The first rays of light in the morning leapt out of the clouds. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In front of the main gate of Taiji Palace, the first dawn drum on the tower of Chengtianmen has been beaten.

The sound of the drums spread faintly, and then the drum towers on the north-south streets were heard following in turn.

The drums spread in waves, whether it was the palace, the inner city, or the city in the city, they all opened in turn.

At the same time, in the Taoist temple in Chang'an City, the morning bell also crashed into it, and the beating drums were intertwined with the deep and distant bells, which instantly woke up the entire Chang'an city and welcomed the rising sun from the eastern sky.

Passers-by began to appear on the lonely streets, some walked slowly, some looked hurried, and the number of people gradually increased, and the noise lingered in the sky above Chang'an City.

"My God! Do you dare to write this too?! In the middle of the lively breakfast crowd in the Chinese restaurant on the street, someone suddenly stood up, clutching a newspaper in his hand, his eyes were round and dumbfounded.

"Hurry up and buy a newspaper! Send it back to the family so that the elders can see it immediately! ”

"It's over! It's over! I'm afraid there will be no newspapers to read in the future! ”

"Hit the nail on the head! Hit the nail on the head! Someone finally spoke up for the people! ”

"The person who posted this article is really a fierce man!"

"Some people point out the disadvantages of the tax law, how brave is this! Our generation should take it as an example, help them, and speak for the people! …… The writer is Xia Hongsheng?! Sure enough, it's not mortal! ”

Such a situation, such words, Xia Hongsheng heard it while drinking soy milk and eating fritters.

It is also foreseeable that it will not only appear in Chang'an City.

Following Chang'an, it will also be in Luoyang, Taiyuan, Chengdu, Yuezhou, Xuanzhou, Yangzhou, Minzhou, Quanzhou, and Guangzhou...... Wherever there is a newspaper, these articles will be published one after another.

There was no one to eat breakfast, and they all hurried away with newspapers.

As soon as this newspaper came out, it was destined to shock the whole country.

Courtiers flocked to the palace with newspapers. Xia Hongsheng saw it on the road, and he just smiled and took a deep breath.

Not long after returning to the house in Chang'an, there was a knock on the door.

"Brother Sheng!" The person who came in was Li Chengqian, dressed in civilian clothes, still very ordinary, and said when he entered the door: "Close the door quickly, don't let others recognize me!" ”

Closing the door, Li Chengqian and Xia Hongsheng entered the hall, sat down, Li Chengqian said: "Father asked me to bring you two sentences, the first sentence is to live in a simple place, be careful to take precautions. The second sentence is about Jingyang, and it is correct. ”

Xia Hongsheng was about to speak, but he heard a report from the little maid that someone had come to the door.

When I asked who it was, I replied that it was in the house.

Li Chengqian avoided it for the time being, and after seeing the man come in to pay a visit, he took out a letter and said, "Grandpa ordered the little one to hand over this letter to the Hou Ye." ”

Xia Hongsheng took the letter from Fang Xuanling to him and unfolded it, with only four words on it, writing: Closed door and thank you.

"Thank you ......"

"Childe, there are people in front of you outside, saying that they are in the Wei Gongfu." Before Xia Hongsheng could speak, he was interrupted by the little guy outside.

"Thank you for your concern, please wait for me to reply, please rest assured." Xia Hongsheng said to the person sent by Fang Xuanling: "Please come out of the side door!" ”

The little guy left with the man, and the person sent by Li Jing came in, met Xia Hongsheng, and said: "Master Hou, my family general ordered me to talk to you, saying that if you have nothing to do, you can go to the military academy to live in peace for a while." ”

Xia Hongsheng said: "Thank you for your bother. Please call back to my grandfather on my behalf, please don't worry. ”

sent him away, and then Duan Zhixuan, Cheng Yanjin, Li Xiaogong, Yan Shigu and Li Gang and several other people sent people over to send messages to Xia Hongsheng, all of which reminded him that it was best to disappear for a while, wait for the emperor to deal with this matter, and don't come out again.

"Brother Sheng, why are you so impulsive this time, and just pick up the matter in the newspaper?" When no one came back, Li Chengqian came out again, sat down and asked.

"This is my tacit understanding with your father." Xia Hongsheng smiled and said, "Your Majesty's intention to merge the Hongwen Pavilion into the academy is already very obvious to others. Rather than waiting for them to make a small move, it's better for me to strike first. ”

"So...... Did you guess that my father wanted to hand over some of the power of Guozijian to Jingyang Academy? Li Chengqian asked.

Xia Hongsheng was taken aback: "Your Majesty really plans to do so?!" ”

Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "I can't tell, it's just a guess by the staff of the East Palace." However, my father has said something to me, and I think my father may really have this in mind. ”

Xia Hongsheng silently took a sip of tea and didn't ask much.

Li Chengqian looked at Xia Hongsheng and said, "Brother Sheng, the person I don't avoid the most is you." My father told me before that he was going to take advantage of this royal expedition to leave Chang'an, lure out those who had extra thoughts, and clean up together! If I am in charge of the country, I can listen to the opinions of my ministers on other matters, except for the military deployment in Gyeonggi, Longyou, Henan, and Shandong, and I must not be moved. If necessary, they are allowed to make their own decisions. ”

Xia Hongsheng's eyes froze and asked; "The governors of these places, when I was not in Chang'an, did I make a change in the name of the defense of the conquest of Tuyuhun? If my guess is correct, should it be the king of Hejian County, the Duke of Eguo, the Duke of Qian, the Duke of Hu and others? ”

Li Chengqian was taken aback: "How does Brother Sheng know?!" Exactly! Brother Tongsheng expected to be exactly the same! ”

"I'm afraid that General Duan will be named the Golden State Assassin this time, and it has something to do with it!" Xia Hongsheng said: "Cheng Qian, you must stabilize Your Majesty's arrangement, no matter what the courtiers say and do, how they persuade you, you must not touch these places and these people." ”

Li Chengqian sighed: "Brother Sheng, originally I didn't want to believe what I expected. Looking at your reaction today, and hearing you say this, it seems that what you expected is the same as what I expected. You say, do those people really dare to defy the world's condemnation and do that...... The move? ”

Xia Hongsheng was silent for a while, and then said: "It's still the same sentence I often say, the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit." It's just that the benefits of chasing are different. Chengqian, you don't have to worry too much. If Your Majesty is to conquer in person, he will leave you with men. In the court, Lord Yu, Lord Gao, Duke Wei, and Gong Fang can all be relied on. With them, there will be no chaos in the court. Locally, as long as the uncles arranged by His Majesty in the past are not transferred, there will be no chaos. Nowadays, the middle- and lower-ranking officers in the garrisons in various places have basically been replaced by cadets who have graduated from military academies. The loyalty of these people is unquestionable. If anyone really wants to do something, it's just a mantis arm as a car. His Majesty knew this, so he dared to use himself as bait to attract some people by first arousing contradictions and then leaving Chang'an. This is to lure the snake out of the hole!
