I'm really not the carpenter emperor
Page 178
Yu Ren knew that such a day would come when he decided to follow Zhu Guobi in rebellion, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.
In a day's work, Emperor Tianqi knew that Zhu Guobi was going to rebel, and then the brave guard camp entered the city, and the inner imperial city of Nanjing was under martial law.
The imperial court has already taken action, so Yu Ren naturally can't wait to die.
He tremblingly crossed the fairy bridge with his cronies, and came to the top of the Xiaoling Mausoleum. Looking at the lifelike stone statues of Wen, Wu and a fierce beast, he secretly swallowed his saliva, forced a sneer, and said:
"Xiaoling Wonderland, I don't think it's any different from ordinary places."
"Zhu Yuanzhang, it's not that I, Yu Ren, intend to dig your grave. I really don't have any money. Borrow some money and go to the barbarians outside the customs to seek a future!"
"dig--!"
He said a few words to himself, and then gave an order.
The order was issued, but the cronies all stood where they were, and none of them dared to move first.
"What are you doing, digging!"
Yu Ren kicked a person away, dodged the shovel in his hand, gestured and said: "The entrance to the underground palace is here, just dig down from here!"
The voice fell to the ground, and there was a ghostly silence around.
After a while, the confidant who was kicked away seemed to have heard something. He was about [-] years old, but he was frightened like a child, his face was pale, he knelt on the ground, kowtowed and shouted:
"Grandfather Taizu, it's not that the little ones want to cross the fairy bridge."
"Your old man has a grievance, a head and a debtor. Don't take your anger out on the villain. The villain has old and young, and has guarded your mausoleum for generations. There is hard work even if there is no credit..."
"What are you talking about?"
Yu Ren's eyes widened, he drew his waist knife and put it on his neck, and said angrily: "Zhu Yuanzhang is dead, he has been dead for hundreds of years!"
"A dead person, what are you afraid of?"
To put it bluntly, even beheading a head, Yu Rencai persuaded these cronies who were usually brave and ruthless to start digging the tomb.
However, the ideal is full, and the reality is skinny.
After digging for a few quarters of an hour, they stared at each other, seeing that the whole piece of bluestone slab underneath could not be touched. This thing does not require a lot of manpower, and it cannot be pried open at all!
Yu Ren knelt down and touched the bluestone slab, which was as brilliant as jade, and he sighed secretly when he saw that the name and hometown of the stonemason who was in charge of carving at that time were engraved on it.
Lao Tzu has been the commander of the Xiaoling Guards for more than ten years, and the Yu family has also guarded the tomb of the old Zhu family for more than 200 years since the Yongle period.
It still seems to be under-considered.
There are only a few people in Zhu Yuanzhang's Xiaoling Underground Palace. Even if they dig for a few days and nights, they may not be able to pry the slightest bit.
"What should we do now?"
A confidant stepped forward, always feeling that it was chilly here, and persuaded: "I think, let's not stay in the fairyland, and we won't be able to pry it open."
Yu Ren is not afraid, life and death are at stake, he has nothing to fear.
Even if he was asked to dig up their Yu family's ancestral grave now, Yu Ren did not hesitate, but the problem was that there was nothing valuable in their ancestral grave except for mummified corpses.
"There are many villages under Zijin Mountain, go and grab them!"
Yu Ren thought for a while, then suddenly stood up, threw the shovel, got on his horse, and ordered: "There is no need to delay, we will leave Xiaoling tonight."
"Go around the mountain, grab some food and silver, and then go to Shandong in disguise!"
After all, Xiaolingwei is a descendant of nobles who have been the leader of Zijin Mountain for hundreds of years, and the current group is still the cronies cultivated by Yu Ren who has been in charge of the family.
In addition to the waist knife and armor, there is still one man and one horse, which is more complete than most of the guerrilla generals and the servants of the generals.
Although everyone is subordinate, moving Xiaoling is a serious crime after all. If Emperor Tianqi knows, he will inevitably blame himself.
What's more, the Yu family has taken good care of their families for a long time, and they have a deep relationship with each other. Now that they have done it, they have to run away together and find another way out.
As long as you risk your life and get out of the customs, there will be another world!
After discussing for a while, there was nothing to say. They followed Yu Ren and galloped all the way. When he got off the horse, Yu Ren looked at the dark night around him and stopped vigilantly.
