Since then, Wohua Mountain from Zong Kun order, raise troops to attack Qin, with Liang Jin, Hu Yanwu, Cheng Huan, Wang Xiang as generals, 70,000 people knocked on the door of the Qin Dynasty.

In the capital of the Qin Dynasty, on the shore of Luanlai Lake, a small servant in the palace bowed to the back, bowed his head to the angler and said: "Lord Yushi, the Seventh Prince has already found a good position for you in the palace, just wait for you to go and let Your Majesty restore your official position, and at the same time confer a first-class doctor, and the status is on par with Prime Minister Wen, this is really great news!"

Gao Xin didn't look back, and said indifferently: "Go back and tell the Seven Princes, I am ill, these sons may not be able to accept the separation, and my official position will be decided after I am well from my illness, and I must not be killed easily, so as not to dampen the enterprising spirit of the officials of the same dynasty." ”

The little guy was slightly surprised, although he was sick, how could he say that he was sick while fishing by the lake, but he knew that this adult had a very good relationship with the Seventh Prince, and he didn't dare to offend, so he could only say yes again and again.

Gao Xinlin said again: "If you see the Seventh Prince, don't forget to let me come to me, take a break, the sooner the better." ”

The little guy said, "Yes." However, the Seven Princes are busy with the affairs of the palace, and I am afraid that they will not have any extra time......"

Gao Xinli raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "Just say it and listen to him, you don't have to worry about the rest." ”

The little guy bowed and stepped back.

After a while, an old man in a gorgeous robe with a hat came here slowly, looked at Gao Xinlin, and said, "It seems that in this troubled world, only you are the most idle." ”

Gao Xinlin was slightly stunned and said, "Sit down, there is a cushion here." The more peaceful my life is, the more likely I am to be drawn into the center of the storm, and my situation is much more dangerous now than that of the Prime Minister, and perhaps one wrong step will break my bones. ”

The person who came took off the hat, and it was Wen Yuan, the prime minister of the dynasty, his white hair looked quite old, and after a little hesitation, he still sat next to Gao Xinlin, and said: "I've heard that the imperial history is awarded a doctor, even the prime minister is a little inferior to such an official position, among the ministers, with this position, you are the chief, what else is not satisfied, now the seventh prince is slowly regent, and he treats you well." ”

Gao Xinlin sighed lightly and said: "It's not bad for me, just for the children of the royal family, there is always some arrogance, if he can listen to my advice, don't show the hole cards so quickly, maybe you can really achieve the foundation." But now, he always wants to become an emperor one day, but he doesn't see this complicated situation clearly, and I'm afraid that the end will be ugly!"

Wen Yuan laughed and said: "Your opinion is different from others, now His Majesty's authority is gradually being hollowed out, it seems that dozens of cities around are under the control of the Seven Princes, and the hundreds of officials in the capital have also shown favor to the Seven Princes, and when the ceremony is completed, His Majesty the Emperor will sign the Zen Decree Order, and the Seven Princes will be the real emperor, and you are the first hero." ”

Gao Xinlin said coldly: "If there is no Four Princes Qiuju, it may really be like this, I can also hold my first-class doctor's official position to shine on the lintel, the Prime Minister should know very well that Wohua Mountain and Daming Cave are all mountain bandits, and they can't protect the national capital without the blessing of luck, but the Four Princes are different, he should have led the soldiers accumulated for many years to cleanse the entire Qin Dynasty at this moment, right? It's really ridiculous, these people in the capital don't know yet." ”

Wen Yuan said: "At the beginning, the four princes once praised you, saying that you are Luan to hide the eagle, and you will definitely cause trouble in the imperial capital, and sure enough, your talent is not comparable to ordinary strategists." I didn't even find out that you, a degraded person, actually have such wisdom, if it weren't for the four times, I'm afraid this Qin Dynasty would be in your hands. ”

"So, are you admitting that you colluded with Qiu Jue and secretly designed the dynasty?" Gao Xinlin threw the fishing rod violently, looked at Wen Yuan and said: "Some time ago, at the birthday banquet of His Majesty the Prince of Qin, you took the initiative to act against the tone of Emperor Qin, which was to discredit yourself and leave it vacant, so that everyone could relax their surveillance of you. You tried to discredit the four princes, it is difficult to distinguish between the true and the false, it is really to let the four princes stay outside, I think the big prince's golden gull turned into a black eagle, you should have started to get it, right? The four princes' hands were not stretched out so long. ”

