Many, many people died in the imperial city, but Yun Chu, who was left behind in Chang'an, had no way of counting how many people had died.
The only reason is that the Imperial City District is not under the jurisdiction of Chang'an, nor is it under the jurisdiction of Wannian and Chang'an counties.
The reason why the slave trade in Chang'an City was so prosperous was that the people in the imperial city had to bear a lot of responsibility, especially the Yeting Palace.
For many years, the people of Chang'an have looked down upon the people in the Imperial City District and have been divided.
The people living in the Imperial City looked down on the small citizens of Chang'an, while the small citizens of Chang'an looked down on the people in the Imperial District who appeared to be benevolent and moral, but in reality were despicable and filthy.
Even if you sell goods to people in the Imperial City District, they will always be a few cents more expensive.
The main reason is jealousy.
When governing a place, if you want to use people's hearts, you must set up an imaginary enemy for the people under your rule. A small bureaucrat like Yun Chu, who comes from a lower class background, is naturally very familiar with this method.
In fact, after all, no one is more suitable to serve as Chang'an's imaginary enemy than the people in the Imperial City District.
They are rich enough, powerful enough, evil enough, and their status is higher than that of the Chang'an people. This can easily inspire the Chang'an people to hate the people in the Imperial City.
It is because of this that this time the people in the Imperial City were hit by a military disaster, and people were dragged out one after another to kill people. The people in Chang'an behaved very calmly about this.
A palace wall completely separated the Imperial City and Chang'an into two worlds.
Ruichun walked out of the Imperial City through Xuanwu Gate in the north and then entered Chang'an via Mingde Gate, the main gate of Chang'an.
When he met Yunchu again, Yunchu no longer wanted to pay attention to him.
"The matter is completely over."
Ruichun also looked extremely tired. She coughed from time to time while talking, and it looked like she was seriously injured.
Yun Chu opened the document and took a look at it, then threw it in front of Ruichun and said: "In one day, one thousand, seven hundred and sixty-three corpses were transported outside the city. At this time, we only cleaned up the Ministry of War and the
Three of the Sixteen Guards Yamen."
Ruichun waved her hand and said a little irritably: "The matter is completely over."
Yunchu looked into Ruichun's eyes and said: "The consequences will be too great. This massacre will turn many generals who were originally loyal to His Majesty into those who oppose His Majesty. Moreover, from today on, you, Baiqisi, want to
When placing spies in the army, it is best to do it secretly, otherwise, you will be dead.
In the past, although the Baiqisi secret agent in the army was not favored by others, everyone treated him as one of their own. After this incident, he became a real life-and-death enemy."
Ruichun took a sip of tea and said, "That means we haven't killed enough. Let's kill three thousand more in one go. A certain family wants to see who dares to complain against me, Baiqisi."
Yun Chu was silent for a moment and said: "I have sent people to pick out the corpse of Bai Qisi who died in the battle. You can take it away and bury it. To be honest, I didn't expect that you could spend such a short time in Chang'an."
He formed an army of hundreds of knights with more than 5,000 people, and the overall combat strength can actually surpass the sixteen guardsmen. I admire you, I admire you."
Ruichun said: "More than 70% of Chang'an Baiqisi's men have perished, and my heart aches like a knife."
Yun Chu sneered and said: "When Baiqisi recruits people in the future, they should avoid Weinan. A mere Huazhou will lose three to five thousand of its strongest men at once. From now on, only the specialties of this place will be left."
Being a eunuch will do no good to Chang'an."
Ruichun gritted her teeth and said, "You were not so harsh to eunuchs before."
Yun Chu also gritted his teeth and responded: "The eunuchs in the past had not yet formed an army, and they were not so strong that they could kill soldiers like chickens. The mercy of a certain family was only for the weak. Today's Baiqisi are so strong.
Of course, you can say whatever you think in your heart."
Ruichun covered her chest and coughed twice and said, "If you are smart enough, don't cleanse Baiqisi in Chang'an City."
Yun Chu spread his hands and said: "How can I clean it? Do I dare to clean it? If the Baiqisi in Chang'an and Wannian counties are purged, the two yamen under my command will be shut down.
However, I will repay them little by little for the pain you brought me. If it hadn't been for Wannian and Baiqisi from Chang'an and two counties to help you collect intelligence and formulate plans, the people you brought would not have been able to help you.
Not enough to watch.”
"They are all loyal and honest people. You can't just leave them on idle errands and ignore them."
"Don't worry, it won't happen. I will use them to death. Anyway, they are just big animals who want to get two salaries. There is no need to wait any longer at this time. However, you should give me some face at least.
Those who are hiding in my house, Wen Wen's house, and Bai Qisi in Di Renjie's house should be evacuated.
Your Majesty even knows how long my intercourse lasts, am I shameless?"
"You were the ones who first spied on His Majesty's sexual intercourse. Lord, this time I chose to go on a killing spree in the Imperial City. It was because of my good intentions that I didn't do it in your Chang'an City. Even those royal affairs, I and Xue Tun
.
At this time, don’t say I’m sorry for you, it should be you who’s sorry for me.”
Yunchu sighed and said: "There are a total of eleven powerful generals in the Sixteenth Guards. This time, seven of them were killed by you, three committed suicide, and six surrendered. Ruichun, let me tell you, the Sixteenth General of Chang'an
You have killed all the elite guards. If there is another war, the Sixteenth Guards of Chang'an will be useless."
Ruichun held the tea bowl with a steady hand, looked at Yun Chu strangely and said, "Where is the Guanzhong Prefecture's most powerful army?"
