Chapter Twenty-Nine: I'd rather kill mistakes than let them go
(I found that the title of this book "The World Played Bad by Them" is not very popular with history book lovers, so that the clicks are dismal, and the other books recommended in the same period have more than two or three times the click rate of this book, so I plan to change the title of the book, and initially consider using one of the two titles, "The Broken Tang Dynasty" or "The 50th Traverser", of course, if you have better suggestions, please leave a message in the book review area.)

In addition, because I want to change the title of the book, there will be some minor changes in the previous chapters, and for readers who have followed here, I will briefly talk about the general changes in the previous article here:
1. Set that every 60 years there will be a time-traveler in this world, and the specific month is uncertain, but it is a full moon night.
2. The current emperor of the Tang Dynasty was not the third, but the seventh.
3. The content of Shang Tao and Ye Maoyan, as well as the conversation with Konka about the traverser, will also be modified according to the above settings. )

Kang Di ate and drank to his heart's content, picked up the towel on the table, wiped his mouth, and then wiped his hands, and then said: "Nephew Shangxian, you are new to the city, and you may not understand what your identity as a traverser means to the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. You must know that in the past 3,000 years, the emperors of all dynasties have not guarded the grassland hunting tribes in the north, the barbarians in the south, or the savages in the Western Regions. ”
"For the attitude of the traverser, for three thousand years, the emperors of all dynasties have adopted the same strategy, that is, what can be used by the royal family, they are placed under house arrest in a well-guarded secret small courtyard, and good food and drink are offered, although there is no shortage of food and drink women or anything, but don't want to get out of that small courtyard alive. Even so, there is hardly even a traverser who can live a good life, and when the emperor feels that you have no value in living, it is your death. ”
Shang Tao asked suspiciously: "Could it be that in the past three thousand years, there has not even been a traverser who has been reused by the emperor?" ”
"Nope!" Kang Di shook his head slowly and continued: "And for those traversers who can't be used by the royal family, the emperors of all dynasties have always pursued and killed them to the end at all costs, and the emperor's attitude towards traversers is: I'd rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one!" ”
"About 2,000 years ago, another traverser finally seized the country, and it was he who discovered a pattern, that is, the traverser will appear once every 60 years, and then from then on, there will be a large number of arrests every 60 years, and those who are arrested are either talented or black households who can't get a household registration certificate."
Shang Tao shuddered when he heard this, and couldn't help but interject and ask: "Those who have been arrested, if they find out that they are not traversers, will they still be put back?" ”
Kang Di replied: "Before the Tang Dynasty, although the emperors of all dynasties showed no mercy to the traverser, they would still let go if they were found to be not traversers. ”
Shang Tao asked: "Could it be that when you arrived in the Tang Dynasty, you will kill all of them who are caught?" ”
"Anyway, those who were arrested, since they were caught, have never appeared again, as for where they went, whether they are still alive, no one knows."
"That's too ruthless!" Shang Tao couldn't help but secretly speak.
"Yes, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty will do this, that is to learn the lesson of our Kang Dynasty."
"Oh, Uncle Kang, what else is the secret here?" Shang Tao asked curiously.
"Sort of, twenty years after our third emperor of the Kang Dynasty, Kang Gaozong, ascended the throne, it happens to be the sixtieth year after Kang Gaozu, the founding emperor of the Kang Dynasty, crossed into this world."
"So that year, the Kang Dynasty arrested a large number of people across the country, a total of tens of thousands of people were arrested, and many people died unjustly, but the real traverser, although he was also arrested because he did not have a household registration certificate, but he finally survived the harsh interrogation, and finally due to insufficient evidence, he was denounced as a slave and put into the government-run kiln."
"Wait, when you say harsh interrogation, do you mean torture to extract confessions? In this case, aren't you afraid that those who are put back will hold a grudge against the imperial court? Aren't you afraid that they will spread the content of the interrogation related to the traverser? ”
Kang Di replied: "What you said is naturally taken into account, so the common use is a continuous and uninterrupted fatigue interrogation method, that is, not to let them sleep, and repeatedly ask some questions such as 'who are you', 'where are you from', 'what do you do', 'what dynasty is Li Shimin from', etc., so those who rule out suspicion are not worried about how much they will hate the court after being released, and it is even more impossible to expose things related to the traverser." ”
"Well, you go on."
"Then the traverser escaped from the kiln, and later he used a fire gun filled with a clairvoyant mirror to kill Kang Gaozong and his successor Kang Zhongzong in succession within three months."
Shang Tao suddenly realized: "So, decades later, the Tang Dynasty unified the country and implemented a cruel policy of preferring to kill the traverser and not let it go?" ”
"Yes, sixty years ago, the fourth generation of emperors of the Tang Dynasty did this, and this year is the one hundred and twentieth year that the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty traveled to this world."
