It is said that the Nanhai Wharf in Guangzhou, Datang Kingdom, is very busy, and there are merchant ships from Southeast Asian countries berthing and trading every day, and business is booming. Therefore, not only the merchants of various countries and the people of Guangzhou have money to earn, but also local officials can also profit from it, so the official positions of Guangzhou Governor, Hu Cao, Bing Cao, and Fa Cao are all fat and poor.

After Empress Wu was in power, it was Lu Yuanrui who was the governor of Guangzhou at that time.

This person is very happy with his achievements, has a fiery temper, is accustomed to reporting good news but not bad news, has a great deal of arbitrariness in the selection and appointment of cadres, does not have a wide field of vision in selecting and appointing people, has chaotic management, has no fear, flouts the red line of discipline, acts recklessly, tramples on the laws of the state, illegally accepts businessmen's property and property, and has been full of complaints for a long time.

Under his leadership, his subordinates Liu Cao and officials and subordinates at all levels were greedy and bribe-taking, arrogant and wanton, cruel to fish and meat dock merchant ships, insatiable demands, and had no moral bottom line.

A foreign businessman complained to Lu Yuanrui, but instead of punishing his greedy subordinates, he wanted to punish the foreign businessman's crime and use shackles to take him.

All foreign businessmen were very angry because of this, accusing Lu Yuanrui of not distinguishing between right and wrong and reversing black and white!

Lu Yuanrui was arrogant and unreasonable, and said nonchalantly: "I am the master of my territory!" I can do whatever I want, what can you barbarians do to me? ”

A dark-skinned, burly Kunlun slave stepped forward, pushed aside everyone, and went straight to the auditorium, and everyone got out of the way.

When the Kunlun slave came to the hall, he suddenly pulled out a short sword from the sleeve of his robe and stabbed it into Lu Yuanrui's abdomen.

Seeing this, more than a dozen people from Guangzhou Sihu and the left and right officials were shocked, and no one wore a sword to the court at that time, so they panicked suddenly, and had to hit the opponent with a killing stick.

Kunlun Nu was hit with a few sticks on his back and arm, and he looked like he was nothing, and he looked like a practitioner! I saw that he pulled out his short sword and slashed backhand, slashing the stomach of a servant, exposing his liver and intestines, and bleeding all over the ground.

Guangzhou Sihu attacked from his back, Kunlun Nu turned around and moved the short sword into his ribs, and Guangzhou Sihu fell to the ground with a scream.

Several officials raised their killing sticks together, Kunlun Nu first shuttled left and right, and then struck a needle under the sea, stabbing a short sword into the leg and stomach of a servant, and the servant screamed and squatted.

Kunlun Nu used another move to dodge his arm and plunged the short sword into the chest of the servant. After a fierce fight, Kunlun Nu killed more than a dozen servants on the left and right, and then flicked his sleeves and walked away, no one dared to approach him!

After Kunlun Nu walked out of the yamen, he boarded a boat and entered the sea with the help of Hu Shang, and calmly went away.

After the officers and soldiers of Guangzhou Zhichong Mansion heard the news, Kunlun Nu had already sailed on the sea, singing folk songs in the sunset! The officers and soldiers rushed to the beach, and only the faint sound of singing could be heard in the distance.

The heroic deeds of Kunlun Nulu who saw injustice and drew swords to help soon caused a sensation in the local area, and people compared the Kunlun Nu to Zhang Zhongjian, a bearded guest.

After receiving the report on the deeds of Kunlun Nu, Empress Wu believed that villains like Lu Yuanrui should not be reused, and the prime minister and officials should not be used properly, so they should reflect on it.

Are there any corrupt officials like Lu Yuanrui in the state capitals of the world? Empress Wu thought that there must still be a lot of them, so he carried out a large-scale rectification of officialdom and style, adjusted, dismissed, and belittled a number of officials, but unexpectedly induced a butterfly effect and caused the Yangzhou Rebellion.

In the autumn of the first year of civilization, a comet appeared in the northwest, but it was only two zhang long and belonged to a small comet. In order to curry favor with the Queen Mother, the Quartet magistrates vied with each other to talk about Fu Rui, saying that this comet came to the world to sweep away the filth, just like the Queen Mother eliminated harm for the people, which made the Queen Mother happy!

