Han Shizu

Chapter 1112 The Death of Uighur Khan

Before waiting for Chai Rong to arrive in Beijing at Qionglinyuan, the royal club, Liu Chengyou also received another person, Jingqiong, Khan of Ganzhou Uighur.As early as after the Gansu area was basically pacified, Jing Qiong, as a conquered monarch, was taken to Tokyo as a captive.

He was also broken into the country and became a captive monarch. Compared with his predecessors, the treatment Jing Qiong enjoyed was completely incomparable.All the way guarded by soldiers, escorted by car, without any preferential treatment, but suffered a lot. When he arrived in Tokyo, the only arrangement was to be sent to the prison of Li Fan Yuan, and no one asked him for a long time.

The reason for the big difference is also very simple. The big Han Xiping Gansu, the fight was not happy, and there were many people who were dissatisfied.Compared with other wars, the casualties in recovering Hexi are generally not heavy, but the feeling of being "offended" is always unpleasant.

After finding out the reason, we still have to look at the opponent's performance.If everything develops according to the established strategy and the direction expected by the Han monarch and ministers, it may be another way of saying it.After all, from the perspective of the plan itself, it is not above board.

However, it was the Ganzhou Uighurs who were unwilling to sink, and gave the Han army a sap with a blow with all their strength, and almost succeeded, causing the big Han to suffer heavy losses and bringing more variables to the situation in Hexi.

Of course, there is no reason in the world not to allow others to resist. Rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry. Objectively speaking, the behavior of Ganzhou Uighurs is understandable, but there is not so much rationality and objectivity in the world.

Power is the last word, and this last word is in the hands of the Han court. Therefore, the Uighurs in Ganzhou's surprise attack on the Han army is disobedience and treason, and they should be criticized and severely punished.

The empire has become unified and powerful, but it also has a disease, a big country disease, and a feeling of arrogance and conceit is growing.Although Confucianism emphasizes moderation, virtue, and etiquette, it also depends on whom to treat. Even within the empire, there are not many nobles and scholar-bureaucrats who can be courteous to the common people, let alone Siyi.

For the Uighur Khan Jing Qiong, Liu Chengyou had no interest in meeting him. Emperor Liu had absolutely no need to show off his power in front of a captive, and that was not conducive to his compulsion.

The reason why I saw him was just because Jing Qiong wanted to see him before he died, and wanted to see with his own eyes what the emperor of the Han Dynasty who killed him in Ganzhou Uighur looked like.That's right, without any heated discussions, Jing Qiong was executed. She was not the lord of a foreign country, but a traitor of the Han Dynasty. The double standard was severe.

As for Emperor Liu, he showed mercy and decided to give Jing Qiong a chance to meet the culprit who ruined the country and family.

As soon as we met, Jing Qiong was quite proud. He had lost a lot of weight and had gray hair after all the hardships. However, he refused to bow down to Emperor Liu. However, his legs were obviously not strong enough. With friendly help, the pair of knees still landed on the ground, crawling in front of the big man emperor.Even so, Jing Qiong still looked straight ahead boldly, as if he wanted to remember Emperor Liu's appearance in his heart, take him to hell, take him to the next life, and reincarnate for revenge
Liu Chengyou also looked at Jing Qiong. He didn't look young, but he was tall and strong. He looked like a strong man. He heard that before he was captured, he personally beheaded five Han army officers and soldiers on horseback.Facing his gaze, which was clearly full of deep-seated hatred, Liu Chengyou felt like a high-ranking villain.

With such strong hatred against him, there is only one dead end.

"The Uighurs have been friends with the imperial court for more than ten years. Why did they turn their backs on the imperial court with malicious intentions and blatantly mobilize a crowd to attack our soldiers who marched west? Now that I have been reduced to a prisoner under my rank, with ax and ax on my body, have you ever regretted it?" Liu Chengyou asked proactively.

Wen asked, Jing Qiong asked in a low voice: "Is the Han army going to the west really to save Xizhou?"

"Naturally!" Liu Chengyou said calmly, without blushing and heart beating: "Xizhou and the imperial court have been friendly for more than ten years, and they are no less than Gansu. The envoy Pu Le, who has gone through all kinds of difficulties and dangers, came east to ask for help, weeping and crying, I feel pity for him in my heart, infected by his loyalty, so I send troops to rescue him!"

