Chapter seven hundred and seventy-fifth sellers for glory
Zimi slashed with his sword several times before finally cutting off Lu's neck. He lifted up Lu's severed head, deliberately shook the blood to the ground, and then put it into Lu's own sewing machine.
In that pocket.
Peng Chong and Lu Shi thought that Zimi asked them to sew the pockets just to store more money. In fact, what Zimi wanted to contain was their own heads.
After installing Lu's head, Ziyi and Zichu were still standing there stupidly, staring at him blankly. He said angrily: "What are you waiting for? Do it quickly! Otherwise, the guards will wake up and none of us can run away!"
Ziyi and Zichu just woke up from a dream. They looked at Peng Chong's body lying on the ground and couldn't take action.
Zimi glared at them both, then stepped forward with his sword in hand. This time he was fast enough and cut off Peng Chong's neck with just two sword strikes. As the saying goes, once is raw, twice is familiar.
Putting Peng Chong's head into his pocket, Zimi looked out the window and said, "As soon as it gets dark, we will leave the city!"
Peng Chong took refuge with Liu Xiu earlier. When Liu Xiu was in Hebei and was being chased by Wang Lang, Peng Chong surrendered to Liu Xiu and sent Wu Han, Wang Liang and many other talents to Liu Xiu. When Liu Xiu was in
During the battle ahead, Peng Chong was stationed in Yuyang County, constantly delivering troops, horses, grain, grass, and supplies to Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu also had the support of Shanggu and Yuyang to compete with Wang Lang.
The capital of superiority.
Even if he did not directly fight on the front line, Peng Chong made great contributions to Liu Xiu and was a veritable minister who helped Liu Xiu conquer Hebei. Liu Xiu treated Peng Chong well, making him a Marquis of Jianzhong and giving him the title of General.
Number.
If Peng Chong does not rebel, given his achievements, it is not an exaggeration to describe him as having a promising future in the Luoyang court. yyls
But Peng Chong and Zhu Fu didn't get along. Zhu Fu went to Shu to impeach Peng Chong again and again. Moreover, most of Zhu Fu's impeachments were frame-ups and unnecessary things. They were deliberately suppressing Peng Chong and putting Peng Chong's shoes on.
This became the direct reason for Peng Chong's rebellion. And the fundamental reason for Peng Chong's rebellion was the lack of people's hearts.
He believed that his contribution to Liu Xiu was enough to make him a king, but Liu Xiu only made him a marquis, which made Peng Chong very disappointed in Liu Xiu.
But Peng Chong never looked back and saw that so many ministers with great achievements in the court were only granted the title of marquis, including the then Grand Situ Deng Yu, the Grand Sima Wu Han and others.
Liu Xiu inherited the Han Dynasty and held high the banner of restoring the Han Dynasty. Naturally, he had to abide by the ancestral precepts of the Han Dynasty, which was not to grant kings with different surnames.
Peng Chong felt that Liu Xiu was unfair to him, and coupled with Zhu Fu's repeated frame-ups, he took advantage of Luoyang to send troops to the west, south, and east at the same time to fight on three fronts. He gave Liu Xiu a blow and rebelled in Yuyang.
This is not the most hateful thing. The most hateful thing is that in order to win strong allies, Peng Chong colluded with Zhang Bu in the south, and Peng Chong colluded with the Xiongnu in the north. He even did not hesitate to introduce the Huns into Youzhou to join forces against Liu Xiu.
It can be said that in the last two years, Peng Chong completely destroyed the good reputation he had accumulated for most of his life. Even in his hometown of Yuyang County, there were countless people who hated Peng Chong.
As the Luoyang court ended the Western Expedition, the Southern Expedition and the Eastern Expedition became more and more successful, and Liu Xiu was finally free to deal with Peng Chong.
Peng Chong, who was prosperous and prosperous in Youzhou, came to an end. Facing the Han army, who was as brave as a wolf and a tiger, Peng Chong was no match for him, so he had no choice but to retreat back to Yuyang to take refuge.
