Chapter 55 Even the Censor was moved
As soon as Wang's reason for not being hungry came out, Guan Ying was instantly defeated.
What else is there to say?
Can you find a more shameless reason than this?
The word "reward" is used to define this matter. It is unique and not universal.
And this time they will probably use tens of thousands of stones of food?
Then the whole of Xingyang was tied to his chariot.
Even if they are not of the same mind as themselves, even if they still don't want to contribute, at least they don't dare to hold back.
Although not everyone can receive this favor.
But many times, it's not what you want.
People's support is never something that can be obtained by taking every detail. As long as you have the right attitude and do practical things, people's support will naturally come.
In the afternoon of that day, Wang Cheng, the newly appointed Grain Officer, made the news known to the outside world.
Prince Wang Buxu dug out some records about the siege of Xingyang in the governor's mansion, so he decided to reward some people in Xingyang.
The next day, Wang Cheng once again spread the word that this time the rewards would focus on disadvantaged groups.
Who are the vulnerable groups?
It seems that everyone is a vulnerable group, right?
On the third day, Wang Cheng finally released the exact information, including elderly people over forty-five years old and childless, children under ten years old, and people in their families who had died in the war within five years.
In the afternoon of that day, Wang Cheng began to organize the distribution of the first batch of rewards.
Some are happy and some are sad.
On the top of Mang Mountain, in front of a new tomb.
The group of people stood here a little helpless, staring with big eyes.
"What should we do?" Looking at the tombstone written with awesome words, Wang Ming was a little confused, and he almost wanted to cry.
"Pull it away!" Chen Zongzheng thought for a while and said.
"No, the person is dead, and the enemy can still let the enemy erect a tombstone for him. The epitaph has no derogatory meaning. It is the greatest disrespect to the deceased to remove the epitaph." Wang Ming shook his head and refused.
Li Si is in prison now, and the two of them were ordered to come to Xingyang to investigate the case of Li Si and Li You's father and son collaborating with the bandits.
However, after arriving in Xingyang, Xingyang was still surrounded by Zhang Chu's army, so the two of them could not go into the city to find out.
Later, Zhang Chu's army retreated and the city defenses were relaxed, but the city gates were still closed and no entry or exit was allowed.
The two had no choice but to continue to stay outside the city. As a result, Xingyang fell within two days.
And the one who captured Xingyang was Wang Buxu.
Why did Wu Guang and hundreds of thousands of people attack for several months but failed to capture the city, while Wang Buxu captured it in just one day?
There is so much room for maneuver here.
"How can you be sure if Li You really died in the battle without removing it? Don't forget, Wang Buxu defeated Xingyang in just one day. Rumors are everywhere in the court that the prime minister and his son are collaborating with bandits. Wang Buxu
Don't you know what his identity is?" Chen Zongzheng analyzed rationally.
"This..." Wang Ming didn't know how to express it.
Yes, Wang Buxu's identity is Li Youtong's biggest suspicion. As long as Zhao Gao catches this point, he can kill the prime minister and his son.
"Open it!" Chen Zongzheng waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him reluctantly stepped forward to dig the grave.
No one wants to do this kind of immoral thing, as it may cause the resentment of the deceased to attach to themselves.
But there is nothing we can do, not even if we don’t do it. The official level is overwhelming to death...
Soon, Li You's grave was dug up, and a coffin of good quality was opened.
Although he had just been buried not long ago, the weather has turned hot now, and when Li You died, his body was covered with knife wounds, and even his head was chopped off by Wang Buxu.
In this case, the corpse is decomposing almost every minute.
When the coffin was opened, a foul smell came out.
Wang Ming and Chen Zongzheng held their noses and stepped forward to take a look. They couldn't help but shudder.
"If this is a bandit, then who in the world is not a bandit?" Chen Zongzheng couldn't help complaining.
"Yes, there are no less than twenty wounds that can be seen on the body, and even the head was chopped off. How can this be a bandit?" Wang Ming also nodded in agreement.
"Cover it! Let General Li rest in peace!" Chen Zongzheng waved his hand.
They had already confirmed that the person lying in the coffin was indeed Li You, and the death was extremely tragic. This was not someone tortured to death after surrender, but someone who died in real battle.
Although they are not generals, who has not seen the battlefield these days?
Almost everyone is an expert in judging the cause of injuries.
"Censor, there seems to be something here!" The soldiers were about to work together to cover the stone coffin board when a soldier accidentally discovered the picture under the coffin board.
Immediately, the coffin board was turned over, and the picture carved on it suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
There are three pictures in total. One shows Li You wearing armor, standing on the city wall commanding defensive operations. Below is Zhang Chu's army.
The second picture shows Wang Buxu's army opening the city gate at night and the army entering the city.
The third picture shows Li You being surrounded by many short soldiers. There are many corpses lying on the ground. It looks like they are the short soldiers who besieged him. The reason at this time is that one hand is missing and one is broken.
Full of wounds, he only relied on a spear to support his body from falling down, while a young officer was waving the iron sword in his hand, and the iron sword was about to reach the reason's neck.
These three pictures express what Li You did in the last half of his life.
It also allowed the censor to see that Li You did not cooperate with the bandits, but was tricked by Wang Buhang. They had arranged internal responses in advance, so the city was broken sooner or later.
Moreover, Wang Buxu chose the time when Zhang Chu's army had just retreated and Xingyang's defenses were relaxed.
In this situation, let alone Xingyang, even Xianyang may not be able to defend it.
"General Li died fighting hard, but some people always want to impose some crimes on him. If he gets his wish, I will be in trouble for the rest of my life!" Wang Ming said with some sadness and anger.
The group quickly restored Li You's grave to its original state, and there was no point in continuing the investigation.
Everything has come to light and it's time to end this farce!
However, if the king was not hungry here, he would definitely despise these two.
Although these two people are considered righteous people, is what you saw true?
No, what you see is just what I want you to see.
Thousands of years later, people will only see what I want you to see, and who knows what I have hidden?
Shortly after Wang Ming, Chen Zongzheng and others left, a downcast and thin figure appeared on the roadside, and he stopped him while kneeling and crying.
Chapter completed!
