Chapter 393 Shock and celebration
Prince Ningkang was killed, the Xie family presented their heads, Jiangnan Prefecture surrendered, and Emperor Wuxing granted amnesty to the world. Each of these was a shocking event that shook Tianfu County to its core.
The amnesty for the whole world is a big deal, and the movement must be loud to achieve the effect of shock and publicity. Otherwise, the emperor has been changed for several years, and some rural farmers still don't know about it.
So, as early as five days ago, the secret order from the imperial court was sent to the Kang County Magistrate.
At this moment, County Magistrate Kang, along with the county government officials, their family members, major merchants in the county, as well as numerous wealthy and wealthy families and patriarchs, hundreds of people in total, knelt down in the county seat. in front of the door.
Bang bang bang, the sound of horses galloping that shook the earth.
Clang, clang, clang, the sound of running vehicles.
Dong dong dong, the festive and majestic sound of war drums.
Dang Dang Dang - the heavy and distant sound of tripod bells.
Not long after, a forest of black and red military flags came into view. Under the military flag was a group of cavalry wearing heavy armor and helmets covering their faces. Carrying the cold air and murderous intent, they escorted three carriages and arrived in front of the city gate in the blink of an eye.
These are the Northwest Army lurking in Dongming Mansion. The leading Northwest Army shouted loudly: "The commander of Jiangnan Prefecture made the Xie family behead the crown prince of Emperor Ningkang and present his head to His Majesty. In the second year of Wuxing, Your Majesty killed the remnants of Emperor Ningkang in one fell swoop. , Dejiang All the people in Nanzhou have surrendered, and now the world is unified. I am issuing a special decree to grant amnesty to the world and rejoice with the people!"
The northwest army behind him repeated these words, his voice was shocking and terrifying. Feeling of worship.
Following the Northwest Army were acquaintances - Gao Baihu and Master Miao.
Passage was inconvenient in ancient times. If you don’t bring familiar faces from the yamen, the folks will think you are liars.
On behalf of the government army and the government government, they came close and said to the magistrate of Kang County: "Your Majesty, the son of Emperor Ai of Tianfu County has been executed, and Da'an is in the south. This is your majesty's imperial edict. You can Check it out.”
The clerk in the ceremonial room of the government knelt down, took the imperial edict from the northwest army, walked to the Kang County magistrate on his knees, and unfolded the imperial edict.
After seeing this, the Kang County magistrate shouted with great joy: "Your Majesty, the True Dragon Emperor, has punished the remnants of the guilty emperor and made all the people of the Wei Dynasty return to their hearts. The humble ministers and the people of Tianfu County wept and congratulated, and congratulated your Majesty on the eternal prosperity of the country!"
The people in Tianfu County behind them repeated these words, and their voices were loud again.
"Sacrifice to heaven and earth, welcome the imperial edict into the city!"
Kang County Magistrate led everyone, burned incense and knelt down, and waited for a full half an hour before welcoming the motorcade enshrining the edict of amnesty for the world. Enter Tianfu County.
The imperial edict was escorted by the heavily armored Northwest Army. Wherever it passed, tens of thousands of people knelt down to greet it. The battles were even louder than last year when the edict was issued to change the emperor.
The Northwest Army circled around the neighborhoods in the county, letting everyone see the imperial convoy, and only returned to the county government after learning the news that Da'an and Wei in the south had completely changed the world.
Tianfu County was in turmoil, and everyone was talking about the imperial edict... But they were afraid of being punished for saying the wrong thing, so they didn't dare to make a noise, so they only talked secretly at home.
He hurriedly hung up the red cloth, set up the incense table to worship, and made a celebration.
You have to celebrate, otherwise the emperor will think that you, the people of Tianfu County, are not happy for him to be the emperor.
When the emperor was angry, it was terrible, he would kill people, and a large number of people would die!
......
The next day, the Northwest Army took the county government officials and began to leave the county and rush to the towns in the countryside.
Every time we passed a town, the county government officials would come forward and ask the officials from Silifang and the village chiefs and village chiefs to kneel down to greet the imperial edict.
After burning incense and worshiping heaven and earth, the Northwest Army shouted: "The commander of Jiangnan Prefecture, the Xie family, beheaded the crown prince of Emperor Ningkang and presented his head to His Majesty. In the second year of Wuxing, Your Majesty killed the remnants of Emperor Ningkang in one fell swoop. Everyone in Jiangnan Prefecture has surrendered, and the world has been unified. I have issued a decree to grant amnesty to the world and enjoy the joy of the people!”
