Chapter 37 Chapter Thirty-Seven

A shocking news came from the post envoy of Ganzhou: Aguli, Ganzhou, is reversed. Because brothers Han Chan and Tuoba were going to be executed today, many nobles of the Tuoba tribe had been making a fuss these days, and some old and prudent ministers began to feel that the punishment was too severe.Of course, in terms of crime, these two people should be executed, but legal principles are nothing more than human feelings, and legal principles must be subordinated to the interests of the court. Right now, brothers Tuoba and Hanchan should be put under house arrest, and another virtuous person should be selected from among their clansmen to serve as chieftains. It is a better way to stabilize the court, so many ministers went to court, trying to persuade Yang Hao to change his mind and do his best.

Just at this time, the Ganzhou post envoy arrived and brought the news of the Huihe rebellion in Ganzhou, which immediately caused an uproar in the court like a thunderstorm on dry land. Yang Hao passed the post envoy to the main hall and inquired in person, only then did he know what happened.It turned out that Hu Laowen colluded with Prince Ali, one assassinated Aguli and the other assassinated Suerman, trying to regain control of the entire tribe. As a result, both of them missed, and Aguli was injured and fled. Zhang Pu from Ganzhou got in touch and dispatched a group of people to protect her and return to Ganzhou safely.

At this time, Su Erman led his own troops, and was in full swing with Hu Laowen's clansmen. Aguli reappeared in Ganzhou, but Hu Laowen had passed away. His younger brother and son were far less prestigious than himself. The control power was already limited. At this time, under the attack of Aguli, Su Erman and Suzhou soldiers and horses, a rebellion broke out quickly. Hu Laowen's cousin Xiao Manying killed his cousin and nephew, and carried the head Before the battle, Ganzhou calmed down again. However, shortly thereafter, the troops transferred by Zhang Pu to Ganzhou to assist Aguli in stabilizing the regime had frequent conflicts with the local tribal people, and the relationship between the two sides deteriorated rapidly. There was a gang fight in the street, both sides had casualties, so they each gathered more troops, and the swords were tense for a while, and Su Erman, the Juggernaut, went out in person to negotiate with the generals of the reinforcements in Suzhou. If they come forward to suppress them, I am afraid that the Suzhou reinforcements and the local tribes will have to fight.

Shortly thereafter, Aguli's people discovered an underground treasure of the Yuezhi Kingdom under the ruins of the local Heishui City. The Suzhou garrison heard the news and wanted a piece of the pie. How could they give in, so the long-simmering conflict between the two sides finally broke out in an all-round way. Aguli got this treasure, her strength greatly increased, and she also became tough. The change in Aguli's attitude made the Huihe tribes more confident. The conflict between the two sides quickly evolved into a full-scale war, and Aguli raised the flag to rebel. Aguli got the black water relic, and used it to recruit troops and save food and grass. After a while, she became so popular that she even drove out the Suzhou garrison.Zhang Pu heard the news from Suzhou and rushed to put down the rebellion, but he also failed again and again. Now he is retreating steadily and fled to Xingzhou.

As soon as the incident was explained, the hall was full of voices. Some people were furious and demanded to send troops to put down the rebellion immediately. Some people took the opportunity to claim that it was because the king dismantled the Weiwu tribe and abolished its hereditary system, which made the leaders feel uneasy. Ask Yang Hao to change his course and change his strategy. Yang Hao sneered when he heard the words: "In the old days when Ye Luohe was still there, Ganzhou Huihe had 300,000 soldiers and horses, and they were still vulnerable to a single blow. Now it's just Aguli, a family of women and Taoists, and Ganzhou Huihe has not regained its vitality. How big is the storm? The chaos in Ganzhou can be quelled with the flick of a finger, what is the point?"

Li Tianlun hurriedly stepped out of the class, playing: "Your Majesty..." Yang Haomeng waved his hand, and said: "Don't need to say too much, the big deal is that the king will once again drive the personal conquest, little Aguli, I'm afraid she will go to heaven. Those who use Aguli's chaos to justify Tuoba Hanchan are even more Absurd. This king has made up his mind, and immediately gathers his troops to wait for the battle. Wait for Zhang Pu to come back and grasp the details. Right now, immediately execute Tuoba Hanchan and Tuoba Heshao, so as to rectify the law of the country and set an example to others! Those who despise the king and the laws of the country will be severely punished!"


On the execution ground, the two brothers Tuoba Han Chan and Tuoba Heshao were unkempt, and their previous arrogance was completely gone. For many years, even Li Guangrui had not acted too harshly against the powerful tribal leaders under his command, and their fear had weakened.When they were taken to the execution ground and the executioner stood beside them with sharp steel knives, they realized that not every rebel could be forgiven.When Li Yimin, the governor of Suizhou, fought against the banner, why did his second brother Li Yiyin show mercy?He personally chopped off the third brother's head and hung it on the pole.

