Chapter 259: He Jin's Conspiracy
Wang Rui's crazy scolding suddenly made Wang Xu's mind flash a flash of inspiration, and he faintly grasped some keys. But at this moment, he didn't have time to think about it, so he wrote down these words and put them aside for the time being.
But everyone else didn't care, except for Tian Feng, Guo Jia and a few others who were enlightened, the rest thought that he was just going crazy before he died. After all, his current state is very abnormal, not only is his laughter out of shape, but his distorted face gives people a sense of insanity.
Just when Wang Rui was laughing, Wang Fei, who had never looked at him at all, suddenly walked to the front of the high platform and said suddenly: "General, noon has arrived, it's time to be executed!" β
"Hmmm! Then let's carry it out. Wang Xu was also in a very bad mood at the moment, even if he waved his hand.
"No!" Hearing this, Wang Fei responded, quickly turned around, opened his voice and shouted: "Noon has come, the executioner is ready to execute!" β
"Wow!" Following his order, more than 100 people suddenly walked out of the neat ranks of soldiers, carrying thick-backed knives, and walked in unison to the prisoners in the field. And the people around them also quieted down again, and they could only hear the executioner's boots stepping out "Bang Bang!" Voice.
At this moment, the prisoners, who had been looking like ashes, finally recovered their thoughts. Some people sigh for a long time, some people look up to the sky and cry bitterly, some people are full of remorse, and of course, more people fall to the ground with a "poof" of conditioned reflex, crying and begging for mercy.
"The general is gracious!"
"When I know my mistake, the general will spare our lives!"
"General Wang, just let me go!"
"General! Spare your life......"
Only Wang Rui, who was in the frenzy, jumped like thunder and scolded loudly: "What do you ask for, isn't it just death?" Die and die, anyway, he will come down soon to be buried, and we will not be alone. β
It's a pity that his words have been ignored by everyone. Although he was unwilling to pull the kneeling people, no one paid attention to him at all, but he was pulled and fell.
Dozens of people knelt on the ground at the same time and cried for mercy, and the scene was quite shocking. Seeing this scene, Wang Xu couldn't help but sigh for a long time, and his heart softened a little. But there are some things that have to be done, and they don't have to change now. So in the end, he shook his head helplessly, slowly closed his eyes, and turned his back to them. "If you knew today, why bother? The law of the country is ruthless, and General Ben is helpless. Go with confidence, I will inform your family to bury well, and if there is no one to bury you, I will bury you on your behalf. In addition, I will treat your family members equally as ordinary people in the future, which is the maximum limit for me. β
With Wang Xu's words, the executing sergeants were already in place, and those people saw that there was no hope of survival, so they also stayed where they were, and fell back into a state of starlessness. At this time, Wang Fei stood up again and shouted at these people: "Kneel down yourself!" In this way, you will not suffer, and you will have nothing left with a single sword. If it's a business trip, it's no wonder we're not going to blame. If you really can't kneel, let me know, and I'll ask the sergeant to help you. β
These people knew that they were in danger, but they didn't say anything more, except for a few who were particularly afraid of death, paralyzed on the ground, unable to move, everyone else knelt down cooperatively. After all, if you can't kill with a knife, you have to make up for it, and you will really suffer a big sin.
After a while, all who could kneel had already knelt down, and those who could not have stood up with the help of the sergeant. Wang Feicai turned his head to look at Wang Xu's back and reported loudly: "General, it's ready!" β
Hearing this, Wang Xu didn't know why, and never wanted to look back. Although many more heads have been seen, this is the first time that such a pure massacre has been performed. However, in order to give those people a good time, he did not hesitate at all, and threw the arrow in his hand suddenly, and said lightly: "Cut!" β
As the arrow drew a graceful arc and fell heavily to the ground, the broadsword in the sergeant's hand was suddenly raised neatly, and after exerting enough strength, it swung down sharply.
At this moment, few people and officials dared to face it, and they all involuntarily turned their heads sideways.
"Poof! Poof! With a not-so-uniform sound of entering the flesh, more than 100 human heads suddenly "Knock knock!" "Landing.
