Chapter 605

The imperial court naturally knew that Duke Cheng led his army into Yizhou.

Huang Cheng would never hide such disobedience for Cheng Guogong. He added fuel and vinegar to the report to the emperor, and the messenger of the golden man who negotiated peace also made a big fuss.

At first, there was no news of Cheng Guogong, and then came the news of the death of the whole army.

The whole country was in an uproar.

Although Cheng Guogong hasn't been to Beijing for many years, the people are no strangers to him. After all, first he expelled the gold thieves and lifted the danger of the people in the north, and then stationed at the border to save everyone from the invasion of the gold thieves.

Although I have been used to peace and stability in the past ten years, and sometimes I feel that Cheng Guogong seems to have been forgotten, everyone panicked when I heard that Cheng Guogong died in the war.

What about the border?

We made peace and stopped fighting.

No war? How can the golden man be trusted.

Twenty years ago, they also made peace. Thirty years ago, they were the vassal of the Qi Dynasty. As a result, they destroyed the Qi Dynasty, swept the northern land and took away the emperor of the state of Zhou.

How can these barbarians be trusted.

What's more, the three counties were ceded, and the Jin people are closer to the mainland. In the past, it was difficult to cross the vast river and territory. Now they are almost close to each other. They step in and reach out to the capital.

The grief over the death of Cheng Guogong and the fear of the future made everyone who heard the news cry.

Adults cry, children cry, for a time almost the same as the world.

This scene surprised the imperial court.

I didn't expect that the news of Cheng Guogong's death in the war would cause such a big shock.

There are also rumors that Cheng Guogong was killed by the imperial court because he wanted to negotiate peace. In order to please the golden man, he deliberately sent Cheng Guogong to die.

Of course, there were different opinions soon, saying that Cheng Guogong was so happy that he refused to return, which resulted in the death of the elite soldiers and strong horses. Some even said that Cheng Guogong was not dead, but surrendered to the enemy.

This statement soon swept the whole capital, and the uproar overshadowed the previous rumors.

"Your Majesty has repeatedly asked him to withdraw. Only Cheng Guogong does not retreat. Why?"

In the bright spring of March, a thin man said with foam splashing in his mouth in the tea shop near the river.

People around this circle, sitting or standing, look complex.

"The heart of the country is the North..." A man replied.

He was booed by the thin man before he finished answering.

"What? It's for his own sake. After retreating and making peace, how can he be a duke in the north?" He groaned, "let me tell you, Cheng Guogong is the most favorite war in the world. He is not willing to negotiate peace. Otherwise, what reason does he have to show off his power in the north?"

It seems that this is the same reason. There was a low voice around.

Chen Qi looked at the river and held his arm.

"It's so cold." He said.

Shopkeeper Liu on the opposite side also looked complicated.

"Yes, it's so cold." He said, "it's spring in March, but it still makes people feel cold at the bottom of their heart."

The man on one side saw that the people around him listened, looked elated and stepped on the bench.

"Therefore, Duke Cheng must have deliberately gone to Yizhou to undermine the peace..." He shouted.

But as soon as he spoke, he heard someone shouting outside, and immediately something hit him.

Men only feel a stench on their faces, which is almost disgusting and painful.

With a cry, he backed away. He had to live on a table, but suddenly he tripped over something, and the whole man fell down.

There was an uproar around.

"What's the matter? What's the matter?" Chen Qi jumped up to help the man.

The man got up and kicked the dirty shoes off his face.

"Thank you, brother." He said gratefully, then looked out angrily, "who?"

People around also looked out and saw four or five beggars in rags. The first thin beggar had only one shoe left on his feet.

Beggar?

Beggars don't beg now. Are they going to rob?

The beggars who are timid and beg for food in the capital look angry and even fierce.

"What are you doing?" The man walked over angrily.

"You, why did you scold Cheng Guogong!" Cried the beggar headed by.

The tone is stiff and astringent, with an obvious northern accent.

The man shouted.

"Cheng Guogong brings disaster to the country and the people..." He said.

This time, before the words fell, the beggars shouted.

"Don't disrespect Cheng Guogong."

Not only shouted, but this time the man rushed up and hit the man face to face.

The man was thrown to the ground off guard.

The tea shop was in chaos.

"Don't hit people, don't hit people, have something to say." Chen Qida shouted, jumping left and squeezing right in the field, as if to fight, but inadvertently pushed away the people around who wanted to fight and stop.

In the end, this is the capital. Coupled with the unstable situation in the north, the military and Horse Department of the five cities stepped up patrols and soon came to control both sides.

