Li Chao was so worried that he didn't go downstairs all night.
City gate tower.
After all, this matter was brought about by Li Chao and others. If they didn't care about anything and just went home to lie down, then other people in the city, even those of the same clan and clan, would probably tear the two brothers out of their homes in anger.
…
Li Chao believes that the proper attitude must be there, at least to show a serious and hard-working attitude of seeking to solve the problem!
So he didn't go back and stayed in the city gate tower.
Li Shao didn't reply either.
But Li Chao and the two underestimated the simplicity of the city gate tower, and even because of this simplicity, it affected the speed at which he thought about the problem. All the previous plans were to stay at home, smelling incense, drinking wine, and from time to time.
There are serving girls who are squeezing their arms and rubbing their legs. They are talking and laughing, waving their towels, and planning for thousands of miles. But now they are sitting there with their eyes wide open, asking for something but not having it. How can they possibly think of any good ideas?
?
The more anxious you are, the more it feels like paste in your head. The more it is stirred up, the more it sticks together. It is impossible to find a way out. All you can do is control your emotions and concentrate as much as possible, and the more confused you become.
Spend energy.
The statute of limitations is there, even if there is no such so-called three days, Li Chao knows that the matter cannot be delayed. This matter is not like ordinary eating and drinking, maybe you will lose your head!
In the second half of the night, Li Shao was younger and had been nervous for a day. He couldn't hold it anymore and fell to the side and fell into a deep sleep.
Li Chao held on for a while, and finally thought about a few things in general, but when he thought about it more carefully, his energy was really not enough. Unable to hold on, he fell back, lay down with his clothes on, and let out a heavy sigh.
snoring.
The guards on duty at the gate listened to the two brothers snoring in the city gate tower. They seemed to be hypnotized one after another, and they couldn't help but doze off. When they were half asleep and half awake, they suddenly heard some noises. When they raised their heads, they
I saw some light coming from the distance.
who?!
Li Chao's guard shouted in a low voice.
It's me... The torch came closer, revealing the face of the three elders of Li County.
Li Chao, the guard, breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hands and said: I don't know if the three elders are here, I'm sorry...
Is your young master here? The third elder of Qixian County asked, but is he resting?
Li nodded towards the guard and said, "I just rested a while ago. Do you need me to wake you up..."
The three elders of Li County smiled and waved their hands, "No, no need... This winter night is cold, and the city gate building is miserable... Look, no, the old man has given me some food and clothing expenses...
Li Chao's guards were a little moved, thinking that they had misunderstood the three elders of Qixian County before. Presumably the three elders of Qixian County were forced to make the time limit request...
Why are you here, where are the other guards? The three elders of Li County smiled and called them out... Take it and take it in...
Yes, yes, more three elders... Li Chao responded to the guards and shouted a few times in a low voice to the left and right, calling all the guards on duty over. He planned to accept the food and drink expenses and make himself more comfortable.
But what I didn't expect was that when Li Chao's guards called everyone out, they took it into their hands and stuffed it into their arms not only for food and clothing, but also the cold light reflecting the moonlight!
Firstly, these guards lost their guard, and secondly, they had either food or drink in their hands. When faced with the surprise attack, they screamed and died immediately!
Rush in! The three elders of Qixian County commanded, sneered twice, and gave me a ride!
Several people kicked open the door and rushed into the house. They twisted the arms of brother Li Chao who had just woken up and didn't know what happened. The other opened his mouth, and the one holding the wine bottle stuffed it in and drank!
The light reflected the figure on the window lintel, and the sounds of groaning and coughing, as well as the banging of limbs on the wooden boards, suddenly sounded...
The three elders of Qixian County stood in front of the city gate tower with kind eyes and closed eyes.
Don't look, don't listen, don't move.
After a while, several people came out again. They reported to the three elders...the two brothers Li Chao and Li Weinan...feared the crime and committed suicide by taking poison!
Alas! How pitiful! The three elders of Qixian County sighed with emotion, looking up at the bright moon, and there seemed to be tears flashing in the corners of their eyes. Brother Weinan, unwilling to drag down his father and fellow villagers, went so far as to do this... Oh, why bother, why bother?
!It’s just that...it still has the demeanor of a celebrity, and it has not fallen into the name of the Li family...
No matter what, no matter what, it’s just a matter of not living up to the brotherhood of Weinan brothers, or just asking for perfection! The three elders of Qixian County said loudly, “Come here! Open the city gate!”
