Chapter 168: Your Majesty, I said that you can't reason with them
Chen Ying's sharp gaze slowly glanced at the ministers, with a playful smile on his face, and said, "Who is going to impeach General Ben just now?" ”
"Impeachment!"
Impeach your sister's impeachment! You don't see it, Chen Ying is standing in the Taiji Hall, holding a blood-drenched horizontal knife in his hand, staring at him. Is there a posture that you don't agree with and may be cut down at any time? Impeach him, isn't that the birthday boy eating arsenic, thinking that his life is too long?
What's more, General Zhandian didn't come out to stop him at all.
If Li Jiancheng showed a look of fear, it was possible that Chen Ying wanted to rebel, but Li Jiancheng's expression was as usual, obviously this was acquiesced by Li Jiancheng.
Chen Ying let out a loud shout: "Are you all dumb?" If you're not dead, squeak! ”
This loud shout was like a thunderbolt from the sky, which frightened the hundreds of officials present with a shock, and the bold ones almost didn't sit on the ground, and the less timid ones trembled and urinated.
The generals or military officials present saw this scene, and they were so happy in their hearts. They looked at the important ministers or outstanding sons of the gate lords who usually needed to be looked up to, and at this time, these people, their bodies trembled like chaff, and sweat was like grout. The generals looked at each other, and they all showed relief in their eyes.
These days, these grandchildren have jumped up and down, raising their eyebrows and raising their eyes at the generals, and pulling them left and right. As for the imperial historians and officials, they were even more excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. Either impeach them for their personal virtues, or impeach them for tyranny, or for being unkind, bloodthirsty and murderous.
Some military generals and officials have no way to defend themselves at all. For example, full of swear words and vulgar manners, the common problems of these generals, are also the only way they can get along with the big-headed soldiers. Do you really think that a gentleman can command these big-headed soldiers? That's definitely a fart.
Zhuge Kongming, who blew to the sky in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", is a model of Confucianism. In fact, Liu Bei's early military operations actually had nothing to do with Zhuge Liang, he was engaged in logistics or something. Many so-called military schemes are fabricated, and in some history, some of them were actually not Zhuge Liang at all, but unfortunately they were hung on Zhuge Liang's head.
Liu Bei entered Sichuan with Pang Tong, and after pacifying Yizhou, his number one adviser was Fa Zheng, and Zhuge Liang had nothing to do with the military for a long time. Only after Liu Bei's death did Zhuge Liang surface. In the war to pacify the ethnic minorities in the south, the combat effectiveness of the regular army of the Shu army had an overwhelming advantage over the rabble of the ethnic minorities, and Zhuge Liang's purpose was to pacify the ethnic minorities, which reflected his superb political skills here. As for the subsequent Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang also fought steadily and steadily, and did not achieve any substantial results under the premise of spending a lot of national strength.
The generals were elated, while the ministers were mournful. It wasn't until now that they found out that Chen Ying was such a terrifying character, and if he went against such a person, he would die!
Their hunch was very good.
In Chen Ying's roar, Zhang Huaiwei, who had just taken over as the general of the Left Wu Houwei, immediately led the ten Zhichong Mansions and thirty regiments of the elite troops of the Tang Army to pour into the various squares of Chang'an City. On the streets of each square, horses were directly erected, road obstacles were erected, and groups of Wuhou guards were armed with bows and crossbows, or swords and shields in their hands.
Behind the regular military guards, followed by the infantry archers led by Fang Lili, most of these soldiers were retired soldiers from the Tang Army, and most of them were older, although they remained silent, but the murderous aura on their bodies was very strong.
The common people saw so many soldiers pouring into the streets, especially the cavalry, the railway was like thunder, and the horizontal swords and swords were like a realm, and the people were weak when they saw these mighty and majestic Tang soldiers.
Originally, the main force of the Shizu gate lords to disturb Chang'an City was these ordinary people, the old and weak women and children, and under the command of the Shizu gate lords, they asked the government to accept their opinions and punish the Shandong Jinglu who collaborated with the enemy and treason to pacify Su Dingfang.
Severely punish the tyrannical and tyrannical general Wei Chi Gong.
Severely punish Feng Li, the general of the Right Tun Guard, who committed the murder.
Severely punish the right prime minister of Shangshu who has forgotten his ancestors, the secretary of the criminal department, and Wei Ting, the minister of political affairs.
Severely punish Li Anyan, the general of the left prison guard who betrayed the official position.
Punish......
