Da Qin: Confucianism, Dharma and Taoism - #218 - Chapter 218
The next day, King Han got up early.
Yesterday, after deciding to surrender, Han Wangan had a rare good sleep, perhaps because he let go of his inner anxiety and sorrow.
Today was the day he decided to surrender.
Han Wangan came to the main hall of the court, stood at the door and let the cold wind howl, looking at the entire Xinzheng Palace.
South Korea has been a country for nearly two hundred years, and the country that generations of ancestors have worked hard to build is finally going to perish in their own hands.
Thinking of this, King Han felt moved and wanted to cry.
He had been mediocre all his life and just wanted to live his life in peace and security. Unexpectedly, in his later years, he would encounter these things and become a king who had subjugated his country.
“Kings!”
Beside the King of Han, the old Prime Minister accompanied him with open arms.
As the Prime Minister of South Korea, a person who is less than one person and more than ten thousand people, he must also accompany the King of Han to accept the surrender of the Qin army and offer his own Your own Xiangbang seal
“Prime Minister, five generations of your Zhang family have served as prime ministers for our country, Korea. I didn’t expect that in the end you would have to accept this humiliating surrender together with others.”
The King of Han smiled helplessly, but he also felt inexplicably relaxed.
From now on, he was no longer the King of Han. He no longer had to think about the overt and covert fights between the various parties in the court, and he no longer had to be nervous and afraid that one day he would be the king. unstable
“Serving the king and serving South Korea is exactly what the Zhang family should do.”
Zhang Xiangbang is not young. Although this matter is shameful, he still looks down upon honor in life and death.
“Has everything been arranged at Xiangbang’s house?”
King Han looked at the entire palace and said softly to the prime minister.
Although he is fatuous, he is not stupid. He has always known that Kaifeng is a good prime minister, a loyal minister, and also very honest.
But on the throne, It is impossible for Han Wangan to allow the Kaifang family to dominate, and it is not a good thing for the king if officials are too honest.
If you are too honest, you will not be able to find a reason to punish him, which will be extremely serious. Affecting the majesty of the royal power.
In addition, there are too few talents in South Korea, and the King of Han needs Ji Wuye’s ability to manage the army, so that Ji Wuye and Kaifang will restrain each other.
However, Han Wangan himself is not capable enough, and he did not expect Ji Wuye This person had such skill that in the end King Han could no longer control Ji Wuye, and was even suppressed by Ji Wuye in turn.
King Han thought highly of himself and underestimated Ji Wuye.
But when the time came In the end, Han Wangan knew that the only person who could stay with him was the prime minister Zhang Kaidi.
Hearing King Han mention his family, Kaikai’s old face also felt bitter, and he said:”……The minister’s family has made arrangements and asked his grandson Zhang Liang to stay with the ninth son.”
“As the prime minister, I have accepted the favor of the king of Korea from generation to generation, so I should sacrifice my family for the country. If Lord Chang’an wants to punish the Zhang family, our Zhang family is also ready.”
“But I also have selfish motives and don’t want Zhang Liang’s child to be implicated. He has a good relationship with the Ninth Young Master, and the Ninth Young Master has a good relationship with the Lord of Chang’an.”
“Maybe under the protection of Ninth Young Master, my grandson will have a chance to survive..”
Hearing this, Han Wangan comforted him:”……Qin is very ambitious. In order to reduce resistance from other countries, Qin should not be so ruthless.”
But even though he said this, the King of Han was also unreasonable.
Because after surrendering, their life and death were not up to them. Whether it was the King of Qin or the Lord of Chang’an, a casual word could kill their whole family.
Kaidi stopped making any sound. There are nearly a thousand people in his family, including young and old, and various servants. Five generations have been the prime minister, and the entire Zhang family has accumulated a lot of money.
If the Qin State really raided the Zhang family and exterminated it, he would be unable to resist.
The king and the ministers were silent for a moment. Han Wangan said:”……The time is coming and I have to take a bath.”
After that, he left here and took a bath under the service of the palace maids, while Zhang Kaidi stood at the door of the hall, waiting quietly.
When noon was approaching, Han Wangan was already ready.
He asked the eunuchs to carry him He took the chariot and sent him to the gate of the palace.
After arriving at the gate of the palace, Han Wangan took a deep breath. He took off his crown, held the jade box in his hand, with the seal in it, and walked all the way to the city gate under the protection of the guards. Go.
In order to show his sincerity in surrender, he must make this performance. Although it is a bit embarrassing to do so, he has become the king of subjugation, what else can he not be ashamed of? The people of Xinzheng are standing on the side of Looking from both sides, no one made a sound.
Although King Han was the king, he was very unfamiliar with the city of Xinzheng.
He looked at the eyes of the people of Xinzheng around him. Among them were sadness, numbness, fear, and cowardice. , but more of a feeling of happiness and disgust.
In order to defend Xinzheng and for the rations for the 50,000 soldiers, Ji Wuye sent troops to search from house to house and collected all the people’s rations for the supply of the army.
Although this matter was done by Ji Wuye, it naturally had the tacit approval of King Han.
As the people of Xinzheng, they are still the lower class people. In recent days, there are many dead bones on the roads of Xinzheng.
But these lower class people The people dare not speak out, and their anger has been building up, but everyone knows that this is a powder keg that may explode at any time.
But now that King Han finally chose to surrender, it is good news for them.
They have all If you are going to starve to death, what difference does it matter who rules you? No matter how bad you are under the rule of Qin, it can’t be any worse. As the people of Xinzheng watched, King Han came to the city gate, and the generals guarding the city were silent. He asked his soldiers to open the city gate.
