"Well, in that case, let's just endure these few days Hey, I remember that the cook was also hired. Could it be that there is no lunch today?" "Lunch? I can still cook a few meals, but I'm not very good at craftsmanship." "Come on, you don't need to pay attention to the taste, as long as you can cook it well." When Yuan Gongdao said this, he suddenly laughed: "I guess it's not just the employees who are on strike. Right?" "I heard that all the workers and craftsmen are on strike, and they want to go to Zhuque Street. Please give me an explanation." "What, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Yuan Qiao jumped up: "Quickly. Prepare the carah, the coachman should also resignI'm going to go to Zhuque Street immediately!" "Doctor, lunch" "What time is the lunch?" Yuan Qiao ran out of the mansion. I saw people in groups and groups everywhere on the streets of Chang'an City. Although his housekeeper was a little out of tune, he also knew that there must be a lot of people on the street at this time, so he panted and brought several people to accompany him. After leaving the square where he lived, he arrived at the main street. Yuan Gongdao found that there were more people on the main street. People from various shops gathered in the main street, forming a river of people, and then gathered together on Zhuque Street. "The Chinese are rioting, the Chinese are rioting!" The things recorded in the history books appeared in Yuan Gongdao's mind. He couldn't help but take a breath when he thought of this word. Ye Chang had expected all of this. Even though Ye Chang and the Chamber of Commerce are secretly fueling the situation, the people are not fools. They will only stand up if their interests are truly threatened. They do not stand up and are usually scattered in every corner of Chang'an City. People only know that Chang'an has a large number of people, but they have no idea how many people there are in Chang'an. It's different now. When Yuan Highway squeezed into Zhuque Street and saw the surging crowds of people, I realized what the word "crowds of people" really meant. ¡°I¡¯m afraid there are hundreds of thousands of people crowding here. In the past, no matter how lively it was, there wouldn¡¯t be so many people gathering together. "Doctor, doctor, what is that written on it?" A strong servant beside him tried to stand on his feet, protecting him and preventing him from being squeezed. This strong servant was quite curious. Seeing that many of the gathered people were holding up banners, he asked curiously. Yuan Gongdao had seen it a long time ago and couldn't help but become happy when his servant asked about it. In the past, people gathered in crowds to make noises, fearing that the government would notice and settle accounts later, so everyone always kept secret and hid their origins. What's strange today is that each of these people is holding a sign, as if they are afraid that the court will not know their origins. "Heichengji Carboniferous Workers' Association - This is a coal mine opened by the incompetent descendants of Cheng Lu's family, right?" "Chenji Silk Reeling Workers' Association." "Juchanglong" A lot of them are the signboards of various industrial and mining companies. It doesn't look like they are here to cause trouble, but rather like they are here to party. Yuan Highway knows very well what these signs mean, they represent workers sent from various factories and mines. These workers may be struggling to live in a difficult and impoverished environment, but they can eventually struggle to live, and they still have a head to move forward. But if Li Qiu makes a patented method, they will have to work for the imperial court. This imperial court has only heard of plundering the heads of the common people, and has rarely seen them giving back to the common people. Nowadays, craftsmen work for the court, and everyone would rather pay to hire someone to serve on their behalf than work as a craftsman. What's more, after the factories and mines are taken over by the emperor, wouldn't everyone become a "skilled craftsman"! No, he is not even as good as a senior craftsman. The senior craftsman can still find people to work on his behalf to get paid, but they have nowhere to go to get paid! Of course, such a conclusion is the result of deliberate misleading by thoughtful people. In fact, no matter how stupid Li Qiu is, he would not dare not to pay workers. It's just a question of how much of the wages he gives will reach the hands of the workers after they are peeled off. Counting on the government-controlled bureaucracy to self-supervise is a dream. It would be better for them to honestly supervise others. As more and more people gathered, there were more and more signboards. Yuan Gongdao looked at them with interest, such as "Kou's Old Mature Vinegar Workers' Association", "Jingcheng Flour Industry Association", "Pingkangli Lichunyuan Women's History" There are "elegant gatherings", they are really tolerant of all walks of life - wait a minute, something strange seems to have been mixed in, what does this matter have to do with the girls in Pingkangli Jiaofang Division! Yuan Gongdao still underestimated these tricksters in Jiaofangsi. It should be noted that the more developed the commodity economy is, the more developed the tertiary industry will be. Although these tricksters are not willing to pick up those rough guys, they have gradually gained some money in their hands in recent years. If you have money, you will be a patron. , they naturally have to think about their patrons. And teachThe company's members have always been aggressive