Chapter 111 Such hypocrisy must be a traitor(1/2)
After learning about Yang Guang's death, Wu Ben Lang General Sima Dekan led his subordinates Linghu Xingda, direct commander Xu Hongren, city gate man Tang Fengyi, medical officer Zhang Kai and others to block the entire city and set off the prelude to rebel.
Now that the mountains and rivers are in turmoil, he has long been rebellious and only lacks one opportunity.
Originally, his opportunity to rebel was to learn that the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army were plotting to flee west and secretly return home, so he used this to win over a large number of soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army.
Then he rushed into the Jiangdu Palace, hanged Emperor Yang of Sui, and started the Jiangdu Mutiny!
This time, under the ulterior motive of Xu Mu, he embarked on the old path of history.
"It's time for you. It won't be long before the news of Lao Yang being hanged will spread all over the world."
In Pei's mansion, Xu Mu's lips raised, and when he remembered Lao Yang's bet with him, he felt a little relieved.
I don’t know what expression Lao Yang would look like after learning the news of his death.
However, the fire broke out in the city gate, which affected the fish in the pond. This time, Sima Dekan's rebellion had a great impact. The first thing he did was to force the palace and kill all the relatives of the Yang royal relatives and relatives in the Jiangdu Palace.
Only King Xiao of Qin, the eldest nephew of Lao Yang, was left behind.
In Jiangdu City, the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army seemed extremely crazy. After rushing into Jiangdu Palace, they began to attack princes, ministers and nobles.
At the same time, because Lao Yang stayed in Jiangdu all year round, Jiangdu was equivalent to half of the imperial court. A large number of ministers loyal to Yang Guang were visited by Xiaoguo Army and then brought one by one to the bank of the Huai River.
"Pei Ju, the Minister of Personnel, take it away from me, no matter how old or young you are!"
The city gate Lang Tang Fengyi personally led the team to wander around the city and brought all the ministers to the bank of Luoshui.
By chance, I brought it to the vicinity where Pei Ju and Xu Mu were fishing on weekdays.
After all...the water here is deep!
Fish have too many water depths and are extremely easy to drown.
Pei Ju and Xu Mu walked side by side, both of them were tied up by ropes, but Xu Mu was not panicked at all.
This scene was also expected by him.
But Pei Ju... looked solemn and full of sorrow.
As the spy leader, although he has not worked in spy work for many years, his eyes and ears are all over Jiangdu City, and he is as insightful as to the situation in Jiangdu.
When he blocked the city gate, he expected this disaster.
Seeing Pei Ju's expression was tragic, Xu Mu couldn't help asking, "What are Mr. Pei thinking?"
"I'm thinking that if I encounter that big fish a few more times, I'll learn to water." Pei Ju said seriously.
Xu Mu: “…”
At this point, he realized that Pei Ju's obsession with the big fish was really deep.
And on the side, the shouts of ministers and the sounds of falling from the water kept coming.
"Plop—"
The water splashed everywhere, and then I heard the constant struggle and shouting, and it soon became weaker and there was no sound.
Hundreds of people of all sizes were surrounded by soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army, and they were forced to jump into the water one by one.
The city gate man Tang Fengyi sneered at the ministers: "Aren't you all the people who claim to be loyal to the emperor and patriotism? Your Majesty has collapsed, why not go with him?"
According to Sima Dekan's order, he was responsible for arresting all ministers, while the captain Linghu Xingda was responsible for... entering the palace and arresting royal relatives.
"What? Your Majesty is dead?"
Many old ministers loyal to Yang Guang immediately burst into tears, crawling on the ground, and crying in silence.
All the news of Yang Guang's disappearance was blocked by Pei Qiantong.
Except for a few people who know, most people think that Yang Guang came to Jiangdu Palace a few months ago, and then had fun every day without caring about the government affairs.
"You and the traitors dare to kill the monarch. I fight with you-" Many ministers were indignant and grinned, trying to bite Tang Fengyi to death with their teeth.
"Bang!"
But how could these old ministers be the opponents of Tang Fengyi, who had been through a long battle formation? They all became honest with each other with a slap.
"Xiao Jian, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Yang Guang's loyal subordinates, drowned!"
"Fan Zhongda, Minister of Rites and Yang Guang, are drowning!"
...
Immediately afterwards, Tang Fengyi took out a booklet and continued to call for drowning.
