"Who is your father and sister-in-law" Although Lord Shangguan was very sad and angry, he still heard Liu Chang's words clearly, it turned out that Liu Chang's relatives were also killed in this clearance, no wonder he was so ruthless and ruthless, the county order firmly believed that if the reason was found, a solution would be found.

"Lord County Commander, you are not authentic, you killed my father and sister-in-law, and now tell me that you don't know who is my father and who is my sister-in-law. As for me, I look like a child now, and I am a child in fact, but you can't treat me like a child. They are neither members of the beggar gang, nor are they once important criminals of the imperial court, didn't the emperor euphemistically say that he would not pursue them? My father also gave up the idea of becoming a prince and decided to live in the mountains and forests for the rest of his life, why don't you forgive? ”

"Are you really ......" Shangguan County Order's eyes showed a puzzled look, this child is the descendant of the former prince?

Of course, he didn't know that the former prince was still alive, but his eyes found that this seemed to be a stronghold of the beggar gang, so he sent troops to search for it. I don't know why, the northern army killed all the people and razed this place to the ground. Afterwards, I learned that someone in the Northern Army recognized him as a suspect of the former prince, and in line with the principle of preferring to kill the wrong person and not letting go, he slaughtered everyone here, and the crime was to resist arrest.

For this matter, he asked General Liu several times for verification, but General Liu was very strict-mouthed, and he insisted that he was resisting arrest. Now, getting confirmation from this child's mouth really surprised him.

"Yes, yes, that's what you think. You see, how good it is for us to communicate like this, we can't say it thoroughly, and we can't explain it clearly. Originally, I had persuaded my father to let him be a common man happily in his life, far away from the rights and wrongs of the court, to be honest, my father is not the emperor's material, and he can't sit on the throne. This is still accurate in the eyes of the current emperor. All I want is for a man to speak when you condemn him, even when he is going to kill him.

My father deserves to die for his true crimes, and he should be punished in a dignified manner, and my father and sister-in-law should die in the execution ground or the Zongren Hall even if they die. You're right? Go ahead, report my request to your emperor, and I will take back what I owe. ”

The emperor sat in the golden palace majestically, and Chang'an Ling in front of the palace leaned down and fell to the ground. After Chang'an Ling returned, he went directly to the temple to face the saint, and made a detailed statement to the emperor and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces about the cause and effect of the incident.

"Is it really that obstacle? That's what the evil obstacle really said!? "The old emperor has been tossed enough in the past two days, plus he is old and a little exhausted, but when it comes to the safety of the court, he has to fight his spirits, but when he hears that this mysterious person may be his grandson, he can't help but be angry.

If you want to be close to yourself, when you are your grandson, shouldn't you kneel in front of yourself, crying and begging for your forgiveness? Is this beating and killing, praying? Prestige?

"Back to Your Majesty, in terms of age and appearance, there is a big gap between him and the prince. But as far as words are concerned, there is no doubt that he is the son of the world. He also admitted himself that he was the son of the crown prince, a minister, which could not be confirmed. But what the minister may confirm is that this son is by no means an extraordinary person. Shangguan still told the truth, it wasn't that he was shirking, it was really beyond his cognition.

"Your Majesty, this is the world... Liu Chang proposed that as long as he loses, he will leave our dynasty, and if he can't be satisfied, he, he will... In person... Begging at the palace gate. Here is a list of his reparations. Chang'an Ling held up a piece of silk cloth, and originally wanted to say the word Shizi, but when the words came to his mouth, he changed it to Liu Chang. The county magistrate weighed it in his heart for a long time, and finally didn't dare to tell the truth what Liu Chang said about Prince Liu Ju. Once he said it, he was sure that it would cause a storm in the court. Because, the prince is not the only one who was implicated in witchcraft and died, and not only the prince is in the lineage, everyone demands to be open, just, and fair like Liu Chang, and the absolute authority of the emperor will inevitably be challenged, which will shake the country's foundation, and the Han Dynasty will collapse.

