Chapter 804 Dilemma
When the King of Shu thought of these things, he couldn't help but get angry. These officials who killed the sky really regarded him, the vassal king of the emperor, as a soft persimmon that could be bullied.
Usually, if you have any trouble, you will write a letter to impeach people from all the Shu king's palaces. You will be ruthless and impeach them if you don't like them. This makes us very unhappy. Now that the country is in trouble, they are not dedicated to their duties, and they actually hope that these vassal kings will resist the enemy.
We are the emperor and nobles, dragons, sons and phoenixes. We are born with the destiny to enjoy happiness, not work, not work for you. If they still have to go to battle to kill the enemy and defend the city, why do you officials do?
These officials are usually arrogant, with five or six people. Now they are counting on this king. The King of Shu almost cried aggrievedly, and his heart is also cold.
The King of Shu shouted: "The King of the Lone is now officially notifying you. If you do not come up with an effective strategy to protect Chengdu, the King of the Lone will evacuate here, and you will bear all the responsibilities."
Fang Youpeng saw that the King of Shu was cheating, and he was anxious and said, "Your Highness of Shu, you should know that we are now in a state of prosperity and loss. If Chengdu City cannot be saved, no one will end up."
Fang Youpeng saw that the King of Shu was preparing to take out money, grain and soldiers. Since he had this idea, he had to implement it in place and let him spit out all these things, and he would never be able to take them back.
As for what he wants to get involved in military power and regime, it is impossible.
Zhu Zhishu sneered and said, "You guys don't know how to bully the kind people and the king. Now that you are in trouble, you know how to ask for help from me. Is the king or the king? I am now officially writing to the court, impeachment and others, and I am rampant, and the people are fish and meat. Now the thieves are at the city, and they are helpless and fearful of the enemy like tigers. In order to ensure the bloodline of the King of Shu, I am ready to go to Hanzhong to avoid the cold."
When Fang Youpeng heard that Zhu Zhishang was about to leave Chengdu, he became anxious. He knew that Zhu Zhishang was the King of Shu, a symbol of everyone's stability. If he ran away, people's hearts would be even more disintegrating. And one thing is very important. Although Shu King is the King of Shu and is the supreme existence here, he is also the King of Shu. If he leaves the local area, he will be nothing and will be punished by the court. As a local official, he also shoulders the responsibility of surveillance. He sits on the spot and watches him, the King of Shu leave the local area. It is estimated that the court will also be punished.
So Fang Youpeng was anxious and said, "Your Highness, King of Shu, you should know that only if you live in Chengdu is the king of Sichuan and Shu. If you leave, you will be nothing, and even the court will blame you."
The King of Shu shouted: "That's better than death. King De of Shandong, King Lu and King Xiang of King Xiang, they just listened to the words of you dog officials. As a result, the palace fell on the day the city was destroyed and all died. Who should be the responsibility? I am not fleeing now, but going to Hanzhong to prepare food and grass to help military supplies."
This is a good idea that King Shu thought about after thinking for a few days, which was to find a place to avoid the limelight. Now, no one in Chengdu is confident that he can defend it. Since he can't defend it, there is no need to wait for death here. Everyone understands one thing, that is, stay here, there is only one way to die, that is, wait for death.
Seeing this, he decided to go to Hanzhong, which was also within Sichuan, and he did not leave his jurisdiction.
As for the King of Shu, he could not leave Chengdu, the court did not have a clear rule, and the court did not have any imperial edict to determine the matter, so he decided to do this.
Seeing this, Fang Youpeng became anxious. He said, "If the King of Shu dares to leave Chengdu, the subordinates will do their best to stop him."
These local officials actually have the responsibility to monitor the movements of the vassal kings. What if these vassal kings were allowed to do something wrong, what would that be?
Zhu Zhishu was so angry when he heard the other party say this. He said, "You, a slaughtering dog official, have neither the ability to protect me nor Chengdu. Could it be that my family will not be able to accompany you to bury me? Are you responsible for this crime? What are you responsible for?"
Fang Youpeng is usually very soft, but when it comes to this matter, he is very tough. He said: "How to be responsible for the subordinates? This is my official's business. However, as the king of Shu, he has enjoyed the offerings of the people in Shu for generations. He must not escape when Shu is in trouble. If you dare to escape, the subordinates will write to the court to request the reduction of the vassal state. It would be better not to have such a vassal state."
Zhu Zhishu was so angry that his orifices were filled with smoke when he was like this. He didn't expect that this person was so soft, but now he was so tough, and he was so strong. If he had no consent or tacit approval from the local officials, he could have left, but it would not be easy to come back, or he would not come back.
If people are not in Chengdu, how can they become vassals? The local area is eager to save 270,000 shi of food and salary every year.
