From the rebellion of Qiu Fu in eastern Zhejiang in 859 A.D. to the pacification of the Huangchao Rebellion in 884 A.D., the peasant uprising that lasted 25 years swept half of the Tang Dynasty, dealt a heavy blow to the rule of the Tang Dynasty, and caused its national strength to decline greatly. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoIn 907 AD, Zhu Wen, the general of the Huangchao rebel army who rebelled and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, regained his dissent, abolished the emperor and established himself, changed the name of the country to Liang, and set the capital of Kaifeng, the Tang Dynasty fell, and Chinese history once again entered the era of turbulent warlord melee.

Three years after Liang Longde, Li Cunqiao led a large army to capture Bianzhou, and the city of Bianzhou was in chaos.

However, it is only the people in the city who are panicking, their lives have never been stable, and it is never themselves who control their fate, but the masters of this dynasty change, and their lives are like mustard, rising and falling in this troubled world. At this time, the Tang army had already ordered that all officials, big and small, as long as they were willing to bow down and call themselves ministers, should be retained in their original positions, and they would not be blamed for the past, and this is exactly what the so-called courtiers who lick and live on the temple all day long like to see. Therefore, many courtiers did not hesitate to surrender to the Tang army, for them it was just a change of official uniform, a new monarch, and nothing more, and what will never change is their own glory and wealth.

Fortunately, although there has never been a shortage of chaotic ministers and thieves in this world, there are also many loyal ministers and good generals. At this time, Pingyang County Hou, Prime Minister Jingxiang Fuzhong no longer has the tranquility of the past, Jingxiang called all the men, women and children in the house in the hall, this old man who has experienced countless ups and downs, full of vicissitudes, stood in the middle and said sadly: " I have followed Emperor Taizu for more than 30 years, Taizu has never suspected that I am the first to lift people, often ask me about the plan, I have the grace of knowing the encounter, Taizu is seriously ill, I am entrusted with my life, now Bianzhou has fallen, the young master died with a sword, the Zhu family and the Shatuo people are mortal enemies, what face do I have to enter the gate of the country again, only the death festival Mingzhi, in order to repay Taizu. After Jing Xiang finished speaking, he walked to the maid and servant next to him, and said to them: "You are dedicated to the Jing family, you are all considerate people, I really don't want you to go, but now Jing Fu can no longer stay, so you can all take your own plate and go back to your hometown." After hearing this, everyone bowed their heads and hid their faces and cried, among which Zhang Quan, the housekeeper who was already in the age of the sixtieth year, knelt down and cried: "Master, you let me stay with you." Jing Xiang helped Zhang Quan up, "Zhang Quan, get up, you have followed me for so many years, it's time to go home and enjoy the family fun of your children and grandchildren." ”

Zhang Quandao: "Master, if there is no you, how can there be my home, anyway, I am a lot of old people, let the little one accompany you." ”

Jing Xiang said: "Okay, you are the old man of Jingfu, and you have to take the lead for everyone." ”

At this time, Jing Xiang's son Jing Chen was following behind him, Jing Xiang turned to Jing Chen and said, "Chen'er, you go to the account room and bring all the silver taels to everyone to share." Jingchen promised to go to the account room with two servants and bring all the silver and silk cloth, and then distributed them all to the people, and they received the silver and said goodbye to Jingxiang one by one.

After the servants in the mansion left, Jingxiang, Jingchen, Jingchen's wife Li Zhirou and their son Jing Xining, who was less than five years old, were left in the huge Jingfu.

Jing Xiang said: "Chen'er, Zhirou, I have prepared a carriage for you, just park outside the back door, Chen'er, you hurry up and take Zhirou and Xining and leave Bianzhou." Jingchen looked up at Jing Xiang, he was already ready to be loyal to the country with Jing Xiang, "Dad, what do you mean?

