Chapter 834: Rose and White Lotus

The city of Chang'an was heavily guarded with soldiers and armor. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info just yesterday after the black robe swept away, the sun had just risen, and Luo Shixin's 30,000 iron horsemen entered the city, regardless of what happened in the city, and went directly back to the camp of the Tiance General's Mansion to station. What's even more surprising is that Luo Heizi didn't go to visit the adults, but fell asleep under the covers.

After a few people who were ordered to invite General Luo to discuss the matter went back to report to their masters, those important ministers of the court couldn't laugh.

Only Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui looked at each other and smiled, knowing that General Luo was a real smart person.

The Military Inspection Office was responsible for arresting and killing people, and the rest of the matter was handed over to Cheng Mingzhen's Chang'an defenders. A large number of soldiers and armor poured into the streets, surrounding many of the mansions that had been sealed by the Military Inspectorate yesterday. Outside the yamen of the various ministries and governments were also full of armor soldiers. Although there is no closure of the streets, people can enter and exit freely, but the smell of slaughter in Chang'an City is a little uncomfortable.

In the Beiya of the Military Inspection Office in the innermost part of the Daming Palace, in the small courtyard where dozens of important officials of the imperial court gathered, almost all the adults who had not slept all night had washed up and prepared to eat something, and at this time, Xie Yingdeng, who had also slept all night but worked much harder than them, walked in slowly, holding a large stack of papers in his hand.

Many courtiers stood up one after another to salute, and Xie Yingden smiled and returned the salute one by one.

The leaders of the old ministers glanced at each other, and then focused their eyes on Du Ruhui. Du Ruhui is now the head of the hundred officials, and at this time, everyone naturally hopes that he will stand up and ask about the situation first.

Now there is no need for Du Ruhui to avoid suspicion and retreat, after all, after a day and a night, none of the courtiers in this courtyard were taken away by the Military Inspection Department, which shows that the people here are loyal to His Royal Highness King Yan, so it is time to open the skylight and speak brightly.

"It's all right?"

Du Ruhui asked Xie Yingdeng.

Xie Yingdeng handed him the stack of papers in his hand, and said in a hoarse voice because of tiredness and sleepiness: "Last night, all the captured rebels were suddenly interrogated, and the interrogators of the Third Department of the North Ya of the Military Inspection Department were also busy all night. Ninety percent of the rebellion has been detained and confessed, and Hou Junji has not been left behind, and he has also been detained. ”

Everyone couldn't help but let out a long breath.

"This is the accomplice that Hou Junji spit out yesterday, I have mobilized all the cavalry out of the city overnight, and General Cheng Mingzhen has transferred three thousand cavalry to cooperate, which will estimate that it is a hundred miles away from the city. If nothing else, within ten days, all the people on this list will be punished. This is now easy to do...... Because the rest of the matter is not to arrest people, interrogate them, collect evidence and convict, but simply kill people. ”

Du Ruhui nodded, turned to the others and hugged his fists and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please go back, the overall situation of this matter has been decided today." The yamen of the various ministries and governments can't be left alone, what else should we do, Xie Da told me before, or the lord will return to Chang'an City in less than a month, let's ...... There's something to do. ”

He looked at Fang Xuanling and said: "Xuanling, don't go, you are now presiding over the Ministry of Rites, and many things must be prepared before the lord returns to Chang'an...... The emperor's violent death also has to be discussed how to deal with the aftermath and what etiquette to mourn. In addition, the people of the household department should go back and make a good calculation, and after a while, they will need a lot of silver to do things, and they can't be delayed because they can't get the money. ”

The officials of the household department nodded hurriedly, except for Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, and others, the officials of the other ministries hurriedly left to go back to their yamen to do business. This big case didn't involve them, which was enough to make them feel at ease.