There is also Fan Wen, the commander of Songyang County, who went to the deep mountains and wild valleys to find a stone that looked like a unicorn, saying that it was Ruishi and sent it by car in person. The Empress Wu put the Ruishi on the court hall of the Wucheng Palace, and invited the civil and military officials to appreciate it.

Thirty-three days later, the little comet was extinguished. At that time, no one would associate the appearance of the little comet with the Yangzhou Rebellion, indicating that people have no eyes before and after.

In autumn, by the Grand Canal in Yangzhou. King Luo Bin of Linhai County wandered around, came to a restaurant to drink alone, he picked up a glass of Wucheng wine and walked to the window, looked at the busy dock in the distance, and chanted:

The second court is closed, and Wanli is sad.

The mountain road belongs to the south, and the river flows from the north.

The evening breeze is continuous, and the new moon shines on the side of autumn.

The stove fire passes through the military wall, and the beacon smoke goes up to the tower.

The dragon court fought hard, and Yan Jaw would be a marquis.

At the foot of Mo Zuolan Mountain, the air makes the Han country ashamed.

At this time, another person's voice came from behind:

Goose, goose, goose, song to the sky, white hair floating green water, anthurium plucking clear waves.

Luo Bingwang looked back and saw an elegant literati standing behind him smiling at him, so he asked, "May I ask your Excellency?" ”

The man bowed and said, "My surname is Wei Siwen, and like my foot, I once held the position of serving the imperial history, and now I have been demoted to the rank of captain." I have heard the name of the big name for a long time, and it is an honor to meet each other! ”

Luo Bingwang smiled and said, "Mr. Wei, come, sit down and have a drink together." May I ask why you were deposed? ”

Wei Siwen said: "Hey, it's not because a friend asked me to help with things, but afterwards a friend gave a gift, and I couldn't refuse, so I had to accept it!"

If the fart is bigger, it is also worth holding accountable, if the emperor is above, how can there be such a thing! Now that the world has changed, the tigress is on top, Si Chen, and the big fart has to be made a big fuss! ”

The two sat down, and just drank a cup of Wucheng wine, two more officials came in the restaurant.

Wei Siwen got up when he saw it and said with a smile: "Under the artemisia grass, there may be orchids, the house of Maotz, or the king of the marquis!" The British public university came to make this small restaurant flourish! Ha ha. ”

The two officials recognized Wei Siwen, so they sat down together, Wei Siwen introduced: "These two distinguished guests are the British Duke Li Jingye and his brother Li Jingyou, this is the famous Jiangnan genius Luo Bin Wang!" ”

Luo Bingwang and Li Jingye brothers praised each other for a long time, and the two sides finished saluting each other, and Li Jingye called the shopkeeper and began to order food and wine. Li Jingyou asked Luo Bingwang why he was so down.

King Luo Bin sighed and said: "In the next year, the master of Chang'an originally entered the dynasty as a servant of the imperial history, but unexpectedly met the queen mother to force the Son of Heaven to retreat and take power in person, I couldn't help but feel unfair, and I wrote a book to sarcastically admonish, so I was demoted to Linhai County." It doesn't matter if this official is not right, now he has abandoned his official position and returned to seclusion, wandering all over the world! ”

Li Jingyou sighed: "Luo Jun dares to act, he is a true gentleman!" Li is not talented, and once served as the commander of Xu. My brother has been good at riding and archery since he was a child, talented and wise, attacking the Duke of England, and the official servant Shaoqing and Meizhou Thorn History, just because he amassed a little money in the assassin history, he was demoted to Liuzhou Sima, and Li was also dismissed! ”

Just as he was sighing, two more people in green official uniforms came into the restaurant, and when they saw Li Jingye, they came over to salute. It turned out that one was given to Tang Zhiqi in the matter, and the other was the Donggong Zhan Shi Si Zhi Du Qiuren, who had been demoted to the county commander of Yixian County.

