For the emperor, everyone in the world is his dog.
The meat-eaters are live dogs, and the soldiers and civilians at the bottom are rotten dogs. He can trade with live dogs, but he disdains the rotten dogs.
Rude dog, straw dog!
In the eyes of the emperor, Wang Shou was just a stupid dog.
Over the years, Jingtai has made great contributions to him. Another person would naturally treat the loyal Wang Shou kindly.
But the emperor was different. In his eyes, a cud dog was a cud dog. When it lost its use value, it was just thrown away.
If Wang Shou had not known many of his secrets, the emperor would probably have sent him to guard the mausoleum, thinking that this was his own mercy.
But before he planned and launched the first palace coup, Wang Shou was his dog.
In those years that many people couldn't see through, Wang Shou knew too many of his secrets.
Wang Shou must die!
But how to kill Wang Shou needs to be considered.
If he took action directly, it would inevitably damage the emperor's face. Moreover, the emperor was worried that Wang Shou would take risks and throw out his secrets.
Therefore, the emperor used Zhao Sanfu to boil the frog in warm water step by step, reducing Wang Shou's space of movement step by step until he could no longer fight back.
Today is a crisp autumn day, which is a good weather for killing people.
The emperor fulfilled his wish of several years, put Yang Xuan and Beijiang on the list of traitors, and began to plan to eliminate this sworn enemy for many years.
You are in a good mood, do you want to kill someone to cheer you up?
This is a pear garden, how dare Wang Shou rise up?
In the Liyuan, the emperor is the sky. Even if the gods come, you have to bow your head.
The emperor's long-term arrogance made him lose his vigilance.
What's more, the good man is right outside the door. He gives the order and is waiting for Wang Shou to capture him without any help.
But what I didn't expect was
"Old dog, suffer death!"
Wang Shou put his hands on the ground, and people flew over.
The emperor was stunned.
The singers were also stunned, but their muscle memory drove them to make the next move.
The music is a bit messy.
The servants looked at Wang Shou in shock.
The guard who came in from the door was stunned.
Like the emperor, years of peace have long made them lose their vigilance.
In such a blink of an eye, Wang Shou had already approached the emperor.
The guards' eyes were about to burst, and their inner energy was surging crazily in their bodies, driving them to shoot forward.
But it's obviously too late.
The imperial concubine covered her little mouth and wanted to scream in horror.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the emperor.
In a hurry, the visitor tried his best to wave, but Wang Shou punched him away, but he still refused to retreat.
Wang Shou continued to move forward, and his fist landed heavily on the visitor's chest.
puff!
The man spit out a mouthful of blood and slapped it away with his palm.
Wang Shou blocks
Just this moment was enough for the guards to rush behind him.
One of the guards knocked Wang Shou down with one punch, and the others rushed up and overwhelmed him.
At this moment, the emperor's soul possessed him.
He gasped, his cheeks trembling.
The imperial concubine screamed in surprise, "Your Majesty!"
"His Majesty!"
The chamberlains knelt down. The feeling of escaping from death was so wonderful that some of them were actually choking.
If the emperor was assassinated, they would all be executed afterwards.
The emperor couldn't care less about his joy, "Stone!"
The person standing in front of the emperor was Han Shitou.
He turned around slowly, "Your Majesty, are you okay?"
Blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth, and his face was pale.
"Call the medical officer! Go quickly!"
The emperor personally supported Han Shitou and forced him to sit down.
"Slave, you can't!"
Han Shitou insisted not to sit down.
The medical officer came flying over and felt relieved when he saw that the emperor was fine.
"Show Shitou." The emperor looked anxiously.
Wang Shou had been preparing for that move for a long time. If it weren't for Han Shitou, he would not have been able to escape.
The medical officer made a diagnosis and treated him and said, "Young Master Han's internal organs are shaking. I will prescribe some medicine to boil it."
Get more rest on weekdays”
The emperor repeatedly called for rewards for medical officers.
"Hold on to the stone and go back to rest!"
The emperor pointed at Han Shitou and said, "Don't bother him with anything!"
"yes!"
Han Shitou smiled bitterly and was helped away.
The emperor then sat down and slowly calmed down the shock caused by the previous assassination.
After a long while, he said quietly: "At that time, there was no time to weigh the pros and cons. What everyone did was what they thought about on weekdays. The stone stood in front of me without hesitation."
The imperial concubine said: "It is indeed the loyal Han Shitou."
The emperor sent two medical officers to look after Han Shitou, and told him to just get whatever he needed.
This treatment is better than treating my son.
Then, the emperor said coldly: "That old dog dared to assassinate me and torture me. Let's see if he has any accomplices."
The emperor became suspicious and became suspicious of the big shots in the court, even his own son.
After hearing the news, the King of Yue went to the palace to inquire.
"I'm fine."
The emperor looked at his son with cold eyes.
"His Majesty."
Chen Kun, the chamberlain who was sent to inspect the mirror, came to report, "After torturing Wang Shou for a long time, this man insisted that he was the one responsible for the assassination of His Majesty."