In the camp under the city of Qixian County, Xu Shu was looking through the relevant information, and then received a report from the soldiers, saying that Li Chao and Li Shao had committed suicide by poisoning in fear of crime, and now the three elders of Qixian County had surrendered, and
Opened the city gate...
Xu Shu was stunned for a moment, then frowned.
The reason why they did not attack the city as soon as they came up was because Xu Shu knew that if they were pressed too hard, these guys would feel that there was no way to survive and they would jump over the wall in a hurry. A situation like this would actually make the conflicts in Qixian County earlier.
It broke out, and the key is for Xu Shu to use the spearhead of the Guanghan Li family to pierce some other shields...
The strategy of the Hussar General was not to drive out all the Sichuan and Shu gentry and large local households, but to keep those who were willing to go along and get rid of those who were holding back.
But what Xu Shu also didn't expect was that the three elders in Qixian County would also act so quickly!
They actually sent the corpses of Li Chao and Li Shao...
Committed suicide by taking poison?
Yo ho!
Xu Shu tilted his head slightly and thought for a while, then reached out and pulled out a piece of paper on the desk, and wrote something with his pen. He called his guard, gave him the piece of paper, and explained a few sentences.
, then walked out of the Chinese army tent.
Raise the fire! Xu Shu ordered, bring it in!
Human beings are innately afraid of the dark, and even soldiers are no exception. A sudden order will inevitably make the military camp restless, but by increasing the brightness of the light, these unnecessary restlessness will naturally be reduced.
Within the gate of the military camp, there will be a relatively wide place, which is generally where soldiers gather. Now, more torches and braziers are lit.
These braziers and torches, from the gate of the military camp to here, the swaying flames illuminated the surrounding area translucently, and the armor, swords and guns flashed in the light of the fire.
The third elder in Qixian County lowered his head, bent his waist, and almost pressed his beard to his feet as he moved forward. As soon as he entered the brightly lit area, he threw the walking stick in his hand from afar and bowed down to Xu Shu.
On the ground, he kowtowed and shouted loudly: Mr. Li, the third elder of Qixian County, pays homage to Mr. Xu!
Although the three elders of Qixian County didn't know why Xu Shu didn't receive him in the Chinese army's tent, they couldn't think much about it at this moment and could only follow the original plan.
The somewhat exaggerated actions of the three elders in Qixian County made Xu Shu smile slightly. This old guy really dug a hole in front of his face...
According to etiquette, the three elders do not need to kneel down, and they do not even need to salute in front of some officials. On the contrary, ordinary petty officials have to salute to the three elders.
As early as when the Chu and Han Dynasties were fighting for hegemony, Liu Bang issued an old-age care order to improve the social status and quality of life of the elderly in order to win over the people: if the people were over fifty years old, had spiritual practice, and could lead people to do good deeds, they would be considered three elders and one person from the village.
One of the three elders of the village was chosen to be the three elders of the county. They taught each other about matters with the county magistrate and the chief lieutenant, and they were not allowed to join the garrison again. In ten months, they were given wine and meat.
During the period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, respect for the elderly was further emphasized, and the elderly were ordered not to wear silk, nor to keep warm, nor to eat meat. For those over eighty years old, one stone of corn, twenty kilograms of meat, and five dou of wine were given every month. For those over ninety years old,
, and give two pieces of cloth and three pounds of cotton wadding every month to ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing. Moreover, those who give gifts and rice will be inspected by senior officials, and the prime minister will give them. If they are less than ninety, they will be stingy and order
Shi Zhi. Two thousand stones were sent to the capital officials to follow them, and those who were not qualified were supervised. In order to prevent officials from violating the rules, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty issued repeated orders, requiring local officials to strictly control the gifts, such as not giving old rice to the elderly, etc...
Therefore, the three elders of Li County knelt down and kowtowed in front of them. What they knew was that the three elders of Li County were afraid of being accused and asked for forgiveness in public. What they didn't know was that Xu Shu was bullying others and disrespecting the village elders!
Xu Shu even suspected that if he met the three elders of Qi County in a relatively closed place such as the Chinese army's tent, he would wait for the old guy to lie down on the bed after returning, and then say some vague words in return of the welcome.
It doesn’t matter even if you support me, it doesn’t matter if I don’t support you!
Li Miao caused chaos, this is a fact.
It is also true that the Li family of Guanghan gave support and even pushed behind the scenes.
