In front of the Jinyang Palace's dormitory, forbidden wine and drinks searched from various places were continuously brought in and all were piled on the square in front of the palace. The drinks were either packed in wine urns or in skins, and were made of various materials and styles.
The wine sets are even more dazzling.
After Gao Yang saw this scene, his face turned livid. He had been suffering from alcohol and meat withdrawal during this period, but he didn't expect that there were so many people in Jinyang Palace, right under his nose.
Disobeying his prohibition, hiding drinks and drinking to excess!
Such obedience naturally makes the superiors dissatisfied, especially Gao Yang, a monarch who has a strong desire for control. Now these prohibited materials and personnel placed in front of the palace are like slaps on his face.
, making him feel extremely angry, and his eyes flashed with a murderous look!
Some of the soldiers who were escorted here were a little indifferent at first. After all, even His Majesty the Emperor was known to be a drunkard and a drunkard. What big deal was it for them to hide some drinks? As long as they were not in
When Su Wei was on duty, he got drunk and delayed his business. This was a small and innocuous matter.
However, as more and more prohibited persons were brought here, these people gradually became a little panicked. Without even looking up, they could already feel the raging anger of His Majesty the Emperor in front of the palace.
When Xu Xianxiu was escorted here, he suddenly became nervous after seeing this scene, and his eyes flew around as he thought about how to save himself.
At this moment, following the emperor's order, a general who kept the most drinks in Jinyang Palace was beheaded on the spot. The tragic scene of the sword falling from his hand and blood gushing out shocked everyone present into silence.
, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
When Xu Xianxiu saw this, he became even more panicked. He would be executed on the spot if he hid a bucket of wine, and more than a bucket of wine was found in his tent! If he were really punished for this crime, he would probably be punished today.
My life is at risk!
The execution sergeants executed the executions one by one according to the amount of wine they seized. The first to be executed were a few ordinary sergeants. It was obvious that these sergeants were pushed out by their respective commanders to take the blame. Otherwise, how could ordinary soldiers kill so much wine?
Take it into the palace?
But Xu Xianxiu was unlucky because his camp was searched while he was on duty, and he was arrested soon after. There was no time to cover up and find the culprit.
Seeing that the execution sergeant was getting closer and closer to him, he couldn't help but sweatdropping on his forehead. After some thought and weighing, he quickly knelt down and shouted loudly: "I want to see the Supreme Being, I want to see the Supreme Being
!There is a counter-case report, please ask the supreme summons to report the matter and expose the crime!"
After hearing this, Liu Taozhi and other Forbidden Army soldiers nearby did not dare to neglect. While taking Xu Xianxiu away from here, they hurried into the palace to report the matter.
At this time, Gao Yang was so angry that he was so angry with those drunkards that he had already retreated to the palace to rest for a while. After hearing Liu Taozhi's performance, his eyes suddenly flashed and he stood up from the couch.
He said in a deep voice: "Summon people into the palace quickly!"
Not long after, Xu Xianxiu was twisted into the palace. After taking a look at His Majesty the Emperor who was sitting in the palace, he quickly bowed to the ground and said quickly: "Your Majesty, I am on duty as a guard tonight and inspecting the palace.
, I have seen members slandering personnel matters..."
In order to survive, he didn't care whether he would offend too many people at the moment. He hurriedly recounted the scene where he saw Hou Mo, Chen Jingui and others discussing things before, and then he paused and said: "These disciples don't know what to say.
He was disrespectful and even flattered the King of Shangdang a lot. He said that the reason why the battle on the front line was unfavorable this time was because the court did not know how to recruit people. If the King of Shangdang led all the troops to fight, the thieves would have nothing to fear..."
Listening to Xu Xianxiu's report, Gao Yang's face turned extremely green. Before he could finish speaking, he slapped the case and shouted angrily: "Quickly arrest all the thieves in front of the palace!"
So Liu Taozhi and others were busy again, and soon arrested all the people who were slandered by Xu Xianxiu. This matter was much more serious than the previous investigation of illegal drinking, so they focused on
Those prohibited persons in front of the palace were all transferred to other palaces and imprisoned. Only these few people were tied up in the square in front of the palace.
When these people saw Xu Xianxiu following His Majesty the Emperor out of the palace, their expressions changed one after another. The more intelligent ones hurriedly kowtowed and apologized: "I am guilty. I made a mistake and made disrespectful remarks..."
When Gao Yang heard this impatient confession, his face became more and more ugly, but he still raised his hand to signal Xu Xianxiu to move forward, confronted these people one by one, and pieced together the previous conversation after hearing their respective confessions.
Hearing these people praising Gao Huan, the king of the Shangdang, and mocking himself for not being as handsome as in previous years, Gao Yang became even more furious. He raised his hand and asked Liu Taozhi to hand over a horse pole. He stepped forward with the pole and directly thrust out the pole before approaching.
One of the noble disciples had his chest and abdomen pierced, and he cursed loudly: "If you dare to look into the sky, let's see if this spear is sharp!"
Everyone saw the comrade died on the spot, and for a moment they were so frightened that they burst into tears. The Marquis Mo Chen Jingui also kowtowed repeatedly and said: "I beg your majesty to show mercy to my father and brother and donate their strength to the country. My father guarded the border, and my brother died in the country..."
