After the news of Huainan's victory came back to Jiankang, the atmosphere in the whole capital became much warmer day by day, which happened to be in contrast to the increasingly cold weather.

Originally, there was a celebration of Wang Shi's great victory, but it was only at the level of ordinary people. No matter how happy the people are, they don't have much entertainment in themselves, and they are so great that they sing from place to place, and after a moment of forgetfulness, they always have to return to their own lives.

However, as the news gradually spreads and all kinds of information about Huainan become more and more substantial, more and more people join the carnival. There is no shortage of villagers in the suburbs of who gathered into the capital, or wandered in Shen Garden, or directly outside Wuyi Lane, singing and praising Shen Hou and Huainan Wangshi.

So much so that Taichung could no longer remain indifferent, and sent many subordinates and guards in Taichung to be responsible for receiving those high-ranking and elderly people in the township. You must know that these people are the main force of the township theory, and if they neglect or criticize the Taiwan auxiliary government with material discussions, it will also be a big trouble.

And as Taichung has made a statement, more and more people have joined this national carnival. In the previous war, the wind of gathering of the sons of the capital family has also been greatly reduced, but now there is a relapse of the old ways. Between day and night, there are many pleasure boats on the Qinhuai River, and the boats are either silk and bamboo, or knock on the high songs, and some poems that have been circulated in the capital by Shen Hou in previous years have been frequently sung with various emphasis.

For example, "Don't laugh at me when you play and sing, break your guts and drain your liver to serve the king", or "Drive three thousand miles, capture the thief and share the fire", originally these poems did not match the interest of the time, because they were the name of Shen Hou, so they were spread in a small area. However, to this day, if any of the young people in Tokyo does not recite two sentences on weekdays, they will be looked down upon in terms of personality.

Looking at the street, it is rare to see Bo collar coats, young people who are keen to catch up with the trend, all wearing different styles of lacquer-colored bamboo armor, and the palm of the hand is pressed on the waist to hang the sword, so that the price of bamboo has soared in the short term. Even if you can't afford to buy an iron sword, you have to carve a scabbard with a hilt and wrap it in silk cloth, and each one is heroic, even if there are no horses to travel, you have to travel wide in the city. If you see any young man riding a slow and steady ox cart in the street, you must come up and point at it and laugh at it.

Because of this atmosphere, the county government and the guards arrested young men carrying bows, crossbows, and other controlled weapons in the downtown area every day, and at most hundreds of people. Those who can afford these items are naturally not poor families, and if they violate the ban, they can only pay money, otherwise they will be imprisoned. For a time, the income of the Protector Mansion and the county government in this area soared dozens of times, but people still enjoyed it.

Such a warm atmosphere is actually quite a lot of hidden dangers. Some young people were eager to see Shen Hou because they admired Shen Hou too much, and even directly attacked Princess Danyang's mansion, so that the family members in the mansion did not dare to stay in the city anymore, and the family went to the capital to do other jobs, while the eldest princess of Danyang was admitted to the garden to temporarily avoid these overly enthusiastic people.

In addition, there is no shortage of miscellaneous servants such as slaves who listen to people in the door. This part of the people is also trembling every day, and they don't dare to leave the house at all. Those young people who have nowhere to vent their enthusiasm are specifically targeting Hu people, and there have even been several cases of Hu Nu being directly beaten to death on the street!

If these were just pressures on law and order, then it soon became clear to the ministers how enthusiastic these young people were.

After October, it was already a cold winter, and there was gradually a dark knot of ice floe on the Qinhuai River. However, the cold wind is not enough to dispel the enthusiasm of young people in the capital, and there is still no shortage of pleasure boats gathering on the Qinhuai waterway, and there are young people singing and echoing. Suddenly, a young man on a boat shouted: "Now that the victory in Huainan has passed for more than half a month, Shen Houjie is in charge of the king's master, and there is no such thing as Zhongxing!" However, to this day, Taiwan Province still has no decree to issue a reward, is this a suspicion of dereliction of duty in power and neglect of great achievements? ”

As soon as these words came out, the tourists on the boat immediately discussed, and they all felt unhappy that Taichung could not reward the great merit in time.

"Shen Hou is a big slave, and he is a meritorious worker, how can he ignore such a great achievement! It is a great regret in life that we can't defeat the enemy from Shen Hou. Now that there is such injustice, how can you stand by! I will directly advise the audience, and order the Taiwan assistant to compensate the countrymen, who is willing to go together? ”

Someone looked at it like this, and it was already thunderous immediately. So the boats landed one after another, and soon hundreds of people gathered on the south side of the truss, and more and more young people flocked here to join them, and the procession gradually expanded, heading straight for the Suzaku Truss.

The big truss connects the north and south of Qinhuai, directly to the Xuanyang Gate of Taicheng, even during the day, ordinary people are never allowed to pass, as for the night, even if the envoy of the Taiwan Pavilion does not have an urgent warrant, he is not allowed to pass.

Therefore, when these young men gathered and approached the big truss, the guards who defended the big truss were already alarmed, and lined up on the south side of the big truss, erected torches and headlights, and illuminated the place as if it were daylight, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn. At the same time, the generals of the guards also sent people to report the situation here to Taicheng.

Seeing that the guards were tense and ready for battle, those young people who were still high morale and full of enthusiasm gradually hesitated, and some even retreated to the rear.

