Emperor Xinli ignored Ji Zong, which was obviously a very rude behavior. You must know that in etiquette, for a defeated monarch, the human king will remove the jade from his mouth to show his acceptance of surrender.
But Emperor Xin entered Chuyi City in a swaggering manner, without any intention of letting the leader of the Ba Kingdom go. A trace of viciousness flashed across Ji Zong's eyes.
Other ministers, such as Huang Feihu, were waiting outside, Deng Jiugong was stationed at Sanshan Pass, Su Quanzhong, Yu Hua, and Shen Gongbao were following behind, while Kong Xuan stayed at his left and right.
"Is this Chuyi Palace?"
Looking at the wooden attic, inlaid with gold and silver, it is extremely luxurious. In addition to showing the wealth of the country of Pakistan, it also shows the greed of the country's owner.
"The wine and meat of Zhumen stinks, and the bones are frozen to death on the road!"
Di Xin's extremely sarcastic words made Ji Zong, who was facing the crime behind him, turn blue and white for a while, but he didn't know whether he was angry or ashamed.
The main hall of Chuyi Palace is even more magnificent. Not only is it decorated with various gold and silver jewelry, but also all kinds of porcelain produced by the Yin Shang Dynasty.
"Jizong! Ruogu's guess is right, your Ba country is only less than ten years old."
"Well... the guilty minister... is... nine years!"
Ji Zong didn't know what Di Xin wanted to say, he lowered his head and didn't know what to say.
"I have been to Wuxi Man before. They were poor there and only had one meal a day, wandering between life and death. But here you are magnificent and luxurious. This is a serious crime and cannot be punished!"
As soon as Di Xin glared, Ji Zong knelt down with a "pop".
"Your Majesty! The Wuxi Barbarians are just a group of barbarians, and their life and death have nothing to do with their guilty ministers."
"shut up!"
When Di Xin heard this, he opened his eyes angrily!
"Wuxi barbarians, or other barbarians, are all human beings. What's more, under your governance, as the leader of the country, you have the obligation to feed them and wear warm clothes. This is your responsibility. How can you ignore it?
Words of life and death!”
When Emperor Xin said this, not only Ji Zong was shaken like chaff, but also all his ministers begged for mercy. What's more, they publicly insulted Ji Zong as a coward. It was Ji Zong who was like this, which made the people poor.
"Come here! Drag those bastards who insulted Ji Zong out and beat them to death with sticks!"
Di Xin suddenly shouted loudly, and then a group of tall and strong guards came in and dragged the ministers down. Amidst a burst of screams, they were beaten to death by the guards with a few sticks.
"Hmph! You are also the subordinates of Ji Zong. Even if the king is wrong, how can you insult the old master by admonishing him with his literary skills and fighting with your sword? This kind of villain behavior is what Gu hates the most!"
Emperor Xin was shocked by thunder, and after a few words, he captured all the Ba courtiers.
Kong Xuan kept nodding aside, as if what Di Xin said was exactly his idea.
[Due to hearing Emperor Xin’s words, Kong Xuan’s loyalty increased to 40%]
[Because of hearing Emperor Xin’s words, Shen Gongbao’s loyalty increased to 30%, and the national destiny and Yin merchants shared 3%]
[Because of hearing Di Xin’s words, Su Quanzhong’s loyalty increased to 70%, and Yu Hua’s loyalty increased to 80%]
…
"I know the crime!"
Fortunately, Ji Zong knelt on the ground and looked guilty.
"Ji Zong, write down an order to order Ba Manzi who is stationed in Jiangzhou to surrender, so that your crime can be alleviated."
When he got to the main topic, Ji Zong suddenly burst into tears. When he cried, his subordinates all appeared to be crying.
"King Shang, that Bamanzi betrayed the king a long time ago. If he hadn't preserved his strength, why would the king have surrendered without fighting?"
Speaking of the sad part, Ji Zong burst into tears again, looking heartbroken.
"Oh? Don't you have any way to restrain the general outside?!"
