Chapter 66: The Coup of the State of Wu
Li Ao patted Zhou Jielun on the shoulder: "I came to Dasong this time to take you to Datang." ”
Zhou Jielun asked puzzledly: "The Tang Emperor also wants to listen to music?"
"Phew!" Li Ao knocked on Zhou Jielun's head: "It's on behalf of Xi'an Martial Arts Academy." ”
Zhou Jielun understood that Xi'an Martial Arts Academy wanted to recruit him.
Thinking of this, Jay Chou was a little excited.
Xi'an Martial Academy, one of the top ten martial arts academies in the Shenfeng Continent.
A place to cultivate elites, a temple of great men.
For a hundred years, Qi Guo has not entered the Xi'an Martial Arts Academy alone.
In the past ten years, of the eighteen eastern countries, only one person from the Great Song Dynasty has entered the Xi'an Martial Academy.
This person still entered the Martial Academy with a backdoor relationship and became an outer court disciple.
But it was this disciple of the outer courtyard who made the upper and lower waists of the Great Song Kingdom a little straighter.
Xi'an University has regulations that the families of the students of the college enjoy the protection of Xi'an College.
Who dares to mess with the Xi'an Martial Academy, where the teacher is the king of martial arts and the principal is the emperor of the martial arts?
Unless it's a pit with a lantern - looking for (death).
This is an opportunity that must be seized.
Thinking of this, Zhou Jielun clenched his fists: "Obey the arrangement of the holy envoy." ”
"Okay! From now on, you will be a disciple of the outer courtyard of the Xi'an Martial Academy. Li Ao took out an iron plate from his body and handed it to Jay Chou.
Zhou Jielun took the iron card, only to see that there was a word on it, which was a wild grass "Wu" word.
Li Ao explained: "This token is the identity certificate of the students of the Xi'an Martial Arts Academy. ”
Zhou Jielun put away the token: "Lord Holy Envoy, when will I report to the academy?"
Li Ao thought for a while: "You go back to Datang with me." But because I have something to deal with, I will pick you up in a month. ”
Zhou Jielun hesitated, he was worried that Wu Guoren would take revenge on his family after leaving.
Li Ao saw Zhou Jielun's thoughts, and turned to everyone: "Zhou Jielun is now a student of the Xi'an Martial Arts Academy, and is protected by the Xi'an Martial Arts Academy and the Tang Empire. At the same time, Jay Chou's relatives are also under the protection of the Xi'an Martial Arts Academy and the Tang Empire. Anyone and the country dare to do something to Zhou Jielun's relatives will be hunted down by the Tang Empire and the Xi'an Martial Academy, and the nine clans will be wiped out. ”
On the field, tens of thousands of people replied: "Obey the holy decree!"
The flying pigeon that flew from the Great Song Dynasty spread the events of what happened in the square to the eighteen countries in the eastern part of the Shenfeng Continent.
In the palace of Wu, thousands of miles away from the Great Song Dynasty, a group of people looked like Lao Tzu had died.
Emperor Wu, who was sitting on the dragon chair, looked at an old man in front of him and said, "Uncle Cousin, what should I do now?"
If Jay Chou was here, he would definitely recognize that this person was the Marshal of the Wu Army who escaped from Jiujiangkou.
To be precise, except for the secret realm killing order, all the other assassinations against Zhou Jielun were made by Marshal Wu Jun.
By the time the Emperor of Wu found out, he was already in a boat.
At first, the emperor didn't care, it was nothing more than killing a Qi countryman.
After Zhou Jielun Red Mansion killed one of the martial spirit high rank, one martial spirit middle rank, and two martial spirit junior level of Wu State, the emperor of Wu State knew that he had set up a strong enemy.
But when the news that Zhou Jielun's combat power was comparable to that of King Wu reached Wu Guo, Emperor Wu couldn't hold back anymore and couldn't care about the relationship between uncle and nephew.
Marshal Wu Jun sighed and said, "That little animal should have been killed a long time ago. ”
Emperor Wu asked dissatisfiedly: "I ask you, how to deal with it now." ”
The marshal rolled his eyes: "The soldiers are coming!"
"Who's in the way?
"The old man is old and powerless to stop the enemy. ”
Emperor Wu sneered: "It was you who provoked the trouble, but after the assassination, you jumped out of the circle, but let me bear the responsibility, Uncle Huang, do you want to destroy the Wu Kingdom? Or do you want to drive me off the dragon chair?"
