Han Shizu

Chapter 761 The Disposal of Kuan Ren

"Uncle, the forbidden army has been put into the city by Yao Ji Neng, and it is in danger, how to deal with it!" The officer under him is a member of the Sun clan, with a solemn expression and words urging.

It's a pity that Sun Xingyou's performance was even worse, his body was stiff, his hands were trembling slightly, his mouth was trembling, and he muttered: "Sure enough, the imperial court will not let me go. The emperor sent the forbidden army here to question me."

"Uncle, what should we do, come up with an idea?" Seeing Sun Xingyou's vacuum performance, the clan nephew couldn't help shouting.

Hearing the sound, Sun Xingyou looked at him as if he came back to his senses, "I'm so upset now, I don't know what to do, you, what advice do you have?"

Seeing this, the officer was stunned, a little speechless, but at this juncture, he didn't care about thinking too much, and immediately said: "Let's run away! There are not many imperial troops, and it will take some time to control the whole city. When they gather If you want to go back to the Langshan camp, if the imperial court can't catch up with you, you will still have a chance to survive."

Obviously, this nephew of the Sun family is not a person with insight, and the advice he gave was not only bad, but also specifically led Sun Xingyou to a dead end.

But upon hearing his words, Sun Xingyou shook his head again and again: "No, no, wouldn't this really be a rebellion? Also, we escaped, what about the small family, what about the tribe, what about this huge family business?"

The officer raised his thick eyebrows, and said in a fierce tone: "Uncle, the situation is urgent, how can we care so much! Otherwise, we are here, and we can only sit and wait for death!"

"This, this..." Sun Xingyou couldn't help but fell into entanglement, he hesitated and said, "Let me think again!"

However, the family nephew gave him time to think about it, but the imperial guards who entered the city did not give him much chance. After a while, there was a sound of hurrying and scurrying outside the gate of the mansion, and the guard came to call the police in a panic.

Outside the Sun Mansion, under the leadership of the inspector, Bai Chongzan led two hundred forbidden troops to attack the Sun Mansion, accompanied by a strong general named Yao Jineng, who was the military capital of Dingzhou. Supervise.As for Li Huan, he took people to control the warehouse of the government office.

"Surround the Sun Mansion, no one is allowed to get away!" Looking at the mansion where the gates were open and the guards retreated, the ease of the process surprised Bai Chongzan, but he still gave orders ably.

The soldiers of the forbidden army quickly separated, surrounded the front and rear gates of the mansion, and occupied the crossing.Bai Chongzan looked at Yao Jineng again, and said, "Yaodu Supervisor, you immediately go to the barracks in each city to suppress and appease the garrison, so as not to cause chaos!"

"Yes!" Yao Ji Neng looked very motivated, that is, he let the imperial army into the city without hesitation.

Bai Chongzan directed to a young officer beside him: "Bai Ding, you go with General Yao and cooperate with you. If anything happens, I will ask you!"

"Follow the order!"

After finishing the order, Bai Chongzan once again looked at the empty mansion gate, heard the bustling movement, and could feel the panic and confusion.With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Bai Chongzan led the people in.

Entering the atrium, Bai Chongzan was a little surprised by what he saw.Including Xingyou's family, the servants and guards waited there obediently, and the weapons and armor were also neatly placed aside to show that they were harmless.

Sun Xingyou took the lead, with a little panic still on his face, when he saw Bai Chongzan, he stepped forward and responded, "Old man Sun Xingyou, the envoy of the Yongning Army, I don't know where the general came from, and he made such a big move, and the armored soldiers accompanied him?"

After looking at Sun Xingyou for a few times, Bai Chongzan relaxed a bit, and replied: "My lord, Bai Chongzan, is here by His Majesty's order to invite General Sun, and if he is abrupt, I still look at Haihan. As for these soldiers, they are here. Protect General Sun's family!"

With that said, Bai Chongzan took out the imperial edict and handed it to Sun Xingyou.After receiving the list, it was Liu Chengyou who took the edict with little literary talent, but the meaning of the edict was very clear. Sun Xingyou didn't read much, but he could understand it. It was to let him resign and go to the camp to pay homage to the emperor. Just go.