Six people gathered around a table, adding wine and food, talking and laughing. Li Jingye said: "The treasure of the country is the scholar, and Confucianism is the treasure of the table." Today, I happened to meet all the countrymen and scholars, it is really a fate, I salute you for a cup! ”

After drinking, he said: "The servant has just been demoted from the Meizhou Assassin to the Liuzhou Sima, and he passed through Yangzhou when he went to work, and he didn't want to meet you." What's even more coincidental is that you all seem to have a bad career. The same is the end of the world, why should we have known each other, come, toast to the same fate! ”

The six of them drank a cup of wine, and Luo Bingwang sighed with emotion: "Mountains and rivers are thousands of miles away, and the city is a nine-fold gate." Don't see the emperor's palace, and know the Son of Heaven? It's a pity that our beloved Son of Heaven has been forced to retreat, and I don't know where to live? Now it is a tigress who occupies the magnificent palace, and all the nobles will bow down under her pomegranate skirt and bow down to her! ”

After Wei Siwen drank, he suddenly became impassioned and said: "All of you here are rare talents in the country, so you can't be depressed like this. According to the next trial, seize the power, build immortal achievements, and establish a brilliant career, the opportunity is in front of you! ”

Everyone was shocked and asked in unison, "What chance?" ”

Wei Siwen replied loudly: "Don't the princes think that the Empress Dowager Wu who is in charge of the dynasty is ruling illegally? She is already a sixty-year-old woman, but she exiled her young and strong son from Beijing, and put her newly established young son in the air, which is unreasonable, right?

Moreover, I heard that Li Xian was the most capable of her sons, and she was actually murdered. Recently, he changed the name of a hundred officials, pursued the ancestors of the Wu family, and stole artifacts, which is the so-called Sima Zhao's heart, which is known to passers-by! ”

Tang Zhiqi took the case and said, "Mr. Wei said it too well. If we are all insensitive, and no one dares to raise our arms, Li Tang Jiangshan is afraid that he will become a martial artist.

I used to be Li Xian's staff, and I heard that Empress Dowager Wu is not a gentle and kind woman, and she is from a humble background, defiling the Spring Palace, killing sisters and brothers, killing kings and mothers, gods and men are angry, and heaven and earth are intolerable! ”

Du Qiuren said: "I have also served His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the East Palace!" The Wu family pushed the Son of Heaven to the situation of **, and killed Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu, which is really a femme fatale! ”

King Luo Bin said indignantly: "It's a pity that loyal ministers like Huo Guang of the Han Dynasty have never appeared again, and the powerful clan like Liu Zhang has also disappeared. I'm afraid the story of Yan pecking the emperor's grandson is going to be repeated again! ”

Li Jingyou suddenly stood up and shouted: "It is a good opportunity from God that we can gather today. Why don't we rise up and overthrow the Wu Clan? As long as the Li family returns to power, we will make immortal achievements, that is, the founding heroes, and the degraded ones will be able to raise their eyebrows! ”

Li Jingye drank all the wine in the cup, and said impassionedly: "I, Li Jingye, am an old minister of the Emperor and Tang Dynasty, a prince and a prince, who is the testament of the first emperor and the great grace of the Dutch Dynasty. Today, I am so ashamed that I have fallen to this point.

Is it unreasonable for Song Weizi to mourn for the destruction of his homeland, and Huan Tan to shed tears for the loss of Juelu? Therefore, I, Li Jingye, am determined to hold high the banner of justice, sweep away the demons in the universe, stabilize Li Tang Jiangshan, and do a vigorous career with all the princes! ”

Wei Siwen also drank a glass of wine, stood up and said: "As long as we carry the banner of Kuang Fu Luling King, the world will inevitably gather and rebel." From the remote Baiyue in the south to the Sanhe in the Central Plains in the north, the iron cavalry is in groups, the chariots are connected, and the flags are fluttering on both sides of the river. ”

King Luo Bing drank a glass of Wucheng wine and said generously: "The sound of the class moves and the north wind rises, and the sword is angry and the south is flat." If you woo, the mountains will collapse, and the wind and clouds will change color. In this way, why should the enemy not be destroyed? Attacking the city with this, why not conquer the city? ”

Tang Zhiqi said sadly and indignantly: "A handful of soil has not dried up, and the six-foot loneliness is here? Please see whose world is in today's domain! ”

Du Qiuren said calmly: "If you don't plan something, you can't make a plan." Let's plan carefully, arrange carefully, and draw up a well-thought-out plan, and great things will be done! ”

So, the six of them discussed it carefully, and finally unanimously decided: to recruit troops under the banner of Kuang Fu Luling King, and to recommend Li Jingye as the leader and Wei Siwen as the military advisor.

