Liu Yuansheng was very happy. He became an official, Taipusi Qing. I heard that this official was not a small one.
He was a big landowner in Wugang and was quite wealthy. His eldest brother Liu Chengyin wanted to recruit troops, so he helped him with some money. Not long ago, he helped his eldest brother to establish the King of Gui. The eldest brother remembered his good deeds and got him a royal servant.
.
But what does this Taipusi Qing do? Liu Yuansheng doesn’t understand.
If you don’t understand, just ask.
After retreating from the court, Liu Yuansheng stopped the military personnel around him and asked Liu Yaozhen for help.
"Master Liu, please wait a moment."
"Oh, Mr. Liu, what do you have to say?"
"I have never been an official before, so I don't know much about the official system of the Ming Dynasty. May I ask what kind of official Taipusi Qing is? What is his specific responsibility?"
Liu Yaozhen was stunned, and then became angry: We, the students, have studied hard for ten years, and have gone through county examinations, government examinations, academician examinations, provincial examinations, joint examinations, and palace examinations, and have only achieved one or seven grades of officialdom. You are a scoundrel.
Taking advantage of Liu Tieguang's momentum, he was granted the title of Third-Rank Taipu Temple Minister. As a minister of the imperial court, he didn't even know what his job was. Is there any such truth in the world?
"Hahahaha!" Liu Yaozhen laughed loudly.
Wu Bing, Zhou Dinghan, Yang Qiaoran, Fu Zuolin, Qu Mingfeng and other ministers felt strange. They asked Liu Yaozhen: "Master Liu, why did you behave so disrespectfully in court?"
Liu Yaozhen said loudly to these ministers who came from the imperial examination: "Just now, Liu Yuansheng, the minister of Taipusi, asked me, what does the minister of Taipusi do?
"Hahahaha!" Wu Bing, Zhou Dinghan, Yang Qiaoran, Fu Zuolin, and Qu Mingfeng laughed loudly along with Liu Yaozhen.
It hurts my self-esteem, it really hurts my self-esteem!
Even though Liu Yuansheng was so arrogant when he kidnapped Zhu Youlang, he fled in front of these upright scholars.
Liu Yuansheng ran to Liu Chengyin's house crying.
Liu Chengyin was drinking and having fun. When he saw Liu Yuansheng, he was very surprised: "Third brother, why are your eyes red?"
"Brother, you have to make the decision for me! My younger brother has been bullied!" Liu Yuansheng told the whole story.
Liu Chengyin is on fire, you Liu Yaozhen, my third brother doesn’t know what Taipu Siqing is, so you can explain it to him. That’s all if you don’t explain it, but you still have to humiliate him. Do you understand what it means to be tireless in teaching?
"Third brother, that guy insulted you, why don't you beat him?"
"They are all scholars, wouldn't it be a bad idea to beat them up?"
"Oh, third brother, you are confused! You and I, brothers, hold heavy troops, and the emperor is not afraid of them. How can we be afraid of a few nerds?"
When he went to court the next day, Liu Chengyin commanded a group of brothers to give Liu Yaozhen a beating from the military department.
No official dared to stop him.
Zhang Tongchang, a bachelor, was extremely angry. He stepped forward and asked Liu Chengyin: "You are a distinguished minister of the country. There is no one in front of the Holy Lord and you have repeatedly insulted the gentry. Why?"
Seeing Zhang Tongchang taking the lead, Yang Qiaoran, Fu Zuolin, Qu Mingfeng and others also plucked up the courage to angrily rebuke Liu Chengyin.
Liu Chengyin got angry and wanted to kill Zhang Tongchang.
Zhang Tongchang was not afraid at all and looked directly at Liu Chengyin.
Looking at Zhang Tongchang's sharp gaze, Liu Chengyin suddenly became frightened.
He did not dare to offend Zhang Tongchang, so he walked up to Yang Qiaoran, the deputy censor of the capital, and punched Yang Qiaoran: "You are the constitutional magistrate, and Liu Yaozhen humiliated my brother. Why don't you impeach him?"
Unexpectedly, Yang Qiaoran was also a tough guy and quarreled with Liu Chengyin. The two fought until they broke up.
Wu Bing, a bachelor, and Zhou Dinghan, a lecturer at the Hanlin Academy, persuaded the matter. The matter was finally dropped.
??
People in the Ming Dynasty are famous for their love of internal fighting.
Hundreds of officials in the small court of Yongli fought fiercely, and the small court of Daxi Kingdom was even more ruthless, causing deaths.
Emperor Zhang Xianzhong of the Great Western Kingdom died a heroic death for his country at Fenghuang Mountain in Xichong.
Before his death, he intended to make Pingdong Wang Sun Kewang his heir apparent and let him lead his troops to return to the Ming Dynasty: "I will die and you will return to the Ming Dynasty in a hurry. It will not be unjust."
