15. People's grievances are like boiling water

At the end of March, Chang'an City was drought in spring, the world was dark, the air was dry and hot, several canals in the city were almost dry, the trees on the roads and streets were listless, and the branches and leaves were gray.

In the Cui Mansion in Shengpingfang, Gao Yue sat next to the couch and carefully fed Yun Shao, who had a bad appetite due to drought and heat, toast.

"Songqing, you seem to have put less salt."

"Well... Actually, I would have put more salt, but A Ni, you can't eat too heavy food now." Gao Yue coaxed his wife to drink more.

Now Cui Ning has gone out of Fangzhou, and the Liu family is the master of the house. Today, after a break, Gao Yue will rarely stay at home with his wife.

However, in fact, he also knew that the air in Chang'an City had reached the point of explosion:

The siege of Jingzhou City continued, but the money, silk, and corn in the treasury and Taicang were no longer supported. The court asked the stakeholders to go to Jingzhao and Tonghua Prefectures to force the surplus grain from the people's homes to supply the army with low prices, scraping the ground three feet, which caused complaints from the people. In addition, the spring drought disaster made even worse.

Not only that, the court also had to recruit a large number of Dingkou to transport grain to the front line. It is said that they would immediately take people to Kaitun in Pingliang. The streets and alleys of Kyoto were suddenly in chaos. Guo Zhuan and others took the opportunity to instruct evil young men to intimidate residents everywhere. If they did not give me any benefits, "I will ask you to go to Pingliang and go to cultivate fields in the north!" They also used this to extort merchants. People from all walks of life hid from all over the country, and some even fled from the capital and went to Zhongnan Mountain.

In the chaotic situation, even Gao Yue's Tuile Lezhai had no way to do business at this time, so he could only temporarily close Zhang. Several Jingshengs fled to Cui's mansion to ask for protection. After He Moyun came in, he complained to Gao Yue and cursed: "When the emperor had just ascended the throne, he appointed Yang Yan as prime minister. Everyone thought that the peaceful days were coming. Who would have thought that it was only less than a year, and it was really a matter of cutting leeks after autumn. One batch was worse than another, and he was just tossing around!"

"There are many rooms in Cui's Mansion, everyone lives next to my wing. Don't run around casually." At this time, Wu Cailuan walked out to greet the group of friends.

As a result, Ran Sanniang, He Moyun and other Jingsheng rubbed their eyes, rubbed and rubbed again and again, and looked at Wu Cailuan, who had a new look in surprise:

The lotus crown is dazzling, her temples are as beautiful as ink, her eyebrows and eyes are handsome, and her skin is white. Her brand new feathered clothes make her figure look more graceful.

"Master..." Everyone blinked and looked at the buildings, furnishings and gardens of the Cui Mansion. They thought to themselves that the Fugui family was indeed a Fugui family. Even Wu Cailuan was infected with the fairy spirit after coming here, and she was completely reborn.

As a result, He Moyun and the others came in the morning, and Guo Duan came to the door in the afternoon and blackmailed him. He insisted on pulling out ten slaves from Cui's mansion to transport grain to the front line, otherwise he would hand over a hundred stagnant of money to offset the charge.

"Guo Zhuang, you are so awesome. You're scratching the door and scratching the censor's house!" Gao Yue stood in the front courtyard and said unhappy to Guo Zhuang.

"Scrape the door? Gao Shiyu, the country is in a difficult situation now, and this is a levy of official duties. From the common people, from the three dukes and nine ministers, there is no exception. If you hit the emperor, Guo is not afraid at all."

"Jingzhao Yin can't control you?"

Guo Zhuan laughed up and asked you what Yan Dayin was talking about? He was just impeached by your Censorate and is now detained in the Jinwu Courtyard of the Daming Palace for lying about the disaster.

When Gao Yue heard this, he was really angry. He was lying to report the disaster. Is this scene of "Mulberry Strips without leaves produce smoke" blindly? It wasn't because Yan Ying's previous memorial against Mintun that he was frustrated by Yang Yan.

The person who impeached Yan Ying was Yang Yan's clerk Zhang Zhu, the censor who had just returned from Hunan and was said to have rehabilitated Cao Wanggao's unjust case and received praise from the emperor. Now he is in great ambition, and when he returns to Beijing, he beat Jingzhao Yin Yan Ying.

Gao Yue didn't want to get into trouble with Guo Zhuan at this moment, so he went to ask for instructions from Liu.

"Gaolang doesn't have to be too polite. If you want to use a hundred guan, just tell me directly." Liu immediately took out four horse hoof gold and handed it to his son-in-law.

Guo Dun, who took the gold, left with a grim smile and mocked Gao Yue, saying, "High School, senior year, senior year, I have to tell you in advance. The war in Jingzhou City is in a stalemate, and this money can't take much time. Maybe I have to come and collect it later. But I think you can live in such a big house in the third year of high school and you can't escape. However, if you have a good relationship with a young man on the road, flatter you, I, Guo Dun, will consider showing mercy at that time."

After Guo Zhuan left, Gao Yue sneered a few times, "Young man who is the road?"

Xingdaofang is located near Zhuque Street, and the party place for Taofen Shed. Gao Yue, Wei Duke, and Liu De's room gathered. Even Dugu Liangqi and Zheng Zhi also came to participate. The originally lively wine pavilion was very desolate. From below, there were a group of people in the Yanliu, each with bright clothes and angry horses walking towards the imperial city. For the first old man, he shook the horse whip and was full of complacent ambition.

"Lingnan Jiedushi Lu Sigong." Dugu Liangqi said slowly.

"Now he has finally returned to the court and is said to be appointed as the Minister of War." Zheng Zhi continued.

"When Emperor Daizong was still alive, Lu Sigong pacified the rebellion of Geshuhuang in Lingnan. After entering Guangzhou, he implicated the business and killed countless Nanyang merchants. He had no property and took it for himself. He did not hand it over to the court. He also bribed Yuan Zai to protect himself. After Yuan Zai's death, Emperor Daizong once wanted to kill him, but it was persuaded by the governor of Hangzhou Li Mi. Why can he return to the court to be the Minister of War?" Wei Jigong was angry and whispered, "Isn't it that he secretly bribed Yang Yan again."

"Yang Yan will not accept Lu Sigong's bribes by himself." Gao Yue suddenly said this, and his eyes turned to him. Gao Yue calmly raised his glass to drink all his mouth, "But he will let his wife and children accept it, just like what Yuan Zai did, he is worthy of being the successor Yuan Zai had at the beginning, and even the way to accept bribes was the same - Humph, Yang Yan's son, Yang Hongye, the commander-in-chief, isn't it the 'Royal Lord' mentioned by the thief Guo Zhuan?"

Now the Duke of the Warrior was angry and courageous, "Yi Song, do you want us to beat the drum again?"

Now the entire Taofenpan, including Dugu Liangqi and Zheng Zhi, are all indignant of Yang Yan's rebellious actions.

Gao Yue raised his hand slowly, "No need, we don't have to do some things ourselves - let the Holy Lord experience them by themselves." Then he looked at Zheng Zhi again, "But we have to do some things ourselves, civilization - there is something that must be done by you now."

Zheng Zi held the sleeves a little and said there was no problem.

Then Gao Yue stood up, walked to the vermilion railings and the red and yellow wind curtains, and looked in the direction of the Daming Palace with his hands behind his back.

There, countless angry people were surrounding the Jianfu Gate, complaining about Jingzhao Yin Yan Ying, who was falsely accused and detained in the Jinwu Courtyard, and the torch dyed the dusk.
