Chapter 19 Soft

Li Longji proclaimed himself emperor in the Wanxiang Temple in Luoyang, proclaiming himself the true emperor. The proclamation for the rebellion was passed down to regard Li Shouli, who pointed to Chang'an as a false dynasty.

They also appointed Yao Chong, Liu Youqiu, Jiang Jiao and others as prime ministers and established their own provinces and six ministries. In this way, the Chang'an court was called an illegal regime by them.

But most local governments do not recognize it. For example, the people from the Luoyang Ministry of War took the Ministry of War seal and went to Zhechong Mansion to dispatch troops, but that thing was inconsistent with the certificates in the hands of the Zhechong Mansion. The Zhechong Mansion refused to fight in accordance with the law, and no matter how you persuaded them, they would not do it.

At this time, the military system of the government was slowly declining, but it had not been completely banned, and there were still some soldiers in the Zhechong Mansion.

The Luoyang regime urgently needs to expand its strength, so naturally he wants the soldiers from many places east of the Dongdu.

But if you want to get these government soldiers, you can only be able to overthrow the local government and then dismiss the Zhechong Duwei, and set up a new official general.

After the establishment of the Li Longji regime, they did not rush to conquer local governments that were unwilling to be controlled by Luoyang. They first concentrated the Luoyang garrison and the armed forces responded by the gentry and besieged the Yellow River Dacang.

As Cheng Qianli expected, seizing the canal warehouse can not only solve the military supplies, but also prevent the grain taxes from most of the eastern part of Tongguan from being transported to the capital.

At the same time, they sent me a secret envoy and a secret envoy to try to contact the generals of Tongguan, and to plan the most important barrier in the inner road of the pass and the gateway known as the three keys.

The most obvious impact of various news coming to Chang'an was that the prices of necessities such as grain, salt and other goods began to rise.

The people in the market started to rush to shop for supplies without understanding what the situation was. There were many people following the trend, and they followed suit when they saw everyone buying.

The big households living in the city basically have land outside the city, and they can almost be self-sufficient in food. They are not worried about not being able to buy food, but they can't make salt, so they start robbing salt.

The salt from many shops in the east and west cities of Chang'an was inexplicably sold out. Some merchants realized the business opportunity and took the opportunity to raise the salt several times to more than ten times.

Even so, many people cannot buy salt with silk (textiles can be used as currency)...

This matter is quite nonsense. Li Longji's trouble in Dongdu is related to the price of salt. Two things that have nothing to do with are actually tied together.

Cui Ri, who was still in Chang'an, came back from the yamen one day and saw half of the house piled up salt. He was furious and found his wife Jia, who asked her when she would eat it after getting so much salt.

Jia said: Everyone said that they could not buy it with money in two days. Manager Liang said he wanted to pay more silver and save more salt, so I did not object.

Cui Ri frowned and said: Everyone said that Niba can be eaten as food, so do you eat Niba?!

He looked around and whispered: Don’t you want to avenge our Mo'er?Is it planned to stay in Chang'an for ten or eight years if I bought so much salt?

Jia was speechless.

Cui Riyong asked her to walk inside together, and explained: Clean up the fine and soft things in the evening, don’t have too many things, let’s leave the city early tomorrow morning.

Go...where to go?Jia felt very sudden.

Cui Riyong glared and said: Where else can you go?Go back to Henan and do big things with Sanlang!

Cui Riyong has made up his mind for a long time. Only by following Li Longji can he have some way out!

Wang Shaoyin, who returned to Jingzhao Mansion last time, leaked the inside story of Cui Mo's case. This person was unpredictable, just because he was afraid that Xue Chongxun would do whatever he wanted...

Cui Riyong felt that instead of handing over his fate to others, it would be better to give up with Li Longji.

At this time, Jia asked: Do you want to notify the people from the Jia family?

Don’t reveal the news for the time being. Let’s go back first to avoid the long night and dreams.

The old couple didn't sleep well that night. Jia packed up a lot of things, all of which were very valuable. She couldn't bear to leave them, and thought to herself that as soon as the master left, the servants in the mansion would not steal everything secretly?

On the contrary, Cui Riyong was very straightforward and brought two clothes to change her clothes, then took a sword, and even packed it up.

Before dawn the next morning, Cui Ri started to use it and saw Jia having made a big box in the room, full of it. He immediately said angrily: Who can move such a box?

Jia said: Isn’t there anyone in the mansion?

Cui Riyong cursed: What a woman thinks!Do you think we are returning home in glory?In the current situation, the more people you bring, the easier it is to be discovered. I will take He San and his son to take care of him on the road. No one else can go out in a while. I guess the city gate will be opened and you will leave the city!

As he said, he picked up a bottle from the box and threw it on the ground, and it immediately cracked.

Seeing this, Jia reached out to protect him and said in pain: This bottle is worth two thousand pieces of silk!

All lost!Do you have gold jewelry? Put it with you and don’t even need silver ones!

Cui Riyong said angrily, "Didn't I buy you a lot of gold jewelry before?"Bring those things up, the sun rises when you are so busy, alas, can't you let me save some snacks?

