Enter the male channel to engage in infrastructure

On April 32th of the [-]nd year of Zhengqian, Emperor Tiansheng led more than [-] congregants from Qizhou to the capital.

At that time, the Yuezhou battlefield fell into a stalemate, and the King of Yue and the imperial army were fighting hard.

The court was still arguing over whether to send more troops.

Taifu Fan watched the chaos silently, feeling more and more heavy in his heart.

The government is cracked, the soil is broken, the darkness is blocked, the thieves are swarming, and the ground is full of smoke and dust.

This is Dasheng today.

sad!Sigh!

On the first day of May, Emperor Tiansheng led [-] congregants to a place fifty miles outside the capital and set up camp on the spot.

The urgent report reached the palace, and the emperor almost fell off his chair.

He quickly summoned a group of ministers to discuss countermeasures.

Cao Yan said: "Your Majesty, there are about 4 troops in the capital and the city. The walls of the capital are impenetrable. The Heavenly Sacred Cult is nothing more than a mob. How can they break through the city defenses?"

The emperor was relieved a little, and asked, "Who is willing to lead the army to expel the cult and defend the capital?"

Facing the menacing Tianshengjiao, the imperial court must launch a general to integrate all forces to fight against the enemy.

Otherwise, if the garrison in Gyeonggi has an idea and the defenders in the city have a plan, how can they fight?

Cao Yan replied: "Your Majesty, I believe that Marquis Ning En is loyal, courageous and experienced, and he will be able to lead the army to repel the Heavenly Sacred Cult!"

The letter of thanks came out: "Your Majesty, the old minister has been in poor spirits recently, and I am afraid that I cannot take on this important task."

He didn't mean to shirk on purpose, he really felt that he was too old to take on such an important responsibility.

"Ning Enhou, are you going to abandon the safety of the capital?" Cao Yan asked.

Xie Dao said: "The Ministry of War is full of talented people. Cao Shangshu is in his prime and has also been on the battlefield. During this period of time, he has talked about everything in the battle against the enemy. He has a lot of experience. I think you are quite suitable. Your Majesty, why don't you This is an opportunity for Cao Shangshu to show himself!"

Cao Yan: "..."

The emperor also felt that it was feasible, so he named Cao Yan as the supreme commander of the resistance against the enemy.

Cao Yan could only accept it.

After the court was over, Xie Xin walked toward the palace gate expressionlessly.

"Ning Enhou, please stay."

A familiar voice came from behind.

Xie Xin stopped and turned around, cupped his hands and said, "Fan Gong."

The two walked and chatted.

Fan Taifu said: "Why is Hou Ye unwilling to lead troops to guard the capital?"

Xie Xin sighed, "Even Duke Fan thinks I'm cowardly and withdrawn?"

"No," Fan Taifu said with a serious expression, "It's just that Cao Yan doesn't have the ability to lead an army, I'm afraid..."

What's more, if Cao Yan has a different intention, wouldn't the whole capital be destroyed?

Xie said: "It's not that I don't want to lead the army, it's because I'm old and I can't fight."

"Master Hou, take care of yourself."

"Thank you, Mr. Fan."

The situation in the capital suddenly became tense, and the imperial court issued several military orders one after another to march and mobilize the crowd to prepare for the defense of the capital.

Lou Zhi sat firmly in the Prince's Mansion with a smile on his lips.

"It's really God helping me to let Cao Yan lead the army."

The doorman said: "With Cao Shangshu here, our chances of winning are even greater."

Lou Zhi closed his eyes to feel the undercurrent of the storm, stretched out a hand, and slowly clenched it into a fist.

It seemed that the supreme throne was right in front of my eyes.

He is within reach.

"Are the military guards and the imperial guards ready?"

"Your Highness, our people are planted inside, and we will start to act when the Tianshengjiao attacks the city."

Lou Zhi suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes flashed fiercely.

"Send a letter to Shi Ming and let him attack the city tomorrow!"

"Yes!"

Shi Ming is the name of Emperor Tiansheng. Only a few people know this name, except for the confidant generals in Tiansheng sect, basically no one knows it.

He is only 34 years old this year. He read books when he was a child and can recognize some characters.

In the tent, Shi Ming pinched the note from Lou Zhi, squinted at the words on it, and snorted inexplicably.

Sitting beside him were a dozen or so Immortals and Xingjuns. Seeing this, they couldn't help but ask, "Holy Emperor, what did you say over there?"

Shi Ming said, "Let's do it tonight."

