End of Life Bar.
Wu Moran's story was told by Wu Yihuan about a controversy in the court.
The eldest grandson Yucheng has been an emperor for more than 30 years, of course he knew what Mao Dezhong meant, so he ordered to transfer 20,000 blazing troops from Lanzhou, led by the lieutenant of the Chinese military academy Mou Definition, and rushed to Cangzhou overnight, and ordered Geng Qifa, the border pastor of Yuzhou, to lead 30,000 border troops and the blazing army to round at the border of Cangzhou, and the two armies worked together to exterminate the Xianyuan rebellion.
Note that the orders given to Mu and Geng Qifa were to exterminate, not rescue.
This emperor's old father is ruthless! For the sake of Jiangshan Sheji, he doesn't even want his son.
Then he ordered someone to draw up a battle document called "Battle Paper" overnight, which roughly means three:
1. Gongsun Chaos, you are a king and eight calves, and the prodigal son is ambitious! Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, Cangzhou is an inseparable part of my Dahan, how can it be given to you? You go to shi!
Second, Xianyuan is a cult, and I advise all the followers to turn back, otherwise when my 100,000 army (exaggerated, you know) is killed, you will never recover!
3. I, Dahan, will not be coerced by the chaotic party, you had better obediently release the twenty-two princes, otherwise you will be killed by us!
This article was posted all over the nine states of Dahan in one day, and naturally it also spread to Gongsun Chao.
Gongsun looked at this article that scolded him for deforming, and couldn't help but be happy in his heart, thinking: Do you really think I want this broken place in Cangzhou? It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter, and the ghost wants it! I'm just looking for an excuse to play with you, the emperor! You said you brought in 100,000 troops, do you think I'll be afraid? But it looks like you're not going to have that son, it's okay, you don't want it, I want it!
So he threw "Envy Yuan Rebellion and Thief Leader Gongsun Chao" in front of the eldest grandson Yuanque, and said: Your father won't send someone to save you!
The eldest grandson Yuanque looked at Yu Wen and asked tremblingly: It said that 100,000 troops had been sent over, and you were told to release me quickly, why did you say that he would not send someone to save me?
Gongsun said: "Look, your father said that we should let you go, but he didn't say that if we didn't let go, the people he sent would not come to save you, but only said that they would come and destroy us. You taste, you taste, do you have the pleasure of giving up a small family to take care of everyone? Hee-hee.
Looking at the text, and looking at the perverted smiling face of Gongsun Chao, the whole heart of the eldest grandson Yuanque was like an ice cellar.
He thought to himself: So after all, I am just a little person born of a palace maid, not only am I not treated by those royal brothers, but even my life is not worth saving.
And the reason why he sent troops to fight was just to save his own face?
Father! Why are you so cool! I think I studied diligently in the past, and I was attentive to everything, although I didn't have much fame, but I also had outstanding achievements and was loved by my husband, and the reason why I worked so hard was nothing more than to get more favor from my father.
But now, are you going to abandon me for the sake of your great country?
The eldest grandson Yuanque here was trembling in despair because no one came to save him, but there was a person over there who was on the way to save him, who? His hanging knife, which is closer than his own brother, is the fifth son of Wu Chengbi, the general of the First Pinrui Palace, Wu Moran.
It is said that Wu Moran woke up in a dizzy state the day after the eldest grandson Yuanque was taken away, touching his groggy and somewhat migrained head and thinking: No! This type of headache is trapped! And I've been sleeping very shallowly, but I didn't wake up yesterday, right! Someone must have secretly tricked him!
So he hurriedly rushed to the chamber of the eldest grandson Yuanque in a few arrows, because he was worried that something might happen to the eldest grandson Yuanque.
He knocked on the door for a long time, but no one opened the door, and then he used a trick to listen through the wall, put his ear on the door and listened inside, there was no sound inside, not even the sound of breathing, so he shook the door open with internal force, found that the bed was empty, reached out and touched the futon, and found that it was cold, so he patted his head and shouted: Not good! Sure enough, he was kidnapped by thieves! And it was in the middle of the night!
