Chapter 308

There are always some people who think that they can control the universe. Maybe Zhang Xianzhong didn't have such a thought in the past, but after he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, his idea became more and more serious.

With 30 troops in his hands, he thought that if he could control the universe, he would be able to unite the entire Huguang, and even the entire South, and fight against Sun Jie.

30 soldiers, no matter when, is a powerful force.

But here with Zhang Xianzhong, we need to say hello.

For a soldier who can fight, it would be nice to have [-] soldiers.

The rest are peasant servants, old, weak, sick and disabled.

It was pieced together, piecemeal and piecemeal.

That is to say, it sounds like a famous name, but nothing else.

It's just his wishful thinking to be in charge of the universe.

Sun Kewang hurried in from the outside. He was not as calm as when he announced the decree to Li Dingguo that day. He was like an ant that just jumped off a hot pot.

Zhang Xianzhong looked at Sun Kewang who was so anxious, his face was full of doubts, and he asked, "What happened? Why are you so anxious?"

My heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition came to my mind.

But he still forced himself to calm down.

Sun Kewang hurriedly stood in front of Zhang Xianzhong, and said in a hurried tone, "Father is not well, Sun Jie's army has already gone south, they have crossed Xiangyang and are heading towards us.

Although it is not clear how many soldiers and horses they have pulled, their forward is not far from Wuchang Mansion. "

"What? How could this be?!"

Zhang Xianzhong was shocked, his eyes widened, and he suddenly sat up on the bed.

All the calmness just now disappeared, and the soreness on his waist also disappeared instantly. He stood in the middle of the room with his bare feet, and the cold sweat on his forehead flowed down like rain.

All those erotic dreams from last night were completely wiped out at this moment.

All the illusions, at this moment, all turned into mirrors.

He kept mumbling: "How could this be, how could this be? How could they be so fast?"

Now he has 30 troops in his hands, but his fear of Sun Jie is deeply rooted.

He had never confronted Sun Jie head-on on a large scale, but how could someone who could force Zhu Yujian to give up Nanyang and go south could be a simple character?
I originally thought that this matter was still early, and there were still a few days of happy life.

It never occurred to him that this happened suddenly just a few days after his dream of becoming an emperor.

Sun Kewang didn't calm down at all, he followed behind Zhang Xianzhong, asking what to do.

His hasty and anxious voice made Zhang Xianzhong nervous again.

Without real strength, all the glory and wealth are just a mirror image.

Zhang Xianzhong panted heavily, he sat down slowly while supporting the bedpost.

His legs were trembling and his body was numb, as if he had been shocked by an electric shock.

"How did this happen? When did it happen? How real is it? Who is the general leading the army this time? How many troops do they have? Where is it now? Have you figured out all these things?" Zhang Xianzhong Ask again and again.

Faced with Zhang Xianzhong's repeated inquiries, Sun Kewang's face was full of confusion.

Where does he have the guts to send Ye Bushou to investigate the whereabouts of these soldiers?

Even if he sent Ye Bushou out, there was a high probability that he would return without success and gain nothing.

Sun Kewang pursed his lips and kept shaking his head.

Zhang Xianzhong became anxious all of a sudden, and slapped Sun Kewang on the face, and shouted loudly: "What did you do? Thanks to Lao Tzu, I also named you the Duke of Qin, is this how you lead the army?

You don't know anything, what's the use of you, do you know what kind of person Sun Jie is?Do you know how powerful he is?If you can't figure out all these things, you should understand what will happen to us.You really can't do it, you're really not as good as the fourth child. "

Sun Kewang was still a little panicked at first, but when he heard Zhang Xianzhong comparing him with Li Dingguo, his panic eased a lot, replaced by anger towards Li Dingguo.

When people are in the most dangerous time, the words they say are basically words that are blurted out subconsciously without thinking about the brain.

The truth of this kind of words is very great, and Sun Kewang also understands in his heart that in Zhang Xianzhong's mind, he may never be as good as Li Dingguo.

