The Turks' march south caused a sensation in the whole city.
Before dawn, a large number of people rushed onto the streets, trying to force open the city gates and escape.
But he was quickly driven back by the patrol camp.
Feng Li was riding on his horse, feeling really tired as he watched groups of people being driven back home and sneaking out again.
He could only shout loudly:"What happened today, considering the special circumstances, I will not punish you for violating the curfew!""
"But if anyone dares to go out without authorization again, don't blame my commander for being ruthless!"
Some people in the city still wanted to take risks, so Feng Li directly ordered
"Archers and axemen are ready to patrol the whole city immediately, but anyone who violates the prohibition will be killed on the spot!"
Seeing that Feng Lilai was really here, the common people retreated into their houses with pale faces and never came out.
Transportation in ancient times was too inconvenient, and the eight hundred mile express was a special method that could only be used by the officials. There was a post station every twenty miles, and it was impossible to pass through. By constantly changing horses and postmen, they could reach a distance of up to eight hundred miles every day.
This also caused the people in Chang'an to know the news many days earlier than people in other places. The
Turkic army came down from the north, and all the towns and villages along the way had been ordered by Li Chengdao People moved in advance, so little news leaked out.
Moreover, the Eight Hundred Miles Express also came from Jingzhou and Xiazhou, and arrived directly at Chang'an. They did not shout loudly on the way. When they arrived in Chang'an, one was to call for the city gate to be opened. , this has been the practice for twenty years, so people in Chang'an City also know the news.
But people in other places don't know, at least not yet, and stability can continue for a period of time.
If the people in Chang'an City are rashly released Once out, they will definitely go in all directions of the Tang Dynasty.
When the time comes, the news of the Turks going south will not only cause panic among the people, but may also be taken advantage of by those who are interested.
Therefore, since ancient times, whenever there is a war, the capital will be there. Martial law was imposed immediately to block the news. It would not be until the army went out or good news came that the city gates would be opened for the first time to release people.
So under normal circumstances, as long as Chang'an City is closed for a period of time, the world will also Let's settle down for a while.
Feng Li sealed the city and not only imprisoned ordinary people.
Also imprisoned was Cui Ju, who had been waiting for news about Concubine Cui.
Since he left the palace that day, he has been directly guarding Chang'an, waiting. Concubine Cui's reply.
But several days have passed, and the little emperor has nothing to do, and Concubine Cui cannot be contacted.
Just when he was preparing to return home tomorrow, the Turks suddenly came and blocked him in Chang'an City.
"This damn Turk will come sooner or later, but now it comes!"
Cui Ju was so angry that he wanted to smash the tea cup. He should have left the day before.
"It’s true, Mrs. Cui, please let me know if it’s done or not. I’m really anxious. Cui
Hai, the steward, guessed:"Could it be that her affair has been exposed and she was arrested by the emperor?" Cui
Ju shook his head,"If she is caught, the little emperor will definitely follow the clues and find me.""
"But now the little emperor has not moved, which proves that she has not taken action yet."
"It's a pity that when other people came, they couldn't talk to her at all, otherwise I wouldn't have been in danger alone and ended up being locked up in this city."
Cui Ju sat on the chair angrily, putting his arms on the table and rubbing the tea cup.
He was not worried about the Turks at all. The five surnames and seven kings all had their own unique ways to survive.
What he is most worried about now is, Or Mrs. Cui couldn't find a chance to take action, or the action failed.
Then he could only go back and discuss another plan with Cui Xun.
But he really didn't want to implement that plan, and the price was too high.
Just When Cui Ju was depressed, Cui Hai suddenly said to him:"Master, maybe we don't have to wait for Concubine Cui to take action!"
"Now that the Turkic army is moving south, the imperial court's troops and supplies may not be able to withstand it, and Chang'an City may not be able to hold it."
"If we can pass on the news, we can unite with several other companies and arrange for some dead soldiers to ambush secretly and wait outside the city."
"No matter if he flees for his life or goes out of the city to seek peace, as long as he seizes the opportunity, it is not impossible to kill him!
Cui Ju's eyes lit up,"What a great idea!""
If everything is pushed to the Turks, then all of them will be able to escape unscathed!
But the next second he was in trouble,"But now the whole city has been under martial law, and the news can't spread! Cui
Hai said with a smile:"Master, have you forgotten? Our Cui's Grain Store is the largest store in Chang'an City!""
"As soon as daybreak, as the head of the Bolingcui family, you donate a batch of grain to the court to fund the army to resist the Turks. They will definitely agree!"
"At that time, you will be a hero of the Tang Dynasty. If you need to go home on the grounds of donation, how can the little emperor and others refuse!"
"As long as you leave this city, no matter what you do, they will not suspect you!"
"Isn’t that wonderful!
Cui Ju patted his thigh and said,"Wonderful!" It’s really wonderful! He smiled and pointed at Cui Hai,"You boy, you really can stand up to the four words"no treachery and no businessmanship". It seems that you have learned a lot in Chang'an these years! Cui
Hai smiled sheepishly,"These are all unsightly tricks, making the head of the family a joke!"
Cui Ju looked at him with admiration and said,"Okay, stop being modest!""
"Now that it's over, you and I should go back to Boling. Some of the elders in the family are getting older and it's time for them to abdicate in favor of others!
Cui Hai was overjoyed and quickly kowtowed,"Thank you, Master!""....
At this time, in the court hall.
Li Chengdao also happened to mention Cui Ju
"Two days ago, Cui Ju, the head of the Boling Cui family, went to Tai'an Palace to ask for an audience with Concubine Cui."
"I don’t know what he told Concubine Cui. Not long after he left, Concubine Cui committed suicide by throwing herself into a well!"
"But our Cui Ju is, after all, the head of a family with the fifth surname and Qi Wang. I really haven’t thought about how to deal with him in the past two days."
"Dear friends, can you help me think about how to deal with this matter?"
When the civil and military officials heard this, they thought there was something fishy!
As soon as he met Mrs. Cui, she committed suicide. No one believed her when she said she had nothing to do with him.
Could it be that he wanted to coerce Mrs. Cui into doing something, and after being rejected, he used Mrs. Cui's Her family threatens her?
But what is it that would make a concubine rather throw herself into a well than do it?
Everyone immediately realized that they either wanted to murder His Majesty, or they wanted to murder the Supreme Emperor.
But the possibility of the former was obvious. Bigger!
Wei Zheng took a step forward,"Your Majesty, did Concubine Cui leave anything behind?"
Li Chengdao took out a small bag of something and said,"The imperial doctor has tested it and it's poison that seals the throat upon seeing blood!"........
