"How could this happen?" Huangfu Fu thought sadly, "How come a good friend who was so lively and lively one moment was beheaded the next moment and died with his eyes open."
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. Behind him were the majestic and mighty soldiers of the central army. They also
They 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 waited for a long time and said calmly: "I don't regret killing Pei Zheng, I only regret not killing Zhang Bu first, a man who has no king and no father."
At this moment, Guo Mo looked like he was standing there respectfully, but he was extremely uneasy in his heart. Since ancient times, any chief officer has paid special attention to the loyalty of his subordinates, and despised those who betrayed the master. Guo Mo was doing something in his heart.
Bai, I beheaded Pei Zheng this time. This is the betrayer in everyone's eyes. He is the twenty-five-year-old boy with the bone in the back of his head that everyone despises.
"I did not betray my master." Guo Mo defended himself forcefully in his mind, "My master is the former Taifu Yang Jun, Pei Zheng is not my master."
Even though Pei Zheng was among the men who came to capture Yang Jun that night when Yang Jun was executed, Guo Mo never resented Pei Zheng. That night, when Yang Jun was hesitant, Pei Zheng quickly commanded.
The men and horses occupied the land around Taifu's Mansion. Because Zhou came down, thousands of arrows were fired. Although there were many monks in Taifu's Mansion, under this situation, there was really no power to fight back. Within a moment, he was risking death.
After the dozen monks who rushed out were shot dead instantly, everyone 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 sword wheel in his hand like an electric fan, but he still couldn't block the random arrows shot from all directions. In just an instant, he was hit
He took five or six arrows and fell to the ground unwillingly. But he was lucky and survived in the end.
Not only did he not resent Pei Zheng on weekdays, but he was grateful to Pei Zheng after he was forced to escape from his captivity. Pei Zheng valued him very much and not only often took him with him, but also took him with him during holidays and festivals.
I always send him various daily necessities.
"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 people in Shangluo are towards 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 be in danger of having their heads chopped off.
Thinking like this, Guo Mo's mood slowly calmed down.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Pei." Guo Mo 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 Guo Mo and Zhang Bu who were standing there respectfully to greet him with a complicated expression. He really wanted to shout at him and pull down this betrayer and kill him.
But he knew he must never 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 worked hard and risk their lives. When today's matter is over, we will make them marquis immediately."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Guo Mo and Zhang Bu were overjoyed when they heard this. The dream of becoming a marquis could be obtained in this way. At this moment, Guo Mo no longer had the mentality of worrying about gains and losses, and did not have the mentality of feeling sorry for Pei Zheng. And Zhang Bu also felt as if he felt it in an instant.
I have pain in my thighs and in the back of my head.
How many monks have struggled their whole lives for nothing more than two goals: to wear a red belt and a purple belt and to achieve meritorious service and become a marquis.
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.
They were called 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 not for the crowd still in front of them, Guo Mo and Zhang Bu would have laughed loudly. Even so, the two people who were fighting for life and death a moment ago looked at each other and saw depression in each other's eyes.
Unstoppable ecstasy.
"Young man, I thank you for your grace." Guo Mo and Zhang Bu were overjoyed and immediately knelt down and kowtowed in thanks.
Things in the world are always so bizarre.
"Drive." After Huangfu Fu finished speaking, he glanced disdainfully at the two people kneeling on the ground and kowtowed. Then he turned away, clamped the horse's belly, raised the exquisite riding whip he held in his right hand, pointed forward, and shouted loudly:
"Advance troops to Yunlongmen."
"Advance troops to Yunlongmen!" Tens of thousands of leading soldiers shouted in unison, which only made the tiles on the houses on the entire Shangluo street rattle.
Suddenly, countless Shangluo monks stood on both sides of the street, cheering at Huangfu Fu and others, or ran around to report. There were even many monks holding long swords and eagerly following behind the long team of the central leader, with excited faces.
