Chapter one hundred and sixty nine
Signing means writing your own name on letters, official documents, and manuscripts. If multiple people sign in an article at the same time, it is a joint signing. King Xiyang (King of King Zhu) Yuwen Wen took out such a thing to let everyone sign, and there is no need to think that this manuscript must be a manifesto.
Documents used for proclamation, conscripts, condemnation, etc., especially documents that denounce the enemy, rebellion or expose crimes, are called manifestos and are signed on them. Once the enemy wins, they will be fine.
King Yuwen of Xiyang, although his prince succeeded to the throne and was also named King Zhu, in fact, everyone knows that such a reward is just a guise, and he must be killed if he should be killed. If Yuwen Wen makes a manifesto, his content will definitely denounce the so-called "crime" of the Yuchi family, especially Yuchi Dun.
This kind of thing is just a skill in writing. Just to decide the outcome, you have to rely on the soldiers in your hands. It’s nothing to sign a name on the manifesto. The key is not to sign the manifesto of the failed party.
The manifesto is to inform the world. If it is signed on it, its name will be widely known. Once the winner is pursued, he will lose his skin even if he does not die.
Yuwen saw that he was going to be finished, so if he could, no one would want to sign the manifesto that Yuwen Wen had to make, but it would definitely not work without signing it now, so everyone pinched their noses and accepted it.
I was brought up old accounts in the future. I can only say that I was forced at that time and my reputation was a little bad. At least I could save my life, right?
The officials of all sizes and big and small in the chamber thought so, but no one dared to say anything. Seeing that there were soldiers preparing for their pens and ink, many people sighed in their hearts and prepared to sign their names honestly.
At this moment, they only hope that the content of the manifesto should not be too much. If it angers Prime Minister Yuchi Dun, everyone will be in trouble if they settle the accounts in the future.
The soldiers brought many rolls of white paper, with words written on it, and the officials present arranged in a sequence, and each column was sent out one at the beginning and end. After reading it, the first person (the last person) and then passed it backwards (the front).
The bone instrument was brought to the back and was not included in the list, so he received special treatment: he could read the piece of paper in his hand casually without passing it on.
He originally wanted to crumple the paper into a ball and throw it away, but accidentally caught the content of looking up, and then was stunned: This was a letter of advice for the Prime Minister and King Yuchi Dun of Shu.
‘The commander of the throne, Huang, Heng, Qi, Luo and other eight states, the general of the Pulau State, the general of Huangzhou, the marshal of the Lingnan Road, and King Wen of Zhu, were sentenced to death, the above table:...'
‘The lower official is warm, and he will be punished by death. The lower official heard that he was born to steam people and tree them to the king, so he went against the world and the earth, and the Mu Li Yuan...’
When Gu Yi looked carefully, the more he felt more and more horrible. King Xiyang (King of Zhu) Yuwen Wen, in his list, advised Prime Minister and King Shu Yuchi Dun to advance, listing the great achievements of Yuchi Jiong and Yuchi Dun and his son who have turned the tide in the past two years of Daxiang.
The deeds listed in it are actually happening. Yuwen Wen even wrote a letter to him as his biological father and a royal family in the Zhou Kingdom, and respectfully invited Yuchi Dun to accept Zen, succeed to the throne, and save the people of the world.
The last sentence made Gu Yi feel goosebumps all over his body: Heaven will not give birth to King Shu, and it will be like the long night forever.
Cold sweat flowed down her cheeks, and sweat dripped on her chin. The officials in the conference hall were sweating coldly. They said that they looked at the verdict and didn't know what to do.
Some people were shaking their hands, while some timid were already trembling with their legs, and they were about to faint.
The content of the writing is very flattering, and the words are very numb, which makes people feel extremely disgusted when they read it. No one thinks that Yuwen Wen will sincerely persuade him. The reason why he made this thing out and asked everyone to sign was to find an excuse to kill someone.
