Wu Jieshuai proclaimed himself the King of Shu

Cheng Taiwei and Cheng out of the gorge

It is said that after Wu Xi accepted the title of king of the Jin State, after making relevant preparations, Zhang Bang told the people of Sichuan: Shu is fertile for thousands of miles, self-unified, and has always been the country of abundance. In order to protect the millions of people in Sichuan and Shu and reduce the tax endowment, the Wu family conformed to the will of the people, and from now on, it was established as Shu, and the officials and people of the Song Dynasty listened to their free access.

Sichuan Xuanfu made Cheng Song panic when he learned about it. Before, Xie Yuanming, the pacification envoy of Da'an Zhijun and the pacification envoy of Chengdu Mansion and the governor of Chengdu Mansion, reminded him and asked him to report to the imperial court, but he always thought it was a big fuss, and he didn't want to contradict Wu Xi, so he ignored it. The Jin people besieged the monk Yuan, the Xingzhou Wu army did not support, resulting in the loss of the monk Yuan, the deputy capital of Jinzhou Qu Changshi specially reported: The Jin people only with tens of thousands of troops, attacking our border defense area, and Wu Dashuai has more than 60,000 heavy troops, not only did not send troops to resist, but retreated step by step, which attached to the Jin State rebellious Song Dynasty heart is obviously exhausted, Tai Lieutenant, you can prepare early.

Cheng Song replied: "General Qu, I'm afraid you are too careful, it's not that serious." ”

Qu Changshi was very disappointed, "Captain, you have to think twice." ”

After the Jin people captured Xihe and Chengzhou, Cheng Song sent a letter to ask Wu Xi to send troops to recover, Wu Xi replied: Fengzhou Xihe is rugged and mountainous, not suitable for cavalry to gallop vertically and horizontally, the land in Hanzhong is flat, and after the Jin people capture it, our department only needs to send 3,000 cavalry to defeat it. Although he was helpless against the Wu family's army, which had a heavy army and had been entrenched in Xingzhou for decades, he was unwilling to clash with Wu Xi head-on, so he had to give in, but he knew in his heart that this was clearly a lie that deceived people.

At that time, Cheng Song wanted to report Wu Xi's various bad deeds and abnormal state to the imperial court, and thought that reporting to the imperial court was not to report to Han Pingzhang. Wouldn't it be a matter of letting his old man add to the blockage if he reported the situation here. is this Wu Xi's really bad intentions, what can the imperial court do to Wu Dashuai, who supports the army and is proud of Sichuan Shu. Now, can the imperial court still send troops to quell the rebellion? At the beginning, it was a mistake to let Wu Xi return to Xingzhou, but now, I am afraid it will be difficult to recover.

When Wu Xi withdrew his troops from Hechi and gave up the Dasan Pass, Cheng Song finally saw clearly: Wu Xi was really going to rebel and be the emperor like Shi Jingjiao, a Shatuo man.

Knowing that the Jin people burned, killed and looted, the people ran for their lives, were ravaged, and the city was boiling, Cheng Song thought most about saving his family's lives and leaving the place of right and wrong safely.

That night, Lidong's pacification envoy and Zhixing Yuanfu Liu Jia, and Lizhou East Road Tea and Horse Division raised Fan Zhongren to find Cheng Song.

Liu Jia was an impatient, and he said: "Cheng Shumi, my brother came here today to invite you to come forward and raise troops to kill thieves. ”

Cheng Song asked: "Liu Shuai, how many soldiers can you use?"

"About two thousand."

"Okay, you have 2,000 people, and I have more than 2,000 men, let's just say that these soldiers listen to us, and these thousands of people can kill Wu Xi? Isn't it to hit a stone with an egg and kill yourself? Cheng Song replied with a bitter face.

