Chapter 102: The minister dare not follow the imperial edict

Chai Heng remembered clearly that when this bloody handprint first appeared in people's sight, it was the moment when Yuwen Hu, the great tomb of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, was in full swing. Yuwen Hu not only killed two kings in a row, but also killed Emperor Xiaomin of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the aristocratic clan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Due to disagreement in politics, he killed Zhao Gui, the general of the Zhu Kingdom, and Mo Chen Chong, the Grand Marquis of the Sikong.

One month after Hou Mo Chen Chong's death, this exact bloody handprint appeared in front of Yuwen Hu's case.

At that time, the blood handprint said, "Murder and repay your life, and pay your debts." However, Yuwen Hu, who was powerful at that time, did not take this blood handprint seriously at all.

However, with the appearance of this bloody handprint, Yu Wenxun, the eldest son of Yu Wenhu, was assassinated by an unknown assassin when he was traveling to Puzhou. Yu Wenxun was the prince of Jin. He was surrounded by the general Li Che, the chariot and cavalry, and the 3,000 armored soldiers were all killed. Yu Wenxun and his entourages, including concubines, were killed. Only Li Che hid in the pile of corpses and survived.

Yuwen Hu was furious and ordered the murderer to be searched. Unfortunately, the murderer was not found. His second son, General of the Northern Zhou cavalry and the Minister of the Sihui, Yuwen Shen, was dismantled from eight pieces in the backyard of the Jingzhao Prefecture yamen. Unexpectedly, he did not alarm anyone. Yuwen Hu's two sons died tragically one after another, and Yuwen Hu began to strengthen his protection of his son.

However, since the bloody hand was released, there was absolutely no possibility of a safe ending. From Yuwen Hu's son to his confidants, he was assassinated one after another, which was equivalent to when Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou Yuwen Yong killed Yuwen Hu, Yuwen Hu had actually become a lonely man. Even Yuwen Hu, who had all the military power of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and had greater power than the emperor himself, could not be spared in front of this bloody handprint, let alone the Chai clan?

You should know that the first bloody handprint appeared, from the beginning of Yu Wenxun's death to Yu Wenhu's execution, tens of thousands of people died directly or intermittently.

If this bloody handprint is coincidental with Yuwen Yong's killing of Yuwen Hu, then the bloody handprint that appeared in the third year of Wuping (572 AD) was terrifying.

Hu Luguang, a famous general of the Northern Qi Dynasty, became the queen, and his two daughters were crown princesses and were both named marquis and generals. He also married three princesses. His younger brother Hu Luxian was the governor of Youzhou. He built cities and set up dangers on the border, raised horses and trained soldiers, cultivated water conservancy, encouraged farming, and shocked the Turks. The whole family was well-established and his family was in great success. At that time, Hu Luguang received a bloody handprint: "The uprising retreated bravely, and the whole family was rich and noble." However, Hu Luguang disagreed and was later sued by Gao Wei for destroying the whole family.

As for powerful people like Yuwen Hu or Huluguang, as long as they do not pay attention to the soul-stimulating sticker of the Blood Handprint, they will still be unable to escape the fate of the death of the clan.

Chai Heng hurriedly recruited Jinzhou clan elders to discuss countermeasures in the ancestral hall.

However, the elders of the Chai clan did not believe in this blood-handed soul-stimulating sticker and unanimously decided to ignore it. However, all the six elders of the Ye clan disappeared. At this time, Chai Heng could not sit still and hurriedly asked someone to notify Chai Shao.

...

At the Ba Bridge, Pei Ji led the civil and military ministers, dressed in full dress, and stood in front of the receptionist pavilion to welcome Chen Ying.

Li Shimin, wearing armor, led Duan Zhixuan and Hou Junji to the front of the eavesdropping pavilion. Seeing the formation in front of him, he looked dumbfounded.

"Is this too exaggerated?" Hou Junji said in a daze: "Shangshu Zuo Pushe led all civil and military officials out of the city to greet each other ten miles away. What kind of virtue is Chen Ying's son? He is the great gift!"

Li Shimin turned his head and stared at Hou Junji with a sharp look and said, "One person's power can determine the universe in the east of the river. He can afford this ceremony."