The brothers Tuoba and Hanchan finally realized that they were afraid. They regretted that they should not have obeyed the instigation of their clansmen and offended Yang Hao.Although Yang Hao looks friendly at ordinary times, his world was brought down by himself after all. An emperor on horseback, a king who conquered the world with his own hands, who lacks boldness and courage?If God can give them another chance to live, they will definitely not be this early bird! The two dumb birds were tied to the execution platform in a trance, and they didn't even listen to what Tuoba Wu, who was standing by, was saying.

Tuoba Wu was sweating profusely, encouraging them: "Don't worry, Yang Hao is so unscrupulous, the old man is also angry, he will not ignore this matter." Tuoba Hanchan looked at the sky in a trance, and said desperately: "When noon comes, if the old man is willing to strike, is there still time?" "If it's in time, it will definitely be in time, don't worry..." Tuo Bawu was persuading, and the guard of honor of the prison officer came from afar. These three people were the chiefs of the third department, headed by Lin Pengyu, and they entered the tall prison shed. Lin Pengyu sat in the middle and looked at the The sky smiled coldly, in his hand was a cylinder of vermilion command arrows, the vermilion command arrows looked strangely dazzling, like the noose used by the king of Hades, a command arrow, a life.

The scene was quiet, with tens of thousands of people onlookers, killing people is not unusual, but beheading two heads of the Tuoba family is like beheading two dignitaries of the royal family, there is still a sensation, let alone the people of Xingzhou The daily entertainment activities are very scarce. "Cough, noon is approaching, the two adults..." Lin Pengyu bowed his hands to the two chief officials of Dali Temple and Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the two adults hurriedly returned the salute: "My lord, please, your lord is the chief prison officer, and your lord should give orders."

