Chapter 888: Bearing a thorn to plead guilty, the benevolence of Emperor Chu
That night, Xiang Ta secretly pretended to be a pawn and got into a troop transport vehicle heading to Shouchun, the imperial capital.
After he returned to the imperial capital, it was already more than twenty days later. During this period, Xiang Yu also found a reason to stabilize Yang Kai, Yang Xi and the others, and handed over the command of the front line to Yang Kai.
, and then returned to the imperial capital, but secretly went to Pengcheng.
Although Yang Kai was a little surprised, he didn't doubt Xiang Yu too much. He also knew very well that after that big defeat, Xiang Yu's future would be bleak. At this time, it was normal for him to want to go back and find connections to protect himself.
Moreover, he didn't have time to doubt his own people. The soldiers and horses of Daxia on the front line were still there, and he still had a lot of headaches!
However, Xiang Yu, who was heading to Pengcheng, didn't know that although Xiang Yu returned to the imperial capital, everything not only did not develop in the path he expected, but also went in the opposite direction.
On the night when Xiang Ta returned to the imperial capital, he secretly hid it from the guards and servants in the palace, quietly found Xiang Liang, and then Xiang Liang brought him to Xiang Yan.
After hearing what Xiang Ta said about Xiang Yu's decision, the main leaders of the Xiang family present were all dumbfounded. No one among them would have expected that Xiang Yu would dare to do this.
Come.
The only one who is willing to support Xiang Yu is Xiang Zhuang. As Xiang Zhuang, he should not be qualified to come, but their room is sparsely populated, and his father died of illness not long ago, so as a junior
He became the head of their house.
Others, even Xiang Liang, who regarded Xiang Yu as his own son, were forced by the situation. They were worried that once Xiang Yu's affairs were exposed, their whole Xiang family would end up being slaughtered, so they were forced to do what Xiang Yu said.
Do it and make peace with it.
"Unworthy descendants, have all the principles of loyalty and righteousness you have learned since elementary school gone into the dog's belly?" Xiang Yan looked at each of these people, whether voluntarily or out of compulsion, wanting to be with Xiang Yu's unworthy descendants.
The sons and nephews who were complicit in the crime started yelling curses.
What made him even more frustrated was that the grandson he valued most was actually such an ambitious and weak person.
So what if you lose the battle? If you lose the battle, you are incompetent. If it is really your responsibility, then just take it, even if you really want to behead your head, you will admit it! A good man is born in heaven and earth, and he should be worthy of his heart.
These should never be excuses for him to resort to such wild and ambitious methods.
"Xiang Liang, when you go to Pengcheng, you must stop that unscrupulous descendant!"
"Tell that unworthy descendant that if he really dares to commit such a rebellious act, he is no longer a descendant of my Xiang family!" Xiang Yan was so angry that she pointed at Xiang Liang's nose and ordered.
He still wanted to stay in the imperial capital and let the boy have some scruples when doing things. As for persuading Xiang Yu to turn around before he really made a big mistake, he could only leave it to Xiang Liang.
As long as Xiang Yu is persuaded to come back before he actually launches his army, there will be room for turning back.
However, Xiang Yan underestimated Xiang Yu's speed. Wu Zhima can travel thousands of miles in a day. When Xiang Liang was still halfway, Xiang Yu had already arrived at Pengcheng, and Long Qie was willing to follow him as he expected.
.
As a result, after Xiang Yu's defeat, another thing that shocked the Chu Dynasty happened. Xiang Yu used Pengcheng as his base and brazenly entered the Chen Dynasty.
Although Xiang Yu did not raise a flag of rebellion with this move, there was no difference between what he did and directly raising a flag of rebellion.
As soon as he received the news, Xiang Yan knelt down in person in the rain and held a thorn on the thorn outside the palace gate to plead guilty, asking to personally lead the troops to kill the rebel ministers and fulfill the name of the Xiang family's loyalty.
To everyone's surprise, the Emperor of Chu did not express his anger at the Xiang family because of Xiang Yu's incident. Instead, as soon as he heard that Xiang Yan braved the rain and stood under a bush to plead guilty, he also ran barefoot from the palace.
In front of the palace gate, he personally helped Xiang Yan up and welcomed him into the main hall.
Not only did he not blame Xiang Yan, but he also comforted Xiang Yan so that he did not have to be so angry because of an unfilial descendant.
As for Xiang Yan's suggestion of personally leading troops to kill the rebels, Emperor Chu refused directly, claiming that he could not bear the fratricide of his loved ones and would leave the matter of leading troops to other generals.
Xiang Yan was originally a loyal person, but Emperor Chu treated him even more favorably now, which made him feel even more guilty. Even if Emperor Chu came back again and again, he still insisted on asking to personally lead troops to put down the rebel. Even Chu
If the emperor doesn't agree, he will die on his knees under the heavy rain!
Even if Emperor Chu didn't want to agree, Xiang Yan's attitude meant that if he didn't agree, he would have no choice but to agree.
"Ding, Xiang Yan has completed the achievement and apologized. The current three random attributes are permanently increased by one, Commander 1, Politics 1, Charisma 1. The current attributes of Xiang Yan have been raised to Commander 99 (1), Force 91, Intelligence 80, Politics 72 ( 1
),Charm 83(1).
Han An’s two random attributes are permanently 1, politics 1, and charm 1. The current attributes have been raised to commander 51, force 47, intelligence 96, politics 99, and charm 93.”
As the protagonist who bears the thorn to plead guilty, after completing the achievement, not only Xiang Yan himself received the reward from the system, but also the person who was blamed for bearing the thorn, also received the reward, but it was slightly less.
It can also be seen from Han An's attributes that you can say that this Emperor of Chu has some problems with his character, but you can never say that he has problems with his abilities.
After all, because of the late emperor's fun-loving temperament, he was able to help the late emperor stabilize the court for decades as a prince and manage the great Chu in an orderly manner.
"Father, have you been more lenient to that Xiang Yan...have you been more lenient to that Xiang Yan?" As the prince who had observed the whole thing, after Emperor Chu ordered people to send Xiang Yan back, he finally couldn't help but ask.
His doubts.
After all, the late emperor not only loved to play, but was also so lively that when the Emperor of Chu came to the throne, he was already an old man and had grandchildren, not to mention sons.
"Leniency?"
"What else?" Chu Emperor Han An asked in return.
"Xiang Yu conspired to rebel, and he should be punished for a certain crime! Even if Xiang Yu's clan is not punished, it should still be sent to the frontier!" the prince said seriously.
The crime of rebellion should be dealt with severely and set an example for the people of the world to understand that rebellion comes with a cost.
"This is just a temporary hatred! It is not helpful to the current situation."
Han An rarely wanted to teach his son something more today.
"Although my father's move is benevolent, if things go on like this, everyone in the world will think that my father is weak and can be bullied!" The prince still disagreed.
