Chapter 125
He knew what material the handcuffs were made of, and it was impossible to pry them open, they could only be opened with a key.
Gong Yan's words made him fall into despair.
Is it really going to be trapped here forever?
Gong Yan saw him, smiled and waved his hand, "It's getting late, I won't bother Uncle Huang, the boat will go straight when it reaches the bridge, let's take a step and see, Uncle Huang, don't be too impatient."
Looking at his disgusting face, Gong Mochen became more and more disgusted in his heart, and said in a low voice, "Get lost!"
Gong Yan smiled, not annoyed, but hummed a ditty and skipped away.
Gong Mochen looked at his back with complicated eyes.
—
The next day.
More hot news came in the capital.
All the new ministers have been recruited, all of them are very young, no one is over 30 years old, the youngest is only seven years old, I don't know how well they handle government affairs, anyway, the ability to fight crickets, gamble, and drink is first-rate .
The high-ranking minister is a 12-year-old boy. The boy looked stupid, with a silly smile on his face, and went to the Prime Minister's Mansion with a pot in his arms. It seems that he will be there from today stayed.
These teenagers are not the sons of aristocratic families, nor are they famous young masters, but some hooligans who are nostalgic for playing in the flower streets and willow alleys. It seems that they are the friends Gong Yan made when he went out for private visits, and now they are all stuffed into the palace. up.
I heard from the maid in the palace that there was no political discussion this morning, but what kind of crickets are the fiercest, how to drink so as not to get drunk, and what kind of women are the most ecstatic.
The content made people blush, and when the court was about to end, Gong Yan even took the initiative to give a concubine from his harem to the newly appointed prime minister, saying it was a reward, but it sounded ridiculous, and he actually gave his wife to others.
Afterwards, everything is unsightly and chaotic.
Everywhere on the street, you can see a group of young hooligans who have just taken office swaying through the market. They have not changed their nature, and there are a group of "little brothers" behind them. When they see something interesting on the street, they immediately snatch it. , the man directly said, "I'm an official of the imperial court! It's your luck to see your things!"
Then I saw the peddler's face turned blue and purple for a while, but he didn't dare to say anything more. The younger brother behind him flattered, "Boss is really amazing!"
Seeing a good-looking girl on the street, he whistled and made a lewd expression, scaring the girl's face and leaving in a hurry.
Everyone dared not speak out, thinking to themselves, this is not an official ordered by the court, this is a group of blatant bandits!
All the ministers with real power in the court were dismissed, and only some idle princes remained, such as Tang Mingzhou.
Xie Zhaosi felt distressed when he saw the dark blue under Tang Mingzhou's eyes.
He looked up at the sky, and secretly prayed: Feng Lin must make it through...
Border battle reports kept coming, and none of them was good news. Without exception, the army rations could not be supplied, and the soldiers didn't have enough to eat and had no energy.
The Prince Regent's Mansion sent the elite soldiers it had secretly cultivated. When the common people knew about this, they also donated their own food and sent it to the Prince Regent's Mansion. They asked the Prince Regent's Mansion to send the food they gathered to the border to do their best. This kind of spirit is very moving.
When the regent was in power, he governed the country properly and treated the people very well. Although he is now in a coma, he will wake up after a while. So what if the king is in power, and when the prince wakes up, they will go back to the original happy life , suffering is only temporary.
Everyone thought so in their hearts. Seeing the smiles on their faces, the people in the Prince Regent's Mansion had mixed feelings in their hearts. They didn't know how to speak, so they could only thank them dully, and then loaded the food into the carriage and sent it to the border.
Although the brave general was dismissed, he is still a great general in the hearts of everyone. He led Xia Zongyu to the battlefield regardless of obstacles.
When Xia Zongyu left the city gate, he turned his head again. He looked at the originally bustling capital city and couldn't help sighing.
His eyes wandered.
He knew that Su Jin would come back, Feng Lin would not let him go, but he didn't know when he would come back, how long Feng Lin would have to wait...
He smiled softly, "I didn't find out what happened to Gong Mochen this time, it's hidden really deep."
General Xiaoyong looked back, saw Xia Zongyu still standing in front of the city, and asked, "What's wrong? Are you scared?"
Xia Zongyu came back to his senses, and smiled casually, "Afraid? What is there to be afraid of on the battlefield, and dying on the battlefield is the highest honor for a man!"
General Xiaoyong smiled heartily, reached out and patted him on the back, and said, "A tiger father has no dogs! He is a good son for his father! Let's go and fight for Feng Lin!"
"Fight for Feng Lin!"
The father and son looked at each other and smiled, and left the city gate together. They were carrying the light behind their backs, and their bodies seemed to be covered with golden light, so dazzling.
At this moment, all the intrigue turned into praying for Fenglin. Everyone hoped that Fenglin could overcome this difficulty, and looked forward to the real king waking up, and rediscovering Fenglin's former glory!
