Chapter 1764: Measure the material resources of Chen State and settle the country’s favor
Hearing what Cai Jing said, Chen Baxian was so angry that he could not speak. He gritted his teeth and said: "Since ancient times, I have only heard of ministers rebelling against the monarch, but I have never heard of the monarch rebelling against the ministers. It is simply ridiculous.
Cai Jing, you and other noble families have ulterior motives. Since you are ready to rebel, why should you turn around and accuse me?
"
Hearing this, Cai Jing fell silent.
Honestly speaking, Chen Baxian was born with some disadvantages. If he wanted to be king and hegemon, he had to get the support of the family, so he was really good to the Chen family.
It was when Chen Baxian became Queen Chen that the Chen family reached its peak, but based on this, the family could not be completely devoted to him.
The only thing the aristocratic families care about is interests, and now that Chen Baxian can't give the family more, the Chen Guo aristocratic family will decisively abandon Chen Baxian.
It’s so realistic!
Seeing that Cai Jing stopped talking, Chen Baxian felt even more sad and angry. This time he mistrusted Tong Guan, so that the Qing emperor failed in the end. He obviously no longer thought that he could survive.
Chen Baxian also took the risk, glared at everyone and shouted: "Although you keep claiming that this king is your lord, how many of you really think so in your hearts?"
These words are on point. In the eyes of the people of the aristocratic family, they and Chen Baxian only have a cooperative relationship. Naturally, they cannot really treat Chen Baxian as their lord, not to mention that they have never been loyal.
Cai Jing raised his head and said calmly: "My lord, please cooperate. As long as you obey our arrangements, you will still be King Chen and our lord."
"cooperate?"
Chen Baxian glared at Cai Jing and roared: "Just to be pushed out by you to take the blame, to be despised by everyone, and then to be infamy for thousands of years?"
“At least you are still alive.” Cai Jing said calmly.
Hearing this, Chen Baxian smiled sadly.
Living, just living, what a humble condition.
Chen Baxian never imagined that he would have such a humble day.
…
Chen Baxian drew his sword and pointed it at a group of aristocratic families, but then he put it on his own neck and roared: "Do you think I, Chen Baxian, am afraid of death?"
Seeing that Chen Baxian was so staunch and unwilling to surrender to the Manchus, Cai Jing and others couldn't help but panic. After all, if Chen Baxian died, no one would be able to bear the infamy for them, and they would also have to bear the responsibility of regicide. of infamy.
“Calm down, Lord, calm down.” Zhang Bangchang advised in a panic.
"Yes, isn't it good to live? Why ask for death?" Gao Qiu also advised.
“Haha, I was so blind at the beginning that I still had expectations for you. Now it seems that you are hopeless.”
Chen Baxian would trust these people from aristocratic families mainly because they had betrayed their master three times. As long as they had some brains, they would not appear again for the fourth time. But now it seems that they were too naive at the beginning.
No matter how much the other party tried to persuade him, Chen Baxian did not put down the sword in his hand. At this moment, he was completely despairing.
With Chen Baxian's super-first-class strength, it is very easy to support him before his death. However, there are also super-first-class masters in the Chen family, and they are all still present.
With Chen Baxian's strength, it is obvious that he cannot kill these traitors he hates under the protection of so many troops and experts.
Chen Baxian, who was in despair, was just about to kill himself with his sword when he heard Cai Jing say: "My lord, you are not even afraid of death. Are you still afraid of a little notoriety? Are you still afraid of being infamous for thousands of years?"
Chen Baxian paused for a moment.
Yes, he is not someone who cares about reputation.
Besides, after staying under Wang Mang for so long, his reputation is not very good to begin with. Is he still afraid of suffering a greater infamy?
In fact, Chen Baxian had the idea of killing himself, mainly because he was so completely betrayed by the family, all his efforts and planning were in vain, and his self-confidence was greatly affected. In order not to make these betrayers feel better, he decided to kill himself. Take revenge on the other person. Chen Baxian knew that even if he risked his life to fight back, he would not be able to kill a few of the opponent's people. But if he died, the reputation of these people would be completely ruined. Even the Manchus would definitely have a grudge against him. After all, no one wanted to have one under his command. A white-eyed wolf that will bite back at any time.
And this is the greatest revenge on these aristocratic families!
I have to say that Chen Baxian is also a ruthless person. In order to retaliate against these traitors who betrayed him, he would even risk his own life.
Seeing Chen Baxian stop, Cai Jing immediately said: "My lord, don't you want revenge?"
Chen Baxian frowned and said coldly: "What exactly do you want to say?"
“My lord, you entered the Liao Dynasty alone and dealt with various major families, but in the end you were able to unite the major families and sit on the throne of King Chen. You are also an outstanding person of your generation.
But even so, you are still being manipulated by our family. This must not be a good feeling, right?
Don’t you want to take revenge on our noble families? And only while you are alive can you have a chance for revenge. "
I have to say that Cai Jing knew Chen Baxian very well. He knew that Chen Baxian was not afraid of death, so he used revenge to stimulate him and make him give up the idea of killing himself.
Don't say it, Chen Baxian continued to do this. After taking a deep breath, he put the sword back into its sheath and said coldly: "You will regret it."
After saying that, Chen Baxian sat back on the throne and closed his eyes to rest.
When Cai Jing and others saw this, they all showed relieved smiles. As for Chen Baxian's threat, they didn't care.
In the eyes of Cai Jing and others, Chen Baxian is already a caged bird, doomed to be imprisoned for the rest of his life, and cannot even get out of this palace, so his threats are nothing more than incompetent barking.
“My lord is in poor health, so you must serve him well.”
Having said that, Cai Jing led everyone out of the hall.
At the entrance of the main hall, a tall woman wearing a Manchu cheongsam looked at Cai Jing and others walking over with a smile and asked, "Has everything been taken care of?"
Cai Jing bowed his hands and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the envoy has been dealt with. Chen Baxian is no longer an obstacle to the alliance between the two countries."
"That's good."
After saying that, the woman threw a piece of paper to Cai Jing and said with a slight smile: "Just follow the instructions above."
After Cai Jing took it and took a look, his pupils suddenly shrank. After thinking for a while, he threw it to Zhang Bangchang and said, "You can give this order."
Zhang Bangchang also had a look of reluctance after seeing it. He wanted to pass the blame to others, but found that everyone was hiding far away.
These unloyal people. Zhang Bangchang cursed secretly in his heart.
Seeing that the Manchu envoy was staring at him, Zhang Bangchang immediately changed his mind, and then ordered in a deep voice: "My lord has a decree. From now on, I, the State of Chen, will form an alliance with the Manchu Qing Dynasty to fight against the Qin army."
“My lord has a decree. I, the State of Chen, will declare my vassalage to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and from now on I will accept the Manchu Qing Dynasty as my suzerainty.”
“My lord has a decree, and the Manchu and Qing armies are coming to support our Chen State to prevent the Qin State from invading us. Therefore, the armies on the border are not allowed to stop us.”
"My lord has a decree. The Manchu and Qing troops are guests from afar. Officials and even people from all over the country must give warm hospitality."
“The Lord has a purpose…”
Five consecutive orders, each one was like a big earthquake to Chen Guo.
The cheongsam woman put her hands on her hips, looked at all this with a smile, and said softly: "Measure the material resources of the Chen country and the happiness of the country. I, the Qing Dynasty, will never forget your contribution."
