"Hey, what's the commotion over there? It's still smoking, is it a fire? ”

"No, that's the Nanda Battalion, there are so many officers and soldiers, there really must be a fire, and one person will be extinguished as soon as he soak in urine, how can there be a fire?"

The movement of the camp in the south of the city caused pedestrians on the streets of Jiankang City to stop and watch, looking at the billowing smoke rising on the south side, everyone thought that the barracks were on fire, and the soldiers were shouting for fire, so there was such a movement.

In the imperial history, Cheng Shen Guan, in the second floor of a wine shop, overlooked by the railing, looked at the black smoke rising from the south, listened to the shouts that seemed to be nothing, and a smile appeared on his face, a big drama he carefully planned was finally staged.

The so-called praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, Shi Wenqing is the praying mantis, who wants to suppress the invitation by provoking a mutiny, and he Shen Guan is the yellow finch behind the praying mantis, and he wants to make a profit.

Shen Guan is the nephew of Empress Dowager Shen Miaorong, when his cousin Chen Bozong was deposed, he had no hope for his career, but he relied on flattery to have his current status, and his ambition is not only personal.

He felt that Wu Xing Shen must not just end the curtain like this.

Jiang Biao's surname was "Zhu Zhang Gu Lu" in the early Jin Dynasty, and he was gradually replaced by emerging wealthy families such as Wuxing Shen and Yixing Zhou, and Yixing Zhou gradually fell into the cold in the Southern Dynasty, but Wuxing Shen was illustrious for many generations.

However, the Wuxing Shen clan, which was originally famous for its strong martial arts, gradually transformed into a literary scholarly clan, and it was precisely because of this that the hidden danger of decline was buried.

Recalling that back then, Wu Xing Shen was a relative, and Shen Guan, as the nephew of Empress Shen, had a bright future, but when the queen became the queen mother and Shen Guan's cousin Chen Bozong succeeded to the throne, the situation was different.

In the face of this trend, Empress Dowager Shen was helpless, and Shen Guan's father Shen Qin tried his best to redeem it, but he was unable to return to the sky, and the clan was even more powerless.

Chen Bozong changed from the Son of Heaven to the King of Linhai, and soon 'contracted illness and died', and his uncle Shen Qin also 'died of depression', and the Wuxing Shen family fell silent.

During the Taijian period when Chen Ji was the emperor, Shen Guan did not make any progress in his career, and he was so desperate that he befriended the prince Chen Shubao, and when Chen Shubao ascended the throne, he regained the opportunity, and another member of the Shen clan, Shen Keqing, was also the same.

They can have today, just by virtue of their personal efforts, and it has nothing to do with the clan, but the idea of reviving the clan, Shen Guan doesn't know if Shen Keqing has it, he has it.

The opportunity to revive the family is not impossible, the crown princess Shen Wuhua is also from the Wuxing Shen family, Shen Guan originally thought that this was a good opportunity given by God, but this crown princess turned out to be an indisputable lord, and it didn't take long for her to fall out of favor.

Not only did he fall out of favor, but he also failed to give birth to a son and a half daughter, and even if he later became a queen, he failed to regain the mercy of the Son of Heaven.

But it doesn't matter, as long as Shen Wuhua is the queen, then Wu Xing Shen will have a chance, and now, Shen Wuhua will be abolished, and Wu Xing Shen will have no chance to make a comeback.

Shen Guan was unwilling and wanted to turn the tide, he was not thinking about Shen Wuhua, nor for himself, but for the sake of the clan.

He and Shen Keqing's development did not have the help of the clan, it was purely based on personal efforts to climb up, but as long as they can be in a high position, then one day, the children of the Wuxing Shen family will have a chance to stand out.

At this time, with the queen's golden pretense, it is much more convenient for the Shen family to unite.

People must be self-aware, Shen Guan knows that the noble concubine Zhang Lihua is deeply favored by the official family, and Shen Wuhua has long fallen out of favor, he can't change all this, so he just wants to prevent Shen Wuhua from being deposed.

