520 Decent Death
It took nearly two hours for hundreds of civil and military officials of the puppet court and 20,000 Xiaoguo troops to surrender; When everyone turned around Liaocheng, the flag had already changed at the head of the city.
Originally, the two armies fought, and the most bitter should be the people in the city, but when the Jiangdu army left, they plundered, and it was the team brought by Su You to pacify them.
The discipline of the Jiangdu Army and the Yunzhong Army can be distinguished at a glance.
Xue Wanche and Liu Heimin, as well as Fan Yuan, Su Lie and others were still outside the city to appease the 20,000 surrendered Jiangdu army, but Zhang Long escorted a hundred and ten civil and military officials to the official office in Liaocheng.
After the arrival of Jiang Dujun, this official office once became the mansion of Yu Wenhuahe, but in an instant, Yu Wenhuahe, who was the owner of the mansion yesterday, became a prisoner.
Everyone entered the mansion and waited for a while before they heard an order from the inside, and they were asked to meet them in the back garden.
The ministers were worried in their hearts, and they could only bite the bullet one after another.
At this time, it was midsummer, and the willows in the garden were still around, which was originally a good place to escape the heat, but when the ministers stepped into the garden, they saw a coffin in the middle from a distance.
Behind the coffin, there were three or five men and women, and behind them were a hundred and ten pro-soldiers.
The wind blows the willows, the white flowers fly, but with the addition of coffins and white flags everywhere, this originally sunny back garden has become eerie and terrifying.
Everyone approached step by step, and finally saw the three people in the garden, one of whom was Su You, and standing next to him were two women wearing yarns, one dressed as a woman, and the other was a monk.
If they have anything in common, it's that they are all dressed in filial piety.
The officials of the organic spirit point have already recalled what Xue Wanche said earlier, and one of them is naturally Princess Yuerong, the daughter of Yang Guang, but the protagonist here is none other than Su You.
There were still two feet away from the coffin, and the ministers were blocked by the oppressive atmosphere in front of them, and they all stopped involuntarily.
Su You glanced at everyone in front of him, and finally said slowly, "I didn't expect to meet you again in such a way, but I didn't have a trace of joy in my heart; I'm here today with Princess Yuerong and Humble Jing, and I want you to give me an explanation."
Su You's voice was very low, and the speed of speech was not too fast, but everyone had to listen to him carefully.
From Su You's words, they can also feel something, Su You said that he came with the princess, not to protect the princess, which can also be seen that he is no different from Yu Wenhua, they are all in the name of the royal family, bringing the Son of Heaven to order the princes.
Princess Yuerong and Su You's wife came to Yanbei at the same time, which means that Su You wants to settle the Jiangdu tragedy two months ago, as well as the deaths of Xiao Biluo, Yang Hao and Yang Zhengdao yesterday.
Su You watched everyone fall silent, and after being silent for a while, he finally asked again, "Who killed the emperor, and how did the queen die?" ”
The emperor and empress in Su You's mouth are Yang Guang and Xiao Biluo There is no doubt that the ministers did not understand the truth of the Jiangdu Palace change in detail that day, but they still looked at Yu Wenhua as a matter of course.
"Is that you?" Su You's eyes also looked at Yu Wenhua, and asked in an emotionless tone.
"I" Yu Wenhua and under the pressure of Su You, he no longer dared to call himself a lonely widow, but he had the intention of dying, so he said to himself, "You guessed right, Yang Guang was killed by me, Yang Hao was killed by me, and Xiao Biluo also died because of me; The reason why she died because of me was because I was with her the night before"
Before Yu Wenhua finished speaking, Yuan Li had already kicked him in the head, causing him to faint instantly.
"Good." Su You obviously guessed the reason why Yuan Li did this, and immediately nodded to him, and asked again, "General Yuan also participated in the Jiangdu Palace Rebellion at the beginning, right?" Who else but you? Who killed King Qi, and who killed my father-in-law's family? ”
Su You's voice became louder and louder, obviously about to declare a personal vendetta, and the ministers in front of him listened to his roar, and they all involuntarily retreated.
Yuan Li, Pei Qiantong, Ling Hu Xingda and others had no way to retreat, and naturally stood out in front of everyone; There is no doubt that they are the masterminds of the Jiangdu Palace Change.
More than ten generals, all of whom are currently high-ranking generals in the Jiangdu Army, facing them with faces like ashes, Su You nodded and asked, "Do you have anything to say?" ”
"Winning or losing, I don't have anything to say, I just regret that I have affected my family." Yuan Li replied a little weakly, he obviously wanted to ask Su You to let their family go, but he had to come to Yanbei first.
The families of Yuan Li and the others are innocent, do the people who come to the house have to die?
How to repay virtue with virtue?
Long before these people entered the back garden, Su You, Lai Yanbei, and Yang Suyan had already decided their life and death, but Su You didn't consider an important issue at the beginning, if he killed them all and then pursued their families, what would happen if Jiang Dujun mutinied?
