Chapter 487 I want to scare them to death
After the silence, the Haoran Palace was immediately in an uproar. The courtiers were yelling wildly, and some people tried to rush out but were pushed to the ground by Jinyi School. The emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at everything in front of him, because of excitement and pride, his face turned red with a rare blush.
At this time, who cares about the glamorous background of the adults' glamorous identity? They are fist-to-handed. After a while, the angrily roar of the adults turned into shrill wails. Later, even the strength to howl was gone. More than a hundred courtiers were beaten to the ground by evil men, and gasped like dogs under the sun in summer.
Su Buwei glanced at the emperor, and his palms were actually covered in sweat.
The surprise on Jin Shixiong's face, who had just come to see, had not yet dissipated, and his heart was as if he was overwhelmed. He took a step back carefully, as if he didn't want to be injured by the murderous aura emitted by the emperor who seemed to be on the verge of nowhere. This thin supreme emperor was still looking down on him while looking around.
It was only then that he truly understood the meaning of the word supreme.
After the chaos in the hall calmed down, the emperor stretched out his hand to signal Su Buwei to help him up. Su Buwei hurried over and helped the emperor slowly walk down the nine steps. The emperor smiled and looked at the courtiers lying on the ground, with a smug look in his eyes as if he had just tricked a piece of candy.
"Since I ascended the throne, I have known what the biggest cancer in the Sui Dynasty is."
He said as he walked, "But I know that you are a cancer and a pillar of the empire. I once thought to rely on my own abilities to let you put away all your thoughts and be wholeheartedly done by the Great Sui Dynasty. At first, I even thought I had done this. I admit that I did not expect that the Great Sui Dynasty had such a huge problem in just a hundred years!"
"I have been thinking that the Great Sui Dynasty cannot live without you, and I cannot live without you, so as long as I do not touch the root of the country, I am too lazy to care about anything. If the Great Sui Dynasty is a hall, then the people are every brick of the city is solid land, and you are pillars. You think that this hall will collapse after leaving you, but you forget that there are no bricks, no land, only a few pillars? You can't even stand up! Don't take yourself too seriously, especially when I can't live long."
He stood in front of a courtier with blood on his face and pointed to the blood on his face: "Your ancestors bleeded a lot when they followed Emperor Taizu when they founded the country, but it was not so disgusting. He was born into a poor family, and because of his achievements, the Yang family gave your family what they deserve. A hundred years later, you have become the same face as those famous families with hundreds or thousands of years of history. None of you is really loyal to this empire, the Yang family, you are only loyal to your own family."
"If it weren't for my days, I would have endured it."
The emperor continued to move forward, looking at every courtier who was overturned: "When I was in Chang'an, I started thinking about this, but I never made up my mind. It was not that I couldn't bear to leave you, but that I couldn't bear to cut flesh on the Great Sui Empire with my own hands. Later, when the battle went smoothly, the more your praises became, the more loud your heart became. The Yang family had no place to be sorry for you, but you were preparing to surrender to the new master from the beginning. Today you are my ministers, and tomorrow you may turn around and bow to others three times and nine times..."
"I originally wanted to give you another chance, but I didn't go to this point unless I had to. After all, this is a matter of shaking the national system. If you are accidentally in the Sui Dynasty, half of the country will collapse. But now I understand that even if you are in pain, there will always be a time to heal. Keep you, the prince is young and the queen is helpless, and you will become a puppet at your mercy. In fact, no matter how you fight against you, you will be the winner. If the Sui Dynasty wins, you will be able to control the court... What a good plan, it is seamless."
"But it's already here, what else am I afraid of? It's perfect... I just split it with one knife."
A courtier with gray hair spat with blood in his mouth, and was pressed on the ground by Jinyi School boots. He raised his head with difficulty and watched the emperor roar with the greatest strength: "Yang Yi! You should know how big a mistake you made... When Emperor Taizu founded the country, in the Battle of Jiayu Mountain, Taizu had only 40,000 soldiers. Zheng State of the previous dynasty gathered 600,000 troops. At that time, many generals and staff under Taizu secretly had letters with Zheng State. Later, Taizu defeated the enemy and swept 600,000 elite bandits with 40,000 elite soldiers... Emperor Taizu found a basket of letters in Zheng Army's tent, and threw them into the fire pit in front of his subordinates. How courage was that! In the end, the ministers died and the people returned to their hearts!"
Hearing this, the emperor couldn't help but sneer and smiled coldly: "It's precisely because of this that you are becoming more and more rampant! If I were to do that, I would have done that at that time, but if I were to change Emperor Taizu in my current situation, Taizu would have killed you. You people have forgotten that the knife will always be in the hands of the royal family for more than a hundred years."
Another minister begged: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty is kind. I know I am wrong. I swear that I dare not have any other intentions. Please beg your Majesty for kindness!"
The emperor slowly squatted down in front of him, took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood from the corner of the minister's mouth: "I am the emperor, you are the ministers. In theory... how can fathers not forgive the children's mistakes?"
Hearing this sentence, the courtier begging for mercy immediately felt a glimmer of hope.
"But the son is unfilial, what's the use of keeping it? The crow feeds back and the lamb kneels to breastfeed, but you are always waiting to dig out my foundation."
The emperor threw the handkerchief beside him, stood up, waved his hand to Su Buwei: "Just do it in the Haoran Hall built by Li Yuanshan. I have cut more than 30,000 heads in Chang'an City, but I have never been to the court. Today I will treat this place as a court and watch the murder with my own eyes."
Su Buwei helped him back to the higher level. After sitting down, the emperor turned his head and looked at Jin Shixiong: "You are the general of the court. You are traveling between the golden swords and iron horses on the battlefield. How many pools of blood have come and jumped over the mountain of corpses, how could you tremble?"
