Chapter 254, Yu Cun's Responsibility(1/2)
At this time, all the people who appeared in Guangyang City were dignitaries. Yu Wushang was young and a member of the Yu family. Only Lei Qi's origin was extremely strange. He suddenly appeared in troubled times and worked to save Guangyang City.
It’s a lot of effort, and combined with Sipinghou’s words, it makes people think more about it.
Yu Cun and others were obedient and understood what was going on. No one asked if Marquis Siping knew Lei Qi. At the moment, whether Marquis Siping knew him was of little significance. What mattered was Lei Qi's identity.
Just when everyone was debating whether to force Lei Qi to reveal his identity, there was a wave of noise outside the high platform, and the Hou Ye men rushed up to the stage to reply.
"The general trapped outside Guangyang City wants to see Master Yu."
"The generals under Prince Shunxing want to see Master Yu."
"The generals under the command of King Qingchang want to see Master Yu."
Yu Cun woke up from his thoughts and said decisively: "Invite them over." He stood up, and Yu Wuluo smiled and followed him, escorting his grandfather to the entrance of the high platform.
Zhao Youlin followed and listened to Yu Cun's explanation: "Xiao Wu, your sword is quite powerful, but you can't use it randomly."
"That's what my grandfather said."
Taipinghou seized this opportunity and called Sipinghou: "Is Lei Qi from Prince Jing's palace?"
Pingjiang Hou and others are all here, behind Yu Cun, raising their eyes to look over.
Sipinghou spread his hands: "How funny! I just proposed that the new emperor should be of good moral character, and Lei Qi happens to have the surname of Guo, so should I recognize him?"
Pingjiang Marquis said: "You two were talking behind my back just now. When I turned around, I saw that you seemed to know each other. What is his identity?"
"This is not the night when I joined forces with you. He and Yu Wu also broke into the camp. I said something to them both. If you don't believe me, just ask Yu Xiaowu." Siping Hou pushed him cleanly.
In turn, I said to the princes: "Isn't my proposal wrong? If you want to be the emperor, you should all rely on your own abilities. I agree. It's just that you don't have the slightest bit of character or merit. Let me admit it, but I won't accept it."
Taiping Hou and Xuchang Hou said: "Don't talk like that, we are just asking a question."
Look, it doesn't really matter whether Marquis Siping knows Lei Qi, only who Lei Qi is is important.
But who is he?
I just asked, but he didn't necessarily answer.
If he is willing to reveal his identity, there will be many opportunities to reveal his identity after meeting.
You must know that there are more than a hundred people in the country who share the throne. Lei Qi is not a member of the Xuchanghou clan and has nothing to do with the Taipinghou Mansion. It cannot be ruled out that he is a clansman of other princes. For example, everyone knows that Prince Tieyi is in trouble, but who can guarantee that Tieyi
The prince has no descendants, but at least Yu Wuluo Lei Fengqi knows about Tie Wa's existence.
The officials in charge of registering royal children may not know.
With Prince Shunxing and Prince Qingchang brutally seeking to ascend the throne, it is normal for Lei Qi to appear quietly.
Everyone stopped talking and walked a few steps to follow Yu Cun.
The first team of horses with about five or six people came, and some people cheered with tears in their eyes: "Master, it's really you." After that, more and more people came.
Yu Cun called out some people's names cordially and waved to those who couldn't name them. At this point, he made up his mind to control the two princes and prevent them from harming more innocent people.
Looking at the tearful eyes in the audience, Yu Cun said loudly: "When the late emperor died, even if there was no edict, he would nominate a new emperor and take charge of the city by himself. This is nonsense."
When he said this, he waited a moment to give the excited people time to calm down. Before their fears came out, Yu Cun said again: "However, there is no peace in a country without a king, so some people follow the wrong people and use the wrong troops. I
I promise here that only the chief culprits, these two people, will be punished!"
He turned around, stretched out his arms, and stretched out his fingers.
Lei Fengqi was always calm. When Yu Cun and others walked towards the stage, he called Taiping and Gaoshan and stayed where he was to continue to guard the two princes.
Seeing Yu Cun pointing over, there was no need for Lei Fengqi to give orders. Gao Shan and Taiping each pushed a chair, a new high platform was erected, the wooden slats were flattened, and the two princes appeared under Yu Cun's fingers as if skating.
The prince and his soldiers looked at each other in disbelief. Prince Qingchang thought this was a great insult and stood up angrily. Just as he was about to object, Yu Wuluo slapped him with his scabbard. Prince Qingchang covered his neck and said honestly
Sit down again.
Gao Shan and Taiping scolded Prince Shunxing: "Sit still."
Prince Shunxing did not have to stand up and continued to sit awkwardly.
When thunder and wind rise, it makes you laugh and cry.
"Master Yu, to be honest, we all came here to obey the military orders. If we don't obey the military orders, we will have our heads chopped off. Now you say that you will only punish the first culprits. We believe you, but we cannot believe the new emperor in the future. Will he also agree to punish only the first culprits?"
?”
Someone shouted.
Yu Cun thought about this question, and the answer came immediately: "Then let's jointly elect a new emperor, okay?"
The words of Marquis Siping apply here, and Yu Cun actually agrees with Marquis Siping: "The new emperor, in this world that may not be peaceful at any time, should have merit, and in the years after he ascends the throne, he should love the people like a son. Moreover,
Don’t break your promise. Okay?”
