"He scolded, and then what?"
Everyone in the casino was so concentrated that they even forgot to place their bets. When they heard this and saw him stop, they couldn't help but get anxious and kept asking questions.
Xiao Dingfei twitched the corners of his mouth, rolled his eyes, tapped the gaming table with his fingers, and loudly reminded these "non-professional" gamblers: "Make it clear, we are gambling money! Is it? Also 'then'! Then quickly make a bet for Lao Tzu, what are you doing?!"
This is the largest casino in Beijing.
Three religions and nine streams, everyone has it.
He used to be a frequent visitor here, and he also made a group of friends, but before the Tianjiao and Xinzhou Army came in, the owner of the casino had packed up the soft and fled from Beijing in fear of death. After calming down again, he brought his family back and reopened the door.
There is no doubt that Xiao Dingfei, who was so idle at home that he almost lost his hair, came to take care of him as soon as he heard the news.
There was a little bit of excitement in this casino.
Everyone had a relationship with him who went to the brothel together, but they ignored him at all, and forced him to go on: "Isn't this the only one you were in the palace that day? Let's not talk about watching, it is even the capital Don't dare to wait any longer. Just say it, Lu Xian scolded someone, and then what?"
Xiao Dingfei took a look and saw that no one was betting.
He can't wait to go back half an hour ago and give himself two slaps: You can't help but want to show off to others, you know, is this all right? No money to gamble!
Helpless, he could only say impatiently: "What else can I do? It's so loud and noisy at this time, I almost didn't get beaten up, and I didn't even have a little bit of three-legged cat skill.
Someone sighed: "Dare to scold that person, you are really brave enough..."
Some people didn't quite believe it: "I have also been to Youhuang Pavilion in the past. Boss Lu is a money fan. He is a profiteer. It is reasonable to say that 'harmony makes money'. It shouldn't be scolding people like this. Don't you make up this paragraph?"
Xiao Dingfei rolled his eyes and thought about it. In fact, his memory is not very good. It's been almost two months. He really doesn't remember what Lu Xian scolded, but he remembers the face that was angrily and deceived.
When others questioned, he really felt a little guilty.
But at the end of the day, it was also a second-skinned face who had been begging in eight villages and had been beaten in the streets and alleys. Xiao Dingfei would not admit it. He wanted to take this stubble with him in a few words, pretending to be angry: "You want to listen again, but you don't believe what I said. , why is it so difficult to serve? I said that he has scolded him, but he has scolded him, and I don’t like to hear you talk to others! Do you really take Lao Tzu as a storyteller?”
After all, move on.
How could these people in the casino really let him go
He quickly stopped the person and persuaded him to come back with good words.
Xiao Dingfei also went down the donkey smoothly, and after two pushes, he returned to the gambling table.
These guys are finally starting to gamble.
But while gambling, his mouth was not idle.
After all, what happened after the Heavenly Sect hit the capital and entered the palace two months ago has already been widely circulated in the market, but most of the news is exaggerated or affiliated. What was that day? A person's statement.
Some people say that the emperor was killed by the head of the Heavenly Sect.
Some people say that the emperor was killed by Xie Wei himself.
Some people even said that it was Princess Leyang who planned to seize power and planned to die.
But this group of people in the casino have heard it, and the most curious is not this.
Some people still can't figure it out: "The second girl of the Jiang family can't run away, but what does Lu Zhaoyin say about 'coaxing the little girl'?"
Xiao Dingfei thought to himself, if I know so clearly, I must not be a counselor, and still sit here and gamble with you
He was trying to make excuses.
At this time, a person dressed as a scholar sitting next to him smiled and said: "Dingfei Shizi said, if it is true, it is not difficult to speculate. Xie Taishi wants this world as if searching for something; Princess Leyang held his hand at that time. Reinforcement also has the power to fight. Jiang Er has rescued the eldest princess, and the eldest princess will never harm her in any way, but it is not necessarily for Taishi Xie. If Taishi Xie controls the world, the world will not live well; if the eldest princess holds the world , Master Xie may not have a good end. So doesn't Jiang Er girl have to choose? If she gets married with Master Xie, and the eldest princess loves Wu Jiwu, no matter how much she hates and fears Master Xie, she should know that Second Girl Jiang has her heart, and she will never After the fall, the accounts will be settled."
When Xiao Dingfei heard this, he really felt that it made sense.
The scribe who speaks is not someone else, it is Weng Ang, the scholar who won the second place in the previous two years. He also had a grudge with the Xiao family back then. Shelves are a different kind.
It's just that the premise of his speculation is that what Xiao Dingfei said is true.
In fact, the external statement of the imperial court was that the Xinzhou army led by Xie Wei and Yan Lin was indeed the division of King Qin. Xie Wei became a grand master, Yan Lin made a general, and the eldest princess temporarily came to the court as regent.
As for the history books, the victors can write whatever they please.