If this persuasion letter was written under the instructions of the King of Shu, everyone would have to rush to sign the name later, because it would be unlucky if they didn't sign it, but now it was written by Yuwen Wen. Whoever dared to sign it would die, and he would have to drag it out on the spot and chop it to death.
Of course, you cannot sign a name, but if the other party makes such an obvious intention, it is probably bad intention. Who knows what medicine is sold in the gourd? If you want to kill someone if you sign or don’t sign it, how can you avoid disaster?
They had never dealt with Yuwen Wen and didn't know what the other party's character was. They just said that if a few of the people present would die tonight, they didn't know if they could be spared.
"Master!"
A roar broke the awkward calmness. Everyone looked up and saw that it was Gu Yi, the chief officer of the General Administration, who was attacking Yuwen Wen.
"Why are you afraid of laughing at the world if you do such a ridiculous thing?"
"Brother? If you don't act like this, how can I let my son come back to me and talk about family matters!" Yuwen Wen started the verbal cannon. Since the ribs have already been put into the pot, he is not polite.
He wanted to see how strong the opponent's verbal skills were.
Gu Yi thought Yuwen Wen would make a quibble, but he never expected that the other party would answer like this. The speech he prepared for a while was useless, and his momentum was instantly suppressed by Yuwen Wen.
"Bone Cao! I ask you, did the King of Shu have made contributions to the country? Say!"
"Did the King of Shu make a contribution to the country? Say!"
"If the Great Zhou Dynasty had not had the strength of the King of Shu and his son, the country would have been usurped by Yang Ni, right?! Say!"
"What kind of virtue is my son? He should sit north and south and be worshipped by civil and military officials? Say!"
Yuwen Wen's lip cannon was activated for 50%, and the Bone Yi was asked about it and was in chaos. Therefore, King Yuchi Jiong of Shu and King Yuchi Dun of Shu did make contributions to the country, or to turn the tide. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a great achievement and is difficult to reward.
But he had no face in public, saying that Yuchi Dun could be accepted as the throne and become emperor, and he would change his dynasty.
Yuwen Wen emphasized that Yuchi's contributions to the country, emphasized that his son was young and ignorant, and disrupted the rhythm of the debate from the beginning. He also said that the Prime Minister worked hard and made great contributions to the government, but he was in a dilemma for slandering villains, so he had to put the overall situation first.
The above comments advised him to advance, first, so that his son could return to his side, and second, he would do the affairs of Yao and Shun, so that the imperial throne would be a virtuous and talented person to avoid the war and the devastation of life due to political struggles.
The nonsense caused Jiyi to breathe rapidly and sweat heavily. Yuwen Wen's sophistry, which was like talking nonsense with his eyes open, was full of flaws everywhere. However, when he wanted to refute, he found that there were so many flaws that he didn't know where to start.
He was very angry in his heart, Gu Yi felt so nervous that he was so nervous that he was so angry that he couldn't get in the mouth. Just as he gathered his strength to fight back, Yuwen Wen turned his mind and looked at the others and asked, "Everyone, do you think what I said just now is right or wrong?"
The officials present were stunned and didn't know whether to nod or shake their heads. The debate rhythm that Gu Yi finally sorted out was interrupted again. Just as he was brewing again, Yuwen Wen took out a volume of documents.
"Everyone, this is the form of advice written by me personally. If you have no doubt, just sign it on it."
After Yuwen Wen finished speaking, he looked at Gu Yi and showed a kind smile: "Job Cao Ke..."
Just as Gu Yi was about to refuse, Yuwen Wen looked elsewhere: "The boss of Gu Cao acts differently than ordinary people, so he naturally does not sign it. People who even steal official seals are not reasonable..."
"King! The official seal is hung in a big tree in the backyard..." Gu Yi blurted out, and only then did he realize that he was speechless after speaking. It was too late. He fell into Yuwen Wen's trap and told the whereabouts of the official seal.
Yuwen Wen looked at Gu Yi and felt a little excited. The conversation was just a warm-up stage. This person was a little straightforward, and he had little knowledge and lacked experience, so the debate was like a "belt".
