It was midnight when he left the barracks, Xu You and Qingming, He Wei, Lu Bozhi, and Wang Shibi returned to Mingyu Mountain in the silver moonlight, and the rows of buildings were hidden in the looming peaks, and the sound of pine rhyme and bamboo waves all over the mountain was like a thrilling song played by the Song Divine Concubine, playing a brisk rhythm for the footsteps of the returnees.

Zhan Wenjun and the winter solstice were still waiting in the secret room on the mountainside, the cold air of early spring was coming, and the fire lit in the corner was flickering brightly, which made the Yiren by the fireplace feel a little more like home.

Xu You had already entered the fourth grade, and he could hardly feel the cold and heat brought by the change of seasons, but he still subconsciously rubbed his hands, stood by the fire and beckoned everyone to sit down at will, then turned his head to look at the winter solstice and asked, "Is there any news coming back?" According to Xiao Yao'er, there was a rebellion in Jinling City, what is the truth? ”

"Before Xiaolang came back, I just received a message from Jinling, and after adding and sorting out this period of time, I basically figured out the general situation. A month ago, a rebellion broke out in Jinling, and the main participants were the younger brother of the queen Wang, the son of the founding county, Wang Ping, the nephew of the queen, Wang Ping, the commander of Fengche, Huayuan of the Huangmen of the Inner Palace, Wei Pu, the captain of Changshui, He Kang, Xie, Cao, Fan, Zhang and other seven middle-class scholars, as well as the merchant Fei Chengchang, the monk Zhu Fashen, and more than a dozen lords and 2,000 soldiers in the Chinese army. That night, the emperor stayed in the Taiji Palace, and was strangled by his henchman Huangmen Huayuan and two palace maids with a rope, almost suffocated to death. Subsequently, Wang Hui and Wang Ping borrowed the identity of their relatives, and the servants of He Kang and the fake concubine opened the palace gate, and Wei Pu led troops to attack Taicheng. At the same time, Xie, Cao, Fan, Zhang and other warrior tribes also set fire to the city to create chaos and hinder the rescue of the Chinese army. The merchant Fei Chengchang provided nearly 10 million yuan as a reward and incentive for the soldiers to participate in the rebellion. After the rebellion, Xiao Xunqi and Shen Muzhi joined forces, and it only took one day and one night to completely quell the rebellion, except for the children of the Wang family, the rest were punished. An Xiuming almost died at the hands of eunuchs and palace maids, and one can imagine how angry he would be, and he used thousands of heads of rebels to build a nine-story landscape on Suzaku Avenue to deter courtiers and people, and at the same time, Jinling imposed the harshest curfew in history, and violators could be beheaded in the market without being examined by the criminal causal. The Chinese army was also stationed in the Sili Mansion and began to be screened and rectified, and many generals with outstanding military achievements were killed by mistake......"

Xu You sighed slightly, looked at the erratic fire, and his thoughts returned to the conversation with Zhu Zhi in the Jiangzhou Thorn History Mansion a few months ago. Zhu Zhi promised to give him enough time to train the troops and join forces, but he didn't expect that the means taken would be so fierce and decisive, assassinating in the deep palace, plotting chaos in the army, and even the queen's family became a chess piece, plus Xie, Cao, Fan, Zhang and other seven surnames, so that An Xiuming was frightened and uneasy, and Jinling, who thought he was stable, was once again in the limelight, if the effect of delay was discussed, it could not be better.

So far, Zhu Zhi's shot has never disappointed Xu You once!

It's just a pity that those thousands of lives......

Perhaps they also know that they will die, but they can seek benevolence and benevolence, die for the right path of their family and country, and die without regrets. In the 100th year of the Chu Dynasty, the country was prosperous, although there were rebels like An Xiuming, there were so many righteous and loyal people? In the future, when Jinling is captured, these victims should be erected and passed on to the world!

