Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 403
Zhang Taiwei won the imperial court for the first time. After a narration by Mr. Dongyi, all officials agreed to the conquest of Goguryeo. As long as this guy shut up, let alone Goguryeo, you just want to do Guishuang and we will all No objection!
Zhang Wen was overjoyed, and recruited Mr. Dongyi to his Taiwei's mansion, thinking that he would reuse him. Let's see who dares to oppose the old man in the future!

After the court meeting ended, he organized [-] newly trained soldiers to go to Youzhou. For this expedition, Sun Jian also sent part of the southern army to go there, but he did not follow him. Wen didn't need to use [-] soldiers. In Youzhou, the big Han had at least [-] troops, and these troops were experienced soldiers who had fought many battles.

They are also familiar with the local climate and terrain, and using them to conquer will surely resolve the war quickly.

However, Zhang Wen still wants to take these soldiers there. In his opinion, the new army can only become an elite soldier after going through war. His purpose of going this time is to train soldiers. As he is getting old, he may not be able to take this position. How many years have passed, before I leave, I have to train a few more strong troops for the big man, so that I can leave with peace of mind!

Dong Zhuo and Huangfusong heard the temple's edict, and quickly began to prepare for the crusade. The military supplies were also transported to the north by water. According to Taiwei Zhang Wen's request, they were mainly concentrated in Dongmen, Lelang County, Xuantu County, and Xinzhou Qinzhong County, Zhang Wen's military deployment is obviously easy to see through. He wants to carry out conquests from these four directions.

The first year of Xiping, February

Anding Linjing County,
Ide Huanglong
Many ministers in the court hated Zhang Wen very much. He also became the fourth minister who was hated by the ministers besides Wang Fu, Zhang He, and Jia Xu. He can die in Goguryeo and never come back again. The national power of the Han Dynasty is getting stronger day by day. It is not a good thing to have such a warlike Taiwei.

The emperor ordered Xing Ziang to fill in the vacancies in the court. Earlier, Emperor Xiaokang gave Xing Ziang a list for him to reuse. After thinking about it, Xing Ziang transferred some of them back to Luoyang to fill the vacancies in the court. Only then did he have free time to accompany Rao Yang, the Empress Dowager and others, and wanted to go to Yeting from time to time, but the Empress Dowager did not allow it.

On this day, Xing Ziang came to the palace.

I present a watch in my hand, hoping that the emperor can check these ministers who are about to enter the court as officials. Hanmen went out soon, smiling, and greeted Xing Ziang for a while before bringing Xing Ziang in. For some reason, Xing Ziang was very displeased With such a hypocritical smile on Han Men's face, he still likes Song Dian in the past, he was serious in doing things and didn't talk nonsense, what a pity.
When Xing Ziang walked into Houde Hall, the emperor was not alone in the hall.

The other person stood in Houde Hall, wearing extremely shabby clothes with many repair marks on them. Xing Ziang frowned. As a big Han official, it is good to be diligent and frugal, but wearing this way not only loses face , and there was some meaning of deceit, which made Xing Ziang very displeased. He bowed his hands to the emperor and said: "See you, Your Majesty!"

The little fat man laughed, stood up, and said, "Jun Xing is here, come, sit down!"

He pointed to the distance, and Xing Ziang was taken aback. Then he realized that the Son of Heaven was not sitting on his knees. There was a strange wooden utensil on the ground. He laughed loudly and said: "This thing is called a Hu chair, and it is a seat for people outside the Great Wall. It is much more comfortable to make than kneeling!"

"Ma Yilang made improvements on the Hu chair. Look, you can rely on it here. I don't feel tired after reviewing memorials on weekdays, hahaha~~~" the little fat man said happily.

Xing Ziang frowned, looked at Ma Jun at the side, and said, "You dedicated this thing to the Son of Heaven?"

"The minister pays homage to the Minister's order."

"Let me ask you, did you present this thing to His Majesty?!?" Xing Ziang's face suddenly became solemn.

"Indeed"

"As Yilang, you should care more about the important affairs of the people, instead of flattering and pleasing the emperor, do you understand?" Xing Ziang said this very bluntly, Ma Jun was stunned, lowered his head, and said nothing. The little fat man's face gradually became dignified, he squinted his eyes, but he didn't say anything. Seeing Ma Jun's appearance, Xing Ziang said with some displeasure:
"I still have important matters to discuss with His Majesty, so you can leave."

"Let me take my leave." Ma Jun cupped his hands and said.

"Also, your clothes are not so simple when Wen Rengong was alive in the past, you should change them! You can't let go of everything!"

As Xing Ziang said, Ma Jun trembled all over, nodded, and walked out.

Walking out of the gate of the palace, Ma Jun stopped, stretched out his hand, and stroked his clothes with tears in his eyes.

