Chapter 182
Cai Yong and Yang Biao could not help but sigh.
They simply kept silent. They were obviously discouraged.
Tai Chang Zhongfu was silent for a while, then he slowly said
“I don’t know what I can do to make the general show mercy!”
Guanglu Xun Deng Yuan quickly said
“Yes, this is all our fault. I hope the general can be magnanimous!”
Gu Changan smiled slightly and said slowly.
“I could have chosen not to cause so much killing. I’m not a bloodthirsty person!”
“This audience rebellion can imitate the previous one!”
“First of all, the main culprit behind this incident must not be tolerated!”
“They instigated rebellion and plotted evil, they must be sentenced to death to deter evildoers!”
“Secondly, the wealthy families and powerful clans in Guanzhong who were involved in this matter have done nothing for the country or the imperial court!”
“Instead, for a petty profit, he actually plotted to usurp the throne. It is truly sad, lamentable and hateful!”
“The heads of these wealthy and powerful families in Guanzhong can be said to be unforgivable and must be sentenced to death!”
“All the officials and aristocratic families who participated in the rebellion!”
“All their property will be confiscated!”
“All the male members of the 123 families were conscripted and became soldiers in the farming fields!”
“All unmarried women in the family or those without husbands and children are assigned to marry into the army!”
“The women in the family, who had husbands and children, became weaver girls and could only be reunited with their families after three years of atonement!”
“The old and the young are taken care of by the imperial court, and the imperial court will not be stingy with this favor!”
Gu Changan paused here.
He continued
“But in order to avoid such a thing from happening again!”
“Those who are begging for mercy today need to send their descendants to serve as officials!”
“I will make the next call-up later, no one can refuse!”
“Otherwise, let’s stop this matter!” As soon as
Gu Changan finished speaking, the entire Chongde Hall fell silent.
No one expected Gu Changan to resort to this trick.
Once the descendants of the civil and military officials in the court began to serve as officials, then in the eyes of those whose families were confiscated
, all the ministers in the court were traitors.
Moreover, once they start working under Gu Changan, who will trust them in the future?
Wouldn’t they be excluded like Cai Yong and Yang Biao now?
However, Gu Changan’s tone was very firm.
If everyone disagrees, it means that this matter cannot be discussed.
Wouldn’t the bloody killing that Gu Changan set off be blamed on these civil and military ministers?
Cai Yong and Yang Biao, two old ministers who had been wronged, couldn’t help looking at each other. There was a hint of gloating in their eyes.
Although they are not young, it does not mean that they don’t have temper.
Emperor Liu Xie felt that today’s court meeting lasted too long.
He asked directly:”My ministers, what do you think about the general’s opinion!”
He felt that this kind of court meeting was very boring.
He was like a puppet being pulled by strings.
If it dragged on for too long, it would be too boring.
Facing the questioning of Emperor Liu Xie, the civil and military officials in the court could not delay any longer.
They all agreed with Gu Changan’s opinion.
It was no use disagreeing now.
If Gu Changan really started a killing, those who disagreed would become the culprits and the ones to take the blame.
Seeing that all the civil and military officials in the court had no objection,
Liu Xie took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
“In this case, the main culprit responsible for organizing this rebellion must be killed!”
“All the patriarchs of the noble families involved in this incident have an unshirkable responsibility and shall all be convicted and executed!”
“As for the families of those who participated in the rebellion, they will be dealt with in the same way as the general!”
“But please, General, please be cautious so as not to cause unnecessary chaos in Guanzhong!”
As Emperor Liu Xie issued the edict, with the experience of the first time, the second matter was very simple to handle.
Especially with the participation of the Jinyiwei.
This time, countless aristocratic families in Guanzhong were raided and arrested.
These people did not learn their lessons.
They escaped the first rebellion.
The second time, they actually participated.
It was really tempting to gain benefits.
Beheading, house confiscation, exile, and arranged marriage are the main things happening in Chang’an City recently.
At the same time, the conscription order issued by Gu Chang’an made the outstanding talents of the civil and military families in the court take up official positions and start to serve as officials.
It greatly alleviated the talent gap in Guanzhong.
Many young officials who had been trained before began to enter Liangzhou, Luoyang area, Nanyang County, Henei County, and parts of Yanzhou.
This caused a talent gap in Guanzhong.
These beheaded civil and military ministers, patriarchs of aristocratic families, they also have relatives and friends, students and former officials.
Without any restrictions from Gu Changan, many people came to see him off with wine and delicious food.
In this situation, some people were inevitably curious.
They asked the people who had watched the entire battle at the scene.
Was it true that Gu Changan fought one against three hundred?
When a man is about to die, his words are good.
What’s more, they are his relatives and friends who came to see him off.
These people did not hide anything and told the truth.
When everyone’s news was put together, everyone began to be shocked.
It turned out that this was not Gu Changan deliberately mythifying his martial arts.
It was a real thing.
Facing countless crossbows, violent horses pulling carriages, and 300 elite soldiers, none of them caused any harm to Gu Changan.
Instead, Gu Changan directly killed all of them.
To sum it up, according to what these people who were about to be beheaded said,
Gu Changan was like a god or demon descending to the earth, and he was not a match for human power.
Gods and demons descending to the earth, this new name of Gu Changan, quickly spread from Chang’an City…. ps:▄█ˉ█●Please, it’s on the shelves, please subscribe, flowers, evaluation votes, rewards, comments!.
