In the evening, it was getting dark. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The remnant sun is setting in the west, reflecting on the city wall, revealing mottled imprints.

At this time, the city wall was still hot and hot.

At this time, many people came out of their homes to hang out and look around for shady places to cool off. But there was an anxious and worried look on the faces of the people. Today, it has been more than a month, and not a drop of rain has fallen, and I don't know when it will rain.

This situation has made countless people anxious.

Wang Dafu is a citizen in the west of the city, and there is a mother-in-law in the family, both parents are dead, and there are no heirs.

For the drought, Wang Dafu does not feel too bitter.

No matter how hard the days are, can you survive the days when bandits were raging before? At that time, there were not only harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, but also robbers and robbers, and natural disasters that occurred from time to time, and life could not go on at all.

Although there is a shortage of water now, there is food to eat, and it is not like there is not a drop of water left.

In every household, there is always a little bit of water.

Even though the lips are almost dry and chapped, it is not the time when the mountains and rivers are exhausted.

Wang Dafu walked out of the door and saw many people gathered under a big tree.

"Did you hear that? It didn't rain for such a long time, because King Jing didn't cultivate virtue and politics. If King Jing had respected heaven and had compassion for others, there would have been no problems. ”

"Yes, yes, I think this natural disaster was caused by King Jing."

"It may be King Jing, but it could also be a natural disaster."

"At this point, somehow, King Jing hasn't made a move yet."

……

Discussions, one after another.

One by one, the people gathered together and kept talking.

Wang Dafu had an angry look on his face, retreated from the people, walked to the center of the crowd, and scolded loudly: "A group of white-eyed wolves, what is the drought caused by King Jing?" When King Jing didn't come to Donglai County, Huang County didn't encounter a drought? Didn't experience flooding? Haven't experienced a food shortage? ”

"Now that there is a drought, it all depends on King Jing's head."

"Why don't you ask from your heart, does King Jing have anything to be sorry for you?"

"There is a drought in Donglai County, and King Jing has sent countless soldiers to dig wells to get water, so that we will not run off the water."

"Anyway, there is food to eat, and no one has died."

The more Wang Dafu spoke, the more atmospheric he became, and he said loudly: "In previous years, when did the famine not die? In which year does drought and flood not kill? Now that he is living a good life, he began to say that King Jing is not. ”

"It is said that the grace of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring, and this is how you repay King Jing."

"It's a shame."

"It's a shame."

Wang Dafu's face was full of disdain, and he said: "Don't let me see you like this again, see you once, teach you a lesson." ”

After saying this, the people around him were suddenly unhappy.

looked at Wang Dafu's eyes, which were extremely unkind.

"Dafu, you didn't have a father and mother in your early years, and on weekdays, we, the neighbors, have helped you a lot. You married your mother-in-law, you have food, your waist is straight, and you start to help King Jing say that we are not moral. ”

In the crowd, an old man spoke.

The old man was already in his sixtieth year, his face was full of wrinkles, and his hair was gray.

Wang Dafu paused for a moment and said slowly: "I don't agree with Li Bo's words. Thanks to the care of you and the villagers, I have survived the hard times. But at that time, after all, I was full and hungry, and I never had enough food and clothing. Because of King Jing, we can eat enough and save food and money, and it is unfair to King Jing to say this now. You are an elder and should not be like this. ”

Lieber's face changed slightly, he snorted, and stopped talking.

Wang Dafu continued: "Uncle Li, after all, we have the benefits of King Jing, so we have the current life. Even if it is true that King Jing does not cultivate virtue and politics this time, we should not fall into the ground. And I firmly believe that it can't be the reason for King Jing. ”

When everyone heard this, their faces looked pensive.

Li Bo waved his hand and said impatiently: "Hmph, folks, scattered, scattered." ”

"Bell! Clang! ”

Suddenly, a gong sounded.

The eyes of countless people were attracted by the sound of gongs, which was a unique beating sound of the county government.

"King Jing will pray for heaven outside the city tomorrow."

The voice of the servant came from the street.

The two officials banged the gong, and while beating, they shouted: "King Jing will worship the heavens outside the city tomorrow and pray for blessings." ”

The officials shouted loudly, and the voices rang out in the streets.

After Wang Dafu heard this, he thought to himself: "King Jing sacrifices to the heavens and prays for blessings, doesn't it prove that he really doesn't cultivate virtue and politics?" Do you want to pray for rain from above? However, Wang Dafu thought to himself, Liu Xuan's sacrifice to heaven and praying for blessings is not a confession, and it cannot be said that admitting is not cultivating virtue and politics.

When Wang Dafu and the others heard the news, the people in the rest of the city also knew the news.

One by one, the officials spread the news everywhere in the city, so that the news of Liu Xuan's sacrifice to the heavens and praying for blessings spread inside and outside the city of Huangxian County.

In the city, somewhere dwelling.

A middle-aged man sat in the study, the middle-aged man's name was Tian Qu, and he was one of the many people sent by Tian Kai to Huang County.

Many people were arrested, but Tian Qu was still fine.

Because Tian Qu never moved, he stayed quietly in the city and waited for news.

"Report!"

A warrior walked in, came to Tian Qu and stood still, hugged his fists and said, "My lord, I just got the news that Liu Xuan will worship the heavens outside the city tomorrow and pray for blessings." ”

Tian Qu's eyes were sharp, and he said, "What about time and place?" ”

The samurai shook his head and said, "The exact time and place have not yet been announced. ”

Tian Qu's eyes flashed with a fine light, and he said coldly: "There is a drought in Donglai County, and the other people sent by Lord Tian keep jumping, and they were finally arrested and executed. They want to incite the people, but can the people overthrow Liu Xuan? It's simply impossible. Liu Xuan wants to sacrifice to the heavens and pray for blessings, this is our opportunity. Only by assassinating Liu Xuan can we truly complete the battle and solve all the problems. ”

The warrior was shocked when he heard this, and said, "Your Excellency wants to assassinate Liu Xuan?" ”

Tian Guan: "Why not?" ”

The samurai replied, "When we worship the heavens and pray for blessings, there must be countless soldiers stationed there, and we can't get close to them at all. If you want to get close to assassinate Liu Xuan, the loss will be very large. ”

Tian Qu sneered and said, "Who said I had to be close to the assassination? ”

When the samurai heard this, a puzzled look appeared on his face.

Tian Qu said: "If Liu Xuan wants to pray for blessings, he will definitely set up an altar. He offered sacrifices to the heavens on the altar, and we stood in the distance. We hid in the crowd and aimed our crossbow arrows at Liu Xuan, and we could assassinate him. The crossbow arrows were fired, and I didn't believe that Liu Xuan would survive. ”

The warrior thought for a moment and said, "Kill Liu Xuan, can we escape?" ”

Tian Guan: "Liu Xuan was shot on the spot, the soldiers stationed there must be disrupted, why can't we escape?" ”

The samurai nodded, and stopped talking.

Tian Qu instructed: "Go down and prepare, and mobilize all our people." When Liu Xuan sacrificed to the sky, our people all got together, so it was convenient to move. ”

"Yes!"

The samurai bowed and retreated.

Tian Qu sat alone in the tent, his eyes flashing with a cold light.

This time, he's going to win.
