Chapter 38 Chapter Thirty-Eighth: The Kunlun Slave Killed the Governor Luo Bin Wang in a Furious Rage and Flees to Yangzhou

Li Xian is being imprisoned, he can't die if he wants to die, he can't live well if he wants to.Empress Wu understood Li Xian's pain better, and felt that it was a bad mother not to be able to give her child a complete family.So she ordered General Zuo Jinwu Qiu Shenji to go to the place where Li Xian lived in Bazhou to check whether Li Xian's house was leaking from wind and rain, and at the same time pay attention to personal safety to avoid being attacked by gangsters. It is said that soon, the important officials of the imperial court in the wasteland were attacked by gangsters, which really happened.

In July and autumn of the first year of civilization (AD 684), Lu Yuanrui, the governor of Guangzhou, was brutally murdered. The person who killed him was called "Kunlun" at that time. Kunlun, also known as Kunlun Slave, is a foreigner who came to the Tang Dynasty to realize the Tang Dynasty dream.It is said that Kunlun were black people from the islands near the equator. They crossed the vast ocean and came to the Tang Dynasty to do business and serve as slaves.Everything in the Tang Dynasty is the most fascinating and worth pursuing for them. The Kunlun slave who killed Lu Yuanrui came to Datang to do business, and Lu Yuanrui died as a coward.Governor Lu Yuanrui is cowardly and his subordinates are arrogant and domineering. Someone set up a toll booth in the seaport and forcibly seized merchants' goods.A barbarian in business couldn't bear this group of people, so he ran to Lu Yuanrui and made an impassioned speech (in Chinese).

As I said just now, Lu Yuanrui is very cowardly, but he hates people who can't even understand Chinese.Lu Yuanrui ordered people to put him in shackles, and was about to be sent to prison. The barbarians who were listening to the trial got angry, and a black man jumped out of the crowd, opened his sleeves, pulled out a sharp sword, and shot Lu Yuanrui directly in the head.Lu Yuanrui only heard a click, but didn't understand what was going on, so he went to see Yan Wang.The guards of the Governor's Mansion were shocked, and rushed to rescue (not mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration). Kunlun slashed from left to right and stabbed from right to left, killing more than a dozen people in a row.

This is what Qiu Shenji needs to guard against. Qiu Shenji inspected Li Xian's mansion with great concern. After he left, news of Li Xian's suicide spread. The queen mother was furious, she suspected that Li Xian was killed by someone, and the person who killed her son must be that Qiu Shenji!Empress Wu was no longer calm, and she demoted Qiu Shenji as governor of Diezhou.Empress Wu held a beautiful funeral for Li Xian at Xianfumen, and talked about her heart. A few days later, she re-promoted Qiu Shenji as General Zuo Jinwu. The second big event happened to the queen mother herself. The place where she went to court was changed to Wucheng Hall (note the name), and she gave honorary titles to the princes and ministers by the way, so everyone was very happy.While everyone was happy, Empress Wu listened to politics in Linxuan.

The third major event was that the King of Qi, Li Shangjin, was turned into King Bi. What the Queen Mother meant was that Li Shangjin changed from "worrisome" to "finished".Later, Li Xian, king of Luling, moved to Fangzhou. Take Wu Chengsi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, as Taichangqing, and the third rank of Tongzhongshu. After Empress Wu proclaimed the system, there was a lot of flattery from all over the world, and everyone offered auspiciousness one after another. Some said that the white birds circled for three days in the big forest in Henan, some said that a dragon appeared by the Dongting Lake, and some said that they saw a big white rabbit.Fan Wenwen, the magistrate of Songyang County, brought up a large stone with a big red heart on it.I am brave, I am loyal, I sincerely bless the Queen Mother and other adjectives!Empress Wu was so happy that she announced the exhibition of the stone. In the court, all the officials gave their thumbs up, saying that the stone showed the strength of the motherland.

Amid the harmonious sound, Feng Yuanchang played: "This stone is flattering and deceitful, and it will pollute the world!" Empress Wu was upset, found trouble, and demoted Feng Yuanchang to the governor of Longzhou. Ten years ago, in 676 A.D., Tubo harassed the border, and Pei Xingjian served as the general manager of the Taozhou Daozuo Second Army and led the expedition. As the expedition was imminent, he found a scholar and described in detail his urgent need for an accompanying secretary.Faced with the chief executive's repeated requests, the scholar replied indifferently: "No, I won't go even if I'm beaten to death." I went home to take care of my mother.

