4. Xuanwu of Bian people

Liu's mother, with white hair, sat next to the couch and touched Xuan Zuo's forehead.

"Mother, the child is unfilial and cannot support her until the end." Liu Xuanzuo's eyes had dissipated. He held his mother's hand in a crying voice, and then asked everyone else to retreat to the screen, and only talked to his mother, "I am in the western courtyard of the military mansion, and I will save you 200,000 guan of money for you, hoping that my mother can use this money to entertain the old man and make up for the child's guilt."

"What do I want you to do for this money..." Liu's mother sighed, "Although I am rich and honored as the wife of the country, I still weave a piece of cloth every day for my own benefit. You, originally just a military soldier from Huazhou, can now become the Situ of the Procuratorate and the Jiedu of Fangzhen, relying on nothing else, the trust and gifts of the court and the Holy Lord for you! You are a minister of the Tang Dynasty, and don't forget this identity until you die."

Speaking of this, Liu Xuanzuo's expression of regret and uneasiness appeared on his face, "My mother, the child's previous crazy and false words were all mistaken by Dou Shen. Now he regrets it before his death. I am afraid that after my death, the army will disobey the court and establish my son Ning Jijingjie privately. In this way, Xuanwu Town will really become Pinglu, Tianxiong, Chengde, and Huaining's first-class product. If the matter fails, not only will the descendants be protected, but my grave will not be peaceful after my death, and I may be humiliated by the corpse being chopped off."

Liu's mother advised him, "As the situation is forced, the soldiers and soldiers of Xuanwu Town are all natives in Henan Province, and they will definitely make trouble and support Shining. But you might as well establish a 'Hidden Cushion Commander' and write a suitable candidate on paper to secretly hide it. If Shining really does evil and does not tolerate the country, I will publish the 'Hidden Cushion Commander' to the public in the way of your destiny to welcome the court. In this way, even if Shining overturns, the entire Liu clan in Kuangcheng can end well."

This proposal made Liu Xuanzuo nod, and then he stood up with difficulty, took the pen and ink given by his mother, and secretly wrote the order to establish the "Hidden Chushang".

That night, Liu Xuanzuo passed away.

Soon, there were crying in the city of Bianzhou. Thousands of Xuanwu soldiers wore mourning clothes, surrounded Liu Xuanzuo's family, preparing to carry Liu Xuanzuo's coffin. Before the night had dissipated, they sent Liu Xuanzuo to their hometown for burial.

Before the funeral procession could start, the marching Sima Lu Yuan stood up, then pointed to the precious vessels loaded on Liu Xuanzuo's hearse and asked the soldiers: "This is the gold and silver utensils hidden in our military palace. Do you want to bury them as a wise weapon?"

The soldiers of Xuanwu Army were furious and asked Lu Yuan one after another: "This military residence was built by Situ and everyone. If these instruments are not buried with Situ, is there any other use?"

Lu Yuan said proudly that the court would send a new governor to come soon, and the military government would of course leave more wealth for him to spare.

"What new Jiedushi? No one except the Situ family recognized it!" When Xuanwu's soldiers heard this, they were all angry and pulled out their shiny swords under their white clothes.

At this time, Liu Chang, the Du Yu Marquis and Li Wanrong, the military envoy, saw that the situation was wrong, and Liu Yizhun hurriedly shouted: "Lu Sima, please avoid it, don't attack the public's anger."

Lu Yuan was so scared that he hurriedly fled into the backyard. The soldiers rushed over with swords. Lu Yuan was both brave and brave. Fortunately, Liu Chang and others tried hard to stop Xuan Wu's fangs, so Lu Yuan climbed out of the courtyard wall and fled.

Then Liu Xuanzuo's son-in-law Zhai Zuoben took the opportunity to shout among the riots: "Lu Yuan was not a plan, and they were all instigated by the military commander Meng Jie, and colluded with the city gate general Cao Jin'an and Li Mai, to sell our Xuanwu army and welcome Huainan Wu Coo as the new governor!"

