Three anecdotes

As soon as Yu Bingcheng's words came out, the entire government and the public were in a state of death. The courtiers kneeling in the hall did not even dare to shrink their bodies so that they would not be so conspicuous. After the dead silence, Shang Chengbi actually smiled, "Yu Bingcheng The family is full of loyalty, I believe that villain must have returned without success."

Yu Bingcheng kowtowed his head to the ground, blood was seen on his forehead, "The old minister is old, and all the efforts of the whole family failed to keep this person down."

Only then did Shang Chengbi personally bend down and help Bingcheng up, "What is the great-grandfather doing, please tell the imperial physician quickly! Give me a seat."

Xiao Shunzi personally supported Yu Bingcheng to sit down, Shang Chengbi returned to the couch, and stood high on the south side, only then did the officials dare to lift their sleeves to wipe off their cold sweat.

Shang Chengbi and the others in the hall gradually recovered their panting voices before they confronted him and became enlightened, "Father Taizu has come, there must be a good strategy."

Yu Bingcheng stood up slowly, first saluted respectfully, and then said, "If you want to eliminate evils for the sage, you are willing to spend your life and death. Although the old minister has planted a wooden arch, he is willing to die for the emperor."

Shang Chengbi heard him express his loyalty, and said, "I will never forget my great-grandfather's kindness to me." What a conceited man he is, to be so serious about Bingcheng, all civil and military officials in the court are in a hurry.

Naturally, Yu Bingcheng didn't even dare to say, "Your Majesty's kindness to the old minister is not enough to repay the kindness." He was still dying just now, but now he is not stopping.However, after the scene was finished, the question was about to be revealed, and Yu Bing became enlightened, "Now, Jin Yi is looking forward to great rebellion, and Jin Cardinal steals the northwest, and I am afraid that they will seize Phoenix Mountain by force, and the two will connect together. Your Majesty must not be careless."

Shang Chengbi nodded.In fact, Cardinal Jin and the King of Chu had already been connected in series. He didn't believe that without Cardinal Jin's dispatch, King Chu, a waste of ambition and talent, would dare to become king.

Yu Bingcheng continued, "If the northwest, central and south are connected together, it will be a great threat to our Liang. But the old minister thought that Cardinal Jin stopped advancing after occupying Mengxing, probably because he was trapped by the weather. He came here, because there were ignorant people who were rebellious, so he was lucky enough to make things happen. But once he crossed the river, he encountered rain one after another. Although the bad luck was late this year, there were constant thunderstorms. It is not a good opportunity to march at this time. Cardinal Jin should also postpone it. Action is."

What Yu Bingcheng said was exactly what Shang Chengbi thought, so he just nodded slightly, indicating that Yu Bingcheng would go on.

Yu Bingcheng was an old man, and he spoke intermittently. All the ministers were shocked when Shang Chengbi was still nodding his head while listening to him.Ever since this king of Linyuan, who had brought disaster to the country and the people, left, not to mention calling him by his name, the emperor didn't even want to hear the word Jin.Just after the talent ceremony, when it is inevitable to mention someone in the new department, he will be called the emperor's disciple so and so, and then he dares to face the matter.Now hearing what the old man Jin thief Chu Ni said is logical, everyone can't help but feel in their hearts, the emperor really remembers some kindness towards his family.The empress was on a grand trip, and His Majesty stopped for a month. It seemed that it was not all for Cardinal Jin.

Yu Bing saw that Shang Chengbi agreed with him, so he expressed his most important worry, "Although the Jin thieves are crazy at first sight, they are fundamentally wrong. Jin thieves have been seriously injured. Even though the emperor is benevolent, he has made some progress in these years, but it will be difficult to achieve success in the end. The only thing to worry about is that He Lianxi, the lord of Beidi, has not moved the Tibetan army. There are still 2 people in the army Suzhou is covetous, and He Lianxi is a wolf with ambition to unify the grasslands and occupy several states. The situation is very good, and He Lianxi has always been in cahoots with him. Since this person has long had the heart of enforcing the world, why didn't he take this opportunity to march to the north, but waited with his troops. Your Majesty, the nomadic life of Beidi is no better than our Central Plains To store food, he has tens of thousands of troops pouring out, spending a lot of money on food and military, but he waits at the border for no reason, why, and on what grounds?"

Hearing this, Shang Chengbi finally heard Yu Bingcheng's ambition to go to court in person today. Others don't know why He Lianxi, but how could this old fox, Yu Bingcheng, not know? Of course, it was because of his own uncle, King Jingbian, whose kindness and benevolence are all over the world.

