Chapter 265: Fireworks in the City

Although tens of millions of people have been in the past, it is a poetic picture in the history books, which makes people read it with a lot of breath and imagination, but in reality, it means determination and death; The carriage slowly stopped in front of the guillotine, Yang Chong walked down calmly, and Yang Chong got off the car with a plump Yuan raider, holding a square cardboard box, step by step graceful and generous, with a smile like a morning glow.

The ministers on the beheading stage are okay, the news from last night is now known, but most of the officials who don't know are stunned, and they have been worried that Yang Chong will respond to Yang Xuangan's army, but they didn't expect Yang Chongren to arrive in Chang'an quietly. But Yang Chong, how dare you come back, don't you know that if you don't get it right, you will be dismissed as Yang Xuangan's comrade, and even lose your life.

The officers and soldiers automatically gave way to a way, and the onlookers looked at the Yuan raider who followed behind Yang Chong, admiring, confused, envious, jealous, hateful, Zhou Ru in front of the window of the restaurant crushed the wine glass in his palm, and was stabbed by the sharpness of the broken porcelain, if the eye can kill, the Yuan raider has died ten thousand times; Zhou Qian didn't seem to notice his daughter's abnormality, and still looked at Yang Chong motionlessly.

Yang Chong walked up to the prison and beheaded the platform, and after seeing Yang Yu, the acting king, he looked at Wei Xuan with emotion and said: "Duke Wei is old, and he is worried about state affairs. ”

Wei Xuan nodded slowly and said, "If Qu Tutong is here, he will be more satisfied with you, and you dare to do anything that Chen Qingzhi doesn't dare." Say, what's the matter with going back to Chang'an? ”

Yang Chong said lightly: "There is a shortage of people, I want to bring some people back to Yiwu from Chang'an, the place you gave me is too short of people, especially the Han people." I know that now that Yang Xuangan is in rebellion, and Chang'an is also short of people, it is better to give me those death row prisoners who are going to be beheaded and take them to the Western Regions to be trained well. ”

"Don't think about it." Wei Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "Yang Chong, if it weren't for your talent, I would have ordered you to be taken down and beheaded right now." ”

Yang Chong arched his hand and asked, "Duke Wei, what crime did they commit?" ”

Wei Xuan said without flinching: "Rebellion." ”

"But there is evidence, as a Zaifu, you can't kill people with no warrants." Yang Chong didn't let a step, Wei Xuan sneered: "Evidence, I'm afraid that when I see the evidence, Chang'an is already full of rebels." ”

Yang Chong shook his head and said, "Gong Wei, there is no excuse for the crime you want to add, please think twice." The royal family is from the Hongnong Yang family, and the slaughter is too heavy, which will make the clansmen disgusted and lose people's hearts; If it causes chaos in Guanzhong again, once Luoyang is lost, what do you do to defend Guanzhong and Chang'an. ”

"Luoyang is lost." Wei Xuan shouted angrily: "Yang Chong, if you talk nonsense again, I will order you two to be killed." ”

Gu Yi sighed, Wei Xuan was under too much pressure these days, if Wei Xuan didn't worry about losing Luoyang, how could he be so at a loss; The Yin World Master asked, "Yang Chong, is there a reason why you say that?" ”

Yang Chongwang looked at Wei Xuan and the three of them and the dozen or so officials behind the three of them and said: "The battlefield is changing rapidly, I have no sources, I don't make an evaluation, I just want to ask, have you figured it out, who is Yang Xuangan threatening to overthrow the Son of Heaven for?" ”

For whom, the nearly twenty officials on the beheading platform fell into deep thought, and Gu Yi exclaimed: "Yang Xuangan said that he was not for glory and wealth, so at least at the beginning he wanted to serve someone as the emperor." ”

Everyone shuddered, there were only a few people who could be emperors in Luoyang, Yang Hui, the king of Qi, Yang Hao, the king of Qin, and Yang Tong, the king of Yue. Although Yang Hui, the king of Qi, was imprisoned, the 20,000 crown prince Zongwei was still nominally Yang Hui's subordinates, and Li Hun, the general of Zuo Wuwei, was Yang Yong's hardcore supporter; Yang Hao, the king of Qin, is the governor of Heyang, Heyang is not far from the other side of Luoyang, and Yang Hao is still Cui Hongdu's nephew; Not to mention Yang Tong, the king of Yue, who was the titular monarch of Luoyang.

