Liu Xiu said: "Mr. Zheng is an academic master, and has always respected orthodoxy, I wonder if Mr. Zheng thinks that the Han family is orthodox or orthodox? ”

Zheng Xing owed, and Zhengse said: "Back to Your Majesty, the Han family is naturally orthodox. www.. org”

"So, what does Mr. Zheng think of the rebellion against the Han and the switch to Gongsun Shu?"

"This is a great rebellion!"

"What a big rebellion! In this case, Mr. Zheng will continue to assist Kui Huan and help the abuse? ”

Zheng Xing sighed secretly and said, "The king is ...... to Weichen For the grace of knowing the situation below, I should do my best to persuade the king to return to the right path! ”

The Son of Heaven addressed him as a gentleman, that is, he didn't treat him as a courtier, and it was not good for him to continue to be cheeky and call himself a micro-minister.

Liu Xiu looked at Zheng Xing and didn't speak immediately, Zheng Xing said again: "What's more, between Your Majesty and the King, someone also needs to pass on the message." ”

Regarding Zheng Xing's statement, Liu Xiu was noncommittal, and he waved his hand back. Soon, two guards stepped forward and pulled Kui over at the same time.

The two guards pressed Kui Sui to kneel on the ground, and Liu Xiu said: "Mr. Zheng, you go back and tell Kui Huan that Kui Xun is now in front of the two armies, if he wants to save Kui Xun's life, he will immediately go out of the city and surrender, I will not blame him for what he did before, if not, Kui Xun's life will not be guaranteed, and Kui Huan will ask the white-haired person to send the black-haired person!" ”

When Zheng Xing heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he subconsciously looked at Kui who was kneeling on the ground.

At this time, Kui Sui was already crying with snot and tears, and he said in a sharp voice: "Zheng Xijiu, you let my father save me!" Zheng Xijiu, you have to ask your father to come and save me quickly! ”

Zheng Xing's heart immediately lifted, and he said to Liu Xiu: "Your Majesty will show mercy to your subordinates for the time being, and return to Xicheng immediately in the next place, and you will ...... Tell the news of the eldest prince's repetition to the king! ”

Liu Xiu nodded and said: "My patience is limited, I only give Kui Huan three days, if after three days, Kui Huan still refuses to go out of the city and surrender, and has to resist stubbornly, then let him be ready to collect the body for Kui Huan!" ”

Zheng Xing hurriedly bowed his body and said, "I must report the king truthfully!" Zheng Xing very much doesn't want Kui Huan to fight with the Son of Heaven to the death, he hopes that the Son of Heaven can open up the net and spare Kui Huan, and also hopes that Kui Huan can sincerely repent, be back to Hanchen and assist the Han family, which is the most ideal result in his mind. www.. org If the Son of Heaven really kills Kui, then there will be no turning point, and in the end, the two sides can only fight to the death.

After meeting Liu Xiu and meeting Kui Xun again, Zheng Xing did not stay long, and immediately returned to Xicheng to truthfully convey Kui Xun's affairs to Kui Huan.

At this time, Kui Huan was already in the city gate tower, and the wind at the head of the city was too strong for his body to bear.

People spread soft couches in the city gate tower, so that Kui Huan can lie on his side. Jin Dan also boiled him a bowl of decoction, which contained a hundred-year-old ginseng and a hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, all of which were great tonic medicines.

After Kui Huan drank the decoction, his spirit was a little stronger, he looked at Zheng Xing who came back, and asked, "Shaogan, what did Liu Xiu say?" ”

Zheng Xing bowed his hand to Kui Huan and said, "Great King, now the eldest prince has been taken to the Han army camp, Your Majesty...... Liu Xiu said to Weichen that as long as the king is willing to surrender, he will not blame the past for what the king has done, and if the king does not surrender, then he will first take the prince to the knife! ”

Hearing this, Kui Huan's face changed, his body straightened up, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Kui'er...... Was brought to Xicheng by Liu Xiu? ”

"Now just outside the city, Wei Chen saw it with his own eyes, Liu Xiu said that the king only has three days to make a decision, if after three days, he still refuses to go out of the city and surrender, the eldest prince ...... The life of the eldest prince is difficult to protect! ”

Zheng Xing looked at Kui Huan with a blank eye, at this moment, he really hoped that Kui Huan would immediately agree to the conditions of the Son of Heaven, surrender the city, and turn the war with the imperial court into a jade silk.

