Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

When everyone heard what Gao Yan said, their faces suddenly became more and more ugly.

Naturally, they were embarrassed to blame Changshan King who was just here to help, and of course they did not have the courage. But taking such a big blame would really cost people their lives.

If it is said that the previous mutiny by the soldiers was fortunate that it did not cause any irremediable consequences, the court would definitely give him a lighter sentence even if he was held accountable. But now, even the prime minister has been beaten to death. Even if he is convicted of treason, it cannot be regarded as unjust!

"These camp soldiers are really bold. They only had a few days of food and supplies, but they dared to commit such a murderous act! Those perpetrators should be arrested quickly and severely punished to serve as a warning to others!"

After a while, a general spoke with indignation, directly placing the blame on the sergeants who beat Yang Min to death. Of course, this could not be considered as blame, because the situation was like this. They planned to punish the murderer severely first to avoid the court from doing so again. Was implicated during investigation.

This spirit of dying for a Taoist friend but not for a poor Taoist has been echoed and recognized by many people. However, at this moment, He Baren glared and shouted angrily: "Before, I led a team into the city to transport grain to the official warehouse. Do you want to wait too?" Will I be severely punished to set an example?"

Hearing He Baren's words, the several generals who had previously spoken in agreement all had scornful expressions on their faces. They may not have had such thoughts in their hearts, but they naturally did not dare to say it out loud. They could only lower their heads and say in a solemn voice: "Your Majesty. To put it seriously, the great honor of the great kingdom should not be punished lightly. It’s just that those tough soldiers are stubborn and unruly. If they are not severely punished, I don’t know how much trouble will happen!”

He Baren still glared and snorted: "But I don't see how stubborn those disciples are. I only see them being upright and upright. Because they saw that Pao Ze was hungry and thirsty, they did not hesitate to risk their lives to go into the city to find food. When they saw the obstruction Instead of retreating in fear, the enemy faced the difficulties. No matter who the opponent was, they all took the food and grass back to the camp to feed the troops! Such a heroic act can be called stubborn and requires aggravation. Punishment, what should you do with those who sit back and enjoy the success!"

"Taifu said it well! Yang Min was a prime minister who was cruel and unkind, without any regard for the overall situation. He abused the sergeants and withheld supplies. He really deserved death. Even if he killed them, what crime did the sergeants have? Should the guilty ones be disemboweled? Remove previously swallowed food?”

After hearing He Baren's protective words to the soldiers, there were many governors present who clapped their hands in praise and loudly echoed.

Although they were not sure what the specific situation was at that time, looking back on the miserable days of not having enough to eat and the deep resentment they had accumulated against Yang Min in their hearts, they felt that even if they were present at that time, they could not help but beat him to death. Yang Min vented his anger.

If we want to severely punish those sergeants who successfully transported food and grass to benefit the entire army, it will undoubtedly harm the righteous and be despised by others. Not to mention how they feel, even the sergeants in the battalions are afraid that they will not agree!

The opinions in the tent were divided into two groups, and as more and more people spoke up, the voices that believed that the sergeants were guilty became weaker and weaker. The vast majority of the governors felt that the sergeants who killed Yang Min were not wrong and should not be punished. Instead of punishing them, they need to be shielded and protected.

But although these voices are loud, there is one problem that cannot be solved, that is, what should the emperor and the court do if they investigate and investigate? Both parties in the dispute have a tacit understanding not to touch on this issue, but this issue obviously does not disappear without talking about it. After all, it still needs to be faced directly.

He Baren knew what King Changshan was thinking, so after leading the discussion in the tent to a certain level, he stood up and looked at Gao Yan and said: "It is indeed a bit reckless for the soldiers to accidentally kill Xianggong Yang, but there is a reason for it. If we heavily accuse and punish people because of this, it will inevitably chill the hearts of the people.

Your Majesty is willing to condescend to enter the camp today to relieve the worries and difficulties of the soldiers, which is really touching. Please also take charge of this matter now and don't give up halfway. Although there are many dignitaries in the court, only the king can truly sympathize with the soldiers and protect them righteously. If the king abandons it without asking, who will the soldiers look up to? "

No matter what opinions they held just now, all the generals in the tent nodded in agreement after hearing He Baren's words. They know that things are difficult to handle and they have no independent opinion, so they might as well obey the orders of wise men. What's more, King Changshan has a noble status, and the methods he can think of must be more comprehensive and clever than them.

Seeing that the crowd was in such a mood, Gao Yan asked in a deep voice: "Are you all willing to obey my orders? If you can't obey my orders and drag each other down, it's better to break up as soon as possible!"

"In order to overcome the current difficulties together, everyone is willing to obey the king's orders! A snake can't survive without a head. If any of the generals in the tent are greedy for personal gain or betray the king's orders, I will kill them with the king's staff!"

He Baren echoed loudly, and then he turned to look at everyone present and said, "Do you have any objection to this?"

