Chapter 1596: Parade in the streets (2)
I’ve heard your question countless times. Who knows? Speaking of which, I haven’t seen Xu yinluo in the capital for a long time.
I heard that the director died in Qingzhou, and Xu yinluo was no match for the Yunzhou rebel army.
sigh, no wonder Xu yinluo is so low-key. She can’t beat him.
After venting their emotions for so many days, although the majority of the people were indignant, they had already passed the peak of their anger. They still privately cursed the court and Yunzhou’s decision to negotiate, but they were powerless to do anything.
The opposition was not as high.
Especially with the fall of Qingzhou and the arrival of the cloud state’s diplomatic mission, a series of rumors had been spreading. The people of the capital had gradually figured out the ins and outs of the matter and knew that The Guardian protector of the great Feng dynasty had died in Qingzhou.
In their eyes, the supervisor’s prestige was far inferior to Xu yinluo’s.
In the eyes of the people at the bottom of the society, a supervisor was just a title, a concept.
At this moment, the clerk standing by the notice said loudly, ”
the ancient Emperor’s priority is to protect the People’s lives. He can’t bear to harm people by raising them … Since I ascended the throne,. have not been able to rule the country well, causing the rebellion in Yunzhou, the turmoil in the nine regions, the overall situation is in danger, the people are poor, the people are in misery, I have let down my ancestors …
“The eldest Princess is very kind and magnanimous, much more than I … If the eldest Princess huaiqing were to ascend the throne, with Xu Qi ‘an’s assistance, he would be able to help the country, suppress the rebellion, and even serve the country. As you wish.”
The notice had more than 400 words. When the clerk finished reading it, the surrounding people were dumbfounded and froze in place like statues.
“What, what do you mean?”
“It seems so … The Emperor abdicated to the eldest Princess?” The person who spoke suddenly widened his eyes.
“The eldest Princess wants to be the Emperor?”
The crowd burst into an uproar.
The content of the notice had a strong impact on the people, shocking them and causing them to be at a loss.
This caused them to no longer care about the consequences of their words and to start a heated discussion.
“How can a woman be the Emperor? isn’t this just nonsense? Don’t tell me you’re going to bring an official to do embroidery?”
“Does the princess know how to read? Why did Your Majesty abdicate to the princess? isn’t a woman afraid of being laughed at by the world as an Emperor?”
Their first reaction was to resist, to be angry, to be unable to accept it. They only felt that this was the most preposterous thing in the world.
Then, someone said, ”
“Have you been listening to books in the teahouse? It seems that there was a woman who was the Emperor in the past. What, what was her name again?”
“Great Empress of the great sun?”
“Yes, yes, yes, you’ve heard of it too.”
The clamor died down for a while. It was obvious that many people had heard similar content in entertainment places such as restaurants, teahouses, brothels, and brothels.
Then, someone else said, ”
“The notice says that the eldest Princess will be enthroned with the assistance of Xu yinluo.”
Oh, he had Xu yinluo’s help.
The voices of opposition grew softer, but someone still muttered, ”
“Why would Xu yinluo help a woman become the Emperor? In the six hundred years since the founding of my great Feng, there has never been such a precedent.”
yeah, I really don’t know what the old official and Xu yinluo are thinking. They’re trying to make peace with Yunzhou while promoting the princess to be the Emperor.
“Xu yinluo is so muddleheaded.”
The people, who had originally regarded Xu Qi ‘an as a hero and protector, were disappointed in the fall of Qingzhou. They regarded the peace negotiations as a disgrace. Although no one openly accused Xu Qi’ an, they were certainly disappointed.
As soon as the notice was posted, the disappointment immediately fermented and turned into dissatisfaction.
Suddenly, a clamor attracted the attention of the people around the notice wall.
Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw a prison carriage slowly driving over, followed by a large group of civilians who kept throwing stones and spitting at the prisoners on the carriage.
There were even some who were holding toilet bowls and splashing feces at the prisoners in the prison carts.
Among the leading riders, a night watchman sat high on the horse’s back and knocked on a copper Gong as he shouted, ”
“Under the orders of Xu yinluo, we parade the rebels of Yunzhou in the streets.”
On both sides of the street, the crowd was excited. The people who heard the news came to join in the fun. Some joined the ranks of throwing stones, some pointed, cursed, and some clapped and sang. It was very satisfying.
Ji Yuan’s head was covered in blood, and his heart was like dead ashes.
The accompanying officials of Yunzhou shivered and cried bitterly.
