The autumn rain in the south of the Yangtze River is always so lingering, and the continuous drizzle in late autumn is even more chilling to the bones.

This night, the autumn rain enveloped another town.

This town is located in the south of the Yangtze River, I don't know how many wars and massacres have been spared, and survived like a pearl in the turbulent times of the change of dynasty decades ago.

Although it was only night, the drizzling autumn rain had caused the whole town to fall asleep early, and only one tavern was still lit up.

Although this tavern is not big, it also hired a storyteller, and the boss saw the weather, so he kept the storyteller to stay for the time being. The gentleman felt that he couldn't go, and this point was still telling the story.

"Boss, warm six bowls of wine, and three servings of sauced beef. A tired voice came from outside the tavern curtain, followed by the sound of broken horses' hooves.

As soon as the words ended, three people covered in rain and dressed in the clothes of a dart master lifted the curtain and walked in.

"Okay, I'll help you put the horses in the stable. Although Xiao Er was not very energetic, he still forced a smile.

Then, after setting up the horses of several customers, we went to prepare the sake and food.

Although most of the people in the town were asleep, there were still seven or eight idlers from the town who were drinking with their fists, and a disdainful scholar in the corner was drinking to himself.

"I just talked about the matter of Gaozong Yeyin of our Daluo Dynasty. After the death of Taizong Ye Sheng, he was still the second prince at the time, and forced the prince Ye Bang of the palace, and with the help of the third brother Ye Qing, who was the first king of Wu, he killed Ye Bang. "There are not many storytellers, so they are bold and talk about the things of the present day.

After taking a sip of wine, he said: "Our King Wu has gained the glory of hereditary replacement because of this unique merit from the dragon. This glory is not trivial, today there are only four hereditary vassal kings, namely the king of Shu Chen and King Wu who was crowned during the Gaozong period, and the king of Qi who was divided into the fief last year during the eleventh year of Taiwei. ”

"Storyteller, is it interesting for you to just talk about these generalizations, talk about it specifically. An idler seemed to have had enough of the storyteller's clichés and shouted loudly.

"Okay, let's talk about some dry stuff. The storyteller was not annoyed, and continued, "Let's talk about the first Shu King Ye Mao, who has the most suspense in his death. This Shu State borders the Western Regions of Tibet, and fights wars every year. During the reign of Gaozong, the first king of Shu died in battle, and most of the people of the time praised the courage and fierceness of the king of Shu. But some people also questioned whether there was anything wrong with the death of the main general in a battle recorded in the ancient art of war. ”

"I know, I know. When an idler heard this, he interrupted the storyteller, and said happily, "Some people say that this King of Shu died in battle, that is, he died on a woman's belly!"

"Ahem, don't mention the way the King of Shu died in battle, although he is greasy, he has also been rewarded by Da Luo. And it is also a single line, and now Ye Jun, the grandson of the first King of Shu, is on the throne. The storyteller saw that everyone was attracted to him and hurriedly said.

After that, as soon as he patted the wood and saw that everyone's attention was focused on himself, the storyteller continued: "Next is the first Chen Wang Ye who has made outstanding military achievements, and the hereditary replacement of this vassal king is in exchange for real military exploits!"

A dart master finished eating the meat, took a sip of wine, and saw that he had found a place he was familiar with.

In addition, the storyteller was already a little physically exhausted, so he interrupted the storyteller and said, "I know this, I'll tell you, you rest first." ”

"Okay, let's take a few sips of wine to moisten my throat. Seeing that this man took care of himself so much, the storyteller did not refuse, and smiled.

"This King Chen is really ruthless. We all said that he must have been the reincarnation of Wu Anjun Baiqi, who killed 400,000 enemy troops in ancient times. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, the dart master said excitedly, "He never surrendered to Zhao'an or surrender, and he likes to slaughter cities and light sky lanterns." It is also because of this that most of the people in the court think that he is not a benevolent lord. Da Luo has also been hesitant to give this hereditary replacement. ”

"Then how did you get the hereditary replacement?" a splashy man hurriedly asked when he saw that what the dart master said was more bloody than the storyteller, and it was appetizing.

"Don't worry, don't worry. This is going to be the most interesting thing in this dynasty. The dart master replied with a smile, "At that time, King Chen was also in a hurry, and the barbarians in southern Xinjiang were all scared, and they basically couldn't make any big achievements." There is no more chance to make meritorious service, and if he dies, won't this hereditary reckless replacement slip away?"

Speaking of which, he slowly drained his wine.

When those idlers saw this, they knew that this dart master was no good and didn't open their mouths, so they shouted: "Xiao Er, serve another bowl of wine to our dart master!"

"Okay. Xiao Er also listened energetically, and hurriedly responded.