The little fat man squinted his eyes and sat on the chair. Xing Ziang didn't appreciate it. He knelt in front of the little fat man and reported the affairs of the court and the newly promoted officials one by one. The little fat man listened carefully and nodded. Said: "That's right." He laughed again, and said: "With Mr. Xing in the court, I have less worries."

"Your Majesty's reputation is too high. The minister will leave." Xing Ziang bowed.

The little fat man smiled, Xing Ziang got up slowly,

"Boom~~", the little fat man punched the copybook, his face became extremely fierce, he roared: "I will let you back down???"

Xing Ziang was startled, bowed quickly, and said, "I'm guilty!"

The little fat man stood up slowly, walked to Xing Ziang's side, and said, "You are my father's confidant, and you are also the one who has followed the longest. You are a model of morality. Yes." The little fat man slowly approached Xing Ziang, and said seriously: " I am the Son of Heaven!"

"Your Majesty. My minister."

"I didn't let you talk!!!"

"In this palace, in this world, there is no one, nor can anyone, give orders for me!!"

The little fat man said coldly, then sat back on his seat, and said, "Please sit down, Mr. Xing." Xing Ziang's body trembled slightly, and he sat down, "Sit on the chair!"

Xing Ziang carefully sat on the chair.

The little fat man suddenly laughed again, and asked gently: "How is it, but it's much more comfortable?"

"Going back to His Majesty, it is much more comfortable."

"Mr. Xing, since it is comfortable and easy to use, why bother talking about etiquette?" The little fat man said helplessly. Just now, Xing Ziang had been persuading him that it was not proper for a king to sit on a beard chair. The little fat man continued: " What's wrong with Ma Jun?"

"Ma Jun is good at work. He presented me with a picture of a waterwheel today. Do you know how important it is to the people's livelihood if this waterwheel can be made to irrigate thousands of miles of crops and mulberries?"

"I know that Emperor Xiaokang and you all disdain these things, but I am different. I think that as long as it can benefit the country and the people, no matter whether he is Hu or Huaxia, I will dare to be rude." use!"

"Novelty things are so ignored by you. The things you and I use today are not novelty things according to the ancestors?"

Xing Ziang lowered his head, his mind went blank for a while, and he was speechless. The emperor's fury just now made him feel a little dazed.

"Mr. Xing, I'm a little tired"

"The minister retire"

"Xing Jun, remember, you can't go too far. If you don't know, don't rush to criticize. Ma Jun's clothes were left by Wen Rengong. Ma Jun came to see Father for the first time. He was wearing this dress. Since Wen Ren When the Duke passed away, Ma Jun seldom spoke, was depressed, and mourned by hearing the remains of the Duke, how can you bear such accusations?"

Xing Ziang was ashamed and speechless.

When he walked out of the palace, in the cold wind, he just came back to his senses, he still had some resistance to these things in his heart, he didn't want the emperor to indulge in these things and forget about the important affairs of the country, but he was not so concerned Pedantic, if it is beneficial to the people, he is still willing to support it. Today's emperor is different from Emperor Xiaokang.

Emperor Xiaokang didn't value these things. He once said that this little Daoer, but the emperor is still young and grew up with Ma Jun. It is normal for him to be curious about these things, but don't indulge in them when you go. , Xing Ziang thought helplessly, he summoned the chariots and horses, and walked towards Ma Jun's mansion, he wanted to apologize to Ma Jun face to face.

"You want an officer?"

Wang Fu sneered, looking at Prince Guishuang in front of him.

Ni Sejia said with some helplessness: "My lord, I want to participate in the assessment, but the officials don't allow it, because I am not a Han, and my friend, Lord Dongyi, is now an official under the account of the Taiwei, and I also want to stay in Han as an official." Officer, I have been with the Taiyuan Academy for several years, and I know the scriptures and rituals."

"Is it?"

"It is so."

Wang Fu looked at him, then took out a few sheets of paper from under the case, casually wrote the beginning of some scriptures and poems, and handed these to the prince, who quickly started to write, Wang Fu frowned. Brows, after looking at it for a while, his handwriting is still good, there are no mistakes in writing, and even the meaning of it is written under it.

After finishing writing, the prince carefully handed the poem to Wang Fu, and said respectfully, "I hope you will review it."

Wang Fu just took a few glances, and said: "It doesn't make sense. However, it's better than the mediocre and incompetent people in the court, and it can be an official." He wrote another order casually, saying: "The Take this order to Cai Yong and ask him to give you the qualification for the assessment, and you will be able to take the assessment with many students next time."

The prince held the warrant of the Wang Talisman and was extremely excited. He hurriedly saluted and said, "Thank you, my lord!"

"Prince!"