Sun Kewang quit, he wanted to establish himself as emperor. But Li Dingguo, king of Anxi, Liu Wenxiu, king of Funan, and Ai Nengqi, king of Dingbei, all wanted to return to the Ming Dynasty.
Sun Kewang saw that there were many people who wanted to return to the Ming Dynasty, so he deceived them. Let's take it one step at a time and work together to conquer Guizhou first.
So the four kings of Daxi Kingdom worked together to kill Zeng Ying, the Ming general of Chongqing, and opened the way to Guizhou.
While they were drinking the celebratory wine, Gong Wanjing, the envoy of Prime Minister Zuo Wang Zhaolin, suddenly arrived.
Gong Wanjing put on the airs of a minister, arrogant and arrogant.
He said to the four of them, you and the four of you have made great achievements. The prime minister is very happy and has already informed the queen that he wants to tell you about your merits. You should prepare quickly and enter the palace to express your gratitude.
As soon as Gong Wanjing left, the four kings were furious.
Wang Zhaolin, when Boss Wang was here, relied on Boss Wang's power to bully us. Now that Boss Wang is dead, he still dares to be so domineering. It's really abominable!
Ai Nengqi said: "Brother, we're not going. Let's go to Guizhou and leave that guy and that bullshit queen in Chongqing."
Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu also agreed.
Sun Kewang smiled sinisterly: "No, we have to go! Take the troops and go!"
??
Wang Zhaolin, the left prime minister of Daxi Kingdom, is a weirdo.
He is very strange. He is a serious scholar from a distinguished family. He does not study well at home and take imperial examinations, but he likes to discuss government affairs.
Said that this was not good and that was not good in the Ming Dynasty.
Is it allowed to have random discussions about the government of this country?
If you want to say that my emperor is sage and wise, that’s okay; if you want to say that my emperor is not sage and wise, this is not done well and that is not done right. It’s over, let’s go in.
Soon, Wang Zhaolin was imprisoned for "offending the lying monument".
"Wobei" is a ban issued by Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty to suppress scholars from asking political questions. "Offending the Wobei" means being punished for expressing dissatisfaction with politics.
Wang Zhaolin became a prisoner and was imprisoned. His path to the imperial examination was blocked, and it was hard to say whether he could save his life.
Suddenly, news came that the rebel army of the Daxi thief Zhang Xianzhong was approaching Qishui City.
Wang Zhaolin thought, since his fame in this life was over, he might as well risk his life and join the Eight Kings. In prison, he conspired to convict hundreds of people on death row, killed the jailer, broke out of prison, and defected to Zhang Xianzhong. p>
Zhang Xianzhong took a look and saw that there was a scholar who came from a famous family and was a great intellectual. This is a treasure! What a treasure. Mr. Long, Mr. Short called him and made him the prime minister.
Prime Minister Wang is still very capable and has given many ideas to the Eight Kings. Some are good and some are bad.
Some good ideas were: I suggested that Zhang Xianzhong give up Jiangnan and march into Sichuan. The land of Bashu and Sichuan was fertile and wild, and he could become a king. He also advised Zhang Xianzhong to open up schools in Sichuan to recruit scholars, establish an official system, mint coins, and exempt land taxes, which would soon stabilize the situation.
The situation in Sichuan.
There are also bad ideas, such as persuading Zhang Xianzhong to kill people, mainly officials. He was studying at home to prepare for the imperial examination, but just because he complained a few times, he was imprisoned by these bad officials and almost died. So he hated these officials.
. He said to Zhang Xianzhong that the officials of the Ming Dynasty were unreliable, and you should kill them all. Then select a group of officials from the unsuccessful scholars at the bottom. These people were unsuccessful in the Ming Dynasty, and you let them become officials.
I will definitely be loyal to you.
Zhang Xianzhong listened to Prime Minister Wang's advice. Every time he conquered a place, as long as the officials refused to surrender, he would kill all the families and confiscate their property. Then, he would promote some frustrated old boys, old scholars and the like to become officials.
Gradually, Zhang Xianzhong gained a reputation as a murderer. It was all given by Prime Minister Wang.
Prime Minister Wang was not only cruel to the officials of the Ming Dynasty, but also to his own people. In order to establish his prestige, Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates committed crimes. Not only did he not intercede, he also persuaded Zhang Xianzhong to be punished severely. Everyone was afraid of him. Zhang Xianzhong's four
The adopted son has outstanding military exploits and high prestige. In order to suppress these four people and help them distinguish between the big and small kings, Prime Minister Wang often made slanderous remarks in front of Zhang Xianzhong to punish these four people. The four princes dared to be angry but dare not speak out.
However, Prime Minister Wang did not expect that Emperor Zhang Xianzhong of Daxi suddenly died in battle.
The fox fakes the tiger's power. Without the tiger, how can the fox take advantage of the situation?
