The world of bad people is invincible

Chapter 353
Tanzhou.

It has been more than seven days since Ma Xisheng ascended the throne of Chu King.

During this period, Concubine Yuan De in the palace sent out a decree, which said: "It was difficult for the first king to start a business, and the middle way passed away."Unfortunately, the heir Wang Xiyue died early, and the second son Xisheng was appointed in turn. The generals are many former kings and former ministers, and they should be worthy of the Ma family. If they are good at mentoring, I have high hopes!

Therefore, Ma Xisheng sat firmly on the throne of Chu King.

However, although the new king has ascended the throne, the situation in Tanzhou is still turbulent, and everyone is in danger.

I don't know when it started, there was a rumor in the city of Tanzhou that the Ma family of the state of Chu was supposed to be captured by Gao Yu.

Like Xu Dexun, Gao Yu is also an important minister of the Chu State, and an old subordinate of the former Chu King Ma Yin.

But such an important minister of Chu State is now sitting on pins and needles, in a critical situation.

Because the new king of Chu, Ma Xisheng, has become suspicious.He has issued an edict to seize Gao Yu's military handle and move him to the left as marching Sima.

Regarding this, Gao Yu had no choice but to say angrily in private: "The Ma family's son of a bitch has grown up and can bite people! I will return to Lao Xishan, so that I will not be eaten!"

However, these few words were heard by Ma Xisheng for some reason.He immediately issued an edict to kill Gao Yu and his clan party.

Such an absurd matter caused the people of Chu to discuss it secretly.

Although Gao Yu's words were a little disrespectful, he was Ma Yin's old subordinate after all, and he was also a hero who made great contributions to the state of Chu.

Now that a few words have led to death, and have affected the clan party, this shows the cruelty of Ma Xisheng.

Of course, that's just one of the weird things that happen these days.

Another strange thing is that Ma Xisheng, the king of Chu, inherited his father's position, reported to the Tang court, and bestowed a posthumous title on Ma Yin, the former king of Chu.

The so-called Tang Ting is naturally the Tang Ting of Tang Emperor Li Xingyun.

It is said that after Ma Xisheng's envoy entered Tang Ting, he never saw Li Xingyun at all.

Tang Ting Emperor Li Xingyun was not in the court all day, so several ministers discussed this matter in private.

Under the discussion of several ministers, the Tang court believed that Ma Yin was both high-ranking officials and no one could force him to give him the posthumous posthumous title of Wu Mu, and granted Ma Xisheng the military envoy of Wu'an and Jingjiang.

As soon as the news came out, the whole country of Chu was in a state of excitement.

Not jubilation, but boiling.

There are roughly three reasons for boiling.

The first point is because the Chu State is a big country, but it has to serve a small country, which is really unreasonable logically.

This situation is somewhat similar to the fact that the great powers in the Central Plains were dominated by countries such as Goguryeo and Fusang.

The second point is because of Ma Xisheng's treachery.

You must know that although Ma Yin was appointed by Tang Zhaozong to stay in the Wu'an army, his position as the king of Chu was actually conferred by the former Liang emperor Zhu Wen.When Zhu Wen proclaimed himself emperor, Ma Yin sent envoys to pay tribute, and was appointed by Zhu Wen as Liang Guoshizhong and Zhongshuling, and King of Chu.

It can be seen from this that Ma Yin and Tang Guo, who claimed to inherit the Tang Dynasty Guozuo, were feuds.

Ma Yinke never regarded Tang as Zhengshuo.Ma Xisheng's actions directly made his late father Ma Yin a traitor.

As for the third point, Li Xingyun refused to meet the Chu envoys.

At this time, Chu was a big country, and Tang was a small country. The envoys of the big country came to the small country, but they were not received. Chu had already lost face.

Facing the gossip outside, the palace of King Chu was peaceful.

King Chu 'Ma Xisheng' has recently become obsessed with eating chicken.

He kills fifty chickens a day for meals.

Even though he is currently in mourning, Ma Xisheng cooks chicken as before.

Ma Yin, Mu Wang of Chu Wu, was buried in Hengyang, and was about to go to the funeral, but Ma Xisheng ate several plates of chicken soup, and there was no mercy.

It's as if the dead father didn't exist.

Seeing Ma Xisheng's arrogance and extravagance to such an extent, and his misbehavior to such a state, all the civil and military officials of Chu State were extremely disappointed in him.

It seems that the ministers of the state of Chu are not optimistic about the future and destiny of the second king of Chu.

At this time, most of the meritorious veterans who followed Ma Yin to fight for the country and found the country have passed away. In addition to the fresh case of Gao Yu being unjustly killed, it seems that the remaining ministers do not want to provoke Ma Xisheng, who has a bad personality. , As a result, the court was silent, and no one came to speak.

