The Liang army strictly forbade indiscriminate killing, but that did not mean that it would not kill.

On both sides of the post road in front of the South City Tower in Chuzhou, dozens of cedar stumps are lined up, and two to three corpses are hung in each for public display. In order to prevent the corpses from decomposing quickly under the scorching sun, these corpses that were killed on the battlefield or hanged after the war were specially dehydrated with quicklime so that they could withstand the fifteen-day public display period, but they looked particularly hideous when hung out.

At this time, four carriages slowly drove out from the south gate of Chuzhou, and although the weather was hot, the carriages were tightly covered.

More than a dozen generals on duty at the city gate came over vigilantly, the carriage at the head opened the front curtain, and a woman in a water green shirt walked down, took out a special pass and showed it to the military attache at the head.

Seeing that the special pass was printed by the secretary of the General Staff Office, and there was also the signature of Han Donghu, which also meant that no matter who was in these carriages, they had no right to interrogate, and the military attache headed by him immediately ordered the refusal outside the city gate to be opened.

The woman in green did not board the carriage again, but accompanied the carriage to walk more than a hundred steps outside the city gate, and then said to the head of the carriage through the curtain of the carriage: "Xiangyun is here, the princess will be incognito in the future, and no one will track your whereabouts, but the princess will no longer be a golden body in the future, I am afraid that she will have to endure some hardships - if there is really any difficulty, write a letter to Xiangyun." ”

The curtain of the car was lifted, revealing a haggard, frightened face, showing that she had experienced a difficult inner torment in the past few days; Even so, it is still impossible to hide her glamorous and glamorous appearance, as if the slight traces left by the years have not detracted from her beauty in the slightest, and she has an indescribable style - she looks sadly at the dozens of corpses hanging on both sides of the post road, the first corpse still looks so burly at this time.

"Han Qian's father also served in Chuzhou, could it be that he didn't care about the old feelings at all, and was so stingy that he didn't even give him a coffin, but after he died, he still humiliated his corpse like this?" The middle-aged woman asked sadly.

"Only by believing in the king and the prince can they be spared the death penalty, and if they resist stubbornly, they will be hanged and the corpse will be displayed to the public for fifteen days to set an example, which is the edict prepared by the king himself. Even if Xiangyun holds the queen's decree, she can only take care of the princess and Hachiro's thoughtfulness - when the public display period has passed, Xiangyun will arrange for someone to bury King Shin and them, and when the situation is stable, the princess can come back to pay respects, but don't worry about it anymore. The woman in green said.

The beautiful woman sighed, retracted into the carriage, and walked south.

The woman in green walked back to the city.

The battle did not last long, and after the northern city was breached, the defenders in the city basically gave up stubborn resistance and imprisoned tens of thousands of prisoners in the prisoner of war camp outside the city for reorganization.

Now, in addition to the patrols that can be seen everywhere, there is not much panic in Chuzhou City at this time, and even the streets and alleys have resumed the supply of basic living materials such as rice, noodles, vegetables, firewood, and charcoal in the early morning today.

Han Donghu also ordered the patrol to strictly prohibit private residences, and the search and arrest of fugitive war criminals were handed over to the urgently established Chuzhou Criminal Prison Department.

The woman in green walked into the palace of King Xin, who was serving as the commander of the second central camp army for Han Donghu at this time, and saw Han Donghu sitting in front of the desk reading a yellow-signed official letter, and asked: "What new will has come from the king, when will you attack Yangzhou?" ”

"Your Excellency wants the Second Central Camp Army to do a good job in the resettlement of Chuzhou and other places, and he has not asked us to go south for the time being," Han Donghu grabbed the hand of the woman in green and asked, "You sent Gu Mei'er away?" ”

"Sent away. Hurry up and send it away, or if you send it to Donghu or Luoyang, you may fall into someone's eyes," the woman in green said, "You said, the lord has lived in Liyang with Mrs. Xu all these years and has not made any noise, why did he suddenly come up with such a bad idea?" Could it be that Miss is too idle in Luoyang, and she must find a ruthless role for Miss as an opponent? A woman from the Shenling Division, which is an easy character to deal with? ”

"Otherwise, could it be that Emperor Gaozu carried out a bloody purge of the clan and the Qingliu clan of the previous dynasty, and even spared the old and weak women, children, and the weak?" Han Donghu shook his head and said, "Your Excellency is unwilling to use these bloody and brutal methods, and some methods are also a last resort......

The city of Chuzhou fell, the news was transmitted back to Jinling, and the city of Jinling, which had been noisy for several days, was suddenly silent.

At this time, in addition to Han Donghu leading the main force of the Second Central Camp Army to fully enter the Chuzhou border for rectification and pursue the remnants of the Xinwang Mansion, Zhao Wuji had already led Cao Ba and Chen Qi to cross the Yangtze River and gather at the foot of Cuiluo Mountain, which was seventy miles away from Jinling City in the east, ready to go.