"No, there are still a few households living near Xiamafang, why is it so quiet tonight?"
As soon as the words were finished, there was a sudden commotion all around, from Xiamafang to the east, west and south, there were continuous flames and the sound of hooves.
"Yu Ren, I have been waiting for you here for a long time!"
Through the firelight, Liu Yuanbin's mocking face appeared in front of everyone in Xiaolingwei. Seeing him wearing armor, the rebels all looked ugly.
Obviously, the one in front of him is at least the guerrilla general of the Yongwei Battalion.
"Chen Shuai knew that you were going to escape, and he must pass by Xiamafang, so he just waited here, but he didn't expect you to come tonight."
Liu Yuanbin sneered: "Shuai Chen is really right. This Xiaoling Mausoleum occupies a large area. If you hide in it, it will be difficult to deal with it. In this case, it is just a good time to catch them all."
"What else do you have to say?"
Yu Ren rode on the horse, holding the waist knife tightly, his expression dark and ugly:
"I, Yu Ren, is responsible for everything. I just ask you to intercede with His Majesty, and forgive my brothers from their crimes. They will not deserve to die!"
Hearing this, Liu Yuanbin seemed to have heard some big joke.
"Emperor Chengzu let you guard the mausoleum of the Yu clan for generations, that is a great gift from heaven!"
"Since you became the commander, the people down the mountain have been oppressed by you year after year. They have suffered unspeakably, and their armaments have been depleted even worse than the local guards. Now you still have the face to say such things?"
Liu Yuanbin held the rein in one hand, took a few steps forward, and shouted:
"Your Majesty has already made a decree that thousands of guards of the Xiaoling Mausoleum will guard the Mausoleum for generations if they do not join in the rebellion."
As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice:
"Conspiracy to commit treason, desecrate Taizu's holy tomb, Yu Ren, even if you are killed or injured a thousand times, ten thousand times, it is not enough to atone for your sin!"
"You family members of the traitors will have to atone for you, and none of you will survive!"
The voice fell to the ground, and a scream came through the air.
Liu Yuanbin turned sideways subconsciously, almost being shot directly, but luckily only scratched his cheek, and immediately became furious.
"Kill, leave none!"
Yu Rengou jumped over the wall anxiously, sneered endlessly, took out the crossbow bolt he had hidden long ago from his sleeve, and shot at him twice again.
This time he was not so lucky, Liu Yuanbin was hit by an arrow in his left arm, and Gucai was slightly injured, so he had to retreat to the back of the formation clutching his wound.
Seeing this, the surrounding cavalrymen of the Yongwei Battalion raised their three-eyed blunderbusses and pointed them at the Xiaolingwei rebels in the middle, firing a burst of blunderbusses.
Before the gunpowder smoke cleared, the cavalry of the Yongwei Battalion rushed up madly accompanied by billowing smoke and dust.
Chapter 288 The Emperor is a Good Emperor
Half an hour later, the night became darker, and there was a vast expanse of grass in the Zijin Mountain.
Xiaolingwei's relatives' residence was so quiet that even the chirping of cicadas could be heard clearly.
Stars of fire gradually appeared in the distance, under the dark night sky, smoke and dust billowed, and flags covered the sky, Liu Yuanbin gritted his teeth, covered the wound on his left arm, and held the reins tightly.
In the distance, a group of sentry cavalry galloped back, and the leader got off the horse and reported:
"Report to the general, half a mile away is the residence of Xiaolingwei's relatives. We have surrounded this place on all sides. If one person is leaked, the subordinates ask to be dismissed!"
Liu Yuanbin was taken aback for a moment, then sneered.
The next moment, in the darkness all around, officers and soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion rushed out and directly broke into the village where the relatives of Xiaolingwei were stationed.
They kicked open the door, no matter men, women or children, just like animals, they took everyone out one by one and placed them on the square.
On the square, an officer was holding a list in his hand, and asked the names of these relatives of Xiaolingwei one by one.
"what is it call?"
The man in his 40s who was being questioned was stunned for a moment, begging for mercy and crying softly.
The officer of the brave guard battalion in front of him obviously had no patience, he grabbed his clothes and lifted him up, staring round eyes and asking loudly:
"I'll ask again, what's your name and where is your origin?"
The man trembled all over, kowtowed and said: "Master Liu, the villain Liu Neng, his ancestors were from Huaiyou Shuzhou. During the Yongle period, he moved here with the army to guard the mausoleum."
