"Dangchang!" The iron door closed, and Pei Yan, who was sitting upright, raised his head and said, "Liu Gong, Hu Gong, why did you come, where can you come to this place?" ”

Liu Jingxian looked around the cell, only to see that the walls were peeling off, a pile of grass was spread on the brick floor, Pei Yan was wearing prison clothes, sitting on the grass, and there was a dung bucket in the corner, and the smell was unpleasant. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The dignified prime minister has fallen to this! Fortunately, he was not punished.

He felt sour in his heart, and he and Hu Yuanfan both sat down on the grass pile and said, "Pei Xianggong, you have suffered!" ”

Although he suffered, Pei Yan's bearing did not decrease, and he said with a smile: "The body is hard, the heart is not bitter, it doesn't matter." ”

The three of them said a few words, Liu Jingxian also talked to Hu Yuanfan about the affairs of the court, saying that many people advised them, and they also went to see the queen mother, but ......

"Ahem!" Liu Jingxian coughed lightly and said: "Pei Xianggong, we are trying to exonerate you, as long as you give the Queen Mother a step down......"

"Do you want me to plead guilty?" Pei Yan suddenly changed color and said, "I'm not guilty!" ”

The two of them talked badly, Pei Yan stiffened his neck and said, "Don't think about it!" ”

"Rebellion, the crime of the Nine Clans, you don't think about you, you have to think about your family!" Liu Jingxian said urgently.

"The prime minister is in prison, and An is lucky!" Pei Yan's eyes are firm and authentic, and he is grand!

Liu Jingxian and Hu Yuanfan couldn't persuade them, so they left in tears.

Because he couldn't get a guilty plea, Wei Xi did not launch a rescue.

The imperial court acted quickly, and the imperial historian Qian Yedao announced Pei Yan's charges as follows:

Yan's nephew Xue Zhongzhang is a dedicated comrade;

Uncle Cheng of the nephew temple was seventeen years old, and he saw the queen mother on the seal, and reprimanded the queen mother for taking over the government, changing the heirs, reprimanding the Li family, and worshipping Zhuwu, and Yan was loyal to the community, and accused him of crime and killed his descendants. persuade the queen mother to return to the government as soon as possible to protect the clan.

Bo Xian rebelled and set up an edict, which was the instigation of Yanzhi!

Pei Yanjin is the Marquis of Hedong County, and he planned to take advantage of the Queen Mother's visit to Longmen, hijacked by force, and forced the Queen Mother to return to power.

Before the rebellion of Xu Jingye in Yangzhou, there was a nursery rhyme in Luoyang: "One fire, two pieces of fire, the scarlet clothes are sitting in the palace", which means "two pieces of fire are the word fire, the scarlet clothes are a Pei word, the child is a sub-word, when the hall sits on the Changlong, it is a long word, which means that Pei Zilong (Pei Yan's word) is destined to be the emperor."

This nursery rhyme is Pei Yan's public opinion offensive before he wants to rebel, and his heart can be punished!

When Xu Jingye raised troops, Pei Yan wrote a letter to Xu Jingye, but was intercepted by the imperial court, and the letter only had the word "green goose", which means "the green word can be split into December, and the goose is my self", which means that Pei Yan said that he would do internal response in the city in December!

De, Pei Yan rebelled, the evidence of the crime was conclusive, and after the trial of the three halls of Yushitai, Dali Temple, and the Criminal Department, the collegial verdict: "The crime should be punished!" Zhu Jiu Clan! ”

When the verdict was announced, Wu Zetian approved it, but the gift only punished Pei Yan alone, and his family was exiled.

In less than ten days, Pei Yan was beheaded in Luoyang Dutingyi, confiscated his family property, and found that his family wealth was very small.

……

Pei Yan fell, and the aftermath continued, affecting everyone.

When Liu Jingxian and Hu Yuanfan were still reluctant to cherish Pei Yan, Yu Linjun rushed to their official office, showed the will of the Queen Mother, and took them into prison.

Seeing the presiding judge, Yu Shi Dafu Qian Yedao, Liu Jingxian asked, "What crime have we committed?" ”

Qian Ye Dao said calmly: "The Queen Mother said that you admitted in public that you had rebelled in front of the Holy Driver, so I came to arrest you!" ”

Liu Jingxian: "I'll ****** it!" ”

Hu Yuanfan: "I'm ******!" ”

Perverted woman! God/Sutra/Sickness!