The arrival of Xi Cheying gave Peng Chong a way to do the same thing in return. Peng Chong betrayed his trust and betrayed his clients in pursuit of glory, which caused Liu Xiu's rebellion. In the end, he himself died of betrayal and betrayal in pursuit of glory.
in human hands.
This may really be in line with the saying that retribution is unsatisfactory in the cycle of heaven. The rebels will eventually die at the hands of the rebels.
Zimi and his three men killed Peng Chong and Lu and his wife, cut off their heads and put them in their pockets. Then they took these two sacks and four packages filled with gold and left the palace.
Run out of the city.
It was already dark and Yuyang City was closed, but the three Zimi people brought Peng Chong's handwriting. When the officers and soldiers guarding the city saw the king's handwriting, they did not dare to stop them. They opened the city gate and let the three of them out of the city.
When they arrived outside the city, the three of them galloped forward for another five or six miles before reining in their horses.
Zi Mi, Zi Yi and Zi Chu all couldn't help laughing. Zi Chu said with excitement: "Brother Mi, I didn't expect that we would leave the city so smoothly. When we get to Luoyang, we brothers will have a good life."
Bar!"
Zi Mi nodded repeatedly, his eyes were shining, and his face was full of longing, and he said: "We will be slaves all our lives. When we get to Luoyang, we will all be marquises and can live a life of masters!"
As he spoke, he untied the two bags tied to the saddle, handed them to Ziyi and Zichu respectively, and said: "Take these two bags and we will rely on them to seal your trip to Luoyang."
Where is Prime Minister Hou Bai!"
Zi Yi and Zi Chu looked at the bloody cloth bag, feeling both excited and terrified. They grinned and did not dare to stretch out their hands.
Zimi rolled his eyes at them and said: "Everyone is dead, what are you two afraid of? This is not the head, but the seal and ribbon of the Marquis!"
Hearing what he said, Zi Yi and Zi Chu both had smiles on their faces. They both stretched out their hands, took a bag, and lowered their heads to tie it to their saddles.
Just when the two of them lowered their heads and tied their pockets, Zi Mi suddenly drew out his sword, and there was a swish sound, and the sword edge flashed past Zi Yi's neck.
Ziyi didn't even realize what was going on. With a pop, a blood arrow spurted out from his neck. His body on the horse shook a few times and fell sideways.
Zi Mi didn't pause for a moment. After slitting Zi Yi's throat with a sword, another sword stabbed straight into Zi Chu's chest.
The bag in Zichu's hand fell to the ground. He subconsciously grabbed the sword, then slowly raised his head, looked at Zimi in disbelief, and said intermittently: "Mi...Brother Mi, you...how could you..."
Zimi wanted to pull the sword back, but Zichu's grip was too tight, and blood flowed down through the gaps between his fingers. Zimi simply stopped pulling out the sword, and pushed the sword outward with all his strength.
Unable to sit still on the horse, he rolled over.
Later, Zimi also turned over and dismounted, and looked at Zichu who was lying on the ground with his hands still holding the sword tightly and his eyes still looking at him. He swallowed and said with insufficient confidence: "Brother, aren't you?
Come on, this title can only be claimed by one person. If three people go together, who do you want your Majesty to give the title to?"
Logically speaking, the title of marquis should be given to him. After all, he is the mastermind. He is not afraid of 10,000 yuan, but just in case, if His Majesty takes a liking to Ziyi, or likes Zichu, and gives him the title of marquis.
If you are a human being, who can you ask to reason with? By then, your intestines will turn green.
He has already accomplished this step, and he does not allow any more deviations. Therefore, instead of doing the same thing and receiving the reward together, it is better for him to receive the reward alone. In this case, it is impossible.
What happens again is that the flower falls in another house.
While Zi Mi was talking, he picked up a big stone on the side of the road, walked up to Zi Chu, and said, "You and Zi Yi will go on the road first. When the holidays come, I will kill chickens and sheep to worship you two."
!”
"You...you..." Zichu opened and closed his mouth, but all he spit out was blood.
Zimi no longer gave him a chance to speak. He raised a big stone, aimed it at Zichu's head, and hit him hard. Once, twice...
