When the gate of Xingguo Temple was wide open, and thousands of local rioters poured out of it and rushed straight to the left flank of the official army, Zhao Ronggui, who was supervising the battle on the left flank, was so shocked that his eyes were split.

That's when it dawned on him.

It turned out that the local tyrant had already joined forces with the White Lotus Sect bandits! The enemy used very weak bandits to challenge before, but it was just a trick to bait the enemy! Fooled yourself!

Now the enemy, relying on the superiority of his troops and taking advantage of the advantages of the geographical advantage, condescended to besiege from the left flank with the main force. If the left flank collapses, the right flank troops that come forward will inevitably be surrounded by the local tyrants on the edge of the canal river, and then the whole army will be surrounded on three sides, and it will be difficult to escape.

Therefore, it was necessary to immediately retreat the right flank, let them line up behind the left flank, and then alternate cover for the two armies, withdrawing to the large battalion as soon as possible.

At this time, Zhao Ronggui no longer cared about any heads and treasures. He closed his eyes fiercely, opened them suddenly, and ordered left and right: "Order, the left battalion must not retreat half a step, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!" The right battalion moved closer to the left battalion. After the two battalions joined forces, they retreated to the main camp together! Left and right, protect Lord Wang! ”

"Lord Wang?"

ZHAO RONGGUI'S FAMILY MEMBER LAUGHED DISDAINFULLY: "WANG XINGJIAN'S TURTLE SON SHRIMP CRAWL (NOTE 1)!" When he saw the Soil Riot Brigade come out, he had already lost his soul, so he left us and ran away first! ”

"These damn civilians!" Zhao Ronggui roared angrily.

At that moment, he saw a cavalry of tyrants swoop down from the hillside and rush straight towards his own camp. Zhao Ronggui didn't care about Wang Xingjian's life or death, and shouted: "The cavalry of the Chinese army, follow the general to attack and intercept the enemy cavalry!" ”

……

When he arrived at the Zhao army's camp on the right bank of the Xixi River, Zhu Pingjin did not rush in, but asked Liao Daheng to lead a company of guards to enter first.

Qin ordered the governor of Sichuan to arrive in person, how could the battalion guarding dare to stop it?

After a short time, I saw Liao Daheng leave the camp on the right bank with a company of guards and hundreds of officers and soldiers, and drove towards the opposite bank through the rickety pontoon bridge. Zhu Pingjin led the second company of guards into the empty camp to take over. A moment later, the sound of horses' hooves outside the camp shook, and the first company of the Tianquan Tusi Cavalry Battalion arrived under the leadership of the battalion commander Gao Rongxuan.

Zhu Pingjin personally greeted him: "General Gao, there is a big battle today, are you interested?" ”

"Brutes, a bunch of bandits! Please stay in the camp to watch the battle, and see that the end will kill him without leaving a piece of armor! ”

The 1,000 soldiers and horses of Xing Yunze's department, who stayed in the camp, were all gathered by Liao Daheng and formed two phalanxes and drove towards the battlefield. The first company of the Tianquan Tusi Cavalry Battalion was responsible for covering them.

With the help of the Tusi cavalry, the officers and soldiers were very happy. The situation on the battlefield is very unfavorable for their side, and that is what they can see. The duty of guarding the camp is important and should not be taken lightly. Without the orders of the commander-in-chief, they could only watch as the front line became more and more passive. Now that the royal soldiers and Tusi elite cavalry have come up with reinforcements, Liao Fu ordered them to go out of the camp to meet the brothers, and the morale of the soldiers immediately soared.

Liao tycoon will not go to the front line in person. He occupied Zhao Ronggui's tent and waited for the man in the red official robe in the distance to escape for his life.

In the handsome tent, Liao Daheng's cold face made Wang Xingjian, who was prostrate on the ground, tremble. The military order was signed by Zhao Ronggui, and Wang Xingjian was a civilian official, and the defeat had nothing to do with him. Wang Xingjian trembled with fright, because Liao Daheng took down several of his bookkeepers at the gate of the camp, and they all cut them off, and their bodies were thrown into the Xixi River, and even the prefect's seal fell into the hands of Liao Daheng.

Liao Daheng looked at Wang Xingjian's humble and low figure, and his heart was happy. Seeing that Wang Xingjian was at the end of his rope and didn't take the initiative to beg for mercy, he snorted coldly and broke Wang Xingjian's fantasy:

"Lord Wang saw that the official army was ambushed, the army was defeated and scattered, and under grief and indignation, he had already drawn his sword and killed himself!"

When Wang Xingjian heard this, his face immediately turned pale, and his body almost collapsed to the ground.

A few days later, Ben Fu will personally bow and fold the music, and play the heroic and tragic deeds of Lord Wang, and ask the court to seal the table. Lord Wang's wives and concubines in Chongqing Mansion will also take good care of them on their behalf. Come on, please go on the road! ”

Scold! The sword is unsheathed.