Pei Ji looked at Chen Ying behind Li Shimin, sitting slowly, lifted his legs and stepped forward, bowed and said, "Pe Ji was ordered by the emperor to take charge of His Majesty, and commanded all officials, and welcomed the prince of the champion...!

Chen Ying was stunned and stood there.

All the officials bowed together and bowed loudly, "Welcome to the champion county magistrate."

Chen Ying looked at an old man behind Pei Ji among the ministers, squeezed his eyes at him, and shook his head repeatedly. Although Chen Ying didn't know who the old man was, his intention was very obvious. He just signaled that he would refuse to accept it. The champion Hou was the title of Huo Qubing. Huo Qubing won the wolf Juxu to get such a title, and no one in history has dared to claim to be the champion Hou. In fact, even without the old man's prompt, Chen Ying would not accept such a title.

Chen Ying quickly turned over and chased, took two steps forward, and bowed to salute Pei Ji.

Chen Ying said: "What kind of virtue is Chen Ying? How dare you take this great gift... Pei Xiang killed Chen Ying...!

As he said that, Chen Ying did not avoid trouble and bowed to the officials one by one. Chen Ying said, "Chen Ying paid a visit to Prime Minister Pei, Xiao, Dou... and Duke Jiang... and Duke Lu... and Duke Huai'an... and King... and King of Huai'an... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and... and

Chen Ying's behavior, Li Shimin and Hou Junji looked at each other.

The old official standing behind Pei Ji showed a teaching-worthy look and nodded repeatedly.

Pei Ji's eyes smiled into a crack: "Shangjun County Duke, this is the emperor's decree..."

Chen Ying turned around and bowed to Pei Ji: Pei Xiangguo is the title of the champion county official, I dare not take it!

Pei Ji was stunned.

...

In the palace of the palace, in the Taiji Hall, Li Yuan sat upright on the imperial bed, and civil and military ministers were placed in the hatchback.

After Chen Ying bowed to Li Yuan three times and nine times, the Secretary of the Central Committee ordered Xiao Yu to hold a book of worship in his hand, and was reciting: "The guards of the ministers and ministers are virtuous and respectful; the establishment of the Taisi Department is a common rule. Therefore, the Han Dynasty has palaces and Wei set up cabinets, and all the superiors are upholding the military and national affairs, and the subordinates are governed by all the officials, and the general government is generalized to the generals of the generals, and the rulers of the six armies are lenient and strict... The generals of Lingzhou Military and Horse Capital, Chen Ying, the Marquis of Wugong County, and the country is good and solid... Make a quick decision to clarify the atmosphere of the thief, and the country is sincere, and it can be used to promote the General of the Right Wu Guard, and also the governor of the prefecture. He is appointed as the General of the Cavalry, and the military commander, and the title of Guanjun County, and granted two thousand households in the town... You are the emperor's order, and it is more serious and sincere."

Xiao Yu finished reading and closed the edict.

Li Yuan's face was complicated and he looked at Chen Ying standing under the danmu.

Chen Ying looked calm, bowed and said loudly: "I--Don't dare to obey the order!

All the ministers in the hall were shocked, and Li Yuan was also very surprised. He looked at Chen Ying, not knowing what Chen Ying sold in the gourd.

Li Yuan and Pei Ji looked at each other.

Chen Ying bowed and said, "The Right Wuwei Guard is in charge of the ban. How dare I take the vulgarity of my ministers? The title of Guanjun County has been rare in ancient times. How dare I take the age of a lost minister? But I can only ask Your Majesty to remember my merits and give me a marriage, breeding descendants, and continuing the Chen family's incense. It is enough to...!

Li Yuan's eyes were sharp and he looked at Chen Ying. Chen Ying lowered his head and kept silent. His highness and ministers were stunned and at a loss.

Pei Ji opened his mouth: "Your Majesty..."

Li Yuan waved his hand, stopped him, and slowly stood up from the imperial couch.

In front of everyone, Li Yuan bypassed the imperial case, stepped down the Danba, and walked to Chen Ying.

He looked at Chen Ying with his eyes as if he was a knife.

Chen Ying looked at him calmly without fear.

Li Yuan suddenly smiled, stretched out his hand at Chen Ying, and patted Chen Ying on the shoulder: "Chen Ying... You are not bad, very good."
