"The royal family...has a royal way of dying."
A calm and extremely cold voice swirled in Dongfang Jie's ears.
"I captured Jingzhou and destroyed the State of Chen... The State of Qin is safe and sound... King Chen, do you understand what I say?"
"Brother Five Emperors..."
this moment! It was especially quiet inside the prison, so quiet that it was as if a pin had dropped and you could hear it clearly.
And Dongfang Jie's body seemed to be electrocuted.
"hehe!"
Dongfang Jie laughed at himself.
Then he slowly raised his hands in front of his eyes.
yes!
He is Prince Dawu, a member of the royal family, and the blood of the royal family flows in his body.
How could the king of a country become a prisoner of his subordinates!
this moment! He seemed to have understood deeply, and his heart seemed to be relieved.
"Yes, you are right. Kings die in their own way, and Gu... is no exception."
"Mother! Stop begging..."
At this time, Dongfang Jie felt a sense of loneliness and loneliness.
"Your Majesty..." Lin wanted to speak, but found that the latter had already decided to leave.
"Sixth brother, this may be the last time I call you."
"This world! In the end, it needs capable people to live in it. I, Dongfang Jie, am not ambitious enough, have no great ambitions, and have no great talents, so I cannot win the world. But you are different. Everyone says that your talents and abilities are I, the great ancestor of the Martial Kingdom, also avoided it."
"Is it most suitable for you to be the co-ruler of the world? As long as...the world is still in the hands of Dongfang." Dongfang Jie felt extremely sad.
"It's time for me to hit the road, please give me a sword!" Dongfang Jie's final choice was to commit suicide.
Even Dongfang Yu didn't expect that Dongfang Jie would be able to make such a decision until his death.
"Come here and give me a sword!"
The system of granting death is a unique system in ancient Chinese monarchical autocratic society. People with special status (nobles, ministers, slaves or concubines, etc.) are given poisonous wine, swords, silk ribbons, ropes and other things, and they are allowed to kill themselves. its system of imposing the death penalty.
The system of granting death is a manifestation of the monarchy's autocratic power. The monarch uses granting death as a tool to establish his absolute authority and supreme status and consolidate his power.
And for people of the royal family, they also have the highest respect before death.
As for the Lin family, Dongfang Yu directly gave him the silk.
Dying people, it seems! In one fell swoop, I could see my whole life clearly.
"Sixth brother, there is one last thing I have to do for you." Dongfang Jie said.
Hey, this guy doesn't want to die!
"Brother, please speak!" Dongfang Yu also said unhurriedly.
"There are many famous people in Jingzhou, and talented people are blooming everywhere. I only hate that my brother was pedantic during his lifetime, so he didn't know people. The person I am holding in the prison in front is Cai E, a famous person from Jingzhou."
"This person has outstanding talents and governance abilities, which are rare in the world. You may be able to reuse this person, or he may be a great help to you in governing the world in the future." Dongfang Jie said.
Um!
Dongfang Yu was slightly moved, "I will."
Cai E, on the other hand, was stunned for a while.
Suddenly!
Dongfang Jie's expression seemed to be much more relaxed, and he wiped the sharp sword in his hand without hesitation.
in vain! He just fell to the ground and lost his breath.
And Mrs. Lin, seeing her son so determined to kill himself, naturally decided to hang himself. As for the other family members of King Chen, they were not as lucky.
They were all given poisonous wine and lost their lives.
"Your Majesty, what should we do with the two bodies?" Xuan Ziyuan asked.
well!
Dongfang Yu let out a long sigh and said: "After all, he is a king, and the king's mother was buried outside Jingzhou according to the king's etiquette."
"As for the other family members of King Chen, let them be buried next to King Chen's tomb!"
"promise…"
Dongfang Yu is not sentimental, after all! The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. If he is defeated today, he will naturally not be able to escape the fate of life and death!
Suddenly! Dongfang Yu looked at Cai E who was standing aside.
He asked all the ministers in Jingzhou one by one. Who has the greatest talent in Jingzhou? There are only a few people mentioned in each minister's mouth.
Originally, all matters in Jingzhou, big and small, were decided by Bing Zheng and then submitted to Dongfang Jie. But now, Bing Zheng is dead, or he was killed by a bomb. But he discovered that there was someone even more talented than Bing Zheng.
That is Cai E. Cai E is considered a figure of the older generation, five or six years older than the general. Before King Chen came to Jingzhou, he served in Jingzhou Mansion. All the large and small affairs in Jingzhou were taken care of in an orderly manner by his hands.
Especially the Jingzhou navy, which is as powerful as the Jinling navy, is probably closely related to Cai E, to be precise! This Cai E is not only a master in handling political affairs, but also has great attainments in military training.
There are not many such all-round talents.
Back then, Dongfang Jie tried a lot to invite this old guy to come out, but he didn't succeed. The most pity is that this old guy is a stubborn old man after all, but he is a die-hard loyal to the Wu Dynasty.
Dongfang Jie put a lot of effort into gold, silver, jewelry, beauties, etc., but Cai E just doesn't get involved! As a result, in a fit of anger, Dongfang Jie was thrown into the dungeon.
But having said that, after all, Cai E had been in the officialdom for so many years, he was like a fish in water. Knowing that Dongfang Jie would get angry and attack him, he sent someone to move his family in advance.
As a result, Dongfang Jie missed the point, there was nothing he could do! Cai E could only be forced into the dungeon and kept locked there. But fortunately, Dongfang Jie still cherishes talents and has kept Cai E alive.
"Cai E, you heard me! Before King Chen died, he recommended you to Gu Gu!" Dongfang Yu is really afraid of this old guy. He has been imprisoned for three or four years and he still can't get in?
actually! At this time, Cai E's heart was already moved. After being imprisoned in the dungeon for so many years, his stubborn character had changed a lot.
"well!"
Cai E's face seemed to be extremely weathered, "If King Qin has something to say... just say it, right?"
Bang bang!
Dongfang Yu clapped his hands, and the crisp sound spread throughout the dungeon.
Then, at the dungeon door, several figures came in again.
These people are none other than Cai E's family, his son Cai Deng, and his grandchildren: Cai Wen and Cai Wu.
In the past few years, especially when Cai E was imprisoned by Dongfang Jie, there were also rumors that Cai E was dead. Therefore! The whole family naturally believed it to be true.
But I didn't expect that their family would be reunited today.
Looking at those familiar figures, Cai E's dry eyes immediately became moist.
Like the rest of the Cai family, I am still a little worried after no news for a long time.
"Cai E, Gu Ren has found all your family members. How much effort did it take to find your Cai family?" Dongfang Yu said.
