Chapter 801: Self-Killing
Liu Cong's offensive was thwarted by Zu Li's army, and although the battle was fierce, they were finally held back and could no longer attack the next city.
Seriously, Emperor Jin breathed a sigh of relief.
The battle ahead was unfavorable, Liu Cong was very unhappy, and when he returned to his residence, he was so angry that he swept down the cups on the table.
The attendants bowed their heads in fright, and waited until he had almost smashed his things before they came forward to clean up.
One of the servants made a sound as he picked up broken porcelain, and he immediately fell to the ground in fright, not daring to move.
Liu Cong's gaze fell on him, anger flashed, he stared at him for a while, and asked faintly, "What about Emperor Jin?" ”
The servant hurriedly said, "In the side courtyard." ”
"Call him in, let him clean up here, and you all get out of here."
The servants were not pleased, but turned pale, and the two trembled.
When he withdrew, his body trembled slightly, Emperor Jin was the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, and the general actually asked him to do the servant's business, if it was passed out, the general might not be able to do anything, and they were afraid that they would not survive.
Someone went to the side courtyard to inform Emperor Jin.
Emperor Jin thought that Liu Cong was going to talk to him again, and he came with a depressed face, but he didn't see Liu Cong in the house, and the room was full of broken cups and porcelain, he frowned, and was puzzled, and a broom was stuffed in his hand.
Emperor Jin looked at his subordinates with a confused expression, and his subordinates lowered their heads to avoid his gaze, and said in a low voice: "The general asked you to clean up this house." ”
When Emperor Jin heard this, his face turned pale.
The subordinates didn't dare to urge, and bowed down after giving the order.
Emperor Jin stood with a broom for a long time, but still swept the ground silently, learned from the servants to sweep the broken porcelain into a pile, and when he swept things out, not only the generals and courtiers of the Han State knew, but even the courtiers of the Jin State also knew.
Liu Cong's subordinates and subordinate officials laughed when they heard this, and immediately left their affairs and ran to the main courtyard to see the excitement, and by the way, they relieved their bad mood of being blocked by Zu Li.
Emperor Jin was insulted by this, and the Jin ministers couldn't accept it, Zhao Zhongyu immediately led the Jin ministers to break into the main courtyard, pushed away the Hun Hanchen who were watching, walked to the emperor's side, snatched the broom in his hand, looked around, and gritted his teeth and said: "What about Liu Cong, this is how he treated my Jin Emperor?" is so hearted, smaller than a chick's, and he still wants to chase the world and dream of his spring and autumn season! ”
"You! Daring! A Hun general drew his knife and walked towards Zhao Zhongyu, "Believe it or not, I cut you!" ”
Zhao Zhongyu raised his neck and said, "You're coming!" ”
The Xiongnu general really wanted to step forward and cut him, but he was stopped left and right, pulled people behind and said in a low voice: "He is Zhao Hanzhang's uncle and grandfather, and his importance is no less than that of Emperor Jin, except for His Majesty and the general, no one can execute the two of them, you don't want to come here." ”
The general reluctantly endured it and said, "Do you just let him slander the general like this?" ”
Naturally, Liu Cong came out quickly, saw the broom in Zhao Zhongyu's hand, and apologized again and again, "I invited Emperor Jin to come over to catch up with the old days, and I don't know why Emperor Jin suddenly cleaned up the house for Zaixia, didn't he see that the cold house was too dirty and couldn't look past it?" ”
Emperor Jin's face changed, lowered his eyes and said honestly: "It was the servant next to the general who asked me to sweep it, saying that it was the general's order." ”
When Liu Cong heard this, his face changed greatly, and he immediately shouted: "Which servant dares to be so bold as to falsely pass on my orders." ”
He said to Emperor Jin with a serious face: "It must be that they are lazy and don't want to clean the house, but they are afraid of punishment, so they pushed the matter to Emperor Jin, don't worry, I will punish them severely." ”
After that, he called his own soldiers and ordered: "Pull down all the servants who are serving in the main courtyard today, cut them down, send the heads to the Jin Emperor in a while, and ask the Jin Emperor to be considerate of my faux pas." ”
Emperor Jin's face turned slightly pale, and he hurriedly dissuaded: "Maybe I really heard it wrong, and I ask the general to give a light punishment." ”
How could Liu Cong give Emperor Jin this opportunity to show grace? insisted on chopping, and the soldiers took the order to go, and arrested all the servants who were serving in the main courtyard today, and whether they had to use favored people or not, they were all cut down directly.
The head was also sent to the courtyard to show the Jin Emperor and the Jin ministers.
Not to mention Emperor Jin, even Jin ministers like Zhao Zhongyu turned pale when they saw it, and some Jin ministers sat directly on the ground and cried.
In such a situation, although the Great Jin Dynasty is not dead in name, it is actually dead.
The emperor is the king of the dead country, and these people are all the ministers of the dead country.
If the king humiliates his ministers and dies, what is the meaning of their lives?
A Jin minister cried for a long time, and without waiting for the persuasion of his companions, he got up directly, walked to Liu Cong and knelt down and said: "Jin Chen is open, I am willing to serve the Han Court, and ask the general to give Zhang a chance." ”
Liu Cong laughed, stretched out his hand to help him up, and said happily: "Okay, good, my Han Emperor has a broad mind, no matter who comes, he will accept him." ”
Zhou Chang, who was sitting on the ground crying like him, also collected his tears, looked up at him in a daze, and then got up, rushed over, but did not kneel, but pointed at Liu Cong's nose and scolded: "Shaft! But a barbarian son, your father is my great Jin proton, and you, the concubine of the vertical son, what face can you drive me to be the king and enjoy my Jin minister? ”
"Broad-minded? Phew! Zhou Chang scolded: "And the state, the anointed land, but you have governed not a single grass, you don't plant good land, but you want people to sow grass and seed grazing, and insist that people who know etiquette do barbarians, what is broad-minded, the people know etiquette, but you let people who know etiquette be slaves; The people are good at farming, and you eat white rice and white noodles, but let them go to nomadism and be a wild man. ”
"I am a savage, I don't want to be a person who knows etiquette, but I want to turn all the people in the world who know etiquette into a savage, what is this called being broad-minded?"
Liu Cong's face instantly became gloomy, and he clenched his fists under the gaze of everyone and said, "Come on, Zhou Langjun is drunk, please go down and sober up." ”
"Phew, don't fool people, do you still use you as an outsider to judge whether I'm drunk or not?" Zhou Chang looked at Zhang Kai, turned around and pulled out a sword from the hand of a Xiongnu general, and cut off a corner of his clothes with a brush, "I drank the wine with you for nothing in the past two years, from now on, we are no longer friends, whether we are alive or dead, you don't want to tell people and ghosts that we know each other." ”
Then he threw the corner of his coat to him, and then raised his sword to kill himself.
He opened his eyes and saw a group of people shouting around Zhou Chang, as if he hadn't heard it, he wiped the blood on his face, stuffed the corner of the clothes in his hand into his sleeve in the palm of his hand, and silently walked behind Liu Cong.
Liu Cong didn't pay attention to his movements, he only felt that Jin Chen's crying made him have a heart attack, and he was very uncomfortable, he suppressed his anger and stared at Emperor Jin with gloomy eyes.
Emperor Jin couldn't bear his gaze, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade everyone, and then everyone carried Zhou Chang's corpse and hugged Emperor Jin to leave.
