Chapter Thirty-Nine: Hearing the Truth of Chang'an Like a Game of Chess (9)
This battle came to an end quickly, although Yuan Lie planned early, but Yu Wentai knew his plan from the beginning, and then planned it, plus Yu Wentai's strength was even more powerful than others, Yuan Lie had no way to compete with it, and he was soon defeated.
About a stick of incense time, the battle was about to come to an end, and only Yuan Lie was left alone in the audience to draw his knife to resist, only to see him pick up the knife and point at Yuwentai, laughing, "Yuwentai, from the time when the official began to kill you, a traitor, he was ready to die, but the hateful official failed to kill you today, and I returned a Lang Lang Qiankun to Dawei, hateful and hateful——"
After speaking, Yuan Lie quickly wiped the knife in his hand to his neck, and killed himself before others could react......
Yuwentai watched all this coldly, the thieves were killed one by one, and the entire palace was full of dead corpses, and blood was spilling and spreading to all sides. After Yuan Lie fell to the ground and died, his face never changed, and then he drank all the wine in Jiujue in one go, put Jiujue on the table, slowly stood up, stepped forward and bowed to the current son: "Your Majesty, Yuan Lie tried to rebel and was killed by Weichen, please Your Majesty order to detain Yuan Lie's family and his relatives and friends, and behead him at three o'clock at noon tomorrow according to the crime of treason, so as to set an example." ”
Yuan Bao Ju, who was under the protection of the eunuchs, saw Yuan Lie kill himself, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and was very sympathetic to him, but he quickly returned to normal, sorted out Long Gon, and solemnly decreed: "Quasi-play, Yuan Lie, as an important Shangshu, is not good for the country and the people, but seeks rebellion, Tege went to the title, expelled from the clan, and all his finances were confiscated as the treasury." Yuwentai's uncle and nephew have made meritorious contributions in rescuing in danger and successfully suppressed the rebellion, and now they have increased the number of prime minister Yuwentai food yi by 1,000 households, Zhongshan Gongyu Wenhu food yi by 500 households, and the rest of the meritorious people will be rewarded by the prime minister after the prime minister's report. ”
Hearing this, Yuwentai hurriedly thanked him: "Weichen obeyed the order, thank you for the reward." ”
All the gates in Chang'an City were closed, and there were Praetorian Guards everywhere, walking back and forth with weapons in hand, and many ministers of the court and China were suffering one after another, crying, begging for mercy, and cursing sounded throughout the south of the city, but it was completely useless, and both men, women, and children were arrested and imprisoned.
"Wronged, I'm not a fellow party, you arrested the wrong person......"
"Yuwentai, you dog thief, rebellious thief, what you do today, he will be punished one day......"
"Don't hurt my children, officials, I beg you, my family is loyal to the official, loyal to the country, and will definitely not participate in the rebellion, I hope you will be aware of everything——"
"Traitor, let go of my father, the king of the family is an official of today's office, how dare you arrest people indiscriminately?"
......
However, all this was to no avail, Yuwen Hu received Yu Wentai's order to purge all the courtiers loyal to the royal family, so that after he went on the expedition, the rear could be stabilized, and there would be no rebellion similar to Yuan Lie, although he was not afraid of these young people, but if the backyard caught fire, so it delayed the fighters on the front line, it would really be worth the loss.
In the Su Mansion in the south of Chang'an City, I saw that Su Sui, the minister of finance of the dynasty, was lying on the Hu bed, describing his withered face, his face was yellow, his cheeks were sickly red, and he coughed in a low voice from time to time, and his whole face was as pale as paper, and he no longer had the previous gentle and elegant appearance.
