Chapter 1764: Measuring the material resources of Chen State and settling the country’s favor
Hearing Cai Jing's words, Chen Baxian was so angry that he could not speak. He gritted his teeth and said: "Since ancient times, I have only heard of ministers rebelling against the monarch, but I have never heard of the monarch rebelling against the ministers. It is simply ridiculous.
Cai Jing, you and other aristocratic families have ulterior motives. Since you are ready to rebel, why should you turn around and accuse me?
I ask myself that I am not kind to families like yours, but is this how you repay me? "
Upon hearing this, Cai Jing fell silent.
To be honest, Chen Baxian is inherently deficient. If he wants to be king and hegemon, he must get the support of the family, so he is really good to the Chen family.
It was when Chen Baxian became Queen Chen that the Chen family reached its peak, but based on this, the family could not be completely devoted to him.
All the aristocratic families care about is profit, and now that Chen Baxian can't give the family anything more, the Chen Guo aristocratic family will decisively abandon Chen Baxian.
It’s so realistic!
Seeing that Cai Jing stopped talking, Chen Baxian felt even more sad and angry. This time he mistrusted Tong Guan, so that Qing Junzi finally failed. He obviously no longer thought that he could survive.
Chen Baxian also risked his life, glared at everyone and shouted: "Although you all call me your lord, how many of you really think so in your hearts?"
These words are on point. In the eyes of the people of the Aristocratic Family, they and Chen Baxian are only in a cooperative relationship. Naturally, they cannot really treat Chen Baxian as their lord, not to mention that they have never been loyal.
Cai Jing raised his head and said calmly: "Master, please cooperate. As long as you obey our arrangements, you will still be King Chen and our lord."
"cooperate?"
Chen Baxian glared at Cai Jing and roared: "Just to be pushed out by you to take the blame, to be despised by everyone, and then to be infamy for thousands of years?"
"At least you are still alive." Cai Jing said calmly.
Hearing this, Chen Baxian smiled sadly.
Living, just living, what a humble condition.
Chen Baxian never imagined that he would have such a humble day.
rub……
Chen Baxian drew his sword and pointed it at a group of aristocratic families, but he then put it on his neck and roared: "Do you think I, Chen Baxian, am afraid of death?"
Seeing that Chen Baxian was so staunch, and would rather die than surrender to the Qing Dynasty, Cai Jing and others couldn't help but panic. After all, if Chen Baxian died, no one would be able to bear the infamy for them, and they would also have to bear the responsibility of regicide. of infamy.
"Calm down, Lord, calm down." Zhang Bangchang advised in a panic.
"Yes, isn't it good to live? Why ask for death?" Gao Qiu also advised.
"Haha, I was so blind back then that I still had expectations for you. Now it seems that you are hopeless."
Chen Baxian would trust these people from aristocratic families, mainly because they had betrayed their masters three times. As long as they had some brains, they would not show up a fourth time. But now it seems that they were too naive at the beginning.
No matter how much the other party tried to persuade him, Chen Baxian did not put down the sword in his hand. At this moment, he was completely despairing.
With Chen Baxian's super-first-class strength, it was very easy to support him before he died, but there were also super-first-class masters in the Chen family, and they were all present.
With Chen Baxian's strength, it is obvious that he cannot kill so many traitors he hates under the protection of so many troops and experts.
Chen Baxian, who was in despair, was just about to kill himself with his sword when he heard Cai Jing say: "My lord, you are not even afraid of death. Are you still afraid of a little notoriety? Are you still afraid of being infamous for thousands of years?"
Chen Baxian was stunned for a moment.
Yes, he is not someone who cares about reputation.
Besides, after staying under Wang Mang for so long, his reputation is not very good to begin with. Does that mean he still has a greater reputation?
In fact, Chen Baxian had the idea of killing himself, mainly because he was so completely betrayed by the family, all his efforts and planning were in vain, and his self-confidence was greatly affected. In order not to make these betrayers feel better, he decided to kill himself in revenge. other side.
Chen Baxian knew that even if he risked his life to fight back, he would not be able to kill a few of the opponent's people. But if he died, the reputation of these people would be completely ruined. Even the Manchus would definitely have a grudge against him. After all, no one wanted to have one under his command. A white-eyed wolf that will bite back at any time.
And this is the greatest revenge on these aristocratic families!
It has to be said that Chen Baxian is also a ruthless person. In order to take revenge on these traitors who betrayed him, he would even risk his own life.
Seeing that Chen Ba had listened first, Cai Jing immediately said, "My lord, don't you want revenge?"
Chen Baxian frowned and said coldly: "What exactly do you want to say?"
"My lord, you entered the Liao Dynasty alone and worked with the major families, but in the end you were able to unite the major families. Besides being the king of Chen, you are also an outstanding figure of the generation.
But even so, you are still being played around by our family. This must not be a good feeling, right?
Don’t you want to take revenge on our aristocratic families? And only while you are alive can you have a chance for revenge. "
It has to be said that Cai Jing still knows Chen Baxian very well. He knows that Chen Baxian is not afraid of death, so he uses revenge to stimulate him to give up the idea of killing himself.
Don't tell me, Chen Baxian just did this. After taking a deep breath, he returned the sword to its sheath and said coldly: "You will regret it."
After saying that, Chen Baxian sat back on the throne and closed his eyes to rest.
When Cai Jing and others saw this, they all showed relieved smiles. As for Chen Baxian's threat, they didn't care.
In the eyes of Cai Jing and others, Chen Baxian is already a caged bird, doomed to be imprisoned for the rest of his life, and cannot even get out of this palace, so his threat is nothing more than a barking of incompetence.
"My lord is in poor health, you must serve him well."
After saying this, Cai Jing led everyone out of the hall.
At the entrance of the hall, a tall woman wearing a cheongsam looked at Cai Jing and others walking over with a smile and asked, "Has everything been taken care of?"
Cai Jing bowed his hands and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, everything has been dealt with. Chen Baxian is no longer an obstacle to the alliance between the two countries."
"That's good."
After saying that, the woman casually threw a piece of paper to Cai Jing and said with a slight smile: "Just follow the instructions above."
After Cai Jing took it and took a look, his pupils suddenly shrank, and then he ordered in a deep voice: "My lord has a decree. From now on, I, the State of Chen, will form an alliance with the Manchu Qing Dynasty to fight against the Qin army."
"My lord has decreed that I, the State of Chen, will submit my vassalage to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and from now on the Manchu Qing Dynasty will be our suzerainty."
"My lord has a decree. The Qing army is coming to support our country. The troops on the border are not allowed to block it."
"My lord has a decree. The Manchu and Qing troops are guests from afar. Officials and even the people from all over the country must give warm hospitality."
"My lord has a purpose..."
Five consecutive orders, each one was like a big earthquake to Chen Guo.
The cheongsam woman put her hands on her hips, looked at all this with a smile, and said softly: "Measure the material resources of the Chen country, and settle the country's happiness."
