Chapter 45: People suing officials, all are big grievances!

Luoyang is very lively during the day, and artists are performing on the streets. Even the "common" actors gathered on the stage that has not been used for a long time. What is performed is the story of the current emperor enduring humiliation and dormant.

In the Sui Dynasty, where entertainment is rare, the "common saying" that allows the interpretation of today's royal family interesting stories attracted countless people to watch. They turned the stage at the entrance of the Taipei City and almost stared at the royal secrets. This play has been performed many times. Today, it was singing Wang Shi's blood-stained palace, and Yang Tong and his son hugged each other and cried. At that moment, I wonder if the people were touched by the plot of this opera or remembered the glory of the Sui Dynasty. Some people began to burst into tears in the audience.

Seeing this, Yang Tong turned around and left. At least in his opinion, Gao Shilian's first job was done well.

Yes, the emperor of the dynasty left the palace again, accompanied by Gao Shilian, Pei Renji, Pei Xingyan and Luo Shixin. Of course, the inseparable Agu always followed him. He came out to relax. Because he had never been exposed to the production of yellow gunpowder, he had never found any problems with proportional ratios during these days when he was sleeping in the palace and was restless. That was something that could blow up the track plate with just two taels of explosives. Yang Tong didn't dare to do anything, so he chose to put it aside for a while and let himself relax.

At this time, Gao Shilian happened to enter the palace to report his life, saying that the people in Luoyang City have been completely filled with "common sayings, puppet shows". After drinking too much, the people in the tavern cursed Wang Shichong.

After hearing this, Yang Tong's emotions finally eased. Isn't this what the people want? He had to come out and see what the scene of these people loving him looked like. Unexpectedly, he realized that it was different when he left the palace that scolding Wang Shichong and Emperor Guixin were two different things.

Now, Yang Tong, who came out of the palace, took several ministers and some guards disguised as servants, began to head to Beicheng. As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the Taipei City, he saw a group of people surrounded by adults and children in front of the puppet show stall. The scene where Yang Tong broke the Zheng Gong Mansion was a battle scene. The stall owner sang and gestured, all of them were watching attentively. Going further in, he arrived at the stage of the common people. The actor dressed as a woman and told the grievances of Yang Tong and his mother being imprisoned in the palace, playing the vicious evil spirit of Wang Shichong. The people below the stage clenched their fists and were angry, stamping their feet and beating their chests.

only……

It seemed that no one said the emperor's good words, but they were just pitying Wang Shichong to bully the orphans and widows.

"You... Master, it's actually just one opportunity."

After beating the crowd, Yang Tong and Gao Shilian walked aimlessly on the street. Gao Shilian saw Yang Tong's concern and said, "The way we use is at most to guide and guide the people to put aside their prejudices against imperial power." He did not dare to say in depth, but Yang Tong heard it, saying that Yang Guang had caused the world too much.

"A variety of opera interpretation methods are only for the people to feel compassion. At this time, we must make the people know that Your Majesty is a wise ruler today, which is the basis for being loved by the people. Then, Your Majesty's road construction, Yuying Hall, and the Martyrs' ancestral home can achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Not to mention anything else, at least Gao Shilian is a person who does practical things, and everyone has what the emperor thinks.

"What opportunity is needed?"

Yang Tong stopped and looked at Gao Shilian in a place where the crowd was not crowded.

"Kill corrupt officials." Gao Shilian explained: "There is nothing in this world that makes the people more happy than killing corrupt officials."

"Your Majesty, you must not!"

Pei Renji immediately dissuaded: "At this time, officials are carrying on the minting of coins, everyone should be in danger. They should seek stability. If they kill corrupt officials with drastic measures, it will trigger a wave of resignation. At that time, it is not possible that these imperial officials will write articles to criticize me. This is common saying that puppet shows can attract people, let alone the writing style of an official."

Yang Tong did not give any comments, but waved his hand and said, "Mr. Gao, did you hear that? The father-in-law meant to kill corrupt officials at this moment. I am afraid there will be no clean person in the court."

Gao Shilian smiled with him and stopped talking.