Hearing the movement, many people still couldn't help the curiosity in their hearts and secretly looked over. But the round head was unbearable for them for a moment, and most of them didn't dare to look more, so they hurriedly turned around and nervously talked to the person next to them, so as to distract themselves. There are even people who can't help but feel sick to their stomachs and vomit "wow!
After the head landed, Wang Xu didn't have so many scruples, turned around and took a look, and sighed to Wang Fei in the audience: "Hey! Second brother, you send a sergeant to clean up! If a family member comes to claim it, it will be given to them, and if there is none, we will pay for it and bury it at the General's Mansion! β
"No!" Wang Fei answered, and didn't ask much, even if he walked quickly to the distance and ordered the sergeant to go.
Instead, Tian Feng looked sideways at Wang Xu and said with a slight smile: "Lord, don't you hang their heads at the city gate to show the public?" β
"Forget it! People are dead, and there is no need to torture corpses. Besides, the purpose of this execution was to impose a severe punishment and highlight the majesty, and judging from the reaction of the people, it is obvious that it has been achieved, and it will soon be spread. Those people from all walks of life who are hidden among the people have also felt it. So, there's no need to do it again! After speaking, Wang Xu slowly turned around and walked under the high platform. Everyone, let's go! Just leave it to my second brother here. β
On the way back to the city, Wang Xu quickly got rid of the discomfort caused by the massacre, and remembered what Wang Rui said. However, Guo Jia saw that Wang Xu had been silent, and he was a little worried. After watching it several times, I couldn't help but get rid of the officials who were talking happily in the dialect behind me, chased after Wang Xu, and asked in a low voice, "What is the lord thinking?" β
"Huh?" Wang Xu, who came back to his senses, turned his head and saw that it was Guo Jia, but he didn't want to hide it, and looked back at the other officials who were still a little farther behind, and laughed in a low voice: "I'm thinking about what Wang Rui said before!" β
Guo Jia is such a smart person, Wang Xu immediately reacted when he mentioned it. "Lord, are you thinking about what he said?"
"Yes!" Wang Xu nodded solemnly. "Feng Xiao doesn't know, Liu Biao in the north is the assassin of the history, but now he has obtained the military and political power of Jiangxia, Nanjun and Zhangling County, what do you think is going on?"
Although Wang Xu didn't say it explicitly, after Guo Jia lowered his head and pondered for a while, he already understood the strangeness, and said with a smile: "It must have been instructed by someone!" β
Seeing Guo Jiana's calm expression, Wang Xu knew that he had figured out that someone was He Jin, but he didn't say it explicitly. He immediately smiled and said, "Yes! It is precisely what he instructed, and only he can not only take the responsibility of acting beyond his authority for Liu Biao, but also make Liu Biao attached to him. β
"What does the lord mean is that his purpose in letting Liu Biao take power may be to fight against the lord?" Guo Jia thought about it and asked.
"That's right! Liu BiaoxiΓ n is in power, which no longer means much to He Jin, after all, the four counties of Jingbei are very supportive of him fighting with Jian Shuo. Therefore, I have been unable to figure out some things in the past few days, and I don't understand why he did this, but Wang Rui's words just now reminded me. Saying that, Wang Xu didn't continue, but glanced at Guo Jia meaningfully, waiting for him to think about it himself.
Guo Jia is not a party after all, and he is not particularly familiar with the situation, so it took a while more this time to gradually understand, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Because the lord is too young, too talented, and deeply loved by His Majesty, he is afraid!"
Hearing this, Wang Xu immediately looked at Guo Jia with appreciation, he is worthy of being a person with a good brain, and he speaks easily. "Huh! You're right, in his thoughts. With my talent and His Majesty's love for me, when I have enough experience in the future, when I return to Beijing, My Majesty will inevitably continue to seal me. And now that I am so young, I am already a general of Zhennan, and if I continue to rise, I will reach the point where I cannot be promoted, and he is worried that I will fight with him for power in the future! β
"So, what Wang Rui said is right, he wants to use me now, use the Wang family, and there is a Jian Shuo who must be brought down first, so he must win me over and appease me. But he will definitely suppress me in the future, and he is also worried that I will resist with my military power, so he will train a Liu Biao to suppress it. β
As he spoke, Wang Xu couldn't stop sighing. I can't help but recall He Jin's words at the beginning: I remember the kindness of the year, and now it has been repaid, and I hope you will not let me down in the future!
