Chapter 138: The Truth in Wei Guanzhi's Mouth
With the first, there will be a second, and almost at the same time as the first person cries, the second Hu man screams frantically while struggling.
"Spare your life! Spare your life! I know that the Duke of Xun has kept a large number of Tibetan warriors in captivity in the mansion......"
"I know ...... too"
Li Xu, Li Chun, and the two prime ministers on the tall building in the distance couldn't hear their howls, but Guo Rong and Wei Guanzhi, who were at the scene of the beheading, could hear them very clearly.
Directly chanting that Xungui was plotting against him and plotting against him, if it was before the Emperor Taishang and the Zai Fu made a decision, these words might really be possible to save their lives temporarily, but now it's too late!
If you really want to do it, the prohibited weapons that were found in the shops in the West Market are enough to give the nobles a pot to drink.
But everyone knows that there is no point in just killing the nobles in Chang'an City, the powerful Xungui Group is not only these people in Chang'an City, but scattered throughout the Tang Dynasty.
If they act rashly, it is possible to push these large amounts of wealth and profound nobles to their opponents, and if they collude with feudal towns and foreign races, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Emperor Taishang had already decided to weaken Xungui rather than die with Xungui, so Guo Rong and Wei Guanzhi's reactions were exactly the same.
Wei Guanzhi frowned, and no longer waiting for the two officials to verify his identity, he picked up a token and threw it directly.
"Slash!"
Guo Rong, who had been leading the patrol nearby, did not hesitate to give an order to the twenty Modao soldiers.
"Slash!"
One article and one martial arts, the two on-the-spot commanders gave everyone clear instructions with exactly the same order, and the two officials quickly evacuated.
Twenty Mo Dao hands stepped forward, and Hu Ren, who was kneeling on the ground, struggled desperately, his body twisted extremely, but this could not win them even a glimmer of life.
Mo knife waved, hand knife fell, the corpse that fell to the ground was no longer so neat, four or five Hu people were slashed from the shoulder by Mo knife, and were directly split in two......
The vast majority of citizens who had not directly seen the power of the Mo knife began to tremble, and the internal organs scattered all over the place after being broken brought a greater degree of stimulation to people, and many people's stomachs were surging.
Among the crowd of onlookers, a Guo family member dressed in ordinary people's clothes was already soaked in cold sweat.
After turning back from his fright, he called a Guo slave behind him, and after whispering a few words, the slave quickly left in a hurry.
A wave of waves disappeared invisibly, and the execution continued.
Fourth Batch ......
Fifth Batch ......
For a full quarter of an hour, bloody heads fell to the ground, corpses were cut off, and blood splattered incessantly......
When the last Hu man was killed, the execution site was already soaked in blood, showing patches of black and red, and the air was filled with a thick smell of blood...
………………………………………………
The effect of the 183 heads was amazing, and after the execution, the entire Dongshi and even most of Chang'an City were shrouded in haze for a long time.
The impact of the 183 heads is also gradually fermenting.
For the largest execution since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the army, civilians, soldiers, and gentry in Chang'an City have their own cognitions, some praise, some fear, and some scold, but there is only one point that everyone cannot refute.
Maybe Datang is still far from its former peak, but the imperial court has hardened, and the backbone of Datang that has been sucked out for decades has re-erected.
The struggle and howl of Hu Ren before his death at the execution scene were used as a joke by the citizens of Chang'an, but they made the nobles who had fallen into despair feel a glimmer of hope.
This at least shows an attitude, the Emperor Taishang doesn't want to kill them all!
At the end of the execution, when the corpses on the execution ground in Dongshi had not been completely cleaned up, a message came out from the palace people in Xingqing Palace and began to circulate in Chang'an City:
Next month, the Emperor Taishang will hold a crown ceremony for Guo Rong, the lieutenant general of the Changying Army, who led his troops to guard the Xingqing Palace, in the Qinzheng Building of Xingqing Palace!
Guo Rong, a name that was originally only known in a small area, began to spread rapidly throughout Chang'an City.
The guard of Xingqing Palace, the commander of the Changying Army, the red man in front of the emperor, the concubine of the eldest princess of Dunhuang, the key is that this is still a young general who has not yet reached the crown.
The only thing that makes people wonder is his origin, some people speculate that he is from the Guo family in Taiyuan, some people guess that he is from the Huayin branch of the Guo family, and some people speculate whether this is the emperor who sowed rain and dew among the people before he ascended the throne...
Compared with folk speculation, the information of the nobles is more detailed and accurate.
There is no doubt that Guo Rong was sent back from the steppe by the eldest princess to protect the emperor with two hundred Uighur cavalry, but this not only failed to explain Guo Rong's origins, but instead cast a veil of mystery over Guo Rong.
Of course, I don't know if anyone knows Guo Rong's true identity, such as Guo Nuan, the sixth son of Guo Ziyi, the king of Fenyang County.
However, inheriting Guo Nuan's lineage as the representative of the country, Guo Zhao, the general of Zuojin Wuwei, did not make Guo Rong's identity public, but hid it as the last hole card.
With the style of the Emperor of the Ether, such a message will definitely not be untargeted, and in the case of not being able to unravel Guo Rong's identity, it is imperative to figure out the purpose of such a message.
Judging from the current situation, the most harmonious relationship with Guo Rong is the Jingzhao Shao Yin Wei Guanzhi and the Changying Army General Li Rui when he returned from the grassland with him.
