Chapter 292 No posthumous title
The life potential that Zu Ti exploded before his death was astonishing. His hands were as hard and tight as iron hoops. Gradually, Zu Yue felt like he couldn't control himself. He could clearly see that his wrists were being
Part by part, he opened it to both sides, and he was about to remove Zu Ti's lips! In desperation, Zu Yue was so angry that he quickly withdrew his hand and pinched Zu Ti's throat!
"Hmm!" Zu Ti couldn't help but straightened up and groaned again! He wanted to pull away the wrist holding his throat. However, the sudden isolation of the air caused him to lose the backing of the power he used to burn the last bit of potential in his life.
His strength receded as quickly as water, and his arm was only raised halfway before hanging down softly.
It is said that before a person dies, he will make a panoramic review of his life. At this time, scenes are flashing rapidly in the depths of Zu Ti's memory. Many of them have been blurred or not at all since he was ignorant when he was a child.
Past events that I couldn't even remember came to my mind as vividly as if they had just happened.
The remaining consciousness told him that his life was about to come to an end. Suddenly, the screen flipped to the moment of crossing the Yangtze River and the Northern Expedition, and the oath made in front of the roaring river echoed repeatedly: "Zu Ti cannot clear the Central Plains and recover."
A merciful person is like a big river!" At the same time, faces that could be called by name or nameless one after another.
They emerged one after another in front of their eyes. This is an elite division that has accompanied them all the way and has been fighting against Jiehu for several years. However, their fate is foreseeable. They will be used by the division masters to rebel and carry the traitors on their backs.
Their names are firmly nailed to the pillar of shame in history! But I have really tried my best and have no power to save them anymore.
Unable to help himself, a sharp pain surged out of his heart. Although Zu Ti was still staring straight at his frantic brother, the sharp glare in his eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by deep regret and unwillingness.
, two drops of turbid tears can’t help but
The tears slowly slid down his cheeks. This old man in his 60s, who had never shed a tear in his life, shed his tears before his death for the people who followed him, for his wrong decisions, and for his unfulfilled ambitions.
The first tear. And the last time!
Zu Yue was completely unaware of this scene. He was like a madman and strangled Zu Ti's throat with all his strength! His wrists were knotted with veins. His eyes were bloodshot and red, and his throat was growling in a low voice.
Roaring, his whole body was shaking violently, and there was only one voice echoing in his mind: "You must not let your brother speak, otherwise your life will be over!"
The time may have been short, but Zu Yue felt that it was very long, and every breath was unbearably long. He did not dare to look at Zu Ti, and stared down at his hands. He didn't know how long it had passed, maybe he was using too much force.
Too much, Zu Yue felt his wrists were a little sore and numb,
Subconsciously, he let go slightly, but suddenly he remembered that he couldn't let his brother speak! He immediately pinched his fingers again. He glanced at Zu Ti with fear, and saw that Zu Ti was no longer moving, but his eyes were still staring.
I have two lines of tears hanging on my cheeks!
Suddenly, all the strength in Zu Yue's body was released, and he fell to the ground with a plop. He couldn't help but retract his palm and looked at it repeatedly: "I actually strangled my brother to death. How is that possible? No! He died of illness, not by strangulation."
of!'
'Zu Yue, it's you! Your brother obviously died in your hands, you are a traitor to Brother Shi!'
The two voices were intertwined endlessly, fighting for each other. Zu Yue covered his ears tightly with both hands and shook his head as if it would explode at any time. His face also became dim and blinding, ferocious and terrifying. Suddenly
, a third voice came out again: "Zu Yue, your brother's life is not long, don't you
You just sent him on his way as soon as possible. His death had nothing to do with you! He died because of the master's conspiracy. In the future, you can just kill the master to avenge him! Now that you are the governor of Yuzhou, you should recruit all the generals as soon as possible.
Come and pay homage to your brother’s body, and then apply to the court for a seal of approval. Don’t delay, otherwise things will change if you are too late!”
"Yes, I didn't kill my brother! He was killed by the master!" Zu Yue suddenly understood and felt a big stone put down in his heart. His whole body relaxed. He quickly got up, his face quickly covered with anger.
Feeling sad, he leaned down again and smoothed Zuti's eyelids to make his expression as gentle as possible. He looked left and right and found no flaws. He immediately cried loudly: "Someone, come quickly, calm down."
General Xi passed away..."
News of Zu Ti's death spread quickly. The people of Yuzhou would weep endlessly if they were bereaved. For them, Zu Ti was both heaven and their parents! The army obeyed Zu Ti's orders and followed Zu Ti as their lord.
He got his wish and sat on the throne of Yuzhou governor.
It has been the fifth day since Zu Ti's death. These days, Yunfeng and his family have been living in Xunsong's house, making the old man seem several years younger and full of vitality. Yunfeng is also very
Enjoy this atmosphere, the only regret is that the day of desolation comes
His head was broken, there was nothing he could do about it, the screams of the women were getting louder than the last, and they always had to worry about other people's feelings? And Song Yu seemed to have also fallen, and was very obsessed with the big couch where Zhuge Fei, his master and servant, always stayed.
She refused to get up, and Zhang Lingyun had to go over and drag her up before she would practice the exercises.
At noon that day, Yunfeng and a group of women were enjoying the rare sunshine in the garden, when Xun Song hurriedly walked in.
Xun Guanniang couldn't help but ask: "Ah Weng, why did it take you so long to go to the Chancellor today? Don't you always go around and come back every day? Could it be that... the court is planning to send a message to Wang Dun?"
