Gong Fei Ji

Chapter 380

Qi Hong also persuaded in a low voice beside him: "His Royal Highness, no matter whether what Xue Ding said is true or not, a small indifference will cause a big conspiracy. You think we are rebelling now. If you are, how can you spare the person who covets your throne? Now Your Majesty simply wanted to trick you and then kill you."

King Wu clenched his fists tightly, he could only endure the hatred in his heart.

But Xue Ding continued: "His Royal Highness, according to the order of the Holy Majesty, I will give you one night to consider. If His Highness does not make a decision tomorrow morning, I can only kill His Highness for treason."

After he finished speaking, he ordered the people around him: "Pass down the order, let the army rest in place first, and wait until tomorrow to obey the order."

A general next to him complained: "Let me tell you, anyway, the rebels have been trapped by us, so we should take this opportunity to rush up and wipe them all out. Your Majesty is too merciful to tell them what a gentleman is."

Xue Ding glared at him and warned him not to speak any further.

Everyone knows that the Holy Majesty wants to deal with the three kings and also wants to have a good reputation.The first emperor only had two sons, the Holy One and the King of Wu, and the status of the direct son of the King of Wu was even higher than that of the Holy One. If the Holy One killed the King of Wu, no matter what the reason, he might have a reputation of murdering his brother.Therefore, now the ceremony comes first and then the soldiers. Now that the king of Wu is rebelling, the sage is willing to let go of the past. If the king of Wu refuses again, and the sage kills the king of Wu again, no one in the world can say anything about the sage's wrongdoing.

Tang History records that in February of the fifth year of Zhenyuan, the three kings of Shu, Jin, and Wu jointly rebelled. Besieged near Wangmu Mountain.

King Wu was Wenzong's only younger brother. Wenzong was benevolent and thoughtful of his brotherhood. He ordered people to persuade King Wu to surrender, and promised that if King Wu surrendered, he would not be charged with treason.

The king of Wu refused to surrender at first, but later saw that the rebel army lost to the imperial army. Under the persuasion of his cronies, he repented and wanted to lead part of the rebel army to attack and kill the general of the king of Shu to make amends. He surrendered to the court, but was killed by the king of Shu instead.

The rebels were fighting among themselves, and the imperial army took this opportunity to encircle and suppress the rebels and won a big victory.The kings of Jin and Zhong were killed, the king of Shu was defeated and committed suicide, and Qi Hong and Qi Bian died in the chaos.

In this way, the chaos of the three kings was put down by the court without causing much splash.

The news of the great victory against the rebels came back to the palace, Qi Rong committed suicide in prison, and Nan Yu was giving birth.

Then the emperor held his son and daughter in one hand, looked up to the sky and laughed loudly.