That's when a great opportunity presented itself.

Shi Wenqing tried to force some of the soldiers to mutiny and then took the opportunity to suppress and invite credit, this plan was explored by Shen Guan, and he decided to plan it, secretly inciting other soldiers to save people, and then denounced the "demon concubine".

The 'mutiny' that would have been immediately suppressed by Shi Wenqing would have evolved into a large-scale mutiny, but the scale of the mutiny was so large that it would inevitably be suppressed in the end, and the resulting turmoil would affect the government.

After such a fuss, the opposition inside and outside the government and the opposition will be very loud, and in this way, the official family will inevitably compromise, so for Shen Guan, he will gain valuable time.

The footsteps started, and the entourage pushed the door in a panic, Shen Guan was not annoyed by the other party's rude behavior, and was about to ask what happened, but was pulled out by the other party.

"What, why are you so flustered?"

"Lord Lang! The southern battalion mutinied, and some rebels came here! ”

"Huh?"

Shen Guan was a little strange, the soldiers he secretly instigated should have rescued their companions who were slaughtered by Shi Wenqing in Nanda Camp at this time, and they should not have come to this Qinhuai River so quickly...

By the way, the southern camp can't be said to be too far from here, maybe there are rebels taking advantage of the fire nearby.

Shen Guan thought so, he was not panicked in his heart, those who play with fire, if they are not careful, they will set themselves on fire, in order to avoid accidents, he has made preparations in advance, and arranged for his family to live in Taicheng.

There are six official offices in Taicheng, and according to the rules, as long as the officials of each ministry meet the requirements, they can arrange for their families to live in Taicheng, so Shen Guan has long 'moved' in advance in order to avoid himself and his family members from being harmed by the rebels.

He only needs to enter the city before the gates are closed, and what happens outside at that time has nothing to do with him.

When he came to the door of the wine shop, he saw the pedestrians on the street running and shouting, and the noise was getting closer and closer, Shen Guan turned his head to look, and saw many soldiers rushing to the end of the street, most of them were not wearing armor, holding short spears and wooden sticks in their hands, and they seemed to be rebellious soldiers who took advantage of the fire to rob.

The development of the situation seemed to be more serious than expected, and without further ado, Shen Guan turned over his horse and was about to rush in before the closing gate of Taicheng, but the streets were in chaos, and he couldn't go fast on horseback.

Shen Guan was anxious in his heart, and shouted loudly with his entourage, trying to drive away the trust that stood in his way, and in doing so, he became the most conspicuous target, and the rebels roared and threw short spears at the man who seemed to be 'quite promising'.

The mount was stabbed by a short spear, and stood up in pain on the spot, lifting Shen Guan off his back, and when he got up, the rebels had already rushed in front of him, and several dismounted retinues tried to stop them, but they were knocked down by the big stick.

Shen Guan saw those chaotic soldiers staring at him with ill intentions, he was so frightened that he wanted to run, but his feet couldn't move, and he couldn't help blurting out in extreme fright: "Big... Be bold, I am an official of the imperial court! ”

The soldier at the head was stunned when he heard this, and then grinned: "Imperial court officer? What kind of officer are you? ”

"I am the middle of the imperial history!"

Shen Guan said with luck, hoping to deter this group of soldiers, but saw the other party smiling and raising a wooden stick and smashing it at his head: "Yushi? Eat, dog officer! ”

With a "bang", Shen Guan was hit by a wooden stick and his eyes were full of stars, his head was splitting, and he couldn't help but struggle desperately, he begged for mercy hoarsely, but more wooden sticks fell down and smashed on his head and body.

There was another "bang", Shen Guan heard the sound of his skull cracking, fell to the ground and convulsed, his consciousness gradually dissipated, and the last sentence he heard was murderous:

"Dog officials, you are powerful and blessed on weekdays, Lao Tzu will kill all of you dog officials today!"