"Holy Emperor, let's go down and prepare now!"

Shi Ming nodded: "Everyone cheer up!"

Xuanji Xingjun returned to his tent and summoned his men to explain the siege tonight.

Everyone was gearing up and excited.

That's the capital, how many people have never seen the capital in their entire lives!

I heard that the capital city is made of gold, silver and jade. I heard that the ladies in the capital city are all fairies. I heard that the capital city is a paradise on earth...

Seeing everyone's expressions, Sun Xin asked with a silly smile: "Xingjun, if we attack in, will we be able to get a lot of money and sleep with many beautiful ladies? Hehehe."

Xuanji Xingjun glanced at him: "Look at your worthless appearance."

"I remember that there were rebels in my hometown before, and that's what they did. Those who robbed money robbed money, and those who robbed women robbed women. Anyway, they left after the robbing. It doesn't matter what happens to them in the future."

Sun Xin observed Xuanji Xingjun's expression calmly, and continued to guide: "Isn't it the same for us, anyway, what happens to the capital in the future has nothing to do with us, what should be robbed, what should be killed..."

"Okay!" Xuanji Xingjun suddenly became irritable and interrupted him, "You are all waiting here, I will return as soon as I go."

He came to the main tent with a gloomy complexion, and immediately asked after seeing Shi Ming, "Holy Emperor, I have a few words to ask you."

He is Shi Ming's confidant and knows Shi Ming's thoughts very well.

Shi Ming said politely, "Sit down and talk."

"Holy Emperor, what are your plans to attack the city tonight?"

Shi Ming was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

Xuanji Xingjun said: "Holy Emperor, if we think about that, we can't look up to Emperor Zhenggan."

"make it clear."

"Isn't Emperor Zhenggan able to exist today because he doesn't care about the lives of the people? We can't learn from him, or the people will definitely hate us."

What he said was rough, but the truth was clear.

When Shi Ming thought of the resplendent palace and the dragon chair inlaid with gold and jade, he couldn't stop being excited.

He wants to be emperor!He wants to be the master of the world!

But he also knows that his name is not right, even if he sits on the dragon chair, people in the world will not recognize him.

This requires buying people's hearts.

He looked at Xuanji Xingjun with admiration: "You are very good, you can think of this. Let's go on and pass the order. After entering the capital, everyone is not allowed to wantonly hurt the common people. If anyone disobeys the military order, he will be killed without mercy!"

Only then did Xuanji Xingjun feel relieved, and said with a smile: "I hope the Holy Emperor will get his wish!"

Shi Ming laughed loudly: "At that time, everyone can get what they want!"

High-ranking officials and generous salaries, delicious food and wine, you can have whatever you want!

Xuanji Xingjun's heart suddenly became hot.

On the third day of May, the crescent moon is like a hook.

The people in the capital were sleeping peacefully, when they were suddenly awakened by the earth-shattering shouts of killing.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Shi Ming took advantage of the unpreparedness of the Gyeonggi garrison and broke through the defense line of the Gyeonggi garrison, approaching the city.

The guards at the city gate hurriedly reported the military situation, and the capital was immediately turned on its back.

A group of officials woke up from the bed and hurriedly put on their clothes.

The civil servants rushed to the palace, and the generals went straight to the front.

The lights in the palace were brightly lit, and everyone was frightened, including Lou Zhi.

He couldn't figure it out, why did Shi Ming want to attack the city tonight when he asked Shi Ming to attack the city tomorrow!

Lou Zhi's original plan was to take advantage of Shi Ming's siege to completely control the situation in the inner city, and use the power of the Holy Sect to force the palace to seize power.

But now, Shi Ming made a plan ahead of time!

Although one night in advance would not have much impact on the plan, Lou Zhi still felt a little uneasy.

In the hall, the ministers discussed the countermeasures intensely.

The emperor was woken up in the middle of the night by the emergency military situation. He had a splitting headache and couldn't bear to listen, so he shouted loudly, "Shut up, everyone!"

The hall fell silent instantly.

The emperor looked gloomy: "Where is Cao Yan?"

"Cao Shangshu is already leading troops to defend the city."

There are nine city gates in the capital, four main gates and five side gates, all of which have troops deployed.

But the defenders in the city add up to no more than 3 people, divided into nine gates, and each gate has an average of no more than 4000 people.

No one knows which sect the Tiansheng Church focuses on.

So, how should the troops be allocated?Which city gate should the main force be stationed at?

Others don't know, but Commander Cao Yan does.

