Chapter 54: Goodbye, Goodbye (Part II)
Seeing that everyone was still bowing their heads and not saying anything, Gu Xuan didn't care, because since he was a child in the emperor's family, he had long known what these people were like, that is, he had always adhered to the principle of talking less and seeing more, and he would never express his position easily until the end.
Especially Gu Xuan had probably guessed the reason why they might not want to bet so simply, so he said lightly: "This is not a bet on this king, but an oath of allegiance to my Da Liang, if you don't want to, then you don't have to leave today, you don't need to wait for my Da Liang million iron horses, today this king can raze the family behind Er and others." ”
Not to mention the rest, just the first half of the sentence is enough to make their group of people awe-inspiring, after all, that little bit of caution was guessed by the other party, how can there be some deterrent effect in it, yes, they are indeed worried about being tricked into the trick by this little prince, and they are even more reluctant to be seen by the outside world, they have taken refuge in this king of Hedong County, tied up with the other party, this future matter, they still need to weigh it again, after all, it is related to the rise and fall of the entire family, it is not so simple to make a decision, but in the second half of the sentence, there is not even a little kind word, but directly put the knife on their necks。
Gu Xuan put his hands on the armrests on both sides of the chair, and said calmly: "You help me Da Liang to appease the people of the country and stabilize the situation, as long as you do a good job, my Da Liang will also open the door for you to make it convenient, and even the little things of your families can be kept, at least my Da Liang will not make you hurt your muscles and bones, who will contribute the most this time, and will naturally get more in the future, now that the king's words are finished, who is in favor and who is against?"
This is the simplest way to suppress people with power, don't talk about those who don't have the truth, everyone knows the current situation, if anyone dares to say a "no" word, then the end is death.
At that moment, someone finally couldn't help but speak, and he said with an embarrassed face: "Lord Wang, you are naturally willing, but you still need 。。。。。。 ”
Before the words fell, it was just a blink of an eye, Gu Xuan, who was still sitting on the chair, had already stood in front of this fat man who didn't see the coffin and didn't cry, stretched out his right hand, and directly lifted the middle-aged fat man who looked like he was in his fifties with one hand and grabbed the collar, and before the latter could react, the person suddenly arrived in the air, and when he came back to his senses, he was suddenly frightened and pale, the person was as if he was dead in the air, and he didn't dare to move, but if he looked closely, he could still see that his whole body was shaking slightly, it was because of too much fear, and the crotch was moist, and it was obviously expanding。
"The king just asked who is for and who is against, there is no second option here, and this king does not want to hear any 'but'. ”
Gu Xuan released a strong murderous aura on his body, one eye was even more fierce, he glanced at these people, and the people who were targeted by his fierce gaze like a goshawk all lowered their heads silently, their bodies were shaking uncontrollably, only Xie Shi was alone, quietly looking at everything that suddenly happened in front of him, his face was neither happy nor sad.
Seeing that everyone bowed their heads and no one dared to raise their heads, Gu Xuan said coldly, "What do you think you are? Do you think you can bargain with this king? Or do you really think you can be on an equal footing with this king when this king gave you a chair just now? Figure out your own situation, if you can't understand this king's good words, then let it reason with you!"
After that, he turned his left hand, suddenly pulled out the knife from his waist, put his right hand down, and then pressed the fat man who had been frightened incoherently on the seat, his eyes were indifferent, completely ignoring the other party's incessant begging, and directly stabbed the fat man who was worth a hundred taels of silver with just one piece of clothing, the latter leaned on the chair, wailed, and struggled desperately a few times, but even if it was a person's death, the power that erupted still couldn't break free, Gu Xuan's hand was like steel poured, and he didn't move at all.
A group of wealthy lords from various families, whose status on weekdays is far away in the clouds, watched this scene, holding the handrails with both hands, almost scratching their nails, one by one's eyelids jumped wildly, their faces changed greatly, and their hearts were shocked and frightened, because they couldn't imagine that the other party, who was talking just now, could have burst out and kill people in a blink of an eye, and that was no one else, it was known as "rotten and rotten" , the head of the Song family who is so rich that he can't pile up money, even in their circle, is not a small person.
