Chapter 156: Overlord?General's bitter tears
Bai Qi's ending is sad.

In September of the 49th year of King Qin Zhaoxiang, the State of Qin sent troops to attack Zhao HD from the tombs of the five doctors.

At this time, Bai Qi was ill and couldn't walk around.

In the first month of the second year, Wang Ling's attack on HD did not go well, and the King of Qin sent additional troops to support him. As a result, Wang Ling lost five schools of the Qin army.

Bai Qi recovered from his illness, and the King of Qin wanted to use Bai Qi as a general to attack Qin. Bai Qi said to King Qin Zhaoxiang: "It is not easy to attack Qin, and if the princes rescue, they will arrive in one day. The princes have complained about Qin for a long time. Although Qin is broken Zhao’s army was in Changping, but more than half of the casualties, the country is empty, our army is far away from the rivers and mountains to fight for other countries’ capitals, if Zhao Guo fights from the inside, and the princes support it from outside, the Qin army will definitely be defeated, so you can’t send troops to attack Zhao.”

When King Zhaoxiang of Qin heard that Bai Qi would not send troops, he reassigned Wang Lu to replace Wang Ling as a general, and besieged Hong in August and September, but he could not attack for a long time.

The state of Chu sent Chunshen Lord and Wei Gongzi Xinling Lord with hundreds of thousands of troops to attack the Qin army, and the Qin army suffered heavy casualties.

When Bai Qi heard this, he said: "At the beginning, the King of Qin didn't listen to my plan, what happened?"

King Qin Zhaoxiang was furious after hearing this, and forced Bai Qi to send troops. Bai Qi claimed to be seriously ill, but after Fan Ju's request, he still claimed that he could not afford it. Due to his inconvenience, Bai Qi did not leave immediately.

Three months later, news of the defeat of the Qin army continued to come from Hong Kong, and King Zhao became even more angry with Bai Qi, ordering him to leave immediately and not stay.

Bai Qi had no choice but to go on the road with illness, and when he arrived at Duyou, King Qin Zhaoxiang discussed with Fan Ju, thinking that Bai Qi would not accept orders for a long time.

Unconvinced and dissatisfied with his intentions, he had more words, and sent an envoy to give him a sword and order him to kill himself.

When Bai Qi picked up the sword and killed himself, he looked up to the sky and sighed: "What crime did I do to Qin to end up like this?"

After a while, Bai Qi said again: "I should have died. In the Battle of Changping, the Zhao army surrendered tens of thousands of soldiers. I buried them all alive by deception. So many innocent people were stained in my hands." blood, this is enough for capital punishment!"

After talking about suicide.It was November of the 50th year of King Qin Zhaoxiang.

…………

boom!
Once this information is revealed.

It was like five thunders crashing on the top, it was so loud that my brain was buzzing, and I was speechless for a long time.

Bai Qi was terrified, his face was ugly, and his body trembled involuntarily.

Just now he looked like a high-spirited and high-spirited fighter, but at this moment, he looked like a defeated general.

Dejected, the hero is late.

"Impossible! How could it be! I don't believe it!"

Bai Qi couldn't believe it no matter what, King Qin Zhao, who had always trusted him so much, would actually kill him.

You must know that before the Battle of Changping, Bai Qi had already been conferred the title of Lord Wu'an, and he had made great achievements in the Battle of Changping.

Wu Anjun was already the highest title for military generals at that time.

It can be said that King Qin Zhao has great trust in Bai Qi.

"Your Majesty trusts me so much, why doesn't he listen to my opinion? Attacking HD is not an easy task."

"Besides, I didn't delay on purpose. Isn't this caused by old age, infirmity and illness?"

"Is the king really so ruthless?"

Bai Qi couldn't figure it out.

Even if he thinks that his meritorious deeds are superior to the Lord, how can an old and frail self have the right to threaten King Qin Zhaoxiang?

…………

At this moment, the corners of the mouths of all the generals twitched. This was a scar they were unwilling to reveal.

Since the establishment of Qin, the first feudal dynasty in the history of China, it has marked the emergence of the prototype of the centralized system, which means that the emperor has had the supreme power since then.

In the courts of all dynasties, there has been a saying "the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die". Officials at all levels often use this sentence to express their loyalty. At the same time, this sentence also exemplifies the power of the monarch from the side. supremacy.

Those who maintain the monarchy need to rely on the army, that is to say, if the emperor has too little military power, his power will be threatened.

Usually those generals who have made great contributions to the empire and hold heavy troops have become threats to the monarchy in the eyes of the emperor.

Under normal circumstances, the emperor would find an excuse to remove their military power, or even put them to death, so as to protect their rights from threats.

In the eyes of generals of all dynasties, Bai Qi's death is very routine.

Too normal.

Just because Bai Qi is too dazzling.

He has won every battle, and his achievements are against the sky.

