This court meeting was undoubtedly a break between the emperor and the clans who stood on the side of King Xiao Xian, and both sides showed no mercy.

When Xiao Yan's family was sent to the execution ground, they scolded Zuo Sanxiang for being despicable and shameless, but Zuo Sanxiang couldn't hear it.

After the court meeting, the emperor ordered Zuo Sanxiang to take over six of the eight battalions in Gyeonggi and conduct martial law raids in Luoyang City to investigate rebellions.

The so-called search rebellion is to search out some of the dead men raised by the Xiao family and the Wang family, and first keep the capital stable.

Xiao Xian and Wang Fu each asked for Zhishi, and the emperor accepted it politely, but the emperor changed all the fate of Zhishi proposed by the two.

"The so-called Taiyuan Wang's family, of course, is to return to Taiyuan, how can there be a reason to return to Chengdu? Wang Fuzhishi, immediately return to Jinyang City, and he is not allowed to enter Beijing unless he is called! Lanling Xiao, Angelica Lanling, no entry into Qiantang! ”

However, at this time, the emperor's edict had no effect on these two people, Xiao Xian and Wang Fu each took away nearly 10,000 family members and servants in the capital and went to Chengdu and Qiantang.

Overnight, the capital and even the world were shaken, and the prime minister and the general resigned at the same time and ran away with their families, which has never happened in the more than 300 years since the founding of the Great Liang Dynasty.

Immediately after that, the counties and counties in various places had resignation of the Taishou, county orders, etc., and even the garrisons in various places showed signs of mutiny.

Regarding the news of the snowflakes and Jin Liangwei's inquiry, the emperor convened some princes and ministers to discuss countermeasures, some suggested intercepting and killing Xiao Xian Wang Fu halfway, some suggested treating the two with courtesy, and some suggested killing Zuo Sanxiang Gu Xining and others to appease the resentment of the family.

Intercepting and killing Xiao Xian and Wang Fu halfway, except for Zuo Sanxiang, who dared to take the order, the rest of the people did not dare, and they were not optimistic, Pei Yun even bluntly said that it was that Zuo Sanxiang's people had not yet arrived, and Xiao Xian and Wang Fu would each rebel under the banner of Qin Wang Qingjun's side.

Deng Hua also said that since the founding of the Great Liang Dynasty, he has never killed such an important minister as the prime minister and general, and if he still sends someone to intercept and kill the important minister of Zhishi, it will break the rules, and the world will be in chaos from then on.

Yuan Xiuwen even suggested that Xiao Xian and Wang Fu both have the ability to rebel, and now they can't be forced to rebel, if they want to resolve this matter, they have to pretend to be confused and stay up for time, and if they get out, the world will be peaceful.

"If you ignore such a change and can't take action, how can the emperor's face remain? And now many county officials in various counties and counties have resigned and gone away, and some garrisons have also behaved abnormally! The imperial court is now very passive, and if it does not take action, there will definitely be an even greater disaster! Zhao Qian was a little worried that the suggestions of the ministers were just to protect Mingzhe

The emperor waved his hand: "What is my face?" The officials of the counties and counties in various places are nothing more than unwilling to offend the Xiao family and the Wang family, and they are pretentious! The most important thing in this world is to be an official! As for the garrisons in various places, it is not necessarily that they are attached to the Xiao family and the Wang family, especially the four towns of the Wang family are actually not abnormal. At this time, it is nothing more than some people who want to make a show and profit from it! Things have come to this point, and we can only calculate it! I decided to send someone to give Xiao Xian Wang Fu a gift, and the two of them each gave Taibao and Taishi titles, by the way, Wang Fu didn't always complain that he was the king of the county before the unification of the world, and later he was only an earl in terms of meritorious deeds, and now he is given the title of king of the county! Xiao Xian was also crowned a marquis! This matter must be spread to the world! For those who resign, they will never be used, their homes will be raided, and they will also check the accounts and case files during their tenure! If there is any change in the garrisons in various places, they will all be reinforced, joined the army, and captained by Fan Yang! ”

For the emperor's move, everyone expressed puzzlement, Xiao Xian Wang Fu was so rude and open and confrontational, and the emperor actually added a seal.

The emperor did not express his intentions, and some things could only be understood but not spoken.

Moreover, the emperor also released a word, saying that he had already sent Jin Liangwei to protect Xiao Xian and Wang Fu, and he was afraid that someone would assassinate these two important ministers on the road with ill intentions.

Clear-eyed people knew that this was the emperor's trick to confuse Xiao Xian and Wang Fu so that they would not rebel immediately.

