Chapter 834: Discuss it for the public

The Liufang Forbidden Army has always been the dominant force in the capital, and the people in Chang'an City have been suffering for a long time. Basically, they avoid conflicts whenever they can and try to avoid conflicts.

But not everyone in the capital is as afraid of these Forbidden Army soldiers who bully and dominate the market, and these Forbidden Army soldiers also have people they can't afford to offend. Famous families like the Hongnong Yang family are the Forbidden Army soldiers who don't dare to offend easily. The presence.

This is not to say that the Yang family of Hongnong had high esteem and many members of the family held official positions. The key is that the family was powerful and had many members. The large area of ​​​​Zuojin Luli is a gathering place for people from the Hongnong Yang clan. Hundreds or even thousands of servants and slaves can be gathered at any time. If the general soldiers of the Forbidden Army rashly provoke them, not only will they not be able to take advantage of them, They will be retaliated against later.

Therefore, the area around the Hongnong Yang family's house has always been an area with relatively good security conditions, and they rarely encounter rude harassment.

But this situation is not absolute. Occasionally, there will still be some short-sighted guys who see that there are many high-end mansions here and come here to cause trouble and extort money. For example, right now, there is a group of one hundred soldiers wearing Imperial Guard robes singing, dancing, and being wild on the street in front of Yang Kuan's mansion. Although there were Yang family slaves shouting to stop him, they completely turned a deaf ear and even threw all kinds of rubbish into the door of Yang Kuan's house even more recklessly.

"Quickly, block this street and teach these crazy thieves Qiu Ba a lesson!"

A steward in Yang Kuan's mansion waved a long stick in his hand and shouted to the hundreds of strong servants who had gathered behind him. He also carried a stick and rushed towards the soldiers.

When they saw so many strong men rushing out of Yang Kuan's house, the soldiers also panicked and began to retreat to the street. However, before they could disperse, servants from other nearby Yang clansmen also came over after hearing the news and surrounded the soldiers on the street.

"Who do you belong to? How dare you come to Huashangong's house to cause trouble? You really don't know whether to live or die!"

Changsun Shaoyuan, who was accompanying the group, saw that there was no one he knew among the soldiers. He was secretly relieved, and immediately yelled and stepped forward to help surround the soldiers.

When these Forbidden Army soldiers were surrounded and about to be beaten mercilessly, suddenly more Forbidden Army soldiers poured out from the nearby streets and alleys, each holding weapons and rushing towards Yang Kuan's house. Judging from the menacing posture, it must have been premeditated, and it was definitely not a temporary gathering to cause trouble.

"Huashan Gong Yang Kuan had bad intentions and repeatedly warned the court that he wanted to use a certain class of Guanxi sons as military slaves to fill the towns and guard the cold wilderness, just like the story of the Six Towns! Soldiers and slaves were not allowed to choose the upper class, and all the officials and titles were high. Door occupied!”

The general who led the team had a ferocious look on his face and shouted loudly. When he rushed closer, he waved his sword unceremoniously and looked at the Yang family slaves.

Each of these slaves of the Yang family only carried simple sticks and sticks, and had no armor at all to defend themselves. They were suddenly attacked and killed by these heavily armed and battle-prepared soldiers of the imperial army. to the ground, or running for their lives in panic.

"Block all the doors of the Yang family and don't let go of Yang Kuan, the thief who persecutes warriors!"

After attacking and scattering Yang's family slaves on the street, these Forbidden Army soldiers refused to give up. Instead, they surrounded Yang Kuan's house, and then rushed into his house with weapons, and surrounded him. The people in the mansion were charged, killed and plundered.

At this time, Yang Kuan and Changsun Shaoyuan in the middle hall also realized that something was wrong. They jumped up from the seats and called for the servants to come in to protect them. At this time, the servants in the mansion were also forced back by the rebel soldiers. They planned to organize a counterattack in front of the central hall, but they were quickly killed by the rebel soldiers!

"Yang Kuan is here! I saw Yang Kuan, that thief, under the window!"

Someone pointed at Yang Kuan, who was being protected by a domestic slave and was running away to the side. He shouted excitedly, while waving weapons and charging towards him.

As for the eldest grandson Shaoyuan, although he was not the target of these troublemaking forbidden troops, he happened to appear at Yang Kuan's home by chance, and judging from his robes, he was also a high-ranking official. These soldiers who had been incited were full of hatred for those in power who wanted to oppress and frame them, and naturally they would not let them go. A large group of soldiers surrounded and killed them, and soon killed Changsun Shaoyuan. Get lost in the crowd!

When the troops stationed outside the city received orders to enter the city to quell the chaos, Yang Kuan's mansion had already been trampled into disgrace by the rebels, and his body was hung under the big tree in the courtyard, along with some family members who had no time to escape. The clan members were all dead or injured, and they were extremely miserable. As for the eldest son, Shaoyuan, he was stabbed dozens of times, his clothes were stripped off, and his body was randomly discarded under the corner.

After Yan Qing, who stayed in Chang'an, came here after hearing the news, he was also shocked by the disaster that Yang Kuan's family suffered. However, because the murder was committed by the Chang'an Liufang Forbidden Army, he did not dare to make a decision on disposal privately, and immediately ordered people to protect the scene. , do not allow other people to enter and destroy, and immediately send someone to notify Shayuan.

