Chapter 901: The People Have Blood

The news of the death of the Emperor Taishang soon spread in Chang'an City, and the notices posted in Jingzhao Mansion spread all over the streets and alleys, and the frightened people were even worse. Li Longji, the outdated emperor, had already lost his influence on the Tang Dynasty, and his name had faded out of the eyes of the people of Chang'an a few years earlier. However, when he suddenly heard the news of the death of the Emperor Taishang, it caused a lot of waves in the market. The smashing of troublemakers came one after another, and even some even attacked the government yamen in groups.

The officials who preached the proclamation did not dare to be self-conscious in the face of the turmoil of the crowd, and had to report to Yu Chaoen, the eunuch who was in charge of Jingzhao Mansion.

Yu Chaoen has always been a superstitious person of force, and after receiving the retribution, he immediately ordered the Shen Ce army to drive into the main street in Chang'an City. At this time, the Tubo army was constrained by military orders, and the Tubo soldiers and horses could only guard the gates of Chang'an, and all the squares in the market were under the management of the Shence army.

In fact, what should have been robbed has been almost robbed, and what Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie's military order did was only to ease the obstacles for Li Chenghong to ascend to the crown prince.

However, Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie's mind is not so much to care about, since the people have chosen to be violent, the Divine Ce Army will never tolerate it.

When the Shence army drove into the streets of Chang'an, hundreds of troublemakers were locked up and taken into custody and went to the Jingzhaofu Prison together. In addition, Yu Chaoen did not give up this opportunity to implicate his former political enemies.

Among them, the cronies of the three Zhang sisters and brothers were the first to be unlucky, and a hat of instigating rebellion was pressed down, and dozens of ministers were immediately thrown into the Jingzhao Mansion prison, and the doom they faced was only the beginning, because from the beginning, Yu Chaoen's purpose was to destroy these people's families and never turn over.

Immediately afterwards, the ministers of the Shenwu Army and the cronies of Li Fuguo's family were ruthlessly purged by Yu Chaoen.

Although the prime minister Cui Lian, who had been killed in the political dispute before, had long been in prison, he was also affected, and the cronies and eunuchs sent by Yu Chaoen to try the case were the first to interrogate him, and he also used a heavy sentence to beat this important minister from a famous family to death.

Such a heavy sentence was imposed on Cui Lian, the purpose was naturally to make him admit that he was the mastermind who plotted the rebellion, but fortunately, although Cui Lian was old, his bones were very hard, and he survived hard regardless of the skin on his body.

Soon, the first batch of ministers sentenced to beheading were escorted to the East City, and the execution was carried out before sunset, and more than a dozen big heads fell to the ground at the same time, and blood was splattered on the spot. All of a sudden, there was an undercurrent surging in Chang'an City, and many people had begun to rumor in private that the Chang'an Rebellion was about to begin, and the end was probably not long enough.

After dark, there is a curfew, and this night seems to be peaceful, but secretly I don't know how many people are planning in the dark, looking forward to it......

Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie sighed, he slept very badly this night, although he was in Xingqing Palace, and he lived in the dormitory of the former Tang Emperor, but there was always a kind of uneasiness that lingered like a shadow. The general of the Eastern Dynasty is still aware of the heavy and hurried footsteps from far and near.

Before anyone arrived first, just by the sound of footsteps, Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie already knew that the person who came outside the temple gate was Shang Xijie.

When the footsteps entered the hall, still behind the screen, Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie coughed.

"The general is impatient, is there something tricky?"

After Shang Xijie came in, he found a place to sit down and said:

"The prime minister's guess is right, Yu Chaoen's eunuch actually took the opportunity of the people to take advantage of the chaos and commotion to purge the Tang Dynasty officials, just last night, just last night, killed more than ten people in a row, doesn't the prime minister care?"

For a long time, Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie didn't speak, just squinted his eyes, and Shang Xi was really anxious to wait, so he leaned over and asked:

"Is the prime minister just going to let it go?"

Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie opened his eyes and did not answer the rhetorical question:

"Let me ask you, Yu Chaoen killed the officials of the Tang Dynasty indiscriminately, what did I do with Tibet?"

"What?"

Shang Xijie was stunned, he really couldn't imagine that the key place that the prime minister first thought of was actually here.

"Isn't he taking advantage of the power of the prime minister to do his own private affairs? Let him succeed, and it will only get worse in the future!"

Who knows, Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie laughed out loud after hearing Shang Xijie's worries.

"Why is the Great Prime Minister laughing? Could it be that the Great Prime Minister is also confused by the eunuch?"

Finally, Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie slapped his hands heavily on the imperial case, and his voice was full of joy that could not be controlled.

"Shang Xijie, you foolish head, when will you become as clear as the river, what Yu Chaoen did is exactly what I want to do but can't do!"

Shang Xijie was completely stunned, and stammered and asked:

"Want to do it, can't do it?"

Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie nodded heavily.

