The news that the prince escaped from the palace without permission, colluded with the rebels, and intended to rebel spread inside and outside the palace overnight. Situ Bi was furious and issued an order to abolish the position of Prince Situ Mu, and announced to the world, denouncing him for disloyalty, filial piety, and crimes. He appointed 50,000 elite soldiers and 10 commanders to prepare to crusade against Situ Mu. Under the blind instigation of Situ Xi and Hehan, although Situ Bi belonged to King Yongning, the son of Zhuang Feiyu, he still established Situ Yan, who was only three years old, as the emperor's grandson.

At the same time, Situ Mu listened to Tang Bujing's advice, supported troops in Yizhou and stood on his own, changed his title to "King Ziqing", and prepared to fight against Wang's army. "The King of the Self-Purification" takes the meaning of "the pure self-purifying", which is intended to inform the people of the world that he is not a rebellious rebellious minister and thief. Tang Bujing drafted the "Letter to the World" for Situ Mu, sprinkling tens of thousands of words, every word is beautiful, and finding a justifiable reason for Situ Mu to raise troops.

Before sending out the troops, Situ Mu recited this book in front of all the soldiers, and scolded Situ Bi for only caring about refining pills, resulting in a deficit in the treasury. Moreover, he has neglected government and control for many years, which has caused many corrupt officials to take advantage of loopholes and embezzle money. The people were in dire straits, but there was not enough silver to provide disaster relief. The book also mentions that when Situ Bi was young, he also raised troops to fight against the imperial city, and fought under the banner of fighting for the people of the world. When he was embraced to the throne, he promised to support all the people of the world. But now it seems that except for the years when he just ascended the throne, his promise has long been forgotten. Situ Bi's move is to deceive the people and not believe his words. Situ Mudao said that he had written many times in the palace, but he was rejected. Be at the end of one's forbearance. Only then did he leave Yizhou and send troops to seek justice for the people of the world, which was one of them.

And now above the court, it is Zaifu Situ Xi who covers the sky with one hand. As a minister, he enjoys the courtesy of one person and ten thousand people, but he does not know how to plan his politics in his position. Instead of persuading Situ Bi to serve the people and the country and be diligent in the government, he continued to recommend alchemists for him and bewitched Situ Bi to pursue the art of immortality. In this way, he can better control the government. Now it has reached the point where Situ Xi reviews the chapters and reviews the world's major events. These ministers have been evil for many years. Bring calamity to the country and the people. What's more. When you Situ Bi supported the army and stood on his own, it was Situ Xi who helped him. The two of them crowned the indisputable Nangong clan with the title of "Demon Clan" and joined forces to exterminate the clan. But Situ Xi was originally from the Nangong clan, but he was greedy for wealth and status. Turn your back on your people. Massacre of relatives and friends. Such perfidy. has been on the king's side for a long time, and the gossip confuses the public. Kill the ministers, and return the court to innocence. This is the second one.

Therefore, this time, the banner played by Situ Mu is - "Qingjun side, Zhengguoben". This is a justified reason to show the world that the uprising is not about coveting the throne, but about really fighting for the world.

Tianmen Pass, Yizhou City. On the high city wall, there was a man who blew the night breeze alone, holding a wine jar, and pouring wine one by one.

Tang Bu was shocked and walked up to the city tower, and saw Situ Mu drinking alone under the moonlight. Since they met, Situ Mu has always been unruly and cares about everything. Only this time, he seemed so depressed and lonely, which made Tang Buxing feel as if he had never really known this former prince and now the king of Ziqing.

Hearing footsteps behind him, Situ Mu turned back vigilantly. Seeing that it was Tang Bu who came, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Mr. came just in time, accompany me for a drink." ”

"Although the weather has warmed up now, the night breeze is still cool, and it is easy to hurt the body." Tang Bu was shocked to see the bitterness and loneliness in Situ Mu's smile, he lifted his robe and sat down beside him, "Your Highness is now the pillar of tens of thousands of troops, so naturally you should pay more attention to your body." ”

"Pillars?" Situ Mu smiled self-deprecatingly, "I don't know if it's a pillar, or a master who makes them shameless, but has to follow their lives." ”

Tang Bu was shocked to know that Situ Mu was very concerned about Situ Bi deposing him as the prince and regarded him as a rebellious minister and thief. Therefore, Tang Bujing carefully wrote the "Letter to the World" for him, just to correct Situ Mu's name.