He didn't come to an end until Zichu's head was smashed to pieces, with red and white lumps splattering all over the floor.
Seeing that his head was about to be smashed to pieces, he couldn't help but retched twice. After a while, Zimi put two bags and even four parcels on his horse.
, and then rode straight to Luoyang.
The bodies of Peng Chong and Lu were discovered the next morning.
Later, Peng Chong's son Peng Wu succeeded to the throne of King Yan, but Peng Chong failed to pass the first seven years. The national counselor Han Li led the rebellion and not only killed Peng Wu, but also wiped out the entire Peng family. Then Han Li took Peng Chong with him.
At noon, he surrendered to the Han army.
At this point, the rebellion in the north caused by Peng Chong came to an end. The Peng family did not die in the hands of Liu Xiu, but were killed by his ministers, which was their fault for defecting to the Han Dynasty.
Speaking of Zimi, after killing his two companions and accomplices, Ziyi and Zichu, he traveled all the way, eating and sleeping in the open, day and night, and finally arrived in Luoyang.
I heard that Peng Chong's slave Zimi had brought Peng Chong's head to Luoyang. Just outside the palace, Liu Xiu personally summoned him.
In the court hall, Liu Xiu was sitting on the throne, surrounded by ministers on both sides.
A Yulin guard put the heads of Peng Chong and Lu in a box and placed them in the court hall. The ministers present stretched their necks to look inside the box. After seeing Peng Chong's severed head clearly, Liu Xiu secretly sighed.
He said that if Peng Chong did not rebel and guarded Yuyang County with all due diligence, with Peng Chong's achievements, he would let Peng Chong remain the local emperor of Yuyang County for generations to come. Unfortunately, he decided to rebel on his own. Now
It is really sad to end up like this.
Liu Xiu turned his eyes and looked at Zi Mi, who was kneeling in the hall with his forehead on the ground, not daring to raise his head at all, and asked: "Your name is Zi Mi?"
"Yes...it's small."
"How did you kill Peng Chong? Raise your head and speak!"
After hearing this, Zi Mi slowly raised his head and glanced at Liu Xiu. He immediately lowered his head and told in detail how he, Zi Yi and Zi Chu killed Peng Chong and Lu.
Of course, he did not mention the killing of Zi Yi and Zi Chu in the end, but said that both of them died at the hands of the pursuers. He himself also narrowly escaped death and escaped from Yuyang County without any danger.
Arrive at Luoyang.
He attributed this to the fact that Liu Xiuhong was so blessed that he was the destined emperor. Even God protected him and allowed him to come to Luoyang smoothly and present the heads of the rebels to the emperor.
Zimi was born as a domestic slave and was very good at flattering and flattering people. He did it all without thinking, he just opened his mouth.
It's just that his flattery can fool Peng Chong, but it is undoubtedly a joke to fool Liu Xiu and even the officials present.
Listening to Zi Mi's story, people secretly frowned. Zi Mi killed Peng Chong, which was a tribute to the Han Dynasty, but it must be said that his behavior was disgusting.
At that time, people generally valued virtue. The quality of a person's virtue directly affected the perception of others around him. Sellers seeking glory and betraying their trust are not moral matters after all.
The officials looked at Zi Mi with complicated eyes, most of them showing ridicule and sarcasm.
After Zi Mi finished speaking, Liu Xiu nodded and said, "I have indeed spoken. Anyone who can kill Peng Chong can be a prince!"
When Zimi heard this, his body trembled with excitement. He kowtowed forward repeatedly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, my dear! Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
Liu Xiu's expression was incomprehensible as he looked at Zimi, who was kowtowing like a fool. Zimi, as a domestic slave, secretly murdered his master. This kind of behavior is disgusting.
If he made him a marquis, I'm afraid his reputation would be damaged. If he didn't make him a marquis, then he would have gone back on his word. It really made Liu Xiu feel embarrassed whether he should be made a prince or not.
Just at this moment, Zhang Kun coughed. Liu Xiu turned to look at him and saw Zhang Kun looking at him with a strange expression. Liu Xiu said: "Zhang Kun, come here!"