After fiddling for a while, Cui Riyong called the two confidant servants, and finally took Xiaoruan from the back door to Yanxingmen east of Chang'an.

I heard the rumbling drums halfway through the way. The city gate was already open. It would be better if I got up earlier...

But it's not too late now. The streets are still dark and the sky hasn't let go.

Cui’s mansion is in the north of Chang’an. It was originally going to leave the city from the east to get to Chunmingmen, because Chunmingmen is next to Xingqingfang and is near the north; while Yanxingmen is in the south, a long way.

But now the two sons of Princess Taiping's brothers, the Wu family, live in Xingqingfang. Cui Riyong, who was afraid that he would be recognized by his acquaintance, would rather take a detour to Yanxingmen.

Cui Riyong had an official position, and no one stopped him from wherever he went. He walked out of the city gate smoothly. He breathed a sigh of relief and called the slave to rush the way.

At this moment, the carriage did not speed up, but stopped. Cui Riyong cursed: Hurry up, why are you doing parking?

The slave's voice was a little strange: Alang read it himself...

When Cui Ri stretched out his head with the car curtain and looked at it, he was shocked and saw seven or eight burly men riding horses standing in the middle of the road. The man in the middle was Xue Chongxun!

When Xue Chongxun saw Cui Riyong stretching out his head, he immediately clasped his fists and said: Early in the morning, where is Mr. Cui going?

Cui Riyong's cold sweat directly wet her clothes, and she insisted on calming herself and said: The cost of the mansion has been tight recently, so I went to Yongyetian to check the business.

Xue Chongxun said coldly: There are so many official duties in Beijing recently, so Mr. Cui is interested in taking care of his own acre of three-point land?Today is not a festival, so don’t you pay for it in the yamen?

He spoke badly, and Cui Riyong also lowered his face: Shouldn’t the King of Hedong be involved in these matters?

Xue Chongxun was too lazy to talk nonsense, and immediately said: I think you brought Xiruan to the Henan Road and follow Li Sanlang to rebel together?

When the matter was about to come, Cui Riyong's heart had fallen into the ice cellar, but he would not admit it until the last moment. King of Hedong, you can eat whatever you want, and you can't talk nonsense!What do you mean?He swears!

Just check your luggage and you will know that when you go to the village or visit relatives and friends, it is impossible to bring a lot of money.Xue Chongxun shouted, "Come on, search for me!"

Cui Riyong said anxiously: King of Hedong, don’t forget that I am the dignified Huangmen of the Tang Dynasty. Who has the right to search for me?What do you want to do!

Xue Chongxun waved his hand and said: I have the right.

Cui Riyong cursed: I am still the Minister of the Yellow Sect of the Tang Dynasty. What power do you have? Why?

Xue Chongxun said coldly: I am now young and strong, you can't resist.

The subordinates rushed forward and drove the groom down, then opened the car door and pulled Cui Riyong down, and then pulled his inner servant Jia.

Cui Riyong cursed when he saw this: I must have written a letter to impeach him, and he is lawless. Except for the orders issued by the emperor, who can search Cui's car and be frivolous to his family?

A strong man snatched a large wooden box from Jia's arms. After opening it, everyone's eyes lit up, and they saw that there were jewelry made of gold, pearls and jade, and gems.

Fang Yuzhong took the box and presented it to Xue Chongxun. Xue Chongxun grabbed a handful and stuffed it into Fang Yuzhong's arms: Let's break up with everyone.

Jia was stunned: Why should we share our things? Your King of Hedong is a bandit robber?

She was shocked just now. When she saw the property was robbed, she had the courage to speak, but when she spoke, Cui Riyong was already dejected and silent. Look at the current situation, it is useless to say anything.

Xue Chongxun said: Fortunately, my people have watched Mr. Cui, otherwise I would let you go out of Beijing and return to Henan. How powerful is your Cui family in the local area? Isn’t it a big deal to add fuel to Li Sanlang’s fire?

Cui Riyong said: Whatever you like, I have nothing to say after I handed me over to the Censorate, how can I convict me?

Xue Chongxun pondered: Just searching for your property, but these jewelry, gold and silver are your own things and cannot be used as evidence. How can you convict?Once it is made public, it is not easy for the Censorate to treat you with false charges, otherwise it will not cause panic?It seems that I am the only one who is the evil man to take you privately.

Cui Riy-Yun glanced at the sword still in the car. Xue Chongxun followed his gaze and couldn't help but smile: What?Still need to use force in front of me?

Xue Chongxun was already very stressed when he was tall and riding a tall horse. Moreover, everyone who knew him in Beijing knew that he was a martial artist, and it was useless to play with him with swords and guns.

Tied!

With Xue Chongxun's order, the men rushed up and tied Cui RiYan and his wife and the two slaves together with the ropes to the carriage, blocking their mouths.

Then everyone rushed to the city gate with the carriage.

At this moment, Cui Riyong is probably the only thing worthy of Xingqing is to send his children out of Chang'an in advance, otherwise he would be unable to settle down in the chaos now.