But Li Miao did not cause rebellion on the surface, because he shouted from beginning to end that he must be loyal to Hussar and Sichuan!
Just like in later feudal dynasties, there were many officials who shouted to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic. How can we say that these people are treasonous? Isn't it impossible, but it will be recorded, and it also shows that Xu Shu is incompetent to a certain extent.
, it can’t even lead to a conviction, it can only be reckless!
This has led to a very delicate situation at the moment. On the one hand, it can be said that the Li family of Guanghan rebelled and conspired and deserved their punishment. On the other hand, it can also be said that Xu Shu bullied others and wanted to inflict crimes.
From God's perspective, of course he is aware of all the events and developments, but what if this matter were placed on ordinary people in Sichuan and Shu?
What is the truth of the matter?
Are the truths revealed to ordinary people the original appearance of the incident?
Who are these ordinary people more willing to listen to, and which aspect of the truth do they believe?
When an official statement comes out, if the people do not agree with it, or even become suspicious out of habit, then what is the reason and what is the process that makes such a statement that should originally represent justice and fairness?
, is becoming more and more useless?
When a person suddenly encounters something and does not have time to consider it comprehensively and does not know how to judge right from wrong, he will often use his previous thinking experience to make a judgment instead. These experiences were made by the elderly in ancient times.
People teach.
Therefore, in the inheritance of Chinese civilization, the four words "respect the old and love the young" have a very important weight.
but now……
Kneeling in front of him is the third elder of Qixian County, a gray-haired old man.
Xu Shu looked past the three elders of Qixian County, but towards the city wall of Qixian County, and said with a smile: I dare to ask the three elders, on the city wall of Qixian County... why don't you raise a fire?
The three elders of Qixian County suddenly trembled.
Send the order! Xu Shu shouted loudly, ordering people to raise fire on the city wall of Qixian County!
After the orders were conveyed one after another, the fire on the wall of Qixian County began to flicker.
Xu Shu glanced at it and sneered. Sure enough.
On the city wall of Qixian County, in the darkness, there were actually quite a few people standing, all staring at this place. Now illuminated by the fire, they turned their heads like little wives who didn't want to show up, as if they wanted to
Want to see, but seem to be escaping.
People coming, the past few... Xu Shu pointed to the people on the wall of Qixian County and said, who are they, write them down, especially those who were here before and are gone now...
Xu Shuyi finished speaking pointedly, as if he had just seen the three elders of Qixian County kneeling on the ground, ah, how could the three elders be sitting here and there? Come on, take a seat here, please take a seat! The third elder of Qixian County or
I am old and deaf, come here, find some people with loud voices...
Immediately, a few soldiers stood aside. These soldiers, who were originally dedicated to scolding the formation, have now become the microphones for live broadcasts, which can be regarded as the only role of the big man at the moment.
Three elders, please take a seat!
Please take a seat!
Take your seat!
These soldiers shouted in a clear and eloquent tone, which was so loud that it seemed as if the echoes in Qi County were echoing, but they still had some unfinished meaning and felt that they had not exerted their full strength.
...The third elder from Qixian County gritted his back molars. Knowing that he had met a master, he stopped pretending to be pitiful. He got up from the ground, walked to the edge of the mat, bowed his hands in greeting, and then sat down.
Looking down from the city wall, what can you see at such a long distance?
At most, I just saw a rough idea and knew that the figure corresponded to that person.
What else can be heard?
Basically, you can't hear anything, unless you want the soldiers with loud voices to shout like Xu Shu.
But that doesn’t prevent these people from using their imagination and rendering it into a story that suits their own needs, right?
As soon as the three elders of Qixian County knelt down, these people were ready to start spraying.
Because it is impossible for Xu Shu to massacre the city, everyone knows this and is very sure of it. Once this point is determined, many people are in a relatively safe position, or have become bystanders to a certain extent. They are neither parties involved,
Not a third party, but a pure bystander.
It may be true that bystanders know better, but bystanders prefer to watch a big show. The bigger the show, the happier it is. How many times in a lifetime can you encounter a big show like being besieged by thousands of soldiers?
Originally, these guys had already constructed the questions in their minds, including but not limited to the following:
Sad! The three elders of Qixian County fell to their knees as soon as they entered the military camp! Is this a distortion of morality or a loss of human nature?
Shocking! The inheritance of the Han Dynasty is missing, and loyalty and filial piety are completely ignored! Why does the white-haired old man kneel down openly?
