Chapter 61: Gao Bao's counterattack
Baili Wuji wants to kill people, but obviously he can't kill Gao Baoqiao in front of him, and he has a debtor and a debtor.
"The fourth prince has not yet answered the king, how to guarantee that the land of the three states will be handed over to the king."
"That's right, before my father's death, in order to prevent accidents, I have handed over the 6,000 Dingnandu command token to me for preservation, after my father's death, Gao Baorong has been looking for this token, Ziqing should know the way, Dingnan recognizes the rules of the card and does not recognize people. I haven't shown this token because I don't want to clash head-on with Gao Baorong, let alone Nanping to fall apart because of this. Now, his actions have harmed the Gao clan, and I can only give up one person to save the whole clan. Moreover, the Dingnan Capital and Jingnan Army, which attacked Guizhou a few days ago, have withdrawn to Jiangling, and he handed over the command of Dingnan Capital to me, so I can control Dingnan Capital openly and secretly. As long as the king of Chu promised not to pursue the matter, I would go back and order Dingnan to arrest Gao Baorong and hand him over to the king of Chu for disposal. ”
Baili Wuji was speechless, although Gao Baomiao's words were seven or eight percent credible, but Gao Baomiao did nothing when he knew that Gao Baorong was suspected of killing his biological father, and he was carrying the Dingnandu token and his father's edict to fight the thieves. In addition to brotherly righteousness, there must still be selfishness.
If Gao Baoxuan directly stated the edict at that time, and quelled the chaos with the token, it was very likely to cause civil strife in Nanping, after all, the Jingnan army was in the hands of Gao Baorong, and its strength would be greatly reduced after internal friction.
Therefore, Gao Baoxuan allowed Gao Baorong to lead the army to attack Tanzhou and Guizhou without stopping, and he still had a trace of luck in his heart. Naturally, if Gao Baorong bears the infamy, after capturing the Chu State, Gao Baoxuan will give another edict and order to lead the Nandu Ping thieves, and the entire Nanping and Chu will fall into his hands. This selfishness has caused so much evil.
But there is no evidence in Baili Wuji, even if there is evidence, how can Gao Baoqiao be convicted of the crime based on this, people are not for themselves, and heaven and earth will be destroyed, after all, Gao Baoqiao did not participate in the attack on Chu and the attack on Guizhou, and has always stayed out of the matter.
But this person has such a city government at such an age, and he has to let Baili Wuji keep an eye on it.
"Fourth son, pardon Gao, this king can agree, but Gao Baorong is not among the pardons."
"King Xie Chu."
"Don't be busy thanking you yet, this king still has something to say."
"Please show the King of Chu."
"The fourth prince is very clear about the causes and consequences of this rebellion, the title of the king of Nanping must not be guaranteed, and there must be no more armies in the three states of Jingnan, this is the bottom limit."
Gao Baomiao's heart was cold, Baili Wuji not only wanted to seize the prince, but also to seize the military power. But can you not say yes? People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads, although there are 30,000 Jingnan troops and 6,000 Dingnan capitals in Jiangling City, can they stop the revenge of the Chu army? What's more, there are still tens of thousands of Chu troops in the city of Tanzhou, and it is only a few days away from Jiangling. It's just that it's rare to be able to save the lives of the whole clan.
"But it's up to the king. It's just that I want to ask Ziqing for something, Jingnan Sanzhou is the place where the Gao family started after all, and more than 100 people of the Gao family still have to live, please Ziqing for his father's sake, leave a way to live for the Gao family, I promise that Jingnan will never rebel from now on. Gao Baoqiao bowed his head and replied.
Baili Wuji looked at Gao Baoqing, and his heart was turbulent. I was born in Jingnan, so let's leave a room for it.
"Don't worry, the fourth prince, this king has no intention of expelling the Gao clan from Jingnan. After this king is stationed in Jiangling City, according to the official system of the Chu State, he will appoint you as the assassin of Jingnan and the tax office, and you have both political and financial powers, as long as you do not rebel, this king will make the Gao family peaceful, prosperous and rich. ”
"Thank you, Lord for your grace." Gao Bao said that this is already the biggest concession.
The Gao family has gone through three generations, from a history of assassination to the envoy of Jiedu, and then to the king of Nanping, and now he has returned to the history of assassination, which is really unpredictable.
The next day, Gangneung Palace.
The routine military meeting proceeded as usual.
Gao Baorong was very relaxed, and finally had a good night's sleep last night. Gao Baorong thinks that he has grasped the lifeline of Baili Wuji, with Liang Zhen, Gao Rongrong, Sun Shixu and others in hand, he is not afraid of Baili Wuji and will not compromise.
Today, Gao Baorong presided over a military meeting, and the topic was how to negotiate armistice and peace talks with Chu State.
But Gao Baorong noticed something unusual.
The soldiers of Dingnandu who guarded the palace seemed to have changed, and their faces were very raw.
Just as he was about to ask, he suddenly saw a large number of Dingnan soldiers pouring in from outside the palace, instantly controlling the entire palace.
Dingnan is now in the hands of Gao Baoqing, is it .......
"Fourth brother, what's going on?" Gao Baorong asked Gao Baorong loudly.
Gao Baomiao couldn't bear to look at Gao Baorong's eyes, and bowed his head and replied, "The third brother is offended." ”
Gao Baorong instantly understood: "You are so bold, do you dare to rebel?" ”
Everyone present also understood that Gao Baoqiao was really going to rebel.
Gao Baorong glared angrily: "Fourth brother, do you know that the Chu army outside the city of Ludao is besieging the city, and you have to pick a time to rebel, right?" ”
"Third brother, it is precisely because of the siege of the city by the Chu army that I have to leave a way for the Gao clan to live."
As soon as he heard that Gao Baorong rebelled and wanted to surrender to the Chu army, Gao Baorong became crazy.
"Gao Baoxuan, you are a dog thief, it is in vain that the king trusts ......you so much."
"Third brother, a certain queen is called the third brother. What evil you have done, you know in your heart. Killing your father and killing your brother, for the sake of power, what else do you dare not do, there is a father's edict, and I am ordered by my father to put things right, please sit here as a witness. ”
Gao Baoqiao took out Gao Congxue's edict from his bosom and held it in front of Liang Zhen with both hands.
Liang Zhen trembled his hands and read the contents of the edict clearly. With a long sigh, the king ...... wisely. then transferred the brocade silk to Sun Guangxian.
The king in Liang Zhen's mouth naturally cannot refer to Gao Baorong, in Liang Zhen's heart, Gao Baorong is just a madman, from the assassination a few years ago, Liang Zhen knew that this son is unfathomable.
Sun Guangxian saw the content clearly, and began to have a trace of remorse in his heart, he thought he was upright, and the belief in his heart began to waver, and he who had always believed in loyalty to the king was a little dazed, was the former king really killed by Gao Baorong?
Killing his father and usurping the throne, this crime is too big.
It's just not as good as a pig and a dog. Gao Congzhen scolded after reading it.
But Gao Baorong didn't know what was written in the brocade silk, and at this time, Gao Baorong was already facing the threat of death and had fallen into madness.
"Gao Baoxuan, your blood spews from your mouth, when my father died, I checked all the corners, and I have never seen the brocade silk in your hand, this is a ...... forged by you."
"Gao Baorong, you are wrong, this brocade silk was as early as the day when the killer assassinated Baili Wuji, my father guessed that you would rebel, so I secretly handed over this silk to me, but my father didn't expect that you would be so mad and dare to kill your father."
"You are talking nonsense, I didn't ...... I didn't. After all, he couldn't resist the guilt in his heart, and Gao Baorong began to collapse.
