No one expected Wang Mang to say such a thing, even Wang Jitang himself didn't expect it, and the words that were originally brewing on his lips couldn't help but be taken back.

Wang Mang knew that his words would surprise everyone, and he didn't care, he looked at Wang Jitang and said: "Your choice is very correct, I won't kill you, but what you committed is a great crime of rebellion after all, and it is not enough to convince people if you don't punish it, that is, the so-called capital crime can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, for this, what kind of punishment do you think you should bear." ”

Wang Jitang was shocked again, he didn't expect Wang Mang to let go of his life so lightly, under the great joy and sorrow, his expression finally changed, and he lowered his head and said: "The guilty minister deserves death, it is a great luck to be forgiven by His Majesty and escape with his life, how dare he ask for anything else, everything is up to His Majesty." ”

Everyone in the tent was very satisfied with Wang Jitang's answer, they all came to quell the rebellion, as the second person in the anti-thief, Wang Jitang's head is still very valuable, and now such a valuable head is sent to the door by himself, the big guy is originally a little resistant, isn't this reducing everyone's credit?

If Wang Jitang showed some arrogant attitude, everyone would make the Son of Heaven angry, and they would make Wang Jitang unable to eat and go, but seeing that Wang Jitang had such a correct attitude, everyone understood that this person not only saved his life, but also had a good future in the future.

Being an official in the court, in addition to doing things, being a man is also very important, and even sometimes, being a man is far more important than doing things.

As a party concerned, Wang Jitang also felt the changes of the people around him, and he was happy in his heart, knowing that this had slightly reduced everyone's hostility towards him, and what he had to do in the future was to have a good relationship with everyone and completely integrate into the court.

Seeing that Wang Jitang was so aware of current affairs, Wang Mang nodded secretly and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, how did you deal with Wang Jitang's situation before?"

Everyone couldn't help but slander, your Son of Heaven has pardoned Wang Jitang's capital crimes, what do you let them say, you can't say that they used to cut off their heads and sacrifice flags!

Fortunately, when this situation was encountered before, they were not all killed, and all the people present were all pillars of the imperial court, all of them were knowledgeable and talented, and they were also familiar with historical allusions.

Soon, Li Hong was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, in the tenth year of the Qianyuan Dynasty, the king of Luoyang did not obey the imperial edict and rebelled, and the rebellion was quickly quelled by the imperial court. ”

Li Hong's words are to take away all the titles of Wang Jitang and flow into ordinary people, which is an extremely heavy punishment.

But if Li Hong said that it was heavy, Haifeng said that it was even heavier, Haifeng said directly: "What Lord Li said, the minister thought it was inappropriate, Fengxiang thirteen years, King Min repeatedly disrespected the Son of Heaven in his words, the Son of Heaven was angry, removed all the titles of King Min, and the whole family was exiled to the clouds. ”

Haifeng said ruthlessly, King Min just offended the Son of Heaven with his words, so he was exiled by the whole family, and he has not been allowed to return to the dynasty, and what Wang Jitang committed was a more serious crime of rebellion than King Min, and if he didn't kill his head, he was magnanimous, according to Haifeng's meaning, at least he had to be exiled with his family like King Min, and he would live in a bitter cold place for the rest of his life.

Wang Jitang made Li Hong and Haifeng's faces change slightly, he had done his homework on the ministers of the imperial court, and he was familiar with both of them, but he didn't expect these two ministers who were barely old to be so ruthless to her, which made Wang Jitang can't help but have doubts about his choice.

Fortunately, not all the people present today felt that Wang Jitang deserved to die, Wang Yongji looked at Wang Jitang, but stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Li Shangshu and Lord Hai said is very correct, but whether it is King Min or King Luoyang, what they committed happened at certain times, and the minister thought that he should seek truth from facts and treat him in different ways at different times. ”

"Then what do you have to say?" Li Hong said unhappily.

"I can't talk about it, just talk about it from a strategic point of view, now the imperial court sent troops to quell the rebellion, a battle was not fought, it can be said that the overall situation is stable, at this time, Wang Jitang is leading the department to surrender to the imperial court, this kind of behavior at this time, greatly improved the morale of our army, greatly weakened the momentum and strength of the rebels, it can be said that Wang Jitang's behavior is a great achievement, can you admit it?" Wang Yongji looked at the crowd.

Li Hong couldn't help but nod and said, "What Lord Wang said is reasonable, so what does Lord Wang think should be?"

"Take it lightly!" Wang Yongji said: "Your Majesty, the so-called military strategy, Weichen thinks that the imperial court should set Wang Jitang as a benchmark, attract countless rebel leaders to vote, and achieve the effect of surrendering without a fight, this is the best policy, how to deal with it, and to Your Majesty's holy judgment!"

Wang Mang glanced at Wang Yongji, and couldn't help but secretly praise that he was really a soldier to fight, which is practical, although he Wang Mang didn't know how to fight, but he also knew that at this time, he pardoned Wang Jitang and gave him generous treatment, which would have a huge impact on the morale of the rebels, I am afraid that Wang Xi, the current leader of the rebels, heard about it, and he couldn't help but be moved.

After all, the rebel ship is about to sink, this is something that anyone can see, and the people on this ship are naturally flying separately when disaster comes.

And the role played by Wang Jitang at this time is too great!

Thinking of this, Wang Mang couldn't help but glance at Wang Jitang, Wang Jitang knelt on the ground and didn't look up, but Wang Mang was thinking about whether this person had thought of this a long time ago, so he dared to come and gamble his life.

Although Wang Mang has not yet expressed his position, Wang Mang's attitude is to tell everyone that he is very inclined to Wang Yongji's words, in the face of this situation, Wang Nut broke off and said: "Your Majesty, as far as Weichen knows, Wang Jitang has a high reputation among the rebels, if you can take Wang Yongji as the vanguard, you want to conquer the rebels will have a double effect with half the effort." ”

After all, he has been fighting with the rebels for many years, and he is highly familiar with the rebels, and he himself has made many military exploits, has a great reputation, and has a high prestige among the courtiers.

Besides, Wang Jian's words are very interesting, he actually wants to take Wang Jitang's department as the vanguard, and if this battle is fought, I am afraid that Wang Jitang's department will have to be beaten by almost no one.

When the time comes, a Wang Jitang who has no power, even if he is still a prince, what is it, there are more princes in Daqin, and there are not as many people as Jiupin Sesame Officials.

"The minister thinks that General Wang's words are reasonable, and the minister seconded it!"

As the eldest grandson Wuji spoke, the other generals present all opened their mouths to express their agreement with Wang Jian's opinion, and when Wang Mang saw this, he said, "Wang Jitang, what do you think?"
