The drums of the Yingdu Drum Tower are still the same, and they will only sound when they are important to pay tribute -——to their ancestors, pray to the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, swear to go on the expedition, or celebrate the victory of the three armies...... All of these were significant events in the history of the state of Chu. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But today, they are screaming for warning, screaming for help, and screaming for Yingdu being broken again!

The gate of the inner city was slowly opened, and surrounded by Huainan soldiers, standing on the chariot, Bai Gongsheng entered the inner city as a victor.

Compared with the simple houses, the poor people in Lilu who have no place to stand everywhere, and the outer Guo where sewage flows, the inner city of Yingdu is a completely different world: here is full of Zhumen Daewoo, high beams and horizontal buildings, and the mansions of the princes, county princes, and nobles surround the palace of the king of Chu from the outside to the inside according to the level of status.

The county nobles also organized their clan soldiers to resist Bai Gongsheng on the city wall, but unfortunately their combat effectiveness was not strong, and in the face of the Huainan Hundred Battles Division that participated in the battle to destroy Wu, they had no power to fight back, although they wore solid armor and carried sharp arrows, they were slaughtered by Bai Gongsheng.

Seeing the corpses and overturned carriages and horses everywhere in the streets and alleys, Bai Gongsheng suddenly thought that when his adoptive father Wu Zixu led Wu Jun into Yingdu, what he saw and heard was the same?

"Nope." He shook his head, he was forced to raise troops to carry out a coup d'état this time, just to gain the authority of the Chu State, not a barbaric invasion and killing.

"The order goes down, and the nobles' mansions who have not resisted are not allowed to enter without permission."

As for those who resisted, he did not show mercy to the women, hoping that they would turn to support and appreciate him, but resolutely declared that the mansions, the possessions, and the women of those people were all at the mercy of the soldiers!

This order provoked a rude cheer, and the soldiers of Huainan were not unconditionally loyal to Bai Gongsheng, they took great risks to follow Bai Gong's rebellion, and if there was not enough material reward, they would also be dissatisfied......

Let the 5,000 soldiers scatter to suppress the rebels and control all parts of the inner city, while Bai Gongsheng himself led the elite and went straight to Puxu Street.

Puxu Street is the residence of Yin and Sima of Chu State, and it is also the only way to the palace......

Bai Gongsheng still remembers that a year ago, he successfully helped Gou Jian destroy Wu, and after seizing a large area of Wu's territory, he escorted the captives back to Yingdu, which was also the route he took. It was his most glorious day, and he drove to the capital in a tall horse-riding chariot, and was greeted with cheers and applause, and the eyes of the people shone brightly, and the nobles came out of the courtyard and crowded the buildings.

Lan Zhi has changed but not fragrant, Quan Hui has turned into grass, the summer of Chu is the season of flowers, Pi Zhi, Zilan, Fungus Gui, colorful petals rain down to the returning heroes, and the whole Ying is grateful to Bai Gongsheng for saving them from the hatred and fear of Wu State. Bai Gongsheng accepted this as a matter of course, and then walked west along Puxu Street all the way to the palace......

At that time, he really wanted to be a hero of the Chu people.

Now, the bustle is gone, the long street is in shambles, and the killing continues in the distance, it is the vanguard of the White Princes who are cleaning up the resistance. There were dead corpses nearby, and Bai Gongsheng didn't know if among these resisters who were in sharp armor and blinded to death, there were any people who stood on the building and cheered for themselves that day......

When he arrived outside Ling Yin's mansion, memories came like a tide again, Bai Gongsheng remembered that after sacrificing prisoners in the palace that night, he had a night talk with his uncle and father Xi Bingzhu to discuss the change of the law, Zixi was still cautious about the change of the law, but Bai Gongsheng used the various results he had achieved in implementing the new law in Huainan to tempt Zixi, and used the Chu State to change the law, and he would die in the Zhao State ten or twenty years later to intimidate him.

"I will bring a new era to the state of Chu!"

In the end, Bai Gongsheng swore that in Zixi's heart, his trust in Bai Gongsheng also outweighed the fear of turmoil caused by the change, and he was given power to implement the new policy.

But why did things become what they are today?

"It's all to blame for the bad government of the Chu State, it's all to blame for the county government's disregard for justice, and it's all to blame for the uncle's head and rat!"

Gritting his teeth, Bai Gongsheng plucked up his courage and pushed open the door of the familiar Ling Yin Mansion.

There was also a tragic battle here, and as soon as Bai Gongsheng lowered his head, he could see that the lame old man who had opened the door and led him in the past died tragically by the door, and he still held his post until he died, holding the deadbolt in his hand, trying to prevent unauthorized outsiders from entering.

And the soldiers of the Yin Mansion also fell sideways on the side of the flowerbed path, this rebellion came suddenly, their number was too small, even if they tried their lives to no avail.

Gao Yu, who was also dressed in armor, came to greet Bai Gong, and the strategists of this era could not only dance and write, but also carry a sword to the battlefield and cut off their heads to gain military merits.

He reported: "Lord, Gongsun Ning is nowhere to be found. ”

Gongsun Ning is the son of Ling Yin Zixi and the cousin of Bai Gongsheng, and now the entire mansion has been occupied by the rebels, but there is no trace of him, probably fleeing.

"Gongsun Ning is a brave person, not to be afraid, where is Yin?"