The servant hurried in, frowning, with a solemn expression. Wang Fu was taken aback. Seeing his solemn expression, he curled his lips, looked at the prince, and said, "Then you go away." He didn't want to say much. Said, the prince thanked you again and again, and then left Wang Fu's mansion. After he left, the servant said: "My lord. The soil around Luoyang is full of eggs, white with yellow, just like what the lord said."

Wang Fu clenched his fists and frowned.

In these years, Luoyang has never encountered any disasters. However, Luoyang has seldom never rained, and the drought has lasted for a long time. As early as in Wang Fu's theory of potential husbands, he put forward the theory that a long drought must lead to locust plagues This is what he discovered after long-term observation when he was in Xiliang. He once cultivated in Xiliang, and he dug out such white eggs from the land. There were very many of them. Afterwards, a large-scale locust plague broke out in Xiliang .

At this time, Wang Fu understood that the saying that the locusts were transformed from fish and shrimp is not reliable at all, locusts are just insects, but, in times of drought, he can lay more eggs, if locusts appear in Luoyang, That's not a good thing, Luo Yang is the most important thing in the world, Wang Fu has sent these confidantes to search around, unexpectedly, he really found something.

Wang Fu frowned, took some paper from the copybook, and said, "You take me there now."

Afterwards, Wang Fu visited around the Sili area, and found a large number of locust eggs in Luoyang, Pingxian, Pingyin, Gucheng and other areas, which made Wang Fu's expression become more dignified. He quickly recorded and marked the areas he found one by one. He wanted to wipe out the locusts before they appeared, although it was very difficult.

But he is Wang Fu, he just wants to do what others can't do!
Arriving in Zhongmou County, Wang Fu led his subordinates and rushed to the farmland in a hurry.

Around the cultivated land, many farmers were watching them quietly, a little puzzled, not knowing what they were going to do, Wang Fu took off his clothes, and lay down on the land, scratching the soil with his hands, and the followers did not Idle, looking around one by one, Wang Fu frowned, lying on the soil, a hole was dug here, in the hole, you can see a pile of white and yellow insect eggs condensed together with the concrete.

Alas, there are also here, no good, it seems that such a large-scale disaster will occur in the entire Sili area, and we must prepare early, otherwise, if the Sili area is hit by a disaster, it will not only hurt the people, but also affect the prestige of today's emperor. It is also a huge blow, this place is at the feet of the emperor, and the people are so ignorant, what kind of locust god are they talking about now!
He took out a pen, ink and paper, and began to record the disaster here.

"Pfft~~"

Wang Fu trembled.

At some point, a man dressed as a farmer stabbed the dagger in the prince's back fiercely. The people around him were not relieved for a moment. The man gritted his teeth and stabbed fiercely, repeatedly After stabbing it seven or eight times, snow bloomed on the prince's clothes like plum blossoms. The surrounding followers roared and rushed up, throwing the man down.

The surrounding farmers suddenly took out daggers from their sleeves, roared angrily, and rushed towards Wang Fu.

Wang Fu's followers were furious and drew their swords one after another to fight them.

The prince was lying on the soil with the dagger stuck in his back. Blood dripped from his mouth, staining his white beard red, and his sleeves were also stained with blood. Trembling, he picked up the pen, After writing it on paper, seeing his appearance, those dead soldiers knew in their hearts that this guy had discovered that they had been hired by someone, and rushed towards the prince recklessly.

The entourage of the prince is all the elite of the army, and many of them are gifted by the emperor. Their combat power is so powerful that these assassins cannot match it. Seeing the prince being injured, they feel great hatred in their hearts Fighting all their lives, the assassins fell in front of them one by one. No one wanted to be captured alive by them. If they lost their combat power, they would commit suicide immediately.

The battle gradually ended, and the prince's bloody hand could no longer hold the pen and ink.

The prince fell on this piece of soil, his blood blended with the soil, and his head was quietly placed on his wrist.

On March [-]th, the prince was assassinated by Zhongmu and died on the spot.

The world shakes.

The Son of Heaven was sitting in the Hall of Houde, trembling all over, his eyes were bloodshot, in front of him was the handwriting of the prince before his death, and in front of him were records of locust eggs from all over the place. The bloody handwriting was written by him before his death.

After the prince was assassinated, 26 of the guards who followed him committed suicide, and the rest also handed over the suicide note to the emperor with tears in their eyes. A shrewd person like the prince must have discovered the identities of the assassins. I also hope that His Majesty can severely punish the traitors!Avenge the prince!

The little fat man cried in a low voice, and the prince's manuscript slipped from his hand and slowly drifted.

A line of crooked writing can be clearly seen on it.

The prince did not finish writing this line.

He ordered a large number of chickens and ducks to be raised in various places, and locusts must be afraid of poultry, and they are afraid of fire.

"You are a mere yellow worm, and you are also worthy to pick up my Wang Jiexin?"

"Hahaha~~~~"
