Chapter 38: The Conviction of the Coffin
Chapter 38: The Conviction of the Coffin
Zhang Bin listened to Wang Yan's words, and just wanted to laugh in his heart, it is precisely because of this "Nine Grades Zhongzheng System" that all official positions are monopolized by you families, and this system has also become a tool for you to control the country.
Shi Le heard the truth, this Wang Yan is not simple, if he can get him, then isn't it the same as Han Gaozu getting Xiao He? I already have Zhang Bin, who is comparable to Chen Ping and Zhang Liang, if I get Wang Yan again......
Wang Yan saw Shi Le's appreciation for him, and began to desperately defend himself: "I am not the one who formulated the state system, how can I be able to turn the tide alone, I just follow the people in power to save my life as much as possible."
Wang Yan secretly glanced at Shi Le, then at Zhang Bin, and saw that there was nothing unusual, and continued: "When I was a young man, I really didn't want to be an official, I just wanted to learn from the sages and not ask about the world, but the world was already in chaos, and I still had some talent, how could I cherish my feathers?" ”
Speaking of this, Wang Yan's tears came out, Wang Yan didn't expect that he could shed tears, it seems that the example of Emperor Huai is really powerful......
But what Wang Yan never expected was that Shi Le's most disgusting man cried, and Shi Le's worldview was very stubborn, in his concept, the right and wrong of a thing was only like this or not, and Wang Yan's words of shirking responsibility made him suddenly very disgusted, but he still forced himself to continue listening.
Wang Yan thought that he had a plan, thinking that he had no credit for this Hulu, and there were many strategists and generals on his left and right, and it seemed that there was only one way to enter and save his life...... Wang Yan suddenly knelt down in front of Shi Le and shouted: "If there is chaos today, and the prestige of the king shocks the Quartet, it is the best time for the king to obey the mandate of heaven and become the co-lord of the world. The king must ascend the throne as emperor as soon as possible, so that the whole world will submit to the king's feet."
As soon as Wang Yan's words fell, Zhang Bin and the others were immediately shocked, and Sima Fan and the others were even more shocked.
Shile's face was calm and unchanged, but he was greatly surprised in his heart, did he ascend the throne...... Shi Le looked at the performance of the people around him, and the excitement in his heart slowly faded, and he said in his heart: Many people present are not confidants......
Shi Le suddenly said angrily: "You Wang Yan entered the imperial court when he was very young, and his reputation spread to the world, is it also false to be called "female yellow in the mouth"? ? And has always held an important official position, how can you say that you have no desire to be an official? Wouldn't you be the one who destroyed the Jin Dynasty and corrupted the Dynasty? Didn't you get involved in the power struggle? You know all the shortcomings of the Jin Dynasty, but you have never acted, do you dare to say that you have no sin against the world?! Now you still come to persuade me to do such a rebellious thing as the emperor, do you know that I was favored by the Han Emperor Liu Yuan, and it is difficult to repay, now the old lord Liu Yuan has just died, and the new lord Liu Cong has succeeded to the throne, it is the time for me to work harder to repay the kindness, you are so big! ”
After Zhang Bin heard Wang Yan's persuasion remarks, he already knew that this person wanted to use the credit of the first persuasion to survive, but the disgust in his heart was no longer overcome, and he wanted to threaten my status? Now seeing Shi Le's performance, Shi Le's brows are even deeper, and Shi Le is obviously moved......
Wang Yan saw Shi Le scolding himself like this, but he became more calm, but he continued to kneel resignedly, he knew that as long as he was a man with power and a soldier in his hands, how could he not think about it? Now I'm just for showing people, hehe, Zhang Bin, I want to see how you stop me?
In addition to Sima Fan and Sima Bi, all the princes and ministers also began to stir, all shouting their wrongs and innocence, and many topics that followed Wang Yan's persuasion also knelt on the ground in the hope that Shi Le would be the emperor, and for a time these princes and ministers became Shi Le's most loyal courtiers.
Shi Le looked at this scene and felt the pleasure of being able to slaughter others at will, but he also knew that he needed to stop it, after all, many of the leaders sitting here were confidants and clansmen of other Han magnates.
Zhang Bin pretended to persuade him to drink, and glanced at Kong Chang beside him.
Kong Chang, one of the first eighteen horsemen to follow Shi Le, is Shi Le's real henchmen, Kong Chang heard Zhang Bin's hint, and blinked his eyes lightly to show his understanding, but just when Kong Chang was about to get up and scold these shameless princes and ministers, he suddenly shouted loudly, which startled Kong Chang.
"You guys are also surnamed Sima, why bother talking about today's matter, it's just a death, as for the other ministers, please maintain the integrity of a scholar." After Sima Fan finished speaking, his eyes closed again, and his expression was still so solemn.
Zhang Bin admires Sima Fan's demeanor very much, but unfortunately he is also surnamed Sima......
Shi Le was also very surprised, one of these Sima princes present was really backbone, and he couldn't help but look at Sima Fan a few more times, and said, "You are Sima Fan?" ”
"It's down there!" Sima Fan said neither humbly nor arrogantly, judging from his tone, he had no consciousness as a prisoner.
