Chapter 642: Cover the sky with one hand
Chapter 642: Covering the sky with one hand
The entire Longxing Mansion is now full of pedestrians, and teams of followers occupy the key points of the main street, one post at three steps and one whistle at five steps, and the air is inexplicably tense.
Following the map, the residence of the sect king was surrounded and the army outside did not rush in immediately, but the encirclement was tightly sieged, so that the people inside could not come out.
The palace was already in chaos. On the morning of the same day, news of the King of Wu hanged himself. Then a team of horses arrived here under the leadership of the lieutenant, rushed into the palace and found the body of the King of Wu.
The Wu Palace was already wailing, but unfortunately, these rude military men said nothing at this time. They immediately took down all the guards and slaves in the palace, and all the families were imprisoned. The doctor began to take the account room to register the property. Those who could move were loaded directly with the car, and those who could not move were sealed and recorded in the case.
This is not like a house search, it is more appropriate to say that it is a moving house.
The person who was imprisoned was immediately tortured. Who else participated in the change that day? Not to mention it, he was whipped and confessed, and then he was given a pleasure. Then he immediately rushed to another house according to the clues provided.
The entire Longxing Mansion instantly became hell, and Xingda Prison may not have the momentum of today. Some old people remembered the large prison more than 20 years ago, and the scale may not be greater than today.
The only advantage is that there are no riots here. More than 20 years ago, more than a thousand people were convicted, and soldiers took people everywhere, and cracking and harassing them is essential. I don’t know how many innocent people have been implicated. Although there are more arrests this time, as long as they have never committed any crime, no one will touch them.
The reason for this is due to the cavalry on the street. These cavalry soldiers with red scarves tied on their arms are like supervising teams. Anyone who is indiscriminate and unrestrained will be taken away directly. After taking them away, people will never see them again. Anyway, no one knows where they went, and most of them are dead. It is said that a commander personally went to plead for a young military officer who was committing a crime, but was smashed by the future prince consort and said, "Dog, is this a joke to my military law?"
The commander went back in shame, but he didn't even dare to say anything. He was complaining in his heart, but everyone knew that Shen Shaxing really couldn't afford to offend him, so he was beaten up, and there was nothing shameful about it.
The rules were established and everyone followed the rules. However, there were too many people involved in this trip, and they had basically cleaned up all the royal family, foreign officials, and nationalities. At this point, the nationalities were already suffering and could not have fallen into this field.
There was no movement in the palace. Although Li Qianshun received a report every day and heard someone pleading in the harem, Li Qianshun just smiled faintly and ignored it.
The death of the prince has always been a secret, only existed in Li Qianshun's heart. This prison was more like revenge, and the rebellion of the country also made Li Qianshun understand more clearly that he was not the emperor of Dangxiang people, but the Emperor of Xixia. If Dangxiang people dared to cause trouble, Li Qianshun would eliminate them without hesitation.
At this point, everyone in the country was in danger. One by one, the ones were found, the ones who were searched, and the ones who were beheaded were beheaded. The news became worse and worse day by day. Those who were in the previous position and those who were in power suddenly became phoenixes that fell to the ground, which was very sad.
Not everyone was waiting for death. Some wealthy families had hundreds of idle men at home. When they were armed, they dared to resist. However, there were ways to deal with such people. First, they surrounded the house and waited for the cavalry to come with the army, and then they shot arrows and set fire. No one was allowed to release them, and everyone was burned to death.
Chen Ao wrote an inscription enthusiastically for this: No matter how high the skill is, he is afraid of fire.
In three days, more than 9,000 people had found it, but it was obviously too early. Chen Ao was not in a hurry. What he cared most was the estimated price of the house search list. More than 7,000 households were also quite rich, which was as high as more than 90 million. If it were someone else, he would naturally take a breath, but when Chen Ao saw it, he couldn't help but curse: A group of poor people.
These more than 9,000 households are not small families. Among them, there are more than a dozen royal families, and there are also many foreign officials. But they only make this little money, compared with the wealthy people in Quanzhou, it is really disheartening.
Anyway, Chen Ao was not polite in Xixia. He embezzled seven or eight million yuan worth of gold, and all the rest were handed over.
The house search was originally caused by losses, but the loss was suppressed to the lowest level by Chen Ao, so when such a large amount of money was reported, the palace was surprised.
I am afraid that the house search could not be handled within three or two months, so Chen Ao was not anxious. Recently, he was quite concerned about the newly accepted cavalry army. Although this army did not belong to him in name, it actually belonged to his own armed forces. At least Li Ganshun knew about it, and did not say anything, but let him do it.
Chen Ao naturally understood his thoughts when the old fox Li Ganshun was not trusted at the moment, so Xixia must have to train a military horse. Since Chen Ao wanted to train, he naturally opened the door to convenience. In addition, if Chen Ao was the prince consort of Xixia, he was the closest person. Although he had to be guarded against, there was no need to avoid a military horse.
