Chapter 267 Public opinion
In the back garden of Tianshi Mansion, under the starlight, Lv Hua slowly shook the folding fan and listened to the people in black standing beside him whisper. After the report, the man in black reported that Lv Hua raised his fingers and quietly retreated two steps quietly and disappeared into the darkness. Lv Hua smiled and looked up at the twinkling starry sky for a long time. He slowly returned to the study and called the confidant to come in and ordered, "Sent a message to your home, Huainan Road. Don't come forward with this cup of soup." The stewant answered and looked up at Lv Hua, looking like he wanted to stop talking. Lv Hua turned his head and explained in a very good mood, "We are partners with the fifth master. Now the most important thing is to let the fifth master see that our Lv family is the best partner she can find. That's enough." The steward looked at Lv Hua in surprise and asked in a low voice, "I value that so much..."
"Well," Lv Hua sighed with emotion and whispered, "My grandfather said that there is a kind of person in the world who is as intelligent as a demon. It's true!" The stewor blinked his eyes, and Lu Hua waved his hand with a smile and said, "Go back quickly. Also, you must be decent to pick the gift of Second Master Wei's marriage." The stewor hurriedly agreed, stood and wrote a secret letter, showed it to Lu Hua, sealed it and sent it out. Lv Hua went out of the study and walked around the garden before going back to rest.
However, a day later, Wu Chengshan's death and details were sent to Li Xiaoyao. Li Xiaoyao looked at it with a sigh. Su Zicheng raised his eyebrows and looked at her with interest. Li Xiaoyao looked at it and handed it to Su Zicheng. Su Zicheng took a glance, put it on the table casually, looked at Li Xiaoyao and asked, "What are you going to do? ?"
"Let the officials and people of Huainan Road know about this first. Tomorrow morning, find a suitable place outside the west gate and set up a altar. The prince will go and give incense to Mr. Wu."
"The right place? It can't be anywhere!" Su Zicheng nodded first and asked with a smile. Li Xiaoyao looked at him, pursed his mouth and said with a smile, "We have to find a place that doesn't get in the way. In the future, there will be more people to sacrifice, and it's really be convenient to set up an ancestral hall or something. After the prince sacrifices, he will put it there. The officials, scholars and people of Chuzhou Prefecture and Huainan Road will go to sacrifice." Su Zicheng shook off the folding fan and laughed: "That's a good idea! He killed someone. Let's build a monument. That's a good idea!"
Around the evening, the tragic death of Wu Chengshan spread in the corner of Chuzhou. This began with Wu Chengshan's self-certration. All kinds of tragic events were detailed. As for why Wu Chengshan committed suicide in front of General Qin, the original source of the rumor was not mentioned, but this did not affect the integrity of the matter at all. Sex, everyone consciously completes the reasons for Wu Chengshan's self-certness, which are more and more bizarre.
The next morning, an exquisite sacrificial shed was set up outside the West Gate. Su Zicheng and Li Xiaoyao, dressed in plain clothes, took Dongping and other servants, rode through the city and went to the sacrificial shed to worship respectfully. Zhao Hongzhi and the officials who came from Beiping went to sacrifice in turn. Zhao Hongzhi also read a sacrificial article and burned it with tears. Later, the little officials in the Chuzhou government office cried loudly and went up to offer sacrifices. Several bold people followed took a few incense from the high piles of incense piles on the long table next to them, went in and kowtowed to worship. The people behind followed learned from the same. On this day, the people of sacrifices were endlessly and sacrificed. The shed was full of couplets and piles of paper money, and the whole west gate was as lively as a temple fair.
Wu Chengshan proved that the tragic death spread extremely slowly in the direction of Peiping, but it spread all over Yangzhou like the wind, then across Yangzhou and then to Lugang, Runzhou and other places.
In Chuzhou in the evening, the hot construction site quieted during the day, and the sacrificial shed outside the west gate also quieted. Li Xiaoyao and Su Zicheng came down from the south wall facing Yangzhou and walked back slowly while whispering: "••••• Yangzhou, do you have any plans?" Li Xiaoyao looked at Su Zicheng and asked. Su Zicheng nodded behind his back: "Added with Wu Chengshan's affairs, Yangzhou has been unstable recently. It's time. In a few days, it will be the beginning of June." Li Xiaoyao said gently 'um' and slowly calculated the manpower in his hand and those messy things.
Returning to the house for dinner, Su Zicheng took Li Xiaoyao to the next council chamber and ordered Nanning to send another five-headed lampstand in. He pulled Li Xiaoyao to the map of Huainan Road with the whole wall. He moved his finger on the map and smiled little by little: "Take Yangzhou again. This Huainan Road is in our hands. Look, Go straight to the south to Qi and Jing, and go straight to the hinterland of the State of Wu.
