Chapter Eighty-Five: The Great War Is Imminent, and the Loyal Ministers Are Unjustly Jailed

Chunji's three knighthood system undoubtedly gave 30,000 black-armored warriors a bombshell.

In the past, they paid for the Hades Sect for free, and even if they died, no one asked or cared. Well, now that you can be knighted and rewarded as long as you have military merits, who doesn't want to laugh at this unexpected gain?

However, when the samurai were carried away by the merits, Zong Wusheng was as calm as ever. He pondered for a moment and asked, "Chunji, you only have a reward system, but no punishment system, what if someone openly disobeys the rules?" ”

Chun Yan is so smart, he immediately thought of countermeasures, rolled his eyes, and whispered in Zong Wusheng's ear with the only palm he had left: "My lord, the current situation is special, we have to meet the Zheng family's attack, the punishment system is not good now, for the time being, after the war subsides, we will make in-depth planning." ”

After hearing this, Zong Wusheng was not only shocked but also appreciative in his heart, he looked at Chun's bald head and said with a smile: "I dare to guarantee that you will be famous in history in the future and recorded in the history of the Xianbi Continent." ”

"Lord Xie's praise is also false. He only has great ambitions, and there is no way to serve the country, and now he can get the grace of the adults, and he will definitely be the liver and brain, assist the adults, and then die. ”

Just now, many warriors heard Zong Wusheng's question, and they all pricked up their ears, wanting to hear what kind of punishment those who committed foul play would be. However, Chun Yan whispered and didn't let them hear it, and he was very unconfident in his heart.

Zong Wusheng realized this, and said with a smile: "As for the punishment system, we will discuss it later, start now, the time has come to test you, for the sake of honor, for the sake of justice, fight!" ”

"Fight for justiceβ€”"

Uja then began to set up, announcing that the old samurai would take three steps back and the backward samurai would take two steps forward. Suddenly, the squad separated, and the 10,000 people who had been captured later and forced to become black-armored samurai stood at the forefront.

Uja announced loudly: "Ten thousand warriors followed Kong Qi into Hangu and stationed in Shuangyu Village. The remaining 20,000 warriors will be stationed with me to guard the branch of the Underworld Sect and swear to defend our territory. ”

"Yes." Thirty thousand samurai responded in unison.

Kong Qi stepped forward and waved his big hand: "Ten thousand warriors, go with me-"

The sound of neat footsteps sounded, and Kong Qi was in front of the 10,000 samurai, leading the samurai to march towards Hangu Pass. The 20,000 warriors, under the leadership of Uja, walked out of the gate of the Underworld Sect in an orderly manner and stationed in front of the gate to prepare for defense.

……

Lingzhou.

The Zheng family headquarters was arranging the troops in an orderly manner, Zheng Wuqian stood in the Zheng family school field and personally ordered the troops, facing tens of thousands of Zheng family troops, Zheng Wuqian was excited.

Eighteen years have passed, Zheng Wuqian has great ambitions, dreaming of one day wielding the battlefield and leading the Jin Ge Iron Horse to kill the Quartet. However, because of his father's position in the court, Zheng Wuqian could only stay in the Zheng family to manage the family, and occasionally had conflicts with the Kong family, which was also a small-scale fight, how could he be so proud?

"The Zheng family's boy. Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, today, we are finally going to pick up the weapons in our hands and fight for the Zheng family, are you ready? ”

The Zheng family's army shouted in unison: "Fight for the Zheng family, always ready, always ready to ......"

The voice fluttered in the sky above Lingzhou, shaking the sky and the earth, and many Lingzhou people could hear it, and they were talking about why the Zheng family put on such a big battle.

Inside the Confucian Chamber.