Lu Bozhi said: "Merchant Fei Chengchang? Who is it? "It is not uncommon for Wang Song and others to rebel, but the businessmen who are mixed with many relatives and generals sound very unusual.

"Fei Chengchang, the eldest son of the Fei family in Licheng, as the head of the family gradually faded out, all the business in the family was handed over to him to take care of. From Yizhou to Jinling, Fei's hands hold the most profitable way in the silk cloth industry, and this door that makes many people blush but helpless is the grace of Nanyang Wang An Xiu Shuo to Fei's family, and it is the foundation and confidence of Fei's service for An Xiu Shuo. ”

Later scholars Tang Changru once divided the ancient merchants into three levels, the first class was the central enron, the second class was the enquiry of local princes and generals, and the third class was small merchants and hawkers, wandering scoundrels.

Guo Mian is the second class, and Fei Chengchang is also the second class!

An Xiuxuan is not only the king of Nanyang, but also the son-in-law of Shangshu Ling Yu Hao, and also the candidate for the reserve prince who the Yu family once pushed to compete with the prince for the throne.

Therefore, in a sense, Fei Chengchang is more powerful than Guo Mian!

Of course, this is just in a sense, Guo Mian is just covering up his identity, and his real strength is the Quanjing and the Boat Pavilion that are secretly developing and growing.

This point is far from comparable to Fei Chengchang!

Wang Shibi groaned: "This matter is very strange! These people seem to be unrelated, but they involve the inner government, foreign relatives, scholars, the Chinese army and the market, and almost all levels of Jinling are included. Plotting big things with the intention of causing chaos, can it be hidden from the ears and eyes of the Sili Mansion, is it a means of ordinary people? Moreover, anyone with a discerning eye knows that An Xiuming has basically stabilized the situation in Jinling, unless he is completely defeated by a strong force from the outside in, it is impossible to succeed in just causing wind and rain from the inside, and at most it will cause some trouble for An Xiuming. I think the people behind the plots are scheming, how could they stupidly choose to make trouble at this time? ”

Xu You smiled: "You are new to the city, and you are not familiar with some things. Its wings, you can tell me. ”

Although He Wei is unruly, he has never been excluded from people who are really capable. Lu Bozhi said that this Wang Shibi is not an ordinary man, Xu You will be of great use to him in the future, He Wei knows that his attitude is not kind, but he is not mean, and said: "This is Xiao Zhuge Zhu Zhi's big plan, the purpose is to disrupt An Xiuming's pace, let him fall into Jinling, and have no time to take care of him, so as to create an opportunity for the Jiangxia King who is far away in Jingzhou to prepare for the war, and also leave plenty of time for us to train in Yangzhou Tuntian." ”

Wang Shibi was thorough at a point, and suddenly said: "I see! This trick is wonderful, especially pulling Wang Peng and Wang Ping into the water, if An Xiuming wants to investigate, the queen's position is unstable, this is the country's capital, once it is shaken, it will be difficult for Jinling to calm down......"

"It's already shaking!"

Dong Solstice asked for instructions with his eyes, Xu You nodded, and said in a slightly suppressed voice: "Xiao Xunqi wants to seek a position for the Xiao family, and he should pay a lot of price for attracting the Liu family as Olympic aid." But Langjun also knew that because he was in charge of the Sili Mansion, the Xiao family's reputation among the four top gate valves had never been very good, and if the latter position fell into the hands of the Xiao family, I am afraid that the Yu family and the Yuan family would not be satisfied. ”

Lu Bozhi stroked his beard and smiled: "The Yuan family is not satisfied, it is not enough to worry, after all, the Yuan family is partial to the Jin Tomb, advocating pure emptiness, and has no quarrel with the world." But the Yu clan is one of the most non-negligible factions in Jinling City, Shang Shu Ling Yu doesn't even want to lose face, and is committed to rebellion, how can he sit back and watch Xiao Liu's second surname manipulate the country and rise to the top? ”

"Yu Hao can't protect himself!" He Wei squinted his eyes and said: "Fei Chengchang didn't voluntarily participate in this rebellion, if it weren't for Zhu Zhi sending troops to arrest the old and young people of the Fei family in Licheng, and forcing Fei Chengchang to die, he was in his prime, and there was no shortage of money and women, how could he choose this dead end?" ”

Wang Shibi couldn't help but praise: "Zhu Zhi really deserves to be Xiao Zhuge ! Fei Chengchang is a businessman, but he is also the descendant of the king of Nanyang, so An Xiuxuan has also been pulled into the quagmire, it depends on how much brotherhood An Xiuming still cares about......

