Chapter 491: The bewildered Su Yuan
A few days passed.
The news of Su Cheng's surrender was transmitted to the capital through the secret agent organization of the Tang Dynasty.
During the Early Dynasty.
The Tang Emperor glanced at Su Yuan meaningfully.
When he was the prime minister, he was stared at by the emperor's eyes.
For some reason, many ministers in the DPRK and China today look at them strangely.
What's wrong?
During the national crisis, I took a concubine, who was in the way?
Can't I be strong all the time?
When the hundred officials reported the government affairs one by one, the Tang Emperor Li Qingcang said to Su Yuan: "Prime Minister, have you heard some gossip in the capital recently?"
Su Yuan was stunned.
Is it really that I have another concubine?
This kind of thing, just talk about it in private.
How can you still bring it to the court?
For a while, Su Yuan's face turned red.
The civil and military officials and the Tang Emperor Li Qingcang all noticed his expression.
The latter said: "When this kind of thing happens, as the prime minister of Confucianism, he should feel quite ashamed, right?"
Lose face?
It's a bit embarrassing, isn't it?
Su Yuan was ashamed, nodded, and didn't dare to say anything, he would lose if he said too much.
Generally, when this kind of thing happens, Your Majesty will just give a verbal warning, and there will be no major problems.
Li Qingcang continued: "I didn't expect that the Su family, who has always been loyal to the country, also had such a scandal, which really makes me feel ashamed for your Su family!"
Su Yuan frowned.
What's wrong?
Is it already a sin to find a concubine?
Shame?
Chromophobia also.
The saints have said such things, the emperor is an outsider, what is there to be ashamed of?
The old man didn't feel ashamed!
However, Su Yuan still knelt on the ground, clenched his fists and said: "The minister will not be next time, the minister is guilty!"
The Tang Emperor raised his eyebrows and blurted out: "What's the matter? Your Su family still wants to have a next time!"
As he spoke, he slapped the dragon chair and became furious.
Su Yuan was taken aback, a little confused.
What the hell is going on?
Su Yuan clenched his fists and said: "According to the age of the old minister, this kind of thing really shouldn't happen, and it is still during the national disaster, the old minister is guilty, please punish Your Majesty!"
Li Qingcang pointed at Su Yuan and scolded: "Okay! You are really a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water! If you are guilty, can you exchange Hucheng County back? Or is it your instruction that your good son Su Cheng surrendered to the Wei army?"
After hearing the sound.
Su Yuan was completely stunned.
What's going on?
Cheng'er surrendered?
No!
It's absolutely impossible!
When he came back to his senses, Su Yuan kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, is there a mistake in the news? My son Su Cheng, who listened to the old man's words since he was a child, how could he surrender to the Wei army? Moreover, isn't the Wei army hundreds of miles away from Hucheng County? How could he suddenly attack Hucheng County? If he hadn't attacked Hucheng County, how could my son have surrendered to the Wei army? No! No! My son Su Cheng, even if he died on the battlefield, even if he was in battle, even if he died in battle, he would not choose to surrender to the Wei army!"
Li Qingcang snorted coldly: "Su Yuan! You are really a good prime minister of my Tang Dynasty! Because of your recommendation, I listened to it and let your children guard Hucheng County, but what was the result? Do you still think that this news is fake? Do you know that the Imperial City Division has paid a heavy price in order to investigate this news? Even some refugees who came from the direction of Hucheng County are also spreading the rumors that your precious son has surrendered to the Wei army! You still don't know about it? You are still shameless and full of nonsense here?"
Su Yuan was completely stunned.
He lay limply on the ground.
His own son, really surrendered?
Is he a fool?
Lao Tzu is still an official in the court, but he actually surrendered?
What a deal!
In a hurry, Su Yuan was spit out until he vomited blood.
After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Su Yuan knelt down and said, "The old minister asks His Majesty to give the old minister a death!"
He really has no face to live.
Who knew that such a thing would be born.
It's nothing.
Li Qingcang sneered: "I'm asking you, the geographical location of Hucheng County is particularly special, and it is very important to my Datang, now, what should I do?"
At present, Su Yuan can't say a word except for begging for death and admitting his mistakes.
"Didn't you say that your child has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and can defend Hucheng County? Why, without even defending it, he gave up the land of a county to others?"
Li Qingcang is really angry now.
I really want to give Su Yuan a good time.
No!
Even if you kill this old thing, you won't be angry.
Su Yuan slammed his head on the ground and didn't dare to raise his head.
He had no face to see anyone again.
After a while.
Someone from the Imperial City Division came to report.
It is said that Yunshanguan surrendered to the Wei army.
It was Su Cheng who persuaded him to surrender.
When Su Yuan heard the news, he fainted on the spot.
Li Qingcang's face became cloudy.
When he saw Su Yuan fainting, he got up from the dragon chair and scolded angrily: "What a Su Yuan! What a Su Cheng! What a protégé of the Su family! Check all the protégés of the Su family, find out all the protégés and former officials of the Su family, and kill all of them if they don't stay!"
As soon as the emperor's words fell, Cai Xian stood up from the crowd and handed over a fold to the emperor, saying: "Your Majesty, on this fold, there are all the protégés and former officials of the Su family, where are they now, where is their hometown, how many people are in the family, and the ministers have investigated it clearly. ”
Everyone knows that the Su family is finished.
But Cai Xian's operation really surprised everyone.
I'm afraid I've been preparing for a long time, right?
Talent, what a talent.
Can't mess with.
In this way, during Li Qingcang's tenure, a great purge began.
But all the ministers who belonged to the prime minister's henchmen were killed.
In total, there were three hundred people.
At the same time, Su Yuan, who had woken up from fainting, simply waited at home to die after knowing the news.
Sure enough, after killing all his disciples and relatives and friends, Li Qingcang immediately sent people to surround the Su family.
It was Cai Xian who brought someone to copy the Su family.
Su Yuan was lying on the hospital bed, disheartened and dying, even if he didn't kill him, it was estimated that he wouldn't live long.
Cai Xian came to Su Yuan's bed.
Outside the house, the kneeling people were all members of the Su family.
Su Yuan looked at Cai Xian, and said weakly: "How can you die?"
Cai Xian smiled and said, "The Prime Minister is really calm and fearless! Before you die, Your Majesty has a message for me to relay to you." ”
Su Yuan's eyes lit up, "What words?"
After he saw that Cai Xian came, he already knew that his death was irreparable.
However, it is also a monarch and a minister, and when he hears something from the emperor, even if it is a bad word, he wants to hear it.
Cai Xian said: "Your Majesty said that you will be famous in history in a different way, from now on, you will be the first traitor of my Tang Dynasty since the founding of the country." ”
Su Yuan laughed loudly when he heard this: "Old minister, how can he do it!"
Cai Xian said: "On the road, right?"
Su Yuan closed his eyes and nodded.
Cai Xian stepped forward, took out a dagger, and stabbed Su Yuan to death.
The Su family, more than 100 lives, was also brutally slaughtered.
In the end, the Su family was only confiscated for less than 10,000 taels of silver.
Most of this is the money and silver rewarded by the emperor.
Cai Xian looked at the thousands of taels of silver, shook his head and smiled: "This old guy is really not greedy for a penny! It's a pity that he taught a cheating child." ”
When Su Yuan was stabbed to death, there was only one sentence in his mind,
"What is this called?"
