The eight hundred and fourteenth chapter win over the courtiers (2)
When Gao Wenmin, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War, left Caoyuanju Inn, it was already late at night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and everything was quiet.
Sitting in the sedan chair lifted by the sedan chairmen, he recalled from time to time the situation he had just been in that extremely luxurious private room.
Although he was still drunk, his thinking was extremely clear.
Gao Wenmin was also an old minister of the Kingdom's military. Originally, when the Jin clan was in power, he was just a lower-level officer. Over the years, the officers who were originally loyal to the Jin clan were cleaned up one after another, and he was promoted from a lower-level officer to the current high position of right assistant minister of the Ministry of War.
Although his official career is good, his position is mainly achieved through excellent results in leading troops, rather than flattering or giving money and goods. This also makes him an outlier in the Kingdom's military. He supports the eldest prince Shang Jiong not because Shang Jiong is so good to him, but because in his mind, Shang Jiong is the eldest son and is also a good person. He will be the unquestionable crown prince. Working for the crown prince will help ensure that the kingdom military will smoothly stabilize the situation of the kingdom after the new king ascends the throne.
Tong Jinian, the new Minister of War, repeatedly wooed him to serve the Second Prince, but he refused them all. He had no preference, but was just loyal to the kingdom, the king, and the crown prince. Tong Jinian was very dissatisfied with this attitude. Since then, he used various occasions to expel and suppress him.
As he did at the banquet, after Shang Jiong's death, no one would block the suppression of him. If there was no better way, his position as the right assistant minister next month would not be saved, and it might even cause harm to his family.
He knew that it was a risky thing to come to the Jinyuan banquet at this time, but he had no choice. At present, in the kingdom, I am afraid that only Jinyuan can protect him.
That night, he bet on his future and his fortune.
The sedan chair suddenly stopped, and the sedan chair handlers and guards were a little panicked.
"What's wrong?" Gao Wenmin noticed something strange and asked.
"Sir." A guard reported in a panic, "There are people in front of him blocking the way, holding weapons in their hands, and coming in bad intentions."
Gao Wenmin walked out of the sedan chair and saw that in the night ahead there was indeed a group of people dressed in officers and soldiers, holding weapons and torches in their hands, blocking their way, as if they were not in good intentions.
"I am Gao Wenmin, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War, a third-rank military officer. You are so brave that you actually blocked my way!" He shouted loudly, "Who are you?"
"Hello, Mr. Gao." A man dressed as a deputy general among the opponent's officers and soldiers came out.
"Shen?" Seeing the person who came clearly, Gao Wenmin immediately took a breath of air. This Shan was also a member of the Shang royal family, but was just a concubine from the other branch. He was a son of the cousin of the king of the country. However, although this Shan was not at a high level, he was famously vicious and one of the most vicious thugs of the Shang royal family.
The person dressed by this general was Shin, a young man of twenty-four or fifteen years old, holding a long sword and showing a fierce face.
"It's the last general." Shanpi smiled and said authentically.
"In the middle of the night, what do you mean by leading troops to stop me from going home? Are you going to a mutiny?" In fact, Gao Wenmin was not a good man, and asked in a bad voice.
"Shilarious Minister Gao is too proud of his generals. What kind of virtue can the general dare to carry out mutiny?" Chen smiled with a teasing, "If you want a mutiny, only those with high and powerful positions like Shilar Gao have the ability to do it."
Well? This meal is like something in the words.
"As a confidential military minister, I went to Jinyuan's territory late at night to collude with the prince of the previous dynasty. Isn't this preparing for a mutiny?" Shan's tone suddenly changed, and he waved his hand to shout to the officers and soldiers behind him, "The opposite is a treasonous thief. Everyone, killing him will be a great contribution to our Shang Dynasty!"
Gao Wenmin was shocked and angry and shouted: "Shen, the young master of Jinyuan is the savior of the King of Shang! He is now an official of the kingdom, expanding territory for the kingdom! Even if I attend the banquet late at night, how can I get in touch with treason? I think you are a treason!"
"Stop talking nonsense! Mr. Gao, you are dead now!" Chen shouted, "You can't wait for it, what are you waiting for!"
The officers and soldiers responded and attacked forward.
Before Gao Wenmin could react, the two guards on the side were stabbed to death by a random gun, covered with blood holes. The sedan chairmen were frightened and wanted to escape. However, after a few steps, they were all killed by the officers and soldiers who were chasing them.
Gao Wenmin tried his best to repel an officer and soldier, then snatched a knife, and broke another officer and soldier's legs with one knife, leaning against the sedan chair. He is a senior immortal master, and even if he is alone, he still has the power to fight.
"At most, fight to the death. Hurry up and run back home at night and take your wife to escape." He sighed in his heart, and he had already made up his mind. As a senior immortal master, he still had a chance to escape in the Northern Jin Kingdom.
After all, there are only a handful of immortals in the Northern Jin Kingdom.
He died seriously, and half of the officers and soldiers were not allowed to approach him, but five or six more were injured.
"I'll do it!" Shin's body emitted bursts of blue light. It seemed that he was also at the level of immortal master. The long sword in his hand drew a burst of blue light, and then he rushed towards Gao Wenmin.
The two of them fought, and after a few moves, they actually had a fair share of each other. In fact, in terms of strength, Gao Wenmin was stronger than food, but Gao Wenmin was trapped in a siege and was worried about his family, so he was distracted and failed to obtain the offensive.
"Mr. Gao actually has the courage to resist stubbornly!" Shan sneered.
"Gao is not guilty!" Gao Wenmin gritted his teeth.
"Master Gao, don't blame me for not reminding you that you can save your family's life by surrendering. If you persist, not only will you not be able to survive, but you will inevitably be left alone!" said Chen.
After hearing this, Gao Wenmin's heart trembled and his hand couldn't help but soften. Shan took the opportunity to knock the sword of his hand away, then he turned his hand and scratched his chest and knocked him to the ground.
"Forget it, forgot!" Gao Wenmin sighed and closed his eyes helplessly. "Gao has already expected the trouble of today and accepted his fate. I just hope that the King of Shang can spare my family's life for the sake of my hard work for the kingdom."
"What are the faces for the rioters to negotiate terms?" Shan Yi sneered. He turned the tip of the knife and stabbed Bei directly, killing Gao Wenminge on the spot.
Killing Gao Wenmin was originally an order from the superiors. Because Gao Wenmin was the last obstacle to the superiors controlling the Ministry of War. The Minister of Shang Tong Ji Nian was his person, and the Left Minister Lu Shaojian was also his person. If Gao Wenmin was eliminated, the Ministry of War would be completely his subordinates.
"I am a minister of the kingdom. Without evidence, you can't kill me!" Gao Wenmin said hatefully.
"Don't worry, everyone who attends today's Jinyuan night banquet will die!" said the chicken, "You will not be alone on the road to the underworld!"
Forget it, the long sword stabs!
