Jizhou Yecheng, Wang Fenfu.

The burning torch lit up the silent night, there was not a single servant in the huge mansion, there was not a trace of light in the empty mansion, the door was blown by the evening breeze, creaking in the silence, in the wide courtyard, a futon was placed, Wang Fen knelt on the futon, and in front of the futon was a long sword.

His eyes were fixed on the bright starry sky, each star emitting its own light, and two meteors on the edge of the sky fell, extinguishing in the atmosphere with a brilliant tail flame.

"It seems that today is my death, I'm sorry for you, Brother Mei, let's see you in the next life!"

Outside the gate of the mansion, there is a group of solemn and standing black-armored cavalry, the blades in their hands reflect the firelight, the hooves of the war horses keep digging the ground because of the impatient mood to charge, the sound of the war horses comes and goes, the knights hold the reins tightly, waiting for the leader's order, Xiahoudun and Xiahou Yuan escort Cao Cao, and Cao Cao stands side by side is Yuan Shao, Xu You, there are two unknown generals behind Yuan Shao, on the surface, the momentum is not half a point weaker than the Xiahou brothers.

Cao Cao arched his hand and said to Yuan Shao: "I still came at the beginning. ”

"How can I stay out of such a big matter that you wrote to me on purpose?"

The two laughed, and Cao Cao looked at the two generals behind Yuan Shao: "These two behind Ben Chu are quite imposing, can Ben Chu introduce me to me?" ”

Yuan Shao beckoned the two to the front: "These two are fellow villagers, people from Tangyang, Anping County, the one on the left is named Yan Liang, the word Gongji, and the one on the right is named Wen Chou, and there is no word, these two people have the courage to tear apart the tiger and leopard, and the two behind you are not much better, hahaha." Yuan Shao introduced Yan Liangwen again: "Let me introduce you two, this is my little friend, Cao Cao, Cao Mengde, and now Dunqiu Ling." ”

Yan Liangwen clenched his fists at the same time: "I've seen Dunqiu Ling." ”

Cao Cao laughed: "The two are polite, Cao has to thank Brother Ben and the two brothers for coming to help today, otherwise I would have to enter this Yecheng single-handedly." ”

Xiahoudun and Xiahou Yuan saw that Cao Cao was very enthusiastic about this Yan Liangwen ugly, and they also set their eyes on these two, and the momentum between the four of them was the first duel, if the matter was not over, Xiahou Yuan, a militant, was determined to fight for 300 rounds before he would give up.

After a few people finished greeting, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao looked at Wang Fen's mansion at the same time, and Yuan Shao asked: "I remember that Wang Fen is also your friend, are you willing to kill him?" ”

Cao Cao looked up at the sky, sighed and said: "I am reluctant, but I am Hanchen, he is now a chaotic minister and thief, since I know about this matter, I must stop it, this is my duty as a courtier." ”

Xu You laughed at this time: "This is a great achievement, according to Apu's vision, even if he is far away in Dunqiu, he has to travel three hundred miles a day to Yecheng to kill Wang Fen, the broken place of Dunqiu, it seems that Apu has already stayed enough." ”

No one answered Xu You's words, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan all looked at Xu You with angry eyes, if it weren't for Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's face, he would have cut him with a knife, this Xu You is simply Yuan Shao's licking dog, except for Yuan Shao of the Fourth World and the Third Duke, he doesn't pay attention to anyone.

Cao Cao personally pushed open the door of the mansion and walked in on foot, a group of cavalry behind him rushed in, and immediately filled the empty courtyard, Cao Cao stood in front of Wang Fen, Wang Fen did not look at Cao Cao, still raised his head and stared at the starry sky, Cao Cao also knelt next to him, and looked up at the sky with him.

"Brother Wang, I remember that at the beginning, the two of us looked up at the sky together, and you often told me that you wanted to become a state pastor, protect the territory and the people, and let the people live a prosperous life."

Wang Fen smiled: "Meng De, I didn't expect you to come so quickly, I scattered all the servants, and I just wanted to run away in disgrace, but I didn't expect to be blocked at home by you." ”

Cao Cao laughed: "If you run away, then you are not Wang Fen." ”

Wang Fen shook his head, "Mengde, this world is sick, terminally ill, I am not a doctor, I can't save this world." After that, Wang Fen picked up the sword, exerted force on his calf, and straightened up directly on the futon: "I want to die standing up, I don't want to kneel." ”

Cao Cao turned his back and seemed to mutter: "Brother Wang, I clearly remember that you often tell me the way of loyalty and righteousness, and said that after I join the office, I must be a minister of the Han Dynasty who is honest and loves the people, cares about the Han family, and is loyal. ”

A tear crossed his face and fell silently on the placket of his clothes, and gradually, the tears became a line, soaking the ground in front of him, and the silent sobbing was only audible to the two of them.

Wang Fen smiled and patted Cao Cao's shoulder, pulled out the long sword, Wang Fen's face was reflected on the sword body, and several fireflies naughtily surrounded Wang Fen's side, like the stars in the sky guiding him and letting him return to the starry sky.

"These things, there must be someone to start, whether it is success or failure, there must always be someone who has the courage to resist, I am not the first, and will never be the last, the prosperity of the world, I will watch in the sky, Meng De, no matter what I do is right or wrong, you remember, from now on, as long as you are still an official, you must put the people in your heart, the original I was loyal to the Han family, and now I am loyal to the people, and everything I say is here, so that I can do it myself.

The long sword cut the throat, blood splattered seven steps, Wang Fen's body fell heavily to the ground, he drew his sword and killed himself, even the appearance of death was so chic, so relaxed and freehand, this old minister who had experienced the disaster of the party twice, committed suicide in his own home, leaving to future generations such a simple few words in the history books.

Jizhou assassinated Wang Fen, connected with Haojie, plotted to abolish Emperor Ling, and established Hefei Hou to sue Taizu, Taizu refused, and Fen and others were defeated.

Not only Jizhou Assassin Shi Wang Fen and Yangzhou Assassin Shi Meiqian, but also written in the history books, Nanyang Xu You, Peiguo Zhou Jing, etc., but from the current point of view, Xu You has always been by Yuan Shao's side, and Peiguo Zhou Jing has not made any moves, so, just in the autumn, this rebellion across the state and county was quelled, they miscalculated the military strength of the imperial court, underestimated the support of the local nobles for the Han family, they couldn't wait to do the abolition, but they were also eliminated quickly.

Xiang Qing was in a very bad mood, since Mei Gan died that day, he had been thinking about what Mei Gan said all the way back to Luoyang, was his thoughts wrong? Is it true that the people are having such a hard time? I naively thought that as long as they didn't rebel, they would be able to survive after all, but according to what Mei Qian said, the people of the world, if they don't rebel, they can't live anymore, anyway, they are all dead, and if they want to die, they have to eat and die, is this the reason for their rebellion? Is it just for a bite of food?

No one answered this series of questions for him, but what Xiang Qing didn't know was that when he returned to Luoyang, he would embark on the journey to Xiliang, and this time was also the first step for him to embark on the journey.
