The sky was already bright, and the sun that had washed in the spring rain was shining again, but the entire city of Luoyang, Kyoto, seemed to have lost its vitality overnight, and the whole city was lifeless.

Last night's downpour rained all night, and the waterways and ditches in Luoyang City could not be drained in time, and most of the low-lying neighborhoods had been flooded, especially the Luoshui River that passed through the city in Kyoto.

What was once bright has now become a red river, and there are floating corpses everywhere in the river. There were not only Praetorian Guard officers, but also prisoners in prison clothes, as well as many ranger ruffians in short clothes, and many unidentified corpses dressed in black.

It wasn't until the morning of the morning that many people who had been worried and scared all night last night opened their doors with panic and walked out of their homes cautiously. Crowds of people were full of sorrow, cleaning up the houses that had been burned by the fire, and the neighbors who were lying dead in the streets, rivers, etc.

Last night's bloody night, the city was red. And in the afternoon, people died in almost every square and street from last night's storm*. After a few houses, there are white things, the city is full of vegetarians, and there are white paper money sprinkled everywhere.

In the Liangyi Hall of Ziwei Palace, Yang Guang had not slept all night, and his face was full of tiredness. But no matter how tired he was, he couldn't stop his current anger, and with a gorgeous instrument knife in his hand, Yang Guang stared fiercely at Sima Dekan, the black-clothed iron guard commander who was reporting below. Empress Xiao sat on one side with Zen Master Yuwen, who was only six years old, and Princess Izumo with a worried face.

Sima Dekan knelt in the hall, always feeling that the emperor's gorgeous treasure knife inlaid with gold and silver would slash at his neck at any time. At this time, he carefully considered his words, for fear that if he didn't say a good word, his good head would be gone.

"According to the reconnaissance of his subordinates, last night's rebellion was chaotic, and at the beginning it attacked the mansion of Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guo, and also attacked the mansion of Lord Yuwen of Xu Guogong, and also sent a team of men and horses to attack the mansion of Lord Pei, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but the guards in Lord Pei's mansion found it in time and avoided a catastrophe. Immediately after the war, the rebels set fire to Kyoto, and then attacked the Dali Temple Prison in Kyoto, the Criminal Department Prison, and the Henan Prefecture Prison. Not only did he let all the prisoners go, but he also confused the prisoners into the Kyoto riot*, burning and looting everywhere. ”

"Due to the rare heavy rain last night, the guards patrolling the city were a little lax, which gave the rebels an opportunity"

Yang Guang interrupted him impatiently and said coldly, "You keep saying that you have betrayed the party and betrayed the party, but I'm afraid that you haven't found out a single one yet, right?" Quite a few words"

"The minister should be damned, the minister has dispatched all the black-clothed iron guards to investigate, and reported to the two yamen of Henan Mansion and Jin Wuwei to reconnoiter together, I believe that there will be an answer soon."

"Soon, I'm afraid you're very fast, there will be no results in three or five months, right? A lot of words I ask you, is there any news of Chen Kefu now? ”

Sima Dekan secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said hesitantly, "Back to Your Majesty, the black-clothed iron guard and the counties of Henan have searched for more than a month, but no trace of him has been found, and the armies of Hebei and Shandong have not found anyone sneaking into Liaodong from the Central Plains. Therefore, the ministers unanimously agreed that Chen Kefu had died at the hands of Li Shimin and Li Yuanji as early as a month ago. ”

"Do you dare to vouch for your words just now?" Yang Guang looked at the treasure knife in his hand, and said coldly without a trace of emotion.

"Minister, minister" Sima De held back for a long time and didn't dare to vouch for his head. In fact, in his heart, he has always faintly felt that Chen Kefu is still alive.

Yang Guang snorted coldly, "Don't you dare?" Or do you think Chen Kefu is still alive, but you can't find him? ”

Seeing Sima Dekan lying there, not daring to raise his head, Yang Guang was silent for a while. Although he really wanted to cut off his head with his own hands at the moment, there were too few people who could really use it and be credible, and Yang Guang could only tolerate it temporarily.

"Continue to talk about the situation of the chaotic party last night, is there any news of Princess Nanyang?" In fact, Yang Guang only suspected in his heart that Chen Kefu was still alive. But last night there was turmoil in Kyoto, and Consciousness first attacked the Li Mansion and Yuwen Mansion in blood, if it wasn't for Pei Yun's timely discovery, the Pei family would not have been able to get rid of the result of being baptized in blood. Especially later, the rebel party tried his best to break into the palace, but he did not come to assassinate him, but robbed Princess Nanyang instead. According to his guess, it is very likely that the chaotic party was instigated by Chen Kefu, and the bloodbath of Li Yuan, Yu Wenshu, and Pei Fu was to take revenge. And robbing Princess Nanyang is likely to be a mistake. After all, Princess Nanyang was in Princess Izumo's palace at that time, but Princess Izumo had a close relationship with Chen Kefu, and she reported to Chen Kefu privately last time, and ran with him once. After deducing for a long time, he was already very convinced that last night's turmoil was Chen Kefu's doing. ,

