Chapter 1042 Laughing like a knife

There was no quiet in Chang'an City all night, and this incident naturally left a very strong mark in the later history books, and even an allusion was circulated...... The town is caught at night. Chang'an City has not lacked such shocking events in recent years, but no matter which one happened before, it was more uneasy to feel uneasy than not being able to solve the arrest this night. When Yiwang Yang Yin rebelled, Emperor Tianyou also ordered people to be arrested all over the city, and tens of thousands of officials and family members were killed, and the carriage that transported the corpses outside the city every day at the entrance of the vegetable market was not enough.

Yang Jian didn't kill many people when he first returned to the court, but Yang Jian didn't kill many courtiers and officials.

Wei Mu is a murderer in Chang'an, but in the eyes of others, he is just a madman.

And the whole night when Fang Jie's subordinates arrested people represented another meaning in the eyes of those discerning people. No matter how the people before killed people, the sky in Chang'an City has not changed. But Fang Jie's move this time may indicate that a new sky is about to cover Chang'an City.

This is a signal, a signal that the solution wants to completely stabilize the court.

Fang Xie didn't kill in Chang'an City, but this doesn't mean that Fang Xie won't kill after entering the city. It's just that most of the successful people in history will not kill the welcome people in the middle of the road. While most of these welcomers are hypocritical speculators, those who succeed have to learn to embrace it all.

However, it is clear that Fang Xie did not intend to accept it.

After a while, the Yamen of Chang'an Mansion was taken over by a large number of Xiao Cavalry School, and all the officials on duty at night were thrown directly into the prison with weapons. It didn't take long for them to have a lot of companions. There are many yamen prisons in the Xiao Riding School, but they can't keep these people, and the cells in Chang'an Mansion are soon overcrowded.

By the time dawn came, the cells of the Punishment Department were full.

Even so, a large number of prisoners were taken to the Black Flag Army camp for control. It's impossible to guess how many people were arrested that night, but there is no doubt that the number must be particularly staggering.

There was no unexpected expectation, after Pei Dazhi, the governor of Chang'an Mansion, was taken down, the old people of the various families who had been in Chang'an City for many years could not sit still, and the carriages that stopped outside Changchun Garden were one after another. Fang Xie didn't see any of them, but let people remember where these people came from.

The appearance of these people, even if Fang Xie doesn't see them at all, is a big gain.

When it was time for the morning dynasty, Fang Xie washed up and changed into court clothes, and came out of Changchun Garden and went straight to Taiji Palace. Although Yang Qinyan, the eldest princess of the Great Sui, has handed over all the court affairs to him for decision, he is still nominally a courtier of the Great Sui, so the eldest princess still has to preside over the morning court every morning, but she has handed it over to Fang Xie and will not make any decisions at the court meeting. She didn't seem to be in the mood or desire to face these court ministers, relatively speaking, she preferred to stay in a daze by the window in her original residence in the Taiji Palace for the whole afternoon.

There were many, many fewer people coming to the court today than usual, so that the already empty Taiji Hall seemed even more empty. Except for the civil and military generals of the Black Flag Army, all the officials of the various yamen are vacant. No one knows what happened last night now, so the faces of those courtiers outside the Black Flag Army are extremely solemn.

No one knows what Fang Xie will do next. And these people were not taken down last night, who knows if a large number of Xiao Riding Schools will pour in at the Ludao Dynasty and capture them all? But they didn't dare not come, because if they didn't come, they would clearly give Fang Xie a reason to start.

In the past, before the court, the courtiers would gather together in twos and threes to whisper, and even after entering the main hall, someone would talk to each other from time to time. But today, everyone is quiet.

After Fang Xie walked into the main hall, the courtiers turned their heads to look at him, and then they all quickly lowered their heads. No one dared to look at Fang Jie's eyes, as if they could release poisonous arrows from those eyes.

As soon as Fang Xie entered the main hall, the civil and military generals from the Black Flag Army bowed down at the same time to salute: "I've seen the lord!" ”

Compared to the other courtiers who were stupid and frightened, it was very different.

Fang Xie waved his hand and walked to the front of the queue to stand still. Originally, Yang Qinyan arranged a seat for him, but Fang Xie refused to accept it. It wasn't until Fang Xie got to his position and stood up that the subordinates of the Black Flag Army straightened up. Compared with those restless courtiers, the people of the Black Flag Army were extremely indifferent, as if nothing had happened last night.

At this time, Mu San came from the direction of the inner court, and after entering the main hall, he first greeted Fang Jie, and then stood up straight and said loudly: "Her Royal Highness the princess said that she will not come to the early court today." All the ministers of the court have reported to the town and the country, and the decision of the town and the country is decided. ”

As soon as these words came out, the courtiers all gasped.

They all thought that this eldest princess Yang Qinyan could be bullied, but now I can see that this woman's mind is really terrifying. Last night, Fang Xie let the Black Flag Army take so many people, it is impossible for Yang Qinyan not to know what to do. I won't come to the early court today, obviously to avoid this matter. Now it's okay, the eldest princess put aside this matter and pretended not to know, ignored it, and let it be resolved. Those who originally planned to use the eldest princess couldn't even see her shadow.

In fact, many people went outside the Taiji Palace last night and asked to meet Her Royal Highness the Princess. But Yang Qinyan asked people outside to tell people outside that Taiji Palace does not open at night, this is the rule, no matter how big it is, it must be discussed until tomorrow morning. Those who had eaten the closed door had to wait, but she didn't come at all.

