Chapter 134: Full of Loyalty

Xu Zhi poured the blue potion on his fingers, slowly and evenly smeared it on the blank paper, and after a while, the light blue handwriting appeared on the paper, and I saw that it was written: "I, the descendants of the Xu and Luo families, according to my method, poured ink into the paper, and you can see the handwriting on the paper......"

It turned out that King Luo Bin saw that Zang Yunzhai had been besieged by the imperial court, and his time was short, but this big secret could not be buried in the ground because of himself, so he had to use rice soup as ink, write the secret on blank paper, and after drying, he told his descendants to paint it with a small amount of special purple potion, and the secret could reappear in the sky. Only those who are not greedy for wealth and wealth can get this secret, and those who are greedy will never risk destroying the wordless heavenly book, so that the secret will never have to worry about being revealed!"

Xu Zhijian saw that what was recorded on the dozens of pages of letters was the theft of the "Tui Bei Tu" by the Queen of Heaven that year, and the Xu and Luo families were angry:

It turned out that Luo Bin Wang was originally a native of Wuzhou, poor when he was young, and traveled around, until the third year of Gaozong Yifeng, he was promoted to the lord of Chang'an, and soon entered the court as a servant of the imperial history. At that time, Gaozong was sick, Wu Zetian hung the curtain to listen to the government, and King Luo Bin wrote many times to satirize, asking Wu to return to the Son of Heaven.

Soon there was a rare solar eclipse in Chang'an, and the people in the city were boiling, and rumors spread everywhere that the solar eclipse would not be conducive to the Son of Heaven and the crown prince. King Luo Bin took advantage of the change in heaven and asked Gaozong again in the court to remove the curtain, return the government to the minister, and let the prince supervise the country, but his political views were once again refuted by Gaozong.

Luo Bing Wang was depressed, after the next dynasty alone in the Chang'an wine shop drinking, using wine to express his unhappiness, but attracted the attention of three guests nearby, the head of the guest was a weak crown of young man, gorgeous, extraordinary manners, he listened to Luo Bing Wang's dissatisfaction, stopped drinking, applauded, and invited Luo Bing Wang to drink at the same table.

Luo Bingwang saw that the man knew himself and understood himself, and his heart was very moved, so he readily agreed to the young man's invitation, and after some drinking and heart-to-heart, he learned that the young man at the head was the current prince Li Xian, and the two people around him were the British prince Li Jingye and his nephew Li Hui.

Li Xian said with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that Lord Luo has a noble character and superb learning, and now I am fortunate to meet Sansheng!"

King Luo Bin bowed down and replied: "Luo Mou's knowledge is ugly, he is more than twenty years old, and he has only been used by the imperial court as a royal history official, how can the Son of Heaven not need my words, so he has to come here to complain, so that the prince and several generals can laugh!"

Li Jingye also said: "The prince, Lord Luo, is a military general, he likes to speak straightforwardly, and now he is tired of the government, everything is ruled by the queen's mother, for a long time, these hundred officials only know the queen, where do they still know that I have a son of heaven and a prince in the Tang Dynasty? How can this government be stable? How can this people's hearts not be chaotic?"

King Luo Bin saw that Li Jingye said very clearly, and also persuaded, "Prince, since ancient times, the Son of Heaven has established a prince to stabilize the military and the people's hearts in the world. Now that he is sick and sick, he still asks the prince to take on more of this important national matter, how can the queen mother be allowed to manage the harem and deal with the government at the same time? Isn't that the reversal of yin and yang, and the instability of the national government?"

Li Xian sighed: "What General Li and Lord Luo said is reasonable, I have also mentioned to the queen mother many times to let the child take care of some government affairs, but the queen mother always thinks that I am young and has no experience, so let me wait patiently for some more time!"

Li Jingye said again: "The prince must not listen to the queen's plan to delay the army, has the prince forgotten how the first prince died? The queen mother just gave him a glass of imperial wine, and the first prince died suddenly that night!"

Li Xian saw Li Jingye mention the cause of death of the first prince Li Hong, and said in shock: "No, the queen mother will not poison Brother Hong, Brother Hong is her biological son!"

When Li Hui heard this, he couldn't help but interject: "Tiger poison does not eat children, this queen is too vicious, how can such a person deal with national affairs, if she is allowed to succeed in her conspiracy, then the Tang Dynasty will not be destroyed in her hands?

