Chapter 469 Coffin(1/2)

Without the emperor's restraint, things went quickly and in an orderly manner.

The court officials agreed to give up the capital and go south to preserve vitality.

Empress Dowager Tao issued an imperial edict in the name of the emperor, ordering all the yamen in the court to prepare to leave the capital.

In this way, the matter of abandoning the city and leaving the capital is legitimate and reasonable and legal!

After the fact, the responsibility can be held accountable. With this decree, at least most of the responsibility can be shirked.

The imperial edict requires a jade seal.

In addition, the emperor's private seal is also needed.

Empress Dowager Tao looked at the eunuch Luo Xiaonian.

Luo Xiaonian shook all over and his face turned pale.

Mei Shaojian rushed forward in two steps, "Take your Majesty's seal and spare you."

Luo Xiaonian bit his lip tightly and suddenly regretted that when Shi Wen suddenly hurt the emperor, he did not take timely measures to control the situation.

Now, it's all too late!

Empress Dowager Tao joined hands with the court officials to control the court and undermine His Majesty.

He is a sinner!

He cried with a sad face, and finally surrendered and chose to hand over the emperor's seal.

The seal fell on the bright yellow imperial edict.

Giving up the capital city immediately had a basis, reasonable and legal!

Luo Xiaonian knelt on the ground with a thud, and cried loudly.

With a look of Empress Dowager Tao, a palace servant rushed up and dragged him down.

After the imperial edict was issued, the court officials left the palace one after another, each performing their duties.

The palace also began to become busy, preparing to escape from Beijing.

...

The next day.

The atmosphere in the capital began to become subtle.

From royal family members to officials and noble families, they began to secretly pack their luggage, prepare cars and horses, and take away everything they could.

The business of the carriage shop was instantly booming. All the carriages, horses, not coaches, but only cars and horses were sold out.

Even the coffin shops under the North-South Grocery Stores saw their business surge tenfold in an instant.

Yes, read that right, it's the coffin shop.

I don’t know which genius came up with the idea, using a coffin to pack gold, silver, fine and soft, and various important items.

The cage is not enough, and it seems that it is not safe enough, so it is better to use a coffin.

People in the world always have taboos about coffins and are unwilling to touch them.

But there are also unqualified families who choose to use coffins to load goods.

It's safe to install more.

There is one, there is two, there is two, there is three...

The method of loading goods with coffins is passed down by word of mouth among major families in a blink of an eye.

So much so that coffin shops are preparing to close their business, and business comes to their doors every day, and there are endless streams.

It seems that the people in the city are concentrated in the past few days of death.

The shopkeeper who was in charge of the coffin shop business was confused.

The inventory is almost sold out!

Every day, countless people come to buy goods.

Really, it's not at all.

The shopkeeper's mood is complicated, happy and sad.

The good thing is that the inventory was sold out and the sales task of clearance was completed. The year-end bonus must be quite large.

What I worry about is that there is only one wave of business.

After the sale, the coffin shop is about to go bankrupt.

No one works, and the craftsmen don’t know where they went.

Anyway, he is a craftsman now and can't even contact him. The boss took away all the craftsmen early, and didn't know where he got them.

The shopkeeper even dared to guess, could the meat of the boss eats people and the craftsmen are particularly delicious?

This idea is really a rebellious and extremely terrifying!

It is more terrifying than any monster novel or mythical legend.

The shopkeeper felt ashamed of his magical imagination.

The boss treats him well, how could he be so suspicious of the boss?

It shouldn't be!

Too unforeseen!

...

Some families have a little bit of noise and are a bit ostentatious.

Rumors began to appear in the capital.

There are already rumors among the common people in the city that the emperor wants to give up the capital.

When everyone heard this, some people sneered, some people half believed it, some people firmly believed it, and some people were panicked and worried all day long...

In addition, the prices of grain have soared, and there are shouts of killings coming from the city every day, making people panic!

The streets were full of pedestrians who were busy making a living and could travel all over the capital for a bit of food.

Jinyinfang, the once lively market, is closed.

During the war disaster at the beginning of the year, the traitors siege the city, the mixed soup of the north and south that had been open for business. This time, it was abnormal and had closed half a month ago.

It was the earliest shop to close the Jinyinfang.

When the Nanbei Zaozao Tang closed, many people felt that the Nanbei Zaozao Tang was overreacting and should not be closed.

Winter is the peak sales season. Once the door is closed, you will lose a lot of money every day.

Now that I look at it again, I find that the shopkeeper of the North and South Miscellaneous Soup and the boss are really wise and powerful.

Close the door in time.

If they had closed the door together at that time and had escaped from the capital now, they would not have to worry all day long.

Regret not before!

At the Suji pickle shop opposite the North-South Miscellaneous Soup, Boss Su sat in the room and sighed.

I regretted not listening to Manager Qin at that time and closed the door and fled to the capital.

At that time, Wu Heng had not yet arrived at the city. Like everyone else, he was full of confidence in the court.

Liangzhou and Youzhou soldiers are about to rescue the capital. There will definitely be no problem in the capital. Wu Heng will soon withdraw his troops.

At that time, he was so sensible, firmly believed in the court, and believed that the Liangzhou Military and Horse Association would provide timely rescue.

Manager Qin smiled bitterly, without any advice, closed the door and took the clerk away.

Bang!

Boss Su slapped himself in the face.

"You are confused, you are confused! My mind is flooded, but I don't listen to Manager Qin's advice and insist on staying. What should I do now!"

From a distance, sitting in the room, you could hear the shouts of killing on the city wall.

What if Wu Heng can't hold on, what should he do if he kills it?

Boss Su regretted not being able to find Manager Qin again.

He had been to the courtyard where Manager Qin lived, which was already empty.

It is said that half a month ago, there were no people in the yard and the luggage items had been emptied long ago.

He had no choice but to sit at home and wait for death.

I just hope that the capital can be defended and reinforcements can arrive in time.

Since the death of the late emperor, life has been getting worse every year.

Within a year, two troops arrived at the city.
