Chapter 245: Sin Deserves It
The righteous uphold justice
The emperor beheaded and died
The planning is quite thorough.
The time is set for the last day of this month, February 29, on the morning of this day, Wu Xi will go to the Taimiao Temple to worship his ancestors. Move in the wee hours of the morning.
In advance, Yang Juyuan forged a holy decree and stamped the seal of Hejiang Cang, so that even if the matter was revealed, it would have nothing to do with An Quan.
Yang Juyuan was responsible for conveying the holy decree, and his group partly pretended to be guards, and partly surrounded Wu Xi's dormitory; Li Haoyi went straight to the dormitory, killed the resisting pseudo-palace guards, caught Wu Xi and killed him directly, and chopped off his head.
After success, An Quan entered the palace and read the holy decree to the pseudo-Shu civil and military officials in the main hall, and the Chinese army surrounded the palace hall with 1,000 officers and soldiers.
From the day of the plan, everyone stopped moving and connecting in tandem, and pretended to be nothing, and gathered in two places the day before the event.
After becoming the king of Shu who thinks about the moon and the moon, Wu Xi realized that this kind of lonely life is not easy. In the past, as an official of the Great Song Dynasty, although he was not the supreme leader of the Sichuan-Shaanxi region, he held an army of 60,000 troops, and in the land where the Wu family had been entrenched for 80 years, he wanted the wind to be windy, and it was to rain and rain, even if there was anything wrong, the sky was high and the emperor was far away, and the court would open one eye and close one eye, that is, the so-called top boss Cheng Song would not let out a fart, compared with the successive Lizhou West Road pacification envoys and Xingzhou capital commanders, his term of office was the most powerful, and he could control the consulate general in the name of the Sichuan pacification deputy envoy, so as to obtain control over the financial endowmentHe also has one of the most powerful powers, that is, to act cheaply, and these words are too powerful, and he can freely dispose of all kinds of affairs without prior instructions, which is unique to the whole country.
Thinking of these, he suddenly felt that this Han Pingzhang was indeed benevolent to him, and almost everything he could do for him was done, and he himself, not only did not capture a city, but instead gave away Sizhou, in exchange for a black yarn of the king of Shu.
What does this black veil bring him? Long live the emperor's ninety-five honor and the ministers' mountain call, as well as inner satisfaction. What else is there besides these vanities? Endless precautions and worries. Suddenly changed the court, many people are still not adaptable, many scholars still hold the idea of loyalty to the king, oppose the attachment of gold, and claim that it is a great rebellion, which is to deceive the king and forget his ancestors. This king does not matter, but puts himself on the stove to bake. Except for his brothers, nephews and a few intimate ones, how many people really support it, and how many people are waiting for the opportunity to fight back, he really doesn't count.
Everyone is selfish, and after satisfying food and clothing, they want profit, fame and women, and other than that, they have nothing to do with themselves. became the king of Shu, he was worried all day long, and he had to open one eye when he slept. Even if the Xingzhou soldiers are fine, the generals of the Xingyuan Mansion and the Jinzhou Division, as well as other officials at all levels of roads, states, and counties, are there no problems? After the seemingly respectful smiling faces, who knows if it will be a murderous butcher's knife.
For thirty days, he was on guard everywhere, always on the alert, and the news of his worries came from all directions. Some people reported that Yang Zhen, the new governor of Xingyuan Prefecture, was dissatisfied and attacked the Wu family, and others reported that Xie Yuanming, the pacification of Chengdu Fulu, wanted to organize a rebellion, and they all tried to resolve it one by one. Also, there is a group of scholars in Meizhou who went to the government to demonstrate and protest, opposing the gold attachment and shaving their hair, and let people check it, it was a leader named Cheng Mengxi; More than 100 students in Luzhou marched on the streets, shouting that they were traitors and traitors to kill Wu Xi, who were the ghosts of the former transfer envoy Hu Peng.
Going home every day, eating with his wife and children, and doing some housework is rare for Yang Juyuan. His wife Jiang asked with some surprise: His child's father, why hasn't he gone out these days, and no one has come, is it that a big thing is not done?
Yang Juyuan asked rhetorically, isn't this good? What big things do you know?
Don't look at me, I don't go out of the gate, I don't step out of the second door, I know a little bit, isn't it that Wu Dashuai became the emperor, everyone is not satisfied, and they want to drive him down.
