Chapter 419 Cleansing May
This event is called the Bloody May.
This event is also known as the May Purge.
In 1133 A.D., in the eighth year of the Song Dynasty, under the bewitchment of the treacherous minister Qin Hui, the emperor launched an order to purge a large number of courtiers and arrest a large number of scholars.
Concentration camps, centralized handlers too!
The historical records of later generations are recorded in this way.
History is a relatively real novel; Fiction is relatively true history.
The real history has long been hidden, leaving only the unreal history, and only revealing the real scales and half claws.
Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, it has been extremely tolerant of literati, and there have been few incidents against literati. The so-called democracy, the so-called tolerance, is more than a failure to violate the bottom line. Once the bottom line is violated, the literati will be suppressed, and there will be no politeness.
At this time, in Hangzhou City, the people were panicked, and the silent fear was expanding, as if the Jin army had entered the city!
In just one day, the entire city of Hangzhou has undergone earth-shaking changes.
First of all, the Guards began to take over the city defense, the whole city began to impose martial law, and then began to arrest literati or officials in some downtown areas and some places where public opinion was concentrated. And the guards who entered the city were very civilized, and did not carry swords, but only wooden sticks and ropes, and those who were not convinced were beaten and tied up; If you are convinced, just tie it up and leave, so as not to be beaten.
In the whole city of Hangzhou, all of a sudden, chickens and dogs jumped, like 100,000 ducks flying around.
In the whole of Hangzhou, there was no bloodshed.
In fact. Before entering the city, the order issued provided for civilized law enforcement.
The so-called civilized law enforcement. It just doesn't bleed. In order to avoid bloodshed, some sharp weapons, weapons of great lethality, are forbidden to be used; It is only the use of sticks as a deterrent weapon and the rope as a weapon for tying people.
To arrest a group of helpless scholars, sticks are enough.
Say yes, Bloody Week!
In fact. It's just a broken scalp, there are blood marks on the body, and it's just a few minor injuries. There were no fatal incidents.
However, for scholars, it is a huge insult.
Scholars, they are all masters. It's all high up in the sky. That's right. Everything is inferior, only the reading is high, the farmer is industrial, and the scholar is the first. In the past, scholars were all high up, despising everything, despying soldiers, and despying Qiuba.
Now. These hills, these ruffians. But it is to fight back with violence, no matter how well you read, it is still beaten with a stick, it is still tied up, as long as it is not dead, everything is easy to say.
Xiucai met Bing, and he couldn't explain it clearly.
Suddenly, more than 5,000 scholars were arrested, hundreds of officials were arrested, and tens of thousands of people were implicated. Of course, there are also some who want the second ancestor, the second generation of officials, some ruffians and hooligans, and some dark forces.
Due to the large number of arrests, the prisons became full, and they had to set up separate concentration camps in the barracks to hold these scholars.
It seems that he is worried about usurpation, and it seems that he is not at ease with the officials, so he simply vacates the officials and the soldiers of the Guards, directly takes over the prison, prohibits all outsiders from viewing, and prohibits all activities.
It's like Chen Qiaoyi mutinied, and Song Taizu usurped the throne as emperor!
It's like the Golden Alliance, Song Taizong is the emperor!
Some scholars just wanted to gather in front of the palace gate to petition, but they were arrested by the guards on the pretext of storming the palace ban.
Although the arrests were ruthless and the wind was very tight, most of them were arrested on the streets and in some downtown areas, and they never broke into the houses to arrest them. Some scholars escaped by hiding in their houses.
Otherwise, the number of jails will be even higher.
The next day, at the sound of gongs, some of the military officials began to walk down the street, began to shout, and began to say the notice of the people.
The officers who calmed people's hearts were mainly Hangzhou natives, mainly some scholars who had a relatively good reputation.
The general content is that some Song Dynasty officials recognized thieves as their fathers and were willing to be lackeys of the Jin army; Some scholars have lost their courtesy, righteousness and shame, aided and abused them, and acted as accomplices of traitors and lackeys. Therefore, they have been arrested, and they must be strictly examined, and until the truth of the matter is clarified, the innocent people will be released one after another, and the guilty will be severely punished.
In this way, I gradually settled down a little bit of people's hearts.
This time, the people of Hangzhou also intuitively realized the strength of the Guards again.
