The idea of the people is simple.

They supported him because he was the god of war of Sirin; They despised him because he had betrayed Cillin.

And, no betrayal deserves to be forgiven.

Time slipped away from his fingers, and three o'clock in the afternoon had quietly arrived, and Gonggong Wei glanced at the brighter and brighter sun, knowing that Zhai Wenchong would not come.

He let out a long sigh, "Old lady, it's not that Your Majesty is ruthless, it's that Zhai Wenchong has abandoned you." ”

There was already a daughter of the Zhai family, who couldn't stand this kind of torture and cried and fainted on the execution table. The childish man who didn't care about the world knelt there in ignorance, and some were at a loss to look at the people who were crying and howling, and the innocent and pitiful look was like the grass in the wind and rain.

The old woman was silent, the Zhai family was destroyed in her hands, and she could not escape the blame even if she died.

Father-in-law Wei seemed to be unable to bear to continue to criticize the old lady in her old age, he paced in front of the Zhai family and said loudly: "Zhai Yongbin, you still have something to say." ”

Zhai Yongbin replied expressionlessly, "The criminal has nothing to say." ”

My father has been in the top position for a long time, and he is used to giving orders, even if he treats his wife and children at home, he is the same as in the barracks.

He said east, and they never dared to go west; He said to kneel, and they never dared to stand.

The prosperity of the Zhai family was achieved by him; The destruction of the Zhai family was also caused by him.

Now that he has suffered this catastrophe, he has nothing to say. Because his father was selfish and bent on going his own way, the nine clans were all implicated, and Zhai Yongbin could not be said to be hateful.

It's just that what about hate, he will soon not see the sun of tomorrow. People die like lights go out, and all love and hatred seem so insignificant.

It was three o'clock in the afternoon, and Gonggong Wei knew that he couldn't wait any longer, so he glanced around, and saw that everyone had closed their eyes in despair, and waved his hand helplessly.

There are always a few helpless things in life, he has no grievances with them, but they have to die!

Seeing this, the prison officer dragged his voice and shouted, "Execution!" ”

As soon as the glamorous broadsword was raised, warm blood splattered, and blood flowed like a river on the execution table.

Such a tragic situation is like a hell of a nose, and it is shocking to watch.

The timid people couldn't help but vomit, scattered like birds and beasts, and went away in embarrassment.

Life and death are just a moment, the mandate of heaven is inviolable, and the emperor's mandate is still inviolable.

Gonggong Wei returned to the palace and reported today's various things in 1510. The emperor's eyes were full of red silk, and it was obvious that Zhai Wenchong's rebellion made him very worried and unable to sleep.

"I know," the emperor held his hands behind his back and was silent for a long time, before he whispered, "Go out for a walk with me." ”

The emperor walked around the palace aimlessly, and when he turned to the imperial garden, he saw the five princes playing chess with the queen in the pavilion.

"The queen mother, the son-in-law lost again." The fifth prince shrugged his head and said dejectedly, "The queen mother is good at chess, and the son is convinced." ”

Five consecutive defeats in five sets, such a record is really a bit embarrassing.

The courage to admit one's own shortcomings is a rare quality. The queen touched his head lovingly, "The emperor is gifted and intelligent, and in time, he will definitely be able to surpass the queen mother." ”

"Is what the queen mother said true?"

The queen smiled shallowly, and it was gorgeous in an instant. She said gently, "When did the Queen Mother deceive you?" ”

The unhappiness in the heart of the fifth prince was suddenly swept away, and he sincerely saluted the queen, "The queen mother, the sons and daughters must work hard, and they will definitely not live up to the expectations of the queen mother." ”

Gonggong Wei stepped forward and said in a low voice: "The queen mother is virtuous and virtuous, broad-minded, and she is a model of the harem. The fifth prince is from the concubine, but he is extremely close to the queen, and His Majesty can rest assured. ”

The emperor was silent, he took a deep look at the smiling empress, and turned to leave.

Turning and turning, the emperor's footsteps paused, and then he realized that he had turned to Concubine Shu. The original palatial palace lost its popularity and became empty.

"Open the door."

Gonggong Wei wanted to stop him, but the king had already made up his mind, so he had to step forward and open the heavy palace door.

When the emperor walked into the hall, he only saw the mess all over the ground, the tables and chairs, and the fragments of various porcelain, interlaced vertically, and for a while, he didn't know how to put his feet.

The lady's cloak is scattered, without powder, her face is sallow, and she is described as withered.

"Your Majesty," she ran barefoot and knelt at his feet, begging humbly, "the concubine knows that she is wrong, your majesty will spare the concubine." ”

Since she was imprisoned in the cold palace, she has cut off contact with the outside of the palace, she has not asked the maids and minions, but they dare not answer her questions.

Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, the originally arrogant and domineering lady concubine Niangniang has become a water dog that no one pays attention to.

The emperor looked at her coldly and said nothing.

He used to dot on her, but when her brother became more and more powerful and presumptuous in front of him, his feelings changed.

Over the years, she has relied on Zhai Wenchong, domineering and arrogant in the palace, he has turned a blind eye and endured hard work.

The emperor waved his hand, and Gonggong Wei stepped forward and whispered, "Niangniang, Zhai Wenchong betrayed Xilin and established himself as king." ”

Concubine Shu was startled, and her body trembled violently.

"Zhai Wenchong committed the crime of treason, and the crime should be exterminated by the nine clans. His Majesty had a benevolent heart and gave him a chance, if he was willing to return to Beijing to confess his guilt, everyone in the General's Mansion would be exempted from the death penalty. ”

In other words, either one person dies, or more than a hundred people die!

Concubine Shu's body trembled, and the hand holding the emperor's leg slowly loosened.

"However, until three o'clock in the afternoon today, Zhai Wenchong has not appeared."

