Ling Chi, also known as a thousand cuts, this kind of punishment first originated in the Five Dynasties, and this fashion was the Tang Dynasty, so naturally it will not be recorded in the Six Classics of the Tang Dynasty.

Ma Lan is familiar with history books, so he naturally knows this, but for this guy who colluded with foreign clans to betray the Tang Dynasty, he had already decided before he arrived in Tingzhou that he must cut this guy with a thousand knives.

In the annals of Chinese history, there is no shortage of this kind of character, and the most hated is this kind of character, who harmed the state of his parents for his own selfish interests, and every time he read such a character when he read history in his previous life, he was filled with righteous indignation, and he wanted to catch such a character out of the long river of history and beat him up.

Now that he has met one, Ma Lan will naturally not be polite.

Cai Zhongman is actually dead, and Gao Linshan and Gu Yuanqin are still seriously carrying out the punishment. The sinners on the wooden frame were covered in blood and flesh, and the crowd pointed to the wooden frame and cheered loudly. These are all Han people in Tingzhou City, they only heard that this guy colluded with foreign clans to harm the Tang Dynasty, such a person naturally deserves to die, and naturally should be dealt with like this.

Let Gu Yuanqin and Gao Linshan do it themselves, which can be regarded as a slight punishment for the two, although both of them are enthusiastic and there is nothing wrong with their actions, but after all, they fell for this sour thing, and it is not too much to be punished by this.

After the execution, the crowd slowly dispersed, and the news of General Ma's return spread. Ordered the Han Navy soldiers to seal the city gate and prevent people from outside the city from entering, especially Duan Junzi, and then Ma Ling took Gao Gu and the others into the Tingzhou Prefecture.

"What the Son of Heaven is doing here—who else knows?"

Let all the soldiers disperse, Ma Lan looked at the two and asked.

Gao Linshan said: "The subordinates don't know, only me, Lao Gu and the dog thief surnamed Cai know here. However, since the dog thief surnamed Cai is at the mercy of others. I'm afraid many people in the Persian temple know about it. In addition, I heard that there have been rumors in Chang'an. said that His Majesty was in Tingzhou. Now it seems that the news was spread by the people of the Persian temple. ”

Ma Lan nodded.

"The people of the Persian Temple...... They are nothing. The fewer people who know about such things, the better. As for rumors, they are just rumors after all, and we just don't admit them. ”

"What we have to do now is to find out the remnants of the Persian Temple in Tingzhou City, and the two of you are responsible for this matter, headed by Lao Gao. Remember. If there is a mistake in killing, there is no letting go, and those who should be punished should be punished, don't run away from one person, understand? ”

"Yes, General!" Both nodded.

After explaining some details to the two of them, Ma Ling asked about Yang Guozhong's condition again, and heard extremely unexpected news that Yang Guozhong, the head of the Hokkaido march and the left minister of the Tang Dynasty, was dead!

This incident was also unexpected by Ma Lan, who imprisoned Yang Guozhong in Tingzhou. It's just that I don't want him to follow the Northern Expedition to hinder me, but I didn't think about killing him.

Ask for details. Knowing that the day of Yang Guozhong's death was June 15, Ma Luan's expression was a little strange.

June 15 of the fifteenth year of Tianbao, on top of the original history, was the day of Ma Wei's mutiny. Chen Xuanli, Li Fuguo and the crown prince Li Heng killed Yang Guozhong at Ma Weiyi and forced Li Longji to commit suicide as a concubine, which was also a major event in the history of the Tang Dynasty.

History has changed, the Anshi Rebellion did not happen, naturally there was no Ma Wei mutiny, but Yang Guozhong still died on this day, it is really a coincidence.

Listening to the two of them, it turned out that after the Tingzhou mutiny, the soldiers pursued Hun Ying to the residence of the Son of Heaven, and almost injured the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven saw Yang Guozhong once because he wanted to prove his identity, and then Yang Guozhong stayed in the residence of the Son of Heaven to serve the Son of Heaven. Later, the two listened to Cai Zhongman's nonsense and decided to imprison the Son of Heaven, so they imprisoned Yang Guozhong there.

After being imprisoned, the Son of Heaven was in a bad mood and often scolded Yang Guozhong, especially after the death of Gao Lishi and others. Later, one day, for some reason, the Son of Heaven ordered Yang Guozhong to kneel in the courtyard all night, but Yang Guozhong was also honest, and he knelt there all night and did not get up. The night in Tingzhou was cold, Yang Guozhong contracted the wind cold, and there was no good doctor here, so he didn't last long before he died.

The two of them had also sent a messenger to Mobei to report on this matter, Ma Ling thought about it for a while, and knew that when the envoy arrived in Mobei, he was already on the way back, and he was not on the same road, so he didn't bump into him.

Yang Guozhong died, and died on the day he died in the original history. This guy is dead, and Li Heng, who is supposed to come to Chang'an, will be happy to know about it. After all, Yang Guozhong, like former Prime Minister Li Linfu, has framed Li Heng many times, and Li Heng has not been happy in the past ten years, which is because of the two of them.

Yang Guozhong, a generation of power ministers, finally died of wind and cold in Tingzhou!

Such an ending is still better than the original history, at least it did not affect his wife and children.

When people die, everything is empty, and there is nothing to say about those who are already dead, and the grievances between each other are over. At this time, I suddenly remembered Yang Youniang, who was still in Chang'an City, the little woman who had the heart to die.

