-- Farewell to you, more than two years, Yu heart very much. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

-- Hearing that Xiu went to Ningnan, Yu was worried day and night. Later, when Wenxiu Yu Ningnan died, Yu was grief-stricken, drinking like a needle, eating like a knife, and unable to sleep at night. Thinking back then, in the palace of the king of Shangjing, drinking and talking, talking at night with candles, every time I think about this, I can't help but burst into tears.

In Tang Yu's letter, there was no mention of a sentence that made Shangguan Xiu choose to support him, only said that he missed him, and infinitely missed the meeting and acquaintance between the two when they were in Shangjing.

Looking at this letter, Shangguan Xiu drank the wine in the cup again, and then he lowered his head, and the drops of water fell on the letter paper dripping. Seeing this, Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei swallowed their saliva in unison, no one dared to speak, and sat quietly at the table.

I don't know how long it took, Shangguan Xiu carefully refolded the letter in his hand, put it back in the envelope, and then carried it back into his arms very preciously. When he looked up again, there was no trace of tears on his face.

Xiao Jue sniffed and whispered: "King Yu's palace is kind-hearted, if you can ascend to the throne, you will be the immortal monarch, it is really my blessing of the wind!"

Shangguan Xiu nodded with a smile, picked up the wine glass, and said, "Let's have a drink!" As he spoke, he toasted again.

Xiao Jue was about to speak, but a drinker at the adjacent table turned his head, glanced at Xiao Jue dissatisfiedly, and said indignantly: "My Gale Emperor hasn't died yet, why did Tang Yu ascend to the throne?"

It is the greatest support for us, thank you!

"That's it! You all say that the emperor is not good here and there, but we don't see what is bad. ”

"Alas, no matter who is the emperor, it has nothing to do with our Zhenjun, anyway, our Zhenjun is a place where the court doesn't care. ”

"Yes, yes, drink and drink! Who becomes the emperor has nothing to do with us, and it is not our turn to worry. ”

A few drinkers at the next table continued to drink. However, their discussion soon brought the tavern guests to the topic.

One of the drinkers shouted: "If King Yu ascends the throne, I am afraid that we ordinary people will not have a good life." ”

"Why?"

"Think about it, after King Yu ascended the throne, those rebels have all changed their faces and become the Central Army, what kind of people are the rebels, the most impoverished outlaws, they have become the Central Army, can they not fish our people?"

"That has nothing to do with the people of our Zhen County, we have an army of 400,000 in Zhen County, and Lord Shangguan is in charge, if the rebels dare to come to our Zhen County to spread wildness, they will kill him as much as they come!"

"It is said that Lord Shangguan is King Yu's confidant, King Yu ascends the throne, Lord Shangguan will definitely bring the Zhenjun army to assist King Yu, when the time comes, who will protect us?"

As soon as they heard this, the drinkers present were all deflated, and one by one they sighed, drooped their heads, shook their heads and drank sullen wine. Xiao Jue couldn't help it anymore, slapped the table suddenly, and shouted: "It's just nonsense!"

Hearing his shouting, the eyes of everyone present fell on him in unison. Xiao Jue said in a deep voice: "Don't say that the rebels will not prey on the people after becoming the central army, even if they really do this, King Yu will be severely punished, and Lord Shangguan will never sit idly by and let Zhenjun be bullied." If you dare to talk nonsense again, and lie to confuse the public......"

Before he finished speaking, Shangguan Xiu pulled his sleeve without leaving a trace, signaling him to stop talking.

Xiao Jue stopped talking, glared at everyone present again, and then looked at Shangguan Xiu in puzzlement. The latter said in a low voice: "The mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan." Whatever you want to say, let everyone say it. ”

Xiao Jue scratched his hair and said no more.

At this time, a drinker rubbed his hazy drunken eyes vigorously, looked at Shangguan Xiu carefully, and looked at him for a while, his body shook, he stood up tremblingly, and asked cautiously, "You...... Are you Lord Shangguan?"

Hearing this, people looked at Shangguanxiu together. None of them have seen Shangguan Xiu himself, but they have also heard rumors about the description of Shangguan Xiu's appearance, the crane hair is childish, and the young man sitting in front of him is handsome and handsome, with profound facial features, a pair of eagle eyes are blazing, between the circulation, there is a cold light shooting, the most eye-catching is the two strands of silver hair hanging from the temples, isn't this the appearance of the crane hair and childish face?

Shangguan Xiu glanced at the strong man who asked him, and said with a smile: "I'm Shangguan Xiu." ”

His words made all the drinkers present shocked, and people were shocked, and they all knelt on the ground and stammered: "Villain...... The villain meets the adult!"

Shangguan Xiu consciously stood up, walked up to the nearest drinker, pulled him up from the ground, and then waved his hand to the people around him and said, "Everyone, please get up quickly." ”

"My lord, I waited just now...... Our words are offensive to Your Majesty and King Yu, and I ask your Excellency to forgive you......"

"Hurry up, everyone, I don't blame you, on the contrary, I would love to hear what you have to say. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and then slowly stood up tentatively, seeing that Shangguan Xiule really didn't blame them, people's hearts were on the ground. "My lord, do you really want to hear what we have to say?"

"Of course. Zhenjun Army is raised by the fathers and villagers of Zhenjun, for Xiu, you are all Xiu's food and clothing parents, everyone's opinion, for me, is very important. ”

Shangguan Xiu is not a person with too strong a sense of hierarchy, after experiencing the illusion, his concept of hierarchy is even weaker, and he is more identified with equality between people.