Wen Yuan shook his head with a smile, and did not answer Gao Xinling's words, only said: "I used to think that there was no talent to support among the princes, only the second prince was benevolent and benevolent for the people, and had the wisdom of Anbang, but after that incident, the second prince died, and there was no heir." After all, the fourth prince is a little more vicious, he can use the world as bait, and he can take the lives of the people of the whole country as a plan, this kind of person may be able to become a strong man, but there is no way to become a generation of benevolent monarchs. ”

Listening to Wen Yuan's spicy answer, he didn't admit anything in his words, he was just talking about other things, but he had already said everything he wanted to know, he couldn't help frowning, and said impatiently: "But you, an old minister, can't be neutral after all, or are you biased towards him, right?"

Wen Yuan said with a smile: "The Qin Dynasty is already extremely decaying, and it needs someone to clean all the patterns, only in this way can the Qin Dynasty be reborn from the ashes, this is my hope, and it is also the hope of the people of Dawn, but Pang Lu is a victim of the new dynasty after all, even I am a little emotional." ”

Gao Xin said: "Okay, Prime Minister, Pang Lu's body has been transported back by Lu Xingyang and Li Zhengxing, according to the time, it will be here today, if you really have a heart, you should go and see." ”

Wen Yuan said: "Forget it today, everyone is already dead, and the deceased is all over, not to mention that he is now a criminal minister of the Qin Dynasty, I shouldn't see him." ”

Gao Xin said: "Sure enough, he is extremely vicious and self-proclaimed prime minister, after a long period of washing, after all, he has become as cruel as reality." ”

Wen Yuan was slightly stunned, and said: "You can't comment on this, the fourth prince said that he knows that everything is planned by you in secret, if you want to crack it, you can use your means to give it a try." ”

Gao Xin said: "It seems that the Prime Minister doesn't plan to hide it. But it's okay, Prime Minister, you say, if I catch you, will the four princes have any scruples?"

Wen Yuan smiled: "Is it useful? I'm alone now, no one knows anything about me, with this kind of means, the fourth prince won't care in the slightest, after all, I'm just an idler now, and I don't have any value at all." Perhaps my greatest ability is to watch the Qin Dynasty rise again!"

Wen Yuanlang smiled and walked away, leaving Gao Xinlin slightly distracted.

"I'm a high-tech newcomer, but I'm not a lamb to be slaughtered!"

At the end of the battle of sulfur and fire, Kou Xiuyong rebelled, forcibly gathered soldiers and horses to betray the management of Lu Xingyang, Li Zhengxing was seriously injured, Sun Huan and Lou finally stayed away, Jin Lin was dead, and no one in the army suppressed this general who was born with a backbone, so Kou Xiuyong took tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to hide in the mountains and forests, and there has been no news so far.

Lu Xingyang and Li Zhengxing took dozens of guards, pulled Pang Lu's coffin, and slowly marched from Jiaozhi City to the capital, which took a long time before they arrived smoothly, during which they also encountered several waves of mountain bandits.

After arriving in the capital, no officials came to greet them, although many people knew that this army was a team headed for the south to suppress bandits, but the people only knew about the earth-shattering crimes committed by Pang Lu in Jiaozhi City, and any officials also kept it secret, for fear of getting into trouble.

For such a scene, Lu Xingyang had already guessed at all, and glanced at this capital city with a population of one million coldly, and a smile lifted on the corner of his mouth.

"General Li Zhengxing, you can go back to Li's house to report to Li Sima, and then you can go up to the court to report the battle situation to His Majesty the Emperor, and I will also take Governor Pang's body to the military department, after all, all the pre- and post-war processing is authorized by the military department, and this process will naturally not change. Lu Xingyang pointed to the fork in the road, one was a remote road for the military headquarters, and the other was a road leading to all sides.

