Chapter 1872: The World Has Me (46)
And even Gu Cong and his sons didn't let go?
Guo Xian, Master Tong and others can be said to be treacherous and slandered. In order to consolidate their status and eliminate dissidents.
But what about the emperor?
Gu Mo also thought about this issue seriously. She summarized many reasons, such as Gu Cong was straightforward and did not listen to the emperor very much, which made the emperor dislike him.
For example, the military expenditure was too large, and the emperor was afraid that he would ask the court for military expenditure.
Or because of the battle for imperial power, Gu Cong accidentally participated in the battle for several princes to seize the throne.
But if you think about these reasons carefully, you will not stand it.
Now that Gu Mo saw Huizong himself, he finally understood the reason why his father had to die.
In fact, the reason is really simple. The emperor and the entire upper bureaucratic group did not want to break the balance with the real country, and even wanted to sign a century-old contract like the Dan Kingdom back then.
The ambition of the True Kingdom is obvious, and everyone knows that they cannot live in peace with the Central Plains dynasty. Why did the emperor firmly believe that the century-old contract can be successfully concluded when the Yu country's power is weak?
Because the contract with the Dan Kingdom was in front of it, because the emperor had close ministers who were secretly discussing this matter with the real Kingdom.
The emperor was cowardly and selfish. He was cowardly and selfish. If he had a little hope of peace and success, he would not want to make a big fuss.
But what about Gu Cong? He is brave and resourceful, and is a person who makes the real country and the Dan Kingdom scared. He is the well-deserved first among the military generals of the entire Yu country.
He did not have the cunning and cunning of Guo Xianshi, nor did he have the flattery of Eunuch Tong, he was extravagant and extremely lustful, nor did he have the bad nature of court officials who were greedy for money and lustful.
Wherever the march goes, you will not demolish the house if you freeze to death, and you will not starve to death and will not plunder.
He believed that civil officials did not love money and military officials would not hesitate to die, and the world would be peaceful.
He always stood at the height of national justice throughout his life, and was a symbol of the backbone of the nation. He had a good reputation and high reputation in the minds of the people. The people all placed their hopes of repelling the true country on him.
How can this make others live? How can others coexist with him?
In particular, the emperor was not a wise king, and there were no wise ministers like Wei Zheng around him who restrained his nature.
Therefore, the emperor's sinister and cruel side broke out. Every time he was fooled with Master Guo and others, he felt very relaxed when he found his kind, and stood with someone like Gu Cong and felt ashamed.
Over time, Gu Cong became an unbearable existence, so Gu Cong had to die.
Yes, just because of this, just because Gu Cong's existence made him unable to eat, drink and have fun with peace of mind, so a king could ignore the future of the country and the loyalty of a minister, and let the minister die on his back on the crime of treason.
How can this not make people angry?
Gu Mo really used all his self-control to control the urge to kill Huizong with one shot.
Huizong was even more furious when Gu Mo saw it, "I, I have already done my best. Don't be ungrateful..."
Gu Mo suddenly felt that talking nonsense to such people was a waste of time. He was not ignorant of it or did not know the truth. He was used to being selfish and was accustomed to being the only one who was the only one. He felt that the world should be shifted around his will.
Only when such a person uses absolute power and power to beat him to cry can he be honest.
So Gu Mo said: "I won't go to attack the people of Jiangnan because they are not wrong."
"It's not wrong that they are all committing the rebellion?"
Why do they rebel? Why are they so angry? Don’t you think about it?”
Huizong, “…”
He silent for a long time before saying, "I did something wrong, but..."
Gu Mo, "If you know you are wrong, admit your mistake. Write a self-criticism and reflect on yourself. Return all the robbed property and women, and give the people some compensation. Then take your people away from Jiangnan, and the rebellion in Jiangnan will naturally collapse."
Huizong, “…!!”
Let him leave Jiangnan, don’t even think about it!
Jiangnan is so good, there are so many beauties, and there are countless gold, silver and jewelry. The climate is pleasant. He likes it very much and will never leave even if he dies!
Hui Zong left with a angrily voice. The officials immediately surrounded him and learned what Gu Mo said to Hui Zong, and also followed Hui Zong to scold Gu Mo.
However, some officials advised Huizong to surrender to the nobles and write a self-criticism. As for compensation, leaving Jiangnan, they can make promises, but whether they can do it or not is their business.
As for the people, they are all ignorant, just cheat them casually.
Huizong was soon convinced, and then asked the officials to write a self-criticism for him, saying that what they had bullied the people of Jiangnan before was a misunderstanding, and that the people below were bullying the people under the banner of the Supreme Emperor. The Supreme Emperor and the officials were actually unaware of it.
Even Huizong was very sympathetic to the people. After arriving in Jiangnan, he still gave them a lot of favors, but they were all deceived by the subordinates and hidden from their subordinates, and they were filled with their own pockets.
Because of these dogs, not only the people suffered, but the uninformed Huizong was also deceived. So as the Supreme Emperor, I am also a victim. It is the same as you, why do you have to make things difficult for me?
After some swearing, he generously expressed his previous excessive behavior, which the official understands very well, so as long as you put down your weapons, go home honestly and be a good citizen, and pardon your sins.
Finally, the scapegoats were pulled on the street to march and made public, and were beaten to death by the angry Jiangnan people.
Gu Mo, “…”
It was really...
However, the people are very fond of this. Huizong's self-criticism and promises appeased the emotions of the people in Jiangnan. After all, in this era, the imperial power idea was deeply rooted, and now the emperor has come forward to admit his mistakes. So what else do they have to do? Just go home and live a good life.
The people went home one after another and stopped rebelling, and the leaders of the rebel army became oligarchs.
At this time, Huizong Group went to Gu Mo to clamor, asking Gu Mo to attack quickly and completely eliminate these unruly rebels.
As a result, Gu Mo ordered to start plundering the residences of the Supreme Emperor and the major officials, and return all the money they had previously plundered from the people in Jiangnan to the people.
Even the huge wealth they brought from the capital to Jiangnan was plundered by Gu Mo, and Gu Mo used this part to appease the refugees.
Huizong and a group of officials were so angry that they shouted and killed Gu Mo, but Gu Mo packed them all, took them away together, and went back to the capital.
A group of people were stunned.
Gu Mo, "Your Majesty said in his edict that he was willing to use all the money to compensate the people and then leave Jiangnan. Are you just talking?"
Huizong, “…”
He is really just talking about it!
"No, I won't go back. Jiangnan is now in a mess and needs me to take charge of the overall situation. I..."
Gu Mo blocked his mouth and asked someone to drag it away directly.
