In the north city of Luoyang, there are many pawns, shouting and selling one after another.

Lifting the curtain and glancing out, Liu Chao sat back in the carriage, and his thoughts were tumbling in his heart.

The imperial capital of Luoyang is worthy of its name, but now Jinling is not inferior.

It is said that now the route to Xiqin has been determined, a tael of silk can be exchanged for a tael of gold, as well as tea and porcelain, all of which are goods needed by Xiqin, and a shipload of goods can be exchanged for half a shipload of silver.

Luoyang is prosperous, and if the emperor obtains it, I don't know if it will be relocated here.

"My lord, it's here. Someone interrupted Liu Chao's thinking, Liu Chao glanced out with a faint smile and a pair of Danfeng eyes: "Let people go over and find a good seat first." ”

"The little one has been sent over, please rest assured. ”

Because they were outside, these people from Liu Chao directly called Liu Chao "adult".

Adults can be big or small, even a nine-grade petty official can be called, so it is not conspicuous, and Liu Chao is relatively plainly dressed, and there are many entourages with him, and his clothes have changed a little, so that people don't see that they are special.

On one of the most prosperous streets in the north city, a new pearl square has been opened.

Although it is the boundary where the middle and lower classes live, there are still many places for pleasure here.

After all, it is a cheap job to engage in such a service business, and no matter how ornate the decoration of the house is, it is impossible to allow it to be opened in the area where officials live.

This pearl fang, should be some powerful people, pretending to be opened by the hands of his subordinates, only from such a large scale here, in this market can still be opened safely, business is prosperous, it can be seen.

The carriage in which Liu Chao rode passed through the bustling crowd, and after another half a column, it finally stopped.

Listening to the voice of his entourage outside, Liu Chao opened his eyes, lifted the thick curtain, and jumped out of it.

The entourage was busy supporting him, and Liu Chao said lightly: "No need." ”

Although he looks like a literati, in fact, Liu Chao has also practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he can ride ** pass, how can he not even get out of the car?

Because of his handsome appearance and the appearance of a handsome son, some people who came and went couldn't stop looking at him, which made Liu Chao's smile a little more restrained.

Look up, located in front of this three-story pavilion, not extremely gorgeous, but very elegant, on this street, it is also eye-catching, at the top of the pavilion, there is a plaque.

"Something interesting. Liu Chao touched his chin, looked at the book, and said.

"My lord, the seat is ready...... "The attendant reminded.

Liu Chao retracted his gaze and walked inside.

When you walk in, you will know that the layout here is three floors leading to the top, and there is a high platform on the first floor, which should be the place where the performance is performed.

The second and third floors, the middle and the first floor are connected, and only a corridor and room are surrounded by a high platform.

As soon as Liu Chao entered the first floor, the men in short costumes at the door and a few tables cast their eyes over.

Seeing that it was just a young man who came in, looking at the clothes, there was nothing special, and he quickly took his eyes back.

I'm afraid these people are the thugs hired in this building.

Most of the thugs hired in this place are local gangsters, local snakes, who give them enough money and good food and drink every day, so that they can sit here and help with business.

It's just that they just stay on the sidelines on weekdays, and when they encounter something, they will take action.

Liu Chao followed the stairs and went up to the second floor, and the entourage followed closely, protecting on the left and right, and the group went to a private room on the second floor and sat down, and there were already people coaxing downstairs at this time.

Looking at the high platform, there were a few people playing tricks and amusing them.

There are drinks and dishes here, so let the entourage call the guys and ask for two tables of wine and food, and the group is eating and drinking here.

It's said to be a cubicle, but it's just a layer of wooden planks.

The next door is loud and can be heard clearly.

This group of people didn't dare to talk nonsense, it was very quiet here, when Liu Chao just drank the second glass of wine, a few men next door, drank a little too much, from talking about trivial matters at home, talking about the matter of Luoyang.

The local people were always looking at Zheng Guogong, and what they said made the faces of the people around Liu Chao not look very good, and they were stopped by Liu Chao's gestures.

Liu Chao continued to drink with an expressionless face, listening to the discussion next door.

After a while, another artist came out to perform on the stage, and several people were somersaulting together, doing all kinds of juggling, which was much inferior to ventriloquism.

The people sitting below, watching, eating wine and food, talking and laughing.

"My lord, Luoyang City is talking about the envoys, which seems to be a bit inappropriate!"

"What is the identity of you and me, and you still want to influence the national government?" someone said scoldingly, it seems that he is also an official!

"I don't dare to be lowly, I am just thinking, this is all over the city, and it is not a matter. Immediately replied with a humble voice: "Is it a hello and forbidden to talk about this?"

"That's it, what you think, in fact, I'm also worried, go back this time, report what you see and hear together, you can't make the whole city noisy and talk about it like this!"

As they spoke, the voices of the tables around them grew louder.