"Exactly! I want to make Li Chenghong the crown prince, the old ministers of the Tang Dynasty have countless people to oppose, now it's okay, those who have the ability and qualifications to oppose are either killed by Yu Chaoen, or they are frightened, who dares to stand up and oppose again, they have to weigh whether their necks are hard enough, whether they can resist the sharp execution axe!"

With such an explanation, Shang Xijie also understood Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie's thoughts, and the original worried look on his face also faded.

I only heard Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie say again:

"After Yu Chaoen cleanses the Tang Dynasty, I will appear as a fair arbitrator to punish this eunuch who has destroyed hundreds of families for his own selfish desires, and the hearts of the people of Chang'an will further move closer to my Great Tubo!"

"Great plan, good plan, good plan......"

Shang Xijie had already admired Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie's five-body throw, and now seeing that he had solved the big trouble of the Tang Dynasty with just a flick of his fingers, he was even more worshipful, feeling that the great minister was the god of the world, otherwise how could there be such an unpredictable plan?

If the situation had developed according to Ma Xiang Chung Bajie's expectations, everything would have become unstoppable, and in the afternoon of this day, another news that shook the whole city spread through the streets.

"Alas, have you heard? The Emperor Taishang was not burned to death by accident, but unwilling to be humiliated, and collapsed in order to preserve his dignity*!"

"Is that so?"

"It's true, the eunuch who slipped out of the Taiji Palace quietly is the Zhang family who was convicted in our fang in the past, and many young children in his clan were sent to the palace back then...... On an errand, it was one of them who sent out the news, the Emperor Taishang set fire to the Ning Yin Palace, and even the Tubo people couldn't ...... the fire."

Such rumors are true or false, just like cold water dripping in boiling oil, and a thousand waves were stirred up in an instant. The people who had already succumbed to Yu Chaoen's violence were finally completely angry, the Emperor Taishang was *, and then Yu Chaoen purged the courtiers, and people had to think of the Tubo people who invaded Chang'an, they must be the masterminds behind the death of the Emperor Taishang.

"On the contrary, it's against his mother, cutting off the head is just a scar the size of a bowl, who dares to kill the thief with me and avenge the emperor, even if it is ...... Big deal?"

As soon as he asked, he immediately ushered in a thousand echoes.

Both Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie and Yu Chaoen ignored one of the most critical issues, that is, more than seventy percent of the strong children in Chang'an City had entered the private sector, and at least one percent of them had participated in the battle against Sun Xiaozhe.

People who have private experience often have a strong sense of belonging to the Shenwu Army and the imperial court, and the news that Li Longji died of humiliation* is of course more in line with what the people think. The emperor of the Tang Dynasty will never surrender, and he will not be a lackey for Fanhu.

The Shence Army, which maintained order in the market, despised these people who gathered to make trouble, and some of them were bold enough to snatch the weapons of the Shence Army sergeants with their bare hands, and once they succeeded, they immediately swung their knives and slashed them, splashing blood on the spot.

"Kill Yu Chaoen and drive away Fan Hu ......"

As soon as someone took the lead, the people who gathered together were like a flood that opened the floodgates, surging downward, but all those who stood in their way were crushed into powder. The Shence army actually looked like it was gradually declining, and the wolves turned into sheep, while the sheep that had been repeatedly suppressed before turned into a pack of hungry wolves on a rampage, and no one could stop them.

At this point, Yu Chaoen also panicked.

"How far are they from Jingzhao Mansion?"

"It's just two streets away, and you'll be there soon, and you'll be there!"

"Stop them, no matter what the price, give the order to go down, and whoever kills one person will be rewarded with 100 gold!"

As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward, but Yu Chaoen's serious injury seems to be of little use, and almost everyone in the face of the Shenwu Army sergeant has unknown fear and worry.

The people of Chang'an rebelled again, and when Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie learned the news, he could hardly believe his ears, the heavily armed Shence army could not defeat the unarmed people. As a result, he also had to re-examine Yu Chaoen's strength again, and make a new judgment on this person and his Divine Ce Army.

Shang Xijie did the same, and even slapped his thigh twice with some schadenfreude.

"I have long said that this person is useless, and the prime minister still doesn't believe it, but now, he can't even fiddle with the rebellion of the people, and he wants my warriors from Tibet to go out in person!"

Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie, who was frowning, was also annoyed by his mistake, he didn't expect Yu Chaoen to be so unbearable, and he actually abandoned the previous work of mixing up a good plan.

"Take a battalion of men and horses now, disperse the rebellious people, and if there are those who resist, you will be killed!"

This is equivalent to loosening the splint that is always on Shang Xijie's neck, allowing him to kill people at will, and with Shang Xijie's temperament, Chang'an City may not be able to escape the end of a river of blood.

Soon after Shang Xijie left, a spy came to report, and the news brought by Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie was taken aback.

"What? The news of the Emperor Taishang of the Tang Dynasty has spread all over the Chang'an City?"

This is very different from the notice issued by Jingzhao Mansion just now, it is clear that there are ghosts in it, and it is absolutely impossible for Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie to hide behind Yu Chaoen and sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman.
