Chapter 19, the bloodbath in the capital
The court room of the Han Imperial Palace
"Brother He, the Liaodong army is divided into three routes, all the way to eliminate the forbidden army, all the way to surround the mansions of the people on the list, all the way to enter the Beijing camp, if there is a rebel, there will be no forgiveness! Duan Xiang, my brother is resting in the palace, I don't want anyone or anything to disturb him, he needs to rest well, and His Royal Highness King Yan will have an enthronement ceremony after a while. Do you understand the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Duan Xiang? Helping He Kegang up, Meng Qiu handed him a piece of paper and gave him a few words, and then stared at Duan Hui who was kneeling on the ground with a cold face and said.
He Kegang didn't say much, in the past few years, he had already become a descendant of King Yan because of King Yan's righteous words and Meng Qiu's deliberate intersection, so he left with a nod. And Duan Hui fell to his knees, and he didn't dare to breathe, so he stayed quietly.
Duan Hui heard about the riot in the palace last night through his own channels, and originally he wanted to mobilize his strength in the capital to fish in troubled waters and obtain greater benefits. As a result, Meng Qiu led the Tiger Roar Battalion to destroy the Prince's Mansion in a battle, just like a basin of cold water poured on his head, completely dispelling all his crooked thoughts. Such a strong force, coupled with the Liaodong army that came to the capital with ease later, made Duan Hui instantly understand the huge gap between himself and King Yan.
Compared to such a giant who can mobilize so many elite troops and the throat of the capital fortress in such a short time, he is like an ant. At that moment, Duan Hui realized how ridiculous he was before, but he had mastered a group of civilian forces, so he arrogantly thought how powerful he was, and thought that he could control the world. As a result, in the face of Meng Qiu's absolute power, all the power and conspiracy became false, and the civilian power in Duan Hui's hands could only help him save his life.
As a literati who has read the poetry and books of sages since he was a child, and even a bit of a nerd, Duan Hui actually hopes to govern the country with the way of sages from the bottom of his heart. At this moment, this deep thought in his bones once again affected Duan Hui, he did not choose to use the chips in his hand as a tool to gain greater power, nor did he plan to defect to the barbarians, but directly found Meng Qiu to ask for guilt.
After patiently listening to Meng Qiu's instructions, Duan Hui took out two letters from his sleeve and handed them to Meng Qiu, who was stunned and reached out to catch them. Looking at Meng Qiu with a puzzled face, a trace of surprise and remorse flashed in Duan Hui's eyes, three years ago, this kid was still a powerless little eunuch, because King Yan made a mistake and was caught by himself, he visited his mansion at night, and wanted to let King Yan go.
"If I knew that this kid was so capable, I would have to accept him as a righteous son! Otherwise, there is no need to return to the old man today. With a self-deprecating smile, Duan Hui was much relieved, slowly stood up, and stomped in front of Meng Qiu with his hands behind his back.
"The Prime Minister plans to give up everything and return to his hometown? Why? You have a lot of chips in your hand, and you can't help but fight back. If you take refuge in the barbarians, there will be endless glory and wealth, wine and beauty, maybe the barbarians will destroy the Han Dynasty, and you can still be crowned a king with a different surname? After a long time, Meng Qiu closed the fold and asked gently with a smile.
"Hahaha! Little Bunny! After so many years, it is still the most comfortable for you, the old man has read the poetry and books of sages, and he originally had the ambition of helping the world and saving the people. As a result, after becoming an official in the court, he slowly became black, his heart was black, and his heart was black, and he also self-anesthetized and told himself that he was forming a party for personal gain, corruption and fraud in order to better govern the country, and in the end he didn't know what he really wanted! To tell you the truth, the old man wanted to mobilize his friends to launch a rebellion last night to obtain greater benefits, but he was frightened by your huge power. At that moment, the old man figured out, what is the old man in this life? The ancestors said: There are thousands of mansions, and it only takes six feet to sleep at night; The family has a lot of money, and the eclipse is no more than three meals. What's the use of me coveting so much fame and fortune? With a long laugh, Duan Hui found a chair to sit down and said easily.
"So the old man decided to let go, whether to kill the old man or not is between you and His Majesty Xuanhuang, the old man only begs you to let the old man's family go for the sake of the old man's party henchmen and the plate. My eldest son is actually very opposed to what the old man did, and has always wanted to join the army to protect his family and defend the country. I hope you can help him realize his wish, thank you here! With that, Duan Hui stood up and saluted with both hands.
