Nine hundred and twentieth chapters loyal martyrdom
Zhang Xun sat in front of the window and read "Three Kingdoms". When he read the section about Zhuge Liang's departure as a teacher, he couldn't help but said: "I will devote myself to death and die. This is our wish."
The sound of rustling footsteps came from not far away. His eyes did not leave the page of the book, and he said leisurely: "Don't waste your efforts. No matter who you send here to persuade me, there is no way to sway my loyalty."
"Mr. Zhang Xun only wants to die. After his death, his reputation will last forever."
He then raised his head and saw a man wearing coarse Gebu clothes standing outside the door with his hands behind his back. He had a sparse smile and a look of disdain under his brows. Although he didn't have the ability to read faces, after seeing people all over the world,
I know that this person is no ordinary ordinary person.
"Who are you, your Excellency, who dares to come to act as a lobbyist for the rebels?"
Li Siye strolled into the monastery and looked around. The sandalwood was slowly rising from the copper stove in the room, and the furnishings looked very luxurious. Zhang Xun was still sitting cross-legged, still wearing the shabby and blood-stained midfielder, as if
The magnificence here has nothing to do with him.
"I'm just a martial artist. Unlike Mr. Zhang, you read poetry and books, and your pursuits and realm are different from others."
Zhang Xun laughed self-deprecatingly and said: "Where did Zhang come from? He only has a body of seven feet, a loyal liver and a righteous courage."
Li Siye laughed loudly: "The so-called loyalty and courage are just to gain fame after death, in the hope of being famous and famous for future generations."
"So what? I, Zhang Xun, have moved from the north to the south in my life and have made great achievements. In the future, historians will write the history of the Tang Dynasty and I will have a place in the biographies of loyal ministers. But if you associate with the rebels and help the emperor, you will be infamy for ever.
."
Li Siye had no taboo about this. He crossed his arms and smiled wildly: "I don't know anything else, but since history, there has never been anyone who has seized power and left a lasting infamy, such as Cao Cao, Sima Zhao, Yu Wentai, and Yang Jianzhi.
Liu, although there are some indecent words, he still has the reputation of a heroic Mingzhu. Today, King Yong personally quelled the rebellion of Anshi and accumulated immeasurable merits, so that he was destined to return to the Tang Dynasty. He must be regarded highly by future generations.
Pass the above ones. Don’t forget that all history is written at the behest of the victors.”
Zhang Xun suddenly raised his head to look. His guess was correct. This man was the traitor Li Siye who rebelled against the Tang Dynasty and took millions of troops to seize the north with an attempt to seize the world.
He was now unarmed and could not kill the rebel immediately, but he was very happy to use his words and make him angry.
Zhang Xun put down the book in his hand, turned around and faced Li Siye cross-legged, and began to prepare words of attack: "The official history is indeed written by the succeeding dynasty. Even an old official of the Shu Han Dynasty like Chen Shou, who lives under the Sima family, has to change his mind.
There are many flattering words for flattery. However, the right and wrong are determined by the will of God and people's hearts. Folk unofficial histories are passed down orally, and they all praise loyalty and disparage treason. Don't you know that the people call Cao a thief and respect Liu as orthodox, not to mention the bloody blood of the Sima family?
Gaopingling, forefathers rebelled and future generations will follow their example. When Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, did he ever think that his descendants would also be usurped and killed? The Sima family gained the country unfairly. They feared foreign ministers and enfeoffed the clan, which led to the Rebellion of the Eight Kings.
It has ruined the lives of people for sixteen years, and caused chaos in the world. It has made a mark in the history of the Sima family's sins."
Zhang Xun spoke heartily, and when he saw Li Siye's unkind expression, he spoke more and more happily: "The leader of the Huns who destroyed the Western Jin Dynasty was Liu Yuan, a descendant of Maodun. He conquered the country in the name of restoring the Han Dynasty.
Luoyang. What does this mean? It means that even the Huns living outside the Central Plains believe that the Sima family has sinned deeply and is not worthy of sharing the country. Is this the will of the people or the will of God? The imperial court established by those who had ulterior motives and usurped the country after Sima
, For example, as you said, Yu Wentai or Yang Jian, which one is not the king for the second and third generations? Is this the will of the human heart or the will of God?"
