Song Beiyun

"Hahaha." Bai Nian'an picked up the confession handed to him by his subordinates and read it: "In November of the first year of Shunde, I got a secret letter from my family. The emperor killed him."

After Bai Nian'an finished reading, he whistled jokingly: "General Pei, it seems that your elder brother trusts you less than you trust him. Well, General Pei, it's time to get on the road. For such things, the king of heaven will also protect you when I come. You are terrible. Come on, take it away!"

"I'm recruiting! I'm recruiting now! There are still many things about me that my brother doesn't know!"

"Oh?" Bai Nian'an turned the chair sideways, and straddled it: "Then tell me?"

And this kind of thing happens from time to time in interrogation rooms, large and small. Song Beiyun changed into a guard's outfit and came here with Zhao Xing. It felt like this place had never been filled with bright sunshine like it is today.

"The top level is the ally, and the bottom level is the reliance." Song Beiyun smiled as he followed Zhao Xing forward, "It's the one who can't get up and down, just kill it like a pig."

Zhao Xing looked inside through the small hole in the interrogation room. He had seen the person inside before. It was Tan Hualang from the year of Shunde. How could he still have the character of a scholar? Wagging their tails and begging for mercy at the puppies they once looked down on the most.

"These people are the so-called middle class." Xiao Song said with a sneer: "I can't go up to the sky, I can't go down to the ground, I hope to be able to do it right and wrong, so I can't be trusted or reliable. I don't have the courage to save the building and the belief in benevolence and poverty, but these people But holding most of the country's resources, you say you are angry or not, and these people are the natural allies of the gentry class and the lackeys of the powerful, so they can do whatever they want, escape and betray No.1."

Zhao Xing sneered, but put his hands behind his back: "Where is Bai Nian'an?"

Not long after, Bai Nian'an hurried over. After seeing Zhao and the people around him, his expression changed suddenly, and he greeted An with a serious face: "I didn't know the official was coming, but I couldn't greet him, so I ask the official to forgive me."

"No problem." Zhao Xing asked with a cold face, "How are these people doing?"

"The officials can't explain it clearly in a few words, so it's better... trouble the officials to look it over for themselves."

Bai Nian'an led Zhao Xing into the room, and the confessions were neatly placed on the table. After Zhao Xing sat down, Bai Nian'an closed the door from the outside and ordered people to strictly guard it, not allowing anyone to enter at will.

Zhao Xing picked up a confession and flipped through it, the more he looked at it, the more ugly his face became, so he put it down and picked up the second one, but it wasn't as good as the first one, Zhao Xing's face turned green and he trembled with anger stand up.

"Yo." Song Beiyun was also looking at it with a piece of paper, beeping while watching him: "If the emperor doesn't kill Song Dog, he can try his best to replace him. Look at it, it's a common trick! Set up a puppet The emperor, and then said that the first emperor died suddenly, my god...what a ruthless method."

Zhao Xing was already so angry that his hands and feet were cold. He slowly put the confession in his hand back on the table, but he sat there and refused to speak for a long time.

"You're angry?"

Song Beiyun asked with a smile.

Zhao Xing glanced at him angrily: "You tell me how not to be angry, they just don't take me seriously."

"Since when did they put the emperor in their eyes? What is the crime of adultery?"

Both Zhao and Song Beiyun looked at Yan Shu. Yan Shu was studying the confession, without even raising his head to think about it, he blurted out: "A man with [-] boards is [-] miles away, and a woman with [-] boards is forced to get his wife."

"That's right, death is not a crime. But go and drain the ponds in those clans to see how many bones are sunk below. The family law is greater than the country law, why do you make them think about the emperor?" Song Beiyun sat at the table leaning Up: "The law does not go down to the villages and towns, the mind does not enter the court, and the punishment does not go to the doctor. What a fart you are."

Zhao Xing smiled: "They really think I don't kill people."

"What should I do?" Xiao Song looked at Zhao Xing: "I can't make decisions for you, what do you think should be done?"