Sun Xingyou's face twitched for a moment, a few moments of struggle obviously flashed between his expressions, and finally turned into a slump, he bowed his head and said: "General Bai, Sun knows that he has committed a serious crime, and he is willing to obey the order to visit the emperor and wait for his punishment. It's just my fault." I hope that these family members will not be harmed, there are some family assets in the mansion, the general can take them himself."

Sun Xingyou had an expression of resignation and a very good attitude, and Bai Chongzan smiled immediately: "General Sun was too worried, Bai came here under the order, and only followed the order, doing things within his duties, as for other things , The Great Han has strict military discipline, but dare not offend anything, and defy the law by oneself!"

Hearing what Bai Chongzan said, Sun Xingyou subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and cupped his hands to express his gratitude.

Bai Chongzan waved his hand and sent an order: "Listen, all soldiers, leave the Sun's mansion without any disturbance!"

"Yes!"

Glancing at the situation in Sun's mansion, seeing some of the packed bags, parcels, boxes, and even a disassembled bed placed in the atrium, Bai Chongzan couldn't help but be surprised and said: "General Sun, this is a case of desire. Moving? Looking at the posture, the whole mansion is going to be evacuated!"

Facing Bai Chongzan's playful eyes, Sun Xingyou just said calmly: "Let General Bai laugh!"

Perhaps it was because seeing that the matter had reached this point, he let go of his worries and let go, and Sun Xingyou also regained his composure. In any case, he was also a fighter against the Khitan with his brother back then, and he had a lot of lives in his hands, so it wouldn't be too much Unbearable.

On the camp side, in the early morning of the next day, Liu Chengyou received a report from Tang County.In the early morning of summer, people feel dry and refreshed after washing their face.

Washing slowly, with Hu Zai beside him, he reported to Liu Chengyou: "General Bai and Li Zhizhou led the army in a hurry, and it took four and a half hours to reach Tang County. The imperial edict was issued, and Yao Jineng, the governor of Dingzhou, ordered the door to be opened and put in. , and then quickly controlled the city gates, government offices, barracks, and warehouses."

"So smooth? There was no resistance? What about Sun Xingyou? How did he react?" Liu Chengyou also seemed a little surprised.

Hu Zai reported: "After entering the city, General Bai went to the Sun Mansion to proclaim the edict in person. At that time, the Sun Mansion was packing up the family property and preparing to move. Hearing that His Majesty's edict arrived, Sun Xingyou unarmed himself and respectfully obeyed the edict. Before and after, he did not move. One knife and one sword.

After taking control of the garrison in Tang County, General Bai personally led his people to Langshan last night, and sent people north to take over the defense of Feihu Village to avoid accidents.Li Zhizhou summoned the bureaucrats of Dingzhou to release the list to calm the people so as to calm people's hearts. "

"It sounds like the two new officials took office, and things are going well!" Liu Chengyou smiled.

"Your Majesty, Sun Xingyou and Tang County have come to report that they have arrived, and they are kneeling at the gate of the camp, begging to see you!" Hu Zai reported.

"Xuan!" With a wave of his hand, he ordered.

Soon, a nervous figure crept into the room, plopped down and bowed down: "Sun Xingyou, the guilty minister, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

He looked at Sun Xingyou with great interest, his face was yellow, his beard was flamboyant, his skin was rough, and his appearance was somewhat similar to that of his brother and grandson Fang Jian. It should be because of the overnight journey, and his expression was extremely tired.

Noticing his timid and uneasy expression, Liu Chengyou said leisurely: "You are Sun Xingyou, it's rare, this is the first time I see you!"

"The guilty minister is ashamed. I have not been able to pay homage to him before. Please punish the crime, Your Majesty, without any complaints!"

"You two brothers have guarded Dingzhou for many years, resisted the Khitan, and defended the people of one side. They have contributed to the imperial court. How can I accuse you of this?" Liu Chengyou smiled slightly.

"Do you know why I called you here?" Liu Chengyou asked lightly.

"I know!" Sun Xingyou said.

"Then tell me!" Liu Chengyou waved his hand.