Zhan Wenjun said lightly: "An Xiuming even killed his biological father, not to mention An Xiuxuan, a half-brother who doesn't have much affection?" Don't forget, An Xiuming's position as the crown prince was crumbling, but Yu Hao strongly recommended An Xiuxuan to take over as the prince. If it weren't for the Jinling Change, An Xiuming would not have survived in order to buy people's hearts! ”

Lu Bozhi was not good at scheming, and he was shocked when he heard this, and said: "Zhu Zhi deliberately did this, just to let An Xiuming kill An Xiuxuan?" ”

The winter solstice was breathtaking, and said: "Xiao Zhuge has always been interlocking, if only Fei Chengchang is alone, An Xiuxuan may not die, Yu Hao can also find the Xiao family and the Liu family to agree, with the power of the three surnames, An Xiuming is afraid and helpless." But Wang Peng and Wang Ping, two fools, were provoked to rebel and cause chaos, which affected the descendants and made Xiao Xunqi think about the posterior. In this way, the Yu family will never let the Xiao family woman enter the palace, then there is no way for the three surnames to join forces, and there is no way to protect the king of Nanyang. ”

He Wei sneered: "So An Xiu Shuo will die!" Killing his father first, and then killing his brother, An Xiuming's notoriety of cruelty and inhumanity is confirmed, and it can't be washed away by pouring the water of the Yangtze River. Zhu Zhi, it's so tight! ”

Xu You put his hands on the fire, listening to everyone's discussion and discussion, but did not make a sound. Zhu Zhi's plan is magnificent, but he is vicious and ruthless, he can give up anyone when necessary, treat human life like a mustard, and treat all living beings like chess pieces, if he becomes an enemy in the future, how to deal with it?

Wang Shibi's mung bean-like eyes flashed, and he smiled slightly: "I think, is An Xiuming not even able to sleep now?" ”

Jinling, Xianyang Palace.

An Xiuming is not only unstable in sleeping, he now looks at the palace maids and eunuchs around him, as if he is all rebellious, so the edict decrees that after falling asleep, no one is allowed to be approached within seven feet of the royal couch. Although Hengyang King An Xiuyuan can enter the palace at night, he can see the palace at night, but when he sees the palace guards, the knife and axe are in hand, and he is eyeing the tiger, and the posture makes the king of Hengyang secretly frightened, even if he is in a hurry, he will no longer enter the palace at night.

There is only one exception, the divine master Yu Daozhen, An Xiuming created a new Yuan Miaoguan for her in Taicheng, and she can go straight to the dormitory without having to pass it. The palace people privately discussed that Yudao had long regarded Yudao as the master of the harem, and even if Queen Wang was not involved by Wang Peng and Wang Ping this time, she had already lost her favor and had no name.

"Can King Nanyang confess his guilt in prison?" This night, An Xiuming was furious, and the palace maids who were waiting around him were beheaded three people, and the others were like frightened birds, trembling, lest it would be their turn next.

Yudao Zhen gently kneaded An Xiuming's shoulders, his bewitching face revealed a bit of cold chill, and said, "How could he confess?" The letters that could be found in the palace were ironclad evidence that he was indeed in contact with the traitors, and that was enough! ”

"Traitor, traitor!" An Xiuming raised his foot and kicked over the case, angry, and said, "What do you say I do to him?" When he fought with me for the crown prince, I didn't blame him in the past, rewarded him, reused him, gave everything well, and finally didn't know how to repay me? ”

"The bees are poisonous, the jackals are devouring, and the lord is benevolent, but he can't bear Fei Chengchang's bewitchment day by day. Now that the king of Nanyang has committed the same deeds, the feelings of revolt have been burned, and sparing him will only leave a disaster. ”

An Xiuming's face was gloomy, and it took a while to arrive: "It's not easy to kill him......"

