Chapter 1075: The Dragon Raised Its Head
On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
In the ancient Zhou Dynasty, this was an important spring ploughing festival, and King Wu of Zhou personally went to the fields on the second day of February every year, and called on hundreds of officials to follow suit to show that he attached importance to farming.
The royal mother sent food to the royal driver, and this came from this.
Today's Empress of the Great Zhou considers herself to be a descendant of the ancient Great Zhou Dynasty, and she has inherited this custom. On the second day of the second month of February, Wu Zetian took hundreds of civil and military officials to the fields on the outskirts of Luoyang, and personally took a hoe and waved it twice.
This made the civil and military officials very emotional.
Although the empress of "driving and cultivating" is just making a show, and no "imperial lady" will come to bring her food, the civil and military officials who have not seen the monarch for a long time finally see a "living" emperor. In this way, the court will still have the backbone, and the world will not really be in chaos.
The emperor took a large number of high-ranking officials and important ministers to the suburbs, and the palace seemed a little deserted. The prison of the Criminal Department, which has always been heavily guarded and rarely visited by the living, is even quieter.
This year's Shendu Luoyang, the spring is cold, as if it is colder than winter.
Two jailers lit a large fire in front of the cell door, but it didn't look like they were going to use it for warmth. They took one after another of the smoky coals out of the fire, put them in other iron basins, and carried them into their cells.
Those who can be imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department are not ordinary characters, and maybe one day they will turn over and become nobles again. Therefore, the jailers here have always been very good at being people, and it is not uncommon to burn a pot of charcoal on a cold day to warm the prisoner uncle in prison.
But today this brazier took one pot after another, and it seemed like there was no end in sight. And all these braziers, all sent to the same cell.
In addition to a prisoner in the cell, there was also a young man who was incomparably richly dressed and envied by women.
"Guo An, the fisherman who sent the Hun is known as Xue Shao's eyes." The young man looked at the prisoner in the cell, smiling grimly and hatefully, and said, "Am I right? ”
Guo An looked at the young man in front of him who exuded a strong fragrance of fat powder and could be described as "enchanting", and sneered lightly without saying a word.
Pots and pots of charcoal fires were still moving in, and the cell, which was constantly flooded by the north wind, had become very warm.
"If I disdain to speak to me, I despise me." The young man paced with one hand and said unhurriedly, "It's not strange, because I also despise you very much." At most, you are just a dog loyal to Xue Shao, and other than that, you are worthless. ”
Guo An said "heh" for the second time, but still did not speak.
The young man gritted his teeth and frowned in annoyance, and after a moment of silence, he waved his hand.
Several jailers carried a large iron cage into the cell.
The cage was obviously freshly made, and it was very large, strong, and heavy, and they had a great deal of effort to lift.
"Guo An, a rude and reckless man like you must have never eaten such a delicacy as goose and duck." The young man glanced at Guo An and continued, "I remember that three years ago today, it was February 2nd Dragon raised its head. A few of my brothers and I got together and agreed to offer a dish and taste it together to see who would win. I created my own goose and duck delicacies. Do you want to know, how is it cooked? ”
Guo An didn't bother to take care of him at all.
The young man didn't care anymore, so he said to himself: "I will first place the iron cage on top of the burning charcoal fire, and then put the goose and duck into the iron cage, and then place the mixed sauce and vinegar five-flavor sauce in the cage. Goose and duck are very thirsty when heated, so they will drink soy sauce and vinegar to quench their thirst. By the time their feathers have fallen and their flesh is cooked, the flavor of the sauce and vinegar five-flavor sauce has already filled their bodies. The goose and duck cooked in this way is the most delicious in the world. ”
Guo An glanced at the large iron cage that had just been moved in, and was being carried onto the brazier by several jailers.
He sneered for the third time.
"Today, it's February 2 again." The young man was still talking to himself, and there seemed to be a hint of sadness in his voice, "Every year today, our brothers gather together to taste the food. Today, not to. Do you know, but why? ”
Guo An said lightly: "It should be that the goose and duck have eaten too much and suffered retribution." ”
"You! ......" the young man shouted angrily, "get him out and put him in a cage!" ”
"Don't bother, I'll just walk in myself." Guo An stood up calmly and pointed to the prison door, "Open the prison door." ”
A few jailers, you look at me, I look at you, but no one comes forward.
"There is a debtor and a debtor, and I don't blame you." Guo An was still indifferent, "Open the door." ”
Finally, a man stepped forward and opened the cell door.
Guo An walked out.
Several jailers took a few steps back in unison. The young man was also a little nervous and quietly took a step back.
A jailer said cautiously, "General Guo, we all know that you are extraordinary. If you hadn't been imprisoned, no one would have been able to catch you. Even if you're shackled, if you really want to escape, there's no place in the world where you can be locked up......"
Guo An glanced around at them, smiled, and walked into the iron cage.
The jailers were stunned for a moment as they heard the sizzling sound of the flesh being burned and smelled a scorching stench.
But Guo An was like a nobody, just standing quietly in the iron cage.
The young man was also a little stunned, and he shouted, "Charcoal, charcoal!!" ”
Pots and pots of red-hot coals were thrown into the big basin at the foot of the iron cage.
Guo An's prison clothes had been set on fire, but he still stood quietly, his teeth clenched and he didn't say a word.
The young man covered his mouth and nose with an embroidered handkerchief, and shouted indistinctly, "I will moxibustion you today." With your dog's life, with his eyes, sacrifice my brother's spirit in the sky! ”
Guo An's hair had been set on fire, but he still didn't move.