The Guards are the most trusted troops of the emperor, and they are the most loyal to the emperor, with more than 20,000 people, most of whom are from the military academy, and they all have a certain level of education, and there are many well-educated people.
Before the Northern Expedition, the big military parade showed the strong combat effectiveness of the Guards, and the close cooperation of all arms of the army; This time it was a show of the Guard's ruthlessness, ruthlessness, and strict law enforcement. From entering the city to the beginning of the arrest, the whole process was orderly, like a robot, without a trace of emotion.
Many people want to bribe and win over, but they fail; wanted to favor favoritism, but also failed; Nor do they take the opportunity to carry oil and reap the benefits. The whole process is smooth, like a streamlined operation.
The Guards showed a strong charm, which made people feel frightened and feared!
Eight years of military training, now it will be done!
…………
At this moment, as the arrest progressed, some officials began to intercede and asked Zhao Pu for forgiveness.
"Scholars are ignorant, talk about the government in vain, and ask His Majesty for forgiveness!"
"Hangzhou is in a mess, it needs to stop at this moment, please settle the people to settle the world!"
"My dynasty rules the world with scholars, and scholars are the foundation of our dynasty, how can Your Majesty damage the foundation of your own dynasty, mess with our dynasty, and make the Jin army take advantage of the void. At that time, I will be in danger! ”
"The official family must have been deceived by villains, and must have been bewitched by traitorous ministers, otherwise they would have acted so recklessly. Please Your Majesty, wake up quickly, strictly govern the Ming Dynasty, return the world to a clear world, and return the Great Song Lang Lang Qiankun! ”
"Now that the Jin army is outside, the breaking of the gold is just around the corner, don't do anything wrong under Your Majesty!"
"Officials, how can they do unscrupulous things and suppress scholars!"
The officials kneeling outside the palace, one by one, demanded that Zhao Pu stop this meaningless purge, release the scholars, release the arrested officials, and let the world be peaceful again.
In the attic, Zhao Pu was condescending, those voices were clear in his ears, and he watched coldly and ignored them.
Don't you want to kneel, then kneel, as a exercise.
It doesn't matter if you eat the wrong meal, it's just a few days of diarrhea; But if he said the wrong thing, it was not only his own head that fell to the ground, but also countless people who were implicated.
Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, the king is a tiger, moody, eating people or not eating people, it all depends on mood, all on feeling. If you want to control the tiger and keep the tiger as a cat, isn't this looking for death?
"The tiger is not powerful, and I am still a sick cat!" Zhao Pu said lightly, "Ladies and gentlemen, don't you want to kneel?" Then kneeling, there is no monarch and courtier's affection, and there is also a trace of monarch and minister's morality. Drop your parasol outside, get some mung bean soup, and get some snacks. Don't be hungry, don't get sunburned, don't get heatstroke. The point is that those old and frail ministers, those young and strong ministers, a little more sun, can be regarded as a trace of hardship! ‘
One by one, the parasol is sent down, naturally it is impossible for one person, most of them are shared by several people, and the old ones are under the umbrella, and the sunshade effect is good; And some young ones are on the edges, and the shading effect is poor. And at this time, one by one, the waiters sent mung bean soup, which can be regarded as relieving the heat!
With parasols and mung bean soup, some officials finally got better, not only physically, but also in mood - the officials were still sympathetic to the courtiers.
However, these officials still did not leave, but waited quietly.
After a long time, a eunuch walked out.
The eunuch said: "The official family said that there are two major sins in the world, and the sins are unforgivable. The second is to surrender to foreign races and destroy the foundation of China. These scholars read the books of the sages in vain, but unfortunately they still don't know the reason, and they don't know the truth. not to speak for the people who have fallen and suffered in the north; do not speak for the humiliated Jin country and the humiliated second emperor; Do not speak for the exiled and humiliated Prince of the Emperor; Do not speak for the ancestors of China. It's just a barbarian, but it's a Jurchen barbarian, and his heart can be punished! ”
"His body is upright, and he does not give orders; His body is not right, although he does not obey orders. The north fell, and there were many people who entered the Shijin Kingdom as officials and became ministers. Don't these scholars want to recognize the thief as their father and want to be the official of the Jin Kingdom? (To be continued......)
