C619 A Decree at a Critical Moment
Shen Muqing was prepared, so he gathered them and said: "All of you follow me."1
A moment later, Shen Muqing returned with a royal decree in his hand. Yao Yue and the others asked, "What happened to you, Prince?"
Instead of getting up, Shen Muqing looked worried. Wang Yuyan thought carefully and asked, "Your Royal Highness, His Majesty gave you a title and praised Gongsun Zan. What's wrong with bestowing so much on you?"
Shen Muqing shook his head, "The matter of the viscount was expected. Gongsun Zan's edict was sent out, but this king never expected Gongsun Zan to commit such a heinous crime, offending almost all the officials in the Youzhou, forcing the imperial government to appoint Liu Yu. Although it is balanced, it is not a wise decision."
Wang Yuyan said, "His Majesty has conferred him the title of a great general. He will be the commander of the army, and the Huns will no longer dare to invade, right?"
Shen Muqing shook his head: "This is not what I am worried about, but the inside of the Youzhou. Right now, Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu's relationship is like fire and water.
Shen Muqing shook his head, looked at Youzhou: "This king can only take things one step at a time. I wonder if it's a blessing or a disaster for me to spend so much effort to protect him?"
Gongsun Zan sat on the high platform with a sword in hand as he looked down at the military arena. Teams of armored riders were dragging dozens of richly dressed people along like they were dragging a dead dog, pressing them down to the ground.
Liu Yu rushed over to see this scene and shouted loudly, "Gongsun Zan, how dare you! This is an aristocrat of Youzhou, do you dare to treat them like this? What exactly is it? "
Killing intent flashed across Gongsun Zan's eyes: "What is it? When the Huns approached, they raised the market price to stock up the food and made the people sell their children to sell their women. They were ten times more vicious than the Huns, so it would not be enough to quell the anger of the people if we didn't kill them. "
Countless citizens outside the military arena were enraged, "Kill them! Kill them! "
Wu Tie pointed at Gongsun Zan and said, "Son!" Are you really not afraid of death? "
Gongsun Zan said coldly: "From this general to Youzhou, I have never thought about living, even if I die, I will kill this group of heartless people!"
After saying this, the citizens revealed mournful expressions and tears could be seen in their eyes. Wu Tie was extremely angry: "Gongsun Zan! I have already sent your crime to the Imperial City. Such a heinous act, no one in the world can save you! "
Gongsun Zan said: "Liu Yu, look at the public opinion, this is the Youzhou of millions of citizens, not the clan's Youzhou! The imperial court foolishly ignored the commoners. I, Gongsun Zan, am willing to plead for my life for the commoners, even if I die with no regrets! "
Liu Yu pointed angrily at Gongsun Zan and said, "This official wants to see how hard your neck is! Someone! "Capture Gongsun Zan, and those who block Gongsun Zan will be punished with the same punishment!"
Immediately, the yamen runners were about to appear, and there were hundreds of armored soldiers blocking their way. "General Gongsun, please give the order for the citizens. We will live and die together with General Gongsun!" We live and die together with General Gongsun! "
The sound of thousands of civilians and soldiers rose up in the military field. Liu Yu's eyes were burning with anger as he said loudly, "Gongsun Zan is offending us, forcibly seizing the military power and slandering the imperial court. Don't tell us that all of you want to go against the rules and exterminate the nine families?"
As soon as his voice fell, the voices of the civilians and soldiers became quieter. Rebellion? This reputation was too big that no one dared to accept it. Liu Yu revealed a proud expression: "Come and take him down!"
The bailiffs charged at Gongsun Zan like wolves and tigers. At this time, a loud and clear chant resounded: "The imperial edict has arrived! Gongsun Zan accepts the decree! "