Shocked! Men will be silent for a while after watching it, and women will cry after watching it! If you don’t turn around, you are not from Sichuan!
I didn’t even notice! An old man actually did such an action in front of the whole city’s young, old, women and children!
How terrible! The dignified governor of Yizhou actually did this in the dark!
A horrifying scene! What is the cause of the painful groans in the military camp? What is covered by the tricolor flag?
Reveal the secret! What happened under the city of Qixian County made an old man miserable!
…
Now when Xu Shu's soldiers shouted loudly, the atmosphere suddenly disappeared.
In the open space in the military camp, Xu Shu smiled slightly and said: What are the three elders doing here?
The soldiers with loud voices shouted, "What is the business of the three elders here?!"
The three elders of Qixian County wanted to roll their eyes, but in the end they endured it and whispered: Your Majesty, there are unscrupulous disciples today...
Envoy, I have an unworthy disciple... The soldiers with loud voices shouted in the same tone.
...The three elders of Qixian County suddenly didn’t know what to say.
Some things are easy to do but hard to say. The docking of the gecko's tail may be a good thing for the gecko, but no one wants to be the one who docks their tail, right?
The three elders of Li County suddenly regretted asking people to go to the city wall...
The three elders of Qixian County took advantage of Li Chao and Li Shao's unpreparedness and invited two people to come to beg for mercy. Although for the three elders of Qixian County, this was the best way to reduce their own losses, but who likes to expose the family scandal? This matter
It's okay to talk it out in front of Xu Shu, since everyone is sensible anyway, but it's a bit hard to talk it out in front of the whole city, old and young men, women, children and young children.
Oh, in order to save your own life, you will give away the lives of your nephews, children and grandchildren?
Did he really commit suicide out of fear of sin?
hehe.
You must know that although Li Miao, Li Chao and others did indeed do some things, in the current Han Dynasty, according to the law, protecting each other is still recognized!
The act of annihilating relatives for righteousness is not advocated by Han morality!
If the third elder of Qixian County just said it outright, something that violated the moral system of the Han Dynasty, then let alone whether he could still sit in his position as the third elder, those who were shocked might not be Xu Shu, but Xu Shu.
Became the Guanghan Li family...
Seeing that the three elders of Li County were silent, Xu Shu also smiled, and then said: Since there is a confession book, why not present it early? Come on, read it!
The three elders of Qixian County were stunned and quickly denied it, but they were blocked by Xu Shu's loud soldiers, so they could not tell what was said...
The third elder in Qixian County was about to jump up, but he was pressed down by the soldiers behind him. He couldn't stand up immediately. He could only wave his arms on the ground and shout something, but his old voice could not do anything better than those.
Are you shouting loudly at the soldiers in front of the formation?
For a time, this confession resounded throughout the night sky of Li County!
This book begs for mercy and pleads guilty.
In the winter of the fifth year of Taixing, there were unfilial descendants of the Li family in Li County, Guanghan, who made ulterior motives, did not regard the emperor's orders as the most important thing, acted arrogantly, ignored the people, were foolish and foolish, acted daringly, and rebelled with their troops, which was a serious mistake.
Forgiveness.
These disobedient descendants do not care about the nectar of the hussar, they do not understand the benevolence of the world, they are foolish in nature, their words and deeds are arrogant, they have no talent but are listed with the weight of a thousand stones, and they have no virtue and are regarded as the people of Sichuan and Shu.
Lin is actually Li's shame.
If you don't take the blame, you will be hated forever! In order to eliminate the disaster and avoid accumulating resentment, causing the Li family to be ruined and condemned, we specially remove those who are disobedient and rebellious in front of the Qi Qi Zun, and confess those who admit the crime, so as to forgive their mistakes and make up for anything.
.
I am so frightened that I can only beg for mercy and confess my sins!
Xu Shu nodded, stood up, and then said loudly: Shan! Since he pleads guilty and is willing to confess to the conspiracy, I will be a hussar on the letter, and the reward will be reduced or reduced!
The third elder in Qixian County took a deep breath, and was about to yell at his neck to deny the confession, but suddenly something was thrown into his mouth from behind, like fine sand.
The thing suddenly choked the trachea, and he coughed until tears and mucus flowed across his nose. From a distance, it looked like he was crying in front of Xu Shu, and his confession was simply overwhelming...
After the play was over, Xu Shu waved his hand and ordered to take over Qixian County. Suddenly the whole barracks was in a roar. As for a certain person's individual voice, it was already covered up under the noise.