At this time, the folk customs were not as rigorous as the Ming and Qing dynasties on the earth, and there were still some residual influences at this time, and they were not completely broken.

Although these are troubled times, many doctrines have spread widely.

Therefore, even in the countryside, there is no shortage of discussions about state affairs.

Here, this is a place where there are three religions and nine streams, and people who think differently have different reactions.

Although the "angel" arrived in Luoyang, ordinary people did not know the intention, but under the infiltration of some well-intentioned people, within a few days, the top and bottom of Luoyang City knew about it one after another.

Even the most ordinary people knew the meaning of the envoy, and the people of Luoyang talked about it.

“...... Although Luoyang is a big city and was originally the imperial capital, it is just a city and a state. It cannot be compared with the Dacheng Dynasty that pacified the southern counties. ”

"Think about it, where the Dacheng Dynasty was pacified in the past, which one didn't have tens of thousands of elite soldiers?

"Now it occupies half of Yanzhou, but half of Yanzhou has just been attacked, people's hearts are uncertain, and everything is waiting to be rebuilt, but it is a good thing not to throw silver into it, and you still expect this half of Yanzhou to resist foreign enemies?"

"Anyway, Zheng Guogong did not call the king and emperor, and the Son of Heaven has always treated those who submit to him preferentially, if it is lowered, this Zheng Guogong's hat may not only be kept, but also turned positive in the new dynasty, and we, the people, will also be exempted from the suffering of war, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?"

"That's right, that's exactly what it is!"

"This is reasonable...... some people listened and nodded yes, after all, it doesn't make much difference to them who is the emperor.

Before the words fell, some people immediately became a little anxious when they heard this: "Zheng Guogong has 100,000 troops, and he is looking at all directions, why did he surrender to the Southern Dynasty? Even if he can't fight, he may not necessarily return to the Southern Dynasty, isn't there still Hu people?"

As a result, as soon as the words came out, this person immediately regretted it, just because the eyes of the people around him immediately changed.

"After talking for a long time, it turned out to be a dog sent by the Hu people! A certain relative in Bingzhou, a dozen members of a family of more than a dozen died at the hands of the Hu people, could it be that you want to harm me and end up in this field?

When the people around saw it, they all relieved their hatred and laughed.

Some people even scolded: "According to what you said, if you descend to the Hu people, if you have surrendered, why not descend Dacheng? Emperor Dacheng is at least a Han Chinese!"

These reprimands, lively, all fell in the eyes of those who cared.

Liu Chao is determined in his heart, just looking at the heart of Luoyang, he knows the general trend, Luoyang is still the imperial capital of several dynasties.

Hearing this, he didn't listen anymore, Liu Chao regained his smile and shouted, "Man, check out." ”

When I went downstairs, I pushed forward the estimated time of the summons for a few more days.

Things are all over the city, it's impossible for Zheng Guogong to continue to pretend to be sick, right?

They have been in Luoyang for some time, and they have enough time to think about it, so presumably Zheng Guogong will have to make a choice.

Thinking of handing over the table and not responding, Liu Chao was not in a hurry, this situation was expected before coming, originally His Majesty accepted Liu Man, and he held the idea that those who have are happy and those who do not fight, and he did not have too much hope, but he just saluted first and then soldiers, blocked everyone's mouth, and also made more preparations for Dacheng.

Although the city of Luoyang is large, it is only a small land, how can it resist the attack of the army?

"My lord, do you want to go back directly, or?" Liu Chao got into the carriage and ordered, "Go back first." ”

The carriage on which he was riding returned the way he came.

When they came out of the Pearl Fang, they were performing ventriloquist inside, and one person was on the stage, first the sound of birds, followed by the roar of horses and tigers, and then the sound of thousands of troops and horses, coming from the stage, and the people below who had not been to the battlefield were frightened by this scene.

When the artist got off the stage, everyone cheered for a while.

"They went back. Someone whispered at a table in the corner.

"Go back, I can go back early today. The person sitting there sighed: "But someone continues to stare at it?"

"Two batches have been sent to watch, and nothing will go wrong. After a pause, he said: "These people are really hateful, discussing state affairs privately, do they want to ......?"

"Forget it, you've been busy for a while, sit down and have a few drinks, these have already been ordered, don't use them in vain!" This person waved his hand, saying that he should not be investigated, Zheng Guogong has not yet made a definition, why should he be a villain?

If Dacheng is lowered in the future, and now he catches these people who say good things about Dacheng, his face will be full of ashes.

Even if Zheng Guogong doesn't surrender, he can't be too conspicuous, and if he is absolutely out, who is it good for?

Only the young man in front of him didn't understand this, he was too impulsive.

"Master Xie. The young man who proposed it was a little disappointed when he heard this, so he had to sit down, and suddenly, bursts of singing lingered in the room, and the smell of tea and smoke mixed together, and it became a hazy one.
