Chapter 1273 Those who deserve to die don’t die, and those who don’t deserve to die all die

The sound of artillery bombardment continued, and there were multiple bombardments, which made the already hot Chang’an city seem noisy.

At the beginning, the people thought that a disaster was coming, and they were so panicked that they wanted to bury their heads in the ground to feel safe.

However, panic is something that requires an adaptation process.

When the bad people and bad leaders who stood on the wall of the square and risked their lives to be on guard suddenly found that the shells basically flew into the houses of the high-walled courtyards, they immediately thought that this terrifying bombardment had nothing to do with the people.

After the bad people took off their leather armor, put away their swords, and put away all the weapons used to kill the enemy, such as spears and crossbows, the smarter people knew that the bombardment had nothing to do with themselves, who earned a hundred coins a day.

So, some people who were interested in doing good things hid far away and started to watch the excitement.

When there were people watching the excitement, there were smarter people who did some small businesses such as eating in crowded places, which led to more people coming out to watch the excitement.

It was not until the ward and the village head found that only the people in the big houses were unlucky that they opened the gates and allowed the people to enter and exit. After all, they still had to eat. Many people would not have food if they did not work or do business today.

So, after noon, a strange scene appeared in Chang'an City. On one side, the walls and houses collapsed due to artillery bombardment, and the wealthy families were desperate to survive. On the other side, the sound of hawking was endless and people were coming and going in the market.

These two scenes were clearly distinguished, and they did not seem to be people living in the same area.

In fact, the people of Chang'an have been accustomed to it. Since Li Tang ascended the throne, there have been too many bloody incidents in this city. However, fortunately, these bloody incidents did not affect the people much.

During the Xuanwu Gate Incident, tens of thousands of soldiers killed each other with blood flowing in the streets. No less than 30,000 people died that night. Basically, they were all members of the gentry. It did not have much impact on the common people. It was just that Chang'an was more attractive to flies in the summer of that year.

Later, the crown prince Chengqian and his father-in-law Hou Junji rebelled together, and the situation was also very chaotic. However, most of the casualties were soldiers and nobles. Even some markets suffered from fire disasters, which were eventually put out by the generals of the fire patrol. Overall, the loss was not great.

Next, we have to count the recent tragedy in the imperial city. However, the gates of the imperial city were tightly closed, and killing people in circles inside did not have much to do with the people of Chang'an.

The above are just some major events. Small and medium-sized murders and riots are not surprising in Chang'an. There are always some small families who rely on their own private soldiers and are unwilling to stretch their necks to be beheaded by the emperor. Small-scale wars are almost commonplace in Chang'an.

The people of Chang'an, who have always had rich experience in watching the excitement, have long been immune to such things, which is why they can restore calm after a short period of panic.

It's just that you need to avoid the sound of artillery fire when shouting your own business.

This is the confidence of the people of Chang'an. They are sure that even if the Tang Dynasty changes after this bombardment, it has little to do with them. No matter who becomes the emperor, the harsh tax collector who comes to the store to collect taxes tomorrow will definitely be the same.

Yun Chu played the whole day in the Wannian County government office.

When he was the first to play the last card in his hand, cheers broke out.

At this moment, the Wannian County government office was so crowded that it was difficult to find a place to stay. It seemed that all the wealthy families in Chang'an came to the county office. They were obviously scared to death, but their faces were full of flattering smiles.

Yun Chu looked back at the dusty Wu Chengsi, and finally set his eyes on the fat baby in his arms. The child was brave. There were so many people, and he didn't know how to be afraid. He slept peacefully in Wu Chengsi's bed.

Wu Sansi had a bandage on his head, and the blood on his face had not been wiped clean. One of his hands was still hanging by his side, and it looked like it was dislocated... This was Yun Chu's fault. When he had nothing to do before, Yun Chu often dislocated Wu Sansi's arm, causing him to have this old problem of habitual dislocation from time to time.

Yun Chu stood up and reconnected Wu Sansi's arm, and then said to Wu Chengsi: "Why did you bring the child to work? Where is the child's mother?"

Wu Chengsi forced a difficult smile and said: "The house collapsed and he didn't survive."

Yun Chu waved his hand and said: "Take the child to my official residence to rest for a while. Your official residence may not be safe."

Wu Chengsi shook his head and said: "I will serve you."

Yun Chu waved his hand and said: "Okay, let the errand boy recruit a nanny for the child. If you don't eat or drink, the child can't stand it. Just rest in my official residence. I don't believe that He Chun, the great governor, dares to fire at the Wannian County government office."

Ji Wangshen, who was sitting opposite Yun Chu, sighed and said : "Yong Wangxian's mansion has become a ruin."

Cao Wangming, who followed Ji Wangshen, followed up and said: "The Princess Taiping's mansion with carved beams and painted buildings has also become charcoal."

"The mansion of the Imperial Censor Huang Yuzhong collapsed, and less than ten people escaped from the mansion."

"Princess Pu'an was directly hit by a shell and turned into dust."

