Chapter 369
It was already dawn, and the sun washed in the spring rain shone brightly again, but the entire Kyoto Luoyang City seemed to have lost its vitality overnight, and the whole city was dead.
It rained heavily last night and the waterways and ditches in Luoyang City were not able to be discharged in time. Most of the low-lying neighbors have been flooded with water, especially the Luoshui River, which is passing through Kyoto. This city river channel, which used to be like a pearl necklace, was full of water at this time.
The bright river water in the past has now turned into a red river, with floating corpses everywhere in the river. There are not only prisoners in the guards, prisoners in prison clothes, many rangers in short clothes, and many unidentified corpses in black.
It was not until the morning of the day that many people who were worried and afraid last night opened their doors with panic and walked out carefully. Groups of people in three or five looked sad and cleaned up the houses burned by fire, as well as the neighbors in the streets and rivers.
On the night of last night, the city was full of red. In the afternoon, people died in every street, basically every street, and there were people who died in the riots of last night. There were only a few families, and there were funerals. The city was covered with mourning, and there were white paper money everywhere.
In the Liangyi Hall of Ziwei Palace, Yang Guang stayed up all night, his face full of fatigue. But no matter how tired he was, he couldn't stop his anger. Holding a gorgeous ritual knife, Yang Guang stared fiercely at Sima Dekan, the commander of the black-clothed iron guard who was reporting below. Empress Xiao held the six-year-old Zen Master Yuwen and Princess Izumo, sitting on the side, full of worry.
Sima Dekan knelt in the hall, always feeling that the emperor's gorgeous gold-inlaid sword would cut on his neck at any time. He was careful to say something, fearing that his big head would disappear if he didn't say anything.
"According to the reconnaissance of his subordinates, he rebelled last night and started attacking the mansion of Duke Tang Li Yuan, and also attacked Duke Xu Yuwen, and sent a group of troops to attack the Mansion of Minister Pei of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. However, the guards in the mansion of Master Pei were discovered in time, which avoided a major disaster.
Immediately during the garrison, the rebel party set fire everywhere in Kyoto, and then attacked the Dali Temple Prison in Kyoto, the Ministry of Justice, and several prisoners in the Henan Prefecture Prison. Not only did all the prisoners be released, but the ancient prisoners were also burned, killed and robbed everywhere in the riots in Kyoto." "Due to the rare heavy rain last night, the guards patrolling the city were a little relaxed, which gave the rebel party a note to take advantage of."
Yang Guang interrupted him impatiently and said coldly, "You always rebel against the party and rebel against the party. I'm afraid that no one has been found out yet?" "Damn it, I have dispatched all the black-clothed iron guards to conduct investigations and inform them to Henan Prefecture. The two Jinwu Guards' yamen will conduct all their efforts to conduct reconnaissance. I believe there will be an answer soon."
"Soon, I'm afraid yours will not have any results soon without three or five months, right? I ask you if there is any news about Chen Kefu now?" Sima Dekan secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead and said hesitantly, "Reply to Your Majesty, the black-clothed Iron Guards and the counties in Henan have searched for more than a month, but they have not found his traces, and the army in Hebei and Shandong have not found anyone sneaking into Liaodong from the Central Plains. So the ministers and others agreed that Chen Kefu had died under Li Shimin and Li Yuanji a month ago."
"Do you dare to use your head to guarantee what you just now?" Yang Guang looked at the sword in his hand and said coldly without any emotion.
"My, my minister" Sima Dekan held it in for a long time but did not dare to use his head to guarantee it. In fact, in his heart, he always felt that Chen Kefu was still alive.
Yang Guang snorted coldly, "Don't you dare? Or do you think Chen Kefu is still alive, but you can't find him?" Seeing Sima Dekan lying there and not dared to raise his head, Yang Guang was silent for a while. Although he wanted to cut off his head with his own hands at this moment, there were too few people who could really use it and were trustworthy now, so Yang Guang could only tolerate it temporarily.
"Continue to talk about the situation of the rebellion last night, is there any news about Princess Nanyang?" In fact, Yang Guang had just suspected that Chen Kefu was still alive in his heart. However, last night, Kyoto was in chaos, and he realized that he had first washed away the Li Mansion and Yuwen Mansion. If Pei Yun had not discovered it in time, the Pei family would not be able to get rid of the blood-slaughtered result. Especially later, the rebel party tried his best to break into the palace, but did not come to assassinate him, but instead robbed Princess Nanyang. According to his speculation, the rebellion was very likely to be Chen Kefu's instructor to kill Li Yuan, Yuwen Shu, and Pei Mansion for revenge. It was likely that the robbery of Princess Nanyang was in Princess Izumo's palace at that time, while Princess Izumo had a close relationship with Chen Kefu. Last time she reported to Chen Kefu and ran with him once. After a long time, he believed that the rebellion last night was done by Chen Kefu.
Sima Dekan organized the following words: "Last night, there were many rascals and thugs in Kyoto took the opportunity to steal property, as well as prisoners from various prisons, and many people in Kyoto took the opportunity to make trouble. In addition, there were a large number of rascals in black, and ministers and other rascals. It was these rascals who were the masterminds, and the rest were the rascals. The Kyoto Imperial Army last night, suppressed the riots. To this morning, except for a few rebels in Luoyang City, not only have yet to be searched, but most of them have been executed. According to statistics, there were nearly 10,000 prisoners, 30,000 rascals and rascals in Kyoto last night, and nearly 10,000 people in Kyoto were in chaos under the planning and instigation of nearly 1,000 rascals and rascals in Kyoto."