Bai Gongsheng was very concerned about Zixi's life and death, and whether he could control Ling Yin and the king of Chu was the key to this mutiny.

"...... in the dormitory"

Under the guidance of Gao Yu, Bai Gong walked into Ling Yin Zixi's house.

He had been in and out of the room countless times over the past year, and each time he had to respectfully take off his shoes and enter only in his footwear, and his sword had to be placed outside to retrieve when he came out.

But this time, Bai Gongsheng was fully armed, and he stepped inside, followed by two guards, who were as silent as him......

The inner room was dark, for the outside was in a mess, and the maidservant had fled, so that no one lit the candle after it had been extinguished. Bai Gongsheng personally took charge of the lamp, and the faint light suddenly filled the room, and then walked inside, before he saw anyone, Bai Gongsheng smelled a damp smell of medicine, followed by a cough.

"Ahem, Ning'er, is that you?"

According to Gao Yu, Zixi was already in a critical condition and his mind was a little unconscious, and Bai Gong stepped forward, and his skin squeaked when he stepped on the plank, as if it was a portrayal of his inner struggle and torment.

"Uncle, it's me." He said softly in a habitual voice.

"Win?"

The voice froze, and then laughter rang out: "It's you?" Speaking of which, you haven't come to see the old decay for half a month......"

Zixi said as he sat up from the bed tremblingly.

A few feet away, Bai Gongsheng glanced at Zixi quickly, threw him a stiff smile, and then bowed down respectfully, his long sword, stained with the blood of another uncle, touched the cold wooden floor.

Zixi does seem to be in poor health, in the past month, he has broken his heart about the preservation and abolition of the change, and whether Bai Gongsheng will give up or preserve, his hair is grayer than before, and his eyes are full of exhaustion.

But looking at Bai Gongsheng's eyes, he was still kind, when today's upheaval happened, Zixi was seriously ill, and he was still at a loss about everything that happened outside, and even his son Gongsun Ning ran to tell him three times that Bai Gongsheng was reversed, and he didn't want to believe it.

At this moment, Zixi, who was already a little sick and confused, even told the matter as a joke.

"I said to Ning, I am like a bird, and Sheng is like a bird's egg, he has always been under my wings, and one day he will hatch and mature, and he will be able to inherit my career, Ling Yin and Sima's positions are still waiting for him, how can he rebel?"

seemed to remember the big basket that Bai Gongsheng had stabbed in the past few months, Zixi finally realized that it was impossible for Bai Gongsheng to succeed Ling Yin and Sima, so he stopped his reverie and said helplessly: "Sheng, don't worry, although Le Yin Zhongjian and all the county dukes will deprive you of your title and fief, but you have made great contributions to the Chu State, I will definitely protect you!" ”

Bai Gongsheng lowered his head, he had imagined Zixi's expression, there was anger, regret, and even sword against him like Ziqi, but he didn't expect that this uncle was already old and confused to such a point, but he still believed in him and protected him......

But what's the use of saying this now!

"That's enough, uncle!"

Bai Gongsheng was ruthless, and after the old man's babbling words, he stood up, and his armor rattled.

Zixi's old face was full of puzzlement and doubt, and he just watched Bai Gongsheng approach step by step, five steps, three steps, one step, this is the distance between their uncle and nephew when they talked in the past.

"Uncle no longer has to sigh for the future of the Chu State, no longer has to be in a dilemma between his nephew and the county prince, and no longer has to be bent over by the government affairs of the case, I, Xiong Sheng, swear here, I will take care of everything in the Chu State!"

"Katsu, what are you going to do?" For the first time, Zixi discovered that his foreign nephew, once he no longer bent his knees, was so tall and majestic that he was completely looking down on him.

"Since your nephew can't inherit you...... Uncle. ”

Bai Gongsheng grabbed Zixi's arm with his left hand, while he lifted his sword with his right hand! That sword is still stained with the blood of Sima Ziqi! But the sharp blade, still reflected in the candle flame, reflecting an impatient light!

His eyes were full of fierceness, like a wolf's son.

"Then I'll have to replace you!"

Inside the house, the sound of swords moved, the shadows of candles flickered, and then they returned to calm......

……

Half a moment later, the candle flame in the room was extinguished, Bai Gongsheng walked out slowly, he walked in front of Gao Yu, looked up at the gloomy sky, and suddenly asked:

"Gao Yu, let me ask you, what was in mind when Wu Wangfu sent the dead son Xu?"

"Minister, I don't know ......"

Gao Yu Ne didn't dare to speak, and when he lowered his head, he saw that on the sword on Bai Gongsheng's waist, the blood stains were thicker......

The rain in Yingdu was raining down, but Bai Gongsheng turned a blind eye to the raindrops, and when he walked to the clearing, he still washed the blood on his sword by the rain and washed away the sins he had committed.

Looking at the dark sky that seemed to be crying for Ling Yin and Sima, Bai Gongsheng muttered:

"The plate of Shang Tang inscribes: Gou is new, new every day, and new every day; "Kanghe" said: Be a new people; "Poem" said: "Although Zhou is an old state, its life is renewed!" “

"No matter how great the old beams and timbers are for this house, once they are old, they must be replaced, so that the building can be renovated continuously. Uncle, go to the former king with peace of mind! Xiong Sheng swears here that he will definitely bring a new era to the Chu State! ”
