Marquis Weining, Jiao Wu's declaration was fierce and loyal.
Once these words were spoken, the entire Reef Kingdom would view him as their enemy. Because he had the intention to destroy the Reef Kingdom!
Xue Mingyi did not continue to be aggressive. Instead, he loosened his grip and stepped to the side. "This is my birthday gift. Elder Jiao, feel free to ask!"
Jiang Wang then understood that Xue Mingyi's visit was only to beat down Han Xu's will and not to force Jiao Wu to rebel.
There were two possibilities for this beating.
Perhaps Jiao Wu was truly moved by the Reef Kingdom's suggestion. If Yong was destroyed, he, Marquis Weining, could gather his army and cut off a few pieces of fat meat to become the King of the Reef Kingdom.
But it could also be … because of Mo Jingyu.
The benefits of Han Xu bringing Mohism into the fold were obvious. Yong's rapid stabilization of the situation and the reform of the court were proof. But the hidden dangers were also slowly emerging. To put it bluntly, whether Yong came before Mohism or Mohism came before Yong, this was a long-term struggle.
If it were before, he might not have been able to think so clearly.
But after experiencing so much and seeing so much, he could slowly understand what he couldn't understand before.
He thought of Mo Jingyu in his heart, but he never looked at Mo Jingyu on the surface.
Jiang Wang concealed himself well. At the same time, he thought about how everything he saw and heard today would affect his plan and how it could help him.
Jiao Wu stood in front of the middle-aged scholar and looked at him. "Who are you? What is your name? What is your current position? Who ordered you to come to Shun 'an Prefecture? What is your purpose? "
The middle-aged scholar was tortured to the point of being at his last gasp. His entire body weight rested on the hands of the soldiers holding him down.
But at this moment, he suddenly raised his head with an unknown strength!
He looked directly at Jiao Wu, using his bloodstained eyes to stare fiercely at Jiao Wu.
"Bah!" He spat out a mouthful of saliva.
The saliva and blood fell as soon as it left his mouth, landing weakly on his own clothes.
He was still far away from Jiao Wu.
Jiao Wu was expressionless as he watched him struggle.
Like a towering tree, he stared at something that wanted to shake it.
Two soldiers held the middle-aged scholar firmly. He could not move much, and his voice was hoarse.
"Jiao Wu!"
But he had already used all his strength to roar and curse, "After the renegade, there will still be renegades!"
His chest rose and fell violently, as if he was blowing wind. That was a clear proof that he could only squeeze out a little bit of power by doing everything he could.
"The Jiao Family has been blessed by the Emperor and has been a minister for generations. Your father was a general of the Reef Nation, in charge of the Reef Nation's soldiers, yet he killed the people of the Reef Nation and defeated the enemies of the Reef Nation! Betraying one's master for glory, truly dishonorable, betraying one's country and betraying one's righteousness, in vain! As for you, you have the blood of the Reef Nation flowing in your veins, and you have the ancestors of the Reef Nation, yet you forget your ancestors and talk nonsense about the destruction of the Reef Nation. Do you really think the heavens have no eyes and there is no retribution!? "
That person cursed with a hoarse voice. His appearance was like that of an evil spirit, and his appearance was extremely mournful.
As a spy, loyalty was the most important thing. The middle-aged scholar's loyalty to the Reef Country was unquestionable. He was cursing to his heart's content for two reasons. Firstly, he wanted to die. Secondly, he wanted to tarnish the Jiao family's name.
Mo Jingyu from the Mo Clan and Xue Mingyi from the Martial Arts Marquis were present.
Marquis Weining Jiao Wu was still expressionless. He only said slowly, "In today's era of great strife, the world competes. The monarch chooses his subjects, and the subjects choose their monarch. "
His voice was not loud, but everyone present could hear him clearly.
"You say that the Jiao family is indebted to the Reef Nation's monarch. Don't you remember who my grandfather and great grandfather died for?"