Walk towards the Yunlong Gate of the Imperial Palace.
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, "Would you like to come with us?"
"What I got today has exceeded my expectations." 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 wine and meat brought by Brother Zhang. It was better to hit the sun than to choose another day, so Guo Mo
I will borrow flowers to offer to Buddha at the Wanchun Gate, serve Brother Zhang with wine to apologize, and hope that Brother Zhang will give me some face."
"Hahahahaha," Zhang Bu laughed heartily, "You and I really don't know each other before we fight. Zhang Bu can only dream of making friends with such a heroic figure as Brother Guo. Let's go and have a drink together. The affairs of the palace will be left to them.
Go ahead."
Sikong Zhanghua 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 comes from a poor family, and because the Zhang family is very small, there is no one worthy of praise except Zhang Hua. Unlike the Wang family in Jinyang, even if
Without Wang Rong and Wang Yan, there would still be so many outstanding enough disciples. This is a wealthy family, and this is the foundation and thickness of the family.
Zhang Hua is from Fanyang, Youzhou, and has been a famous local prodigy since he was a child. When he was less than ten years old, he was met by Ruan Ji, the great master who came to travel to Youzhou. After just a few words, he became the richest man in the world.
The famous Grand Master Ruan Ji asserted that this boy would definitely become the next first-grade Grand Master in the future.
Not only was the whole of Fan Yang shocked by Ruan Ji's Zhou comments, but the name Zhang Hua spread throughout Youzhou overnight.
Later facts proved that the reason why Xing Ruan Ji was the most famous grand master in the world at that time was not only because his cultivation was almost unparalleled, but also his vision was almost unmatched. The reason why the Chenliu Ruan family was able to become one of the eight great masters in the world
The reason why the family is rich is because of Ruan Ji. Before Wang Rong and Wang Yan, the Chenliu Ruan family became a double master of the profession before the Jinyang Wang family: Ruan Ji and his nephew Ruan Xian. Of course, the Huangfu family in Hanoi is not included in this list.
Wang Rong, Situ of the Great Jin Dynasty, was as famous as he was, but he was not as good as Ruan Ji back then. He was the youngest among the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, and also the last one.
Although Wang Rong has long been a powerful figure in the Zhou Dynasty, his disciples and former officials are all over the Jin Dynasty, and there are countless monks who have received his favor. But what Wang Rong likes most in his daily life is not sitting in the Situ Office to work, nor sitting in the court to discuss matters.
Instead, he rode a donkey, wearing the most common civilian clothes in Luo, and went 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: "I used to have a drink here with Uncle Ji and Ruan Sizong. The trip to the bamboo forest also predicted the end. Since then.
Since Ji was born, Duke Ruan has been imprisoned by time since his death. Even though it is so close today, it is as tall as a mountain or a river. Do you know what God has given you? Grandpa, I am jealous of Ji Shuye and Ruan Sizong from the bottom of my heart. Grandpa, I am jealous of Ji Shuye and Ruan Sizong.
The biggest mistake in my life was to enter the political arena. I am tired of time, and I am tired of 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 men that everyone in the world looks up to, all because of his ability and talent. Wang Rong is also extremely smart and has extraordinary vision. But Wang Rong is too secluded from the world.
However, Zhang Hua is very diligent and conscientious.
He was reused by Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty very early. Whether he was performing tricks in the temple or moving to Fang Yue, Zhang Hua repeatedly made extraordinary achievements, and his actions were praised by everyone. After the death of Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, Empress Jia believed that Zhang Hua had no family.
He was the most important minister and wanted to be on the right side of the ministers, so he appointed Zhang Hua as Sikong, becoming one of the three most envied monks in the world. He was the minister whom Empress Jia most trusted and relied on, and his status in Empress Jia's heart was important.
She passed by Zhao Wang Huangfulun, Shen Xiu and others from afar. Jia Hou had been a very clever woman since she was a child. She was not stupid. She knew that the thoughts of people like Shen Xiu were too elusive. At that time, the prince Huangfu Yu was worried about the letter.
