When Liu Mingming and others were taken down, they were still crying and shouting for King An to spare their life.

Unfortunately, Zhang Wence did not hear King An's voice sound again. It is obvious that this generation of wise king who did not deliberately show his oppression did not intend to give him a glimpse just because Liu Mingming was an old man in the royal family.

Fortunately, Zhang Wence himself was not among the officials who were taken down. He and another county magistrate were still lying on the ground, and the soldiers did not attack them when they came in.

However, whether it was the other county magistrate who had already gray-bearded or Zhang Wence himself, the sweat was flowing on his face at this time than Liu Mingming and others.

At this moment, they didn't even have the courage to look up, and could only stare at the floor that was already soaked in sweat, fearing and terrifying.

"Okay, you two get up."

King An's voice came again, clearly and clearly, and there was a hint of closeness in addition to stability. Although it was still very thin, it was enough to make Zhang Wence and the others breathe a sigh of relief. At least, this showed that King An did not mean to drag them out to behead them.

Zhang Wence and the old county magistrate stood up and stood with their heads down. King An said that they would get up, but they did not dare to move without letting them sit.

"Mr. Zhang County Magistrate, Magistrate Qian... You two don't have to be nervous. Since the Gu Wang didn't ask anyone to drag you down, you won't do anything to you suddenly. You just raise your head and let Gu Wang see what the capable officials under Gu Wang's command look like."

There seemed to be a little smile in King An's voice, which made Zhang Wence and County Magistrate Qian feel a lot more relaxed.

Before, Zhang Wence had never dared to look at King An and observed how handsome the other party was. Now, he raised his head according to King An's instructions, and he could finally see the existence who could truly dominate his destiny and how handsome the beautiful god was.

On the three-foot platform - from the bottom of my heart, three-foot is not high - there is a black lacquer desk that is larger than an ordinary desk, with two stacks of document books piled up on it. The person behind the desk is wide-body, but it does not look bloated, which is far from the image of Zhang Wence's imagination of a tiger-back and bear-back waist.

The first thing to do is the black king robe. A pair of unicorns tattooed on the robe are scattered and their claws are scattered. The two pairs of eyes are lifelike, which is particularly eye-catching, making people feel fear when they see it. The upper body is sitting slanted with the elbow leaning against the back with the right elbow, and the posture looks a bit unrestrained, relaxed and leisurely.

As his eyes moved, Zhang Wence finally saw the face of King An for the first time. He couldn't help but hold his breathing in his heart. It was a strong face, with majestic eyebrows and deep eyes, like lightning, giving people a sense of impact full of wisdom and power of thunder.

As soon as he touched those eyes, Zhang Wence could not control himself and could not help but tremble his shoulders.

A king has no fixed face, and beauty and ugliness do not affect the achievement of great achievements. But if the king has a pair of different eyes, Zhang Wence will definitely be sure, that is the eyes in front of him!

Zhang Wence was absent and rude for a moment, but he soon came back to his senses and quickly lowered his head.

Zhang Wence felt that King An's eyes fell on him.

King An said in a light tone that controls everything, without any haste, "Zhang Wence, you have been the magistrate of Wei County for half a year, and your political achievements have been effective. In the whole of Weizhou, you are the most properly implemented in Wei County and meet the standards that satisfy the orphan king. Qingyi Yamen replied that most of the people of Wei County praised your reputation, which shows that you did a good job."

Zhang Wence hurriedly said, "The official dare not be praised by His Highness. The official is ashamed."

He saw King An smile and seemed to be ashamed of him, but he didn't care much, "The Lord King knows why you feel guilty. When Liu Mingming was rampant in Weizhou, you surrendered to his power and offered a lot of money every month. Just now, the Lord King hoped that when you told you the truth about the political situation in Weizhou, you did not stand up."

Zhang Wence was secretly ashamed, he really thought so.

Being in the officialdom and bribing Shangguan is a serious crime everywhere.

When Zhang Wence was in charge of Wei County, because Wei County was rich and the canal was very rich, Liu Mingming set a standard for sharing monthly money. Zhang Wence gave Liu Mingming a lot of money, and Liu Mingming certainly would not forget him. Whether it was for the purpose of pulling him into the water or appeaseing him, he would not lose all benefits.

So over the past six months, Zhang Wence's pocket has also become bulging, and he has the reality of "filling his personal pockets".

On the one hand, Zhang Wence felt that this was helpless, but on the other hand, he was secretly happy. No one would refuse to have his pockets and live a better life. If he could eat good meat, he would eat good meat, he would drink good wine, and if he wanted to sleep with beautiful women, he would take good concubines.

Zhang Wence is not a sage. He also likes these things and did it indeed.

If he were a sage, he would not have stood up when King An asked about Weizhou just now.

However, unlike Liu Mingming, he did not forget to make the people live better when his life improved. Moreover, most of the time, he puts the people's status of living and working in peace and contentment before personal enjoyment, which is also the prerequisite for him to be a little at ease when drinking and eating meat.

If he had forgotten the moral persistence of Confucian scholars, he would not have insisted on spending a lot of effort to rectify the military defense of Weixian County in the face of the threat of Yicheng Army.

However, only by Zhang Wence's actions of bribing Shangguan and filling his pockets, King An could imprison him, and he had no room for refutation.