"Your Highness is too worried, you are naturally the backbone of the soldiers, otherwise why would they follow you to fight in the east and west? Why should Your Highness care about those illusory reputations? The so-called 'the winner is the king, and the loser is the villain', and when His Royal Highness returns to Beijing in triumph and ascends to the throne, he is naturally the son of heaven of all the people and the pillar of the people. ”

Situ Mu poured another sip of wine and sighed, "I naturally know what Mr. said. However, even if I succeed in ascending the throne, there will still be many people who think that I became emperor by rebellion. It's just that because of my position, they don't dare to say more. But the human heart is beyond my control. There are also speech officials and historians, whose mouths and pens are also beyond my control. In the future, I don't know what kind of title I will be deducted. I was also thinking that when my father forced the palace to succeed to the throne, he may have been enthusiastic. But within a few years, he had left his ambitions behind. Maybe it's the dragon chair that is high up in the sky, and it will make people completely change. I wonder if I will continue to follow in my father's footsteps. So what is the purpose of my uprising? ”

Tang Bu was silent for a moment, and said, "Your Highness, do you still remember the matter of the emperor's cane killing the book of Taishi Ling Yang today?" ”

Situ Mu nodded: "Naturally, I remember." Although many years have passed, I am still very impressed by the uproar caused by this incident. ”

"Then Your Highness do you still remember, why did the emperor kill Lord Yang?" Don asked again.

"Because Lord Yang accused his father of alchemy and medicine in the history books, but after ascending the throne, he forgot the way to be a king, etc. The many disadvantages of my father and emperor that he listed are very similar to the "Letter to the People" written by my husband for me. Situ Mu recalled, "When my father learned about it, he was furious and asked Lord Yang to rewrite it immediately. But Lord Yang insisted that the historian should tell the truth and remember the truth, and refused to change it, so his father found a reason to kill him with a rod at the suggestion of Situ Xi. ”

Tang Buxing nodded: "Most of the historians are upright, and they can truly record the bits and pieces that happened when an emperor was in power. So have you ever thought that if one day after you ascend the throne, a historian writes you as the emperor who 'rebelled against the throne', and you will kill him? ”

Situ Mu shook his head vigorously: "Naturally not." Even if the historian wrote like that, it wouldn't be wrong. ”

"This is the biggest difference between His Highness and the Emperor." Tang Bu smiled with satisfaction, "Wei Chen believes that His Royal Highness will be a good emperor. You won't be blinded by the power of power, and you won't mind being taboo about what others tell you. His Royal Highness has a heart that truly loves the people like a son, and will naturally think about the people and seek benefits for the people. Even if at the beginning, some people will not be optimistic about you and criticize you, but one day, no matter the officials, historians, or courtiers, they will be impressed by your outstanding political achievements, and there will be no more dissatisfaction. His Royal Highness does not have a good father as an example, but Weichen feels that in the near future, the little grandson will have a good father to teach him how to be a man and a king! ”

"Haha, Mr. is really good at writing and eloquent!" Situ Mu was shocked by Tang Bu's words, and suddenly felt enlightened, and his heart was happy, "You are right, if you care too much about the opinions of the world, then I can only stop." If I want to change the world's vision, I need to fight for it little by little! My Yan'er is also in the palace, waiting for me, a father, to return his freedom and childhood, I shouldn't be so decadent. Mr. made me enlightened, I salute Mr. ”

After saying that, he handed the wine jar in his hand to Tang Bujing, and smiled and pursed his mouth. Tang smiled without being surprised, stretched out his hand to take the wine jar, and raised his head to drink in a big gulp.

"Your Highness, here, it's really all good wine!" In the night breeze, Tang Bu was drunk and slightly drunk, his eyes were moist and bright, and his face was handsome and flawless, "Weichen is just waiting to see that day, how His Highness will govern the world is rich and healthy, and the minister can also live in a prosperous world hand in hand with his beloved!"
