Chapter 556: Bloody Morning
For most of the month, it is enough for a short letter from the northwest to Jindu, or from Hebei Province to Jindu. When the first military information was transmitted back to Jindu from thousands of miles away, a steady stream of snowflakes submerged the storage of the military department. Then one of the directors took leave, and then the squire of the military department also took leave.
Emperor Jin has been looking bad since he received the first military information, and the queen happened to pass by at that time, and as a result, she sent something unpleasant. Outsiders don't know. The eunuch and palace maid who were present at the time were never found in the palace again.
The first military information that Emperor Jin received was not a report from the Northwest Army that was sent early, but from Cangzhou, which was sent a little later.
Several Ti Cai, who had been hidden for ten years, were killed, and then hundreds of suspicious people were implicated, all of whom were secretly killed, and some of them had a keen sense of smell, and they were also killed by the secret power of the Sima family at the first time. Many of them had their throats cut and their hearts pierced without even knowing it.
There is no doubt that someone betrayed them, but these people will not know who stabbed them in the back until they die. The only thing of little value that could make them die during this period was that Sima Bi's military intelligence for rebellion was sent out.
On the morning of the second day when Emperor Jin received the military information, before going to court, Gonggong Cai handed over a few small bamboo tubes to Emperor Jin, and then retreated in panic.
Emperor Jin dismantled those bamboo tubes, looked at them in turn, put them in his sleeves, and then went to court.
"Upper Dynasty"
Eunuch Si Chen's voice came from the Hanyuan Palace, and it lasted for a long time. Emperor Jin walked on the throne, the pearls hanging on the crown swayed in front of his eyes, he glanced at the door of the main hall of Hanyuan Palace, and then said with a smile: "Emperor Wuwu of the previous dynasty, good to use cool officials, often even ministers, before some officials went to the court, they hugged their wives and children and cried, and when they stayed in the next dynasty, they returned home to reunite, thinking that they would live another day." Hehe, Zhongqing said, what is the difference between my dynasty today and the Great Chu Dynasty"
As soon as these words came out, the Great Jin Dynasty, which was already known for its "good words", suddenly became lively. It is not uncommon for His Majesty the Emperor to like to tell some interesting stories about the past dynasties, and then let people discuss them, and then lead to the theme of today's court meeting. This kind of slightly relaxed opening of the court meeting is quite popular, that is, some old-fashioned Taoists who like to see the truth in the subtleties will enjoy it after a long time.
Cool officials, this is a key word, so some people began to say that the rule of officials. Not surprisingly, this is the theme of today's morning dynasty. After all, although there is a small problem in the northwest at this time, it is generally just a mustard disease, and those barbarians will have to roll back sooner or later, but there is no need to worry. The national strength of the Great Jin Dynasty is thriving, and at this time it has already recovered from the exhaustive military force in the past few years, which can be regarded as a great governance, and can be called the Jingping of Unai, and His Majesty thinks of the rule of officials at this time, which is also reasonable.
Some people started with it, some people agreed, and some people put forward different points of view, but in general, there is no way to avoid a point of emperor wisdom.
Emperor Jin looked down with a smile, and waited for a long time, some people had quarreled, Hanyuan Hall regained its calm, and Emperor Jin smiled: "What do you think about the ministers of the previous dynasty, standing on such a court, when they speak, what is the situation?" ”
After all, he is the emperor, and he will not say such a thing as being scared to pee.
However, the ministers below would not care about these things, and for a while, laughter broke out in the hall.
"Needless to say, there must be two wars."
"Scared and collapsed"
"It's just scared to pee, and it must be uncommon"
"It's not for nothing that the court dragged it down, there were two cases in the history books of the previous dynasty"
Emperor Jin smiled, so everyone was quiet.
"The previous dynasty used cool officials, so the officials ruled the Qing Ping, and the likes of favoritism and fraud have always been in the forefront."
Sure enough, it was said that the officials ruled.
"Therefore, in the previous dynasty, whenever there was a major trouble, it was rarely because of internal problems, but more often because of the invasion of foreign enemies."
