When Liu Mi was struggling in the dungeon of Jingzhao Mansion, Chen Hongzhi, the real demon of killing the king, had already wiped his bloody hands, threw away the evil dagger, bid farewell to the green tiles and red walls of Chang'an, and went to Yangzhou to take up his post. Although the big people behind the scenes made Liu Mi their scapegoat, Chang'an at that time was undoubtedly a big political whirlpool. As a precaution, Chang'an can't stay. Fortunately, Chen Hongzhi's master was still more righteous and arranged him to Yangzhou, and his official position was that of the Huainan Supervisor who Tutu Chengxuan once did.

Although it is not fireworks in March, the most beautiful season in Yangzhou, however, "the world is divided into three bright moonlit nights, and two points of scoundrels are Yangzhou", Yangzhou is really a beautiful city, at any time. The Grand Canal, which is "so far thousands of miles away", the Slender West Lake where "the spring breeze stays everywhere", the small Qinhuai that "sings at night everywhere in the green buildings", the Twenty-fourth Bridge where "the bright moon is bright and the moon is light", the Qionghuaguan of "the bright moon and the moon at the head of the building", the small Jinshan of "the pavilion is high and low, the wind and the moon are prosperous", and the Wuting Bridge of "the moon mirror with clear waves" ,...... All of them are fascinating and shaken. However, the most beautiful thing in Yangzhou is the clear spring of clear water that can be seen everywhere, the water is swaying, the green shadow is swaying, and the beautiful Yangzhou decoration is extraordinarily enchanting. It is no wonder that "riding a crane down to Yangzhou" has become a dream that literati and artists will never wake up. The imperial examination case of the third year of Yuanhe made the then prime minister Li Jifu the target of public criticism, and Chang'an could not stay any longer, Li Jifu chose Yangzhou without thinking about it, as a harbor for himself to live and heal, which shows the position of Yangzhou in his heart.

Beautiful Yangzhou is also a good place to prosper and prosper. The excavation of the Grand Canal brought Emperor Yang of Sui the tragic ending of death and national annihilation and endless infamy; What has brought Yangzhou is nearly a thousand years of urban prosperity. You see, on the Grand Canal, there are hundreds of ships and thousands of sails, and there are many shadows of ships; On the banks of the Grand Canal, there are many shops and businessmen, which is a prosperous scene. This was especially true in Yangzhou in the Tang Dynasty, so much so that there was even a saying of "one promotion and two benefits" at that time. Even if you are not a literati and ink writer, even if you have no ink on your chest, even if you can't appreciate the ten thousand customs of Yangzhou, but the prosperity of Yangzhou is enough to constitute a huge temptation to make you rush to it. In the fifth year of Yuanhe, the bow and arrow library made Liu Xiguang's bribery case put Tutu Chengguang on the cusp, for his own plan to cut the domain by force, Li Chun endured the pain and expelled Tutu Chengguang from Chang'an, and the place Tutu Chengguang chose was also Yangzhou!

However, although Yangzhou is beautiful and rich, if you have no power and no power, you run around all day long to make a living, or be a petty official like a sesame mung bean, and look up to people all day long, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, I am afraid that you will not be able to bear it. Therefore, it is very important to be able to be an official in Yangzhou, but it is even more important to be an official.

The prison army, since the Merry Emperor Li Longji ingeniously set up this official position, has always been in the hands of those men who do not have complete parts, because, because they, only they, are the emperor's most trusted people. It is precisely for this reason that whether it is a commander of the army or a local official, as long as his head is not an elm pimple, or he is squeezed by the door, he will definitely deliberately have a good relationship with the prison army, at least he will not provoke them for no reason. Therefore, in the locality, the prison army is like a soil emperor, who can take what he wants. The seat of the Huainan Supervision Army is in Yangzhou, a good place for rich and oily, so the status of the Huainan Supervision Army is even higher than that of other supervision troops. Moreover, once the Huainan Prison Army returned to the capital, it had the qualifications to be a lieutenant and privy envoy of the Protector Army, and had unlimited possibilities to enter the core power circle of Chang'an. Back then, under pressure, Tutu Chengxuan was expelled from the capital by Li Chun, and the official position arranged for him was the Huainan Prison Army. Compared with such a fat shortage, Chen Hongzhi's former official position, a regular servant, can be said to be nothing. Therefore, leaving Chang'an this time, for Chen Hongzhi, is not so much derogatory, but rather a share of the pie that belongs to him.

It's just that I believe that the Huainan prison army, who is extremely poor and luxurious and pursues joy during the day, will definitely be afraid of the night. The night, the endless night, will become his lingering bitterness. What also lingers, there is also a trace of coldness, that is the coldness of Li Chun's corpse, Chen Hongzhi can wipe away the blood on his hands, but he can't wipe the trace of coldness that remains in his fingertips, and he can't wipe the panic in his heart.

Such painful and happy days, Chen Hongzhi has lived for fifteen years. Fifteen years later, Emperor Li Chun of Daxing had already turned into a handful of loess, and Chen Hongzhi, who was long overdue, finally became a steamed bun filling. As for the cause of death, of course, it will not be the end of life, how can a murderer of the king have a good death? He was strangled to death, and the person who ordered him to be strangled was the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty at that time, the grandson of Li Chun of Tang Xianzong, the son of Li You of Tang Muzong, and Li Ang of Tang Wenzong. I don't know if Chen Hongzhi remembered Li Chun's dying words at the moment of death: "You will be punished!" ”
