Chapter four hundred and ninety first: Su Yuan, who is stunned(1/2)
A few days passed.
The news of Su Cheng's surrender was transmitted to the capital through the Tang Dynasty's secret agent organization.
During morning dynasty.
The Emperor of Tang Dynasty glanced at Su Yuan meaningfully.
The prime minister of the dynasty was stared at with horror by the emperor's eyes.
For some reason, many ministers in the court looked at me strangely today.
What went wrong?
During the national crisis, I took in a concubine. Whose business was it getting in the way?
Can’t I always stay strong?
After all the officials reported the government affairs one by one, Emperor Li Qingcang of the Tang Dynasty said to Su Yuan: "Prime Minister, have you heard any rumors in the capital recently?"
Su Yuan was stunned.
Is it really the case that I have another concubine?
This kind of thing can only be discussed in private.
How can you still bring it up to the court?
For a moment, Su Yuan's face turned red.
All civil and military officials, as well as Emperor Li Qingcang of the Tang Dynasty, all noticed his expression.
The latter added: "If something like this happens, the prime minister, as the leader of the scholar community, should feel quite embarrassed, right?"
Shameful?
Isn't it a bit embarrassing?
Su Yuan was ashamed and nodded, not daring to say anything as he would make mistakes if he spoke too much.
Normally when something like this happens, His Majesty can just give a verbal warning and nothing serious will happen.
Li Qingcang continued: "I didn't expect that the Su family, which has always been loyal to the country, would have such a scandal. It really makes me feel ashamed for your Su family!"
Su Yuan frowned.
What's going on?
Is it already a sin to find a concubine?
Ashamed?
Food and sex.
The saints have all said this. The emperor is an outsider, what should he be ashamed of?
I don’t even feel embarrassed!
However, Su Yuan still knelt down on the ground, clasped his fists and said, "I won't do it next time. I'm guilty!"
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty raised his eyebrows and blurted out: "What's the matter? Your Su family still wants to do it next time!"
As he spoke, he slapped the dragon chair and became furious.
Su Yuan was startled and a little confused.
What happened?
Su Yuan clasped his fists and said: "At my age, this kind of thing really shouldn't happen, and it's still during the national crisis. I'm guilty, your majesty, please punish me!"
Li Qingcang pointed at Su Yuan and cursed: "Okay! You are really a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water! Can you bring Hucheng County back if you are guilty? Or, what about the surrender of your good son Su Cheng to the Wei army?
Is this your instruction?"
After hearing the sound.
Su Yuan was completely confused.
What is this?
Chenger surrendered?
No!
This is absolutely impossible!
After coming back to his senses, Su Yuan kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, is the news wrong? My son Su Cheng has listened to me since he was a child. How could it be possible that he surrendered to the Wei army? And isn't the Wei army hundreds of miles away from Hucheng County?
?Why did he suddenly attack Hucheng County? If he had not attacked Hucheng County, how could my son surrender to the Wei army? No! No! My son Su Cheng, even if he died in battle? Even if he died in battle...
Even if you die in battle, you will not surrender to the Wei army!"
Li Qingcang snorted coldly: "Su Yuan! You are really a good prime minister of our Tang Dynasty! Because of your recommendation, I listened and let your children guard Hucheng County. What's the result? You still think this news is
Is it false? Do you know? The Imperial City Division paid a heavy price to investigate this news? Even some refugees coming from Hucheng County are spreading the news that your precious son has surrendered to the Wei army!
You still don’t know this yet? Are you still shamelessly telling nonsense here?”
Su Yuan was completely stunned.
He lay helpless on the ground.
Did his son really surrender?
Is he a fool?
I was still an official in the court, and he actually surrendered?
What the hell!
In a desperate situation, Su Yuan was spat out until he vomited blood.
After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Su Yuan knelt down and said, "Old minister...please, Your Majesty, grant me death!"
He really has no shame in living.
Who knew that such a thing could be born.
Nothing.
Li Qingcang sneered and said: "I'm asking you? The geographical location of Hucheng County is particularly special. It is very important to us in the Tang Dynasty. What should we do now?"
At present, Su Yuan can't say a single word except asking for death and admitting his mistake.
"Didn't you say that your child, who has been familiar with military art since he was a child, can defend Hucheng County? Why, he gave up the land of a county to others without even defending it?"
Li Qingcang is really angry now.
I really want to give Su Yuan a happy life.
No!
Even if I kill this old guy, I won't be relieved.
Su Yuan knocked his head on the ground and did not dare to raise his head.
He has no face to see anyone anymore.
After a while.
Someone from the Imperial City Department came to report.
It is said that Yunshan Pass surrendered to the Wei army.
It was Su Cheng who persuaded him to surrender.
When Su Yuan heard the news, he fainted on the spot.
Li Qingcang's face became gloomy and uncertain.
When he saw Su Yuan fainting, he stood up from the dragon chair and cursed angrily: "What a Su Yuan! What a Su Cheng! What a disciple of the Su family! Check it out for me! Find out all the disciples and former officials of the Su family.
Find out, leave no one alive, kill them all!"
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Cai Xian stood up from the crowd, handed a memorial to the emperor, and said: "Your Majesty, this memorial contains all the disciples and former officials of the Su family. Where are they now? Where is their hometown?"
Hey, how many people are there in the family? The ministers have all investigated clearly."
Everyone knows that the Su family is finished.
But Cai Xian's operation really surprised everyone.
This memorial must have been prepared for a long time, right?
Talent, really a talent.
Not to be messed with.
In this way, during Li Qingcang's tenure, a major purge began.
All ministers who were members of the Prime Minister's party were killed.
There were three hundred people in total.
At the same time, Su Yuan, who had recovered from a coma, knew the news and simply waited for death at home.
To be continued...