Jing Xiang said: "I'll let you take Zhirou and Xining's mother and son to leave." ”

Jingchen said: "No, the child is not leaving, even if he leaves, he has to take you with us." ”

Jing Xiang's tone began to become stern, and he shouted: "The king humiliates the ministers to death, the king dies and the ministers die, besides, I am already an old bone, even if I want to go, I can't leave, but you are different, Xining is still so young, their mother and son need you, can you bear to let their orphans and widows accompany them to die?" Jingchen was stunned, he was not afraid of death, but he couldn't bear to let his young son die with his beloved wife, their mother and son should not become the funeral objects of this war, and together they should complete this so-called "feat" that should not belong to them 。

The young Jing Xining took Li Zhirou's hand and looked up at Jing Xiang and Jing Chen with his innocent eyes.

Jing Xiang walked in front of Jing Xining, bent down and stroked Jing Xining's little face, old tears, and then closed his eyes, waved his hand to urge Jing Chen to leave with Jing Xining's mother and son, Jing Chen looked at the loving and non-negotiable eyes in Jing Xiang's eyes, his eyes were moist, and he kowtowed to Jing Xiang with tears with Li Zhirou, and then picked up Jing Xining, and left in a hurry with Li Zhirou from the back door.

Jing Xiang looked at the empty Jing Mansion, his expression was calm and calm, he took out the white silk that had been prepared and hung it on the beams of the room, and sighed: "Less negative Qingyunzhi, and you have to be the king first." Dying old bones, breaking the soul and bright solar terms. Then he killed himself with hatred.

Soon after Jing Xiang committed suicide, the city of Bianzhou was broken, and Li Siyuan, the general of the Tang Army, led a group of soldiers to rush in, but found that Jing's mansion was already empty, so he ordered everyone to scatter and search, and walked to the hall by himself. Li Siyuan looked at Jing Xiang who was placed on the ground, and sighed regretfully: "Jing Xiang, this old stubborn, would rather die than surrender, and be buried for Zhu Wen's world, it's really not worth it, bury him well." Several soldiers took the order and carried Jing Xiang out.

"Report ・・・・・・", a Tang soldier hurriedly ran in from outside, and then half-knelt in front of Li Siyuan to report: "General, Jingchen, the son of Jing Xiang, ran through the back door with his wife and children. ”

Li Siyuan did not blame the former ministers of the Great Liang who surrendered to Chengcheng, but it was to stabilize the people's hearts and consolidate the rule of the Tang army, but he was not soft on the subjects of the Later Liang who refused to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, and vowed to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots.

Li Siyuan paced around on the ground, always a little uneasy, suddenly stopped, and instructed the person who looked like a general who had been following him: "Shu Xin, I think I have to trouble you to go, although Jing Xiang is a civil servant, but I heard that his son Jing Chen has a high martial arts, I am worried that the person who goes is not his opponent." ”

Shu Xin said: "The general can rest assured, the last general will definitely arrest Jingchen's family back." ”

After Shu Xin finished speaking, he led a few people to prepare to go out, and Li Siyuan stopped him, "Wait, you remember, it's best if he is willing to submit, or he will be executed on the spot." ”

"The last general understands", Shu Xin rushed out of the door and chased after him.

Since Jingchen left the Prime Minister's Mansion, he drove all the way, not daring to stop, a half-day journey, without any rest, people were sleepy, and gradually slowed down, Li Zhirou asked Jingchen to stop and rest for a while before leaving. Jingchen stopped the carriage, helped Li Zhirou and Jing Xining down, and then fed the grain placed under the carriage to the horses, and went to the neighborhood to find some water.

Jingchen squatted in front of Jing Xining, touching his red face distressedly, very guilty, "Xining, it's not good for your father to flee with us at such a young age", Jingchen stood up, "Zhirou, it was I who caused your mother and son to be wronged." ”

Li Zhirou took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, looked at Jingchen who was sweating profusely in distress, and gently wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, "You and I husband and wife, why do you say this, this bit of suffering is nothing, what I am most afraid of is that our family of three will be separated." Li Zhirou's voice was as gentle as pity, and Jingchen's heart was filled with warmth.