Any one of these three people will make Luoyang's defense collapse in an instant, Yang Xuangan never said who he is loyal to, it is likely that he still killed Luoyang City, and it was not time to use the conspirators. A few drops of cold sweat oozed from Wei Xuan's head, his eyes became a little clearer, and he said, "The old man can leave you in Luoyang and see if it is really as you guessed." ”

Yang Chong smiled slightly and said: "Duke Wei, the situation in the Western Regions is not optimistic, otherwise why would I make a special trip back to ask for someone; Besides, Chang'an may not be as you think, and there are many things you can't do either. Let's take a look at a trick and adjust the atmosphere; Attack people, set off the fireworks, maybe this is the last time we will set off in Chang'an. ”

Yuan Xianren smiled sweetly, as if he didn't know that he was being pulled into danger by Yang Chong, lowered his head and put the cardboard box on the ground, lit the fire fold, lit the fireworks, and then quickly threw away the fire fold, covering his ears and hiding aside; Just listen to a loud bang, once the pillar of light shoots into the sky, it explodes beautiful sparks in the high places, blooming into countless small points of light, which are so beautiful and dazzling in the sun. One more, and another one, from inside the city to outside the city, followed by thousands of fireworks, which were spectacular in the sky.

The prison beheader was dumbfounded, judging from the actions of the Yuan raiders, it was not difficult to set off fireworks, but it was obvious that the fireworks were evenly distributed, and one person could only put one at a time, so there were thousands of Yang Chong's people in the city. Yang Chong looked up at the fireworks and said, "Duke Wei, I promise that as long as you leave Chang'an with me, you will not return to Chang'an within three years." ”

Three years, if Yang Xuangan does not die for three years, I am afraid that the Great Sui will really not work. Wei Xuan was so anxious that he could barely speak, pointed at Yang Chong, and said incoherently: "Yang Chong, do you know what you are doing and what you are saying?" ”

Wei Xuan's voice was desolate, and Yang Chong's face was helpless, which made the onlookers sad. In fact, Gu Yi and the others have long understood the relationship between the two of them who appreciate each other, and Wei Xuan's unpretentious words to Yang Chong are that he hopes that Yang Chong will leave this matter far away, but Yang Chong has a resolute attitude and refuses to give in. Acting King Yang Yu suddenly said: "What beautiful fireworks, Lord Yang, you will send some fireworks to Chang'an every year in the future, so that the king and the people can see it; Duke Wei, you just promise him, everything is borne by this king. ”

Acting King Yang Yu is a child again, and he is also the acting king, taking on the important task of staying in Chang'an for Yang Guang, Yang Chong hurriedly thanked him; Wei Xuan's face turned blue, and he waited for Yang Chong to get up and stand up before he said: "Even if the acting king says it, it is necessary to find out the situation, and those who are obviously in collusion with Yang Xuangan will not be forgiven." In addition, just in case, this group of people arrived in Dunhuang and there was no accident, so you can leave Chang'an. ”

Wei Xuansheng was angry, he was still rational in speaking, and if he found out that he was in collusion with Yang Xuangan, he naturally couldn't stay; The so-called accident means that if these people rebel on the road, Yang Chong, who stayed in Chang'an, would have only one result, to kill his head. Yang Chong thanked him: "Thank you Duke Wei for your mercy, it turns out that I am only going to stay in Chang'an for ten days, and I hope that Duke Wei and Shang Shutai will inform Yiwu and Master Wei in an official document, so as not to make a mistake." I don't know if I'm living in prison or in a post house? ”
