Three anecdotes

When the nearby defenders saw Juntian Order, the young ones didn't know what was going on, but the old ones had already started to use their weapons. Those who were young 20 years ago now have official positions in the army, big and small. , Everyone saw the signal of the word Shang and gathered together. The three words Shang Hanhan in the Daliang Army have no golden characters, but they are also a golden signboard, especially for the middle and lower level generals. Wait for an order and rush out.

King Wufeng of England, grew up in Jing'an since he was a child, made achievements in Mobei, and kept his business in the grassland. He has led the forbidden army for many years, and his foundation is deep. The majestic appearance that sweeps the world will not be easily forgotten. This is why Feng Xing, who has eighteen kinds of weapons, has practiced guns. The gun, the gun is his blood, his spirit, his soul, and his son wants to inherit his spirit, so he will naturally become his famous weapon.

The generals gather together, you look at me and I look at you, no one speaks first, the big guys are now dragging their families, and they are no longer the young boys who fed the whole family by themselves. After Shang Chengbi forced Shang Quhan to leave the capital and survived, he would not be an absolute supporter of Shang Quhan back then. Now that he has a family and a business, he is naturally more cautious.

No one could have imagined that the first person to speak was actually a member of the Yu family. Yu Wenyuan is now also serving in the Imperial Army, "The former emperor has an order, and when you see Jun Tian's order, you should immediately meet the guards. How can we ignore the salary of the emperor?" King's order?" The words sounded right, but what they ate was not the salary of the late emperor, but Shang Chengbi's.

Immediately, there was a mature way, "The first emperor gave the order of Juntian back then to prevent Beidi from treacherous plots. Now that the world has changed, we are ordered by the emperor to guard the capital. How can we serve the second master?" upset.

But someone immediately retorted, "Today's pure filial piety is raised by the late emperor alone. How can he disregard the late emperor's will?" Take it with you and raise it.

Some people think that they should go to court immediately, some think they should stay at their posts and perform their own duties, and more people think that they can go to see the situation first, let's take a look, don't bring troops, don't do anything, want to come It should be okay, there are different opinions, and there is no consensus.

Soon, a soldier came back to report the news, and the Luan guards took away the new Yang Weisan at the gate of the Duke's Mansion, and the little prince released the Jun Tianling.At that time, I firmly said not to go, and now I am very excited, "Fortunately, we didn't go out, it was the Luan guards who arrested people!"

But the one who was determined to go out was even more excited, "The Luan Guards have always arrested people indiscriminately. Mr. Wei San is a gangster, how could he offend the Luan Guards?"

The neutral people looked at each other in blank dismay, the one who arrested was Luan Guard, the one who captured was Wei Xinyang, and the one who released Jun Tianling was Shang Conghuan. I understand - the emperor is going to remove King Jingbian's influence.

Therefore, whether to go or not has become a political stance, a question of standing in line, and even another topic that is surging undercurrents—seizure and abdication. Thinking of this, the hall suddenly fell silent like death, everyone Secretly kept secret.

That night, the old house in Sanyue Lane of the Wei family was full of people. I don’t know how many generals in the middle and lower ranks of the army went to visit Fengxing. From a distance, I saw the golden embroidered sword of the Luan guards suddenly shining in the dark, but they all sent their family members to send greeting cards.The concierge accepted the invitation, but no one saw it.

The guards of Luan made clear the names of the people who came this night, the value of their official residence, their children, and who they recommended.

The pamphlet was immediately sent to Shang Chengbi's desk. Shang Chengbi could see clearly that these people were more or less related to the Yu family. After a long time, I actually gave birth to a rebellious bone."

The next day, there were two rumors in the market. The first one was that the first queen was jealous. After nine years on the throne, she had nothing in the harem, and Lu Chongyuan, who was pregnant, died for no apparent reason.

The second article, Wei Jin Leng was ambiguous with Prince Cheng, leaked the secrets of Jing'an, was discovered by the Luan guards, and killed them.

On the third day, the battle report came from the front. The invincible King Jingbian fought He Lianxi at Aozikou, but was defeated and injured.

For a while, Xiao Xiao thought about change, and people panicked.

