Chapter 317: What to Repay

When the news of the defeat of the army was transmitted back to Guzang City, Gao Yueqin led the main force to chase and kill, and joined the besieging Xiazhou army. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Zhang Lang's head was raised high to show the public, and Tian Qi, who was tied up with five flowers, was also escorted to the city with the mighty Qin army, and was forced to open his mouth to persuade him to surrender.

Immediately, under the cover of the strong shield, the prince Zhang Jun also began to shout loudly, exposing the truth about Zhang Mao's usurpation in detail, and assuring everyone on the spot that only Zhang Mao's party would be punished, and the rest of the civil and military forces would not be blamed for the past, no matter what kind of attitude they had before. In order to quickly divide people's hearts and isolate Zhang Mao, Zhang Jun also wrote a notice with his own handwriting, and swore an oath in the spirit of heaven with the ancestor Zhang Yu, saying that if the city could open the door to welcome him and re-establish him as the lord of Liangzhou, then all previous sins could be forgiven. At the same time, the article resolutely stated that no matter who can cut off Zhang Mao's head to dedicate it, then in addition to the generous gold and silver rewards, he will be awarded the honors of Dr. Jin Ziguanglu and General Zhongwu.

Dozens of notices written by Zhang Jun were stamped with sealed letters and shot at the head of the city. In addition to the pardon and heavy reward, the most critical point is Zhang Jun's identity. The first prince Zhang Wei, who ruled Liangzhou for many years, governed the country in a good way, gave both grace and power, and was fair and trustworthy, able to learn and discern and respect the virtuous, so the Liangren respected him very much, and truly regarded him as the monarch's father. When the news of Zhang Yuxue's death came out before, many people wept bitterly as if they were mourning for the examination and approval, which was also a heartfelt regret.

Now Zhang Yu's son is not only alive, but also exposes the shocking conspiracy behind his uncle Zhang Mao's succession, and explains the miserable matter of being framed and forced to run away for help from Qin. Listening to Zhang Jun's sworn words, coupled with the loud drums and shouts of the king, the captive general Tian Qi was also forced to prove that Zhang Mao's usurpation was indeed undoubted, and more and more people in Guzang City suddenly saved, since the first prince died, then of course it was the son of the world to succeed to the throne, how did it become an absurd fact that the brother died and the brother died later. So they all began to choose to believe that the ancestor was really killed, and people were angry that Zhang Mao was really so rebellious, and the crowd continued to be in an uproar.

On the one hand, the siege will continue, and on the other hand, the attack will be strengthened. With a two-pronged approach, although Guzang City is still high and wide, the invisible people's hearts have begun to change from the inside.

Zhang Mao saw that the situation was not good, and decisively decided not to sit still, since Liangzhou was afraid that there would be no place to stand, and there was a sense that the general trend had gone, so he simply went to the Western Regions to avoid it, and then looked for an opportunity to divide it thousands of miles away, and the new country was. So on the night of the third day after Gao Yue arrived at the city, Zhang Mao led more than 1,000 die-hard subordinates to suddenly open the city gate and flee quickly. By the time Gao Yue got the urgent report and hurriedly sent troops to chase after him, Zhang Mao and his party had already disappeared. Gao Yue was furious, and the special general led the light cavalry and chased away.

Guzang City opened its doors to welcome the surrender, and Liangzhou also quickly spread the news. Liang Governor Shi Songpei, Taifu Sima Hanpu and other civil and military ministers all tied their hands and knelt down in front of the gate of the pastoral mansion to plead guilty, all of them were full of shame and hatred. Although they were not Zhang Mao's usurped comrades, as the subordinates of the former prince Zhang Wei who were very trusted, and as the top important ministers in Liangzhou, they did not have the vigilance to take effective measures before the incident; After the incident, he was not slow and confused about right and wrong, and hurriedly supported Zhang Mao as the king just for the sake of Lichang, and when Zhang Jun was persecuted and ran away, he did not stand up and make a request, and he was extremely at a loss. To put it mildly, these people have no intention of rebellion, and they can be regarded as having the factual act of rebellion. Today, Zhang Jun relied on strong reinforcements to succeed to the throne, that is, he ordered all of them to be beheaded on the spot, and everyone also felt sorry for themselves.

However, although Zhang Jun is young, he also shows mature political literacy and excellent means of control. No matter how resentful and disgusted he was in his heart, he didn't show it on his face at the moment, but stepped forward in person and helped Song Pei and Han Pu up one by one, not only did he have no sense of blame, but he also comforted him a lot, saying that all the blame was caused by Zhang Mao's cunning and power grabbing, and everyone was just confused and threatened by him. Now, as long as you pledge your allegiance to Him in the future, you will not only be innocent, but also meritorious.

Although the law does not blame the public, but Zhang Jun's words made everyone really relieved, and they all rushed to swear loyalty in person, and they all came to bow down to Gao Yue and thank him.

After dozens of thrilling and terrifying days, Zhang Jun returned to Guzang City, and returned to the place where he should have been the master. Zhang Jun went to the king's name, still called Xiping Gong, Gao Yue and he went straight into the pastoral mansion, together with the palace conference ministers, Zhang Jun had mixed feelings, wept in public, even took the initiative to downgrade, no matter how dissuaded and resolutely could not afford, in front of everyone, led the ministers to Gao Yue solemnly kowtowed and bowed, and honored Gao Yue as Uncle En.

