Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 161
The news of Luoyang's killing envoy detonated in Chang'an City like a bomb, causing an uproar among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

Yu Xiuer, who was supposed to be in the clouds, suddenly fell to the bottom of the valley. Although Li Shimin's revised version was circulated on the street, Sun Xiangfu was also accused of killing foreign envoys without authorization, and he was sent to death row. The imperial decree has been issued, and the only thing to do is to be convicted and executed.

"I didn't expect Brother Sun to do such a big thing. There are more than 1000 people! We Da Tang fought a battle with the Turks, so many people may not die. He actually killed as soon as he said it."

In the Wangjiang Tower office, Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin gathered around the conference table, chatting in disbelief.

Lawyer Pei at the side was in a daze. He was already thinking about how to rescue Sun Xiangfu, but no matter how he thought about it, he felt it was impossible.

"Brother Pei, should we do something?" Chang Sun Chong also asked with a worried look on his face.

"Yeah! No matter what, Zhengming is our brother, we should try to save him." Lawyer Pei said dejectedly.

"Father called me over to talk to me in the morning. Afterwards, I thought about it. Maybe there is an effective way. That's why I asked you guys to discuss this matter."

When Chang Sun Chong said this, everyone's eyes turned to him.

"It's like this. My father said last night that what Sun Zhengming did seems to be crazy, but it is actually for the country. The only thing that can save him is the hearts of the people."

"People's heart?"

The young people were taken aback when they heard the words, and Chang Sun Chong expressed his thoughts.

People's hearts can be created, no matter how they are, they can be regarded as half-toned actors, so I thought of making a play.

Therefore, the version modified by Li Shimin was artistically processed by Chang Sun Chong, and it became a story of Sun Xiangfu leading thirty guards to fight to the end with the Japanese warriors in order to save the people of the Tang Dynasty who were captured by the Japanese mission. Under their deliberate dissemination, this story spread throughout the streets and alleys of Chang'an City within a day.

"Let me tell you! How could Xu Xian, who couldn't bear to hurt even a snake, kill so many people suddenly? It turns out that these Japanese people have no peace of mind and want to take my Tang people as slaves..."

"These Japanese people face to face and back, maybe my Saburo was taken away by these heavenly killers, my son! Are you suffering in the Japanese country!·······"

"Good job, these Japanese people are more hateful than Turkic people..."

"You said that in our history books of the Tang Dynasty, will there be a record of 'September [-]th, the first year of Zhenguan, Sun Zhengming killed thousands of people in Japanese history'?"

The Datang version of the September [-]th Incident was brought up by various people with different identities for various discussions. The simple people are so easy to be fooled. The story of a person who would rather break the law and save the captive people in the Tang Dynasty was published. After Chang Sun Chong and others fabricated it, Chang'an City already had a good impression of Sun Xiangfu, that is, people who liked the image of Xu Xian on the stage spontaneously began to complain about him. At this moment, Sun Xiangfu's star halo was released.

Of course, things couldn't be done so simply. Before the sun went down, Changsun rushed to Qin Qiong's house.

"Yi Gong, I have already told you about the rescue plan, please borrow the thin and weak farmers on the farm, and let them bring the tattered clothes they don't wear on weekdays..."

"Why is this?"

After Qin Qiong learned about Sun Xiangfu's situation, he naturally begged to see Li Shimin, but Li Shimin's attitude was very clear, if he broke the law, he had to be dealt with according to the law, and pleading was useless, so when he returned home, he was going to drink away his worries Woolen cloth!
"Put in a big show!"

The same situation happened in Yuchi's house, Cheng's house, Pei's house, Dugu's house, and Yu's house. In just one day, they gathered more than 2000 tenants who looked very thin and shabby, and, The lines have been taught to them.

"Is that possible?"

Yu Xiu'er looked at the groups of people dressed as beggars boarding the boat overnight in front of the Wangjianglou gate, and she was still very worried.

