Chapter 828: The earth is in turmoil
Before the sun first rose, the east was white, and many things continued to float out of the canal that led out of Luoyang City, because the sky was not completely bright, it was not really visible, but until the drift was far away and the distance was close, many Shenwu soldiers exclaimed. 八?一?Chinese Net? ≥≠≈.≥8=1≤Z=≈.COM
"Murder in the city again!"
Floating out of the canal in the city was a corpse in a different place, and as the sun slowly rose, the original black surface of the river also showed its true color, and it was actually a terrifying blood red!
Last night, An Shouzhong carried out another purge of unprecedented scale in the city, and all the people he suspected were recorded in a list, and then his subordinates and cronies went to take people and kill people according to this list! Because of the previous experience, this time the execution from taking people to the execution went very smoothly, and when the sky was bright, the people who should have been killed had already been killed.
As for how many people were killed, even the lieutenant general in charge of the matter could not say, and no one had registered these pending checkmates for the purpose of the battle.
"At least there are about 20,000 people, and this time even women and young children have not been spared!"
When General Zhonglang talked about this, there was still palpitations on his face, after all, it was very sad to let him order to attack the child who had not yet reached the full moon. But the military order is like a mountain, and there must be no ambiguity, otherwise it is likely that he and his family will be purged.
Da Xixun rarely pays attention to these things, but after a long conversation with his wife Cui last night, he feels that it is still necessary to understand the inside story.
According to Cui's statement, An Shouzhong will be liquidated by the Tang Dynasty sooner or later for these inhumane massacres, and he is afraid that Da Xixun will not be able to speak clearly and will be inseparable from these things.
In order not to be unclear in the future, Da Xixun deliberately pretended to meet by chance, so he picked up the key points and asked a few words.
This Zhonglang general, who was in charge of the execution, was also a decent person, and told everything he knew.
"The general has worked hard!"
After asking a few words, Da Xixun talked a few more words, seemingly casual, but there were waves inside, and his mood was difficult to calm down for a long time.
An Shouzhong used to look like a good man, but who would have thought that he was such a good man, and he was killed nearly 50,000 people by two massacres in a row.
People who have been in battle for a long time may think that 50,000 casualties are nothing, but An Shouzhong killed not only ordinary soldiers, but also the old cronies who followed An Lushan to raise troops against the Tang Dynasty, and these hundreds of destroyed families were the pillars of the Dayan Imperial Court in a short period of time, but now it's good, if you say kill, you will kill them all, aren't you afraid that even the hearts of the people will be killed together?
These words have not been said by anyone, just after the first massacre, a very old minister once questioned An Shouzhong in front of him in the political affairs hall. During the Tang Dynasty, this minister served as a county guard, an interview envoy and other high-ranking local officials, and also won the trust of An Lushan.
However, An Shouzhong's answer was also very simple and calm, the next day, this person's family was uprooted, and nearly 100 ranks, large and small, were hung in the West Market to show the public.
From then on, when people talked about it, especially anything that involved An Shouzhong, everyone was very secretive and cautious.
According to the usual practice, Da Xixun will go to the political hall to sit in the government hall after sunrise as soon as possible, although the actual official affairs are controlled by An Shouzhong's cronies, but what should be done still has to be done, not to mention that in addition, he must wait for An Qingxu's summons at any time.
As soon as he arrived at the political affairs hall and had not yet sat down, Da Xixun suddenly felt a slight tremor under his feet. At first he thought it was his own delusion, but soon a louder tremor came from his feet, this time very clear, without the possibility of delusion.
"The earth moved, the earth moved!"
I don't know who shouted first, and everyone shook their heads like frightened mice. It's easy to catch up with this kind of thing, but once you catch up, you are likely to be stoned to death by the collapse of the house!
Many young scholars rushed to the courtyard, Da Xixun was old, and his psychological quality was not good, so he was so frightened that he couldn't lift his legs. It wasn't until the third and fourth tremors came clearly from under his feet that he seemed to pull out his legs this time.
However, the bustling crowd in the courtyard stood dry for half an hour, and there was no scene of the house collapsing, and the people let out a long sigh, which seemed to be a false alarm. However, the bad news came again. There was an inexplicable ground movement at the Changxia Gate in the south of the city, dozens of cracks appeared on the city wall, and an enemy tower that had been in disrepair for a long time collapsed because of this.
The situation in the south of Luoyang and Chang'an is almost the same, with a large area of wasteland, so the maintenance is naturally different from the north of the city, where the palace city and countless government offices are located, and it is not strange to collapse an enemy tower.
"Are there any casualties?"
Da Xixun is worthy of being a magistrate, and his level of asking questions is much higher than that of those officials and historians who sit in the court.
The messenger replied with a smile:
"There was an unlucky guy who was hit in the head by a wooden beam falling from the enemy building, and he was hopeless!"
