With the arrival of a large number of central troops, the battle on the banks of the Luoyang River was coming to an end. All the rangers who planned to assassinate Di Renjie and others in Luoyang River, except those who died on the spot, were all brought back to Dali temple in Luoyang by Di Renjie.
At the beginning of the battle, the old lady on the boat was so scared that she hid in the small cabin on the side of the boat. When she was found by the Wu Wei and found out that there was an emperor among the people who had been assassinated by Rangers, the old lady fainted.
But even so, all the boats on both sides of the Luoyang River and nearby were either taken away or monitored by the Dali temple, the Ministry of punishment and the Luoyang mansion, waiting for summon the next day.
The night in Luoyang City was even more exciting than the rumors in Luoyang City on that day. In the streets and alleys of Luoyang City, the sound of horse hooves, screams, hasty footsteps and roars did not stop.
The whole Luoyang City seems to be back to the scene when Emperor Taizong was stationed in Luoyang. The whole city, whether it is the common people or officials, or the dignitaries of the rich and noble families, almost all stayed up all night, just like a frightened bird, raising his ears to listen to the tense voice outside.
Some bold or well-known families mobilized all the servants and generals of the family to take up arms and guard the mansion all night.
It was not until dawn, after the symbolic opening of the city gate, that the noisy city of Luoyang gradually quieted down. The light fog in the morning had not yet dissipated. At the gates of Luoyang City, a line of heavily armed and heavily guarded central army appeared, with horizontal swords and bows hanging on their waist, and their eyes were vigilant, examining each and every common people and carriage in and out of the city 。
In contrast, in every city gate, or in every street and lane, there are posters on the emperor's paper which Li Hong ordered last night to refute rumors, which is regarded as a reassurance to Luoyang City, which has been tense for a whole night.
As the sun rises slowly from the East, it drives away the mist in and out of the city at a speed not easily perceived by the naked eye. After a night's infiltration, the misty slate road is covered with the messy footprints of last night.
The whole Luoyang city's Hawking sound and the drum sound in the bell tower almost at the same time. The streets and alleys in Luoyang City were revived, as if everything was no different from yesterday. Last night's tense sounds of people's hair standing upside down and weapons colliding seemed to have been buried in the night of yesterday.
But even so, in addition to the common people, the five surnames and seven hopes, the noble family, can still smell the trace of unusual and subtle killing intention from the bustling and noisy air of Luoyang City.
One by one, the servants came back from the outside in a hurry. Basically, everyone held a notice that had just been lifted from the streets and alleys of Luoyang City.
Cui Xuanwei was so self-confident that he even got up in the morning with a trace of excitement. At the moment, while discussing with Cui Xinggong what had happened last night, he slowly took over the notice handed over by his servants.
There was a report from the servant in his ear: "this was uncovered from the gate of our house, and no one stopped it. Although every notice office is guarded by someone, it seems that those military guards are eager to have these notices removed. The villain was only after the two men in front of him uncovered them, and then they pasted another one on the Wuwei and took them home."
"Well, then, no one doubts that it was you who pulled it off?" Cui Xinggong was very strange. His heart was full of doubts for a moment. After the notice was posted, although it was announced to the world, it was after all the imperial edict of his majesty, which was not allowed to be uncovered.
"No one should doubt it, because after the villains were uncovered, the military guards didn't even look at the villains, but immediately took out one with other guards and continued to post them. As for the people and scholars around, their attention is focused on the notice of the new post and the voice of the literati in the crowd. No one will pay attention to the villain's uncovering, and the villain still turns several square fields before coming back in a detour. " The servant looked at Cui Xinggong, the governor of Yizhou. He was also the future owner of the house.
Cui Xuanwei, who had been silent for a long time, carefully read the notice. After making sure that the meaning between the lines was understood and understood, he took the notice and carried it behind his back to praise the humanity: "good job. Go down and have a rest. I'm calling you if you have something to do."
Looking at Cui Xuanwei, who was very pleased between his facial expressions, Cui Xinggong was worried and said, "father, is there something strange in this?"
"What can be weird? I've read it carefully. You can have a look After that, Cui Xuanwei handed the notice to Cui Xinggong. Then he sat down in the corridor and pavilion and said slowly, "it seems that the killing effect of those Rangers last night has finally made your majesty aware and make concessions. We have won this battle."
After that, he ignored Cui Xinggong, who had been quietly reading the notice. Cui Xuanwei clenched his fist with a hammer on his thigh. His expression was extremely proud and relieved.
