751 Rich and Wife
Yang Tong smashed all the priceless precious porcelain to the ground, pulled out the sword beside him in anger, and slashed indiscriminately, until the palace maids and eunuchs on the side were all scared to kneel on the ground, prostrate and did not dare to get up, and said "The emperor is angry", trembling.
Wang Shichong, Yuan Wendu, Duan Da, Huangfu Wuyi, Luo Shixin and others stood aside, their faces solemn.
"General Duan, immediately send someone to pass on Zhen to enter the palace to see me, and if you don't enter the palace again, I will let his head fall to the ground!"
……
A team of fast horses galloped on the streets of Longmen Town, the leader of the team was a general of the guard, the whip of the horse was whipped fast, the speed of the horse was mentioned to the limit, the pedestrians on the street dodged one after another, and for a time the scolding was everywhere, and the general of the guard shouted in his mouth: "The emperor has urgent holy decree, who dares to stand in the way, there is no forgiveness!" ”
The people of Longmen Town were all amazed, thinking that something big had happened, because since Longmen Town became the fiefdom of the Secret Guard General, no one had ever dared to rampage through the streets of Longmen Town so blatantly.
The next day, a notice was posted on the notice board of the government offices of Luoyang and nearby prefectures and counties, which said that the general of the secret guard had fornicated with foreign enemies, deceived the monarch and concealed it, tried in vain to confuse the public with fallacies, persuaded the emperor to surrender and other rebellious remarks, disturbed the super-outline, disturbed the morale of the army, and saw that he had made outstanding military achievements in the past, and made a lot of contributions to Luoyang, and the merits were offset by the demerits, the capital crime could be avoided, and the living crime was unforgivable, and his title and position were stripped off, and the military power was withdrawn, and the fiefdom of Longmen Town was recovered, and he was demoted to a commoner, and he was not allowed to leave Luoyang for half a step for life, and he was no longer hired.
As soon as this announcement came out, the people of Longmen Town were in an uproar and were terrified. They all thought that Longmen Town would decline from now on, and many shops were closed in panic. Preparing to move their families out of Longmen Town, some people took advantage of the fire to rob, robbed some shops, burned some houses, and killed some people.
The Dark Guard was even more indignant, and there was a sense of grief and indignation in the army, and Li Daliang, Pei Xingyan and others felt that the Lord was mediocre. With no hope for the future, a number of brigade commanders and generals were gathered and secretly began to discuss the defection of leading the army.
If it weren't for Luo Shixin, he arrived in time with 3,000 Zuoling guards. took over the Dark Guard, suggesting that if anyone dared to act rashly, Zhen would definitely die, and then the idea of defecting was dispelled.
Luo Shixin also personally issued a notice to reassure the residents of the town, and everything is business as usual. The residents of Longmen Town have settled down a little. There are still many people who wait and see and make up their minds that if there is any more trouble, they will immediately flee Longmen Town with their families.
This made Luo Shixin feel sad, and although Zhen's pessimistic insight of life and suffering was depressing, when he really realized that this was the reality, he worked hard for them and worked for their well. What is it for, and the idea of whether it is worth it or not irrepressibly comes to mind.
Longmen Town for them. It's just a refuge, not a home, once in trouble, the first thing these people think of is not to stick to and fight, but to flee, so that people can never become qualified residents of Longmen Town, they are always just refugees, no matter what civilization they go to, they will only be discriminated against and excluded.
These people only know how to complain and take, for their own interests, they have never paid and grateful, and there is no concept of responsibility and obligation, this is not their fault, it is the cultural defects and institutional shortcomings of a group, the whole environment is like this, even when it comes to the devastating blow, they are still complaining about who caused their predicament today, but they don't know that today's predicament, no one is the same, everything is their own every choice.
Thankfully, things didn't go any worse.
After Zhen Mingku was stripped of all his positions, the plaque of the Dark Guard Mansion was taken off and replaced with the plaque of Zuo Lingwei's Mansion, and the Dark Guard Mansion became General Zuo Lingwei's Mansion in a blink of an eye.
The palace guards in the palace have also been replaced by the left Ling guard to the right tun guard of the emperor.
……
Under the supervision of Zuo Lingweijun, Zhang and his eldest grandson Bei'er took a car from Longmen Town to Luoyang City, where Zhen Mingkuzheng was wearing a simple farmer's costume and holding a hoe to cultivate sweet potatoes in the wasteland in the yard.
The lotus leaves in the pond began to sprout sharp horns, and it was time to see that it was summer again.
A few hundred meters away from the surrounding courtyard, there was a sentry of the Zuo Ling Guard at intervals, monitoring everything in the house.
When Zhang and his eldest grandson Belle pushed the door and walked into the courtyard, they saw Zhen Mingkuzheng waving to them with a smile on his face, and his heart was sour, his eyes were red, and tears fell, and he ran towards him and threw himself into his arms.
