After Chang Sheng said this, everyone looked happy. They had been busy for a long time and rarely had a chance to recover and breathe. They were really exhausted both physically and mentally and in urgent need of rest.
"Your Majesty, when will we leave?" Datou asked.
"Don't worry, we have to stay in Chang'an for a few more days," Chang Sheng said. "No matter how rich the Ni family is, they can't afford to go in and out. At the moment, the Western Region's convoy is still in Chang'an. I have to discuss it with Wu Yusheng. Let’s see if the convoy can bring something back.”
After nodding, Da Tou asked, "How long do you think it will take for us to go out?"
Changsheng said, "The rare beasts and heavenly materials and treasures recorded in the Great Wilderness Chronicles are scattered throughout the Nine Provinces. It would take at least a year and a half to explore them one by one. But now we can't afford to delay for such a long time. We can only If we can pick out those things that may be of benefit to us, let’s tentatively wait for one month, one month at most.”
"Okay, okay, one month is enough," Datou said, raising his hand and pointing eastward, "My lord, you haven't seen the princess for a long time. Do you want to go to Luoyang to meet her first?"
Seeing that Changsheng was silent, Datou said again, "How about we go over and invite her over?"
"No need," Changsheng frowned and waved his hand, "Other people with magic talismans can also sense our whereabouts. They know where we have been. We must be more careful no matter where we go in the future to avoid being figured out by them."
After Chang Sheng said this, everyone nodded.
Datou drained his teacup, stood up from his seat, "Your Majesty, if you have nothing else to do, I have to go out. I haven't done the things that the black bear spirit told me yet."
"When will you come back?" Changsheng asked casually.
Datou replied, "Before sunrise tomorrow."
After saying that, Yang Kai stood up and said, "I also want to go to Mount Tai."
"I have been to Mount Tai, and I will send you there." Yu Yi said.
Big head glared and asked, "Why don't you send me off?"
"I don't know where you are going." Yu Yi said casually.
After Datou curled his lips and left, Yu Yi walked to an open space and crossed his arms to break open the Void Mysterious Gate and send Yang Kai away.
It was hot in the afternoon, so the three of them went back to their rooms to take a nap.
Everyone had been sleeping in the open with the grain team before and had not had a good rest. This time they finally relaxed and fell asleep quickly after lying down.
I don't know how long it took, Chang Sheng was awakened by the yelling coming from outside the gate. After sitting up and listening carefully, he found that there were quite a few people yelling and cursing from outside the gate, at least five or six. They scolded him for being hypocritical and trying to win people's hearts, and said They are not people who are greedy for life and afraid of death. They would rather live in pieces than live in ruins. They will never associate with treacherous ministers and cruel officials like him. As long as they have a breath, they will speak out and remonstrate.
After listening for a while, Changsheng knew what he was thinking. Before leaving the banquet, he had asked the emperor for mercy and released the civil servants and officials who were imprisoned. Although he did not expect the other party to accept his mercy, he did not expect that these guys would actually They came to the door and started shouting and protesting from the door.
Just when Changsheng was thinking about how to deal with these officials who repaid evil with kindness, he suddenly sensed that Yu Yi was moving quickly outside the door. Worried that Yu Yi would kill him in pain, Changsheng hurriedly got up and got off the ground and walked out quickly.
Facts have proved that Chang Sheng's worries are not unnecessary. By the time he rushes to the door, Yu Yi has already raised his eyebrows and drawn his sword, ready to take action.
Seeing this situation, Changsheng hurriedly spoke out to stop him. Although he had a long-standing conflict with the civil servants, the murder of Shifang'an and Yu Yi's assassination of Qian Zhonglin were the reasons for the complete enmity between the two parties. Not only the civil servants hated Yu Yi, but Yu Yi also Hate them all too.