Li Xian sighed: "General Li doesn't know: now the important ministers of the imperial court are some villains who see the wind and steer the rudder and flatter, and when they see that the queen mother is in power all over the world, they blindly speak for her, where are there still people who are loyal to the royal family? Alas, this man's heart is in turmoil, and unless he can steal a strange book in the Great Interior, he will be able to discern the future of this world!"

King Luo Bin asked rhetorically: "His Royal Highness the Prince, what kind of strange book is it?"

Li Xian was just about to speak, but Li Jingye saw that there were more and more guests coming to the wine shop for dinner, and he was afraid that he would leak secrets, so he hurriedly persuaded: "Lord Luo, the prince has drunk too much today, so we won't mention these troubles! We'll see you later!", after speaking, he took the prince and left.

A few days later, King Luo Bin wrote again to admonish him, asking Wu Zetian to respond to the people and return to the crown prince. Wu Zetian was furious, and through the curtain, he accused King Luo Bin and said: "Many times slandered, separated the relationship between the prince and the mother and son of the monarch and the palace of the palace, and tried in vain to disturb the court, Yu Linwei was about to hit his staff eighty, put the official in prison, and was executed after the autumn for the crime of great disrespect!"

Li Xian saw that after King Luo Bin was imprisoned, he sent his guard Li Hui to visit him many times, and Li Hui saw that King Luo Bin in prison was in rags, handcuffed and shackled, and his body was incomplete, and he was still unwilling to succumb to Wu Zetian's obscenity. In order to show his heart and ambition, King Luo Bin immediately wrote a poem "Chanting Cicadas in Prison":

"It's hard to fly in the dew,

The wind is loud and easy to sink.

No one believes in Gaojie,

Who's going to show your heart?"

Li Hui saw that although King Luo Bin had gone through hardships, he still did not change his original intention, and said with tears: "Lord Luo is suffering in prison, and when I go back, I will definitely give Prince Ming to try to rescue my lord, and I admire the nobility of my lord, and I am willing to marry my lord as a brother with a different surname!"

Luo Bin Wang expressed his gratitude and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that before I died, Luo, I could make a friend of life and death like Lord Li, and this life is worth it!"

A month later, a holy decree came down to pardon King Luo Bing's capital crime, but he was still imprisoned for the crime of evil words and disorder, and he could not be released from prison. Li Hui brought a pot of wine, brought some cooked food, and came to the prison to congratulate King Luo Bin, and when the two drank until they were drunk, Li Hui said to King Luo Bin: "Brother Luo, the prince said, as long as you wait patiently for the court's amnesty, you can be released from prison in a few months at the earliest and two or three years at the latest." ”

King Luo Bin knelt on the ground, kowtowed a few times in the direction of the imperial palace, and thanked: "Thank you for the rescue, the great kindness will be unforgettable!"

Li Hui paused for a while, and then said, "Brother Luo, for the sake of your loyalty to the prince, I will also tell you bad news for my brother!"

Luo Bingwang exclaimed: "What kind of bad news?"

Li Hui sighed: "The queen slandered His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for colluding with the party and assassinating important ministers of the imperial court. Long live was shocked when he heard this, and sent Yu Shi to investigate the case, but the disaster was not a single line, Yu Linwei found hundreds of armors in the stable of the East Palace, as ironclad evidence of the prince's rebellion, and now the prince is about to be deposed and will be imprisoned in the Chang'an Palace!"

King Luo Bin cried: "The crown prince has been deposed, isn't the queen's power even more arrogant? Brother Li, how is this good?"

Li Hui hesitated for a while, and then said: "Don't hide it from Brother Luo, the prince asked the British prince to immediately escape from Chang'an, go to Yangzhou, collect the righteous people from all over the world, and wait for the opportunity." If the queen can't abide by the women's way and usurp the throne and seize power, then order us to raise the banner of rebellion in Yangzhou, take the two capitals directly, and support the Tang Dynasty!"

King Luo Bin sighed: "Now it can only be arranged like this, what if the queen is not as the prince thinks?"

Li Hui said: "If that is the case, the prince is willing to thank the world with his death, and he and the British prince are also willing to die to martyr the prince!

King Luo Bin shouted: "Brother Li, please rest assured, since we are righteous brothers! Brothers should live and die together, brother promised eldest brother, as long as brother can get out of this prison, he will come to Yangzhou to meet Brother Li and discuss important matters together!"

Li Hui laughed and shouted, "Good brother, take care!", after smashing the empty wine jar in his hand, he left the prison.