"kill!"

"What do you want to kill? You can kill it? At most, it's just like killing chickens to scare monkeys."

Zhao Xing became impatient: "If your mother farts, let it go!"

"Oh, why are you so angry?" Song Beiyun smiled and shook his fingers: "Win a group, suppress a group, promote a group, and obliterate a group. In my hometown, obedient dogs have bones to eat , Disobedient dogs are all stewed with fragrant meat. Ask them, who wants to eat bones."

"Don't you eat?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible." Song Beiyun waggled his fingers: "You didn't take what I said just now to heart. This group of middle class is the least reliable and the easiest to surrender. They don't have the determination and ability to die."

"This matter... you do?"

"You're crazy, aren't you? I'm their sworn enemy." After Song Beiyun finished speaking, he looked up at Yan Shu who was beside him.

And Zhao Xing also realized something, and looked up at Yan Shu.

"No way..." Yan Shu's buttocks tightened all of a sudden: "Me?"

"Anyway, you're a traitor to your class, so let's get some allies." Song Beiyun said with a smile, "As for how to operate, the best talent in the world is one stone, and Yan Shu has all the seven fights. I think it won't be difficult for you."

"You..." Yan Shu had a determined expression on his face, "You're going to kill me..."

"There is a problem here, which is the collusion between the officials and the gentry." Xiao Song added: "What they are good at is that the country gentry's money is returned in full, and the common people's money is divided equally. So the best thing to do is you. Top players in the officialdom, no matter whether they collect evidence or frame them, they will win a group and kill a group. Zhao Xing will always be that bad face, and the red face is our business."

After finishing speaking, Song Beiyun put one hand on the table: "The butcher's knife is finally about to be raised."

"Zhao Xing!" Zhao Xing took off his shoes and slapped the bottom of Song Beiyun's butt: "Let you Zhao Xing! Let you open your mouth and shut up Zhao Xing!"

Song Beiyun, who had been beaten up out of thin air, went out beeping Zhao Xing all the way, and from the moment they walked out, the New Year drama officially began.

The first step is the public trial meeting. The public trial is the most exciting part. Those who have not been tortured will be sent to the public trial. The location of the public trial has been selected and the notice has been posted.

Now the common people are as happy as Chinese New Year, after all there is excitement to watch, while those who get on good terms with these people on weekdays are like ants on a hot pot, terribly anxious.

The date of the public trial is just three days later. At that time, there will be a joint trial by the three ministries, and the charge will be disobedience and treason.

If it were not for Song Beiyun's arrangement, Jinling City might already be full of military disasters, but now there is no chance for mutiny, a lot of generals, large and small, have been controlled, and the establishment has also been reorganized and there are isolations such as political commissars Measures, now those soldiers are like headless chickens, they can only go out for training silently, as if what they said before is a boring fart that came from nowhere, and it is over.

It was too late to rebel, so they cried out for injustice, but the injustice was not in vain. The confession was all there, and there were no wounds on the body, so the injustice could not be justified.

Ministers at all levels are even more afraid that this matter will get involved with themselves. The supply of killers in the Jianghu has been in short supply these days, but many ministers have discovered a strange thing, that is, those aristocratic families who are more or less related to them on weekdays , Hao family, at this moment it seems to have disappeared out of thin air, no one is alive, no one is dead.

For officials at all levels, this is like eating a fly, because it is uncertain when it disappears. They don't know when and where they will suddenly appear and bite themselves. It's even more terrifying to confess.

Therefore, the person who used to jump most ferociously no longer jumped, and obediently listened to the arrangement of the court, not even talking back.

In fact, they don't know that those people are already in the wasteland outside the city, and the deepest one can be as much as two or three feet.

But it is precisely because they don't know that they are so obedient now, even Zhao Xing can't believe what he saw, these people are so obedient... Originally, Zhao Xing farted in the court and they all wanted to express this fart unreasonable, and now they vote yes all the way through.

"Song Beiyun, that bastard... is so good at playing with people."