As soon as the words of Shangguan County Decree fell, the hall was immediately silent, even if he was still whispering, his jaw dropped in shock, all the ministers have gone through strong winds and waves to get today's status and identity, and they have seen wind and rain. It's not that the madbacks haven't seen it, but I don't know how many they've seen, but I've never seen such a madback. Dare to confront the emperor, not to mention, but also to make a list with the emperor, except for that Mao Dun, the overlord of the grassland, who else?! No!! Mao Dun relied on tens of thousands of iron horsemen on the grassland, what did this Liu Chang rely on? Two fists? Even if these two fists were all made of iron, they would be able to hit a few nails.

Because Liu Chang's identity is mysterious, especially because he thinks he is the emperor's grandson, the ministers did not dare to comment on it, so they could only watch quietly.

"I'm at the palace gate, waiting for him to come and ask for it. Hum! The emperor did not signal the eunuch to present the donation letter, but got up and left angrily.

For three days, things seemed to have calmed down for three days, and neither the ministers nor the old emperor himself forgot about it, and no one took the initiative to mention it. It's just that the martial law order has not been lifted, and the entire Chang'an City is still under martial law.

In the past two years, martial law has been imposed from time to time, and at the beginning, they were still nervous and uneasy, but now they are used to it.

But this time the grapevine is not the story of the villain, but the story of the villain itself.

"Do you know, yesterday, at the gate of the Yamen in Chang'an County, a gold-armored giant appeared, his whole body was shining with golden light, eight feet tall, and he was holding a big golden hammer in his hand. As long as the citizens of Chang'an meet, whether they know each other or not, they will take the initiative to talk about this topic, especially those who are not at the scene.

And the person who brought up the topic, seeing so many listeners, listening carefully to their own vernacular, and hearing the exclamations of 'wow' around them, their self-esteem was greatly satisfied, and they were even more refreshed and foaming at the mouth.

"What a golden-armored giant, a boy with a drooping hair, carrying a basket of flowers, carrying colorful clouds, descended from the sky. I also begged for a bowl of water to drink with the county order, maybe I didn't like the water was not delicious, and with a wave of my hand, a golden light punched a hole in the main hall of the yamen. Think about it, the water of our mortal world can catch up with the elixir of the gods? The taste of the gods is tricky. "Various versions of the legend naturally collide in small groups. And this kind of collision tickled the audience's careful liver, and strengthened the determination to explore the truth.

"Doesn't the emperor always want to become an immortal? Yesterday, as soon as I heard that the fairy was coming, I immediately sent the northern army to arrest it, do you know, the fairy was angry, and when he stomped his feet, he trampled the entire northern army to death, leaving no one alive. My child, his uncle, saw a big foot fall from the sky. ”

"What shoes do you have to wear with such big feet?"

"What do you know, immortals are not bad for money!"

"I'll tell you a piece of news, it's okay, what's the matter, I don't tell ordinary people, and I'm not allowed to spread it."

"Okay, okay, you say it, we promise not to tell anyone."

"I heard that that person is still coming, and he is going to the palace to ask for food."

"When you go to the palace to ask for food, the gods are so poor that you want food? I have heard of poor ghosts, but I have not heard of poor gods. ”

"What do you say, do you think that the gods want to eat just for food, he is not here to ask for food, he is here to ask for Jindan, I heard that the emperor stole the golden pill of Taishang Laojun, that boy is Taishang Laojun's alchemy boy, Lao Jun said, he doesn't get the golden pill back, he won't let him alchemy, let him wash the night incense barrel, you think, what can this do, the prodigy was in a hurry, so he killed the northern army, and he personally asked the emperor in two days, wait, there is a lively look."

"Oh, so that's the case, I said, how could the gods come to Chang'an without anything, it turned out to be Dan, I thought it was to ask for food."

……

Three days later, the much-anticipated prodigy did not appear. While some were disappointed by the legend, and some were disappointed, there was an atmosphere of unprecedented tension in the palace: the treasury, the inner treasury, and the Chang'an city treasury were emptied, all the sweaty horses in the imperial horse prison had their heads cut off, and only three poor Bima Wen (female monkeys, whose menstrual blood is said to prevent horse plague) squatted on the pillars of the stable, staring at the headless horse corpses all over the ground with frightened eyes.

