Chapter 128: Dare to die for the world
Cai Cong had no way back, the power of the family was constantly beating him like a stormy wave, and if he didn't have effective means to resist, he would be torn to pieces in the storm.
And the fragile family behind him will also cease to exist, the world is superstitious about the inheritance of bloodline, it is impossible for them to let this family exist, and then a Cai Cong will appear and launch fierce revenge on them.
The next day, Cai Cong stepped into the barracks, and he had not set foot here since he was dismissed. The drums sounded, everyone was shocked, and in less than a quarter of an hour, all the soldiers were fully equipped and stood in front of Cai Cong.
"I've seen Master Hou!"
The sound was like thunder, and it shook the earth. The military salute is not worshipped, only seen. Cai Cong looked at the pair of hot eyes below and nodded with satisfaction.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are still an army of tigers and wolves. Ben Hou came today to have an important task, he needs 100 people, and if he succeeds, he will be prosperous and rich, and if he fails, there will be no bones. Which of you would like to go to war with Ben Hou? ”
Cai Cong looked at the people below and said loudly, the people below immediately shouted, everyone wants to go, the knife meal is originally a struggle between life and death, of course you can't miss the opportunity.
"This marquis wants to make it clear first that this time I am not going to fight with anyone, nor is it to assassinate anyone. Instead, to be a medicine man, Ben Hou needs a hundred medicine men to defeat the sores. ”
There was silence in the audience, and the person who shouted the loudest just now closed his mouth and didn't dare to look at Cai Cong anymore. The same goes for everyone else, what is the sore? Is that a punishment from heaven? How can manpower defeat the sores?
"Does no one dare to go with this marquis?"
"Master Hou, are you saying that you will go too?" Someone raised his hand and asked in a whisper, if it weren't for the silence in the venue, his voice would not be heard.
"Naturally, I want to go, and I am accompanied by four doctors. But what Ben Hou wants to say is...... If you join, you can't quit, so don't come if you're afraid, Ben Hou is afraid that he will be scared to death by the sores. ”
"I'll go, Master Hou is not afraid, I am not afraid." The soldier's voice was still shaking, but it was unusually firm.
"Sores will kill people, aren't you afraid of death?"
"I'm afraid of death, but Hou Ye is good to the little one, the little one wants to protect the Hou Ye, I will be a medicine man, don't be the Hou Ye." The soldier said loudly, when he was training, he was so tired that he couldn't move, but Hou Ye was sweating profusely to relieve his muscles and energize, and he always remembered it.
"I'll go too, Master Hou has given me the dignity of being a human being, and I want to protect Master Hou." Someone shouted, others also shouted, how noble people Hou Ye dared to take risks, why didn't they dare to fight? In a short time, a hundred people were gathered.
"Master Hou, the lower officials are willing to fight with the Hou Ye, please let the lower officials go together." Xu Jingzong said loudly, he was transferred to the military camp to teach Zhongjun to be patriotic, this is not what he wants, so he has to fight.
"If we do, I'll let you come then! What is needed now is the strongest warrior, and a civil servant like you can't do it. Cai Cong shook his head with a smile, Xu Jingzong smashed his palm regretfully, and waited until it was done, then there would be no meat to eat, so he could only drink soup.
"Mont Bora!"
"Here!"
"Find a canyon with cliffs on three sides in the mountains, where our more than 100 people will stay, you lead the troops to guard. If we need something, we will tell you with a banner, and I will give you a code word, and if we succeed, we will naturally tell you that we are leaving the canyon. Anyone else leaving the canyon, shooting, burning? If you fail, you're going to burn the whole canyon too, you know? ”
"Bora knows, and he will live up to the trust of the Hou Ye." Meng Baolai said seriously, the stakes are very high, and he doesn't dare to be sloppy.
"You and I have known each other for a year, and there is something I want to ask you."
Cai Cong and Meng Baolai walked in a place where no one was around, Cai Cong looked at Baolai and said slowly.