When the news of Shang Quhan's defeat reached Jing'an, everyone's first reaction was not to believe it, absolutely not.How could King Jingbian, who had commanded thousands of troops without a single defeat, lose, and how could he lose in the hands of Beidi people.When he was a teenager, he defeated Beidi's military commander. Since then, Beidi has not set up the post of military commander.However, the news from the front line was even worse. It said that King Jingbian was seriously injured before he left for the expedition—everyone who injured him knows that the current Beidi Military Chief—the new prince of the Great Chu Kingdom—the old Liang Emperor Pet - Cardinal Jin.

There must be a problem here, and the problem is further fermented with time and rumors.

When the news came that King Jingbian was unconscious from an arrow in the back, the temples in Jing’an City became more and more popular, because everyone wanted to offer incense and pray for King Jingbian, and even the price of pork in the Jing’an market dropped two times. Because many people made a vow to become a vegetarian for King Jingbian before the Buddha.Looking at the secret document presented, Shang Chengbi wondered if he was the one lying unconscious in the Qifeng Pavilion today, would he have such an honor.Apparently, he knew the answer himself, even if he didn't want to admit it.False benevolence and hypocrisy have always been his Uncle Wang's specialty. He has persisted for so many years, and he can really deceive ignorant women and children.

In the past two days, there was no good news, especially the news that King Jingbian was injured, and the Sanyue Lane of the Wei family received more invitations.Feng Xing still stays behind closed doors, not saying a word.In fact, the people who sent the greeting cards did not necessarily want to side with Shang Quhan. Many of them regarded themselves as Fengxing's uncles, and hoped to persuade this young and energetic young prince to tell the present day about the Jun Tianling. Explain it up and down, so as to avoid disharmony between the monarch and his subjects, and the Lord's suspicion.However, in Shang Chengbi's eyes, even these so-called straight ministers had a lot of defense against King Jingbian's lineage in their hearts, and he couldn't tolerate this kind of protection.Shang Chengbi's principle has always been that anyone who is not mine is my enemy.Now that the Yu family has stated their position, don't blame him for being ruthless.

In the lotus pond of Kunhe Palace, which was sealed off when she was the cousin emperor and empress, a dead body suddenly floated up.

Everyone in the palace was panicked, and rumors of ghosts spread. Shang Chengbi personally ordered an investigation, and found out that Queen Yu had tortured and killed the palace maid.Everyone remembered that after Yu Wentai's accident in May last year, Kunhe Palace lost a large number of court ladies and eunuchs.They ordered people to dig again, and all the silt at the bottom of the lotus pond was turned over to make fertilizer for flowers, and another eleven corpses were dug up.

The old nanny who stayed in Kunhe Palace to guard the palace for the queen was referred to the Department of Criminal Justice. At first, she bit others, saying that the person was killed by Cardinal Jin with a sword. However, after the autopsy, no sword wound was found. Several people were tortured, but they finally confessed that after Yu Wentai's arm was cut off by King Jingbian's younger brother Dai Tianxingdao, Queen Yu vented his anger on the maids and eunuchs, and killed everyone around him one by one.

Shang Chengbi sighed, having been with her for so many years, he didn't know that she was so vicious.

Immediately afterwards, another corpse with a big belly was found in the sealed well of Kunhe Palace. It is said that one corpse and two lives were killed.Wu Zuo said that it happened six years ago, and someone in the know remembered that six years ago, a court lady named He was pregnant, but she had a miscarriage inexplicably.The interrogation by the Shang Xingsi overnight turned out to be done by Empress Yu too. Qingniang Chongwutou paired with Wang Buliuxing cleanly knocked out the dragon species in the maid's belly.

The confession was placed on Shang Chengbi's desk, and Shang Chengbi said, "The Yu family is full of loyalty, how could such a wolfish and ambitious woman be born."

From torturing and killing court ladies to murdering dragonborn, this woman's ambition is clearly revealed.

Ordinarily, the Yu family should have defended themselves or entered the palace to plead guilty, but the palace would find out the queen's crimes one by one, but the Yu family seemed to have no response at all. Yu Zhongyu knelt in front of the old man, "Father, Shang Chengbi doesn't remember any old feelings at all. The child has already passed away, and they shared the same bed for nine years, yet he doesn't even know that he is for the deceased."

