Zhang Taiwei won the victory in the court for the first time, after a period of narration by Donghaojun, the hundred officials agreed to the conquest of Goguryeo, as long as this guy shut up, let alone Goguryeo, you just want to do Kushan, we will not object!

Zhang Wen was overjoyed in his heart, and recruited Dong Haojun to his Taiwei Mansion, thinking that he would be reused, and who would dare to oppose the old man in the future!

After the end of the court, he stopped the newly trained 20,000 soldiers from going to Youzhou, this expedition, Sun Jian also sent a part of the southern army to go, he did not follow the go, in fact, to conquer a small Goguryeo, Zhang Wen did not need to use 20,000 soldiers, in Youzhou, the Han Dynasty at least more than 50,000 troops, and these troops are experienced soldiers.

They are also familiar with the local climate and terrain, and if they are used to conquer, they will definitely be able to quickly resolve the war.

But Zhang Wen still wants to take these soldiers to go, in his opinion, the new army can only become elite soldiers after experiencing the war, he went this time, it is with the meaning of training, he is getting old, I am afraid that this position will not be able to do many years, before he leaves, he has to train a few more strong troops for the Han, so that he can leave with peace of mind!

Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song heard the edict of the temple, and they also quickly began to prepare for the crusade, and the military baggage was also driven to the north by water transportation, according to the requirements of Taiwei Zhang Wen, mainly concentrated in Donghao, Lelang County, Xuansu County, and Qinzhong County of Xinzhou, Zhang Wen's military deployment was obviously easy to see, he wanted to carry out the expedition from these four directions.

The first year of Xiping, February

Anding Linjing County,

Well out of the Yellow Dragon

Many ministers in the court hated Zhang Wen very much, and he also became the fourth minister hated by the ministers in addition to Wang Fu, Zhang He, and Jia Xu.

The Son of Heaven also ordered Xing Ziang to fill the vacancy in the court, earlier, Emperor Xiaokang had given Xing Ziang a list, so that he could reuse, Xing Ziang thought about it, and transferred some of these people back to Luoyang to fill the vacancy in the court, and the Son of Heaven had free time at this time, accompanied by Rao Yang, the Queen Mother and others, from time to time they wanted to go to the court, but the Queen Mother did not allow it.

On this day, Xing Ziang came to the palace.

With the watch in his hand, I hope that the Son of Heaven can check these ministers who are about to enter the court as officials, Hanmen quickly went out, smiled, and exchanged pleasantries with Xing Ziang for a while, before bringing Xing Ziang in, for some reason, Xing Ziang didn't like this kind of hypocritical smile on Hanmen's face, he still liked the Song Dian in the past, he was serious, and there was no nonsense, but it was a pity....

When Xing Ziang walked into the Houde Palace, there was more than one Son of Heaven in the hall.

Ling Yi stood in the Hall of Houde, wearing extremely shabby clothes, with a lot of sewing marks on them, Xing Zi frowned, as a Han official, it is very good to be diligent and thrifty, but wearing it like this, not only lost face, but also had some deception, which made Xing Ziang very unhappy, he bowed to the Son of Heaven and bowed: "Meet Your Majesty!" ”

The little fat man laughed, got up, and said, "Xing Jun is here, come, sit!" ”

He pointed to the distance, Xing Ziang was stunned, he found that the Son of Heaven was not kneeling, on the ground, there was a strange wooden vessel, the Son of Heaven just sat on the wooden vessel, seeing Xing Ziang's puzzled appearance, the little fat man laughed, and said: "This thing is called a Hu chair, it is a seat for outsiders, but it is much more comfortable than kneeling!" ”

"Ma Yilang has made improvements on the Hu chair, you see, here is something to rely on, I review the recital on weekdays, and I don't feel tired anymore, hahaha~~~" The little fat man said happily.

Xing Ziang frowned, looked at Ma Jun on the side, and said, "You dedicated this thing to the Son of Heaven?" ”

"The minister is here to see Shang Shuling..."

"I ask you, this is the ?!? you have dedicated to Your Majesty." Xing Ziang's face suddenly became solemn.

"Indeed..."

"As a councilor, you should care more about the important affairs of the people, instead of flattering and pleasing the Son of Heaven... Got it? Xing Ziang's words were very unkind, Ma Jun's face was stunned, he lowered his head, and there was no speech, the little fat man's face gradually became solemn, he squinted his eyes, but he was speechless, seeing Ma Jun like this, Xing Ziang said with some displeasure:

"I still have important matters to discuss with Your Majesty, so you can leave..."

"Weichen farewell...."Ma Jun said with his hand.

"Also, your clothes, in the past, were not so simple, you still changed it! Nothing can be done! ”

Xing Ziang said, Ma Jun trembled, nodded, and walked out.

Walking out of the gate of the palace, Ma Jun stopped, stretched out his hand, and stroked the clothes on his body, with tears in his eyes.

