Chapter 32 Chapter Thirty-Two

Su Wei, a remnant of the Sui Dynasty, was born in 534 A.D., and was an important minister of the Sui Dynasty during the Emperor Wen.By the time Wang Shichong established the State of Zheng, he was over eighty years old.Wang Shichong respected the old man of the two dynasties very much. He said: "Su Wei may not come to worship, but the court must listen to Mr. Su's opinion on everything." From then on, every time the court promoted a newcomer or elected an official position, Su Wei's name had to be added.Suwei was old, and Wang Shichong would not let him go to court, but on important festivals such as the Dragon Boat Festival or Christmas (birthdays of important people), he personally invited Suwei to the banquet and let him sit facing south.Only emperors and empresses can sit like this during ceremonies.

Wang Shichong also likes to get close to the people. After becoming emperor, he placed many couches in Xuanwu Gate and other places in the eastern capital.Wang Shichong did not tell his subordinates about his daily itinerary. He went to Dongtou today, South Gate tomorrow, and Humin Street the day after tomorrow.But no matter what, the purpose is to understand the sentiments of the people, receive the memos from petty officials and read them in person.For an emperor, this is already extraordinary enough.However, more outrageous things are yet to come. Wang Shichong likes to ride his big horse to the streets and alleys of the city, let the horse walk slowly, and chat with the neighbors next to him, talking and laughing.Generally speaking, when the emperor is driving, the people need to give way for safety.But Wang Shichong said: "In the past, the emperor lived in the ninth palace, and the people couldn't even see their shadows. It was impossible for the following things to reach their ears. I ascended the throne not for the sake of enjoyment. Now I , it should be more like a governor of a state, parading among the people. Many facts of the discussions in the court have been concealed, so I have set up many hearing points outside the court, and everyone can give me their opinions. I will Work harder to do things well, only in this way can we govern our country well!"

Wang Shichong also issued a decree: "Xichaotang accepts unjust cases, and Dongchaotang accepts appeals." With the order of the government, the memorial flew to the court like snowflakes. One day, Wang Shichong noticed a report letter.This letter reported against his relatives, and the accusation was also very eye-catching. The defendant is Wang Shichong's subordinate General Qiu Huaiyiqiu, who is the chief of Menxia Province (Minister of State Affairs).Although it was Qiu Huaiyi who reported it, several other people were also involved.General Guo Shiheng, King Xuanshu of Han (son of Wang Shichong), King Jundu of Yue (nephew of Wang Shichong) were all Qiu Huaiyi's fans.

They are good friends, after hanging out together for a period of time, they are proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.What angered Wang Shichong the most was that they did something that humiliated the family tradition together - NP.It doesn't matter if you don't know NP, just replace N with 3 and you will understand.Wang Shichong's son played this game with others. Several people called their concubines and many prostitutes to participate.In the midst of debauchery and debauchery, a group of naked buttocks ran around the banquet.At this level of official position, no one dared to take care of it anymore, but unfortunately, after Wang Shi became the emperor, this kind of behavior was the first thing he cracked down on.

They were exposed by Comrade Yushi Zhang Yungu. Wang Shichong was furious! He ordered Sanshou (samurai) to restrain his son and nephew and let them show their faces to him.He slapped his iron-like palms fiercely, and all the strength of charging and killing the enemy on the battlefield was used on their faces.Wang Shichong smoked dozens of times in a row, the mouths of the two unworthy men were split open, and their mouths were full of flesh and blood. After pumping them, my hands were numb.But Wang Shichong's anger has not dissipated. In order to let the two children remember his words, he asked people to carry them to Dongshang Pavilion.Dongshang Pavilion, the place where ministers stand against the board.The children with bad mouths were dragged there, and each of them received dozens of slaps, and almost passed out.This move by Wang Shichong shocked Qiu Huaiyi and Guo Shiheng, who were temporarily spared.

I don't know if you have any impression of Qiu Huaiyi. Remember the child who exposed Qiu Junming and killed him when Li Mi fled?He is Qiu Huaiyi, who killed his uncle, and now he does this kind of thing again, his face is not ordinary.He waited anxiously for Wang Shichong's verdict, but after waiting for several days, Wang Shichong didn't bother to ask, and the matter was left alone. Wang Shichong is actually trying to restrain himself, and by the way, highlight his excellent quality of killing relatives righteously.During this period, tens of thousands of manuscripts such as civil hearings, memorials, and advice came from below, and Wang Shichong couldn't handle it.The comrades of Zheng Guobaisi are extremely busy. Their daily tasks are to read memorials, hold meetings, make decisions, give orders, ask questions, discuss again, and come up with plans...

