Chapter 1038: Leaving a Name in History?
After a good night's sleep, it wasn't until near noon that Ya'er slowly woke up from her sweet dream. It was the most restful sleep she'd had in months, and Ya'er hadn't slept well since she vaguely knew what her husband was doing and offended the Manchu officials.
It wasn't until Sun Tu came back last night, the whole family was reunited, and he was able to snuggle into the familiar arms and sniff the familiar smell to sleep, that Ya'er really relaxed and fell asleep, and then this sleep came to noon.
It's just that when she woke up, she found that the person next to her who could completely reassure people had long since disappeared, only a bowl of rice porridge that had already been cold was placed on the table in front of the bed, and there was a note underneath. Ya'er got up and went over, picked up the bowl, and saw a message full of tenderness: "When you wake up, you can drink and eat well, and I will come back to eat with you in the evening." It was Sun Tu's handwriting that made her face smile smile again, and at this moment she only felt that everything before was worth it.
At the same time, Sun Tu, who was the most gentle to his family and had the appearance of a loving father and a good husband, had changed his gentle appearance when he was at home, and stood in front of those kneeling guys with a murderous aura, his eyes quickly swept over them, as sharp as a sword, so that these people didn't dare to breathe heavily.
After looking at them directly, Sun Tucai sneered: "Wow, you are really loyal and backbone enough, but at this time, you still want to fight with me, do you really feel that Ben Hou does not dare to kill people and establish power?" ”
Kneeling in front of him were Cai Jing and Liang Shicheng's subordinates, who just wanted to take the opportunity to save people and disturb the entire situation in Tokyo, as well as a group of people from the Li family firm headed by Li Wei.
Just like Tong Mu said, when Cheng Yayu pretended to lead people to set fire to it, these people really thought that the opportunity had come, and immediately followed up, and also started to burn and kill in their respective forces. In addition, there is a team composed of many masters who directly take the prison of the Criminal Department, wanting to rescue Cai Jing and others who were imprisoned there.
But as a result, they threw themselves into the net, and as soon as they launched, they were surrounded by the soldiers of the thief army who had been ambushed around them on all sides, and they didn't even light a few fires, they were swallowed up and killed by more than ten times the elite soldiers, and all the main characters were captured alive and taken in front of Sun Tu at this moment.
At this time, these people all drooped their heads like defeated roosters, and did not make a sound. Sun Tu sneered again: "Since you have to seek death, Benhou will fulfill you." And this time it is not only you, but also your relatives and friends who are related to you will be implicated! I didn't want to kill them like this, but you killed them yourself! ”
"Sun Tu, don't be coy, do you think we will believe your words? You are a rebel and thief, even if you don't dare to wait for us for the time being, you will not let us go after you really seize power. Since sooner or later we are all going to die, it is only natural for us to fight back now! A man suddenly looked up at Sun Tu and shouted.
Then, Li Wei, who was old and frail, also coughed twice and said, "Yes, don't you say that the old man can see through your character?" Only from your ruthless methods against the Gu family firm at the beginning, I knew that if you let you take power, we would have no peace, so this time we are just saving ourselves, since it can't be done, then we can only sigh and die, God is unfair. Now that it has fallen into your hands, you will become a king or a loser, and if you want to kill it, you must listen to it!
"But Sun Tu, don't be too happy, the world has its own public opinion, even if you, a chaotic minister and thief, can get lucky to win a moment, it will be difficult to last long. I believe that it will not be long before you are defeated and beheaded. At that time, you will be able to know who is loyal and who is traitorous in history! ”
This self-righteous remark immediately annoyed Tang Feng on the side, and immediately took a step to repair this old thing that was talking wildly. But he was stopped by Sun Tu with a wave of his hand: "At this time, they will be able to take advantage of their tongues, so why should they be angry because of the words of a few dying people?" We didn't lose face. ”
After Tang Feng retreated, he looked at these people with a smile again: "I don't know whether to say that you are thick-skinned enough, or if you are really a bastard to the point of believing that you are the axiom." Ben Hou never said that he wanted to rebel, I came from the side of the Qing monarch, for the stability of my Great Song Dynasty Jiangshan Sheji, and for the Son of Heaven not to be deceived by Cai Jing and other traitors. So I took down only those corrupt officials and traitors, not all the officials in the DPRK and China. As for the people in the city, they are even more innocent, so Benhou also issued a strict order not to disturb the people.
