"What about courage? He is not the lord of men! Ruan Sidao said: "In the current situation, there are only 30,000 adjustable soldiers in the central capital, as for the forbidden army in the central capital, it is all a showcase, as long as Nanyang is broken, His Royal Highness will take Nanyang as the position, and even go down to the first line of Wancheng, at most one month, Zhongdu will be broken!" ”

"I hope so!" The king of Shu unconsciously shrunk his neck: "The breath of this place is dry and cold, this king is really a little uncomfortable, it is better to Sichuan and Shu..."

As he was talking, the Shu soldier colonel who was patrolling the city came to report: "Your Highness, there are chaotic people in the city, crying for the rebel Shi Lian!" ”

"Oh? Is there such a thing? The King of Shu was stunned for a moment: "Who is the sinner?" Bring it to the king with a look! ”

In just a moment, Chang Yaosheng was captured by the Shu soldiers patrolling Nanxu City to the big tent of the Chinese army.

The King of Shu looked at Chang Yaosheng's appearance and laughed: "You guy, why are you crying for a dead person?" Don't you know what happens to those who drag themselves into rebellion? ”

"It is precisely because I know the consequences that I come out of my heart when I am below, and I feel unworthy for the county guard!"

As soon as these words came out, the Shu generals in the tent all frowned, and Wei Yue, a close attendant of the king of Shu, said angrily: "You poor ant man, ignorant and unreasonable, you should cut off your tongue!" ”

The King of Shu stopped Wei Yue and continued to laugh: "Who are you?" Why do you talk like that? Compared with those who only care about the imperial power in the central capital, at least the people under the rule of this king are healthy, and the thieves and exiles have nowhere to exist! ”

Chang Yaosheng wiped his tears and said: "Don't hide it, in Xia Chang Yaosheng, the son of Chang Qilian, the right Cheng of the Shangshu Pavilion in the original Zhongdu Middle Pavilion!" ”

Hearing this, several generals had already set off.

"Spy, this person must be a spy, Your Highness, take him and behead him for the sacrifice flag!"

In the face of the coercion of the protruding generals, Chang Yaosheng was not afraid of the slightest, so he aroused the interest of the King of Shu.

"Interesting, this person has no hiding or hiding, tell the truth, wait for this king to figure out the reason, and then kill it is not too late!"

The king of Shu spoke, the generals retreated, and more Shu soldiers approached to give a seat to Chang Yaosheng.

"You, the son of a high-ranking official in the middle capital, how can you cry here about a local county guard?"

Faced with the question, Chang Yaosheng said: "Although he is not the son of a high-ranking official, his father died in the power struggle, before the accident, his father informed him that under him, Nanxu County Shou Shi Lian is a fairy Yunyou, with a free and unrestrained temperament, and in front of him, he is looking for a small official to make a living, just because Zhongdu was trapped in the Yan army and the flood disaster before, and he was able to come here until a month ago. How can you not cry like this? In troubled times, how can people without roots live according to Pingping? ”

After that, Chang Yaosheng started crying again, and Ruan Sidao whispered: "Your Highness, this person is delicate, and he should be beheaded immediately, so as to avoid future troubles!" ”

When Chang Yaosheng heard Ruan Sidao's words, he was not touched, he still cried non-stop, only said that he was mourning for his life, the king of Shu smiled silently, Ruan Sidao waved his hand, when two Shu soldiers approached to escort Chang Yaosheng, he was executed.

But from beginning to end, Chang Yaosheng's crying has not changed, and his heart-to-heart release of hopeless pity for life is not coquettish in the eyes of the King of Shu, and the King of Shu has a secret whistle in Zhongdu, and he is very clear about the imperial power struggle during the reign of Emperor Xia Wu, Chang Qilian is one of the high-ranking officials who are the substitutes for the death of Zhongshu Pavilion, and it is also a fact, thinking of this, the King of Shu stopped the Shu soldiers who were about to come out.

"Leave him alone!"