Ye Maoyan suddenly realized: "It turns out that there is such a thing, I said that in the past six months or so, how can the inventory of entering and leaving the city in Diezhang City be stricter than in previous years, unless there is a murder in the city in previous years, it is usually only necessary to pay the entrance fee in and out of the city." However, since the beginning of winter last year, now when entering and leaving the city, the people of the Tang Dynasty must show a household registration certificate, and non-Tang people must also register their identity characteristics to apply for temporary passports. ”
Kang Di said: "Shang Xian's nephew, you also happened to cross to this prairie, and you just happened to meet our Kang family, you must know that the people know very little about the traverser, but they have been misled a lot. If you don't believe me, you can ask Brother Ye Xian what kind of understanding he had about the traverser before he met you. ”
Ye Maoyan took over and said: "Before I met Shang Xian's nephew, I had heard a lot of rumors about the traverser, and even bought a book called "In-depth Interpretation of the Traverser", which recorded as many as 253 traversers in the book "In-depth Interpretation of the Traverser", most of whom were not a generation of famous generals of a certain dynasty, or the prime minister of a certain dynasty, Shangshu and other officials, and the most unfortunate were extraordinary figures who had made certain achievements in a certain field. ”
Kang Di explained: "In fact, there are many books of this type, most of which were secretly printed by the imperial courts of previous dynasties, and the purpose is naturally to induce real traversers to fall into the net. ”
"In addition, one of the major characteristics of these books is that the people who record them are three points true and seven points false, true and false, and confusing, so it is easier to win people's trust."
Kang Di changed his words as he spoke, stared at Shang Tao's eyes and said, "Nephew Shang Xian, how serious the situation in Datang is right now, I guess you also have a general understanding in your heart, do you plan to go to Diezhang City with Brother Ye Xian and them tomorrow?" First of all, it is a big trouble for you to not have a household registration certificate, and secondly, your skin color, temperament, and even the look in your eyes are incompatible with the people of the steppe tribes, do you think you can obtain a temporary passport through the examination? ”
"Uh...... Since the inventory is so strict, I think it's better to forget it for the time being. Shang Tao felt that compared to his own life, it was not important at all to go to Diezhang City to play, visit the Qinglou or something.
After successfully convincing Shang Tao to dispel the idea of going to Diezhang City to play, Kang Di turned to Ye Maoyan and asked, "Brother Ye Xian, after you bring someone back to Diezhang City tomorrow, if a secret agent comes to interrogate you, what will you say?" ”
"This, I just said that after being rescued, the iron-hulled car that saved us left directly, and we didn't even have time to thank it."
"Well, just like that, you must remember that you must insist that you have not intersected with the person who saved you even a word, otherwise not only you, but also your entire Ye family, will get into great trouble, I think you should be able to realize the power of this."
……
After finishing the conversation, Shang Tao got up and saw off Kang Di and Ye Maoyan. Shang Tao returned to the house, and found that Konka, who went back to the house first, was not in the hall, the door of the west wing was closed, it seemed that she had already returned to the room, Shang Tao walked to the door of the west wing, reached out and knocked on the door, and asked, "Miss Kang, have you rested so early?" ”
"Ah, yes, I'm a little tired today, so I want to go to bed early." Soon, Konka's voice came from behind the door.
"Oh, I can't sleep and I want to talk to you for a while, so well, good night." With that, Shang Tao turned around and went back to his bedroom.
Konka in the room, standing behind the door at the moment, she opened her mouth, and finally didn't say anything, she wanted to chat with her Shang Gongzi brother, but she was even more afraid of being alone with her Shang Gongzi brother so late.
At this moment, in Kang Di's yurt, Kang Di was whispering to one of his subordinates: "You immediately quietly pull all the two hundred people away, and rush to the road one hundred miles away from Diezhang Pass overnight to ambush them, Ye Maoyan and them, a total of fifty-seven people, will set off tomorrow morning to return to Diezhang Pass, you must leave all of them on the grassland, and none of them can escape." Saying that, Kang Di made a gesture to wipe his neck, and then solemnly added: "This matter is very important, and there must be no mistakes." ”
"Yes! Your Majesty, should I bring more men, there are still nearly a hundred good men available on the princess's side. The subordinate cautiously proposed.
"No, Ye Maoyan and they have only a few dozen people, and a small number of them are injured, can't you deal with two hundred people? Remember, no one can say anything about this matter, including Jiajia and her three brothers, and she can't let Shang Gongzi know. Make sure to explain to your men that this is going to leave them all rotting in their stomachs. ”
"Yes!"
"Go ahead, be careful."
At this moment, in Ye Maoyan's yurt next door to Shang Tao, Ye Maoyan was pacing back and forth irritably, and he had a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart.