"Master Hou, don't say that, if it weren't for you, Baolai would still be a junior lieutenant in Wuwei now, how could he have today? Despite your orders, Bora will not give up. ”
"If I die in the canyon this time, the people of the family will not let go of the Cai family. So if I fail, I want you to protect my mother as far away as possible. ”
"Master Hou will not die, even if there is an accident, Your Majesty will protect the Cai family." Meng Baolai hurriedly said, Cai Cong waved his hand, if he died, it would be impossible for Li Shimin to turn his face for a dead man and the family, and the fall of the Cai family was inevitable.
"Baolai swears to the sky, if the Hou Ye really has an accident, he will protect his wife from Chang'an, find a place to be incognito, if he violates his oath, the sky will thunder."
"Thank you."
Three days later, in the early dynasty, the civil and military officials were violent, and they wanted to force the palace again, and they vowed not to give up if they did not kill Cai Cong. Lu Xing, the old man of the Lu family, came in person, and at this moment he was playing chess with Li Yuan in Taiji Palace.
"Your Majesty, the minister impeached Chang'an Hou Cai Cong, the ten major crimes, one of which is to wantonly kill the Shandong scholars, and the other is to blackmail the Shandong gentry, and the Shandong official gentry dare not speak out. Third...... Ten of his family used his power to do business in the world, and now he is rich enough to rival the country, and he is afraid that he will not be subservient, so he asks His Majesty to kill him. ”
"The ministers attach that Your Majesty will kill the thief Chang'an!" Everyone is aggressive, they have piled up the affairs of their respective mansions for two days and have not dealt with them, and even Li Shimin has not been able to review them for the past two days, and the entire officialdom is panicked.
Seeing that Li Shimin didn't speak, the hundred officials knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "For the sake of the empire, please ask Your Majesty to kill Cai Cong and correct the dynasty." ”
"I ...... No, I didn't. ”
Li Shimin finally stood up, and his majestic body pressed against the hearts of others like a mountain.
The hundred officials changed color almost at the same time, how could the emperor's attitude be so tough.
"Is it important for Your Majesty to be Cai Cong, or is it important for the Tang Dynasty? The minister bowed his head and asked His Majesty to think twice! ”
An old minister cried hoarsely, and the old head kowtowed and bled out. I only hope that Li Shimin can change his mind and not let the country fall into turmoil.
"I just thought twice before I could promise you. Is one of the top 10 counts true? Li Shimin reprimanded sharply, and his sharp eyes forced him to look at the courtiers.
"Fly camp dogs, when you are traitors to the party for the dirty things in your hearts, do you know where Cai Cong is?" Li Shimin's voice became more and more high-pitched, like the thunder rolling in the nine heavens, and the ministers bowed their heads in fright and did not dare to speak.
"He risked his life, and he is using himself as a medicine man at the moment, hoping to eliminate the sores so that the people of the Tang Dynasty will no longer be harmed by the sores. Such a person who is dedicated to the world, you actually say that he is violent and murderous, greedy for money and has no virtue, and your conscience has been eaten by dogs? ”
The ministers were shocked, but they didn't expect Cai Cong to risk his life in order to get out, and he didn't know how to refute Li Shimin's words for a while.
"If he succeeds, you, including your children, will receive his favor for all generations, and if he fails, he will set himself on fire so that the sores do not spread. I would like to ask, which of you dares to die for the world like him? Fang Aiqing! ”
"The minister is here."
Fang Xuanling bowed and said. These bigwigs don't participate in it at all, the emperor and the family's fighting methods, they are the last regulator, and they can't mess around.
"Chang'an has important things to do, and you are responsible for this year's official examination. Some corpses must be eliminated to avoid calamity to the country and the people. Retreat! ”
After Li Shimin finished speaking, he waved his sleeves away, and the ministers fell to the ground, Cai Cong's move was too ruthless. Whether they succeed or not, they all lose the opportunity to defend Cai Cong.
This time they lost completely, and Li Shimin was furious, and he didn't know how many people would withdraw from the stage of history gloomily.
