Shangyuan Festival.

This is the first important festival after the New Year's Festival, also known as the Lantern Festival, which is not only a continuation of the New Year's Festival, but also an end of the New Year's Festival.

Originally, this was a very grand and festive festival, but in Youzhou City, there was no neon to see the festival, the whole city was under martial law, soldiers with guns and knives patrolled back and forth in teams, and the people did not dare to go to the street anymore, they could only peep out through the crack in the door, one by one frightened, and they didn't know what was going on.

The eunuchs, who had already entered the city a few days earlier, suddenly received an order to go to the governor's palace to attend the council today.

Originally, after they entered the city, they all wanted to rush to see Biqiu Jian, but when they arrived at the Governor's Mansion, they had a closed door, and Biqiu Jian closed the door to thank the guests, and no one saw them, just let them stay in the pavilion and wait for the summons.

This abnormal behavior made these Taishou feel uneasy, and the ban in Youzhou City was only allowed to enter, once they entered the city, it was like being imprisoned, and they couldn't leave Youzhou City at all.

This situation has never happened before, although Biqiu Jian, as the governor of Youzhou, is their top boss, but they are also officials appointed by the imperial court, dignified 2,000 stone officials, Biqiu Jian should not have the right to detain them like this.

These Taishou also inquired about each other, but everyone didn't know why, and they couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Biqiu Jian's gourd, so they could only wait anxiously.

Early in the morning of the 15th day of the first lunar month, they all received a notice asking them to go to the Governor's Mansion at the right time to attend the meeting, and all those who made a mistake would be dealt with according to military law.

Those Taishou naturally did not dare to delay, and after getting up, they hurried to the Governor's Mansion, the security of the Governor's Mansion was even more stringent, along the way, three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, awe-inspiring with a murderous aura, which made these Taishou drums even more in their hearts, Biqiu Jian was so arranged, could it be that something big was going to happen in Youzhou City?

At the door, the inventory is more strict, the guards are only allowed to enter alone, and those who are close to them are not allowed to enter, and the guards are required to hand over the swords and weapons they wear.

This situation has never happened before, officials need to disarm except to meet the Son of Heaven, and they have never heard of a boss who also needs to disarm their weapons.

Thinking of this, these officials couldn't help but gasp, and a bold idea emerged, I'm afraid this Biqiu Jian is not going to rebel, right?

As soon as they thought of this, all the Taishou were in a cold sweat, rebellion is a serious crime, many of their families, but they are still in Luoyang or other places, once Biqiu Jian rebelled, they will also be implicated, those relatives in Luoyang will naturally not be spared.

In addition to these guards, officials at all levels in Youzhou also came to order, but compared to the panicked appearance of these guards in other counties, the officials in Youzhou were relatively indifferent, they didn't even wear swords, so the speed of passage was very fast, and they entered the governor's mansion one after another.

The guards still want to fight, although it is useless for them to hold swords, but because of their usual habits, they always feel that they have no weapons to accompany them, and they have no sense of security, so they still want to fight with the guards to see if they can be accommodating.

The guards at the door were iron-faced and selfless, and they didn't hand over their weapons, so they didn't want to go in, and seeing that if they continued to argue like this, they would be mistaken, and the guards had no choice but to untie their swords and hand them over to the guards at the door.

This is, the Taishou suddenly found the figure of the prison guard from the row of Youzhou officials, he was just dressed in a cloth robe, defenseless, with his head down, looking preoccupied.

All the guards stepped forward one after another, and arched their hands: "The guard guards—"

They knew that Wei Qian was a person from the imperial court, and his status in Youzhou was second only to Biqiu Jian, and they couldn't see Biqiu Jian, so they finally saw Wei Qian, and they all scrambled to inquire about some news.

However, Wei Qian looked indifferent, his face was full of haggardness, and he waved his hand gently, signaling them to enter the Governor's Mansion.

The guards had no choice but to enter the house first and came to the meeting hall.

Biqiu Jian still didn't show up, but the atmosphere in the lobby was even more strict, and the guards around him were no longer the way of three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, they were completely densely lined up one by one, although the sword was in the sheath and not set out, but it could still make people feel the faint murderous aura in the venue, which made people shudder.

There were already quite a few officials in the lobby, and everyone knelt on the mats, whispering to each other.

Officials at each level have a fixed position, generally speaking, the higher the position, the higher the position, the higher the position, the lower the position, the last in line, these taishou are all two thousand stone officials, after entering, naturally someone led them to the designated position.

Originally, the army attached great importance to the matter of ordering Mao, and those who mistook it even had a precedent of being pulled out by the superior to cut off their heads, and the punishment was a hundred whips, so almost no one dared to make a mistake in this regard.

Although many people speculate that Biqiu Jian is likely to plot a rebellion, but it is only a guess, especially in this environment, no one dares to say this kind of speculation, otherwise, it is asking for trouble.

Don't dare to say it, it doesn't mean that you don't dare to think about it, the more you think about it, the more you feel scared, if Biqiu Jian really rebels, then all of them are difficult to stay out of the matter, their lives are difficult to protect, and the whole family will suffer.

The faces of many officials have become extremely ugly, and none of them know what fate awaits them.

The atmosphere of the scene was in a depressive state.

Biqiu Xiu appeared at the exit, and now that all the people who should have entered the hall had entered, his task was to seal the entrance, and no one was allowed to leave the lobby until the council was over.

As soon as this exit was blocked, the hearts of all the officials sank again, unless it was a major rebellion, otherwise Biqiu Jian didn't need to be so heavily guarded, right? In the past, it was common to come to the Governor's Mansion to discuss matters, and there has never been such a battle as today, which is really a bit too scary, it is said that there is no good banquet, there will be no good meeting, and today's meeting is not destined to be a good meeting.

At this moment, someone in the back hall sang loudly: "The governor of Biqiu has arrived-"