"This old dog is crazy." The emperor thought about it carefully afterwards and felt that Wang Shou was most likely to take action out of spite.
"Throw him outside the imperial city for public display!" The emperor's eyes were cold, "Throw him into a dog cage!"
"yes!"
Wang Shou was taken away.
The emperor's voice still echoed in the palace.
"Until death, he will still be a dog that I kept in captivity!"
In a wine shop owned by a barbarian outside the city, Huanghuang was waiting.
According to the time agreed between him and Wang Shou, the person should be here at this moment.
There was no business today, and the Hu people talked to him about their past in fluent Tang Dynasty dialect.
"Back then, the villain committed a crime and was almost killed. Fortunately, he met Wang Jianmen and escaped. Wang Jianmen also gave the villain money and asked him to open a wine shop outside the city."
In the eyes of the outside world, Wang Shou is as ferocious as a tiger and a wolf, but in the mouth of the barbarians, he is the birthplace of Buddha. "The villain thus got married and had children, and settled down in the Tang Dynasty. Every day, the villain would offer a few sticks of incense to the gods and pray for their protection."
Wang Jianmen."
Hu Ren was a bit talkative, "I have thought about a lot of things over the years, I think! For this person, money is just an external possession, as long as he can have enough food, clothing, and a place to live. The most important thing is that this person can be safe."
Huanghuang looked outside indifferently.
"Peace is a blessing!"
The barbarians continued to chatter, "What glory and wealth, some last a year or two, or at most decades, and eventually they rot and collapse like those old houses.
More than ten men left the city, apparently to see them off.
Li and the people seeing him off were talking outside, someone came over to buy drinks, and the barbarians hurriedly went to organize the meeting.
After a few glasses of wine, the person leaving said goodbye.
The farewell party began to sing.
The singing was actually a bit tragic.
In this era, ordinary people are taking risks when they travel far.
Once I was caught in the rain, once I ate something dirty, once I encountered a robber, and once I encountered a natural disaster.
Farewell, most likely forever.
The song gradually became melodious, and the man mounted his horse, shed a few tears, and then rode away.
The atmosphere is sad.
Those people entered the barbarian's shop, ordered food and drinks, drank wine, and talked about the past of the man who had just left.
The past is like smoke and passers-by are in a hurry, but those left behind still have to work hard for rice, for their wives and children, and for their own future.
In other words, a fly is in the camp of a dog.
"All life is miserable!"
After the foreigner finished his work, he came over and sighed.
"Who doesn't suffer!"
This is the second sentence Huanghuang has said since he appeared.
The first sentence is: "This is the wooden sign given by my brother."
Among the people who were saying goodbye, one of them probably had a good relationship with the person who was leaving. He drank a little too much and said with a blushing face: "I told him not to chase anything."
Fame and fortune, but he refuses to listen and wants to go to northern Xinjiang."
Everyone was silent.
This man became more and more dissatisfied, "Look at Wang Shou, the Wang Jianmen who has been in charge of the mirror for many years. His power can make the nobles of Chang'an tremble. Now? He is locked in a dog cage. Is this power good? Okay, but
You have to be moderate. Hey! How can you be so rude?"
Huanghuang released his grip on his clothes and asked, "Then Wang Shou was captured?"
The man patted his clothes and muttered, "Why should I tell you?" He was dissatisfied, but was frightened by Huang Huang's cold eyes, "He said he had committed a crime. His Majesty was so angry that he was thrown outside the imperial city and imprisoned.
In a dog cage. The afternoon sun was so strong that it made him look like an old dog."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Everyone laughed.
The barbarian didn't laugh.
Huanghuang didn't smile, he walked out of the wine shop, looked at the sun, and slowly entered Chang'an City.
The sun sets in the west.
In the distance, the traveler gradually went away. He looked back, but he could no longer see the city of Chang'an.
The so-called dog cage is actually a bamboo cage for pigs.
The bamboo cage was so long that Wang Shou could only curl up, and his hands and feet were tied, making him look like an old dog.
The sun was so hot that it made his lips chapped.
People come and go in front of the imperial city, and everyone who comes in or out will look at the bamboo cage.
Some people even stopped and stood in front of the bamboo cage, gritting their teeth and saying: "Old dog, do you have this day too?"
Zheng Yuandong stood diagonally across from him, and next to him was Zhou Zun, who was shunned by the ministers like a snake and a scorpion.
"Wang Shou has worked hard for the emperor for many years. Once he loses power like an old dog, won't the emperor worry that those dogs will no longer be loyal?" Zhou Zun said.
"Power is charming. As long as the emperor can provide power and wealth, there are countless people who are willing to be dogs." Zheng Yuandong raised his chin towards the opposite person, "That's what the person opposite is like."
Standing opposite was Liang Jing, the right prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, whom the world regarded as another loyal dog of the emperor.
Liang Jing looked at Wang Shou in the bamboo cage with complicated eyes, "What did he commit?"