He hurried to the Cangzhou Mansion, and the official at the gate stopped him and asked, "Who are you?" Want to break into the official gate early in the morning!?
Wu Moran took out a token from his arms and said loudly: I am Wu Moran, the captain of the Rui Wangfu, please take me to see your family quickly, I have something urgent to discuss!
Looking at the word "Rui" on it, the official who was originally still arrogant immediately clenched his fists and said in a humble tone: It turned out to be Lord Wu of Rui Wangfu, and the little one has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, so he will take the adult to see Lord Lei.
This Lord Lei's full name is Lei Zhenyu (okay, okay, please don't discuss this name), this Lei Zhenyu is the governor of Cangzhou Mansion, which is equivalent to the current governor. Therefore, the official introduced Wu Moran to Lei Zhenyu.
Lei Zhenyu had just gotten up at that time, and he hadn't eaten breakfast yet, when he suddenly heard a rumor outside the lobby: Lord Yu, Lord Wu, the chief of the Rui Wangfu, came to discuss something important!
When Lei Zhenyu heard this, he hit a spirit, and thought: Why are the people from Rui Wangfu here? King Rui is the eldest grandson of the twenty-second prince, what are his people doing in Cangzhou?
Puzzled, he welcomed Wu Moran, who was striding into the inner courtyard, and asked: I don't know what the matter is when the adults come to my Cangzhou Mansion?
Wu Moran immediately told Lei Zhenyu that he suspected that he was stunned and that his eldest grandson Yuanque was abducted by bad people.
Lei Zhenyu was terrified when he heard this, and a cold sweat broke out.
He thought to himself: I have been a state official in Cangzhou for more than ten years, although there are occasional killings and overselling goods in the government, but the influence is still small, and now, there is a prince who has been taken captive by me, and it seems that my position as a state official is unstable.
Lei Zhenyu hurriedly handed over all the servants of the entire government to Wu Moran, and told them that he wanted Wu Moran to take the horse's head as a witness.
When the officials heard that they were going to follow the capital to handle the case from the four ranks, they were all very excited.
Because these officials are all young people, as long as they are young people, whether they are ancient or modern, they like to seek excitement and like big scenes (no refutation is accepted).
This exile of the prince may be the biggest scene of their lives.
Therefore, these young officials followed the equally young lieutenant happily, no, it was elated, and no, it was not right, it was a vigorous start of the city-wide investigation.
But after investigation, the streets and alleys were investigated, and no clues were found.
At this time, a little official named Ai Dou said that the streets and alleys of the city had been searched, and now the only thing that was not searched and could hide people was the Yuan Temple outside the city.
Hearing him say this, Wu Moran patted his head and jumped up: My brother is a sun! (Familiar with this mantra, right?) Right! I'm learning from him, but then again, are you paying the wrong attention? Too lazy to talk nonsense with you! How did I forget that place? Isn't the purpose of my highness and I going to Cangzhou to go to the Yuan Temple? Maybe His Highness is being treated as a guest in the temple at this moment, eating and drinking well!
But he thought again, no, there are two situations in which logic doesn't work at all:
Scene 1: If His Highness wants to go to the Yuan Temple, he will definitely go with me, why do you want to stun me? Wouldn't it be good for us to go together?
Scene 2: If His Highness is invited by the people of the Yuan Temple, I will also be invited, because I am the person responsible for his safety, and if I don't invite me too, I will be suspected of kidnapping.
But anyway, since there is only one place left that has not been searched, then go and see, but you must first get a search document, after all, it is a regular temple, and you can't leave behind the excuse of favoritism.
When Lei Zhenyu heard the official document that Wu Moran was going to apply for a search of the Yuan Temple, he scolded in his heart: What kind of moth did this Gongsun Chao give me?