Chen Ao understood that this military horse was equivalent to that given to him by Li Ganshun, but he just lacked a qualification.
The cavalry must be trained with the army, and although the cavalry captain has already had the experience of fighting, he still lacks experience in leading troops. At this time, he can also take the opportunity to intern, how to unite people's hearts, how to train subordinates, and how to be convincing, these are all things that can be trained.
In addition, the cavalry and military were originally Han people, with the same language and similar habits, and there were not many barriers.
Chen Ao drafted the general details of the exercise. At this time, news came from the Xixia Palace, and Li Ganshun summoned him.
Chen Ao really doesn't want to have too much contact with him for this future father-in-law. This person's personality has many similarities with Shen Ao. The closest thing is that he can turn against others at any time. Once he becomes his enemy, he will immediately get rid of the roots and will never think of any old love.
Being with the king is like being with a tiger. Chen Ao can't feel it from Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji is more like an old friend. He is just a little tricky and joking with him. He just smiles and doesn't care. However, people like Li Ganshun made Chen Ao deeply feel the feeling of being in danger at any time. He sighed in his heart. Fortunately, he is a Song Dynasty native and the Prince of Penglai of the Song Dynasty. He is lingering in this Li Ganshun court. I don't know how much care you need to protect yourself.
It was almost the end of the year, and the weather became colder and the heavy snow fell for three consecutive days. Chen Ao had to wear a thick fur coat and walked out of the door under the snow.
When he arrived at the palace city, he happened to bump into Yang Zhen. When Yang Zhen saw Chen Ao, he immediately greeted Chen Ao with a smile. Yang Zhen had seen Chen Ao's wrist. In an instant, he immediately changed from a sinner with a heinous crime to a hot figure in the entire Xixia. The life and death of thousands of people were in his hands.
Chen Ao smiled and said, "Mr. Yang has become much stronger recently."
Yang Zhen smiled and entered the palace side by side with Chen Ao, while saying, "Only you can be fat when you have a broad mind. With the prince in Longxing Mansion, I will be relieved." After saying that, he asked about the inconsistency. Chen Ao said, "It's only a matter of time to completely eradicate one, torture one, draw up a list and then catch people. It will be almost over until the confession cannot be revealed. In another month or two, it will be roughly over."
Yang Zhen said: "The prince isn't afraid that these people will clap and bite them randomly and implicate innocent people?"
Chen Ao's face turned cold and said, "On the one hand, someone will check it out, and on the other hand..." He smiled coldly and said, "Even if you are involved, it doesn't matter. Lord Yang, tell me the truth. Now that the trouble is so big, Your Majesty knows that the country and the palace have reached the same level of power. Will Your Majesty not understand Your Majesty's thoughts?"
Yang Zhen nodded thoughtfully. He just didn't understand why Li Ganshun had such great courage and attacked the entire country.
Of course, Yang Zhen would not know that the death of the prince was not only involved in a King of Yue, but also many foreign officials and sect kings around King of Yue. These people should have been loyal to Li Ganshun, but they did something that Li Ganshun could never forgive. Next, the rebellion of King of Yue made Li Ganshun completely cruel and ruthless, and then he killed him.
In the final analysis, it was the death of the prince that led to a major change in Li Ganshun's nature. The more sad Li Ganshun was about the death of the prince, the more hated those royal families and nations.
Chen Ao smiled faintly, and naturally he could not reveal the answer to the mystery. He just asked: "Your Majesty hurriedly summoned him, but I wonder what happened?"
Yang Zhen said seriously: "I was thinking about this just now. Your Majesty is the most orderly. When will you summon ministers and when to go to bed, there are customizations. There are never any mistakes. Unless something big happens, this time should be when Your Majesty enters bed in the afternoon, why did you suddenly summon someone to the palace?"
Chen Ao smiled and said, "Forget it, I'll know when I go."
Chen Ao and Yang Zhen went to the warm pavilion together. The eunuch went in to report and then invited the two of them in. Li Ganshun sat on the soft couch with a gloomy face. At his feet, a charcoal basin seemed to have been kicked over. When he saw Chen Ao coming in, he was furious and said, "You have done a good thing!"
Before seeing Li Ganshun, Chen Ao was still a little uneasy, but he scolded him in a scattered manner, which made him fearless all of a sudden. Damn, I am not your subject, so how could you scold you? Even the real Your Majesty would never show such a look.
Chen Ao raised his eyes and looked directly at Li Ganshun, and said calmly: "Xiao Wang has done too many good things, such as helping the old lady into the city gate hole, but I just don't know which one the king is talking about?"
In the past, he was called His Majesty, but now he has been called the Lord of the Country.
