Chapter 423 Book of Repentance

"Isn't this a bit too much?" Yu Yunwen was a little unbearable.

Although Yu Yunwen graduated from the Martial Arts Academy and was a soldier of the Great Song Dynasty, he was still a scholar in essence. Now looking at it, the emperor killed literati, killed a batch, exiled a batch, released a batch, and beat a batch, and felt unbearable.

"In this purge, I don't know how many people have been implicated and wronged!"

Li Ruoshui said: "What if there is an unjust, false and wrongful case? At this moment, who cares about unjust, false and wrongful cases, there are too many people who are unjustly killed every day in the world, and there is nowhere to say that they are wronged! ”

Yu Yunwen said: "I don't know how much blood will be shed......

"Since ancient times, there has been no war without bloodshed, either the blood of the enemy or your own blood, and the blood of the enemy is better than your own blood!" Li Ruoshui said: "Since the founding of our dynasty, there has been a dispute between the north and the south, a dispute between civil and military, which was originally nothing. But if you put the struggle between each other above the life and death of the country, you deserve to die! ”

There was murderous intent in his tone, and the scholar did not have a good impression of the literati.

Yu Yunwen sighed faintly in his heart, and he didn't speak

You can't live if you do your own evil!

…………

Three days passed quickly.

Three days, for ordinary people, is just a blink of an eye, but for those who are arrested, it is extremely tormenting, and there is a feeling of living like a year.

At this moment, the reader once again saw the horror of this emperor.

For three days, he was confined like cattle and sheep, and then he was scolded by some generals, mainly for the scholars, for being ungrateful. Forgot the people of the north, forgot the second emperor, and forgot the shame of Jingkang.

Many of these generals were acquaintances. It's a former classmate and friend, or a student of the same science, or a relative, and some of the relationships are very good. But at this moment, there is no trace of affection at all. These former friends are now wearing battle armor and looking murderous. The intimacy of the past is no longer the same.

The Wubei School is like a feng shui ridge, which will be the former scholars. The former friends have turned into two classes.

In the eyes of the students of these martial arts schools, these scholars are national thieves, or "preparatory national thieves".

"We and other soldiers worked hard and fought hard. A hundred battles are difficult. The total number is a little gain, and the great cause can be expected. But you are bewitched by traitors, thinking about peace everywhere, thinking about forgetting war and dying everywhere, and saying that the emperor is warlike today, what kind of intentions are you? ”

"The emperor said that peace can be discussed. Withdraw from the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun and return to the Second Emperor. Kill Zong Han, only by agreeing to the three articles can he negotiate peace. If you dare to forget the shame of Jingkang and the people of the north, you will negotiate peace with the Jin army. ”

"Readers, you can read poorly, but you can't sit in the wrong position!"

"No one can save you, only by writing a letter of repentance can there be a glimmer of life!"

One by one, a piece of paper was sent to the arrested reader, asking him to write a letter of repentance and review his mistakes. Writing a letter of repentance, there is still a glimmer of life; If you are stubborn, you will not repent of death, and you will not mind wielding a knife and slashing and killing.

The readers present only felt extremely bitter.

used to be the pride of the sky and the darling of the Great Song Dynasty, but at this moment he is aggrieved to the extreme. I knew this was the case, why bother talking nonsense at the beginning, why talk nonsense, and now it has caused trouble.

In the midst of their grievances, some readers began to write "confessional books".

Of course, there are also some scholars who swore to fight to the death, and as a result, they were labeled as collaborators and treason; There are also some scholars who are not convinced, and commit suicide to be completely chaste, and as a result, they are labeled as suicide in fear of sin; There are also some scholars who want to rely on relationships and avoid repentant books, and as a result, their sins are added to the third degree......

The brutal truth once again illustrates that don't take yourself too seriously.

Without you, Taiyuan would still turn the same way, and the earth would still turn the same way.

In the Great Song Dynasty, scholars are very important, but without scholars, the Great Song Dynasty will not perish. Moreover, the number of scholars is huge, people's hearts are mixed, and it is almost impossible to want tens of millions of people to have one heart, and there is no need to completely defeat them, but only need to divide and decompose, beat a group, pull a group, kill a group, and transform a group.

Seemingly united readers will fall apart and turn into scattered sand, obedient.

Soon, several boxes of letters of repentance were delivered to the palace.

Opening the bookcase, Zhao Pu looked at the book of repentance, and was extremely satisfied.

Ten days later, the entire vigorous purge came to an end for the time being.

Among the people arrested, about 500 people were executed for colluding with the Jin army; 3,000 people were exiled to the island of Taiwan under the pretext of being misguided and seduced by the Jin army; More than a thousand people, acquitted.

