Royal Road

Chapter 360: New Dynasty (3)

Views:

The stage horses take turns, day and night. Eight hundred miles in a hurry, even when entering the royal city, he did not slow down, and the smoke and dust billowed all the way to the palace gate.

"Is there another good news?" As a member of Zhongshushe, Xie Sa was also one of the first to hear the news. But unlike others, this news is more than a joy to him!

His elder brother Xie Kun is now the governor of Youzhou. Every victory on the front line has its merits. As long as Youzhou is pacified, Brother A will definitely do a lot!

Two or three years ago, who would have thought that the Xie Clan of Chen County could also produce a prefect of one state? These high-ranking officials have always been in the pockets of wealthy families. If it wasn't for the elder brother who switched to Bingzhou, where would he be today

Not to mention his elder brother, even he entered the Zhongshu Province and served as a member of the Zhongshu Sheren. Although there is only a sixth-grade rank, Zhongshushe is the most noble and a close minister of the emperor. Only this one can see His Majesty's favor for the Xie family. This made Xie Sa not only grateful, but also secretly alert. When today's sons focus on talents and light on mystical discussions. You must not indulge yourself, you should be as diligent in political affairs as a brother, and repay the kindness of the Son of Heaven!

When Shang'er from her elder brother's house and her own Yi'er become adults, the Xie family should also be able to lay a foundation in the new dynasty, right

Thinking about the family for a while, and thinking about the good news for a while, even Xie Sa was a little out of his mind and couldn't sit still. It is a pity that his qualifications are still low, and he cannot take the lead. The results of this battle can only be recounted by Guo Pu, who is regarded as a renunciation.

This wait is more than an hour. When Guo Pu finally returned to the government office, not to mention Xie Sa, the others also swarmed up and surrounded him.

"How about the good news? Can you win Pingzhou?!" Someone asked anxiously.

Guo Pu grinned and said, "The general of the chariots and cavalry broke Xiangping three days ago! Then Cui Yu died of a stray arrow, and Pingzhou surrendered!"

Hearing this, everyone suddenly applauded. How long did it take, even the two states of Youping were settled. Master Wang is brave and unstoppable!

While Xie Sa was excited, he couldn't help thinking. In the chaos of the army, Shang Neng captured Duan Wuwuchen, the governor of Youzhou, how could Cui Yu die in Pingzhou? Could it be that it was because of the Cui Clan of Qinghe? Also, if Cui Yu didn't die, killing or pardoning him would be really troublesome.

What about Duan? How will the emperor be punished

Just as he was thinking about it, Guo Pu had already continued: "... I heard the good news, Your Majesty Longyan is very happy, and ordered the General of the Chariot and Cavalry to return to Beijing to offer prisoners."

Give prisoners! Your Majesty wants to use this to show off the prestige of the country!

Duan Xianbei, who once ravaged the Central Plains and broke Chang'an, has been completely defeated. How long can the Huns who occupy Yongzhou survive? What about the remnants of the former dynasty who fled to the south? Maybe in my lifetime, I can see the unification of rivers and mountains...

The sound of praise has already sounded. Xie Sa's body trembled with excitement, she couldn't help pinching her palms, trying to restrain her facial expression. If he carefully assists the emperor, in a hundred years, will his family be able to make a mark in the history of youth

With the imperial decree out of the ban, the news of Master Wang's great victory and offering prisoners to Duanmen made the entire Luoyang city boil. This is a grand ceremony that hasn't appeared in many years? But now, only one year after the establishment of the country, you can see it! Da Zhao's Son of Heaven is indeed destined to return!

In eager and excited anticipation, the army returned slowly. If you want to see the pro-military soldiers, inside and outside Xuanyangmen are crowded with people, the sides of the road are not leaking, and there is almost nowhere to go. Who is willing to be left behind

Regardless of the surging crowd, a woman got out of the ox cart and walked forward surrounded by servants. The child who was held in her hand said in surprise, "Auntie, there are so many people on the road, why don't you stay in the car?"

