Reincarnation (3)

Hearing Zheng Huchen's reminder, the head of the guard, Yan Jingyuan, walked out sideways and blocked in front of Wen Tianxiang. It was too late, it was fast, and when he moved his figure, the broken blade on his waist had already been drawn out of its sheath, and a lightning bolt was drawn in the air, just catching the table that Zheng Huchen threw down.

"Tuk, tuk, tuk, tuk" More than a dozen crossbow arrows flashing with a light blue cold light shot onto the table.

"Protect the Prime Minister!" Wan Yan Jingyuan picked up the table with a steel knife and shouted. More than thirty guards who had been prepared for a long time raised their shields and swords, and quickly formed an impermeable circle around Wen Tianxiang.

"Poison on the crossbow arrow!" The trained guards came to this conclusion from the color of the steel crossbow reflected in the sun. The crowd was in chaos, and the lively people pushed me and crowded into the roadside alleys and houses on the street. Someone was squeezed down with a vague footstep, and the person behind who was eager to escape stepped on the body of the fallen person without hesitation.

"Eliminate traitors for the country!" The Assassins hidden in the crowd slashed with their weapons and unscrupulously created chaos. In an instant, the voices of the fleeing people, the cries of the wounded and the ** of the dying sounded together, seeing that the event was about to turn into a disaster, at this moment of crisis, someone stood on a high place and shouted, "Father, old folks, have you forgotten the promise just now?" ”

"Have you forgotten your promise?" Zhang Wanan stood on the blue-gray roof, raising his arms and shouting. Wen Tianxiang went crazy today, and he will go crazy again. He has been engaged in recruit training for a long time, and he understands that if he encounters a few assassins today, he will immediately flee as a crowd of birds and beasts, and in the future, it will be difficult for the gods to summon up the courage of the gods in a critical situation.

Groups of brightly armored Breaker soldiers rushed out of the depths of the alley against the flow of people, and used their shoulder scabbards to forcibly stabilize the scurrying civilians. When encountering the suspicion of an assassin with a weapon, he will slash it with a knife, and he will not give the other party a chance to take advantage of the fire to rob at all.

"Copy guys, self-defense!" Wang honestly took dozens of soldiers and rushed to the small building where he fired cold arrows at Wen Tianxiang. At the top of the staircase, several unidentified people tried to stop him, but Wang Laoshi's guards directly bombarded him down the stairs with muskets.

The crisp sound of muskets suppressed all the noise, and the brave looked up, only to see Wang Laoshi rushing down the ground floor to the second floor like a gold-armored god of war.

"It's a centurion!" There was a cheer of surprise. The name of the iron-blooded centurion is like thunder, through the processing of the storyteller and the rendering of the newspaper, the image of Wang Laoshi, who was lazy and slippery during training at first, and later slashed Suodu, and cut the banner of Dachun Shuai in the 100,000 army has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. This is the most acceptable and honest hero of the people, and his appearance is better than any panacea for the desperate need to stabilize people's hearts.

"There are a lot of us, I'm afraid of a ball, it's a man's, copy the guy!" Wang Laoshi turned around at the top of the staircase and shouted at the people under the flute. This is his usual trick of greeting new recruits on the battlefield, and he has tried and tested everything. Sure enough, after a snap, the people who had just been just fleeing for their lives suddenly remembered the difference in numbers between themselves and the assassins, and stopped one after another.

The Assassins, who were causing chaos in the crowd, suddenly found themselves in a siege, and the people they were chasing and slashing were gone, replaced by a group of angry men. Kitchen knives, iron rods, bricks, surrounded from all sides, and a pair of angry and fanatical eyes, so that they could not hide.

"I, I, I—" An assassin tried to defend himself, but could not hide the knife in his hand and the blood on his feet. A brick slapped his head from the side, followed by another one. A knife, a wooden club, countless pairs of feet, and soon, the assassin was a mess of rotten meat.

A dozen assassins of unknown origin tried to storm Wen Tianxiang's guards, but were first slashed by the guards with broken blades, and the rest tried to flee, but were besieged by the enraged people. Their martial arts skills are not weak, but in such a dense flow of people, martial arts are not useful at all, and in a moment, they are drowned in the sea of people like a drop of water.

Wanyan Jingyuan used his body as a shield to block Wen Tianxiang behind him. The steel knife in his hand was holding half of the table, and he didn't know if it was because of excessive force or because of his nervousness, and he was constantly trembling.

The most dangerous moment had passed, and everything was turning in a favorable direction, but the pressure on the heart of the Assassin was no less than when the Assassin first appeared.

