Jun Jiuling - Chapter 604
[Chapter 38]
Remember [ ] in a second to provide you with wonderful novel reading.
The court naturally knew about the fact that Duke Cheng Guo led his army into Yizhou.
This kind of disobedience to the Holy Order, Huang Cheng, would never be concealed for Duke Cheng, and he reported it to the emperor, and the golden messenger who negotiated peace followed suit.
There was no news about Duke Cheng first, and then there was news that the entire army was wiped out in battle.
National uproar.
Although Duke Cheng has not been to Beijing for many years, the people are not unfamiliar with him. After all, he first drove out the golden thieves to relieve the danger of the people in the north, and he was stationed at the border to save everyone from the suffering of the golden thieves.
Although I have become accustomed to peace and stability in the past ten years, sometimes I feel that Duke Cheng has been forgotten, but when I heard that Duke Cheng died in battle, everyone panicked.
What about the border?
Negotiated not to fight.
Not to fight?
How can the golden man be trusted.
Twenty years ago, they also negotiated peace. Thirty years ago, they were still vassals of Daqi. As a result, they destroyed Daqi, swept the northern land, and plundered the emperor of Zhou.
How can these barbarians be trusted?
What’s more, the three counties were ceded, and the Jinren were closer to the mainland. In the past, it was difficult to cross the big rivers and borders, but now they are almost close to each other. It is not difficult to step in and reach the capital.
The grief for Duke Cheng’s death and the anxiety about the future made everyone who heard the news cry.
When adults cry, children cry too. For a time, the world is almost in grief.
This scene surprised the court.
I didn’t expect that the news of Cheng Guogong’s death would cause such a big shock.
There were even some rumors that Duke Cheng was killed by the court because he wanted to negotiate peace, and in order to please the Jin people, he deliberately sent Duke Cheng to die.
Of course, there were different opinions soon, saying that Duke Cheng was so happy that he refused to return, and as a result, he killed the elite soldiers and horses. Some people even said that Duke Cheng did not die, but surrendered to the enemy.
This statement quickly swept the entire capital, and the uproar overshadowed the previous rumors.
“Your Majesty asks the troops to retreat again,
only Duke Cheng will not retreat, why?”
a thin man in the tea shop in Linhe said with spit in his mouth when the spring was bright in March.
People in this circle, sitting or standing, have complex expressions.
“King Cheng’s heart is in the North…” a man replied.
Before he could answer, he was slapped by the thin man.
“What? It’s for himself. After retreating from the army and negotiating peace, how can he still show his prestige in the North?” He snorted, “Let me tell you, the person who likes to fight the most in this world is the Cheng Guogong, he is not willing to negotiate peace, otherwise, what reason would he have to show off his power in the North?”
It seemed to be the same reason, and there were low voices of discussion around.
Chen Qi looked at the river, reached out and hugged his arms.
“It’s so cold,” he said.
Shopkeeper Liu opposite also had a complicated expression.
“Yeah, it’s so cold.” He said, “It’s already March, why is it still chilling in the heart.” The
man on the side saw that the people around him had listened, with a triumphant expression, he lifted his foot and stepped on the bench. superior.
“So, Duke Cheng must have gone to Yizhou on purpose to disrupt this peace…” he said loudly.
But as soon as the words came out, someone shouted outside, and then something smashed over.
The man only felt a stench on his face, almost retching, and then it was excruciating pain.
He screamed and stepped back. He was about to lean against a table, but suddenly he tripped over something under his feet, and he fell down.
The people around were in an uproar.
“What’s wrong? What’s wrong?” Chen Qi jumped up to help the man.
The man got up and kicked away the dirty shoes that had hit his face.
“Thank you little brother.” He said gratefully, and then looked out angrily
, “Who?”
There is only one shoe left.
beggar?
Beggars are not begging now, do they want to rob?
The beggar who was cringing and begging for food in the capital was angry, even fierce.
“What?” The man walked over angrily.
“You, why are you scolding you as a countryman!” the beggar at the head shouted.
The tone was stiff and astringent, with a distinct northern accent.
The man snorted.
“The Duke of Cheng will bring disaster to the country and bring disaster to the people…” he said.
This time, before he finished speaking, the beggars all shouted.
“Don’t be disrespectful to Duke Cheng.”
Not only did he shout, but this time people rushed up and hit the man in the face.
The man was thrown to the ground by surprise.
Shouting and shouting, the tea shop was in chaos.
“Don’t hit people, don’t hit people, and have something to say.” Chen Qi shouted and jumped left and right in the field, as if he was about to fight, but he inadvertently pushed away the people around him who were trying to stop him.
This is the capital after all, and the situation in the north is unstable. The soldiers and horses of the five cities stepped up their patrols and rushed over quickly to restrain the two sides.