Jingchen grabbed Li Zhirou's hand, "Zhirou, don't worry, I will definitely not let our family of three separate." ”

As he was talking, Jingchen suddenly looked into the distance, then let go of Li Zhirou, leaned on the ground and listened, and immediately got up, "It's not good, someone is chasing, get in the car with Xining." Jingchen began to tense his nerves again, threw away the water and food to feed the horses, got into the carriage, raised the whip, and hurried again.

Jingchen just walked not long ago, Shu Xin with a large group of cavalry chased up, although Jingchen's carriage was fast, but he had not been rested for a long time, and he was exhausted, and the horses that Shuxin's cavalry rode were all war horses, fat in size, and had been on the battlefield for a long time, both physical strength and speed were far more than Jingchen's carriage, Li Zhirou couldn't help but poke her head outside, and found that many Tang troops were chasing behind, and the chase was getting closer and closer, although nervous, but Jingchen was distracted and panicked, and he didn't say anything in his heart, just hugged Jing Xining tightly.

Jingchen felt someone chasing behind him, glanced back, and found that the Tang army had chased behind him, seeing that he couldn't run the Tang cavalry behind him, Jingchen bypassed a bend, grabbed the reins and stopped the carriage, jumped out of the carriage and said to Li Zhirou: "Zhirou, you quickly take Ning'er to the woods, remember not to come out, I'll drag them here." ”

Li Zhirou picked up Jing Xining and got out of the carriage, shook her head and cried: "I won't leave, no matter when we have to be together, I will never be separated from you." Jingchen was anxious when he heard this, and said: "The Tang army will catch up immediately, and we will all have to die when the time comes, Ning'er is still so young, it is the only bloodline of our Jing family, it is not a pity for me to die, but you must not have anything to do, Zhirou, you listen to me, you must raise Xining as an adult, go quickly!" Jingchen pushed Li Zhirou as he spoke, Jing Xining looked at them stupidly with his head up, Li Zhirou thought of Jing Xining, closed her eyes tightly, turned her heart sideways, glanced at Jingchen affectionately and sadly, and then took Jing Xining's little hand and ran towards the woods.

In the blink of an eye, Shu Xin had already arrived, Jingchen stood in front, Shu Xin jumped down with all the Tang troops, walked in front of Jingchen, looked carefully, and saw that he was fearless, full of anger, holding a knife in his left hand, his feet apart, awe-inspiring, coldly scanning himself and the Tang Jun behind him, and the corners of his mouth flashed a trace of contempt and said:" If my guess is right, you should be Jingchen, the son of Jingxiang, your ancestor Jinghui is the hero of the Shenlong coup, the pillar of the country, and he is also a loyal martyr, but I didn't expect that your father Jingxiang was willing to fall, followed by capriciousness, killing the king and usurping the throne, and the villain Zhu Wen, who is shameless for the people of the world, is really insulting to the family, I really don't know what he will look like after he goes to see your ancestors and ancestors now. ”

Jingchen's heart sank, "What did you just say?"

Shu Xin said: "Oh, yes, blame me, maybe you don't know that Jing Xiang is stubborn and has hanged himself and died." Shu Xin said lightly, as if careless, casually, treating human life as a mustard, Jingchen heard clearly, gritted his teeth, beat his chest, looked up to the sky and cried, his left hand held the scabbard, and his right hand clenched his fist.

Shu Xin saw it in his eyes, but he didn't care, and said to Jingchen: "I advise you not to be as obsessed as your father, and give your life in vain, hurry up and surrender, but spare your wife and children from dying." "Shu Xin thinks deeply, Jing Xiang is the founder of the Great Liang Dynasty, the important minister of the Three Dynasties, although he is dead, but if Jing Chen is willing to surrender, he can win the hearts of the people and break the morale of a few recalcitrant people.

