Chapter 887: Return to Beijing
Suddenly, Chen Wou-Ki's mother was mentioned.
Chen Wuji couldn't help but be gloomy, his mother was really cruel to herself, although she was a little sad in her heart, she still cheered up, Chen Wuji raised her eyes to look at Chen Kaizhi, and said with a faint smile: "Your Majesty, the remnants of the sons, what does Your Majesty plan to do in the future?" ”
Chen Kaizhi looked into Chen Wuji's eyes and said lightly: "How to deal with it depends on themselves, it doesn't depend on me." A ray of coldness passed in Chen Kai's eyes, and his voice was extremely cold: "If they are subservient to me, they may be able to have a place to stay, and even their status is not negotiable, but if other delusions are born, how can I tolerate them?" ”
On this point, Chen Kaizhi did not compromise.
A hundred schools of thought contend, of course, is good, but for the unification of the imperial power, it also means a great hidden danger, if you are willing to obey, it is nothing, once there is something else, or want more, then, the so-called hundred schools of thought, is nothing more than the root of the war.
If they can't keep to themselves and want to break his rule, then he will not be merciful.
Chen Kaizhi pondered for a moment, and then spoke again: "This time you came here with me, you must have learned a lot of things, remember it carefully, in the future, it will be of great use." Chen Kaizhi squinted, his gaze became deep, and he looked at Chen Wuji and said lightly.
"I have a hunch that there will be a vicious battle that has never been seen in 500 years, and this battle is related to the trend of the next 500 years."
He is not joking, as long as there is a big change, it can determine the future direction, as well as the pattern, so now is a very important moment, if you don't take a step, you have to be careful. Therefore, he also hoped that Chen Wou-Ki could learn more.
Chen Wuji nodded, and said to Chen Kaizhi: "The subordinate brother must have been born in the warrior camp to sharpen. However, the evil battle ...... Is it time to attack Hangu Pass now, now the imperial brother has punished the Yang family, and the defenders of Hangu Pass ......"
Chen Kaizhi shook his head and smiled at him: "Hangu Pass has been solved. ”
Chen Wuji was stunned for a moment, looking at him very puzzled, as if he didn't quite understand what Chen Kaizhi meant.
Chen Kaizhi smiled at him and said, "There are many things that you haven't seen through. Do you know why I killed the Yang family? If Yang Chen really threatened me that day, so that I would not dare to rashly make a move against the Yang family, the 100,000 thief army in Hangu Pass would definitely not surrender easily. ”
Chen Wuji couldn't help but say, "Brother still doesn't understand. ”
The smile on Chen Kaizhi's face was still the same, but his voice became a little cold.
"Because this is their bargaining chip, if the Yang family doesn't kill them for a day, they think that I will throw a mouse trap, and because of this, the people and horses of Hangu Pass may be attached on the surface, but they will never easily lay down their weapons, because they know that as long as I am still afraid of them, they can entrench themselves in Hangu Pass, and use this as an excuse to continue to fight with me."
"And I have exhausted the Yang clan in Chang'an, which is to tell them that I don't care if they surrender or not, if they don't surrender, I can still send troops from Chang'an and Luoyang to attack Hangu Pass, so that they can finish off, even if they pay more price, they will definitely set foot in Hangu Pass. Think about it, at this time, will they dare not surrender? ”
"But I heard that Yang Xiong, the governor of Hangu Pass, who led the troops, is also a member of the Yang family...... Now that His Majesty has punished his people, how can he dare to surrender? ”
As he spoke, Chen Kaizhi's face was expressionless, and he paused word by word.
"Because he has to surrender, even if he doesn't surrender himself, those generals under him, as well as 100,000 officers and soldiers, are afraid that they are already embattled, and they will not send them to death for the Yang family, if he comes to surrender, perhaps, he can still save a life, if he does not surrender, even if I don't take other people's heads, his subordinates will also send his heads. The war in Guanzhong is over. ”
As he was talking, a eunuch panted and climbed up to the lookout, bowed down, and said in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, congratulations, Yang Xiong sent a surrender table, and 100,000 soldiers and horses in Hangu Pass have been disarmed and surrendered, and they are at the disposal of Your Majesty." ”
Chen Kaizhi didn't have much expression on his face, just nodded lightly: "Very good, I should also go to Hangu Pass." ”
Chen Wuji couldn't help but call: "Brother Huang, go to Hangu Pass?" If you go now, I'm afraid of ......"
He was a little worried, and his voice began to weaken, he was very worried about Chen Kaizhi.
Chen Kaizhi shook his head at him: "Don't be afraid, 100,000 people have surrendered, but now the army's heart is still floating, if I go, these 100,000 soldiers and horses can be divided in peace, in addition, I should also go back to Luoyang and clean up the situation, so, starting from Mengjin, go south along the river, hurry to Luoyang, and then take Luoyang soldiers and horses, go to Hangu Pass, as for the soldiers and horses of Chang'an, now not a single soldier can be mobilized, the manpower here is already tight, and it is necessary to take precautions, only to completely disarm Hangu Pass, Guanzhong is the real Dading, Wuji, you go with me. ”
Chen Wuji felt that sometimes Chen Kaizhi's mind was really unpredictable, and he smiled bitterly: "Brother obeys the order." ”
In the early morning of the next day, Chen Kaizhi and Chen Wou-ki, together with dozens of guards, arrived at Mengjin Port.
