?" Everyone was surprised. This Longdu City is the capital of the Holy Han Empire. It has a population of one million, but tens of thousands of people were killed and injured. There was a rebellion. Who are these rebels? Who can leverage the empire?

the foundation of?

Ji Yushang took another sip. Although this wine was not a good one, in the cold and bitter land of Saibei, drinking this kind of strong Saibei liquor and eating such meat in large gulps made it more suitable for the occasion. Ji Yushang originally had a good drinker, but he underestimated it.

After drinking Saibei Liquor, I was actually a little dizzy now, so I said a little drunkenly: "The useless prince is useless.

After being defeated by the Crow Gold Granary, the late emperor vomited blood for three times after hearing the news. He deposed the crown prince overnight and appointed the fifth prince as the new crown prince. The remaining party members were dissatisfied with their plan to depose the crown prince and rushed into the palace to question the late emperor, which caused the late emperor to be frightened and died.

.Sigh...these remnants of the deposed prince are really brave, they were the ones who forced the late emperor to death."

This news is so shocking. According to Yushi Ji, is it possible that the princelings are plotting rebellion? But there is a logical inconsistency, because all the prince's power is in the north of the Great Wall, and Emperor Taigan is about to die. How could the princelings commit a crime at this time?

Make chaos.

Zhang Xiaowu and Ruan Qingwen looked at each other and both discovered the loopholes in this statement. Ruan Qingwen was very familiar with the princelings and understood the pros and cons. If there was no hidden agenda, the princelings would never rebel.

Ruan Qingwen was about to speak, but Zhang Xiaowu asked first, "I heard that the late emperor has been in poor health?"

"It's not very good. I haven't stopped vomiting blood since last year. Someone in the palace recorded it. Alas, I have seen many imperial doctors, but they are all useless." Ji Yushi shook his head and said, "That's why the late emperor asked the deposed prince to kill the enemy and perform meritorious service.

I'm so happy, but the prince is too much - ugh!"

Zhang Xiaowu asked again: "Du Shanbo led his army back to the capital to serve the king. Who gave the order?"

Ji Yushi's hands shook, his eyes turned red, and he said in a deep voice: "On that day, the remaining party of the deposed prince heard about the death of the late emperor, and they quickly mutinied and surrounded the palace. The confidants of the deposed prince were the silver-clad guards in Longdu City.

All

There were tens of thousands of government officials and generals in the Prince's Mansion. Fortunately, the Royal Guards insisted not to open the palace, and the Zilong Army also supported the fifth prince at that time, but the Imperial Army expressed neutrality. The princelings attacked the palace and the Prince's Mansion many times.

not yet

As a result, the two sides fought for several days before leading to chaos in Longdu. Some people took the opportunity to loot, burn and kill, and families with personal enemies formed a gang to attack. The chaos did not stop until Dushan Bo returned with his army to Longdu. Dushan Bozun, the late emperor, issued an imperial edict.

The prince is the supervisor of the country

Prince, and ascended the throne on the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. The funeral of the late emperor was already completed when I just left the capital, so you don’t need to take care of it anymore. However, this mourning cloth needs to be worn until the day before the new emperor ascends the throne, and don’t forget it.

"

Zhang Xiaowu smiled and said: "That's natural. If the new emperor had not ascended the throne, this mourning cloth would have to be worn for three months."

Ji Yushi burped, then sighed and said: "In the chaos in Longdu, rivers of blood flowed, corpses blocked the streets, households were closed, and some families even starved to death. It was truly a human tragedy. I was furious.

I have never seen such a tragic scene in more than ten years. Even the rebellion of King Ning twenty years ago did not affect the people, but this time...sigh..."
