Volume 9 National Chaos Chapter 388 It's better to cry all the way than to cry as a family

Li Mian's heart has sunk to the abyss, he now finally knows what charges Zhang Huan wants to frame them, rebellion, kidnapping the queen mother, no matter which of these two crimes is a big crime that is full of beheading, his heart is about to drip blood, although he knows that the possibility of failure is far greater than success, but at this moment, he still has a feeling of despair. uctxt

The people in the clan were already confused, and there was an extremely frightened look in everyone's eyes, "Li Shang, in fact, I don't want to participate, you killed me!" ”

"I surrender, don't kill me." Li Chenghong jumped out of the carriage and ran desperately backwards with unprecedented bravery, waving his arms as he ran, "I'm actually your Dudu's secret agent, spare me."

He froze suddenly, the tip of a wolf's tooth arrow coming out of the back of his head, and he fell straight to the ground, his body twitching unwillingly

Lee Seung-hong's death frightened all the clans, and some people began to cry loudly.

Li Mian's forehead was a big drop of sweat downward, he knew that Zhang Huan was really going to take the sect this time, at a glance, he suddenly found that Li Li had secretly taken off his dragon robe, and he was riding on a horse at some point, but he was still wearing a three-beam crown on his head, a thought flashed, he still had five thousand families outside, and the city must have been in chaos, and now the only way to escape from the imperial city first, and then take advantage of the chaos to leave Chang'an, Li Mian roared, "Hurry out of Jingfengmen." ”

The carriage group of the clan was less than thirty steps away from the fork in the road, and a thousand of Duan Xiushi's personal guards turned their heads to the north to resist the rushing cavalry, and in this moment, Li Mian and others got a chance to rush through the intersection and flee in the direction of Jingfeng Gate. The door was closed, and everyone only knew that someone had kidnapped the Queen Mother to rebel. I don't know the exact situation, but most people guessed that it must be someone who opposed Zhang Huan who started to act.

Although Duan Xiushi's personal guards are strong, they are infantry, and they are weaker than cavalry, especially the cavalry guarding Daming Palace and Taiji Palace is under the banner of the Tiancai Battalion, and it is composed of the most elite cavalry of the Anxi Army.

They immediately had a hard crossbow with great precision. Arrows and arrows take people's lives, the speed of the crossbow is incomparable, often an arrow is shot, immediately the crossbow becomes a knife, the horizontal knife is slashed out, they will not fight one-on-one, often four or five people besiege one person, the periphery is also given cold arrows, and if you succeed, you will immediately change another person, and the cooperation is very tacit.

In the midst of screams. Duan Xiushi's personal guards suffered heavy losses, and more than half of them were killed and wounded in just a few moments, and they retreated in the direction of Jingfeng Gate. At this time, the clans who had rushed to the Jingfeng Gate were all in discouragement, and they did not see the heroic image of Li Shen leading eight hundred guards to guard the gate in their imagination, but what they saw was a dense army blocking the gate, the ground was full of dead corpses, and countless arrows flashing with cold light were aimed at them. Li Mian suddenly saw Li Shen's father and son, who had turned into two human heads hanging from an officer's saddle.

"The Queen Mother is in our hands, you dare to be rude!"

Li Mian shouted in despair. But the answer to him was a flood of arrows. Each arrow had a grim smile with it. Shoot mercilessly. Li Mian's eyes suddenly darkened. In the dark. He saw the coffin lid slowly open in the middle of the chamber.

"Kill! Except for the Queen Mother. Not a single one is left. These were the last words he had ever heard in the world.

At the same time when the war broke out in the Imperial City. A brief battle also broke out on Suzaku Street at UCTXT. One-sided slaughter, to be exact. The motley army, composed of 5,000 family members, collapsed under only one attack by the Longyou army. They were overwhelmed by the rolling of human heads, the stumps and severed arms, and the overflowing entrails. Throw down your sword and run in all directions. But the doors are closed. They have nowhere to run for their lives. They knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

A farce initiated by Li Mian to replace the new emperor soon ended. But this farce does not end in comedy or drama. It was the beginning of a bloody storm. It is the only way for the emperor to change. It was a bloody plunder that accumulated primitive wealth for the reform of the Tang Dynasty. Under the order of Zhang Huan to cry all the way as well as a family. The Long Right Army, which had been silent, finally revealed its hideous appearance.

