Chapter 546: Change Eleven
The first ray of sunshine in the morning shines on Lin'an City. Yesterday's clouds have dispersed, the sky is clear and the air is fresh.
The people in Lin'an City stayed up almost all night. They heard the sound of soldiers and horses running in the middle of the night yesterday, and heard the shouts of killing at the Nancheng Palace. They all knew that something had happened. Various news had begun to circulate last night, but
None of them have been confirmed, and no one dares to go to the palace where the fighting took place to find out the news, so nothing can be done.
Until after dawn, news came that Prime Minister Qin Hui had launched a rebellion with the intention of attacking the palace and seizing the throne of emperor. As a result, he was surrounded by the imperial army in the square outside Donghua Gate. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were killed and blood flowed like a river. Qin Hui and his soldiers and horses
In the end, Qin Hui failed and was shot to death by an arrow.
The news spread quickly throughout the city, and the people were surprised, happy, and confused. They inquired about the authenticity of the news. They were looking forward to it, but they felt it was impossible. After all, Qin Hui had been in power for so many years, and he was already like a dark cloud.
It has been on top of my head for so many years, and it has never gone away. It is a bit unbelievable to suddenly say that he rebelled.
However, soon, the sound of firecrackers came from the neighborhoods and private squares in the direction of Nancheng. Some people had already started to cheer on the streets to celebrate Qin Hui's death. Some people even ran outside Donghua Gate. They saw the flagpole hanging on the square.
The news was confirmed about the bodies of Qin Hui, his descendants Qin Xi and Qin Tan, and seven or eight other descendants of the Qin family.
This news was like the wave of the Qiantang River, spreading across Lin'an City at an extremely fast speed. Every household, old and young, men and women all rushed to the streets in almost the blink of an eye. Smoke from firecrackers and fireworks was everywhere at every street intersection. Everyone was smiling and knowing each other.
People who didn’t know each other held their hands and congratulated each other. Soon, the people on the street organized themselves, and various festival performances began to be performed. Land boat racing and dragon boat racing were only performed during the Dragon Boat Festival. In August
There are dragon, lantern and lion dances that only happen on the 15th day of the year, fireworks and firecrackers that only happen during the Chinese New Year, and shopping with lanterns that only happen on the New Year's Day... In short, the day when Qin Hui died is a festival for everyone, and the programs of all festivals can be put together and performed.
, because this is more joyful than all festivals.
This is a happy event for the whole people. Never before has a person's death made so many people happy and excited. Qin Hui's image in the hearts of the people can be seen. But for such a person, Zhao Gou actually protected him for more than ten years and allowed him to be the leader.
It is extremely ironic to entrust the entire country to the prime minister who has been the prime minister for more than ten years.
The city also began to purge Qin Hui's gang members. There were too many gang members attached to Qin Hui before, and less than half of the officials in the court were under Qin Hui's family. There were more than a dozen disciples, sons and grandsons. Qin Hui rebelled and was killed.
After hearing the news, the first reaction of these people was to quickly collect some silver and run away with their wives and children. But they could not escape. Yang Cunzhong immediately blocked all the city gates and replaced them with Shenwu Chinese troops.
All the soldiers and horses of the Guards Infantry Division. In addition to the more than 10,000 troops and horses participating in the rebellion, the Guards Infantry Division also had more than 10,000 people who were ordered not to leave the camp and were only allowed to stay in the barracks. Half a step out of the camp.
, it was regarded as a rebellion. Everything inside and outside the city was controlled by Yang Cunzhong's troops.
Tang Situi has become a very busy man at this moment. He is now a hero who abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side to quell the rebellion. He was originally the deputy prime minister, but now
Qin Hui was finished, and he naturally became the leader of the officials. He ordered all officials and minor officials in the yamen not to ask for leave, and all returned to the yamen. Anyone who did not come to the yamen would be regarded as Qin Hui's associates. They came to the yamen.
After that, he led the army in front of the palace to capture Qin Hui's accomplices from yamen to yamen. Rebellious dogs bite the most painful, and no one knows who is Qin Hui's accomplices better than Tang Si Tui. One of these people
Counting one, no one can escape. In a moment, people of all kinds surrounded Tang Si retreat, including those who interceded, begged for mercy, gave gifts, and reminisced about the past, and Tang Si retreat became the biggest attraction.
By noon, notices from the imperial court were finally posted all over the city. It was the imperial edict issued by Zhao Gou to bring peace to the people.
"...Qin Hui was a rebellious minister, betrayed the holy will, ungrateful, and ambitious. He intended to seize the country of the Song Dynasty and hold the emperor hostage to control the world... Fortunately, God has a way and does not allow the traitor to succeed. I have a loyal minister and good general Sasuke, who defeated his plot in one fell swoop...
...I am well aware of his character, corrupt ethics, perverse and domineering, and all his loyal ministers and good generals were punished by him. Shameless flatterers were promoted by him... Qin Hui controlled the power and spread it all over the world. If he made a small comment, he would be arrested and killed.
The ministers in the court, if anyone goes against their will, will control their followers to surround and criticize, kill and denounce them, do whatever they want, play with power, bully the superiors and the inferiors, cover the sky with one hand, and deceive the saints... I know what they are doing, and I want to get rid of them.
