Wanli 1592

Chapter 766 This is the Emperor Qing's side!
Do you want to be a human being or a pawn?

A very simple question, any normal person will answer a very normal answer.

It is also an extremely cruel and ugly question, the principle of all political games.

Do you want to be a chess player and become the master of the game so as to control the chess pieces in the world for your own use, or become a chess piece and be discarded at any time?

Shen Yiguan's words are full of temptation for officials in power.

"The emperor wants his country to be stable, and his children and grandchildren will always be the masters of the world, but our ministers also have family members and descendants. Who doesn't want our children and grandchildren to continue their incense? What happens to the family members after the death of those criminals, Shibutang , don't you know?
If I just wait to be arrested and watch Xiao Ruxun cooperate with the emperor to take back the military power, as long as they take back the military power in the Beijing camp, with Xiao Ruxun's prestige in the Ming army, when that day really comes, you, me, the nobles of the Manchu Dynasty, How many people can survive?

As far as taxation is concerned, don't you know about the Ming Dynasty treasury?Every year, how much money that should have been collected could not be collected, and how much money that should have been used in the field was taken away by officials. After this investigation, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, the officials of the entire Ming Dynasty should be punished by the three clans!

Including you, Shibutang, you, your wife, your children, your parents, your tribe, your old friends, how many people can survive?The hometown was confiscated, the ancestral ancestral hall was destroyed, the ancestral grave was smashed, the incense was cut off, and the stigma would last forever. Do you really want to see it?
If Your Majesty regains power, you will definitely blame us. You don’t need to be lucky. There is a shortage of everything in this world. There is no shortage of money, food, and land, except for people who want to be officials. The emperor can kill us at any time. There are a large number of people who can make up chess pieces, but wait, if you die, you will die.

Everyone outside knows this matter, and each of them has made a choice, so the choice is very simple. They just want to live, and they don't want to watch themselves go to a dead end. Right now, they can only fight hard. There is a way out.

Is this a rebellion?Is this an act of treason?No problem, so what?As long as I wait for the victory and set things right, I can put all the responsibility on Xiao Ruxun's head. Anyway, if he is dead, the people who know about it will also die. It will not be more than a hundred years, and everyone who knows about it will die. .

How did future generations know about this?history books!Who wrote the history books?You, me, princes of the Manchu Dynasty!Qi Taishi has only one family, and Dong Hu has only one family. When a person dies, he dies, and the book is still there. You and I will only be heroes who set things right, not rebellion. The rebellion is Xiao Ruxun, not you and me.

Shibutang, I might as well tell you that in the past few days, all the officials above the third rank in the Manchu Dynasty, besides the Metropolitan Procuratorate, you and Song Yingchang, have all decided to follow the old man's orders, to kill rebels, to eradicate traitors for the country, and to be on the side of the Qing Dynasty. The sky is bright! "

Shi Xing was startled, turned his head to look at Shen Yiguan, his face was like a ghost.

"Light and bright? Shen Yiguan, you colluded with officials? You... what else do you want to do?!"

Shen Yiguan shook his head and spoke slowly.

"Shibutang, this is the end of the matter, so don't talk about it. Now, facing this matter, if there are two choices in front of you, one is that everyone sits and waits to die together, and the whole family will be killed; the other is that only a few people die. Man, which one do you choose?"

Shi Xing was taken aback.

"You...you want to..."

"Yes, I want to kill Xiao Ruxun. If I kill him, the emperor will have no foreign aid, and the greatest help will be gone. The third eunuch of the Yumajian has been poisoned to death by me. The Yumajian can't be used for the time being. I will kill Zhang Cheng again. Your Majesty is completely helpless."

Shen Guanyi put the wine glass heavily on the table.

"Are you going to completely empty His Majesty? This is treason! This is rebellion! You are not just trying to kill Xiao Jixin, are you? What else do you want to do? Are you going to kill the king?! Shen Yiguan!!!"

Shi Xing roared at Shen Yiguan.

"I, Shen, have always been a courtier of Ming Dynasty. How could I do such a thing as killing the emperor? This is the side of the Qing emperor!"

Shen Yiguan looked cold and solemn: "This is the best method, and it is also the most convenient method. All you need to kill are the four guards of Tengxiang, the Imperial Horse Supervisor, the East Factory, the Supervisor of Rites, and the two thousand soldiers from the barracks outside the city. Yu Zhennan Army, and the three thousand troops from Xishan!"

Shi Xing stared at Shen Yiguan, gritted his teeth, and said fiercely: "That is the lives of tens of thousands of people! The lives of tens of thousands of people! Shen Yiguan, you are so vicious?"

"Otherwise, Shibutang, are you willing to exchange the lives of your entire family with them?"