From noon. Martial law was declared in the Ten Kings' Mansion, where the clan was located. Groups of heavily armed soldiers began to arrest people from house to house according to the list of places found in Li Mian's house. All the families involved in the rebellion were not spared. All men over the age of 18 were to be taken to the East Inner Court to be beheaded. The rest of the women, children, and children were held elsewhere. Prepare for exile in Anthy. Their property was confiscated, their land confiscated, and their slaves freed. In just half a day, 386 clan disciples were killed. The bloody rain and bloody wind shrouded the sky above the Ten Kings' Mansion.

It's not just the Ten Kings' Mansion. Many sporadic clans and powerful mansions living in Chang'an also faced extinction. The front of the royal mansions was full of people who came to see the lively Chang'an. When a team of gorgeously dressed men and women were escorted out of the house with their heads down. Eggs and stones were thrown at these men and women of the clan who were usually arrogant. Cursing and laughter rang out.

From noon, the sound of firecrackers continued into the night, and on this day, cries and laughter went hand in hand, and the faint cries were finally muffled by festive cheers.

At night, Pei Youdi's carriage traveled all the way, Pei You, Han, and Lu Qi in the carriage had heavy faces, no one spoke, the carriage galloped quickly, Pei You stared out the window, from time to time there was a light flashing in front of the window, he saw a huge white paper pasted on the wall, that is the list of ninety-seven rebels who participated in the rebellion and broke into the palace to kidnap the Queen Mother, which is overwhelming in Chang'an City, and this list can be seen everywhere, whether it is true or not, these ninety families have made a conclusion about the coffin.

Pei You sighed, "It's too ruthless, just kill a few leaders, and don't let go of any of the ninety-seven clans, hey!" ”

At this time, Lu Qi on the side also said with understanding: "I can see that his real purpose is to ask for land, grain, and money, and he has almost wiped out the richest people in Datang in one net, as well as his tax inspection in Jiangdu, this time I don't know how much grain and land he can get, I think, let alone one or two hundred million yuan!" What a bloody accumulation of wealth! ”

"The prison country is taking money and food for the people of the world, what's wrong! It is better to plunder these rich and unkind clans than to plunder the common people! Han was a little dissatisfied with Lu Qi's tone. He said angrily: "Lu Shang is living in fine clothes and food, and he is not a step away from Chang'an. I don't know how miserable the people in the world are, how many people have been deprived of their land by these clans, and become their slaves and tenants, how do you know how many people have been displaced in the Central Plains Rebellion, seeing that the summer harvest is coming, how many acres of wheat fields can you see in the Central Plains? Millions of people will be given relief until the autumn, how much food do you think the government still has in its hands? You can go to a county in the Central Plains casually. Where there are no groups of displaced people, where there are no orphans whose parents have died, they are hungry and cold, dragging their families to live in dilapidated kilns and rotten houses, and who is willing to give a penny or a grain of rice to help them? ”

Lu Qi listened very unpleasantly, and he snorted coldly, "That's their fate, who told them not to be born in a rich family, but the important thing is who the Tang Emperor should speak for?" If you don't speak for the wealthy, can't you speak for the lower-class people? Han was furious, and he pushed the car window. Pointing out the window, he said to Lu Qi: "Listen, what does the sound of firecrackers all over the city mean?" This is the people's heart, and the family crying in exchange for laughter all the way. The country should be people-oriented, the people can be strong when the people are rich, and if one hundred and ten clans occupy the wealth of the world, can the Tang Dynasty be strong? Can it attract the worship of all nations, and can it be called the Khan of Heaven? ”

"That's it! All right! Pei You interrupted the argument between the two, "Don't argue with the two colleagues, let's think about the reality!" How to clean up today's mess? ”

Lu Qi was in a really bad mood today. Li Shen, who had always been good friends with him, died, and several sons were also taken to Dongneyuan to be beheaded, he was helpless, at this moment he couldn't help but have a trace of resentment towards Zhang Huan, but he didn't dare to show this resentment, he glanced at Pei You, and sneered bitterly: "Pei Shang laughed at the dead, how to clean up this mess still need to think?" I don't believe you weren't involved in planning this massacre beforehand. ”

"Stop!" Pei Youdi's face immediately became gloomy, and he waited for the carriage to stop. He said coldly to Lu Qi: "Lu Shang." Tonight is a big deal, and you seem to be emotionally unstable. Please come back! ”

Lu Qi's face was red and white, and he suddenly stomped his feet, "Okay, you go and flatter the powerful!" I go to mourn the dead. ”

He immediately pushed the door open and stepped out of the carriage, turned over his horse, and drove away, accompanied by several guards.