Would the emperor allow such a general to exist?
Although Bai Qi was old, King Qin Zhaoxiang was no longer young at that time.

So he was afraid that his descendants would not be able to suppress Bai Qi.

Simply use some excuses to kill Bai Qi.

Does Bai Qi dare to resist?

dare not.

The result of the resistance is not just death in vain.

Disobeying the emperor's order is a serious crime against the nine clans.

Is Bai Qi's death wronged?

If you say you are wronged, you are wronged, and if you say you are not wronged, you are not wronged.

When it comes to being wronged, Yue Fei and others have something to say.

Yue Fei ranked first among the "Four Generals of Zhongxing" in the Southern Song Dynasty. He had outstanding military exploits throughout his life, and the Jin soldiers he killed were retreating steadily, and even made the Jin soldiers sigh "It is easy to shake the mountains, but it is difficult to shake the Yue family's army".

It can be seen from this that Yue Fei has contributed a lot to the Great Song Dynasty.

What about Yue Fei's result?

Is it beautiful?

actually not.

Logically speaking, Yue Fei has made great contributions to Song Dynasty and should be rewarded.

However, Yue Fei has always advocated recovering the mountains and rivers and welcoming back the two sages. This made Song Gaozong very disgusted. Yue Fei was sentenced to death for the crime.

A courtier is a courtier after all.

When a courtier has the qualifications and energy to touch the emperor's cake, then he is not far from death.

If Bai Qi died unjustly, then Yue Fei, Nian Gengyao, Gao Changgong and others would have something to say.

…………

"What? Just say it's nothing, what are you doing with this general?"

"This general is highly trusted by the late emperor and the sage, how could he be ordered to die like Bai Qi, this general absolutely does not believe it."

"It must be nonsense, it must be like this!"

Qing.

In the general's camp, Nian Gengyao was taken aback.

Originally, he was drinking fine wine, eating mutton, and watching an inventory video. He was having a great time.

But when he was mentioned in the video, he couldn't calm down immediately.

What do you mean?
Is this the same fate as my general and Bai Qi?
Was bestowed to death by the Holy Spirit?
How is this possible.

Nian Gengyao didn't believe it even if he was beaten to death.

"My year, Geng Yao, made great contributions during the Kangxi period. He quelled the Junggar rebellion for Emperor Kangxi and ensured logistics supplies. Therefore, Emperor Kangxi appreciated my talent very much and gave me a bow and arrow."

"Since then, I have been appreciated by Emperor Kangxi, and I have been promoted to the top officials. In the 60th year of Kangxi, there was a rebellion in Qinghai. The strategy of attacking Fan quickly quelled the rebellion."

"Even after Emperor Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, he still relied heavily on me, Nian Gengyao."

"For example, in October of the first year of Yongzheng, war broke out in the Qinghai area again. Yongzheng ordered me to take over the post of General Fuyuan to direct the counter-rebellion work. At the beginning of the second year of Yongzheng, the rebellion was successfully quelled, and my Nian Gengyao became famous in the western border , is well-known in the court and the public."

"The emperor once again promoted me to Nian Gengyao, and even made my son and father a prince."

"I, Nian Gengyao, have become the Emperor's confidant for doing this."

"Even on important matters in the court, the emperor will come to Nian Gengyao to exchange opinions with me. Even the appointment of all officials in my jurisdiction is decided by me, Nian Gengyao."

"The emperor trusts me so much, how could he kill me?"

"Are you kidding me, my Nian Gengyao will make great achievements?"

"Gong... Gong is so high that the master..."

Thinking of this, Nian Gengyao couldn't calm down anymore.

Yup!

The master of power.

Don't forget how Yue Fei died.

Isn't that the master of great achievements, who was bestowed to death by Song Gaozong?

"Could it be that I, Nian Gengyao, will really be as successful as the video says, and then be bestowed to death by the emperor like Bai Qi?"

"If it's true... what should I do?"

At this time, Nian Gengyao was extremely flustered.

What if the holy metaphor of the emperor bestowing his own death really came down?
Escape?

But the whole world belongs to the Qing Dynasty, so where to escape?
rebel?

Haha, even more unrealistic.

Although he holds a heavy army, the entire western region is completely under his control.

However, this is nothing more than Emperor Yongzheng.

He only needs a lot of false charges to push himself into the abyss of eternal doom.

At this moment, the great general Nian Gengyao, who was usually glorious, was also afraid.

He was afraid that he would be the next one to get up in vain, and it seemed that he would have to keep a low profile in the future.

…………

The national hero Qi Jiguang also expressed his feelings:

"Everyone is envious of the military officer's supremacy, commanding thousands of soldiers and horses, but who can understand the military officer's sadness."

"If you don't make any achievements, you will be regarded as an idiot by the Holy One. If you have too many achievements, you will be suspicious of the Holy One."