A few years later, King Luo Bin was pardoned and released from prison, by which time Gaozong had died of illness, Zhongzong was deposed by Wu Zetian shortly after he ascended the throne, and the former crown prince Li Xian was assassinated on the way to exile in Bazhou. King Luo Bin saw that the world was about to be chaotic, so he had to lead his wife, left the chaotic Chang'an, came to Yangzhou, Huainan, and took refuge under the command of Li Jingye, the governor of Yangzhou.

Soon, Li Jingye supported the Tang Dynasty and assisted the prince Li Xian in the name of supporting the Tang Dynasty, supporting more than 100,000 soldiers and raising righteousness in Yangzhou. Wu Zetian was furious when he found out, and cut off Li Jingye's British dukedom, and cut off his given national surname, and demoted the British duke to a commoner!

At this time, Xu Jingye immediately summoned his staff and generals to discuss countermeasures, Xu Jingye said: "Now that the Wu clan does not abide by women's morals, they actually take over the court in Sichen, monopolize the court, murder the prince, and depose the prince, is it unbearable!

Xu Hui first offered advice: "In the name of Kuangfu, the British public should lead the army and drum to march and take Heluo directly, and the heroes of the world know that we have the king of Zhiqin, then the world will inevitably gather to respond, and then wave the army straight into Chang'an, then the great thing can be done!"

King Luo Bin also said: "British Duke, what Brother Xu said is extremely reasonable, our army should take the lead in asking for the people's life, and his subordinates are willing to draft a document for Ming Gong and announce it to the world!"

Xu Jingye listened to King Luo Bin's words and said with great joy: "Okay, let's read Brother Luo's Hanmo article!"

King Luo Bin thought for a while, and with a wave, everyone leaned over to watch, only to see that it was written: "Those who are pseudo-in the Wu clan of the dynasty are not harmonious in nature, and the earth is really cold." In the past, Taizong was under Chen, and he once entered the service ...... with a change of clothes", all the staff members read the first sentence, and they all nodded and praised: "Brother Luo is very good, what he said is extremely true!"

I saw that it was written later: "...... Yan pecked the emperor's grandson, knowing that Han Zuo was about to end. After Emperor Longluan, he knew the decline of the Xia Court. Those guests applauded in unison: "Brother Luo's use of pawns here is wonderful, comparing the Wu clan to Zhao Feiyan and Bao Xi to disturb the court, it's too vivid!"

Everyone read "Dedicated to the old ministers of the Tang Dynasty, the princes and graves, the success of the ancestors, and the kindness of the Dutch Dynasty." ...... , a handful of soil has not dried, and six feet of loneliness is not supported. "I couldn't help but burst into tears.

Luo Bingwang read to the end: "...... Please see whose world is in today's domain!", all the generals couldn't help but draw their swords and rise up angrily.

Xu Jingye was just about to give the order to wave his army north into the Central Plains and become the king of the world, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Xue Zhang, the strategist beside him, who had never spoken, and asked, "Xue Junshi, what do you think of our army's actions?"

Only then did Xue Zhang slowly express the worries in his heart: "British Duke, now up to the imperial court and down to the people, it has long been rumored: After the third generation of the Tang Dynasty, the heroine of the world, the solar eclipse in Chang'an a few years ago is enough to show the correctness of this prediction! Since the Wu clan is sharp, the current strategy of our army should be to avoid its edge, go south to Runzhou, and call Wang Jiangnan!"

Before Xue Zhang's words could speak, he was interrupted by Xu Hui: "Xue Junshi, our army has not yet encountered the enemy, so we blindly retreat and avoid it, and the soldiers will inevitably discourage.

Xue Zhang saw that Xu Jingye was very hesitant, and persuaded again: "Ming Gong, in the humble opinion of his subordinates, it is better to let General Xu Hui lead a vanguard to take the Central Plains first, and if he wins, our army will continue to follow up;

Xu Jingye listened to it and praised: "Master Xue, this plan is safe, just act according to your strategy!"

Xu Hui was greatly disappointed when he saw that Xu Jingye had listened to Xue Zhang's advice, but he still tried his best to admonish: "Guogong must not listen to Xue Junshi's nonsense, let alone covet the prosperity of Jiangnan, his subordinates have been operating Songzhou, the center of river transportation, for many years, and the righteous people there are all looking forward to the commander, and they will go north as soon as possible to build a great cause!"

Xue Zhang saw that Xu Hui was very stubborn, and he didn't give himself any face, so he also said angrily: "General Xu, can you alone resist the warnings of heaven and the prophecy of the heroine? You are going against the sky, and you are going to put the British public in a situation where there will be no return!"