Liu Jia also wanted to say, Cheng Song gave up, "Liu Dashuai, forgive the incompetence of this official, you can find someone else." ”

Liu Jia and Fan Zhongren had no choice but to withdraw, remembering Cheng Song's face, and scolded: "Waste, greedy for life and afraid of death, this kind of goods is actually in power, and there is no one in the Great Song Dynasty." ”

Back at the government office, Liu Jia decided to send someone to report to the imperial court. Considering that Wu Xi would definitely send troops to guard the road from Sichuan and Shu to Beijing, he summoned his subordinates to explain:

Wu Xi rebelled, lived up to the high expectations of the court, recognized the thief as his father, defected to the enemy, and we did not share the sky with him. Now, the imperial court is not aware of this matter, and the pacification envoy is ready to pay a reward of 500 yuan, recruit warriors, and report to Lin'an.

Fortunately, a total of five people signed up, and after selection, it was determined that Zhang Jin and Li Shan would enter Beijing to report the news.

Besides, Cheng Song, since Liu Fan and the others left, he became more and more uneasy, and hurriedly ordered his wife and concubine to pack up their soft luggage and lead a family of twenty-three to the direction of Micang Mountain. After arriving in Langzhou, he got on the boat and changed to the waterway and went down the river to Chongqing. The problem arose, and all the ships were suspended.

Cheng Song was so anxious that he had to write a letter to Wu Xi, hoping that the king of Shu would be magnanimous, give his family a way to live, and allow him to buy a boat and go down the east of the river.

A few days later, someone from the Xingzhou Metropolitan Department brought him a wooden box. When Cheng Song saw this, he was so frightened that he thought that Wu Xi sent a sword to him to cut himself.

It turned out that Cheng Song's every move was under the surveillance of Wu's men, and seeing that Cheng had no act of resistance, he told him: The privy council stays in Sichuan, and Shu can give high-ranking officials such as Taishi, who are willing to return to their hometowns.

Cheng Song looked at it, in addition to this letter, there were also some hand-decorated jewelry, and he was overjoyed. Buy a new ship, travel day and night, and go out of the Three Gorges to Hunan. A hanging heart finally let go, raised his eyes to the west, remembered the many days of running, couldn't help but burst into tears, and sighed: "Thank God, Lao Tzu's head was finally saved." ”

Cheng Song knew that there would be no good fruits to eat when he returned to Beijing, so he went straight to his hometown of Qingyang, Chizhou.

Later, after Wu Xi was killed, the imperial court issued an edict to dismiss him, demote him to three officials, send him to live in Yunzhou, and then demote him to the deputy envoy of the Shunchang Military Festival, and settle in Lizhou. He also instructed the deputy envoy of the Guozhou regiment to be resettled, and died in Pennsylvania.

On the eighteenth day of the first month of the third year of Kaixi, Wu Xi imitated the honor guard of the Son of Heaven, took the Yellow House Zuoxu, announced the emperor's throne in Xingzhou, called the King of Shu, changed Xingzhou to Xingde Mansion, took Xingzhou Mansion as the palace, and changed Yuan Dehui.

Wearing a dragon robe and a crown, and ascending to the Ninety-Five Honor, Wu Xi didn't feel a little fluttery. Send someone to tell your aunt Zhao the good news. This person is the wife of Wu Gong, the eldest son of Wu Jue, who is more than eighty years old, and when he heard someone talk about it, he replied angrily:

"You tell Erbazi that this is a great rebellion, and it will be destroyed by heaven and earth. I don't have this nephew in the Zhao family. ”

As soon as the people sent out finished their confessions, they saw an old lady shouting and breaking in, pointing at him and scolding: "Erbazi, you who have been stabbed a thousand times, you recognize the thief as your father for this broken throne, and you are willing to be a traitor and traitor, you are a sinner, you have destroyed the foundation of the Wu family, and ruined the reputation of the Wu family, and your ancestors and future generations will curse you, drink your blood and eat your flesh." ”

If you look closely, it is his aunt Liu. I had no choice but to be cheeky and help her out.

The old lady scolded as she walked with tears in her eyes, "Deceive the world and destroy the ancestors, pigs and dogs are not as good, you are a sinner of the Wu family." ”

Wu Xi, who was full of joy, was troubled by these two old ladies, and suddenly felt discouraged. drove away Concubine Chen, who was accompanying her, and listened to the howling cold wind, and scenes of the past came to mind.

