Slave to Queen: One Night Bride

Chapter 300 Who Is He?

Zong Han was suddenly arrested in this coup because one of his subordinates, the Khitan general, accused another general, Gao Qingyi, of embezzling and accepting bribes of [-] guan.

Corruption and bribery are very common among the Jurchen nobles, and there were not many such punishments before. This time, the co-assassin adopted Yu Wenxuzhong's strategy and charged him with a "public crime" similar to that of Song Guolai, and sent him to prison Discuss.

Gao Qingyi is Zong Han's right-hand man. At this time Zong Han has lost power. Whether it is strategy or psychological dependence, he hopes to save Gao Qingyi's life, so he takes out his "exemption token" to redeem Gao Qingyi's life.

It turns out that after the old wolf lord ascended the throne, in order to win over Zonghan's faction, he ordered to reward him with a "token of avoiding death", which is similar in effect to the iron coupon pill of Song Dynasty.But the difference is that at the same time, there is also a certain right to transfer troops. In a sense, it is more effective than the iron coupon pill.

After Zong Han handed over the iron certificate, he was drunk at home every day, and he didn't even have the heart to play with the women he usually liked.At this time, he was already in his fifties. He had lost political power in the past two years and indulged in excessive sexual desires. He had already hollowed out his body and was extremely fat.

On this day, an outsider came in, and he thought it was news of Gao Qingyi, so he got up drunk, but was stabbed on the neck by the visitor.The person behind laughed loudly: "Zong Han, you also have today."

It was Pu Luhu who came.

Zong Han knew something was wrong, so he said: "Pu Luhu, you let me go quickly, I will lead the army to kill Heci, and embrace you as the wolf lord."

Pu Luhu sneered: "You just said it now, isn't it too late? Today I will take you to meet Gao Qingyi."

........................

Jin Wushu rushed to Shangjing, and immediately went to the palace to meet the wolf master.

Although he has not recovered from his serious injuries, he still supports himself and does not want anyone to carry him. After entering the Qianyuan Hall, he realizes that he is no longer what he used to be.The Qianyuan Hall has completely imitated the appearance of the court of the Song Dynasty, with monarchs and ministers.

The spring in the Kingdom of Jin is still very cold, and the wind and snow are still raging.But as soon as Jin Wushu entered, he immediately felt as warm as spring. The inside was like a charcoal stove in the Song Dynasty, and it was burning very vigorously.

Officials wear python robes according to Yu Wenxuzhong's design, and according to the Jin Kingdom's genus of water, all high-ranking officials wear narrow-sleeved soap robes with patterns of bears, deer, and mountains and forests, which are called "autumn water clothes".On the waist is a spit-falcon jade belt, a gold medal is worn on the left, a pin knife is worn on the right, and black leather boots are worn on the feet.Officials also imitated the Song Dynasty, wearing seven-beam crowns and five-beam crowns according to their ranks.The ministers were divided into two columns, headed by Heci's stepfather and Jin Wushu's brother Zonggan on the left, and Puluhu on the right.

When everyone saw the fourth prince coming in in such a mess, they were all taken aback.Jin Wushu didn't expect that such earth-shaking changes would take place in the court after he had been away for a short period of time.

Although he was covered with scars, he still held Fang Tian's painted halberd tightly in his hand, with a mighty look on his face. Everyone knew that Fang commanded the puppet Qi army to beat General Liu Guang of the Song Dynasty to throw away his helmet and armor, and retreated several states and counties. .Seeing his brother come back, Zong Gan was naturally overjoyed, went to help him with his own hands, and asked affectionately, "Wu Shu has worked hard."

Jin Wushu hadn't answered yet, only to see the wolf master Heci, wearing a protruding head, wearing a Chu Huang Luo robe, and surrounded by guards, stepped into Yutao.The ministers kneel down to pay homage to Jurchen, but say "Long live, long live, long live" in Chinese.Because there is no similar vocabulary in their Jurchen script, they use Chinese transliteration.

Jin Wushu also knelt down among the officials, but seeing this young emperor, if not for the two thick braids on his head, he would have been exactly the same as the Han emperor.

