Records of the King of Xin'an County

All the high-ranking officials in the purple suit stood on the city wall, seemingly indifferent, unmoved by the words against the king, but in fact, I don't know how many of them have already had a huge wave in their hearts.The vast majority of people smiled wryly in their hearts: They finally had the opportunity to follow Qin An and others to climb the city wall, check the rebels' layout to discuss countermeasures, and calm people's hearts. Knowing what "secret matter" has been involved in another storm for no reason! !

There are also quite a few officials who claim to be upright, their eyes suddenly lit up when they heard the words, and they secretly geared up.In any case, the news that Ni Wang said must have its value!What are their responsibilities?Impeachment!The more powerful the object of impeachment, the more they can show their defiance of power!What is the rebellious king?Conspiracy and raising troops and discussing crimes are a certainty, so what else can be done? !Only a mistake between King Jing and Prince Xin'an is the big news that can shock both inside and outside the court! !

On the other hand, King Jing and Prince Xin'an, who were involved, were still calm.Both of them noticed the "coveted" eyes of some officials, and they only glanced at them lightly, then looked away.If you only look at their reactions, it seems that what Ni Wang said has nothing to do with them, it is extremely calm.

"The determination of the two of you is really admirable to me." Of course, Duke Jiangxia couldn't see their expressions, but seeing that everyone had no reaction, he laughed and tried his best to provoke, "Haha!! It's just I don’t know, if I tell you about the good deeds you have done, can you still be so calm?!”

"Our concentration is naturally not as thick as the face of the king of Jiangxia, and it is as thick as the city wall of Chang'an." Li Hui raised the corners of his lips and replied loudly, "But I need to share all the good things you have done with everyone. Say it again? Your Excellency’s experience must be much more exciting than that of everyone here, and even compared with the traitor Li Chen (Hejian County King). Counting up, your father was born before your Excellency was born. Is he plotting something wrong? But he really inherited his father's business and is very filial."

"Tsk, you and I are just laughing at fifty steps." Prince Jiang Xia laughed, "What did His Royal Highness Prince Pu do back then, do you need me to say more? As for Prince Xin'an, you seem to be loyal. Geng Geng, you have won the favor of the saint all these years, but you don't know what you have done behind your back!"

"I can probably guess what you want to say." Li Hui smiled slightly, and out of the corner of his eyes, he glanced at the several officials who were ready to move, "Why don't I say it for you? It's nothing more than you just discovered that my princess There are hundreds of soldiers hidden in the hot spring village of my natal family, which obviously proves that I have evil intentions. Heh, I would like to ask, have you captured that hot spring village so far? Open your mouth and talk nonsense, you really have a thick skin Unusual."

Without waiting for Prince Jiangxia to answer, he said with a smile that was not a smile: "Besides, you pretend that I don't know who sold this Zhuangzi to the Du family for a mere two hundred yuan at the beginning? Who hid the soldiers in the secret path and wanted to frame me? Before answering, you might as well ask your subordinates, have those small men you sent out to frame me, have they ever returned?"

Speaking of this, the king of Xin'an County paused, and said meaningfully: "I have been waiting for a long time, so you don't have to worry about me."

Prince Jiangxia's face changed slightly, and he ordered a few words to his cronies, and continued: "Put all the blame on me, as expected of the person who once stayed in Dali Temple. Well, now you can justify yourself Sin, in the future, I hope you can also make such a high-sounding sophistry in front of the third division."

"Thinking about it, you have already fallen into the endless hell at that time, and you should redeem your sins and wait for your reincarnation as soon as possible, so I don't bother you to worry about me." Prince Xin'an replied with a smile.

The Prince of Jiangxia immediately turned pale - he didn't know that before he entered Beijing, this clan brother had already become famous in the court.When it comes to verbal skills, the public officials who are more powerful in combat are not inferior.What's more, he cooperates perfectly with the sage, singing together, crying and hugging, he can almost sweep away all court officials.

It wasn't until this time that many officials seemed to suddenly remember what kind of existence this county king was, and whether he could be provoked.That's all, even the thick-skinned Jiangxia County King bowed down. How dare they easily offend this much-loved clan and county king with no proof?If he attacked indiscriminately, he could ruin their future with just a few casual words from him, so why bother?