Having been wrestling with your majesty for so many years, now this matter is finally the result of a noble family headed by the five surnames and seven hopes. Anyway, it is worth celebrating. The hard work and careful arrangement of these days are not in vain.Looking at Cui Xinggong, who was still studying the notice carefully, Cui Xuanwei said: "have you not understood it yet? Is it possible for your majesty not to pursue your own face if you don't care about your own face? Therefore, there is no mention in the notice that we should be investigated for those who have made rumors or maliciously slandered us. It is because when the middle school letter was drafted and under the door, his Majesty's face was left to avoid embarrassment. "
"But This notice does not say that it is not the father who gives up the investigation on us? It's just said that your majesty will not believe those rumors, nor will you believe that our noble family headed by the five surnames and seven hopes will do things like rumors to shake the foundation of the court and exploit the interests of the people. But without speaking out, your majesty will not investigate the officials who have risked their lives to remonstrate Cui Xinggong raised his head and looked at his father, who did not care, or seemed to be more elated now. Suddenly, he felt that all this was just a strategy of his Majesty's stabilizing court and the people in the world.
"If you continue to look down, don't you still write that, as the autumn harvest season is approaching, the officials who leave the jurisdiction will be ordered to return to their posts immediately from today? This does not mean that your majesty has given up the investigation of responsibility, and intends to turn the big things into small ones Cui Xuanwei has a good memory. Besides, it is also a notice related to their own interests, so he can recite the above meaning word for word.
Looking at his relaxed and somewhat proud father, Cui Xinggong felt more and more uneasy. He could not help shaking his head, put down the notice and stood up. Looking at Cui Xuanwei, he said solemnly: "father, this is not his majesty. Now my emperor of the Tang Dynasty is very good at playing word games. It seems that the wording is rigorous and supports our five surnames and seven hopes It may be his Majesty's plot to paralyze us, as well as Wei Wenchao hall and the common people and scholars in the world. "
Cui Xinggong paced slowly in the corridor, but his eyebrows grew deeper and deeper, as if he were analyzing and speaking to Cui Xuanwei. He murmured to himself, "Your Majesty's move is likely to split the unity of our five surnames and seven hopes, and to separate them into different ones, which is a purposeful pseudo concession. The notice seems to be biased towards us, but in the whole article, except for your Majesty's saying that he does not believe the rumors in Luoyang city yesterday, the rest Nothing at all! Father, if you don't believe it, take a closer look. Apart from the one I just said, did your majesty have any words or words that directly affirmed the responsibility of officials who would no longer be investigated, who had five surnames and seven hopes, and who risked their lives to remonstrate with them? As for what you said, let all the officials return to their places of office, and from now on. But as a governor of Yizhou, why has no one told me to return to my post? Does Yizhou not produce grain? There must be fraud in this. Father, we still have to take a long-term view. "
Cui Xuanwei was stunned. He quickly recalled the contents of the notice in his mind. When he was not sure, he grabbed the notice and compared it with his heart.
After all, no matter what the wording of the letter of admonishment to the officials, they did not accept the letter of admonishment. However, they did not accept the notice because of the coming of the autumn day.
"You are too thoughtful. As a father, you have looked at it several times, but you can't find out what you said is wrong? Maybe you are under too much pressure these days. After all, as an important official of the imperial court, I am afraid it will make you overreact. This yellow paper and black characters, is it possible for a father to see the wrong things Cui Xuanwei squeezed out a smile on his face, but his smile at the moment, compared with his elated and elated appearance, seemed somewhat guilty and stiff.
Cui Xinggong was obviously not relieved by his father Cui Xuanwei's words of consolation. He still looked at the distance with a dignified look, or his eyes fell on the notice and murmured: "no, it's definitely not. Since your Majesty's accession to the throne for more than five years, as a courtier, I still know something about your majesty. Your majesty is not so light He who is easy to give up and give in, otherwise he would not be his majesty today. At that time, with 3000 people running to Dashi, in less than three months, Dashi, which seemed to be a piece of iron, was divided into four parts. However, he was able to lead the central army to return to Anxi safely in that dangerous situation. "
"What is the intention of your Majesty's notice, and what is its purpose? Is it just for the autumn harvest, to cheat us? But how can the yellow paper and the black characters cheat... " Cui Xuanwei was upset by some nervous Cui Xinggong. He had a good mood early in the morning, but his prudence destroyed him. It was really a bad scene.
But what he didn't expect was that his son's words immediately plunged him into deep meditation.
Cui Xinggong suddenly turned around and looked nervous. He pointed to the notice and said, "yes, it's autumn harvest."
"What do you mean?" Cui Xuanwei felt that he was almost startled by the villain and jumped out of his chair.
"In the Tang Dynasty, the inquisition and beheading are all after the autumn, so the Ministry of punishment, the Dali temple and the Yushitai will attach the words of" asking and beheading after autumn. ""So what?" Cui Xuanwei felt his head hit by a heavy hammer and began to hum.
"Because in addition to the four words after autumn, there are also These four words are to settle accounts after autumn In the end, Cui Xinggong had already said every word, but his voice trembled slightly.
