I am the Empress Dowager!

Chapter 390 Liu Long betrays his relatives and leaves, and Deng Sui ascends to the throne again (Part )

What Deng Sui guessed soon became a reality.

Liu Long was too nervous and was completely irritated because of the incident with his son, which led to him being too impulsive.

Cao Teng was relieved of his duties and instead asked the guard general Du Jigong to investigate the matter.

But how could Du Jigong have this ability? Looking at a group of warblers and eunuchs and eunuchs with pale faces, what else did he feel besides a headache?
Du Jigong didn't want to take action against these guys, and as a man from the northwest, he really looked down on these guys.

But Liu Long's order is there. If he doesn't do it well, he will be in big trouble.

For this reason, Du Jigong could only bite the bullet and walk up.

"Come here, lock them all up!"

Du Jigong didn't know how to investigate this matter, but he knew that according to the rules of the Northwest, if you don't know what to do, then fight!
This is true for dealing with enemies, and he thought it was the same for dealing with these people.

From this day on, Du Jigong captured everyone around the queen and even everyone in the palace related to this matter.

Then the crazy torture began!
Du Jigong is not a cruel official, so the method Du Jigong uses is very simple, that is, whipping!

Crazy whipping!
From that day on, there was constant wailing in the palace, and hundreds of palace residents screamed one after another.

The sound of wailing and screaming made the entire palace tremble.

But even so, they were not able to find out any precise information, because this group of people really didn't know anything.

But if they don't say anything, the whipping will not stop. They have no choice but to speak randomly.

Either he pulls down some people he hates, or he simply drags down some equally innocent people.

In this way, more and more people were implicated, even directly from the palace to outside the palace.

But when Du Jigong brought people from outside the palace in, Liu Long's trouble finally began!

At the beginning, it was Du Jigong who implicated some insignificant officials, even subordinate officials and subordinate staff.

Of course, this kind of person is not a big fish, but he can still give Liu Long a glimmer of hope.

"These people. These people are not enough. These people are far from enough!"

When Liu Long saw that those people outside the palace were indeed implicated, he couldn't help but feel a little happy. It could even be said to be a surprise.

He felt that his method was right, and Du Jigong could indeed surprise him!
Therefore, instead of stopping what Du Jigong was doing, he even condoned it!

And this completely became the basis for Liu Long to dig his grave!

When the first few subordinate officials and subordinates were taken away, some courtiers outside the palace had already begun to object.

However, the noise at this time was not loud, but as time passed, more and more officials were recruited.

Among them were even several great scholars.
After the angry Liu Long saw these names, he was a little hesitant at first. After all, these great scholars only joined the imperial court in the past two years.

Represents the great man’s reputation!
But after a very brief hesitation, Liu Long became fierce again.

"This group of rotten Confucian scholars, who fail to achieve anything but fail more than they do, let's beat them!

At the beginning, they used to criticize the government again and again, criticizing the court and even my housework!

What's the use of keeping these rotten scholars? "

Liu Long's words completely emboldened Du Jigong. The northwest men who also looked down on these great Confucian scholars became completely cruel to these Confucian scholars.

But this group of great scholars may be just like Liu Long said, dictating their royal affairs.

He would also discuss government affairs at every turn, and would even complain crazily if he was dissatisfied with anything.

This group of people don't know how to march and fight, and they don't even know how to govern the place. They just like to talk. However, these people are really not afraid of death.

A group of people even think that death at the hands of unjust people is righteousness!

Die for righteousness, die well!

Therefore, no matter how much Du Jigong whipped them and dealt with them, he never got them to confess anyone.

Even though they were screaming in agony, they were already screaming before the whip fell on them.

But no matter how brutally they were beaten, this group of people just refused to confess one more person.

Even though they screamed and cursed, they refused to say another word.

In this way, half of the great scholars were beaten to death by Du Jigong in just three days.

Du Jigong didn't make any careful arrangements. Looking at the people who were beaten to death, although it was a pity, he just had them thrown out.

Because Liu Long disliked them, Du Jigong not only failed to arrange their posthumous affairs.

He even threw it directly into the mass grave, and that was it!
But that's it, being bullied like this during life and treated like this after death is an insult to these great Confucians.

It is also an insult to Confucianism in the world.

When the bodies of these great scholars were brought back, the world was instantly in an uproar.

Not only officials in the DPRK and China started a crazy counterattack, but even the military.

Liu Long ignored a big problem. Liu Long was trained in the frontier army, and he indeed used good men as generals in northern Xinjiang and northwest China.

Although they also have many generals from generation to generation, the generals are different from ordinary wealthy families. They are more familiar with the family's military skills and have experienced them in the army since childhood.

However, the generals and soldiers in this capital city all come from wealthy families and even the families of high officials.

They are also proficient in the art of war. If it were on the battlefield, the soldiers might not be as brave as the soldiers on the frontier.

But when it comes to ability, they may not be even a little worse than each other.

Moreover, these people are proficient in not only the art of war and strategy, but also the foundation laid by many sages!

There are even some great Confucian talents among these people.

When they saw how crazy Liu Long was, they even started to kill the great scholars in the world.

My heart was suddenly filled with sadness and anger.

This time, it's not just the court that's in turmoil, but also the army, and even the rangers!

"In those days, several great scholars also stood up for us and taught us!
Today they suffered this unjust injustice, and finally ended up like this. How can we feel at ease if we don't care about it?
Today we swear not to kill Du Jigong, and we will never give up! "

In the capital city, a group of more than a hundred knight-errants gathered together to discuss a plan to assassinate generals such as Du Jigong.

And these people have nothing to do with those great scholars. If I have to say it, only these great scholars have helped me with some small things.

But even for these small things, let them make the decision.

And the reason why they are like this is because of three simple words.

"Gongyang Family" At this time, Deng Sui had already put on his court uniform again. Looking at the majestic Empress Dowager of the Han Dynasty in the bronze mirror, Deng Sui slowly spoke.

"The Gongyang family is really the people that I, a big man, both hate and love!"
