Chapter 294: Tyrant Du Change!
Baise Province, a village below.
Li Sichao is Chinese New Year's Eve years old today!
At the age of twelve, he joined the Sky Wolf Gang, practicing martial arts while doing private salt, and became a small leader of the Sky Wolf Gang at the age of nineteen.
When the Mo Tusi rebelled, the Sky Wolf Gang also made a small effort, and later the Mo Clan was destroyed, and the Sky Wolf Gang leader was scared, worried that he would be implicated, and even prepared to flee to the mountains.
But he didn't expect that the imperial court didn't investigate it at all, and the Li family's Tusi Kill who replaced him even cooperated with the Heavenly Wolf Gang to sell illicit salt in all directions.
The days during that time were really beautiful, as the small leader of the gang, Li Sichao lived a life of drunkenness and dreams. Eat and drink spicy food every day, play different girls every day, and don't feel distressed when you use up a dozen taels of silver after eating flower wine.
But the good times didn't last long!
In order to seize all the illicit salt and minerals, the Li clan used the Holy Fire Cult to kill the gangs in the entire southwest.
The Sky Wolf Gang is certainly among them.
Li Sichao had a hangover that night, and he tossed too late with a half-closed girl, so when he returned to the Sky Wolf Gang, it was already three poles in the sun.
He can't forget the scene now, the blood all over the ground, the corpses all over the ground.
Half of the hundreds of people in the Sky Wolf Gang were killed and half escaped.
Li Sichao's legs were weak at that time, so he immediately pulled out his legs and ran, ran and ran, and fled from the county seat to his hometown in the countryside.
Since then, the government and the Li family have been wanted by members of the Sky Wolf Gang, and the crime is to sell illicit salt.
Li Sichao didn't dare to show up, so he stayed in his hometown in the countryside, and used the remaining dozen taels of silver to marry his daughter-in-law and build a new house.
At first, he couldn't settle down, but after giving birth to a girl and a son, his heart was completely settled.
Of course, it is impossible to farm, and it is impossible to farm for a lifetime. The few acres of land at home let his father plant. He spends every year loitering, eating and drinking.
Later, when the wind gradually weakened, he began to run around several villages, gathering all the previous gang members, and there were forty or fifty people, and he set himself up as the leader and became a tyrant in the surrounding villages.
If there is a dispute between the townships, he will definitely be asked to mediate. Even if someone wants to do business, they have to pay him protection money. Later, even if the marriage in the village is a major event, he must be asked to come forward to maintain it.
Although you can't make a fortune, it's still barely okay to eat and drink spicy food.
But since the Li rebellion, everything has changed.
Li Sichao felt that it was too slow to make money before, maybe it was still quick to grab it directly, so his group of people became semi-professional bandits again, and there was no government anymore anyway.
Last night, Li Sichao broke into a large family again and robbed more than 200 taels of silver.
"Big brother, if there is chaos today, why don't you climb the heights, gather hundreds or thousands of people, and let's go and knock down the county seat." A little brother said.
"Yes, yes, the little eunuch Du Bian and King Li fought to the death, and they didn't have the energy to manage the county below, and there were dozens of officials in several counties, not even a single soldier. Another younger brother said: "Besides, a little eunuch in Du Bian's district actually occupied the entire Baise City, Brother Li is such a hero, why can't he occupy a county town and be the king?"
"Who do you think will win, Du Yan or King Li?"
"Of course it's King Li, he has hundreds of thousands of troops, and Du Bian's little eunuch only has a few soldiers?"
"But some time ago, Du Bian defeated King Li's hundreds of thousands of troops, and there were corpses everywhere, and now Baise City is haunted every night. β
Listening to the words of the younger brothers, Li Sichao was about to move.
With his prestige, thousands of people can still be gathered, and it is easy to take a county seat. And then dedicate this county seat to King Li, wouldn't it be possible to be an official directly, at least starting from a thousand households.
At this time, Xiucai next to him said: "Big brother, the brothers are right, the troubled times are coming soon, it is really a good opportunity for heroes to come forward." At that time, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was not as good as his eldest brother, and finally won the world. β
Li Sichao didn't dare to think of winning the world, but with his skills as a six-rank martial artist, coupled with the help of thousands of brothers, there is hope for him to be knighted in the future.
