back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 973 Here Comes a New Customer
After experiencing the carnival, Chang'an returned to its former calm.

People in Chang'an can do whatever they want, but they have a few more things to talk about in their spare time.

And the storyteller in the restaurant and tea shop also made this battle into a story, and even the loyal general Zhu Daguang was rendered into a generation of famous generals, who will last forever.Inside the Goulan tile shop, the style of extravagance has also changed, and it has become an iron horse.Most of the choreographed dramas are also related to battle formations.

The Han people are actually very martial, otherwise they would not have developed from the Yellow River and Yangtze River basins to the current territory.It's just that the ruler is in peace and does not think about danger. He is afraid that this martial spirit will overthrow the rule, so this martial spirit is castrated.Especially in Dashun, the literati in the Han Dynasty can be said to have both civil and military skills; but the literati in Dashun at this moment are mostly scholars who have no strength to restrain a chicken.

This kind of morbid beauty has actually become an aesthetic standard, it can be said that time has changed.

But now it is different. More and more scholars realize that it is very dangerous for literati not to understand martial arts.

As a result, all kinds of martial arts schools have sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain.In Chang'an City, there are probably no less than a hundred of them.Various schools of martial arts are also confusing, such as Ditang Dao, Guoshou, Taizu Changquan, Shaolin Boxing, Shangqing Gong... They are very distinctive, and most of the apprentices accepted by the martial arts are literati.

The fashion at this time also changed. If a literati does not hold a folding fan, carry a sword at his waist, and wear a Confucian robe, he is not a literati.

Literati who have no power to restrain a chicken are no longer welcome.

In fact, this is also related to social changes. In the past, the poor people in Dashun didn't even have enough to eat. How could they practice martial arts?It is different now, with the big granary in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Grand Canal, Zhidao, Chidao, official roads, post roads and other ways to transport grain, the grain in Jiangnan is sold north and south.Not only is the price of food reasonable, but the people can eat enough to eat. There are even more poultry and livestock, and no matter how poor they are, they can afford to buy eggs to eat.

It is said that poor literature is rich in martial arts, and learning literature does not consume energy, so it is "poor literature".But practicing martial arts is very energy-intensive, and it is impossible to practice ugly Yinmao if you don't eat enough.Previously, the poor literati in Dashun couldn't even afford food, so how could they have spare money to learn martial arts?
It is different now, the whole Dashun is full of opportunities, as long as you are willing to work hard and sell your knowledge, you will be able to eat well.

The people who were full were thinking about finding something to do.It seems that learning martial arts has become a logical choice.

Of course, this has also suffered from the yamen in various places, and the number of criminal cases of troubles and fights has increased day by day, causing county officials in various places to complain.However, common people have restraint in fighting, most of them are with bare hands, and it is rare to actually kill people.After all, "The Law of the Great Shun" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the concept of killing people to pay their lives and debts and money has long been known to the common people.There's no point in taking two lives for one thing, is it?
Su Shi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, felt this, and played Lu Chengqi, and passed a law that, whenever there was a fight, both parties should be fined two pennies, and the party involved could be whipped twenty times.

As soon as this criminal law provision came out, there were far fewer similar cases.

Rich people don't care about the two pennies, but twenty whips are a big problem.

Those who beat the board in the yamen are specially "practiced". If the county magistrate annoys you for causing trouble and hits you with [-] boards severely, he will probably break his tendons and bones, and his internal organs will be damaged.Let alone practicing martial arts in the future, even standing up will be a problem!
Feeling this, the folk customs are clear.

Although it is impossible to prevent trouble-seeking and seeking revenge, there are far fewer fights and knives after all.

More than a month later, without the knowledge of the people in Chang'an, more than ten people were escorted by the imperial army, from the post road to Shanglinyuan.

"here is……?"

asked a rough man dressed in common people's sackcloth.

"Here? It's where the emperors of various countries are detained. You can be regarded as a party figure. His Majesty also thinks highly of you, and let you spend the rest of your life here!" A guard officer said with a sneer. His subordinates killed many of his colleagues. .If His Majesty hadn't wanted to save his life by name, he would have fought for his life long ago.He really didn't understand, what's the use of these people, they still have to stay in the manor next to Shanglin Garden!
"What did you say?!"

A big man got angry and wanted to do something, but was stopped by the man: "What are you doing?"

The head of the imperial guards wanted him to do it, so he could have an excuse to beat them up.As far as fists and kicks are concerned, the forbidden soldiers who have received strict training have really never been afraid of anyone.Although the Jurchens are very powerful, they are only on horseback. On the surface, they may not be able to rule the world.Who doesn't know that Dashun's pawns are invincible?One-on-one with the Forbidden Army on the ground, it may not be possible for the Jurchens to win.

"There is nothing to say about winning and losing. If I lose, I have to accept it." The bearded man said lonely.

He still wanted to do a big business, but before he could realize his ambition, Dashun poured cold water on him and extinguished his ambition.Does he resent?Resentment, but this is something that can't be helped, Jurchen is weak, Dashun is strong.The law of the jungle has always been the law of the jungle.The Jurchens have been fishing and hunting for generations, so they naturally understand this truth.

Skills are inferior to others, what else can be done besides admitting defeat and surrendering?
Fortunately, some of the blood of the Wanyan clan can still be preserved. Even if they are under house arrest until they die of old age, it will be worth it.

This group of people is exactly Wanyan Xilibo, Wanyan Xie and others.

Wanyan impeached Libo when he heard that Yelu Hongji was here, he couldn't wait to see him: "Can I go in now?"

"You can do it at any time, but if you think about it clearly, you can go in, but if you want to come out, you will have to live in your next life, you know?" the head of the guards said playfully.

"Do I still have a choice?" Wanyan Libo said lightly, and after finishing speaking, he dragged the young Wanyan Agu into the manor.

"Humph!"

Wanyan impeacher snorted angrily, and also dragged his son Wanyan Sagai into the manor.

The head of the forbidden army sneered from behind and said: "It's cheap for you. You can eat, wear and live here, and you don't have to work. You can enjoy your old age in peace! But, remind you, every five days, you will be called according to the picture album. If one person is missing, everyone will be killed, you know?"

Wanyan impeached Libo to suppress the anger in his heart, and walked forward without looking back.He has long been mentally prepared. If he is defeated, he will face endless ridicule and sarcasm. Compared with other gossip, this is the lightest.

"Second brother, can you bear this?"

Wanyan Xizhe clenched his fists and said bitterly.

"Otherwise, what do you want?" Wanyan Libo said flatly, "A Guda and Sagai are still young, do you want Wanyan's blood to be cut off?"
