Chapter 424: Surprised

In the end, if it wasn't for the minister who led the troops to go out, he would have won the battle of Dongdan, and the minister was not greedy for life and afraid of death. ”

Li Zhong: "......"

Zhang Wu's 100,000 soldiers against the 60,000 soldiers of the Dongdan Kingdom, or when the Tong family army has been fighting with those 60,000 soldiers for a long time, can they not win?

I really don't know where this Zhang Wu's face came from, it seems that as long as he wins the battle, no matter what despicable means he uses, it is a very glorious thing.

also used his low background to sympathize with the emperor.

Ying Zhan: "......"

One thing, Zhang Wu is right.

Tong Yutang did advance lightly after winning a few battles.

At that time, he said that he asked Tong Jiajun to wait for Zhang Wu to arrive at the border pass, and then fight to the death with Dongdan State.

But Tong Yutang was a little drifting after a few victories, thinking that the battle of Dayan Mountain could still be easily won.

As a result, the Dongdan Kingdom ambushed 300,000 elite soldiers there.

Of course, in addition to underestimating the enemy's rash advance, Tong Yutang is loyal to the imperial court and loyal to the northern Linguo is also true.

Otherwise, I won't use my life to defend my family and country!

"Low birth is not the reason why you are not on the right path." Facing the skillful Zhang Wu, Ying Zhan didn't like it, "As a general, the strategy should be used on the battlefield and on the enemy, but you use the strategy on your own people, this is a bastard behavior of the dead!" ”

Zhang Wu: "Minister......"

Ying Zhan: "Okay, you don't need to say anything else, if it weren't for the final victory of the Dongdan Kingdom, I would have slashed you with a knife right now to commemorate the Tong family's army!" ”

Zhang Wu: "......"

Listening to the emperor's meaning, he seems to have a way to live?

Ying Zhan: "In the first battle of the Dongdan Kingdom, you have no merit and hard work, for the sake of your lack of treason, and finally win the victory, I will not take your life, but your official title must be withdrawn." ”

Zhang Wu paused slightly, still reluctant to have his rights.

But under the pressure of the emperor, he finally answered "yes".

At this time, as long as you can live, what rights do you need?

Ying Zhan: "What you do by yourself, you have to bear the consequences, I will tell the world the truth about the first battle of the Dongdan Kingdom, and I can't let the Tong family be wronged, let alone let hundreds of thousands of Tong family soldiers die unjustly." ”

Zhang Wu: "Yes. ”

Ying Zhan pointed to the table next to Zhang Wu, and on the table was the wine that scared Zhang Wu out of his soul, "You and I are also a monarch and minister, for the sake of you who have also worked hard for the court, if you drink this glass of wine, it will be regarded as me giving you food." ”

After speaking, Ying Zhan took the wine cup in front of him and took a sip meaningfully.

He only drinks boldly in the face of loyal ministers who can be seen.

The emperor had already drunk it first, but Zhang Wu stared at the wine cup on the table and didn't dare to drink it.

He said everything, why do you still drink?

What a candied meal, it sounds like the last glass of wine!

But although he was afraid of death in his heart, he didn't dare not drink.

Otherwise, if you are not poisoned by poisonous wine, you will also be given death by the emperor.

His gaze fell on the blue and white porcelain wine cup.

He saw it when the palace maid poured wine before.

The wine in the emperor's cup and the wine in his cup were poured out of the same wine jug.

But he is a person who has seen the world and knows that there is a kind of mandarin duck wine jug.

There is a switch on the handle of the pot, pressing the switch is good wine, and pressing the switch again is poisonous wine.

In addition, some people will apply a layer of poison powder to the rim of the cup.

All in all, Zhang Wu's mind is now full of the emperor wanting to poison him.

At this time, Li Zhong on the side said: "General Zhang, the emperor has drunk, why are you still in a daze?" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Wu can be regarded as holding the wine cup.

Looking at the clear wine in the wine cup, but who would have thought that it was poisonous wine?

