The daily life of the bandits in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 211

For an emperor to go to such a dangerous place, it might be a bit of a joke.

Of course Du Ruhui was a little shocked, but what was even more shocking was that the plague in Jingzhou was out of control. If it spread to other places, there would be big troubles.

"Quick, follow me into the palace, and you must stop His Majesty."

Du Ruhui hurriedly turned around.

"Du Shangshu wait a minute." Hou Junji quickly grabbed his arm.

Du Ruhui turned back to look at Hou Junji anxiously, his tired face lacked much color, and at this moment, he even added an urgent worry.

"I just came out of the palace, it's useless to go with me now." Hou Junji waved his hand away.

"That's what to do."

"Let's contact the auxiliary machine now. I like the auxiliary machine the most on weekdays. Maybe he has a way to stop it."

Hou Junji's proposal was nothing more than to attract more people to stop Li Er.

After hearing this, Du Ruhui also agreed, and when the two of them went out, the servant came in with tea, but it turned out to be a waste of time.

"Master is going out?"

"Well, tell Madam, I'll go out and lie down."

"Good sir."

When the two were on their way to Changsun's Mansion, they called Fang Xuanling and Gao Shilian by the way.

After Changsun Wuji came to the house, it happened that Changsun Wuji got up to urinate and was sober.

At this time, in the living room of the Changsun Mansion, several people were drinking tea with sad faces.

Apparently Hou Junji had already explained the ins and outs of the matter.

"Auxiliary machine, on weekdays, I count you as close to His Majesty, why don't you go and persuade me." Hou Junji said.

Gao Shilian at the side glanced at Hou Junji and thought to himself, it's useless for anyone to go.

Both he and Changsun Wuji knew what Li Er had suffered in Mingyue Village, so how could they take this opportunity to save face now.

Changsun Wuji was not a fool either, it was absolutely impossible to persuade Li Er at this time.

So he refused: "No, no, I can't do this, I think it's better for us all to persuade His Majesty together."

Everyone persuades, the so-called law does not blame the public, if one person persuades, the chances of moving his head are very high.

His eldest grandson Wuji knew Li Er's character very well.

When everyone heard that Changsun Wuji refused, they would look at him in surprise.

Aren't you usually the most loyal?
Why are you retreating now?
Only Gao Shilian knows the joys and sorrows.

Changsun Wuji felt the need to explain the eyes of everyone.

"Everyone is like this. Since His Majesty came back from Mingyue Village, his mood has changed a lot. This is obvious to all. I actually have the same position in Your Majesty's heart as everyone else."

"So I tried to persuade it alone, but it didn't work."

"Then what should I do?" Fang Xuanling sighed and put down the teacup in his hand.

The people in the hall are all those who have been murdered by Li Er, and they dare not face it alone.

If a group of people go, it is inevitable that Li Er will not remember a few typical examples.

"I think it's better to call Yaojin and the others to discuss it, that is, we have to write a letter together to stop it. It is always right to have more people."

Gao Shilian made up his mind that he couldn't persuade Li Er, so he might as well call everyone over to discuss more plans.

Especially Li Er's safety after arriving in Jingzhou.

His question was supported by Changsun Wuji, and the two of them had similar ideas.

It's just that I dare not say it, but someone still needs to bring it up, and the most suitable person is Cheng Yaojin.

Cheng Yaojin went to Mingyue Village with them at that time, and he also knew Li Er's suffering, so he would definitely not agree to stop Li Er.

Several people saw that what Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian said had some truth, so they agreed to send people such as Cheng Yaojin and others to come over.

After a cup of tea, Cheng Yaojin, Li Junxian and Yuchi Gong all came to the Changsun Mansion.

As expected, Cheng Yaojin told Li Er to go in one bite.

"Yaojin, do you know the danger of suppressing bandits this time?" Fang Xuanling looked at Cheng Yaojin and said.

"Lord Fang, of course I know, but I really can't persuade Your Majesty, anyway, I can't persuade you."

"You don't know that His Majesty wants to eat Chu Yang's flesh and drink his blood."

"When we were in Mingyue Village, Chu Yang asked His Majesty to stand in a military posture, beat His Majesty Kiel with a stick, and made him attend lectures, etc. This beam is so deep, how can I persuade him?"

Cheng Yaojin just said a few things, and there is a lot that he didn't say. There are many things that made Li Er soft.

These words made Li Junxian, who was drinking tea, a little unsteady in his cup.

This village master of Chu is really cheating.

The rest of the people felt their hearts jump when they heard this, and it was the first time they heard about Li Er's stay in Mingyue Village.

If it was really like what Cheng Yaojin said, it would be impossible to stop Li Er.

