Chapter 1657: Once and for All (I)

Less than a thousand people gathered around Zhuge Di, all of them trembling with panic, they had already been frightened by the brutal massacre in the city, and they threw away their blades and squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, waiting for the Tang army to judge their fate.

Zhuge Di still sat on horseback, looking at the hellish Singha City, the collapsed temples, the collapsed pagodas, the buildings that had been reduced to ashes were razed to the ground, and even the royal palace not far away was looming in the smoke......

Is this our royal city?

Look at the pools of blood flowing in the streets and alleys of the city, densely packed with corpses, stumps and broken arms...... Zhuge Di's expression was blank, and his eyes were empty.

What have you done?

This century-old royal city was reduced to ashes because of itself.

Tens of thousands of young soldiers of Linyi Kingdom died here because of themselves.

Hundreds of thousands of wealthy commoners of the royal family were slaughtered because of themselves......

If it weren't for his ambition, at least most of these tens of thousands of Qin Wang's troops would have returned to their hometowns, and it would have been impossible for the Tang Army to carry out massacres across the country, right? He finally understood that the Tang army used his hand to involve the tens of thousands of Qin Wang's troops in the war, and then wiped out all the young and strong people of Linyi Kingdom, including the rebels, once and for all!

Dozens of hundreds of years later, how will the children and grandchildren of Lin Yiguo spit on him, a sinner through the ages?

As soon as he thought of this, Zhuge was cold all over his body, and he held the hilt of the knife tightly in his hand, but he couldn't muster up the courage to break himself off......

It's come to this, it's too late to regret it!

Zhuge looked blankly at the ruined Singha Buluo City, looked at the corpses everywhere in front of him, his ears were filled with howls and screams, his brain was dizzy, and he fell straight off the horse.

Fell to the ground with a "bang......

The personal guards beside him didn't dare to move, so they let him lie on the ground in a daze, lest the Tang army suspect him of bad intentions and shoot him with arrows.

A war horse slowly came to Zhuge Di, the bowl-sized iron hooves made a clanging sound on the road, Zhuge Di came back to his senses, tilted his head, and saw Liu Renliang's square face.

"Traitor!"

Zhuge is angry from his heart, evil is born to the side of the gall, his eternal infamy is from the deception of this person, and he can't wait to bite it to death! He sat up from the ground suddenly, the treasure knife in his hand had just fallen, and the anger made him lose his will, so he rushed towards Liu Renliang with his bare hands!

"Bang!"

In the oblique thorn, a Tang Jun flashed over, raised his foot and kicked Zhuge Di's chest fiercely, kicking him backwards and flying out four or five steps, and falling to the ground like a broken sack.

Liu Renliang took two steps forward, looked at the embarrassed Zhuge Di condescendingly, and said dissatisfiedly: "The rebels in the city have been wiped out, and it is when you ascend the throne, what are you crazy about?" ”

"Traitor!"

Zhuge scolded loudly, struggled and was about to turn over and get up, two horizontal knives were already across his throat, the cold blades cut through the flesh, the piercing murderous aura made Zhuge shiver, a body of courage was exhausted, and he hung his head and said: "If you want to kill, you can do whatever you want, I only hate that I misbelieved your words in my mind, and I will regret it for life now......"

As he spoke, tears flowed from his eyes.

Sometimes, some things are indeed more difficult than death.

But when death came, I found that death was not an easy thing, and it was difficult to die since ancient times......

"What for? How can you be so rude to His Royal Highness? Stand down! ”

Liu Renliang shouted at the two soldiers who put the horizontal knife on Zhuge Di's neck, and then threw the stirrup off the saddle and turned over and dismounted, took two steps forward to help Zhuge Di up with his own hands, and said gently: "Where did His Majesty the King say, why can't you understand it?" The Fan royal family has been slaughtered by the traitor Jiadu, and you are the only one in the world who bears the blood of the Fan royal family, and you are the rightful monarch of the Linyi country, how can you give up on yourself like this? ”

Zhuge Di was helped up by Liu Renliang in a daze, looking at Liu Renliang's sincere expression, his brain became more and more difficult: "King? You used me to slaughter tens of thousands of young and strong soldiers of Linyi Kingdom, and now that your goal has been achieved, Linyi Kingdom will not have the strength to fight against the Tang Dynasty for decades, don't you kill me, a useless person, now? ”

Liu Renliang's eyes widened, and he said unhappily: "Your Majesty, where did this come from?" The Tang Dynasty and the Linyi Kingdom are brotherly states, and the rebel thief Jia Du killed the king to usurp the throne and cause chaos, so the Tang Dynasty naturally has the obligation to send troops to help the brotherly state quell the rebellion and set things right! The rebels were tyrannical, slaughtered the merchants and people in the city, many temples and buildings were burned, and the army of King Qin under the leadership of the king fought hard to punish the traitors, and suffered huge casualties...... Datang and Linyi are friends, and they should develop in friendship and harmony from generation to generation, so how can they slaughter tens of thousands of young people in Linyi? ”

Zhuge Di's eyes are about to pop out, everyone has been killed by you, can you still admit it?

