Chapter 560: Gongsun Tian's Choice (Fourth Watch)
I saw the man wearing the veil, reaching out and taking off his veil. knelt directly in front of Li Tai.
This couldn't help but make everyone present feel puzzled. even suspected that this person had a great grievance. came to Li Tai to prepare to appeal his grievances.
But at this time, Rwanda, who was standing on the side, said in surprise: "Aren't you Gongsun Tian?" Why did you come to see His Royal Highness King Yan in this dress? ”
Everyone never expected that this mysterious person would be Gongsun Tian, the eldest son of the Gongsun family. Even Li Tai felt unexpected.
"His Royal Highness King Yan, the grass people are Gongsun Tian, the son of Gongsun Bonian. I came to see His Royal Highness King Yan today, because I wanted to tell him something. Gongsun Tian Li Tai said.
"Gongsun Gongzi, please get up quickly, if you have anything to say, stand up and say it." Li Tai said politely to Gongsun Tian.
"His Royal Highness King Xie Yan, the grass people came to see His Royal Highness King Yan this time. For the sake of the future of the Gongsun family, I hope that His Royal Highness King Yan can help the grass people. Gongsun Tian said to Li Tai.
"This king implements a new policy, as long as your grandson family supports this king. How can this king embarrass your grandson's family? Li Tai said to Gongsun Tian.
"Don't hide it from His Royal Highness King Yan, now my father has decided. led the Gongsun family to the Khitan King, that is, the brother-in-law of the grass people. ”
"How could the grass people persuade to no avail, so I came to ask His Royal Highness King Yan in desperation. I hope that His Royal Highness King Yan can stop his father from doing stupid things. Gongsun Tian knelt on the ground again and said to Li Tai.
Li Tai didn't expect that Gongsun Bonian would finally make this decision. But this made Li Tai very puzzled, why Gongsun Bonian would make such a decision.
"What this king has confiscated is only the land of your grandson's family, and it is not confiscated for no reason. But your father led the Gongsun family to flee to the Khitan, and the land could not be taken away, and it would not be the king's at that time. ”
"I don't know why your father made this decision, it doesn't seem to be good for your grandson's family." Li Tai asked puzzled.
"Presumably, His Royal Highness King Yan knows that my grandson's family is inherited from the prince of Liaodong during the Three Kingdoms period. Therefore, my grandson's family has a private army that has been passed down from generation to generation. ”
"His Royal Highness King Yan's new certificate clearly stipulates that no one in the territory of Yan is allowed to raise a private army in any form. Therefore, the private army of the Gongsun family is also facing being disbanded. ”
"But my father didn't want to see it, so he made this stupid decision." Gongsun Tian said to Li Tai.
Li Tai has also studied the history of the Three Kingdoms, but he has never heard of any decent secret troops in Gongsun Du.
So Li Tai said to Gongsun Tian: "Tell this private army of your Gongsun family to this king in detail." ”
"Back then, my ancestor Gongsun Du formed a guard of 3,000 people. Because the area around Liaodong is often covered by heavy snow in winter, these 3,000 guards are all dressed in white, so they are named the Snow Fox Army. ”
Later, this Snow Fox Army was passed down from generation to generation and has always protected the foundation of the Gongsun family. Now this snow fox army has been passed into the hands of my father. Gongsun Tian said to Li Tai.
Li Tai didn't expect that there would be such a mysterious army during the Three Kingdoms period. It seems that the history of the Three Kingdoms has indeed ignored the existence of Gongsun Du.
No wonder some people in later generations said that the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty should not be called the Three Kingdoms. Rather, it should be called Shikoku.
Because at that time, it was not only Cao Cao, the king of Wei, Sun Quan, the king of Wu, and Liu Bei, the king of Shu, who dominated the side. There is also one who is entrenched in Liaodong, the prince of Liaodong.
Maybe it's because Sun Du, the prince of Liaodong, did not participate in the battle for the Central Plains. That's why it was ignored by historians.
"I didn't expect your Gongsun family to have such a guard. I don't know why you have come to tell this king about this? Li Tai asked Gongsun Tian.
"Although the grass people don't understand the righteousness, they know that they can't take refuge in the Fanbang alien race. This decision made by my father is tantamount to pushing the Gongsun family into a place of no return. ”
"There are many families that have slowly declined in the long course of history. But they will not be cursed by posterity. Because they have not done anything treacherous. ”
"But what my father is doing today is no different from that of a foreign country. The grass people don't want the Gongsun family to be charged with traitors. Gongsun Tian said to Li Tai.
Li Tai couldn't help but nod when he heard Gongsun Tian's words. I couldn't help but have a three-point higher evaluation of this Gongsun Tian in my heart.
"Do you know that your decision today may cost your father and family their lives as a result?" Li Tai looked at Gongsun Tian and asked.
"The grass people know that this will definitely be the result in the end. Even so, the grass people can't look at the Gongsun family and walk on the road to foreign countries. Gongsun Tian said to Li Tai.
"Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, and your pure heart is very satisfied. I wonder if you would like to stay under this king's command? After Li Tai nodded, Gongsun Tian said.
"I'm afraid that the grass people don't have that chance anymore, and when my father and second brother are beheaded, it will be the day when the grass people commit suicide."
"The grass people only hope that His Royal Highness King Yan will only punish the evil, and don't affect the rest of the Gongsun family." Gongsun Tian shook his head and said.
Everyone didn't expect that Gongsun Tian would be ready to die in the name of loyalty and filial piety. This can't help but make everyone admire Gongsun Tian even more.
"Have you ever thought that after the death of your father and son, who will take over this huge Gongsun family?" Li Tai asked Gongsun Tian.
"His Royal Highness King Yan can choose one of the juniors of the Gongsun family to take over the Gongsun family. Of course, King Yan can also directly classify the Gongsun family as owned by the Yan Kingdom. Gongsun Tian said to Li Tai.
"This Gongsun Tian actually made such a decision for the sake of the reputation of the Gongsun family. This is a model for my generation, do you think such a person should die? Li Tai opened his mouth and asked everyone.
"My lord, this Gongsun Tian is a man of great benevolence and righteousness. In the name of loyalty and filial piety, I would rather kill myself. I'm afraid I won't be able to find a few people in the world. Rwanda said to Li Tai.
"This king thinks so too, so this king will never let you die. Now this king gives you two choices, first, to survive and atone for your father's sins. ”
"The second is that you choose to commit suicide, and then this king will kill all the old and young of your grandson's family. Even if it is a mouse, this king will not let the Gongsun family stay. ”
"And announce to the world that your father, Gongsun Bonian, is preparing to communicate with foreign countries and flee to Khitan. Let the people of the world regard your grandson's family as a traitor. Li Tai looked at Gongsun Tian and said.
Gongsun Tian never thought that Li Tai would be so resolute in his actions. Let yourself simply not have the slightest choice.
So he could only sit on the ground with all his body weak. There was no sparkle in his eyes, as if he didn't even know what to do now.
"Gongsun Tian, the lord has taken a fancy to your character, so he will have the heart to recruit you. Why are you so persistent? Rwanda stretched out his hand to help Gongsun Tian up, and then said to Gongsun Tian.
