Chapter 259: Victory(2/2)
After walking for a few miles, Wu Ming looked around and realized that the defeated soldiers following him were getting fewer and fewer, and he could not hold on: "Are you exhausted from pursuing soldiers?"
Chen Hu turned around and saw that the dark riding shadow in the distance still showed no sign of slowing down. At this moment, he couldn't help but want to cry.
Are these people all bronze and iron-clad?
After fighting for so long, they rode their horses and rushed out, chased for more than ten miles, running like heavy armor, but they were all out of breath and exhausted from running like a stray dog. But they were still full of fighting spirit. Did they grow up eating meat every day?
Seeing that Chen Hu didn't say anything, Wu Ming didn't say much.
I can only continue to bury my head.
In the evening, I had run for countless miles. After carefully checking, I found that there were only dozens of people left beside me.
The horse under Chen Hu was foaming at his mouth, and even Chen Hu fell down from the horse. As soon as the person fell under the horse, he no longer had the strength to stand up, but just breathed like a bellows.
The rest of the people were not much better, and they fell down from the horse, one by one, and they all lost their energy!
Wu Ming was weak and even lay on the ground without moving for a moment.
But……
Dada da... Dada da...
The familiar sound of horse hooves still came continuously.
Chen Hu was completely confused.
He wanted to force his feet, but he really had no strength. He felt hungry and tired at this time, and he really didn't want to move at all.
Wu Ming said with a pale face and panting, "Why... haven't you exhausted yet?"
Chen Hu couldn't help but curse: "How can I know!"
His voice was weak and he was as angry as a fucking spring.
Wu Ming didn't mention it in one breath, and he couldn't help but complain. If he had known this, he would have tried hard.
Now, I have no strength at all, and the horse sitting down is already paralyzed.
But no matter how much they regret it.
A moment later, a team of cavalry arrived.
They looked at a group of exhausted people on the ground.
The cavalry in the lead was Su Dingfang. Su Dingfang looked down at them, but was not in a hurry to step forward.
He said, "It seems that this is the thief leader. You took their heads."
He said you, which made the cavalry behind him excited for a moment!
These cavalry knew very well that General Su was not a person who robbed merit. It was reasonable that even if all these merits were given to General Su, it would be natural, but General Su asked everyone to take action.
This clearly means to make the great contributions even and share them with everyone.
Although General Su is harsh in his daily practice, he always thinks about everyone when he is sharing money and credit. This is also what everyone is convinced of.
So dozens of cavalry dismounted and took out the short swords at their waists. The blade of the short sword was shining with a dazzling cold light.
One person stepped forward and saw that Chen Hu wanted to struggle to get up desperately. He kicked Chen Hu in the heart. Chen Hu fell down in an instant, and the short knife flashed with silver light, directly on Chen Hu's neck.
Although this short knife cuts iron like mud, it is not easy to cut off a person's neck bone and requires very skilled craftsmanship.
But in the cavalry, he was familiar with the way, just like a slaughter of a cattle!
Chen Hu groaned, and then blood gushed out of his neck. He was unwilling to let his general be killed by a small soldier like a livestock, with his eyes wide open, but the next moment, his body thrust and twitched for a moment, and his head fell into the hands of the cavalry.
The head was hung directly under the horse, and the other cavalry took action one after another. Some people exclaimed when they saw such a murderous scene. They were full of fear, but the cavalry didn't care about their shouts.
Wu Ming's head also fell down, and these dozens of people were easy to die.
……………………
Li Shimin has returned to Chang'an.
In fact, since the entire Chang'an City got news from Yangzhou, it was said that His Majesty had gone to Yangzhou privately and even killed the entire family of the Deng family in Gaoyou. It was an uproar.
The Deng family was not completely without relatives and friends in the court. Although this was not a first-class clan, it was also famous.
In the past, some people treasoned rebellion, and as long as they were children of aristocratic families, they often only killed the evildoers, but their family never pursued them.
This is a rule that everyone has silently adhered to since the Eastern Han Dynasty.
But he never thought that His Majesty destroyed the Deng family for no reason. This was like directly breaking the rules. Such behavior was no longer different from Emperor Yang of Sui.
So... the court was talking a lot, and Fang Xuanling was under great pressure.
At first, the censors impeached one after another and began to scold them.
Or maybe it is said that Your Majesty can't be so cruel?
He also pursued His Majesty's private visit.
Or they showed concern. Your Majesty killed the Deng family without permission. Are you afraid that the Jiangnan clan members will lose all their hearts and half of the Jiangnan rebelled?
After scolding like this for a long time, everyone soon discovered that we were all scolding, why don’t you, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others, as prime ministers?
So, the angry ministers deducted a person who was flattering to Fang Xuanling and others. In order to preserve the presidency, they were so humble to His Majesty that they could lick carbuncles and hemorrhoids. How could such a person dominate the world?
The censors and ministers in the court were furious.
Once this example is opened, there will be endless troubles.
I can kill Deng today. Wouldn't my family be guilty in the future? Will I still kill my whole family?
In later TV dramas, they always killed the clan at any time. In fact, it was almost impossible in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, especially the aristocratic clans, which was even more unthinkable. Only Hou Jing, who had been in trouble in the world, dared to do such a thing. Of course, after the Hou Jing rebellion, Hou Jing's fate was extremely tragic and his whole family was killed.
Now everyone must be in the same mood as others. If they refuse to submit an impeachment, they will be regarded as having the same position as His Majesty.
Fang Xuanling himself was soon overwhelmed by countless impeachment memorials.
Fang Xuanling was so amused that Li Erlang really killed him.
If he doesn't follow him and scold him, he will be scolded.
But once he scolded him, he was not sure about the reason why His Majesty killed Deng in Jiangnan. He was the prime minister, not a naughty man, so why should he scold him?
And he knew very well that everyone was in anger now. Even if he submitted an impeachment memorial, if he didn't scold him ruthlessly, he would definitely scold him. Anyway, he would be in trouble, so it would be better to take a look.
Wait until Li Shimin returns to Beijing.
Li Chengqian was already jumping and jumping happily to meet him.
After welcoming the saint, Li Shimin returned to Xuanzheng Hall and summoned Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others to the front, but saw Fang Xuanling and others with aggrieved look on their faces.
Li Shimin said slowly, "I have been away from the capital for a long time, but I don't know what's going on in the capital?"
Fang Xuanling really wanted to scold him at this time. You Li Erlang are not kind. You ran to Yangzhou without saying a word, but when you came back, pretending to be fine?