The people around him said: "I mean to assassinate His Majesty!"
"Is he crazy?" Liang Jing was surprised.
"I don't know."
This news is being spread in a secretive way, and the details are still unclear.
Liang Jing suddenly sighed, "I know."
A chamberlain came out, stood in front of the bamboo cage and said, "The king's guard is rebellious, and your majesty is furious."
The words of scolding were said with awe-inspiring justice.
Liang Jing said quietly: "The mirror stage has been controlled by Zhao Sanfu for a long time. What kind of rebellion is he planning?"
On the opposite side, Zheng Yuandong said: "The owner wants to kill the dog, so the dog will just jump over the wall!"
This is correct.
Zhou Zun nodded slightly.
Zheng Yuandong looked at him, "I heard that the situation in Northern Xinjiang is very good?"
Zhou Zun shook his head, "I don't know either."
"Give us a bowl of water!"
At this time Wang Shou hissed.
But no one paid any attention to him.
The sergeant guarding him even took a step back, as if being exposed to this man's scent would bring bad luck.
Since the emperor ascended the throne, this is the first time he has been assassinated.
Today is just an appetizer, and there may be a big cleanup next. At this time, it is best to stay far away.
"The King of Yue is here."
The emperor was assassinated, and the King of Yue came to the palace to visit him after hearing the news. Unexpectedly, he came again.
"This person's exploits in the camp are quite good." Zheng Yuandong said calmly.
This man actually wanted to make friends with me. Zhou Zun smiled.
Zheng Yuandong is a close relative. He is a member of an aristocratic family and the father-in-law of a traitor. He will not get close to Zheng Yuandong until he knows the details.
"water!"
Wang Shou was tortured for a long time and almost collapsed. He was also exposed to the sun for a long time and was somewhat dehydrated.
His body rolled a few times in the bamboo cage, causing his wounds to be affected, and he couldn't help but groan miserably.
But his thirst covered up the severe pain, and he, who had been pampered for many years, couldn't stand the taste. "Please, give us a glass of water! Half a glass is fine!"
The guarding sergeant took another step back.
He spat on the ground and said, "Come on, eat."
this!"
Wang Shou sighed.
"I have water here."
Wang Shou's body was shaken.
A beggar came over carrying a broken bowl, which was mostly filled with water.
"Stop!"
the sergeant shouted.
There are powerful crossbows at the top of the city outside the imperial city and fierce soldiers outside the city gate. We are not worried that someone will kidnap the king's guard. But the sergeant still drank the beggar.
"I owe you the kindness of the Wang Jianmen. Today I heard that he was arrested. I have nothing to offer in return. I just want to give him a bowl of water."
The beggar knelt down.
A civil servant standing by said: "Even if he is a rebel, someone will collect his body after his death, and the government will not care."
This is a beautiful talk and a good thing that shows the emperor's generosity.
The sergeant hesitated for a moment and waved his hand.
The beggar came over and carefully brought the bowl to the gap in the bamboo cage, "Brother, drink water!"
Wang Shou looked at him steadily, while drinking water, he smiled slightly
Shake his head.
He said vaguely: "Let's go!"
"Drink more!"
The beggar held the bowl with a steady hand.
Wang Shou drank half of the bowl of water, but couldn't drink the rest. He looked up at the beggar and said, "You shouldn't have come."
The beggar smiled and said: "That year I was executed and you came."
Wang Shou just shook his head.
"I've met the king!"
The King of Yue dismounted and came over, nodding gracefully.
He saw the bamboo cage and asked, "Who is that?"
Several officials were laughing, and one of them said: "Your Majesty, that's Wang Shou!"
The King of Yue sighed, "This old dog deserves to die!"
The beggar was kneeling on one knee in front of the bamboo cage. When he didn't make any move, he flew up and rushed towards the King of Yue.
"There's an assassin!"
Someone shouted from the top of the city.
Several powerful crossbows poked their heads out of the city and followed the beggars as they moved slowly.
The King of Yue frowned and looked at the beggar flying over, with a hint of joy in his eyes.
But there was no panic.
As the beggar approached, the tiger roared, his right hand turned into a claw, and he struggled to grab it.
As soon as the man next to the King of Yue stepped down, he flew up.
call!
The two exchanged punches, and the beggar flew backwards, and in an instant he kicked the King of Yue.
The King of Yue sighed, "Why bother?"
The old man on his right coughed dryly, "Your Majesty, are you alive or dead?"
"die!"
call!
The strong wind was blowing, and people on both sides couldn't help but reach out to cover their eyes.
The beggar was knocked away by a punch. As soon as he hit the ground, the top of the city shouted: "Fire the arrow!"
The powerful crossbow was fired, but the beggar couldn't avoid it and was hit by two arrows.
He crawled hard and climbed to the bamboo cage little by little.
He looked at Wang Shou and said in a small voice, "Brother, I'll take the first step."
"Huanghuang!" Wang Shou burst into tears at some point. He nodded vigorously, "Okay!"
