MTL - Wei and Jin Cooks-Chapter 802 persuade

  Looking at Zhou Chang's corpse, the emperor felt very uncomfortable. He said in a low voice, "Find a way to get him a coffin, and bury him properly."

  These captives are all under custody, and they can walk around within the range, but they are not allowed beyond the range.

   For those who have died and still have money, perhaps their family members can bribe the Huns to help put together a coffin, or else roll it up with a mat and throw it in a mass grave.

  Here, there are no so-called nobles and aristocratic families, all are captives with no dignity at all.

   Zhou Chang had no family members, and his servants had been captured as slaves in the army as early as when they were captured, and it was unknown whether they were dead or alive.

   And when they were captured, all their money was looted, and most of them had no money left, so even if they used to have tens of millions of money for a coffin, they had to get it together at this time.

  Everyone gathered together, and Zhao Zhongyu also donated a piece of jade, which is one of the few things on his body.

When    and others took the money they collected and went to the Huns to help buy the coffin, there were only two masters and servants left in the hall.

   Zhao Zhongyu asked the emperor, "Is Your Majesty still unwilling to die?"

  The emperor didn't speak.

   Zhao Zhongyu wept and said: "Your Majesty will not die, so I can only accompany you. Just watching His Majesty suffer humiliation, my heart is cut like a knife, I'm afraid I won't live long."

  Zhao Zhongyu persuaded: "You should die early, at least with more dignity."

  Emperor said: "Where does a subjugated king get his dignity?"

  He said: "Shang Shuling, I... I want to see how my Great Jin will fare, and Governor Zhao will come to rescue me, right?"

  He looked at Zhao Zhongyu eagerly and said, "Even if it's not for Zhen, she will come for Aiqing, right?"

  Zhao Zhongyu said: "Your Majesty, no king who has ever been captured can go back alive and inherit the throne. The clan still has King Wu..."

   "King Wu is dead," said the emperor, "Liu Cong told me that he died at the hands of rebels when the city of Yuncheng was broken. Twenty-eight members of the clan were killed. I read the list."

   It's just that he was sad and worried about the subjugation of the country, so he didn't take this matter to heart.

  Zhao Zhongyu was taken aback, and asked, "What about King Yuzhang, King Qin, and King Xindu?"

  Different from Zhao Hanzhang, Zhao Zhongyu is very familiar with the clan's children. There is no way, the people of the Sima family are too capable to die, and they have to always prepare for the next emperor.

  So how many children there are in the clan, how close they are by blood, and their behavior must be understood.

  When the city of Yuncheng was broken, the crown prince also died. Zhao Zhongyu calculated carefully, and now the only ones left in the lineage of Emperor Wu of Jin are Yuzhang, Qin and Xindu.

  King Yuzhang is the younger brother of the prince, and also the son of King Kang of Qinghe. Oh, the emperor has no sons, and the prince is adopted.

   It was still two years ago that someone had the idea of ​​Zhao Hanzhang entering the palace to be the queen. Not long after that, the emperor and the queen adopted King Kang's son Sima Quan as the prince.

  He is only ten years old this year.

   King Yuzhang was even younger, nine years old this year, and Zhao Zhongyu looked at the emperor eagerly.

  Emperor said: "He is not on the list, King Qin and King Xindu are also missing, nowhere to be seen."

  Zhao Zhongyu breathed a sigh of relief. King Qin and King Xindu are both sons of King Wu, but he adopted a son to King Qin in his early years, so he inherited King Qin at a young age.

   At that time, he had many sons, and King Wu didn't care to give one or two sons, anyway, they were all from the blood of the Sima family, and his son could get one of the titles of the Sima family for nothing, which is great.

   But now, after several wars, there are only two sons left, oh no, there is only one Xindu king in name.

  The king of Qin is also young, two months younger than the prince, also ten years old, and the king of Xindu is even younger, is he seven or eight years old?

  Zhao Zhongyu couldn't remember his birthday.