After all, compared to the sins of the families of Yuan Li and others, the sins of Jiang Dujun who participated in the massacre of the relatives of hundreds of officials are even greater, but they are just tools of Yu Wenhua, Yuan Li and others.
Is it possible to trap and kill them?
With this thought, Su You's heart couldn't help but contradict himself, and then he turned his head to look at the two girls beside him, and asked, "Princess, Yanbei, what do you think?" ”
Lai Yanbei and Yang Suyan looked at each other, it stands to reason that there is no need to ask this question, but they still said naturally, "Everything is up to the husband (Mr.)." ”
Su You nodded, and said in a deep voice, "The generals who participated in the Jiangdu Palace Change, you can choose for yourself, I can promise that I will not pursue your family, and I will no longer pursue the soldiers who participated in this matter that day." As for Yu Wenhua and this mastermind, the three clans should be punished; Yuwen Zhiji, who escaped, must also die. ”
The "self-choice" in Su You's mouth is to let them commit suicide, which is to preserve their last decent practice.
During the Han Dynasty, many officials committed suicide, which reflects the respect of the law for officials, and also reflects that officials in that era retained their own bottom line and discipline. -- They choose to die with dignity, not to live in secret.
Su Youzhi's words ostensibly let them choose for themselves, but it also shows that they have only one choice, they can kill themselves now to keep their families, or they can resist and affect their families
In fact, when these generals who participated in the Jiangdu Palace Revolution learned who the two women standing next to Su You were, they had already thought of the final dead end, and their worries were naturally their families and clansmen.
But now, Su You has made a promise, so they can leave with peace of mind.
Yuan Li and the others took out their close-fitting daggers one by one and committed suicide in front of Xiao Biluo's coffin.
After Yu Wenhua heard Su You's words just now, he immediately fainted, and after he woke up quietly, the generals who discussed the palace change with him were dead.
Yu Wenhua has long had the consciousness of death, but he still has two sons in the Jiangdu army, Su You wants to punish his three clans, does he have to make the Yuwen clan extinct?
After waking up, Yu Wenhua didn't care about the corpses all over the ground, and finally shouted angrily again, "Su You, I won't let you go if I'm a ghost!" ”
Su You ignored him, but ordered loudly, "Come on, bring Yu Wenhua and this traitor down, and then send an order to arrest Yu Wenhua and the three clans, and ask for beheading outside the south gate at noon tomorrow!" ”
Yu Wenhua was taken down, and the generals who participated in the Jiangdu Palace Revolution also died one by one.
There was a smell of blood in the garden, which made many officials who had never seen bloodshed faint on the spot, and Lai Yanbei and Yang Suyan also temporarily left the murder scene like hell on earth.
Su You looked at the trembling civil and military officials in front of him, and finally spoke up again, "I have been the people of Sui for decades, and Sui is the second generation of my monarch." Jinyu culture and killing the monarch, the great rebellion, this I hate, this Sui Chen hate. The world is in turmoil, the avenue is unfair, since the king is still in Hebei, Yu Wenhua and sent to the door, I should ask for it for the public. ”
Listening to Su You's high-sounding words, everyone was ashamed, and they didn't know how to answer for a while.
Su You didn't care what they thought, and shouted, "Push it up!" ”
Everyone was at a loss, but they heard the sound of wheels rolling behind them; When they turned their heads to look secretly, they saw more than a dozen soldiers pushing two carts covered with white silk in, and then they involuntarily got out of the way.
The car gurgled and seemed to be extremely heavy, and everyone couldn't guess for a moment what kind of murder weapon it contained.
When Su You uncovered the white silk covering the car with his own hands, he saw that the car was shining golden in the sun, but it was full of gold ingots in the car.
"What is this?" Everyone suddenly thought about it in their hearts, and they couldn't guess what kind of medicine was sold in Su You's gourd for a while.
"I came to Liaocheng this time, just to avenge the revenge of the first emperor, and I never thought of being an enemy of you. If you are willing to continue to follow me to recover the great rivers and mountains of the previous dynasty, then I welcome it infinitely; If you want to leave and follow Wang Shichong in the Eastern Capital, or Li Yuan in Xijing, this is the entanglement I have prepared for you."
Su You's ruthless words suddenly shocked the ministers, just now he said that he would avenge Yang Guang, and now he starts to say "the previous dynasty", he doesn't even need to "coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes", but directly set up his own door?
In addition, everyone is also a little rebellious to Su You for giving them their own choice, and they always feel that it is not impossible to stay, but at least Su You should threaten it, or ask for it in a low voice, okay? What is this now? What the hell is Infinite Welcome?
Hey, human beings are so cheap, when they give him the greatest freedom, they choose to be abused.
As if knowing what everyone was thinking, Su You continued, "I also know that the princes will not take this bit of wealth in their eyes, this is just for me to express my heart." Don't worry, whether you choose to go to Xijing or Dongdu, or to the grassland, I will send troops to take you to safety."
The ministers were immediately stunned, and their hearts were confused.
Su You, what's wrong? Is this the rhythm that is going to drive us away?