I don't know where Gong Yan got the news. He knew that everyone sent the rice to the Prince Regent's Mansion to take it to the border, so he followed suit and asked each household to pay 30 taels of silver. , the money is not enough, and everyone needs to gather together to complete the final construction.
The people were so angry that they almost turned their backs. How could His Majesty have such a big face? !Is it necessary to force every household to donate silver for their own entertainment? !
The common people refused one after another, so Gong Yan sent his own gangsters to come to the door to ask for it. If they couldn't hand it in, they would be punished and beaten up by those hooligans.
Some people can't even eat porridge, so where can I get the 30 taels of silver?But those people didn't listen at all, they directly pressed the person to beat, and when they handed over the money, they let go.
People in their 80s and [-]s were thrown to the ground, punched and kicked, women were taken advantage of, and children were covered in bruises and cried endlessly.
It only took two days to provoke the anger of the people, but Gong Yan didn't know how to restrain himself. After knowing that the people would resist, he even asked the soldiers to accompany him to collect the money.
The Prince Regent's Mansion came forward to persuade him to no avail, and he still went his own way, acting as if he would die if he didn't build the Tayun Tower, and also acted as if I was doing it for your benefit and being superior.
Everyone in the Prince Regent's Mansion had no choice but to fight against the imperial court to protect the people of Fenglin from being persecuted by this ridiculous request. However, due to limited manpower, they couldn't cover everything, and some people were still hurt.
In less than two days, many people died because of this matter, Gong Yan still didn't know how to restrain himself.
The common people knelt in front of Zhu's gate, loudly begging Gong Yan to stop being confused and leave a way for the common people to survive.
There was chaos in the capital, and everyone was miserable.
-
The cold palace was deserted, and this was the place where concubines or princes were locked up, but if Gong Yan's concubine made a mistake, she would be executed immediately, and there would be no children under her knees, so this place would become an abandoned palace.
Everyone thought that the cold palace was dilapidated, but it was not. There was a very gorgeous house here. Although the red paint on it had faded, it was still beautiful.
The furnishings inside are no worse than the current emperor's bedroom, but it seems that it has been a few years old.
This is the former emperor's bedroom. After the palace has been revised several times, this bedroom has turned into a cold palace. It is a great humiliation.
At this time, Chu Kongqiu was half leaning on the soft couch, holding the Buddhist beads in his hands, his eyes wandered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
He was still dressed in white, but at this moment, it seemed that he no longer had the extraordinary and otherworldly temperament...
Gong Yan stood aside, looked at him thoughtfully, and asked in a low voice, "Does the national teacher feel bored?"
Chu Kongqiu shook his head, "I'm not bored, I'm just thinking about what you said when you secretly met Gong Mochen that day."
When Gong Yan heard this, his body trembled unconsciously, and he said in a trembling voice, "I, I just looked at him..."
Chu Kongqiu smiled disdainfully, "Just to see? Do you believe that I can easily get out of his mouth what you talked about that day?"
Gong Yan suddenly became frightened, and with a "plop", he knelt on the ground, "I, I was wrong."
"Forgive you this time. After all, that guy will spend the rest of his short life there. It doesn't matter what you say to him. He will never have a chance to turn around in his life." Chu Kongqiu's eyes changed Some cruel.
Gong Yan hesitated for a while, remembering his purpose of coming, but then looked at Chu Kongqiu who seemed a little displeased, he hesitated again, faltering.
Chu Kongqiu looked at his hesitant expression from the corner of his eyes, and unconsciously felt agitated in his heart, "Speak up if you have something to say."
Gong Yan said, "The common people donated food voluntarily. The soldiers on the frontier heard this and their fighting spirit was high. It seems that they will not be defeated for a while."
Chu Kongqiu smiled indifferently, "Let them go, how long they can support alone, sooner or later they will be defeated."
He intentionally leaked the news of Gong Mochen's death to the enemy country. He must have assembled all his forces to capture Fenglin. Even the former Fenglin had to fight seriously, so how will this half-dead Fenglin fight against them now?
Gong Yan thought for a while and said, "How about I let someone poison their food?"
Chu Kongqiu frowned, "You are more impatient than me."
Gong Yan lowered his head slightly after hearing the sarcastic words.
He really couldn't wait to leave.
Chu Kongqiu looked at the Buddhist beads in his hand in a daze, "We don't need to be too impatient, we must show them hope, and then let them completely despair."
He used to believe in Buddhism in order to have faith in his heart, so that his heart would always have a pure land, but is this pure land still there?He himself didn't know that the Buddhist beads in his hand actually made him feel a little uncomfortable, but he was reluctant to throw it away, and he still held it in his hand all day long, but the meaning had changed, it used to be a belief, but now it's a habit.
