warring states careerist

Chapter 486
The palace room has been in chaos since noon.

The monarchs and ministers of Fei already knew that the people had intercepted the news of the messengers, and the news from the outside was that the people had gathered.

The ministers and ministers of all parties are as anxious as ants on a hot pot. If there is a coup d'etat in normal times, these nobles may have been prepared long ago, holding private soldiers and soldiers to maneuver in the coup d'etat to obtain the maximum benefit.

The coup d'état of Gong Gong after the Song Dynasty can be regarded as a typical example. The nobles relied on their private soldiers to formulate the policy of "three clans co-government and mutual non-aggression".

But this time, the angry people and the Mohists who had been preparing for several years did not give these people the slightest preparation.

The monarch is not dead, the Mohists just ignite the fire with the help of the border escape, and use Meng Sheng's way of benevolent government to blow the wind.

From the failure to seek a benevolent government to the buffer between the two sides, it took only a few days, and the nobles had no time to gather their troops.

The countrymen in the capital are the monarch's greatest support, but now the countrymen have stood on the other side of the monarch, and Fei Jun is helpless.

In desperation, the monarch and his ministers were trying to find their own way of life. Someone suggested that Fei Jun escape from the dog hole behind the palace. Fei Jun also put aside his elegant status as an aristocrat and decided to go into the dog hole.

For the time being, the soldiers still have an organization and are guarding the walls of the palace. They are in a daze. The "loyalty" taught in the past is to be loyal to the monarch. Some people may waver, but at this time the organization is not completely chaotic. Be able to stay on the defensive.

Fei Jun packed up a lot of gold and jade, and before he decided to escape from the dog hole, he asked Zhe Yangzi to go with him for "love". Once he escaped, he could also serve as a guard and drive.

Zhe Yangzi's fingers slightly touched the hilt of the sword. Before the chaos, he climbed up to the city wall to watch.

When he was watching, the cannon was not close, but he saw the people who had formed formations with guns, and he could also hear some preaching and the sound of drums and flutes after the formations.

After just one glance, Zhe Yangzi was convinced that this "coup" was far from simple and completely different from the past.

It is impossible for the hundreds of soldiers in the palace to defeat the people outside.

And he also has his own judgment, the people outside are so organized and advancing in formation, don't the people behind them know to close the city gate?

If I flee with the monarch, once the city gate is closed, I will be captured.And the people are so angry that they heard that the monarch is treasonous. This will not be a coup d'état that makes the monarch flee the country, but a coup d'état that kills the king.

He pressed his fingers on the hilt of the sword, and hearing that the monarch still let him flee together at a critical moment, his heart was still touched after all.

It's just that this matter can be interpreted differently.

It can be understood that this is love, the monarch loves him, so in such a critical situation, he still does not forget to let him escape from the dog hole together.

But it can also be understood that this is a use, the monarch wants to use him, and someone will guard, drive, and protect him when he is fleeing...

Zhe Yangzi hardly hesitated, and chose to understand it as the latter, so the last trace of guilt in his heart turned into a kind of anger.

From the guilt that he loves me so much but I still want to kill him, to the anger that he treats me just to protect me.

Or perhaps, the most fundamental reason is simply because Zhe Yangzi saw the people gathered outside and guessed that the city gate had been closed, and now there was only one dead end for fleeing, and his wealth and status would come to an end.

So when the monarch stretched out his hand and wanted to flee together with him, Zheyangzi suddenly drew his sword and stabbed Fei Jun in the abdomen. Protecting the king's killing technique, he stabbed Fei Jun to death.

Fei Jun died so quickly that there was no time to show all kinds of eyes such as resentment, bewilderment, and anger after being betrayed.

Because Zhe Yangzi acted quickly and with high means, he had to kill Fei Jun, because he had mentioned to Fei Jun the suggestion of turning Fei country into a battlefield and massacring the people.

But now that Fei Jun is dead, no one will know that he has said these words.

Then, holding up the bloody sword, he killed several other guards around Fei Jun, wiped the sword gracefully, squatted down and even cut off Fei Jun's head, holding it in his hand.

After crawling out of the dog hole, Zhe Yangzi put the bloody head aside, straightened his clothes, wiped the blood with Fei Jun's clothes, restored the elegance of Mr. Pianpian, and put Fei Jun's head Hanging at his waist, he walked straight to the gate of the palace where the people gathered.

He walked in shock, with a smile of a benevolent man achieving righteousness, looking at the bronze cannons that had been dragged this way, he admired his judgment even more in his heart.

When he approached the crowd forming a formation for about dozens of steps, he stretched out his hand and raised Fei Jun's head, and shouted: "The unrighteous king has been punished by me!"

After shouting three times, someone finally recognized him and asked in surprise, "Aren't you Zhe Yangzi?"

Zhe Yangzi raised his head and said, "Exactly."

Someone in the crowd shouted: "Is that really the head of the tyrant? You are not his close servant, why did you kill him?"

Zheyangzi laughed loudly and said: "In the past, King Wen was the minister of King Zhou. Why did King Wu want to attack Zhou? This is not the destiny, but because King Wen and King Wu obeyed the will of heaven and punished for the benefit of the people in the world. Punishment is righteousness, you Ask me why I want to kill him, then why did you take up arms and come before the palace?"