Di Ren didn't move, and his good Uncle Wang could still lie in the palace sick and gentle and continue to recover from his injuries. If Di Ren's soldiers crossed the Dasan Pass, I'm afraid, Shang Qinhan's chest really got cut For the big hole, he had to use the war robe sewn to him by the former queen to block the knife and climb to the gate of the city. At that time, he and Uncle Shang Wang had a mutual loss. Jin Chonghua and Zhen would not let this big advantage go.That being the case, he has no shortage of food—in the house of the rice merchant Yanduo, Zhuang Ding has been replaced by elite soldiers from Beidi, so it doesn't matter if he has food and drink.Yuanheng Bank, the stolen 100 million taels of gold, Yan's rice line—Jin Chonghua, I really underestimated you in the past.

Yu Tongxun supported his trembling old father and just entered the mansion when Shang Chengbi's reward arrived at the door, everyone set up an incense table again, Xie Huangen went through a lot of trouble, Xiao Shunzi's father-in-law accepted the big red envelope, and pointed out with a smile , "They are all medicinal materials. The old man can eat as much as he wants, and ask the second master to choose one or two."

"The emperor's kindness to the old minister's family is deeply felt by Yu's family, and he wished to repay it." The members of the Yu family were very polite to the first supervisor next to Emperor Tianzhao.

"It's easy to say." Xiao Shunzi's father-in-law brought the words, and walked away contentedly with his sleeves full.

Grandpa Yu ordered Yu Wenyuan to deliver it in person, pondered over the list he gave, and finally, with a long sigh, sat down.

Yu Tongxun waited for the angels to go out and said anxiously, "It's rare for you old man to go to court, why didn't you mention that matter."

Grandpa Yu slapped the list of rewards on the case, rolled his eyes, and didn't say a word for a while.

Yu Wenyuan was the most filial, and quickly brought ginseng tea, "Grandson is afraid that the medicinal smell of ginseng will be too strong, so I have already ordered it to be replaced with dangshen. You are so kind."

Yu Tongxun was fascinated by reading the list, "Poria cocos, angelica, wolfberry, whole ginseng, these medicines bestowed by the emperor are really strange."

Yu Bingcheng raised his eyes, Yu Wen complained that he had gone out, and when he closed the door, he heard the sound of his grandfather coughing.Fu Erdie was thinking at the door, but couldn't hear anything.

When Yu Tongxun heard his father coughing, he hurriedly offered tea, but Yu Bingcheng said, "Yesterday, the rebels broke into the Duke's mansion at night. I am old, and I was so shocked that I asked Tongxiang to come back to serve the sick."

Yu Tongxun said, "Tongxiang is in Jingbian—"

"Go! Go right away!" Mr. Yu really lost his temper.

Yu Tongxun hurriedly went to give instructions, opened the door, and saw Yu Wenyuan standing outside, and immediately said, "Go and tell your second brother that my great-grandfather is ill, and I want him to come back immediately to take care of the sick."

Old man Yu flew out with a teacup.The old man had never refuted Tong Xun's face so much in front of his children and grandchildren, and suddenly became so angry, Yu Tongxun and Yu Wenyuan knelt down quickly, Yu Bingcheng glanced at Wen Yuan, and said, "Get up. "

Yu Wenyuan was very obedient, and immediately said, "Wen Yuan immediately go and tell Second Uncle."

This is how the old man calmed down.

Yu Wenchang did not live at home for a few days after the adoption, and went to the outside of the Great Wall with Shang Quhan. He was promoted because of his apprenticeship, and Yu Tongxun was the queen's biological father. He was naturally extremely humble, and Yu Wenyuan was extremely humble. The old man valued it, so he didn't put on airs as an uncle in front of the future head of the Yu family.Therefore, Yu Tongxun was the fastest at the time, and he still called him the old name.

The old man waited for his grandson to go far away before picking up the list full of rewards, "The emperor is thinking about old love."

Yu Tongxun disagreed. Empress Yu died in an embarrassing way. Even if she died with great sorrow and glory, the Yu family would be ashamed. What's more, Yu Wentai's life was spared. That was his eldest son. But no one knows that the real culprit is Cardinal Jin. His two sons and daughters are all in the hands of this traitor. They are really irreconcilable, and they even feel dissatisfied with Shang Chengbi.

Seeing him kneeling on the ground, the old man was still dissatisfied, and said with a sneer, "Our Yu family is too prominent, so you have such arrogance. Regarding Mrs. Wen, I will let you be vigilant, restrain your guard, and even pass on a message I went to give it to the empress in the palace, but I didn't expect that the empress still couldn't hold back."

