In Wuzhou, Guangxi, Liu Songpo was tossing and turning on his sickbed in the simple and dilapidated Guanyi. The capital was thousands of miles away from Lingnan, and there were countless difficulties and obstacles. When he reached Guangxi, Liu Songpo fell ill. He had been ill for several months and had exhausted all his expenses. It was only with the support of the local government that Liu Songpo and his family settled in the hotel. His wife prepared medicine to take care of Liu Songpo. His son Jingyun took some cotton robes to the pawnshop to exchange money. People's lives are miserable and bleak. Compared with the past days in the capital, it is simply a world of difference. Liu Songpo was half lying on the bed, covered with a worn quilt, with a cloth band wrapped around his forehead. His face was sallow, and he was out of breath at the slightest movement. Even so, he was still reading a copy of the Di newspaper he had obtained from the local government. , wars are rising all over the world, half of the country has fallen, and the south of the Yangtze River is also in chaos. The country of the Zhou Dynasty is probably not stable. Mrs. Liu came over with a bowl of medicine and carefully blew the hot air, "Master, drink it while it's hot." Liu Songpo put down the newspaper, took the medicine bowl and was about to drink it, when he suddenly looked up at Madam's thin face and the corners of his eyes. Wrinkled, a little distressed, he reached out and brushed her hair on the temples, and said softly: "I'm sorry for you, you haven't had a good life since you followed me." The madam's eyes were a little moist, and she sighed: " Master, I plan to die with you in Lingnan, but what about Jingyun and Ying'er, especially Ying'er, there has been no news, I'm afraid" As he said that, tears fell down. Thinking of his smart daughter, Liu Songpo's heart tightened, and he comforted his wife insincerely: "Ying'er is very witty, and she will turn disaster into good luck." But he also knew that no matter how smart Ying'er was, she was just a weak woman. And being hunted by the Jin Yiwei, I'm afraid it's going to be a disaster. \?The old couple were speechless, with only clear tears. At this moment, there was a rapid knock on the door, and then they heard the old policeman from the hotel asking: "What do you do?" Then they heard The familiar capital accent came to her: "Jinyiwei is on an errand, get out of the way!" The madam trembled and held Liu Songpo's hand tightly. The sound of heavy and messy footsteps sounded in the courtyard of Guanyi, and the broken door panels with air leakage on all sides were kicked. Opening the door, a arrogant voice sounded: "The guilty minister Liu Songpo accepts the decree!" As expected, it was someone from the capital. Liu Songpo supported his sick body and got out of bed tremblingly. With the help of his wife, he knelt on the ground and waited for someone to read the imperial edict. . The Jin Yiwei shook out a piece of paper and read with great vigor: "According to the emperor's instructions, the traitor Liu Songpo is captured and brought to the capital! Mr. Liu, please obey and tie him up.\" Liu Songpo was a little surprised. As he expected, the emperor had It is reasonable to continue to demote his official position, or even reduce his position to serve the people, but it is shocking to be called a rebel. But Liu Songpo didn't say anything, and he had nothing to say to these Tiqi. He just smiled softly and said to the tearful lady: "Don't cry, at least I can return to the capital again." Jin Yiwei was not polite at all and shook it off. An iron chain was put around Liu Songpo's neck, and the frail old man was pulled out. The yard was already filled with guards in uniforms, holding swords in their hands. They were extremely arrogant. A prison car was parked outside the door Waiting for Liu Jingyun and his wife to take the pawn. When I returned to Guanyi with the few hundred copper coins, I found that my parents had disappeared. There were messy footprints everywhere in the yard. The couple looked at each other, wondering what had happened. At this time, the old policeman of Guanyi sighed and left. He came over and said, "Mr. Liu was taken to Beijing by Jin Yiwei Suo.\" The prison car was traveling on the rugged mountain road. Liu Songpo, dressed in torn and dirty white clothes, sat in a cage made of wooden fences, his hair disheveled. His head swayed from side to side as the prison car rocked, and he was suffering from illness and hunger. The former Right Prime Minister Liu was already dying, but the escorting guards showed no mercy at all. They were wearing bright clothes and angry horses and just hurried to Beijing to show their merit. Anyway, this time Liu Songpo was already certain to die, so there was no need to give him a good look. Mrs. Liu was not having a hard time either. At the age of 40, she was carrying wooden shackles and staggering on foot following the prison car. The physical torture she suffered was second to none. Watching her frail husband walk towards death step by step was the most painful thing. torture. "My lords, please take a rest. The master is very ill." Mrs. Liu raised her head and looked longingly at the royal guards sitting on high horses and wearing big cloaks. No one paid any attention to her. The Jin Yiwei were all cruel and ruthless little people. The big shots who were all-powerful in the past were now trembling and begging for mercy under their power. This kind of satisfaction could not be bought with money. But even if Liu Songpo was killed, it would still be difficult. The leading Jinyiwei Baihu looked at the long mountain road and asked the guide: "How far is it from Shaoguan?" "There are still eighty miles. I'm afraid I won't be able to make it today." "Okay, let's set up camp and rest for now." Baihu turned over and dismounted. At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and there seemed to be mirrors on the hillside in the distance.The child's reflection flashed, but the exhausted Jin Yiwei didn't notice it. We found a mountain shelter sheltered from the wind, parked the prison cart, untied the mules and put them aside to graze. The royal guards also dismounted their horses to rest. The Tiqi riders went out to run errands. They were always accompanied by local husbandmen, setting up tents, feeding the horses, and burying the pots. The food is prepared by the people