"Master Gao, what do you think we should do?" Du Ru was unable to hide his exhaustion.

Seeing his appearance, Gao Shilian asked with concern, "Master Du, is there something wrong with you?"

"It's okay, maybe I'm too tired, you'd better talk about how we should deal with His Majesty's personal conquest." Du Ruhui waved his hand.

"Well, in my opinion, we should join forces to stop His Majesty, but we should not be too persistent. The key point is how to protect His Majesty's safety after he arrives in Jingzhou. Perhaps letting His Majesty command the battle in Binzhou is the best way."

When everyone heard that Li Er was commanding the battle in Binzhou, everyone's eyes lit up. This is indeed a good way.

"However, I don't know if His Majesty is willing. If he insists on arresting Chu Yang, it will be very difficult."

Gao Shilian continued to add.

"Then we will focus on the discussion on the command of Binzhou operations," Fang Xuanling said.

"Yes, Xuanling is right." Du Ruhui nodded in approval.

Li Junxian didn't say anything, he just listened, and cooperated with anything that needed to be done.

A group of people discussed until the end of the hour before adjourning the meeting.

After Li Junxian returned to the newspaper office, he was just lying on the bed when someone knocked on his door.

These days, he is just pretending to be a newspaper in the newspaper office. The newspaper he bought in Chang'an is nominally from the Chang'an Newspaper, but in fact it was sent by the Jingzhou Newspaper, which gave the Chang'an Newspaper a name.

Li Er didn't come to the newspaper office to see the production, even if he came, he couldn't see anything.When Jingzhou delivered the newspaper, Li Junxian carved the same engraving immediately, and gave him several sets of movable type printing molds.

The knock on the door at this time meant that someone from Jingzhou had delivered newspapers to him.

At the same time, the person who delivered the newspaper was also Chu Yang and his information contact.

Li Junxian opened the door.

In the dark night, a figure stood at the door.

"come on in."

Li Junxian pulled the figure in and asked.

"Old Yao, does the village master have any orders?"

"Yes, the village master asked me to bring you a letter." Yao Ping put his hand into his bosom, took out the letter, and handed it to Li Junxian.

He used to manage the hanging baskets. Afterwards, the hanging baskets were rebuilt and the industrial park was built. In terms of management, Yao Ping could no longer keep up, so Chu Yang arranged for him to manage the transportation of newspapers.

Later, because Li Er wanted to open a newspaper, Chu Yang instigated Li Junxian, and asked him to be responsible for the newspapers sent to Chang'an.

He is an old man of Mingyue Village, loyal enough to Chu Yang, and honest and not outstanding in appearance, so he is entrusted with delivering the information, and he is currently training him in spy capabilities.

Moreover, he reported directly to Chu Yang, and even Hei Hu had no right to intervene.

Li Junxian hastily opened the letter and read it quickly.

The content of the letter is to ask Li Junxian to contact the person code-named 'Frog at the Bottom' to inquire about the progress of the infiltration plan.

After reading it, he put down the letter in his hand and looked at Yao Ping suspiciously, "Who is this frog in the well?"

"I don't know either." Yao Ping shook his head, and then said: "The village owner said that the frog at the bottom of the well would go to the Laifu Inn every Thursday at noon, and would order a stir-fried little clever ghost, plus a roasted white, to eat. After finishing, I will order a portion of peanuts to take away.”

"So mysterious?" Li Junxian couldn't believe it, but felt an inexplicable excitement.

This feeling is very ceremonial, but very fun.

Yao Ping nodded, "This time there is a major event that will change the structure of Datang. The village master also gave you a code name."

"Oh? What's it called?"

Li Junxian took a sip of tea excitedly.

"Little yellow duck."

puff!
Cough, cough, cough.

"It's okay." Yao Ping hastily stretched out his hand to pat him on the back, and at the same time was grateful that he didn't sit opposite Li Junxian.

"It's okay, it's okay." Li Junxian quickly wiped the water around his mouth and the water on the table, "Village Master, do you have anything else to say? How can I make this man called the frog at the bottom of the well believe me?"

"It's simple. When you see the frog in the well, you ask 'Have you ever eaten candy', and he will ask you 'Is it only one for each person', and you say 'No, just pour it out of the bottle'. "

Yao Ping explained to Li Junxian carefully.

"Okay, is there any more?"

"No more, you can remember."

"Then do you have a code name?" Li Junxian asked suddenly.

Hearing this, Yao Ping blushed, and said lightly, "Weke"

"Little crake?"

"Ha ha ha ha"

After Li Junxian heard this, he slapped his legs and laughed.

"Be serious," Yao Ping said dissatisfied.

