Chapter 145 The chess piece abandons the child
Huo Guang first went to Hanoi County to quell the turmoil, but it was just to avoid the turmoil of the Confession Order. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Qing * Shou * Fa" and build Hanoi as the foundation of his own power, this is actually what Huo Guang only thought of recently. But after thinking of these, Huo Guang once again remembered Wang Huaigu who came up with this strategy, Huo Guang didn't know if Wang Huaigu thought that when he came up with this strategy, he could build a solid foundation by quelling the chaos, if he even thought of this step, then Wang Huaigu would be too powerful. Now Huo Guang has some regrets about letting Wang Huaigu leave at that time, if he can keep this person by his side, it is equivalent to having a Zhuge Liang by his side.
Of course, Huo Guang can only think about these thoughts, not to mention where Wang Huaigu is now, even if this person is around, it is difficult to say whether he is willing to help Huo Guang. Huo Quang is not an idealist, everything pays attention to practical actions and pays attention to the present, so the top priority is how to run Hanoi.
The operation of Hanoi County must be completed in the process of eradicating the bandits, so the focus is on how to control the progress of the bandits. And this is also the question that Huo Guang just asked.
"This matter is indeed a bit difficult to do, if the rebellion is quelled too early, the king will soon return to Chang'an, and this is contrary to the original intention of the king. But if it drags on too long, His Majesty will definitely not be happy, and the gain will outweigh the loss. Du Yannian thought about it and said, the four words of self-respect for bandits are simple to say, but it is very difficult to do well.
"That's why I'm talking to you two about it. And that Bai Zheng also has some ability, so it's best to think of a perfect plan. Huo Guang said.
"Your Excellency, my subordinates have thought of a way, but if you do this, I'm afraid it will hurt the peace!" Dongfang Shuo thought for a while and said, but he seemed to be very entangled in whether this method should be used or not.
"What's the solution? Let's start with that. Huo Guangdao.
"My subordinates have already checked, and there are not many grain reserves in the counties of Hanoi County. If our army besieges and cultivates martial arts, the grain and grass in the city will inevitably run out within a month. At that time, Bai Zheng and his gang will only have to go out of the city to fight, and it will be up to the king to decide how to win next! Dao.
Huo Guang nodded slightly when he heard this, he knew that the reason why Dongfang Shuo's method was said to hurt Tianhe was because once there was no food in Xiuwu City, the bandits would definitely rob the civilians in the city of food, and at that time, thousands of civilians in the city would likely be starved to death. However, Huo Guang still said: "This is a good way, but it is difficult for the ordinary people in the Martial Arts City." ”
"In fact, once Bai Zheng robbed the people of Xiuwu of food, this was a good thing. The so-called ordinary people refer to ordinary people, and now these bandits were not all ordinary civilians not long ago? Dongfang Shuo continued. As soon as these words came out, Huo Guang and Du Yannian both nodded.
As Dongfang Shuo said. Once Bai Zheng robbed the food of the civilians in Xiuwu County, then Xiuwu County would be the first to become chaotic, and the original civilians would become chaotic people without the guarantee of food, and the first object of hatred of these people would definitely be Bai Zheng's gang who robbed them of their own food.
"Okay, that's it. Then I ordered Zhu Wu and Zhu Wu to lead troops to besiege Xiuwu. Huo Guang immediately made a decision and agreed to this plan, but this time Huo Guang did not plan to go in person, but only handed over the matter to Zhu Wuzhi and Zhu Wu.
When Huo Guang was planning his big time in Hanoi County, Chang'an City was already in turmoil. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty went to Ganquan Palace. At this time, Prime Minister Zhuang Qing, General Zhai Qing and others were surprisingly low-key, and almost did not appear in public. Because of the relationship between the edicts, today's Chang'an has almost become the dominant family of Tingwei Yang Ke.
Under the oppression of Yang Ke, the most uncomfortable ones were naturally the Neishi Yizong and the great farmer Ling Sanghong sheep. Yang Ke sent envoys to each county in the internal history, and at first these envoys still performed their duties, but gradually these people became more and more arrogant, and faintly began to interfere in the administrative affairs of the counties on the grounds of accusations. And the big agricultural order yamen managed by Sang Hongyang, because many policies cannot be carried out because of the relationship between the decree and the order, and now it feels a little useless.
"Presumptuous...... These bullshit accusations make the guts too big. Come. Immediately mobilize the soldiers of the Inner History Mansion, and this official will arrest all these people! Yi Zong roared angrily in the Inner History Mansion, just now someone came to report. It is said that the envoy sent by Yang Ke actually seized many shops in Chang'an City.
"Adults and slow, even if you want to arrest these people, there should be a reason, after all, they all have official positions!" Nei Shi Cheng hurriedly said behind Yi Zong. These days, Yizong has been holding back his anger at this moment, Nei Shicheng knows that persuasion can't persuade Yizong, so he can only find a way to avoid trouble as much as possible, and in his heart, he naturally doesn't want Yizong to be arrested because of a moment of anger.