Jealousy kept rising in his mind.

Even if he is in a high position and powerful now, if he does something bad one day, being deposed is just a word of Zhang Xianzhong.

He is not worried about being deposed, what he is afraid of is that Li Dingguo will stand on his head again.

Once Li Dingguo stands on his head, there will be no chance to stand up after that.

No one is willing to take the back seat. Sun Kewang has great ambitions, so how could he allow this to happen?
I hated Li Dingguo a lot in my heart.

A sense of crisis welled up in my heart.

This is a person who can betray anyone for the sake of glory and wealth. It is a joke to expect him to work together.

However, he is rather sharp and cunning, even though he hates him, he still has to deal with the matter in front of him.

After clearing his mind, he suddenly thought of an excellent solution.

He knelt down, kowtowed to Zhang Xianzhong a few times, and repeatedly confessed: "Father, all this is my fault, everything is my fault!

The matter has come to this point, and it is irreparable, but if it can be remedied in time, it is not too late to make up for it.

The fourth brother is a dragon and a phoenix among men, he is capable and brave, and we can't find a second one in our army. Why don't we let him lead the army to scout the movement of the Sun thief's soldiers and horses.

The minister believed that with him commanding the army, he would be able to investigate all the situation of the bandit soldiers clearly. "

This was a plan to kill with a knife, Zhang Xianzhong frowned slightly, and heard something wrong from Sun Kewang's words.

But things have come to this, so what?
Now that the enemy's situation is unknown, of course the most urgent task is to figure out the enemy's movements.

I am afraid that besides Li Dingguo, there will be no other one to find out about this matter.

After thinking for a moment, he had no choice but to agree with Sun Kewang.

With a long sigh, he looked at Sun Kewang who was kneeling in front of him, and said:
"I'll leave this matter to you. Remember, this is your request."

Sun Kewang cursed inwardly, "What an old fox."

Li Dingguo's prestige in the army is not small. Although he has no military power in his hands now, there are still many middle and low-level generals who support him.

If Li Dingguo was asked to die in an open and honest manner, then those under him would definitely complain more or less.

It was impossible for Zhang Xianzhong to do anything that would damage his dignity, so he could only push this matter to Sun Kewang.

If Li Dingguo did a good job, then the credit goes to Li Dingguo. Of course, Zhang Xianzhong also has the credit for his knowledge of people.

If things go wrong, then Sun Kewang will take the blame, and then Zhang Xianzhong can be picked off.

If it was pushed back for a while, before Zhang Xianzhong proclaimed himself emperor, even if Zhang Xianzhong had this idea in his heart, he would not be so clear.

Once people are contaminated with power, they will change their appearance.

After Zhang Xianzhong enjoyed the taste of being an emperor, he became more and more greedy for power.

He likes the feeling of being above thousands of people, he likes the feeling of being in charge of life and death, and deciding life and death with one word.

He wants to be an eternal emperor, and he wants the power in his hands to never fade.

He put himself into the role of the emperor and looked at this matter from the emperor's perspective.

In his mind, the emperor will always be a wise and mighty emperor, without any faults.

Although these four sons of his have a deep relationship with him, they are nothing more than courtiers under the power.

He really likes to see the scene where the courtier throws his head for him.

This will greatly satisfy his vanity.

Seeing that Sun Kewang had no complaints, Zhang Xianzhong asked him to retreat.

After Sun Kewang left, Zhang Xianzhong closed the door firmly, covered the windows with curtains, and the whole room became dark.

He just shrank in the room by himself.

There is a fire path built under the ground of the bedroom, which is also commonly known as "fire dragon".

Under the roasting of the fire dragon, the temperature in the room was very high.

Although it is not as good as modern heating, it is a very good heating device in this cold little ice age.

Even this warm fire dragon still couldn't dispel the coldness on Zhang Xianzhong's body.