Zhao Xing took a deep breath, muttered something to himself, stood up, and walked down the hall with a serious expression, carrying a confession: "Come on, all my lovers, take a look and see what's going on under your noses!"

Chapter 667: Sunny September 2, Six Years

Shunde two years, the beginning of the year.

The palace does not open for morning court for seven days, not for other reasons but for a shocking case.

Before Song Beiyun's turmoil subsides, big cases of coercion and treason came one after another. Seven senior generals in the city defense army participated in the rebellion, as many as five cabinet ministers, and more than a hundred lower-level officials and generals were involved in the rebellion.

All of a sudden, Jinling City was full of turmoil and war, and the city defense was stricter than ever, and the entry and exit of personnel were strictly restricted.

"It's called Qing Junfang, but it's actually a rebellion!"

Zhao Xing was furious in the hall, his voice was loud and hoarse, he pointed his finger at the officials of His Highness: "They are all bastards, I usually regard them as my subjects, but today they are deliberately trying to force me to abdicate! Absurd! absurd!!!"

The people below still dare to speak, although many people are very surprised, why this imperial city secretary has never moved in the past, but now arresting people is accurate, and those people actually confessed honestly.

And because the trouble was so serious, even the public trial link that was announced had to be postponed.

Many people were arrested. The prisons of the Imperial City Division, the Ministry of Punishment, and Dali Temple were full of people. These people were either directly arrested or were arrested after being confessed by the previous arresters. After the arrest, more people were naturally confessed.

The ministers were flustered. Since ancient times, treason has always been a matter of killing mistakes and not letting them go. If those people say some names indiscriminately, they will eventually be killed. It’s okay if they can prove their innocence. To be buried with someone.

"What did I do wrong, you just say it, why is this? Why is this!" Zhao Xing angrily beat his chest after scolding: "The talents who have worked so hard for the court are killed like this, my heart aches ah!"

"Officials, please calm down." Lao Ding lowered his head and took a step forward: "According to the results of the three trials, most of these people are partisans of the southern gentry."

"What's the difference between the north and the south! It's this time, what are you going to divide between the north and the south!" Zhao Xing supported the dragon case with one hand, turned around and said violently: "Isn't that messy enough? Do you really want me to say it? The Pei family in Longxi, The Li family, the Yu family, the Huang family and the Zhou family in Shanxi, are they all from the south? Is it because they divided the north and south families into southern gentry?"

Zhao Xing raised the pen container in his hand and threw it to the ground, turned around and blushed loudly and said, "Not a single good thing! Just because I want to reform, they want to treat me like this?"

The ministers below still didn't dare to speak. In fact, they are all human beings. Why did they kill Song Beiyun?To put it bluntly, no one wants to bear the title of regicide, and wants to wake up Zhao Xing by killing Song Beiyun.

But who knew that Song Beiyun... was really an evildoer. Even those who were not involved in this matter felt that every step of Song Beiyun's steps was appropriate and beneficial.

Before he came, the Chang'an army arrived, catching everyone by surprise.First of all, outside the city of Chen Bing of the Chang'an Army, Duke Dingguo decided to gather the power of the generals, and then divide the troops without saying a word, and easily resolved the most core and most dangerous parts.

The second trick is to cause a shock in Jinling's public opinion, kidnapping thousands of students to force the palace together, following the path of the gentry group but leaving the opponent with nowhere to go, which completely disrupts the pace of the gentry group.

While doing these things, the Imperial City Secretary also dispatched a large number of core figures to arrest such a secret matter, which Song Beiyun knew clearly.What does this mean?This shows that his mother's gentry from all over the world has been planted by him, and his every move is under surveillance!Moreover, the status of these eyeliners among those gentry is definitely not low, so that when the news spreads, the first thing the gentry do is to check themselves, which greatly delays their reaction speed, and can make them to a certain extent Differentiate from within.

As for the third trick, Song Beiyun is still subtle, that is to let the Liao Kingdom station troops on the border, and use external pressure to suppress the country from acting rashly. A large number of frontier troops gather at the border, which greatly reduces the possibility of mutiny and saves his own life.

