Great Tang’s Talented Little Landlord

This time the Forbidden Army was beating gongs and drums all over the city, but the words that were preached surprised the people in the city and the bureaucrats.

Originally, they didn’t believe the words of the Forbidden Army at all. They thought it was Lord Marquis Madam who was fooling them.

Especially the book officials of the County Official, fearing that their arms cant twist their thighs, so they simply promoted in the city that the corpses of the dead from the epidemic would be burned. They wanted to spur the people of the city to oppose this. People were alarmed.

In these days, no one wants the corpses of their relatives to be burned.

If someone dared to do this, they would have a desperate heart.

So two days ago, the Propaganda of the Forbidden Army beating gongs and drums to contaminate the corpse of the epidemic, no one believed it, even snort disdainfully, thinking that Lord Marquis Madam was playing with them as fools.

Although the body of a large head plague patient will turn black after death, no one knows the reason, but everyone also does not believe that it is a pandemic, contaminating the body with filth.

But early this morning, the two hundred forbidden soldiers took to the streets again. After they knocked on the gong to attract everyones attention, they shouted: “Everyone, listen carefully, Dao Zutou dreamed of Hu County Marquis and told Yan Ling The countys epidemic is haunting, and the corpse was contaminated with filthy things and was not dealt with as soon as possible, so the heavens were also harmed. Todays sun in the sky will be swallowed up by the epidemic for some time because of this matter. Although the Taoist ancestors mana is strong, it can quickly Disperse the plagued ghosts from swallowing the sun, but if these contaminated corpses in the world are not burned as soon as possible, then the world will be messed up, and the plagued ghosts will take the opportunity to mess up the world. By then, even the Daoist Immortal and Daoist in the sky will be powerless!”

Again and again, they proclaimed loudly everywhere in the city, but they heard the people browse tightly frowns.

The epidemic devours the sun?

How is this possible?

Many people looked up subconsciously towards the sun just rising, and couldnt help saying silently in the heart: “Daozu bless, Daozu bless!”

Regardless of whether people believe it or not , This matter in the heart has hit a big question mark.

Because this matter if Hu County Marquis and Lord Marquis Madam fooled them, it would be too easy to be exposed.

If there is no epidemic ghost swallowing the sun today, does it mean that this is simply a scam?

In that case, what is the point of Hu County Marquis ordering people to spread the word?

In Yanling County, because of the promulgation of the Forbidden Army, it suddenly became lively.

Although everyone was strictly forbidden to walk out of the memory archway gate, the people in the square still couldn’t bear the surprise in their hearts. They walked out of their house and started talking with their neighbors in the neighborhood.

“Dalang, do you think this is true or false? Is it true that the bodies of people who died because of the epidemic are contaminated with filth?”

“Bah, Lao Tzu I dont believe this kind of nonsense! In my opinion, this must be the Hu County Marquis again, who came up with words to trick me into waiting. There is no good thing for these officials!”

“Everyone, you guys Dont know? A few days ago, many people died in the lifang on the city wall, which was used to house sick families. Those people were dragged out of the city overnight by the Lord Marquis, and they were fired. Burned! For this, many family members of the sick are crying and crying at the County Official.”

“Tsk, are you saying that Lord Marquis is crazy? Actually let me wait to burn the body , This matter has been unheard-of since ancient times! If this corpse is burned to ashes, I am afraid that it will suffer more if it goes down there?”

“Isn’t it? We are not the high monks in Shamen, After death, he can be taken to Western Bliss. If this corpse is burned, the ancestors will not even receive an incense offering in the future.”

“Let me say, what epidemic ghost swallows the sun, it is simply nonsense Lets talk!”

County Official staff members, who also gathered in the County Official at this time, whispered to each other.

But no matter what, the voice of the Forbidden Army shouted in the city almost broke, but almost no one believed it.

What the Forbidden Army preached in the city for these two days was naturally what Li Wangyou taught Su Changqing.

At that time, he was full of brains on how to fool the people in the city, but his eyes were stung by the sunlight.

When he covered the shade with his hands, Li Wangyou’s mind suddenly popped out.

“April, Jiazishuo, there is an eclipse of the sun.”

This is a record in the “Zizhitongjian” about the occurrence of a solar eclipse in Great Tang in the fourth year of Zhenguan.

Jiazishuo is April 1st, April Fool’s Day for later generations.

Li Wangyou asked the Qing dynasties that it was March 27th of the fourth year of Zhenguan, and immediately thought of using the solar eclipse, dressing up as God, playing the devil, to fool the tens of thousands of people in the city.

Solar eclipse, even elementary school students in later generations can clearly explain its theory.

But in China, it has been a bad omen since ancient times.

Usually, people call a solar eclipse Day of Heavenly Dog Feast, “” stands for Celestial Emperor, and Emperor is Son of Heaven. If there is a solar eclipse, it is a bad omen that evildoers violate the emperor’s rule.

Solar eclipse is not only ominous, but also ominous.

In fact, this is not only the case in China, but in an era when astronomy is not yet perfect, the attitudes of countries in the world towards solar eclipses are almost the same.

So, when a solar eclipse occurs, these things will be solemnly recorded in history books.

Li Wangyou recalled the historical records that the solar eclipse was about to occur on April 1st of Zhenguan 4th year, so he immediately thought of using this solar eclipse to solve the difficulty of cremation of corpses in the city.

Since the people are ignorant, blind propaganda may not be effective, and time does not wait. At this time, using the solar eclipse to fabricate the phrase “epidemic swallowing the sun” is the most effective way to frighten them.

Li Wangyou not only intended to scare the people of Yanling County, he also immediately wrote a memorial and asked Kuaima to send it to Zhengzhou, and presented it to Li Er who had been staying in Zhengzhou and was watching the epidemic in Xuzhou.

He was also in the memorial, and attributed the event of a solar eclipse that was about to occur three days later to the “epidemic ghost swallowing the sun”.

Li Wangyou wrote this memorial to Li Er, naturally to prepare himself in advance, so as not to impeach him in the future when the Imperial Censor, who is so idle, burned his corpse.

At the same time, Li Wangyou is also helping Li Er.

After all, the solar eclipse in the Tang Dynasty was an unknown omen, and it was usually attributed to the emperors failure of virtue and the ruling party.

Li Wangyou sent a memorial to Li Er three days in advance, stating that this was the cause of Xuzhou’s epidemic, and he naturally avoided the criticism from the officials in the future.

After all, although Li Er and Li Wangyou, their uncles and nephews, through the gold theft case, fiercely scammed a handful of Aristocratic family members and put Wang Renyou, Zheng Yuanshou and the Others have been swept out of the court, but the influence of the Aristocratic Family in the Imperial court is still not to be underestimated.

This kind of trouble can be avoided or avoided.

What’s more, apart from being very stubborn about marrying Changle to him, Li Er is really serious about Li Wangyou, so Li Wangyou is also reciprocating his love, and he has not forgotten to give back to his Uncle.

But the memorial of Li Wangyou, sent to Zhengzhou, has also caused a lot of trouble…