Hmm, the taste has changed?
"This dynasty is full of grace and power, the internal legislation of the Son of Heaven, and the external listening to the world, which is quite effective. I sometimes think that I am quite accomplished in this aspect of the rule of officials, even if I talk to my ancestors, I can also be called a good experience. ”
I see, someone is going to be unlucky today
"But I found out today that I was wrong, and I couldn't be more wrong."
"Although there are fewer corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but the national program is sluggish, and internal evils breed, it has actually reached the point of subverting my Dajin thousands of miles of rivers and mountains!"
In the main hall, there was a sudden exclamation that this is, is there someone who is doing the opposite?
"Someone has made me the opposite"
Needles can be heard in the main hall.
"Going, Li Lian in the imperial history, the alternate of the Ministry of Works, Wai Lang appeared, the ordnance supervisor Cheng Liu Wang took it, and he was beheaded tomorrow, if there is resistance, he will be killed immediately with a golden melon."
Emperor Jin read more than a dozen names in one breath, and then there was a golden armor wrestler to arrest people, some people did not react, brought to the wrestlers close, shouted loudly to be wronged, I don't know what crime was committed, but only a little break free, then the wrestler pulled out the golden gourd on his waist, knocked on the head, and suddenly the red and white came out, splashing the face of the person next to him. And then it caused screaming confusion.
"Your Majesty has been wronged"
"The heart of the minister is visible every day!"
"Just Bewitched"
"The minister should not have repented at the beginning, Your Majesty was gracious"
Emperor Jin's eyes were cold, watching someone in the hall keep falling, someone kneeling on the ground and begging, and someone already understood what had happened, but just before he had time to shout twice, he was pounced, held down, and did not let go, and then blood gushed out from under his neck.
Those who were on the main hall and kneeling outside the hall were caught everywhere. Emperor Jin only read a dozen people, and there were a group of people, who were mastered by the Imperial Forest Army, and they were immediately arrested.
The cries were endless, and many ministers even knelt down a little late, and they were punched and kicked by the Royal Forest Army, and after a period of climax, those who should be dragged down were dragged down. Blood and violence made the vast majority of the remaining people tremble and dare not speak out again.
After the two pillars of incense, Emperor Jin looked at the hall that was already full of blood and brains, as well as the bright red outside, and stood up, everyone had already knelt down, like Chen Hua, the head of the household, his knees were kneeling in a pool of bloody white, and his thighs trembled violently. Lin Lingsi's face was pale, and he held back his fear, as if he would vomit it out in the next moment. Unexpectedly today, dragging the sick body up to Qian Bo'an, who was given a seat, sat upright on the chair, his eyes slightly closed, and his already thin body seemed to be as stable as Mount Tai.
"They rebelled and rebelled. That's why I'm going to kill them. Mr. Qian, am I doing something wrong? Your boss is in charge of the Imperial Historical Tower, but you are sensible, and you are judged? But just now, there were people from the Imperial Observatory who were taken down."
Qian Bo'an opened his cloudy eyes, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and his small and muddy voice sounded in Hanyuan Palace: "Rebels and thieves, everyone will be punished." ”
"Good!" Emperor Jin clapped his hands and said loudly: "Mr. Qian is really a direct minister, worthy of the minister, I originally thought that what you would say should be checked by me first, and persuade me that there may be any deviation in this, but you didn't say it, I am very happy." ”
Emperor Jin walked down, looked at the ministers kneeling in a pool of blood, and said: "My country, my world, and my people are all mine, and I do not allow exceptions." ”
"Whoever wants me in the world, I will not be soft. Perhaps some of you have forgotten how I stood here twenty-three years ago. ”
"My long sword is not rusty, where did I come from, dare to provoke me? My armor is still bright, who dares to talk to me with a sword and axe? My heart is still beating, and the world is mine. ”
Emperor Jin said, slowly walking back to the throne, these words should not have been said here, and the people below did not dare to raise their heads, Emperor Jin said this, as if he was talking to himself.