There were more than 50,000 people, which was the number of people who died in Kyoto last night. Among them, there were more than a thousand men in black, and the remaining prisoners and gangsters who took the opportunity to make trouble were less than 10,000. The remaining 44,000 were actually innocent people. They did not die in the riots of prisoners and gangsters, but died in the hands of the imperial guards who were searching for the whole city. Most of them were because the guards robbed property, and then set fire to burn the whole family to death and destroy the corpses.
This is not the behavior of a certain unit of the Imperial Guard. This is the sudden surprise of most people in the entire hundreds of thousands of Imperial Guards last night. Although Sima Dekan is the commander of the black-clothed iron guard, he dare not tell the emperor the real truth behind it. Moreover, with the emperor's style, he might not care about the life or death of those promoted and fighting people.
Compared with the people of Dongdu with more than one million people, 50,000 people are not a big number. But if you look at it separately, 50,000 is a big number. There were more than one thousand counties in the Sui Dynasty, with a total population of more than 40 million, of which one of the Central County of the Sui Dynasty, was 50,000 or 60,000. The turmoil last night was equivalent to smearing all the population in a county.
"Is there any news about Princess Nanyang?" As expected, Sima Dekan So-sing, after hearing that 50,000 people died, the emperor frowned, but did not say much, but continued to ask about Princess Nanyang.
"I have arrested some enemies and are stepping up the interrogation. I will rescue His Highness Nanyang Princess as soon as possible!"
"Bad!" Yang Guang flew over with a sword, just a little bit before Sima Dekan's head lying on the ground. The sharp blade that was so close to him made Sima Dekan's heart hang in his throat.
"What's the use of me wanting you such a waste? The imperial guards of hundreds of thousands of people in the East Capital and more than 100,000 local government troops are in Jingfan. Now the rebel party has caused the rebellion to disrupt Kyoto and bloodshed the two important officials of the court.
He even let the rioters break into the palace and kidnapped my princess. Until now, there is a big gap in the palace wall across the east. What else can you waste your food besides wasting your food? I should hang you all! Otherwise, there will be rioters who don’t know where to break into my palace one day." "Your Majesty, please calm down!" Queen Xiao saw that Yang Guang had gone wild, so he hurriedly spoke out to comfort him.
Yang Guang glared at Sima Dekan, "Why don't you get out of here and find a princess for me. Stay here, can you want to wait for me to give you a banquet?" "I'm leaving!" Sima Dekan hurriedly got up, bent down and retreated.
Sima just left, but another inner shi trot into the hall. "Your Majesty, Shandong Rong Duke is coming to the Grand Marshal Fei Ge urgently report!"
"Is it because Shandong's urgent report is that something has changed in Liaodong? Come on!" Yang Guangmeng changed.
He trotted and handed over the urgent report. When Yang Guang opened it, he saw two letters, one of which was written by Hu'er. His handwriting was sloppy, and he added an urgent matter at the glance. He read it in a hurry, but the more he read it, his face became more ugly. In the end, he threw the letter directly on the ground.
Lai Hu'er's letter was actually very short, and there was only one content. Their latest reconnaissance learned that Chen Kefu was not dead, but returned to Liaodong the day before he wrote the letter. The matter was absolutely true. The spies they invaded Liaodong had confirmed this information. Chen Kefu went to sea from Shandong and went ashore at the Beisha Port. On that day, the civil and military officials from Liaodong gathered in Beisha City to welcome him, and nearly 300,000 people rushed to the port to welcome him. The scene was grand, and the Liaodong military and civilians were excited and their morale rose sharply.
Moreover, on the same day, Chen Kefu held a military parade ceremony in Beiduo City, and the Liaodong civil and military swear allegiance to the swearing of allegiance.
In addition, among the various tribes in Liaodong that day, the Khitan King Adina, the mohé king Tudi, the Khitan Dahe clan leader Mohui, the Silla king Jin Baijing and other envoys stationed in Liaodong all showed Chen Kefu the support of all tribes for him.
Yang Guang became more angry the more he looked at him. All the world was the king's land, and the guests who led the land were the king's ministers.
Now that Chen Kefu returned to Liaodong, all the military, civilian and military officials in Liaodong actually turned to Chen Kefu's side. In this way, his previous strategy of trying to pacify Liaodong without fighting has completely failed.
"How dare you deceive me!" Yang Guang was furious and kicked the desk in front of him. After a burst of anger, Yang Guang picked up the letter that had not been read from the ground, and saw a few short lines of words written on the letter.
"Chen Kefu killed the White Horse with the Khitan, mohé and Silla families in Beisha City on the third day of the third month. He has sworn in Liaodong and has formed an alliance with blood. Chen Kefu borrowed 100,000 troops from the three families, gathered 270,000 troops from Liaodong, and combined 370,000 troops, claiming to be 500,000. He has issued a sworn manifesto to the world!": The second update is here, please vote! If you have monthly votes, please vote for Muzi. Now is the double period.