Just as Wang Xingjian's soul flew for nine days, there was a clang, and a sword was thrown in front of him. The sword bounced a few times, and finally it was quiet. The shiny sword body flashed and reflected the light of the fire pond in the tent, which made Wang Xingjian's eyes blur.

"What other words does Lord Wang have? This fu can be played on your behalf! ”

Wang Xingjian finally came to his senses. He buckled his head like garlic, and cried bitterly: "Lord Futai spares his life!" ”

"How can this official spare you?"

"What does Lord Liao want to do, all the officials will do it!"

Liao Daheng laughed faintly and ordered: "That's good! Here are a few paperwork that you can sign and put your fingerprint on to live. ”

Civil officials are always very sensitive to the documents they sign, and Wang Xingjian couldn't help asking: "I don't know what kind of documents?" “

"The first is the report of the ten major crimes of the brothers Wang Yingxiong and Wang Yingxi, the former scholars of the Ministry of Rites and Dongge University. The first major crime: accepting bribes, tyrannizing villagers, arranging military supplies, and wantonly accumulating wealth; The second major crime is to collude with Zhou Yanru, the head of the dynasty, to form a party for personal gain, and to deceive the Holy ......"

When Wang Xingjian heard Zhou Yanru's name, he immediately regained a trace of confidence: "Duke Liao, Zhou Yanru is the first assistant, and this kind of situation is useless even if he is afraid that the official will sign it!" ”

Liao laughed.

"Who said that this official is going to play at this time? With Zhou Yanru's temperament, can he save the world from danger? From this point of view, it will only be two or three years apart, and it will be the end of Xue Guoguan. At that time, Jiang Dingzhen will lead the performance, and Lord Wang will also have a credit! ”

Wang Xingjian still shook his head: "The emperor is suspicious by nature, and the ministers attack each other, and he mostly doesn't believe it. ”

When it comes to the end, there are still fantasies! Liao Daheng sarcastically said: "The defeat of Lord Wang is the defeat of his own cleverness!" Although the Son of Heaven is suspicious of civil officials, but Dongchang and Jinyiwei, he still believes it! ”

I see!

Wang Xingjian thought of Lord Qincha, who was serving in the National Protector Army, and immediately deflated his breath and collapsed on the ground again.

The truth of beating the water dog is understood by everyone in the officialdom. Liao Daheng did not intend to let Wang Xingjian go: "This second part is a self-confession of Lord Wang's arson and robbery, bribery and power, and intention to rebel; This third copy is a letter from Lord Wang, allowing his family to move to Chengdu; This fourth is a submission from the Chongqing Prefecture requesting the Shu Wangfu to reclaim the wasteland; This fifth part is ......"

The sword lay quietly in front of Wang Xingjian. Only by smearing it with blood will it not emit a penetrating cold light. Wang Xingjian sighed and said, "If the lower official is signed, can Duke Liao keep the lower official's family safe?" ”

"Lord Wang is a traitor for the country, that is a great achievement, why worry about his life! The old man not only wants to protect Lord Wang, but also plays the imperial court, and asks Lord Wang to prepare for the road with the prefect of Chongqing and eastern Sichuan! ”

Oh? Wang Xingjian's eyes lit up. The Eastern Sichuan Bingbei Road is the common name of the Heavy Kui Military Preparation Road, and the soldiers and horses in charge of Chongqing and Kuizhou are in charge. Wang Xingjian didn't care about the sword, and went straight to Liao Daheng's desk and kowtowed.

"Except for Lord Wang's report, the rest of the things have not been prepared by the official. coincides with the New Year's Festival, so it is better for Lord Wang to find a clean place to write in detail. Mr. Wang was originally from Yixing, and he was the core of Donglin Restoration Society, so he thought there was a lot to write. I wonder if Lord Wang can hand in the papers before the Lantern Festival? ”

"Liao Gong's order, the lower officials should obey it. But where does Liao Gong want Xia Guan to go to be clean? ”

"Lord Wang has personally experienced the military, and it is not good to be far away. Why don't you find a garden in the nearby Guangmen shop? This friend will help you! ”

Liao Daheng said, waving his hand to the dark corner of the handsome tent, and Master Qian's figure flashed out.

Guangmenpu, this place name made Wang Xingjian fully understand, dare to love Liao Tycoon and that Zhu Pingjian is really a gang. He let out a long sigh and got up.

"The prince of the world has written a decree: Lord Wang will enjoy the regiment-level treatment of the Shu Wangfu from the date of handing in the papers!"

Liao Daheng gritted his teeth as he spoke: How unfair it is for the son of the world to treat others! Wang Xingjian is the same thing as a dog, and he can get the treatment of the main group! This official has been in front of the saddle for a long time, and he still receives the papyrus-like Daming treasure banknote to offset it!

Seeing Wang Xingjian walking out with his arms between his arms between the soldiers, Liao Daheng suddenly got angry and roared,

"Rip off his official clothes! What kind of thing, you are worthy of wearing a four-grade ochre robe! No wonder the prince said to this official, a six-grade boss, and dared to wear a lion to make up for the swagger through the market!