After all, Yu Tongxun could see it clearly, "Ni'er has long said that sooner or later, her position as queen will be vacated to make room for that evildoer."

"Which evildoer?" Yu Zhongyu didn't understand for a while, but after asking, he felt inconceivable, "Cardinal Jin? He has rebelled, so the emperor still misses him!"

In the end, Yu Bingcheng understood, "Our emperor has not been idle these days. His eyes seem to be fixed on the harem. In fact, the previous dynasty has already summoned many people. Moreover, I watched him deploy troops. In fact, the Forbidden Palace in the capital actually came out in full force, leaving no one behind."

"Why is this?" Yu Zhongyu also received the news that Shang Chengbi had almost mobilized all the soldiers to go south, and counting the strength of Daliang, the capital was really empty.

Yu Tongxun understood at this meeting, "He set up a stance to face Cardinal Jin head-on. If he loses, he will die. If he wins, he will bring this monster back. Kunhe Palace will be replaced from now on. .”

The Yu family assisted Shang Chengbi to ascend the throne ten years ago, and it has been an honor since then.No one could see Shang Chengbi's intentions more clearly than they did, and it was precisely because of this that he turned his back very simply.But, so what if you see through Shang Chengbi's intentions, Shang Chengbi is no longer the prince's son who pretended to be crazy and could only count on them to ascend the throne ten years ago.He is now the Son of Heaven, rich in the world.In the final analysis, the honor of the Yu family was given by him. If he didn't want to give it, he could naturally take it back.But before that, he had to do one more big thing.

It has been five days since Wei Jin Leng was trapped in the prison of the Luan Guards.He can't be punished as a doctor. Although he has no fame, he is not easy to deal with because of his great reputation. In the snow disaster that year, but the third son of Wei tried his best to give everyone porridge and food. It is a bit too much. The people of Ancheng have the grace to survive, and he bears the name of King Jingbian's younger brother, even the Luan Imperial Guards cannot offend the public.It's just that it's not bad if you don't torture yourself. In fact, there is one thing in this world that is crueler than torture-and that is hunger.

Wei Jin entered the imperial prison coldly, and there was only one person in a single room. No one brought him water or food. What's more, they blew out the only oil lamp in the stone prison. Among them, there is no distinction between day and night.Wei Jin Leng stayed in the deadly stone room for five days and five nights.By the fourth hour, he was already sure that no one would talk to him.Fortunately, Wei San is a calm person, once he was sure of this, it was already a cycle of heaven and earth, and he began to practice his inner strength.He was entangled in mundane affairs, and he rarely had the time to concentrate on practicing martial arts after he became an adult, but now he had a chance.

Unfortunately, what is more unbearable than hunger is thirst.

In particular, Wei Xinyang's internal strength is strong and positive, and he is more likely to be hot and dry than others.

He wanted to say, there was no one, the long corridor that walked in seemed to separate the prison from the world, he was like a leaf, falling in the golden autumn full of light, he could not see anything in the blink of an eye.He tried to push open the closed stone door with his palm, but to no avail. He tried to transmit the breath through the air hole on the top of his head, but no one responded.They spent so much effort to catch him in, but they threw him here like an abandoned corpse, ignoring him, ignoring him, and then waiting for him to die.

Of course Guo Tong was waiting, waiting for the day when Wei Jin Leng couldn't take it anymore.It's just that Wei Jin's attitude seems to be much better than ordinary people's. It's been five days, his lips have cracked so much that it hurts his equally anxious mouth, but his will is like red-hot iron, about to be tempered into steel.The pure yang internal force was surging in the body, and Wei Jinleng could feel that his internal force had increased by more than one level after he came in.However, the whole person has lost weight.

Therefore, Guo Tong had no choice but to wait, but the opportunity would not wait, let alone the rumors.

When the Great Chu Kingdom stopped because of the emperor's ascension to the throne, Cheng Guo, who had always been friendly and neighborly with Daliang, suddenly launched an attack, claiming that the establishment of the Chu Empire threatened the northeast of Dacheng, and sent [-] troops to Yunyi.It is true that Yunyi is bordered by Yunke at the westernmost end of Chu, but to the north of Yunyi is Suyuan in Daliang. The peddler who sells candied haws in Jing’an also knows that Xicheng is Xiangzhuang’s sword dance intended for Peigong, and he wants to borrow Cardinal Jin When the army was raised, He Lianxi invaded, and when Liang Liang was overwhelmed by the north and the south, he came to share a share of the pie.