Li Zhengxing frowned tightly and said: "Otherwise, I will go with me, those people in the military department are not easy to deal with, and if you want to give Governor Pang a certain place to be settled, you alone are a little lacking in words after all, I am the son of Sima of the dynasty, they may give me a face and avoid some embarrassment." After all, the current situation is no longer like the time when we went on the expedition. ”

Lu Xingyang spat to the side and said: "Go back, I can do it alone, you should have heard that it is now the regent of the Seventh Prince, His Majesty the Emperor has lost some authority, maybe he is not even qualified to adjudicate and judge this war, you are not good now, but it will be bad." ”

Li Zhengxing hesitated again and again, and said: "Governor Pang Lu once warned us before his death, until the end of the war, we must push all the blame on him, there is a way to be disqualified from the emperor's order, and now that the governor has also passed away, we still try our best to protect ourselves, only in this way, can we have the opportunity to wash away the sins of the governor in the future." ”

"Clean, Li Zhengxing, you think things too simply, what happened in Jiaozhi City, in a short period of time, everyone in the Qin Dynasty knows, naturally someone is spreading it behind the scenes, and the people of the world are leisurely, they already have a standard for judging right and wrong, and we can't interfere. Lu Xingyang shook his head and said, "The governor knew from the beginning that once the battle of sulfur and fire began, there would inevitably be such a result, but he was fearless, and this is the most admirable thing about the governor." ”

Li Zhengxing pondered for a moment and said: "Since this is the case, then I can only talk about it later, I will go back to the house, you can do it yourself." ”

Lu Xingyang nodded, watched Li Zhengxing leave, and walked towards the military headquarters with a group of entourage, the coffin was heard at the gate of the military department, and only some soldiers came out to supervise, and after a while, several high-ranking officials of the military department appeared, Lu Xingyang recognized that these were once famous generals on the battlefield, and nodded to Pang Lu before the expedition, and at this moment he looked at Pang Lu's coffin proudly, and did not speak for a long time.

The senior official surnamed Sun waved his hand and said, "Lu Xingyang, right? The junior of the Lu family, although the family is in decline, he still has some strength in the capital, although you have the responsibility to sit in this war, but at the moment, His Majesty has not yet made a public trial, and you go back to the house to wait for the announcement, and we will take over the affairs here." ”

The high-ranking official was about to order the soldiers to carry Pang Lu's coffin in, but Lu Xingyang put one hand on the coffin and said coldly: "Lord Sun, according to the process, you should sign a document with me, without the evidence that you received the body of Governor Pang, I have no way to hand over this coffin to you." ”

Several high-ranking officials frowned, they no longer wanted to be so cumbersome, who would have expected this young general to be so ignorant of the world, but instead scolded them.

Among them, there was a high-ranking official surnamed Liu, who said: "The military department is in charge of all war supplies and personnel arrangements, and the recruitment, life and death of all soldiers and generals are managed by our military department.

Lu Xingyang said: "I'm just a small six-rank general, naturally I don't dare to interfere, but the necessary process is still needed, after all, this is a rule promulgated by His Majesty, and we, as courtiers, have no right to distort it, right?

The high-ranking official surnamed Sun was furious: "You kid, you don't know how to lift." We do our best to do things for Your Majesty, how dare we have such thoughts, just because Pang Lu has committed a serious crime, even if he dies, he cannot be exempted, and we are just trying to implicate more people, so we want to secretly restrain it, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble......"

"Then ask a few adults to sign the paperwork and hand over the voucher!" Lu Xingyang bowed, his face frosty.

Several high-ranking officials of the military department looked at Lu Xingyang together, and they didn't know if this Lu Xingyang was for Mingzhe Bao or wanted to give himself a talisman, so they didn't hesitate to provoke a few of them, but when they were suspicious in their hearts, they had to complete this process.

The high-ranking official surnamed Liu approached Lu Xingyang, and said in a low voice: "Even if you have a certificate, you don't want to be stable, Pang Lu has done such a crime, you generals, although you will not sit and die, but there is absolutely no good fruit to eat." ”

Lu Xingyang smiled lightly, and said in a loud voice: "This doesn't bother Lord Liu, it's better to give me the vouchers and documents quickly." ”

Several high-ranking military officials were angry, but they still took out the documents and seals, and signed them and handed them to Lu Xingyang after hearing them one by one, but Lu Xingyang still didn't seem to want to leave.

The high-ranking official surnamed Sun shouted: "Lu Xingyang, although you are a meritorious minister, you can't ignore the laws of the imperial court in vain, our military headquarters is the land, how can you stay here for a long time, and don't leave quickly?"

