Chapter 8: A Generation of Virtuous Kings

"Hey, you can't speculate, this thing can't talk nonsense, it's going to die!" Li Yunshui seemed to have a serious tone, but he didn't look serious at all.

At this time, he suddenly remembered that the eldest brother in front of him didn't bow down just now.

So, he raised his head and looked at the person in front of him with a smile: "Besides, didn't you kneel too?" Don't you ......?"

"Bold! Do you know that he is ......" Seeing Li Yunshui so disrespectful, the thin old man beside the middle-aged man immediately scolded loudly.

However, he was stopped by a middle-aged man shaking his hand.

"Hahaha, you kid, it's funny. However, you haven't told me why you didn't bow down when you saw the emperor's dragon? ”

"It's very simple, you said, the emperor was there just now, ......" Li Yunshui raised his finger and pointed to the place where the dragon had just stopped, and then said: "It's seven or eight hundred meters away from me, to say the least, whether I kneel or not, I can't see it if I want to come to the emperor." Moreover, how can a little person like me enter the eyes of the emperor? Why do things that don't make sense! ”

When the middle-aged man heard this, he stroked his palms and laughed, looking very happy: "Good! Good! Good! A good sentence can not be seen by the emperor whether he kneels or not! ”

He continued to ask: "Dare to ask the little brother for his name?" ”

"I don't dare to respect my surname, and I don't have a big name, under Li Yunshui, Li Yunshui between Yunshui."

"Li Yunshui, well, good name, I remember it." He arched his hand and said with a smile: "Then, Li Gongzi, I still have something to do, let's say goodbye, and look forward to having the opportunity to meet in the future." ”

The two exchanged politeness and said goodbye.

At this time, Zhu Xie walked over, with a look of lost soul on his face, as if he had lost his soul, Li Yunshui asked him a few words, but he didn't necessarily reply to anything useful. The two followed suit, and returned to the inn like this.

The current situation is clear to several parties.

The emperor went down to the south of the Yangtze River, it was by no means as simple as touring the mountains and rivers, with his temperament, he did not hesitate to use himself as bait, it must be to wipe out those unstable people and solve some things that have not been solved for a long time.

This also proves from the side that the situation in the south of the Yangtze River has triggered the emperor's heart disease, and he wants to eradicate those rebellious ministers and thieves once and for all.

And this is not the emperor's whim, there have been events in the past to prove that what he wants to do will definitely not be merciful, let alone procrastinating.

What's even more intriguing is that this earth-shattering game was hidden from the group of magistrates in Jiangnan, did they not trust them?

At the same time, I originally thought that the current catastrophe was just the Torch Sect going south, but I didn't expect another group of people to emerge, and the identity of that group of people was obviously a little sensitive...... It was not cleared, and this point, neither the emperor nor this group of magistrates, was completely unexpected.

Looking at the current situation, the emperor's strategy did not achieve the expected effect, and he didn't even inform him afterwards, and just quietly left.

All this is undoubtedly a big head. Perhaps, the thunder and anger just didn't reach it.

Sure enough, although the emperor had left, there were several places where there was no peace.

Jiangnan Mansion Ya, lobby.

Luo Weiping, Jiang Caiyu, and Xu Ruoyun, the deputy general of the Tiger Slaughter Battalion stationed in Jiangnan, were sitting in their positions at this time, all looking sad.

Their thoughts were still in the holy decree that the chief eunuch had just come to read out before Limo.

The decree readsβ€”

"Luo, Jiang, and Xu, I won't tell you those illusory bullshit, I will only ask you three questions. I asked Yin Luo Weiping of Jiangnan Mansion, you have been the prime minister of Jiangnan affairs for more than ten years, and the remnants of King Luo still exist, you don't know, do you really don't know, or do you not know? Can you still do it? Second, ask the Jiangnan weaving manager, no matter what kind of torch sect, or what Luo Wang remnants, where do they get the assets to operate? If you still have the kindness of a woman, you don't want this weaving house. Three questions about Xu Sanjiang, the leader of the Tiger Slaughter Camp, can he still eat? I painstakingly set up this plan for the golden cicada to come out of its shell and Li Daitao to stiffen, but I didn't expect your tiger slaughtering camp to be so lax and careless, which made me very disappointed. ”

"You wait for half a year, be pragmatic, and fight on the wall chart. First, it is necessary to extinguish the fire and teach all the forces in Jiangnan; Second, we must act quickly to lead them to kill them and ensure that no one of King Luo's party remains; Third, we must focus on a person named Li Yunshui, who will send me news every month, and never be lazy. ”

This holy decree undoubtedly shows that the emperor is very angry, or at least he is not satisfied with the affairs that the three of them are responsible for. And the several requirements put forward by the emperor, at present, it seems that only the third point is easy to do.

The Torch Cult had always operated underground, barely on the stage. How can it be eradicated without a trace?

