Chapter 1227: The Heart of the People
When Ashina Chengqing was tied up by the servant Gudang without saying a word and was brought to the high platform of execution, and knelt side by side with Yan Zhuang and noble, he only felt that he wanted to cry without tears. Shi Siming used to think that these literati would only play lip service and look down on him, especially because he was born in a different race but was not known for martial arts, but liked to play tricks and tricks. Among the four strategists around An Lushan, the only one who was slightly respected by Shi Siming was Zhang Tongru, but it was not for Zhang Tongru's own sake, but for his grandfather, Zhang Renyuan, who was famous for building three surrendered cities in Shuofang.
And the reason why he had no choice but to return to Youzhou this time, and wanted to try his luck here with Du Shiyi, was precisely because when he was evacuated from Luoyang, Zhang Tongru did not follow the army, but only brought his henchmen and his entourage, and they fled back to Youzhou step by step
Ashina Chengqing still wanted to shout something, but he didn't want to suddenly hear a tug on his scalp, it was Fu Gudang who lifted his head and made him look up, and then another rag was stuffed into his mouth. At this moment, he, like Yan Zhuang, couldn't make any sound anymore. Seeing Yan Zhuang looking at him, his face was full of schadenfreude, he couldn't help but be so angry that he couldn't help but smoke and returned an extremely fierce look.
What are you laughing at, it's not like you're dying with me today
Although there were some open and secret battles in the past, Yan Zhuang immediately understood Ashina Chengqing's eyes at this time, and his heart was miserable. If it weren't for Li Linfu's control of the imperial examination and his words, he would have achieved nothing, how could he have been conquered by An Lushan? If it weren't for Yang Guozhong's efforts to suppress An Lushan after he took power, how could he follow An Lushan all the way to the black? And if it weren't for An Lushan's moodiness after raising the army, and whipping them at every turn, how could he incite An Qingxu to use such ruthless means to get rid of An Lushan? What's wrong with him, what is wrong is the Son of Heaven who appointed traitorous ministers, An Lushan, and this world
Ashina Chengqing saw that Yan Zhuang gave up the struggle, so he looked at Gao Shang again, and saw that this colleague was actually tied up with five flowers, but there was no gag in his mouth, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and then he became ecstatic, and actually used all his strength to hit it over there. However, under his body movements, Gao Shang only glanced back at him lightly, and then sneered.
"Isn't it just death? A thousand eyes see, a thousand people point to it, everyone says that we are traitors, everyone thinks of us to die, and what do they bother to beg for? Died in the net
Ashina Chengqing glared at Gao Shang angrily with hatred, and then finally gave up this last bit of effort, and just sat on his knees and waited for death.
Du Shiyi saw that the hour was almost up, and he gave an order to Azler beside him. Azler bowed down, then strode to the front, bowing slightly to the two executioners who had already been prepared. The two big men immediately responded loudly, picked up the ghost head knife with one hand, and came behind Yan Zhuang and Ashina Chengqing. Originally, only two people were killed today, so only these two executioners were prepared. As they raised the two snow-bright swords high with both hands, the crowd gradually fell silent, only to see two snow-bright sword lights fall suddenly, just as the blood fountain gushed and the head fell to the ground.
"Good"
"Well Killed"
Hearing that the people around him all applauded, Du Shiyi saw that the two headless corpses had fallen to the ground, and the two heads rolled out far away, and the two executioners discussed, and one of them walked towards the next Gao Shang, and he suddenly shouted: "Today, only kill Yan Zhuang and Ashina Chengqing, and take Gao Shang down"
His sudden sound surprised everyone around him. Seeing that they all looked at him, Du Shiyi said casually: "There are only two executioners prepared today, and I was only going to kill two people, but Ashina Chengqing bumped into him and sent him to death, which is enough for two people, since it is the will of God, I want to spare his life, what do you think?" ”
The theory of metaphysical destiny is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and although the generals are warriors who gallop on the field, they are also convinced of this. Besides, today's killing is not so much a sacrifice to the flag, but rather a sacrifice to the heroic souls who died in the Battle of Changshan, so everyone has no big objections. Only Fu Gu Huaien looked at his eldest son, Fu Gu Dang, and said half-reproach and half-seriously: "It's really boring to kill these talkative scribes, why can't you be more lucky, and arrest a few rebel generals like Li Guiren, Cai Xide, or An Shouzhong, wouldn't it be more enjoyable to kill them today?" ”
Yan Zhuang and Ashina Chengqing turned into two corpses in an instant, Cui Qianyou and Tian Qianzhen exchanged a look, and they saw both relief and fear on each other's faces. Especially when they heard Fugu Huaien's words, they felt that this life was really a fluke. As for Sun Xiaozhe, who was accepted by the striker, he was even more cold, but Azler was the same age as him, but the means of governing the army were both grace and power, both soft and hard, and those soldiers were all trained and commanded by Azler himself, and his Sun Xiaozhe was under the elite of Anbei, and there were countless eyes staring at him in and out, how could he dare to have any dissent?
