Chapter 636: Superstition is unacceptable
If people don't have some dreams, what's the difference between them and salted fish.
But if the dream is too big, it will be easy to pull the egg.
Dreams are beautiful, reality is cruel. When Su Gan Chengji and You Wenzhi returned to reality from their dreams, they found that they had been surrounded by circles of guards, and the shiny knives were also on their necks.
Then the two were imprisoned for conspiring and inciting the prince to rebel, and after the emperor came back, he was completely convicted and beheaded.
It's such a rebellious death row prisoner, who saw that he should be beheaded in the autumn after the New Year, but what did he say that in order to make up for his merits, he actually sued the governor of a state, and he was still covered with, but he reported a governor of such a high level.
Usually no one pays attention to it, but this is a case of rebellion, and the court can't ignore it, so it sent someone to investigate.
But even if the governor of this state is the governor of Xiazhou, he is also a member of the third grade, and he is still a feudal official. He has tens of thousands of troops in his hands. The level of the person sent to check naturally cannot be lower.
Moreover, in order not to tie down the people who investigated, Li Shimin also gave the right to dispose of it cheaply, that is, the people sent to investigate can temporarily decide how to deal with it according to the actual situation they are facing, for example, if they encounter resistance, they can directly remove the authority and military power of all resistance officials.
The person sent by Li Shimin to investigate is called Qiu Xinggong, and it has been mentioned before that this Qiu Xinggong is a very cruel person. He is harsh by nature, and his colleagues in the officialdom are extremely jealous of him, Qiu Xinggong also has a more famous and notorious son, Qiu Shenxian, one of the cool officials in the Wu Zetian period in history, and it can also be seen from here that this cruel nature is inherited by the family.
Qiu Xinggong has been impeached and removed from office many times because of his cruel methods, but this person has fought very well, and Li Shimin thinks that he is a talent, and every time he is dismissed, it will not take long for him to be reinstated.
This is also related to Li Shimin's own character, Li Shimin is a very nostalgic person, unless the ministers of the DPRK and China are really angry with Li Shimin to death, otherwise almost all the ministers who have been demoted have a time to reinvent.
A few years ago, when he was conquering the Western Regions, Qiu Xinggong also participated, and because of his meritorious service, he was named the Duke of Tianshui County and promoted to the general of the Right Marquis.
Liu Lancheng, the governor of Daizhou, is also a fierce general, and his titles and official positions are earned by his own efforts and brave killing. When Shuofang was occupied by Liang Shidu, Liu Lancheng
Li Shimin agreed with the strategy of conquering in the previous book, and let him be the Sima of the Governor of Xiazhou, and Xiazhou was near Shuofang, which meant that he would know more about Shuofang, and also prepare for the attack on Shuofang. After attacking Shuofang, Li Ji, Wei Chigong and others were all in command all the way, and then Liu Lancheng was not the commander, but he was the deputy commander of the march, and the capture of the Liang division was followed by the attack on the Eastern Turks, and Liu Lancheng made great contributions.
In the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin sent several of his brothers and older sons to the fiefdom to become a vassal, and Liu Lancheng was arranged to be assigned to Li Su, the king of Shu, Li Su was the governor of Xiazhou, and Liu Lancheng was the governor of the governor's mansion, which was actually equivalent to Liu Lancheng himself being the largest military supervisor in Xiazhou.
Because the vassal kings are not allowed to participate in the military, especially when Li Shimin is obviously clearing the obstacles for the crown prince, no one among the vassal kings is stupid to say that he is in charge of the army.
Later, the Tubo invasion did not ask to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty, Wu Yuanqing Niu entered the front army, and Liu Lancheng led an army of 10,000 people in the follow-up army.
Liu Lancheng is an out-and-out member of the fierce general, the title of the southern expedition and the northern war for many years, he was accused of rebellion, Li Shimin thought of sending Qiu Xinggong, who was quite a fierce general, to investigate.
The result was good, Qiu Xinggong traveled day and night, and ran to Daizhou in a few days, and then went to Daizhou without saying a word to unload Liu Lancheng from the military power and arrest him.
Then the investigation began, and the defendant denied the rebellion against Liu Lancheng, and this had to be investigated by someone else, and it must be cautious and cautious for the governor of a state who is about the same as himself regardless of rank, title, and military exploits.
But it was Qiu Xinggong who came, denying that it was useless to shout injustice, and Qiu Xinggong directly tortured Liu Lancheng.
But this is a big crime of rebellion, it will punish the nine clans, not a joke, Liu Lancheng naturally doesn't admit it, and he is not afraid of death and pain after fighting all his life, and it is useless to use torture.
But it doesn't matter if Liu Lancheng doesn't admit it, Qiu Xinggong can always find what he wants. Qiu Xinggong separated Liu Lancheng's subordinates and tortured them for interrogation, and soon got a news, saying that a person from the Changshe called Xu Xuan's interpretation of the prophecy, well, it is the meaning of divination and fortune-telling, and there is an idiom called a proverb that is almost the same, that is, the prophecy, especially the bad prophecy, is said to be right.
That is to say, such a person predicted or bewitched Liu Lancheng and said: "There are long-term people in the world, and General Liu should be the lord of the world."
You see, what this person said is a rebellious remark, saying that Liu Lancheng will become the master of the world.
In ancient times, it was superstitious, and this kind of thing would rather be believed than believed. But Liu Lancheng didn't believe this, but he didn't believe that others would believe it, once this word spread to the emperor's ears, he would definitely be in danger, so Liu Lancheng locked up Xu Xuan.
It's not that Liu Lancheng doesn't want to kill this Xu Xuan, but he can't kill him, because although Liu Lancheng doesn't believe Xu Xuan's words, he can't help his son believe it.
Liu Lanzi's son Liu Zhao said to Liu Lancheng: "It is said that the north of the sea is the son of heaven, and my family is also in the north of the sea." ”
What he meant was that he prophesied that the place in Haibei would produce the Son of Heaven, and our family was Beihai, so it must be you, father.
The most indispensable thing in the world is the son of a pit father, Liu Zhao not only believed this so-called prophecy, but also shared this prophecy with his good subordinates.
Gang up, gamble for the glory and wealth.
The turtle son moved too fast, and when Liu Lancheng wanted to kill Xu Xuan, his son had already told more than three or five people about the prophecy. This is a fart, you can kill one and kill them all.
Besides, if you don't kill it cleanly, and the news leaks, the whole family will die immediately.
Liu Lancheng didn't dare to take this risk, so he could only put Xu Xuan under house arrest, and then talk and discuss with his pit father son and those who knew the prophecy, saying that this matter of being the emperor should not be rushed, we must plan carefully.
Liu Lancheng's meaning is to procrastinate, how long can it be delayed, maybe when will he find an opportunity to kill all the hidden dangers except for their father and son.
Drag it out, there will be a turnaround if it drags it down.