This is not a monster, what is this?Looking at it now, his heart-pounding speech was actually just a cover-up, all to cover up his private actions.If he didn't guess wrong, the next step would be to lure some of the gentry groups to surrender.

Wonderful!It's really wonderful!After playing the chess step by step, it is amazing to look back everywhere. How can a person in his 20s do this?There are old foxes who are five or sixty years old everywhere, but those who can do this kind of subtlety are rare, or there are none at all.

This really played the vertical and horizontal technique to the extreme. All the smart people in the world seemed to have become idiots in front of him, playing with the world in the palm of his hand.

And the last person who was so monstrous was Zhuge Wolong in Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Oh... By the way, Zhuge Wolong also came from the works of Song Beiyun.

Now that the power is rapidly gathered in the hands of the reformers headed by the emperor, the conservatives have no one to join forces, because the conservatives rebelled, and whoever stays in the conservatives is the same as writing the four characters "rebellious ministers and thieves" on their chests ?Who is responsible for this crime?

"What I want is a kingly paradise, and what I want is long-term peace and order. But what about them? If that's the case..." Zhao Xing said, and sat down on the dragon chair: "Then don't blame me."

At the same time, within the Imperial City Division, although Song Beiyun could not show his true face, it did not prevent him from working here.

Bai Nian'an reported to him from the side. The list alone has more than ten pages. There are thousands of people. If the nine clans are included, there may be tens of thousands of people.

"There's no need to even sit down." Song Beiyun shook his head and said, "Go and remember one thing, you are representing the Tian family. Any resistance is a rebellion. I will give you an army at that time. You just need to confiscate your property and arrest the leader. Yes. Those local chickens and dogs are not good enough, and they were arrested and charged with indiscriminate killing."

"clear."

Bai Nian'an's breathing became short of breath. When had he ever carried out such an important task? Even if he led Bai Lian to cause chaos before, there were only a few hundred people, but now his subordinates are about to expand to 3 people. When he went out, there would be turmoil wherever he went, and Song Beiyun's words gave him great power regardless of whether he was a chicken or a dog. People who are not very important naturally know what to do, so when he comes back this time, he will be wealthy.

Even if most of them had to be given away, the rest could still be squandered in his lifetimes.And he clearly knew that this was a bonus that Song Beiyun gave him, a bonus for participating in this gamble, and it could be regarded as money in exchange for his life.

Of course, those who participated in the big gamble this time will be rewarded, because right now, if they win at this stage, they should get a dividend.A person like Bai Nian'an is only worthy of money, because he is not enough for political dividends.And those reformist ministers, after this time, I am afraid that what they get after this time is not just as simple as money.

But to say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing is actually hard to say, just like Song Beiyun can kill the gentry, Song Beiyun, as the representative of the imperial power, absolutely does not allow any one person or group to have more power than the central royal court.

Bai Nian'an sweated in his heart, but generally speaking, he got more than he gave, and it was worth it to him.

Looking at Song Beiyun who was sitting there frowning and looking at the materials, Bai Nian'an realized for the first time how terrifying this person known as Emperor Ye was, even the emperor was listening to his arrangements...

A person who can make the emperor obey the arrangement and believe in it, never doubt his ability, just listen to his words and implement, and then accept it as soon as it is good, and wealth and honor for a lifetime will be at your fingertips.

"Do you have any other questions?"

"No more." Bai Nian'an shook his head and said, "Master Song, you have worked hard this time."

"It's hard work, who doesn't work hard." Song Beiyun muttered in a low voice, "But there's nothing you can do about it. If this thing doesn't advance, it will retreat. If it loses, it will run away."

