Chapter 700: Life Choices
Gongsun Xiong and Limu both looked at the wide open city gate in a daze, but they didn't see a single soldier inside, and they didn't know what kind of medicine Wang Chongyang was selling in the gourd.
Wang Chongyang continued to say to Gongsun Xiong on the city tower, "General Gongsun, I think that you and I met and knew each other that day, and it has been a long time now, have I ever owed anything to the general?" ”
Gongsun Xiong's face moved when he heard this, he looked up at Wang Chongyang, and immediately arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty treats the minister with the grace of recreation, if it is not for Your Majesty's appreciation, the minister is still a blind stream on the streets of Guangyan Miaole Country at this time!" ”
Wang Chongyang didn't have the slightest expression on his face, and continued, "At that time, you were reused as the general to protect the country, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty had scruples because you were not a person who was glorious and beautiful, do I still reuse the general?" ”
As soon as Gongsun Xiong heard this, he immediately replied, "Your Majesty can't help but reuse the ministers despite the public opinion, and give the ministers full military power, so that the ministers can repay the hatred of the extermination!" ”
Wang Chongyang continued to ask, "There was a battle of the corpse country before, the general, you were defeated and returned to the court, and the ministers asked me to punish you heavily, I just deprived you of the title of general who protected the country, and there are no more soldiers, and you are still allowed to wear the guilt and make meritorious service, is it okay?" ”
When Gongsun Xiong heard this, he lowered his head in shame and muttered in his mouth, "Your Majesty, don't say it again, it's the minister who can't live with you, Your Majesty!" ”
Wang Chongyang stood on the city tower and continued, "General Gongsun, in addition to being the Minister of Military Aircraft entrusted by me, you are also my father-in-law, and Ling Ai Gongsun Rong is the queen that I am marrying, do you still remember that you still have this identity?" ”
Gongsun Xiong jumped off the horse's back and bowed to Wang Chongyang, "Your Majesty ......"
But before Gongsun Xiong could speak, Li Mu immediately jumped off his horse and walked quickly to Gongsun Xiong's side, and said in a deep voice, "Big brother, don't forget the second brother's instructions, this is not the time for a woman's kindness!" ”
Gongsun Xiong's face changed several times, and when he was depressed in his heart, on the one hand, Wang Chongyang's kindness, on the other hand, his brotherhood, and his two daughters were mixed in the middle, and he only felt a dilemma for a while.
Wang Chongyang stood in the city tower, looked at the Gongsun Xiong who was propped up, and continued, "Now that the city gate has been opened, I will sit on this city tower and wait for you, how the general chooses, it depends on the general's own!" ”
Limu immediately said in Gongsun Xiong's ear, "Big brother, the military strength of Guangyan Miaole Country is less than three thousand, and there are tens of thousands of troops behind us, even if it is stepping, it will also level this royal city, if it is unified today, only Guangyan Miaole Country is left, and the great cause of the eldest brother will be accomplished, why hesitate and entangle here, this Zhang Yang wisdom is tricky, even if he is a disciple of Huang Laojun, with my tens of thousands of troops, it is not enough to be afraid, I expect that there will be no one in this city, he deliberately opened the door, just to scare the eldest brother!" ”
Gongsun Ba also jumped off his horse at this moment, walked quickly to Gongsun Xiong's side and said, "Father, what Your Majesty said is very true, Your Majesty treats you well, if you sentence him today, even if you ascend the throne, others will say that your throne is not right!" ”
Limu said, "The throne of the world is inhabited by capable people, eldest brother, you have both ability and political integrity, and you are the best candidate, what is wrong?" ”
Gongsun Ba immediately said, "Father, the most basic thing to be a human being is faithfulness, Your Majesty knew that you had different intentions, or handed over the army to your command, with Your Majesty slaughtering the heavens, exterminating the ability of the Emperor, why do you need to pretend to borrow the hands of others to dominate the world, Father, Your Majesty is giving you this opportunity to make meritorious contributions, haven't you thought about this problem?" ”
When Gongsun Xiong heard this, his face suddenly moved, he had indeed thought about this problem at that time, but he was often diverted from the topic by the two of them singing duets with Fengyan and Limu, so he didn't think about it.
Coupled with the war after that, there was no time to think about it, and the war has been triumphant since then, and wherever Gongsun Xiong went, he looked at the wind and surrendered, and Gongsun Xiong's mood was also a little inflated.
Now that I think about it, it was Wang Chongyang who killed Chi You, after Chi You died, although he held the military power, but the banner he played was still the banner of Guangyan Miaole Country, in the final analysis, people were not afraid of his grandson Xiong, but afraid of Wang Chongyang.
Gongsun Rong'er on the city tower also said to Gongsun Xiong at this time, "Father, my sister is right, now you are my father, and Your Majesty is my husband, do you have to be like this, let your daughter choose one of the two?" ”
Gongsun Xiong looked up at Gongsun Rong when he heard this, and looked at Gongsun Rong in a daze for a long time, then he sighed, "It's okay, it's okay!" ”
Seeing this, Limu immediately said, "Big brother, you won't be stupid enough to really go into the city by yourself, right?" Zhang Yang knows that you have an antipathy, how can he easily spare you, what happened to Wang Zhan back then, don't you know ......"
Gongsun Xiong sighed again, "Now for the sake of this throne, the monarchs and ministers are not monarchs and ministers, and the father and daughter are not like the father and daughter, even if they ascend to the throne in the end, what is the point of betraying their relatives and leaving?" ”
Limu immediately said, "Big brother, since ancient times, it has always been so ...... to become a king and defeat a king."