As for taking refuge in Du Bian, he never thought about it.
Just change that little eunuch, he can't protect himself, and he will only go to him when his brain is in water.
At the entrance of the village, everyone dispersed, and Li Sichao went to the butcher's house to ask for a piece of meat, and staggered home.
Entering the yard, Daddy was about to go to work in the fields.
"If you are idle and don't do good deeds, why didn't God accept you, a evil animal. Daddy was angry when he looked at him.
"Scolding and scolding, you know scolding, if you don't earn it outside, why do you eat and drink spicy?" Li Sichao said.
Daddy's hoe was about to smash over, and he roared angrily: "I've eaten your wine, I've eaten a piece of your meat, I have eaten all my own food, I don't want your black money, and the meat you bought stinks......"
Li Sichao hurriedly dodged, although he knew martial arts, but he was beaten by his father in vain.
"Daddy......"
"Daddy......"
Two children, a boy and a girl, staggered out, hugging Li Sichao's thighs one by one.
When the father saw his grandson and granddaughter, he quickly collected the hoe and went to farm in a hurry.
"Yaya, Dandan, are you well-behaved at home? Did you listen to your mother?" Li Sichao squatted down and made intimacy with the two children.
The two children hugged his legs, he walked back cautiously, looked at his wife's busy back, and flattered: "Last night, someone had a dispute and asked me to mediate, and the man gave me a piece of meat, and you cooked it for the children to eat at noon." β
His wife ignored him with a cold face.
"What's the matter?" Li Sichao said: "I didn't go out to get other women, do you show me every day?"
The wife said coldly: "You know what you do yourself, every day you hurt the villagers to poke me and my grandfather's backbone, and even other people's children don't dare to play with Yaya Dandan, you can do evil!"
Li Sichao said: "What's wrong with me? I squat at home every day and farm every day, you are happy, without me earning outside, what is the old snack for the family? What to eat?"
The wife turned around and said, "The family has land and land, why don't they have anything to eat?"
Li Sichao said angrily: "I don't have to eat white rice every day, and I still have to eat corn rice, can you live such a life?"
"Why can't you live?" said the wife, "Whose family doesn't live like this?"
Then, she threw the meat out and said loudly, "Don't eat your meat, don't spend your money." β
"Bang ......"
At this time, the fierce sound of horses' hooves sounded outside.
Immediately afterwards, a group of samurai rushed in, led by a hundred households in the East Factory.
"Lin Qinian, the official of Baise East Factory, are you Li Sichao?" Lin Qinian said coldly.
Li Sichao held himself a six-rank martial artist, and he had the heart to do it as soon as he clenched his fist, but when he saw his wife and children around him, he suddenly stopped thinking about it.
Lin Qinian shouted: "Li Sichao, you are a disaster in the township, you robbed the house, this official is the Viscount of Baise, the prefect of Baise, and the Baise Counselor will be ordered to clean up the countryside, and now that the war is imminent, you don't have to be judged, and you will be executed directly!"
After that, as soon as Lin Qinian waved his hand, several warriors were about to step forward to arrest Li Sichao.
Before Li Sichao had time to use force, his wife knelt directly on the ground, kowtowed desperately, and said, "My lord's life, my lord's life." Although my husband has done some foolish things, he has never hurt anyone's life, please be aware of it, and ......
Lin Qinian looked at the woman and the child, and said coldly: "If you want to die unless you enter the army, you will atone for your sins!"
"Willing, willing, willing to ......" Li Sichao's wife kowtowed desperately, and then dragged Li Sichao and said: "Husband still doesn't kneel, thank you for your grace not to kill." β
"Take it!" Lin Qinian ordered.
Suddenly, several warriors stepped forward and directly tied Li Sichao with chains.
He really had the heart to resist, but the children were on the side, and his wife was also on the side.
At this time, the entire Baise Mansion, and even the entire western part of Guangxi Province, this scene was being staged everywhere.
Many warriors who had washed their hands were eating and drinking at home.
Suddenly, a group of soldiers rushed in and took them away without saying a word.
Only the cry of a woman can be heard from behind!
The elite troops of Du Chang completely broke the tranquility of countless villages.
Groups of people were captured and escorted to the city of Baise.
In the name of exterminating the village bandits and road tyrants, a large-scale purge was carried out in all the villages within a radius of several hundred miles, and all the gang members who had retired were wiped out.