However, as Xiao Xian and Wang Fu themselves, they had to take it seriously, and when they received the sealed edict and the reward of gold and silver cloth, the more they thought about it, the more wrong they became.

clear

has openly broken the saber rattling, but the emperor is like a soft submission at this time, there must be a conspiracy.

And they have to be skeptical of the rumors that Jin Liangwei was sent to their side, because people can never calculate, even if it is the closest person around them, it may be Jin Liangwei.

The most chaotic thing is still to come, Wang Fu was a little suspicious, and his subordinates swore on their knees for the alliance in order to prove that they were not Jin Liangwei, and they handed over their children to Wang Fu as hostages, and even identified Jin Liangwei as the person they usually don't deal with.

Xiao Xian's situation is slightly better, because Xiao Hui took the initiative to admit that he was Jin Liangwei, which can be regarded as temporarily stabilizing people's hearts.

But Xiao Xian himself understands that this eldest son is usually in the mansion, and he has very little time to go out, so there is no possibility of becoming Jin Liangwei at all.

Wang Fu's team soon began to have people die, and Wang Fu looked like Jin Liangwei to everyone, but there was no evidence.

There is almost no solution to this conspiracy, and if it continues to develop, it is inevitable that Wang Fu and his subordinates will die from cannibalism.

At this time, Dong Xing came out and told Wang Fu not to think about who Jin Liangwei was, such suspicion would only make Jin Liangwei, who was really hidden in the team, deeper and deeper, and Wang Fu's team might not necessarily have Jin Liangwei.

Wang Fu didn't believe it, Dong Xing told him that there was a way, even if Jin Liangwei was really mixed in, he could only obey Wang Fu's orders, but this method was a bit vicious.

"Miao Ren Gu Technique?" Wang Fu looked at Dong Xing suspiciously

"Exactly! In extraordinary times, this method can only be used, and when this period of time has passed, you can solve the Gu! ”

Qian Jingzhi's suggestion at this time was even bolder: "Since the general has openly broken with the emperor, if he does not rebel, he will not be able to escape the fate of being killed in the future!" If there are also strong soldiers in the four towns who obey the orders of the general, as well as tens of thousands of troops of the Wang family, although it is difficult to take the world, it can still be done by separating one side! ”

"If you can't take the world, what's the use of rebellion? Relying on the power of the soldiers and horses of these four towns and the Wang family, as well as the Xiao family as foreign aid, the emperor does not dare to touch us! ”

"The general is so confused! He is the king, you are the minister, and now everyone else is watching, including the soldiers and horses of the four towns under you! The emperor is now rewarding us again, and he is disturbing us with his schemes, and it is clear that he has made up his mind to eradicate the general and the prime minister! At this time, there is still life for rebellion, if you don't rebel, you will be waiting for others to slaughter! ”

"My Wang family and Xiao family have hundreds of thousands of people combined, and he dares to kill them all?"

Qian Jingzhi shook his head, "The emperor only needs to kill the hundreds of people led by him, punish thousands of people, and forgive the remaining people!" At that time, even the general's people will betray the general! ”

Dong Xing also nodded, "General, you can't learn from Cao Shuang, thinking about being a rich man, you have no way out!" First erecting the banner on the side of the Qing monarch to rebel, and then uniting with other families, is the only way out! Licking chaff and rice, lips and teeth are cold, other families may not understand this truth! ”

"It's okay on the Qingjun side, but once the war really starts, there is no room for recovery in this matter! What's more, I don't want to marry others, I don't even have a son, and it's not worth it at all to rebel against the risk of the Jiu clan! I took these soldiers and horses to hide in Chengdu and never return to the Central Plains, so why don't I just enjoy the rest of my life? ”

Qian Jingzhi hurriedly threw the fan in his hand on the ground, "How can the general be as confused as Cao Shuang!" Alas, Dong Xing, let's go! The general just wants to be a rich man, why should we follow to die! ”

Wang Fu hurriedly got up and grabbed Qian Jingzhi, "Respectful!" The emperor has already given me the title of king of the county, so how can he go back on his word and kill me? Besides, I just led people away, and I didn't rebel openly! You and Dong Xing think too much, and you are too bold! Things haven't gotten out of hand yet! ”

Dong Xing shook his head helplessly, "The general is also a person who has dominated the court and the battlefield for most of his life, how can he easily believe the emperor's tricks this time!" It is useless for me and Brother Qian to stay here longer, take care of the general! ”

Looking at the backs of Dong Xing and Qian Jingzhi going away, Wang Fu's guards asked him if he wanted to chase and kill.

