Chapter 56 Section 6 Xiao Yu begs to die

Wan Yanliang always believed that without Xiao Yu's assistance, he would not be able to sit on the throne, so he had absolute trust in Xiao Yu.But now, with Xiao Yu's personal rebuttal in front of his eyes, Wanyan Liang couldn't help but not believe it.So, now that the matter is over, how will Wan Yanliang deal with Xiao Yu? When Wan Yanliang read the letter, he was overwhelmed by lightning, not so much angry as sad.He was very uncomfortable and ordered someone to bring Xiao Yu to question him face to face.After Xiao Yu came, Wan Yanliang asked Xiao Yu, why did you rebel?Xiao Yu knew that the matter had been leaked, and it was useless not to admit it. He couldn't hide it, so he answered honestly.He said that Your Majesty and Tang Kuobian still have me. We agreed to live together and die together. Those people were all killed by Your Majesty. I saw that this matter will fall on me sooner or later, so I have to act first. I want to kill you.When the emperor heard it, you were really honest, but you still insisted on this point, and said that you must kill me.The emperor was moved for a moment and burst into tears.Don't you know about our friendship?You are different from those people, you have always been loyal to me, you have no intention of harming me, how could I harm you?You are being overly defensive.When Xiao Yu saw that the emperor was crying, he also cried. At this time, he may also regret it.Of course, I can't ask the emperor about this kind of thing. Do you want to kill me recently, Your Majesty?It's not easy to ask, I think he just wants to kill me, so I want to rebel to save my life, but I didn't expect the emperor didn't mean to kill me.

The emperor said, if I wanted to kill you, I would have killed you long ago. Your relatives are all in the capital. Can I allow you to be so safe?Now seeing Xiao Yu regretting it, the emperor told him that you don't have to die, as long as you repent of your sin.At this time, Xiao Yu's heart was overwhelmed, and he gave up.He said, Your Majesty has treated me with such kindness as a mountain, and I should be punished by God for plotting to rebel.But now that the matter has come to this point, don't spare me. If you think about the old relationship, hang me and leave me a whole body. Take me as a negative example and warn other ministers not to covet the throne.When a person is about to die, his words are also kind. Xiao Yu said that the descendants of Emperor Taizong were all killed by me. Back then when Zongxian and Zongmin were killed, it was my bad idea. This is also retribution, and I should die .After saying this, Xiao Yu closed his eyes and waited for death, but he wanted to die quickly.Wan Yanliang burst into tears, cut open his arm, and smeared the blood on Xiao Yu's face. I don't know what kind of custom it is, and then told Xiao Yu, I absolutely did not doubt your intentions. You don't understand when you are alive. It should be understood.Afterwards, Xiao Yu was strangled to death.

From this we can see that in the Wanyanliang era, the monarch and ministers completely lost the style of relying on personality charm to inspire ministers during the Taizu Taizong period, and instead relied on conspiracy and butcher knives to consolidate their own country.Therefore, it is generally believed that Wan Yanliang was a tyrant in Chinese history.But sometimes what a tyrant does is not necessarily all bad.During Wan Yanliang's reign, the Sinicization of the Jurchen nation was completely completed.So what did he do during this period to completely complete the Sinicization?
