No. 003 Knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger

During the Southern Ming Dynasty, the Qing army went south, and the Ming army was defeated again and again, and in two years, the throne changed three times. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The authority of the central government has dropped greatly, the discipline of the imperial court has been abolished, the binding force of civil ministers on military generals has become smaller and smaller, the power of military generals has risen, and the reversal of the civil and military situation has become inevitable.

Cao Ye inspected Guangxi on behalf of the Son of Heaven as the discipline inspector of the imperial history of the capital, although he had the right to control the local civil and military affairs, but he was old and couldn't suppress Chen Bangfu, and Zhu Tianyang would not really embarrass him because of this, after all, he was new to Wuzhou and was unfamiliar with the place, and there must be many places to rely on Cao Ye in the future.

"This Uncle Qingyuan in Wuzhou has such a big face, the emperor dares not to come to pick up the driver!" Wang Kun, the first person in the inner court who was on the side, had been holding back for a long time along the way, and at this time, he looked around, but did not see the figure of Chen Bangfu, the general of Wuzhou Town, and finally said this sentence in a strange way.

Wang Huacheng, the secretary of the military department who was driving the western patrol, heard the meaning of the old backstage's words, and hurriedly followed Ying He and said: "It's just a hill eight, and he dares to be so domineering!" Is there still a court in his eyes? Is there still a saint? Does he want to learn from the four towns of Jiangbei? Or do you want to do the opposite? ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in Wuzhou City, the sound of horses' hooves from far and near, from small to large, gradually became a roaring trend, and dozens of lightly armored knights galloped from the city to the Nanxun Gate.

"It's Chen Dashuai's people."

Far away, seeing Chen Bangfu coming over with his personal soldiers, the people who were driving on the side were afraid to avoid it, so they hurriedly got out of the way. Joke, in this Wuzhou capital, this Chen Dashuai is the only emperor of the soil, and the local officials have to take a detour when they see him, who dares to stand in his way!

If the galloping horse called Chen Dashuai crashed and died, it would be a vain death; If you startle the horse and hurt the handsome, it is even more amazing, and the clan punishment is light.

Although the people tried to avoid it, some of them still had no time to dodge, and almost caused his men to crash into it, and there was a rush of chickens and dogs at the city gate.

Of course, Chen Bangfu didn't care about these little things, on the contrary, he did it on purpose.

More than a month ago, he took advantage of the defeat of Li Mingzhong, the commander of Xunwu Town, when the strength of the front line was greatly damaged, and he squeezed it out of Wuzhou Mansion, and it took great effort to get the treasure land of Wuzhou Mansion.

In addition to being surprised, he felt a strong crisis, he has been used to Weifu in the local area over the years, these court bigwigs are coming, his governance in Wuzhou will definitely be taken away, a bad fear is that he will become a pawn again, the top guard team, he is unwilling!

So, after having an idea in his heart, he decided to take the initiative and take the lead!

The reason why he arrived late was to test the mind of this fallen son of heaven.

After all, this crime can be big or small, and at worst, it is rude and negligent, and at most it will be dismissed. To put it mildly, it is contempt for the Son of Heaven, bullying the king, and the crime of killing the head!

If the emperor gently exposes this matter, it will undoubtedly affirm his power, and he will be able to invisibly give those ministers who are driving a disgrace.

If the emperor is thunderous and angry, he will punish him if he does not know the times, and he will have to take another path, and there is more than one master who can take refuge in these years!

The group quickly passed the Nanxun Gate, and then passed through the urn city, until they approached the emperor's car, they slowly slowed down, and finally stopped more than twenty steps in front of Zhu Tianyang. Chen Bangfu turned over and dismounted, handed over the reins to the pro-soldier generals who rushed over, strode forward, and when he passed by Cao Ye, who was kneeling on the ground to ask for sin, his face showed surprise, and when he arrived at Zhu Tianyang, he no longer hesitated, and took the initiative to kneel down and ask for guilt: "The governor of the five armies, Qing Yuanbo, and Chen Bangfu, the chief military officer of Liuqing, knocked to see my emperor, long live, long live, long live." Late to the car, capital crime, capital crime. ”

Chen Bangfu is quite large, very tall, and his appearance is quite weekly, but his complexion is very white and his eyes are small, which is less of the majesty of a military general and more gloomy and solemn.

Wang Huacheng wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Zhu Tianyang with his eyes.

After carefully looking at Chen Bangfu a few times, Zhu Tianyang hurriedly took two steps, stepped forward and gently lifted him, and his officialdom experience in his previous life told him that this Chen Bangfu must be appeased at this moment: "Chen Aiqing, what are you guilty of?" You have secured peace for me, and you are a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, and I plan to reuse you well, so hurry up. ”

Seeing that the emperor really didn't dare to embarrass him, a trace of contempt flashed in the corner of Chen Bangfu's eyes, and then he took advantage of the situation and said, "Thank you, Emperor." ”

Although Chen Bangfu's expression was secretive, it still allowed Zhu Tianyang to capture it, his behavior, a discerning person can see at a glance that it is a temptation, how can Zhu Tianyang, who knew a lot about his character in his previous life, not see it?

But what can I see, now the situation is stronger than people, although he is the son of heaven, but in front of this land snake, he has to temporarily choose to compromise.

