Da Xixun and Yang Chaozong were escorted into Chang'an City three days later, and the officials in charge of receiving the prisoners deliberately made a big noise, arranging the time to enter the city after noon, which was the time when the most pedestrians and merchants in the market, and the prisoner car procession entered the city from Yanxing Gate on the east side of Chang'an until Shengpingfang and then went north to Dongshi. The sound of the gong opening the way soon attracted a large number of onlookers.

Many people don't know why they are pointing and talking about who is being held in the prison car.

In fact, there are wooden signs several feet square nailed to the prisoner car, on which are written with people's names in black paint, but most of them are illiterate and still do not know why.

After all, there were people who knew how to read and hyphenate among the onlookers, and finally read out the names on the wooden signs.

"Traitor, Henan Yin Da Xi Xun...... Yang Chaozong ......"

The people of Yang Chaozong are not clear, but many people in Henan Yin Da Xi Xun still know it, and he is a traitor who voted for the thief, and now he is pulled back by the prisoner car, and he knows without thinking about it, he must have been captured by the Eastern Expeditionary Army.

"Kill this dog thief!"

Someone in the boiling crowd shouted angrily for the first time, which was like a spark falling into a gunpowder pile, and the entire market was quickly ignited and detonated.

People crowded forward, and who had no relatives died in the flames of war, and who had no relatives who became the food of those thieves? This kind of bitter hatred cannot be wiped out when life returns to peace.

The common people's thoughts were very simple: If it were not for these traitors and traitors to help them in the abuse, how could the rebels have entered Guanzhong? And Da Xixun was such an important high-ranking official as Henan Yin, so it is not surprising that people focused their anger on this person.

Stones, clods of soil and even shoes smashed into the prisoner car like hailstones, and even though there was a wooden fence to block it, Da Xixun was still smashed in embarrassment. However, he had nearly 100 catties of locks on his body, and even if he wanted to, he couldn't do it.

At this time, Da Xixun still looked like a half-important minister, with a green robe that was filthy and tattered, his face was covered with sweat, dust and city mud, and there were a few dry cracks on his white lips. It was just a tortured fifty-year-old man, and at first he wanted to argue, but which of the people would listen to him, and all he could respond to was more stones and clods. Seeing that he was helpless, Da Xixun could only close his eyes in despair and humiliation and let himself suffer this double humiliation.

Suddenly, Da Xixun felt that his face was sticky and wet, and there was a faint temperature, and then the stench poured into his nose and mouth, and when he opened his eyes, he found that it was a ball of feces and urine wrapped in rags that had been smashed down by his head.

Da Xixun wiped a handful of sleeves on his face with his unrecognizable colors, and he didn't even dare to look at the angry crowd, so he only opened his mouth and cried dryly.

"God, Da Xixun only wants to die quickly, only wants to die quickly!"

The procession of prisoner cars blocked the streets of Dongshi to Jingzhao Mansion for a whole afternoon, and it was not until the sound of the drums from the drum tower that the guards in charge of the curfew came to disperse the people who refused to leave.

Taiji Palace, Ganlu Palace. Li Heng, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, glanced at Jingzhao Yin and Cui Guangyuan, who bowed down to report today's situation.

"With so many people gathering to besiege the prisoner car, it's not a pity for Da Xixun to die, but once the situation gets out of control and the people trample on each other, do you know the consequences?"

As early as the Shangyuan Festival in the sixth year of Tianbao, tens of thousands of people who watched the lanterns stampeded because of the loss of control of order, and the guards in charge of public security could not rush in to maintain order, and some people even took advantage of the chaos to commit murder and robbery. Hundreds of people were trampled to death and injured that night, and the whole court was shaken.

At that time, Jing Zhaoyin was exiled by Li Longji because of this, thinking of this, Cui Guangyuan's face, forehead, and temples were already sweating. He wanted to explain that these things were all caused by those officials, and by the time he learned about it, it was too late to go to Dongshi to deal with it in person.

"The minister is not handling it effectively, please punish Your Majesty!"

Li Heng actually didn't intend to punish Cui Guangyuan seriously, he just wanted to use this incident to warn him not to ignore the precautions against civil unrest, but this kind of thing could not be announced, so he grabbed the old story of the people trampling on each other out of control and made a fuss. But when he saw that Cui Guangyuan's attitude of admitting his mistake was sincere, most of his anger disappeared, and he said:

"Since there is a mistake, it cannot be investigated, and it will be fined for half a year!"

Cui Guangyuan almost didn't drop his jaw in shock, he saw Li Heng's atmosphere uneasy before, and said in his heart that this time he was afraid that his official position would not be guaranteed, who would have thought that it would be such a painless result.

"The minister is punished, thank Your Majesty for your kindness!"

After all, it was an exciting event for Da Xixun and Yang Chaozong to be sent to Chang'an, and Li Heng's face still had an irrepressible look of joy.

"I heard that Da Xixun has suffered a lot of crimes?"

Cui Guangyuan replied:

"What is the point of such a second minister even if he dies and does not forgive his sins, and suffers a little humiliation? Da Xixun is my Tang Henan Yin, who does not think about the kindness of the imperial court, but becomes the prime minister of Pseudo-Yan, and the minister thinks that he must be severely punished to warn the world!"

Li Heng sighed.

