Chapter 33: Razing (1st Update)
As Old Man Gu expected, after the news that Lu Tianshi of Wufeng Mountain was killed by the emperor and thrown to a mass grave to feed the wild dogs and did not get a whole corpse, the government and the opposition were both shocked and sensational, especially Wufeng Mountain, which got the news, exploded all of a sudden.
Lu Tianshi is 90 years old, has established a sect in Wufeng Mountain for more than 70 years, and has many disciples and grandchildren, including thousands of people.
His own ancestor was ordered to enter Beijing, but he was killed by the emperor in one day, thrown into the mass grave, and in a blink of an eye, the body was eaten by the wild dogs of the mass grave, and they couldn't even want to collect a complete corpse, how could they not grieve when they didn't grieve it?
Therefore, when the emperor sent the Ouchi guards to Wufeng Mountain again and summoned those with skills into the palace to exorcise evil spirits for His Majesty, the congregants of Wufeng Mountain not only did not accept the order, but instead joined forces to tie up the Ouchi guards sent by the emperor and put them in the oil pot to comfort Lu Tianshi's spirit in the sky.
After the news spread out of the capital and entered the palace, the emperor was furious, "Thieves should be punished!" ”
Gonggong Zhang sighed, he knew that Lu Tianshi was dead, Wufeng Mountain must have hated His Majesty to death, but His Majesty blocked Zhang Tianshi's words of scolding His Majesty before his death for the sake of fame, and also blocked the real cause of Lu Tianshi's death, but then again, even if Your Majesty does not block, people are dead when they die, Lu Tianshi is fine when he goes down Wufeng Mountain, and he will die when he enters the palace, and this account must be counted on His Majesty's head.
The emperor's forehead was scarred by the high-grade healing ointment smeared by the imperial doctor because of the wound smashed by Lu Tianshi with a dust, but the bandage was really detrimental to his prestige, and he naturally didn't want to lose face in front of the courtiers, so he simply sent a decree to let the king be in charge of the country and continue to reign early.
It has always been rare for the emperor to let the prince and prince supervise the country only when he goes out, but now His Majesty stays in the palace but lets the king Jing supervise the country.
The emperor walked back and forth in the south study twice, and instructed Gonggong Zhang, "Pass Chu Chen." ”
Father-in-law Zhang should have sent someone immediately.
Since Chu Chen was heavily reprimanded and threatened by the emperor that day, he has been very well-behaved, not only did he not forget that the Seven Princes' Mansion ran away, but he also didn't go out to drink with fox friends and dog friends, and he went to the Imperial Observatory every day and returned to the house on time.
On this day, Chu Chen was talking to Prince Shan, and what the ancestors and grandsons said was naturally the death of Lu Tianshi, and the Wufeng Mountain Sect members tied up the Ouchi guards and went down to the oil pot to comfort Lu Tianshi's spirit in the sky.
Prince Shan sighed, "Hey, why are there so many things this year." ”
Chu Chen was noncommittal.
Prince Shan looked at Chu Chen and said, "This time, Your Majesty must be extremely angry, Wufeng Mountain is afraid that it will be razed by Your Majesty's troops." ”
Chu Chen suddenly guessed in horror, "Grandpa, Your Majesty is furious and wants to raze Wufeng Mountain, who will you send?" It can't be me, right? ”
Prince Shan: "......"
With his knowledge of His Majesty, it is really uncertain.
The grandfather and grandson looked at each other and were speechless for a while.
After a while, Chu Chen stood up and paced back and forth, "Grandpa, as the name suggests, Wufeng Mountain is connected with five peaks, and between the five peaks, there is an iron cable suspension bridge, which is interconnected and walked around, becoming one. It is said that the Taoist priests of Wufeng Mountain go up the mountain, they need to climb the ladder of Tianjie, the ladder is very difficult, go straight up and down 99 meters, if ordinary people go up Wufeng Mountain, it is very difficult. Since Wufeng Mountain was occupied by Lu Tianshi's founding sect, it has been repaired for more than 70 years. If there are fewer soldiers and horses, it is not enough to make snacks for the Taoist priests of Wufeng Mountain, and if more soldiers and horses are sent, how many people will have to die to make a big battle? Wufeng Mountain is simply easy to defend and difficult to attack, and if His Majesty sends me there, I will really be a little frightened. ”
Prince Shan's face was also solemn, "But if Your Majesty has an order, how can you do it if you don't go?" Your Majesty is angry, you have offended Your Majesty several times, if you shirk the blame again this time, our Good Prince Mansion will be even more difficult to mix in the capital from now on.
Chu Chen stopped and said this question to Prince Good for the first time, "Grandpa, have you ever thought that our Prince Shan's Mansion will also go to the fiefdom and not stay in the capital?" ”
"Why didn't I think about it?" Prince Shanshan shook his head, "How easy are you to be the prince of the fief?" is not under the nose of His Majesty, it is more difficult to mix, and life is more difficult, once there is a villain in the court, a cup of poisonous wine is given, how to die is confused. ”
Chu Chen: "......"
Why is his life so bad, and his surname is Chu? The little girl disliked his surname Chu, he was sad, and now he himself is disgusted.
