On December 18, at 9 o'clock in the morning, the vermilion heavy city gate in the north of Chengdu slowly opened.
The group walked dejectedly, and the first person was Li Xiong, exposing his upper body, the cold wind blew on his body, freezing the white skin red, and tied his hands back, with the emperor's seal hanging around his neck, leading a sheep upside down, and pulling a big black and shiny coffin.
He was followed by the crown prince Li Ban, the princes and a group of ministers and magnates, all of whom were dressed in filial piety, and there were about 100 people.
After Li Hui'er was returned two days ago, although Li Xiong was furious, he couldn't imagine that through Li Hui'er's inquiry, the only trace of luck was completely shattered.
Fighting, not daring to fight, and relatives were rejected, and the main battle of the Shuzhong clan pointed to Li Xiong to provoke the head, now Li Xiong has made up his mind, let them go to fight with the Ming army by themselves, obviously no one is willing, so they can only surrender, so Li Xiang went out of the city again, and after discussing with Yang Yan, he opened the city and surrendered today.
The Ming army entered the city, and some of them entered Shaocheng, where they would disarm the defenders and garrison important positions such as the city, the palace, the treasury, and the official teeth.
Headed by Li Xiong, everyone knelt down one after another, covered the ground with their heads and hands, and said respectfully: "The guilty minister Xiong betrayed his kindness and begged, far away from the labor of sweat and horses, asked for life and begged for sorrow, dared to abolish the gift of leading the sheep, prayed for loans, bowed down to Ling Jing, sincerely feared, and paused his head."
He has been awarded the grace of the museum, he knows the depth of the crime, and dares to have the reason to survive and the king and the prime minister's hundreds of bureaucrats, the whole country's soldiers, monks, seniors, and soldiers went out to the suburbs, looking at the crime to hear about it, and the guilty ministers were sincerely afraid, and they were stunned."
In the end, Li Xiong was already in tears, and he couldn't cry.
Yang Yan picked up Li Xiong, tore off the rope with a slight luck, and took the seal letter off his neck and handed it to Xun Hu, and then Qian Niuwei brought a piece of clothing, Yang Yan put it on Li Xiong with his own hands, and then smiled slightly: "Zhong Jun understands the righteousness, and it is a great achievement to avoid the scourge of swords and soldiers in Chengdu." ” Li Xiong choked and said, "The sinner doesn't dare." ” Yang Yan waved his hand, Xun Hu handed over a torch, Yang Yan took it, threw it far away towards the coffin, and boom, the coffin ignited a skyrocketing fire.
This is a common ritual of surrender, in which the monarch is required to lead the sheep and drag the coffin.
Meattan is guilty.
Sheep from the Zhou Li Dazong Bo, which said: to jade for the six rui, to wait for the state, Wang Zhizhen Gui, Gong Zhi Huan Gui, Hou Zhi Xin Gui, Bo Zhi Bow Gui, Zi Zhi Gu Bi, male Zhi Pu Bi, to poultry for the six Zhi, to wait for the ministers, lonely to the skin, Qing to hold the lamb, the doctor to hold the goose, the scholar to hold the pheasant, the Shu people to hold the crane, the industry and commerce to hold the chicken.
The emphasis here is on the king's subordination, implying a willingness to submit under certain conditions, hoping to remain in the position of the king after surrender, which is essentially a kind of decent surrender, both to submit to the victor and to maintain basic dignity for oneself and to fight for the corresponding treatment.
Dragging the coffin means that he is guilty of a capital crime and is waiting for the verdict, but the coffin has already been drenched with fire oil, and burning the coffin means pardoning Li Xiong.
Li Xiong saluted: "The sinner has thanked the king for not killing. ” Yang Yan said with a smile: "Lone promises to treat you well, and he will not break his promise, you can rest assured, Luoyang has a place for you, and today Lone will seal you as the West Candidate." ” In his conscience, Yang Yan named him a candidate in the west, not an Le Gong with an insulting nature, and the return to the fate is already very authentic, Li Xiong knew his name, and gave a grateful salute: "The guilty minister thanked the king." ” Yang Yan nodded with satisfaction: "You move out of the palace as soon as possible and arrange another place to live, you can take away the palace utensils that are not exclusive to the royal family, and the inner treasury is your private property, and you can't take a penny." ” Li Xiong was overjoyed At that time, he only talked about the ceremony, and he didn't dare to mention anything else, but now Yang Yan allowed him to take away the property, he didn't dare to think about it, he had been the Taiping Emperor for twenty years, and there was no military disaster, the royal treasury was still quite rich, and he hurriedly thanked him again.
