Chapter 114: The Heart Is Panicking
The news that Luzhou was broken by the Southwest Army soon spread throughout the capital, and there was an uproar in the capital.
You must know that Luzhou City is far from the capital, but more than 300 miles, and it can even be said that it is already Jinggi, but it is not under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Mansion, Luzhou Mansion and the capital are very close, many Luzhou people settle down in the capital, there are also many people in the capital have industries in Luzhou, there are many relatives between the two places, Luzhou City is broken, and the people of the capital who have relatives in Luzhou are worried.
Moreover, according to rumors, Luzhou City only lasted five days before it was broken.
The defenders of Luzhou exceeded 100,000, and they did not hold out for long, it is conceivable that even the capital may not be able to block the southwest army.
More importantly, some people took advantage of the middle of the night to post the documents of the Southwest Army on the streets and alleys of the capital.
The text of the Southwest Army, which was drafted by Zhao Jia himself, is very simple and direct, that is, to attack today's Son of Heaven is immoral, ** court, persecution of his brother, connivance at the rebellion of the Yuwen Department, etc., as a native of the Great Jin Dynasty, Zhao Jia especially knows how to attack the emperor, he put from the first year of Yuan Zhao to the present five years, drought, earthquake, locust plague, flood and a series of natural disasters in various places, all written in the text, at a glance, shocking.
According to the theory of celestial induction, when God sends a disaster, the emperor is incompetent.
After all, the emperor is the Son of Heaven, the eldest son of the Emperor of Heaven who manages the world on behalf of God, and God is angry, so naturally you, the eldest son, have not done a good job.
The most fatal thing is that there is also something about the Six Princes written in the text, and there is a very crucial sentence in it.
"The sky is angry, the people are in trouble, the six sons of the first emperor are upright, and their virtues are profound.
The clear meaning of this sentence is that if the six princes become emperors, there will not be so many disasters in the world, and the common people will not suffer with the current emperor.
However, this sentence secretly has a deeper meaning.
That is, as long as the six princes ascend the throne, the Southwest Army will withdraw its troops.
This second layer of meaning, the small people may not understand, but most of the scholars in the court can be seen at a glance, in fact, this layer of meaning is also written for these people, and it is very clear to tell them that as long as the Son of Heaven is replaced, the Great Jin will still be the Great Jin, and the court will still be the court.
This method of posting big-character posters is still a trick used by Li Xin when he was a teenager, but I have to admit that this method is still very useful after more than ten years, at least in this era when the news is not spreading very quickly, this method can make one thing quickly spread all over the streets and alleys.
Of course, in the face of this kind of action, Jingzhao Mansion was not completely inactive, and the next morning, Jingzhao Mansion began to confiscate these big-character posters that had been posted throughout the city, and posted notices, clearly stating that if anyone dared to hide anti-thief documents, they would be directly imprisoned and punished with the same crime as anti-thieves.
Jingzhao Mansion worked hard for several days to confiscate more than ninety percent of the "big-character posters" in the capital, but there are still some texts secretly circulated in the capital, compared to big-character posters, what is more terrible is word of mouth, after all, Zhao Jia's text is written, although the Son of Heaven is scolded very badly, but on the whole it is still reliable, and the word of mouth of the common people is very different.
Because of this incident, Jingzhao Mansion arrested dozens of people who talked nonsense in the whole city, and the people in the city were worried about whether the southwest thieves would enter the capital on the one hand, and on the other hand, they were always worried about whether they would be arrested by Jingzhao Mansion and put them in prison, and everyone was in danger for a while.
At the same time, the court in the capital is also turbulent.
Originally, whether it was the people of the Great Jin Dynasty or the officials of the Great Jin Dynasty, they all had a lot of confidence in the imperial court, after all, the strength of the Great Jin Dynasty has been recognized by the people of the world for decades, but in the past few months, the Southwest Army has been fighting from the southwest to Luzhou near the capital, which has subverted everyone's perception of the military strength of the Great Jin.
The twelve gates of the capital were all closed ten days ago, and it is difficult for everyone to enter and exit now, but even so, there are still many high-ranking officials and nobles, or relying on connections or money, trying to leave the capital by all means.
Before the southwest army entered the city, the people in the capital were already panicking.
The court has also been affected, Yuan Zhao Tianzi has not convened the Zaifu for several days, and on this day's court meeting, when hundreds of civil and military officials gathered in Weiyang Palace to prepare to meet the Son of Heaven, Xiao Zheng, a big eunuch dressed in red, walked over with unhurried steps, and walked in front of the house, he bowed slightly, and said: "Fang Xiang, Your Majesty is sick, today's court meeting is over, Your Majesty has ordered, if there is anything, it will be sent to Shangshutai, and Shangshutai needs to be presented to the imperial review, which can be handed over to our family." ”
The house looked at his colleagues left and right, and helplessly lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "Dare to ask the Grand Duke, how is Your Majesty's health, do you need to be visited by your ministers?" ”
Xiao Zheng shook his head slightly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty just occasionally feels cold, and it will be fine in a few days." ”
"That'll be fine."
The house exhaled slightly, turned to the civil and military officials, and said: "The words of the Grand Duke, you have also heard it, if there is any book that needs to be sent, you will send it to Shangshutai, if the matter is in a hurry, Shangshutai can reply to you today." ”
"Okay, if you have a chapter, go to Shangshutai with the old man, and if you don't have a chapter, you will go back to the yamen on an errand."
"It's all gone."
After the old man left the court, this minister became the most senior minister in the court, and after he said this, the civil and military officials glanced at each other and dispersed.
After everyone left, Fang Wei glanced back at Xiao Zheng, bowed his head slightly and asked, "Grand Duke, Your Majesty...... Is it okay? ”
"Don't worry, it's okay."
The house nodded slightly, and continued to speak: "Grand Duke, the current situation is complicated, there are great enemies outside the capital, the old man is the left servant of Shang Shutai, there is something to present to Your Majesty, please lead the way." ”
Xiao Zheng looked embarrassed, he lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "Fang Xiang, it's not that the slave and maid refuse to take Fang Xiang to see Your Majesty, it's really Your Majesty now, not in Weiyang Palace." ”
"Not in Weiyang Palace?"
The house frowned slightly and said, "Then Your Majesty is there?" ”
"Back to Xiangye, Your Majesty is here...... will be a supervisor. ”
At this time, in the prison, a young man who looked to be in his early twenties in ordinary clothes was staring intently at the pile of gray medicinal powder in front of him, his eyes were bloodshot, and his eyes were excited.
"This thing...... Does it work? ”
The general who bowed down and stood beside him lowered his head and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the ministers have already tried, although they are still humble about the medicinal powder of the Southwest Heavenly Thunder, but it is not much different......
"Good...... Very good. ”
The Son of Heaven looked excited, gritted his teeth and said: "I will give you a day to get the first batch of heavenly thunder for me, and tomorrow night, I will be in the school field and see my Dajin heavenly thunder!" ”
