A carriage drove out from a mansion in the city. The wheels of the carriage rolled over the wet bluestone slabs and rushed toward the east of the city. There were strong and well-dressed knights in front and behind.
When we arrived not far from Wangjiang Tower, the road was blocked by people who gathered to watch, making it difficult to move forward and we had to slow down.
In the carriage, a white-faced and beardless middle-aged man stretched out his hand to lift the curtain. Seeing the crowds on the street, he became more and more irritated and shouted: "Blow these untouchables away. Anyone who dares to block the road will be killed!"
"Here!"
The private soldiers in front and behind made a loud promise, picked up the reins of their horses and rushed forward, waving the whips in their hands and shouting: "Anyone who blocks the road will be killed!"
"Crack!"
The horsewhip hit an old woman in the face who couldn't dodge, and a cloud of snowflakes flew out. The old woman fell down with a scream. Fortunately, the person next to her had quick eyes and quick hands, and pulled her aside when she was about to fall to the ground, so that she was not caught behind.
The horses that followed were trampled to death.
The people screamed and cursed for a while, and they moved to both sides and opened a passage in the middle of the road. Dozens of private soldiers protected the carriage and galloped towards Wangjiang Tower.
In the car, the white-faced and beardless middle-aged man looked anxious, looking at the motionless middle-aged scribe sitting opposite, and said distressedly: "I don't know if it's Fang Jun. What if Fang Jun comes looking for me?"
What should I do? I told you to keep a low profile, but you refused to listen... Sigh!"
Thousands of words and regrets all turned into this helpless sigh.
The middle-aged scribe sitting opposite him was none other than Wang Jing.
Different from the anxious middle-aged man who was in a hurry, Wang Jing had a calm face, neither arrogant nor impetuous, and calmly said: "The Tang Dynasty was founded by law. Even the princes did not dare to use force to do violence. Is it possible that Fang Jun can still do it?"
Above the prince? What's more, that guy is currently involved in a lawsuit, and he is secretly involved. The Long bosses want to skin him and fry his bones, and they will never dare to make a big move against the Shen family. My brother, Yihe, please be patient and don't be impatient."
"well!"
The white-faced middle-aged man sighed and said nothing more.
This person's name is Shen Zong, whose courtesy name is Yihe. He is a direct branch of the Shen family in Wuxing, and he is also a talker based in Suzhou to safeguard the interests of the Shen family.
He also understood that Wang Jing's words were reasonable, but the problem was that Wang Jing was not from Jiangnan, and he had never witnessed Fang Jun's arrogant behavior in the past. He had no idea that the entire Jiangnan gentry had a deep respect for Fang Jun, which was unparalleled.
Yes, for their own benefit, everyone dared to do anything secretly, and when they were tied together to gain courage, they also dared to do some small tricks behind their backs. But when it comes to talking about it, few people actually stood in front of them and challenged Fang Jun.
It can be done.
The Gu family's warning is not far away. The tragic situation of such an overwhelming army attacking the city and destroying the whole family overnight is enough to send chills down the spine and make one's hair stand on end.
Perhaps the Xiao family, Chen family, Zhou family, and Lu family are not afraid of encountering such tragic disasters. After all, Fang Jun cannot kill countless people unscrupulously, but the Wu family definitely has to worry.
The Shen family of Wuxing has been a wealthy family in Jiangdong since ancient times, and they also used countless mercenaries to run rampant in Jiangdong. Shen Zong's uncle Shen Faxing led the Shen family's children to rise up and raise an army in the name of killing Yu Wenhuaji. They coerced tens of thousands of people from all ethnic groups in Jiangdong to attack Jiangdu.
.
The reputation and strength of the Wuxing Shen family have reached its peak!
In the second year of Wude, after Shen Faxing conquered Piling, he thought that the areas south of the Yangtze River and Huaihe River could be pacified by issuing orders and dispatching his own troops, so he called himself King of Liang, established Piling as the capital, named it Yankang, and appointed hundreds of officials.
It was only a year later that he was destroyed by Li Zitong...
The Shen family's dream of founding a nation in Wuxing was shattered, and tens of thousands of their elite tribesmen were killed on the battlefield. The family suffered heavy losses.
But no matter what, the Wuxing Shen family was once a powerful party in the late Sui Dynasty, and had a background in founding the country. If Fang Jun used this as an excuse to frame the Shen family's desire to found a country, he secretly recruited troops to rebel, and then commanded the navy The elite reenacted the scene of annihilating the Gu family, and concocted some so-called evidence to make up for it...
Who is Shen going to talk to?
Thinking of this, Shen Zong couldn't help but feel resentful towards his brother who was the head of the family!
Our Shen family has established itself as a country. In the eyes of the Li and Tang royal family, we are absolutely unstable elements. We should keep silent about making money and teach the children of the family to accumulate knowledge in order to rise again in a few decades. Why bother? Want to choose a side in the turbulent battle for storage?