After everyone left, Du Ruhui glanced at Xie Yingdeng and said with admiration: "After this incident, some guilt and mistakes still have to be borne by you after all...... I've wronged you. ”

Xie Yingdeng smiled, rubbed his sour eyes, sat down in the chair and said with a smile: "The errand man in the Military Inspectorate has never thought about how to do things for the lord, and does not think about what kind of encounter he will have. Because...... The Lord Guild takes care of it for us. ”

Fang Xuanling nodded: "But the death of the emperor, as well as the destruction of at least four relatively large families, once the news spreads all over the world, the pressure will all be borne by the Military Inspectorate."

Du Ruhui nodded and said, "That's why I said, Luo Shixin is really a smart person."

"He led his troops into the city, and no one slept with their heads covered. This is a gesture, a gesture that is clearly in the game but stays out of the way. Too smart...... Getting some sleep and getting rid of everything has nothing to do with him anymore. He didn't take action to quell the rebellion, but Chen Bing was outside Chang'an City, and after entering the city, he didn't see anyone, which was his unwillingness to fight for merit...... Actually, isn't he avoiding trouble?"

Xie Yingdeng nodded: "Or if the lord arranges it like this, he can't let several generals in the army be involved." When the lord returns, he will inevitably denounce some people, and I am the first to bear the blame. So I can sit down with a few adults today, and I'm afraid that after a while, I'm afraid that I will have to go fishing by the river to spend the day. ”

He glanced at Du Ruhui, lowered his voice and smiled: "Lord Du, you rushed to Beiyali in a hurry, and you can't get rid of it...... Isn't it avoiding trouble?"

Du Ruhui was dumbfounded, and then laughed.

He turned to look out the window, and after being silent for a while, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Ti rode out of the city, and the blood flowed like a river...... Longyou has no family since then, so generous. ”

The fat and burly palace maid didn't think until she died that the poison she swallowed was the medicine of suspended animation, it was a real poison pill, so she quietly swallowed it and had a dream that she could escape, but after all, she couldn't escape the end of not waking up.

It's not just his poison...... In fact, the one in Li Chengde's hand is also really poisonous, and Hou Junji didn't intend to let him survive.

Hou Junji, who was locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department, had a haggard face, leaning against the cold and hard wall in a daze. He looked at the lock in his hand, and he didn't know what he was thinking. He was silent for a long time, like a dead tree, until the cell boss brought him food, and he raised his head and regained some vitality.

"I didn't think I would go hungry."

He smiled self-deprecatingly, and sighed as he looked at the meat and vegetable dishes in front of him.

The cell boss, who was very different from him in terms of status before, pouted, turned his head and left, as if he didn't bother to pay attention to him. After walking out a few steps, he couldn't help but stop, looked back at Hou Junji and said seriously: "Let you eat well, I want you to live in peace and wait until the lord returns." Wouldn't it be cheap if you just died? Again...... Raise you fatter, and the officials who executed Ling Chi were also easy to knife when they were executed. ”

Hou Junji was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud, revealing endless sadness and anger.

He kicked over the food in front of him, and waited for the cell boss to say, "I won't let you get everything you want."

The cell boss pursed his lips disdainfully: "You don't eat for a day, and you have the strength to kick the food with your feet." What about three days later? What about five days later? When the time comes, I'll have someone pour you some gruel, and there will always be a way to keep you alive. There is one thing you yourself should understand...... It is better to endure suffering and sin, than to wait with enough food and drink. ”

Hou Junji was stunned, nodded after being silent for a while, bent down and stuffed the dusty food into his mouth with his fingers, his face expressionless.

After eating the dissipated food, he leaned against the wall and let out a long breath before muttering to himself, "My husband was born in troubled times...... How can you not be an emperor for a day?"

In this world, I don't know how many people have this thought.

Yu Wenhua, Wang Shichong, Wang Fubao, and Wang Roar all had such feelings before they died...... Is it to blame this troubled world, or to blame human nature for being greedy?

