Shen Tang, Liu Xiangling, the iron-blooded traitor in the Southern Song Dynasty Chapter 1257: Wen Guang Zhu Xinyan, the ruler and the minister are each other's taboo
Chapter 1257: Wen Guang Zhu Xinyan, the ruler and the minister are each other's taboo
Chapter 1257: Wen Guang’s heart-wrenching words make the emperor and his ministers jealous of each other.
In the palace, Wang Chen and Xu Hongcai were admiring a new painting. Although he didn't sleep well last night, he was still in great spirits after seeing this painting with everyone's momentum.
It has to be said that some people are really not suitable to be emperors.
Just like Li Yu of the Southern Tang Dynasty, just like Huizong of the Song Dynasty, just like Wang Xi! If they are literati, they will definitely be passed down through the ages, and it is even possible to be comparable to Li Taibai of the Tang Dynasty.
However, a career is not something you can choose just by being interested.
The careers and interests of these people are obviously not the same, so the endings are very tragic.
Li Yu, the late leader of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was brought to Bianjing City by Zhao Da, and was eventually poisoned by Zhao Er. Huizong inherited the throne, but was kidnapped by the Jin Kingdom, and died miserably in the north. As for Wang Xi, well... a few years
Later, he was poisoned and killed by the impatient Zheng Zhongfu who rebelled...
It can be said that each one died more miserably than the other.
Therefore, the importance of choosing the right career is fully reflected here...
Without further ado, let’s get back to the topic. Wang and his ministers were admiring the paintings, but a chamberlain came to report, “Your Majesty, the gatekeeper Wen Guang has come to report something important!”
"Wenguang?"
Wang Chen frowned. If it were before, he would never know the name of such a small person. However, now his wealth and life are in the hands of others. Moreover, yesterday he personally sent someone to give the reward, so of course,
I know Wen Guang.
"Your Majesty, there is probably something going on outside the city. Why don't you let him come in and ask?"
Xu Hongcai on the side whispered.
Wang Chen nodded, "Go and tell him to come in!"
Not long after, Wen Guang, led by the chamberlain, came to Wang Zhen and his wife.
"The last general, Wen Guang, paid homage to the king and met Lord Xu!"
Wenguang immediately bowed to the ground and made a big salute.
"Get up!"
Wang Chen said calmly, "You are not stationed in the city, but what happened?"
"Your Majesty, no enemy attack has been detected today, but our defenders are still on alert and ready for a bloody battle at any time.
And just now, a large army came from the north, numbering nearly 20,000!"
Having said this, Wenguang stopped deliberately, with a look of embarrassment on his face.
"ah!"
Wang Chen exclaimed, "So many soldiers and horses?
Keep talking!"
"This..." Wen Guang hesitated, but did not speak.
"In front of the King, please speak out quickly!"
Xu Hongcai on the side scolded.
"Your Majesty, I don't dare to lie, but the troops and horses that came this time are the troops and horses of the general! The general said that he noticed that Jin soldiers and horses had sneaked into Kaijing, and he was worried about the safety of the king, so he led his troops to help!
but……"
"Zheng Zhongfu!"
Wang Yan exclaimed again, while Xu Hongcai on the side took a deep look at Wen Guang, with a bit of light flashing in his eyes.
"You mean, Zheng Zhongfu came with his troops?"
"The last general dared to pledge his head on his neck. On the city wall, thousands of soldiers and horses could see that the flag was the general's war flag and our military uniform. Moreover, the person shouting outside the city also said that the general had arrived.
However, although the general is also under the command of the general, as a gatekeeper, he has to put the safety of the king first. Therefore, the general made the decision without permission and still guarded the city gate and did not let the general's troops enter the city.
If the general punishes me, I will be willing to accept the punishment!"
I have to admit that maybe when it comes to fighting, I am not very good at literature and art, but when it comes to being an official, even a great general like Zheng Zhongfu is inferior.
"presumptuous!"
Before Wang Yan could speak, Xu Hongcai immediately scolded him, "Since the general is here, how dare you block the general from outside the city! This is a crime of treason! Your Majesty, although this person has a small contribution, but...
But he acted arbitrarily and should be punished! Moreover, he is a fellow countryman and recommended by me, so I should be guilty of the same crime!"
Saying that, Xu Hongcai bowed down and begged for mercy.
Wang Yan looked at the two people who were prostrate on the ground, but suddenly he raised his head and laughed, "Hahaha, Xu Qing, General Wenguang is devoted to being a lonely king, and you are the same, so why are you guilty!"
"But... Your Majesty, since the general has arrived, he naturally wants to enter the city..."
Wang Yan sneered, "Zheng Zhongfu?
General Wen Guang has done a good job. The lonely king can trust you now, but he can't trust Zheng Zhongfu. If he is really allowed to lead his troops into the city, it is impossible to say whether he will be a qin king or an assassin."
"Your Majesty, the general is devoted to the country..."
"alright!"
Wang Yan directly interrupted Xu Hongcai, "Xu Qing, you have to know that not everyone is as loyal to the lonely king as you are!"
"Go in person and confirm whether they are Zheng Zhongfu's soldiers and horses! If so, pass on this king's order and ask him to quickly return his troops to the station without delay, otherwise he will be punished for treason! As for the enemy, Wen Guang is here, and he is still here.
There are tens of thousands of imperial guards, and the lonely king has no need for Zheng Zhongfu!"
"My lord, take your orders!"
Xu Hongcai gave Wen Guang a wink, and then the two quietly left the palace.
After the two left, Wang Xi squinted his eyes and sneered, "First the golden man arrived, and then Zheng Zhongfu surrounded and killed him. Okay! Okay! What a coincidence, Zheng Zhongfu, the lonely king still underestimated you!"
"
In Wang Hui's view, even if the previous Jin men were not pretended by Zheng Zhongfu, they were colluded with Zheng Zhongfu.
As for what to say, do you really think you are a fool when you come to King Qin?
It seems that I was too kind to these generals before, which made them think like this.
However, if you want to punish Zheng Zhongfu, you still need to think long and hard.
Zheng Zhongfu is the number one person in the army, and he has many loyalists under his command. If he directly finds an excuse to punish him, it will definitely cause great turmoil, and some people may even directly rebel.
However, as he is the king and he is his minister, he will definitely win this battle.
Zheng Zhongfu outside the city felt a little panicked about this matter, because he didn't find those Jin soldiers and horses outside Kaijing. Where had they gone?
Someone asked me just now. It is said that there were even enemies attacking the city last night, and now they disappeared out of thin air?
"Send out all the scouts and find those golden men for me!"
Zheng Zhongfu knew very well that it would be fine if he found those golden people. If he couldn't find them, he would be in big trouble.
As soon as I arrived, those enemies disappeared, and now I am the one leading the army to the capital. What's so surprising about this?
"Is there a general outside the city?
My subordinate, Xu Hongcai, would like to ask the general to come forward and see you!"
At this moment, a voice slowly came down from the city wall.
Zheng Zhongfu's expression turned cold. It was this person who deceived the king and ignored his superiors. It was also this person who made himself and other generals despised by the king.
While thinking, he looked up towards the top of the city...
