Chapter 191 Kneeling to greet Master Wang, Apocalypse interrogates traitorous ministers!
Wang Yongguang had already changed into patched clothes at this time. After seeing what Zhu Changhao said, he only wiped his tears with the patched sleeves, and choked up and said:
"Your Highness! There is nothing wrong with benevolent government. After His Highness implements benevolent government, the prefectures and counties under His Royal Highness's control will be full of people and people, and it can be called a prosperous age!"
"It's just that His Highness's great cause has just started, the foundation is not stable, and the corrupt monarch and treacherous party are too powerful, which led to the current situation."
"But Your Highness don't need to be overly depressed. The heavens will send a great responsibility to the people. You must first work hard, and everything will be fine."
Zhu Changhao smiled wryly: "But I heard that Wei Hui has many people who starved to death. How can it be regarded as a harmonious people? What's more, after Gu raised his troops, he raised his salary twice. I'm afraid the common people will think that Gu is not as good as that stupid king. The foolish emperor only pays taxes but does not raise taxes."
"Your Highness, please don't underestimate yourself. Those who starve to death are just lazy people. Don't feel sorry for such lazy people!"
"The monarch should practice benevolent government, but it doesn't have to support lazy people."
"As for raising wages, it is a last resort. The people are His Highness's people, and they will understand His Highness. After all, there are no children in the world who don't understand their parents. Otherwise, they can only be called unfilial sons."
"For example, as one of His Highness's subordinates, I don't feel that His Highness is inferior to that stupid emperor, but only thinks that His Highness is in charge and his ministers wait like a spring breeze."
Wang Yongguang comforted Zhu Changhao seriously at this time.
No way, Zhu Changhao is still of use value to him now, he must continue to coax Zhu Changhao well.
Zhu Changhao was still a little lonely in his heart and said: "Wang Qing, how can Gu make you feel like a spring breeze? When you are at the Hunjun's place, at least you can still receive the full salary, and you can also support honest money. You are the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Reward silver for performance. Like here in Gu, you can only receive half of the salary, and you have to pay for it."
Naturally, Wang Yongguang would not say clearly that although the regular income here is not much, the gray income can be hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands, so he said: "Your Highness! How can a gentleman only seek profit! As a disciple of a sage, even if you are poor and hungry Even if I die, I only wish to serve a virtuous and benevolent master! How can you be frowning for a faint king because of high officials and rich salary? Your Highness should cheer up, as long as the monarch and his ministers are united, they will be able to overcome the difficulties. , everyone is clean and honest, all are loyal and loyal, and they don't worry about the great cause."
"Please cheer up, Your Highness!"
"Please cheer up, Your Highness!"
"Please cheer up, Your Highness!"
Zhu Changhao glanced at it, and saw that all the ministers in the hall were all patched up and their faces were sallow, but they were still very active in persuading themselves to cheer up, and they were not depressed, but they were very touched, and said:
"It's rare that Qing and others are so loyal and trustworthy. How can I not cheer up? I still don't believe that the sky will stand by Zhu Youxiao!"
"Report! The imperial army has captured Qi County! It is only a river away from Weihui City!"
But the slap in the face came too fast.
As soon as Zhu Changhao finished speaking, Ding Qirui came to report the latest news.
Zhu Changhao sat back on the chair after hearing this.
And Zhu Changhao couldn't help saying: "Why didn't you keep it, why are the officials in these places so incompetent!"
As he spoke, Zhu Changhao said again: Now it seems that we can only move to Guanzhong first. "
"No!"
Wang Yongguang hurriedly expressed his objection at this time, and said: "Your Highness's ancestral tomb is here, how can you abandon it! Please rest assured, Your Highness, I have deployed heavy troops in the surrounding counties of Weihui City, and I will definitely be able to defend Weihui."
"this…"
Zhu Changhao was also embarrassed for a while, so he could only say: "What Wang Qing said is true."
Therefore, Zhu Changhao no longer decided to move to Guanzhong, but still just discussed some insignificant etiquette affairs with the courtiers every day, such as who should pursue the posthumous title and who should be granted the title.
But not long after, another urgent report came. Zhu Changhao couldn't help being shocked when he heard it, and looked at Wang Yongguang and said, "Wang Qing, what's going on? Didn't you say that these places have heavy troops deployed, and they don't fight at all?" And dropped?"
Wang Yongguang can't say clearly, because the court officers and soldiers used a trick to trap you in the countryside around you if you don't surrender, so the gentry had to surrender. It's just because you want to dedicate your Highness King Lu to His Majesty for meritorious service. After all, since the outcome has already been determined to be a loss, you have to plan your retreat in advance.
So, Wang Yongguang just keeps silent now, and he really can't think of a better way to fool Zhu Changhao.
"Speak up! Wang Qing!"
Zhu Changhao saw that he was silent, so he lost his composure and shouted loudly.
Wang Yongguang remained silent.
Zhu Changhao saw that Wang Yongguang was silent, so he could only continue to ask: "I have to think of a way, should I just watch his imperial army come to surround my Weihui City? Should Mao Yujian come to help, even if he should take the lead alone? Come down, you have to make up your mind."
Wang Yongguang still remained silent.
The other ministers were also silent.
The noisy hall in the past is now completely silent, extremely silent.
Zhu Changhao had no choice but to come over in person, grabbed Wang Yongguang's shoulder, shook it vigorously, and shouted: "Speak!"
Wang Yongguang remained silent.
"you!"
Zhu Changhao suddenly began to feel that his civil servants were disgusting, and his fingers trembled with anger. In the end, he sat back helplessly and waved his hand: "Retire."
This time, his civil servants replied.
"The ministers will leave!"
Zhu Changhao smiled helplessly.
"His majesty, the wise and mighty emperor, is leading his royal teachers to the outskirts of Weihui. We have finally seen the dawn! The cruel and tyrannical anti-king and his traitors will be executed most severely! Think about it! A great joy."
"Ming Li Bao" has also begun to blackmail Zhu Changhao at this time.
No way, they have no choice but to blackmail. When necessary, betraying the heroes they have created is a skill they have honed in the historical events of several regime changes.
Tianqi arrived at Weihui City with the army soon.
At this time, Wang Yongguang had brought Wei Hui Wen Wu to kneel outside Wei Hui City.
Wang Yongguang had long wanted to dedicate the city to surrender. At first, he wanted to dedicate Zhangde City in the name of the supervisor.
But he didn't expect that Zhangde City fell too quickly, before he arrived, it fell, so now he can only sacrifice Weihui City, and by the way, keep Zhu Changli, so that Zhu Changli can take the whole city with him. Wei Huicheng dedicated it back to the imperial court, and made meritorious deeds in order to obtain the chance of exoneration.
"The guilty minister waits to welcome His Majesty!"
Wang Yongguang buried his head and shouted immediately after seeing Tianqi and others appear.
Tian Qi glanced at these people, and then asked Zhao Jiding who was still in the prison car: "Zhao Jiding, why do you think they came to greet me on their knees, instead of fighting me **** for their benevolent lord and sage?"
Zhao Jiding said: "I have nothing to say!"
Tianqi smiled, and asked Wang Yongguang again: "Wang Yongguang, didn't you say that King Lu wins the hearts of the world, and he will win my country, and I will be killed by him, so you can only die for me at that time, why? Now that you have transformed yourself and come to assist him, King Lu, and become a cabinet minister of King Lu? Tell me, why don't you plan to die for me again?"