Prime Minister Wang has a solution.
In order to motivate the soldiers to fight the Qing army, Zhang Xianzhong killed his wife and son. Seeing that the emperor was spiritually empty, Wang Cheng presented another beautiful woman to the emperor. The emperor was happy and made her his queen.
After Zhang Xianzhong's death, Prime Minister Wang spoke: "Although the emperor is dead, the queen is still there. Everyone should listen to the queen and regard the queen as the master."
Prime Minister Wang is really strange. Others use the emperor to control the princes, but he wants to use the queen to control the princes.
The four kings of the Daxi Kingdom are used to being thieves. If Zhang Xianzhong is alive, there will be no problem and they can be suppressed. If Zhang Xianzhong is dead, you, a civil servant, want to suppress the four major thieves with one woman. It is simply a joke.
Everyone in the world says that peace is good, but power cannot be forgotten.
Soon, Prime Minister Wang paid the price for his fight for power: his life.
??
At noon, the Prime Minister's Mansion in Taoyuan Cave, Zunyi.
Teams of sergeants surrounded the place.
"Who are you? You are so bold! You dare to act wild in the Prime Minister's Mansion." The gatekeeper shouted and asked.
The sword flashed and the head fell to the ground.
"I, the great king of the Western Kingdom, can hope to bring peace to the Eastern Kingdom. Those who abandon their weapons will avoid death."
Prime Minister Zuo Wang Zhaolin, who was at work, was escorted in front of the four kings.
"Kneel down!"
Prime Minister Wang refused to kneel.
The sergeants slashed him with the back of their swords and kicked his knees to force him to kneel down.
After kneeling down, the four kings counted their sins and said: "If a person dies in prison, we will destroy Qishui City to bring him back to life, treat him as the son of a noble family, and protect him as his prime minister. It's not like he is bent on killing people just to keep his favor. We will do our best.
In the plains of the territory, I have harvested all the able men, and killed them all for the sake of a few words. That is to say, the people are loyal to me, and the Lord wants to reward them with gold and silk to secure them. If they are determined to take them, I will kill them all. I will live a lifetime of ten thousand deaths.
Fortunately, those who have recovered to this day are all caused by Ruo. If Ruo's meat is not enough for the army, we must punish Ruo now to thank the three armies."
Wang Zhaolin knew that he was bound to die, so he struggled to get up and said: "I am the Prime Minister of the Daxi Kingdom. Please save some dignity for the Daxi Kingdom. Please kill me quickly and do not humiliate me."
Sun Kewang looked at Ai Nengqi, and Ai Nengqi took Wang Zhaolin out and tied him to a tree. He stretched his bow and set an arrow, and killed him with one arrow.
After killing Prime Minister Wang, the four kings broke into the palace and cut Queen Daxi, the beautiful woman they got from nowhere, in two with a knife.
From then on, all state affairs in Daxi were in the hands of the four kings.
The four princes deposed Sun Kewang, the king of the East, as the commander-in-chief of the entire army. Sun Kewang reorganized his troops, strictly enforced military discipline, and ordered: "From now on, no killing is allowed unless there is a fight."
He also sent people to collect grain on the Sichuan-Guizhou border in preparation for entering Guizhou.
??
"Ding Qing is from Yongcheng, right?" Zhu Hengjia smiled as he looked at Ding Kuichu and his son-in-law Wang Gui who had returned from Guizhou.
This time, Mrs. Ding made a great contribution and helped Zhu Hengjia to recruit Guizhou and Huguang. His contribution was not small.
"The sage who supervises the country, I am from Yongcheng, Henan." When Ding Kuichu knew that something good was going on, his old face was very happy.
"Ding Qing has made great achievements this time, and he will be rewarded for his merits. He will be named the uncle of Yongcheng, and the ancestors will be honored." Zhu Hengjia once promised that if the recruitment was successful, he would be made a count. Jun Wu joked, and he fulfilled it today.
"Thank you, Jianguo. Jianguo, the Western thieves want to invade Guizhou, so we must be on guard!"
Zhu Hengjia nodded; "I have sent 15,000 Xibo Li Mingzhong's troops, 10,000 Wei's native soldiers from Qingyuan, and 5,000 Anlongcen's native soldiers from Guizhou to set up defenses in Guizhou."
Zhu Hengjia also named his son-in-law Wang Gui as the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple to reward his merits.
The three monarchs and ministers were chatting happily when they suddenly reported that Liu Chengyin of Wugang had proclaimed King Zhu Youlang of Gui as emperor, and his reign was Yongli.
Zhu Hengjia secretly sneered. He ordered the Marquis of Xingguo Yang Guowei and Wu Yongbo Yan Zuggao to lead 30,000 horse and infantry troops. With lightning speed, they sent troops to Wugang and destroyed the Yongli court.