He brought eight thousand troops and stood firmly in front of Tianshu Gate.

Tianshumen is the closest to the imperial city.

Their plan was that Shi Ming pretended to be the main attack on the Tianshu Gate to put some pressure on the imperial city.

The Tianshu gate is about to break, and it is impossible for the emperor not to mobilize the military guards and imperial guards to come for reinforcements.

In this way, how empty is the imperial city?

Lou Zhi has placed manpower in both the military guards and the imperial guards, and then he will be able to enter the palace and force the emperor to issue an edict to abdicate.

Although forcing the palace to rebel doesn't sound good, Lou Zhi would rather choose the former than the depression of being subservient.

However, he was destined to be disappointed.

It is useless for him to set up more troops at Tianshu Gate.

Thanks to the dark lines in the capital, Lou Yu soon learned of the changes in the capital.

But when you know it, it's a foregone conclusion.

On the fourth day of May, Tianshengjiao broke through Chengxuan Gate.

On the fifth day of May, Cao Yan died in battle.

On the sixth day of May, Ning Enhou Xie Xin went into battle, but unfortunately fell off his horse, broke both legs, and became disabled.

On the seventh day of May, Tianshengjiao broke into the palace, and the emperor hanged himself in Guangde Hall. The third prince Lou Zhi and several princes were killed, but the prince was missing.

On the eighth day of the fifth lunar month, Shi Ming, the Heavenly Sage Emperor, entered the palace and proclaimed himself emperor in Guangde Hall.

When the news spread, the world was shocked.

what's going on?

Why did Tiansheng Sect suddenly conquer the capital?Why did Tiansheng Emperor Shi Ming suddenly become emperor?

The emperor is dead?The princes are all dead too?The prince is gone?

So what to do now?

King Yue, who was fighting fiercely with the imperial army, was also dumbfounded.

He was fighting to the death here, and the Heavenly Saint Sect broke through the capital over there?

Lou's country is lost, and he's still playing a fart!

The imperial army also felt that there was no need to fight. The emperor had changed hands, and the dragon chair had been replaced. Why are they still fighting bitterly?

But if they stop fighting, what should they do?

The imperial army had enmity with the king of Yue, and it was impossible to stay in Yuezhou.

How to do this?

Except for Yuezhou, the rest of the state capitals were gradually in turmoil.

Emperor Zhengqian is dead, and the country has changed hands. As the clan, their vassal kings, don't they have a chance?

In this case, whoever breaks through the capital first and kills Shi Ming will be the emperor!

But state officials have no choice.

Either work with the vassal king, or you don't want to be an official.

The imperial court is gone, and he is still a fart official!

The vassal kings or armed forces all over the country have shouted slogans——

Eradicate the traitors and clear the government and the opposition!

Under the banner of King Qin, they tried to break through the capital, but they had to retreat after facing the solid city wall of the capital.

These blind little forces all shrank back.

Gyeongju is still peaceful.

But some senior generals were not at peace.

In the conference hall of the General Office of Xincheng, everyone looked at Lou Yu burningly, waiting for His Royal Highness to raise the flag to cheer!

Lou Yu was amused by them: "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, our Qingzhou is far away from the capital, if we directly send a large army to attack the city, it will be difficult to continue the logistics."

"Your Highness, now that the capital is occupied by the Tianshengjiao rebels, it is a good time to attack!" Li Shu spoke excitedly.

But Yang Guanghuai said: "The morale of the Tiansheng Sect is high now, and it is not a good opportunity to attack the capital at this time."

"Huh?" Li Shu was dumbfounded.

Huo Yan explained: "It is a good thing for Qingzhou that the Tianshengjiao breaks through the capital. His Highness did not intend to take the capital in one fell swoop, but to take the opportunity to expand its power."

Only after the death of the emperor can Qingzhou use the name of "King Qin" to expand its territory and develop its power.

There is no point in going to the capital at this time.

Let alone the fact that the capital is easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if he really captures the capital, the King of Yue and others will still be watching.

When the time comes, my vitality will be severely injured, how can I resist the forces of other vassal kings?

But now, the Tiansheng Sect is sitting in the capital, and it is bound to go all out to encroach on the surrounding area of ​​the capital, and then touch the whole world.

The vassal kings headed by King Yue will also take the opportunity to annex other state capitals and recruit troops.

That is to say, in the short term, everyone will be clear-cut and will not fight each other.

This is undoubtedly a good opportunity for Gyeongju.

