Chapter 53: Succession
Before Zhao Meng could turn back, the bones on his body rang out. Zhao Meng could clearly feel the breaking of every bone in his body, and ordinary people had already fainted after experiencing such pain. But Zhao Meng was extremely awake from beginning to end, until the last bone of his toe was broken, and he didn't pull down all the pain. The strange thing is that under such extreme pain, he didn't even make a sound.
Seeing Zhao Meng, who was falling to the ground and convulsing, the person standing behind him sneered and said, "Old man, I have changed my mind, you are still so good." has made such a great contribution to the Red Eyebrow Army, and they will take care of your second half of the life. When you're hungry, someone will feed you batter, and when it's cold, someone will cover you with a quilt. It's nice that you don't have to do it yourself, and others will do everything for you......"
As he spoke, he glanced at Liu Xuan, the first emperor who was strangled to death, next to him. After sighing slightly, he said, "Now until the emperor is not so easy to sit on, right?" It's still the chief manager who saw it, and after a few years of being the prince, he said that he wouldn't be the emperor anymore. By the way, what's the name of the manager here? I'm old, I've only been dead for more than a hundred years, and I can't even remember what his name is......"
Seeing that he left the side hall muttering and muttering, Zhao Meng had the idea of wanting to die for the first time. It's a pity that this has become a luxury for him now......
It didn't take long for the news of Emperor Gengshi's death and Zhao Meng's death to reach Fan Chong's ears. At the time, he had just discovered the room of gold. Although Fan Chong can be regarded as a master who has eaten and seen over the years, it is the first time he has seen so much gold.
Fan Chong has a presence by Liu Xuan's side, not to mention that Zhao Meng is also his person. The leader of the Red Eyebrow Army knew who the owner of the gold was, but now Wu Mian and Gui Fei had obviously abandoned this place. Then these gold are ownerless things, and if they are used as military salaries, the morale of the Red Eyebrow Army will definitely be greatly boosted. When the time comes, why can't you kill Liu Xiu in Hebei in one go?
Just when Fan Chong ordered the people to move these gold ingots to his camp, a small school suddenly came to tell the news that Liu Xuan, the first emperor, had died violently. After Fan Chong heard it, he laughed and said: "If you die, you will die, although you are not the emperor anymore, for the sake of the rebellious thief Wang Mang in the past, he is still buried according to the emperor's specifications." Let Zhao Meng come over, I'm going to talk to him about the King of Changsha. β
After hesitating for a moment, the little colonel who reported the news continued: "Lord Zhao Meng can't come, he is lying next to Liu Xuan's body, unable to move. A military doctor took a rough look and said that the bones of Lord Zhao Meng's body had been crushed, but the strange thing was that Lord Zhao Meng's pulse was extremely strong, and there was no illness at all......
The bones in his body were broken, and there was no sign of illness in his pulse. After listening to Xiao Xiaoxiao's words, Fan Chong's cold sweat instantly broke out. At that moment, he hurriedly returned the gold ingot in his hand to the pile of gold ingots, feeling that something was wrong, Fan Chong personally picked up the gold ingot, and stacked it neatly.
After seeing that these gold nuggets were stacked neatly, Fan Chong called back all the sergeants who had already gone out of the gate. They put all the gold ingots in order, and then put hemp paper seals on the storehouse. Later, he sent troops to guard here, and specially instructed that once a person with white hair entered the storehouse, he should not be hindered when he went......
At the same time, it was still Yan Zheng's original private house, Wu Mian and Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan, three white-haired men, were sitting in the room. Sun Xiaochuan was a little restless and glanced at the direction of the palace from time to time, while Wu Mian and Liu Xi seemed to be fine, one was looking at the bamboo slips that he didn't know what was written. The other was playing with the brush on the table, watching the tip of the pen dip in the basin of water.
Just when Sun Xiaochuan was restless, the old guy suddenly appeared in the house. Then, after Liu Xi smiled at the old guy, he put the brush back on the pen holder. And Wu Mian just glanced at the old guy, and then shifted his gaze to the book in his hand.