However, Sun Xingyou hesitated, he hesitated a few words, but he didn't know where to start. A thin layer of sweat grew on his forehead, and he kowtowed: "I'm clumsy, I know the rules of the criminal, and I can't do anything else. He said!"

Hearing what he said, Liu Chengyou smiled: "There is no crime at all. If I punish you, wouldn't it be innocent and punished?"

"Chen, I don't mean anything like that!" Sun Xingyou panicked.

Observing his expression, Liu Chengyou asked: "I heard that when Bai Chongzan arrived in Tang County, you were preparing to lead your family, army and treasury goods back to Langshan. Is there such a thing?"

"Yes!" Sun Xingyou buried his head and said: "I feel that the responsibility for the crime is heavy, and my heart is uneasy. I just want to return to the wolf mountain to protect myself. I have absolutely no intention of disobeying the court!"

"Heh!" Liu Chengyou smiled: "There is no abnormality in your heart, why do you act rebelliously? Self-protection? How to protect yourself, defend Yinglang Mountain, and fight against the court?"

"My lord, I was confused for a while, and my mind was deceived, so I acted in such a daze!" Sun Xingyou kowtowed again, and said: "The matter has come to this point, and I know that I have violated the law of the country, and the guilt is unforgivable. I have nothing else to ask but to be quick." Death, to atone for his sins. I only hope that for the sake of the little brother's contribution to the big man, all kinds of crimes will be imposed on the whole body, and the family will live!"

Sun Xingyou's attitude was more sincere, and there were tears in his eyes. As an old man over half a hundred years old, this situation was unbearable.

However, Liu Chengyou's heart has always been as firm as a stone.

After pondering for a while, Liu Chengyou waved his hand and asked Sun Xingyou: "Do you know the imperial court's policy towards the Shi family?"

"I know!" Sun Xingyou said.

"I heard that the so-called nun's body does not rot, but his body becomes a Buddha. It has been preached by people until now. You enshrined it in Langshan. The people rushed to worship and look up at his face. You know what it is to deceive people and people. Is it a crime?" Liu Chengyou said coldly.

"She is the mother of the ministers, brothers, and family. She has always been respected. Although we were based on Langshan in the early years, we were alone and dangerous. We only used his name to gather people's hearts to fight against the Khitan and protect the hometown. But now, the falsehoods are too big to be overthrown. , I know its disadvantages, and it is easier to have the intention, but it is also powerless, and it is difficult to stop the people from turning against it. The minister knows that he has violated the taboo of the court policy," Sun Xingyou said sincerely.

"Enough!" Liu Chengyou interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "I know what's going on in Dingzhou!"

"Get up!" After ordering, Liu Chengyou lingered a few steps in front of Sun Xingyou, and sighed leisurely: "It is not too much to sentence you to death according to the law of the country for the mistakes you have committed!"

"Yes!" Sun Xingyou felt a chill in his neck.

"However!" Liu Chengyou continued: "I think you were ignorant for a while and made mistakes, but you didn't cause any major disasters after all. The problem of Dingzhou is also caused by the government's ineffective supervision and lack of guidance. As a result, the old malpractices have been perpetuated to this day.

Although your actions are absurd, in Dingzhou, you have not done anything harmful to the people. This time, you can be regarded as sincere and rein in the precipice.I will not add to the responsibility, and save your life! "

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Sun Xingyou was overjoyed when he heard that, and fell on his knees.

"However, all previous titles will be dismissed. Donate part of your property to repair Anxi City and Feihu Fortress! Take your clansmen and leave Dingzhou and go back to Mozhou!" Liu Chengyou thought for a while , continued: "Are you convinced?"

"I have no complaints!" Sun Xingyou kowtowed.

"In addition, I have heard about your mother, who can be regarded as a generation of gonis, but you have falsely spread myths, indulged disciples, and deceived the public with evil words and heresies. Not to mention ruining her reputation, she has caused endless harm! "Liu Chengyou said coldly: "Go to Langshan personally, burn his body in public, and let the common people see with their own eyes whether it is destroyed or not! In addition, cooperate with the government to destroy the fort of Langshan and send the rest of them away. All!"

"Yes!"