The little fat man squinted his eyes and sat on the chair, Xing Ziang did not appreciate it, knelt in front of the little fat man, and reported the affairs of the court and the new officials one by one, the little fat man also listened carefully, nodded, and said: "Not bad....", he laughed again and said: "There is Xing Jun in the court, and I have less worries." ”

"Your Majesty has a good reputation... The minister retired," Xing Ziang said.

The little fat man smiled, Xing Ziang slowly got up,

"Boom~~", the little fat man punched the case, his face became extremely fierce, and he roared: "I can let you step down??? ”

Xing Ziang was taken aback, hurriedly bowed, and said, "The minister is guilty!" ”

The little fat man slowly stood up, walked to Xing Ziang's side, and said, "You are Father's henchman, and you have followed him the longest.... Famous all over the world, moral role model .... But..."The little fat man slowly approached Xing Ziang and said seriously: "I am the Son of Heaven!" ”

"Your Majesty... Minister..."

"I didn't let you speak!!"

"In this palace, in this world, there is no one, and no one can give orders for the Shi number!!"

The little fat man said coldly, sat back in his seat, and said, "Xing Jun, please take a seat....", Xing Ziang's body trembled slightly, and sat down, "Sit on the Hu chair!" ”

Xing Ziang sat cautiously on the chair.

The little fat man suddenly laughed again, and asked gently, "How is it, but it's much more comfortable?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, but it is much more comfortable..."

"Xing Jun, since it is comfortable and easy to use, why do you mention any more etiquette and etiquette?" The little fat man said helplessly, just now, Xing Ziang kept persuading him that it was impolite for the king to sit on the Hu chair, and the little fat man continued: "What's the matter with Ma Jun? ”

"Ma Jun is a good worker, he presented a picture of a waterwheel to me today, do you know that if this waterwheel can be made to irrigate thousands of miles of agricultural mulberry, what a big deal it is for people's livelihood?"

"I know that Emperor Xiaokang, as well as you, are very disdainful of these, but I am different, I think, but anything that can be used for the country and the people, no matter whether he is Hu or Huaxia, I dare to use it!"

"Novelty is so unnoticed by you, and the things you and I use today are not novelties to our ancestors?"

Xing Ziang lowered his head, his mind was blank for a while, and he couldn't speak, the anger of the Son of Heaven just now made him feel a little trance.

"Xing Jun... I'm a little tired..."

"Minister.... Retire...."

"Xing Jun, remember, you can't finish too much, if you don't know, don't rashly accuse, Ma Jun's clothes are left by Wen Rengong, Ma Jun came to see his father for the first time, he is wearing this body, since Wen Rengong died, Ma Jun is speechless, sullen, mourning with Wen Rengong's relics, you are so accused.... How can the heart endure? ”

Xing Ziang's face was full of shame and he was speechless.

When he walked out of the palace, in the cold wind, he came back to his senses, he still had some resistance to these in his heart, he didn't want the Son of Heaven to indulge in these things, forget about national affairs, however, he was not so pedantic, if it was something beneficial to the people, he was still willing to support, when today's son is different from Emperor Xiaokang.

Emperor Xiaokang doesn't value these things, he once said, this is a little Dao'er, however, the Son of Heaven is still young, and he grew up with Ma Jun, he is curious about these things, and it is normal, but, don't indulge in them, Xing Ziang thought helplessly, he called the carriage and horses, and walked towards Ma Jun's mansion, he wanted to apologize to Ma Jun in person.

"You want to be an officer?"

Wang Fu sneered and looked at the Prince of Guishan in front of him.

Tired Sejia said helplessly: "Prince, I want to participate in the assessment, but the officials are not allowed, because I am not Han, my friend, Donghaojun, is now also an official under the account of Taiwei, I also want to stay in Han as an official, I have been with Tai Academy for several years, know the scriptures, know the etiquette law..."

"Really?"

"But so..."

Wang Fu looked at him, then turned out a few pieces of paper from under the case, wrote a few scriptures and poems at random, and handed them to the prince, the prince hurriedly waved his pen and wrote, Wang Fu frowned, looked at it for a while, his words were still good, and there was no mistake in writing, and even wrote the meaning under it.

After finishing writing, the prince carefully handed the poem to Wang Fu and said respectfully: "I hope you will review it." ”

Wang Fu just glanced at it a few times, and then said, "Bullshit... However, it is better than the group of mediocre and incompetent people in the court, and they can also be officials and officials...", he wrote another order casually, saying: "Take this order to Cai Yong, let him give you the qualification for the assessment, and the next assessment, you can be assessed with the group of students..."

The prince was extremely excited when he held the warrant of the royal talisman, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, Prince! ”

"Prince!"