   At such an age, I don’t know if they can survive in the troubled times, and if they survive, can they find someone? If Yuzhou gets a clan son, they should support a new emperor, right?

  Both Gou Xi and Gou Chun were arrested by Shi Le, and now no one in Jin State can surpass Zhao Hanzhang, the new emperor she established should be able to convince everyone.

  So the existence of Emperor Jin is not beneficial to Yuzhou and Da Jin. Being a captive emperor in the enemy camp, what use is there other than being used by the enemy to threaten Da Jin?

  If it was before, Zhao Zhongyu would not have advised the emperor so directly, he would have to be skillful in admonishing, since the emperor is his boss, so he had to coax a little.

But now, they are all prisoners and captives. Zhao Zhongyu said bluntly: "Your Majesty, they will establish a new emperor and new ministers. At that time, the old emperors and old ministers like me will have no choice but to rely on the enemy. It's a dead end."

   "Early death and late death are death, why bother to be humiliated again, and die after adding a fortune to the history books?"

  Emperor Jin opened his mouth and wanted to speak several times, but couldn't.

  Zhao Zhongyu seemed to know what he was thinking, and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty is thinking that if the three young princes have accidents, Jin will perish with you?"

  Emperor Jin sighed and nodded.

"Your Majesty wants to protect himself as the king of subjugation, but he forgot that the Sima family once killed the emperor in the street. They broke the rules first, and the Huns don't know etiquette and are ambitious. How can they respect the etiquette of our Chinese people?" Zhao Zhongyu urged: "Rather than die in humiliation at that time, it is better to commit suicide as soon as possible."

If Emperor Jin was a weak person, he might have been persuaded by Zhao Zhongyu, but he was not. He still had a glimmer of hope in his heart. Moreover, even if he wanted to die, he couldn't do it himself, let Zhao Zhongyu do it, He is not happy.

   Even if you can’t do anything, let’s live first.

  When Zhao Zhongyu saw it, he couldn't help feeling even more sad. In fact, if Emperor Jin had the possibility to survive, he would still try his best to protect him.

  He is a minister, and he should be the king.

   But no matter what he thinks, it is impossible for the Huns to follow the Chinese etiquette to keep the Jin Emperor alive. After today's events, Zhao Zhongyu became more and more sure.

  The subjugated king should be treated kindly.

  Since the Xia and Shang Dynasties, the Huaxia people have had this tradition. When the country changes, it is necessary to treat the emperor and the bereaved family of the previous dynasty well. This is a tradition of two thousand years.

  Inherited for two thousand years, an accident occurred at Sima's house.

  The Sima family stole power and dared to kill the emperor in the street. Even if Zhao Zhongyu was loyal to the state of Jin, he would have to cast aside it in his heart.

  Emperor Wei Wendi replaced the Han Dynasty is justified, regardless of whether Emperor Han Xian was forced to abdicate, anyway, he opened his mouth to abdicate the throne to Emperor Wei Wen.

  And Emperor Wen took the throne after three resignations.

After Han Xiandi retired, Wei Wendi also treated him preferentially, so that he lived for another fourteen years and died. Oh, one more thing, Wei Wendi died earlier than Han Xiandi, and in the end it was Wendi's son Mingdi who sent Han Xiandi away. After a person died, he took his officials to cry and sacrifice, and the funeral and sacrifice were all in accordance with the emperor's specifications.

And before the Sima family took over the throne from Emperor Wei Yuan, there was another Emperor Wei whose traces had been erased. For more than sixty years, no one dared to mention that this emperor was killed in the street and deposed as a commoner. , the emperor who deprived him of the title of emperor, but among the aristocratic family, who doesn't know this emperor?

  The Sima family has conquered the world for more than 50 years, but they can't convince the people. Isn't it because they broke their alliances and promises, and tried to usurp the throne?

  Now, the Jin emperor actually wants to use the etiquette tradition destroyed by them to protect himself, and the target is the Xiongnu. How ridiculous?

  Reader: Good meeting aup

  Zhao Zhongyu: I am wronged, I am a loyal minister