He felt that he had no clothes on, and the wind leaked from all sides, and the cold wind pierced through his skin and penetrated into his bones like a knife.

This made him feel uneasy again.

He looked to the north, looked towards Xiangyang, looked towards Chang'an, and kept muttering: "I have no grievances with you in the past, and I have no hatred in the present, so you probably won't kill me?

I just have an enmity with the Ming court, but you have already wiped out the Ming court. After all, we should be in the same camp before. I hope you can show mercy. "

Zhang Xianzhong didn't know why he said these words.

The 30 soldiers and horses in his hands are like 30 pigs, without any sense of security.

It was because Sun Jie put too much pressure on him.

Afterwards, he hid under the blanket again and shivered.

He didn't want people to see his own embarrassment, so he blocked off all sides of the room.

Sun Kewang left the palace, and he took Zhang Xianzhong's order to Li Dingguo's house.

At this time, Li Dingguo and Zhang Chun were drinking, eating and complaining together.

Of course Li Dingguo knew about the news of Sun Jie's arrival, but he was not as anxious as Sun Kewang at this time.

After Zhang Chun's "advice" before, Li Dingguo also understood many things.

With Zhang Xianzhong's ascension to the throne, Li Dingguo was more like a gun, never living for himself, either doing things for Zhang Xianzhong or Sun Kewang along the way.

As such, they are often treated unequally.

Sun Kewang stood in front of the gate of Li Ding's country and asked his subordinates to knock on the gate directly.

Not long after, Li Dingguo stood at the door drunk. He looked at the serious Sun Kewang and smiled lightly: "Hey, isn't this the eldest brother? Why do you have the time to come to my place today? Do you want to drink with me?" ? I just had a few jugs of good wine here, why don't you come and drink a few jugs."

Sun Kewang smiled but said: "You are drinking in broad daylight, you are simply a useless person. Your Majesty has ordered you to lead the soldiers and go to Xiangyang to investigate the enemy's situation without any mistakes."

Li Dingguo was slightly taken aback, and asked: "Let me lead a sentry team to Xiangyang City to scout the enemy? I am no longer the Duke of the previous state, I am just a marquis. I have no military power in my hands, let alone the right to lead the army." , Why should I lead the troops out?

Besides, what enemies are there in Xiangyang, why don't you go?Don't let me go. "

Li Dingguo directly retaliated with Jiu Jin.

Sun Kewang's face darkened instantly, he did not expect Li Dingguo to be so rude in front of him.

Li Dingguo is a very self-cultivated person. No matter who he is in front of, he is always kind and kind. He rarely confronts Sun Kewang in front of outsiders like this.

These words made Sun Kewang feel even more uncomfortable.

"This is His Majesty's will, do you want to resist the will?"

Sun Kewang moved out Zhang Xianzhong's name.

If Li Dingguo insisted on not going at this time, then Sun Kewang really had nothing to do.

After all, Zhang Xianzhong didn't say it explicitly, and didn't make an order himself.

Li Dingguo is still Li Dingguo, and he is still loyal to Zhang Xianzhong.

He just asked for a few words of happiness, and after getting enough money, he still took the task.

Zhang Chun stood behind him, his eyes shining brightly.

This is a great opportunity. If Li Dingguo is allowed to lead the troops to investigate the enemy's situation, and then go together at that time, it may not be possible to bring Li Dingguo back to Chang'an.

A simple plan appeared in Zhang Chun's mind.

After Sun Kewang left, Li Dingguo returned to the study.

The wine on the table was still cold, Li Dingguo picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, then picked up the jug, mouth to mouth, and poured all the wine into his stomach.

Li Dingguo has a good capacity for drinking, and this pot of wine only made him blush slightly.

He looked at Zhang Chun who was standing next to him, and asked: "The boss must be agitating in front of the father, otherwise, the father would not have issued such an order.

