Chapter 539 Exiled to Xianbei Mountain in Liaodong!
Why is reform a war?
Why does political struggle never end?
Because before the winner is decided, no one will retreat, but will persist until one side is completely defeated or even dies.
The court's investigation into witchcraft did not scare the people in the dark, but instead aroused their more brutality.
Another rumor that came from nowhere, "Can witchcraft be controlled by humans?
Is Long Qing beneficial to the country?
Isn’t his death from witchcraft a happy event that makes people all over the world happy?
Liu Yang ignored the hard work of his ancestors and favored evil ministers, causing the yin and yang in the palace to become disordered, which led to the occurrence of witchcraft.
He treated his clan members harshly and did not continue the bloodline of his ancestors, so God sent down natural disasters and his ancestors used witchcraft to warn him of the fate of his unfilial descendants.
It makes people sigh and cry!
He did not seriously reflect on his own mistakes, but abused the power of the emperor, appointed powerful ministers, and persecuted loyal ministers and heroes.
The people of the world were about to rise up against him, so he used witchcraft to frame them, used terror to suppress them, and blocked the way for ministers and heroes to speak.
How many people died unjustly, and how many were exiled to dark and barbaric lands.
Alas, with such a king, can the Han Dynasty last long?
Wouldn’t God reject him?
I am afraid that the past events of the Li Emperor will happen again."
There is another voice, which is not as harsh as the above words, but is unusually sarcastic, "Without a crown prince, how can the country be stable?
Won’t God hate those who cause the disorder of yin and yang?
The emperor has not appointed a crown prince yet. It seems he is confused.
The emperor is about to die, and the throne will fall into the hands of evildoers. Alas, how sad it is. "
These remarks soon reached the ears of Emperor Liu Yang. When he heard these remarks, Liu Yang's hands were shaking and his face was completely red. He was dumbfounded and didn't know what to say. Finally, he roared angrily: "Thief!"
Then he fainted from anger. Luo Yi rushed over. Fortunately, Liu Yang was not like his ancestors who lost their temper. He said to Luo Yi fiercely: "Grand Prime Minister, help me find these thieves, these thieves who have forgotten their ancestors, these shameless thieves, I want to kill them all.
Dice them apart and let their souls fall into hell, never to see the light of day again!"
Liu Yang's voice was full of hatred. He roared in a low voice, "Looking forward to the death of the emperor and father, wantonly commenting on the private affairs of the royal family, I appointed the prime minister to reform the law, and the people are stable, but they actually belittled me like this, who gave them the courage?"
Luo Yi's expression remained normal, as he believed that these measures were just routine. "Why should the emperor care about these disturbances?
Will our enemies still say good things about us?
Do you think a lowly bastard would know what is just and right?
They squeeze the blood of the people, trample on the dignity of the people, use these for fun, suck the flesh and blood of the country, hollow out the foundation of the country, and strengthen their own bodies. Is there anything else to say to these insects?
The only thing we can do is to chop off their heads with the sword in our hands and record their evil deeds in history with the pen in our hands.
You are the Son of Heaven, and your posthumous title will be presented to the Su Wang Shang Huang Tian. Please believe that the Su Wang Shang Huang Tian will give you a fair evaluation. As long as you keep moving forward, you will get what you deserve. "
The reform has just begun to show results, and Luo Yi must encourage Liu Yang to maintain his morale and persevere.
Moreover, in this world, the final power to decide posthumous titles lies in the hands of the Luo family, which is fair and just.
After hearing what Luo Yi said, Emperor Liu Yang nodded and said in a deep voice: "Grand Prime Minister, you don't have to worry about my health.
The people of the world have too much ill will towards Long'er. If I make any mistake, Long'er may lose his life.
Just for this reason, I will definitely persevere. "
Luo Yi frowned slightly when he heard this. The emperor's weakness was more serious than he had imagined!
True love is a good thing for anyone and can be considered an excellent quality, but it is a very scary thing when it appears in an emperor.
Luo Yi couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, do you have a branch that you particularly don't want to inherit the throne?"
You must have no son, so do you have a branch that you particularly do not want to inherit the throne? Please tell me. I will help you one last time after you die, based on the loyalty I have shown you over the years.
Liu Yang was stunned for a moment, then said blankly: "The Prime Minister is investigating witchcraft. I am sure that there must be royal family members among them. Those who are related to these royal family members must be eliminated."
Luo Yi understood that in this war with a complicated situation and complicated personnel, some people would take advantage of the situation.