Lou Yu spread out the map and said: "At present, apart from us, Dasheng also has four forces. Tianshengjiao is centered on the capital city, expanding its territory around. , the local ethnic groups are mostly self-governing, and may take advantage of the situation to fight for independence; there is the last one, the Northwest Army."

He looked at Huo Yan.

Huo Yan understood, and said: "The current commander of the Northwest Army is Tang Cheng, who is quite ambitious."

How can an ambitious commander with an army of [-] have no ideas?

Lou Yu said: "The crown prince's side concubine Tang Shi and Tang Cheng are relatives. There is news from the Anbu that the crown prince is likely to sneak out of the city in disguise with Tang Shi's help."

Because after Shi Ming broke into the East Palace, only the crown prince and concubine Tang disappeared.

Yang Guanghuai said: "Your Highness, what you mean is that the crown prince is likely to flee to the northwest through Tang's relationship?"

"That's right." Lou Yu nodded, "Of course, this is just my guess."

But have to guard.

This is why Gyeongju cannot act rashly now.

Even if they captured the capital now, it would be nothing more than making wedding dresses for others.

The prince is the legitimate heir.

At that time, "King Qin" will only be "King Qin".

Li Shu asked: "Your Highness, since the Tiansheng Sect and the King of Yue are expanding, shouldn't we also..."

"Haha, you are right," Lou Yu asked, "In your opinion, who should we subdue first?"

There are three states bordering Gyeongju, Jizhou, Yizhou, and Cangzhou.

Currently, Lou Yu has certain control over these three states.

A circle further outside, there are Jiangzhou, Huzhou, Dingzhou, and Laizhou.

Yuezhou is located in the south of the capital, separated from Gyeongju by a lot of state capitals, and it is not yet possible to meet it, and there is no such thing as fighting for land.

Not to mention the Northwest Army.

Li Shu scratched his head: "Huzhou?"

Huzhou is located in the southwest of Cangzhou and borders Cangzhou. They can go deep into Huzhou from Cangzhou and seize the city of Huzhou.

There is no vassal king in Huzhou, so there is no dispute over the interests of the imperial power.

Lou Yu smiled, and then asked Yang Guanghuai, "What do you think, sir?"

"It's natural to attack Huzhou, but you can also persuade Yizhou and Jizhou to return."

"How to persuade him to return?" Lou Yu asked.

Yang Guanghuai replied: "Your Highness is surnamed Lou and has strong strength. The prefect of Yizhou is a man of knowledge and interest, but the prefect of Jizhou is cautious, so he can only rely on His Highness."

Now that the anti-thieves are in power, there must not be many people of insight who are willing to take the anti-thieves as the leader.

They will spontaneously seek a powerful lord to defect to.

Royal blood is the first choice.

After all, it is orthodox, and everyone prefers to be famous when they make contributions.

"Mr. Yang is right." Lou Yu nodded and said, "Let Zhou Man and He Dazhou each lead more than a thousand people to Yizhou and Jizhou government offices, it is best to persuade them to return peacefully."

"Yes!"

After the meeting, Gyeongju entered a state of preparation.

Everyone is twisted into one rope.

The common people in Gyeongju knew that the situation outside was tense, and they knew that His Royal Highness wanted to "be diligent", so they worked overtime one after another, just to produce more supplies for Gyeongju.

Just when Zhou Man and He Dazhou were about to set off to persuade them to return, Lou Yu received a letter from the frontier army in Jizhou.

The letter was written by Wen Qi, and the meaning is very clear: the Jizhou frontier army, all obey your orders!

The frontier army is also an army. In addition to stationing on the frontier, of course they can also participate in the "Qin King".

There are 5 to 1 frontier troops in Jizhou. At present, the Dasheng border is stable. Even if only [-] people are dispatched from the frontier army, it will be a great help to Lou Yu.

The frontier troops surrendered, and the prefect of Jizhou naturally surrendered with the garrison guarding the city.

Anyway, Prince Qing's son is an orthodox royal family, and defecting to him is not considered a betrayal of the court.

Jizhou has completely become Lou Yu's territory.

Hong Yan, the prefect of Yizhou, is a soft bone. Why not do it if he can hold a golden thigh in troubled times?

As soon as they heard that Qingzhou sent troops, they immediately surrendered the city.

On May [-]th, Lou Yu, Prince Qing's son, published the article "Discussing Shi Ming", calling on people of insight all over the world to crusade against the rebel Shi Ming, to correct the chaos, to restore the law and order, and to rectify the government.

As soon as the call to action came out, the world was shaken.

