Liu Cheng walked into the private room while sizing up the two of them.
He walked to the main seat and knelt down, stretched out his hand and pressed down: "Please sit down, both of you.
To be honest, this banquet was organized by this general, and Not Wang Kuang” Wu Kuang and Zhang Zhang looked at each other, with deep worries and doubts in their eyes.
After the two knelt down again, Wu Kuang clasped his fists and asked, "I don't know what the general has to do with me in the name of Mr.
Wang."
Liu Cheng found it quite funny to see these two people frightened and cautious.
He thought about how majestic and domineering these two people were when they led troops into the palace with Yuan Shao and others under the leadership of Wang Kuang.
Did they know at that time?
He understood the word "fear" very well.
These two people were only inspired by Wang Kuang and Yuan Shao.
Already, following Wang Kuang, Yuan Shao and others to lead troops into the palace was largely just blind obedience.
In addition, the young man was very energetic.
When Wang Kuang, Yuan Shao and others said a few righteous words, his head immediately became hot and he held a knife.
Led the troops and rushed into the palace.
Looking at the appearance of these two people now, they don't have the courage and courage they had back then.
Liu Cheng poured a glass of wine, drank it in one gulp, looked at the two of them and asked: "You two have received the imperial edict to go to Xuzhou and Shangcai respectively, and Wang Kuang has also received the edict to be appointed as the prefect of Hanoi. , this is all arranged by Dong Zhuo for the three of you, right?
We will discuss matters in Chengming Hall this morning.
I will The army is also present.
Regarding the appointment of the three of you, many people among the three ministers and nine ministers are opposed to it.
Just because you led the troops into the palace, and why you went in to avenge and kill He Miao, Just because you made peace with Dong Zhuo, many people disagreed with these appointments, no matter what you have For whatever reason, your actions are illegal and despised by everyone in the world.
No one objects to you eradicating the eunuchs, but you led troops into the palace and killed almost all living creatures inside and outside the palace, causing the emperor and the queen mother to be Zhang was kidnapped and fled.
This crime must be investigated and you punished.
The nine clans are all considered light.
It is useless for others to object to your appointment, because Dong Zhuo is strong enough.
But as long as this general opposes these appointments, these appointments will not pass.
Dong Zhuo has nothing to do with this general, but This general did not object, and you know why."
Wu Kuang and Zhang Zhang both had beads of sweat on their foreheads.
Zhang Zhang felt his throat was dry, swallowed involuntarily, and asked: "I don't know, please ask the general to clarify."
"You are reckless, but you have a loyal heart; you are young, but your body is full of passion.
This is why I have no objection.
The court needs people like you who are loyal.
Eunuchs mess up the government and bring harm to the world, and everyone can win.
As for the punishment, it is true that your intentions were good, but you were deceived and manipulated by others, and your loyalty was misdirected, thus committing a heinous crime."
"I, the general, originally thought that as long as you did not oppose Dong Zhuo's proposal, you could take office safely, but I, the general, were wrong.
You did what you did impulsively at that time, but you did not expect the consequences.
The former chariot and cavalry general He Miao He was the Queen Mother's biological brother.
You killed him, and you led troops into the palace and forced the Queen Mother and the Emperor to be kidnapped and fled by the eunuchs.
Do you think the Emperor and the Queen Mother didn't have any thoughts in their hearts?"
Although they had thought of this possibility for a long time, even though they had had this premonition for a long time, and they had thought about what they would do if they got to this point, they had always been lucky.
Now that this moment has really come, they are still unavoidable.
Get scared.
Wu Kuang asked with difficulty: "The Queen Mother wants to kill us, and the general is the one who is ordered to execute it."
Liu Cheng sighed: "You are right, but that is not all.
Now not only the Queen Mother wants to kill you, but Dong Zhuo also wants to kill you.
Do you think that Dong Zhuo will let you leave Luoyang City to take office so easily?
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
How fanciful are you?
How many secrets are hidden in your collusion with him?
What is the possibility of regaining control of the Xiyuan Army?
Do you think Dong Zhuo will not consider this?
This general has received the news.
Dong Zhuo has arranged troops on the traffic arteries around Luoyang City to intercept and kill you.
Therefore, you will definitely die. , no one can save you, and Wang Kuang will not escape death."
Zhang Zhang's face turned pale, "Since Dong Zhuo wants to kill us, why bother recommending us to take up posts in other places?"
Wu Kuang answered on behalf of Liu Cheng: "This is just for outsiders to see, to show how benevolent and righteous he is to those who cooperate with him and to serve him, and to win people's hearts."
Having said this, Wu Kuang looked at Liu Cheng: "General, since you have been ordered to kill us, please do it."
Liu Cheng put down his wine bottle and said calmly: "If I want to kill you, why do you need to do it yourself?
You think that it will be settled if you die.
You have committed a serious crime against the nine tribes.
I think you are still loyal and loyal.
I will show you a way.
You can go back."
Go home and write a letter of repentance, and then take your own life, so that I, the general, can still intercede in front of the Queen Mother and not harm you.
Our families, otherwise, none of you will be spared.
Whether you write a letter of repentance and end it on your own, or I will order someone to kill all of you, it is up to you to choose.
I will not force you, but tomorrow If I, the general, have not received the news of your suicide before Mao Shi, you will naturally know the consequences and you can leave."
The two of them were confused at this time.
They stood up and walked out stupidly.
As soon as they reached the door, Wu Kuang turned around and asked: "Wang Kuang, what will you do to him?
Why didn't he come?"
Liu Cheng, who had just picked up the jug, stopped, looked up and said: "He is one of the masterminds of the mutiny and the mastermind of He Miao's murder, and you are just the executors.
His fate will be a hundred times worse than yours.
The reason why he did not come is because the general did not think it was necessary to invite him to come.
The end of him and his family has been doomed."
"I understand.
Thank you General for showing me a clear path.
After I die, I will ask the General to mediate in front of the Queen Mother and let my family go.
In return, I will leave my confidants in the Xiyuan Army to the General. drive" After Wu Kuang finished speaking, he tore off a piece of clothing, bit off his fingers and wrote a few names and military positions on it, put it on the ground and turned around to leave.
Zhang Zhang also repeated what Wu Kuang had just done, "Please general" After a while, Wang Shuang walked in and clasped his fists: "General, I have already sent the things over."
Liu Cheng thought for a while and ordered: "You saw Wang Kuang and Zhang Zhang when you came in?
Send someone to keep an eye on them.
They are not allowed to contact Wang Kuang again before tonight.
If news of their death comes to their homes, they must be Send someone to sneak in to check whether he is really dead or pretending to be dead."
"clear" Less than half an hour after Liu Cheng returned to General You's Mansion, Wang Shuang sent someone to report that Wu Kuang and Zhang Zhang committed suicide at home.
They were both hanged.
People who sneaked in saw the corpses and After receiving the news, the government sent people to check the cause of death and found the confession written by them before they died