Gongsun Xiong turned around and patted Limu on the shoulder, and before he finished speaking, he immediately said, "Third child, you don't have to say much, I know that these words are not your original intention, it's just that the second child asked you to persuade me like this!" ”
Limu immediately wanted to argue something, but Gongsun Xiong immediately said, "I have already thought very clearly, what is the meaning of sitting on the throne so treacherously?? And have you ever thought that if I betray Your Majesty today, he may carry you and the second child one day, do you want my eldest brother to be this kind of person? ”
Limu heard Gongsun Xiong say this, and sighed, "Big brother, what the second brother wants me to say, I have finished what I want to persuade, now it's time to say what I mean, I still say the same thing, you make any choice, Limu is on your side!" ”
Gongsun Xiong patted Limu's shoulder hard, "Good brother, the eldest brother can get to know you and the second brother in this life, which is also a blessing in this life, and we will be brothers again without resentment in this life, and we will continue to be brothers in the next life!" ”
After saying that, Gongsun Xiong immediately walked towards the city gate, Limu immediately followed when he saw this, Gongsun Ba also followed, Gongsun Xiong saw this and turned around and persuaded Limu and Gongsun Ba, "This matter is all because of me alone, you don't need to accompany me to death!" ”
Limu also patted Gongsun Xiong's shoulder and said, "Being a brother has no afterlife in this life, for so many years, I have been following the eldest brother, and I have long regarded the eldest brother as my own brother, the eldest brother lives and lives, and the eldest brother dies and never lives!" ”
Gongsun Ba said on the side, "Father, Uncle Li, it's not what you said, I believe Your Majesty won't do this to you!" ”
Gongsun Xiong and Limu looked at each other and smiled, since the two brothers had already made such a choice, they had already put life and death aside, and the two walked towards the city gate with their shoulders on their shoulders.
When Gongsun Xiong, Limu and Gongsun Ba entered the city gate, the city gate immediately closed with a bang, and then a hundred and ten soldiers appeared, who stepped forward and immediately surrounded the three of them.
Gongsun Xiong looked at these soldiers ready to go, their faces expressionless, and secretly sighed that their limit was approaching, and then said to the soldiers, "Come on! As he spoke, he closed his eyes.
And at this moment, Wang Chongyang on the city tower had already walked down, followed by the civil and military officials of Guangyan Miaole Country, and a group of people walked in front of Gongsun Xiong.
Gongsun Xiong didn't open his eyes until he heard his daughter Gongsun Rong call her father, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but be stunned.
But seeing Wang Chongyang walking quickly in front of Gongsun Xiong at this time, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Gongsun Xiong's hand, "General Gongsun, welcome home!" ”
Gongsun Xiong couldn't help but be stunned, "Go home? ”
Wang Chongyang said, "Everything will go to the court!" ”
The group immediately marched towards the court, and when Wang Chongyang was sitting behind the court, the civil and military officials knelt on both sides.
Gongsun Xiong Ze and his two daughters, as well as Limu knelt in front of Wang Chongyang.
Wang Chongyang sighed and said, "My throne was also ordered to be in danger, my master Huang Laojun ordered me to go down the mountain to fight against Chi You and save the people of the world. ”
The ministers knelt on top of the court, not understanding what Wang Chongyang meant by what he suddenly said.
Wang Chongyang continued, "I think I have had a bad life, and since I ascended the throne, there have been many dissatisfactions with the court workers, presumably because of my weak virtue and talent, and now General Gongsun leads the army to dominate the world, and my Guangyan Miaole Country's sphere of influence is not just as big as it used to be, but has allowed the world, and the world is one family, so our Guangyan Miaole Country title can not be used!" This will cause dissatisfaction among the people of other small countries that have surrendered or conquered, as if we were xenophobic. Since the world is unified, it is necessary to use a unified new name, and all the names of countries and tribes will be abolished, and naturally we will also include our Guangyan Miaole country, which is now called Huaxia! ”
As soon as everyone heard this, they whispered, abolishing the national name and establishing a new one, which is not a trivial matter.
Gongsun Xiong's heart moved, "Isn't this the same as I originally thought?" Integrate all the scattered nations and tribes to build a whole new nation. Chinese? Good name. ”
Wang Chongyang didn't want his ministers to express his opinions, so he immediately got up and said, "This matter is so decided, who has any objections?" As he spoke, he glared angrily at the court.
Now Wang Chongyang is no longer the monarch who has just ascended to the throne and has not dried up, but the founder of the world, who has established the country of Guangyan Miaole for the merits of Guangyan Miaole Country, all the predecessors of the monarchs are not so big combined, who dares to have any opinions, and they all bow down and applaud.
Wang Chongyang nodded with satisfaction, walked down from the throne, walked in front of Gongsun Xiong, and stretched out his hand to help Gongsun Xiong.
Gongsun Xiong lowered his head tremblingly, not knowing what Wang Chongyang was going to do with him.
I don't want Wang Chongyang to say at this time, "Everyone has everyone's merits, my merits have been accomplished, and the next thing is up to you!" ”
Gongsun Xiong looked up at Wang Chongyang in a daze, not understanding what Wang Chongyang meant.
But I heard Wang Chongyang say again at this time, "I announce that from today onwards, I will step back from the monarch and hand it over to Gongsun Xiong, so that he can lead our Chinese nation to continue to move forward!" ”
Everyone present was blinded, and now they are still reminiscing about Wang Chongyang's foreign name, and now there is another bombshell, he actually wants to abdicate, and he wants to give way to Gongsun Xiong, who has just forced the city with a large army.
Gongsun Xiong was also stunned, looked at Wang Chongyang, didn't reflect for a while, and said in a daze, "Your Majesty, what did you say?" ”