Jingchen snorted and replied: "Since ancient times, loyal ministers have not been concerned with the two masters, and the eldest husband is dead when he dies, so why rap." ”

Shu Xin respects his loyalty, but in the troubled times, he would rather kill in vain, never let go, the kindness to the enemy is cruel to himself, he is convinced of his reason, seeing Jingchen look dead, there is no room for maneuver, so he no longer persuades, and said: "Since you insist on this, then I will fulfill you, let you respect the family and accompany Zhu Youzhen to the funeral." Shu Xin took a step back, and the Tang army behind him immediately slashed towards Jingchen. Jingchen slowly pulled the knife out of the scabbard, his angry eyes were full of murderous intent, threw the scabbard to the side, stepped on the carriage and jumped up, swinging the knife and slashing.

All of a sudden, the hatred of the country and the family all poured into Jing Chen's heart, he poured all his anger on this group of Tang soldiers, his hand raised his knife, blood splashed, and cut down more than a dozen Tang soldiers in a row, and the rest of the people hesitated, looking at each other, Jing Chen vigilantly looked around at every Tang soldier who was eyeing him, for the sake of Li Zhirou and Jing Xining behind him, he had to do his best to block the jackals, tigers and leopards in front of him, even if it was to pay for his own life.

Shu Xin showed contemptuous eyes, pulled out the knife out of the sheath, the blade reflected a red light, silently, strode through the crowd, quickly passed through the crowd, and slashed towards Jingchen, the knife was as fast as the wind, as fast as electricity, and the force was a thousand jun, like a raging fire erupting out, opening its bloody mouth and devouring the sky. Jingchen crossed the knife and was cut in two by Shu Xin, his body stood unsteadily, he took a few steps back, and before he came back to his senses, Shu Xin slashed three times in a row, simply decisively, without a trace of hesitation, for a moment, the surroundings were quiet and silent, and after a while, the sky was startled by the sound of geese, and then looked at Jingchen, blood came out of his mouth, and he fell to the ground suddenly, but there was no scar on his body.

"Dad, ... ・・", a child's cry instantly broke the silence, Shu Xin followed the prestige, it was Li Zhirou and Jing Xining's mother and son, it turned out that Li Zhirou couldn't rest assured that Jing Chen, so she didn't leave, just quietly hid in the forest, Fang Cai and Jing Xining witnessed everything that happened in front of them, Li Zhirou quickly covered Jing Xining's mouth, and led Jing Xining to the forest to escape for her life.

"Give me chase", Shu Xin led someone to chase after him, Li Zhirou panicked, holding Jing Xining for a while, and holding him for a while, walking through the forest, stumbling, scarred by branches and blades of grass, and running very slowly.

Shu Xin chased after him, but suddenly put down his footsteps, and slowly followed behind Li Zhirou, this orphan and widow, how could he not escape from Shu Xin's palm, Li Zhirou glanced back in a panic, a group of Tang soldiers behind him, in a hurry, tripped over the branch under his feet, and fell to the ground with Jing Xining, Jing Xining cried in pain. Li Zhirou endured the pain and continued to hold Jing Xining and ran forward desperately, and ran for a while, she was so tired that she couldn't lift her feet, and her hands were completely out of strength, she just took two steps forward, and hurriedly stepped on it, it turned out that she ran in the wrong direction in a panic, broke into the Jedi, and there was only a cliff under her feet, a bottomless abyss, and the chasing soldiers had arrived, Li Zhirou put Jing Xining down, looked at the cliff in despair, her face was pale, her heart was like ashes, she squatted on the ground and stared at Jing Xining, "Xining, do you miss your father? Jing Xining's tender face was covered with dust, and her body was full of scratches from the grass blades in the forest, crying and shouting: "Dad was killed by bad people, they are bad people", saying and pointing at Shu Xin who was slowly approaching with a small finger, Li Zhirou was heartbroken by Jing Xining's crying, and also shed tears, orphans and widows, poor and helpless, heartbreaking. Li Zhirou looked behind her, suddenly wiped away her tears, hugged Jing Xining, didn't look back, and resolutely jumped off the cliff. Shu Xin never expected that Li Zhirou would make such a decision in despair, she would rather die than give in, jumped down with her son in her arms, and hurriedly stepped forward, about to pull, but it was too late, looking at the bottomless abyss under her, she sighed, and then left gloomily.