Lin Pengyu chuckled, twisted his beard and said, "Since that's the case, the old man will do his part." He coughed, straightened his body, stretched out his hand, grabbed the command arrow, straightened his face, and shouted loudly: "Come on, it's almost noon, get ready..." "Wait!" Suddenly there was a loud shout, and the crowd parted in response, and saw a group of horses and horses approaching in anger, there were no less than a hundred of these people, all of them were decorated with Hu clothes, and the materials of the clothes seemed to be dignitaries There is an old man with a white beard in front of his head, holding an older man in his hand. The old man's beard and hair are like silver, but his back is straight and his spirit is bright, which is exactly what Li meant. Li Zhiyi originally wanted to hide behind the scenes and put pressure on Yang Hao through his clansmen to force him to submit. Unexpectedly, Yang Hao insisted on going his own way and ignored him at all. Some clansmen split with them, thus achieving the goal of pulling a group, fighting a group, and completely disintegrating the huge power of the Tuoba clan. Today was the time to cut Tuo Tuo and Han Chan's brothers, Li Zhiyi was furious, and planned to go directly to the palace to ask for orders in person, but on the way, he heard that Ganzhou was rebellious, the old man rolled his eyes, and immediately turned to the execution ground. Now that Ganzhou is rebelling, there must be no more internal chaos. This is a question that any normal ruler should think about. Based on his understanding, Yang Hao is definitely not stupid, and he will definitely think about this question.Li Zhiyi originally wanted to lead hundreds of nobles from the Tuoba clan to riot in the Golden Palace, but now that he got the news, he simply gave up his original plan. He wanted to directly riot in the execution ground, and let Yang Hao withdraw his order in front of everyone in the world. As soon as Lin Pengyu saw the aggressive approach of the hundred and ten people, he quickly left his seat and got up, and said with a calm face: "Tuoba Qingyun, I am ordered by the king to supervise the execution. What do you want to do?" Tuoba Qingyun, who supported Li Zhiyi, sneered and said: "Lin Pengyu, don't be arrogant, our old man is here, and the old man wants to save Tuoba and Han Chan brothers, you can't kill this man!" When Tuoba and Han Chan brothers saw Li Zhiyi, they couldn't help crying with joy, and shouted loudly: "Old man, we are wronged, old man help!" Li Zhiyi reprimanded: "You bastard who is worthless, our Tuoba family is indomitable, once He Wei dies, I will wipe away any tears shed!" Tuoba and Han Chan wanted to wipe away their tears, but unfortunately they were tied up and couldn't move at all.Those Tuoba nobles swarmed up, although there were many officers and soldiers guarding the law field, they did not dare to use swords and guns against so many lords, they were immediately pushed aside, and Li Zhiyi was surrounded by people rushing to the execution platform. Go to the supervisor's seat and shout: "Untie them!" Although the officers and soldiers were rushed away, under the command of Lin Pengyu, they still guarded the execution ground. They guarded Tuoba and Han Chan in the middle, pushing and shoving with the Tuoba nobles who came forward to release them. In exchange, the scene was in chaos. Lin Pengyu shouted: "Mr. Li, I was ordered by the king to supervise the execution. You bring people to disturb the execution ground. This is a violation of the king's law. Aren't you afraid of the king's surprise?" Li Zhiyi sneered and said, "The king's law? The king's law is also the king's law established by our Tuoba family. The old man has lived to be more than eighty years old, is he still afraid of death? This old man is the oldest member of the Tuoba family, and the king acted recklessly , did something wrong, as an old man, I can’t just watch him make a mistake and leave it alone. I’m in charge of today’s matter, and the old man will stay here. Han Chan and He Shao can’t be killed. The king blames it? Hey! Well, the old man is sitting here, waiting for the king to punish him!" Li Zhiyi leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes and regained his composure. The news quickly spread to the palace, and half an hour later, the king's guard of honor left the palace and walked towards the Meridian Gate. All the civil and military personnel of the Manchu Dynasty followed, with a mighty momentum, and behind them was a guard with bright armor and excellent weapons. They were the palace guards trained by Cheng Shixiong. When Cheng Shixiong was in Guangyuan, he specially selected a team of elite soldiers. Tall and tall, they were selected in accordance with the standards of the imperial guards, and they were bloody on the battlefield. Every move, there was naturally an awe-inspiring murderous aura. This team was also given to Yang Hao. Now almost all the soldiers of the palace guards have reached the With this standard, there were clangs between deeds and deeds, full of murderous aura, and the arrogant Tuoba nobles felt a little timid when they saw it. They felt more at ease when they saw Li Zhiyi still sitting firmly on the stage. "The king..." Everyone bowed to Yang Hao one after another, Li Zhiyi glanced at Yang Hao arrogantly, got up slowly, bowed slightly to him, and said: "I have seen the king." Yang Hao said with a smile on his face: "The old man is the oldest in my Tuoba clan, and there is no need to salute in front of this king. Come, come, old man, please sit down." Li Zhiyi rolled his eyes and asked, "Does the King still regard my Tuoba family as his family?" Yang Hao said solemnly: "This king's adoptive father is from the Tuoba family. Yang Hao inherited the mantle of his adoptive father and started his business by fixing the difficulties in the five states. Only then did the world come into being. How dare we forget it?" A slight smile appeared on Li Zhiyi's old face, and he said arrogantly, "Your Majesty still remembers, very good." Yang Hao did his part, and sat down on the main seat, and Li Zhiyi, who originally occupied the main seat, became the side seat.The two sat down, and Yang Hao said: "The old man is too old to move around. If there is anything wrong, just ask someone to go to the palace to report it. Why are you here?" Li Zhiyi sighed and said, "It's not because of these two unworthy things. Your Majesty, the two of them did offend your Majesty, but no matter what, they are the leaders of a powerful tribe of our Tuoba clan. Your Majesty is able to have today, they all contributed their efforts and made mistakes, it’s all right if you teach them a lesson, we are