There are still traces of the aftermath of the water battle, the wreckage of the warship was hit on the riverbank, and there are still many floating corpses in the water.
It's much easier to go down the river than to go against the current.
And although Chen Kaizhi is the son of heaven, but after all, he is a 'mud leg' background, so he doesn't need any luan, for the king of Shoucheng, the relationship between pomp and the prestige of the imperial power is the stability of the world, but for people like Chen Kaizhi, the means to rule the world rely on his majesty and gentleness.
He sat on the bow of the boat, watched the things on both sides of the strait row by in an instant, and in a blink of an eye, he went to the waters of Luoyang, stayed off the boat, and directly ordered someone to take Chen Kaizhi's order arrow to the post station to get a fast horse, and went straight to Luoyang.
In fact, this way back and forth, although it is in a hurry, but what you see and hear along the way, Chen Kaizhi sees more than is full of devastation, even if it is known as a stable and prosperous Chen, may be in the history of the pen, boasting of the so-called prosperous era, but more is still poor, especially after leaving Luoyang and Chang'an, the bazaar on this road, mostly ragged people, for decades, the continuous fighting in the temple, and more and more frequent natural disasters, resulting in a large number of displaced people, all kinds of rumors about thieves in the valley and the forest, is even more noisy, This is still the land of Gyeonggi, and it is said that many remote places are even more shocking.
Chen Kaizhi felt that there was no trace of relaxation, and he moved forward on horseback, and by the evening of the next day, the outline of Luoyang City was already in front of him.
Seeing, this Luoyang City is about to close the city gate, which shows that Luoyang is still enforcing the curfew, think about it, since the news of the letter Guguan, has not yet come, Chen Kaizhi and others quickly stepped forward, at this time there are many people outside the city who want to enter the city, but the guards are anxious to close the city gate, for a while, the people are noisy, the guards are holding whips and shouting: "What is the trouble, close the city gate, the court has a decree, the three minutes have passed, close the nine gates, no one is allowed to enter and exit, who dares to cross the Lei Chi, the party should be disposed of." ”
The people who entered the city, there are businessmen, but more are ordinary people, most of them are outside the city to make a living, must return home at night, thinking that because they are a step late, so they need to stay outside the city for a night, they still want to work harder, and there are humane: "Ask the official to raise his noble hand, the sun is still early, and the villains enter the city, but only a moment and a half of effort, and the delay is not possible." ”
The guards shouted and shouted to beat people, and they made a lot of noise.
Chen Wuji was behind Chen Kaizhi, he had been bullied before, and at this time he showed an angry face, and was about to step forward to make a move on the guard, but Chen Kaizhi stopped him, and then stepped forward and said calmly to the guard: "I want to enter the city." ”
When the guards looked at Chen Kaizhi and the others, they were about to scold at first, but it can be seen that the sword on Chen Kaizhi's waist, as well as the guards behind him, are all tigers and bears, and some people are even wearing inner linings that only the guards have, so they were immediately deflated and hurriedly said: "I don't know who the adult is?" ”
A janissary stepped forward and took a forbidden army's waist card, the guard saw this, so he didn't ask any more questions, and turned sideways to let Chen Kaizhi and others in, Chen Kaizhi was about to leave, but he still stopped and said: "These people, let them enter the city." ”
"This ......," the guard hesitated.
Chen Wuji was furious, but fortunately, the guards still had eyes, and finally shouted: "Enter the city, enter the city, all enter the city." Hurry up, only half a pillar of incense. ”
So there were cheers from the crowd, and Chen Kaizhi and others entered the door first.
After entering the city, Chen Wuji couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "Brother Huang, these guards are so dependent on the court and making things difficult for the people, why is the imperial brother indifferent, but the courtiers want to give them a few ear scrapers." ”
Chen Kaiyi smiled and said: "This is your position in the position of the people, but in the position of the guards, they are not wrong, since there is an order from above, a curfew at night, at this point in time, the city gate needs to be closed, if it is not closed, it will not become disobedience and disrespect, if you continue to think about it like this, if it is because the city gate is not closed on time, if it happens that the thief army in Hangu Pass is not pacified, they send a ranger to attack the city, then, what will happen?" ”
Chen Kaizhi sighed: "So, I naturally know that you have mercy on the people who have not entered the city, but these guards are just ordinary pawns who obey orders, if they disobey orders, they will have to be beaten with military sticks, things in this world, you must not simply look at it, where is there so much right and wrong and black and white, in the end, this world is full of many large and small contradictions, so this future is the contradiction that governs the world, because in this world, there will never be a decree that has the best of both worlds, a decree goes down, Someone gets a benefit, someone will definitely lose, and you see this and your heart is angry. But when I saw this scene, I was a little angry, and more, but it was a sigh, because of the political difficulties, it is even more difficult to try to make such things less difficult. ”
