Text Volume 2 Dawn Morning_Chapter 739 Persuasion
The banquet for the leaders of the Mongolian tribes lasted for nearly three hours before it ended, and under Chongzhen's deliberate connivance, the Mongolian leaders, who had seemed a little restrained and vigilant at first, quickly relaxed. Stimulated by alcohol, the Chahar tribe and other Mongol tribes, who had not liked each other, began to walk to the middle of the feast, dancing and singing loudly, as if they were celebrating in their own tribe.
At the end of the banquet, after several small leaders of the 36 departments were a little drunk, someone finally couldn't help but challenge Gui Yingcha, who was holding the golden cup and refused to let go, to compete with him to see who was the first warrior in Mongolia, and the color head was the golden cup that Chongzhen rewarded Gui Yingcha.
Zhu Youzhen naturally did not let this banquet break up unhappily, he stepped forward to stop this farce on the grounds that Gui Yingcha was injured, and took some other gifts to reward everyone present, and then ended the banquet.
After these Mongols left drunk, Zhu Youzhen, who was reddened from drinking, could still stay sober, and while drinking the sobering soup sent by the attendants, he instructed Lian Shanxiang on the side: "Send more people to escort them back, don't let them get drunk and crazy on the street, and it will not be good to disturb the people." ”
After Lian Shanxiang agreed, he didn't go down immediately but whispered to Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, Wu Nag refused to sign the indictment, and he also scolded Du Du who went to persuade him, and now he is desperately asking to see His Majesty." ”
Zhu Youzhen put down the soup bowl in his hand, he was slightly drunk, and he couldn't help but have the idea of wanting to see Wu Nag in his heart, "Hmm, he is still unwilling to die?" Anyway, I'll go meet him and see what he has to say. By the way, I asked someone to clean up a table of banquets and send it together, and I saw him off..."
Although he has been captured by the Ming army, Wunag has always been treated favorably. After arriving in Zunhua City, he was not placed in a prisoner camp outside the city, but was placed in an independent courtyard in the city, except that he could not leave this courtyard, he could be regarded as free.
Wu Nag, who enjoyed preferential treatment, originally thought that the Akito gave him such treatment in order to soften him and recruit him. In the days when he was captured, he was also trying his best to think about how to make a false deal with the Ming people so that he could return to his subordinates.
Wunag believed that as long as he could return to his subordinates, it would not be difficult to break out of the cage of the Akito. But what he never expected was that Akito treated him favorably for so many days, except for asking him about some things inside Houjin, there was no move to recruit him.
And a few days ago, he was informed that a court would be formed to try him, and the contrast between Akito and before and after immediately angered Wu Nag, and he felt as if he was being teased by Akito.
Before surrendering, Wu Nag had already expected that the Ming might execute him, after all, the Ming ** people he slaughtered on Juehua Island were not a small number. If Mingren took him and directly pushed him out and cut off his head, Wu Nag would still be able to understand.
But now to set up a court to try him in public, and to ask him to confess in public, is humiliating him. The two countries fought at war with all kinds of extremes, and when the Ming Kingdom was strong in the past, it went out to conquer Mongolia, didn't it slaughter prisoners, women and children? He Wunag is loyal to the Houjin State, is the Heavenly Mandate Khan Nurhachi, and has not been loyal to the Ming State and the emperor of the Ming State, what is the sin of fighting to kill the enemy in battle?
What's even more ridiculous is that Akito also tried to get Dorobel Dudu to persuade him to confess his guilt, which made Wunag feel aggrieved to death. He fought hard for the Houjin State and the Mandate of Heaven Khan to be questioned, and the eldest grandson of the Mandate of Heaven Khan received preferential treatment from the Ming people, is there any reason for this.
Out of contempt for Du Du's character, Wu Nag immediately drove Du Du out, and in anger, he proposed to the Ming guards that unless the Ming Emperor could see him in person, he would never admit his guilt in public. When Wu Nag made this request, he was just carried away by anger, and after he calmed down, he knew that this was an impossible request, and the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom didn't even have the intention of recruiting him, how could he still come to see him.
Lying on the bed, Wunag looked at the roof with wide eyes, but in the darkness, all he could see was a mass of black shadows of different shades. Wunag thought to himself that maybe this would be his last night. After venting to the guards, he was now unhappy or angry, and he didn't want to think about anything, but he felt that his heart was empty.
While Wunag was lying on his bed, he was stunned when the guard knocked on the door, opened the door and walked in. After the four guards lit the candles in the room with lamps, one of the guards stood in front of his bed and said angrily, "Wunag get up and freshen up, and then come with us to meet the nobleman." ”
Wunag sat up from the bed slowly, and was getting dressed, when he heard the guard say this, he couldn't help but pause, looked up at him and asked, "What nobleman?" ”
The guard, who was usually polite to him, now looked at him vigilantly and said, "You will know when you go, get up now, don't rub it off." ”
With some doubt and impossible speculation, after a little washing, Wunag changed into the new coats brought by the guards, and then followed them out of the courtyard where he lived, and after passing through a few corridors and verandahs, he was led to a waterfront in a garden.