"Father and brother are both loyal, but you alone are unfaithful. What will happen if you don't die!"
It's okay not to say this. Gao Yang became more and more angry when he heard Hou Mo Chen Jingui's begging for mercy. He turned around and stepped forward. He directly cut off Hou Mo Chen Jingui's limbs with a swing of his sword, leaving his body lying on the ground, wailing and squirming.
After more than a quarter of an hour, his sternum was cracked with a horse hammer, and he died.
As for the remaining few people, none of them were spared, and they were all killed by Gao Yang himself in front of the palace.
After killing all these people, Gao Yang was so angry that he immediately ordered the appointment of Xu Xianxiu, who had reported the rebellion, as the right guard general. He also led the soldiers of the imperial army to distribute the corpses of the disciples to various families, and their families
Take control and strictly investigate whether there is anything untoward.
These people's reckless discussion not only greatly hurt Gao Yang's self-esteem and angered him, but also reminded him again of Gao Huan, the king of Shangdang who had been imprisoned for a long time.
So Gao Yang led a group of Forbidden Army soldiers and went straight to the North Palace Room of Jinyang Palace where Gao Huan was imprisoned.
Last year, Shangdang King Gaohuan led an army to attack the invading Turks and successfully repulsed the Turkic army. This was originally a success. Soon after, Li Boshan of the Western Wei Dynasty led his troops to defeat the Turks in the south of Yinshan Mountain and captured the Turkic Mugan Khan.
One thing.
This naturally greatly eclipsed the performance of the Northern Qi Dynasty against the Turks, and Gao Yang himself was already dissatisfied with the Shangdang King Gao Huan, so he imprisoned him for his ulterior motives and condoned the Turks' crimes, and has been imprisoned to this day.
Also imprisoned together with Gao Huan was his brother, Gao Huan's third son, Gao Jun, King of Yong'an. Gao Jun and Gao Yang also had a long-standing grudge, and they had previously made many offensive remarks to Gao Yang based on their status as clan members.
He even had private meetings with Yang Min and other ministers. After everything accumulated, Gao Yang imprisoned him together with Gao Huan.
The North Palace Room of Jinyang Palace where the two were imprisoned was dark day and night, with no sunlight. They lived, ate, and lived in an iron cage, and also defecated here. The environment was extremely bad.
When Gao Yang came here, the soldiers guarding outside hurriedly came in to pay tribute, and the two kings who were still sleeping were also awakened. When they learned that the emperor came to see them, they all wailed and begged: "Begging for mercy."
Please forgive me, Your Majesty! I am willing to be my brother's slave forever..."
Gao Yang ordered the two iron cages to be moved out of the cell. When he saw the two brothers who had been imprisoned in the cage for a long time, there was no mercy on their faces.
He first came to the outside of the prison where the Shangdang King Gao Huan was. He looked at the poor man who had been so high-spirited before but was now as stooped as a gopher and sneered: "Does Ah Qi know that there are thieves in the country at the moment? There is a warrior in front of the palace.
I suggest that I can make you a general. It will not be difficult to lead the army and defeat the enemy. I wonder if you have such confidence!"
"I have it, I have confidence! No matter who comes to invade me, but I ask my brother to order me to send troops to fight, I will never refuse, and I will fight to the death! But there is still one breath left, and I will never let the thieves harm my family!"
Gao Huan originally thought that he was about to be freed. After hearing this, he kowtowed repeatedly in the cage and said, gritting his teeth and staring, wanting to prove that he was still brave and capable.
Gao Yang burst out laughing after hearing this. He turned his eyes and saw his nephew Gao Changgong who was among the guards. He raised his hand and called Gao Changgong closer, pointed at Gao Huan in the iron cage and looked at Gao Changgong.
Asked: "In your opinion, should I use the Party King, or should I kill him?"
Gao Changgong had already seen the emperor's madness when he was in front of the palace, and naturally knew that he was not here to appoint the Shangdang King. When he heard this question, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground and replied in a trembling voice:
"The foundation of the country is the Supreme One! The Supreme One rules all the ministers, and the thieves are incapable of defeating the enemy. There is absolutely no reason why any of the ministers can defeat the enemy! As for whether the King of Shangdang uses or discards them, it all depends on the Supreme One's thoughts!"
After Gao Yang heard this, he chuckled twice, bent down and stroked the top of Gao Changgong's hair, and said in a gentle tone: "This is quite insightful. It can be seen that I have grown up. I will use it in the future."
As he spoke, he directly took off his sword and handed it into Gao Changgong's arms, and then waved his hand to signal him to retreat. When he turned his eyes to the two younger brothers in the cage, his eyes became cold again, and immediately
Liu Taozhi and other imperial guards were ordered to go forward and assassinate him inside the iron cage.
Driven by the desire to survive, the two people in the cage actually moved around in the small space in the cage, tightly holding the long stick that was pierced into the cage, and even stretched the long stick. They were tortured.
After such a long time, he still retains such strength, which shows that he is indeed a brave warrior.
However, this scene made Gao Yang even more angry. Since the stabbing could not kill him, he simply ordered people to throw torches into the cage, burning the two men to death, and then left happily.
Gao Changgong in the team was horrified when he saw this cruel scene of fratricide. He was originally happy to receive the sword as a reward from the emperor, but now he felt that the sword was as hot as red-hot coals!