To everyone's surprise, as soon as the court meeting opened on the 26th, Zhou Qinian and Huang Huixiang took the lead in walking to the hall, and the above table praised: "What Yang Hou said on the 17th is shocking, but when you think about the Liang Lord Han Qian's affairs, he was loyal and made great contributions to the society, and he was a meritorious minister of the Great Chu; When the river was in danger, Han Qian, the lord of Liang, was ordered to succeed the lord of the Great Liang and ride the captives, so that the mountains and rivers of the Central Plains would not be broken, which was even more due to the creation. Thirty years ago, Liang Chu was originally a family, but it was shattered by the war, which was not what the world wanted. If the Lord of Liang and the Queen Mother can marry, so that Liang and Chu can be reunited, the story of the ages will ......"

On the 26th, the court meeting was mainly attended by civil and military officials above the rank of squire of all ministries.

They all expected that someone would soon succumb to Liang Jun's obscenity after Yang En, and they just hoped that they would not be in a hurry to make a statement; They also thought about who would be the second person to be brazen after Yang En, but the performance of the Huang family at this moment still caught most people off guard.

The Huang family has always been the most determined main battle faction, in addition to Huang Huixiang and Zhou Qinian in Beijing as the head of the household department, Jing Zhaoyin, and the palace Empress Dowager Mingcheng echoed from afar, Huang Hua has been in charge of the military and political power of Hunan Xingshangshu Province for more than ten years, and his son Huang Xi served as the commander of the Zuo Wuxiang army, and was one of the generals of the forbidden army.

The Huang family is the representative and leader of the Jiangdong family.

In the past few days, more than one-third of the students of Guozi Eunuch who wanted to pull Yang En out and beat him to death were from Jiangdong families.

The clan lords of the Jiangdong family may not be the strongest in the army, but regardless of Gu Zhilong's lineage, no matter how Shen Yang and Yang En thought about how to suppress the rise of the clan lords of the Jiangdong family in the middle of the court, there are still half of the officials in the court who are directly or indirectly involved with Jiangdong.

The Hunan faction headed by Zhang Chao and Zhang Han brothers, the Jingxiang faction headed by the Huang family, and the Jiangxi faction headed by Yang Zhitang, the king of Shou, are far less powerful than Jiangdong, which is deeply rooted in all aspects, either because of the lack of literary style and the lack of popularity, or because of the devastation of war, or because it has been occupied by the Ma family for a long time.

In the eyes of many people, even if they have to descend in the end, Huang must and should persist until the last moment.

After Liyang Hou Yang En, the Huang family was the first to persuade him to marry?

Or did Huang Huixiang and Zhou Qinian act without the approval or instruction of Huang Hua, who was far away in Yueyang?

However, after Huang Huixiang and Zhou Qinian, Huang Wei, who handed over the Shuai seal to Zhang Feng, the deputy commander of the capital, and returned to Jinling from Chizhou yesterday to discuss the defense, stood up on behalf of his father Huang Hua on behalf of his father, and forced Emperor Gaozu Tianyou to persecute Zhongliang, the first emperor Yanyou Emperor was jealous of the emperor, and connived at Shang Wensheng's son and the Jingnan family to persecute the military officials of Guangde Mansion, etc., which made countless officials and gentlemen dumbfounded.

"Your Huang family is really shameless when you receive the emperor's grace!" There are still bloody officials in the court, and they can't bear it anymore at this moment, pointing at Huang Xi and scolding, "There have been thousands of years of changing the dynasty, and there are ministers who have changed their masters, but such shameless people like Er are unheard of!" ”

Two of the palace attendants who were originally in charge of the order of the court also joined in the scolding, which made the court suddenly chaotic - Qingyang could only announce his retirement from the court with a pale young emperor with a pale face.

"The Huang family is too eager, right?" Today's court discussion caught Gu Zhilong, who still wanted to wait and see the situation, was a little caught off guard, retreated back to the mansion, pulled Fu Gengwen to sit down, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

"The Huang family is not too eager, if they don't express their position, I'm afraid the end won't be much better than King Xin,"

Fu Gengwen said slowly,

"Yesterday, another deceased came to Geng Wen, saying that Han Qian, the lord of Liang, had issued an edict to update the list of war criminals. This new list of war criminals will be liquidated from the 12th year of Tianyou, and all those who are suspected of rebellion, even those who do not move, and who are suspected of separating localities and raising self-esteem, will be liquidated. Once they are included in the new first-class list of war criminals, even if they surrender, they will not be pardoned, and although their sons and nephews will not be directly punished, they will also be investigated by the prison department of the Supervision Office and the corresponding local prison department to determine whether their clan has committed evil crimes in the past few decades. As long as it is found that a bad deed has been committed, it will be completely liquidated and no longer granted a period of relief. When Jinling rebelled, Huang Hua had a suspicious mind to wait and see the situation in Jinling according to Huzhou, and also tried to resist the eastward advance of the Chishan army, and the Huang family was plotting with Shouwangfu and Xinwangfu to fight against Fanchuanhe, they did not express their position at this time, and when Jinling City fell, Huanghua, Huang Xi, Huang Huixiang, Zhou Qinian, etc., which one could survive? Of course, if Jinling can be defended, the so-called war criminal list of the Liang army, regardless of a piece of waste paper, Gu Hou will completely ignore it. ”

Gu Zhilong was stunned for a long time before he sat up straight and asked, "How to write this marriage persuasion form, please Geng Wen teach me ......"