Shile became even more curious and asked, "What else do you want to tell me?" Look at your nephews and ministers, you should beg me for mercy as they did, and I may be able to spare you, hehe."
Sima Fan didn't look at Shi Le, but at these wretches next to him, with only a sneer in his mouth, and all the princes and ministers, including Wang Yan, were ashamed and didn't dare to look at Sima Fan's eyes.
Sima Fan paused, stared at Shi Le and said, "Does the king know how many people were killed in this massacre?" Was it directed by the king himself? ”
"This king doesn't know, and it is impossible for him to do such a heinous crime, this is all done by Wang Mi's younger brother Wang Zhang, and I will definitely punish him. And this king has been running out against Sima Bi's troops, don't you believe Sima Bi." Shi Le's sleek appearance made the Hu people burst into laughter.
Sima Bi's face was ugly, although the blood on his face was wiped clean, but the humiliation in his heart could not be concealed, hearing Shi Le say this, Sima Bi was eager to drill a hole in the ground, not to hear the ridicule of everyone.
Sima Fan glanced at Sima Bi, shook his head and sighed, and said slowly: "Shi Le, I hope you will do it yourself, and your killing today will definitely be retributed to your clansmen and descendants for generations to come!" After finishing speaking, Sima Fan closed his eyes again, no matter who said anything to him, he would no longer make any reply, and he was bent on begging for death.
Shi Le looked at Sima Fan's resolute appearance, as well as the sharp and straightforward words, his face was blue and white, Shi Le could only look at Kong Chang as if he was looking for steps, and said: "I dominate the world, what kind of people have not seen, only this person surprised me very much, I have never seen it, do you see if you can save a few of them?" ”
Zhang Bin deliberately didn't look at Shi Le, but was silent.
Kong Chang didn't look at Zhang Bin either, and immediately replied: "King, they are all princes and ministers of the Jin Kingdom, can these royal clansmen not have the surname Sima?" Or will these ministers really come to us? After a long time, it won't work for us after all."
When Shi Le wanted to say something more, Zhang Bin suddenly walked up to Shi Le, leaned over and whispered, "There are so many leaders here ......"
Shi Le took a deep look at Zhang Bin, and then at the leaders, especially at Wang Yan and Sima Fan for a long time, before he made a decision in his heart, and said loudly: "Come on, bring Sima Yue's coffin up to me!" ”
When Sima Yue's coffin was lifted, Sima Bi's eyes were dull, Sima Fan was still indifferent, and Wang Yan looked at this coffin, and his heart was also desolate......
Shi Le slapped the coffin twice and said loudly: "Heavens, look, it is this person who has disturbed the world, and I will burn this person's body now to sacrifice to heaven and earth!" ”
As soon as Shi Le's words were finished, many Hu people used axes to cut open Sima Yue's coffin, revealing Sima Yue's body. Zhang Bin couldn't help but come forward to watch.
Sima Yue's body was lying in the coffin unharmed, the illness before his death had tormented him very thin, and the body seemed to have been embalmed.
Shi Le looked at Sima Bi and smiled: "Sima Bi, look at your father, when he was alive, I often suffered defeats at his hands, but now, hahahahaha, tiger father and dog!" Hahahaha! ”
Sima Bi was already weeping after seeing his father's coffin being dissected, and now he was so humiliated by Shi Le, in a fit of anger, he wanted to rush to Shi Le and kill Shi Le!
Shi Le waved his hand to stop the movement of his own soldiers, let Sima Bi in, just a few rounds to trample Sima Bi under his feet, Sima Bi was at Shi Le's feet, unable to move at all, the struggling look made Shi Le and all the Hu people, laughing even more presumptuous, Shi Le asked the soldiers to tie Sima Bi away, pointed to Sima Yue's coffin to everyone and said loudly: "Light fire and burn this thief!" ”。
Wang Yan couldn't bear to continue watching, but now it's impossible for you to let him stand up for Sima Bi again, and it's a question of whether he can live or not......
The raging fire quickly engulfed Sima Yue's coffin, and the ending of a generation of heroes was clean......
Shi Le seemed to have had enough, and asked people to take Sima Bi down, Shi Le slowly looked around at everyone, and said coldly: "Let's all go down, and talk about it tomorrow."
Wang Yan and the other princes and ministers breathed a sigh of relief, as if they were saved, and they didn't say that they would kill us immediately......
Shi Le, Zhang Bin watched Wang Yan and the others being taken down, Shi Le asked Zhang Bin: "Military advisor, these people can't stay, but you can't kill them with a knife and axe, after all, it's the prince's minister......"
Zhang Bin had long known that Shi Le would ask this question, so when Shi Le's celebrity carried the coffin, he secretly told Kong Chang the method.
As soon as Kong Chang heard Shi Le's question, Zhang Bin stood up and said, "Lord, I see that there is a remnant of a house with a wall that is already in danger......
Shi Le glanced at Kong Chang, nodded, expressed acquiescence, looked at Zhang Bin again, and said in his heart: Why don't you talk to me directly, isn't he relieved in his heart??? Hmph......"
In the middle of the night, there was a rumbling sound, and a large wall in the prison where these captured princes and ministers were located collapsed, and no one survived, including Sima Fan, Sima Bi, and Wang Yan......