Soon, Liu Jingxian resigned as prime minister and became the governor of Jizhou, and Hu Yuanfan was exiled to Qiongzhou (Hainan). In addition to them, there are also many unlucky officials, who either move to the left or do not leave.

And among the military attachés, there are also two people who are unlucky because they intercede with Pei Yan, one is Jiang Yan led by Zuo Wei, and the other is Cheng Wuting, the general of Zuo Xiao's cavalry guard.

Jiang Yan, a native of Yixing, Changzhou, was admitted to the Ming Classics, was born as a Jinshi, but participated in the right guard Cao joined the army, Taizong sent an envoy to Goguryeo, was imprisoned, did not give in, Goguryeo was put back when it was pacified, and then tired officials to the general of the right guard, Yixing County, retired in the second year of Yonglong (681), and was rehired as a servant in the second year, and was reappointed as the deputy head of the prince's left guard.

When Li Xian, Zhongzong of the Tang Dynasty, was the crown prince, Jiang Yan repeatedly advised the prince to be negligent, and when Pei Yan was executed, Jiang Yan wrote a letter to avenge Pei Yan's grievances.

Empress Wu forced him to kill him on the grounds that he was old and confused.

But Cheng Wuting is different!

When he was young, he followed his father Cheng Mingzhen to fight, known for his courage and strength, once attacked the Turks, attacked Ashina Funian, forced him to surrender, last year and pacified Bai Tieyu's rebellion, attacked the Turks, and this year he participated in the plot to kill Zhongzong Meritorious, fight the Turks, break the Khitan, outstanding achievements, great influence in the army.

He wrote to Pei Yan to complain, wanting to go against the court?

Originally, this matter was nothing, Jiang Yan let it go, and it was nothing to let one more Cheng Wuting go.

When Wu Zetian was thinking about how to deal with him, the superintendent Cui Jing said: "Cheng Wuting has a good relationship with the traitors Tang Zhiqi and Du Qiuren, and he secretly colluded with Pei Yan and Xu Jingye to plot crimes!" ”

It's tolerable Guo can't bear it, Wenchen can still be spared, and the military generals hold the military power, if they rebel, they will have to do it!

After receiving the secret report, Wu Zetian immediately sent the current Zuo Teng general Pei Shaoye to the Zuo Xiao Cavalry Guard Office to take Cheng Wuting, behead him on the spot, and punish him of the nine clans!

……

On the morning of December 26, the Yulin Army of the Brigade surrounded the Zuo Xiao Cavalry Guard Office, and the Zuo Xiao Cavalry Guard was also the Son of Heaven's pro-army, who dared to be so bold?

"Do things according to the order of the Queen Mother, and you must not move!" The Yulin Army roared, according to the order, everyone must not move.

In the official office, Zuo Xiao's cavalry guard general Cheng Wuting, general Cheng Boxi and a cadre of generals were all inside, they were summoned to listen to the order, and soon saw Pei Shaoye, who was tall and had a horse face, holding up the holy decree and coming, and said with a gloomy face: "The queen mother has a decree, Cheng Wuting accepts the decree!" ”

Cheng Wuting and all the generals knelt down to listen to Ruyi, and listened to Pei Shaoye's loud recitation: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Cheng Wu, the general of the Zuo Xiao Cavalry Guard, stepped forward to accept the emperor's favor and was entrusted with a heavy responsibility, but he disregarded the favor in vain, colluded with the traitor Xu Jingye, and tried to commit the crime, and the evidence of the crime is conclusive......"

This charge of rebellion was suppressed, and immediately everyone in Zuo Xiao's cavalry guard was sweating.

The chief officer has fallen, and the subordinate officials don't know how many people will be unlucky!

“…… This real crime is unforgivable, and the general Pei Shaoye of Zuo Teng beheaded the sinner Cheng Wuting, raided his home, and punished the nine clans to show the world, admiring this! ”

"What?" Everyone was stunned.

"Sinners Cheng Wei is very obedient!" Pei Shaoye's eyes showed a fierce light, and a group of sergeants behind him were also eyeing him.

Cheng Wuting's mouth was extremely bitter, and he said categorically: "Cheng Wuting takes the order!" ”

Pei Shaoye waved his hand, and immediately several sergeants rushed forward and took out ropes to tie up Cheng Wuting.

Cheng Boxi, who was under Cheng Wu's head, took a deep breath, stood up without Pei Shaoye's permission and said, "Wait!" ”