After Pei Xingjian read it, he was very moved, what a King Luo Bin, what a talented and dutiful son!King Luo Bin was not happy because his mother died. King Luo Bin, born in the second year of Zhenguan (AD 627), was born in Yiwu, Zhejiang. When the matter came to this point, there was a small situation, and the situation appeared on Tubo, so Pei Xingjian was notified that this expedition would be avoided.When Pei Xingjian returned to the court, he immediately transferred King Luo Bin to Chang'an as the master book (from the eighth rank).Let's start with small officials, at least in the capital.As such a small official, King Luo Bin actually enforced the law impartially and hated evil like a vengeful, which shows that he has great ambitions of his own.

So, everyone joined forces, fabricated charges, and framed him in prison.The reason is: Luo Binwang himself is not authentic, and he sues others for corruption. King Luo Bin is corrupt? Yes, his stolen money is missing because it is in the hands of his colleagues. That day, King Luo Bin heard the summer insects outside the prison, which was the most boring sound of cicadas. Is it the sound of cicadas? He was suddenly very sad, and chanted a poem: Xilu cicada sings, Nanguan guest thinks deeply. Unable to bear the shadows on the temples, come to sing to the white head. The dew is heavy and difficult to fly, and the wind is loud and easy to sink.

No one believes in nobleness, who is the heart of the table. ("Singing the Cicada in Prison") King Luo Bin didn't grieve for too long, because there are still certain benefits to being with Comrade Tianhou, that is, he will amnesty the world at every turn.If brutal criminals can be amnesty, so can corrupt criminals like him. Therefore, in the first year of Yonglong (AD 680), when King Li Xian of England was established as the crown prince, King Luo Bin regained his freedom.After he was released from prison, the first thing he did was not to go to a bar to drink, but to take his mother's coffin back to his hometown in Yiwu.

The folks in Yiwu welcomed this well-known scholar abroad in the most warm way. On July 20, everyone held a very decent funeral for King Luo Bin's mother. In August, King Luo Bin will go to Linhai to take up his post. He has two wishes: first, to bring his father's coffin back and be buried with his mother; The first wish, he said, was not fulfilled; the second wish, he naturally fulfilled it. King Luo Bin went to pay a visit to Luoyang, and Cheng Wuting, a general in Luoyang, the eastern capital, was a good friend of him.Cheng Wuting saw that King Luo Bin had the talent to rule the world, but he could not hold a high position, so he insisted on recommending him as the master.Cheng Wuting was credited, and he was the main force in the abolishment of Li Xian. He truthfully told the situation of King Luo Bin in front of Empress Wu, and at least he could give it to an official of the sixth rank or above.But King Luo Bin shook his head, he knew Cheng Wu didn't understand what he was thinking.