In the Qing court, Qin Hui got the news and rebelled, trying to fight to the death... Although the rebellious officials died, their crimes were extremely heinous, so their bodies were exposed for three days to show to the world. Their relatives and relatives were eliminated together, and they were dealt with according to the law without tolerance.
This edict is issued to the people of the world to calm their hearts and minds. I appreciate this..."
An eloquent edict of peace was written with great literary talent, and it was written under the instruction of Zhao Gou. The most important content in it was not to tell the people that Qin Hui was dead, but to tell the people that Zhao Gou had actually known for a long time that Qin Hui was not
He had been collecting evidence to deal with him for a long time. After Qin Hui knew about it, he began to rebel. Then he led a group of loyal ministers and generals to destroy Qin Hui. The whole edict was to tell the people that he, Zhao Gou
He had already grasped Qin Hui's thoughts, and the reason for using him was because he had deceived him for a while. But since he had collected his evidence and knew what he had done, Qin Hui could no longer deceive him.
Once the edict was written, it was tantamount to officially confirming the news of Qin Hui's death. The people in the city were even more excited and jubilant.
The people spontaneously organized a large parade. They went from all over the city to the Donghua Gate of the Imperial Palace to see Qin Hui's body hanging on the flagpole. At first, the soldiers and horses in front of the palace who maintained order in the square were able to control the people who came to watch.
, the people could still control their emotions. But as more and more people gathered, the number of people in the square exceeded 100,000. People looked at Qin Hui’s body hanging on the flagpole, and some set off firecrackers above the square
, some started to set off fireworks and spray them on Qin Hui's body. Then some people shouted loudly that they wanted to peel off Qin Hui's skin, cramp his muscles, break his bones and scatter the ashes.
The people were already excited. With this shout, someone immediately took action. There were only a few hundred soldiers and horses in front of the palace. How could they control the excited people? Seeing that the situation was not good, the leader quickly ordered to evacuate. Now the people
Even more unscrupulously. They cut off the ropes and lowered the bodies of Qin Hui and others. People surrounded Qin Hui and others.
Hui's corpse was spat on, hit with stones, beaten with wooden sticks, and finally someone swarmed up, tearing it with their hands, biting it with their teeth...
Qin Hui's body was not crushed to ashes, because under the torn apart by the angry and excited people, not even the dregs were left on Qin Hui's body. The people not only skinned him and cramped his muscles, but some actually ate his flesh.
, drank his blood. The bodies of Qin Tan, Qin Xi and Qin family members were also torn to pieces.
On the palace wall, Tang Situi, who came after hearing the news, was secretly frightened and happy when he saw such a situation. Fortunately, Fang Zian found him and made a wise choice, otherwise Wu Ying would have been torn apart.
Among the people who disappeared without a trace, I was one of them.
At noon, Zhao Gou convened the civil and military ministers to start a large court meeting. The content of the court meeting was naturally about suppressing the rebellion and purging Qin Hui's gang members. At the court meeting, some people started performing, scolding Qin Hui for his ambition, playing power, and deceiving the emperor.
They failed to live up to the holy will. They said that they had long seen that Qin Hui was not a thing, and had long wanted to expose and impeach him. However, they were suffering from Qin Hui's suppression and could not act for a while. A group of people accused Qin Hui of being corrupt and perverting the law, playing tricks of power, killing loyal people, poisoning the government and the public, and forming cliques for personal gain...
Waiting for these charges, Qin Hui was not unjustly accused. What's more, they began to accuse Qin Hui of being lustful, searching for beauties from all over the world, and having sex with every girl every day. They said that Qin Hui was extravagant and wasteful, eating one for every meal.
Niu, it is said that the chamber pot that Qin Hui used to urinate was made of jade, and the bed he slept on was made of gold. Some even said that Qin Hui forced people to call him emperor, and everyone in the Qin family had to kneel three times and worship him every day when they saw him.
Fang Zian stood in the hall and listened to these words, feeling very speechless. These people really would say anything to survive. However, no one in the hall seemed to scold them not to talk nonsense. Some things were obviously nonsense. Even Zhao
Gouya sat on the throne with his chin in his hands and showed no sign at all. He didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with what these people said.
Fang Zian wanted to scold these people to shut up, but he held back. Why should he come out to make a scene at this time? Qin Hui's influence is quite large and deep-rooted. The evil must be eliminated, and overcorrecting is not a bad thing. After Qin Hui's death,
It takes a long time to whip the corpses and dig out the poisonous remnants, but there is actually no harm in going through all the trouble.
But Fang Zian was anxious to leave the capital to pick up everyone on the island. They didn't know the good news yet, and Fang Zian didn't want to waste time here. So Fang Zian quietly said hello to Yang Cunzhong and said that he wanted something
He had to leave early beforehand, and if the emperor asked, he would excuse himself. Yang Cunzhong knew that Fang Zian was going to pick up his family members, so he nodded in agreement.
Fang Zian quietly exited the hall and stepped out of the dimly lit hall. The sunshine outside was dazzling, the spring light was bright, and the scenery was clear. Behind him, someone's loud accusation came from the hall.
"Old thief Qin Hui... the food he ate was sprinkled with gold powder, and he had to hold it with both hands when he was pooping. He heard that tasting feces can tell the body's diseases, so he forced the doctor in his palace to taste feces... and forced people to swallow it...