Looking at Duan Hui in front of him, Meng Qiu slowly frowned, the biggest enemy in his eyes was Duan Hui, this person is not only scheming, proficient in political struggle, power and strategy, but also has countless henchmen inside and outside, from the six departments of the imperial court to the local county orders, with a large number of protégés and henchmen. These people are attached to Duan Hui's wings, and they are an extremely large and terrible force, and if they are not handled properly and are not careful, they can easily cause nationwide riots and disasters.
In Meng Qiu's plan, even if Duan Hui is to be removed, it will take a long time to do it and do it well. He had already thought of a plan to appease Duan Hui first and give him generous treatment and high-ranking officials, but he never expected that the latter would take the initiative to ask for guilt, give everything and tell everything, and make himself into meat on the chopping block, and let Meng Qiu slaughter him.
"Prime Minister, many people will die in the capital today! These people are innocent! Do you understand? After a long time, Meng Qiu sighed and said to Duan Hui in a gentle tone.
"Some people can't be killed, it's better to be appeased, not everyone can see it as well as the old man!" Hearing this, Duan Hui raised his head and shouted anxiously.
"Haha, don't worry, old man, you will definitely become the best prime minister of Dahan. But these moths, you still have to listen to me, what are you afraid of when you slaughter them! Smiling slightly, Meng Qiu stepped forward to help Duan Hui and said.
On the eighth day of the fourth month of the first year of the Holy Emperor of the Han Dynasty, the history is called: the rebellion of the capital, also known as the "forbidden army coup", and the folk call it "the day of the king of Yama", on this day, a total of 129,873 people in the capital, including the ministers of the court, the noble family, and the rebel soldiers, were beheaded on the spot, 50,000 were exiled, and nearly 200,000 were punished.
Eighteen powerful and profound mansions and families in the capital, including the prince, the White Turtle family, and the Zhao Hui family, who participated in the rebellion, were punished by beheading all the houses and exterminating their families.
Hundreds of officials of Duan Hui's henchmen, including the six ministries of the imperial court, were arrested, and more than half of them were sentenced to five horses for participating in corruption and fraud, and leading barbarians into the court. All the family property was confiscated and confiscated into the state treasury, and his family members were sentenced to severity in accordance with the criminal law they had committed, and the worst case was beheaded, and the lighter case was exiled to Lingnan, and he was not allowed to enter Beijing for the rest of his life......
Seven days later
"Phew, after a busy few days, I finally cleaned up, my brother's injuries are fine, it's time to hold the enthronement ceremony!" Facing the morning sun, Meng Qiu stretched his waist and said easily.
"Little bunny! You're embarrassed to say it! The old man wants to pay tribute to the old man and return to his hometown! It's not about continuing to be prime minister! You're embarrassed to pull the old man and manage state affairs with you all day long! Even if His Majesty allows you to do this, why are you looking for an old man?! The old man is a big corrupt official and a powerful minister, you should arrest me, or drive me out of the capital as soon as possible, how far and as far as you can! Duan Hui, who was on the side of the words, blew his beard and glared, and shouted loudly, the old man was completely angry, isn't the script written like this!
"Hehe, don't be impatient, don't be impatient, this is not because Your Majesty thinks that you are loyal and patriotic, enthusiastic and enthusiastic, and you are an indispensable minister of the Han Dynasty! That's why I let the boy and Big Brother He assist you in completing the most difficult and difficult work, aren't we all for the grandson, great-grandson, and great-grandson! You don't want to have a son in the future without PI eyes, right? MENG QIU LEANED IN WITH A SMILE ON HIS FACE AND SAID.
He Kegang on the side covered his face with his hands, his face was helpless and speechless, he now knew that the kid in front of him was not a eunuch at all, and he claimed to be nine thousand years old all day long, and the same was true in front of the new emperor. His Majesty the Emperor didn't think he was angry, but kept laughing and scolding him, which made a brainless person like He Kegang who could only lead troops to fight very crazy.
"What about the bloody washing of the capital? It's a madman in the capital! Whispered helplessly, He Kegang doubted that he would become a madman after staying with a madman like Meng Qiu for a long time.
"Boy! Are you a eunuch or not, the prime minister suspects that you have not been castrated at all! ”
"Am I too much in charge of you? Oh! Duan Xiang, you won't have a habit of breaking your sleeves in Longyang! Brother He, help! ”
"What did you say, bastard?! The old man is full of righteousness today, and he must kill you bastard! ”
"Brother He, help! Call 110! ”
"What is 110? Don't come here, don't infect me with your madness! ”