If Li Jiancheng truly accepts the will of the people and severely punishes these officials who have been pushed to the forefront, Li Jiancheng will become a real loner.
At this time, the soldiers of the left and right armed guards scattered in various squares and important streets, holding iron horns, shouted at the people who stayed in the streets: "By the order of the great general Chen Linggong, martial law is imposed on Chang'an, and you are limited to returning home within a quarter of an hour, and before the martial law is officially lifted, no one is allowed to stay on the streets, no one is allowed to assemble publicly, no irresponsible remarks are made, and no one is allowed to carry out any form of personal attack on the court, the official office, and the army, and those who violate the order are ......." The cold voice paused for half a second, and its tone was chilling: "Kill or kill!" ”
The real people were instantly stunned by the official declaration of the left and right guards. After all, when the people face the officials, they are naturally at a disadvantage.
The people subconsciously and habitually obeyed the command and platoon of the government.
Seeing the real people slowly leaving, the sailors of the clan lords in the crowd immediately made a countermeasure.
They shouted at the soldiers on the left and right, "We won't leave, what can you do with us!?" ”
"The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, why should he shield these criminals!"
"Every day is clear, where is the reason of heaven!"
"What kind of thing are you lowly soldiers and ruffians, dare to show off your might in front of the old man! If you kill the old man, let the old man see how you kill him! ”
"Wei Chigong's dog legs, if there is a kind, you will kill it, if you don't have that seed, you better go back to feeding!"
"The Holy Son of Heaven is in the court, you ghosts and ghosts will not end well!"
"Kill, come and kill! We are not afraid of you! You have the ability to kill us all! ”
The people who were originally going to go home suddenly hesitated when they saw this scene. People like to conform to the herd, and as long as someone takes the lead, they become bolder.
The crowd was indignant and raised their arms and shouted.
Faced with this situation, the soldiers on the left and right guards were a little panicked, they could ignore the threat of the enemy and let them charge in the rain of bullets, and they would definitely not frown.
The key is that they are all "people", since ancient times, as long as they dare to light up the butcher's knife to the people, there will be no good end, they are afraid of being nailed to the pillar of shame in history, and they are even more afraid of raising the knife to their relatives in the crowd.
In this tricky situation, from the lieutenant to the lieutenant, the lieutenant to the general, the general naturally transferred to Zhang Huaiwei, the general of the left military guard.
Zhang Huaiwei was actually not in the military house, but standing on the Vermilion Bird Street in Chang'an City, on the entire street, there were tens of thousands of people gathered.
The generals looked at Zhang Huaiwei, a general who was usually a little wooden, Zhang Huaiwei was the only one among the sixteen generals who had no relatives, no family, and no family background. Just like Luo Shixin, who was originally from a poor family, his wife was born in the Qinghe Cui family, and she is a first-class wealthy family in the world.
Luo Shixin also has a relationship with the family gate valve to some extent.
However, Zhang Huaiwei is different. His wife is Gao Siniang in Chen Ying's mansion, Gao Wenjin's widowed aunt, and a poor family in the cold family.
Even if Zhang Shigui is here at this time, he will consider the gains and losses. If Duan Zhigan was in this position, he would definitely not dare to give an order. Even Guo Xiaoke is afraid that he will have to be with the mud.
However, Zhang Huaiwei did not hesitate, he was Chen Ying's most loyal subordinate, not to mention that Chen Ying ordered them to suppress the rebellion, even if he led his troops and directly attacked Taiji Palace, he would not frown.
Zhang Huaiwei looked at the people who were getting closer and closer, there was no emotion in his eyes, he was like facing the charge of the Turkic cavalry, silently picked up an iron-tired bow, slowly set up the arrow, and slowly wound it.
"Whew!"
The arrow in Zhang Huaiwei's hand came out of the string and flew towards the crowd. In the ranks, a "civilian" holding a kitchen knife and preparing to charge fell in response.
Sharp arrows shot through the mouth of the common man, and the back of his head pierced, and blood and gray brains flowed out of the arrowheads.
The arrow in Zhang Huaiwei's hand is an order.
The guards on his left and right seemed to be hypnotized, and the crossbowmen on the left and right of the guards also involuntarily followed Zhang Huaiwei's rhythm and forcefully buckled the bracket.
"Oooo
A metallic trill made the air tremble, and a row of crossbow arrows shot out in a burst of cold stars with the wind! After shooting, he handed the crossbow to the back, took the crossbow handed by the second row of archers, glanced at it, and pulled the crossbow again......
