Chapter 1322 Selection
Chastain's body was shocked, and he asked in shock and horror, "What does Master Zhang mean......"
Zhang Jiuwei smiled leisurely, leaned forward, approached Chastan, and whispered: "As long as General Cha is dead, all problems will be solved, the Feng army will retreat, the capital will be safe and sound, and Your Majesty can rest easy!"
In just a moment, Chastain's face turned pale, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he stammered, "Zhang...... Master Zhang, you ...... You ......"
Zhang Jiuwei smiled, unhurriedly took out two letters from his cuffs, put them on the square table, and pushed them to Chastain's approach.
He first tapped lightly on the letter on his left hand and said, "General Cha open it and take a look!"
Chastain looked at Zhang Jiuwei, and after a while, his gaze slowly fell on the letter that Zhang Jiuwei pushed over. He stretched out his hand tremblingly, picked up the letter, opened it, and looked down carefully, where was this letter, but the emperor's handwritten message.
He sat on the mat and almost collapsed to the ground, and said in disbelief: "Master Zhang, this is ...... This ......"
"If General Cha has anything to say, I will talk about it after reading His Majesty's edict. Zhang Jiuwei picked up the teacup, put it to his lips, raised his nose and sniffed it, and put the teacup down again.
I knew that this huge Chafu didn't even have some good tea, so he brought some by the way.
In this edict, the eldest grandson Bohao counted Chastan's crimes, what was not strict in governing the army, negligent management, dereliction of duty, filling his own pockets, etc., these crimes alone were enough to kill Chastan, but this is not the end, and then there are more serious crimes, oppressing the people, plundering money, and several times on the battlefield without a fight, fleeing, and the losses caused to the side are incalculable.
At the end of the edict, the eldest grandson Bohao gave Chastan a sexual determination, the sin is unforgivable, and it is difficult to write a book, and he should be beheaded all over the house to set an example.
After reading this edict, Chastain sat down on the bedding, dumbfounded, and completely dumbfounded.
Slap, smack, smack! Chastain's reaction after reading the edict was completely expected by Zhang Jiuwei.
He raised his hand and snapped his fingers three times in front of Chastain to bring him back to his senses, and then he tapped the letter on his right hand and said, "General Cha, I think you should take a closer look at this." ”
At this moment, Chastain's mind was numb, he knew that he could not escape the blame, but he still had a bit of luck in his heart.
A few days ago, in the court, Guanyu and other ministers joined forces to intercede for him, and His Majesty also dismissed his plan to hold him accountable, he thought that he had passed this difficulty safely, but this edict from the eldest grandson Bohao completely shattered the hope in his heart.
According to Zhang Jiuwei's meaning, he mechanically picked up another letter and opened it, which was still an emperor's edict. And this letter is completely different from the previous one.
It not only commended Chastain's exploits during his lifetime, but also commended his merits after his death, positioning his death as a national sacrifice, killing himself, posthumously conferring him as a loyal and righteous uncle, giving him the title of General Loyalty, Chastain's eldest son, and also a hereditary count.
Two edicts, the same result, but completely different concepts.
Although they were all dead in the end, the first edict, Chastain was executed for his crimes, he deserved it, and it was not a pity to die, and the most important thing was that he had to involve his family and be beheaded all over the house, and the second edict, Chastain's death was to kill himself, sacrifice his life for the country, and martyrdom for righteousness, not only his family would not be connected, but he could also obtain the hereditary earl title.
Zhang Jiuwei looked at Cha Stain with a dumb face and said, "Your Majesty's two edicts, General Cha has seen them clearly, right? What is Your Majesty's intention, I think, General Cha should be clearer, right?"
As he spoke, he slowly pulled the two copies of the oracle from Chastain's hand, folded them carefully, and put them back into his cuffs.