"It is very convenient to connect the sea road to the west and transport grain and materials later. It is very convenient to transport troops by sea." Li Xiaoyao pointed to the empty area at the edge of Tuyu and smiled. Su Zicheng frowned and couldn't help asking, "What other overseas or islands are you thinking about?" Li Xiaoyao turned his head and looked at him for a moment and smiled, "These are two things. You see, most of Qi and Jing are close to the sea. If Beiping has enough maritime combat power and transportation capacity, it is easy to take two places on both sides of the land and Shanghai. Ships are different from vehicles. You have never been to the harbor. The sea ship is really like a hill. Hundreds of people are at sea, and it is normal not to rely on land for several months. If it is used to transport troops/food, you will know if you think about it. Su Zicheng frowned and didn't say anything. Li Xiaoyao sighed gently, his fingers scratched in the void, and said in a light voice, "My matter is different from this matter." Without waiting for Su Zicheng to speak, Li Xiaoyao laughed again and sighed, "I know! You don't want to beat down ambigu, Jing or something so quickly!" Su Zicheng was stunned. Li Xiaoyao said with a smile and said, "You just love this killing war. It's just like this in the world. If it's all defeated in a few years, who will you fight with in the future? Which one to grab? Therefore, this battle can't be fought so quickly. You have to fight it slowly and carefully. If you fight a little more this year and a little more next year, you have to calculate it well. Otherwise, you won't have to fight without waiting for you to get old, then it will be miserable!"
Su Zicheng heard the strong joke in Li Xiaoyao's words and glanced at Li Xiaoyao and hummed, "Didn't you say that the mall is like a battlefield? When the war here is over, I will accompany you to the mall for a few battles! I don't believe there is anything big of this mall!" Li Xiaoyao bent his eyes and smiled. While smiling, he looked at Su Zicheng and shook his head. Su Zicheng suddenly seemed to remember something. His face gradually darkened and stared at Tu Yu. Li Xiaoyao frowned, quietly stepped back half a step, bent his knees and smiled, "It's late. I'm tired all day. I'm also tired. The prince should rest early." With that, without waiting for Su Zicheng to answer, he took two steps back and turned out.
According to the customs of Wudi, Cui Fujun's birthday is a big day on June 6. From the first three or four days, Cui Fujun Temple five or six miles outside the south gate of Chuzhou City has become lively. The hawkers in ten miles and eight townships don't seem to understand what was going on, dragging trucks and pushing The unicycle, with his family and children, gathered to kowtow to Cui Fujun and burn a few columns of incense to bless the family's safe and smooth year.
Su Zicheng ordered people to set up a high platform that grew to tens of feet in front of Cui Fujun Temple as usual. He didn't know where Zhao Hongzhi found the miscellaneous drama team and juggling team. Every day from the afternoon, Su Zicheng took the large and small generals of the Beiping Army to occupy a corner of the stage. Every night, the soldiers on the grandstand wrestled and shouted. They drank until midnight and were carried into Chuzhou City when they were drunk.
The lively banquet was held for two days, and on the third day, it was the day before Cui Fujun's birthday. This day was earlier than the previous two days. Around the wrestling table, more idle people gathered to watch the lively. This piece of cheers was full swing. Miscellaneous dramas and juggling were in full swing, and there were stalls selling things in the middle. All kinds of snack stalls, full of goods, walking up and tinkers, shouting and shouting. Five or six miles from Cuifu Jun Temple to the south gate of Chuzhou Prefecture, the lights are bright and lively.
Li Xiaoyao was not in the mood to join the excitement. At night, she knelt on ** and read Buddha for a long time before lying under ** to sleep.
Just after the next day's meal, Li Xiaoyao was sitting on a rocking chair in the porch, holding the book restlessly. There was a sound of footsteps outside, and Qingcheng ran in with her skirt and smiled, "Girl! Nanning is coming!" Li Xiaoyao suddenly jumped up and the book fell to the ground. Li Xiaoyao raised his hand and pressed his forehead, exhaled gently, slowly bent down to pick up the book, and then straightened up. His breath had calmed down and waved his hand with a smile.
In a moment, Nanning strode into the yard, followed by a sweaty black coat and a tiger-might army helmet in his hand. He looked like a very heroic soldier. Li Xiaoyi looked at the soldiers who strode in with a grin, and only felt a stream of heat rushing up from the bottom of his heart and rushed straight to his nose sour. There is a blur in front of me.
It was Li Zonggui who came in with Nanning.
Li Xiaoyao threw away the book in his hand and rushed straight for Li Zonggui with his skirt. Nanning jumped far away in fear. Li Zonggui was also shocked by Li Xiaoyao and wanted to take it. He held a helmet in his hand and tied his hand at a loss. Li Xiaoyao rushed to hang Li Zonggui's neck and leaned his face against his neck fiercely. , let go of him and stepped back half a step, wrinkled his nose, and fanned the wind with his hand and said, "Brother Guizi is still so sweaty!" Li Zonggui's eyes were wrong and looked at Li Xiaoyao and grinned, "Xiaoyao has grown tall. Look, she has grown into a big girl. I almost dared not recognize you!" Li Xiaoyao's eyes were blurred again. He wanted to cry and laugh, but he couldn't speak. Nanning looked at Li Xiaoyao and smiled and said, "Girl, hurry up and enjoy a cup of tea. I've been busy all night and I'm thirsty." Li Xiaoyao hurriedly asked people to send tea, snacks, water and handkerchiefs, and quickly asked the two to sit down.