Among these ministers, Xu Mu soon saw Pei Yun, who was about to be the chief supervisor.
In the original history, he was upright and loyal, and he was drowned alive during this palace change.
"Why haven't Ling Qian come yet?"
Watching one minister after another being pushed into the water, Xu Mu frowned.
This time, the reason why he wanted to re-promote Sima Dekan and Yu Culture and Rebellion was mainly because he wanted them to lead their troops back west according to the original history and rebel.
Then he had a fight with Li Mi and others to destroy the power of these colleagues.
Of course, the most important thing is that... there is a large copper mine in the south of Jiangdu City, and no one has discovered its true value.
Since the Western Han Dynasty, Xiaojinshan has been collecting copper, but its output is extremely small and is now controlled by Yu Culture and He.
This is also his most important purpose in Jiangdu.
If such a large copper mine is obtained by him, Wanmincheng can cast copper coins and will achieve faster development in technology.
If Yu Wenhua didn't leave, he could not secretly win the little gold mountain.
This is the real gold medal!
From the Western Han Dynasty to the present, it has not been mined yet in the Qing Dynasty.
The famous Danyang copper comes from here!
But as he fished with Pei Yun in the past few days, Xu Mu gradually appreciated the old man's talent.
He has a straightforward temperament and never gets along with Yu Culture and culture. The most important thing is that he has decades of experience as a chief supervisor.
There are so many craftsmen under my command!
And most of them are capable people, which is scarce in research institutes!
"Pei Yun cannot die!"
After seeing ministers drowned, Xu Mu said in a deep voice.
Pei Yun is the most suitable person for the construction of major artifacts in Wanmin City in the future.
so……
"Being the chief magistrate, Pei Yun, has always been upright and drowning!" Tang Fengyi, the man from the city gate, finally read Pei Yun's name.
Pei Yun snorted coldly, his expression as usual, his face remained unchanged, and he stood by the river.
Hearing the news that Yang Guang was dead, he felt very sad and wished he could eat his flesh for Tang Fengyi and others.
But now people are the slaughter and the meat of fish, so they can only go to the righteous.
Even if he dies, he must be a loyal minister who is upright and unafraid of death!
In front of many soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army, Pei Yun recited in a deep voice: "Life is what I want; righteousness is what I want. Both cannot be obtained, and those who sacrifice life to seek righteousness. Life is what I want, and those who want more than life, so they are not to be able to gain; death is what I hate, and those who hate more than death..."
While reciting, he was preparing to jump into the water, his tone was sad and extremely tragic.
"Okay! Pei Dajian is upright and honest, so he should be the humerus of my Great Sui!"
There were also ministers who had not been pushed into the water. When they heard this scene, they shed tears and cheered loudly.
However……
"Pretty, General, he is not a loyal minister!"
At the critical moment, Xu Mu stood up and shouted loudly.
His words made Pei Yun's atmosphere collapse instantly after a long time.
The city gate Lang Tang Fengyi turned around and stared at Xu Mu. He found that he had never seen this young man before.
In order to save Pei Yun's life, Xu Mu didn't care about so much and continued to pour dirty water on him: "Look at it, General, if he is a loyal minister, as a general, how could he let Yuwen Zhi and the general act as a supervisor and make money at will?"
Tang Fengyi frowned slightly and nodded in recognition.
Everyone in Jiangdu City knows that Yu Wen Zhihe, as the general, is the second in charge of the supervisor...
However, he was able to control the actions of merchants in Jiangdu City and make money wantonly. Pei Yun had no tricks and could not be argued no matter what.
Pei Yun was so angry that he trembled all over when he heard these words.
I... I have accumulated a reputation for decades, but I was ruined by this kid?
Seeing that it was effective, Xu Mu continued, "You are all deceived by the appearance he created. He is not only not a loyal minister, but also a treacherous minister who deceives the world and steals reputation! The so-called treacherous is like loyalty, and it is him!"
Xu Mu was speechless. As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Yun, an old man in his seventies, was so angry that he trembled. He pointed at Xu Mu with his lips trembling so hard that he couldn't speak.
"He has countless beautiful maids in his family and accepts bribes from Yuwen Zhi and tens of thousands of coins every month. He lives a very uncomfortable life, so he has leisure and elegant taste, fishing in Huai River every day!"
