Chapter 51: Leading the Troops to the Battle
Luo Bingwang's two articles hurt Zhou Ming a lot, but how these two articles passed many audits, were engraved and engraved, and appeared in the "Zihua Anthology" issued by Zihua Bookstore, it is not Luo Bingwang's problem. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It's inside the Zihua Book House, and there are ghosts inside!
Because as early as the beginning of the establishment of Zihua Bookstore, Zhou Ming formulated three regulations on non-publishing, namely: those involving pornography and black affairs shall not be published, those involving officials and politics shall not be published, and those involving national policies shall not be published.
The purpose of formulating this "three no-publishing" is to avoid touching the sensitive and fragile nerves of the ruling class, and to regard Zihua Bookstore as an obstacle and to pull it out as soon as possible.
This is also why, since its establishment 20 years ago, Zihua Bookstore has been standing tall and its influence has been expanding, while similar bookstores and bookstores have not been prosperous for long and have fallen countless reasons.
But this time, the ghost in Zihua's bookstore seriously violated these three rules, not to mention, and also severely cheated him, the "boss"!
Zhou Ming was also a little puzzled: These internal ghosts, united with King Luo Bin, offended Wu Mei so much, are they not afraid of raiding the family and exterminating the clan?
However, Zhou Ming can't control the life or death of these ghosts, and now he is the worst! He is most likely to be the first to lose his head!
Fortunately, in the half month that the prison was released to visit the prison, Zhou Ming made some preparations, and the two revolvers had been secretly carried in his coat pocket and were not taken away by the jailer (mainly because these two pistols were dismantled into parts and brought into the cell one by one, the jailer didn't know what to do, plus the prison where the felons were held, the cells were made of fine iron, and ordinary people could not escape with their wings. Before, Zhou Ming didn't bring these two pistols into the palace, because the palace was searched strictly, and every time he entered the palace, he had to search his body three times, and he couldn't carry metal objects).
In addition, not far from the outside of the prison, Zhou Ming also deployed a team of elite Tian family soldiers with a number of 200 people, all equipped with bolt-action hand-pulled rifled guns and revolvers, and they could enter the prison and rescue him with just one order.
It's just that the timing of this launch, Zhou Ming has not yet determined, and now he has been transferred to a more strictly guarded death row, the news can't be spread for a while, and he has an injury on his buttocks, so he can only wait for the opportunity and make observations......
Zhou Ming waited for three days, completely unaware that the sky was boiling outside.
In Luo Bingwang's "Asking for Wu Xuanwen", Hu Xu's sentence "The demon queen Wu Mei, imprisoned celebrities, tortured and tortured, forced to write "Women's Rights" to correct her own name", not only brought great trouble to Zhou Ming, but also brought great passivity to Wu Mei.
Because of this sentence in the text, to a certain extent, it is highly close to the truth, Zhou Ming was indeed tortured with a cane, and he was also imprisoned and imprisoned, and he did not appear in front of the public for more than half a month.
People also asked themselves: If you were yourself, would you be able to persevere and save your life in the midst of torture in all kinds of ways? Tian Zihua couldn't bear it, lost some of his integrity, and wrote an article against his will, which is also reasonable, and Mr. Zihua is also a human being, not an invulnerable and omnipotent god.
As a result, in just three days, public opinion has undergone a great reversal, and countless readers and fans of Mr. Zihua have created a wave of noise and movement that even the ruling class is frightened and frightened.
The situation on the first day is as follows:
"Mr. Zihua, I blame you wrong!
"Mr. Zihua, are you really in that prison now, suffering so much torture and suffering, your life is difficult to protect, and life and death depend on the mood of the poisonous queen for a while?"
"I see, I see! Mr. Zihua was forced, it was the demon queen Wu Mei, who forced Mr. Zihua to do that unreasonable thing!"
"Rescue Mr. Zihua! Demon Queen Wu Mei, you can kill anyone you want, but you are never allowed to kill Mr. Zihua!"
The next day, people rushed to tell each other, connected in tandem overnight, thought of ways and countermeasures, and made every effort to rescue Mr. Zihua.
Some people have very extreme ideas, they want to prepare swords and weapons, go directly to the prison, and rescue Mr. Zihua; some people advocate a joint letter asking Wu Mei to release Zihua! 10,000 people sign together, and 100,000 people shout together, so they don't believe in the demon queen Wu Mei and won't let go!
But there are too many opinions, it is difficult to unify, the scholars rebelled, and it was not achieved for ten years, when the voices of these discussions and rebuttals became more and more intense, a young scholar named Li Yuanfang took the case: "Don't quarrel anymore, you don't want to quarrel, I, Yuanfang, will go and kneel in front of the Daming Palace now, don't eat, drink, or speak, and kneel to death in front of the demon queen! If she wants to kill Mr. Zihua, step over my corpse first!"
"Brother Yuanfang said it well! I'll go and sit on our knees to see if that demon queen dares to kill us!"
