Tang's dining table

Chapter 1275: In the midst of the storm, the seedlings sprouted

When Yun Chu arrived at the gate of the county government, he found that the people from the Hundred Cavalry Division had left, leaving only six black cannons with smoke coming out of the muzzles.

Yun Chu thought for a moment, and then told Lu Zhaolin and Wu Chengsi who came out with him: "Put the cannon in the front yard of the county government office, with the muzzle facing outward. If anyone breaks in rudely, fire at him."

Lu Zhaolin stuttered: "Fire him?"

Yun Chu roared: "Are they allowed to fire at me, but not at him?"

Seeing that the county lord was angry, Lu Zhaolin immediately ordered the yamen runners to drag the six heavy cannons back to the county government office. Seeing that Wu Chengsi had not left yet, he smiled awkwardly and said: "It's a big trouble."

Wu Chengsi looked at the six cannons and said dimly: "There are no shells... But it's very encouraging. Your Excellency is still one step ahead of us."

Perhaps because there were cannons in the county government office, the people who stayed in the county government office seemed to be much more relaxed. The children stopped crying, the women no longer frowned and cried secretly, and even the men's faces showed a bit more determination.

When there is no power to resist, everyone is just a lamb to be slaughtered. After having a little power to resist, the desperate people at least know that they are no longer lambs to be slaughtered, and at least they still have the ability to bite the enemy.

If you can't survive, then kill his mother. This is the general idea of ​​the people living in the Wannian County government office.

Wu Chengsi held his son tightly and was able to flexibly serve food to Yun Chu. At this moment, he was more like a virtuous woman than an able official.

To be honest, the biggest loss in this shelling incident was Wu Chengsi, the two brothers Wu Sansi, and no third one.

In addition to the child in his arms, Wu Chengsi's wife, eldest son, concubine and so on were all killed.

Wu Sansi's family was the only one who escaped.

As for the residence of Yong Wangxian and the residence of Princess Taiping, which were flattened by artillery fire, they looked miserable, but there was basically no loss of life. Those who died were not guards, servants, or eunuchs and palace maids.

Those wealthy families were also very smart when they were bombarded by artillery. When the gate was blocked, the important people had already escaped from the tunnel.

It was almost a basic operation for wealthy families to dig tunnels at home. Only the two outsiders, Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi, were not on guard against the frequent massacres in Chang'an, so they had no place to hide when the artillery bombarded.

Yun Chu asked Wu Chengsi to sit down and eat with him.

Wu Chengsi did not refuse. He sat down with the child in his arms, feeding the baby millet oil with a small spoon while talking to Yun Chu in a low voice.

"In two days, the cannon incident will be over, lord. Will there be any investigation afterwards?"

Yun Chu stopped the chopsticks in his hand and said, "Thunder and rain are all grace from the emperor."

Wu Chengsi stopped the spoon in his hand and said, "In other words, does the current emperor really regard himself as a god? If one person makes a mistake, he will punish the whole world?"

Yun Chu said, "There is a story in the newly published Buddhist scriptures. It says that the king of a small country was angry because of other things and overturned the offering table, causing the gods in the sky to not eat the offerings. Therefore, the gods will not rain on that small country. They also said that unless a small yellow dog can lick a mountain of flour as big as a mountain, an oil lamp can burn a thick iron lock, and a chicken can peck a mountain of rice as high as a mountain, it will rain on that small country.

So, emperors are all petty, especially when they have unlimited power. The means they punish people are no longer simple killings, but to demonstrate their authority as the main purpose.

This time, you brothers are actually two chess pieces used by others to deter the queen's ambition. If you survive, you survive. His Majesty's goal has been achieved. "

Wu Chengsi changed the position of the dishes for Yun Chu, sat down again and said: "Your Majesty is so patient this time, for the Iron City, right?"

Yun Chu nodded and said: "If iron farm tools are popularized, even if His Majesty brings disaster again, the people can resist for a while longer."

Wu Chengsi took a bite of the dish and said: "Yes, Kuafu chased the sun and Yugong moved the mountains. Although they are all acts against the Tiangang, they are also the most intense resistance that we mortals can think of."

Yun Chu smiled and said: "Since you can think of this step, it means that this death is not necessarily a disaster for you personally."

Wu Chengsi wiped the tears from his face and said: "My Majesty, I am extremely heartbroken."

Yun Chu looked at Wu Chengsi for a moment and said: "The rice soup is getting cold..."

The artillery finally stopped after raging in Chang'an for six days.

On the second day after the sound of artillery stopped, Yun Chu ordered that no firecrackers should be set off in Chang'an City... no more puppet shows, and even random drum beating was not allowed!

After the storm, although it cannot be said that the sky is clear after the rain, at least the evil spirits hiding in the dark can show their heads.

The evil spirits include but are not limited to Wen Huan, Li Chengxiu, Yao Chong, Zhong Kui...

Compared with them, the Wu brothers, Lu Zhaolin, and Yang Jiong were actually people that Yun Chu put on the table for the emperor to vent his anger or use as a substitute.

With the tireless efforts of Wen Huan, Li Chengxiu, Yao Chong, and Zhong Kui, Yun Chu finally completed the grand layout of Chang'an.

