Chapter nine hundred and sixty-ninth Beiya Destroyed
After three goals and ups and downs for most of an hour, the two people on the bed finally calmed down.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Guo Song said calmly for a moment.
Ying Caihe lay on his chest and said with a sly smile: "Master, do you mean that I work hard on the bed or on the boat?"
"Everything is there!"
Guo Song stroked her amazingly elastic skin. He could feel the changes in Yingcai and physical fitness. Her martial arts must have become more refined.
Ying Caihe suddenly thought of something. After a while, she asked quietly: "Does the master want to kill the little emperor?"
Guo Song asked in confusion: "Why do you ask that?"
"It's nothing, it's just that kid...hey!"
She sighed softly, not knowing what to say.
Guo Song smiled slightly and said: "It seems that you like that little emperor very much, but I can tell you clearly that I will not kill him or replace him. Do you think I will like an emperor who is extremely smart and has great ambitions from the beginning?
?”
"I knew the master wouldn't..."
A big stone fell in Ying Caihe's heart. She took the initiative to hug Guo Song's neck and kissed her, her eyes full of wild hints.
Guo Song was provoked again. He got on his horse again and started another battle.
...........
A few days later, various fleets arrived in Chengdu one after another. Guo Song was not very interested in the officials returning, so he left it to Wen Ji. He only mentioned two principles: first, freedom of coming and going, and second,
Choose the best and use again.
He actually disliked seeing these officials. When Zhang Yanshang committed suicide, all of them were silent and no one dared to speak. Maybe there were many talented people among them, but Guo Song really didn't like this kind of weakling.
Fortunately, Wen Ji repeatedly advised him that these officials had wives, children, and parents, and it didn't matter if they died, but what would happen to their families, who would be retaliated by eunuchs, and their fate would be miserable, so we must understand their difficulties.
Guo Song finally accepted Wen Ji's persuasion and slightly changed his view of this group of officials, so he set these two principles. He would not embarrass these officials, whether they wanted to stay in Chengdu, Chang'an, or return to their hometown.
That's fine, it's all up to you, but if you want to stay as an official, I'm sorry, you must meet the conditions, so it's called merit-based employment.
If all the pits in the imperial court are filled by them, what will happen to the subjects of Chang'an?
After hearing the announcement, the officials were both disappointed and relieved. They were relieved that Guo Song would not hold them responsible for their crimes, and their disappointment was also obvious. Guo Song would no longer allow them to continue serving in the court. In other words,
They were all dismissed.
The officials had no choice but to take their own luggage and return home to Chengdu. They began to think about their own futures. Those who wanted to stay in office went to Wenji to register and prepare for the assessment. Those who no longer wanted to be officials packed their bags.
Ready to return home.
Although Guo Song was relatively indifferent to the officials, he was very much looking forward to the property that arrived later. This included the treasures and valuables that Li Shi collected from all over the world after moving south to Chengdu, as well as the huge amount of property collected by the eunuchs.
There are more than a hundred ships.
Of course, he will not keep this wealth for himself, nor will he squander it into military expenses. This wealth will become his strong family foundation for revitalizing the world in the future.
Early that morning, large ships loaded with wealth appeared on the river, and the fleet escorting the eunuchs of Beiya also arrived.
The soldiers were busy unloading the cargo from the large ship. The large wooden boxes on the dock were piled up like a mountain. This was only the unloading capacity of a dozen large ships. If they were all unloaded, the quantity would be unimaginable.
While unloading, teams of oxcarts were also transporting these wooden boxes into the city. The oxcarts were shuttled back and forth, making it very noisy and lively.
Wen Ji accompanied Guo Song to inspect the dock. At this time, the eunuchs of Beiya with their hands tied behind their backs and wearing hoods were escorted off the ship.
The tall and fat man at the head should be Ju Wenzhen. Wen Ji looked at the eunuchs in the distance and asked, "Your Highness, are you going to kill them all?"
Guo Song nodded slowly, "Not only will he be killed, but he will also be beheaded in public."
"I heard that Huo Xianming committed suicide by taking poison?"