Therefore, even though King An was not stern at the moment, Zhang Wence was nervous.

However, King An did not ask about his crime, but instead said in a magnanimous and wise tone: "You have indeed bribed Liu Mingming a lot of money in the past six months, and you have also gained a lot of benefits. If this alone is the case, you should indeed be imprisoned."

"However, the Lone King does not look at people with one eye. Your political achievements in Weizhou cannot be ignored. The lives of the people of Weizhou have indeed been much better because of you. Especially when facing the threat of the Yi army, you can decisively rectify the military defense of Wei County, and offend the powerful and evil gentry, so that the Lone King can see the responsibility that a Confucian scholar should have."

Hearing these words, Zhang Wence was as relaxed and at slight relief as he could not say, and his throat was vaguely itchy. When he was rectifying the military defense of Wei County, he was actually very angry with the gentry and local tyrants, and in the end he was almost killed by Liu Mingming, and he felt wronged.

Now that King An has recognized these actions, Zhang Wence suddenly felt that a soulmate was right in front of him.

King An is indeed wise and wise, unlike those who are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but do not know how difficult it is to do practical things and are the hardships of being a capable official, and you will know that you will be a righteous critic of the bureaucrats. Being able to do a job under such a king is a blessing that is hard to come by.

However, King An's next words made Zhang Wence feel cold.

King An's voice was cold, revealing some dissatisfaction and a little disappointment, which made Zhang Wence feel ashamed, "The Lord of the Lord thought that you could always stick to the moral bottom line of Confucian scholars and not forget the original aspiration of Confucian scholars. But unexpectedly, when the Lord of the Lord asked about Weizhou, you did not stand up and tell the Lord of the Lord even a truth. Zhang Wence, do you know that the Lord of the Lord had high hopes for you and hope that you could become a role model for the local officials? Your words and deeds today really disappointed and sad!"

"Your Highness!" Zhang Wence knelt down on the ground. When he heard the words "high hope", "role model", "disappointment", and "heartache", he could no longer control his emotions and could not help but cry.

He knew that he missed the most important opportunity to rewrite the fate of a person's life and future.

The king who dominated nine towns and dozens of states could know how rare it was for him, a mere county magistrate, and how glorious it was to him, but he failed the other party.

He also let down his identity as a Confucian scholar, his ambition to govern the country and pacify the world, and his father's teachings before his death. At no moment, Zhang Wence was ashamed and ashamed as he is now.

He regretted, he blamed himself, he knew that his choice was wrong, and he should not give up his original intention and join Liu Mingming.

He never regretted and blamed himself like this.

But there is no medicine for regret in the world.

Just when Zhang Wence felt that the sky had fallen, King An got up from the master's seat, walked around the desk, walked down, and came to him. In his regretful and nervous mood, he held his arms.

"Your Highness, Prince An?" Zhang Wence looked up at amazement, at a loss.

How could a king reach out to help a metropolitan county magistrate?

And it's not a false support!

Since ancient times, there has been no punishment for doctors and no courtesy for common people. There is a difference in the social superiority and inferiority, and the hierarchy is very strict.

At this moment, a wise and wise king actually came to help him, a county magistrate who was guilty and had the moral standards of Confucian scholars?

Zhang Wence sighed with a complicated expression when he saw King An. His deep, wise, and thunderous eyes were staring at him seriously with some expectations, "It is not easy to be an official, but why is it easy to be a king? The Lone King conquered all directions, ruled nine towns and dozens of states, and was awake at night. The difficulty was not smaller than you. The Lone King wanted nothing else, but I hope that those who were ambitious could work together and work hard with the Lone King, and in this chaotic world, support the Tang Dynasty's country and save the difficulties together."

"Kunxing, Gu Wang will ask you now, are you willing to fight side by side with Gu Wang for the Tang Dynasty starting today? "

Zhang Wence stood there, almost thinking that he had heard it wrong.

At this time, King An didn't even dislike him and was willing to give him a chance to reform himself?

"Your Highness, Prince An!" Zhang Wence bowed to the ground again, burst into tears, and his heart was surging. "Wence is willing to hold the horse and stirrup for His Highness, only asking to repay his sins!"

At this moment, Zhang Wence secretly swore that even if he died in battle for King An and buried the yellow sand in the bones, he would never complain and would be willing to accept it.

Zhang Wence felt the powerful arms and helped him up again.

Zhang Wence could not describe his mood, or even could not speak, and could only look at the majestic King An in front of him with a look of a soldier as a confidant.

King An pressed his hands heavily on his shoulders.

At that moment, I wonder if it was an illusion, but Zhang Wence felt that King An had pressed all the rivers and mountains on his shoulders.

If it weren't for Heshan, how could he feel that this press was so heavy?

He watched King An walk back to the master's seat, turned around and stood with his hands behind his back, looked at him with a bright look, and shouted: "Zhang Wence, the Lord wants to regard you as the governor of Weizhou and command the military and political affairs of Weizhou. Are you willing to take this important position and share the worries of the Lord?"

Zhang Wence was shocked.

His gaze was dazed, as if the sun had set in front of him.

He bowed without hesitation and replied in the most sacred and powerful voice: "If you can share your worries, Wen Ce will never regret it even if he dies!"

At that moment, he understood that what fell before him was not the sun, but his original intention and ambition.
