Chapter 17: The System of the Son of Heaven
In an early dynasty in 6 A.D., Taibao Wang Shun had a music, saying that Meng Tongjun, the martial arts chief, fished a white stone in the well, with a naturally formed text on the top and below, which read, "An Han Gongmang is the emperor." ”
Since Wang Mang began to alienate himself, the Empress Dowager had long suspected that he had different intentions, and now she has even played the trick of destiny, and the Empress Dowager was furious on the spot, shouting and scolding: "The Han Jiangshan can only be surnamed Liu, not Wang." ”
The important officials in the court are Wang Mang's people, and the empress dowager is a decoration to put it bluntly, and all the courtiers kneel down and bow to the palace and begin to force the palace.
"Please ask the Empress Dowager to follow the example of the sages, crown An Guogong as the regent, and wait for the system of the Son of Heaven to be implemented."
"How dare you, how dare you ......." The general trend has gone, and the Empress Dowager leaned on the imperial chair lonely, completely unsure of what to do.
In addition to not officially being called the emperor, the current Wang Mang is no different from the emperor in all his strength, he gave himself an honorific title and changed the name of the year to be regent.
The news of Wang Mang's treatment of the Son of Heaven spread throughout the country, and the people who had already benefited from it cheered, and their homes were as lively as the New Year, because they believed that Wang Mang would bring them a better life.
At this time, among the Liu clan in Nanyang County, Liu Chong's uncle named Liu Jia was scared, he was worried that everyone in his family would die because of this incident, so he pretended to be sick and secretly went to Nanyang Taishou to inform.
The information of the rebellion was leaked, and the Liu clan was killed by surprise.
The roars and cries resounded throughout the world, and Liu Chong and his guests and a few clansmen were already fighting with the officers and soldiers.
"Kill all these traitors, kill all these traitors." The number of officers and soldiers was about 1,000, and Nanyang Taishou shouted loudly, very arrogant.
Nanyang County is a big county of the Liu family, and the clansmen are not 10,000 or 8,000, at first everyone just didn't know when it happened, and when they found out that Zongzheng was being bullied, how could they have time to understand the details, and just pick up the guy. Among them, Liu Yan and Liu Jia (filial grandson) who came in a hurry are the most eye-catching.
"Fuck off." Liu Yan waved the weapon in his hand and killed all the way to Nanyang Taishou, while Liu Jia assisted on the side. The two brothers were so overwhelmed that dozens of soldiers were killed and fell to the ground, blood gurgling out.
"Stop them, stop them." Nanyang Taishou shouted, and many officers and soldiers came to the rescue, which suddenly increased the pressure on Liu Yan and Liu Jia.
The whole city was in chaos, Liu Xiu followed the team stupidly with his weapon, he couldn't fight, and he couldn't escape.
"Uncle Wen, you hurry up, don't be stupid and follow us." The officers and soldiers followed the shouts of Liu Chong, the Marquis of Anzhong, and immediately brandished their waist knives and ran to arrest Liu Xiu.
In the two lives before and after, Liu Xiu was bold and dark enough to fight, but he was really going to kill people, and he was a little cowardly.
With a muffled snort, Liu Chong was stabbed in order to save Liu Xiu.
Seeing that Liu Chong was struggling to deal with the fierce officers and soldiers in order to save himself, Liu Xiu tried his best to persuade himself.
"It's just killing, it's not a big deal. This world is like this, if I don't kill them, they will kill me, as long as I don't kill innocents indiscriminately. ”
Liu Xiu did it, he has not been in vain in the past two or three years, don't look at him is still small, but ordinary officers and soldiers, he can also fight a few.
"Uncle, be careful." Liu Xiu's weapon and arm were already more than two meters, and he stabbed out a long knife from a distance to kill an officer and soldier.
"Don't get involved, leave with the blood book, and wait for the opportunity to come."
"Kill them all and I'll go."
There are adults in front, Liu Xiu is hiding behind, relying on the advantage of weapons to release black knives, which actually has the effect of a surprise soldier.
"Watch out for the black knife, you killed that kid with all your might."
Liu Xiu was thinking about how to put the black knife from multiple angles, but the clansmen in front of him were crushed, and more than a dozen fierce soldiers were killing him.
I can't beat it, can't I run away, master? Liu Xiu dragged his weapon around, anyway, wherever there was a vacancy, there would be him.
In the process of scurrying, Liu Xiu did not forget to help the clansmen around him relieve the crisis, such as the unlucky officer and soldier in front, he raised his weapons and prepared to end the Liu clansmen in front of him, but his hand was chopped off by Liu Xiu's black knife in the air.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome, your family, you hurry up and block in front, I'll find a chance to kill a few more."
Hiding in Tibet, jumping up and down, Liu Xiu was originally like a fish in water, who knew that he didn't pay attention to the direction of escape, and was surrounded by more than a dozen officers and soldiers for a while.
Relying on the advantage of weapons, Liu Xiu was forced back several times before and after. After a long time, his stamina also reached a bottleneck, and he couldn't even lift the long knife in his hand.
"Uncle Wen, don't panic, I'm here." A young man with a weapon had just arrived, and judging by his panting appearance, he should have run a long way.
The person who came was called Chen Jun, and he was Liu Yan's friend of life and death. He was there when he fought with the Li brothers, but Liu Xiu didn't know what his martial arts were.
"Let's all die." The ring-headed knife was sacrificed, and the soldiers who were originally besieged by Liu Xiu's side were killed after a while.
"Zizhao, you are so powerful."
"Maybe my family's knife skills are powerful, and this is the first time I've fought with others."
Liu Chong led most of the clansmen to attack the Nanyang officers and soldiers head-on, Liu Yan and Liu Jia led a few clansmen to attack on the right, and Liu Xiu simply launched an attack on the left with the help of Chen Jun's strength.
More than half of the original nearly 1,000 officers and soldiers of Nanyang were killed, and Nanyang Taishou was a little panicked, and he once again assigned a team of 100 people from the team to escort him away.
Liu Yan and Liu Jia instantly exerted their strength, scattered the officers and soldiers around them, and chased forward in big strides, while Liu Xiu had also been paying attention to the changes in the battlefield, and hurriedly called Chen Jun to help.
The officers and soldiers were defeated and retreated, and the morale of the Liu clan rose sharply, and they all took the lead.
"Stop them." Nanyang Taishou shouted while fleeing, but the officers and soldiers couldn't withstand the impact of Liu Yan, Liu Jia, and Chen Jun at all.
Since they couldn't catch up, Liu Xiu simply sat on the ground to rest, anyway, there were three fierce people here, and it was not a big problem to have him or not.
The result of the incident is obvious, about an hour or so, Liu Yan, Liu Jia, and Chen Jun came back, they originally wanted to chop off Nanyang Taishou's head to show their prestige, but after thinking about it, they still left him a whole corpse.
"Uncle, let's leave quickly, it shouldn't be long before the reinforcements of the officers and soldiers come to quell the chaos."
Looking at Liu Xiu beside him, Liu Chong touched his head with pity, and even stretched out his hand to pull him down and said, "Uncle Wen, the officers and soldiers will go all out to encircle and suppress me, don't follow me in the future." ”
"You put away the blood book and take it out when you find a suitable opportunity in the future."