He left Luoyang and went south to Yangzhou. Yangzhou was his dream, and a great career was waiting for him. Li Jingye, the governor of Meizhou, his younger brother Li Jingyou, Tang Zhiqi, Zhan Shisizhi Du Qiuren, etc., had a banquet with King Luo Bin. Everyone drank too much, and some people began to complain. These few people all have common characteristics, except that they are the same gender, they were all brought down by Wu Zetian.Empress Wu was domineering and domineering, killing everyone who wanted to raise opinions, and relegating Li Jingye, a man whose grandfather (British Duke Li Ji) had great military exploits, to the outside.Those who deserve to die are dead, and those who don't deserve to die are also dead. We old men, are we going to stay here and wait to die? Reverse, reverse this old woman surnamed Wu! After many years, Yangzhou revolted again. The leader of the army: Yinggong Li Jingye Reason for raising troops: Kuangfu King of Luling The mastermind of the uprising: Wei Siwen (a county lieutenant, who was once a censor, was deposed because of his words) Comrade Wei Siwen, the military adviser, first asked Comrade Xue Zhongzhang, the supervisory censor, to write to the court, requesting to go to Jiangdu (Yangzhou), and then sent a person with poor acting skills to inform Xue Zhongzhang. The main content of the report was that Chen Jingzhi, the governor of Yangzhou, wanted to rebel .This was the old life of Chen Jingzhi, who knew nothing about it. Xue Zhongzhang was shocked when he heard the news, and couldn't help but immediately took Chen Jingzhi to prison.Then, he informed Wei Siwen that Yangzhou's long history had been captured, and he could make up reasons to rebel at will. Li Jingye came out, and he brought hundreds of soldiers, and with his extremely unprofessional acting skills, he declared that he was following the imperial court's secret decree to kill the conspirators. Do you know who the rebels are? Everyone said together: "I don't know!" Li Jingye: It is Feng Ziyou, the chief of Gaozhou! (According to the secret decree, Feng Ziyou, the chief of Gaozhou, conspired against him and sent troops to fight against him.) So, the treasury was opened, soldiers were dispatched, hundreds of criminals, ruffians, and workers were assembled to form a mob.Li Jingye first killed Chen Jingzhi, then executed Sun Chuxing, who did not cooperate with the action, and stopped the bureaucratic compatriots who wanted to flee.At the end of September, the Yangzhou army announced that this year's year name is "the first year of Sisheng", which means that Yangzhou strongly demands to serve the real sage to ascend the throne. Li Jingye founded the three mansions of Kuangfu Mansion, Yinggong Mansion, and Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. He claimed to be the general of Kuangfu Mansion and led the Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor.The army has established a decent organizational system, including Chang Shi, Sima, and military divisions... all of them.For the specific list, please refer to: Zuo Changshi: Tang Zhiqi; Right Chief History: Du Qiuren; Left Sima: Li Zongchen; Right Sima: Xue Zhongzhang; Military Advisor: Wei Siwen; Recorder: King Luo Bin. The people who cared about the country and the country of the Tang Dynasty heard that the son of the Duke of England had revolted in Yangzhou, and they all asked to join the army. Within ten days, the Yangzhou army expanded to hundreds of thousands.Li Jingye was overjoyed and asked Luo Binwang to write a disgusting essay on Wu Zetian.King Luo Bin readily agreed and waited on him with pen and ink, which was completed in an instant. King Luo Bin announced to the world that everyone is a loyal person, subject to Taizong and highly religious. The words are still in the ears, but the loyalty never forgets the heart!A handful of soil is not yet dry, so what care is there for a six-foot solitary?If you can turn misfortune into blessing, send it to the place where you live, and stand together for the honor of the king of diligence, without the order of the king, and all the nobles will reward you, referring to the mountains and rivers.If he is nostalgic for the poor city, wanders off roads, and is ignorant of the first signs, he will be punished later. Let's see who owns the world in today's domain! Calls to conquer Wu Zetian were posted all over the country one after another, and of course Wu Zetian also saw the original version of the call to action.She was very afraid that she would be unpopular, and she was even more afraid that the rebel army would point directly at Luoyang.She picked up the call to action, started reading from the first sentence, and commented on a few sentences after reading a few.By the time she was about to finish reading this surly article, she couldn't stop laughing. When she read "A handful of soil is not dry, what is a six-foot orphan?", Wu Zetian suddenly put away her smile, straightened her posture, and slowly read the following text. "If he is attached to the poor city, wanders off the wrong road, and is ignorant of the first omen, he will be punished later. Let's see who owns the world in today's domain!" She froze suddenly, repeating the last sentence, " Let's see who owns the world in today's domain!" Wu Zetian pointed to the proclamation and asked the courtier next to him, "Who wrote this article?" King Luo Bin. Wu Zetian sighed and said: "If you have this, you don't need it. It's the prime minister's fault!" In fact, King Luo Bin is indeed a master of literature, but not a master of uprising. Li Jingye became Xu Jingye and regained his true qualities as a hero in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but his IQ has yet to be discussed.First of all, there is the issue of slogans. Xu Jingye’s slogan at the beginning was “Why don’t you give me back the King of Luling?” But with the expansion of the rebel army, the leaders began to think about a problem: Li Xian is not in the hands of the rebel army. Would you like to support me? Therefore, if Empress Wu played a trick and let Li Xian stand up and speak out, wouldn't the name of the rebel army be lost? What is the justice of the rebel army? Xu Jingye, with a shiny forehead, thought of someone.