Zhen Ming hugged their moving bodies, there was no trace of frustration on his face, and said with a smile: "From today on, you are going to live a hard life with your husband, who is now a guilty body, penniless, restricted in movement, and confiscated property...... Yes! ”
The two women invariably twisted his ears, glared at each other, and shouted: "Even if you become a beggar, don't want to get rid of us!" ”
Zhen Ming was drunk with hard work, but he begged for mercy in his mouth: "Lady spare your life!" ”
……
The days of isolation are happier than the days of the explosion of information.
People are happy because they know too little; The more you know, the more you discover your ignorance, the more painful it becomes.
Without the flood of war reports and information from all over the country, without the hypocrisy of the bureaucrats, and without the trouble of fighting for power and profit, Zhen Mingku completely cut off contact with the outside world and lived freely and carefree.
Every day, I work and cultivate with Zhang's and eldest grandson Bei'er in the one-acre and three-third of the land in their yard, and under Zhang's craftsmanship, coarse tea and light rice can also make different new ideas.
After eating every day, he sat in the rocking chair with them in his arms, gazed at the stars and the moon, and told them some anecdotes of the twenty-first century, although he did not say it explicitly, but the two women had slowly learned that he came from a world that did not belong here, and they were not much surprised by this, and the surprises he gave them were so great that they were a little numb and did not ask, and they were also afraid that they would know too much of his secrets, and one day he would suddenly disappear without a trace.
At night, they lay on the big bed that was more than twice as long and wide as him, played movies with the projector of the mobile phone, and sometimes played wool films, and lived a carefree life.
Occasionally, I take them out shopping, and some people watch them from afar.
In order not to make people suspicious, Zhen Mingzhu did not go to any teahouses and restaurants where it was easy to find out the news, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
The world will not stop because of the loss of anyone, Luoyang City is still the same, the only thing that feels the change is the soaring prices.
On this day, he accompanied Zhang's to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, and when he came back, Zhang's only carried a chicken and a few kinds of greens.
At dinner, Zhen Mingku noticed her sad face, and couldn't help but ask her what's wrong, she just said that the prices in Luoyang City have risen too much, there is a lack of materials, and now there is no silver to buy things, Wang Shichong controlled the supply of goods, except for the unlimited supply of government personnel and nobles with titles, the common people can only buy a small amount of daily necessities every day.
Zhen Ming listened bitterly, was silent, sandwiched the only piece of chicken into Zhang's bowl, lowered his head and ate the rice in the bowl one bite at a time.
The eldest grandson Belle couldn't help but ask: "Zhen Lang, is Ah Dong really willing to plunge Luoyang into war than give up his throne?" ”
"This is also human nature, no one wants to give up their things to others, let alone the other party is still the enemy who killed his brother."
Zhang finally couldn't help but ask the question that had been hanging in her heart: "Xianggong, have you really taken refuge in the Li family in Chang'an?" ”
Zhen Mingku was silent for a long time before he said: "I didn't take refuge in anyone, I just made a choice that I thought was beneficial to all of us, as for how others choose, it is not something I can control, I have tried my best." ”
"Is it Ling Shuang's idea, is it right that she asked you to do this, does Ah Dong know about this, hasn't she been supporting Ah Dong behind her back and giving advice to Ah Dong? What the hell is she trying to do? ”
Zhen Ming sighed bitterly and said: "There are some things that she can't help herself, and she is also thinking about the safety and well-being of Yang Tong and the people of Luoyang......
Zhang's lips moved slightly, and he wanted to say something, but finally he couldn't help but say nothing, and packed up the dishes and chopsticks with his eldest grandson Belle and went out of the house.
…………
"Sister Ling, do you know why this palace came to you so late?"
Fu Lin stared at the woman in black clothes and with a graceful figure in front of him, it was none other than the third lady of the Li family, Ling Shuang, the third princess of the Tang Dynasty.
Ling Shuang looked at her, there was no trace of weakness, flaws or guilt on her face, and she was as calm as she was at any time.
"How long have we not seen each other?"
Fu Lin said: "It's been more than ten years. ”
"Why don't you keep seeing me?"
"With the means of the third young lady, isn't it easy to sneak into this palace to meet this palace? Hongu also wants to know why you didn't come until now. ”
Ling Shuang looked at Fu Lin, who unconsciously showed happiness in her eyes, as far as she knew, Fu Lin had never been so radiant as it was today.
"You seem to have some misunderstanding about me."
Fu Lin smiled slightly: "Is it a misunderstanding?" ”
"Who I am, you knew ten years ago, I didn't hide anything from you."
"I know, Ah Dong is under your care to successfully ascend the throne, Ah Dong told me, you have been giving him advice behind his back, I want to thank you for Ah Dong."
"That's what I promised you."
"But," Fu Lin's face sank, "I would never have thought that one day we would be in opposing positions, now you are the third princess of the Tang Dynasty, I am the eldest princess of the prosperous Tai Dynasty, your father killed my younger brother Yang Yu, usurped my Great Sui country, and wanted Ah Dong to give up Luoyang and surrender to your Li family,
We have no possibility of being friends again, the reason why I haven't told Ah Dong your identity so far is that I take into account the past friendship, I don't want to disappoint Ah Dong and be sad, this palace has been secretly observing you, fortunately, you haven't done anything to be sorry for Ah Dong......"
