Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Autumn is getting thicker, and the dark clouds in the sky are hazy, as if they have knocked over the ink in the inkstone, and the spreading haze lingers.  Four or five civil servants walked up the stone steps of the magnificent Jinxiang Palace. In front of them, a small-eyed civil servant straightened the official hat on his head with one hand and walked into the wooden door with a serious expression while holding the file in his hand.  The group of people passed through several palaces, waited outside the gate of Yangde Hall for a while, and then walked in.  Guo Shao's head was bare, like a monk's, with smoke still coming from his head. Two palace maids were packing the towels next to him.  "I will pay my respects to Your Majesty." Several people said with fists in their hands.  Guo Shao made a motion to signal them to level up. Yang Shiliang, the eunuch next to him, walked over, took a thick stack of files from Wang Pu, and placed them on the case in front of Guo Shao.  The two palace maids lowered their heads, took a few steps backward, took their things and walked out of the palace.  Guo Shao looked at the files in front of him. There was a thick stack of files, densely written in small characters, almost all of which were names of people.  Guo Shao didn't know most of the people written above at all.  Countless human lives are just text symbols to him now.  Between the rice paper and the black characters, the meaning of killing is permeated by people's emotions.  No one said a word, except for the sound of paper being turned "whoosh, whoosh" from time to time.  Guo Shao looked at it for a long time. Maybe Wang Pu and others below had their legs numb, but he was still not in a hurry.  Guo Shao read it several times, trying to find inappropriate places in the file, but found nothing because almost all the names were unfamiliar.  He used another method to roughly estimate the number of people inside. The number of people to be executed and exiled was not only 10,000, but also 8,000.  Finally, Guo Shao rubbed his bare head, stretched out his hand to pick up the brush, dipped it back and forth in the cinnabar a few times, and wrote on the file: accurate.  Yang Shiliang immediately placed another imperial edict in front of Guo Shao.  Guo Shaotong read it. It was an edict written by the Hanlin Academy, which was a word expressing anger against the three rebel forces colluding with the enemy.  Guo Shao signed below again.  When Wang Pu and others got the things again, they finally said: "I obey the order!" Guo Shao had a complicated expression, waved his hand and said: "You go and do it." The group of people bowed and left.  He was still sitting in front of the case, looking at the cinnabar on it, which was as red as blood The dense handwriting he just saw still stayed in front of his eyes, and for a while, no matter whether he hated Fan Zhi, the Zhao family, or the officials who were greedy and disloyal,  , all scattered like the wind.  But there is one of the most insidious masterminds who still has no trouble: Xiao Siwen!  Xiao Siwen from the Liao Dynasty is not only Guo Shao¡¯s biggest enemy, but also his mother¡¯s deed!  Guo Shao is still looking sick and uncomfortable. He almost died and lost everything because of this guy's unscrupulous tactics.  The smell of blood had just dispelled Guo Shao's hatred, but Xiao Siwen once again aroused his anger.  Guo Shao took a deep breath and looked at the map on the wall opposite.  After calming down, he still felt that he couldn't control his position. He stretched out his fingers and pointed at the big picture, as if gesturing in the air First, he got more war horses from the northwest, and then used Liuhua Castle as a stronghold, and the cavalry were as sharp as swords.  From a grand strategic point of view, the Liao Kingdom was left with endless food to eat!  However, what needs to be done immediately is to first resolve the pressure of the Liao army in western Liaoning and maintain the situation of developing in the northeast. ?¡­ ?That day outside the North City of Tokyo, the Yellow River loomed in sight.  A large group of people were tied up with ropes in a long line on the post road, and they were driven slowly and miserably.  There were cavalry in front and behind, and a group of infantry lined up to accompany them.  In addition, officials, military generals and eunuchs from various yamen were present.  When we arrived at the bottom of a mound, a large earth pit had been dug, and there were some disgraced government servants sitting nearby.  At this time, officials began to read the lists one by one.  The prisoners with disheveled hair and disheveled clothes were forced to stand in three rows, still tied together.  They stood there tremblingly with despair on their faces. Under the gaze of the cavalry, no one escaped. Their hands were tied and restrained from each other, so there was no chance of escape.  After reading the name boringly for a while, the civil servant said: "The criminals present will be executed for treason, and their relatives will be exiled to Pingxia Province. Do you have any objections?" He was not asking about the criminal standing in front.  Instead, he asked the civil and military officials present.  Everyone agreed, but no one objected.  So the civil servant waved to a young general, then turned and left.  There are too many prisoners, and the executioner is not the executioner, but a garrison guarding Tokyo.  The general shouted, and the infantry formed three rows, marching in formation with guns in hand. They stood less than ten steps away from the opposite side and raised their guns one after another.  ¡°Bang bang bang¡­¡± ¡°Bang bang bang¡­¡± Gunpowder explosions rang out for three rounds in succession. The wind was filled with gunpowder smoke and blood, and screams were heard everywhere.  All the infantrymen drew their sabers and daggers, rushed up to slaughter the surviving people on the ground, and then threw the bodies into the nearby pit.   ?¡­ At the execution ground outside Tokyo, all the people who died were men.  But it's different outside Xuzhou City. There are men, women, old and young.  In addition to the old woman, there are also children!  