I had never seen such an approachable official, and everyone was a little unable to react. After a long time, a drinker leaned on the gall of wine and said, "Adult, villain...... The villain feels that orthodoxy should be revered. ”

"Hmm. Shangguan Xiu nodded and did not say anything.

Another person answered: "That's right! The rules set by the ancestors cannot be abolished just as they are abolished. Besides, the current emperor is a goddess of heaven, a lady of heaven, who was chosen by heaven, and to abolish the goddess of heaven is to go against the will of heaven!"

"During the reign of the Heavenly Maiden, no matter how chaotic the Wind Country was, the imperial court still allocated food to Zhenjun, and did not let the people of Zhenjun starve, and the villain felt that the Heavenly Maiden was a good emperor. ”

"But the imperial court did not allocate a grain of grain to the Zhenjun army, if it weren't for the adult's promising, raising food for the Zhenjun army everywhere, and letting the 400,000 Zhenjun army and the people grab food together, Zhenjun doesn't know how many people would starve to death, so we have to thank the adult, not the court. ”

"Anyway, I think the Heavenly Maiden didn't give up Zhenjun, she is a good emperor. ”

Hearing the wave after wave of discussion in the tavern, the passers-by outside were attracted one after another, and learned that Shangguanxiu was here to listen to the public opinion, and the passers-by also joined the discussion.

Soon, not only was the tavern full of people, but even the crowd outside the tavern was three floors inside and three layers outside, almost blocking the entire street.

The people said everything, but the majority of them expressed their support for orthodoxy.

Zhenjun is a place with poor soil and a lack of the most important strategic resource at that time - grain, so it has become a place where grandma does not love uncle and uncle, and the imperial court has not managed Zhenjun too carefully, but it has never abandoned Zhenjun.

It is in such an environment that the people of Zhenjun have become the most respectful and orthodox group of people.

It was not until the evening that Shangguan Xiu returned to the county governor's mansion, and ordered the military that night, the day after tomorrow, the four legions of the Zhenjun army set off together and marched to Beijing.

All the legions received orders from Shangguanxiu, but the minds of the officers and men of each legion were confused, and they did not know whether they would help the rebels fight the Central Army or help the Central Army fight the rebels after they marched to Shangjing.

At present, outside the capital city, it is surrounded by a million rebels from the Sixteenth Road.

The rebels are a million people, but the central army in the city is also as many as 400,000, and the rebels have an absolute advantage in strength, but in terms of individual combat power, the rebels can't of course be a well-trained opponent of the central army, and the central army is on the defensive, relying on the incomparably strong city defense of Shangjing, and it is not easy for the rebels to storm Shangjing.

It's just that a million rebels besieged Shangjing, and the pressure on Shangjing was too great, and this has never happened since the founding of the Wind Country. In the capital, people are panicked, and there is chaos inside and outside the government.

The current pressure is naturally Tang Ling, there is only one target for the millions of rebels outside the city, that is, her, and now Tang Ling has become the target of everyone, and thousands of people are pointing at her.

The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study.

"Your Majesty hasn't eaten for a day, so your Majesty should drink some ginseng soup!" a female official in the palace walked into the imperial study with a tray in her hand, and said softly.

"Get out!" Tang Ling grabbed a scroll on the table casually, and waved it outward, and the scroll swept over the female official's head and flew out of the door. The female officer shrank her neck in fright, held the tray, and walked backwards out of the imperial study.

She had just gone out with her front feet when there was another sound of footsteps at the door. Tang Ling said in a deep voice: "I have already said it, I don't drink!"

"Your Majesty should also take care of the dragon's body. As he spoke, a handsome young man walked in from outside, this was Tang Ling's confidant, Han Ye.

Seeing that it was him, Tang Ling slowly put the book he had just grabbed back on the table. "Ye, did you bring me bad news this time? Say, my current situation is so bad that it can't be worse, and there is no bad news that can scare me anymore. ”

Her words made Han Ye's heart sour, and looking at Tang Ling, who was sitting behind the Dragon Book case, he also felt distressed in his heart. He walked to the case of the dragon book, bowed his hand, and said, "Weichen see Your Majesty." ”

After a pause, he raised his gaze, secretly glanced at Tang Ling, and said: "Weichen just received the report that Shangguan Xiu has personally commanded 400,000 Zhenjun troops, set off from Xijing, and is rushing to Beijing. ”

Shangguan Xiu, 400,000 Zhenjun troops! He finally made a move. Tang Ling's expression didn't change much, and she couldn't tell whether she was happy or sad, she asked slowly, "Ye, do you think Shangguan Xiu is here to save me, or is he here to take my head?"

"This ...... Wechen didn't know. "If Tang Yu hadn't been involved in this matter, Shangguan Xiu would have led the army to come, and he would have come to relieve the danger of being trapped in Shangjing, but this time the Sixteenth Route rebels surrounded Shangjing, which was initiated by Tang Yu, so no one dared to infer the purpose of Shangguan Xiu leading all the Zhenjun troops to Shangjing.

"You don't know, in fact, you already know very well in your heart that he is here to kill me!"

Tang Ling smiled, raised his head, sighed faintly, and muttered: "After all, I still lost to Brother Yu, and Brother Yu is still more popular than me after all." Am I really a bad emperor? This battle with Ningnan, shouldn't I really be fighting?"
