Chapter 4339: The two friends debated the punishment
On the third day, there were crowds of people at the gate of the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
Wang Hong was wearing an official robe, standing among the crowd, and Zhang Shao stood side by side with him. Both of them frowned slightly. It was late afternoon, and the officials who came here had just witnessed something happening at Caishikou.
At the execution site, some timid officials who had never seen anyone killed before were still pale, just like Wang Hong now.
Zhang Shao looked at Wang Hong, who was pale and trembling slightly, and said with a smile: "Xiu Yuan (Wang Hong's word), you have also been on the battlefield. Why are you so afraid of this after seeing how many people were killed just now?
?”
Wang Hong calmed down and glanced around to make sure that except for a few guards, no one could hear the two talking. He whispered: "I say Maozong (Zhang Shao's word), you are making fun of me all day long, right?
You know very well that I didn’t fight the demon thief at all at that time. When I heard the battle report from He Wuji, I immediately avoided it. I didn’t see the battle. Is this deliberately entertaining me?"
Zhang Shao smiled and waved his hand: "I understand, I understand. You saw the people killed today and thought that Wei Shunzhi who escaped from the battle the day before yesterday was also chopped in this way, so you were scared, right." He smiled even more.
Feeling proud, he smiled and patted Wang Hong on the shoulder, which even aroused the sideways glances of some people around him about ten steps away.
Wang Hong was angry and ashamed, and fiercely threw away Zhang Shao's hand: "You have such a broken mouth, I really want to sew it up with a needle. This is in public, and we are not drinking and admiring the moon, or
It was when I was always bragging and spanking on duty. As time goes by, if you expose me like this again, I will fall out with you."
Zhang Shao smiled and patted Wang Hong on the back, and whispered: "Okay, no more joking. Xiu Yuan, your situation is different from Wei Shunzhi's. He was beheaded mainly because he led the soldiers and left them behind.
Friendly troops and subordinates run away and do nothing to save them. This is a violation of military law. You are a civil servant, and even the government guards under your command have been recruited by He Zhengnan. He has also issued an order that if the front is defeated, you civil servants can evacuate immediately. This military law is
If I can't deal with it on your head, you can rest assured."
Wang Hong calmed down a little and glared at Zhang Shao hatefully: "What you said is just a bit human. However, if you hurt me like this just now, you will at least treat me to two meals later. No, at least
You have to treat me to three meals of salted duck to appease my hurt heart!"
Zhang Shao laughed: "Okay, I promise you, you kid, you didn't learn anything else from Liu Changshi, but you learned a lot from his gluttony. If you get fat like him in the future, you won't be able to walk like him."
Donglu, I can’t be friends with you either.”
Wang Hong said proudly: "In life, eating and drinking come first, and you can't treat your stomach badly. You said that when our brothers were working under Liu Changshi, we had to do official business every day until midnight. If it weren't for the support of
How can we endure it if we have to eat all the time? Liu Changshi has a lot of things to do every day. He is at work at least nine out of twelve hours. If we don’t eat more, our body will collapse. Let’s eat more.
It’s also for official business, for the country, not for myself, right?”
Zhang Shao sighed softly: "Yes, it's a pity that our fat Zhuge is not here. Look, some dog and cat dare to make trouble at this time. Even the prince of Sima Yuanxian
, all fell from the sky, and even fools knew what it was for."
Wang Hong frowned: "I haven't recovered yet, what's going on? Didn't even the Princess of Kuaiji confirm that the token was given by her back then?"
Zhang Shao curled his lips disdainfully: "It's true that the token was given by her, but how could she recognize the child who was not even born that year? Didn't Xie Hui say this, and interrogated those who brought the children to visit their relatives?
The guy who asked for directions finally confessed that he was a child stolen from the Di tribe in the Dabie Mountains. The stolen token was lost in a bag. The real son of Sima Yuanxian, Sima Xiuxi, had died in his mother's womb long ago.
Lila. This is a fake. They want to take the opportunity to get it back to seek wealth."
Wang Hong shook his head, his brows still furrowed: "I don't think it's right. If you were asking for wealth, why did you go there before? When the world was peaceful for so many years, you didn't come back to acknowledge your ancestors and ask for wealth. Now you are a demon.
The army of thieves is pressing down on the country, and now they can actually run from the Dabie Mountains to Jiankang City to seek wealth and honor? Do you know what the excuse was for the thieves to raise their troops back then? It was because Sima Yuanxian wanted to recruit troops for the Northern Expedition, which made all the villagers in Wudi happy.
He joined the army in the name of his subordinates, which caused the demon-thief rebellion that lasted for more than ten years. The one they hated most was probably Sima Yuanxian's family. Now that he came back and recognized Sima Yuanxian as his father, he inherited not only the prince of Kuaiji, but also the prince of Kuaiji.
Maybe it’s also the monstrous blood feud. If Jiankang is defeated, he will die extremely tragically!”
Zhang Shao nodded: "You are right. It is not a good thing for a prince and grandson of Kuaiji to appear at this time, but the princess of Kuaiji actually recognized a grandson whom she has never met before. Don't you think this is too hasty and too careless?
Is it a little weird?"
Wang Hong's eyes flashed coldly: "Recognizing your grandson is only the first step. The Princess of Kuaiji was born in the Wang family of Taiyuan. This branch has already been defeated by the two brothers Wang Guobao and Wang Yu. They destroyed the family and were defeated.
The only remaining king, Wang Huilong, defected to the Later Qin Dynasty and became a traitor to the country. The Princess of Kuaiji only escaped disaster because she married Sima Daozi. Now both the King of Kuaiji and the Wang family of Taiyuan have no descendants and no successors.
Yes, she recognizes such a grandson. Whether it’s true or not, I’m afraid she wants to revive the two families. At least there is hope for a revival.”
Zhang Shao sneered and said: "It is said that in the peaceful period, if such a grandson came back, there was still the possibility of passing on the title and continuing the wealth, but now, I am afraid it is a different matter. Liu Tingyun must have other accomplices, even
The Tiandao Alliance is also hiding in the shadows. I think this is a means of their conspiracy."
Having said this, Zhang Shao looked at Xie Hun, who was standing in the front row without saying a word, and Xi Sengshi, who was standing at the other end deliberately keeping a distance from him, and said coldly: "I heard that Xi Sengshi yesterday
Secretly went to Liu Yi's camp, while Xie Hun went to the palace city to meet Mrs.
, maybe they are related to this matter!"
Wang Hong shook his head: "Okay, this matter is over. The Princess of Kuaiji witnessed the execution of the guards who brought Sima Xiuxi with her own eyes. She was so angry that she fainted. Xie Hui also announced the confessions of these people,
They were said to be deserters and bandits who wanted to swindle money. The Queen Dowager was also anxious about her grandson and was deceived for a moment. As for these people have no backing and are just seeking money, that is to say, the case is over and there will be no further investigation. "