"Hehe, what a powerless explanation."

"Hey!"

"Aren't I a living example?"

"A volume of imperial decree from the Holy Majesty can determine the promotion and promotion of military officers like me. Even if I wait to die, it is just a sentence."

…………

At this moment, the group of emperors exploded.

The First Emperor Yingzheng: "This immortal, let the world think of me by showing this kind of video."

"In their eyes, the emperor has become a person who is desperate for his own interests."

"It's also due to the fact that he is an immortal. If he is a mortal, no matter who he is, if he dares to chew my tongue, I will definitely chop him with a sword."

Li Shimin: "Brother Zheng is right. Immortals say everything. They are really unfriendly to us. If it weren't for immortals, I would have cut him with a sword."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "Add our old Zhu."

Liu Bang: "It's okay for other people to say this. How about you, Zhu Yuanzhang?"

"According to your inventory video and what I know, you, Zhu Yuanzhang, killed a lot of heroes."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "Liu Bang, let your mother's stinky fart go! It's as good as you make yourself,"

"Did you kill Han Xin, Peng Yue, and Ying Bu?"

Liu Bang: "Then I don't kill as many as you."

Zhu Di: "Father, let's stop talking about it."

…………

Parallel time and space Daming.

Emperor Yongle Zhu Di looked helpless.

I thought that if my father dared to discuss this matter, didn't he make it clear that he should not slap the emperor in the face?

As the son of Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di knows it very well.

Zhu Yuanzhang was able to ascend to the throne of the emperor from a poor cowherd boy and a little monk.

Talent and strength are indispensable, but to a large extent, it is also due to the many founding heroes who have lived and died with him and shared weal and woe.

Unexpectedly, after Zhu Yuanzhang came to the throne, in order to prevent them from making great achievements, he made all kinds of excuses and swung the butcher knife at the senior officials who held military and political power.

Zhu Yuanzhang first executed Hu Weiyong and related officials on the charge of arrogating power and perverting the law. At the same time, he announced the abolition of Zhongshu Province and no longer appointed a prime minister.

He also used this to revive the party prison, thinking that all the heroes and generals who were in danger of Zhu's rule were accused of being criminals of the Hu party, exterminated their families and ransacked their homes, and killed more than 3 people in ten years.

1 Later, Zhu Yuanzhang executed the general Lan Yu for the crime of treason, and then killed more than 1 people on this charge.Some heroes who founded the country, such as Fu Youde, a general who risked his life and made great achievements in battle; In the end, they were all killed or given to death on trumped-up charges.

The right prime minister, Xu Da, is a fellow villager who followed Zhu Yuanzhang in the army. He has been born and died for decades, and has made outstanding achievements. He has always been the commander of the Ming army and is recognized as the head of the hero. his fault.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang finally gave Xu Da cooked goose when he was suffering from gangrene and was forbidden to eat goose meat. In the end, Xu Da ate with runny nose and died soon.

Let’s take a look at Han Gaozu Liu Bang again. He killed only a few generals such as Han Xin, Peng Yue, and Ying Bu, while Zhu Yuanzhang passed the "Hu Lan Prison" and almost killed all the founding heroes.

It is undeniable that Zhu Yuanzhang's achievements have been made, but in killing heroes, it is indeed a bit too much.

Although from his point of view he was right.

"Hey, thinking about these things, I feel very helpless."

"My royal father, when it comes to killing heroes, he is not ambiguous at all."

"I still remember that during those days, everyone in the Ming court was in danger, and all civil and military officials were terrified of dying, so that every morning when the Beijing officials went to court, they didn't know whether they would come back alive. Say goodbye to the future."

"Even the eldest brother, seeing the tragic end of the heroes, felt sorry for the father. He once advised the father to kill less people."

"But the will of the emperor, who can defy it."

"Father threw a thorn stick on the ground and asked elder brother to pick it up. I understand all these principles."

"I'm very envious of elder brother, father can love him so much."

"In order to clear up the obstacles of elder brother's ascension, father did not hesitate to kill so many heroes, and willingly endured the abuse in the hearts of all the ministers in the court. How difficult it is."

"I still remember the sentence my father said: The thorny stick has thorns in your hands. Isn't it better for me to remove the thorns for you and give them to you?"

"The emperor vividly compares the heroes to the thorns on the thorn stick, so they must be removed, so as to protect the Ming Dynasty forever, and the Zhu family's descendants will enjoy the supreme power of the king forever."

"So you can't blame your father for this kind of thing."

"After all, father, what he cares about in his heart is the stability of Daming, and the world of Daming."

Zhu Di shook his head and sighed.

He felt sorry for what happened to Bai Qi from the bottom of his heart.

But there is no way, the rules are like this.

For the stability of the country, the factors of instability must be cleaned up.

"Hey! Everyone in the world says that the emperor is good, but who knows that being an emperor is not so easy!"
