Chapter 94 (1/2)
Hua Lanting's foot journey is slower than usual because he wants to recover from his injury.
On the way, he heard the rumor that emperor Qingyun had made an order to jointly try the case of Qingyuan Hou's treason, which attracted the attention of the whole country, with the three departments of Dali temple, the Ministry of punishment and the duchayuan.
Knowing the news, hualanting was not in a hurry to speed up the journey. This kind of big case often takes a long time to try. When you arrive in the capital, whether it is a secret visit or rescue, you can find out the reason as long as you meet with Qingyuan Hou.
He always felt that this matter was not simple. There was something strange inside and outside. There was a lot of fog. Whether Qingyuan Hou really had an opposite intention or something else, the first thing was to uncover the truth.
Hualanting has no particularly clear preset position in mind for the time being.
He was originally an outsider. Whether it was the Duke of Qingyuan, or the dust dynasty or other forces, it was an experience for him. It was a game involving family state relations, family relations and laws, Dynasty disputes and other elements.
For him, there is always right and wrong in everything, and the judgment criteria vary from person to person and from time to time.
Now it is information asymmetry, and it is still difficult for him to judge. Once it is clear, it is nothing more than acting according to his heart. Whether it is based on friendship and friendship or universal principles and laws. Under the balance, he can always set a constitution.
His previous behavior and planning was to strive for the personal safety of a ”relative” and maintain a stable situation according to his own personality and intuition.
As for the future, he played the idea of analyzing the specific situation and adapting to the situation.
After walking for nearly two days, Hua Lanting was almost close to the suburbs of Zhongping City, but he was shocked by an explosive news.
The reversal of the plot setting is too abrupt and intense, which is beyond everyone's expectation. It can be described as a bolt from the blue. This is the rhythm of changing days!
Because the versions handed down by different people are different, hualanting immediately accelerated forward. The closer it gets to the suburbs of Beijing, the more complex and diverse the rumors are.
Until the suburbs, the panic atmosphere was very strong, and many people even began to pack up and flee. Hualanting inquired around and gradually sorted out several core contents and events.
First, arrest in the middle of the night.
On the evening of the day before the formal joint trial of Qingyuan Hou in the third division, officialdom and the people were waiting to see the good play the next day.
At the third quarter of the eleventh hour, the nine gate governor's office suddenly declared martial law in the whole city, and the nine outer gates were allowed to enter and leave. However, people began to think that it was to prevent possible riots during the next day's joint trial. Although they thought it was a fuss, they didn't care too much.
Later, the atmosphere began to be wrong. Not only the people were forbidden to go out, but also the guards of the important places of the government in the capital were taken over by the army.
At this time, sensitive people have smelled abnormalities. A few well-informed people have learned that the Shenji camp and Shence camp outside the city have been transferred to the city and joined hands with the capital guard to search and arrest people in many official residences in the city.
At this time, everyone knew that things were not normal. The streets were full of fast-moving sergeants. Every family stayed closed. For a time, Zhongping city was cloudy and jittery. The melon eaters guessed what had happened.
At this time, the apparent order in the city was calm and orderly. There were quarrels and cries where people were arrested.
Secretly, the officials in the capital have been fried and disorderly. A small third of the officials have been locked in prison. Several prison rooms are overcrowded. We don't even know what they have committed. The rest are in danger. After making inquiries about each other, they are soon ordered to go home and stand by. After that, they are blocked by soldiers outside their homes and on the street and are strictly prohibited from going out.
This is the situation in the first half of the night, and in the second half of the night, there is a spring rain. Not only does the situation in the sky suddenly change, but the situation in the city suddenly turns downward.
The chaos happened.
Second, early morning rebellion.
In the second half of the night, the officials and most of the people who had not been affected had fallen asleep in fear, but they were awakened by the faint cry of killing.
Subsequently, soldiers were stationed in the homes of most officials. Officials and their families were gathered together. They were not allowed to act without authorization, and a curfew was imposed throughout the city.
At this time, resistance finally appeared in some places, and the sound of fighting was heard from time to time. In particular, there was a fire in the direction of the Imperial Palace, and the cry became louder and louder.
The rain flows on the ground, mixed with red blood. There is blood in the air, and the drizzle does not stop.
Later, there were fights of different scales everywhere in Zhongping city. Soldiers who could not distinguish the camp in the night fought in the rain. Some officials and household guards who found that the situation was wrong also began to conflict with the guards.
Zhongping, the capital of the dust Dynasty, became chaotic.
This event is called ”the change of the world of mortals” in later history.
Third, the truth.
When hualanting got the news, the incident had passed for more than a day. After the fermentation of time, some people always escaped. In addition, different forces spread through various channels or on their own initiative or after analysis and processing. The inside story of the rebellion has been partially revealed.
Yes, this is a premeditated rebellion. The protagonist is not others, it is Qingyuan Hou YUEYE!
The truth is that in order to regain power, Emperor Qingyun cleaned up the imperial platform and made a bitter plan with Qingyuan Hou YUEYE. He pretended to find evidence of Qingyuan Hou's treason and took him and his party members. By delaying time, various forces competed secretly to lure officials loyal to and loyal to the later party, centrifugal with emperor Qingyun or falling on both sides of the wall to surface. He planned to catch them all when he closed the net, Then replace them with simply drawn officials of the pro imperialist party and innocent scholars, so as to achieve the purpose of cleaning the party and consolidating imperial power, and exchange the temporary concussion between the government and the public for the situation of emperor Qingyun's monopoly of power and long-term stability of the country.
