At the end of May of the 14th year of Zhengde, the scene of the capital was lush and the weather was myriad.

Jiang Bin, who became a new celebrity next to the emperor, received a secret report from his henchman, and couldn't help but crumple the paper in his hand and hold it tightly in his hand.

"Pass my order, spread the news, and be sure to let the emperor know within an hour. ”

The henchman replied, and then withdrew from the room, Jiang Bin's eyes showed a touch of ruthlessness, and he said to himself secretly: "What about King Ning, bribing that Qian Ning with a lot of money, but he didn't take me Jiang Bin in his eyes at all, hmph, Lao Tzu wants you to pay the price for no one in your eyes." Jiang Bin tore the secret report to shreds and threw it into the waste heap.

The news spread quickly, and officials of all sizes in the capital were discussing the matter in private. Yang Tinghe, who had left the court because of Ding Wei's system, returned to the court again because of the emperor's will, and when he heard the news, his expression was calm, but his heart set off waves.

Lord Shoufu had also accepted bribes from King Ning, but he never expected that the vassal king would be so bold and ambitious. Yang Tinghe decided to preemptively calm him down before things got bigger.

When the official panicked and went to report the news to Emperor Zhu Houzhao, the emperor showed a playful smile. Naturally, he learned this news earlier than these courtiers, and he could choose not to move, that is, he was waiting for the minister's attitude.

The Ouchi secret agent sent out before did not come back within the specified time, and Zhu Houzhao vaguely felt the seriousness of the matter. The emperor summoned several high-ranking officials to discuss, and Liang Chu and others advocated mobilizing troops to crusade, but Yang Tinghe had the opposite opinion, advocating that someone should be sent to negotiate first.

So the emperor sent someone to remind King Ning, asking him not to tell the matter and turn the crisis into an invisible one. However, the officials sent did not know how to talk, and the news was leaked in three sentences, and the smile of King Ning at the banquet disappeared, and he hastily perfunctory the visitor, so he went to the inner hall with several henchmen to discuss countermeasures.

Military advisor Liu Yangzheng pretended to be calm and said: "The matter is urgent, there is no delay, the imperial court sent people at this critical time, the plan has been revealed, if you don't do it, it will be fish and meat!"

Yang Tinghe's intention to make a big deal small and calm down the intention of fighting a war turned into a dead chess game because of the officials who were not good at talking and Liu Yangzheng, who was not good at judgment.

On June 14, the 14th year of Zhengde, the governor's yamen received the invitation, and the big and small officials looked at each other, Sun Sui waved his hand, and said: "The matter has come to this, like an arrow on the string, it has to be sent, are you timid?"

Everyone was speechless, lowered their heads, Sun Sui sighed helplessly, walked ahead of everyone first, and boarded the carriage. The officials who came to King Ning's Mansion, although they had been prepared, could not help but be shocked. Hundreds of soldiers in armor and armed with sharp blades, with goshawk-like eyes, stared at them coldly.

At the banquet, King Ning pretended to sigh bitterly and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this king is celebrating his birthday today, but he is not willing to eat and worried. ”

Liu Yangzheng lost no time in taking over the conversation and asked, "Why is the prince anxious?"

"When today's son is not the son of the first emperor, inheriting the unification, it is really not right, and his words are not good. ”

As soon as these words came out, one of the officials present was like being hit by five thunderbolts.

King Ning continued: "Fortunately, the Queen Mother Shengming has a clear understanding of everything, and it is rumored that the king will crusade against the faint king of unknown origin. ”

Sun Sui knew that he would die, but he still stood up suddenly with a fearless attitude, and said loudly: "Where is the Empress Dowager's edict?"

Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, said coldly: "The Empress Dowager Yi is aiming for Nanjing, and this king will rush to Nanjing from now on, and your lord can go with me." ”

Sun Sui said angrily: "As a vassal king, you actually have the intention of rebellion, and you are trying to pull me into the water, you are daydreaming." ”

After Governor Sun finished speaking, he immediately ran towards the door, and one of the guards knocked him down with a single palm, and dragged him back. Zhu Chenhao walked up to Sun Sui, stepped on his chest, and sneered: "Since adults don't know how to lift, it is inconvenient for this king to be strong." ”

Seeing King Ning treat the court officials like this, Xu Kui, the deputy envoy of the inspection, stepped forward and scolded Zhu Chenhao for being unpopular and would definitely die.

Zhu Chenhao waved his hand disapprovingly, and said, "Behead these two people to show the public, and correct the law." The guards escorted Sun Sui and Xu Kui away, and even though Sun Sui was tied up with a rope, he still cursed endlessly, and finally was taken outside the Huimin Gate, where the executioner had prepared a butcher's knife.

Sun Sui asked Xu Kui: "Sun is not inclined to be inflammatory, but he has affected Brother Xu." ”

Xu Kui replied solemnly: "It is the duty of a courtier to sacrifice his life for the country, why did your lord say this?"

Sun Sui smiled, he faced the direction in which Wang Shouren disappeared a few days ago, gritted his teeth and said, "Bo'an, it is all up to you to fight for the country." ”

The executioner raised his knife and fell, and the two heads fell to the ground, and when King Ning saw the two heads, he strengthened his determination to rebel, and the officials were already so frightened that their faces were bloodless and paralyzed to the ground.

King Ning quickly sent troops to occupy the governor's yamen and took over all the defenses in Nanchang City, Liu Yangzheng was just about to ask for the next plan of action, Zhu Chenhao waved his hand to stop him, and said: "The killer sent out to hunt down Wang Shouren, did you succeed?"

"The six hall masters of the Dark Pavilion personally dispatched and led the three hundred disciples to chase and kill day and night, forgive him Wang Shouren has three heads and six arms, and he will also be chopped into meat sauce. ”

"The king did not see his head for a day, so he could not sleep, and sent more men to slay him. ”

"Yes. Liu Yangzheng took the order and left, but he couldn't figure it out in his heart, didn't Wang Shouren give birth to wings and fly away?

Otherwise, how did he hide from such a tight guard, and how did he escape from the pursuit?

Liu Yangzheng ordered a cavalry team to pursue him along the land route, and although he concluded that Wang Shouren would flee by the waterway, he was a little shaken by the fact that nothing had been found along the waterway these days.

Wang Shouren walked along the waterway to Fengcheng, and unsurprisingly learned the news of King Ning's rebellion, and learned that Sun Sui and Xu Kui had been beheaded, Wang Shouren showed a sad look on his face.

The two entourages were no longer calm, Wang Shouren was so smart, he noticed the similarity between the two, and said: "Stop the boat and dock immediately, I want to change the route." ”

After the entourage stopped the boat, they followed him ashore. Wang Shouren did not go to the Yamen, but made several detours, and after making sure that he had completely gotten rid of the two dissenting retinues, he went back to the river, found another small boat, and continued to advance by water.

Even if the two of them are not greedy for glory and wealth and sell themselves, but in their faces, Wang Shouren can see that they are greedy for life and afraid of death, and sooner or later they will assassinate themselves in order to save their lives and hand them over to King Ning. So Wang Shouren got rid of these two potential dangers before they could make a move.

The pursuers will surely learn of his change to the land route from two of his retinues, so that he can avoid the blockade of the waterway. However, Wang Shouren did not take it lightly, because the dark pavilion was like a cone of tarsal bones, which was difficult to get rid of.

Wang Shouren clenched the flag in his hand, looked up at the sky, took a long breath, and sighed: "Lord Sun, Lord Xu, you have a spirit in the sky, please bless me to escape from the pursuit and killing, send troops to rebel as soon as possible, and avenge you." ”

After saying a word, more than a dozen black figures flew over the not wide water, holding Senhan's blade in their hands, and slashed straight towards his boat.