The muffled sound of crossbow arrows entering the flesh came and went, and a few rows of people in front of them splashed blood stars, they screamed, hissed, and fell down with a bang! The people behind couldn't help but be shocked, the lethality of the Tang Army's crossbow was so terrifying?
In fact, the lethality of bows and arrows is actually not strong. Really on the tragic battlefield, with arrows in his body, a pawn like a hedgehog can also swing a knife and cut people. However, in the face of a group of civilians who didn't even wear leather armor, it was enough!
With rows of shots, a puff of blood mist was carved out in the crowd, and those civilians who might not have killed even a single fish never dreamed that these soldiers would release arrows when they said that they would release them, and they couldn't hide if they wanted to, the only thing they could do was to bulge their eyeballs, stare at the arrows that were flying at high speed, stick them fiercely, let out a terrible scream of despair, and then fall.
Zhang Huaiwei turned over on his horse, pointed at everyone and shouted: "Go home immediately, otherwise, you will die!! ”
Now no one dares to doubt what this demon said, and the people of Chang'an City have only now been horrified to find that once these Tang soldiers are angry, they are so terrifying!
They screamed, cried, and ran away, trying to escape from these murderous and unblinking soldiers, and the result was an even greater tragedy, so many people huddled together and trampled on each other, and countless casualties were killed and injured in an instant!
The riots in the streets of Chang'an City quickly subsided. Except for the tragic deaths of more than 300 civilians and the wounding of more than 500 people, everything returned to the original track.
When the ministers of the world clan received this result, it was obviously beyond their expectations, but it was expected.
Soldiers dare to kill civilians, and in this way, they occupy the moral high ground.
In the middle of the waiter, Chen Shuda jumped up tremblingly, pointed at Chen Ying with a halberd, and shouted: "You...... How dare you condone soldiers to kill on the streets of Chang'an!? Is there any royal law in your eyes? Do you still have humanity? ”
Chen Ying sneered: "It was they who attacked the Wuhou soldiers on the left and right first, since they dared to attack the Tang soldiers, they should have the courage to bear the revenge of the Tang soldiers." ”
Liyang County Gongdugu Mou screamed: "You are still not a general of the Tang Dynasty, you are still not a general of the Tang Dynasty?" ”
His already frighteningly big eyes are now wider, like an angry toad, but his voice is like a lion, very scary: "If you still admit that you are the general of the Tang Dynasty, you should order these soldiers to stop this inhumane massacre, and arrest these soldiers who kill innocents indiscriminately and execute them!" ”
Chen Ying laughed loudly as if he had heard the best joke, and the laughter was extremely loud, making everyone's ears buzz.
Chen Shuda was even more angry: "What are you laughing at? Isn't it funny? ”
Chen Ying didn't speak, and he couldn't speak, he couldn't stand up straight with a smile, and tears were falling.
Dugu Mou roared angrily: "What the hell are you laughing at! ”
Many ministers showed angry looks, in their opinion, Chen Ying's behavior was extremely impolite, a humiliation to them, and a contempt for the Tang Dynasty!
Li Jiancheng, who was just sitting on the throne, seemed to be out of the way, looking like he was watching a good show.
In fact, Li Jiancheng is just mourning more than dying. He was too disappointed in the officials of these clan lords. After several struggles, Li Jiancheng finally understood who he really relied on.
The world of the Tang Dynasty did not rely on the mouths of scholars, although they did make great contributions at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, such as the surrender of Bashu, the encouragement of the Hebei clan to surrender, and of course Jianghuai, but the direct hero of Jianghuai's surrender was not the ministers in the court, but Du Fuwei who was in a state of seclusion.
After a long time, Chen Ying finally stopped laughing, straightened up and gasped for breath, and said, "I laugh at your hypocrisy!" ”
Chen Shuda's complexion suddenly became extremely ugly.
As a politician, a respected veteran of the Three Kingdoms and Six Dynasties, what he values most is his reputation, how to do it in private is one thing, anyway, this reputation must be maintained, otherwise it will be difficult to get mixed in this circle.
This reckless man dared to scold him for hypocrisy in front of the entire civil minister, and the humiliation of him can be said to be exhaustive, just for this point, he had to fight with Chen Ying endlessly, and he didn't jump out on the spot to fight with Chen Ying, which was already the result of his extreme restraint.
There was no way for him not to restrain himself, because he couldn't beat Chen Ying. Don't look at Chen Ying's force value is not a first-class general in the Tang Dynasty, even like Wei Chigong, Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie, Luo Shixin, and even Zhang Shigui, etc., they can kill him in three moves, and capture him alive in ten moves, but Chen Ying only needs to move a finger to make Chen Shuda fall to the ground, which is self-inflicted humiliation.