Wang Fu shook his head, "Forget it, let them go!" ”

"In case they defect to the emperor, they will harm the generals in turn

That! ”

"The two of them have high martial arts, and they are also arrogant figures, they won't be so repeated, not to mention that even if they want to take refuge in the emperor, the emperor may not necessarily take them in!"

One night after Qian Jingzhi and Dong Xing left, Wang Fu's tent caught fire, and when everyone came to put out the fire, they found that Wang Fu had been dead for a long time.

Hearing the news of Wang Fu's death, Xiao Xian was terrified, and Jin Liangwei was really lurking beside them.

The voice of Xiao Xian, who had previously supported Wang Fu, was obviously much less, and the emperor specially issued an edict to allow Wang Fu's body to be returned to Beijing for burial in the specifications of the county king.

Wang Fu failed to rebel before his death, but after his death, the soldiers and horses of the two towns of the Wang family raised the banner of avenging Wang Fu and began to march towards the capital.

After Qian Jingzhi and Dong Xing learned of Wang Fu's death, they went to Chengdu and Guanzhong respectively to summon the Jiannan Army and the Fengxiang Army to avenge Wang Fu.

Wang Fu's warrants and secret letters to the garrisons of the four towns were mostly from the hands of Qian Jingzhi and Dong Xing, and they had been sent to contact them all these years, so they won the trust of the soldiers and horses of the four towns, and now they heard that Wang Fu was killed by the emperor, so he did not hesitate to rebel.

Fan Yang and Qiantang were too far away, and Dong Xing and Qian Jingzhi lacked skills, so they had to send secret envoys to send letters.

The soldiers and horses of the two towns of the Wang family rebelled, Xiao Xian's mood was extremely complicated, the soldiers and horses of the two towns of the Wang family would definitely not be able to fight the army of the imperial court, if the Wang family was defeated too quickly, it would be his turn immediately. But now that the Xiao family has not been hit, if they also rashly raise troops, there will be no way out. What's more, the Xiao family has no soldiers and horses in their hands, and there are hundreds of children of the Xiao family who serve as county commanders in various places, but half of them have resigned under his instructions.

In Xiao Xian's view, Wang Fu was killed because he was a military general and did have the conditions for rebellion. And although he Xiao Xian has a huge amount of money and protégés all over the world, he has no military power, and it is very difficult to rebel.

Xiao Hui told Xiao Xian that the Wang family is gone, it will be the turn of the Xiao family, and the emperor will not necessarily choose to assassinate Xiao Xian, because it is useless to kill Xiao Xian, and it should be Xiao Sheng who should bear the brunt of dealing with the Xiao family.

"The money and official position are gone, but the life is still there! If there is a rebellion, there will be nothing! Xiao Xian still didn't want to go to a dead end

"General Wang is a lesson from the past, people do not hurt the tiger, and the tiger is harmful to people's hearts! Father, there is no way back! Rather than having the wealth we have accumulated for many years confiscated, it is better to take it out and recruit troops and fight hard! Our Xiao family is also a big family for hundreds of years, and the Liu family has been married for dozens of generations, so it should be the turn of the Xiao family to take the throne! ”

"There are no soldiers and no generals, and there is no chance of victory! Looking at the world, who is the opponent of the left three phases! ”

Hearing the voices of Xiao Xian's father and son, Xiao Cong'er broke in, "Father! Eldest brother! Since there have been dozens of generations of marriage, why not have one more of me! It's not the end of the day! I can contribute to the Xiao family and save the lives of the whole family, this opportunity cannot be missed in vain! ”

Xiao Xian looked at Xiao Cong'er in surprise, "Cong'er, by all means, my father would rather be killed than let you enter the palace and be ruined by that old thing!" ”

"Father, you are wrong! I'm going to find King Jin! I want to be the side concubine of King Jin! ”

Xiao Hui shook his head again and again: "No! King Jin already has a princess, and if you go to be a side concubine, you can't change anything! ”

"No, as long as I can enter the Jin Palace, it will definitely be useful! At least it can separate the relationship between King Jin and Zuo Sanxiang and the emperor! ”

"If you want to go, don't you have to? No way! I can't risk you! ”

"Father, have you forgotten that according to the Liang system, the Xiao family can directly offer their daughters to the prince, and the prince must not refuse! This is a rule that was laid down 300 years ago! ”

"Cong'er, what you think is too simple, the left three phases are extremely vicious! King Jin is not a fool either! ”

Xiao Cong'er took out two letters from his arms and handed them to Xiao Xian, "Father, this first letter was given to me by Yu Hongyao, the daughter of Yu Wanli, who died in the Western Regions, as long as my father reads it, he will know that there is hope for this matter!" This second letter was given to me by the crown princess, and she also wanted to use the power of the Xiao family to suppress King Jin! ”