Later, Fan Yusheng, the prefect of Cangzhou, Hong Yan, the prefect of Yizhou, and Lang Ping, the prefect of Jizhou, all issued a letter to respond to the call, and joined the prince of Prince Qing to obey his orders.

Lou Yu's name finally resounded throughout the world!

When the news reached Yuezhou, the King of Yue was stunned for a while, then laughed and cried: "It turns out that our Lou family is not all cowards!"

The King of Yue thought that he was the only one secretly recruiting soldiers, but he didn't expect that there was another person in this world who had such ambitions.

Still a young man who is not as good as a weak crown.

An admirable opponent!

After Shi Ming proclaimed himself emperor, he began to reward his subordinates wantonly.

After the award, those court officials had to be dealt with.

Some officials are soft-boned, and they obey when they are frightened.

Some are stubborn, and refuse to recognize the legitimacy of Shi Ming's ascension to the throne.

Among them, Tai Fu Fan Wenzai and Ning Enhou Xie Xin are the representatives.

Fan Wenzai has been upright and upright all his life, how could he bow his head to the rebels?

Xie Xin also would rather die than surrender.

Shi Ming was so angry that he wanted to kill the two of them directly.

Someone comforted him: "Fan Wenzai is highly respected and has countless disciples. If he cut it off directly, those literati and disciples might attack him in groups."

Shi Ming's throne is inherently unstable, so it will directly arouse the dissatisfaction of the people in the world, and the gain outweighs the loss.

Shi Ming suppressed his anger: "What about the thank you letter? He can't kill him either?"

"Xie Xin is already useless, Xie Ce is also disabled, and Xie Mao is just a waste. Your Majesty does not need to kill them all. It is better to keep them and show your generosity and love to the world."

Shi Ming had a guilty conscience and naturally wanted a good reputation, so he agreed.

As for other officials, those who should be killed should be killed, and those who should be persuaded should be persuaded.

It was the first time for Shi Ming to be an emperor, so of course he had to enjoy being an emperor.

This feeling of being in power and being flattered by everyone made him feel like he was in heaven.

Until the Gyeongju call to action came.

Shi Ming was stunned.

"Qingzhou?" he asked, "Is Prince Qing's son very powerful?"

Xuanji Xingjun is now named General Wuwei, and he came out to report: "Return to Your Majesty, I have heard from the refugees that I went to Qingzhou when I couldn't live. It seems that Qingzhou's refugee policy is very good. "

Shi Ming also heard about it, but he didn't believe it at all: "Aren't those people lying?"

Everyone has heard about the reception of refugees in Gyeongju, but how many people really believe it?

It's remote and far away, except for the really desperate victims, who would want to go there?

Therefore, few people take it to heart and just listen to it as a joke.

But now, the prince of Qingzhou is so bold that he openly issued a crusade against them, scolding Shi Ming and Tianshengjiao for nothing more than a group of rebels, and calling on people with lofty ideals to join the team of crusade against rebels.

Is this still available?

This was simply poking Shi Ming's lungs!

Shi Ming was furious: "This son of Laoshi, hurry up and send troops to destroy him!"

"But Your Majesty, Gyeongju is far away from the capital. If we send troops there, the capital will be empty at that time. What if other forces take advantage of it?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, we can't act rashly now!"

All forces want to pull Shi Ming down, but they restrain each other.

Shi Ming, on the other hand, can't move without authorization, he can only hold on to the capital firmly, slowly expand his power, and slowly plan.

"Then there is no other way?" Shi Ming's eyes were filled with depression.

Being scolded and not being able to call back is really aggrieved!

Moreover, this Prince Qing's son is of royal blood, it is indeed reasonable to crusade against him, and Shi Ming doesn't even have the confidence to scold him back.

"Your Majesty, the reason why you raised troops and raised troops is because Emperor Zhengqian perverted and poisoned the people. You did this to seek justice for the people of the world. What you did was in line with the laws of heaven. Why do you say that you are a traitor?"

When Shi Ming heard this, Dragon's heart was overjoyed.

"Then is there any way for Aiqing to justify our name?"

"If Fan Wenzai can write an article for His Majesty, everyone in the world will clear up their misunderstandings about His Majesty."

Fan Wenzai can be said to be the leader of the literati group. If he is willing to write articles praising Shi Ming, many literati will follow suit.

Shi Ming was overjoyed when he heard the words, but worried: "Fan Wenzai has been refusing to surrender, so why would he write articles to praise me?"

"He's not afraid of death, so doesn't he care about the lives of everyone in the Fan family?"