The servant hurriedly walked in, frowning, with a solemn expression, Wang Fu was stunned, seeing his solemn expression, he pursed his lips, looked at the prince, and said: "Then you go...", he didn't want to say more, the prince thanked him again and again, and then left Wang Fu's mansion, and after he left, the servant said: "The prince... Several places around Luoyang... The soil is full of eggs, white and yellow, as the prince said...."

Wang Fu clenched his fists and frowned.

Over the years, Luoyang has never encountered any disasters, however, Luoyang has rarely rained, drought for a long time, as early as Wang Fu's latent husband theory, he put forward the long-term drought must have locust plague theory, this is when he was in Xiliang, after a long period of observation found, he had worked in Xiliang, and turned out such white eggs from the land, extremely large, and then, Xiliang broke out of a large-scale locust plague.

At this time, Wang Fu understood that the statement that the locusts were turned into fish and shrimp was not reliable at all, and the locusts were just worms, but in the drought period, he could lay more eggs, if there were locusts in Luoyang, it would not be a good thing, Luoyang was the most important thing in the world, Wang Fu had already sent these henchmen to explore everywhere, but he didn't expect that he had really found something.

Wang Fu frowned, took some pieces of paper from the case, and said, "You can take me there now." ”

Subsequently, Wang Fu visited around the Sili area, and successively found a large number of locust eggs in Luoyang, Pingxian, Pingyin, Gucheng and other areas, which made Wang Fu's expression become more and more solemn, and he hurriedly recorded and marked the areas found one by one, he wanted to exterminate them collectively before the locusts appeared, although it was very difficult.

But he's a king, and he wants to do what others can't!

Coming to Zhongmu County, Wang Fu led his subordinates and hurried to the farmland.

Around the cultivated land, many farmers are quietly looking at them, some doubts, I don't know what they want to do, Wang Fu took off his clothes, and lay on the ground, his hands picked up the soil, the entourage was not idle, they were all looking around, Wang Fu frowned, lying on the soil, a pit was dug here, in the pit, you can see a bunch of white and yellow insect eggs condensed with the concrete.

Alas, there are also here, not good, it seems that the entire Sili area, there is going to be such a large-scale disaster, we must prepare early, otherwise, if the Sili area is affected, not only will it hurt the people, but it will also be a huge blow to the prestige of today's son, here is the foot of the Son of Heaven, how ignorant the people are, what locust gods are they still talking about now!

He took out his pen and paper and began to record the situation here.

"Puff~~"

Wang Fu shuddered.

I don't know when, a man dressed as a farmer, put the dagger in his hand into the back of the prince, the people around him did not slow down for a while, the man gritted his teeth, fierce and vicious continuous stabbing, stabbed seven or eight times in a row, the snow bloomed on the prince's clothes like plum blossoms, and the surrounding attendants roared, rushed up, and threw the man down.

The surrounding peasants suddenly took out daggers and the like from their sleeves, roared angrily, and rushed towards Wang Fu.

Wang Fu's retinue was furious, drew their swords, and fought them.

The prince was lying on the dirt, and the dagger was stuck in his back, and blood was dripping from his mouth, and his white beard was stained red, and the sleeves of his coat were stained with blood, and he trembled, and took up his pen, and wrote on the paper, and when they saw him like this, the dead men knew in their hearts that this man had found out who had hired them, and rushed towards the prince without his life.

The prince's retinue are all the elite of the army, and there are many people who are given by the Son of Heaven, they are strong in battle, and they are not at all matched by these assassins, seeing the prince being injured, they hate it in their hearts, and they are also desperate, the assassins fell in front of them one by one, no one wants to be captured alive by them, and they commit suicide immediately if they lose their combat strength.

The battle was gradually over, and the maharaja's bloodstained hand could no longer hold the pen and ink.

The prince fell on top of the dirt, blood mixed with the dirt, and rested his head quietly on his wrist.

On March 14, the prince was stabbed with Zhongmu and died on the spot.

The world shook.

The Son of Heaven sat in the Hall of Virtue, his whole body trembling, his eyes were bloodshot, in front of him, was the prince's handwriting before he died, and in front of him were records of locust eggs in various places, and in the end, the messy handwriting with blood stains was written before he died.

When the prince was assassinated, the guards who followed him, there were twenty-six suicides, and the rest of them also tearfully handed over this suicide note to the Son of Heaven, a shrewd person like the prince must have discovered the identity of those assassins, and hoped that His Majesty could severely punish the traitors! Avenge the Maharaja!

The little fat man cried in a low voice, and the prince's manuscript slipped from his hand and drifted slowly.

You can clearly see a line of crooked handwriting on it.

The prince did not finish this line.

Order a large number of chickens and ducks in various places, locusts are afraid of poultry, it is afraid of fire, so that the people to

"You, a mere yellow worm, are also worthy of picking up my Wang Jiexin?"

"Hahahaha~~~~"