"It doesn't matter if he is dead, as long as his head is here. The three of them are the chief culprits. The eunuchs of Beiya below are also guilty and must be killed. Then there are their descendants and descendants. If they have not committed anything harmful to nature, they can be spared.
If they die, their property will be confiscated."
After a pause, Guo Song looked at Wen Ji sharply, "This matter should have been carried out a long time ago! I want to know how far it has progressed?"
Wen Ji is good in all aspects, smart and capable, with clear ideas and long-term vision. He is not afraid to do big things and not neglect small things. But he has a weakness, that is, he is a bit womanly, that is, he is too soft-hearted.
Wen Ji's face was a little hot and he murmured: "The list has been drawn up. There are ninety-seven households in total. They basically monopolize the famous industry in Bashu. They have also found out their farms and warehouses across Yizhou."
"Then what?" Guo Song asked.
"Then according to His Highness's instructions, all the grain, oil, cloth, tea cakes and salt were confiscated."
Guo Song nodded, "If I guessed correctly, this matter will end here, right?"
Wen Ji could only nod his head and sighed: "They all came to me to beg me. They were all crying and crying. They were all old people and children. What should I do?"
"Shijun Wen——"
Guo Song slightly raised his voice, "I don't want them to confiscate their homes and exterminate their clans. I just want them to spit out all the ill-gotten gains they have made over the years. This request is not excessive. If they think that I, Guo Song, will forget the blame, then they
It’s a big mistake. None of the eunuchs in Bei Ya will survive. The crimes committed by these families are no less than those of the eunuchs in Bei Ya. They just want to escape this disaster without incident? "
Wen Ji knew that King Jin had trouble in his eyes. If he didn't take action, all these families might be slaughtered. He quickly said: "Your Highness, please give me another half month of humble service. I will definitely settle this matter completely."
clean."
Guo Song nodded, "You might as well tell them that it's okay to have wealth rather than life, or it's okay to have life rather than wealth. It's up to them to choose."
At this point, Guo Song believed that he didn't need to be verbose anymore. If Wen Ji still didn't understand, then he could only change the situation.
...........
The next day, the Jin army posted notices throughout the city, saying that they would kill all the eunuchs of the North Government in the East Market Square at 3:00 a.m. on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. This news immediately caused a sensation in the city. For two days in a row, all the streets and alleys
Everyone is talking about this matter. Chengdu and even Bashu have been exploited by the eunuchs and it is so painful. I don’t know how many people have been ruined by them. I don’t know how many people want to eat their flesh and sleep on their skins. This news has caused countless people to beat gongs and drums to celebrate the eunuchs.
It's over, cheer to the sky, the sky has eyes.
Three days later, on the fifth day of May, at dawn, people from all over the city came to the East Market Square.
Time gradually reached noon, and more than 100,000 people gathered in the East Market Square. A huge wooden platform had been erected in the East Market Square. A fence was set up around the wooden platform. The fence was filled with soldiers to prevent the people from attacking the beheading platform when they were excited.
.
There is a long row of tall wooden stakes not far away. One of the wooden stakes has a human head hanging on it. There is a big sign below that states: 'Huo Xianming committed suicide out of fear of crime'.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The drums began to beat, and the dense crowd began to get excited.
Each of the eunuchs was carried up to the high platform by the tall executioner. Most of them had dull eyes and seemed dazed. They neither yelled nor made a fuss. This was also a small trick in public executions, so as to prevent the executed persons from crying out that they were wronged.
Winning the sympathy of onlookers reduces the effectiveness of killing them, so many prisoners will be fed drugs or drank alcohol before setting off to put them in a state of confusion, and finally be chopped off like puppets.
The two people kneeling at the front are Ju Wenzhen and Dou Wenchang, followed by more than sixty other Beiya eunuchs.
At this time, a sergeant shouted: "It's three quarters past noon!"
Guo Song threw out a command arrow and said, "Behead!"
"Cut--" the sergeant shouted loudly.
More than sixty executioners raised their machetes high, and amid the screams, the sharp machetes struck hard...
Next, more than sixty heads were hung on wooden stakes and displayed for seven days.
Under Guo Song's severe iron fist attack, Beiya, which had plagued the Southern Tang Dynasty for nearly ten years, was finally completely destroyed.