Ordinary people bury their heads in their lives, who cares about this
These money gamblers don't know a few big characters, but they can't wait to lick a scholar like Weng Ang.
After all, this is called Gao Jian.
So someone looked left and right, leaned over and asked in a low voice, "In the future, who will be the emperor?"
Weng Ang had an official position in the Hanlin Academy. Hearing this, he glanced at the man, but did not answer.
Xiao Dingfei snorted coldly, "Jie'er is always noisy in the courtroom, God knows!"
In the past two months, a lot has happened in the capital.
For example, the Xiao family was copied. Except for Xiao Dingfei, a fake who survived, all the people with the surname "Xiao" suffered a lot of bad luck;
For example, in the mass burial mound outside the city, the body of the former national teacher Yuanji monk was found. After investigation, it was not found who moved the hand. Instead, it was found out that this Yuanji was not an eminent monk at all, and a lot of hands were involved. In murder cases, he also prostituted his wives and daughters, and he was not as good as animals;
for example…
For example, the position of the emperor in the Forbidden City has been vacant for two months and no one has been seated.
It stands to reason that once Shen Lang died, the Imperial Jade Seal fell into the hands of the eldest princess. Since he should support the royal family, even if he finds a child from the royal family to be the young emperor, the throne cannot be left vacant.
But there is a Xie Ju'an in the palace, who dares
There are many people in the royal family who have witnessed the bloody scene in the Taiji Hall that day. What's more, there is a regent princess at the head. If they want this position, they have to ask her whether she agrees or not.
Therefore, no one was chosen.
But every day in the prefectures of the world, there are many things that need the mediation of the imperial court, and only after a war, the people need to rest and recuperate, from household registration to taxes to the army, there is nothing left to be handled.
How to do
It can only be done by civil and military officials sitting down and discussing it together. Several auxiliary ministers of the original cabinet will take the lead, and then various ministers will be introduced to discuss matters in the cabinet's duty room every day, and negotiate votes. However, the previous section of the emperor's royal pen and Zhu Zhu's seal was omitted. After drafting, it was handed over to the eldest princess Shen Zhiyi for review.
At the beginning, the courtiers were still not used to it.
But it was discovered within a month that whether there was an emperor in the court was not as important as they thought. The decree is saved from the central book, and it is still issued without the emperor. Even because there is no need to ask the emperor for approval, the documents that come in the morning can be sent back to various places or subordinates in the afternoon, which is much faster.
Moreover, when there is an emperor, no matter how good his ideas are, he will always be picked and picked, and the emperor's younger brother always has his own cronies and favorites, so everyone should be careful.
Well now, no need at all.
Even though there are official positions, no one really overpowers anyone. Even if some factions are soon separated, everyone has the power to fight and argue, but there is no "one word".
What's more, a month ago, the cabinet was arguing about whether to grow potatoes or rice in the north of Qinhuai, so that no one would accept the other. In the "Cabinet Sparse Law", "vote proposed" was changed to "vote vote".
Everyone in the cabinet has the right to vote.
The drafting of the decree must be voted, and those who voted in the majority of the votes will be issued to the Ministry of the Central Government and issued to the various ministries and provinces. It is strictly forbidden for the cabinet to "fight with arms", including rulers, inkstones, tables and chairs, bottles and other objects.
Xiao Dingfei doesn't know whether the cabinet is still fighting or not.
But he pondered, the emperor was afraid of hanging.
When these old bastards first started, they always said that "the country cannot be without an owner for a day", and urged them to establish one. But in the past month, there has been no sound at all.
After all, what they can do, raise an emperor to be their ancestors, what's the matter
Isn't this unpleasant for yourself
It just so happened that the eldest princess didn't seem to have any intention of righting her son of alien blood. Of course, they turned a blind eye, and tacitly gave the "Emperor", which was originally "bigger than the sky". "forgotten.
Xiao Dingfei hasn't read many books, and he doesn't know what it means, but no matter what the court does, it doesn't affect his gambling money. Laughing: "See, four, five, two, six! Great, all this money is mine!"
The crowd suddenly shouted.
But if he loses, he loses, so he can only watch him take a lot of money on the gambling table into his arms.
It was cold outside the window, and there were people selling hot wontons along the way.
Xiao Dingfei heard Fang felt a little hungry and stuck his head out of the window, so he wanted to stop the wonton seller and have someone bring a few bowls. But when he was about to speak, his eyes were wrong, and he was suddenly stunned.
It turned out to be seeing Mr. Zhang from the Ministry of Punishment.
On a cold day, he walked across the street in casual clothes with his hands in his hands.
A few barefoot beggars came to him begging all the way with broken bowls. He stopped to take a look at the children, then took out two small pieces of silver and a small handful of copper coins from his sleeves and put them in their bowls.
Then he raised his hand and pointed them in the direction, as if to say something.
The little beggars all showed expressions of surprise, bent towards him, and ran in that direction together.
