11. The transfer yard is embered
Seeing that most of the soldiers had dispersed, Liu Shining could only lead five hundred soldiers to the gate of Bianzhou.
At this time, I saw that the gates of the entire military city had been closed, "Call Li Wanrong and Liu Chang to talk to me!" Liu Shining was furious, and the halberd pointed in the direction of the tower and scolded.
But as soon as the words fell, Li Wanrong and Liu Chang appeared behind the women's wall in armor, and then the two of them said publicly in front of the Xuanwu soldiers inside and outside the city: "The Son of Heaven has an edict, and he will worship Liu Shining to enter the court as the imperial historian, please go on the road." ”
At this moment, the horses on all sides of Bianzhou City and the Xuanwu soldiers standing in the corner towers all shouted in unison: "Please get on the road!" ”
This sound shook Liu Shining's heart, and he almost fell off his horse, and then he couldn't help but tears in his eyes, and pleaded, this military town is my father......
Who wants Li Wanrong at the head of the city to scold him sharply: "If Liu Shining is late again, he will kill his head and dedicate it to the Jingshi!" ”
At this time, Liu Shining could only dismount and kneel on the ground, "Please don't kill my family." ”
"The Son of Heaven only lets you mourn in peace in the Jingshi Jiadi, and the lives of your family are not questioned." Li Wanrong assured him.
After speaking, the side door of the military city was opened, and dozens of people such as wives and concubines and servants in Liu Shining's family were pushed out by Li Wanrong's subordinates.
I was told that my grandmother said that she was too old and didn't want to go to Chang'an City with you anymore, so she only stayed in Biancheng, and presumably Li Wanrong would not be abused.
In desperation, Liu Shining could only lead hundreds of soldiers to escort his family to the west.
As a result, when he just walked to Zhongmu County, seven or eight out of ten of his soldiers had fled, and those who stayed behind were also complaining because of lack of food and clothing.
As for the outside of Luoyang, the eastern capital, the remaining personal soldiers had a seizure, pulled Liu Shining off his horse and beat him, then robbed and divided his luggage, and dragged the accompanying Liu family concubines, advocates and maidservants to the field to rape in turn, and screams, scolding and cruel laughter were everywhere for a while.
On the bushes, all the women's dirty clothes were hung messily, and the sound of wailing came to the ears of Liu Shining, who was sitting on the earthen embankment, and he didn't dare to face it in great pain, so he could only hold his head and act as an ostrich.
I think that when he was still the envoy of the Xuanwu Army, tens of thousands of people followed him to hunt together, what a glorious thing it was, but it was extremely prosperous, and now what is the miserable scene?
After the group of pro-soldiers vented and ran away with their belongings, Du Ya, who stayed behind in the Eastern Capital, sent dozens of military officials and soldiers to greet them, and rescued Liu Shining's family, who were in disarray, and lost all their goods and horses.
Then Liu Shining came to Chang'an City and was convicted in the Daming Palace.
In the Jinluan Palace, after the emperor and Gao Yue discussed, he sent Xuanhui to make the fifth Shouyi hold the edict, read it in front of Liu Shining, and ruthlessly counted Liu Shining's various crimes, Liu Shining sweated profusely and did not dare to say a word, and then the fifth Shouyi issued a resolution on behalf of the emperor:
Liu Shining Ge except for the Imperial Shi Dafu (who was dismissed before he became a doctor), demoted to Chenzhou Don't drive, and the placement outside the staff is also to be reduced by half, so he doesn't have to go to work, and stays in the Beijing Mansion to mourn for the late Situ Liu Xuanzuo, and then discuss the matter of using it after serving the Que.
So Liu Shining was confined in the house, and his wives and concubines and slaves basically left, leaving only a few old slaves with gray heads, serving and living, and outside the courtyard wall every day, there are several patrol city prison children closely monitored, and there will be two lieutenants in Daming Palace every ten days, Liu Shining still has to stand in the hall, accept their repeated reprimands, toss down several times, and becomes like a withered ghost.
The turmoil in Bianzhou City has not ended.