"Hey, there's no way, if Your Majesty summons you, you can only analyze the situation of Wufeng Mountain with Your Majesty, and bring more soldiers and horses." Prince Shan was naturally reluctant to let his grandson go, "In short, you just lead the troops, don't go up to Wufeng Mountain in person, you are the commander, command people to attack, no matter what, you can't shirk." ”
"If you want to say that the Taoist priests of Wufeng Mountain really dare, the Ouchi guards sent by His Majesty were fried by them like this. It's really very good, not much worse than the rigidity of the little girl. Chu Chen was a little admiring.
Prince Shan sighed, "Up and down Wufeng Mountain, the Lu Heavenly Master was worshiped as a divine residence, and now that he has been killed by His Majesty, how can the Wufeng Mountain Sect members be willing to do it?" Lu Tianshi can be said to be the belief of Wufeng Mountain, and those believers have no His Majesty in their eyes, only Lu Tianshi. What's more, why is it not just the Wufeng Mountain Sect Sect like this? There are many people in the rivers and lakes who have received the favor of the Lu Heavenly Master. They were also very dissatisfied with His Majesty. ”
Chu Chen immediately said, "I sent someone to inquire about the news, it is said that it was not Your Majesty who killed Lu Tianshi, but Lu Tianshi died on the way out of His Majesty's noon gate, and before he was executed, he was angry." ”
"It's good for a person to enter Beijing, and he died in the palace, and he died on the way out of the noon gate, which is not much different from being killed by His Majesty. After all, after the person died, His Majesty sent the body to the mass grave to feed the wild dogs, which was the root of the anger of the followers in Wufeng Mountain. ”
Chu Chen nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty is really ......"
It's hard to put into words!
Sitting on a high place, he really doesn't know anything about the things in the rivers and lakes, Chu Lan, that bastard is by his side, and he can't even think of a word of dissuasion, everyone is dead, just send the body back to Wufeng Mountain? What dogs to feed? King Jing, who doesn't understand, how can He De sit on the throne in the future? If the world lets him sit, what is the difference between him and today's majesty, maybe it is not as good as today's majesty.
The two grandfathers and grandsons did not speak here, and the father-in-law who passed the decree entered the palace of Prince Shan.
Prince Shan and Chu Chen glanced at each other and asked what His Majesty the father-in-law who had passed the decree had called? The little father-in-law who passed the decree couldn't say why, only that His Majesty was very angry, and ordered the little prince to be summoned into the palace immediately.
Chu Chen understood, his guess was really accurate, His Majesty was going to let him raze Wufeng Mountain.
He followed the father-in-law who passed the decree into the palace, came to the south study, saw His Majesty, was startled, and immediately asked with concern after saluting the emperor, "Uncle Huang, what are you ...... What happened to the forehead? ”
The emperor thought that the blockade had worked, and said lightly, "I accidentally fell." ”
Chu Chen immediately said, "You have to be careful about the dragon body. When the words fell, he pointed at Zhang's father-in-law, "Father-in-law, this is your inability to take care of it." ”
Gonggong Zhang cooperated with Chu Chen in a good manner, "Yes, yes, the old slave should be damned, the old slave is not taken care of, and the two clever ones will be brought up to serve Your Majesty another day, which is better than the movements of the old slave's old arms and legs." ”
Chu Chen nodded, "That's the reason." ”
Although the emperor was still in a bad mood, someone cared about him, and finally his face was soothed, and he said directly to Chu Chen, "I sent you here because I want you to lead troops to raze Wufeng Mountain for me, and kill all the sect members." Can you do it? ”
Chu Chen blinked, "Then it depends on how many people Uncle Huang gives me, you may not know, that Wufeng Mountain is different from the ordinary mountain bandits' nest, when opening a sect, the place chosen is really good, the five peaks are connected with mountains, and they are self-contained......"
He analyzed the ease of defending and attacking Wufeng Mountain in one breath, and then said, "Wufeng Mountain, as far as my nephew knows, there are nearly 5,000 sect members, and my nephew is afraid that there will be fewer soldiers, so Wufeng Mountain will not make snacks at all. ”
The emperor's face was ugly when he heard this, "How about giving you 50,000 soldiers?" I will give you the tiger talisman, you go to the Jinglu Soldiers and Horses Camp to transfer troops, and I will limit you to ten days to raze Wufeng Mountain. ”
Fifty thousand! That's a lot!
Chu Chen didn't expect the emperor's anger to be so big, he really didn't make a show, he really wanted to raze Wufeng Mountain.
He said tentatively, "Uncle Huang, the sect members on Wufeng Mountain should not all be anti-thieves, ordinary sect members are just listening to the orders of high Taoist priests, five thousand sect members, can't they all be killed, right?" How about the nephew arresting and disposing of those anti-emperor uncles? ”
"No, kill them all, not one of them will be left." The emperor remembered what Lu Tianshi scolded him before he died, and his attitude was very tough and murderous, "Such a cult, with demonic words to confuse the public, but all those who have joined the sect, there is generally no good one, let one go, it is a scourge, and no one can be left." I killed them all. ”
Chu Chen: "......"
He took a deep breath, if he really went according to his will, not to mention how many white bones were piled up in the blood of Wufeng Mountain, I am afraid that not only His Majesty will offend the entire rivers and lakes, but he, the executor, will also offend the entire rivers and lakes, and everyone will be punished in the future.