As the body was collected, the people in Zhending City who were watching today's execution gradually dispersed. They are natives of Hebei, Yan Zhuang or Ashina Chengqing, all of them were above the clouds in the past, An Lushan's right-hand man, and now An Lushan is dead, so that the two people are also beheaded in front of them, and everyone is full of confidence in finally quelling this rebellion.
And Du Shiyi killed Yan Zhuang and ended a major event in his heart. In history, An Lushan's strategists such as Ashina Chengqing, Zhang Tongru, Gao Shang and others all died unexpectedly, but Yan Zhuang, who planned An Qingxu's murder of his father, had the best luck, not only chose the right time to surrender, but also finally made an official. If such a person with an improper mind is sent back to Chang'an for Li Longji to dispose of, and then spares his life, he may be able to raise tigers in the future. Even Ashina Chengqing is the same, the rat is capricious at both ends, and killing it with a knife will save you trouble in the future. On the contrary, it is okay to leave the noble fate of God early for the time being, maybe it will be of some use in the future.
If it weren't for Ashina Chengqing being brought back by Fu Gudang, maybe the head of the person who fell to the ground at this moment would be noble, and in the end, this person was really lucky
But that's all in the past. On the way back to Taishou Mansion, Du Shiyi specially asked Yan Gaoqing to accompany him, and then conveyed another thing that he had planned in his heart.
"Today, 18 of the 24 counties in Hebei have been completely pacified. But the thieves rebelled, Hebei and Henan were deeply injured, I would like to ask Brother Yan and other Taishou to jointly sign a letter with me to exempt the rebels of Hebei and Henan from the three-year rent of the counties ravaged by Hebei and Henan, I don't know if Brother Yan is willing to sign? ”
Yan Gaoqing was worried about this matter, and when he heard that Du Shiyi was willing to advocate it, he was overjoyed, and immediately said: "Such a move to appease the people, of course the lower officials are willing."
Du Shiyi and Yan Gaoqing were discussing how to appease the counties and counties of Hebei after the war, but among the generals who fell behind, they gradually lost the joy and smile just now, but the fuse was because of a news brought back by Fu Gudan. Among the Ashina Chengqing and his entourage that he caught, someone revealed that when Du Shiyi returned to Chang'an City before, the bad experience in the Sixteen Princes' mansion, from Yongwang Li and his son wanted to kill two birds with one stone, and at the same time kill the king and kill his father, blame Du Shiyi, to this matter was planned by the Son of Heaven, but it turned out to be self-defeating, and all the details were vivid.
After a long period of embarrassing silence, Guo Ziyi shook his head and whispered: "When I was besieging Anyang City before, the rebels had rumored that the marshal had been killed because of his high merits, but in the end the marshal returned safely. ”
"Lao Guo, it's not me talking about you, you are so stupid and loyal, if the rebels want to spread rumors, how can you wait until today? As early as when our army was besieging Ye County, or when Changshan was besieged, it was taken out and propagated Moreover, in Ye County before, the rumors that the marshal was dead were vague, where was it like this time, and even who made the move, and what was going on? There is no ground, this matter is ** true" Speaking of this, Fugu Huaien said to Nunu of Hun Shi, "Brother Hun thinks I am right? ”
Hun Shizhi is not a muddy person, but said cautiously: "Don't make a noise about this matter first, so as not to fall into the scheme." ”
Cheng Qianli's own Hedong Festival envoy was only finalized because of Du Shiyi, and he was naturally extremely sensitive to the wind and grass in the middle of the court. Seeing that Guo Ziyi was silent, he suddenly glanced back and said softly: "This time the marshal came back from Chang'an, and the forward battalion that originally stayed in Beijing also followed, and the commander of the forward battalion will be the marshal Yizi Du Sui, what happened to Chang'an, Du Sui must know." Even if he refuses to say it, Li Huaiyu and Xue Song were also in Chang'an at that time, so it should be easy to talk. ”
Fugu Huaien immediately said: "Cheng Dashuai is right, I don't ask Xue Song and Li Huaiyu, but I just ask Du Sui if he dares to speak, I don't care if he is the marshal or not, you don't care, look at me"
Seeing that the servant Gu Huaien said this, he turned his horse and rushed to the front of the forward battalion, and Guo Ziyi's face was dark. As soon as Fu Gudang opened his mouth to say such a thing, he had already concluded in his heart that it must be true, but he had never heard of such rumors in the army before, and it must have been Du Shiyi who gave a ban order, the reason was very simple, at that time, the three armies of Hedong, Shuofang, and Anbei had been shaken by rumors, and Du Shiyi didn't want to use those bullshit things in Chang'an to lose morale. But now that so much time has passed, even if it is not spread in the army, the news of Guanzhong has gradually spread, where can it be covered?
Your Majesty, your Majesty, you are already dying, and there is An Lushan's rebellion that has made the Tang Dynasty lose its vitality, why do you still refuse to stop?
