Chapter 396 [The emperor and the people fight]
A moment later, in front of the courtyard door.
"Can everyone please give way? Please give way, everyone."
Gu Tianya carried Li Mingzhu on his shoulders and squeezed forward among the crowd with a warm smile on his face. Unfortunately, there were too many people watching the excitement at the door, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't squeeze forward.
Even if you are not careful, you will be squeezed back immediately. The crowd of onlookers jostle each other, and Gu Tianya is so crowded that he staggers around carrying the little pearl.
Although Li Shimin next to him was physically strong, he could not use force to crowd out a group of common people, so he was forced to retreat. The angry emperor could only stare.
Suddenly the emperor had an idea and pushed a few people aside with a little force. Then he shouted loudly at the crowd in front and pointed at Gu Tianya, saying: "Everyone, everyone, please give way and let us go in first, okay?"
The two brothers had their children with them, so it was really inconvenient to squeeze in with everyone."
Some people in front turned around, glared at the emperor, and said: "What are you shouting for? How dare you bring your children to watch the fun? If you two brothers really care about your children, you will come to a place like this and exert yourself."
Do you want to push forward? Stop beeping and stand behind me."
Some people were even more aggressive and scolded Li Shimin directly, saying: "Look, you are also a tall and powerful man. How can you be so lazy? Everyone is watching the excitement based on their ability. Whoever has the strength will win."
Just push forward, you guys are better, using the child as an excuse, not willing to exert any strength, just want everyone to give in to you... Are you embarrassed? Are you ashamed? I really see you so lazy
You get angry when you are a bastard. I guess you are also a sneaky bastard when you work at work."
Li Shimin stood stunned on the spot at first, and then his face became angry.
It happened that at this time, I heard another commoner sarcastically say: "In our Youzhou territory, the most despised thing is lazy people. They are not afraid of poverty or hardship. As long as they are willing to work hard, they can always live a better life. But take a look.
You actually want to cheat and show off even while watching the fun, how can you be worthy of your family, and how can you earn enough money to feed your children..."
The commoner paused for a moment while talking, looked at Li Mingzhu who was being carried on Gu Tianya's shoulders, and sighed: "This girl is so delicate, but it's a pity that she will have to endure a hard life."
Li Shimin was furious and glared: "Tell me...tell me clearly, what does it mean that this girl has a hard life?"
The common people were even angrier than he was, and scolded him: "You are so lazy, and your brother is probably not much better. If this child is born in your family, won't he have a hard life?"
Li Shimin's face turned red with anger, and he almost gritted his teeth and said: "Which of your eyes saw that I am lazy? Is it just because I shouted and asked everyone to give in?"
Unexpectedly, the common man nodded abruptly and said without hesitation: "That's right, it's because of the voice you shouted just now. A tall and powerful man like you, watching the excitement, didn't even have the strength to push forward.
What if this isn't laziness? Don't tell me it's because you can't bear to squeeze in with us..."
Li Shimin was so angry that he yelled: "I... really can't bear to squeeze in with you. Otherwise, you would have been pushed around by me."
I bother!
The common people sprayed saliva all over the emperor's face.
Li Shimin was stunned and stood frozen on the spot. After a long time, the emperor finally reacted and shouted: "You dare to spit at me?"
The common people looked up to the sky and rolled their eyes, humming: "How new, who do you think you are?"
Li Shimin suddenly rolled up his sleeves and spat out with a loud sound. He also sprayed the other person's head and face, and then laughed loudly...
No one could believe that a majestic emperor actually quarreled with the people, and the quarrel was very fierce. It seemed that he could not get out of this tone unless he won the quarrel.
At this time, not far away from the official road, a group of ministers were hiding under a tree and were stunned. They looked at each other, and they all saw the incredulity in each other's eyes.