For a moment, the soldiers of Xuanwu Army shouted angrily as if the sky had collapsed and the earth had broken. They were like crazy bison, raging on the streets of Xiaofang in the city, arresting Meng Jie, Cao Jin'an and Li Mai everywhere.

Meng Jie fled to the western wall and was blocked by groups of soldiers. His fists fell like raindrops, slashing him with blood in his mouth and nose, and he was half dead. Then he threw him down two or three feet high city walls and fell into the trench. Fortunately, he was not dead and broke his leg. Then Xuanwu's army carried him onto a donkey cart and drove him into the capital.

Cao Jin'an and Li Mai, as "traitors" of the Xuanwu Army, had no such good luck. They were held by the soldiers and were frightened. Then they were knocked on the enemy platform on the top of the city, "You are both people who invite Wu to make a living!" The soldiers cursed, pulled out their blades and cut them alive, and even pounced on them to bite them with their teeth. Cao and Li wailed, and they cut them alive into pieces.

In such a terrifying atmosphere, the potential "Emperor Respecting Sects" of Xuanwu Army were all scared to death and never dared to stand up again.

In the military court, Zhai Zuoben reached out and took off Liu Shining's frigid clothes. Then the soldiers brought three beds to stack them up, pushing Liu Shining up in a cheerful voice.

Liu Shining, who stepped onto the heavy bed, shouted with a little excited expression: "Xuanwu Town is Xuanwu from Bian. I am willing to take care of my own fortune by stepfather, so I will not bother the court to send people there."

"Long live Xuanwu!" The soldiers also raised their hands high and warmly agreed.

Under the corridor of Yabingyuan, Liu Chang, Li Wanrong, Liu Yijun and other generals looked at Liu Shining among the crowd with a faint expression of uneasiness.

Liu Shining immediately sent envoys to all directions, demanding that he be recognized by Pinglu, Huaining, Tianxiong, Chengde and other Fangzhens, and once again concealed the news that Liu Xuanzuo was dead, and prepared to wait until the time was ripe before asking for the court for the flag.

But at this time, the court had learned that Lu Yuan and Meng Jie were expelled and Cao Jin'an and Li Mai were cut.

"Senior high school, Lu Jiu, it's true that as you two said, Lu and Meng are not enough to defeat things." The emperor sighed to Gao Yue and Lu Zhi in Yanying Palace.

"Please temporarily recognize Liu Shining's inheritance of the imperial edict to appease Xuanwu." Gao Yue and Lu Zhi requested together.

At the same time, Li Na, Tian Xu and Wu Shaocheng, who received the request from Liu Shining, had a private contact and decided to secretly gather at Sanfan City in Dezhou to discuss the "Kantong Heshuo Huaixi Union Guarantee".

Sanban City happened to be at the junction of the Lu army in Ziqingping and the Tianxiong army in Wei Bo, and was originally the product of Li Na's attempt to collude with Tian Xu.

The secret envoy sent by Tian Xu was Xing Caojun, a veteran of Wei Bo in the third generation;

The secret envoy sent by Li Na was his son-in-law, Sima Wang Biao (a Jinshi from Gao Yue, a former Jinshi, who was Zhu Sui, Yuan Tongzhi, and Li Feng in the same year);

The secret envoy sent by Liu Shining was the new marching Sima Zhai Zuoben;

The sent by Wu Shaocheng was Li Yuanping, a Sima marching in Huaixi.

As for Wang Wujun, he refused to conspire with them.

Li Yuanping was in Huaixi, and the journey to Sanfan City in Dezhou was tortuous and twists and turns, and the boats alternated intermittently. It took him a long time to reach his destination.

When they got there, Xing Caojun, Wang Biao and Zhai Zuoben, the three of them, represented Fang Zhen behind them, and had already formed a resolution:

As long as the court can recognize Liu Shining's inheritance of the Xuanwu Army, we will continue to live in a non-aggressive way with Chang'an City.
