Six hundred and fortieth chapters enclosure dignitaries
A great victory was won, and the Pegasus entered Chang'an.
Li Heng and Gu Qing both knew very well that this battle had nothing to do with good and evil, good and evil, and the battle was about power, and it was a war extended from the political struggle between the power of the monarch and his ministers in the court.
But for Gu Qing, this battle is of great significance.
Shi Siming died, 50,000 rebels were wiped out, and only some scattered rebels were stationed in the vast land and cities in the north, which basically did not pose a threat to the Anxi Army.
Then, you can let go of what Gu Qing really wants to do.
The basis of the prosperous era is peace. All kinds of reforms and reforms in ancient and modern times have been gradually promoted in the years of peace. In the chaos in the world, benevolent and good government cannot be implemented, and the laws of the court will not be too authoritative among the people.
As the culprit, Gu Qing was determined to kill them. These people who were in trouble in the world must die. Only when they died will the people have a peaceful life.
All the rebel generals above the commander-in-chief were tied up and were even too lazy to send lively things to Chang'an, so they were beheaded directly on the battlefield.
In front of more than 20,000 surrendered rebels, their heads were cut off by the soldiers of the Anxi Army. The blood gathered into a river and flowed to the unknown distance. Headless corpses piled up into mountains. The executioner was like a judge in the underworld, shouting his name loudly. Every time he called a name, it meant that the name would disappear in the world forever.
The beheading scene deeply shocked the rebel soldiers. Many people spit out as they watched, and countless people cried and begged for mercy, knelt on the ground and trembled, and sentient beings were in a different way.
Yan Zhuang, the rebel adviser, was the last one to behead. Yan Zhuang was still very calm before beheading. He was even calm and calm to the executioner to ask the executioner to meet Prince Gu.
The executioner stared at him coldly, his eyes full of contempt and ridicule.
Seeing that the executioner turned a blind eye to his request, Yan Zhuang finally became a little anxious.
"Please tell Prince Gu quickly that I have the technique of slaying dragons, which can help him seize the world and replace Li Tang and the kingdom!"
The executioner couldn't help but hesitate. He was considering whether to send someone to tell Prince Gu.
In the end, he sent someone to ask Gu Qing for instructions. If this person is really useful to the prince, wouldn’t he have to kill him rashly and lose a talent?
The person sent to ask Gu Qing for instructions came back soon, and then shouted to the executioner: "The prince has an order, behead him."
Yan Zhuang was shocked and said anxiously: "Why does Your Highness the Prince refuse to see me? I have good plans, but I can be a million soldiers..."
The sender sneered: "The prince said that those who are not upright in their minds will not be able to use them even if they are extremely capable. The greater the ability, the greater the harm they will cause to the world. Such people must be eliminated immediately."
Yan Zhuang finally fell to the ground in despair, and murmured: "I... shouldn't have ended like this. Those who misled me are not war."
This is right. Yan Zhuang does have some ability among the rebels. An Lushan's rebellion was instigated by him. He planned the favorable battles in the early stages of the rebellion. The rebels swept the north in just a few months, captured Tongguan, and occupied Guanzhong, and almost gained half of the Tang Dynasty. These are related to Yan Zhuang's plans.
Later, An Lushan was stabbed to death, and after An Qingxu ascended the throne, everything changed.
The rebels fought each other in internal struggles, and the power struggle became more and more intense. Yan Zhuang had to get involved in the fight. Most of the rebels' defeat today was military, and the small part was internal friction.
"Hurry up and execute the execution! Get rid of the head and go back to report to the prince." The executioner said impatiently.
A snow-white knife light flashed, Yan Zhuang's head was cut off, blood splashed out, and his headless body still twitched unstoppable.
That night, the seriously injured Feng Yu lay in the camp and suddenly had a fever, but he was still unconscious.
Gu Qing kept guarding outside the camp, waiting for him to wake up.
A night passed, Feng Yu had not woken up, but after all, his life was probably saved. Gu Qing couldn't help but feel relieved.
At sunset the next day, two famous doctors in Luoyang City were almost half-invited and half-killed by their personal guards. The famous doctor consulted, prescribed several prescriptions, and then grinded the medicinal paste to apply to Feng Yu's wound.
Two hours later, late at night, Feng Yu finally woke up.
When Gu Qing heard the scream of surprise from Li Jianjiu in the camp, he breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Feng Yu is finally no longer his lifelong regret.
Walking into the camp, Li Jianjiu was calling Feng Yu's name anxiously and joyfully. The two famous doctors next to him were sweating profusely. Feng Yu opened his eyes amid Li Jianjiu's calls, looked at Li Jianjiu with empty eyes and unconsciously, then looked at Gu Qing beside him, and then fell asleep again.
