Chapter 765: Guarding the Imperial Tomb

Of course, Zhu Shou knew that what Astragalus said was the truth, and now he only had these two options. And why don't you have this only choice?

"Well, it depends on who kills our deer. Zhu Shou has already persuaded Astragalus, but Astragalus insists on refusing, so Zhu Shou will naturally not continue to be a good person in vain.

Astragalus was not Zhu Shou's opponent in the first place, and now in such a situation, he has lost again and again.

I saw Zhu Shou's halberd hooked from the armpit of the astragalus, and directly hooked the astragalus from the war horse. And it is this evasion. Zhu Shou's halberd had already pressed against Astragalus's chest.

"You lost. Zhu Shou still didn't cut the astragalus under the horse. Because he knew that losing was already the biggest torture for Astragalus, and there was no need for him to kill people at this time.

"Why don't you kill me?" Huang Qi would rather die under Zhu Shou's halberd than go to the brothers in front of him who still had hope. It was he who brought them to a desperate situation, and only his death could be exchanged for the rebirth of his brothers.

Astragalus, who still had blood on the corner of his mouth, sneered, "Zhu Shou, you think you did this." Will I be grateful to you? You're wrong, and I won't be grateful to you. ”

"It doesn't matter if you're grateful to me or not, and it's not up to me to decide how serious your crime is. When it comes to the emperor, there will naturally be courtiers and the emperor to decide. ”

Astragalus's whole person seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar, "Zhu Shou, you are really ruthless." ”

"Take it away. ”

This battle finally ended with the defeat of King Su, and at the same time, it also made the people of Dali believe that Zhu Shou was the god of war sent by God, and as long as Zhu Shou was there, they would not have an accident.

Although the war was fierce, the emperor was still the emperor, and King Su, who fantasized about driving the emperor off the throne, had become a prisoner.

"Uncle Huang, this king has always respected you, why did you do this?" the emperor asked bitterly.

King Su knew that he had lost, so what else was he afraid of at this moment?

"Becoming a king or losing a coward, why are you so pretending?"

The emperor saw that King Su had no intention of repenting at all, and the original clan friendship in his heart naturally disappeared.

"King Su is a great rebel and tries to subvert the government and the opposition. Fortunately, the general stopped it. For the sake of King Su's old age, send it to guard the imperial mausoleum. "Originally, the emperor wanted to kill King Su. But when he ascended to the throne, many relatives were bloodied.

And King Su, the imperial uncle, is good to him when he is young. Now although he has no family affection at all, he can't be so ruthless if he directly kills King Su.

"Your Majesty, King Su intends to rebel, how can he just send him to guard the imperial mausoleum?"

Immediately afterwards, the people of Prime Minister Zuo's faction also asked for orders and demanded that King Su be killed.

"Aiqing, you are persecuting me. ”

"Your Majesty, it is difficult for King Su to calm the anger of the people if he does not die. Prime Minister Zuo insisted.

The emperor's original intention was to leave King Su's life, but now these dozen or so courtiers he had always relied on knelt in front of him and begged him to execute King Su. But he didn't know what to do for a while.

The emperor, who had no decision, turned his attention to Zhu Shou.

And Zhu Shou obviously didn't mean to help the emperor get an idea, but just said, "It's okay for the last general to kill the enemy, but these things will be useless." ”

The emperor knew that Zhu Shou had no intention of helping him out of the siege, but Zhu Shou didn't help him. I can only stubbornly decide to do it.

"Father, although King Su committed a great crime, he still remembers that in the twelfth year of Baoli, the emperor's uncle and grandfather donated 200,000 taels of silver for disaster relief, and once donated 5,000 deniers of grain in the fourteenth year of Baoli. Although these can't be offset by the wrong things done by the emperor's uncle and grandfather. But it was enough to spare the life of the emperor's uncle and grandfather. ”

"The prince's words are wrong, although King Su donated these back then, it can't offset the crimes that King Su is committing now. ”

"This palace remembers that my father asked the emperor in the court if there was a person who Aiqing was willing to donate, but only the emperor's uncle and grandfather stood up alone. Although Bengong was young back then, Bengong still remembers that when Prime Minister Zuo said that the old mother in the family was seriously ill, he really couldn't get the silver. I don't know Prime Minister, do you remember what you said at the beginning?" the prince's face was not good-looking. But it gives people a chilling feeling.

How could Prime Minister Zuo not remember the events of the twelfth year of Baoli, when the Huai River flooded. But the treasury was empty, so the emperor came up with a way to let the courtiers donate money to help the disaster. It's a pity that the result made the emperor very disappointed, because the entire government and the opposition together donated less than King Su alone.

However, Sui Ming, who was the prime minister of Zuo, told the emperor that his mother was seriously ill, and all the money in the family was used to treat his mother. Although there was an uproar in the government and the opposition at that time, after all, the emperor also said that everyone was free to donate. Therefore, Prime Minister Zuo said this, and the emperor naturally couldn't force it. It's just that this matter has now been brought up by the prince in front of so many people. Sui Ming's face as Prime Minister Zuo is naturally not good-looking.

"If you are really worried, General Ben can send someone to guard King Su. Zhu Shou said.

The emperor looked at Zhu Shou with a look of surprise and said with a happy face, "The Aiqing have heard it, and I believe that the people sent by the general will definitely be able to take a good look at King Su." ”

Prime Minister Zuo knew that he had no chance, so the only thing he could do was to let King Su die halfway.

Yes, there is also something about him in this war of King Su's rebellion, so he can't wait for the emperor to behead King Su to show the public.

"Prime Minister Zuo, before sending King Su away, General Ben still wants to ask you something. ”

The only thing Sui Ming wanted to do now was to send King Su away, as for what Zhu Shou wanted to ask himself. In Sui Ming's opinion, it didn't matter at all.

"General, excuse me. Sui Ming said.

"How did King Su's soldiers and horses come in from the north of the city?" Zhu Shou looked at Sui Ming with a smile.

Sui Ming felt as if he had been seen through by Zhu Shou, he didn't know what Zhu Shou knew, and he didn't know if Zhu Shou was blowing himself up or what.

"What does the general mean by that? ”

"It's not interesting, it's just that General Ben remembers that the guards in the north of Zhu Shou Chengbei and Prime Minister Zuo seem to have an in-law relationship. ”

At the beginning, he was afraid that he would find out about himself afterwards, so the person selected by Zuo Cheng to guard the north of the city was an in-law who had little to do with him. And he is also the most inconspicuous person among his in-laws. But I didn't expect this to be discovered by Zhu Shou.

"The people sent to guard the town are all personally determined by the emperor, and the final decision is also made by the emperor. This official has not done the slightest trick from beginning to end. ”