"Master Wang has triumphed, and you should meet him in the road." Standing on the side of the road, the woman fixed her gaze on the army in the distance and replied softly.

On Tongtuo Street, you can already see the army formation. At the forefront is the horse team, with hundreds of Wusun horses striding with their heads held high and their hoofs humming like drums. Then came the warriors in armor, the spears shining brightly, and the flags rustling. Strings of captives were tied with white ropes around their necks and hunched over their shoulders, all unkempt and scantily clad.

The boy was only a few years old, and was frightened half a step back by the terrifying military appearance, then opened his eyes wide and looked at the prisoners curiously. After looking at it for a long time, he suddenly tugged at his mother and asked, "Those are all enemies? Why are they so similar to beggars outside the city?"

Yes, how can these Duanbu Wang Sun still have the prestige in the past? Even small children can't see it.

The woman's eyes stopped in the formation, as if she saw something, she smiled charmingly: "Faced with the emperor's own army, no matter how strong the enemy is, he will turn into a chicken and a dog."

What she said was firm and unequivocal, as if she had seen it with her own eyes.

Is the Son of Heaven so powerful? Is my father also affiliated with the pro-military? The child couldn't help but stood on tiptoe and looked hard. Unfortunately, he was not tall enough to see the direction his mother was looking.

In the middle of the array, a general marched on his horse. He was so handsome and so handsome that no one could see what the man looked like. However, in a hundred battles, the tigers are like eagles and dogs; the thousands of troops and horses are like the fingers of an arm. Even if there are warriors in front and behind, no one can stop the majesty of that man.

Only Lang Jun can teach such characters.

Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar figure, Lu Zhu's eyes filled with tears. Back in the Liang Mansion, did you ever think of today's scene? Married and had children, she had a good life. However, there is not a day that does not miss the time ten years ago.

"Auntie, I want to join the pro-military army too!" The children around him grabbed their mother's hand and whispered.

Green Bamboo smiled, reached out and stroked his son's head: "As long as you practice martial arts diligently, you will be able to repay the emperor one day..."

Just like his father, wearing armor and armor in return for the grace of God.

Tianzi Lubo is set up at the Duanmen, and it is majestic and spreads straight to the gate of Changhe. Ringing the bell, ringing the golden drum, playing the nao song, the emperor ascended the imperial tower, and the drum music was great.

The rope around his neck tightened, and Duan Wuwuchen stumbled forward, like an old sheep being led under the city. Without scolding, he took the initiative to kneel on the smooth imperial road. Beside him were his eldest son Duan Ji Lujuan, his clan son Duan Moqi, and countless members of the Duan clan.

The general of the chariot and cavalry took a step forward: "I have ordered to pacify Youzhou, and the captured prisoners, I would like to dedicate it to the tower, and ask for the order."

This sound, like a sharp whip, slapped Duan Wuwuchen on the back. The majesty of the Duke of Western Liaoning and the power of the Governor of Youzhou have long since vanished. Today, he can only stoop and shrink his shoulders as much as possible, hoping that the emperor of the state of Zhao will spare him a dog's life.

The section is down. Although he and his son were captured before the battle, someone in the Duan clan in western Liaoning finally opened the city gate. If even the subordinate ministers are killed, when the Xiongnu and Jin are attacked, who will dare to offer the city? Of course they wouldn't kill themselves, and surrender was just a ceremony to demonstrate the benevolence of the Son of Heaven.

However, thinking about it this way, Duan Wuwuchen's body was still shaking violently. Old age and exhaustion made his mind buzz. The imperial decree that came from the distant door also became intermittent.

Vaguely, he heard Wang Jun's name. Hearing Yecheng, Chang'an, and those things that he forgot in his head. In the high-pitched voice of the ceremonial official, there was a chill, and the intimidation was overwhelming.