Gu Xuan's eyes were extremely indifferent, his face was so calm that it made people feel as if he was just slaughtering an insignificant rabbit, he held the knife firmly in his left hand, and waited until the other party's eyes were lifeless and his body was no longer moving, then he let go of his right hand, and then turned around, looked at everyone, and asked coldly: "Who is this person's surname, and whose family is it?"
I just killed one in front of everyone, the clothes on his chest were splashed with blood, and even there were a few drops on his face, staring at one eye, it was the same as the killing god in hell, in fact, in their long lives, they also faced this situation, but at that time, they played the role of Gu Xuan, they were the ones who carried the general trend to intimidate others, and now they have become little sheep to be slaughtered, it is really the first time.
For a while, no one dared to answer, even if he was relieved, he was unwilling to open this mouth, but Xie Shi, who was sitting behind Gu Xuan, suddenly said at this time: "Song family, Song Zhiwen, the ancestral house is in Laicheng, Weizhou, and has been doing business for generations. ”
When the others heard this, they all turned their heads to look at Xie Shi, and there was an irrepressible anger and disgust in their eyes, because if this person did this, it was simply a betrayal of the interest group of their entire family tycoon, which was to be spurned and retaliated against by everyone, they really didn't understand, even if you wanted to take refuge in this person, even if you wanted to seek a good future for the Xie family, then you don't have to do it so desperately, right?
However, Gu Xuan had already slapped the table here, and said loudly: "Okay! Then bother Xie Situ, find someone to lead the way, bring three hundred people, raid the Song family, seal all the property, and leave it to the next day to make a decision, the Song family's clansmen in the capital, not counting servants, are all escorted to prison, and they will need to do hard labor for 30 years in the coming day before they can return to their normal hometowns, and the next three generations are not allowed to be officials! As for their ancestral house in Laicheng, there is no need to move, it has affected so many people, it is enough. ”
To tell the truth, he has already dealt with it enough benevolence, under normal circumstances, it is directly raided and exterminated, the head of the family and the male are either directly assigned to the hard land, or they will be free from hard labor for a lifetime, and the women in the clan, regardless of the age or age, should be sold to the teaching department for training, in short, the Song family will be demoted to slavery, unless there are some special circumstances in the future, otherwise they will not be able to be liberated in the next life.
It's just that since Gu Cang gained power in Daliang, although he has not completely abolished slavery, he has adopted a series of gentle methods, trying to make the people enlightened, and advocating equality for all, just because the means he uses are not intense, coupled with his status in the court, and his reputation inside and outside the government and the opposition is very high, so there is no one against him on the surface.
The Song family will have this catastrophe today, and it has nothing to do with Gu Cang, the driving force behind the scenes, but it can be liberated after thirty years, and it has to be said that it is because of Gu Cang that he has this opportunity, and the so-called Tianli cycle is also very wonderful.
The reason why Gu Xuan is so benevolent is that he has a natural character, and secondly, he has been influenced by Gu Cang since he was a child, and he is unwilling to increase his karma in vain, in other words, he just left the capital with great ambition, although he can kill a county commander Xu Sanjin Liwei on the street, but it is basically because he is full of evil, his sins are unforgivable, and Liwei is incidental, but he will never pull out a knife to kill people without saying a word like today.
In the final analysis, many things you have experienced in life, you may not see its impact on yourself at the time, but its changes to a person are subtle, and rooted in the bone marrow, and then look back, you will suddenly find that you and the original self, is no longer the same person.
Now is the best proof of this principle, what Gu Xuan passively learned in Huangsha County, or what was changed by the outside world, is his attitude towards many problems, he can still keep his principles, but what is outside the principle, he can already do a quick knife to cut through the mess.
In this way, the fate of the hundreds of people in the Song family in the capital was decided, and there were even many good people in various senses, perhaps there were teenagers who were full of hope for the future, girls who had just sprouted in spring, and even ignorant children, their fate was changed in this way, although Gu Xuan couldn't bear it, he didn't have too much regret.