Chen Ying didn't give him a chance to speak, because Chen Ying knew very well that he was inferior to these politicians after all.
Chen Ying is best at entering with a white knife and coming out with a red knife.
Chen Ying suddenly said loudly: "Now just killing a few of you lackeys, you are so heartbroken that you jump up and down, but what about our Datang army?" Just because you guys are doing ghosts behind your back, the Jiangnan battlefield collapsed, more than 40 Zhichong Mansions, more than 70,000 soldiers died without turning a blind eye, and tens of thousands of innocent souls in Longyou Dao, they roared in hell. Wu Houwei killed your people, and you want them to pay for their lives, then you killed hundreds of thousands of soldiers, made millions of people into slaves, and left millions homeless, should I also ask you to pay for your lives! ”
There was silence in the Tai Chi Hall.
The officials of the world clan had gold stars in their eyes, their faces were pale, and they subconsciously set their eyes on the important ministers.
Shocked, appalled, frightened, incredulous, hateful...... Those eyes were like countless sharp arrows, piercing the hearts of the ministers.
Chen Ying's words were really terrifying, although there was no evidence to prove that what he said was true, but just these words had already made everyone shudder.
Chen Shuda was furious in some areas, and roared hysterically: "You are talking nonsense! Obviously, you fornicated with foreign enemies, betrayed the Tang Dynasty, cut off dissidents by the hands of the Tang Lord of Fusang and the Tang Dynasty, and buried the loyal and fearless soldiers of the Tang Dynasty! You have sinned heinously, but you have not repented, and you have tried to pour sewage on us, and your intentions are too sinister! ”
Chen Ying still underestimated the degree of their shamelessness.
Chen Ying laughed out of tears: "Say that I fornicated with foreign enemies, betrayed the Tang Dynasty, betrayed Your Majesty, and cut off dissidents by the hands of enemies?" What a wonderful conclusion! But excuse me, is there any evidence? ”
Dugu Mou also jumped up, and said gloomily: "Until now, Datang has lost more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, while your descendant tribes, the Anxi Army, the Dingyuan Army, and Su Dingfang's troops are almost unscathed, this is the evidence!" Your Majesty trusts you so much, in order to evade responsibility, you actually led your cronies back to Chang'an, attacked Taiji Palace, and went on a killing spree on the streets of Chang'an, this is the evidence! ”
Chen Shuda hobbled towards Li Jiancheng, and shouted loudly as he walked: "Your Majesty, the old minister is here, the old minister is fighting for this old bone, and he must protect His Majesty." ”
Li Jiancheng laughed angrily.
What do you mean by strong words? What is the sin of desire, and what is the trouble? That's it, wonderful, wonderful!
Chen Ying's face became gloomy, and his voice was even more gloomy and terrifying: "I originally thought that you were just hypocritical, but now it seems that I still overestimated you." You are not only hypocritical, but shameless to the extreme! ”
Chen Shuda said angrily: "Chen Ying, you are enough!" When we are thinking about the future of Datang, you are still nursing in the arms of a woman, what right do you have to accuse us! ”
Dugu Mou screamed loudly: "Yes, what qualifications do you have to accuse us!" ”
Chen Yingshuai turned his head and said to Li Jiancheng: "Your Majesty, look, I said that I can't reason with them, they have talked too much during this time, you let them be quiet and let me say a few words." ”
Li Jiancheng glanced at Li Anyan, the general of the left prison guard.
Li Anyan understood, and he clapped his hands empty-handed.
With the sound of the collision of the armor blades, a large number of soldiers holding Jia Yuan with the forbidden army poured into outside the Taiji Palace, and after these Yuan soldiers poured into the main hall, they consciously dispersed, and two people controlled one and controlled the ministers in the hall.
As long as you don't cooperate a little, you will immediately smash the old fist over.
crackled, and there was immediately a group of national treasures in the hall.
At this time, these ministers finally learned to be obedient, and they didn't dare to play their mouths, after all, they were also afraid of being beaten!
Chen Ying and Li Jiancheng didn't seem to see the rough performance of the soldiers of the Yuan Sui Forbidden Army.
Until the hall was completely quiet, Chen Ying's eyes were as sharp as lightning, and he slowly glanced at the ministers and said, "Ministers, can I say a few words now?" ”
Say your sister!
Now who dares to refute it.
The glittering horizontal knives were on their necks, and with a flick of their wrists, they were cool.