Xu Hui argued: "Since the reason why the big marshal is doing things is to support justice and save the people of the world, he should move forward bravely, how can he be frightened by a vain proverb, then why should he raise troops? It is better to be comfortable as a prince with a shrunken head!"

Xu Jingye listened to Xu Hui's words, was very uncomfortable, and scolded: "Xu Hui, if it weren't for the fact that he has not yet left the division and cannot kill the general, Ben Shuai would have borrowed your dog-headed shaman a long time ago!

Xu Hui said: "My subordinates are in the former prince's mansion, and I have heard that there is a secretary who can predict the future "Tui Bei Tu", as long as you sneak into the palace and steal this secretary, you can announce it secretly to the world, and then the heroine should have the world's nonsense, and she will be self-defeating!"

Xu Jingye heard this, and said with great joy: "Since there is such a strange book in the palace, Ben Shuai also wants to know who is the final winner between me and Wu Meiniang, Xu Hui, Ben Shuai ordered you to go to Songzhou immediately and contact the local righteous people to prepare for an uprising." In addition, you have to try to sneak into Da Nei to steal this strange book in the world, Ben Shuai is waiting for your good news in Yangzhou!"

Xu Hui bowed and replied, "No, the young general will leave for Songzhou tonight!"

When King Luo Bin saw that Xu Hui was going to Songzhou alone, he was reluctant to do so, and he also stepped forward and said: "Handsome, my subordinates are also willing to follow Brother Xu to Songzhou, please give permission!"

Xu Jingye said impatiently: "Okay, it's okay for you all to go to Songzhou, Ben Shuai hopes that you will bring "Tui Bei Tu" back to Yangzhou as soon as possible!"

It is said that after Xu Hui and King Luo Bin arrived in Songzhou, they convened the righteous men of Songzhou in the tomb of King Song to discuss the matter, but due to the hurry of the incident and insufficient preparation, the time for the event was delayed again and again, and there was no regular time until half a year later.

At this time, there was also news that the British Duke was defeated by Li Xiaoyi of the imperial court due to the light enemy, and it was even rumored that Xu Jingye had crossed the sea and fled to Goryeo. Seeing that the situation was urgent, Xu Hui decided to put himself in danger and steal the "Tui Bei Tu" from the palace to clear the fog and point out the direction for the righteous army.

On a moonlit evening, Xu Hui said to King Luo Bin: "Brother Luo, the eldest brother has decided to go to the palace alone to steal the secretary, and if he can't come back, he also asks Brother Luo to lead the righteous people of Songzhou to continue to fight against the imperial court until the people's hearts return to the Tang Dynasty." There is nothing to entrust for your brother, the only thing to worry about is your sister-in-law and nephew, I hope my brother can arrange them well, and I can rest assured that my brother is dead!"

Seeing that Xu Hui's mind had been decided, King Luo Bin knew that he couldn't persuade him to come back, so he had to nod at him.

Xu Hui finally broke into the inner courtyard of the palace one night ten days later, with superb martial arts, he avoided the Yulinwei in the palace, and came to the imperial study, he went through the window and checked for a long time, only to find this strange book in a golden kui, he saw that the golden kui was plastered with the imperial treasure seals of the Son of Heaven in the past dynasties, and knew that this "Tui Bei Tu" could not be seen by anyone except the Son of Heaven had seen it.

Xu Hui used the dagger he was carrying, slowly pried open the cover, and used all his internal strength to cut off the chains on the gold skull one by one, because the knocking sound was too loud, it disturbed the nearby guards. Xu Hui didn't dare to stay for a long time, and he was about to leave as soon as he grabbed this strange book. Unexpectedly, a palace guard had already grabbed him, and he also grabbed the strange book, and the two of them used force at the same time to tear the strange book in half.

Xu Hui saw that the guards were all coming towards him, he had an idea, raised the dragon and phoenix candle in his hand, and threw it to the library, which immediately set fire to the entire imperial study, and those guards saw the fire in the imperial study, and hurriedly stepped forward to extinguish the flames. Xu Hui took advantage of the chaos, put the last few pages of the strange book into his arms, shook his sword, jumped out of the window again, and disappeared into the night.

As mentioned in the previous book, Xu Hui rushed back to the ancient tomb of Songzhou overnight, and was later betrayed by traitors, and had to burn the strange book before he died, leaving only a page of pictures about the current situation divided into two, half of which was thrown into the pool of mercury, and half of the page of proverbs was brought back to Yangzhou by King Luo Bin.