"Everyone is willing to obey the king's orders, and those who disobey will die!"''

After hearing the words, everyone also responded one after another. Firstly, they themselves had no better way. Secondly, after experiencing everything today, they also felt a great sense of identification with King Changshan in their hearts.

After making an oath with everyone, Gao Yancai said seriously: "Although Yang Min's death today is regrettable, he died in a right way. I have given some advice a few days ago, but he relied on the Supreme confidant and was stubborn and insisted on his own way. , which led to a mutiny among the soldiers. After the incident, he still refused to show sympathy to his subordinates and refused to provide food and grass. It is difficult to punish him under the law of the country and to kill him justly!"

"Yang Min fought against justice and deserved to die!"

After hearing this, all the generals spoke in agreement. It doesn't matter whether this is right or wrong. What's important is that they need to do a good job in internal psychological construction and reach a unified opinion.

"The imperial government has been mismanaged in recent years, and Yang Min is not the only one! The reason why the previous war was invincible was mostly related to the government's misbehaving! Now that my group of disciples have killed Yang Min, how can we allow the remaining thieves to steal their lives and take revenge on our loyal ministers and patriots? Kill them? This is the day to correct the thief!"

After uniting the voices of the crowd, Gao Yan no longer just targeted Yang Min, but expanded his criticism to the entire court and even the emperor himself: "There are many evil people here who established the dynasty and deceived the holy listeners, so that it is difficult for the Supreme Being to hear his voice and refuse to speak. Then he became intimate with the soldiers and soldiers. The grace and power of the old saints gradually faded away, and he only played with the evil people and neglected state affairs, so the Qiang thieves from Wei State came up from behind and invaded our country.

Those who are causing chaos in our country are not from the border, but from the DPRK. If the internal traitors are not eliminated, the country will not be at peace! You generals, many of whom have the origins of my father and brother's meritorious service and entrepreneurship, can't you bear to see so many evil villains deceiving the Supreme Being and ruining your home and country? Only by rising up to kill the thieves, and then remonstrating with the emperor, begging the Supreme Being to cheer up and give importance to the warriors, then the traitors will not be afraid, nor the Qiang thieves, the family and the country will be forever stable, and the world will be enjoyed forever! "

This declaration was more or less shocking, but soon the generals were attracted by the prospects described by King Changshan, and they all shouted loudly: "Kill the thief and remonstrate, and Shi Zuo will enjoy it forever!" "

After this, Gao Yan has established a closer working relationship with the generals, and they have reached an alliance of interests. It can be said that they are both prosperous and prosperous.

There are more than 30,000 soldiers in various battalions here. Of course, there is no need to mobilize immediately. Gao Yan first made a bloody alliance with the generals present, and then ordered them to return to their respective camps to command and restrain their troops. At the same time, he ordered He Baren and other trustworthy people to travel among the camps and mobilize the elites of each camp to form a group. A mobile force of several thousand people is used to mobilize all parties and control the situation.

After Gao Yan took control of the military forces of the various camps, good news came from Yedu City. Hu Luguang and others also temporarily controlled the imperial army in the city, and also sent troops to control the palace city and the imperial city.

However, since there are already direct troops in the two cities, and these troops are currently not under the control of Santai Camp, if they want to invade by force, armed conflict will inevitably occur. It may be difficult to control the situation at this late night. So Hu Luguang just controlled the entrance and exit of the forbidden passage, and then sent people to ask Gao Yan for instructions on what to do next. Is it necessary to attack by force?

The armies outside and inside the city have been effectively controlled. This situation is very good for Gao Yan. In order to avoid any unexpected changes, the most appropriate way at the moment is of course to attack the palace defenses by force while there is still time before dawn. For a period of time, if the queen, prince and princes in the inner palace are all controlled, then at least in Yedu, it can be said to be in an invincible position.

Gao Yanfang was waiting for the order to let Hu Luguang storm the palace, but after a brief pause, he changed his mind slightly and did not choose to let Hu Luguang carry out the matter. Instead, he sent someone to the Changguang Palace to ask for active participation in the matter beforehand. Gao Zhan went there but was stunned.

"Go with my warrant. If King Changguang still refuses to take the risk and go, he will be arrested immediately!"

When he thought of this younger brother's fierce character, Gao Yan ordered again in a deep voice.

However, Gao Yan was overly worried about this. Although Gao Zhan was a little timid before, he was also in frequent contact with several clan members involved in the coup. Shortly after Gao Yuanhai persuaded Prince Gao Rui of Zhao County to hand over military power, he sent his soldiers to Changguang Palace to inform him of the matter.

Gao Zhan was just afraid of death, but when it came to causing trouble, he was absolutely unwilling to lag behind. When he learned that the Forbidden Army had been initially controlled and the situation was no longer as dangerous as it was at first, he immediately couldn't hold it back and couldn't wait for Gao Zhan to show off. When the order arrived, he, his confidants, Shikai and others put on their military uniforms and went out, heading towards the palace.