and bold. Not only did they participate, they also pushed their way to the front of the team. "At that time, the women of that generation stood in front of the crowd, holding flags in their hands. The Jingzhao Yamen servants stepped forward to scold them, but they scolded them and ran away in shame. There were also treacherous eagles and dogs who came forward and beat them until their clothes were worn. His face was covered with blood, but he still refused to retreat. He held up his flag and screamed with sorrow, which moved the whole city to anger. They attacked him with stones and sticks, and the eagles and dogs retreated into the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion. The women said with emotion: "Now that things have come to this, I am a humble person. If you die, you will die. I must leave my name in the world. I am willing to be the first to break through the door and attack Jingzhao and die with the evildoers." After that, he wanted to break through the door, but the people around him also rushed to break into the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen. "After that day, Yuan Gongdao recorded what he saw in his notes, and he was not the only one who recorded the same scene. One of them. Therefore, a few years later, there was a person who combined Eastern and Western painting techniques. After reading history, he was inspired and painted a painting. The first person was a Tang Dynasty woman with half her chest bare. She held a flag high in one hand and wrote "Jiaofang Si" "Three big characters, holding a walking stick in the other hand, stepping on the corpse of the eagle and dog, shouting from the side. Behind him on the left, a newsboy held a short crossbow in both hands, making every move. Behind him is a merchant holding a spear, and another miner wearing a military cap of the Tang Dynasty, indicating that he was a soldier who enlisted in the army when pacifying the Anlushan Rebellion. The artist named the painting "Jiaofang Si Leading the People", which caused a sensation. This is a matter for the future, so don¡¯t mention it. As seen on Yuanjiao Road, the Yin Yamen of Jingzhao Prefecture was breached after a minor bloody conflict. The reason why it was said to be minor was that except for the girls from Jiaofangsi who were slightly injured, it was just that Yuan Zai's men were attacked. Beat him to death by taking advantage of the chaos. After breaking down the door, everyone rushed to the place where the prisoners were detained and released all the students from the Imperial College who were detained yesterday, as well as the heads of the chamber of commerce. After that, someone shouted: "The emperor has ascended the throne as a new king. He does not know the sufferings of the people. What he does is all instigated by evil villains. This Yuan Zai, who is temporarily in charge of the capital, is the villain among villains - "Now that the yamen has been broken, we should capture this villain and tell the world!" At this time, the crowd was furious, and no one who could shake the scene came out. The people's excess enthusiasm and energy were not vented, so they were teased and immediately became angry. Since then, everyone has filled the yamen looking for Yuan Zai. It was only then that Yuan Zai realized that the situation was not good, so he climbed over the wall and escaped. Someone saw him fleeing towards the palace, and everyone immediately rushed towards the palace again. The temples and temples in Chang'an are also ringing bells now. More and more people are gathering on the streets, and Zhuque Street is blocked. Everyone rushed to the palace gate. At this time, the forbidden troops were lined up in front of the palace gate, each one fully armed and full of murderous intent. Yuan Zai fled into it, and before he could catch his breath, he shouted: "These unruly people have rebelled, these unruly people have rebelled, suppress them quickly!" But no one in the imperial army paid him any attention. Yuan Zai knew that he had little influence on the Forbidden Army, and the only one who could make the Forbidden Army take action was Emperor Li Qiu. He ran into the palace. Li Qiu had already heard the news. When he saw him, he shouted: "Why did you make things like this!" Yuan Zai was stunned. In Li Qiu's view, it was really Yuan Zai who brought things to this point. Just before yesterday, the situation was fine and his plans to seize power were smooth. Today, however, hundreds of thousands of people came to the streets, and all of them were in trouble. Wei Yuanzai arrested those students from the Imperial College. At this time, he completely forgot that Yuan Zai was the person arrested with his permission. "Your Majesty, although I am incompetent, I am loyal to Your Majesty. This is Ye Chang's conspiracy. Your Majesty, do you still remember that the people's newspaper actually called Your Majesty King Zhou Li? King Zhou Li has people rioting. Now now is The people of the country are rioting! " Yuan Zai was still a bit quick-witted. Seeing that Li Qiu wanted to throw him out to calm the public's anger, he knelt down and cried. Li Qiu was stunned. How could he not know that the Chinese people were rioting? Now that he thinks about it carefully, the current situation can really be said to be a Chinese people rioting. "Your Majesty, if you continue to break the law, you will be blamed. If you are not ruthless at this time and fight to the death, your Majesty will be imprisoned. Even if you want to be exiled like King Zhou Li, you will not be able to do so!" Yuan Zai said again! . No matter what, he didn¡¯t want to be thrown