Those who were killed, more or less colluded with the Jin Army, or betrayed intelligence, or sold some materials to the Jin Army, or surrendered to the Jin Army, all have clear evidence, and there is no way to survive at all. There is no doubt that it will be killed, and not killing is not enough to anger the people, and not killing is not enough to correct people's hearts.

And the exiles are mainly those who are shaken. In the court, their father, or uncle's generation, all put forward the intention of peace.

Those who were acquitted were more of the hardcore anti-gold factions.

And many more, stripped of their fame.

The purge, which seems to be huge, is actually only limited to one city in Hangzhou, and only lasted ten days. Some forces simply didn't have time to organize forces to fight back, they didn't have time to think about countermeasures, and some came to a conclusion when they were still arguing, and the dust had settled!

All this is just over for the time being, and it is not completely over, and the impact of the later period is still expanding.

Then, the imperial court announced the establishment of a propaganda department to monitor public opinion, and invested 2 million yuan a year to publicize the anti-gold resistance and fight the surrender peace;

Then, the Qinglou in the Jiangnan area began to rectify, prohibiting the singing of some prohibited repertoire, and only the prescribed repertoire can be sung;

Then, the first national sports event of the Great Song Dynasty was held, mainly including 10,000-meter run, javelin running, rugby, etc.;

Then, the Great Song Wubei School was renamed "Great Song National Defense University", the campus is gorgeous, comparable to the imperial palace, and outstanding students from various states and counties are given priority;

All kinds of vigorous activities began, transforming the living Song Dynasty and the entire scholar class.

Suddenly, looking back, some readers were surprised to find that the Great Song Dynasty was changing violently, so fast that they were dumbfounded. In this confrontation, the gentry lost again and again, whether they were willing or not, whether they accepted it or not, these gentry could only let the emperor devour their interests again and again.

Scholars are testing the bottom line of this emperor; And Zhao Pu is also testing the bottom line of readers.

As for the application of power techniques, Zhao Pu is also becoming more and more proficient; For the use of some unspoken rules, Zhao Pu is also becoming more and more shrewd.

This is an era of imperial supremacy, but there is no such thing as democracy.

Although the emperor of the Song Dynasty often said that the king and the scholars ruled the world together, it was only talk, and whoever took it seriously was a fool. In essence, it was to suppress the warriors with the help of scholars, so as to implement the balance of imperial power.

At this moment, Zhao Pu is using martial artists to suppress scholars.

In the face of Zhao Pu's suppression, the counterattack of the scholars and doctors was very weak.

The power of the scholar is very strong, but the power is also very scattered, and it is okay to seek some small interests in ordinary times, but once it encounters a major event, it will fall apart almost instantly.

This purge incident is essentially a suppression of scholars.

But the doctors' counterattack was very weak, except for protest, it was protest. However, without the support of the general cause, the support of public opinion, the support of the army, the support of the people, and the financial support, the so-called protest is of no use at all.

Zhao Pu also came to a conclusion: as long as a king controls the army, finances, and public opinion, as long as he does not do things that anger the heavens and people, as long as he does not do things that betray his relatives, he is almost invincible.

…………

In Hangzhou, when a huge purge was being carried out, Qin Hui was negotiating in the city of Qingzhou.

It's just that this negotiation is a torment for him.

And the representative of the Jin Army negotiators is Wan Yanchang!

Once, Wan Yanchang led his troops to occupy Shandong, which was strong in the prosperous era, and later until Huaibei, and the horse stepped on the south of the Yangtze River. It was only with the reversal of the war that the situation of the war changed drastically, and the Jin army was everywhere on the battlefield, and even lost part of Shandong.

The former Qingzhou City once again fell into the hands of the Song Dynasty.

The venue of the negotiations was also set in Qingzhou, Shandong.

"Qin Hui, long time no see!" Wan Yanchang smiled.

"Yes, the world is unpredictable. Originally, he returned to the south, thinking of peace between Song and Jin, and ruled by dividing the river, just like the Northern and Southern Dynasties; However, the official family has a stubborn personality, and it seems that it is not feasible for the Jin Kingdom to rule by dividing the river! Qin Hui's expression was a little calm, but he was a little frightened in his heart.

After all, the "letter of repentance" was in the hands of the Jin people, and that was the handle of the Jin people to restrain him, and he had to obey it.

It's just that looking at the situation now, it seems impossible for Song Jin to negotiate peace.

Qin Hui didn't think that he could rely on his incorruptible tongue to persuade Zhao Pu to quit the army! (To be continued......)