However, there are still loyal people in such a huge imperial court.

Seeing Ma Xisheng's unfilial and absurd behavior, Pan Qi, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, couldn't help but sarcastically said: "In the past, Ruan Ji lived in mourning and steamed dolphin, how can there be no virtuous people!"

Ma Xisheng was baffled by this, he didn't know if he was being sarcastic, but he also said that it was a compliment, cooking chicken was the same.

……

Ma Xisheng in Chu Palace is naturally fake, but the real Ma Xisheng is actually here with Li Cunxu.

With Ma Xisheng, he is now heading towards Langzhou.

In fact, Li Cunxu has also heard about the absurd things that came out of Tanzhou.

In his opinion, this matter is actually quite normal.

Behind all this, there are two words: stealing the country.

Qin lost his deer, and the world chased it.

Only by making Ma Xisheng's reputation in Chu State worse and unpopular, can Tang State have more reason to annex Chu State.

But it doesn't matter.

Qin lost its deer, and the whole world pursued it, so those with high talents and fast feet got it first.

What he wants to do is actually to be that talented and fast-footed person.

In today's troubled times, high-talented and quick-footed people are not only talents with outstanding talents, but more like soldiers with strong horses and strong horses!
What Li Cunxu wants to do now is actually seeking the country.

Use Ma Xifan's soldiers, gold and iron horses and roaring artillery fire to win the Chu State!

It's a risky game, but one with big rewards.

……

Under the gloomy sky, Bianzhou is still prosperous.

As the capital of emperors, Bianzhou has not declined after two dynasties.

The troubles caused by the replacement of the old master and the change of dynasties seem to have been completely cleaned up.

The buildings in the palace are resplendent and resplendent, with pavilions and pavilions standing among them, showing a royal style.

A lot of time has passed since Li Keyong ascended the throne as emperor, and the new Jin Dynasty has completely wiped out the old shadow of the Liang Dynasty.And the people under its rule come and go, shoulder to shoulder, and seem to have forgotten the past.

Li Keyong was sitting in front of the Longshu table, with a rare smile on his face, he looked at all the nobles in the hall, and said: "Now the Khitan in the north is not to be feared, but there are still disobedient ministers in the south of the Central Plains, you may have a wise opinion. "

None of the ministers spoke.

Wang Pu went up to pay homage and said: "In the past Tang Dynasty lost its way and lost Wu and Shu. Today, I am thinking about returning. I will raise them if the warehouses are solid, the utensils are ready, and the people are available. The land of Wu and Shu can be flattened."

The voice fell, and the hall was silent.

Li Keyong obviously didn't expect this young man to be so bold, so he immediately looked over.

Wang Pu lowered his head slightly, his eyes were not afraid, but he did not lose the courtesy of a monarch and minister, standing there as firmly as Mount Tai.

"What do you see, Qing?" Li Keyong looked at the officials in the palace.

Several ministers spoke, but they were all vague and did not express their opinions easily.

"Zhenyuan, what do you think?" Li Ke looked calmly at Zhou Dewei who was standing still.

"The Kingdom of Tang and the Kingdom of Shu are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and our dynasty is newly established. It is better to rest and recuperate, and then look for opportunities to fight." Zhou Dewei bowed.

"Aiqing's words are reasonable." Li Keyong smiled and said comfortingly: "Zhenyuan, you can really be called my thigh!"

After Li Keyong finished speaking, Wang Pu's eyes suddenly straightened, and his originally serious face also slightly changed.

The words used by Li Ke have revealed that his intentions are at odds with his own.

"All the ministers in the court are capable ministers and strong generals, what the ministers say is nothing but foolish opinion." Zhou Dewei bowed again.

"Ai Qing is too modest."

Li Keyong first praised Zhou Dewei, then glanced at Wang Pu, and found that the latter was a little lost, but he didn't show it too much on his face.

He waved to the eunuch behind him.

"Your Majesty." Li Ke approached him with the eunuch behind him, leaned over and said softly.

"Call Wang Pu over after the next court."

Li Ke gave instructions in a low voice, then looked at the officials in the hall, and said, "Since today's discussion has been finalized, there is nothing to do in the court, and all the ministers can return to the court."

As soon as the emperor issued an order, all the officials retreated and left the Zichen Hall, including Wang Pu who had a somewhat gloomy face.

"Master Wang."

After coming down to court, an eunuch sneaked up to Wang Pu in a trance and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, please."

"His Majesty?"

Wang Pu was taken aback for a moment, then his expression became normal, and he went to the Chuigong Hall with the eunuch.
