Chapter 1042

There was no silence in Chang'an city all night. Naturally, this incident left a very strong mark in later history books, and even an allusion spread... The Duke of town arrested at night. Chang'an city hasn't lacked such shocking events in recent years, but no matter what happened before, it's more unsettling than arresting people this night. When Yang Yin, the king of Yi, rebelled, Emperor Tianyou also ordered the city to arrest people. Tens of thousands of officials, large and small, and family members were killed. There were not enough carriages to transport corpses outside the city every day at the Caishikou.

Yang Jianchu didn't kill many people when he returned to the court, but Yang Jian didn't kill many courtiers and officials.

Wei Mu is a murderer in Chang'an, but others think he is just a madman.

The whole night that Fang Xie's subordinates arrested people, in the eyes of those who have a clear eye, represents another meaning. No matter how many people killed before, the sky in Chang'an has not changed. But Fang Xie's move may indicate that a new sky will cover Chang'an city.

This is a signal, a solution to completely stabilize the signal of the hall.

Fang Xie didn't enter Chang'an City, but that doesn't mean Fang Xie didn't kill after entering the city. However, most of the winners in history will not kill the welcome in the lane. Although most of these welcome people are hypocritical speculators, successful people should learn to accept all this.

But obviously, Fang Xie did not intend to accept it.

Just after midnight, the Yamen of Chang'an Prefecture was taken over by a large number of Xiaoqi schools. All the officers on duty at night were disarmed and directly thrown into the prison. Before long, they had many more companions. There are many yamen prisons in Xiaoqi school, but they can't hold many people. The cells in Chang'an house are soon full.

At dawn, the prison cells of the Ministry of punishment were full.

Even so, a large number of criminals were brought to the black flag army camp for control. It is impossible to guess how many people were arrested that night, but there is no doubt that this number must be particularly amazing.

As Fang Xie expected, after Pei Dazhi, the mayor of Chang'an residence, was taken down, the old people of all families who had been indifferent to the world for many years in Chang'an City couldn't sit still, and the carriages stopped outside Changchun Garden one after another. Fang Xie didn't see any of them, but he asked people to write down where they came from.

The presence of these people, even if Fang Xie doesn't see them at all, is also a great harvest.

At the time of the early morning, Fang Xie changed into a court dress after washing and went straight from Changchun Garden to Taiji palace. Although Yang Qinyan, the eldest princess of the great Sui Dynasty, has left all the affairs of the dynasty to him to decide, nominally he is still the courtier of the great Sui Dynasty, so the eldest princess still presides over the early Dynasty every morning. However, she handed over the memorial to Fang Xie and won't make any decision at the court meeting. She seems to have no mood or desire to face these court ministers. Relatively speaking, she prefers to stay in her original residence in Taiji palace and stay in a daze against the window for the whole afternoon.

Today, fewer people came to the court than usual, so that the already empty Tai Chi hall seemed more empty. Except that the civil servants and military generals of the black flag army have basically arrived, there are vacancies in all yamen officials. No one knows what happened last night, so the faces of the courtiers outside the black flag army are very dignified.

No one knows what Fang Xie will do next. And they were not taken last night. Who knows if a large number of Xiaoqi schools will pour in at the meeting and catch them all? But they didn't dare not come, because if they didn't come, they gave Fang Xie a reason to start.

In the past, the courtiers would gather together in twos and threes to whisper before the court. Even after entering the hall, someone would talk from time to time. But today, everyone is very quiet.

After Fang Xie entered the hall, the courtiers turned to look at him, and then all quickly lowered their heads. No one dared to look into Fang Xie's eyes, as if they could release poisonous arrows.

As soon as Fang Xie entered the hall, the civilian and military general from the black flag army bent over and saluted at the same time: "I've seen your Lord!"

Compared with other courtiers who were stupid and frightened, it was completely different.

Fang Xie waved his hand and stopped at the front of the queue. Yang Qinyan had arranged a seat for him, but Fang Xie refused to accept it. The subordinates of the black flag army didn't straighten up until Fang Xie stood in his position. Compared with those restless courtiers, the people of the black flag army were very indifferent, as if nothing had happened last night.

At this time, wood three came from the inner court and entered the hall to give a courting first. Then he stood up straight and said loudly: "Your Highness says that you will not come to the early morning today. All the ministers of the imperial court are all in the hall."

As soon as this was said, all the courtiers took a breath of cold air.

All thought that the long Princess Yang Qinyan could be bullied, but now I can see that the woman's mind is really terrible. Last night, Fang Xie let the black flag Army take so many people that Yang Qinyan couldn't have known. I won't come to the morning today. Obviously, I want to avoid it. Well, the eldest princess put aside the matter, pretended not to know, ignored it and let Fang make a decision. Those who had planned to use the long princess could not even see her shadow.

Actually, a lot of people came to Taiji palace yesterday evening to request to meet your highness. But Yang Qinyan asked people outside to tell people that the Taiji palace does not open at night. This is the rule. No matter how big things happen, we have to wait until tomorrow morning. Those who had been shut down had to wait, and as a result, she didn't come at all.