"When I was still the crown prince, all the officials were alienated from me, and Duda Xi Xun was not afraid of rumors and hypocrisy, and he didn't expect to end up today. ”

Cui Guangyuan was silent, and he suddenly felt that Li Heng seemed to be hinting at himself and interceding for Da Xixun. However, a traitor like Da Xixun, who has become a pseudo-prime minister of Yan, can be regarded as the first evil, so how can he be spared? If even Da Xixun's first evil is spared, there will be no scruples about any rebellion in the future, and he will not be pardoned by the Son of Heaven in the end anyway. This wind must not be fueled.

While thinking about it, I suddenly heard the eunuch tiptoe into the palace.

"Your Majesty, Da Xixun is waiting outside the palace!"

Cui Guangyuan looked at Li Heng in surprise, but saw Li Heng smile and said:

"He was brought by the Men of Our Order. ”

"Your Majesty's move may be inappropriate!"

In the face of Cui Guangyuan's exhortation, Li Heng waved his hand and said:

"Even if Da Xixun becomes a traitor, can't I summon him to ask why he is a thief?"

After Da Xixun went to the hall, he only stepped on the threshold, and then knelt on the ground, kneeling forward, whimpering and howling in his throat.

"Your Majesty, it's hard to imagine that you can see Your Majesty in your lifetime!"

Officer Cui squinted and looked at the past, where is this still a high-ranking and powerful Da Xixun, who is not angry and arrogant, there is only a thin old man in front of him, who is trembling and pitiful.

"Da Xiqing, are you okay?"

No one expected that Li Heng would say such a sentence as soon as he opened his mouth. Da Xixun was stunned at first, and then cried even more, and it was difficult to say half a sentence for a long time.

Even Cui Guangyuan couldn't help but sigh secretly, he had long heard that when today's son is extremely nostalgic, he can treat Da Xixun, who is a traitor to the country, so he can treat him so kindly, which can be seen!

As far as the truth is concerned, when Da Xixun was an official in the court, he was not a traitorous person, and his official reputation was also very bad, and later the Son of Heaven sympathized with him and asked him to go to Luoyang to be Henan Yin, which was a preferential treatment for the old minister. But who would have thought that this kind of good old man would not be able to be tough when he needed him, and in the end, his reputation would be ruined, and he would be written in history for future generations to scold for thousands of years. Why is this so difficult? Is it so difficult to choose when you die?

However, Li Heng treated him kindly, but he still told Da Xixun bluntly.

"Although I have an old relationship with Da Xiqing, I can't ignore the law of the country, and your punishment will be handed over to the political affairs hall, don't blame me!"

"The old minister betrayed the king and treason, and he should have died a long time ago to apologize, but the old minister ......"

Da Xixun burst into tears, and finally scolded himself tremblingly:

"The old minister hates, hates himself for not having the courage to die. Your Majesty......"

Da Xixun raised his head pitifully, and looked at Li Heng with longing eyes through the muddy tears.

"Is it too late for the old minister to cut himself at this time?"

How did Li Heng answer this? Cui Guangyuan wanted to say that as long as he is willing to apologize for his crimes, it is not too late, at least he will add a sum of money in the history of the Qing Dynasty, and it is better to punish himself for his crimes in shame than to be a prisoner and be punished by a canonical sentence.

However, he also saw that Da Xixun didn't want to die at all, but wagged his tail and begged for mercy, hoping that the Son of Heaven could forgive him for his capital crimes and give him a way to live.

Li Heng didn't give a definite answer in the end, Da Xixun was taken down, and he looked at him pitifully when he left. Cui Guangyuan also felt compassion, but he also knew that everyone should bear the cost and responsibility for the choices they made. Since he has become a traitor, he can't afford to live in real life, and he really has no shame!

On the evening of the same day, Qin Jin suddenly received an urgent summons from the Son of Heaven, and after entering the palace, he found that Cui Jian and several other important ministers had also arrived. Looking at Li Heng's relaxed expression that had already disappeared from the morning, it was replaced by a worry that could not be concealed.

"Guangling Military reported that Yan Jingzhi, the Taishou of Danyang, was beheaded by King Yong, and most of Jiangnan West Road was already lost...... Tell me, how should I deal with it?"

At this time, the ministers of the palace were also anxious, and they could not come up with a proper solution. Qin Jin was relatively calm and asked:

"Is there a good military report?"

Li Heng shook his head.

"There is still no news from Gao Shi, this is Huainan's interview with Li Cheng's request for help!"

Qin Jin Dao:

"Since there is no news from Gao Shi yet, why should Your Majesty be worried? If the Jiangnan region can deal with the Yongwang rebels on its own, why should it send another Jiedu envoy to take up the post?"

knew that Qin Jin's words made sense, but Li Heng still didn't dare to take this risk, for fear that if he made a mistake in his decision, he would lose everything.

After all, what King Yong threatens is not only the battle situation in Luoyang, but also the legitimacy of his position as the Son of Heaven. And the reason why King Yong was able to quickly gather a group of cadres around him was because his identity had great appeal. Once the imperial court loses in the crusade against King Yong, I am afraid that more local officials and generals will fall to King Yong, and then Li Heng's situation will be a little embarrassing.

"Your Majesty, for the sake of safety, the slave maid thinks that it is better to send a capable minister to Jiangnan again, if the high festival is successful, it is naturally good, if it fails, it can also be made up, so that it will not delay the overall situation, right?"

Li Heng nodded, feeling that Li Fuguo's idea was very reasonable!