Yu Tongxun wanted to say something, but seeing his grandfather's face, he knelt on the ground and dared not speak.

Yu Bingcheng took another sip of ginseng tea, "Our Yu family has been loyal and good for generations, so we have the honor of two princes and one queen. You are not cautious, and you are dedicated to serving the country, but you are vacillating, and you have secretly communicated with King Jingbian. The emperor is Who, ten years ago, he had no sacred heart, no achievements, and no confidant, could force King Jingbian to abdicate and go away, would he rub the sand in his eyes?"

When he said this, seeing that Yu Tongxun still refused to accept it, he immediately recited the names of the medicines, "Poria cocos, angelica, wolfberry, whole ginseng, you said the emperor's rewards are weird, but you don't know, you are ignorant."

Yu Tongxun was about to speak, but suddenly understood, and read the name of the medicine again, and finally, he suddenly realized, "The meaning of the Holy One is—that's why you, the old man, want to call Tongxiang back?"

Yu Bingcheng nodded, "Fuling Danggui prays for the whole body of the son. Only when the Yu family bows their heads and listens to the order and calls Tongxiang back can he beg for his life."

Yu Tongxun suddenly shivered when he heard this, "Your Majesty, are you going to attack King Jingbian?"

Yu Bingcheng knocked heavily on the tea bowl, stood up, "I'm sick, very sick, I don't know anything." He leaned back on the armchair and closed his eyes.

Yu Tongxun knew that the matter was of great importance, so he quickly supported the old man, and shouted, "Hurry up, ask the imperial physician!"

Cardinal Jin was also drinking ginseng tea, which was red ginseng, Chu Fuguang looked at his pale complexion, and really couldn't bear to disturb him with current affairs, but he had to say, "The members of the Yu family have returned from the palace. "

"Where's the price of rice?" Cardinal Jin looked down at the letters sent from all over the place without looking up.

"Three strings of money can buy four stones of rice, but it must be the quality of our Jintong money." Chu Fuguang said.

Cardinal Jin smiled and continued to read the letter.

Chu Fuguang came up to help Cardinal Jin open the letter box, "Your Majesty, aren't you always worried that Liang Chen would ban Jin from passing money, but why didn't you mention it to my old man?"

Cardinal Jin asked instead, "A year ago, how much rice could you buy with three pennies?"

Chu Fuguang said, "Although it is less than five stones, there are always four and a half stones."

Cardinal Jin saw that he had realized something, and said with a smile, "You also know that food is expensive and money is cheap, and the quality of Jintong money is so good, apart from Wei's Tongda Bank, which one does not accept Jintong money. If the war continues, food will only become more and more expensive, and money will become less and less valuable, and the less valuable, the more picky we must be. Compared with Hongqing Tongbao, our Jintong money is naturally more popular and in everyone's hands When there is Jintong money in the house, whoever mentions the forbidden money will cut himself off from the people and be punished. Yu Bingcheng, this old fox, do you think he is really willing to be a pure minister for Shang Chengbi?"

Only now did Chu Fuguang know why Deng Tong had learned from the past, but he insisted on going his own way back then, risking his life to find mines and making money himself.

"Your Majesty." Diu Hei came in suddenly.

Cardinal Jin raised his head, "Why, someone dares to take such a big shame and take food from people in the world?"

"It's Yu Tongxiang. He brought a thousand guards from the royal residence and five hundred generals from the Duke's residence, and sealed off Yan Duo's rice shop, saying that the rebels should not be allowed to feed Beidi's soldiers with rice from Daliang."

Cardinal Jin suddenly raised his head, his eyes doubled, "Send me a message to He Lianxi, if he doesn't do anything, is he really waiting to eat my soft food for the rest of his life?"

Chu Fuguang said anxiously, "My son, as soon as Lord Helian moved, King Jingbian—"

Cardinal Jin flicked his sleeves, "Then let the horses fight, and it's time to let him know that the words "invincible" are just because there are no heroes!"

As soon as Helian Xi's soldiers and horses came out, the whole girder seemed to wake up.

