Chapter 591: Sona
On this day, Kyoto was in turmoil.
Countless court officials and squires all scattered and left Beijing, or rode east to Yuan Shao, or rode west directly into Guanxi.
Among them, the veteran Tian Yan was the most alert, and when the officials of the shogunate gathered and rushed to the White Horse Temple, his people had a bad premonition, and they couldn't even take care of riding horses, so they only let the house slaves pack up some things and go straight to the west.
The other court ministers and palace officials also got the news through their own means, and then hundreds of people flocked to the Yongmen Gate together, ready to rush towards the west Guanzhong.
Originally, some Yongmen city gate officials had not yet reacted, just like Cui Hao, who was about to regain the position of the third duke, originally participated in the action of the little emperor, but after learning that He Jin actually appeared in Yongmen, and went straight to the White Horse Temple with the entire general shogunate officials.
So the fool also knows that a bloody storm is bound to come. So Cui Hao concentrated his wisdom, directly changed with the green robe of his old slave, and rode a mule straight to Yongmen.
Cui Hao was cunning and felt that He Jin would definitely arrange manpower in the four gates, especially in Yongmen, so when he passed through Yongmen, he deliberately lamented and shouted:
"Heaven is unfair, I, Cui Hao, have worked hard for the country, why do you want me to go out of Beijing?"
The shogunate officials on the Yongmen couldn't tell what was going on, and then let Cui Hao go.
And when more and more ministers and officials came out of the palace, the city gate officials on the city tower knew what was going on, no matter how dull they were.
As a result, when the eight gates of Kyoto were closed, only more than 400 people were able to escape in the end, and the rest were caught by the shogunate's urn.
When the general He Jin returned to Kyoto with a minister, the White Horse Temple had been burned to the ground by him. This great temple of more than 100 years, because of its participation in the bloody struggle within the royal family, was washed away by He Jin from top to bottom.
Even the Khotanese envoys and the two monks who were present were killed by the resentful shogunates, who, in their view, were also conspirators of the little emperor.
But this massacre is only the beginning, and it is far from being enough for He Jin to vent his anger.
Therefore, after the shogunate returned to Kyoto, the list was provided by the surrendered minister, and the shogunate's cavalry went out in all directions, constantly attacking, and began to hunt down the rebels.
At this time, the expansion of the purge, which Zhong Xuan had feared before, was inevitable, but this time it was not the purge of the shogunate but the purge of the imperial party in the court.
There were also people around him who persuaded He Jin and asked him to stop there, but who is He Jin? He is much more mediocre than the little emperor, how can he care about this?
So, catch it according to the list, and catch it again according to the list bitten out on the list. In short, one will not be spared.
And the people below are naturally happy to do this, and the more people they kill, the more they will benefit.
As a result, the whole of Kyoto was boiling, and from time to time the shogunate priests were seen rushing into a mansion, and then they came out with blood on their heads and beautiful maids singing and laughing on their shoulders.
Han Fu, who was Shang Shuling at the time, also knew that He Jin was crazy for the first time.
So, he also hurriedly took out the prepared Qianshou clothes, and took two healthy servants to prepare to go south from Kaiyang Gate, but when he just came out of Kaiyang Gate, he caught up with a shogunate soldier from behind.
They ran directly to Han Fu, and without saying a word, they put a torture instrument on Han Fu.
It turned out that during the previous interrogation of the detained minister, He Jin learned that Han Fu was suspected of being Yuan Shao's traitor. And He Jin was a little puzzled, that is, why someone would report to him.
He Jin is not stupid, of course he knows that this must be because someone doesn't want the little emperor to succeed, and wants He Jin and the little emperor to fight to the death together, and then give those people benefits.
Although He Jin was the beneficiary of this action, he would not really be grateful to these people, but hated these people even more, feeling that it was these people who stirred up the wind and rain that made the little emperor so stupid.
Yes, even though He Jin was betrayed by the little emperor, he still didn't think that it would really be bad for him.
On the one hand, He Jin really has feelings for his sister, and on the other hand, he still knows very well that the legal principle of his general's position still comes from the imperial power.
The reason why the Queen Mother is the Queen Mother is because the emperor is Liu Wei. The reason why the great general is his great general is also because the emperor is his nephew.
So He Jin just put the little emperor under house arrest in the palace, and didn't really hurt him.
But He Jin still held his breath, he was very stubborn at the moment, and he must find out what the truth of this matter is. Otherwise, he couldn't let go, and he didn't know how to get along with the little emperor in the future.
So when he learned that Han Fu was Yuan Shao's internal response, He Jin hurriedly asked people to pursue him.
Poor Han Fu was arrested like this.
After Han Fu was arrested, he explained neatly under the power of a number of examples.
But He Jin did not get the final truth, but was even more confused.
It turned out that Han Fu did participate in the little emperor's rebellion, but he did write a few letters to Yuan Shao in Yuzhou. But Han Fu resolutely refused to admit that he had planned this.
He pointed to a key figure, and that was Zhong Xuan. He told He Jin that Zhong Xuan was His Majesty's mastermind, and then he also contacted the soldiers in Jingyingchuan to act.