Why bring up these things? Whether attacking Yecheng or attacking Chang'an, they all obeyed the orders of the Sima Clan, and acted according to the king's orders! Could it be that you, Emperor Zhao, are not the former Jin ministers? ! Duan Wuwuchen's face was distorted, sweat poured down like rain, and his heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

The not-so-long edict has come to an end. There is no pardon, no grace, and prisoners of war are handed over to the Ministry of Punishment. The Minister of Punishment is listed, and the decree is requested again.

On the throne, the Son of Heaven opened a golden mouth: "Invading my city and slaughtering my people is an unforgivable crime. Killing without forgiveness."

How far can one person's voice travel on the high platform? However, when the last three words were settled, the ceremonial officer on the side of the emperor repeated loudly: "Kill without mercy!"

Before and after the throne, the four attendants shouted in unison: "Kill Wushe!"

One pass two, two pass four, four pass eight... The shouts were layered on top of each other until they reached the top of Duanmen City, and the three hundred and sixty Lin Jinjun shouted loudly.

"Kill without mercy!"

The roar shook the sky, like carrying wind and thunder!

Duan Wuwuchen's legs went soft and he slumped on the ground. No, it's not possible. Duan Bu is down, he is down...

His father collapsed, but Duan Ji and Lujuan struggled unwillingly, wanting to shout for grace. It's a pity, how can the people around him let him be presumptuous? Choking their necks and gagging their tongues, the soldiers held their heads high, pulled up ropes, and dragged these designated death row prisoners to the execution ground.

On the tower, Liang Feng looked coldly at the figures who were struggling. Of course, he wanted to use Duan Bu, to insert another barrier between the Tuoba Clan and the Murong Clan. But what he wants to use is not Duan Wuwuchen. They plundered Yecheng and sacked Chang'an. How many innocent lives were killed by these people? Someone has to seek justice for the eight thousand women lying on Yi Shui.

As for killing. The Duan clan obeyed Wang Jun, the governor of Youzhou, and Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea. These people are precisely the representatives of the decline and decay of the Western Jin Dynasty, and they are the evidence that the Jin state is not right. Following the remnants of the previous dynasty and rebelling against him, he killed Duan Bu and sent him to prison, justifiably justified.

And this will also become Zhao's future national policy. The world is uncertain, and there are countless battles to be fought. Among the enemies they face, some will fight to the death, and some will abandon the city to surrender. But he will never use the "tyrants" of those brutal people. Those who want to use the common people as bargaining chips and exchange their lives for Zhao'an are all people who can be killed!

In the chest and abdomen, anger is like ice, cold and cold. I don't know how many Jingguan towers can be built on the heads of these people...

"Your Majesty, it's time to reward the generals." The muezzin whispered.

Liang Feng took a breath and waved to let the ceremony continue. Adding officials and titles, adding more titles and cities, this is a deserved reward for soldiers who have been loyal to the country. There are also Tuoba and Murong departments, and they will also be generously gifted. When the weakened section reappears between the two, they will not converge their minions. The grassland will fall into chaos again, and the rivalry between the two powers should be able to hold back their footsteps of going south to herd horses.

It was a good victory, but Liang Feng didn't have much joy in his heart. There are too many things to deal with one by one. However, the tightly locked eyebrows slowly stretched out when they saw the figure of a person.

The addition of armor did not affect the fitness posture. The man knelt down before the steps and saluted the emperor.

Inside and outside Duanmen, there are countless courtiers and officials with countless pairs of eyes. However, Liang Feng didn't care. He got up and came to the man.

"Aiqing has worked hard in this battle, and he will recover quickly."

The white palm rested on the icy wrist guard. The man raised his head, and there was genuine joy in his gray-blue eyes.

Liang Feng also laughed. Isn't it a good story that the ruler and the minister get along with each other

The author has something to say: The reference to the offering of prisoners was the rituals of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but there was no such thing as the Meridian Gate at that time, and the Duan Gate was the Zhengnan Gate.