??????????.??????

The 481 li of Chang'an and the village chiefs are all controlled by the Yun, Wen, Di, and Li families. The nearly 1,400 treasuries in Chang'an are basically controlled by them. People from the four families came to serve, and even the tax collectors responsible for collecting taxes also came from the four families in Chang'an.

During a catastrophic disaster, it is difficult for people to pay attention to what the ants on the ground will look like. When the thunder clouds released by Li Zhi gradually disperse, people's focus is still on whether the thunder clouds will reunite. No People should pay attention to some new faces appearing in the yamen.

Yunchu allowed Chang'an and Wannian to have a large number of people who were not under his command in the two counties, and he would never allow those in positions of responsibility to disobey him when it was important.

After completely completing the layout, Yun Chu no longer looked down upon the new positions that appeared after the bombardment.

He honestly reported the vacancy in Chang'an to the emperor, and he was not prepared to place anyone there.

However, with his current status, even if he doesn't want it, the emperor will still leave a large number of positions for him in accordance with the principle of dividing the fruit and fruit, so as to appease his disturbed heart during this period.

The emperor has always had a principle - I can give it, but you can't steal it.

This applies especially to the Li and Tang royal families.

Therefore, when the emperor's secretary Yun Jin came to Li Zhi holding his father's memorial, he seemed particularly panicked.

Li Zhi glanced at Yun Jin and said, "Your father has always been a very unreasonable person. This time he behaved so humbly. Tell me, why?"

Yun Jin placed the memorial on the emperor's desk, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Your Majesty, please step aside."

Li Zhi glanced at Yun Jin who was sweating profusely and said, "It seems that the matter is serious."

As he spoke, he waved the eunuch Gong E beside him to retreat, leaving only the eunuch Pingchun. After everyone left and closed the door, Li Zhi leaned over and looked at Yun Jin and said, "Tell me, your father did it." Those things that cannot be tolerated by nature.”

Yun Jin wiped away the sweat and said: "When His Majesty was punishing those guys who were spying on the country's important weapons, in order to avoid suspicion, I deliberately reduced the number of guards around me, so that others took advantage of me while taking a bath."

Li Zhi said in surprise: "Beauty trap? However, this strategy should be of no use to your father, right?"

Yun Jin knelt on the ground and said: "The beauty trap is a joke to my father. The problem lies in the beauty who appears this time..."

A fire seemed to appear in Li Zhi's deep eyes. He looked at Yun Jin and said, "Is the beauty that old woman?"

Yun Jin said tremblingly: "It's Taiping. However, when my father saw her, he immediately wrapped her in a big towel. He also said that he had swaddled Li Si, swaddled Yun Jin, and swaddled Taiping. first."

When Li Zhi heard this, he immediately stood up, took off the jade belt from his waist and slapped Yun Jin all over his head and face. While being beaten, Yun Jin defended himself by saying, "My father is really unjust..."

Li Zhi slapped Yun Jin on the shoulder with his belt and roared: "Yunchu, a 250-year-old man, doesn't know that Taiping broke into his bathhouse? Even if there are no guards around, with his ability, he can't find Taiping hiding in the bathhouse?

This bastard just wants to see my jokes, I will let you see my jokes..."

Seeing Li Zhi's beating becoming more and more vigorous, Yun Jin raised his hand to resist and said: "My father only has the love and affection of his father for Taiping. Where does the love between men and women come from? Your Majesty knows clearly."

Li Zhi beat him more and more vigorously, and even felt that beating him with his belt was not enough to vent his anger, so he kicked him.

"How could I not know that this is the Queen's plan? I know that how could Yunchu, a local snake in Chang'an, not know that he could clearly avoid it, but he allowed Taiping to enter his bathhouse just to see my jokes and laugh at me? If the family is not strict, the children will not be educated.

I won't be able to vent my anger without beating you to death today. "

Yun Jin saw that the emperor knew everything and understood everything, so he stopped defending. Anyway, he wore soft armor under his official uniform and had soft armor on his arms. In addition, he was physically strong, so he could be beaten by the old and frail emperor. It’s okay to vent your anger a few times.

Therefore, he only protected his head and face with his hands and allowed the emperor to beat him violently.

Sure enough, after a while, the emperor couldn't hold on any longer, threw away his belt, panted and fell on the soft couch, letting the eunuch Pingchun hold his chest to calm his breath.

Seeing that the emperor was about to breathe to death, Yun Jin quickly said: "My father has no intention of laughing at your majesty."

Li Zhi gasped and said: "He...is not smiling on the surface, but in his heart...he is laughing so hard that he is almost...dying."

"My father doesn't dare."

"Don't you dare? He laughed at Princess Tang's promiscuity in front of me back then, and said that it was a pity that he had never seen Princess Tang in this life!"

When Yun Jin heard what the emperor said, she immediately covered her ears and said, "A son will not listen to his father's fault."

Li Zhi stood up panting and kicked Yun Jin again: "He even discussed my sexual relationship with the queen with others. This kind of thing is disrespectful and disrespectful. I will never forgive him.

Damn, bastard—

I will never spare him! "