"Let your tongue bloom lotus, but how can you hide this matter from the world?"

Liu Renliang let go of his hand, slowly straightened his waist, and looked at Zhuge Di with a cold face: "History is written by the victors. The king of Jiadu usurped the throne, Your Excellency led the army to crusade, and when the war situation was in crisis, the Tang Dynasty took action...... It's as simple as that. Most of the powerful ministers of your country have lost most of them, and the people in the countryside don't even recognize the words, so it's not what you say? ”

Zhuge Di's originally dead gray eyes slowly lit up......

That's right!

How many literate people can there be in Lin Yiguo? Most of them died in this war, and the rest of the village men are all barbaric and stupid, where can they distinguish between the true and the false, the good and the evil? As long as the unified voice is preached according to Liu Renliang's rhetoric, a hundred years later, this is the only truth!

After thinking about it, Zhuge Di was still a little uneasy, and asked in a sneer: "But the people are still literate after all, in case these things are written down and passed on to future generations......

Liu Renliang waved his hand domineeringly: "What's so difficult about this?" For the sake of Your Majesty's throne and reputation, you can decree that from this day forward, all the people of Linyi should learn Chinese characters, speak Chinese, and read Chinese books! As long as the king unifies the propaganda at once, even if there are one or two foolish people spreading rumors, who will be gullible to believe it? ”

Zhuge suddenly opened up!

Familiar with Han books, he naturally knows the importance of propaganda, "the people can make it, but not make it known"!

"The way of the sage is far-reaching, and people are not easy to know", national affairs are not those short-sighted and illiterate fools can understand, for the court's political strategy, "the people can use it every day but can't know", what the court asks you to do, you just do it obediently, there is no need to figure out why you do it, because you don't understand it......

So...... I don't necessarily have to become a sinner for the ages in Lin Yi Kingdom?

There's a lot to be done!

Seeing that his reputation might not be nailed to the pillar of shame in the history of Lin Yiguo, Zhuge regained his spirits, rubbed his aching waist, and said to Liu Renliang with a sneer: "That's right, Jia Du killed the king and usurped the throne, and led the army of King Qin to defend the orthodoxy and hang the people, and finally punished the traitor with the assistance of the Tang Dynasty friendly army!" ”

Zhuge Di's heart is about to blossom, so not only will he not become a sinner, but he will become a great hero of Lin Yi Kingdom?

It's an unexpected bonus......

As for learning Chinese characters, speaking Chinese, and reading Chinese books...... What's wrong with that?

A good thing that you can't ask for!

Looking at the world, since the Qin and Han dynasties, which of all the surrounding small countries has not taken Sinology as the highest status? Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje, Wakoku, Limgeup...... Learning Chinese characters is a privilege that only nobles can have, and the Han classics are like smoke and waves, and they may not be able to learn it if they are in a hurry!

Zhuge made up his mind that he must firmly hold the thighs of the Tang people, so that not only can he ascend the throne as stable as Mount Tai, but also use the power of the Tang people to carry out public opinion, hide the tragedy in front of him, and completely whitewash himself.

As for the resentment that was deceived and used by the Tang Army and the blood feud of more than 100,000 Linyi people...... Compared with the supreme throne and love history of his own country, it's a fart!

Although Zhuge Di is also surnamed Zhuge , he is not a descendant of Zhuge Liang and has not inherited Zhuge Liang's wisdom, but he is not stupid.

On the point that he had to follow in the footsteps of the Tang people and accept the manipulation and would rather be a puppet, he immediately decided: "What to do next, please ask the governor to give instructions, and I will accept it and fully cooperate." ”

If he doesn't cooperate, he is sure that the Tang people will immediately say that he will abandon him, and turn around to find a remnant noble minister of Linyi State to push him up......

Liu Renliang laughed and patted Zhuge Di's shoulder with satisfaction: "Those who know the times are Junjie, and I believe that Lin Yiguo will maintain friendly cooperation with Datang under the leadership of Your Majesty, and it will definitely be prosperous and prosperous, and Bengu Bangning!" ”

Zhuge smiled flatteringly, but sighed in his heart: Bengu Bangning? Lin Yi Guoqing is dead more than half of his vitality, and his vitality is greatly damaged, and from now on, I am afraid that he will be gradually eaten away by you Tang people, and maybe after thousands of years, the country will be wiped out......

When the land of Linyi is full of Han descendants, what is the difference between this country being called Linyi or the Tang Dynasty?