Suddenly, in the surrounding prefectures and dozens of counties, some people in the villages were crying, and some people in the villages were cheering. Because these retired gang warriors can't farm with peace of mind, they will only use their martial arts to get out of the way, which has indeed aroused a lot of public resentment.
Of course, there are also many retired warriors who have become the protectors of the countryside and are widely loved, although this group of people is only a minority.
But at this time, they can only be arrested indiscriminately.
On every road, there are iron horses that have changed, and countless people are frightened and kneeling on both sides of the road.
On the road leading to Baise City, there was a long queue to escort the prisoners.
Du Yan stood on the city wall, watching the teams of prisoners capture into the city, these people can do martial arts, and then they will undergo the most cruel and terrible training, the most elite warriors in the peerless dungeon will definitely train them to doubt their lives.
Many were covered in blood, even blood, and it was clear that the rebellion had been suppressed.
Not only that, but the roads outside Baise City were full of heads on both sides. These people are all trying to resist, the most heinous criminals, and all their heads have been cut off to deter those who come after them.
The first expansion plan was all in charge of the father-in-law, Lord Li Wenyu.
He is the best father in front of Du Chang, full of love.
But on the other hand, he is still an iron-fisted leader of Dongchang, and his methods are not the most ruthless, only more ruthless.
Du Bian knew that with his own order, maybe thousands of households were crying.
However, war is not a dinner party, and it cannot be so elegant, so calm, so polite, so gentle and courteous.
Chen Ping, the chief bookkeeper, reported beside Du Bian: "Lord, our first step of army expansion plan is very smooth, and by this time, four thousand nine hundred and thirty-five new soldiers have joined. β
Looking at the dense crowd of prisoners below, who were also recruits, Du Chang nodded expressionlessly.
"Next, move these people's wives and children, along with all their family property, into the city!" Du said.
"Bang ......"
At this moment, the ground trembled slightly.
From the southern horizon, a phalanx of samurai appeared.
Three thousand young warriors, all armed to the teeth and dressed in bright armor, marched north in neat steps.
When he came to the city wall, one of the samurai led by him knelt down on one knee and said, "Meet the Great City Lord!"
The three thousand young warriors all knelt down neatly and said, "Meet the Great City Lord!"
These are all alternate samurai of the peerless dungeon, all of them are still young, and none of them have yet become a full-fledged samurai.
Du Yan's eyes were a little hot, a little sour, and he felt a heavy burden on his shoulders.
These young warriors looked up at Du Bian, their eyes were green and fanatical, they were really newborn calves who were not afraid of tigers.
Du Bian waved at them.
"Into town!"
Three thousand samurai candidates rose and marched into the city with neat steps.
Du Bian secretly said in his heart: "I hope I can save the lives of most of you and prevent you from dying young at a young age." β
......
Capital!
Duke Yuan Teng was stunned when he heard the holy decree, and asked him to go to the town to guard Shanhaiguan, which was a bit unsightly. But the emperor's meaning is clear to him, he doesn't want to take sides, so stay away completely.
After a while, Duke Yuan Teng said: "The minister invited himself to Liaodong to serve as the governor of Liaodong." β
Liaodong is his basic plate, he served as the governor of Liaodong before, he returned to the capital last year to recuperate from his injuries, and now the position of the governor of Liaodong is still vacant, and he went directly to office without the slightest resistance.
Now the capital is going to become the place where the struggle is most intense, the emperor and the Fang family are going to start a dragon and tiger fight, and now he is not willing to completely stand in line, so he simply stays farther away, anyway, the fire will definitely not burn his head.
After Li Lianting heard this, he said: "I know, I will return to Your Majesty, and there will be a decree soon, and the Duke can pack up." β
Duke Yuan Teng really adhered to the style of the biggest warlord, strolling leisurely and watching the dragon fight.
......
War is not a dinner party, and struggle is not!
This time, it was the former crown prince and the second assistant of the cabinet Su Chengbo who took the lead in forcing the emperor to kill Du Chang and force the emperor to issue an edict for his own crimes.
His son is not at home as an official outside, but his three grandsons are at home, two of whom are already high school jinshi, and they are all officials in the capital, one is in the Hanlin Academy, one is in the Ministry of Rites, and the youngest grandson is studying in Guozijian.
