"Say, where is the king of Chu!?"

The sergeant threw a punch violently, and the corner of Chu Guole Yin Zhongjian's mouth suddenly cracked a bloody mouth, blood and saliva splattered, and one of his teeth flew away. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The resistance in front of the palace of the king of Chu did not last long, the inner city was broken, so that Yin Sima was dead, there was no one to command, and the people were panicked. Under the attack of the fierce Huainan soldiers, the palace armor of the state of Chu only resisted for half an hour before the palace gate was broken, and Zhong Jian, who led them to fight, was also captured alive and brought to Bai Gong, where he was tortured to make him tell the whereabouts of the king of Chu.

"Phew!"

However, Zhong Jian seems to be old and twilight, and he is also extremely conservative in the matter of changing the law, but he is a hard bone, he spit another old tooth and blood at Bai Gongsheng's feet, this is his answer.

"Don't say? Keep playing! ”

Bai Gongsheng's face was gloomy, after killing two uncles in a row, his heart was as hard as iron in the ground, whether it was humiliation or scolding, he was fearless, and immediately bowed his head, let people hold daggers, and began to destroy Zhong Jian's fingers.

For a musician, the fingers that can play the sheng are everything to him, not to mention the ten fingers that are connected to the heart, and every time the pain is so heart-wrenching.

"The palace has been surrounded by us, not a single bird can fly out, the king must still be in the palace, where is it, do you say it!"

However, Zhong Jian endured the severe pain and resisted death without saying a word, until he fainted in pain, but he couldn't breathe, and was woken up by someone splashing him with a bucket of cold water.

At this time, Gao Yu hurriedly came and told Bai Gongsheng: "The lord, the ministers and others searched the palace, but they did not find the king of Chu, but found a secret passage, which can allow the two to go side by side, and the king of Chu must have crossed the wall from the palace through this secret passage and went straight to the outside of the city......"

"Secret passage?" Bai Gongsheng glanced at Zhong Jian suspiciously, and said, "Why don't I know about this?" ”

Zhong Jian was pinched by his chin again and raised his head, asking him to answer Bai Gongsheng's question.

He drooped his eyelids and said with a miserable smile: "The first king was worried that the division of Wu Shi Poying would be repeated, so before he died, he ordered Yin Sima to return to the queen of Ying, to dig a tunnel, in case of accidents, this matter is only known to Ling Yin Sima and us who fled with the first king back then, and even the craftsmen killed them afterwards." At that time, we all thought that the first king was too careful, who would have expected that there was really a big traitor in the country, and the authentic really came in handy. ”

Zhong Jian suddenly raised his voice: "Now that the king has left smoothly, Xiong Sheng, even if you steal Yingdu and kill Ling Yin Sima, all this is in vain." Soon, the king will be able to raise the royal banner again, and call on the loyal ministers and righteous men of the entire Chu State to come and exterminate you, and when the time comes, 100,000 troops will come to the city, and your death will come! ”

"I want to see who is dying."

With a wave of his hand, Bai Gong asked Zhong Jian, the minister who opposed his changes the most violently, to untie him from the stake and hang him to a rope, and wanted to hang him alive!

"Xiong Sheng, from the beginning of the change, you kept saying that everything was for the Chu State. But in the eyes of the old man, you are a child who builds a city with mud and sand by the water, thinking that he is doing the right thing, but in fact, if there is anything unsatisfactory about the city in his hand, he will only slap it in anger and destroy it! Yingdu, Chu State, in your eyes, but so, even if you set yourself up as Ling Yin and Sima, the Chu people will not follow you and listen to you! ”

Zhong Jian told the truth, and his scathing language took off Bai Gong's disguise, pointing out that he was a murderer who destroyed the country and killed his relatives for his own selfish desires.

"With that, you go to Huangquan and say it!"

Bai Gongsheng was furious, and after getting closer, he kicked away the wooden bench under Zhong Jian's feet, Zhong Jian suddenly swayed in the middle of the palace gate, his tongue stretched out, his eyes bulged, and finally he snorted, strangled his neck, and died......

He was hanged along with dozens of hundreds of noble children who resisted Bai Gongsheng and called him a "traitor", and their families would be implicated and still taken captive by Bai Gong's soldiers.

After being killed, these rebels were hung from various city gates, or on the former palace of the king of Chu, to proclaim the power of Bai Gong.

In this way, no one dared to resist.