……

……

Mu San looked at the faces of those courtiers, and couldn't help but feel a little proud and a little depressed in his heart. He is now a legitimate official, but because he is a eunuch, it is the most convenient way to enter and exit the Taiji Palace, so he is still in charge of the affairs of the palace for the time being. Although this feeling of being the head of the harem is very refreshing, he wants to stand in the Taiji Hall and participate in political affairs like the rest of the Black Flag Army.

"Last night."

Fang Xie turned to look at the courtiers, his eyes slowly sweeping.

"The Xiao Cavalry School and my own military camp have taken some people, and those who are still here are at ease, what I ordered to take are all people who are not good for the imperial court. As for what sins have been overturned, there will be a notice when you turn back. I'm just going to tell you a few people about what I want to do with them. ”

"A while ago, there were rebels in Chang'an City, who controlled the government, deposed hundreds of officials, and sentenced the monarch to death. This person does not show his true face, so many people still do not know his identity. Later, it was rumored that this person was Emperor Taizu of the Great Sui...... What nonsense. The person who made up such a lie has a clear intention of subverting the Great Sui. It's ridiculous that there are still people who believe such lies. ”

"As far as I know, most of the royal children in the city died at the hands of this person. If this person was resurrected by Emperor Taizu, would he do the vicious thing of slaughtering his own descendants? Such an obvious truth is not understood by many people. During those days, I was afraid that you were all in this Tai Chi Palace, right? I have never forced everyone to maintain an unchanged loyalty to the Great Sui, and it is understandable that I am forced to compromise and seek perfection out of desperation. That's why I don't hold you accountable, because you're just trying to get things done, and you're not doing anything from thieves. ”

"If a traitor kills so many royal dignitaries, if such a sin can be indulged, what is the difference with a traitor? Lou Kongyu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Wu Hao, the waiter, Duan Chun, the secretary of Dali Temple, and Pei Dazhi, the governor of Chang'an...... These people, who held the power to maintain the law and order of the Great Sui, became accomplices of the rebels in the rebellion. Needless to say, you also know better than me how many of the royal families in Chang'an City were personally led by a few of them to arrest them. ”

Fang Xie paused for a moment and continued: "The eldest princess didn't come to the early court because she couldn't face such a person and still stand in the court!" ”

The courtiers bowed their heads, and no one dared to intervene.

"I thought that after entering the city, I would sincerely cooperate with all the ministers to stabilize Chang'an and even the world. But that's just wishful thinking on my part...... The wicked have their own wicked rule, I will come to be this wicked man who governs the wicked, and in troubled times, I should use heavy canons, I will only say these words once, and I will not mention them again in the future. ”

"There's something I'd like to discuss with you."

Fang Xie paced slowly in the main hall: "The Xiaoqi School Yamen has been interrogated overnight since last night, and no one can hide secrets in the Xiaoqi School Yamen. But...... After all, the manpower of the Xiao Riding School is limited, and I am not busy with other things these days...... After a while, Dugu, you will coordinate and arrange, and everyone in the court will go to interrogate this morning. ”

Fang Xie smiled: "There is another advantage to this, no matter how strong the means are, Xiao Riding School is not familiar with the things in Chang'an City after all." The arrested ones have known you for many years, and you don't need to interrogate them to know what secrets they have, as long as you see you sitting there, you can't let them not recruit. ”

As soon as he finished saying this, the Manchu Dynasty was shocked.

Vicious!

Fang Jie's move is too ruthless.

Let the courtiers interrogate the courtiers, and one of the former colleagues sat in the hall and tried the other as prisoners. Both the prisoner and the inquisitor know each other very well, and they can't hide any filth. If this kind of interrogation continues, it may not turn the people sitting in the lobby into prisoners.

If the trial continues like this, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are afraid that there will not be one left.

At this time, the courtiers were not only frightened but also angry in their hearts, and Fang Xie clearly wanted to wipe them out.

"This ......"

After the little emperor ascended the throne, Yu Aishan, the old minister who was re-invited, groaned, took a step forward and bowed down and said: "Grandpa Guo's method is very tight, so that those who do evil will have nowhere to hide." It's just that...... The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were involved in this matter, and it was impossible to estimate that there were other things in the court, and the court stopped, which was not beneficial to the people. In the opinion of the old ministers, it is better to ask all the ministers to return home, do their best to think about what the sins of the traitors who were caught, and then write a note and submit it to the grandfather. ”

In fact, when I say this, I am bargaining. He has completely ignored everything else, if you want to know that Lu Dao said this, Fang Xie can ask him, what crimes do those people have, since you all know Lu Dao, why don't you expose them? If Fang Xie asked, it would be a dead end, and there would be no solution. If Fang Xie doesn't ask, then there is room for relaxation.

I have to say that Jiang is still old and spicy, Yu Aishan's move seems to have forced him to have no way out, why not retreat?

"Makes sense."

Fang Xie smiled slightly: "Then so be it, you will have to think more about it when you go back." Those traitors don't die, but after all, they're still sorry for the dead souls, right? ”

The implication of this is that if those people do not die, you may also be bitten to death.

"But it's up to the grandfather of the country to decide!"

Yu Aishan breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, and quietly wiped the sweat from his palms in his cuffs.

Fang Xie This is the real force to die without paying for his life, and leaving the life and death of those who are arrested to the courtiers to decide. In order to protect themselves, the rest of the people can only put the captured people to death. However, it is obvious that Fang Xie does not intend to really kill the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, since there is room for it, then they can still get along in the future.

Yu Aishan secretly glanced at Fang Jie, the smile on the corner of the young man's mouth was so gentle, but it was like a knife.