Then you say, should this Wu Dashuai step down?
should step down, one, he has no eyes, our family is both talented and moral, but he just doesn't need to, let you see the warehouse, two, a good Song official is inappropriate, he just takes refuge in the gold thief, doesn't be a man and a dog, and doesn't let him step down.
Wife, you're really not simple, and you know a lot.
I'm just worried, if something goes wrong and I can't bring down Wu Dashuai, it will be terrible, will I be arrested and imprisoned.
Don't worry, Wu Dashuai is unpopular, and we will respond to every call and ask him to step down.
The child's father, I'm still not at ease, it's too dangerous, or forget it, you just take care of the warehouse, the official is a little smaller, but the family is safe and peaceful, and harmonious, it's good, don't take this risk.
Well, our brothers are heroic and will succeed in one fell swoop.
Okay, shall I make a request?
Tell me, I'll listen.
You will become a big official in the future, but don't marry a little wife, I don't want to be angry with a man and a little girl.
Yang Juyuan smiled, where do you think of this, I don't know what official I can be, is it interesting to say this.
Who of you men wouldn't want to marry two fancy wives? Do you dare to say you don't want to?
However, we are not unreasonable, when the time comes, I will find you a good-looking little girl, as long as people are willing, I don't care how you get it, as long as you don't have children.
On February 28, Li Gui, Li Biao, Huang Shu, Yang Junyu, Lu Qi and other 74 people and scholars Lu Liangbi and Wang Fu gathered in Li Mansion. Li Haoyi invited all the brothers to drink and wear armor. Then, Li Haoyi and Hao Gu, Hao Ren and other brothers went to the family temple to worship the secret.
He said to his wife Ma: "At sunrise, there is no news from the palace, indicating that we have failed in the uprising, you can remarry on your own, and the fate of our husband and wife ends here." ”
Ma Shi looked angry: "What are you talking about?" You kill thieves for the court, don't I even care about my family, just think about myself? Rest assured, I know how to do it,
will never disgrace the Li family. ”
The mother-in-law also said, "Okay, be careful yourself! You brothers are heroes, and even if you die, it's amazing. ”
Li Haoyi said excitedly: "Women know that they don't care about their lives and think about the court, what should we do?" All the brothers said in unison: kill the enemy and serve the country.
In early spring February, the temperature in the early morning was very low, the sky was dark, Yang Juyuan rode a horse, Li Haoyi led the team, and one hundred and twenty warriors entered the palace of the puppet Shu king. On the way, he encountered a team of patrol sentinels, Yang Juyuan showed the holy decree in his hand, and shouted in his mouth: "We are ordered by the emperor to urgently edict the king of Shu, and all irrelevant people will be returned, and those who violate the order will be killed." ”
The group went straight to Wu Xi's palace, Huangmen and the guards stopped them, and Yang Juyuan recited aloud: "We will follow the edict of the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty to arrest the traitor Wu Xi, and those who resist the decree will be exterminated!" ”
Two of the guards were about to draw their swords when they were cut to the ground. Seeing this, the others laid down their weapons and stood aside. The door of the palace was closed, and Yang Juyuan commanded to chop with an axe.
Wu Xi, who was sleeping, heard the movement, knew that it was the army mutiny, wearing underwear, and was about to jump out when he opened the window, Li Gui rushed forward, pulled him down, saw Wu Xi fall to the ground, grabbed Wu Xi's hair, raised a knife and cut it, but Wu Xi's body was biased, only the left shoulder was cut, Wu Xi reflexively pounced on Li Gui, the two tore up, Li Haoyi stepped forward and kicked a foot, Wu Xi fell, Huang Shu took the axe and fell, and cut two axes to Wu Xi's waist, Wu Xi then let go of Li Gui in pain, Li Gui slashed at Wu Xi's neck, Seeing blood gushing out, Wu Xi curled up on the ground, and made up for it, and Wu Xi separated.
At dawn, An Quan arrived on horseback and sent Li Haoyi to capture Wu Xi's cronies and associates. Soon, Wu Xi's two sons, the sixth uncle Wu Fu, the younger brother Wu Xin, and the cronies Yao Huaiyuan, Li Qi, Mi Xiuzhi, Guo Cheng and others were captured and killed on the spot, Wu Duan was cut in two in his sleep, and Wu Xi's generals Zhao Fu, Wu Xiao, Dong Zhen, Guo Rong, Lu Xi, etc., were also corrected on the spot. The head of the thief leader Wu Xi was put into a box and sent to Lin'an.
Wu Xi, who had been the king of Shu for 41 days, met the king of Hades, and he was just 46 years old this year.
