Chapter 802: Recruit, give a plaque
After reading this letter, Yu Jiangli decisively broke the shackles around him.
Since they are unkind, don't blame him for being unrighteous.
At this time, Xiaotang still doesn't know that the hero of Qi Luck is because of Yuanyuan's rebellious speed, he cut off a large part of the plot and made a big step forward.
On Tongzhou's side, the iron cavalry offensive led by Yan Song and Wei Hao became more and more fierce. In just half a month, they took over several cities in Tongzhou one after another, leaving only one Guangyang city connected to Cangzhou.
The pace of the Wei army's attack stopped temporarily, and the dog officials in Cangzhou breathed a sigh of relief, as did the savage prince and the civil and military officials in the court.
Today's court has no one available, and the former loyal ministers have long been killed by the faint, and those who are left are basically those who are greedy for life and fear of death.
The army sent by the old emperor, even if it was just to suppress the mob, would be defeated one after another, let alone the Marquis of Xuanping and the King of Xiliang.
At this time, above the court.
The old emperor leaned on the dragon chair with his body hollowed out by the color of wine, heaved a long sigh of relief, and said with regret: "I shouldn't have been merciful at the beginning, and directly cut down the Wei family, there would be no such thing as today. Things."
Traitor No. 1 flattered: "Your Majesty's benevolence and righteousness, I remember that the old general Wei made great contributions, and this saved the rest of the Wei family from the death penalty. Who would have guessed that the Wei family did not appreciate it, and actually avenged the revenge."
Traitor No. 2 was filled with righteous indignation, "More than this Wei family, the King of Xiliang and the Marquis of Xuanping have never treated them badly, and now they dare to rebel in a grand manner. These chaotic ministers and thieves are all captured and executed!"
The traitor No. 3 had something in his stomach, and said flatteringly: "Your Majesty, the fiefs of the King of Xiliang and the Marquis of Xuanping are still far from the imperial city, and now it is the little thief Wei Lian who is more troublesome."
The old emperor immediately asked, "What do you think of Aiqing?"
"Wei ministers thought that the Wei family had the same name, and if the emperor vindicated the old general Wei, he would give the Wei family a plaque of loyalty and goodness from generation to generation, and promise other benefits, such as the title of marquis and jue, this Wei thief might be able to be used by my court in turn.
At that time, wouldn't it be wonderful to let this Wei thief go to fight Xuanping Marquis and even the King of Xiliang on behalf of the emperor? "
When the old emperor opened his eyes, he suddenly regained his energy and said with great joy, "It's still Yang Aiqing who can help me solve problems! It's just that I convicted General Wei of treason.
Traitor No. 3 said: "Your Majesty, this is just an expedient measure. The Wei family has many generals. After the rebels are cleaned up first, the Emperor will reward them with merit and deeds in the future."
Laohunjun heard the implication of the "confidant minister", and his turbid old eyes narrowed, "If this Wei family can really exterminate those mobs and rebels for me, the Wei family's treasonous crime, I will not pursue it."
"Emperor Shengming!"
A few days later, a plaque personally bestowed by the present sage was sent to Tongzhou overnight by the envoy Wang Gonggong.
In the hall, when the prince saw the young man on the high seat, he acted more and more cautiously.
Originally, he should have read the imperial decree aloud in front of Wei Lian's face. Wei Lian and everyone in the Wei family had to kneel to listen to the decree, but the prince looked at Wei Lian's bearing, the attitude of the Wei family, how could he dare to say this? few words.
Eunuch Wang has no doubt that if he dares to say anything, kneel down and obey the decree, he will definitely move his head.
Fortunately, Wang Gonggong was used to meeting people and talking about people, and talking to ghosts. After entering this Wei Thief discussion hall, he said with a smile: "Master Wei, our family is here to send a plaque to the Wei family."
"Plaque?" The man sitting on him looked at him lightly, and that look made the prince shudder for no reason.
"Yes, it is a plaque written by the emperor himself, and it was made overnight by the best craftsmen in the imperial city. The emperor said that he had mistrusted the traitor and misunderstood the old general Wei. The Wei family has always been loyal to the imperial court. The crime of treason. The emperor is very self-blame, and this will be rehabilitated by General Wei."