Xun Song shook his head and said: "That's not the case. The armies scheduled to rebel are not fully prepared, especially since Tao Kan is in a remote area in South Vietnam. According to the itinerary, we can only go as far as the junction of Hunan and Guangzhou at the moment. It will take some time to attack Wuchang.
Instead, the court received an obituary from Zu Yue, saying that Zu Ti, the general of Zhenxi, died of a sudden illness five days ago. Please ask the court to posthumously grant him a posthumous title, and ask him to be appointed the governor of Yuzhou and add a military title."
"What?" Xun Guanniang couldn't help asking, she couldn't believe her ears. If Zu Ti died in defeat at the hands of Shi Le, it would be normal, but his death from illness was unbelievable!
Yunfeng also looked at Xun Song in surprise. Although he and Zu Ti had never met, he admired Zu Ti's character. The story of "attacking the enemy in the middle" is an allusion that every Chinese knows and has been cited as a motto by many people. Throughout the dynasty,
court
Among them, only Zu Ti was a staunch Northern Expeditionist. Unfortunately, because he was born as a refugee commander, the Northern Expedition was not in the interest of the court, and he had a strong character and was not good at human affairs, so he was jealous of the court.
Xun Guanniang suppressed her shock and asked, "Did the obituary ever state the cause of the disease?"
Xun Song frowned and said hesitantly: "It is said that... he was suddenly infected with typhoid fever on the eighth day of the first lunar month. He fell ill quickly. The doctor's rescue efforts failed, and he died suddenly on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."
Xun Guanniang's face became ugly and she snorted coldly: "There must be something fishy about the death of senior brother. Although senior brother was engaged in military affairs and neglected to practice martial arts, he was still able to achieve the goal of transforming energy. How could he die of illness? Death from typhoid fever is even more impossible!" Could it be that Wang Dun secretly committed the murder? It must be so! Where is the body of my senior brother? When will it arrive in the capital? I must ask the master to personally investigate!"
Wang Dun took the blame so thoroughly that Zu Ti himself doubted it, Xun Guanniang thought so, and even Yun Feng had the same idea. There was no way, Zu Ti's military strength, excluding Yun Feng, ranked second in the court. Yousu is at odds with Wang Dun, which is a huge threat. This speculation is indeed reasonable. However, being reasonable may not necessarily be consistent with the facts. Who could have expected that Zu would be coerced by his master on a date? Zu Ti would be coerced by him Whose brother committed the murder?
Xun Song stroked his beard and advised: "Mother Guan, although what you said is reasonable, there are also similar speculations in the court. However, Zu Yue said in the obituary that in response to the strong demand of the local people, Zu Ti was planned to be killed. Bury on the spot. In this case, it is better to comply with the people's wishes and not to disturb Zu Ti. To say the least, even if Wu Pu Zhenren finds out the cause of death, there will be nothing he can do for Wang Dun for a while. In another month at most, the court will issue a petition to punish him. As for him, it will not be too late to avenge Zu Ti when the time comes. Guan Niang, my father advises you to be patient for a while."
Xun Guanniang's eyes flashed sharply, and she waited for a long time before she said bitterly: "Forget it, let the old thief live a little longer!" Then she changed her voice: "Aweng, how did the court deal with it, senior brother? What’s next?”
Xun Song showed a trace of helplessness, spread his hands and said: "The minister prepared an imperial edict in the name of the court, and posthumously awarded Zu Ti the title of general of chariots and cavalry."
Xun Guanniang heard the overtone of the words and blurted out a series of questions: "Only the general of chariots and cavalry is given as a posthumous gift? Where is the posthumous title? Senior brother has restored the land of Huaibei. When it comes to achievements, no one in the court can compare. Did they forget or deliberately not Posthumous title? Could it be that you despise it so much? You didn’t even bother to give it a posthumous title?"
Xun Song said sarcastically: "The court really went too far. Taizhen, Yuan Gui and the Wu gentry first thought that Zu Ti was not a lieutenant, and secondly thought that Zu Ti had not fought many times with Jie Hu. More His purpose was to win over the refugee forces in Huaibei, and he had little contact with the court. In short, he suspected that he had other motives and was suspected of supporting the army for self-respect. The posthumous gift of the general of chariots and cavalry was also argued for by his father, Bian Shangshu, Shangshu Ling, etc. As a result, otherwise, hey~~ Forget it, if I don’t say anything, that’s all I can do.” As he spoke, Xun Song shook his head, looking quite dissatisfied.
"Bang!" Suddenly there was a loud noise, and Xun Guanniang said angrily: "It's simply a slander! How could they not know what kind of person our senior brother is? If our senior brother knew about it, his soul in heaven might not be able to live in peace! If he wasn't a lieutenant, couldn't he be granted the title of posthumous title? In the final analysis, I still look down on my senior fellow students because they have a lower family background and are just one step behind them in returning to the south. It’s really heartbreaking that fellow senior fellow apprentices can be so contemptuous!"
Everyone turned their heads and saw that Xun Guanniang's hateful blow had broken a small tree into two pieces!
The posthumous title is very important to the deceased. It is based on the person's life deeds and moral cultivation, and is given a title that contains goodwill evaluation and a judgmental nature. It can be divided into three types: good posthumous title, bad posthumous title and ordinary posthumous title.
Nowadays, the court does not even give a posthumous title, which can be seen as an extreme contempt for Zu Ti and an extreme disrespect for the soldiers and people of Huaibei. You must know that Zu Ti is not a person. Behind him are hundreds of thousands of Huaibei people! No wonder
