Chapter 489: Dealing with the Aftermath
The god of war of the Qi generation, who was extremely brave on the battlefield and regarded death as home, and the world-famous beautiful man Gao Changgong died, and he died with unwillingness and anger, because he died at the hands of the emperor he was loyal to, his cousin Gao Wei!
Seeing that Gao Changgong was dead, Mu Tipo sneered, and left the Lanling Royal Mansion with the people, and then there was a heart-rending cry from the palace!
Mu Tiva returned to the palace and reported to Gao Wei the news that Gao Changgong had died, which made Gao Wei laugh happily and said excitedly: "Haha, this Gao Changgong is finally dead, and my long-standing wish has finally come true!" At the beginning, this person who relied on his own royal family to dare to say that state affairs are family affairs in front of me, it is simply unreasonable! This Qi country is my Qi country, and everything in this country is my business, what does it have to do with his high and long merits? He is just a courtier, he dares to have the idea of treating state affairs as a family matter, he must have the idea of being the master of the house! And with the military power in his hands and his prestige in the army, it is really possible and powerful to do those great rebellions and usurpers! ”
"Your Majesty is right! He didn't know what yin virtues he had accumulated in his previous life, so he was fortunate enough to be born in the royal family, but he didn't feel happy and grateful for this, he was loyal to His Majesty and Daqi, but concealed it from His Majesty, and had contact with these wealthy nobles of the Du family in private, a general with military power colluded with a rich family, and ordinary people knew what they wanted to do! Mutipa said with a look of disdain.
"But fortunately, Your Majesty is the true son of heaven, Hong Fu Qitian, so God blessed our Great Qi and sent General Xiao to Yecheng to expose these conspiracies and tricks of Gao Changgong, so that we can know Gao Changgong's wolf ambitions, and now we can prevent it from happening, and we can execute him before he succeeds, which is really a great luck in misfortune! Your Majesty, you don't know, at that time, Gao Changgong was extremely panicked when he was questioned by the last general, and he also admitted that he was the murderer behind the street assassination of General Xiao on Qinglong Street! Even he said in his dying throes that everything he did was for the sake of Daqi, which was full of nonsense! Mu Ti Po told Gao Wei about the scene when Gao Changgong was dying, patted Gao Wei's ass and continued.
"So the last general thinks that we really should thank General Xiao for providing us with this information, General Xiao is really a god man, the things he guessed are not wrong at all, and they are really Gao Changgong's doing! With the joint efforts of His Majesty and General Xiao, now that our Great Qi has also signed an armistice and peace treaty with Chen State, and the two countries will no longer be at war and can live in peace, then our Qi State will also be under the rule of His Majesty's wise and martial arts, and the country will be peaceful and prosperous, and the national strength will be stronger! Mu Ti Po observed his words and knew that Gao Wei trusted Xiao Yao and regarded Xiao Yao as a true confidant, so he also deliberately patted Xiao Yao's ass vigorously to win Gao Wei's happiness!
"Yes, I and Shiro really hit it off at first sight, and they hate to see each other late! Unexpectedly, after Shiro came to Yecheng, he not only brought peace to our Daqi, but also trained Xiao Lian, the best stunner, for me, and also exposed the true face of Gao Changgong, a rebellious minister and thief, so that I can now put Gao Changgong to death and eliminate future troubles forever, Shiro has really made a great contribution to me! It's a pity that Shiro left too anxiously and suddenly, and he didn't see the happy and exciting scene of Gao Changgong being killed by me! Gao Wei said with a very regretful and longing expression.
Suddenly, Gao Wei showed a look of disgust and worry on his face, and said a little impatiently: "Now that Gao Changgong is dead, what can I do next to stop the mouths of those ministers in the court?" ”
"This Your Majesty can be absolutely assured, and the last general guarantees that most of the ministers in the court will not dare to have any doubts and pressures against Your Majesty about Gao Changgong's death! Because the last general had already greeted the Du family in advance and told them that His Majesty already knew the fact that they were secretly dealing with Gao Changgong, but His Majesty was broad-minded and had a heart of love for talents, so he was very kind to them, and he would let them go for the time being in this matter, and just put Gao Changgong to death with a rebellious heart! With such a warning, the Du family was already frightened, and told the last general that they would serve His Majesty wholeheartedly and loyally, and would never commit another crime of stepping into the court and doing things like grass on both sides in court politics! Therefore, they have also warned those ministers who are connected with them in advance, asking these ministers to absolutely not have any actions and remarks on the death of Gao Changgong, and they must fully support His Majesty's decision to execute Gao Changgong! ”
"Great! This Du family is also a little self-aware, and they know how to immediately change the cliff, change their past mistakes, and support me to execute Gao Changgong! If they dare to live up to my tolerance of their Du family, and dare to have dealings with other ministers and generals in private, even if I am jealous of their Du family, I will behead them all over the house! And those ministers dare to cry out for Hu Luguang every day like they did when I executed Hu Luguang before, and then they are above the court, and they ask me in public, that kind of aggressive posture, as if they want to remove me from the throne, I don't mind killing a few more people! Gao Wei said fiercely.
"Now that Gao Changgong is dead, we have also played a role in killing chickens and monkeys, and killing a hundred people! I believe that those ministers already know that even a general like Gao Changgong, who was born in the royal family, although he has also made great contributions to the country, as long as he dares not to be loyal to His Majesty, dares to secretly collude with others, and conspires against the Great Rebellion, His Majesty will not hesitate to execute him! Therefore, in this way, those ministers will no longer dare to have different intentions and cranky thoughts, and they will definitely be more loyal to Your Majesty in the future and serve Your Majesty wholeheartedly! Mutiva continued to pat her ass.
"Now that Gao Changgong is dead, how will he deal with his future?" Gao Wei asked again.
"Although Gao Changgong colluded with the Du family, and planned the assassination of General Xiao on the street, but these are all dirty things he did secretly, and they are all groundless to outsiders, and this matter can't make too much movement, so as not to involve other people, so since Gao Changgong is dead now, then it doesn't hurt for us to make his funeral more grand and decent! After all, he was also born in the royal family, and he also has a high prestige in the army, so we buried him thickly and posthumously sealed him with some false names, so that in the eyes of outsiders, you will feel that Your Majesty is an emperor, open-minded, and affectionate emperor, which is conducive to Your Majesty's efforts to win people's hearts and make ministers and soldiers more loyal to Your Majesty! Mutiva suggested.
"Well, it does! Now that Gao Changgong is also dead, there is no need for me to exterminate his family, after all, they are also members of our Gao clan's royal family! Give Gao Changgong some false honors, so that you don't have to shame our royal family! Alas, who made me a kind-hearted emperor who thought of family affection, for the stability of the Qi court and the face of our royal family, I not only want to forgive Gao Changgong and other people with different intentions, but also help Gao Changgong cover up these great rebellious things he has done! Gao Wei boasted.
