Chapter 1034 Dealing with Wu State Matters
Chapter 1034 �
This person, named Kang Maocai, was appointed as Zongzheng of Wu Guo and one of the nine ministers. He was in charge of affairs related to royal relatives and relatives of foreign relatives and nobles.
Now that the Wu Kingdom has been destroyed, the remaining Wu ministers can be said to have their swords on their necks, but Kang Mao jumped out of the dynasty, full of righteous indignation, and scolded everyone for being spineless.
All the ministers of the Wu Kingdom did not respond, and they all lowered their heads slightly and remained silent without saying anything.
Seeing this, Kang Maocai became more and more angry: "Now the family and country have been destroyed, and they are destroyed by the hands of tyrants! As ministers, you have not kept your loyal ambitions. You are pitiful and have become a dog with broken spines and no bones!"
Xiao Yuan stared at him coldly.
He continued to curse.
The more I scolded, the more indignant he became. He was worthy of being a literati. He didn't even have a dirty word, but he cursed Wu Chen in the morning and his head was even lower.
When he finished scolding, Xiao Yuan waved his hand directly.
The Qin soldiers understood and immediately stepped forward, one left and one right, and were about to drag Kang Maocai down.
"Let go!" The latter was furious, shook his arms violently, and looked at Xiao Yuan above him with a look of being ready to die. He said, "I will leave by myself! Isn't it a dead person? A scholar should have a solar term!"
As he spoke, he also snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked out of the hall with his head raised.
This man is not afraid of death or compromise. He is still so strong when the country is destroyed, which shows his loyalty.
Xiao Yuan was actually a little bit jealous of talent. Compared with other Wu Chen, he valued Kang Maocai more and had the idea of saving his life, but it was not possible, because Kang Maocai's identity was too special and involved the royal family of the Wu Kingdom.
Kang Mao had just left, followed two Qin soldiers around and left the hall, and he would definitely not be able to survive.
The country was defeated and loyal ministers died. Xiao Yuan sighed in his heart, then looked around for a while, and said, "You are all pillars. Since you are willing to submit to the court, I am very happy. I hope everyone can work together in the future."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Minister of the Wu State immediately stood up and flattered and said, "The king is so talented and wise, he is the most wise ruler today. It is a lifelong honor for me to serve the king. And that Kang Maocai is brave and so rebellious, he is really worthy of death!"
As soon as these words were finished, the other ministers of the Wu Kingdom began to agree, and there was a voice of pleasing.
What kind of literary character can be said to be more flattering than the other at the critical moment. Although Wu Xiang said nothing, he also acknowledged his surrender.
The scene was like this, Xiao Yuan followed the river and said: "I am still very clear about Lord Hu's talent. I have also reviewed your sect and bookmarks. This position as the Minister of the Secretariat is the one who belongs to you. I hope you can live up to your trust and help the political affairs in Jiangnan in the future and solve your problems."
Lord Hu was Wu Shizhong. When he heard this, he was happy and knelt down in a hurry, his butt was raised high, his hands were placed on his head, and he said tremblingly: "Wang Enhao, I am so arrogant, I swear to be loyal to the king!"
"Okay, my dear, please." Xiao Yuan smiled and raised the bamboo slips in his hand: "And Lord Zhang, Lord Wang, I have seen your loyalty. In the future, the government affairs of Jiangnan cannot be separated from you. The current official position remains unchanged, and it should be done by the country."
"Thank you--" Several Wu ministers knelt down together, and these were also people who had previously passed letters with Xiao Yuan.
In this court discussion, Xiao Yuanzhu appeased the officials of Wu. At the same time, he also wanted to show the Chu side, and intended to tell the ministers of Chu that surrendering as soon as possible is the best choice.
Wu Chen cannot kill now. First, these people are all great gentry and involve a lot of political forces. Second, if they kill them all, they can be suppressed by purely by force, but it will make the Chu State panic.
After dealing with some official positions, Xiao Yuan praised the correspondents on the surface. In fact, these people have long been on the list of cleaning up in the future.
After the court came down, all the Wu ministers dispersed, and Xiao Yuan wandered casually in the palace of the King of Wu. The counselor Wang Su followed behind him and couldn't help but say, "The king has handled many official positions of Wu ministers today, but he did not talk about Wu Xiang and others. The weak ministers think that although Wu Xiang did not have the talent to promote the country, he is highly respected after all."
"It is because of this that he cannot be used." Xiao Yuan said as he walked: "The Prime Minister of Wu and the Censor General of the Censor General of the Old King of Wu are both old ministers of the old King of Wu. Although they have no intention of resisting today, they are definitely keeping the fantasies of Wu. They are just forced to bow their heads due to the situation."
"If there is chaos in Wu in the future, it will come from them, so these people cannot be kept."
Upon hearing this, Wang Su nodded first to express his agreement, and then said, "What the king means..."
"Have it aside first." Xiao Yuan said concisely. As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Chu walked over quickly, clasped his fists and bent down and said, "King, the Queen, pass on the letter."
As he spoke, he also took out a letter and handed it with both hands.
Xiao Yuan took it, waved his hand and signaled him to retreat, then opened the letter and read it.
The letter was written by Lu Yunyan, with beautiful handwriting. First, he talked about some domestic situations so that Xiao Yuan didn’t have to worry. Then he was full of longing words, full of longing.
This is more about letters from home.
After reading it, Xiao Yuan felt warm in his heart. He put away the letter, but smiled and said, "Sometimes, this woman is very troublesome, for example, the queen, she often quarrels with me, and she likes to argue with reason."
Wang Su laughed and said, "Why did the king tell me about family affairs? I was extremely frightened. But then again, the king and the queen are the most compatible couple in the world. How could this couple not quarrel? It also shows the love between the king and the queen."
When Xiao Yuan heard this, he smiled heartily and said, "Your dear is still good at speaking."
Yes, he and Lu Yunyan have quarreled a lot, but this does not mean that the two have a bad relationship. On the contrary, they are very loving.
Next, the monarch and minister talked about some serious matters. Wang Su also mentioned the issue of Chu and said: "The turmoil in various parts of Chu has not stopped yet. The governments in many places have been smashed and the political system has collapsed, resulting in the gathering of many bandits and a large number of refugees fled to the Xiangyang area in Jiangbei."
After hearing this, Xiao Yuan shook his head slightly and said, "This situation has both advantages and disadvantages for us. The advantage lies in the internal and external troubles of Chu State, which makes the King of Chu no longer have the power to go back. The disadvantage lies in the situation in Chu caused by the turmoil, which makes the people live in poverty, produce withering, and the collapse of rural and commercial enterprises. Even if the Chu State is destroyed, these things will take time to recover."
"What the king said is very true, and this turmoil still requires us to send troops to suppress it." Wang Su said.
Xiao Yuan nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Tell Su Yi that he would lead his troops eastward first. At the same time, he would order Yan Qi to wipe out the Southern Barbarian army as soon as possible. He would never let the Barbarian King leave Nanping Pass!"