Su Chengbo is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, a former cabinet assistant, and the emperor's teacher, with the oldest qualifications and countless protΓ©gΓ©s.
How many times did he point at the emperor's nose and scold, and every time the emperor could only spit on himself.
This time, his old man once again came out, and the whole family felt that he could triumph.
The three grandsons all knew what the old man was going to do, to force the emperor to condemn the gelding dog Du Chang, and then issue an edict against himself, with the ultimate goal of forcing the emperor to abdicate.
This is a big deal, but the pillars of the three countries don't think it's a big deal.
Today's court is less and less secretive the lower it gets, and the highest echelons may be secretive about forcing the emperor to abdicate. But lower-level officials, especially the students of Guozijian, have already discussed it badly.
Under the countless brainwashing of well-intentioned people, everyone knew that the emperor favored a little gelding dog Du Chang, and even canonized the eunuch to the title, just because this eunuch saved the emperor's life.
Not only that, the frenzied emperor actually canonized the little gelding dog Du to become the prefect of Baise, and the general of Baise handed over all the military and political power in the southwest of the empire to a eunuch who was less than nineteen years old. It was precisely because of this that the entire southwest of the empire fell and was occupied by the Li clan.
Not only that, but the emperor also couldn't listen to his advice at all, and even didn't go to court for more than half a year and didn't pay attention to political affairs.
Some people even began to rumor that the emperor's favor of Du Bian was not Du Bian's life-saving grace at all, but because he was handsome, and the two had ulterior things.
Such a stupid and stupid emperor has not been met for a thousand years.
Far from being disloyal, the loyal ministers forced the emperor to abdicate, but for the sake of the Daning Empire.
In ancient times, Yi Yin exiled Taijia, and now there is Su Taifu who forced Emperor Tianyun to retreat, this is a matter that has been famous for thousands of years, how can Su Taifu's family be worried?
Not to mention Su Taifu's move, in exchange for the interests of Tianda, the future cabinet minister of the Su family, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver for maritime trade every year, plus 10,000 acres of fertile land.
Bustling, all for profit.
The terrible rumors about the relationship between Du Bian and the emperor came from Su Taifu's youngest grandson, whose painting skills were superb, and he was creating an unprecedented picture of the spring (palace).
He firmly believed that as soon as this picture was circulated, Du Bian jumped into the Yellow River and could not wash it away, and he completely became a clown for thousands of years.
Looking at the exquisite picture of the Spring Palace, the Du Bian on it was vividly drawn, and the eldest prince Su smiled: "The third brother is really a wonderful hand, once this painting comes out, Du Bian will be stinky for 10,000 years, and the emperor will also be stinky for 10,000 years." β
Su Ergongzi said: "Are we spreading rumors?"
Grand Master Su said: "As long as the result is correct, why care about the process?"
The third son, who was studying in Guozijian, said: "Who cares about the truth these days? The truth is that the Fang family rebelled and colluded with the Li clan and killed all the officials in Guangxi, leaving Du Bian, a little gelding, to become the biggest official in Guangxi, he was loyal to the empire and had to take on the heavy responsibility of resisting the Li clan, which was completely a hero to sing and cry about. But we can refer to the deer as a horse, that is, we can become the emperor's favor and trust Du Chang, and hand over all the military and political power of Guangxi to Du Chang, which led to the fall of the southwest. Du Bian has a fart military and political power, his army was still earned by his own hard work, but it was tarnished by us like this, this world is really interesting!"
Su Ergongzi said: "It's really interesting, if you become a king or lose a villain, the winner has the power to reverse black and white!"
And at this moment, the body of their grandfather, Su Chengbo, the second assistant of the cabinet, was carried into the mansion, and the whole family was blown up immediately.
Seeing Grandpa's corpse, the three pillars of the Su family couldn't believe their eyes at all.
That benevolent faint monarch dared to kill someone? And killed the old lady of their family, the patriarch of the three dynasties of the empire?
Grand Prince Su trembled, and then said sharply: "The way of heaven is unfair, the faint monarch Tianyun favors Du Chang, and the relationship is unbearable." Du Chang was in charge of the military and political power in Guangxi, lost power and land, and the emperor not only did not punish him, but killed his loyal ministers. I will go to the Hanlin Academy immediately, the second brother, you go to the Ministry of Rites, and the third brother will go to the Guozijian, gather all the young officials, all the Guozijian students, knock on the sky, and ask the emperor to give us justice!"