"Sister-in-law, please rest assured! Our brothers have already mobilized in every street and alley of Chang'an, and I don't believe that His Majesty dares to go against the will of the people."

Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baolin and others boarded the ship with a laugh. They wanted to join the fleet that came to Chang'an overnight, and use these people to replace the Turkic slaves.

"Brothers and sisters, please rest assured! In fact, His Majesty doesn't necessarily have to kill Zhengming in his heart. We just need to help him survive this calamity. Everything will be easy in the future." Chang Sun Chong comforted Yu Xiu'er, and didn't stay any longer. He still had his own mission, so he went into the city with lawyer Pei.

As for Yu Xiuer, she was alone on the pier looking at the water in Qujiang Pond in a daze. The ups and downs of life happened too fast, and she was a little bit unbearable when she was only a teenager. Before the matter was resolved, she would not even eat Can't eat, can't sleep.

In the harem, Li Shimin was also struggling. He never imagined that after Sun Xiangfu did such a big thing, there would be so many people pleading for him.

Not to mention Qin Qiong, Dugu Mou, Yu Chigong, Cheng Zhijie and Hou Junji and other foreign ministers, in the harem, the eldest grandson empress who has never been involved in politics and the newly born concubine Wei also began to intercede for him relentlessly, you must know In order to maintain Datang's fair and strict national image, Li Shimin spent a lot of thought.This time, he didn't want to make an exception for Sun Xiangfu.

"Your Majesty, you know that Sun Zhengming is always timid and afraid of death. What is it that makes a person like him want to draw a knife to kill someone? Isn't Your Majesty curious? My concubine thinks that although he violated the laws of the country, Sin does not deserve death, those who conspire and instigate deserve death.”

"What my sister said is that Sun Zhengming is not a treacherous and evil person. There must be a reason for his actions. His Majesty should investigate carefully before making a decision."

"Okay, this kid hasn't returned to Chang'an yet! You are so anxious to plead for him, where is the law of the country?" After finishing speaking, Li Shimin shook his sleeves and left in displeasure.

Just after leaving the palace gate, I saw Li Chengqian standing outside the gate respectfully, without him having to speak, Li Shimin knew what he wanted to say, and shook his sleeves again and said, "It's late at night, send the prince back to the palace to rest, Let's talk about it tomorrow."

"Father, son..."

"Let's go back!"

Before Li Chengqian could say anything, he was interrupted by Li Shimin, and walked up the palace wall alone. Li Shimin repeatedly thought about Sun Xiangfu's past, but he couldn't figure out how Sun Xiangfu felt when he killed those Japanese people , This is the most depressing thing for him, a person you don't know what he is thinking, do you dare to use it?
This is the most taboo thing about being an emperor. He hopes that every courtier is under his control, especially talented courtiers.

In fact, through Sun Xiangfu's trip to the south to introduce rice seeds, Li Shimin has already recognized his loyalty to the country, at least he has recognized his desire to benefit the people of the Tang Dynasty, so Li Shimin is also willing to make him a marquis .

But killing the envoy and provoking a war between the two countries made him never expect that this could be done by Sun Xiangfu.

If the Wa country later went to war with Datang because of this, and Sun Xiangfu was not killed, how could he explain to those Datang soldiers who died defending the country?

For the sake of the country and society of the Tang Dynasty, he wanted to maintain a fair heart, so he couldn't just let Sun Xiangfu go. Li Shimin, who was walking on the palace wall and blowing the cold wind, finally made this decision.

　Starting tomorrow, I will resume two shifts a day until the end of the Spring Festival holiday. What can I do? I have to go to an Internet cafe to surf the Internet in my hometown. In the noisy environment of the Internet cafe, I can’t get anything out, and I have to ride an electric car for more than half an hour against the cold wind. Internet access in the town is very hard, and the Internet fee costs a few dollars an hour, which is very expensive. Therefore, the chapters are all revised and released regularly in the past few days. In the morning and in the afternoon, each one is updated. Don’t be disgusted with more words and less words. It is not easy for us poor peasants to do something.