The elders gathered together, their faces heavy. Kong Ao said in a deep voice: "The Zheng family is about to move, and the big war is finally about to start." ”

"Patriarch." The Great Elder clapped his hands and said: "The Zheng family is now going to attack the Langzhou Netherworld Sect, the meaning is very obvious, when the Netherworld Sect is broken, it will be our turn next, and I hope that the patriarch will plan in advance." ”

"What the Great Elder said is extremely true." Kong Aohu fanned his big eyes, and his eyes revealed a sense of perseverance, "The Zheng family will fight if they want to fight, how can the Kong family ever be afraid?" At this point, he immediately looked at Second Elder Kong Qiu, "Second Elder, how is our Kong Family Army training?" ”

"Patriarch Hui." The second elder Kong Qiu stood up, his burly figure exuding a touch of contempt, "Kong Jiajun has been training intensively recently, and they are all in high spirits, vowing to fight with the Zheng family. ”

"Good. The order was passed down, and the whole army was on standby, and when the Zheng family occupied the Langzhou Underworld Sect, it was the time when the battle began. ”

……

The Kong family still underestimated Zheng Hesheng, the imperial commander, but they didn't know that a turmoil in Zhongzhou had already begun.

Zheng Hesheng sat in the court hall of the Tingwei Mansion, and the head was full of officials, large and small, and listened quietly before leaving. Zheng Hesheng said in a deep voice: "The riot of the Kong family has been confirmed, and now it has colluded with the chaotic party sect Wusheng, and it will soon be revealed." I have sent a special message to the king overnight to arrest Kong Rong, the leader of the Confucian family's rebellious party......"

As soon as the words came to this, everyone in the court suddenly let out a long sigh and was surprised-

"Kong Rong is the secretary of the kingdom, how could he instigate the Kong family to riot?"

"yes, could there be some misunderstanding?"

"Kong Rong is an old minister of Pilu, loyal to the kingdom, I don't think he should instigate a riot."

"You are the people who are in charge of the people, Kong Rong advocates changing the law and abolishing slavery, but who is it of great benefit to? Isn't it to buy the hearts of the people and strengthen the power of the Confucian family? Have you ever thought of that? ”

Chang Shi Qiu He heard that everyone was talking, his face changed suddenly, and he defended Zheng Hesheng.

Although everyone was not convinced, knowing that Kong Rong was by no means a rioter, under the pressure of Changshi and Tingwei, they all closed their mouths.

"Since everyone has no objections, Changshi, I order you to take three thousand Kingdom soldiers to Kong's house, arrest Kong Rong, the leader of the rebel party, and wait for trial."

"Yes."

Changshi Qiu He took the order and left.

Waiting for Qiu He to leave, Ting Wei glanced at the people in the hall with an expressionless face, and said softly: "Why don't I feel sorry for Shangqing Kong Rong." Alas. Zheng Hesheng sighed, and said: "You said that Shangqing is already in his old age, why can't he retire in peace, and have to instigate a riot to make his later life unsafe?" ”

Zheng Hesheng's face was sad, and he seemed to really feel sorry for Kong Rong. Regretting it, Zheng Hesheng raised his head, glanced around, and ordered: "You and others have a good relationship with Kong Rong, I advise you not to follow Kong Rong's path and follow in his footsteps." If I hear that any of you dare to discuss this matter in private, you will definitely be dealt with as Kong Rong's fellow party! ”

Hearing this, everyone understood that Zheng Hesheng was giving them a warning, and they knelt in front of the hall one after another, swearing, "Lord Tingwei, please rest assured, we will never discuss this matter again." ”

"Okay, stand down."

Three thousand sergeants marched towards Kong Rong's mansion, and immediately spread out before they arrived at the mansion, surrounding Shangqing's mansion. Seeing the situation, the old man in front of the door shouted at the leader Changshi Qiuhe: "Qiuhe, what are you doing here, don't you know that this is the Shangqing Mansion?" ”

"We were ordered by the court captain to arrest the traitor Kong Rong, who dares to stop us? Quickly dodge away, let Kong Rong come out and be surrendered! ”

When the old family heard this, he was immediately shocked, and immediately trotted into the mansion to tell Kong Rong about it, but who knew that he happened to meet Kong Rong walking slowly halfway.