After he finished muttering, he suddenly raised his head: "It hasn't been completely successful yet, and there will still be several repetitions in the future. So you must make long-term preparations. The 3 people will be transferred from the imperial army in a few days, and you will no longer be There are people from the Imperial City Department, and a new department called the National Security Department will be established at that time. From now on, your responsibility will be to control domestic rebellions and riots. The ugly thing is that if there is a rebellion somewhere, you have not received it. First-hand information cannot prevent problems before they happen, so I have to ask you, this is a job with your head in your crotch, can you do it? If you can’t do it, tell me early, I can change people, don’t say goodbye to me when the time comes Give you a chance."

"Yes!" Bai Nian'an nodded heavily: "I will definitely not disgrace my life!"

"Let's get started." Song Beiyun raised his hand: "The public trial is coming soon, so get ready. Invite the whole city to come and see the beheading."

Beheading has been a very interesting thing since ancient times, and the people love it the most. They don't care whether it's good or bad, they just find it exciting and novel, let alone these rebels.

Moreover, these rebels are all those high-ranking and domineering people on weekdays. In the past, they were all lords and lords who yelled shortly. There is no place to complain.

But during the public trial today, those "lords" were kneeling, with a wooden sign stuck behind their necks, on which was written the conspirators XXX, and the officials above were reading out their crimes.

What a happy thing this is. After hearing about their crimes, the common people wished to eat their flesh alive, but after hearing about their execution, no matter how much those people wailed and cried bitterly, they were all drowned in the eyes of the vast number of people. Among the cheers.

The people in the whole city were like a carnival. They beat gongs and drums to send these plague gods away from the world.

Hundreds of death row prisoners were lined up there, and Song Beiyun's evil taste was also activated at this moment. He asked the people to choose how these people should die, whether it was shot or beheaded, it didn't matter.

"That, did you see that? That, that's my boss. This guy is not human anymore, he is a bully, he looks like a scholar, and he usually does a lot of nasty things." A servant dressed A man in the crowd said to the side: "A few years ago, there was a little Fang in the house, who was spoiled by this beast and became pregnant. Later, the mother-in-law of the beast smothered Xiaofang to death in a bucket. Go to the government and say that she died in childbirth. This group of people deserves to die!"

"Stop talking nonsense. After stamping your fingerprints, you will be shot or beheaded."

The boy stretched out his head and took a look: "It must be shot, it's not like I haven't seen beheading before."

"Jing Chui, when have you seen it?"

"Don't worry about it, I want to watch the gun fight!"

The fifty handprints were quickly completed, and the first prisoner was shot. When the soldiers dragged the man aside and took off the board, the once mighty "master" had already urinated all over the floor, emitting a foul smell. .

The bullet was loaded in the back of his head, and with a bang, his head exploded like a watermelon falling to the ground.

The people who were still happy at the beginning saw the sound of vomiting, which was mixed with the sound of ridicule, which was very lively.

"it is good!"

Suddenly, someone in the crowd yelled hello, and then everyone yelled hello, even those who vomited after recovering their senses also yelled hello, everyone was happy, as if they were not Looking at the execution is like watching the slaughter of pigs at the New Year.

Some scholars criticized such behavior as being too cruel and not worthy of the name of Great Song Renyi, but soon he would be criticized as useless by the newspapers.Da Song is benevolent, but these people are not benevolent, and the rules can only control good people.

More than a hundred people, from the public trial to the execution, from dawn to dusk, the idlers in the city have had enough of their addiction, but now no one dares to speak out for these people, because everyone knows that they lost, and they lost terribly.

From ancient times to the present, only the winner and the loser have never changed. If they win, there will be a group of people kneeling here, and that group of people is the group of people who plead for the people.

The common people may not be very smart, but they have a measure in their hearts. Just like what Song Beiyun said, even a dog knows who treats it well, let alone a human.

Zhao Xing is a Mingjun, and Song Beiyun is a virtuous minister. Although this virtuous minister's reputation is a bit stinky, but now that he thinks about it, he is only a bit lustful and greedy for money, but what he does is for the country and the people.

"Song Beiyun is a good man." A scholar who was born as a bastard supported the big tree next to him and looked at the execution ground and said to his companion, "It's a pity that he can only be in prison now."
