Chapter 471 Longevity Festival, Chaotic Night (1)
Li Ganshun appeared on the palace wall and immediately made the atmosphere in front of the palace reach its highest point. After a moment of amazement, the people had already cheered. Then a large number of people had fallen down automatically and bowed to the high emperor. They shouted loudly: "We wish the emperor a long life and a long life for our country of Xia forever..."
Even though these people's voices were not neat because of the lack of leadership, the voices could not be fully transmitted to the top, just looking at their pious and excited appearances, it was possible to know how much they respected and loved Li Ganshun. This scene fell on the palace walls and made them feel relieved. Our Xia Kingdom was as powerful as the emperor's country, and under the leadership of the emperor, it would be able to rise faster and surpass the Song and Liao countries.
As for the envoys of the Song and Liao countries who came with him, he had a different feeling at this time - the Xia State now has a unity that they do not have, so it would be of great benefit to their own country if they could win over Xia State, even if they had to pay some price. Of course, the demands made by Xia State this time were too harsh but not what they could do. They had to wait until they returned to the court and then the king of their country made the final decision.
Sun Tu, who had retreated for a long distance without realizing it, looked up at Li Ganshunshi standing on the palace wall and his eyes flashed: "A king that is so popular with the people is indeed too critical for a country. I just don't know what solutions do you have to deal with when chaos is about to arise?" Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly drooped, sweeping towards the surging crowds ahead. According to the previous agreement, an accident will begin.
Li Ganshun looked at everything in front of him with satisfaction, then took another step, and began to say some inspiring words in a majestic voice: "I have been in the throne for decades and have never dared to slack off at night. Now, looking at the prosperity of our Xia Kingdom, it proves that my painstaking efforts are correct! I believe that as long as my Xia Kingdom's ruler and ministers are united, I will be able to fulfill the ambitions of our ancestors, become the true master of the world, and let our party and Xiang tribe stand at the top of all races!"
These words immediately aroused the people's cheers like roaring mountains and seas again. At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly shook his hands, and a handful of yellow copper coins were sprinkled into the air: "Long live the emperor, long live the Xia Kingdom!"
The people around were stunned when they saw this action, and then someone quickly reacted and immediately bent down to pick up the copper coins that had just fallen to the ground. The movements here also quickly attracted the attention of others around them. Then more people rushed to this side and shouted to grab the copper coins.
The people in Xingzhou City respect the emperor is certainly true, but compared with the benefits that are close to the hand, the emperor can put it aside first. You should know that it is the copper coins cast by the Song State, the hardest hard currency in the Western Xia State, which is enough to scatter many people's eyes and make them ignore them. What's more important is that the man was still scattering the copper coins in his hand with all his might, and in a moment he had sprinkled hundreds of copper coins around. How can everyone not be greedy? Can the emperor be compared to the yellow copper coins after winning the hearts of the people?
Not only was the area opposite the main entrance of the palace, but also in other directions, some people threw out copper coins in large quantities. This made the people present no longer calm. Countless people began to bend down and try to find and pick up copper coins everywhere on the ground. Some even lay on the ground to draw nearby copper coins with their hands.
At the same time, people who were a little farther away were anxious and shouted to come here, and their actions quickly made people from farther away discover this situation. With greed, thousands of people began to stop calm and rushed to the places where the copper coins were thrown, thinking of picking up even a copper coins from the ground.
Suddenly, the people in the square, which was already quite orderly, were in chaos! After a moment, screams kept ringing, and followed by surprise.
You should know that the square can accommodate tens of thousands of people in Xingzhou. It can be said that people are crowded with people, shoulders touching their shoulders. If they just stand up and kneel down, it would be fine, but now countless people are starting to fight forward, some are deliberately pushing forward, some are pushed and pulled forward, and many are still kneeling on the ground, wanting to pick up more copper coins... So, the tragedy broke out at this moment!
The uncontrolled people kept crowding towards one place, and it was hard to consider whether there were other people under their feet. Then several feet stomped on the guys who were blinded by the copper coins, and completely stomped on the ground. In this way, these people were so miserable. Before they could scream, there were several big feet on the other side, and even dozens of feet came one after another, and in an instant, the screams were already screaming!
