2. Former Marquis of Xi'an
The entire Zheng County is connected by a street from north to south. Countless small streets and alleys grow from this street and wind into all directions of this small town. In a remote alley at a corner of the county town, former Xi'an Hou Liu Xiao lives.
Xi'an is a small marquis country in Qi, close to the metropolis of Linzi, and is very wealthy. Liu Xiao inherited his title when he was a teenager and lived a peaceful life of more than ten years of wealth and wealth. When Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, the princes and princes of the Liu family were demoted, and many people lost their vassal states, and Liu Xiao was also one of them.
The world was in chaos, and the Red Eyebrow Army rose from Qi and plundered everywhere. Liu Xiao was captured into the army. The three brothers Liu Gong, Liu Mao and Liu Penzi, the sons of Qian Shihou, were also in the army.
Because of his literacy, Liu Xiao was called a strategist in the army. He usually walked around the various battalions, made friends with leaders in the army, and came up with a few bad ideas. If it were in the past, he would not even look at the mud-legged people who didn't know a single word, but now people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. The former Xi'an Marquis had to surrender and pinch his nose and make a big fuss with the big and rough people.
The rough-hitting people's careers have grown. The Red Eyebrow Army has reached Hongnong, with 300,000 troops, and Chang'an City is right in front of us.
At this time, something strange happened. Wu Zhu in the army suddenly went crazy and claimed that he was possessed by King Jing of Chengyang. He often shouted inexplicably: "We should have been the emperor, how can we be a robber?"
King Jing of Chengyang Liu Zhang was the grandson of Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang and the son of King Liu Fei of Qi. He himself probably did not expect that he would become a god after his death and be worshipped by the people of Qi. King Jing of Chengyang was possessed by King Jing of Chengyang, which was a major event in the Red Eyebrow Army, which was dominated by the Qi people. The soldiers believed that this was the meaning of the gods.
The leaders of Fan Chong and others decided to adapt to the morale of the army and establish an emperor. They searched for descendants of King Jing of Chengyang in the army and found three, namely Liu Xiao, Liu Mao and Liu Penzi (at that time, Liu Mao and Liu Pengzi's eldest brother Liu Gong were not in the army).
The three people draw lots according to their age. Liu Xiao was 41 years old, and the first one was Liu Mao, who was 18 years old. All the two people drew blank lottery. Liu Benzi, who was 15 years old, was the youngest. The last draw was the word "General" on his bamboo stick. So the cowherd was made emperor and his reign was Jianshi.
Since the young emperor ascended the throne, Liu Xiao has been sick at home and is bedridden. It was not until the emperor was injured and unconscious that Liu Xiao got up from the kang.
"Mr. Marquis, please drink a sip of water?" His slave Zhang Wu brought a bowl of water, and Liu Xiao took it and drank it all.
Although Liu Xiao always scolded Zhang Wuben, he still regarded him as the number one confidant and only personal bodyguard. There was nothing he could do about it, because the people around him had already run away, leaving only Zhang Wu.
Liu Xiaodao: "Have you seen clearly? Liu Penzi is really dying?"
"Others say he has been in a coma for two days and has not woken up."
"Haha, haha!" Liu Xiao laughed, "The poor are poor! How can those who are unlucky be able to live with the throne of the emperor?"
Zhang Wu smiled and said, "That's right, this is called, this is called... If the buttocks are not matched, they will definitely suffer! This throne can never run out of your PIGU, Marquis."
This is like flattering, but it sounds a bit uncomfortable. Liu Xiao dislikes Zhang Wu for being uneducated and can't even flatter him well. But this is at least a flatterer, and he is somewhat flirting with a bit of a flatterer.
"That is, 'If virtue is not worthy of one's position, there will be disaster.' It's simply vulgar!" Liu Xiao scolded.
Wu Zhu inherited his parents' career, but also learned lessons. When exorcising evil spirits to patients, he always muttered to himself and did not dare to speak loudly. He was deeply admired by the public for his gentle and drizzle style.
"What are the troubles of the Lord? But should I use a talisman to ban the ban on the Lord?" Wu Zhu knew that such a valuable medical treatment could never be such a simple thing.
"I want it, I want it! But not for me, but for the current emperor!" Liu Xiao took out a cloth bag and slowly opened it. It was black and yellow powder inside, emitting a strange smell.
"This is a magical medicine that can cure all diseases and bring back life. The emperor is my closest relative of the clan and is still young. I can't bear to see him die at a young age, so I offer this medicine. I wish my emperor a long life!" Liu Xiao's eyes were meaningful.
Wu Zhu suddenly opened his eyes wide and offered medicine to save His Majesty. All ghosts know that Liu Xiao is the one who is most looking forward to the death of the emperor. Could it be that he wants... this is a big deal, not a piece of horse hoof gold that can be solved... at least two pieces are required.
As if he understood his intentions, Liu Xiaoye put two more pieces of horse hoof gold in his hand, two pieces! Each piece was bigger than the one just now!
Liu Xiao pressed his hand on Wu Zhu's hand and looked at him and said, "Just put this medicine in the talisman water and let His Majesty drink it, and it will be effective within half an hour. We... will have a healthy emperor."
These words proved Wu Zhu's guess. He was thinking silently that the emperor had been in a coma for two days, and even if he didn't take medicine, he would rarely survive. Everyone, including leaders such as Fan Chong and Xu Xuan, regarded him as a dying person, and letting him do it was just the final expiration.
"After the matter is completed, I will regard the divine master as the national teacher. If you have gained anything, let the divine master take it first!" Liu Xiao was full of energy, as if he had put on a dragon robe and became the supreme emperor.
Wu Zhu's thoughts had long gone: the divine master, the national master, three horseshoe gold. One pound, one pound of gold can be at least ten thousand yuan. Two horseshoe gold can be exchanged for 20,000 yuan. You can buy rice and meat to satisfy your cravings well, and you also have to buy a pair of shoes. The heels on your feet were rotten, so that you had to lift your feet and stand upright when you walked, and your posture was quite enchanting. When others saw it, they thought he was practicing the new anti-evil footwork method.
As for the third piece of horse hoof gold, the coquettish Widow Cui had long been clamoring for a golden hairpin...
He closed his eyes unconsciously and began to murmur, looking up at the roof, and then lowering his head, letting his long hair spread all over his face. He looked strange and pious, as if he was asking for help from the gods in the dark.
As an ordinary person, he is really strange to this, but for a Wu Zhu, this can only be said to be a daily operation. If someone comes to him and listens carefully, he will occasionally hear some strange words: "Flesh!" "Shoes!" "Hairpins!"...
Zhang Wu looked around, his head was dizzy, as if he didn't know what was going on and what was going on? What did it mean? How much meat did you have to buy for three pieces of horse hoof gold? He felt so painful in an instant, and suddenly remembered something, why did the marquis call himself me? Could it be...
At this time, Liu Xiao suddenly reached out and patted his shoulder, and said kindly: "Don't worry, I remember your contributions in my heart. You will be the first to be the eunuch."
Zhongchangshi? It seems to be a high-ranking official, with great power. He serves the emperor every day, holding a whisk in his hand... Zhang Wu suddenly feels a chill under his crotch. What the hell is Zhongchangshi? Don't!
At this time, Wu Zhu suddenly let out a "ho" sound, opened his eyes, his eyes were full of shaking copper coins.
Chapter completed!