He took a deep breath, looked like he was at home, and finally raised his head and drank the wine in his glass.

A glass of wine entered his throat, Zhang Wu thought that there would be a burning sensation of poisonous wine, but in fact he didn't.

Yes, it's just the spicy sensation of the liquor in the throat.

Zhang Wu raised his eyebrows, looking surprised.

Ying Zhan saw the surprise in Zhang Wu's eyes, "Aiqing, don't think too much, I came to you today to ask you to drink and discuss your dismissal." ”

Zhang Wu let out an embarrassed and polite smile, but he was still extremely surprised in his heart.

He committed such a heinous crime, and the emperor actually spared him from death?

Is this still the cold-blooded and ruthless Emperor Beilin with iron-blooded wrists in the eyes of everyone?

After touching a cup of tea, Zhang Wu kowtowed to the emperor three times, "Minister, thank you for the emperor's grace not to kill!" ”

Then he took his leave.

After Zhang Wu left, as soon as Ying Zhan turned around, he saw Li Zhong standing behind him with a puzzled expression.

Ying Zhan smiled lowly, "You don't understand why I left Zhang Wu alive?" ”

Li Zhong immediately shook his head and denied it, "The slave doesn't dare to figure out your thoughts, let alone think more about the affairs of the court, all the slave thinks about is what kind of meal you will eat at noon today." ”

Ying Zhan turned his head and said in an indifferent tone, "Do you think, Zhang Wu has no official titles, no rights in hand, and I have told the world that he is the culprit in the battle of Dongdan Kingdom, and Tong Jiajun and Tong Yutang have always been supported by the people, what do you guess will happen to Zhang Wu in the end?" ”

Li Zhong instantly understood, "In this way, Zhang Wu will become a street rat in the eyes of the common people!" ”

Ying Zhan: "Not only the common people, but the rest of the Tong family army will definitely not be able to tolerate Zhang Wu." ”

Li Zhong patted his ass with admiration: "The emperor is wise!" ”

This time in the case of the Tong family's army, some people said that the Tong family was the master.

If the emperor executes Zhang Wu again, it will inevitably be discussed.

The emperor knew that Zhang Wu had no rights and officials, just like fish on a chopping board, he could only be slaughtered.

Both horizontally and vertically are dead, and the emperor will not be that wicked man.

Because the emperor is a wicked person, he will inevitably be criticized.

But if Zhang Wu dies in the hands of the common people and the Tong family, it will be justified.

Otherwise, Zhang Wu's bad behavior is not an exaggeration.

On the same day, Ying Zhan issued a holy decree, as follows:

"Fengtian carried the emperor's edict and said: Zhang Wu, the general of Zhenguo, slacked off his duties in the first battle of Dongdan and robbed the dead Tong Du for his united front work.

and repeatedly abused power for personal gain, robbed subordinates of their military exploits, and used dead heads to fill the number, which greatly disrespected the temple and society.

Now all the officials and titles are dismissed, demoted to commoners, remembered their past merits, exempted from capital crimes, and never allowed to enter Beijing, and all the family property in the palace is filled into the treasury. Chin this! ”

Not only that, but those officials large and small who formed a party with Zhang Wu in the past were full of troops.

Exile of exile.

Jailed for jail.

The decapitation of the decapitation.

Especially the important minister of the DPRK who recommended Zhang Wu, he directly copied his house and asked for beheading after the autumn.

At the same time, the emperor also posthumously awarded Concubine Jing's father Tong Yutang a first-class meritorious service in the Battle of Dongdanguo.

For the dead men of the Tong family, almost all of them were posthumously knighted.

As for Concubine Jing's brother Tong Qinghan, the son is the son of his father.

The emperor also gave him a rich reward.

Tong Qinghan expressed his gratitude to the emperor on the spot for letting the Tong family clear their grievances in just a few months, and will continue to follow Emperor Beilin to the death and be loyal to Beilinguo.
