Chapter 323: Fierce and Evil
.In Jiankang City, in the Grand Sima Office.
After Huan Wen sat upright in a purple robe, he carefully read all the memorials sent by the secret supervisor. They were memorials submitted by Sima Yu since the first year of Xian'an. The memorials of Grand Sima's inspection of the emperor were ridiculous, but in today's Health City, this is not ridiculous at all. Xi Chao, the Minister of the Central Secretariat, took over the power of the Central Secretariat, and could do anything under his instructions. Moreover, most of the troops in the capital are in control, and these things are as simple as lying on the finger.
"This Linhai County Magistrate is so bold. It is really hateful that he actually turned over the verdict for Yu Xi's old man. Who recommended this person?" Huan Wen said angrily.
"Reporting to the Grand Sima, this person was recommended by Xie An in the fourth year of Yonghe. He had walked in Shang Province. Half a year later, he was given the position of Linhai County Magistrate. He was talented, but he was a little bit pedantic." Xi Chao replied with his black beard.
"What pedantic? This is rebellion. Yu Xi is a rebel minister who was convicted by the court. Isn't it that I am holding your and my face when I overturned the case? The emperor did not punish him. It's really ridiculous." Huan Wen stretched out his hand and waved his hand, "Remember."
Xi Chao picked up his pen and wrote down the name of Sun Rulin, the governor of Linhai County, on a plain paper in front of him. There were dozens of names in the list, each of which was written in red pen, making it look bright and dazzling. One of them had a big black fork behind it, and that was Zhong Hancheng, the Minister of Rites.
Huan Wen put down the memorial and rubbed his eyebrows and said, "That's all, there are some small fuss that cannot make a big wave. You can send someone to persuade him. If you know the current affairs, you can avoid death. If you don't know the current affairs, you will do it one by one. No one is allowed to sing the opposite tune at this time."
Xi Chao frowned and said, "Abide by the order of Grand Sima."
Huan Wen ordered someone to come and sat down with Xi Chao and sighed, "Jingxing, I regret not having you not attracted you to the army to make suggestions, so that the Qin people took advantage of the loopholes and their reputation was greatly reduced. Now this situation is a last resort. What do you think Jingxing?"
Xi Chao remained silent, letting Huan Wen stare at his face with a pair of bull eyes, and smiled and said, "Don't care about the details of great things. This is what Duke Huan often says. Duke Huan also said: If you can't be famous for the ages, why not be infamous for thousands of years? Don't Duke Huan remember it?"
Huan Wen laughed and said, "That's right, is it because the older I am, the more I look forward to it? Last night, I thought about Huan Wen for sixty years. I should have taken some things lightly, but the older I am, the more I value things outside my body. My youngest concubine is only fifteen. Looking at her delicate body every day, I can only sigh that the years are like water and the years are like swords. The more I am like this, the more I am willing to torment her; I once asked her: You are young and young, and you are extremely beautiful, but you are willing to be happy in front of me. I have never despised me when I am old and weak. Why is this? Guess what she said?"
Xi Chao rarely heard Huan Wen whispering about his boudoir at home and asked with interest: "How can she answer?"
Huan Wen said: "She said: Youth is just an illusion, and these things can be deprived of at any time. If a royal family is noble, youth, beauty, youth, and wealth are capital. If people like her are not favored by adults, their appearance is just bad water; if they are not favored by adults, their body is no matter how beautiful it is. No matter how young it is, it is not just a knife to cut down with the plants and trees. So if she is allowed to choose, she would rather be ugly, but she is in a high position and can seize the palm of her own hands. She can know when she will die. Listen, how straightforward this is said, even a fifteen-year-old concubine wants to rise to the top and control the power of life, death and death." Huan Wen laughed out loud.
Xi Chao laughed and said, "Everyone wants to control his own destiny, and no one wants to hand over his life and death to others. This is normal, but someone doesn't say it; your concubine is interesting, and he dares to tell you this."
Huan Wen sighed, "Yes, she has courage, but she used the wrong place. These words are obviously dissatisfied with me. The meaning of the words is that she is just to save her life and is not to serve me sincerely, so I waved my sword to kill him." Huan Wen's tone was indifferent, as if she was slaughtering a kitten and puppy.
Xi Chao remained silent, but his smile on his face was a little solidified and stiff.
"Jingxing, don't worry, I, Huan Wen, will never treat you unfairly. You have been with me for more than 20 years. Don't you understand my character? When the big thing is done, I will give you a gold medal to avoid death. In the future, unless you make trouble, I will not touch you any other thing." Huan Wen said softly.
Xi Chao stood up to thank him, and put his pen on the paper to write: On a certain day of a certain year, a certain month and a certain day, Duke Huan promised to reward a gold medal for exempting death. He handed it to Huan Wen and said, "Please sign the name of the Grand Sima."
A hint of anger flashed across Huan Wen's face, but he picked up his pen and laughed: "Xi Zhong is a delicate person, are you afraid that I will forget?"
Xi Chao said calmly: "Xi Chao is acting according to the rules. Duke Huan is about to ascend the throne. Once he ascends the throne, he will be the lord of the Nine Five. Every word and action must be recorded at that time. Xi Chao's actions are just doing according to etiquette."
Huan Wen looked surprised with a look of surprise, and he looked at Xi Chao with his head tilted, "Once upon a time, Jingxing, you learned this, but your words are always so impressive."
Xi Chao smiled and said, "Duke Huan praised it. After Jiuxi, the emperor will abdicate and the Grand Sima. The Grand Sima will not go to Gushu during this period. There are still many things to do here."