Jin Shixiong knelt down with a pounce: "I... feared by Your Majesty's power."
The emperor was silent and his hand slowly pressed down: "It's rare, someone knows that the power of heaven is terrible."
As his gestures were pressed down, the horizontal swords in the hands of the Jinyi School Generals suddenly fell, and the wailing sounds of the knife cutting the bones intertwined, turning Haoran Palace into the Hall of Hell.
...
...
The corpses were put into sacks and threw them out. The emperor asked someone to lift the bluestone in the corridor outside the hall, dug a hole and threw them into it, and then paved the bluestone. These once prominent court officials were buried under the road, and I don’t know how many people would be trampled on in the future.
The Haoran Palace is controlled by Jinyi School, and no one outside knows that so many people have died.
"His Majesty"
Su Buwei took the velvet blanket and covered the emperor's leg, then took the medicine he had just boiled and handed it to him. The emperor frowned and shook his head: "Su Buwei, Su Buwei... Why don't you understand my thoughts? I don't even want to read the memorial again. Do you want to drink this bitter decoction again?"
"His Majesty……"
Su Buwei opened his mouth, and the emperor stopped him: "Let me live my life as I wish for a while. I will not read the memorials and take medicine. I want to live comfortably for the rest of the days. It is rare to relax and be lazy. People say that I can steal a few more days if I have half a day of leisure. If you care about me again, I will send you to Chang'an City."
Su Buwei smiled bitterly and suddenly felt that the emperor was a little childish.
"Hao Kaitai"
The emperor said to Gao Kaitai, who was kneeling aside, "Has everything been done?"
General Gao Kaitai immediately replied: "Your Majesty, it's done. The 200,000 soldiers have been ordered to deploy defenses in Qinchuan area to ensure the rear of the army. Even if Luo Yao's left vanguard surrounds the back of the army, it will be difficult to step over. I swear to protect Your Majesty to the death and never let those rebels approach His Majesty."
"No need"
The emperor smiled and said, "I asked you to take all the soldiers to retreat to Qinchuan, not to prevent Luo Yao from raising troops to pursue rebellion, but to leave some soldiers who have experienced wars for the Sui Dynasty. The prince is young and cannot be without people around him... After I lead my army westward to pursue Li Yuanshan, you should lead your troops back to Jingji Road... I have sent Liu Enjing and Xu Xiaogong back to Chang'an City before, because I am worried that there are people in the court who are unsuccessful."
"Once the news of my death in the northwest is passed back, some people will always think that the prince can be bullied at a young age and do something disgusting. You and Xu Xiaogong and Liu Enjing are my orphans. Do your work well. Although I am terminally ill, I can still tell who is loyal to me and who has two hearts to me."
Gao Kaitai crawled on the ground, crying but unable to speak.
“Nothing worth crying.”
The emperor smiled and said, "I never will be at the mercy of others. The more I feel that I am weak, I will let them see what strength is. After returning to Chang'an City, you only need to remember one thing and immediately welcome the crown prince to ascend the throne without waiting for the news of my death to be sent back. Pei Yan secretly colluded with Luo Yao, so how could I not know? He was my confidant, and his mind began to change after knowing that I had a stubborn illness. I would not tell you if I didn't tell you, because I still used him to paralyze Luo Yao. By the time you go back, Xu Xiaogong and Liu Enjing should have done everything in Chang'an City, and there is no need for Pei Yan to keep it..."
"Your Majesty think twice"
Gao Kaitai begged while kowtowing.
"I always want to lead the Sui Dynasty to a bigger and stronger way, but the heavens do not give it to you, and the accumulated demerits will cause harm over time. I have the heart but lack strength. The prince is smart. Although he is young, he has great ambitions and distinguishes right from wrong. He will definitely be stronger than me after two or three years of training. There are demerits and advantages to succeed to the throne. He will know better than me how to manage this empire. I can trust you, and don't let me down."
Gao Kaitai had already broken his forehead and blood flowed continuously.
The emperor asked someone to help him up, and Su Buwei got a secret decree: "I not only arranged for you, but also arranged for others. When the time comes, the person who assisted the prince will go back. This time is my death... Li Yuanshan thought he was incredible, but how could I trip over a stone twice? I followed what he thought because I had to go like this."
Gao Kaitai received the secret order and was sobbing that he could not speak. Jin Shixiong next to him also cried, and the two old ministers felt that their hearts were almost broken.
"If nothing unexpected happens..."
The emperor said lightly: "Li Yuanshan's ambush will set up a decisive battle place west of Xiangcheng. He thought that the troops I could bring were less than 600,000. His rebels, Luo Yao's troops, and the troops of the Mongols, would inevitably be defeated after three rounds of encirclement. In fact, he was wrong. I only brought 400,000 brave men... What I am sorry for are the people. They all followed me to the northwest with my dream of serving the country, but I didn't know that I knew from the very beginning that they could not go back..."
The emperor paused for a moment and suddenly said to Su Buwei: "I want to drink."
Just as Su Buwei was about to say that he couldn't drink, the emperor glared at him: "You still have to care about me?"
Su Buwei felt a little bitter and turned his head to get the wine and poured a glass for the emperor. The emperor took a sip, then tilted his neck to drink the wine. After drinking the wine, he immediately coughed violently. But as a result, the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.
"I haven't drunk for a long time, so I'm greedy."
He smiled apologetically at Su Buwei: "I know that the eunuchs privately call you Old Gou Su, and you will bite whoever I say... This name is vulgar, but I think it means praise. Old Gou Su... You have to die with me."
Su Buwei knelt down on the ground, bursting with tears: "I will always follow His Majesty to serve you."