Shi Ming was overjoyed: "Good!"

Fan Wenzai was imprisoned in Fan Mansion.

Fan's family was not prosperous, and Fan Wenzai had a son who didn't like reading by nature, but liked to study business. Regardless of the family's opposition, he married a merchant girl and gave birth to Fan Yusheng.

That's all.

Unexpectedly, his son and daughter-in-law went out to do business, but were unfortunately killed by bandits, leaving only a large stall of shops and money.

This is why Fan Yusheng can afford a kaleidoscope.

Fortunately, Fan Yusheng was sensible and intelligent since he was a child. If there is no accident, he will be able to shine on the Fan family in the future.

However, Fan Yusheng had no intention of becoming an official, and over time, Fan Wenzai gave up.

As long as your life is safe and happy.

Unexpectedly, Fan Yusheng went to Cangzhou to become the magistrate quietly using the relationship of the Fan family.

When Fan Wenzai found out, the matter was a foregone conclusion, so he could only helplessly shake his head and sigh.

Now it seems that Fan Yusheng's choice was correct, otherwise he would be trapped in this filthy capital.

Mrs. Fan came in with a food box, and when she saw him sighing, she comforted her and said, "We are both getting old, so we will go to see Lord Yan together. Asheng is far away in Cangzhou, and nothing will happen for the time being. What else do you have to complain about?" of?"

"I sigh that I lost my sight."

Fan Wenzai was so depressed that he couldn't even take care of his long beard.

Mrs. Fan brought out a plate of vegetarian dishes and four steamed buns, "That's all for today, let's eat."

He said again: "Who used to tell me every day that His Royal Highness is generous and benevolent? Why, have you changed your mind now?"

Fan Wenzai said with a wry smile: "The prince is indeed lenient, which is an advantage, but in troubled times, this is also a disadvantage."

"You might as well just say cowardly!" Mrs. Fan hit the nail on the head.

Fan Wenzai: "..."

After all, he was his student, he couldn't bear to say harsh words.

Mrs. Fan hehe: "The prince of a country, if you don't save the monarch in times of crisis, it is disloyal; taught him?"

"..."

Fan Wenzai covered his face in shame.

He didn't teach well!

"I didn't mention you." Mrs. Fan gave him a white look. "It's not that he doesn't understand the principles you taught him, it's just that the danger is coming, and he doesn't care about those principles."

Fan Wenzai sighed deeply.

To be honest, it is not a bad thing for the prince to escape from the capital while taking advantage of the chaos.

It is unwise to head-on with the Tiansheng Sect. It is absolutely no problem to save your life first and wait for the opportunity to make a comeback.

It's just that Fan Wenzai was a little bit chilled after all.

If it was the Third Prince who did this, no one else could blame him.

But the prince is the crown prince of a country, so he can't.

Before the old couple finished their meal, the palace sent someone to notify Fan Wenzai to write an article within three days to express his praise for Shi Mingrong's ascension to the Great Treasure.

Fan Wenzai almost lost his breath.

He refused without hesitation: "I would rather die than write."

"..."

When Shi Ming got the news, he was so angry that he smashed many beautiful porcelain and jade.

These are things that he could never see before, but now they can be destroyed at will.

"If he doesn't write, kill his whole family!"

Internal attendant: "Your Majesty, Fan Wenzai has no other relatives in the mansion except his wife. His grandson is serving as the magistrate in Cangzhou, and he has surrendered to Prince Qing's son."

Shi Ming now has a headache when he hears "Prince Qing's son".

If it wasn't for the crusade issued by the prince, he wouldn't have asked Fan Wenzai to write an article.

"Then force him to submit with his wife's life!"

"As ordered."

fan mansion.

Fan Wenzai and his old wife were sitting in the study waiting to die.

Suddenly, thick smoke seeped through the crack of the door, and the flames outside the house burst into the sky.

Someone outside exclaimed: "It's flooded! It's flooded! Put out the fire!"

The two stood up suddenly, subconsciously wanting to rush out of the room, but stopped at the same time, their eyes met, each knew the other's choice.

Fan Wenzai held his old wife's hand, tears welling up in his eyes: "I'm the one who got you in trouble."

Mrs. Fan smiled freely: "I will be content if I can die together."

The entire Fan Mansion was on fire, and the blazing flames gushed out a billowing heat wave, which was so painful.

The guards outside the house tried their best to put out the fire, but the fire became more and more intense.

After Fan Wenzai and his wife sat at the desk, they held each other's hands tightly and went to death calmly.