As soon as he said it, the military advisor Wei Siwen immediately wrote a letter to his former colleague and friend Xue Zhongzhang, who supervised the imperial history, and asked him to inspect Yangzhou. This Xue Zhongzhang is the nephew of Neishi Pei Yan.

After Xue Zhongzhang communicated with Pei Yan, he received Pei Yan's support, so he went south to meet Wei Siwen, and then contacted his uncle through the scholar Fang Jinyuan riding a stagecoach.

After arriving in Yangzhou, Wei Siwen ordered Wei Chao to go to Xue Zhongzhang to report the change, saying: "Yangzhou Governor Shi Chen Jingzhi rebelled. Xue Zhongzhang immediately sent someone to arrest Chen Jingzhi and put him in prison.

A few days later, Li Jingye came to Yangzhou in a stagecoach as planned, pretending that he was Yangzhou Sima sent by the imperial court and came to take office.

Li Jingye coaxed everyone and said: "Because the Gaozhou chief Feng Ziyou has rebelled, the servant has received a secret order to quell the rebellion, and now send troops to conscript!" ”

So he opened the treasury, took out weapons and armor, sent Shi Cao to join the army Li Zongchen to the money factory, drove hundreds of prisoners and craftsmen, awarded armor, formed an army, and beheaded the governor Shi Chen Jingzhi in prison.

Sun Chuxing, who was a member of the army, insisted on seeing the edict with his own eyes before he was willing to send troops, and was killed on the spot to sacrifice the flag, and the rest of the officials did not dare to resist.

Li Jingye set up a recruitment banner and recruited troops, and urgently needed an article to widely publicize and expand his influence!

Wei Siwen found King Luo Bin and said, "I heard that Mr. once served in the Western Regions, fought in the frontier for a long time, served as a staff member of Li Yi, the governor of Yaozhou Province, and quelled the rebellion of the barbarians, and most of the military Chinese was from Mr.!" Now that we have set up the banner of rebellion and recruited soldiers and horses, we urgently need a deafening article, and please bother! ”

Luo Bingwang patted his chest and promised: "Luo is not talented, but it is more than enough to write a deafening essay!" Please rest assured that in the era of sound, color, light and shadow, Luo firmly believes that the power of words can also move people's hearts! I will definitely write an inspiring article that will make everyone in the world willing to join forces in the army. ”

Next, Luo Bingwang listed the sins of the Empress Wu on the scratch paper, recalled the conversation in the restaurant, integrated his surging passion, and wrote the eternal text "On behalf of Li Jingye to pass on the heavens"!

The article said: The pseudo-Linchao Wu clan is not docile, the land is cold and slight, and he used to be Taizong under Chen, and he tried to change clothes to serve. Today, he harbored evil intentions, stole artifacts, imprisoned the emperor's beloved son in another palace, and entrusted the Wu clan's henchmen with important tasks. All the kings can turn disasters into blessings, and jointly establish the honor of the king of diligence, and all the lords will be rewarded, and they will refer to the mountains and rivers!

This deafening proclamation was soon posted in all states and counties in the world, and posted in Chang'an and Luoyang, and literate people praised it one after another, and for a time the crowd was raging, and they sued Wu for his crimes.

Under the propaganda and agitation of the text, under the banner of Li Jingye, who was under the banner of King Kuangfu Luling, more than 100,000 soldiers were recruited in only ten days.

At the end of September, at the oath meeting, Tang Zhiqi read out aloud the "Passing on the Heavenly Text on behalf of Li Jingye" and moved it to Zhuzhou County. The name of the year was changed to the first year of the heir saint, and Kuangfu Mansion, Yinggong Mansion and Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion were set up.

Li Jingye declared himself the governor of Yangzhou and the general of Kuang Fufu, and raised troops in Yangzhou. Subsequently, Tang Zhiqi was sealed, Du Qiuren was the left and right Changshi, Li Zongchen and Xue Zhongzhang were the left and right Sima, Wei Siwen was the military advisor, and Luo Bin Wang was the art and cultural order, in charge of the secrets.