When the emperor put to death all the officials and chamberlains who guarded the treasury, as well as the eunuchs in charge of the imperial horse guard, he could only silently look at the two sets of numbers on a piece of bamboo slip placed on the imperial table: 64,000 gold and 358 horses

The 64,000 gold is the national poll tax and summer grain tax that have just been put into the treasury, and a lot of expenses are waiting for this money, including the officials' salaries. And these three hundred and fifty-eight are exactly three hundred and fifty-eight sweat and blood horses, and the emperor has worked hard to conquer the BMW accumulated for decades, accounting for almost thirty percent of all the sweat and blood horses in the Han Dynasty.

"Do you know where this obstacle is now?" Although the old emperor's eyes were bloodshot, his tone was no longer thunderous, because he really didn't have the strength to jump violently, and he felt that he was ten years older all of a sudden.

"Back to Your Majesty, Liu Chang once asked Weichen where the prince was buried, and the minister boldly speculated that he should be in the western suburbs of the mass grave." Lord Shangguan replied

"Where is the Captain...

"The minister is here," Master Sima replied.

"Quickly arrest this rebel and bring him to justice, and clearly prove the punishment"

"No"

"General Sima, slow down" General Guangluxun Li exited to stop General Sima, the guard commander who was about to leave the palace: "Excuse me, General Sima, how do you catch this thief." Listening to Chang'an's order, this son seems to have witchcraft, how can the general crack it? ”

"Please ask General Li to teach me this."

"Your Majesty has many strange people around him, why doesn't General Sima ask them to help one or two?"

"Thank you, General Lee"

Before General Sima could open his mouth, the emperor heard their conversation and immediately agreed.

When General Sima led hundreds of cavalry and more than a dozen so-called strange people to the place where the prince was buried, Liu Chang still stood in front of the tomb and did not leave. The mass grave was full of mass graves, there were no tombstones, he couldn't help that his father was buried in the grave, he had been standing quietly in front of the grave all night, and he had not moved half a step. He used his own way to keep filial piety for his father. Although grandmother Wei Zifu was also hastily buried, after all, she still had her own mausoleum, and her father didn't even know which soil bag he was buried in.

When these soldiers surrounded him, the small figure like a stone sculpture still didn't move, but a voice came out slowly: "Lord Shangguan, go back." ”

Shangguan County ordered to get off the horse, just stood quietly in place, bowed and saluted, and did not say anything. He had nothing to say, the emperor's order was hard to disobey, and he had to come.

"General, go back too. A few jars of dog blood can't become your dependence, and it's really hard for you, where can you get so many dogs. Since the man is dead, don't bother him and go. ”

When more than a dozen cans of dog blood were poured from the head, Liu Chang didn't move. Let the black dog blood flow down from the head, the whole body was stained with black and red dog blood, and the air was immediately filled with the smell of dog blood. Then, the feather arrows in the sky, the sword shadows in the sky, the figure still didn't move.

With such a vision, the soldiers no longer had the courage to launch a second attack. Many of the soldiers had fallen from their horses, laid down their weapons, and fell to their knees shivering, and even the general's orders to attack were not obeyed.

"Lord Shangguan, I know you alone, thank you, and persuade this reckless general to go back." As soon as he was halfway through his words, he seemed to remember something, so he changed his words and said:

"Ah, no, you can't all leave, you have to leave a few people behind, you make me dirty, you have to get me some water to wash, they all attract flies. I want to keep seven days of filial piety for my father here, and I don't want to break my promise because of the interference of outsiders. ”

Chang'an Ling hurriedly signaled, and when more than a dozen soldiers trembled and brought the water over with their helmets, Liu Chang had already stripped naked, and let Lord Shangguan rinse his body with water from top to bottom.

