Great Tang's Talented Little Landlord

Chapter 853



This time, the forbidden army beat gongs and drums all over the city, but the words publicized surprised the people, yamen service and scribes in the city.

Originally, they didn\'t believe the words of the forbidden army at all. They thought it was just the Marquis\'s wife fooling them.

In particular, the scribes and yamen servants of the county government were afraid that their arms could not twist their thighs, so they simply preached around the city about the dead of the epidemic and the burning of their bodies, trying to stir up the people of the whole city to oppose it, causing panic among the people.

These days, no one wants the bodies of their relatives to be burned by a fire.

If someone dares to do so, they have a desperate heart.

Therefore, two days ago, the forbidden army publicized that the plague ghost polluted the corpse with gongs and drums. Everyone didn\'t believe it or even sneered at it. They thought that the Marquis\'s wife was playing with them as fools.

Although no one knows why the bodies of patients with bighead plague turn black after death, they also don\'t believe that it is the plague ghost that pollutes the bodies with filth.

But early this morning, the 200 forbidden men went to the street again, struck gongs to attract people\'s attention, and shouted: "Listen up, the Taoist ancestor asked the Marquis of Menghu county to tell him that because of the plague ghost in Yanling County, the corpse was polluted by filthy things and was not dealt with as soon as possible, so the heaven was also hurt. The sun in the sky today will be swallowed up by the plague ghost for some time because of this. Although the Taoist ancestor has high magic power and can quickly dispel the plague ghost swallowing the sun, if these contaminated corpses on earth are not treated as soon as possible If it is burned, the world will be in chaos, and the plague ghost will take the opportunity to bring disaster to the world. At that time, even the gods and Taoist ancestors in the sky will be powerless! "

The forbidden army shouted around the city again and again, but the people frowned.

Plague ghost swallowing day?

How is this possible?

Many people subconsciously looked up at the newly rising sun and couldn\'t help saying in their hearts: "bless the Taoist ancestors, bless the Taoist ancestors!"

Whether the people believe it or not, the matter has a big question mark in their hearts.

Because it would be too easy to expose this matter if it was still Huxian Hou and his wife fooling them.

If there is no plague ghost swallowing the sun today, doesn\'t it mean that this is a fraud at all?

In that case, Huxian Hou ordered people to publicize everywhere. What\'s the significance?

In Yanling County, because of the propaganda of the forbidden army, it suddenly became lively.

Although the people were strictly forbidden to go out of the gate, the people in the square still couldn\'t bear the fear in their hearts. They went out of their house one after another and whispered with the neighbors around them.

"Dalang, do you think it\'s true or false? Are the bodies of people who died of epidemic ghosts really polluted by filth?"

"Bah, I don\'t believe such nonsense! In my opinion, it must be the words of the Marquis of Huxian County who wanted to deceive me. These officials don\'t have a good thing!"

"You guys, don\'t you know? A few days ago, many people died in the lane beside the city wall, which was specially used to house the sick. Those people were dragged out of the city overnight by the Marquis and burned by a fire! For this, many families of the sick are crying in the county government office."

"Tut Tut, do you think the Marquis is crazy? It\'s unheard of to let us burn the corpse. If the corpse is burned to ashes, I\'m afraid it will suffer even more down there?"

"Isn\'t it? We\'re not the eminent monks in the Salmonella. We can be taken to Western bliss after death. If the body is burned, our ancestors won\'t even receive a incense offering in the future."

"If I say, what epidemic ghosts swallow the day is nonsense!"

At this time, the scribes of the county government also gathered in the county government, talking to each other about the matter.

But anyway, the voice of the forbidden army in the city was almost broken, but almost no one believed it.

What the imperial guards preached in the city these two days is naturally what Li forgets worry taught Su Changqing.

He was full of how to deceive the people in the city, but his eyes were hurt by the sunshine in the sky.

When he covered the shade with his hands, Li forgot to worry, and a paragraph jumped out of his mind.

"In April, jiazishuo, the sun has food."

This is recorded in Zizhi Tongjian about the solar eclipse in the Tang Dynasty in the fourth year of Zhenguan.

Jiazishuo is April 1, April Fool\'s day for future generations.

Li forgets to worry about asking the dandies of the Qing Dynasty that it was March 27, the fourth year of Zhenguan. Immediately after that, he thought of using the solar eclipse to play tricks and deceive tens of thousands of people in the city.

The principle of solar eclipse can be explained clearly by even primary school students in future generations.

But in China, it has been an ominous omen since ancient times.

Usually, people call solar eclipses "dog eclipses". The "day" represents the emperor of heaven, and the emperor is the son of heaven. If there is a solar eclipse, it is a bad omen for demons to invade the emperor\'s rule.

The solar eclipse is not only unlucky, but also very unlucky.

In fact, not only in China, but also in an era when astronomy is not yet perfect, there is little difference in the attitudes of countries around the world towards solar eclipses.

Therefore, when the eclipse occurs, these events will be solemnly recorded in history books.

Li forgot to worry about recalling the historical records that there was a solar eclipse on April 1, the fourth year of Zhenguan, so he immediately thought of using this solar eclipse to solve the difficulty of cremation of corpses in the city.

Since the people are stupid, blindly publicizing may not be effective, and time waits for no man. At this time, the most effective way is to use the solar eclipse to fabricate a saying of "epidemic ghosts swallowing the sun" to scare them.

Li forget worry not only intended to frighten the people of Yanling County, but also immediately wrote a memorial to send the express horse to Zhengzhou and present it to Li Er, who has been staying in Zhengzhou and watching the epidemic in Xuzhou.

In his memorials, he attributed the solar eclipse to the "plague ghost swallowing the day" in three days.

Li forgot to worry about writing this memorial to Li Er, naturally in order to pave the way for himself in advance, so as not to impeach him with the burning of his body in the future imperial court.

At the same time, Li forgets worry, which is also helping Li Er out.

After all, the solar eclipse in the Tang Dynasty is an ominous omen, and it is usually attributed to the emperor\'s immorality and the treacherous party in power.

Li forgot to worry three days in advance and sent a memorial to Li Er, saying that it was the plague ghost of Xuzhou, which naturally avoided the criticism of the officials in the future.

After all, although Li Er and Li forget worry, their uncles and nephews, by making the "gold theft case", ruthlessly pit an aristocratic family gate and sweep Wang Renyou, Zheng Yuanshou and others out of the court, the power of the aristocratic family can still not be underestimated in the court.

This kind of trouble can be avoided.

Besides, Li Er is very stubborn and wants to marry Changle to him. He is sincere about Li forgetful. Therefore, Li forgets to repay his uncle.

However, Li forgot to worry about this memorial and sent it to Zhengzhou, but it also led to a lot of trouble