A long time passed before I heard a minister stammering, trying hard to find an explanation: "The so-called emperor is the leader of the people. The emperor should pay attention to majesty, but he will not be majestic to the people. The emperor starts from
The people should be integrated into the people. They can quarrel and curse. This is a harmonious thing. Only a virtuous emperor can do this. It is rumored that in ancient times, this is what the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors did..."
A dignified and important official in the court, his words were completely inconsistent with the beginning and the end. Obviously, he really couldn't find any good explanation, so he could only talk nonsense against his will.
At this time, Changsun Wuji suddenly stood up and said with a serious face: "It won't work like this all the time. Your Majesty and Gu Tianya still have to save their face. If you keep yelling at the people, it will be inappropriate after all. Let's
Go ahead and be a bad guy, I will directly reveal my identity and scare the people away."
The important ministers present were slightly startled, and subconsciously said: "There are no laws in Youzhou that do not allow people to watch the excitement. What excuse do you use to drive away those ignorant people?"
Changsun Wuji snorted coldly and said: "I just said that there are confidential government affairs to be handled. Can I use this excuse to scare away the people?"
After he finished speaking, he directly raised his feet and hurried towards the courtyard over there. Unexpectedly, before he had taken a few steps, someone suddenly caught up with him behind him. He stretched out his hand and grabbed his collar and said in a deep voice: "Shang Shu of the Ministry of Finance"
, you’d better not go.”
Changsun Wuji turned his head in shock and found that the person pursuing him was Xu Shiji.
Xu Shiji looked solemn and said to him again in a deep voice: "Don't you notice? Your Majesty seems to be enjoying this very much. Otherwise, with his dignity as an emperor, he would not quarrel with a group of common people."
Xu Shiji paused as he spoke, glanced over there, and suddenly sighed softly, and then said with emotion: "For your Majesty, this is a kind of fun. If this matter is disturbed by us,
It will definitely make His Majesty unhappy."
At this time, Fang Xuanling also came over, nodded and said: "There is also Gu Tianya, he also enjoys this thing. You see, he is standing aside with great interest, seeing His Majesty quarreling with the people, but he does not help, but
His face was full of smiles and he looked very happy... He and His Majesty are really tired these days and need to find something to relax their minds, so let's try not to disturb them."
Changsun Wuji actually understood this kind of thinking better than them, but he still frowned and snorted coldly, saying: "The majesty of the royal family cannot be violated. As ministers, should we just hide and watch?
?You should have heard the saying that His Majesty's majesty has been compromised, and that the king has humiliated his ministers to death."
Unexpectedly, Fang Xuanling chuckled and said with a leisurely expression: "Who said that His Majesty's majesty has been compromised? Don't you think the argument has been won?"
Changsun Wuji was startled and subconsciously turned his head to look over there.
It was then shockingly discovered that Li Shimin didn't just win the quarrel.
At this time, the emperor rolled up his sleeves and directly pushed the commoner to the ground. He kept laughing and looked extremely proud and cheerful.
While the emperor was laughing, he kept asking the common man, "Are you convinced? Do you dare to talk back? You actually spit on my face. I will teach you how to improve your memory today."
Next to him, Gu Tianya laughed so hard that Li Mingzhu had already been put down on his shoulders. The little girl stood on the ground and clapped her hands excitedly, constantly cheering for Li Shimin. She giggled and said: "Second uncle is mighty, second uncle is amazing, there were a few more just now.
The common people have also joined in the quarrel. Second Uncle, please hurry up and knock them to the ground..."
Put it on the ground?
No matter how you hear this word, it smells like a bandit.
The ministers looked strange and looked at each other. Changsun Wuji's face twitched and he said with great displeasure: "The little princess of the Yinwang family and the third-generation granddaughter of the Li family, actually, actually..."
Fang Xuanling hurriedly tried to persuade him, saying: "This is not a child who has been taught bad things, but an innocent child's true feelings. Don't pay attention to it, Minister of the Ministry of Finance. Look at how happy your Majesty and Lord Gu are laughing."