Luo Wang ...... It was already a person twenty years ago, and he had already died in the dust, if that person hadn't suddenly appeared, who knew that there was still King Luo in Jiangnan?

As for that Li Yunshui...... By the way, who is Li Yunshui? The three of you, you look at me, I look at you, you don't know.

This is really not an easy thing to do.

However, no matter how difficult things are, the emperor personally arranges them, and as a courtier, he should do everything he can to do it, and he must do it well. Whether it is Jiang Caiyu, Luo Weiping, or even Xu Ruoyun, who received the order on behalf of his father, there is no room for shirk.

So, they had a small meeting and finally reached a unanimous decision.

And in a small mountain village outside the city of Jiangnan Prefecture, there is also a story.

A thatched house, an old Confucian man over half a hundred years old, a big man wrapped in bandages, and a few middle-aged people in cloth clothes sat together, their expressions were very heavy.

The old man who looked like a Confucian pondered and slowly spoke: "Qu Ping, you are too reckless, I have already said that Xiao Wanli is extremely deep in the city, and he is extremely sparing in his life, and he was assassinated by the Torch Sect once, how can he show up in public, there must be fraud in it, you ...... Alas, it was really eager to win and too hasty. ”

The big man named Qu Ping lowered his head in shame: "I...... I let my brothers bury their bones, and I can't blame them for dying. Strategist, the big mistake has been made, I ...... I am ashamed to give my brothers, and I must give you an explanation. ”

Then, he was a little emotional, took out the black tiger Yao Ripei, put it on the table respectfully, and stabilized his mind: "When I find the young master, please ask the military advisor to give me a chance to be a pawn, so that I can die on the battlefield of revenge for His Royal Highness, which can be regarded as worthy of the kindness of His Royal Highness King Luo." ”

After that, the past came to mind, and Qu Ping cried when he landed.

The person known as the military advisor carefully picked up the jade pendant, looked at it for a long time, looked at Qu Ping, and also sighed with some emotion: "I, Zhao Wuwu, followed His Royal Highness King Luo for half my life, His Royal Highness treats me like a brother, this jade pendant is true, it is indeed the pendant that King Luo carries with him." It's just that...... Why are you sure that Zhu Xie is the son of His Highness? ”

Qu Ping suddenly felt like he had been beaten with chicken blood, and even his breathing became short: "Strategist, when I saw that bamboo solution, his face was like King Luo, and it was no different." ”

"Moreover, when the Mawangshan army was defeated, Mrs. Su Li handed over the young master to His Royal Highness, and then suddenly killed herself, His Royal Highness was grief-stricken, and the situation could not be reversed, so she personally handed over the young master to me, and handed over this black tiger Yao Ripei to me, and asked me to break through with the young master."

"When I took the jade pendant, Your Highness ...... His Highness also went away with himself. I stuffed this jade pendant into the swaddling clothes of the young master, and came down the mountain, when I was invincible with the man in black, and the young master was snatched away, I saw with my own eyes that the jade pendant was in the swaddling clothes...... I'm sure that Takejie is the flesh and blood of His Highness! ”

When Zhao Wuwu and the few people below heard this, they all stared at the black jade pendant and fell silent.

Opposite Jiangnan Mansion, in the Xiqu Inn, in a room, Jun Moxiao, Wuwu, Wu Lianshan, and several other people also sat together and conspired.

"Xiao Wanli is really a big hand, this courage, I really admire it! I can even be sure that he was watching from the outside. ”

"Master, what should we do next?"

Jun Moxiao pondered for a moment, shook his head and sighed: "Jiangnan...... I'm afraid it's going to rain, and this rain must be mixed with blood. ”

"Tell all the ministries to immediately disperse and evacuate Jiangnan Mansion, and all Qiaozhuang will enter Qiyang, and you must not act without my order."

In addition, half of the people from each hall were left behind, and the rest waited for half a month to rest and enter Beijing in batches. Be careful, be careful, and don't show your feet. ”

"Worry-free, Lianshan, you two will enter Beijing immediately with me."

Worry-free listened to this arrangement, and her expression was more or less unnatural, and she spoke: "Father, can you ...... Can you keep me here? Qiyang ...... Qiyang still needs someone to co-ordinate. ”

"No!" Jun Moxiao flatly refused: "The situation in Jiangnan is already very critical, how can you rest assured that you are in this Longtan tiger's den, how can you rest assured that you are a father?" ”

"Needless to say!" Seeing that his daughter was about to argue, Jun Mo laughed and stopped it.

Seeing this, Wu Wu silently lowered his head.

The emperor went down to Jiangnan and returned to Jiangnan, which is already well known. The encounter of this big man in Jiangnan has already caused a strong wind.

There is a wanted bounty circulating throughout Gangnam Province, targeting both one person and one group.