Zhu Zhishu wanted to take advantage of the policy loopholes, then leave here and save his life, and even if he is so rich, he can enjoy wealth and prosperity. When the situation improves, he will return.
Think about the tragic consequences of the princes in the occupied areas of Shandong and Huguang, and the tragic consequences of these royal families have also been reported. This is that property was deprived, all males were executed, and female relatives were slapped to meritorious people.
Zhu Zhishu also knew that anyone could surrender. Only the people in their royal family could not surrender at all, and the other party would not accept their surrender. One was because of their identity; the other was because of their guilt. After all dynasties, there was a royal family that had lost their country, which could have a good ending? The Tang Empire was so powerful that it was, but after their country was destroyed, their phoenix sons and dragons were killed and killed.
So Zhu Zhishu was sure that it would be better to leave first, but he couldn't bear to leave the wealth in front of him. If the Chinese army could not attack here or he fled to another place, the court pursued him, he would not be able to escape and die after all. He was not allowed to advance or retreat, which made him very angry. He pointed at Fang Youpeng and said, "What do you want, just give the Lone King a correct letter?"
Fang Youpeng said loudly: "As the king of Shu, your highness must be here and never leave for a moment."
Zhu Zhishu said coldly: "I am not allowed to leave. What should I do if the rebels come?"
Fang Youpeng said loudly: "As the guardian of this place, the lower officials have the responsibility to guard the territory and will protect it here. When the enemy comes, they will be burned with the enemy."
Zhu Zhishu said, "Where is the king and the people in the palace?"
Fang Youpeng said loudly: "Where can you finish your eggs in the vast nest? Chengdu falls and falls into the hands of the Chinese army. How can His Highness the King of Shu survive?"
The other party said this, but they were very angry. He said loudly: "It turns out that you are forcing the Lone King to wait for death here? Now the Lone King is here to fight out of Chengdu under the protection of his personal guards. Who dares to stop me? Those who block me will die."
Fang Youpeng was not showing any weakness. He said loudly: "Unless you step on the body of Xia Guan."
Zhu Zhishu was angry and pointed at him and said, "This traitor is even worse than a Chinese thief?"
Fang Youpeng said: "The lower officials are only performing their duties as the lower officials. As the prince who guards Sichuan, His Highness can only stay here, prosper and lose together."
Zhu Zhishu still said the same thing, and he said loudly: "If I stay here, if the thieves break through the city, can you bear this responsibility?"
Fang Youpeng bowed to the direction of the capital, and he said, "Fang is incompetent, the superiors cannot protect the country, and the subordinates cannot protect the people. When the thief arrives, he will be burned with him, hold the prince, die, and repay the emperor's kindness."
After hearing these words, Zhu Zhishu was truly speechless. This man could neither take responsibility nor do things, but he would just take him to die together.
Zhu Zhishu was so angry that he pointed at Fang Youpeng and said loudly: "What are you? I will die with me. I will tell you that I must defend Chengdu no matter what, otherwise the Lone King will cut you into pieces and commit suicide to sacrifice his country. This is impossible."
Fang Youpeng was not scared by the other party's words. He said: "Since the lower officials cannot guard Chengdu, they naturally deserve to be killed. It is reasonable for His Highness to cut the lower officials into pieces. However, this official will give orders that the King of Shu will not leave the local area no matter what. If there is any violation, everyone will be punished."
Fang Youpeng also used the rogue method, which was to pull the King of Shu to die together. Such a method ate Shu Zhu Zhishu so hard that he didn't know how to deal with it. Zhu Zhishu said loudly: "You dog official, I wish I could eat your meat and drink your blood."
Fang Youpeng was not afraid. He said, "But with your highness, the emperor just wants your highness to understand that now we are all prosperous and both rich and lose. If your highness can take out some silver to serve as military supplies, you may be able to defend Chengdu. When reinforcements arrive and defeat the enemy, your highness can be the king of Shu."
The King of Shu said coldly: "Do you think you can withstand the attack of the Chinese army just by relying on you, the defeated generals?"
Fang Youpeng said: "If we fight in the field and fight head-on, we will definitely not be the enemy's opponents, but this is Chengdu, with a city with a height of the pond and deeper the pond. We will definitely not be able to attack in for a while. This is the important place of military strategists. The court will never sit idly by and watch the enemy besiege this city. When the army arrives, we can defeat the enemy inside and outside."
When Zhu Zhishu saw the other party talking with confidence, he said, "Are you sure you will win?"
Fang Youpeng said: "All officials and officials below the governors and envoys, all officials stayed to defend the city. If they failed, they would become merciless. No one could leave. They all had the will of death to repay the emperor's kindness of the family and the country, and the virtue of offerings from the people."