"My father was a general of the Reef Nation. When did he fail in his duty? Back then, he commanded the Reef Nation's army and fought against the Ming Emperor. At one point, he invaded the Yong Territory! Who was it that was afraid of a meritorious official, and the army provisions did not arrive for three days? Who was it that cowered at the last moment, causing the army to collapse? Who was it that refused to provide assistance, causing my father to be trapped in an isolated city? "
"I don't need to say these things. I have already forgotten. But history is like iron. Can you forget? Those brave souls who died innocently, can you forget? "
"My Jiao family only remembers who was it that let bygones be bygones. Who was it that gave him a high position, a generous salary, sincerity, and trust in the army? Who was it that entered my father's isolated city alone after he was surrounded for three months, and offered his heart to surrender? "
"When my father died, he was a Yong official. When I die, I should be the same!"
"Since you won't say who you are, I don't want to know. I only have one thing to say to you. The Shi family does not deserve to rule the country. Today, you dared to sow discord. Wait for Shi Heng on the road to the Yellow Springs! "
This was an oath to destroy the country. From now on, he and the Reef Nation would be irreconcilable. In his future political career, he would spare no effort to push for the destruction of the Reef Nation.
At this point, Jiao Wu flicked his sleeves and returned to his seat.
He looked around and raised his hands. "Sing again, dance again. The birthday banquet continues. As for the Marquis of Wugong … please do as you please! "
At this point, Marquis Jiao Wu's attitude was very clear.
The Marquis of Wugong did this at his birthday banquet.
He was extremely angry, furious, and hateful.
He did not hesitate to push for the destruction of the Reef Nation to prove that he had no collusion with the Reef Nation. It was just a one-sided conspiracy of the Reef Nation.
As for what the Marquis of Wugong would say when he returned and what Han Xu would do, as he said, "Please do as you please!"
As he said, "In today's era of great strife, the world competes. The monarch chooses his subjects, and the subjects also choose their monarch. " He was talking about his father and the Shi family of the Reef Nation. How could it not be him and Han Xu?
If Han Xu believed him, he would be used by him. If Han Xu did not believe him, he would join another sect.
"This treacherous thief, slandering the loyal and upright, truly angering this marquis, and chilling the hearts of the spectators!"
Xue Mingyi reached out and grabbed the middle-aged scholar's hair. With a gentle lift, the entire head was lifted up. Not a single drop of blood spilled out. The headless corpse was still being carried by the armored soldiers and propped up there.
He respectfully held the head with both hands and said to Jiao Wu, "With this thief's head, I congratulate the Marquis of Wugong Jiao Wu!"
Jiang Wang's heart gave birth to a kind of understanding.
At this moment, he could see some of the truth.
This matter should be over just like that …
The Reef Nation's scholar was naturally a loyal and patriotic person, but Jiao Wu's father, who he scolded, was definitely not a treacherous person. The real world was not black or white. Many times, there was no right or wrong, only a standpoint.
And the conversation between Jiao Wu and the Reef Nation's scholar just now showed that Emperor Yong Ming was of course a wise ruler. At that time, the Reef Lord was naturally muddle-headed. Jiao Wu's father, perhaps, was a true loyal subject.
But Jiao Wu might not be …
As Jiao Wu said, the Jiao Family remembered, was grateful, and was loyal to the Yong Lord. But that Yong Lord should be Emperor Yong Ming. Since the Jiao Family had always remembered this kindness, when Han Xu usurped the throne and massacred Han Zhou's bloodline, where was the Jiao Family?
Many things could not be explained clearly, and if the veil was pulled off rashly, it would be shocking.
But this was not important.
What Xue Mingyi, or perhaps Han Xu behind him, wanted was Jiao Wu's public declaration today. Whether it was to pacify the people or to warn some people within the Mohist Sect, Han Xu's goal should have been achieved.
If nothing unexpected happened, during this period of time, one duke and eight marquises of Yong would successively declare their positions in various ways to consolidate Han Xu's power and position. The entire Yong Kingdom would have a unified voice.
They kept talking about new policies, new policies, but what exactly was Han Xu's real big move?
Jiang Wang realized that he seemed to have witnessed a certain historical moment in Yong Kingdom by chance.
But the vast majority of people living in this historical moment were ignorant and ignorant.
At the center of everyone's attention, Jiao Wu, who sat alone in the main seat, waved his hand and very casually said, "Pack up this birthday gift and send it to the Reef Realm with me."