It turned out that Yuwentai received a report from the secret agent, and received Zhao Gui, Dugu Xin and Hou Mo Chen Chong and other three Zhuguo generals who had contact with the previous Yuan Lie, after killing Yuwentai, the three of them took action, replacing Yuwentai to control Tongguan 50,000 soldiers and horses, so frightened that Yuwentai immediately sent Yuwentai to rush to Tongguan to guard the town, and was hesitant to take this opportunity to get rid of the three, so he personally came to Su Mansion to visit Su Xuan's condition and consulted Su Xuan's opinion.
But when Yu Wentai looked at this important minister who was older than himself, his heart was very sad, and his face was full of worry, although the two were both superiors and subordinates, but they were even more close friends. I saw Su Sui covering his mouth with his hand, coughing a few times, his face was bloody, and he said intermittently: "Prime Minister, now that the Quartet is undecided, the major places are deeply rooted, and the hands and eyes are up to the sky, although Zhao Gui, Dugu Xin and Hou Mo Chen Chong have broken ties with this rebellion, but the time has not yet come, and they must not easily clash with the rest of the Zhu States, so as not to weaken the strength of the central court, but make the local area strong, and the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”
Yuwentai sighed, and said unwillingly: "Ling Xuan, of course you understand what you said, but these four people currently have a lot of cronies and generals, although since the introduction of the pillar system, these people are not directly in charge of the military power now, but how many of their cronies, this time the prime minister mobilized the power of the entire Great Wei Pass, and the expedition is imminent, in case they secretly make an obstruction, the order will be inconsistent, and the big thing will be missed, so that the land of the Great Wei Pass will be seized by Gao Huan, this time it is not easy to catch their handle, take this opportunity to catch it all, Wouldn't it be better? ”
After hearing this, Su Xuan's heart was anxious, and he coughed even louder, his face was even redder as if he was about to bleed, as if he was about to lose his breath, Yuwentai saw it, and quickly stroked Su Xuan's back gently with his hand, and called out in his mouth: "Imperial Doctor, go and call the Imperial Doctor over——"
But Su Sui grabbed his hand tightly, shook his head slowly and said: "Don't worry, the prime minister, Xia Guan has been sick for many years, don't care about Xia Guan's condition, political affairs are important." Listen to the words of the lower official, these three people are not hidden dangers, they can't become the climate, forgive their lives for the time being, and then slowly weaken their power after the war, and how to deal with it is not up to the prime minister to have the final say, secondly, although they are not the same as the prime minister, they also know the situation of the same spirit, one glory and one loss, so at this juncture, there will be no things that the prime minister is worried about, and it is okay not to give them the opportunity to take power after the expedition. ”
Yuwentai looked at Su Xuan's hard work to even speak now, how could he have the chic momentum of talking and laughing freely and pointing out the country, he felt extremely uncomfortable, and couldn't help nodding solemnly, "Don't say much, take care of your spirits, and follow all your appearance." ”
Su Xuan took a few breaths, his face recovered a little, and then continued: "Prime Minister, there are many powerful and powerful places in Guanguan, and the land is barren, if you want to continue to fight against the Kwantung regime, you must do two things: the first is to find an opportunity to attack Yizhou and its Jingxiang land in Nanliang to the south, although it is not as good as the grain center of the Kwantung region, but it can greatly supplement the grain and grass in the central part of the country, so that you can have the strength to confront the Kwantung region; The second is the most important point, although the imperial court introduced the government military system, so that the imperial court and the Guanhui Haoqiang family are integrated, but there are many Guanqi heroes, and the power is extremely powerful, they are the ones who really need to take precautions, if they are not handled properly, they will definitely backfire. The Prime Minister must weaken the power of his family in his lifetime, especially to withdraw his family servants and attendants, and then cut off his family economy, so as to strengthen the centralization of power, but he must not be in a hurry, otherwise he will definitely endanger himself, remember to remember! ”
When Yu Wentai heard this, his heart was even more like a knife, his face was already full of tears, and he couldn't cry: "Ling Xuan, the Ru family is also one of them, but the duke is selfless for the sake of the prime minister, how to make it, how to make it!" ”