……

……

Mu San looked at the faces of the courtiers. He felt a little proud and depressed. He is now a decent official, but because he is a eunuch, it is most convenient to get in and out of the Taiji palace, so he is still in charge of the affairs in the palace for the time being. Although the feeling of the grand manager of the harem is very cool, he wants to stand in the Tai Chi hall and participate in political affairs like other people of the black flag army.

"Last night."

Fang Xie turned and looked at the courtiers, his eyes slowly sweeping.

"Xiaoqi school and my personal battalion have taken some people. Those who are still here are at ease. I ordered them to take those who are against the imperial court. As for what crimes they have committed, a notice will be displayed later. Now I'll just point out a few people and why they should be taken."

"A few days ago, there was a rebel in Chang'an city. He was in charge of the government, deposed all officials, and killed the king. This man didn't show his true face, so many people still don't know his identity. Later, it was rumored that this man was the Taizu emperor of the Sui Dynasty... What a nonsense. The man who made up such a lie had a clear intention of subverting the Sui Dynasty. It's funny that someone believed it What a lie. "

"As far as I know, most of the imperial family children in the city died at the hands of this man. If this man was the emperor Taizu's resurrection, would he kill his own descendants? This is an obvious truth that many people don't understand. I'm afraid you were all in the Taiji temple in those days? I never forced everyone to maintain a constant loyalty to the great Sui Dynasty But it's understandable to compromise. That's why I won't pursue you here, because you just compromise and don't make trouble from thieves. "

"The traitor killed so many royal family dignitaries. If such a crime can be indulged, what's the difference with the traitor? Lou Kongyu, Minister of justice of the Ministry of justice, Wu Hao, Minister of Dali temple, Duan Chun, Prime Minister of Chang'an Prefecture, Pei Dazhi... These people have the power to maintain the law and discipline of the Sui Dynasty, but they have become accomplices of the traitor in the rebellion. Needless to say, you know better than me. At the beginning, the royal families in Chang'an city , how many of them were arrested by their own people. "

After a pause, Fang Xie continued, "the long Princess doesn't come to the morning because she can't face such a person and can still stand in the court!"

The courtier bowed his head and no one dared to interrupt.

"I'm thinking that after I enter the city, I will cooperate sincerely with all the officials to stabilize Chang'an and even the world. But it's just my wishful thinking... The wicked have their own governance. I'll be the villain who governs the wicked. In troubled times, I'll only say these words once and won't mention them again."

"There's something I want to discuss with you."

Fang Xie walked slowly in the hall: "Xiaoqi school's Yamen has been interrogating all night since last night. No one can hide secrets in Xiaoqi school's Yamen. However... Xiaoqi school's manpower is limited after all, and there are no other things to do these days... Dugu, you will coordinate and arrange later, and everyone will go to the interrogation this morning."

Fang Xie smiled: "there's another advantage to this. Xiaoqi school, no matter how powerful it is, is not familiar with things in Chang'an city. The arrested have known you for many years. You don't need to interrogate them to know what secrets they have. As long as you sit there, you can't let them stop."

Man Chao was shocked as soon as he said this.

Cruel!

Fang Xie's move is too insidious.

Let the courtiers interrogate the courtiers. One of the former colleagues sat in the lobby to try, and the other became a prisoner. Both prisoners and judges know each other very well. They can't hide any dirt. If such interrogation continues, it may not turn the people sitting in the lobby into prisoners.

If the trial goes on like this, the Manchu civil and military are afraid that there will be no one left.

At this time, the courtiers were not only frightened but also angry. Fang Xie made it clear that he was going to catch them all.

"This..."

After the little emperor ascended the throne, Yu Aishan, an old minister invited out again, pondered, took a step forward, bowed and said: "My Lord, this method is so clever that those who do evil will have nowhere to hide. But... The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are involved in this matter, and there will be no other things in the court. If the court stops, it will be of no benefit to the people. In my opinion, I'd better ask all officials to go home and try their best to think about the sins of the captured traitors, and then go back to their homes Write a note and submit it to the Duke. "

In fact, when he said this, he was bargaining. He had completely ignored others. You know, Fang Xie can ask him what crimes those people have committed. Since you all know, why not expose them? If Fang Xie asked, it would be a dead end. If Fang Xie didn't ask, there would be room for mitigation.

It has to be said that Jiang is still old and spicy. Yu Aishan's move seems to force him to have no way back. Why not retreat for progress?

"That makes sense."

Fang Xie smiled: "that's it. You'll spend more time later. Those traitors don't die. After all, they're still sorry for the dead souls, aren't they?"

The implication is that if those people don't die, you may also be bitten to death.

"But by the decision of the Lord!"

Yu Aishan breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart and quietly wiped the sweat of his hands in his cuffs.

Fang Xie, this is the real way to force people to die without paying for their lives. Let the courtiers decide the life and death of those arrested. In order to protect themselves, the remaining people can only punish the arrested people to death. However, it is obvious that Fang Xie does not intend to really kill the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. Since there is room, he can still get along in the future.

Yu Aishan secretly glanced at Fang Xie. The young man smiled so gently, but like a knife.