"The Lord is worried about Yu Hao's opposition?" Yu Daozhen's jade hand quietly sank into the depths of the dragon robe, and said with a smile: "Xiao Xunqi wants to let his disappeared daughter be the queen, Yu Hao is so anxious that he is about to jump to his feet, and the lord can just promise Yu Hao to kill An Xiuxuan and prevent the Xiao girl from entering the palace." As for Xiao Xunqi, he said that because Yu Hao resolutely refused to allow it, it was difficult to marry the Xiao family......"

An Xiuming closed his eyes, tilted his head, showed a comfortable look, and after a while, he let out a low roar, accompanied by a murderous will, and said: "Come on, give the king of Nanyang not to read wine." ”

The name of the poisonous wine given by the palace is not to be read, it has a taste of black humor, the guards came out, Yudao really put his arms around An Xiuming's neck, sat on his lap, twisted his fingers at the ends of his hair, and said: "The king of Nanyang is not worried, but the one who can be worried is the group of bald donkeys who are immortal!" ”

"Huh?"

"Zhu Fashen and his dozens of disciples and grandchildren look like they can't be in the climate, but there are hundreds of thousands of monks in the twenty-two states in the world? After Zhu Daorong's death, the other monks did not obey the lord, and conspired in private, and sooner or later they would rebel. ”

An Xiuming and Zhu Dao have been fighting for many years, and they hate the monks deeply, or they would not have slaughtered the Honno Temple on the night of the Jinling Change. Since then, the various sects of Buddhism have lived in seclusion behind closed doors, never interfering in political affairs, nor preaching and teaching the Dharma, putting on a pitiful appearance of subduing and submissive, but I didn't expect that there was still an intention to rebel behind the scenes.

Look for death!

An Xiuming grabbed Yudaozhen's jade hand, put it to his lips and sniffed it gently, and said, "How does the divine master think to deal with the Buddha Gate?" ”

"How does the Lord deal with those rebellious warriors?"

"Destroy it!"

"Buddhism is also acceptable!"

An Xiuming was startled, looked up at Yu Daozhen, and saw that her jade face was indifferent, not like a joke, her eyebrows were solemn, and said, "What do you mean?" ”

"Lord, the Buddha came from the west, originally a Hu sect, based on the evil law and based on the kingdom, not grateful for the benefits, but a large number of construction, closed mountains and waters, monks do not work, take the people's fat and rich, gather the world's copper and gold body, not lose an inch of silk to the government, do not enter the public warehouse, the size of the family rest, the door stop the strong and weak, or even bewitch the holy hearing, play with authority, want to abolish the establishment, its heart should be punished. I heard that there are all hidden swords and soldiers in the temple, and there are many martial arts practitioners, and the four seas are peaceful, so what is the intention? Now, if the Lord destroys it, the party that skips classes will lose the rent; Cao of evasion, Heng Xin is effective. Then ask for soldiers among the monks, and take the land under the tower temple, which is the policy of strengthening the country and enriching the people. The Lord uses it, and it can be the Holy Monarch of the Ages! ”

Yu Daozhen's voice was like a fairy sound, making people listen involuntarily and obey, she whispered and seduced, and said: "The world is very rich, and the temple has eight of them, and Bai Changjue has also obtained the consent of Sun Tianshi, and Tianshi Dao will try his best to achieve the Lord's wish." ”

New hatred and old hatred surged into his heart, An Xiu's eyes showed a fierce light, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, summon Shen Yue into the palace and draft an edict." I want to destroy the Buddha! ”