Taking the chaos in Luoyang City as an example, who advocates anti-corruption and integrity at this moment is the public enemy of everyone. When Wang Shichong was there, everyone was greedy. Now that the Zheng Gong Mansion has fallen, the emperor does not intend to pursue it. Isn’t it idle to mention this?

Of course, Gao Shilian knew that his old friend Pei Renji was protecting himself, but for a court, especially a court that had lost the hearts of the people, would it be okay to not fight corruption?

The government office arrived. This was the place where ordinary people usually sued, and there was nothing to see. Yang Tong led everyone by in a hurry, preparing to find a place to eat first. After all, it was the place to eat...

"Dad, we won't sue anymore, really..."

A father and son on the street were tying each other, and pedestrians watched and pointed at each other.

Yang Tong looked at it fresh and came over.

"No more sue? Why!"

Lao Liang yelled in the street with a crying voice: "Everyone can judge me. The ancestral home that has been passed down for 80 years will burn it and it will cost a life. How can I not sue me?" Lao Liang finished shouting at the people watching the fun, and looked back and kicked his son hard: "Then Xiao Anzi kept serving me when you were not back. I have made up my mind to leave the house and inn for him, but when you come back, your father can't waste his son, you can only waste Xiao Anzi. We are sorry for him anymore, do you know? Now that I've burned a fire to death, everyone has burned to charcoal, can I not sue me!"

"Do you still want to close your eyes when I die?!"

Liang Dacheng pulled Lao Liang's arm: "Dad, this people's lawsuit against officials has not been good since ancient times. My son finally reunited with his father. The inn was burned and then built. Why bother? This is it."

"You cowardly soft-boy!"

Lao Liang didn't know where the energy came from, so he pushed Liang Dacheng away and rushed to the front of the government office a few steps. Taking advantage of the time when the yamen runners didn't react, he pulled out the drum hammer and started beating the drum and making trouble.

Bang, bang, bang...

The drums were shaking the streets, and the people were puzzled when they heard the drum beats. They couldn't figure out why there were still people beating the drums to complain at this time?

When Wang Shichong was around, corrupt officials were rampant. Some disputes arose among the people wanted to deal with them. They went to the corner gate of the government for lawsuits. After secretly entering, they naturally had some money to deal with. This has become a common practice. No one has ever complained about the main door for several years, let alone beating the drums and making excuses.

There were more and more people on the streets, and the sound of Laoliang beating drums became louder and louder. The government office started from the beginning of quietness as if it was just as quiet as before, and everyone was panicked and they were in their position. In an instant, someone came out.

The guy came out wearing official clothes. He clearly saw Lao Liang beating the drum and asked, "Who is beating the drum?"

"Report to Master, villain Liang Zhi, there is a huge grievance."

“Can the complaint be brought?”

Lao Liang took out the sleeve of the robe and handed over a complaint.

Liang Dacheng got up on the ground and closed his eyes, sighed helplessly, and could only walk over to support his father's arm.

"Waiting."

The official sent in. After a moment, a shout came from inside: "Enter the hall!", and the next sentence was: "Transfer to the miserable master, Liang Zhi came to the hall."

As soon as Liang Zhi entered, the government office was surrounded by the people, and people wanted to see if there were any injustice.

Yang Tong asked outside the crowd: "Is there a fire in Luoyang yesterday?"

Pei Xingyan hurriedly approached: "My man, it's true that the fire has caught. He burned one inn, medicine shop and wine shop. The fire has not expanded after being controlled in time."

"Other one was burned to death?"

"The inn's guy didn't have time to escape and was burned to death in the shop. When he found it, he turned into coke."

Yang Tong nodded and walked forward.

Luo Shixin and Pei Xingyan separated the crowd in front to open the way for him. When they stood at the entrance of the government office, Yang Tong finally saw the scene in the yamen. He saw Lao Liang kneeling in the hall and shouting loudly: "Master Qingtian, the little old man is going to sue Guan Haiming, the palm of Dali Temple. This man set fire and killed people, and was completely destined. I hope the master will make the decision!"
