As soon as he heard that a group of common people were attacking civil servants and scholars outside the palace, Huang Laosi ran out in a hurry.
The emperor was so anxious that his legs flew up and down very fast, fearing that he would be late and not see the excitement.
When the emperor came out with Sun An and a group of guards, he was greatly disappointed.
Those civil servants who were clinging to the wall and being protected by the guards were fine. They had good arms and legs.
As soon as they saw the emperor walking out under heavy guard, the people who were already kneeling on the ground began to cry and howl, not knowing what they were feeling, but it was really howling anyway.
This situation would never have happened six months ago.
Making trouble at the gate of the palace, crying and howling immediately when seeing the emperor, is an impossible thing, unless you are dying, let alone meeting the emperor, even if you meet officials, the people will have to walk around.
But the method Chu Qing gave to Jiang Yuesheng finally worked, regarding the report box.
Both Qianqiying and Jingzhao Mansion have this so-called reporting box, which is dedicated to reporting and exposing officials and families who have committed illegal acts.
The people went from distrust, to habit, and finally to adaptation and positive response. This process allowed the people to see hope unknowingly and at the same time, they became bolder.
In addition, most of these people are actors. The refugees in Zhuangzi in the southern suburbs and the farmers in Tao's Zhuangzi are all veteran actors. Under the leadership of Tao Ruolin, they did not hesitate at all to make trouble at the gate of the palace.
In addition, Huang Laosi is also responsible for the fact that the people in Beijing are becoming more and more cunning.
As the emperor, Huang Laosi liked to see this kind of thing. He even advocated and supported this kind of thing. When the reporting box first came out, he deliberately brushed up his presence several times and asked Jingzhao Mansion to post a notice saying how he was.
What a wise warrior, he is the embodiment of justice, and he will definitely uphold justice for the people. If you are really grievances, let alone cry outside Jingzhao Mansion and Qianqi Camp, you can even cry at the entrance of the palace. The Emperor will not blame you.
That's what I said, but no one came outside the palace to make trouble. This was the first time.
Sun An shouted at the top of his voice several times, and then the people became quiet, lowered their heads and choked with sobs.
"I am here, and the ministers are here."
The fourth child cleared his throat and read the opening words: "As long as I am here, no one can bully you, or my people, no matter how wronged they are, I will do it for you..."
Before he could say the word "lord", the fourth child suddenly saw Tao Ruolin in the last row.
Tao Ruolin wore a veil, but her big eyes were extremely bright and blinking. The fourth child recognized her at a glance.
When he saw Tao Ruolin and Xu Shiqing in the pile of broken shoes, the fourth child immediately guessed what was going on.
Huang Laosi's eyes shone brightly, and he suddenly realized something.
Although Chu Qing is not in the capital, his daughter-in-law Tao Ruolin is. Both of them are damaged masters. Tao Ruolin is not necessarily any worse than Chu Qing in cleaning up the family.
Huang Laosi looked at Tao Ruolin again, blinked twice quickly, and then Tao Ruolin rolled her eyes.
Huang Laosi nodded secretly.
It's so damn good that they look like husband and wife. Every time Chu Qing and I have the same mind-set, we roll our eyes like this. Well, there is a tacit understanding.
"Someone tell me what happened."
Wu Gang raised his head and raised his hand tremblingly, as if he was ready to die suddenly at any moment.
You must know that last year when he was cleaning up the aftermath of Fu San, when he and Bihua were destroying the corpses and moving the corpses of Zhang Songling and others, the old man could carry two corpses at a time and walk dozens of steps without even breathing, but now he can
He looked like he was dying.
"Your Majesty...Your Majesty, our people...our people are wise, mighty, benevolent and virtuous. Your Majesty, the little people...the little people can see you."
Huang Laosi's chest puffed up, and he almost blurted out, "Yes, I am the emperor who is wise, powerful, benevolent and virtuous!"
"Your Majesty, you have to uphold justice for us. The children and grandchildren in your family may not know how to be loyal to the emperor, love the country, and do not understand the truth. However, you know that the emperor today is a wise emperor, a benevolent emperor, and the saintly and virtuous emperor that the people have long awaited.
With such a monarch, we will do whatever the court says. If the court says to join the army, our children and grandchildren will join the army, but... but... wu wu wu... oh, there is no way to survive."
Huang Laosi hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should call the Supreme Emperor and let the old man hear with his own ears what the unscrupulous people in the capital had to say about me.
Wu Gang not only spoke intermittently, but also pretended to cough.
"We are all human beings. Why, why do we have no complaints if our children and grandchildren join the army? But these adults, their children and grandchildren cannot join the army. This is why."
Qiu Wanshan, who quickly changed his clothes, stood up, wearing an official robe, and said sternly: "That's nonsense. The state capitals in Dachang adopt a recruiting system. If it is needed for war, the state capitals will be divided into different states. Whether the garrison and guards are full, the troops at home will be drafted."
