Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1333 Rainy Night ([-])

The light rain was falling, and the night was dark.

There are countless shops in Dongshi, row upon row, with four doors in total.Since the demolition of the Jingzhao Mansion began, there have been guards sent by the Jingzhao Mansion to guard the four gates, and people are strictly checked every day when they come in and out, lest troublemakers will provoke troubles.

However, the south gate was already opened at this moment, and the yamen servant guarding the gate was severely beaten, and fled away in embarrassment, rushing back to the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion to report.Groups of merchants and peddlers poured into the East Market, and the torches dipped in kerosene were lit, and the thin raindrops made a "sizzling" sound on it, but they could not be extinguished.

Holding a torch in his hand, Hu Chong stood at the gate of Dongshi, and made a loud statement to the crowd of merchants and peddlers and many ordinary people in front of him: "We are all humble traders, and our ancestors have been engaged in cheap business for generations. No one thinks highly of us! We will be looked down upon when we walk on the street, and we will be discriminated against when we enter a wine shop, but are we going to hurt the world? We work hard, year after year, day after day, earning Living with clean money, being a clean person! But now, Dongshi is about to be completely demolished, how long will it take to rebuild it? How will we make a living? Those nobles who sit high on the temple People don't care about our life or death at all, they only see the achievements of being an official, and they cut off our lives with a wave of their hands! Why, we, these small businessmen who don't steal or grab, and are diligent, will become those nobles A victim of political achievements?"

"Why?!"

"Why?!"

The accomplices in the crowd raised their arms and shouted in response, and the civilians who were coerced in and the scattered vendors also expressed excitement.

Hu Chong looked at the crowd in front of him, pointed at Dongshi behind him, and said loudly: "But even so, we must remember that we cannot do anything against His Majesty's will! Your Majesty is a good emperor, but he was betrayed by the treacherous people around him." We have been deceived by generations, we are all good citizens, we must abide by the "Laws of the Tang Dynasty", and we must not embarrass His Majesty! Now listen to me, after we go in, we will gather in the open space for demolition to express our dissatisfaction from the bottom of our hearts. Let Your Majesty, the upright people in the court, and the loyal and virtuous ministers see and hear our demands. We hope to stop the demolition of Dongshi, we hope to restore the normal operation of Dongshi, we want to eat, we want Waiting to raise a family!"

"I want to eat!"

"To raise a family!"

"Stop demolition!"

"Resume business!"

The crowd is clamoring and shouting, the momentum is huge!
In the end, Hu Chong did not forget to warn: "After entering, let's gather together and shout out our demands, but remember, we must never damage any bricks and tiles in Dongshi. Things like smashing shops and stealing goods are absolutely not allowed to happen!"

This must be put an end to. Their task is only to gather merchants to encourage the people to gather here in order to attract the attention of the court, and that is enough.As long as there is a reason for the merchants to gather together and the people to be dissatisfied, the rest of the things will naturally be taken care of by the big bosses above the court.

"Let's go in!"

"go!"

Crowds rushed into the dark East City, and then clusters of torches were lit up, making the entire downtown area of ​​East City as bright as day.

At the same time, the common people who came to support from various Lifangs came one after another.Some of these people are farmers from aristocratic families, some are tenants, some are servants... assigned by the family, they all start from various lifangs, and all rivers flow into Dongshi like a confluence.

Hu Chong wiped the rain on his face, his face was full of excitement, and the blood heat in his body seemed to be burning!Merchants, peddlers and common people gather here just to express their demands. Although it is unreasonable, as long as it does not violate the laws of the country, it will not be serious!
It's just resisting the demolition of Dongshi and hoping to restore normal operations, not wanting to rebel...

After this matter is done, I will definitely be favored and reused by the family. Just think about returning to the mansion with a halo to become the most arrogant steward, and suddenly becoming a celebrity in front of the head of the family. A golden road is at your feet. Hu Chong was so excited that he wanted to howl!
The East City was as bright as day and crowded with people. Hundreds of people gathered here, standing quietly in the open space after the demolition, raising their arms and shouting loud slogans!
"I want to eat!"

"To raise a family!"

"Stop demolition!"

"Resume business!"

In the silent night, a muffled thunderous sound resounded through the sky.

Chang'an shakes!

*****
Changsun Huan had just taken a bath. The dampness from his body was removed in the warm tub, and after changing into dry clothes for the day, he held the fragrant tea served by the maid in his hand. Instead of drinking, he walked to the window and pushed it away. Looking out of the window, looking at the gradually darkening night, his eyes flickered.