"Go, go, go!"
"The faint monarch favored the eunuch party to change, which led to the fall of the southwest, killing loyal ministers with a rod, and the country was about to die!"
"Third brother, organize the students of Guozijian to copy hundreds of copies of the spring paintings of the emperor and Du Bian, and distribute them, so that the emperor and Du Chang will be notorious!"
The three brothers of the Su family were indignant and rushed out of the house, ready to fight back.
And at this moment, thousands of Dongchang warriors rushed into the Su Mansion like a tide.
Grand Prince Su shouted: "Presumptuous, this is the mansion of the Taifu, how can you wait for the gelding dog to come in?"
One of the Dongchang Qianhu households led by him took out the picture, glanced at the eldest prince of Su, and said: "Is it that you spread rumors in the Hanlin Academy to attack Lord Du Chang and attack His Majesty the Emperor?
Then, he slashed away.
"Huh!"
The eldest son of Su of the Hanlin Academy was directly castrated, and the Dongchang Qianhu said: "Now, you are also a eunuch." β
"Ah......" The eldest princess of Su Mansion hugged the wound and rolled desperately on the ground, screaming and screaming.
Immediately afterwards, he walked up to Su Sangongzi and said, "Are you spreading rumors about Lord Du Bian and His Majesty, and you have also painted unbearable pictures?"
Su Sangongzi trembled all over, and he was speechless all of a sudden.
The Dongchang Qianhu said in a cold voice: "On the order of the old ancestor, this evil animal will be peeled and cramped in front of everyone in Su Mansion!"
"Yes!"
Suddenly, several Dongchang warriors stepped forward, pressed the eighteen-year-old third son of Sufu to the ground, and began the execution.
"Ah...... Yes...... Ah......h
The third prince of Su Mansion let out an extremely miserable howl.
"Grandma, save me, save me......"
Suddenly, a group of Haonu rushed out and lined up in two factions.
Then, an old lady with an edict, holding a cane given by the first emperor, an old dragon bell, walked slowly.
"Presumptuous ......"
The old lady looked at Dongchang Qianhu and said coldly: "Who asked you to come? Is it Li Lianting? Let him come to see me in person." The emperor has to perform a junior salute in front of me, and call me grandma, how can Su Mansion allow the eunuchs to be presumptuous?"
That's right, the emperor also called grandma when he saw this old lady.
This old lady is in her eighties this year, and she is the mother of Mrs. Su and the nurse of the first emperor.
The nurse of the first emperor!
This identity makes his family prosperous and wealthy, and this identity makes it impossible for anyone to touch her.
Even if you see her after today, you must be honored as a nurse.
The old lady snorted coldly: "Get out of here for me, let Li Lianting come to see me, I want to enter the palace to see the emperor, and ask him if he is so dim, but he is worthy of the spirit of the first emperor in the sky." This cane of mine was given to me by the first emperor, and I can beat the traitorous ministers and the faint king!"
The Dongchang Qianhu took out a picture and glanced at the old lady, with many words on it, recording the affairs of the old lady clearly.
Without saying a word, the Dongchang Qianhu walked up directly, took out a handkerchief, and violently covered the mouth and nose of the old lady.
Amid everyone's exclamations, the former emperor's nurse struggled desperately and let out a terrible roar.
After struggling for a few minutes, the old lady was completely killed!
This Dongchang Qianhu said coldly: "Relying on the old and selling the old things, the ancestor let you go on the road, so as not to humiliate Your Majesty again, don't think that no one knows about the ugly things you do." β
On this day, the capital set off a bloody storm!
Thousands of people were arrested, and every street was filled with blood and tears, and every street was crying. Countless people were killed in the process of being arrested, and the so-called "don't talk about killing" is the real "kill don't talk".
Anyone can underestimate the emperor, because he is indeed too merciful and not ruthless enough, but don't underestimate Li Lianting!
As long as he gets the emperor's will, he doesn't care how many people he kills, and he doesn't care who he kills!
He always remembered that he was just a knife! The knife in the emperor's hand, once the emperor decided to unsheath it, countless heads fell to the ground.
