There were no rebels at all, just music playing outside the palace wall...

The two princesses who screamed first were so frightened that they almost flew away, their minds went blank, and they knelt down with a pop.

This kneeling seemed to wake everyone up. In a short time, everyone in the hall was kneeling on the ground, shouting for forgiveness.

The emperor did not say anything, but stared coldly at the royal family members.

Yuan Yong thought the emperor was waiting for him to kneel down too, his knees were bent, and then he heard Yuan Ke sigh softly: "Uncle, now you know why I don't allow you to be released, but you have to stay in the capital?"

”

Yuan Yong thought about it for a moment and understood in an instant: Because you are all a group of people with no talent, no virtue, no courage and no ability, I have no choice but to do this...

Not only was he not annoyed, but he was secretly delighted: He was a prince, inferior to one person and superior to tens of thousands of people, but he did not dare to rebel and became emperor. What could he do with such strong talent and courage?

Only those without courage and incompetence can live long...

He bowed his head: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Seeing Yuan Yong taking it for granted, Yuan Ke was speechless.

Looking at the pile of people kneeling on the ground, there was panic and fear, but there was no trace of shame. Yuan Ke was helpless.

Clan members who are talented, virtuous, courageous, knowledgeable, and loyal are either shepherds and guardians of one area, or they are responsible for the security of an area. They are all selected and used by themselves. It is these who are unfit for use that are treated like cystic worms.

If you are raised in Beijing, why should you be demanding?

When I thought of this, there was no trace of anger left in my heart, and I just felt helpless, not to mention that I was too lazy to pursue the crime of "disrespect before the emperor" of these clans. Yuan Ke waved his hand in frustration: "Forget it, everyone get up!

”

A group of men and women expressed their gratitude and all stood up.

Hearing a noise outside the palace, Liu Fang, the eunuch of the minister, Cui Guang, the minister's order, Wang Xian, the lieutenant of the imperial censor, Zhen Chen, the doctor, and Yu Zhong, the leading general (commander of the imperial army), etc., ran in in a panic.

These few people were all on duty in the side hall. When they heard the commotion and the sound of escorts in the main hall, they thought that the emperor had been assassinated, and they were all scared to death. No matter how calm they were in the past, they all used up all their strength to go to the main hall.

Run quickly.

Yu Zhong was originally a military attache, while Wang Xian and Zhen Chen were capable of both literary and military skills. They had both led armies and fought in battles, and were very strong. However, the two old men were purely civil servants. Coupled with their age, they almost died.<

/p>

They are all human beings. Seeing that all the clans in the palace have resentful expressions on their faces, and the emperor's face is full of ruthlessness, these few people have already guessed that a group of princes, princes, and kings were beaten by a few drums.

Shocked?

Liu Fang hugged a bunch of county princes and hugged their fists, and these few came closer to the emperor. After waiting for a long time to catch his breath, Liu Fang respectfully asked: "Your Majesty...are you okay?"

"It's just a few drums, what can happen to me?"

Yuan Ke sighed sadly, "That's all, this wine really doesn't taste very good. Come with me to the city..."

Is the emperor going to climb the city wall to watch the excitement?

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

If it were in the past, he would definitely have to give some advice. But at this time, Yuan Ke was clearly in a state of anger, and he knew that it was best to calm down first, otherwise something would definitely happen, so no one dared to accept the advice.

Only Cui Guang tried to persuade him tactfully: "If the drums and drums are beating together, the city will be in a panic, and there will be nothing to see..."

After ten years as king and minister, they have known each other for a long time. Yuan Ke smiled coldly: "I have already known about Zhi Jinwu and Yu Lin, and sent Xuanyi (Yuan Yue) and Li Xian to watch under the city. If it disturbs the people, the drums should be stopped early.

How could it be played so intensely? You just don’t want me to watch it, right?"

How could Cui Guang recognize it? He quickly lowered his head and said, "I never meant this!"

After accusing him of the crime, he simply handed over to Yu Zhongyi and said: "Please also invite Duke Wei to show off!"

Yuan Ke waved his hand impatiently: "I'm just going to the city, and I'm not leaving the palace. What's the point of showing off? You can just obey!"

Gao Zhan said that today he would only be able to play five or six pieces at most, so Yuan Ke knew that if he waited for Wang Yilu to start playing, he would probably finish the performance early.

Thinking in his mind, he stood up and walked out.

Yu Zhong didn't panic at all. After a few shouts, a group of guards quickly climbed onto the city wall.

It really wasn't the emperor's whim. Yu Zhong had already been informed by Liu Teng that His Majesty might be visiting the city today, so he was asked to make preparations in advance.

Without it, Liu Teng had some guesses when Yuan Ke told Gao Zhan to place the bandstand under Jin Yong City a few days ago.

The emperor may just want to listen nearby, but when he is provoked by a group of clan members, he gets angry...

Yuan Ke said that he should be simple and obedient, and the ministers had no choice but to be simple and obedient. Afraid of disturbing the people in the city, Yuan Ke did not let the Huangmen open the canopy, but just held up an ordinary big umbrella.

From the bottom of the city, at most it seems that there are more defenders on the city tower.

This delay lasted for more than a moment. Three pieces of music had been played on the stage, and there was a pause in the middle. The platform, which was more than ten feet wide, was actually crowded with spectators.

