"How could this happen?" Huangfu Fu thought sadly, "How come a good friend who was so lively and energetic one moment was beheaded the next moment and died with his eyes open."
Viewed from his perspective , Pei Zheng's eyes were staring at him, full of confusion.
"Ugh." Huangfu Fu suddenly felt his stomach churning. He quickly grabbed his horse and walked towards the city gate together. Behind him were the majestic and mighty central army officers and soldiers, who also filed in neatly behind Huangfu Fu.
Guo Mo and Zhang Bu were standing respectfully inside the city gate to welcome the prince of Zhao.
Many years later, Guo Mo was already the governor of Jiangzhou in the south. During a mutiny, someone around him asked him, "Master Shijun, do you regret that you killed Master Pei, the captain of the city gate?" "
Guo Moran said calmly for a long time, "I don't regret killing Pei Zheng, I only regret not killing Zhang Bu first, a man without a king and a father."
At this moment, Guo Mo seemed to be standing there respectfully, but he was extremely uneasy inside. Since ancient times, any chief officer has valued the loyalty of his subordinates and despised those who betrayed their master. Guo Mo confessed in his heart that by beheading Pei Zheng this time, he was the betrayer in everyone's eyes. He was the twenty-five-year-old boy with the bone on the back of his head that everyone despised.
"I did not betray my master." Guo Mo defended himself in his heart, "My master is the former Taifu Yang Jun, Pei Zheng is not my master."
Even if Yang On the night when Jun was executed, Pei Zheng was among the men who came to capture Yang Jun, but Guo Mo had never resented Pei Zheng. That night, while Yang Jun was hesitating, Pei Zheng quickly commanded his troops to occupy the land surrounding Taifu's Mansion. Because Zhou Lin came down, thousands of arrows were fired. Although there were many monks in the Taifu Mansion, under this situation, there was really no power to fight back. Within a moment, after the dozen or so monks who rushed out risking their lives were instantly shot and killed, they all turned into birds and beasts and fled in all directions.
Guo Mo was one of the first few monks to rush out. He held the big knife wheel in his hand like an electric fan, but he still couldn't stop the random arrows shooting from all directions. In just an instant, he was hit by five or six arrows and fell to the ground unwillingly. But he was lucky enough to survive in the end.
Not only did he not resent Pei Zheng on weekdays, he was actually grateful to Pei Zheng after he was forced to escape from his captivity. Pei Zheng valued him very much. Not only did he often take him with him, he also sent him various daily necessities during New Years and holidays.
"I killed Pei Zheng not because of personal grudges. I killed him for the sake of the court and justice." Guo Mo continued to defend himself in his heart.
The hearts of the people in Shangluo are devoted to the prince, and the city gate cannot be defended after all. If you, Pei, don't open the city gate for a whole day, my brothers, Guo Mo and Hou San, will risk having their heads chopped off.
Thinking about this, Guo Mo's mood slowly calmed down.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Pei." GuoMo said silently in his heart, "If we can meet again in the next life, I hope you can return this knife to Guo Mo. Guo Mo will never resist."
Huangfu Fu looked at him standing respectfully with a complicated expression. Guo Mo and Zhang Bu greeted him there. He really wanted to shout at him and pull down the betrayer and kill him.
But he knew he must not say these words.
Qi can be inflated but not vented.
"Who took down the city gate?" Huangfu Fuju asked majestically.
"Hui Shizi, it was Zhang Bu who took down the city gate with me." Guo Mo took a peek at Huangfu Fu, who was on horseback and wearing exquisite armor, and bent down to answer.
"Okay, Zhang Changshi, take note of these two righteous men who have worked tirelessly. When today's matter is over, we will make them marquis immediately."
"Yes, Crown Prince."
Guo Mo and Zhang Bu were overjoyed when they heard this. They could get the title they dreamed of. At this moment, Guo Mo no longer had the mentality of worrying about gains and losses, and he no longer had the mentality of feeling sorry for Pei Zheng. Zhang Bu also seemed to not feel the pain in his thighs and the back of his head for an instant.
How many monks struggle throughout their lives, just for the two major goals of wearing a purple belt and making meritorious services.
How many famous ministers in history were so talented and clever
But in the end they never got a marquis. In ancient history, in the pre-Shang Dynasty, there were two famous figures who left a famous allusion, namely Li Guang Nan Feng and Feng Tang Yi Lao.
If General Li were to meet the Emperor of Zhou, ten thousand marquises would be insignificant.
If everyone hadn't been in front of them, Guo Mo and Zhang Bu would have laughed loudly. Just like that, the two people who were fighting for life and death a moment ago looked at each other and saw uncontrollable ecstasy in each other's eyes.
"The little man kowtows to thank the prince for his grace." Guo Mo and Zhang Bu were overjoyed and immediately knelt down and kowtowed in thanks.
Everything in the world is so bizarre.