Xiao Dingfei knew that after the war resumed, there were many more refugees in the city, and it was such a cold weather, so the Princess of Leyang, Shen Zhiyi, and the cabinet proposed to set up porridge sheds in various places, and the state treasury would provide relief, and at the same time, the household registrations were reorganized in each place, and the land was evenly distributed. Settle refugees.
After deliberation for a while, the details were drawn up and voted on.
Now there are porridge sheds in the east of the city, and the yamen re-recorded the household registration system on the spot and gave them resettlement.
It's just that this Master Zhang...
Now that he has been promoted to the Minister of Punishment, he still has no air at all.
When he saw it, he couldn't help but think of two months ago—
There was a thrilling experience in the palace, and finally the sword, light and sword shadow turned invisible.
After watching for a long time, the young general seemed to be in a dream. He didn't laugh. He just turned around and walked away against the crowd. He didn't even call any of his personal soldiers. A bit of vicissitudes of depression and desolation, slowly walked out of the palace gate.
When Jiang Xuening saw it, he had already gone far.
It's just that she didn't step up to chase, just stared at it from a distance, with a faint gleam in the bottom of her eyes.
Xiao Dingfei is still unable to describe his strange feeling at that moment: he feels that she is not just looking at someone, but more like looking at the past and the past...
Both Heijia Jun and Xinzhou troops withdrew from the Forbidden City.
The rubbish of Tianjiao was naturally caught.
Xie Wei, Shen Zhiyi and the other courtiers stayed to discuss matters on the spot, and the rest of the people were naturally eager to leave this blood-stained palace early, and left as soon as they could. Of course he smeared oil on the soles of his feet and slipped faster than anyone else.
Just going out of the palace gate and walking to the street market, all you can see is the chaos.
The prosperous capital has become an empty city.
The high-hanging plaque of the inn's drugstore fell to the ground and broke into several pieces; the exquisite carved windows of the Qinlou Chu Pavilion were smashed into a mess; the wine flags displayed by some restaurants on weekdays were blown to the street by the wind, leaving a lot of dirt on them. Dirty footprints...
It was at this time that Xiao Dingfei saw Zhang Zha.
People go to the empty restaurant, the doors and windows are wide open, the tables and chairs collapse, and the dishes and dishes are also broken on the ground, but in this mess, a quiet and tidy place is created.
One square table and one glass of sake.
The Master Zhang sat alone at the table, drank a pot of wine by himself, sat up for a while, put down a few coins on the counter covered with a thin layer of ash, and then came out.
There was not a single pedestrian on the wind-blown street.
The deserted city is like a dream.
Zhang Zhe was just like the old days. He walked through this barren area, turned into a quiet alley, said "I'm back" to the door, lowered his head and pushed open the door and walked in.
In the capital that day, it was clear that the situation was gathering, the crisis was full of dangers, and it was changing in an instant.
Those who cherished their lives either fled in all directions, or hid at home.
What kind of person would find an unmanned restaurant on such a day, drink a glass of sake quietly, save a few wine coins, and then return home as usual
Xiao Dingfei was really in a trance for a while.
The person next to him called him: "Master Dingfei, what's the matter, do you still gamble?"
Xiao Dingfei came back to his senses.
When I looked again, there were no people on the street in front, no beggars running away, and no more hawkers selling wontons.
He turned his head and said with a smile, "Nonsense, my lord, I am very lucky today, of course I have to bet! This time, I have to ask you to take off your pants and go back!"
Everyone booed him.
He didn't care either, and he was ready to re-bet after he happily collected the money.
Someone suddenly asked strangely: "Speaking of which, it turns out that your name is Xiao Dingfei. Why is it that everyone knows that you are a counterfeit, and you are still called by that name?"
Xiao Dingfei was startled.
Who is he
Born without roots, wherever it floats, even the name is picked up by others.
The casino was suddenly silent.
The person who had just said the words became uneasy after realizing it.
Unexpectedly, at the next moment, Xiao Dingfei put his legs up and snarled, and he acted like he was heartless: "Otherwise? What's your name Zhang Ergou Li Erdan? Aren't you shabby! It doesn't matter what your name is, can you lie? Eating, cheating and drinking is the key! My name, the girl from Cuihonglou sounds nice."
Everyone who was nervous before burst into laughter.
The topic immediately became which girl in Cuihonglou is better.
Xiao Dingfei made a gamble that he planned to go back until the end of the day, thinking about the big beauty and Xie's marriage in a few days, and what to give him. However, before the front foot stepped out of the casino, the back foot heard the young lady from the opposite restaurant running back from nowhere, and said with a bit of excitement: "The news just passed to the inside, that Jiang Er girl is going to take over. Kunning Palace is here!"
"puff!"
Xiao Dingfei spit out a sip of tea.
What are you kidding? Haven't the emperor's candidates been settled yet