The dart walker was also happy to see a few people so knowledgeable, and said: "At that time, there happened to be a rebellion of King Ning, who had always been dissatisfied with Emperor Gaozong, and carefully prepared for more than ten years before deciding to rebel. Who knows, before even the banner of the rebels left the vassal country, it was destroyed by King Chen, who came from several provinces to grab merit after learning the information. After preparing for more than ten years, he didn't even last three months before he was accepted by King Chen as a military exploit, you say it's ridiculous. This rebellion of King Ning has become the funniest thing in today's dynasty, and King Chen has also been hereditary because of the rebellion. ”

"Ahem, this dart master, I'll do it next. The storyteller regained his strength and said respectfully to the dart.

"Okay, okay, anyway, I earned a bowl of wine. Let's talk about the next. The dart master laughed.

"This King Chen was hereditarily replaced, and soon died of brain disease, but some people say that he was punished by God. I won't mention these strange things for the time being. The storyteller paused at this point and continued, "His concubine Ye Lu, who received the support of the military after his death, imprisoned several of his brothers with an iron fist, ascended to the throne of King Chen, and was acquiesced by Da Luo, and then the throne has been sitting until today. ”

"Tut-tut, it's really a dragon giving birth to a dragon and a phoenix, this Ye Luo and his Lao Tzu are both mortal. An idler sighed.

"Next, it will be Xue Lingzhi, the king of Qi who was crowned king last year. After the storyteller finished talking about King Chen, he began to talk about this King of Qi.

"Sir, I'll do this. Said the scholar who had been sitting in the corner drinking alone.

"Hey, okay, come on. The storyteller knew the man's secret and sighed.

"This Xue Manzi is the most warlike. Taiwei attacked Russia in the tenth year, that is, the year before last, and everywhere he went, it was like a bamboo. However, the rear suffered. "This scholar is Xue Manzi at the exit, regardless of the identity of the King of Qi, "In the rear, there are no strong men in every family, and everyone is hungry." He put the men of every household into the army, and only the women and children were left in the fields. Xue Manzi annexed two Russian provinces, and the Russian army bowed down and sent the princess as a proton. Only then did he get the hereditary position of King Qi. I admit he's a hero, but he's a great success. ”

As he spoke, the scholar slowly shed tears in two lines, closed his eyes and read hoarsely: "Xing, the people suffer; In this prosperous world, what do you want to do?

After that, he raised his head and drank the wine in the bowl, ignored the autumn rain outside the door, and went straight out laughing.

"He Xiucai, He Xiucai, I'll send you back. Seeing that the scholar was a little drunk, and was afraid that something would happen to him when he was walking at night, the little second child hurriedly picked up his umbrella and rushed out as he spoke.

"What's going on with this scholar?" said the dart master who was talking about King Chen with great interest just now.

The idlers all shook their heads and sighed.

"Hey, he was originally from Liaodong and the only son in the family. King Qi conscripted, he escaped, but the old mother who depended on him was arrested to cook and died on the battlefield soon after. Unable to take revenge, and unwilling to see things and think about things, he went away and came to us. The storyteller sighed.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the tavern was a little solemn.

"That's it, that's it. After talking about King Qi, let's talk about our King Wu!" The storyteller saw that everyone was in a low mood, and hurriedly said for the atmosphere of the event, "Our King Wu is also a single line, and now he is the third. Today's King Wu is really a generation of Ming Jun. When we talk about vassal kings in the past, we must talk about the size of power, and today is no exception. The power of the three kings of Shu, Chen, and Qi is all limited by Da Luo, and every small county order must be reported, but our King Wu has great power because of his work from the dragon. Even Tang Pu, the prime minister above 10,000 people under that person, was personally invited by him from the mountains. ”

"Haha, when it comes to Wu Xiang Tang Pu, I'll have something to say. Storyteller, guess what kind of dart we are betting on this trip?" Several dart masters laughed when they heard that Wu Xiang was active.

"How do I know this?" said the storyteller helplessly.

"Hey, a month ago, Wu Xiang Tang Pu Lao came to have a son. What we bet on today is the congratulatory gift from Yangzhou Thorn Shi to Xiao Xiangye for the full moon. I heard that Xiao Xiangye has been named Tang Mo by King Wu!" explained the dart master excitedly.

"Ah, it's a good thing that Wu Xiangdezi is a son. Tang Mo, what a good name!" The storyteller said with a smile, "Then, our Wu Xiang can deal with the Japanese with all his heart." ”

"Haha, that's a good thing. These wolves have been wreaking havoc in the vicinity of my hometown recently, and it's time to take care of them. King Wu and Wu Xiang will strike together, and they will make these widows have their lives and no lives!" the dart master replied loudly.

"Come on, come on, let's drink this cup for our Wu Xiangman!"

"Get drunk and rest!" Several idlers were also happy that the beloved Wu Xianglao had a son, and shouted together.

"Okay, good, don't get drunk, don't go home!" the three dart masters shouted in unison, regardless of the rules and regulations.

In the tavern, everyone celebrates this peaceful and prosperous era.

Outside the tavern, He Xiucai, who was already drunk, was carried by the shopkeeper and muttered: "In the prosperous world, the beacon fire has burned the mountains and rivers, what do you want it to do?"

In this prosperous world, one person sees the flowers, but the other sees the rivers stained with blood.

Pathetic, lamentable.