Daliang and Beidi are feuds.The deep-seated hatred was written with the blood of countless uncles and brothers and the tears of orphans and widows. If we say that Cardinal Jin led Liang people to revolt, it could still be called the government forcing the people to rebel. The iron hoof invaded the country.It is also a war, and the feelings of the common people cannot accept it.Cardinal Jin went down several cities in succession, and received almost no resistance, but He Lianxi's men and horses just stepped into Lulin, and Shang Hanhan's confidant general Yue Zhonghe who stayed in the North fought in Shazi'ao in a dark and dark battle.When the battle report came, all 3000 men and horses of Yue Zhonghe were killed in battle. Yue Zhonghe and He Lianxi fought in front of the formation. Daliang, only Shangqin Hanfu will fight with me."

Shang Quhan had already set up defenses in Shazi'ao, but how could a mere 3000 troops withstand the 200 troops led by He Lianxi himself? King Jing's army had only soldiers who died in battle, and no prisoners who deserted. On that day, he was killed by He Lianxi. There were no generals who were not wounded, and no soldiers who were not killed. On the last day of the battle, there were only remnants of soldiers left. [-] people stood in front of the trenches in Shaziao with their bodies as shields. Those who couldn't stand up supported themselves with broken weapons, put their shoulders on each other, and formed a human wall. If you step on it, you would rather die than be humiliated.Yue Zhonghe watched with his own eyes three thousand life and death brothers being trampled into flesh under Di Ren's iron hooves.

When the battle report reached Jing'an, Shang Quhan brought up his Fuchen Sword for the first time. As soon as Chu Yiqing brought in a bowl of medicine, he was dressed in a neat set of silver armor, with a black scarf wrapped around his wrist. Sha, the two met face to face, he took the medicine, but his hands were shaking, and he didn't drink it after a long time.

Chu Yi waited lightly and wanted to persuade him, but suddenly, he threw a bowl of medicine on the ground, the medicine bowl shattered, and the medicine juice splashed on the hem of Chu Yi's light clothes, Shang Quhan looked at him, "I'm afraid, I will betray you again!" once."

Chu Yi raised his head lightly, his eyes were clear, and the sound transmitted into his mind clearly, "I only want you to live up to this innocent being."

Shang Quhan didn't say anything, and strode away with his sword in hand.

Chu Yi squatted down lightly, and picked up the fragments on the ground one by one. The celadon pricked his hand, and the blood oozed out little by little. It didn't hurt.

"Your Majesty, King Jingbian is kneeling outside the palace gate to ask for a fight." Xiao Shunzi said cautiously as he brought a bowl of medicine to Shang Chengbi.The emperor is not in good health these days.

Shang Chengbi smiled coldly, "Bi—"

Xiao Shunzi was about to agree, but he heard him continue, "General Zhen Guo Yu Zhongyu."

After receiving Shang Chengbi's call, Yu Zhongyu had already packed his luggage, and when he rushed out of Jing'an City with Shang Chengbi's military talisman, Shang Chengbi invited his uncle in. "Uncle Wang has not recovered from his serious injury, how can he fight?"

Shang Quehan knew that what he wanted was his own military power. Everyone in the world knew that Shang Chengbi was the emperor of Liang, but everyone also knew that without his Shang Quehan's order, no one could afford to use Jing Wang Jun.He Lianxi's attack was menacing, King Jing's army was not allowed to move without military order, Shang Chengbi trapped him in Jing'an City at this time, just to kill King Jing's army.

Shang Quhan was burning with anxiety, and Yu Zhongyu's heart was burning with charcoal. Shang Quhan worked hard for ten years, and King Jing's army had always only known the military order but not the emperor's order. The Shang character flag, besides Shang Quhan's father and son, It's true that no one can carry it, but the emperor sent himself to lead the army to suppress the rebellion at this time. This is not to win over Shang Quhan's military power, but to kill himself.

The emperor appointed General Yu as Generalissimo of Rebellion, and led King Jing's army to put down the rebellion.Daliang went crazy from officials to civilians.Everyone knows what will happen if Yan Ping misses, the emperor wants everyone's life.

Cardinal Jin looked at the continuous rain outside the window, Shang Chengbi, he wanted to commit suicide, no, he wanted to use the whole girder to be buried with him.

Of course Shang Chengbi would not commit suicide. He was sitting on the emperor's throne at this time, looking down at King Jingbian who was kneeling at his feet, "I have no son, no brother, no lover. I am not afraid of death. You are afraid."

Shang Qinhan thought of the flesh and blood of King Jing's army of three thousand. For the first time, he wanted to kill him, but he just abided by his courtiers and knelt at Shang Chengbi's feet, extremely humble, "There are fathers, ancestors, people, and mountains and rivers in the sage. "

Shang Chengbi laughed out loud, and his internal energy was so strong that the bronze tripod on the hall hummed, "I don't love Jiangshan."