In front of the throne, Emperor Jin put one hand behind his back and said lightly: "Sima Bi has descended to Yan." ”
There was silence in the hall again, and then someone's teeth chattered, and the sound was clearly audible in the hall. Soon after, someone cried.
No one below dared to answer Emperor Jin's words. Emperor Jin felt a little lonely.
Sighing, Emperor Jin said: "Tuoba Xianbei Yuwen Xianbei Second Department has already entered the Guanwai Dao. ”
"The 100,000 iron cavalry of the Yan Kingdom went south, and the soldiers approached Hebei Road."
"Southern Song Dynasty Dongting Lake Water Division Gathering"
One by one, one by one, impacted the hearts of the officials of the Jin Kingdom.
Emperor Jin closed his eyes slightly, as if he had thought of something, and then opened his eyes, with anger on his face.
Do you think that if you die, the world will be in chaos, and I will have no choice? I have.
In the Weihou Mansion, Xie Shang, who said that he was sick today, was in the mansion, looking at the red maple in the courtyard, twisting a maple leaf like fire in his hand, and said softly: "At this time, he should have received the second military information." ”
The man standing beside Xie Sheng was silent.
After a long time, Xie Sheng shook his head and smiled, as if he was a little helpless.
"He still has that temperament, once he recognizes it, the nine cows can't pull it back."
The man standing next to Xie Sheng did not have any special temperament, he was ordinary, his face was even more ordinary, and his eyebrows were slightly tangled.
This person is Zhou Jinmian.
"Lord Shilang, because of your small move, it only delayed the time for the Northwest Army's military intelligence to be presented, and so many people died at the court meeting, and you still laughed?"
The morning breeze rose slightly, and maple leaves fell, red as fire and red as blood.
This morning was bleeding.
Xie Sheng glanced at Zhou Jinmian and said, "So Lord Clerical, you came here in person this morning." ”
Zhou Jinmian expressed his incomprehension and said: "You know that if you do this, your Xie family and Your Majesty's last incense will run out, and Your Majesty will inevitably kill you, why do you still do this?" ”
"A hundred years of neighbors, ten years of relatives, only a few years of friendship between kings and ministers, how can they withstand the profligacy of several generations? Your Majesty is already very kind. How could I ask for anything? ”
Xie Sheng turned around, looked at Zhou Jinmian face to face, and said, "Look, hasn't Zhao Hongtai been on leave for a long time?" Didn't he go back to his hometown a long time ago to recuperate? I'm afraid I'm still on the run at this time. Perhaps, he has been caught by Ti Cai, after all, Feng Zhi brought it out, hehe, it is too pervasive, Zhao Hongtai Muguan Monkey, how can he deceive you. ”
Xie Sheng smiled faintly twice when he said thank you, as if he was very proud.
"In that case, why should I go? Jin is my home, my Xie family has lived in this house for more than 100 years, and there are hundreds of ancestral tablets in the mourning hall, I just want to go, where can I go? ”
"So Secretary-General, if you want to arrest someone and kill someone, do it."
"Actually, it wasn't you who assassinated me at that time, and I'm very happy."
Youti was about to step forward, but the iron armor made a swishing sound, and Zhou Jinmian raised his hand to stop.
Xie Shenwei was outside the courtyard, leaning against the courtyard door panting. The slashing horse in his hand was bloodied, and he was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, and the shaft of the arrow was broken by him, and there was a circle of corpses lying beside him. Opposite him was a black cavalry with crossbows, bows, and mandarin duck long and short knives.
In Weihou Mansion, there are no less than 200 people, and outside the mansion, there are 300 black-armored heavy horsemen, all of whom are dressed in black and mandarin duck clothes.
Zhou Jinmian's lips moved slightly, looking at the middle-aged man who seemed to have completely calculated everything, and frowned.
This man, calmly afraid of people, in Zhou Jinmian's opinion, Xie Sheng is like a whirlpool, bottomless, sucking the entire Great Jin Kingdom into it.