"Lord Shangqing...... The Tingwei Mansion has sent someone to arrest you! ”

Kong Rong seemed to have expected it, and he didn't panic at all, but laughed with his hands behind his back: "Hahahaha." It's finally time to begin! Kong Rong walked to the door, and said as he walked: "The traitor is in charge, putting the people in fire and water, although the old man has great ambitions, it is difficult to speak alone, since he is unable to save the common people, but he is not afraid of the persecution of the traitors, they will be arrested, what am I afraid of?" ”

When the words fell, the man had arrived at the door. Looking at the three thousand sergeants in front of the door, he couldn't help but be surprised, and said loudly: "I'm an old man, why use the three thousand sergeants of the kingdom to capture it, Zheng Hesheng really looks up to me!" ”

"Kong Rong, you instigated a rebellion, and I was ordered to arrest all my comrades." At this point, Qiu He's big hand waved towards the three thousand sergeants, "All listen to the order, arrest all the people in the Shangqing Mansion, and don't let any of them go." ”

Hearing this, the three thousand sergeants quickly went into action.

Shangqing's Mansion is equipped with 1,000 guards, and there are 1,000 members of Kong Rong's family, who are not afraid of the 3,000 sergeants, and rush out of the gate one after another, wanting to break the net with the 3,000 sergeants. Kong Rong saw the situation and was immediately anxious. If he openly resists the law at this time, he will only sit on the hat of rebellion, and urgently shout: "Stop me, you are going to jump into the fire pit and quickly restrain the horse." ”

Kong Rong scolded, and everyone in Shangqing Mansion was helpless, gritting their teeth and stopping resisting. Three thousand sergeants swarmed up and took down all those in sight.

With such a big movement, the people in the past saw it in their eyes and gathered one after another, with a look of grief and indignation on their faces.

An old woman, hunched over and on crutches, came to the front of the crowd and cried, "Qingtianβ€”why do you want to arrest Master Kong? What crime did he commit? You can't arrest himβ€”"

The old woman's voice immediately caused a chain reaction, and the crowd boiled, and they echoed with righteous indignation:

"Master Kong cares about the people and does practical things for our people, we don't allow you to arrest him!"

"Yes. We don't allow hole-grabbing adults. If you want to catch someone, step over our corpses! ”

The mood of the people was high, and they surrounded the 3,000 sergeants by tens of thousands of people, and the slightest carelessness could lead to a massacre.

Kong Rong knew very well that if the people stopped him any longer, the three thousand soldiers would immediately start killing, and shouted in a trembling voice: "People, your intentions Kong Rong has understood." Lang Lang Qingtian, justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, you must not stop it, get out of the way quickly. Yes. ”

Tears soaked Kong Rong's eyes, looking at tens of thousands of people, his heart turned a hundred times, he can be so loved by the people, it is enough. Even when he died, he didn't complain. It's just that there are still barriers in my heart that have not been eliminated, and there is no successor to the change of the law, and I think that I am afraid that I will not see the day when the people of Li will be the masters of the house.

"Yes, justice is in the hearts of the people, if we don't stop it, the adults will definitely be fine."

"Let the adults pass, don't make trouble for him, we have to be sensible."

The two wise people in the crowd knew that they must not make trouble for Lord Kong Rong at this time, so they loudly persuaded everyone to disperse.

The people slowly retreated, leaving a path, and watched as the three thousand soldiers escorted Kong Rong and the people of Shangqing's Mansion towards the kingdom prison. Kong Rong's back seemed to be a little more rickety in an instant.

……

A trade wind pigeon suddenly floated into the Zheng family's compound, and the guards quickly came to Zheng Wujian with the message and handed it into his hands.

Zheng Wujian opened the note, and there was a look of joy on his face, and he said to Zheng Tianqiao loudly: "Great Elder, you hurry up and send someone to the City Lord's Mansion, Kong Rong has been captured, and with this command, you order the City Lord's Mansion to immediately crusade against the Kong family, and those who resist the order will be killed!" ”