After being deposed, Empress Jia originally insisted on the death of Huangfu Yu at that time, but Zhang Hua relied on his reasoning and tried his best to quote from other sources, and finally saved Huangfu Yu's life and only deposed him as a commoner.
Precisely because he was the most trusted by Empress Jia, he not only held the post of Sikong, but also served as the official secretary of the imperial court. He and Empress Jia's uncle, Pei Wei, the second-rank purple-robed monk of the Pei family in Hedong, can be said to be the actual officials of the imperial government.
The person in charge is just not as prestigious as 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 have come to ask Gong Zhang for something."
"Why did Mr. Shen come here late at night?" Zhang Hua frowned.
"His Royal Highness King Zhao hopes that Mr. Zhang will allow His Highness King Zhao to take charge of the affairs of the ministers."
Zhang Hua's face turned cold and he said sternly: "King Zhao wants to cause trouble? How can you raise such an unfair 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 queen in the inner palace."
"The affairs of the Tianjia are the affairs of their Tianjia. Isn't Shangluo and Dajin still calm and peaceful? Xiao Shen, listen to my old man's good advice. The top priority is to be quiet and not to move. As long as this storm passes, Dajin
The flowers are still blooming. Don’t make trouble out of nothing, and don’t add fuel to the flames.”
"What Mr. Zhang said is wrong. The trees are about to stop but the wind is not calm." Shen Xiu shook his head and said eloquently: "First, Empress Jia did not have the courtesy of a aunt and a daughter-in-law, and killed the emperor's grandfather Yang Jun, and starved to death the queen mother Yang Min. At this time
At that time, was it Taifu Yang who wanted to be quiet and wanted to take action, or Empress Jia who wanted to be quiet and take action? Then he planned to drive 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 falsifying the imperial edict, and then killed the King of Chu. This
At this moment, who wants to be quiet and who wants to move? Including this time when Empress Jia harmed the prince, if the prince really had the intention of deposing Empress Jia, even ten empresses would have been deposed long ago. People have no intention of hurting tigers, and tigers can eat them.
People's hearts. If Empress Jia is not deposed for a day, everyone in the clan will be uneasy."
"Queen Jia is a woman, and all she wants is to make her son a prince, so there is no reason why everyone in the clan is uneasy."
"People's ambitions will grow slowly." Shen Xiu 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. Prince Xianxing,
Everyone in the world knows that the emperor is benevolent and filial, and everyone in the world knows it. But what will happen to the benevolent and filial prince? If the tyrannical Empress Jia continues to sit as queen, how will the moral values of the people in the world change? How will the people of the world think?
?Those who make troubles and make mistakes will not be punished, but those who are benevolent and filial will suffer misfortunes. Duke Zhang and the three princes of the 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, everyone will
If you don't want to be a good person like the prince, how can the world function and how chaotic the world is? As long as King 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, there will be nothing more than two
The affairs of Huangmen eunuchs."
"But the queen is the mother and the leader of a country. She is the master, and we are the ministers. The king, the king, the ministers, the father, the son, the son. Today you can depose the queen, you can depose the emperor in the future, and the father and the son can kill each other in the future.
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 is on the string and has to be fired." Shen Xiu's face turned cold and her tone turned cold, "Today Gong Zhang will not help His Royal Highness King Zhao, but he will help the empress. I hope Gong Zhang will think twice before taking action."
"How dare Shuzi do this!" Zhang Hua was furious after hearing Shen Xiu's words and said, "As long as I, Zhang Hua, am still breathing, I will not tolerate you making such a rebellion."
"Huh. Mr. Zhang, if you are attacked one day, don't blame 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 walked away.
"Bang!" Zhang Hua dropped a tea cup on the ground, looked at Shen Xiu's back and 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 he still causes trouble to this day.