Soon the news that Yang Kuan's family and eldest grandson Shaoyuan were attacked and killed by the Chang'an Forbidden Army reached Shayuan. Emperor Tuoba Kuo and Taishi Yuwentai who stayed in Shayuan were also shocked when they learned about it. So he hurriedly returned to Chang'an city from the emperor's ceremony as fast as possible.

At this time, the atmosphere in Chang'an City was also extremely tense. Everyone in the city was in danger. They closed their homes and simply moved to other properties outside the city if they could. They did not dare to stay in the city. Especially the surviving members of the Hongnong Yang clan who were not affected by the riots were so frightened that they hurriedly left Chang'an for fear of being harmed again.

After Yu Wentai and his entourage returned to Chang'an, they did not even have time to escort the emperor back to the palace, but went directly to the murder scene where the Yang family's residence was located. Although all the rebels have now fled, the scene of Yang Kuan's house being in a mess and his family members suffering heavy casualties is still horrific.

"It's unreasonable, it's really unreasonable! Such a serious riot broke out in the capital. The murderer must be punished severely and revenge for Hua Shanggong and his family!"

After Emperor Tuoba Kuo saw the tragic situation in Yang's house, his face was livid with anger, he clenched his fists and kept talking.

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the leading general Wei Chigang next to him said: "Your Majesty is still young, and it is normal to know many human stories. This kind of chaos is not the first time. In the old years when the capital was Luoxia, there was a famous minister Qinghe Zhang Yi was arrogant due to his favor and looked down on the current generation. His son took advantage of being mean and reported to the court to cut off the favors of military personnel. He intended to select talents so that the military personnel would not be included in the Qing Dynasty. This aroused the resentment of Luoyang Yulin Forbidden Army. Revenge, several genocide!”

"Is this happening?"

When the emperor heard this, his eyes widened in surprise, and then he said with an ugly face: "But although Mr. Hua Shanggong has been diligent in writing recently, he has not said anything about the selection of the case, just..."

"The disaster that Zhang Yi and his son suffered was that they were mean and unruly by nature and did not value warriors. The old court dealt with this inappropriately, so that the disaster still existed, and eventually led to the catastrophe of the Beizhen Mutiny. The disaster has continued to this day, and the world is still not able to be praised. Governance. Mr. Hua Shanggong’s recent words and deeds may not be exactly the same as those of the old man, but the principle of pride causing disaster is the same!”

At this time, Yu Wentai also spoke: "If this matter is not properly handled and it causes another huge disaster and destabilizes our country, it will be too late! The officers and soldiers of the Forbidden Army who participated in the riot need to be severely punished as a warning." Follow the example, but the reasons for the riots must also be probed deeply, and we must not slack off!”

Seeing Yuwentai's expression and tone were so serious, the emperor was frightened and panicked, and could only nod his head repeatedly. The ministers who had arrived here were all silent at this moment, and they all bowed their heads and waited for Yu Wentai's order.

After sending the emperor's instrument back to the forbidden palace, Yuwentai personally presided over the investigation of the riot. Soon, the imperial army generals who participated in the rebellion were captured and brought to justice one after another. After their interrogation, it was learned that the reason why they launched a riot and besieged Yang Kuan's house was because Yang Kuan collaborated with the court officials and intended to guard the soldiers who went on the expedition as slave soldiers. The border areas prevent those soldiers from returning home, and they may inevitably end up in the same miserable situation as the soldiers in the six towns before.

The investigation of the case seemed to be clear at this point. Yu Wentai took these confessions and shouted angrily in the court meeting: "The war disaster in Beizhen is not far away, but you have forgotten it! Now the soldiers of all the prefectures are the main cities of our country. How can you be willful and enslaved?" Soldier slave! Huashang Gong Yang Kuan ignored the public opinion and proposed such an inappropriate strategy. He really harmed the country and himself, and he deserves it!

Since all the soldiers were sent by me, they should be called back by me. If anyone dares to blatantly obstruct the military aircraft and use my elite troops as slaves in the house, I will write to the elders of Guanxi and punish them for everyone! "

The lessons the Six Towns Mutiny brought to the world were so painful that the entire north has not been able to get out of this shadow to this day. When the place where the soldiers were stationed on the expedition was linked to the construction of a military town like the previous Beizhen, it naturally became a taboo topic that could not be discussed. Yang Kuan spent his life to show the world the consequences of proposing that the imperial troops be stationed abroad. Everyone in the court was awe-inspiring and did not dare to dwell on this topic again.

Looking at the silent people in the court, Yu Wentai secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Now he no longer dares to hope that he can completely solve the big problem of Jingzhou Military Mansion at once, so he can only focus on the big ones, let go of the small ones, and solve them first. The main contradiction, other issues will be discussed later.

This time, Yang Kuan killed the chickens and warned the monkeys, emphasizing the principle issue that a government soldier would never be stationed outside the customs for a long time. If Li Tai wanted to force tens of thousands of government soldiers to stay in the border, he would be annihilating himself.

In fact, if Li Xiao agreed to accept the title and serve as Shangshu Ling, this strategy would be more effective and would put the entire Longxi Li family on the opposite side of the soldiers and powerful men. But it is a pity that Li Xiao still insists on staying out of the current situation, leaving Yu Wentai without a handle.