Because he has deeply understood what Lu Yi once taught him, a king must learn to sacrifice the interests of a small number of people to fulfill the majority of people, this is a last resort, everyone will have different answers and choices to this question, because they stand from different angles.
Gu Xuan, who already had the heart of a king, pointed at the people in front of him with the knife in his hand again, so frightened that the group of people hurriedly fell back, although they were still sitting on the chair and didn't dare to stand up, they all subconsciously wanted to stay away from each other as much as possible, and there was fear in their eyes, as if they were afraid that they would become the next unlucky guy again.
Gu Xuan was very satisfied with the reaction of these people, because he knew that treating certain people, especially people like them, and making them feel frightened all the time may be more able to tame them than making them happy, which is also part of human nature.
"Leaving the lives of the Song family, and even giving them a hope, this is not the mercy of this king, this is because this king is not afraid of any revenge at all, there may be this Song Zhi asked the friend of the Song family master, or simply can't look at this king, this is okay, this king welcomes you to come to this king at any time to trouble, as long as you dare. Gu Xuan stretched out his hand to wipe the blood on his face first, and then slowly put the knife back into its sheath, and said indifferently, "But before you do things and speak, please think more about the family behind you, people are the most important, and this king is not willing to kill, but if you have to do that, this king will not refuse, so this king will ask you one last time now, who is in favor and who is again?"
It's no wonder that he acted so ruthlessly this time, because he didn't have a good impression of these so-called children of the family, and every day in his mouth was not "family law is greater than national law", that is, "there is only a thousand-year-old family, and there is no thousand-year-old dynasty", or what "the family is the pillar and foundation of the human race", and then enjoyed everything with peace of mind, and greedily scavenged everything that did not belong to them.
According to Gu Cang's statement, they have become a huge community of interests, working each other, firmly controlling the upward channel of the entire society, monopolizing education and resources, any ordinary people, that is a slave who is oppressed and plundered by them at will, but whenever there are slaves who want to get ahead, they begin to panic, they will suppress, if they can't suppress, they will start to woo, in short, if you don't enter the door of the family, don't worship a mountain, then it is impossible to go through any road in this world, unless you are willing to continue to go back to be the exploited slave。
The Liang country is slightly better, but all those who are talented, regardless of their background, can be reused by the imperial court, and it is only because the Great Liang has only been established for three generations, and the monarch is virtuous, and the atmosphere up and down has not degenerated, but if the foundation remains unchanged, then I am afraid that in another hundred years, it will become such a rotten and terrible state of Wei and Jin, which is supported by past history.
Look at the people in front of you!
Selling the country is at ease, the national disaster is at the head, I don't want to be loyal to the country, I don't think about how to advance and retreat with the monarch, resist the enemy, but directly consider how to open the city gate and surrender, as if as long as you give the right price, they are willing to surrender to anyone, because they are selfish in their bones, they are a group of jackals who can never be satisfied!
All their starting points are only for themselves, and they have nothing to do with other people around them, no country, or even the human race, and they oppose anything that will harm their vital interests, even if they know that it is good for everyone else!
Such a person is the tumor and moth of the entire human race, and it is the dross that inevitably arises from the development of society!
To deal with these people, you have to treat them so directly, they have been in a high position for a long time, and they will never listen to them if they talk well, but they will think that you are a bully, and they dare to use any tricks against you behind their backs, like Gu Xuan, who is so simple and direct to deter them, they don't dare to think about anything else, they just think about the level in front of them.
Immediately this time, someone raised his hand, blushed, and shouted hoarsely, as if he was afraid that the others would not hear.
"I'm in favor!
"I'm for it too!"
"The Wang family swears allegiance to the prince! Swear allegiance to Da Liang, we will do whatever you ask us to do!"
"Yes, yes, to appease the people, that's as it should be, as it should be!"
"Our Chen family is willing to donate 10,000 taels of silver to show our sincerity!"
"Then our Hou family is willing to donate fifteen thousand!"
"I'm 20,000!"