Xu felt that the attack just now was not going well, so the Prince of Jiangxia changed his target again: "Heh, can the grandfather of the Jing family be as eloquent as the younger brother?"

"I can guess what you want to say this time." Li Hui smiled again, "Seeing that I couldn't be framed, so I chose my uncle instead? What can you say? It's nothing more than my uncle. Colluding with the rebels and the like. Really ridiculous! If it wasn’t fabricated, how would you know when, where, and what your uncle and uncle colluded with the rebels and what they did?! Could it be that you just lurked by the side and listened? Or, with the rebels You were the one who hooked up with Li Chen?! With a fluttering opening of your mouth, you empty-mouthedly pushed all the good deeds you have done to your uncle?!"

"My brother's statement is wrong. Of course I have some witnesses and physical evidence." Jiangxia Jun Wang said, bowing his head and giving a few words.

Not long after, someone brought a young man who was so thin that he seemed to collapse in the wind—the son of a traitor, Li Ren, who has now been deposed as a commoner.I saw him standing beside Jiangxia Junwang's horse with a pale face, with inexplicable complex emotions in his perennial gloomy expression, as if resentment, despair, and even more disheartened.

"Uncle, hasn't Li Ren been imprisoned in Zongzheng Temple?" Zongzheng Shaoqing who was standing on the city wall hurriedly asked.

Zong Zhengqing replied with a stern face: "Some time ago he was ill, and it was not convenient to recuperate in Zongzheng Temple, so I placed him in a remote Taoist temple and let the Taoist doctor in the temple take care of him. Unexpectedly, Jiang Xia Ni The thief was able to find him, and brought him out of Chang'an City without knowing it!!"

"..." Li Hui was speechless for a while.A son of a traitor like Li Ren can only survive smoothly if he surrenders to the court and obeys the arrangements in everything.However, Jiangxia County King's move was for his own selfishness, pushing him to the brink of life and death again.At this moment, he couldn't help sympathizing with this young man who was ruthlessly abandoned by his parents and then betrayed by the so-called "the best person in the world".

"Li Ren, the son of the traitor, has personally heard about the connection between King Ni and King Jing. With his testimony, what else can the grandfather say?" Jiangxia County King bowed his head gently, "Aren, what do you think is true? Neither?"

Li Ren raised his eyes, looked at him coldly, and suddenly broke into a smile: "...Yes, you are very right. I not only heard that my father had a relationship with King Jing, but also heard that my father had a relationship with King Lu, King Yue, King Pu, King Goulian of Yong’an County—by the way, there are also Dukes Wu, Duke Jian, and Duke E!! Do you really want to hear such an answer?! Hahaha!! Liar! Crazy! Rebel! The most shameless in the world The bastard!!"

Duke Jiangxia's expression distorted for a moment, he swung his horsewhip and lashed at him fiercely, then he pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist unrepentantly, raised it high and slashed down.However, Li Ren did not sit still and waited to die, but ran towards Chang'an City with almost all his strength, followed by the rebels' arrow rain.

The emaciated young man fell into a pool of blood, seemingly dying.King Jing sighed, turned away his eyes with impatience, and looked at Qin An and Li Hui.Seeing that the two of them remained calm, he ordered his soldiers to open the city gate and bring the child in for treatment.The rest of the people watched this farce happen, and never dared to have any strange thoughts, and listened to what the Jiangxia County King said-this rebellious king is obviously a lunatic, talking nonsense, and those who follow me prosper and rebel against me Who would dare to have anything to do with him? !

Seeing the opening of the city gate, Jiangxia Junwang's followers immediately tried to attack, but they were suppressed by the rain of arrows falling on the city wall, so they had to give up their plan to attack the city.

The King of Jiangxia County watched Li Ren being carried into the city of Chang'an with a sneer all over his body, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "Grandpa Zu is really good at tricks. It is clear that you locked him up in Zongzheng Temple and forced him to write a plan to crusade against his father." The appeal, but I don’t know what kind of tricks he used to make him give up on you. Tsk tsk, do you think that apart from him, I can’t find evidence?!”

"No matter how much evidence you find, it's useless." Li Hui said, "Uncle knows better than anyone how much effort Uncle has put in to find out about Ni Wang."

