Chapter 168 Your Majesty, I said that I can't reason with them(1/2)
Chapter 168 Your Majesty, I said I can’t reason with them
Chen Ying's sharp eyes slowly glanced at the ministers, with a playful smile on his face, and said, "Who was going to impeach this general just now?"
"Impeach!"
Impeachment of your sister! Haven’t you seen Chen Ying stand in the Tai Chi Hall, holding a bloody horizontal knife in his hand, staring at him with a slight slaughter. He has a disagreement and may be cut down at any time? Impossessed him, isn’t that the birthday boy ate arsenic and thinks his life is too long?
What's more, the general of the station hall did not come out to stop him.
If Li Jiancheng showed fear, it might be that Chen Ying wanted to rebel, but Li Jiancheng's expression was as normal, obviously this was acquiesced by Li Jiancheng.
Chen Ying shouted loudly: "Are you all hoarse? If you are not dead, just squeak!"
The loud shout was like a bolt from the blue, which scared hundreds of officials present to shock. They were so brave that they almost sat on the ground. The less courageous ones even trembled and their urinated urged.
The generals or military officials present were so happy to see this scene. They looked at the important officials or outstanding children of the clan who usually needed to look up to him. At this time, all of these people were shaking like sieve and sweating like grout. The generals looked at each other, and they all felt the meaning of understanding the air from their eyes.
Over the past few days, these grandsons have jumped up and down, raised their eyebrows and raised their eyes at the military generals, and grabbed them from both sides. As for the censors and censors, they are even more excited as if they were injected with chicken blood. Either they were impeached for their personal morality, or they were tyrannical, or they were ruthless and bloodthirsty and were easy to kill.
Some military generals and officials have no way to defend themselves. For example, the common problems of these military generals are also the only way for them to get along with the big-headed soldiers. Do you really think that a gentleman can command these big-headed soldiers? That is definitely a big fuck.
In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhuge Kongming, who was praised as a model of Confucian generals, was actually nothing to do with Zhuge Liang in his early military operations. He was all engaged in logistics. Many so-called military strategies were fabricated, and some in history actually did not give advice at all, but unfortunately they were put on Zhuge Liang's head.
Liu Bei led Pang Tong to Sichuan. After pacifying Yizhou, his number one adviser was Fa Zheng. There was no military affairs for Zhuge Liang for a long time. Zhuge Liang only surfaced after Liu Bei's death. The combat effectiveness of the Southern ethnic minorities was suppressed. The military combat effectiveness of the regular army of the Shu army had an overwhelming advantage over the rammed ethnic minorities. Zhuge Liang's purpose was to pacify the ethnic minorities, which reflected his superb political skills here. As for the subsequent Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang also fought steadily and consumed a lot of national strength, but did not achieve any substantial results.
The military generals were very happy, while the civil officials felt like they were losing their parents. Until now, they realized that Chen Ying was such a terrifying person. If he went against such a person, he would be killed!
Their premonition is very good.
Amid Chen Ying's roar, Zhang Huaiwei, who had just taken over as the General of the Zuowu Houwei Guard, immediately led ten Zhechong Mansions of the left and right Wu Houwei Guards, and thirty regiments of the Tang army elite troops rushed to various fangs in Chang'an City. On each Fangli street, he directly set up a horse-resisting horse and set up road barriers. Groups of Wu Houwei Guard soldiers were holding bows and crossbows, or holding swords and shields.
Behind the regular Wuhou Guard soldiers, there were the archers led by Fanglili. Most of these soldiers were retired from the Tang army and were mostly older. Although they remained silent, their murderous aura was very strong.
The common people saw so many soldiers rushing to the streets, especially the cavalry. The railway was like thunder and the sword was shining like a sword. Seeing these mighty and majestic Tang soldiers, the people were weak.
Originally, the main force that aristocratic families disrupted Chang'an City was these civilians, the elderly, weak, women and children. Under the command of the aristocratic families, they demanded that the government accept their opinions and punish Su Dingfang, the Shandong general who colluded with the enemy and treason.
Severely punish the tyrannical general of the Right Wu Guard, Yuchi Gong.
Feng Li, the general of the Youtun Guard who severely punished the sect.
Severely punish the Right Prime Minister of the Shangshu who betrayed the clan and forgot his ancestors, the Minister of Justice, and the Minister of Political Affairs, Wei Ting of the State Council.
Severely punish General Li Anyan, the left-level guard who sold official positions and titles.
Severe punishment...
If Li Jiancheng truly accepts public opinion and severely punishes these officials who are pushed to the forefront, Li Jiancheng will become a real lonely person.
At this time, the soldiers of the left and right Wuhou Guards distributed in various yards and important streets, holding iron horns, shouted at the people who were staying on the street: "According to the order of General Chen Linggong of the Grand Sima, martial law was imposed on Chang'an, and you were restricted from going home within a quarter of an hour. Before the martial law was officially lifted, no one was allowed to stay on the street, not openly gather, not publicly make any irresponsible remarks, nor do they carry out any form of personal attacks on the court, the government office, and the army. Those who violate the order..." Speaking of this, the cold voice paused for half a second, and his tone was chilling: "Don't kill!"