Changsun Wuji took a deep breath and said nothing with a cold face.
…
The little girl was cheering, Gu Tianya was laughing, and Li Shimin was sitting on the common man with one hand on his hip, with a proud look on his face.
A strange quarrel turned into a fight between the emperor and the people. However, although it was a fight, the emperor did not act cruelly...
Li Shimin only knocked the common people to the ground, and did not cause any harm to the common people at all.
Due to the fight between the emperor and the common people, the courtyard responsible for the 'initial registration' became even more lively, so more people crowded in and surrounded the courtyard on three floors inside and three outside.
The ministers reacted very quickly this time and ran to the door before the newly arrived people. They quietly hid among the crowd and silently followed the progress of the situation.
At this time, the noise at the door finally attracted the people inside.
I saw three or four clerks trying to squeeze from the courtyard to the door. They were sweating profusely and shouted loudly at everyone present, threatening: "Don't make noise, stop making noise. If anyone dares to cause trouble again, don't blame us."
Inform Marquis Wu, who is patrolling the streets, to take you to prison and beat each of you with a stick every day to make your skin and flesh bruise..."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The people laughed.
They are not afraid of this kind of intimidation at all.
An old man stood proudly at the door, laughing at a few clerks and saying: "Baby, who do you want to scare by saying this? The patrolling Wuhou is dedicated to protecting the people. We in Youzhou have always
There is no arrest of people."
The few clerks looked helpless, knowing that such threats were indeed ineffective, but they still persisted, trying to look majestic and said: "If we didn't arrest them before, it doesn't mean we won't arrest them this time. We are responsible for the initial registration here."
We are in the yamen where we serve, and you who make noise and cause trouble in front of the yamen must be punished."
The common people were still laughing and joking.
The ministers in the crowd witnessed this scene and suddenly glanced at each other quietly. Fang Xuanling looked thoughtful and said in a deep voice: "We must pay attention to this matter and find an opportunity to mention it to Lord Gu. Treat him kindly.
Although it is a good thing for the people, it is not appropriate if it turns into indulgence."
Changsun Wuji snorted coldly and said, "He will suffer a big loss one day."
This time, no one refuted, but nodded with the same feeling. Even the officials of Youyun's line also frowned at this time. Everyone could see that the people of Youzhou did not respect the government enough.
.
Once people lack reverence, their minds will lose some restraint, which is an extremely taboo and hidden danger for the governance of folk customs.
Some ministers quietly looked at Gu Tianya and found that Gu Tianya seemed to be aware of this problem. He frowned slightly, obviously deep in thought.
The ministers suddenly felt relieved and felt a big stone falling. Fang Xuanling lowered his voice and said slowly: "Maybe we don't need to remind you afterwards. Lord Gu has already noticed this hidden danger."
The ministers nodded in unison.
…
At this moment, I suddenly heard a roar in the courtyard, and I heard someone shouting loudly: "Damn it, Fatty He, you don't give me any face at all? I, Tan Shijiu, put my words here today, I
We insist on registering these military dependents as destitute. If you don't agree, don't blame me for being violent... Do you see, this is my broken leg. It was broken by the lady at first, and then by
The fairy picked it up."
Immediately afterwards, another person was heard yelling and yelling: "Cai, don't scare people with your broken leg. That's not military merit, and it's not worthy of admiration. Don't think you are a descendant of the Youyun Gu family.
, why don’t I just urinate in your pot...to scare me? If you have the nerve, try to continue scaring me."
This roaring guy was obviously a stubborn person, and he continued to roar: "The battlefield in Liaodong is such a dangerous place, and the soldiers of Goguryeo are so cruel and cruel, but I, Mr. He, didn't even blink an eyelid. I just held a knife and fought with my life against them."
Damn it, that big battle lasted for three days and three nights, brother, the battle function I set up scared you to death...scared me? Who do you think you are?"
