240 Kill the most hated
The stubbornness of the emperor came from the fear of the majority.
He looked at the faces of one and the other in front of him who were diligently persuading, and knew that these ministers were only out of fear, they were afraid that they would take them out and stay with them in the grassland outside the Saiwai, why didn't they think about how to defeat the Dongxia people? Didn't the imperial army have the army of Eastern Xia? For the time being, it still occupies an advantage, but the superior forces are surrounded by inferior forces, the ministers do not lose their results, and the generals do not fight bravely to kill the enemy.
He hated and hated.
He remembered the faces of these people clearly.
said that he wanted to kill the envoy of the Dongxia people, but the momentum of forcing the palace was revealed, ridiculous, I am a dignified son of heaven, that is God-given courage, how can you be moved?
Once the predicament is solved, he will settle accounts with these people.
He thought in his heart that the palace was forced by Dongxia, and as soon as the envoy of Dongxia arrived, he prepared a steel knife, but when he arrived, the ministers hugged their legs and blocked the arrogant envoy of Dongxia.
This happened, and no one present believed it anymore.
Among these people, some may be afraid of death, afraid that things will be irreparable, and start a decisive battle with Dongxia and die outside the fortress, and some are likely to collude with Dia Bird...... Dia Bird is in the Central Plains consortium, and many gate lords do business with him in private, smuggling grain, copper and iron, tea, etc., do you think you don't know? Clear.
Dia Bird married his own royal sister, born in the main palace, and colluded with him, so he had to collude even more.
Peace?
The negotiation and peace are all conditions set by Dia Bird, and they are all fattening him, how can I agree?
He sent someone to call Dong Wen.
Dong Wen is his uncle, although the family is even more involved with Dia Bird, but it is his own uncle, and he needs his uncle to listen to him.
Dong Wen arrived and sat down.
The emperor directly picked out the words and said, "Uncle." The ministers instigated me to negotiate peace, and you saw it in your eyes. I ask you, do you want to be with it too? β
Dong Wen was stunned for a moment, he also wanted to make peace, and now he did not have the confidence to defeat the Eastern Xia army, which was an indisputable fact. But he knew that the emperor's attitude was more serious, and said softly: "What those ministers said also makes sense." Your Majesty. Have you thought about it, and you can take a breath back. β
The Emperor was furious: "Is it time to run out of breath?" β
He had a showdown and said, "I have already asked Zhu Tianyu to summon the army of the Northern Plains. β
Dong Wen was taken aback and exclaimed, "Don't want the North Plains? β
The emperor didn't think about it and said, "It's not that I don't want to." Jingkang's biggest threat is his Dia Bird, and the decisive battle with his Dia Bird is imminent, temporarily abandon the Northern Plain, defeat him Dia Bird, and then conquer Gaoxian, but it is a remote and small country, and it is easy to recover the Northern Plain. β
Dong Wen was silent.
This nephew grew up watching, and he has a rigid personality, and he knows it well.
The old emperor is also a stubborn person, and to some extent, he appreciates his stubbornness more, thinking that he has an opinion and can stick to his own opinions.
Dong Wen said softly: "This matter is too big. Or gather the ministers and deliberate. β
The Emperor replied, "I ask you." If Dia Bird wants to fight me, does he need to consult with his ministers? The ministers agreed, did he send troops? β
Dong Wen didn't think about it and said: "It should be arbitrary." β
Emperor Sen Sen smiled and said, "I see it that way, too. β
The nephew and uncle didn't know that Dia Niao decided to negotiate peace, so he had to pull people together to persuade and unify people's hearts.
The Emperor whispered, "I know that a man is picking his head. Wu Yuanzhao's old man. You find a reason to kill him. β
Wu Yuanzhao, Taiyuan Wushi.
Taiyuan Wu's is also a gate valve, just a small gate valve, the emperor takes a fancy to this, and he is simple and simple, and now he is holding the position of Hongluqing.
After the emperor ascended the throne, he was quite optimistic about him, and Hongluqing was a ceremonial official and had enough connections, so it is said that the emperor would not regard this person as a thorn in his side, but there were three things that the emperor remembered very clearly.
First, that is, when the Sanfentang was liquidated, this person jumped out and said, how can embroidered clothes go through Dali Temple and the Criminal Ministry of Justice, how can they hunt and kill businessmen at will...... Merchants went out of the city, people did not dare to use money when they went out, and officials rushed to write letters to the emperor to persuade him not to act drastically, and the emperor suspected him of being behind his back.
Second, the New Year's sacrifice to the Taimiao, with the monk to go, he actually shouted in public: "The bald donkey dares to enter the Taimiao." Get the hell out of here. β
Third, after arriving at Baishan Mountain, he asked himself to make an alliance with Diao, saying, "There is no way for the king. Although Dongxia acted perversely, he had not lost his morality or trust in the court recently, how could the court not talk about any reason and be bent on conquest? Besides, he is your brother-in-law. β
If there is no last word, the emperor does not feel anything.
Fighting a war, talking about justice, this is a clichΓ©, and many ministers will say it.