Summer and May should have been the most lively season in Chu State, but Yingdu was strangely silent, and even the sound of frogs seemed to be afraid of Bai Gong's prostitution and did not dare to make noise, but the sky was ruthless, washing away the atrocities that were taking place in the city with a drizzle......

……

In May and June, the state of Chu has entered the rainy season, and the light rain stops when it falls, and these heads and corpses are exposed, and the long ropes pull the corpses to swing in the wind, and the crown of their court clothes has been stripped off, and the rain flows on the pale faces.

At this moment, only terror enveloped Yingdu, and the nobles were all closed, holding their breath under the military might of Bai Gong.

After a long time, the sound of clattering footsteps sounded in the palace building, which was the sound of clogs trampling on the rainwater, and the sound was very soft, as if it was afraid of waking up the dead.

Dressed in red, a solemn woman in palace clothes appeared in the palace gate, she crossed the high threshold under the guarded eyes of the soldiers, escorted by the spear and sword, and came to the bottom of the building.

As soon as she looked up, Ji Mi almost fainted, because she saw her husband, he was hung above his head, and he died a miserable death.

She forced herself not to cry, but angrily looked at Bai Gongsheng, who saluted her in front of her and called her "aunt".

"Wang Sunsheng, you are really very capable, since you have killed the two uncles of Ling Yin and Sima, can you also kill me, and then bulldoze the palace and exterminate the Chu State Office? Go to Yiling and burn the tombs of the previous kings of Chu together? ”

Bai Gong didn't say anything, when he first came to Yingdu, he was not less cared for by this aunt, yes, he once felt the long-lost family affection with Zixi and her, but that kind of touching only lasted for a short time, and was swallowed up by his ambition.

Seeing that Bai Gongsheng didn't answer for a long time, Ji Qi raised his head and said lightly: "Since you don't kill me, can I retrieve my deceased husband's body?" ”

"Auntie...... Please ...... it."

Bai Gongsheng made his way and let Ji Mi pass. Today he has killed too many people, Ji Mi, as the princess of the Chu State, will offer a large number of sacrifices every time the priest is sacrificed, and will also give alms in the West Market, she has a high prestige among the people, and there is no reason or benefit to kill her.

With Bai Gongsheng's consent, Zhong Jian's body was lowered from the building little by little, and Ji Mi watched him get closer and closer to him, and tears couldn't help but welled up in his eyes.

He was originally a son of the Zhong family, a family of music officials, and became the guard of King Chu Zhao, and in that escape, he saved her life many times, and Ji Mi also belonged to him. After the restoration of the state of Chu, she rejected her brother's will to marry her to other nobles, and declared that she would not marry Zhong Jian.

Because she can be sure of one thing, and that is that he may not be in a high position and hold power, but he will be able to treat her well and consistently.

As she expected, after marriage, the two fell in love with each other and gave birth to the talented and beautiful Zhongzi period. A family of three often harmonizes with each other and is happy. As for Zhong Jian's political tendencies, whether he is conservative or radical, and whether these actions will be beneficial to the Chu State in the long run, Ji Mi doesn't care, she only knows that he is the best husband......

Nowadays, husband and wife are incompatible.

The clothes were still the same as the ones he wore when he left in the morning, and the crown had not changed, but there was no warmth of flesh and blood under the clothes, and the broad shoulders that carried her on it when she was in exile in Yun Mengze were so cold; How many nights she had spent the arms on her pillow, but she could no longer lift them to protect her from the wind and rain.

There is also the slender index finger that she played the strings, but the flesh and blood became blurred because of the torture, but even so, Ji Mi hoped that he could use this finger to caress her face again, even if it was a while......

Despite her grief, Ji Mi silently tidied up her husband's appearance and straightened out his bun, but the piece of jade that Zhong Jian was wearing before had been torn off and snatched away, and I don't know if it was the person who killed him with his own hands.

It wasn't until the soldiers helped carry Zhong Jian's body onto the cart that Ji Mi looked at Bai Gongsheng faintly, and said hatefully: "Although I am a woman with little knowledge, I have also heard that those who kill their relatives, even if they go to Huangquan, will be punished by the souls of the ancestors and the ancestors, and cooked in oil ten thousand times!" Wang Sunsheng, if you can do this today, you will be rewarded in the future! ”

With that, she hid her face and wept while holding the hearse carrying her husband's body and walked away in the rain.

Until Ji Qi was far away, Bai Gongsheng was still indifferent.

He could feel the coldness in Ji Mi's words and the hatred reflected in his eyes, but so what? From the moment he started his army, it meant that he broke with the royal family of the entire Chu State, and the guilt of those ordinary people was all killed by him in his heart.