Gu Qing hurriedly asked the two famous doctors. One of the famous doctors wiped his sweat and said with a smile: "It is a good thing to wake up. This life cannot be lost. It is natural to sleep. You may wake up completely tomorrow morning. Don't worry, Your Highness, the Prince."
Gu Qing felt relieved and bowed to the two famous doctors with gratitude.
The next morning, Feng Yu really opened his eyes, and this time he finally became aware.
Li Jianjiu held his sleeve tightly and cried and laughed. Gu Qing sat aside and said with a smile: "You kid finally woke up. If you don't wake up, I will ask the Taoist priest to summon you."
Feng Yu tried hard to squeeze out a smile, then opened his mouth and said in a weak voice: "Shi Siming..."
Gu Qing whispered: "Shi Siming has been beheaded by Li Bai, and his head has been sent to Chang'an to offer prisoners. Tianbao has been planning a rebellion for fourteen years. Until today, the rebels have been completely suppressed, and the world is peaceful and there will be no more battles."
Feng Yu breathed a sigh of relief and his expression suddenly became relaxed: "Fortunately... I have fulfilled my mission."
"In the battle to combat rebellion, you, Feng Yu, are the first to be the master. There is no need to take any risks. When you return to Chang'an, you will be granted an official title. Your Feng family will prepare to enjoy the happiness of the generations."
Feng Yu looked at Li Jianjiu in a blink of an eye, with deep affectionate and firm eyes.
"I... don't want to be an official, so I'm just willing to return home and grow old with my wife."
Gu Qing sighed, the sour smell of love...
"Okay, then I'll say it another way. Peace in the world is not enough. I want to build a prosperous country. Feng Yu, I need you to help me."
Feng Yu stopped refusing this time and said without hesitation: "Okay."
Gu Qing smiled: "This time I have made great contributions to the country. Just say whatever you want, and I will definitely promise you."
Feng Yu's eyes showed a familiar evil light, and he licked his dry lips, saying, "If Brother Gu really wants to give it to me, it's better to give it to me..."
Gu Qing took a deep breath and quickly looked at Li Jianjiu.
Li Jianjiu was very calm, and even had a smile on his face.
Gu Qing couldn't help but say, "Don't you beat him?"
Li Jianjiu's eyes drooped, and he whispered: "His mouth has always been very cheap. I'm used to it. Don't be rushed to beat him up. Wait until he is injured and beat him up."
Gu Qing fanned the flames with malicious intentions: "Feng Yu and I are both from farmers. Farmers usually have to be beaten by raising animals. After slandering, the animals will become obedient and obedient. Brothers and sisters will consider it..."
…………
When Feng Yu woke up, Gu Qing put down his worries and ordered the Anxi Army to return to Chang'an.
The army crossed the Yellow River in an orderly manner and set up camp outside Luoyang City, major families sought to see each other outside the camp.
The aristocratic family and Gu Qing are now considered to be an alliance of interests. Both sides cannot have a friendship, but they only have common pursuits of interests.
Gu Qing immediately met with representatives of children from major families in the commander's tent.
The person in charge was Xie, whose surname was Xie Chuanjing, and was the son of Xie Kui, the chief of the Xie clan of Chen County.
Xie Chuanjing brought many children of aristocratic families into the camp. These families span the north and south of the Tang Dynasty and lived in their own places. Each family has a profound and profound influence in the local area. Poetry and books have been passed down from generation to generation, and clans and relatives govern the people. The local people are very convinced by them. From another perspective, these families often represent the people's hearts.
Gu Qing cooperated with major families, and the Xie family of Chenjun was a matchmaker between the two parties, so he naturally regarded himself as the leader.
After entering the tent of the general, the children of aristocratic families saluted Gu Qing one after another.
Aristocratic families are aristocratic families, and their cultivation is really different. Even the ceremony is a regular and regular weekly ceremony. They raise their hands flat and bow their foreheads. When they perform the ceremony, they are dignified and serious, just like offering sacrifices to heaven.
The ancients, especially the aristocratic families, were very concerned about the word "ritual and music". They inherited the pre-Qin thought and could not be careless in terms of ritual and music. Every subtle movement must be in place. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to people and the world, which is a big taboo.
Gu Qing felt a little ashamed and didn't know how to return the tribute to be considered qualified. People who are not educated can't learn even if they give a tribute.
Fortunately, the children of aristocratic families dare not blame Gu Qing for his etiquette, so Gu Qing hurriedly gave a cross-handed gift and decided to deal with it.
"There are major families in Guanlong Mountains, Henan, Hebei, and north and south to congratulate His Highness the Prince to quell the rebellion, and the enemy chief was awarded the title of the leader. From then on, the world was peaceful. His Highness the Prince made great achievements and was famous in history. The family congratulated His Highness the Prince." Xie Chuanjing said loudly.
Gu Qing smiled and said, "I would like to thank all the major families for their strong help, creating public opinion among the people, confusing Shi Siming, and promoting our Anxi Army to encircle him, so that we can win."