The assassins who had already thought it was impossible still appeared, and the first set of plans planned by Zeng Huan, Liu Zijun and others was officially launched with the appearance of the assassins. And Wanyan Jingyuan is a key part of this plan. Before coming to Quanzhou, Liu Zijun personally approached him, told him that there might be assassins on the way to the detriment of Lord Wen, told him to protect Lord Wen's safety no matter what, and asked him to be responsible for pointing out the real culprit behind the scenes after the assassin appeared.

"The real murderers behind the scenes are the little emperors Zhao Yu and Chen Yizhong, as long as the identity of the commander is exposed, the dynasty will have no place to stand. The people of Quanzhou will not forgive these guys who eat inside and out, and it is logical that Lord Wen put on a yellow robe. In the whole process, most of our Metropolitan Governor's Mansion are out of a forced position, and no one in the world can find out what is wrong! Liu Zijun's words at that time, Wanyan Jingyuan did not forget a word.

To be honest, who becomes the emperor, Wan Yan Jingyuan doesn't care. In the past few years of following Wen Tianxiang, he has also understood that after having the covenant, whoever becomes the emperor will not be as comfortable as before. But in comparison, Lord Wen being the emperor will definitely be more beneficial to everyone, not to mention anything else, Wanyan Jingyuan knows that once Liu Zijun and the others' plan is successful, the position of General Zhendian will inevitably fall into his hands.

However, Wan Yan Jingyuan couldn't believe that Liu Zijun's plan would be successful. Although this plan was supported by almost all the staff of the Metropolitan Governor's Office. In order to ensure its success, the careful Zeng Huan also planned two sets of backup plans.

Prime Minister Wen will definitely not be at the mercy of others, Wan Yan Jingyuan, who is familiar with Wen Tianxiang, told himself soberly. Although the plan of Liu Zijun and others was beneficial to Wen Tianxiang and harmless, without the approval of this plan, Wan Yan Jingyuan easily did not dare to implement it. Because Wanyan Jingyuan knew that Prime Minister Wen, who was generous to people, would never be as schemless as he looked from the outside, and if he was really a good man, he would not have integrated such a great force in just a few years. It will not be from the remnants of Baizhangling to develop such a big foundation.

For several years, General Zou refused to cooperate with Lord Wen, and was shelved by Lord Wen without hesitation, set aside, and then slowly subdued. Lu Xiufu tried to influence Lord Wen, but he was influenced by Lord Wen instead. Zhang Shijie and Su Liuyi tried to use the strength in their hands to fight against the Metropolitan Governor, but they were quietly taken down by Lord Wen one by one. Even if he is as unruly as Chen Hangyan, in the end, he is only a scholar! If Master Wen was a person who could be calculated by his subordinates, would he have come to this point?

Different from the previous power struggles, Prime Minister Wen's means of doing things are more subtle and gentle. He is reluctant to shed the blood of his own people, but that does not mean that he is afraid of shedding.

Therefore, along the way, Wan Yan Jingyuan was carrying twelve points of spirit. As soon as Zheng Huchen's reminder sounded, he immediately made the most reasonable response. Next, he did not point the spearhead at the Xing Dynasty as Liu Zijun requested, but commanded his subordinates to form a large circle and "protect" all the officials of the Dadu Governor's Mansion and the Xing Dynasty in the circle.

"It's broken!" Seeing that Yan Jingyuan did not make further moves for a long time, Du Gui, the head of the household, secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good. The plan to put Wen Tianxiang on the throne was the first to be proposed by him, and in his heart, Du Gui believed that his move did not have any ill will towards the governor. Wen Tianxiang had the grace of knowing him, and never looked down on him because he was a small trader, on the contrary, he always treated him as an equal, and very trustingly helped him step by step from the status of a traveling merchant to the high position of the head of the household book. This kindness will never be forgotten by Du Gui for the rest of his life. It was precisely because of this that he wanted to repay Wen Tianxiang in his own way. With the duke, the Lord Wen who sat on the throne no longer had so many people to act on the elbows, which was very beneficial to the army and the capital governor, and to the entire anti-Yuan cause. Yu Private, an emperor who advocated the equality of "scholars, farmers, industry, and merchants" and attached great importance to commerce would make Du Gui and all the businessmen and merchants behind him raise their eyebrows, and they would never feel inferior to others again.

"There is an omission in this plan that is beneficial to everyone, and that is Lord Wen himself!" When Du Gui participated in the formulation of the plan, he once predicted this. Now, he knows that his prophecy is slowly coming true. Wen Tianxiang was easily drunk by three glasses of wine, which was a trap in his eyes. Liu Zijun was deceived into the carriage by Wen Tianxiang because he cared too much about the safety of Lord Wen, or because he cared too much about the success or failure of the plan, which was equivalent to falling into another trap laid by Lord Wen. It can be said that from the very beginning, the clever Master Wen saw the game laid out by everyone, and unceremoniously destroyed this game one by one.