Huan Wen stood up and walked to the entrance of the hall, looking at the gloomy sky covered with lead clouds and said softly: "Go, and Wang Xun will deal with all the people on the list, and you will be wiped out. The people below passed the imperial edict to tell them to come to Beijing to report their duties quickly, and then take them down in one fell swoop; as for Xie An, Wang Xianzhi, Wang Tanzhi, a few, I will put me under house arrest first, and now I can't kill it. If I kill him, the world will be in chaos. Xie An is still the number one soldier in the world. If I kill him, I may be talking nonsense, so that he will not be able to leave the mansion in one step."
Xi Chao asked: "Zhang Xuan is a general who leads troops. If one is not good, he will be in trouble."
Huan Wen said: "Kill him, how much prestige is Zhang Xuan? His five direct camp lieutenants have been replaced. Who will stand up for him? The three generals of the Central Army will help him stand up? Joke! After killing Zhang Xuan, the three of them will come and kneel down and beg me to spare my life. If you don't believe me, just watch it."
Xi Chao laughed and said, "Of course I believe it. What I mean is that Zhang Xuan's sister is the concubine of Han Mu, the general of the Northern Army, the town army. I am afraid that this matter will not be settled so easily."
Huan Wen laughed to the sky: "That guy? I regretted that my wife's kindness did not stay in the army. This time I will take this opportunity to besides him. Who did he help this great victory? It's just helping me, Huan Wen. This time, the Qin people will not dare to go south. I have no worries. If something big happens here, I will have to settle the score with them if the Qin people don't come."
Xi Chao nodded and said, "The Grand Sima finally figured it out. Just because the Grand Sima made up his mind. There is no turning back when the construction starts. Once this matter is started, there is no room for maneuver. I will go now."
Huan Wen nodded, Xi Chao walked out of the Grand Sima Office quickly. The drizzle had already started to drizzle. Huan Wen watched Xi Chao disappear on the carriage and said to himself in the dark rain curtain: "I naturally figured it out. Didn't the Sima family stole from Cao Wei? It is natural for me to take it away. When the Sima family is strong, I can't?"
On March 12, 2018, Xian'an, the second year of the Great Jin Dynasty, the streets were suddenly filled with troops. The soldiers of the Duwei Mansion warned and ordered all street shops not to be opened along the streets. At the same time, the foreign troops guarding the four gates led the troops. The second guards sent 5,000 people to guard the left and right armies of the central army and the three barracks of the cavalry, and issued an imperial edict to order the three armies not to go out in the camp.
At the Wuchen period, as soon as the officials who participated in the morning court entered Guangyang Gate, dozens of officials were put on swords and swords. Then Xie An and Wang Tanzhi were deported into their respective mansions, and hundreds of soldiers were firmly guarding the mansions and putting house arrest.
Then, the three thousand cavalrymen of the Duwei Mansion, together with the two thousand guards, divided into dozens of teams, each carrying imperial edicts to the homes of the captured officials to promulgate the homes. All officials were deemed to be punished for collusion with the enemy. It was said that the Qin soldiers on the eastern front were the actions of these people and revealed the deployment of troops.
The capital is filled with blood and blood.
Qiu Zheng, the minister of the Huangmen of the Menxia Province, colluded with the enemy and killed 104 family members and confiscated his family's property.
Shang Shigong Wang Runzhi, who was punished by the enemy, killed the entire family of 75, and confiscated the family property.
Qin Yungu, the chief censor, colluded with the enemy's crimes and killed 140 family members and confiscated their property.
Wang Yongqing, a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, colluded with the enemy and killed 69 of his family and confiscated his family's property.
The head of the Ministry of Personnel, Hailong, was responsible for colluding with the enemy, and killed the family forty-five, and confiscated the family property.
Qian Wenjing, the young minister of Dali Temple, was punished by the enemy and killed 67 family members and confiscated his family property.
Zhang Xuan, the President of the Imperial Guard, colluded with the enemy and killed the entire family of 32, and confiscated the family property.
…………
On that day, a total of 18 senior officials from the third rank of the imperial court were killed, and 24 people below the third rank, involving more than 3,600 people. The commander of the Imperial Guards led by Zhang Qing and Wang Xun were all weak, and the entire Jiankang City was covered in blood.
Then he issued an order saying that the Ministry of Personnel Shang Xie'an appointed officials without investigation and was dismissed from his official position in Beijing for probation. The minister Wang Tanzhi also had an act of condoning his subordinates. He thought of the two announcements that they were working hard and special saints would be relieved.
Several other county magistrates from other places have sent people to report their duties to the capital. On the day they arrived in the capital, they were the day when their heads fell to the ground.
For a time, the capital was filled with clouds and everyone was in danger. From that day on, a curfew was started in Healthy City, and the curfew was not lifted until early April. During this period, all key departments in the capital had been replaced. The commander of the imperial guards in the city was replaced by Huan Chong. The commander of the three central army was replaced. The original commander was released on idle positions to monitor. The two foreign armies were originally in the hands of Huan Wen, and they were also stationed in the capital. Nearly 40,000 people gathered in the capital were all controlled by Huan Wen.
Sima Rong, the commander of the guerrilla army of the foreign army, saw the opportunity very quickly. After receiving the news of the great purge in the city, he led his army to the west overnight and disappeared. Huan Wen sent a large army to chase him, but he chased him to the river and went to the trail. In a few days, the news of Sima Rong's rebellion was learned from all over the Jin Dynasty. Sima Rong was originally the nephew of Emperor Sima Yu. This rebellion was described as trying to compete for the throne, so he was defeated by Huan Wen's Grand Sima and disappeared.