Etiquette collapses, this is a sign of the destruction of the country and the world! ”

……

Liao Tycoon took the opportunity to put out the fire, but some people took the opportunity to relax. At this moment, Zhu Pingjin was hiding in the camp on the right bank of the Zhao army, surrounding the fire pit in the big tent, enjoying a moment of warmth and comfort.

The prince is lazy, and his big secret Cheng Xiangfeng is naturally lazy and chatting with him.

Cheng Xiangfeng said with a smile: "Shizi, what Liao Fu said to you today, first talk about Yang Sichang, and say that it is difficult to be a man and do things. He also interceded for Wang Xingjian and Zhao Ronggui, saying that they still had something to use. The minister thought that he was using the topic to play, defend himself, and plead for himself, thinking that he had regretted the contribution agreement. But what Liao Gong said is also the truth, a high-ranking official like him who has been in office for many years, who doesn't have some dirty things on him? ”

Cheng Xiangfeng's words only made Zhu Pingjin roll his eyes: "Out of the sludge without staining!" Well said! These officials of the Ming Dynasty are all sanctimonious on weekdays. I took off my pants and my ass was full of shit! What else does Liao want? Didn't this prince promise him a Mr. Aota? ”

"Lee Sun-chang is still a Korean duke! What is the final outcome? On the tower of Duanli Gate, the golden human skin statue ......"

There is a statue enshrined on the tower of the Duanli Gate of the Shu Palace, the prince is in uniform, the gold is dressed in leather, and the head and hands and feet are fleshy.

This creepy thing is Zhu Pingjian's ancestor, the father-in-law of the first Shu King Zhu Chun, the brother-in-law of Kaiping King Chang Yuchun, and the founding father of the Ming Dynasty, Liangguo Gong Lanyu.

In the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, Lan Yu was punished by Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang for the crime of rebellion, peeled off the skin and grass, and spread it to all places. Deeply investigated his henchmen, implicated and killed 15,000 people, known as the "Blue Jade Case" in history.

The human skin of blue jade was transmitted from Yunnan to Sichuan, and Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, put his heart horizontally, and played it with his wife Concubine Lan, and asked him to stay in the palace of Shu to worship. Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang was approved, so this thing has been left on the tower of Duanli Gate of the Shu King's Mansion since then.

Zhu Pingjin followed his father and mother to worship when he was a child, and he didn't know what it was. Later, I understood, I was afraid in my heart, and I didn't go to the door if I had nothing to do. When he sat in the temple and carried it, he ordered someone to cover it with a red cloth, so as to save him from being uncomfortable. Today, Cheng Xiangfeng brought up this matter again, as if uncovering the deepest scar in the three hundred years of bloody rain and bloody wind of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Pingjin reacted quickly: Cheng Xiangfeng didn't say that he missed his mouth, he was talking about a big political issue, that is, how to treat those old ministers of the Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Pingjin takes Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang as an example everywhere and pretends to be decent in front of others. In this way, it will inevitably make his courtiers and potential courtiers compare their fate with the fate of Zhu Yuanzhang's courtiers. This comparison, like the golden-clad human skin statue on the tower of Duanli Gate, is creepy!

Zhu Pingjin's face sank, left Cheng Xiangfeng, stood up and paced in the big tent.

"The minister thought that when it came to troubled times, the son of the world should naturally learn from Taizu. However, the son of the world should not learn all the ancestors, but also learn to dedicate the king! The minister dared to say that what the prince did in Shu was more benevolent and virtuous to the king! ”

Cheng Xiangfeng's idea is good!

In this way, the bloody qi on Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang's body was diluted a lot by the bookish qi on Zhu Chun's body! Those Shudi civil and military who are willing to get close to Zhu Pingjin don't have to worry too much about Zhu Pingjin's post-autumn reckoning with their previous black history!

"In the meaning of Mr., how should this son of the world resolve the civil and military knot of Shudi?"

"The son of the world is unparalleled, and there must be a way."

"Isn't that good?" Zhu Pingjin thought about proposing a plan, "The New Year's Day is approaching, and this son is ready to make a speech in the Fuxing Daily. The object of study, Taizu and Xianwang are mentioned together. ”

"Shizi, and it is not appropriate to mention it. This violates the ethics of fathers and sons, and even violates the etiquette system of monarchs and ministers. It's so good, find a few officials and gentry, write a few nostalgic essays, not only praise the wisdom and martial arts of Taizu, but also read the benevolence and wisdom of the ancestors, and then publish them in the newspaper. ”

"Very good! It's just that Mr. Cheng has to work hard. Zhu Pingjin smiled and nodded.

This is the format of the commemorative special issue, and the political information revealed is enough to be understood by those who are familiar with politics.

The minister did not dare to shirk this matter. It's just that the minister thinks that it is better for Liao Fu to come forward. ”

"That's right! Ask Liao Daheng to write the first article, Liu Zhibo to write the second article, and also write a few articles in the clan. They take the lead, and others follow suit. This time, Liao Daheng is still a bad guy, and Liu Zhibo is a good guy. ”