Sometimes, they don't know what to do.And the newly enthroned emperor is even more frustrating. He repeats, dawdles, dawdles, repeats as always.After working day and night for several days, Wang Shichong finally couldn't hold it anymore.Wang Shichong was bored, he didn't expect that being a diligent emperor would be so annoying, and he still stayed in the palace and didn't go out to feel comfortable. Su Liang, the imperial historian, advised Wang Shichong, saying: "Your Majesty talks too much but doesn't make sense. You just say what you think. Don't set up obstacles for yourself and then explain yourself." Angry, he would beat Su Liang to the point of being unable to take care of himself, or simply kill this dumb guy.

However, after listening to Su Liang's words, Wang Shichong bit his lip and remained silent for a long time, pretending to be very sad.He is introspecting himself, trying to introspect.However, at the end of reflection, there was no improvement at all.Wang Shichong, who was so busy with internal affairs, did not forget to step up his military attack, and the war hit Li Yuan on his head. After becoming emperor, Wang Shichong first attacked Yizhou in the Tang Dynasty.Here, he met a very stubborn defender.This guard is Zhang Shanxiang, Li Mi's former subordinate.Yizhou was just a very ordinary city, but Wang Shichong mounted his horse himself and brought hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. Zhang Shanxiang was defeated and killed.

It can't be blamed on Zhang Shanxiang's inability to fight, because the disparity in the strength of the enemy and ourselves is too great; it can't be blamed on the slow movement of the reinforcements sent by Li Yuan, because Li Yuan didn't send anyone to rescue at all.In Li Yuan's mind, Zhang Shanxiang was Li Mi's old general, and it would be better if he died.However, a few days later, he pleaded guilty to the incident. After the city of Yizhou was besieged and ran out of food, the soldiers starved for many days.Zhang Shan said to his subordinates, quickly chop off my head and give it to Wang Shichong, and you will be saved.Hearing this, the subordinates burst into tears. They would rather starve to death than do such a thing.From this, we can see what kind of person Zhang Shanxiang is.In the end, Yizhou collapsed across the board, and Zhang Shanxiang was turned over to Wang Shichong.

Wang Shichong looked down at Zhang Shanxiang who was forced to the ground by the soldiers. Zhang Shanxiang yelled at him, but Wang Shichong kept smiling in order to seek talents.Zhang Shanxiang continued to curse until he pissed off the emperor who had experienced tolerance in order to build his image as a wise king.Wang Shichong couldn't take it anymore, he picked up a big knife and chopped down at Zhang Shanxiang.Without a miracle, Jang Sun-sang died. Upon hearing the news, Li Yuan sighed, "I'm sorry for Zhang Shanxiang, but Zhang Shanxiang didn't forgive me!" Honestly, nonsense.