The eldest brother Wu Ying's eldest son, Wu Yi, read the list for the control of Xingyuan Mansion, his expression was abnormal, and he said to his wife, My Wu family's good days are over, and I don't know how many people are going to land.

The concubines in the family are called noble concubines and virtuous concubines, which are noisy and annoying.

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the general Zhang Liji opened the gate of Fengzhou City to welcome the Jin soldiers. The Jin soldiers were unscrupulous, burning, killing and looting, and dozens of women from good families were ravaged.

Previously, Guo Cheng was sent to make Xiang Wanyan Gangjin offer a table of gratitude, an oath table, and He Quanshu attached to the three tables, and ceded the four states of Jie, Cheng, He, and Feng to Jin, and determined to take the first line of Tieshan as the boundary. Wanyan Gang took Guo Cheng to Yanjing to restore his life, was rewarded by the emperor, and was appointed as the deputy envoy of Shaanxi Xuanfu, and was promoted to the third level.

The whole country of Jin rejoiced, the prince and hundreds of officials congratulated, and the court replied with an edict and gave an oath. The emperor told Guo Cheng: "Your lord is loyal and obedient, and he will take all of Shu to annex him, and I approve of this practice very much." However, the time of the establishment of the country is short, and I am afraid that the Song army will invade and attack, and the people will be uneasy, and all the affairs to be done have been entrusted to the deputy envoy of Xuanfu Wan Yangang. If there is an emergency, I will send someone to study it immediately. During the Dading period, your lord had been seen for many years, and I appreciated the righteousness of your lord, and I never forgot it, and I wanted to get his portrait as if I had seen his face. Now send an envoy to knight him, and bring back the portrait when he returns. ”

Jin took Gao Qi, the master of the Lintao Mansion, as the envoy, and Qiao Yu, a scholar of Hanlin, as the deputy envoy. Go to Xingzhou to be officially canonized.

The founding of Wu Shu needs talents. All the former Song officials remained in office, but some did not pick up the promotion. Zhifeng Prefecture Wang Yi, Zhijie Prefecture Gongchen refused to accept the appointment of Shu, and the state and county officials Yang Xiunian, Zhan Jiuzhong, Li Daochuan, Deng Xingshan, Lai Dayou, and Yang Taizhi abandoned their officials and left. Chen Xian, a famous scholar in Shu, claimed to see through the red dust and did not want to be an official, so he immediately shaved his hair and became a monk, Shi Zhitai smeared his eyes with ink, and said to the people who asked him to go out of the mountain, what I see is darkness, and whoever wants to force me will stab my eyes blind.

What's even more powerful is Yang Chenzhong, the general judge of Xingyuan Mansion and the Quan Zhi Da'an Army, who tore his appointment book for the king of Shu to shreds, shouting:

I was born a person of the Great Song Dynasty, and I am a ghost of the Great Song Dynasty when I die, and I will never be an official of the Shu Kingdom.

The senator who announced the edict was anxious, "Bold, you dare to tear up the holy decree of the King of Shu!" ”

Yang Chenzhong sneered, "What is the King of Shu, a son emperor who recognizes a thief as his father, and uses a piece of stinky paper to buy the officials of the Great Song Dynasty, don't think about it!" ”

"Okay, you Yang Chenzhong, you dare to despise Wujun, be careful of your head!"

"The eldest husband stands up to the sky and the earth, and would rather die standing than be a traitor and traitor."

The senator shouted at the guards, "Don't talk nonsense with him, take him to the king of Shu." ”

Yang Chenzhong saw that there was no way out, so he asked to wait outside the door, and he cleaned up before leaving. I don't know, a long time has passed, and I don't see it.

When I opened the door, I saw that the man had bled to death.

In just a few days, Wu Xi felt a strange kind of ups and downs. It turns out that the taste of this gold king is not good, and he has no bottom of what will happen in the future.