themselves. The Guangdong and Guangxi areas have not been peaceful recently. Hu Dahai, the Duke of Yue in the previous dynasty, raised troops in Fujian and Guangdong, and respected the Han king as the main leader. Recently, it has become a turmoil, so although the Jin Yiwei are lazy, they still put two sentries. In March, the weather in Guangdong was already very warm. The mountain breeze mixed with the fragrance of rice made people drowsy. The Jin Yiwei who was sitting high up looking at the wind suddenly tilted his body and lay down. The person next to him laughed and cursed. : "Wu Laoer, you are so sleepy." As he said this, he went to push him, only to find that Wu Laoer had a short arrow stuck in his chest! Just as the Jin Yiwei was about to shout a warning, the trees on the surrounding slopes suddenly started to move. Dozens of people had quietly lurked next to the camp. The Jin Yiwei all took off their armor and weapons, and some even took off their boots. Caught off guard, he was knocked down more than half at that time. The man who came was extremely ferocious, his moves were deadly, and his attacks were extremely ruthless. There was no one left alive by the sword. After a while, corpses were strewn all over the hillside. Only a dozen civilians were left, trembling with frightened eyes. The tough men wearing camouflage nets of weeds did not find it difficult to protect these innocent civilians and walked straight to the prison car. One of them suddenly raised a bright big axe. Mrs. Liu screamed in the distance and rushed over, but it was not long before It was too late, the big ax had already struck down, but the scene of the corpses being separated did not appear. Instead, the prison car was reduced to pieces. \?The big man directly carried the unconscious Liu Songpo on his shoulders. Mrs. Liu exclaimed: 'Who are you? What do you want to do? The big man looked at her with squinted eyes: "Are you Mrs. Liu?" " Without waiting for her answer, she glanced at her subordinates, and someone immediately came up and took Mrs. Liu away by force. The capital, Qianqing Palace in the Forbidden City, a group of palace maids and eunuchs surrounded the emperor, helping him put on armor. This was a scene. The armor is specially made by the Ordnance Department. It is golden in color and decorated with coiled golden dragons. It is exquisite and luxurious, majestic and shows the royal dignity. The emperor's favorite Lan Guiren personally helped the emperor tie the belt. Lan Guiren was only 18 years old. She came to the palace from this draft. She is virtuous, gentle and generous, so she has received many blessings. She is now three months pregnant. Although her belly is not big yet, Lan Guiren always holds her belly proudly. , holding his hands on his waist, surrounded by no less than eight maids at all times, everyone also knew that if Lan Guiren could give birth to a son this time, his mother would be promoted to a concubine based on the son's wealth, and the emperor would be the emperor. If you have a son, you will definitely love him even more, and it is not impossible to be named the crown prince. Therefore, in the inner palace now, apart from the old and dim-eyed empress dowager, the most noble person is finally this little noble man. After putting on this royal armor, Lan Guiren took a step back and looked at it, and said softly: "Your Majesty is really mighty. " Two young eunuchs held an expensive large glass mirror and placed it in front of the emperor. The emperor looked at his heroic figure in the mirror and smiled proudly: "I am not old yet, and I can still ride a horse and wield a sword. \" "Well, Your Majesty will never grow old. "Lan Guiren smiled tenderly, and suddenly saw that the pheasant feathers on the emperor's helmet were a little crooked, so he stood up on tiptoes to help him straighten it, but he accidentally slipped and fell. The emperor had quick eyes and quick hands and pulled Lan Guiren into his arms. , Hehe laughed and said: "Lan'er, be careful, you have dragon veins in your belly. " Lan Guiren blushed with embarrassment and buried her hot little face deeply into the emperor's broad chest. In fact, she was just pretending. This scheming girl thought about how to consolidate her position every day and ascend to the motherland as soon as possible. The throne of Yitianxia. One hundred thousand troops in the capital camp have been prepared. It is not a trivial matter for the emperor to personally conquer the capital. The entire capital is almost empty. The six cabinet ministries, the thirteen yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as well as the Yulin Army, Jin Yiwei and other units have all sent their most powerful troops. With the lineup, coupled with the 50,000 men temporarily recruited, the team is quite impressive. With this army that at least seems to be very powerful, the emperor does not have to worry about someone going against him personally, and the responsibility of being in charge of the capital is given to the cabinet minister. Academician Hu Weiyong is here. This academician is mediocre and low-key. In fact, the power lies in the hands of two young people, Yang Feng and Meng Zhiqiu. The emperor does not like to use those old guys who are cunning, cunning, with deep roots and complicated connections. It is even more difficult for young people who are not stable. I believe that if the stay behind this time is done well, these two people will definitely take Hu Weiyong's place. The emperor went out with his army in a mighty manner. Looking at the Huang Luo Umbrella cover gradually going away, the officials who stayed behind in the capital could not help but feel. I let out a sigh in my heart, even the emperor went on a personal expedition. The world of the Great Zhou Dynasty seemed to be in a state of turmoil, although it was already in ruins.It's the season of willow wind, but everyone's heart is filled with the bleak autumn wind. Only two young senior officials, Yang Feng and Meng Zhiqiu, looked indifferent. After the emperor left, the capital would be theirs. They looked at each other and smiled, as if they were close friends for many years. But all the cabinet ministers knew that, in fact, These two people have become a quarrel. This time the emperor leaves Beijing, the two will definitely start a fight. This book. Your message, even just one (*__*), will become the motivation for the author's creation.