If you are not an only son, you have to go to various states to recruit auxiliary soldiers..."
Before he could finish his words, Wu Gang shouted: "Why are you talking nonsense, old man? The Xu family in Xunyang, Xu Shiqing, who is famous in the world, the old man has heard about it. He always comes to make trouble, and the trouble is endless. Why should he
If my grandson joins the army, there will be trouble. We, the sons of the common people, even if they are only sons, will join the army."
Qiu Wanshan was very angry.
If you don't say that he doesn't like to act with non-professionals, and you forcefully steal the scene before he has finished speaking, the effect will be greatly reduced.
Huang Laosi is also extremely disgusted. Where did Tao Ruolin find it? This is too amateurish. You read out Xu Shiqing's name directly without even foreplay. Anyone with eyes can see that you are premeditated and targeted.
of.
"nonsense!"
Xu Shiqing blew his beard angrily and glared: "My grandson was kidnapped, and you old man, why do you know my name, and why do you know that I came from Xunyang Road? Who looked directly at me?"
you."
The fourth child couldn't help but sigh, feeling that Tao Ruolin's skills might be rusty.
Wu Gang stood up suddenly, pointed at Xu Shiqing and shouted: "Are you staying at Li Ji Inn in Nanan City?"
"So what?"
"Did you drink chicken soup yesterday?"
Xu Shiqing's expression changed slightly: "Are you secretly following me?"
"Yes or no."
"So what."
"When you went back last night, did you give the waiter a reward of fifteen cents?"
Xu Shiqing sneered again and again, confirming that the other party was secretly following him: "Yes!"
"Did you have breakfast with your friends early this morning?"
"yes."
"Would you like to take a shower in the morning?"
"yes."
"Did you tell others a few days ago that you came to Beijing just to rescue your grandson from the military camp?"
"yes."
"You said you are not an ordinary citizen. Why do your grandchildren join the army? Only sons of common people join the army."
"yes."
After saying this word, Xu Shiqing was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed drastically: "No, that's nonsense. When did I say this?"
"You still dare to quibble."
"Your Majesty." Xu Shiqing quickly looked at Huang Laosi: "Vicious, how vicious, secretly following me, Your Majesty, this old man is probably a detective from Qianqi Camp."
"You fart, the waiter in your inn is a descendant of the old man Tongzhuang. He heard it with his own ears. You said that the sons of common people should join the army. That is what they deserve. Why should the children and grandchildren of your family join the army? They are not ordinary people."
Xu Shiqing screamed angrily. He admitted what he said before, what he ate, what he drank, and who he met, but the rest of the words were really not his.
Huang Laosi suddenly realized.
Tao Ruolin's skills are indeed familiar, wonderful!
Wu Gang called again: "Is it possible that you haven't taken over Li Ji in Nanshi?"
"Stay."
"Is it possible that you didn't drink chicken soup?"
"Drink."
"Is it possible that you didn't give Xiao Erbai as a reward?"
"Give it!"
"Is it possible that you didn't say that only sons of the common people join the army, and sons of aristocratic families do not join the army?"
Xu Shiqing didn't even think about it: "I said it!"
Wu Gang knelt down on the ground and cried again: "Your Majesty, let the common people make the decision. Why should the children of common people join the army and die in the battlefield? The children of high-ranking officials and nobles should not join the army. It's unfair.
,It’s not fair.”
Huang Laosi nodded slightly.
Hey, I didn’t realize it, but this old man is quite professional.
Before the fourth child could speak, a group of common people called out and said it was unfair.
The ministers looked at each other in shock. The people actually demanded fairness. Where did they have the courage?
Tao Ruolin among the crowd smiled.
She had a premonition that Chu Qing would be back soon, otherwise she wouldn't have written the military report.
Now that she is coming back, she has to clear up some troubles for Chu Qing. As for the new recruits of the Wolf Catcher Army, she has to help Chu Qing handle it so that no one can use the new recruits of the Wolf Catcher Army, the son of the family, as a basis for criticism.
Chu Qing, as for Xu Shiqing, she just did it conveniently to give these Xunyang Tao aristocratic family members a long memory.
In fact, Xu Shiqing's luck is really good. If Mr. Qiu had not informed Tao Ruolin in time that Chu Qing did not want to touch Xu Shiqing, then Old Xu Tou would have been alive for three days at most, not one more day.
This is not an exaggeration at all. When Tao Ruolin found out that the Xu family was obstructing the border army's recruitment, she immediately came up with no less than ten ways to make the Xu family confiscate their property and exterminate the family.
Xu Shiqing had been targeted by Tao Ruolin since she first entered Beijing, but Tao Ruolin had been busy bullying the students in the academy and was too lazy to talk to Xu Shiqing and others.