"General Cha doesn't make it difficult for His Majesty, Your Majesty will naturally not treat General Cha badly, let alone General Cha's family, on the contrary, General Cha will embarrass His Majesty, not only General Cha himself will suffer, but even with it, the whole family will be connected. Whether General Cha has good intentions for His Majesty or has hidden evil intentions, it is not difficult to choose. Zhang Jiuwei finished what he had to say, stood up, and flicked his sleeves slowly.
"Lord Zhang, the last general......" Chastain's eyes were wet and red, and he looked at Zhang Jiuwei with a blank look, his eyes full of help and sadness. If there is a glimmer of life, but if there is still a way to live, who would want to choose to die? Let alone someone like Chastain.
"Your Majesty can't kill General Cha now, General Cha knows it, but General Cha doesn't die, the Feng Army won't retreat, and Your Majesty can't eat sweet, and he can't sleep well. The old man still said the same thing, those of us who are courtiers should share the worries and solve problems for Your Majesty, not make Your Majesty embarrassed. General Cha thought about it carefully, and the old man retired. As he spoke, Zhang Jiuwei bowed to Chastain and turned to walk out.
Before Chastain came back to his senses, Zhang Jiuwei suddenly remembered something, he stopped, turned around and said, "By the way, General Cha can't let Your Majesty wait for a long time, at the latest tomorrow morning, Your Majesty will know the result." ”
When Chastain heard this, his mouth moved, and just as he was about to speak, Zhang Jiuwei waved his hand at him and said, "General Cha doesn't have to send it, just let the old man go by himself." With that, he pushed open the door and walked out without looking back.
Looking out of the empty door, Chastain sat blankly on the mat, staring blankly and motionless for a long time.
His Majesty gave him two choices, but in fact, he didn't have any choice, and only pointed him to a path, a dead end.
Two handwritten orders, the same result, throughout the ages, there are only a handful of people who can do such a skill, but to be exact, this wrist is not played by the eldest grandson Bohao, but is controlled by Zhang Jiuwei, a-stirring stick.
This night, the wind army carried out drills in the southern suburbs of Tianjing, shouting and killing, and many people in the city stayed awake all night, including Chastain.
The next morning, Chastain calmly finished breakfast in the mansion and returned to his study. When a family member went to look for him in the study, he suddenly found that Chastain had already hanged himself under the beams of the study, and even his body was already stiff.
Chastain's suicide caused an uproar in Tianjing City, and many people in Ningnan hoped that the Thirteenth Legion could create another miracle and hit the Wind Army again, but as a result, before people's expectations could be realized, Chastain committed suicide at home.
Before the imperial court could make any moves, the tone of conspiracy theories had already spread among the military and among the people.
As the commander of the first army, how could a dignified corps commander commit suicide at home for no reason if he was not forced to bear unbearable pressure? And who else could create pressure on the corps commander but the emperor?
On the surface, the emperor did not give in to the wind army, and promised that he would not ask Chastain about the crime, but in fact, the emperor was still afraid of the wind army in his bones, and finally used shady means to force Chastain to death, so as to ensure that his own peace and well.
Although the tone of the conspiracy theories is all some catch-after remarks, and no one can confirm it, it is also inseparable from the actual situation.
The Ningnan Imperial Court had not yet taken corresponding measures against Chastan's suicide, and the eldest grandson Bohao had already sent people to Cha's mansion with lightning speed, took Chastan's body away, and sent it to the Feng army outside the city.
On the other hand, he issued a decree to recognize Chastain's merits and give him a series of posthumous titles. Basically, what is written in the oracle, he has done it.
If Chastain's suicide is still just a conspiracy, then after the eldest Sun Bohao gave Chastain's body to the wind army, the conspiracy theory has basically become a foregone conclusion.
Whether it was the military, the people, or even the ministers of the court, they all believed that Chastain was forced to death by the emperor.
Such a result can be said to have made everyone disappointed in the eldest grandson Bohao.