The man was beaten by several beggars and was scratched several times on his face. He rubbed his nose blood and complained angrily to arrest people.

Of course, if a beggar beats someone, he should catch the beggar, and the soldiers of the five cities army and horse department should come forward.

"Why do you hit people? Beggars hit people at will." Chen Qi shouted, "if you don't make it clear, all the beggars in the city have to be driven out."

"Yes, make it clear why you hit people." A voice echoed behind him.

That's true. Now there are more and more beggars and refugees in the capital. In case of trouble, everyone will be affected.

So more voices sounded.

The cry stopped the soldiers' actions, while the beggars opened their mouths with some grievances and anger.

"Because he scolded Cheng Guogong." A man said, his eyes red and his anger remained, "if it weren't for Duke Cheng, we wouldn't even be able to be beggars in the capital. We would have starved to death in the north, but you said that Duke Cheng would bring disaster to the country and the people. You're nonsense."

Is that why?

The people present were stunned. These beggars broke up and hurt people because someone said bad things about the Duke of the country.

Is this stupid, or is it a tribute to Cheng Guogong?

"You're just talking nonsense. I scold Cheng guopr for what's wrong with you." A manly jump.

"Of course it's none of our business."

The beggars shouted together, looking sad and angry.

"You're not from the north. Why do you say it's bad to be a Duke?"

"We are northerners. Who knows what days we live?"

"If Duke Cheng hadn't protected us, we would have died under the sword of the golden soldiers. He stopped the golden thieves to protect the people, but you said he was greedy for power. It's called greedy occupation. Go to greedy occupation. Go and see how easy it is."

"Now, in order to stop Jin Bing, Duke Cheng does not hesitate to take risks. His wife and son are giving porridge along the way in the north. They are not allowed to shut us out. They say he is imposing. Why don't you do it? Go and try it and see how easy it is."

"In order to ensure the safe evacuation of the people in the three counties, Duke Cheng sent his son and his wife to help with troops. Do you think he likes war and can do it if he doesn't fight? If he doesn't fight, we'll die."

The beggars said, and several women began to cry.

"You have a good life and easy life. It's too bullying to slander people like this." An old beggar choked and said angrily.

These beggars are all fugitives from the north. What they say about the north and the country is really convincing.

The words plunged the surroundings into silence.

Yes, Duke Cheng has done so many things and is speculated to be a bit of a bully.

Depending on the situation, the man is a little embarrassed.

"Don't listen to their nonsense." He said, looking at the soldiers, "catch people quickly."

Several soldiers gave him a cold look.

"Don't make trouble in the street." The leader said, "if you commit another crime, you will be put in prison."

Then he looked at the beggars.

"Get out of here."

The beggars were stunned. Although they were angry and impulsive, they were still afraid. Unexpectedly, the officers and soldiers didn't catch them, so they hurriedly helped the old and the young to go away.

The man was stunned.

What do you mean by that? Who is this warning? How did you let people go.

"Hey, you..." He was busy shouting to catch up, and someone hit him in the back.

The man was caught off guard and fell forward. His leg was held on the corner of the table. It hurt so much that he screamed and couldn't care to talk and question.

"Excuse me, excuse me." Chen Qi shouted out in a hurry, "it's going to be late."

Shopkeeper Liu smiled and followed.

The soldiers looked coldly at the people in the tea shop.

"It's all gone when it's all right." The leader said, "don't spread rumors to confuse the people."

This is a big crime. The people in the tea shop were startled and the birds and animals immediately dispersed.

In the twinkling of an eye, only the man himself was holding his feet in the tea shop, with a nosebleed and swollen eye, cursing angrily and shamefully.

For the curse of the man behind him, Chen Qi and shopkeeper Liu looked back and smiled at each other.

They looked at several beggars walking slowly away in the street and sighed at the same time.

"After all, it won't always be so cold in spring." Shopkeeper Liu said.

"People in the capital can't see what Duke Cheng has done, and people in the north can see it." Chen Qi said, "there is justice in heaven and earth."

As he spoke, he heard the sound of horse hoofs and a riot in the street.

But everyone is familiar with it. There are many urgent letters in the capital.

Chen Qi and shopkeeper Liu avoided the roadside. Looking back, they saw a soldier running quickly.

But different from the past, the soldier held the silk flag that had been put behind him in his hand.

"Urgent report." He shouted loudly and excitedly, "Cheng Guogong Yi state led the army back."

Cheng Guogong!

The cry made the street quiet and immediately roared.

Cheng Guogong! Cheng Guogong is not dead!

Chen Qi held his hands and looked surprised.

"I just said casually that God is really fair." He said.