The man was beaten up by several beggars, and his face was scratched a few times. While wiping his nosebleed, he complained angrily that he wanted to be arrested.
When a beggar beats a person, of course, the beggar must be caught, and the soldiers of the Wucheng Bingma Division will come forward.
“Why beat people? Beggars beat people at will.” Chen Qi shouted from the side, “If you don’t make it clear, the beggars in the city will be driven out.”
“Yes, make it clear why you beat people.” A voice echoed after him. .
That’s true. Now there are more and more beggars and refugees in the capital, and everyone will be affected in case of trouble.
So more voices sounded.
This shout stopped the soldiers’ movements, and the beggars spoke with a bit of grievance and anger.
“Because he scolded Cheng Guogong.” A man said, his eyes were red, his anger still lingering, “If it weren’t for Cheng Guogong, we wouldn’t even be able to be beggars in the capital, we would have starved to death and been trapped in the north, you But you are talking nonsense when you say that the prince of the state will bring disaster to the country and the people.”
Is it because of this?
The people present were stunned, these beggars actually violently hurt people because someone spoke ill of Cheng Guogong.
Is this stupid or is it a deep respect for Duke Chengguo?
“You’re just talking nonsense, I’ll scold Chengguo for your business.” The man jumped his feet.
“Of course it’s none of our business.” The
beggars shouted together, looking sad and angry.
“You’re not from the North, why would you say that Duke Cheng is not good.”
“We are from the North, who knows how we lived?”
“If Duke Cheng hadn’t protected us, we would have died long ago. Under the sword of the golden soldier, he stopped the golden thief
to
protect the people, but you said that he was embezzling power and merit.
Jin Bing did not hesitate to take risks with his own body. The princess of Chengguo and the prince were cooking porridge along the way in the north. We were not allowed to be shut out of the door, saying that he was showing his prestige. Why don’t you show it? See how easy it is.”
“In order to allow the people of the three counties to evacuate safely, Duke Cheng sent the prince and his wife to help with soldiers and horses. You said that he likes to fight, can he do it without fighting? If we don’t fight, we will die.” The
beggar While they were talking, several women started to cry.
“You have a good life, and it’s easy. It’s too bullying to slander people like this.” An old beggar said with grief and anger.
These beggars are all fugitives from the North, and what they said about the North and Cheng Guogong was indeed convincing.
This made the surroundings fall silent for a while.
Yes, Cheng Guogong has done so many things, and it is a bit bullying to be speculated like this.
Seeing that the situation was not right, the man was a little embarrassed.
“Don’t listen to their nonsense.” He said, looking at the soldiers, “Quickly arrest people.”
Several soldiers gave him a cold look.
“Don’t make trouble in the street.” The leader said, “If you commit another crime, you will be put in jail.”
He looked at the beggars.
“Hurry up.”
The beggars were stunned for a while. Although they were in a moment of righteous indignation, they were still scared. They didn’t expect that the officers and soldiers would not arrest them, so they hurriedly helped the old and the young to walk away.
The man was stunned.
what does it mean?
Who is this warning to?
How to let people go.
“Hey you guys..” He hurriedly shouted to catch up, and someone rushed into him behind.
The man was caught off guard and fell forward, holding his legs on the corner of the table, so much pain that he couldn’t even bother to speak and question.
“Borrowed, borrowed.” Chen Qi shouted and hurried out, “It’s too late.”
Shopkeeper Liu held back a smile and followed.
The soldiers looked at the people in the tea shop with a cold face.
“It’s all gone.” The leader said, “It’s not allowed to spread rumors and confuse the people.”
This crime was serious, and the people in the tea shop were startled, and all the birds and beasts scattered.
In a blink of an eye, only the man was left holding his feet in the tea shop with a nosebleed and swollen one eye, cursing in anger and embarrassment.
For the cursing of the man behind him, Chen Qi and Shopkeeper Liu looked back and smiled at each other.
They looked at the few beggars slowly walking away on the street, and sighed lightly at the same time.
“After all, it’s spring, and it won’t always be so cold,” Liu said.
“What did Duke Cheng do, people in the capital can’t see it, but people in the north can see it.” Chen Qi said, “There is justice in heaven and earth.” When
his words fell, the hoofs of horses were heard in the street. There was a commotion.
But everyone is familiar with it, there are many urgent letters in this capital.
Chen Qi and Shopkeeper Liu avoided the road and looked back to see a soldier galloping.
But unlike before, this soldier raised the silk flag that was originally behind him in his hand.
“Urgent report.” He shouted loudly, his voice excited, “Gong Guogong Yizhou led the army back.”
Duke Chengguo!
This shout made the street quiet for a while, and then there was a bang.
Become a prince!
Duke Cheng is not dead!
Chen Qi held his hands, looking a little surprised.
“I just said it casually, this God is really fair,” he said.