There is no shortage of loyal and righteous people in Ningnan, and there is no shortage of dead soldiers who are willing to break the jade for the country, they are not afraid of death, and they can also go to death at any time, but at least the value of death is valuable, and it is meaningful to die, but for such an emperor who is greedy for life and afraid of death, he does not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of his courtiers in exchange for his own stealing life to die.
Guanyu and other ministers are so opposed to the execution of Chastan by Changsun Bohao now, and this is the reason. Doesn't Chastain deserve to die? He deserves to die so much that no one will cry out for him even if he dies a hundred times.
But you can kill him at any time, but you can't kill him when the wind army is coming to the city, at this time, the emperor must straighten his waist, withstand the pressure, and must show the backbone and dignity that the king of a country should have, and only in this way can the emperor win the love of the world, so that people are willing to fight for the emperor and die for the emperor.
But the eldest grandson Bohao not only forced Chastain to death, but also shamelessly gave his body to the wind army, to flatter, to invite merit, to keep his own safety, how can the emperor not disappoint, and how can he not make people feel cold.
Knowing that His Majesty was going to send Chastain's body outside the city, Guanyu immediately sent someone to stop it, but in the end, it was still a step too slow, and the envoys sent by the eldest grandson Bohao had already left the city and entered the wind camp.
After his subordinates returned to the house to report the result, Guanyu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it's over! The foundation of Haotian for thousands of years will be ruined!
At this moment, Guanyu's heart should be full of remorse, regretting that he failed to assist the eldest prince Sun Boyuan, and assisted a seemingly benevolent and righteous second prince eldest Sun Bohao.
The selfishness of the eldest grandson Bohao is not only manifested from now, he has already shown it as early as the outbreak of the royal war, if he is really a generous and righteous person, there will be no such royal war with countless internal friction in Ningnan.
Compared with the crown jade who was like a mourner, the generals of the wind army were overjoyed.
Knowing that the envoy of Ningnan had brought Chastan's body to his camp, Meng Qiuchen, who was originally sitting on the mat, suddenly jumped up, his face was full of surprise, and said excitedly to Shangguan Xiu: "Your Highness, the big thing has come true!"
Shangguan Xiu also laughed on his back, and said to the eldest grandson Boyuan: "Everyone says that the second prince is virtuous, but now it seems that the so-called virtuous virtue is just a pretended virtuous virtue!"
Eldest Sun Boyuan sneered and mocked: "Xiande, this is simply a joke!"
Others don't know the eldest grandson Bohao, how can he not understand the eldest grandson Bohao, if he is allowed to be the emperor for a few more years, he may really become virtuous, but he has just ascended the throne now, the throne is not stable, and he is extremely sensitive to everything around him, and his nature will naturally and gradually be exposed.
He sneered: "In order to secure the throne he just obtained, let alone sacrificing a Chastain, even if he sacrifices more people, he will not even hesitate." ”
Shangguan Xiu stroked his palms and smiled, and said, "Next, Brother Boyuan's chance to be ashamed has finally come. ”
A glint flashed in the eyes of the eldest grandson, and his fists were slowly clenched subconsciously, the throne that he could not get, the eldest grandson Bohao did not want to sit firmly on it.
Shangguan Xiu nodded to Meng Qiuchen and said, "Annoying the military division, go and meet the envoys of the eldest grandson Bohao!"
"Yes, Your Highness!" Meng Qiuchen replied.
"That's right. Shangguan Xiu added: "After receiving Chastain's body, it will be buried in front of Tianjing City with heavy courtesy!"
Meng Qiuchen was stunned for a moment, then smiled wisely and said, "Weichen understands, His Highness can rest assured. ”
"Well, let's go!"
Where did the eldest grandson Bohao abandon Chastan, who was like a shoe, but was handed over to the side of the wind army but had to be buried thickly, this heart-attacking strategy was used too much, Lin Yi sighed secretly, Shangguan Xiu was calculated to the scum, Chastain was used by him during his lifetime, and even after his death, he would continue to use it.