"When you ask me why, isn't it like a hungry person who is eating, but asking the person who is eating next to him why he wants to eat?"

"For the benefit of the country, killing one person will benefit all the people, why not kill him?"

He said that he was full of fighting spirit, holding his head up, as if he didn't care about the surprised eyes around him, and walked straight to Wei Rang's position.

When he was ten steps away, he put the sword at his waist on the ground and said, "My sword is used to kill unjust kings, not to kill every ten steps. This is Fei Jun's head."

"Nowadays, there are still soldiers in the palace. They are also common people and don't know the righteousness. Is there any warrior who is willing to go to the palace with me and persuade those who don't know the righteousness to lay down their weapons?"

After that, he shouted majesticly: "Is there any warrior willing to come with me?"

He raised Fei Jun's head and shouted three times.

Then he sighed: "If you attack the palace gate, there will be casualties. I have a heart of universal love. Everyone in the world cherishes their own lives, so how can I bear it? Although it is dangerous, it may be beneficial to the world if fewer people die. "

When dozens of people with swords shouted: "The true righteous man! I will go!"

Ximen Tu even flicked his sword and praised: "Zheyangzi raised his righteousness and punished the tyrant. He should be the first meritorious service. He has a benevolent heart and can't bear the chaos of war. He is a true sage!"

Zhe Yangzi said loudly: "Before the palace, there may be danger. However, for the sake of righteousness and for the benefit of the country, it is not a pity to die. If I die, please remember that I died for righteousness!"

Although there was no autumn wind for a while, there was a sense of bleakness. Dozens of warriors followed Zhe Yangzi with swords. Zhe Yangzi bypassed the armed crowd and came to the palace.

On the palace wall, someone saw Fei Jun's head mentioned by Zhe Yangzi, and cursed loudly: "Zhe Yangzi, Fei Jun treated you well, gave you a fief and a salary, you killed the king for disloyalty!"

Zhe Yangzi laughed and said: "No! My salary is created by the people with their labor. The salary of cannibalism is a matter of loyalty! The salary I eat is provided by the people. I am loyal to the interests of the people of Feiguo. How can I do that?" Can you say I'm unfaithful?"

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and shouted at the people who followed him, "Say, is this the truth?"

The crowd shouted in unison: "Yes!"

Zhe Yangzi raised Fei Jun's head amidst the voices of the people, and said, "Nowadays, the people are seeking profit to benefit the country. But you are standing on the palace wall, blocking major events that benefit the country and all people. This is not loyalty, but It's stupid!"

"The tyrant has been punished, are you going to fight against the people of Fei Kingdom?"

"The guns are behind you, but you still have to resist. This is asking for your own death."

"Death for righteousness may leave a name through the ages."

"But why did you die? Dying for the tyrant is for injustice. The blood of the Fei Kingdom should not have been shed so much. The tyrant is dead, a new king should be established, and a benevolent government should be implemented. It is not only beneficial to the people, but you are also the people of the people. One. The will of the people cannot be violated!"

After finishing speaking, he put Fei Jun's head down, lightly stretched his robe sleeves, and saluted the soldiers on the palace wall: "For Fei Guo, for yourself, and for not to shed more blood, please put down your weapons. !"

"If the world discusses the matter of Fei Guo, let me, Zhe Yangzi, bear the name of killing the king! For righteousness, life can still be thrown away, let alone name?"

"If there is a strong attack, both sides will be killed or injured. I have a heart of universal love. I cherish my own life and the lives of people in the world. If this is the case, if you can't rest assured, please let me enter the palace wall as a hostage!"

"You have never participated in the tyrant's government, and the people will not harm you. I am a hostage. If there is any behavior that hurts you, you can kill me!"

"As for punishing injustice, those ministers who admonish the king to carry out tyranny and fear the people are all sinners of Fei. Don't you take this opportunity to make great contributions?"

There were still a few nobles on the wall, and they cursed at the words: "The king-killing thief! What face do you have to talk about righteousness here! If people in the world have no loyalty, how are they different from animals? Thieves shoot!"

Dozens of brave men who followed Zheyangzi heard the words, and immediately stood in front of Zheyangzi, shouting: "Zheyangzi seeks benefits for the people and is loyal to all people. How can you talk about infidelity? Who would dare Shooting arrows, firing cannons, and breaking through the gate are all serious crimes!"

Seeing the death of the monarch and seeing more and more people gathering in the market, the soldiers on the wall panicked and began to think about their future.

While the nobles were still shouting, several soldiers suddenly drew their swords and killed the nobles, shouting: "Zhe Yangzi, please go up to the city wall! We are willing to make contributions for righteousness!"

Immediately someone dropped the rope, Zhe Yangzi hung his head on his waist, and climbed the city together with the warriors around him. Knowing that there are still many nobles and concubines who need to be cleaned up in the palace city, Zhe Yangzi thought: "In this way, my reputation will be greatly reduced. Since I am high, all the soldiers in the palace will obey me, and take me as the leader to seek their own benefits. Even if a new monarch is established, I will also make great contributions, and wealth and honor will be preserved! If the soldiers obey me, I will have no worries."