Under the stage, ice trucks along the official road were all on sale, and there was a long queue in front of each truck.

It seems very simple: cut the big ice into small pieces, and after a few hammer blows, you will get a pile of crushed ice. Then use a shovel to put it into a bowl, and then pour some melted caramel water, and you will have a bowl of smoothie.

The big bowl is huge, definitely no smaller than an adult's head, so one bowl is sold for one penny. Or it may be divided into three small bowls, but it is not sold retail, and it is still three bowls for one penny.

There was no way, the emperor only accepted copper coins, and one coin was enough to exchange for two kilograms of millet, which was enough to feed a small family of three for a day. For fear of offending his conscience, Li Chengzhi had no choice but to sell it like this.

But it was so popular that even after one bowl was not enough, I came to buy the second and third bowls.

From time to time, the ice truck along the street will send out a whistle that it is about to be sold out, and immediately a carriage transporting ice will drive out of Wujiguan, south of the official road, and deliver it to wherever there is shortage.

Seeing the endless stream of buyers, it was very lively. Yuan Ke's heart moved. He looked at Yuan Yong and Yuan Yi and said with a warm smile:

"Xuanyi (Yuan Yue) begged several times and said that he would take care of the business. I was afraid that he would be impatient, so he never agreed. But if the emperor's uncle and Xuanren (Yuan Yi) are interested, they can find a son later.

Cheng Xiangshang..."

Although Yuan Yong is timid, he is absolutely outstanding in thinking and wisdom, otherwise he would never be the only one among Xiaowen's brothers to survive.

As soon as he heard the emperor's words, he guessed 70% to 80%: the emperor was thinking of himself and Yuan Yi for protecting him just now, and wanted to reward him!

The implication is that this business is definitely worth it!

But it seems quite labor-intensive, can you really make money?

If you really don’t want to make money, just find an excuse to reject Gao Zicheng...

Thinking about it in his heart, Yuan Yong responded quickly: "I thank your Majesty!"

Yuan Yi, like him, agreed wholeheartedly.

Seeing this, Liu Fang and Cui Guang looked at each other and nodded slightly.

To be honest, the emperor was very good to the clan. How frugal he was, but how extravagant were Yuan Yong, Yuan Chen and others?

What a good guy, are you actually setting up a gold mountain to fight for wealth by the Luoshui River?

Wang Yuanchen of Hejian held a banquet at his home and entertained hundreds of guests, and there were only two beautiful maidservants serving the wine. If you see someone right, you can’t do it without taking them away...

But the emperor never had any evil thoughts. Even if Yuan Yong, Yuan Yi, Yuan Yue, etc. offered their contributions, he never accepted them.

The reason why he was so ruthless in the early years was that the late emperor was too kind and his uncles were used to being domineering. Naturally, they bullied the young emperor and acted without any scruples.

However, Qia Qia forgot that as soon as the emperor ascended the throne, he was in a state of panic and at the height of his suspicion, even if he could dream up three-foot waves, how could he endure a group of princes supporting their troops and respecting themselves, and sometimes refusing to do so?

Behavior that is not subject to the imperial edict?

Not to mention seven, seventy are not enough to kill...

After sighing for a long time, Liu Fang and Cui Guang put away their thoughts and looked down attentively when they heard a very loud suona sound coming from the city.

At this time, the ministers discovered that there was a high ladder on each side of the platform. Perhaps they were afraid of violating the rules and did not dare to set it high, only more than two feet.

"In addition to gold? Gongs and drums, there are also flags?"

All the princes were surprised, "There is such a way to play music?"

Yuan Ke was a little impatient and waved his hand lightly: "Silence, just listen!"

Cui Guang and others were all speechless: It was obvious at first glance that he was an ignorant and incompetent person. How could he not know that there was joy in battle in the army?

Cui Tingbo, a famous general in the dynasty, who was as famous as Xi Kangsheng and Yang Dayan, was the best at the art of formation music. Whenever he faced the battle, he would have gold, drum, Jia, and Ruan play in unison to boost the morale of the soldiers and strengthen the military's power.

Cui Tingbo also personally composed the "Song of the Strong Soldiers" and "Xiang Yu Yin" for the formation music, which must be played in every battle. He was victorious in every battle and never lost. Therefore, he was praised by His Majesty as "Cui Le General"...
p>

The band stage is only about ten steps away from the city wall, so the view of the city is very real. First, you hear the sound of the suona on the high ladder on the left, and then the bright red flag on the right is waved.

No more, no less, exactly three breaths, the four drums beat at the same time, four times in a row.

Even if there is an order in the army, only one drum is needed. At this time, there are four drums beating together. How loud is the sound?

It was like four thunderbolts exploding, and Yuan Ke felt that his eardrums were itchy from the shock.

Just as he was about to stretch out his fingers and scratch it, the sound of the drum suddenly stopped, and the sound of Ruan Qin and Pipa sounded again on the stage.

Just like the rain hitting the banana trees, it is dense, fast, and passionate, and a chilling air rushes towards you, as if there are really thousands of troops galloping and fighting in front of you.

Yuan Ke only felt a numbness in his tailbone, and a numbness spread throughout his body.

All the ministers were shocked and chilled!
