373 It is better to kill mistakes than to leaks (3rd shift)
"Investigator Cao sentenced Cui Mingji to fornicate with Guanghaijun, tried to rebel, and beheaded all over the house!"
"Wronged, king, the minister was wronged!"
"Come on, kill it!"
“……”
The onlookers all looked at the execution ground a little numbly, and the adults who were originally high up and above were cut in two, and their heads rolled to the ground.
The people in the distance, although they did not dare to make noise, were discussing in a low voice.
"This is the first adult, third or fourth?"
"It's the fifth, yesterday it was still high, and today the whole family was beheaded, pitiful!"
"The king is afraid this time, he is afraid that Guanghaijun will be reinstated, and everyone is suspicious, so he would rather kill the wrong one than miss it!"
"Shhh, be quiet, you can't be heard, otherwise it's easier to pinch you to death than to pinch an ant to death!"
“……”
In some remote houses, there are also people whispering.
"Why hasn't Dakin's army come yet? We've already had a great deal of the court in charge of the middle of the house killed! ”
"It's okay, didn't you see that everyone else was killed as well? Let's just let this faint king kill, let's try to keep a low profile and not attract attention. It's best to let the faint king kill corpses all over the field, so that when Dajin comes, there will be more places to surrender! ”
"Yes, let the other adults be cautious, and don't reveal the meaning of the Lord's peace. Either the Bao will be suspected by the king, and he will fight to the death! ”
“……”
Renzu in the palace hasn't slept well for the past few days, and his eyes are full of bloodshots. When his gaze swept coldly towards anyone, everyone trembled with fear. Just today, three palace maids and two chamberlains were killed in the palace. The crime is to suspect that he is illicit with Guang Haijun, and there is a suspicion of tipping off the news.
At this time, he was staring at Jin Liu, the leader of the council and the capital of the city, like a hungry wolf, and asked in a cold voice: "Leader of the council, have the people who went to the Ming Kingdom for help come back?" ”
"Back to the king, he hasn't come back yet." After Jin Liu's answer, he was afraid that Renzu would be angry, so he hurriedly explained, "The deputy general Chen Jisheng of the Ming Kingdom is estimated to be fast, and it is likely that the messenger will not be able to contact the Ming army until he reaches Phi Dao." Lao Chen estimated that there should be news in the next two days. ”
When Renzu heard this, he was not at ease, and immediately ordered again: "Send another messenger to tell Shangguo that the Jianguo in Korea is likely to go south in a big way, and you must let Shangguo definitely send troops to rescue!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Jin Liu agreed, and then hesitated a little, not knowing whether to tell the king what he heard.
While he was still hesitating, Injo asked him again, "How much grain is stored in Namhansan Fortress?" ”
"Back to the king, all the grain reserves in the royal capital have been moved to Namhansanseong. Now that the food in the royal capital is insufficient, I am afraid that in a few days, the food will be unsustainable! Jin Liu listened to it and played it truthfully.
When Renzu heard this, he hesitated for a moment, and then asked again: "Where is the Jianyu, is there any news?" ”
"I heard that it is still near Iron Mountain, and it is not eastward." Jin Liu's time to deal with Renzu was a little long, and then the Khan came out.
"I heard?" When Renzu heard this, he immediately became angry, "Don't hear about it, don't hear about it, but don't ask for accurate news." Thou art an envoy of all the senses, and thou shalt tell the widow that thou hast heard of it? ”
When Jin Liu heard this, he was so frightened that he fell to the ground and confessed: "The minister is guilty, and the minister will verify it as soon as possible!" ”
"And what he's doing there, you have to find out, you know?" Renzu shouted, "Don't listen to the possibility, you should, the widow wants the exact news, don't fool the widow, understand?" ”
"The old minister understands!" Jin Liu immediately responded.
Renzu seemed to be a little tired and wanted to rest for a while, but he suddenly had the energy again, stared at Lingyizheng again, and asked in a cold voice: "Qing told the widow, are there still people with bad intentions in the court?" ”
When Jin Liu heard this, he secretly complained in his heart. Originally, at the beginning, he was happy to answer, and because of this, a political enemy, two colleagues who had offended him, ended up with a full body of beheading.
But Renzu seemed to be endless, asking him again and again, to force him to say, a little hesitant, and it seemed that there would be suspicions in his tone and words, so that he had to obey Renzu's inducement, and he could only die and not die.
At this time, he asked again, and he replied according to Injo's meaning, and as a result, another person who was suspected of fornicating with Gwanghae-kun was characterized.
But when night fell, when Jin Liu came out of the palace, the whole person seemed to collapse, and he sat in the sedan chair and didn't want to move.
Seriously, he was a little scared. Although he is in a high position and usually behaves as a staunch anti-captive, Injo has been suspicious since Gwanghae-jun was rescued by Jianju, and he is suspicious of everyone, which really makes him a little difficult to deal with.
Those who had persuaded Injo not to kill Gwanghaejun in the past as a sign of the king's mercy were killed by Injo for the first time, regardless of whether they really thought so. Then there are those who are not firm in their position and have the intention to show that they can negotiate peace with Jianyu.
This situation is not possible to change unless Guanghaijun dies, or Jianyu retreats to Liaodong. But is it possible? Anyway, he didn't believe that such a good thing could happen.
Today, because of the problem of speech in the proclamation, he has aroused the king's dissatisfaction. I don't know who will slander and covet their position because of this? Jin Liu thought so, and was really a little worried.
If he is someone else, he has a lot of means to slander, for example, he has ill intentions and has never been careful in military affairs, because he has already fornicated with Jianjun and Guanghaijun, so it doesn't matter whether Jianyu has fought or not, whether the Ming army has supported and so on.
Thinking of this, Jin Liu couldn't help but shudder. With his knowledge of the king, as long as these words reached the king's ears, he would surely be doubted. Once the king suspects it, it will be difficult to explain it clearly!
On this night, Jin Liu's temper was very bad, and it is said that the rod killed two maids who were laughing and were bumped into by him.
After another two days, Jin Liu returned to the future and verified the movements of Guanghaijun and Jianyu. The army of Jianyu was already dispatched, and the momentum along the way was like a bamboo, and there was no decent resistance at all, and they all fled. At a speed of 100 miles a day, the army of Jianyu quickly approached the capital of the Joseon king.
At night, Injo heard the news that Jianyu was coming, and he was so frightened that he drove Namhansanseong overnight. The people were even more at a loss, crying for their fathers and mothers, some followed the king's procession, and some scattered to the mountains, becoming a mess.
Jianyu's cavalry was indeed fast, and the next morning, before the people of the royal capital were gone, they had already arrived.
Uncharacteristically, this time, Jianyu did not burn and loot. On the contrary, they even organized the Korean people to extinguish the fire, and then raised a banner, saying that they were here to help Gwanghaejun restore the throne and punish the rebellious nephew Yi Liang, also known as Injo.
As soon as this banner came out, many Korean scholars took refuge in Gwanghae-kun. They believed that with Jianyu's strong forces, Gwanghae-jun would definitely be able to succeed in resuming the throne. Then they were the first to take refuge in Guanghaijun, and they would definitely be reused.