An old woman with gray hair and disheveled silk clothes had eyes full of hatred. She raised her head and shouted, her voice hoarse and cruel: "Guo Shao, an ungrateful thief who seeks to usurp the throne. He has taken care of his whole family. After his death, he turned into a ghost. He will come."  Sue for your life!" The surrounding civil and military officials all looked sideways, attracted their attention.  But everyone's expressions were indifferent. No matter whether what the woman said was true or not, the victory or defeat was decided The right way is that justice does not matter in people's hearts, and right and wrong depend on strength.  Her voice was out of shape, her facial features were distorted, and she shouted hoarsely, "One day, retribution will come" "Pa!" Suddenly a knight rode forward, swung his whip, and cursed: "Don't yell.  "It's over!" The civil servant behind said: "Stop your mouth and take him to the execution ground quickly." After saying that, he looked up at the sky, as if he was assessing the time.  The knight turned over and dismounted, made a ball of dirty cloth, and without any explanation, stuffed it into the old woman's mouth.  Several officials were still discussing, and a voice said: "Her son used to be a general of the Forbidden Army. He was very strong back then, but he didn't have that fate after all" The understatement quickly disappeared into the noise.  The changing dark clouds in the sky seem to be mocking the absurdity of fate in the world.  ¡­The capital city and Xuzhou were both in turmoil, and a large number of men, women, and children were driven west on the long journey to Pingxia, causing people to panic.  However, Yingzhou was much quieter at this time.  The officials of Prince Zheng's Mansion have been changed again, and the original officials have generally walked on the Yellow River Road on the bank of the Yellow River.  But the house is still peaceful, and no one rushes in to harass.  The newly appointed official of Xuanhui Nanyuan is sitting conscientiously in the double-covered room inside the gate This job is simply idle, and there is no profit. If it is normal, there will be nothing to do.  But the new officer didn't dare to slack off at all, because there were not a dozen people left below the previous chief officer, which was really scary.  At this moment, a clerk hurriedly walked in and whispered a few words in the chief officer's ear.  The chief officer's expression changed and he stood up immediately: "Please! Please come quickly!" "They have already come in. I don't dare to stop them." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a smooth-talking man and a civil servant leaving.  Come in.  The chief official of Prince Zheng's palace knew the civil official, who was a powerful official of Xuanhui Nanyuan, and hurriedly stepped forward to see him.  The envoy pointed to the eunuch next to him and said, "This is Eunuch Yang from the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Eunuch Yang didn't look sideways and said calmly: "A eunuch has been here before. Have you seen it?" Several people were stunned.  , looked at each other, the chief officer of Prince Zheng's palace suddenly shook his head and said: "No, what father-in-law, I haven't seen you, have you seen me?" "No!" Eunuch Yang then took out the secret decree and asked the chief officer to announce it in front of him.  An envoy from the Huinan Academy came to inspect it carefully.  That night, there was a lot of noise and confusion in Prince Zheng's palace. Someone shouted: "It's not good, Prince Zheng is suffering from an emergency and has no energy left!" Hurry up and go to Beijing overnight to report!  King Zheng was imprisoned in Yingzhou, and no one cared about him, but his death was not a small matter. After all, he was someone who had sat on the throne!  Soon after, the emperor issued an edict praising King Zheng for his virtue, burying him in the imperial mausoleum of the previous dynasty, and announcing King Zheng¡¯s death to the whole world.  In just over a month, a lot of things happened in Daxu. A high-ranking duke, a prime minister, and a king died one after another, and thousands of people were convicted and implicated.  The wind and waves seemed to sweep across the entire Central Plains.  There are all kinds of strange stories among the people, and everyone has their own opinions, and I am afraid that there will be quite a lot of stories in the unofficial history in the future However, there is only one official conclusion: Emperor Xu was ill, the three parties colluded with the Liao Kingdom to conspire to cause chaos, and they were put down before the rebellion started; Li Chuyun was killed by the rebels  The remaining party colluded with the spies of the Liao State to persecute him; King Zheng died of a sudden illness and was buried lavishly by the royal family.  Who Zhong Li is can no longer be found out, only speculation and unofficial history remain. The truth will be buried in the dust like countless past events.  As for the death of King Zheng, many people must not believe that it was due to illness. The cause of death must be attributed to Guo Shao But it doesn't matter. The former royal family has lost power and can easily be exploited by others.  Letting him die honorably is not a big mistake, after all, most rulers would do this.  What's more, the Daxu royal family did not slander King Zheng's reputation for virtue and allowed him to maintain his status and be buried in the imperial mausoleum. It is not mean.  It¡¯s a cloudy day in Tokyo, and the entire Central Plains seems to be shrouded in clouds these days.  How many dead souls, how much right and wrong, unclear and muddle-headed, the world's affairs are never transparent.  ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT THE DAY, let good and evil be distinguished from right and wrong, and justice should be practiced on the road.  "It's a pity that after so many years, he has the power of life and death and supreme authority, but he still makes all kinds of important matters so unclear and unclear.  The sky outside the window became darker and darker. It had been overcast for many days, and finally raindrops as big as peas fell, and then the heavy rain poured down on countless palace eaves.  Rainwater flows between the tiles, and water flows across the brick floor.  Guo Shao seemed to see countless blood stains being washed away