Under the circumstance that Li Rui was in the military camp of the Changying Army in the Forbidden Garden and could not be contacted, it became the most appropriate direction to inquire about the situation at Wei Guan's place.
Then, Guo Hui, a living house who once had a relationship with Guo Rong and had an irreversible friendship with Wei Guanzhi, became the best person.
Riding a horse through the empty streets of Chang'an after sunset, Guo Hui's mind always conjures up the scene of the only side of Guo Rong in the past.
Guo Hui would never have thought that the guy who pretended to be Jin Wuwei that day would become the key person who decided the honor of Chang'an City.
If I had been more resolute at the time, maybe ......
It's just that everything is late, there was an opportunity, I didn't grasp it, and the time was fate......
Holding the waist card of the forbidden palace, Guo Hui rode a horse and galloped all the way through the empty streets of Chang'an after the curfew, and in less than half an hour, Guo Hui arrived at Jing Zhaoyin's mansion and signed up.
"Brother Guan, help!"
Guo Hui's sudden visit at this time did not surprise Wei Guanzhi, Wei Guanzhi could even guess the purpose of Guo Hui's trip, but after hearing Guo Hui's help, Wei Guanzhi felt a little overwhelmed.
Six days ago, what Guo Rong said after entering the door seemed to be no different from Guo Hui.
From the West Market to the East Market, Guo Rong's words killed 300 people......
They are all surnamed Guo, and they are all their best friends, and the devil knows what this product will bring to him......
"(Guo) Wulang, if you have something to say, don't worry, I don't believe that anyone in Chang'an City can threaten you now!"
"Brother Guan, don't laugh, on the execution ground today, before Hu Ren died, he framed my brother for rebellion, on the execution ground in Dongshi, you are a prison officer, don't say that you didn't hear it, now no one in the entire Chang'an City knows, no one knows."
"Oh, what should I be, you all know that it was framed before death, and the Emperor would not know? Your Majesty will not know? What's more, if I directly ordered it to be beheaded, would the dead man still jump out and frame him? ”
"Brother Guan's kindness, Guo remembers it, but if the emperor believes it...... true"
"If the Emperor Taishang really believes it, the Changying Army will go directly to the North City from the East City in the afternoon, attack the Guo clan and arrest the rebels, I have seen the performance of the Changying Army in the West City, and it is three points stronger than the Left Army of Shence!"
"If they do it, will you still have a chance to come to me? Gorou, if that's what you're worried about, then I can only send you a four-character grid to worry about the sky! ”
"Of course, if you come to me today, it will represent more than just you and the Kwok ......"
Guo Hui didn't speak, but he didn't deny it either, which is very revealing, seeing such a state, Wei Guanzhi also restrained his smile.
"Ju Wenzhen instigated the Shence army to make a rebellion in Chang'an, the imperial city was surrounded, Xingqing Palace was besieged, and the nobles did not send a single soldier, the Emperor Taishang was furious, to tell the truth, the Emperor Taishang didn't think about it......"
Looking at the incredulous expression on Guo Hui's face, Wei Guanzhi shook his head slightly, his irreversible friend can be regarded as an outlier among the nobles.
"Goro, why do you think all the 4,000 Changying troops entered the city today?
Who do you think the sixteen eight-ox crossbows in the East Market are used to guard against?
Do you know why it was the Changying Army's Modao team that executed instead of Jing Zhaoyin's executioner?
Do you think that the things collected from the Hu merchants in the West City are really not enough to punish the nobles in Chang'an City?
Also, you know my character, if it weren't for His Majesty's instructions, do you think I would order someone to kill because of your friendship with me? ”
This series of questions said that the young Guo Hui's back was soaked with sweat, and what the elder brother said was right, the emperor didn't want to kill them all......
"But, Brother Guan, since this is the case, how could the Emperor Taishang suddenly order a thorough investigation of Hu Shang and collect ......?"
"Who told you that it was the Emperor Taishang who ordered it?"
Guo Hui was stunned by Wei Guanzhi's rhetorical question.
"The eldest prince of Dunhuang is going to marry Guo Rong, you should know about this."
"Of course, no one in Chang'an City knows, no one knows."
"That's easy to say, Guo Rong is already a designated concubine, Guo Rong was originally playing in the West Market with the eldest princess that afternoon, but in the process of playing, the profiteers in the West Market played tricks!"
"Ah!!???h
"The eldest princess is also a woman, and it is not strange that a woman is deceived by a profiteer, although Guo Rong knows about Hu Shang's treacherous schemes, but in order to take care of the eldest princess's face, he didn't say much, but Guo Rong's forbearance was regarded as weakness by Hu Shang, and he subconsciously regarded Guo Rong as a civilian forbidden army general, you know how miserable the forbidden army was cleaned up, and then Hu people have to inch in......"
"Even if it's not Guo Rong, even if it's a weak forbidden army, it's not something that he can be humiliated by a Hu businessman, and the weakness is in Zhenguan and Kaiyuan......"
Halfway through speaking, Guo Hui's voice stopped abruptly, and he reacted, now is not Kaiyuan.
After holding back his anger and sending the eldest princess away, Guo Rong directly ordered the transfer of troops from the Changying Army to surround the West Market! While solving the humiliation, he also solved the problem of the dowry for His Majesty. ”
Although Guo Hui was very shocked, from the bottom of his heart, Guo Hui really felt that Guo Rong's behavior was very manly.
When Emperor Taishang learned about it, not only did he not get angry, but directly ordered Jing Zhaoyin, Zhongshu Province, the Criminal Department, and the Military Department to give their full support and cooperation......"