At this moment, before and after contact, Wang Xu finally understood the psychology of He Jin when he said this. He really thanked his grandfather for his kindness, so he saved his life, and he was good to himself, which can be regarded as returning the love. At the same time, he was also worried that after he grew up rapidly, he would threaten his position, so he said the words that seemed to be expected.
Thinking of this, Wang Xu couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, and sighed long: "Hey! In fact, He Jin is really a big misunderstanding, I am really not interested in entering Beijing to be an official! Unless he gives me the general now, it won't be long before the position of the general will be useless, how can I fight with him? β
Seeing his sad face, Guo Jia also smiled, but after a while, he suddenly noticed the content of his words, and his always calm face couldn't help showing a trace of surprise. "My lord, what did you mean by this? Is the post of general useless? β
"Huh! Fengxiao, you are now my closest person, and I will not hide it from you. In fact, as far as I can speculate, within a year, the world will be in chaos. At that time, the position of general will naturally not have much effect. Wang Xu smiled affirmatively.
When Guo Jia heard this, he disagreed with it very much, and immediately shook his head. "Lord, this is too early to say, although there are many powerful and powerful, thieves are everywhere, the people are helpless, and the chaos in the world is only a matter of time, but it should not be so fast!"
Saying that, Guo Jia frowned and pondered for a moment before he spoke again: "In my opinion, it will be at least a few years later, after all, the current imperial court is still very prestigious, and the heroes in various places are not strong enough." If I can't say a year, I don't believe it. Unless ......"
Speaking of this, Guo Jia was suddenly stunned and looked at Wang Xu in a daze.
Seeing this, Wang Xu couldn't help but glance at Guo Jia narrowly. "Unless what?"
"Unless the main army of the imperial court fights a few defeats, it is exhausted and completely loses its prestige. But this is obviously impossible, even if it is to fight, it must be to dispatch soldiers and horses from various places to fight, unless it is a big turmoil like the Yellow Turban Uprising, otherwise the imperial court may not use the base. Therefore, external strife is unlikely for the time being, there is only internal strife, and the key to internal strife is in His Majesty's ......" Speaking of this, Guo Jia paused, unable to continue.
But Wang Xu already understood that Guo Jia thought of it, and he had to admire it in his heart, and he knew that it was because of his familiarity with history. And the other party can grasp so much by inference, although he can't calculate that the Spirit Emperor will die suddenly, but he can also take into account this situation, which shows his talent.
Seeing that he was hindered by the thoughts of the literati and could not say that kind of rebellious thing, Wang Xu couldn't help but take over the words, and said with a worried face: "Yes, His Majesty is still there, so civil strife is impossible." At most, the external strife accumulates into a lot, becomes more and more severe, and finally causes great turmoil, but this requires a relatively long process. But the fact is that His Majesty has been sick for many years, and he is addicted to alcohol on weekdays, and he hardly pays attention to his body. You also know that I know a lot about medicine, and as far as I can see, if your majesty continues like this, I'm afraid it won't last long! β
"I also persuaded His Majesty at the beginning, but he didn't listen to it! Even though I love me, I can't listen to a lot of advice, so I've done my best. Saying that, Wang Xu thought of Emperor Ling's stubborn and radical appearance, and he really shook his head helplessly. That's why I don't want to go back to Beijing! Because I know that if there is an accident in the world, Luoyang will be in chaos. In particular, many of His Majesty's princes died early and did not survive, and the two princes who survived were young, and the current turmoil in the court and China was already turbulent enough, wouldn't it be completely chaotic at that time? I'm afraid that the heroes everywhere are not so obedient to commands! β
"If I am asked to be a general now and hold the power, I have the confidence to change this qiΔ, but His Majesty is not trusting enough, the general is unwilling to let go of power, and the ministers are unwilling to listen to me, a hairy boy, so it is just wishful thinking. When he is qualified to compete for the general in the future, the world will not know what the chaos will become! β
As he spoke, Wang Xu looked at Guo Jia, but he was silent and stopped speaking. And Guo Jia also rarely frowned for a long time and fell into deep thought......