Kui Huan looked at Zheng Xing blankly, and then motioned to the attendants on the side to help him up. He walked to the window of the city gate tower and raised his eyes to look out, even though Liu Xiu and the others had returned to the camp at this time, his gaze still did not retract for a long time.

Kui Sui is his eldest son, and he is also the son he values the most, and his feelings are the deepest, if Kui Sui is far away in Luoyang, it would be fine, now he has been taken to Xicheng by Liu Xiu, and he is close to him, but he doesn't even have the opportunity to meet his son, Kui Huan thought of this, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

Seeing that Kui Huan was crying sadly, Jin Dan came forward and said softly: "The king's condition has not yet healed, and right now, I can't cut away from excessive sadness, which hurts the body too much." ”

Kui Huan raised his arm, flicked the tears in the corners of his eyes with his cuffs, and asked, "Liu Xiu said that as long as I am willing to surrender, he will let him go?" ”

"Yes, the king, Liu Xiu is the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven will be true to his word!" Zheng Xing said urgently. www.. org

Before Kui Huan could speak again, Jin Dan whispered: "King, this is just Liu Xiu's plan!" Don't forget the lessons of Fan Chong and Zhang Bu! ”

Hearing this, Kui Huan's body was shocked, and he gasped at the same time. Zheng Xing glanced at Jin Dan, and then said to Kui Huan: "King, Weichen believes that what His Majesty said is true, please think twice!" ”

Jin Dan answered: "The king does not surrender, now the sacrifice is only the eldest prince, if the king listens to Liu Xiu's lies and falls for Liu Xiu's tricks, then there will be far more than the eldest prince who will die, the king, and even the second prince, etc., no one will survive." ”

After hearing this, Kui's face changed again, and he slowly lowered his head, his face changed. Zheng Xing glared at Jin Dan angrily, and his heart was itching with hatred.

He understood why Jin Dan didn't let the king surrender, the beam between Jin Dan and the Son of Heaven was too big, once the king surrendered, the Son of Heaven might not be difficult to be the king, but he would definitely not let him Jin Dan go.

For his own selfishness, Jin Dan repeatedly bewitched the king to confront the court to the end, and his heart can be punished!

Zheng Xing said to Kui Huan: "The king, Liu Xiu only gave three days for the king to consider, the king must not listen to slander, and finally harm the life of the eldest prince!" ”

Kui Huan closed his eyes in pain, feeling like his head was about to crack.

He was lightheaded, and his body shook repeatedly. Jin Dan took the first step, held Kui Huan's arm, and then hugged him, slowly walked to the soft couch, and let him lie down.

Jin Dan said: "King, Liu Xiu is now taking the life of the eldest prince to threaten the king to comply, but the king also needs to think about it, the relationship between the king and Liu Xiu has become like this, the two sides are like fire and water, in the future, can Liu Xiu really treat the king well?" Liu Xiuqi has always been a sweet-hearted sword, and the king must not be evil! ”

"But he ...... him"

"Dan thought that Liu Xiu wanted to kill the eldest prince, and he would have killed him a long time ago, so why wait until now? This time, it is likely that Liu Xiu is bluffing! Besides, Liu Xiu cherishes his reputation so much, how could he do something to threaten hostages? ”

Hearing this, Kui Huan seemed to see a ray of light in the darkness. Zheng Xing on the side couldn't wait to scold his mother!

The Son of Heaven should cherish his reputation, but the problem is that now the two sides are in a hostile relationship, Kui Huan's identity is a thief, and Kui Xun is the son of a thief.

The Son of Heaven killed the son of the thief, there is no problem at all, it is a matter of course, what does this have to do with whether the Son of Heaven loves his reputation or not?

What Jin Dan said was completely covering his ears and stealing the bell, avoiding the important and trivial. He said: "King, now is the last chance to rescue the eldest prince, the king must not be confused!" ”

"Bold!" Before Kui Huan could do anything, Jin Dan was furious first, raised his hand to Zheng Xing, and asked loudly: "Body, courtier, you dare to insult the king for being confused, what crime should you be guilty of Zheng sacrificial wine?" ”

Zheng Xing ignored Jin Dan, but looked at Kui Huan with a blank eye. Don't look at Kui Huan, he values Jin Dan very much, but Zheng Xing doesn't take him seriously.

The foundation of this Liangzhou was laid down by these old ministers with the help of the king, but did Jin Dan contribute? Has he made any merits to the foundation of Liangzhou? No!