When the military report was sent to Shang Chengbilong's case, Shang Chengbi said one word, "Okay!"

Then, an inside story spread to the streets and alleys. Wei Xinyang, the third son of Xixigu, and his old lover Chengguo's secret agent, Xicheng Xiaowang, Shen Qixian, joined forces to assassinate King Jingbian, intending to take the opportunity to occupy Daliang. The evidence for the land is that after King Jingbian was assassinated, Shen Qixian, who had been lingering in Jing'an City and claimed to be the third son-in-law of Jixigu, fled overnight.

Murder turned into collaborating with the enemy and treason, and the death of two Luan guards can still be said to be very satisfying, but first betraying his brother and then betraying the country, and betraying the military situation, even the common people who always thought that Mr. Xin Yang was a good man were shaken.

Xicheng was aggressive, Emperor Tianzhao was furious, and Shang Chengbi ordered to surround the Wei mansion and seal the Tongda bank, to investigate carefully, to find out the truth, to give Mr. Wei a clean slate, or to give King Jingbian an explanation.

There are 63 rice shops, 850 three pawnshops, 270 seven money houses, and countless teahouses, wine shops, inns and restaurants in 72 provinces in the south and north. With the seal of each family in the account book, even if the only son of King Jingbian brought his 300 iron guards in front of the door, he could only save the lives of more than [-] people in the Wei family.In front of the imperial decree, what about King Juntian, as long as he doesn't want to rebel, Juntian is also a subject, and the emperor is the sky.

When the news reached Dachu, Cardinal Jin cut off the newly harvested straw, chuckled, you finally made a move, let's wait and see.

No Responsibility Small Theater

Shang Chengbi knocked on the walnuts outside the door, brought in the peeled flesh in a small dish, and fed it into Cardinal Jin's mouth by the way.

Cardinal Jin opened his mouth and asked him, "Have you fed Weijie?" Weijie is his horse.

Shang Chengbi nodded, and Cardinal Jin said, "Get up at night and feed again."

Shang Chengbi looked at him.

Jin Shuji was straightforward, "A horse is not fat without night grass."

Shang Chengbi said, "Okay." He undid a button.

Cardinal Jin asked again, "Did you feed Taoer?" Taoer was his cat.

Shang Chengbi nodded, "I'm too full, I'm chasing my tail." He unbuttoned another button.

Cardinal Jin said, "Her mouth is too big."

Shang Chengbi agreed, "I caught two new fish today."

Cardinal Jin ordered, "Remember to feed him, he will go blind if he doesn't eat fish."

Shang Chengbi put another walnut in his mouth.

Cardinal Jin ate it, and then asked, "Have you fed Jiaoer?" Jiaoer was his rabbit.

Shang Chengbi nodded again, "I'm grinding my teeth after eating."

Cardinal Jin said, "The rabbit is not hungry, remember to put the radish and cabbage far away at night, otherwise food will accumulate."

Shang Chengbi was still unbuttoning, "Don't worry, she's already eaten meat today."

Cardinal Jin saw that he was already lying on the bed, and then asked, "Have you fed the screens?" The screens are his pigeons.

Shang Chengbi twisted a walnut kernel and put it in his mouth again, "Don't worry."

Cardinal Jin kept his mouth shut, not wanting to eat.

Shang Chengbi looked at him, "What?"

Cardinal Jin shook his head.

Shang Chengbi then knelt up on the bed and looked at him, "The deer have been fed, the eagles have been fed, the nesting swallows have been fed, and the burrowing ants have been fed." He said, and put on his clothes again. Get dressed.

Cardinal Jin saw that he just lay down and got up again, "What are you doing?"

Shang Chengbi glanced at the plate containing the walnuts, "Chonghua, who is gluttonous, hasn't been fed yet, go cut some new fruit, and then feed him."

Cardinal Jin, "..."

Shang Chengbi stuck to his ear, "I'll feed you, and then, when Wei Xie eats the night grass, you can feed me too!"

Cardinal Jin kicked him off the bed, "Master, you're not hungry!"