After staying in each town for half a day to ensure that the news spread, the Northwest Army set off to the next town.
When we arrived at Taifeng Town, it was already the sixth day of February.
As early as one day ago, Si Lifang notified the village chiefs to bring ten to twenty villagers to the town to greet the imperial edict. At midnight on the sixth day of the lunar month, Grandpa Qin got up, burned incense, bathed and changed clothes, and prepared with great solemnity to receive the imperial edict.
He asked Grandma Qin to call Uncle Qin: "Get up quickly, take a bath and change clothes, and go together to welcome the imperial edict of amnesty for the world. This is a thing from heaven, don't be contaminated. A little breath can dispel darkness and ensure peace.”
Qin Xiaomi, who was woken up by Grandpa Qin to watch the fun: "..."
My serious and serious father, how come you are always superstitious?
"Hey, I'm going to call him right now." Grandma Qin also attached great importance to welcoming the imperial edict. She hurriedly went to knock on the door of the second uncle Qin and his wife's room, shouting: "Second brother, get up quickly and take a shower and change clothes. We are going. The town has received an imperial edict... a general amnesty for the whole world."
Grandma Qin's voice choked up.
The second son’s ambition since he was a child is to enter the imperial examination, be a good official, clean up the world, and serve the people.
But because of the fraud record, he will not be able to take the scientific examination again in this life. Now that the world is amnesty, the second child is expected to take the scientific examination!
Second Uncle Qin pretended not to hear.
Second Aunt Qin lifted the quilt off his body and tickled him.
Secret Uncle Qin couldn't stand this, so he moved his body to avoid it, and shouted: "You mother-in-law, stop it!"
"Get up, my mother-in-law is calling you. If you kill her, He's crying, my niece wants to deduct our second room's dividends again." Second Aunt Qin continued to tickle him, and whispered: "It's a new emperor, don't you want to see how this new emperor is doing?"
< br>
Hehe, Second Uncle Qin sneered: "It's just an imperial edict praising the Xie family, what else can it do? It's just another puppet of a powerful family... Hey, you shrew, you don't attack lightly or harshly!"
Aunt Qin sneered and said in a low voice: "This family is full of your blood relatives. If you continue to talk, the worst I can do is to be loyal to you." Come on, dig a grave for you and bury them."
"Oh, you are so generous." Uncle Qin said and shouted outside the house: "Mom, I'm getting up now, stop shouting. "Noisy ears."
"Hey, hurry up, lest the water gets cold." Grandma Qin finished her explanation and went back to her work.
More than half an hour later, the remaining families gathered at Qin Xiaomi's house, and followed Grandpa Qin to worship the ancestors of heaven and earth, as well as their deceased relatives.
Tell them: "Today, the emperor's decree of amnesty for the world has arrived in Taifeng Town. From today on, the world will be peaceful again."
Grandpa Qin and grandma Qin have a soul-deep obsession with peace in the world.
For them, the world is peaceful and people can live peacefully without fear or worry.
Qin Xiaomi watched the two elders bowing devoutly, feeling overflowing with genuine joy, and felt a little happy in her heart. Her feelings for this great Wei seemed to have deepened a little.
Everyone in the village had escaped famine and knew the value of peace. Except for Huang Duogui's family and the Huang Wu family who had not yet returned to the village, the entire ghost village villagers got up to offer incense and worship.
However, the villagers were very afraid of the soldiers. They were afraid that if they said something wrong or did something wrong, they would be caught and beheaded on the spot by the Northwest Army. Therefore, many villagers did not dare to go to the town to welcome the imperial edict.
But Old Man Hu, Old Man Qian, and Zhang Niuwang dared to go and were waiting at the west entrance of the village early.
Xu Zheng came out to report: "My old boss, the heads of the Hu family, Qian family, and Zhang family are already waiting at the west entrance of the village."
Grandpa Qin brought a basket and handed it to To Xu Zhengmao: "They must have not eaten breakfast. Let's take these grain cakes to cushion their bellies. We will set off after breakfast."
"Hey." Xu Zhengmao took the basket and Go to the west entrance of the village and answer the question.
Halfway through the hour, Xu Zhengmao came again: "Old boss, the people from Zhoujia Village have arrived at the entrance of the village."
"We will set off now." Grandpa Qin immediately took Uncle Qin, Qin Eryong, and Qin Dashi After waiting for the people to get on the donkey cart, they picked up the head man of Hu Qianzhang's family and headed to the entrance of the village together.
"Brother Qin, I am very happy. At our age, we can see today's grand scene. Our life is not in vain." Old village chief Zhou was full of joy and congratulated with a smile.