But you are my courtier, how can you emphasize that Dia Bird is my brother-in-law?
Flipping through the resume, I did have an intersection with Dia Bird.
When Dia Bird was in the long monthly magazine, he went to see Xie Daolin, and heard that Xie Daolin did not want to marry his daughter to a Qin prisoner, and was worried, so he took the initiative to persuade him, and said in front of everyone, "The heroes of the world do not ask about their origins, and the emperor also takes scholars, regardless of the subsections, and Anzhi will not take him Dia Bird." And he still has relatives with the Queen Mother's family, Qin He is married to Dia Bird, and he is more likely to be in contact with Dia Bird.
This old man.
I wanted to kill the envoy of Eastern Xia, and he was the first to go up and stop him.
If you don't kill him, you won't get rid of your hatred.
The emperor stared directly at Dong Wen and waited for the following.
Dong Wen was shocked again, and said in disbelief: "Your Majesty." Wu Yuanzhao has always acted without scruples, why do you have to be like him? β
The Emperor only smiled coldly.
Dong Wen hurriedly said: "The former emperor especially valued him, and praised him many times that he was a minister of the humerus, and he acted without misconduct. β
The emperor said slowly: "I heard that before Wang Yugong was not in a high position, he was so honest that he didn't even eat meat at every meal, and he bowed and shook like Duke Zhou. β
As soon as Dong Wen heard it, he knew that it was broken.
This person must be killed, who is the emperor talking about Wang Yugong? Wang Mang. The one who rebelled and wanted to be the emperor.
Dong Wen thought for a while and said, "The Wu clan is the Taiyuan gate valve. There are many people in the border army who are familiar with it. Didn't he bring him for this reason when he sent troops to draw up the list this time. Your Majesty should still think twice. β
The emperor said, "Go and ask him why he can't ...... it."
Dong Wen smiled bitterly.
The emperor said coldly: "Since my uncle doesn't go and doesn't want to dirty his hands, then I will let others do it, and you will be on my side." β
Dong Wen didn't say anything.
The emperor immediately called someone in and demanded, "Go." For me, I asked Wu Yuanzhao, why is it impossible to make peace? Is there a collusion with Diao? Then kill him and come back. β
Dong Wen tried to persuade: "Your Majesty." Why do you have to kill him? β
The emperor said lightly: "To make an example of chickens and monkeys, you must always kill one, kill the one I hate the most." β
The two were talking here, but they didn't know that Wu Yuanzhao was standing in front of a group of border soldiers. Wu is nothing in the gate valve, but in Taiyuan is a big family, Wu Yuanzhao was young to show talent, in the local is a very famous figure, Xiahou Wulu went south, Wu Yuanzhao's brother raised troops to resist the enemy, defeated and captured, because he refused to surrender, was buried alive by Xiahou Wulu. After the death of his brother, he gathered the remnants of the army and joined forces with the defeated troops of the general Hu Jing to fight against the captives. The emperor entered the pass, he took the initiative to enter the pass from the dragon, and in front of the emperor to offer advice to stabilize Dengzhou, the emperor sent him as a pacification envoy, all the way to persuade the past, Yeya Li relieved the military power, disappeared into hiding, he pushed the gentry to force.
The emperor praised him as a great talent, and it was he and his family who made such great contributions.
Dong Wen said that he was involved with the border army, not to mention the involvement, and many generals in the current border army followed him to fight guerrillas back then.
He had a township party in the border army, and when he passed by, he found that they gathered together to talk nonsense, and asked once, only to know that the border army was extremely unstable, so he couldn't help but come out, and found a few old subordinates of the year, with two hands, suppressed the noise of the crowd, and said with an anxious expression: "You don't want to fight with Dongxia, I will tell the emperor the truth, but don't talk nonsense, what can't beat the Dongxia people or something...... This is called self-rebellion. β
Everyone asked him: "I heard that people are going to negotiate peace with us, and they have all this field, why don't they agree?" β
They shouted, "Wu Xianggong." It's not that we're afraid of death. The food is gone, and it is all given to the Royal Forest Army, and they can't even eat enough. If they don't negotiate peace, the brothers will all starve to death. You are also from Dengzhou, so you have to talk to the emperor well. β
Wu Yuanzhao sighed heavily.
Soon, he strengthened his determination and decided to persuade the emperor again, and said loudly: "You wait. I will go to the emperor again and ask for your life. β
He turned around and went to see the emperor, and halfway through, he was stopped by several royal guards.
The family followed him, but he was not in a hurry, hanging in the back half of the depths, and saw him anxiously arguing with a few royal guards, when suddenly a royal forester stepped forward and held him down, pressed him to the ground, raised his sword and slashed at his neck, the family ran forward two steps, trying to save the ...... Unexpectedly, the royal forest soldiers raised Wu Yuanzhao's head and shouted: "Wu Yuanzhao colluded with the Dongxia people, and he died innocently, and he has been ordered to take his head." β
This was made by the emperor, and he still ran forward?
The servant stopped his steps, dodged to the side of the barracks, turned around and ran.