Yunchu said proudly: "Of course he is a soldier of Jingzhao Mansion in Gyeonggi Province."
Ruichun took a sip of tea and said: "It can also be understood as the soldiers of the two counties of Chang'an and Wannian, right?"
Yun Chu said: "You can say that."
Ruichun put down the tea bowl and said: "Among the sixteen guards of Chang'an are there the archguards and horses composed of soldiers from the two counties of Chang'an and Wannian?"
Yun Chu said: "There is no such thing in Chang'an, but there is in Luoyang."
"Without His Majesty's order, can you command the troops of Gyeongsoo Mansion in Gyeonggi Province?"
"cannot."
"Then it's over. This time, a certain family helped you kill all the people who threatened you in Chang'an, allowing you to dominate the army in Chang'an and Wannian counties. From your standpoint, why do you accuse a certain family?
Home?"
Yun Chu waved his hands irritably and said: "Chang'an is not mine, it belongs to the Tang Dynasty, and the soldiers in Chang'an are not mine, but belong to the Tang Dynasty. This must be confirmed clearly. If we let this happen, everything will belong to me."
The idea spreads, and within thirty years there will be a battle between Chang'an and Luoyang.
At that time, I don’t know who will win and who will lose. I only know that after this battle, the foundation of the Tang Dynasty will be completely destroyed, and the country of the Tang Dynasty will also turn from prosperity to decline. We will no longer be able to suppress the barbarians from all directions, and the five will destroy China.
The tragedy will happen again in the land of Datang.
I would like to ask you to go back and tell His Majesty that in the future, you must never, ever engage in such large-scale killings. The problem should be solved through negotiation.
If you can't solve the problem, then solve the person. This should be the last choice, not the first choice.
Solving people does not actually solve the matter. It just delays the outbreak of conflicts. At the same time, it will also make people in the world form a murderous mentality, that is, whoever has the most power has the final say, and whoever has the biggest fist has the final say.
, whoever said it is right.
Throughout the history books, no royal family of any dynasty can always be as strong as your Majesty, and no dynasty can escape the fate of decline.
When people rule, it is easy for people to die and the government to cease.
You should advise His Majesty that at this moment, when His Majesty's power is at its peak, it is time to set rules for the people of the world. If His Majesty wants to maintain the Tang Dynasty forever, he must make concessions when he is at his strongest.
Concession at this time will only make His Majesty the emperor of the ages, and will definitely not damage His Majesty's eternal reputation."
After hearing what Yun Chu said, Ruichun sighed and said, "Why don't you tell His Majesty in person? Anyway, it's only three hundred miles from Chang'an to Jiucheng Palace. You can get there in two days by riding a fast horse."
Yunchu looked at Ruichun coldly and said, "I am saving your life, can't you see?"
Ruichun's body trembled and then she shut up.
Yunchu looked at Ruichun and said, "You don't know how your master was beheaded? You have committed such a great crime in Chang'an, do you think there will be no objections in the court?"
When the time comes, no one will dare to hold His Majesty accountable, so I don’t think it’s a big deal to use your head to quell the resentment of the people in the world.”
Ruichun thought for a long time and returned to Chang'an Baiqisi Yamen without giving Yunchu a definite answer.
Advising an emperor is a very, very dangerous thing, especially admonishing an old emperor who is about to die.
There is no lack of cruelty in the blood of the emperor of the Li family. If he accidentally touches someone's reverse scale when talking to the emperor, and is dragged out in anger and beheaded, when the head is presented, the emperor will be gone.
, I started to regret it, and I apologized right away with a grand funeral. That kind of life, Yun Chu felt that it should never happen to him.
He can do things personally and let the emperor understand some great principles and benefits from the process of doing things. In this way, even if the emperor changes a little, it will be a voluntary change. He feels that it is the product of his own knowledge and improvement.
Only such advice and guidance will have no unpredictable consequences.
He was outspoken in admonishing, just like Wei Zheng, every time he went to court, he treated it as the last time he went to court, as if it was the last time of his life, which Yun Chu disdained.
It would be appropriate for Ruichun to go and say these words to the emperor.
The emperor currently values Ruichun's sword very much, especially when Chang'an performed so sharply. The emperor should be able to listen to Ruichun's post-mortem analysis.
The emperor caused a bloody night in Luoyang, which severely severed the relationship between the royal family and the court. The emperor caused such a huge massacre in Chang'an, which also severely severed the last tender feelings between the royal family and the nobles.
The foundation of the emperor's governance was originally the royal family, nobles, and officials. Now that he had offended two of them at once, it must be said that Li Zhi was going crazy at this moment.
While Yunchu was pondering over the countermeasures, Zhang Jia quietly came to Yunchu's official residence and whispered: "Someone is planning to assassinate Ruichun."
Yun Chu recovered his thoughts and said, "Who?"
Zhang Jia sighed and said: "Seven swordsmen from Longxi."
Yun Chu said: "Do they have a grudge against Ruichun?"
Zhang Jia shook his head and said: "There is no hatred, but Ruichun just killed their beloved general."
"Are they planning to take action in Chang'an?"
"No, prepare to attack and kill in Baqiao."
Yun Chu stood up slowly, slapped Zhang Jia to the ground and whispered, "Does it have anything to do with you?"
Zhang Jia curled up and said, "It's just a humble job to see success."
Yun Chu said angrily: "Get lost."
Zhang Jia crawled away, and Yun Chu made another pot of tea and chuckled: "If you have tea, you will be rich, if you have nothing to do, you will be a god."