In fact, Yang Yan can't deprive Li Xiong of his property, as a modern person, he knows that it is better to earn it from you than to snatch it from you, Li Xiong's family has a big business, and it costs money to settle a large family to eat and drink, and this money is not earned by the people of Luoyang Yang Yan is not a greedy person, because of the existence of state-owned enterprises, the treasury is not short of money, can make money normally and legally, and then through plunder, confiscation and other drastic means to collect money obviously does more harm than good.
Historically, Li Yu was captured to Bianliang, the capital of the Song Dynasty, his property was confiscated, he was destitute, and he made a living by selling utensils, Xiao Zhou complained that he would not make money, the relationship between husband and wife was getting colder, and the poetry and painting were not worth firewood, rice, oil and salt, Yang Yan didn't want Li Xiong to take this step, let himself bear the notoriety, anyway, this time, in the future, Li Xiong will sit on the empty mountain and live on the street begging for a living, and he can't rely on him.
The surrender ceremony ended here, and everyone entered the city one after another, led by Yang Yan.
Although the people did not welcome the road, they had not yet reached the point of being afraid of snakes and scorpions, and they stood on the side of the road and looked curiously at the Ming army entering the city.
After a while, the palace city was in sight, and Li Xiong's family and palace maids and eunuchs gathered to welcome the new lord in the square in front of the palace.
Li Xiong's wife is Queen Ren, there are dozens of concubines and concubines, and there are more than 200 lower-level Ronghua, beauties, and lovers Of his more than ten sons, nearly half of them have become families, and each of them has dozens of wives and concubines Looking from afar, the eyes are full of warblers and swallows, Chengdu ěu really deserves its name, although it has faded away its luxurious clothes and taken off its head full of pearls, it is still charming and beautiful, and there are a few looks no less than Jin Yuehua and other stunning colors.
When Yang Yan's gaze crossed, some women ignored their men and secretly threw up their flattering eyes, hoping to be favored by the new master.
However, Yang Yan is not interested in this kind of woman, he still likes to be reserved, and in the corner, there is a quiet woman, in her twenties, her skin is better than snow, and her face is like a peach and plum, but she is quite beautiful and graceful, and she can't help but look at it twice.
As soon as the woman's eyes touched, she did not move away in a panic, or looked back with silky eyes, but was slightly curious in her eyes, and looked at Yang Yan generously.
Li Xiong's heart twitched suddenly, this is the queen of his family Don't look at him and he has no interest in Queen Ren, but this was not the case when he was newly married Yan'er ten years ago, Queen Ren was born charming, beautiful and white-skinned, she should be a coquettish type of woman, but she was reserved by herself, and the coldness in her heart formed a strong contrast with the coquettishness of her appearance, which also made him obsessed.
Later, because of the long time, tired, tired, and gradually corrupted and degenerated, there were more and more ěu around him, so he snubbed Queen Ren.
But this does not mean that he abandons Queen Ren, after all, Queen Ren is his wife, if Yang Yan takes a fancy to his concubines, then he can't bear to cut his love, not the emperor, concubines are like concubines, Yang Yan asked him for two concubines, there is no reason not to give it No matter how reluctant you are, you have to give, there is no shame in sending a concubine, but giving your wife to someone else is a great shame for any man, Xu Gong killed Wang Fudu angrily, it was because Wang Fudu humiliated his wife, not to mention that Queen Ren was from Ren's family, and she may have something to rely on in the future, how could he break off contact with Ren Fortunately, the most feared thing did not happen, Yang Yan quickly moved his gaze to Li Hui'er who was standing next to the queen, this little lady's eyes were timid, and she couldn't help but give her an encouraging smile.
Li Hui'er's pretty face was crimson, she lowered her head weakly, and her liver was fluttering and fluttering.
Yang Yan smiled again, waved his hand and said, "Zhong Jun, please go back, I won't send it away." ” Li Xiong bowed deeply as if he had been amnestied: "The minister thanked the king again, and the minister must be safe, and he will never dare to have a second heart, and the minister will retire."
After Li Xiong's family left, Yang Yan asked Liu Lanzi to take the female Qianniuwei to collect the eunuchs and palace maids, and he himself went to the palace with Jin Yuehua, Xixiang and Lingxiang.
Jin Yuehua has been a queen in the end, a strange appearance, Xixiang and Lingxiang have also been pampered since childhood, Shen Chong is willing to spend money, and he can look at it calmly, but it is Yang Yan, who seems to be curious everywhere.
Jin Yuehua looked at Yang Yan with fascination, and suddenly seemed to think of something, playing with taste: "When Lang Jun looked at Li Xiong's wife and concubine before, he was not scared lightly, according to the concubine, there are many beauties among them, and many of them have the intention of hooking up, why didn't Lang Jun ask Li Xiong for it, the concubine expected him to offer it with both hands." ” 。
