Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 427 each with their own minds

"Is there someone from the court?"

Guo Jian stood up in a jerk.

A group of people quickly climbed up the city wall, only to see dust flying in the distance, and a group of horsemen galloping towards this side at high speed.

Many people in the city heard the news that the imperial court was coming, and many people flocked to the side of the city.

Because the rebels had already taken control of Datong, the commander-in-chief, magistrate, guerrilla and other officials were frightened and fled and hid everywhere. Datong is now in a state of anarchy.

Although Guo Jianneng said they were taking the lead, in fact they were not capable enough to lead the soldiers who rebelled in the city. To be honest, the city is still in chaos.

Zhu Zhen didn't know who had notified the court that someone was coming, so he also quickly came out of the tent and walked to the side of the city wall, but he didn't go up the city wall.

"The decree has arrived!"

"The decree has arrived!"

"The decree has arrived!"

Before the group of people reached the gate of the city, someone with a loud voice shouted loudly.

"The emperor's decree has arrived!"

The people in the city cried out in panic.

"Yes, the emperor's decree has arrived! They came so fast!"

"Captain Guo, what shall we do?"

Although Liu Zhong and the others can be regarded as small captains, because Guo Jian is smart and quick to respond, and since the incident, he has a mature and stable mind, and his father, Guo Scarzi, is among the crowd led by them, everyone gradually follows Guo Jian's lead.

"Is the emperor really here? Is the imperial decree really here?"

Guo Jian murmured in disbelief.

To be honest, the incident was forced to do so at the beginning.

The supervisor named Jia Jian not only beat the soldiers, but even the small captains of them also had to be punished with the cane, and they didn’t let them eat. The crime of beheading!
Although they said it was a big deal to surrender to Beifan, no one was willing to leave their hometown and surrender to those unknown people.

Their hope now is that the higher-ups can know the truth, define them as unjust cases, punish those officials, and give them some way out.

But they were not sure in their hearts, they killed the governor
"People in the city, come and accept the order! I am the new governor of Datong, Han Bangqi, who was sent here. I used to be a councilor in Xuanfu. You have heard my name. People, I think I have been an official for many years, and I am honest and honest, and treat my subordinates well! The emperor has learned about the mutiny in Datong, and knows that it was Zhang Jinwen who was eager to find a job and abused the soldiers, forcing everyone to lose their way of life. You have to rise up!"

"Your Majesty is righteous, and he knows everyone's hardships! The reason for the uprising was forced. The new emperor has just ascended the throne, which is related to the suffering of the common people. We already know that the Datong soldiers have not paid moon rations for more than ten years. The Emperor wanted to solve the problem of nine side treatment. It takes a little waiting, and everything will be resolved! Today, the emperor sent Mr. Li, the left servant of the Ministry of War, to read out the imperial decree, and you just listen to the decree."

Someone yelled, and the person who yelled was Han Bangqi, the counselor of the Xuanfu, who had a certain reputation in the northern army because of his integrity.

"I am Li Kun, the left servant of the Ministry of War, and I am here to announce the imperial decree by the emperor's order!"

Li Kun shouted loudly.

Li Kun, a Jinshi in the third year of Hongzhi, is now in his early fifties. He was born in a prominent family in Gaomi, and he was born in a family of military officers.

There are many Jinshi in the family, and with the help of the achievements of the ancestors, the family is active and slick in the Ministry of War, and now it is considered a high-ranking family.

After Qin Shao came to power, he cleaned up many people from Yang Ting and his faction.

The Li family can be regarded as a middle-of-the-road person who is good at showing off. Qin Shao didn't like this kind of person at first, but when the court employs people, people who take the middle path will be properly recruited and used first.

Li Kun is good at reading, he likes to write sour poems and the like, and his ability is mediocre, but because of the merits of his ancestors, his specialty is to make money, and his official luck is good. He was even promoted to the position of the left servant of the Ministry of War.

Now that something like this happened in Datong, the Ministry of War will naturally send someone there. Peng Ze has always disliked Li Kun. Knowing that this time the Ministry of War is going to someone is to announce an imperial decree, he directly recommended Li Kun, and Li Kun was so angry that he almost fainted on the spot.

It's just that he usually likes to show his mouth, and he is used at a critical moment. If he refuses, he may be slapped in the face, and their Li family often uses the Gaomi Li family to raise their own value, saying that their ancestors have left a lot of martial arts. It is even more difficult to retreat at this time. shame.

So even though Li Kun was reluctant, he had no choice but to go on the road.

But knowing that the celebrities around the emperor, Lin Tong, commander of the frontier army, and Wang Yun, commander of the Jinyiwei, followed, Li Kun's fearful heart was much more at ease.

To tell the truth, the people on the city wall are basically low-level soldiers. They have not received any imperial edicts. It is very rare for them to see the general soldier and governor of Datong.

To put it bluntly, if many people hadn't had this incident, it would be difficult for many people to understand that most of the General Military Mansion and Yamen here in Datong have lived in Tunpu all their lives. For them, the emperor is as far away as the sky. A character on the same level as a fairy.

However, for the folks, the news about the emperor spreads wildly and unstoppably among the folks.

For example, the new emperor Zhu Houxi was originally a vassal king but became the emperor. Many people have heard the rumor that Huguang Anlu Prefecture is the land of dragon veins.

Especially some time ago, the Tiangou Eclipse Day in various places.

It also happened in Datong, but the measures they took were still chasing the tengu with gongs and drums. The capital did not scare the tengu. It is even more miraculous.

The theory that the tengu eclipse is a natural phenomenon popularized in the capital has not spread to other places. The new emperor has the ability to calculate and predict the celestial phenomena in advance, but it has spread among the people.

Coupled with the changes in the imperial court, many local officials were replaced by new people. They can be regarded as the new emperor's team. The new officials took office three fires. The Son of Heaven has really established a god-like image among the people.

Such a new emperor has now sent an imperial decree, and let them accept it!

Everyone on the city wall panicked for a moment, Guo Jian and others looked at me and I looked at you, at a loss.

"The imperial decree has arrived, we should quickly kneel down to receive the decree, and see what the emperor has to say!"

A loud voice came, it was Zhu Zhen, the former general of Datong.

After all, Zhu Zhen was the commander-in-chief, and he was a well-known figure in Datong. Naturally, he had more knowledge than the group of soldiers who had never seen the world on the city wall, so he immediately ordered everyone to kneel down on the city wall to receive the order.

Of course Zhu Zhen has his own thoughts. Although it is very dangerous for him to be set up by those soldiers to fight together, it is also an opportunity for him to stand up.

He has already been imprisoned for corruption, and his career is basically over. If he can seize this opportunity, maybe he can really turn around.

But he is still an old fritter after all, and he must be skillful in grasping this kind of opportunity. If he behaves too actively, he may be considered as instigating these people to revolt, and the consequences will be serious. Not only will he die, but he will probably have to be punished. Family failed.

So, he acted as if he was reluctant, as if he was forced by these people.

But now that the imperial decree has been issued, it is natural to know what it means before deciding what to do next.

Therefore, the moment he heard the court's arrival, his heart had already risen to his throat, and he was a little more excited than Guo Jian and the others!

When everyone was in a panic, Zhu Zhen directly went up to the city wall and led the crowd to receive the decree, just to see what the decree was!
