"Your Majesty's decree is coming, and these rebels will be beheaded. But more than 10,000 people will be killed, this is the largest number of people killed since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and the largest loss of those families. "Yushitai, Wei Zheng sat on the upper hand, and Xu Jingzong and the others below were sitting in a precarious position, their faces were calm, but they didn't know what they were thinking in their hearts.

"Lord Wei, although these people are all rebels, they can be regarded as human lives, Your Majesty is killing these people like this, isn't it too cruel?" A middle-aged man couldn't help but say.

Wei Zheng glanced at the man, and then glanced at Xu Jingzong, who was in the hands, this person is called Gao Jifu, and he is still a member of the Bohai Gao clan, but unlike the other children of the Gao family, this person is resolute in nature, likes to speak out, and has few friends in the officialdom. But because he is a member of the Gao family, although he did not participate in the affairs of the Gao family, he was not accepted by the ministers, for fear that he would be affected by him one day. However, Xu Jingzong saw his ability, and in the name of Li Chengji, the king of Chen, he contacted this person, so that Li Chengji had a few more allies in Yushitai.

"If it is a rebellion, it should be punished, and this is true for anyone." It was Liu Xun who spoke, he is now a scholar and servant of the imperial history, and he can also speak in the imperial history platform. Compared with Gao Jifu, Liu Xun followed Li Chengzong, and was an authentic Baohan faction, competing for the right to speak with Xu Jingzong and others in Yushitai.

Wei Zheng's face was resolute, not angry, he glanced at everyone, and said: "The emperor's holy decree is about to be issued, and Jinyiwei has already informed the Wude Hall with a secret letter, we are now preparing in advance, and when His Majesty's holy decree arrives, we will immediately kill these rebels." It is useless for you to argue about whether this matter is merciful or cruel at this time, and this official wants to tell you that as long as it is a rebellion, no matter how many deaths and injuries there are, it is understandable, and you should not go to the book when you are fine. The benevolence of the Son of Heaven is not for those who are rebellious, but for those who are benevolent and for those who are loyal to the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Yes." Although Gao Jifu and the others were still dissatisfied, they still responded.

"King Han is really powerful, he killed more than 10,000 people in one go, what a big deal!" After everyone dispersed the meeting, Xu Jingzong couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Of course, many of the more than 10,000 people deserve to die, but there are also people who are involved or implicated. It's all killed, it's a pity. ”

"He, like the emperor, doesn't have a good impression of the family!" Gao Jifu sighed and said: "The emperor's government, it's not easy to say anything as a courtier, but how many of those poor children have become talented?" The magistrate of Songzhou seems to be a poor man! After being admitted to the imperial examination, according to the rules, he should go to a difficult place for two years before he can return to the Central Plains, he is good, for a little money, he actually colluded with the Tubo people, and the entire people of Songzhou fell into the hands of Tubo, and now even His Royal Highness the King of Han has to lead the army to inspect, it is really hateful, if the children of the family are different, there is a huge family behind, and the collusion with foreign races should also be feared, lest the whole family have to be buried for him. ”

Gao Jifu said with a trembling brow, colluding with foreign races, the Bohai Gao family also did it, but Gao Jifu was in the capital at the beginning, plus he was not involved in the family's affairs, Li Xin found Gao Jifu through Jinyiwei, which spared Gao Jifu's life, it can be said that this is a warning, and no one in the world dares to offend.

"Those poor children are not all like this, after they become rich, they don't know everything." Xu Jingzong pretended to be sorry and sighed: "Some people say that King Han will definitely inherit the throne in the future, but it looks like this, even if he inherits the throne in the future, we courtiers must be careful!" If the king of Han is not careful, he will take our lives. ”

Gao Jifu and the others were stunned, and there was a hint of unsightliness, no one wanted to serve a cruel emperor, if this emperor did not have a good impression of the family, it would be even worse.

"Let's go! Let's go! It's also a matter of resignation. Xu Jingzong saw the looks on everyone's faces, and with a secret smile in his heart, he left the Yushitai first.

"Send someone to spread the news that the king of Han wrote to the Son of Heaven and killed more than 10,000 people to rebel." After getting into his carriage, Xu Jingzong said to the little guy next to him: "Remember, it came out of Luoyang, and no one can find out." Since Li Chengji is unwilling to make a move, he Xu Jingzong is unwilling to sit still.

If Li Chengzong is still in Chang'an City, Xu Jingzong must also be cautious in handling affairs, but now Li Chengzong is going to Songzhou to inspect the border, Li Xinyuan is in Liaodong, although there are a few elders in the court to deal with political affairs, but some things are not as good as the Son of Heaven after all, Chang'an City, Luoyang City and other big cities, it is normal for some rumors to appear, not to mention, such rumors really exist.

"The anthill bursts, the reputation of the King of Han is not something that can be hit immediately, you can only calculate slowly, Luoyang is the gathering place of the Kanto family, if you spread this matter, even if you can't go to your position as the king of Han, you can keep the Kanto family away from you. Tsk, in order to conform to the Son of Heaven, His Royal Highness the King of Han is really filial. Xu Jingzong sat in the carriage, shook his head and thought to himself.

Li Xin, who was far away in Liaodong, did not know that Tubo led a large army to attack Songzhou, and he was entertaining Bae In-ki, an old general who had finally arrived in Liaodong, and was accompanied by Jindeman, the former queen of Silla.

"Old general, this attack on Silla and return, expanding the land for thousands of miles, I should appreciate it, but I don't know, is the Pei clan going to gain a foothold on the Goguryeo Peninsula or in the south? Or is it a foothold on the grassland? Li Xin looked at Pei Renji with a smile and said.

"The minister wants to settle down on the Goguryeo Peninsula." A hint of gray color appeared on Pei Renji's head, and he couldn't help but say: "The minister has been in Baekje for the past two years, and the scenery of Baekje is good. ”

"In that case, how about sealing the land of a hundred miles to the Pei family?" Li Xin nodded and said with a smile: "However, there is still a Pei Yuanqing in the Pei family, although he is also the son of the old general, but he is still a general of the imperial court, I am afraid he cannot be regarded as a member of the Pei family." ”

After hearing this, Pei Renji nodded, and arched his hand and said, "The minister understands." ”

"The imperial court is about to issue a holy decree, all families and individuals who canonize fiefs are not allowed to buy fields in the Central Plains, and if there is a rebellion on the family territory with fiefs in the future, I can give each family half a year to solve the rebellion problem, if the family is not good, the court will send troops to it." Li Xin said with a smile: "The Pei family is a civil and military family, so this kind of thing will definitely not happen." ”

Pei Renji's heart trembled for a while, but he still responded with a straight face, this is the strategy of the imperial court to restrict the development of the family, and he cannot be allowed not to agree. (To be continued.) )