He felt very uncomfortable, but he heard Heci say: "Wushu is hard work, I will be named the king of Yue, and I will give you a full set of scepters."

Jin Wushu had already received the news that he had been crowned King of the Yue Kingdom. At this time, Fang was formally accepting an order to thank him.After he thanked him, he couldn't be overjoyed, and under his stepfather's instructions, Heci changed his tone of relative this time, and said, "Fourth uncle worked hard and was injured for the country, so I give you a seat."

A palace official immediately moved a chair, Jin Wushu sat down, and everyone showed envious eyes.

Jin Wushu reported some situations in the Song Dynasty, and specifically mentioned the current situation of Liu Yu's puppet Qi, and then the officials withdrew from the court, Zong Qian left behind his brothers, and gave a banquet to discuss business.

The two drank three cups before Zong Qian said: "Zong Han has always harbored evil intentions and dissatisfied with Lord Little Wolf. Now, Master Yuwen and I have arranged to arrest him. What do you think should be done?"

Jin Wushu pondered for a moment.He and Zong Han are mortal enemies. He thought Zong Qian had already killed Zong Han, but he didn't expect to keep him.At this time, he was not in a hurry to kill Zong Han, so he said: "Zong Han has made great achievements in destroying Liao and Song Dynasties, and he has no obvious betrayal. How can he be killed openly?"

Zong Gan lowered his voice: "To be honest, Pu Luhu has become more and more domineering recently, and he is very disrespectful to Lord Little Wolf..."

He only said this sentence, but Jin Wushu was startled, and immediately understood that Zong Gan's killing Zong Han was just an excuse, and the real purpose was to deal with Pu Luhu.First cut off Zong Han's threat, and then completely wipe out Pu Luhu.

He naturally understood that since Zonggan's secret order rushed back quickly, he had to agree with him.However, he was still seeking truth from facts, and only said: "Now the Song Kingdom has not yet settled down, but the generals who can fight in the Jin Kingdom have been assassinated one after another. Zong Han and Pu Luhu are both capable generals. ?”

Seeing that he was so "ignorant of the general situation", Zong Qian was a little displeased, and said, "Fourth brother, if the little wolf masters the country, how can we talk about destroying the Liao and Song Dynasties?"

Even when his father, the emperor, and the old wolf lord were alive, he maintained a strong sense of Jurchen slavery and democracy. Jin Wushu was deeply affected by this. Seeing that Heci is now completely dominated by the ninety-five kings of the Song Dynasty, he was even more angry in his heart. Zong Gan said: "Since this is the case, the third brother will figure it out."

Zong Gan stared at him: "Do you support it?"

He said slowly: "My family will follow the third brother to secure the position of the little wolf master."

Zong Gan was very satisfied with his words, and knew that after cutting off those generals, he would basically rely on this fourth younger brother, who was familiar with the situation in the Southern Dynasty, to send troops in the future, so he was even more affectionate to him, and the gift he gave was even more than that of a joint thorn to reward the country of Yue King's degree.

It was freezing cold, and the north wind was raging. Even in the house, you could still hear the whistling of the north wind.

Jin Wushu rested for the whole night, opened the door, and looked at the ice and snow in the northern country, he couldn't help feeling sad, if it was the southern dynasty, it would be when the grass grows and the warbler flies away.

He wore a thick fur and came to the prison in the Kingdom of Jin.

The prison in the Kingdom of Jin is very special. It just digs a few big pits four to five feet deep, and a few veterans are sent to guard them.To let the prisoner go down is to put on wooden shackles and shackles, let him sit in a wicker basket tied with hemp rope, and hang him down the deep pit. When he steps out of the basket, the jailer lifts the rope to close the basket.

This kind of open-air deep pit often freezes prisoners to death in the cold winter. Although the bottom has been covered with thick hay and straw, it is so cold that people shiver.

As soon as Jin Wushu arrived at the prison, he heard a burst of fierce insults: "Where is the assassination? Tell him to come out. I have an iron coupon to avoid death. How dare he take me?"

It was Pu Luhu who escorted him, and he sneered: "Where is your iron bond?"