That person, naturally, is Qu Ping, and now the streets are full of his portraits, and even dozens of people who look similar to him have been arrested and tortured in the Jiangnan Mansion prison.

So far, none of the wronged people who have been affected have come out of that high prison.

And that group is naturally the Torch Sect, and of course it inevitably affects countless innocent people.

All of a sudden, there was a lot of rumors, and everyone was in danger.

Although this bounty wanted is not as simple as it seems on the surface, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and those gossip that does not know the source is like having wings and has already flown all over the market and become the talk of the conversation after dinner.

The people all remembered the person twenty years ago - Xiao Yuanshan, the king of Luo, and Xiao Yuanshan, the virtuous king of a generation.

More than 20 years ago, vassal kings stood side by side and spread all over Suyang. This Jiangnan Province was the fief of King Luo at that time.

Although he was the emperor of Jiangnan, he was diligent in government and loved the people, did not pay taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and did not impose heavy torture. During the five years of Fengwang Jiangnan Road, he did not close his door at night, did not leave the road behind, and was supported by the people, and won the name of a virtuous king.

At that time, Xiao Wanli was not an emperor, just a weak prince, because he was not yet eighteen, he only got the name of King Zhen, and he did not have his own fiefdom, in the deep palace, the prince Xiao Qiyu hated him, but also suffered a lot.

Seeing that the wish of the fiefdom was blocked layer by layer, and it seemed that it was far away, I couldn't help but feel disheartened.

So, he found an opportunity and asked the emperor to let him travel to Jiangnan to increase his knowledge.

Although this excuse was false, the prince was happy to see it, and even took the initiative to add fuel to the fire and sent Xiao Wanli to this Jiangnan Province.

Luo Wang Xianming, although Xiao Wanli, the king of Tongzhen, was not born to the same mother, but treated this younger brother like a compatriot, eating, drinking and sleeping together, the two were like-minded and very happy in Jiangnan Province.

What kind of affinity was there in those years?

In another two years, the crown prince lost his morality and was deposed. King Luo and King Zhen were summoned to return to Beijing, and the emperor will choose the virtuous.

It is said that King Luo, whose heart is in the mountains and rivers, has no intention of Dabao, and after expressing his mind to the emperor, he left Beijing alone and in style.

To talk about the situation at that time, the emperor originally intended to let King Luo ascend the throne, but King Luo was really reluctant to give up that brotherly love, so he pushed it back.

This move also chilled the emperor's heart.

However, after King Zhen ascended the throne, he couldn't wait to implement the new policy, and the vassal kings of various places stood in the way.

As a result, he launched a plan to reduce the feudal domain, which was strongly opposed by the major feudal kings for a while, but they all watched each other and did not move.

The stalemate situation is very serious, and if you don't pay attention, you may pull Suyang into a place of no return.

At this time, King Luo once again took into account the overall situation, reflecting enough high wind and bright festival, he took the initiative to hand over the personnel account books and military power of the fiefdom, and at the same time wrote to Xiao Wanli, he had no intention of being prosperous and rich, and he would no longer be a king after cutting the domain, but only a free guest in the rivers and lakes, and he would be so comfortable in his life.

However, this move aroused Xiao Wanli's suspicions, and he sent Xu Sanjiang, the commander of the Gyeonggi battalion at the time, to garrison troops thirty miles away from Jiangnan Mansion, and immediately after the handover of the soldiers, he immediately entered Jiangnan in a big way.

King Naluo is simple-minded, and feels that Xiao Wanli is like a brother to him, how can he harm himself? He lost his heart to defend against others, so he went on the road, and with a group of government soldiers, he was forced to Mawang Mountain, and when he saw that his wife and children could not be saved, he was disheartened and drew his sword to kill himself.

Xiao Wanli was really hard-hearted, and he displayed the body of King Luo along the way, transported it all the way back to Kyoto, and exposed it to the sun on the city wall of Kyoto for a month, and the scene was very tragic.

When the news came, the people in Jiangnan were excited, and they were unhappy with King Luo, and there were even several riots. But they were all suppressed by the eagle dogs of the imperial court, as strongly as sweeping away fallen leaves, and the corpses were all over the field for a while, bleeding thousands of miles.

As a result, after winning Jiangnan, Xiao Wanli was like a bamboo, annihilating the rest of the vassal kings in one fell swoop, and realizing the grand hegemony of dominating the world.

Although, a lot of blood was shed.

As for people, they are always very forgetful, especially those things that have nothing to do with personal food and coldness, no matter how beautiful the story is, no matter how painful the tragedy, it will disappear with the passage of time.

Since then, in this world, there is no King Luo, and everyone no longer mentions King Luo.

Today, the word Luo Wang appears again after tea and dinner, is it another bloody storm?

No one can say clearly, it is really a mountain rain that is about to come and the wind is full of buildings.