all a family, why would you make a fuss about housework with swords and guns? Isn’t that chilling?” "The old man's words are wrong." Yang Hao said seriously: "Ever since Yang Hao took over the stall from his adoptive father, he has worked hard and dared not slack off. Today's glory? Today, Yang Hao is not only the lord of the Dangxiang Ba clan, but also the lord of the entire Xixia Kingdom. Governing a clan is very different from governing a country. How can the officials be restrained if there is no discipline? Yang Hao beheaded Han Chan with tears today. It is for the sake of the eternal foundation, that is the righteousness to kill relatives." Li Zhiyi raised his eyebrows and said: "If the purpose of punishment can be achieved, why do you have to kill it? Besides, the king broke up the entire Weiwu tribe and abolished the system of hereditary clan leaders. What's the answer?" Yang Haodao: "Why are Tuoba Hanchan and Tuoba Heshao so arrogant, beheading the imperial envoys, and tearing up the imperial decree? What they rely on is that he has soldiers and power in his hands. It is precisely for the sake of punishing those who have no law in his eyes so severely." More tribes and people can live and work in peace and contentment. If today they follow the law privately because they are members of the Tuoba clan and have some meritorious service in the past, then what will this king do if other tribes violate the king's law in the future?" Li Zhiyi's eyes turned cold and he said, "Does Your Majesty want to keep this eternal inheritance?" "certainly." "Since this is the case, the king shouldn't be so whimsical. On my grassland, this has been the rule for thousands of years. Even if Tuoba and Han Chan offend the king, there is no reason to eradicate his tribe." "Haha, the old man is serious. The people of the Weiwu tribe have not been punished, but... Tuoba Hanchan and Tuoba He are not up to the mark. This king directly brought these people under his rule. They can't manage well. Ben It’s all for the king to take care of himself. It’s not like before. In the past, the head of my clan was just in charge of the largest tribe. Now Xixia is a country, a kingdom, and the way of governance is naturally different from the past. The old man still If you think about things with your old brain, it won’t work.” "Hehe, is the king's method the fundamental method? Think about the Liao Kingdom, which also developed from grassland tribes. Official-Han system, but the Khitan Eight Divisions basically still follow the old system? Why is the king so alarmist, it seems that if it is not the case, there will be a catastrophe?" "The old man is right, so the Liao Dynasty is full of turmoil, usurpers and rebels are always on the way, and the emperor rarely dies well, not to mention, in the past few years, several princes have rebelled one after another. If you want long-term peace and stability, The rule of law must be strict. Those who are arrogant and rebellious and violate the laws of the country should be severely punished!" Li Zhiyi said sternly: "Your Majesty, if you do this, you won't be afraid of chilling the hearts of the Tuoba clan and causing even greater disasters? As far as I know, Aguli in Ganzhou has already rebelled, and Aguli has rebelled. There are many vassals, and none of them There is no reason for the king to abolish the hereditary system of the Weiwu tribe. If the leaders of other tribes feel jealous because of this, and echo Aguli, how many years can the king's eternal inheritance be passed on?" Yang Hao sighed lightly and said: "Yes, this is exactly what this king is worried about. I mean that public morality is highly respected, and I hope that the people of my clan who don't understand my king's painstaking efforts can come forward to appease me and share my worries. .As for those with ulterior motives..." There was a slight murderous look on his face, and he sneered, "If such a person does not rebel today, he will definitely rebel in the future. Since he will rebel sooner or later, hum! Then it is better to deal with them early, so that our Xixia Kingdom can enjoy long-term peace and stability." Li Zhiyi suddenly stood up: "Your Majesty disregards the wishes of so many clan chiefs, must he go his own way?" Yang Hao didn't even look at him, but stood up slowly, his stern gaze slowly passed over the face of the head of Baiyu Tuoba, and he said word by word: "I am the leader of the Dangxiang Bashi. I , is the king of the Xixia tribes. My will is the will of the Dangxiang Bashi. My interests are the interests of the Xixia tribes! I am the king, you should follow my will!" Yang Hao's unquestionable tone, coupled with the soldiers of the palace guards standing like mountains with murderous aura on both sides, frightened the more than a hundred people, and for a while, no one dared to speak out to refute. Tuoba Qingyun anxiously said: "Your Majesty, please think twice..." "The law of the country is like a mountain, so why think twice?" "This..." Tuoba Qingyun glanced at Li Zhiyi who was too angry to speak, rolled his eyes, and said again: "The king originally said that he would ask to be killed at noon, but now it is past noon, is it..." Yang Hao sneered, and interrupted: "The king said it was three o'clock in the noon, not noon. Come, someone, take the death row prisoner Han Chan and Tuoba Heshao, and give me a knife. Death row prisoners are guilty of the same crime!" He strode forward, and the guards in iron armor followed immediately, surging like a mountain, Tuoba Qingyun and others retreated a few steps in shock, Tuoba Han Chan felt desperate, and cursed: "Yang Hao, what are you doing today?" Kill me, my two brothers, even if they die, they will turn into ghosts, and I will never spare you!" Yang Hao sneered, looked at Tuoba Qingyun and asked: "Weimen Wenzhan, at three o'clock in the afternoon, this example is from the Central Plains, do you know the reason?" Tuoba Qingyun gasped and said: "I... I don't know..." Yang Hao said loudly: "The Meridian Gate is the place where civil and military officials come in and out of the pilgrimage, and the place where the emperor must pass through when he goes on tour. Do dark things! A person has a soul after death, and the soul can transform into a ghost. At three o'clock in the afternoon, it is the peak of the anode, a steel knife can kill people, the scorching sun can kill ghosts, and the soul of a person is completely destroyed. After death, there is no rebirth!" He stretched out his hand and pointed at the pair of brothers who were bound together, and said loudly: "Tuoba Hanchan, Tuoba Heshao, disobedience and rebellion, crimes that cannot be punished, I tell you... you don't even have to be ghosts!"