There were five civil servants shouting and cursing at the gate of the palace. They were still wearing white prison uniforms. Needless to say, they had all just been released from prison. When Chang Sheng appeared and called Yu Yi, these civil servants not only did not restrain themselves, but intensified their behavior. He shouted loudly and said that they were all loyal ministers with integrity and would never follow the crowd and lose their moral integrity as scholars.
At this time, a large number of onlookers had gathered outside the palace. They heard the noble words of the civil servants and whispered to each other, admiring the character and integrity of the civil servants.
There is an idiom called grandstanding. These civil servants come to the door to yell and scold, which is grandstanding. They were previously tied up and taken outside the city to be executed, and then they were demoted and retained in their posts. They undoubtedly lost their face. They came to the door to yell at them in order to get back their dignity. The face that was previously lost was used to gain fame and reputation while sensationalizing.
The reason why these civil servants dared to do this was undoubtedly because they relied on the large number of people and believed that the law could not rule the masses. At the same time, they also felt that he had just been awarded the title of loyal king, held a high position, and respected his status, so he would not be in the same league as them.
Yu Yiduo was angry, "Your Majesty, they are so bold and slander them openly. If they are not severely punished, there will be endless troubles."
Changsheng nodded to Yu and turned his attention to the civil servants at the foot of the steps.
These civil servants were not afraid of Changsheng, they all glared at Changsheng with a look of righteousness on their faces.
Changsheng was not in a hurry to speak. He stared coldly for a moment before saying in a deep voice, "Slandering the princes is equivalent to treason. I will count to three and kneel down to admit my mistake immediately. Those who persist in their stubbornness will be punished by the nine tribes."
As soon as Chang Sheng said this, there was an instant uproar outside the venue. Several civil servants in the audience were also struck by lightning. Their faces were pale and dumbfounded. They never expected that Chang Sheng didn't care about his identity and reputation at all. Not only did he not respect his identity, but he also treated them He persuades people with good words and convinces others with his virtue, but on the contrary, he has a tough attitude and punishes and intimidates him severely.
"One." Changsheng put his hands behind his back, expressionless.
Before the official on the stage could recover and answer the question, Changsheng started counting again, "Two."
Seeing that there was very little gap between Changsheng's one and two, the civil servants knew that he had murderous intentions. They looked at each other in fear and trembled all over.
"Three." Changsheng turned around and wanted to go.
As soon as the words fell, the five civil servants in the audience hurriedly knelt on the ground and apologized incoherently.
The onlookers originally admired these civil servants for not fearing the powerful and speaking out for justice. They never thought that they were just arrogant and arrogant. When they saw them kneeling down in embarrassment, the surrounding people instantly booed.
Changsheng didn't look back, he walked straight across the threshold and entered the front yard, "Go back, don't do this again."
Yu Yi glanced at everyone with disdain, and then quickly followed Chang Sheng, "My lord, you are right not to want to live in Chang'an for a long time. Dealing with such people every day will be needlessly distracting."
Changsheng said casually, "The literati are not only jealous but also good at sophistry. It is absolutely impossible to convince people with virtue when dealing with them. They can keep arguing with you for days and nights. The best way is to use force to intimidate people. They are afraid.”
Yu nodded and said, "Yang Kai's affairs should have been finished. I will pick him up."
"Go." Changsheng nodded. Yang Kai went to Mount Tai just to bring a message to the immortal, shouting out a few chess moves. It wouldn't take long.
After Yu Yi left, Changsheng returned to his room alone. He had Zhang Mo's spiritual token in his hand. If he was inspired at this time, Zhang Mo would be able to come before the third watch.
After hesitating for a long time, Changsheng finally did not use the spiritual energy token. It was not that he did not miss Zhang Mo, but that if everyone on his side found Zhang Mo arriving late at night the next morning, they would surely guess what happened during the night, and he was a little embarrassed.
Furthermore, Datou and others are all older than me, and all four of them are single at this time. As the leader of my own side, I often enjoy myself alone, which seems a little unreasonable...