"I'll go too! If I can rescue Mr. Zihua, what if the head is gone?"
"Go together!
On the third day, on the wide field at the entrance of the Xuanwu Gate of the Daming Palace, a scene that shocked everyone in the palace appeared: at the gate of the Xuanwu Gate, there was a large number of literati in green clothes and high crowns, the number of which exceeded 10,000.
"Heaven and earth have righteousness, and miscellaneous manifolds. The lower part is the river mountain, and the upper part is the sun star. It is said that Haoran is full of gloom...... Wu Mei, we are here to kill us!"
"Wu Mei, can you kill Mr. Zihua and kill all the scholars in the world?"
"Wu Mei, you have killed countless people over the years, and the loyal and righteous people have been slaughtered by you! You don't think that everyone in the world obeys you, right? Ridiculous! There are tens of thousands of heads here who refuse to obey you, come! Your butcher's knife is cut down!"
"Mr. Zihua is the celebrity I admire the most, and I am very fortunate to be able to die with him in this life!"
"Qingzhou Lu Wencai came to help, boss, I work hard in prison, I can't bear it with you!"
"Qingzhou Tang Junming came to help, boss, the brothers once said, share the blessings and share the difficulties!
"Yangzhou Wang Ping came to help ......"
"Hongzhou Liu Anzhi's ......"
"Shuzhou ......"
There are also more and more literati from all over the country who came to the imperial capital to show their support, and these literati, speaking with different accents, came from all over the world and ten states in the world, and after they heard that Mr. Zihua had been unjustly imprisoned, they rushed from other places one after another, gathered outside the Xuanwu Gate to meditate, and the number of people became more and more numerous.
10,000, 20,000, 30,000......
In just one day, the number of people who meditated exceeded 30,000, and even in the imperial capital, thousands of female compatriots who admired Mr. Zihua's virtue and talent also appeared in the sit-in crowd, whining and crying, begging the Empress Dowager Wu Mei to let Mr. Zihua go and spare his life.
"Bastard, bastard! Do you really think that the mourning family will not dare to kill you? Order Zhang Xuanyu, the general of the Jin Wuwei, to lead the Imperial Forest Army to come and suppress the rebellion!"
Seeing this scene outside the palace, Wu Mei was furious and moved with boundless murderous intentions, wanting to kill all these protesters and opponents!
"The Queen Mother must not!"
Several officials around Wu Mei hurriedly dissuaded them, and one of them, Di Renjie, knelt down and persuaded: "Queen Mother, if you kill these literati and celebrities today, the whole world will rebel tomorrow!"
"Yes, the Queen Mother, these literati and celebrities are the future pillars of the Great Zhou Dynasty, if they are killed, the imperial court will have no talent to use, and they will be cut off from the scholars of the world, and my Great Zhou Guozuo will never exceed a hundred years!
The official said that the Eastern Jin Dynasty is a short-lived dynasty that exists in history, this dynasty, Guozuo is less than a hundred years, because the emperor of this dynasty, Sima Shi, usurped the throne with a conspiracy, and the country is not right, but in order to block the mouth of the world, Emperor Wen of Jin killed the hermit Kang Shuye, who was famous all over the world at that time, causing the scholars of the world to live in seclusion and escape from the world, and the talent was cut off.
"This ......"
Wu Mei took half a step back, with a hint of panic on her face, the story of the fall of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the chaos of the Nine Merchants, she is clear, the reason for the rapid demise of the Sima family, who won the country, she also knows that to explain it in two words is "loss of morality", and to explain it in three words is "loss of people's hearts".
The "people's heart" here does not refer to the hearts of the people at the bottom, these people are just ants who only want to survive and have food and clothing, the real people's hearts refer to the "hearts" of the literati subclass, if the dynasty loses the hearts of this class, it is equivalent to the computer uninstalling the operating system, driving away the steering wheel and engine, and sooner or later it will collapse and perish!
But if she loses the hearts of the people again, even if she ascends the throne and becomes the empress, the world will criticize her, and no one will work for her to defend this country that she has usurped with great difficulty.
"Queen Mother, Tian Zihua's fame and talent are far ten times better than Uncle Kang's! If you kill him, the people in the world will rebel! Then join the rebel army of Xu Jingye and others, those who are ready to move will also seize the opportunity and raise the flag, and enemy countries such as Turkic and Tufan will also invade, and the border passes will be urgent, and the beacons will be everywhere! Queen Mother, you can kill anyone you want, and Tian Zihua alone must not be killed!"
Di Renjie solemnly persuaded again.
"This ......"
Wu Mei took two more steps back, her face was pale, and she was so depressed that she almost vomited blood!
But it is not possible to regress, because it is true that as Di Renjie said, in the past two or three days, she has received a number of urgent military reports, first, after Xu Jingye of Yangzhou raised troops, the army was mighty, and even the cities of Changzhou, Runzhou, etc., approached Luoyang, which was not far from the emperor;
In addition, there was also an urgent report from the border pass of Liangzhou: Tufan Lun Zanqin and the Turkic king Ashina Gu, jointly sent 500,000 troops, after sweeping the countries of the Western Regions, they are storming Yumen Pass, if the reinforcements do not arrive, at most March, not only the land of the Western Regions will be lost, after losing the Yumen Pass, Liangzhou, the native of the Great Zhou, will also face the soldiers of these two countries!