Having said that, the prince and the prince gave a wink to the two guards who were holding the plaque behind him.
The guard lifted the red cloth on the plaque, and immediately revealed the four upright characters of "Loyalty for Generations".
The old emperor was foolish and foolish, and these words were written quite well.
I heard that it was because the old emperor was good at writing, and he could also do superficial skills, such as fathers, sons, filial piety, brothers and brothers, and what the old emperor did when he was young, almost deceiving everyone Go, the first emperor is no exception.
When everyone in the Wei family saw this plaque, they were all resentful, especially Wei Hao and other juniors, who did not hide their hatred for the faint-hearted ruler at all.
When the Wei family was loyal to the country, the slanderous lord listened to the slander and killed him, the pillar of the Wei family, and directly convicted the Wei family of treason. Wei family.
Really funny!
Wang Gonggong was in a cold sweat, and he continued: "The emperor said that General Wei has made great achievements in battle and should be named Marquis Zhongliang. Now that General Wei has gone, this title will be inherited by Mrs. Wei Xiao. In addition, the emperor also said , Since Mr. Wei Xiao likes Tongzhou, then this Tongzhou will be the fiefdom of Mr. Wei Xiao in the future. Oh no, our family should be called Zhonglianghou. Haha, haha. Marquis, look at this imperial decree..."
Eunuch Wang kept smiling until his face was almost stiff.
If the emperor personally sent this errand, he wouldn't be the one to kill him.
Nan Yuan stared blankly at the father-in-law who had a flower on his face, until she saw that the other's legs were starting to tremble, and then she said, "Well, please give me the imperial edict first."
When the prince heard this, he immediately and respectfully presented the imperial decree in his hand.
Nan Yuan glanced at the contents of the imperial decree, and discarded the imperial decree at will, "I have taken the imperial decree, but I just ask you to go back and tell the emperor, since you know the wrong judgment, you should say something. Yang Nuo, Qin Guang... These five people, they are all traitors who framed my grandfather and father, you go back and let the emperor kill them, and then issue a notice to tell the people in the world that he is the one who blamed General Wei. Well, of course I'll-"
Nan Yuan didn't finish what he said, but Eunuch Wang understood what he meant.
This Wei Lian is too dare to ask!
Yang Nuo, Qin Guang and several other ministers are all the favorite ministers around the emperor. He said this to kill them?
There is also this notice, even if the emperor does something wrong, it is impossible to admit his mistake in front of the people all over the world.
Wei Lian doesn't want to be recruited!
But Eunuch Wang has already brought the words to the table, and what happens next is none of his business.
After the prince fled away, everyone in the discussion hall suddenly became noisy.
"Lian'er, even if that Shun Jun kills the traitor and posts a notice, I don't support you accepting this Shun Jun's recruiting!" Wei Ershu said.
Uncle Wei: "This stunned lord can destroy the Wei family once, but also a second time. Lian'er, you should think twice."
Wei Hao was more direct, "Little brother, Lord Huo is not worthy of being the king of a country, we still go straight to the imperial city according to the original plan!"
Wei Feng was even more direct, "Kill this dazed prince, and support Xiaoba to sit on the throne!"
Others also support the fight to the end.
Nan Yuan felt a little emotional, and said to Xiaotang: "Before life and death, I had to coax me in all kinds of ways. How long has it been..."
Xiaotang smiled and said: "It's not that Yuanyuan is good at brainwashing."
"How can this kind of thing be called brainwashing, it's just to let them see the truth."
Nan Yuan suddenly stood up.
At this move, everyone looked at it with a sigh, and their eyes were burning.
Nan Yuan stepped on it without pausing before the royal gift plaque.
The high-quality purple-gold nanmu and the four gilded characters "Loyalty for generations" were torn apart in an instant.
Wei Xiaogong walked over from the cracked plaque with his hands on his back, his voice was slightly cold, "You think too much, I didn't agree to anything just now. Within a month, I will take off the head of that dazed gentleman."