"Old fairy, your old man is finally back." After seeing the appearance of returning, the happiest one was Sun Xiaochuan. He respectfully placed a cushion beside him at the old guy's feet, and after watching the old guy sit down, he said with a smile: "How is it?" Has all the gold in the palace been hidden? When we were in Luoyang, we said that no matter what the benefits were, it would be divided into three parts. Two copies for your old man, one for me and our Royal Highness. This is already on the side, you won't regret taking it all, right? β
"Don't worry, a tael of gold won't be missing you." After smiling at Sun Xiaochuan, he continued: "But old man, I went around Chang'an City, and I didn't find any place suitable for hiding so much gold. Turning around, I just hid the gold in the palace......"
"Still hiding in the palace?" After Sun Xiaochuan heard this, he stood up directly, and said to the returnee: "You might as well say that you directly cheapened the Red Eyebrow Army, ancestor, who doesn't blush when you see so much gold?" Finished...... After more than a year of hard work, you directly cheapen others. Who do you say I'm happy for, and who am I busy for......"
"Compared to fate, gold is not so important." After a bitter smile from Sun Xiaochuan, he continued: "Now even if you lend Fan Chong another guts, he won't dare to touch a penny of that gold. β
"Liu Xuanβis he deceased?" After finishing speaking, Liu Xi opened his mouth and continued: "What I asked may be redundant, is it Zhao Meng's hand?" Mr. No Return should have taken care of Liu Xuan's funeral, right? β
"It is worthy of being the king of Huainan back then" After laughing, he continued: "Zhao Meng's women are indeed the meticulous work of the Red Eyebrow Army, but Zhao Meng also got retribution. The older he lived, the more sin he suffered. β
"Thank you, Mr. No Return." After Liu Xi smiled bitterly, he said, "Liu Xuan is good, Liu Xiu is good." Even Liu Penzi, the Red Eyebrow Military Guard, is the bloodline passed down by Emperor Gaozu. Unexpectedly, after the collapse of Wang Mang's new dynasty, it was the flesh and blood of the Han family that fought first......"
Liu Xi's expression was a little gloomy, as if he had something to say. But when the words came to his lips, he shook his head again, and swallowed these words back.
"Old fellow, in this case, your Holy Cultivator King is the end of it. Lao Tzu's crown prince is out of play, isn't he? At this time, the door of the room was opened, and Bai Wuqiu, who was guarding the door, heard the conversation of several people, and couldn't help but come in and said: "Old fellow, you are too addicted to the princes and kings, what about Lao Tzu?" The crown prince of Lao Tzu is a little bit away from your holy cultivation king. One day you kick your legs, Lao Tzu will be the Holy Cultivator King......"
"The emperor is gone, what's the use of his holy cultivation king?" After glancing at his cheap son helplessly, he continued: "If you like to be the prince king so much, I will make you a no-ask king, Your Highness, have you and Ren San's things been packed up?" β
"Lao Tzu, if there is anything, it is all your third brother's." Bai Wuqiu kicked his eyes and said, "Actually, Lao Tzu looks at that Liu Xuan is not bad." can make a decree so that Lao Tzu does not need to be polite. Where can such a sensible emperor go to find? β
"It's just that he's too sensible to be the emperor." Without waiting for the return to speak, Liu Xi smiled and replied to the words. After a pause, he continued: "Liu Xuan only has the luck to win the world, but he does not have the virtue to rule the world. At best, he is the king of a lifetime, and he has been in power for a long time, and it is not a blessing for the people of the world. β
"It doesn't matter if it's a blessing or a curse, the first emperor has passed." After laughing for a while, Gui Wugui continued: "Now it's up to the people in the back, we've been acting as a pawn for Guangren for a long time, let's let this generous master have a headache in the back." Emperor Liu Penzi...... Liu Xiu......"
