This day is not a day of early morning, but there is such a big movement.First of all, it affected the civil and military officials, and then their family members, servants and so on.

Moreover, the people of the capital are naturally sensitive to politics, so it is strange to hear this bell.

Therefore, the focus of the capital on this day was on the court meeting, and there were all kinds of speculations, but no one thought about what the real thing was.

The weather was not so cold at this time, and a bunch of elders drinking morning tea gathered in the high-end Zhuangyuan building to chat and gossip.

"Do you know, I guess that some local officials may have been arrested for corruption on a large scale. The emperor will call all the civil and military officials to kill chickens and monkeys in front of them." A middle-aged man with the appearance of a businessman guessed.

Upon hearing this, a respectable man cast a disdainful look at the man, and then said proudly: "Nonsense, if there is such a thing, my master is the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so he must know something about it. But I saw it this morning My master hastily went up to the court with a look of doubts on his face."

Earlier, this person was dissatisfied, and retorted loudly: "Maybe the Metropolitan Procuratorate was also involved? It's not like..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by his companion: "Don't talk nonsense, how long has it been!"

Then he turned to the respectable man, and said flatteringly, "He slept late last night and hasn't woken up yet. It's just nonsense. Please forgive me."

The respectable man snorted, ignored the two of them, and ate the restaurant's famous Hangzhou Guantang Bao by himself.

Or in order to liven up the atmosphere that had just calmed down, the person who persuaded him just made a fun guess: "Could it be that Xiyi is causing trouble in the south again?"

"Impossible, isn't it enough to be beaten by Hou Zhongxing?" The people at the other table couldn't help interjecting when they heard this.

As soon as Zhongxing Hou was mentioned, the middle-aged businessman couldn't help guessing again: "When I first came to the capital, it happened that Zhongxing Hou was going to fight. Could it be that he was defeated in a big battle or the whole army was wiped out..."

"impossible!"

"What nonsense!"

"Where did the birdman come from, do you need to be beaten?"

"..."

This person did not expect that his speculation would provoke others again, and this time it was even more serious, almost causing public outrage.

He looked at the diners around him who were glaring at him, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Fortunately, he is a businessman, and it is his instinct to follow the wind.Seeing that the situation was not good, he quickly argued: "I'm sorry, everyone, I was quick to speak and missed a word. What I mean is that Marquis Zhongxing lost a big battle against Jianlu, and even wiped out the whole army of Jianlu. up!"

Hearing his explanation, the diners around stopped their anger and started to eat their own breakfasts.

This outsider doesn't understand the position of Marquis Zhongxing in the hearts of the people in the capital, otherwise he wouldn't have said that even if it was a slip of the tongue.

You know, Marquis Zhongxing is a god who came down to earth, and he was invincible in all battles. When was he ever defeated against Shang Jianlu or Shang Xiyi?More importantly, how many practical things Zhongxing Hou assisted the Chongzhen Emperor did for the people.The capital has changed so much, it's not due to Marquis Zhongxing.

However, after this person said this, other people really discussed this possibility: "It can't be that Lord Hou won a big victory, right?"

"It's possible to win a big battle. It's not like Hou Ye has never fought before. Didn't he just take down the capital of Jianlu before!" Another diner agreed.

An older diner next to this person stroked his beard and shook his head and said: "That's not right, there was no such a big commotion last time. This time, the emperor hit the Jingyang bell and summoned all the civil and military officials to make a big commotion. "

"Could it be that the capital city of Jianlu has been laid down again?" The person who guessed first looked at this person with surprise and asked.

The man was still stroking his beard, and slowly shook his head again: "You think that the capital city of Jianlu is your toilet, and you can come and leave whenever you want? If this was the case, Jianlu would not have attacked the capital a few years ago. The city is down."

"Yeah, Jianlu didn't hear that he ran out to harm others this time. There must be enough soldiers and horses in the capital. Think about it, the capital has many soldiers and the city is strong. Is it so easy to fight?" At the beginning The respectable man in the house also got involved in the gossip.

Now that's all right, a bunch of elders have guessed and guessed, but they can't guess a thing that everyone agrees with.

This kind of chatting while eating is the most time-consuming.Unknowingly, warm sunlight shone on the windows of the Zhuangyuan Building.

While these people were still chatting, they suddenly heard noises coming from outside.It was very loud and noisy, and I couldn't hear what was going on.

The diners who were a little irritable shouted impatiently in the direction of the shopkeeper: "What are you doing, why don't you let people use it early?"

The shopkeeper had already frowned, and when he heard that some diners were dissatisfied, he quickly said to the waiter next to him: "Go and have a look, it's okay, let the people on the street stay away from the noise."

"Okay!" the shop waiter agreed, and walked out of the shop with his legs lifted.With the background of Zhuangyuan Building, people in this area dare not lose face.

When the diners heard it, they were more satisfied, and they chatted among themselves again.

But after Xiao Er went out, the noise outside did not abate at all.The previous diner got impatient and shouted directly: "***, don't eat, pay the bill!"

The shopkeeper was a little annoyed that Xiao Er couldn't do such a simple thing well. Just as he was about to speak, the curtain of the restaurant door was lifted, and Xiao Er rushed in like crazy.

He almost bumped into the diners at the door, but without a trace of apology, his face showed surprise, and he said loudly to the diners who were looking at him: "Jianlu was... destroyed, and Lord Hou won again!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he only heard the sound of bowls and chopsticks falling from the shop, and everyone looked at Xiao Er in disbelief.

"Destroy...Destroy the country?" A quick-response diner stammered.

"Yes, yes, it is the destruction of the country! There are notices posted outside, it is absolutely true! That..."

Before Xiao Er finished speaking, there was a clatter, and all the diners in the restaurant stood up and rushed out.

Only the shopkeeper was left shouting: "Guest officers, you haven't settled the bill yet!"

Not far from the Zhuangyuan building is a notice posting place, which is already full of people.But there were still a large number of people gathered around, trying to see the announcement announcing the good news with their own eyes.There were also a small group of people who squeezed out from the crowd, and then rushed home to announce the great news to their families.

By noon, the people in the capital basically knew the good news, and the whole capital suddenly became like a new year.

Decorated with lanterns and festoons, as well as the sound of firecrackers, the common people used various methods to celebrate this great victory and the destruction of Jianlu.

All the stores dealing in joss sticks and paper money saw a boom in business.What was supposed to be a low season suddenly became a best-selling season, and everything was sold out.

More than 80.00% of the families in the capital had relatives who were directly or indirectly killed by the Jian captives, and they happily reported the good news to those relatives.

After finishing all this work, the people in the capital came to their senses and began to look forward to the triumphant return of the army.
