Chapter 389: A Cup of Blood in the Heavenly Street
"Worth the money? Your face is really big, it is only natural for a saint to send a prince to the town, but how did this unlucky ghost choose the fourth prince? Dugu Xinci laughed.
"How can it be an unlucky ghost? Someone proposed to let the eldest prince Yan Hei come directly, but the sage finally decided to let the fourth prince return to Beijing first, you should understand the meaning of this, right? Feng Yuanyi wanted to continue to get closer to the Heavenly Star General, but his words were still mysterious.
"What do you understand? Not to mention these royal secrets, you are a saint eagle dog, what are you doing with this crown prince? Lao Feng, you can remember, today's sage is in full bloom, if the new emperor ascends the throne, there are records in the history of the fate of a certain and you, and it is possible for those who are not mixed to die well, and those who are mixed? That's the nine clans will all enter the soil steamed buns," Dugu Xinci sneered.
The soil steamed buns are the wild graves outside the city.
"There are not many people in the nine clans of a certain person, uh, you are the same, but it is different if you have the Empress Nalan, okay, the two of them are on the same line, so they should not care about this kind of thing, then you give a certain staff officer, how should Lijingmen be arranged after this rebellion?" Feng Yuan went around and returned to the starting point.
"Cast a wide net? What else can I do? Didn't you say so? Last time, a few observation points that made Qiu Wuxian mess up, how did you abandon them? ”
"Didn't some people say that the people are simple and the officials are honest, how can they use private means to monitor in the prosperous world now?" Feng Yuanyi was also very helpless.
"You are really a good mallet, what should you do if others say that Ru Li competes for the door? Well, this matter is not about something, and the matter of Ru Li Jingmen will not bother a certain person in the future."
"Don't, you're still a guest from Lijingmen? I can see it this time, you are still really conscientious, didn't you say? The two of them are on the same line, and you have to help a certain "Feng Yuanyi is not ashamed.
"Hehe, you are a eunuch, so why don't you have a line with you? Also, the military dependents of the long-term guards have nothing to do, and half of the stove business of Ru Li Jingmen is given to them, "Dugu Xinci understated, but it made Feng Yuanyi and Xiao Yu'er want to hug their heads and cry, this demon wolf Tianxing is really revenge overnight, Lijingmen has hated him, and it is useless to make amends today, this stove business is two or three hundred thousand plates last year, and it will definitely be greatly expanded this year, and this half will go out, and Lijingmen will lose a lot."
"The general handed over the people to a certain person, or is it coordinated by Lijingmen, right?" The little fish hurriedly covered the plate.
"That's right, it's divided into two parts, that will be vicious competition" Feng Yuanyi also came back to his senses.
"The competition is good, so that we can become bigger" Dugu Xinci disagreed.
"You... Okay, this business has a stake in you, can't you leave it alone? Feng Yuanyi was even more helpless.
"How could so-and-so be at odds with money? Now that the weather is getting cooler, you can start work, Chang'an is too small, Luoyang, there are so many states and counties, you should open up the market, this is still used to teach? Dugu Xinci said casually.
Can this be the same? The stove market in Chang'an City has been paved at the beginning of the year, and this year it is a familiar road, and it is not so easy to pick up money, go outside Gyeonggi? Is that a fight with other forces?
Feng Yuanyi knew that this was deliberate by the Great General of the Heavenly Star, but who let Li Jingmen ignore him some time ago? Is this the price?
"Is there anything else you can do? Did you still bring dinner? "Dugu is kind and grinning.
"Isn't it possible to send a certain one, but not to send it? Ate a certain snack? Do you expect this stove business to give some benefits to the children? Feng Yuan got out of the ring with a sigh of relief.
The people of Lijingmen left in a hurry, and Dugu Xinci nested in the big tent to drink tea, and a guest came before he finished drinking a cup of tea.
Wang Hui Shangshu Shi Ran of the Ministry of Officials entered the big tent.
"You are idle," Wang Huishangshu was a little depressed when he saw this leisurely general drinking tea.
"It's okay, you're more leisurely, come to the labor army?" Dugu Xinci didn't complain angrily to go back.
"What kind of army is a certain official coming to work? If you want to work with the army, you won't comfort you, an idle general? ”
"What about you?"
"What kind of food is you rubbing here? Don't talk to you anymore, Song Jingshangshu circled two thousand rebels and handed them over to you for disposal"
"Handed over to a certain disposal? Let the chief guard be the executioner? ”
"It's okay for you to understand it that way"
"Three thousand, two thousand is not enough" Dugu Xinci is also too lazy to ink.
"What do you want so many heads for?"
"Train your hands for the children? Thou seeest that the rebellion seems to be going well from the guards, but what is the difference between this and a parade? The captain of a certain has carried such a big notoriety from the guard, and even the effect of training the troops has been achieved, and a certain loss is great."
"Your thoughts are really peculiar, let's talk about it, where are you going to operate?"
"Didn't you assign a place to a certain station? Just cut on the Sixth Street, oh, it's enough on Chunmingmen Street"
"Is that really good? The blood of Chang'an is strong enough in the past few days, and if you cut off another 3,000 heads, it will frighten the people of Chang'an, besides, so you are afraid that you will have to bear the name of a butcher again? ”
"Does so-and-so care?"