Several of the jailers were already a little overwhelmed and quietly wanted to go out.
"A few of you." Guo An said suddenly.
Several jailers screamed in fright, and hurriedly turned around and knelt in front of the iron cage, "General Guo An, you are a god, you are a true god!" ”
"I'm not a god, I'm dying." Guo An laboriously said word by word, "Do me a favor and send a message to Captain Xue for me." Let's just say that Guo An never begged anyone for mercy until he died. What he asked us in the Three Blades Brigade, I finally did. ”
……
Three days later, the restless army of the right guard Luoshui, which had been restless for a long time, finally mutinied!
After Dang Jinbi and Guo Dafeng were imprisoned, the imperial court drew two generals from the military training of the Imperial Forest to temporarily lead the right guard military. In the early morning of that day, the enraged soldiers of the Right Guard rushed into the camp, tied the two Imperial Forest Army generals with hemp ropes and threw them onto a military boat, leaving them to float aimlessly on the Luoshui.
Then, more than 30,000 right guard troops stationed in the Luoshui military camp mutinied together!
Since it was not wartime, the 30,000-strong army was only equipped with a small number of war horses and light weapons such as lacquer guns and horizontal knives for training.
But they are soldiers of the right guard, and these weapons are already too enough for them.
Not long after the military ship carrying the two generals floated to the river, the people of the right guard had already rushed to the Dingding Gate of Luoyang City.
The people on the road were frightened and fled in a hurry.
The sergeant defending the city was dumbfounded, and could only close the gate as soon as possible.
"You—You're all the brothers of the right guard?" The defenders cried out, "What are you going to do?" ”
"Open the gates!"
"Otherwise, the killing will go in!!"
"Chickens and dogs don't leave !!"
The defender of the city almost fell headlong from the top of the city, and ran backwards even with a rolling belt. As he ran, he shouted: "The right guard is crazy, the right guard is crazy!" ”
As soon as the defenders of the city ran, the sergeants at the head of the city screamed and screamed, and they all ran away.
"Right guard! That's the Luoshui army of the right guard! ”
"Who the fuck wants to fight the right guard?!"
"That's a bunch of bastards who even tigers and wolves have to peel and cramp and barbecue meat!"
……
In the palace, the pot was fried.
Half of the civil and military officials and the city guards were almost the same shape, and they broke into the Danqi of the Vientiane Shrine.
Wu Zetian was on the dragon chair, sitting upright as usual, his majesty was undiminished, "What's the matter?" ”
"Your Majesty, the right guard has mutinied and has been attacked in front of the Dingding Gate!"
"Got it." Wu Zetian's face sank like water, "Where is Guo Yuanzhen?" ”
Guo Yuanzhen in the train frowned, and stood up reluctantly, "Your Majesty, the minister is here." ”
"Xia Guan Shangshu Xue Shao is not here, you are the leader of the squire Xia Guan." Wu Zetian said, "Now that something has happened to the right guard, what do you care?" ”
"Your Majesty......" Guo Yuanzhen had already made mental preparations, slowly took off his official hat and put it on the ground, and said: "The minister has nothing to say about this, and there is nothing to be done. The minister can only take the blame and resign, and is willing to be punished. ”
"......" Wu Zetian gritted his teeth and was silent.
At this time, Di Renjie stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the top priority is not to hold accountable, but to solve the chaos in front of you. ”
"I know." Wu Zetian said, "I just want Guo Yuanzhen to go and appease the right guard." But look at him now, can I still send him? ”
"Huh? Isn't it meant to punish crimes? Guo Yuanzhen picked up the hat from the ground again, put it on, and said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, without further ado, if you really let the sergeant of the right guard rush in, then everything will be out of control!" ”
The people of the Manchu Dynasty let out a giggle.
"You still laugh?!" Wu Zetian was furious, "Guo Yuanzhen, I order you to go and appease the right guard army and stop the mutiny." I might as well put the ugly things in front of me, and if they are willing to turn back, I can never blame the past. Otherwise, I can make them all wiped out in the middle of my hand! ”
"Yes, yes, the minister knows." Guo Yuanzhen said, "Those bastard boys are just ignorant, Your Majesty, don't be angry." The minister immediately scolded them all back! ”
After that, Guo Yuanzhen pulled his leg and ran away.
Wu Zetian let out a long sigh and sat down.
Di Renjie secretly wiped a cold sweat, and said in his heart that the things in front of him can be big or small. The right guard and these people are actually not too fierce, otherwise with their ability, the entire Luoyang City would have been bleeding a long time ago.
Since they still have reservations, they will definitely be able to put them forward......
Wu Zetian obviously thought of this as well. So, she sat in this palace with the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu and waited.
Waiting for Guo Yuanzhen's news.
It was almost evening, and Guo Yuanzhen finally came back.
As soon as he came back, he took off his hat again and put it on the ground, "Your Majesty, the minister is incompetent......"
"I will not punish you now." Wu Zetian almost expected it, and said indifferently, "I just want to know, what did they say?" ”
"Minister...... Don't dare to say. ”
"I can hear from others." Wu Zetian said, "Then come back and treat you for the crime of bullying the king." ”
"Don't, don't...... Chancellor said! Guo Yuanzhen sighed, "They just want a human head." ”
Wu Zetian's voice sank suddenly, "Do you want to die?" ”
"No, it's not!" Guo Yuanzhen said, "Yes, Zhang Yizhi!" ”
Wu Zetian shot the case again, "It's impossible!" ”