"Those who come quickly withdraw from the big truss forbidden area, if there is a prohibition, life and death do not matter!"

The general of the guard shouted that the mood could be described as bad. In fact, Jiankang City has maintained a curfew before, but due to the excitement of the news of Huainan's victory, the curfew gradually cannot be maintained. In places like the Qinhuai River, which are not easy to defend, the curfew is also useless. If the guards still have to strictly enforce the curfew, they will be busy until dawn every day.

"Shen Hou commanded the troops and Huaishang, and the fierce combat power broke through the caravan, and I don't know how many righteous people threw their blood! We have all inherited the grace of this blessing in the future, and now it is only for the sake of righteousness, how can there be a retreat! ”

There was a lot of roaring in the crowd, and a group of young people gathered together to regain their courage, although they did not dare to directly cross the guards and guards, but they all gathered near the big truss and did not retreat.

Someone even shouted directly to the guards: "You wait for the guards, they are also the ones who have been armored, and they can't make contributions to Shen Hou, they have already lost their duties, do you want to force the people to speak up now?" Taifu is derelict in his duties, his great achievements are not rewarded, and people can't bear it! ”

When the generals of the guards heard this roar, they were speechless for a while, so they could only order people to stay here and send people into the stage again to report the emergency.

Not long after, more guards poured in from the north of the big truss, and there were even many guards who crossed the Qinhuai River by boat, surrounding the people gathered here.

After nearly an hour of stalemate, the Xuanyang Gate of Taicheng was opened, and Yutan, the protector mansion, boarded the truss surrounded by the elite soldiers of the Su guards, and reached the front line of the confrontation. Seeing the nearly 1,000 people sniping here, Yu Tan also had a headache for a while, if this kind of thing is not handled well, it is really big or small. Originally, the victory in Huainan was an exciting event inside and outside, and if it was clouded with a layer of haze, it would be really embarrassing.

"You and other people, ignoring the curfew decree and gathering and loitering at night, can you know that it is illegal?"

Although he had a headache, Yu Tan still made people come forward and shout.

At this time, there were many young people gathered here, and there were naturally people who recognized Yu Tan, and even responded: "We are by no means thieves who ignore the law of the country, and we really have grievances to complain to the princes of Taiwan Province." Shenhou of Huainan defeated the thieves and slaves, sheltered the people of Jiangdong from military disasters, and died in danger. The great merit was crowned at that time, and everyone admired it! However, Huainan is successful, Taichung is delayed, and the righteous people are inevitably cold-blooded, and they also hope that Yu Gong can take care of people's feelings. If the meritorious can be treated justly, we will break the ban today, and we will be willing to be imprisoned in the future to receive the sin, and there will be no complaints! ”

"Shen Weizhou bears the grace of the country, and his ancestors love him, and he is obliged to meet the national crisis! Even if it succeeds, only the thought will live up to the favor and the people's expectations! Measure the merit to reward, because of the matter and reward, the court has its own public opinion, the etiquette has its own customization, this is not the township theory can be decided! When you gather here at night, your words are righteous, but in fact, you are deeply in touch with the law of the country, and you are above the etiquette with your personal feelings! Huainan righteous soldiers fought to kill the enemy, is it just to cover up your such willful absurdity? If it is a clear decision, where will you put Shen Weizhou in vain today? Is the righteous act of serving the country and the king actually an evil act of coercing merit and inviting favor? ”

Hearing the shouts of those young people, Yu Tan stepped forward with a straight face and shouted. These young people are either righteous indignation or different intentions, and they can't be carefully identified at this moment, but this kind of behavior really brings a lot of political risks to Shen Zhezi. So he learned of this in his sleep, and rushed out of the city despite his old age and fatigue, so as to bring the situation under control at the first time.

Hearing Yu Tan's scolding, the chaos in the crowd subsided slightly, and many young people who were originally enthusiastic gradually felt that something was wrong, and they all bowed their heads and raised their voices, not daring to shout wildly, but there were still many people still shouting there, and they had begun to show the intention of inciting the crowd.

Yu Tan's gray beard danced in the night wind, his eyebrows frowned even more, and he waved his hand to order the guards to bow and draw the strings, and then shouted: "From now on, within the three drums, those who can check their own gaffes and are unwilling to harm Shen Wei Zhou's reputation with willfulness will retreat by themselves, and today's ban can be ignored for the time being." After the three drums, if there is still this harm, there will be a division directly related to it, and its crime will be severely punished! Beat the drums! ”

The low sound of drums sounded in the formation of the Su Guards, and with the sound of the drums, the expressions of the young people present also changed, and many of them directly separated from the crowd and looked at the quiet march into the night. But there are still people who are clamoring for grievances and trying to continue the standoff. But after Yu Tan shouted this, he had already retreated to the Su Guard formation, ignoring those shouts.

At the same time, Yu Tan also summoned the subordinate officials of the Protector Army, and whispered an order to immediately patrol the various departments of the capital and guard at night, and strictly ordered all the guards who had crossed the guard to immediately arrest the commander in front of the army!

After three drums, the young people gathered in front of the truss dispersed. However, although the people dispersed, the riots caused by them spread, and it is conceivable that the entire Taicheng will be another sleepless night.

After properly handling this emergency, Yu Tan was not in a relaxed mood, and on the way back to Taicheng, he called his own cronies and nephews in Su Weizhong, and whispered to him to report the matter to Shen Chong in Beijing urgently.