"What else do you want, these people are just disturbing the people's hearts. Hindering people's livelihood should be caught first. Yi Zong said without thinking, in his opinion, this was already the best reason, and in fact, the act of the envoy did cause this to happen.
Soon, Yizong took hundreds of soldiers out of the Inner History Mansion. The news of the arrest of Yizong soon spread throughout Chang'an, and naturally fell into the ears of Yang Ke and Sang Hongyang.
Hearing the news, the two reacted diametrically opposed. Yang Ke sneered, not excited at all, but said in a dark voice: "Hehe, good for you, Ben Tingwei doesn't embarrass you, you have nothing to do, I'm afraid no one can save you this time!" ”
Yang Ke sneered in his heart, but he didn't start to save his subordinates. Instead, after packing up for a while, he rode directly on the fast horse and went to Ganquan Palace.
"Confused...... Yizong is really confused, so who can save him! Alas, could I only go to him for help? Let's give it a try! Sang Hongyang heard that Yizong had captured some of the envoys, and immediately stomped his feet in anger, and he regretted that he quickly made a decision, and then a messenger left Chang'an with Sang Hongyang's letter, and the direction of this messenger turned out to be Hanoi County, which is now in the midst of war.
Sang Hongyang's messenger had not yet reached Hanoi, and Yang Ke had already arrived at Ganquan Palace in person. Now he can be described as a celebrity in front of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and he easily met Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. As soon as Yang Ke saw Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he looked distressed, and said something about the righteous obstruction order.
As soon as Yang Kecai finished speaking, Emperor Wu of Han was furious. First, Yang Ke sued to obtain the world's wealth to fill the treasury, which made Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty very happy, but at this time, Yizong made Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty feel guilty because of the delay in recuperation. This made Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty feel that even though Yi was openly opposed to him, the officials who were originally valued by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had become the object of disgust at this time.
"Su Wen, pass on my will to arrest Yizong immediately, and let Tingwei Zhengdu Shi strictly try it. The post of internal history is temporarily represented by Yang Ke, the court captain. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty immediately made a decree, Yizong was completely down, and Yang Ke became the real winner.
A few days later, Tingwei Zheng Du Shi learned about Yi Zong's case, the former high and powerful Right Internal History, now he has become a prisoner under the ranks, and Du Shi is Yang Ke's subordinate, and the crime convicted of Yi Zong this time is not small at all. The crime of sabotaging the execution of the edict is the crime of openly hostile to the emperor, and his crime should be punished. And Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty approved the crime of Yizong this time unusually briskly, which is completely different from the previous situation of protecting Yizong.
In the cell of the Tingwei Mansion, Yi Zong faced the wall in a prison uniform. When he knew his ending, he didn't show any excitement, but he could see that the look in his eyes was gloomy, as if he was instantly disheartened. I only heard Yizong muttering to himself: "After all, it's just a chess piece, and it's time to abandon it." In this life, if you have a clear conscience, what is your fear of death? ”
After saying these words, Yizong suddenly stood up, and then slammed against the wall, and the next moment Yizong's head hit the hard stone wall, and blood flowed in an instant, but he died in a moment.
In the end, Yizong ended his life without going to the execution ground, and this kind of death was also popular in the Western Han Dynasty, and many convicted ministers committed suicide in prison in order to leave the last bit of dignity for themselves. This was the case with Li Cai in the past, the current Yizong is like this, and the same is true for Zhang Tang in the future.
Yizong's death did not cause any uproar, but in an ordinary mansion in Chang'an, a young man of twenty-seven or eighteen was spreading out a roll of bamboo slips and carving it with a knife and pen. At this moment, on the bamboo slip he carved, there is the name of Yizong. This person is Sima Qian, the son of Sima Tan of the current Taishi Ling.
There are many such bamboo slips in Sima Qian's hands, each piece of bamboo slips records an important minister of the dynasty, those who have died Sima Qian will record the bamboo slips completely, and then save them, today Yizong is dead, Sima Qian will belong to the Yizong bamboo slips to complete the complete.
When Sima Qian finished writing the cause of Yizong's death, he stopped his pen and knife to reveal a thoughtful expression, and after a long time, Sima Qian picked up the pen again and carved a few more words at the end of Yizong's bamboo slip.
"Although it is cruel, Si calls it a place" The last seven words fell, Sima Qian blew a breath, blew the powder on the bamboo slips away, and then carefully put the bamboo slips into a wooden box.
A scene similar to Sima Qian's here is actually being staged in Ganquan Palace at this moment. However, what is in Ganquan Palace is not a bamboo slip, but a wide cloth. This piece of cloth was originally hung in the quiet room of Weiyang Palace, and only Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty could see it. Every time Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty left Weiyang Palace, whether it was to Shanglin Yuan or Ganquan Palace, he would take this piece of cloth with him.
And when the news of Yizong's suicide in Tingwei Prison reached Ganquan Palace, Emperor Wu of Han took out this piece of cloth again and drew a circle on Yizong's name.
After doing this action, Emperor Wu of Han did not immediately put away this piece of cloth, but moved his gaze to other places, and the last place where his gaze fell happened to be Huo Guang's name.