That night, in the noble room of the pastoral mansion, Gao Yue was about to rest, and Zhang Jun came to visit again, so Gao Yue asked Zhou Panlong to go to the door to guard and meet Zhang Jun alone.

"Xiping Gong is visiting at night, what's the matter?"

Gao Yue smiled and signaled Zhang Jun not to be formal, and sat down to talk slowly. He casually draped a loose robe, also to make the atmosphere more relaxed and not look so dignified.

Zhang Jun bowed respectfully three times, and then got up and thanked him: "The ministers and nephews have gone from being a person who has suffered hardships and destitute to regaining the throne today, which is all due to Uncle En's hand." Before Uncle En's drive, how can there be any Xiping Gong! The nephew is dull and mediocre, if he is not abandoned, Uncle En will call the nephew a nephew, it is the best. ”

Gao Yue smiled and waved his hand, and said gently: "Eh, you naturally have your superiority, and you don't need to be so arrogant. Now that he is in the right position, it is better to call Xiping Gong - your mind is not understood, but in any case, etiquette cannot be abolished, Xiping Gong should not be so humble anymore. ”

"Yes. Uncle En's conduct is noble, and his nephews admire him. Coming uninvited tonight to disturb Uncle En's rest is for the sake of Chen Nuo's nephew Chen Nuo's dedication to the nine counties of Liangzhou. Zhang Jun bowed and stood, and as he spoke, he took out a scroll from the sleeve of his robe, presented it to Gao Yue, and slowly unfolded it, "Uncle En, please see, this is the map of my Liangzhou's territory, which was carefully made by the first public order for several years and on-site visits, and there are no omissions." Although it is remote, it has a vast territory, and if it is only a territory, it is a step ahead of the famous states such as Jing, Yang, You, and Yi in China. Well, I will dedicate this to Uncle En, so that my Liangzhou will become Qin from now on, and my nephew can be regarded as a master. ”

As he spoke, Zhang Jun gently pushed the map closer in front of Gao Yue, and then he took a few steps back, and without making a sound, he lowered his head and stood down the steps.

Gao Yue was silent, moving his gaze silently, slowly sweeping over the map. The territory of the nine counties above, the fortresses of the cities, the mountains and rivers are all marked in great detail, and even several major feudal states in the Western Regions are also drawn on the map, which is extremely clear. He couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, the land of Xiliang is worthy of its name!

The room was silent, Zhang Jun hung his head slightly, waiting to listen to Gao Yue's fate. Looking at the map again, Gao Yue stretched out his hand, carefully rolled up the scroll, and called Zhang Jun to his side, resolutely ordering him to put the map away, before he opened his mouth to Zhang Jun, who was very surprised.

"Erzhiliangzhou is extremely prosperous, and it is an important place in the world. But the widow has his own decision, and will not take any of your land. Previously, the widow helped you get rid of the evil and reset it, in order to uphold the justice of the world and prevent the evil from going unpunished; The next is also to repay your father-in-law for his help and affection in the past. Now fortunately, evil is invincible, and helping you regain control of your homeland can be regarded as a wish, and you will leave soon. ”

"If you really take the opportunity to occupy the cool land, you will greatly violate your original intention, and make the widow become a villain who pursues profit, if you talk about private morality, how can you be much better than Zhang Mao, who stole the country? The widow knows that you will want to know the retribution, but the widow wishes you not to have any ideological baggage, as long as you guard the temple of the ancestors, focus on the right path of governing the country and the people, and carry forward the legacy of your ancestors, and in the future or when I really need you, give some money, food, soldiers and horses to help fight against the Hulu, which is also the greatest reward for the widow. ”

Zhang Jun fell to his knees with a puff, tears coming out of his eyes. To say that he wants to include Liangzhou in Gaoyue, it is indeed out of sincerity. But speaking from the heart, the foundation that his ancestors and fathers worked hard to create, and since then he has dedicated himself to others, Zhang Jun's heart is also extremely bitter and unspeakable. It's just that Gao Yue's assistance to him is too great to repay at all, otherwise, the others really don't have the weight to express gratitude. When he came, he had already comforted himself countless times in his heart, even if he lost the country, but he could be regarded as avenging his father, it was enough, and everything else was regarded as something outside his body, and it was expected that the first father should also understand his own hardships.

Unexpectedly, Qin Gong Gao Yue actually refused to swallow what could be swallowed in his mouth openly. Zhang Jun was unexpected, he was simply grateful, and he felt a sense of relief that he would never be shameless to see his father and ancestors after death. At that moment, Zhang Jun burst into tears and said, "...... Uncle En gave his nephew the power of the sky, but he didn't ask for half of it. is so righteous and thin, but how can he repay his nephew! Since Uncle En's favor has allowed Canzhou to remain independent, no matter how the world changes in the future, Canzhou should always be regarded as the suzerain, and in the event of major domestic events, there will be a play; The establishment of the state lord must be canonized by the Duke of Qin, and then he can succeed to the throne. I'm cool, forever in the town of Qin's domain! ”

Gao Yue was still waiting to refuse, Zhang Jun said with tears in his eyes, if Uncle En still refused, then the ministers and nephews had no place to be ashamed, and they had to abdicate their positions and avoid thanks. In order to reassure him, Gao Yue agreed to Zhang Jun's plea.