"Drive." After Huangfu Fu finished speaking, he glanced at the two people kneeling on the ground and kowtowed with disdain, then turned away, clamped the horse's belly, raised the exquisite riding crop held in his right hand, and moved forward. Pointing his finger, he shouted loudly, "Advance the troops at Yunlongmen."
"Advance the troops at Yunlongmen." Tens of thousands of leading soldiers followed in unison and shouted in unison, which only shook the tiles on the houses on the streets of Shangluo. There was a lot of noise.
For a while, countless Shangluo monks stood on both sides of the street and cheered at Huangfu Fu and others, or ran to report. Many monks even held long swords and couldn't wait to follow the leader of the army. The people at the back of the team walked towards the Yunlong Gate of the Imperial Palace with excitement on their faces.
In the face of this kind of military appearance, no one dares to resist, and no one can resist.
"Brother Guo," Zhang Bu looked at the retreating team, turned to Guo Mo and said, "Will you follow me?"
"What you have gained today has exceeded As expected." Guo Mo relaxed completely at this moment and said with a big smile, "Brother Zhang was injured in the previous fight, and there happened to be some wine brought by Brother Zhang.For meat, it is better to choose a different day than to hit the sun, so Guo Mo borrowed flowers and offered them to Buddha at Wanchun Gate, served Brother Zhang with wine to apologize, and hoped that Brother Zhang would give him some face. "
"Hahahaha," Zhang Bu laughed heartily, "You and I really don't know each other. It is Zhang Bu's dream to be able to make friends with such a heroic figure as Brother Guo. Come on, let's go have a drink together. Let them take care of the palace matters. ”
Sikong Zhang Hua has been anxious since last night.
Among the three princes, Queen Jia Zhi trusts and relies on Sikong Zhang Hua the most, because Zhang Hua came from a poor family. Because the Zhang family is very small, except for Zhang Hua, there is no one worthy of praise. Unlike the Jinyang Wang family, even without Wang Rong and Wang Yan, there are still so many outstanding children. This is a wealthy family. It is the foundation and depth of the family.
Zhang Hua is a native of Fanyang, Youzhou. He has been a famous local prodigy since he was less than ten years old. After just a few words of conversation, Ruan Ji, the most famous grandmaster in the world, asserted that this son would definitely become the next first-class grandmaster in the future.
After Ruan Ji’s comments like this, Not only was the whole of Fan Yang shocked, but the name Zhang Hua spread throughout Youzhou overnight.
Facts later proved that the reason why Xing Ruan Ji was the most famous grandmaster in the world was not only that. The reason why the Chenliu Ruan family can become one of the eight most powerful families in the world is because of Ruan Ji before Wang Rong and Wang Yan. The Wang family has two masters, Ruan Ji and his nephew Ruan Xian. Of course, the royal family of Hanoi is not included in this list.
Wang Rong, a disciple of the Jin Dynasty, is not as famous as he is. Ruan Ji back then. He was the youngest among the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest and the last one in the ranking.
Although Wang Rong had already been a powerful person in the Zhou Dynasty, his disciples and old officials were all over the country. Jin, there are countless monks who have received his favor, but what Wang Rong likes most in his daily life is not to sit in the Situ Office and discuss matters, but to ride a donkey and wear the most ordinary Luo. Wear civilian clothes and go to a remote and quiet wine shop outside Shangluo City to have a drink and reflect.
Wang Rong once brought the young Wang Tianci here and said this to Wang Tianci. What he said in his heart: "I used to have a hearty drink here with Ji Shuye and Ruan Sizong. A trip to the bamboo forest also predicts the end. Since the death of Ji Shengyao and Duke Ruan, he has been under the control of the times. Today, although it is close, it is as distant as a mountain or a river. Godsend, you know, Grandpa, I am jealous of Ji Shuye and Ruan Sizong from the bottom of my heart. Grandpa’s biggest mistake in his life was to enter the political arena. Tired by time
Tired by time. ”
This is not the case with Sikong Zhang Hua. Zhang Hua has been able to reach this day and hold the position of one of the Three Officials that everyone in the world looks up to, entirely because of his ability and talent. Wang Rong is also extremely smart and capable, and He has extraordinary vision. But Wang Rong is too reclusive, but Zhang Hua is very diligent and conscientious.
He was highly used by Emperor Wu of Jin very early, whether it was for temple plotting or moving.In Zhenfang Yue, Zhang Hua repeatedly performed extraordinary feats, and his actions were praised by everyone. After the death of Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty, Empress Jia believed that Zhang Hua was neither important in the family nor expected to be on the right side of the ministers, so she made Zhang Hua Sikong, becoming one of the three most envied monks in the world. He is the minister whom Empress Jia most trusts and relies on. In Empress Jia's heart, his status is far superior to that of Zhao Wang Huangfulun, Shen Xiu and others. Queen Jia has been a very smart woman since she was a child. She is not stupid. She knows that the thoughts of people like Shen Xiu are too elusive. At that time, the prince Huangfu Yu was deposed for a while because of that letter. Originally, Empress Jia insisted on the death of Huangfu Yu at that time. That is to say, Zhang Hua tried his best to quote from other sources, and finally saved Huangfu Yu's life, but only deposed him as a concubine. people.