However, even if it was the identity of the Son of Heaven, he didn't want Chen Bangfu to be too arrogant in front of him, so he turned around, and Zhu Tianyang said in a deep voice to Cao Ye who was kneeling on the ground: "Cao Ye! ”

"The sinners are here."

"I've heard that you are arrogant and domineering in the local area, deceiving your superiors and subordinates, and returning the people to the people, but is it true?"

When Zhu Tianyang talked about being arrogant and domineering, deceiving his superiors and subordinates, and preying on the common people, he deliberately aggravated his tone, and his eyes still swept over Chen Bangfu's face from time to time.

Cao Ye has been an official for decades, and he has already become a human spirit, and his political sense of smell is not ordinarily sensitive, the emperor's words are obviously said to Chen Bangfu, he and Chen Bangfu are one and the same, and they are intolerable, and they want to suppress him all the time, so they naturally fully cooperate: "The minister has been wronged, and the minister has been cautious during his tenure, and he has been conscientious and conscientious in doing errands for the saint, and he does not dare to slack off in the slightest." However, the minister's qualifications are dull, and it is difficult to distinguish loyalty and treachery, so that his subordinates have many deceptions, and the ministers admit that they have the crime of negligence, but they will never dare to deceive the superiors and subordinates. ”

"Oh? In that case, then I sentence you to be demoted to one level and fined for one year, and you can plead guilty? ”

Cao Ye showed a look of sincerity and fear, and thanked Dade loudly: "Surrender to the sin, thank the saint for the grace of forgiveness, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

Chen Bangfu thought that he had a plan, and he still had some smugness in his heart, thinking that the emperor was just like this, and he was really a weak and incompetent lord as rumored.

Unexpectedly, he suddenly acted in such a play, his expression suddenly became a little unnatural, and the contempt gradually disappeared, and he finally had a trace of awe for the emperor in his heart, but he was not stupid, since the emperor did not tell him clearly, he was also happy to pretend to be confused.

After a small episode when the monarch and the ministers saw the ceremony, the music was loud, and the musicians who had already been prepared collectively played the song to welcome the king, Chen Bangfu got up on his horse, loosened the reins of the horse slightly, and led his subordinates to open the way in front, and the other civil and military officials surrounded Zhu Tianyang in the back and walked towards the South Xunmen.

When entering the city, Wang Kun stood beside Zhu Tianyang, holding his shoulders while whispering flattery: "The emperor's trick is really clever, and the old slave admires it." ”

Zhu Tianyang said quietly: "Now is the time to employ people, Chen Bangfu is a martial artist, a rough person, even if he lacks etiquette and behaves a little presumptuously, as long as the overall situation is not hindered, Wang Daban does not have to worry about him." ”

"The old slave can save it."

While talking, the group has arrived at the entrance of the urn city gate outside the Nanxun Gate, there is a gate tower on the door hole, and there is a jack gate erected, if the enemy attacks, you can quickly put down the jack gate to block the enemy from entering the city. The gate of the city of Urn is open to the west, and it is not on the same line as the main gate.

After the urn city, the main gate, is the South Gate Street, the bluestone paved street is quite spacious, but now both sides are kneeling full of people who come to greet the car, so it seems a little crowded.

Many places on the streets are full of garbage and filth, even in the cold winter, it still stinks. Most of the houses on both sides are two-storey or single-storey brick houses, and there are many bamboo houses unique to Guangxi, and most of the ground floors are shops, but most of them have been put on the door panels, and they are obviously in the process of being closed.

Although it is the New Year's Festival now, Zhu Tianyang does not feel much of the joy of the New Year, during the war, all industries withered, the market was depressed, the people fled, and on the way to the "Western Tour", there was often not a wisp of cooking smoke for dozens of miles, and there was not a trace of roosters and dogs barking.

Although the situation in Fucheng was better, it was not much stronger, because he saw that most of the people kneeling on the road were dressed in shabby clothes, and those who could wear new clothes and new jackets were less than ten percent as far as the eye could see.

There are also many people with vegetables on their faces, skinny, and godless eyes, Zhu Tianyang's heart is sour, people in troubled times are as cheap as dogs, and it is not easy for ordinary people to eat a few full meals all year round, not to mention those homeless people who have lost their homes and homeland because they are unwilling to shave their hair and change clothes!

"The long wife rests to cover up the tears, and mourns the difficulties of the people's livelihood." Zhu Tianyang said silently in his heart, his fists clenched tightly, it turned out that he was not the only one who sought to survive and seek peace in this chaotic world of cannibalism.

The people can still survive, and he has no way to retreat!

Is there only a dozen years to live after the crossing?

Can you only run away all the way, in the name of the son of heaven who escaped, and keep eating and waiting for death?

No!

Since such an extremely outrageous thing has happened, it is not impossible to fight for it and save a small life in this life in the troubled times!

In his previous life, he went from an ordinary civil servant with no background, relying on the dragon ascension technique and thick black science, and in just about ten years, he reached a high position at the department level, becoming a member of the party and being admired by thousands of people. If it weren't for a sudden illness that took his life, he could definitely climb higher. It's man-made, and he believes that he can still create miracles in this world!

From now on, Zhu Youlang is me, I am Zhu Youlang, I want to die and survive!

Gradually, in Zhu Youlang's confused eyes, the fear and fear hidden in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a face of perseverance and self-confidence, as well as the unique majesty of an aggressive superior hidden in the depths of his eyes!