Kui Huan's closed eyes slowly opened, looked at Zheng Xing, waved his hand and said, "Okay, Shao Gan has also worked hard, go back and rest!" ”

"The King's ......"

"Let's go down!" Kui Huan glanced at him and closed his eyes again.

Zheng Xing had no choice but to bow to Kui Huan, and then withdrew from the city gate tower. Watching him walk out, the corners of Jin Dan's mouth hooked, and he said softly to Kui Huan: "The king doesn't have to worry, the defense of Xicheng is impregnable, no matter how many soldiers and horses the enemy army has, it is difficult to break through Xicheng, not to mention, Xicheng still has Rongqiu to assist in defense......"

Listening to the city gate tower, Jin Dan was still vigorously offering slander, Zheng Xing couldn't help but look up to the sky and sighed, it seems that he, the courtier of King Shuoning, is also about to come to an end.

No matter how strong the city defense of Xicheng is, it is only a city after all, and it is only a matter of time before it is captured by the Han army.

Three days went by in a flash. Three days have passed, but Kui Huan is still guarding the West City, refusing to come out to surrender, the Han army generals came to the Chinese army tent, met the Son of Heaven, and asked the Son of Heaven to give an order to kill Kui.

In the matter of killing Kui, Liu Xiu was also a little reluctant. Kui Xie had done something wrong, but that much time had passed, and he had been punished accordingly.

In addition, Kui Xie has been in Luoyang for so many years, and Kui Huan's rebellion really has nothing to do with Kui Xun, and now if he kills Kui Xun, Kui Xie is indeed quite wronged.

Seeing that Liu Xiu's attitude was a little hesitant, Wu Han, Cen Peng, Cho Qi, Sai Zun, Lai Xi and others were all anxious, and said one after another: "Your Majesty, if you don't kill Kui, it's not enough to deter the thieves!" ”

"Your Majesty is Chrysostom and Yuyan, and made a three-day covenant, and now that the three days have arrived, the thief is unmoved, and Your Majesty should kill Kui and raise the prestige of the Son of Heaven!"

Liu Xiu looked at the generals, pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "Kui will behead the public!" In addition, send someone to raise the head of Kui and circle the city three times! ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Hearing that Liu Xiu finally gave the order to kill Kui Xian, all the generals were overjoyed and bowed their hands one after another.

On the same day, Wu Han was responsible for supervising the beheading, and the sword and axe hand in the army cut off the head of Kui Sui, and then, the Han soldiers hung Kui Sui's head on a bamboo pole, and a soldier held a bamboo pole and rode around the city.

Kui Huan's health was not good, and he suddenly heard the news that Kui Xun was killed, and his head was still hung with a bamboo pole, and he was carried around the city by the Han soldiers, he didn't come in one breath, and fainted directly.

Many ministers surrounded the front and called for Kui Huan, Zheng Xing did not go forward, but just watched coldly from the sidelines, and there were no previous expressions of loyalty like him, as well as Shen Tugang and Du Lin.

Zheng Xing turned his head to look at the two of them, and they also looked at Zheng Xing, and the three of them looked at each other, shaking their heads and smiling bitterly.

They are now disappointed in Kui Huan, who is no longer the master of the corporal Lixian at the beginning, but just a mediocre master who is ignorant and incompetent and listens to slander.

Shen Tugang and Du Lin were both former ministers during Wang Mang's period, and later joined Kui Huan.

Du Lin, like Zheng Xing, is an academic master, and his achievements are not below Zheng Xing.

Zheng Xing is good at "Zuo Chuan", Du Lin is good at "Shangshu", and he is also the earliest initiator of "Guwen Shangshu".

According to Du Lin's Shangshu "Discipline", Jia Kui did the training, Ma Rong made the biography, and Zheng Xuan annotated.

These people were all masters of the academic school at that time, which shows the high academic status of Du Lin, in modern terms, Du Lin and Zheng Xing, that is, everyone at the level of national treasures.

Shen Tugang is also quite talented and learned, and dares to give direct advice, when Kui Huan decided to switch to Gongsun Shu, Shen Tugang was one of the ministers who strongly opposed it, and his opposition was not to complain behind his back, but to directly alienate Kui Huan.

Of course, Kui Huan did not accept Shen Tugang's dissuasion, but Shen Tugang's courage is indeed big enough, and he has the potential to be a counselor.