The key lies in how many people you can implicate!
Luo Yi himself wanted to involve more people in this, because in today's world, these powerful people are basically not clean. Killing these people may be a bit of a loss, but exiling them is just right.
Compared with reforms to save the internal affairs and destiny of the Han court, what Luo Yi and the entire Luo family wanted to do more was to fill the void in all directions and drive the Central Plains' almost exploding population to the wilderness in large numbers.
After experiencing this incident, Luo Yi finally understood that the world's attention is now focused on the Witchcraft Case.
If the witchcraft case cannot be solved, it will be impossible to continue to focus the world on reform!
On the one hand, Luo Yi mobilized people from the imperial court, including the Chief Justice and the Imperial Guard, and on the other hand, he began to question the marquises who were guarding the country and accepted reports. At the same time, he also mobilized the power of the Luo family to conduct a thorough investigation of the imperial palace.
Especially those who came from the ancient Chu land must be strictly interrogated, as these people are all major suspects.
Witchcraft is not something that can be done by simply making two little figures, sticking names on them, and then sticking a few needles into them.
This is a very professional skill, which starts with making a wooden man, calculating the date of birth, the location of acupuncture, and performing a series of spells and rituals.
Ordinary people simply don't dare to touch it, for fear of being contaminated by something unclean. There must be a witchcraft family from the old Chu State involved.
After two or three months of efforts by Luo Yi, who had invested a huge amount of manpower and material resources and even temporarily put aside the political reform, some clues were finally revealed!
When Luo Yi got the news that he had found a clue, he couldn't help but sigh: "This group of people are really good at hiding, just like mice in a hole in the ground, no wonder they only dare to use witchcraft in secret.
Take me there quickly, I am curious about who did this."
The person who came to report the news was shocked when he heard it: "Grand Prime Minister, witchcraft is strange, how can a noble like you go there?"
Luo Yi touched the holy mark between his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I have the protection of the Supreme Emperor Su Wang, how can the evil spirits in the world get close to me?"
The witch who cast the spell was an old woman in her seventies, with wrinkles all over her face and hollow eyes, almost black. She was quite frightening to look at. Even after being caught, she was still very restless and had amazing strength, she didn't look like a seventy-year-old, nor like a woman.
Until Luo Yi suddenly appeared and the old woman saw the holy mark on Luo Yi's forehead, she was struck by lightning. She muttered something in her mouth, then suddenly knelt down. The people around her could only vaguely hear the words "Su Wang" and "Taiyi".
Luo Yi personally asked her about the mastermind behind the scenes, and the old woman cooperated and told him the truth. Then, in front of everyone, she suddenly started bleeding from all seven orifices and died suddenly!
Death came so suddenly that even Luo Yi was shocked and didn't know what had happened.
After this episode, everyone present recalled the mastermind that the old woman had just mentioned.
There was silence in the field. Luo Yi sighed slightly. It turned out that it was really the clan members and relatives by marriage who were causing trouble.
Although Liu Yang did not have a queen, he did have concubines.
Liu She didn't care.
Unexpectedly, after Liu Yang came to power, he caused dissatisfaction in the harem, but he did not dare to face the emperor directly, so he caused this incident.
This old woman was an old witch from Chu, a true witch with a long tradition, so she was invited to curse the emperor and Long Qing.
As for the clan members, it was even more normal. Liu Yang had no son, so who among the close clan members did not covet the throne? The ones with the greatest chance all wanted to kill Liu Yang and then take the throne through arrangements.
Witchcraft is just one part of it.
Luo Yi rubbed his brows and temples, feeling a little swollen, and glanced at the people around him and said, "Now I can report to His Majesty. This is really the biggest case in the country. I don't know how many people will be implicated."
————
In the spring of the twelfth year of Lingyou, the Prime Minister should break the witchcraft, whether it was relatives or powerful people, and Emperor Dao cut off their heads and said angrily: "The rebellious people will be exiled to Liaodong, and their surnames will be taken away. They will no longer be Han people. As long as the country is in power, they will not be able to return!"
Three hundred thousand of them fled to the Great Xianbei Mountains in Liaodong, which is located in the extreme north of Liaodong. It is extremely cold and bitter. Five or six of them fled, and the lucky ones split into tribes. They took their surnames from the land and lived by fishing and hunting. Han customs were gone, and the Hu customs were not affected, but mixed in. - "Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Table of Clans of the Four Directions Since the Founding of the Han Dynasty"
