Chapter 821: Execution on the Dragon Boat Festival
The next two days were relatively quiet.
The news of Gongsun Yan's capture spread like wildfire in Yongding City, and Lu Yuanjin also appeared again in Longshou Mountain. Everything seemed to be developing in the direction that the people of Dahui expected.
The notice to execute Gongsun Yan has not been issued yet, so Chu Xianping probably wants to "warm up" first in order to arouse public anger to the greatest extent possible.
But the news of the entry of 200,000 troops had quietly spread to Yongding City.
Of course, no matter how badly Dahui was damaged, its current national strength could still barely cope with these 200,000 people.
But if Wei Changtian is included, it may not be the case.
Probably because they were afraid of being retaliated by this "Wei Yanluo", the Dahui military did not take any action and just watched the army cross the Dahui border and head straight for Yongding.
From this point of view, the major forces in Dahui will not place any bets, and it is clear that they are waiting for everything to settle.
Should they continue to serve the "old master" or switch to support the "new king"? These powerful people do not feel that the situation is very clear.
After all, no matter what, Wei Changtian did not leave Yongding.
As long as Wei Changtian doesn't leave, the battle for the throne is not over yet.
Everyone understands this principle, but few people know what Wei Changtian is waiting for.
It was not until the early morning of April 28, when a long notice was posted on the bulletin boards in front of various government offices, that some people vaguely realized something.
The notice about the execution of Gongsun Yan was very long, and unlike the previous cold official language, the content this time was painstakingly written and heartfelt.
To put it simply, Lu Yuanjin first carefully "summarized" how much his Lu family had contributed to the development of Dahui and how many achievements they had made.
Then, he mourned deeply for his father Lu Hongji who was killed by Wei Changtian, and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who died on the battlefield of Xinfeng.
Oh, and there is also his younger brother Lu Yuansong and Prince Kang Lu Xiangshan.
In short, rather than calling it a notice, it would be more like a "letter to the people."
After laying the groundwork, Lu Yuanjin changed his writing style and used a lot of words to accuse Gongsun Yan of his crimes.
Collaborating with the enemy, treason, killing civilians, and so on.
Of course, Gongsun Yan did do all these things, and what Lu Yuanjin said was not wrong except that he exaggerated a little.
However, the second half of the notice did not mention a word about the other "accomplice" Wei Changtian.
This is actually not difficult to understand.
After all, Wei Changtian is now living openly in Yongding City, but Lu Yuanjin has no way to deal with him, and he can't even send anyone to pretend to do anything.
Therefore, mentioning it would be slapping yourself in the face, so it is better not to mention it.
However, Gongsun Yan was already in his hands, so he could curse him as much as he wanted.
After a long scolding, the notice ended with: [Gongsun Yan's crimes are so heinous that they are intolerable to the world. Even though he holds the title of marquis, he cannot resist. Therefore, he will be taken to the city office at noon seven days later and executed in public! ]
At this point, the news of the execution of Gongsun Yan was finally made public.
What a coincidence, the fifth day of May seven days later was the Dragon Boat Festival.
If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the most memorable Dragon Boat Festival in the lives of millions of people in Yongding City.
Bamboo Wood Inn.
"Sir, let me know."
Unlike the suddenly noisy atmosphere outside the inn, the courtyard was still quiet.
Zhang San hurried into the study and reported the news to Wei Changtian, but the latter was writing something at the moment and didn't even raise his head.
"Okay, got it."
"Just in time, send this letter back to Shuzhou City."
He wrote the last few words quickly, folded the letter, put it into the envelope, and handed it to Zhang San.
Zhang San took it and took a look. Seeing that there was no name on the envelope, he asked very seriously, "Sir, which lady is this addressed to?"
".Lu Jingyao."
"Yes, I'll do it right away."
Zhang San responded and quickly left the room with the letter.
Wei Changtian shook his wrist as if relieved, as if writing a letter had exhausted him.
After traveling through time for so long, he has now fully adapted to daily communication, but he is still not very proficient in writing letters.
Therefore, I delayed replying to Lu Jingyao for several days, and finally dealt with it today.
"Alas, they said before that they would vigorously promote Mandarin."
Recalling the ambition he set when he first arrived in Shuzhou and was tortured by the task of writing a letter, Wei Changtian muttered softly and threw the brush into the brush washer.
Yang Liushi, who was standing by, was helping him wash his brush while curiously asking:
"Husband, what is Mandarin?"
"It's just the vernacular."
Wei Changtian curled his lips and said, "Why can't we use vernacular when writing letters?"
"Goose, goose, goose, that's someone else."
Yang Liushi smiled and said, "Even if you write in vernacular, no one will dare to say anything."
"Too."
After being reminded by Yang Liushi, Wei Changtian suddenly realized that with his current status, he could indeed "do whatever he wants" in many things.
Not to mention using Cantonese, no one would dare to stop you even if you wrote a letter in English.
"By the way, where's Li Zimu?"
Shaking his head and not thinking about these things anymore, Wei Changtian asked in confusion, "I haven't seen her this morning. Could she have gone to look for Chu Xianping?"
"Hehe, if Zimu really went to find Chu Xianping, how could he not tell you?"
Yang Liushi gently shook the washed brush, and her fair wrists under her rolled-up sleeves looked like white lotus roots.
"She went to learn cooking from Miss Qin."
"Learn to cook?"
Wei Changtian was puzzled: "Is she bored? Why is she learning this?"
"Well, it's never a bad thing for a girl to be a good cook."
Yang Liushi smiled and said, "Maybe she can marry into a good family."
"Forget it, marriage is fate."
Wei Changtian rolled his eyes: "You, Wan'er, and Qin'er all can't cook, so you won't marry well."
"Hehe, my husband, you are so shameless."
Yang Liushi's smile widened: "How can you praise yourself like this?"
"Just the truth."
Wei Changtian sighed: "Li Zimu's luck in this regard is not as good as yours."
"yes."
The smile on her face gradually faded, and Yang Liushi echoed softly, "In fact, I have always felt that Mr. Tang and Zimu are a good match, but I didn't expect it to end up like this."
"Tsk, what happened to Tang Chen was entirely her own fault."
Wei Changtian said disdainfully: "It's obvious that Chu Xianping is not as interested in her as Tang Chen, but she still chose Chu Xianping. Who can she blame?"
"But love always requires mutual affection."
Yang Liushi shook her head and argued for Li Zimu, "Zimu just likes Chu Xianping, there's nothing we can do about it."
"Okay, okay, I won't argue with you anymore."
Wei Changtian waved his hand and stood up. He stopped debating with Yang Liushi about Li Zimu's emotional issues. He muttered to himself and prepared to go out to find a notice to read.
But at this moment, Zhang San, who had just left, appeared in front of him again.
"Sir, Chu An wants to see you."
