Chapter 313: Destroy nine tribes and ten households in a row
Outside Yangzhou City.
The piles of corpses formed a hillside.
The blood gathered together and formed small rivers, flowing towards low-lying areas.
The rebel general Yin Xuefeng stepped forward on horseback.
He looked at the girl who was exhausted and might die at any time: "She is pretty and has good skills, but she has no brains."
"What can you get by following a master like that? A few words of praise? Or a title of concubine? Is he so worthy of your allegiance?"
He said a lot of words in succession.
But the woman standing on the mountain of corpses didn't say a word.
She didn't bother talking to such a person.
Secondly, she really didn't have the energy to speak.
The reason why she can still stand now is entirely because of the strength of her breath.
"Okay, it's time to send you on your way."
Yin Xuefeng sneered and said: "But don't worry, I will send your master away soon so that you can protect him well over there."
After saying this, he immediately got off his horse, stepped onto the mountain of corpses, and walked towards the girl.
When the girl approached, he pulled out the knife from his waist and slashed straight at the girl's neck.
At this moment, the girl already knew that she was going to die, and she slowly closed her eyes.
But the pain never came for a long time.
She was a little confused. Could it be that she couldn't feel pain because of excessive blood loss?
She slowly opened her eyes and looked forward, seeing Yin Xuefeng's face that had become ferocious.
In addition, she also saw that a spear had penetrated deeply into Yin Xuefeng's heart.
She looked back along the spear, and when she turned around she saw that familiar face.
That face that she had thought about for a long time and even looked at it up close in her dreams...
Li Chengqian looked down at her and pursed his lips: "You are such a silly girl."
Silly girl...
Hearing these three words, Yuan The mandarin duck smiled, his eyes and mouth were curved like crescent moons, and his face seemed to have three moons.
Regardless of whether she agreed or not, Li Chengqian raised his hand and took her into his arms.
Then he drew out the spear that pierced Yin Xuefeng's heart and faced the thousands of rebels.
"The leader of the thieves is dead."
He held a spear in his hand and said: "Those who put down their weapons will live, but those who resist stubbornly will be wiped out three families of nine tribes in a row!"
To exterminate nine clans and three households in a row is definitely the most extreme punishment among all the punishments.
To destroy the nine clans is to destroy the father's clan, the mother's clan, and the wife's clan.
Even three households, no more than three surrounding households, will suffer together.
Many rebels look at me and I look at you, none of them know what to do.
At this moment, Cheng Huailiang and Changsun shouted in unison: "Those who put down their weapons will live!"
Cang! A crisp sound.
Someone was the first to throw down their weapons, kneel directly on the ground and shout: "Your Highness, spare your life!"
Dang! Dang! Dang!
In an instant, the sound of weapons falling to the ground and the sounds of begging for life became one.
But these were not what Li Chengqian wanted to hear.
He picked up Yuan Yuan by the waist and carried her towards Zhechong Mansion.
"Pass on my order to exterminate the three Yan families in Yangzhou, destroy ten families of the nine Wu families in Yangzhou, execute the rebel generals in three families, dig up their ancestors' graves, and whip their corpses."
"Pass my order to strictly investigate the traitors who participated in the rebellion in the city. Once found, they will be captured immediately and escorted to the execution ground."
As he walked, he gave orders in an orderly manner.
Neither Changsun Chong nor Cheng Huailiang hesitated, and immediately led their people to arrest people and exterminate their clans.
Others may think that Li Chengqian was too cruel, even digging up his ancestors' graves and whipping their corpses.
But isn't this normal?
Rebellion and rebellion are crimes of treason. How can we tolerate it?
Although the family has done a lot of bad things, it has also done some good things.
Because of this, Li Chengqian let their ancestors go.
But the aristocratic family is deeply involved, and sometimes it is necessary to exterminate the nine clans in order to suppress them.
As for why the nine clansmen who killed Yin Xuefeng had to dig up their ancestral graves and whip their corpses, it must have been for some military generals to see.
If the rebellion succeeds, there is nothing wrong with fame, fortune, and wealth.
But if the rebellion fails, the outcome will be that even the ancestors will not be able to live in peace.
On this day, the entire city of Yangzhou was in turmoil.
After all, there were many people involved in this matter, at least eight families were involved.
Taken together, these people number in the thousands.
On this day, soldiers arresting people could be seen everywhere, and Shilin people escaping could be seen everywhere.
A few days ago, the people of Yangzhou Shilin were still very prosperous, and they were still daydreaming about how glorious their family would be after getting rid of Li Chengqian.
But today they have all become prisoners.
One after another, people were taken to the execution ground and executed.
The mountains of heads and corpses looked horrifying.
But it's enough to scare anyone.
…
Inside Chang'an City.
Li Shimin also received news from Yangzhou.
And when he heard about Li Chengqian's madness, he was really shocked.
In his eyes, Li Chengqian is more like the kind of person who is indecisive, kind-faced and soft-hearted.
But he never thought that Li Chengqian had such a ruthless side.
The ferocity and cruelty towards Yangzhou Shilin was definitely beyond his expectation.
After a long time, Li Shimin came back to his senses. He sighed quietly and said, "I'm afraid I have to help this kid again." Wipe your ass..."
Changsun Wuji, who was sitting in the hall, pursed his lips and chuckled: "His Highness did this perfectly. Why do you need His Majesty to wipe His ass?"
Hearing this, Li Shimin raised his eyebrows: "What does it mean to be seamless?"
"I'm afraid your Majesty has forgotten that the Wu family and Yangzhou Shilin rebelled first in this incident."
Changsun Wuji said calmly: "Since it is a rebellion, why can't His Highness hold the Dingtang Sword and issue orders on His Majesty's behalf?"
Hearing this, Li Shimin suddenly reacted.
He frowned and said, "It sounds like you already knew he had this idea, right?"
"Didn't Your Majesty already know this?"
Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "If this were not the case, why would your Majesty give him the Tang Dao?"
"Furthermore, since the previous dynasty, Yangzhou Shilin has been at odds with me, Northern Shilin."
"Even after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, many people from the south of the Yangtze River refused to serve as officials and worked as errands for the imperial court."
"His Highness helped Datang and His Majesty deal with such an arrogant and rude group of people, which is really a good thing."
Looking at Changsun Wuji's appearance, Li Shimin shook his head and smiled.
"In the end, you know me best."
"But having said that, you have to wipe your butt."
Li Shimin sighed lightly and said: "After all, Yangzhou Shilin is quite huge, and there are also branches of them in the court."
"Now that Gan'er is making such a fuss, there will definitely be a big uproar at court tomorrow morning."
Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji and said, "What do you think about this matter?"
"there is always a solution to a problem."
Changsun Wuji cupped his hands and said, "To a certain extent, His Highness has already set an example for His Majesty."
"If Your Majesty can take this opportunity to pull out Yangzhou Shilin in one fell swoop, there will be many more places in the court for His Majesty's disciples..."