Hearing this, Ruan Sidao was stunned: "Your Highness, you? ”

"The fate is bitter and sad, only to complain about the sky, but the sky does not pity it, what is the use of complaining about the sky?"

The King of Shu got up with laughter, Chang Yaosheng stopped crying, and retorted: "Your Highness says to himself that it is heaven, naturally he doesn't know that the lower level is poor, and I can only complain about people like this!" ”

This is bluntly said, there are already five points of blame for the king of Shu going north in and out of Sichuan, but the king of Shu is smart and spiritual, how can he be angry because of this?

"Hahaha... This king has grown so big, you are the first person who dares to blame this king in a harmonious manner, you have the guts..."

"It's not because of guts, it's because of hopelessness in life!" Chang Yaosheng's eyes were red and swollen: "At this point, what does His Highness want to do?" It's all up to Your Highness! ”

When the words fell, Chang Yaosheng put on a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, which really amused the King of Shu, and after a while, the King of Shu smiled and asked: "If you say this in front of Emperor Xia Jing?" What will happen? ”

"What else is this? Deserved to be killed! ”

"What about the king?"

"Naturally, it's the same!"

At this point, the king of Shu suddenly changed color, and the arrogant king between him looked down on the world.

"This king wants you to live!"

"What?" Chang Yaosheng seemed to have no belief, but the King of Shu's expression was coercive, so he couldn't support it, and at the end Chang Yaosheng cried and kowtowed: "Thank you for the gift of the King of Shu like this!" If you can, if you want to find a job as a junior official in Nanxu County, this life is enough! ”

"No!" The King of Shu decisively: "Since you are the son of Gaotang and have your talents, it is a pity to be a county official!" ”

At this point, the King of Shu's eyebrows and eyes shone directly, like Mount Tai pressing on the top, so that Chang Yaosheng couldn't bear it, and he was directly paralyzed to the ground.

"Your father died in the battle for imperial power in the central capital, who is to blame? Don't you really know? ”

"Know... Know... Emperor Wu of Xia... But he's dead..."

"Emperor Xia Wu is dead, his son is still there, and his throne is set up by his son, don't you want to avenge your father? Looking for the little emperor in the middle capital? ”

Chang Yaosheng was restless, but because of the coercion of the King of Shu, the hatred under Chang Yaosheng's weak posture slowly emerged, and after a while, Chang Yaosheng said with red eyes: "I want to avenge my father... I beg Your Highness to help me... I beg Your Highness to help me..."

Under the nonsense, Chang Yaosheng knocked his head on the ground, only waiting for the head to break the blood flow, and it did not stop, that Ruan Sidao saw this, the whole person looked uncertain, speechless, and finally the king of Shu whispered to Ruan Sidao: "Sir, the enemy's profit needs the enemy's blade... If these people can be used by me, Zhongdu... How can it be safe? ”

While the southern border of the central capital was once again plunged into the scourge of war, the northern frontier had slowly calmed down.

Lincheng, when the Zhucheng coalition army was defeated and dispersed by the Bei'an army, after the military might was suppressed, the official power was like smoke and fog, scattered as a nowhere to be found, and on the contrary, the extreme point of the expansion of the power of the military commander was still in Lincheng.

Ma Quan used Lin Xiu's help to coerce in one fell swoop, and after Sun Kui knew the situation, he was powerless to change it at all, but Ma Quan knew it in his heart, and did not forcibly retreat from Sun Kui, but let him continue to be the county guard, but his own military dispatch was alone, Sun Kui and his officials could not be restrained in the slightest, as for Xu Anmin and Yue Changfa, these officials were also silent, and they must seek the opinions of the Ma family in every case, so they should arch the Ma family as the secret county guard of the city.

Similarly, Ma Quan's strength at this moment, he did not forget what Lin Xiu said, he used the official military line as a reason to release various Bei'an orders, the only difference is that the county army orders and local military orders are independent, Lin Xiu does not interfere with the Ma family, and the Ma family does not stop the Bei'an army, which really kills two birds with one stone.