Even if you have to choose, you should choose the prince's side. The prince's name is just and right, and he has a greater chance of ascending to the throne. What's more, one of the prince's humerus, Yue Guo Gong Fang Jun, controls the Royal Navy with one hand, which is a tight control. The existence of overseas trade, the largest source of Shen's wealth, offended him. I'm afraid that before the King of Jin came to the throne, Shen's family had already been tortured to the point of collapse...
After a while, the carriage arrived in front of Wangjiang Tower.
The two got out of the car together and were immediately startled by the murderous soldiers standing on horseback in front of Wangjiang Tower.
Shen Zong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looked at the majestic military appearance in front of him, and said with a trembling voice: "Could it be...that this is the legendary Bei Ya Forbidden Army?"
The imperial guards in the center of the Suwei Center of the Tang Dynasty have always been called "Nan Ya" and "Bei Ya" by the people.
The so-called "yamen" refers to the emperor's residence or government office.
Confucius said: "Yong can also face the south." The emperor's position of governing the world from the south has been in place since ancient times and has never been changed. Formal administrative agencies and official offices were arranged to the south of the emperor's residence, and they were collectively called "Nan Yamen". ", called "Nan Yafu soldiers".
The reason for this is that the presence of the emperor's personal army, the pro-army, is becoming more and more important. This meaning was added to distinguish the central army from the emperor's pro-army. In other words, the country's regular army belongs to The Central Army was under the jurisdiction of Nanya, so it was called the Nanya Forbidden Army.
In contrast, the north side is the emperor's private personal space.
The relationship between the north and the south is expressed as an outside-inside relationship, with the south as the outside and the north as the inside. The Xuanwu Gate, which is equivalent to the north gate, is the emperor's private, or informally used city gate. All formal activities such as fortune-telling, etc., are governed by the It is stipulated that the south main entrance from Chengtian Gate to Zhuque Gate should be used.
In short, the Nanya government soldiers are the soldiers of the Suwei guards in the capital. According to Xiangji, among the sixteen guards, the fourteenth guards are included, while the Beiya imperial guards include the "hundred cavalry" of the Suwei palace, stationed in Xuanwu. There were guards stationed on the left and right of the gate, as well as personal guards composed of meritorious disciples recruited by the emperor.
The soldiers of Nanya Mansion fought all over the world and were invincible, but everyone knew that the Imperial Guards of Beiya Mansion were the elite among the elites of the Tang Dynasty army.
After all, these are the emperor's personal soldiers!
Wang Jingze shook his sleeves, straightened his clothes, and walked towards the gate of Wangjiang Tower with a calm face.
Shen Zong composed himself and had no choice but to follow closely.
"Stop! Who of you dare to break into this place without permission?"
As soon as he reached the door, there were soldiers on the left and right shouting loudly. Two people even jumped off their horses and stepped forward to push them away.
Before Shen Zong and Wang Jing could react, the private soldiers behind them could no longer stand. They rushed forward with loud curses and knocked the two forbidden soldiers to the ground.
The Shen family of Wuxing has been strong and powerful for generations, dominating Wucheng. Have you ever seen a direct descendant of the family being humiliated like this? It doesn’t matter what the south and north are. When you reach the border of Jiangdong, if it is a dragon, you have to coil up, and if it is a tiger, you have to lie down!
Shen Zong's hair almost stood on end and he shouted: "Stop!"
What he was afraid of was not the Beiya Imperial Guards, but that since the Beiya Imperial Guards appeared here, it meant that King Wei Li Tai must be in the store. At this moment, he had collided with these Imperial Guards. If he was detained by someone who "intended to be detrimental to the King of Wei" The crime would be a big deal!
But he was still a step too late. As soon as the private soldiers of the Shen family behind him took action, the imperial guards who were watching eagerly from the side all jumped off their horses with a "crash". These sturdy men were well-trained, and some of them drew their horizontal swords. The perimeter was guarded to prevent anyone from escaping, and the other group rushed over like wolves and tigers. They did not draw their swords, but the horizontal swords and scabbards were smashed down without thinking. It was almost just a face-to-face effort. The originally menacing All the private soldiers of the Shen family were put to death.
The battle was fierce and chaotic. Shen Zong was tripped to the ground and screamed in fear. Wang Jing could not calm down. His crown was knocked crooked, someone kicked him on the back, and his robes were all damaged. The man was torn apart and shouted: "Stop, stop!"
I don't know who shouted: "Get down here!"
Wang Jing felt his eyes go dark, and a big fist hit his face hard. First, stars jumped in front of his eyes, and then everything went dark, and he fell to the sky.
Shen Zong was horrified and shouted: "Brother Wang!" When he saw Wang Jing lying on the ground with his eyes closed and nosebleeds flowing from his face, he was so frightened that he wanted to go forward to check, but he was held down tightly by someone behind him. On the ground, unable to move.