Sometimes, I can't understand why he is so hostile to me? "

Zhang Chun smiled and said, "How can there be family affection in front of interests? All feelings are just duckweed on the water. How many people will the general plan to bring this time?"

"What do you think, Brother Zhang?" Li Dingguo asked back.

Zhang Chun said: "In my opinion, the more the better, but if you lead too many soldiers, it will make your Majesty and Qin Guogong feel uneasy."

The Majesty Zhang Chun is talking about here is naturally Zhang Xianzhong.

"Hehe, I naturally understand what Brother Zhang said. I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it to be reduced to this point after so long. It's ridiculous and lamentable." Li Dingguo slapped the table in front of him.

I was unhappy, but I still led the soldiers and horses to go.

The next day, together with Zhang Chun, he led three thousand elites to Xiangyang to spy on the enemy.

……

The north wind howling from the Mongolian prairie swirled in the sky above Chang'an City, trying to rush into the imperial palace.

As soon as they reached the door, they were all squeezed out by the hot heater.

The heating in the Jinshen hall is permeating, warm as spring.

Sun Jie sat on the main seat, his face was reddish, and he cursed in his heart: "No wonder so many people want to be emperor, this spring scene is really hard to control!"

In the main hall, ten tall and beautiful women with outstanding appearance, graceful figure and excellent temperament are lined up in two rows.

Wearing an embroidered dress specially prepared by the Ministry of Rites, she is dignified, majestic, and beautiful.

Bursts of rouge fragrance continuously drilled into Sun Jie's nose.

Sun Ling took a few court ladies and shuttled among the show girls for the final review.

It was supposed to be done by Sun Jie, but how to put it, it is a matter of the harem, so it was handed over to Sun Ling.

These beautiful girls were selected from the territories under Sun Jie's command.

There are bold and tall beautiful girls from the Loess Plateau, there are educated and sensible girls from the Central Plains, and there are also gentle and graceful girls from the south of the Yangtze River.

Regardless of whether it is east, west, north or south, they all have good faces and beautiful figures.

The mainstream aesthetics throughout the ages are actually pretty much the same, and since it's Sun Jie's business, these officials don't dare to mess around.

The electric lights on both sides of the main hall are as bright as daylight, which sets off the beauty of these beautiful women.

Speaking of which, there are only ten in total this time, even if Sun Jie accepts them all, there is no problem.

Sun Ling shuttled among the beautiful girls, sometimes interrogating and sometimes watching.

Sun Jie yawned a few times in Wenrou Township, the best place to sleep.

Sun Ling sat beside Sun Jie and woke him up.

"There is nothing wrong with these people, regardless of their wealth or appearance and etiquette, they can't find any problems.

Accept them all to strengthen the clan.The world is so big, the four directions should be guarded by clan disciples! "Sun Ling said.

Sun Jie is a gangster. In this era, he is a widow and a widow, without any relatives or friends.

Therefore, he must use his own strength to create a huge clan.

Sun Jie rubbed his waist, it seemed a bit difficult.

"I've told the hospital to ask them to get more tonics!" Sun Ling said.

"There is no need to be so anxious about this matter!" Sun Jie smiled slightly: "Since there is no problem, let's accept all of them!"

The spring night is short and the day is high, and since then the king will not go to court early.

In the following days, Sun Jie finally knew how happy Tang Minghuang was back then.

The comfort in Wenrou Township is comfortable, but it is a bit costly.

Of course, the premise of doing things is not to delay the important affairs of the court.

Apart from these things, Sun Wenyue's reading was also on the agenda.

In the court hall, there was a commotion about Sun Wenyue's study.

Sun Jie established the East Palace Zhan Shifu last year, but no officials have been appointed yet.

I am three years old this year, and it's time for me to start studying.

As the heir of the royal family, the future prince should not be too late to study.

In the competition for the officials of Zhan Shifu in the East Palace, the officials of the imperial court were extremely enthusiastic.

This is unavoidable. Since ancient times, "Heaven, Earth, Monarch, Parent and Teacher", no one can resist this temptation.