None of the Korean troops today were wearing armor. They would have to take it off by then, and they didn’t even bring weapons. They still had weapons and armor with them when they surrendered. It was easy for the Qin army to regard them as having weapons. If someone had a different intention and was killed immediately, there would be no reason to argue.
After such a long journey, the somewhat obese King Han, who had not exercised much, was tired and panting.
The city gate opened, and he looked at the heavy black clouds in the distance. Army A, looking at the continuous camp of the Qin Army, the great pressure made King Han’s legs tremble.
But he still resisted, wiped the sweat from his head, and continued to move forward with gritted teeth. The soldiers guarding the road could no longer follow. They could only let the King of Han and Xiangbang open their eyes and walk all the way to the Qin Army camp. In the Qin Army camp, Ying Wei also dressed up. He was wearing a majestic uniform. Armored and cloaked, they were quietly waiting for King Han’s surrender.
King Han and Zhang Kaidi walked all the way to Ying Wei. Under the gaze of many Qin soldiers, his legs trembled, and finally he and Zhang Kaidi They knelt on the ground together.
King Han held the seal in his hand and raised it high above his head. He tried hard to suppress his crying and shouted:”……The guilty minister An Yuan took off his crown, presented his seal, removed his royal title, and surrendered to Qin.”
“The resistance to Qin this time is all the fault of the guilty ministers. I only hope that your Majesty can treat our Korean people well and not harm them at all!”
Whether you mean it or not, you should always say a few words to save yourself some face.
Ying Wei just listened to the cry of King Han calmly, and naturally did not believe a word of his words. (Read Baoshuang novels, Just go to Feilu Novel Network!)
If the King of Han really wanted the good of the people, would he force the people of Xinzheng to hand over food and let them starve to death? The reason why he surrendered was just the last straw to save his life. Bai Yifei was killed, so the final The 100,000-strong army also fell apart.
If Bai Yifei and the 100,000-strong army were still there, how could King Han surrender? He would definitely hold on and continue to let the people feed the army with their flesh and blood, hoping to have a last stand.
Some soldiers came forward and took over. After passing the seal of Han Wang An and Kaifang, the Yin and Yang family carefully checked that it was not poisoned, and then sent the seal to Ying Wei.
Although Ying Wei would not do anything cruel to the prisoners. Behavior, but he will not show a hypocritical smile.
From now on, the identities of Han Wangan and his Chang’an Lord will be completely different, and he is no longer qualified to look directly at himself.
In this case, why bother to pretend to him What about enthusiasm?
Ying Wei just waved his hand and said:”.……Help King Han and Zhang Xiangbang to rest.”
Immediately, he ordered again:”……Li Xin, go and lead the troops into the city and ask all the Korean troops to put down their weapons and surrender.”
“Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy! Li
Xin responded loudly:”……Here!”
At this moment, riotous shouts suddenly came from the other side of the city gate of Xinzheng, and it seemed that an army rushed out from Xinzheng.
In an instant, all the Qin troops present looked at Han Wangan, thinking that he was He is pretending to surrender, hoping to let South Korea fight for the last chance.
But if he is pretending to surrender, why should he join the Qin army? The King of Han is so great, and wants to sacrifice himself to fight for a future for South Korea?
Han Wangan was also panicking at this time Well, he never ordered to charge and kill the Qin army at this time. Wouldn’t it cost his own life?
It’s better to open his mind and say anxiously:”……It’s Ji Wuye, it must be Ji Wuye!”
“Ji WuyeThere was a gap between the emperor and the emperor. He knew that if he surrendered, he would definitely die, so he must have wanted to try his best to escape! Han
Wangan also reacted and said quickly:”……Yes, yes, it must be Ji Wuye, Jun Shang Mingjian, this was definitely not arranged by me.”
Of course Ying Wei knew that King Han didn’t have the courage, so he just said:”……Where is Meng Tian!”
Meng Tian took a step forward and Shan (Mo Zhao) knelt on his knees:”……The end will be here!”
“You go and lead the cavalry to chase Ji Wuye, don’t let him escape, and try to catch him alive.”Ying Wei ordered coldly.
“Here!”
Meng Tian responded loudly.
“Covering the sun, causing evil and chaos!”
Although Ying Wei doesn’t trust Zhan Ri, if he is asked to hunt down Ji Wuye, Zhan Ri will definitely do his best to complete the task.
“The subordinates are here!”
The three Tianzi first-class killers knelt down quickly.
“You take some of the snare killers and cooperate with Meng Guowei to capture Ji Wuye.”
Ying Wei said again.
After giving the instructions, Meng Tian and Luo Wen set off. Meng Tian was good at using cavalry, and Luo Wen was chasing him. Ji Wuye couldn’t escape.
After they left, Ying Wei said to Black and White Xuanjian again :”……Xuanjian, you take some of the trap killers with you, and I will give you two thousand more soldiers to cooperate. We must clean up the Han Palace.”
In the following days in South Korea, Ying Wei had to live in the Han Palace, so he naturally had to clean up the place.
And this kind of thing must be done by the people he trusts most and who are professional counterparts. Among these people, Only Xuan Jian and Jing Salamander are the most suitable.
But Jing Salamander can kill people, but his ability to manage people is not good, so Xuan Jian has to be sent.
Before the Han Palace and Xinzheng are cleaned up, Ying Wei will never enter Xinzheng One step, where is the Qin army camp in Xinzheng safe?
This is what a superior should do.