The real people were instantly frightened by the official declaration of the Wuhouwei. After all, when facing officials, the people are naturally at a disadvantage.
The people subconsciously and habitually obey the government's command and order.
Seeing the real people slowly leaving, the navy of the aristocratic clans in the crowd immediately made a response.
They shouted at the soldiers of the left and right Wuhou Guards: "We won't leave, what can you do to us!"
"The emperor violated the law and committed the same crime as the common people. Why should he protect these criminals?"
"The sun is bright, where is the law of heaven!"
"What are you lowly soldiers and gangsters? You dare to show off your power in front of me! If you have the guts, kill me and let me see how you kill me!"
"Yuchi Gong's terror, if you have a genus, you can kill it. If you don't have that kind of species, you'd better get back and eat your breasts!"
"The Holy Emperor is in court, you ghosts and monsters will not have a good end!"
"Kill, come and kill! We are not afraid of you! If you have the ability, kill us all!"
The people who were originally going home suddenly became hesitant when they saw this scene. People like to follow the crowd, and as long as someone takes the lead, their courage will become bigger.
The crowd was infuriated and shouted.
Faced with this situation, the soldiers of the left and right Wu Hou Guard were a little panicked. They could ignore the enemy's threat and let them charge in the rain of bullets. They would never frown.
The key is that the people opposite them are all "people". Since ancient times, as long as you dare to light a butcher knife to the people, you will not end up being a good end. They are all afraid of being nailed to the pillar of shame in history, and even more afraid of raising the knife to the relatives in the crowd.
In this difficult situation, from the lieutenant to the lieutenant, the lieutenant to the general, the general naturally turned to the hands of Zhang Huaiwei, the general of the Zuowu Guard.
Zhang Huaiwei was actually not in the military palace, but stood on Zhuque Street in Chang'an City. Tens of thousands of people gathered on the entire street. At this time, with the help of those who were interested, the originally unarmed people had inexplicably more horizontal knives, kitchen knives, or sticks in their hands, and there would be a brick.
The generals looked at the usual dull general Zhang Huaiwei. Zhang Huaiwei was the only general among the sixteen guards who had no relatives, family, and no aristocratic background. Just like Luo Shixin, who was originally from a poor family, his wife was from the Cui family in Qinghe, and was a first-class wealthy family in the world.
Luo Shixin also had some relationships with aristocratic families.
However, Zhang Huaiwei is different. His wife is Gao Si Niang in Chen Ying's mansion, Gao Wenjin's widowed aunt, and a poor family among poor families.
Even if Zhang Shigui is here at this time, he will consider the gains and losses. If Duan Zhigan was in this position, he would never dare to order. Even Guo Xiaoke would probably have to mix with him.
However, Zhang Huaiwei did not hesitate. He was Chen Ying's most loyal subordinate. Not to mention that Chen Ying ordered them to suppress the rebellion, even if he led his troops and directly attacked the Tai Chi Palace, he would not frown.
Zhang Huaiwei looked at the people who were getting closer and closer, and there was no emotion in his eyes. He silently picked up an iron-tied bow, slowly buckled the arrow, and slowly buried the strings as if facing the charge of the Turkic cavalry.
"call out!"
The arrows in Zhang Huaiwei's hand broke out of the string and flew towards the crowd. In the team, a "people" holding a kitchen knife and preparing to charge fell down.
A sharp arrow shot into the mouth of the common man, and the back of his head was penetrated, and blood and gray brains flowed out along the arrowheads.
The arrow in Zhang Huaiwei's hand is an order.
The left and right guards' team seemed to have been hypnotized, and the other crossbow soldiers of the left and right Wuhou Guards couldn't help but follow Zhang Huaiwei's rhythm and pulled down the mechanical scoops with force.
"Dang thump!"
A metal tremor made the air tremble, and a row of crossbow arrows turned into cold stars with the wind and shot out! After shooting, they handed the crossbow back, took the powerful crossbow handed over by the second row of shooters, glanced slightly, and pulled the motor again...
The muffled sound of crossbow arrows entering the flesh came one after another, and blood stars splashed out from the rows of people in front. They screamed and hissed, and fell down with a bang! The people behind were shocked. The lethality of the Tang army's crossbow was so terrifying?
In fact, the lethality of bows and arrows is actually not strong. In the tragic battlefield, you are caught in an arrow, like a hedgehog, and you can still slash people with swords. However, facing a group of civilians who don’t even wear leather armor is enough!
As rows of shots were shot, a bunch of blood mist was carved out among the crowd. The civilians who might not even have killed a fish never dreamed that the soldiers would shoot arrows when they said they could not hide. The only thing they could do was to raise their eyes, stare at the arrows flying by at high speed, penetrate them hard, let out a shrill scream in despair, and then fall down.