Concubine Shu's tears fell like rain, she raised her head in despair, her eyes were empty, and she couldn't see everything clearly.

"Niangniang, the fifth prince..."

Hearing the five princes, Concubine Shu's empty eyes slowly gained focus.

"The five princes and the queen get along very well, so the mother can rest assured."

Concubine Shu suddenly looked up to the sky and smiled, and her tears gathered into a stream, falling down her cheeks.

How ridiculous her life is! has lived most of his life, has been pampered, and has enjoyed all the glory and wealth.

When it came, the husband changed his mind, but the son he had worked hard to give birth to was close to other women and did not recognize her as a mother. Even the brothers who supported each other treated her as an outcast and threw her in the palace to fend for herself.

The Emperor looked at her as if she was crazy, her eyes full of pity and ulcers.

"Lady Lady, I came to see you for the last time, you can do it yourself."

This was his last mercy. The Emperor gave her a deep look and turned to leave.

Grandpa Wei sighed and followed.

The door of the cold palace is closed again, one door, two worlds, earth and hell.

The next day, the emperor received the news that Concubine Shu had committed suicide, and he was silent for a moment, "You can watch and handle this matter." ”

Sinners are not eligible to be buried in royal tombs.

After burying the concubine, Gonggong Wei hurried back to the palace, he didn't have time to wash off the dust of his body, and hurriedly went to see the emperor.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong."

"What's so alarming?"

Gonggong Wei quickly reported, "The servants just received the news, and now, the rebellious minister and thief Zhai Wenchong has captured twelve cities. Your Majesty, in such a situation, in a few days, he will besiege the capital. ”

The emperor was furious, "Where are the local defenders? A bunch of rice buckets! ”

Gonggong Wei wiped the sweat drops from his forehead, "Your Majesty, the 500,000 army that Zhai Wenchong took away is the elite of my Xilin, and the local defenders are naturally not his opponents." ”

The emperor walked around anxiously, "Zhai Wenchong! "What he hates is gritting his teeth, and he can't hate to break him into pieces.

Gonggong Wei suddenly knelt down and said in a dumb voice, "Your Majesty, Zhai Wenchong is under the guise of Qingjun's side, it is better for Your Majesty to hand over the old slave, if you can let him withdraw from the army, the old slave will also die a well-deserved death." ”

The emperor gently helped Gonggong Wei up, and he sighed, "Why should I bow my head to a rebellious minister and thief, and spread the word, where is there still a foothold for me between these four countries." I know that you are dedicated to me, and you can rest assured that as long as I am alive, I will never let the rebels and thieves step here. ”

Father-in-law Wei wiped his tears, and before he could speak, he saw a little eunuch hurriedly walking in.

"Your Majesty, this is a letter of state sent by Dongqi."

The emperor looked puzzled, "Dongqi? He quickly opened the national credentials, and his face was red and white for a while.

Gonggong Wei waved his hand, and the little eunuch hurriedly went down.

"What a great idea."

Gonggong Wei was puzzled, "Your Majesty, what does Dongqi mean?" ”

The emperor sneered, "The Emperor of Eastern Qi is really good enough in this abacus, saying that he is willing to help me kill Zhai Wenchong." ”

"What are the conditions for Dongqi?"

There is no pie-in-the-sky beauty in this world, and Dongqi is so enthusiastic, it must be ill-intentioned and wolf-like.

"Dongqi wants to make peace and designate the king to send his relatives."

Gonggong Wei frowned, and asked puzzledly, "Your Majesty has many princes, why did Dongqi only designate His Royal Highness King Ding." What's more, Dongqi's painstaking attack on Zhai Wenchong was just for the sake of harmony? ”

The emperor was silent, his brows furrowed, full of anxiety.

He was silent for a long time, and then he said unwillingly, "I know that Dongqi has ill intentions, but now, Xilin is in danger, and I have no other way. ”

Right now, whether it's a trap or not, he can only jump in and take a look, and take one step at a time.

The worst plan is nothing more than a fish to die and the net is broken.

Gonggong Wei was silent, he sighed heavily, this Xilin's sky, I'm afraid it's going to change.

Emperor Dongqi received Xilin's reply and immediately announced that Qi Xiaoyun had entered the palace.

"Sure enough, as expected by the emperor, the situation in Xilin is very grim now."

Qi Xiaoyun replied coldly, "This is expected. ”

"The emperor seems to be very optimistic about Lin Yuwen?"

"Returning to my father," Qi Xiaoyun answered his questions 1510, "Lin Yuwen, the king of Xilinding, is deep in mind and good at scheming, if he waits for him to be full-fledged, he will inevitably become a big trouble for Dongqi in the future." ”

If you want to prevent it from happening, you can only strangle the sprouts in the soil and remove the roots from the soil, so that he has no possibility of growing at all.

"What does the emperor want to do?"

Qi Xiaoyun said without a trace of emotion, "If you can't use it for me, then kill him." If you can't kill him, let him jump under his nose. ”

"The princess of Xilin?"

"And kiss."

"What about Zhai Wenchong?"

Chaotic ministers and thieves, confusing the dynasty, "He deserves to die!" ”

I don't know if it's his delusion, the emperor feels that his son, who is already cold like a stone, is becoming more and more unkind.

In the first year of Tianshun, the king of heaven Zhai Wenchong fought in the east and west, and successively captured fifteen cities in Xilin, and Xilin Kyoto was in danger.

"Heavenly King, why don't you go all out in one go?"

Zhai Wenchong said in a deep voice: "The capital is heavily guarded, and it is not easy to conquer it in one fell swoop. ”

The adjutant general disagreed and said, "Heavenly King, now that morale is booming, why not take advantage of this?" If the capital is captured, the Tianshun regime can be further consolidated. ”