It was really a false alarm, and a casualty was nothing to Luoyang City.
But Da Xixun, who is sensitive by nature, still has an ominous premonition, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will be used to make a big fuss about the ground for no reason, as for the article, he can imagine it with his eyes closed.
"Da Xi Xianggong, Da Xi Xianggong can enter the palace immediately!"
The eunuch of his life opened the crowd, sweating profusely, and looked around.
At this time, the political hall was still in a chaotic manner, and everyone was frightened, so it was naturally impossible to return to the house so soon.
"The old man is here!"
The eunuch wiped the sweat from his face over and over again, and shouted:
"It's great that Da Xi Xianggong is here, Your Majesty is anxious to see you, hurry, go with the slave!"
This eunuch Da Xixun recognized that he had fed it with gold leaves, so he came over in three or two steps, and asked in a low voice:
"Did Your Majesty say anything about summoning you?"
The eunuch lowered his voice and replied:
"The earth just moved, and Xiang Gong could feel it? Your Majesty made a great nameless fire, and some people were whipped for it. ”
Knowing that it was because of this heavy and light earth movement, Da Xixun felt a lot more stable in his heart, and weaved his words to deal with An Qingxu while walking.
The government hall was just outside the Mingde Gate in Miyagi, and in the past, it only took him less than a quarter of an hour to see An Qingxu. However, since the palace city was burned by fire for nearly half of the time, An Qingxu moved back to his private residence of King Jin in the city, and if he took a car, he would have to walk for at least half an hour. So, they all rode on horseback.
Under the scorching sun, he finally arrived at the old residence of King Jin. Who knew that before entering the door, there were urgent reports one after another.
"It's reversed, it's reversed, the defenders of the Upper East Gate and Jianchun Gate are reversed......"
The military official who delivered the letter recognized Da Xixun, and naturally told him the truth about the content of the urgent report.
This frightened Da Xixun, who would have thought that the ominous premonition was confirmed here.
"How many anti-thieves are there?"
"Back to the prime minister, things are in a hurry, and every accurate number is for a while, and there are more than 1,000 people to say less!"
The scale of more than 1,000 people is not enough to threaten the defense of Luoyang City, but if it is not handled well, it will also bring a lot of trouble. However, this is not something that Da Xixun should worry about and worry about. That's all the trouble An Shouzhong has to face, with this prime minister who is known for his cold-blooded and brutal killing, a rebellion of thousands of people will soon be put down.
After seeing An Qingxu, Da Xixun realized that An Qingxu's situation was much worse than he had thought before.
An Qingxu still looks like a cloak, but his eye sockets seem to be sunken deeper, and his eyes are flickering and dull.
"The earth moves, the earth moves, the unjust ghost asks for his life, the unjust ghost asks for his life......"
repeatedly chattering about the earth and ghosts, where is this still the son of heaven, he is clearly a madman full of nonsense.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there are only a few cracks on the city wall, and there is no big problem......"
An Qingxu reacted at this time.
"It's okay, that's good, that's good!"
Da Xixun couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for this poor genius, and there were military reports of rebellion waiting for him, but he didn't know if he could still withstand the excitement.
However, An Qingxu is the son of Dayan after all, and no one dares to hide this kind of thing, nor can it hide it.
"Your Majesty still has important military affairs, and there is a rebellion in the city!"
However, An Qingxu's reaction did not change as Da Xixun expected once again.
When he heard the news that someone had rebelled, he calmed down.
"Which rebel, from the thief geometry?"
"The minister has just gotten the news, it is said that there may be about a thousand people, and the specific situation will be presented soon!"
"The military affairs are in the hands of the Minister An, I am very relieved, and the thousands of people will be pacified soon......!
An Qingxu suddenly paused, and it seemed that the next words were extremely difficult to say.
Da Xixun sat quietly, not in a hurry, if An Qingxu wanted to say it, he would say it sooner or later. If he doesn't say it, he doesn't want to know.
As for An Qingxu, even Da Xixun only has the mind to deal with it, what else can a son of heaven who only knows how to sleep and beat people all day long have to be awe-inspired? It is no wonder that An Shouzhong rudely broke into this "dormitory" that day, and startled the dignified son of heaven from the couch.
Presumably this guy had already realized it, and suddenly, a strange thought popped out of Da Xixun's mind.
But then, he was frightened by this strange thought and broke out in a cold sweat, and his whole body trembled involuntarily. He pressed his left hand with his right hand, and it was with great difficulty that he stopped the abnormal state of his body.
"Da Xiqing's body is uncomfortable, why is his face so ugly?"
An Qingxu suddenly asked, Da Xixun was shocked, and hurriedly replied:
"Minister, minister may have eaten something unclean, in the abdomen, in the abdomen with a burst of cramps......"