"Master Jun, the villain doesn't know anything..."
The officer gave a faint "hmm", walked up to the next relative side by side, and asked blankly, "What about you, what's your name, and where is your origin?"
Seeing that the person before him was fine, the person behind him obviously calmed down a lot, nodded and bowed his head and said: "Young Zhao Er, his ancestor went to Haozhou, and he also came to Zijin Mountain with the army during the Yongle period to guard the mausoleum of the Taizu Emperor."
The officer of the Yongwei Battalion was taken aback for a moment, and then waved his hand.
"Pull it down and cut it off."
This kind of change obviously made the Haozhou man named Zhao Er dissatisfied. He struggled frantically and shouted loudly, but it was useless.
Soon, the screams stopped abruptly.
This part of Liu Yuanbin has other places to go, and no one has the time to sympathize with the families of the rebels who participated in the rebellion.
Of course, when faced with those ignorant and ignorant children, perhaps this group of murderous men will have some regrets.
But that's about it.
Rebels are rebels after all, no one will question the emperor's decision, if you want to blame, blame their greedy family members for letting them lose their lives so easily at such a young age.
As for explaining to them, it is a waste of time, anyway, they will be dead before long.
At this moment, after the officer questioned, he found that the girl in front of him was only a teenager, her eyes were full of innocence, and her heart softened.
Just as he was about to speak, he found Liu Yuanbin coming to him. He quickly turned around, clasped his fists and saluted and said:
"General."
Liu Yuanbin nodded, then waved the officer down, leaned over and hugged the girl with tears in her eyes, stroked her hair, and said softly:
"Uncle wants to play a game with you. Wait a minute, you will suddenly have a neck pain, and then you will no longer feel it. Do you want to try it?"
The little girl blinked at Liu Yuanbin. She was a little scared at first, but when she heard that she was going to play a game, she quickly nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
Liu Yuanbin's eyes turned sore, he hugged the little girl tightly, stroked her hair with his hand, and said softly: "Hey, close your eyes, the game is about to begin."
The little girl closed her eyes obediently, with the corners of her mouth curled up, a smile on her face.
Liu Yuanbin gently put her down, couldn't bear to look any longer, turned around, and waved her hand.
With a click, the little girl fell into a pool of blood with a smile without saying a word. Liu Yuanbin turned around and saw her, the corners of her mouth trembling constantly.
Dozens of family members of the rebels were all picked out and beheaded. Many soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion stood quietly on both sides, waiting for the command of the chief.
But Liu Yuanbin, the brave general who was not afraid of death in the Southwest War, the world-renowned cavalry officer of the Yongwei Battalion, couldn't even pronounce a single syllable.
He sat on the ground, staring blankly at the little girl's body with a different head, suddenly he shook, climbed forward, and picked up the windmill that the little girl was holding tightly in her hand.
After a while, he held the windmill tightly again, got up and mounted the horse, regained his heroic spirit, and said loudly:
"The whole team, go to the Xiaolingwei Barracks!"
He can no longer allow such a tragedy to happen to any family. As long as the thousands of Xiaoling guards stationed there are attached to the imperial court, those who are still alive will not die.
……
Yu Ren was put to death, and none of his relatives remained.
Hearing this news, the thousands of officers and soldiers of Xiaolingwei Army Camp all panicked and ran around in the garrison, neither escaping nor resisting.
Now their identities are too embarrassing. If the imperial court punishes them as anti-thief crimes, none of the thousands of them, including the tens of thousands of relatives, will survive.
Since ancient times, rebellion has not been a trivial matter.
"Rumble..."
Not long after, footsteps came from outside the camp.
The people on the watchtower panicked and ran down, shouting among the crowd: "The Yongwei Battalion is here, and the Yongwei Battalion has ordered to kill us!"
Yu Ren was already dead, and even dozens of senior officers of the Xiaoling Guard died in Xiamafang. The most important of these people was just a small commander.
This commander is usually pushed aside by Yu Ren's cronies, and has no real power at all. Now, at this time, he has become the backbone of everyone.
"Wu Qian's matter, the Yongwei Battalion is about to come in, you have an idea!"
"Yeah, we can't stand and wait to die!"
"It's really not good, let's fight, even if you die, it's better than waiting to die like this!"