Shen Yiguan looked at Shi Xing coldly.

Shi Xing looked at Shen's usual cold eyes in astonishment.

"I don't know if these people will pity you when your whole family is killed? When your wife and children cry to you for help but you can't do anything, will you regret it? Will you regret your choice today?"

"Ten thousand people were killed, or hundreds of thousands were killed, which one do you think is better?"

"Shibutang, are you really willing to give up the lives of your own family members? Are you willing to give up the old friends of your clan and disciples?"

"Those who stand outside are reluctant and willing to support the old man. At this moment, outside the city, the action has already begun. Xiao Ruxun himself is already on his way to Dong'anmen. Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner. Shibutang , what do you want to do? What can you do?"

"what?!"

Seeing Shen Tong's gloomy expression, Shi Xing was taken aback.

He knew that Shen had never lied.

Shen Yiguan did not lie.

In Xushi, a convoy departed from the capital city and arrived outside the city, and sent more than 300 jars of wine and some pork and mutton to the barracks of the Zhennan Army.

Wang Hui didn't receive the order that a convoy would come to give them support, but it's not surprising that the emperor's rewards came one after another in the past few days without any notice, so he led a team to meet these people outside the barracks.

"You are?"

With a warm smile on his face, a middle-aged military officer cupped his hands to Wang Hui: "I am here to deliver some wine and meat to you under the order of Xiao Shilang, the left servant of the Ministry of War. The Duke of Qin will take office tomorrow, and the Ministry of War has decided to do it for you." Congratulations, this is a gift."

Then the officer handed over the text of the Ministry of War, which also included a list. It was very normal to respond to the instructions. Wang Hui was relieved and smiled: "Then, the general will thank Shibutang and Xiao Shilang for the wine and meat on behalf of the whole army." !"

The middle-aged officer laughed, and left after delivering the convoy. Wang Hui took the convoy back to the camp. After looking at it, there were indeed hundreds of jars of wine and a lot of meat. Overjoyed, Wang Hui ordered the Huotou army to cook the meat Yes, and then the whole army will have a good meal together.

After a day of training, the soldiers of the Zhennan Army were happy to be able to eat meat. Wang Hui called the whole army together, gave each of them a bowl of wine, and then lectured the whole army.

"Originally, you shouldn't drink alcohol in the army, but today is a bit special. Tomorrow, Shiro will take up the post of the governor of the Jingying Rongzheng and the governor of the Chinese army. We will also be incorporated into the Beijing camp, and there will be more Trials await our brothers, and the glory of the Zhennan Army will not stop there! Everyone, drink this bowl to the brim!"

"Full drink!"

The soldiers of the Zhennan Army happily drank the wine in the bowl. Just as Wang Hui was about to drink the bowl of wine, he heard Lao Huotou shouting in his ears: "The meat is here!!!"

The sergeants hurriedly put down the bowls in their hands and went around to wait for the meat. Wang Hui looked at the lively appearance of the sergeants, but he didn't insist on letting the sergeants line up to wait for the meat, but seeing the cheerful appearance, he Suddenly remembered the conversation with Xiao Ruxun before, and couldn't help but worry about it.

I don't know if there will be such a lively scene in the army on the day when the big event is completed?How many of these comrades-in-arms who get along day and night can live to that day?

Wang Hui sighed.

"Vice General Wang! This bowl of meat is for you!"

Suddenly, Wang Hui heard someone calling himself, and when he turned his head, Wang Hui saw Lao Zhou running towards him with a bowl of meat: "If you don't come to eat, you will be eaten up by those bastards." , come, come, this bowl of meat is reserved for you!"

Wang Hui took the bowl of meat and was immediately happy.

"Old Zhou, you...how about it! I'll keep this bowl of meat, and I'll give you this bowl of wine!"

Lao Zhou took the wine with a smile, and finished the wine with a smile, while Wang Hui simply ate the meat, and stopped thinking about things that made him feel worried. Anyway, Xiao Ruxun will definitely have a way.

He thought so.

But not everyone has the same sorrow as him. They are very happy and relaxed, enjoying wine and meat to their heart's content. Eating meat and drinking in big bowls is already the bliss of life for most soldiers of this era.

Wang Hui ate meat silently, looked at each soldier, watched them chatting and laughing, and somehow calmed down.

Also, what do you think about the future now?No one can tell what will happen next...

After eating a bowl of meat, Wang Hui couldn't get enough of it, so he ate another bowl, and when he was about to ask for a third bowl, something happened suddenly.

"Tian Sheng! What's wrong with you, Tian Sheng? Tian Sheng?!"

Suddenly, an unharmonious factor appeared in the harmonious scene.