Yang Guozhong is her father after all, and now he is dead in Tingzhou, if she knows about this, I am afraid she will also be sad.

This is a trivial matter after all, Ma Ling didn't think much about it, and ordered the second general Gao Gu to go out on errands and look for people in Tingzhou City who might have something to do with the Persian Temple. Then he himself went out of Tingzhou City and took a few hundred soldiers to sweep the strongholds of several nearby Persian temples.

These places were told to him by the great shaman in order to show his sincerity of cooperation, and the great shaman had already been killed by him, and the Persians in these places naturally could not stay.

Of course, the main reason for doing these things is to stall for time. When he arrived in Tingzhou, the most important thing was to meet Li Longji, and at this time, he was still under a lot of pressure.

After all, it was the Emperor of the Ages.

In the evening, Ma Lan returned to Tingzhou City, and under the leadership of Gao Linshan and Gu Yuanqin, he came to the side of the mansion near Guanshi in the depths of the inner city.

After greeting the soldiers at the door and ordering the two to guard outside, Ma Lu took a deep breath and strode in.

……

During the day, the whole city was extremely noisy, and Li Longji was also uneasy, and he was sitting in the hall when he was holding the lamp, when he was sitting in the hall, he suddenly heard footsteps coming outside.

The footsteps were heavy and powerful, unlike those of the Turkic maids. Li Longji slowly stood up and looked out the door.

There was a battle in Litingzhou City today, and he knew this, the sound of fire and thunder explosions came from inside Guan City, and he naturally knew that something big was wrong.

He vaguely felt that this would be related to him, and something would definitely happen, so he had been waiting. And now, it seems that there should be a result.

The footsteps got closer and closer, and a javelin-like figure stepped in, arched his hand towards Li Longji and said, "Your Majesty." ”

"Ma Qing! Is that you? Li Longji saw the person coming, and his face showed surprise.

He has been trapped in Tingzhou for the past few months, waiting for Ma Lan to come back. When Ma Lu came back, he would naturally punish those killers, and he would naturally be able to get out of trouble.

Then discuss with Ma Lan about the relocation of the Ma family's workshop to Chang'an, in the past, he complicated the simple problem, in fact, there was no need to take a salary from the bottom of the kettle, and he did it when Ma Lan went to Mobei to destroy Hui, as long as he said a word, Ma Lan would naturally give the Ma family workshop obediently.

I was looking forward to the appearance of this person day and night, and now, this person finally appeared in front of him.

However, the look of surprise only lasted for a moment, and the next moment Li Longji's face changed!

It was indeed Ma Lan who came, but Ma Lan bowed his hand, as if he was not the Son of Heaven.

"Ma Qing, why don't you worship me when you see me! Are you going to rebel? Li Longji's face sank and he shouted in a low voice.

Ma Lan smiled and glanced at the Turkic maid beside Li Longji with a slightly bulging lower abdomen: "The dragon body is old and healthy, congratulations to Your Majesty." So saying, he walked over to the edge of his chair and sat down on his own.

Li Longji's face slowly became gloomy, his expression was extremely gloomy, and his heart instantly sank to the bottom. His general returned, but things didn't seem to be what he had thought.

After all, he was the first emperor of the ages, Li Longji still calmed down, sat down slowly, waved his hand to signal the Turkic maid to leave, and said coldly: "I was locked up here after being killed by those two, and there is nothing else to do, I have been pampered a few times, and that's it." Ma Qing, what's going on with the return? ”

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, the Nine Divisions of Tiele no longer exist, and the people of the Huangnesi have also been exterminated, and the northern part of the Tang Dynasty is worry-free. I heard that the people of Muwei were also wiped out by Li Jing, and there were only the Sila and Silla in the east, which would be destroyed sooner or later. Ma Lan arched his hand towards Li Longji and said in a deep voice.

"In this case, there must be a lot of people killed." Li Longji said.

Ma Lan nodded: "Weichen's army has killed more than one million." For the sake of the Tang Dynasty, Weichen is not afraid of the reputation of a butcher. ”

"It's so good, but it's not up to my trust." Li Longji nodded, looked directly at Ma Lan and said, "Gao Linshan and Gu Yuanqin, the two murderous talents, have you already corrected them?" ”

Ma Ling shook his head and said, "No." ”

"Why?" Li Longji furrowed his brows and said.

Ma Xuan said: "It was Your Majesty who wanted Weichen's subordinates to die first, and they were not at fault at that time, but Your Majesty was wrong." ”

"But I'm the Son of Heaven!" Li Longji said angrily, "The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die, this is a loyal minister!" I'm just trying to beat you with their deaths, and the two of them aren't dead! The two of them actually imprisoned me, don't they deserve to die? ”

Ma Lan was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "Because Your Majesty wanted them to die, it caused a fire, and all the 5,000 Shuo Fang soldiers died, and almost 200 of Weichen's subordinates also died." ”

Li Longji was silent for a moment: "I admit that there are indeed more dead. But I'm the Son of Heaven—"

"I don't care about Shuo Fangbing's death, but Weichen's subordinates are innocent, they don't deserve to die. They can die on the battlefield of fighting aliens, but they shouldn't die in this kind of thing. They were all seven-foot-tall Angzang men, and together they killed more than 1,000 people of different races, but they died here because of His Majesty's thoughts. Your Majesty has to give Weichen an explanation for this matter. Ma Xuan looked at Li Longji with a tense face and said slowly. (To be continued......)
