Chapter Eighty-Three: The Death of the Nation

The voice landed, symbolizing the Taiji Hall of the pinnacle of the power of the Great Wei, the Taiji Hall for which many scholars had fought for their whole lives, and it turned into a Shura field in an instant. Everyone present, whether inside or outside the hall, never thought that Sun Rong would kill in this place, for a while you pushed me and dragged me, ran and shouted, the scene was chaotic into a pot of porridge, and the people who were sentenced to death outside the hall did not care about the dignity of the doctor, and there were many people who called their father and mother to kneel and beg for mercy.

However, it was all in vain, and once the killing began, no one could stop it. In just one cup of tea, more than 300 officials were killed. The flesh blurred everyone's vision, but Sun Rong sniffed the smell of blood in the air, as if he was enjoying it.

"Sun Rong!" Suddenly, there was a loud shout, and Wei Yong came out of the crowd, "What right do you have to kill innocents here indiscriminately, kill all these people, who will I rely on in the future to govern Great Wei?" Do you rely on you, a butcher who kills at every turn? ”

The left and right people hurriedly grabbed Wei Yong's sleeve and whispered to him: "Situ is angry, don't offend this madman." ”

Wei Yong hated to shake them off: "The old man is old, it's a big deal, what are you afraid of!" ”

Sun Rong squinted at Wei Yong, his eyes were red, and his expression seemed to be smiling, and he couldn't help but shudder when he saw the hundred officials in the hall.

"Sun Rong, Situ Wei Gong is the Great Wei Qisu, and if he hurts him, he is the enemy of the world." A person beside Wei Yong was worried that Sun Rong would do something to him, so he hurriedly stepped forward to explain the benefits.

Sure enough, Sun Rong hesitated for a moment, and his complexion gradually returned to normal.

Seeing this, Han Yan rolled his eyes, and whispered to Sun Rong: "These two old things rely on the old and sell the old, and they don't put the general in their eyes at all, why don't they kill them." The general had no foundation in the court, and killed them, just in time to replace them with a group of obedient ones. ”

"Listen to the military advisor!" Sun Rong nodded yes, and then glanced at Sun Wei again. Sun Wei understood, and without saying a word, he stepped forward with a knife, and the dignified Wei Situ died because he said a fair word.

The hall was chaotic again, but Sun Rong shouted: "Quiet! Calm returned in an instant. After all, everyone's life is only one, and they are all firmly in Sun Rong's hands, even if he goes out to fight with him at this moment, it is just his own life in vain, Sun Rong even killed more than 300 people, and he will not care about killing a few more, so he can only forbear.

Seeing that the courtiers were so afraid of him, Sun Rong felt the pleasure brought by the supreme power for the first time, which was completely different from the recklessness of commanding thousands of Huaiwu, and even tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

The corners of Sun Rong's mouth were filled with a smile, and he continued to enjoy the fear of the hundred officials: "The country can't be without a king for a day, and the traitorous party has been eliminated, what Sun wants to discuss with you next is the candidate for the new monarch, I don't know what you propose?" ”

The eyes of the crowd were wide and small, and no one dared to speak first.

Seeing that no one was silent, Sun Rong encouraged: "You can speak freely, we are here to discuss, it is normal to have differences, how to eliminate differences and reach an agreement is the key." ”

"Zhou doesn't know what Huaihou means by this." Zhou Zhengzhi came out of the crowd, "The hearts of the people in the world are all in Changle King, what are the differences?" ”

With Zhou Zhengzhi's beginning, everyone also seconded the proposal.

"Yes! Your Majesty has no children, and his brother is the last brother, and the position of this new monarch is none other than the King of Changle! ”

"Guolai Changjun, doesn't Huaihou want to learn from that Hu Shen to be a son?"

Sun Rong laughed dryly: "You misunderstood Sun, and Sun also thinks that no matter what aspect you consider, you can't find a more suitable person than His Royal Highness King Changle, just because Sun's little sister is the princess of Changle, and I am worried that you will misunderstand Sun's favoritism, so I didn't dare to express my position, and I didn't think it would be self-defeating, but it made you suspicious." ”

Zhou Zhengzhi took the opportunity to catch up with his tone: "That being the case, Zhou is willing to go to Yanzhou as an envoy to welcome His Royal Highness King Changle back to the throne." ”

Sun Rong bowed his head, and after finalizing some details, he led the troops to leave, and the tormented civil and military officials finally breathed a sigh of relief, and several people even sat on the ground, relieved.