"You guys, get your clothes dirty, hurry up and wash me, if I get the wind evil invasion, I'm not done with you, knock out all of your front teeth, and let your evil wind invade." Looking at those strange people with colorless faces, Liu Chang was angry: "Hurry up, numb"

"You! Who are you a demon who dares to defy General Ben? General Sima also slowly regained his composure, seeing that Liu Chang didn't pay attention to himself at all, he didn't even raise his eyelids, although he couldn't use force in front of his subordinates, his momentum couldn't fall, and he couldn't lose his personality, so he pointed at the smooth Liu Chang with a horsewhip and shouted.

"Why do I despise you, it's so ugly" Liu Chang finally raised his eyes to look at him, but it didn't matter if he looked at it, General Sima felt that a green light seemed to emerge from Liu Chang's eyes, and there was a feeling of being targeted by a wolf, but this green light was not looking at himself, but looking at the horse he was sitting on, only listening to Liu Chang's 'oh', and ignoring that he was naked, Sima County Ling was washing himself, and walked over, it turned out that General Sima was riding a sweaty horse.

"You, what are you going to do" General Sima's cold hairs stood up all of a sudden, and he remembered that this little bare cheek was the nemesis of sweat and blood.

Quickly turn over and dismount and block in front of the car.

"I guess, you must not have eaten the meat of the sweaty horse, the meat of the sweaty horse and the ordinary horse meat, there is no difference, it is not delicious, but the brain of the sweaty horse is delicious, burn it with fire, and sprinkle some salt, wow, delicious! ~~”

"You killed so many just to eat the brains of sweaty horses?"

"Of course, otherwise why would I raise that. Go back and tell the emperor, I want this horse, this is three hundred and fifty-nine, and there are four hundred and forty-one left. ”

"Just because I didn't come, okay?" General Weiwei Sima spoke with a crying voice, this horse was exchanged for his own merits on the battlefield, usually, the horse was more concerned than his own mother and son, so he almost slept in his arms at night.

"No, disobeying the emperor's order is a capital crime, how can I watch you jump into the fire pit."

"I, I, I'll bathe you myself." In order to ensure the life of the horse, General Sima also let it go, and the sweat and blood of the horse were worth more than his face.

Liu Chang looked at his hands of dancing guns and sticks, and said with disgust: "Look at your hands are rough like tree bark, and my skin is tender and tender." ”

"Then, I'll pay for it, and you said you wanted... How much? ”

"Well, it's negotiable, but it's expensive. I don't think it's worth it for you to spend money on a dead horse. ”

"Why a dead horse?"

"I'm not going to kill now, I'm going to kill tonight. You know, how hard it is for me to get over 800 horses. Liu Chang said casually: "You didn't lose the dogs you killed, did you?" ”

"Well, it doesn't seem to be... I didn't lose it" The general's thinking couldn't keep up, his brain was churning, and it wasn't enough. We are talking about horses, how do you remember those dead dogs? Still, as long as the attention is not on the horse.

"Great, you hurry up and ask someone to get two, I'm really a little hungry" Liu Chang looked at the rushing water, his eyes lit up. Dog meat, he didn't eat it at first, but after eating it once with his beggar brothers, he thought it was good, it was better than just eating beef, and he no longer resisted dog meat.

"Your request is too much" General Sima was about to cry, what is this called, how can he explain to the emperor when he goes back? Tell the emperor, let's give you a bath, send two dogs to your old man's house to satisfy your hunger, and come back without missing a single hair? You don't know if the emperor clicks or not, he must have clicked me first.

By the time the guard sent his soldiers back to the city to bring back the dead dog, it was already dusk, so at Liu Chang's kind invitation, the three of them happily held a bonfire dinner and feasted on dog meat. Of course, on the way, Liu Chang took out his own special food, burnt salt horse brain, although both of them had the urge to taste it, but in the end, they gave up.

Waiting for Wei Wei Sima to collect the team and return to the city, although he did not complete the emperor's order, he would definitely be punished, but General Sima was still very happy to --- his horse, and the sweat and blood horse were saved, not Liu Chang's soft-heartedness, but Liu Chang knew that this horse was Wei Wei's private property, not the imperial court.