Looking at the guards in the garden, Wu Nag was almost sure that what he thought was impossible was actually true, that the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom had really come to see him. Wu Nag subconsciously clenched his fists, and a trace of excitement flashed in his heart, he thought in his heart that if he suddenly made a difficulty, could he hold this emperor hostage, even if he couldn't go back to Houjin, at least he could drag a cushion on his back.
In front of the water pavilion, two guards stopped their group, and after carefully searching his body, one of the guards pushed open the wooden door of the water pavilion and let Wu Nag enter the water pavilion.
Walking from the dimly lit water pavilion to the dim outside world, Wu Nag subconsciously blocked his eyes with his hands, and it took a while to recover. Before he could take a look at his surroundings, the guards behind him had already gently pushed his shoulders and reprimanded him in a low voice: "Don't go in quickly, don't be stunned." ”
Wunag staggered forward, then stood firm, glared back at the guard who had pushed him, and took a half-step back with a somewhat weak look, before turning his head and walking towards the hall.
The hall in the pavilion has no furniture other than a table of wine. At each of the four corners of the hall stood a guard. After looking at the two chairs on both sides of the empty banquet, Wu Nag couldn't help but stop and shouted, "Didn't you say that I should come to see the nobles, people?" ”
"What are you anxious about, sit on the chair in front of you, don't talk too much nonsense." A brocade-clothed guard in the hall held a knife on his waist in one hand and pointed to a chair in the other and scolded him harshly.
Wu Nag was about to get angry, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw that another brocade-clothed guard in the hall had run to the door of the side room, apparently to spread the news of his arrival. He took a deep breath and suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart.
Zhu Youzhen, accompanied by Lian Shanxiang, walked out of the wing room on the left, he looked at Wu Nag who was sitting in the hall, and couldn't help but smile and said: "I made Wu Nag Gushan wait for a long time, and drank some wine at night, so I just took a short rest, but I didn't think about it but fell asleep carelessly, Wu Nag Gushan will not be afraid of you for neglecting you." ”
Although Wu Nag had almost guessed that it might be Chongzhen who summoned him tonight, he was still a little stunned for a while when he saw Chongzhen. After coming to his senses, although he had a lot of dissatisfaction with Chongzhen, Wu Nag also got up and saluted Chongzhen in a proper manner.
Even if Chongzhen is the king of the enemy country, he is also a monarch and a minister, and it is not something that Wu Nag can easily offend. Previously, Wu Nag was thinking about how to capture Chongzhen on the road, but most of them dissipated at this moment.
Zhu Youjian lifted the cup in front of him and looked at it, then put down the cup and began to pour wine, he said as he poured: "I heard that Wugushan wants to witness, but do you have anything to say to me?" If you have anything undone, you might as well just say it. If I can do it, I will do it for you, and if I can't, I won't fool you. Come, have a drink to warm up. ”
Looking at the wine glass that Chongzhen handed forward, Wu Nag thought about it in his heart, and finally stretched out his hands to take it. After he drained the wine in the glass in one gulp, he asked Chongzhen, "Why does Your Majesty have to kill me?" Your Majesty can even spare Nurhachi's eldest grandson, can't you spare me, a Mongol?
What's more, although Du Du is known as Dorobelle, he is not in power in the Jin Kingdom after me, and he only has a few collars to inherit Niu Lu. Although I, Wu Nag, am a Mongol, but I am quite trusted by the first Khan and the current Later Jin Great Khan, not only Niu Lu is more than Wu Nag, but also has a much better understanding of the secret affairs of the Later Jin State..."
When Wu Nag was talking, Zhu Youzhen suddenly interrupted him and said, "It's different, you two are different." ”
Wu Nag asked a little stunned, "Different?" What does Your Majesty mean differently? ”
Zhu Youzhen looked at him with a smile and said: "Your attitude is different, I asked Du Du Beile about the matter of the Houjin Kingdom, Du Du said everything to me, even if he didn't say everything, at least he knew everything." And Wu Gushan, you don't even want to say anything about your own son being captured by us, so I think the two of you are naturally different. ”
Wunag was speechless, and fell silent for a moment. Zhu Youzhen continued at this time: "What's more, Du Du Beile has no merit in the Later Jin country, nor is he reused. If he defects to our dynasty, in addition to winning a future, he can also clear up the grievances of Guangluo Baylor, and I can naturally use him with confidence.
But Wugushan, you are different, you were born in Houjin, you were promoted and reused by Nurhachi, and you have been fighting for Houjin for the past few decades, and you have made great contributions to the Houjin country. Isn't it tantamount to denying your past decades of struggle if you take refuge in our dynasty, are you really willing to give up the past and start anew in my Ming Dynasty?
Even if I dare to use you, how can you be sure that you will be able to establish new feats? Rather than abandon the past reputation and die silently in being insulted. I thought it would be better for you to preserve your name, at least so that the Houjin Kingdom would treat your family well. ”