King Jiangxia squinted his eyes, obviously not believing that King Jing's actions were all inspired by the saints.You know, as far as he knows, King Hejian's plan for King Jing started as early as the time of the first emperor.How could it be possible for King Jing to avoid all the schemes of Princess Anxing and the Duke of Hejian?And took the opportunity to vote for Jinshang?

However, at this moment, he suddenly heard a loud shout behind him: "Report! Enemy attack!!" Immediately afterwards, there was a commotion among the cronies, and the morale, which was still extremely high just now, wavered instantly.

He looked back suddenly, and saw a dark army galloping towards the horizon like dark clouds holding banners.When you get closer, you can see the words "Tang", "Yichi", "Zuo Jin Wuwei" and other words embroidered on those banners! !

He was shocked and said almost instinctively: "No! Impossible!! Didn't they go to Taiyuan Mansion—" At this point, Fang suddenly realized that the sixteen guards' departure from Beijing was just a trick to lure the enemy.But he was too eager at the time, and he failed to see the fraud, so he got into the trap! !

"Your Majesty, retreat to the south and hide in the Qinling Mountains, there may be a chance of survival!!"

"My lord, it's better to go north. Now the north is busy resisting foreign enemies, and the defense is empty! First occupy one or two cities, and it will not be too late to plan for the future!!"

His cronies and aides flocked around him to speak out.Duke Jiangxia only felt his forehead throbbing, and there was a familiar dull pain in his head.He glanced around sharply, but suddenly found that Cheng Qing was nowhere to be seen, and couldn't help but ask: "Where is Cheng Qing?! Could it be that he has already run away?!"

"Just now..." All the staff members looked at each other and looked around.

"My lord! He wants to escape!!" Someone with sharp eyes saw Yiqi Juechen running towards the sixteen guards who had been killed by Huishi, and immediately shouted a warning.

The king of Jiangxia County took a closer look and angrily ordered his subordinates to shoot the traitor to death.However, Cheng Qing rode his horse out of the place covered by the rain of arrows, held up an imperial edict, and said loudly: "Cheng has followed the secret order of the sage to lurk in the enemy camp to perform crimes and perform meritorious deeds, and to pass on the news of the traitor. Now that the rebels have raised their troops, the evidence is convincing, Cheng is willing to serve under Duke Yuchi’s command, fight for the saints, and kill the thieves!!”

Although what he said was eloquent, the sixteen guards still did not dare to relax, and hundreds of arrows were pointed at him in unison.Only Duke E's Wei Chiqing held the wine gourd, sized him up without hesitation, and curled his lips: "Your grandfather used to be a sour literati full of etiquette and morality, how did you give birth to such an informal person? Really? It’s not like him, on the contrary, it looks like us rough people!! Hahaha! However, I like this kind of junior!!”

So, in a short while, Cheng Qing, the former son-in-law of the eldest princess Anxing who was "attached to rebellion", transformed into a hero who endured humiliation according to the secret decree of the saint, and got the position of pioneer official promised by Duke E.Among the sixteen guards there were also quite a few honorable disciples, so they naturally recognized him and checked the authenticity of the imperial decree, so they accepted him without hesitation.

Seeing this, King Jiangxia almost vomited blood with anger.

However, even if his chest was aching with tightness and the wounds all over his body were aching with anger, it was already too late for him to call a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.Facing enemies from both sides, and the reinforcements have not arrived, he must quickly make a decision that concerns his own life and death——

"Go south! Go!!"

Instinctively, he chose the south which he was more familiar with.Jiangxia County in the land of Jingchu is the fiefdom of their lineage, so it has been operated for many years, and there are many things that he can't let go of! !Money, food, soldiers, everything! !As long as he can go back, he will be able to respond to everyone, lead them to continue south, and take advantage of the situation to attack a piece of territory that belongs to him! !

Divide the river and rule, crack the soil and proclaim the emperor, just around the corner! !

The author has something to say: Prince Jiangxia: Let's go! !Keep the green hills here without worrying about no firewood! !

King of Xin'an County: ==, I dug all his green hills! ! !

E Guogong: →→, the county king can really speak.

Prince of Xin'an County: →→, it's hard to rest assured if we don't get rid of him.

E Guogong: Well, it’s the old man who has to do hard work.

Prince Xin'an: →→, if the old man doesn't want to do it, he can leave it to others.

Duke E: No!I do it! !Just do it! ! !You can't just let that old man Xu Ye show off! !hum!