"Okay, okay, do we have a connection code?"

"No." Yao Ping curled his lips and asked again, "Anything new?"

"Yes, Li Er plans to go to Binzhou to direct the attack on Jingzhou."

"Well, the newspapers have been delivered, and the village owner also sent several sets of wooden movable type printing machines."

"Roller?"

"No, you have to print some yourself in the future, and put them in Li Er for inspection, and this is the calendar."

Yao Ping took out a small calendar and an instruction manual for using the calendar.This is published by Mingyue Village itself, compiled by Yuan Tiangang some time ago.

"Okay." Li Junxian nodded and reached out to take the calendar.

"Farewell." Yao Ping stood up and cupped his hands at Li Junxian.

After sending Yao Ping away, he immediately went back to the house, closed the door, took out the calendar and looked at it.

At this time, the calendar said the eighth day of the first lunar month. He did some calculations, and it happened that today was the eighth day after New Year's Eve. After reading the manual, he just got up every morning and just tore off a calendar.

It just so happens that dawn tomorrow is Thursday.

Looks like I'll have to check it out tomorrow.

……

Jingzhou, Anding City Epidemic Prevention Headquarters

"Is everything ready?" Chu Yang looked at the people in the meeting room and asked.

"It's all ready."

"Well, execute the plan immediately. Master Yuan, you will set up a decoction brewing point in the industrial park. We need to store a large amount of medicine to prevent the plague from resurging."

After hearing Chu Yang's words, Yuan Tiangang frowned and said, "Village Master, how can this soup be boiled and preserved?"

Chu Yang pondered for a while, "Just use a bamboo tube, and then use a cork to seal it with pine resin."

"Okay." Yuan Tiangang nodded.

Chu Yang continued: "Qin Gui, you arrange manpower to build a decoction brewing factory in the industrial park. Just build a safe and simple shed first, and cooperate with Master Yuan."

"It's the village master."

"Let's act, everyone."

……

The ninth day of the first lunar month
Chang'an, Xiande Hall.

"Today's morning court is really refreshing, dear friends, are you happy?"

Li Er sat in a high position, and said loudly with a red face.

Most of His Highness's ministers looked blank.

Some whispered to each other and asked.

What's the matter today, Your Majesty?
Why are you so happy?
Changsun Wuji and the others really knew what was going on, so they could only keep their heads down and remain silent.

Seeing the bewildered faces of the ministers below, Li Er felt more at ease.

So Hong said: "I want to say a few things."

The high-pitched voice immediately silenced His Highness' chattering people.

"A great plague broke out in Jingzhou, and the whole city was broken, hahahaha."

"Are you saying that God is helping me? This is letting me be rid of all thieves."

The magnificent voice echoed in the hall, shaking the hearts of every official.

The ministers all wondered what happened to His Majesty and why he was so happy.

Someone who was sycophant immediately shouted: "Your Majesty upholds the destiny, and will surely be able to shock all parties. It is really a blessing for the people. The Tang Dynasty will surely prosper forever."

This person was Xu Jingzong, a very humble official who also came from Wagang.

But since someone speaks out, someone will join in.

So a large group of people followed and said: "I wish the Tang Dynasty eternal prosperity."

Changsun Wuji and others all stared at Xu Jingzong fiercely, but they could only shout along with the crowd.

Li Junxian also looked at Xu Jingzong secretly, thinking in his heart, this guy is ordering something again, why didn't he find it in Wagang before.

This Xu Jingzong is indeed an extraordinary person, but now is not the time for him to shine.

The happy Li Er quickly laughed three times, and then said with pride: "I want to go to Jingzhou personally to kill the bandits.

When Xu Jingzong heard this, he felt that it was time to show his loyalty.

Immediately said loudly: "Your Majesty must not, this is putting the dragon body under the dangerous wall."

At this moment, Changsun Wuji and the others smiled.

The lifeless little shrimp.

There are many people in the court who want to increase their official ranks by slapping horses, but how many people can really increase their ranks.

These people are all people who know deeply what the emperor is thinking.

But the current Xu Jingzong didn't know what Li Er was thinking at all.

And I thought it was a sign of loyalty.

This is also in line with what Changsun Wuji and others discussed last night.

Let this pawn come out and make a right.

At this time, many officials have followed suit.

When Li Er saw so many people yelling at him, he immediately shouted: "Presumptuous, how dare you make such a noise in the hall, come here, pull down Xu Jingzong and other leaders and beat them hard."

When Xu Jingzong heard this, he immediately shouted that he was wronged.

Changsun Wuji and the others smiled even more.

"Your Majesty, I have a message." Changsun Wuji came out and said.