Han Fu said aggrievedly that the relationship between Zhong Xuan and Yuan Shao was much deeper than his own. As early as when the Henan family was on the side of the Qing monarch in Hanoi, his people were already Yuan Shao's masterminds. So if you don't arrest Zhong Xuan, why do you arrest him?
At this time, He Jin suddenly realized, and hurriedly asked the whole city to arrest Zhong Xuan.
In addition, Han Fu felt that he was not safe, and he also denounced one person, he was Guo Hong, the captain of Changshui.
Guo Hong has a background, he is from the famous Guo family in Yingchuan. Guo Tu, who is now staying in the Taishan Army, is this person's nephew.
It's just that it is different from Guo Tu, Guo Hong is a direct line of Guo's family, his father was the Taiwei of Emperor Ling in his early years, and his grandfather was the court lieutenant of Emperor Huan.
It can be said that Guo Hong is named after the family of lawyers, and he is a first-class Xing name in this dynasty.
But at this time, no matter how capable you are, He Jin will also invite you to sit in the prison temple.
However, because of his special identity, He Jin ordered Wu Fu to get Guo Hong.
After the tragedy of the White Horse Temple, Guo Hong, who stayed in Kyoto, got the news. He was not as conspicuous as Tian Yan, Cui Hao and others, hesitated for a while, and then was locked up in Kyoto.
Fortunately, he recruited a group of Changshui officials on weekdays, so he ordered these people to stay in the mansion, and then closed the gate to guard it strictly, and no one came to open the door.
When Wu Fu came to the outside of Guo's mansion with the shogunate officials, he saw that there were some long sailors with bows and guards on the watchtower, and he had a plan in his heart.
If ordinary people came here, most of them would have ordered a hard attack. But Wu Fu is different, he is from Runan, from the Wu family, and his heart is among the best among the shogunate.
So Woody shouted outside the mansion:
"The traitor rebelled in the White Horse Temple, and the three princes in the court can't discuss matters, and the general has decided to use you as the captain, please come out to receive the order."
Guo Hong has been listening behind the wall, originally thinking that he was here to get himself, but suddenly he heard that he was going to add an official to himself, how could he not be ecstatic.
Also, he consciously leaked the affairs of the DPRK and China to Yuan Shao, and he did it very secretively. Now that I think about it, He Jin really has no reason to arrest himself.
So Guo Hong hurriedly asked the long sailor to open the door and was about to welcome the order.
But what greeted him was not the Yellow Silk Decree, but the cold swords, guns, and chains.
Guo Hong just woke up from a dream at this time, but Guo Hong was taken down, how could those long sailors go to work again? So he turned back to Guo's house, and after some robbery, he scattered.
And what about Woodfold? After stabilizing the anxious subordinates, they just sat and watched the long sailors wreak havoc, and they didn't chase them.
There was a military officer on the side, who was an old subordinate of Wufu, and asked puzzledly:
"Captain, those are our brothers' belongings, so let them rob them?"
Wu Fu shook his head and smiled:
"We brothers are all porcelain, so why bother with those pottery? These people have been reduced to keepers, and they are all a bunch of poor and crazy. Now we are fighting with them, and they will definitely fight with us. Besides, how many assets can these people take if they carry them on their shoulders? Let's let them take it, and we'll see later. ”
Wu Fu has prestige among the officials, so even if many people disagree, they still pouted and did not speak.
After those long sailors left, Wu Fu took a group of officials into Guo's mansion, and then each picked a few gold utensils and twisted Guo Hong out of the mansion.
In the end, Wu Fu pasted a yellow strip on the gate of the Guo Mansion, which stated the establishment of their Shogunate's Zuo Battalion, and then all the belongings in this mansion, including the population and slaves in it, belonged to the Zuo Battalion.
Guo Hong, who has been tied up, feels sad, these are all his, but now he has been robbed by these old leathers. One of the things that made him most resentful was that Wu Fu directly pulled his concubine out.
Guo Hong scolded angrily in his heart, but when he saw Wu Fu turn his head to look at him, he tried to squeeze out a smile again:
"Captain Wu, Luzhu is weak, please be gentle."
Wu Fu was stunned, he didn't expect a dignified son of a famous Guo family to say such a thing.
And after this stunned, followed by a trembling feeling of holding power in his heart, he couldn't help laughing anymore.
And Wu Fu laughed, and the other officials laughed too, they liked to see this.
Wu Fu walked up to Guo Hong, patted his face with his hand, and said with a smile:
"Guo Jun don't worry, we are also cave brothers, I know your words."
As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed even more profligately.
And then, on the way of Wu Fu escorting Guo Hong, they saw a familiar corpse again. Look closely, it is the long sailor who has just escaped from Guo's mansion.
These people did not know which way they were ambushed, and they all died on the side of the road, not only the looted goods were gone, but even the blades and military uniforms of these people were robbed.
The shogunate officials looked around these naked corpses carefully, and saw that these wounds were cut by some quick knives, and their hearts sank, because this is a typical military martial art.
Everyone was silent for a while, and they had a deeper understanding of the complicated situation in Kyoto.
After that, Wu Fu and the others did not delay any longer, and carefully escorted Guo Hong all the way to the imperial prison.
There, the general was already waiting impatiently.