Suddenly, someone turned over from the window, and under the surprised eyes of the old couple, he chopped them to the ground with a hand knife.

Two more people jumped in.

The three worked together to rescue the two.

Taking advantage of the chaos in the city, Fan Wenzai and Mrs. Fan were secretly sent out of the capital.

When Fan Wenzai woke up, he found himself in a carriage with his wife sitting beside him, looking at the scenery outside the window leisurely.

"You're awake." Mrs. Fan greeted him with a smile.

Her sideburns are covered with silver threads, and under the sunlight, she has a calm and elegant luster.

Fan Wenzai was puzzled: "What's going on?"

"I don't know either." Mrs. Fan could think about it, "I was rescued anyway, so what are you thinking about?"

"Then am I a deserter?"

Mrs. Fan gave him a white look: "If you feel guilty, you can learn from Prince Qing and write a few articles on crusade against rebels. Isn't it more valuable than death?"

Fan Wenzai still felt that his integrity was humiliated, so he lifted the curtain and asked the driver: "Who are you? Why are you saving me? Where are you taking me?"

The coachman said nothing.

Mrs. Fan couldn't help being happy.

"What are you in a hurry for? At worst, you'll die."

Fan Wenzai sighed: "If this trick of 'escape the shell of the golden cicada' is spread, won't it make the world laugh at it?"

"..."

A few days later, the carriage arrived in Cangzhou.

Fan Yusheng stood at the gate of the city and greeted him personally.

"Grandson welcomes grandfather and grandmother."

Fan Wenzai suppressed the joy in his heart, but let out a cold snort on his face.

Mrs. Fan was very down-to-earth, she said with a smile on her face: "Our A Sheng has grown taller and handsome."

"Grandmother is as beautiful as before." Fan Yusheng was sincerely happy.

Mrs. Fan said: "When we saw the boundary marker of Cangzhou in the carriage, we knew it was you who did it. Our family, A Sheng, has grown up."

Fan Yusheng said with a smile: "Grandmother and grandfather have been working hard all the way, and they will go into the city with their grandson first."

After entering the mansion, after Fan Wenzai and Mrs. Fan finished washing and recuperating, Fan Yusheng came to plead guilty.

"Grandfather, please forgive my grandson for saving you and grandma on his own initiative."

Fan Wenzai reprimanded: "You are indeed making your own decisions! If you do this, where will the Fan family be famous!"

Fan Yusheng raised his head suddenly, his eyes were completely different, and he said loudly: "Could it be that in my grandfather's heart, the common people in the world are not as famous as the Fan family!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Fan Wenzai was so angry that his beard trembled wildly.

Fan Yusheng did not give in: "The first emperor was greedy for ease and disregarded the life and death of the people in the world, causing the world to suffer from misery and the people's livelihood. The third prince colluded with the Holy Sect to force the palace, lusting for power, and also disregarding the safety of the people. His Royal Highness seems to be kind, but he is in danger. Abandon the city and flee at this critical moment. Grandfather, is this the imperial court you want to pledge allegiance to!"

Fan Wenzai stared: "Are you persuading me to surrender for Prince Qing's son?!"

"Grandfather, you have traveled all the way from the capital, and what kind of scenes you saw, do you still remember?"

Fan Wenzai was silent.

"If you have free time, you can go out and have a look at Cangzhou City, or you can go to Qingzhou to have a look. If this still doesn't convince you, grandson will stop saying these things in the future."

Fan Wenzai stared at him without speaking.

"All right, all right, we quarreled when we first met, it gave me a headache." Mrs. Fan broke the silence, "Ah Sheng is right, this is my first time in Cangzhou, old man, just take a stroll with me."

With her reconciliation, Fan Wenzai and Fan Yusheng's expressions softened slightly.

Fan Yusheng said: "You two elders rest early, and the grandson will go to the government office to deal with official business first."

Early the next morning, Fan Wenzai recovered enough energy, and under the persuasion of his old wife, "reluctantly" got into the carriage.

The carriage departed from Fan's Mansion and headed for Cangzhou City Street.

Compared with the decadence of the past, the current Cangzhou City is full of curtains, and the horses and horses are parallel to each other. It is a bustling and prosperous scene.

Mrs. Fan raised the curtain, looked at it and smiled: "Oh, our Asheng is really good. He has been the magistrate for a long time, and he managed Cangzhou so well!"

"Don't put gold on his face," Fan Wenzai said angrily, "If he has this ability, will he still serve Gyeongju?"