Looking at his back in the night, Han screamed! scolded, "What! ”

"Forget it, their Lu family and Li Shen have always had a deep relationship, this time Li Shen was the first to be killed, of course he won't be in a good mood, let him go!"

Pei You sighed, he always thought that Zhang Huan's killing was too heavy, and he was afraid that it would arouse the dissatisfaction of many people, he closed his eyes, thinking about how to persuade Zhang Huan to spare the women and children of these clans, and exile Anxi, it would be too miserable.

Han was very excited, his mood could not be calmed for a long time, he saw Zhang Huan's courage and determination to reform from this massacre, he also closed his eyes, and began to conceive of his first book in his mind, the establishment of the Datang Chamber of Commerce, which was an idea he had for a long time.

The carriage picked up speed in the darkness and sped in the direction of the Taiji Palace.

In the Tai Chi Palace, Cui Xiaofu was lying on the couch with a pale face, she had washed all the lead, and her old face was undoubtedly exposed, but she didn't care anymore, her heart was dead.

In a massacre in Jingfengmen at noon, all the clans around her were killed, she saw Li Mian being shot into the head with an arrow, and saw Li Li being hacked to death with a knife, a bloody and cruel picture lingered in her mind, the pleading of the princes, the despair before death, she only knew when she returned to the palace that the little emperor was also poisoned, and today, she once again experienced the cruelty of the struggle for the throne.

She suddenly remembered the last cry when Li Yu was killed, "My son will avenge me!" ”

The scene that has been almost obliterated by the years appeared so clearly in front of her eyes, that day, she was sad under a plum tree outside her window, the sword protruded, murderous, the palace people fled from all over the place, she hid in the first emperor's room, but witnessed a bloody scene as today, Li Yu's cry was deeply engraved in her heart, but she didn't expect that it finally came true today, twenty-eight years later.

Maybe that's fate! The god of fate allowed her to witness twenty-eight years of reincarnation once again.

Cui Xiaofu closed her eyes extremely tired, she wanted to sleep well, hoping that she could forget this nightmare tomorrow.

As soon as she closed her eyes, she suddenly heard Feng Endao's voice outside the palace, "Pei Shang, Han Shang, the Queen Mother has already rested, let's talk about it tomorrow!" ”

"But the matter is very important, we will not disturb the Queen Mother unless it is absolutely necessary." This is Pei Youdi's voice.

Cui Xiaofu seemed to understand something, she turned over and sat up, stroked her hair a little and said, "Old man, let them in!" ”

After a while, Pei You and Han hurriedly walked in and bowed to Cui Xiaofu, "I'm sorry to disturb the Queen Mother's rest, but the stakes are very high, and the ministers are also forced to do so." ”

"Pei Shang doesn't have to be polite, please say anything directly." Cui Xiaofu said tiredly.

"The minister heard that the emperor also died unfortunately, and the minister was very sad, but the prison country has not returned, and I can't be without a king for a day, so the two of us want to discuss it with the queen mother and consider establishing a new monarch as soon as possible." Your ministers can discuss this matter, and there is no need to ask the mourning family. ”

But Pei You looked at Cui Xiaofu, but the words behind him did not come out.

Cui Xiaofu sneered, "I know that his purpose in not killing the mourning family is to get the mourning family to recommend him as the new emperor, it seems that he also has self-knowledge!" ”

At this time, Han Zai beside him sincerely persuaded: "Queen Mother, you can't say that, Her Royal Highness the Prison State ascended the throne is expected by everyone, at least there will be a lot less killing in the future, the Queen Mother happily agreed, I think he will not embarrass the Queen Mother, and will let the Queen Mother live in the palace for a hundred years, this is a happy thing, the Queen Mother should follow the trend." ”

At least there will be a lot less killings in the future. Cui Xiaofu repeated Han's words twice, and she finally nodded and said, "This sentence is still human, okay!" The mourning family promises you, but I want you to guarantee that he will not kill the mourning family again! ”

Pei You and Han hurriedly gave a deep salute and said in unison: "The ministers are willing to guarantee with their lives, as long as the Queen Mother cooperates, His Royal Highness will definitely not hurt the Queen Mother." ”

With the solemn guarantee of the two, Cui Xiaofu put down her heart slightly, and then asked, "What are you going to let the mourning family do?" ”

Pei You and Han glanced at each other, and Pei You said slowly: "Tomorrow, the imperial court will hold an emergency meeting of court officials above the fifth grade, and at that time, please ask the queen mother to announce in court that Her Royal Highness is the new emperor." ”