When he doesn't want to be caught, no one can catch him. This is the other side of Wen Tianxiang. He respects the opinions of the people, but he is not without his own opinions. He seems to be generous and weak, but he is as hard as steel at the critical moment.

Just when Du Gui was secretly remorseful, he heard Wen Tianxiang whispering behind the guards, "Have you seen it, once the people pick up the sword, their strength is absolutely beyond everyone's imagination!" ”

The power of the people? Du Gui looked out of the gaps exposed by the guards. The situation in the streets had apparently been brought under control, and with the assistance of some district chiefs, Li Zheng, and retired veterans of the Broken Army, the hurried garrison quickly restored order to the crowd. The Assassins and thugs who tried to take advantage of the fire were beaten to pieces by the armed civilians and piled up like sacks on the side of the street, warning those with ulterior motives not to follow suit.

There were no longer cold arrows shooting out of several restaurants controlled by the assassins, and the sound of "ping-pong, ping-pong" firing gradually faded away. From time to time, wounded or killed Assassins were thrown from the windows, and the garrison sergeants rushed over, whether dead or alive, tied up with ropes and threw them into a nearby alley guarded by a man.

"I really didn't expect these flat-headed people to be so bold!" Some officials muttered quietly. Walking on the streets of Quanzhou in a carriage every day, they never expected these low-level people who quarreled over a few garlic and cried for a penny to have such a reaction in the face of danger.

This kind of spontaneous behavior can no longer be attributed only to courage, but also shows the perspective of the common people. There are weapons but they don't kill innocents indiscriminately, and they have the power but they don't take advantage of the fire to rob. This kind of people has never been recorded in the history books of all dynasties.

"They are already bold, but there are always people who wish they were timid and simple-minded, so they try to make them stupid and weak, thinking that it is easy to rule, but when the foreign enemy comes, they find that they have lost the foundation of maintaining their rule!" Wen Tianxiang's gaze swept over the faces of the officials of the Xingchao Dynasty, and said with a pun: "There are people who always think too low of the people's minds, but always think of their own intelligence too high. Once they find out that their tricks are seen through by the people, they will be deceived, and they will take others as fools. didn't know that in the eyes of the people, he had already become a clown! ”

"Hehe, hehe!" Everyone laughed tacitly. Especially the few people who have a close relationship with Chen Yizhong, their faces are ever-changing, as if they have just climbed out of the dye vat.

Just a few days ago, when they discussed with Chen Yizhong how to deal with the dissatisfaction of the people if they succeeded in seizing power from Wen Tianxiang, some people also cleverly mentioned how to denounce Wen Tianxiang in the newspaper for stealing power, misleading the country and the people, and how to use force to prohibit the people from criticizing the government. Judging from today's situation, it is obvious that the effect of telling right and wrong in the newspaper may not be as great as imagined, and if you use force to subdue the people, I am afraid that if someone raises their arms among the people, their corpses will have to be placed on the side of the road like today's assassins.

"Song Rui is not afraid that people with ulterior motives will push them out of it and turn them into mobs?" Lu Xiufu squeezed in front of Wen Tianxiang with a blushing face and asked angrily.

The Assassin's appearance was unexpected, and although Deng Guangjian had already relayed Zhao's promise to him, Lu Xiufu easily connected the Assassin with his good disciple. How this matter could be satisfactorily resolved, he didn't dare to think about it. But the more important thing at the moment is obviously to remind Wen Tianxiang not to trust the people in his eyes too much.

Wen Tianxiang used incendiary words to mobilize the emotions of the people today, to help him show his strength, and to help him gain an advantage in the upcoming battle with the Xing Dynasty, which is understandable. But once the emotionally charged people are used and directed in other directions by those with ulterior motives, this uncontrollable force threatens to destroy everything they think is unpleasant.

"People are water, and water can carry boats and capsize boats. Lord Lu said that's what he meant," Wen Tianxiang put down Zeng Huan's arm, turned around with a smile, and said to Lu Xiufu.

"Exactly!" Lu Xiufu replied with anger. He was not afraid of the guards of the Breakers around him, nor of the people who were boiling in the streets. The entire Great Song Dynasty is crazy today, the young emperor Zhao Yu's rash behavior certainly makes him sad, and Wen Tianxiang's incomprehensible madness is even more desperate.

"People are water, and water can carry boats and capsize boats. And the law is the embankment, and Lord Lu, Lord Deng, and Lord Chen are the people who protect the berm. With a berm like you, why is Song Rui afraid to go with the wind! Wen Tianxiang replied lightly, and a bit of a scoundrel suddenly appeared in his smile.
