Chapter 560 The people who should come have already come
The wind and snow in Songzhou finally stopped the night before the Duanmu'an National Birthday Banquet. Feng Yuheng sat alone in the house and looked out the window. But he saw that every household on the street was decorated with lights and the birthday party was approaching. The people of the North were like having two festivals together, so it was naturally lively. Even the pedestrians who came and went to greet each other with fists, and everyone was filled with joy.
Feng Yuheng knew that no matter whether the northern border is returned to Qianzhou or Dashun, there was no change for the people, and they even hoped to be under Qianzhou's jurisdiction. After all, the three provinces in the northern border were originally snatched by Dashun from Qianzhou people back then. These people still had Qianzhou's blood in their bones. No matter how good Dashun was to them, he could never break the roots.
The Lu couple finally understood the guards guarding the gate and took them to the Dutong Mansion. Feng Yuheng narrowed his eyes slightly and lay on the window, like a lazy cat. But if someone could see her eyes, he would find that the cat's eyes were so sharp that it was as sharp as a cheetah.
She knew that if the Lu couple could meet Ruimu Anguo successfully, they would probably succeed. Although she didn't know what the birthday gift the couple brought to Duanmu Anguo, the look that Lu Tong looked at her from time to time in the past two days was decided by the matter of sending her to the Duanmu Anguo.
There was no meal tonight, and the Lu couple went out, and she was the only one left in the room. The inn would not send food to a servant. This is the human rights under the feudal system. Feng Yuheng always thought that if one day, if she had the ability, she still hoped that even if this era was still a monarch, she could at least raise human rights to a relative height and make the greatest change in slavery.
Feng Yuheng always believed that people should be equal. Although background and personal abilities determine the ultimate quality of life, at least there should be no restraints in spirit and body. However, this idea is too ideal for people of this era. Even if she wants to do it, it is impossible for her to carry out a large-scale development all at once. Feng Yuheng thought that after a matter of one thousand weeks was resolved, she wanted to go to the fiefdom of Ji'an County to take a look, and perhaps she could have some experimental actions there.
She temporarily abandoned the distracting thoughts that were not formed in her mind, got up and closed the windows and doors, and then went into the space to eat. When she finished a bowl of hot noodles and came out, the Lu couple still did not come back, but there seemed to be some abnormal movement in the inn.
Feng Yuheng walked to the door and listened. The messy but powerful footsteps came out. From downstairs to upstairs, he went up the second floor in a short while. After coming up, he stood at the entrance of the stairs but did not move. After a while, he heard the voice of the inn shopkeeper: "Official, there are people in every room. Except for the distant relative of the Great Duke who went to the Duke Palace, no one else went out."
The official said "happy", then coughed twice, and said loudly: "Everyone in the house listened to it. Tomorrow is the birthday of Lord Duanmu, the commander of our three northern provinces. The commander said that, thank you for traveling thousands of miles to the northern border. In order to avoid too many visitors from the governor's palace tomorrow, today, I will send us to take away the birthday gifts prepared by you. You can travel lightly tomorrow!"
As soon as this said, the people in the room could no longer sit still and opened the door to go out to ask, but the guards who were originally guarding the doors of each house immediately crossed the sword in their hands and said in unison: "Go back!"
Feng Yuheng also opened the door, but did not walk out, but just stood in the door and watched. He saw that the man standing at the entrance of the stairs was a middle-aged man, tall and big, with a beard on his face, and his eyes were staring at a copper bell, showing his fierce look. He said he was here to receive congratulations, but if this man met him outside, he would probably think he was a disaster.
It turns out that not only Feng Yuheng has this idea, but most of the others are like her. There is even a quick-talking lady who has already expressed her thoughts in her heart - "Are you from the General Administration? Why do you look like a bandit? It's said that there are many thieves in the northern border, so don't be a liar."
As soon as these words were said, people immediately shouted. After all, someone came to receive the gifts in advance before the birthday party came, and he was so rude that anyone would have to question it.
But when the strong man heard this, he looked even more fierce. He raised the long sword in his hand and shouted directly at the lady who had just spoken, "I am one of the eight powerful generals under the command of the Great Commander. I dare to question it. Be careful that I cut your tongue!"
The lady was shocked, but she still didn't do anything in her heart, so she said again: "I am the legitimate lady in the prefecture of Ganzhou. My father is a court official. What qualifications do you have to talk to me like this?"
Someone took the lead and opened the breakthrough. The officials, wives and ladies on this floor immediately reported their homes. When Feng Yuheng heard this, he said, "Okay, there are prefectures, prefecture ministers, magistrates like the Lu family, magistrates, magistrates, commanders, and even two prefectures." In short, except for the officials in Beijing, there are basically people from other prefectures.
