Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 957 The city is full of gold armor

Luoyang city has been fully martial law.

After receiving the imperial decree and ordering soldiers, each army began to take their positions.

City gates and square gates were blocked, streets were patrolled, and gates were set up.

Then, one by one military academies, taking the order issued by the above, began to raid the house and arrest people according to the list.

Luoyang City is full of chickens and dogs.

The people of Luoyang City who have just enjoyed a stable life for a few years are extremely uneasy and terrified.

Through the cracks in the doors and windows, I saw teams of imperial soldiers and horses in action. After watching for a while, I found that there was no riot, no fire, and no one took advantage of the chaos to loot, so everyone felt relieved.

Sun Wuji, the governor of Luoyang, took to the streets in person, and led the servants to beat gongs along the street to proclaim his appeasement.

Only then did everyone know that someone was conspiring to rebel, and the imperial court arrested the rebellious party.

"Hey, these bastards, An Sheng doesn't want to live a life, if he insists on stirring up trouble, he will arrest them all."

Perhaps for many old aristocrats and old gentry, today's life is becoming more and more dissatisfied, but for more common people, the current life is better than before.Not to mention that it is much more stable, even the administration of officials has improved a lot. There are no hidden rules and bad habits in the past, and there are no random donations. satisfy.

East of the city.

Li Mi had someone close the door of the house early, and then sat in the living room drinking tea.He seemed to be calm, but in fact he was very uneasy, even a little flustered. He was very worried that the emperor would take this opportunity to arrest him as well.

After all, he used to be a hero, who knows if the emperor will really trust him.

After Yang Jian usurped the throne and seized the dynasty, he killed all the Yuwen family in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Prime Minister Li Delin dissuaded him, but he was relegated instead.Another example is that in the Southern Dynasties Liu Song, a generation of heroes Liu Yu usurped the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and also killed the Sima clan.

Although he, Li Mi, was not the former emperor, he was, after all, a well-known anti-king during the chaos of the Sui Dynasty.

Although he held a book in his hand, he didn't read half a page for a long time.

Fortunately, the worrying thing never happened. Not only did no one come into the mansion to arrest people, but the housekeeper reported that there was a team of Jinwu guards guarding outside their mansion according to the emperor's order, in case someone took advantage of the chaos to attack the Marquis' mansion.

"It seems that I have saved the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain."

Not far from Li Mihou's mansion, the eldest grandson's house is being ransacked.

Several branches of the Changsun family live in one area, and the mansions are connected to each other. At the same time as they are favored in the Changsun Palace, the Changsun family is also rising in Luoyang.But today, the Jinwu Guard directly broke open the gates of Changsun's houses one after another, and directly broke into the mansion to take people.

The eldest grandson Shunde, the eldest grandson Anye, and dozens of elder grandsons were arrested, and the female family members were also gathered together for registration and custody. Everything in the mansion was sealed up and recorded in the register.

People were panicked, and some people were crying.

Changsun Wuji led the yamen servants past the door, through the gate, he saw the chaos inside.

Someone found him and shouted his name as if he had caught a life-saving straw.

Changsun Wuji turned his head, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and left.

It wasn't that he was cold-blooded and ruthless, it was that their brother and sister had already begged the emperor for mercy, and he was even willing to exchange his official title for the emperor's forgiveness, but the emperor did not agree except to scold him.

The younger sister knelt in front of the imperial palace for a day and a night, and finally passed out, but did not get the emperor's forgiveness.

After this incident, the Changsun family in Henan, even if he was not involved, it would be over.

Along the way, I found that Dongcheng District, where the nobles lived, was full of ransacked mansions.

In the past, the homes of nobles and nobles, the rich mansions, have all been knocked open, and the homes of nobles and nobles who used to be high above are all kneeling on the ground and weeping in fear.

"What's the trouble?"

Changsun Wuji let out a long sigh.

The ransacking of homes and people in Luoyang lasted all day.

The next day, the martial law was lifted, the city gate and square gate were opened, and the people could go out of the Lifang and enter and exit the market again.But everyone found that many wealthy mansions were sealed.

Various rumors also began to come out in the market, about how many families were involved in this big case this time.

On the third day, the imperial court officially announced the imperial edict to the world, announcing the treason case.

There are more than 300 surnames and more than 2000 people involved in this major rebellion case.

This is still directly involved in the conspiracy, not counting the relatives implicated in the case.

There is so much involved.

Those who are interested find that these people can compile a clan chronicle, because almost all the people who participated in the conspiracy were powerful and powerful, and only a few were rebel generals who rebelled in troubled times.

Xuanzheng Hall.

The prime ministers gathered together.

The arrest went very smoothly, without any accidents. Facing the court's thunderous blow, those rebellious parties who had been plotting for a long time were vulnerable, and even powerless to resist.

No one can resist, and no one can escape.

The rebellious party in Luoyang has been brought to an end, and now some rebellious party members in various places are still being arrested.

The problem now is that people have been arrested, but how to deal with them.

Although everyone knows that treason is a heinous crime, after all, too many people are involved.

There are more than 300 surnames, more than 2000 people, and these are all directly involved in the conspiracy. Counting, tens of thousands of people have been involved here. If it is expanded to three or nine clans, it will be even more serious.

Fang Xuanling insisted on lenient punishment, and only pursued the conspirators without expanding the involvement.

However, several prime ministers headed by Hou Mo Chenyi believed that these people were lawless and conspiring to cause chaos.

"Your Majesty, the involvement is too extensive." Fang Xuanling remonstrated.

"In your opinion, can it be that they are plotting to cause chaos, and I should be magnanimous?"

"I don't dare, I just ask His Majesty to only pursue the conspirators, not their family members."

However, Hou Mo and Chen Yi insisted on killing them all, so that these old forces would no longer be able to hinder the new dynasty.

"Wei Zheng, why have you kept silent?"

The emperor asked Wei Laodao.

This former wandering Taoist sometimes sees things more purely.

"Your Majesty, I'm just thinking about it. If these people are said to be conspiring to cause chaos, they should all be killed. However, after looking at the list, I found that most of these people are capable people, and many of them are famous scholars and masters in the world." , it would be a pity if it was chopped off with a single knife."

"It is true that there are many talented people, and there are also many capable people, but these people do not use their talents and abilities to serve the new dynasty, but want to plot chaos and rebellion. What is the use of such talents and abilities?" the emperor asked.

"Maybe they'll change their minds."

"Then what do you mean?"

"Your Majesty, I think that there is no need to rush to kill. Anyway, people have already been arrested, and it is impossible for them to rebel and make trouble again. You can think about it again. After all, once you kill someone, the head will be lost and you will not be able to get it back again." It is." Wei Zheng said.