"Okay, I'm worried about you, do you have any thoughts about Jingzhao Mansion Yin?"
"Jingzhao Mansion Yin? What's the matter? By the way, the county order of Wannian County will also be given to someone, and it is not a matter to let someone act all the time? ”
"Is there a difference between you and you in this Wannian County? You are still honestly your hand-shaker, right? ”
"Don't, I'll be able to withdraw from Chang'an tomorrow, and I'm afraid I'll forget where the gate is open in a few days."
"What's the hurry? Besides, although Chang'an Ru will enter in the future, do you think the prince will be able to come back after leaving Beijing this time? ”
"What do you mean? Why can't the prince come back when he leaves Kyoto? ”
"Don't talk about the calf, he won't come back if he doesn't come back in Jingru? The prince of the dignified empire is so irresponsible, he is embarrassed to return to Beijing? If he comes back, he will go and smack him in the face."
"Oh, Ru Dai has a lot of faces, what about the people who followed him out of Beijing?"
"The people of the left guard return to the camp, and the right guard enters Beijing"
"What does a certain concern about them? Fugui Lou Ru should know, what about that concubine Du Wei Zhang? Dugu Xinci inquired about the situation of the competitor.
"That has to be dealt with by the saints"
"Okay, it's okay, so-and-so is a question"
Wang Huishang glanced at General Tianxing and waved his sleeves away.
On August 18 of the second year of Kaiyuan, the sky was gloomy, the gray white cloud layer covered the sun, and Chang'an City was solemn and depressed.
When people who went out according to their daily routine came to the street, they found that the long-term guards who were sleeping soundly yesterday had lined up in full gear, wearing helmets and armor, which made the atmosphere even more solemn.
As soon as the hour came, a team of people poured out from the imperial city, who were the arresters and cell leaders of the Criminal Department, holding a group of prisoners who were tied up with all kinds of flowers.
This group of people escorted the prisoners out of the Suzaku Gate and separated them from east to west, distributing the prisoners all the way to the camps of the Changcong guards along the street.
The chief guard will take the prisoner and kneel down to the street by two sergeants.
"What is this going to do?"
"Didn't you read the notice? I'm going to kill someone."
The spectators were talking.
At first, everyone thought it was strange, and then more and more rebel prisoners were numb when they were taken out, but then they were shocked, this is going to be a big killing? How many people are going to be killed?
In the end, the people from Dali Temple also came out, and the Yushitai also came, so they had to come? Killing 3,000 people on the street at one time was unprecedented in the founding of the country.
The visitors in Chang'an timidly covered their mouths, but they were reluctant to leave, and more and more people got the information.
Some of the guards were separated from the guards and set up cordons on both sides of the street, and the spectators crowded on both sides of the street, and there were so many people that they could see as far as the eye could see.
The spectators gradually fell silent from the noise, this scene is rare in a lifetime.
"Remember, when you will cut the neck with a horizontal knife, aim it, use some force, but you can't use too much force, just force on the waist, be fast, if you don't cut off the neck, you will stab him in the right part of the back with a spear" Each team is teaching killing on the spot.
"You tremble? It's like you killing a pig, what's there to be afraid of? There are also many battalion captains who keep angrily scolding their subordinates who are not angry.
The prisoners already knew their fate, some of them had been gagged for wailing, some had broken their ankles and ankles for breaking free, and some were so frightened that they were beaten half to death before they died.
"Isn't there enough atmosphere?" Dugu Xinci, the general of Suwei Tianxing, sat in the middle of the ring in front of the Suzaku Gate, Wang Hui, the secretary of the Ministry of Justice, Wei Kang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Li Chaoyin, the secretary of Dali Temple, Cui Yinfu, the imperial historian, Feng Yuan, the chief manager of Lijingmen, and all the ministers of Zhu Zi sat left and right.
Guo Zhiyun, the chief of the guard, was in charge of Chunmingmen, and Cheng Wei was humbly watching from Jinguangmen.
"What kind of atmosphere do you want?" Left-handed Wang Huishangshu asked.
"Xiao Yu'er, you go to find a few aunts, and cry everywhere to have an atmosphere? This killing is not fun, there is no atmosphere," Dugu Xinci shouted to the hairpin of the standing Lijing Gate, making the fish Chaoen.
Xiao Yu'er looked at his own chief manager, Feng Yuan glared, "Go, today the Tianxing General is the supervisor and beheader."
Xiao Yu'er hurried away, but Feng Yuanyi complained, "You will support someone"
"Huh? Isn't a guest from Lijingmen? Didn't the saint let someone take charge of Gyeonggi-do's Yeeongjeongmen? "Dugu Xinci is dissatisfied.
"Well, what you said is," Feng Yuanyi immediately knew that he had said the wrong thing.
"Do you want to invite the Buddhist Taoist sect to do a Dharma service afterwards?" Wei Kangshangshu of the Criminal Department is a little weak in his heart, these three thousand unjust souls go to heaven, can Chang'an still be peaceful?