After Li Wanrong took charge of the festival, he immediately hunted down Liu Xuanzuo's son-in-law Zhai Zuoben, Liu Shining's generals Xin Ye and Bai Yingxian, and asked another general, Liu Chang, to be the commander of the soldiers and horses: in order to appease the army, Li and Liu took out all the three or four hundred thousand yuan of money and silk accumulated in the general's mansion, and gave them 30 yuan each to the military academy and tooth soldiers, and 10 yuan to ordinary soldiers.
Immediately, the two went to Liu Xuanzuo's former residence and asked Liu's mother for peace to show their affection.
Liu's mother is a lot of age, with a thin body, sitting in front of the spinning wheel, Li Wanrong and Liu Chang just ask and answer one sentence.
But just when the two were about to say goodbye, Liu's mother suddenly said: "When my son was dying, he had already seen that Shi Ning was not a weapon, so the old man persuaded him that it was better to secretly set up the position of 'hidden prince marshal'. ”
These words were like a bolt from the blue, Li Wanrong and Liu Chang who were present were stupid, and then the two subconsciously looked at each other.
This look is full of extreme distrust.
In the evening of the next day, several soldiers suddenly shouted in the Biansong market: "Situ has a saying on his deathbed, with Liu Chang as the hidden prince and marshal, Li Wanrong colluded with the imperial court, chased Situ's son, and seized Liu Changjingjie." ”
Someone shouted again: "There are soldiers coming outside the city, and the Biansong Dynasty is going to be destroyed!" ”
That night, the wind and sand wrapped in heavy snow, the storm rolled up, the war broke out in the Bianzhou military city, Li Wanrong's military horses, and Liu Chang's military horses, in the Ya Bing Courtyard and other melee fighting, until the next morning: Liu Chang was defeated by Li Wanrong, so he took his henchmen Han Weiqing and Zhang Yanlin, led more than 300 people to break through, and came out of the south gate of the military city.
Liu Chang tried to occupy the treasury at this time, so he rushed into the transfer yard at the Tongji Canal, which was the transfer yard set up independently by the Xuanwu Army after Dou Shen carried out the poor gang law, and was carried out by the inspectors of the shogunate, with its own daitang, boat yard and Jinfeng boat, at this time Liu Chang's soldiers and horses broke in, looted and set fire, and soon Li Wanrong's pursuers came again, which was also arson and looting.
Soon, the soldiers and people around the entire transfer yard took the opportunity to rush to watch the battle, no, it was to participate in the war - the money and silk warehouses in the transfer yard were burned and robbed, especially the boats parked by the river, one after another, burst into flames, and the light on the entire river was endless.
As a result, Liu Chang and others also ran west, and the original treasury of the Bianzhou Transfer Institute was reduced to ashes, and although Li Wanrong was victorious, his strength was greatly damaged.
In the Yanying Hall of Chang'an, from the returning Guo Duankou, Gao Yue, who learned the details of the Xuanwu Mutiny, served Xiangwat in his hand, and asked the emperor together with other prime ministers:
Please send the Zhongwu (Chen Xu's Shence Army, Quhuan is the Jiedu Envoy), Zhenyi (Shaanxi's Shence Army, Yanzi Chu is the Jiedu Envoy) and Heyang Jiedu Envoy Li Yuanchun's soldiers and horses as the first echelon, and take the Fenghua Army in Hezhong, the Jingsai Army in Weibei and the Descendants of the Shenwei Palace as the second echelon, and form a military pressure on Xuanwu Town on the grounds of calming civil strife!
"What to do with Liu Chang?"
"Liu Chang once fought side by side with his ministers in Huating against Xifan, his people were brave, and now they are returning to poverty, the Son of Heaven should not refuse to accept, hurt the hearts of people far away, please take Liu Chang as the Shenwei general, to be of great use." Gao Yue proposed.
"Yes. What about Li Wanrong? ”
"With Li Wanrong as the Xuanwu Army, the disposal will remain unchanged, but the imperial court should re-send the supervising military envoy and the marching Sima to go, and abolish the Bianzhou Transfer Institute."
"Yes!" The emperor has been waiting for this day.