People are profit-seeking, this matter cannot be avoided, and Sun Jie did not overly obstruct it.

However, in the selection of officials, Sun Jie has his own considerations.

Sun Wenyue is going to be emperor in the future, and he has to investigate the history, culture, humanities, customs and other things of this country and this land, so Chinese studies are at the forefront.

The second is politics, that is, political affairs handling, logical thinking, political situation analysis, situation analysis and other things.

As for the natural sciences, you only need to master a part of them, and there is no need to study them in depth.

It's not like being a professor, as long as you can guarantee that you won't be deceived, as long as you can understand the rules of how things work.

Regarding this matter, Sun Jie let them go, let them fight slowly first, and then look at the situation after they have an idea.

It didn't take long before officials were selected.

Zhan Shi's Zhan Shi is Sun Chuanting, and his deputy Zhan Shi is Lu Xiangsheng.

The rest of the officials from all walks of life were selected from the court.

All together, there are more than 20 in total.

Anyway, it can be regarded as putting up the airs, and Sun Wenyue started to study not long after.

……

The sun is shining brightly, and the spring is cold.

Sun Jie walked out of the bedroom, holding a thermos cup.

It is soaked in wolfberry, red dates and other things.

He took a sip and let out a long breath.

As soon as he walked to the imperial study, he saw a familiar figure.

Sun Chuanting looked anxious, as if he was crazy, and ran this way.

Sun Jie looked puzzled, he had never seen Sun Chuanting like this before.

"What's the matter?" Sun Jie asked.

Sun Chuanting knelt down on the ground with a thump, and burst into tears: "Your Majesty, something has happened, something has happened, Your Royal Highness, I'm gone, I'm gone!"

"what?"

Sun Jie's pupils shrank.

In an instant, the pain in my waist and legs were no longer sore.

"What's going on? What's going on?!" Sun Jie was anxious.

No matter who puts this on, no one can bear it.

Not to mention, this is Sun Jie's first son, the future prince of the empire.

"Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince entered school at six o'clock this morning. After eight o'clock, the minister went to class. He was still there during the first class, but he was gone during the second class.

The Reading Pavilion of Zhan Shi's Mansion is only that big, and the minister led people to search the whole place, but they couldn't find it. "Sun Chuanting looked sad.

Losing the crown prince, no matter what time it is, is a big deal.

Sun Jie immediately threw the thermos in his hand to Liang Shangxi behind him, pulled up Sun Chuanting who was kneeling on the ground, and walked to the Reading Pavilion of Zhan Shifu.

Zhan Shifu is located in a small courtyard in the palace to the east of the palace.

This place is heavily guarded, how could a living person disappear?

"Go to Zhan Shifu!" Sun Jie shouted.

Sun Chuanting hurriedly followed behind Sun Jie.

It didn't take long to come to Zhan Shifu.

Now the Zhan Shi Mansion has been under full martial law, with one person at every five steps and one post at every ten steps, and there are patrolling soldiers everywhere.

Sun Jie turned around, looked at Sun Chuanting who was behind him, and said, "The news about this matter must be blocked, and it is forbidden to spread it outside."

After speaking, go deep.

At the same time, Sun Wenyue was sitting in the cab of a car in a large courtyard to the north of the imperial palace.

This is a parking lot specially set up by Sun Jie, which is mainly used to test the technical indicators of vehicles and other issues.

Today happened to be a holiday, so no one was inside.

Sitting in the co-pilot was an eunuch, about fifteen or sixteen years old, named Zhao Qi.

It was obtained from other palaces of the Ming Dynasty in the past. Because of his flexible mind and honest personality, Sun Jie rationed him to Sun Wenyue.

Outside the car were several guards with live ammunition, looking around with piercing eyes.

Zhao Qi looked at Sun Wenyue who kept turning the steering wheel, and said in a panic, "Your Highness, we've been out for long enough, let's go back!"