Those who achieve great things will do everything!

That night, Ji Mi hanged himself at home, and died for her husband, and was martyred for the rule of Zhongxing, which died before the Chu State was formed......

……

On the third day and night after the destruction of Yingdu, the city was lonely because of the curfew, and although there were still many people who walked over the wall, and normal life could not be restored, the situation was finally stabilized.

In the past, the side hall of the Chu palace was brightly lit, but the temple and maids were replaced by Huainan soldiers who fought with open fire, while Bai Gongsheng's strategists and generals sat in the hall horizontally, discussing what to do next.

"According to the previous plan, it is to follow the example of the Zhao clan in the Liuqing Rebellion, and in the name of the Qing monarch's side, attack the Yingdu, control the king of Chu, and then coerce the king to order the county dukes, so that the rest of the Chu country can be decided."

Shu Touch, the general who disguised himself as a businessman that day and helped the rebels break through the water gate of Yingdu, was very excited, he stood up and said loudly: "But now? Although Yingdu was taken, the king of Chu, where did the king of Chu go!? ”

Another adviser in charge of this matter came out and said: "On that day, the king of Chu, escorted by Gongsun Ning, Zhong Ziqi and others, took advantage of the chaos to go out of the city, and mixed with the fleeing refugees and disappeared......

Lanyi is located thirty miles north of Yingdu, is an important ferry port on the Han River, where the doctor Lan Yin Kang is a diehard loyalist of King Zhao of Chu, and his soldiers are hiding in the city, which is enough to deal with the chasing soldiers sent by Bai Gong......

"Then what are you waiting for, immediately attack Lanyi and capture the king of Chu!"

Shu Touch arched his hand and said to Bai Gong, who was sitting above: "Lord, now it is nothing more than because of the heavy casualties in Poyingdu, and it is no longer possible to divide too many people to go to Lanyi, we should continue to transfer troops from Huainan again, reinforce Yingdu, and then send 5,000 people north to pursue the King of Chu!" ”

Another strategist stood up and objected: "Even if you capture Lanyi, it's useless, the king of Chu may continue to move north at any time, and now he may have left, if he goes to Yancheng, it is the capital of Chu, the city is high and deep, I'm afraid it will be difficult to conquer easily." After a long time of troops under the city, the army of King Qin from elsewhere arrived, and under the attack from inside and outside, wouldn't it be a big defeat? ”

He said: "Now the plan, it is better to use the county princes and nobles in our hands to send a letter to their people, to coerce the cities around Yingdu to surrender, and then the lord will let the Huainan soldiers fight upstream along the river, as long as we control the river, half of the Chu country will be in hand, and we don't have to be in the lonely city of Yingdu, and we can't go out." ”

"Confused!"

Shu touched and scolded: "If you can win the king of Chu, the army of King Qin will not dare to force it, we can win the country of Chu without a fight, but you are greedy for the city and forget the king, this is putting the cart before the horse!" ”

What followed was a constant quarrel, in which every advisor and commander had the right to speak under the shogunate of Hakuko, and each of them seized the opportunity to express their opinions with all their might, arguing and arguing, and neither of them could convince the other.

And Bai Gongsheng, who has the right to make the final decision, did not speak, but just sat behind the desk with a gloomy face, sat quietly, and listened attentively.

Because of the failure to successfully capture Chu Wangzhang, this mutiny fell into the chaos of losing its goal, and the public said that the public was reasonable, and the mother said that the mother was reasonable, and it was difficult to make a choice for a while......

At this moment, Bai Gong's first adviser, Gao Yu, who had been silent for a long time, slapped the case a few times or three times, and only stood up when everyone was quiet.

"The lord, the second and third sons."

Gao Yu bowed his hand to everyone and said: "Confucius in the Central Plains has a saying that is very reasonable, if the name is not right, the word will not be good, and if the word is not good, the thing will not be done." If we can get the king of Chu in this mutiny, say that this entry into Ying is called to act, and then let the lord concurrently serve as Ling Yin and Sima in the name of ordering the Chu state, then we will do everything. However, now that the king of Chu has fled, he may call on the prince of other counties in Chu at any time. What we need most now is not quarrels, but a banner, a banner that allows us to continue to justify this mutiny, let the soldiers continue to fight willingly, and let the county officials and people of Chu see another possible banner! ”

"That's right."

"What Gao Tzu said is very true."