Mrs. Fan couldn't help laughing: "According to what you said, this Prince Qing's son is really capable, otherwise our proud A Sheng would not be willing to be the magistrate."

"Humph!"

The carriage shuttled through the bustling market, and headed towards the Cangzhou harbor.

After the expansion of Cangzhou Seaport, it is particularly magnificent.

The harbor is flat and open, and the harbor is full of roads, horses swallowing cars, and continuous convoys are coming from Gyeongju along the concrete official road.

At the port, unloading unloading, loading loading, countless cargo merchants and boatmen coming and going, the sun is rising like a rising sun, and the flames are dancing brightly.

The golden sun reflected on the sea, gorgeous and dazzling.

Mrs. Fan watched and shed tears silently.

"That's great," she said with a smile.

Fan Wenzai's throat was tight and his eyes were reddish.

How long has he not seen such a prosperous and prosperous scene?

Everything in front of him is different from the vain prosperity of the capital.

The prosperity of the capital is supported by people all over the world, but Cangzhou is cultivated by the people bit by bit.

And behind all this, it is inseparable from the painstaking efforts of the person in charge, and the food and clothing.

It is said that Prince Qing's son is only 17 years old.

He is only 17 years old.

Fan Wenzai was silent for a while, then told the driver: "Go to the government office."

When the carriage arrived at the government office, Fan Yusheng had already been notified.

Fan Yusheng, Lou Wei, and Fang Lin immediately came out to greet them.

"Mr. Fan, Mrs. Fan." Lou Wei gave a junior salute.

Fan Wenzai cupped his hands and said, "I have seen King Cang."

Mrs. Fan also returned the gift.

Fang Lin's eyes were red and he said: "Boy, ask Fan Gong'an, and ask Madam well."

"This is Ah Lin from the Fang family, right?" Mrs. Fan smiled kindly, "I didn't expect you to be in Cangzhou."

Seeing the concern in Fang Lin's eyes, Fan Wenzai comforted him: "Fang Xiaolang, don't worry. Fang Shilang left Beijing on business before, so he didn't suffer from such difficulties. Presumably he will come to reunite with you after he hears the news."

Fang Lin breathed a sigh of relief, and said solemnly, "Thank you Fan Gong."

Several people entered the inner office together.

Fan Wenzai saw the office documents on the table at a glance, and couldn't help feeling quite novel.

"what is this?"

"This is the quarterly report," Fan Yusheng explained, "it needs to be submitted to Gyeongju."

"What is this?"

"This is a standard official document, which avoids redundant nonsense and is convenient for office work."

Seeing that Fan Wenzai continued to ask, Fan Yusheng couldn't help laughing and said: "Grandfather, grandson still has a lot of business to deal with, why don't I show you some books?"

"it is good."

So, Fan Wenzai took Mrs. Fan together and found a small corner in the inner yamen to sit down.

Fan Yusheng deliberately selected several documents and brochures, handed them to Fan Wenzai, and said, "Grandfather, these are all the painstaking efforts of His Royal Highness, please read carefully."

Fan Wenzai waved his hand impatiently.

The sunlight outside the window sprinkled on the documents through the glass window, which was a bit dazzling.

Fan Wenzai didn't pay attention at first, but it took him a while to react, and he looked up quickly.

He saw the bright and clean glass windows.

Through the glass window, he also saw the small pond and green bamboos outside.

Fan Wenzai was stunned.

He patted his old wife's arm: "Old woman, did I read it wrong?"

Mrs. Fan followed his gaze.

"what is this?"

She couldn't help reaching out to touch it, and her fingertips touched something hard and cold.

Fan Wenzai suddenly lowered his head to flip through the brochure, then pointed to a paragraph on the brochure, and said silently: "The renovation of the government office requires wood, cement, sandstone, glass..."

"This is glass." Lou Wei suddenly appeared and explained with a smile, "It was made by the Gyeongju factory."

Fan Wenzai: "..."

After living for so many years, I suddenly found myself a frog in a well.

Lou Wei continued: "If Duke Fan and his wife are interested, they can go to Gyeongju New City to have a look. We built an official road from Cangzhou to Gyeongju. If the carriage is fast, we can arrive in half a day."

Mrs. Fan said decisively: "Go to Gyeongju New City!"

Fan Wenzai couldn't resist her, and agreed "reluctantly".

Knowing that Fan Wenzai was coming to Gyeongju, Lou Yu ordered people to take care of him and not neglect him.

"A Yu doesn't intend to personally