Lu Xingyang said: "My lords, if I remember correctly, before the Battle of Sulfur and Fire began, His Majesty had already issued an order to confer the Governor of Pang Lu as the Generalissimo of the Northern Soldiers and Horses, and your military department had also rushed to produce the armor, swords, talismans, tokens, flags and other items belonging to the Generalissimo of the Northern Soldiers and Horses, but why didn't they be sent regularly?"

The high-ranking official surnamed Sun said: "Why? Pang Lu wantonly killed the people in Jiaozhi City, causing the prestige of our Qin Dynasty among the people to drop greatly, what face does he have as the generalissimo of soldiers and horses? Every generalissimo of soldiers and horses is an existence capable of suppressing one side, Pang Lu is old in the past, and now he is dead, there is no need for us to let the title of generalissimo of soldiers and horses in the north be tarnished on the head of a criminal minister." ”

Lu Xingyang said: "But I received the news that Your Majesty issued this edict a month and a half before the start of the Battle of Sulfur and Fire, according to the production speed of your military department, those things should have been made long ago, and the road from the capital to Jiaozhi City is not blocked, but why didn't the governor receive it?

The high-ranking official surnamed Liu reprimanded: "Lu Xingyang, don't you want to kill yourself? For example, who doesn't know today that Pang Lu is a traitor who has committed a heinous crime, and the people can't wait to eat him, this matter has long passed, and Pang Lu is dead now, how can you accept these things? If you deliberately provoke trouble again, don't blame us for taking you down!"

The soldiers around him were about to move, and Lu Xingyang waved his sleeves and said, "In order to cover up your crimes, you forcibly design a crime against me?" I want to ask a few adults, is this Qin Dynasty a dynasty of His Majesty, or a dynasty of several adults, and is this Qin Dynasty a rule of His Majesty, or a few adults?"

Several high-ranking officials had ugly faces, in the face of Lu Xingyang's pressure, they had no way, Willy had no effect on Lu Xingyang, and the senior official surnamed Sun said: "Naturally, Your Majesty's order is important, we should obey Your Majesty's will, lead the army, and prepare for war." ”

Lu Xingyang shouted: "Then why did Your Majesty issue an edict ordering you to make the things of the generalissimo of the northern soldiers and horses, but you did not send it? The governor of Panglu is guilty of the last and the merit is in the front, and His Majesty has not personally ordered the edict to be withdrawn, so the governor of Panglu is still the generalissimo of the northern soldiers and horses, and he will not take out all the objects, and return it to the generalissimo of the north!"

Zheng Zheng said coldly, and no one was afraid.

Several high-ranking officials turned pale, and they didn't dare to speak.

The high-ranking official surnamed Sun stepped forward and said, "But Pang Lu is dead, how can I give those things?"

Lu Xingyang said coldly: "The Lord will be dead, the body is in front of the armor, the sword is put into the coffin, the flag is placed in front of the coffin, and the token is held by the spirit keeper, don't you know?"

Several high-ranking officials were submissive, and they didn't have the slightest temper at the moment, so they obediently found all the items belonging to the generalissimo of the northern soldiers and horses, and sent their men to place them one by one, and then Lu Xingyang's face eased slightly.

The high-ranking official surnamed Sun said: "Since everything has been prepared, can the body of the generalissimo of the northern soldiers and horses be collected by our military department? ”

Lu Xingyang nodded, looked at the sky, and said secretly: "Governor, I will help you come back with your glory." ”

Several high-ranking officials were acting, but they saw Lu Xingyang take out a fire fold from his arms and light it.

The high-ranking official surnamed Sun was shocked, took a few steps back, and shouted, "Lu Xingyang, what are you going to do?"

Lu Xingyang said with a smile: "I've been doing Infernal Affairs for so long, and I've been a spy with many people, and I'm a little tired, but now I can finally close my eyes." ”

I saw Lu Xingyang put the fire fold on top of the coffin, the coffin ignited instantly, Lu Xingyang leaned against the coffin, and said, "This thousand-year-old sin also has my share." ”

"It's water oil and oil, come and put out the fire!"

But the flames engulfed, and the silhouette of one person and one coffin was no longer visible.