Sun Rong patted Han Yan on the shoulder as he walked: "What princes and generals, what gold, purple, silver and green, they are not ordinary people, and they have to bow their heads in front of strength, which is really happy." The general's achievements today are all due to your strategy. ”

Han Yan frowned and said: "The general can't be careless, the general also saw it just now, the popularity of King Changle is far higher than we imagined, this is probably not the blessing of the general!" ”

Sun Rong waved his hand: "The military advisor is too worried, standing in the position of this general, why shouldn't he choose King Changle, don't forget that he is the brother-in-law of this general!" ”

Han Yan said "earnestly": "Generals need to keep in mind that this is the court, not the army, and not the rivers and lakes!" This is not a place to talk about righteousness, when it comes to power, brothers can still turn against each other, let alone Uncle Lang? ”

Sun Rong couldn't help but nod again and again, as if he felt the same way: "If it is reasonable, presumably the military advisor must have a clever strategy." ”

Han Yan pondered for a moment: "Since he has full wings, let's cut his wings before he comes back, and kill a group of courtiers in the name of eliminating the Hu Party, so that even if he ascends to the throne, he will have to rely on the general in the face of no one available." ”

Even Sun Wei and others, who followed Sun Rong's southern expedition to the north, still couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts when they heard this, but Sun Rong didn't care at all, and after a little thought, he agreed: "Just according to what the military advisor said!" ”

In the following days, the entire city of Luoyang was shrouded in the shadow of death, and the bustling and noisy scene of the past had long since disappeared. A large number of ministers died, dressed in good clothes, not to mention the Yuan Ye and Hu families, in just a few days, more than 7,000 scholars and their families died unexpectedly, and Luoshui was also dyed red. The catastrophe unleashed by Sun Rong's selfishness cost the lives of countless pillars of the Great Wei elite, and the devastating blow to the Great Wei court was by no means comparable to the death of one or two emperors or empress dowagers.

When Zhou Zhengzhi found Yuan Rui with the news of the great changes in Luoyang and begged him to return to Beijing to take over the overall situation, Yuan Rui was also shocked. Sun Rong is not a good type, he had already seen this when he went to Huaiwu for the first time, but this person could be so mad that he could never dream of it.

Referring to returning to Beijing, Yuan Rui was a little relieved: "Although it is said that the alchemy room of the worm was burned, but their national teacher ran away, as long as this person is still there, it is just a matter of raising hands to build ten or eight more alchemy rooms." ”

Geng Tong on the side really couldn't stand it: "Your Highness, do you know how Zhuge Liang, a famous minister of the Three Kingdoms, died?" ”

Yuan Rui said confusedly: "Sick to death...... bar. I don't know what his intention was in asking this.

Geng Tong shook his head: "No, Zhuge Liang is tired to death because of his lack of food!" ”

Yuan Rui: "Hmm...... So? ”

Geng Tong: "Your Highness still doesn't understand, there are so many things in the world, can you do it alone, Your Highness?" Those in high positions should know how to let go, know people well, and rule the world despite the arch. At present, Luoyang is the disease of my Great Wei's henchmen, and the people are waiting for His Highness to rescue him, but His Highness doesn't care, but cares about this creep. Although the worm is powerful, after all, it is just a group of rabble who only know the courage of the horseman, and they don't know anything about the mysteries of the art of war. ”

Zhou Zhengzhi praised: "The old general said it too well, the matter is urgent, Your Highness must not hesitate any longer, every time Your Highness delays here, Luoyang will not know how many scholars will die in the clutches of Sun Rong, then the court will be empty, who will govern my Great Wei?" ”

Under the persuasion of the two, Yuan Rui finally made up his mind and quickly returned to Luoyang with Zhou Zhengzhi.

The group hurried up, and finally saw the high Luoyang gate again. Leading Han Yan and a group of old Huaiwu marquis to greet Yuan Rui on the side of the road was Sun Rong, who had been absent for nearly a year, of course, not far from them, there were hundreds of civil and military officials who escaped by luck and saved their lives.

Thinking of what Sun Rong had done, Yuan Rui forcibly suppressed his anger: "I haven't seen you for many days, don't come to Huaihou!" ”

Sun Rong said: "The country is not peaceful, and the ministers dare not be sick!" ”

Yuan Rui smiled noncommittally: "I heard that Huaihou killed a lot of people? ”

Sun Rong also felt Yuan Rui's hostility at this moment: "The ministers killed were all rebellious ministers and thieves who brought disaster to the country. ”

Yuan Rui: "Since Huaihou invited this king to come back to preside over the overall situation, he must abide by the law and discipline in the future, and he must not make decisions without authorization. After speaking, he didn't wait for Sun Rong to reply, and took a selfie and entered the city.

didn't take two steps, and suddenly found that there was one person missing, and when he looked back, he saw Shangguan Qian looking at Han Yan in a daze, his eyes were extremely complicated, and he had all kinds of emotions of shock, anger, and panic. Yuan Rui had known Shangguan Qian for so long, he had never seen him have such an expression, not even the last time he met Duan Jiutian again.