The situation that Wu Mei is facing now can be described in eight words, that is, "fires are roasted on all sides, internal and external troubles"!
At this juncture, if you kill the celebrity Tian Zihua again, it is equivalent to pouring a bottle of gasoline on the fire......
The confidant Lai Junchen also stepped forward and whispered: "Queen Mother, if today's opposition is boiling...... The current plan is to pardon Tian Zihua's capital crime, let him out of prison, and reassure the people of the world first!"
Wu Mei thought for a while with a gloomy face, and then gritted her teeth and said: "Order: Pardon Tian Zihua's capital crime and release him from prison immediately!
"No, Queen Mother!"
……
Half a day later.
Xuanwumen Square, there was a tsunami-like cheer, but it was Mr. Zihua who had disappeared for many days, with a somewhat pale face, walking with a little limping, being supported by others, like a triumphant general, appeared in the sight of everyone, and then received a hero-like welcome, countless people arched him in the center, and warmly hugged and shook hands with him, and some people burst into tears, excitedly shouting: "Victory! We have won!"
Zhou Ming kept stretching out his hand to press down, telling them not to be too excited, and ordered someone to bring a large bucket of rice and broth, eat and talk with them, and after expressing his gratitude to countless people, he made all kinds of promises again, people's emotions finally came down, and slowly left, until the evening, after Zhou Ming and the last group of people left, the empty Xuanwu gate left only countless stinky domestic garbage.
……
Early the next morning.
Zhou Ming, who ordered someone to pack his luggage overnight and was about to take his family back to his hometown in Qingzhou, actually received a holy decree.
The holy decree said: "The Queen Mother has a decree...... Ren Tian Zihua left and right the general of Wuwei, led 50,000 troops from the Inner Government, sent troops to the Western Regions, and relieved the siege of Yumen Pass! The military situation is urgent, and he will take up his post immediately, and he must not postpone his resignation!"
What the?
Receiving this holy decree, Zhou Ming was taken aback.
What did Wu Mei want to do when she suddenly appointed herself as a general? What conspiracy was in it?
Zhou Ming immediately thought of refusing, but this holy decree was harshly worded, and there was an explanation in it, saying that he was "familiar with military affairs and understand the situation in the Western Regions...... Zhou Ming met these conditions in all aspects and was the best candidate to lead the troops.
In fact, the selection of Zhou Ming as the general who sent troops to the Western Regions was a decision made by Wu Mei and the ministers after discussing it for a long time last night, and Tian Zihua's knowledge of the army was a matter recognized by everyone, because Tian Zihua had persuaded Wu Mei countless times before, persuading her not to deal with those generals and famous generals, and making predictions, if there were no these generals and famous generals, what would happen to the surrounding frontiers, he said them one by one......
However, Wu Mei just didn't listen, now the entire Western Regions is in danger of falling, and in the hands of the imperial court, there are no decent generals, and at the last moment, he actually hit the idea on his head.
In addition, Wu Mei's move also had a purpose, that is, to suppress Zhou Ming's prestige! If he agreed to go on the expedition, 50,000 horses and horses would never be the opponent of the 500,000 Turkic and Tufan coalition forces.
Of course, Zhou Ming can resist the decree and disrespect, which gives the court the truth, of course, yesterday's petition turmoil has just passed, and the court will not do anything to him for the time being, but when all the disasters are calmed down, when Wu Mei remembers this matter, she will still turn around and clean him up!
Because of the breath in her heart, she will never swallow it!
"Zihua will take office as soon as possible and lead the army to the battle!"
To the surprise of the eunuch, Mr. Zihua, who was at the gate of the palace yesterday and made a lot of noise, only thought about it for a moment and nodded his head to receive the decree.
With the holy decree in his hand, Zhou Ming planned to plan and promise to be the general, and then let those who still not plan to let go of themselves will plant a big fight!
He sneered in his heart: "Do you think that I will fall for you, and I can't see through this little conspiracy that even idiots won't fall for it?
Because, as long as he leaves the imperial capital and kills the five martial arts masters who are still following him, in this world, even if there are ten dozen Wu Mei, he is not afraid at all!
……
Inside the palace of King Liang.
"What? Then Tian Zihua received the holy decree and agreed to lead the troops to the Western Regions? Okay, okay! Tian Zihua, I will give you the worst men and horses, the worst equipment, and the least grain and grass supplies! I want to see how you will die on the battlefield without a place to be buried!"
Still lying on the bed to recuperate from his injuries, Wu Sansi, who had completely lost his male function, sat up, sat up, a bitter hatred flashed in his eyes, gritted his teeth, and said in a voice that became a little sharp.