Precisely because he was the most trusted by Empress Jia, he not only served as Sikong, but also took charge of the affairs of the ministers. He and Empress Jia's uncle, the second-rank purple-robed monk Shangshuling Pei Wei of the Hedong Pei family, can be said to be the actual controllers of the court's political affairs, but their reputation is not as good as that of the two three princes of the Jinyang Wang family.
Before Shen Xiu summoned Zhang Bu, he first visited Zhang Hua.
"Mr. Zhang," Shen Xiu said straight to the point without even exchanging pleasantries, "The matter is urgent, and I came here to ask Mr. Zhang for something."
"Mr. Shen came late at night. What's going on?" Zhang Hua frowned.
"His Royal Highness King Zhao hopes that Duke Zhang will allow His Highness King Zhao to take charge of the affairs of the ministers."
Zhang Hua's face turned cold and said sternly, "King Zhao wants to cause trouble. Is it such an inappropriate thing to do?" How can I raise my request?"
Shen Xiu saw that Tangtang Sikong's voice was stern and his expression showed no fluctuation. He sneered and said, "Mr. Zhang, it is not His Highness King Zhao who is causing trouble, but the inner palace. "The queen inside."
"The affairs of the Tianjia are the affairs of their Tianjia. It's still peaceful in Shangluo and Jin Dynasty. Xiao Shen, please listen to my old man's good advice. The top priority is to be quiet. As long as this storm has passed, the Jin Dynasty will still bloom. Don't make trouble, and don't add fuel to the flames." Shen Xiu shook his head and talked eloquently: "First, Empress Jia killed the emperor's grandfather Yang Jun without the courtesy of a aunt and daughter-in-law, and then starved to death the Queen Mother Yang Min. At this time, was it Taifu Yang who wanted to be quiet and wanted to act, or Empress Jia wanted to be quiet and want to act and then... The design drove the King of Chu to kill the King of Runan, and then asked the Huangmen to tell the soldiers that the King of Chu was false, and then killed the King of Chu. At this moment, who wanted to be quiet and who wanted to move, including this time Empress Jia killed the prince. , if the prince really wants to depose the queen, even the ten queens will have been deposed. People have no intention of hurting the tiger, but the tiger can eat people's hearts. If the queen is not deposed, everyone in the clan will be uneasy."
< p> "Queen Jia, a woman, only wants her son to become a prince, so there is no reason why everyone in the clan is uneasy.""People's ambitions will grow slowly." Shen Xiu He said again, "The key is that Empress Jia is so tyrannical. Shouldn't she be deposed? If a person makes a mistake, he should be punished. Otherwise, he will be encouraged to continue making mistakes. The prince's virtuous behavior is known to everyone in the world. The emperor's benevolence and filial piety are also known to everyone in the world." But what happened to the prince Renxiao? The cruel JiaIf she continues to sit in the position of queen, how will the moral values of the people in the world change? How will the world's hearts change. Those who want to cause trouble and make mistakes will not be punished, but those who are benevolent and filial will suffer misfortune. Zhang Gong and the three Dukes of the imperial court assist the emperor in governing the world, and the most important thing in the world is the word "fenghua". If everyone in the world imitates Empress Jia, and no one wants to be a good person like the prince, how can the world function, and how chaotic the world will be. As long as the king of Zhao can record the affairs of the minister and re-establish Huangfu Zang, the son of the commoner Huangfu Yu, as the emperor's grandson, and depose the empress Jia, it is nothing more than a matter for two Huangmen eunuchs. "
"But the queen is the mother and the leader of a country. She is the Lord and we are the ministers. Lord, king, minister, father, father, son. Today the queen can be deposed, and the day after tomorrow the emperor can be deposed, and the day after tomorrow the father and son can kill each other. Mr. Shen, if you have different opinions, you will not agree with each other. No matter how eloquent you are, there is no way I will agree to let King Zhao record the affairs of the minister. ”
“Mr. Zhang, the arrow has to be fired when it is on the string. Shen Xiu's face turned cold and her tone turned cold,
"If Mr. Zhang doesn't help His Royal Highness King Zhao today, he will only help the empress. I hope Mr. Zhang will think twice before acting." "
"How dare Shuzi do this?" Zhang Hua was furious when he heard Shen Xiu's words and said, "As long as I, Zhang Hua, am still alive, I will not tolerate you making such a rebellion. "
"Humph. Mr. Zhang, if something happens to you someday, don't blame me, Shen Xiu, for not informing you in advance. "Shen Xiu suddenly stood up, took a deep look at Zhang Hua, then said nothing, turned around and left with a flutter of sleeves.
"Pa" Zhang Hua dropped a tea cup on the ground hard and saw Looking at Shen Xiu's back, he said angrily, "This Langya official is really going to cause trouble to the imperial court. I only regret that I didn't kill him back then, and even caused trouble to this day." ", please remember:, free fastest update, no anti-theft, no anti-theft