"Now that the Tang Dynasty is still in existence, Li Siye raises unjust troops and rebels against the obedience. So what if he temporarily takes advantage of the right time and place? Today, the people still miss us, the Tang Dynasty. If your Majesty cannot fail in the Northern Expedition, you can just consolidate the river and
Keep it, rebels will perish after three lives."
"As I sit here today, I have already prepared for the worst. If our Tang Dynasty is really attacked and destroyed by the Li thieves, even if I fall into the hell of nine reincarnations and am reborn, I will still have to be reborn by Xingyi Master to restore our Tang Dynasty and keep it safe.
Let the court founded by Li Thief pass through three generations and perish."
Zhang Xun said the harshest words in an understatement, which made Li Siye sitting opposite him feel angry. He twitched the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "Scholars are indeed sharp-tongued, but I don't believe in ghosts, gods, reincarnation, let alone anything else.
God's will. I believe that today's King Yong does not believe in these things. However, I can suggest to him that after killing you Zhang Xun, you should be cremated immediately and throw your ashes into the sea. All your clothes and utensils should also be burned to avoid
Someone secretly built a tomb for you. After Jiangnan is pacified in the future, all historical materials recording you will be burned. No matter whether it is private or temple, no scrap of paper will be left behind. In order to avoid disaster, the Zhang family will definitely kick you out of the family tree. In this case
After more than ten years under high pressure, all your deeds will be forgotten by those who come after you. I believe that with the absolute power of the leader of a country, he should be able to do it."
Zhang Xun's face turned pale at first, and then he laughed loudly: "Haha, it's better to defend the people than to defend the river. No matter how dense the fishing net is, it can't catch all the fish in the river. Is it possible that a person's existence in the long river of history is
So easy to erase? You can erase the words on the paper, but you can't erase the marks in the people's hearts. I can't see what will happen in the future, and neither can you, and there's no way to prove your delusions."
Zhang Xun is right. There is no winner or lose in this verbal confrontation. What they said can only be conjectured. No one can predict how history will develop.
Li Siye turned around and walked out of the monastery, lowering his head and pacing slowly in deep thought. Yan Zhuang hurriedly came up to meet him, and seeing his lord's face, he knew that he was also defeated.
"Since you are unwilling to submit, there is no need to keep it."
"So, where are the others?"
"Others?" Li Siye turned around and asked, "Can Nan Ba persuade him to surrender?"
"No, just like Zhang Xun, they are all stones in the pit."
"These two are unwilling to surrender. What's the point of keeping the rest alive? Let's execute them all together."
Gao Shang stepped forward and flattered him and said: "My lord, this patrol is really abominable. It would be too cheap to kill him. I have nine ways to kill him, including splitting a car, killing him with excrement, and swining people. Please make your decision, lord."
Li Siye glanced at him and said: "It's just an execution. There is no need to do so many tricks. Either beheading or hanging, you decide for yourself. After the execution, a monument will be erected for the two of them to bury them and establish their character of loyalty for future generations to praise."
"This..." Gao Shang thought Zhang Xun had angered Li Siye, but he didn't expect to receive such treatment.
Li Siye rubbed his forehead. He was really tired today. He said tiredly: "There have been so many loyal ministers and righteous men in the past and present, and there are no less than two of them."
Two days later, a dozen people including Zhang Xun, Nan Ba and their subordinates were taken to a grove outside Nanyang City and executed secretly. No common people were allowed to visit.
Yan Zhuang personally supervised the execution. As a man who changed jobs twice, he really could not accept these people who chose to hang themselves from a tree in the Tang Dynasty. He once again persuaded the two of them: "Zhang Xun, Nan Ba, you will be cut off by the blade."
The head is on the ground, it’s still too late to regret now, wouldn’t it be nice to be a high-ranking official with a generous salary?”
Zhang Xun glanced at Yan Zhuang with contempt: "Kill the thief if you want to, so there is no need to say more."
Yan Zhuang looked at Nanba again, but Nanba closed his eyes and said nothing. Zhang Xun thought he had relaxed, so he shouted: "Nanba, a seven-foot man is about to die, don't be unjust!"
Nan Ba laughed loudly and responded: "What else am I going to do? If Mr. Zhang has something to say, how can Yun dare not die?"
The executioner's blade fell, and the last loyal man of the Tang Dynasty died in the suburbs of Nanyang.
Yan Zhuang buried their bodies in a nearby grove, but did not follow Li Siye's instructions to erect tombstones or even seal the mound.