"Speaking of which, you both come from the same origin as the Uighurs in Xizhou, and you once asked for help, but it's a pity that I didn't remember my former friendship and refused his request!"

Faced with Emperor Liu's remarks, Jing Qiong almost scolded him, but the reaction was not too great, he just sneered and said: "I heard that the Central Plains is a country of etiquette, and the emperor of the Han Dynasty even talked about the constitution of heaven. Don't you feel ashamed to make such lies?"

"Bold!" Yan Tuo was not there, but hearing the barbarian offend the emperor so much, an accompanying eunuch couldn't help it, as if he had suffered a great humiliation, and angrily reprimanded him.

Liu Chengyou waved his hand, and he didn't care about it: "I didn't expect that the Uyghur Khan would have such a sharp mouth, and he also knows how to express the constitution of heaven, and he also knows how to say a word, it's amazing!"

"I have read the books of the Han people, and I have heard about the history of the Han people!" Jing Qiong kept her head up, and continued to speak in a sarcastic tone: "The imperial court is called Xi'an Gaochang, but it is actually a picture of me. Gansu, who can hide such a shallow scheme, really think that I, the Uighurs, are ignorant fools?"

"It seems that I have underestimated you!" Liu Chengyou still smiled slightly: "However, since you have also read the classics of the Han family, have you ever known that the whole world is the land of the king, and the shore of the land is the king's minister?"

"Are you admitting the conspiracy against me in Gansu?" Jing Qiong said bitterly.

"So what?" Liu Chengyou said calmly, as if I had a showdown.

"Since this is the case, I gathered troops to fight in order to defend my family and the country and continue my Uyghur foundation. What is there to blame?" Obviously, after the "trial" of the court, the arrogant attitude and thinking of the Han Dynasty court, Jing Qiong looked very sad and angry.

Hehe smiled, Liu Chengyou said: "What's the result?"

"Because of your sneak attack, blood flowed into rivers in Hexi, and people in Gansu were devastated. Is this your original intention to protect your home and country?" Liu Chengyou's tone was still calm.

Mentioning this, Jing Qiong's eyes immediately turned red. He had witnessed the killings committed by the Han army. His women were humiliated and his relatives were killed. I'm afraid he is going to get violent, try to die with Emperor Liu.

The eyes of hatred almost turned into reality, Jing Qiong almost roared, and said to Liu Chengyou: "The Han army has always praised the army of benevolence and righteousness, but it brazenly killed the prisoners and civilians. In my opinion, it has nothing to do with the beasts in Hexi." What's the difference, sooner or later there will be retribution!"

"So, if I ask you again, have you ever regretted it?" Liu Chengyou still had the same calm tone.

"Why do you regret it?" Jing Qiong growled.

Seeing this, Liu Chengyou sighed, and then said with a bit of dismay: "You insisted on seeing me, and I have satisfied you. Since you have no regrets, you can go to die without worries!"

Without waiting for him to say anything else, he waved his hand and ordered the guard: "Fa You Si, execute it!"

Liu Chengyou could tell that this guy wanted to see him because he wanted to question and vent.Regarding this, he only felt that there was no disturbance in his heart, and the most important thing was that he couldn't empathize with him. The bitterness of the loser and the pain of the subjugated were really of little value to Emperor Liu.

At the same time, I also felt that fortunately, the westward advance was early, and with Uighur Khan's performance, if he had been delayed for a longer period of time, he might really have caused some accidents and added trouble to the court.

"This kind of barbarian is extremely rude. He even offended Tianwei. It is an unforgivable crime. Why do you have to meet the officials? It's just spoiling your interest!" When Liu Chengyou was about to practice calligraphy, the eunuch who was waiting on him said something tentatively.

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou reached out his hand to stroke the tip of the pen, and while dipping in the ink, he said lightly: "Give respect to those who are about to die! No matter what, they are the defeated generals of my subordinates, the prisoners of the ranks, and the victors. Why care about the roar and cry of the loser."

Emperor Liu just said casually, but the servant who continued to study ink was pleasantly surprised. Taking advantage of Yan Tuo's absence, he took the initiative to say something, which actually caused the officials to feel a sense of honor for saying such words.

For these slaves, even if the emperor said a word, it was a kindness to them.