Di Xin looked at Ji Zong from the performance department in front of him and showed a smile, but this smile seemed so terrifying to Ji Zong.
"No! Ba Manzi has a very high prestige in the country of Ba. He is a man of few people! It is difficult to check and balance the guilty ministers."
After saying that, Ji Zong swallowed his saliva with a guilty conscience.
"Oh! I heard that Ba has three thousand Taoist soldiers. Where are these Taoist soldiers now?"
When Ji Zong heard what the Human King said, he immediately swallowed his saliva and said, "Your Majesty, those Dao soldiers have long since escaped. Moreover, they were borrowed. How can the guilty minister control them?"
"Oh, that's it! Since you are useless! Come here! Push out the door and behead!"
Di Xin said it normally, but the coldness in his tone made Ji Zong feel chilled to the bone.
When most people are on the verge of life and death, their will to survive is far greater than their own ambitions, and this Ji Zong is such a person.
"Your Majesty! The guilty minister is useful. The guilty minister has a way to make Ba Manzi surrender!"
Just when the swordsman was about to enter the hall, Ji Zong took him away. Ji Zong knelt on the ground and kowtowed as if pounding garlic.
"explain!"
"Your Majesty! Ba Manzi's family members are now in Chuyi City, and there is a list of guilty officials. They are the families of thirty generals in Ba Manzi's army. Please spare your life, Your Majesty!"
After saying that, Ji Zong burst into tears. It seemed that the old boy was really frightened.
"where?"
"Right over there the third brick is down!"
After that, the guard knocked open the brick and found a wooden box, which contained the list and addresses of the family members of the Bamanzi Army.
Di Xin showed a strange smile, especially when he looked at Ji Zong, which made Ji Zong even look at him.
So he leaned down and whispered, "Ji Zong! What does Xibohou have to do with you?"
When Ji Zong heard this, he shook his head and said, "It doesn't have anything to do with it, Your Majesty!"
"It's already reached this point, why don't you tell the truth?"
"Even if the king kills the guilty minister, the guilty minister would not dare to say anything."
Ji Zong had an extremely ugly expression on his face. Di Xin must have understood when he saw his expression.
"Taijiang must be your mother!"
Ji Zong's hair stood on end! He backed away repeatedly, as if he was looking at a monster.
"It seems that Gu's guess is good. I have long heard that Tai Jiang is the mastermind behind Xiqi. I have never had the opportunity to meet her. Otherwise, Gu really wants to meet this strange woman."
Except for Tai Jiang, there may be no one else who could be praised so highly by Di Xin.
Ji Zong didn't speak, but his performance said everything.
"Come here! Send Ji Zong to Youli. You can go see your brother!"
Emperor Xin waved his hand and made the final treatment to Ji Zong. The leader of the Ba Kingdom seemed to have lost his temper and collapsed on the ground, allowing the guards to carry him away.
…
"Your Majesty! Do you want to use the people on this list to force Ba Manzi from Jiangzhou?"
Shen Gongbao cupped his hand and immediately asked.
"How can a woman be benevolent, Yu Hua! Su Quanzhong! Go get him!"
"I obey the decree!"
After some troubles, Di Xin sat on the wooden hall and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty! If the leader of the Ba Kingdom does not hand over this list in the end, I expect that the king will still send troops to wipe out the remaining Ba Kingdom forces in Jiangzhou!"
After seeing all the courtiers of Ba Kingdom leaving, Shen Gongbao asked this question.
Kong Xuan, who had closed his eyes to rest, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Shen Gongbao and even Di Xin.
Di Xin nodded and said, "Solving problems with minimal loss has always been Gu's principle, even if this principle is a bit cruel!"
Shen Gongbao smiled. Sure enough, behind the cruelty of the human king, there was great wisdom. Now, Shen Gongbao admired this human king even more.
[Due to admiring the king of people, Shen Gongbao’s loyalty increased to 40%, and the national fortune and Yin merchants shared 4%]