Since the afternoon, people have been coming in and out of the mansion from time to time, walking in a hurry and looking dignified.Changsun Huan didn't know what these people were doing, he couldn't ask, and he didn't dare to ask, because these people were all his father's cronies, and in terms of trust, they were even higher than his son...

But Changsun Huan is not an idiot, as long as a seemingly solid egg is knocked, there will always be a crack, not to mention that he is a genuine son of the eldest grandson's family?With the right to speak about the "Eastern Datang Company" in his hands, coupled with his status as the heir of the eldest grandson's family, he has too many means to explore the deeper secrets of the eldest grandson's family.

It is actually not difficult to buy one or two from the old man's people...

So Changsun Huan soon knew the reason for the abnormal movement in the mansion.

Changsun Huan fell silent.

He didn't give Fang Jun an early warning...

Encouraging merchants and hawkers in Dongshi to coerce the people into a civil uprising?
Changsun Huan had to admit that Jiang was still old and hot, and his father just sent out an insignificant little man, so he tightly grabbed Fang Jun's throat.

What is the most important thing for the emperor?

It's not the financial revenue that is flooding with wealth, and it's not the emperor's hegemony that shines through the ages, but... stability.

Everything must be based on the premise of stability, especially for an emperor like His Majesty Li Er who took the country and ascended the throne through a coup d'état!Because he lacked a kind of justifiable confidence, he was very concerned about the trend of the court.

Once a civil uprising occurred in Dongshi, His Majesty Li Er's first thought was not the purpose behind it, but the need to suppress this trend as soon as possible.

As it should be, Fang Jun, the culprit who caused the civil uprising in Dongdong, was the first person to stand up and take responsibility...

I believe that my father's plan is definitely not limited to this. If I can contact a few well-known censors in the censor platform, and jointly impeach Fang Jun with Shangshu, I am afraid that His Majesty will have to cut his wrists and abandon Fang Jun. up.

Responsibility, after all, has to be borne by someone...

Changsun Huan felt a little tangled in his heart.

Logically speaking, he should have sent someone to warn Fang Jun immediately.In the past few years, Fang Jun not only never treated him badly, but also sent the "East Datang Company" to him, which established his position in the eldest grandson's family. It can be said that Fang Jun won him this "son" of.

But at the same time, Changsun Huan couldn't hide the jealousy in his heart.

The most important thing is that there is an unstoppable thought popping up in Changsun Huan's mind at the moment - if one day Fang Jun is disgusted and abandoned by His Majesty Li Er, will it be the turn of the person in charge of the "Eastern Datang Company"? on your head?
"East Datang Company" was created by Fang Jun, but apart from him, the rest are all obeying orders, and no one can threaten his status. It can be said that the family is the only one, and it is firmly in control. That huge benefit.

As long as Fang Jun falls, anyone will have the opportunity to fight for his position, but his elder Sun Huan is close to the water, who dares to say that there is no chance?
The blood flowing all over his body accelerated unstoppably, Chang Sun Huan felt that he was more excited than when he held Chang Sun Dan's concubine under his body to do whatever he wanted!
Taking a deep breath, Changsun Huan forced himself to calm down. The decision he made when he was impulsive was very likely to be wrong. He had to calmly think about the benefits and losses, and calculate all the possibilities after making the decision.Right now, his situation is very good, and he must not be completely ruined because of a wrong decision.

Standing quietly in front of the window, the drizzle in front of his eyes was like a patter of silk, and a cool breeze was blowing on his body, gradually clearing his mind.

Until the tea cup in my hand is slightly cold...

"Come here!" Changsun Huan called out in a low voice.

"Here!" A middle-aged man in a green shirt and a cap came briskly behind Chang Sun Huan, who was his most trusted confidant.

"Fang Jun must have already rushed to Dongshi at this moment. Go and tell him immediately, saying that someone is instigating merchants and peddlers to provoke a civil uprising. He is going to be impeached for this. Let him be very careful, and he must not make things worse."

"Here!"

The middle-aged man responded, turned and left.

"Stop!" Chang Sun Huan called the man to a stop, pondered for a moment, and said softly, "The time for a cup of tea is over."

The time for a cup of tea... there must be irreparable over there, right?
Changsun Huan's tall and straight figure stood in front of the window, his eyes stared in the direction of Dongshi through the lingering rain.

Affection?

interest?

Which is more important?

Where to go?

Since when did I start to become so cold?

Was it from the day when he seduced Changsun Dan's concubine into bed, or was it from the day when he met Changsun Chong in secret in the city last time?
Mixed tastes in my heart...