"But even so, you are still stubborn, so don't blame Ben Hou for killing you completely. But don't be too happy, saying that you are dying generously, I will not give you such a chance. Starting today, the people in the city will know that I am here to ask for the thief army, and I will announce it to the world, so that they can redress their grievances and sue the government. If any of you don't have a lot of blood debts, this time I will kill you and your families in the most righteous and bright way.
"One by one, you still think that you can leave a name of loyalty in history, it's just wishful thinking! What you remain in the hearts of the people, above the history books, is only greed and tyranny, and there is more than enough infamy for death! ”
A heart-wrenching remark knocked out the last bit of their momentum. Suddenly, all of these people collapsed to the ground like deflated balls, and their eyes were full of despair. Even when they were caught all by someone before, they were not desperate to look like this, but now, after knowing that Sun Tu in front of them is by no means a reckless and easy-to-kill reckless man, they are truly the absolute possibility of turning the tables.
After watching these people being dragged out like dead pigs, Tang Feng and other generals were suddenly relieved, and couldn't help but admire: "The general is wise, he has pinched all these diehard guys in a few words, and he admires his duties!" ”
"You don't have to pat me on the back, in fact, even if there is no such chaos, I have already made up my mind to announce the whole city and let the people complain. Because we must find the most logical reason to get rid of all these high-ranking officials and ministers of the imperial court. It's just that in this way, you will have to be busy, so hurry up and send someone to do it, as for the place to receive the people's grievances, it will be set up in Kaifeng Mansion and the Criminal Department! ”
After Sun Tu's order was issued, the soldiers under his command were really busy. The city of Tokyo is very large and has a large population, and it is not easy to spread the news to the whole city in a short period of time, even if it has a large number of troops.
So in the next half a day, the thief army dispatched thousands of people to cross the streets and alleys of Tokyo, beating gongs and drums to attract the attention of the people, and at the same time announcing Sun Tu's decision to call on the people of the city to appeal their grievances. Fortunately, more than eighty percent of the people in the city are hiding at home and dare not go out, so there is not much delay along the way.
And when the news began to spread all over the city, some people who themselves harbored great grievances began to sit still. Among them, either some relatives and friends died at the hands of those officials, or they themselves were oppressed and framed by them and could not even live their lives, and when they saw the opportunity, they all mustered up their courage, walked out of their homes, and ran to the nearest two yamen who were sued to complain about their grievances.
People often have a herd mentality, even if everyone is hiding in their homes, there are still countless people peeking from behind their own courtyard gates, waiting for further news. When they saw that their neighbors were really hopeful and came back happily, these people with smaller grievances naturally couldn't sit still.
So in the evening, more people with grievances rushed to the two yamen to tell their grievances, and when it got dark, the queue outside the yamen became longer and longer. In fact, after accepting many grievances in a row, the people have more and more trust in General Sun, so more people come to shout grievances, and it can be said that almost every official above the fifth grade is burdened with more than three lawsuits......
Of course, there may be the possibility of exaggeration by the people, and some people want to fish in troubled waters to take revenge on their enemies, but more often than not, it is a real case of officials relying on their identities to oppress the people. Even though hundreds of literate scribes were mobilized to accept grievances this time, they were still so busy that it was not until after the third watch that they persuaded everyone to wait until dawn the next day.
And Sun Tu also took a large number of grievance records related to Cai Jing and other powerful ministers back when he went home. After eating and reading it, Rao is Sun Tu was more prepared, but he was still annoyed, and finally slapped all these case files on the bookcase: "Snatch people's money and property, forcibly occupy people's wives and daughters, and frame and kill people...... These officials look sanctimonious on the surface, but in fact, none of what they do behind their backs is human, and it is really hard to write!
"But these people are regarded by Zhao Ji as cronies, and they hand over the entire world of the huge court to them to govern, and then let them take the opportunity to harm more innocents and embezzle more benefits. This is our Great Song Dynasty, the so-called prosperous and prosperous era! The monarch is greedy and greedy, the people suffer, and when the country is not a country, foreign enemies invade, and more people will suffer from annihilation! Such a Great Song Dynasty, don't do it! ”
If Sun Tu did all this before and only targeted Cai Jing and the others, and wanted to solve them with a more reasonable reason, then now Sun Tu really plans to eradicate the guy who has become a puppet. This guy who is also selfish and greedy to the extreme is not worthy of continuing to be the lord of this world, even if it is only in name, he is not worthy!
In an instant, Sun Tu's eyes were already shining, and a bolder plan had already been born from his heart: "Strike while the iron is hot, after convicting Cai Jing and the others, it's time to move the person on the throne!" ”
But before that, he has to unite the hearts of the people and the army, and it's time to give an explanation to those innocent people.