Jiangdu

Wu Yunzhao walked quickly into the lobby of the Nanya of the Military Inspection Department, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw dozens of people kneeling densely in the room, all of whom were tied with ropes, which were extremely tight, and the ropes had been strangled into the flesh. These people knelt there with their heads bowed deeply, and none of them even dared to shout out something like wrongdoing.

Wu Yunzhao smiled, strode over and said, "The people from the Military Inspection Department are really extraordinary, and they have served these thieves in one pot in just two months, beautiful."

Wan Yulou, who was sitting on the top chair in the lobby, saw that Wu Yun was summoned, and hurriedly got up to greet him, shaking his fat and said: "It's not a big person worth mentioning, it's just a group of little thieves with little knowledge." is obviously stupid like a quail egg, but he still dreams about spring and autumn all day long. ”

"Who is the leader of the Orthodox Sect?"

Wu Yunzhao asked without hesitation.

Wan Yulou pointed to the only middle-aged man who knelt at the front and refused to bow his head, and smiled: "It's this guy who doesn't know what to do, what kind of big man should I be, I thought that the most unfortunate was also an important general under the Jianghuai thief Du Fuwei, who would have thought that he was just a deserter, when General Xu Shiji led the army to defeat Du Fuwei, this guy was not even a captain, he was just an ordinary soldier, because he was afraid of death, so he pretended to be dead and escaped."

After escaping by luck, he went incognito, and in the past few years, he jumped out for some reason, claiming to be the general under Du Fuwei, and said that he was the last fierce man who protected Du Fuwei's withdrawal and did not retreat...... fooled a group of fools to make trouble with him, but in fact, he was just a little person who couldn't get on the stage. ”

Wu Yunzhao was stunned, but he didn't expect that the sect leader of the Orthodox Sect would have such an unbearable background.

A deserter, not even a captain.

dared to brazenly say that he was a fierce general under Du Fuwei and a model of loyalty, and then swaggered and deceived in the name of Du Fuwei, and in a few years, he actually developed to tens of thousands of sect members. If it is rotated late, no one can guarantee that there will be any big mess in the future.

Wu Yunzhao walked over and carefully looked at this little person who had to be impressed.

"Why are you doing this? Do you really think that you can do great things with some unarmed people? You should know, if it is decided today, how can a person like you turn over the storm?"

"That's right."

Huang Xiaomin, the leader of the Zhengli Sect, raised his head, looked at Wu Yunzhao and said seriously: "That's right, I'm a small person, I don't go into the stream, and I'm even a deserter...... But so what? Heroes don't ask where they come from...... If one day I do succeed and sit in that supreme chair, who would dare to say that I am a deserter? Who would dare to say I'm not a hero?"

"The eldest husband was born in troubled times...... Even if it's just to be an emperor for a day, you can't miss it. ”

He said word by word.

grassland

Grass House

The wooden house is crooked, and the courtyard is barren and grassy. The wind blew from afar, blowing the weeds low, as if in a procession to welcome the return of their masters. The flag with the words "Ye Family Caolu" written on the flagpole is still there, but it has been broken into a piece of cloth, where can you still see the handwriting.

Li Xian and Ye Huaisleeve stood outside the door, and both of them couldn't help but be a little surprised and shocked.

The scene in front of them gave birth to some inexplicable emotions in both of them. Li Xian stretched out his hand and clasped Ye Huaisleeve's hand, and the two of them looked at each other and laughed.

Fence wall

Full of roses

Blooming like a cloud of flowers, the fragrance refreshes the heart and spleen.

And just as they were moved by the blooming roses on the wall, the crooked door of the wooden house was suddenly pushed open from the inside.

A woman in a white dress.

Walked out slowly, like a white lotus.

She looked at Li Xian, smiled and whispered: "Many times before, I always missed it with you." You go east and I go west, you go south and I go north...... When I arrived at Yanshan, I suddenly felt that I might miss it, so I came back and ran to the grass house to wait...... Was...... I was waiting. ”

When she said this, the corners of her eyes were already slightly moist.