It is said that the Duanmu family not only booked this inn, but also had two other in the same size. It can be seen that there are quite a lot of people coming to the Northern Realm this time. This is the situation after the capital was informed of the movement. If it were in the past, I was afraid that the New Year of the Northern Realm would be more lively than the Beijing city! Even those officials in Beijing who are qualified to enter the palace to attend the New Year banquet will send their families to the Northern Realm. The Duanmu family has made a lot of money every year.
As these officials showed their identities one by one, they thought they could calm the bearded man, but they didn't expect that they would snort coldly - "Hmph! The official who is big in sesame and green beans really takes himself seriously? You don't think about what you came to the North Realm? If you didn't have the intention of currying favor with our generals, you wouldn't be at home for the New Year, why are you here? If you come, don't pretend to be garlic. The North Realm will not eat your tricks!"
Feng Yuheng shrugged and smiled. He was right! He came to the northern border, but he was not satisfied with his current situation. He wanted to take this opportunity to get some relationship with the Duanmu family so that he could reach a higher level in his career. He became a bitch. Why did he build a archway?
For a moment, every household stayed and stopped talking. But the bearded man had not finished his words. He heard him take the long knife in his hand back into the sheath with a "swish" and say something that shocked everyone - "There is something that I will tell you before the birthday party of the Great Metropolis. I don't know yet? The three northern provinces, including Guanzhou, Songzhou and Jiangzhou, had already declared themselves out of the jurisdiction of Dashun a few months ago. Now, we are the three southern provinces of Qianzhou Kingdom."
"What?" Everyone was stunned. The three northern border provinces of Dashun became the three southern border provinces of Qianzhou? When did this happen?
"Impossible!" Someone raised a question, "If the Northern Realm had voted for a thousand Zhou, Dashun would definitely send troops to suppress it, and it would never be possible for the Northern Realm to rebel abroad so easily."
"Yes!" Someone said again: "How could the court not issue a notice for such a big thing? We have never even heard of it. This matter must be fake! What is the purpose of making up such a lie?"
Feng Yuheng leaned against the door, wrapped his arms around his chest, watching the farce in front of him like a spectator. Beijie did not speak for himself, obviously he did not intend to continue pretending. They chose this time, just after the last room of this inn was checked in. Duanmu Anguo's birthday party will be tomorrow, and so far, all the ones that should be visited have come.
"I'm lying to you?" The bearded man said in a cold voice, "Who is so full that he can lie to people about traitors? You are all officials, why are you not as smart as me?" He said with extreme contempt, and even the soldiers and generals following him burst into laughter, making these Dashun officials blush.
People began to communicate in a low voice, and finally realized a key issue: they rebel against the enemy in the northern border, and they actually came to celebrate the birthday of Duanmu Anguo. What is this called? Is it aiding the evil?
The bearded man glanced at the officials coldly, with disdain on his face. When people's discussions became louder, he knocked the scabbard in his hand on the ground a few times to remind people to be quiet.
After a while, someone finally asked the idea: "This general, tell me, what is the purpose of coming here? It is absolutely impossible to just accept a birthday gift!"
The bearded man nodded with satisfaction, "I'm pretty smart. Since I asked, I'll tell you directly. I'll see you here this time. I'm going to send a message to you for our general. Dashun had suppressed the northern border and returned to Qianzhou before and did not tell the world. But after you entered the northern border, the Dashun court had already started an action. I believe that you can guess what this action is. That's right, it's your family. Dashun has already attacked your family one by one. Even when I came, I heard that in another inn separated from here, the whole family of a prefect had been executed."
hiss!
Everyone took a breath of air. If they said they were just worried before, then the news would completely bring a sense of danger.
The timid lady and lady had already sat down on the ground and cried in tears. Even officials were crying loudly, shouting that they were sorry for their mother and ancestors.
The bearded man looked bored and waved his hand: "Don't shout! Listen to me! We can all understand your mood. The Grand Duanzhu has sent countless Jingwei to Dashun in order to save all your family from the Dashun court. As long as you stay in the Northern Realm with peace of mind, the Duanmu family can guarantee that you, including your family, will definitely have no worries about your life. The Northern Realm will do your best to ensure your safety. Of course, if you want to leave, you can leave now, but if you think about the consequences, as long as you walk out of the Songzhou city gate, the Northern Realm will no longer be responsible for your family. Even if you have been rescued, you will immediately hand it over to the Dashun official government."
As soon as these words were said, who would dare to take them away? The matter was forced to do so. Only when they stayed in the northern border could they have a chance to survive. Only when they stayed in the northern border could they save their family's lives.