"That's your business, in the afternoon, I will go out of the city after handing over to the third princess and the fourth prince," Dugu Xinci said with a smile, a little gloating.
The 10,000 horses of the third princess Yan Junluan's right guard have arrived outside the Jinguang Gate, and the fourth prince Yan Heng has also arrived at Baqiao from Luoyang with 10,000 right guards.
In less than half an hour, there were many half-old ladies on the street, all wailing and crying, and the gloom in Chang'an City was even more gloomy.
"How miserable is your death?"
"Wronged"
"Song Shangshu is gracious, don't kill it"
Xiao Yu'er is also clever, and ordered these old ladies to pull Song Jing in by the way, as if the lives of these people were taken away by Song Jing's Shangshu.
A group of fake mourners appeared, and the families of the real prisoners didn't care about being implicated, and they also began to mourn, and the scene became a little chaotic.
"That's the atmosphere you said?" Li Chaoyin, the secretary of Dali Temple, laughed.
"This is the truth, what is it like for the dead not to cry and mourn? Let the sons and daughters cheer up, and be careful of people robbing the law field" Dugu Xinci ordered several staff officers from the guards to go down to inspect.
"Each battalion listens to the order, each on its own alert, be careful of the murderers robbing the law field, and those who cross the line will not be killed" Guo Ziyi, Ge Shuhan and others quickly galloped and shouted on the long street, and immediately stopped the chaotic situation.
At this moment, a group of bald monks poured from both sides of the street, and a red-clothed mage was Master Kukai, and Dugu Xinci asked the guards of the Changcong Guards to invite them to the stage.
"Master Kukai is not harmed" Dugu Xinci got up, and everyone also left their seats to show their respect for Master Kukai.
"The general of Tianxing is well, a certain Buddha has come to recite a requiem mantra for the undead, to calm the grievances of this Chang'an City, and I hope that the general will be fulfilled" Master Kukai chanted the Buddha's request.
"You can't ask for something, do you have any objections?" Dugu Xinci asked the ministers around him.
"It's still the mercy of Grand Master Kukai, and a certain amount of nature will make it convenient" Several ministers have no choice.
So a group of monks scattered out into the street and began to sit cross-legged and recite the mantra of death.
As soon as noon arrived, Dugu Xinci grabbed a life and death pick and came to the ring, threw the life and death fire stick, and shouted, "The hour has come, open the cut"
"The time has come, open the beheading" The sergeants on both sides of the guards instantly spread the order to both sides, and suddenly Chunmingmen Street began to be restless.
The executioners of each battalion drew the death cards from the prisoners' backs, and two held them down, and one raised his sword.
Each team is giving an order to "cut"
The hand is up and down, and some heads fall to the ground and roll, but there are still many who miss, and many of them are cut on the skull or on the shoulder blades.
The roars of the "mending knife" team came and went.
So there are people with guns and knives who continue to slash and kill.
The condemned prisoners were gagged and unable to wail, but the exclamations of the spectators were noisy.
The blood sprayed from the necks of the dead criminals suddenly changed color on both sides of the long street, and gradually converging.
Chunmingmen Street in Chang'an suddenly smelled fishy.
"You can't kill anyone with a mallet," many of the annoyed and angry teams began to hit their subordinates with their scabbards and guns.
"Execution completed" was noisy for nearly a quarter of an hour, and the teams of the battalions were beginning to report loudly.
"Okay, each army will leave one battalion to deal with the aftermath, and the others will sort out the Chunming Gate, and return to the camp after a certain time" Dugu Xinci and other battalions issued a military order after the ceremony.
In less than three moments, the soldiers and horses of the right guard entered the city from the Jinguang Gate to take over the defense.
Shen Shi, who had been in Chang'an City for two nights and three days, withdrew from Chang'an with the entire army of Suwei.
At three o'clock, the fourth prince Yan Heng led the right guard to take over the defense of the imperial city.
The corpses of the condemned prisoners were taken away by their families, and the other was handed over to the Criminal Department for disposal.
The fourth prince Yan Heng and the third princess Yan Junluan rode down the street side by side, their faces solemn.
"Three thousand heads fell to the ground, and the saint was angry this time," Yan Heng sighed.
"Isn't it the Heavenly Star General who coerced the six departments and forced them to kill people in the street?" Yan Junluan, the general of the Right Weiwei, was the only actual leading general in the empire, and asked in a deep voice at this moment.
"Without the will of the saint, how dare the Great General of the Heavenly Star kill people at will?"
"What King Zhong said is," Yan Junluan said sullenly.
"The third sister should call the fourth brother, Zhong Wang is not used to hearing it," Yan Heng said with a smile.
"Okay, fourth brother, the sage sent you back to Beijing first, but there is an edict?"
"The sage asked a certain person to obey Song Jingshang's placement, but he didn't say what he wanted"
"Yes, then let's go and see Song Jingshangshu, right?"
"That's what it means"
The royal respite is boundless, and the grasshoppers are not self-sufficient.
did not make a cup of blood in the heavenly street, and temporarily jumped off the beam in the valley.