Zong Han hissed and said, "The iron coupon was given to me by your father, don't you know?"

Proudhu laughed triumphantly: "It doesn't count if I didn't see it."

Gao Qingyi had already been executed, and Zong Han realized at this moment that he had just given an iron coupon to avoid death for nothing.He couldn't take out the iron coupon, and was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and suddenly said: "There is another copy in the palace, you can go ask Heshi..."

Prouhu pushed him: "If you have it, take it out, if you don't have it, don't bother."

In desperation, Zong Han suddenly saw Jin Wushu standing aside, looking at him from a distance, as if he had seen a savior, and he didn't care that this was his enemy, so he shouted: "Wushu, come here, you too Tie Quan, tell me..."

Jin Wushu walked over a few steps, watching Zonghan being guarded by four soldiers.His body was very obese due to excessive drinking and sex, he was already out of breath after this struggle, where is there any trace of the former brave general?

Seeing that he didn't speak, Zong Han shouted anxiously: "Fourth prince, you need to know that you also have an iron ticket to avoid death..."

In the Jin Dynasty, there were no jade seals. At first, gold and jade treasures seized from the Liao Kingdom were used. The iron coupons were in the shape of rolled tiles, and the gold letters on them were written in Jurchen script.The iron coupons of the Jurchens are not as particular about the Chinese language, they are only written according to each person's name.For example, what was given to Zong Han was: "Give Zong Han, no one will be asked except for rebellion and flogging." The iron coupon is in two pieces, one is for the hero, and the other is kept in the palace for inspection.

Jin Wushu naturally knew the details, but at this moment, he knew that Zonghan's iron coupon had been lost, so he must die. Although the rabbit died and the fox was sad, he just shook his head and didn't make a sound.

Pu Luhu laughed loudly: "Zonghan, what's the matter? Wushu doesn't remember if you have it, you should die."

Zong Han yelled: "I only regret that I didn't get up early and give up the country to He Ci, but was murdered by this little bastard. Wushu, you need to remember that He Ci can get rid of me today, and you may not be able to do anything." Good end. You still pray that your iron coupon will not be cheated by the joint assassin. Now, the brothers have been killed, and it will be your turn next..."

Prouhu didn't let him continue to swear, and a ball of torn cotton was stuffed into Zong Han's mouth. He could only struggle desperately, making a terrible whining sound, and twitching his hands and feet.

Prouhu immediately ordered Zong Han to be packed into a large wooden box, and the soldiers carried him into the prison where Gao Qingyi was once held.A thick hemp rope was tied around Zong Han's neck, and he was thrown into a deep pit. The poor Jin Kingdom's number one hero was killed by Yi just like that.

Jin Wushu witnessed the whole process, standing on the snow, but felt a chill down his back.

Pu Luhu ran over and extended his hand to him enthusiastically: "Wu Shu, have fun today, haha, get rid of Zong Han, and I will treat you to a banquet."

Jin Wushu laughed loudly: "Okay, okay."

As he followed Puluhu forward, his vest was cold, Zonghan today, tomorrow is Puluhu, what about the day after tomorrow?Will it be yourself or someone else in the future?

In particular, his iron coupons have been lost.

It was taken by Hua Rong.

Originally, he was almost considered, and he would use the iron coupon one day. Today, seeing Zong Han's death with his own eyes, he understands the importance of the iron coupon.

But, how can Hua Rong return her?

The snow was so thick that his black gold boots sank a large part, he pulled out the boots vigorously, and couldn't help but gulped down the strong burning knife he was carrying.The thumb and index finger of his right hand are useless, so he can only hold the wine bag with his left hand.I smiled wryly in my heart, no matter how ruthless that woman was, no matter how life and death faced her, she would only lose two of her fingers.And what about joint stabbing?I'm afraid that the next step will be his own head.

He touched his neck with his severed hand, which was covered with snow and cold.He brushed off the snow. In fact, the most powerful enemy is often not the enemy country, but politicians.Throughout the ages, how many heroes did not die on the battlefield, but died in the hands of monarchs and ministers.