"Okay..." There was a response that seemed to be all over the place. After hearing it, people in the distance started shouting. This voice lasted for half an hour.
It is estimated that hundreds or dozens of miles occupied by Guangyang City are shouting.
In this little half hour, Yu Cun said a few words to several princes: "That's it, let's look for the edict first, but from my point of view, there is a high probability that there is no edict, or it has been destroyed. Then press
It's okay as Marquis Siping said, but there's one more thing to add. If someone with ulterior motives appears in this matter to take credit, I can't tolerate him either."
When he said this, he didn't even look at Lei Fengqi.
Marquis Siping smiled confidently. The third child's appearance in this matter was definitely not for ulterior motives. This matter will be explained later. His proposal was approved by everyone, and his trip was worthwhile.
In the second half of the day, Yu Cun and others were busy. They decided to move the people around the city where the palace of the two princes was located, ensuring that there would be no human habitation for 500 miles around the royal city.
Yu Cunfa said harshly: "Even if I beg other cities one by one to take in these people, allocate them fields, and allow them to open up wasteland, I will not leave any room for ambitious people to raise troops."
What about the cities five hundred miles around the royal city?
Yu Cun waved his hand: "Imitate Pingjiang Hou's approach and burn it, leaving no fortifications for ambitious people." He said bitterly: "I will bear this responsibility. As long as there is peace in front of me, I must also deter other people who have not yet revealed their ambitions."
If anyone dares to stir up troops and disturb Jingning again, we will treat him like this and leave him an isolated city for his family to live in. If they are short of food, they will be given until the new emperor ascends the throne and they will be dealt with."
"Except for the two princes, the soldiers and horses originally in the royal city can be kept. The rest of the soldiers and horses are scattered to various military camps in the imperial court. They have many soldiers and horses, and they have more than 200,000 to be divided. I will handle this matter."
He nodded to the princes and said, "Except for you, I will take some to keep, and I will write to the commanders of the provinces to pick up the rest."
Zhao Youlin was sitting next to this table. Seeing Yu Cun's drastic handling, he was impressed that he was impeccable for the first time in decades.
"Sure enough, I'm not as good as him, haha." Zhao Youlin muttered to himself.
That night, most of the generals in the military camps of the imperial court and officials from nearby cities who were besieged by the two princes escaped from their traps and came to see him.
Yu Xinbo knew that his father had arrived, so instead of coming over in a hurry, he wrote a letter stating that he was sending the people who had been sheltered in Dongliang City home and would come back in a few days.
Yu Cun was busy until late at night. He agreed with Master Chen to invite him to stay in the Yamen. Master Chen, who had been accompanying the teacher, led the way. Yu Cun entered Guangyang City in a carriage.
The streets were brightly lit, it was already past bedtime, but the shops were open, and people were on the streets holding incense cases: "Master Yu is here."
"Thank you Master Yu for saving us."
"This is August, and the fields outside the city can still catch up with autumn planting."
"Master Yu, you are a great good man."
Yu Cun's face was full of fatigue, but Jean opened the car curtains and worked hard to socialize. He talked all the way to the Yamen. When he saw a pile of eggs and other nourishing things, Mrs. Chen came out to pay homage to the teacher and said with a smile: "These are all
It was sent by people from all over the city, and I said the teacher would not accept it, but they just put it down and left."
Yu Cun was really tired, so he forced a smile and was not in the mood to reply. Master Chen saw this and hurriedly dismounted and led the carriage to the door of the guest room. Yu Wuluo walked out to catch his grandfather. Master Chen was also tired, but he trotted to
In the kitchen, see if the soup for the teacher is ready, and call your wife to bring it with you.
When Yu Cun was eating, he couldn't open his eyes, so Yu Wuluo didn't bother him and went to sleep next door.
After a good night's sleep, the next day they found out that Yu Cun was going to Zhao's house. Zhao Youlin invited several marquises and some generals at the same time. No matter how busy Yu Cun was, he stopped and asked people to take out the gifts he had brought, and took Yu Wuluo with him.
Get in the car.
Yu Wuluo looked at the gift list.
Scanning the rows of jewelry, Yu Wu laughed loudly: "Grandpa, is this a betrothal gift list?"
When she gets married, Yu Wuluo is bound to marry into a high-ranking family, and she will definitely take charge of all or part of the housework of her husband's family. In addition to studying and practicing martial arts, she also learns various household chores.
This gift list could not have come from my grandfather's flattery to the Zhao family, as it would be too generous.
After hearing this, Yu Cun also laughed. He smiled, looked at his granddaughter, and couldn't control himself.
Yu Wuluo said coquettishly: "Grandpa, I have a joke to tell."
"Yes." Yu Cun suppressed his laughter: "Xiao Wu, it's your joke.
"Yu Wu has a lot of jokes in the world." Yu Wuluo also laughed.
After hearing this, Yu Cun laughed again. It took a while before he could barely speak: "You, Xiaowu, you,"
Yu Wuluo opened his eyes wide.
"Hahaha," Yu Cun laughed a few more times: "Zhao Youlin's granddaughter Tinglan sneaked out of the house and followed Xinxiu, and is now in our house."
"Tinglan."
Yu Wuluo didn't react too much. Among the Zhao siblings, she was more familiar with Zhao Tingxiao, so she wanted to forget Tinglan.
Blinking and thinking about it, she turned out to be Zhao Tingxiao's sister.
