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 the goods needed by Xiqin, and a shipload of goods can be exchanged for half a shipload of silver.

Luoyang is rich and noble, 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 if it is a nine-grade petty official, it can be called, so it is actually not conspicuous, and Liu Chao's dress is relatively simple, there are many entourages with him, and his clothes have made some changes, so that people don't see that they are special.

On one of the richest 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 occasions for pleasure here.

In the final analysis, it is still a cheap job to engage in this kind of service, and no matter how ornate the decoration of the house is, it is not allowed to be opened in the area where the 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 smoothly, 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: "It's not gone." ”

Although he looks like a literati, in fact, Liu Chao has also practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he rode through, how could 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 thugs, local snakes, who have given 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, taking care of the left and right, and the group went to a private room on the second floor and sat down.

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, several men next door, drank a little too much, from talking about the trivial matters at home, talking about the matter of Luoyang.

The local people were all about 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 a faceless face, listening to the discussion next door.

After a while, another artist came out on the stage to perform, and several people were doing somersaults 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, this seems a bit inappropriate!"

"What are the identities of you and me, and you still want to influence the country?" someone said, 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, don't let the whole city be noisy and talking!"

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 all three religions and nine streams exist, and people who don't agree with each other will not respond to it.

Although the "angel" arrived in Luoyang, ordinary people actually didn't know the intention, but under the infiltration of some well-intentioned people's news, within a few days, the people up and down of Luoyang City knew about it one after another.

Even the most ordinary people knew the meaning of coming, and the people in Luoyang were talking 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, which of the places where the Dacheng Dynasty was pacified in the past 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?"

"Zheng Guogong has not been called a lonely widow, the Son of Heaven has always treated those who surrender 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 common people, are also free from the suffering of war, isn't it a matter of killing two birds with one stone?"

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

"This is reasonable...... some people listened to it, and said yes, in the end, who is the emperor does not make much difference to them.

As soon as the words fell, some people immediately became a little anxious when they heard this: "Zheng Guogong has 100,000 troops and looks at all directions, why did he surrender to the Southern Dynasty? Even if he doesn't fight, he doesn't have to submit to the Southern Dynasty, isn't there still a Hu people?"

As a result, as soon as the words came out, the man immediately regretted it, 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 was able to get an estimate of the time of the summons, and pushed forward a few more days.

Things are all over the city, Zheng Guogong can't 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 that there has been no response to the handing over the form, Liu Chao is actually not in a hurry, this situation has been 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 have the idea of fighting, without too much hope, just salute first and then soldiers, block everyone's mouth, and also make more preparations for Dacheng.

Although the city of Luoyang is large, it is only a square inch of land, how can it be attacked by a large army?

"My lord, do you want to go back directly, or?" Liu Chao got into the carriage and admonished: "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 ventriloquism, 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 never been to the battlefield were frightened by this pomp.

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 groups have been sent to watch, and there will be no mistakes. 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, and they won't disappear!" The man waved his hand, hinting that he should not be investigated, Zheng Guogong has not yet said in the lower realm, 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 must not be too conspicuous, and if he is absolutely defeated, who is it good for?

Only the young man in front of him didn't understand this, and he was so moved.

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