After the killing, the Qin army began to clean up the battlefield.
A team of two began to carry the body, while someone else poured water on it to clean it.
The people who participated in the secret meeting in the study were also beaten to death and caught.
Looking at Lingyang's bookcase, Xu Rongle was happy: "This kid really thinks of himself as an emperor."
The book case was the kind of imperial case with a lot of official documents on it. Xu Rong picked up a letter and read it. It was written by the powerful Wei family of Ziyang to Lingyang. In the letter, he denounced Qin's policy of clearing the abbot and made it clear He expressed that he would fight the local government to the end and asked Lingyang what countermeasures he had.
Yang Sansha wrote a lot, but there is no doubt that it is a counter-letter.
Xu Rong raised his eyebrows after reading it.
Liang Principle beside him calmly pressed the secret message in his hand, and said in a calm voice: "General Xu, reading these things will not do you any good."
The Lingyang rebellion case was handled by the Duwei Battalion, and the army only assisted with force.
And it is definitely not a wise move to be involved in such a big case.
Xu Rong was startled for a moment, then hurriedly retracted his hand as if bitten by a snake, and said with a smile: "I'm just being reckless, please don't mind me, Mr. Liang."
Liang Yuan glanced at him, without saying anything more, and began to order the guards and battalion personnel to collect all the letters and search the entire Hou Mansion at the same time.
In Lingzhou that night, not only the prince's mansion was purged, but also the noble families who participated in the secret meeting.
After Xiao Yuan's order was passed to Zhao Mu, tens of thousands of regular troops were mobilized, and Xu Rong was not the only one.
There are many things in Lingyang's mansion, not to mention the gold and silver treasures. Many of them were obtained from the palace before King Ling surrendered. Of course, the most important thing is the correspondence, which is related to rebelling against the party.
Just as Liang Yuan was wrapping these letters, one of his men hurried over, clasped his fists and saluted, "Sir, we found a basement in Huang Xin's mansion. The basement is full of armor and weapons of the Spirit Army."
"Oh? Hiding armor privately, without using these letters is a crime of treason." Liang Yuan said: "Have the other members of the Huang family been controlled?"
"Don't worry, sir, everything is under control," the subordinate said.
"Yes." Liang Yuan nodded: "Continue to search, no corner can be missed."
"yes!"
This Lingyang rebellion was put down overnight before any action was taken.
Early the next morning, a notice was posted on the gate of Lingzhou City. The above-mentioned Lingyang people gathered against the party and planned a rebellion. They were suppressed by the garrison. Two thousand sets of armor and countless arrows were seized.
The first principal culprit in planning the rebellion above was Lingyang, the second was He Miao, followed by Chang Zhen, Huang Xin and others.
People were gathered in front of the notice, all pointing and talking.
"Master Lingyang was granted the title of Marquis, wasn't he? Why did he still rebel?"
"Yes, Marquis, you can't enjoy all this glory and wealth in a few lifetimes, why do you do such an unnatural thing?"
"The hearts of the people are weak. The world has just been peaceful. Isn't it good to unify the nation?"
"That's right, I just allocated a few acres of land some time ago and have my own farmland. If there is another war, I will have to flee everywhere."
"Fortunately, there was no unrest in Lingzhou, otherwise, we would have gone back to the past."
People were talking about anything, and the crowd was getting bigger and bigger. Many aunts holding vegetable baskets were also asking others.
Lingyang thought that if his uprising was successful, many people in Lingdi would follow him and rise up, but in fact, it was all just his imagination.
Maybe there will be, but it is definitely not the common people, at most it will be those wealthy and powerful people whose interests have been harmed.
He didn't really think about the people's hearts.
Ordinary people, after so many years of war, endured the harsh government and heavy taxes brought about by the war, fled at every turn, and went hungry at every turn.
Now we finally have peace. Under Qin's policies, we have our own acres, our own home, and a relatively stable life.
Do you want him to rebel with you again? Doesn't that mean destroying your own home again with your own hands?
The overall situation in Lingzhou has been decided. Liang Yuan did not dare to delay. After packing up all the letters to and from the Hou Mansion, he asked the military aircraft battalion to pass them on to Xiao Yuan.
At the same time, Han Fu, Wu Xiang's son and others in Wu Chu and other places were all arrested by local officials and convicted of treason.
As expected, Jiangnan had already settled down, and Han Fu and others were completely taken care of by a small county official, without even a single wave rising.
The intelligence from the military aircraft camp was transmitted very quickly. It didn't take long for Xiao Yuan to receive Liang Yuan's report, boxes of secret letters, and dozens of lists full of names.
These lists are all people who directly participated in the rebellion, or indirectly collaborated.
Xiao Yuan took a rough look at the secret letters between Lingyang and confirmed the factuality of the list.
Then he took up the pen and added some names, basically the remnants of nobles from various countries.
Then, comments were made on the list.
Behead them all.
He also drew out many names with his pen and merged the three Yi tribes.
With the issuance of this royal order, a real massacre began.
Lingyang's rebellion has become a fact, and he is the main conspirator. He, He Miao, Chang Zhen and others have nothing to say here. After the trial, they will be killed directly.
In addition to them, other wealthy families in Lingzhou who may have participated in the rebellion were also completely purged.
Xiao Yuan didn't even have the intention to interrogate such clans, but directly gave orders to exterminate them.
In addition, many people who were not involved were involved, including Murong Yan.
These people relied on their previous political capital to challenge the royal power overtly and covertly. Even if this matter had not happened, Xiao Yuan would have dealt with them sooner or later.
Let's just take this opportunity to carry out a big purge, not only to unify the world, but also to completely nip all hidden dangers in the cradle.
The killings in Lingzhou were the heaviest, and those powerful families had no room to escape.
The second is the powerful people from all over the spiritual realm.
As a large number of troops entered the city and cooperated with the local military guards, these local tyrants were wiped out in a short period of time.
Then there are the remnants of the nobility.
Why imperial power must rely on family members has no effect on Xiao Yuan.
It is even more ridiculous to have a monopoly on knowledge and talent. He has the imperial examination.
The support of the people of the world and the military power of the country are the most important.
Xiao Yuan used absolute force to complete the great purge before proclaiming himself emperor, so that the entire world no longer had any internal worries.
This was a long-planned massacre, starting from Lingyang's rebellion, and involved more than 26,000 people.
Killing heads rolling in.
This matter was carried out on the way to move the capital, and by the time it was over, Xiao Yuan had already arrived in Chang'an.
In the palace study, he was checking the reports from various counties in Lingdi.
Shangguan Wenruo stood below and spoke cautiously: "Your Majesty, Lingyang has conspired to rebel, and he must be punished for his crime. But the nobles of all countries, except Han and Wu, all the others."
Xiao Yuan looked up at him and said in a calm voice: "Didn't they participate in the rebellion?"
"This is, the minister made a mistake."
Shangguan Wenruo understood.
The king wants to take this opportunity to completely wipe out the remnants of the nations.