Xie Chuanjing smiled and said, "Your Highness is so serious. Our aristocratic family is just a icing on the cake. It's just a little bit too much. Even without our help, it would be easy for the Anxi Army to destroy the rebels. The name of "Invincible in the World" is not a waste of time."
Gu Qing still smiled, feeling a little impatient. When will the rainbow farts that you come and go have the end?
Xie Chuanjing is also a person with a good heart. Seeing Gu Qing’s smile perfunctorily, he quickly talked about the important matter: “Your Highness, the rebellion has now been put down. Our family will immediately turn it around. It is the right, the evil is the evil, and the government and the country will soon have public opinions.”
Gu Qing smiled and said, "Can the aristocratic family help me white?"
Xie Chuanjing was stunned: "'Washing'? Well, this word is fresh, yes, it's just whitewashing. All the people are ignorant, and the wind is rain. The major families have a high prestige among the people, and the people are quite convinced of the aristocratic families. They believe whatever we say."
Gu Qing's smile remained unchanged, but he became more and more alert to the aristocratic family.
Cooperation is cooperation, but it is undeniable that aristocratic families are also a disaster. Now that everyone is an alliance, they will naturally be smooth when they are united to the outside world. If one day they have an irreconcilable conflict with aristocratic family, aristocratic families will use the same method to deal with themselves. Those who are in trouble and have the ability must be guarded against.
Xie Chuanjing said again: "The day before yesterday, I heard from Chang'an that the prince's prince is going to test our aristocratic family. We want to find out the powerful and powerful people who took over the war in Guanzhong, Henan. We have found this person. To be precise, there are more than one person, but a group of people..."
Gu Qing raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? Who is it?"
"The leaders are His Majesty's twelve sons of His Majesty, King Yi Li, and the people who are granted the title of Henan Mu. The power of the followers are Yong Li Lin, King Yan Li, King Sheng Li Qi, King Xin Li, etc., a total of more than ten princes, and two princesses and the prince-in-law are also involved."
Gu Qing smiled: "This gang is actually a group of high-end gangs with a luxurious and invincible lineup. I'm afraid no one in the world can do anything to them, right?"
Xie Chuanjing smiled and said, "The princes are in power all over the world, who dares not accept it?"
"That means, I have to solve this problem myself?"
Xie Chuanjing sighed: "The aristocratic families have the ability of aristocratic families. Your Highness Wan Mo underestimated them. In the past half month, the aristocratic families have visited these more than ten princes. Under our persuasion, most of the princes have returned the land. As for the money they lost, the major aristocratic families took the initiative to help them make up for it, and the matter was abandoned."
Gu Qing said curiously: "They are willing to listen to the aristocratic family and willingly return the land?"
Xie Chuanjing said frankly: "In Chang'an City, the aristocratic families can only be respectful to the prince, but after Chang'an City, the prince's power is not as powerful as the aristocratic families."
Gu Qing suddenly realized.
Xie Chuanjing said again: "What's more, we also asked the princes to come out of the banner of His Highness and told the princes that Prince Gu personally inquired about this matter, and was furious, and the princes did not dare not return it."
Gu Qing laughed: "Can my banner shake these lawless princes?"
Xie Chuanjing said seriously: "Your Highness should not belittle yourself. Now even the Emperor of Tang is 70% afraid of Your Highness. How can those princes dare to fight against Your Highness? They are all people who know the current affairs and know the principle of losing money and eliminating disasters. If they anger your Highness, they will not be able to bear the consequences."
"In this way, has the land they occupied by Henan in Guanzhong been restored?"
Xie Chuanjing hesitated for a moment and said, "Most of them are returned, but only... Only King Yong Li Lin refused to return. After An Lushan planned to rebel, Li Lin was appointed as the governor of four roads in Shannan, Jiangxi, Lingnan and Qianzhong. Although he was a remote leader, he was quite arrogant. We persuaded him several times, but finally he ordered to drive him out..."
Gu Qing frowned: "Yongwang Li Lin?"
I vaguely remember that this person had something to do with Li Bai. In the history of his previous life, after the Anshi Rebellion broke out, Li Bai wanted to join the army and serve the country with the heart of serving the country. As a result, the drunkard joined the army of King Yong Li Lin in a confused manner, and was then involved in the rebellion case. Fortunately, he was not involved in the case and was amnesty after exile for a few years. On the way back to Beijing after the amnesty, Li Bai wrote the poem that elementary school students must recite the seven quatrains, "The sound of monkeys on both sides of the strait cannot stop, and the boat has passed ten thousand mountains."
Xie Chuanjing added: "Yong Wang Li Lin occupied more than tens of thousands of hectares of land in Dengzhou, Tangzhou and Xiangzhou, and refused to return a single trace of land."