Sima Dekan organized the following words and said, "Last night, the rebels rebelled against the party, and there were many rangers and ruffians in Kyoto who took the opportunity to steal and rob property, as well as Tian prisoners who escaped from major prisons, and many people in Kyoto also took the opportunity to make trouble. In addition, there are a large number of black-clothed traitors, ministers and other traitors, it is these black-clothed people who are the masterminds, and the rest are all taking the opportunity to cause trouble. The Kyoto Forbidden Army had suppressed the rebellion last night, and by this morning, most of the rebels in Luoyang City had been ambushed, except for a few who had not been arrested for the time being. According to statistics, there were nearly 10,000 prisoners, 30,000 rangers, and nearly 10,000 Kyoto people in Kyoto who were instigated by nearly 1,000 black-clad rebels last night to make a disturbance. ”

More than 50,000 people, this number is the number of people who died in Kyoto last night. Among them, there were more than 1,000 men in black, and the remaining prisoners and ruffians who took the opportunity to make trouble were less than 10,000. The remaining 40,000 were actually innocent people, who did not die in the violence of the prisoners and ruffians, but at the hands of the forbidden army who searched for them all over the city. Most of them were because the Praetorian Guards robbed property, raped women, and then set fire to the whole family and destroyed the body.

This was not the act of a certain unit of the Praetorian Guard, this was the atrocity of the entire hundreds of thousands of Janissaries last night. Although Sima Dekan was the commander of the black-clothed Iron Guard, he did not dare to tell the emperor the real truth behind this. And with the emperor's character, maybe he doesn't care about the life or death of those small people.

Compared with the more than one million people in the Eastern Capital, 50,000 is really not much. But when viewed separately, 50,000 is a big number. There are more than 1,000 counties in Dasui, with a total population of more than 40 million, of which a middle county in Dasui has a population of 50,000 or 60,000. And last night's turmoil was equivalent to wiping out the entire population of a county at once.

"Is there any news of Princess Nanyang?"

Sure enough, as Sima Dekan expected, the emperor only frowned after hearing that 50,000 people had died, but he didn't say anything, but continued to ask about Princess Nanyang's situation.

"The ministers have captured some prisoners, and are stepping up interrogation, and will rescue Her Royal Highness Princess Nanyang as soon as possible."

"Waste" Yang Guang flew with a sword, just a little in front of Sima Dekan's head lying on the ground, and the blade that was close at hand made Sima Dekan's heart hang in his throat.

"What do I want you to do? There are hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops in the eastern capital, and more than 100,000 local government troops in Beijing, and now they have actually let the rebel party chaos in Kyoto, and bloodbathed the two important ministers of the imperial court. even let the rebels break into the palace and kidnap my princess. Up to now, there is still a big gap in the palace wall of the east city. You say, what good are you wastes but wasting my food? I should hang you all, or one day there will be a rebel who has come out of nowhere. ”

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger" Empress Xiao saw that Yang Guang had already gone berserk, and hurriedly reassured.

Yang Guang glared at Sima Dekan, "Why don't you go down and find the princess for me, stay here, do you want to wait for me to give you a banquet?" ”

"The minister retreated" Sima Dekan hurriedly got up, bent over and retreated.

Sima just left, but another chamberlain trotted into the hall, "Your Majesty, Shandong Rongguo Gong came to Dashuai to fly pigeon urgently"

"Shandong's urgent report to protect the children, is it that there is a change in the affairs of Liaodong? Hurry up," Yang Guang's face changed.

The waiter trotted to hand over the urgent report, Yang Guang opened it, and saw that there were two letters, one of which was written by Laihu'er, the handwriting was sloppy, and the matter was urgent at a glance. He hurriedly read, but the more he read, the more ugly his face became, and when he saw the end, he threw the letter directly on the ground.

The letter to Hu'er was actually very short, and the content of the letter was only one, and their latest reconnaissance learned that Chen Kefu was not dead, but returned to Liaodong the day before he wrote the letter. This is absolutely true, and the spies they broke into Liaodong have already confirmed this information. Chen Kefu sailed from Shandong and went ashore at Beisha Port. On the same day, the civil and military subordinates of Liaodong gathered in Beisha City to greet them, and nearly 300,000 people rushed to the port to greet them.

Moreover, on the same day, Chen Kefu held a ceremony to inspect the soldiers and horses in Beisha City, and the civil and military forces of Liaodong took turns to swear allegiance. And on that day, among the various ethnic groups in Liaodong, the Khitan king Adina, the king of the Yan Dynasty Tudi, the Khitan Dahe clan chief Mohui, and the Silla king Jin Baijing and other envoys stationed in Liaodong all showed Chen Kefu the support of all ethnic groups for him.

The more Yang Guang looked at it, the more angry he became, the whole world, it was not the king's land, the guest of the land, it was not the king's minister. Now that Chen Kefu has returned to Liaodong, all the military and civilian military officials in Liaodong have fallen to Chen Kefu's side, and as a result, his previous strategy of pacifying Liaodong without a fight has completely failed.

"Vertical Ziyan dares to bully" Yang Guangda was furious and kicked over the case in front of him. After a burst of anger, Yang Guang picked up the letter from the ground that he had not finished reading, only to see that there were still a few short lines written on the back of the letter.

"On the third day of the third month of March, Chen Kefu killed the white horse with the Khitan, the Jin, and the Silla families in Beisha City, and had sworn to raise troops in Liaodong and made a bloody alliance. Chen Kefu borrowed 100,000 troops from the three families, merged with 270,000 soldiers and horses in Liaodong, and combined 370,000 troops, claiming to be 500,000, and had already issued an oath to the world."