Zhang Huaiwei turned over and pointed at everyone and shouted: "Get home right away, otherwise you will die!!!"
Now no one dares to doubt what this devil said. The people of Chang'an City were not terrified until now to find that once these Tang soldiers were angry, they were so terrifying!
They were both heartbroken and looked disgusted. They screamed, cried, ran away, trying to escape from these big-headed soldiers who were killing without blinking, which led to a bigger tragedy. So many people were crowded together and trampled on each other, and countless casualties were immediately killed and injured!
The riots in Chang'an City streets were quickly calmed down. Except for more than 300 people who died tragically and more than 500 were injured, everything returned to its original track.
The ministers of the aristocratic families received this result, which was obviously beyond their expectations, but they were expected.
Soldiers actually dared to kill civilians, and thus they occupied the moral commanding heights.
The servant Chen Shuda jumped up tremblingly, pointed his halberd at Chen Ying, and shouted sternly: "You...you dare to instigate soldiers to start killing on the streets of Chang'an!? Do you still have the king's laws in your eyes? Do you still have humanity?"
Chen Ying sneered: "It was them who attacked the soldiers of Wuhou on the left and right first. Since they dared to attack the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, they should have the courage to bear the revenge of the soldiers of the Tang army."
Dugu Mou, Duke of Liyang County, screamed: "Are you still a general of the Tang Dynasty? Are you still a general of the Tang Dynasty?"
His eyes, which were already scary, are now wider, like a furious toad, but their voice is like a lion, which is very scary: "If you still admit that you are a general of the Tang Dynasty, you should order these soldiers to stop this inhumane massacre and arrest these innocent soldiers who kill innocent people and punish them with the culprit!"
Chen Ying laughed loudly as if he had heard the best joke, and the laughter was extremely loud, which made everyone's ears buzz.
Chen Shuda was even more angry: "What are you laughing at? Is it funny?"
Chen Ying didn't say anything, and he couldn't speak. He was so happy that he couldn't straighten his waist and tears fell.
Dugu Mou roared furiously: "What are you laughing at!"
Many ministers showed an angry look. In their opinion, Chen Ying's behavior was extremely impolite, a humiliation of them, and a contempt for the Tang Dynasty!
Li Jiancheng, who was sitting upright on the imperial throne, seemed to be out of the matter, looking at the show.
In fact, Li Jiancheng was just sadder than death. He was too disappointed with the officials of these aristocratic families. After several struggles, Li Jiancheng finally understood who was his real support.
The world of the Tang Dynasty was not obtained by the words of scholars and officials. Although they did make great contributions at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, such as surrendering to Bashu and inciting the Hebei clans to surrender, and of course, there were also Jianghuai. However, the direct heroes of the surrender of Jianghuai were not the ministers in the court, but Du Fuwei who was in a seclusion.
After a long time, Chen Ying finally stopped laughing wildly, straightened his waist and gasped, and said, "I laughed at you for being hypocritical!"
Chen Shuda's expression suddenly became extremely ugly.
As a politician, a highly respected veteran of the Three Kingdoms and Six Dynasties attaches most importance to his reputation. What is going on in private is the same thing. Anyway, this reputation must be maintained, otherwise it will be difficult to survive in this circle.
This reckless man dared to scold him for being hypocritical in front of all the civil ministers, and the humiliation of him was over. Just for this, he would never stop with Chen Ying and not jump out on the spot to fight with Chen Ying. It was the result of his efforts to restrain him.
He had no choice but to resist because he could not defeat Chen Ying. Although Chen Ying's martial arts value was not the first-class generals of the Tang Dynasty, even Yuchi Gong, Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie, Luo Shixin, and even Zhang Shigui could kill him in three moves and capture him alive in ten moves, but Chen Ying only needed to move a finger to make Chen Shuda fall to the ground, which would be a humiliation for himself.
Chen Ying did not give him a chance to speak because Chen Ying was very clear and slandered, after all, he was not as good as these politicians.
What Chen Ying is best at is the white knife entering and the red knife coming out.
Chen Ying suddenly said loudly: "Now that you just killed a few of you lackeys, you are so heartbroken that you are rushing up and down, but what about our Tang army? Just because you guys are making trouble behind the scenes, the battlefield in Jiangnan collapsed, more than 40 Zhechong Mansions, more than 70,000 soldiers died with their eyes closed, and tens of thousands of innocent souls on Longyou Road, they roared in hell. If Wu Houwei killed your people, you want them to pay their lives. Then you have killed more than 100,000 soldiers, and made millions of people slaves, and millions of people homeless. Should I also want you to pay your lives!"
The Tai Chi Palace fell into silence.
The officials of the aristocratic race looked at the stars and their faces were pale, and subconsciously turned their attention to the important officials.
Shocked, horrified, fearful, disbelief, hatred... those eyes were like countless sharp arrows, piercing the hearts of the important officials.
Chen Ying's words were so horrible. Although there was no evidence to prove that what he said was true, just this sentence made everyone shudder.
To be continued...
