Chapter 162: The End of the Official
The fourth day of the siege and defense of the city of Beijing, in the evening.
The night is dark.
The wind is high.
A candle flame.
He Xuan sat with his sword and bow on the table.
On the table, there was also a wine jug and a wine glass.
He Xuan poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip gently, and waited.
After a while, there was a commotion outside, breaking the silence of the night.
Fang Qi, the deputy commander of Jinyiwei, walked in: "The gods have brought your lordship, those people, basically all of them. ”
"Then bring it in. ”
One by one, the brocade guards walked in with the ministers one by one.
Among these ministers, there are quite a few familiar figures.
For example, a middle-aged man who looks thin and has an elegant temperament, Wei Zaode, the first assistant of the cabinet.
Another example, Zhang Xin, the secretary of the Criminal Department.
There are also the left attendants of the officials, Wang Sunhui, Zhang Jiayu, Xiang Yu and others.
The king's heart among the eunuchs, Du Xun and others, can be regarded as familiar faces.
In addition, there are some characters who can't be named for a while. There are dozens of characters in total.
He Xuan smiled lightly: "Yo, everyone, meet again." There are a lot of familiar faces, Lord Wei, Lord Zhang, but there is no Lord Ni of the Ministry of Rites and Lord Zhang of the Ministry of War, which is beyond my expectations. I can't imagine that they didn't have fornication with the Manchus and others. ”
"You may not know it, but I have already sent people from the Jinyi Guard to monitor you. Those of you who are divided into three groups today are meeting in three different places. The Manchus are asking you to create civil strife in the city of Beijing, or directly help them open the city gates. ”
These ministers, one by one, actually knew that they were defeated when they were caught by Jinyiwei and He Xuan.
All of them were surprisingly ugly.
A few days ago, He Xuan didn't seem to be able to find a military general to help him defend the city, so he found a warden from Jiangnan to help him defend the city.
At that time, in order to make fun, the literati ridiculed He Xuan, and also made up a limerick poem.
"He Xuan is a big barbarian, brainless killing, killing, killing.
The three-way army attacked, known as the Qingjun side.
He Xuan was at a loss, and there would be no one.
I had no choice but to visit Jiangnan and find a pawn. ”
Everyone laughed so happily at that time, and they all felt that He Xuan, a big barbarian who killed and killed, was about to reach the end of his rope.
Now that he has been guarding the city for four days, he has found that Yan Yingyuan, a warden, is simply a military genius, who can defend the city of Beijing as impregnable, and directly let the coalition troops of nearly 300,000 not find a chance in a short time.
Damn, what kind of eyes is He Xuan, obviously Yan Yingyuan is not famous at all, but he can easily find it and help him defend the city.
It's God's Eye!
This kind of divine eye that digs out talents is terrible!
It was precisely because He Xuan discovered Yan Yingyuan that the coalition forces could not attack it in a short period of time, so they found them and asked them to create civil strife in Beijing. However, He Xuan sent someone to monitor them earlier, and picked them all up at once.
Mold!
......
Wei Zaode is the head of the ministers, his psychological quality is much better than others, when the others are already secretly finished, he can still calmly say: "He Xuan, we are all important ministers of the court, you actually tied us up here, completely violating the laws of the court, do you want to rebel?"
"He Xuan, although you are a god general, don't spew blood, there are dozens of us, what is wrong with gathering in three places? Could it be that we can't meet yet? Which law is this violating. ”
"Huh. He Xuan chuckled, picked up the cup in his hand, and stroked it gently: "It is worthy of being the first assistant of the cabinet, and it is really an excellent psychological quality." ”
Then, with a wave of his hand, a pile of letters was thrown directly on the table: "This is a letter written by the Manchu Qing Dynasty to you, I have already ordered Jinyiwei to intercept it and copy the contents." What do you have to say in the letter, but it tells you to create more civil strife? As an important minister of the Ming Dynasty, when facing the siege of the Manchu Qing and other armies, he communicated with the enemy privately, and the letter conspiracy to commit treason, according to the law, beheaded the three clans. ”
Wei Zaode took the letter, read it carefully, and then, he smiled: "He Xuan Shenjiang, this is what you copied, you can forge it as you want." You are slandering me out of thin air. ”
He was relieved that the original of the letter, after he saw it, burned it immediately.
He Xuan can't have evidence.
Without evidence, he cannot be condemned.
The other ministers couldn't help but feel relieved when they heard that He Xuan only had hand-copied letters and no real documents, and then thought that Wei Zaode was usually meticulous.
yes, you don't have proof.
"You're still a little mistaken, Weizaod. Whether I judge you or not is only my heart, and I don't need the most substantial evidence. Don't take that big set of rules at me. He Xuan sneered, and pulled out the sheath of the sword, only to see the cold light slash, and forcibly cut off Wei Zaode's right hand to Qi Brush.
With a click, the right hand fell to the ground.
"Ah!" Wei Zaode couldn't help screaming, his right arm was broken, the blood flowed like an infusion, and he quickly fainted in pain, he roared: "He Xuan, I am from the champion, I am the first assistant of the cabinet, I am a noble literati, you are just a martial artist, you dare to cut off my right arm." Shaft, shaft, shaft!"
"Doctor, go on, let him live. He Xuan smiled.
A doctor had already been prepared here and began to help Wei Zaode bandage.
Wei Zaode scolded while being bandaged.
The other ministers, seeing that He Xuan was so brutal, actually cut off Wei Zaode's right hand, and they were silent one by one, not daring to make a sound. For fear that He Xuan would cut off their right hands again.
Wherever He Xuan's gaze swept, the gazes of those ministers shrank together.
"You think I'm pretty brutal now, and I'm not in a hurry. I'm idle tonight, so let's concoct you corrupt, common people, contact foreigners, and traitorous officials. He Xuan smiled.
"God General, these traitorous officials really deserve to die, if it is about punishment, we are still good at Jinyiwei. Fang Qi said, "Why don't you leave it to us." ”
"Okay, but don't kill them, I want them to see the defeat of the Manchus and other coalition forces before they die. "He Xuan has two goals, one is to torture these traitorous officials and prevent them from having a good time. The second is to harvest a wave of negative sentiment by the way.
Since there is a square flag that is good at this aspect to do it for you, it also saves your own trouble.
Fang Qi smiled and looked at these officials: "You are a traitor and fall into my hands, hehehehe." ”
Those officials, when they saw Fang Qi, the deputy commander of Jinyiwei, had gloomy faces, and they were even more afraid.
He Xuan listened to the screams of these traitorous officials, with his hands behind him, today is the fourth night.
Tomorrow is going to last another day.
The day after tomorrow, you can come up with the invincible big killer in the world.
Let the coalition forces rout, and the first battle will be successful.
Outside, the night was dark.
