Chapter 373: The Yellow Sparrow Follows (4)
Sun Daoquan bowed to Wu and saluted: "Sun Daoquan see the general!"
Wu Qi said calmly: "General Sun, please get up, you can enter the palace with the general." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Sun Daoquan bowed and said, "Obey the general's order." His heart trembled, in the past 20 years, anyone who followed Wu Qi to fight could be knighted, and Wu Qi loved soldiers like sons, and he would take care of his family for the soldiers who died under him, and anyone who had been a soldier under Wu Qi could feel Wu Qi's god-like prestige in the army.
Although Sun Daoquan did not serve as a soldier under Wu Qi, he fought with Wu Qi in a joint battle, he was shocked that time, Wu Qi's soldiers had a fanatical worship of him, and he would not retreat every time he fought to the death, and it was also at that time that he realized what the "Tiger and Wolf Division" was, and now he is also under Wu Qi's command, and he will definitely be able to rise one step higher without accident, how not to make him feel excited in his heart.
Wu Qi handed a small sword to Wu Andao: "You take my general to take over the defense of the four gates of the outer city, and no one is allowed to go out of the city." ”
Wu An took the small sword and led the team away, and then Wu Qi calmly stepped into the palace, Sun Daoquan and the crown prince unconsciously stood on his left and right, supporting him like a guard.
Wu Qi said to Sun Daoquan: "Strictly order the soldiers not to take advantage of the chaos to do evil, and those who violate the military order will be killed." ”
Sun Daoquan immediately ordered the whole army according to Wu Qi's instructions, and then asked: "General, are we going to arrest Baili Qingshan, he is currently in the palace and occupies the place where Prime Minister Qu Cheng handles official business." ”
Wu Qi shook his head and said: "Pick Liang clown, where is it worth our trouble, let's go to the Xianwang Lingtang to have a look." ”
After the team entered the mourning hall of the first king, the scene they saw made the prince stunned, the mourning hall was in chaos, the scene of the battle and destruction during the day was not cleaned up at all, the coffin of the king of Chu was broken into countless pieces, scattered everywhere, and there were fragments of dragon robes and some broken bones in the corner of the mourning hall.
The prince cried bitterly and threw himself into the mourning hall.
Wu Qi frowned, anger surging in his heart, although he was an undercover agent sent by Jingwumen to Shouchun, but the first king treated him well, he was promoted to general when he first entered Shouchun, and then he was promoted to a general because of his merits, and he monopolized the three-point favor of the court, and now that the body of the king of Chu was so destroyed, he snorted coldly: "Sun Daoquan, you go and arrest Baili Qingshan here, and someone else will go to the Zongren Mansion to bring the list of all the officials who participated in the funeral of the first king today." ”
Sun Daoquan took the order and left, Wu Qi saw the prince crying bitterly, and said to the soldiers around: "You go to guard outside the hall." ”
After the soldiers left, Wu Qi said to the prince: "His Royal Highness the prince mourns and changes, the old thief dares to destroy the king's corpse, the heavens are intolerable, and he will definitely be punished as he deserves." ”
The prince stood up suddenly, his eyes were blood-red, but his words were surprisingly calm: "General Wu, I know you want to make this prince a puppet, but this prince doesn't care, he only asks you for one thing, if you can do it, this prince will definitely cooperate with you in the future and be a qualified puppet." He thought that Wu Qi would disrespect him if he wanted to be a powerful minister.
Wu Qi frowned and said, "Don't worry, the old minister will definitely save the life of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
A voice of hatred oozed from the prince's throat and said, "Please general, destroy all these people who dare to destroy the corpse of the father, the Nine Clans." ”
Wu Qi pondered for a moment and said: "Has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ever thought about the consequences of doing this, we are no better than the Qin State, if we do this, the Chu State will really hurt its vitality!"
The crown prince cried and said, "They don't even spare the corpse of their father, are they still human beings? If they can't even avenge their father, I will be a son of man in vain." Although my father belittled many people when he was alive, he never did anything cruel, how dare these people do this?
Wu Qi clenched his fists, the expression on his face kept changing, and after a while, his voice was calm: "His Royal Highness the Prince, please get up, this matter will definitely be achieved for His Royal Highness, which can be regarded as repaying the kindness of the previous king." ”
When the prince heard Wu Qi say this, he wiped away his tears and began to pick up the bones in the mourning hall one by one, at this time he didn't know that there were not only the bones of the king of Chu in this mourning hall, but also the bones of Qu Yuan, and the two had long been mixed together and could not be distinguished.
Half an hour later, Sun Daoquan came in with a hundred miles of green mountains scattered by his cape, and handed a scroll of silk to Wu Qidao: "General Qiqi, this is the list of people who attended the funeral of the former king found in the Zongren Mansion. According to the general's orders, the junior general has brought the hundred miles of green mountains and asked the general to interrogate. ”
Wu Qi shook his head and said, "Hurting the corpse of the king is a great crime to exterminate the Nine Clans, and there is no need for interrogation. ”
Hearing this, Baili Qingshan, who was originally cloaked, suddenly raised his head and said angrily: "Wu Qi, you don't want to talk nonsense, how can my Chu State have the law of harming the king's corpse and destroying the nine clans?"
Wu Qi said calmly: "Whether there was one or not, it has been since today." After speaking, he took out the sword at his waist and cut off the head of Baili Qingshan with a sword, and immediately blood spilled all over the mourning hall.
Wu Qi opened the list handed over by Sun Daoquan and read the contents of the list at a glance, dipped his finger in the blood on the ground to smear the names of several people, and then handed it to Sun Daoquan: "You arrest people according to the list, all the people on the list will be imprisoned within the nine clans." ”
Sun Daoquan unfolded the list, took a cursory look, and hesitated: "General, my Shouchun City Prison simply can't accommodate so many people. ”
Wu Qi said calmly: "If you die some people, won't you be able to tolerate it! Will this little thing be taught to you?"
Sun Daoquan trembled, bowed down and said, "The young general understands!" and left in a hurry.
Wu Qi suddenly said again: "Come back!"
After Sun Daoquan came back, Wu Qi said: "After the arrest is completed, you will bring all the people on the list to the mourning hall, and I will use their blood to see off the first king." ”
Sun Daoquan bowed down and left again, while Wu Qi himself quieted down, standing in the mourning hall, quietly looking at the roof, his eyes could not see joy and anger, but his heart was turbulent, he knew that his order was a great purge in the Chu State, which was more thorough than the purge of the Qin State.
Wu Qi's generals have more soldiers, the better, that is because he has invincible mental arithmetic ability, just by looking at the list, he can also estimate that if it is based on the nine clans, the population involved in the injury of the king's corpse this time will definitely not be less than 700,000 people, if all of them are killed, it is equivalent to directly erasing one percent of the population of Chu State, and these people are all nobles, this is directly killing the elite of Chu State, and the damage to Chu State is immeasurable, but he can't refuse the prince's request at all. The betrayal of the King of Chu had already made him feel pain in his heart, and if he could no longer avenge the King of Chu, even with his strong nerves, he would collapse.
"Yellow Bird is also distressed!" Wu Qi muttered as he looked at the roof. (To be continued.) )