??????55.??????

"Duke Dou's mansion was in flames. The remaining people in the mansion wanted to escape, but they couldn't open the door. In the end, they were burned to death. Yun Hou, I just want to ask, why did the fire patrol not only not put out the fire, but instead used a water truck to water the roofs of the neighbors? What's the meaning?"

"Also, although there are rebels in my Ashina clan, all those rebels have been wiped out. Why are all the Ashina clan's mansions being bombarded this time?

Marquis Yun, now you are staying in Chang'an, and you need to give me an explanation. "

Yunchu turned around and looked at the angry-looking Yinqing Guanglu doctor Shi Renji and said: "Your father Shi Danai, your brother Shi Renbiao, one is a Yuan Cong of Taiyuan and an old minister of the Xifu, and the other is the princess's consort and captain, they can all be considered. An important minister of the country and a confidant of His Majesty.

This time Princess Pu'an's Mansion was razed to the ground by artillery, and Dou Guogong's Mansion was even bombarded, causing a huge fire and annihilating the entire family.

You and I both know who did this.

Your Majesty cannot be at fault. Therefore, you should look for faults in yourself, see what you did wrong, and then go to His Majesty to apologize. Do you think I did the right thing? "

Shi Renji's eyes almost burst out with flames, but there was nothing he could do to face Yun Chu, because what Yun Chu said was not wrong at all. The emperor could not be wrong, and they were the only ones who were wrong.

After leaving Shi Renji speechless, Yun Chuyou said to brother Wu Chengsi: "This principle also applies to you. After being bombarded, if Your Majesty does not mention this matter, you brothers should completely forget about it. "

After that, he raised his hand to tease the little hand of the baby in Wu Chengsi's arms and said, "Don't tell him the cause of his mother's death."

Wu Chengsi smiled miserably and said: "Not counting the Wu clan members, there are no less than a hundred guests in the hall..."

Yun Chu looked at the safe sign tied around the child's neck and said, "I warned you."

Wu Chengsi choked up and said, "I thought it was more than that."

Yun Chu seemed to be saying it to the Wu brothers, and also seemed to be saying it to everyone around him.

"No one is irreplaceable, no one is so important that it is indispensable. Don't be too proud, and don't be too self-righteous. From the moment you go against His Majesty's wishes and enter the second workshop to rush to see, study, and cast cannons, Your Majesty no longer exists in your eyes.

You don't have His Majesty in your eyes, and you still covet artillery despite His Majesty's repeated orders. So, today, His Majesty takes your lives without telling anyone. No one should feel wronged.

This is very fair.

Today, it is estimated that everyone does not dare to go back to live in the mansion, so you will stay at the county office for a day and wait for the artillery to evacuate Chang'an before you go home. If my prediction is correct, the end of the artillery bombardment will herald the leak of the artillery secrets. It's over. "

After saying this, Yun Chu saw that it was getting late and it was time for him to get off work, so he left the Wannian County Office and rode his black horse with Yin Erhu to go home.

When passing by Chang'an Station, I found that the station had completely turned into a pile of ruins. There were many fire patrol generals and bad guys searching for anyone who might be alive in the ruins.

However, seeing a few people from Baiqisi in the search crowd, Yun Chu believed that it would be impossible for those bad guys and the people from the Fire Patrol Shop to find survivors today.

So, he came to the ruins and called a bad commander to come over and said: "If you find any of the officials, servants and servants of the post station alive, let him live."

The bad commander said softly: "Your Majesty, our people have run away long ago."

Yun Chu said in surprise: "Do they know that the inn will be bombarded?"

The bad handsome man shook his head and said: "I don't know, but since Baiqisi's people appeared near the post station, Yi Cheng gave 80% of the workers a holiday. After the house in the south of the city was bombarded, Yi Cheng took the province The guy below ran away."

When Yunchu heard what the bad handsome man said, he said to Baiqisi's spies who came over: "Search carefully and don't let any of them go."

When he got home, Fei Jiu had already prepared bath water, and also put fresh fruits and warm tea in the bathhouse.

Yun Chu jumped into the pool and lurked in the water for a long time before he emerged and gasped for air. At the same time, a human head emerged from the pool next to him.

Yunchu took a towel and wrapped it around his waist, and said to Taiping, whose face was stained with water, "You are really too presumptuous."

Taiping looked up at Yun Chu with his pink face and said, "Little Bird is always worried that I have a crush on Yun Jin. What he doesn't know is that the only person I have a crush on is Junhou."

The clear water waves could not cover Taiping's fair body at all. In the rippling water, her not plump body was much larger than usual due to the refraction of light.

This is a woman who clearly knows where her strengths lie. Because her breasts are small, she lies on her stomach. Because she rides horses all the time and her buttocks are plump, she deliberately half-exposed the water. The waves she created hit her buttocks, which made Yunchu feel very of metamorphosis.

"As long as you know and I know..."

Taiping slowly raised his fair body, half-kneeling in the pool, biting his red lips and looking up at Yunchu.