Those greedy people were trampled to death in a blink of an eye. Some people struggled hard before their death, and with their hands and feet, they pulled some people in front of them down, so these people followed their footsteps. After discovering this sudden tragedy, the people around were even more panicked and shouted and wanted to go to the side. However, under the same heart, the crowding situation became more and more serious. Some people were thin and frivolous, and those who were knocked down and overturned by others at that time, so another group of people became unjust souls under the feet of the panicked people.
When screams kept ringing around, the people in the square were completely panicked. They began to run around, thinking about leaving this dangerous place as soon as possible. Some people even ran towards the palace gate regardless of concern.
At this time, everyone on and under the palace wall was stunned by such incidents. Li Qianshun's face turned pale. He really didn't expect that on the day of his birthday, in front of his palace, such a tragic disaster would happen in front of him, and people were constantly trampled to death. This would be a big blow to him.
It was only after a while that he suddenly came back from his shock and shouted quickly: "Send someone to rescue the people and maintain order below!" The ministers then reacted, and Moshohe even shouted loudly: "Send troops to come forward and let the people disperse quickly..."
And at this moment, while everyone was focusing on the series of tragedies below, a black shadow had been approaching the palace wall. Until it had entered the defense range of the imperial guards in front, he stopped, and then quickly took out the bow and arrow, and fired a sharp arrow towards Li Qianshun, who was reflected by the candle above.
When the sound of arrows breaking through the air suddenly sounded, the people on the wall suddenly came to their senses and shouted: "There are assassins!" Then a group of imperial guards rushed to Li Ganshun and swung their swords to block the cold arrow that had been exhausted after passing dozens of steps. Although this arrow did not pose any threat to the emperor, it was already scared to everyone on the wall. The chief general of the imperial guard Helianba immediately pulled the emperor and ran down, and at the same time ordered: "No one is allowed to approach the palace gate, and those who violate the order will be killed without mercy!" For him, nothing is more important than keeping the emperor from being hurt and frightened.
As the ministers surrounded the emperor and quickly went down, the order was conveyed again, and the situation outside became worse. Because at this time, dozens of frightened people who were running around like headless flies ran straight towards the palace gate.
The imperial guards, who had already received the order, shouted loudly and asked them to retreat quickly. But for a moment, how could these people reacted and still blindly moved forward. So the imperial guards carried out the orders above without hesitation, treating them as ill-conspirators. They shot out a bunch of arrows and fell down immediately.
At this moment, someone immediately shouted in the crowd: "The emperor is going to kill us! Run!"
This was like adding oil to the burning fire, which immediately made the already messy scene more uncontrollable. People began to rush out, pushing down, and trampling on the people in front of them. The old and weak didn't even have the ability to protect themselves, and instantly became a pool of mud under the feet of many people...
"Let me go, let go, just an assassin, I'm scared you all. Now that the palace is in chaos, how can I hide in the palace and do anything?" After finally calming down, Li Ganshun suddenly shook off the trustees around him who were pulling him to avoid the palace and scolded loudly. Then he quickly turned around and wanted to return to the palace wall to stop the chaos in front of him from further deteriorating.
"Emperor, no, now it's completely messy outside, no one knows what will happen..." Mo Ghokhe hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him. After hesitating, the prince came up again and said, "Father, I think it's better to take care of the dragon body first, and things are no longer controlled..."
"It's ridiculous. They are all my people. How can I let them suffer without asking?" Li Ganshun could no longer care about them and immediately walked back with great strides. Seeing that he was furious, everyone dared not persuade him, so they could only follow him back to the wall with panic on his face.
At this time, the square outside the palace wall had already turned into a hellish scene on earth. The frightened people had no longer cared about anything else. They just wanted to run forward and escape from this terrible place. Some people even pulled out their swords and slashed at the road blocker in front, so screams were endless, and people kept falling down...
"How...how is this happening?" Li Ganshun was a person who had experienced many storms, but everything he showed in front of him still left him at a loss. He never thought that things would become so out of control!
The ministers around him were also full of anxiety and surprise at this time, but for a moment they didn't know what to say. What they didn't know was that now was just the beginning of this chaos...