The marshal may have never been treated like this, but the emperor, who had always been weak, shouted at him? ”
Emperor Wu: "It seems that the marshal has already had bad intentions. The battle of Jiujiangkou was planned by you, and as a result, 200,000 soldiers of my Wu State died in this battle. Knowing that Jay Chou had an immortal master, he deliberately arranged for someone to assassinate him, so that Jay Chou would remember this hatred on me. In the capital of Qi Kingdom, I blatantly killed the backer king's mansion and confirmed my crime. Marshal, are you still my courtier? Have you asked me?"
The marshal was angry: "As a marshal, I have the right to decide these things. ”
Wu Shen sneered: "Then let me tell you, from now on, you are no longer Marshal Wu Jun, just a criminal waiting for Zhou Jielun to beg for it." ”
"You dare!" said the marshal viciously.
Emperor Wu shouted: "Someone!"
In the front hall of the hall, five or six martial spirit middle and high ranks immediately poured out, surrounding the marshal.
When the marshal saw it, he knew that he was more than lucky.
But he still had a little hope, hoping that these people, looking at his qualifications and prestige, would raise their noble hands and let him rush out of the palace.
As long as he leaves the palace, he can recruit troops and call generals, turn against the emperor, snatch the throne, and he himself has been addicted to the emperor.
But he was wrong, these people were completely inappropriate for him, attacking wave after wave.
In the midst of the crisis, the marshal shouted: "As long as you let me out of the palace, I will be the emperor, and I will make you kings." ”
Unfortunately, no one in the hall listened to his nonsense.
Offended Zhou Jielun, offended the Xi'an Martial Academy, and still want to be the emperor?
When the marshal saw that he couldn't rush out, he rushed towards the emperor, wanting to capture the emperor as a hostage.
When he rushed to a distance of only fifteen meters from the emperor, a martial spirit garden rushed out behind the emperor, and with just one palm, the marshal was knocked to the ground.
The crowd stepped forward and locked up the marshal.
"Your Majesty, please spare your life!" the marshal knew that he was afraid at this time and begged for mercy.
It's a pity that his words just now have made Emperor Wu see his rebellion.
To spare him is to give up the throne and to commit a crime.
The emperor immediately issued a holy decree: "The generalissimo of the soldiers and horses secretly rebelled, framed the emperor, and wanted to drag the state of Wu into dire straits." The circumstances are vile! It was decided to punish his entire family. ”
As a result, a total of 313 people from the king's family were all sent to the beheading table.
In half a day, Wu carried out a major purge.
Anyone who colludes with the Yuan Master will be killed!
As a result, up and down the state of Wu, there were more than thousands of marshal's cronies and collaborators, and their heads fell to the ground.
Their families accompanied them to Huangquan.
Murder, raids, extermination.
With this opportunity left, Emperor Wu, who had never really been in power for a long time, finally became a veritable emperor of Wu.
When the right minister took the copy registration book and reported to Emperor Wu, Emperor Wu's eyes widened.
At a time when the palace was thrifty due to lack of money, the funds copied from the homes of the marshal and his followers reached one billion silver.
The marshal alone had more than 300 million silver.
And that's not even counting the real estate.
And Wu's annual tax revenue is only eight million taels of silver.
Emperor Wu, who had a rich harvest, thought that his ancestors would kill one or two corrupt officials when they were in financial difficulties. Loot your property and tide over the difficulties.
From this raid, Emperor Wu finally understood the wisdom of his ancestors.
Usually raise corrupt officials, and kill corrupt officials tightly.
He should also pass on this experience to the crown prince.
That's a later story, and the top priority is to extinguish Jay Chou's anger.
Otherwise, Zhou Jielun came to the door, wouldn't he be a follower of the marshal?
So, Emperor Wu ordered the right minister to write a letter to Zhou Jielun.
The letter explains the root cause of what has happened for three months.
Although he did not know about it, as the emperor of Wu, he should bear the main responsibility.
First, 100,000 taels of gold were offered as a mental loss fee for Jay Chou.
Second, Wu and Qi entered into a non-aggression pact.
Third, send the three princes of Wu to the palace of the backer of Qi as permanent representatives (in fact, they are hostages).
In this way, before Zhou Jielun left for China from the Great Song Dynasty, Wu's delegation had already set off from Wu's capital to Qi.