Zhang Shanxiang knew that Wang Shichong was cunning and deceitful, so he couldn't be trusted.Apart from mother-in-law and mother-in-law, Wang Shichong has a fatal weakness, that is, he is full of lies and capricious. In mid-May, Pei Xingyan, who was in the eastern capital, wanted to take the opportunity to kill Wang Shichong and restore the Emperor Taizhu.It's a pity that brother Xingyan almost did everything. Before he even started to do it, the secrecy work was declared bankrupt.After Wang Shichong knew about it, he beheaded Pei Xingyan and several others for public display, and easily quelled the rebellion. Pei Xingyan did bad things with good intentions. The coup he planned made Wang Shichong aware of a very serious problem: one day when the emperor is in power, he is in danger of restoration.Now that we have thought of this, we should come up with some means.Therefore, Wang Shichong ordered his nephew Wang Renze and his slave Liang Bainian to execute Yang Tong's death sentence. The decent way for an emperor to die is to drink poisoned wine.The emperor saw Wang Renze and saw him holding a small and beautiful bottle, so he understood everything.He asked Liang Bainian: "I don't think my sins are enough to die, I want to talk to King Zheng!" Liang Bainian thought it was right, so he asked Wang Renze what he thought, and Wang Renze nodded in agreement. Liang Bainian, who ran to Wang Shichong's dormitory, failed to send a message. He was blocked at the door by Wang Shiyun, who was more cruel than Wang Shichong.Liang Baibai's servant is one, and he can't compare with the king. If he is not allowed to enter, he will not be able to enter.He turned his head and ran back to Emperor Taizhu, and reported the situation. Yang Tong didn't give up, he didn't believe that Wang Shichong would be so heartless, so he asked to see his wife.Wang Renze hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement. However, the problem still needs to be Wang Shichong's consent.Liang Bainian ran to Wang Shichong's place again, and when he saw the door, he knew something was wrong.Wang Shiyun hadn't left yet, he was guarding the door, waiting for the news of Emperor Taizhu's death.Liang Bainian returned without success, but he didn't know that Wang Shiyun was already thinking about the successor of Zheng Guojun at this time. He doesn't allow any mistakes. Knowing that Yang Tong, who could not even see his wife, was very calm at this time, he burned incense and worshiped Buddha for the last time, and said a very famous sentence: "I hope that from now on, the emperor's family will never be born again!" After drinking the poisoned wine, Yang Tong waited desolately for the arrival of the god of death.Waited for a long, long... long time without dying.I don't know who made it bad, deliberately lowered the dose of the medicine, so that Yang Tong's death would be even worse.Wang Ren looked at Yang Tong who was still breathing, and couldn't bear it, so he quickly found a piece of cloth and strangled him to death. To kill Yang Tong, Wang Shichong was indifferent. Some people often say that life is really fucking fun, because life always plays with me.This has always been a truth for tragic characters.Just after Wang Shichong played others, he was also played by others.According to reports, after Qin Shubao, Cheng Yaojin, Li Junxian, Tian Liuan and other powerful generals all eloped, Luo Shixin, who was all-powerful in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, also joined the ranks of defecting. Name: Luo Shixin Sex: Male Birthplace: People from Licheng, Qizhou (Licheng District, Jinan City, Shandong Province) Height: 165cm (estimated) Weight: 63kg (estimated) Force: ★★★★★★★ Military:★★ Wisdom: ★★★★★★ can not speak English Specialties: Singles, group fights Personality: fierce temper, bad temper, super strict Luo Shixin, whose origin is unknown, signed up for Sui general Zhang Xutuo's team when he was fourteen years old.This was the beginning of Luo Shixin's military career. Luo Shixin has two shortcomings, one is short life, and the other is short stature (short and tough).At the age of fourteen, the diminutive Luo Shixin attracted the attention of the top generals.When he saw him for the first time, Zhang Xutuo guessed that the boy couldn't even put on armor, so he despised him very much. Luo Shixin has a big temper, he has been since childhood.Seeing that Zhang Xutuo didn't take him seriously, he was furious.Luo Shixin put on his armor, mounted his horse with a heavy weapon in his hand, looked at the audience mightily, and asked, "Who is there among you who is not convinced?" The heavy spear dances, its speed is like the wind, and the crowd is overwhelmed.So, the story happened like this. Before the short story begins, I want to popularize the knowledge of armor and heavy weapons necessary for soldiers in the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the Sui and Tang Dynasties in China.I believe that after learning this knowledge, you will understand that Zhang Xutuo's contempt is also very reasonable.During this historical period, the armor of soldiers was the heaviest armed since China had wars.The armor worn by all army soldiers is the uniform uniform at that time - Mingguang armor. Mingguang armor, as the name suggests, has large round guards on the left and right sides on the chest and back to reflect sunlight. We usually see that in TV dramas, soldiers wear skirt-like armor with iron pieces like fish scales on them.In fact, it is not accurate to call those scales iron sheets. They are armor sheets, special steel, connected in series by twisted shafts.The so-called killing the enemy without leaving a piece of armor is the phenomenon of the piece of armor falling off caused by cutting off the shaft with a knife, gun, sword or halberd.In addition to the knee skirt of the leggings, the Mingguang armor also has shoulder guards and arm guards, all of which are also composed of iron plate armor. All of these add up, how heavy it is, you can weigh it yourself. Minors are not allowed to join the army because they are afraid that they will be overwhelmed by the Mingguang armor.Don't get too excited if someone is really young enough to wear this outfit.It is useless to go to the battlefield with only armor. In addition to wearing such a big thing, you also need to wear a headgear (iron hat) and carry weapons (mainly bows and arrows, knives). The big bow is not light, and there are at least thirty arrows in the quiver; the knife used in war is a split knife, similar to today's machete; the lance (the kind Cao Cao often uses), is actually a heavy spear... so much , What I mean is: Even if Luo Shixin can pick and choose the fat, the weight of the equipment in this body will not be too light. Luo Shixin is dressed in all clothes, and Zhang Xutuo has a pair of wise eyes.For the next battle, Zhang Xutuo is going to let Luo Shixin enter.The day for Luo Shixin to perform is coming soon, and the place where the battle will be fought is Weishui (Weifang, Shandong).After the two sides lined up, the Sui army waited for the enemy to move.Zhang Xutuo sent people to provoke him, and Luo Shixin responded. Holding a spear in his hand, he rushed into the enemy camp without waiting for others to help.Just relying on a knife and a gun, stabbing and stabbing, killing several people in a row.At the end when they got tired of stabbing, they chopped off the head of the last enemy they had just stabbed to death, picked it up with their hands, and threw it into the air five meters high.Luo Shixin raised his spear and waited.The man's head went into free fall and plunged directly into the spear.Luo Shaoxia carried a spear with a head attached to it, rode a horse, and swaggered back from the enemy camp. Facing this fourteen-year-old child, no one in the rebel army dared to come out (the thieves are all afraid and dare not dare to overthrow). Zhang Xutuo personally led the soldiers and horses to quickly rush into the enemy camp and smash the enemy army. Luo Shixin made one extraordinary achievement. Kobe: Toss the ball up in the air, throw it yourself. Luo Shixin: Throw your head into the air and stab into the spear.