out as a victim. He saw with his own eyes the fate of his cronies in the yamen. There were so many people outside. If he were really pushed out and used as a vent for his anger, he would be torn into pieces by the angry people in an instant. "What do you thinkwhat should we do?" Li Qiu was not very decisive in the first place, but when he was frightened by Yuan Zai, he forgot about his previous plan and asked in a trembling voice. "Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. At this time, the mob is besieging the palace and alarming the emperor. It is tantamount to a rebellion! Why does the imperial court raise the imperial army? Isn't it to protect the emperor?" Yuan Zai shouted: "Your Majesty must summon the generals of the imperial army and order Put an end to the chaos!" I could hear the roar of people outside the palace, and I could hear it clearly even across several palace gates.Chu Chu, Li Qiu only felt his throat was dry. He had gone through the Anlushan Rebellion. Thinking that he had a chance to escape and faced this situation now, he finally made up his mind: "Forbidden Army, yes, use the Forbidden Army An Yuanguang, where is An Yuanguang!" Now General Long Wu was no longer Chen Xuanli, but An Yuanguang. He was in the palace at this time. There was such a big movement, how could he not come to protect the palace. He was summoned to Li Qiu and heard that Li Qiu ordered him to quell the chaos. He was surprised and said: "Your Majesty, are you serious?" It's no big deal to grant him the title of Duke." An Yuanguang said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty is a wise man, and it is my duty to protect you. However, the total number of forbidden troops in the palace is only a few thousand, and those outside are There are hundreds of thousands of people Now they are just making noises outside, and there is no other movement. I am afraid that if I order a fight, I will anger them and rush to the palace gate. The consequences will be disastrous! " "You you don't know! Are you going to mobilize troops? There are tens of thousands of Imperial Guards in Chang'an City. Please send people to mobilize them quickly! " "It would be better if Your Majesty didn't say this. If you say this to be honest, many Imperial Guards have also submitted to their humble posts in the past few days! Please resign" An Yuanguang is not telling lies. In fact, many of the people surrounding the palace outside are the imperial guards who are resigning. Li Qiu only focused on his official position and financial power, but he never noticed that in these years, a military-industrial interest group was formed with the Liaodong Lushun Steel Plant as the core. The Forbidden Army and the border troops in various towns have deep connections with this military-industrial interest group. In the past five years, except for the initial attempts of the Anlushan Rebellion, which thwarted a small group of foreign barbarians on the border, the Tang Dynasty's borderland was generally relatively peaceful. However, the entire military-industrial interest group still relied on Ye Chang's border management strategy to make a lot of money. Less benefits. Ye Chang's influence in the army can be proved by just looking at An Yuanguang's ability to come from behind and climb to the position of General Longwu at a young age. "An Yuanguang, are you an official for the emperor or Ye Chang?" Hearing this, Yuan Zai became anxious and jumped out, pointed at An Yuanguang and cursed. "I am an official for the Tang Dynasty, but I am not an official for you Yuan Zai!" Although An Yuanguang is a warrior, he is very witty and sneered: "Hundreds of thousands of people outside accuse you of being a traitor. Is it for no reason?" "General An, just tell me, what do you want before you are willing to send troops to quell the foreign chaos?" Li Qiu said with wide eyes. "Your Majesty will listen to Yuan Zai in everything, why not order Yuan Zai to quell the chaos?" An Yuanguang sneered: "If the people really attack the palace, I will protect your majesty, but now that the people are outside the palace, how can I do it? I started to cut down the people, but in the back, besides Yuan Zai, I will be joined by another traitor!" "He is also willing to go all out. At this time, he is asked to lead the imperial army to pacify the people, which is obviously to put him on the fire! "What's the use of the country supporting you?" Yuan Zai couldn't help shouting. "It's useful to raise you. In just a few months, the state affairs have become what it is now!" Li Qiu trembled a few times, and he suddenly thought of Ma Weipo. At the time of Maweipo, the Imperial Guards were shouting and shouting, but Chen Xuanli refused to suppress them. The reason is probably the same as An Yuanguang's today. Li Longji's helplessness and desolation at the beginning are now felt by Li Qiu. But at that time, Li Longji still had Ye Chang to rely on. Who can he rely on now? Turning back to look at Yuan Zai, Yuan Zai's face turned pale. "It's up to you to make trouble." Li Qiu suddenly felt frustrated. He thought he was very powerful, but he never thought that when things came to a close, there was no one he could rely on. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty" Yuan Zai hurriedly followed. Li Qiu walked a few steps, then suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at An Yuanguang: "No matter what, Yuan Zai, I'm sure of it!" His tone was decisive, leaving no room for concession. An Yuanguang smiled bitterly: "I can only do my best. Why doesn't Your Majesty summon all the officials to discuss the matter?"