Everyone bowed their heads one after another, and even Bai Gong couldn't help but look sideways, and then everyone stopped talking and stared at him, wondering what the mastermind of Bai Gong had.

Gao Yu smiled: "The second and third sons, pardon is a Qi person, not a Chu person, so I boldly say my opinion on Chu Wangzhang here, don't be surprised." ”

He suddenly spat on the ground and said: "Chu Wang Zhang is neither a monarch nor a king to me, he is just a yellow-haired son, he is clothed and fed every day, he is blocked by the courtiers, and he doesn't know the people's suffering, why let him sit on Zhanghua Platform to rule the Chu State?" ”

Then he pointed to Bai Gongsheng and said: "Our lord is different, in terms of origin, he is the eldest grandson of King Chuping; In terms of merit, he is the only one in the Chu State in the past hundred years to expand the territory, recover the lost territory and destroy the Wu State; In terms of vision, he once stayed in Zhao State and knew the aggressiveness of Zhao Hou in the north, so he began to change the law in Chu State, hoping to enrich the country and strengthen the army, but he was blocked by traitorous ministers, so he had no choice but to admonish the army. The aspirations of the sovereign are clear to us, and I only hope to be Ling Yin and Sima to assist Chu Wang Zhang in revitalizing the Chu State...... But now Xiong Zhang doesn't know the heart of his loyal ministers, and he drills a hole like a lost dog and leaves, abandoning the country and fleeing. ”

Everyone was shocked and looked at each other, but they were stunned by his words, and some people even stood up and responded: "Yes, it was Bai Gong who gave us courtesy and Juelu, not any Chu Wangzhang." ”

And Bai Gongsheng's expression was a little surprised, in today's scene, Gao Yu did not ask for his consent in advance, what did this Qi people want to do?

Gao Yu nodded at Bai Gong, smiled mysteriously, and when he saw that the time was ripe, he stepped on the desk in full view of everyone, tore off his clothes, and revealed his left arm: "I once heard a nursery rhyme in Xishi, Da Chuxing, King Bai Sheng." Since Xiong Zhang can't keep the state of Chu, it's better to replace it, second and third sons, I think Bai Gong has the qualifications to be the king, and I think what I said makes sense, please give me my left arm! ”

"The lord should be the king of Chu!"

At this time, all the advisers and generals also got up, bared their left arms and shouted loudly, and occasionally one or two hesitants immediately followed suit.

They began to gather towards Bai Gongsheng, and before Bai Gongsheng, who was the protagonist, could speak, Gao Yu and several others put on a vermilion ochre robe that had been prepared for him, and put on a crown for him, and pushed and pushed to the main hall of the palace of the king of Chu, and let him sit on the luxurious king's bed.

Then, under the leadership of Gao Yu, everyone took a few steps back, knelt on the ground and made a bow, and shouted to Bai Gong, whose sound shook the sky and resounded in the palace of the previous kings of Chu State.

"Da Chuxing, King Bai Sheng!"

"King Chu!"

"King!"

"King Chu?" This thing came a little unexpectedly, Bai Gongsheng was still a little dizzy, looking at the ministers kneeling down in front of him, as well as the ochre robe on his body, touching the crown on his head, he kind of understood, this was designed by Gao Yu and others from the beginning......

Since this mutiny has happened, there is no way to turn back, and if the king of Chu is not caught, they may be regarded as rebellious encirclement and suppression at any time. But if Bai Gong is called the king, the situation is different, this is a prince and grandson who has the right to claim the throne, expelled the faint monarch and his son, and replaced him, as long as the flag is played, even if it is hard, they will have a few chances of winning, and those soldiers who risk death to mutiny will have some confidence in their hearts......

In this way, there is a big flag in his hand, but there is also a great disadvantage to doing so, that is, a civil war in Chu with an immeasurable scale is about to break out, and the situation is no longer solved by a decapitation operation.

However, even so, listening to the mountain cry in his ears, Bai Gong closed his eyes a little intoxicated, and after a while, he was reluctant to take off the crown on his head and body, and he was reluctant to leave this position above ten thousand people.

"I am the King of Chu...... The king of the state of Chu. ”

It wasn't until this moment that he understood one thing.

What changes to the law, what is for the people of Chu State, are all fake, and they are just means to achieve the goal.

All he wants is this throne! He did all this for his own ambition!

"Widow ......" was the first time he had tried to use that title.

Wang Sunsheng smiled: "The widow should hold a three-foot sword, follow the ancestors of Yu Lie, think that the king of Chu will bring a new era to Chu State!" ”
